Mugrage begins as Clerk of Courts Dec. 1
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
POMEROY — Beginning on Thursday there
will be a new Clerk of
Courts in Meigs County.
Sammi Mugrage was
elected to the position
officially earlier this
month, and was scheduled to begin that term
in January 2017.
With the announcement a few weeks ago
that Clerk of Courts
Diane Lynch would
retire at the end of
November, the commissioners appointed
Mugrage to fill the
vacancy, in essence
beginning her term a
month early.
While new to the
Clerk of Courts position,
Mugrage is no stranger
to the court system.
Mugrage has worked
in Meigs County Common Pleas Court for
more than 17 years, most
recently as the Court
Reporter.
“As a result I have
acquired an extensive
knowledge of the court
system and clerk of
courts operations that
would serve as an invaluable resource to me as
clerk,” said Mugrage.
FOR THE RECORD
Meigs County
Sheriff ’s Office
Mugrage said that she
is looking forward to
the transition into the
Clerk position and plans
to work along side the
employees of the office.
The Clerk of Courts
not only oversees the
Clerk of Courts office,
but the Title office as
well.
Looking at future
plans in her new position, she plans to work
toward making files
more accessible for the
public and those who
wish to view the files.
She will also be working
with others in the office
and the court system
to prioritize
what needs to be
adjusted to make
things smoother
in the office. Any
adjustments and
changes will take
time as the court Mugrage
system includes
numerous documents
and files.
One update that is
in the works is a new
system in the Title office
that will make things
quicker and more efficient.
As for staffing,
Mugrage said she would
take some time in the
position to decide if an
additional staff
person would be
needed in the
clerk’s office.
“I plan to work
right along side
them (the current employees of
the office),” said
Mugrage. ” I plan to rely
on them as much as I
hope they can rely on
me. I am excited to get
out there.”
“I am fortunate to have
a knowledgeable staff,”
said Mugrage.
Mugrage thanked the
commissioners and other
office holders for helping to ensure a smooth
transition.
“I am anxious to be
part of the team to meet
the needs of the county
and provide a better
experience for them,”
Mugrage stated.
“I am thankful for the
support of my family,
friends and fellow voters,” said Mugrage of
being elected to the position.
Mugrage is a 1996
graduate of Southern
High School and a lifelong resident of Meigs
County. She and her
husband, Travis, have
two daughters Avary and
Bella.

Butternut Avenue and Court Street, taking advantage of special sales and promotions as part of the day. Each year Small Business
Saturday has grown, with more than 100 million people estimated to have “Shopped Small” during this year’s event.

