The issue of whether parking meters should be reinstalled is being looked at again as a source of revenue as Pomeroy struggles with budget issues. Several merchants were present, and council listened to their concerns. Brandon and Rana Bartee were first to address the council. Brandon spoke for them both, and thanked council for all the things they do to encourage growth. “We appreciate the little things council does to keep the town looking good,” Brandon Bartee said. “Pomeroy has seen a revival in community pride.” “We are moving into a cashless society, and if meters are reintroduced, they would need to have an updated system that allows electronic payment. Putting cash in meters can be prohibitive, it isn’t the cost of parking, it is how it is paid.” He explained that most younger shoppers don’t carry cash, and since newer meters use electronic payment methods, they are not prepared to put a quarter in a machine and may simply choose to go elsewhere, especially for spur of the moment shopping. “The overwhelming opinion of the merchants is that mass enforcement is not the solution,” Brandon Bartee concluded. River Roasters Coffee Co. owners Larry and Candice Hess have both their business and residence in the downtown area, and said that parking for residents is difficult since the meters expire and require frequent input. INDEX Obituary: 2 Weather: 3 Opinion: 4 News: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Comics: 8 Classifieds: 9 “It is unrealistic,” Hess said, “to expect a business owner to put money in meters or move the vehicle, it is difficult to maintain a business and be concerned about parking. There needs to be a better solution for residents.” Hess said that he has read several studies that have found no added revenue attributed to meters, and that often money is lost on administration. “I don’t sell high dollar items, so would my customers pay to park when they just want a cup of coffee, or would they go to McDonald’s instead? I don’t know the answer, but not having meters is working for us.” The issue was raised by Council that long term parking in front of businesses can be an issue that meters would remedy, and Front Paige Outfitters owner Paige Cleek spoke to that issue. “It doesn’t happen that often,” Cleek said. “The trade off between that occasional infraction and not having meters is worth it. Council approved taking out the meters in 2017, if they are reinstalled we are moving backward.” Mayor Don Anderson explained that council would need to look at everything before coming to a decision, but that in light of the defeat of the operating levy on the November ballot, council needed to look at all revenue options. “The operating levy is critical to having the best police force we possibly can, since that didn’t pass we need to look at all of our options.” Anderson said that Council would try again to place and pass the levy on the next ballot, and merchants were in support of efforts that would encourage See COUNCIL | 5 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

The hospital first opened its doors on Sept. 24, 1959 as a locally owned, non-profit health system. “Our founders knew the importance of quality health care for folks who live in Point Pleasant and around in Mason County,” said the new PVH Kayla Hawthorne | OVP Chief Executive Officer Jeff Pleasant Valley Hospital Chief Executive Officer Jeff Noblin. “They understood the Noblin spoke about the history of the health system. importance of convenience and quality of care. They also understood the importance of good service.” That founder was Dr. Jack Buxton. Chairman of the PVH Board of Trustees Dr. James Lockhart said Buxton planned for the hospital for five years before it opened. “It all began when a young optometrist named Dr. Jack Buxton had a dream,” Lockhart said. “Being a realist, I doubt that he referred to it as a dream, but as more of a statement.” According to Lockhart, See PVH | 5 Dean Wright | OVP Pictured is the door leading to the Gallia County Jail which is located in the basement of the Gallia County Courthouse in Gallipolis on Locust Street. Gallia County Jail concerns shared Inmate families speak; county answers By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest.com GALLIPOLIS — Inmate families and county officials surrounded by ongoing concerns with Gallia County Jail controversies recently spoke of those concerns to the Gallipolis Daily Tribune. “There are a lot of details that, at this time, we are not able to release as it would be inappropriate based on the fact that we are still waiting for (Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation) to conclude their investigation,” said Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin to the Tribune. “At the appropriate time, once the investigation has concluded, we will be able to release those facts and answer further questions. I look forward to the completion of this investigation so the facts can be known and we can continue this dialogue in an informed and responsible manner. Many of the ‘facts’ that have been