Reitmire, 92 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 186 Judge receives stayed suspension for misconduct Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County Common Pleas Court Judge D. Dean Evans has received a one-year stayed suspension from the Ohio Supreme Court for failing to disqualify himself from a case in which he had a conflict with defense counsel. According to a release issued by the Office of Public Information of the Ohio Supreme Court, in a 5-2 per curium decision (not authored by any particular justice) announced Tuesday, the court rejected the sanction of a six-month stayed suspension that has been recommended by the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline and instead imposed a full year stayed suspension. When contacted for comment on Tuesday afternoon in regard to the Supreme Court’s decision, Judge Evans reported that he could make no public comment on the case, but did state that the decision released on Tuesday would in no way affect the functioning of the Gallia County Common Pleas Court or the cases awaiting action in court. Attorney Robert W. Bright practiced before Judge Evans representing indigent criminal defendants for the Gallia County public-defender commission. In the case that resulted in this disciplinary complaint, according information contained in the initial opinion released on Tuesday by the court, Bright represented a defendant who had initially agreed to enter into a plea agreement but later changed his mind during the plea hearing before Judge Evans. Moments later, the defendant changed his mind again, and Judge Evans refused to accept the plea. Three days later, Judge Evans again refused to accept the plea agreement even though Bright and the county prosecutor jointly agreed to it. Bright then filed an 18-page motion requesting that Judge Evans accept the plea agreement and stating that the judge’s refusal to do so was “an abuse of discretion” and “unreasonable and/or arbitrary and/or unconscionable.” Bright also criticized some of Judge Evans’s other courtroom practices. Judge Evans issued an entry overruling Bright’s motion and removing Bright as counsel in the matter. The entry stated in part: The Court finds that while Defense Counsel’s attitude toward the Court as expressed in the instant motion may not rise to the level of Professional Misconduct or to the level of being contemptuous, it certainly is not acceptable behavior. By such conduct he has created conflict with the Court whereby in this case or for that matter any other case in the future, when he does not agree with a decision or ruling by the Court, instead of being critical by accusation of being arbitrary, unreasonable, unconscionable or of abusing discretion, he simply may accuse the court of being bias [sic] or prejudice [sic] as it relates to him. The Court must not only avoid any impropriety, bias or prejudice but must avoid any appearance of such. The expressions and attitudes of Defense Counsel as exhibited and announced in the instant motion toward this Court compromises [sic] the Court’s ability to avoid any appearance of bias [or] prejudice, or to be fair and impartial as it relates to Defense Counsel regardless [of] how hard it tries See JUDGE | 2 AG certifies petition for Clean Energy amendment Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com Bruce Wolfe, producer of “A Merry Country Christmas,” with show characters, an Elf and Santa . Submitted photos Bruce Wolfe’s cloggers to present a holiday show Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Bruce Wolfe, a song and dance man from Meigs County who has spent the past 22 years with Disney’s Creative Entertainment, will be returning to the area to present a holiday show titled “A Merry Country Christmas with Bruce Wolfe and the Midnight Cloggers and Friends!” at the Ariel Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, Nov. 30, with a 6:30 p.m. curtain time. Wolfe describes the one night show as a “very special holiday stage show featuring lots of toe-tappin’, knee-slappin’, foot-stompin’ fun” as the performers go “over the river and through the woods to their annual Christmas party in the country to kick-off the holiday season with all their family and friends.” The presentation is divided into two acts with a 15 minute intermission. The show features familiar holiday music, high-energy Appalachian clog dancing, and live vocal presentations highlighting the talents of area entertainers. Making appearances will be Santa and Mrs. Claus, and Sammy the Snowman. The VIP ticket holders will be given a special opportunity to visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus and Sammie immediately following the show. Wolfe began his career in the entertainment world at 16 and a student at Southern High School, when he produced a variety-style show as a fund raiser for the Racine Volunteer Fire Department and the Ladies Auxiliary for a charitable project. He began teaching Appala- chian clogging dance classes at the Community Center in Hartford, W.Va. and then in 1987 formed the Midnight Cloggers while attending Ohio University. The show team performed in several states, along with making special appearances at the Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom Park in Florida, Dollywood theme park, Opryland USA, Sea World in Orlando, Kings Island and the Ohio State Fair. They also served as opening entertainment for several recording artists. Bruce became a performing cast member in shows and parades for Walt Disney World Entertainment in 1991. His career there took him into training and development programs for new entertainment cast members, as well as staffing team members and management positions. On behalf of Walt Disney Company, he has traveled to Hong Kong, China at the Tokyo Disney land Resort in Tokyo, Japan, and to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He also performed at special events in Canada, Minnesota and New York. His current position has him working for Walt Disney Imagineering in the creative, design and development division of the company. Last year, Wolfe reunited the local performance group for a special celebration of its 25th anniversary with a show at the Ariel Theatre.

Cast members are Melanie COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recently certified the petition for the proposed Ohio Clean Energy Initiative amendment to the Ohio Constitution. Under the amendment, the state would issue $1.3 billion in bonds each fiscal year through FY2023. The money could be spent to support energy infrastructure related to solar, wind, biomass, battery technology and geothermal sources; research and development; and site and facility development for clean energy. The Ohio Clean Energy Initiative, in short, aims to use these funds to create jobs in the renewable energy industry in the state of Ohio. InvestOhio estimates 30,000 jobs as a result of an investment of $100 million. On November 12, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office received a written petition to amend the Ohio Constitution, entitled “The Ohio Clean Energy Initiative,” from the committee to represent the petitioners. The submission was certified Monday as containing both the necessary 1,000 valid signatures from registered Ohio voters and a “fair and truthful” summary of the proposed amendment. “Without passing upon the advisability of the approval or rejection of the measure to be referred … I hereby certify that the summary is a fair and truthful statement of the proposed constitutional amendment,” DeWine stated in a letter to the petitioners. Once the summary language and initial signatures are certified, the Ohio Ballot Board must determine if the amendment contains a single issue or multiple issues. The petitioners must then collect signatures for each issue from registered voters in each of 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, equal to five percent of the total vote cast in the county for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election. Total signatures collected statewide must also equal 10 percent of the total vote cast for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election.

