Trocino 50 cents daily TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 229 NatureWorks grant awarded for Mulberry Pond Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — A NatureWorks grant of $12,374 has been awarded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for further improvements at the Mulberry Pond in Pomeroy. State and federal grant funds for community based outdoor projects including the one for the Mulberry Pond and two in Gallia County have been awarded for 105 projects across Ohio totaling about $2.5 million. The Gallia County projects include $6,600 for sidewalk and shelter house improvements at the Cheshire Village Park , and $6,000 for Haskins Park in Gallipolis for the addition of picnic tables. This latest NatureWorks grant for the Mulberry Pond project is designated for developing a pier and extending an existing walkway. The new funding with some local match will be used for completing a walkway around the pond. It will include a bridge across the far end of the pond where there is a cave and a waterfall from Beech Grove Cemetery. Work on improving the pond and developing the area around it into a park got underway a number of years ago when a man by the name of Jim Smith who had grown up fishing with his Dad at the pond, returned to live in Pomeroy after retiring from a job in Columbus. He was determined to see that the pond was improved and the area developed to provide a place for families to enjoy. Working with then Mayor John Musser, the two began searching for funding to make improvements. With some village match, a Nature Works Grant was secured, other state funds were secured, donations were solicited locally, businesses became involved and labor was donated to do much of the required work. Musser named Smith chairman of the project. The pond itself was cleaned up and stocked with fish, a five foot wide, 175 foot handicapped accessible ramp was built on the left hand side of the lake and another one was started on the right hand side. Six benches donated in memory or tribute to residents were put in place, two picnic tables were donated by the Carpenters See GRANT ‌| 5 A day of remembrance Charlene Hoeflich | Point Pleasant Register Jim Smith fishes off the 175-foot walkway built on the left side of the pond. The new NatureWorks grant will make it possible to continue with the plan to unite that walkway with the one on the opposite side by a bridge across the pond near the waterfall at the back. Drug charges filed against Crown City man Montgomery also accused of aiding Meigs murder suspect Staff Report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — A Crown City man accused of aiding James E. Gardner as he eluded law enforcement following the death of his father in Meigs County last month was recently arraigned in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County in an unrelated case. Lyndon M. Montgomery, Sr., 51, was arrested Nov. 30 after it was discovered that he had been providing transportation and shelter to Gardner, who had been fleeing police officers fol- This past Saturday marked the 45th anniversary of the Silver Bridge collapse which killed 46 people who were waiting on the structure to cross the Ohio River. A standing-room only crowd filed into the Point Pleasant River Museum for the remembrance ceremony during which each name of the 46 victims was read and a candle lit in their honor. Several surviving family members lit candles in memory of their loved ones, including Carolyn Harris (at front) who lost her threeyear old son, James Timothy Meadows, in the collapse. Pictured alongside Harris are Point Pleasant Mayor Brian Billings and Alice Click who read the names of the victims. A more in depth look at the recent remembrance ceremony will be featured in Saturday’s Point Pleasant Register and the next Sunday Times-Sentinel. lowing his father’s suspicious death on Nov. 11. Gardner, 41, of Middleport, was arrested on Dec. 7 by Gallia County Sheriff’s Deputies in the southern portion of Gallia County following a lengthy, multiagency man hunt. He had been wanted in Meigs County as a “person of interest” in the murder of James W. Gardner, 67. The senior Gardner was found dead in his Paulins Hill Road home — a home he shared with his son — in Rutland Township near the Gallia-Meigs County line. The unofficial cause of death in this case has been deemed as blunt force trauma. Following his arrest, the younger Gardner appeared in the Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Thursday and was charged with See CHARGES ‌| 5 McCallister pleads to voluntary manslaughter Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — One of the men accused in the 2011 murder of René Gonzalez of Gallipolis Ferry has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. The plea came at the eleventh hour, literally an hour before opening arguments were to begin in the murder trial of Chad W. McCallister, 31, Apple Grove. McCallister, who appeared before Judge David Nibert on Friday in Mason County Circuit Court, entered his plea which includes a mandatory jail sentence of 10 years. Nibert will review the plea agreement before Photos by Beth Sergent | Point Pleasant Register sentencing at 10 a.m., Jan. 18. Counsel for McCallister, Jeff Woods, said his client felt taking the plea agreement outweighed the risk of taking a chance on a conviction and a sentence of life in jail, without mercy. After McCallister entered his plea, Prosecuting Attorney Damon Morgan summarized the state’s evidence, saying the state was prepared to argue the night before Gonzalez’s murder, Gonzalez and McCallister were involved in an altercation. Morgan said the state was further prepared to argue the day after this altercation, McCallister summoned the alleged shooter, See PLEADS ‌| 5 Nurse educator inducted as fellow in National League Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Dr. Mary Hysell Lynd, graduate of Rutland High School and the Holzer School of Nursing, has been inducted as a fellow into the Academy of Nursing Education in Anaheim, Calif., a prestigious national nursing honor awarded by the National League for Nursing.

