We came to talk to the Environmental Health Division, which at the time consisted of Registered Sanitarians Keith Little, Zane Beegle and Jon Jacobs. Before this visit, I was like many of you might be – unfamiliar with the MCHD and the services offered. Little did I know then that I would establish a career at the MCHD and ultimately learn about and work to address the 10 Essential Public Health Services. Approximately four years later, I was enrolled at Ohio University in the Bachelor of Science (Communication- Health and Human Services) Program. In 1996, I contacted then MCHD Nursing Director Norma Torres to offer my services during summer break in a volunteer capacity to gain experience. Talk about a divine connection! Norma was reluctant to take another college student under her wing because of a recent bad experience. Fortunately, she took a chance on me and, 23 years later, I thank God, Norma, former Administrator Jon Jacobs and the Board of Health to still be serving the residents of Meigs County. My volunteer work centered mainly around scheduling ladies for The Ohio State University (OSU) and Riverside mobile mammography units. Meanwhile, I was given opportunities to learn about the MCHD responsibilities of and began assistthat position. ing with clerical Throughout the and reception years, I worked duties during this under the auspices time.

Over the years, I am proud to report that my work has been recognized. For example, in 2001, OU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine Community Service Programs (CSP) recognized me with a CSP award for outstanding service and collaboration with its Healthy Adult Project. In 2002, The Ohio Breast and Cervical Cancer Coalition honored me for my work in promoting early detection and prevention of these diseases with its fourth annual Janet Voi- Paving begins on U.S. 35 expansion novich Service Award. I was selected as a member of the Appalachia Community Cancer Network Appalachia Ohio Community Advisory Board, which addressed cancer disparities and conducted community-based participatory research, and was active with the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Relay for Life Planning Committee and Volunteer Leadership Council (VLC) for many years. Even though the ACS no longer holds Relay for Life or VLC meetings in Meigs County, I get to continue to support cancer survivors and educate the public about the importance of early detection via efforts of the Meigs County Cancer Initiative, Inc. In summary, it is a blessing and an honor to be able to serve the residents of my home County and to lead the great team of employees working for you at the MCHD. My job is a ministry, which I hope God continues well into the future. At the MCHD, we continue to support workforce development and try to accommodate those seeking internships, preceptorships or other learning opportunities. We also address the social determinants of health and try to be a safety net for those in need.

This one-day observance lets us focus on an awesome debt of gratitude that deserves to be acknowledged every day of every year. More than just saying how grateful we are to the millions of military men and women who have served with exceptional skill, leadership and vitality, we should all choose to celebrate their continued service to others. While we all know the accomplishments our military has achieved overseas and in stateside posts far from home, we may not be as in tune to the legacies being created in our own communities. We all remember great leaders who have served in the military, Chrisanne including 29 of 45 U.S. presidents; Gordon, MD leaders in industry such as Robert Guest A. McDonald, former CEO of Proctcolumnist er & Gamble Company and former Secretary of the Veterans Administration; Gen. Colin S. Powell, former Secretary of State; and Robin Quivers, radio talk-show host. The list is formidable, demonstrating that traditional military values of honor, commitment, and sense of duty play a defining role in shaping our nation’s leaders of the past, present and future. These same values help make millions of our veterans, in every walk of life, an ongoing value to their communities. One excellent example is Corey O’Brien, who returned from service in the Global War on Terror with symptoms of two devastating, but often “hidden” injuries suffered from a concussive blast: traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic shock disorder (PTSD). Challenges created by these injuries threatened his personal life and career, leading Corey to medical treatment as well as transcendental meditation, which taught him new ways to treat and heal himself. Today, he’s an award-winning schoolteacher in Ohio and well-known national advocate for the power of transcendental meditation. There are so many others like him, veterans who are leaving a legacy of hope and healing behind them. The experiences of veterans like Corey O’Brien, who are successfully dealing with traumatic brain injuries, are inspirational because the other side of the coin can be so devastating. Left undiagnosed and untreated, veterans of all wars who sustained brain injuries are vulnerable to the too-common consequences of TBI, including substance abuse, unemployment, homelessness and much too often, suicide. We currently have more than 750,000 veterans struggling with their recent wounds of service, as well as an estimated 200,000 veterans of the Vietnam War and we need them to remember all those who served our nation every day of the year. Their legacies of hope and healing are why I founded the Resurrecting Lives Foundation [resurrectinglives.org], a non-profit organization dedicated to seeing that veterans with TBI receive expert medical care, rehabilitation and community support services they need for a successful return to civilian life. Many times, just listening to the veterans’ stories is enough to offer advice to a successful path to education or employment that will be the path to greatness, as it was to Corey O’Brien. As we pause on Veterans Day 2019 to thank those who have done so much to defend our freedoms, we must give a special salute to those who continue the mission at home by creating a legacy of hope and healing for the next generation. Dr. Chrisanne Gordon, author of “Turn the Lights On!” is an Ohio physician who has personally struggled to recover from a brain injury, an experience that inspired her to create the Resurrecting Lives Foundation to help military veterans recover from TBI. THEIR VIEW Military marches on its stomach At times the veterans I interview mention chow, grub, mess and the cooks who prepared their food. There is no definitive answer on who first expressed some variation of “The military marches on its stomach”: it’s something we’ve always heard. Marine veteran Paul Swigart, 77, of Troy, Ohio was a baker during the Vietnam Era. He began as an infantryman and was sent to Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. He was on a list to go to Vietnam, but there was a paper snafu and he became a baker because, according to him, “My name was on some list.” How was he trained? In his mother’s kitchen? No. On-the-job? No. He just did it and found it easier than being an infantryman. I first saw a sampling of military chow when Korean War Army veteran Fred Shively (Dec. 1929-Sept. 2017) brought a display to Edison State Community College for a special program. That array of questionable consumables is now on display at the Miami Valley Veterans Museum in Troy. Marine veteran Jim Gover, 75, of Piqua, Ohio was in combat in Vietnam when the bullet that was meant for him found a home in two cans of Beanee Weenees he was packing, a prized commodity in the military often swapped for cigarettes. mess tents that This November the men just went 1966 incident hapto the PX and pened as his unit bought hot dogs. left Camp CarThe following day, roll in the DMZ, leftovers.