According to information provided in the Ohio Supreme Court decision, Judge Evans subsequently filed entries removing Bright as appointed counsel in 63 other criminal cases — even though none of the defendants in any case had requested Bright’s removal as their counsel. The entry in each case stated that “Attorney Robert W. Bright is relieved of further obligation due to the conflict he has created with the Court” and “due to the Court’s inquiry to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, Supreme Court of Ohio regarding Mr. Bright’s conduct.” Judge Evans’s actions removed Bright’s entire caseload, and, reportedly, within a month of the judge’s entries, the Gallia County public defender terminated Bright’s employment, reasoning that it had “no other options,” since Bright could not practice in Judge Evans’s courtroom. Disciplinary counsel ultimately decided against filing any charges against Bright based on Judge Evans’s grievance. The Ohio State Bar Association subsequently brought a complaint against Judge Evans. The parties submitted a consent-to-discipline agreement recommending that Judge Evans be publicly reprimanded. The Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline rejected the agreement and remanded the matter for further proceedings before a threemember panel of the board. On remand, the parties waived a hearing and submitted stipulations of fact and misconduct and jointly recommended a stayed sixmonth suspension. The panel, and later the board, adopted the parties’ stipulations and recommended sanction. No objections were filed before the Supreme Court. All parties agreed that Judge Evans’s conduct violated Jud.Cond.R. 2.11 (requiring a judge to disqualify himself or herself in any proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including circumstances in which a judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party’s coun- Rutland Volunteer Fire Department Annual Turkey Dinner Saturday - November 23rd Meigs Elementary School Serving Starts @ 5pm Advance tickets - $6.00 Call Danny Davis 1-740-508-0688 or Available at Rutland Dept.

In smaller counties, especially those like Gallia County that have only one judge in the general division of the court, that simple resolution is not possible,” Justice Pfeifer wrote. “In the circumstances before us, it is more sensible for the attorney to give way than the judge. Judge Evans was elected by the people of Gallia County to serve as their sole judge; however highly skilled, attorney Bright is an at-will employee. Surely, when an irreconcilable conflict prevents them from working on cases, the elected judge should supersede the at-will employee.” Justice Pfeifer said he would impose the original sanction of a public reprimand that had been agreed to by the parties. Justice Terrence O’Donnell, who also dissented, indicated that he would impose the six-month stayed suspension as recommended by the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline instead of the one-year stayed suspension.

In Tuesday’s decision, the court wrote: “Given the judge’s serious ethical violations and the significant harm caused by his misconduct, we impose a fully stayed one-year suspension … Accordingly, Judge David Dean Evans is hereby suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for one year, with the entire suspension stayed on the condition that he commit no misconduct during the suspension. If Judge Evans fails to meet this condition, the stay will be lifted and Judge Evans will serve the entire one-year suspension. Costs are taxed to Judge Evans.” Joining in the majority were Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor and Justices Judith Ann Lanzinger, Sharon L. Kennedy, Judith L. French, and William M.

Farm bill takes aim at state animal welfare laws WASHINGTON (AP) — The future of state laws that regulate everything from the size of a hen’s cage to the safe consumption of Gulf oysters may be at stake as farm bill negotiators work to resolve a long-simmering fight between agriculture and animal welfare interests. The House Agriculture Committee added language to its version of the farm bill earlier this year that says a state cannot impose certain production standards on agricultural products sold in interstate commerce. The provision, authored by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, is aimed at a California law that will require all eggs sold in the state to come from hens that inhabit cages in which they can spread their wings — a major burden for egg producers in Iowa and other states who don’t use large cages and still want to sell eggs to the lucrative California market. The law goes into effect in 2015. “Bottom line of it is no state should be allowed to regulate production in other states,” King said at a meeting of HouseSenate negotiators last month. But opponents say that depending on how the language is interpreted, the provision could lead to challenges of dozens of other state laws — including some aimed at food safety, fire safety and basic consumer protections. Concern over King’s language has the potential to threaten the entire farm bill, which congressional leaders are hoping to finish by the end of the year. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said she has “great concern” about King’s language, which is not in the Senate version of the farm bill. Led by the Humane Society of the United States, a wide range of groups including the National Association of State Legislatures, the National Fraternal Order of Police and the Consumer Federation of America are all lobbying against the measure. King’s language cites the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which prohibits discrimination against interstate commerce. He says California’s law does just that — imposes its own standards on how producers in Iowa and elsewhere do their business. Concern about other laws that could be affected is just a ploy by animal rights activists — or, as he calls them, the “vegan lobby” — to discredit his provision, King said. King said he believes the provision is written narrowly enough so that the other laws would not be affected. As written, the provi- sion would allow states to regulate their own businesses but would prevent states from imposing “a standard or condition on the production or manufacture of any agricultural product sold” if the product is manufactured out of state and those standards go beyond federal law and the law of the state in which it is produced. Still, some groups worry the language is not specific enough and could apply broadly: — Fire safety groups say the language potentially could apply to firesafe cigarettes that have a reduced propensity to burn when left unattended. Because tobacco is an agricultural product, they worry that state laws requiring sale of these firesafe cigarettes could be affected if challenged in court. — Food safety groups say they are concerned that King’s amendment could threaten laws like California’s statute requiring that oysters from the Gulf of Mexico be pasteurized, a measure that has helped reduce foodborne illnesses in that state. — Law enforcement groups say they worry that the language could allow for fewer standards on puppy mills. “Animals will be at greater risk of mistreatment,” the National Fraternal Order of Police wrote in a letter to King. — The attorneys general of Arkansas and Mississippi have written letters to Capitol Hill opposing the amendment. “Due to the provision’s vagueness and overly broad language, it is unclear exactly what impact the King amendment could have on our state’s ability to enforce its own laws and to protect Arkansas businesses and consumers,” wrote Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, a Democrat. — The National Conference of State Legislatures says the language would “pre-empt” state agricultural laws designed to protect the safety and well-being of farmland, waterways, forests and people. The genesis of the amendment is a longtime fight between agriculture and the Humane Society, which has pushed states to pass animal welfare laws. In addition to egg farmers, other animal producers — particularly hog producers, many of whom use confinement crates for sows — are trying to fend off efforts by the Humane Society and other animal rights groups. King’s home state of Iowa is the top pork-producing state, and some farmers worry they could lose their operations if forced to make the expensive crate changes those groups have sought. The Humane Society is aggressively lobbying against the King amendment. Wayne Pacelle, the group’s president, calls the amendment “an enterprise-level threat to the animal welfare movement.” When writing legislation, “you need to judge the worst-case scenarios to judge the worthiness of a proposal,” Pacelle says of the possible impact on other laws. Though powerful agriculture groups have lined up in support, as have House Agriculture Committee leaders, the amendment has bipartisan opposition — notably from some Republicans who believe it attacks states’ rights. “Just trying to attack the Humane Society I think is very shortsighted,” said Rep. Jeff Den- ham, R-Calif. “You don’t throw out the Constitution because you want to attack one certain group.” King argues he is fighting for the right of states like Iowa to produce eggs and other products as they see fit, and to be able to sell them in a free market. He says the examples of affected laws are overblown, and would not apply because those laws don’t dictate specifically how an agricultural product is to be produced. Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law, said he’s not so sure, adding that the law could be “subject to multiple interpretations.” “It says it’s based on the Commerce Clause but I don’t think that’s the end of the story,” he said.

