Arrest follows domestic dispute, school lockdown
Sheriff: Everyone now safe

MEIGS COUNTY — A
few tense hours lead to a
lot of rumors, speculation
and worry Wednesday
afternoon in portions of
Meigs County.
Soon after dismissal of

most Meigs Local students
on Wednesday afternoon,
deputies with the Meigs
County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the Middleport Police Department
of a domestic dispute from
a Rutland-area resident.
According to Meigs
County Sheriff Keith

Wood, information was received from Tonya Aeiker
of Rutland, reporting an
alleged domestic violence
incident in which her husband, Lester Aeiker, had
made threats to shoot her
and their children and then
take his own life.
Wood advises that it was
reported that Lester Aeiker also made statements

that if he couldn’t shoot
himself, he would point a
gun at law enforcement so
an officer would have to
shoot him.
Tonya Aeiker stated that
when her husband left for
work around 1 p.m., he
made a phone call to her
stating that “today is the
day” and that he wanted
her to pick up their chil-

dren from school and come
home so he could end it all
for all of them. She also advised that he had called his
step-father and told him
what he was going to do.
According to Wood,
Tonya Aeiker stated that
she attempted to contact
the schools about her
mother picking up the
kids so the kids would not

ride the bus home, but
she received a call from
her brother stating that
Lester Aeiker was located
at Tonya’s parents’ house
near Darwin in a green
Pontiac minivan and told
Tonya Aeiker’s father that
he better get there before
he (Lester) does or he

OPINION

Does Obama have the courage
to pursue peace with Iran?
Sheldon Richman
Settling the nuclear controversy with Iran peacefully will require courage
on President Obama’s part.
Does he have what it will
take to resist those who
prefer war?
While Obama has yet
to stake out a promising
unequivocal position, if he
does, the obstacles would
remain formidable. The
two biggest are the U.S.
Congress and the Israeli
government of Benjamin
Netanyahu.
Even as positive signs
emanated from Geneva,
where talks took place
last week, the war party
in Congress was pushing
new economic sanctions
against the long-suffering
Iranians, who have gone
without needed consumer
goods, including medicines, because the U.S.
government has cut Iran
off from the international
trading system.
Since Congress controls
the sanctions regime, it
ultimately has the power
to destroy the negotiations
between Iran and the socalled P5+1 nations. Flynt
Leverett and Hillary Mann
Leverett, two Iran experts
with experience on the
National Security Council, emphasize this potential obstruction to peace,
which Obama inflicted on
himself. “During Obama’s
presidency,” the Leveretts
write,
many U.S. sanctions that
started out as executive
order sanctions have been
written into law, with conditions for their removal
that go well beyond progress on the nuclear issue.
These conditions include
requirements that Tehran
cut its ties to groups like
Hizballah that the United
States foolishly designates
as terrorist organizations

and effectively transform
the Islamic Republic into a
secular liberal republic.
The implications are
ominous. Even if the Iranian government were to
agree to stop enriching
uranium beyond the low
level needed to produce
electricity, limit the number of centrifuges operated for enrichment, and
accept broadly intrusive
surprise inspections by
the International Atomic
Energy Commission — all
of which the Iranians may
be willing to accept — the
war party could refuse to
lift the sanctions on the
grounds that Iran had not
fulfilled these other extraneous and unreasonable
demands, which would
amount to regime change
and humiliating subordination to the United States
and Israel. (For a report on
what Iran may have offered
in Geneva, see this.)
The obstruction, however, is not all in Congress.
The Leveretts write that
Obama administration
officials and many pundits are arguing, in effect,

for peaceful purposes.
Moreover, Iran is an old
and large country that inevitably will play an influential role in the region.
Any sign that President
Hassan Rouhani would accept demands perceived
to subordinate Iran to the
United States and Israel
would only strengthen the
hardest of Iranian hardliners and destroy any chance
for a peaceful resolution of
the conflict.
That would apparently
suit the war party just fine.
It would also suit the Netanyahu government, the
war party’s close accomplice in the effort to scotch
the peace talks with Iran.
Just as things are beginning to look promising,
Netanyahu is stepping up
his war talk, deepening his
conflict with Obama.
Netanyahu has made it
clear that he favors decisive
military action against Iran
if its nuclear facilities are
not fully dismantled, but as
Israeli commentators point
out, a U.S. agreement with
Iran would make that impossible. So Netanyahu
has an incentive to undercut an agreement.
All this comes against
an incongruous background: U.S. and Israeli
intelligence says Iran has
no plans to build nuclear
weapons. (Its leadership
has issued a fatwa against
weapons of mass destruction.) Moreover, even if it
did build one, Iran would
be deterred from offensive
action by America’s and Israel’s overwhelming nuclear arsenals.
Obama must stand up
to Netanyahu and the war
party.

