Final preparations are being made by the Lawrence-Scioto Solid Waste Management District to host an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conference on Dec. 6. According to promotional material for the event, “experts involved in local, state and federal efforts to fight environmental crimes will share their knowledge with law enforcement, public officials, community leaders and public defenders at this free workshop.” One of the organizations dealing with many of the environmental issues of the area is the Lawrence-Scioto Solid Waste Management District. “The Lawrence-Scioto Solid Wast Management District is firmly committed to the investigation and enforcement of environmental laws within the district. Throughout the year, the district provides numerous programs for residents to properly dispose of tires, e-waste, hazardous waste, pharmaceuticals and other materials.

PCSD discusses creating new district report card Ryan Scott Ottney PDT Staff Writer

During a public forum meeting at Portsmouth City Schools Wednesday morning, Superintendent Scott Dutey said the district isn’t pleased with the current district report card system released each year by the Ohio Department of Education.

SSU students learning at Compass Community Health Ryan Scott Ottney PDT Staff Writer

Classroom learning can only take a student so far. That’s why students from the Occupational Therapy program at Shawnee State University took a field trip to Compass Community Health on Thursday to watch their instructor in action. Barbara Warnock is both the occupational therapy instructor at SSU and the director of occupational therapy at Compass Community Health, on 11th Street in Portsmouth. Warnock brought 22 students from her Occupational Therapy program at Shawnee State University to her facility at Compass on Thursday to observe a pediatric evaluation. “This is the end of the semester, and they’ve al-

ready went through what it’s like to have a referral, what’s it look like to actually do an evaluation and make a treatment plan, and do a treatment. They practiced that in our area school systems this semester, so today they’ll come in and just watch me go through the OT process. They’ll do an observation. I think I’m going to have one student actually do a couple pieces of it with me, then they’ll fill out a form and do an observation while I do that,” Warnock said. In the case presented to students, a kindergarten student is struggling in school and has poor coordination and handwriting. “Today I’m actually going to look at her sensory See SSU | A6

Scioto high school seniors receive Honda-Ohio State Math Medal Award

Associated Press

MARYSVILLE, Ohio — A new animal cruelty task force in Ohio is intended to help overburdened humane societies respond to calls of animal neglect and abuse. The executive director of the Union County Humane Society in western Ohio says he established the Animal Cruelty Task Force of Ohio to handle humane-agent calls in counties that need help. Director Steffen Baldwin says a major problem in rural Ohio is finding humane society agents who have time to respond to animal cruelty and neglect complaints and that have the resources to care for the animals once they are seized. He says it is also difficult to find agents who have the expertise to work with authorities to prosecute owners who break the law.

Obituaries DANIEL BASHAM Daniel Basham’s journey through this life began on December 28, 1989. He was born to Joe Basham (Brandy Stringer Basham) and Sheela Gast (fiancÊ Tom Ricer) and became brother to Joshua Basham and Shawna Logan (Steve). He was welcomed as grandson to Omar and Shirley Gast of South Webster, Dorothy Basham and the late Frank Basham, also of South Webster. His family relationships were so important to him. He loved his nephew Ty Logan and niece Taylan Logan. He cherished his Aunt Shelly Ing, Uncle John Ing and cousins Mitchel and Alex Ing; Aunt Linda Crabtree, Uncle Greg Crabtree, and cousins Lora Maynard and Lisa Holbrook; Uncle John Basham and Aunt Patti Basham, and his cousins Jeremy Basham and Stacy Hornikel; Uncle Rick Basham and cousins Brandon and Christina Basham; Uncle Paul Basham and cousins Jesse and Morgan Basham. Many of Daniel’s friends became just like family to him, especially Drew Billingsley. They were more like brothers than friends. The journey continued as Daniel grew up in South Webster, involved in Clover Buddies, 4-H and Cub Scouts. His love of sports, though, soon found him involved in Biddy Basketball, Little League and soccer.

He was always “the concession stand kid� while he waited to grow up enough to actually step on the field with the big guys. That opportunity came, and he was active on the basketball team, the baseball team, and the soccer team—not the star, necessarily, but the one who kept the team spirit going, encouraging his teammates, always cheering them on, and stepping up when he was needed. Daniel shared his talents with a traveling baseball team in 2003 and 2004. He even participated in the USSSA World Series in Broken Arrow, OK. And the road through life continued. Daniel surprised quite a few people when the school performed the musical Beauty and the Beast. He was absolutely perfect in the role of Gaston, and he delighted cast, crew and audience as he romped across the stage, singing and dancing. He appreciated Mrs. Climer so much as his music teacher, and he truly lived up to her confidence in him as a performer. Always happiest when he could make those around him happy, his smile on that stage lives

on even now in so many people’s memories. The next milestone in Daniel’s journey saw him graduate from high school in 2008. His last two years in high school were a little rocky at times, but Daniel knew he could rely on people like his principal, Robert Johnson, to listen and to offer advice. Later on, Daniel would share with his mother how much that meant to him. After graduating, it took two years, but he decided that the best way to honor the love of family and friends and his love of his country was to enlist in the U.S. Army. He graduated boot camp in 2010 and then served 29 months at Camp Casey in South Korea. From the many posts on his Face Book page after his untimely death, it is clear that he continued along the same path of love and loyalty to friends. His strong need to protect found its expression in his service in the Army. His military service ended in 2013, and he decided his voyage through life would continue in Long Beach, CA. So much of life still lay ahead of him, and he wanted to see as much

of it as he could. The ties of friendship soon called him to Mesa, AZ, however, as he moved in with an Army buddy. And it was there, on November 16, that Daniel’s journey through this life ended. A heart that had held so much love for family and friends, that had urged him to give his all on the field of sports, the musical stage, and then to serving his country, finally faltered, and Daniel slipped from this life to travel on in the next. He has gone ahead to claim his reward in Heaven for his life of protecting those he loved. Those who are left behind to journey on can rest assured they have a guardian angel, ever loyal, ever faithful, who waits with God to meet as family again. Funeral Services will be Monday Nov. 25, 2013 at 2:00 pm at D. W. SWICK FUNERAL HOME IN SOUTH WEBSTER with Pastors Kenneth Martin and Mark Bales officiating. Interment will follow at South Webster Cemetery with military honors by James Dickey Post 23, American Legion. Visitation will be Sunday from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the South Webster High School Gym and Monday from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at D. W. Swick Funeral Home in South Webster.

