Hayes, 79 Homer Preece 50 cents daily THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 71 Arguments heard in Rizer appeal Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — More than three years have passed since the shooting death of Kenneth Rizer, Sr. at his home on Lovett Road in Portland. Rizer’s wife, Paula, was charged with aggravated murder in the death and was convicted of murder during her second jury trial in January 2010. Paula Rizer was acquitted on the aggravated murder charge in late 2009, with the jury deadlocked on the murder charge (11- 1 in favor of guilt). On Wednesday, Rizer once again appeared in Meigs County Common Pleas Court, this time appealing her conviction. The appeal — her second — is based on ineffective counsel and the failure to object to a violation of the defendant’s fifth amendment right against self incrimination. During Wednesday’s hearing, the defense called witnesses to speak on the lack of objection to statements made by Dr. Robert Stinson. Rizer was represented by Diane Menashe for the hearing, while special prosecutor (former Meigs County Assistant Prosecutor) Matthew Donohue and assistant prosecutor Amanda Bizub-Franzmann represented the state. The defense argued that testimony by Stinson painted Rizer as a liar, pointing out her inconsistent statements. Stinson had been called as a rebuttal witness by the state after Dr. Carla Fisher had testified for the defense. Rizer’s former defense attorney Herman Carson — who represented Rizer in both her first and second trial — testified that following an Ohio Supreme Court ruling in the case State vs. Goff, that he would have objected to statements made by Stinson in the second trail. While Carson did object to portions of Stinson’s testimony, none of the objections concerned the possible fifth amendment violation alleged in the appeal. Carson had previously filed an affidavit stating that he was ineffective in failing to object to “faulty self-defense instructions” and failing to object to testimony of Stinson regarding statements made to him by the defendant. Rizer’s former attorney Glenn Jones also filed a similar affidavit according to court records. Judge Dale Crawford asked that closing statements in the case be done by briefs to be filed by the attorneys. Menashe was given until May 18 to file the closing brief for the defense, with Donohue given three weeks following that date to file the state’s closing brief. Menashe will then be given two additional weeks to respond. Rizer’s second appeal also focuses on counsel’s ineffectiveness with regard to failing to object to “faulty self-defense instructions.” No evidence was presented on this portion of the appeal, but may be argued in the brief to be filed as part of the closing by the attorneys. A summary judgement in the appeal had previously been denied by Crawford, See RIZER ‌| 3 Sheriff reports arrest, theft investigations Staff Report cupants have been obtained, but are not being released at this time.

A hold up alarm was reported to the Point Pleasant Police Department (PPPD) at around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday morning at the Point Cafe #2 at 312 Main St. — the business has both a Main St. and Viand St. entrance. PPPD Patrolman D.M. Taylor and Lt. M.S. Taylor arrived at the scene to find a female who was visibly upset and crying, stating all of the patrons had just been robbed and their hands bound with duct tape. Witnesses report the two suspects were black males with one ranging from 6’ to 6’3” in height, while the other was shorter and had a lighter complexion. The robbery was caught on video surveillance released by the West Virginia Lottery Commission. In the video, the male who has a lighter complexion is wearing a mask up to his eyes though what appears to be a visible birth mark, mole See TAPED ‌| 3 Beth Sergent/photo The Point Cafe #2 at 312 Main Street and its patrons were robbed Sunday morning by two suspects who reportedly left in a black SUV headed across the Bartow Jones Bridge.

Former WHS choir teacher arrested Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com MASON — The former choir teacher at Wahama High School has been arrested for allegedly using choir booster funds for personal use. Crystal M. Hendricks, 43, Mason has been charged with one felony count of fraudulent schemes after an investigation by the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police. Hendricks turned herself in on Wednesday and appeared before Mason County Magistrate Gail Roush who set her bond at $20,000. Hendricks posted this surety bond and was later released. Cpl. K.M. Gilley led the investigation which alleges Hendricks took money from the Wahama Choir Boosters’ Farmers Bank account for personal use between Jan. 11, Crystal Hendricks 2008, and Nov. 14, 2011. The criminal complaint alleges Hendricks used the boosters’ account in this manner on at least 14 occasions totaling $2,862.85, which included a $29 overdraft fee. The complaint said information collected from the Mason County Board of Education was also used in the investigation. Hendricks is no longer an employee with Mason County Schools. �Thursday, April 19, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio Valley Forecast Meigs County Community Calendar Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 77.

