The language used in the statements provided to The Daily Sentinel has been preserved due to the nature of the allegations. POMEROY — Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt provided details of the allegations of discrimination against Village Mayor Mary McAngus during an interview on Wednesday and Thursday. “Unfortunately, allegations have been made by several officers and dispatchers in reference to Mayor Mary McAngus’s continued behavior and vulgar language used against a gay officer in our department,” Proffitt stated. “Officers have provided me with statements that they were made uncomfortable during interviews with the use of [the term] ‘queer’ by the Mayor,” said Proffitt. “She also called an officer into her office and informed him that another officer was ‘queer’ and used the word many times. She then asked if [the officer called in] was gay, and he became uncomfortable and left. Another officer responded to the mayor that he has a family member who is gay and did not feel someone of her stature (mayor) should talk like that about an employee.” Proffitt provided copies of those statements made by himself, Village Administrator Paul Hellman, Patrolman Kyle Calendine and his significant other, Harold D. Barnhart, Jr. [who is not employed with the Pomeroy Police Department], as well as four other village employees who wished to have their names withheld. In the statements, allegations have been made regarding comments, actions and language used by the mayor against or in reference to openly gay officer Calendine and his domestic partner Barnhart. Calendine has been employed as a part-time officer with the village since Sept. 7, 2012, when he was hired following and interview with both Proffitt and McAngus. In his statement provided to The Daily Sentinel, Proffitt states that the first incident of vulgar language by the mayor occurred approximately two weeks after Calendine was hired. McAngus called Proffitt to her office and stated that she heard “Kyle was a queer.” She then proceeded to ask Proffitt what he was going to do about it. Proffitt advised that he was not going to say or do anything about it, because it would be discrimination. According to the statement, McAngus also said she didn’t See POLICE ‌| 3 Man arrested after attempted shooting Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com Submitted photos Pictured, front row, from left, are: Patsy Keebaugh, special guest; Bonnie McFarland, RN, BSN, Director of Community Health and Wellness, Holzer Health System, Gallipolis Medical Center.

COLUMBUS — An October antlerless-only whitetailed deer muzzleloader hunting season, extended hunting hours and new bag limits were proposed to the Ohio Wildlife Council on Wednesday, Feb. 6, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The proposed antlerlessonly muzzleloader hunting season would be Oct. 12-13 and scheduled for the second weekend of October in subsequent years. The proposal includes making the October muzzleloader sea- son for antlerless deer only, regardless of the method of take, and eliminating both the bonus gun weekend in December and the early muzzleloader season at three public hunting areas (Salt Fork Wildlife Area, Shawnee State Forest and Wildcat Hollow). Hunting hours are proposed to be extended 30 minutes past sunset for all deer firearms seasons, including the weeklong deergun season, youth season and muzzleloader seasons. This will make the hours the same as archery season. County bag limits are See SEASON ‌| 3 Meigs County Relay for Life kickoff in the works Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Plans are moving forward for the annual 2013 Meigs County Relay for Life which will be held on June 7 and 8 probably at the Rock Springs Fairgrounds. Courtney Midkiff, chairman, advises that a planning session will be held at 5 p.m. on Feb. 26 at the University of Rio Grande, Meigs Branch. At that time, on-line registrations will be discussed as well as organizing teams to participate in the event. Midkiff said that this year Debbie Hysell will be handling the luminaries which sell for $10 each and can have either one or two names on each bag. The luminaries can be done in memory of or in tribute to somebody. Relay teams are still needed, as are sponsors for each one. Each team does fund raising projects prior to the Relay for Life and the ones raising the most money are recognized following the event. The Relay for Life kickoff comes on March 15 at a dinner to be held in the cafeteria at Meigs High School. The chairman pointed out that in 2012 132 Meigs County cancer survivors/patients asked for assistance from the American Cancer Society and were provided with 272 services including, but not limited to, transportation assistance, patient navigation, lodging, and programs such as “Look Good, Feel Better, Reach to Recovery; I can Cope.” She also noted that survivors/ patients can access services and referrals from the Ferman E. Moore American Cancer Society Cancer Resource Center, which is located in the Meigs County Health Department offices. “As the local coordinator of the cancer resource center and as an American Cancer Society volunteer, I cannot begin to tell you how fulfilling it is to be able to tell a survivor/patient ‘Yes, we can help you along your cancer journey,’” said Midkiff. This week sponsorship forms which show levels of supp0rt for teams, with the funds collected to go to the Ohio-Pennsylvania unit of the American Cancer Society which provides funding for services here, were mailed out to local businesses this week. The levels of sponsorships are Platinum, $750; Gold, $500; Silver, $250, and activity sponsorships of $100. 