When Urbana University Head Football Coach David Taynor assumed control of his alma mater in 2008, he probably dreamed of a day when he’d head into a season with a squad as strong as his 2012 edition. The team boasts as many as 19 returning starters, including 13 all-conference performers. Last year’s Blue Knights set school records for wins (8), points per game (36.2), opponents’ points per game (19.0), total yards (5,053), yards per game (459.4), rushing yards per game (190.8), passing yards per game (268.5), touchdowns (56), and average yards per play (6.3), amongst many others. Taynor’s Blue Knights set a new program standard in 2011, winning eight games thanks to a season-ending six-game winning streak. The sixweek stretch was the most dominant in the program’s 27-year history. The offense topped 40 points in all six contests, and the average margin of victory was 37. Three of the six victories came against conference opponents, as Urbana capped its twoyear run in the GLFC with back-to-back championships. In last year’s finale, Urbana appeared to be just starting to hit their stride. The team racked up a school record 69 points in a Senior Day win, putting the finishing touches on yet another assault on the team record books. Urbana’s high-octane offense smashed every team record on the books for the second straight season, and the defense held opponents below 20 points per game for the first time in school history. Momentum is clearly on Urbana’s side, and the conditions have never been as favorable as they are entering the 2012 season. This fall marks Urbana’s first as a member of an NCAA Division II conference that carries an “earned-access” bid into the national playoffs. The former 4-team GLFC has been absorbed into the The Trusted Resource to Help People Age Respectfully Personalized Care • Registered nurses on call 24/7 • Prescription management • Medical equipment access • Aide services and respite care • Social Services • Chaplain counseling • Bereavement and family support • Medicare and Medicaid Insurance assistance Now Offering MASSAGE THERAPY Introducing Angela Thompson Hospice Massage Therapist 949 N.

Urbana needs to finish first in the GLVC and eighth or better in Super Region Three for an automatic berth. Last year’s 8-3 campaign wasn’t enough as the Blue Knights finished just outside the top 10 in one of the toughest regions in the country. Urbana experienced how tough the region can be firsthand in last year’s season opener. On the road, Urbana dropped a 69-24 decision to nationally ranked, and eventual national runner-up, Wayne State University. Wayne State just barely snuck into the playoffs by grabbing the region’s sixth and final spot before making a run all the way to the National Championship. As deflating as that experience was at the time, it has this Blue Knight squad believing it can make a similar run. “We want to continue building off what we accomplished last year with the conference championship,” explains fifthyear senior tackle Ethan Oakley (West Liberty, OH/West Liberty-Salem HS). “This year, we want to take the next step and make the playoffs. After that, I think everyone on the team would like to go on a run.” Third-year starting quarterback D.J. Mendenhall (West Jefferson, OH/ West Jefferson HS) carries Oakley’s confidence a step further, “An undefeated season would be nice, and after we make the playoffs, we want to win a national championship.” Mendenhall has plenty of reasons to be confident. He finished his sophomore campaign ranked in the Top 10 in D-II in passing efficiency (158.87) and rushing yards by a QB (757). The signal caller has guided his offense to two of the most successful seasons in school history, earning him a preseason All-American nod entering his junior year. In his first two seasons at the helm, Mendenhall completed 65.7% of his passes for 3,572 yards, 36 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions. He also led the team in rushing over that span, racking up over 1,500 yards and 23 additional TDs on the ground. After just two seasons, Mendenhall already owns the school scoring record, but a lot of his confidence might come from playing behind one of the nation’s biggest, most experienced offensive lines. “It’s great playing behind a veteran offensive line,” marvels Mendenhall. “I love having veterans that know what they’re doing up front. Most of them have been here three or four years, here five years. From Day 1, they approached me and let me know, ‘If you have any problems, let us know and we’ll take care of it.’” Joining Oakley, and his five years of experience on the Blue Knight offensive line, is fifth-year left tackle Alex Maxson (Delaware, OH/Hayes