(AP) — Two years of testing have found a critical defect in a certain model of emergency breathing devices used in U.S. coal mines, but federal regulators have no immediate plans to remove the more than 70,000 air packs that could remain in use. The SR-100 self-contained self-rescuers are belt-worn air packs about the size of three cake-mix boxes. They hold chemicals that help recycle exhaled breath, giving miners about an hour of oxygen and, hypothetically, time to seek refuge or escape from a fire or explosion. The local newspaper says the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health issued a report this week concluding the model manufactured by CSE Corp. of Monroeville, Pa., failed too many tests and therefore has a critical flaw. NIOSH says five out of 500 randomly sampled SR100 units had oxygen starters that failed. Under federal rules, no more than three in 500 can fail for NIOSH to remain confident. The failure rate, the report said, means the units “no longer conform to the minimum requirements for the certification.” CSE “could not identify a systemic cause or otherwise confine the failure to within certain lots,” the report said. “Therefore, the failure could exist among all fielddeployed units.” CSE President Scott Shearer said Wednesday the company voluntarily stopped production of the SR-100 when internal quality-control teams identified problems. It has since redesigned the starter system and replaced the device with the SRLD model. “We changed out the guts of the unit,” Shearer said, “and made further improvements to internal and external parts so the engine is beefed up.” The new model holds more chemicals, he said, and provides more oxygen at a faster rate. NIOSH said it’s discussing the problem of the old air packs with the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which didn’t immediately comment. In 2010, CSE said it had recalled about 4,000 suspect units but later acknowledged it hadn’t ordered coal companies to stop using them. Shearer reiterated his commitment to working with the federal agencies but said he’s had no directives from either so far. Ask Dr. Brothers Makeup for kids has mom worried Dr. Joyce Brothers Dear Dr. Brothers: My childhood included playing dress-up and putting on my mother’s lipstick, and my 8-year-old enjoys that too. But now she is coming home from school saying her friends are wearing lip gloss, and she wants to go shopping for cosmetics. I am not ready for this! I have talked to the other moms, and they say it is harmless, but I disagree. I don’t let my child wear the “sexy” clothes she sees on television — that’s been a battle. Now this. Help! — A.T. Dear A.T.: It sounds as though your child has presented you with the double whammy of modern culture sexualizing children and peer pressure. And on top of that, you find yourself alone among a group of moms who think an early end to innocent childhood is the best thing ever. What’s a mom to do? You may be unpopular for a while, especially with your daughter, but this is a good time to stick to your guns and focus on keeping your daughter’s values developing in a positive di- setting up today’s hearing. Rizer was sentenced on January 20, 2010, to serve at least 18 years in prison. Rizer was given a three-year Taped From Page 1 or tattoo rests below his left eye as he points a gun at the patrons. In addition to robbing the patrons, the two men made off with money from the establishment and exited by using the Main St. door. A patron told officers after the men left, he went to the back door and saw a dark colored SUV exiting the parking lot to Pancho’s Restaurant and heading south toward Gallipolis, Ohio or rection. But it probably won’t be easy. Little girls like to fit in, and they are always anxious to grow up and be what is considered pretty. It’s worthwhile to try to find a different model for your daughter to latch onto. I suggest a focus on activities that aren’t necessarily compatible with makeup and sexy clothes. Sports and athletics might be a good focus. If your daughter can try out several different team activities in which strong, healthy bodies are emphasized over windowdressing, she might develop some friendships with girls who will not be impressed by fashion and makeup for children. It won’t be easy — the ‘tween beauty market is growing. The New York Times recently reported that products are being aimed at girls as young as 7. So if you can keep your daughter focused on lip moisturizer and sunscreen for sports, you’ll be doing really well. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My sister has always been a free spirit, and she is raising her kids that way. She and her husband both still shower and take baths with my niece and nephew, who are 5 and 3. They think it is fun and wholesome. I would never think of doing such a thing with my children, and I believe they are wrong. She says they will do it as long as everyone wants to. That seems pretty casual to me. Should I urge her again to stop this now? — G.I. Dear G.I.: Your sister has your input already, and I think any more advocating for your position on your part probably would fall on deaf ears. I understand your concerns and would venture to say that you probably are in the majority among parents, aunts and child-development ex- perts. But every family is different and has its own dynamics, among which is their attitude toward nudity and sexuality. This situation is complicated, and while your sister has the right idea, it would be good to know whether she will be able to recognize the first signs of discomfort among her family members and act accordingly. By the time children are the age of your niece and nephew, they are going to be noticing and commenting on their different body parts. This can be a good time to teach about privacy issues and touching, and encourage them to learn how to bathe themselves. Bathing with parents will become less comfortable for everyone, and differences in the adult bodies of their parents may become a focus that detracts from the wholesome experience they’ve had so far. The kids may even be teased by friends if they talk about family showers. So usually these issues will work themselves out. As time goes by, your relatives will find that everyone bathing separately makes a lot more sense for all of them. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Ohio executes man who fatally stabbed teen in 1985 LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Ohio on Wednesday executed a man for fatally stabbing the 15-year-old son of his former employers during a 1985 farmhouse burglary, marking the state’s first execution in six months and signaling a possible return to Ohio’s status as one of the country’s busiest death penalty states. Forty-nine-year-old Mark Wiles died by lethal injection at 10:42 a.m., ending an unofficial moratorium on the death penalty that occurred while the state and a federal judge wrangled over Ohio’s lethal injection procedures.

