The grand jury returned new indictments last week against Joseph and Brenda Stewart in connection with the crimes. Joseph Stewart, 39, of Middleport, is now charged with five counts of rape, a felony of the first degree; one count of illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the first degree; illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree; and sexual battery, a felony of the third degree. According to the indictment, the methamphetamine-related charges occurred on or about Aug. 21, while the rape charges occurred from June 30 to Aug. 18. The indictment alleges that from June 30, 2013, to Aug. 18, 2013, Stewart did engage in sexual conduct with another when he purposely compelled the other person to submit by force or threat of force. The charge of sexual battery in the indictment states that no person shall engage in sexual conduct with another, not the spouse of the offender, when he is either the other person’s natural or adoptive parent. Joseph Stewart has been in jail on a $500,000 bond. Attorney Michael Huff had been appointed to represent Joseph Stewart. Brenda Stewart, 43, of Middleport, is now charged with one count each illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the first degree; illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree; rape, a felony of the first degree; and endangering children, a felony of the third degree. One of the charges against Brenda Stewart had previously been charged as a lower degree felony. The new indictment reclassified the crime of illegal assembly or possession of a chemical for the manufacture of methamphetamine. Both Joseph and Brenda Stewart are scheduled to appear in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Nov. 20. Joseph Stewart was originally charged with one count each illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, See CHARGES | 2 Memorial 5K Road Race set for Nov. 30 Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com Submitted photos This group of Veterans along with several others that are not pictured were honored Monday during the Veterans Day assembly at Southern High School.

Bush earned the EAME Theater Ribbon with four Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart, French Fourragere and The Bronze Star. Bush was in the 106th Cavalry until he returned to England where he was moved to the 121st Cavalry. This move was made because the Army found out that he and his brother were in the same Cavalry and split them up. Bush departed for home Oct. 14, 1945 and his ship arrived nine days later on Oct. 22, 1945. He was discharged as Corporal Tec. 5 on October 27, 1945. Bush was in Austria at the time the peace treaty was signed to end World War II.

According to the Gallia County 911 Center, dispatchers were first alerted to the fire at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, with the first firefighters arriving on scene at the restaurant located at 1308 Eastern Avenue at 7:15 a.m. The majority of the crews cleared the scene at approximately 9:48 a.m., according to dispatchers. Gallipolis Fire Chief Keith Elliott reported on Wednesday afternoon that, although the fire remains under investigation with the Division of State Fire Marshal, the fire does not appear to be suspicious in nature. Elliott further reported that he believed that the origin of the fire was in the attic space within the building. Firefighters had to force entry within the building and subsequently gain entry into the attic in- a felony of the second degree; illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine; rape, a felony of the first degree; and sexual battery, a felony of the third degree. Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams stated that while original charges will not be dismissed at this time, once the case is resolved the first case will likely be dismissed. The Stewarts were arrested Aug. 21 following the discovery of a large methamphetamine lab at 60 1/2 Cole Street in Middleport. At that time, deputies, along with Department of Jobs and Family Services Children Services workers interviewed a minor female who alleged forced sexual abuse by her step-father, Joseph G. Stewart. After interviewing the minor child’s mother, Brenda A. Stewart, along with the step-father, it was determined sexual abuse had occurred, ac- cording to law enforcement. Middleport Police Chief Bruce Swift and Sheriff Wood have said officers with both departments responded to 60 1/2 Cole Street following up on a tip received through Meigs County Children Services regarding a methamphetamine lab and possible sexual abuse of a minor at the residence. The Stewarts live in an apartment at that address, according to Swift. While searching the residence, deputies located a one-pot reactionary vessel and white powder which tested positive for methamphetamine, along with chemicals used in the production of methamphetamine. The apartment building with around 25 residents — including some children according to the sheriff — had to be evacuated due to the dangers from the methamphetamine lab. Once the lab was neutralized and the building cleared of the chemicals, residents were allowed to return to their homes. �Thursday, November 14, 2013 The Daily Sentinel s Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Rewind Thursday, Nov. 14 Thursday, Nov. 7 Minnesota 34 Washington Philadelphia Jacksonville Pittsburgh N.Y.

