No Shave November benefits Shop with a Cop By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — You may notice deputies in Meigs County sporting a little — or a lot — more facial hair than normal during the month of November, but it is all for a good cause. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood explained that each year his ofﬁce participates in the Shop with a Cop program and each year the program is a little short on funds. Therefore, the deputies are participating in No Shave November as long as they receive sponsorships which go toward the program. To date more than $2,000 has been raised. Funds for the program also come from the “Loyalty is Forever” account set up through Farmers Bank. Fundraisers and donations go into the account for special projects like shop with a cop. Wood explained that the Shop with a Cop program provides area children who are selected for the program an opportunity to spend time with law enforcement, shopping for a few items and eating at a local restaurant. A fundraiser for the Loyalty is Forever account was recently held at Farmers Bank in Tuppers Plains which raised more than $400 for the account. The annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Thirty-One and Basket Games will take place on Dec. 1, raising funds for Loyalty is Forever. This is the third year for the games which are held at the Syracuse Community Center beginning at 6 p.m. on Dec. 1. Doors open at 5 p.m., with homemade concessions available. Proceeds for Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. Once again Randy Smith, Meigs County Commissioner, will volunteer as Bingo Caller. Those in attendance can also enter the Ugly Christmas Sweater contest upon entry for a chance to win more prizes. Early bird tickets can be purchased at Farmers Bank in Pomeroy or Tuppers Plains. Sponsorships for No Shave November can be made through the end of November at the sheriff’s ofﬁce or by seeing one of the participating deputies.

TDSnews@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS — The Meigs Local Board of Education approved several agenda items during its recent meeting held in Columbus. The meeting was moved from its original date and location due to board members attending the state conference in Columbus. The board approved a resolution to authorize the sale at public auction of real property owned by the board in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 3313.41. According to Treasurer Roy Johnson, the district received the property from the county for delinquent property taxes.A sheriff sale had been held on the prop- erty a couple years ago and it did not reach an acceptable bid level.

Former death row inmate appeals again, seeking to sue Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A former inmate who spent years on death row for a double murder he didn’t commit asked the Ohio Supreme Court to rule for a second time that he can continue suing the state for wrongful imprisonment. The high court kept alive Dale Johnston’s decades-long ﬁght for innocence when it ruled last year that a law updating Ohio’s deﬁnition of a wrongfully imprisoned individual could be applied retroactively. But a Franklin County appeals court over the summer concluded Johnston can’t sue, based on a ruling in a different wrongful-imprisonment case. In that case, the appeals court found that errors must have happened after sentencing or imprisonment for an innocence claim to be pursued. The prosecutorial misconduct and wrongful withholding of evidence in Johnston’s case happened during his trial. The 82-year-old Grove City man ﬁled his latest appeal last week alleging the appeals court misapplied the law, The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit. ly/2fjIPbz ) reported Friday. Johnston was imprisoned for the grisly 1982 slayings of his 18-year-old stepdaughter, Annette Cooper, and her 19-year-old boyfriend, Todd Schultz. Both were shot and their bodies were dismembered. The heads and limbs were buried in a cornﬁeld. Their torsos were tossed into a river. Chester McKnight confessed in 2008 and received a life sentence.

Republican Sen. Peggy Lehner, of Kettering, refuted claims detailed in a series of articles in the blog 3rd Rail Politics. She responded to the claims in a letter to legislative colleagues. The articles allege a relationship between the nonpartisan Fordham Institute and Lehner’s sister, Kate Walsh. The posts suggested the alleged tie has given Fordham undue policy inﬂuence, including over legislation rewriting Ohio’s charter school laws and affecting com- peting charter school sponsors. “Senator Peggy Lehner and Fordham Foundation seem to be on the same page. literally,” 3rd Rail’s Connor Brown blogged on Nov. 3. “Not only are they ideologically aligned, but they often appear in the same news stories ‘singing from the same hymnbook,’ as Grandpa would say.” Brown suggested Walsh’s tie to the think tank was “likely a better explanation” for Fordham’s Statehouse inﬂuence than ideology. Lehner, who chairs the Senate Education Committee, called such claims “baseless and scurrilous attacks” intended to mute her voice in ﬁghting to crack down on bad actors in the charter school industry. “It’s a form of intimidation, frankly,” she said in an interview. “It’s harassment more than anything else to push me out of the discussion.” Lehner also sent her email to the founder and lobbyist for the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow, Ohio’s largest online charter school. She said she suspects the school is behind the attacks, which both the blog and the school said Monday is not true. Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow has been ﬁghting the state in court over how it tallies enrollment ﬁgures used in doling out state aid. Neil Clark, a lobbyist for the charter school, said he has nothing to do with 3rd Rail Politics. “If I want to attack someone, I hit them straight up. I don’t hide it,” he said. In a return letter to Lehner, 3rd Rail Editor-in-chief Cyndy Rees said the blog is funded by a Cleveland businessman increasingly disappointed in mainstream media coverage of the Statehouse. She did not name the investor. “It is curious you would characterize 3rd Rail’s bringing some much-needed transparency to these issues as ‘harassment,’” Rees wrote. “While it may be more convenient for you, your sister, and her funders at Fordham to work quietly behind the scenes on education policy, we believe Ohioans have a right to know your connections to an individual school sponsor who may beneﬁt from state legislation.” Lehner said her sister doesn’t work for Fordham, but holds a full-time position as president