HS), fifth-year guard Andrew Minda (Dublin, OH/ Coffman HS), fourth-year guard Scott Porter (Cincinnati, OH/Indian Hill HS), and third-year center Kyle Wallace (West Milton, OH/Milton-Union HS). Together, the group has over 100 career starts for the Royal Blue and White, and four of the five have already earned all-conference honors for their exemplary work in the trenches. It also seems poignant to mention that the front line averages 6’4” and 300 pounds, thank in large part to the 6’6”, 320 pound fifth-year tackle bookends. Oakley and Maxson have started each of the past 33 games together, paving the way for record after falling record. They’ll also pave the way once again for the returning conference freshman of the year, running back David Hill (St. Louis, MO/DeSmet Jesuit HS). A powerful bruiser, the 5’10”, 220 pound Hill bulldozed opponents for nearly 600 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie fighting for carries in a crowded backfield. His workload should increase significantly in 2012 behind fifth-year fullback Maurice Harden (Dayton, OH/Thurgood Marshall HS). Urbana’s possesses a strong ground-and-pound game, but the offense’s bread-and-butter is an allout aerial assault featuring third-year wide receiver Joe Webb (Mechanicsburg, OH/Mechanicsburg HS). Webb led the nation in yards per catch (25.1) as a sophomore, but he was often the third option on a stacked receiving corps. Gone are seniors and top targets Matt Hightower and Jerrell Leak, leaving an opening for someone else to be the benefactor of their combined 119 catches for 1,474 yards and 8 TDs last season. Webb doesn’t see his role as the team’s dynamic deep threat changing much. He believes Hightower and Leak’s replacements already exist on this roster. “We’re expecting a lot out of Marc Johnson (Lima, OH/Senior HS). We think he’ll be the #2 receiver to step up and play a lot for us.” Webb continues, “In the slot, we have a position battle between Nate Wilburn-Ogletree (Brookville, OH/Northmont HS), Sanders Sius (Olympia, FL), and Alvin Busbee (Columbus, OH/ Kentucky). Sanders Sius worked really hard this offseason. I think he’ll step up and have a big year. Ogletree and Busbee worked hard too, so they’ll push everyone and we’ll have a lot of options.” In all, Urbana returns eleven players with starting experience on offense. Tight end LaVelle Spivey (Newark, OH/Newark HS) assumed the starting role at his position last year after an injury sidelined the incumbent. In his very first start, he caught 8 balls for 87 yards and 3 TDs. Spivey will be joined by the team’s ultimate utility player, senior Matt Nowak (Garfield Heights, OH/Trinity HS). Nowak was recruited into the program as a tight end in 2009. He caught a couple of passes, including a touchdown, as a true freshman, but before his sophomore season, he bulked up to fill a need at guard for the Blue Knights. The following year, there was a new need for Nowak on the defensive side of the ball, so he made the switch to nose tackle. After just one game on defense, Nowak crossed back over the line to fill injured offensive lineman Scott Porter’s spot. Now, after donning four different uniform numbers to accommodate his many moves, a trimmed-down Nowak is back in #47 to fill the team’s H-back role. Defensively, Urbana returns 8 of 11 starters. For most teams, that’s a healthy haul, but compared to Urbana’s offense, there is an air of uncertainty surrounding the Blue Knight defense. New Defensive Coordinator Paul Smith hopes to answer most of the questions in his first camp with the team. Smith comes to Urbana from nearby Tiffin University, where he served on the same coaching staff as Taynor just a few seasons ago. Under Smith, the Blue Knights will continue to run their unique 3-3-5 defense that features fast and active linebacker/defensive back hybrids. One of those returning hybrids is junior David McComas (Dayton, OH/Carroll HS). “I think that we’re handling the adversity of a coaching change pretty well,” explains McComas. “It’s basically the same defense with some different calls. I think we’re pretty confident, and we’re willing to put in the work to accomplish our goals. Coach Smith brings an intensity to the game that I like to see in a defensive coordinator. He has a passion for this game, and he gets us fired up and ready to go.” McComas will be joined by a bevy of heady veterans on defense, including another preseason See URBANA.....B4 TODAY’S FITNESS BEAUTY FASHION HEALTH FITNESS BEAUTY FASHION HEALTH FITNESS BEAUTY FASHION HEALTH lifestyle FITNESS BEAUTY FASHION HEALTH August 22, 2012 s The Springfield Paper s Page B3 Fitness Today Chest Exercises Develop Lean Muscles in Women optimal comfort.

