POMEROY — Meigs County EMS recently received grant funding for equipment which could help save lives in the case of an emergency. Ohio Emergency Medical Services Director Mel House and Deputy Director Rob Wagoner made a stop in Meigs County to present a check to Meigs EMS Director Robbie Jacks for equipment and training. The county received $26,500 for the purchase of two CPR devices, as well as training expenses as part of the economic hardship grant program. Additionally, the county received $6,369 from the EMS Training and Equipment Grant. Paramedic Eric Liles explained that the new devices improve the quality of compressions able to be administered, particularly when in a moving ambulance. Liles added, that from personal experience since receiving the devices, the new devices allow for the paramedics to be move successful with saves than before. Additionally, they have received compliments from the hospitals on the overall status of the patients being brought in with the use of the new devices. Director House stated that presentations such as this one allow for himself and others to get out to the local agencies to see their respective needs. He noted that you cannot make decisions “sitting in Columbus”, as the need to understand how the decision will impact the agencies is important.

Students in 4th through 12th grades from Athens, Gallia, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton counties are eligible to participate in the event. Professor of History Sam Wilson said he is eager to see the research students have put into their projects. “We are thrilled to have History Day return to our campus. It’s exciting to see these young students taking an interest in history. Cohosting the event also gives us, as a university, more opportunities to interact with students thinking about pursuing a degree in history,” Wilson said. “History is relevant. It focuses on continuity and change in society. Studying history is the way we understand the connection between the past and the present, and better understand the situations that inﬂuence our current society. History Day is an opportunity for students to explore their own research into these topics.” Ohio History day is a co-curricular program led by the Ohio History Connection where students create a project tied to this year’s annual theme, “Triumph and Tragedy in History,” with a wide variety of presentation options ranging from history papers, museum-like exhibits, documentaries, websites, and even dramatic performances. Region 9 Coordinator for Ohio History Day and Education Consultant for the Gallia-Vinton ESC, David Moore said he is excited to work with Rio for History Day and continue to grow the ESC’s long-standing partnerships with the university. “The focus of Ohio History Day is to encourage kids to become curious about history, to study it and to learn from it.

