At NATO talks in Brussels, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Russia of “cheating at its arms control obligations” under the IntermediateRange Nuclear Forces Treaty. Pompeo warned that if Russia did not comply with the treaty’s terms within 60 days, Washington could activate a six-month notice period for leaving the 1987 pact. “Russia must return to full and verifiable compliance; Russia’s failure to do so will result in the demise of the INF Treaty,” Pompeo told reporters. “Our nations have a choice.

Monday, Dec. 10 Francisco Seco | AP The North Atlantic Council meets at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday as allied foreign ministers debate ways to dissuade Moscow from destabilizing Ukraine and respect a landmark Cold War-era nuclear treaty. our head in the sand or we take common sense action in response to Russia’s flagrant disregard for the expressed terms of the INF Treaty,” he said. The U.S. has shared intelligence evidence with its NATO allies that Russia’s new SSC-8 groundfired cruise missile could give Moscow the ability to launch a nuclear strike in Europe with little or no notice. The bilateral treaty between Washington and Moscow banned all landbased cruise and ballistic missiles with a range between 500 and 5,500 kilometers (310-3,410 miles). Russia says the range of the new system does not exceed 500 kilometers. Pompeo said Washington “would welcome a Russian change of heart” but that he has seen no indication that Moscow is likely to comply. U.S. allies in NATO said Tuesday they “strongly support the finding of the United States that Russia is in material breach of its obligations.” They called on Russia “to return urgently to full and verifiable compliance.” While Pompeo did not announce the end of the pact, its demise seems all but certain. “I regret that we now most likely will see the end of the INF Treaty,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, adding that “no arms control agreement will work if it is only respected by one party.” Stoltenberg said the 29 NATO allies will “collectively develop responses” should the treaty be abandoned, but he declined to say what they might be. Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, said he does not see the Russians returning to compliance under current conditions.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said he believes if the crown prince were put on trial, a jury would find him guilty in “about 30 minutes.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who demanded the briefing with Haspel, said there is “zero chance” the crown prince wasn’t involved in Khashoggi’s death. “There’s not a smoking gun. There’s a smoking saw,” Graham said, referring to reports from the Turkish government that said Saudi agents used a bone saw to dismember Khashoggi after he was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Graham said “you have to be willfully blind” not to conclude that this was orchestrated and organized by people under the crown prince’s command. Trump has equivocated over who is to blame for the killing, frustrating senators who are now looking for ways to punish the longtime Middle East ally. The Senate overwhelmingly voted last week to move forward on a resolution curtailing U.S. backing for the Saudi-led war in Yemen. It’s unclear whether or how that resolution will move forward. The vote last week allowed the Senate to debate the measure, which could happen as soon as next week, but senators are still in negotiations on whether to amend it and what it should say. Haspel met with a small group of senators, including leadership and the chairmen and top Democrats on the key national security committees, after senators in both parties complained that she didn’t attend an all-Senate briefing with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis last week. Pompeo and Mattis tried to dissuade senators from punishing Saudi Arabia with the resolution, saying U.S. involvement in the Yemen conflict is central to the Trump administration’s broader goal of containing Iranian influence in the Middle East. Human rights groups say the war is wreaking havoc on the country and subjecting civilians to indiscriminate bombing. The two men also echoed Trump’s reluctance to blame the crown prince. Pompeo said there was “no direct reporting” connecting the crown prince to the murder, and Mattis said there was “no smoking gun” making the connection. After that briefing, Graham threatened to withhold his vote on key legislation until he heard from Haspel. “I’m not going to blow past this,” he said. That afternoon, senators frustrated with the briefing and the lack of response to Khashoggi’s killing overwhelmingly voted to move forward with consideration of the Yemen resolution, 63-37. Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin said the briefing with Haspel “clearly went in to an evaluation of the intelligence” and was much more informative than the session with Mattis and Pompeo.

