WVU names Roush as Mountaineer mascot (Editor’s note: Article from West Virginia University’s WVUToday at https://wvutoday.wvu. edu/home.) MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Inspired by the passion and resilience of West Virginia University’s first female Mountaineer Mascot, Natalie Tennant, Mary G. Roush will become the third female in nine decades to don the buckskins and carry the rifle as the 68th Mountaineer Mascot, according to a news release shared by WVU. Roush was named the 2022-23 Mountaineer Mascot today (March 5) at the men’s basketball game in the WVU Coli- seum, becoming the first freshman to serve in the role and fulfilling her lifelong dream. Prior to Roush, Tennant (1990-91) and Rebecca Durst (200910) have been the only women to serve in this coveted position since the first official Mountaineer was selected in 1934. Roush, from Mason, W.Va., knew from an early age that she wanted to attend WVU and serve as the Mountaineer, but from time-to-time she felt disheartened by others who would try to deter her from pursuing this male-dominated tradition.

We need to change the narrative — not just in the African American community, but in the community as a whole.” COVID-19, she continued, doesn’t discriminate against who it infects or kills. “When COVID first happened, we heard that young people were invincible, that they could keep living their lives the way they did. Losing a legacy in the community at age 21 was eye-opening, I believe,” Barron-Brown said. “For COVID, it doesn’t really matter your age, it doesn’t matter your race, your socioeconomic background. So now we need to educate past that fear and show people the importance of getting a vaccine for themselves and those around them.” Charleston City Councilman Larry Moore coached Jon when he attended Capitol High School. He graduated in 2018 after setting a record and earning a state title for running the 2x400 in track and field. “Jon was an uplifter — he truly was the life of the party, and so positive. What his mom is doing in his memory — turning sorrow into service — I love that, and it’s great for the city and great for everyone,” Moore said. “A lot of these younger kids, they’re kind of stuck in their ways a little bit. She’s showing the kids to take things seriously. COVID19 is real, everything in life is real. They can see that through someone they looked up to.” Jon was the father of a 1-year-old son when he died. “He was his heart,” Barron-Brown said. Jon was also passionate about sports, his mother said. He was always looking to help and encourage other student athletes in the community. When COVID-19 started in 2020, he launched The Jungle, a three-on-three basketball tournament attended by people across the Kanawha Valley, and even the state. “It was like nothing ever seen in the state before,” Moore said. Jeff Biddle, who was Jon’s youth pastor and who is the current director of Midian Leadership Project, an after-school program on Charleston’s West Side, said Jon and his friends were a large part of the inspiration that started the program. “They were a wonderful bunch of kids who made an agreement with each other to hold each other accountable, to graduate, to do great things with their lives,” Biddle said. “Jon was a really energetic guy. All I know how to say is that we really miss him. His memory is a very large presence in the minds and hearts of his friends and the people who knew him.” Over the several months following Jon’s death, Barron-Brown put her emotions onto paper, writing a journal-style book called “Loss of Self: Turning Sorrow into Service.” It includes quotes, self-guided questions and writing excerpts centered around recovering after such a devastating loss. Barron-Brown will have signed copies of the book available at Saturday’s event. She hopes the writings help people who have experienced any kind of loss. “As a grieving mother, I will always grieve the loss of my son, but I know I cannot stay in that mind and be effective. This was me indulging myself, putting those thoughts down,” Barron-Brown said. “Everyone has lost themselves at some point — through a relationship, death, childhood trauma. I think everyone lost themselves a little bit in this pandemic, and we need to support each other in getting back.” Bill would protect short-term Trial next for 4 accused in Michigan governor kidnap plot rentals in Ohio for up to 30 days Associated Press GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Were they gullible foul-mouthed men under the spell of undercover agents? Or a rogue cast seething with enough anger to actually want to kidnap Michigan’s governor? Jury selection begins today in the trial of four men who are accused of conspiring to snatch Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a stunning scheme to retaliate against her stayhome policies and other COVID-19 restrictions during the early months of the pandemic. In 2020, Whitmer, a Democrat, was trading taunts with thenPresident Donald Trump over his administration’s response to COVID-19. Her critics, meanwhile, were regularly protesting at the Michigan Capitol, clogging streets around the statehouse and legally carrying semi-automatic rifles into the building. During that turbulent time, Adam Fox, Brandon Caserta, Barry Croft Jr. and Daniel Harris were plotting to snatch Whitmer, prosecutors say. They’re accused of taking critical steps over several months, including secret messaging, gun drills in the woods and a night drive to northern Michigan to scout her second home and figure out how to blow up a bridge. The FBI, which had infiltrated the group, said it thwarted the plan with the arrests of six men in October 2020. Two of them, Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, have pleaded guilty and will appear as crucial witnesses for the government, giving jurors an inside view of what was planned. Garbin, for example, said Fox, the alleged ringleader, wanted the men to chip in for a $4,000 explosive large enough to destroy a bridge near Whitmer’s home and distract police during a kidnapping. “The blood of tyrants needs to be shed,” Garbin quoted Caserta as saying during a meeting. Garbin and Franks insist no one in the group acted because of excessive influence by agents or undercover informants. “It is not the end of the case for the defense, but it’s a big obstacle to overcome,” John Smietanka, a former federal prosecutor, said of the pair’s cooperation.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio villages, cities and other local governments would be prohibited from banning AirBNB-style short-term rental units in their communities, under proposed GOP legislation meant to create state-wide uniformity on the issue. Short-term rental options such as AirBNB, bed and breakfasts, vacation stay company VRBO and others help boost local economies via taxes and visitors to restaurants and events, said co-sponsor Rep. Sarah Fowler Arthur, a Republican from Ashtabula in northeastern Ohio. Arthur said the measure protects the rights of private property owners while allowing local governments to enforce public health, fire, traffic and other codes. The bill “establishes parity across the state while protecting Ohio’s entrepreneurs and small business owners,” Fowler told the House State and Local Government Committee last month. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce and multiple short-term rental owners support the measure. The Ohio Municipal League opposes it, saying the legislation violates constitutional home rule powers.

