The announcement came at the University of Dayton in front of a cadre of family, friends, and other elected ofﬁcials where DeWine — a Cedarville resident — called Husted “uniquely qualiﬁed and ready.” “The most important decision that a governor makes is actually made well before taking ofﬁce and that is to choose the lieutenant governor candidate,” DeWine, 70, said. “I’ve thought a lot about this. That person must really be someone who can help the ticket … ﬁnding the right person who can help govern.

POMEROY — Democratic candidate for Ohio Auditor Zack Space made a stop in Pomeroy on Wednesday as part of his three-day “Ohio River Tour to Restore.” Space spoke about the issues with the current political system, including the impact of money in politics. Space explained his reasons for coming to Southern Ohio and running for Auditor. Announcing his campaign earlier this year in Martins Ferry, Space said that Martins Ferry is much like Pomeroy, Gallipolis and other cities and areas in the region which have been left behind by the current democracy. The most basic fundamentals and principles have been compromised by money and political self interest, said Space.

GOP tax bill gains support; Senate leaders work on holdouts By Marcy Gordon and Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leaders wrangled with the last few GOP holdouts Thursday as they pushed toward passing the ﬁrst major rewrite of the nation’s tax code in more than three decades. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he expected a ﬁnal vote late Thursday or early Friday on a $1.4 trillion package that would slash the corporate tax rate, offer more modest cuts for families and individuals and eliminate several popular deductions. Lawmakers would then try to reconcile the Senate package with one passed by the House in the hope of delivering a major legislative accomplishment to President Donald Trump by Christmas. Republicans have cast passage of a tax overhaul as a political imperative to ensure they hold their House and Senate majorities in next year’s midterm elections. “We’re heading down the homestretch,” McConnell told reporters Thursday. In a dramatic roll call that lasted an hour, the package cleared a procedural hurdle that threatened to derail the GOP’s entire tax drive. a wonderful man. And that’s all we can say about him.

DeWine Facility From page 1 From page 1 “As I campaigned across Ohio, I would constantly hear from Republicans who were tired of all the ﬁghting,” Husted, 50, said. “They wondered why we just couldn’t work things out and work together because were all supposed to be serving them. If I had continued my run for governor, Mike and I would have fought a brutal campaign that would have left the winner bruised and broken with only a few minutes to rebuild in time for the general election. We agreed that the best way for us to serve Ohio was to serve together.” Husted told his supporters that all of his plans, goals, and visions would still be accomplished. “The only thing what will change is my job title,” he said. Both said they would be ready to tackle all of Ohio’s issues from day one. DeWine said ﬁghting the opioid epidemic and ensuring all Ohioans are “career or college ready” out of high school are the two priorities. “We’ve got a couple of big challenges and AT-CPC of Ohio LLC (Akron, Summit County) Cresco Labs Ohio LLC (Yellow Springs, Greene County) Parma Wellness Center LLC (Parma, Cuyahoga County) Harvest Grows LLC (Hamilton Township, Lawrence County) Harvest Grows LLC (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County) Interested parties could submit multiple applications, but can only receive one provisional license.

With Husted dropping out of the race to team up with DeWine, it leaves U.S. Rep Jim Renacci of Wadsworth and current Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor as the other Republican candidates.

