KERMIT GILKEY ROY THOMAS GRUESER POMEROY — Roy Thomas Grueser, 90, of Pomeroy, Ohio, passed away on Dec. 10, 2017. He was born on Sept. 7, 1927. Roy was born, raised, worked and lived his 90 years in a two mile area. Rock Springs was his home. Roy’s parents were Eva Ethel (Story) and Lewis Grueser. He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Ralph and Robert; and first wife Geraldine (Shumaker) Grueser. As a teenager, Roy and his father Lewis started a sawmill in the barnyard, Grueser Sawmill. When Lewis retired he sold his half to Harold Blackston and the Ohio Pallet Company was born. Roy was a mill owner-operator for 44 years. After retiring in 1990, he indulged his love for wood and old cars. He made many dulcimers, toy chests, wall cabinets, clocks and play houses for the grandkids. His love for the lathe showed in the 990 bowls he made. He made many hand-chopped dough bowls. He loved to work with splatted buckeye and wood from trees with a family connection. He donated many bowls to charity. Roy taught each grandkid how to make a bowl. He loved having the grandkids visit, hike, fish, water ski, and make apple butter. Roy was famous for his barbecued chicken cooked on his hand-made grill. His method of fire starting was even more famous than his secret sauce. Then Roy developed a desire to make wine. And wine he made using local berries and grape juice from California and Chile. He no longer made sink wine, but wine that we all love. Roy’s joy in making people smile can also be seen in Christmas yard decorations he made for his family and others to enjoy. These treasures include the waving snowman, the tree and the wreath. Roy collected and maintained several antique cars including a Model T pick-up truck that he would point out “is the same age as me.” He loved to ride the back roads in a Model T and would take the grandkids through the hills on their favorite journeys.

Contributing Nate Silver thinks it “probably columnist helps Democrats’ chances” to do so, further explaining: 1 — GOP has more exposure to losses because they hold most of the swing seats in the House 2 — Voters will “punish” members accused of harassment by enough to mitigate their incumbency advantage 3 — Failing to oust creeps from the party (while D’s do) would hurt GOP brand Now, we have no idea if that pattern will hold, and in fact later Thursday Arizona Republican Trent Franks resigned for sexual harassment. But it’s still worth working through how this would play out because it’s a good way of discussing how House elections work. First, Silver’s initial assumption is a mistake. If 40 members of the House are engulfed in scandals, they are unlikely to be split evenly between the parties. Right now, there are 240 Republicans and 193 Democrats in the House (with each party defending one open safe seat). But if all 40 of the hypothetical scandals are about men (not an unreasonable assumption) then the relevant numbers are the 218 Republican men and 133 Democratic men. So we could expect, all else being equal, about 25 Republicans to face trouble for every 15 Democrats. We could then add his first condition: Republicans overall are defending more difficult seats, as any majority party will. Beyond that, more of the Republican seats are likely to be competitive than the Democratic seats given this is a midterm election with a Republican in the White House, especially a very unpopular Republican. So what happens from there? Fifteen new Democratic open seats in November 2018 would probably mean relatively little risk for Democrats. Of 14 seats Democrats are currently vacating, Cook Political Report considers 9 safe, 1 likely Democratic, 1 lean Democratic, and 3 toss-ups (by contrast, Cook has the open Republican seats as 13 safe, 2 likely Republican, 2 lean Republican, 3 toss-up, and one 1 lean Democratic). So another set of open seats would probably put few if any in danger. It’s true that resignations this far from the November elections would still require a round of special elections to select someone to complete the unfinished terms, so Republicans would have two chances to win. But then again if a Republican won a special election in a normally Democratic or swing seat in February or March, Democrats would have a chance to reclaim it in November. Overall, it just wouldn’t cost the Democrats many, if any, seats. As far as the Republican-held seats are concerned, Silver got some pushback on Twitter about the idea that incumbent Republicans would be hurt by scandal given that Donald Trump won and Roy Moore is ahead in the polls right now. What we’re interested in, however, isn’t who wins, but how scandal affected the margin of victory. In the presidential election, both candidates were scandal-plagued, and Trump had so many scandals that it’s hard to isolate the effects of any of them. Moore, too, has a history of being a weak statewide Republican in Alabama. As it was, Trump did somewhat worse than fundamentals-based projection systems based on the economy and other non-candidate factors predicted, and Moore is likely to do much worse than typical Alabama Republicans. So neither of these contests is evidence that the normal rules don’t apply. Gary Jacobson has shown that the incumbent advantage may be primarily based on voters typically learning more positive things than negative things about their members of the House, while they are unlikely to know much about the challenger. Now, candidate factors are not as important as party loyalty in House elections, but they do have an effect, and Silver is correct that scandal can wipe out the incumbency advantage, or even worse. According to Cook, Republicans are defending 54 seats that are classified as toss ups, lean Republican or likely Republican (compared to 14 on the Democrats’ side). Making any of those a little more vulnerable can have an outsize impact on the fight to control the House. As far as Silver’s last point: Right now, I’m extremely skeptical that to GOP brand will sustain any damage at all. Moore and Franken will have faded from the headlines months before voters start paying attention to the 2018 elections, and the impact (outside of Trump) is likely to be muddled anyway. Overall? A sudden scandal hitting 40 incumbent male members of the House would play out very well for the Democrats — unless they were very unlucky in which seats were affected.