THEIR VIEW
Mars is just Fidel is dead and it’s party time
a dream
By Jay Ambrose
Contributing Columnist
By Charles Wohlforth
and Amanda Hendrix
Contributing Columnists
Reports of a new space race tell of NASA’s plan to
send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s and SpaceX
Chief Executive Elon Musk’s ambition to get private
explorers there first. This race, however, can’t be
won with either’s current technology, regardless of
their spending or commitment.
The barrier is human biology. Even a short, sortie
mission to Mars and back would be extremely hazardous to human health. A Mars colony is out of the
question. Living long-term on its surface is beyond
the capacity of our bodies to survive.
NASA doesn’t talk about this much. Starry-eyed
with space enthusiasm, most science reporters
haven’t covered this aspect of the story either.
The worst monsters in the moat between the
Earth and Mars are Galactic Cosmic Rays, or GCRs,
which are particles flung across space by exploding
stars. The most destructive of these particles are
iron nuclei traveling at close to the speed of light
and carrying the energy of a major league fastball.
Astronauts already encounter GCR particles, seeing telltale flashes of light when they pass through
their optic nerves. These radiation doses are tolerable during short stays on the International Space
Station, which is partially sheltered from GCRs
by the nearby Earth. On a long mission away from
Earth, however, shielding humans from GCRs is
practically impossible. Cancer and other medical
risks rise to unacceptable levels.
Pure physics rules out shielding. The most effective element to stop GCRs is hydrogen, making
water an ideal shielding material. Indeed, water in
our atmosphere protects us on Earth. But it takes
two meters of water to filter out about half the
radiation, and a cubic meter of water weighs 2,205
pounds. Carrying enough water to insulate a spacecraft is far beyond current capabilities.
On Earth, GCR radiation exists only in particle
accelerators, making its health impact difficult to
study. Twenty years ago, a National Research Council report called for an aggressive program to understand the problem and find countermeasures. That
never happened.
Several years ago, Dr. Frank Cucinotta, then head
of radiation health at NASA, highlighted the GCR
problem. His estimates showed that the risk of
cancer was greater even than that of a spaceflight
accident. He said his superiors resisted his message
with such severe negativity that he left the agency.
A NASA official denied Cucinotta was forced out.
Cucinotta’s point of view was vindicated, however, by the findings of a 2014 National Academy
of Sciences report. It listed nine health risks for a
Mars mission that are unacceptably high and six
more for which the severity is unknown. Issues
include heart damage from radiation, food and medicine stability, and astronauts’ psychological health.
With subsequent research, the radiation concerns
have grown. Scientists at the University of California at Irvine, with Cucinotta (now at the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas), reported last year that mice
exposed to GCR particles at levels similar to those
in outer space sustained brain damage and cognitive losses even without causing cancer. Some
of those in NASA who disagreed with Cucinotta
increasingly see the cognitive issues as a key problem.
Doctor-astronauts working on the International
Space Station in 2009 also discovered that living in
weightlessness can damage the optic nerve. In the
absence of gravity, cerebral-spinal fluid stops circulating. On voyages of more than a year, that could
lead to blindness or contribute to dementia.
The simplest solution would be to travel faster so
the ravages of space have less time to do damage.
Space propulsion would need a giant technical leap
to make a Mars round-trip in a safe period of about
150 days rather than NASA’s current estimates of
more than a year.
But even if you could get humans to Mars quickly
enough, staying is a problem. With the scant Martian atmosphere, human beings would have to live
underground for long-term radiation protection, a
daunting challenge and an unappealing prospect.
Musk imagines a space colony as a refuge from
calamity on Earth. But we can live underground
here. What conditions could develop that would
make it easier to do so on Mars?
That’s not to say space colonization won’t happen. It just won’t be on Mars. A more promising
spot for a permanent, self-sustaining settlement is
much farther away: Titan. This moon of Saturn has
a thick nitrogen atmosphere and unlimited supplies
of hydrocarbons and water. It is the most Earth-like
object in the solar system, where humans could live
without radiation shielding or even pressure suits
— although they would need respirators and heated
clothing.
Today, it takes seven years to get to Titan, still
much too long. To travel there, or to get anywhere
beyond the moon, we must find ways for humans to
survive the journey.
Charles Wohlforth, a science writer, and Amanda Hendrix, a planetary
scientist, are co-authors of “Beyond Earth: Our Path to a New Home in
the Planets.” They wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.
He started out a hero
but Fidel Castro was
the modern-age plague
of Cuba. He murdered
thousands, maintained
poverty, oppressed the
population in every
possible way and
imprisoned those who
complained. Now he’s
gone at the age of 90. In
Miami, Cuban Americans properly threw a
party.
This bearded, narcissistic, power-bedazzled
dictator, a lover of Communist evil, once upon
a time preached liberty.
That, he said, was his
chief objective as he led a
widely hailed revolution
to oust the utterly corrupt Fulgencio Batista,
succeeding in 1959. The
good cheer was everywhere and the wait was
on for a constitutional
government. Something
else quickly happened.
Firing squads took out
men, women and children. The complainers
did not just go to prison.
They were tortured.
When thousands tried
to flee, many were killed
either with or without
judicial acquiescence.
Life-encapsulating
socialist programs were
announced, and this
being the Cold War era,
an alliance with the
Soviet Union was soon
enough formed. Not
to be forgotten were
Castro’s hours-long, selfadoring oratorical misadventures exposing his
ambitions to mangle us.
Some Cubans did
escape to America, and
Castro sent others here
when he thought they
posed threats. He sent
armed troops to help the
Soviet Union in various
of its attempts to expand
political enslavement,
another means of killing
off his countrymen to no
humane avail.
Especially given its
virulence, Cuba seemed
a smelly, threatening
piece of the Soviet
Union sitting next door.
Arising out of this was
the embarrassment of
President John F. Kennedy in the Bay of Pigs
debacle. With ineptness
bred by inexperience,
he had agreed to back
expatriated Cubans
attacking Castro’s forces
on the homeland. When
things began to go sour,
Kennedy abandoned
an air attack pledged
to support them. They
were then either killed or
imprisoned.
Castro was mostly no
fool. He easily outwitted
inane assassination plots
dreamed up by U.S. intel-
ligence operations. Faced
with a U.S. embargo,
he traded Cuba’s sugar
cane with Russia and
received billions in aid.
But then, to fight back
against another attack
and annihilate America if
he deemed it necessary,
he got the Soviet Union
to send him a bunch of
short-range nuclear missiles. This led, of course,
to the Cuban Missile Crisis that could itself have
led to nuclear war.
It didn’t, and, over
Castro’s furious objections, the missiles were
removed. Here was an
island dictator who
helped bring the world
close to unspeakable
tragedy, but hey, some
say, look at his great
achievements in health
and education.
What a farce. As has
been reported by alert
journalists, the good
health care has gone
to tourists and the rich
in government, not to
the people at large. To
Castro’s credit, the literacy rate in the country
did zoom upwards, but
the literate were then
taught propaganda of a
kind that now has the
deceived mourning in
Havana.
Castro finally retired
some years back, leaving
his brother Raul to con-
tinue the oppression and
compete with Batista for
Cuba’s foremost corruption record. President
Barack Obama has made
a number of deals with
him, including a significant one this year. He
restored diplomatic relations. Travel restrictions
won’t be what they used
to be. U.S. banks can
help boost the economy.
And the extension of
human rights that Cuba
agreed to in return?
Sorry, but zippo.
Maybe a President
Donald Trump can get
Raul Castro to do just
a thing or two, such as
releasing political prisoners. Perhaps, then, the
embargo could be lifted.
Maybe Cuba would be on
a road to prosperity and
the liberty Fidel Castro
had promised before putting his own power first.
I wouldn’t count on it.
Fidel has at least
departed, and, symbolically, that is a good
thing, marking a time for
celebration, and not just
in Miami. But sadly, very
sadly, Cuban totalitarianism is still hanging on
until another Castro says
goodbye, at least politically.

