Judge Michael Ward, sitting by assignment, sentenced Timothy W. Wickersham to serve a mandatory sentence of nine years on the first count of which the jury convicted him two weeks ago — illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. The charge also carried the stipulation that it was done within 100 feet of a child. Defense Attorney David Baer had argued previously that the three charges of which Wickersham was convicted should not be sentenced separately as they are allied offenses, and he should only be sentenced on one charge. Wickersham was convicted of illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the first degree; illegal assembly of possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree; and endangering children, a felony of the third degree. Judge Ward said during the hearing that the recidivism factor was high in the case given that this was the fifth conviction for Wickersham. He had previously been convicted of escape and failure to appear following release on an OR bond (2009), possession of drugs (2007), and bank fraud (2003). Ward also hear arguments Wednesday on probation violations against Wickersham related to two cases from 2009. Ward found that the conviction was enough grounds to find probable cause that Wickersham had violated his probation. Baer argued that the sentenc- ing entries in the cases did not stipulate a specific prison term if Wickersham were to violate the terms of his community control. Baer stated past case law which says a specific term must be stated in the entry or the offender can not be sentenced to prison time. Ward agreed that the entries were defective, and left Wickersham on five years community control in the cases, with the time to begin following Wickersham’s release from prison and SEPTA. An additional term of Wednesday’s sentence is that Wickersham must complete SEPTA following his release from prison. Ward did specify that if Wickersham were to violate his community control in the five years following his release from prison he would be subject to an underlying term of 18 months for failure to appear (Case 09CR112) and three years for escape (Case 09CR126). The court determined there was no prison time remaining on a 2007 case against Wickersham. During the trial two weeks ago, jurors heard testimony of law enforcement officers Deputy Brody Davis, Sgt. Chris Gill, Deputy Joe Barnhart, and Officer Shannon Smith concerning the events of April 12, along with Children Services Investigator Elizabeth King. Wickersham’s landlord Pam Diddle also testified during the trial. All witnesses were called by Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams, with defense attorney David Baer calling no witnesses in the case. Wickersham did not testify on his own behalf. The charges were the result of a methamphetamine lab and chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine found at 303 Fifth Street in Racine on April 12. In the early morning hours of that day, Deputies Davis and Barnhart along with King responded to a child safety check at the residence. Upon arrival at the home, Stacy Holter and her four-monthold child were at the residence, but Wickersham was not present. Deputy Barhart conducted a safety check at the house, finding probable cause for a search warrant. During the execution of the search warrant, deputies located a methamphetamine lab and precursors for the making of methamphetamine. Wickersham was arrested a few days later at a residence on Peach Fork Road. He has been in the custody of the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office since his arrest. Holter, 37, of Racine was also charged in the case. A motions hearing in her case is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sept. 16, with a jury trial scheduled for Oct. 3. Holter is represented by Attorney William Eachus of Gallipolis. Holter remains free on $25,000 bond.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio schools, teachers and parents are bracing for anticipated downgrades as the state prepares for the Thursday release of new A-F report cards. The revamped system ranking buildings and districts sets new, often tougher performance criteria and replaces such labels as “Excellent” and “Continuous Improvement” with more familiar letter grades. The 2013 report cards will feature letter grades in the first nine graded performance measures, said Ohio Department of Education spokesman John Charlton. Districts and school buildings won’t be given overall grades under the new system until August 2015. Charlton said officials anticipate that many schools will see poorer grades initially in some areas as a result of the adjustment. The initial jolt is expected to subside as the system is fully phased in through 2015. The department plans to make the report cards available to the public on its website at 11 a.m. Thursday. Damon Asbury, director of the Ohio School Boards Association, said the absence of an overall ranking may serve to free parents and educators to focus on the strengths and weaknesses of their schools under the new system. “In some respects not having an overall grade might help people look at the individual components more, to decide where it is we’re succeeding and where it is we should be doing better,” he said. A-F report card legislation that Ohio passed last year required developing a letter scale for school districts, school buildings, community schools, STEM schools and college preparatory boarding schools. Performance criteria included elementary-grade literacy, student academic performance, graduation rates, college readiness and a host of other characteristics. The letter grades replace the former five-tier rating system of categories: academic emergency, academic watch, continuous improvement, effective and excellent. The extended rollout and delayed overall grades are intended to prevent schools from experiencing sudden drops in rankings as the state moves to a more rigorous evaluation system. In an email this week to school administrators, State Superintendent Richard Ross said the state will be discouraging comparisons with the old rating system.