In speaking to the Daily Times on death penalty cases in general, The Ohio State University law professor Douglas Berman, advertised by OSU as an expert in the death penalty, said in addition to having to be found guilty of aggravated murder, in order to face the death penalty, capital suspects must be found guilty of at least one of 10 death penalty specifications or aggravating factors. As spelled out in the indictment against George Wagner III and the other three murder suspects and as read into the record by Deering during their arraignments, the death penalty specifications against the Wagners are committing an aggravated murder to cover up another alleged crime; committing aggravated murder as part of a course of conduct involving the purposeful killing or attempt to kill two or more persons; and, committing aggravated murder after committing or attempting to commit Crowds honor Bush for service By Calvin Woodward, Laurie Kellman and Ashraf Khalil Associated Press WASHINGTON — Soldiers, citizens in wheelchairs and long lines of others on foot wound through the hushed Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday to view George H.W. Bush’s casket and remember a president whose legacy included World War military service and a landmark law affirming the rights of the disabled. Bob Dole, a compatriot in war, peace and political struggle, steadied himself out of his wheelchair and saluted his old friend and one-time rival. As at notable moments in his life, Bush brought together Republicans and Democrats in his death, and not only the VIPs. Members of the public who never voted for the man waited in the same long lines as the rest, attesting that Bush possessed the dignity and grace that deserved to be remembered by their presence on a cold overcast day in the capital. “I’m just here to pay my respects,” said Jane Hernandez, a retired physician in the heavily Democratic city and suburbs. “I wasn’t the biggest fan of his presidency, but all in all he was a good sincere guy doing a really hard job as best he could.” Bush’s service dog, Sully, was brought to the Manuel Balce Ceneta | AP Former Sen.

Service dogs are trained to do that. The CIA also honored Bush, the only spy chief to become president, as three agency directors past and present joined the public in the viewing. In the midst of the period of mourning, first lady Melania Trump gave Laura Bush, one of her predecessors, a tour of holiday decorations at the White House, a “sweet visit during this somber week,” as Mrs. Bush’s Instagram account put it. And the Trumps visited members of the Bush family at the Blair House presidential guesthouse, where they are staying. Former President George W. Bush and his wife greeted the Trumps outside before everyone went in for the private, 20-minute visit. Although President Donald Trump will attend Bush’s national funeral service Wednesday, he is not among the eulogists announced by the Bush family, a list that includes George W. Bush. The others are Alan Simpson, the former senator and acerbic wit from Wyoming; Brian Mulroney, the former Canadian prime minister who also gave a eulogy for Ronald Reagan; and presidential historian Jon Meacham. People lined up before dawn to pay respects to the 41st president, a son and father of privilege now celebrated by everyday citizens for his common courtesies and depth of experience. “He was so qualified, and I think he was just a decent man,” said Sharon Terry, touring Washington with friends from an Indianapolis garden club. Said her friend Sue Miller, also in line for the viewing: “I actually think I underestimated him when he was in office. My opinion of him went up seeing how he conducted himself as a statesman afterward.” Fred Curry, one of the few African-Americans in line, is a registered Democrat from Hyattsville, Maryland, who voted for Bush in 1988, the election won by the one-term president. “Honestly I just liked him,” he said. “He seemed like a sincere and decent man and you couldn’t argue with his qualifications.” ple in the vehicle.

