Pictured are (from left) Constance White, Commissioner Randy Smith, Commissioner Tim Ihle and Dale Colburn. POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners were presented with a certiﬁcate of recognition during Thursday’s regular meeting for their contributions to the recent Morgan’s Raid reenactment. Constance White and Dale Colburn, who were involved in the multiple day event, presented the certiﬁcate and thanked the commissioners for the monetary contribution made to the event. In addition to the presentation, Dan Will, representing the Chester Shade Historical Association spoke to the commissioner asking for their con- tinued monetary support. In February, the commissioners increased their quarterly contribution to the association, which operates and maintains the Chester Courthouse and Academy, from $1,000 to $2,500 quarterly. Will asked that the support continue at the increased rate for the upcoming year as well. Commissioner Tim Ihle stated that there is some concern as to the budget for the county with the way funding is currently to set up, but that it is likely to change before the approval of the state budget next summer. Regardless, any potential budget impact from that would not impact the county until later in 2017. Ihle said that the commissioners should be able to maintain the funding as it is currently said. An agreement will need to be formally approved at a later meeting. Will also told the commissioners that the association is looking at replacing the doors which must be custom made due to the building being on the national historic registry. Commissioner Randy Smith asked that when the association has a ﬁnal estimate on the cost that it be brought to the commissioners who will look into assisting with the cost. The commissioners and Will also discussed potential See RAID | 5 Cookies for a cause Sarah Hawley/Sentinel Cookies, cookies and more cookies.

Veterans will receive a faster decision on their Social Security disability claim, speeding them and their dependents through this new process. Both agencies will save time and money with an automatic request through the eHealth Exchange. “President Obama has said, ‘we must maintain the sacred covenant we share with our veterans by ensuring they have the care and beneﬁts they deserve,’ and I could not agree more,” said Carolyn W. Colvin, acting commissioner of Social Security. “We are committed to providing our veterans with the world class service they so richly deserve and improving the speed and efﬁciency of our disability program.” The new Health IT program was tested successfully at Social Security locations around the country. On Veteran’s Day, November 11, the eHealth Exchange went live, nationally, to all Social Security disability case processing sites. Social Security requests nearly 15 million medical records annually from healthcare providers and organizations to make medical decisions on about three million disability claims. Medical documentation is essential to make a disability determination. Historically, the agency obtained medical records through a manual process (mail, fax, secure mail). This new national initiative puts in place an automated process to obtain medical records electronically without human intervention. “VA is currently improving quality of life by enabling Veterans to share their health information with federal partners and integrating their data into a safe and secure health-related consumer application,” said Dr. David Shulkin, Under Secretary for Health of the Department of Veterans Affairs. “Currently, when eligible Veterans apply for Social Security Disability Insurance beneﬁts the average wait time for Social Security to receive paper records from VA can take months; this partnership allows Social Security and VA to share the Veteran’s health information electronically in minutes. The Social Security and VA partnership allows VA to continue to be a leader in interoperability efforts among federal partners while improving overall quality of life for our Veteran patients.” This partnership adds the VA to Social Security’s more than 50 other Health IT partners, including the Department of Defense, in approximately 7,000 facilities across the United States providing electronic health records. Social Security’s goal is to continue expanding the number of healthcare organizations and federal agencies providing electronic health records within a safe and secure environment. ABOUT… The new Health IT program was tested successfully at Social Security locations around the country. On Veteran’s Day, November 11, the eHealth Exchange went live, nationally, to all Social Security disability case processing sites. To learn more about Health IT, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ disabilityssi/hit. Social Security offers two other programs to expedite disability claims ﬁled by veterans. Wounded Warriors and veterans with a VA disability compensation rating of 100 percent permanent and total have their Social Security disability claims treated as high priority and receive expedited decisions.