(AP) — A woman whose family once took in the suspect in an Atlanta-area school shooting said Wednesday that he was mentally ill but never violent in the past. Natasha Knotts told The Associated Press that Michael Brandon Hill lived with her and her husband for several months in his late teens. She says she served as a mother figure for Hill in after he started coming to the small church where she and her husband are pastors. Also on Wednesday, police gave more details about the previous day’s ordeal and what led up to it. Before going to the school, investigators say that Hill took a photo of himself with an AK 47-style rifle and packed up nearly 500 rounds of ammunition — enough to shoot more than half the school’s students. Police said Hill, 20, got the gun from an acquaintance, but it’s not clear if he stole it or had permission to take it. No one was injured, but the suspect exchanged gunfire with police who surrounded Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur. The school’s 870 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade were evacuated. “We have to make a reasonable assumption he was there to do harm to someone,” said DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric L. Alexander. Knotts said Hill called her sister Tuesday afternoon before the shooting and said he had a rifle but didn’t say what he was planning to do. She said she believes that Hill acted out as a plea for help. “This is something that’s totally out of his character. This is not him. This is not the Mike that I know. For anyone that knew Mike, this was a total devastation,” she said in an interview at her home in Lithonia. Though there is no blood or legal connection between them, Knotts said she considers Hill like a son. “He was part of our family,” Knotts said of the roughly six months that Hill stayed with them several years ago. Her family was aware that “he had a mental disorder” before he moved in, but she said he was loving and quiet and never displayed any anger or violent tendencies. He didn’t work, didn’t seem to have any friends and hardly ever spoke about his family or his past, Knotts said. Hill told her that his birth mother was dead and that he didn’t know his father. He also has brothers. She kept in touch after he moved out and said he’d recently been living with another couple who belonged to the church. Knotts last saw Hill about a month ago and he seemed fine. Hill held one or two staff members in the front office captive for a time, the police chief said, making one of them call a local TV station. At some point, he fired into the floor of the school office. As officers swarmed the campus outside, he shot at them at least a half a dozen times with an assault rifle from inside the school and they returned fire, police said. Police came into the school office, and Hill surrendered. Hill is charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Police declined to discuss what he told them when he was questioned. DeKalb County Police Detective Ray Davis said a court date could take place in the coming days. Davis said Hill’s motive was unclear but he’d had contact with the school office before. Hill had an address listed in court records about three miles from the school in Decatur, but no clear ties to the school. The ordeal terrified parents. Rufus Morrow was at work when he got a phone call with news that shots had been fired at the school his daughter attends. He drove “about 90 mph” to the school. The police chief says Hill, armed with an assault rifle and other weapons, was able to slip into the school where visitors must be buzzed in by staff. Morrow said he almost cried as he told his supervisor why he needed to leave. “Just the mere thought of what happened at that other elementary school happening here, it was just devastating to my soul,” he said, referring to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut in December that left 26 people dead, 20 of them children. School bookkeeper Antoinette Tuff says she was one of the employees held hostage. Tuff told WSB-TV in Atlanta that she tried to keep Hill talking to prevent him from walking into the hallway or through the school building. “He had a look on him that he was willing to kill — matter of fact he said it. He said that he didn’t have any reason to live and that he knew he was going to die today,” Tuff said. Tuff relayed messages from Hill to DeKalb County emergency dispatchers before convincing him to surrender. She told the dispatcher that Hill said he wasn’t there to hurt the children but wanted to talk to an unarmed officer. “He said call the probation office in DeKalb County and let them know what’s going on,” Tuff said on a 911 recording that was released Wednesday. “He said he should have just went to the mental hospital instead of doing this, because he’s not on his medication.” Tuff began telling Hill of her own struggles, including raising a disabled child and losing her husband. Hill was arrested in mid-March for making terroristic threats in Henry County, DeKalb and Henry County sheriff’s officials have said. He was sentenced to probation. Still, Tuff reassured him by saying he didn’t hurt anyone, hadn’t harmed her and could still surrender peacefully. “We’re not gonna hate you baby. It’s a good thing that you’re giving up,” Tuff said after having Hill put his weapons and ammunition on the counter. Tuff told Hill that she loved him and would pray for him.