of the National Council on Teacher Quality. She said Walsh wrote two reports for Fordham nearly a decade ago as an outside contractor. The blog reported that Walsh’s name appeared on Fordham’s website under “staff.” A message was left with Fordham seeking comment. The senator said she didn’t consult with her sister on charter reform legislation. She also refuted the blog’s suggestion that she’s angling for a job at Fordham when she leaves the Senate in four years. Trump’s vow to bring back coal gives hope Judge orders return of tigers, other seized exotic animals TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A county judge ordered state ofﬁcials on Monday to return six tigers, a bear and three other big cats to a roadside sanctuary where they lived when they were seized nearly two years ago amid a crackdown on keeping exotic creatures. The ruling said the Ohio Department of Agriculture unfairly denied a permit to the sanctuary’s owner who ﬁrst began taking in abused and unwanted animals during mid1970s. The state will appeal the ruling and attempt to stop the animals from being returned until the appeal plays out in court, said Mark Bruce, a department spokesman. Kenny Hetrick and his supporters have been ﬁghting for custody of the animals since the state took them in January 2015 after saying he ignored warnings about needing a permit and that his cages weren’t secure enough to stop an escape. The state hauled away the animals and eventually shipped them to sanctuaries out of state — where they’re still housed — under a new law that came about after a man in eastern Ohio released dozens of his exotic animals before killing himself in 2011. Hetrick, who lives just south of Toledo, argued he was treated differently than other owners who got extra time to complete their applications and get permits without losing their exotic animals. The agriculture department said Hetrick’s situation was different and that he didn’t submit a completed permit application until months after the deadline. Wood County Judge Reeve Kelsey agreed with Hetrick, ruling Monday that the state treated Hetrick with “an evil eye and an unequal hand.” The judge told the state to issue Hetrick a permit for this year and allow him to reapply for a renewed permit for 2017. The department of agriculture, which has oversight of exotic animals, said its director has the discretion to deny permits and court decisions have backed up his authority. The state said in October that 162 animals have been seized or voluntarily surrendered to the agriculture department and temporarily housed in its holding facility just outside of Columbus since permits were ﬁrst required in 2014. Hetrick, who doesn’t have formal training with wild animals, said his collection grew when others dropped off unwanted pets. He became an animal educator, inviting scout troops and families to see the tigers, bears and leopards he housed in a maze of steel cages next to his home. WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (AP) — The hard-eyed view along the Tug Fork River in West Virginia coal country is that President-elect Donald Trump has something to prove: that he’ll help bring back Appalachian mining, as he promised time and again on the campaign trail. Nobody thinks he can revive it entirely — not economists, not ex-miners, not even those recently called back to work. But for the first time in years, coal towns are seeing a commodity that had grown scarcer than the coal trains that used to rumble through around the clock: hope. Around here that hope is measured. Still, most voters saw Trump as the only choice for president. He vowed to undo looming federal rules and said President Barack Obama had been “ridiculous” to the industry. Trump told miners in Charleston: “We’re going to take care of years of horrible abuse. I guarantee it.” West Virginians went all in, backing Trump and electing a coal mine-owning billionaire, Democrat Jim Justice, as governor. But a lot of people had gone under already. “Lost my home, vehicle, everything,” said Roger Prater. Wearing the miner’s telltale blue pants with reflective strips on the legs, Prater would be heading underground that night. He’d been laid off for 20 months but now benefits from a small hiring surge that started before the election. At 31, Prater said he can get everything back, but he’s uncertain for how long. “In Trump’s term, I feel we’ll do good, but after that who’s to say?” he said. That skepticism is supported by industry analysts, who say any recovery won’t be centered in the eastern coalfields of Kentucky and West Virginia and will never bring U.S. coal back to what it once was. Last year, the nation had about 66,000 coal mining jobs — the lowest since the U.S. Energy Information Administration began counting in 1978. That’s down 20,000 since a high point in 2008, and preliminary data show 10,000 more lost this year. Mines out west stand to gain the most under Trump because of the huge reserves beneath public lands in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Utah. At the Wolf Mountain Coal company near Decker, Montana, superintendent Dave Bettcher said he’s been praying Trump can do just that. Wolf Mountain gets coal from the nearby Spring Creek strip mine, where operator Cloud Peak Energy has cut workforce and production. Wolf Mountain’s 20 workers still have jobs, but Bettcher said eight years of anti-coal leadership in Washington have left the industry in peril. “I believe in the guy,” Bettcher said of Trump as a conveyor belt dumped coal into a truck bound for North Dakota. “If he can hold up his end, he’s going to help a lot of people.” In January, the Obama administration — prompted in part by concerns about climate change — imposed a moratorium on new lease sales pending a threeyear review of the federal coal program. Trump has vowed to rescind the moratorium, which could open huge coal reserves. Burning them would unleash an estimated 3.