Massage Gift Certificates By KELLEE MARKWELL Master Aesthetician Q. I have a gift certificate for a massage and I just can’t find the time to go and receive it. Now that school has started it will be even harder. What do you suggest? Can most gift cards be passed on to someone else? A. In this modern world many of us fall into the trap of over scheduling our lives. This habit of crowding in just one more thing until you leave no margin in your life is a dangerous one, and one I am often guilty of. We tend to think of that personal space as wasted time, when in effect studies show that having a margin or break gives our minds and bodies a chance to re-boot and catch up. The result is a more efficient and effective person, not a less effective one. Experts suggest busy people actually schedule down time into their week. Many executives value their weekly massage time so much they work their meetings around it. Now that your children are back in school you may have a window of opportunity to have your massage. If you work outside your home consider breaking your one hour massage into two half hour sessions and use your lunch hour to get a half hour massage. You’ll end up with two lunch hour massages that you can take a month apart, giving you two days of rejuvenation. You may also find that many spas have late evening hours. Once the kids are back on a more structured routine, an eve- ning when you could slip away might work. Come to the appointment with your makeup off, freshly washed face and comfortable clothes. You can enjoy your massage and be ready to go home and have a great nights sleep, leaving you extra energized in the morning! If you just want to pass on your gift, most spas, including mine, will let you do so. I urge you to keep and use your gift. Someone gave it to you thinking you could use the relaxation and I feel confident that once you use it you will see and experience the value of an hour spent recharging your mind and body.

Along the way, Wittenberg won its 17th North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) regular season championship while extending its conference domination to 157 wins in the last 159 matches, stretching back to the 1997 season. The 16-0 NCAC regular season record earned the Tigers their eighth title in Labrador’s nine seasons and the 17th title in the last 20 years for Wittenberg overall. After capturing their 17th NCAC Tournament title, including 14 in the last 15 years, the Tigers hit the road to capture the NCAA Division III Tournament crown in most unlikely fashion. Wittenberg traveled to No. 1-ranked Calvin to defeat Rose-Hulman, Heidelberg and the 2010 NCAA Division III champion Knights before heading to St. Louis, where the Tigers swept California Lutheran, Eastern (Pa.) and Christopher Newport to raise the famed Walnut & Bronze trophy for the first time. Labrador’s record now stands at a phenomenal 296-41, including an NCAC regular season mark of 114-2. He leads active NCAA Division III coaches with a .877 win percentage and ranks second among active coaches in all NCAA divisions. The title defense begins Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 with the Courtyard by Marriott Wittenberg National Invitational, which includes Whitworth, Wartburg and Trinity (Texas), all of which are also ranked in the preseason AVCA poll. The challenging early-season schedule also includes nationally ranked foes Juniata, Hope, Calvin, Washington University and preseason No. 1 Christopher Newport, which lost to Wittenberg in the 2011 national championship match. Wittenberg opens NCAC regular season play Wednesday, Sept. 19, with a trip to Denison. A total of six letterwinners return to the line-up in 2012, starting with the talented setting duo of Hallie Donathan, class of 2013 from Tipp City, Ohio, and 2011 NCAC Newcomer of the Year Meghan Vodopich, class of 2015 from Canton, Ohio. They will be joined in the line-up by 2011 NCAC Libero of the Year Christina Gilene, class of 2013 from Milford, Ohio, outside hitter Jessica Batanian, class of 2013 from Toledo, Ohio, and middle hitter Andrea Behling, class of 2014 from Columbus, Ind. URBANA Cont’d HS) finished fourth on the squad with 57 tackles in his third year on the job. A trio of