There were no injuries reported from the robbery. cluding June, July, September and November. Wiles, looking haggard with a sparse, cropped gray beard and shaven head, stared at witnesses for a few moments when he entered the death chamber. A few minutes later, strapped to the gurney and IV lines inserted into his arms, he raised his head and looked at witnesses again. “Since this needs to be happening, truly I pray that my dying brings some solace and closure to the Klima family and their loved ones,” he said. He also thanked his family for their love and support. “Finally, the state of Ohio should not be in the business of killing its citizens,” Wiles concluded, reading a statement that the warden held over his head. “May God bless us all that fall short.” As the lethal sedative began flowing, Wiles nodded, appeared to be speaking, swallowed, spoke again, then gasped a few moments later. Wiles’ stomach rose and fell several times and his head moved slightly, then his mouth fell open and he lay still for several minutes before he was pronounced dead. John Craig, a cousin of Wiles’ victim Mark Klima and a witness of the execution, appeared briefly before reporters to respond to Wiles’ last words. “It’s my opinion that Mark Wiles gave up his citizenship to Ohio when he murdered my cousin and became an inmate, more or less a condemned man,” Craig said. Wiles, who dropped his • • • • • • • • Submitted photo and personality disorder. The parole board earlier this month ruled unanimously that Wiles’ execution should proceed because he exploited the kindness of the family, for whom Wiles had been a farmhand, and because his remorse doesn’t outweigh the brutality of the crime. Wiles paced back and forth and was emotional and anxious in his last minutes in his cell a few steps from the death chamber, prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said. The inmate spent the night on the phone, listening to the radio and writing letters, Smith said. He and two sisters and a brother-inlaw cried during emotional visits Wednesday morning, and he also said the rosary with his spiritual adviser, a Roman Catholic priest who works at Ohio’s death row in Chillicothe. Wiles did not sleep since arriving at the death house Tuesday morning about 9:45 a.m., Smith said. “He did have a few brief moments where he became emotional upon his arrival, but his overall demeanor has remained the same, which is respectful, cooperative and compliant with our staff,” Smith said. For his special meal Tuesday night, Wiles requested a large pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese, hot sauce, a garden salad with ranch dressing, a large bag of Cheetos, a whole cheesecake, fresh strawberries, vanilla wafers and Sprite, Smith said. 2012 Buckeye Hills Ohio Valley Expo April 21 & 22 • This suspect, described as a black male with a visible mark below his left eye, is one of two men who robbed the Point Cafe #2 and its patrons early Sunday morning.

Both the parole board and Gov. John Kasich denied Wiles’ request. Wiles’ defense team had argued he should be spared because he confessed to the crime, showed remorse and had a good prison record. Wiles was not “the worst of the worst,” and the parole board showed inconsistency in allowing his execution, his public defenders said in a statement. “Just as Mark Wiles accepted responsibility for the horrible murder he committed, Mark accepted the ultimate punishment with grace and dignity,” the statement said. Records show that Wiles surprised 15-year-old Mark Klima during a burglary at his family’s farmhouse and stabbed him repeatedly with a kitchen knife until he stopped moving. Wiles could easily have escaped the farmhouse after Klima surprised him but instead chose to stab the teen repeatedly, Portage County Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci told the parole board. A report to the parole board said Wiles had suffered a head injury in a bar 12 days before the slaying in Rootstown in northeast Ohio, and a doctor testified that tests indicate he may have an injury to part of the brain that regulates impulse control.

