OHIO — Ohio’s whitetailed deer hunters finished the weeklong gun season with 63,493 deer taken, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. During the 2018 season, 60,752 deer were harvested during the same period. “Ohio hunters took full advantage of a great week of deer hunting,” said Mike Tonkovich, Ohio Division of Wildlife deer program administrator. “The fall weather has been the most hunterfriendly we’ve seen in a long time, and this year’s harvest is certainly proof of that. The deer harvest is a direct result of our ongoing efforts to align Ohio’s wild deer herd with the interests of the majority of Ohio’s farmers and hunters. This has been and will continue to be the backbone of Ohio’s deer program.” Top 10 counties for deer harvest during the weeklong deer-gun season include: Coshocton (2,322), Tuscarawas (2,127), Muskingum (1,972), Ashtabula (1,901), Knox (1,771), Guernsey (1,734), Licking (1,514), Carroll (1,473), Holmes (1,465), and Washington (1,464). Both Meigs and Gallia Counties saw a decrease in numbers from the previous year. In Meigs County, hunters took 1,076 deer, down from 1,238 in 2018, and in Gallia County, hunters took 980 deer compared to 1,150 in 2018. Through Dec. 1, 2019, 76,822 deer were taken by Ohio archery hunters. Plus, Ohio’s youth hunters checked 6,234 whitetailed deer during the 2019 two-day youth gun season, Nov. 23-24. Ohio offers many more opportunities for hunters to pursue deer. Deer-gun season resumes for two days, Dec. 21-22. Deermuzzleloader season is Saturday, Jan. 4, through Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2020. Deer-archery season is open now through Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020. Find complete details in the 2019-2020 Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov. For summaries of past deer seasons, visit wildohio.gov/ deerharvest. Ohio is a popular hunting destination for many out-of-state hunters. To date in 2019, more than 34,000 nonresident Ohio hunting licenses have been sold. The top five states for purchasing a nonresident hunting license in Ohio include: Pennsylvania (6,490), Michigan (4,294), West Virginia (3,717), North Carolina (2,816) and New York (2,365).

Today’s Highlight in History On Dec. 10, 1994, Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin received the Nobel Peace Prize, pledging to pursue their mission of healing the anguished Middle East. On this date In 1817, Mississippi was admitted as the 20th state of the Union. In 1861, the Confederacy admitted Kentucky as it recognized a pro-Southern shadow state government that was acting without the authority of the pro-Union government in Frankfort. In 1869, women were granted the right to vote in the Wyoming Territory. In 1905, the O. Henry short story “The Gift of the Magi” was published in the New York Sunday World Magazine under the title “Gifts of the Magi.” In 1948, the U.N. General Assembly adopted its Universal Declaration on Human Rights. In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. received his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, saying he accepted it “with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind.” In 1967, singer Otis Redding, 26, and six others were killed when their plane crashed into Wisconsin’s Lake Monona; trumpeter Ben Cauley, a member of the group the Bar-Kays, was the only survivor. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev concluded three days of summit talks in Washington. Violinist Jascha Heifetz died in Los Angeles at age 86. In 1995, the first group of U-S Marines arrived in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo to join NATO soldiers sent to enforce peace in former Yugoslavia. In 1996, South African President Nelson Mandela signed the country’s new constitution into law during a ceremony in Sharpeville. In 2007, suspended NFL star Michael Vick was sentenced by a federal judge in Richmond, Virginia, to 23 months in prison for bankrolling a dogfighting operation and killing dogs that underperformed (Vick served 19 months at Leavenworth). Former Vice President Al Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize with a call for humanity to rise up against a looming climate crisis and stop waging war on the environment. In 2013, South Africa held a memorial service for Nelson Mandela, during which U.S. President Barack Obama energized tens of thousands of spectators and nearly 100 visiting heads of state with a plea for the world to emulate “the last great liberator of the 20th century.” (The ceremony was marred by the presence of a sign-language interpreter who deaf advocates said was an impostor waving his arms around meaninglessly.) General Motors named product chief Mary Barra its new CEO, making her the first woman to run a U.S. car company. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize with a humble acknowledgment of his scant accomplishments and a robust defense of the U.S. at war. James Cameron’s 3-D film epic “Avatar” had its world premiere in London. Five years ago: Current and former CIA officials pushed back against the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report released the day before which concluded that the United States had brutalized scores of terror suspects during interrogations, calling the report a political stunt by Senate Democrats which tarnished a program that saved American lives. NFL owners moved quickly and unanimously to change the league’s personal conduct policy, announcing it would hire a special counsel to oversee initial discipline. One year ago: Facing almost certain defeat, British Prime Minister Theresa May postponed a vote in Parliament on her Brexit deal, saying she would go back to EU leaders to seek changes to the divorce agreement.