WAVERLY, Ohio — Getting even
and building some momentum all at
the same time.
The Ohio Valley Christian soccer
team completed its 2013 regular
season Tuesday night by evening
its overall record to .500 following a
6-0 victory over host Pike Christian
Academy in a non-conference match
in Pike County.
The Defenders (8-8-1) dominated
the match from the outset, as the
guests outshot the Lions by a whop-

ping 35-3 overall margin. OVCS led
5-0 at the intermission and had five
different players score a goal in the
triumph.
Danny Reed started the scoring
in the second minute after netting a
pass from T.G. Miller for an early 1-0
cushion, then Miller netted a pass
from Justin Beaver in the 12th minute for a 2-0 cushion.
Beaver joined in on the scoring in
the 26th minute after netting a pass
from Micah Sanders for a 3-nil edge,
followed by an unassisted goal from
Miller in the 38th minute for a 4-0
advantage.

Evan Bowman tacked on the final
first half goal in the 39th minute after netting a pass from Miller, giving
OVCS a sizable 5-0 lead at the break.
Eric Blevins tacked on the sixth and
final goal in the 71st minute after
netting a pass from Marshall Hood.
Hood made three saves in net for
the Defenders, who claimed a 4-1
overall edge in corner kicks.
Ohio Valley Christian returns to

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— Kasey Crow’s goal with
just under 4.5 minutes remaining in the first half
snapped a scoreless tie and
lifted the University of Rio
Grande to a 1-0 win over
West Virginia University
Tech, Tuesday night, in
non-conference women’s
soccer action at Coonskin
Park’s Schoenbaum Stadium.
The RedStorm improved
to 9-7 with the victory,

while the Golden Bears
lost for the 13th time in 17
outings.
“It was a content victory,” said Rio head coach
Callum
Morris.
“We
turned up, but it was cold.
We played some good football in spurts and we were
happy that we kept a clean
sheet again. I wouldn’t say
it was a comfortable win
because they had some
chances, but Allison (Keeney) made a nice save or
two. We were pleased.”
Crow, a sophomore forward from Chillicothe,

Ohio, scored off an assist
by freshman midfielder
Melissa Dickerson (Little
Hocking, OH) at the 40:39
mark of the opening period
for the game’s lone score.
The goal allowed Crow
to move into a tie with
Beth Hoffman for the
school’s all-time points lead
with 44. Hoffman tallied
18 goals and eight assists
from 2005-07, while Crow
now has 20 goals and four
assists in less than two full
seasons.
Rio Grande outshot its
host, 14-11, but Tech en-

joyed a 7-6 edge in shots
on goal.
Keeney, a junior goal
keeper from Cincinnati,
Ohio, recorded six saves
for the RedStorm, en route
to recording her seventh
shutout of the season.
Morgan Manning had
five saves in a losing cause
for the Golden Bears.
Rio Grande returns to
action on Saturday afternoon in its regular season
finale at the University of
the Cumberlands. Kickoff
is set for 1:30 p.m.

Browns bench Weeden; Campbell to start
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Jason
Campbell didn’t get passed over a
second time. He’s all Cleveland has
left.
Campbell is finally getting a
chance to start at quarterback for the
reeling Browns, who are turning to
the veteran to settle things down and
save a season that’s beginning to spin
out of control.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski
benched ineffective starter Brandon
Weeden and will go with Campbell
on Sunday against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Campbell is the third
QB to start for Cleveland already
this season and the 20th — the most

in the NFL — since 1999 for the
Browns, who have spent their entire
expansion era searching for an onfield leader.
Campbell started just one game
last season and knows he may have
some rust to knock off.
“Go get some 40-W, EW-40 or
something like that,” Campbell
joked, searching for the name of the
well-known lubricant. “I just want to
go have fun and play, and we’ll see
what happens.”
With Weeden coming off poor performances in losses to Detroit and
Green Bay, Chudzinski decided to
switch to Campbell, who was leap-

frogged earlier this season by Brian
Hoyer. When Weeden sprained his
right thumb in Week 2 against Baltimore, Chudzinski picked Hoyer,
who was No. 3 on Cleveland’s depth
chart, over Campbell to start against
Minnesota.
Hoyer led the Browns (3-4) to
wins over the Vikings and Cincinnati
Bengals before his season ended in
the first quarter Oct. 3 against Buffalo. But Weeden’s struggles, coupled
with a perceptible loss of faith by
Cleveland’s offensive players, left
Chudzinski with little choice but to
start Campbell.