juniors, including Kevin Smith (Lexington, OH/Lexington HS), Nick Shaw (Coshocton, OH/ Coshocton HS) and Roy Harvison (Columbus, OH/ Marion-Franklin HS), add much-needed depth to the heart of Urbana’s defense. Replacing First Team All-Region performer Wes Edwards at cornerback is high on the defense’s priority list this fall. Edwards finished second in all of D-II in passes defended last season. Urbana opens camps with three vets vying for two starting cornerback slots. Junior Jake Krupko (Homeworth, OH/ Marlington HS) has starting experience at the position, and he turned in a strong spring season. His three interceptions were tied for third on last year’s team. Another junior, Kyle Allman (Massilon, OH/Washington HS), saw action in all 11 games last season, and sophomore Kenya Coombs (Mansfield, OH/Lexington) could see significant action at the position after converting from wide receiver. Questions also remain at some of the other open defensive back spots. Along with McComas, veterans Daniel Goodrum (Cleveland, OH/Villa An- gela St. Joseph’s HS) and Eric Fisher (West Jefferson, OH/West Jefferson HS) return to patrol the defensive backfield, but five departures leave a few openings on the team’s defensive two-deep. Trying to replace last year’s conference Defensive Back of the Year Juan McKeever, redshirt freshman Brian Ridley (Columbus, OH/ Whetstone HS) shined this spring, but this is a position where Taynor’s team could benefit from a flood of nearly 70 newcomers. Urbana’s special teams were much-improved in 2011. Former linebacker Clay Lust (Prospect, OH/ Olentangy Liberty HS) overtook the punting duties, averaging 39 yards a boot. Marshall Newsome (Huber Heights, OH/ Wayne HS) provided stability in the kicking game and earned First Team AllConference honors along with Lust. Longsnapper John Krabill (West Liberty, OH/West LibertySalem HS) returns for his third season to provide additional stability in the kicking game. All that remains now are the games. Urbana has 11 on its 2012 schedule, including 8 against GLVC opponents. The Blue Knights are 13-6 alltime against current GLVC teams. That includes a 13-1 mark in their last 14. The only unfamiliar opponent on the 2012 schedule is preseason favorite Indianapolis. The Greyhounds were the unanimous pick to finish first in the conference after coming over from, arguably, the country’s strongest D-II football conference, the GLIAC. Indy finished 7-4 last season. They saw their conference title and playoff hopes dashed in a 2819 loss to Wayne State in their home finale. Urbana grabbed the second spot in the GLVC’s preseason coaches’ poll. If the predictions hold true, Urbana will host Indianapolis on the regular season’s final day with conference title and playoff implications on the line. Urbana also opens the 2012 season at home. The Blue Knights welcome familiar foe Tusculum College to town on Saturday, September 1st. Urbana and Tusculum have tussled three times before. Tusculum came out on top all three times, including a 39-36 win on a final drive touchdown by the 24th ranked Pioneers with 24 ticks left on the clock in 2010. On their last trip to Urbana in 2009, the Pioneers escaped with a win in a 45-35 shootout. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. at Urbana University Stadium. Photo courtesy of Wittenberg University Springfield, Ohio — For the second straight year, the Wittenberg Tiger volleyball team will open a season ranked No. 5 in the preseason American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) NCAA Division III national poll. Head Coach Paco Labrador can only hope it is an auspicious coincidence. After starting the 2011 season at No. 5 in the national poll, the Tigers climbed all the way to the top spot by winning the first NCAA Division III national championship in program history. Wittenberg be- came just the eighth different program to finish a season ranked No. 1 since the AVCA started its national poll in 1992, and the Tigers are one of just 10 programs to earn a No. 1 ranking at any point during the last 20 seasons. Wittenberg ranks sixth in NCAA Division III history with 165 appearances in the weekly poll, and the Tigers have ranked in the final national top 25 every year since 1999.

