Larry Tucker’s attorney ﬁled a motion to suppress in Octo- ber asking that Judge Linton Lewis, who is assigned to the case, rule that the statement was not obtained legally and therefore could not be used in the case. Tucker, who was a corrections ofﬁcer at the Middleport Jail and a probation ofﬁcer and bailiff for Meigs County Common Pleas Court, is charged in a 28-count indictment for crimes alleged against 11 victims. Charges include: six counts of Sexual Battery, third-degree felonies; six counts of Kidnapping, ﬁrst-degree felonies; ﬁve counts of Gross Sexual Three arrested following business break-in Imposition, fourth-degree felonies; ﬁve counts of Attempted Sexual Battery, fourth-degree felonies; four counts of Attempted Compelling Prostitution, fourth-degree felonies; one count of Theft in Ofﬁce, a ﬁfth-degree felony; one count of Soliciting, a third-degree misdemeanor. At a hearing on the motion in late October, Tucker’s attorney, Public Defender Kirk McVay, and Special Prosecutor Angela Canepa of the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce questioned Special Agent Jonathan Jenkins from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Spe- cial Investigation Unit, who conducted the Nov. 15, 2017, interview of Tucker. Under oath, Jenkins recalled the events of Nov. 15 when he ﬁrst interviewed Tucker regarding allegations against him. Tucker was not in custody at the time of the interview and appeared without an attorney. Jenkins said he had Tucker called to come to the sheriff’s ofﬁce where the two met in the upstairs interview room. Before going to the room, according to testimony, Tucker asked Jenkins if he needed to bring anyone with him to which Jenkins said “I don’t think so” and Tucker replied “me either.” McVay argued that Tucker repeatedly mentioned having an attorney present, although Jenkins said he felt Tucker was trying to decide if he wanted an attorney present and that Tucker never asked to wait to be questioned with an attorney present. At one point during the questioning by Jenkins, Tucker reportedly attempted to “phone a friend,” but Jenkins said Tucker never stated the friend was an attorney. See COURT | 4 Throwback Thursday: Coe’s Opera House Staff Report PAGEVILLE — Multiple individuals were arrested after a reported business break-in. Sheriff Keith Wood reports that on Dec. 30, 2018, his ofﬁce received a call from the Bale ‘N Eggs Convenience Store in Pageville stating that the business had been broken into and reported several items were taken. Deputy Rick Smith and Sgt. Frank Stewart responded to Bale ‘N Eggs and processed the scene. After Shaffer obtaining evidence and speaking with the owners of the store, deputies had developed two suspects in the breaking and entering. Deputies then received information about the whereabouts of one of the possible suspects and went to a residence on Township Road Older 1010. Deputies were granted entry into the garage of a residence by the homeowner, where they found Donald Lee Shaffer, 37, of Athens, Ohio, attempting to hide inside of a cabinet. Deputies took Shaffer into custody for the Breaking and Entering, while he was allegedly in the process of providing false identifying information to the deputies. Shaffer also had a felony warrant out of Franklin County, Ohio. Deputies then located some of the stolen property from Bale ‘N Eggs inside of the garage with Shaffer. Also arrested at the residence was Linda G. Gilmore, 47, of Albany, for Obstructing Ofﬁcial Business. The Middleport Police Department was requested to assist in transporting one of the subjects to the Middleport Jail so that deputies could go check another residence for the second suspect. Deputies then went to a residence on Pageville Road where they found Matthew Older, 30, of Albany hiding inside of a camper. Older was taken into custody after a short standoff with deputies where Older allegedly refused to exit the camper that he was living in. Older also has outstanding felony warrants out of Meigs and Athens County.

The two had a wild relationship, and Dr. Higley felt compelled to leave his children with relatives in Illinois and secretly move away. He brieﬂy practiced medicine in Indiana then found his way to Smith County, Kansas in 1871 to claim land under the Homestead Act of 1862. It was there his marriage to Mrs. McPherson dissolved by default on February 9, 1875. One month later, on March 8, 1875, he married Sarah Clemons, his ﬁnal wife. Dr. Higley was so inspired by his new rural surroundings that he decided to create a poem in praise of the Kansas prairie. Thus, the lyrics to “Home on the Range” were originally published as a poem in the Smith County Pioneer in 1872 under the title “My Western Home.” Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play; Where never is heard a discouraging word And the sky is not clouded all day. Oh, give me the gale of the Solomon vale Where life streams with buoyancy ﬂow, On the banks of the Beaver, where seldom if ever Any poisonous herbage doth grow. Oh, give me the land where the bright diamond sand Throws light from the glittering stream; Where glideth along the graceful white swan, Like a maid in her heavenly dreams. I love these wild ﬂowers in this bright land of our; I love, too, the curlew’s wild scream. The bluffs of white rocks and antelope ﬂocks That graze on the hillsides so green. How often at night, when the heavens are bright By the light of the glittering stars, Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed If their beauty exceeds this of ours. The air is so pure, the breezes so light, The zephyrs so balmy at night, I would not exchange my home here to range Forever in azure so bright. The music was later added by Daniel E. Kelley (1808–1905), a carpenter and friend of Higley. Higley’s original words are similar to those of the modern version of the song, but not identical; the original did not contain the words “on the range”. The song was eventually adopted by ranchers, cowboys, and other western settlers and spread across the United States in various forms. In 1925, the song was arranged as sheet music by Texas composer David W. Guion (1892– 1981), who occasionally was credited as the composer. It was ofﬁcially adopted as the state song of Kansas on June 30, 1947. In 2010, members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 western songs of all time.