Cool under pressure
Late field goals
are becoming a
sure thing in NFL
Barry Wilner

The Associated Press

Playing for the field goal used
to be a roll of the dice at the end
of NFL games. Now, it’s almost a
sure thing.
The numbers say kickers are
more dependable than ever, both
overall and when the outcome is
on the line. Consider this: Only
one field goal attempt for the lead
in the final two minutes of a game
or in overtime this season has
been missed, by Houston’s Randy
Bullock from 46 yards on Sept. 15.
The Texans still won the game, in
overtime against Tennessee.
On Sunday, four games were
won with late field goals: Nick
Folk of the Jets from 42 yards to
beat the Patriots in overtime; Cincinnati’s Mike Nugent from 54 to
beat Detroit; Buffalo’s Dan Carpenter from 31 to beat his former
team, Miami; and Pittsburgh’s
Shaun Suisham from 42 to knock
off archrival Baltimore.
Everyone loves the last-ditch
touchdowns such as Tom Brady’s
connection with Kenbrell Thompkins against New Orleans the
previous week. But more and
more, coaches are looking to their
soccer-style booters to provide the
decisive points.
And the kickers are coming
through.
“I like the situation,’” said Folk,
whose work proves it — he has
clinched three of New York’s four
victories with late field goals. “I
don’t find it intimidating, and I
just face the pressure.”
Folk and the Jets are at Cincinnati next Sunday, where the Bengals have their own strong-willed
kicker in former Jet Mike Nugent.
Against the Bills on Oct. 13, he
nailed a 43-yarder for a 27-24 win.
Then he beat the Lions by the
same score with the 54-yarder, the
longest winning kick in the fourth
quarter for a team that didn’t relinquish the lead through seven
weeks, according to STATS.
Earlier in the final period, Nugent had missed from 47 yards.
But he knew coach Marvin Lewis
would have faith in him if the situation arose later on.
“You kind of think about it both
ways. I sit there thinking if I’d
made that earlier kick, how different would the game be at the
end of the day,” Nugent said. “You
think about that after the game but
not so much during, because if you

make a big deal of that during the
game, it’s going to drive you crazy
and maybe not get the better result.”
Carpenter’s might be the most
inspiring performance. After five
years with the Dolphins, the former Montana Grizzly was released
and wound up in Buffalo. On Sunday, he connected for a little payback.
Coach Doug Marrone was certain he could rely on Carpenter,
and not just because of the kicker’s
familiarity with the stadium. He
knew Carpenter wouldn’t tighten
up in a pressurized situation.
“I think for maybe with a young
kicker that could be (an issue) but
not with a guy like him,” Marrone
said. “He’s fine. Nothing’s really
going to rattle him too much. …
I think Dan is well-respected. He
had a great career here. I don’t
think anyone needs any extra
motivation in this league to come
back and kind of say, ‘Hey, I told
you so.’ Dan’s a professional.”
Kickers have become such a
reliable commodity that their
86.7 percent success rate thus far
would be an all-time high. Keep in
mind, though, that the percentage
was higher at this time a year ago,
87.7, and tailed off to 83.9 as the
weather got worse and footballs

became harder to kick for distance
or accuracy.
So far in 2013, four kickers are
perfect on field goals: Folk, Suisham, St. Louis’ Greg Zuerlein and
Denver’s Matt Prater. Folk has the
most, 16.
That’s not a significantly higher
number than in other seasons,
and only two kickers have gone
through an entire schedule without a miss, Minnesota’s Gary Anderson in 1998 (35 for 35), and
Indianapolis’ Mike Vanderjagt in
2003 (37 for 37). Neither got to
the Super Bowl in those years.
With coaches so confident in
their kickers, they are willing to
“settle” for the 40-plus field goals
late in games, especially when
their offense can run down the
clock and not allow the opponent
any time to respond.
“We have ‘Folk Hero’ and we
thought he could pop one on
them,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said.
“At the end of the day, we believe
in our guy. He’s a great kicker.”
And what instructions do these
kickers need?
“I just thought, ‘Kick it through
those yellow things,’” Carpenter
said.
Seems nearly ever kicker is doing it to win games this year.

