Investigation
into death
in Gallia
Staff Report
GREEN TWP. —
Friday evening, Gallia
County Sheriff Matt
Champlin released a
statement in regards to
a death investigation
which is being conducted by his office.
Champlin states “On
January 4, 2019 at
approximately 12:23
p.m. a body was located
in a wooded area in the
1600 series of State
Route 588 in Green
Township. The body
has been identified as
Earl Hager, who was
previously reported
as a missing person to
our office. At this time,
we have no reason to
believe that foul play
is involved, however a
thorough investigation
is being conducted to
provide an explanation
as to how Mr. Hager
passed. Our thoughts
and prayers go out to
Mr. Hager’s family and
friends during this difficult time.”
Eastern School
District to build
new bus garage
Former bus garage to be
converted into wrestling building
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com
REEDSVILLE — Eastern Local School District
is moving forward with the construction of a new
bus garage which will also allow the district to
replace the school’s wrestling building which was
destroyed by fire last winter.
Last winter an early morning fire destroyed the
building located near Eastern High School which
had been used as the wrestling building, as well as
storage for athletic programs including track and
field.
“After much thought about how to proceed
that would be most beneficial to our students,
we decided to relocate our bus garage to the lot
owned by the district across from the Administrative Offices here in Tuppers Plains,” explained
Supt. Steve Ohlinger. “With the relocation of the
bus garage, we can then do some renovations to
the current bus garage so the wrestling team will
have a place to practice, etc. again. This building
will also be utilized for storage of track equipment
as well.”
The new facility will cost around $255,000,
with a portion of the money coming from insurance payments from the fire. The new garage will
be a pole barn structure that will be very similar
in design and size to the current garage which is
located on campus.
Construction will be done by Baer Contracting,
who was awarded the contract during the recent
board of education meeting.
The new garage is expected to be completed in
the spring and be fully operational this summer.
Once the current bus garage is vacated, renovations can begin to be ready for wrestling season
next school year.

Crow concludes tenure as Judge
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com
POMEROY — After
six years on the bench,
I. Carson Crow’s time as
Meigs County Common
Pleas Judge came to an
end at the end of 2018.
Crow, who took office
on Jan. 1, 2013, was the
third in his family to
serve as Judge in Meigs
County Common Pleas
Court, following his
grandfather and brother.
Crow was recently
recognized by the Meigs
County Commissioners,
who proclaimed May 1,
2019, as Judge I. Carson
Crow Day. May 1 was
selected as “51” was
Crow’s number when he
played college football at
Ohio University.
Additionally, a surprise
party was hosted by Common Pleas Court staff
to recognize Crow. One
of the items presented
to the judge during the
party was a wooden
plaque inscribed with
his saying “One day at a
time sweet Jesus.” Crow
often repeated that saying
when talking to defendants in the courtroom,
including those who were
recovering from drug
addiction.
While he says he is not
ready to retire, Crow was
note eligible to run for
another term due to age
restrictions for judges in
the state of Ohio.
Now, after more than
40 years in law, Crow
must decide what’s next.
Crow said he will take
some time off to figure
out what his next step
will be, but that he may
serve as a visiting judge
in the future.
When taking on the
role of judge in 2013,
Crow said his goals were
to “call them like you see
them,” as his dad said.

THEIR VIEW
A great society
needs great
behavioral health
Over 50 years ago, President John F. Kennedy
presented a Special Message to Congress identifying mental illness as one of America’s “most
critical health problems.” The result was the Community Mental Health Act of 1963, one of the final
pieces of legislation he signed before his death in
November of that year.
We have made much progress in the past 55
years. We better understand the causes of mental illness, substance use disorders and other
behavioral health problems and have scientifically
established prevention programs that decrease the
likelihood they develop. We have treatments that
are more effective and better tolerated and a workforce that is better trained than ever, yet mental
illness and substance use disorders
remain “critical health problems.”
In 2017, America experienced
more than 45,000 deaths due to
suicide and another 70,000 deaths
due to unintentional drug overdose.
Treatment costs were estimated at
$380 billion and costs due to missed
work and decreased productivity
Mark
because of behavioral health issues
Hurst
Contributing added another $900 billion. Improving behavioral health in America is
columnist
both compassionate and financially
prudent.
To meet the challenge of becoming a society
with great behavioral health, we must augment our traditional treatment approaches with
increased emphasis on prevention and early
intervention. By improving a person’s skills and
resiliency to effectively deal with life stresses we
reduce the likelihood of mental illness or substance use problems developing. This cannot be
restricted to the purview of behavioral health “specialists,” but must be a focus for all of us.
In no area is this more important than with our
children. Children who experience abuse, neglect
and other adverse experiences are more likely to
have tragic life outcomes. They are less likely to
graduate from high school, more likely to become
pregnant as teenagers, more likely to experience
mental illness and addiction, more likely to die
from suicide and more likely to die prematurely
from cardiac disease and cancer. Preventing child
abuse and neglect, and responding promptly to
those who have experienced it, can put the life
course of these children on a better trajectory, and
lead to better outcomes for them and for our society. Additionally, there are specific school-based
prevention strategies that lead to higher graduation rates, decrease likelihood of incarceration and
lower likelihood of developing a mental illness or
substance use disorder, all problems that can be
disabling and costly to individuals, families and
communities.
For those of all ages who experience behavioral
health problems, help must be easily accessible
and focus on early identification and intervention. This too, is an area where great progress
has been made. Many primary care providers
routinely screen for depression and substance use
issues and have the skills to intervene promptly
and effectively. Behavioral health practitioners are
increasingly embedded in primary care settings to
augment services, although this is not yet routine.
Unfortunately, access to specialized behavioral
health care remains challenging at times due to
workforce shortages. Development of the future
behavioral health workforce will require approaches that go beyond training of practitioners, and
include utilizing creative approaches such as
telemedicine, teletherapy and effective computerbased therapies.
Improving the behavioral health of our society
can be accomplished. We have done this with
other health problems such as cardiac disease.
With sustained efforts that began in the 1960s,
premature cardiac deaths dropped dramatically
due to improved treatment, and effective prevention strategies that included exercise, smoking cessation and healthy diet. The public endorsement
and acceptance of this multi-faceted approach, not
just the intervention of the medical field, led to
this outcome.
Likewise, behavioral health can achieve these
dramatic results. For maximum impact, commitment and collaboration among all of us is necessary, including parents, communities, educators,
faith-based organizations, health care providers
and many others. In a society where we seem to
have difficulty working together on many things,
perhaps we can resolve that improving our society’s behavioral health is worthwhile and something we can agree on. Our communities, and
especially our children, deserve it.
In his inaugural address, President Kennedy laid
out a plan to send a man to the moon by the end
of the 1960s, and with good science and public
determination, it happened. It has been 55 years
since he laid out his plan for improving behavioral
health in America. With application of good science and public determination, we can achieve
that, too.

