Ratz, 84 Donald Robinson, 94 50 cents daily Gardner makes initial court appearance Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — James E. Gardner, who was captured last Friday by deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, appeared in Meigs County Court on Monday afternoon. Gardner, 40, of Middleport, appeared before Judge Steven Story on the charge of theft as charged on Nov. 14. The crime as charged is a felony of the fourth degree. The complaint filed by Meigs County Sheriff Robert E. Beegle states that Gardner, on or about Nov. 11, 2012, did with purpose to deprive the owner of property or services, knowingly obtain Gardner or exert control over either the property or services beyond the scope of the express or implied consent of the owner or person authorized to give consent, said property being listed in sec- tion 4501.01 of the revised code. Gardner is accused of theft involving a 2001 Dodge 2500 pick-up truck according to the complaint. Gardner was arrested around 11 a.m. on Friday near Blessing Road in Gallia County by deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office after nearly a month on the run. Gardner had been wanted by authorities since the suspicious death of his father, James W. Gardner on Nov. 11. The truck, with a red ATV in the bed, was missing from the property when the elder Gardner’s body was found. Witnesses claimed to have seen the younger Gardner driving the truck across the Silver Memorial Bridge just hours following the apparent homicide. Those vehicles, in addition to a motorcycle and a yellow ATV, were recovered in southern Gallia County over the course of the past two weeks. Gardner has been named as a person of interest in the suspicious death of James W. Gardner. The unofficial cause of death has been listed as blunt force trauma, according to Beegle. This case remains under investigation. Charles Knight was appointed to represent Gardner in the theft case. Bond was set at $100,000 as requested by Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams. Gardner did not argue for a lower bond. A preliminary hearing is set for 11:30 a.m. on Thursday in Meigs County Court.

MEIGS COUNTY — Just a few months after receiving word that Meigs County would benefit from a $700,000 grant, it now appears that money may not be coming to the county after all. The Meigs County Commissioners said on Thursday that the county had been awarded the grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the West Virginia Public Port Authority to construct a new Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The grant agreement between the Port of Huntington Tri-State, Area Maritime Security Committee and Meigs County Emergency Services Agency had been signed on March 8, 2012, to award the funding to the county. At the time the agreement was signed — according to the county — it was agreed that the project would be completed in 2014. Two weeks ago, the county was informed that all funds must be spent by Dec. 31, of this year. Given the scope of the project — construction of a 5,000-square-foot EOC — the project cannot be completed in that length of time. Meigs County Commissioner Tim Ihle said since receiving word of the change, he and the other commissioners, along with other officials in the county have contacted many legislators and government officials at the state and federal level to ask for help is resolving the issue. He added that many of those contacted were in support of the county in the matter. Ihle stated that the issue is one of a personnel change which resulted in a different interpretation of the funding. According to a status report on the project in October, the plan was to have bids for the project in late December and to have it completed within a year. Grant specifications on the original paperwork stated that the money had to be spent by Sept. 30 since the grant was a Fiscal Year 2009 program, but multiple letters and emails concerning the deadline stated it should be extended due to the short time between the awarding of funds and the original deadline. A letter sent from Christopher Fleming, Development Coordinator for the West Virginia Public Port Authority, stated his agency, serving as the Fiduciary Agent, was requesting the extension to Dec. 31, 2013. A time line for the work was submitted by Bob Byer, Meigs County Emergency Management Agency Director, earlier this year showed the project to be completed in September 2013, with the building in use by November 2013. Plans were to have the EOC constructed on property provided by the Community Improvement Corporation and located near the newly built Family Healthcare medical office on Pomeroy Pike. RVC Architects, Inc. has provided architectural services for the county with regard to the project and the design of the building.