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide — equivalent to a year’s worth of emissions from 700 million cars, according to Environmental Protection Agency calculations. But Trump has promised, too, to roll back Obama’s Clean Power Plan, emis- sions restrictions that would make it more expensive for utilities to use the fuel. Such proposals would “level the playing field for coal,” allowing it to better compete with natural gas and renewable energies, said coal analyst Andy Roberts with the firm Wood Mackenzie. Yet industry executives expect that pressure to reduce carbon dioxide emissions will continue. “It can’t just be, ‘We’re going to get rid of these regulations, and you guys can party until the next administration comes,’” Cloud Peak Energy Vice President Richard Reavey said. “There are serious global concerns about climate emissions. We have to recognize that’s a political reality and work within that framework.” Owners of more than 200 coal plants, almost half the nation’s total, plan to retire the facilities by 2025, said Mary Ann Hitt, director of the Sierra Club’s anti-coal campaign. That trend is unlikely to be reversed, she said, with wind and solar power becoming more cost effective and natural gas offering a cheap alternative. But Hitt said environmentalists would be naive to think they’ve won. “The coal industry is going to have friends in high places,” she said. In West Virginia, Justice reopened four of his mines this month, saying they’ll provide 375 jobs, before being elected governor. They produce metallurgical coal for making steel; its price has risen sharply with lower Chinese production. Justice acknowledged during campaigning that the coal business is tough — mining jobs in the state fell to about 15,000 last year, with 7,000 gone since 2008 — but said he believes it will help power the U.S. economy and West Virginia’s future. “You’re going to see more miners go back to work in West Virginia to some level,” he said. On Saturday, Justice said he and Trump talked for 15 minutes about efforts to put miners back to work. He didn’t disclose specifics. For now, Williamson resembles the small Rust Belt cities of the North after factories closed, leaving empty storefronts and sidewalks. On a recent afternoon, a young man stood on the city bridge over the Tug Fork, which mostly separates southern West Virginia from Kentucky, holding a sign asking for help. Greg Blankenship from Pike County, Kentucky, across the river, lost his $50,000-a-year mining job in 2009 and got a lower-paying county job months later. His father made a good living as a miner and raised three kids. At 44, Blankenship hopes Trump’s election means he’ll be able to go back but says he knows “the president can’t do everything.” He’s right: Trump won’t control the economics of low natural gas prices or slow global growth, two big factors hurting coal demand, said John Deskins, director of the West Virginia University Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Trump will have some control over environmental regulation, but it’s not clear how much. Gary Chapman, 25, has worked right along for almost eight years, surviving seven layoffs, though he’d been down to four shifts a week. He returned to five or six shifts, including overtime, days before the election. “I believe they’ll bring a lot of it back,” he said. “Do I believe it will be what it used to be? No. It’ll never be that again.” US Supreme Court could hear Charleston company, Lexmark case ly/2g8X7cC ). At issue is what is known as the ﬁrst-sale doctrine, a principle limiting a patent holder’s rights after a product has been sold once. Impression Products argued Lexmark’s patents on its cartridges are no longer effective after the cartridges are sold, allowing the smaller company to sell them freely. Lexmark cartridges can cost up to hundreds of dollars, and Impression Products sells used ones at a lower price. In February, a fed- eral court sided with Lexmark, saying the corporation’s patent rights weren’t exhausted, regardless of whether the cartridges were being purchased from U.S. or foreign suppliers — Impression Products has purchased toner cartridges from Canadian suppliers in the past. Last month, the federal government recommended the Supreme Court review the case. Impression Products President Eric Smith explained that while this doesn’t guarantee that the justices will review the case, it sharply increases the probability of it happening. The implications of the case go beyond ink cartridges, as Samsung and Google have backed Impression Products’ argument. The tech giants operate foreign supply chains that would have to jump through additional hoops if the ﬁrst-sale doctrine did not apply for foreign purchases. Pharmaceutical companies such as Pﬁzer have supported Lexmark, with a Lexmark victory likely giving their own patents greater protection. “I think this is a very important case, and it affects everybody,” Smith said. “It just so happens that a small West Virginia company was caught in the middle of it.” Lexmark didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Under each new administration, tribal nations must renew the battle to ensure their sovereignty and protect their rights to health care, education and employment. Whether the new president is Democrat or Republican, tribes must routinely remind Washington that these protections and provisions are based on treaties ratiﬁed by the U.S. Congress. The hope is that this struggle for our rights will not be in vain. Other entities beyond Washington seek to undermine the ability of tribes to protect their homelands. In the past year, the ﬁght against a corporate oil pipeline that threatens sacred lands and drinking water of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota has escalated. It is an uphill battle against multinational corporate exploitation, but the Standing Rock community is grateful for the support of other tribes and non-native people who share a concern about preserving the environment. You might think the pressures of intergenerational poverty, the highest unemployment rates in the country and the highest rates of suicide among native youth in the nation would have crushed the spirits of American Indians long ago. But this has not occurred. Hope and gratitude have always been sources of strength for my people. I remember as a child growing up in northern Minnesota. My family was huge. We were desperately poor and my white father was a raging alcoholic. How my Chippewa Indian mother kept her heart from despair is unimaginable to me. Each Thanksgiving, my mother would go all out with a loving holiday meal. She would rise early to prepare the food and was always the last one in the household to eat. I now wonder if her devotion to the holiday was based on being thankful for surviving. Did she think about the even-tougher struggles her family and ancestors faced when the land of our people, our language, our traditional values and spirituality were ripped away through boarding schools and other assimilation efforts? Thanksgiving is considered by many American Indians to be a celebration that excludes us and a reminder of all we have lost to the white man. I don’t disagree. But when I think of my mother and so many other Indians who have survived with dignity, I choose to believe that hope and gratitude make the holiday worth celebrating.

