Middleport Masonic Lodge holds installation MIDDLEPORT — Jonathan Newsome of Middleport has been elected and installed as Master of Middleport Masonic Lodge No. 363. Newsome was installed by RWB Donald L. Stivers, Past District Deputy Grand Master of the 12th Masonic District and Past Master of Middleport Masonic Lodge and Shade River Masonic Lodge. This 151st annual installation of officers was held Dec. 5, at The Middleport Masonic Temple. In his position as Master, Newsome is the presiding officer and head of the Lodge. The title of “Master,” instead of “President,” reflects the Masonic tradition of using ceremonies and titles from the stonemasons of the Middle Ages. When the great cathedrals of Europe were being built, the Mason in charge of a building site was referred to as a “master of the work.” Other officers installed during the ceremony were Gary Coleman — Senior Warden; Jordan Pickens — Junior Warden; Guy Bing II — Secretary; Jeffery Fields — Treasurer; Jeff Warner — Senior Deacon; Casey Pickens — Junior Deacon; Donald Stivers — Chaplain and Lodge Education Officer; Billy Goble — Tyler; Ed Neutzling — Senior Steward and Trustee; Beau Diddle — Junior Steward. Freemasonry is the oldest, largest and most widely recognized fraternal organization in the world. Today, there are more than 2 million Freemasons in North America alone. Charity is an important tenet of the Masonic fraternity. The 90,000 Freemasons in Ohio provide approximately $15 million in charitable giving annually, including college scholarships, support of the Special Olympics Ohio Summer Games, and free training for Ohio school teachers to recognize students at non-academic risk.

OH-70017164 OH-70019434 MAIN LOBBY �E ditorial 4A Sunday, December 10, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel THEIR VIEW Congressional Republicans channel Trump in bashing the FBI Los Angeles Times Following President Trump’s questionable lead, some congressional Republicans are trying to sow doubt about the integrity and impartiality of the FBI and the investigation led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. That investigation already has resulted in an indictment of Trump’s former campaign chairman and a guilty plea by his first national security advisor, and it shows no sign of concluding. On Thursday, four days after Trump tweeted that the FBI’s reputation was “in tatters,” Rep. Robert W. Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told FBI Director Christopher A. Wray: “We cannot afford for the FBI — which has traditionally been dubbed the premier law enforcement agency in the world — to become tainted by politicization or the perception of a lack of even-handedness.” True enough, but the question is whether such a perception is fair or the result of politically motivated exaggeration by the president and his supporters. So far the evidence points strongly in the latter direction. That comes as no surprise — the attacks on the FBI fit a clear pattern of misdirection and deflection by the Trump administration and its GOP allies on the issue of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Ever since Mueller was appointed, there has been an effort by the president and his allies to discredit the special counsel’s investigation. Take the incident that Republicans are treating as a “smoking gun”: the fact that an FBI agent named Peter Strzok was reassigned from Mueller’s investigation earlier this year after it was discovered that he had sent personal text messages critical of Trump to another FBI official. Strzok also was involved in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for State Department business, and some Republicans speculate that he softened the FBI’s conclusion about Clinton’s culpability. Trump has made a similar accusation. On Sunday he tweeted: “Report: “ANTI-TRUMP FBI AGENT LED CLINTON EMAIL PROBE” Now it all starts to make sense!” Their claim isn’t supported by any evidence, however, just their deep, abiding belief that Clinton should not have been let off the hook. Wray, testifying before the Judiciary Committee, declined to comment in detail about Strzok because of a current investigation by the Justice Department’s inspector general. In general, he told the committee, “we will hold our folks accountable, if that’s appropriate.” Even if Strzok didn’t violate any Justice Department regulation, expressing political opinions may have been indiscreet in light of the sensitivity of the investigation. The fact that Strzok was transferred suggests that his supervisors recognized that there was an appearance problem. But at this point, no one has presented even a shred of evidence that Strzok was influenced by his political beliefs in the way he performed his duties, either as part of the Mueller investigation or in connection with the Clinton email inquiry. Although it may be impossible to satisfy Republicans on these issues, it’s appropriate for the inspector general to investigate not only Strzok’s conduct but the Clinton email investigation as a whole, including decisions made by former FBI Director James B. Comey to discuss publicly his unusual decision not to recommend that Clinton face criminal charges. What isn’t needed is a special counsel to reexamine the Clinton investigation, as some Republicans are demanding. Deputy Atty. Gen. Rod Rosenstein — whom Trump put in office — is perfectly capable of deciding whether there is any reason to revisit the Clinton case. The larger context here is that ever since Mueller was appointed, there has been an effort by the president and his allies to discredit the special counsel’s investigation — for example, by pointing to the fact that some lawyers on his staff made political contributions to Clinton or other Democrats. There also have been attempts by the president’s allies to change the subject, such as the claim that the real scandal was improper “unmasking” of members of the Trump transition team whose communications with foreign governments were intercepted by U.S. intelligence. The unmasking allegations have proved to be a non-scandal too. Finally, while the president’s lawyers insist that he wants to cooperate with Mueller, Trump might be tempted to enact his own version of Richard Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre — firing Mueller and any Justice Department official who gets in the way — if he thought Republicans in Congress would go along. They shouldn’t give him that opening by casting aspersions on the professionalism of the FBI. THEIR VIEW A first time experience Many young people in Southern Ohio learn to deer hunt at an early age: a rite of passage. As a young person in Gallia County, I spent many hours on sports fields, at Boy Scout camps, and backpacking in the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains; hunting was never an activity in our household. Through a family at Good News Baptist Church I was soon introduced to hunting at 23. Denver Garber began teaching me about hunting. On his family farm there are several deer stands set to promote the harvesting of deer. The year 2016 was when the itch to hunt first struck, and I was limited to the last weekend of gun season in Ohio. Those two days in January were cold and fruitless for me in the stand. The failed attempt minute drive to the taught me sevfarm, and hiked eral lessons, the into the woods. I first of which is was in the stand patience.