The son and namesake of the Super Bowl champion New York Giant, Ingram was a firstround pick in 2011 but had failed to break the century mark on the ground until his 30th NFL game. Ingram had 14 carries for 145 yards (10.4 ypc) and his first TD of the season. The breakout accounts for 11.4 percent of Ingram’s 1,271 career rushing yards, while the score was Ingram’s 11th career TD. TAVON AUSTIN, WR, RAMS St. Louis’ “Greatest Show on Turf” may be making a revival in the form of the dynamic Austin, the Rams’ triple-threat receiver-runnerreturner. The 5'8", 176-pound rookie out of West Virginia was a highlight-reel play waiting to happen during a 38–8 win at Indianapolis. Austin had two catches for 138 yards (69 ypc) and two trips to the end zone, along with an electric 98-yard punt return for a score. On the return TD, Austin scooped the ball off the bounce in the dreaded “coffin corner,” made a few joystick video game moves and showed off his 4.34 speed in the 40-yard dash to tightrope down the sideline for a coast-to-coast TD. WILL BLACKMON, CB, JAGUARS Other defenders had bigger complete games, but Blackmon had arguably the biggest single play of Week 10. The winless Jaguars pulled off a 29–27 upset victory over the AFC South rival Titans to snap a 12-game losing streak. Coincidentally, Jacksonville’s last win came against Tennessee in Week 12 last season. Blackmon sealed the desperation win with a perfectly executed blitz from his slot nickleback position, forcing a fumble of Titans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, gaining possession of the loose ball and strutting 20 yards to the house. MARSHAWN LYNCH, RB, SEAHAWKS “Beast Mode” was in full effect during a 33–10 victory at Atlanta. Lynch bulldozed the Falcons with 24 carries for 145 yards and one TD, three catches for 16 yards and a crucial pass back to quarterback Russell Wilson on a flea-flicker gadget play that resulted in a 43-yard TD pass from Wilson to Jermaine Kearse. After the game, Hawks coach Pete Carroll joked that Lynch’s wounded duck pass back to Wilson was “about a C-minus” grade and that the “style points were poor.” Luckily, Lynch is an “A-plus” as a runner, as the league’s secondleading rusher behind Philly’s LeSean McCoy. While other teams scramble to find one QB, Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly has a debate on his hands — although fantasy owners would disagree entirely. Kelly refuses to name MICHAEL VICK or Nick Foles as his “starter” until Vick returns from a hamstring injury. Foles, however, has thrown 16 TDs and zero INTs on his way to becoming one of fantasy football’s top waiver wire pickups of the season.

Bullied by the Bay Bad to worse: Dolphins lose to winless Bucs By NATHAN RUSH Athlon Sports Editor The Miami Dolphins off-the-field problems — or more accurately, their inside-the-locker-room issues — spilled onto the field during a miserable 22–19 loss to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. The pinnacle of the Bucs’ season thus far coincided with what the Fins hope is rock bottom for the onceproud franchise. Miami struggled to protect quarterback Ryan Tannehill or scrape together any semblance of a running game after right tackle Jonathan Martin left the team due to alleged “bullying” by right guard Richie Incognito, who was suspended in the wake of the accusations as well as the revelation of a profanity-laced, racially charged voicemail from Incognito to Martin. The Dolphins managed just two yards on 14 rushes for a comical 5.14 inches per carry against Tampa Bay. What isn’t a laughing matter is the ongoing investigation regarding the so-called “hazing” of Martin by the Dolphins’ O-line and Incognito, in particular. Martin left the team last month due to “harassment that went far beyond the traditional locker room hazing,” Martin’s lawyer said. “What’s gone on, it’s really something that couldn’t have been a worse nightmare,” said Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, whose scheduled Wednesday meeting with Martin was postponed at the request of the NFL league office. “The most important thing is that we care about Jonathan Martin.” Athlon Board of Experts This Week’s Games & Experts’ Records Colts at Titans (Thu.) Jets at Bills Falcons at Buccaneers Lions at Steelers Redskins at Eagles Cardinals at Jaguars Raiders at Texans Ravens at Bears Browns at Bengals Chargers at Dolphins Packers at Giants Vikings at Seahawks 49ers at Saints Chiefs at Broncos Patriots at Panthers (Mon.) Athlon Sports Miami Dolphins right guard Richie Incognito has been indefinitely suspended following his “hazing” of right tackle Jonathan Martin. Incognito, who has a longstanding reputation as a dirty player, did an interview with Jay Glazer on NFL FOX Sunday, discussing the now infamous vulgar voicemail as well as his relationship with Martin, a second-year lineman out of Stanford. “When I see that voicemail, when I see those words come up across the screen, I’m embarrassed by it. I’m embarrassed by my actions. But what I want people to know is, the way Jonathan and the rest of the offensive line and how our teammates, how we communicate, it’s vulgar. It’s, it’s not right,” said Incognito. “When the words are put in the context, I understand why a lot of eyebrows get raised. But people don’t know how Jon and I communicate to one another.” Meanwhile, Martin has remained out of the spotlight after spending time in a South Florida hospital for emotional distress. The Dolphins and NFL continue to investigate what transpired in Miami. “We want to get to the bottom of it,” Ross told reporters Monday. “We want to hear what the real facts are. There’s been so much said and done to date that I don’t think anybody really knows what has happened.” What is known is that Miami has lost five of its last six games, including an ugly loss to Tampa Bay.

