their tax money is being spent,
and I applaud local leaders here
for partnering with my office to
post the finances on OhioCheckbook.com,” Mandel stated in a
news release. “By posting local
government spending online,
we are empowering taxpayers
across Ohio to hold public officials
accountable.”

to partner with state Treasurer
Josh Mandel on the Ohio Checkbook transparency initiative,” stated Krider. “This cutting-edge tool
is available at no cost to the village
and will allow the people of Racine

dollars are being spent.”

includes about 3,600 individual
transactions that represent more
than $1.2 million of total spending
over the past three years.

to build house in
Meigs County
For Ohio Valley Publishing
MIDDLEPORT — Habitat for Humanity of
Southeast Ohio will begin building the first-ever
Habitat home in Meigs County in October.
“We are really excited to be working in Meigs
County” stated Kenneth Oehlers, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Southeast Ohio, in
a news release. “We are looking forward to working with the residents, businesses and churches in
Meigs County to create decent, affordable homes.”
As part of the build, Habitat for Humanity will
be hosting a two-day “blitz build.” During the
blitz, more than 120 volunteers will attempt to finish 50 percent of the home in less than 48 hours.
Habitat is currently registering volunteers to
participate in the blitz build, which is sponsored
by Mark Porter GMC, Farmer’s Bank, and Ohio
Valley Bank.
“The blitz build is truly an amazing event”
Oehlers said. “During the blitz, we will complete
the framing, roofing and siding phases of the
build. It is really amazing to see how fast a house
can be built using a passionate group of volunteers.”
Habitat for Humanity builds homes using volunteer labor. Volunteers will be needed before

POMEROY — Three
days each week, the Mulberry Country Kitchen,
located in the Mulberry
Community Center, provides lunch for those in
the community.
Soup and salad are
offered free of charge,
with a menu of homestyle meals available for
$3.
While the idea was initially to provide meals to
those in need, the community serves lunches to
a range of people from all
walks of life who visit for
lunch and socialize with
one another.
Since opening, more
than 1,900 meals have
been served by the allvolunteer staff.
“It is a privilege to
do this” said head cook
Linda Lukasik of taking
on the kitchen operation
following her retirement
a few years ago.
Now, the kitchen itself
is in need of some help
from the community it
serves.
Lukasik explained
that the money from the
lunches each day goes to
purchase the food items
and for routine mainte-

GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County man indicted on
felony charges of tampering
with evidence and abuse
of a corpse after allegedly
confessing to dismembering
a woman’s body is out of
police custody after posting Berry
bond Tuesday afternoon.
Gallia County Prosecutor
Jeff Adkins requested that Gallia County Common Pleas Court
Judge Dean Evans set bond for
Richard Hurt, 47, of Gallipolis, at
$500,000 with a 10 percent surety
during Hurt’s arraignment Tuesday morning. Adkins said
his office was still waiting
on the toxicology and autopsy reports of a dismembered
body discovered in West
Virginia before filing any
possible additional charges
against Hurt.
Evans ordered bond set
at $50,000 with a 10 percent surety. Conditions of
the bond state Hurt is to have no
contact with the reported victim’s
family as well as law enforcement.
“What this court is looking at is
a felony of the fifth-degree and a
felony of the third-degree,” Evans
said. “Regardless of what may have
happened, I can’t be looking at
something you may be anticipating
or looking at filing later, which are
the results of tests. … I’m looking
at a third-degree and a fifth-degree
felony, simply put.”
Hurt is represented by attorney
Ronald Janes. Hurt pleaded not
guilty to both charges at Tuesday’s
arraignment. Janes said during
proceedings that Hurt had no
prior crime records in the county,

Supporting Battle Thomas family does it better for 30 years
Days pageant
By Dean Wright