He took two steps out from behind the tree, truck, and made the 30 leaving his left shoulder exposed to me. At 7:45 a.m., I knew I had my only chance to take this buck. I raised my gun, aimed my sights center on his shoulder, and pulled the trigger. The sound of a 12 gauge firing in the still quiet of the morning was deafening. The buck started north over the ridge, limping at a run. I waited, watching as far as I could see him. After losing sight, I climbed out of the stand and went to to confirm a hit. Seeing fur on the ground, I called Denver confirming my shot. Soon we were moving through the woods, frost still on the ground, tracking the injured buck following the disturbed leaves on the ground. Here we encountered another hunter that saw See EXPERIENCE | 5A THEIR VIEW Tax plan penalizes graduate students The Seattle Times federal taxes, the House Republican plan would increase the average Living on a student’s bill to $4,236 a $32,000-a-year stipend year for in-state students in the Seattle area is and $5,774 for nonresino easy feat.

It also could deter people from pursuing advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, which are in high demand in today’s economy. Nationwide, about 145,000 graduate students receive a tuition reduction each year. “They are the next generation of desperately needed doctors, nurses, computer scientists, engineers and farmers in our state that will continue to build and inno- vate in our economy,” wrote UW President Ana Mari Cauce and WSU President Kirk Schulz in a letter to members of the state’s congressional delegation. Congress should remove this provision from the tax plan as they negotiate the final version of the legislation. Cutting the corporate tax rate is expected to cost the government about $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Taxing graduate students’ tuition waivers would offset those costs by $5.4 billion. If the goal of the tax package is to make the United States more economically competitive, penalizing students and higher education is not the way to do it.

With Daisy, the blood hound, still in the lead, we directed her along the best possible path, which led past a large honeysuckle thicket. The branches and leaves began to shake violently as our prey began to move about inside the thicket. I rushed around the east side, eager to see the buck; and there in a hole in the thicket I saw him. Five yards away, he stared me down. It was at this point my adrenaline was rushing the most. More than waiting to take the first shot, more than tracking him through the woods. It was at this precise moment that I had to react swiftly and effectively to be successful. I raised my gun, aimed at the center of his chest, and took my third and final shot of the day. As the slug entered the deer, he collapsed to the ground and died. After the buck had died we dragged him from the brush and field dressing him. Denver told me what to do, making sure I did so correctly. This was my first deer after all. Gutting the buck certainly ranks high on my list of disgusting things I have done, but I am glad to have done it. After getting the deer back to the barn, he weighed 150 pounds and had a decent eight point rack. Denver and I skinned and butchered the deer, processing the meat into steaks, roasts, and burger. The hindquarters I kept whole to make jerky. The emotional response of killing my first animal — let alone a buck — was mixed. There was joy for certain over the thrill of the hunt and the success of the day. The pleasure in succeeding as a hunter has a way of validating a person. There was also a somber nature to it, having taken the life of an animal. While I was proud of my accomplishment, I also recognized that this was not something to take lightly. There was also thankfulness. I was thankful for the plethora of new experiences, for the opportunity to share in them with my dear friend Editor’s Note: The Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel appreciate your input to the community calendar.