Ohio shooting suspect sought ‘suicide by cop’ ANDREW GINS

WELSH-HUG-

AP Legal Affairs Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A suspect in the shooting of his ex-girlfriend’s 9-yearold son and another former girlfriend told acquaintances “he’s not going back to jail” and was shot to death Friday by police. The confrontation with police in a parking lot shared by a Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club on the east side of Columbus capped a chaotic morning involving victims shot in two different locations and a desperate search for the suspect. Danny Thornton, 47, was tracked to the shopping area where he was killed after getting out of his car with a gun shortly before 10 a.m., according to Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner. Officer Steve Smith, a 24-year police veteran who recently joined the SWAT team was shot once and was in stable condition and in good spirits, Weiner

said. Jaiden Dixon, 9, and Vicki Vertin, 42, were in critical condition at separate hospitals Friday. Police wouldn’t discuss a motive. Weiner said that after the two shootings were reported, police were contacted by two people who knew Thornton. “They called Columbus police, and said, ‘Hey, we just got a phone call from Danny. He said that he’s killed two people, and that he’s not going back to jail,’” Weiner said.

Memorial Chimes installed at SSFUMC The South Shore First United Methodist Church is excited to announce the installation of The Memorial Chimes system in the church bell tower. In May 2013 the United Methodist Women decided to sponsor the fundraising necessary to purchase a chimes system. The foundation of the fund was monies given In Memoriam of South Shore citizens and SSFUMC church members, Charlie Stevenson, Toby King, Wayne Morton, and George and Flora Ensor as well as donations In Honor of Kathleen Martin. A yard sale and Vendors Showcase added additional money to the fund. It was expected

to be several years of fundraising activities in order to achieve the money needed. Then In November, with a generous donation from the Wayne Morton Family, the final payment was made to purchase the chimes system. The chimes system plays traditional hymns as well as seasonal and patriotic music. We hope through the ministry of the bell system that South Shore First United Methodist Church will serve as a witness and a presence of God in South Shore. The congregation sincerely thanks everyone who had a part in providing South Shore with The Memorial Chimes.

OPINION

4 Sunday, November 24, 2013 Portsmouth Daily Times

50 years later, Kennedy is still missed I am sure nearly everyone reflected back this week on where they were when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. It is one of those events that will stay etched in my mind my entire life. I was working at WIOI. I was barely 18, when I heard the bells ring on the Associated Press wire machine. That only happened a couple of times in my career. It is one of those sounds that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. It scares you because you know you are about to be brought into some huge event, and that responsibility feels almost overwhelming to an 18 year old. I rushed to the machine, saw the authenticator word for the day, then, and only then, I was allowed to open a sealed envelope hanging on the wall. Inside that envelope was a single word for that particular date. The authenticator word changed each day, and that envelope was sent to us from the Federal Commu-

nications Commission once per year, and you had better not open it until you hear the right amount of bells from the Associated Press. I matched Frank Lewis up the words. The first thing I saw was - “Dateline - Dallas” “The president has been shot.” I never thought I would be working at a time when something like that occurred. I immediately read the bulletin on the air and received word from our owner, Chuck Maillet, that we were to cease commercial broadcasting. For the next several days we read only news reports from the national news and local announcements of events to be held or events to be cancelled. We played no music. We ran no commercials. It was so somber that even internally no one, even in the unreal world of radio, was making

light conversation. And, oh yes, there were tears, from me, and from the rest of the staff. I had to go pick up my girlfriend at Portsmouth High School, and everyone was crying as they exited the building. It was one of the darkest days in the history of the United States of America. I have thought about our country back in those days many times. I remember the real hope that a Kennedy administration promised. I remember several things about the man. First and foremost he brought a new life into America’s White House. Children were playing in the Oval Office. He was sailing off Martha’s Vineyard with his beautiful wife. He laughed at himself from time to time. When Vaughn Meador created “The First Family Album,” and impersonated the president, he laughed and said, “He sounds more like Teddy.” He had the greatest smile, eyes that sparkled, and a renewed outlook on what America could be. He set

the timeline for putting a man on the moon and he did it. He stared down Russian ruler Nikita Kruschev, and he made us feel secure in an extremely insecure world. What may be the most significant achievement of his administration was his stance for the Civil Rights movement. Teaming up with his brother Robert Kennedy, who was his Attorney General, he took on communism, racketeering and racism. He sent federal help into the south where African-Americans were being persecuted and even killed. He sent them into Alabama when young men and women were kept out of state universities. He gave us hope. He knew things that leaders don’t know today. For example, like Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy knew that when a recession hit, it was time to cut taxes, not increase them. Nowadays we think the answer to all problems is to raise taxes. He knew the government could raise revenue

by cutting taxes. It is just an historic fact. He was also a bonified war hero - see PT 109. My wife asked me the other morning - “Do you ever wonder what the world would have been like had he lived long enough to really establish his ideals?” I have and I do. John F. Kennedy was the epitome of class, as was his wonderful wife, Jacqueline. America could be proud when he traveled abroad because he represented a hope that we had not seen in years. I miss him as I know most Americans who were alive at the time do. Close your eyes and listen “Ask not what your country can do for you - but ask what you can do for your country.” Rest in peace Mr. President. Frank Lewis is a PDT staff writer.

For Instance, you may have often thought to yourself “I would love to work with and encourage those who are in nursing homes or rehabilitation centers; however, I don’t have the experience to get a job in that particular setting. Well, think again, many businesses are short in staffing and would love for you to volunteer your time to read or chat with their residents.

With time and patience, you will quickly realize that your efforts can produce a win-win situation. As you invest your time, you will become more confident, skilled, and creative in engaging your audience. In adMonica dition, the person receiving Harris your time will feel valuable Contributing with a higher self-image. Columnist After a reasonable amount of time, you may want to consider possible employment opportunities based on your volunteer experience and newly developed skills. Volunteering is not limited to reading

and visiting others, it includes other activities such as sewing, creating crafts, cooking, cleaning, repairing items, small home improvement jobs and much more. A few pleasant reminders before deciding to volunteer are : (1) Take a look around to see what services are needed, (2) select an activity in which you enjoy and have experience, and (3)Commit to a trail period in case of unexpected personal conflicts. Being a volunteer has great health benefits as well. Your increase in positive emotions will be a boost to your immune system. As you relax after volunteering, you know you are needed and appreciated for the value you give. Your tasks, large or

small, mean a lot and will not be forgotten by others. In closing, I challenge you to think about the upcoming holiday season. There are so many who could use your volunteer service to make it through the holiday. Select your deed carefully, do it quietly, and sit back to watch the beautiful results you helped to produce. Remember, a gift from the heart will create a very warm spark that will last forever in the mind of the receiver.