John Sang Ford in Gallipolis, Ohio, is once again the Battle Days
pageant crown sponsor. Pictured, from left, are Jr. Miss Battle
Days Emily Bale, John Sang Ford sales representative and pageant
committee member Brandon Sweeney, Little Miss Battle Days
Hadleigh Cossin, and Young Miss Battle Days Kate Henderson. The
pageant is set for 3 p.m. this Sunday at The Meeting House. The
pageant is a fundraiser for Mason County Toys for Kids.
GALLIPOLIS —
Thomas Do-It Best Center has been serving the
needs of the Ohio Valley
region for 30 years and
serves as a leading hardware and construction
materials provider
for the residents
and business
owners of the
area.
Not just that,
but it also was
chosen as Ohio
Valley Publishing’s
Readers’ Choice “Best
Hardware Store” in
2016.
The stores, in Gallipolis and Point Pleasant, have around 100
employees, according to
Autumn Thomas and her
father, Jim Thomas. The
Thomas family have had
a hand in running the
store since its founding.
“The biggest volume

“Although we are considered a hardware store,
the biggest part of our
volume is contractor supply.”
Autumn said that one
of the best-selling items
at the location is lumber.
She said there are many
aspects to home builds
and a variety of products
required to build a structure. The center provides
everything from block

“(Aside from

Autumn said the business prides itself on

Willis attends
Celebrating service at Beale Elementary
embalmer
trainng in Mo.
Staff Report
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Matthew R. Willis, director
of Willis Funeral Home in Gallipolis, recently completed 41 hours of specialized embalming and reconstructive training at Fountain National Academy by
attending the “Advanced Post Mortem Reconstructive
Surgery Seminar.”
The seminar was conducted at the Fountain National Academy Training Facility in Springfield.
It focused on specialized techniques that advanced
the skill level of the professional embalmer in the
areas of general embalming and post-mortem reconstructive surgery. A professional embalmer is often
called upon to prepare a deceased person that has
severe traumatic injuries. Reconstructive techniques
are sometimes necessary to achieve an acceptable
and identifiable appearance to enable viewing of the
deceased by family and friends.
Dedicated professional embalmers understand that
performance of reconstructive surgery to achieve
open casket viewing provides an important and powerful psychological benefit for the grieving family and
friends.
Fountain National Academy’s world headquarters is
based in Springfield, with representatives in Ireland
and Australia. Instructor Vernie R. Fountain is internationally recognized for his expertise in this field.
He states that Willis’ participation in the seminar is
an expression of untiring devotion and dedication to
the highest standards of embalming and post mortem
reconstructive surgery care.
Additionally, Fountain said attendance in the course
is an example of an “untiring dedication” to the profession of embalming.
“It is a commitment to the belief that there are
many important psychological values for the family
and friends that are associated with viewing and visitation of the body after death,” he said. “It exemplifies
a desire to provide continued high quality professional
care for the families served.”

Password breach could have ripple effects
LONDON (AP) — As
investors and investigators weigh the damage of
Yahoo’s massive breach to
the internet icon, information security experts worry
that the record-breaking
haul of password data could
be used to open locks up
and down the web.
While it’s unknown to
what extent the stolen data
has been or will be circulating — or how easy it would
be to use if it were — giant
breaches can send ripples
of insecurity across the
internet.
“Data breaches on the
scale of Yahoo are the security equivalent of ecological
disasters,” said Matt Blaze,
a security researcher who
directs the Distributed
Systems Lab at the
University of Pennsylvania,
in a message posted to
Twitter .
A big worry is a cybercriminal technique known
as “credential stuffing,”
which works by throwing leaked username and
password combinations at
a series of websites in an
effort to break in, a bit like
a thief finding a ring of keys
in an apartment lobby and
trying them, one after the
other, in every door in the
building. Software makes
the trial-and-error process
practically instantaneous.
Credential stuffing typically succeeds between 0.1
percent and 2 percent of the
time, according to Shuman
Ghosemajumder, the
chief technology officer of
Mountain View, Californiabased Shape Security.
That means cybercriminals
wielding 500 million passwords could conceivably
hijack tens of thousands of
other accounts.
“It becomes a numbers game for them,”
Ghosemajumder said in a
telephone interview.