Space explained that money has been taken from local education to give to ECOT, with the money unable to be tracked once it is placed in private investment funds. He sited a 40 percent graduation rate for the school, and a 30 percent daily attendance rate. Money holds a large inﬂuence in politics, stated Space, citing examples. First, Space stated that ofﬁcials can spend 10, 20 or more hours per week on fundraising which is a waste of time when they could be dealing with problems and what they were elected to do. Secondly, money has an improper inﬂuence on the creation of laws and policies. He added that he understands why people voted for President Donald Trump last fall, as the process has given credence to the claim of Trump that the system is rigged, as it is rigged by money and political self interest. ”Your democracy is for Sarah Hawley | Sentinel State Representative candidate Taylor Sappington, left, briefly addressed those in attendance before Zack Space, right, spoke. sale,” said Space. The democracy is also compromised by the way districts are drawn every 10 years in the state, said Space. The provision on redistricting has been “weaponized,” allowing the party in power at the time to draw the districts in a way to allow for them to remain in ofﬁce and keep power. Government is an active participant in the division of our society with the districts drawn as they are, said Space. The only risk to incumbents is in the primary with someone more to the right or left than the incumbent. The center and those a little left or right are not being represented, said Space. Space added that there is a growing divide between areas that have money and areas that do not in the state, and that this democracy is not helping this part of the state. Space, a former U.S. Congressman, represented a portion of Appalachian counties during his time in Congress. Roger Grace, a former United Methodist Pastor and co-founder of the Meigs Cooperative Parish, brieﬂy introduced the candidate. Taylor Sappington, a Democrat from Nelsonville, was also present at the event. The current Nelsonville Councilman has announced his intent to run for State Representative of the 94th district next year. Earlier in the day, Space met with superintendents in Gallia County. He concluded the day with visits to Glouster and Belpre before continuing through southeast Ohio on Wednesday. After speaking at the library, Space visited the Mulberry Community Center, which is home to the Meigs Cooperative Parish. Tradition ville area as announced earlier in November. The smaller growers announced in early November by the Department of Commerce would cultivate up to 3,000 square feet. That’s a small portion of the anticipated cultivation.

The 11 chosen growers for the Level II applied for sites in Butler, Clinton, Fairﬁeld, Franklin, Lorain, Lucas, Meigs, Montgomery, Portage, Stark and Summit counties. Two companies applied for multiple locations and must decide on one.

Isaiah writes, “…The wisdom of the wise will pass away, and the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear” (Isa. 29:14 NLT). Indeed, true wisdom is Jesus Christ himself. As the Apostle Paul writes, “God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our beneﬁt God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us Maybe you, like me, pure and holy, and he have questions lingering freed us from sin” (1 in your mind, such as: Cor. 1:30 NLT). “What will he think?” As he continues his “What will she say?” letter to the Corin“Did I say the right thian church, Paul states, thing?” “Those who are spiritual “What if I ruin our can evaluate all things, Teen but they themselves can- Testimony relationship?” It’s exhausting. It’s not be evaluated by othIsaiah debilitating. And it takes ers. For, ‘Who can know Pauley the joy out of life. How the LORD’s thoughts? can you enjoy God’s presWho knows enough to teach him?’ But we understand ence if you’re always focused on what others think? these things, for we have the But that’s not the only form mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:15-16 of acceptance I struggle with. I NLT). According to the Bible, even also struggle to accept myself. I need to be more like Paul. He though I’m young and naïve, writes, “As for me, it matters I have the mind of Christ. Therefore, God has graced me very little how I might be evaluated by you [Corinthians] or to share His Word with you— by any human authority. I don’t even if you’re older and more even trust my own judgment experienced than myself. Unfortunately, I struggle with on this point. My conscience is clear, but that doesn’t prove acceptance on a daily basis. I’m right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide” (1 Cor. 4:3-4 NLT). In other words, Paul says, “It doesn’t matter what you think about me. It doesn’t even matter what I think about myself. All that matters is what God thinks about me.” Well, let me tell you. God has a lot to say about His children. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” (Eph. 2:10 NLT). “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault” (Col. 1:22 NLT). “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” (Rom. 8:31 NLT). God’s children are victorious (Rom. 8:37), free (Gal. 5:1), and born again (1 Pet. 1:23). And for those wondering—yes, you are accepted. The Bible says, “Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you…” (Rom. 15:7 NLT). You see, God wants us to live from a point of acceptance, not to a point of acceptance. As you go about your day, don’t worry about ﬁnding acceptance. Instead, live conﬁdently because Jesus Christ has already accepted you. Live from God’s acceptance, not to the acceptance of others…or yourself. Isaiah Pauley is a senior at Wahama High School.