performance on the state cards. The principal reportedly sent the note home with students, and Dutey said its message applies to Portsmouth as well. “We are concerned that these tests do not always assess all of what it is that make each of you special and unique. The people who create these tests and score them do not know each of you the way your teachers do; the way I hope to, and certainly not the way your families do. They do not know that many of you speak two languages. They do not know that you can play a musical instrument or that you can dance or paint a picture. They do not know that your friends count on you to be there for them to brighten their dreariest day. They do not know that you write poetry or songs, play or participate in sports, worry about the future, and sometimes you take care of your little brother or sister after school. They do not know that you got to travel to a really neat place, or that you know how to tell a great story, or that you really love spending time with special family members and friends. They do not know that you are trustworthy, kind, or thoughtful, and that you try every day to be your very best. The scores you get will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything. There are many ways of being smart.” Dutey said there are many successes coming from the Portsmouth City Schools that aren’t seen on the state report cards. “We had our National Honor Society induction last week. Alan Lemons was the speaker and he reminded everyone that he’s a ‘Burg grad. But he made a couple of really great comments, in particular about Portsmouth City Schools. One of them was that no district in this area has sent out, and seen come back, more attorneys, more doctors, more dentists, more upper-level professionals than Portsmouth City Schools,” Dutey said. He said there’s a negative image of Portsmouth School in the community, and it’s just not true. “There’s no question. We do an unbelievable job of preparing our students for life. The diversity, the education, there’s nothing that gets a kid more prepared for what they’re going to face than what our district can provide them. The others can talk about it. That’s fine. None of them can do it like we can, and like we do year-in and year-out,” Dutey said. A report card created by the district would offer a more broad look at student achievements than the state currently offers, and Dutey promised it would be honest and fair. “In order to be fair and really show, this is what we’re about too, I think we need to come up with certain criteria. And we want it to be fair, but we also want to show and share what we’re doing to try to remedy that problem. Which you don’t get the chance to do with the current system,” Dutey said. “We want to show and share everything that’s going on in our district. We want to share the number of students that we have involved in music in our district. We want to share the number of students involved in art, the fine arts. All of that needs to come into play. We need to share the number of students we have on the honor roll, and yet are involved in all these other activities because they’re there.” The Portsmouth City School District hosts public education forums quarterly at the high school. The next public forum is scheduled on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014.

in the Class of 2014, each student received a pewter math medal, plaque and $100 gift card from Honda of America Manufacturing and Ohio State University’s College of Engineering. In addition, the math medal award comes with a $3,000 scholarship opportunity at Ohio State’s College of Engineering for the 2014-2015 academic year. Over the past four years, 20 Southwest region Math Medal recipients have gone on to receive the $3,000 scholarship at Ohio State’s College of Engineering. “This prestigious honor recognizes students who excel in math and science, and serves as an indicator that an engineering career may suit them well,” said David B. Williams, dean, Ohio State College of Engineering. “These are all outstanding students, who we hope will become Buckeye engineers.” The Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program is a unique collaboration between Ohio State and Honda of America Manufacturing that supports initiatives in education, research and public service to positively impact students, faculty, public and private sector practitioners, and the transportation industry as a whole. Honda operates two auto plants and engine and transmission plants in Ohio, along with a major vehicle research and development center and engineering, logistics and purchasing operations in the state. With 16,000 associates—including more than 1,000 engineers—Honda of America Manufacturing is one of Ohio’s largest private employers. Ohio State’s College of Engineering places 14th nationally among public university engineering programs ranked by U.S. News and World Report, and its more than 7,200 undergraduate students choose from 14 different engineering majors. More information about the Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program is available at http:// honda.osu.edu.

penalties for offenses, such as open dumping and open burning,” said Dan Palmer, Director of the Lawrence-Scioto Solid Waste Management District in a released statement. “We want to thank Keep Ohio Beautiful and the Ohio EPA for selecting our district to host this Ohio Environmental Law Enforcement Training Workshop.” Palmer said participants of the conference will hear presentations on topics such as enforcement of environmental laws, meth lab training, how to form a local environmental coalition and community policing best management practices along with many others. Presenters scheduled to be at the workshop include representatives from the Ohio EPA, US EPA, Ohio BCI, Ohio Attorney Generals Office, Ohio Homeland Security, and others. This workshop is being offered free of charge, and lawyers, registered sanitarians and sanitarians in training, along with registered solid waste professionals, can received five continuing education hours. The workshop will be held on Friday, Dec. 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Bowman Auditorium at Ohio University Southern, 1804 Liberty Ave., Ironton, Ohio.

SSU From page A1 processing. The ability to screen-out sound. The ability to know her body in space. How well she gets on and off equipment. Then I will test her (fine motor skills),” Warnock said. She said it’s an excellent resource for students to have an occupational therapy facility in Portsmouth, where before they had to travel all the way to Piketon for field-work. “What’s really nice is, the collaboration with TCC (The Counseling Center) and Compass, is in 2010 the students wrote a grant and that started providing equipment and doing intervention for some kids in the home at Stepping Stones. We just finished with a one-day-a-week level-two MOT (masters of occupational therapy) student who came to the clinic to get her hands-on skills. Then in January through the first of May, we’re going to have two OT students do their level two here,” Warnock said.

Gina Collinsworth, of The Counseling Center and Compass Community Health, said the collaboration between SSU and Compass has been valuable to the entire community. “Just having those resources, like a world-class university and the health care that we’re trying to provide at Compass, which is improving access to care and helping remove barriers. There are a lot of people in our area that haven’t gotten routine medical care at any kind of facility like this, or any kind help in their daily life with all the struggles that they have. That’s why Compass is here, and that’s what’s so exciting about being able to work with all the organizations in our community,” Collinsworth said. The OT program has also been supported locally, through grants and funding provided by Second Presbyterian Church, the Scioto Foundation, and The United Way.

Force From page A1 Baldwin says he will resign as director of the humane society next month to devote his time to the nonprofit task force, The Columbus Dispatch reported. “Rural Ohio animal cruelty is such a different ballgame,” Baldwin said. “It’s not just John Wayne busting down doors and seizing dogs in cases with no food, water or shelter. It’s much more complicated than that in farming communities.” Baldwin and his new board of directors are trying to raise $120,000 for their 2014 budget. The task force is recruiting people it will pay to train and then pay to work at no cost to a local humane society. Humane societies in Champaign and Hardin counties have signed contracts, and Baldwin says he will continue to provide services in Union County, where he is a licensed

humane agent. He has also talked to humane societies in other counties. Ohio law says each county can have a humane agent, but does not require one. A humane agent is certified through training at the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy and appointed by a probate judge or a mayor. Current state law requires humane agents to live in the counties in which they serve. But Baldwin says pending legislation would change that, and make sharing resources much easier. Humane societies in counties such as Licking and Delaware have multiple agents, but there is generally more work than they can handle and not enough money, said Misty Bay, humane-services and marketing manager for the Humane Society of Delaware County.