OUR VIEW
Job creation
is happening
all around us
Last month, we wrote that although it’s easy to
see all of the things that are not going well in our
communities, we sometimes fail to see the many
other things are going right.
In Meigs County, Nidec Corp. announced its
$3.2 million expansion and investment in Middleport’s Imperial Electric plant. That expansion
added 18 new jobs to the local economy. It came
about as a result of cooperation between local
officials working with state officials and private
industry.
Point Pleasant has embarked on an effort to do
something about older buildings in town that are
an eyesore, unsafe and probably used for illegal
activity. Four such structures have come down in
the last four months.
Gallia County has broken ground on a $1
million-plus project to improve its riverfront by
adding an amphitheater and improving access for
boaters. That project has been charged to Meigs
County contractor, Pullins Excavation Inc. to do
ground-prep work. The “new” riverfront will go a
long way toward providing even more opportunity
for visitors to come to town and, along with it,
more dollars for our local businesses.
And Gallipolis recently opened the new Holzer
Therapy & Wellness Center at 735 Second Ave.
in the former Johnson Grocery Store. The facility
approached the $2 million mark and was a major
undertaking that couldn’t have occurred without
the collaboration of the Holzer Heritage Foundation, Holzer Health System, outside donations
from individuals and companies, and the Eastman
family that donated the building.
The job cuts announcement earlier this month
at the Gallipolis Development Center was a huge
blow, but that battle isn’t yet finished. State Rep.
Ryan Smith, R-Bidwell, is still engaged with
Columbus legislators on the issue.
Smith, who was recently featured in the October edition of Columbus Monthly magazine and
named “Most Effective,” “Hardest Working” and
“Best Listener” by his Ohio Statehouse colleagues,
is living up to that moniker. During a speech Tuesday night at the Gallia County Republican Party
Rally at the Gallia County Fairgrounds, Smith
made note of his displeasure with the GDC cuts.
“It’s frustrating. Those conversations are still
ongoing. I sent a letter following that situation to
the governor requesting a meeting. Quite frankly,
they’re not real happy with me right now, but
that’s OK,” Smith said. “I work for 117,000 people
in the 93rd District. I don’t work for the governor.
We will disagree. We have disagreed. We’re going
to continue to fight for what we think is right and
keep leading that charge.”
Prior to the rally, it was announced that the
Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved economic
development incentives for the expansion at the
Gallipolis ElectroCraft facility, meaning the company has committed to creating 30 new jobs in
Gallia County. Once the Job Creation Tax Credit
agreement is solidified, it would kick in beginning
January 2017, according to the Ohio Development
Services Agency, and the company would have
three years to “make good” on its job creation
promise.
ElectroCraft Inc., according to its website,
“specializes in dependable, application-engineered
specialty fractional-horsepower motor and motion
products.”
Job creation is happening all around us. That’s a
good sign of progress in our book.
THEIR VIEW
No one is qualified to be president
There is a great deal
of debate going on as
to whether the current
presidential candidates
are “qualified” to hold the
office. Good question,
but the answer is a bit
more ambiguous than we
might want to know.
The American system
of representation is not
based on educational or
experience qualifications.
It is, instead, dependent
on general popularity of
the vote. There is no list
of professional requirements to run for either
president or Congress,
arguably two of the three
most powerful branches
of government.
To be president, there
are age and citizenship
requirements. We’ve
heard enough from Donald Trump over the years
challenging President
Obama’s citizenship that
the actual law warrants a
look. The U.S. Constitution, in Article II, Section
1, reads as follows:
“No person except a
natural born citizen, or
a citizen of the United
States, at the time of
the adoption of this
Constitution, shall be
eligible to the office of
President; neither shall
any person be eligible to
that office who shall not
have attained to the age
of thirty-five years, and
been fourteen years a resident within the United
States.”
Other than that, the