THEIR VIEW Sanctify your cyberspace Long before texts and social media, elevators were the most common place that people would infiltrate another’s personal space bubble. Most oncoming passengers would be courteous and fill the most logical gap in the box with standing room only, and some would even wave the cramped crowd inside onto the floor of their destination. Cyberspace is now where personal space is more valuable than a Titanic artifact. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer,” a famous quote from The Godfather movie, is based on the premise is that it’s wise to stay close to your enemies in order to be aware of anything they could be plotting against you, but maybe not knowing is wiser. Not knowing often entails sanctifying our own personal space not only physically, but virtually as well. When someone oversteps our physical energy field, we can simply lean selves from online back.

Last season group members Jamie Bailey, Maurisa Baker, Nathan Becker, Susan Eason, Jessica Holliday, Brian Howard, Nathan Jeffers, Haley Kennedy, Mike Kennedy, Amy Perrin, Lara Perrin, Emma Perrin, Holly Raffle, Deanna Swartz, Jake Swindell, Monica Turner, and Stewart traveled to Columbus to participate in the C2C race. The C2C is a two day, 131 mile race from Columbus to Cincinnati in which proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. The group raised $14,000. “The way the club works is to just pool ideas and resources between our members,” said Stewart. “There is no one person that is the driving force. We all realize that this is bigger than us and and we’re so proud to be a part of it.” The tentative dates for the race series for their 2017-18 season are as follows: Jingle All the Way 5K — Dec. 16 at 10 a.m.; Lucky Leprechaun Dash — Mar. 17 at 10 a.m.; Super Hero 5K — May 12 at 7:30 p.m.; Big Bend Blues Dash 5K — July 28 at 8:30 a.m.; JJ Gray 5K — Aug. 10 at 9:00 p.m.; Keep Your Fork 5K — Nov. 24 10 a.m. The Princess and Pirate 5K is still to be announced.

Gallia Academy, Eastern, South Gallia and Meigs all competed in the 2017 Phil Davis Memorial Wrestling tournament held Saturday at Chesapeake High School in Lawrence County. The Blue Devils were top-finishing team locally after placing eighth out of 19 teams with 106 points, while the Eagles were 12th overall with 79 points. The Rebels and Marauders respectively placed 14th and 15th overall with 74.5 points and 70 points. Huntington (WV) came away with top honors with 232.5 points, while Ashland Blazer (160.5) and Alexander (148.5) rounded out the top three spots in the field. GAHS — which was missing some of its starting lineup due to ACT testing — had four grapplers earn top-four finishes, while SGHS and EHS both had two wrestlers place in the top-four of their respective divisions. MHS had two grapplers place fifth overall, but those were the best finishes for the Maroon and Gold. Jason Stroud (106) and Kenny Siders (160) led Gallia Academy with a pair of third-place efforts as both went 4-1 on the day. Stroud earned four pinfall victories and Siders scored three pinfalls while also claiming a 15-8 decision. Logan Griffith went 3-2 with three pinfall wins at 195 pounds to place fourth, while Kenton Ramsey was fourth at 113 pounds with a 2-3 mark and one pinfall win. Eastern landed a pair of runner-up efforts from Dillon Aeiker and Gavin Erwin. Aeiker went 3-1 and had three pinfall wins at 138 pounds, while Erwin went 4-1 with four pinfall wins at 182 pounds. South Gallia received a runner-up effort from Justin Butler, who went 4-1 with three pinfall wins and a 21-4 technical fall at 152 pounds. Jacob Birtcher was also fourth at 138 pounds with two pinfalls and a 2-2 overall mark. Both Jon Newsome (285) and Griffin Buck (106) placed fifth in their respective weight classes.