Member SIPC. �Tuesday, December 11, ,2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Insurance fraud allegations up in Ohio DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Officials say the record number of insurance-fraud allegations in Ohio this year can be partly attributed to better reporting of suspected incidents and difficult economic times that push some people into illegal activity. The Ohio Department of Insurance reports that consumers, insurers, insurance agents, police and others have lodged 4,022 allegations of fraud with the state through Friday. Reports of fraud are up 10 percent compared to all of 2011, and 25 percent from 2010. The increase partly reflects the Department of Insurance’s strengthened efforts to get insurers and the public to report suspected incidents of fraud, agency spokesman Chris Brock said. Fraud also tends to increase when people face serious economic hardships, he said. Despite the record number of allegations, it remains unclear whether or to what degree the increase in reports reflects an increase in fraudulent activity. Criminal indictments, referrals and cases opened and investigated by the Ohio Department of Insurance are not on track to significantly surpass the totals of previous years. The most common types of fraud include false or inflated homeowner and auto claims, staged auto accidents, and bogus slip and fall accidents. Fake health care plans have spread during the economic downturn, and arson remains a problem. Insurance fraud costs U.S. families hundreds of dollars each year in the form of increased premiums, and tens of billions of dollars are paid out annually for fake and exaggerated claims, according to industry and federal estimates. “Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime,” Nationwide In- surance spokeswoman Elizabeth Stelzer told The Dayton Daily News for a story published Monday. “It is a serious issue that affects everyone.” Statistics reported by the newspaper also show the state this year has received about 2,904 allegations of misconduct by insurance agents and agencies. The state launched 1,843 administrative investigations, and about 148 insurance agents and agencies have surrendered their licenses or had them revoked because of wrongdoing. Non-medical insurance fraud costs more than $40 billion per year, and results in the average U.S. family paying $400 to $700 more annually in the form of higher premiums, according to the FBI. Misconduct by insurance agents and agencies also can be expensive and leaves policyholders without coverage because their premiums were diverted. “Insurance fraud is a cost of business, and like any cost of business, it gets passed on to normal consumers in higher premiums,” said James Quiggle, spokesman with the Washingtonbased Coalition Against Insurance Fraud. Obama heading to Michigan to push taxes on rich WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is pressing for public support Monday to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, a day after he and House Speaker John Boehner met one-on-one for the first time to discuss ways to avert the “fiscal cliff.” Neither side provided details of the weekend meeting at the White House. But with just three weeks until a flurry of tax hikes and spending cuts start taking effect, the mere fact that the meeting happened was seen as progress. Negotiations continue to center on whether to raise tax rates for the top 2 percent of income earners. Obama, in a campaign-style speech to auto workers in Michigan on Monday, is expected to stress that he won’t sign a deal that doesn’t include higher tax rates for the wealthiest Americans. While Republicans have long opposed that approach, some GOP lawmakers are suggesting the party relent on taxes in order to win concessions from the president on changes to benefit programs such as Medicare. Still, Boehner’s office indicated Monday that the speaker wasn’t ready to take that step. “The Republican offer made last week remains the Republican offer,” said Brendan Buck, a Boehner spokesman. He was referring to a GOP plan that offered $800 billion in new revenue over the next decade through reducing or eliminating unspecified tax breaks on upperincome earners, but not by raising tax rates. Buck said Republicans were waiting for Obama to identify where he is willing to cut spending. Business leaders, tired of Washington’s partisan bickering creating uncertainty in the marketplace, are emphasizing the need to hammer out a deal before year’s end. “The millions of people that work for us, their lives are in flux. And this is incredibly critical we get this done now,” said Jeffrey Immelt, GE’s chief executive and head of the presidential advisory council on competitiveness. Immelt, in remarks aired Monday on “CBS This Morning,” added: “Everyone knows we need revenue,” because spending cuts alone won’t solve the problem. GOP mavericks are putting increased pressure on their party’s leaders to rethink how they approach negotiations with Obama in the wake of a bruising national election that left Democrats in charge of the White House and Senate. “There is a growing group of folks looking at this and realizing that we don’t have a lot of cards as it relates to the tax issue before year end,” Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., told “Fox News Sunday.” If Republicans agree to Obama’s plan to increase rates on the top 2 percent of Americans, Corker added, “the focus then shifts to entitlements, and maybe it puts us in a place where we actually can do something that really saves the nation.” Conservative stalwart Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma had already floated a similar idea. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., has said Obama and Boehner could at least agree not to raise tax rates on the majority of Americans and negotiate the rates of top earners later. “It’s not waving a white flag to recognize political reality,” Cole said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” But such ideas face an uphill battle. Many House Republicans say they wouldn’t vote for tax rate hikes under any circumstances. And GOP leadership could lose leverage in the negotiations if it raises the rate on upper-income earners without getting anything substantial in return like entitlement reform. Democratic leaders have suggested they are unwilling to tackle entitlement spending in the three weeks left before the fiscal cliff is triggered. “I just don’t think we can do it in a matter of days here before the end of the year,” Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said of Medicare reform specifically, in an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “We need to address that in a thoughtful way through the committee structure after the first of the year,” Durbin added. The “fiscal cliff” refers to rate increases that would affect every worker who pays federal taxes, as well as spending cuts that would begin to bite defense and domestic programs alike. Economists say the combination carries the risk of a new recession, at a time the economy is still struggling to recover fully from the worst slowdown in decades. The president’s message in Michigan will be that the economy is rebounding and Congress should not risk that progress to save tax cuts for the rich. The president will use the Daimler Detroit Diesel plant where he’ll speak to illustrate his point, noting that the company plans to spend an additional $100 million to boost production in the U.S. The president’s re-election campaign also emailed supporters Monday, asking them to call their representatives and urge them to back Obama’s fiscal cliff plan, even suggesting a script they could read. It’s the latest example of the White House trying to put its massive voter database to use during the fiscal cliff negotiations in the same way it did during the presidential campaign. Obama’s plan would raise $1.6 trillion in revenue over 10 years, partly by letting decade-old tax cuts on the country’s highest earners expire at the end of the year. He would continue those Bush-era tax cuts for everyone except individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000. The highest rates on top-paid Americans would rise from 33 percent and 35 percent to 36 percent and 39.6 percent, respectively. Boehner’s plan, in addition to calling for $800 billion in new revenues, also would cut spending by $1.4 trillion, including by trimming annual increases in Social Security payments and raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67. McAfee wants to return Report sees middle class to US, ‘normal life’ BACALAR, Mexico (AP) — Software company founder John McAfee said Sunday he wants to return to the United States and “settle down to whatever normal life” he can. In a live-stream Internet broadcast from the Guatemalan detention center where he is fighting a government order that he be returned to Belize, the 67-year-old said “I simply would like to live comfortably day by day, fish, swim, enjoy my declining years.” Police in neighboring Belize want to question McAfee in the fatal shooting of a U.S. expatriate who lived near his home on a Belizean island in November. The creator of the McAfee antivirus program again denied involvement in the killing during the Sunday Internet video hook-up, during which he answered what he said were reporters’ questions. His comments were sometimes contradictory. McAfee is an acknowledged practical joker who has dabbled in yoga, ultralight aircraft and the production of herbal medications. The British-born McAfee first said that returning to the United States “is my only hope now.” But he later added, “I would be happy to go to England, I have dual citizenship.” He was emphatic that “I cannot ever return to Belize … There is no hope for my life if I am ever returned to Belize.” “If I am returned,” he said, “bad things will clearly happen to me.” He descibed the health problems that had him briefly hospitalized earlier this week after Guatemalan authorities detained him for entering the country illegally. He apparently snuck in across a rural, unguarded spot along the border. “I did not eat for two days, I drank very little liquids, and for the first time in many years I’ve been smoking almost nonstop,” he said. “I stood up, passed out hit my head on the wall, came to,” though he now said he was feeling better. McAfee praised the role his 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend, Samantha Vanegas, played in his escape from Belize, where he claims he is being persecuted by corrupt politicians. Authorities in Belize deny that they are persecuting him and have questioned his mental state. “Sam saved the day many times” during their escape, he said, and suggested he would take her with him to the United States if he is allowed to go there. He confirmed that journalists from Vice magazine who accompanied him on his escape after weeks of hiding in Belize had unwittingly posted photos with embedded data that revealed his exact location. “It was an error anyone could make,” he said, noting they were under a lot of pressure at the time. McAfee has led an eccentric life since he sold his stake in the software company named after him in the early 1990s and moved to Belize about three years ago to lower his taxes. He told The New York Times in 2009 that he had lost all but $4 million of his $100 million fortune in the U.S. financial crisis. However, a story on the Gizmodo website quoted him as describing that claim as “not very accurate at all.” gains, resource shortages WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities by 2030, with most people middle class, connected by technology, protected by advanced health care and linked by countries that work together, perhaps with the United States and China cooperating to lead the way. That’s the best case scenario in a report, Global Trends 2030, released Monday by the U.S. government’s National Intelligence Council.

Power will no longer reside with one or two key nations, but be spread across networks and coalitions of countries working together. In countries where there are declining birth rates and an aging population like the U.S., economic growth may slow. Sixty percent of the world’s population will live in cities.

