Meigs no longer top in jobless numbers
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

OHIO VALLEY —
After several months
in the top two in unemployment in the state of
Ohio, Meigs County now
ﬁnds itself at No. 4.
Dropping from a rate
of 8.5 percent in August
to 6.9 percent in the September numbers released
by the Ohio Department
of Job and Family Services, Meigs County is now
behind Trumbull (7.9
percent), Mahoning (7.5
percent) and Monroe
(7.0 percent) counties.
Gallia County, with a
September rate of 5.5

percent, is tied for 16th
with Columbiana County.
Mercer County continues to hold the state’s
lowest unemployment
rate at 2.8 percent, down
from 3.2 percent in
August.
Ohio’s unemployment
rate was 5.3 percent
in September 2017,
down from 5.4 percent
in August 2017. Ohio’s
non-agricultural wage
and salary employment increased 10,500
over the month, from
a revised 5,546,500 in
August to 5,557,000 in
September 2017.
The number of workers
unemployed in Ohio in

September was 305,000,
down 6,000 from
311,000 in August. The
number of unemployed
has increased by 21,000
in the past 12 months
from 284,000. The September unemployment
rate for Ohio increased
from 5.0 percent in September 2016.
The U.S. unemployment rate for September
was 4.2 percent, down
from 4.4 percent in
August, and down from
4.9 percent in September
2016.
Ohio’s non-agricultural
wage and salary employment increased 10,500
over the month, from

a revised 5,546,500 in
August to 5,557,000 in
September 2017, according to the latest business
establishment survey
conducted by the U.S.
Department of Labor
(Bureau of Labor Statistics) in cooperation with
ODJFS.
Employment in goodsproducing industries, at
914,200, increased 3,100
over the month due to
gains in manufacturing
(+2,600) and construction (+500). Employment in mining and
logging did not change
from August. The private
service-providing sector, at 3,866,500, added

7,400 jobs. Employment gains in trade,
transportation, and
utilities (+6,200), educational and health services
(+4,600), and leisure
and hospitality (+2,900)
surpassed losses in ﬁnancial activities (-2,400),
other services (-2,200),
information (-1,000), and
professional and business
services (-700). Government employment, at
776,300, did not change
over the month as losses
in local government
(-7,200) offset gains in
state (+6,900) and federal (+300) government.

It is a story that has become all too familiar
for many in Ohio and beyond, with people facing
increasingly high prices for prescription drugs,
sometimes to the point where people are delaying treatments or choosing between paying for
prescriptions or paying rent. Coupled with concerns over pharmaceutical company proﬁts versus
research and development costs, this situation has
fostered resentment on the part of consumers and
the desire to see something done to bring drug
prices down.
Enter Ohio Issue 2, a proposed law that would,
according to the ballot issue language, “require
the State of Ohio, including its state departments,
agencies and entities, to not pay more for prescription drugs than the price paid by the United States
Department of Veterans Affairs.” Currently, the VA
is given a 24 percent discount when it purchases
prescription drugs for veterans.
If passed by voters Nov. 7, this measure would
apply to Ohioans on government-administered prescription plans, such as those receiving assistance
through Medicaid as well as government employees. That group represents about one in three
Ohioans. Those on employer-sponsored insurance
would not be eligible.

For Ohio Taxpayers for Lower Drug Prices, the

Mick Davenport speaks to the crowd gathered for Thursday evening’s Meigs County Democrat
dinner.

Meigs County Democrats rally
By Lorna Hart
Special to the Sentinel

POMEROY — Carpenters’ Hall on Main
St. in Pomeroy was the
venue for Meigs Democratic Party get-together Thursday evening.
Party members
came together to enjoy
“food drinks, and great
fellowship” as they
introduced local township candidates and
listened to speakers
from the Meigs County
Public Library and Rio
Grande Community
College.
Mike Struble presented information
on the Meigs County
District Public Library
renewal levy and asked
the group for support.
He encouraged posting
yard signs and distributing informational ﬂyers that are available at
the library.
He said there is some
confusion on what the
levy money is spent
on, and he wanted to
make clear that is was
for operating expenses