Many shocked Penn
State has bounced
back from trauma
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— What’s brewing with the
2013 Ohio State Buckeyes
…
BUCKEYES BUZZ: No
one has ever had to do a
job like Bill O’Brien’s.
The Penn State coach
only had to take over for
the winningest major-college coach, and do it under
duress in perhaps the ugliest scandal to ever stain
college football.
Yet the Nittany Lions
— despite all the bad ink,
the difficult recruiting, the
bowl ban, the scholarship
limitations and a $60 million fine to the NCAA —
have persevered. O’Brien
is 12-6 as head coach since
taking over the program.
It’s hard to imagine now
that there was a lot of
criticism over the hiring of
O’Brien, an NFL assistant
coach with little or no ties
to the university.
Ohio State’s Urban Meyer was asked what it must
have been like for O’Brien.
“I hate to do that because
I wasn’t there. And I don’t
want to speculate,” Meyer
said. “I would say I’ve had
some dealings with coach
O’Brien over the last year
and a half. I think he’s a
first-class guy. He represents a great school. I do
know a lot about Penn
State and it doesn’t surprise me that Penn State is
doing well.”
Some experts said Penn
State wouldn’t win a game,
not just the first year after
Joe Paterno’s death and the
Jerry Sandusky scandal,
but for years to come because of the trauma inflicted on the school, its alumni
and students.
“A lot of people are
surprised,” Meyer said
of the Nittany Lions’ success the past 18 months
under O’Brien. “I’m not
surprised. They’ve got a
quality coach and it’s a
very quality school. And it
has overcome a lot of adversity.”
HEISMAN
HOUSE:
Since Saturday’s game
doesn’t start until 8 p.m.,
fans can put off going to
the Varsity Club and head
over to the parking lot of
St. John Arena to immerse
themselves in Heisman
Trophy history.
Former Ohio State great

Archie Griffin, the only
two-time Heisman winner,
will appear from 2:30 p.m.
to 4 p.m. at the Heisman
House Tour.
He’ll do an interview
with ESPN anchor Neil
Everett at 2:30 p.m., then
will sign autographs for an
hour.
Fans also can take pictures with the Heisman.
Craig Krenzel, QB of the
2002 national championship Buckeyes, also will be
on hand.
QUICK STUDY: One
of the top players on Ohio
State’s defense these days
is also one of the newest.
Joey Bosa, a prized recruit out of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Thomas Aquinas HS, has locked down
one of the DE spots for the
Buckeyes.
The 6-foot-6, 275-pounder had his biggest game
with two sacks at Northwestern. In Saturday’s 3424 win over Iowa, he had
two assists.
Learning on the job apparently suits him.
“He’s physically more
advanced from where a
lot of kids coming out of
high school would be the
first year,” DL coach Mike
Vrabel said. “His core
strength, his balance —
those type of things stand
out to me. And he’s going
to continue to work. He’s
going to continue to work
his technique, but physically he’s able to play at this
level because of his natural
strength, his natural core
strength, and he’s got great
balance.”
Meyer this week said
his preference would be to
never start a true freshman
QB.
But he said it’s a different situation at other, nonskilled positions.
“Joey Bosa — I don’t
want to say that’s unparalleled, that’s probably too
drastic, but it’s very uncommon to have a true
freshman come in and start
on the defensive line,”
Meyer said. “I don’t know
if I’ve ever really seen that
unless it’s just pure need.
But he did it because he’s
playing very well and became a starter there.”

WVU needs road win to keep bowl hopes going
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — West Virginia
must figure out a way to
win on the road to have a
shot at keeping a decadelong streak of bowl appearances intact.
The Mountaineers (34, 1-3 Big 12) need three

more wins to become bowl
eligible. And although the
schedule gets considerably
easier, the venues will not.
The Mountaineers play
three of their final five
games on the road.
West Virginia is winless
on the road this season and

that’s where it will play the
next two games, starting
Saturday at Kansas State
(2-4, 0-3).
“We have to stay positive, look forward, and realize that this season is not
over yet,” said West Virginia linebacker Isaiah Bruce.

season as coach.
Dana Holgorsen was
hired in 2010 with the goal
of competing for a national
championship. Right now
the third-year head coach
is trying to avoid heading
into the Big 12’s basement.
Holgorsen insists the
focus isn’t on the season’s
end product but on Saturday’s opponent.
“It’s Kansas State right
now,” Holgorsen said. “A
bowl game is important
but a fourth win is a little
more important at this
point. We haven’t got to
the point where I feel like
we need to talk about motivation to win.
“I think the motivation
to win is there. If you’re
not able to execute things
then you’re not going to
win. So we’re continuing
to focus on being able to
execute better. Obviously
going to a bowl game is
one of our goals that we
have as a program and obviously we want to meet
that goal.”
Last week, West Virginia
led No. 10 Texas Tech by
11 points in the second
half, but lost 37-27.
At least Holgorsen has
settled on Clint Trickett at
quarterback and he’ll get
his fourth straight start.
Until this week, Holgorsen
had not named a starter
before the Thursday of
game week due to injuries
or lackluster play.
Returning punts and
kickoffs has been messy at
times, and the defense has
allowed at least 37 points
in three of the last four
games. Texas Tech scored
21 unanswered points after trailing 27-16.