Axelrod and Obama both cut their political teeth in Chicago, home of Obama inspiration Saul Alinsky, who preached the tactic of “isolating” a target and “demonizing” it. Romney’s riches fit the bill nicely. More recently, in January, Axelrod told George Stephanopoulos that Romney is “not a job creator” but a “corporate raider” who outsourced “tens of thousands of jobs,” “closed down more than 1,000 plants, stores, and offices,” and raked in “hundreds of millions of dollars” at the expense of the poor. Axelrod referred to this as the sinister “Bain mentality.” Alas, here we are, April 2012, with the presidential race finally down to Obama v. Romney, and the first polls show Obama behind this rapacious capitalist reptile. So, will Romney’s sudden surge signal to Axelrod and Obama to call off the class-warfare dogs? I doubt it. This thinking is too close to their hearts. They’ve been hungering for this; fomenting class envy is what they long to do. But maybe—just maybe— the American public won’t swallow it. Wouldn’t it be nice if the people of this country quit hating each other, including hating people with more money? I’m hoping so, but our messengers of hope, Obama and Axelrod, are hoping not.

That means a small cosmetics manufacturer can’t negotiate the lower prices that a company like Revlon can. And, he said, “they’re less likely to pass along their higher prices to customers.” Lorne Campbell, president of Occasionally Cake, two upscale bakeshops outside of Washington, D.C., has refrained from raising prices since his company was launched in 2009. “A small business is about personal relationships. It’s about trust,” he says. “A large faceless corporation doesn’t have to look at their customers and say, Mrs. Smith, you and your daughter are going to have to pay extra for a cupcake today.” Campbell estimates that he’s paying 10 percent to 12 percent more for ingredients and other supplies than he did a year ago. His fuel costs have doubled, although some of that increase is due to the fact he’s making more deliveries. Occasionally Cake has kept other costs down by holding back on hiring, and asking current staffers to take on more responsibilities and work longer hours. Other businesses can’t raise prices because they’re under contract to deliver goods or services at a set price.

Summitt steps aside, Warlick new Tennessee coach Teresa M. Walker When the Lady Vols lost in a regional final to eventual national champion Baylor, Warlick’s tears during the postgame news conference gave a glimpse of how draining the season had been and the possible reality that it was Summitt’s last game. Athletic director Dave Hart said summing up Summitt’s career is impossible. “She is an icon who does not view herself in that light, and her legacy is well-defined and everlasting,” Hart said. “Just like there will never be another John Wooden, there will never be another Pat Summitt. I look forward to continuing to work with her in her new role. She is an inspiration to everyone.” Summitt will report to Hart and help the women’s program she guided to eight national titles. “I want to help ensure the stability of the program going forward,” Summitt said. “I would like to emphasize that I fully intend to continue working as head coach emeritus, mentoring and teaching life skills to our players, and I will continue my active role as a spokesperson in the fight against Alzheimer’s through the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund.” Associated Press The iconic Pat Summitt is stepping aside, a moment fans of the Tennessee Lady Vols and women’s basketball have been dreading since August. Since the 59-year-old Summitt — the sports alltime winningest coach — revealed on Aug. 23 she had been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type, the move has been anticipated. The Lady Vols played through an emotional season with Summitt’s every move studied closely for glimpses of the disease that caused her problems with memory loss. Summitt said Wednesday the time had come. “I’ve loved being the head coach at Tennessee for 38 years, but I recognize that the time has come to move into the future and to step into a new role,” said Summitt. Tennessee said that Summitt — the sports all-time winningest coach — will become “head coach emeritus” with long-time assistant Holly Warlick being promoted to replace her. Tennessee has scheduled a news conference Thursday afternoon in Knoxville with Summitt and Warlick. Summitt supports Warlick as her replacement, the two have a long history together. Warlick was Summitt’s assistant for 27 years and a three-time All-American playing for the Hall of Fame coach. Hart said he watched Warlick grow tremendously this season under what he called “unique circumstances” and that she is deserving of the head job. Warlick will be the first head coach the Lady Vols have had since Summitt took over in 1974. “Her mentor will be available for insight and advice, but this is Holly’s team now,” Hart said. Warlick said she is very thankful for all Summitt has done in preparing her for this opportunity as her coach, mentor