Last year, the Colts swept the Titans, winning 19–13 in Week 8 and 27–23 in Week 14. JETS (5-4) AT BILLS (3-7) New York’s Geno Smith beat Buffalo’s EJ Manuel in the battle of rookie quarterbacks with a 27–20 win in Week 3 this year. Smith’s 69-yard go-ahead fourth-quarter TD pass to Santonio Holmes proved to be the difference in a sloppy game that included a combined 27 penalties for 255 lost yards. FALCONS (2-7) AT BUCCANEERS (1-8) One of Atlanta’s two wins this season came at home against Tampa Bay. The Dirty Birds were able to pull off a 31–23 Week 7 win over the Pewter Pirates. This is a race to the bottom for these two NFC South “have nots,” which are futilely chasing the “haves,” Saints and Panthers. LIONS (6-3) AT STEELERS (3-6) A battle of bizarro Rust Belt, as the usual loser Lions are riding high while the six-time Super Bowl champion Steelers are in the gutter. REDSKINS (3-6) AT EAGLES (5-5) This could be the day the spread option offense died. Then again, RG3 could party like it’s 2012 and Nick Foles could continue his onslaught of high-TD, no-INT attacks on opposing defenses. CARDINALS (5-4) AT JAGUARS (1-8) Jacksonville has not won back-to-back games since Dec. 12, 2010, when the Jags took down the visiting Raiders the week after winning on the road against the Titans — which J-Ville did last week for its first win of the season. RAIDERS (3-6) AT TEXANS (2-7) Houston, we have a problem — the visiting Raiders have fewer problems than the Texans. RAVENS (4-5) AT BEARS (5-4) The defending Super Bowl champions are 1–4 on the road this season just months after raising the Vince Lombardi Trophy thanks to three straight wins away from Baltimore. BROWNS (4-5) AT BENGALS (6-4) Cleveland shocked Cincinnati with a 17–6 win in the Buckeye Bowl in Week 4 this season. CHARGERS (4-5) AT DOLPHINS (4-5) San Diego heads to Miami in a battle of fairweathered teams with fan bases that prefer going to the beach over watching NFL football. PACKERS (5-4) AT GIANTS (3-6) This was a marquee matchup between two Super Bowl QBs when the schedule came out. Now it’s just a painful reminder of the tailspin these two teams are currently in. VIKINGS (2-7) AT SEAHAWKS (9-1) “All Day” Adrian Peterson and “Beast Mode” Marshawn Lynch will go helmet-to-helmet in front of Seattle’s “12th Man” in a battle of nicknamed old-school workhorse running backs. 49ERS (6-3) AT SAINTS (7-2) Bring the surge protectors and flashlights, the Niners are returning to the New Orleans Superdome for the first time since the 34-minute blackout at Super Bowl XLVII. The lights have been flickering for Colin Kaepernick this season. The former golden boy has struggled with just six TDs and six INTs since a three-TD, zero-INT effort in a win over Green Bay in Week 1. Meanwhile, Drew Brees’ stats have been blinding, with 11 TDs and two INTs the last three weeks. CHIEFS (9-0) AT BRONCOS (8-1) This AFC West heavyweight showdown was a Peyton Manning homecoming loss at Indy away from being a battle of unbeatens. Not surprisingly, Kansas City (+104) and Denver (+133) are two of the top three teams in point differential this season. The Chiefs have not allowed more than 17 points in any game this season, while the Broncos are averaging 41.2 points per game with a season-low of “only” 28 points. PATRIOTS (7-2) AT PANTHERS (6-3) Carolina is keeping elite company these days, joining Kansas City and Seattle as the only teams in the NFL riding at least a five-game winning streak. The Panthers, however, may be the victim of bad timing against the Patriots. New England is 10–3 in 13 games following a bye week under coach Bill Belichick. And prior to the Pats’ off week, they exploded for a 55-point, 610-total-yard offensive fireworks display against the Steelers. But don’t count out Cam Newton in the spotlight. During the Cats’ fivegame electric blue win streak, Newton has accounted for 10 TDs and three turnovers. fever Visit our website to show your grasp of the gridiron for a chance to win great prizes!

Gallipolis, OH 740-446-7891 Mon-Thurs 11am-12am Fri-Sat 11am-2am Sun 11am-12am 60448586 �OPINION The Daily Sentinel Page 4 Thursday, November 14, 2013 Stifling activism, Preventing war the bureaucratic way with Iran is top priority Laura Finley, Ph.D. Sheldon Richman The best way to keep Iran from building a nuclear bomb is for the Obama administration and its nuclear client Israel to stop threatening the Islamic Republic. Look at recent history. In 2003 Iraq’s government had no nuclear weapons (or other WMD). The U.S. government invaded, and before long Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was hanging from a rope. In 2011 Libya’s government had no nuclear weapons. The U.S. government led NATO on a bombing campaign to help a group of rebels, and before long Libyan Col. Muammar Qaddafi lay dead on a roadside. Today Syria has no nuclear weapons. The U.S. government and NATO are currently aiding rebels seeking to overthrow (and likely kill) President Bashar al-Assad. On the other hand, North Korea has nuclear weapons, and Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un appears safe from any regime change sponsored by the U.S. government and NATO. Lesson for foreign leaders who are in the doghouse with the U.S. government: Get a nuke. Therefore it follows that not threatening a foreign regime is a good way to keep it from following the yellowcake road. And it sure beats threatening war, which all too easily can become actual war. Iran is not building a bomb. U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies have said so repeatedly. The Islamic Republic, unlike Israel, is a party to the nuclear NonProliferation Treaty and is thus subject to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Moreover, the Islamic regime long ago issued a fatwa, invoked many times since, condemning WMD as immoral. Furthermore, a nuke would be useless as an offensive weapon for Iran. (Iran has not attacked another nation in hundreds of years, but it was attacked by U.S.