60390604 �Friday, February 8, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com He blames her for Meigs County Community Calendar his sexual health Dear Dr. Brothers: I am so upset and unhappy that I don’t know what to do. I am a single woman in my 30s, and I have had the herpes virus for a number of years. I always tell my partners, and they either handle it or they don’t. I let my last partner know as usual, and he insisted that he would take his chances, since I am on medication and we always used a condom. Now he has tested positive, and he is furious at me. I thought I was being responsible. Have I really Dr. Joyce Brothers ruined his life? — C.T. Dear C.T.: No matter who Syndicated you are, learning that you are Columnist positive for herpes is never easy. Some people take it harder than others, but what you all have in common is the problem of a pretty minor but incurable virus with a gigantic social stigma. The preventive steps you took were all the right ones, and before this guy blames you, he might want to consider that someone else could have given him the virus. In any case, there is no way you could have been any more responsible and upfront than you were. The fact that your partner struck out at you should not make you change the way you do things, nor should it inspire any more guilt than you probably already have. Still, most people who have herpes don’t even know it, so unless they are tested just before meeting you, nothing is certain. Your best move is to wait until this guy simmers down a bit and see if he apologizes for his unfounded accusations. I hope he will realize that many people keep it to themselves after a positive diagnosis, but that you were honest, brave and respectful enough to tell him the truth. If he’s still furious at you, it’s best to walk away, because you picked someone who can’t live with the consequences of his own decisions. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I’ve heard of people who use food as a substitute for love, and stuff themselves as a result. I really never thought about a husband doing that to his wife, but I wonder what you think. My husband and I are content, but we’ve been going downhill in the sex department for a few years. It’s gotten so that he brings me food instead of making love each night. It’s almost as though he hopes I won’t notice. I haven’t said anything, and I have gained 15 pounds. — H.M. Dear H.M.: Although the specific situation of a husband offering up food instead of himself to a sex-starved wife might not be something you’ve heard about, surely the concept of using food as a substitute for love can’t be such a foreign one to you. Examples abound. Although moms are more conscious of nutrition these days, there still are those who cling to the notion of the roly-poly baby as “healthy,” and do their best in the kitchen to make it happen. Then there’s the old saying, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” There’s simply no reason that can’t be turned around and applied to the woman in the relationship. Some men feed their wives or discourage diets or tell them they look better with an overabundance of curves because of their own insecurities. Many times it’s because they don’t want to take the chance of having a hot-looking spouse who draws the attention of other men, especially if the husband has let himself go. In your case, it seems very possible that your husband is trying to distract you from the problems he may be having with his sex drive or even his feelings for you. The best way to confront the situation is head-on. He may not be aware of what he is doing, so don’t put him on the defensive. Try a little tenderness instead. Good luck!

Award-winning Ohio University series now a published book University Communications and Marketing releases ‘Appalachia Rising’ ATHENS — Ohio University recently announced the publication of a book showcasing the relationship of the University with the surrounding region — “Appalachia Rising: Stories of Hope and Achievement from Ohio’s Appalachian Hills and Valleys.” Developed by University Communications and Marketing (UCM) and published by Ohio University Press, “Appalachia Rising” captures the essence of the University through the works and words of the people in and of the region – students, faculty, staff, alumni and others involved in its support and revitalization, said UCM Executive Director Renea Morris. Originally created as an awardwinning editorial series in the University’s news medium, Compass, “Appalachia Rising” features initiatives through which the University community is elevating lives across the region. These people-focused success stories highlight the many meaningful ways OHIO serves society by supporting educational, economic, and creative and wellness endeavors, as well as other humanitarian efforts. Through 17 feature-length articles, the 98-page book exemplifies the mutually reciprocal relationship between Ohio University and its Appalachian setting. The stories artfully illustrate how these communities are forging ahead hand-in-hand: Revitalizing the environment through stewardship of shared resources, empowering entrepreneurs through economic development, and bringing hope and healing to neighbors in need through access to programs and services. “As we seek to position ourselves to meet the challenges of the 21st century, this partnership has never been more important,” President Roderick J. McDavis said. “The stories outlined here offer a glimpse into the work that is raising the region - our region - day by day. They are points of pride and sources of inspiration, but it is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what we can and will accomplish.” Many of OHIO’s programs and initiatives are captured in “Appalachia Rising.” Highlighting efforts ranging from adult literacy to future Appalachian women, “Appalachia Rising” has put a face on the community outreach, educational enrichment, and student leadership accomplished everyday by the University. “The stories in this book reflect the essence of the Appalachian spirit and the power of combining the academic culture of higher education with the culture of the surrounding community in which we live,” said contributor Richard Greenlee, an eighth generation Appalachian and first generation college student, as well as dean of Ohio University’s Eastern Campus. The “Appalachia Rising” Compass series achieved international recognition by placing in the top three in its category in the 2011 Ragan Employee Communications Awards. The book is available for purchase through Bobcat Essentials in the Baker University Center. Institutional and bulk orders can be purchased through University Communications and Marketing at http://www.ohio. edu/compass/appalachia/index.cfm For more information on the “Appalachia Rising” series, visit http:// www.ohio.edu/compass/appalachia/.