Sutton expressed his gratitude to the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) who built the center 10 years ago in a partnership with the University of Rio Grande/ Rio Grande Community College. “This was the ﬁrst offsite location (for the college) and it has been very successful,” said Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees Chair Paul Reed, who is also a member of the CIC. The center has helped to produce successful students, while adding to the success of the business community. “The Meigs Center not only provides educational training, but has changed the culture of the community, to have higher education in the county,” said Varnadoe. Reed noted that the addition of the Rio Grande Meigs Center brings quality to the community. When businesses look to come to an area, one of the things they look for is the option for training in the county. The Meigs Center allow for Meigs County to say that it can provide the training in the county. When the center was built 10 years ago it was with accessibility in mind, said Sutton. The center is centrally located with easy access to those coming from around the county. “The importance of success is in providing access and opportunity that students would not have had 10 years ago,” said Sutton. He noted that it is nice to see alumni come back to visit, as well as seeing several graduates who are now Courtesy Small business owners can also take advantage of our Business Services Online.

Task Force turns 5 Five years ago local agencies teamed up with the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce to form the Major Crimes Task Force of Gallia and Meigs Counties in an effort to better combat the drug epidemic and other crimes in the area. While there remains work to do, the task force has made progress in the battle against drugs in the area. The Major Crimes Task Force of Gallia and Meigs Counties is made up of authorities from the Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, Gallia County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, Gallipolis Police Department, Middleport Police Department, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Gallia County Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce, and Meigs County Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce. Since its formation, the task force has opened hundreds of investigations leading to the seizure of an estimated $7,896,000 in illegal drugs, such as heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana. More than 200 people have been convicted on charges stemming from task force investigations. Task force members have served nearly 250 search warrants and seized drug proceeds in the amount of approximately $400,000 in cash. Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley noted that the task force is not about sending people to prison, but saving lives and changing lives. “It has changed their lives; it has saved their lives,” said Stanley of some of the individuals brought before the court on drug charges as a result of task force investigations. From the time the person is ﬁrst brought in to court, until they have either voluntarily or by court order completed treatment, Stanley noted Court From page 1 Given that he thought Tucker was calling a friend, Jenkins asked that he hold off on the call until after the interview, according to the agent’s testimony. Later in the interview, Tucker reportedly admitted to an allegation involving a female victim. Jenkins testiﬁed that, toward the end of the interview, Tucker made threats to harm himself rather than go to jail regarding the case, later backtracking from that statement. Jenkins said he took Tucker’s statement about harming himself seriously, and at the end of the interview, took Tucker to Major Scott Trussell’s ofﬁce to talk further about the threat of suicide. Tucker was not read his Miranda Rights prior to questioning, and was not under arrest at the time of questioning. “The defendant was told he was not under arrest and that Agent Jenkins couldn’t keep him from walking out, however; on two occasions when he stood up to leave, he was told ‘hold on Larry’ and ‘have a seat’”, writes Judge Lewis in his order granting the motion to suppress the statement. Lewis goes on to write, “Additionally, when the defendant did in fact walk out of the door, it appears from the recording that Agent Jenkins hurries behind him to stop him and he is immediately the difference is evident. Approximately 50 percent of the cases presented to the grand jury in Meigs County each month are the result of task force investigations. The Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission assists local law enforcement agencies in combating organized crime and corrupt activities through the creation of multi-jurisdictional task forces. The commission is composed of members of the law enforcement community and is chaired by the Ohio Attorney General. Harrisonville Lodge turns 150 In February, the Harrisonville Masonic Lodge marked a milestone. Members of the lodge were joined by Masons from all over the state, member of The Grand Lodge of Ohio, local ofﬁcials and community members to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the county’s third oldest lodge. State Rep. Jay Edwards and Commissioner Randy Smith were among those to present recognition certiﬁcates to the lodge as part of the celebration. In 1868 Meigs County residents J. Hendry, J.O. Clark, W.C. Hayes, J.P. Bosworth, A.P. Riggs and J.C. Golden petitioned the Grand Lodge of Ohio and was granted a charter forming Harrisonville Lodge 411. Harrisonville Lodge 411 was founded in 1868 and is one of four lodges currently active in Meigs County — Harrisonville, Shade River, Middleport and Pomeroy/Racine. Planning and Building for the Future MPAC Formed In February, the MPAC (Meigs Performing Arts Center) Foundation announces its formation as a non-proﬁt organization. The mission of the MPAC Foundation is to further the economic and cultural advancement of Meigs County and the Southeast Ohio region by raising funds for the construction of a state-ofthe-art performing arts Daily Sentinel rushed into the ofﬁce of Major Trussell where he is eventually placed under arrest.” “Based on the conﬂicting statements made by Agent Jenkins, the reasonableness of the defendant in believing he was not free to leave, the subsequent arrest upon leaving the interview room and the lack of mental exam to justify the self-harm basis for arrest, this court ﬁnds that the defendant was subjected to in custodial interrogation without beneﬁt of receiving his Miranda Rights. Regarding Tucker’s right to an attorney, Lewis states that throughout the interrogation Tucker made reference to his desire to have an attorney present with statements such as “Should I bring somebody in here with me?”; “I’ve always been told to bring your attorney in…”; “You’re not going to let me make this phone call so I can have some advice on what to do”; and “Just let me call my attorney, let him sit here with me.” “The defendant’s statements were rebuffed by Agent Jenkins such that the defendant was denied his right to counsel and his Fifth Amendment privilege to remain silent,” wrote Lewis. Regarding if the statement given by Tucker was given voluntarily, Lewis wrote, ” The burden is on the prosecution to show that, considering the totality of the circumstances, the statement was voluntarily given. … Psychological as well as physical coercion may render a confession involuntary … In the case at bar, the center, housing a proscenium stage and 460 seat auditorium, along with a community multipurpose room and catering kitchen.