Gettysburg Address at 150: Address, Reporter’s story, scholars’ research remembered seek Lincoln’s exact words U.S. Senator Rob Portman Allen G. Breed There are two paintings beside the desk in my office. One is of George Washington, the man who helped establish the Union. The other is of Abraham Lincoln, the man who saved it. One hundred and fifty years ago today — or seven score and ten years, as he might have put it — Abraham Lincoln stood on a wind-swept battlefield at a tiny railroad crossing in southern Pennsylvania. He was not the featured speaker that day. That honor fell to Edward Everett. Everett’s speech would last two hours; his first sentence was more than seventy words long. Lincoln had come to dedicate a cemetery, a burial ground for the soldiers who only a few months before had fought outside of a town called Gettysburg. The Civil War was two years old then, and though it would rage for another two more, there was a sense that the tide had turned, that the war would end with the Union preserved, albeit after many thousands more lives were sacrificed. And so while Lincoln was there ostensibly to set aside a final resting place for those who had died in battle, his true purpose was even greater than that. Part of the genius of the Founders was that they were able to look beyond their own times and their own struggles to see that the colonies, united together and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal,” could change the world. But that Union, with that goal, was a work in progress. As Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has said, it was not perfect, but it was perfectible. It was the striving for that perfection — the perfection of freedom — that was the great task Lincoln spoke of. But Lincoln knew something else, too. He had set out to save the Union. In this, he had failed. At least, he had failed to save the Union as it had existed before. Change was inevitable. “A new birth of freedom” was needed. And only by rededicating ourselves to that central principle at the heart of the Declaration of Independence — that all people are born free — could our nation endure. We still hear Lincoln’s call today. The work of which he spoke is still unfinished. Liberty is our goal, freedom our watchword. Sometimes we come up short. Sometimes we don’t live up to our own ideals. But though we stumble, we will not fall. Lincoln sometimes got things wrong, too. The world will never forget the sacrifices made at Gettysburg, but neither will they forget the words that Lincoln spoke there. The Gettysburg Address is a founding document. It ranks alongside the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as a cornerstone of our nation. Today we honor it, and we honor Abraham Lincoln. But we must do more than remember. One hundred and fifty years after Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg, we must once again rededicate ourselves towards achieving what those honored dead throughout the centuries have been willing to give their lives to accomplish — “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” AP National Writer It was the biggest assignment of Joseph Ignatius Gilbert’s journalistic career — and he was in serious danger of blowing it. On Nov. 19, 1863, the 21-year-old Associated Press freelancer was standing before a “rude platform” overlooking the still-ravaged battlefield at Gettysburg, Pa. Towering above him was an almost mythic figure: Abraham Lincoln. By this time, Gilbert had been covering the president for two and a half long years of civil war. Three months earlier, he had written a dispatch about the Union rout of Gen. George Pickett from this very field, an event often called the “high-water mark of the Confederacy.” Lincoln had come to dedicate a portion of the battlefield — still strewn with equipment, clothing and horse skeletons — as a national cemetery. Gilbert was dutifully taking down the president’s words in shorthand when something uncharacteristic happened. He became star-struck. “Fascinated by Lincoln’s intense earnestness and depth of feeling, I unconsciously stopped taking notes,” he would recall decades later, “and looked up at him just as he glanced from his manuscript with a faraway look in his eyes as if appealing from the few thousands before him to the invisible audience of countless millions whom his words were to reach.” Luckily for Gilbert, Lincoln graciously allowed his text to be copied while the ceremonies concluded. And “the press report was made from the copy,” the AP man noted. Brief as Lincoln’s speech was, many newspaper reports paraphrased or outright butchered it. In his new book, “Writing the Gettysburg Address,” Martin P. Johnson argues that the fledgling “wire service” played a key role in ensuring that most Americans experienced the true power and poetry of their president’s words at a time when he desperately wanted to reach them. “The Gettysburg Address was not necessarily going to be an important text, if the first version published had been such a truncated version,” he says. But 150 years later, the debate continues over exactly what Lincoln said that day — and why it matters. “Four score and seven years ago …” The speech contains about 250 words. Today, a listener with a smartphone could polish it off in 10 tweets or simply post the raw video on YouTube. But a century and a half ago, the news medium was a reporter taking notes with a pencil, most likely in shorthand.

The story would travel to a newspaper office, where the series of dots and dashes were deciphered, then set in lead type. For a great many papers, the source of that text was the AP, and its “agents” — men like Gilbert. The goateed Gilbert was a “shorthand novice” in the state Senate at Harrisburg on Feb. 22, 1861, when he first heard the new president speak in the Pennsylvania capital. His dispatches appeared in the city’s Evening Telegraph. As he moved on to The Philadelphia Press and AP, the young scribe would have other opportunities to report on “the care worn President whose shoulders, Atlas-like, were carrying the pillars of the Republic.” So Gilbert was an old hand at covering Lincoln when he joined the throngs assembling on Cemetery Hill in the fall of 1863. “The battlefield, on that sombre autumn day, was enveloped in gloom,” he wrote in a paper delivered at the 1917 convention of the National Shorthand Reporters’ Association in Cleveland. “Nature seemed to veil her face in sorrow for the awful tragedy enacted there.” Lincoln was not even the keynote speaker that day; that honor fell to former U.S. Sen. Edward Everett, who spoke for two hours. Lincoln’s address lasted barely two minutes. There are five known drafts of the speech in Lincoln’s own handwriting, each different from the other in some subtle or not-so-subtle way. The last, penned in March 1864, is the version chiseled in marble on the Lincoln Memorial. In 1894, Lincoln’s personal secretary, John Nicolay, published what he called “the autograph manuscript” of the Gettysburg Address. The first page was written in pen on lined stationery marked “Executive Mansion”; the second is in pencil on bluish foolscap. Johnson, an assistant history professor at Miami University in Ohio, concludes that this is the delivery or “battlefield draft” Lincoln pulled from his coat on the platform that day. John R. Sellers, retired curator of Civil War papers at the Library of Congress, which recently put the pages on display, agrees. But historian Gabor Boritt, author of “The Gettysburg Gospel,” argues that a version discovered in 1908 among the papers of John M. Hay, Lincoln’s assistant secretary, is the one from which the president read. Perhaps the most important difference among the address’s various permutations is the presence or absence of the phrase “under God.” Those words do not appear in either the Nicolay or Hay drafts, but they are present in the three other handwritten Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