reported are not based in truth, but mere speculation, and this type of conversation is not beneficial.” According to area Nurse Practitioner Sherry Russell, mother of deceased Gallia inmate David “Tommy” Gibson, 27, she had received information regarding the death of her son saying that he was supposed to be on drug withdrawal watch in an area where he could be viewed from the exterior of his cell. Instead, Gibson was reportedly closed in isolation, where he was found hung with a blanket on Sept. 14. His death was reported a suicide. Gibson had reportedly abused meth and Suboxone. He was placed in the jail after his mother and wife reportedly filed domestic abuse complaints about him to law enforcement. Russell said his escalating bursts of violence, which she attributed to drug abuse, were what propelled her to call law enforcement. A criminal complaint gathered from Gallipolis Municipal Court records said that Gibson reportedly shoved his mother “on or about Sept. 5” after a confrontation in the living room of his residence. Gibson’s mother has continued to state that her son should have been more frequently checked on during his reported withdrawal from drugs and she had been told that law enforcement was frequently checking on him before his death. “I feel like we aren’t getting any answers from law enforcement,” said Russell. “I keep hearing the same story again and again about negligence in the jail and we need to change it. You can build a new jail and we do need a new jail. But we need to manage what we have now effectively…My son will have not died in vain.” Russell told the Tribune she has initiated ongoing conversations with the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the matter. Another inmate, Josh Bessey, was reportedly sent to the Gallia Jail on a felony breaking and entering indictment in September roughly a week before a press conference was held on Sept. 29 by the Gallia Sheriff’s Office addressing jail controversies, including the escapes of four inmates (who were later recovered), the deaths of Gibson and another inmate who reportedly died Sept. 23 from overdose, Lacey Wolford, 35. Reportedly, while incarcerated Bessey had spoken up about the treatment of inmates, he said, and was told he needed to change his story. Bessey stated he was restrained in a chair and refused to change his statements and that he wanted a lawyer. According to Bessey, an officer then reportedly attempted to flip him in the restraint chair where his head struck an obstruction in the cell. Reportedly Bessey’s medical records show he had a broken skull and bleeding in his head. He was sent to the the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Sept. 21. “It just didn’t seem right to me,” said Bessey of his interactions in the jail. “They can’t do that.” Records released by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation regarding the death investigation of Mark Simms, an inmate who died December 16, 2018, say that Simms had requested an ambulance due to stomach aneurysm issues two days prior to his death. Simms reportedly was a methamphetamine addict. He was denied a transfer to a medical facility the two days before, revealed investigation interview notes. Contained within the interviews detailing the incident, EMS reportedly took Simms’ vitals and said they were within normal limits but also recommended he be See JAIL | 2 �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2 Thursday, November 21, 2019 DEATH NOTICES Daily Sentinel AP FACT CHECK MELROSE POINT PLEASANT — Carolyn Neil Melrose, 75, of Point Pleasant, passed away at her home on Monday, November 18, 2019.

Julio Cortez | AP Demonstrators hold signs outside Longworth House Office Building, where U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland is testifying before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday during a public impeachment hearing of President Donald Trump’s efforts to tie U.S. aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents. Trump distances himself from Sondland By Hope Yen remarks to reporters. THE FACTS: That’s not credible. Testimony by several officials WASHINGTON revealed that Sondland — President Donald Trump sought to defend was in frequent contact against accusations that with Trump around the time Trump spoke he pushed Ukraine’s with Ukraine President president for a politiVolodymyr Zelenskiy cal “favor” by making about doing a politically a dubious claim that he beneficial “favor.” Tim had little involvement Morrison, the National with the U.S. ambassaSecurity Council’s fordor testifying in House mer Russia and Europe impeachment hearings. director, told House Trump distanced himself Wednesday from investigators that Sondland and Trump had Gordon Sondland, the spoken approximately U.S. ambassador to the five times between July European Union who had direct conversations 15 and Sept. 11 — the weeks that $391 million with the president and in U.S. assistance was other top Trump adviswithheld from Ukraine ers about U.S. policy before it was released as toward Ukraine.