only.
“This money is used
to keep the light on in
the county libraries,
and to allow the library
to continue to serve the
community,” he said.
Struble shared that
levy funds pay for 24/7
access to WiFi, public
computers, one-on-one
technical assistance,
children’s events and
on-site school visits, to
name a few.
“It is important for
voters to understand
this is a renewal, and
the funds generated
are for operational
expenses only. None of
the levy money went to
the remodeling of the
Pomeroy Library, the
building fund was used
for that, and it is totally
separate from the operating budget.”
Mick Davenport
spoke on behalf of the
Rio Grande Community College replacement levy on the Nov.
7 ballot.
“Their ﬁrst levy was
established in 1974
and based on property

values at that time.
Now 43 years later,
Rio is asking the community to support one
to replace it, one that
would be based on
current property valuations.”
“Cost for the college
have gone up since
the original levy was
passed. We want to
keep tuition down and
expand offerings to
students, and this levy
will help do that,” said
Davenport.
He said the increase
to property owners will
be approximately $2 on
a $100,000 property.
“Rio is important to
the community, providing employment and
no-coast classes for
high school students.
Eighty percent of Rio’s
full-time employees
live in the four-county
area,” Davenport said.
“ If you think Rio is a
good value and a vital
part of our community,
vote yes.”

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — State funding is
sustaining the emergency
response to a 4-day-old ﬁre
at a warehouse in Parkersburg, West Virginia Gov. Jim
Justice said.
Justice on Tuesday toured
the 420,000-foot warehouse
property owned by Intercontinental Export Import Inc.,
or IEI Plastics. According
to its website, the company
buys and sells an array of
recycled plastics worldwide.
The main ﬁre was put
out Saturday, although
smoke continued to pour
from the site as ﬁreﬁghters
clear debris and work to
extinguish hot spots. More
than 40 ﬁre stations from
Ohio and West Virginia have
responded.
The cause of the ﬁre is
unknown and there have
been no reports of injuries.
At a news conference, Justice
pledged to use every available resource to help with
the ﬁreﬁghting effort and
investigation.
“You’re ﬁghting Godzilla
and you’ve done that with
sticks and stones and you’ve
done a tremendous job,” the
governor said in a room that
included emergency responders and local ofﬁcials. “So
you should be really proud of
yourselves.”
Justice said he stepped in
with an emergency declaration Monday to keep state
funds ﬂowing into Wood
County after a ﬁreﬁghting
contractor said it was willing
to leave.
Wood County Commission President Blair Couch
said at the news conference
that county ofﬁcials couldn’t
afford to ﬁght the ﬁre without the state’s assistance.
Residents pummeled Justice and other ofﬁcials with
questions about the safety
of their health, including air
and water quality.
Justice said 150 air samples have been taken in different locations since Saturday, and all have been within
acceptable levels. Residents
susceptible to breathing
problems near the plant have

Race is engulfed in dog-doping scandal
Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska
— Cycling. Baseball.
Track. Horse racing.
Now dogsledding has
become the latest professional sport to be
engulfed in a doping
scandal, this one involving the huskies that dash
across the frozen landscape in Alaska’s grueling, 1,000-mile Iditarod.
The governing board
of the world’s most
famous sled dog race disclosed Monday that four
dogs belonging to Dallas
Seavey tested positive
for a banned substance,
the opioid painkiller Tramadol, after his secondplace ﬁnish last March.
It was the ﬁrst time
since the race instituted
drug testing in 1994 that
a test came back positive.
Seavey strongly denied
giving any banned
substances to his dogs,
suggesting instead that
he may have been the
victim of sabotage by
another musher or an
animal rights activist.
He accused the Iditarod
of lax security at dogfood drop-off points and
other spots.
Race ofﬁcials said he
will not be punished
because they were
unable to prove he
acted intentionally. That
means he will keep his
titles and his $59,000 in
winnings this year.
But the ﬁnding was
another blow to the
Iditarod, which has
seen the loss of major
sponsors, numerous dog
deaths, attacks on competitors and pressure
from animal rights activists, who say huskies are
run to death or left with

Dallas Seavey, shown with his lead dogs Reef, left, and Tide
after finishing the 2016 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Nome,
Alaska, denies he administered banned drugs to his dogs in the
2017 race, and has withdrawn from the 2018 race in protest. The
Iditarod Trail Committee on Monday identified Seavey as the
musher who had four dogs test positive for a banned opioid pain
reliever after finishing the race last March in Nome.