From 1963 to 1966. Margays and Ocelots are not the size of big cats, still, a deep scratch, bite, or pounce from a 50 to 100-pound cat be tragic. As a trainer, it did not take long to learn that wild cats are not trained, rather they are tamed. Skunks are great pets. BUT, be sure to start with one that is deJohn P. sacked. I made the mistake of purSmith chasing one that was supposed to Contributing be…wasn’t…and four stores on 14th columnist street in downtown Washington closed that day. My Boa was named Noah. If you could straighten him out he’d push six and a half feet. Some snakes will not eat in captivity, Noah was one. Once a week I’d have a lottery-drawing of white mice. I’d take the chosen one by the tail, whack him on the counter to knock him out, and then force-feed him to Noah. The force-feed part sounds easy. It wasn’t, especially if Noah was moody. While Noah wrapped his body around mine, I’d force his mouth open, and with the eraser-end of a pencil, I’d push the whacked-out mouse down his throat. Birds are easy to train based on one concept. They always walk to the highest point. Therefore, scaling a ladder, traversing a tight rope, or walking from your arm to your shoulder is an easy trick, all based on the ‘highest point’ theory. Our ‘shop bird’ was a Military Macaw by the name of Ole Momma. Her wingspan was over three feet, and she could bend a small piece of metal with her beak. When she was out of her cage, she rested on a T-bar with a do not touch sign attached. She was a major attraction. Ignoring the sign, a know-it-all lady reached up to pet the chest of Ole Momma, who immediately jumped on the lady’s wrist while squawking and wildly ﬂapping her wings. Aghast, the woman dropped her arm, trying to shoo the big bird away. Ole Momma would have none of it. Based on the highest point theory, she skirted up the lady’s arm, to her shoulder, and removed an earring while the lady screamed, and our customers applauded, thinking we were providing entertainment. I retrieved Ole Momma while pointing to the ‘do not touch’ sign. The woman ran out of the store and never returned. Note: It’s not just the “do not” touch signs in pet shops that people have trouble with. I’ve come to realize that the words “do not” are somehow offensive to the human psyche. Those two words seem to challenge us, turn us into super-beings, and let lose within us an uncontrollable force of opposition. Other challenging examples that humans slave over; do not enter, do not turn, do not smoke, do not take drugs, do not lie, do not jay walk, do not text, do not kill your neighbor. Mynah birds are conundrums. They can talk, whistle, and ﬁnd the smallest sun ﬂower seed at the bottom of the food bowl. They are loud, outspoken, and they sling food everywhere. Note: always teach birds to talk before teaching them to whistle. If ﬁrst taught to whistle it is near impossible to get them to talk. Chimps are a challenge. Back in ’63, exotic pets were not difﬁcult to bring in to the US. We ordered one for a client and three months later a four-foot square wooden crate arrived at the shop. Hester had been boxed up for 48 hours, and from the sounds inside the crate, he was not a happy camper. At 70 pounds, he obviously was not the baby we ordered, rather he was at least two years old. I was given the challenge to uncrate him, and, knowing that God never created a monkey that wouldn’t bite at maturity, I was sweating profusely. I tried verbal enticement, food, and water. He wouldn’t budge. Finally, out of desperation, I balled my hand into a ﬁst, and reached in. He grabbed my ﬁst and put it in his mouth. I immediately realized this was not an act of aggression, if so, he could have taken my hand off. I leaned in the crate and soothingly, talked to him. The stalemate was on. Fifteen minutes later, he released my hand, bounded from the crate and jumped into my arms. Hester and I became best buds until he had to leave for his new home. Lastly, I want to tell you about Boomer, an attract-trained Doberman Pinscher. My boss told the client that I had a special knack with dogs and that I could de-synthesize the big dog. Boomer belonged to a local policeman, who had been shot on a drug bust. The cop was forced into retirement but could keep his dog. He had heard of the work my boss had accomplished with dogs and asked for our help. About midnight one evening, I was working with Boomer on 14th street when gunshots shattered storefront windows and burglar alarms screamed. I froze, until Boomer started pulling me in the direction of the gunﬁre. He wasn’t in a hurry. Each step seemed measured and calculated. A team of See ANIMALS | 5 THEIR VIEW Is your house in order? Do you know when an emergency will arise and you will ﬁnd yourself in an ambulance on the way to a medical facility? No. Perhaps you have a planned surgical procedure, and you are due at the hospital in 30 minutes and ﬁnd yourself asking, What if something goes wrong and I become incapacitated or die? The intellectual side of you knows that mishaps can and do happen on rare occasions, but that emotional side of you is certain that this has nothing to do with you. Last week, I found myself on the phone with my oldest son telling him to take notes about my assets and liabilities 30 minutes before I was due at Upper Valley Medical Center for a routine surgical procedure.

Russo Associated Press The College Football Playoff semiﬁnalists combined to place 10 players on The Associated Press All-America ﬁrst team, including a high of four from No. 1 Alabama. The Crimson Tide had six players chosen to the three All-America teams, more than any other school. No. 2 Clemson has three ﬁrst-teamers, No. 4 Oklahoma has two All-Americans — including quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray — and No. 3 Notre Dame had one. The Tide and Sooners meet in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 29 and the Tigers play the Fighting Irish at the Cotton Bowl that day. The winners meet in the College Football Playoff national championship game Jan. 7 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The playoff teams combined for 17 overall selections on the teams chosen by a panel of AP poll voters and released Monday. The Tide placed two players on each side of the ball, with Outland Trophy winner Quinnen Williams highlighting the defense. Receiver Jerry Jeudy, offensive tackle Jonah Williams and safety Deionte Thompson also made the ﬁrst team while Tua Tagovailoa was the second-team quarterback. Tagovailoa ﬁnished second behind Murray in the Heisman voting on Saturday. Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins was the third-team quarterback after ﬁnishing third in the Heisman voting. Clemson placed defensive linemen Christian Wilkins and Clelin Ferrell on the ﬁrst team, and offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt. Cornerback Julian Love represented Notre Dame on the ﬁrst team. Clemson, Oklahoma and LSU each had four players on the three teams, trailing only Alabama. Notre Dame, Kentucky, Iowa, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Washington and Wisconsin each had three overall selections.

