By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — There will be an opportunity later this month for people to take the plunge — literally. The Los Cuervos (The Crows) Rider Riders Club will be conducting the “Snow Crow Polar Plunge” into the Ohio River at 2 p.m. Jan. 30 Rich Wamsley, Los Cuervos vice president, said he hopes to see plenty of people jumping into the frigid river on the day of the event. In January 2014, community members held the 2014 Polar Puppy Plunge to raise funds for the Meigs County Dog Shelter. And after the event, which had 24 jumpers, Wamsley said the jumpers, along with those who simply wished to donate, raised more than $7,000 over the course of one month for the shelter. “They’re sponsoring for you to jump in the water,” he said. “And you get as many sponsors as you can.” During this year’s fundraiser, the club is hoping to raise $10,000 for charity. Any money received will be distributed in two ways: $4,200 of any of the money raised will go toward a local girl named Mady, who has severe Type 1 diabetes. Her family has recently rescued a dog, Rosie, from the Meigs County Dog Shelter, and are currently training Rosie to become a diabetic alert dog. The $4,200 raised will help the family finish paying for Rosie’s complete training. The rest of the money will go into a Los Cuervos account to be used for another cause at a later date, Wamsley said. “Not only are you able to possibly solve one problem by the little girl being able to have a somewhat normal life … but you’ve also solved two problems because you helped save a dog from possible death,” Wamsley said, “so it’s two wonderful things.” According to information provided by Wamsley, Rosie began training at Tri-State K9 Services in Huntington, W.Va., at six weeks old. Once her training is completed, Rosie will be able to sense whether Mady’s sugar levels are too high or too low, and will be able to give signals to indicate this. Los Cuervos is a new group that is nationally sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association. So far, the group has provided food and funding for the Meigs County Veterans Outreach on Veterans Day, with a total of $1,900 Courtesy photo A group takes the plunge during 2014’s Polar Puppy Plunge.