But don’t tell that to small business owners facing a tax hike. Obama’s proposal would hit about 940,000 people who report business income on their individual or household returns, says the Joint Committee on Taxation, the official scorekeeper for Congress. That’s only 3.5 percent of the people who report business income, but those business owners are projected to earn 53 percent of the $1.3 trillion in business income that will be reported on individual returns next year. That, Republicans in Congress argue, makes those business owners an important engine for economic growth and job creation. They recite it as gospel: Paying higher taxes will reduce the amount of profits business owners would otherwise re-invest in their companies, making them less likely to expand and hire more workers. Many economists agree that tax increases in general limit economic growth. But there are big disagreements about magnitude — how much relatively small changes in the top two income tax rates would affect the economy and job creation. The Congressional Budget Office estimated last month that Obama’s plan to increase taxes only on top earners would reduce economic growth by 0.1 percent of Gross Domestic Product next year, or about $16 billion. That translates into about 200,000 fewer jobs. By comparison, letting all the tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 expire would reduce economic growth by 1.4 percent of GDP, resulting in about 1.8 million fewer jobs, the CBO said. “It’s a very tiny portion of the cliff impact and it very much raises revenues and it does so in a fair way,” Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, senior Democrat on the taxwriting House Ways and Means Committee, said of Obama’s proposal. “It will not stifle economic growth in any significant way.” Most of the expiring tax cuts were first enacted under former President George W. Bush and extended by Obama in 2010. This time around, Obama says he is determined to let the tax cuts expire on income above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for married couples. He wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for people making less. House Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans have said they are open to more tax revenue through reducing or eliminating tax breaks. But Boehner opposes Obama’s proposal to increase tax rates on high earners. “Raising taxes on small businesses instead of taking a balanced approach that also cuts spending is wrong,” Boehner, said recently. “It’s only going to make it harder for our economy to grow. And if our economy doesn’t grow, Americans don’t get new jobs and the debt problem that we have will continue to threaten our children’s future.” Republicans often relate the tax increases to small businesses because 94 percent of America’s businesses are structured so that profits go directly to partners or shareholders who report the income on their individual tax returns. It’s a way for business owners to avoid paying taxes twice on the same income — once at the corporate level and again when profits are distributed as dividends. Under Obama’s plan, the 33 percent tax rate would rise to 36 percent on taxable income above $231,000 for a married couple filing jointly. The top tax rate would increase from 35 percent to 39.6 percent on taxable income above $397,000. Obama’s plan also would phase out the personal exemption and gradually reduce itemized deductions for individuals making more than $200,000 and married couples making more than $250,000. The top capital gains tax rate would rise from 15 percent to 20 percent. Qualified dividends, which are now taxed at a top rate of 15 percent, would be taxed as ordinary income for top earners, or at a top rate of 39.6 percent.

Business owners note that they often pay taxes on profits they don’t necessarily receive. For example, if you borrow money to start or expand your business, you can use some of your profits to repay the loan, but only the interest portion of the loan payment is tax deductible. When business owners use profits to buy new equipment or make other upgrades, it often takes several years to write off the cost of those upgrades, depending on depreciation rules. Dan McGregor, chairman of McGregor Metalworking Companies in Springfield, Ohio, said he and the other six shareholders in the business are looking at a tax increase of $250,000 to $300,000 next year under Obama’s plan. Under Obama’s plan to increase the top two income tax rates, a taxpayer would have to have an income of around $4 million — depending on how it’s structured — to face a tax increase of $250,000. McGregor’s company, which has 365 employees at five locations, does about $80 million a year in sales, McGregor said. Each year, a portion of the profits are distributed to shareholders, along with money to pay taxes. The rest, he said, is invested back into the company. If taxes go up, distributions to shareholders must go up to pay the higher taxes, leaving less money to reinvest in the business, McGregor said. “I feel a $40,000 reduction is the loss of one job, so if it’s a $200,000 tax increase, that’s five jobs,” McGregor said. The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — When Jack Baker proposed to Michael McConnell that they join their lives together as a couple, in March 1967, McConnell accepted with a condition that was utterly radical for its time: that someday they would legally marry. Just a few years later, the U.S. Supreme Court slammed the door on the men’s Minnesota lawsuit to be the first same-sex couple to legally marry in the U.S. It took another 40 years for the nation’s highest court to revisit gay marriage rights, and Baker and McConnell — still together, still