The tradition has been around for thousands of years, some giving credit to 16th century German Christians who brought decorated trees into their homes, others to pagans as well as Christians who decorated with fir tree branches as a sign of the coming spring. Whatever the reason, I like it. A lot! Almost extinct is the tradition of going out into the fields and forests to cut one’s own Christmas tree. That tradition has probably lost its Herb lustre do the fact that there are not Day as many rural landowners, or the Contributing increased protests by landowners columnist when people just arbitrarily stop by (usually by the dark of night) and chop down their evergreen trees. Some of my fondest memories are going out into the back fields of our farm with my dad and cutting down the family Christmas tree. First, the tree was always a cedar tree. They were more plentiful on our property than pine, and a cedar was the tree his family always selected. Often, the best cedar tree would come from the top of a much larger cedar tree, but it took a trained eye to spot the right one, and Dad seemed to have it. I keenly remember the smell of the cedar, especially when it was first brought into the house. These days, many of us put up the tree weeks before Christmas Day. However, the cedar tree generally came into the Day household the week either just prior to, or the week of Christmas, due to the rapid drying of the tree which could create a fire hazard. One special year that rises to the top of my Christmas tree harvest memories was a year when my sister Karen headed up the search. She was accompanied by her brothers, John and I, who quickly became her slaves and pack mules. We lost more than half of our tree crop as she would select the perfect one, which never met her approval after we had cut it down. “It looks different on the ground,” she would complain. Yeah, right. So often, the perfect Christmas tree looked exactly like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree when it was first brought into the house. One thing you might not understand if you never had a cedar tree is that no matter how you try, it never appears to be level. But once the huge Christmas light bulbs were wrapped around and around the tree, and we began adorning it with our homemade paper chains we learned to color and paste together, it was a sight fit for the Whitehouse. I can still see Mom tossing the ice cicles on the tree with amazing precision and accuracy, and they seemed to fall perfectly into symmetric location. I was in awe. Then, tinsel roping would wrap round and round the tree giving it that special sparkle. Mom would usually place a white sheet under the tree for skirting, as she said it looked like snow. And, it kind of did. It was perfect. The best of the best Christmas tree I remember was placed in the picture window of our neighbors. Each year, Esther and Ora Walker would put up a silver tinsel tree and adorn it with the most gorgeous shiny ornaments, and then place a lighted color wheel beneath it. My sister, brother and I would sit for hours watching it from across the field. It was so beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that a few years ago my wife Patty and I, by way of the help of a friend (Joe Mahan), found one of the original silver tinsel trees in a nearby town and purchased it. It is about two years older than I am, looks so much better than I do, and we put it up every year. Life has a way of making changes in our lives and pulling us away from the traditions and the feelings that came along with those traditions. I am happy to say that as life has progressed, much of that joy has returned. Of course, what makes it more special is knowing that while all these traditions are fun, Jesus is the real reason for the season, and He spent much of His ministry speaking about joy. The kind of joy He wants us all to have through Him. Merry Christmas. P.S. Come join us for Willard Parr’s retirement reception this Thursday, Dec. 6, from 5-7 p.m. at Southside Praise & Worship Center, 621 Southeast St., Hillsboro.

THEIR VIEW Christmas trees are a special tradition In today’s fast-paced, high-tech world, the ritual of a real Christmas tree captures the genuine spirit of the holidays. Decorating with live greens is an important way to connect with tradition, and to pass the special feeling of Christmas along to another generation. The fragrance of a fresh-cut Christmas tree really sets the mood for an old-fashioned family Christmas season. As convincing as some of today’s fake trees are, a real, live tree has another dimension that nothing man-made can replace. Live greens truly bring you closer to the spirit of the season. Instead of taking a fake Christmas tree out of a box and assembling it, why not treat your family to the magic of a fresh, live tree? Really fresh trees aren’t messy, and aren’t a fire hazard. The most important thing is that the tree be truly a pleasant citrus fresh the day you fragrance.

Being broke is only a temporary situation.” — Mike Todd American movie producer (1907-1958) Israel. In 1988, a federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted PTL founder Jim Bakker and former aide Richard Dortch on fraud and conspiracy charges. (Bakker was convicted on all counts; Dortch pleaded guilty to four counts and cooperated with prosecutors in exchange for a lighter sentence. Bakker was initially sentenced to 45 years in prison; the term was eventually reduced to eight years, and he served a total of about five.) Ten years ago: The Labor Department reported that an alarming half-million jobs had vanished in Nov. 2008 as unemployment hit a 15-year high of 6.7 percent. A judge in Las Vegas sentenced O.J. Simpson to 33 years in prison (with eligibility for parole after nine) for an armed robbery at a hotel room. (Simpson was released to parole on Oct. 1, 2017.) Death claimed actresses Nina Foch at age 84 and Beverly Garland at age 82. Five years ago: Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africa’s first black president, died at age 95. One year ago: Democratic congressman John Conyers of Michigan resigned from Congress after a nearly 53-year career, becoming the first Capitol Hill politician to lose his job amid the sexual misconduct allegations sweeping through the nation’s workplaces. In a bitterly contested runoff election, Atlanta voters narrowly chose Keisha Lance Bottoms as the city’s next mayor; a result that would be upheld after a recount requested by rival Mary Norwood. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Abuse From page 1 alcohol.