We had Vietnamese cooks and bakers. We all ate very well.” Another of his 12 tasks, however, was to visit the indigenous Vietnamese, the Montagnards, who had blow guns, cross bows, and knives. After securing these primitive weapons, he took them to Pleiku to be decorated and used as presents to top-ranking officials such as General Westmoreland. To seal the deal with the Montagnards, however, DeSantis was required to partake of their rice wine, which “tasted like kerosene.” DeSantis says, “After every trip, I was in sick bay for two days.” As Veterans Day approaches, we thank these men and thousands of other American men and women for their service to our country. Flawed as we are, we have so many reasons for great pride. Vivian B. Blevins. Ph.D., is a professor at Edison State Community College and also works with veterans.

Problem raid that committed the is, the tribes actually livKerr’s Creek Massacre Special to OVP ing here never agreed, and fought back against this deal. This got worse, and sparked Lord Dunmore’s War, when Virginians finally retaliated and ended up attacking the wrong tribe, twice. For the sake of space, I’ll make both events very simple. Based on rumors that the Shawnee were preparing for war, colonists in Wheeling decided to strike first and murdered 11 Mingoes in the Yellow Creek Massacre. Two were close relatives of Mingo Chief Logan, and he retaliated by attacking frontier settlements. Then, to punish Logan (a Mingo), Colonel Angus MacDonald led an army against the Shawnee towns of Wapatomica and burned the towns to the ground. I’m sure you can see what caused the problem. So, by September of 1774, the Virginians had royally screwed up. Though I suppose they did manage to do one thing: unite every tribe of the Ohio Country against them. The Shawnee, Mingo, Delaware, Ottawa, and Wyandot were ready for full-scale war, and they looked for a leader. They looked to Cornstalk. Cornstalk, like Washington, was a born leader and master strategist. When his spies informed him that Dunmore had split his army, leading one down the Ohio while Lewis came up the Kanawha, he knew that he could never let them meet. One had to be destroyed, and he knew Lewis would be vulnerable at Point Pleasant. We often forget, Cornstalk came within a hair of actually destroying Lewis’ army. In the opening shots of the battle, Colonel Lewis and Colonel Fleming both fell mortally wounded, the battle lines collapsed, and the Virginians were pushed back to within yards of the encampment at the Point. A few more yards and the Virginians would have had nowhere to go. It would have been absolute destruction. Unfortunately for Cornstalk, the Virginians rallied at the last moment and held just long enough to be reinforced by Major John Fields and another 400 men. The battle ended in a stalemate, and Cornstalk knew more reinforcements under Colonel Christian would arrive in the night. The only option left open was to retreat and fortify their towns at Chillicothe. Again, unfortunately for Cornstalk, Dunmore beat them there. He was now stuck between two Virginian armies, with double the men he had, better weapons, and more supplies. Stuck between complete destruction and, well, complete destruction, he saw one option to save the lives of his people. In the Treaty of Camp Charlotte, he pledged total and complete surrender and agreed to never again wage war against the Virginians. Fast forward three years. Cornstalk is desperately trying to keep the peace, and stay out of the Revolution. While at Fort Randolph on a mis- sion of peace, he and two other chiefs are detained and help the Virginians map the Ohio Country. Then, another Yellow Creek. Two Virginians are killed while out hunting, and the militiamen reacted by murdering the only other Native Americans nearby, despite their innocence. The murderers were never brought to justice, and Cornstalk’s murder led to the Ohio tribes allying with the British, costing untold thousands of casualties that could have been prevented. Cornstalk was quietly buried outside Fort Randolph. This grave was discovered during road work in the 1840s and moved to the courthouse grounds, then moved again to Tu-Endie-Wei in 1954 during construction of the new courthouse.