living in Minneapolis — are alive to see it. On Friday, the justices decided to take a potentially historic look at gay marriage by agreeing to hear two cases that challenge official discrimination against gay Americans either by forbidding them from marrying or denying those who can marry legally the right to obtain federal benefits that are available to heterosexual married couples. “The outcome was never in doubt because the conclusion was intuitively obvious to a first-year law student,” Baker wrote in an email to The Associated Press. The couple, who have kept a low profile in the years since they made national headlines with their marriage pursuit, declined an interview request but responded to a few questions via email. While Baker saw the court’s action as an obvious step, marriage between two men was nearly unthinkable to most Americans decades earlier when the couple walked into the Hennepin County courthouse in Minneapolis on May 18, 1970, and tried to get a license. New York City’s Stonewall riots, seen now as the symbolic start to the modern gay rights movement, were less than a year in the past. Sodomy laws made gay sex illegal in nearly every state; most gay men and lesbians were concerned with much more basic rights like keeping their jobs and homes or simply living openly. “People at the time said these guys were crazy,” said Phil Duran, legal counsel to OutFront Minnesota, the state’s principal gay rights lobby. “I think today, most people would say, ‘Holy mackerel, you saw this when no one else did.’ History will vindicate them. It already has.” Forty years after they appeared in a “Look” magazine spread and on “The Phil Donahue Show,” Baker and McConnell have retreated from public life. The men, both 70, live in a quiet, nondescript south Minneapolis neighborhood. McConnell recently retired after a long career with the Hennepin County library system. Baker, a longtime attorney who ran unsuccessfully for Minneapolis City Council and a judgeship in the years after they pursued a marriage license, is mostly retired as well. Their case is no longer widely recalled in Minnesota, and the couple has mostly withdrawn from open activism, although the two men are working on a book about their lives. Today, nine states have legalized gay marriage or are about to do so. The state-by-state approach adopted by gay rights groups has gathered steam, while the Supreme Court has yet to revisit its slim holding in Baker v. Nelson or address whether the Constitution 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. extends marriage rights to straight and gay couples alike. The high court in October 1972 declined to hear arguments in Baker v. Nelson, rejecting it in a one-sentence dismissal “for want of a substantial federal question.” Now, in taking up the dispute over the California constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, the court may confront the issue of whether the U.S. Constitution forbids states from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. “I am convinced that same-sex marriage will be legalized in the United States,” Baker told a group of lawyers on Oct. 21, 1971, quoted then by the St. Paul Pioneer Press (in a story that described him as an “admitted homosexual”). But for years after the high court refused to hear arguments in Baker v. Nelson, its single sentence was cited as precedent by federal courts that ruled against same-sex unions. According to an unpublished book about their case by Ken Bronson, a Chicago-based amateur historian who extensively interviewed Baker and McConnell, the two met at a Halloween party in Norman, Okla., in 1966. McConnell, at this first meeting, expressed his belief that gay people should not be treated like second-class citizens. Not long after, Baker —a U.S. Air Force veteran with an undergraduate degree in engineering — was fired from a job at Tinker Air Force base for being gay. Soon the couple relocated to Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota, McConnell to take a job at its library and Baker to study law. He joined a campus group called FREE (Fight Repression of Erotic Expression), an early gay-rights group. “The fear then wasn’t that you’d be discriminated against, that was a given,” said Jean Tretter, a member of FREE who went on to decades of gay activism in Minnesota. “You were a lot more afraid that someone might come after you with a shotgun.” Baker and McConnell — educated, cleancut and handsome — contrasted with the typically scruffy counterculture activists of the era. But the Hennepin County attorney blocked their bid for a marriage license, a decision upheld by a district judge and affirmed by the state Supreme Court with reasoning that echoes in today’s arguments against gay marriage: “The institution of marriage as a union of man and woman, uniquely involving the procreation and rearing of children within a family, is as old as the Book of Genesis.” Asked via email why they pursued the case, Baker wrote, “The love of my life insisted on it.” It was a stormy time for the couple. Soon after McConnell relocated to Minnesota, the University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents yanked his job offer because he was openly gay; the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his separate lawsuit to get it back. In April 1971, amid both legal dramas, Baker was elected and then a year later re-elected as president of the university’s student government. Two decades after the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed Baker v. Nelson, the Hawaii Supreme Court in 1993 ruled that homosexuals had a constitutional right to marry. It started the ball rolling on a movement that has seen many victories and setbacks since.