Meigs County Community Foundation The Meigs County Community Fund distributed its ﬁrst grants earlier this year, while announcing the “Endow 200” campaign for future grant opportunities. Jennifer Sheets, who serves as the Meigs County Community Fund President, explained, while presenting the grants, that the group recently reorganized with the help of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio to meet a broad range of needs in the county. The goal of the fund is to allow for Meigs County people to support projects in Meigs County. The Meigs County Community Fund Family of Funds includes: The Meigs County Community Fund; Forrest Bachtel Scholarship Fund; Chester Shade Historical Association Fund; New Haven School Fund; and The Karr-Aanestad K-9 Fund. In addition to the established funds, Endow 200, Celebrating our Past, Building our Future, was launched in conjunction with Meigs County’s 200th birthday in 2019 to build an endowment for future grant opportunities in the county. The goal of Endow 200 is to have 200 gifts of $3,000 by 2022. Those gifts would build an endowment of $600,000, which would allow for $24,000 in grants to be awarded annually across the areas of arts and culture, community and economic interrogation was not for an extremely long period of time and the defendant was not deprived of food, water, sleep or other necessities of life. Nevertheless, this court ﬁnds the defendant’s statement to be involuntarily given.” “Even though the defendant was told he could contact his attorney, when he attempted to dial his attorney, he was interrupted. The defendant was also coerced by being given the unmistakable impression that if he contacted his attorney that his actions would be deemed to be uncooperative,” added Lewis. Prior to the motion to suppress hearing in October, Special Prosecutor Angela Canepa told the court of a proposed plea offer to the defendant which was rejected. Canepa explained that under the proposed plea agreement, Tucker would have pleaded guilty to four third degree felony counts of sexual battery, two fourth degree felonies and some misdemeanors with a recommendation for an eight year prison sentence. Additionally, the state would not have opposed judicial release after ﬁve years. Canepa added that the offer would not be available after the hearing. McVay stated that he had discussed the offer with Tucker who decided to reject the offer from Canepa. The case is currently scheduled for a jury trial on March 6.

Break-a-thon supports future Senior Center Hundreds of boards were broken in November as part of the second Bitanga’s Break-a-thon to beneﬁt the Meigs County Council on Aging. The event — which also included a craft show, prize drawings and more — raised a total of $18,669.55, all of which will go to the Council on Aging for the renovation of the auditorium in the agency’s future home in Middleport. “On Saturday, Nov. 3, hundreds of people came together to paint a perfect picture of the vision we all speak of. Where people of all ages had fun together and worked towards a noble cause without having to identify what makes them different from each other. In doing so they raised over $18,000,” said Bitanga’s owner Ben Nease of the event. “This kind of connectivity is an essential element that most communities around our country are in need of today. For this reason, Bitanga’s Martial Arts Center proudly continues to support the vision,” concluded the statement from Nease. In the days following the event, the total grew to more than $20,000, thanks to a challenge from local businesswoman Paige Cleek. Cleek challenged local businesses and individuals to contribute $100 each in order to bring the total over $20,000. All of the funds go to the auditorium renovation at the future home of the Meigs County Council on Aging in Middleport. Award Winning Schools Two Meigs Local Schools were recognized in 2018 for their successes. Meigs High School received a bronze in the 2018 rankings of “Best High Schools” by U.S. News and World Report, the only school in Gallia and Meigs Counties to be recognized. “It’s certainly an honor for Meigs High School to be recognized as one of the best high schools in the nation. We take great pride in serving our students and community. There are many contributors who deserve credit, such as former MHS principal Mr. Steve Ohlinger, and countless teachers and students who have made this award possible. This is the result of years of rigorous and collaborative work that our students, parents, staff and administrators have put forth making Meigs High School an outstanding place to work and pursue an education,” stated Meigs High School Principal Travis Abbott of the honor. According to the U.S. News website, the organization began by reviewing 28,813 public high schools, eliminating some based on being too small. A total of 20,548 were considered by U.S. News. Meigs Primary School was also recognized, receiving the “Overall A Award” from the State Board of Education. The State Board of Education of Ohio recently recognized 28 districts and 310 schools for earning an overall grade of “A” on the 20172018 Ohio School Report Cards. “I feel this award is a testament to the dedication and commitment of the staff at Meigs Primary. I am blessed to have a staff that comes to work every day with the mindset of fulﬁlling our students’ academic, emotional and social needs,” said Meigs Primary Principal Kristin Baer. Meigs Primary was the recipient of the Overall A Award for earning and overall grade of A on the 2017-18 school report card. The report card measures items such as student improvement, chronic absenteeism, and achievement on state testing.

The 48-year-old Detroitarea man had an account on a Russian social media site, where he posted festive notes on the coun try’s national holidays. Now, he’s under arrest there on espionage allega tions. Whelan has visited Russia since at least 2007 and was there again for a friend’s wedding, showing did not disclose any details “due to privacy consid erations for Mr. Whelan and his family.” According to what to appears to be Paul Whelan’s profile on the popular Russian social media platform VKontakte, he posted “God save Presi dent Trump” — flanked by flag emojis — on Inau guration Day in 2016. A 2010 post referred to then-President Barack Obama as a “moron.” Another photo showed Whelan wearing a T-shirt of the Moscow soccer club Spartak. In March 2014, around the time of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Whelan sug gested that “Putin can have Alaska, as long as he other guests around, said his twin brother, David Whelan.