There is no need to spend time identifying these properties if nothing can be done about them. We need a permanent solution so our communities can move forward.“ The County Land Bank would not be exclusive to villages, townships would also be included. Their functions can be tailored to the needs of individual counties, and their municipalities and townships. An important component of the guidelines for acquisition of vacant property are that the Bank can only acquire it if a municipality or township does not want the property. Opponents also see opportunity for abuse if the Land Banks are not managed properly. A frequent misconception is that a Land Bank is a government office when in fact it is not. Created by government but operated by a private, non-profit corporation, rules and oversight for its operation have been outlined in state legislation. According to information gathered from the state auditor and the County Commissioners Association, Land Banks are private, non-profit corporations, not a county agency. The primary function of a land bank is as a facilitator for “the return of vacant, abandoned, and tax foreclosed property to productive tax paying economic uses or to beneficial public uses.” Another question is who would pay start up costs. According to Commissioner Randy Smith, the state has several grants that would fund the initial investment, and moving forward the Bank would be self funding, collecting money from the sale of acquired properties. “We have property tied up in back taxes, we need to make better use of land in the county, and we are looking for a vessel to channel money for demolition and property improvement. This is just one option we are exploring.” The commissioners then called a short recess, after which they were to reconvene to discuss next year’s budget with county officials that included Steve Jenkins, Soil and Water District program administrator, Auditor Mary Byer-Hill, Treasurer Peggy Yost, Recorder Kay Hill, Clerk of Courts Sammi Mugrage, Prosecutor James Stanley, and Sheriff Keith Wood. Earlier that morning the Meigs County SubCommittee meeting round 34 for the State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP) and the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP) was held at the court house. SCIP is a grant/loan program for roads, bridges, water supply, wastewater treatment, storm water collection, and solid waste disposal. LTIP is a grant program for roads and bridges only. The programs run concurrently, and assist local communities in financing public infrastructure improvements; the Ohio Public Works Commission administers them. Projects are selected for funding using a meritbased process, with higher point values having a higher chance of being funded by the state. Commissioners are optimistic that improvement requests for the villages of Pomeroy, Middleport, and Syracuse, and cooperative paving projects for the county will be approved by the state.

The Columbus Dispatch reports U.S. District Court Judge Michael Watson ruled this week in a 2018 lawsuit filed against Ohio’s secretary of state by two Montgomery County inmates. The lawsuit argues state law violates the U.S. Constitution by treating pre-trial inmates differently than other voters. Ohio law grants voters confined in hospitals by unforeseen medical emergencies until 3 p.m. Election Day to apply for an absentee ballot, while inmates have a deadline of noon the Saturday before an election. The judge granted the lawsuit class-action status and ordered Secretary of State Frank LaRose not to impose different absentee ballot deadlines on inmates.