Health and Addiction Services
THEIR VIEW
The story of Armstrong Feed Mill
At one time in Greene
County, Ohio, flouring
mills were a major business providing a service
to the farmers as well as
selling grain to customers. The Armstrong Mill
was operated by the same
family for more than 130
years.
The Clifton Mill is perhaps the best known in
the area. It was first operated by Benjamin Whiteman and Owen Davis
before Samuel Armstrong
took ownership.
After the original mill
burned down, Mr. Armstrong built the present
mill on the foundation
of the previous mill. The
Armstrong family was
involved in the business
of grinding corn for many
years.
Samuel’s sons were also
millers. J.E. operated a
business in Bellefontaine
while George H. helped
his father at Clifton. Later
George operated a mill on
Twin Creek in West Alexander. His son, Orville
Burnell, usually called “O.
B.” Was born in Springfield in 1891. When O.B.
was an infant, the family
moved to Clifton where
he grew up attending the
local schools. His wife,
Inez Lovette, whom he
married in 1915 was also
a product of the Clifton
Schools and was a teacher at the time of their
marriage.
O.B. learned the milling business well. The
year after his marriage,
two major events took
place in his life. First was
the birth of a son, George
Wendell and then he was
put in charge of Fairfield
Feed Mills. This was the

A second machine was
donated to the Clovernook School for the Blind
in Cincinnati. Being an
active member of the
Fairborn Lion’s Cub, he
donated the patent for the
machine to that organization.
One of his most popular inventions was not
business related. While
watching the squirrels
“steal” seed from the bird
feeders, he decided there
had to be a better way for
the birds to enjoy their
repast and not have the
majority of the food consumed by the squirrels.
“The Pioneer – World’s
Most Convenient Bird
Feeder” was the result
of his efforts. The feeder
had a very clever design
which allowed easy filling
of the seed. Mounted on a
pole, the feeder could easily be brought down to a
convenient level for filling
and them placed back up
where the birds had easy
access and the squirrels
did not.

few ways the shelter
receives funding to continue with its work.
According to Cardillo, dogs need to be confined or restrained and
have a bowl of water,
food and some means of
shelter at their disposal.
Cardillo recommended that as winter sets
in, individuals should
bring their pets inside
a garage or let them
into the main house.
She also realizes that
some individuals do not
like having dogs in the
home and recommended that straw or other
such insulating materials be placed within
the animal’s shelter as
an alternate method of
keeping the dog warm.
According to the dog
warden, many dogs
who have flaps over the
opening of their shelter
often will not go into
the house. It may be
necessary to train them
to become used to the
“door.”
Some dogs may
require special coverings, especially if they
are short-haired, during winter to prevent
frostbite. Huskies and
other such sled breeds
are built for winter
environments better
than chihuahuas, but it
is recommended owners keep an eye on their
animals — especially in
particularly frigid conditions.
Dog breed diets can
also vary in winter season as indoor pets may
sleep more to conserve
energy whereas outdoor
animals may need a
higher calorie intake to
keep warm.

Fundraising
event planned
By Erin Perkins
eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com
POINT PLEASANT
— The staff at the
Mason County Animal
Shelter are always welcoming and appreciative of donations for
the shelter and pets,
new volunteers, and pet
adoptions.
For those wishing to
donate to the animal
shelter, on Monday
evening, Jan. 7, a special bingo night will
be held at the Point
Pleasant Moose Lodge
731 in benefit of the
animal shelter. Bingo
will begin at 7 p.m.,
and the doors will open
at 5 p.m. Dave Morgan
will be collecting supplies to be donated to
the animal shelter in
the back of his truck.
The staff at the animal
shelter shared some
basic necessities they
always in need of are
cat food, dog food, cat
litter, old blankets and
towels, leashes, collars,
Clorox bleach, and laundry detergent. Morgan
shared even if an individual does not want to
participate in the bingo
games, they can still
donate supplies.
For those wanting to
volunteer at the animal
shelter, they simply
need to show up during
the shelter’s hours of
operation and the staff
will find them a way to
help as they are always
searching for volunteers. The animal shelter is open Monday-Friday from noon- 4 p.m.,
excluding holidays.
For those looking for
a new pet, several cats
and dogs are searching for their forever
homes and are currently
housed at the animal
shelter.
Jessi Hall, Mason
County dog warden,
shared they are currently housing 38 dogs and
30 cats for adoption.
According to the animal
shelter’s Facebook, this
shelter is considered a
high intake county shelter which means the
Mason County Commission has to limit
the shelter to housing
the max of 40 dogs and
max of 36 cats. Rescue
help and adoption are
very crucial to this facility.
The cost of adoption
for a dog is $75 and for
a cat is $50. When a
pet is adopted they are
spayed or neutered as
well as given all necessary vaccinations. West
Virginia law mandates
all dogs or cats that are
adopted from a shelter
be spayed or neutered.
The Mason County
Animal Shelter is located at 1965 Fairground
Road in Point Pleasant.
For further questions
on how to volunteer or
donate to the animal
shelter or further questions about how to
adopt a pet, individuals
may call (304) 6756458 or find and follow the Mason County
Animal Shelter on Facebook.