seized on the scandal
Tuesday.
“If a member of the
Iditarod’s ‘royalty’ dopes
dogs, how many other
mushers are turning to
opioids in order to force
dogs to push through
the pain?” PETA said in
a statement. It added:
“This doping scandal is
further proof that this
race needs to end.”
Fern Levitt, director
of the documentary
“Sled Dogs,” an expose
on the treatment of the
huskies, said, “The race
is all about winning and
getting to the ﬁnish line
despite the inhumane
treatment towards the
dogs.”
Seavey won the annual
Anchorage-to-Nome trek
in 2012, 2014, 2015 and
2016 and has had nine
straight top-10 ﬁnishes.
He ﬁnished second this

“I’m probably the only
person in the world that
knows deﬁnitively I did
not give a drug to my
dog. I’ve never used a
banned substance in the
race,” the 30-year-old
Seavey said in an interview. He said Tramadol
is not used at his kennel, and it is “incredibly
unlikely” it was accidentally administered by
anyone on his team.
Instead, he accused
the Iditarod of inadequate security at
checkpoints along the
route where dog food is
dropped off weeks ahead
of time and at the dog
lot in Nome, where thousands of huskies are kept
after the race before they
are ﬂown home.
“Unfortunately I do
think another musher is
an option,” he said. He
added: “There are also
people who are not fans
of mushing as a whole.
They are numerous
videos out that are trying to say mushing is a
bad thing. And I can see
somebody doing this to
promote their agenda.”
Seavey said whoever

gave the drug to the
dogs knew it would
cause a positive test, and
“that should make me
and my people the least
likely suspect.”
Earlier this year, the
Iditarod lost a major
corporate backer, Wells
Fargo, and race ofﬁcials
accused animal rights
organizations of pressuring the bank and other
sponsors with “manipulative information” about
the treatment of the
dogs.
Five dogs connected
to this year’s race died,
bringing total deaths to
more than 150 in the Iditarod’s 44-year history,
according to PETA’s
count. And last year, two
mushers were attacked
by a drunken man on a
snowmobile in separate
assaults near a remote
village. One dog was
killed and others were
injured. The attacker
was given a six-month
sentence.
Seavey said he has
withdrawn from next
year’s race in protest
and expects the Iditarod
Trail Committee to ban
him anyway for speaking
out. Mushers are prohibited from criticizing the
race or sponsors. Iditarod spokesman Chas St.
George said a ban would
be up to the committee’s
board of directors.
The committee decided to release the name of
the offending musher on
Monday after scores of
competitors demanded
it do so. Race ofﬁcials
initially refused because,
they said, it was unlikely
they could prove the
competitor acted intentionally and because a
lawyer advised them
not to make the name
public.

with this initiative, with
former Ohio Budget
Director Greg Browning
publishing a memorandum saying that study
used faulty logic and did
not take into account discounts on drugs the state
already receives.
One of the largest
points of contention,
however, deals with the
second paragraph of the
ballot initiative, which
says that the State would
be required to “pay
petitioners’ reasonable
attorney fees and other
expenses,” meaning that
taxpayer money would
be used to pay for any
legal defense of the ballot
in the event of a lawsuit.
Opponents maintain that
one or more lawsuits
could be a likely scenario,
especially given that the
ballot issue’s primary
proponent is Californian
Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
“That could get very
expensive because Mr.
Weinstein is a very litigious fellow,” Butland
said. “He has already
ﬁled 52 lawsuits against
government agencies in
seven different states,
including three in Ohio.”
Butland acknowledged
the frustrations that the
public has expressed over
high drug prices, but he
followed by saying that,
while he hopes there is
a right way to address it
out there, it is not what
will be on the ballot Nov.
7.
“My own personal feeling is, just speaking for
myself, is that the problem of drug affordability
is part of a broader issue
in this country related to
health care,” he said. “We
have a national problem
that will take a national
solution. You can’t do this
on a piecemeal, state-bystate basis.”

North Korea:
Apocalypse
when?