That started a legacy of separating addiction treatment from the rest of medicine. The report makes room for AA and other recovery support services, noting they don’t require health insurance and are free, but it also says they “are not the same as treatment and have only recently been included as part of the health care system.” AA gets praise for adaptability. American Indians, for instance, have incorporated Native spirituality and allowed families to attend meetings. Research shows AA to be “an effective recovery resource,” the report concludes. HIGHER ALCOHOL TAXES Alcohol tax policies get a nod in a section on evidence-based prevention: “Higher alcohol taxes have also been shown to reduce alcohol consumption.” Other policies suggested by research include limiting the density of stores selling alcohol, banning Sunday sales and holding bars liable for serving minors. WHAT ABOUT MARIJUANA? The report suggests learning from alcohol and tobacco policies to ﬁnd out what works to minimize harm as marijuana becomes legal. Voters in eight states have approved adult use of recreational marijuana and more than two dozen states have medical marijuana laws. The report cites “a growing body of research” suggesting marijuana’s chemicals can help with “pain, nausea, epilepsy, obesity, wasting disease, addiction, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions.” *Open Enrollment begins November for the Affordable Care Act Plans (Obama Care). special day of thanksgiving on Sunday, Dec. 4.

We Remember, Rejoice, Worship at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7 at Hemlock Grove Christian Church. In what may be his last signiﬁcant act as President Barack Obama’s surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy released a report Thursday calling for a major cultural shift in the way Americans view drug and alcohol addiction. The report, “Facing Addiction in America,” details the toll addiction takes on the nation — 78 people die each day from an opioid overdose; 20 million have a substance use disorder — and explains how brain science offers hope for recovery. While its ﬁndings have been reported elsewhere, including by other federal agencies, the report seeks to inspire action and sway public opinion in the style of the 1964 surgeon general’s landmark report on smoking. With President-elect Donald Trump taking ofﬁce, it’s uncertain whether access to addiction treatment will improve or deteriorate. Trump and the Republican-led Congress are pledging to repeal and replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which made addiction treatment an essential health beneﬁt. In an interview Wednesday, Murthy said he hasn’t spoken to Trump but looks forward to working with his administration to save lives with expanded access to treatment. “We have made progress,” Murthy said. “How do we keep that progress going? A key part is making sure people have insurance coverage.” The Associated Press reviewed the report ahead of its ofﬁcial release.

Furthermore, because Mr. Trump. the Bible instructed me, I Where the water meets diligently prayed for him that the wheel in any case is, like God would work His will it or not, God is involved through Mr. Obama. in setting up the leaders of Mr. Trump has won the our country. Here in the most recent presidential United States, I believe in election. First of all, I was the privilege we have to vote. When it comes to the election of presidents, I support the Constitution’s Electoral College process. I believe we must be good citizens when it comes to taking part in the election process. But, according to Scripture, God makes the ultimate determination as to who will lead our nation. Take, for example, the words of Apostle Paul, “For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God.” One of the Psalmists wrote that God “is the governor among the nations.” It is in the Proverbs, “By me (that is, God) kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.” Jesus Christ told Pilate, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.” This being true concerning either Mr. Obama’s election or Mr. Trump’s election or anyone’s election for that matter, threatenings and violence are pointless. The main point to consider is the importance of having a Bible-based world-view as it involves current events. If we would be more willing to look at circumstances through the eyes of God and His written Word, peace would rule rather than chaos. Justice would prevail rather than evil. People would not be referring to evil as good and good as evil. While it is true that governmental leaders do not always promote the righteous will of God, it nonetheless prevails upon the people of the church to pray for our leaders, according to Scripture. It prevails upon the Church as a whole to forthrightly expouse the principles and expectations of God before our governmental leaders. There is absolutely nothing wrong and everything right that the values of God be reﬂected in how we react to whoever comes into authority. But, mob threatenings and violence are, oh, most certainly, out of the question because of the involvement of God in the process. Besides, according to news reports, those arrested in the Portland protests never bothered to vote. I consider that rather naïve. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

But if you remember, Jesus arose three days later and went to heaven to be with His heavenly father, God. Jesus died and rose again to save us from our sins, and now He’s preparing our places in heaven. Jesus was and is a king but a special kind of king. He is the King of Kings, and His kingdom is not here on earth. His kingdom is in heaven where we all will go when we die if we love Him. We are very lucky that He loved us so much that He was willing to go through all He did for our sakes. He rules over all the universe today and forever. This Sunday, we remember that as we celebrate “Christ, the King Sunday.” Let’s never forget that Jesus will always be the best kind of king possible: the King and Lord of our lives. We can crown Him every day by loving Him and our friends and trying to do what is right. Jesus, we crown you our King! Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Jesus, thank You for being the very best kind of king there could be. You love us more than we can ever realize and help us every day to be the best person we can be. Let us always make You our king for all eternity. In Your name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church.