Man with missing wife, Florida in-laws dead arrested in Ohio
TARPON SPRINGS,
Fla. (AP) — Police have
arrested a man caught
with a car stolen from
a Florida home where
a couple and their son
were found dead. Their
daughter — the man’s
wife — remains missing.
Police in Tarpon
Springs, Florida, identified the suspect Friday
as 25-year-old Shelby
John Nealy. He was
taken into custody in
the Cleveland suburb
of Lakewood, Ohio.
Authorities said he was
initially charged with
receiving stolen property
because he was driving one victim’s car. It
wasn’t immediately clear
if he has a lawyer.
Investigators identified
the victims as 71-yearold Richard Louis Ivancic; his wife, 59-year-old
Laura Ann Ivancic; and their son,
25-year-old Nicholas James Ivancic.
Nealy’s wife, their
21-year-old daughter, Jamie Nicole
Ivancic, is missing Nealy
under what police
called “suspicious
circumstances,” without
elaborating.
“We do fear she, too,
may be a victim of foul
play,” said police
Maj. Jeff Young
said at a news
conference Friday
in Tarpon Springs.
“This is an ongoing investigation.”
Authorities
making a welfare check on
New Year’s Day said
they found the bodies
in a state of “advanced
decomposition.” Police
have not said how they
died but that the killings
likely happened Dec. 19
or Dec. 20. The bodies
of three small dogs also
were inside the home.
Tarpon Springs police
investigators have interviewed Nealy — who
also goes by the name
Shelby Svenson — in
Ohio and they say he
admitted involvement in
the killings.
Nealy was arrested
after authorities were
able to track a red 2013
Kia Sorento owned by
Laura Ivancic to Ohio.
He was taken into custody after walking outside
toward the vehicle from
an apartment, where the
younger couple’s two
children aged 2 and 3
were inside unharmed.
They were taken to a
family services agency.

The crunch of cookie season starts
Staff Report
OHIO VALLEY — It’s
that time of year again.
Girl Scouts of Black
Diamond Council
launched the 2019 Girl
Scout Cookie season
on Friday. The Council
serves over 8,000 girls
in 61 counties in West
Virginia, Virginia, Ohio
and Maryland.
According to the
Council, cookie season
celebrates the largest
financial investment
in girls annually in the
United States and is
a powerful entrepreneurship incubator for
the next generation of
female leaders.
“At a time when girls’
needs and issues collect
fewer than eight cents
of every dollar granted
by philanthropic foundations in the country,
each and every Girl
Scout Cookie purchase
is key to supporting
the change-makers of
today and tomorrow.
Girls are taking orders
from friends, family,
and neighbors through
January, and will begin
Cookie Booth sales
on February 22nd,” a
release from the Black
Diamond Council
stated.
The release went on
to say, “Research shows
that female-founded
start-ups generate more
revenue over time and
per dollar than malefounded start-ups, but
only 17 percent of startups are female-founded.
Given that over half (53
percent) of female entrepreneurs and business
owners are Girl Scout
alums, supporting Girl
Scouts as they make
sales and learn essential business skills is
imperative to ensuring
our country has a strong
workforce and economy.

maybe even for governor in four years.
Walker spoke to The Associated Press

Walker, a presidential candidate in the
2016 race, served two terms as governor before Evers narrowly defeated him

NAKHON SI THAMMARAT, Thailand (AP) — Rain, wind and surging
seawater from a tropical storm buffeted
coastal villages and world-famous tourist resorts on southern Thailand’s east
coast on Friday, knocking down trees
and utility poles and flooding roads.
One person was reported dead and
another missing after a fishing boat
with a crew of six capsized in high
waves, but there were no reports of
major damage by nightfall. It appeared
that Tropical Storm Pabuk caused
aggravation during the country’s high
tourist season but less damage than had
been feared.

Through the Girl
Scout Cookie Program®, girls not only
discover their inner
leadership potential but
also use their earnings
to power amazing experiences for themselves
and their troop, including travel, outdoor
adventure, and science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM)
programming. Many
girls put the money
toward impactful community projects right
in their own backyards,
from supporting animal
shelters and food banks
to working with local
and state legislators to
change laws. And the
cookie program’s benefits are many; a recent
Girl Scout Research
Institute study found
that two out of three
girls who participate in
the program learn five
crucial skills—goal setting, decision making,
money management,
people skills, and business ethics—while
doing incredible things
for themselves and
their communities. The
proceeds stay local,
meaning that when

COAL GROVE, Ohio — The rust finally wore
off.
The Gallia Academy boys basketball shook off
a slow start with a pivotal 22-14 third quarter
charge and ultimately snapped a two-game losing
skid on Friday with a 65-58 victory over host Coal
Grove in an Ohio Valley Conference contest in
Lawrence County.
The visiting Blue Devils (4-3, 2-1 OVC) notched
their first victory in roughly four weeks, which
included a two-week layoff before their last game
at Logan a week ago.
The Hornets (6-3, 1-2) also added some extra
pressure in the early moments as Cory Borders
hit two trifectas while the hosts built a 12-2 lead
before taking a 14-8 first quarter advantage.
The Blue and White, however, received seven
points from Logan Blouir and got two trifectas
from Justin McClelland during a 20-16 second
period rally that allowed the guests to close to
within 30-28 at the break.
Zach Loveday — who was limited to just three
field goals and 10 points in the first half — dominated the second half as the junior poured in 10
points in the third while helping Gallia Academy
to a 50-44 edge headed into the finale.
Loveday tacked on another nine points down
the stretch as the Blue Devils closed regulation
with small 15-14 run, wrapping up the final sevenpoint outcome.
GAHS made 25 total field goals — including
four 3-pointers, all from McClelland — and also
went 11-of-26 at the free throw line for 42 percent.
Loveday poured in a game-high 29 points
despite going 5-of-16 at the free throw line.
McClelland was next with 18 points, with Blouir
adding 13 markers. Cory Call completed the winning tally with five points.
CGHS netted 21 total field goals — including