I’ve asked her not to do these things, but she just laughs and says, “Sorry, but that’s what I do.” She seems like a normal person otherwise, but definitely is a multitasker. What else can I do? — R.K. Dear R.K.: For starters, you can stop driving with her until you feel you’re not taking your life in your hands by going out to lunch. Offer to drive each time you do something, if you don’t want to be confrontational. Eventually she will ask why you don’t let her drive, and you can tell her the truth. Honestly, she has not shown much consideration for your feelings or safety, so I wouldn’t worry too much about how to approach her — just get the message across. I’m sure she doesn’t want to lose your friendship, so give it your best shot. The results of a new survey should help back you up, and the news isn’t good. Chances are your friend is likely to encounter many other drivers with the same ugly habits while she’s out and about, and that means she is constantly defying the odds. In its annual online survey of about 1,000 licensed drivers over 18, the latest survey shows that texting, outlawed in nearly 40 states, nevertheless continues to grow in popularity, especially among people under 30. At least one-third of drivers text as they go, and surfing the Web also has risen in popularity to nearly half of younger drivers. Distracted driving has resulted in more than 3,000 deaths per year and hundreds of thousands of injuries. I hope a word to the wise is sufficient.

Morrison Gymnasium. The host Marauders (12) led 12-11 after eight minutes of play, but the Raiders (1-2) rallied with a 15-10 surge in the second half to claim a 26-22 advan- tage headed into the intermission. MHS gained control of the contest in the third canto with a 14-5 run, allowing the Maroon and Gold to claim a 36-31 lead headed into the finale. The Marauders sank 8-of-12 free throws in the fourth en route to a 16-10 run, which wrapped up the 11-point triumph. Meigs connected on 20of-52 field goal attempts overall for 38 percent, including a 3-of-10 effort from three-point range for 30 percent. The hosts finished the night 9-of-16 at the free throw line for 56 percent and outrebounded the Raiders by a 30-22 overall margin, including an 11-4 edge on the offensive glass. Jared Williamson led the Marauders with gamehighs of 15 points and seven rebounds, followed by Dillon Boyer with 13 points and Treay McKinney with 11 markers. Jordan Hutton added five points to the winning cause, while Dustin Ulbrich chipped in four markers. Kaileb Sheets and Alex Morris rounded out the scoring with two points apiece. MHS had 22 turnovers in the victory. The Raiders connected on 14-of-43 field goal attempts for 32 percent, including a 4-of-16 effort from three-point range for 25 percent.

Scott Terna | Cal Sport Media | Zuma Press | MCT photo Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel poses with the Heisman Trophy Saturday in New York, New York. Manziel is first freshman to win Heisman Trophy NEW YORK (AP) — He’s Johnny Best in Football now — and a freshman, at that. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first newcomer to win the Heisman Trophy, taking college football’s top individual prize Saturday night after a record-breaking debut. Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o finished a distant second in the voting and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein was third. In a Heisman race with two nontraditional candidates, Manziel broke through the class ceiling and kept Te’o from becoming the first purely defensive player to win the award. “That barrier’s broken now,” Manziel said. “It’s starting to become more of a trend that freshmen are coming in early and that they are ready to play. And they are really just taking the world by storm.” None more than the guy they call Johnny Football. Manziel drew 474 firstplace votes and 2,029 points from the panel of media members and former winners. Te’o had 321 first-place votes and 1,706 points and Klein received 60 firsts and 894 points. “I have been dreaming about this since I was a kid, running around the backyard pretending I was Doug Flutie, throwing Hail Marys to my dad,” he said after hugging his parents and kid sister. Flutie was one of many Heisman winners standing behind Manziel as he gave his speech on stage at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. “I always wanted to be in a fraternity,” Manziel said later. “Now I get to be in the most prestigious one in the entire world.” Manziel was so nervous waiting for the winner to be announced, he wondered if the television cameras could see his heart pounding beneath his navy blue pinstripe suit. But he seemed incredibly calm after, hardly resembling the guy who dashes around the football field on Saturday. He simply bowed his head, and later gave the trophy a quick kiss. “It’s such an honor to represent Texas A&M, and my teammates here tonight. I wish they could be on the stage with me,” he said with a wide