‘Burg’s run ends 42-20 in regional finals Cody Leist

PDT Sports Writer

NELSONVILLE — There were more than a few differences between Wheelersburg and Columbus Bishop Hartley in Saturday night’s Division V, Region 17 Championship. One was looking for its first trip to the state semifinals since 1998 while the other was still on the path for its second state title in four years. Another was the size and talent lining up on the opposite sides of the ball. Unfortunately, the Pirates’

chances to advance to the final four came to a halt Saturday night as the Hawks, behind Sam Mackowiak’s 240 yards on 24 carries and five touchdowns, proved to be too much in a 42-20 outcome. “They just did a great job of working inside (and) outside,” Wheelersburg coach Rob Woodward said. “When we felt like we were stopping some things inside, they got outside on us and made some big plays. We were trying to counteract that outside and they were obviously pound-

ing it inside, we just couldn’t get them stopped.” Last week, the Pirates rolled the dice on their first kickoff against Martins Ferry and succeeded with an onside kick. Saturday, Wheelersburg almost went 2-for-2 on the start but Hartley recovered on its 49. The Hawks chewed up 51 yards on seven plays and took the only lead they needed on a 2-yard run by Mackowiak. Woodward felt the reasoning was to create opportunities. “We coached our kids up all

week to be ready for that and an opportunity posed itself,” Woodward said. Christian Ellis mimicked Mackowiak on the Pirates’ first response with a 2-yard touchdown run. However, the snap between Tristan Browning and Travis Sifford went awry and his pass for the 2-point conversion failed. Mackowiak expanded the lead to 14-6 with 2:15 on a 7-yard plunge. Wheelersburg was in the process of answering but Jordan Howard was ruled to have fum-

Jeeps, Indians win openers PDT Sports Report The South Webster Jeeps opened their season with a 48-31 victory over Manchester in the Paint Valley Classic Saturday afternoon in Bainbridge. Kacie Hall led all scorers in the contest with 14 points, which included two three-point baskets while Taylor Shonkwiler added 12 points and two three-point baskets of her own. South Webster also got strong performances on the boards from Haley Potters and Hayley Giles. Potters collected 16 total rebounds on the afternoon while Giles added 7 offensive rebounds for the Jeeps. The Jeeps’ next game will be Monday as Oak Hill will make the trek from Jackson to South Webster in what will be the SOC II opener for both squads. Manchester — 12 2 8 9 — 31 South Webster — 17 8 5 18 — 48 Manchester — Adams 3-0-9, Johnson 3-0-7, Ridout 3-0-6, Burns 2-0-5, Casey 2-0-4, Totals 13-031.

Records — South Webster 1-0, Manchester 0-1. Valley 52, LynchburgClay 37 Three double-digit scorers and quality play from the bench was the difference in Valley’s 52-37 season-opening win over Lynchburg-Clay at the Paint Valley Classic in Bainbridge. Bethany Conley led the way for the Indians as she accumulated a doubledouble with 15 points to go along with 10 rebounds. Lexi Doddridge was next in line with 11 points, 4 assists and a three-point basket for Valley while Megan Duduit added 10 points and a bucket of her own from three-point territory. In addition to Conley’s 10 boards, the Indians also got a helpful contribution on the glass from

bled the ball on the Hawks 31 with a second left in the quarter. “We’ve got to take that blow and respond,” Woodward said. “We’ve got to make sure we don’t cough the ball up at any time at this level of play.” The turnover proved costly for the Pirates as Mackowiak found pay dirt for the third time in the half, this time on a 25-yard run as he was relatively untouched. At the half, he had 147 yards on 15 carries.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, top, scores a touchdown against Indiana’s Tim Bennett, left, and Forisse Hardin during the second quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013, in Columbus, Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State had just stayed unbeaten with a recordsetting victory that also clinched a spot in the Big Ten title game, and Urban Meyer was already thinking about next week’s grudge match at Michigan. “It’s time to get ready for the rivalry game,” Meyer said. Braxton Miller ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns and passed for two more Saturday to lead the fourth-ranked Buckeyes to a snowy 42-14 victory over Indiana, extending their school-record win streak to 23 in a row. The victory, played at times in swirling clouds of snow, put the Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0) in the conference championship game

on Dec. 7 against Michigan State. Carlos Hyde became the first running back to go over 1,000 yards rushing in Meyer’s 12 years as a head coach. He ran for 117 yards and two scores. Ohio State’s defense throttled the Hoosiers (4-7, 2-5), who came in averaging 39 points a game. Flurries fell throughout with temperatures in the 20s. Half of the crowd of 104,990 had left by the time Ohio State built a 28-0 halftime lead. In the waning moments, the remaining fans loudly sang, “We don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan.” The Buckeyes close out the regular season at The Big House next Saturday against their

Georgia Southern stuns Florida 26-20 Mark Long

The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Kevin Ellison ran for two touchdowns, Jerick McKinnon had a huge score late and Georgia Southern stunned Florida 26-20 Saturday in what will go down as the worst loss in school history. No lower-division team had ever beaten the Gators, who won their previous seven games

against Football Championship Subdivision teams by an average of 45 points. So this was a shocker, even though Florida (4-7) has lost six in a row and secured its first losing season since 1979. Georgia Southern (7-4) ran for 429 yards and didn’t complete a pass all afternoon. McKinnon finished with 125 yards rushing, including a 14-yard

touchdown with 2:57 remaining. Ellison added 118 yards on the ground, scoring on runs of 45 and 1. Fullback William Banks also gashed the Gators, getting 94 yards up the middle. His 53-yarder on a third-and-2 play set up the winning score. Florida had a chance to win it, thanks partly to two missed extra points. Skyler Mornhinweg, making his

second consecutive start in place of Tyler Murphy (shoulder), got the Gators in scoring territory, but his final two throws fell incomplete. He had Quinton Dunbar open in the corner of the end zone on third down from the 17, but his pass floated high. He tried to force one to Solomon Patton on the final play, but two defenders