-backed Iraq in 1980.) Israel has an arsenal of at least 200 nuclear warheads, some mounted on submarines for a second-strike capability. The U.S. government has thousands. Say what you want about the Iranian leadership, but it is not suicidal. Thus, the only value for Iran in having a nuclear weapon would be in deterring an attack. Stop threatening an attack, and that value vanishes. Why then do President Obama and Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, refuse to take war against the Iranian people off the table? The Israeli government wants to prevent any change that would limit its freedom of action in the region — which has included repeated mass violence against the Palestinians and the Lebanese — and the U.S. government, largely for domestic political reasons, backs Israel to the hilt. President Obama and Vice-President Biden are only the latest American politicians to declare that “no daylight” exists between the United States and Israel — despite the absurdity of that claim. I am writing and raging. Raging because I am tired, oh so tired, of my activism being repressed or limited by bureaucratic minutia and ridiculous protocol. I am even more upset at the ways bureaucracy stifles my students who, because they are informed and outraged, want to act and are told they can’t, or can only under certain conditions…blah, blah, blah. I am coming to realize that this squelching of real activism happens on so many fronts, even those we typically associate with freedom to assembly and expression. As a college professor, I have witnessed the difficulty of enacting a true mission for social justice because, any time we get “too controversial,” we might alienate a donor, future donor, or other bureaucratic big-wig. Thus final approval for activism, it seems, must come from, of all places, a division devoted to making money for the institution, not one devoted to its mission or to the empowerment of students as leaders. It is even worse for students. Increasingly, students are told they can only organize if they get institutional approval. And they must speak out only in designated “free speech zones”—wasn’t the United States founded as a free speech zone? How oxymoronic, emphasis on the latter half of the word. Those who have power can lord over those without, curtailing their efforts to envision and begin creating a better world. It is not just academe where this is a problem, however. I have written before about the bureaucracy of social services and the ways that these entities sometimes harm, rather than help. It is even evident among progressive peace and justice organizations, although I would argue it looks different. It may be disguised as offering a “voice” to all, but when some exercise veto power, or at least attempt to do so via bureaucratic strangling, the result is the same. For instance, I have seen this squelching of ambition and activism via an electronic handcuff known as track changes. Instead of applauding persons who author critical commentary on social issues, an important form of activism, I would argue, I have seen members of peace and justice organizations attempt to curtail or rein it in by softening the word choice and track-changing the ever-loving-hell out of a document. So, instead of being justice-oriented yet provocative, this activism ends up mundane and, in all likelihood, boring and unread. What do I recommend? We let people be and we let them put their messages out there. Others who may disagree can do so. Dialogue will ensue—a good thing. We stop using our academic privilege to present as though our style of delivery is better than others. And, we encourage students, academics, and activists to prevail through the bureaucracy until they are heard. I know I will, rant aside.

Lang, AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES — The next generation of gaming is nearly here, but what about the generation after that one? Sony and Microsoft are launching their new super-powered consoles in the coming weeks. However, gamemakers at last week’s Game Developers Conference Next in Los Angeles were already contemplating outside-the-box innovations — from wearable controllers to illuminated living rooms — that might follow the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Here’s a glimpse at five big ideas pondered at GDC Next: SEEING IS BELIEVING While the virtual reality headset seemed to go the way of the beeper in 1990s, updated takes on that technology have emerged that could make a big impact on the way players view virtual worlds in the future. Google Glass, Oculus Rift and CastAR are already giving early adopters a peek at images in 3D or projected in real life — all without a TV screen. ___ TIME WARP Games have long explored what’s physically impossible in the real world, like instantly teleporting across space in the first-person puzzler “Portal” or effortlessly bending time in the 2D platformer “Braid.” With higher definition graphics, new controllers and increased fidel- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government started the first month of the 2014 budget year with a smaller budget deficit, signaling further improvement in the nation’s finances at a time when lawmakers are wrestling to reach a deal to keep the gov- ernment open past January. The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the deficit in October was $91.6 billion. That’s 24 percent lower than the $120 billion imbalance recorded in October 2012. The deficit is the gap between the government’s tax revenue and spending. Across-the-board spending cuts and the partial government shutdown helped reduce expenditures last month, the first of the new budget year. Higher taxes and a better economy also boosted revenue. Southern From Page 1 World War II and the peace that they helped preserver around the world. Two World War II Veterans were present during this portion of the ceremony, Mr. Charles Bush and Mr. Paul Beegle. During the inside portion of the ceremony Mr. Delbert Smith, who also served during World War II was present. The first grade class sang “This Land is Your Land” and “God Bless the USA” accompanied by music teachers Darin Jackson and Chad Dodson, then as the various classes were dismissed to the gymnasium, the band played a series of patriotic songs. Inside, the more somber part of the assembly began with the legion “presenting the colors” and presentation of the flags. Veterans Day Quotes were read by the members of the Southern National Honor Society. Next Superintendent Tony Deem came to the podium where he addressed those in attendance and read a biography of this year’s Southern Local honoree, Mr. Charles Bush. Bush was presented a plaque and received a long standing ovation by the student body and guests in attendance. In memory of those that made the ultimate sacrifice in war, Deem and USMC ret. Ed Baker, Technology Director, gave a roll call of Meigs Countians who lost their lives during all wars from World War II to the present. Lighted candles were extinguished and a bell tolled for each name on the roll call. At the conclusion of the roll call, band members Jacob Hoback and A.J. Roush played Taps followed by retiring of the flags by the American Legion and dismissal. Refreshments were then served to guests in the new Southern vocational agriculture room.