smile, concluding his speech like any good Aggie: “Gig’ em.” Just a few days after turning 20, Manziel proved times have truly changed in college football, and that experience can be really overrated. For years, seniors dominated the award named after John Heisman, the pioneering Georgia Tech coach from the early 1900s. In the 1980s, juniors started becoming common winSee TROPHY ‌| 8 OVP Sports Schedule Tuesday, Dec. 11 Boys Basketball Athens at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. River Valley at Rock Hill, 6 p.m. Wahama at South Gallia, 6 p.m. Waterford at Southern, 6 p.m. OVCS at Wayne, 7:30 Ripley at Point Pleasant, 6 p.m. Hannan at Van, 6 p.m. Girls Basketball Vinton County at Meigs, 6 p.m. Grace Christian at Hannan, 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12 Girls Basketball Point Pleasant at Greenbrier East, 6 p.m. Wrestling Athens at Gallia Academy, 6 p.m. URG Sports Men’s Basketball at Campbell University, 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13 Girls Basketball Alexander at Meigs, 6 p.m. River Valley at Fairland, 6 p.m. South Gallia at Wahama, 6 p.m. Federal Hocking at Eastern, 6 p.m. OVCS at Ironton SJ, 6 p.m. Southern at Belpre, 6 p.m. Swimming River Valley at Wheelersburg, 5:30 Bryan Walters | Daily Sentinel Pictured above are members of the 2012-13 Gallia Academy varsity wrestling team.

McMaster leads RedStorm in blowout win Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande men’s basketball team snapped a fourgame losing slide with its most lopsided victory in almost a decade, cruising to a 109-46 victory over Ohio UniversityLancaster as part of the 7th Annual Newt Oliver Coaches Classic, Saturday evening, at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm, which improved to 4-6 with the victory, connected on a season-high 14 three-point goals and shot a season- high 59.4 percent from the field (41-for-69). The 109 points scored by head coach Ken French’s squad were the most since a 109-82 win over Ohio University-Chillicothe in the 2011-12 season opener on November 4, 2011. The 63-point margin of victory was the largest for the RedStorm since a 113-29 thrashing of Washington Bible College on November 8, 2003. Rio Grande took a 3-0 lead just 24 seconds into the contest thanks to a three-pointer by freshman forward Austin McMaster before the Cougars tied the game at the 18:55 mark on a trifecta of their own by George Collins. McMaster followed with a layup just 23 seconds later, though, to give the RedStorm the lead for good. Rio opened up a 50-24 lead at the intermission and led by as many as 66 points with one minute remaining in the contest. McMaster, who scored the RedStorm’s first 10 points and 15 of the team’s first 17 markers, finished with a game- and careerhigh 25 points on 10-for13 shooting, including a 4-for-6 performance from beyond the three-point arc. See WIN |‌ 10 Trophy From Page 6 ners. Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win it in 2007, and two more won it in the next two seasons. Adrian Peterson had come closest as a freshman, finishing second to Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart in 2004. But it took 78 years for a newbie to take home the big bronze statue. “It doesn’t matter anymore,” he said. Peterson was a true freshman for Oklahoma. As a redshirt freshmen, Manziel attended school and practiced with the team last year, but did not play in any games. He’s the second player from Texas A&M to win the Heisman, joining John David Crow from 1957, and did so without the slightest hint of preseason hype. Manziel didn’t even win the starting job until two weeks before the season. Who needs hype when you can fill-up a highlight reel the way Manziel can? With daring runs and elusive improvisation, Manziel broke 2010 Heisman winner Cam Newton’s Southeastern Conference record with 4,600 total yards, led the Aggies to a 10-2 in their first season in the SEC and orchestrated an upset at then-No. 1 Alabama in November that stamped him as legit. He has thrown for 3,419 yards and 24 touchdowns and run for 1,181 yards and 19 more scores to become the first freshman, first SEC player and fifth player overall to throw for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 in a season. “You can put his numbers up against anybody who has ever played the game,” Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. Manziel has one more game this season, when the No. 10 Aggies play Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 4. As for the Heisman, Manziel said he’d like to keep it right next to his bed. “But I’m in college. A lot of people come through the house. We live in a college neighborhood. It might not be a good idea. If I can get a case that’s indestructible, locked and looks pretty good, we’ll see where I keep it,” he said. The resume alone fails to capture the Johnny Football phenomena. At 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, Manziel is master of the unexpected, darting here and