Clay’s Hopkins signs with Alderson Broaddus Cody Leist

PDT Sports Writer

For the last three generations, the Hopkins name has been synonymous with the sport of basketball. However, that will change as Clay senior Annie Hopkins, the greatgranddaughter of the late Richard “Red” Hopkins, Sr., the granddaughter of the late Richard “Dick” Hopkins, Jr. — both legendary basketball coaches at Portsmouth High School — and the daughter of David Hopkins, a current basketball official, has signed her National Letter of Intent to play college volleyball at Alderson Broaddus Univer-

sity. Hopkins credits her love of volleyball to her mom, Gayle. “My mom was always a volleyball player,” Hopkins said. “I had my mind set that I was going to be a basketball (player), then the transition from Portsmouth to Clay kind of took my interests away. I love basketball, I like to play it but I’m not as competitive with it as I was (in) volleyball.” What drew Hopkins to this NCAA Division II school, located in Philippi, W. Va., was the combination of distance and a home feel that she was Submitted Photo looking for in a school. Clay senior Annie Hopkins, center, signed her National Letter of Intent to play volleyball at

No. 3 Louisville beats Fairfield 71-57

Hopkins From page B1 “The drive there is what makes me think that I’m driving to my grandma’s house,” Hopkins said. “Just the back roads and the scenery just reminds me of around here.” The Battlers, members of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference or G-MAC, bowed out of the conference semifinals Friday to Cedarville University and finished with a 20-14 record. What drew Hopkins to the team was coach Carrie Bodkins and her program. Most notably, Hopkins said the entire team really made a pitch to her through social media. The last two seasons have raised Hopkins’ stock as an outside hitter. After being a Second Team All-SOC selection her sophomore year and a First Team all conference as well as a Second Team AllDistrict honoree her junior year, Hopkins finished her senior season with 277 kills, 230 digs and 38 aces, all team highs. She had a season-high 25 kills against Notre Dame. Outside of varsity volleyball, Hopkins has been a part of the Athens-based Elite Aces club volleyball team. She felt playing on the club circuit also helped in her recruiting. Hopkins said she could see herself staying as an outside hitter or moving to the back row once she makes the leap to college. Hopkins said the coaches like her athleticism and feel that she is a good fit for their

system. She feels the biggest thing for her to improve is her strength. One way Hopkins has been getting a head start on her career to become a physical therapist is taking advantage of the post-secondary options given by the state of Ohio. Currently, Hopkins is in the second year of taking college courses at Shawnee State University without having to pay for tuition. “Having two years down has made it easier on my decision, knowing what I want to do when I go into college,” Hopkins said. Once Hopkins has her bachelor’s degree in athletic training with a possible minor in business, she said that she may plan on returning to SSU for her master’s degree. Alderson Broaddus has been an expanding campus in previous seasons. Not only has a football stadium been created for the two-year-old program, four new dormitories have also been erected.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Chris Jones scored 15 points to lead No. 3 Louisville to a 71-57 victory over Fairfield on Saturday in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament. Montrezl Harrell added 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Cardinals (5-0), who extended their winning streak to 21 games, including last season’s run to the NCAA championship. Maurice Barrow paced Fairfield (1-4) with 14 points and Marcus Gilbert chipped in with 11. Louisville, which has three national titles, will be looking for its 27th title in a regular-season tournament when it faces No. 24 North Carolina in Sunday’s championship game. The Tar Heels beat Richmond, 82-72 in Saturday’s first semifinal.

The Stags stayed with the Cardinals for much of the first half and led 11-9 midway through it. But Louisville went on a 28-12 run to close the half and led by as many as 21 after the break. Louisville, which was playing its first game away from home this season, got a balanced scoring effort. Wayne Blackshear had 11 points and Russ Smith added 10 points and seven rebounds. Luke Hancock, who has been recovering from a strained left Achilles, had nine points in 17 minutes, and was 7 of 7 from the foul line. The teams combined for 53 fouls in what was far from a crisp contest. Louisville, which came in averaging just six turnovers, the best in the nation, had eight before halftime and 14 in the game. Fairfield used a full-court press to rattle the Car-

dinals’ vaunted guards. Jones and Smith each gave the ball away four times. But Rick Pitino’s press was also effective, forcing Fairfield into 19 turnovers. Neither team shot well. Louisville, which came in making almost 50 percent of its attempts from the field, hit just 38 percent and the Cardinals were just 2 of 14 from 3-point range. Fairfield fared just as poorly, hitting on just 34 percent, while going 5 of 15 from behind the arc. The Stags led 9-4 early. A jumper by Harrell tied the game at 11 and started the run that put the Cardinals in control. Hancock’s layup off a Fairfield miss gave Louisville a 37-23 halftime lead. Another shot by Harrell gave Louisville its first 20-point lead at 49-28, with 12 minutes left. Fairfield cut the deficit back to 51-36, but could not get

closer. It was 59-40 when Harrell picked up his fourth foul and 62-43 when Smith picked up his fourth. But by then, the game had been decided. Chris Jones took charge down the stretch. He had all but two of his points in the second half. The Cardinals’ 21-game winning streak is the longest in school history. Fairfield (1-4) has lost four in a row. The Stags were picked to finish sixth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference preseason coaches’ poll. This was the first meeting between the two programs. Louisville is now 156-37 in non-conference games under Pitino. Fairfield fell to 0-50 alltime against ranked opponents, dating back to the 1949-50 season.

Arizona stuns No. 5 Oregon 42-16 TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizona’s fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands. This was a big one for Arizona. For Oregon, it was a crushing blow, to its national title hopes and maybe its BCS bowl chances, too. Ka’Deem Carey ran for 206 yards and four touchdowns while becoming Arizona’s all-time leading rusher, and the Wildcats pulled off a monumental upset by taking advantage of numer-

ous Oregon miscues, shocking the fifth-ranked Ducks 42-16 on Saturday. “A good win, honestly,” Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said. “This was a great opportunity for our guys and they took it.” It was hard to see this one coming. Arizona was coming off consecutive home losses, the most disappointing last week’s toe-stubbing against Washington State. Oregon had raced through most of its schedule, a loss to Stanford putting a dent in its national championship hopes, but a Rose Bowl bid still on the

table. The Wildcats (7-4, 4-3 Pac-12) turned the tables on the fast-paced Ducks, eschewing the normal slow-itdown routine most teams play against them by keeping their foot on the throttle. With Carey bursting through the line to punish defenders and B.J. Denker dinking and dashing with a variety of fakes, the Wildcats jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead and kept going for their first win over a top-five team since knocking off No. 2 Oregon in 2007.

