Gardner, 67, of Rutland Township. The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office received a call on Sunday evening regarding a man allegedly found dead at a residence on Paulins Hill Road, in Rutland Township near the Gallia County line. On Monday, Sheriff Robert Beegle and Prosecutor Colleen Williams said in a news release that James E. Gardner, the victim’s son, is wanted for questioning in the case, calling him a “person of interest.” The unofficial cause of death is blunt force trauma, according to Beegle. According to Beegle, the younger Gardner, 40, was seen driving a truck reported missing from the victim’s residence on Sunday afternoon. James E. Gardner was driving the 2001 dark blue Dodge Ram 2500, 4x4, with Ohio license plate FNC8396 crossing into West Virginia on the Silver Memorial Bridge at approximately 3 p.m., Sunday. At the time there was also a red four-wheeler in the back of the truck. He reportedly lived at the home with his father. Beegle said that another witness may have been able to place James E. Garnder in the vehicle around 1 p.m. Sunday. James E. Gardner is described as a white male with blond hair and green eyes, being six feet tall and approximately 175 pounds. According to Beegle, there is a warrant for James E. Gardner from Jackson County, Ohio, for the theft of 150 gallons of diesel fuel. The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation is handling the case. Two agents were on scene along with the Meigs County See WANTED ‌| 2 James E.

Remembering veterans Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — “Please do not let Veterans Day be the only day of remembrance for our veterans,” said Dr. Rob Wyatt who served in Iraq with the U. S. Army as the officer in charge of Combat Stress Control at Camp Taji, when he spoke at Monday’s Veterans Day service. “They sacrifice, we need to give support,” said Dr. Wyatt after relating some of his personal experiences of contacts with soldiers who had been in a combat environment for three years. He said some described themselves as having been gone from home so long that they have trouble relating to their families and they to him. “The public has a lack of understanding of the sacrifice of our military members,” said Wyatt, adding that they and their families deserve our recognition and remembrance, not just today but every day. He said that since the end of the Vietnam War the country has gone to an all-volunteer force which means that there are many who come from a place of disadvantage and may be somewhat less able to tolerate the strain of military life away from supportive families. . Wyatt commented that just the sight of a helicopter landing on the football field recently left him in a “dark place,” taking him back to 2008 when See VETERANS ‌| 2 Dr. Rob Wyatt speaks on his years of service in Iraq.

The program of handling the disposal of prescription drugs and over the county medicines through a local collection box is part of a program by the Attorney General’s office partnered with the Ohio Department of Health, Drug Free Action Committee, and the National Association of Drug Division. Swift said the container is securely locked and can only be opened by an officer of his department when it needs to be emptied. The contents, he explained, “will be properly disposed of either through incineration or another appropriate method.” He added that “getting outdated drugs and over-the-counter medications out of the house is a step toward eliminating accidental overdose.” Swift also mentioned that in addition to accidental overdoses by the family, there is the safety factor of discouraging a break-in. A statement printed on the disposal box reads, “Unintentional drug overdoses are the leading cause of accidental deaths in Ohio.” Rutland Volunteer Fire Department Annual Turkey Dinner Saturday, November 17th Serving starts @ 5 p.m. Meigs Elementary School Advance Tickets $6.00 Available at Quality Print Rutland Dept.

Alfred UMW meet ALFRED — The Alfred United Methodist Women met recently at the church with five members present. The president, Mary Jo Barringer, opened the meeting with all reciting the UMW purpose. The secretary and treasurer’s reports were given. There were 165 friendship calls made. Janice Weber picked Lyda Pierce for the prayer calendar birthday card. She is from New York, NY, and is in missions. Helen Wolf will have the November card. The president read a letter of thanks from Wesley Community Center for the donation. She also read a letter from Good Works, Inc, celebrating 32 years. The group decided to give a donation to “Sneakers for Eagles.” Weber had the mission report from the Response magazine titled, “Stumbling over Reproductive Health.” Every woman has a right to complete health care throughout her life — even in developing countries. In many, significant obstacles are put in the way when it comes to her rights. Her reproductive health is affected by the social, cultural, and economic conditions of her country. Churches, governments, and ad- vocates for women can help remove these obstacles to good health care for women in these developing countries by providing information and counseling to women; prioritizing child spacing; involving men in all health initiatives; sustaining support for community members to keep girls in school; providing women and couples with a wide range of contraceptive methods; banning female genital mutilations; and empowering women to participate in all levels of decision making in their communities. The president read a piece and had a program titled “Sowing Faith, Hope and Love.” She read the prayer for the program planner and the group read the opening prayer. Scripture from Matthew 13:1-9 and 18-23 was read. Barringer told about the World Thank Offering and collected the group’s offering to be used for missions. The leader and group read the closing prayer. The president had prayer before the refreshments served by Wolf. The next meeting will be a potluck dinner on Nov. 13.

