Rehabilitation
planned for Colonial
Park Apartments
By Erin Perkins
Special to the Sentinel

POMEROY — The
WODA Group Inc.
is working toward a
rehabilitation project of
the Colonial Park apartments on Mulberry
Avenue in Pomeroy.
Every apartment
of the complex will
receive special attention, detailed WODA
ofﬁcials during a meeting on Friday at the
apartment complex.
Tenants will gain new
appliances, bathroom
ﬁxtures, windows,
ﬂoors and an upgraded
heating and cooling
unit.
An exterior maintenance will take place
as well with the ﬁxing
of screen doors, the
replacing of the buildings siding, gutters,
drains and roof, and
the clearing of all walkways.
WODA has been
involved with multiple
renovations, spending

up to $40,000 on each
unit. Jeff and David
Cooper are making
Colonial Park a top priority. If they can receive
four percent of their
funds from OFA by the
ﬁrst of the year, they
will begin construction
in mid to late 2018.
A few tenants voiced
concerns about the renovations. One tenant
is adamant about the
proposed changes being
followed through by
WODA. Another tenant
insisted on not receiving a dishwasher during the renovations, but
would like to receive
a glass top stove and
a washer and dryer
hook up. Frank Fugate,
acquisition manager
for WODA, will discuss
the residents’ concerns
with his team.
WODA will be working alongside the Gallia Meigs Community
Action Agency during
this project.

NRCS announces restoration project
Staff Report

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s (USDA)
Natural Resources
Conservation Service
(NRCS) has announced
an opportunity to help
restore oak-hickory
woodlands in southeastern Ohio.
To restore oak-hickory
woodlands, NRCS and
its conservation partners
created the “Collaborative Oak Management”
project in southeastern
Ohio. The project area
includes the Wayne
National Forest and Ohio
State Forests, as well as
privately held forest land.

Approximately 73 percent of the land within
the Wayne National Forest is privately owned
and interspersed within
forest boundaries. However, the boundaries of
private and public land
don’t exist for invasive
species and wildlife. The
Collaborative Oak Management project provides
a mechanism to restore
oak-hickory woodlands
seamlessly across both
public and private land.
NRCS uses the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to
help restore oak-hickory
woodlands owned privately. Woodland owners
in the project area can

Meigs County Retired Teachers meet
POMEROY — The
Meigs County Retired
Teachers met Oct. 19
at the Senior Citizen
Center for a luncheon
meeting.
Charlene Rutherford,
president, opened
the meeting with a
welcome to all and
the pledge to the ﬂag.
Becky Zurcher had
devotions and read
several pieces including “Daddy fell into the
pond,” ” Adventures
of Isabel,” “The ride
by nights,” ” The bat,”
“Mice,” “The Morns
are meeker than they
were,” and “The creation,” and had prayer
before the meal served
by the center.
Don Baker, District 7
director, was the speaker for the meeting. He
is from Wheelersburg,
and is a retired teacher.
He said this would be
his last meeting as district director. He said
many changes have
taken place at ORTA.
Bee Lehner will be the
president for 2018. She
received her master’s
degree from Ohio State
University and ﬁnished
her career as the principal for Keene Elementary School.
At the May board
meeting it was
announced that John
Cavanaugh would no

longer serve as the
group’s executive director. The executive committee recently selected
Dr. Robin Rayﬁeld
as the new executive
director. Rayﬁeld is
from the Toldeo area.
Also, the executive
committee replaced the
Inspire Group with an
in house publications
and communications
coordinator. Alissa Burton has been selected as
the new coordinator.
At the October board
meeting there was a
major organizational
change. Instead of the
current 11 districts,
ﬁve new geographical
regions will be created.
They will be northwest, northeast, southeast, southwest and
central. Each region
will have from 16 to
18 county chapters.
Meigs County is in the
southeast region. In
place of directors and
trustees, three liaisons
will serve each region.
These will be elected
on a three year rotating
basis. Also, the executive committee and the
ORTA board have been
reorganized. The executive committee will
consist of the president,
past president and president-elect. The ORTA
board will consist of the
executive committee