Blue Devils,
Chapman advance
to district golf
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
The Blue Devils did it again.
That’s because Gallia Academy, for the ninth
consecutive season, is advancing to the Division
II boys district golf tournament — following Tuesday’s third-place finish in the sectional meet at the
Portsmouth Elks Country Club.
Meanwhile, for the second straight season,
Meigs junior Levi Chapman has qualified for the
Division II district golf meet as an individual.
By shooting a 79 at the Chillicothe Jaycees Golf
Course on Tuesday, Chapman placed third overall
— as the top five individuals not on a qualifying
team move on to the district round.
Gallia Academy is one of those five qualifying
teams from the Portsmouth Elks sectional, firing
a team total of 342 — with all five Blue Devils
shooting 88 or better.
In fact, all five qualifying clubs at Portsmouth
from a year ago are returning to the Division II
district, which will be held on Wednesday (Oct. 5)
at Crown Hill Golf Club.
Piketon, with a team total of 304, posted a
32-stroke sectional championship victory — the
Redstreaks’ third in a row.
Waverly was the runner-up with a 336, while
Gallia Academy — the sectional runner-up the
past two years — was third.
Portsmouth West was fourth with a 363 and
Portsmouth placed fifth with a 374.
For the Blue Devils, senior Miles Cornwell led
the way with an 82 — firing a 43 on the front side
and a smooth 39 on the back.
Two juniors — Taae Hamid and Kaden Thomas
— immediately followed with an 85 and 87 respectively, while seniors Jeremy Brumfield and Josh
Davis each shot 88.
Hamid had a 43-42 card and Thomas a 42-45,

Eagles top Rebels in 4
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
MERCERVILLE, Ohio
— By serving up plenty
of aces, Eastern’s Morgan
Baer kept the cards in the
Eagles’ favor.
That’s because Baer,
in amassing a massive
14 aces in addition to
setting for 40 assists,
spearheaded visiting
Eastern to a 25-15, 25-6,
23-25 and 25-12 Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division volleyball victory on
Tuesday night at South
Gallia.
That’s correct.
The Eagles’ junior setter indeed was on a roll,
nailing four aces in the
first game and another
six in the second —
including five in a row as
part of Eastern opening
the second set with 16
consecutive points.
Then, after the young
Lady Rebels won the
third game 25-23, Eastern opened the fourth
game with six straight
points — building its lead
to as large as 20-7 with
four more straight points
en route to winning the
match.
With the win, Eastern
improved to 8-6 — and
6-4 in the TVC-Hocking
Division.
South Gallia fell to 2-12
and 2-10 (TVC-Hocking),
but did manage to avoid
its fourth straight loss in
a three-game sweep.
The Rebels played well
in the opening and third
games, perhaps taking
advantage of Eastern’s
energy level —as the
Eagles endured a draining, heart-stopping, hardfought five-game encounter against league leader
Waterford on Monday
night.
Eastern opened the
first two games against
the Wildcats with wins,
but lost in the final three,
including 16-14 in the
decisive fifth game.
On Tuesday, it had
relatively easy wins in
the opening two sets, but
let a 10-4 lead evaporate
into a third-set loss before
bouncing back in the
fourth game.
“We were a little tired
tonight and it’s a long bus
ride. But that’s no excuse
and the girls know that.
Every game is something
brand new and you have
to come out like you are
defending a championship. Everybody wants
to win and any team
can win on any night,”
said Eastern coach Katie
Williams. “I think our
girls lost focus after that
second set. My message
to them before the fourth
set was basically to regain
their focus or they were
going to walk out of here
(South Gallia) with something that they didn’t
want. In the third and
even some in the fourth
game, our serving was
off-kilter.”
But not for Baer.
In the first game, amid
five lead changes and
ties of 1,-1, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7,
8-8, 9-9, 10-10 and finally
12-12, back-to-back-toback Baer aces — along
with a Morgain Little kill
— put the Eagles in front
for good.
From there, Eastern
amassed nine of the final
dozen points to win
25-15.
Baer, along with Katlyn
Barber’s three kills and
a solo block, bolstered
Eastern to the 16-0 lead
in game two — en route
to the 25-6 rout.
“In the second game,
we had phenomenal serving from Morgan Baer.
She was putting the ball
exactly where we needed
her to,” said Williams.
“She served hard and
consistent and that’s what
we look for.”
The Lady Rebels’ six
points in the second set
came courtesy of a Rachal
Colburn kill, a Colburn
ace, two attack errors, a
service error and a hitting
error.
But South Gallia got
one back in game three,
amid six lead changes
and erasing a 10-4 deficit
to take a 15-14 lead on
another Colburn kill.
An Eastern attack error
and a cross-court kill by
Taylor Burnette made it
22-20 South Gallia, but
the Eagles earned three
points in a row on an
Allison Barber kill and
back-to-back aces by
Mackenzie Brooks.
But an Eagle service
error, along with back-toback aces from freshman
Kiley Stapleton, clinched
the third game for South
Gallia.
However, the Lady Rebels could not maintain the
momentum in the fourth
game, with Eastern opening with six straight
points — as Baer served
for three more aces and
Little (five) and Katlyn
Barber (six) combined
for 11 of the club’s 14
kills.
Eastern also forced
South Gallia, much like
in the second game, into
several errors.
“We told the girls to
keep moving and just
play our game. We try to
take it to them to force
them to have to make the