BERGHOLZ, Ohio (AP) — More than 50 Amish children could lose one parent to prison — and most of the youngest could lose both — on Friday when 16 men and women are sentenced in beard-cutting attacks on fellow members of their faith in Ohio. Most defendants could face as long as 10 years in prison and are asking the judge for leniency so they can return to their homes and farms, teaching their sons a trade and their daughters how to sew, cook and keep house. But their bid faces an uphill battle. Victims of the 2011 attacks, which the government called a hate crime and an attempt by a splinter group to shame members who left or denounced it, say justice is needed, especially for the ringleader. In a rare interview last week in Bergholz at the community’s sprawling farm amid rolling hills in eastern Ohio, unmarried 19-year-old Edward Mast, grandson of ring leader Sam Mullet Sr., said he is anticipating a life of mentoring Amish children and sharing in child-rearing if the parents go to prison. While he spoke, a 15-year-old used a chain saw to cut fence planks and a 12-year-old crisply drove nails into the planks as a 10-year-old held up Ohio, was on hand to lend his remarks for the event. To officially light the wreath, Matt Johnson, Executive Director for the Holzer Cardiovascular Institute, invited special guest, Patsy Keebaugh, to share her experience with Holzer Cardiovascular Institute. Keebaugh is a former HCI patient, who shared her story of extensive heart health issues despite a lack of sig- day, February 10, 2013, at the Deal Funeral Home in Point Pleasant, W.Va., with Rev.

Prison terms will make the whole operation harder to maintain, Mast told The Associated Press. “It will be a mess,” he said, shaking his head under a wide-brim hat. Mullet broke away from the mainstream Amish in 1995, seeking stricter cultural rules and Scriptural interpretation than is the norm in the eastern Ohio community, authorities said. He was the undisputed leader of his group, counseling relatives on religious matters, negotiating drilling rights on his land and denouncing Amish who questioned his authority. Mullet’s community, like many Amish groups, grew through marriage and the purchase of farmland to sustain extended families that work and pray together, mostly shut off from outside influences like electricity, autos and electronics. Amish communities have a highly insular, modest lifestyle, are deeply religious and believe in following the Bible, which they believe instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry. Contact with the modern world is limited, and glimpses from the news media inside Amish communities even rarer. The five beard- and hair-cutting attacks followed years of animosity, traced in part to a nasty custody battle involving Mullet’s daughter and his strict demands on religious observance. The custody dispute led to a contentious history with local law enforcement over the county’s seizure of two Mullet granddaughters from their mother. One of Mullet’s daughters-in-law and a former brother-in-law told investigators that he allowed others to beat members who disobeyed him, according to an affidavit. He punished some by making them sleep in a chicken coop for days and was sexually intimate with married women to “cleanse them of the devil,” the two relatives said in the affidavit. Mullet’s defense argued there was no proof of such sexual conduct. His community had contact with other Amish groups, often because of family ties throughout the region or when gathering at livestock auctions or to buy farming equipment. Some Amish spoke out against his authoritarian style, and the government said that led to the attacks as Mullet tried to discipline dissenters who left his community and Amish bishops who condemned him.