And the difﬁculties are nothing compared to the of pain, “Father, forgive joy that awaits me in heaven.” them.” (Luke 23:34) Though (cf. 2 Corinthians 4:16; Mat- His outward circumstances thew 6:19-20; Romans 8:18) were horriﬁc, Jesus was able to commend Himself to God, Attitude is everything and had the ﬁrm and true when dealing with life, and hope that He would soon be God makes it possible to once more in paradise. (cf. Luke 23:43, 46) In Christ, it is possible to have an attitude such as to weather any storm, or face any trial, and do so with joy, hope, and love. Such a feat requires, it is true, a good reworking of the inward man, but that is what Christ truly wants to give to us. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind,” says the Bible (Romans 12:2). Let God renew that inward man on a daily basis (cf. 2 Corinthians 4:!6) Learn to think on those things good, lovely and noble (cf. Philippians 4:8) Unfortunately, many seek only a superﬁcial sort of religion that consist of little more than outward show. Of such was the religion of the Pharisees which Jesus condemned, likening them to white-washed tombs, that, while they looked rather clean and lovely on the outside, were ﬁlled with rot and decay. (cf. Matthew 23:27) Such a religion is worthless for overcoming the trials of lives, and sadly, in such a religion, there is no true hope. If the inward man is dead, the trials of life will too often prove superior to our faith and joy, we will ﬁnd ourselves feeling bleak and lost. If the inward man is dead, then we truly are lost, and eternity will be bleak. If you want the full blessings of Christ (cf. Ephesians 1:3) then you must allow Him to work on changing you inwardly, replacing the worldly with the spiritual, the sinful with the righteous, and the temporary with the eternal. Such change begins with faith and repentance, a forgiveness of sins in the waters of baptism, and a new life in Christ. But as we walk with Christ, through our obedience to His word, we allow Him to continue to work on us inwardly. Such a process is well worth it, producing as it does, joy eternal, peace that passes understanding, and an overﬂow of love within and without us. With such gifts, we can weather any trial, and come out as victors (cf. Romans 8:35-37) If you have found yourself overwhelmed by the trials of life and would like to learn more of the joy and peace Jesus offers, the church of Christ invites you to come study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

Members of the choir will be performing “A Ceremony of Carols” by Benjamin Britten. According to Dr. Sarin Williams, the piece was written in 1942 and geared towards a performance compromised of harp and voices. Benjamin Britten was born in 1913 and died in 1976. He lived in the U.S. at the time of World War II. “Britten was on a voyage from the United States back to Great Britain in World War II,” said Dr. Williams. “He was a paciﬁst but decided he would return home to suffer with his countrymen and head back to Britain. It was quite a dangerous trip in the middle of the war with Nazi U-boats, as you can imagine. He was a passenger on a cargo ship. It was apparently a fairly miserable trip. It took about a month to make that voyage. The boat stopped in Nova Scotia for supplies. While they were resupplying the ship, the passengers were able to get off. Britten found in this little marketplace, a book of 14th century English poetry, which he purchased. That became the inspiration for the ‘Ceremony of other contributions. On Dec. 15, 2015, the basketball court at the school was dedicated in his honor. It was the last basketball game Clark attended. This week, prior to the start of a new basketball season, Clark’s name was installed on the ﬂoor under his beloved White Falcon mascot with the words, “Gary Clark Court.” It serves as a forever reminder of Clark’s work and his athletic achievements. Wahama Principal Kenny Bond said he was happy to physically see the namesake placed on the court ﬂoor. “He was one of the ﬁnest athletes to come through Wahama High School,” said Bond. “But he was more than an athlete. He was a constant friend to Wahama.” Athletic director and head basketball coach Ron Bradley agreed. “When I think of people and past athletes that represent Wahama, Gary Clark is the ﬁrst person that comes to mind,” Bradley stated. “He was always a big Wahama supporter and was involved in many activities.” Clark, a 1970 graduate of Wahama, was a varsity letterman in football, basketball, and baseball, achieving honors in all three.