Meanwhile, the hosts were 11-of-54 (20.4 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 1-of-8 (12.5 percent) from deep. At the free throw line, WHS was 8-of-18 (44.4 percent), while SHS was 5-of-9 (55.6 percent). The Lady Falcons earned a 38-to-23 rebounding advantage, including 16-to-10 on the offensive glass.

The Lady Spartans, conversely, nailed 6-of-11 ﬂoor shots and received a perfect 3-of-3 effort from Jadyn Mace on shots from behind the arc. Meeks also scored six points on the inside during the surge. The Lady Marauders ended up holding their own against the bigger, stronger Lady Spartans after being outrebounded by a slim 22-20 overall margin, which also included a 9-8 deﬁcit on the offensive glass. Meigs ended up committing 10 of its 18 turnovers in the second half, while the guests had six giveaways in each half of action. Afterwards, MHS coach Jarrod Kasun noted that the third quarter played a large roll in the ﬁnal outcome. The third-year mentor also mentioned that the Lady Spartans used their strength to their advantage, and that his troops simply couldn’t match that level of aggressiveness. “They made some shots and they had some players step up and hit some big threes there in the second half,” Kasun said. “Their physicality hurt us, but a lot of that comes down to how the game is ofﬁciated. We are more of a skilled, sleek, not-very-physical team, and Alexander is the one team that we have problems with because of their physicality. “The third quarter was just a killer. They jumped out on us and hit a few shots, and we hit a little bit of a lull … and it just kind of steam-rolled from there. We ran out of gas late and it is what it is. Alexander played a great game and deserved to win.” The Lady Marauders connected on 14-of-37 ﬁeld goal attempts for 38 percent, including a 3-of15 effort from behind the arc for 20 percent. The hosts were also 13-of-20 at the free throw line for 65 percent. Kassidy Betzing led Meigs with 14 points, followed by Madison Fields and Mallory Hawley with seven markers apiece. Marissa Noble was next with ﬁve points, while Becca Pullins and Alyssa Smith completed the respective scoring with four points and one point. Betzing, Hawley and Taylor Swartz led the hosts with four rebounds apiece, while Pullins also hauled in three caroms. Alexander netted 18-of45 ﬁeld goal attempts for 40 percent, including a 7-of-15 effort from 3-point range for 47 percent. The Red and Black were also 7-of-14 at the charity stripe for 50 percent. McKena Rice led AHS with a game-high 17 points, followed by Mace with 13 points and Meeks with 10 markers. Rachel Richardson was next with eight points, while Sydnie Bolin and Mallory Rankin completed the winning tally with four markers each. Rice and Meeks led the Lady Spartans with six rebounds apiece. Richardson also hauled in four boards in the triumph. Meigs returns to action Thursday when it travels to Bidwell to face River Valley in a TVC Ohio contest at 6 p.m. Wahama and Shelby Cleland added a rejection apiece.

Whether or not what Wagner did was entirely legal, he frankly didn’t care. “I’m not stressing about that. I made the play. They called what they called,” Wagner said. “There’s times in games where things happen all the time. I’m not stressing on it. It was a big block and we’ll deﬁnitely take it. It was amazing.” Wagner’s block midway through the fourth quarter was the catalyst in a 21-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night that pushed Seattle to the brink of a playoff berth. Chris Carson followed the blocked kick with a 2-yard TD run with 2:53 left, and Justin Coleman capped off the Seahawks’ fourth straight victory with a 29-yard fumble return for a touchdown 18 seconds later.