Season From Page 1 proposed to replace deer zones. Proposed bag limits will be two, three or four deer, determined by county. The proposed statewide bag limit is nine deer with additional controlled hunt opportunities, which do not count against the statewide bag limit. The nine deer bag limit is reduced from last season’s 18 deer limit. It is also proposed that antlerless permits will only be valid until the Sunday before the deergun season. Urban deer zones would be eliminated. Hunters may harvest only one buck in Ohio, regardless of the method of take or location. Proposed deer bag limits, from the following counties combined: One either-sex permit, one antlerless permit (eight counties): Darke, Erie, Fayette, Hancock, Madison, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood. Two either-sex permits, one antlerless permit (23 counties): Auglaize, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Gallia, Harrison, Henry, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Logan, Meigs, Mercer, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Perry, Preble, Ross, Shelby, Van Wert and Washington. Three either-sex permits, one antlerless permit (57 counties): Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula, Athens, Belmont, Brown, Carroll, Clermont, Clinton, Columbiana, Coshocton, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Defiance, Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Fulton, Geauga, Greene, Guernsey, Hamilton, Hardin, Highland, Holmes, Huron, Knox, Lake, Licking, Lorain, Lucas, Mahoning, Marion, Medina, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum, Noble, Paulding, Pickaway, Pike, Portage, Putnam, Richland, Scioto, Seneca, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, Tuscarawas, Union, Vinton, Warren, Wayne, Williams and Wyandot. Proposed seasons for 2013-2014: Deer archery: Sept. 28, 2013 Feb. 2, 2014. Deer antlerless muzzleloader: Oct. 12-13, 2013. Youth deer gun: Nov. 16-17, 2013. Deer gun: Dec. 2-8, 2013. Deer muzzleloader: Jan. 4-7, 2014. The start of fall turkey hunting season is proposed to be moved to the Monday following the antlerless deer muzzleloader season. The proposed fall turkey hunting season is Oct. 14 - Dec. 1, 2013. Butler, Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Hamilton, Huron, Seneca and Warren counties are proposed to be added to the existing list of counties open for fall turkey hunting, which would bring the total to 56 counties. Deer and fall wild turkey permits would go on sale June 1, instead of March 1. Changes in hunting regulations are proposed by ODNR Division of Wildlife biologists and wildlife management staff. These proposed changes, if approved by the Ohio Wildlife Council, will take effect for the 2013-2014 hunting seasons. Open houses will be held statewide March 2 for public input on the proposals, and public comments are welcome online at wildohio.com. After receiving public input, the Ohio Wildlife Council will vote at its April 17 meeting. Police From Page 1 like a “queer” working for the village. Proffitt’s statement adds that the Mayor had confronted several employees of the police department and continued to make crude remarks about officer Calendine being gay. Over the course of the past three weeks, Proffitt said McAngus has asked him to make Barnhart leave the building even though it is a public place. Proffitt was also asked to write Calendine up for Barnhart being at Village Hall, something Proffitt said he could not and would not do. Proffitt said that many employees of the village, himself included, have family members, spouses, significant others or friends stop by to have lunch or bring other items to employees. According to the statement by Proffitt, McAngus does not want Barnhart on the property at anytime. The statement by Proffitt reads in part: The next morning the Mayor spoke to me and stated that I should not have told Kyle they could have lunch in the court room, she stated she didn’t even want “the boy” in the building. She stated “I don’t like that boy and I don’t want him around.” Again I advised her that we all have friends and family come in and have lunch, etc. and we could not discriminate against him. The allegations against the mayor continued on Jan. 25. Village Administrator Hellman, in a written statement provided by Proffitt, stated that while at the Mayor’s house to have contracts signed, she told him that there was a gay guy working in the police department and she had to ‘run off’ Calendine’s boyfriend. According to the statement, “she went on and on about how she didn’t like Kyle being gay and being on the police department.” According to Proffitt’s statement, on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, in interviews with new officers, McAngus informed both potential hires of a gay officer working in the police department. She also asked one if he was gay, making him uncomfortable according to the statement. Proffitt’s statement concluded: I feel that the mayor has been discriminating Transfer Any Prescription against Officer Calendine and his partner for a long period of time, it has recently gotten worse. I also believe that she doesn’t want me to hire Kyle full time because of his sexual preference. When I would tell her that I was going to hire him full time she would state, “Oh Mark we just can’t do that.” She has tried to influence her power to my employees to be against his lifestyle & Wait Time for Single Prescription LESS THAN 15 Min. and has come to be “out of control” in my office. On Thursday, Council President Jackie Welker stated that he had no comment at this time. Pomeroy Village Council will meet for a regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday at Pomeroy Village Hall. As of press time, calls to McAngus by The Daily Sentinel were not returned.

I’m here to tell you I wasn’t amused when the fire hydrants on Mulberry Avenue were being replaced, because those doing the work first had to shut off our water — and it’s quite impossible to shower without water. However, the inconvenience was only temporary. Besides, there now are new and fully functional hydrants where before there were hydrants altogether unreliable. So, the Superbowl came and went: you may have been frustrated, even peeved; even so, many local businesses and restaurants suffered a serious financial hardship. Unless you were one of these, you really have nothing to complain about.