45-43 and Davis the exact
opposite.
All five Blue Devils
posted individual scores
within the top 20.
The top four individual
scores at the sectional
meet count towards the
team total.
There were 13 teams
which posted team scores
at Portsmouth, while
River Valley — with only
three golfers — was the
14th team and did not
post a team score.
For the Raiders, sophomore Aaron Burke shot
a 94 — with a 46 on the
front nine and a 48 on the
back.
Senior Grant Gilmore,
in his final match, had a
103 — with a 51 and a
52.
Sophomore Gabe Gilmore tallied a 60 and a 62
for a 122.
Fairland and Ironton
ended up sixth and seventh with team totals of
378 and 380 respectively,
as Rock Hill was eighth

Northwest with a 491 and
South Point with a 526.
Piketon, which had all

medalist — D.J. Graham

“Eastern is a good

South Gallia coach Sarah

Barber and Little collected 14 kills apiece for
the Eagles, as Allison

At Chillicothe, Chapman’s 79 was four strokes
better than his sectional
tournament score from
last season.
He fired a 40 on the
front side and a 39 on the
back at the Jaycees, and
trailed only Costa Coconis of Sheridan (72) and
Brian Chaney of Zane
Trace (77) for match
medalist honors.
The other four individual qualifiers were Brad
Walker of Westfall and
Kyler Mount of Washington Court House with
identical 81s — along
with an 82 by Trevor
Newkirk of McClain and
an 83 by Cord Ebert of
Logan Elm.
As a group, the fivemember Marauders

score of 367, as Chapman
was followed by Wyatt

Bryce Swatzel with a 99.
Bobby Musser with
a 101 and senior Chase
Whitlatch with a 103, in
his final match, rounded
out the Maroon and Gold.
The top five teams
at Chillicothe were all
within 27 strokes of one
another, as Sheridan
edged New Lexington

team championship.
Unioto clipped Fairfield

“We’ve been meshing

three.