OHIO BRIEFS 3 held after officer killed DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A magistrate has ordered that three men charged in the death of an Ohio police detective remain in federal detention without bond, pending a Nov. 19 hearing. Authorities say 55-year-old Jorge Del Rio was shot in the face Monday while working with a federal drug taskforce serving a search warrant in Dayton. He died Thursday. On Friday, federal authorities added charges that could bring death sentences if the defendants are convicted. Thirty-nine-year-old Nathan Goddard is charged with intentionally killing an officer aiding a federal criminal investigation. Forty-year-old Lionel Combs III and 39-year-old Cahke Cortner were charged with causing death with a firearm during a drug trafficking or violent crime. Goddard and Combs will get court-appointed attorneys. Cortner’s lawyer, Dennis Lieberman, says Cortner had a gun legally and didn’t fire it. Search done in killing PIKETON, Ohio (AP) — Ohio authorities have executed a new search warrant as part of an investigation into the 2016 killings of eight family members. The warrant targets the Flying W farm in southern Ohio owned by Fredericka Wagner, whose son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons are accused of killing eight members of the Rhoden family in Pike County. All four have pleaded not guilty. Steve Irwin, an Ohio Attorney General spokesman, confirmed the search warrant Friday but declined to provide details. Multiple media reports say investigators searched the farm through the week. Earlier this year, prosecutors dropped charges against Wagner after she was accused of lying to a grand jury during an investigation into the fatal shootings of eight people. Her attorney has long maintained her innocence and denied any involvement. New suit against doc COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The latest federal lawsuit against Ohio State over two decades of alleged sexual abuse by a now-deceased team doctor means nearly 300 men are listed plaintiffs in the matter. Forty-three plaintiffs filed a new case Thursday, including a wrestler alleging Richard Strauss raped him and two men alleging they were sexually abused in exams while visiting campus at age 14 or 15. One says Strauss threatened him with a scalpel. Two men say Strauss touched them inappropriately when they were wrestling referees in the 1990s. Another says he saw Strauss fondle a player from an opposing team who came in with a toe infection. Ohio State has apologized for not stopping Strauss despite receiving complaints, but argues such legal claims are time-barred by law. The related lawsuits are in mediation. Companies: Dismiss suit COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Companies involved in work at a former uranium enrichment plant in Ohio say a federal court should dismiss a lawsuit alleging nearby residents were unknowingly exposed to radioactive contaminants that spread to other properties. Several residents sued the companies over contamination from the site of the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon and construction of a waste-disposal facility there. They seek damages and medical monitoring, and class-action status to represent nearby residents and students at a school where radioactive material was found. In a filing this week, defendants argued the case should be dismissed because the claims weren’t brought under a federal law governing liabilityrelated matters for nuclear facilities. Those defendants include cleanup contractors and the company that ran a uranium enrichment project at the site in recent years.

E-cigarettes and other vaping devices heat a liquid into an inhalable vapor. For years, most products contained nicotine, but THC vaping has been growing more common. Symptoms of the vaping illness include trouble breathing, chest pain, fatigue and vomiting. Imaging tests show lung injuries and doctors can’t find infections or other causes. About two months ago, New York drew attention to vitamin E acetate when the state’s public health lab discovered it in samples of vaping products from sick patients. In some instances, it made up more than half of the liquid in the cartridges. The chemical has shown up in tests in other labs, too, including a U.S. Food and Drug Administration lab in Cincinnati that found vitamin E acetate in half of the more than 400 THC samples. For the latest test, the CDC used fluid extracted from the lungs of 29 patients in 10 states, including two who died. Lab workers looked for a range of substances that had been found in various vaping devices, including nicotine, THC and other marijuana components, plant oils, mineral oil and cutting agents used on the black market. It was an exhaustive list of more than 1,000, said Pirkle, who oversees agency’s chemical analysis labs. The one substance that came up in all 29 was vitamin E acetate. “To me what’s important here is both what they found, and what they didn’t find” said Scott Becker, head of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. “This was the only thing they found.” Pirkle said animal testing is now a priority and might produce results within a year. Speech From page 1A White described that there are many types of people in the world in terms of their actions. “I’ve always been amazed at how many different type of people there are. Some people are like wheelbarrows — you’ve got to push them or they don’t go anywhere. Others are like kites — you’ve got to hold their string or they’ll fly away. Some are like neon lights — they flash on and off. Some are like canoes — they need to be paddled. Some are like butterflies — they’re beautiful and they just float from here to here and to here. Others are like footballs — you drop them and you never know which way they’re going to bounce. And then there are those like basketballs — they bounce all over the place. Then of course there are those like the stock market — they go up and the next day they’re down. Then Courtesy photo Speaker Greg White demonstrates his basketball spinning skills, including using the corner of a book. there are those that are like good watches—pure gold, open faced, quietly busy and full of good works. Which are you?” White asked. In his presentation, White listed the five “C’s” of competitive greatness — communication, costume, character, challenge, and choices. Focusing on the five “C’s” include listening, dressing for success, showing respect to everyone, setting goals and making the choices to work toward them. “Be at your best when your best is needed,” White said. In conclusion, White told the audience there are many ways to find temporary happiness, but for a lifetime of happiness, you have to help people. “It’s never a perfect day unless you help someone who will never have the opportunity to pay you back,” White said.