Bradley Manning stood at attention in his crisp dress uniform Wednesday and learned the price he will pay for spilling an unprecedented trove of government secrets: up to 35 years in prison, the stiffest punishment ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking to the media. Flanked by his lawyers, Manning, 25, showed no reaction as military judge Col. Denise Lind announced the sentence without explanation in a proceeding that lasted just a few minutes. A gasp could be heard among the spectators, and one woman buried her face in her hands. Then, as guards hurried Manning out of the courtroom, about a half-dozen supporters shouted from the back: “We’ll keep fighting for you, Bradley!” and “You’re our hero!” With good behavior and credit for the more than three years he has been held, Manning could be out in as little as seven years, said his lawyer, David Coombs. The soldier was also demoted and will be dishonorably discharged. The sentencing fired up the long-running debate over whether Manning was a whistleblower or a traitor for giving more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents, plus battlefield footage, to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. By volume alone, it was the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history, bigger even than the Pentagon Papers a generation ago. In a statement from London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange decried Manning’s trial and conviction as “an affront to basic concepts of Western justice.” But he called the sentence a “significant tactical victory” because the soldier could be paroled so quickly. Manning could have gotten 90 years behind bars. Prosecutors asked for at least 60 as a warning to other soldiers, while Manning’s lawyer suggested he get no more than 25, because some of the documents he leaked will be declassified by then. Military prosecutors had no immediate comment on the sentence, and the White House said only that any request for a presidential pardon would be considered “like any other application.” The case was part of an unprecedented string of prosecutions brought by the U.S. government in a crackdown on security breaches. The Obama administration has charged seven people with leaking to the media; only three people were prosecuted under all previous presidents combined. Manning, an Army intelligence analyst from Crescent, Okla., digitally copied and released Iraq and Afghanistan battle- field reports and State Department cables while working in 2010 in Iraq. He also leaked video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that mistakenly killed at least nine people, including a Reuters photographer. Manning said he did it to expose the U.S. military’s “bloodlust” and generate debate over the wars and U.S. policy. He was found guilty by the judge last month of 20 crimes, including six violations of the Espionage Act, but was acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy, which carried a potential life in prison without parole. Whistleblower advocates said the punishment was unprecedented in its severity. Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists said “no other leak case comes close.” The American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International and other activists condemned the sentence. “When a soldier who shared information with the press and public is punished far more harshly than others who tortured prisoners and killed civilians, something is seriously wrong with our justice system,” said Ben Wizner, head of the ACLU’s speech and technology project. Gabriel Schoenfeld, a senior fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute think tank and author of the book “Necessary Secrets,” welcomed Manning’s punishment. “The sentence is a tragedy for Bradley Manning, but it is one he brought upon himself,” he said. “It will certainly serve to bolster deterrence against other potential leakers.” But he also warned that the sentence will ensure that Edward Snowden — the National Security Agency leaker who was charged with espionage in a potentially more explosive case while Manning’s court-martial was underway — “will do his best never to return to the United States and face a trial and stiff sentence.” Coombs said that he was in tears after the sentencing and that Manning comforted him by saying: “Don’t worry about it. It’s all right. I know you did your best. … I’m going to be OK. I’m going to get through this.” Coombs said Manning will seek a presidential pardon or a commuted sentence. “The time to end Brad’s suffering is now,” the defense attorney said. “The time for our president to focus on protecting whistleblowers instead of punishing them is now.” Coombs read from a letter Manning will send to the president in which he said: “I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the United States. It was never my intent to hurt anyone. … When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others.” He made a similar apology during the sentencing phase of the case. Manning’s lawyers also contended that he suffered extreme inner turmoil over his gender identity — his feeling that he was a woman trapped in a man’s body — while serving in the macho military during the “don’t ask, don’t tell” era. Among the evidence was a photo of him in a blond wig and lipstick. HIGH SPEED INTERNET available EVERYWHERE! • Get speeds as FAST as 15mbps (Where available) • Up to 200x Faster than dial-up!