In a better econa background similar to omy, you might be tempted to walk out, or at least look yours — in which they have been singled out by bullies or even family members who convinced them that they would never amount to anything. I don’t know if this eventually will go away, but you can be comforted by the fact that your success is indeed real and by an understanding of why you might feel that you don’t deserve it. When you take stock of your life, you will see that you have decades of life ahead in which to build upon your foundation of hard work and talent. The fact that you still see some of your tormentors around for another job, right? But in any case, it would be a good idea to try to improve your standing for the next chance you have. It is interesting that the fellow who got the better of you was not a better candidate. (I will take your word for it.) You describe him as a mediocre producer and a blowhard. Sometimes people who are not great at their jobs are actually very good at self-promotion, and that is likely the case here. If so, up against someone who admittedly doesn’t toot his own horn, it’s not surprising that he got the job. A new study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology bears this out. Although the most successful people who are not very competent usually are not braggarts, as in the case of your rival, they often are the more popular people in the office and those who speak the most often, in self-confident tones. They exaggerate their abilities, give a lot of information and present themselves as being calmly superior. If you would start acting in a more self-confident manner, your superior performance should help you grow your career more successfully.

Because war is hell, all good soldiers must yearn for Peace, the ultimate goal in which lie their own personal aspirations and the aspirations of the entire Country. Purify the motives of every soldier to be aware that the ultimate mission of the military in defending our Country is to achieve peace through victory while preserving human dignity to the greatest extent possible… combatants and non-combatants, friend and foe…all as children of God. Protect our troops who are in harm’s way…from enemy and even friendly fire, IED’s, ambushes, and accident. Guide our NCOs and commissioned officers to lead effectively and to accomplish the mission with prudence and wisdom while caring for their men and women without risking their lives unnecessarily. Remind them to seek your counsel in the life and death decisions they must make. Remind our men to look out for each other as they all strive to survive in the heat of battle. Maintain the morale of the troops. Preserve the patriotic and spiritual ideals of our young men and women, their sense of moral right and wrong so that they do not become cynical as they live through the horrors of war while fighting for our Country. Help our soldiers to treat prisoners of war with dignity as human beings and even with a certain compassion despite the fact that the enemy may have committed monstrous atrocities upon their buddies. Don’t let us ever lower ourselves to seek revenge with atrocities of our own. Inspire our troops to also work for the common good of all…to be effective ambassadors of good will, and win the hearts and minds of the people while accomplishing the mission. Make our officers ever aware of the consequences of their decisions upon people in regard to the safety of their troops and collateral damage to the populace…to be prudent in not using more force and causing more destruction and casualties than is necessary to accomplish the mission. Give our troops the grace to maintain high moral principles on and off base, while on a mission or during a break in the action. Bring them ever closer to you so that they will leave the service as true men and women of God. Help the families that the soldiers have left behind to cope by themselves with the difficulties of daily living and problems that come up. Lord, please assist the thousands of veterans in our midst, who are still suffering for us and for our Country with permanent physical injury, loss of a limb, PTSD, flashbacks, and mental anguish. And Lord, help us to appreciate the sacrifices that the troops are making now and many veterans are continuing to make. Help them to adjust to civilian life and to provide for themselves and their families with dignity. Make us sensitive to their needs and don’t let our Society tolerate the presence of homeless veterans who cannot function because of the sacrifices they made for us while soldiers. We ask all of this in your name Oh Lord. We praise you and thank you for loving us so much. Amen. Occupy Sandy: Onetime protesters find new cause Meghan Barr The Associated Press NEW YORK — The social media savvy that helped Occupy Wall Street protesters create a grassroots global movement last year is proving to be a strength in the wake of Superstorm Sandy as members and organizers of the group fan out across New York to deliver aid including hot meals, medicine and blankets. They’re the ones who took food and water to Glenn Nisall, a 53-year-old resident of Queens’ hardhit and isolated Rockaway section who lost power and lives alone, with no family nearby. “I said: ‘Occupy? You mean Occupy Wall Street?’” he said. “I said: ‘Awesome, man. I’m one of the 99 percent, you know?’” Occupy Wall Street was born in late 2011 in a lower Manhattan plaza called Zuccotti Park, with a handful of protesters pitching tents and vowing to stay put until world leaders offered a fair share to the “99 percent” who don’t control the globe’s wealth.

WASHINGTON — One war is done, another is winding down and the calls to cut the deficit are deafening. The military, a beneficiary of robust budgets for more than a decade, is coming to grips with a new reality — fewer dollars. The election accelerated an already shifting political dynamic that next year will pair a second-term Democratic president searching for spending cuts with tea partyers and conservatives intent on preserving lower tax rates above all else, even if it means once unheard of reductions in defense. President Barack Obama and Congress have just a few weeks to figure out how to avert the automatic cuts to defense and domestic programs totaling $110 billion next year. Those reductions are part of the so-called fiscal cliff of expiring Bushera tax cuts and the across-the-board cuts that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has warned would be devastating to the military. All sides are trying to come up with a deficit-cutting plan of $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Any solution that might emerge from the high-stakes negotiations before the Jan. 2 deadline likely would include some reductions in the military budget, which has nearly doubled in the last decade to half a trillion dollars. That amount doesn’t include the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Projected defense spending over the next 10 years was expected to grow to $640 billion. In the parlance of Willie Sutton, who supposedly said he robbed banks because that’s where the money was, the military budget is where the dollars are for Washington negotiators. “It is a big piggybank,” said former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, a Republican who along with Democrat Erskine Bowles had recommended $4 trillion in budget cuts over a decade, including deep reductions in defense, as part of a special presidential commission in December 2010. “If you can’t get in there and start getting stuff out of there when you have a defense budget of $740 billion bucks — and the defense budget of every major country on earth, 17 of them, including Russia and China, is $540 billion combined. Who is joshing who,” said Simpson. “That’s madness, madness.” One possible starting point is the recommendation of Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, DMich., who indicated earlier this year that he would be willing to accept additional defense cuts of $10 billion a year as part of any solution to avoid the across-the-board cuts. “I think it’s got to be all one package, and defense has to participate. Everything has to