and one liaison from
each region.
Baker talked about
POP-5 (Protect Ohio
Pensions) which claims
to represent all ﬁve of
Ohio’s public pension
systems. The retirement system representing us is STRS, State
Teachers Retirement
System. ORTA does not
recognize POP-5.
State Teachers Retirement Board voted to
approve changes to the
actuarial assumptions
used to evaluate pension liabilities.
The key changes are:
Reducing the expected investment return to
7.45 percent from 7.75
percent. Assets are not
expected to grow as
fast as needed to pay
beneﬁts.
Change to updated
generational mortality
tables. Recognizes that
STRS Ohio members
are living longer and
STRS Ohio is paying
beneﬁts for a longer
period of time than
expected. As a result,
STRS felt they had to
suspend our COLA for
up to ﬁve years.
The Health Care
Fund is currently estimated to remain solvent for about 18 years.
STRS has been working
with the system’s actuary, Segal Consulting,

to develop options to
extend solvency to 30
years or more. However, there is no dedicated
source of revenue for
this fund. Health care is
not a guarantee.
During the business meeting, the
secretary and treasurer
reports were given and
approved. Volunteer
hours are to be turned
in at the December
meeting.
Members were
reminded to support
the levy for the library.
Charlene Rutherford
told of her friend who
lives in Puerto Rico and
what a hard time having
and of a fund we could
donate.
Duane Wolfe said the
Board of Directors of
the Brenda K. Wolfe
Peritoneal Cancer
Foundation met and
have sent $5,000 to the
James Cancer Research
Center.
Door prizes were
given to Janice Curry,
Marlene Donovan and
Jo Ann Hays.
The next meeting
will be Dec. 7 at Trinity
Church. Members are
to bring in books or art
supplies for children
or teens as Christmas
gifts.

Charges say man had silencer,
stolen missile warning system

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A former Ohio air base
employee has been indicted on federal charges alleging he had an unregistered ﬁrearm silencer and a stolen missile warning system that is used on aircraft.
The Dayton Daily News reports the charges against
Joel Montgomery are tied to search warrants from
2015, after he was terminated from Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base.
The jailed 48-year-old man pleaded not guilty. His
attorney, Cheryll Bennett, says he denies allegations
in the indictment.
The newspaper reports Montgomery’s Spring Valley home was raided again Oct. 19, after an informant
told the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
that Montgomery had hundreds of weapons and
bomb-making materials and that his drinking was of
concern.
A defense attorney argued in court that many of the
items found at his home are legal.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man convicted of
murder in the beating death of his girlfriend’s 3-yearold son has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The Repository reports a judge sentenced 27-yearold Brent Fields to a 30-years-to-life term Monday
while criticizing his “total indifference” to the boy’s
death.
A jury deliberated for two hours last week before
ﬁnding Fields guilty in Owen Buggey’s death last
October. A medical examiner had ruled the boy died
from septic shock caused by blunt force trauma to the
abdomen.
Fields often cared for Owen and his four siblings
at his girlfriend’s house in Canton. The woman, Ruth
Buggey, has pleaded guilty to complicity to child
endangering and obstruction of justice for lying about
what happened to Owen.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A defense attorney says an
Indian citizen jailed on terrorism charges was drawn
into a plot to kill a federal judge in Ohio by another
inmate attempting to reduce his own sentence.
Pre-sentencing court documents ﬁled this week by
the defense say the other inmate pretended to show
an interest in Islam and then concocted the scheme
against the judge.
Defendant Yahya Farooq Mohammad pleaded guilty
this summer to supporting terrorism and trying to
arrange the killing of a federal judge in Toledo overseeing his case.
His attorney says that even though the other inmate
invented the plan against the judge, tape recordings
of those discussions made a defense highly risky and
improbable.

Man sentenced to 30 years
for child’s beating death

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s capital city is
setting aside money to support legal help for immigrants facing deportation.
Columbus City Council voted Monday to provide
$185,000 for three groups that will help immigrants
and their families. The Columbus Dispatch reports
that a national nonproﬁt policy organization, the Vera
Institute of Justice, will provide $100,000 more.
Councilwoman Elizabeth Brown has been pushing
for the funding this year.
The nonproﬁt Advocates for Basic Legal Equality
Inc. will receive the biggest share, over $157,000.
Brown says it will be used to educate detained immigrants on their rights and to represent people from
Columbus facing deportation.

Wilson 10th at state CC meet
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

Alex Hawley|OVP Sports

Point Pleasant junior Luke Wilson (620) hits full stride during the Gallia
Academy Coach’s Corner Classic held on Sept. 5 in Centenary, Ohio.