The Point Pleasant football team had its run of consecutive postseason appearances end at 11, but the Big Blacks did avoid its first losing season since 2007 on Friday night with a resounding 43-14 victory over host James Monroe in a Week 11 non-conference matchup in Monroe County. The Big Blacks (4-4) notched their third straight win while also playing the spoiler role to perfection, with the guests all but eliminating the Mavericks (6-4) from postseason contention in the Class AA bracket. PPHS never trailed after building a 7-0 first quarter advantage on a 1-yard Evan Roach touchdown run with 6:27 left. Elicia Wood also converted the first of her five point-after kicks to extend the lead to seven. The Red and Black extended their lead to 14 following a 9-yard Hunter Bush run nine seconds into the second frame, but JMHS quickly responded with a pair of score of its own. Peyton Whitt hauled in a 24-yard pass from Monroe Mohler at the 9:02 mark for a 14-6 contest, then Mohler scampered 42 yards to paydirt at the 7:57 mark for a 14-12 deficit. Mohler found Cameron Thomas with a successful 2-point conversion pass that tied the game at 14. The Big Blacks, however, came up with a defensive safety with 1:52 left in the half for a permanent lead of 16-12 — and that deuce was the start of 29 unanswered points put up by Point Pleasant. Bush added a 7-yard touchdown run with 27 seconds left in the half, allowing the guests to take a 23-14 edge into the break. Bush added his third and final rushing score at the 2:23 mark of the third with a 1-yard run, extending the lead out to 30-14. Less than a minute later, Logan Southall followed with a 13-yard run at the 1:15 mark that resulted in a 37-14 lead headed into the finale. Roach completed the scoring with a 33-yard run to paydirt with 9:14 left in regulation. The 2-point conversion pass failed, which also wrapped up the 29-point outcome. PPHS claimed a 26-15 advantage in first downs and finished the game plus-1 in turnover differential. Point was penalized 18 times for 180 yards, while the hosts were flagged six times for 80 yards. The Big Blacks churned out a whopping 568-240 advantage in total yards of offense, which included a sizable 466-129 cushion in rushing yards. The guests also had five running backs produce at least 30 yards on the ground — including a pair in triple digits. Southall led Point Pleasant with 180 yards on 23 carries, followed by Roach with 138 yards on 14 attempts. Bush was next with 78 yards on seven totes and also completed 6-of-11 passes for 96 yards. Roach also completed his lone pass for six yards. Brady Adkins led the PPHS wideouts with six catches for 93 yards. Nick Parsons also hauled in one pass for nine yards.

Rebels roll past Hannan, 42-6 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com ASHTON, W.Va. — They started the year without helmets. When they took them off in defeat Friday night, the Wildcats still managed to hold their heads high. A season that almost wasn’t ended Friday night as the Hannan football team came up short in its quest for a Senior Night upset of visiting Tolsia during a 42-6 decision in a Week 11 matchup at the Craigo Athletic Complex in Mason County. The Wildcats (1-9) were simply overmatched against the Class A playoff-bound Rebels (7-3) as the hosts mustered only four first downs and 96 yards of offense while ending the year on a 5-game losing skid. Tolsia — which churned out 420 yards of total offense — built a 14-0 first quarter lead and was ahead 36-0 with a shade over four minutes remaining in the first half. The Blue and White, however, made their lone big play of the night pay off late in the second quarter. After taking over possession with 1:02 left following a defensive stand, HHS needed only one play to cover 55 yards while putting its only points on the scoreboard. Logan Barker hit Brady Edmunds on a sideline pass, then Edmunds remained upright following a hit — then spun back towards the middle of the field before outracing the THS defense to Hannan defender Dylan Starkey (2) wraps up a Tolsia ball carrier during the second half of Friday night’s Week 11 football contest in Ashton, W.Va. the end zone. Edmunds’ 55-yard catch-and-run came with 43.7 seconds left before halftime, cutting the Hannan deficit down to 36-6 at the intermission. It was also the only other first down for the Wildcats in the first half, with the very first movement of the chains coming on Hannan’s second play from scrimmage in the opening quarter. HHS committed four turnovers in the contest and finished the night minus-3 in turnover differential, with Devrick Burris coming away with the lone Hannan takeaway during a second quarter fumble recovery. The Rebels — who tacked on a third quarter score that led to a running fourth quarter clock — produced 345 rushing yards on 44 attempts, an average of 7.8 yards per carry. The guests also had 20 more passing yards and claimed a sizable 17-4 advantage in first downs. John Wilson started the scoring with a 50-yard run to paydirt with 5:50 left in the first period, making it a 6-0 contest. Gavin Meadows followed with an 8-yard run at the 2:24 mark, and a Jesse Muncy 2-point conversion run gave the guests a 14-point edge after 12 minutes. Meadows then covered 58 yards on the next touchdown run, which came 11 seconds into the second quarter. Tanner Copley hauled in a 2-point conversion pass from Muncy for a 22-0 lead. Muncy then found Zachary Ball on a 38-yard bomb down the left sideline, and Muncy added a 2-point conversion run for a 30-point edge with 7:38 left until halftime. The Rebels took their first 36-point advantage of the contest with 4:03 left in the half as Muncy rumbled in from a yard out. Muncy also scored on an 11-yard scamper with 9:06 remaining in the third canto. William Newsome, David Dingess and John Wilson respectively recovered a fumble apiece for THS in each of the first three quarters. Josh Muncy also picked off a pass late in the fourth stanza. The Rebels were penalized 12 times for 90 yards, while the hosts drew flags only seven times for 52 yards. The Wildcats rushed the ball 31 times for only 41 yards in the setback. Jordan Fitzwater led the HHS rushing attack with 23 yards on 11 carries, followed by Barker with 15 yards on 10 attempts. Chris Exline also had 11 totes for three yards. Barker completed only 1-of-6 passes for 55 yards, which included one touchdown and one interception. Edmunds hauled in the lone Hannan pass for 55 yards and a score.