and friend. “We will work as hard as we possibly can with the goal of hanging more banners in Thompson-Boling Arena,” Warlick said. With the blessing of University of Tennessee, Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy Cheek, the Hall of Fame coach said she planned to continue coaching as long as possible and that she wanted to show the world that it was still possible to function, even in the face of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Summitt had been go- cubcadet.com CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. COMFORT ALL OVER. EXPERIENCE THE EFFORTLESS CONTROL OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. ing about business as usual since the loss to Baylor. But the season showed just how challenging being a Division I coach could be. Summitt needed to devote more attention to managing her health, so she had handed over more duties to her longtime assistants during the season. Warlick as associate head coach took the lead during games and handles postgame interviews, while the entire staff handled the bulk of the recruiting and management of practices. Even with Warlick and assistant coaches Mickie DeMoss and Dean Lockwood carrying a larger load, Summitt continued to leave her mark through guidance and motivation with her trademark icy stare, even if she did wear the look more infrequently. Then DeMoss left the program earlier this month for an assistant’s job with the Indiana Fever in the WNBA, another signal that Summitt’s tenure as head coach might be ending. Summitt’s diagnosis came during one of the Lady Vols’ most disappointing stretches — by Summitt’s lofty standards, anyway. Tennessee hasn’t won a national championship since 2008 and hasn’t even reached the Final Four, which ties for their longest such drought in program history. Tennessee’s five seniors were a part of the team that lost in the first round of the 2009 NCAA tournament, the only time in school history the Lady Vols had bowed out on the first weekend. Those seniors promised they would win a ninth national championship this Mark Cornelison/Lexington Herald-Leader/MCT photo season not just to change their legacy and to honor Summitt, but as center Vicki Baugh put it, “We’re playing for everyone who has Alzheimer’s.” They just couldn’t get back to the Final Four, and the group of seniors wound up the first Lady Vols to miss the Final Four. They lost to Baylor and Brittney Griner, a player Summitt couldn’t convince to come to Knoxville. It’s unlikely anyone will ever come close to matching Summitt’s accomplishments in women’s basketball, which has seen more parity in the past decade. Summitt’s career ends with a 1,098-208 record, 16 regular season Southeast- ern Conference championships and 16 SEC tournament titles. She also led the 1984 Olympic team to a gold medal. During her time, Tennessee never failed to reach the NCAA tournament, never received a seed lower than No. 5 and reached 18 Final Fours. Her impact reaches beyond wins and losses. Every Lady Vol player who has completed her eligibility at Tennessee has graduated, and 74 former players, assistants, graduate assistants, team managers and directors of basketball operations are currently among the coaching ranks at every level of basketball.

With Dan “Boom” Herron no longer around, there are a lot of questions surrounding Ohio State’s tailbacks. Jordan Hall has clearly marked himself as the frontrunner at the position, with Carlos Hyde, Bri’onte Dunn and Rod Smith in supporting roles. Ohio State’s coaches have not released a twodeep roster. But Hall, a senior who is probably more famous for being a high school teammate of Buckeyes outcast Terrelle Pryor than for anything he’s done on the field in college, has clearly made an impression. “We’re going to play to Jordan Hall’s strengths,” running backs coach Stan Drayton said. “He’s a guy who can be a versatile player for us. He is primarily a tailback, but we’re going to put more on his plate and see how much he can handle.” However, Hall is on the small side (5-foot-9 and 198 pounds) and only carried 100 times last year. Hyde is more of a typical Ohio State back, at 235 bruising pounds. Dunn has gotten notice as a raw freshman and Smith still figures into the plan. Heading into Saturday’s annual intrasquad scrimmage at Ohio Stadium, though, Hall knows he has a lot to prove — and that a lot of people are counting on him. “It’s a perfect fit, really,” he said of the offense that new head coach Urban Meyer brought from Florida. “The offense, the zone reads, the screens, everything like that — just getting it in the open field — that’s a good fit for me.” At Florida, Meyer made a point of getting the ball to his biggest threats. That meant putting wide receiver Percy Harvin, now with the Minnesota Vikings, all over the place — in the backfield, out wide, in the slot, taking direct snaps. The tradition at Ohio State is for a quarterback — sometimes a pocket thrower, sometimes a combo runner and passer — to hand the ball to a back who is lined up behind him. Big linemen clear space, and the back runs to