THEIR VIEW
Faithless electors would distort fairness, rule of law
By Noah Feldman
Contributing Columnist
When my colleague
Lawrence Lessig argued
at Medium that members of the Electoral
College should break
faith and vote for Hillary
Clinton instead of Donald Trump, I chalked
it up to the brilliantly
contrarian Larry being
brilliant and contrarian
— even if wrong.
But when, over the
holiday weekend, the
Washington Post published his op-ed making
the same argument, it
made me think serious
people might take his
argument seriously,
which would be dangerous for democracy and
bad for the republic. So
with great respect for
Larry’s ideals and values, here’s why faithless
electors would subvert,
not sustain, the democratic values that underlie the U.S. presidential
election system.
Start with a thought
experiment: What if
Donald Trump had won
the popular vote and lost
in the Electoral College?
How would Democrats
respond if prominent
scholars and public
figures argued that
Clinton’s electors should
break their pledges and
elect Trump?
I’ll tell you how: Democrats would see it as an
attempted coup d’etat.
And they’d be right. The
vote in the Electoral College has always been a
formality. Its purpose is
simply to effectuate the
results of the electoral
system we have, with all
its imperfections.
Faithless electors have
never determined the
outcome of a presiden-
tial election, and for
good reason. To do so
would be to change the
rules of the game in the
game’s closing minutes.
It would distort fairness and the rule of law.
And it would send the
extremely worrisome
message that electoral
results aren’t to be taken
seriously as the outcome
of a legally constrained
process.
Lessig makes one constitutional argument and
one democratic argument in favor of faithless
electors subverting the
system, and they’re both
unconvincing.
Constitutionally, Lessig makes the highly
idiosyncratic, original
and mistaken claim
that the Electoral College was intended as a
“safety valve” or “circuit
breaker” to allow the
electors to ignore the
public’s vote. He attributes this idea to Alexander Hamilton.
But in Federalist 68,
which Lessig cites,
Hamilton said nothing of the kind. The
point of the essay was
that the Electoral College was better than a
pre-existing legislative
body, which could be
subverted by outside
influences. (That’s you,
Larry.) Hamilton called
the Electoral College
“an immediate act of
the people of America.”
That’s not a safety valve.
It’s a faucet.
If the Electoral College
had been intended to
make a decision of any
kind, the Constitution
could have given its electors the power to choose
the president in case no
candidate got a majority.
It wasn’t. Instead, the
Constitution threw such
situations to the House
of Representatives. As
Hamilton noted, the
Electoral College was a
one-shot deal: appear,
vote, disappear from
existence.
That leaves Lessig’s
argument from democratic theory — namely,
because the Electoral
College gives some
mildly disproportionate
power to small states,
which have a minimum
of three votes, it violates
the principle of one
person, one vote. That’s
true, but irrelevant to
subverting the system.
The Constitution creates that vote structure.
And there’s a way to
change that: by democratic means, not by the
arbitrary act of obscure
electors engaging in
revolutionary change.
What’s dangerous
about the appeal to
faithless electors isn’t
that they’re going to listen. It’s the willingness
to propose breaking
the basic constitutional
structures of democracy
at perhaps the most
delicate moment for
those structures in my
lifetime.
Now is not the time
for experts in constitutional law to be cavalier
about following the procedures, including the
unwritten procedures,
that shape our constitutional norms. The president-elect broke many
of the unwritten norms
of electoral politics to
win the election. The
overarching goal must
now be to make sure he
doesn’t break the Constitution.
The rules of the game
may be problematic; I
would certainly love to
see the Constitution
amended to abolish
the Electoral College.
But the solution isn’t
to break the game. The
election would have
been fought differently
under different rules,
and it’s impossible to
say with any confidence
what the result would
have been.
When someone loses
the popular vote and
wins the Electoral College, it’s a genuine challenge to the democratic
legitimacy of the constitutional system. But it
isn’t a challenge to the
constitutional legitimacy
of the electoral outcome.
Those who put the
abstraction of “democracy” ahead of the Constitution had better be
ready for Donald Trump
to do the same. If he
does, they’d better have
a stronger argument
than Hillary Clinton got
more votes.
As for me, I’m going
with the Constitution,
constitutional tradition and the rule of law.
And I would urge my
brilliant, contrarian colleague to do the same.
Hamilton was something very like a monarchist. Notwithstanding
the current perception
that he was some sort
of patriot radical, he
in fact asserted at the
Philadelphia convention
that “the British Government was the best in
the world: and that he
doubted much whether
any thing short of it
would do in America.”
Somehow his paean to
monarchy didn’t make it
into the musical.