Britten blended much of the inspiration from the book he discovered in the marketplace into his work as he made the journey back to Great Britain during the war. Much of the text in the musical piece is composed of Middle English but is still understandable for individuals who would appreciate its performance. Dr. Williams praised the qualities of harpist Kelton and said she was a joy to work with. Kelton, a native of Kentucky, is visiting Ohio as part of an endowment which allows her to visit grade schools and universities in order to spread the love of music and better inform students as to the nature and operation of the harp. Kelton visited Oak Hill High School with performances and demonstrations between 9:20 a.m. and 2:20 p.m. Thursday. She will then head to Buffalo Elementary School in West Virginia Friday to hold demonstrations between 8:30 a.m. and 2:20 p.m. She will return to Gallia County to join Masterworks Chorale dress rehearsal from 1 to 4 p.m. at the URG Fine Arts Stage. Sunday, Kelton will perform at the Gallipolis First Presbyterian Church on State Street from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and then ﬁnally at the Masterworks Chorale concert at the URG Fine Arts Stage at 3 p.m. also approved “now and then” payments of $7,894.81 for the elections system and software for the Board of Elections and $10,920 to the Middleport Jail from the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce.

Just short of a year ago this week in his ﬁrst career start, the Lima Central Catholic graduate quarterbacked Michigan State to a 17-14 upset of Ohio State as an emergency replacement for the injured Connor Cook to derail the Buckeyes’ hopes of winning back-to-back national championships. Saturday, when Ohio State goes to Michigan State, O’Connor will run out of the tunnel onto the ﬁeld at Spartan Stadium for the ﬁnal time in his career on Senior Day. He has been the starting quarterback, lost the job and regained it this season after a redshirt year and three seasons of backing up Cook. There are many ways to measure his almost ﬁve-year college football journey. One way is where he will start his run out of the tunnel before the game. When he came out of the tunnel for the ﬁrst time against Boise State in 2012 he was at the back of the pack. Saturday, he will be one of the ﬁrst Spartans to hit the ﬁeld just behind coach Mark Dantonio. “It’s comforting to be at the front right next to the man in charge. That’s where I’ve always wanted to be,” O’Connor said on Wednesday, as he looked back at his college career. Michigan State’s season has been anything but comforting. After starting with wins over Furman and Notre Dame, the Spartans lost seven in a row before beating Rutgers 49-0 last week. “It’s been tough. It’s been mentally grueling for a lot of people,” O’Connor said. “It’s been kind of tough to ﬁgure out what the problem has been. We were on top of the world after beating Notre Dame. Then it was kind of a negative snowball effect. In previous seasons, it’s been kind of the opposite. “I think the biggest thing we can take from this season is we’ve won a lot of close games in previous seasons and we had guys who knew how to win. This year we have a lot of young guys and other guys who haven’t known how to win as much,” he said. O’Connor has thrown for 1,747 yards and 15 touchdowns with seven See BUCKEYES | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, November 18 Women’s College Basketball Bevo Francis Tournament at URG Ohio Valley University vs. Salem, W.Va.

Big Blacks host James Monroe in 2nd round of AA playoffs By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — James Monroe, the man, is easily identiﬁable as the ﬁfth President of the United States of America. James Monroe, the football team, isn’t quite as simple to stick a label on — especially given its history this fall of marching out any one of three quarterbacks on any given night. Simply put, another wild and wonderful test awaits the Point Pleasant football team this Saturday night when the third-seeded Big Blacks host sixth-seeded James Monroe in a Class AA second round playoff contest at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. PPHS (11-0) survived an opening round scare from North Marion (45-42) last week to advance to the program’s fourth consecutive second round postseason game, which serves as a new school record. The Big Blacks are also looking to secure the program’s fourth state semiﬁnal appearance while joining the likes of the 1979, 2011 and 2015 squads in accomplishing such a feat. Historically, Point Pleasant hasn’t fared well against the Mavericks (10-1) as JMHS owns a 2-0 all-time record against the Big Blacks. James Monroe won a 16-14 decision at home in its last meeting with PPHS back in Week 9 of the 2005 campaign. The Mavericks also claimed a 21-14 win at the old Sanders Field just one year earlier. JMHS — which lost the