They also appear in dispatches sent by Gilbert and shorthand stenographer Charles Hale, who was there for the Boston Daily Advertiser, leading Johnson, Boritt and others to conclude that Lincoln added them extemporaneously. Lincoln told his good friend, Kentuckian James Speed, that he continued to work on the speech after arriving in Gettysburg and had not had time to memorize it. He also acknowledged that he did not stick to the script in his hand. Nicolay said Lincoln referred to the AP report when reconstructing and refining the address for the later drafts. But which one? Due to “inevitable telegraphic variations,” says Johnson, there were almost as many versions in circulation “as there were newspapers that printed them.” No definitive “wire copy” survives in AP files, says company archivist Valerie Komor. Many, including Komor, believe the story that appeared the next day in the New York Tribune, represents the dispatch sent out from AP headquarters. But Johnson notes that the Tribune had its own reporter in Gettysburg that day. Through some forensic calisthenics, Johnson believes he has succeeded in recreating the original AP dispatch. Different versions either include or omit the word “poor” in “far above our poor power to add or detract.” “Poor” is missing from the Tribune version, Boritt notes. It’s included in the story published in the Philadelphia North American, which to Johnson “appears to be the closest approximation of the AP version as it was telegraphed from Gettysburg on the day of the speech.” Unfortunately, Gilbert’s personal account only muddies the waters. In the wire dispatches, the text is interrupted six times to note applause. But in 1917, Gilbert remembered no “tumultuous outbursts of enthusiasm accompanying the President’s utterances,” adding the cemetery was “not the place for it.” Boritt, director emeritus of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College, has concluded the recollection of the AP man, who died in 1924, “needs to be taken with a grain of salt.” In the end, does it really matter whether Lincoln said “the government” or just “government?” It certainly did to him. “The exact words are important because they clearly reveal Lincoln’s thinking about the importance of the Civil War and the world historical importance of the struggle that he was engaged in,” says Johnson. “He was very clear about wanting to get the words correct, precise — because he knew that it was an important point.” Johnson says “it’s very fortunate for us” that Gilbert was there. “We’d probably always have the delivery text, but that might never have been published during Lincoln’s lifetime,” he says. “So the Gettysburg Address might never have become such an important, iconic text for us if the AP had not been there reporting it properly.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) — In solemnity, thousands gathered at a central Pennsylvania battlefield park Tuesday to honor a speech given 150 years ago that President Abraham Lincoln predicted would not be long remembered. The inspirational and famously short Gettysburg Address was praised for reinvigorating national ideals of freedom, liberty and justice amid a Civil War that had torn the country into pieces. “President Lincoln sought to heal a nation’s wounds by defining what a nation should be,” said Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, calling Lincoln’s words superb, his faith deep and his genius profound. “Lincoln wrote his words on paper, but he also inscribed them in our hearts.” Echoing Lincoln, keynote speaker and Civil War historian James McPherson said the president took the dais in November 1863 at a time when it looked like the nation “might indeed perish from the earth.” “The Battle of Gettysburg became the hinge of fate on which turned the destiny of that nation and its new birth of freedom,” McPherson said. In the July 1863 battle, considered the turning point of the war, Union forces fought back a Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania. Lincoln’s speech was delivered more than four months later, at the dedication of a national cemetery to bury the battle’s casualties. Death Notices COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A leading education-funding think tank on Tuesday released new school district comparisons that it says more accurately reflect the costs of educating poor students. The analysis by the Education Tax Policy Institute suggests that state dollars in Ohio’s poorest districts aren’t going as far as the state’s “apples to apples” comparisons say they are. The study was commissioned by organizations representing district superintendents, treasurers and school boards.

Member SIPC. in high regard the country’s founders. “Would they preserve that heritage, or would they allow it to perish from the earth?” McPherson said. He said the Gettysburg Address, despite its short length, managed to weave together themes of past, present and future; continent, nation and battlefield; and birth, death and rebirth. “Men died that the nation might live,” McPherson said. “Yet the old nation also died,” and with it, the system of bondage that enslaved some 4 million Americans. Part of the event was a speech delivered by suburban Philadelphia high school junior Lauren Pyfer, who won a contest to write a contemporary version of the Gettysburg Address, but at the same short length. She urged the crowd to do their part to “nurture and preserve the rights of humanity, equality and freedom, across all nations.” “It is impossible for one country to close its doors to other countries and still thrive,” Pyfer said. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, who also adopted Lincolnian brevity, said the Gettysburg battle stands at the vortex of American history, and the Gettysburg Address at the vortex of national consciousness. Lincoln, she said, called the country to its unfinished business, and he also came to symbolize the country’s “greatest virtues of humility, of honesty and decency.” fiscal benchmark reports while questioning one of the multipliers the department uses to account for a district’s concentrations of expensive-to-teach special education, limited Englishspeaking and economically disadvantaged students. Economist Howard Fleeter, who led the study, said Ohio significantly underestimates what it costs to educate a poor student when compared with national research and figures used by other states. Ohio’s major urban districts received $14,200 per pupil on average in fiscal year 2011. Fleeter’s study found that while the state says that amounted to about $10,300 per pupil when adjusted, a more appropriate measure would put the per-pupil average around $8,600. “School funding’s complicated and the simplest thing to do is not the most correct thing to do, which is just to look at the amount of school funding per pupil and some outcome measure and say a district’s doing well or it’s doing terribly,” Fleeter said. “These applesto-apples comparisons are the best way to understand what’s really happening with education in Ohio.” He said Columbus and its wealthy suburban neighbor, Bexley, are a good example.