Undersized, Jenkins utilizes an unstoppable motor to wreak havoc in opposing backfields. Last year alone, he finished with 59 tackles, including a team-high 18.5 behind the line of scrimmage. Jenkins will be joined up front by returners Bruce Parker (Sandusky, OH/Sandusky HS), Kyle Ferguson (West Jefferson, OH/West Jefferson HS), and Rodney Huston (Sidney, OH/Lehman Catholic HS). Parker was a Second Team All-Ohio selection with 36 tackles and a team-high 3 forced fumbles. The returning linebackers feature three more all-conference performers with a ton of experience. Reigning GLFC Linebacker of the Year Drew Underwood will line up next to Shane Cahill for the fourth straight year at UU after the duo played together at nearby West Jefferson High School during their prep careers. Together, they combined for 114 tackles last year, including 17 for a loss of 87 yards. The third member of this linebacker trio is no slouch. Lamar Ross (Columbus, OH/Walnut Ridge Points of Interest Football Standouts Earn Preseason Accolades Springfield, Ohio — Wittenberg University football placekicker Sean Williams, class of 2013 from Plainfield, Ind., cornerback Jamaal Everett, class of 2013 from Kettering, Ohio, and safety Mark Swope, class of 2014 from Fairborn, Ohio, have earned preseason recognition from OhioCollegeFootball.com. Williams earned a spot on the first team, while Everett and Swope were both chosen for the second team. Williams led the Tigers in scoring with 75 points after successfully converting 12-of-14 field goals and 39-of-41 pointafter attempts (PATs) in 2011. Over the course of two seasons, Williams broke the school records for consecutive field goals (19) and PATs (50).

With the weather more varied and unpredictable, homeowners nationwide have learned lessons from the past year and are taking steps to ensure their houses can efficiently withstand whatever Mother Nature dishes out. It’s all about keeping homes sealed tightly, so water and wind can’t leak in and tempered air doesn’t leak out -- causing heating and cooling bills to rise. Beware of Foundation Cracks Water is the enemy of your home’s foundation. A change in moisture content of the soil around your home allows water to put pressure on the foundation, causing cracks and leaks. Dry weather can cause the soil to shrink, while wet periods can cause it to soften. Poor drainage from your roof or improper ground slope around your home can funnel water against the foundation. Make sure gutters are clean and that downspouts extend away from your home. Check that the soil, grass or pavement properly slopes away from your foundation. creasing heating costs. The attic is a great start, but to achieve maximum efficiencies, don’t overlook areas such as basements and rim joists. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates homeowners could save an average of at least $250 yearly in heating costs by insulating basement walls. And by insulating crawl spaces and rim joists, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates homeowners can save up to 20 percent on energy bills. around ductwork, electrical boxes and plumbing.

Fishing can be tough in the summer months with hot water temperatures slowing fish activity, not to mention crowded lakes with jet skis and speed boats. Although challenging sometimes, August fishing can also be very rewarding. Try night fishing around shorelines and weed edges for bass. Troll deep areas for walleyes. Try fishing two hours before and after a storm, fish tend to increase feeding activity during these times in the summer. From ODNR: C. J. Brown Reservoir (Clark County) - Walleye can be taken using crankbaits, jigs with plastic bodies or curly tails, small spinners, or live minnows, leaches, or night crawlers as bait. Good curly tail color choices are white, orange, pink, or chartreuse. Fish by slowly jigging, trolling or drifting baits in 10 to 15 foot depths. Anglers report that the most successful bait has been silver or gold blade baits. Anglers report walleyes are being caught in the main lake river channel, around structure, and over the humps. The best fishing is in the very early morning hours. Most walleye are undersized fish but some legal fish are being caught. Channel catfish are being caught by anglers using shad, shrimp, night crawlers, and chicken livers in the upper end of the lake. Fish the bait tight line or slowly drift the bait along the bottom in three to six foot depths. Indian Lake (Logan County) - Saugeyes are being caught along south bank, and around the Moundwood and Dream bridge areas, try crankbaits and blade baits. Fish shoreline cover, lily pads for largemouth bass, try spinner baits, tubes, and crankbaits. Bluegills are still being caught around lily pads and in the channels, use wax worms, night crawlers or crickets. Caesar Creek (Clinton, Greene, and Warren counties) - Anglers casting in-line spinners and crankbaits are starting to catch a few muskellunge and, also, having fish follow their baits. Saugeye anglers are catching a few 15 to 18 inch fish from six to 15 feet depths, but most fish are small. Troll medium or deep diving crankbaits along submerged points or underwater humps. Cast or drift with live night crawlers on a bottom bouncing harness rig, or use a lead head jig tipped with a piece of worm. Fish in the early morning and early evening hours. . If you catch a muskie please report your catch to the Division of Wildlife’s Muskie Angler Log. The Muskie Angler Log was developed in partnership with