I’d packed it safely home from a beach trip. It whispered when I held it to my ear, but the message depended on the listener—as do all messages. One friend would hone in on the sea object and remark she’d heard a bell or a whistle or some other noise. The other girls in the room would pass it around, agreeing they heard the same sound. I don’t remember if I heard it or not, but if I did, I probably didn’t admit it. I liked being the odd one out, the rebel. I wish I still had that pink-tinged shell, the roughness of it poking my hand as I listened to what sounded like the wind shushing the tide. I wonder what I’d hear now. My hearing’s improved—maybe not physically, as with age it’s known to get worse—but my mental listening is much more acute. I’m a bit less susceptible to the power of suggestion my grandparents to their and more in-tune to my church.

Decide for yourself what is right for you—make your own shell—cup your hand over your ear. Listen. You’ll hear your own heart-beat. It’s the smartest sound you’ll ever hear.

THEIR VIEW Let’s fill the next 4 years with acts of kindness By Heidi Stevens Contributing columnist Here’s my hope for the next four years — one of my hopes, anyway. That we take the proverbial pendulum — the one that swings this way or that way every time there’s a major upset in Washington — and we push it toward kindness. That we actively look around for kindness, and when we don’t see enough of it, we get resourceful and create more. That we ﬁnd ourselves in situations (at Thanksgiving dinner, on a city sidewalk, at the keyboard) where we think about what the world needs right now — hostility or hope — and we recognize that the latter is the one in short supply. And that we generate some. I see signs of this happening all around me. A reader named Dace Kezbers emailed me a photo last week of a sign posted in the art department at her grandchildren’s school. “Dear undocumented students,” it begins. “In this classroom, there are no walls. You belong here. You are loved. “Dear black students,” it continues. “In this classroom, YOUR life matters. You are loved. “Dear Muslim students and students of Middle Eastern descent,” it reads. “We know you are not terrorists. You are loved.” On Facebook — land of the free-ﬂoating anger, home of the brave souls standing up to that one friend from high school — a group of people has dedicated itself to committing 60 million acts of kindness. It’s a public group, started shortly after the presidential election, to share ideas and examples for helping others. The 60 million is a reference to the number of votes Hillary Clinton received, but the page is largely apolitical. From Melissa Atkins Wardy: “My family is traveling to Disney World on Thanksgiving day so today my kids are making little paper leaves that say ‘Thank you for working hard on this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to you!’ to give to the gas station attendants, hotel workers and restaurant servers we encounter on the drive there.” From Lorraine Pastore: “Today I gave my $10 supermarket coupon to the young mother ahead of me and wished her a happy Thanksgiving. It felt great.” From Karen Gilmore Gilgert: “My daughter practiced her holiday music at the local assisted living residence instead of at home so others could enjoy it.” From Guillermo Valverde: “I have driven an hour in trafﬁc and back to help a friend. I forgave someone who hurt me and called her to say hello. I wrote a letter commending an employee at Target. I bought the lady behind me coffee. I wrote a hand written note to my coffee girl at Starbucks. I promoted a trainer on FB and invited 50 people to like his class. And for the past two days, I’ve been doing hard labor at my sister’s front yard replanting trees and ﬂowers so that when she gets home from her trip tomorrow it’s all done!” Camden Lilley-Hall posted a photo of a purse with the following caption: “Have a spare bag at home you don’t want? Fill it with snacks, sanitary and hygiene products. Next time you see a homeless woman, give it to her.” The posts are tiny steps. They don’t get the attention of legislators. They don’t agitate for speciﬁc presidential appointments, or against them. They’re quiet. But that doesn’t mean they’re powerless. In August, I wrote about Kristina Lancaster’s campaign to spread random acts of kindness around her Fox Lake, Illinois, community in honor of her son Alex, who died when he was 12. On what should have been Alex’s 16th birthday, the Lancasters and their friends went around buying doughnuts for ﬁreﬁghters, haircuts for strangers, coffee for mail carriers. “Every time someone spread kindness in Alex’s memory, someone said his name and someone thought of him with a smile,” Lancaster told me at the time. “For me, as a grieving parent, that is one of the things I pray for most — that my boy is remembered because his presence mattered.” Is kindness going to run a country? No. Will it create jobs? Not directly, no. Will it protect our natural resources? It won’t. But does it make a difference? It absolutely does. Ask the Lancasters.