Democrats said they asked Trump directly during Wednes day’s private meeting held in the Situation Room why he wouldn’t consider their package of bills. One measure would open most of the shut tered government departments at funding levels already agreed to by all sides. The other would provide temporary funding for Homeland Secu rity, through Feb. 8, allowing talks to continue over border security. “I said, Mr. President, Give me one good reason why you should continue your shutdown,” Senate Minority Deader Chuck Schumer said afterward. “He could not give a good answer.” r Associated Press lighter’s Club, a group of service members who got together to enjoy good cigars. “It’s one of the unique pleasures that anyone can take advantage of, as everyone should take advantage of a fine cigar once in a while,” Whelan said in a 2007 interview posted on the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing page of the Marine Corps website.

What looked like it would be a tension-free send-off for Meyer turned into a close game when Washington scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns after OSU had built a 28-3 lead after three quarters in its ﬁrst Rose Bowl trip in nine years. Dwayne Haskins, playing what many people expect to be his last college game before going to the NFL, completed 25 of 37 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns to lead OSU (13-1) over Washington (10-4). Mike Weber ran for 96 yards on 16 carries. Washington quarterback Jake Browning was 35 of 54 for 313 yards and Myles Gaskin rushed for 121 yards on 121 carries. Haskins threw three touchdown passes in the ﬁrst half to lead OSU to a 21-3. The ﬁrst came on a 12-yard pass to Haskins with 9:04 left in the ﬁrst quarter for a 7-0 lead. That score came at the end of an 11-play, 77-yard drive, which included four carries for 52 yards by Weber. Washington cut the lead to 7-3 on a 38-yard ﬁeld goal by Peyton Henry with 1:19 left in the ﬁrst quarter. OSU’s lead grew to 14-3 on Haskins’ second TD throw, a 19-yarder to Johnnie Dixon with 12:23 to play in the ﬁrst half. That drive covered 75 yards in 10 plays.

A total of six OVPbased programs took part in the ninth annual wrestling extravaganza, which featured 26 schools that represented several areas of the Buckeye State — as well as West Virginia. In fact, Point Pleasant was the only OVP program not in attendance at the event, but River Valley, South Gallia, Meigs, Eastern and Wahama all joined the host Blue Devils in stringing together some impressive efforts. Athens, however, came away with top honors as the Bulldogs posted a 19½-point victory over the ﬁeld with a ﬁnal tally of 267.5 points. River Valley — which posted a tournament-best four divisional championships — ended up as the overall runner-up with 248 points, with Akron Firestone (169) and Vinton County (161) rounding out the top four positions. Gallia Academy placed 10th overall with 132 points, while Wahama notched the remaining local title while placing Meigs senior William Smith maintains leverage on an opponent during a 182-pound match Saturday at the 2018 Skyline Bowling Invitational held at Gallia Academy High School in Centenary, Ohio. 13th overall with 104 points. Eastern (90.5), Meigs (57) and South Gallia (48) respectively ﬁnished 14th, 19th and 21st overall. The Raiders earned nine top-eight ﬁnishes, with half of those resulting in individual titles from Joseph Burns (120 pounds), Jacob Edwards (126), Will Hash (145) and Eric Weber (182) — all of whom ended the weekend with perfect 5-0 marks. Nathan Cadle (2-2) was fourth overall at 138 pounds for RVHS, while Aiden Greene (4-1) was ﬁfth at 170 pounds and Levi Roberts (2-3) was sixth at 106 pounds. Seth Bowman (138) and Derek Johnson (152) also ﬁnished seventh in their respective weight classes with matching 3-2 records. The Blue Devils landed a half-dozen top-eight ﬁnishes, with Lane Pullins leading the way with a runner-up effort of 4-1 at 182 pounds. Garytt Schwall (4-1) was third at 106 pounds, while Bronson Carter placed fourth with a 3-2 mark at 152 pounds. Brayden Easton (170) and Logan Grifﬁth (220) were both sixth with 3-2 records in their respective weight classes, while Kenton Ramsey was seventh at 113 pounds with a 2-3 mark. Antonio Serevicz won Most Outstanding Wrestler honors for the heavyweights for a second year in a row after claiming the 220-pound title for Wahama. Serevicz ended the day with a perfect 5-0 mark. Trevor Hunt ended up suffering his ﬁrst loss of the year and went 4-1 overall while ending the day as the 145-pound runner-up.

Daniel Harris was next with a 2-2 mark and a fourth place effort at 160 pounds. Ryan Ross (2-3) and Dillon Aeiker (3-2) also placed sixth for EHS in the 120- and 152-pound division, respectively. The Marauders were paced by Levi Rafferty with a 3-1 record and a ﬁfth place ﬁnish at 195 pounds, while Tucker Smith (145) and William Smith (182) respectively placed sixth and seventh with identical marks of 2-3 overall. Justin Butler led the Rebels with a 4-1 record while placing ﬁfth at 152 pounds. Chad Bostic was also 2-2 at 170 pounds while ﬁnishing seventh.