Motivating Cavs during NBA Finals
INDEPENDENCE,
Ohio (AP) — As the
champion Cavaliers
embarked on a new
season, coach Tyronn
Lue revealed he used a
creative tactic to motivate
them in the NBA Finals.
Lue used money to
inspire them.
After the Cavs won
Game 5 at Golden State
to pull within 3-2 of
the Warriors, Lue said
Tuesday that he collected
$100 from every player,
coach, trainer, equipment
manager, front office
member and media relations persons he could
find. In all, Lue gathered
more than $5,000.
“They were like,
‘Where is the money
going?’” Lue said. “I was
like, ‘It’s going to me and
I’m going to wrap it up
and put it in the ceiling in
the coaches’ locker room
and we’re going to come
back, get our money and
get our trophy for Game
7.’”
And that’s just what the
Cavs did, winning Game
6 at home and then heading to California, where
they completed the biggest comeback in finals
history by winning at
Oracle Arena to dethrone
the Warriors and end
Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought.
Lue said he borrowed
the trick from Los Ange-
team to overcome a 3-1
deficit in the finals.
“Some people got
it back. Some people
didn’t,” he said. “We
charged $100 for a championship for some guys
and some guys we gave
it back. We got it back to
the right people. Some of
it went toward my fine,
too, so I had to keep players’ money.”

Cincinnati Bengals outside linebacker Vontaze Burfict adjusts
his helmet during an NFL football mandatory minicamp in
Cincinnati in June 2014. Middle linebacker Burfict missed the
first three games on an NFL suspension for repeated illegal
hits, including his hit to the head of Steelers receiver Antonio
Brown during the last-minute meltdown in the playoffs.
Bengals close to full
strength for Miami
CINCINNATI (AP)
— Linebacker Vontaze
Burfict is finished with
his NFL suspension,
looking to put his
emphatic imprint on
Cincinnati’s struggling
defense.
Tight end Tyler
Eifert is close to full
strength after recovering from ankle surgery,
eager to become the
top passing option near
the goal line again.
The Bengals are
finally back together,
looking to dig out of
their worst start in five
years when they host
the Dolphins on Thursday night.
The Bengals (1-2)
have been out of sync
on both offense and
defense. They failed to
make any game-turning
plays in the fourth
quarter of back-to-back
losses against the Steelers and the Broncos.
With Burfict back and
Eifert close to form,
they’ve got two of their
top playmakers available again.
“I just do my job,
take control of my
defense, just be a leader
out there,” Burfict said.
“I do what I can.”
The Dolphins (1-2)
are simply trying to
hold it together. They
got their first victory
on Sunday in overtime
when Cleveland missed
a field goal at the end
of regulation.
There wasn’t much
time to celebrate
because of the quick
turnaround and a mess
on offense.
Tight end Jordan
Cameron suffered his
fourth concussion and
has been ruled out for
Thursday night. Left
tackle Branden Albert
and center Anthony
Steen have sprained
ankles.
Right tackle Ja’Wuan
James was pulled from
the game against Cleveland after allowing a
late sack. Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey has
missed the first three
games while recovering
from a hip injury.
“We’ll see where it
goes,” coach Adam
Gase said. “We’ve got
a couple of moving
pieces, obviously, with
our injury situation.”
It’s a game that neither team can afford to
lose.
“Being 1-2, in my
opinion, we need to
definitely finish the
quarter (of the season)
at 2-2 and go from
there, or else we put
ourselves in a very
tough bind for the rest
of the season,” Dolphins defensive tackle
Ndamukong Suh said.
Some things to watch
on Thursday night:
HOW MUCH FOR
BURFICT?
It’s likely that Burfict
will play most of the
game on Thursday
even though he missed
the preseason and the
first three games. Last
season, Burfict was
recovering from knee
surgery and missed the
first six games. In his
return in Pittsburgh,
he made solo tackles
on the first two plays
and was on the field
for nearly half of the
defense’s plays.
“We’ll just see how
it’s going,” defensive
coordinator Paul Guenther said. “That’s kind
of what happened in
Pittsburgh last year. I
said, ‘Every series, just
tell me how you’re feeling and we’ll go from
there.’”
RUN IT
After getting nextto-nothing out of its
running game in the
first two games, Cincinnati put an emphasis
on it Sunday and got
immediate results. Jeremy Hill carried four
times for 65 yards in
an opening touchdown
drive. After that, the
Bengals managed only
78 yards on 25 carries,
an average of 3.1. It
was better, but still not
up to standards. The
Dolphins’ run defense
is second-to-last in the
league.