The depositions of Beavercreek police Officer Sean Williams and Sgt. David Darkow will be delayed at least three months under last week’s ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Newman. Their attorneys argued the officers faced an “impossible” choice: give statements that might contribute to a potential criminal case against them or invoke their constitutional right against self-incrimination and skip a chance to defend themselves in the civil matter. They argued it was in the interests of justice to postpone the depositions while the Department of Justice reviews whether civil rights violations occurred. Newman granted a limited stay for 90 days, noting that it wouldn’t delay key dates in the legal proceedings and attorneys could continue taking statements from other witnesses. The case stems from the August 2014 death of John Crawford III, who was shot by Williams after a 911 caller reported someone waving a gun. Police said Crawford, 22, appeared to have a real weapon and didn’t respond to orders to drop it. Investigators later determined Crawford was talking on a cellphone and had picked up an unloaded air rifle from a shelf at the suburban Dayton store. The case became part of larger discussions about police use of force and the role of race. Crawford was black, and Williams is white. Attorneys for Crawford’s family noted the officers testified before the grand jury that concluded the shooting was justified, and they argued the policemen shouldn’t get to “pick and choose” when they discuss the shooting. A message was left Monday for those lawyers. The family’s lawsuit was filed against Beavercreek police and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and alleges negligence and civil rights violations. The city and Wal-Mart denied the allegations. Blaze that killed firefighter ruled arson CINCINNATI (AP) — A blaze in a home that left a firefighter dead was arson, authorities said Monday as they pledged an intensive homicide investigation. Patrick Wolterman, 28, died at a hospital soon after entering the smoke-filled home early on Dec. 28 and falling through a floor into a basement. It was the first death in the line of duty since 1971 for the fire department in Hamilton, some 30 miles north of Cincinnati. Hamilton officials declined immediately to discuss the findings that led to the ruling about the blaze. Police Chief Craig Bucheit said police give their best efforts investigating any loss of life from a criminal act, but he acknowledged that this case takes on added meaning. “It’s different because we know how devastating this loss has been to Patrick’s family, his fellow firefighters and our entire community,” Bucheit said. “But I can assure you we will tirelessly examine every piece of evidence, pursue every lead and work every angle of this investigation until we deliver justice to those who are responsible.” First responders learned later that the couple who lived there was away on vacation. Authorities have said a security alarm was triggered just before 911 calls about a fire. A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the identification of suspects and their conviction. Bucheit said that they have already received “a lot of tips” that are being checked out and that they are interested in anything people have seen or heard about the fire. An investigative task force on the fire includes Hamilton, Butler County, state and federal investigators, police said. Uniformed firefighters from across the country were among thousands of people who turned out Dec. 31 for a memorial service and funeral procession to honor Wolterman. He had joined the Hamilton Fire Department in April after several years of experience with local township fire departments, and he was married in May. Hamilton’s fire chief announced at the memorial service that Wolterman’s badge No. 89 was being retired. Veteran councilman sworn in as mayor PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia inaugurated native son Jim Kenney as its 99th mayor on Monday, ushering in new leadership for a city experiencing a development boom downtown but still struggling with entrenched poverty in many neighborhoods. Kenney, 57, succeeds outgoing Mayor Michael Nutter, who leaves office after two terms. Kenney served on City Council for more than two decades before he was elected in November. He was joined on the stage of the Academy of Music by his daughter and son, and was sworn in by newly elected state Supreme Court Justice Kevin Dougherty. Kenney said he was humbled that Dougherty, a neighborhood friend from South Philadelphia, was part of the ceremony. “We did good, right?” he said to Dougherty. In a brief speech, Kenney highlighted his top priorities, including poverty, universal pre-K, gentrification and quality schools for all neighborhoods. “Our children shouldn’t have to take three buses to attend a good school,” he said. He also touched on neighborhood safety and relations between police and the community. “Black lives do matter,” he said to enthusiastic applause, adding that at the same time, police offi- cers work hard and risk their lives every day. He said he hopes Philadelphians can work together to make the city fairer for all. “Government simply cannot do it alone,” he said. “We need our businesses, our nonprofits, our universities and everyday Philadelphians to come together and row in the same direction.” Later Monday, Kenney tweeted that he had signed an executive order prohibiting the city from cooperating with federal immigration agents. In 2014, his predecessor signed a similar order that barred police from holding immigrants solely on immigration detainers without an additional warrant. But the city had considered a policy change late last year that would have allowed greater cooperation with immigration officials, outraging immigrant-rights groups. Kenney said at the time he wanted Philadelphia to retain its status as a “sanctuary city.” Kenney assumes office after several years of progress for a city that had endured decades of decline. The murder rate dropped sharply from when Nutter took office, more students are graduating from high school, unemployment is down and Nutter declared that veteran homelessness is “effectively over.” The city of 1.5 million also grew by about 70,000 since 2006, thanks in large part to millennials attracted to a rejuvenated downtown. More than a quarter of residents are between 20 and 35 years old, many who moved to the city for work or stayed after college. But Philadelphia remains the nation’s poorest big city, and Kenney has pledged to create more jobs, including for former felons. Kenney’s election is credited, in part, to strong support from the black community — something Irish-American Kenney has said he considers a huge responsibility as he takes office. In his time as a city councilman, Kenney worked on inequality, as well as immigration, gay rights and criminal justice reform. Kenney has pointed to his Irish roots and Jesuit upbringing as the influences that make him sensitive to these issues.

If people are more content with their lives, I figure the world will be happier in general. I enjoy being a spy with a mission, but sometimes, I just want to lollygag. I stroll to the back deck of my house, cradling my coffee mug and lean against the rail to watch the honking geese fly over the pond.

