POMEROY — Merchants of Pomeroy will
be opening up their
shops this coming Saturday for Small Business Saturday.
Since 2010, Pomeroy
has participated in
Small Business Saturday which falls the
day after black Friday.
People can do commercial shopping on Friday,
then support their community by hometown
shopping on Saturday.
Susan Clark, owner
of Clark’s Jewelry Store,
has been involved
with Small Business
Saturday coming on 17
years. Clark’s Jewelry
store has been open
since August of 1981.
“I feel very blessed to
continue a jewelry tradition in my beautiful
hometown,” Clark said.
“Our loyal customers
are truly a part of our
family, and it is very
humbling that they
trust in us for their special gifting needs.”
She encourages members of the community
to shop locally because
the proﬁts made are
invested into local
schools and the community. Clark regards
her customers as
friends and values their
business.
Paige Cleek, owner of
Front Paige Outﬁtters,
is in tandem with Clark
on accommodating
to shoppers needs
by providing a
personalized customer
service experience.
Cleek has been in

business for ﬁve years
and has participated
in Small Business
Saturday since she
opened. She shared
this day is her second
best day of business
and after each year her
revenue increases and
she sees fresh faces.
Cleek enjoys working
in her hometown as she
regards her customers
as great people and
her business receives
a numerous amount of
community support.
Cleek encourages
members of the
community to shop
locally because money
spent in the community
comes back to them.
According to Cleek,
“people you know in
your local businesses
will help you.”
The Meigs County
Chamber of Commerce
has put forth effort in
promoting and supporting local business.
Director of the Meigs
County Chamber of
Commerce Whitney
Thoene shared, “businesses support the
community year round
and Small Business
Saturday is the one
day of the year where
people can give their
thanks to those businesses.”

Bill creates
exemptions

The legislation is supported by Columbus
Mayor Andrew Ginther.
He pushed for an initiative that will outﬁt 1,300
Columbus ofﬁcers with
body cameras by the end
of next year.
The bipartisan bill is
co-sponsored by Rep.
Hearcel Craig, a Columbus Democrat.

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — A proposed bill
in the Ohio House would
prohibit the release of
police body camera footage under certain conditions, including video
shot inside a home.
The legislation would
also ban release of video
if it’s considered a conﬁdential investigatory
record, was taken inside
a business or recorded
the victim of a sex crime.
Bill sponsor Niraj
Antani (nih-RAJ’ ahnTAH’-nee) is a GOP

House representative
from Miamisburg in
southwest Ohio. He says
the legislation protects
privacy rights while holding accountable everyone
involved in an encounter
with police.

COLUMBUS, Ohio

killer whose poor veins
led Ohio to halt his
execution has appealed a

judge’s decision upholding the state’s lethal

THEIR VIEW

Times have changed,
for politicians and
for the press
WASHINGTON — Back in the 70s I was
attending an annual editor’s meeting when I was
asked in a conﬁdential session what I was working on. At the time I was a managing editor for investigations

I replied that I didn’t feel

was at least a oneThere was immetime groper before

evance considering
the length of time
that had expired — more than 10 years — and
more importantly to an unwritten rule by editors
nationwide that the private dalliances of public
ofﬁcials and for that matter their drinking habits
were off limits unless there was hard evidence
that they were interfering with the ofﬁce holder’s ability to do his or her job.
“We don’t publish those kinds of stories about
anyone including presidents and besides Kennedy’s escapades have been known for years and
little or nothing has been reported.”
“You’re correct” I responded. “But get ready
that’s about to change and probably sooner than
later few politicians or celebrities are going to
get a pass on their sexual shenanigans.” Then I
felt compelled to provide one more fact to back
up my contention. “Besides,” I said, “The lady in
this case also was a Maﬁa party girl, connected
to Sam Giancana, the Chicago crime boss, and
furthermore J. Edgar Hoover knew about it.”
Finally, there was stunned silence. I couldn’t
resist twisting the knife. “My guess is you will
ﬁnd this serious enough to consider and my
guess also is most of you will want to reconsider
the policy of silence.” Well, it’s taken awhile
but we now have a perfect storm created by the
Internet and the determination of women victimized over the years to right the wrongs.
The Kennedy expose took place not long after
the formation of a special committee known
simply as the Church Committee named after
its chairman, Idaho Democratic Senator Frank
Church, to investigate the intelligence and other
activities of both the CIA and FBI. The problems with the committee were numerous, but
the worse was that Church’s efforts were aimed
mainly at Republican administrations not Democratic.
Church worked overtime to put the lid on our
story, but failed.
Now nearly every news ﬂash unveils the antics
of serial fondlers, fanny pinchers, feel coppers,
mashers and worse from Hollywood West to Hollywood East (Congress). Word came Thursday
that Minnesota Democrat Sen. Al Franken of
Minnesota was at least a one-time groper before
his political career. He has apologized.
As we all know Alabama Republican Senate
candidate Roy Moore’s alleged penchant for
teenage girls years ago while he was in his 30s
has let off such an intensifying stench as to set
his party’s leadership into spasms. They are
desperate to seek his resignation or ﬁnd a way
to deny him the oath of ofﬁce if he wins, which
is utterly possible apparently given the nature of
Alabama voters who are rallying to his side.
First it was Bill Cosby who seemed to have
pushed his idea of consensual to the limit
with the alleged use of drugs. Now it’s Harvey
Weinstein, the bigtime movie producer, who is
accused by countless stars and starlets in La
La Land and elsewhere of hitting on them. The
days when the mainline press conspired to keep
public attention away from the fact that Franklin
Roosevelt was disabled by not publishing his
picture in a wheelchair (or more pertinent in
this case, his affairs with Marguerite “Missy”
Lehand and Lucy Mercer) are long gone as they
should be. That decision, however, helped FDR
win at least one election and perhaps two more
than he should have as his health deteriorated.
The editors who were negligent in reporting
on the private lives of elected ofﬁcials were
wrong. A longtime friend who worked for one
of the Southwest’s leading newspapers while the
silence ban was still being observed asked if I
thought he should report that a speaker of the
U.S. House from his state was an alcoholic and
carouser? “Absolutely,” I said. “He clearly isn’t
doing his job while at the Zebra Room (a favorite watering hole) every afternoon.”
His report was the beginning of the end for
the speaker just as the John Kennedy story
broke some serious ice. By the way, every editor
ran it.