In its home ﬁnale, the Florida International football team outgained Conference USA guest Marshall 259-to-78 on the ground — with a 3-0 edge in rushing touchdowns — and the Golden Panthers claimed a 31-14 victory, on Saturday in the Sunshine State. Florida International (4-7, 4-3 CUSA) — which had dropped three straight games headed into Saturday — scored on the game’s opening drive when Alex Gardner broke a 14-yard touchdown run. Place kicker Austin Taylor added the extra point and capped off the 4-play, 82-yard drive with 13:34 left in the opening period. After three interceptions — two thrown by FIU and one thrown by Marshall (3-8, 2-5) — the Herd tied the game with 1:40 remaining in the ﬁrst quarter, when Chase Litton connected with Emanuel Byrd for a 17-yard touchdown pass. Amoreto Curraj made the point-after-touchdown kick, capping off the 8-play, 71-yard drive. Early in the second period, FIU intercepted a Marshall pass, but missed a potential go-ahead ﬁeld goal. The Golden Panthers eventually reestablished their lead with 38 seconds left in the ﬁrst half, when Christian Alexander found A.J. Branisel for a 3-yard touchdown pass. In the opening drive of the second half, Marshall drove 32 yards in 10 plays and 6:10, but was forced to punt. The Golden Panthers then marched 71 yards in 15 plays and 7:51, but were held to a 29-yard ﬁeld goal by Taylor. Marshall attempted to get those three points right back on the next drive, but the kick was blocked and FIU took over on its own 10. The Golden Panthers then drove 90 yards in seven plays and 2:51, expanding their lead to 24-7 with an 8-yard Anthony Jones touchdown run and an extra-point kick by Taylor. MU answered with an 8-play, 73-yard scoring drive, capped off by a 24-yard touchdown pass from Litton to Deon-Tay McManus. Curraj made the extra point, cutting the deﬁcit to 10 points with 3:53 remaining in regulation. Florida International recovered an onside kick attempt and drove the ﬁnal nail in the cofﬁn ﬁve plays later, when Gardner scored on an 8-yard run. Taylor’s extra-point kick put the ﬁnal touches on the Golden Panthers’ 31-14 victory. For the game, FIU held a 516to-379 advantage in total offense and a 26-to-24 edge in ﬁrst downs. Both teams committed ﬁve penalties — MU for 55 yards and FIU for 45 yards — and both teams had two turnovers. FIU was 5-of-7 in red zone trips, while Marshall was 1-of2. Florida International punted just once in the game, while Marshall punted four times. Litton — who ﬁnished with a net of three yards on ﬁve carries for the Herd — completed 29-of-42 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns. McManus hauled in a game-best 10 passes for 151 yards and one score, Josh Knight added six receptions for 42 yards, while Hykeck Foster caught ﬁve passes for 17 yards. Justin Hunt had four receptions for 44 yards, Michael Clark added 27 yards on two grabs, while Byrd ﬁnished with 20 yards and one touchdown on two catches. Anthony Anderson led the Herd See MARSHALL | 7 Bryan Walters/OVP Sports James Monroe quarterback Evan Beasley (19) runs away from a handful of Point Pleasant defenders during the first half of Saturday night’s Class AA quarterfinal contest at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Big Blacks shut out for 1st time since 2007 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — It wasn’t a ﬁtting end to Point Pleasant’s 2016 football season. It was, however, the proper outcome in Saturday night’s contest at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field. Sixth-seeded James Monroe rushed for 271 yards and surrendered only 209 total yards of offense while handing the host Big Blacks their ﬁrst shutout loss since 2007 following a 21-0 decision in a frigid Class AA quarterﬁnal contest in Mason County. The visiting Mavericks (11-1) owned the snowblown evening from start to ﬁnish, thanks in large part to a solid ground attack and an even stingier defense that forced two timely turnovers and limited thirdseeded PPHS (11-1) to just 95 yards on the ground. Both teams mustered only one ﬁrst down on their opening drives of the game, but the ﬁrst sign of trouble came at the end of Point Pleasant’s ﬁrst offensive possession. After starting from their own seven-yard line, the Big Blacks were facing a fourth-and-three situation at their own 33. The hosts, however, didn’t handle the snap on their ensuing punt attempt and had to fall on the fumble, which resulted in a loss of downs at their own 28 with 6:16 left in the ﬁrst quarter. JMHS needed only four plays to secure a 6-0 advantage as Grant Mohler capped things with a fouryard scamper with 