Class AA state title game to Blueﬁeld in 2008 — picked up its ﬁrst postseason victory in that eight-year span last week following a 38-28 decision over 11th-seeded Winﬁeld. The victory also allowed James Monroe to secure its ﬁrst 10-win season since 2007. Though it will be his ﬁrst contest against the Mavericks on the sidelines, 10th-year PPHS coach Dave Darst notes that he and his staff have spent a lot of time studying the Monroe County program. And, from what he’s observed, the Big Blacks had better be ready for a full four quarters of battle. “We are a little familiar with James Monroe from playing them in the past, but we have never beaten them in our two games against them. We do know that they know how to play football down there,” Darst said. “They have good coaches and like to do a lot of different things on the offensive side of the ball. In watching ﬁlm, the defense also does some things that really impresses me in how they line up and attack. We’re going up against a big, strong football team that uses its talents in a number of ways.” The Mavericks have outscored opponents by a 364117 overall margin this year, which averages out to 33.1 points scored and 10.6 points allowed per contest. JMHS has one shutout to its credit, a 55-0 win over Wyoming East, and is now 2-1 against playoff qualiﬁers. Besides Winﬁeld last week, the Mavs also defeated Independence (27-6) and dropped a 25-9 decision to Nicholas County. James Monroe has also played two common opponents with Point Pleasant this year, with both squads going unbeaten in those contests. The Mavericks defeated Princeton (19-7) and Blueﬁeld (34-27) by narrow margins in the regular season, while the Big Blacks earned a decisive 62-13 win over PHS and posted a 45-24 triumph over BHS this fall. JMHS — which has won six consecutive games headed into its second straight postseason — has a nice blend of rushing and passing in its arsenal, with the catch being who is throwing the ball, running the ball or receiving the ball. The Mavericks have eight different rushers on their roster who are averaging ﬁve yards per carry, with Grant Mohler (5-foot-9, 192 pounds) leading that charge with 800 rushing yards and 10 scores on 146 carries. Evan Beasley (5-10, 164) has thrown four of James Monroe’s six TD passes this year and has also caught one of the other two, plus serves as the team’s second-leading rusher with 537 yards and 14 scores on 80 attempts. Devin Johnson (5-8, 174) also had 518 rushing yards and eight scores on 116 tries, while Connor Moore (5-9, 157) has 215 yards on 22 carries — an average of just under 10 yards an attempt. With three of those four Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Dakota Booth (17) leavs a North Marion defender behind during a touchdown catch and run in the first quarter of a Class AA opening round playoff game at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. capable runners (Mohler, Beasley, Moore) all taking turns behind center, the Big Blacks will deﬁnitely have to turn up the attention spans a notch this Saturday evening. Then again, with half of the remaining ﬁeld battling for the ﬁnal four spots in the Class AA playoffs — focusing shouldn’t be a hard thing to sell this time a year. “I think that the lesson our kids learned last week was that you just don’t make the show, you better show up and be ready to play once you get there. We had some playoff success at the triple-A level the last few years, but you also have to give your everything to advance in the double-A playoffs too,” Darst said. “We ran into one of the hotter teams in the bracket last week and we managed to get out with a win. We are one of only eight teams left playing for a state title, so we cannot afford to take anything for granted from here on out.” The Big Blacks picked up their ﬁrst win over a playoff team last week against North Marion, but did so after allowing a season-worst 42 points. In comparison, PPHS didn’t allow but 27 points over the ﬁnal three games of the regular season. But, even in surrendering a season-high 542 yards of total offense, Point Pleasant still had its traditional moments — mainly by churning out 508 rushing yards and 594 yards of total offense while ﬁnishing the night plus-2 in turnover differential. The Big Blacks have outscored opponents by a 514-174 overall margin, which averages out to 46.7 points scored and 15.8 points allowed per contest. PPHS owns a 220-130 advantage in ﬁrst downs on the season and has outscored opponents by a 303-64 margin before halftime, including a decisive 142-16 cushion in the opening quarter of play. Point Pleasant, for the season, has outgained opponents by a 5,214-2,930 overall margin in offensive yardage, with a sizable 3,6711,519 cushion coming in the ground attack. PPHS is also plus-19 in turnover differential this year. Point Pleasant — which owns an 8-3 all-time mark in playoffs contests at OVB Field — will be