Florida From page B1 broke it up. Georgia Southern’s players rushed the field and celebrated wildly. They stopped long enough to pose for a team picture on the field, and then the party really started. Florida, which paid Georgia Southern $550,000 for this game, was left to ponder the fate of coach Will Muschamp. Athletic director Jeremy Foley and school president Bernie Machen said last week Muschamp was safe, but that was before the worst loss in school history and before there were thousands of no-shows in

The Swamp. The Gators have pinned their problems on a slew of injuries. But that doesn’t work against Georgia Southern, which won its third consecutive game despite playing without 19 of 65 scholarship athletes. Florida was beaten soundly — on both sides of the ball. Georgia Southern ran wild from the triple-option formation. McKinnon gained 66 yards on the first play of the second half, setting up Ellison’s 1-yard plunge on fourth down. The touchdown put the Eagles up

14-10. And that could have been enough against Florida’s inept offense. Mornhinweg was mostly ineffective, though he completed 14 of 25 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns. He hooked up with Patton for a 46-yard score with 5:41 left that tied the game at 20. But Florida’s defense couldn’t get a much-needed stop. And on the final drive, the Gators started with a crucial penalty and some questionable clock-management issues. Kelvin Taylor ran for 92

yards behind an offensive line that allowed steady pressure all day. And after Mornhinweg nearly threw two interceptions in the first quarter, the Gators stopped taking chances in the passing game until late. Equally alarming as Florida’s woeful offense was the team’s defensive effort. The Eagles gashed the Gators early and often, producing runs of 45, 53 and 66 yards. Eight Georgia Southern players had at least one run of 10 yards or longer.

try in the third quarter did the same thing off the left upright. The Hoosiers’ points came on Nate Sudfeld’s 4-yard pass to Shane Wynn and 25-yard pass to D’Angelo Roberts in the final 6 minutes. Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier was credited with 20 tackles, including five for negative yardage. After scoring at least 28 points in 10 consecutive games, the Hoosiers have managed just 17 points in consecutive losses to Wisconsin (51-3) and the Buckeyes. Sudfeld completed 25 of 41 passes for 224 yards, and Tre Roberson was 7 for 12 for 96 yards. Roberson

also ran for 79 yards on 12 carries. Ohio State has won the last 19 meetings with Indiana on the field (the 2010 victory was later vacated as part of NCAA sanctions), dating to a 27-27 tie in 1990. The Buckeyes snapped a tie for the school record with the 1967-69 Ohio State teams, which also won 22 in a row. That streak ended with a painful loss at Michigan — a defeat that touched off the famous “Ten-Year War” between Woody Hayes and his former assistant and nemesis, Bo Schembechler. Meyer will undoubtedly remind his charges of that defeat in the coming days.

The Buckeyes inflicted enough damage in the first half to take care of the Hoosiers. They took the opening kickoff and needed just five plays to cover 71 yards in just over 2 minutes. On the third snap from center, Miller found a gaping hole on a quarterback draw and picked up 41 yards. Hyde then sidestepped a tackler at the line of scrimmage and thundered into the end zone on a 16-yard run. It was 14-0 soon after Indiana punted. Miller scampered through another huge hole and then vaulted into the end zone at the right post on a 37-yard score. Indiana drove into Ohio

State territory three times in the first half but couldn’t register a point. The Hoosiers had to punt on fourth and 9 just inside midfield, gave up the ball on four incompletions from the 25 and then drove inside the 30 but Sudfeld was sacked by Michael Bennett on fourth and 6. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes tacked on two more scores — by the same two players who scored earlier. The third TD of the game was set up by Bradley Roby’s blocked punt that Ron Tanner recovered at the Hoosiers 8. Two plays later, Guiton took the snap and then flipped the ball to Miller on a reverse. He angled for the

right corner and was upended by cornerback Tim Bennett at the goal line, almost placing the ball’s nose into the end zone as he came crashing down on his head. Late in the half, the Buckeyes utilized their hurry-up offense to cover 69 yards in four plays. Hyde rumbled for 13 yards, Miller faked a handoff and raced 17 yards and then Miller hit tight end Jeff Heuerman over the middle for 34 yards. Hyde was barely distracted when he carried the last 5 yards to make it 28-0. During pregame ceremonies, 19 Ohio State seniors were introduced before playing their final home game.

trim into the 28-6 deficit going into the locker room. His run on the last play of the half was stopped right on the goal line. “We knew that we were doing things right offensively and moving the football, it just wasn’t meant to be tonight,” Woodward said. “Those little things you’ve got to have go your way in the game didn’t go for us.” Wheelersburg was able to punch the ball in on its opening possession of the second half thanks to a 1-yard run by Camron Parsley but Daylor Lewis’ kick on the extra point bounced off the upright. Mackowiak extended the lead to 35-12 on a 56yard run, his longest of the night. The Pirates responded with a 5-yard run

by Ellis and Eddie Miller kept the 2-point conversion to bring the score to 35-20 with 1:25 left in the third. Dylan Miller was able to recover his own onside kick but Wheelersburg was unable to capitalize when Saxton came up with his second interception on the night on the first play of the fourth quarter. Mackowiak capped the night on a 1-yard run with 5:55 to go. Wheelersburg will now look to find those who filled the production of 10 seniors off this roster. Eddie Miller finished his high school career with 110 yards on 23 carries and was 7-of-10 passing for 55 yards and an interception. The Pirates will also lose Ellis, Parsley, Sifford,

Dylan Miller, Tyler Claxon, Sam Robinson, Conner Stone, Michael Staggs and Tim Adkins to graduation. “They’ve been impact players for us for a number of years and have laid a ground work for the kids below them to really set the stage for the Wheelersburg football team,” Woodward said. “I’m so thankful for them for that.” Cody Leist can be reached at 353-3101, ext. 294, or cleist@civitasmedia.com.

A jet sweep by Austin May transitioned into a halfback pass but the strong winds knocked the ball down and allowed Hartley’s Alanzo Saxton to intercept it in the end zone. Quri Hickman entered the scoring column with a 1-yard dive. Needing a score, the Pirates started on the Hawk 46 thanks to a Dylan Miller return with 3:14 remaining.