The children will move in a group from store to store through the downtown and conclude with some refreshments in the mini-park. Award From Page 1 George M. Bush and Jacob M. Bush. At one time, five of the Bush brothers were overseas at once. Upon returning to the States, Charles Bush married the love of his life, Marie Gainer, on December 13, 1945. He has remained faithful to his loving bride for the past 68 years and the couple will enjoy their 68th wedding anniversary this December. Mr. and Mrs. Bush have four children — Harry, Donna, Bill and Peggy. Both sons served their country in the Air Force, while the oldest, Harry, served in the Vietnam War. Not only was Bush a servant for his country, but he was a loyal employee, as well. He worked for Marietta Truck growers, was a state inspector for fruits and vegetables, was self-employed for a time, worked for Bob Lee, and for 32 years worked for the Farm Bureau at Landmark and MGM. He has been a pastor at Fellowship Church of Lord Jesus Christ in Racine for 49 years. Charles has been a member of Farm Bureau for 60 years, and a lifetime member of Racine American Legion Post 602 and the VFW. He became a graduate of Southern High School in 2010 on his 90th birthday. Many words describe Bush: honorable, loyal, full of integrity, and a God-fearing man. In the words of his daughter Peggy, “He is my father and my hero.” Ohio Valley Forecast Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 49. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph. Thursday Night: Clear, with a low around 30.

Rio Grande entered the contest as the top-scoring team in all of NAIA Division I, as well as shooting the highest field-goal percentage in the country. The RedStorm, who fell just short of their bid for three-straight games over 100 points, led wireto-wire once again and improved to 3-0 on the young season, led by the all-around play of Thomas, a junior guard from Maplewood, New Jersey. Thomas finished the game with the first doubledouble (and near tripledouble) of her Rio Grande career with 15 points, 10 assists, and seven steals. Performing right along with her was Bonar, a sophomore forward from Hartford, Ohio, with 26 points and 13 rebounds to her credit. Gambill, a freshman guard hailing from Ashland, Kentucky, would crack the 20-point barrier for the second game in a row by finishing with 20 points and hitting on 60% of her threepoint attempts (6/10). Rio Grande jumped out to a 19-7 advantage with just under 14 minutes to play in the first half thanks to a quick 8-0 run. They would not look back in the first half and generally keep that same distance, as the halftime score stood at 50-39. The second half was more of the same, as the RedStorm would enjoy its largest lead at 94-69 with three minutes left before surrendering seven of the final nine points to finish the game at 96-76. Rio Grande finished the game netting nearly 51% of their shots from the field, including 35% from three-point range and 67% from the foul line. The RedStorm simply owned the glass by outrebounding the Cougars 52-33. Besides the aforementioned player, Rio Grande also got great production from freshman Brooke Marcum (Vinton, OH) with 10 points and seven rebounds and freshman Alexis Payne (Deep Water, WV) with nine points and five rebounds off the bench. Mount Vernon Nazarene (1-3) was led on the night by Megan Beidelman’s 17 points off the bench and Erica Cramer’s 16-point performance. Courtney Christie (11), Amy Daniels (11) and Ainsleigh Krause (10) also reached double-figures in the loss.

Bengals look for turnaround against Browns defense CINCINNATI (AP) — Sixty minutes, 266 yards, 64 plays, zero touchdowns. Those numbers stung the Bengals for a long time. They went to Cleveland for the fourth game of the season and failed to get into the end zone during a 17-6 loss that left them embarrassed. An offense with so many options couldn’t even cross the goal line one time. So much went wrong. So much has changed. The Bengals (6-4) went on one of the best offensive surges in club history after that game, pulling away in the AFC North. Lately, they’ve dropped two in a row in overtime on the road, giving Cleveland (4-5) a chance to elbow its way back into the race on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. There’s more to it, though. That first game on Sept. 29 is still a sticking point. “I don’t care what player you are in this league, you’ve been humbled at some point,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said on Wednesday. “And sometimes it takes a week that humbles you a little bit to get the best out of you. “So they caught us and it was a good day for them, and we get another chance. Round two is coming up.” The first time the Bengals faced their intrastate rival, they had an overriding issue. With rookie tight end Tyler Eifert and rookie running back Giovani Bernard blending into the passing game, Cincinnati was still trying to figure how all the pieces fit on offense. The no-touchdown loss in Cleveland prompted offensive coordinator Jay Gruden to dub the offense a jack of all trades and master of none. Looking for that identity, the Bengals committed themselves to running the ball the following week and beat New England. Andy Dalton then went on the best three-game stretch of his career, throwing 11 touchdown passes in wins over Buffalo, Detroit and the Jets. The offense had come together. In the last two weeks, it’s reverted to a pass-dominated approach that’s come up just short. Dalton threw 53 and 51 passes in overtime losses at Miami and Baltimore. He was sacked 10 times in the two games and threw three interceptions in each game. The Bengals managed only three points in the first half at Miami and were shut out in the first half at Baltimore, forcing them to throw in order to pull off second-half comebacks. “Part of the reason we’re down is because of the turnovers,” Gruden said. “We’re putting ourselves into a hole with the turnovers. We’re putting ourselves in little holes and then they turn into big holes because we’re pressing.” A lot of it is on Dalton, whose interceptions have been too much to overcome. It’s the first time in his career that he’s thrown six interceptions in two games. Stretch Playoff From Page 6 From Page 6 league’s worst teams (Georgia State and South Alabama).