facing another ﬁrst this weekend as the Big Blacks have never played a Saturday night postseason contest at OVB Field. Darst noted that the late Saturday start time may or may not be a well-conceived idea on behalf of the Mavericks, but the venerable mentor is hoping that a few distractions won’t get in the way of a community rallying around its kids. “There is some weather expected Saturday night and WVU will be playing on television at around the same time, so maybe they picked that time hoping to keep our crowd down,” Darst said. “This is a critical week when we need the crowd to really show up and get behind this program. Bundle up with every piece of clothing that you can get on and come out support the kids. “They’ve played their butts off all year long to get to this point and they could really use the help that a 12th man brings in trying to get a win.” Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2101. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel AP SPORTS BRIEFS Browning’s 32 points lift Marshall past Morehead State, 85-77 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Stevie Browning shot 12 for 18, including four 3-pointers, and ﬁnished with a career-high 32 points to lead Marshall past Morehead State 85-77 on Wednesday night. Jon Elmore made all four of his free throws in an 18-second span to give Marshall an 84-77 lead with less than 15 seconds to play. Elmore ﬁnished with 17 points and shot 10 for 11 from the freethrow line. Xavier Moon and Lamontray Harris missed back-to-back 3s with Morehead State trailing 80-77. Harris’ dunk with 3:44 before halftime gave the Eagles a 38-35 lead before Marshall scored nine straight points in just under two minutes. DeJuan Marrero’s jumper with 15:25 left gave Morehead State a 52-50 lead, marking its last lead of the game. Elmore hit a 3, spearheading a 17-4 run for the Thundering Herd. Ryan Taylor scored 13 points and had 10 rebounds for Marshall (2-0). Moon led the Eagles with 19 points. Morehead State (2-1) committed 27 fouls. Mitchell’s 31 leads Ohio State over Cleveland State COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell scored 31 points to lead four teammates in double ﬁgures and No. 7 Ohio State beat Cleveland State 96-78 on Wednesday night. The Buckeyes (2-1) won despite poor 3-point shooting from everyone except the junior AllAmerican guard. Early in the fourth quarter her teammates were 0 for 11 from beyond the arc while she was 7 for 13. Finally, Sierra Calhoun hit a 3-pointer as Ohio State ﬁnished 8 for 27 from 3-point range. Stephanie Mavunga, Tori McCoy, Shayla Cooper and Kiara Lewis each had 12 points for the Buckeyes. Ashanti Abshaw scored 25 points for the Vikings (1-1) and Khayla Livingston 14. The Buckeyes, who never trailed, led 51-34 at the half and extended the lead to 27 after through quarters after the Vikings went more than six minutes without a basket. Ohio State responded to a 92-80 home loss to No. 4 South Carolina on Monday by picking up the tempo and using its advantage inside. LT, Dawkins, Ward, Taylor make HOF semifinals CANTON, Ohio (AP) — First-year eligibles LaDainian Tomlinson, Hines Ward, Jason Taylor and Brian Dawkins are among 26 semiﬁnalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2017. Joining them as ﬁrst-time semiﬁnalists is tackleguard Chris Hinton, who retired in 1989 but has made this cut for the ﬁrst time. Buckeyes From page 6 interceptions this season. He has completed 61 percent of his passes. He was named the starting quarterback in the preseason over last year’s No. 3 quarterback Damion Terry and redshirt freshman Brian Lewerke. He started the ﬁrst ﬁve games before Lewerke started against Northwestern and Maryland. But after Lewerke suffered a broken leg, O’Connor has been the starter in the Spartans’ last three games. As the starting quarterback on the ﬁrst losing team in Dantonio’s 10 seasons at Michigan State, O’Connor has taken more than his share of heat from fans. But he has not been surrounded by the kind of talent Cook was when MSU was 36-5 over the last three seasons. Three of last year’s offensive linemen and No. 1 receiver Aaron Burbridge, all of whom are on NFL rosters, are among the talented players who left after last season. O’Connor said he was prepared for whatever the 2016 season threw at him. “I’ve said from the beginning I’ve been ready for and willing to accept any ups and downs as the starting quarterback at Michigan State,” he said. “You have to continue to stay positive and keep the guys around you positive. Obviously, there is a lot of weight on you being the quarterback here at Michigan State. But I’ve seen Connor go through it and been right there with him as he has gone through it.” Earlier this season, Dantonio praised the senior quarterback’s ability to deal with a tough situation for the team and for him personally. “He’s done an outstanding job. He’s an outstanding leader,” Dantonio