Are Western intelligence services — primarily
America’s — stupid or is North Korea a convenient
toreador’s cape for problems so enormous the
Trump administration and the Congress cannot begin to handle them?
Look at history.
Why did the most powerful nation
on earth in 1962 when President John
F. Kennedy backed down the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis
devolve into the impotent, sniveling
Earl
giant 13 years later when President
Tilford
Gerald Ford declared “our long
Contributing national nightmare is over?” That
columnist
occurred just after the last American
diplomats boarded a helicopter and
slinked out of Saigon. Short answer: We did it to
ourselves. Longer answer: The Russians and Chinese helped.
History is about learning from our mistakes.
Perhaps the biggest mistake humans make is going
to war half-cocked. We did it in 1861. Europe did
in 1914. And we did it again 1964 when President
Lyndon Johnson decided to “not lose a war” rather
than win one.
North Korea cannot feed itself. Why do we then
think that Pyongyang can devise a program producing an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of
sending a nuclear warhead across the Paciﬁc and
into San Francisco? It can be done. The technology
is over a generation old. Nevertheless, Kim Jung Un
cannot do it all by himself. He is getting help, probably from Tehran. And the mullahs are not winging
alone. Furthermore, I believe Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster realizes this having written Dereliction of Duty:
John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and the Lies that Led to Vietnam. Hopefully, he told President Donald Trump.
In October 1962, the United States humiliated
the Soviet military. Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s
hare-brained idea to gain nuclear parity by putting
liquid-fueled, ﬁrst-generation intermediate range
ballistic missiles in Cuba backﬁred. What Khrushchev failed to understand was that JFK faced midterm elections with no-wins in his international
relations column — having bungled the Bay of Pigs
invasion in April 1961, neutralized Laos in July
1962, and then declared himself a “Berliner” in the
shadow of the Berlin Wall in June 1963. Kennedy
also looked forward to facing Barry Goldwater in
November 1964.
The Russian generals and hardliners canned
Khrushchev a month before Johnson obliterated
Goldwater and then romped ahead to establish the
Great Society. A war in Vietnam was not getting in
his way! Fearing “another Korea” at best and World
War III at worst, Johnson opted for “not losing.”
For the next eight years the Soviet Union kept
the Vietnam War going. It did so for two reasons:
First, to keep the American military bogged down
in a no-win quagmire while Moscow built up its
nuclear arsenal to guarantee there would never be
another October 1962. Second, the Soviets were
locked in an ideological struggle with the Chinese
over the future of communism. The Chinese, meanwhile, could not abide a Soviet client state on their
southern border, particularly since those rowdy
Vietnamese had been obstreperous neighbors since
defeating Genghis Khan in the thirteenth century.
The Russians poured weapons into North Vietnam — although not the good stuff needed to make
the war too costly for Washington. Moscow sent
1930s-vintage anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) and
ﬁrst-generation SA-2 surface-to-air-missiles (SAM)
designed to shoot down XB-70 bombers the United
States canned just after SA-2s came about. And the
Americans helped by ﬂying in low to avoid SAMs
and into the most intense AAA envelop on earth.
Pre-World War II AAA claimed 80 percent of American air losses over North Vietnam. Senator John
McCain knows this because it happened to his A-4
Skyhawk as he pulled off a bomb-run at 3,000 feet.
America’s plunge toward defeat began during
the Kennedy administration with JFK’s conviction
that a nation capable of putting a man on the moon
within a decade could win a small war with little
effort. For his part, Lyndon Johnson did not want a
larger war — and who would? But LBJ also would
not risk political hari-kari and the inevitable demise
of his “beautiful lady, the Great Society” by fostering “another Korea” or starting World War III. Who
can blame him? History does.
The situation with North Korea goes back to
the 1990s when President Bill Clinton decided to
placate North Korea and let future presidents deal
with it. George W. Bush, distracted by the “War
on Terror,” failed to do so. The inept diplomacy of
Obama administration made a bad situation worse.
Today there are no good answers. War might be the
worst possible answer, but also unavoidable. If it
comes to war, going there with the nation divided,
an overwhelming debt, a military losing a plane
or helicopter weekly due to bad maintenance and
aging equipment, may be what brings Apocalypse
now. Before it is too late, read McMaster’s book.

Trump sounds off-key note on economy
President Donald
Trump is sounding an
off-key note on his economic performance and
perhaps overstating how
much the public wants
his tax package.
A look at some of his
statements about the
economy over the weekend and a rash of misstatements on a variety
of topics over the past
week:
TRUMP on economic
growth: “In the last
quarter we (hit) 3.2 (percent). As you know the
previous administration
didn’t hit it for the year
for 8 years. In eight years
didn’t hit it at all.” —
Fox Business interview,
broadcast Sunday.
THE FACTS: It’s
not true that President
Barack Obama “didn’t hit
it at all.” The economy
expanded at 3 percent
annual rate or better
for eight quarters during Obama’s right years
in ofﬁce. It’s true the
economy never grew by
more than 3 percent for a
full calendar year under
Obama. That hasn’t happened since 2005. It is
unlikely to happen this
year, either.
Trump also misstated
his own record. The
economy expanded 3.1
percent in the April-June
quarter, rather than the
3.2 percent cited by
Trump.