5:17 remaining. Point Pleasant’s next two possessions started at its own 11 and its own eight, with the second drive sustaining itself through 10 plays deep inside JMHS territory. The 10th play, however, resulted in a loss of momentum as Connor Moore picked off a Cason Payne pass and returned it to the Mavs’ 13-yard line. The Big Blacks came up with three consecutive stops on the ensuing James Monroe possession, but Evan Beasley executed a successful fake punt and run on fourth down — allowing the guests to sustain their offensive possession. Beasley broke off a 56-yard run four plays later, then the Mavs needed ﬁve more plays to complete a scoring drive that resulted in a two-score advantage. Beasley’s two-yard run with 2:27 remaining before halftime capped a 12-play, 87-yard drive, and a successful Mohler run on the two-point try gave James Monroe a 14-0 cushion. Both teams had seven ﬁrst downs in the ﬁrst half, but the Mavericks owned a 150-112 advantage in total yards of offense — including a 145-77 edge in rushing yards. The Mavericks also had an averaging starting position at their own 37-yard line in the ﬁrst half, while the Big Blacks started their four possessions at an average of their own 15. PPHS was held under 100 yards of total offense in the second half, which included only 18 rushing yards on 10 carries. James Monroe, on the other hand, produced another 126 yards after the break — all on the ground. The ﬁnal score of the contest cam with 9:36 left in regulation after a four-yard Mohler run made it a 21-0 contest. In all, the Mavericks outgained Point Pleasant by a 276-209 overall margin in total yards of offense — which included a 271-95 advantage in rushing yards. JMHS claimed a 15-12 edge in ﬁrst downs and also ﬁnished the evening plus-2 in turnover differential. After the game, 10th-year PPHS coach David Darst was obviously dejected with the outcome — but he did have nothing but praise for his opponent on this night. “Without a doubt, the better team won tonight. They just outplayed us and we kept shooting ourselves in the foot,” Darst said. “We got beat in all three phases of the game. When that happens, it won’t end up going too well. “James Monroe came in here motivated and executed its game plan. Those running backs run the ball Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior running back Grant Safford (37) gets hit by a pair of James Monroe defenders during the first half of Saturday night’s Class AA quarterfinal contest at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. really hard and that’s a big football team over there. We just didn’t match up with them.” It ends up being the ﬁnal game for seniors Jason Schultz, Jason Wamsley, Sheb Harris, Dakota Booth, Andrew Roach, John Patterson, Grant Safford, Fernando Marcos Del Rio, Gage Withrow, Seth Stewart, Zach Wamsley, Gage Gibson and Joe Clark in the Red and Black. During their four-year careers at PPHS, this senior class has accumulated a 44-4 overall record while going a perfect 39-0 in regular season contests. The upperclassmen also end their careers with a 5-4 playoff mark, which includes four consecutive state quarterﬁnal appearances — the only group to ever accomplish such a feat in Big Blacks history. In being asked about the legacy that this group is leaving behind and how they should always take a great pride in what they have been able to accomplish in their football careers, Darst could muster only a short response. “I hope so, I really do,” Darst said. Grant Safford led the PPHS rushing attack with 79 yards on 15 carries, followed by Payne with eight yards on 12 attempts. Kes- hawn Stover also had one run for eight yards. Payne completed 9-of-19 passes for 114 yards, throwing two interceptions in the setback. Payne had only thrown one interception all season prior to Saturday night. Stover led the wideouts with 83 yards on four catches, followed by Safford with 11 yards on two catches. Jason Wamsley — the team’s leading wideout — had one grab for 13 yards before leaving the game in the ﬁrst half with a broken ﬁnger. Beasley led the JMHS rushing attack with 132 yards on 17 carries, followed by Mohler with 125 yards on 27 attempts. Beasley was 1-of-5 passing for ﬁve yards, with Devin Johnson hauling in the one pass. It was the ﬁrst time that Point Pleasant had been shut out in a game since dropping a 28-0 decision to visiting Gallia Academy at Sanders Field in Week 2 of the 2007 season. James Monroe becomes the ﬁrst team to shut Point Pleasant out at OVB Field in the history of the facility, which opened in 2009. The Big Blacks are now 46-6 alltime at OVB Field.