Senate Democratic nificant inaccuracies or omissions” in applications leader Chuck Schumer J. Scott Applewhite | AP Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., speaks Monday on Capitol Hill in Washington about the report by the Justice Department’s internal watchdog that concluded the FBI was justified in opening its investigation into ties between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia and did not act with political bias. said it makes clear that the basis for the FBI’s investigation was “valid and without political bias.” Trump, in remarks at the White House, claimed it showed “an attempted overthrow and a lot of people were in on it.” The president has repeatedly said he is more eager for the report of John Durham, the handpicked prosecutor selected by Attorney General William Barr to conduct a separate review of the Russia probe. Barr and Durham both rejected the inspector general’s conclusion that there was sufficient evidence to open the FBI investigation. The attorney general’s reaction was especially unusual in that the head of the Justice Department typically would not take issue with an internal investigation that clears a department agency of serious misconduct. “The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken,” Barr said in a statement. Durham, in a brief statement, said he had informed the inspector general that he also didn’t agree with the conclusion that the inquiry was properly opened, and suggested his own investigation would back up his disagreement. In an interview with The Associated Press, FBI Director Chris Wray noted the report’s conclusion that political bias did not taint the opening of the investigation, or the steps that followed. But Wray said the inspector general found problems that are “unacceptable and unrepresentative of who we are as an institution.” The FBI is implementing more than 40 corrective actions, he said. The FBI’s Russia investigation, which was ultimately taken over by special counsel Robert Mueller, began in July 2016 after the FBI learned that a former Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, had been saying before it was publicly known that Russia had dirt on Democratic opponent Clinton in the form of stolen emails. Those emails, which were hacked from Democratic email accounts by Russian intelligence operatives, were released by WikiLeaks in the weeks before the election in what U.S. officials have said was an effort to harm Clinton’s campaign and help Trump. Months later, the FBI sought and received the Page warrant. Officials were concerned that Page was being targeted for recruitment by the Russian government, though he has denied wrongdoing and has never been charged with a crime. The inspector general also found that an FBI lawyer is suspected of altering an email to make it appear that an official at another government agency had said Page was not a source for that agency, even though he was. Agents were concerned that if Page had worked as a source for another government agency, the FBI would have needed to tell the surveillance court about that, the report said, and contacted the other agency to obtain additional information. But the FBI lawyer “did not accurately convey, and in fact altered, the information he received from the other agency,” the report said. The lawyer is not identified by name in the report, but people familiar with the situation have identified him as Kevin Clinesmith. The inspector general’s report said officials notified the attorney general and FBI director and provided them with information about the altered email. The inspector general conducted more than 170 interviews involving more than 100 witnesses, including former FBI director James Comey, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversaw the Russia investigation, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, along with FBI agents and analysts.

In an acrimonious daylong hearing, Democrats outlined their case against the president, saying Trump’s push to have Ukraine investigate rival Joe Biden while withholding U.S. military aid ran counter to U.S. policy and benefited Russia as well as himself. Trump and his allies railed against the “absurd” proceedings, with Republicans defending the president as having done nothing wrong ahead of the 2020 election. The outcome, though, appears increasingly set as Democrats prepare at least two, if not more, articles of impeachment against Trump, likely charging him with an abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. A Judiciary committee vote could come as soon as this week. “President Trump’s persistent and continuing effort to coerce a foreign country to help him cheat to win an election is a clear and present danger to our free and fair elections and to our national security,” said Dan Goldman, the director of investigations at the House Intelligence Committee. Republicans rejected not only Goldman’s conclusion as he presented the Intelligence Committee’s 300-page report on the Ukraine matter, but his very appear- ance before the Judiciary panel. In a series of heated exchanges, they said Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, should appear rather than send his lawyer. “Where’s Adam?” thundered Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee. “We want Schiff,” echoed Trump ally Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. From the White House, Trump tweeted repeatedly, assailing the “Witch Hunt!” and “Do Nothing Democrats.” The hearing set off a pivotal week as Democrats march toward a full House vote expected by Christmas. In drafting the articles of impeachment, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing a legal and political challenge of balancing the views of her majority while hitting the Constitution’s bar of “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Pelosi was meeting with her leadership team behind closed doors Monday evening. A crucial decision will be whether to include an obstruction charge from special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings as some liberals want or keep the impeachment articles focused on Urkaine as centrist Democrats prefer. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler was blunt as he opened the hearing, saying, “President Trump put himself before country.” The Meigs County Health Department (an EEO employer/provider) seeks a fulltime (35 hours per week) Health Educator to coordinate the Creating Healthy Communities Program.