The RedStorm dropped to 8-12 overall with a third consecutive loss. Midway upped its season mark to 3-12 as a result of the walk-off victory. The Eagles carried a 3-0 lead into the seventh inning after scoring once in the second and twice in the sixth, but Rio rallied for two runs in the seventh thanks to an RBI single by junior Gavin Lovesky (Willowbrook, IL) and run-scoring fielder’s choice grounder by sophomore Seth Mills (South Shore, KY), thus setting the stage for the dramatic final frame. Lovesky was hit by a pitch with one out in the Rio Grande ninth and moved to second when freshman Brady Conley (Westerville, OH) reached on an error. Freshman Mitch Santino (Lancaster, OH) then came on to run for Lovesky, while sophomore Josh Wolfe (Hillsboro, OH) was summoned off the bench to pinch-hit. Wolfe delivered a game-tying single to leftcenter and, when the ball was booted for an error, Conley continued around with the go-ahead run. Freshman Mattox Mead (New Albany, OH) entered the game as a pinch-runner for Wolfe and moved to third when sophomore pinch-hitter Jakob Johnson (Pickerington, OH) reached on an infield single. Junior Clayton Surrell (Carroll, OH) followed with a sacrifice fly to score Mead and make it 5-3. But the lead didn’t last long once the Eagles got their turn at the dish in the home ninth. Sophomore Reid Shultz (Minford, OH), the second of three Rio pitchers, hit Grant Hotchkiss to begin the inning and Hotchkiss promptly stole second. Max Hill then walked and Ryan Davis followed with a single up the middle to to make it 5-4 and put the would-be tying run into scoring position. Sophomore Victor Tyo (Grove City, OH) was brought on in relief of Shultz and gave up a runscoring double to Josh Halterman which advanced the winning run to third base. Cameron Nichols was intentionally walked to set up a force play at any base and Nick Eastham struck out swinging for the first hit of the inning, but Preston Howard followed with a single to right-center to score Davis with the game-winner.