Whoever gets the job will inherit a roster on the cusp of signiﬁcant change. Brown parted ways with head coach Marvin Lewis on Monday after 16 seasons without a playoff win. Lewis’ stay in Cincinnati — the secondlongest active tenure behind New England’s Bill Belichick — demonstrated how much the owner would rather stick with what’s comfortable than leave his comfort zone and try someone new. “It will be interesting to see,” linebacker Nick Vigil said. “We haven’t had change around here in 16 years.” The question is how much change Brown will tolerate. He has a history of accepting as little change and as much continuity as possible. He elevated Dave Shula from the staff to head coach in 1992, Bruce Coslet in 1996, and Dick LeBeau in 2000, all the while failing to get an elusive playoff berth. He went against his history by hiring Lewis in 2003, and he got a playoff appearance only two years later — a lesson in how major change can work. The two formed a close bond that was integral to Lewis’ 16-year tenure despite an 0-7 mark in the playoffs, the worst in NFL history. Brown has several options for his next coach that could ﬁt his comfort zone. For instance, he’s familiar with Hue Jackson, who spent eight years on Lewis’ staff in a variety of roles — receivers coach, defensive backs coach, running backs coach, offensive coordinator and special assistant on defense. The Bengals quickly rehired Jackson when the Browns ﬁred him after he won only three games in twoplus years. Cleveland had a resurgence when Jackson left, winning ﬁve of its last seven games, including both against Cincinnati. Hiring Jackson would send a message to fans that the franchise won’t change all that much. Cara Owsley | The Cincinnati Enquirer via AP Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis speaks at a news conference at Paul Brown Stadium on Monday in Cincinnati. The Bengals fired Lewis, ending a 16-year stay in Cincinnati that included a club-record five straight playoff appearances without a win. Brown also is familiar with Vance Joseph, who was ﬁred Monday by the Broncos . Joseph was the defensive backs coach in Cincinnati from 201415. Brown also could consider someone off the current staff, although that again would reinforce the message that not much change is in the works. Perhaps Brown will try to bring in someone from a winning organization, as he did with Lewis, hoping that jump- Buckeyes From page 6 half made it 21-3 at halftime. A 3-yard touchdown run by J.K. Dobbins at the 8:23 mark of the third quarter gave Ohio State a 28-3 lead. But then Washington’s offense came alive, or maybe OSU thought it could ﬁnish the game on cruise control. Gaskin’s 2-yard touchdown run with 42 seconds to play cut the lead to 28-23 and the Huskies went for a two-point conversion, but Browning’s pass was intercepted by Brendon White, who had eight tackles, two tackles for losses and was named the Defensive Player of the Game. The Huskies then attempted an onside kick but Johnny Dixon recovered it and OSU ran out the clock. “Washington played great,” Ohio Jae C. Hong | AP Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, right, celebrates with quarterback Dwayne Haskins after Ohio State defeated Washington 28-23 in the Rose Bowl on Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif. Meyer is retiring from coaching after going 83-9 at Ohio State with one national championship, three Big Ten titles and this Rose Bowl victory. State coach Urban Meyer said. “What an up and down year but when we needed them (OSU’s players) most, they gave us their very best.” Browning said Washington never gave up. “On the sideline we were saying, ‘Keep swinging, keep after it.’ We’re never out of it.” (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN starts ticket sales. The Bengals’ attendance has fallen each of the past three years and ranks second-to-last in the league. In any case, change is coming. “It’s pretty weird to know you have a new (defensive) coordinator, a new head coach, everybody,” linebacker Preston Brown said. “You never know what could happen around here.” The roster turnover could Even after the game Meyer deﬂected talk of what his emotions were in his ﬁnal game at Ohio State. Asked if walking off the ﬁeld Tuesday was different than all the other games he coached at Ohio State, he said, “Sure. I would have been on the phone recruiting the last half of the walk. And right now I’d be putting pencils to paper about who’s coming back, who’s not coming back, what do we do at left tackle, what do we do about this or that. Now the new guy has to worry about that. “Now I get a chance to reﬂect and you do that with your family and people who are close to you,” he said. Wide receiver Parris Campbell, who broke David Boston’s OSU record for most catches in a season in the game, said, “Coach Meyer does a great job of hiding his emotions.

Lewis had the youngest team in his 16 seasons. Veterans got hurt early, forcing players into roles before they were ready. Cincinnati was among the hardest-hit teams in the league, with 18 players on injured reserve by season’s end, including quarterback Andy Dalton and receiver A.J. Green. Dalton and Green are entering their ninth seasons. They led the Bengals to a club-record ﬁve straight playoff appearances from 2011-15, but they lost in the ﬁrst round each time. Their chances for a playoff run are starting to run out. The defense has been led by linebacker Vontaze Burﬁct for the past seven years, but he may have reached the end of the line. He opened the season with yet another suspension from the league and played in only seven games because of concussions and a chronic hip problem. Burﬁct ﬁnished with only 33 tackles and no sacks. Cincinnati fell to the bottom of the AFC North for only the second time under Lewis, and it’ll be a challenge to escape the basement in the near future.