There will be a graveside service at 1 p.m., Thursday, November 21 at Graham Cemetery in New Haven, officiating will be Jo Ann Clevenger. Service conducted by FoglesongRoush Funeral Home in Mason, W.Va. In the short oration, he spoke of how democracy itself rested upon “the proposition that all men are created equal,” a profound and politically risky statement for the time. Slavery and the doctrine of states’ rights would not hold in the “more perfect union” of Lincoln’s vision. “In 272 words he put together what everyone was thinking, what everyone should know,” said park historian John Heiser. Because of varying transcriptions, scholars generally put the text at 268 to 272 words. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia administered the oath of allegiance to a group of 16 immigrants, telling them the national identity is unique, illustrated by the existence of the word “un-American” and by the people’s “fidelity to certain political principles.” Greta Myer, 44, decided to make the six-hour trip from Akron, Ohio, with her husband and son after spending a week in Gettysburg earlier in the year. “It’s something we’ve never done before,” Myer said. “It was a historical event that we wanted to be a part of.” Among many re-enactors on the grounds were at least two Abraham Lincolns, including one who recited the address. “Lincoln would have been surprised by the reverence accorded to him by future generations,” McPherson said, noting Lincoln himself held Report: Ohio underestimates costs of teaching poor BROADCAST DENAPOLI LETART — James Paul DeNapoli, Sr., 62, of Letart, W.Va., went home to be with the Lord with family and friends at his side on November 18, 2013, at Pleasant Valley Hospital.

But Columbus’ high economically disadvantaged population means its dollars don’t stretch as far. After state weighting, Columbus’ perpupil allotment is $2,000 less than Bexley’s. Fleeter’s analysis puts the difference at closer to $3,300. “Bexley has more to spend on the basic nuts and bolts of education than Columbus does,” he said. “That’s what we want people to understand. Once we understand that, we can start to talk about what’s the best investment for our education dollars.” WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy! Fortune Wheel of Jeopardy!

TV14 (5:15) �The Daily Sentinel WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2013 SPORTS mdssports@civitasmedia.com Injured Bryant among OSU’s senior honored Saturday COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When Ohio State’s 18 seniors are introduced before Saturday’s final home game against Indiana, most will run across the field to a thunderous ovation. One will hobble out on crutches — and may get the warmest reception of all. Safety Christian Bryant, called the heart of the defense by coach Urban Meyer, broke his left ankle on the nextto-last play of the big victory over Wisconsin almost two months ago. “It’s going to be one of those emotional days for me, knowing it could be my last game in the ‘Shoe,” Bryant said this week. “I feel it’s going to be a great experience.” On Saturday, most will be smiling and celebrating, while Bryant may be left to think about what might have been and what still lies ahead. Bryant swooped in as the trailer on a tackle in a game already decided. Linebacker Joshua Perry made the initial hit, then rolled over Bryant’s ankle. Bryant was among the team leaders in every way — statistically and vocally — before being sidelined. “I couldn’t even begin to understand the feelings that he probably has,” teammate and offensive lineman Jack Mewhort said. “It’s going to be emotional for all of us, knowing that he wants to be out there with us and he can’t. We appreciate him, we love him and I know we’ll be thinking about him.” Five games in, it may have been the end of his season and college career. But Bryant didn’t know it. “I honestly didn’t know what was wrong,” said the 5-foot-10, 193-pounder out of Cleveland’s Glenville High School. “At first I kind of thought it was a high-ankle sprain or something. But as I was riding back to the locker room, it just started throbbing a lot more and then it kind of went numb. The doctors X-rayed it immediately and one of them told me that my ankle was broken. It was just one of those moments that you really can’t explain how you feel.” He has spent the time since attending class, rehabbing in the training room and encouraging his teammates. He may not be on the field, but he’s still an integral part of the team. “He is still the guy that everybody on that defense looks to,” said cocoordinator Everett Withers. “He’s a guy that if something isn’t going good, he’s going to let everybody know that it isn’t going good and See HONORED | 7 Submitted Photo Rio Grande’s Luiz Filho, shown here in Sunday’s win over Point Park University, was named the NAIA Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday.