River Valley qualified four grapplers for the state meet for a second consecutive postseason, while South Gallia earned its first-ever state qualifier on Saturday following the conclusion of the 2022 Division III East-Southeast-Central District Championships held at Heath High School. The Raiders — who are sending multiple entrants to the state tournament for a fourth consecutive year — made another bit of history this weekend as they not only increased their all-time state qualifiers list from six to eight, but the Silver and Black also had the program’s only district champion repeat that feat. Senior Will Hash became a 2-time district champion and secured his program-tying third state berth by winning the 190-pound division with a perfect 4-0 mark. Hash recorded two pinfall wins, a 16-5 major decision and landed a 19-0 technical Eastern senior Jayden Evans, left, tries to escape the clutches of River Valley senior Nathan Brown during a 175-pound match at the 2022 Division III Southeast sectional tournament held Feb. 26 at Alexander High School in Albany, Ohio. fall victory in the finals to wrap up his second straight district crown.

Junior Michael Conkle went 4-2 overall with three pinfall wins and placed fourth at 165 pounds, which earned him his first state bid in wrestling. Senior Aiden Greene was 3-2 overall and finished fourth at 215 pounds, which also landed the big man a spot in his first state tournament. Junior Andrew Huck — a 2-time state qualifier previously — came up just short of the cut-off mark after placing fifth at 144 pounds. Huck went 3-2 overall with two pinfall wins and an 11-1 major decision, but he dropped a 3-2 decision in the consolation semifinals and ended up in the fifth place match. Senior Nathan Brown went 2-2 overall and scored a pair of technical fall victories at 175 pounds, while junior Landon Goheen (285) and freshman Levi Wood (138) each dropped a pair of matches to complete the day for RVHS. The Raiders ended up fourth out of 53 scoring teams with 97.5 points, with Barnesville winning the D3 crown with 136 points. Pleasant was the overall runner-up with 133 points.

It’s more like a pristine centerpiece for the venerable chief’s headdress.

PPHS also technically secured enough points for the program’s seventh overall AA-A crown somewhere early in the third session Friday evening. The Big Blacks came away with a half-dozen individual state champions — including a pair of 4-time title-winners — and nine podium placements en route to a final tally of 233 points. Both Cameron and Fairmont Senior shared runner-up honors out of 45 scoring teams with 116.5 points apiece. Point Pleasant — which has won all seven of its AA-A crowns over the past 13 postseasons — produced six individual champions for a third consecutive year.

Afterwards, Bonecutter spoke about the significance of this historic 4-peat, acquiring the program’s seventh overall crown, and coming away with six more state champions as part of another dominant showing at the highest level of the sport. “It was almost a perfect night, but it was a wonderful weekend. It was a good night for us, meaning the kids, the program and the town. All you had to do tonight was look around and listen to know that Point Pleasant is a wrestling community,” Bonecutter said. “It’s uncharted territory for us, and it’s a heck of a way to send out this senior class. We’ll also have eight qualifiers and four state champions returning next year, so maybe we aren’t going to fall off as much as some might have previously thought. “We elevated the program this weekend with this championship, and I also think we elevated things with the way we performed in the finals Saturday night. We had nail-biters, we had overtime, we scored a few pinfalls and we had one not go our way. That’s the thing, it wasn’t perfect, and that’s why we’ll be back at work Monday getting ready for all of the things that go into preparing for next season. We’ll enjoy what we’ve done this weekend, for sure, but we’ll be chasing the same goal next year. And we’ll be wearing the same target too.” Point Pleasant scored 46 points with a 12-1 record that included 11 pinfall wins, which resulted in a 22.5-point lead over the field after Session 1.

The S&P 500 fell 3%, its biggest decline in 16 months, after a barrel of U.S. oil surged to $130 overnight on the possibility the U.S. could bar imports from Russia. Stocks around the world also fell earlier in the day, taking their cue from oil’s movements. The benchmark S&P 500 fell 122.78 points to 4,201.09. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 797.42 points, or 2.4%, to 32,817.38. The Nasdaq composite slid 482.48 points, or 3.6%, to 12,830.96. The tech-heavy index is now 20.1% below its record set in November. Such a decline means the index is now in what Wall Street calls a bear market. The S&P 500 is down a more modest 12.4% from the peak it set in early January. Gold and a measure of nervousness on Wall Street also rose, though not by quite as much as when oil prices hit their peak. The price of gold briefly rose above $2,000 an ounce before settling at $1,995.90, up 1.5%. Rockslide and longer detours for motorists and emergency personnel.