Registration is open now � WE CAN HELP YOU AVOID BANKRUPTCY Christine Armario AP Education Writer Lilly Rosell contemplated keeping her 7-year-old daughter at home on the first day of classes since the Connecticut elementary school massacre, but she ultimately decided, like so many other parents, there was only so much she could do to keep her daughter safe. “I’m panicking here to be honest,” Rosell, of Miami, said as she anxiously surveyed her daughter’s campus. “It’s now about being in the prayer closet a little more often.” Most of the nation fell back into the familiar, if newly raw, routine of dropping off children at school, all too aware that a mass shooting can happen anywhere, at any time.

At least three schools were on alert in Ohio after threatening comments were made on Facebook and Twitter. In Ridgefield, Conn., swarms of parents picked up their children and police were at each school after a report of a suspicious person at a nearby train station. In Philadelphia, officers rushed to a high school after security officers mistook a student’s umbrella for a gun. And in Tampa, Fla., the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office questioned students after a bullet was found on a school bus. Some parents kept their kids at home. Camille Lacroix-Moulton said her two children both woke up feeling a bit under the weather, so she decided it was best for them to stay home. Her daughter is in kindergarten; her son is in fifth grade. “Mainly because of my little one. She just turned six, and I don’t want her to hear about it,” the Milford, N.H., mother said. “It wasn’t really me thinking, ‘Today’s the day that something bad’s gonna happen to her. It was more like, a lot of this stuff is going on today. I’m sure a lot of kids know about it, even at her age. So I was more than happy to wait a day and let it die down.” Chicago resident Melissa Tucker said she only sent her children to school after assurances from administrators that extra safety precautions were made. “I was actually going to keep them home today,” she said. One school district in western Pennsylvania went so far as to get a court or- der over the weekend so it could arm officers in each of its schools Monday. The board had recently voted to let officers have guns but decided to expedite the process. The court order affected the Butler Area School District and the South Butler County School District, both about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh. Schools held a moment of silence and flew flags at half-staff. Meanwhile, teachers and administrators tried to handle the psychological toll of the shooting, many of them opting for routine rather than a discussion about the shooting. At the Global Concepts Charter School in Lackawanna, N.Y., near Buffalo, Principal David Ehrle fielded calls from parents who told him they had shielded their children from news coverage over the weekend. The parents wanted to know whether the kids would hear about it from their teachers. He told them they would not. “Certainly, you can’t stop kids from talking on the bus or at the lunch table, but as a school we’re not, if you will, sponsoring educating about it,” he said. Ehrle said teachers at the kindergarten through eighth-grade school were told to assure kids who asked that the school was safe and send any apprehensive students to a counselor if necessary. “Often, normalcy is the most comforting thing for the students,” he said. “That was the message that we sent out over the weekend to the staff is, that we need to continue on doing what we’ve always done.” �Tuesday, December 18, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page A3 www.mydailysentinel.com Newtown holds the first funerals for the victims NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — A grief-stricken Newtown on Monday began burying the littlest victims of the school massacre, starting with two 6-year-old boys — one of them a big football fan, the other a mischievous, whip-smart youngster whose twin sister survived the rampage. Family, friends and townspeople streamed to two funeral homes to say goodbye to Jack Pinto, who loved the New York Giants and idolized their star wide receiver, and Noah Pozner, who liked to figure out how things worked mechanically. “If Noah had not been taken from us, he would have become a great man. He would been a wonderful husband and a loving father,” his uncle Alexis Haller told mourners, according to remarks he provided to The Associated Press. Both services were closed to the news media. Noah’s twin, Arielle, who was assigned to a different classroom, survived the killing frenzy by 20-year-old Adam Lanza that left 20 children and six adults dead last week at Sandy Hook Elementary in an attack so horrifying that authorities cannot say whether the school will ever reopen. As investigators worked to figure out what drove Lanza to lash out with such fury — and why he singled out the school — federal agents said that the young man had fired guns at shooting ranges over the past several years but that there was no evidence he did so recently as practice for the rampage. At Jack’s Christian service, hymns rang out from inside the funeral home, where the boy lay in an open casket. Jack was one of the youngest members of the Newtown youth wrestling association, and dozens of boys in gray Newtown Wrestling T-shirts were at the funeral, as was his coach. A mourner, Gwendolyn Glover, said the service carried a message of comfort and protection, particularly for other children. “The message was: You’re secure now. The worst is over,” she said. The funeral program bore a quotation from the Book of Revelation: “God shall wipe away all tears. There shall be no more death. Neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.” A rabbi presided at Noah’s service, and in keeping with Jewish tradition, the boy was laid to rest in a simple brown wooden casket adorned with a Star of David. His uncle described him as a smart, funny and mischievous child who loved animals and Mario Brothers video games, and liked to tease his sisters by telling them he worked in a taco factory. “It is