(AP) — A brother of the U.S. soldier who slaughtered 16 Afghan civilians last year began making the case Wednesday for why he should one day be eligible for release from prison, portraying him as a patriotic American and indulgent father who let his son put ranch dressing on chocolate chip pancakes. “There’s no better father that I’ve seen,” William Bales said of his younger brother, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales. “If you brought the kids in here today, they’d run right to him.” Sgt. Bales, 39, pleaded guilty in June in a deal to avoid the death penalty, acknowledging that he slaughtered 16 people, mostly women and children, during unsanctioned, solo, pre-dawn raids on two villages March 11, 2012. A jury is deciding whether he should be sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, or without it. The picture painted by the first defense witness, William Bales, 55, severely contrasted with that portrayed by the soldier’s admissions as well as by the testimony of nine Afghan villagers — victims and their relatives — about the horror Bales wrought. William Bales repeatedly referred to his sibling — once the captain of his high school football team and class president in Norwood, Ohio, where they grew up — as “my baby brother” and “Bobby.” He described how as a teenager his brother cared for a developmentally disabled neighborhood boy, assisting him with basic life functions. The boy’s father also testified how helpful Bales was. “I don’t know too many 16-, 17-year-old boys who could do that,” William Bales said. He also described how the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, changed “good-time Bobby” and how he soon thereafter enlisted in the Army. Prosecutors noted, however, that Bales was also facing a fraud lawsuit when he enlisted. An arbitrator eventually imposed a $1.5 million judgment against Bales and his former stockbroking company. One of Bale’s lawyers, John Henry Browne, said after court Wednesday that his client will speak to the jury at the end of the case, and he will offer an apology for his crimes. On Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, a series of Afghan villagers who traveled about 7,000 miles to testify at the hearing in traditional garb spoke of their lives since the attacks. Haji Mohammad Wazir lost 11 family members, including his mother, wife and six of his seven children. He told the six-member jury that the attacks destroyed what had been a happy life. He was in another village with his youngest son, now 5-year-old Habib Shah, during the attack. “If someone loses one child, you can imagine how devastated their life would be,” said Wazir, who received $550,000 in condolence payments from the U.S. government, out of $980,000 paid in all. His son, now 5, “misses everyone. He hasn’t forgotten any of them.” “I’ve gone through very hard times,” he added. “If anybody speaks to me about the incident … I feel the same, like it’s happening right now.” Wazir and a cousin, Khamal Adin, didn’t get to say everything they wanted to in court. Each asked for permission to speak after the prosecutors’ questions were finished, but the judge said it wasn’t allowed. On Tuesday, a farmer who was shot in the neck cursed Bales before pleading with the prosecutor to ask him no more questions. “This bastard stood right in front of me!” the farmer, Haji Mohammad Naim, testified. “I wanted to ask him, ‘What did I do? What have I done to you?’ … and he shot me!” Browne said Wednesday that the interpreter gave a far milder version of what Naim actually said. Bales’ attorneys, who have said the soldier suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, didn’t cross-examine any of the Afghan witnesses. Two military doctors testified Wednesday, describing the treatment of Bales’ victims, including a young girl who had been shot in the head and spent three months undergoing surgeries and rehabilitation at a naval hospital in San Diego, relearning how to walk. Bales, a 39-year-old Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., was serving his fourth combat deployment when he left the outpost at Camp Belambay in the pre-dawn darkness. He first attacked one village, returning to Belambay only when he realized he was low on ammunition, said prosecutor Lt. Col. Jay Morse. Bales then left to attack another village. The massacre prompted such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations, and it was three weeks before Army investigators could reach the crime scene. A former brigade commander in Afghanistan, Col. Todd Wood, told the jury about arriving at Belambay the morning of the attack to find an angry crowd outside, with four makeshift trucks carrying 13 of the bodies. He said halting combat operations in the area allowed Taliban personnel to openly carry weapons and lay roadside bombs. At the time of the killings, Bales had been under heavy personal, professional and financial stress, Morse said. He had complained to other soldiers that his wife was fat and unattractive and said he’d divorce her except that her father had money. He had stopped paying the mortgage on one of his houses and he was