Lady Vikings slip past Meigs, 67-63 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com McARTHUR, Ohio — A game like that makes you look forward to the rematch. The Meigs and Vinton County girls basketball teams — who are scheduled to meet in Rocksprings on Jan. 14 — gave the fans their money’s worth on Monday at VCHS, with the host Lady Vikings pulling out a 67-63 victory in the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division opener for both teams. Vinton County (3-0, 1-0 TVC Ohio) — which won its first two games of the year by 37 and 35 points respectively — made five three-pointers in the opening eight minutes, but the Lady Marauders (3-1, 0-1) still led 21-18 at the end of the period, thanks in large part to four trifectas of their own. The Lady Vikings trimmed their deficit to one point, at 36-35, headed into the half, after outscoring Meigs by a 17-15 clip in the second period. The lone cold spell for the Lady Marauders came in the third quarter, as they were held to just two field goals, allowing the hosts to take a 53-45 advantage into the finale. In the final period, Meigs hit four three-pointers, one two, and 4-of-6 free throws, but the Lady Vikings did just enough — making two triples, one two-pointer, and 6-of-11 free throws — to seal the 67-63 win. For the game, Meigs was 12-of-19 (63.2 percent) from the free throw line, where VCHS was 9-of-16 (56.3 percent). The MHS offense was led by Kassidy Betzing with 22 points, coming on six two-pointers, one triple and a 7-of-10 day at the line. Becca Pullins made a game-high five trifectas on her way to 16 points, while Mallory Hawley hit one three pointer and finished with 11 markers. Madison Fields and Marissa Noble both made a pair of three-pointers for Meigs, finishing with eight and six points respectively. The Lady Vikings were led by Tegan Bartoe with 19 points, including 12 from long range. Morgan Bentley scored 15 in the win, Lacie Williams added 13, while Cameron Zinn had nine. Rounding out the VCHS total were Emily Jones, Myriah Davis and Josie Ousley, with six, three and two points respectively. Meigs returns to Larry R.

Lady Cats outlast ISJ, 41-40 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com ASHTON, W.Va. — It was far from perfect, but it still ended up being ‘purr-fect’ enough for these Lady Cats. Despite committing 29 turnovers, the Hannan girls basketball team still managed to do just enough on Monday night to open its 2018-19 season on a solid note following a thrilling 41-40 victory over visiting Ironton Saint Joseph in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Lady Wildcats (1-0) committed nine first quarter turnovers as the Lady Flyers (1-2) stormed out to a 10-4 advantage, but the hosts rallied by hitting 5-of-9 field goal attempts during a 14-8 second quarter surge that led to an 18-16 deficit at the break. Ironton St. Joe — which led by as many as eight points in the opening half — made a small 4-2 run to start the second half, but freshman Kaleigh Sturgeon scored eight straight Hannan points as part of an 8-3 run that gave the hosts a 26-25 cushion with 45 seconds remaining in the third canto. Halie Johnson tacked on a free throw with 22 seconds remaining to give the Lady Cats a 27-25 edge headed into the finale. ISJHS managed to tie Hannan girls basketball coach Kellie Thomas, middle, celebrates with her team after the Lady Cats pulled off a 41-40 victory over Ironton Saint Joseph on Monday night in Ashton, W.Va. the game at 29-all and completed an 8-3 run for a 33-30 cushion with 5:34 remaining, but the Purple and Gold were held scoreless over the next two minutes as Hannan made an 8-0 run to secure its largest lead of the night at 38-33 with 3:33 left in regulation. The Lady Flyers countered with a 7-2 surge over the next three-plus minutes as Faith Mahlmeister tied the game at 40-all following an offensive putback with 17 seconds remaining. Pammie Ochs was fouled on Hannan’s ensuing possession, and the senior sank the second of two free throws to give the Blue and White a slim 41-40 advantage with 13.8 seconds left. Ironton St. Joe came away with a pair of decent looks at a goahead bucket — including an offensive putback attempt by Mahlmeister from 10 feet out — but both shots ended up missing the mark. Julie Frazier hauled in the rebound while being surrounded by both teams, dribbled away from the crowd and simply waited for time to expire on Hannan’s season-opening triumph. As the horn expired, the Lady Cats jumped in celebration while making their way to the sideline — where HHS coach Kellie Thomas was being embraced by her coaching staff and bench players. Afterwards, Thomas spoke about her team’s growth and resiliency, as well as the collective contributions made in reaching this glorious outcome. “I’m so excited for these girls because they worked so hard all night long. At no point did they ever give up and we had a lot of different people contribute to the is win,” Thomas said. “We had some younger players come off the bench and make some big contributions, plus the girls just stepped it up when we needed to. “We have some momentum in getting this win and it’s an awesome feeling, but we cannot get cocky or lose focus of what we did tonight. We have another game in 24 hours and we need to play with the same intensity and effort that we did tonight. If we can play together for four quarters like we did tonight, we can have a pretty good season this winter.” See CATS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel RVHS falls to Alexander, 72-10 NFL All Times EST AMERICAN CONFERENCE East W L T Pct PF PA New England 9 3 0 .750 331 259 Miami 6 6 0 .500 244 300 Buffalo 4 8 0 .333 178 293 N.Y.