This coming Sunday, December 3rd is the start of something special – a special time of the year called Advent. Advent is the four weeks before Christmas when we “get ready” and prepare for Jesus’ God’s Kids birth in cattle Korner that barn in Pastor Ann Bethlehem Moody so long ago. The word Advent means getting ready for an event that is about to happen. We use these weeks leading up to Christmas as a chance to think about the arrival of Baby Jesus, who will be our Savior, the Light of the World. At church or even at home, you may light Advent candles, say special prayers, mark off the days on an Advent calendar, and/or sing special songs. Our church in Wilkesville is doing something special these next weeks before Christmas. We are taking a trip so to speak with a program called The Star: A Journey to Christmas. Every week, we are going to journey and celebrate one of the themes of Advent – Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace. This ﬁrst week we will follow the star of “Hope.” Over the next few weeks, my children sermons will reﬂect those same themes as we continue to follow The Star all the way to Bethlehem. Have you ever thought about hope? I know, you “hope” you get what you want for Christmas, or you hope you get a good grade on a test, or you hope you win the big game. But I’m talking about Jesus and His hope for the world and for each one of us. Jesus’ birth was a promise God gave to us a long, long time ago – a Messiah- that would come and save us from our sins and make a way for us to See ADVENT | 6 eternal point of view.

Proverbs 30:5-6; 2 Timothy 3:15-17) Men should pay attention to them. It matters how we worship, how God established the church to be run, and whether or not we are striving to do our best to be obedient to God and Christ in all things (cf. Colossians 3:17) At the same time, camel swallowing is equally foolish. Jesus pointed to Righteousness, Mercy, and Faith, as some of the weightier matters men should deal with ﬁrst. If you are shacking up with your girlfriend (or boyfriend), stealing from your boss, constantly losing your temper with others, and focusing your life on getting ahead materially, then you have some obvious and immediate issues that need dealt with in your life, and until those things are dealt with, the rest is almost immaterial. Get the camel out of your soup, and then you will be able to see better whether there are any ﬂies you should also deal with. God wants us to have a holistic approach to our spiritual life, paying attention to matters small and great, not going either to the left, nor to the right of what He teaches us to do. If this is a need in your life, and you would like to learn more about God’s plan for your life, the church of Christ invites you to study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. Likewise, if you have any questions, please share them with us through our website: chapelhillchurchofchrist.org Parade lineup will begin at 4 p.m. in the area of Dairy Queen and First Street.

It was also the retort the senior gave Wednesday when informed he was Ohio’s 31st Mr. Football Award winner. Previously bestowed by the Associated Press, the Ohio Mr. Football Award is being presented by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association this season. Each of Ohio’s districts nominated players for the honor, which was decided by a statewide vote. An unlikely candidate as the state’s top individual in August, Baughman blossomed into a favorite by leading Wadsworth to its ﬁrst undefeated season since 1996 and just its fourth overall. The Grizzlies also went unblemished in 1966 and 1967. Wadsworth won the Suburban League, hosted (and won) a ﬁrst round playoff game and averaged 50.8 points per game during the regular season. “In the preseason our goals were to win the Suburban League, go undefeated and host a ﬁrst round playoff game,” Baughman said. “There was talk of going 15-0 or what not, but those were our big three goals.” Baughman was a big reason the Grizzlies achieved each. He ended the season with 3,079 yards passing and 1,523 yards rushing. Baughman threw for 36 touchdowns and ran for 20. He earned the nickname “Joey Football” by September. “I didn’t think about Mr. Football until the playoffs started,” Baughman said. “That’s when (head) coach (Justin) Todd showed me my numbers and mentioned it. After that ﬁrst playoff game I knew it was a possibility.” In that contest, a 61-42 Division II regional quarterﬁnal win over Sylvania Northview, Baughman threw for 229 yards and ﬁve touchdowns, carried the ball 14 times for 191 yards and a touchdown and completed a 2-point conversion pass. He had comparable performances during the regular season, throwing for a Medina Countyrecord 416 yards in a win over North Royalton. Baughman’s most impressive senior stat? Three interceptions in 331 attempts.