MASON, W.Va. — The
Rebels set the tone early
and never looked back.
The South Gallia boys
basketball team scored
the first 12 points of
Friday night’s Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division bout at Gary Clark
Court, and the visiting
Rebels rolled to a 64-34
victory over Wahama.
South Gallia (7-3, 3-2
TVC Hocking) needed
just 2:30 to establish its
12-0 lead, but the Wahama (1-8, 1-4) claimed
the next five points and
trailed by seven with 3:30
left in the first. WHS
didn’t score again in the
period, however, as the
Rebels stretched their
lead to 16-5 by the end of
the stanza.
The White Falcons
were back to within
single digits after opening the second quarter
with a two-pointer, but
SGHS claimed the next
10 points and led 26-7
with 3:45 left in the half.
WHS earned six of the
next seven points, but
surrendered an 11-to-3
run to close the half, and
headed into the break
behind 38-16.
South Gallia outscored
its host by an 8-to-4 count
in the third period and
headed into the finale
with a 46-20 edge.
The Rebels led by as
many as 32 points in
the fourth quarter and
cruised to the 64-34 victory.
Following the triumph,
SGHS head coach Kent
Wolfe commended his

team for putting together
a full 32 minutes of basketball.
“In the two years I’ve
been here, that’s probably
the best overall game
we’ve played from opening buzzer to the final
buzzer,” Wolfe said. “Our
press was effective, we
got the ball moving up
and down the floor, and
had some nice steals.
Everybody contributed
tonight, it wasn’t just
an individual effort, it
was everybody we put in
the ball game. That first
half, you hold Wahama
to 16 points with the two
guards that they have, I
was really happy with our
defensive performance.”
For the White Falcons,
head coach Ron Bradley
acknowledged his team
simply wasn’t up to the
challenge South Gallia
presented.
“We didn’t match their
effort and intensity from
the very beginning, and
that’s the tale of the
game,” Bradley said.
“Their kids came to play,
and played hard. I told
our kids ‘you’ve got to
match the other team’s
intensity, you have to
match their physicality,
and you have to match
their hustle.’ We didn’t do
it, and as a result, you see
the score.”
For the game, South
Gallia shot 28-of-63 (44.4
percent) from the field,
including 5-of-22 (22.7
percent) from three-point
range, while Wahama was
15-of-45 (33.3 percent)
from the field, including
2-of-13 (15.4 percent)
from beyond the arc.
Both teams shot six foul
shots, the Rebels making
three for 50 percent, and
the White Falcons sinking
two for 33.3 percent.
SGHS earned a 36-to23 rebounding advantage,
which included 14-to-6 on
the offensive glass. The
Rebels committed just
nine turnovers, 10 fewer
than Wahama. The guests
combined for team totals
of 14 assists, 14 steals
and four rejections, while
WHS ended with nine
assists, three steals and
four blocked shots.
Leading the Rebels,
Braxton Hardy scored 17
points and dished out five
assists. Eli Ellis recorded
11 points and seven
rebounds in the win,
while Jared Burdette and
Nick Hicks added nine
points apiece.
Garrett Saunders —
who led the Rebel defense
with six steals and a
rejection — scored seven
points for the guests,
while Christian Mayse
came up with six points
and seven boards. Rounding out the winning total
were Kyle Northup with
three points and Austin
Day with two.
Abram Pauley paced
the White Falcon offense
with 11 points and five
assists. Brayden Davenport and Jacob Warth
scored six points apiece
for the hosts, while Dakota Belcher marked four
points and a team-best
five rebounds.

three points in the setback, while Cooper Peters

offensive rebound after
the break.
RVHS coach Brett Bostic noted that there were
some positives to take
away from the evening.
But, as he put it, there
really isn’t much you can
do when the ball won’t
fall through the hole.
“When you don’t make
shots, you don’t score a
lot of points. Everything
becomes a little more
magnified from there as
each possession becomes
a little more important,”
Bostic said. “We competed well there in the back
half of the game, and that
was encouraging given
the two-week layoff. We
have young kids learning
to compete, and they kept
competing down to the
end. That first half just
ended up being too much
for us to overcome.”
Nelsonville-York —
which netted 14-of-26
field goal tries in the first
half — eventually cooled
off and still finished the
night with a double-digit
lead over the final 18:13
of regulation.
In all, the guests netted 23-of-47 field goal
attempts for 49 percent,
including a 2-of-10 effort
from behind the arc for 20
percent.
— The Raiders, conversely, went 16-of-49
from the field for 33 percent, including a 2-of-13
performance from 3-point
territory for 15 percent.
Both teams committed
10 turnovers apiece in
the contest. The Buckeyes also claimed a 31-26
advantage in rebounds,
but RVHS mustered an
8-5 edge on the offensive
glass.
Lambert paced the
hosts with 17 points and
eight rebounds, followed
by Rory Twyman with 11
points and Brandon Call
with six markers.
Cole Young was next
with three points, while
Fitch, Miles Morrison
and Jordan Burns each
added two points in the
Sunday Times-Sentinel
setback. The Raiders
were 9-of-16 at the free
throw line for 56 percent.
Call and Fitch also hauled
in seven and four boards,
respectively.
Seel scored 16 of his
game-high 22 points for
NYHS in the first half, followed by Bryce Richards
with 12 points and Ethan
Bohyer with eight markers to go along with a
team-high 10 rebounds.
Austin Thrapp was next
with seven points, with
Justin Perry chipping in
five points. Chris Beyette
and Keegan Wilburn finished off the winning tally
with two points apiece.
The guests were 10-of11 at the charity stripe
for 91 percent. Wilburn
and Reece Robson also
grabbed six and four caroms in the triumph.