Another season was slipping away. There was no more time to lose. “Game day will be different for me,” Lewis said three weeks ago. “It will be a different approach, and it’ll be fun.” Scott Jones can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext 2106 Cats Wednesday, December 5, 2018 7 No fun. No victories. And now, virtually no hope. The Bengals (5-7) have unraveled the past three games, allowing more than 200 yards rushing twice while dropping all three and falling out of contention. A season that started with raised hopes at 4-1 has crashed with six losses in the past seven games. It’s their worst stretch of losing since they dropped 10 straight in 2010. And there’s no reason to think it’ll get much better in the final four games. The Bengals lost quarterback Andy Dalton to a torn ligament in his passing thumb a week ago. Receiver A.J. Green returned from a toe injury that sidelined him for three games, but aggravated it in the second quarter of a 24-10 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, likely ending his season.

Tagovailoa still seemed poised to head to New York as the favorite until last Saturday when he threw two interceptions and didn’t finish the Southeastern Conference championship game against Georgia because of a sprained ankle. Murray and Haskins, meanwhile, both had huge games on championship Saturday, adding some suspense to the race, but also separating themselves from the rest of the contenders. Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew II and West Virginia quarterback Will Grier had been in the Heisman mix for much of the season and put up numbers to rival Tagovailoa, Murray and Haskins, but both fell short of leading their teams to conference championship games.

Meigs County Commissioners 12/5/18 �SPORTS 10 Wednesday, December 5, 2018 Daily Sentinel Blue Angels roll Rock Hill, 63-37 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com CENTENARY, Ohio — All they’ve done is win, win, win… no matter what. The Gallia Academy girls basketball continued its perfect start to the season on Monday in Gallia County, as the Blue Angels defeated guest Rock Hill by a 63-37 tally in the Ohio Valley Conference opener for both squads. The Blue Angels (3-0, 1-0 OVC) scored the opening two points of the game, before the Redwomen (0-2, 0-1) tied the game at two. GAHS ended the period with an 18-0 run and never relinquished its lead. Gallia Academy’s edge grew as high as 20 points in the second quarter, but the margin was trimmed back to 18, at 35-17, by halftime. GAHS outscored its guest by an 18-to-10 clip in the third period and headed into the finale with a 53-27 advantage. The Blue Angels’ lead grew to a game-high 32 points with five minutes to play in regulation, and the hosts cruised to a 63-37 victory. After the win, firstyear GAHS head coach Jordan Deel was thrilled with his team’s defensive effort, as the Blue Angels allowed a season-low 37 points. “We came out and played excellent defense to start the game,” Deel said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the defensive effort tonight. There were spurts where we gave up some points, but overall I’m very pleased with our defense.