That’s when Sophia Fortner stopped playing. A senior point guard on the Grizzlies girls basketball team and a University of Toledo recruit, Fortner was the Wadsworth senior class’s quarterback through seventh-grade. Baughman took snaps starting in eighth. Fortner helped Wadsworth win the 2016 D-I basketball state title. Baughman hopes to win a state title himself this winter. A University of Virginia wrestling recruit, Baughman is a two-time D-I state runner-up. He ﬁnished second at 170 pounds as a junior and second at 160 as a sophomore. He was ﬁfth at 145 as a freshman. “I certainly have some unﬁnished business,” Baughman said. “I’m looking for that state title.” Baughman, who enters his ﬁnal season 112-17, picked the Cavaliers over Ohio State, North Carolina, Oregon State and Appalachian State. This year’s Mr. Football Award ﬁeld was diverse and well respected. Five different players earned a ﬁrst place vote. TrotwoodMadison senior running back Ra’Vion Hargrove ﬁnished second.

Badgers star Jonathan Taylor on verge of freshman rush mark MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Jonathan Taylor’s most important carry of the year may have come before No. 3 Wisconsin took a regular-season snap. The setting: a scrimmage in the second week of training camp. Taylor busted through what would become one of the nation’s best defenses for a big play. It was a sign of things to come. The Badgers’ breakout star is 120 yards away from breaking the major college rushing record in a season for a freshman, set by Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson in 2004 (1,925 yards). The stage is set for the most important night yet of his young career, against No. 8 Ohio State at the Big Ten title game on Saturday with a College Football Playoff berth on the line. A productive outing and a win against the Buckeyes (10-2, No. 8 CFP) could also strengthen Taylor’s postseason award resume and earn him a potential invite to New York as a Heisman Trophy ﬁnalist. “I feel as that it will be a big step, having a great game,” Taylor said when asked about the possibility to be selected a Heisman ﬁnalist. His top goal, though, is clear. A loss spoils an undefeated season for Wisconsin (12-0, No. 4 Morry Gash | AP file Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor runs past Michigan’s Josh Metellus earlier this year in Madison, Wis. The Badgers’ breakout star is 120 yards away from breaking the major college rushing record in a season for a freshman, set by Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson in 2004 (1,925 yards). CFP) and overshadows hype about individual accolades. “That doesn’t really impact how I prepare,” Taylor said. “I don’t prepare for an award — I prepare for the team we’re going to play.” It has been quite the rise to stardom for Taylor, the 5-foot-11, 214pound dynamo from Salem, New Jersey, who boasts a blend of power, agility, vision and breakaway speed. He wasn’t even on the two-deep chart to start the season. But he had already caught his teammates’ attention by then. “I’ve really never seen anyone break four or ﬁve tackles against our defense like that on that one particular play,” tight end Troy Fumagalli said of Taylor’s eye-opening carry during the training camp scrimmage. 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News at Six (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Newswatch (N) Meigs youth holiday tournament set RUTLAND, Ohio — The Pomeroy and Middleport youth leagues will be holding there annual holiday youth basketball tournament at the 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Taylor has been entrenched as the starter since then. Taylor leads the Big Ten averaging 150.5 yards per game and 7.0 yards per carry. He needed just seven games to reach 1,000 yards for the season, tying the FBS record for fewest games for a freshman to reach the plateau shared by ﬁve other players. “Big, physical, run downhill, run straight at you,” Ohio State linebacker Jerome Baker said of the Badgers’ run game. “They’re going to tell you … ‘Are (you) going to stop it?’ And you have to stop it.” Defensive end Sam Hubbard compared Taylor to Ohio State’s own productive freshman tailback, J.K.