PAM BONDI, White In previous testimony, House adviser: “The he failed to disclose president doesn’t know calling Trump the day him very well.” — after the July 25 phone call in which Trump pressed Zelenskiy to investigate Democrats, along with Biden and his son, as a “favor.” In testimony Wednesday, Sondland did not challenge the account by David Holmes, an aide to top Ukraine diplomat William Taylor, who told House investigators that he overheard Trump discuss “investigations” in Ukraine. Sondland on Wednesday acknowledged that he opened the July 26 conversation by telling Trump that the Zelenskiy “loves your ass.” As recently as Oct. 8, Trump had tweeted that Sondland was a “really good man and great American.” But later on Nov. 8, Trump said that he “hardly” knew Sondland. That came after the ambassador revised testimony to acknowledge he had told an aide to Ukraine’s president in September that military aid would not likely occur until Ukraine made public announcements about corruption investigations. Sondland donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee before being named the U.S. ambassador to the European Union. CALIFORNIA REP. DEVIN NUNES, the top Republican on the committee, announcing that he is requesting a subpoena for the whistleblower’s closed-door testimony: “They’ve zeroed in on an anonymous whistleblower complaint that was cooked up in cooperation with Democrats on this very committee.” THE FACTS: He’s exaggerating. Democrats also would have to agree to a subpoena before one is issued. The whistleblower did speak to staffers on the Democratic-controlled House intelligence committee before filing the formal complaint that would trigger the impeachment inquiry. But he’s taking a big leap in asserting that Democrats schemed with the whistleblower to cook up the complaint. Jail klered” for fire protection and that the jail had failed to meet sanitation standards. Reports also indicated the jail did not have the ability to separate violent from nonviolent offenders. “Some are calling for change and I could not agree with you more,” said Champlin during the Sept. 29 press conference. “I ran for sheriff for that exact change. The citizens of Gallia County were tired of being victimized at an alarming rate. I could not stand by and watch that happen. I’ve been in office for just over two-and-a-half years now. The jail problem is not a two-and-a-half-year-old problem. It’s a problem that’s existed for at least the last 15 to 20 years. After taking office, I quickly realized that our jail was outdated and insufficient to meet the needs and numbers and the types of criminals that we are currently housing…” In 2017, the jail was found to be in noncompliance of 63 standards. Prior to Champlain taking office, in 2016 the jail was found to be in noncompliance of 86 standards; in 2015, the jail was found to be in noncompliance of 71 standards. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections Bureau of Adult Detention told the Tribune in October that when asked about the Gallia Jail that “His- torically, the jail will remain non-compliant and the Bureau of Adult Detention will act as a resource in bringing the jail up to standard.” The institution has the ability to file an action in the Gallia Court of Common Pleas to “enjoin compliance with standards” said an ODRCBAD representative, but had not done so as of October. “I’d have to make no comment on that particular situation because the operation of the jail is the sheriff’s responsibility and authority,” said Commissioner David Smith of families speaking to media about jail concerns. “I’d just reiterate we’re working as diligently as we can to replace the existing facility. My condolences go out (to the families). We’re all aware of what drug issues have done to our society. It’s not just Gallia County. It’s across the country and concentrated in rural areas.” Gallia commissioners passed a quarter of a percent sales tax in January to address concerns with a growing inmate population, criminal justice costs and the need for a new jail. County officials are still in midst of looking through conceptual jail designs for a facility that may be placed on Second Avenue next to the current Gallia Courthouse.

Mandee Roush, Simms’ former partner, said that after she had seen the investigation records that she felt “ill.” Roush and Simms shared a daughter. She said she believed Simms should have been taken by ambulance to a hospital before his death. Roush said she had been having conversations with the FBI as well. Reportedly Simms died while his grandmother was at the jail to post bond for him and to take him to the hospital. Gallia EMS was also contacted to assist Simms on the day of his death but was unable to revive him. “There is no excuse for this kind of thing,” said Roush about Simms. “He didn’t deserve that. He had problems, but he didn’t deserve to die vomiting…” Brenda Wolford, mother of Lacey Wolford, said inmates told her family they had repeatedly called for assistance for several minutes when Wolford became unconscious, Sept. 23, in the Gallia Jail. Reportedly, officers attempted to revive Lacey of an overdose but he was dead before officers could uti- lize Narcan on him. She said she still has yet to see her son’s autopsy. Ohio Bureau of Criminal investigation reports that it is investigating the jail and cannot speak to the nature of its investigation other than it is ongoing. The FBI told the Tribune that it cannot confirm or deny any investigations as per policy when asked if it was investigating. The Gallia Sheriff’s Office has directed any ongoing questions about jail investigations to Ohio BCI. County officials have continually cited concerns with lack of funding, jail overcrowding, a nearly 70-year-old jail facility and the opioid epidemic as being a key issue in why the jail has had reports of violence and failed to meet state standards. Reports say the the Gallia Jail was found by Ohio State Jail Inspector Scott Filicky during the December 2018 