The Wahama football team committed five turnovers and trailed 22-0 midway through the second quarter on Friday night before dropping its season finale to host Buffalo by a 36-14 count in a Week 11 non-conference matchup in Putnam County. The White Falcons (3-7) ultimately traded scores with the Bison (6-4) over the final 2-plus quarters of action, but the guests were never able to overcome three first half turnovers that resulted in 14 BHS points en route to that early 22-point deficit. The Red and White, however, did manage to gain some momentum entering halftime as Abram Pauley hauled in a 3-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Davenport. Pauley also converted a 2-point run that cut the intermission deficit down to 22-8. WHS was never closer as Eli Brock scored his second rushing touchdown of the game with a 4-yard scamper early in the third. Jackson England converted the 2-point run for a 30-8 edge early in the third. Wahama answered with a 28-yard touchdown pass from Davenport to Hunter Board, trimming the lead down to 16 points. David Whittington hauled in a 48-yard pass from England late in the third to complete the 22-point outcome. Brock started the scoring with an 8-yard TD run in the first period, then Whittington hauled in a 25-yard pass from England for a quick 14-0 cushion. Dalton Jones also hauled in an 8-yard pass from England that pushed the second quarter lead out to 22 points. The Blue and Gold claimed a 17-8 advantage in first downs and outgained Wahama by a 428-200 overall margin in total yards of offense. The contest also featured a combined 27 penalties for 205 yards, with BHS drawing 18 flags for 140 yards alone. The White Falcons have now dropped two straight decisions against Buffalo, but still lead the all-time series by a 37-30-1 overall count. Wahama also ends the season having lost its final two contests. Trevor Hunt led the Wahama rushing attack with 69 yards on 14 carries, followed by Davenport with 22 yards on five attempts. Davenport was also 6-of-18 passing for 101 yards, including two scores and a pair of interceptions. Board led the guests with two catches for 76 yards and Abram Pauley added two grabs for seven yards. Brock paced the BHS ground attack with 165 yards on 25 carries. England completed 12-of-21 passes for 186 yards and three scores. Whittington hauled in four passes for 118 yards. It was the final football game for seniors Trevor Hunt, Hunter Board, Abram Pauley, Brayden Davenport, Kody Hollis, Nick Brewer, Wesley Peters and Gabe Roush in the Red and White. Wahama completed its final season in TVC Hocking play with a 3-5 league mark, which was good enough for sixth place overall. The White Falcons also tripled their win total from a season ago.