Meigs falls to Fighting Tigers, 40-31 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Too many second chances and too many three-pointers. The Meigs boys basketball team allowed nonconference foe Ironton to hit seven trifectas and grab 14 offensive boards, as the Fighting Tigers battled to a 40-31 victory in the finale of Saturday’s Newt Oliver Coaches Classic in Gallia County. Ironton (1-1) scored the game’s first four points, but the Marauders (0-4) ended the first period with a 8-1 run and a three-point advantage. The Fighting Tigers sank three straight trifectas to start the second quarter, holding Meigs off the board until the 2:29 mark of the period. The Marauders outscored IHS 5-2 over the final 2:29 of the first half, trimming the Orange and Black lead to 16-13 at the break. Meigs trimmed its deficit to just one point, at 18-17, with 5:50 left in the third, but Ironton finished the quarter with a 9-6 spurt, stretching the margin to 27-23 with eight minutes to play. The IHS advantage was cut back to one possession, at 27-25, within the opening 10 seconds of the fourth quarter, but the Fighting Tigers answered with a trifecta at the 7:00 mark. Just 20 seconds later the Maroon and Gold hit a triple of their own, but Ironton ended the game on a 10-3 run, sealing the 40-31 victory. “We have a hodgepodge lineup out there and the kids gave a valiant effort,” fourth-year MHS head coach Ed Fry said. “I know Ironton is hurting too, but they’re athletic and they’re strong. We knew going in that rebounding was going to be a critical thing, since both of us were kind of beat up. “We competed and we were in it until the end, so I was very proud of that” Fry added. “We had some guys get some much needed experience in the last two games, which hopefully will help us down the road.” For the game, Meigs shot 12-of-38 (31.6 percent) from the field, including just 1-of-14 (7.1 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Ironton shot 12-of-43 (27.9 percent) from the field, including 7-of-19 (36.8 percent) from deep. From the free throw line, the Marauders were a perfect 6-of-6, while the Orange and Black were 9-of-11 (81.8 percent). The Fighting Tigers won the rebounding battle by a 27-to-22 clip, including 14-to-7 on the offensive end. Meigs committed 14 turnovers in the tilt, two more that Ironton. The Marauders claimed the game’s lone rejection and held a 9-to-7 edge in assists, while IHS claimed a 7-to-4 advantage in steals. MHS junior Cooper Darst led the way for the Maroon and Gold with 15 points, followed by Jake Roush with seven. Zach Bartrum marked five points in the setback, Marauders junior Cooper Darst (24) tries for a reverse layup during Meigs’ 40-31 loss to Ironton, in the Newt Oliver Coaches Classic on Saturday in Rio Grande, Ohio. while Bobby Musser scored four. Musser pulled in a team-best eight rebounds, while Roush grabbed four boards for Meigs. Nick Lilly dished out a gamehigh four assists, Roush came up with two steals, while Musser blocked a shot. Ethan Wilson led the victors with 18 points, followed by Kyle Adkins with eight. Reid Carrico and Trent Milleson scored five points each, Joel Blankenship chipped in with three points, while Ayden Barnes had one point in the win. Carrico pulled in seven rebounds to lead IHS, while Wilson and Hunter Humphreys earned two assists apiece. Wilson led the Fighting Tiger defense with three steals. Meigs has been without starters Christian Mattox and Weston Baer for back-to-back games, and the Marauders will begin Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division play when they return to action on Tuesday at Athens. “Hopefully we start getting some people back next week for league play,” Fry said. “We have these mixed up lineups and your execution is going to suffer. You have to keep things very basic, it’s hard to make any adjustments, it was kind of what you do in your first scrimmage.” This was the lone scheduled meeting between the Marauders and Fighting Tigers this season. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Tornadoes Jarret McCarley was next for RVHS with 14 points, followed by Twyman with 11 and Layne Fitch with From page 6 seven.