unspeakably tragic that none of us can bring Noah back,” Haller said. “We would go to the ends of the earth to do so, but none of us can. What we can do is carry Noah within us, always. We can remember the joy he brought to us. We can hold his memory close to our hearts. We can treasure him forever.” At both funeral homes, people wrestled with the same questions as the rest of the country — what steps could and should be taken to prevent something like the massacre from happening again. “If people want to go hunting, a single-shot rifle does the job, and that does the job to protect your home, too. If you need more than that, I don’t know what to say,” Ray DiStephan said outside Noah’s funeral. He added: “I don’t want to see my kids go to schools that become maximum-security fortresses. That’s not the world I want to live in, and that’s not the world I want to raise them in.” With more funerals planned this week, the road ahead for Newtown, which had already started taking down Christmas decorations in a joyful season turned mournful, was clouded. “I feel like we have to get back to normal, but I don’t know if there is normal anymore,” said Kim Camputo, mother of two children, 5 and 10, who attend a different school. “I’ll definitely be dropping them off and picking them up myself for a while.” Lanza shot his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their home, then took her car and some of her guns to the school, where he broke in and opened fire on two classrooms with a high-powered rifle. He committed suicide as police closed in. He was wearing all black, with an olive-drab utility vest with lots of pockets. A Connecticut official said Lanza’s mother — a gun enthusiast who practiced at shooting ranges — was found dead in her pajamas in bed, shot four times in the head with a .22-caliber rifle. Debora Seifert, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said both Lanza and his mother fired at shooting ranges, and also visited ranges together. “We do not have any indication at this time that the shooter engaged in shooting activities in the past six months,” Seifert told the AP. Police have found no letters or diaries that could shed light on why Lanza went on his rampage. Investigators are looking at his computer and his phone and credit card records for clues. Ohio governor spares condemned obese killer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The governor on Monday sidestepped a decision about whether a condemned inmate was too fat to be humanely executed by sparing the prisoner on the grounds that he had poor legal representation. Gov. John Kasich’s decision to grant clemency to Ronald Post mirrored the recommendation of mercy by the state parole board, which said it didn’t doubt Post’s guilt but said there were too many problems with how he was represented 30 years ago. Post, who weighs 450 pounds, never raised the issue of his size with the board. And Kaisch, who commuted Post’s sentence to life with no chance of parole, didn’t mention Post’s obesity claim in his statement. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor didn’t consider Post’s obesity claim. The governor said all criminal defendants, regardless of the heinousness of the crimes, deserve an adequate defense. “This decision should not be viewed by anyone as diminishing this awful crime or the pain it has caused,” Kasich said. Post’s attorneys applauded the decision. The parole board and Kasich “rightly recognized that, in cases in which the state seeks to execute one of its citizens, our justice system simply must work better than it did in Mr. Post’s case,” said public defenders Joe Wilhelm and Rachel Troutman. In its Friday decision, the parole board rejected arguments made by Post’s attorneys that he deserves mercy because of lingering doubts about his “legal and moral guilt” in a woman’s death, but it said it couldn’t ignore perceived mis- steps by his lawyers. Post was scheduled to die Jan. 16 for killing Elyria motel clerk Helen Vantz in a 1983 robbery. “Post took Vantz’s life, devastating the lives of her loved ones in the process,” the board said in its 5-3 decision. But it said a majority of its members agreed his sentence should be commuted to life in prison without chance of parole because of omissions, missed opportunities and questionable decisions made by his previous attorneys and because that legal representation didn’t meet expectations for a death penalty case. Dissenting parole board members said it was clear Post killed Vantz and that questionable moves by his attorneys don’t outweigh the circumstances of the case. Separately, Post had argued in federal court that executing him would amount to cruel and unusual punishment. His attorneys said he would suffer “a torturous and lingering death” as executioners tried to find a vein or use a backup method where lethal drugs are injected directly into muscle. Vantz’s sons, William and Michael, have said they believe in Post’s guilt. William Vantz characterized Post’s obesity claim as “another way for a coward to try and get out of what debt he owes to society.” The long-held presumption that Post confessed to the murder to several people has been falsely exaggerated, Post’s attorneys have argued. Post admitted involvement in the crime as the getaway driver to a police informant but didn’t admit to the killing. “Sure ain’t no murderer,” Post told that informant, according to Post’s clemency filing. Post’s attorneys argued that prosecutors misrepresented to the judge that Post had confessed to sole involvement in Vantz’s death. “The death penalty should be reserved for cases where proof of guilt is reliable and the legal system produced a just result,” the defense had said. “Neither criteria is met in this case.” Lorain County prosecutor Dennis Will had pointed to the written no contest plea, in which Post acknowledged responsibility, as “a compelling reason” to reject clemency. A message was left seeking comment Monday. Ohio’s next execution is March 6, when Frederick Treesh of Lake County is scheduled to die for the 1994 shooting death of an adult bookstore security guard during a robbery.