ONA, W.Va. — It wasn’t his
fastest time … but Luke Wilson has never accomplished
more in a race.
Wilson — a junior at Point
Pleasant — earned the highest
ﬁnish at a state meet in school
history after placing 10th
overall at the 2017 Class AA-A
Cross Country Championships
held at the Cabell Midland
High School in Cabell County.
Wilson — who ﬁnished 40th
last year in this same event
with a time of 17:54.9 —
became the ﬁrst Black Knight
to record a sub-17-minute time
at the state ﬁnal, as well as the
ﬁrst top-10 effort in program

history.
Wilson’s ﬁnal mark of
16:54.87 was also the fourth of
ﬁve times within two seconds
of one another during a climactic race to the ﬁnish line.
Wilson — who set the PPHS
school record of 16:39.2 this
fall at the Chick-Fil-A Invitational — posted his third
fastest time of the year, a
season in which the junior
won varsity races at the Ripley
Covered Bridge, Gallia Academy Coach’s Corner, and Wirt
County Wetlands competitions.
Wilson recorded his secondbest time of 16:53 at the
Coach’s Corner Classic in
early September.
PPHS coach Jessica Porter

was truly excited to see Wilson reach his target of a top-10
ﬁnish at state. As she noted,
it’s always nice to see effort
being rewarded.
“After placing fourth in our
regional meet and looking at
predictions for state, we knew
Luke had an opportunity to
ﬁnish well and make school
history. He knew my goal for
him was to place in the top
ten,” Porter said. “He worked
his way up the whole race
and fought hard to get the
tenth position. Four boys ﬁnished with less than a second
between them. I just feel so
happy for Luke, seeing all his
hard work and dedication

Buffalo High School in Buffalo, W.Va.

Hannan volleyball season ends
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

BUFFALO, W.Va. — If
nothing else, the Lady
Cats went down ﬁghting.
The Hannan volleyball
team had its 2017 campaign come to an end
Monday night after a pair
of losses at the Class A
Region IV, Section 2 tournament held at Buffalo
High School.
The Lady Cats (3-19)
— who entered the tournament as a seven-seed in
a seven-team bracket —
never led in their opening
match as Huntington
Saint Joseph (20-12)
posted a 25-13, 25-11,
25-12 straight-game decision.
HHS, however, managed to keep things much

more competitive against
Van (14-15) before ultimately dropping a 25-19,
26-28, 25-23, 25-16 decision in the eventual season ﬁnale.
The Lady Cats trailed
by at least a dozen points
in each of their three
games against the Lady
Irish, who stormed out
to early leads of 4-0, 3-0
and 2-0 in each of those
respective sets.
HSJ went on to post
its largest lead in Game
1 with the ﬁnal 12-point
outcome, then did the
same in Game 2 with a
14-point decision. The
Lady Irish also led 23-9
in the ﬁnale before wrapping up the match with a
13-point win.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Urban Meyer found lots
to talk about from last Saturday’s win over Penn
State at his weekly Monday press conference,
which stretched out to 24 minutes, around 10
minutes longer than average.
To the surprise of no one, he announced
quarterback J.T. Barrett as the Offensive Player
of the Week in OSU’s come-from-behind 39-38
win over Penn State and the four defensive ends
– Tyquan Lewis, Sam Hubbard, Jalyn Holmes
and Nick Bosa – as the Defensive Players of the
Week.
In fact, he said all nine units of the team were
graded as “champions.” The nine units are:
quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers,
tight ends, offensive linemen, defensive linemen
linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties. Special
teams are not among the nine.
Next up for No. 3 OSU (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten) is
a trip to Iowa (5-3, 2-3 Big Ten) for a 3:30 p.m
game on Saturday.
The Hawkeyes’ most impressive win, which
looks better now than it did when it happened,
is a 44-41 overtime win over Iowa State. It also
lost 21-19 to Penn State on a Trace McSorley
touchdown pass in the ﬁnal seconds.