Wagner’s jump through a gap in Minnesota’s offensive line was ﬁne, but it appeared he used his teammates to gain leverage, which allowed him to come through and block the kick. A ﬂag was initially thrown but was picked up by the ofﬁcials. Wagner said he attempted it four times in practice without a problem but acknowledged it could be tough to pull off the play during the fourth quarter of a tight game. “When I did it in practice I was pretty fresh,” Wagner said. Zimmer said he asked for an explanation of what happened but wasn’t given one. He was told he couldn’t challenge. “Quite honestly, I didn’t see what happened. I was told what happened,” Zimmer said.

One win in Seattle’s ﬁnal three games — including matchups with lowly San Francisco and Arizona — should be enough to put the Seahawks into the postseason. “It’s really about the defense. I loved the way they played, they played so hard and so spirited,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “It was almost poetic after last week’s game that Bobby would get to block the ﬁeld goal and he pulled it off and did it. That was an incredible play.” Minnesota (6-6-1) twice had scoring chances in the fourth quarter when it was still a onescore game but was turned away each time. Minnesota’s chances of winning the NFC North took a major hit with its second straight loss, but the Vikings still hold the No. 6 spot in the NFC. “Part of it is being better on third downs.

Terrill | AP Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Darius Philon, top, sacks Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel (6) on a two-point conversion attempt late in the fourth quarter Sunday in Carson, Calif. Bengals’ hopeful season crashes CINCINNATI (AP) — Jeff Driskel was better in his second NFL start. Joe Mixon ran for more than 100 yards. A historically bad defense held its own after a rough start. With all that, the Bengals still couldn’t get the one thing they really need. “Need a win, and everything’s better,” coach Marvin Lewis said Monday. They haven’t had one of those since October, leaving Cincinnati (5-8) in a freefall that’s taken it from the top of the AFC North all the way to the bottom. A 26-21 loss to the Chargers was their ﬁfth straight and their seventh in eight games, dropping them behind Cleveland into last place. The Bengals haven’t ﬁnished last since 2010, when they went 4-12 overall and lost 10 in a row — their worst losing streak in Lewis’ 16 seasons. They dropped the ﬁrst eight games of the 2008 season, when they went 4-11-1. Their current ﬁve-game drought is the third-longest under Lewis. Lady Hornets sting Gallia Academy, 58-28 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com COAL GROVE, Ohio — A case of the Mondays. The Gallia Academy girls basketball team suffered its third straight setback on Monday in Lawrence County, dropping a 58-28 decision to Ohio Valley Conference host Coal Grove. The Lady Hornets (2-2, 2-1 OVC) led 19-4 eight minutes into play and stretched their lead to 37-8 by halftime. The Blue Angels (3-3, 1-2) had their best quarter of the night in the third, outscoring CGHS 14-to-9, but the hosts ended the game with 12-6 run for the 58-28 ﬁnal. GAHS was 11-of-34 (32.4 percent) from the ﬁeld and 5-of-7 (71.4 percent) from the free throw line in the contest, while Coal Grove was 26-of-62 (41.9 percent) from the ﬁeld, and 3-of-7 (42.9 percent) from the stripe. Maddy Petro paced the Blue and White with 11 points, followed by Abby Cremeans with nine, including the team’s only three-pointer. Hunter Copley had four points in the setback, while Junon Ohmara and Jenna Meade scored two apiece. Addi Dillow led the victors with 15 points, followed by Destiny Dolen with 11 and Lauren Crum with nine. Baylee McKnight had eight points in the win, Kaleigh Murphy added six, Jaiden Grifﬁth picked up four, Abbey Hicks came in with three, while Ellie Holmes contributed two. These teams are slated to meet again on Jan. 24 in Centenary. Gallia Academy will be back in its home gym on Thursday to face South Point. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. Rebels 3rd at Paul Blazer meet ASHLAND, Ky. — Good things come in threes. The South Gallia wrestling program came away three individual champions and third place overall on Saturday at the 2018 Tomcat Invitational held at Paul Blazer High School in the Bluegrass State. The Rebels — in their third year of existence — had a half-dozen top-six performances and ﬁve weight class ﬁnalists at the 11-team event, which allowed the Red and Gold to post a third place team tally of 169 points. Sheldon Clark won the event with 197.5 points, edging out host Paul Blazer (192) for the overall top spot. SCHS, PBHS and the Rebels each came away with an event-high three divisional champions, while Lincoln County and Spring Valley earned two titles apiece. There were no entrants for the 106-pound weight class, so only 13 divisional competitions were held. Justin Butler (160), Chad Bostic (170) and Kenny Siders (182) went unbeaten while winning their respective weight class crowns. Butler and Bostic each went 5-0 overall with four pinfalls, while Siders scored four pinfalls en route to a 4-0 mark. Jacob Birtcher was the 138-pound runner-up with a 3-1 record that included three pinfall wins. Tanner Dennison was also second in the heavyweight division with four pinfalls and a 4-1 mark. Caleb Johnson also came away with sixth place at 195 pounds, while Jessica Luther was eighth overall at 132 pounds.