First, if of Abraham no longer have anything, it involves us in the special status of being God’s chosen people is to make God out to be a liar. Why would this be true? It is because of the specific promises included in four major covenants God made as it involves the physical descendants of Abraham. These four covenants Scripturally delineated and dedicated to the line of the Jews are referred to as the Abrahamic Covenant, the Palestinian Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New Covenant. God still has certain plans and purposes as it involves His special-called people associated with these covenants. To teach that God has cancelled His specified promises to Israel is make God out to be a liar. If I were to fall prey to that teaching, I could also easily come to believe that I cannot have confidence in a lying God. Perhaps that is, after all, the insidious bottom line of it all. Apostle Paul stipulated pointedly concerning the special-called status of Israel, “God has not cast away His people which He foreknew…” Furthermore, according to Scripture, Israel will cease being God’s chosen people only when the sun stops shining and the moon stops reflecting the shine. If that ever happens, He said, “…I will cast off the seed of Israel.” Well, although I have not seen much of the sun or much of the moon in recent days, I am quite sure and rather confident each is still up there doing what it was created by God to do. So, as far as Israel is concerned, would you happen to have a clue as to what that might mean? total of your Sunday — once respected as “the Lord’s Day” and, as such, a holy day? Did you attend a worship service somewhere, at the church of your choice, I’m thinking, along with other Christians — which is the right thing to do? Either ironically or mysteriously, or both, that evening in the stadium where the Superbowl was being played there was a partial loss of electricity. Nevertheless, the world didn’t stop turning; Monday came in its turn, but neither Armageddon nor the end of the world. While the Superbowl itself was ongoing, however, thousands, even tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of souls passed out of this world overall into eternal damnation. Were you to assume I’m saying their Judgment Day came and they went to hell, I am indeed! Does this concern you? Unless you’re a bona fide Evangelist or Evangelical Christian, things of this nature won’t necessarily impress themselves upon you, but it is a daily occurrence. We’re not overtly conscious of spiritual happenings, since we live our own lives and pursue our own agendas—keeping “handsoff” most things external to us. By the time you read this article the word will be out concerning the Boy Scouts: at stake is their 103 year old tradition of not allowing homosexuals into their ranks, and/or to serve in leadership positions. There has yet to exist in this world an organization comprised of human beings that is 100 percent impervious to being challenged, or changed, from within or without; the Boy Scouts are now facing this fact. Not even the Christian Church is exempt, never mind God started it; here, too, are found mortal men and women, with some naturally being more selfish than saintly. The Lord has entrusted His Church to our care — and here and now, we’re a part of that whole. Be always cautious and humble, “as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove.” Peace.

The Hannan boys basketball team snapped a losing skid against Van for the third time this season after posting a 6442 victory Monday night in an opening round matchup of the West Virginia Hometown Invitational Tournament held in Mason County. The host Wildcats (3-16) snapped a 10-game losing skid with their third consecutive victory over the Bulldogs (212) this winter. HHS snapped a two-game skid on December 11 with a 72-66 win at Van, then ended a three-game slide on December 21 at Hannan with a 60-41 triumph. Van, however, was more than ready for another rematch Monday night, as the guests stormed out to an early 14-7 first quarter advantage. The Wildcats responded with a 13-6 second quarter run to pull even at 20-all headed into the break. HHS used a small 17-15 spurt in the third canto to establish a 37-35 lead headed into the finale, then the hosts put things away down the stretch with a sizable 25-7 charge — allowing Hannan to wrap up the 22-point outcome. Tyler Burns and Paul Holley each led the Wildcats with 15 points, followed by Brad Fannin with 14 markers. Kade McCoy was next with seven points, while Ty Paige and Tyler Jenkins respectively added six and five points. Charles Mayes rounded out the HHS scoring with two markers. Brandon Elswick paced Van with a game-high 17 points, followed by Logan Crouse with 15 markers. Hannan dropped a 71-38 decision to Meadow Bridge Tuesday night in the second round of the WVHIT.

Our team didn’t give up, they fought back and came within one basket of being able to tie of go ahead right at the very end.