More thoughts from Meyer
PUNT BLOCK GAMBLE: Denzel Ward’s
game-changing blocked
punt with Penn State on
Ohio State’s 43-yard line
early in the fourth quarter was not a call Meyer
makes often.
“Normally we don’t do
it in that position on the
ﬁeld because if you run
into them it’s a nightmare,” he said.
Blocked punts have
become a rarity in college football, so Meyer
was asked why this
attempt worked.
“Well, the guy who
blocked it can run like
the speed of sound. The
execution was impeccable. And Damon Arnette
had as much to do with it
as Denzel,” he said.
ADDRESSING KICKOFF PROBLEMS: Ohio
State kickoff special
teams unit continued to
struggle with kicking and
covering kicks against
Penn State.
At one point on Monday, Meyer referred to
the situation as “a joke.”
“We had a meeting this
morning. We’re trying
to ﬁgure it out. You look
at two things. You look
at the scheme. We’ve
adjusted the scheme
somewhat. You look at
our kickers.
“I’d kick it out of the
end zone every time.
We’re the only team in
America that can’t kick it
out of the end zone, even
with the wind at our
back. It’s not because of
not telling them to kick
it out of the end zone,”
he said.
KICKOFF TIME:
Ohio State’s home game
against Michigan State
on Nov. 11 will kick off
at noon and will be televised by FOX.
This Saturday’s game
against Iowa, which
some people thought
would be a prime time
game, will start at 3:30.
Meyer said recently
that he thought there
were too many night
games away from home.
So did his comments
have anything to do with
OSU’s kickoff times this
week and next week?
“I don’t have any idea,”
he said. “But I think
that’s something in the
offseason there’s going
to be a lot of conversation about with our

commissioner and with
our presidents,” Meyer
said. “I certainly think
a few night games are
great. But when you start
talking about four (road
night games), that’s too
many.”
NO WORRIES
ABOUT PRINCE: Right
tackle Isaiah Prince was
the obvious weak link
on Ohio State’s offensive
line in 2016, especially
against quality competition like Penn State,
Michigan, Wisconsin and
Clemson.
But after a good effort
from Prince against Penn
State, Meyer said Prince
had moved past the
struggles of last season
and is a reliable player.
“I couldn’t be more
proud. You should have
seen him in the locker
room and on the sideline.
It was a grown man. It
was the maturation process.”
Meyer indicated that
part of Prince’s struggles
last year came because
he was forced into the
lineup before he was
ready.
“He’s unbelievable now.
I’m not worried about
Isaiah at all,” Meyer said.
“He’s a grown man, handling his stuff the way a
right offensive tackle at
Ohio State should.”
CAMPBELL UNCERTAIN: Wide receiver
Parris Campbell is “questionable” for Saturday’s
game after being injured
early in the win over
Penn State last week.
“He got dinged on a

Williamstown holds off Lady Falcons
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

PARKERSBURG,
W.Va. — By the time the
Lady Falcons got their
postseason legs under
them, it was too little,
too late.
The sixth-seeded
Wahama volleyball team
couldn’t overcome a
slow start in the opening round of the Class
A Region IV, Section 1
tournament, falling in
straight games to thirdseeded Williamstown on
Monday at Parkersburg
Catholic High School.
Williamstown (2018-4) led wire-to-wire
in both of the ﬁrst two
games, topping the Lady
Falcons (5-21) by counts
of 25-8 and 25-9.
“Whenever we ﬁrst
started we couldn’t make
that ﬁrst pass,” Wahama
head coach Matt VanMeter said. ” If you don’t
have that ﬁrst pass, you
don’t have anything.”
The Lady Falcons —
who move on to an elimination game on Tuesday
at PCHS — gained their
ﬁrst lead of the night at
14-13 in the third game,
but the Lady Jackets
regained the edge at
16-15 and extended their
advantage to as many
as ﬁve points, at 23-18.
Wahama fought back to
within two, but dropped
back-to-back points,
giving the Maroon and
Gold a 25-21 win.
“They actually started
playing smarter volleyball,” Coach VanMeter
said of the third game.
“Every ball doesn’t have
to be a down ball, you
just have to get it to the
ﬂoor. I think we settled
in, unfortunately by the
time you have two losses
under your belt, it’s a
little late to settle in.”
For the match, Williamstown held a 56.4-

to-28.4 advantage in
side-out percentage,
while the Lady Falcons
earned a 94.9-to-91.9
edge in serving percentage. Wahama also earned
a 32-to-27 advantage in
digs, while committing
eight hitting errors and
just two serving errors.
“Sometimes I think
it’s just the thought of
who we’re playing,”
Coach VanMeter said.
“You play Williamstown,
Wirt County, the bigger
teams, and that gets in
your head before you
actually get to the game.
Sometimes girls have a
tendency to beat themselves before the game
even starts, and I think
that happened a little bit.
“We’re still only eight
years in and these programs have been going

for a long time,” added
VanMeter. “I think we’re
going to be a force to be
dealt with in the future.”
The Lady Falcons
were led by Gracie VanMeter with nine service
points, all coming in
the ﬁnal game. Harley
Roush was next with
four points and two aces,
followed by Madison
VanMeter and Logan
Eades with two points
each, including an ace by
VanMeter.
Madison VanMeter
earned a team-best