Best bet: 7-3-1. Upset special: 4-6. thing that matters now is surviving and advancing —something that, historically, has not been easy for the Big Blacks. Point Pleasant — which is making its 11th postseason appearance in school history — owns an alltime playoff mark of 4-10 overall, and only twice in those previous 10 trips have the Big Blacks had at least one postseason victory. Three of those four wins also came in 2011, when PPHS advanced to the Class AA state final before losing to state champion Wayne. The only other playoff win in Point Pleasant history came in 1979, when the Big Blacks earned their firstever postseason victory over George Washington in a Class AAA opening round contest. That win also serves as Point’s only postseason triumph at the Class AAA level, a span of 34 seasons. PPHS head coach Dave Darst — who owns a 52-19 overall record and 3-5 playoff mark in seven seasons at the helm — was a sophomore lineman on that 1979 team, so he knows how special it is to win a AAA playoff contest first hand. Then again, Point has lost six straight postseason games in AAA — so he’d like to see another group of Big Blacks join his teammates. “We’ve talked to the kids about the fact that we’ve only won one AAA playoff game. This is a chance for this group to put their stamp on something that only one other team here has done,” Darst said. “The 2011 group — which some of these guys were part of — did something special, but that was at the AA level. It’s time for us to do something big on the big stage. “We really hope to be playing next week, but we have to focus on what we need to do against Logan to make that a reality.” The visiting Wildcats (7-3) are the obstacle that now awaits either history or disappointment, a team that has had no luck when it comes to postseason results. Logan will be making the program’s sixth playoff appearance in football, but the Wildcats are 0-5 alltime in the second season. LHS will also be playing with a little more fire than most weeks, as 10th-year head coach Gary Mullins is stepping down from the position following the season. Mullins has guided Logan to five of its six playoff appearances, including two of Cael Sanderson left Iowa State for Penn State because he saw the Nittany Lions as a potential national powerhouse. Having long established them as the country’s premier program, Sanderson enters his fifth season in State College with a shot at history. Penn State, which opens its dual season on Saturday at Rider, could be the first team since Oklahoma State (200306) to claim four straight NCAA team crowns. Sanderson is confident that he’s got a roster capable of pulling it off. “I think we have a lot of tough, real talented kids,” Sanderson said. “I think these guys are as ready to go as any team we’ve ever had. It’s got the potential of being a great team.” Minnesota is ranked second in the Division I coaches’ poll, followed by Oklahoma State, Iowa and Oklahoma. But the top-ranked Nittany Lions entered the season with depth in two past NCAA champions, two former national runnersup and five All-Americans in all. Penn State’s strength starts at the top, with David Taylor and Ed Ruth both huge favorites in their respective weight classes. Taylor won the Hodge Trophy as the nation’s most dominant wrestler in 2012, though he lost to four-time NCAA champion Kyle Dake of Cornell in last year’s finals at 165 pounds in perhaps the most anticipated college match in decades. With Dake out of the picture, the wrestler known as the “Magic Man” is the overwhelming favorite to win his second national title. Ruth, an 184-pounder who is going for his third straight NCAA title, entered the season on a 68-match winning streak. “What’s so great about being on this team is that we’ve had guys that go out with the goal to dominate. I think that’s going to continue with the guys we have in (our) room,” Taylor said. Minnesota won the Cliff Keen National Duals last season and has eight returning All-Americans. Heavyweight Tony Nelson is ranked first in his class, and 197-pounder Scott Schiller also has a good shot at a national title. Chris Perry, the defending national champion at 174 pounds, leads an Oklahoma State team that pushed Penn State hard at last season’s national meet and currently has five top-five wrestlers. The Cowboys and Gophers will get a huge early test when they face each other in Stillwater, Okla., on Dec. 8. “This kind of matchup is going to tell you where you’re at real quickly and what your deficiencies are. They’re really strong, and I think they might be one of the best teams in the country,” Oklahoma State coach John Smith said. The Hawkeyes could push Penn State as well. Tony Ramos (133) is first in his weight class with Ohio State star Logan Stieber now at 141 pounds, and Derek St. John is the defending champion at 157 pounds. Iowa will host Minnesota and Oklahoma State this season. As if that wasn’t tough enough, Sanderson and Iowa coach Tom Brands set up a non-conference meet in Iowa City for late December after the Big Ten failed to schedule one between the Nittany Lions and Hawkeyes. After three years spent watching Penn State come out on top in March, Brands is looking for the Hawkeyes to return to the dominant form of 2008-10 when they won three national titles. the last three campaigns. “Logan’s going to be on a high coming in. They’ve never won a playoff game and their coach is retiring at the end of the year,” Darst said. “They are going to come in ready for this matchup.” It also won’t hurt that both teams are familiar with one another, as Point Pleasant claimed a 37-21 victory at LHS in Week 4 this fall. Logan was only one of two teams to score more than 20 points on the Big Blacks this year. Does that make things easier or more difficult for Point Pleasant in preparation? “It does make some things easier because we are familiar with them. We know who their best athletes are and what they are trying to do with them. But then again, they know some of the same things about us,” Darst