During the meeting, the group members reviewed job shadow forms that have been created by the MC3 Planning Committee and will be used across all three school districts to help streamline the job shadowing process for local businesses. Workplace development specialists in attendance whole-heartedly endorsed the job shadowing program. Theresa Lavender, Ohio Means Jobs Program Administrator, stated that “In today’s economy, it is critical to prepare all students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in future learning, careers, and life. It is imperative we give students the opportunity to understand the local workforce demands and connect with the employers as they begin planning for their successful future.” Meigs County Career Compass also considered the perspectives of educators at the college/university level. During the meeting, University of Rio Grande President Ryan Smith addressed the ways that the university can help provide opportunities to meet our region’s needs and expressed his support for this initiative pointing out that “Rio Grande Community College is excited to be a part of the MC3 group that has a great vision and momentum behind it.” President Smith added, “We look forward to helping design pathways to prepare students for successful careers.” The group will meet again on April 14 in the Farmers Bank Community Room from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Local businesses who want to become involved are encouraged to contact Meigs High School Principal Travis Abbott or Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe.

Remembering Pearl Harbor By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP MASON — A ceremony remembering Pearl Harbor was held Saturday at noon on the levee at the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W./Lottie Jenks Memorial Park in Mason. The service was held by the Smith-Capehart American Legion Post 140 of New Haven and Stewart-Johnson V.F.W. Post 9926 of Mason. There were also members from other posts in the area who attended. As is tradition, a patriotic red, white and blue wreath was tossed into the Ohio River by Ronie Wheeler of the StewartJohnson post. This was done to remember those who lost their lives in the Pearl Harbor attack. In addition, a prayer was read and a gun salute given. The playing of “Taps” signified the close of the service. December 7 marked the 78th anniversary of when the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service launched a surprise attack against the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. More than 2,400 Americans were killed, 1,178 were injured, two U.S. Navy battleships were sunk, and 188 aircraft were destroyed. On Aug. 23, 1994, the U.S. Congress designated December 7 as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. American flags were flown at halfstaff until sunset Saturday to honor those who lost their lives.

Undefeated and owners of a 28-game winning streak, longest in the nation. The Clemson Tigers are one heck of a No. 3 seed. Clemson will play second-seeded Ohio State in prime time Dec. 28 in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, looking to make it three national championship in four seasons. “We’re just excited to be in it,” said Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who has spent much of the last month playing up how his team was being disrespected by being relegated to third in the rankings after starting the season No. 1 in the polls. The other semifinal matches No. 1 LSU and No. 4 Oklahoma. The selection committee revealed the pairings Sunday and the final four was no surprise. The only mystery involved which would be the top seed among three undefeated teams that have been hammering opponents most of the season. The 13-member committee went with Southeastern Conference champion LSU. The Tigers (13-0) will face the Big 12 champion Sooners (12-1) in the Peach Bowl, four hours before the Fiesta Bowl kicks off. “Anytime, anywhere, anybody, we ready to play,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said on ESPN. Clemson opened as a two-point favorite against the Buckeyes. LSU was an 11 1/2-point favorite against the Sooners. LSU used a convincing victory against Georgia on Saturday to move up. Ohio State (13-0) had been atop the committee’s rankings last week, but the Buckeyes slipped to No. 2 after coming from behind against Wisconsin to win the Big Ten title. The national championship game is Jan. 13 in New Orleans. The No. 1 seed has yet to win the CFP in five years. The Tigers and Buckeyes flip-flopped at No. 1 a couple of times throughout the committee’s six weeks of ranking teams and chairman Rob Mullens said the debate was similar each week. “Every weekend one of the them has done something to move above the other,” said Mullens, the athletic director at Oregon. “LSU’s performance against a No. 4 ranked Georgia compelled the committee to put them just ahead of Ohio State.” The rest of the New Year’s Six bowls were: — Oregon vs. Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. — Georgia vs. Baylor in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1. — Florida vs. Virginia in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30. — Memphis vs. Penn State in the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 28.