Hannan had just
seven players available
for the postseason run,
which included as many
seniors as freshmen.
Given the fact that the
Lady Cats went through
four coaches and had
twice as many players at
the start of the season
than now, HHS coach
Frankie Hudnall knew
the odds were working
against his troops.
He, however, also
noted that the girls
weren’t afraid of the
task at hand — and he
really admired their
courage on Monday
night.
“I told the girls on
the way over here this
evening that all of our
cards were on the table.
Play your hearts out,
give everything you can
and leave everything on
the ﬂoor. That’s exactly
what the girls did, so
I couldn’t have asked
for any more,” Hudnall
said. “We’ve dealt with
quite a bit of adversity
this year, but I thought

the girls showed some
real strength tonight as
a group. We battled in
every single game.”
After going through a
winless 2016 campaign,
Hudnall was pleased
that the girls managed
to pick up a trio of victories this fall.
The Lady Cats should
also have ﬁve experienced players returning
to the mix next season,
but Hannan will have to
replace two key veterans
in Hailey White and Jessica Dalton.
Hudnall acknowledged
how much those seniors
meant to him — and
this squad — this year.
“Those two seniors, I
just cannot say enough
about them. They’ve
shown leadership and
they’ve tried so hard to
pick the younger kids up
through the adversity,”
Hudnall said. “They’ve
helped show the younger kids how to work and
what to expect at this
level. More than anything, though, they’ve
worked through the
hard times to get to the
good times. I’m proud
of them for sticking it
out.”
Hannan ended the
season with seven consecutive defeats.

his future held.
Doctors gave him clearance to practice without
limitations about a week
later, and Woods had
been posting video on
Twitter of a full swing
with an iron, a driver and
then his signature stinger
shot with the driver.
“I am excited to return
to competitive golf at the
Hero World Challenge,”
Woods said in a story on
his website. “Albany is
the perfect setting and it
will be great to join this
outstanding ﬁeld.”
The tournament has

no cut.
A year ago, Woods
returned after 15 months
recovering from two back
surgeries. He made 24
birdies, but ﬁnished 15th
out of 18 players. The
tournament is not ofﬁcial
on any tour, although it
does award world ranking
points.
He made his ﬁrst PGA
Tour start at Torrey Pines
and missed the cut, and
then went to Dubai and
didn’t make it past the
ﬁrst round before his
back began acting up.
Woods made the

announcement just three
days after he pleaded
guilty to reckless driving
in a deal that allows him
to avoid jail time if he
doesn’t violate terms of
his probation.
The deal stems from
a Memorial Day arrest
on a DUI charge when
Woods was found asleep
at the wheel of his car,
which was still running
and parked at an awkward
angle about 15 minutes
from his home in Florida.
Woods attributed it to
a bad combination of prescription medicine.

According to a toxicology report, Woods had the
active ingredient for marijuana, two painkillers,
the sleep drug Ambien
and the anti-anxiety drug
Xanax in his system.
He completed a drug
treatment program in
July.
Woods has 79 PGA
Tour victories and 14
majors, both second
all-time, though he
has not won since the
Bridgestone Invitational
in August 2013 for his
record 18th World Golf
Championships title.

Browns get breather as 0-8 team enters bye week
CLEVELAND (AP) —
The Browns came back
from London jet lagged,
ﬁlled with memories but
missing a souvenir victory.
Still winless — home,
away and abroad.
One day after a 33-17
loss to the Minnesota
Vikings on a rugby pitch
in England dropped
Cleveland to 0-8, Browns
coach Hue Jackson
instructed his players
to get some rest as they
head into a much-needed
bye week that will be
dedicated to health and
assessment — for everyone.
Jackson found some
positives in the Browns’
latest loss, which came
after they led in the
third quarter. But the
league’s youngest team
couldn’t overcome some
costly mistakes and fell
to 1-23 under Jackson
and a front ofﬁce that
might be running out of