“We’ve shown where we
can play at a high level.
We’ve also shown that
we can play at a very low
level,” Holgorsen said. “So
we need consistency on defense, we need to continue
to improve offensively and
get into a rhythm. And
then we need to continue
to glue it all together with
special teams and get better at what we’re asking
them to do, which will lead
to a victory.”
More and more, Holgorsen and his assistant
coaches are being asked
about the team’s mood,
usually following a loss.
“It was a tough loss,”
said defensive coordinator
Keith Patterson. “But that’s
the nature of college football. You have to hit that
restart button, and it is our
job as coaches to motivate
and inspire them.”
For Trickett, the son of
Florida State offensive line
coach Rick Trickett, that
motivation may come in
the form of Kansas State
coach Bill Snyder.
“I have always looked up
to coach Snyder, because
he doesn’t have the best
situation at Kansas State
in regards to recruiting,
but he continues to win,”
Trickett said. “As a coach’s
kid, I have had so much
respect for him. I have
throughout my life. I was
actually a fan of Kansas
State when I was younger.
I am excited to play against
a legend in coach Snyder,
he really is. The stadium
is already named after
him, and he is still there,
so he is everything to that
school, and I am excited to
play against him.”

As Stern preps exit, NBA Finals format changed
NEW YORK (AP) — Beginning with the 2014 NBA Finals,
the higher-seeded team will host
Games 1, 2, 5 and 7. The lower
seed gets Games 3, 4 and 6, following the same format the NBA
uses in all other rounds.
The change comes about as
NBA owners unanimously voted
Wednesday to scrap a format for
the championship round that

featured three home consecutive
games for the lower-seeded team
in the middle of the series.
Referred to as the 2-3-2 scenario, the higher seed opened with
two home games, then played
three straight on the road, before closing with two more home
games.
It was conducive to travel, especially when teams had to span

several time zones, and was a favorite of outgoing commissioner
David Stern.
In the new format, though
there will be more travel inconveniences, the higher seed will
host the first two games, before
hitting the road for two games.
At that point — Game 5 —
the teams will alternate home
games, ending with a potential

Game 7 on the higher-seeded
team’s floor. This format, used
in the other playoff rounds, is
known as the 2-2-1-1-1.
The 2-3-2 was instituted
in 1985, Stern’s first full year
in charge, in part to ease the
amount of cross-country travel
with the Celtics and Lakers frequently meeting for the championship. But critics felt it gave an

edge to the lower-seeded team.
“There certainly was a perception … it was unfair to the team
that had the better record, that
it was then playing the pivotal
Game 5 on the road. So this obviously moves that game back to
giving home-court advantage to
the team with the better record
if it’s a 2-2 series,” Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said.

Smash-mouth football a dying art in pass-happy NFL
Howard Fendrich
The Associated Press

On Peyton Manning’s first drive of his
first game as a visiting player in Indianapolis, the Denver Broncos faced third down
and 1 yard to go. Manning handed the
football to Knowshon Moreno, who was
stopped short. Denver punted.
On Manning’s third drive, again he
faced third-and-1, again he gave the ball to
Moreno, and again the play was stuffed.
Again, Denver punted.
“Hit a little rut there,” Manning said
hours later, after the Colts gave his Broncos their first loss of the season.
Other NFL offenses failed on similar
plays Sunday, and it happens week after
week: In the most critical of short-yardage
situations, teams are converting at the
lowest rate since at least 1995. The days
of smash-mouth football, of bruising backs
pushing piles forward with the help of
run-blocking offensive linemen, are gone.

In all of those situations — third-and2-or-less, fourth-and-2-or-less, including
goal-to-go — NFL teams were successful
58.5 percent of the time through games
of Oct. 14, according to STATS. That is a
lower rate on such plays than for any full
season since 1995 (that’s how far STATS
data goes back).
The rate in 1995 was 65.1 percent. In
2008, it was 63.7, and has been declining
steadily since.
“My only answer,” Steelers defensive
coordinator Dick LeBeau said, “would be
they don’t quite run as much as they used
to.”
That, of course, is true. Games this
season are averaging 53.2 running attempts, the fewest in the Super Bowl era,
and 213.7 yards rushing, the third-fewest.
Passing, meanwhile, is on pace for records
of 72.3 throws and 489.2 net yards passing per game.
In 1987, for example, offenses were far
more balanced, with 62.8 runs and 64.2
passes per game.
“We’re more of a throwing league. …