Who wins? Zombie Apocalypse Dr. Paul Kengor Editor’s note: This article first appeared in American Spectator. Shortly after the November election, I wrote an article titled, “McCain Beats Romney!” The article focused on initial reports showing that Mitt Romney received fewer votes in 2012 than John McCain received in 2008. Those reports utterly shocked and depressed conservatives. How many fewer votes? It looked like Romney got 2-3 million less votes than McCain. I wrote at the time: “Additional votes are still coming in, but, as of the time of my writing, Romney received around 57.8 million votes in 2012. In 2008, John McCain received 59.9 million. Romney got over 2 million less votes than McCain.” More votes remained out there. Nonetheless, when the final count was tallied, I figured that Romney would still receive fewer votes than McCain. Well, the final count is alas approaching, chronicled by the 2012 National Popular Vote Tracker, maintained by David Wasserman. And it has a rare flicker of good news for Mitt Romney: He has surpassed John McCain’s 2008 vote total. The latest near-final tally has Romney with 60.7 million votes, which is higher than McCain’s 59.9 million votes. That’s the good news for Mitt Romney. The bad news: It’s not a lot higher than McCain’s total, and certainly not high enough to have overtaken Barack Obama. In fact, Romney’s total is only about 1 percent higher than McCain’s. Who would have predicted that? Republicans expected far more votes for Mitt Romney in 2012 than McCain got in 2008. Sorry, didn’t happen. So, Mitt Romney beats John McCain, but he didn’t beat Barack Obama. But before liberals boast about and celebrate a spectacular victory, there’s additional interesting data from the near-final vote tally. It relates not to Romney and McCain but to Barack Obama and George W. Bush—the two most recent presidents to be reelected. Consider these striking numbers: Barack Obama was reelected with a little under 51 percent of the vote, similar to George W. Bush in his reelection. They both round up to 51 percent. Bush was reelected with 50.7 percent of the vote. Obama’s final tally remains in flux. A weekand-a-half ago, it was 50.7 percent. The latest is 50.9 percent. It could go up slightly or down slightly, but not by much. In effect, Obama and Bush had near-equal reelection percentages, though Obama got more popular and Electoral College votes than Bush. But before liberals dub that a victory for Obama, they should consider more data: Barack Obama is the first president to be reelected with less popular votes and less Electoral College votes. He got 4.2 million less votes in 2012 than in 2008. Obama also significantly decreased his margin of victory, shifting from a 7.3-percent margin in 2008 to a 3.6-percent margin in 2012. To the contrary, George W. Bush gained a staggering 11.6 million more total votes in 2004 than he had in 2000. Bush also increased his percentmargin from minus 0.5 percent in 2000 to plus 2.4 percent in 2004. And though Obama’s Electoral College victory in his reelection was larger than Bush’s, it still decreased. Bush’s reelection also included his party retain- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

In fact, Republicans in 2004 picked up seats in both the House and the Senate, with sizable majorities in both. Obama was unable to come anywhere near that—quite the contrary. In 2012, Democrats retained the Senate but Republicans continued their huge margin in the House. And there’s more: Bush was reelected with a larger number of states, winning 30 in 2000 (plus 10) and 31 in 2004 (plus 12). Obama lost states, going from 28 in 2008 (plus 6) to 26 in 2012 (plus 2), which is a bare majority. And should we even mention counties? The county map under Bush was a sea of red, and it remained a sea of red under Obama. For Obama and liberals, this isn’t much to brag about, and hardly a sweeping mandate. Overall, it is difficult to claim that Barack Obama’s reelection is much more decisive than George W. Bush’s. If liberals didn’t see a mandate for Bush in 2004, they certainly shouldn’t be heralding one for Obama in 2012. In terms of raw numbers, this was not a huge victory for Barack Obama—a fact that ought to give Republicans some hope for 2016, assuming they can turn out notably more people in 2016 than they did in 2012 and 2008. Unfortunately for Republicans, it was just enough of a victory for Barack Obama to continue his “fundamental transformation” of this country.

For example, the unrecorded statement “I am dead” is a performative contradiction in that the speaker is clearly alive while making the claim. There are performative contradictions not only in statements, but also in policies. The mother of them all is found in current nuclear weapons policy on the planet. Nuclear weapons cannot be rationally advanced in argument as an instrument of policy. Why? Computer models suggest that the detonation of a remarkably small number of nuclear weapons from today’s arsenals—doesn’t matter whose—would raise enough toxic soot and ash into the atmosphere to shut down world agriculture for a decade. In effect, such a detonation would be a death sentence for us all. All. No less a pitiless realist than Henry Kissinger has stated that he tried to make foreign policy with these weapons and found it impossible. Henry Kissinger now works for abolition. Even a “limited” nuclear war risks planetary annihilation. A one-sided nuclear attack risks a similar fate. If India and Pakistan get into a nuclear war and use their combined 210 nuclear bombs, we are all dead. If Israel uses a few too many of its weapons, we are dead. Deterrence is already obsolete, in the sense that it will do nothing to stop a determined extremist from smuggling a nuclear weapon to ground zero of a target. Deterrence is infinitely more obsolete on the basis that using nuclear weapons makes a military victory virtually impossible; they lead only to omnicide. So, why is the United States planning to waste up to $352 billion (!) in the next decade to renew its nuclear weapons program? Why are we not leading the charge to abolish all nuclear weaponry, reciprocally and gradually with other nations, by negotiation if possible, unilaterally if necessary? Unilateral abolition to set an example, build trust, because we realize it is in everyone’s best interest; because there is no other logical, sane alternative. Are we so dead in spirit that we are numbly, helplessly going to wait for the mass physical death that will come when somebody, somewhere—and eventually they will—makes a fatal mistake? Or can we citizens affirm life by nonviolent means—anything else is a performative contradiction—by educating, by running candidates, by petitioning, by demonstrating? 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.