All that’s missing is someone to keep them together. A day after Cleveland ended a promising turnaround season following a winless 2017, general manager John Dorsey said he will interview interim coach Gregg Williams and offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens in his search for the Browns’ ninth full-time coach since 1999. Dorsey’s pursuit will start internally and quickly expand. “Why not go and look at everybody?” Dorsey said Monday. For once, the Browns can be picky. Their coaching vacancy is more attractive than it’s been in the past. With cornerstone players like quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld, Pro Bowl defensive end Myles Garrett and wide receiver Jarvis Landry in addition to highly touted rookies Nick Chubb and Denzel Ward, an abundance of salary-cap space, 11 draft picks in 2019 and deeply committed owners, Cleveland is a coveted job. The Browns have gone from appalling to appealing. “There is a bright future with this organization,” Dorsey said. “Hopefully, they can see what we see here.” Dorsey isn’t disclosing which candidates he’ll interview, but the team has requested permission to speak with Minnesota offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, New Orleans tight ends coach Dan Campbell, New England linebackers coach Brian Flores and two Indianapolis assistants in offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni and defensive coordinator Matt Eberﬂus, according to multiple reports. Former Packers coach Mike McCarthy is also expected to draw interest from the Browns. He and Dorsey worked together for seven years in Green Bay. “I have a lot of respect for Mike McCarthy and for what he’s done,” Dorsey said. Miami’s ﬁring of Adam Gase after three seasons could push him onto Dorsey’s radar. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has pursued Gase in the past as well as Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Dorsey has his list — and a checklist. “A guy who can instill leadership into these young men,” he said. “A guy who is a collaborative thinker. A guy who is a continuous learner. A guy who is consistent on a day-in and day-out basis and who those players can look up to and go, ‘You know what? I will follow that guy anywhere.’” Dorsey promised to provide updates once interviews are completed. Williams is up ﬁrst. He’ll meet Tuesday with Dorsey, who is impressed with the job the 60-year-old did in leading the Browns to a 5-3 record after replacing Hue Jackson in late October. The club’s ﬁery defensive coordinator the past two seasons, Williams demanded accountability while keeping the Browns focused and ﬁghting. “He’s kind of got these guys believing,” Dorsey said. “He’s brought them in together as one. He’s got them playing hard, that’s all you can ask for.” During his interviews, Dorsey said he wants to know how Williams — and others — see the Browns long-term. “I want to see his overarch- ing vision and plan for this organization moving forward,” he said. “I want to hear his thoughts on the team moving forward, but I also want to be able to explore multiple options out there in the National Football League and just see who ﬁts.” Beyond his accomplishments over the past two months, Williams has head coaching experience — and some baggage. He was Buffalo’s coach from 2001-03, but he may be best remembered for his involvement in the New Orleans’ “Bountygate” scandal. The NFL suspended Williams for the 2012 season. Dorsey wants a “man of character” to be Cleveland’s next coach, and feels Williams has served any warranted punishment for previous sins. “I think he’s paid his penalty for that,” Dorsey said. Pastrnak, Bruins beat Blackhawks 4-2 Snell runs wild, No. SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — David Pastrnak delivered once again. Patrice Bergeron showed off his all-around game, and Tuukka Rask made a couple of big stops. Oh, and those suits, too. It was stylish start to the new year for the Boston Bruins. Pastrnak had a goal and an assist, Rask made 36 saves and the Bruins beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 on Tuesday in the Winter Classic at Notre Dame. “You want to win those games when you’re on the big stage like that,” Bergeron said. “I know it’s a regular-season game, but still you know the meaning’s different when you’re playing in front of 76,000 people and on national TV. So we know what’s at stake with those games and we want to make the most of it.” They certainly dressed for the occasion. Bergeron and company wore tailored suits, vests and hats to the game in a nod to their surroundings and “Peaky Blinders,” a TV show about a gang in England right after World War I. Rask also had Notre Dame’s iconic “Play Like A Champion Today” sign painted on the back of his helmet. “I think these are the experiences that once you are done with the hockey career you can look back and like be happy that you were a part of and kind of cherish those moments,” Rask said. Bergeron, Sean Kuraly and Brad Marchand also scored as Boston won for the second time in three appearances in the NHL’s annual outdoor game on New Year’s Day. The Bruins went 2 for 5 with the man advantage and killed off each of the Blackhawks’ four power plays. The game was tied at 2 when Boston (22-144) caught a break in the third period — a little luck at the home of the Fighting Irish. Matt Grzelcyk’s big slap shot went off teammate Chris Wagner in front, but Kuraly beat Blackhawks defenseman Gustav Forsling to the rebound and backhanded the puck past Cam Ward at 10:20. “Big goal,” coach Bruce Cassidy said. Backed by most of the sellout crowd of 76,126 in perfect conditions for outdoor hockey — the game-time temperature was 35.5 degrees, and a 16 Kentucky holds off No. 13 Penn State ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Winning 10 games, beating Penn State on New Year’s Day, and ﬁnishing in the Top 20 is no small deal for the Kentucky Wildcats. So when Mark Stoops took a seat on the podium ﬂanked by linebacker Josh Allen and running back Benny Snell Jr. after Tuesday’s 27-24 victory in the Citrus Bowl, the coach understandably was beyond excited. “It was extremely important to this team, to all of us, to come home with some hardware, to come home with a trophy,” Stoops said. Snell ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns to become Kentucky’s career rushing leader and helped the 16th-ranked Wildcats end their best season in more than four decades on a winning note. “There’s no question that these guys changed the culture,” Stoops said. “They’ve done so much and meant so much to this team and this program that it was very important to ﬁnish, to collect the trophy, win 10 games and win a game on New Year’s Day. Believe me, we had a great belief that we didn’t have to do anything special (to win), just be us.” Snell scored on runs of 2 and 12 yards in the second half, then carried for a couple of crucial ﬁrst downs to help Kentucky (10-3) run out the clock after Penn State’s Trace McSorley trimmed a 27-7 deﬁcit to three points despite playing with a foot injury. Nam Y. Huh | AP A general view of Notre Dame Stadium is seen in the second period of the NHL Winter Classic hockey game between the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday in South Bend, Ind. The Bruins won 4-2, Boston’s second win in three appearances in the NHL’s annual outdoor game on New Year’s Day. gray, overcast sky took the sun out of the equation — Chicago pushed hard for the tying score in the closing minutes, but came up empty. Jonathan Toews sent a shot off the post after the Blackhawks pulled Ward for an extra attacker with about 1:30 left. Marchand then added an empty-netter for his 13th of the season. “We had a little lull there in the third and ended up going down,” Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton said. “It’s hard when we were chasing them from then on. Disappointing that we did enough and probably deserved more.” Chicago (15-21-6) had won ﬁve of six, but it remained winless in an NHL-high fourth appearance in the Winter Classic. It also dropped to 1-5 in six outdoor games — also tops in the league. Brendan Perlini and Dominik Kahun scored for the Blackhawks, and Ward made 32 stops in his ﬁrst outdoor NHL game. “Just an unbelievable experience,” Ward said. “I’m really thankful I got the opportunity to do it and you’re just disappointed that you don’t come away with the win.” Chicago jumped in front when it scored ﬁrst for the sixth straight game. David Kampf dug the puck out from behind the net and found a wide-open Perlini in the slot 8:30 into the ﬁrst. Pastrnak responded with his team-best 24th goal. With Artem Anisimov in the penalty box for tripping, Pastrnak got free in front and slid the puck past Ward at 12:38. He then celebrated by ﬂapping his arms like a bird. The teams exchanged goals again in the second. Kahun scored his ﬁfth of the season when he redirected Erik Gustafsson’s shot by Rask, but Bergeron broke up a potential short-handed breakaway for Kampf before tying it at 2 when he scored another power-play goal with 1:12 left in the period. “He never quits, and that’s why he’s Patrice Bergeron,” Cassidy said.