INJURY REPORT:
Receiver K.J. Hill has a
high ankle sprain and will
miss several weeks.
Linebacker Justin Hilliard is out for the season
after suffering a torn left
bicep. He had a torn right
bicep last season and also
has had surgery for a torn
meniscus since coming to
OSU as a 5-star recruit.
Linebacker Dante
Booker, who started the
season opener against
Bowling Green but
has been sidelines by a
strained medial collateral
ligament since then, is

Meyer said.
How much he might
play or whether he will
regain his starting position from Jerome Baker
is uncertain, though.
COACHING CHANGES: When Meyer was
asked about LSU coach
Les Miles being fired
despite winning a national championship and
winning 77-percent of
his games as the Tigers
coach, he brushed it off at
first but then said the life
of a college football coach
has become crazy.
“Just beat Rutgers. I’m
just worried about this
place here,” Meyer said.
But then he added, “It’s
crazy and it’s getting
crazier. For those who
much is given, much is

OHIO AP PREP NOTEBOOK
A.J. Reed’s big game carries Vanlue to victory
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Vanlue needed
every one of A.J. Reed’s
59 rushes to pull off a
memorable 30-26 victory
against rival Arcadia on
Friday.
Reed, a 5-feet-9, 165pound senior, scored on
a third-and-goal from the
1 for a 28-26 lead with
18 seconds left then ran
in his third two-point
conversion of the game.
He had 296 yards and
three touchdowns as the
Wildcats (2-3) ended a
51-game losing streak in
the Blanchard Valley Conference.
“This is the best feeling
ever. I just wanted to do
it for my team,” Reed told
The (Findlay) Courier.
According to National
Federation of State High
School Association
records, Reed’s 59 carries are the ninth-most
in history. However, the
Ohio High School Athletic Association website
lists Cameron Campeau
of Kettering Fairmont
as having a state-record
63 rushes vs. Springfield

The Buckeyes rank
third nationally in scoring at 56.7 points a game
and are tenth in total
offense at 545.3 yards a
game.
Rutgers will be without
two of its top players,
wide receiver Janarion
Grant and defensive end
Quanzell Lambert, who
suffered season-ending
injuries against Iowa.
INDIANA KICKOFF
SET: Ohio State’s game
against Indiana at Ohio
Stadium on Oct. 8 will
have a 3:30 kickoff.
The game will be on
either ABC, ESPN or
ESPN 2.
BRUCE WILL DOT
“I”: Former OSU football
coach Earle Bruce will
dot the “I” in Script Ohio
on Saturday.
Typically, that honor
goes to a junior or senior
Sousaphone player in the
OSU marching band, but
there have been several
times when a celebrity,
university official or former coach or athlete has
done it.
Some of the celebrities
who dotted the “I” in
the past include Buster
Douglas, John Glenn,
Bob Hope, Woody Hayes
and Jack Nicklaus.
“It’s great and I’m very
happy for him,” Meyer
said.

Campeau’s mark, which
would tie for No. 2 alltime nationally, is not
noted by NFHS.org.
Nonetheless, Reed’s
night was impressive,
especially since he rushed
24 times in the fourth
quarter.
“I didn’t know how
much we gave it to him.
All I know is we were
gaining yards when we
did give it to him,” said
Vanlue coach Jeremy
Kloepfer. “We weren’t
going to go away from
that.”
Vanlue, in the Northwest District, has only 44
boys in grades 9-12 and
started the season with
18 players on the team
before injuries reduced
the roster to 16.