be on the table,” said former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., a predecessor of Levin at the helm of Armed Services who also insisted that the rising cost of Social Secu- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Nunn pointed out that former Defense Secretary Bob Gates and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have said the greatest threat to national security is the nation’s fiscal crisis. In past negotiations, Congress and the White House had considered changes in the military’s TRICARE health program, which costs more than $50 billion and has exploded into the biggest entitlement program for the Pentagon. Working-age military retirees have only seen small increases in their premium costs as their friends in Congress have fought any changes. The Pentagon budget already is facing a 10-year reduction of $487 billion in projected spending, the result of the budget agreement reached by Obama and Congress in August 2011. Congressional Republicans argued for months that those cuts were harsh enough and the Pentagon couldn’t stand any more reductions. The days of staunch defense hawks in Congress easily turning back efforts to cut military spending are gone as war fatigue even has reached the fiercest guardians of military spending. In September, Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Fla., chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees defense spending, said the United States should withdraw its forces from Afghanistan. The current timetable calls for U.S. combat troops to be out by the end of 2014. “We’re killing kids who don’t need to die,” Young said in an interview with the editorial board of the Tampa Bay Times. One of the most telling but little-noticed votes this past year came in the House, where a coalition of Democrats led by liberal Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Republican Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., combined forces to persuade lawmakers to freeze defense spending at the current level, cutting $1.1 billion from the $608 billion bill. The vote was 247-167, with 89 Republicans joining 158 Democrats. It was the clearest signal yet that defense dollars were no longer spared from budget cuts in a time of astronomical deficits. “Austerity to me means spending less,” Mulvaney said at the time. “Total government spending will be up this year. We’re still facing a $1 trillion deficit. We need to do better to get our spending under control.” Conservatives from anti-tax leader Grover Norquist to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, have spoken openly about defense cuts. Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, has rejected the oft-repeated Republican contention that defense spending means jobs. In an interview with the Cato Institute several months ago, he talked of combating “the idea that the Defense Department is a jobs program.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

The Redstorm, who improved to 2-1 with the victory, will face WVU Tech - an 87-75 winner over Wilberforce University in Friday’s opening game - in Saturday’s championship game at 5 p.m. OU-Chillicothe (0-2) will face Wilberforce in Saturday’s consolation game at 1 p.m. Junior forward Karl Moore had a team-best 19 points and six rebounds for Rio Grande, which had all of its 14 players score in the win. Freshmen guards D.D. Joiner and Austin McMaster had 14 and 10 points, respectively for the RedStorm, which shot 54.7 percent from the field (41-for-75) on the heels of shooting just 29 percent in a loss to Taylor (IN) University last Saturday. Rio led by as many as 25 points in the opening half before settling on a 19-point cushion, 44-25, at the intermission. The Hilltoppers pulled to within 17 points inside the first 90 seconds of the second stanza, but got no closer the rest of the way. Rio’s biggest lead of the night was 52 points, 99-47, following a layup by sophomore guard Travis Elliott with 2:04 remaining. OU-Chillicothe shot just 36 percent from the field (18-for50), 55 percent from the foul line and was outrebounded 4331. Nine of the 10 players who saw action for the Hilltoppers scored, but only Casey Shaw reached double figures. The sophomore guard from Washington Court House, Ohio finished with 13 points. Submitted by Jan Haddox Point Pleasant junior Brycen Reymond hauls in a pass during Saturday afternoon’s Class AAA playoff game against Morgantown at Pony Lewis Field in Morgantown, W.Va. Mohigans outlast Point Pleasant, 49-28 Andy Layton Special to OVP MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — There is a famous quote by Mark Twain that says – “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog”. The Point Pleasant Big Blacks showed a lot of fight against the much bigger Morgantown Mohigans but came up short in the first round of the AAA playoffs, falling 49-28 at Pony Lewis Field in Morgantown High School. “I couldn’t be more proud of our kids” said Head Coach Dave Darst. “Not a lot of people gave us a chance to be in this football game and we were able to play a great second half and put ourselves in position to make it a one possession ball game. We just could not get one more stop.” The Big Blacks – making their fifth straight playoff appearance – were able to use a quick passing attack that kept the Mohigans on their heels. Sophomore quarterback Aden Yates continued his stellar sophomore season – completing 19 of 31 passes – both believed to be Point Pleasant records – for 177 yards and three more touchdown passes. The running attack that had picked up steam toward the end of the season struggled on Saturday afternoon. Leading rusher Marquez Griffin was only able to amass 56 yards on 9 carries and one score. The leading receiver on the day was the leading receiver for the season – junior Chase Walton. Walton caught 7 passes for 70 yards on the day and another touchdown reception as well. Junior tight end Brycen Reymond also caught two touchdown passes. “Offensively, we played a great ball game. Aden had one of the best days you can ask for throwing the football and he had a lot of kids who made some great catches. We just could not get the running game going with their size.” The first half of the game proved to be the difference in the game. Despite some offensive production, Point was only able to score one touchdown. The Morgantown power running game proved to be too much for the much smaller Big Blacks defensive front, as the Mohigans put up 35 first half points. The Big Blacks were able to put the ball in the end-zone three times in the third quarter and put pressure on the Mohigans entering the 4th quarter. Morgantown led 42-28 entering the last quarter before eventually scoring one last touchdown to put the game away. Despite the loss, it was a positive step ahead for the Red and Black in their first season back in the AAA classification. The Big Blacks had been using more and more young kids in starting roles as the season progressed, which will assuredly help next season. “We had a lot of kids grow up today. They weren’t afraid of a much bigger team and that is going to carry over to our offseason programs.” The Big Blacks officially end the season with an 8-3 record and will say goodbye to the following seniors: Tylun Campbell (captain), Andrew Williamson (captain), Hunter Bellamy (captain), Dakota Jeffers (captain), Victor Mertin, Jacob Gardner, Anthony Perry, Marquez Griffin, Conner Templeton, Zach Coe, Les Schwarz, Kodi Stranahan, Jared Smith, Bobby McKown, Jon Massile, Alex Sheets, and Eric Freeman Sports Schedule Thursday, Nov. 15 URG Sports Women’s Basketball vs. Cumberland, 6 p.m. Men’s Basketball vs. Cumberland, 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 Football Wahama vs. Greenbrier West at PPHS, 1:30 URG Sports Women’s Basketball vs. U. of Cumberlands, 2 p.m. Men’s Basketball vs. U. of Cumberlands, 4 p.m. Men’s Soccer at NAIA Tournament, TBA Submitted photos by Michael Brace Gallia Academy senior Luke Pullins (29) makes a tackle on Thurgood Marshall runningback Daryl McClesky (22) during the second half of Saturday night’s Division III, Region 12 semifinal football contest at Western Brown High School in Mt.