upset that he had not been promoted. During his plea hearing in June, Bales couldn’t explain to a judge why he committed the killings. “There’s not a good reason in this world for why I did the horrible things I did,” he said. If he is sentenced to life with the possibility of parole, Bales would be eligible in 20 years, but there’s no guarantee he would receive it. Thursday’s testimony is expected to focus on Bales’ mental health. �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com No Roby, no Hyde, no Smith means Buckeyes adapt COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — While Armani Reeves spoke to a semicircle of reporters after a recent Ohio State practice, the person he was discussing was about 50 feet behind him seated in an ice bath cooling off after another hot day of work. The distance was more than a little symbolic. Bradley Roby, the Buckeyes’ standout cornerback, isn’t doing any talking these days, at least not publicly. He also isn’t even practicing with the first team. Roby, like fellow stars Carlos Hyde, the Buckeyes’ leading scorer last year, and Hyde’s top backup, Rod Smith, is suspended for the opening game, Aug. 31 at home against Buffalo. All got into trouble. All are paying a price. Some fans think it’s a high price since no one was hurt and there were no serious charges. Others believe the matters have been swept under the scarletand-gray rug outside coach Ur- ban Meyer’s office. Players like Reeves will carry the load for the Buckeyes. “I was always willing to be a hard worker on and off the field,” said Reeves, tabbed to start at Roby’s cornerback spot. “I still learn from the older guys like (Roby). Whether the situation is good or bad I’m just going to take advantage of any opportunity I have and play to the best of my abilities.” Ohio State’s coaches spent nine months making plans to fill the holes left from last year’s 12-0 team. Now, with the opener just over a week away, they must come up with three more replacements. Hyde will miss the first three games after an alleged assault against a woman. Roby will sit out at least the opener after a skirmish at a bar in Bloomington, Ind. Rod Smith, who was expected to take Hyde’s spot, was benched for the first game after a violation of team rules last winter. Roby’s penalty is open-ended because his court case has not been finalized. Charges have been reduced and he’s been offered a deal by the prosecutor that the misdemeanor assault charge will go away if he stays out of trouble in the future. But it’s still unresolved. “He’ll be suspended one game just because there’s an issue,” Meyer said. “I’ll make a further determination once (it’s completed). … I don’t think it’s done.” There are worthy candidates — like Reeves — in the wings. But it’s still not the ideal way to go into a season. Hyde and Smith will likely be replaced by a committee: H-back Jordan Hall, second-year players Bri’onte Dunn and Warren Ball and freshmen Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliott. Wilson has been the talk of camp, with water-bug moves and incredible speed. “Jordan Hall is a guy who has some playing experience and has been through some adversity, obviously,” running backs coach Stan Drayton said, referring to Hall’s injury-riddled career. “He does have some game experience. … Yeah, I’d say he’s probably the No. 1 guy right now.” The coaches have heaped praise on the three chastened players, saying they have refrained from sulking and have taken an active role in preparing the players who will take their spots. “He was wrong. He screwed up. He’s paying a price,” cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs said of Roby. “He works hard at his craft, he studies film, he takes care of his business and he wants to be as good as anybody in the country. He’s not yet. I don’t find him to be different (this season after the suspension). I find him to be embarrassed and I don’t blame him. But I find him to be a guy who’s going about his business as a pro.” Against an overmatched Buffalo team that is coming off a 4-8 record in coach Jeff Quinn’s third season, the suspensions probably won’t be noticed. But integrating suspended players back into the lineup in season isn’t easy without ruffling the feathers of the players who filled in for them or stayed away from offseason trouble. Reeves is excited about the prospect of starting the first game of his sophomore season. “It means a lot,” he said. “You’d never expect a kid from Boston to be playing at Ohio State. It’s a very different experience and I can’t wait to have all my family and friends to see me on the field. It’ll be fun. It’ll be real fun.” But Reeves knows that as soon as Roby is cleared to play, he will likely head back to the sidelines. “Obviously he’s one of the best in the country, if not the best,” Reeves said. “When he comes back I’m still going to do the same thing I’ve been doing all the time and that’s just working hard and helping this team anyway I can.” Bryan Walters | Daily Sentinel Point Pleasant senior Denver Thomas chips on to the first green during an Aug. 12 match at Cliffside Golf Course in Gallipolis, Ohio.