Browns
clinging
to hope
headed into
bye week
BEREA, Ohio (AP)
— Amid this season of
depression and despair,
the Browns haven’t lost
hope.
And as he and his
teammates prepare for a
much-needed bye week
following 12 straight losses, rookie wide receiver
Corey Coleman looked to
the future and offered a
shred of optimism.
“I’ve been winning
my whole life,” he said.
“But the tables are going
to turn. It can’t get any
worse.”
Sadly, there’s still
another level of misery
for the Browns (0-12),
now four losses from
joining the 2008 Detroit
Lions as the only teams
in NFL history to complete a 16-game schedule
without a win. They
can avoid that notoriety
with a victory that has
remained so elusive so
far.
This is new territory
for Coleman and Cleveland’s 17 other rookies,
who in addition to adjusting to life as paid professionals, are getting their
first real taste of failure as
athletes.
“It’s tough around
here,” Coleman said
Monday, a day after the
Browns fell 27-13 to the
New York Giants, Cleveland’s 15th straight loss
dating to last season.
“But we’re going to continue to keep on working. I’m going to continue to keep on working.
Nobody’s given up, and
that’s what’s really good
about this locker room
and the older guys leading us and stuff, nobody’s
showing any signs of quitting.”
Browns coach Hue
Jackson won’t let them.