A warning? Or just what should have been expected from a football team that always plays Ohio State tough? Ohio State’s 17-16 win over Michigan State on Saturday might have been a little of all three of those things. Maybe it was a reminder that things won’t always be as perfect as they were when Ohio State beat Nebraska and Maryland in back-to-back games by identical 62-3 scores in its two previous games. OSU coach Urban Meyer chose to use it as a warning after the game. “It was a tough day at the ofﬁce there, but we’ll take it. We had fumbles and two big (Michigan State) plays in the ﬁrst half. That’s not us, that can’t be us. We’ll lose next week if we play like that,” he said, referring to OSU’s game at home against Michigan this Saturday. The Buckeyes were a three-touchdown favorite coming into Saturday’s game, but that might have overlooked the recent history between Ohio State and Michigan State. In the last ﬁve times the two teams have played, Ohio State holds a one-point edge, 121-120. Ohio State won 17-16 at Michigan State in Meyer’s ﬁrst season at OSU, lost 34-24 in the 2013 Big Ten championship game, then won 49-37 in East Lansing in 2014. Last year, Michigan State won 17-14 on a last-second ﬁeld goal. No. 2-ranked Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) knew it was in for a ﬁght from the start after Michigan State scored on the second play of the game when running back L.J. Scott turned a short pass from quarterback Tyler O’Connor into a 64-yard touchdown catch 46 seconds after the opening kickoff. That touchdown added to a statistic that seems unlikely for a team with Michigan State’s record (3-8, 1-7 Big Ten). The Spartans have had the lead in every game they’ve played this season. “They’re tough. They shot everything at us today,” Meyer said. In the end, Ohio State might have beneﬁtted from Michigan State trying to take a shot that maybe didn’t need to be taken. After L.J. Scott’s 1-yard touchdown run cut Ohio State’s lead to 17-16 with 4:41 left in the game, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio decided to go for a two-point conversion and the win, but Chris Worley intercepted a pass from O’Connor in the end zone to preserve the lead. Michigan State had the ball for only two plays after that, both of them deep in their own territory. O’Connor was sacked on the ﬁrst one and Gareon Conley’s interception on the next play sealed the win. “I was somewhat surprised but I’ve been in that situation before. You have all kinds of momentum and you go swing and try to have a knockout punch,” Meyer said about MSU going for two points. Dantonio said, “All week long I had said that if we get close at the end of the game, we’re going for two. We’re going to take an aggressive approach and play to win the football game, rather than tie the football game. So, that felt like what we wanted to do. “We had a number of play selections so that if they had us covered up on that particular play, so, good job by them. I still felt like we had an opportunity with four minutes to go if we stopped them and still had an opportunity to get the ball back and kick a ﬁeld goal and win the football game,” he said. Ohio State had two 100-yard rushers, with Mike Weber gaining 111 yards on 14 carries and quarterback J.T. Barrett carrying 24 times for 105 yards. L.J. Scott led Michigan State with 160 yards on 19 carries, including a 61-yard run in the ﬁrst half and a 26-yard gain in the fourth quarter. Weather conditions might have played a role in limiting both teams’ passing games. Barrett was 10 of 22 for 86 yards and one touchdown and O’Connor was 6 of 16 for 105 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Marshall while Christian Alexander was 4-of-5 passing for 53 yards and one score.

Either the Bills or the Bengals were going to walk off the ﬁeld feeling their season was just about gone. Despite losing two more key players, the Bills were the ones still standing at the end. LeSean McCoy ran 7 yards for a touchdown before suffering a thumb injury on Sunday, and Buffalo’s defense held on at the end for a 16-12 victory over Cincinnati Bengals. “We’re in a desperate position,” defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. “You look at it: We were kind of two teams teetering on the brink.” The Bills (5-5) had lost three straight heading into their bye week. When they lost both McCoy and top receiver Robert Woods in the ﬁrst half, things looked bleak. They piled up 183 yards on the ground — the most against the Bengals this season — to bust out of their long slump. They’ve got yet more injury problems, but at least they’re still in position to end their run of 16 seasons without a playoff appearance. “I feel deﬂated about the injuries,” coach Rex Ryan said. “I know what this team can do. If we are healthy, we are going to be pretty tough.” By contrast, the Bengals (3-6-1) are in danger of not making the playoffs for the ﬁrst time in six years.

(AP) — Jimmie Johnson walked across the stage after driver introductions to ﬁnd his car inexplicably missing from pit road. In a dramatic start to his race for a record-tying seventh championship, Johnson learned NASCAR’s inspectors had yanked his Chevrolet off the pre-race grid and sent it back through tech. The Hendrick Motorsports team had been accused of manipulating a body panel, and Johnson had to start last in the ﬁeld. In less than 30 laps, he was snifﬁng the top-10. “He come from last doing that?” Joey Logano asked him team, “Wow.” The best was yet to come. For most of the day, Johnson was the worst of the championship contenders in a winnertake-all season ﬁnale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He needed only to beat three other drivers to tie Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt with a record seven titles, but he was clearly not in the same league as the other ﬁnalists Sunday night. Johnson, who seemed to have sensed the last 10 weeks that he was ﬁnally going to grab that special seventh title, never panicked. “I felt like something was going to happen, and I was going to be OK with it,” Johnson said. “For a while I came to grips with the reality of (ﬁnishing) third, fourth, somewhere in there and shaking somebody else’s hand and being happy for them. “Then it changed so quick at the end.” Johnson was practically gifted his seventh title when Carl Edwards’ aggressive attempt to win the championship ended in a wreck. Johnson got the restart of his life in overtime, took