That left three undefeated Power Five champions, a fourth with one loss and nobody else with a legitimate case to claim a spot. The intrigue was about the top seed, knowing Clemson was likely locked into No. 3. The Tigers have been mauling opponents for the last two months, but the ACC has not provided Clemson any top-flight competition. Ohio State has five victories against CFP-ranked teams, including Wisconsin twice. LSU has four, all of which were ranked in the top 13. Clemson’s only game against a team that made the committee’s final rankings was its 62-17 victory Saturday against Virginia. Still, drawing Clemson, which hasn’t lost since the 2017 playoff semifinals against Alabama, rather than an Oklahoma team with five victories by a touchdown or less certainly seems like a tougher task for the Buckeyes. Clemson (13-0) is making its fifth straight playoff appearance, tying Alabama for the most. LSU is in the playoff for the first time, the only newbie in the field. The Tigers will likely bring the Heisman Trophy winner with them. Quarterback Joe Burrow capped a record-breaking season by throwing four more touchdown passes against Georgia in the SEC championship. Ohio State is making its third playoff appearance and first since 2016 after just missing out the previous two seasons. The Buckeyes won the first playoff championship in 2014. Their last appearance came after the 2016 season, when they were shut out by Clemson in the semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl. That was all under coach Urban Meyer. Now Ryan Day leads the Buckeyes, and in his first season as Meyer’s successor the Buckeyes have won each of their games by double-digit margins. ‘’Do I feel we should have been the 1 seed? Yeah. But LSU’s done an unbelievable job and what Joe (Burrow) has done,” Day said. “At the end of the day, you have to go beat the best to win a national championship, and Clemson certainly is that.” The Tigers are 3-0 all-time against Ohio State, all in the postseason. The Buckeyes enter the playoff with a 19-game winning streak, second only to Clemson’s streak. “We’ve played them a couple times, and this is easily the most talented and most complete Ohio State team that we’ve played,” Swinney said. Oklahoma is in the playoff for the fourth time, but has yet to win a game. This will be the third consecutive year the Sooners face an SEC team. Oklahoma and LSU have split two previous meetings: The Sooners won the 1950 Sugar Bowl and the Tigers won the BCS championship game at the Sugar Bowl in 2004. Former Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts is back in the playoff for the fourth straight year, this time with the Sooners after going three times with the Crimson Tide. Hurts follows Heisman winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray as quarterback transfers to find success in coach Lincoln Riley’s offense. LSU and Ohio State are also led by transfer quarterbacks. Burrow started his career at Ohio State before switching schools in 2018. Buckeyes quarterback Justin Fields was at Georgia last season. Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence led the Tigers to a national championship as a freshman last season, the first time since 1985 that happened. By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Picking up right where they left off. After winning the program’s fourth Class AA championship in West Virginia last winter, the Point Pleasant wrestling team opened its 2019-20 campaign by securing its first-ever title at the annual Lake Norman Duals held Saturday in the Tar Heel State. The event itself featured powerhouse programs from the likes of the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia and various other locations within the region, including West Virginia. On this day, however, the Big Blacks were simply too much for the competition after posting a combined 50-20 overall record that included 30 pinfalls over the course of five headto-head bouts. PPHS had five grapplers produce perfect 5-0 marks over the course of the tournament, with another quartet ending From page 6 (25 percent) from the line. The Raiders had three scorers reach double figures, led by Jordan Lambert with 13 points. Brandon Call collected 12 points in the win, while Mason Rhodes finished with 10 and made the team’s only-two threepointers. Rounding out the RVHS total were Dylan Fulks with four points, Jordan Burns with two and Cole Young with one. The Tornadoes were led by Arrow Drummer with 13 points on the strength of six field goals. Coltin Parker was next with nine points on a trio of threepointers, followed by Cole Steele with seven points. Landen Hill and Cade Anderson scored three points each in the setback, while Trey McNickle marked two. Both teams are back in action on Tuesday, with River Valley opening up Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division play at home against Meigs, and Southern welcoming Point Pleasant for a non-league bout.