said on a Big Ten coaches teleconference. “It’s very difﬁcult when you go through a situation like this, especially when you’re the quarterback. I would say it’s probably almost as difﬁcult as when you’re the head coach.” O’Connor has spent some time looking at ﬁlm of last year’s big win at Ohio State. But his interest is analytical, not nostalgic. “I’m getting asked about it, probably more by the media than anybody, about what to take from it. The biggest thing you can take from it, I guess, is the conﬁdence aspect of it. You can’t help but go back and watch ﬁlm from last year and see all the things we were able to do against them. That’s probably the biggest thing. You can’t forget that,” he said. “But I think the only time I’ve seen the TV copy of that game was one of those Big Ten Network Games in 60 Minutes. That’s the only time.” Reach Jim Naveau at 567242-0414 or on Twitter at @ Lima_Naveau. Friday, November 18, 2016 7 7th title would give Knaus his own spot in history CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chad Knaus will act as if this shot at a record-tying seventh championship is just another race, and that he has barely thought of what it means for his place in the record books with Jimmie Johnson. Knaus has already led Johnson to a record ﬁve straight titles, six overall, and is now aiming to be the ﬁrst crew chief in history to win seven NASCAR titles with the same driver. Hall of Fame crew chief Dale Inman won eight, but not with one driver. Knaus will downplay this until the bitter end — even if he hoists the championship trophy with Johnson on Sunday night at HomesteadMiami Speedway. “I guess I really don’t know what I want my legacy to be,” Knaus said Wednesday. “I guess just to be remembered as a real racer, I guess, more than anything. I was a grass-roots racer from the Midwest who got an opportunity … (and) was able to work my way up methodically. For people just to remember that I started out as a racer and ended as a racer is probably my biggest goal.” Johnson will face defending series champion Kyle Busch, Joey Logano and Carl Edwards on Sunday, with the highest-ﬁnishing driver winning the championship. If it’s Johnson, he will tie Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt as the only drivers with seven titles. But he’ll have it done it with a team that Knaus built from the bot- tom, and the No. 48 team would be the ﬁrst to win seven titles with the same driver, crew chief and sponsor. Knaus admits that distinction would make it “even more phenomenal.” “It’s been an honor to be able to work with Jimmie, Lowe’s and Hendrick Motorsports throughout this portion of my career,” he said. “Being able to represent this company and our associates the way that we have has been a lot of fun. To Jimmie personally, obviously he is by far one of my best friends, and to be able to have seen him grow and mature into the driver and the family man that he is has been awesome. It’s been a great ride.” a championship in this sport aren’t going to come every year,” he said. “When you get that chance, you want to make sure that you’ve turned over every stone and taken every turn that you can to try to make it happen. “You know, back-toback, or once every 10 years, or however often you can ﬁnd yourself in this opportunity with a shot to win is colossal.” OUTSIDERS VIEW Dave Rogers has worked for Joe Gibbs Racing for 18 years.

Edwards lost the 2011 championship to Stewart on a tie-breaker. They both feel like past experience has them prepared for Sunday. “We’ve both been in situations where we’ve come up short, and we know what it’s like to lose,” Rogers said. “Now we want to go down there and try to ﬁgure out how to win it. I know Carl was disappointed last year that he fell short. The 11 (Hamlin team) was disappointed last year that we fell short, but now we’re teamed up together, our ﬁrst year together, we’re going down there with the option to win it, and we’re just excited about it.” LESSONS LEARNED Joey Logano and Todd Gordon thought they were ready to win a championship when they raced for a title in 2014. Then one bad pit stop ended their chances. With that experience behind them, Gordon believes they have the mental toughness to win the title. “I think in 2014, that was when we went through this the ﬁrst time. Not knowing what to do or what to expect or how it was going to ﬂow out, the championship race, race weekend,” he said. “This time around … I think it’s matters as usual. “I feel a lot of calm from his feedback and what he’s saying and what he’s doing and the mannerisms. He’s all (about) just making this another race, and I think in a great position.” Pacers beat LeBron-less Cavs, 103-93 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Pacers are more than familiar with facing the Cleveland Cavaliers when LeBron James rests, so they didn’t get distracted by the four-time NBA MVP’s absence Wednesday night. The