He decided to go for a 2-point conversion in the second quarter trailing 14-12, and it failed. He also decided to go for it on fourth-andinches from the Cincinnati 35-yard line on the opening drive of the second half. Mixon was stopped short, leaving the Chargers in range for a ﬁeld goal. “It was fourth down and 4 inches basically,” Lewis said. “It’s aggressive, but it is 4 inches. We’ve got to be able to pick that up.” Otherwise, Mixon had one of his best games , carrying a career-high 26 times for 111 yards and a touchdown. Driskel was 18 of 27 for 170 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions during his second start in place of Andy Dalton, out for the season with a torn thumb ligament. Driskel led the Bengals to a touchdown with 1:54 left, but he was sacked while trying to throw for a tying 2-point conversion. The Chargers recovered an onside kick and added a ﬁeld goal that ﬁnished it off.

That win they need? As elusive as a playoff victory, something they haven’t gotten since the 1990 season. Cincinnati ﬁnishes its home schedule Sunday against the Oakland Raiders (3-10), who are coming off a 24-21 victory over Pittsburgh . The Bengals will likely have one of the smallest crowds in Paul Brown Stadium history. Their previous home game, a 24-10 loss to Denver, drew only 44,392 fans. The smallest crowd in the stadium’s 19-year history came in 2011, when they drew 41,142 for a game against Buffalo. The Bengals are averaging 51,637 fans this season, the secondsmallest attendance in stadium history behind the 2011 season. Any hopes for a strong ﬁnish ended in Los Angeles when a few outof-character coaching decisions and a couple of unfathomable penalties led to another loss.

Driskel dived toward the end zone in the second quarter and slid in for what was initially ruled a touchdown, but he landed inches shy of the goal line and the ball was spotted there. Under the rule, a runner who dives is down where they touch the ground, an effort to protect them from hits. A penalty for a false start on the next play forced the Bengals to settle for a ﬁeld goal. “It’s an unintended consequence of the (rule) change that’s made,” Lewis said Monday. “And that’s what happens when people don’t think about all the parts of it.” WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Maybe a lot. Following the lead of their brash, rocket-armed rookie quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld, who is getting better by the week, the Browns believe in more than themselves and each other. With three games left in a season they’ve turned from being another Cleveland calamity into a stunning success, they haven’t given up on making the playoffs. They’re alive, barely. But they’re alive, mathematically. “You are looking at a hungry team,” wide receiver Jarvis Landry said after scoring two touchdowns in Sunday’s 26-20 win over Carolina. “You are looking at a hungry town.” Although they’re facing nearly impossible odds — several websites give them a 1 percent chance — of winning out and reaching the postseason for the ﬁrst time since 2002, the Browns (5-71) haven’t lost faith. Not an ounce. This team appears unmoved by challenges considering where it was in October amid another coaching change and following some tough, close losses Cleveland would love to have back. The Browns have won three of their past four games under interim coach Gregg Williams, whose one-meeting-at-atime, one-practice-at-a- that swung on a reversed call or losing at Tampa Bay on a 59-yard ﬁeld goal in OT. However, Williams won’t let the Browns, who play at Denver (6-7) on Saturday, reﬂect on anything other than their near future. “You can’t waste your time thinking about those things,” he said. “You can’t change that. The only thing that you do have an impact on is what is up next.” And while Williams’ leadership has been invaluable and polished his resume for any future job, Mayﬁeld’s the one leading Cleveland’s charge. The No. 1 overall draft pick had another strong David Richard | AP Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield celebrates after game, completing 18 of throwing a 51-yard touchdown pass during the first half Sunday 22 passes — three were against the Carolina Panthers in Cleveland. dropped — for 238 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers.