daylight. Simple. Herron, despite a sixgame suspension for NCAA violations, rushed for 675 yards and seven touchdowns on plays that could just as easily have been drawn up by Woody Hayes back in the 1960s. But that wasn’t the playbook at Florida. Harvin, a tall, lanky sprinter, flourished in the system — as did the Gators, who won two national championships running it. Quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Chris Leak threw the ball but were also used as another running option. “In this system, in the Urban Meyer system, playmakers touch the ball. And we’re going to make the system fit our playmakers,” Drayton said. “We feel as if we’ve got ballcarriers here; they’re time-proven, they’re game-ready, they’ve been in game situations before. So there is no question that a thousand-yard rusher can be in this offense.” The adjustment to fitting new players into Meyer’s attack has experienced some bumps along the way. The defense, where Ohio State returns nine starters, manhandled the offense in the early going this spring. Also, the passing game is well behind the run game. All of which is to be expected, Meyer said. “Throwing the ball is one of the hardest things to do in football because it starts with protection and timing and all of those types of things,” Meyer said. “I can’t say that I’m surprised by what’s going on. That’s normal. The defense usually beats the mess out of the offense, the offense usually gets the running game going a little bit and then you develop the passing game.” It’s clear that the coaching staff beams when talking about Hall. Mostly a kick returner through his first three years with the Buckeyes, he wasn’t much of a performer in the classroom either. But he has picked up his grade-point average from a baseline 2.0 to a 3.4. Quiet and unassuming around teammates, he’s also taken a more active role in encouraging younger players and assuming a leadership role. Hall, still a close friend of Pryor who was banned from contact with Ohio State after NCAA violations, was asked if Buckeyes fans have ever seen anything like the offense the Buckeyes will utilize this season. “Well, not from an Ohio State team. Maybe when coach Meyer was at Florida, they might know it from that. But I don’t think anything like this has been in Ohio Stadium,” he said. “I think we’ll be able to put up a lot of points in this offense. Yes, it’s exciting.” The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 www.mydailysentinel.com Biffle re-energized, on top early in NASCAR season Stephen Hawkins Associated press Greg Biffle roared through the early stages of his NASCAR career. Biffle gave Jack Roush his first NASCAR season title in 2000 by winning the Trucks Series, two years after he was the rookie of the year. Then came the natural progression to the Nationwide Series, where Biffle won another rookie of the year award and followed immediately with the 2002 season championship before moving up again. A decade later, Biffle is still trying to become the first driver to complete the NASCAR title trio. This could finally be the year for the re-energized Biffle, who is coming off a victory at Texas that reinforced his standing as the early-season Sprint Cup points leader. “When I moved from the Trucks Series to Nationwide, it was a huge step. It was much, much harder. And when I moved from the Nationwide to the Cup Series, I had no idea that the competition was going to be what it was,” Biffle said. “I knew it was going to be hard. But this year is my year.” Biffle’s fifth top-five finish in seven races this season came in the fastest Cup race ever in Texas and snapped his 49-race winless drought. With only two early cautions, and 234 consecutive green-flag laps to end the race, he got a big boost in the pits from crew chief Matt Puccia and the rest of his team at the 1-mile, highbanked track. “That gives me huge confidence,” Biffle said. “I know that from about the third race, that these guys, the guys that Matt had put together, we kind of held the handcuffs on them a little bit last year until we got to the end of the season, and he revamped the entire team over the winter. I really, really like my guys.” Puccia, who like Biffle worked his way up through the Roush organization, replaced Greg Erwin midway through last season. The No. 16 Roush Fenway Ford had its only three poles of the season after that, but wasn’t enough to keep Biffle from finishing 16th in points, his worst since 2004 in his second full Cup season. “That guy, I promise you, if anybody can take me to winning a championship, it’s Matt Puccia,” Biffle said. “He never gives up, never leaves a rock unturned.” They started this season with third-place finishes in each of the first three races, taking over the points lead after the third race in Las Vegas. A pair of 13th-place finishes are the only ones outside the top six. “It was really an unusual thing when we went after the team the way we did last year and said, you know, we just got great people but they’re not just working together as well as they need to and we need to organize ourselves differently,” Jack Roush