Buckeyes turning running backs into tackler COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes … BUCKEYES BUZZ: Urban Meyer threw in some small jokes about coaching offensive players to make tackles during his weekly news conference. But on the Big Ten coaches’ teleconference on Tuesday, he made it clear that a shortage of bodies on special teams meant pressing offensive players into service as tacklers. And that he’s very concerned about it. “We have (lots of) guys out for the year (so) you’re going pretty far down,” he said. “So we’ve taken offensive players and we’ve put them on coverage units, which is common — one or two, but not five.” He singled out three running backs — Warren Ball, Ezekiel Elliott and Jordan Hall — who are being asked to come down on kickoffs and punts and make defensive stops. Some played bits and pieces of defense when they were in high school, some played a lot on the other side of the ball. But most have gotten almost all of their snaps in college practices on offense. So it takes some time to adapt. “We spent a lot of work on Sunday and today we’re going to continue to work,” Meyer said. Some come around to defensive fundamentals faster than others. “A guy like Ezekiel just kind of jumped right in and did it,” Meyer said. “Open-field tackling is a lot different than one where you just go and clean a guy up. So that’s what we’re working on. And it depends on the athlete. Ezekiel Elliott seems to pick it up just fine. Warren Ball, we’re working on real hard.” ALL DRESSED IN WHITE: Yes, Ohio State will break out a “rivalry” uniform for its annual grudge match with Michigan. No, it’s not meant as a remembrance or homage to any team, player or game. And, no, you’ll be hard pressed to find much scarlet or gray in the players’ ensemble. The team made it official on Tuesday when it announced it will wear a fifth Nike rivalry uniform when it plays at Michigan on Nov. 30. Initially, an email released by the team spokesman said the all-white uniform would honor the Nov. 25, 1950, “Snow Bowl” game played in Ohio Stadium against Michigan. In blizzard conditions with 40 mph winds, the two teams combined to punt 45 times with all the game’s points — a field goal and TD for Michigan; one field goal for Ohio State — the result of blocked punts. But team spokesman Jerry Emig later rescinded that information. In a series of postings on Twitter, Emig said the Buckeyes were not honoring the Snow Bowl, but instead Ohio State was wearing white uniforms to “stay cutting edge and to take care of its players, who like wearing an alternate.” The uniform look features white jerseys with large scarlet numbers on the front and on the shoulder pads. Names across the back are in all black. The white pants include scarlet, black and white piping along the sides. Seven Buckeye leaves ring the back of the collar and a “Block O” is on the front of the collar. The Buckeyes will also wear chrome helmets with a wide scarlet, white and black stripe that they wore for this year’s Wisconsin game. The Buckeyes are 5-0 when wearing alternate, rivalry-style uniforms. Honored From Page 6 why it isn’t good. If it’s going good, he’s going to be a positive role model on that sideline. He has a tremendous role. Our players feel good when he’s there. He provides a lot of, I guess, glue to our football team.” Team doctors say it’s possible he can play in a bowl game if the rehab goes well. In the meantime, team officials will check with the NCAA to see if there’s a possibility of Bryant getting a medical redshirt season, giving him a fresh start next season. Of course, Bryant could also let the ankle heal and The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Asked about title games, Meyer talks tackling COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes … BUCKEYES BUZZ: After his Ohio State team beat Illinois 6035 on Saturday, coach Urban Meyer said he and his players need to just be quiet and get better and let things like the rankings and BCS and bowl games take care of themselves. Period. “We have to make sure that our focus is on getting better each week instead of all of the national stuff,” he said. “I think I’m learning a lesson to just shut my mouth and quit worrying about this and that.” He got an opportunity to do just that — shut his mouth and quit worrying — on Monday at his weekly news conference. Meyer had already spoken at length about teaching specialteams players Ezekiel Elliott and Warren Ball, both RBs, how to properly tackle on kick coverage. A reporter asked him if there is an attitude today that if you don’t play for the national championship, it’s like a failure of the season. He also asked if he thought a segment of Ohio State fans really didn’t want the Buckeyes to play in a national title game so they wouldn’t get embarrassed, as they were in the 2006 and 2007 season’s BCS games. Meyer smiled slightly and then began. “Ezekiel on our punt team, I have to teach him how to tackle. Warren Ball is running down on kickoffs,” Meyer said, grinning while completely avoiding the questions. “He hasn’t done that in his high school career. We’re going to work hard on that in practice. “Any other questions about Warren Ball’s coverage?” Then he laughed out loud. HE SAID IT: Offensive coordinator Tom Herman was asked how his 2 1/2-week-old son, Maverick, is doing: “Awesome. Awesome. Glad he’s not blond haired and blue eyed because I haven’t been home very much.” NO D AT IU: The Hoosiers (4-6, 2-4 Big Ten) are one of the worst defensive teams in the country — and the stats support that statement. They are ranked No. 122 of the 123 teams in NCAA Division I in yards allowed per game at 535 (only 1-9 New Mexico State is worse at 555). Coach Kevin Wilson, who is 9-25 in his third season in Bloomington, Ind., was asked about the coaching and defense. “I evaluate everything. First of all, I’m going to start with me. If there’s a problem with the defense, there is a problem with me. If there’s a problem with recruiting, there is a problem with me. If there is a problem with the social behavior on the team, there is a problem with me, so I set the standard for it,” he said. “My deal is we have not created the standard we need there. So I’ll start with myself. Then we’ll look at staff, we’ll keep looking at recruiting and player development. But the real deal is we’re going through this week, get one day better, have a good week, go after Ohio State Saturday. Do the same thing the following week, and we’ll build from there and see.” It should be noted that Ohio State is the most lethal offensive team the Hoosiers have faced this year, ranking in the top 10 in the nation in rushing (fourth at 315 yards per game), total offense (sixth at 537 yards a game) and scoring (49.4 points per game). No wonder the Buckeyes are favored by 32 points. INJURY FRONT: Meyer said LB Joshua Perry (surgery on broken finger) is probable and LB Curtis Grant (back spasms) is “50-50” or “questionable” for Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. game against Indiana at the Horseshoe. FINAL HOME GAME: Eighteen seniors will be coming out of the tunnel for the final time at Ohio Stadium against the Hoosiers. Backup QB Kenny Guiton said he’s going to relish every minute. “I have thought about it a lot. I’ve been talking to a lot of guys about it,” he said. “My closest, closest guys, like (WR) Chris Fields and (RB) Jordan Hall, we’re just, like, ‘Man, we can’t talk about that.’ We kind of get sentimental about it. It’s going to be a touchy day. Some tears may come out. I’m hoping not. But it’s going to be a lot of fun.” Browns trying to shake off Cincinnati calamity BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Browns returned home with a rough, white-knuckle landing in windy conditions at Hopkins International Airport that had some players on the plane fearing for their lives. “Everyone was freaking out,” tight end Jordan Cameron said. “I didn’t think it was that bad. Some guys were calling their moms after the flight.” Unfortunately, they didn’t handle the turbulence in Cincinnati any better. After opening a quick 13-0 lead, the Browns unraveled and gave up 31 unanswered points during the second quarter. In just 15 minutes, the Bengals recorded an interception, blocked two punts (one technically called a deflection) — taking one back for a touchdown — returned a fumble for a TD and turned an important AFC North matchup into a onesided, laughable rout. Just like that. In their biggest game since 2007, the Browns (4-6) crumbled quickly. “The game just got away from us,” coach Rob Chudzinski said. “We have to play better in all three phases. Our veterans have to play better, our young guys have to play better and it needs to happen right away.” This was Cleveland’s big moment, the chance for the Browns to pull closer to the division’s top, sweep their in-state rival, enhance their national relevance and legitimize their playoff chances. The Browns failed across the board. They didn’t take advantage of early scoring chances on offense; their special teams imploded; and the defense, despite playing sound football for most of the afternoon, couldn’t get vital stops. The Browns may have had a sizeable statistical edge, but they came up short on the scoreboard and let an opportunity to slip away. “We didn’t play the way that we were capable of playing, and weren’t able to get it done,” Chudzinski said. “It’s important that we learn from this and when we have an opportunity again, which we will in the future, that this is an experience that the guys will be able to draw from and that’ll help us in the future.” And as for the heart-inyour-throat landing, Chudzinski hardly noticed. “I was watching tape,” he said, “and was pretty engrossed in that on the way back.” There was plenty to assess — in the bizarre second quarter alone. Despite having the ball for 11 minutes, 18 seconds to Cincinnati’s 3:42, the Browns were still outscored 31-0 and trailed by 18 points at halftime. Chudzinski said Cleveland’s blocking breakdowns on the two punts were “unacceptable,” and he was almost at a loss to explain how a game could pivot 180 degrees so abruptly. “As I look at it, it was a lot of things that happened that are atypical,” Chudzinski said. “So it was less about a snowball and more about some things happening that were a little bit more out of the ordinary that you don’t expect necessarily in a game.” Chudzinski said the Browns have been shuf- fling players in and out of their punt team, but didn’t use personnel changes as an excuse. He did identify rookie linebackers Barkevious Mingo and Eric Martin as missing their assignments on the second block, which was scooped up by the Bengals and returned 24 yards for a touchdown to give Cincinnati a 21-14 lead. Browns long snapper Christian Yount accepted blame for the first punting mishap, saying he didn’t recognize a “stunt” rush and his snap to punter Spencer Lanning was off line. “It was kind of a perfect storm,” he said. The miscues wouldn’t have been so deflating if the Browns had only scored touchdowns on two early possessions instead of settling for field goals. On consecutive plays, quarterback Jason Campbell, who threw three interceptions, missed a wide-open Cameron in the end zone and then had a pass to Greg Little — even more open than Cameron — batted down at the line. Burdette build his body back and then hope he can prove to the NFL that he’s back to his old, hard-hitting self in workouts for teams in the spring. He’ll sit down soon with his parents and his younger brother, relatives, friends and coaches and try to reach a decision on what’s next. Bryant said this season of victory and pain and personal loss taught him something. “I would just say I persevered through obstacles,” he said. “You can never think about what’s going to happen next because you have no idea. So you have to live in the moment and just try to seize every opportunity.” Leaders From Page 6 all season, and would be eligible to forego his senior year to enter the NFL draft. When asked how Robinson projects in the pros, O’Brien said he was focused on the Cornhuskers, and that those conversations would come later. The Gophers know all about Robinson — they limited him to seven catches on 63 yards two weeks ago in a 24-10 win over Penn State to go to 8-2 on the year. Minnesota has eight wins for the first time since finishing 10-3 in 2003, the same year that the Gophers last had possession of the Axe. Just a little more spice to this longtime Midwest border clash. “For me, the challenge is to make sure the young kids that don’t know about it … understand how important it is, and it is a culture,” Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said. “Because it is something that they’re going to remember forever.” From Page 6 “It was mainly the coaching staff,” said Jenna Burdette on why she chose Dayton. “I really just had a good connection with them.” Jenna, who is currently ranked 18th at her position by espnW, has received first team All-Ohio honors in each of her three seasons at Eastern. She has been named District 13 player of the year in all three seasons, AP southeast district co-player of the year three times and has been selected first team in the Tri-Valley Conference thrice. Burdette was also named to the Division IV All-Tournament team this past postseason and has been conference player of the year twice. “I’m proud of her of course. She puts a lot of hard work in and it paid off … it’s what she’s always wanted to do,” sixth year EHS head coach and Jenna’s father John Burdette said. “As far as being dad and coach its different roles but one in the same. I’m happy for her as a coach but I’m truly thrilled to see her happy as her dad.” Through three seasons in the Green and Gold Jenna has averaged 17.6 points per game while shooting 50 percent from inside the three point line and 40 percent from beyond the arc. Burdette has shot 72 percent from the free throw stripe, while averaging 5.3 rebounds per game, 4.6 assists per game and 3.4 steals per game. “Jenna is just an overall good kid,” John Burdette said. “The best compliment you can have as a basketball player is that she makes everyone else better and that’s her.” Jenna has already claimed the Lady Eagles all-time scoring record and has led the EHS to a 63-14 record in three seasons. Still the 5-8 guard could have posted many more points. “I don’t personally care how much I score as long as we have more points at the end of the game,” Jenna Burdette said. “We just like to share the ball and have fun while we do it.” In the regional final last year against Newark Catholic, Jenna posted 32 points and eight rebounds, with four assists and four steals, leading Eastern to the state tournament. EHS is the only school in the Southeast District history to reach the Division IV Final Four. In the state semifinal, Burdette posted a doubledouble (20 points and 11 rebounds) in a three point loss to Berlin Hiland. High school basketball could very well be considered Jenna’s offseason, with her AAU team, the West Virginia Thunder, being one of the tops in the nation. Other commits made by Jenna’s Thunder teammates include Mychal Johnson to Notre Dame, Griffin Dempsey to Charlotte, Terra Stapleton to Michigan, Ali Jo Whitman to UNC Greensboro and Kelli Jo Harrison to Fairmont State. “This year there won’t be an AAU season because I leave for college in June,” said Jenna. “Going from the AAU season to the high school season is a little different until you get to the regional finals, that’s when it starts acting about the same. Overall, I think AAU has prepared me more for college than high school has.” Jenna has also competed in the state track and field championships on four separate occasions. As a junior in the 4x400m relay and as a sophomore in the long jump, the 4x200m relay and the 4x400m relay. Jenna, who is currently undecided on a major, will be joining a University of Dayton program that gets closer to the top each season. The Flyers, which were just 3-25 Jabir’s first season, have won more than 20 games in six straight years, including boasting a 28-3 record last season. UD has made the NCAA tournament in four consecutive years and won the Atlantic-10 this past season. Dayton is currently ranked 21 in the nation by USA Today and holds a 2-2 record with its only losses coming to Big10 schools in overtime. Burdette is expected to make a major impact for the Flyers next season. “I think that Jenna is going to be our leader on the court,” said Jabir. “She brings a great balance off the court. We needed to sign Jenna and we are lucky she is a Flyer.” Jenna — who owns a 3.9 GPA and is a National Honor Society member — is the daughter of John and Jill Burdette, who reside in Coolville, Ohio. www.mydailysentinel.com �Page 8 s The Daily PLEAS, MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO, CASE NO. 13 CV 090.