time to prove their plan
works.
To his credit, Jackson
has been unbowed by
the losing. He’s staying calm in the swirling
storm around him and
has continued to say all
the right things even
though some of his comments are ringing hollow with Cleveland fans
sickened by the team’s
4-41 record since the
end of the 2014 season.
“My mindset remains
the same,” he said.
“There is no quit in this
team. We are going to
continue to work hard.
We are going to continue to improve. We
are improving in some
areas, but it doesn’t
show in the win column.
“We know we can play
better at times, too, and
I am going to keep asking more of our players
and our coaches. We will
continue to do it that
way. Hopefully, we will

come out with some better results here soon.”
Following Sunday’s
game, Jackson said he
believes he has the full
support of owners Dee
and Jimmy Haslam.
Only one coach in
history has had a worse
record after 24 games
with one team than Jackson, and that was Tampa
Bay’s John McKay, who
lost his ﬁrst 26 with the
expansion Tampa Bay
Buccaneers in 1976-77.
McKay was once
asked what he thought
of his team’s execution
and famously answered,
“I’m in favor of it.”
Jackson knows the
record is appalling, but
he wouldn’t speculate
whether Haslam will
make changes to the
coaching staff or front
ofﬁce.
“That is a question for
Jimmy,” he said. I think
he has to be able to
answer that. My job is to

coach this football team
and this football staff
and get our players to be
the best they can be.
“Will there be conversations that I am sure we
will have over the next
several days? I am sure
there are, but right now,
I have not had that conversation.”
There weren’t many
positives from Sunday’s
loss, but rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer
did make it through a
complete game without
committing a turnover
or being benched by
Jackson.
With a more conservative game plan, Kizer
stayed out of trouble,
made smart decisions
and completed 18 of 34
passes for 179 yards.
The even performance
didn’t produce a win,
but the 21-year-old
showed some improvement and Jackson will
start him again when the

Browns play in Detroit
on Nov. 12.
“DeShone has earned
that opportunity to walk
back out there again,”
Jackson said. “He did
some good things. That
was a better version of
DeShone, and we need
to grow from that and
keep getting better.”
As for his decision
to sit disappointing
wide receiver Kenny
Britt, Jackson said he
was unaware of comments the player made
in advance of the team’s
international trip.
Britt played in London with the Rams last
season and detested the
visit, saying he hated
everything about it.
Jackson said Britt
didn’t play because he
wanted to see more
of Bryce Treggs, who
caught one pass for 12
yards and fumbled a
punt. Britt hasn’t lived
up to the four-year,

$32.5 million free agent
contract he signed in
March. He has 10 receptions for 128 yards,
missed two games with
injuries and was sent
home from the team’s
trip to Houston for missing a curfew.
Jackson disagreed
with the opinion that
Britt has been a bad
inﬂuence to Cleveland’s
young receivers.
“If I knew that Kenny
Britt was a negative
inﬂuence on our football
team, he wouldn’t be
here,” he said. “I have
conversations with all of
our players. Everybody
is going to have some
issues from time to time.
“Obviously, his are
well documented. There
are some games where
things haven’t gone as
well, but hopefully, those
things are not bleeding
over into our locker
room because I would
not allow that.”

OSU exploring Logano crew chief takes blame for call
changes on
kickoff team
By Jim Naveau

jnaveau@limanews.com

COLUMBUS — There might be changes in personnel coming on Ohio State’s struggling kickoff
coverage teams when Ohio State plays at Iowa on
Saturday afternoon.
OSU coach Urban Meyer, who had called his
team’s kickoffs “a joke” earlier this week referred
to “the kicking debacle” on the Big Ten football
coaches teleconference on Tuesday and said
changes are coming.
“We’re going to make some changes in personnel. We just have to keep re-evaluating,” Meyer
said.
Meyer said he is watching for signs of a letdown
after last week’s huge comeback to beat Penn State
39-38 but does not expect that to happen.
“I’ll watch that very closely. If it were a young,
immature team I’d be more panicky than I am,” he
said. “They’re very professional, but you’re darn
right I’m going to watch that very closely, especially the younger players and even the younger
coaches. There are young coaches on the staff who
haven’t been in this situation. I’m watching it very
closely.”
During Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz’s time on the
teleconference, he said, “We face a big, big task
this week playing a tremendous Ohio State football team. We have our hands more than full this
week.”
Asked about Ohio State’s defensive line, he
said, “Probably the toughest thing (for them) is
to ﬁgure out who to put in there. They have a lot
of guys who are really good football players. As a
result of that, they are able to rotate guys in there
and keep them fresh. They’re all very athletic and
they can play with power and quickness
He also addressed a profane outburst in the
press box last Saturday by his son, offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, after a replay overturned
a call on the ﬁeld and said an Iowa player had
fumbled.
“It is serious mainly because it was inappropriate. It has been addressed on a couple levels. It
was inappropriate, it remains inappropriate. It
can’t happen again.”