there, turning plays seemingly doomed to failure into touchdowns. Take, for example, what he did in the first quarter against the Crimson Tide. Manziel took a shotgun snap, stepped up in the pocket as if he was about to take off on another made scramble and ran into the back a lineman. On impact, Manziel bobbled the ball, caught it with his back to the line of scrimmage, turned, rolled the opposite direction and fired a touchdown pass — throwing across his body — to a wideopen receiver. He might as well have been back in Kerrville, Texas, where he became a hill country star in high school. His road to college stardom was anything but a clear path. Manziel competed with two other quarterbacks to replace Miscellaneous Ryan Tannehill as the starter this season, the Aggies’ first in the SEC and first under Sumlin. Manziel came out of spring practice as the backup, but became the starter in August. Still, nobody was hailing him is the next big thing. Did Sumlin think he had a Heisman winner on his hands? “No,” he said emphatically, adding, “Not this year.” Then Manziel started playing and the numbers started piling up. He also had some struggles against Florida in the season opener and in a home loss to LSU. The question was: Could he do his thing against a topnotch opponent? The answer came in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Nov. 10. Going into the matchup against the Crimson Tide, Manziel said he and his teammates heard a lot of doubters. “You can’t do this and you can’t do that,” he recalled Saturday at the podium Manziel passed for 253 yards, ran for 92 and the Aggies beat the Tide 29-24. Klein had been the front-runner for most of the season, but Manziel surged after beating ‘Bama. Still, Manziel was still something of a mystery man. Sumlin’s rules prohibit freshmen from being available to the media. Manziel was off-limits, but not exactly silent. Manziel gave glimpses of himself on social media — including some memorable pictures of him dressed up as Scooby-Doo for Halloween with some scantily clad young women. Before he became a celebrity, Manziel got himself into some serious trouble. In June, he was arrested in College Station after police said he was involved in a fight and produced a fake ID. He was charged with disorderly conduct and two other misdemeanors. After the season, Texas A&M took the reins off Manziel and made him available for interviews, allowing him to tell his own tale. Though in the end, his play said it all. �Tuesday, December 11, ,2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, december 11, 2012 Comics ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s 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, Dec. 11, 2012: This year your intensity has an impact, especially on those you know.

MARION, Ind. — Indiana Wesleyan University, the number two ranked women’s basketball team in NAIA Division II, jumped to a 13-point halftime lead and continued to pull away in the second half, cruising to a 64-41 win over the University of Rio Grande, Saturday afternoon, in the final round of the Leah Whittaker Memorial Classic at Luckey Arena. The Wildcats improved to 12-0 with the victory. Rio Grande dropped its seventh consecutive decision and fell to 2-8 overall. The RedStrom took a 2-0 lead on a short jumper in the lane by junior guard Kate Hammond just 65 seconds into the contest, but IWU tied the game moments later on its ensuing possession and took the lead for good on a bucket by Paige Smith with 17:36 left in the opening half. The Wildcats extended their lead to 13 points, 28-15, at the intermission thanks in large part to Rio Grande’s ice-cold shooting touch. Head coach David Smalley’s club hit just five of its 24 shots from the field in the opening stanza (20.8 percent). Hammond scored the first points of the second half as well, drawing the RedStorm to within 11 points just 15 seconds into the period, but that’s as close as they’d get the rest of the way. IWU’s advantage grew to as many as 29 points, 62-33, with just under five minutes to play. Taylor Goshert led the Wildcats with 13 points, while Smith added 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds. Claire Ray added 11 points to the winning effort, while Emma Stahl handed out a game-high six assists and finished with a team-high three steals. Hammond netted 13 points and was the only shot just 27.4 percent for the game (17for-62) and was outrebounded 55-24. Patrick Blevins scored 14 points to lead the Cougars, while Collins finished with 11. Rio Grande returns to action Monday afternoon when it opens a week-long, four-game NBA-style road trip at Salem (W.Va.) International University. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m. The road swing will also be comprised of an exhibition game in North Carolina against NCAA Division I Campbell University on Wednesday night and a subsequent trek to Florida for meetings with Embry-Riddle University on Friday night and Warner University next Saturday.