The brash, flag-planting Oklahoma quarterback became the sixth Sooner to the win Heisman on Saturday night in one of the most lopsided votes in the 83-year history of the award. Stanford running back Bryce Love was the runner-up, making it five second-place finishes for the Cardinal since 2009. Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, last year’s Heisman winner, was third, the best finish by a returning winner since Tim Tebow of Florida in 2008. Mayfield received 732 firstplace votes and 2,398 points. Love had 75 first-place votes and 1,300 points and Jackson received 47 and 793. Mayfield received 86 percent of the total points available, the third-highest percentage in Heisman history behind Ohio State’s Troy Smith (91.63 percent) in 2006 and Oregon’s Marcus Mariota (90.92) in 2014. Mayfield is the third player to win the Heisman heading to the College Football Playoff. The second-ranked Sooners meet No. 3 Georgia in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. He is the first senior to win the award since Smith and the first Heisman winner to begin his N.Y.

He choked back tears, thanking his parents and first-year Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley. “Tried to play it cool,” Mayfield said later. “That’s not my thing though. I’m a guy that wears his emotions on his sleeve.” Mayfield finished fourth in the Heisman voting two years ago and third last year. “It’s motivating for me to be the best in the country,” he said. Mayfield entered this season as one of the Heisman favorites and jumped toward the front of the pack when he led the Sooners to an early victory at Ohio State that he celebrated by planting the OU flag in the Horseshoe turf. He later apologized for that, but that has been Mayfield’s career. Spectacular play fueled by grudges, slights and trying to prove doubters wrong. Moxie is the word that gets attached to Mayfield often, but at times poor judgment has gotten him in trouble on and off the field. Those were really the only marks on Mayfield’s Heisman resume because his play has been consistently stellar. He has thrown for 4,340 yards and 41 touchdowns this season for the Big 12 champion Sooners (12-1).

Pretty good for a scrawny kid who grew up in Austin, Texas, rooting for Oklahoma, but did not receive a scholarship offer out of high school from either the hometown Longhorns or his beloved Sooners. At Lake Travis High School, Mayfield won a state championship at a school that regularly pumps out Division I quarterbacks. He received one offer from a Power Five program — Washington State. “There’s something to be said for having just good ol’ confidence in yourself,” Mayfield said. “Just true belief. My journey, like I said earlier is not over, but it’s about facing adversity. If there’s mistakes, being up front about it and then moving forward and being better in the future.” He walked-on at Texas Tech and started eight games as a freshman in 2013. With a glut of quarterbacks in Lubbock, Mayfield left and had only one school in mind. He walked-on again at Oklahoma. Mayfield thanked former Sooners coach Bob Stoops, who also was at the Best Buy Theater in midtown Manhattan, for welcoming a “chubby, unathletic kid into the program with open arms.” That was also Riley’s first season as Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator. The two have been a perfect match. 14 12 .538 12 13 .480 11 17 .393 9 16 .360 6 20 .231 Central Division W L Pct Cleveland 19 8 .704 Milwaukee 15 10 .600 Indiana 16 11 .593 Detroit 14 12 .538 Chicago 5 20 .200 WESTERN CONFERENCE Southwest Division W L Pct Houston 20 4 .833 San Antonio 19 8 .704 New Orleans 14 13 .519 — 1½ 4 4½ 8 GB — 3 3 4½ 13 GB — 2½ 7½ Memphis Dallas 8 18 .308 7 20 .259 Northwest Division W L Pct Minnesota 16 11 .593 Denver 14 12 .538 Portland 13 12 .520 Utah 13 14 .481 Oklahoma City 12 13 .480 Pacific Division W L Pct Golden State 21 6 .778 L.A.