The River Valley committed 20 turnovers Wednesday night in a 64-42 Ohio Valley Conference loss to Coal Grove in Lawrence County. The Hornets (13-4, 5-3 OVC) took the early lead after out scoring RVHS (3-15, 1-7) 11-to-6 over the first eight minutes. The Raiders picked up the pace in the second quarter, as they scored 15 points. Coal Grove scored 17 in the second and led 28-to-21 at the half. CGHS expanded its lead by five points in the third period after a 20-to-15 run in the third quarter. River Valley was out scored 16-to-6 over the final eight minutes of regulation and Coal Grove claimed the 64-42 victory. River Valley was led by Tyler Twyman with 14 points and Ethan Dovenbarger with 12. Justin Rusk marked nine points, Seann Roberts added four and Joseph Loyd rounded out the RVHS scoring with three points. The Raiders shot 7-of-12 (58.3 percent) from the free throw line and 15-of-34 (44.1 percent) from the field, including 5-of-11 (45.4 percent) from three-point range. Conor Markins led the Hornets with 21 points, followed by Brandon Adkins with 14 and Alex Bare with 10. Austin Pleasants had nine points, Sean Paulus finished with six, while Isaiah Gunther and Joe Akers each finished with two. Coal Grove shot 12-of-17 (70.1 percent) and 25-of-54 (46.3 percent) from the field, including 2-of-9 (22.2 percent) from beyond the arc. The Hornets also defeated River Valley on January 4th in Bidwell, by a count of 53-36. www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 Wallace headed into HOF CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Rusty Wallace will headline the fourth class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame and his famed car “Midnight” will be part of his induction. Wallace, winner of 55 races and the 1989 Cup championship will be inducted Friday night along with champions Buck Baker and Herb Thomas; championship car owner Cotton Owens; and innovative crew chief, mechanic and engine builder Leonard Wood. Part of Wallace’s display in the Hall of Fame will be the car he dubbed Midnight and drove to 13 victories from 1992-94. Wallace led for more than 5,000 laps in the car, which was raced as both a Pontiac Grand Prix and a Ford Thunderbird out of Penske Racing South. “Back then, it was Dale Earnhardt and I racing for the win all the time,” Wallace said. “I remember every week when we got to the track, he’d come up and ask me, “What car you got? It’s not that darn Midnight is it?” If it was, he knew he had his work cut out for him.” Wallace drove Midnight in 38 races, notching 30 top-fives with the car. He led nearly one-third of all possible laps in the events he raced with the car, and Midnight’s 13 wins comprise nearly 20 percent of Penske Racing total. Midnight was restored last year by former Penske Racing fabricator Chuck Gafrarar and other team members, and the car will go into the Hall in raceready condition as a 1994 Ford Thunderbird featuring the noted black and gold Miller Genuine Draft paint scheme. “I’m really excited to have Midnight in the NASCAR Hall of Fame, that car was such a huge part of my career,” Wallace said. “Every time I sat in it, it just felt right; it fit like a glove. I’ll tell you what, if we had Midnight at the race track, everyone else there knew that they had a long day ahead of them — Midnight was just that good. The black and gold MGD paint scheme was the coolest one we ever had too. It just looked mean and the fans really loved it.” Wallace is a fan favorite heading into the Hall as part of a class with only one other living inductee, Wood, who enters a year after older brother Glenn’s induction. Owens died just weeks after he was voted into the hall last June at the age of 88. Entertainment Entertainment Known as the “King of the Modifieds” for more than 100 victories, Owens was part of the post-World War II racing scene around Spartanburg, S.C., and was close friends with NASCAR Hall of Famers Bud Moore and David Pearson, and 1960 NASCAR champion Rex White. He won nine of 160 races at NASCAR’s top level, and finished second in the 1959 championship to Hall of Famer Lee Petty. After transitioning to a car owner and engine builder, his cars won 38 races. Pearson was one of his drivers, hooking up with Owens after stopping by his garage in 1962. “Back then I’d have driven for nothing,” said Pearson. “I didn’t have a regular car. He asked if I’d like to run more races. It was the first factory ride I’d ever had. I knew I’d be in the best equipment.” Winless in their first season together, Pearson and Owens teamed to win eight races in 1964 and finish third in the standings. There were two more wins in 1965, and using a Dodge Dart station wagon dubbed the “Cotton Picker,” the duo won 15 races and the championship in 1966. “He was not like a boss, it was like working for a friend,” said Pearson. “We just had a great time working together.” Wood, part of the famed Wood Brothers No. 21 Ford team, is considered with his older brother to be a NASCAR pioneer. “He’s the most dedicated, talented all-around mechanic NASCAR has ever seen,” said nephew, Len, co-owner of the current Wood Brothers team. “He fit the term ‘chief mechanic.’ He could do anything with the car.” As crew chief of the No. 21 for 990 races, Wood’s drivers won 96 races. His cars won 117 poles and revolutionized the pit stop. Hired by the Ford Motor Co. to pit Jim Clark’s Lotus at the 1965 Indianapolis 500, the Woods spent 41.9 seconds on pit road servicing the car Clark drove to Victory Lane. They used a modified gas can that made the fuel flow faster. “We turned that thing on and it put in 58 gallons in 15 seconds,” said Wood. “It just sucked the fuel out of there. We knew we were going to be under 20 seconds on the pit stops. We got the most publicity in the least amount of time we ever got in our lives,” he added. “We hit a home run for sure.” �Friday, February 8, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, February 8, 2013 COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 8, 2013: This year you will alternate between being reclusive and being open and friendly with others.