But despite their success in the season’s first half, the Bills aren’t being viewed as legitimate mostly because of their schedule. Buffalo’s six wins have come against opponents with a combined 9-44 record. “Until we can consistently win in this league, it’s always going to be doubters,” said linebacker Lorenzo Alexander. “Buffalo has a perception nationally of still being that same team that didn’t make the playoffs for 17 years. So until we actually do something, go to the playoffs consecutively, win a playoff game being able to make it to a championship and actually win a Super Bowl, people are always going to have that perspective. It’s up to us to change that.” Gore vs Singletary Though rookie running back Devin Singletary’s production and playing time are up, the Bills insist 15-year veteran Frank Gore remains a key part of their offensive attack. “Every week’s different, game-plan wise,” said coach Sean McDermott. “Every week’s different in terms of the flow of the game. We’ve got a lot of confidence in Frank Gore. Frank’s a big part of what we’re doing here and his personality on our football team is important. That toughness.” Singletary had a season-high 95 yards rushing, including a touchdown, and 45 receiving last week in a win over Washington. Gore had just 15 yards rushing on 11 carries. Dead zone The Browns scored just one touchdown on five trips inside Denver’s 20-yard line last week, continuing a season-long inability to finish drives. Cleveland ranks 25th in the league in red-zone offense (46.2 percent). Buffalo is first (71.4). One solution could be getting the ball more to star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has just one TD catch and has only been targeted seven times this season in the red zone. “Until we do better in the red zone, all of us, it’s going to be tough to feel like I need to get the ball when we get down there,” Beckham said. “But I can smell blood when I get down there. I’m close to the end zone, I want it. It’s just a matter of finding the right play in the right time.” Hunt’s countdown over; Browns back eager to play BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Kareem Hunt learned humility during his time away from football for two violent, off-field altercations, the lengthy layoff forcing him to grow up. It was a tough lesson. A needed one. While serving his eightgame NFL suspension for losing control of his emotions and being captured on videotape shoving and kicking a woman during an argument in a hotel hallway while he played for Kansas City, the Browns running back gained a deeper appreciation for all he’s been given — and how quickly it can vanish. His long wait is over. He’s been counting down since his career stopped suddenly. “Like 342 days,” he said. Hunt will return to the field this week for the first time since the league punished him for his disturbing behavior. On Sunday, Hunt, the former league rushing champion, will make his debut for Cleveland — his hometown — as the Browns (2-6) host the Buffalo Bills (6-2). “I’m just excited. A lot of mixed emotions, high and low,” he said, speaking to reporters for the first time since Aug. 15. “It’s going to be a very fun, emotional game, and I’m definitely going to be excited to get out there and do whatever I can to play the role and help this team win.” This is Hunt’s second chance. He can’t count on a third. He knows every move on and off the field is being watched. “I’m under a microscope,” he said following practice Thursday, which marked 342 days since the Chiefs released him. “I’m not trying to put anything in jeopardy. I had a lot of time to think about, if I get in this situ- ation, how I’m going to handle this? If I get in this situation, how am I going to handle that? This happened, how am I going to handle that? “You get a lot of time to really reflect and think about those things. I’m good with it.” Hunt has been practicing with the Browns for two weeks, giving the 24-year-old time to get into better shape and relearn Cleveland’s playbook. There was a time not long ago when Hunt wondered if he’d play again. “The first couple of weeks I wasn’t sure,” he said. “But after a while, I just prayed to God and put it in his hands and did everything I could and stayed positive and made sure I stayed in the weight room and the gym and just kept my goals ahead and looked forward.” After the Chiefs cut him because he lied about the incidents, the Browns signed Hunt on Feb. 11, a month before the league handed down its suspension. He was allowed to practice with the team during training camp but was slowed by a groin injury that eventually led to surgery in August to repair a sports hernia. Hunt said he’s now 100 percent physically and in a better place emotionally. He takes nothing for granted. “I just really appreciate the fact that I get to go out and do this every day and it made me appreciate it even more, waking up every morning and coming to work even though there were days when I didn’t like doing it,” he said. “But now it’s just, ‘Yeah, I get to go to work again today’ and now it’s just a great feeling to be able to come here and train and put the grind in.” �CLASSIFIEDS 4B Sunday, November 10, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel REAL ESTATE Land (Acreage) (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN 72 Acres QHDU LQ 0DVRQ &RXQW\ QHDU /HWDUW RII 6DQGKLOO 5G� %HDXWLIXOO\ ZRRGHG ZLWK SOHQW\ RI OHYHO JURXQG IRU EXLOGLQJ� :DWHU� HOHFWULF� JUHDW KXQWLQJ� HDV\ DFFHVV DORQJ D TXLHW FRXQWU\ JUDYHO URDG� �������� 2ZQHU ILQDQFLQJ ZLWK ������ GRZQ �����PWK [ �� \UV� &DOO IRU PDSV� (304)966-1084. brunerland.com 0HLJV &R� �� DFUHV �������� *DOOLD &R� ��� DFUHV RQ +RUVHFUHHN 5G� ������� ± FDOO ������������ RU YLVLW ZZZ�EUXQHUODQG�FRP ZH ILQDQFH ANIMALS Livestock LEGAL NOTICE Sealed proposals will be received at the office of the City Manager, City of Gallipolis, 333 Third Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 until Noon on December 5, 2019 and will be opened and read immediately thereafter for the: Blue Fountain Lift Station Pump Replacement Completion Date - 90 days from Notice to Proceed This project consists of renovation of the Blue Fountain Lift Station and includes the installation of two submersible pumps and equipment, control panels and electrical wiring, valve box, air release valve, and piping.