I think that’s what’s going to help us moving forward.” The 63 points poured in by the GAHS offense is also a season-best for the squad, something Deel credits to getting a more players in on the action. “We’re starting to execute our offense, starting to get different looks and get different players involved,” said Deel. “I can’t name one girl tonight, I’d feel bad doing that, it was a group effort and everybody contributed in some fashion.” For the game, the Blue Angels shot 27-of-58 (46.6 percent) from the field, including 4-of-14 (28.6 percent) from three-point range.

OSU coach Urban Meyer to retire after Rose Bowl COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Urban Meyer, the highly successful coach who won three national championships and sparked controversy this season for his handling of domestic violence allegations against a now-fired assistant at Ohio State, he will retire after the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, the school said Tuesday. The university did not say why Meyer was leaving after seven years at the Big Ten school, where he has an 82-9 record. The 54-year-old Meyer has previously cited health concerns; he has an arachnoid cyst in his brain that causes severe headaches, and had shown obvious effects of being in pain on the sideline this season. Mack Brown, who just got back into coaching at 67 years old with North Carolina last week, said Meyer called him at 6 a.m. to tell him the news and noted health issues. “The first thing he said is: ‘Are you crazy or what?’ And laughed. And then he said, ‘I’m stepping away,’” said Brown, who is in New York for his College Football Hall of Fame induction. “And he explained to me that he has the health issues and that’s totally the reason he’s stepping away, and it’s time for him to do that.” A news conference was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon with Meyer, school officials and co-offensive coordinator Ryan Day, who will take over as the 25th head coach of the storied program where Meyer won a national title in 2014 after two at Florida (2006, 2008). It was Day who led the Buckeyes when Meyer was suspended for three games to start this season over his role in the handling of assistant coach Zach Smith, who was accused by his exwife of domestic abuse. Meyer said he knew about the allegations against Smith — grand- OH-70093403 redsautocenter.com log onto www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailytribune.com www.mydailyregister.com and submit your photos PRE-QUALIFY WITHOUT AFFECTING YOUR CREDIT.

The university cited that lapse in suspending Meyer after an investigation. A report issued by an investigative committee left a lasting stain, detailing behavior by Meyer that could have taken down a coach of lesser stature. The investigation showed he tolerated bad behavior for years from Smith, including domestic-violence accusations, drug addiction, lies and other acts that directly clash with the values Meyer touts publicly. The announcement came as the Buckeyes begin preparations for the bowl game against Washington and less than three weeks before the early signing period, giving recruits time to change their minds. Former players were full of praise for Meyer. “Besides my parents, you were one of the most influential people to touch my life and I’m appreciative of that,” former Buckeyes linebacker Joshua Perry wrote on Twitter. Brown was coach at Texas from 1998-2013 and there were times he expected to face Meyer’s Florida teams in national championship games. They became friends during that time and grew closer after Brown left Texas. “(Meyer) told me that he couldn’t be animated at the level he needed to to energize the team and stay healthy. That’s the problem,” Brown said. The Buckeyes’ strong finish this season belied on-the-field problems that made for a stressful season for Meyer and his staff. He lost star defensive end Nick Bosa to an early seasonending injury, and the defense never fully recovered. The team alternated expected blowout wins with puzzling play that included a pair of onepoint wins (Penn State, Maryland) and a closerthan-expected win over a struggling Nebraska team. A startling blowout loss at unranked Purdue on Oct. 20 pushed Ohio State to the fringe of the national championship chase and prompted questions about Meyer’s future and he was forced to addressed speculation that he would step down at the end of the season. “I plan on coaching,” he said on Oct. 29. Asked if he would definitely return to Ohio State next year, he answered, “Yes.” Ohio State followed that with five straight wins, including a rout of archrival Michigan that gave the Buckeyes another division title and then pulled away for an easy win over Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship. The success was nothing new for Meyer, who was a standout coach at Utah before he left for Florida in 2005 and rocketed to the top of the college football coaching ranks, a peer of Alabama coach Nick Saban in terms of respect and ability. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