said. “Our game plan is very similar to our first game with them, at least on the defensive side of the ball. They have similar sets and are still using some of the same things we saw down there, but they have also done some things different — and we’ve gone over that with the kids.” The Wildcats are averaging 34.8 points per game offensively while allowing an average of 21.5 points as a defensive unit headed into the playoffs. Logan has faced four playoff qualifiers this fall, which resulted in a 1-3 record in those contests. Logan lost to PPHS, University (49-20) and Mingo Central (26-20) and defeated Class A Man by a 40-20 count in the season opener. LHS can do damage in all three areas of the game, particularly in special teams. The Wildcats had a 90-yard kickoff return for a TD against Point Pleasant and also returned another kick inside Point’s 10. Kicker Daniel Hanks is also 32-of-43 on PAT kicks and 1-for-5 on field goal tries this fall. Worm Street leads the Wildcats rushing attack with 150 carries for 1,319 yards and seven touchdowns. Tyler Vernatter is next with 429 yards and eight TDs on 74 attempts, while Matt Cox has 38 totes for 341 yards and three scores. Ryan Miller has completed 30-of60 passes this season for 603 yards, which includes seven touchdowns and one interception. Noah Corbett is also 28-of-51 this fall for 377 passing yards, including six TDs and three interceptions. Josh Rein leads the wideouts with 34 catches for 571 yards and seven TDs, followed by Brett Musick with nine grabs for 121 yards. Clayton Marcum also has seven catches for 76 yards and two scores. Defensively, Jacob Browning leads LHS with 74 tackles. Clayton Marcum is next with 58, followed by Tyler Workman and Stephen Dilly with 55 and 54 tackles respectively. The Wildcats have eight different players with pass breakups and 13 players with at least one fumble recovery this fall. Logan has also forced two safeties, blocked a punt and has a total of 13 interceptions this fall — with Tyler Workman leading the way with five picks. Point Pleasant, on the other hand, has outgained opponents by a 4,3061,672 margin in total yards of offense, which includes a sizable 3,221-929 advantage in rushing yards. Point is averaging 43.6 points per game offensively and is allowing just 12.1 points as a defensive unit. The Big Blacks were a perfect 4-0 against playoff qualifiers this season, which helped PPHS extend its regular season winning streak to 14 straight. Point Pleasant is also 27-3 alltime at OVB Track and Field since it opened back in 2009, which includes a 3-1 mark in the postseason. Given that home record and a recognizable 12th man, Darst is excited to open the 2013 playoffs at the friendly confines of home. “We’ve had the community’s support all year long. We had a bigger crowd at Shady Spring than Shady Spring did, and that’s saying something given the drive,” Darst said. “I think everybody is excited to be playing here at home. I’m sure we’ll have a good turnout Friday from everyone hoping to see a win. “I do know this. We are a tough out at Point Pleasant. Our kids play extremely well at home.” As for preparing for this game, Darst acknowledges that his troops have responded like a program that has been to the playoffs the last five years — particularly with the cold weather that rolled in this week. “The kids have been pretty focused and upbeat this week. We started the year wanting to play until it was cold, and here it is this week — so we’ve done that,” Darst said. “I’m sure the kids will be ready to keep a good thing going.” Kickoff of the Class AAA opening round playoff game between Logan and Point Pleasant will happen Friday night at 7:30 p.m. �Page 8 s The Daily Sentinel ANNOUNCEMENTS Notices GUN SHOW JACKSON Nov 23 & 24 Canter's Cave 4-H Camp 1362 Caves Rd Adm $5 130-6' TBLS $35 740-667-0412 New Beginners line Dance Class Nov. the 14th from 7pm to 8pm at Merry Family Winery 740-388-0578 Pictures that have been placed in ads at the Gallipolis Daily Tribune must be picked within 30 days.

Kevin Harvick, 34 points behind Johnson, remains the only other driver eligible for the 2013 championship. CONSISTENCY If Dale Earnhardt Jr. records a top-10 finish in Homestead, Fla., he will set a new mark for himself. His current total of 21 top 10s tie his career high (2003, ’04). If he is able to defend his top-5 points position, it will mark the sport’s most popular drivers’ first top-5 championship finish since the 2006 season. BUSCH’S 12TH OF ’13 Kyle Busch led 169 of 200 laps in Saturday’s ServiceMaster 200 Nationwide Series race in Phoenix. Austin Dillon (third) holds an eight-point advantage over Sam Hornish Jr. (fifth) in the series’ championship standings. FRESH-FACED WIN Erik Jones made NASCAR history in Friday’s Lucas Oil 150 Camping World Truck Series event at PIR. In winning the race, Jones became the youngest winner in the sport’s three major touring series. Driving a Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota, the 17-yearold Jones led 84 of 150 laps and eclipsed Chase Elliott’s age mark set earlier this season. Jones also has wins in the prestigious 2012 Snowball Derby and 2013 Winchester 300 Late Model races. 2 3 4 Sprint Cup Standings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