You often juggle mixed feelings, and you might not be very sure of yourself. You have an unusually strong need to take care of others. Do not forget to put yourself at the top of the list. If you are single, your dynamic personality attracts many different people. Dating could be fun, as long as you can go with the flow. If you are attached, the two of you support each other in becoming free thinkers. AQUARIUS can be provocative. 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) You might be more comfortable assuming a low profile right now. You will be able to gather more information while simultaneously doing some much-needed research. Pressure could build, so use a personal technique to control your anger. Tonight: Not to be found. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be dealing with a personal issue. As a result, you could have difficulty maintaining your focus until this situation is resolved. Others immediately will feel the difference when your creativity emerges and your energy changes. Tonight: Add some romance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll feel as though you are on top of your game, and you know full well what you want to communicate. You have a unique ability to draw others toward you. You will like the feedback you get from a close friend. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s before the weekend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be more creative in how you follow through on your priorities. Do not get caught up in a momentary disagreement or in others’ concerns. You know what works well for you. Realize that when given space, you could manifest what you most desire. Tonight: Use your energy well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Allow yourself to have some downtime. You will be much happier if you relax. A financial offer might be too good to be true. Be careful, and double-check the facts. Listen to your inner voice, and follow it — it will keep you out of trouble. Tonight: Meet up with a partner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Energy levels increase as the day goes on. Do not feel as if you have to push hard to accomplish anything right now, as you will have the time and vitality later today or in the near future to complete what you must. Tonight: Go along with a partner’s suggestion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Plug away at work as if there were no tomorrow. You have many ideas, but don’t push yourself too hard; you will have time to get everything done. A boss or relative demands a lot. Let this person know that you know what you are doing. Tonight: Put your energy into a project. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity will emerge, and you could feel more focused by late afternoon. A true friend will stand behind you. In fact, your bond will become stronger in the next few weeks. You might find yourself in a position where you are able to manifest your desires. Tonight: At home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds in the next few weeks to take a stronger stand at work or to step up to the plate with a caretaking issue. You will have the energy and the knowledge to make some important decisions that you have been putting off. Tonight: Start planning your weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are willing to push yourself to extremes in order to accomplish what you want. Selfdiscipline is one of your assets, but also be sure to honor your limitations. You’ll want to have the physical energy afterward to enjoy the results! Tonight: Use caution with your funds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get as much done as you can in the morning, when you are able to accomplish more. Also, others will be more receptive then. Deal on a one-on-one level with a close partner or associate. This person is easier to work with under the present circumstances. Tonight: A mini shopping trip.