THEIR VIEW

A humble ‘thank you’
Some surviving family
writings from the 1800s
provide perspective on
being thankful for a wide
variety of things. Thus
we may be thankful:

For natural beauty—
Cumberland Gap, 1895
Since the train tunnel
through the mountain
had collapsed, Mary Hosbrook found herself taking a treacherous wagon
ride over the mountain at
sunrise. “On the summit
we were in three states—
Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and I was in a
fourth, a state of bliss. As
far as the eye could see
rose one mountain after
another, a smoky blue
haze hovering around
the tops. Beautiful ﬂowers grew out of the sandstone road.”
For God and Country—
India, 1898
As a missionary in
remote India, my ancestral cousin had a fresh
perspective and appreciation for America.
“Righteousness has
exalted our nation.
The American people
have free speech, a free
press, free schools,
freedom of conscience,
separation of church
and state, and the most

that the deaths of their
daughter and granddaughter were “the most
trying circumstances
I have ever met with.”
Yet he still managed to
soften his searing pain
with an appreciation for
his blessings.
“The all-wise Giver of
every good thing bestows
on his unworthy subjects
the necessities and comforts of life—and yet how
little do we appreciate
the unbounded love and
mercies, both spiritual
and temporal, that He
is constantly bestowing
upon us. I feel at times
that I should blush at my
ingratitude, especially
when I am disposed to
complain at my lot and
consider it a hard one.”
This has been a trying year for our bitterly
divided nation—mass
murders, new lows in
civic discourse, and allegations of misconduct.
And rather than seeing
ourselves as unworthy
subjects, an air of entitlement abounds. Pray that
we may see through the
negatives to unbounded
blessings that should
make us blush at our
ingratitude. May we give
a humble “thank you”
this Thanksgiving.

Ethiopian Airlines
Boeing 767 crashed
into the water off the
Comoros Islands, killing
125 of the 175 people
on board, including all
three hijackers.
Ten years ago:
A Canadian cruise
ship, the MS Explorer,
struck submerged ice off
Antarctica and began
taking on water, but
all 154 passengers and
crew took to lifeboats
and were plucked to
safety by a passing cruise
ship. Robert Vesco, the
American fugitive who
cooked up moneymaking
schemes that allegedly
involved everyone from
Colombian drug lords to
the families of U.S. presidents, reportedly died in
Cuba at age 71.

Is J.T. Barrett the best QB?
Don Speck | The Lima News

Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett (16), who will play his final
regular-season game on Saturday against Michigan, is not
considered a top NFL prospect despite going 35-6 as a starter at
Ohio State, setting 35 school and Big Ten records and winning a
national title.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — J.T.
Barrett helped bring Ohio State
a national championship but has
heard hysterical fans demanding he
be benched. He has broken nearly
every school passing and scoring
record but isn’t considered a top
NFL prospect.
The quarterback who plays his
ﬁnal regular-season game on Saturday against Michigan is more
driven than naturally talented,
more analytical than emotional,
more pragmatic than go-for-broke.
He has struggled with accuracy
and his arm strength is mediocre.
But he’s undeniably a winner.
He’s 35-6 as a starter at Ohio
State and holds 35 school and Big
Ten records. If he beats the Wolverines again, which has to happen