The battle of David and Goliath quickly turned into an alternate ending Saturday night as the Gallia Academy football team suffered a 68-9 setback to Dayton Thurgood Marshall in a Division III, Region 12 semifinal at Kibler Stadium on the campus of Western Brown High School. The fourth-seeded Blue Devils (9-3) were simply overmatched by the top-seeded Cougars, who clinched their first regional final appearance in school history with the triumph. Thurgood Marshall (111) led 55-0 at the intermission and gained twice as many offensive yards in the first half (387) than GAHS had (187) in the entire contest.

Thunderhawks shock RedStorm women Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE — Miami-Middletown freshman guard Lisa Weber poured in a career-high 24 to lead five players in double figures and the Thunderhawks held on in the closing minutes to post a 93-90 upset of the University Rio Grande, Friday night, in the women’s bracket of the 30th Annual Bevo Francis Tournament at the Newt Oliver Arena. With the win, Middletown advances to Saturday’s 11 a.m. title game against West Virginia University Tech, which defeated Wilberforce University, 81-74, earlier on Friday. Rio Grande, which dropped to 1-1 with the loss, will meet Wilberforce in Saturday’s consolation game, with tipoff scheduled for 3 p.m. Middletown, which was blizted by Mid-South Conference members Campbellsville and Lindsey Wilson in its first two games of the season, shot 57.4 percent for the game (31-for-54). The Thunderhawks shot a sizzling 66.7 percent in the first half (16-for24) en route to a 48-36 halftime lead. Rio Grande watched the deficit reach as many as 14 points before pulling to within 64-60 on a three-pointer by senior guard Sharadi MorrisonFountain with 13:12 left in the game. Middletown built its lead back to 13 points, 76-63, after a jumper by Kristen Washington with 9:32 remaining, but Rio proceeded to embark on a 15-0 run over the next three minutes and took a 78-76 lead on a short jumper by freshman forward Sarah Bonar with 6:20 left to play. It was the RedStorm’s first lead since holding a 15-13 advantage with just under 12 minutes to play in the opening half. The Thunderhawks tied the game on their ensuing possession, setting the stage for a frantic final six minutes which saw three ties and five lead changes. Morrison-Fountain hit a pair of free throws with 20.3 seconds left to give the RedStorm a 90-89 lead, but Weber hit two free throws of her own with 11.6 seconds left to send Middletown back in front. Rio Grande had a chance to win the game on its ensuing possession, but a would-be game-winning layup by Morrison-Fountain with three seconds left rattled. Weber, who connected on 15 of 18 free throw attempts in the game and who scored nine of her 11 second half points at the charity stripe, set the final score with a pair of free throws with 1.3 seconds left. Brianne Thornton had 18 points and six rebounds in the winning effort, while Megan Costa and Washington added 15 and 14 points, respectively, for the Thunderhawks. Middletown, which finished 27-for36 at the free throw line as a team, also got 10 points from Ashley Heard. Morrison-Fountain had 25 points and four assists, while Bonar netted 20 to lead a quartet of double-digit scorers for Rio Grande. Sophomore guard Noelani Woodson had 15 points - all via three-point goals - and junior guard Kate Hammond finished with 10 points in the loss. The RedStorm hit 35 of their 80 shots overall (43.8 percent), but went just 8-for-31 from three-point range and hit only 12 of their 19 free throw attempts. �Tuesday, November 13, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Rentals 2 Bedroom mobile home, Clean, No Pets 446-7275 $375mo. plus dep.