The person spoke to The Associated Press Thursday on condition of anonymity because the agreement has not been completed. USA Today first reported the deal. Seattle would add $134.5 million of guaranteed money over five years to the contract of the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner, whose current agreement calls for him to receive $40.5 million over the next two seasons. Hernandez’s total dollars would top CC Sabathia’s original $161 million, seven-year contract with the New York Yankees and his $25 million average would surpass Zack Greinke’s $24.5 million under his new contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hernandez’s new money would average $26.9 million over five years, which would tie him for the second-highest average in baseball with Josh Hamilton and Ryan Howard behind Alex Rodriguez ($27.5 million). Hernandez agreed to a $78 million, five-year contract in January 2010 and has earned an additional $2.5 million in escalators and $300,000 in bonuses. He is due $20 million this year and $20.5 million in 2014, which would be superseded by the new deal. Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said he could not comment when reached on Thursday, and Hernandez’s representatives didn’t immediately return messages. If the deal is finalized, it would leave Detroit’s Justin Verlander and the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw as the most attractive pitchers eligible for free agency after the 2014 season. Tampa Bay’s David Price is eligible after the 2015 season. Hernandez has become the face of Seattle’s struggling franchise, transforming from a curly haired 19-year-old who wore his hat crooked to one of the most dominant and exciting pitchers in baseball. Known as “King Felix,” he became the first Seattle pitcher to throw a perfect game in a 1-0 win over Tampa Bay last August. His fiery enthusiasm on the mound and his willingness to first sign a long-term deal in 2010 have endeared him to fans in the Pacific Northwest who have gone more than a decade without seeing postseason baseball. Hernandez is 98-76 with a 3.22 ERA in eight seasons with the Mariners. He won a career-high 19 games in 2009 when he finished second in the Cy Young voting then won the award a year later when he went just 13-12 but had a 2.27 ERA and 232 strikeouts. His career record would be even better if he didn’t play with one of baseball’s worst offenses. Seattle had the lowest batting average in the major leagues in each of the last three seasons; Hernandez lost 21 times during that span when giving up two earned runs or fewer. SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) — One year from the Sochi Olympics, there’s no Lindsey Vonn or Bode Miller competing in the downhill at the world championships. They’re out of action with injuries — Vonn crashed and will need knee surgery, while Miller is recovering from surgery — but the U.S. Ski Team still has plenty of skiers capable of winning medals. Start with Julia Mancuso. She already won a bronze in super-G, could be a threat in Friday’s super-combined and seeks her first podium of the season in Sunday’s women’s downhill. Steven Nyman, from Sundance, Utah, grew up mowing Robert Redford’s lawn. He won the classic downhill in December in Val Gardena, Italy, after years of injuries and appears in top form for the men’s downhill Saturday. “It’s all about building confidence and this race here is the second biggest race we race,” Nyman said. “Especially being in Austria, there are going to be tons of fans and media. It’s a good warm-up for the Olympics.” Skiing is the top sport in Austria and some 50,000 fans are expected to descend on this small Alpine village for the men’s downhill Saturday. Nyman will be joined by team captain Marco Sullivan — who earned his first podium finish in four years this season — Olympic super-G bronze medalist Andrew Weibrecht and emerging talent Travis Ganong of Squaw Valley, Calif. Besides Mancuso, the women’s team will feature recent World Cup winner Alice McKennis, veteran Stacey Cook — who finished twice behind Vonn earlier this season — and Leanne Smith, who also had two podium results in downhill this season. The women’s team has been performing so well that Laurenne Ross, who posted a fifthplace result last month, likely won’t make the downhill squad, with only four spots available. “There’s definitely some confident skiers on our team right now and feeding off each other is a great environment to be in,” Smith said. “We’re all really excited for this weekend and the rest of the season.” Cook was the top American in Thursday’s second training session in eighth. “Everyone keeps saying this