He didn’t lead a lap and didn’t get involved in any of the day’s incidents. But the fivetime Sprint Cup champion finished eighth, good enough to clinch at least a wild-card spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. He leads the points by 75 over Clint Bowyer. LOWLIGHTS Two Hen2 HENDRICK drick Motorsports drivers — Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne — saw their top-10 hopes eliminated in the same accident. Matt Kenseth started the six-car crash, one that also involved pole winner Marcos Ambrose. It also was a bad day for Hendrick’s Jeff Gordon, who crashed early and finished 36th. WILD Kasey Kahne’s four3 GOING position drop in the point standings Sunday could have a big impact on the Chase wild-card race. Kahne fell to 12th in points, out of the magic top 10, and he automatically became the wild-card leader with two wins. Next on the wild-card list with a single win is Ryan Newman, who places 14th. 4 MAXIMUM MAX Despite being booted into a spin by Greg Biffle near the race’s halfway point, Max Papis, substituting for the injured Tony Stewart, rallied to finish 15th in the No. 14 Chevrolet. Papis said he would have had a top 10 without the accident. “I’m super proud of keeping the seat of ‘Smoke’ as warm as I could,” Papis said. Sprint Cup Standings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

He gained a position in points to fifth and now has three wins, enough to virtually guarantee a wild-card spot if he falls out of the top 10 (and that’s unlikely). JEFF GORDON After appearing to be on course to make the Chase, Gordon now has ground to make up. His early-race wreck left him with a 36th-place finish, and he fell to 13th in points, 15 out of the top 10. He’s still looking for his first seasonal win. Compiled and written by Mike Hembree.

Opportunity Gained, Opportunity Lost NATIONWIDE SERIES Kyle Busch scores third win of 2013; Brad Keselowski misses out on first victory of season By MIKE HEMBREE Athlon Sports Contributor After last year’s wild NASCAR Sprint Cup finish at Watkins Glen International, with eventual winner Marcos Ambrose, Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch slipping, sliding and generally going crazy on a slick racing surface, there were expectations of similar shenanigans at the track Sunday in the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen. Didn’t happen. Although the stage was set. The field took the final green flag with two laps to go and Keselowski running second to Busch. Ambrose wasn’t in the picture. Keselowski ran in Busch’s shadow over the final two laps and probably could have spun him and inherited the lead, but the aggressiveness didn’t reach the level of last season, and Busch rolled home with a .486-second victory. Busch, with his third win of the year secured, said he wasn’t sure what to expect over the race’s closing segment, especially in light of the finishes here the past two years. In 2011, he led with two laps to go but dropped to third at the finish. He was in first starting the final lap last year but slid off track in oil and then was hit by Keselowski when he returned to the track. “All those thoughts ran through my head,” Busch said. “I really had no clue. It was just run as hard as you can, drive your car, try not to worry about what’s behind you, whatever happens happens, and we’ll deal with it. You know, I commend Brad for doing a better job this year at bringing home a cleaner race.” Keselowski, who finished second to significantly improve his chances of qualifying for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, said there was no plan to spin Busch. “There’s racing and wrecking,” he said. “Those are two different things. Everybody defines them a little differently, and I guess that’s the code you live your life by. Me, I define last year as racing, and some people would define that as wrecking. “If I was going to take out Kyle today, it would have been wrecking in my mind, and there’s a distinct difference.” Keselowski said it was tough to accept second on a day in which he had a strong car. “That stinks, but that’s racing,” he said. “We had a shot at it. I was going to have to wreck him to really get it, and I didn’t want to do that. I thought I could cross him over here on the last corner, and the car just slid the back end a little too much, and I just couldn’t quite pull off the move.” Completing the top five on a day filled with scrambles and scrambling were Martin Truex Jr., Carl Edwards and Juan Pablo Montoya. Point leader Jimmie Johnson was eighth, and Max Papis, filling in for injured Chevrolet driver Tony Stewart, bounced back from a spin to finish 15th. The race was slowed by eight cautions and a red flag (after heavy oil was dumped on the racing surface after an accident). The biggest crash occurred late in the race. Matt Kenseth tapped Ambrose, igniting a six-car crash that also involved Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne. A few laps later, Ambrose, Papis and Brian Vickers were involved in a wreck that brought out the eighth and final caution and set up the two-lap dash to the finish. That gave Keselowski and others one more shot at challenging Busch, who led the final 29 laps of the race. But Rowdy breezed home and looks like a solid championship contender as the Chase approaches. Busch described the finish as a “relief, a big sigh of relief, just a deep breath, just like, ‘Whew.’ I didn’t even say anything until I got over to the backstretch. I was just trying to take it all in and figure it all out. “The last couple of years here have been tough, and today it could have been tough again, but we were raced clean, and we put on a good show, I felt like. We’ve had fast cars here. We felt like we deserved to win here and just haven’t quite been able to put it all together where it matters.” On Sunday, he did. In a big way. Are Stewart’s risks worth the reward? By MIKE HEMBREE Athlon Sports Contributor After 521 consecutive starts, beginning with the first Sprint Cup race of his career in 1999, Tony Stewart sat out Sunday’s Cheez-It 355 at The Glen. Stewart suffered two breaks in his right leg in a crash during a sprintcar race Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway. He remained hospitalized as the Watkins Glen weekend began, and there was no clear indication when he might return to the seat in his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Sprint Cup car. Austin Dillon is scheduled to replace him in Sunday’s race at Michigan. Ironically, only one day before the short-track crash that sent him to the hospital, Stewart had vigorously defended his decision to race whenever and wherever he pleases, even with the possibility that such activity could negatively impact his Sprint Cup situation. When that exact problem occurred, other drivers raced to Stewart’s defense, pointing out that his individual traveling circus does much for motorsports in general and short tracks in particular and that he should be able to race as often as he wants. Being in that group of drivers who have earned fabulous wealth in racing, Stewart certainly has the wherewithal to race whenever he pleases, and he should be able to make his own decisions about the various risks and rewards associated with such activity. The problem arrives when one considers the impact Stewart’s current situation has on his Sprint Cup team. Stewart entered the Watkins Glen weekend 11th in Sprint Cup points.

Once again, as with any repaved track, it needs to get seasoned. And it will, sitting through those cold winters up there. But it’ll take a couple years for it to really come in. Before the repave, the drivers loved Michigan because it had multiple grooves that allowed passing in the corners and on the straights. It was really a high-speed track that, for some reason, always tended to boil down to fuel mileage. If you want high speed — especially with this new Gen-6 race car — you want to go to Michigan.” seemed to have a better-than-average shot at making the Chase for the Sprint Cup and competing for a fourth Cup championship. Now those chances essentially have disappeared. That’s one of the risks Stewart took driving in other events. Unfortunately, the result of that risk also impacts the men and women who work long hours (24 hours a day, seven days a week, if you believe garage-area talk) to keep Stewart in first-class machinery. When Stewart’s sprint car crashed hard, their hopes and dreams of riding to a Sprint Cup title disappeared. It is that situation — not the impact on sponsors — that Stewart should consider in future endeavors. His short-track racing has its value (and it’s clearly an important outlet for him), but is it worth throwing away a shot at the most important trophy in stock car racing for those who work in the trenches?

Although he was forced to start at the back of the field due to a practice crash with Dale Earnhardt the day prior, Martin quickly worked his way to the front and sat on point for 141 laps. Of course, as Martin’s luck has often gone, the race came down to fuel mileage, and his racecar — leading by 16 seconds — was just shy of completing the distance. Ricky Rudd’s No. 5 Tide Chevy, which was running in second place, pitted five laps earlier on the last round of green stops and finished the race. Martin’s tank ran dry with just under 10 laps remaining, and Rudd took it from there, holding off a hard-charging Jeff Gordon to earn his lone win of the 1993 season. It marked the 11th straight year Rudd had won at least one event on the Cup circuit. The streak would continue for five more seasons. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Greg Biffle owns consecutive Cup wins at Michigan as well as two others in 2004 and ’05. Pretty Solid Pick: Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s last two Sprint Cup Series wins have come at MIS ... and he’s in need of another for use in the Chase. Good Sleeper Pick: There’s no guarantee here, but Danica Patrick finished a respectable 13th in the series’ visit to MIS in June. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Juan Pablo Montoya’s average finish of 22.0 in Brooklyn is nothing to write to Colombia about. Insider Tip: Finding speed in Michigan is dependent on areo and engineering. However, these races often come down to fuel mileage. Photos by ASP, Inc. fever Visit our website to show off your auto racing knowledge & sprint to the cup for great weekly prizes!