inspection of the jail to be in noncompliance of 77 standards. Many of those standards could not be met “due to the layout and age of the jail.” Others referenced a lack of documentation for practices, policies or needing to update policies. One report passage referenced a lack of closed circuit television systems and noted that some inmates were sleeping on the floor on damaged mattresses. Jail inspections revealed the area was not “sprin- Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342. �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Thursday, November 21, 2019 3 Trump directed Ukraine quid pro quo, key witness says By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Eric Tucker Associated Press WASHINGTON — Ambassador Gordon Sondland declared to impeachment investigators Wednesday that President Donald Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani explicitly sought a “quid pro quo” with Ukraine, leveraging an Oval Office visit for political investigations of Democrats. But he also came to believe the trade involved much more. Besides the U.S. offer of a coveted meeting at the White House, Sondland testified it was his understanding the president was holding up nearly $400 million in military aid, which Ukraine badly need with an aggressive Russia on its border, in exchange for the country’s announcement of the investigations. Sondland conceded that Trump never told him directly the security assistance was blocked for the probes, a gap in his account that Republicans and the White House seized on as evidence the president did nothing wrong. But the ambassador said his dealings with Giuliani, as well as administration officials, left him with the clear understanding of what was at stake. “Was there a ‘quid pro quo?’” Sondland testified in opening remarks. “With regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes.” The rest, he said, was obvious: “Two plus two equals four.” Sondland, the ambas- TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 34° 51° 54° Cloudy, becoming breezy today with a shower.

Dubbed one of the “three amigos” pursuing Ukraine policy, Sondland disputed that they were running some sort of “rogue” operation outside official U.S. policy. He produced emails and texts showing he, former special envoy Kurt Volker and Energy Secretary Rick Perry kept Pompeo and others apprised of their activity. One message from Volker said, “Spoke w Rudy per guidance from S.” He said, “S means the secretary of state.” Saturday November 23rd A: Syracuse Precipitation FRIDAY The envoy appeared prepared to fend off scrutiny over the way his testimony has shifted in closed-door settings, saying “my memory has not been perfect.” He said the State Department left him without access to emails, call records and other documents he needed in the inquiry. Republicans called his account “the trifecta of unreliability.” Still, he did produce new emails and text messages to bolster his assertion that others in the administration were aware of the investigations he was pursuing for Trump from Ukraine.

But he and the others understood that Giuliani “was expressing the desires of the president of the United States, and we knew that these investigations were important to the president.” He also came to understand that the military aid hinged on the investigations, though Trump never told him so directly. Sondland, a wealthy hotelier, has emerged as a central figure in an intense week in the probe that is featuring nine witnesses testifying over three days. EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM ALMANAC High Low Normal high Normal low Record high Record low July phone call in which he appealed to Ukraine’s leader for “a favor” — the investigations. He also distanced himself from his hand-picked ambassador, saying he didn’t know him “very well.” A month ago, he called Sondland “a really good man and a great American.” The impeachment inquiry focuses significantly on allegations that Trump sought investigations of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son -- and the discredited idea that Ukraine rather than Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election -- in return for the badly needed military aid for Ukraine and the White House visit. In Moscow on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was pleased that the “political battles” in Washington had overtaken the Russia allegations, which are supported by the U.S. intelligence agencies. “Thank God,” Putin said, “no one is accusing us of interfering in the U.S. elections anymore. Now they’re accusing Ukraine.” Sondland said that conditions on any potential Ukraine meeting at the White House started as “generic” but more items were “added to the menu including -- Burisma and 2016 election meddling.” Burisma is the Ukrainian gas company where Biden’s son Hunter served on the board. And, he added, “the server,” the hacked Democratic computer system. During questioning in the daylong session, sador to the European Union and a major donor to Trump’s inauguration, was the most highly anticipated witness in the House’s impeachment inquiry into the 45th president of the United States. In often-stunning testimony, he painted a picture of a Ukraine pressure campaign that was prompted by Trump himself, orchestrated by Giuliani and well-known to other senior officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Sondland said he raised his concerns about a quid pro quo for military aid with Vice President Mike Pence — a conversation a Pence adviser vigorously denied. Pompeo also dismissed Sondland’s account. However, Sondland said, “Everyone was in the loop. It was no secret.” The ambassador said that he and Trump spoke directly about desired investigations, including a colorful cellphone call this summer overheard by others at a restaurant in Kyiv. Trump himself insists daily that he did nothing wrong and the Democrats are just trying to drum him out of office. As the hearing proceeded, he spoke to reporters outside the White House.