The Blue Raiders bounced the RedStorm in three games. Rio Grande volleyball falls to Lindsey Wilson Randy Payton Special to OVP LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Second-seeded Lindsey Wilson College staved off a first game comeback by the University of Rio Grande and then rolled in the final two games, posting a 3-0 (28-26, 2513, 25-16) win over the No. 3 seed RedStorm, Saturday morning, in the semifinal round of the Mid-South Conference volleyball tournament at the MidAmerica Sports Center. The Blue Raiders, who received votes in the latest NAIA coaches poll, improved to 27-12 with the win and advanced to the tournament title game against the winner of the second semifinal contest between top-seeded Georgetown College and No. 4 seed Campbellsville University. Rio Grande finished its season at 21-10. Lindsey Wilson held a 20-15 lead in the first set before Rio rallied with seven straight points to take a 22-20 lead of its own. The RedStorm had three opportunities to close out the game but failed to do and the Blue Raiders scored the final three points to get the win. Rio trailed 10-9 in game two before Lindsey Wilson scored 15 of the final 19 points to take a 2-0 lead, and the Blue Raiders finished things off by bolting to a 20-9 edge in game three and cruising to the win. Rio Grande, which entered the match ranked fourth in the country in hitting percentage, finished with a season-low .044 percentage in the loss, including a .023 showing in each of the final two games. Senior outside hitter Whitney Smith and sophomore right-side hitter/ middle blocker Betsy Schramm shared game-high honors for the RedStorm with eight kills each. Smith also had a teamhigh 17 digs. Junior setter Kelsey Martin finished with 12 digs in a losing cause, while junior defensive specialist/libero Nicole Ogg added 16 digs and senior middle blocker Erin Sherman had four blocks. Kailey Moorhead and Sarah Anderson had 10 kills each for Lindsey Wilson, while Andrea Taylor handed out 39 assists and had 13 digs. Moorhead also had a team-best four blocks. Kellie Ranney had 18 digs to lead a quartet of double-digit performers for the Blue Raiders. Angela Mlachnik and Kristi Hager had 16 and 14 digs, respectively. Saturday’s game amarked the final contest in a RedStorm uniform for Smith, Sherman, senior defensive specialist/libero Lauren Raines and junior setter Kayla Landaker. Landaker will graduate in the spring and will not return next season. at halftime,” Eddy said. “But, like we always do, we found a little extra gas in the tank and came out and played a good second half. “We were able to get all of our seniors out on the field in the fourth quarter and give them that last chance to play together as brothers. Our fans stayed and supported us until the bitter end. In a small way, it was a fitting end for a great group of young men.” After a three-and-out by Gallia Academy on the opening drive of the game, Denzel Norvell gave TMHS its permanent lead with 7:47 remaining in the first after capping a sevenplay, 68-yard drive on a 21-yard run to paydirt for a 7-0 advantage. GAHS was forced into another three-and-out and the ensuing punt by Logan Allison was blocked, allowing Brandon Flucas to recover the loose ball and return it to the Devils’ eight-yard line. Norvell had back-to-back carries of seven yards and one yard, with the latter capping the scoring drive with 6:20 left in the period for a 14-0 advantage. The Blue Devils were again forced to punt on their ensuing possession, but they got the ball right back after Nick Clagg intercepted a pass by Jamahl Manley with 4:22 left in the opening stanza. That interception was the only defensive stop GAHS had in the first half, but it was also the first time Manley had been picked off all season long. Gallia Academy — which did not have a first down in the first quarter — lost the ball on downs with 2:14 left in the opener, then TMHS marched 60 yards in six plays during that time frame to take a 21-0 edge. Vayante Copeland busted loose for a 33-yard TD scamper as the first quarter clock expired to cap that drive. GAHS picked up its first first down of the night on the opening play of the second quarter, an 18yard pass completion from Wade Jarrell to Cody Russell. The Blue Devils, however, had that drive stall and were forced to punt. The Cougars retaliated by marching 82 yards in four plays, as Copeland rumbled 53 yards to paydirt for a 28-0 lead with 8:23 left in the second period. Another GAHS punt followed, and Thurgood Marshall marched 82 yards in six plays for a 35-0 advantage when Copeland capped things with a 13yard scamper at the 3:48 mark. The Blue Devils lost possession on downs during their ensuing drive, then TMHS went 40 yards in four plays for a 41-0 cushion after Norvell scored from six yards out with 1:51 remaining until halftime. Thurgood Marshall followed with a successful onside kick, then rumbled 47 yards in three plays for a 48-0 edge following a Deangelo Worthy 41-yard scoring run with 60 seconds left. With the Blue Devils facing a third-and-10 at their own 43 just before the half, Ty Warnimont ran for seven yards before fumbling the ball at the TMHS 48-yard line. Cope- CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon avoided suspension Monday when NASCAR instead fined him $100,000 and docked him 25 points for intentionally wrecking Clint Bowyer at Phoenix International Raceway. Gordon was also placed on probation through Dec. 31. But he’ll be allowed to close out the season Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway despite his actions in Sunday’s race, which triggered a fight in the garage area between the two crews. “I take responsibility for my actions on the racetrack,” Gordon said in a statement. “I accept NASCAR’s decision and look forward to ending the season on a high note at Homestead.” Rick Hendrick was also docked 25 car owner points, and crew chief Alan Gustafson was placed on probation through the end of the year. “I’ve always respected Jeff for standing his ground,” said Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “We also respect that NASCAR needs to police the sport and send a message when situations like this occur. It’s been a great year, and we’re going to put our focus on finishing in a positive way this weekend.” Bowyer crew chief Brian Pattie was fined $25,000 and placed on probation through the end of the year. NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton considered the matter closed after issuing the penalties. “There’s no doubt that a unique set of circumstances combined with a championship battle on the line resulted in raw emotions coming into play,” he said. “We consider the penalties appropriate and those involved understand our decision and we expect them to abide by them.” Meanwhile, Brad Keselowski was fined $25,000 and placed on probation for having an electronic device inside the car — the phone he used to tweet during a red flag period caused by Gordon wrecking Bowyer. Keselowski first did it during a red flag at the season-opening Daytona 500, and NASCAR later banned the practice. Win over Giants saves Bengals’ season CINCINNATI (AP) — By drubbing the defending champions, the Bengals have given themselves a second chance. A 31-13 win over the New York Giants on Sunday moved Cincinnati (4-5) back to the periphery of the playoff chase with a couple of games ahead against struggling teams. The Bengals will get a chance to make it interesting. The lopsided victory also represented a breakthrough. The Bengals haven’t been able to beat a good team the past two seasons, going 0-6 against AFC North rivals Pittsburgh and Baltimore. They went 0-8 last season against other teams that reached the playoffs. This one was notable, even if a lot of their fans missed it. “Yeah, man, that was huge for us,” defensive tackle Domata Peko said on Monday. “We really needed that win. It was important because they’re world champions and when you can compete against a team like that, it shows us we can compete against anybody.” With its season on the line, Cincinnati played its best game of the season by far. Andy Dalton threw a career-high four touchdown passes, the defense sacked Eli Manning a season-high four times and caused four turnovers, and Adam “Pacman” Jones returned a punt 68 yards to set up a touchdown. “We got rolling pretty good,” safety Chris Crocker said. “The test for us was when we got up. We were pretty confident we’d come out of the gates really fast. It was just when we got up, how would we respond? That’s been our Achilles heel this season.” The Bengals have gotten pushed around in the second half for most of the season. They blew a 14-3 lead and lost to Pittsburgh at Paul Brown Stadium, then had the Broncos rally in the fourth quarter for a win a week ago. The back-to-back losses left them with a four-game losing streak and cost them credibility with fans. Cincinnati sold out its first four home games — two more than last season — but couldn’t fill Paul Brown Stadium for the Giants game. There were nearly 9,000 empty seats on a sunny, 70-degree afternoon. “You never know when we’re going to have a sellout,” Crocker said. “I thought we would have, having the Super Bowl champions coming in here.” land scooped up the loose ball and rumbled 52 yards to paydirt, allowing the Purple and Gold to take a 55-0 advantage into the intermission. Thurgood Marshall had 32 carries for 387 yards and 17 first downs at the break, compared to just 19 rushes for 34 yards and 2-of-10 passing for 10 yards for GAHS. Only one penalty was called in the opening 24 minutes of regulation. The Blue Devils also had only four offensive snaps inside TMHS territory in the first half. Both teams traded possessions in the third canto, and Gallia Academy finally came away with some points early in the fourth after Dylan Saunders connected on a 33-yard field goal for a 55-3 deficit. Saunders’ successful boot capped a 10-play, 56-yard drive that ended with 11:50 left in regulation. TMHS followed with a quick one-play scoring drive, as Daryl McClesky rumbled 60 yards to give the hosts a 62-3 edge with 11:39 remaining. Both teams again traded possessions, then Gallia Academy followed with a three-play, 46-yard drive that ultimately turned into the guests’ only touchdown of the night. Nick Clagg bullied his way into the endzone from five yards out with 4:13 left to pull the Devils within 62-9. McClesky wrapped up the scoring with 2:29 remaining after rumbling seven yards to cap a fourplay, 69-yard drive for a 68-9 finale. The Blue Devils finished the night with 40 carries for 129 yards and went 5-of-20 passing for 58 yards. The Blue and White had 13 first downs total and were also flagged six times for 35 yards. GAHS also punted five times for an average of 30 yards. Clagg led Gallia Academy with 46 rushing yards on four carries, followed by Kole Carter with 28 yards on two totes. Warnimont added 21 yards on six tries, while Russell and Luke Pullins had 19 yards apiece on four and five attempts respectively. Wade Jarrell finished the night 4-of-13 passing for 49 yards, while Cody Call was 1-of-7 passing for nine yards. Clagg had two catches for 10 yards, while Allison (9 yards), Reid Eastman (24) and Justin Bailey (15) each hauled in a reception apiece. Pullins and Austin Gragg each had a fumble recovery in the second half, and both takeaways ultimately led to offensive points on the ensuing GAHS drives. Including the blocked punt, the Blue Devils were still plus-1 in turnover differential. It was the final football game for seniors Nick Clagg, Justin Bailey, Lonnie Taylor, Luke Pullins, Cody Call, Cody Russell, Mark Allen, Caleb Campbell, Brad Swisher, Chris Elliott, Austin Gragg, Briggs Shoemaker and Scott Warren in the Blue and White. Eddy believes that this team, and particularly those upperclassmen, are still true champions — regardless of the final outcome Saturday night. “Watching these young men give it all they had for 48 minutes is why this hurts so much. I’ve lost games in the past, and the scoreboard part of this isn’t what hurts,” Eddy said. “This is my first fouryear group, and these guys have meant so much to me over my years here. “Watching these guys battle like they always have, that’s what makes it hurt. Knowing that I have to say goodbye after four years, that’s what is tough for me right now. It’s been an honor to be their coach, and I am proud of each and every one of them for what they have accomplished over the years. It’s family forever.” Copeland led the Cougars with 183 rushing yards on 12 carries, while Norvell added 142 yards on 13 attempts. McClesky had 120 yards on nine totes in the second half, while Robert Brown II added 102 rushing yards on 12 tries. In retrospect, Eddy acknowledges that Gallia Academy accomplished just about every possible goal it had before the beginning of the 2012 campaign. The Blue Devils