Her column appears each Tuesday. THEIR VIEW Honor the past this new year I grew up on a threelegged stool — a solid foundation of church, family, and school. Each leg was part of a patriotic nationalism that espoused Judeo-Christian values and a reverential respect for our past. If the church told me that stealing was wrong and honesty the best policy, my family and school reinforced those ethical precepts. Seldom were church, school, and family out of sync. I entered kindergarten in 1944, just three months after the D-Day invasion. I had no idea where Normandy was, nor did I know that farm boys from Ohio and Indiana and someone’s sons from Maine, Tennessee and Texas were dying on Omaha Beach so that I might safely go to school and salute the flag each morning. When my father worked late at the shop to keep the war effort going—and fell down an elevator shaft, breaking his leg and an arm — I didn’t know why my mother worried so nor why dad wasn’t coming home at night. Only in my later adult years, did I begin to understand these But such movethings. ments often overI never had to shoot the mark, sacrifice like others damaging the good did.

There’s a useful purpose to having heroes, even if they were real people with human flaws rather than comicbook superheroes and fictional icons. Those faces on Mount Rushmore — yes, all old, dead white men — laid a foundation for both having and improving the best system ever devised for a group of freedom-loving people. Women and people of color should be added to our list of heroes, and we’ve made a start with Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman and Eleanor Roosevelt, among others. A recent article on Pearl Harbor brought a reply from a Navy veteran whose ship passed the site where the USS Arizona had sunk; the hull was still protruding out of the water and oil leaking to the surface. Every man on the passing ship immediately came to the deck and held a silent salute for three full minutes. Let’s honor our nation with the same reverential respect in this new year. James F.

But they played hard and did fine against a very good team.” Ohio State had 496 yards total offense and allowed 405 to Notre Dame, though 81 of that came on one pass play, an 81-yard touchdown from Kizer to Will Fuller. Ohio stretched its lead to 28-7 late in the second quarter on two more short touchdown runs by Elliott at the end of long drives before Notre Dame got to within 28-14 at halftime. The Fighting Irish scored first in the second half on a 4-yard pass from Kizer to Chris Brown to narrow the lead to 28-21 after linebacker Joe Schmidt intercepted a pass from Elliott at Notre Dame’s 42-yard line. But Ohio State had an immediate answer when Elliott went 47 yards untouched for a touchdown that made it 35-21. Notre Dame never got closer than 10 points the rest of the way. “He’s a physical back and he certainly makes his presence known,” Kelly said about Elliott. Notre Dame’s leading rusher, C.J. Prosise, did not play because of an ankle injury that has kept him out of action since Nov. 14. “He just felt like he couldn’t go,” Kelly said. But for the second game in a row, Ohio State had no trouble going where it wanted to go and doing what it wanted to do. It just came a little too late.

After dropping a 61-39 decision to Ripley Wednesday night, the Point Pleasant boys basketball team ran into a similar buzzsaw Saturday during a 72-45 setback to visiting Warren in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The host Big Blacks (2-6) dropped their second straight decision in opening the new year as the Warriors (6-2) stormed out to an 18-8 first quarter advantage and never looked back.

Manziel was excused from being at the home finale against Pittsburgh because of a concussion, but owner Jimmy Haslam said the secondyear quarterback failed to report for medical treatment for his head injury.

It’s the latest drama surrounding Manziel, who has not delivered on expectations after being drafted in the first round in 2014. According to several teammates, Manziel was in attendance for exit meetings and when Cleveland’s players were addressed Monday by Haslam and Sashi Brown, the team’s newly appointed head of football operations. Manziel did not come into the locker room to speak with reporters. “He’s his own man,” rookie defensive tackle Danny Shelton said of Manziel. “You can’t really tell him what to do.” Haslam was non-committal about Manziel’s future with the team on Sunday, deferring any of those decisions to Brown, his next coach and GM. Manziel spent 10 weeks in a rehab facility in the offseason, and while he made six starts and showed improvement this season, he was also benched two games for misbehavior.