The Bucks had beaten the Eastern Conferenceleading Toronto Raptors on the road the night before for a signature victory. Giannis Antetokounmpo was a last-minute scratch on Monday with neck soreness. The 20-loss Cavaliers were in town. Milwaukee had lost to the similarly struggling Suns and Knicks earlier this season, signaling a propensity to lose focus against lower-division foes. No such problem against the Cavs. Eric Bledsoe had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and the Milwaukee Bucks shot 52 percent from 3-point range in the ﬁrst half of a 108-92 win to put the game out of reach early. “We’re just trying to build something special. We had a good win in Toronto and we just wanted to capitalize on that tonight,” Bledsoe said. Malcolm Brogdon scored 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting, while Sterling Brown had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Bucks. Steelers’ playoff hopes iffy after pratfall in Oakland PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin acknowledged his team’s spotty track record in Oakland before the AFC North leaders headed west last week but added “it’s not a major component of logistical preparation.” Maybe, but history ended up repeating itself anyway in a 24-21 loss to the team tied with the worst record in the league on Sunday, one who has bailed on this season to build toward the future but found three hours of sustained competence while keeping Pittsburgh winless in Oakland this millennium. The Steelers (7-5-1) let the Raiders drive the length of the ﬁeld twice for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, yielding much in the same way they did in the second half of a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers a week earlier. What seemed like a relatively easy path to a ﬁfth straight playoff berth during a six-game winning streak has become decidedly more perilous. “You can tell the whole locker room is sick,” safety Sean Davis said. “We’re just going to take it personal. Continue to work. Keep our heads up. We have three more guaranteed (games).” The only sureﬁre way for Pittsburgh to earn the right to play into January is beat New England — something it’s done just twice in the past 11 meetings — at home next Sunday, then topple NFC-leading New Orleans on the road before ﬁnishing up at Heinz Field against Cincinnati, which knows a thing or two about playing spoiler . Last season the Bengals stunned the Ravens on Andy Dalton’s 49-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd on a fourth-and-12 play with 49 seconds left that sent the Bengals to a 31-27 win that kept Baltimore out of the playoffs and gave the Bills their ﬁrst postseason appearance since 1999. “We all need to look in the mirror and ﬁgure out what’s going on,” Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “It starts with each individual. We have to look inside ﬁrst.” The view might not be particularly pretty at the moment — literally — for Roethlisberger. The 36-year-old spent most of the second half on the bench with an unspeciﬁed rib injury only to be forced back into action when the Raiders took the lead with just over ﬁve minutes to go. He went a perfect 6 for 6 on the ensuing drive, capping it with a 1-yard touchdown pass to JuJu SmithSchuster. Roethlisberger — with more than a little help from Smith-Schuster — nearly pulled off a stunner when the Steelers ran a perfectly executed hook-and-lateral on the penultimate snap that put Pittsburgh easily within makeable ﬁeld goal range for Chris Boswell. Roethlisberger ﬁnished 25 of 29 for 282 yards and two touchdowns, looking so fresh at the end that Tomlin’s explanation that the team stuck with backup Josh Dobbs for four series because the Steelers were “in the ﬂow of the game” seemed bafﬂing. “I was just waiting for coach to tell me when to go,” said Roethlisberger, who expects to be ready to face the Patriots (9-4). The handling of Roethlisberger was just one of several ultimately dubious decisions by Tomlin, who opted not to call timeout with the Raiders driving in the ﬁnal minute to make sure Roethlisberger had plenty of time to work with just in case the Raiders scored.