the Ohio Muskie Anglers as a resource for Ohio muskie anglers and to support muskie man- Stock Photo agement efforts in Ohio by providing valuable muskie catch data to the Ohio Division of Wildlife. Channel catfish are being caught by shore anglers using night crawlers, shrimp, and chicken livers. Fish the bait tight line along the bottom in five to eight foot depths. Buckeye Lake (Fairfield, Licking and Perry counties) - Catfish is the hot bite right now at this 2816 acre lake east of Columbus. Try fishing cut bait and chicken livers around Lieb’s Island and Fairfield Beach areas. Largemouth bass are being caught along shorelines around cover. Use spinner baits, crankbaits, and plastics. Hybrid striped bass can be caught using spinners or drifting chicken livers between Seller’s point and the north ramp. Cowan Lake (Clinton County) – Bluegill are being caught by anglers using night crawlers or wax worms as bait. There are good fishing opportunities along woody debris shorelines and pier areas. Channel catfish are being caught by anglers using chicken livers, cut bait, shrimp and night crawlers as bait. Cast from the pier area. Keep the bait off of the bottom and about three to six feet deep. Anglers should keep in mind that there is plenty of forage for fish at this time of the year and can result in lower success while angling. Be patient. Rocky Fork Lake (Highland County) – Bluegill are being taken at four to eight feet using redworms and wax worms. Look for shoreline areas with woody debris or submerged trees and brush to be most productive. A variety of catfish are being caught by anglers using night crawlers, shrimp, stink bait, cut bait, and chicken livers. Fish the bait tight-line along the bottom in five to 10-foot depths. As water temperatures cool down, try fishing for saugeye by trolling crankbaits, casting jigs, or drifting with a night crawler harness. Indoor Air Quality: Protect Your Home From What You Can’t See (StatePoint) With so many people now optimizing their living spaces for energy efficiency, the risk for indoor air pollution in homes can actually increase, say experts, as pollutants can get trapped indoors as a result. Clean air inside your home is vital. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to air pollutants can cause health problems, including respiratory disease, heart disease and cancer. Many sources of air pollution are preventable. Start by ensuring no one smokes inside, as secondhand smoke contains nicotine, toxic chemicals and carcinogenic agents. Take care of water leaks immediately to prevent mold and mildew from forming around your home. Also, take steps to reduce indoor humidity. The EPA and the Department of Energy are offering tips on how to do so at www.EnergyStar.gov. If your home was Here are steps you built between 1930 can take to protect and 1950, it was likely your family from these insulated with asbestos.

First, check to see if your ventilation fans are working properly. If the bathroom mirror steams up after a hot shower or bath, it is time to replace or install a ventilation fan. For example, Panasonic’s ENERGY STAR rated WhisperGreen fan offers ventilation with a low speed setting for continuous whole-home ventilation and a high speed setting for increased moisture levels produced by showers or baths. WhisperGreen fans are extremely quiet, energy efficient and feature exclusive tech- nology, ensuring powerful performance. Not only will a combination of intermittent and continuous ventilation keep your family safer from allergens and toxic gases, but it can also save you money by preventing structural damage, ruined fixtures, peeling wallpaper and blistering paint.

Fortunately, finding foods kids love to eat for their breakfast, lunch and snacks may be easier-and more fun—than parents realize. Mom of two, softball’s Olympic Gold Medalist Jennie Finch knows how busy school days can be and what it means to work hard and keep everyone happy and healthy at home. No stranger to healthy diets and exercise, Jennie has some helpful tips for helping kids eat right during a busy school-year schedule. Finch suggests: • Make it Look Fun—If it looks good—it tastes good! Think about presentation when it comes to packing lunches to make it just as fun to eat. Bring color into the mix with snacks like cherry tomatoes, carrots and various types of fruits and berries. A sandwich can be made more appealing by using cookie cutters to create fun shapes for kids to show off at the lunch table. To get them to look forward to lunchtime, include a few surprises to brighten your child’s day. Let him or her find a new pencil, key chain or a special note to keep things fresh. • Nutritious Options for Anytime—Like many parents, I’m always on the go. So I look for nutritious options for my sons that I can grab and serve anytime to keep them at their best. Wholesome Chobani Champions Greek yogurt is both nutritious and delicious and perfect for breakfast, lunch or snack time. Chobani Champions authentic strained Greek yogurt is made just for kids and comes in delicious flavors my sons love such as Vanilla Chocolate Chunk, Orange Vanilla, VerryBerry and Honey-Nana. It is a good source of protein, vitamin D and bone-building calcium. • Making Healthy Eating a Family Activity—Get your kids to participate in all the things that make going back to school exciting and fun! Try packing lunch with your children, guiding them in making the right food choices, and they’ll look forward to eating the meal they created.