TRUMP calls his tax
overhaul the “largest tax

THE FACTS: His tax
plan is, at most, ﬁfth largest in its estimated cost,
says Marc Goldwein of
the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible
Federal Budget. It could
end up being even lower
on the ladder historically.
The estimated cost of
the tax plan has dropped
by half or more since the
spring, when only the
contours were known.
In an analysis in April,
Goldwein’s group found
that the $5.5 trillion plan
that was then expected
would have been the
third largest since 1940
as a share of gross
domestic product, behind
Reagan’s package in 1981
and tax cuts enacted
in 1945 to phase out
revenue generated for
World War II. But, citing
estimated costs of $1.5
trillion to $2.5 trillion for
Trump’s plan now, Goldwein said several other
historically signiﬁcant
tax cuts also would surpass Trump’s: from 2013
and 1964.

Lady Eagles win district title
By Paul Boggs

Members of the Eastern girls cross country team pose for a picture following
the Division III district championship. Standing from left to right are Rhiannon
Morris, Ally Durst, Jessica Cook, Kaitlyn Hawk, Whitney Durst, Lexa Hayes and
Alysa Howard.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The
Lady Eagles only added to
their postseason cross country
success on Saturday.
That’s because Eastern
amassed its seventh consecutive Division III district
championship, as the annual
Southeast District meets took
place at the University of Rio
Grande.
It was once again one large
race, part of four on the day
for the entire district, but the
top two Division III clubs out
of 26 total are declared district
winners.
For the seventh straight year,
Eastern is a district champion,

although on Saturday — like
last year — the Lady Eagles
actually were the second-place
team overall.
The seven-lady Lady Eagles
earned a team score of 70, trailing only Zane Trace’s 59 for the
overall lowest score.
In fact, the top six Eastern
scorers all placed between third
and 34th, as there were 184
runners in the girls Division III
race.
Eastern was one of seven
girls squads to qualify for Saturday’s Division III regional
meet — which will once again
take place at Pickerington
North High School.
Eastern also advanced both
of its boys runners to the

regional, as Southern qualiﬁed
one girl and one boy to the
next round.
In addition to the top seven
girls teams, individuals which
place in the top 28 of the girls
race and the top 24 in the boys
run also advance.
For the Lady Eagles, senior
Jessica Cook captured a thirdplace individual ﬁnish in 20
minutes and 38 seconds, trailing only champion Jenny Seas
of Peebles and runner-up Ciara
Colwell of Leesburg Fairﬁeld.
The standout Seas completed
the 5K distance in six seconds
shy of an even 19 minutes,
while Colwell crossed the ﬁnish

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Maybe it is just a statistical oddity, but after 18 years it is probably more
than that.
Urban Meyer’s teams have been nearly unbeatable after taking a week off during the football
season. Overall, they are 20-1 after a week off and
have won 19 in a row since a loss to Miami (Ohio)
in his ﬁrst year as a head coach at Bowling Green
in 2001.
No. 6 Ohio State (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten) was off last
week before this Saturday’s game at home against
No. 2 Penn State (7-0, 4-0).
So, is there a game plan – or more accurately a
no-game plan – Meyer follows every time his team
has a week off, particularly before big games like
Saturday’s match-up?
Not necessarily, he said during his weekly press
conference on Monday.
“I remember one year we had a really bad team,
we went out in full pads for ﬁve straight days and
practiced and got better. I’ve had very good teams
where we were very mature and we backed off
them a little bit. So there’s no template, it depends

Point Pleasant sweeps Lady Lions
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — A little easier
the second time around.
After needing ﬁve sets
to win the ﬁrst matchup
against Teays Valley
Christian, the Point
Pleasant volleyball team
had little trouble with
the rematch Monday
night during a 25-11,
25-10, 25-18 non-conference victory in Mason
County.
The Lady Knights
(16-3) — who claimed
a 3-2 win at TVCS back
on Sept. 26 — left little
doubt in the second
meeting as the hosts
recorded 31 kills as a
team and trailed only
during the ﬁnal game.
In fact, Point’s largest
deﬁcit of the night was
two points on a pair of
different occasions in
Game 3 — but the Red
and Black rallied back
from a 17-15 hole by
scoring 10 of the ﬁnal 11
points to complete the
straight-game triumph.
PPHS led wire-to-wire
in Game 1 as the hosts
jumped out to early leads
of 5-0, 6-3 and 11-4. The
Lady Knights had 13
kills in the opener and
scored the ﬁnal three
points en route to a
14-point win and a 1-0
match advantage.