We spotted the buck again, 40 yards to the north of us downhill. He remained stationary so I lined up to take a second shot, which passed through his chest cavity missing his major organs. Deer are notorious for their ability to keep running on adrenaline long after they have suffered a fatal injury, which explains why this particular white-tail led us on another chase. We sat and waited, hoping the animal would lay down and bleed out from its wounds. We took up the pursuit heading up the next ridge over where we American Legion Post 39 selling fruit baskets POMEROY — Drew Webster American Legion Post 39 will be selling fruit baskets for the holiday season.

I am thankful for all that this deer has provided for my family; a gladness for its provision in death and not wasting it. What is most likely the central theme, is my gratitude for nature and the way our world works. My eyes have been opened to a whole new aspect of our culture and our world here in Appalachia. The way many young people learn to appreciate nature and life by hunting is not lost on me, rather it has affected me on a personal level. Will I hunt again? I would say most definitely. My freezer is full of good meat, and I chew on some deer jerky as I write this. In the future I hope to share this experience with children of my own, if that should come to pass. Until then, I hope to enjoy the fruit of my harvest and the friendship that has grown from it.

In any submarine but the second event, it was the first What do the Meigs County village of Middleport, the city of St. Paul, Minn., a U.S. Navy warship, and the date Dec. 7 have in common? They are all oddly connected and intertwined by the 1941 Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor – the event that thrust the United States into World War II. History has a way of making strange twists and turns, coincidence is often the norm rather than the exception, and seemingly unrelated people, places, and dates find a bizarre way to connect and interlock through time. First the person: Rear Admiral William W. Outerbridge (1906-1986). Although called a Middleport native, Outerbridge was born in Victoria, Hong Kong. He was raised in Middleport and attended Middleport High School, later graduating from Marion Military Institute in Alabama, and in 1927 from the U.S. Naval Academy (accord- ing to a popular, free, web-based encyclopedia). The warship: the USS Ward (DD-139/APD-16). As one of 111 members of the Wickes-class of destroyers built by the Navy in 1917-1919, the USS Ward was commissioned in 1918 in the closing days of World War I after being constructed in just 17-and-a-half days at the Mare Island Navy Yard in California. The USS Ward was a little over a football field in length at 314 feet, 30 feet wide and displaced 1,247 tons with a full load. Its two steam turbines could propel it up to speeds of 40 miles per hour. Armament included four four-inch deck guns, a three-inch anti-aircraft gun, four torpedo tubes and depth charges. The date: December 7. For Americans, the date Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, will always live in infamy, as President Franklin Roosevelt declared. Three December 7ths play into this story.

Fast forward three years to Dec. 7, 1944. After Pearl Harbor, the USS Ward was converted into a troop transport and redesignated APD-16. It had participated in several amphibious assaults until, during efforts to retake the Philippine Islands, it was struck and heavily damaged by a Japanese kamikaze aircraft. When the resulting fires could not be put out, the crew was ordered to abandon ship, and a nearby destroyer was summoned to sink her. That destroyer was the USS O’Brien, commanded by Commander William W. Outerbridge, who proceeded to send his old ship, the ship that fired America’s first shots of the Pacific Theater three years earlier to the day, to the bottom of the ocean. According to some sources, Outerbridge didn’t dwell on the significance of that action, but just did his job. Amazingly, no crew members of the USS Ward were lost. The war went on until Sept. 2, 1945, and Outerbridge went on to bigger assignments. Many of the USS Ward’s sister ships saw service in World War II serving in several allied navies. A dozen of them were destroyed during the war, and the remainder were scrapped immediately afterwards. Although Outerbridge had earned the Navy Cross for his action on Dec. 7, 1941, some academics doubted that the USS Ward had actually sunk a Japanese midget submarine. However those doubts were put to rest in 2002 when searchers from the University of Hawaii found a Japanese mini-sub a few miles off the coast laying in 1,200 feet of water – complete with a shell hole through the base of the conning tower, and right where the USS Ward reported.