Pacers beat the LeBron-less Cavaliers 103-92 to improve to 3-1 at home in the past two years when James sits. “I found out when Coach (Nate McMillan) came in and said, ‘LeBron’s not playing,’” said Pacers point guard Jeff Teague, who had 20 points and eight assists. “I didn’t know, but we needed a win. We weren’t worried about who was playing or who was going to be on the ﬂoor, we were just going to go out and compete.” Jeff Teague added 20 points and eight assists, and Thaddeus Young had 16 points to help the Pacers improve to 6-1 at home and 6-6 overall. James sat out for the ﬁrst time this season. Averaging 23.4 points and 8.9 rebounds, he rested after playing Tuesday night in a home victory over Toronto. Guard J.R. Smith also missed the game because of a sprained right ankle. “It doesn’t matter about LeBron not playing,” Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. “We just lost the game.” Kevin Love led Cleveland with 27 points and 16 rebounds, and Kyrie Irving had 24 points and seven assists. The Cavaliers dropped to 9-2 after matching the best start in franchise history with the victory over Toronto on Tuesday night. “We had our chances,” Love said. “We cut the lead to four or ﬁve a couple times, and it just felt like we either had a bad possession, had a turnover, and then that lead went to eight or nine points, having to ﬁght kind of uphill to claw back and try to win the game, and it was too little too late.” Indiana led 80-68 lead after three quarters. The Cavaliers cut it to four points midway through the fourth, but the Pacers put it away with a 9-2 run. C.J. Miles hit a 3-pointer for the game’s largest lead — 97-84 with 5:10 remaining. “Of course it’s different,” Miles said about facing the Cavaliers without James. “We’re talking about him still and he didn’t even play tonight. He’s arguably the best player in our game. (But) we can’t disrespect anybody. They’ve got guys who can play basketball.” HICKORY NIGHT RETURNS: Friday’s Indiana home game against Phoenix coincides with the 30th anniversary of the classic 1986 basketball movie “Hoosiers” and will be the ﬁrst of six Hickory Nights, in which the Pacers will wear Hickory Huskers replica uniforms from the movie. Hoosiers screenwriter Angelo Pizzo, director David Anspaugh and some of the ﬁlm’s actors, including Maris Valainis (who played Jimmy Chitwood) will be in attendance. Scherzer, Porcello win Cy Young Awards NEW YORK (AP) — Max Scherzer celebrated aboard a boat off the British Virgin Islands, doused by college pals on a ﬂoating party. Rick Porcello enjoyed the moment at his parents’ home in New Jersey, surrounded by family, friends and a few bottles of wine. As for Justin Verlander, well, fuming supermodel Kate Upton brought the heat for her ﬁance. Rotation mates for ﬁve seasons in Detroit, the three right-handers topped the Cy Young Award talk Wednesday: Scherzer easily won the NL prize, Porcello edged out Verlander for the AL honor. “That’s just the weird thing about these,” said Scherzer, who ruled the majors with 284 strikeouts and topped the NL with 20 wins for Washington. “It’s the voting.” Porcello led baseball with 22 wins for Boston, and had a 3.15 ERA. Porcello won despite getting just eight of the 30 ﬁrst-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America — this was the ﬁrst time the AL Cy winner didn’t get the most ﬁrsts. Verlander went 16-9 with a 2.40 ERA while leading the AL in strikeouts and other categories. He got 14 ﬁrst-place votes, but didn’t draw as much support across the board — he was left off two ballots, too. Overall, Porcello won 137-132 in the second-closest vote since 1970 (Verlander lost by four points to David Price in 2012). Voters list their ﬁve picks in order. A ﬁrst-place vote is worth seven points, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one for ﬁfth. Verlander needed to pick up ﬁve more points to match Porcello. Upton ﬁred off three tweets, one of them rather saucy, telling Porcello “you didn’t win.” Asked whether he was bothered by the brouhaha, Porcello simply said, “No, I honestly don’t care.” “I’m not the one who made the decision,” he said on a conference call. Porcello got a $100,000 bonus for winning the Cy. Verlander, who won the 2011 award, would’ve gotten $500,000 for this win. Porcello bounced back from going 9-15 in his ﬁrst season with the Red Sox, ﬁnishing 22-4 for the AL East champs. He shared this last win of 2016 with those who “never wavered” in their support, admitting, “It was hard not to start bawling and crying.” Cleveland’s Corey Kluber was third and got three ﬁrst-place votes. Baltimore reliever Zach Britton, who went 47 for 47 on save chances with a 0.54 ERA, had ﬁve ﬁrst-place votes and was fourth. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Friday, November 18, 2016 Miscellaneous LEGALS Help Wanted General PROBATE COURT OF MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO L.