Thanksgiving: A time of pigs and pilgrims Most Americans would tell you that Columbus discovered America in 1492, when he sailed the ocean blue. They would also say that Plymouth Rock, The Mayflower, and Pilgrims marked the beginning of civilization in America in 1620. These are, unfortunately, only half-truths. In actuality, the “new world” was being explored and invaded by many different European powers. In this period in Europe, they’re busy with Holy Wars and killing everyone in the name of God (theirs that is). The Spanish Catholics are running the Moors, Jews, and Muslims out of Spain, and this was termed “The Re-conquest,” or “La Reconquista.” In 1536, John Calvin is publishing “The Institutes of the Christian Religion,” and in 1564, French Huguenots establish Fort Caroline near the St. John’s River in Florida. The religious and political power struggle in Europe carries over in America

as the Spanish destroy Fort Caroline and massacre hundreds of Frenchman in Florida in 1565. This is recorded mainly as a great day for Catholics and a bad day for Lutherans. This is the beginning of St. Augustine, Florida, America’s oldest permanent city. The score then is Spain – 1 and France – 0, in the Great American Ballpark. This Spanish “La Conquista” is to be continued on this side of the pond, but now it’s about eliminating Lutherans and Lutheran bibles. In 1630, the Puritans come to modern day Massachusetts and in 1634 Maryland becomes the American refuge for English Catholics, while in 1664, the English take New Amsterdam from the Dutch and call it New York. When everyone is escaping Europe for reasons of religious persecution, it would seem that they found it again in America, all in the name of god (theirs that is). If the Indians had been smart, they would have just let all the white guys kill each

other off and charged admission to watch. Remember we’re bringing “civilization” and “Christianity” to these “heathens,” so the story goes. Meanwhile, back at the ranch in Europe, there are some significant factors that set the stage in America. In England, we see

the reign of King James, his Bible, King Charles, Restoration, King Charles II, and King James II, England’s last Roman Catholic ruler. This comes after Henry VIII married Catherine of Aragon. This is a big deal because she is the daughter of Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain and they’re the ones who sponsored Christopher Columbus on his famous trip across the Atlantic. It was Isabella who was the brains of the bunch. She understood that an army “fights on its stomach,” and wanted Columbus to take pigs, dogs, and horses on his voyage. In those days, dogs and horses were used often in battle and pigs were considered a very good food investment. They are very fertile and they can root and forage for themselves. They breed at nine months and have litters of 9 – 12. The carcass will yield about 75% dressed meat and a 4 ounce serving will yield 400 calories.

This makes pigs “the ambulatory meat locker.” When DeSoto brought pigs from Cuba, they may have been the descendants of the pigs Isabella had Chris take with him on his second trip. Once again, when you study American History, you read about Pilgrims, Columbus, and other explorers, but what seems to be a well- kept secret would be the religions and personalities of these explorers/conquerors. I think it safe to say that the messy details of America’s exploration and exploitation is left out of most textbooks, but it’s those details that make the historic dates and names more interesting. It’s the things like Isabella’s pigs that worked well, but is left out of most books. In The Flip Wilson Show of the 70’s, he did a skit, in elaborate drag, portraying Isabella of Spain. According to Flip, Chris told Isabella that he was “gonna find Ray Charles.” I’m just sayin’.

Winston, No. 2 FSU roll past Idaho Kareem Copeland The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Life off the field may be complicated for Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston and the second-ranked Seminoles, but things are simple between the lines. Winston threw for 225 yards and four touchdowns as Florida State broke a school record for points in a game in an 80-14 victory against Idaho Saturday. An ongoing sexual assault investigation of the Heisman Trophy candidate continues to cast a shadow over the program while the team focuses on football. State attorney Willie Meggs told The Associated Press on Saturday it is unlikely that a final decision will be made before Thanksgiving on whether to charge the quarterback. The lawyer of the accuser, Patricia Carroll, claims Winston raped the victim on Dec. 7, 2012. Winston’s lawyer Tim Jansen said the sex between the two was consensual. “The football field is a sanctuary to me,” Winston said. “And it’s like that for all of our teammates. When all of us are on the field everything is

just zoned out. We focus.” Florida State (11-0), second in the BCS standings, is two wins away from a likely berth in the BCS championship game with the regular-season finale at Florida next week. This is the first 11-0 start for the program since the 1999 national championship season and the first time going undefeated at home since 2000. The Gators (4-7) lost 26-20 to Georgia Southern on Saturday and will be heavy underdogs next week. Florida State should go into the Atlantic Coast Conference championship without a loss and be favored again. A trip to Pasadena for the title game is nearly within its grasp. Winston, a Heisman Trophy frontrunner, played just one series in the second half. “It’s not right for the game,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said when asked about getting Winston better stats with more playing time. “People know he played well. … He played exceptionally well and he’s on a great team. “To me, stats aren’t the key for awards. It’s how well you play, how you dominate your opponent and what you do. That’s my opinion. People who look at numbers don’t

really know the player.” The Seminoles have dominated throughout the season, but 66 points was the largest margin of victory since a 69-3 win against Murray State in the 2012 season opener. They topped the 77 points the Seminoles scored in 1995 against North Carolina State in 1995 to remain unbeaten. The 607 points scored by Florida State in 2013 broke the ACC singleseason record set by the Seminoles last season. Fisher, who criticized his team’s focus early, admitted he was being picky, “but that’s the elite standard we want to be held to.” Devonta Freeman opened up the scoring with a 60-yard run on their seventh offensive snap of the game. That was the beginning of the punishing day for a run game that posted 336 yards rushing. He had 129 yards on 11 carries as the entire backfield got loose. Freeman is now the 14th player in school history to rush for 2,000. James Wilder Jr. carried an entire possession on his back in the second quarter. He capped a five-play, 85yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown with 5:54 left in the second quarter.

Alabama rolls over Chattanooga 49-0 John Zenor

The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — AJ McCarron passed for two touchdowns and became No. 1 Alabama’s winningest quarterback in Saturday’s 49-0 victory over Chattanooga. McCarron completed 13 of 16 passes for 171 yards before leaving one drive into the second half of his final game at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the Crimson Tide (11-0). He improved to 36-2 as a starter, breaking a tie with Jay Barker for the school mark. McCarron and Alabama got an easy tuneup for the Iron Bowl against No. 6 Auburn to determine the Southeastern Conference Western Division champion. Both teams are still hoping for national title shots in a state that

has claimed the last four BCS championships. The Tide produced its third shutout of the year, blocking a field goal against the FCS Mocs (8-4). Kenyan Drake ran for 77 yards and a 13-yard touchdown with starting tailback T.J. Yeldon sitting out to rest a sprained ankle. Freshman Derrick Henry ran six times for 66 yards and scored on a 5-yard touchdown set up by his own 27-yard scamper. Christion Jones scored on a 75-yard punt return in the second quarter for his third return TD of the season. It was atonement for Jones, who fumbled a return after Chattanooga’s first series. Alabama outgained the Mocs 435-175 despite turning to the backups for most of the second half.

SSU names VRCFA theater for Eloise Covert Smith

Submitted Photo

The Vern Riffe Center For the Arts on the Campus of Shawnee State University.