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. I want to hear, clearly, the justifications of the leaders, the arguments, the case for the relationship between nuclear weapons and increased security. No citizen, to my knowledge, asked either presidential candidate why the U.S. and Russia still have any ballistic missiles targeted at each other on high alert—25 years after the end of the cold war—and why they retain some 18,000 of these godforsaken weapons between them. That did not seem like a neutral omission; it seems more like an active symptom of psychic dysfunction. We look down upon North Korea with pity, a nation and people in the grip of mass militaristic psychosis. Time to take the beam out of our own eye before we judge the mote in another’s. Can we awaken from our trance? Can we admit to ourselves the radical shift in our environment that has taken place, where the environmental and military policies in one country determine the air quality in another? What does that shift do to the concept of having an enemy? I depend for my survival upon my enemy. Conflict will continue even if there were no nuclear weapons on Earth; however, actual or potential nuclear weapons today contribute to an intense international paranoia. It rationalized the U.S.’s misconceived invasion of Iraq, intensifies the enmity between Iran and Israel, and such paranoia keeps hundreds of secret agencies in Washington eavesdropping on us all for ominous signs. If the planet can emerge from this period of change and turmoil, we will look back and begin to acknowledge just how much our unconscious dread had sucked away not only our collective economic and human brainpower resources, but also some essential piece of our psychic vitality. No wonder there is so much fascination with zombies and vampires, the walking dead. Does their half-deadness mirror something deep within us all? Something new and vital is germinating from our long winter of deathinduced fear. As Paul Hawken has said, millions of non-governmental organizations around the world are working for common values: Non-violent political structures, environmental sanity, gender equality, and universal human rights. Someday soon this collective affirmation that we are one human family will thoroughly dissolve the perceived need for nuclear weapons. May they rust in peace.

But when she gets mad at me, she gives me the silent treatment. This can go on for a day or two because I’ve given up ask- ing what’s wrong or begging her to talk to me. It actually makes me very anxious and sick to my stomach. She eventually decides to start talking again, and she says she wants to room with me next year off-campus. We never fight back and forth. Should I room with her? — M.F. Dear M.F.: Your friends probably think you and your roommate have a flawless friendship since they never see signs of discord. You may be just as confused. She acts like a good friend most of the time, and she really wants to room with you next year. But are you as enthusiastic? Can this relationship be saved? That remains to be seen, and it depends on whether you are interested in continuing the status quo, because it is clear that you have relinquished any control over your coexistence with this young woman. She has the upper hand, and she’s obviously happy with having the power in the relationship. You have to decide what is right for you, not for her. The sad fact is that this young woman is not your friend. She has chosen to take charge of your relationship through a subtle form of emotional abuse. These types give others the cold shoulder instead of talking through daily problems and issues. If it didn’t bother you, it wouldn’t be effective — and you wouldn’t have a problem with this relationship. You need to confront her about her behavior and let her know that it is hurtful to you and that you are not willing to be friends with someone who treats you cruelly. If you don’t face your need to become more confident and assertive, you will find this type of individual mistreating you throughout your life.

Woods, 25, Gallipolis Ferry, to McCallister’s home to enter into a plan to “extract justice by whooping Gonzalez” and robbing him. Matthew C. Woods has testi- fied after the meeting with McCallister, he drove Adkins to Gonzalez’s house, Adkins left his sight with Matthew C. Woods later hearing two gunshots. Matthew C. Woods has also testified Adkins got back in the car and indicated to him Adkins had shot Gonzalez. Morgan said as a result of the meeting of the three men at McCallister’s home, that action instigated a plan to burglarize the residence of Gonzalez, and Gonzalez died as a result of this and his injuries. Morgan said Gonzalez was shot twice, once in the abdomen and once in the head. When asked if his client wished to respond to the state’s summary, Attorney Jeff Woods declined but did say he and McCallister “hotly contested” at least some of the state’s argument as presented. By pleading to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaugh- ter, this eliminates the malicious or deliberate element of the original first degree murder charge. Woods pleaded guilty to second degree murder earlier this year and is to be sentenced next week in Mason County Circuit Court. Adkins goes to trial in March of next year. Charges From Page A1 murder in connection with the death of his father. Montgomery, who, just prior to his arrest late last month, was interviewed by a Huntington-area television station and was quoted as having had a recent “run-in” with Gardner. Following a subsequent investigation by law enforcement, the defendant was arrested and charged in the Gallipolis Municipal Court on Nov. 30 with obstructing justice. A preliminary hearing was held on December 6 in relation to the obstructing justice charge, and, subsequently, the case against Montgomery was bound over to the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County where it is expected to be heard by a grand jury. According to the Gallia County Clerk of Courts online docket, the criminal transcript from municipal court has been filed in Montgomery’s first case relating to the charge of obstructing justice. No indictment has been filed in that case, according to the docket. On Friday, Montgomery was present in the com- mon pleas court and was charged with the illegal conveyance of drugs onto the grounds of a detention facility, a third degree felony. The indictment, filed on Dec. 13, alleges that Montgomery attempted to smuggle marijuana into the Gallia County Jail following his arrest. According to the police report, on the afternoon of Nov. 30 Montgomery was brought into the jail by an agent with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation. After being asked if he had anything on his person that he should not have, the defendant reportedly responded that he did not. However, while a corrections officer took inventory of Montgomery’s property, the defendant allegedly threw an empty cigarette pack containing approximately six grams of marijuana into a nearby trash can. He was subsequently charged with the illegal conveyance of drugs onto the grounds of detention facility. During Friday’s hearing, Montgomery’s bond was set at $5,000 own recognizance with an additional $1,500, 10 percent bond. The arraignment entry filed and signed by Mag- istrate Linda Warner further sets a jury trial for April 24, 2013. The deadline for filing a plea agreement is March 25, 2013. ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ���������������� � �������������� ������ ������� ����������� � ��� ����� ����� ����� ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� ������������������������������ ������������������������������� � ��� ��� ���� ������ ����������� ������ ��������� ��� �������� ������ ������ ������ ����� � ���������� �������� �� ���� ������ ���� ����� � ����������������������������� �������� �� �� �� Mark W.