leads of 4-0, 6-1 and
12-3. The Red and Black
had nine kills in the middle set and scored the
ﬁnal three points while
taking a 2-0 match edge
with the 15-point victory
— the hosts’s largest
lead of the night.
There were nine ties
and 10 lead changes
in the ﬁnale, the Lady
Lions (12-9) claiming
their ﬁrst lead of the
match at 5-4. TVCS held
on for leads of 14-12
and 17-15, but the hosts
rallied for a 21-18 edge
before scoring the ﬁnal
four points en route to
the 3-0 match victory.
Gracie Cottrill and
Peyton Jordan led the

PPHS service attack
with 16 points apiece,
followed by Olivia Dotson with eight points
and Brenna Dotson with
ﬁve points. Mackenzie
Freeman and Madison
Hatﬁeld also contributed four points and two
points, respectively.
Cottrill, Freeman and
Jordan each recorded
two aces, while Hatﬁeld
and Olivia Dotson added
a service ace apiece.
Brenna Dotson posted
team-bests of 10 kills
and a block for the Lady

Lanea Cochran with nine
kills. Hatﬁeld and Olivia
Dotson were next with
four kills apiece, with
Cottrill also adding two

kills.
Tristan Wilson and
Haley Milhoan also had
a kill each for the victors.
Holli Bragg led TVCS

Penn State looks back
at game-winning play
By Jim Naveau

jnaveau@limanews.com

Penn State’s Marcus Allen says he doesn’t often
revisit the play he made that changed everything in
last year’s Ohio State-Penn State game.
Well, maybe once or twice. But no more than that.
A year ago, Allen blocked Ohio State kicker Tyler
Durbin’s 45-yard ﬁeld goal attempt with 4:37 to play.
Then his teammate Grant Haley picked it up and
outran Durbin and holder Sean Nuernberger, the
only two Buckeyes in close pursuit of him, for the
game-winning touchdown in a 24-21 Penn State win.
“I watched it for like a good two times on Twitter. But other than that when it shows its face, I see
it. But I don’t’ really go out looking for it and look
up ‘Marcus Allen blocked ﬁeld goal kick.’ I don’t do
that,” Allen said at the Big Ten Football Media Days
in July.
“It happened and it’s over with, let’s try to make
something else happen. I have to move on to something else,” he said.
Ohio State led 21-7 early in the fourth quarter
before two big mistakes in the kicking game helped
Penn State get back into the game.
Seven minutes before Allen and Haley’s heroics,
the Nittany Lions blocked a punt by Cameron Johnston and turned that into a ﬁeld goal.
But it is the blocked ﬁeld goal that is remembered
more. The victory it produced might have been a
jumping off point for the run of success Penn State
has had since that night. The Nittany Lions have
won 14 of their last 15 games.
“That was incredible,” Penn State standout linebacker Jason Cabinda said. “I think it instilled the
mentality we could play with anybody, that no matter what the circumstances we could always will
ourselves to win and we did that time and time again
last year. Our conﬁdence just soared.
“I’m sure he (Allen) was absolutely excited. What
I remember is everybody running to go meet Grant
in the end zone. I just remember Grant running up
the sideline. It was like it was in slow motion. Everybody was watching to see if he was going to make it.
It was like it happened so slow. Once he got to the
end zone it was a big uproar from the entire stadium, it was like the stadium exploded,” Cabinda said.
“Seeing everybody how happy everybody was,
people rushing the ﬁeld, singing the alma mater,
everybody is happy, going on Twitter and watching
people riot on Beaver Avenue, it was incredible. I
think I stayed up until 2 or 3 a.m. just thinking and
being appreciative of it all. It was a night to remember for sure.”
It was a night to remember for Ohio State, too, but
for different reasons.
Allen and Haley are both back for Penn State as
starters in the defensive backﬁeld. Durbin, a graduate transfer last year, is gone. And Nuernberger has
regained the starting kicker role he had as a freshman in 2014.