Whatever you do more, you’re likely to get
a little better at,” LeBeau said.
Plus, he noted, “It’s easier to throw the
ball over somebody’s head for 40 yards
than it is to pound down the field 3 at a
time.”
Dan Reeves, who coached in four Super
Bowls, pointed out various rules changes
that promoted passing, from restrictions
on defensive backs to reductions on practicing in pads.
“Blocking and tackling are fundamentals you can’t teach without pads,” Reeves
said, “but one of the things you can do is
work on timing in the passing game.”
In short-yardage situations, teams pass
more than they used to: This season, the
breakdown is about 55 percent runs, 45
percent passes on third- or fourth-andshort. Back in 1995, it was 63 percent
runs, 37 percent passes, STATS said.
In 1995, the success rates on those runs
was 71 percent. It dropped a bit below 66
percent the past two seasons, meaning
teams are failing about one out of every
three tries.

ting a key yard — or even inches — on
the ground.
“The concept of running the football,”
former NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer
said, “has kind of taken a back seat.”
One of his 1980s Browns teams had
two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season. One of his 1990s Chiefs clubs led the
league in yards rushing. His tenure with
the Chargers in the early 2000s featured
LaDainian Tomlinson.
Times have changed.
“People have decided that the best,
most efficient, way to go about it is to go
ahead and spread the field out and try to
get the quarterback a chance to do a presnap read,” Schottenheimer said. “And essentially, the play is called after the quarterback has stood there and looked at the
defense and its deployment and figured
out where to throw.”
Increasingly, teams can’t gain what they
want on the ground on third or fourth
down with 2 or fewer yards needed for a
first down or a touchdown. And increasingly, they’re passing on those plays.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Oct. 24, 2013:
This year you often find yourself
involved with cause-minded friends.
One friend in particular could be
unusually difficult and/or angry. How
you deal with this situation is your call.
You might want to put yourself in this
person’s shoes. If you are single, be
open to meeting someone who is very
different from you. You could meet
this person through a friend. If you
are attached, the two of you learn to
respect your differences and use them
to empower your relationship. Plan a
special trip together. CANCER helps
you see a different vision of possibilities.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You feel unusually tuned
in to a family member. You have a lot
going on and easily could get angry out
of the blue. Pressure builds in a oneon-one discussion with this person.
You might decide to let go of this situation for now. Tonight: Mosey on home,
if you’re not there already.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You become quite the
conversationalist, though you might get
upset at someone’s anger that appears
to be directed at you. Your imagination could go wild as you try to figure
out what is wrong with this person.
Tonight: Return calls, and catch up on
a close friend’s news.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You could be quite intense
as you seek immediate results. Your
creativity flourishes when dealing with
a hassle or someone’s frustration. A
partner could be changing in front of
your eyes. The unexpected comes out
one more time in a meeting. Tonight:
Go with the flow.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You beam in what you want,
but you might be so much in your head
that you could be accident-prone. A
close associate really demonstrates
how much he or she has changed. You
could get into a heated conversation if
you are not careful. Tonight: Visit and
chat with a friend.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Know what is happening
behind the scenes. Understand what
is going on with a loved one. Listen to
your inner voice, and follow through on
your decision. Pace yourself and stay
levelheaded. If one approach is not
working, try a different one. Tonight:
Only what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Zero in on what you want.
A partner could be unusually vague,
and he or she might confuse you. You
also might not want to hear what this
person has to say. Be careful if you are
in an irritable mood. A fight might take
some time to heal. Tonight: Where
your friends are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
A sense of irritation could be
undermining your best intentions and
come out when you would prefer it
wouldn’t. Pressure builds to an unprecedented level. A domestic matter could
be difficult to sort out. Know that a control issue might be the cause. Tonight:
A must appearance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your likeminded friends
know what they want from a situation.
Trying to change their minds would be
like entering a war zone. The smart
move is to back out and say little. A
disagreement begun right now will be
difficult to put to rest. Tonight: Gain a
new perspective.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You could be seeing a
situation differently than in the past.
A friend presents a new side of his or
her personality. This person has been
going through changes, but perhaps
you didn’t realize that the transformation had evolved to this point. Tonight:
Go along with a suggestion.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Defer to others, and know
full well that you might not agree with
them. It is important for a close associate to see the end results of pursuing
the present course. Your anger breaks
out when dealing with someone at a
distance. Tonight: Listen to an outside
perspective.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Pace yourself. Your money
sense plays out, but you must handle
your own finances, as others could
be accident-prone. A loved one or an
associate could be on the warpath in
an attempt to upset you. For now, try
not to react. Tonight: Make plans for
the weekend.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your creativity might not
be able to soothe someone’s nerves.
In fact, it might just make a situation
worse. Be sensitive to what someone
says, but know that you don’t have to
take on his or her comments. Refuse
to respond to anger. Tonight: You
choose the time and place.