The new twelve team league’s charter membership will include: Concord University (W.Va.), Fairmont State University (W.Va.), Glenville State College (W.Va.), Notre Dame College (Oh.), Shepherd Uni- versity (W.Va.), The University of Charleston (W.Va.), The University of Virginia’s College at Wise (Va.), Urbana University (Oh.), West Liberty University (W.Va.), West Virginia State University (W.Va.), Wheeling Jesuit University (W.Va.), and West Virginia Wesleyan College (W.Va.). “We are extremely pleased to announce the formation of the Mountain East Conference,” stated spokesperson Reid Amos on behalf of the twelve presidents of the new alliance. “The goal of this effoxt has been to align like-minded institutions with similar budgets and goals across a regional footprint. We strongly believe that our charter membership creates a solid foundation that provides mutual benefit and secures the athletic future for our institutions. We will collectively make every effort to provide a high-quality experience for our studentathletes in Mountain East competition.” The Mountain East Conference intends to commence competition for the 2013-14 academic year, but will remain active with their current conference affiliations until such time that they would be able to compete as a conference within the NCAA. The move will not affect any athletic schedules for 2012-13. With current sports sponsorship, the Mountain East Conference will meet the NCAA requirement for a conference championship Jennie Finch.

The West Virginia institutions are currently members of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC), UVa-Wise and Urbana were slated to compete in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) beginning in 2013, and Notre Dame is an NCAA Division II Independent competing in five of its twenty-two sports as an affiliate member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC). UVaWise has been accepted into the NCAA membership process and will compete within NCAA Division II in 2013 while pursuing full membership; the other eleven schools are all NCAA Division II members.

What Are Curbstoners? These are people who sell cars that don’t belong to them, many from scrap yards or towing impounds. They pose as private sellers but are actually unlicensed dealers. This practice is illegal in most states and goes around many of the safeguards that are in place to protect used-car buyers. By some estimates, as many as one in 10 car advertisements on popular websites may be by curbstoners. So be careful, because often, such cars come with hidden problems. What You Can Do To be able to buy with more confidence, it helps to: • Take a testdrive—listen for weird noises, check the acceleration and braking. • Have a mechanic inspect the vehicle. • Get a Carfax Vehicle History Report. So you can know more about the car before buying. You can get a Carfax Report and learn more at www. carfax.com. AUTO REPAIR 715 E. Main Street Springfield, Ohio 937.322.2060 “The Guys You TRUST To Fix Your Car” Monday - Friday 8am to 5:30pm Closed Sat & Sun SEXTON’S SHOP Quality Auto Service • MINOR TO MAJOR REPAIRS • MECHANICAL • ELECTRICAL • FUEL 937•325•8388 1602 Selma Road Springfield, Ohio 45505 www.sextonsautocare.com (NAPSI)—As gas prices continue to fluctuate, it’s always a good time to evaluate your driving habits and take steps to keep yourself and your car on the road to savings at the pump. To demonstrate the 10 common mistakes that drivers make to affect fuel economy, General Motors conducted a driving test. Two of their fuel economy engineers, Ann Wenzlick and Beth Nunning, drove identical Chevrolet Cruze LTs on a typical workday commute. They each drove 20 minutes with city and highway driving, including a stop for coffee. Wenzlick averaged 37 miles per gallon using efficient driving habits and by maintaining her car and Nunning averaged 21 miles per gallon. On average, that was a $100 price difference at the pump. Here are some of their tips based on what they learned: • Get out of the drive-through lane. Idling for 15 minutes burns through about a quarter of a gallon of gas. Parking your car and going into the store to get what you want can actually help to save money on gas. • Take it easy. Jumping on the gas at every light, only to hit the brakes, isn’t going to get you home any faster. However, driving smoothly can improve your mileage by 20 percent. • Drive 70, not 80. It may not sound like much, but it’s likely a 10-mph difference can