is a good downhill for me,” said Cook who, though the same age as Vonn and Mancuso at 28, has never won a top-tier race. “I’m a good glider and it’s pretty flat up top and it’s got a lot of gliding. “But then it has these tricky elements and one thing that’s hard on this course is to make and keep speed,” Cook added. “It’s really hard to gain (speed) anywhere. You have to be really perfect and that hasn’t been something I’ve been dominating this year in — perfection — I’ve been kind of wild.” Even if she doesn’t win a medal here, Cook still has a lot to look forward to the rest of the season. With Vonn out following her season-ending crash in super-G, Cook has a chance of winning the World Cup downhill title. So do McKennis and Smith. The current standings read: Vonn 340 points, Cook 211, Tina Maze 189, McKennis 180, Anna Fennninger 179 and Smith 167. Three more World Cup downhills remain this season. So it’s not like the team is about to slow down without Vonn. “Lindsey is a huge part of our team and we get a lot of our pace from her and a lot of knowledge and experience but we’re also pretty independent girls as well,” Cook said. “As much as we’re friends on the team we have that independent side, so we know how to take care of ourselves. We’ll miss her of course and we wish her the best in recovery, but we also want to go after the same thing she was here for.” Mancuso may have not made the downhill team if not for Vonn’s crash. “I’m part of the downhill team, thanks and no thanks to Lindsey,” said Mancuso, who was going to visit with Vonn on Thursday. After the downhills, the men’s super-combined is scheduled for Monday, with American Ted Ligety aiming for another medal to follow up his super-G victory. Without Miller, the Olympic champion in super-combi, the other U.S. starters likely will be junior world champion Ryan Cochran-Siegle of Starksboro, Vt., Tommy Biesemeyer of Keene, N.H., and Will Brandenburg of Spokane, Wash. Biesemeyer finished 13th and Cochran-Siegle was 15th in the super-G for their best career results to open their first championships. For Biesemeyer it marked a strong return from a nasty fall in December in Bormio, Italy, that left him with a torn groin muscle and bruised kidney. For Cochran-Siegle, it extended a family legacy. His mom, Barbara Ann Cochran, won Olympic gold in the slalom at the 1972 Winter Games and his cousin, Jimmy Cochran, used to be a member of the U.S. team. Biesemeyer had an early start number in the super-G and got to feel the big-race experience. “I’ve never started inside the top 30,” he said. “Usually when I come down people start to leave, so it was nice to come down with a crowd ready to bring on the winner. That was really cool. Being in front of over 30,000 people was an experience, and I hope there’s more days like that.” OVP Sports Briefs Ohio cruises to 69-42 victory over Ball State MUNCIE, Ind.

John Settle, who spent the past two seasons working with Chudzinski in Carolina, will coach Cleveland’s running backs. He takes over for Gary Brown, relieved after four seasons with the Browns. Settle coached the Panthers’ backs. In addition to Settle, the Browns hired Chris DiSanto (assistant strength and conditioning), Ken Flajole (inside linebackers), Steve Gera (special assistant to the head coach) and Derik Keyes (assistant strength and conditioning). Chudzinski, who was the Panthers offensive coordinator the last two years, said in a statement that the new coaches “are all outstanding teachers and leaders who will bring out the best in our players.” This is Settle’s second stint with the Browns. He served in several capacities in 1995 for Cleveland before the team moved to Baltimore. Mike Leake gets $3.06 million deal from Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds have agreed to a $3.06 million, one-year deal with right-hander Mike Leake, avoiding salary arbitration with their fifth starter. The deal on Wednesday leaves three Reds still facing arbitration: starters Mat Latos and Homer Bailey and outfielder Shin-Soo Choo. Leake made $507,500 last season, when he went 8-9 with a 4.58 ERA in 30 starts, a career high. He asked for $3.5 million in arbitration, and the club offered $2.65 million. He will compete with left-hander Aroldis Chapman for a spot in the rotation. He would make an additional $25,000 if he pitches 180 or more innings. Cincinnati’s three most expensive arbitration cases are pending. Choo is seeking $8 million, Bailey $5.8 million and Latos $4.7 million. The Reds have settled with outfielder Chris Heisey and reliever Alfredo Simon. Marshall hires ex-FIU assistant Alex Mirabal HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