Thomas having season-ending surgery
BEREA, Ohio (AP)
— Joe Thomas felt the
tendon detach from his
elbow and roll up in his
arm, and before the pain
registered, the Browns’
seemingly indestructible
tackle realized everything had changed.
His day was over. His
season done. His career
in doubt.
Cleveland’s iron man
was ﬁnally ﬂattened.
Thomas suffered a
torn left triceps during
Sunday’s loss to Tennessee and will miss the
remainder of his 11th
NFL season, a devastating blow to the perennial
Pro Bowler and winless
Browns.
The 32-year-old
Thomas, who had never
missed a snap since
turning pro in 2007,
will undergo surgery
Tuesday and could need
nine months to recover
from a serious injury
that has left him pondering his future beyond
this season. Thomas is
still processing what
happened and said he’ll
wait until the offseason
before deciding whether
to keep playing or retire.
“Am I done playing?
I don’t know,” he said
on a conference call.
“Right now, it’s too
early to make any decisions. Obviously, you
go through a range of
emotions after an injury
like that, and I think it’s
the most fair to myself
and my teammates to
just wait until after the
season to really kind of
sit down with my family
and kind of discuss what

the future looks like.”
The Browns are about
to ﬁnd out what life is
like without Thomas,
who believes his injury is
a “wear-and-tear thing”
from years battling
defensive linemen.
The face of a ﬂoundering franchise for a
decade, Thomas played
10,363 consecutive
snaps before he was
forced to leave the ﬁeld
on Sunday, ending what
is believed to be the longest consecutive plays
streak in NFL history.
The sight of Thomas
curled up in a ball on the
ﬁeld of FirstEnergy Stadium and screaming in
pain left his teammates,
coaches, Cleveland fans
and Titans players shaken. Thomas, who pushed
himself to play on Sundays despite an assortment of injuries, always
knew the day would
come when he would
be unable to physically
continue.
Still, when he got hurt
in the third quarter, it
took him a moment to
process what had happened.
“It’s deﬁnitely surreal,” he said a day
later. “Obviously, you
don’t ever expect to get
injured, but as a football player you always
understand the realities
of the violent sport that
we play. That at any
moment it can be taken
away from you and you
could be sitting on the
bench and rehabbing
an injury. In the back of
your mind you’re always
prepared for it, but

you’re not always ready
for it.”
The Browns formally placed Thomas on
injured reserve, ofﬁcially
ending his season and
snapping his string of
Pro Bowl selections at
10 straight. Thomas was
one of just ﬁve players in
league history to make
the Pro Bowl in his ﬁrst
10 seasons. The other
four — Merlin Olsen,
Mel Renfro, Barry Sanders and Lawrence Taylor
— are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Thomas is under
contract through the
2018 season. While the
Browns have limited his
practice time to keep
him healthy, Thomas
believes he was playing
up to standards, and that
could have a bearing on
what he decides to do
after rehab.
“I guess I felt like I
was having one of the
best seasons of my
career,” he said. “I felt
like our offensive line
was playing well and
we were really jelling
together. I was having
a lot of fun. I didn’t feel
like I was losing any of
my physical skills, that’s
for sure. I felt like I was
playing at the top of my
game.”
Thomas has been one
of the few bright spots
for the miserable Browns
since 2007, when the
club selected the former
Wisconsin All-American
with the No. 3 overall
pick. Despite numerous
front-ofﬁce and coaching
changes, Thomas has
always been there for

the Browns, performing
at an elite level while
embodying the workingclass ethic for an entire
region.
The injury to Thomas
could be the nadir for
the winless Browns,
who are 0-7 this season
and 1-22 in two seasons
under embattled coach
Hue Jackson.
Jackson has grown
close to Thomas and will
now have to move forward without the reliable
No. 73 anchoring the left
side of his line.
“It is hard to replace
someone like him,” Jackson said. “We know that.
We will have to adjust
and do some things differently, and we will.”
For now, Spencer
Drango will ﬁll in for
Thomas. Jackson fears
the injury could have a
lasting effect, but he has
to prevent that from happening.
“We have to get over
it quick because nobody
else cares about that,”
Jackson said. “I just
think in our locker room
you are used to having
him in there, seeing him
in there and knowing he
is going to play. He has
been iron man. You walk
out there, Joe Thomas is
on the ﬁeld ready to go.
Our players, we need to
get past that as fast as
we can. We don’t have
that safety net anymore.
He is not going to be
here playing the rest of
this season.
“As fast as we can, we
have to turn that corner.”
That won’t be easy
without Thomas.