Four Turns

Tracks on Tap

SEVEN Jamie McMurray’s
1 LUCKY
win in the Camping World RV Sales

SPRINT CUP SERIES

Race: Goody’s Headache Relief Shot 500
Track: Martinsville Speedway
Location: Martinsville, Va.
When: Sunday, Oct. 27
TV: ESPN (1:30 p.m. EST)
Layout: .526-mile oval
Banking/Turns: 12 degrees
2012 Winner: Jimmie Johnson
Crew Chief’s Take: “I love Martinsville. It
doesn’t get any more old-school racing
than this on the Cup level. As a crew chief,
it’s really cool to set the car up for that
track, because it’s flat. It has long, asphalt
straights where forward bite is key for
passing and tight, concrete corners that
are hell on brakes. Drivers that aren’t aggressive or don’t like being physical usually don’t do well here. Of course, Clint
Bowyer proved last year that you can’t be
too aggressive. Curbs, heavy braking,
beating and banging, three-wide, twowide ... the place is just exciting!”

500 at Talladega was his seventh
career NASCAR Sprint Cup victory. In
his 12th season on circuit (11 full
years), McMurray has notched four
wins on the plate tracks (Talladega
and Daytona). His other three victories have come at Charlotte (two
wins) and Indianapolis.

TWO-FER For only the
2 AthirdNOTABLE
time ever, and first since
2006, non-Chase drivers — Brad
Keselowski at Charlotte and Jamie
McMurray at Talladega — have
won two straight Chase races. In
’06, Tony Stewart won at Atlanta
and Texas while on the outside of
the playoffs looking in.

THE SUB Michael Waltrip
3 SADLER
Racing has announced that Elliott
Sadler will drive its No. 55 Toyota
in place of Brian Vickers as he receives anti-coagulation medications to treat a small blood clot in
his right leg. Vickers will be unavailable for the final four Cup Series races. Doctors have told
Vickers he will be on the medication at least two months.

survived a wreck-strewn final lap

at Talladega in the Camping World
Truck Series’ Fred’s 250 on Saturday to record his third win of the
season. Two accidents in the trioval on the final lap swept up over
a dozen trucks. Sauter, the leader
when the incidents began, was just
ahead of the mayhem. It was
Sauter’s first win at Talladega and
second career plate triumph after
winning at Daytona in February.

No. 1 at Talladega
McMurray scores the win, Chase lead changes hands

By MATT TALIAFERRO
Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Sometimes at the roulette wheel
known as Talladega Superspeedway, it doesn’t take metal-grinding
20-car pileup to change the complexion of the NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series’ point standings.
Often viewed as the Chase’s one
great “wild card” stop in its 10race odyssey due to the pack racing style of competition, Talladega
rightly lends itself to a level of unpredictability not seen elsewhere.
However, the stats show that a
shakeup atop the Chase standings
after Talladega’s fall event has
been rare. In fact, the last time the
lead changed hands was in 2007,
when Jeff Gordon temporarily
swiped the point from teammate
Jimmie Johnson.
On Sunday, that five-year run
came to an end — though without
the wreckage-strewn drama that
often concludes a 500-mile event
at the Alabama behemoth.
Johnson wrested the points lead
from Matt Kenseth in the Camping World RV Sales 500 at the
2.66-mile tri-oval, finishing 13th
to Kenseth’s 20th, and snagged a
bonus point by virtue of leading
the most laps. It was an eight-point
swing at the top, as non-Chaser
Jamie McMurray held off fan-favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. to score
his first win in over three years.
A two-car crash on the race’s
final lap brought out the event’s
third and final caution, which
froze the field and awarded the
win to McMurray. In retrospect, it
was a tame finish by Talladega
standards, as the field largely flew

in single-file formation over the
final 10 laps. It seemed the risk/reward quotient found drivers content to settle for a “safe” finish. Or
at the very least, hesitant to be the
first to jump out of line to make a
mad dash; the consequences of a
failed run potentially being the difference between a top-10 finish
and a 25th-place disappointment.
“I knew that I had everything to
lose and really one spot to gain by
going early, and if I waited until
the last lap I could possibly fend
off a failed run and get a relatively
decent finish,” runner-up Earnhardt said.
“I guess pulling out early and
that not working and finishing
25th was worse than trying to take
the chance. Waiting and being patient I thought would pay off.
Every race we have here we all
wreck on the last lap, and it’s fortunate that that wreck wasn’t any
worse than what we typically see
here. But for some reason it was a
lot calmer the last few laps.
Everybody was pretty good about
staying in line.”
All the while, McMurray, who
owns four restrictor plate victories
in the Cup Series, was doing his
best to throw the competition off
his trail.
“I ran the last 20 laps, never
looked at the windshield,” the racewinner said. “I looked out the rear
view mirror the whole time. The
one thing I noticed early in the race
was when they would get single
file and everybody would run
against the wall the guys on the
bottom could make up a lot of
ground because it’s such a shorter
distance around the bottom.
“So when I got to the lead I was