Muzzleloaders have changed with the times
Ohio muzzleloader
season started Saturday
and continues through
a half-hour after sunset
on Tuesday, and hopefully the weather is more
conducive to hunters and
hunting than it was during the deer gun season.
Muzzle-loading rifles
are definitely a throwback to an earlier time,
and it got me to thinking
about how much things
have changed. It’s hard to
believe that we’re almost
two decades into the new
millennium, but here we
are.
Not to date myself, but
I can remember when
the prospect of “partying
like it’s 1999” was still
18 years into the future.
I guess that makes me a
bit of a throwback to an
earlier time as well.
But just like Prince’s
song, 1999, a lot has
changed since then and
muzzleloaders are no
exception. In the early
1980s a muzzle-loading
rifle was invariably a

Fields confirms transfer to OSU from Georgia
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Quarterback
Justin Fields confirmed
Friday night he is transferring to Ohio State
following one season as
Georgia’s backup.
Fields’ much-anticipated announcement gives
new Ohio State coach
Ryan Day a sublimely
talented dual-threat
passer to run his offense
if Dwayne Haskins Jr.
makes an expected jump
to the NFL.
Fields decided to transfer from Georgia after
he was unable to beat
out starter Jake Fromm.
Fields announced the
transfer after he was
expected to visit the Ohio
State campus earlier Friday.
Fields issued a statement on his Twitter
account in which he said
his one season at Georgia “has given me the
opportunity to refine my
skills under great coaches
and to play with incredibly talented teammates
who’ve become like brothers to me.”
Fields’ arrival at Ohio
State is huge for Day,
who took over as coach
Wednesday after Urban
Meyer’s retirement.
Fields was the overall No.
2 national prospect in
the 2018 recruiting class
and was highly sought
after he announced his
intention to transfer last
month.
Fields helped give Georgia coach Kirby Smart the
nation’s top-rated signing
class last year.

Georgia quarterback Justin Fields (1) may be getting closer to transferring to Ohio State. Fields,

anonymity because no transfer has been finalized.
State at quarterback and
sets up an intriguing
competition with Tate
Martell.
NCAA rules would
require Fields to sit
out next season if he
transfers, though he
could request a waiver
to become immediately
eligible.
Fields was the target
of a racial slur from a
Georgia baseball player
during a football game in
September.
The 6-foot-3, 220pound Field was relegated to backup for the
sixth-ranked Bulldogs
behind star sophomore
Fromm this season.
Fields played in all 12
games, completing 27
of 39 passes for 328
yards with four touchdowns, and running
for 266 yards and four
touchdowns. His most
significant playing time,
though, came in lopsided
victories against nonconference opponents.
“I appreciate what
coach Smart and the
UGA football coaching
staff have done to help
me progress as a quarterback and for their
patience and understanding while I thoughtfully
considered my future
as a student-athlete,”
Fields said on his Twitter
account.
Fields’ most notable
play of the season came
in the SEC champion-
ship game loss to No. 1
Alabama, when he was
used on a failed fake punt
in the fourth quarter that
set up the Crimson Tide’s
go-ahead touchdown.
Haskins, who broke
several single-season Big
Ten and school rushing
records and was third in
Heisman Trophy voting,
said after the Rose Bowl
on Tuesday that Fields
had contacted him about
whether he planned to
enter the NFL draft. At
the time, Haskins said he
hadn’t made a decision.
Fields said he would
make no further comment on his transfer and
referred any questions
to the Ohio State sports
information department.

Investigation that benched Meyer cost OSU $1 million
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — The investigation that led to a threegame suspension of Ohio
State football coach
Urban Meyer cost the
university $1 million,
twice the amount originally requested for it, the
school said Thursday.
The original $500,000
amount “was preliminary
and did not represent
the total anticipated
cost,” spokesman Benjamin Johnson said Thurs-
day. He said the school
had no further comment
about the bill.
Johnson confirmed
that OSU paid law firm
Debevoise and Plimpton
last week for the investigation.
Meyer retired as coach
this week after defeating
Washington 28-23 in the
Rose Bowl, citing “cumulative events” including
pain from headaches
caused by an arachnoid
cyst in his brain.
He turned over the
program to coach Ryan
Day, who led Ohio State
when Meyer was suspended before the season
opener after an investigation led by a former
federal prosecutor.
The investigators
concluded Meyer mishandled repeated professional and behavioral
problems from now-fired
assistant coach Zach
Smith, who was accused
of domestic violence.
Meyer and athletic director Gene Smith were
suspended for their
handling of Smith, who
is the grandson of Meyer
mentor Earle Bruce.
Smith denied abusing his wife. He wasn’t
charged with domestic
violence.
The $1 million for
the public university
to pay Debevoise and
Plimpton was approved
in mid-December by
the state Controlling
Board as part of a larger
request dealing with
legal expenses for state
entities, said John Charlton, a spokesman for
the Office of Budget and
Management, of which
the board is a part.
The contract had a $1
million cap on fees, said
Dan Tierney, a spokesman for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office,
which provides legal
counsel for the public
university.
Despite the stain of
the investigation, Meyer
hangs up his whistle
with a mostly glowing
legacy at Ohio State,
where his record was
82-9 over the past seven
years.
He won’t be a stranger
around campus as he
takes on new roles as an
assistant athletic director and an instructor in
a “Leadership and Character” class for the business school.
Browns denying
requests to interview
OC Kitchens
CLEVELAND (AP)
— The Browns are
protecting Freddie
Kitchens like he was a
franchise quarterback,
not a coach.
While Kitchens waits
for his interview to
possibly become Cleveland’s head coach, the
Browns have denied
requests by other teams
to interview their interim coordinator who
brought out the best
in rookie quarterback
Baker Mayfield during
the final eight games.
Several teams have
inquired about Kitchens, who took over the
offense in late October,
said the person, who
spoke Thursday on
condition of anonymity
because the Browns are
not commenting during
their coaching search
other than to confirm
completed interviews.
Because Kitchens
is still under contract,
the Browns can rebuff
any interview demands
for coordinator’s jobs.
They can’t deny any
candidate a chance to
interview for a headcoaching position.
The 44-year-old
Kitchens emerged as a
potential head coach in
Cleveland after revamping the offense and
building a strong bond
with quarterback Baker
Mayfield, who set the
league rookie record
with 27 touchdown
passes. In his last eight
games, Mayfield completed 68 percent of his
passes for 2,254 yards
with 19 touchdowns
and eight interceptions.
Kitchens took over
game-planning and
play-calling duties on
Oct. 29, when coach
Hue Jackson and
offensive Todd Haley
were fired. Cleveland’s
offense played with a
faster tempo and was
far more creative with
Kitchens calling the
shots.
Browns general
manager John Dorsey
understands Kitchens’
value and might be able
to keep him as a coordinator if he doesn’t hire
him as coach. It’s also
possible the Browns’
next coach will want to
hire his own coordinators.
Dorsey said earlier
this week he planned
to interview Kitchens
for the team’s vacancy
at some point as the
Browns make an important hire following a
surprising 7-8-1 season.
Dorsey interviewed
his third candidate on
Thursday, meeting with
Minnesota interim
offensive coordinator
Kevin Stefanski.
Like Kitchens, Stefanski inherited an
offense that was having
problems. The 36-yearold was promoted from
quarterbacks coach to
coordinator last month
when Vikings coach
Mike Zimmer fired John
DeFilippo with three
games left and Minnesota in playoff contention.
Stefanski has worked
his way up the coaching ranks and become
one of the NFL’s rising
young assistants. He
was nearly hired by
Giants coach Pat Shurmur as his offensive
coordinator last year,
but Zimmer made sure
to keep him on his staff.
He’s the son of longtime NBA executive
Ed Stefanski, now with
the Detroit Pistons.
Stefanski broke into the
league as an assistant
under former Vikings
coach Brad Childress in
2006 and has been with
the club since, surviving two head coaching
changes while climbing
in power.
Stefanski’s interview
followed Dorsey meeting with interim coach
Gregg Williams, who
went 5-3 to finish the
season, and former Indianapolis and Detroit
coach Jim Caldwell.
Dorsey also reportedly
requested interviews
with several assistants,
including Patriots linebackers coach Brian
Flores, Saints assistant
head coach Dan Campbell and Colts defensive
coordinator Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni.

Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) is the Chiefs’ first true franchise QB since Len Dawson led the Chiefs to their only Super
Bowl title. Mahomes has had one of the best seasons in NFL history for a first-year starter.
AP All-Pro team has KC accent
NEW YORK (AP) —
Patrick Mahomes and
three other Kansas City
Chiefs players made The
Associated Press 2018
NFL All-Pro Team on
Friday. They were joined
by the first rookie teammates since 1965 —
Colts guard left Quenton
Nelson and linebacker
Darius Leonard.
Rams defensive tackle
Aaron Donald was the
only unanimous choice
in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 media
members who regularly
cover the league.
“That’s surreal,” Donald said. “It’s a blessing.
Wow! You see the hard
work pay off.
“A lot of credit to
my teammates and my
coaches for pushing me
and helping me.”
Mahomes, Kansas
City’s second-year sensation, drew 45 votes
at quarterback and was
joined by teammates
Travis Kelce at tight
end, Tyreek Hill as the
flex player and Mitchell
Schwartz at right tackle.
Nelson and Leonard
are among four rookies
on the squad, a first for
the AP team. Seahawks
punter Michael Dickson
and Chargers safety
Derwin James also made
it. The last time rookies from the same team
were All-Pros was 1965.
And that was not a bad
combo: Dick Butkus and
Gale Sayers, both Hall of
Famers.
“These are the kind
of guys who have the
DNA, the makeup of
everything that we
are looking for,” Colts
coach Frank Reich said.
“All the intangibles,
all the character qualities, everything about
them. It’s a really hard
filter to get through to
get marked that way
and both Quenton and
Darius had that on their
card. So that says something about their maturity and how fast we think
they will develop.”
And already have
developed.
Chicago also had four
All-Pros: edge rusher
Khalil Mack, cornerback
Kyle Fuller, safety Eddie
Jackson and punt returner Tarik Cohen.
Two players made AllPro for the fifth time:
Houston edge rusher J.J.
Watt and Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly.
“It means a lot to get
back to the top level of
the game,” said Watt,
who missed most of the
2016 and ‘17 seasons
with major injuries.
“Obviously, it’s an
extreme honor to be a
first-team All-Pro, especially after what I’ve
been through the last
two years and hearing
the things that people
were saying and questioning myself at times.
“To be able to get
back to the top level of
the game and know that
I still have things to
improve on and things
that I want to get even
better at, it’s exciting.”
Brothers also were
voted to the squad: Travis Kelce of the Chiefs
and Eagles center Jason
Kelce.
“For me and my
brother to both get it,
it’s that much more
special because I still
remember us in the
backyard fighting with
each other, playing football growing up and we
envisioned each other
competing at the highest
level, competing against
the best players,” Jason
said. “And for both of us
to be recognized as one
of those guys is pretty
special.”
The All-Pro team had
a split of 14 AFC and 14
NFC members. There
were 16 newcomers:
Mahomes; Schwartz;
Fuller; Jackson; Cohen;
Saints receiver Michael
Thomas; Packers left
tackle David Bakhtiari;
Eagles interior defensive
lineman Fletcher Cox;
Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore; Chargers
defensive back Desmond
King and special teamer
Adrian Phillips; Jets kick
returner Andre Roberts;
and the four rookies.
Players with previous All-Pro honors who
made the 2018 team
included Donald and
Seahawks linebacker
Bobby Wagner, each for
the fourth time; Mack,
Dallas right guard Zack
Martin and Ravens
kicker Justin Tucker,
each for the third time;
Hill; Rams running back
Todd Gurley; and Texans receiver DeAndre
Hopkins.
“I think I really took
a lot of pride in leadership,” said Wagner, who
got 49 votes. “I knew
that was going to be
big if we were going to
be successful. I knew
I was going to have to
up my role in that, up
my mindfulness in that.
I was really conscious
of that and just making
sure I was, when it came
to getting back to the
defense I looked at it
from a different lens.”
Hopkins got the most
votes on offense with 46.
“This is validation,”
Hopkins said. “I feel
like these people are
the people who actually know football, who
study football, who have
been around football for
years, so do be on this