for the No. 8 Buckeyes to have any
shot at getting back to the playoffs,
he will tie Art Schlichter for most
quarterback wins in school history.
Barrett passed four-year starter
Schlichter this season in career
passing yards, and also holds
school records for passing yards
per game, completions, completion
percentage, touchdown passes,
touchdowns responsible for, and
total offense. He’s second only to
Heisman winner Troy Smith in
career passing efﬁciency (157.1 to
153.7).
But it’s not all about the numbers.
“He’s one of the best leaders
I’ve ever been around,” Ohio
State senior tackle Jamarco Jones
said. “He’s also one of the most

competitive people I’ve ever been
around. He just wants to win, and
he’s going to do whatever it takes
to win, and that’s something that
everybody feeds off of.”
His coach, Urban Meyer, says
part of that makes Barrett exceptional is a desire to win that
exceeds physical limitations or ego.
I love J.T.,” Meyer said. “J.T. is a
member of the Meyer family and
the Buckeye family for the rest of
his life.”
Yet Ohio State fans haven’t
appreciated him as much at times.
Maybe because he was sitting
out with a broken ankle when the
Buckeyes won the national championship in 2014. Or maybe because

Miami gets
bump to No. 2 in
playoff rankings
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

Miami made a small but potentially signiﬁcant
move up to No. 2 behind Alabama in the College
Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night,
with Clemson slipping one spot to three and
Oklahoma holding at four.
Wisconsin and Auburn remained next up
behind the top four in a week when the top
half of the selection committee’s rankings were
mostly unchanged.
Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State
and Southern California followed in the same
order as they did last week. Over the next two
weeks, every team in the top nine will play
another team ranked in the committee’s top
25, including four games matching top playoff
contenders.
The Crimson Tide will play at Auburn on
Saturday to decide a spot in the Southeastern
Conference championship on Dec. 2. The
winner plays Georgia.
The Atlantic Coast Conference championship
will match Clemson and Miami on Dec. 2, and
Wisconsin and Ohio State play in the Big Ten
championship.
Miami’s move comes after rallying to
beat Virginia last Saturday. Committee
chairman Kirby Hocutt said Miami is showing
characteristics of a championship team.
“When you get down the way Miami did to
Virginia two times, once in each half, and you
have the poise and the ability to come back and
win in a convincing manner, that is special,”
said Hocutt, the Texas Tech athletic director.
The Hurricanes (10-0) play at Pitt Friday
and now seem better positioned to get into the
playoff even with a loss to Clemson, depending
on how things play out in other conferences.
Central Florida came in at No. 15 and
Memphis is 20th, the highest ranked teams from
outside the Power Five. The American Athletic
Conference rivals could meet in the league title
game in two weeks if UCF beats USF on Black
Friday, setting up a game that would likely send
the winner into a New Year’s Six bowl.

Wisconsin can also

loss to Ohio State — or
Oklahoma losing to TCU

— opens to the door to

The committee could

year Ohio State was
the latter and got in on
the strength of three
victories against top-10

can match that without
winning its conference

with the Baseball Writers’
Association of America.
The letter from the vice
chairman of the Hall’s
board of directors was
sent Tuesday using a Hall
email address.
“Steroid users don’t
belong here,” Morgan
wrote. “What they did
shouldn’t be accepted.
Times shouldn’t change
for the worse.”
Hall voters have been
wrestling with the issue
of performance-enhancing drugs for several
years. Baseball held a
survey drug test in 2003

Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan is urging voters to keep
“known steroid users” out of Cooperstown. A day after the Hall
revealed its 33-man ballot for the 2018 class, the 74-year-old
Morgan argued against the inclusion of players implicated during
baseball’s steroid era in a letter to voters with the Baseball Writers’
Association of America. The letter was sent Tuesday using a Hall
email address.

and the sport began testing for banned steroids

the following year with
penalties. Accusations

connected to some of the
candidates for the Hall
vary in strength from
allegations with no evidence to positive tests
that caused suspensions.
About 430 ballots are
being sent to voters,
who must have been
members of the BBWAA
for 10 consecutive years,
and a player needs at
least 75 percent for election. Ballots are due by
Dec. 31 and results will
be announced Jan. 24.
Writers who had not
been covering the game
for more than a decade
were eliminated from the
rolls in 2015, creating a
younger electorate that
has shown more willingness to vote for players
tainted by accusations of
steroid use. Barry Bonds
and Roger Clemens each
received a majority of
votes for the ﬁrst time in
2017 in their ﬁfth year
on the ballot.
Morgan said he isn’t
speaking for every Hall
of Famer, but many of
them feel the same way