While many of the faces have changed over the past decade-plus, the stakes and the style of play between the AFC North rivals have not. Neither, Roethlisberger stressed, has the level of respect between two teams that believe they’ve found a way to straddle the line between hard- nosed play and whatever transpired in Cincinnati last Monday when the Steelers (10-2) won their seventh straight in a messy and flag-filled 23-20 victory over the Bengals. “I think there’s always been, and don’t want to say like a hatred, because you want to beat that guy but it’s just like it’s two kind of friends going at it in the playground,” Roethlisberger said. “You battle each other out. At the end of the day you shake hands and say hey, look forward to next year.” Or, the surging Ravens (7-5) hope, maybe later this season. Baltimore has emerged from an early funk to win four of five to get back into the playoff picture and needs a victory at Heinz Field on Sunday night to prevent the Steelers from capturing the division title for the third time in the past four years. It’s hardly far-fetched. The Ravens are 4-1 in their past five visits to Pittsburgh, the only loss coming on Antonio Brown’s “Immaculate Extension” last Christmas. “Look, this game means something,” Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco said. “They are pretty set up (for the playoffs), to be honest with you, with their record. But it still has a lot of implications for us and even for them at the top of the AFC at this point. It is a game that has meant a lot pretty much every time we played it since I can remember.” Ravens receiver Mike Wallace broke into the league with the Steelers, so he’s been on both sides of this rivalry. Asked how he felt about the Ravens when he was with Pittsburgh, Wallace replied, “Hate! though all understand filling the void left by Shazier will be difficult. “He’s a freaky athlete, you know that and what he does from a communication standpoint, from a productivity standpoint, it’s not going to be easy,” Moats said. “But I definitely feel like we have a great group of guys who always step up.” MAN IN THE MIDDLE: When the teams met in October — a surprisingly decisive 26-9 Pittsburgh victory — Ravens nose tackle Brandon Williams was out with a foot injury. Williams missed four weeks in all, and Baltimore went 1-3. Now that he’s back, the Ravens are better equipped to handle Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell, who ran for 144 yards and two TDs in the first meeting. “If you are going to run the Kentucky Derby, you want your biggest horse in the race,” Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “You don’t want him in the stable, especially going against one of the premier backs and the premier rushing offenses in the league.” BAD JUJU?: Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will sit out while serving a one-game suspension for what the NFL ruled was an illegal blindside hit to Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict. Smith-Schuster caught a touchdown against the Ravens in October and his blocking on the outside has helped Pittsburgh’s running game get going. Martavis Bryant, who has become more heavily involved in the offense since an unsuccessful trade demand earlier in the season, will get the majority of reps in place of Smith-Schuster. in 73 years, human eyes could again behold the USS Ward – on a video screen, probably made in From page 7B Japan. On this occasion, Adm. Dec. 7 (76 years after the Scott Swift, commander attack on Pearl Harbor), an expedition team led by of the U.S. Pacific Fleet Microsoft co-founder Paul stated, “The USS Ward found herself in the cruAllen announced that it cible of American history had found the wreckage – at the intersection of a of the USS Ward near Ponson Island in the Phil- peacetime Navy and war ippines. For the first time footing. She took decisive, effective and unflinching action despite the uncertain waters. Now 76 years on, her example informs our naval posture.” Today a historical marker in Middleport commemorates its son Rear Admiral William W. Outerbridge, and in St. Paul, the gun that fired the “first shot” is on display at the Minnesota State Capitol, honoring the “First Shot” Minnesotans of the USS Ward, all of whom are gone now. Time will tell if this is the end of the story, however history rarely works in that manner. Hate! It was hate. But it was respect, too.” And now that he’s with Baltimore? “I don’t hate them, it is all love,” said Wallace. “When I was there, I had a great time. It was a great organization to play for. I am where I am today because of the opportunity of playing there. It is never going to be any hate, but at the same time, I play for the Ravens. So, on Sunday night, I want to make plays for the Ravens.” PLAYING FOR RYAN: Pittsburgh will be without inside linebacker Ryan Shazier, who suffered a spinal injury in the first quarter against Cincinnati that left him in the hospital with the status of his burgeoning career unknown. The Steelers have several options when it comes to a fill-in, from Tyler Matakevich to Arthur Moats to Sean Spence, Infamy "TOYS COLLECTED AT THE PT.