beat Jackson, won an SEOAL title outright, made the postseason and hosted a playoff win. Even in defeat, the positives were still shining through. “We played as long as we could play this year, and that is always a goal for any team at the start of the season,” Eddy said. “We have no regrets. These guys have a lot to be proud of for the rest of their lives.” Cougars From Page 6 The Plains — knocked off seventh-seeded Springfield Shawnee by a 36-35 margin in the other Region 12 semifinal Saturday night. Thurgood Marshall scored on its first two drives of the game and seven of its eight first half possessions overall, plus had a defensive touchdown to end the first half with a sizable cushion at the break. The Blue Devils, who had only three first downs and 44 yards of total offense in the opening two periods, were never within 50 points the rest of the way. After pulling most of their starters at halftime, the Cougars built for the future while allowing Gallia Academy to keep things more respectable in the second half. Neither team scored in the third quarter, then both teams came up with multiple scoring drives down the stretch to wrap up the 59-point outcome. The deficit is the largest for Gallia Academy in its 16 postseason games alltime, but the final outcome had nothing to do with a lack of effort or talent. As fourth-year GAHS coach Mike Eddy noted afterwards, the Blue Devils kept giving it their all against a great team as the night progressed. And much to their credit, the Blue Devils had a few rewarding things happen along the way. “I knew we wouldn’t give up, but it was rather about how much we had left in the tank. We played so hard just to keep the score the way that it was �Tuesday, November 13, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Tuesday, November 13, 2012 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 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 Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012: This year you could experience important yet surprising changes.

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) HHHH Others will not be happy unless you give them the full attention they feel they deserve. Communication falls into the proverbial situation where everyone only hears what they want and nothing more. Try a different approach. Tonight: Relax with a less stressful person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Defer to others, as they are so demanding that you have little choice. You might feel as if many people do not understand what you are sharing. It would be a different story if they weren’t so self-involved. Recognize that you are wasting your energy. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Stay even-tempered, and focus on accomplishing as much as possible today. The pace is hectic, but you are up to it. Clearing up as much as possible now will allow you to accept an invitation that otherwise you couldn’t. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others could be tumultuous and even exhausting to watch. Communication might be confusing, and your reaction could take you down an odd path as a result. Stop and center yourself, then go over the situation in your mind. Tonight: Let the fun begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Instinctively, you want to retreat from others. People could be overly demanding and not into negotiating. You might decide to spend a quiet day at home in order to steer clear of the uproar; that would be a very smart decision.

Tonight: Spend wisely. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You could be overwhelmed by the many possibilities you see. As a result of the enormous amount of activity and tasks you have taken on, you have become rather me-oriented. Understand that someone might be needier than you. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Lying low is acceptable if you are feeling drained. A discussion with a friend or loved one might help. Actually, your fatigue could be blamed on today’s solar eclipse. Be aware that others might be experiencing a similar effect. Tonight: Not to be found. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Emphasize what you want, and focus on that very thing. Friends surround you, but their moods might be volatile and unpredictable. Confusion surrounds a key meeting. Could you be mixing business with pleasure? Tonight: Where the fun is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others can’t seem to concentrate or handle a particular problem. Your popularity skyrockets as others reveal how much they need you and want your support. Be willing to say “no” if need be. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Believe that there is a solution, and you just have not found it yet. Remain confident and detach from the immediate issue. Your inner sense of confusion could be playing an important role in what is happening. Tonight: Follow the music.

Buckeyes’ ultimate goal is still on the table COLUMBUS (AP) — Coming down the stretch, No. 6 Ohio State’s biggest goal — going 12-0 — is still very much within reach. Some of the Buckeyes don’t want to talk about it for fear of jinxing it. Others freely acknowledge that there’d be nothing better than running the table and showing up all of the naysayers after last year’s losing season and a year of NCAA violations, suspensions, sanctions and humiliation. Even coach Urban Meyer — who jokingly chided a reporter for mentioning that Ohio State’s center hasn’t made a bad snap all year — mentions 12-0 to his team. “We know how big it is and it’s rare that you see a team go undefeated,” wide receiver Corey Brown said. “We know that, because (Meyer) talks about it all the time, obviously. This group is hungry enough and everybody wants to do it because we’re all in, all the time. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll do it.” The Buckeyes are banned from going to a bowl game, so it’s a longshot that they could impress enough Associated Press media voters to climb all the way to No. 1 without playing after the regular-season finale on Nov. 24 against No. 23 Michigan. But 12-0? All that requires is coming off a bye week and winning at Wisconsin on Saturday before knocking off the rival Wolverines a week later. “We need to be 12-0,” fullback-turned-linebacker Zach Boren said. “It’s one game at a time. We’re not thinking about injuries, polls (or the fact that) we have nothing after the Team Up North game. We’ve got the two biggest games of the season coming up.” Meyer was asked on Monday if, knowing that his team can’t play in a bowl, he has to fight the urge to think the Buckeyes might miss out on all the national championship talk because there will be no postseason games. “You know, I could lie to you and say that I don’t. Every once in a while (I think about it), but not as much as I thought,” he said. “I’ll hear it and read it once in a while, and I have good friends in the profession that will make a comment, and I’ll think about it for a second. But then I go back to knowing exactly who we were, and you go back to how we’ve won and who we are right now. We’re pretty fortunate where we are. Let’s find a way to get (win) No. 11.” How rare is an unblemished season with no losses or ties? Consider that Ohio State trumpets that it has won seven national championships — yet has only gone unbeaten five times in 122 previous seasons of football. The only perfect seasons have come in 1916, 1944, 1954, 1968 and 2002. In Buckeyes lore, each has its own, distinct flavor, figurehead or fact. The ‘16 team that went 7-0-0 was led by Ohio State’s first great player, halfback Charles “Chic” Harley. Carroll Widdoes was a rookie coach (Paul Brown had left abruptly after the ‘43 season) and Les Horvath became the first of the school’s seven Heisman Trophy winners while going 9-0-0 in ‘44. Fans burned first-year coach Woody Hayes in effigy in 1951, but three years later he led the Buckeyes to a 10-0-0 record. Left halfback Howard “Hopalong” Cassady, who would win the Heisman in 1955, was the star. Hayes’ “Super Sophs” — Jack Tatum, Rex Kern, John Brockington, Leophus Hayden, Larry Zelina, Tim Anderson, Jan White, Jim Stillwagon and others — went 9-0-0 and then beat O.J. Simpson and Southern California 27-16 in the 1969 Rose Bowl. STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — First string, second string or third string, Oklahoma State’s quarterbacks have produced this season. Clint Chelf is just the latest example. Chelf, a fourth-year junior, made his first start Saturday afternoon and threw for 292 yards and four touchdowns as the Cowboys handed West Virginia its fourth straight loss, 55-34. The most talked-about quarterback in the stadium was the Mountaineers’ Geno Smith, who was considered a Heisman Trophy front-runner during their 5-0 start. And he was his usual self Saturday — 36 of 54, 364 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. But Chelf led the Cowboys to an early 14-0 lead and they never gave it up, even after Smith pulled West Virginia within four late in the third quarter. “It’s definitely been tough (as the backup), but I mean any time that you’re a competitor and you want it that bad, it’s going to be like that if you’re the odd man out. I knew that if I got my chance, I’d be ready.” The Cowboys (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) began the year with true freshman Wes Lunt at quarterback. He injured a knee early in the third game and was replaced by redshirt freshman J.W. Walsh, who suffered a season-ending knee injury three weeks ago. Lunt returned but suffered an apparent concussion in a loss to Kansas State last week. Chelf made the most of his chance. “I’m very happy he decided to stay with us,” coach Mike Gundy said. “We thought there was a chance he might leave in the summer. He stayed here. It’s not been easy for him this season, but we’re glad he’s here. “We’ve been very lucky that we’ve had three quarterbacks that started the season with zero experience play as well as they’ve played.” Gundy said Chelf was asked to make decisions on about 50 of the Cowboys’ 66 offensive plays, and he busted only a few of those. He looked most often to Josh Stewart, who had a career-high 172 yards on 13 catches, including touchdowns of 21 and 20 yards. Stewart also scored on a 46yard run. Stedman Bailey caught 14 passes for 225 yards and a score, but the Mountaineers (5-4, 2-4) gave up at least 55 points for the second time in three weeks. The game marked the return of West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, who was the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator before taking the job in Mor- gantown. He was not happy about breakdowns in the kicking game that helped Oklahoma State’s cause. “Making mistakes at home in the Big 12 is going to hurt you enough, but making mistakes on the road in the Big 12 is worse,” he said. Oklahoma State only led 38-34 with 5:20 left in the third quarter after Smith scored on a 1-yard sneak one play after linebacker Terrence Garvin snagged a deflected pass and returned it 42 yards. But the Cowboys got a field goal and two touchdowns on their next three possessions to make the score 55-34 with just under 10 minutes left in the game. Chelf hit Stewart on a 20-yard TD, and Jeremy Smith scored on a 21-yard run. Jeremy Smith’s touchdown came three plays after the Cowboys had stopped West Virginia on fourthand-6 at the Mountaineer’s 39-yard line. Oklahoma State’s defense produced a big stop in the second quarter as well, stuffing Shawne Alston on fourth-and-goal from the 2 with the Cowboys holding a 21-7 lead. Joseph Randle ran for 81 yards to go over the 1,000-yard mark, the sixth straight year an Oklahoma State back has done so. The Cowboys led 28-7 after a first quarter filled with big plays. Stewart took a reverse handoff around the right side and went 46 yards for a touchdown on Oklahoma State’s first drive. Later, he made a diving catch for a 19-yard gain on third-and-2 to keep a drive alive, and finished the drive with a 21-yard TD reception and a 14-0 lead. West Virginia’s first touchdown came not on a pass by Smith, but by backup Paul Millard, who came on after Smith had his helmet knocked off on a sack that left the Mountaineers facing fourth-and-13 at the Oklahoma State 37. Millard was given plenty of time and found Bailey in the end zone to make it 14-7. Josh Gilbert brought the crowd back to life on the next kickoff by returning it 96 yards for a TD— his school-record fifth kick return for a touchdown. Smith threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Tavon Austin in the second quarter to get the Mountaineers within 21-14. But the Cowboys answered with a 48-yard touchdown pass from Chelf to Blake Jackson and, after a muffed kick return by West Virginia, a short field goal to push out to a 3114 lead. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