the lead on the very last lap of the race, won for the ﬁrst time in his career at Homestead and grabbed the ﬁnal Sprint Cup trophy. The win was the 15th for Hendrick Motorsports and seventh for crew chief Chad Knaus, who now only trails Dale Inman’s record eight. “When I was coming to the checkered ﬂag, I had to really look closely at it going by to make sure it was, like, ‘Is this really happening?’” Johnson said. Johnson received kind words from Petty, while Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. represented his late father in victory lane. “I told Jimmie I wish Dad was here to shake his hand,” Earnhardt said. “Dad would think he’s such a bad-ass. He’s such a great race car driver. How he won this thing tonight, I don’t think a lot of people know, he can will himself to get (his all) out of a car when it matters. There’s a lot of circumstance that played into it, but he put himself Browns brutalized in 24-9 loss to Steelers CLEVELAND (AP) — The losses are now coming with lumps for the Browns. The 11th one this season was the most painful yet. Cleveland was manhandled on Sunday by the Steelers, who had eight sacks in a 24-9 battering. Pittsburgh gave Browns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler his second concussion in ﬁve weeks, an injury that could end a tough ﬁrst season for him. Kessler had to be helped from the ﬁeld late in the third quarter after he was wobbled on a hard hit by Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons. Timmons launched himself at the rookie and appeared to strike him with his shoulder while the QB was being dragged down. Kessler’s head snapped back and also hit the ground. As he was being checked by medical personnel, Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor laid on the ground next to his teammate to see if he was OK. Following the game, a passionate and disgusted Pryror sounded off about Cleveland’s quarterbacks being abused. “We can’t keep doing this,” said Pryor, a former QB. “It’s as simple as that. I’m tired of our guys getting hit. I’m nobody to complain because I don’t run it, but it’s personal for me because I care for those guys. I don’t like seeing them get hit like that. Point blank, period. Somebody’s got to say it. I’m gonna say it.” Browns coach Hue Jackson said it’s possible Kessler may need extra time to recover from his second concussion since Oct. 23. “I am deﬁnitely going to talk to our medical staff because this is about a young man’s career and future,” Jackson said. “So we have to do the right thing.” The Steelers (5-5) came in with a league-low 13 sacks, but teed off against a revamped Cleveland offensive line. Now suffering through the worst season in franchise history, the Browns (0-11) did not try to re-sign free center Alex Mack or right tackle Mitchell Schwartz in the offseason, and left guard Joel Bitonio sustained a season-ending foot injury in Week 5. Star left tackle Joe Thomas has taken a diplomatic stance on the changes. But following another lopsided loss, the perennial Pro Bowler said the upheaval has been costly. “We lost a couple of really good players, the best at their position,” he said, referring to Mack and Schwartz. “That was our strategy in the offseason. That’s what we decided to do. You have to lie in the bed that you made.” Josh McCown replaced Kessler in the fourth quarter and took hard knocks as well, getting his chin bloodied by a vicious shot by Stephon Tuitt. It’s possible the Browns could have Robert Grifﬁn III back at some point. He’s been out since breaking a bone in his shoulder in the opener and will return to practice this week. Grifﬁn probably won’t be ready to face the New York Giants next Sunday. At this point, Jackson is just trying to make sure his team survives. Jimmie Johnson celebrates his NASCAR Sprint Cup auto race and season title win Sunday in Homestead, Fla. in that position.” Edwards seemed headed for the title until a caution with 10 laps remaining set up a wild sequence. Edwards tried to block Logano on the restart, wound up wrecked, and it was Johnson who drove through the carnage to take the championship lead. Johnson withstood two more restarts and dedicated the ﬁnal two attempts at the win to the late Ricky Hendrick, who was one of 10 friends and family members killed in a 2004 plane crash. “They were nowhere all day, and just kind of ran around, I don’t know, probably, I’d guess sixth,” said 2015 champion Kyle Busch. “Never really showed their hand at all and didn’t really show any speed, never really led in the laps until the last one, and that’s the only one that really matters.” Perhaps it’s because Johnson had no plan. This was one of those rare days in racing when someone else’s bad breaks beneﬁted a driver who was prepared to pounce. Edwards’ accident gave him a chance Johnson didn’t have a mere ﬁve laps earlier. “It wasn’t looking good,” Knaus admitted. “I still don’t think that we necessarily had the speed that we need. The one thing that we have in our corner is we have Jimmie Johnson. He is the one that makes things happen when we don’t necessarily have the race cars. “When we do have the race cars that we need, he does phenomenal things.” Also doubting the situation was team owner Terry Renna | AP Rick Hendrick, standing atop the pit box and lamenting with 10 laps to go that it was over for Johnson. His wife told him Johnson was still going to win the race. Hendrick didn’t take her seriously. “When we had that last caution and he came out and took the lead, I couldn’t believe it,” Hendrick said. “I was actually stunned because we had so many ups and downs in that race.” Indeed, from last to ﬁrst and the top of the record books.

The Wolverines are led by Jabrill Peppers, who roams as a linebacker, drops back as a slot cornerback and blitzes from the line. He also gives the defense a vocal and demonstrative leader. “I’m kind of the energizer bunny,” Peppers said after the win over Indiana. The Wolverines also have an outstanding cornerback tandem in Jourdan Lewis and Channing Stribling. They rotate eight players on a deep and talented defensive line, which makes a lot of big plays but has struggled at times to stop running backs and quarterbacks from running to the outside and up the sideline. That could be an issue against Ohio State running back Mike Weber and quarterback J.T. Barrett, both of whom rushed for over 100 yards against Michigan State. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