Blue Angels top River Valley, 43-27 in season opener
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
CENTENARY, Ohio — Not
every team gets to start the
season with a win.
The Gallia Academy girls
basketball team never trailed
en route to a 43-27 victory over
non-conference guest River
Valley, on Tuesday night, in the
season opener for both squads.
The Blue Angels (1-0) scored
the game’s opening basket, but
River Valley (0-1) scored with
6:18 left in the first quarter to
tie the game at two, the final
time the game was tied. GAHS
took advantage of nine Lady
Raider turnovers in the opening stanza, finishing with an
11-2 run.
Gallia Academy was held
scoreless for the first 5:30 of
the second period, as RVHS
battled back to within four
points at 13-9. However, GAHS
scored six straight points to
widen the lead to 10, with just
under two minutes remaining
in the first half. The Lady Raiders outscored their host 4-to-2
over the remainder of the first
half, making Gallia Academy’s
lead 21-13 at the break.
The teams each scored four
points over the first two minutes of the second half, but
neither scored for over three
minutes after that. GAHS sank
four consecutive free throws —
extending the lead to 12 — but
River Valley ended the third
period with a 5-0 run.
RVHS was held scoreless
for over six minutes to start
the fourth quarter, as the Blue
Angels extended their lead to
35-22. In the final two minutes,
GAHS with surrendered five
points, but shot 4-of-6 from the
free throw line and added two
field goals, to seal the 43-27
victory.
“We’re starting off the season with an in-county rivalry, a
big win and a confidence boost
for us,” said GAHS assistant
coach Chris Tackett. “This is
a great building block for us,
because we’re still young and
still maturing. Moving forward,
we like where were at.”
For the game, GAHS shot
15-of-43 (34.9 percent) from
the field, including just 1-of-11
(nine percent) from beyond
the arc. The Blue Angels were
12-of-21 (57.1 percent) from
the charity stripe, included
6-of-9 (66.7 percent) in the
fourth quarter.
“Tonight, free throw percentage was the difference in
extending the lead,” Tackett
said. “We were above what
we’d been tallying in the preview and in the foundation
game. Putting the game out of
hand with free throws in the
final few minutes was crucial.
That’s the difference in a tight

game and one where we can sit
back.”
The Blue Angels finished
with 37 rebounds, including 13
offensive boards. Gallia Academy committed 19 turnovers in
the win.
“At the end of the day —
whether it’s your in-county
rival or just a regular opponent — we have to keep our
composer,” Tackett said. “It’s
a big game, but we need to
play within ourselves. If not,
we get a little rattled and out
of control, like we did tonight.
Sometimes tonight, we tried
to make a play when we didn’t
have to.”
For the Lady Raiders, the
weeks leading up to the season
opener were anything but normal, as RVHS Athletic Director
Richard Stephens stepped in as