With the win, the RedStorm (3-8) snapped a seven-game los- ing streak and completed a season sweep of their former America Mideast Conference rival. Mount Vernon dropped to 2-9 with the loss. Rio Grande trailed 22-15 with 9:18 left in the first half following a steal and layup by MVNU’s Ashley Jessie, but RedStorm reeled off eight straight points of their own to take their first lead of the night, 23-22, on a jumper by sophomore forward Tinesha Taylor with 5:30 remaining before intermission. Rio’s lead reached as many as five points late in the half before the Cougars forged a 29-29 deadlock at the break and opened the second half on a 7-2 run to take a 36-31 advantage after Camaranne Myles connected on one of two free throw attempts with 16:03 left in the game. The RedStorm scored six straight points to regain the lead with just over 14 minutes left and the contest remained a see-saw affair over the next 6-1/2 minutes before Rio went in front for good, 50-48, after a jumper in the lane by senior guard Shardai Morrison-Fountain with 7:52 remaining. Rio Grande’s biggest lead of the night came at 59-52 following an offensive rebound and stickback by junior guard/forward Kate Hammond with 3:36 left and the Cougars got no closer than three the rest of the way. Morrison-Fountain finished with a game-high 24 points to lead the RedStorm, while Taylor and freshman forward Julia Heaberlin had 12 points each. Freshman forward Sarah Bonar had a game-high 11 rebounds in the win despite fouling out in just 20 minutes of playing time. Mount Vernon got 11 points apiece from Jessie and Myles in the loss, while Emily Steveley pulled down eight rebounds. The Cougars shot just 27.6 percent in the second half (8for-29), committed 26 turnovers and were outrebounded 51-39.

Buffalo had three players reach double figures in the scoring column en route to a 75-56 victory over the White Falcons in Putnam County. BHS (2-0) out scored Wahama (0-2) 19-to-15 over the opening eight minutes of the game and kept the momentum going in the second period. Buffalo scored 27 points in the second canto, while the White Falcons scored 14 and trailed 46-29 at the break. The Bison had their best de- fensive period of the night in the third, allowing just nine points to WHS. Buffalo extended its lead to 30 points headed into the finale. The Red and White closed the game on an 18-to-7 run but ultimately fell to Buffalo 75-56. The duo of Austin Jordan and Dakota Sisk led Wahama with 12 points apiece, followed by Ja- cob Ortiz with 10 points. Derek Hysell had seven points, Wyatt Zuspan and Trenton Gibbs had four points each, while Hunter Bradley finished with three points to round out the WHS scoring. Jordan hit a trio of three-pointers for Wahama while Hysell had one. Levi Jordan led BHS with 20 points, including four three- pointers, followed by Laythem Good with 15 and Isiah Robinson with 12. The White Falcons shot just 14-of-31 (45.2 percent) from the free throw line while Buffalo was 9-of-14 (64.3 percent) from the line. Wahama will have it’s shot at revenge on February 15th when the Bison travel to Mason. PPHS wrestling wins Jason Eades Duals title Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant wrestling team came away with top honors Friday and Saturday at the 2012 Jason Eades Memorial Duals held on the campus of Point Pleasant Junior-Senior High School. The Big Blacks were the only squad of 19 teams to come away with an unbeaten record this weekend, as the hosts posted an overall team record of 7-0 at the two-day event. Wirt County and Clay County both claimed second place with a pair of 6-1 marks. Blue Angels fall to Logan, 61-39 Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com LOGAN, Ohio — The Gallia Academy girls basketball team shot 26 percent from the field and dropped their fourth straight decision Saturday evening following a 6139 setback to host Logan in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup at Jim Myers Gymnasium in Hocking County. The visiting Blue Angels (2-4, 0-2 SEOAL) trailed 11-10 at the midway point of the first quarter, but the Lady Chieftains (3-4, 2-1) responded with eight consecutive points to close the opening period with a 19-10 advantage. Both teams kept things in check in the second canto, as Logan used a small 9-8 run to claim a 28-18 intermission edge. GAHS never came closer than eight points the rest of the way, as the hosts outscored the Blue Angels by a 33-21 margin in the second half to wrap up the 22-point decision. LHS went on a 16-11 run in the third for a 44-29 cushion headed into the finale. Gallia Academy connected on 14-of-53 field goal attempts overall, including a 5-of20 effort from three-point range for 25 percent. The guests were outrebounded by a 4735 overall margin and also had 24 turnovers in the contest, two more than miscues than Logan. Kendra Barnes led GAHS with 14 points, followed Micah Curfman with 10 points and Chelsy Slone with nine markers. Halley Barnes chipped in four points and team-best seven rebounds, while Abby Wiseman rounded out the scoring with two markers. The Blue Angels were 6-of-15 at the free throw line for 40 percent. Taylor Myers led Logan and all scorers with 21 points, followed by Paige Davis and Allison McNeal with eight markers each. The Lady Chiefs netted 22-of-58 field goal attempts for 38 percent, went 5-of-14 from three-point territory for 36 percent, and