Nationals hire Cubs
bench coach Dave
Martinez as manager
WASHINGTON (AP) — Dave Martinez’s
ﬁrst managing job will come with a Washington
Nationals team that expects him to produce
nothing less than a World Series championship.
The Nationals announced on Monday that
Martinez agreed to a three-year contract with
an option for a fourth year.
Martinez has been the bench coach for Joe
Maddon with the Chicago Cubs the past three
seasons and with the Tampa Bay Rays for seven
years before that.
“As we went through this process, it became
clear the type of manager we were looking for
— someone who is progressive, someone who
can connect with, and communicate well with,
our players, and someone who embraces the
analytical side of the game,” Nationals general
manager Mike Rizzo said in a statement. “We
came away from the process feeling like there
was absolutely no one better suited — who
matched up to what this organization needs
right now — than Dave.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Joey Logano’s crew chief accepted
blame Tuesday for not pitting
Logano with a tire rub, a call that
may have cost Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski a spot in
NASCAR’s championship.
Logano was third with 12 laps
remaining in Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway when contact
with Kyle Busch created a tire rub
on Logano’s car. Keselowski was
leading and seemed to have the
victory in hand, and the win would
have earned Keselowski a slot in
the season ﬁnale championship
race.
But Logano was not called in
to pit, the tire blew and he spun.
It brought out a caution that ultimately led to Keselowski not winning the race.
“I missed the call,” crew chief
Todd Gordon said Tuesday on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
Logano is not eligible for the
playoffs, and once he developed
the tire rub, he was out of contention for the Martinsville victory.
Other playoff drivers, including
Martinsville race winner Busch,
noted that Logano should have

pitted for the good of the Penske
organization.
Gordon said that in the seconds
he’s required to make a decision,
he failed to consider Keselowski’s
situation and was thinking only of
gaining a momentum-building ﬁnish for Logano’s team. Keselowski
had marked Martinsville as a mustwin race for him to earn one of the
four slots in the championship.
“In the time Kyle got into us,
we were third and ﬁghting,” Gordon said. “I only got a couple of
glimpses of (the tire). It was smoking. The ﬁrst lap and half of that,
I wasn’t sure how bad (the tire)
was and as I saw, I didn’t know
with a few laps left, whether it was
an external rub or whether it was
on the tire contact patch, and the
smoke kind of clouds it a little bit
for me.
“Honestly, it was looking at the
fact that I felt like if it was just a
tire rub we might (salvage) a topﬁve ﬁnish out of the day.”
As Logano’s tire situation
became more perilous, the driver
was stuck on the outside lane of
the track and getting to pit road
would have been difﬁcult. By the

time Logano could get out of the
way, the tire had failed and Keselowski’s lead was erased.
“I guess I should have called him
in earlier with the grander picture
in my head. I missed the call. I just
own that I missed the call myself,”
Gordon said. “Regretful for that
for our teammates and everybody
here at Team Penske. Brad had a
dominant car all day, and I think
was in a great position.
“Wish you could take those
things back but you can’t. At that
time, my focus was on a momentum builder for our team. Saw that
opportunity, didn’t know how bad
the rub was and as it became more
clear it became too late to react to
that.”
Gordon indicated that Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolfe was
annoyed with Gordon’s decision,
and the two colleagues had a conversation.
“I’ve talked to Paul about it and
I’ve shared with him my shortcomings and thought process. I think
we’re good with where we’re at,”
Gordon said. “Obviously he was
disappointed with it as he should
be.”