Their next challenge will be as different as a Super Bowl MVP and a raw rookie. The AFC North leaders get to face a winless team starting a quarterback who’s never taken a snap in an NFL regularseason game. Ryan Finley knows it won’t be easy. The Ravens (6-2) pestered Brady enough to forge a 37-20 win last weekend . Now comes a fourth-round pick making his debut for a Cincinnati team that’s already looking to next year and is willing to turn the most important position over to someone who hasn’t even worked with the starters until this week. And top receiver A.J. Green is expected to miss another game in his recovery from ankle surgery. “It’s been fun,” Finley said. “It reminds me of getting ready for a game back in college.” The fun ends when the Bengals (0-8) meet a team that was more than their match last month. The Ravens held the ball for nearly 40 minutes in a 23-17 victory when Andy Dalton led the offense. The ninth-year veteran was benched during Cincinnati’s bye week by coach Zac Taylor so that the Bengals can find out whether Finley is their future or if they need to start looking at a quarterback in the first round of the draft. Dalton went 8-8 against the Ravens with 21 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. It’ll be strange for both teams to continue the rivalry with him watching from the sideline . “That is going to be pretty crazy,” Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith said. “I’ve been playing against him (since 2011). We got drafted in the same class. He was my first interception. It is going to be strange because obviously, our careers have kind of been mirrored.” Baltimore has won four in a row overall to take control of the division, leading Pittsburgh by two games. A victory Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium would give the Ravens their first series sweep of Cincinnati since 2011 .

The Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle spent his team’s bye week back home in Pittsburgh working out in the facility at the University of Pittsburgh that bears his name . It was cold. Well, cold to a guy who’s spent the last few years soaking up the Southern California sunshine while becoming the NFL’s most disruptive force. “It was a little chilly,” Donald said with a laugh. “I said: ‘LA is changing me! I’m getting a little soft!’” Not exactly. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year remains as dangerous as ever heading into Sunday’s homecoming at Heinz Field when the Rams (5-3) visit the Steelers (4-4). Following a slow start, Donald has sacks in three straight Martin From page 1B Hill, MH, sr.; Ines Grom, Wyoming, S, sr.; Peri Martin, Gallia Academy, S, sr.; Karly Niesen, Roger Bacon, S, sr.; Abigail Walker, John Glenn, MH, jr.

Watt said. “It doesn’t matter what aspect of the game it is, he really has no weakness and that’s what makes him the best.” And a potential matchup nightmare for Pittsburgh. The Steelers have ripped off three consecutive victories after opening 1-4, relying heavily on the defense to create turnovers while the offense searches for an identity under quarterback Mason Rudolph. Rudolph has been a solid game manager if not exactly a difference maker, thanks in part to an offensive line that’s allowed a leaguelow eight sacks. Donald, however, presents a unique challenge. He doesn’t just rush off the edge. He doesn’t just bull his way put the middle. He doesn’t just rely on stunts to create pass rush lanes. He does it all. All the time. Asked if Cam Heyward does for the Steelers what Donald does for the Rams, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin shrugged. “I don’t know that anybody is that guy for anybody,” Tomlin said. “I think Aaron Donald is Aaron Donald.” And when Donald is free to be Donald, the Rams are among the NFL’s elite. Pittsburgh’s recovery from a rocky opening month that included losing Ben Roethlisberger for the season with a right elbow injury in Week 2 could be derailed quickly if it can’t find a way to keep Rudolph upright and Donald in check. Far easier planned than done. “He is the leader of the pack,” Tomlin said. “You can take any block and 2019 OHSVCA Division III All-Ohio Teams First team Taylor Alt, OttawaGlandorf, OH, sr.; Maddy Bilinovic, Independence, L, sr.; Samantha Canner, Buckeye Trail, MH, sr.; Lauren Gilliland, Coldwater, MH/OH/OP, sr.; Alli Mcquay, Wheelersburg, P, sr.; Kim Miller, Hiland, S/ RS, sr.; MaKenna Schafer, Huron, MH/RS, jr.; Hannah Warrington, LibertyBenton, OH, sr.

Jalen Ramsey is likely to spend much of his third game with the Rams glued to Smith-Schuster, while cornerback Troy Hill and safeties Marqui Christian and rookie Taylor Rapp will have increased responsibilities again.