Amid latest drama, Steelers control AFC North

PITTSBURGH (AP)
Martavis Bryant a week
— The Pittsburgh Steel- ago as the talented but
ers laughed along with
erratic wide receiver
downplayed reports he
requested a trade.
It’s not quite so funny
anymore.
Bryant stayed home
on Monday with an illness. The timing looked
considerably curious
after Bryant defended
himself on social media
and took a shot at
rookie teammate JuJu
Smith-Schuster following another ineffective
performance in an otherwise dominant victory
over Cincinnati.
Bryant was limited
to one carry for 2 yards
and one reception for
3 yards while splitting
snaps with Smith-Schuster in Pittsburgh’s 29-14
victory. Seven games
into his return from a
yearlong suspension for
violating the league’s
substance abuse policy,
Bryant has 18 receptions for 234 yards
and a score, well off
the numbers he posted
while becoming one of
the NFL’s premier bigto deployed soldiers!
play threats in 2014 and
2015.
After an Instagram
user claimed Bryant
was being ignored by
Steelers quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger,
1LB OF DONATED
Bryant posted — and
CANDY (UNOPENED)
then promptly deleted
— from his veriﬁed
=
account a comment in
1 ENTRY TO WIN A $50
which he claimed SmithSchuster is “no where
WALMART GIFT CARD
near better than me.”
Bryant amended
it later to call SmithSchuster a “great talent”
while adding “I just
wants mine period point
blank.”
Smith-Schuster, who
scored his third touchdown of the season on
a 31-yard catch-and-run
in the second quarter
against the Bengals,
said he spoke to Bryant
and didn’t take Bryant’s
frustrations personally.
“I understand where

TREATS FOR THE TROOPS
Donated candy goes

Daily Sentinel

he’s coming from,”
Smith-Schuster said.
“If I was in his shoes, I
put myself in his shoes.
There’s only one ball
and so many athletes on
the ﬁeld. It’s tough.”
At 20, Smith-Schuster
is the youngest player
in the league. Yet he’s
played long enough to
understand the careful balance of egos
involved, particularly on
an offense as loaded as
the Steelers (5-2), who
are in ﬁrm control of
the AFC North as the
season nears the midway point.
“Hopefully we do get
him the ball more, we
do feed him,” SmithSchuster said. “He’s a
great athlete. I would
like him to be on our
team and moving forward I think he’s going
to be big for us.”
Bryant was in 2014
and 2015, when he
caught 14 touchdowns
over 21 games while
helping the Steelers
to consecutive playoff
berths.
Then the suspension
hit in March 2016 and
Bryant spent a year on
his own, getting his life
in order while living in
Nevada. Bryant has said
and done all the right
things in his return, yet
at this point his frustration appears to be bubbling over.
When the Steelers
were upset at home by
Jacksonville earlier this
month, Bryant pointed
out he was getting
open but the ball was
going elsewhere. Then
the reports of a trade
surfaced following a
potentially seasonturning road victory in
Kansas City — a game
in which Bryant caught
two passes for 27 yards
and earned praise from
coach Mike Tomlin for
his role as a blocker in
the running game.
Pittsburgh offensive
coordinator Todd Haley

called an end-around for
Bryant on the ﬁrst snap
against the Bengals in
what looked like a peace
offering of sorts. Bryant
jogged to the sideline
after the play while
Smith-Schuster ran on,
a pattern that repeated
throughout the game.
When Roethlisberger
did look deep for Bryant
down the left sideline in
the third quarter, Bryant
appeared unaware the
ball was on its way until
it was out of reach.
It ultimately didn’t
matter on an afternoon
in which the Steelers
held Cincinnati to all of
19 yards in the second
half to win going away.
Yet, with Bryant’s
gear hanging neatly in
his locker, his teammates were left trying
to explain how another
Monday arrived with
another off-the-ﬁeld
dust-up.
“That’d be too easy (if
there was no drama),”
defensive end Cam
Heyward said. “We have
a good group of guys
that’s not going to get
deterred going over
stuff like this.”
The NFL trade deadline is next Tuesday and
moving Bryant doesn’t
make much sense for
the Steelers even if Bryant’s production dips.
If he runs afoul of
the substance abuse
policy one more time,
the ensuing discipline
could effectively end
his NFL career. That’s a
signiﬁcant risk for any
team that would consider acquiring him in a
trade.
Besides, the Steelers
still believe Bryant can
make an impact even
if he’s not catching
the ball. He still draws
extra attention when
he runs deep, opening
things for others. It may
not be the path Bryant
envisioned, but it is one
Pittsburgh would be just
ﬁne with him following.