Bengals headed toward worst finish in 6 years
Gail Burton | AP
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (14)
walks along the sidelines during the second half
of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens in
Baltimore. The Bengals 19-14 loss drops Cincinnati to
3-7-1 on the season and makes a playoff appearance
highly unlikely.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton’s
most important passes didn’t even make
it past the line of scrimmage. Mike
Nugent missed another extra point.
And the Bengals lost yet another game
in throwback fashion, making every sort
of mistake.
Heading into December, it’s clear
they’ve bungled their season away, too.
A 19-14 loss in Baltimore on Sunday
left the Bengals (3-7-1) pretty much finished for 2016.
They’re 2½ games behind Baltimore
(6-5) and Pittsburgh (6-5) with only five
left.
The defending AFC North champs
would have to run the table, and the
Ravens and Steelers both would have to
have meltdowns for the Bengals to reach
the playoffs.
They know the odds of that happening aren’t good at all. The Bengals have
reached the playoffs a club-record five
consecutive seasons, and that streak is
about to get snapped.
“We know some things have to break
our way now,” coach Marvin Lewis said
on Monday .
Also, they know they haven’t played
well enough at any point this season to
consider themselves playoff-worthy.
That was the case again on Sunday in
Baltimore, where they played well enough
to stay in the game but no more.
Dalton has been under constant pressure during the season, getting sacked 32
times — fourth most in the NFL.
Even when they’re not getting to Dalton, defenders are making it tough on
him. Four of Dalton’s last eight passes
were batted down at the line as the
Ravens set their defense to take away the
downfield throw and focused on knocking
down the short ones.
Four of eight passes knocked down?
Mind-boggling.
“Those things happen very, very rarely,”
offensive coordinator Ken Zampese said
on Monday. “I mean, this was the first
time that came up, it came up in a big

the way for him to play again this season.
Browns QB Griffin cleared for
contact, could play after bye
Browns
an opportunity to win a
game. The next one up is
Cincinnati. We are going
to do whatever it takes to
get ourselves in that ‘W’
column.”
Jackson has spent the
season shuffling quarterbacks and another switch
could be on the horizon.
Robert Griffin III, out
since breaking a bone in
his left shoulder in the
opener, returned to practice last week and could
play in Cleveland’s final
four games. He still has
to undergo a medical test
before he can be cleared
for contact, and Jackson
said the team is “in the
process of getting that
done.”
Jackson acknowledged
that Griffin, who has
made just one start since
the end of the 2014
season, might be able to
jump-start the Browns’
offense, which has scored
just 39 points in the past
four games.
“We have to find a way
to get the ball in the end
zone better than what we
have, and if somebody
can do that better, then
we are going to play
him,” Jackson said.
The Browns want to
get another look at Griffin before heading into
an offseason when they’ll
need to make major personnel decisions, none
more important than at
quarterback. They have
two first-round draft
picks, and it’s possible
they’ll use one on their
next QB.
That’s down the road.
Of more immediate
concern for Jackson is
getting his team to finish
this dreadful season on a
positive note.
Jackson extracted some
positives from Sunday,
but he won’t be satisfied
until the Browns win
and that’s why he briefly
choked up Sunday. He
received numerous sympathetic texts, but joked
that he deleted them all.
The losing has hurt,
but hasn’t changed him.
“I am what I am,” Jackson said. “What you guys
see in me is what you are
going to get. I am not a
phony and I am human
like everybody else, so
that is just part of it. You
might see more of it than
that over the course of
time here.”
to scout and I didn’t get
to see them play. Again,
our girls are in a tough
spot, but they played
their hearts out and never
gave up. They trust in me
100 percent, they trust
in our coaching staff and
they left everything on
the floor.”
The Lady Raiders shot
just 1-of-8 (12.5 percent)
from the free throw
line and 12-of-52 (23.1
percent) from the field,
including 2-of-12 (16.7
percent) from beyond the
arc.
“We talked about
trusting the offense
and trusting each other
offensively, and I think
they did that,” Stephens
said. “I got them settled
down in between quarters
and they started taking
care of the basketball.
They started trusting the
offense and doing what I
know they’ve been taught
to do.”
After the nine-turnover
first period, the Lady
Raiders only committed
five over the remainder of
the game. For the game,
RVHS finished with 30
rebounds, including 12
offensive.
“We have a young team
and a sophomore point
guard in Beth Gillman,”
Stephens said. “She did a
great job and I can’t say
enough about how she
played tonight, against a
pretty pressured defense.
She grew up really fast
tonight.”
GAHS senior Carly
Shriver led all scorers
with 14 points, while
classmate Adrienne Jenkins added 11. Hunter
Copley poured in nine
points for the victors,
while freshman Alex
Barnes scored four in her
debut. Kimberly Edelmann and Macey Siders
both scored two for Gallia
Academy, while Jenelle