Sure, let’s go with that. Before every primetime game, the longtime left guard will gather his teammates around him and remind them that the rest of the NFL has stopped. There is only one game on. And the Steelers are playing in it. Their peers are watching. So, potentially, are all the doubters. Time to put them in their place. “I tell the guys, ‘For everybody that said you weren’t going to make it, this is why (we play),’” Foster said Wednesday. “For the teacher that failed you in geometry in the 10th grade, this is why. For the girl that didn’t give you her number, this is why you’re playing. Whatever the reason is. It’s mentioned. Whatever the motivation is, it’s out there.” Whatever it is, it’s working. Pittsburgh (9-2) has won 10 straight games (playoffs included) that kicked off after 7 p.m. heading into a visit to Cincinnati (5-6) next Monday. The Steelers are in the middle of a stretch in which they play four straight in prime-time. “I don’t know if there’s any secret recipe to it,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “Maybe we’re just night rangers.” Or maybe the offense that sometimes looks sleepy underneath the sun’s glare gets it together when the lights are on.

Billy Price was named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year and Barrett was Quarterback of the Year for a record-setting third year in a row. Ohio State players have won the Defensive Lineman of the Year award four years in a row. Joey Bosa won in 2014 and 2015 and Tyquan Lewis won last season. This is the third straight year an OSU player has been Offensive Lineman of the Year. Taylor Decker won in 2015 and Pat Elﬂein won last year. COACHES STAYING: Two Ohio State assistants were contacted about open head coaching jobs and another assistant turned down a coordinator’s job, Meyer said on his radio show. “I don’t want to have those conversations now because we expect laser focus,” Meyer said. “There were a couple of opportunities. Two, in particular, turned it down and said, ‘I’m ready, let’s go beat Wisconsin.’ “There are two types of coaches –ones they want and one’s they don’t want. We’ve got a lot of ‘wants.’ As long as that’s happening that means I’ve hired the right people,” he said. LETDOWN AFTER PENN STATE?: Ohio State assistant coach Kerry Coombs alluded to an emotional letdown in a 55-24 loss at Iowa a week after an unreal fourth quarter comeback to beat Penn State on Meyer’s weekly radio show. “It’s something we probably didn’t handle very well the last time we had an emotional victory,” Coombs said in response to a question about playing another big game a week after beating Michigan. “I think Coach (Meyer) is great about getting a laser focus. We’ll enjoy last week’s game in the offseason. I don’t think we lack emotion or focus or any of those things.” ONE MORE FROM COOMBS: Talking about the recent birth of his ﬁfth grandchild, Coombs said, “We’ve had two this fall. We just found out we’ve got a sixth on the way. My kids are a fertile bunch. They (grandchildren) are coming fast and furious. We’ll have six under ﬁve years old.” Truex, Pollex win NASCAR’s top award for contributions funds for awareness on childhood and teenage cancer, even before Pollex was ﬁrst diagnosed with ovarian cancer a little over three years ago. Pollex suffered a recurrence this year as Truex was putting together his championship season. The couple hosted their eighth annual Catwalk for a Cause, a charitable fashion show/beneﬁt, this season and raised more than $500,000. Truex didn’t discuss his series-best eight victories this season, or the championship that came in his 12th season at NASCAR’s top level. Instead, he touched on how pleased he and Pollex have been to assist those in need. “I think Sherry and I have been very fortunate in our lives to have all the things we’ve needed,” Truex said. “Great families, great parents that raised us right and taught us right from wrong. They probably deserve a lot of the credit for us being who we are and being able to give back to people.” Pollex’s “Drive for Teal & Gold” campaign in September also raised funds and awareness for ovarian and childhood cancers. LAS VEGAS (AP) — The career year for Martin Truex Jr. rolls on. Truex and partner Sherry Pollex on Wednesday won the prestigious Myers Brothers Award — the top honor in NASCAR’s season-ending awards celebration — for their charitable work. The award is presented by the National Motorsports Press Association and given as the ﬁnal honor during a formal event that leads to Thursday night’s champion celebration. Truex will be feted there for his ﬁrst career Cup title, a presentation he is prepared for. But winning the Myers Brothers Award was a shock to both Truex and Pollex, and both struggled to hold back tears as they received the honor. “I didn’t see this coming,” Truex said. “I didn’t either, and I’m going to try not to cry,” replied Pollex. The award is named for NASCAR pioneers Billy and Bobby Myers and recognizes individuals and/or groups who have provided outstanding contributions to the sport of stock car racing.