TV14 Knight �SPORTS 10 Thursday, January 3, 2019 Daily Sentinel Steelers rue missed opportunities during uneven 2018 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger didn’t want to get into hypotheticals. Maybe because doing so would only make the Pittsburgh Steelers’ painful late swoon all the more painful. “Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve,” Roethlisberger said after Pittsburgh’s season ended a half-game shy of a ﬁfth straight postseason berth. “I can sit here and say ‘Yeah, we’d be dangerous in the playoffs.’ But we didn’t make it, so it doesn’t matter.” Roethlisberger’s tone was a mixture of pragmatism and disappointment with a dash of resolve. As difﬁcult and occasionally weird as 2018 was — from the season-long absence of running back Le’Veon Bell to the occasionally erratic behavior by star wide receiver Antonio Brown to a series of losses in November and December in which the Steelers let secondhalf leads slip away — the longtime quarterback remains adamant the Steelers are on the right path. “Anytime you can kind of keep that core group, keep people together, the less turnover the better usually,” Roethlisberger said. “So, from the top down I think that is important.” Maybe, but there is bound to be some level of change over the next few months as a team that featured the NFL’s passing leader and six Pro Bowlers tries to reconcile all that talent with an inability to lock up a third consecutive AFC North title. Offensive line coach Mike Munchak could be a hot property for one of the head coaching vacancies. Defensive coordinator Keith Butler’s unit tied for the league lead with 52 sacks but produced just 15 turnovers, third-fewest in the NFL. The special teams were erratic, penalty-riddled and largely ineffective under Danny Smith. And still the Steelers appeared to be in good shape after a six-game midseason winning streak pushed them to 7-2-1 by Thanksgiving. Four losses over the ﬁnal six weeks followed, each setback coming in a game Pittsburgh led after halftime. “There were plenty of opportunities to be made and we didn’t capitalize on them,” defensive end Cam Heyward said. Four turnovers in Denver , the last a pick in the end zone by Roethlisberger. A slow, methodical meltdown over the ﬁnal 30 minutes against the Los Angeles Chargers, when the Steelers lost a 16-point home lead for the ﬁrst time in franchise history. Another in an increasingly long line of pratfalls in Oakland, this one coming when the Raiders went the length of the ﬁeld twice in the fourth quarter . A wrenching 31-28 setback in New Orleans two days before Christmas that featured a couple of questionable calls against cornerback Joe Haden and a gutsy but ill-fated fake punt attempt in the ﬁnal minutes that came up a half-yard short of a ﬁrst down. “I don’t know what the problem is,” guard David DeCastro said. “Football is an honest sport. That’s why I love the game. It’s honest. It lets you know exactly how it feels about you, what you get in and what you get out. The record is what it is.” And what does 9-6-1 mean? “Wasn’t good enough, that’s for sure,” DeCastro said. The issue, Heyward insisted, wasn’t coaching or the steady trickle of off-the-ﬁeld headlines, be it Bell’s refusal to sign his $14.4 million franchise tender or Brown’s series of missteps. The only player in NFL history with six straight 100-catch seasons suggested he wouldn’t mind getting traded after a former team employee tweaked him on Twitter and threatened to harm a reporter who attempted to do an in-depth piece on Brown’s personal life. The drama continued into the ﬁnal week. Multiple reports on Monday — citing sources — said Brown sat out Sunday’s 16-13 win over Cincinnati as punishment for skipping meetings and getting into a heated disagreement with a teammate. “There’s plenty of circuses that go around and everybody likes to make a big deal about my team,” Heyward said. “But you know, that doesn’t mean we shy away from it. When we were winning, (the questions were) ‘How do you guys keep doing it with the wins?’ I don’t really follow that as something that deters me or distracts me. Everybody in this locker room wants to win. When we don’t win, it hurts us bad.” Pittsburgh did win — extending its streak of nonlosing seasons to 15 — just not when it absolutely mattered. A play here or there and the Steelers are in the postseason and a threat to play into February. Instead, a year that got off to a weird start with the offensive line publicly venting about Bell opting not to end his standoff with the team ahead of Week 1 followed immediately by a six-turnover tie in Cleveland and never really seemed to get to some semblance of “normal” ended with Pittsburgh watching the videoboard at Heinz Field hoping Cleveland could knock off Baltimore. It was strange, momentarily exhilarating and ultimately futile. LSU knocks off UCF 40-32 in Fiesta Bowl GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Joe Burrow watched the ball land in an opposing player’s hands and immediately gave chase. Locked in on preventing a pick six, LSU’s quarterback didn’t see Joey Connors, Central Florida’s 313-pound defensive lineman, bearing down on him. With a thunderous, blindside collision , Burrow found himself ﬂat on his back, woozy and wondering what happened. Minutes later, after being helped to his feet, Burrow was back on the ﬁeld, hitting receivers all over the ﬁeld. The nation’s longest winning streak was over. So was a second selfproclaimed national championship. The LSU Tigers were Fiesta Bowl champions, thanks to their gritty junior quarterback. Burrow shook off the big early hit to throw for 394 yards and four touchdowns, helping No. 11 LSU end No. 7 UCF’s 25-game winning streak with a 40-32 victory in the Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday. “I didn’t really think about the hit too much after it happened,” said Burrow, who had a cut on his neck from the hit. “It hurt for a second, I got right up and went on to the next play.” LSU (10-3, No. 11 CFP) started its ﬁrst Fiesta Bowl without several key players on defense and fell into an early 11-point hole against the high-scoring Knights (12-1, No. 8 CFP).