able to get after Dalton.
When they scored their
only touchdown, Nugent

wide right, the fourth
time he’s missed a pointafter-touchdown try in
four games. Lewis reiterated on Monday that the
Bengals have no plans to
bring in another kicker

Lewis said. “But you

emotional while discussing the agony of his first
season in Cleveland following Sunday’s game,
said he’s determined to

no plans to decompress.
“I honestly do not

Griffin has been sidelined since breaking a bone in
his left shoulder late in the Sept. 11 opener against
Philadelphia. He returned to practice last week, but
still had to pass another medical test to make sure
his injury had healed enough to absorb hits.
The Browns (0-12) have a bye this week, but Griffin will likely start the Dec. 11 game against Cincinnati. Browns coach Hue Jackson could go back to
rookie Cody Kessler, but he sustained his second
concussion of the season on Nov. 20 and only completed the concussion protocol on Monday.
Griffin signed a two-year, $15 million contract
with the Browns in March. The Browns will have
four games to evaluate the 26-year-old RG3 and
decide whether to bring him back as their starter in
2017.
Vikings RB Peterson
progressing with
running at facility
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is moving
forward in the recovery from surgery on his right
knee.
Peterson ran some short sprints in the team’s
indoor facility on Tuesday, while the athletic
training staff supervised and his teammates went
through practice. With five games remaining in
the regular season, there’s no timetable for Peterson’s return, but the four-time All-Pro pick could
still be ready for action sometime in December.
Peterson rushed for a paltry 50 yards on 31
carries in two games before tearing his meniscus
against Green Bay on Sept. 18 and had surgery
four days later.
The Vikings (6-5) are last in the NFL in rushing with 71.1 yards per game and 2.8 yards per
attempt.
Stevens chipped in with
one point.
Copley pulled in a
game-best 10 rebounds,
while Stevens and Shriver
each had eight boards.
Shriver, Copley and Jenkins each had two assists
for the Blue and White,
while Jenkins led the
defensive effort with one
steal and one block.
River Valley junior
Jaden Neal led the guests
with 12 points, followed
by Erin Jackson with nine
and Maggie Campbell
with six.
Jackson hauled in nine
rebounds to lead RVHS,
while Campbell, Neal and
Jessica Steele each added
five. Jackson also led the
Lady Raiders in assists
and steals, with four of
each.
These teams are scheduled to meet again on
February 4, in Bidwell.
On Thursday, River
Valley will visit Fairland,
while GAHS will travel to
Point Pleasant.