First-time eligibles
Tony Gonzalez, Ed Reed
and Champ Bailey are
among 15 modern-era
finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class
of 2019.
They will be joined
in balloting on Feb. 2
by Steve Atwater, Tony
Boselli, Isaac Bruce,
Don Coryell, Alan Faneca, Tom Flores, Steve
Hutchinson, Edgerrin
James, Ty Law, John
Lynch, Kevin Mawae,
and Richard Seymour.
Although previously
eligible, Flores — who
coached two Raiders
teams to Super Bowl
titles — and longtime
defensive lineman Seymour are finalists for the
first time.
Also being considered
for induction are senior
committee nominee

Bowlen. A maximum of
eight new members can
be elected, five from the
modern-era group. Inductions are Aug. 3 in Canton, Ohio.
Gonzalez played 17 seasons with the Chiefs and
Falcons, but never made
a Super Bowl. No matter: he holds the career
record for tight ends
with 1,325, second only
overall to Jerry Rice, and
gained more than 15,127
yards while scoring 111
touchdowns. His string
of 211 straight games
with a catch lasted from
2000-13.
Reed spent 12 seasons
with the Ravens, Texans
and Jets, winning an NFL
title in 2012. He’s one of
two players to lead the
NFL in interceptions
three times (2-4, 2008,
2010) and was the NFL
Defensive Player of the
Year in 2004.
Bailey played 15 seasons with Washington
and Denver and was a
three-time All-Pro. Considered one of the game’s
best cover cornerbacks,
he had a career-high 10
interceptions in 2006.
Lynch, a standout
safety for Tampa Bay
and Denver, becomes
a finalist for the sixth
straight year. Coryell,
who coached the highpowered offenses of the
Cardinals and Chargers
in the 1970s and ’80s, is a
five-time finalist.
In all there, are three
safeties, two cornerbacks,
two offensive tackles, two
coaches, one guard, one
center, one tight end, one
running back, one wide
receiver and one defensive lineman as finalists.

Indians sign free agent RHP
Justin Grimm to minor deal
CLEVELAND (AP) — Looking to rebuild their
bullpen, the Cleveland Indians signed free agent
right-hander Justin Grimm to a minor-league contract.
Grimm’s deal includes an invitation to training
camp where the three-time defending AL Central
champions will try to patch together a bullpen
missing key components from past seasons.
The 30-year-old Grimm has gone 20-23 record
4.98 ERA in 306 games major league games. He’s
been with Texas, the Chicago cubs, Kansas City
and Seattle. Grimm was on Chicago’s 2016 postseason roster and appeared in three games against the
Indians in the World Series.
He recorded at least 50 relief appearances with
the Cubs over four straight seasons, pitching in a
career-high 73 games in 2014.
Grimm split last season between the Kansas City
and Seattle organizations. He twice went on the
disabled list with the Royals.
The Indians lost reliever Andrew Miller as a free

Women navigate toxicity, other barriers in esports
The Latest:
Cavs’ Love
progressing,
no timetable
for return
NEW YORK (AP) —
Susie Kim thinks the
women gamers are out
there. As general manager for a championship
esports team, she would
know.
She’s not surprised
none of them are on her
roster.
The Entertainment
Software Association
reported this year that
45 percent of U.S.
gamers are female, yet
women make up a scant
portion of the professional esports player pool.
Executives for games like
“League of Legends” and
“Overwatch” say they are
eager to add women to
pro rosters, where players can make hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
Yet LoL’s Championship Series hasn’t had
a female gamer since
2016, and the Overwatch
League’s inaugural season featured just one.
The industry has grappled with harassment
and toxic behavior since
the Gamergate scandal
of 2014, when a group
of male gamers organized to target women
throughout the industry.
Women say they feel
marginalized within
the community and are
routinely subject to nasty
comments about their
ability or appearance.
For elite gamers, much
of it comes from fans,
but opponents and teammates are sometimes
just as challenging. At
the lower levels, women
are often bombarded by
hyper masculinity in a
space where most everyone is anonymous.
Kim’s London Spitfire
won the first Overwatch
League championship in
June. Speaking to The
Associated Press before
the grand finals, she said
there are “absolutely”
women talented enough
to be playing in the
Overwatch League.
“But they’re just like,
‘It’s a headache. I don’t
want to be part of this at
all,’” Kim said. “I don’t
blame them.”
2K League said it had
one woman in a pool of
250 finalists for roster
spots in its inaugural
season. She did not land
one of the 102 available
slots. The Overwatch
League had one woman

their voice, and more
than anything, a dismissal of their ability and
knowledge in the game.
Even if Chang can tune
out the harassment, it
can still affect her performance. Esports like
LoL and “Overwatch”
are heavily teamwork
and strategy dependent.
Each player chooses
a character, and those
characters are designed
for specific roles, like
attacking, holding territory or healing. A good
“Overwatch” team needs
tanks and healers, just
like a football team needs
quarterbacks and left
tackles.
Women are often pressured to play as female
characters, and female
healers in particular. In
“Overwatch,” that character is usually Mercy,
a fairy-like flying doctor
who can heal and resurrect teammates. Chang
has been harassed for
playing as other characters, but also gets snide
comments when she
plays as Mercy. In certain games, it becomes
impossible for her to
assume any role, even
if she’s simply trying to
help the team.
“You want me to do
this, and you’re going
to harass me for it?”
she said. “It’s definitely
something that we face.”
Briah Luther gets the
same treatment in LoL.
Sometimes when the
35-year-old school teacher shouts out a key bit
of information, like the
location of an attacking
opponent, men simply
ignore her, leading to a
huge tactical advantage
for opponents. It’s a
common complaint from
female gamers, and that
lack of trust can sink a
team and affect players’
rankings in the competitive sphere.
“The second they
realize I’m a woman, I
no longer have power,”
Luther said.
Ella Lasky has pro
gaming aspirations, and
the 12-year-old is on a
promising path. She is
one of the top players
in the “Minecraft” City
Champs circuit operated
by Super League Gaming. Most importantly to
her parents, video games
have played a key role in
her social development.
“It’s given her a sense
of pride,” said Ella’s
mother, Johanna.
What can be done
Publishers have made
progress responding to
harassment complaints
since the Gamergate
scandal, but video
games are still not a
space known for gender
equality. Riot Games,
which publishes LoL and
operates the LCS, was
criticized just this summer for its treatment of
female employees in a
story by Kotaku . Riot
apologized publicly to
fans and employees, and
it has outlined a plan
of action to address the
issues.
More in-person gaming
might help. Women say
men and boys tend to be
better behaved without
the anonymity of online
play. The Laskys think
that’s one benefit of the
Super League competitions, where teams
gather at movie theaters
to compete face-to-face.
Some fans also are disappointed by the number
of women promoted by
the streaming service
Twitch, as well as game
publishers.