save you up to four miles per gallon when driving on the highway. • Use cruise control. It turns out that maintaining a constant speed over time is much more efficient than speeding up and slowing down over and over again. • Roll up the windows. At slower speeds, turning off the air-conditioning can save you a little, but on the highway, it’s better to roll up the windows. If the windows are down, the increased air pressure can slow the car and consume more energy than air-conditioning will. • Get rid of that extra stuff in the trunk of your car. Every 100 pounds of weight you carry in the car can reduce fuel economy by 2 percent. • Don’t ignore the “check engine” light. Serious engine problems can cut your fuel economy by up to 40 percent. • Try to bundle your errands. Plan ahead. An engine at operating temperature can be up to 50 percent more efficient than a cold engine. So, when pos- sible, it’s much better to run five errands in an afternoon than running one errand every day of the week. • Make your tires last. Properly inflated tires will improve your fuel economy and they will last longer. Also, rotate tires at manufacturer-recommended intervals. • Use the grade of motor oil recommended for your vehicle; the same goes for the octane level of gasoline. Motor oil that says “Energy Conserving” on the performance symbol of the American Petroleum Institute contains frictionreducing additives that can improve fuel economy. For most cars, the recommended gasoline is regular octane. In most cases, using a higher-than-recommended-octane gas offers no benefit-and costs more. • Ditch the roof ornaments. At highway speeds, up to a third of your fuel is used to Stock Photo overcome wind resistance, so even small changes to your vehicle’s aerodynamics can have a big impact in fuel economy. • It pays to be prudent. According to Roger Clark, manager of the GM Energy Center, “With a well-maintained car, the best drivers get up to 25 percent more miles per gallon than average. When you combine a poorly maintained car with inefficient driving habits, the fuel economy of the worst drivers can be 50 percent below average.” Clark added, “The fuel economy of every vehicle is greatly affected by how you drive and how you care for your vehicle. Often, relatively small changes to your driving habits and vehicle maintenance can make the difference between being on the bottom or the top of the fueleconomy scale.” To learn more and for more tips, visit www.chevrolet.com.

B12 s The Clip-N-Go Shopper s August 22, 2012 A Favorite Summer Dessert Reimagined With California Avocados (NAPSI)—After all the hard work of getting into tip-top shape for the summer season, many folks have a tinge of guilt while they enjoy those traditional picnic dishes. 7 whole graham crackers (14 squares) 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar ¼ tsp. salt Fortunately for summer foodies everywhere, Liz Weiss, MS, RD and Janice Newell Bissex, MS, RD—better known as The Meal Makeover Moms— have partnered with the California Avocado Commission to put a healthy spin on a summer favorite…pie. Desserts made with fresh, seasonal produce are a great way to celebrate the summer. With California avocados in season from spring to fall, they are a delicious ingredient for any summer dish, including dessert. The Meal Makeover Moms reimagined the traditional Key Lime Pie and developed a zesty California Avocado Yogurt Key Lime Pie recipe that combines limes, creamy Greek yogurt and avocados nestled inside a delicious homemade graham cracker crust. One might not immediately think of avocados as something to use in baking, but 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted 1 egg white Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. the versatile California avocado adds a creamy rich flavor to any recipe. In addition to their consistent quality and exceptional flavor, they also offer an array of nutritional benefits. California avocados are naturally sodium and cholesterol free and contain “good” fats (both poly- and monounsaturated fats), along with nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Since the greatest concentration is in the dark green fruit closest to the peel, The Meal Makeover Moms suggest nicking and peeling the skin from the avocado to get to the most nutrient-rich fruit. milk To view more of The Meal Makeover ½ cup lime juice Moms’ recipes or learn about California 1 envelope unflaavocados, visit www. vored gelatin CaliforniaAvocado.