also sank 12-of-20 charity tosses for 60 percent. The event is scored on head-to-head team results, much like a dual, and the winner is determined by the final record of each team. Point Pleasant defeated St. Albans by 66-15 margin in the opening round, then posted a 54-24 win over Nitro in Round 2. PPHS claimed a 51-24 win over Spring Valley in Round 3, then posted a 56-9 victory over Capital in the Day One finale. The Big Blacks had a bye in Round 1 on Saturday, then squeaked out a 38-37 win over East Fairmont in Round 2 and a 38-27 win over Writ County in Round 3. PPHS clinched its perfect team record with a 54-21 win over Woodrow Wilson in Round 5. Wahama also competed at the event and finished the weekend with a 3-3 overall mark. The White Falcons had wins over Capital (42-32), Hurri- cane (42-35) and Liberty (33-21). Wahama’s losses came to Calhoun County (45-30), East Fairmont (61-10) and Greenbrier West (52-21). Complete results of the team scores from the 2012 Jason Eades Memorial Duals can be found on the web at wvmat.com Warner rallies in second half Randy Payton Special to OVP LAKE WALES, Fla. - Warner University coughed up a nine-point first half lead, but rallied from six points down in the second half to post an 80-72 win over the University of Rio Grande, Saturday afternoon, in men’s basketball action at the Turner Athletic Center. The host Royals, an NAIA Division II school, improved to 7-4 with the win and snapped a three-game losing slide in the process. Rio Grande slipped to 4-9 with its third straight loss. Warner built a 27-18 first half advantage after a three-pointer by Bryce Kachinksi with 5:04 left before halftime, but Rio Grande responded with an 11-1 run to take a 29-28 cushion of its own after a trifecta by freshman guard D.D. Joiner. The Royals eventually finished the half with a 33-31 lead and were up 40-37 following a three-pointer by Halstead Chiverton with 15:31 left to play, but the RedStorm reeled off nine straight points of their own to take a 46-40 edge with 14:18 remaining after a three-pointer by sophomore Evan Legg. Warner mounted another run of its own, outscoring the RedStorm 20-6 over the next five minutes to open up a 60-52 lead after a runner in the lane by Kachinksi with 9:04 left. The Royals continued to build on their advantage and enjoyed their biggest lead of 15 points, 74-59, when Ian Wilhelm connected on a three-pointer with 3:25 left in the game. Rio Grande got no closer that the final margin the rest of the way. Wilhelm led a quartet of doubledigit scorers with 21 points, 18 of which came in the first half. All six of his field goals were from three-point range. Mark St. Fort finished with 17 points in the win, while Chiverton netted 15 and Ray Victor had 13. All of Chiverton and Victor’s points came in the second half. Kachinski added eight assists for the Royals, while Chiverton had four steals and O’Neil Lubin pulled down a team-best six rebounds. Joiner and senior guard Kaleb Kimber led the RedStorm with 16 points each, while senior center Dominick Haynes had 12 points and junior forward Karl Moore had 10 points. Junior guard Jermaine Warmack was credited with a game-high 10 assists and a game-high four assists. Rio Grande shot 52.9 percent from the field (27-for-51), but hurt its own cause with 22 turnovers - 15 of which occurred in the second half. Warner shot 51.7 percent for the game, including 58.8 percent (20-for34) in the second half. For the second time in as many days, the game was delayed at the beginning by a lack of officials. After a 50-minute delay, the game got underway when two members of the threeperson officiating crew from the preceeding women’s contest elected to work the men’s contest as well. Rio Grande returns to action on Friday, December 28, at Cleveland State University. The game is second of two exhibition contests this season against NCAA Division I opponents. Duke moves to No. 1 in AP poll Joedy McCreary The Associated Press Duke is back in a familiar place — No. 1. The Blue Devils advanced one spot to replace Indiana at the top of The Associated Press’ Top 25 on Monday, drawing closer to UCLA’s record for most No. 1 rankings. Duke has reached No. 1 at least once in a record 16 seasons under coach Mike Krzyzewski, and has played more games as the No. 1 ranked team in 33 years under Coach K (209) than as an unranked team (141). No team in the country has the resume that the Blue Devils do: They own three wins over teams ranked in the top five at the time — then-No. 3 Kentucky, then-No. 2 Louisville and then-No. 4 Ohio State, all in a span of 16 days. “We’re proud of it. I think it’s a lot different than a preseason ranking,” forward Mason Plumlee said. “We feel like we’ve earned it, not like we’ve been given anything. (But) if we don’t get any better during the season, we’re not going to be No. 1 at the end of the season.” Indiana (9-1) held the top spot from the preseason poll through the first five weeks of the season. Butler beat the Hoosiers 88-86 in overtime Saturday. The Blue Devils (9-0), Miscellaneous whose only game in the past 2 weeks was a victory over Temple on Dec. 8, received 62 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. They will debut their latest No. 1 ranking at home Wednesday night against Cornell. “I don’t anticipate us being rusty — if anything, we might be a little overanxious to play,” Plumlee