that he does.
“Players who failed
drug tests, admitted
using steroids, or were
identiﬁed as users in
Major League Baseball’s investigation into
steroid abuse, known
as the Mitchell Report,
should not get in,” Morgan wrote. “Those are
the three criteria that
many of the players and
I think are right.”
Jon Shestakofsky, a
spokesman for the Hall
of Fame, called Morgan’s
letter “a Hall of Famer
initiative.”
“Our role at the Hall
of Fame was to support
our players who feel
strongly enough about
this issue that they
decided to speak out,”
Shestakofsky said in an
email. “They took the
lead and asked us to
provide administrative
support to help get their
message out.”
Jeff Bagwell, Tim
Raines and Ivan Rodriguez were inducted into
the Hall in July. They

were joined by former
Commissioner Bud Selig
and retired Kansas City
and Atlanta executive
John Schuerholz, who
were voted in by a veterans committee.
Some baseball writers said the election
of Selig, who presided
over the steroids era,
inﬂuenced their view of
whether tainted stars
should gain entry to the
Hall.
Morgan praised
BBWAA voters and
acknowledged they are
facing a “tricky issue,”
but he also warned some
Hall of Famers might not
make the trip to Cooperstown if steroid users
are elected.
“The cheating that
tainted an era now
risks tainting the Hall
of Fame too,” he wrote.
“The Hall of Fame
means too much to us
to ever see that happen.
If steroid users get in, it
will divide and diminish
the Hall, something we
couldn’t bear.”

Michigan’s offense has been shaky against winning teams
ANN ARBOR, Mich.
(AP) — Michigan has
failed to run the ball
effectively against teams
with winning records
this season, leading to
three setbacks.
The Wolverines averaged just 88 yards
rushing in losses to Wisconsin, Penn State and
Michigan State.
In wins over eight
teams with losing
records, they ran for 234
yards on average.
That doesn’t seem to
bode well for the Wolverines (8-3, 5-3 Big Ten)
against No. 8 Ohio State
(9-2, 7-1), especially

because they may be relegated to putting their
third-best option, John
O’Korn, at quarterback.
Wilton Speight, a
second-year starter,
has been out for two
months with broken
vertebrae and has only
been cleared to practice without contact so
far. Brandon Peters ,
who replaced O’Korn
a month ago, is in concussion protocol after
taking a hard hit against
the Badgers.
“We practice with
each and every single
one of them throughout
the week so that way,

no matter who is in the
game, we can produce,”
running back Karan Higdon said.
O’Korn may be the
healthiest quarterback
for coach Jim Harbaugh,
who has consistently
praised the ﬁfth-year
senior despite lackluster
statistics. In at least
parts of seven games
this season, he has completed a little more than
50 percent of his passes
for 761 yards with one
touchdown — against
Purdue — and ﬁve interceptions. O’Korn played
well in relief of Speight
against the Boilermak-

ers, but didn’t do enough
in the following three
games to keep his job.
“John has remained
diligent every single
week to preparation and
the game plan, always
sitting on a spring ready
to play,” Harbaugh said.
Even though Michigan’s offense has struggled against good teams,
Urban Meyer said he
“absolutely” expects its
offense to bounce back
against the Buckeyes.
“That’s the history of
this game,” Meyer said.
“Both teams play their
best.”
The Wolverines were

clicking on offense during a three-game winning streak before losing
to the Badgers in large
part because they were
determined to establish
the run and their offense
line was able to open up
holes over inferior opponents: Maryland, Minnesota, Rutgers. They
ran for an average of 288
yards in those games
and scored 11 times on
the ground. Against the
Gophers, Higdon ran for
200 yards — for the second time this season —
and Chris Evans gained
191 yards rushing.
When Michigan has

been able to lean on its
running game, it has
made life easier for its
quarterbacks. When
the running game has
been slowed down, as it
was at Wisconsin with
just 58 yards rushing,
the Wolverines have
not been able to rely
on their passing game.
They have thrown nearly
30 times in three losses,
but have gained fewer
than 200 yards passing
in each of those games
and O’Korn threw
three interceptions in a
ﬁve-turnover game for
Michigan against the
Spartans.

AP All-America Watch: Va Tech LB Edmunds and Heisman winner
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

The Associated Press
has been honoring
college football’s best
with an All-America
team since 1925. This
season, the AP released
its ﬁrst preseason AllAmerica team and its
ﬁrst midseason team.
The full three-team AllAmerica selections are
unveiled in December.
The 10th installment of
the weekly All-America
watch features a
linebacker from Virginia
Tech, Louisville’s
forgotten Heisman
Trophy winner and an

All-America matchup
that could decide the
Iron Bowl.

The junior is one
of ﬁve ﬁnalists for
the Butkus Award,
which goes to the
top linebacker in the
country. The Hokies
have been ranked in the
Top 25 for most of the
season with an offense
that has played in ﬁts
and starts behind a
ﬁrst-year quarterback.
The defense has
been typically solid
throughout, and