said after the Texas victory. “That’s a rarity that we do that. But that certainly was the key to getting the momentum that we’ve got going right now.” Biffle is certainly off to a much better start than last season, when the same opening three-race stretch set the tone for a frustrating season. There was a 35th-place finish at Daytona, before finishing 20th at Phoenix and 28th at Las Vegas. This week’s Cup race is in Kansas, where Biffle had last won before Saturday night in the Lone Star State. He has gone to Victory Lane twice in Kansas with eight top-10 finishes in the 11 previous races at the 1 1/2-mile track. Even though Biffle hasn’t won a Cup season title, the 42-year-old driver has had success on NASCAR’s highest level. The win in Texas was his 17th in the Cup Series. In 2005, Biffle won six times, and had 15 top-five finishes. He tied for second in season points with teammate Carl Edwards, only 35 behind Tony Stewart. Three years later, Biffle rebounded from missing the Chase two years in a row, and was third behind Jimmie Johnson and Edwards, who won nine races in 2008. Biffle became the first driver to win two of the 10 Chase races in the same season though those were his only victories. For now, Biffle is enjoying being on top while realizing there are 19 more races before the final 10-race Chase starts in mid-September. He hopes to be in the same spot at the end of the season, no matter what happens before then. “I know that we’re probably not going to lead the points the whole way. So I’m happy and proud of our team fighting to stay in the points lead running as good as we can every week,” Biffle said. “If and when that happens, certainly I’m not going to let that take the wind out of our sails. … We’re going to work as hard as we can to keep the points lead, keep in the top five, keep in the top three. “If we continue to lead the points, that’s a bonus,” he said. “If we’re not leading the points, we still are going to have that positive attitude.” Bengals have 3 primetime games CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals will play three prime time games — two of them on the road — in 2012, a reward for their unexpected playoff appearance last season. Cincinnati opens and closes the regular season against the Ravens. The Bengals open in Baltimore on Monday night, Sept. 10, and finish the regular season at Paul Brown Stadium on Dec. 30 against the Ravens. The Bengals also have prime time games on Sunday, Oct. 21 against Pittsburgh at home and on Thursday, Dec. 13 at Philadelphia. It’s the most prime time games they’ve had since 2007, when they had four. The NFL is giving every team at least one prime time game this season. Their final two games are at Pittsburgh and home against Baltimore, their two top AFC North rivals. Browns face Eagles in 2012 season opener CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns will open the 2012 season at home against Philadelphia on Sept. 9. It’s the first time they’ve faced the Eagles in the season opener since 1969. It’s also the 13th time in 14 years the Browns have opened their season in Cleveland. After hosting the Eagles, the Browns will travel to Cincinnati (Sept. 16) before returning home to play Buffalo (Sept. 23). The following week, the Browns will play their only prime-time game, a Thursday night matchup at Baltimore. The Browns will play the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants on Oct. 7 in New Jersey. Following their Nov. 11 bye week, the Browns visit Dallas (Nov. 18) before hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers (Nov. 25). Cleveland will play its regular-season finale at Pittsburgh on Dec. 30. NCAA bans Toledo hoops from postseason TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The Toledo men’s basketball team will be banned from next year’s postseason because of past academic problems after the NCAA denied the school’s appeal. The ban stems from several years of below-standard scores on the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate that a year ago cost Toledo three scholarships. Miscellaneous The NCAA earlier this year banned Connecticut’s men’s basketball team postseason because of several years of low scores, leading two members of Congress to say that the system used to enforce the NCAA standards appeared to be arbitrary and unfair. Toledo argued that the NCAA should consider its most recent academic performance from 2011-12. It said the team’s grades have exceeded the NCAA standards under secondyear coach Tod Kowalczyk. “It is simply a question of fairness,” athletic director Mike O’Brien said. The NCAA approved rules in October requiring a school have a two-year average score of 930 or a four-year average of 900 on the APR, which measures the academic performance of student-athletes, in order to qualify for the 2013 postseason tournament. �ThursdayApril , april 2012 Thursday, 19, 19, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 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 Thursday, April 19, 2012: This year you discover that there is often a side benefit to whatever you do.