Big 12 has 3 games
left, will leave 1
bowl spot unfilled
By Stephen Hawkins
Associated Press
The winner of the Big 12 Conference’s de
facto championship game will get a sweet prize
indeed.
While Oklahoma or Oklahoma State will be
headed to the Sugar Bowl, the Big 12 overall
won’t have enough eligible teams to fill its seven
guaranteed bowl spots.
Six Big 12 teams still have their regular-season
finales to play Saturday, including the Bedlam
rivalry game that will determine the conference
champ. All of those teams already have six wins
(or more) needed for bowl eligibility.
But none of the four teams that ended last
weekend, including Texas and Texas Tech at 5-7,
have winning records.
Seventh-ranked Oklahoma (9-2, 8-0 Big 12)
and 11th-ranked Oklahoma State (9-2, 7-1) are
both without a loss since September. In the other
Big 12 regular-season finales, 14th-ranked West
Virginia (9-2, 6-2) hosts Baylor (6-5, 3-5); and
TCU (6-5, 4-4) is home against Kansas State
(7-4, 5-3).
“I think our people would be fired up about
the opportunity to be in a New Year’s Day bowl,”
coach Mike Gundy said Monday about the possibility of returning to the Sugar Bowl, where the
Cowboys lost 48-20 last January.
“We had a great experience. We didn’t play as
well as we wanted to,” he said. “We were not a
very healthy football team at that time and played
a really, really good Ole Miss team.”
Oklahoma beat Alabama 45-31 in the Sugar
Bowl three seasons ago, but last year was in the
four-team playoff.
The Sooners, with eight wins in a row since
losing two non-conference games, were eighth in
the CFP ranking last week.
“You always want to have a chance at the
national championship and the playoffs, but it
doesn’t work every year,” Oklahoma coach Bob
Stoops said during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “You do the best you can.”
A new CFP ranking comes out Tuesday night,
but the Sooners were already behind undefeated
Alabama and one-loss Ohio State, which beat
Oklahoma in September. The defending national
champion Crimson Tide and the Buckeyes, even
without going to the Big Ten title game, appear
to be locked into playoff spots.
The winner of the Big Ten championship game
— Wisconsin or Penn State — will have two
losses, but both were also ahead of the Sooners.
So were the potential ACC and Pac-12 champions.
With the Big 12 champion headed to the Sugar
Bowl, or the runner-up if the champion somehow
gets into the playoff, these are the league’s other
bowl spots to be filled:
The Alamo Bowl (vs. Pac-12) gets the second
pick from Big 12 teams, followed by the Russell
Athletic Bowl (vs. ACC), the Texas Bowl (vs.
SEC), the Liberty Bowl (vs. SEC) and the Cactus
Bowl (vs. Pac-12). That would leave the Armed
Forces Bowl, with the smallest payout, without a
Big 12 team for its game in TCU’s home stadium.
Some other notes from the final Big 12 coaches
teleconference of the season:
UNSELFISH MOUNTAINEERS
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen has often
talked about how unselfish his team is this season. The latest example is freshman running
back Martell Pettaway, who had his redshirt
pulled in the 11th game because of injuries, then
ran 30 times for 180 yards and a touchdown.
“We had no choice,” Holgorsen said. “If he was a
selfish guy, he wouldn’t have been on board with
that. … He took advantage of his opportunity.”
NOT EVERYBODY
Only the six coaches with games left took part
in Monday’s call. The leadoff spot held the past
three seasons by Texas coach Charlie Strong,
who was fired and replaced by Tom Herman, was
silent, as were the usual slots for David Beaty of
Kansas (2-10), Matt Campbell of Iowa State (3-9)
and Kliff Kingsbury of Texas Tech (5-7).

Big Ten reprimands Harbaugh
for criticizing officials
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press
The Big Ten reprimanded Michigan coach
Jim Harbaugh and fined
the school $10,000 on
Monday for violating the
conference’s sportsmanship policy by criticizing
officials after the Ohio
State game.
Harbaugh blasted
the officiating after the
Wolverines’ 30-27 doubleovertime loss Saturday in
Columbus, Ohio, saying
he was “bitterly disappointed” during a lengthy
rant.
He complained about
an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he drew in
the second half of the
game when he tossed
headphones and a play
card, a pass interference
against Michigan that prolonged a key drive for the
Buckeyes and a non-call of
pass interference against
Ohio State. He was most
ardent about the spot of
a fourth-down play that
gave the Buckeyes a first
down in overtime when a
stop would have won the
game for the Wolverines.
Ohio State scored the
winning touchdown on
the next play.
The Big Ten cited its
sportsmanship policy in
punishing Harbaugh, saying his comments were
in violation of a portion
that states in part that
“The Big Ten Conference expects all contests
involving a member institution to be conducted
without compromise to
any fundamental element
of sportsmanship. Such
fundamental elements
include integrity of competition, civility toward
all, and respect, particularly toward opponents
and officials.”