It’s a hidden hero of a racetrack; it isn’t really on your radar. You race hard all season, and when you get there, if you aren’t in the points race at the end, most teams just want to get it over with. We used to go down there and test on a regular basis with the Cup teams because it’s a great racetrack. It has some of the best side-by-side racing, with the multiple grooves both high and low. I love the area, but by that time of year, most people are just waiting for the weekend to end and the vacation to start.” A third-place finish in Phoenix, combined with a 23rd by Matt Kenseth, finds Jimmie Johnson on the cusp of a sixth Cup championship. Sixth Title in Sight Harvick wins in Phoenix, Johnson pulls away in title race By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor Those within the sport of NASCAR have learned to not label Kevin Harvick a “lame duck” driver at Richard Childress Racing. While Harvick’s impending move to Stewart-Haas Racing — as well as a highly-publicized Martinsville tiff with Childress’ grandson, Ty Dillon — has been common knowledge for a year, it has not slowed his No. 29 team’s efforts. Harvick scored his fourth win of the 2013 season, in addition to victories in the Sprint Unlimited and a Daytona qualifying Duel, at Phoenix International Raceway in Sunday’s AdvoCare 500. “I obviously handle a lot of situations wrong, but it pushes a lot of buttons to try to make things better,” Harvick said. “There’s no better way to go out than to do what we’ve done this year. Obviously, we went to Martinsville and I said things that I shouldn’t have said and put everybody in a position that was not good, but I think we had conversations about things after that probably made us closer as people, and I think as we move forward will probably make us closer as friends.” Harvick took advantage of Carl Edwards’ fuel cell running dry as the white flag was displayed to notch career Cup win No. 23. All have come with RCR. While Harvick was busy doing burnouts — and staying mathematically alive in the title chase — championship contenders Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth were coming to grips with a title fight that is now seemingly Johnson’s to lose. Johnson sat on the pole at PIR and enjoyed a mostly smooth after- noon, finishing third behind Harvick and Kasey Kahne. Meanwhile, Kenseth, who entered the event seven points behind Johnson in the Chase standings, endured a miserable afternoon in a car that would not handle and a glitch on pit road. He finished a disappointing Matt Kenseth (right) with crew chief Jason Ratcliff. 23rd — his worst result in the Chase thus far — and Sprint Cup title regardless of finds his No. 20 team a distant 28 Kenseth’s performance. points behind the No. 48 team with While it should be noted that one race, at Homestead-Miami Johnson’s last two results in South Speedway, remaining.

Three veterans of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series — Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte and Mark Martin — are facing uncertain futures as the 2013 season winds to a close. Burton, who has 21 Cup wins and four top-5 finishes in the point standings, may have options. He’ll exit the seat of Richard Childress Racing’s No. 31 car, but rumors have him possibly serving in a part-time capacity at Michael Waltrip Racing in the No. 56 Toyota. At this point, none of the three have secured rides for the 2014 season, and Martin, who boasts 40 career Cup and 49 Nationwide series victories has strongly hinted that he may be done. “I worked really, really hard the last 10 years to continue to be a formidable opponent in the garage, and from time to time when stuff was right, I was able to do it,” Martin said. “And I’m proud of that. But it’s time for me to open a new chapter and do some other things.” The 2000 Cup and 1991 Nationwide series champion, Labonte is in his final year of a contract at JTG-Daugherty Racing. Specu- NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Ford EcoBoost 300 Track: Homestead-Miami Speedway When: Saturday, Nov. 16 TV: ESPN (4:30 p.m. EST) 2012 Winner: Regan Smith CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: Ford EcoBoost 200 Track: Homestead-Miami Speedway Date: Friday, Nov. 15 TV: FOX SPORTS 1 (8:00 p.m. EST) 2012 Winner: Cale Gale Classic Moments Homestead-Miami Speedway Since becoming host to the final race of the Sprint Cup season in 2002, HomesteadMiami Speedway has been the site of some of the most memorable outings on the series schedule — memorable not for the racing or the finishes as much as the postrace ceremonies. By virtue of its place on the calendar, Homestead is where the Cup champion is always crowned. But, in a break from the norm, the 2011 Ford 400 finale at the 1.5-mile South Florida track will be remembered more for what actually happened on the track than for the celebration that followed. In a phenomenal display of talent — and breaks from others on the track — Tony Stewart drove from the back of the pack to the front on two separate occasions (passing a total of 118 cars over 267 laps) to score the victory over Carl Edwards. Edwards finished the year with points equal to Stewart but lost the title on a tiebreaker — namely, the number of victories over the course of the season. With the title, Stewart joined an elite club of drivers with three or more championships in NASCAR’s premier division. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: This track has been one of Kevin Harvick’s best, with finishes of second, third, third, eighth and eighth in five Car of Tomorrow races at Homestead. Pretty Solid Pick: An absolute worldbeater at Homestead, Carl Edwards scored two wins and a runner-up finish while leading a whopping 466 laps in the five CoT races there. Good Sleeper Pick: Aric Almirola has only three starts at Homestead, but two of them — a fourth-place run in 2010 and a seventh-place finish last year — were stellar. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Maybe Dale Earnhardt Jr. can’t focus properly on the last day of school. Since 2007, he has averaged a 23.4-place finish at Homestead with a best run of 10th coming in 2012. Insider Tip: Expect Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth to be given plenty of room by their competitors. Solid finishes for both should not be too difficult a task. “I know exactly what Im going to be doing part of next year and there is another part of it that I’m still working on, but really close on,” Burton said. “I’m just not the kind of person that is going to talk about it until we need to be talking about it.” From top: Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte and Mark Martin. Combined, the trio has accounted for 2,289 starts and 82 victories in the Cup Series.