CLEVELAND (AP)
— Kevin Love might be
a little closer to helping
the needy Cavaliers.
The All-Star forward
was cleared to begin
“select basketball activities” following left foot
surgery, but there is still
no clear timetable when
he’ll play again for the
NBA’s worst team.
Love played in just
four games before
having surgery on
Nov. 2 to repair an
injury sustained during
Cleveland’s exhibition
opener. He had cartilage removed and fluid
drained from the base of
his large toe — an injury that made it difficult
to walk.

— Larry HospiDrew tal for
Coach Special
Surgery
in New York on Wednesday. The evaluation
revealed that Love’s foot
is healing and he can
begin some on-court
activities under the
direction of the team’s
medical staff.
But it’s still not
known when he’ll return
to Cleveland’s lineup,
and while he’s sidelined,
Love continues to be
mentioned in trade
rumors in advance of
February’s deadline.
Love signed a fouryear, $120 million
contract extension last
summer when the Cavs
lost LeBron James and
headed into a season in
which the club thought
it could rebuild and
contend.
But a horrific start
led to the firing of
coach Tyronn Lue and
the Cavs are just 8-30
entering Friday’s home
matchup against Utah.
It’s been a struggle
without Love.
“He’s been gone all
year,” coach Larry Drew
said. “We haven’t had
him all year. Kevin is,
let’s face it, he’s our
main guy. He’s our go-to
guy. He’s the guy we’re
going to put the ball in
his hands at the end of
the game. He does so
much because he has
that, being a guy his
size he can step up to
the 3-point line. You can
post him. He gets to the
foul line.
“Getting him back, it
will be a great welcome.
Hopefully it will be
sooner than later.”
Love has averaged
17.2 points and 10.0
rebounds with the Cavs,
who could be tempted
to move him in a deal.
Drew said it’s natural
for Love’s name to be
attached to trade talk
this time of year.
“I understand the
nature of this business. Anybody can be
traded,” he said. “I’ve
been in this league long
enough where I’ve seen
that happen. I think any
deal that makes sense
for any team — sure,
they’ll be willing to pull
the trigger. But that’s
just the nature of our
business. Around this
time is always an exciting time because you
start hearing names
floating around, all the
possibilities and the
probables and the ‘what
ifs’ and 99 percent of
the time none of it happens.”

Chargers coach Anthony
Lynn said: “I think that’s
the first time I’ve seen an
official get fired during
the season. Maybe it’s
happened before and I
just don’t know, but they
have jobs to do. We have
jobs to do. Coaches get
fired during the season
and players get fired during the season. That’s
accountability — it happens.”
Lynn was choosing his
words a lot more carefully than did Bowles or
Jenkins.
The good news is that
changes to the catch
rule worked, and there
weren’t any huge outcries over what a catch
really is the way there
were a season earlier.
And despite Matthews’
early complaints, new
measures to protect the
quarterback seem to be
working without taking
away the physical part of
the game that attracts so
many fans.
But games continue
to be held up for replay
reviews that are far from
instant. The flow of the
game is way too often
interrupted so calls can
be reviewed, and then
reviewed some more.
Replay was supposed
to fix everything. But it
can cause its own set of
problems, too.
“I think replay has
created some messes,”
Pereira said. “Replay,
more than anything, has
generated conversation
about officiating.”
Pereira, the first former
official to be hired as a
TV analyst, said he now
watches games more as
a fan than he did as vice
president of officiating
for the NFL, and understands better now fan
frustration about officials.
Today’s officials are the
best of the best, he said,
but are taught to make
calls based on what is
in front of them and not
how they might play out
in living rooms across the
country.
“They don’t think
about whether it’s a good
fan experience,” he said.
“They just think about
getting the call right
because they’re graded
on every game and on
every call.”
And there can be so
many calls available
to them. Some players — even an owner
or two — joke that the
rulebook would stretch
from one end zone to the
other. Truthfully, there
are hundreds of rules
that have addendums
and tangents, plus various points of emphasis
the league stresses each
season. There have been
suggestions about adding
another on-field official,
but perhaps condensing
the rules would be wiser.
The number of flags
thrown in the league
hasn’t changed much in
recent years, with NFL
officials calling around
4,000 penalties each
year. But there are wide
discrepancies between
the league’s 17 officiating crews on how many
penalties they call each
game.
Four of those officiating crews were headed
by rookie referees this
year, and they were
all in the top eight for
flags thrown. One crew,
headed by rookie referee
Shawn Hochuli, called
an average of 20.4 penalties a game, while at the
other end veteran Bill
Vinovich’s crew called an
average of 13.1 penalties
a game, still a relatively
high number.
That’s in part, Pereira
says, because officiating
has become more of a science than an art. Newer
officials tend to call all
penalties they see, where
those more experienced
might not toss a flag for,
say, holding, if it takes
place away from the play
and has no effect on the
outcome.
It might be time, he
said, to revisit why some
fouls are called and why
others aren’t.
“Let’s be frank about
the situation,” Pereira
said. “Ninety percent of
the ire raised by fans and
coaches is based on what
they call, not what they
don’t call. I’d rather see
the tendency go toward
fewer calls.”
Fewer calls might mean
fewer complaints, though
the one constant is that
officials are always going
to be a target of angry
fans. That’s especially
true in the NFL, where
the action is fast and getting faster, and calls have
to be made instantly.