Wayne Allen PDT Staff Writer

Since the Vern Riffe Center For the Arts was constructed in 1995 on the campus of Shawnee State University, the center has hosted countless number of shows and concerts — but the main theater of the center has remained nameless. On Nov. 13, it was designated as the Eloise Covert Smith Theater before the Southern Ohio Performing Arts Association performance of “Mamma Mia!” According to Shawnee State University, “Eloise Covert Smith was a graduate of Portsmouth High School and dedicated much of her life to education. She taught elementary school in New Boston and Wheelersburg. After retirement, she remained an advocate of higher education and was a supporter of Shawnee State University, making a significant estate gift in 1995 to the SSU Development Foundation’s Reach for the Stars campaign.” The Vern Riffe Center For the Arts was opened in 1996 with the Julliard String Quartet performed during grand open festivities. The celebration continued through May 2nd including performances by Doc Severinson and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. The main

The family of Eloise Covert Smith joined SSU President Rita Rice Morris in dedicating the Eloise File Photo Covert Smith Theater at the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts. Shown, from left, are Tom Covert, Brenda Covert, Dr. Morris, Betty Covert and Howard Covert.

theater of the Vern Riffe Center For the Arts — now the Eloise Covert Smith Theater — was designed by George Izenour. “Eloise, a teacher, and her husband, Sam Kenyon, an engineer and contractor, owned lands from the ridge to the river and from the gas lines to the Wheelersburg exit,” said Tom Covert, nephew of the late Eloise Covert Smith. “It was from this background and from these lands in which this gift is rooted. I know Eloise and Sam are pleased to see that a portion of their fruits remained here for education.” Upcoming shows for the Eloise Covert Smith Theater include the annual holiday concert from the Oak Ridge Boys on Mon. Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m. On Dec. 1 the Portsmouth Wind Symphony will hold a holiday concert starting at 3 p.m. Also performing will be “A Christmas Carol” on Dec. 3. According to sopaa. org, “We all know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. But did you know that Dickens’ story is credited with helping to popularize all the Christmas traditions we take for granted? Christmas trees, cards, carol singing — even giving employees off for Christmas were not common practices at the time the story was written.

Woven with beautiful renditions of holiday songs such as ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ and ‘Greensleeves’ this sumptuous production will remind us why we never get tired of watching the Dickens’ story about the importance of charity and love.” “Rock of Ages” will be performing in the theater on Feb. 5. According to its website, rockofagesmusical.com, “set in LA’s infamous Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages tells the story of Drew, a boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl, both in LA to chase their dreams of making it big and falling in love. Rock of Ages takes you back to the times of big bands with big egos playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair.” Also performing is, “The Miracle Worker” on March 25 and then classical musician Jenny Lin on April 9. According to www.jennylin.net, “Jenny Lin is one of the most respected young pianists today, admired for her adventurous programming and charismatic stage presence. Her ability to combine classical and contemporary literature has brought her to the attention of international critics and audiences. She has been acclaimed for her ‘remarkable technical command’ and ‘a gift for melodic flow’ by The New York Times.”

To wrap up the season, “West Side Story” will be coming to the theater on April 21. According to its website, www.westsidestory.com, “It is widely known that West Side Story (WSS) is based directly on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Far less well known is the fact that Shakespeare based his play (1594) on other material, particularly a narrative poem by Arthur Brooke entitled The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet (1562). The theme of two lovers thwarted by circumstances beyond their control, however, had long before been established in Western legend: Troilus and Cressida, Tristan and Isolde, to name only two such pairs. In more recent times, American folklore had assimilated the myth into the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys.” For more information about the Southern Ohio Performing Arts Association and upcoming shows visit, soppa.org. Tickets can be purchased at the McKinley Box Office in the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts at Shawnee State University from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, online at Ticketmaster.com or any Ticketmaster Outlet, or by calling 740-351-3600.

Dead at 7 Dear Annie: I want to thank essay, claiming young drivers you for printing the essay “Dead cause more accidents. True. But at Seven,” by Paul O.

You two are a blessing, and I’m conRead on for more: vinced you’ve saved a life. -- S. From Salem, Mass.: Capability, not Dear S.: Thank you, but not every- age, should be the topic. I am 93, in one thinks we’re such a blessing. Many good health with fast responses, and older drivers were upset about this I’m a defensive driver. I drive below the

speed limit in the right lane, away from the lane-changers and speeders. I also drive with my right foot on the accelerator and my left foot on the brake to eliminate hitting the gas by mistake and plowing into people or buildings. Florida: What I got out of “Dead at Seven” is that parents should teach their kids not to run into the street after a ball or anything else, that kids should be taught to stop on the curb and look both ways to see whether it is safe to cross or go into the street after a ball. Maryland: I have to take issue with the good doctor describing senior drivers as a “growing danger” on the road. If a child were to run into the street, he and his parents had better hope and pray that the car that hits him belongs to a watchful, slower-moving senior and not to my 30-year old son who can’t take his foot off the gas.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013: This year you appear more willing to take risks and step into new territory. You will choose experiences that broaden your mind. You also will let go of a rigid mindset. If you are single, you could meet someone from a different culture. By interacting with this person, you will see a new style of living. If you are attached, the two of you might opt for a special vacation together. You will want more one-on-one time as a couple away from your obligations. The two of you also might consider taking a class or learning a new hobby together. Count on LEO as a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Listen to news within your immediate circle and decide just how far you want to go with a personal matter. You might decide that you’d be happiest letting sleeping dogs lie for now. Your time will come. Confusion surrounds your finances. Tonight: Invite friends over. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHH You might not realize how inquisitive you are. Sometimes observing and listening might be more effective. People will relax and speak more freely. Stop by and catch up on a friend’s news.

A surprise could cost you. Make sure to doublecheck all expenses and count your change. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be full of energy, especially after you touch base with a favorite person. Listen to someone’s concerns with extra care. You might want to echo what you have heard, as

misunderstandings could emerge today. Tonight: Sort through invitations, then decide. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Get into the holiday spirit, whether it be decorating, raking or sharing with a story about Thanksgiving. Others will respond to your enthusiasm.

All Portsmouth Public Library locations will be closed Nov. 28 for Thanksgiving. Closure of the Northwest Library Branch At the October Board meeting, the Library Trustees made the difficult decision to permanently close the Northwest Library branch due to structural and environmental issues with the building. Union Township did attempt repairs but the cost to complete all repairs to the 1930’s school building is beyond their budget. The Library is very grateful to both the Northwest Board of Education and Union Township for allowing PPL to house a branch in the building since 2001. The bookmobile will continue to service Northwest patrons at the NW branch parking lot. Bookmobile staff are working on a schedule. Northwest staff will be reassigned and the collection will be re-cataloged to other locations. At this time, no discussion has occurred with the Board about relocating the NW branch. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever The Portsmouth Public Library is partnering with the Portsmouth Little Theatre to celebrate Barbara Robinson’s classic book, ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.’ The PLT will be performing the stage version of the show the 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of December, but the Library will be hosting a series of events as well.