Russo The Associated Press Moving up can bring a program down. West Virginia and TCU are finding that out as Utah did before them. Rutgers, Maryland and Louisville might want to take notice. The Mountaineers and Horned Frogs, in their second seasons in the Big 12, have both had long bowl appearance streaks snapped this season. TCU had played in the postseason the last eight seasons and 13 of the last 14. The Horned Frogs fell to 4-7 after losing 31-30 to Kansas State on a last-second field Saturday. TCU has this week off and then plays Baylor. “This Baylor game is going to have to be our bowl game,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said after the K-State game. “So that’s the way we’re going to approach it.” West Virginia had been to 11 straight bowls before having its hopes for a postseason invitation end in a most unlikely place. Kansas snapped its 27-game Big 12 winning streak against the Mountaineers on Saturday with a 31-19 victory. “Nobody’s happy with 4-7 and nobody’s happy with being home for the holidays,” coach Dana Holgorsen said. “We’re building a program and the recruiting is going to continue to get better. “We need to step up our game as a university and continue to build facilities to stay in line with everybody else across the country. We need to continue to build our roster. Need to continue to develop our kids and have Big 12-caliber depth at all positions.” Patterson has said he believes it will take a few years of recruiting for TCU to be able to match the depth of its Big 12 rivals. Every team has injuries so that alone is no excuse for the woes of West Virginia and TCU, but both have had their depth severely tested. West Virginia went into the Kansas game with about a dozen key players sidelined. In the Big East, the Mountaineers might have been able to survive such a plight. Not facing a nine-game Big 12 schedule. TCU is also finding the Mountain West and Conference USA, where Patterson racked up double-digit win seasons and made a couple of BCS bowls, was more forgiving. While Patterson’s best TCU teams could have contended for Big 12 titles, the difference between 8-4 and 4-8 in the Big 12 can be a couple of bad bounces and few injured knees. Utah is in its third season in the Pac-12 and could be looking at its second straight bowl-less season after breaking a string of nine straight bowl games last year. Facing one of the toughest schedules in the country this season, the Utes (4-6) need to win their final two games against Washington State and Colorado to get bowl-eligible. And they’ll have to do so without starting quarterback Travis Wilson. Coach Kyle Whittingham announced Monday the sophomore will miss the rest of this season with a head injury. Switching leagues wasn’t a problem for Nebraska, Texas A&M and Missouri because going from the Big 12 to the Big Ten, as the Cornhuskers did, or the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference, as A&M and Mizzou did, wasn’t as much of a jump for solid programs with a track record of success. Rutgers, Maryland and Louisville should brace themselves. The Scarlet Knights move from the former Big East, now the American Athletic Conference, to the Big Ten along with the Terrapins next season. The Cardinals leave the American to replace Maryland in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Scarlet Knights (5-4) appeared to be making this move on the upswing, when a year ago this week they announced it. At the time, Rutgers was in position to win the Big East and go to the BCS for the first. It didn’t work out on the field and the Rutgers’ athletic department has faced one problem after another since. The latest being a former football player accusing an assistant coach of mistreatment. Second-year coach Kyle Flood is already feeling heat from fans who sense the program is sliding at the worst possible time — with Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan State on next year’s schedule. Maryland might not be ready to contend in the Big Ten immediately, but at least the Terps have been making steady improvement under Randy Edsall. They are bowl-eligible in Year 3 under the former Connecticut coach. No. 21 Louisville would seem to be well positioned to make the transition to the ACC under Charlie Strong, but don’t get too confident Cardinals fans. Star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater won’t be around to play Florida State, Clemson, Miami and Notre Dame next season. Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Missouri player charged for hitting player with helmet PLATTE CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri high school football player was charged Tuesday with assault for allegedly ripping off another player’s helmet during a game and hitting him in the head with it, giving him a concussion. Colin W. Byrd, a 17-year-old center for Platte County R-3 High School, is charged with misdemeanor assault for the incident that occurred Oct. 18 during a game against Winnetonka High School, Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd said. Byrd’s lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment. However, the teenager told investigators that he didn’t intentionally hurt the other player, whom authorities have identified only as “J.R.” According to the probable cause statement, an official at the game said Byrd and J.R. were headed out of bounds on a kickoff return, and that once out of bounds, Byrd twisted J.R.’s helmet off and intentionally struck him in the head with it. Byrd was ejected from the game. “Football players consent to physical contact and the possibility of injury every time they walk onto the field,” Zahnd said. “And even conduct that draws a penalty is almost never criminal. In this case, however, we allege what happened that night was not football.” According to the probable cause statement, Byrd told investigators that J.R.’s “helmet ended up in my hand and I just went back to throw it behind me and ended up hitting him.” The probable cause statement says J.R. suffered a “significant concussion for which he is still under doctor’s care.” Zahnd said J.R. has not yet been able to return to school and continues to deal concussion symptoms. “The official told investigators he had been officiating football games for more than 20 years and had never seen anything like it,” Zahnd said. Byrd, who is not in custody, faces up to a year in jail, Zahnd said. Jason West, spokesman for the Missouri State High School Activities Association, said if Byrd is convicted he would be ineligible to play high school football until he has completed any sentencing requirements, including probation or community service. MSHSSA was also informed this week that Boone County has been investigating possible charges against a soccer player after a fight broke out during a recent game in St. Louis, West said. Other than these two incidents, he said MSHAA has not had to deal with high school athletes being charged with crimes for conduct during games. West said MSHAA also has a bylaw that addresses citizenship. “This bylaw has been put in place for a few years now, and the schools have done a pretty good job of educating their athletes, saying you need to be responsible and your actions do carry consequences, not only on the field but cock, Cincinnati’s athlet- off the field,” West said. ic director. “But in general, yes, to get a BCS-level team to play you homeand-home is getting harder and harder.” Babcock estimated he approached between 20 and 30 schools before getting the two-game deal with Miami.

It’s a series that goes back a long way. The schools have played 11 times in a series that began in 1947. They played every year from 1982-89, when Miami was a Top 10 team much of the time, but haven’t met since 1998. The Hurricanes have won 10 of the 11 games. Both schools needed a game next season and decided to renew their series. It’s unusual for two successful teams to play a nonconference series that involves going on the road. “We were both in a scheduling bind and it came together relatively easy,” said Whit Bab- 60458345 Preseason Big 12 fave Okla.