Taj McGowan scored on a 2-yard run and the Knights converted a 2-point conversion to pull UCF to within 40-32. After LSU recovered the onside kick, the Knights’ last-ditch attempt ﬁnished with a tipped interception, ending a run that started after a loss in the 2016 Cure Bowl. “Obviously, everyone in the locker room is really upset,” UCF defensive lineman Mason Colubiale. “We haven’t lost a game since 2016.” UCF declared itself national champions after ﬁnishing as the only undefeated FBS team a year ago. The Knights earned another shot at an undefeated season by staging a massive rally to beat Memphis in the American Athletic Conference title game. But just like last year, UCF was on the outside looking in when the College Football Playoff ﬁnal four was announced, adding to the bouldersized chip on its shoulder and only a self-awarded national title in its reach. The Speedy Knights got the Fiesta Bowl off to a fast start, going up 14-3 on Greg McCrae’s 25-yard TD run and Brandon Moore’s 93-yard interception return. The Tigers roared back behind Burrow and their disruptive defensive front. Burrow shook off the big hit on the pick six, ﬁnding Jefferson on a pair of scoring passes and a 49-yard TD to Derrick Dillon. UCF sputtered offensively after its opening drive, but Mack hit Gabriel Davis on a 32-yard pass in the closing seconds to pull UCF to within 24-21 at halftime. Trevor Collens | AP Roger Federer of Switzerland returns the ball to Serena Williams of the United States during their mixed doubles match at the Hopman Cup in Perth, Australia, on Tuesday. Federer and partner Belinda Bencic defeated Williams and Frances Tiafoe as Switzerland beat the U.S. 2-1. Federer on winning team after facing Serena for 1st time PERTH, Australia (AP) — Roger Federer won the bragging rights over fellow tennis great Serena Williams as they faced each other on court for the ﬁrst time on Tuesday, with Federer spearheading Switzerland’s 4-2, 4-3 (3) victory over the United States in a mixed doubles decider at the Hopman Cup. “I was nervous returning (Williams’ serve). People talk about her serve so much and I see why it is such a wonderful serve because you just can’t read it,” Federer said. “It was great fun. You see how determined and focused she is, and I love that about her.” Federer and playing partner Belinda Bencic overcame Williams and Frances Tiafoe in the Fast4 format as Switzerland beat the U.S. 2-1 in front of a 14,000 capacity crowd. Federer and Williams shared a good-natured interview afterward and then engaged in a selﬁe. “It was so fun. This is super cool that we get to do it at such a pinnacle point of our careers,” Williams said. “I was so excited, and literally it was the match of my career. Just playing someone so great, and someone you admire so much, and a match that actually means something.” Federer and Williams, both 37, have won 43 Grand Slam singles titles between them. Defending champion Switzerland will qualify for Saturday’s ﬁnal if it beats Greece on Thursday in Group B. The United States, which lost to Greece on Monday, can’t now advance. The much-hyped contest quickly lived up to its billing with Federer almost running down Williams’ smash into the open court. Williams and Federer served strongly and were unable to return any of each other’s serves in the ﬁrst set. Federer’s sublime touch at the net proved decisive as he moved closer to a record third Hopman Cup title. Williams grabbed at her right shoulder on several occasions late in the second set but played down any injury concern. “It was such a quick turnaround, I didn’t have enough time to reload the cannon. It’s totally normal,” she said. Earlier, Federer beat Tiafoe 6-4, 6-1 in the men’s singles before Williams’ 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Bencic. Williams started fast in the women’s singles against Bencic — with an early break to storm to a 3-0 lead — before an error-strewn performance ensued as Bencic recovered to win the opener. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