Steelers ditch style points, lead AFC North
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— The offense expected
to light up scoreboards is
instead grinding it out.
The way the Pittsburgh
Steelers defense is playing, it hardly matters.
The team expected to
compete for a Super Bowl
berth looks the part at the
season’s midway point.
The Steelers just aren’t
doing it the way most
envisioned.
Rather than race up
and down the ﬁeld with
an offense that features
the highest-paid wide
receiver and running
back in the league, it’s the
remade-on-the-ﬂy defense
has propelled Pittsburgh.
The proof came in a
20-15 victory over Detroit
on Sunday night. And
while Pittsburgh gave up
482 yards to Matthew
Stafford and company, the
Lions never reached the
end zone.
Not once.
Five times Detroit ventured inside the Steelers
20. The results? Three
ﬁeld goals and two failed
attempts on fourth down.
“We gave up a lot of
yards, but we deﬁnitely
didn’t break when we
needed to the most,”
linebacker Ryan Shazier.
“And then I feel like it
really helped us grow a
bit.”
Pittsburgh (6-2) heads
into its bye week ﬁrmly
atop the AFC North after
its third straight win.
While the defense slipped
from second to fourth in

total yards after letting
the Lions go up and down
Ford Field, the Steelers
are tied for second in
points allowed. Heady
territory for a unit that
doesn’t have starter over
30.
“I know we had some
mishaps, but I’m glad
we’re 6-2,” defensive end
Cameron Heyward said.
With considerable room
for improvement, particularly the $92 million
offense.
The unit that once —
albeit not this season —
said it wanted to make
scoring 30 points the
norm has struggled at
times to reach 20.
Le’Veon Bell’s slow
start following his decision to skip training camp
didn’t help. Neither has
the enigmatic play of
wide receiver Martavis
Bryant, who spent Sunday night on the sideline
in sweat pants after being
deactivated by coach
Mike Tomlin for making
the ill-advised decision to
vent his frustrations on
social media .
Yet the Steelers have
turned things around
after a 30-9 mauling at
home by Jacksonville, a
loss that included a pair
of pick-6s thrown by Ben
Roethlisberger, who facetiously wondered if he
still had “it.”
Three straight victories have followed and
while Roethlisberger is
still searching for consistency — his completion

rate (61.1 percent) is his
lowest since 2008 — he’s
developed a rapport with
rookie wide receiver JuJu
Smith-Schuster, taking
some of the pressure off
All-Pro Antonio Brown.
Smith-Schuster had
career highs in receptions (seven) and yards
receiving (193) against
the Lions, showcasing a
burst even he wasn’t sure
he had on a 97-yard catchand-run for a touchdown
in the third quarter that
served as the longest pass
play in the franchise’s
86-year history.
Smith-Schuster also
sealed the win by taking
a shovel pass from Roethlisberger and bulling for
a ﬁrst down with less
than two minutes to go,
a conversion that allowed
the Steelers to run out
the clock.
“The best player under
21 ever and I mean that,”
Bell said of his teammate,
who turns 21 on Nov. 22.
One with a burgeoning
national proﬁle. SmithSchuster’s “hide and
seek” touchdown celebration with Bell a week ago
went viral.
Then the bicycle he
rides from his apartment
to the team’s training
facility was stolen , leading to breathless and not
entirely tongue-in-cheek
news coverage before it
was recovered.
Smith-Schuster made
light of it after his recordsetting score against
Detroit, taking a chain

and looping it around a
stationary bike on the
Pittsburgh sideline.
It was a light moment
on a night where the
Steelers again struggled
to put away an opponent.
For all of the talent in the
huddle, Pittsburgh is 30th
in the league in converting red zone possessions
into touchdowns.
Even the typically
sure-handed Bell had a
momentary lapse, fumbling at the Detroit 21
late in the second quarter.
“‘I’m glad we got out
of the game with a ‘W’,
but we still can go back,
look at the ﬁlm and look
at, ‘Oh look, we can clean
this up. We can do this,’”
Bell said.
“We know we haven’t
played our best football
yet and we’re just glad
that we’re able to get the
wins where we’re getting
them, whether they’re
pretty or not.”
Maybe that’s the surest sign of maturity on a
team that will get a muchneeded break before
beginning the second half
of the season at injuryravaged Indianapolis on
Nov. 12 before playing
ﬁve of their ﬁnal seven at
Heinz Field.
“Going to the bye at 6-2
feels really good,” Roethlisberger said. “It can
be frustrating at times
offensively because we’re
not executing the way we
want to, but we’re ﬁnding ways to win football
games.”