It would be incorrect to say Ohio State did almost everything wrong in the first half of its 34-21 win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game on Saturday night and did everything right in the second half. But it wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration. After spotting Wisconsin leads of 14-0 and 21-7 in the first half, OSU roared back to score 27 unanswered points in the second half to move on to the College Football playoff with a 13-0 record. Wisconsin dropped to 10-3, with two of the losses coming against Ohio State. OSU’s regular-season win followed a similar pattern as Saturday night’s win. Wisconsin never led in that game but Ohio State scored the last 28 points to win 38-7. Justin Fields completed 19 of 31 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns, all three of them in the second half, and was named the championship game’s most valuable player. J.K. Dobbins rushed for 172 yards on 33 carries and scored Ohio State’s only touchdown in the first half. K.J. Hill caught 7 passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns. It was Ohio State’s third straight win in the Big Ten championship game. Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor rushed for 148 yards and scored a touchdown after gaining a total of 93 yards in the two other games he had played against OSU in his career.

Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM ALMANAC High/low Normal high/low Record high Record low in the second quarter, Ohio State rolled out some trickery when punter Drue Chrisman hit tight end Luke Farrell with a 21-yard pass. Three plays later, OSU was on Wisconsin’s 8-yard line, but that did not end well, either, when Fields fumbled and Wisconsin recovered at its 4-yard line with six minutes left in the first half. Ohio State was feeling a little better about itself after it drove 71 yards on 10 plays for a touchdown, which came on a two-yard run by J.K. Dobbins to cut the lead to 14-7 with 42 seconds left in the first half. But when Taylor had a 45-yard run on the first play after the kickoff, the Badgers were in scoring position and did score, on a 1-yard run by Coan to go up 21-7 at halftime. It took Ohio State just over a minute and a half into the second half to score at the end of a 5-play, 75-yard drive. A 50-yard pass from Fields to Olave got OSU into scoring position and a one-handed touchdown catch by tight end Jeremy Ruckert cut the lead to 21-14. Ohio State caught a break when Wisconsin punter Anthony Lotti dropped the snap and the Buckeyes recovered at Wisconsin’s 16-yard line on the Badgers’ next possession. Blake Haubeil’s 27-yard field goal after that turnover made it 21-17. Wisconsin’s kicking problems continued on their next possession when Collin Larsh missed a 48-yard field goal. Ohio State took the lead at 24-21 on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Fields to Hill with 2:23 left in the third quarter and never let it get away. A 13-yard touchdown pass from Fields to Hill and a 24-yard field goal by Haubeil in the fourth quarter pushed the lead to 34-21. “This team is unbelievable,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said as the Buckeyes celebrated on the field after their big comeback. “We knew this was going to be an emotional game. We have to give Wisconsin credit. They played their tails off in this game, but we said at halftime that we were going to find out what this team is made of inside. We’re going to find out about the character of this team. They came out and played unbelievable in the second half,” he said. Fields said, “I think the whole team knew that we didn’t play up to our potential in the first half. We got together and came out with confidence in the second half and just played our game.” “I had no idea it was going to happen like this, but everything happens for a reason and God put me here so I’m just grateful for my coaches, grateful for my teammates, and definitely grateful for Buckeye Nation,” he said about his first season in an Ohio State uniform. Wisconsin came out swinging when it won the coin toss, took the ball and jetted down the field on a 5-play, 83-yard scoring drive to go up 7-0 three minutes into the game. Wisconsin’s image has long been that it is a power running team, but on the first play quarterback Jack Coan fired a 27-yard pass to wide receiver Quintez Cephus. Three plays later, Taylor got loose for a 44-yard touchdown run. Ohio State has been shut out twice in the first quarter all season and both times came against Wisconsin. Wisconsin increased its lead to 14-0 with a 14-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that consumed 6:39 of the second quarter. Coan’s 11-yard touchdown run ended the drive.