Haslam intends to hire a coach — Cleveland’s eighth since 1999 — before getting his GM. The Browns are in the process of lining up interviews and one of the first will be with Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. Lions coach Jim Caldwell confirmed Monday that Austin will be meeting with the Browns sometime this week. Following Sunday’s game, Thomas, who has already played for five coaches since 2007, said all the change has taken a toll on him and he’s not sure he wants to stay in Cleveland. With more time to reflect, Thomas hasn’t changed his stance. “I don’t think any of that changes, really, until you put a head coach in place and put a GM here and you get kind of the direction of the franchise from those guys,” he said.

West Virginia beats Sun Devils 43-42 Meigs PHOENIX (AP) — Skyler Howard heard the boos from the home fans. He heard the talk about his inconsistencies. He heard how he wasn’t cut out to be a Big 12 quarterback. On the biggest stage of West Virginia’s season, Howard did all the talking with his arm. Howard threw for a Cactus Bowlrecord 532 yards and hit David Sills on a 15-yard pass for his fifth touchdown with 2:19 left, lifting West Virginia to a wild 43-42 win over Arizona State early Sunday. “It’s about time it fell together,” said Howard, who completed 28 of 51 passes. “We finally started clicking on offense.” The Cactus Bowl made up for its late start with an assault on the record books. The teams combined for 1,196 yards of offense and the 950 yards passing was the most in the Cactus Bowl’s 27-year history as the game crept well past midnight. West Virginia (8-5) is typically a run-oriented team but went to the air against the Sun Devils. Howard shredded Arizona State’s shoddy defensive backfield, breaking the Cactus Bowl record of 476 yards set by Washington State’s Drew Bledsoe against Utah in 1992. He also blew past the school bowl record of 429 yards passing by Marc Bulger against Missouri in Tucson in 1998. “He is gritty, he doesn’t ever give up, he continues to go. It doesn’t matter what people think and people say,” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. “He just keeps going to work every day and keeps getting better and better. I am really proud of this kid.” Tim White and Mike Bercovici did their best to keep Arizona State (6-7) in it. White broke the school record for all-purpose yards with 289, scoring two touchdowns and a blocked PAT return. Bercovici threw for 418 yards and hit Gary Chambers on a 58-yard pass for his fourth touchdown of the game to put Arizona State ahead with about 5 minutes left. A coaching decision on the point after ended up costing Arizona State. Instead of going for the 2-point conversion, like their chart says, the Sun Devils inexplicably kicked an extra point and went up 42-36. West Virginia went ahead by one on Howard’s pass to Sills and the extra point, and Arizona State turned the ball over on downs its last possession. “We were supposed to go for 2 and we didn’t,” Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. “Mismanagement there and that is my responsibility.” West Virginia was 14th nation- ally in rushing offense, thanks in large part to Wendell Smallwood. The Mountaineers clearly saw something they liked in Arizona State’s porous pass defense, though, particularly cornerback Kweishi Brown. West Virginia went at Brown early and picked on the rest of Arizona State’s secondary throughout the first quarter, gaining 191 yards on eight receptions. Trouble was, the Mountaineers couldn’t capitalize, settling for three field goals. The Mountaineers kept going at Brown, though, and Shelton Gibson blew past him for a 59-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Sun Devils took Brown out for a few plays, but West Virginia went right at him when he returned, scoring on a 10-yard pass from Howard to Daikiel Shorts. Howard, who’s career high was 359 yards, had 334 on 15-of-26 passing by halftime. “They kept throwing over the top and scoring touchdowns,” Graham said. “We blew a couple coverages and then ran by.” Arizona State’s high octane offense needed a tuneup early before finally finding a gear that worked in the second quarter, scoring on a tackle-breaking 19-yard reception by Devin Lucien. But then it failed on three tries from inside West Virginia’s 5-yard line and settled for another field goal later. 72-71 victory in doubleovertime last season when Meigs visited From Page 6 ‘The Nest’.