Series schedule on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Only
a few minor changes are on the docket,
with date-swaps between tracks being the highlights.
Texas Motor Speedway will hold its event one week earlier and move from Saturday to Sunday (April 6). Darlington Raceway and Kansas Speedway will switch dates,
with the former moving from Mother’s Day weekend to
April 12. In turn, Kansas will hold its first Cup Series Saturday night race, with its event shifting to May 10. Martinsville Speedway will host the series on March 30, a
week earlier than in 2013.
Rumors continue to swirl that, with a television deal in
place for 2015 with FOX and NBC, a schedule overhaul
could be in store.
NASCAR Senior Vice President of Racing Operations Steve
O’Donnell addressed that in a news conference, saying,
“I think we’re certainly going to take a look at it. I think
the timing with the new TV partners makes sense. One
thing to keep in mind, though, is with each of the tracks,
if we constantly are shifting dates, it becomes more and
more of a challenge for each track. Our fans like some of
the familiarity. We want to balance that. I think we’ll do
that for 2015, but it’s certainly something to look at as

trying to enter a little bit lower so
we weren’t using so much racetrack so that if everyone behind
me would follow, maybe the bottom line wouldn’t develop and
move up as fast.
“That being said, every time I
entered lower, I would get away
from (Earnhardt), and I feel like he
was getting more of a run on me
off the corner. As those laps
counted down I was kind of trying
to do something different each lap
so that he couldn’t prepare for it.”
Meanwhile, Kenseth was waiting
in vain for something to happen.
“Nobody wanted to go,”
Kenseth said of the final laps.
“Everybody wanted to stay in their
spots. I should have been smarter
there and I guess I paid attention
to points, but I’m not really wired
like that. I want to go up and mix
it up and try to win the thing.”
For Johnson, riding out the finish was the safe play.
“Obviously, I was paying attention to where the No. 20 (Kenseth)
was,” the five-time champion said.
“I was (paying attention to) the
No. 29 (Kevin Harvick), the No.
24 (Jeff Gordon) and was in and
around and ahead of most of those
guys. Thirteenth isn’t the best finish, but with what we are trying to
do and win a championship, we
beat the competition today, and
that’s good.”
Good enough to snare the points
lead in what has been a dogged
fight. And with Martinsville
Speedway on tap — a track where
Johnson has dominated to the tune
of eight career victories and
Kenseth is winless — Talladega
could once again prove to be a
game-changer.

we head into that year for sure.”

Classic Moments
Martinsville Speedway
One of the charter members of the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, the
.526-mile Martinsville Speedway has produced its share of exciting races over the
last six-plus decades.
None fits that description much better
than the Goody’s Cool Orange 500 in the
spring of 2007. With the cars of Jimmie
Johnson and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon seemingly glued together
at the front of the field in the closing laps,
Gordon tried everything within his power —
short of outright wrecking his teammate —
to sweep past and seize the victory.
Johnson stood his ground, however, and
held on for the win in a race that marked
the second appearance for the then-new
Car of Tomorrow. That race served as a microcosm for the rest of the season, one in
which Johnson would win the championship over Gordon, with no one else particularly close.
It took a run of four consecutive wins by
Johnson in Chase races six through nine to
earn his second straight title — and those
wins came on the heels of back-to-back triumphs by Gordon.

Athlon Fantasy Stall
Looking at Checkers: This is one of
championship leader Jimmie Johnson’s
best tracks, with eight wins and an amazing 5.3-place average finish in 23 starts.
Pretty Solid Pick: If Jeff Gordon has a win
in him, this would be the logical place, as
he has seven Martinsville victories and a
7.0-place average showing in 41 starts.
Good Sleeper Pick: Although he owns
zero Martinsville wins, Dale Earnhardt Jr.
has finished in the top 10 in over half of
his 27 Cup starts at the track.
Runs on Seven Cylinders: Greg Biffle’s
four top 10s (zero top 5s) in 21 Cup races
here do not bode well for his chances on
Sunday.
Insider Tip: Don’t get cute. Stick with
the Martinsville heavy hitters in Johnson, Gordon and Denny Hamlin, who
have totaled 19 wins in the Commonwealth.

“We have an expectation of all RPM employees to conduct themselves at the highest level of professionalism
and within the competitive confines as set forth by
NASCAR,” said Johns. “We are very disappointed that one
of our employees did not meet our expectations and we
completely support NASCAR, their policies and final decisions when it comes to the substance abuse policy.”
Parrott, a 19-year Cup veteran who led Dale Jarrett to the
1999 Winston Cup championship, has submitted his application for NASCAR’s Road to Recovery program. He is
the first Cup Series crew chief to be suspended by the
sport for failing a drug test.