said. “This team loves to play, so when we don’t get a game in a week or so, you can get a little anxious.” It is the 123rd week Duke has been ranked No. 1, 11 weeks behind UCLA. All but 31 weeks of Duke’s stay on top have come since the 1991-92 season. The Blue Devils’ last time at No. 1 was an 11-week run in 2010-11. “We even know when we watch film on a team that they’ll be a different team against us because that’s almost always the case,” Plumlee said. “They’ll shoot a little better, play a little better and maybe the No. 1 ranking adds to that. We consistently get teams’ best (effort).” Michigan (11-0), which received the other No. 1 votes, and Syracuse moved up one place each to second and third. They were followed in the top 10 by Arizona, Louisville, Indiana, Ohio State, Florida, Kansas and Illinois. �Tuesday, December 18, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page B5 www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, december 18, 2012 COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012: This year you often encounter challenging people with very different ideas. Take the best of those suggestions and use them to strengthen your life. Use care with your finances, as you frequently are a risk-taker; otherwise, you could be unhappy with the results. Look to restructuring your life on a more regular basis. If you are single, from summer 2013 on, someone very special could enter your life. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy each other even more. You socialize more with friends, yet you also enjoy private weekends together. PISCES often gets emotional. 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) HHH Pull back, and new insights will emerge. Incorporate them once you are sure that they are applicable. With so much on your plate, tension could soar. The time has come to choose a stressbuster. A close associate suddenly might become controlling. Tonight: Get a nap first. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Zero in on your priorities. Others need to know them if you want to have their support. A respected person in your life might be cynical no matter what you say. Decide not to internalize his or her comments; however, do evaluate them. Tonight: Out among the crowds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH A boss or older friend pushes you to such an extent that you might want to ditch him or her and leave the scene. A control game might be running amok because you are not OK with it. That decision honors who you are. The only way to win is not to play! Tonight: Start celebrating. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Savor the music, the people and even today’s shopping frenzy. Remain optimistic and detached. Enjoy yourself and those around you. Trust your intuition, and you will make good decisions. Tonight: Out caroling with friends and loved ones! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You are encouraged to be kinder and more understanding in general by a key person in your life. Relate to each individual directly in order to achieve better results. Pressure comes from someone’s attitude. Know when to let go. Tonight: Dinner with a special friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seek you out. You will enjoy this popularity, both professionally and personally. An opportunity enters your life, though you might want to review what is being offered first. Consider the circumstances and potential complications. Tonight: Go along with plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Your mind is full of creative ideas and solutions, but you might not be demonstrating and applying them. As a result, an opportunity could be lost. Listen to what is being shared. Refuse to be drawn into a grand drama. Tonight: Get some exercise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Allow your imagination to freely wander, but be careful. If you burst into laughter, everyone will want more information than you choose to give. Just smile instead, and let others be intrigued by the twinkle in your eye. Tonight: Pretend that it’s the weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Comparing you with a stick in the mud generally does not apply, but today is different. When you’re out, you want to be in. When you’re in, you want to be curled up. When you’re curled up, you want to take a nap. Adapt your schedule accordingly. Tonight: Play the role of couch potato. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH No one can say that you aren’t expressive in letting others know what’s on your mind. Nevertheless, someone just does not get it. Doing nothing might be more effective. You finally will get this person’s attention. Tonight: Run an errand on the way to meet a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Know that you aren’t the only one trying to stretch a dollar. Talk to friends if you are in a jam, and get suggestions on how to complete your holiday shopping. You might love some of the ideas that come up. Don’t take a comment personally. Tonight: Balance your checkbook. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You could be surfing the wave of life, as you feel content and valued. Take a second to enjoy these feelings. Remember these moments, and know that they can happen again. A family member demands attention. Make it your pleasure! Tonight: Your wish is someone’s command!