This fear prevents them from making simple corrections when they’re easy to make. The worst tree defects can be fixed, without climbing, when your trees are still young. There are some simple and easy steps you can take to train young trees. First you have to know enough to spot structural problems before it’s too late to fix them. Steve An easy problem to spot is two Boehme competing trunks (called co-domContributing inant leaders by arborists). This is columnist where, instead of one straight trunk, a tree has two side by side. We refer to this as a “wishbone” on the central trunk, and it’s a really bad flaw. On young trees, it’s very easy to fix. If you spot this early you can just cut off the weaker trunk and the other one will take over and grow straight. A variation on this is where there are multiple trunks from the ground up. Again, simply cut off all but the strongest and straightest one, right at the ground, and you’ve fixed the problem. The remaining trunk will now get all the food and water, and will thrive. Another common defect to look for is called a “bark-included crotch”. This defect occurs when, instead of a healthy limb attached to the trunk, a tree forms a close crotch (see illustration). As the tree grows, bark is “included” between the limb and trunk, or the tree forms competing trunks with bark between them. The limb and trunk are not really attached, since the bark forms a seam down inside the tree. As the tree grows and the limb or second trunk gets heavier, this hidden weakness becomes more dangerous. The tree may simply split in half by gravity, but usually it’s an ice storm or heavy wind that finally sends the limb crashing down. The best and easiest time to fix bark-included crotches is when they first occur on young trees, before the limb is thicker than your thumb. You can simply cut the offending limb off at the crotch and it will heal over in a single season. Bigger limbs are harder to cut through and take longer to heal, but the longer you wait the worse the problem. Deal with it now. To cut tree limbs properly make three cuts: 1. Make a cut on the underside of the limb an inch or two above the spot where it meets the trunk. This will prevent tearing or peeling of the bark when you cut the limb off. 2. Cut downward from above, a few inches further out on the limb, until it falls. This will leave a short stub. 3. Cut the stub off. Make the final cut straight across the remaining limb, not parallel to the trunk. The exposed end should be round, not oval. Leave enough of a stub so that you don’t damage the “branching collar”; the wrinkled flare of bark around the base of the limb. This will then grow and quickly cover the open cut. Never leave a stub longer than a halfinch, because the bark can’t heal over your cut and this invites many tree problems. The reason for cutting in three steps is that you can’t cut at the correct angle from above, because the tree trunk interferes with your saw. The final cut has to be made from below. The heavy branch will cause your saw to bind in the cut and get stuck. By cutting most of the limb off first, you take the weight off so you can make the final cut easily and precisely. Winter is the best time to prune trees. In winter it’s easy to spot where the problems are, and winter pruning is not harmful to trees because they are dormant. Cuts made in winter are less vulnerable to insect infestation, and will begin healing right away in the upcoming season. Remember “a stitch in time saves nine”? Get over your fear and you’ll actually have healthier, stronger trees. You’ll be amazed how proper pruning cuts heal over without a trace. Once you see this work you’ll be proud of yourself.

THEIR VIEW Jim Jordan hasn’t changed a bit (Editor’s note: The following editorial was written by The Lima News, an AIM Media Midwest publication.) The Lima News Republicans never made it a secret they wanted Jim Jordan to be one of their nine members on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The panel’s hearings will determine whether President Trump’s behavior warrants impeachment, and Jordan has clearly defined himself as the person who will go toeto-toe against any and all of Trump’s critics. His unflinching loyalty actually comes to a fault, we believe. Yet it is exactly what’s wanted by those who voted him into office seven times in the highly conservative 4th Congressional District, which snakes all the way from central Ohio to the shores of Lake Erie. It’s been called a district where the name of a potted plant could win an election as long as the plant’s name had an “R” beside it. The 4th District has voted Republican in all but 16 years since the Civil War. While Jordan is beloved by most in his home district, he’s loathed elsewhere. The accusations against him are many: He’s been criticized for being bombastic, too combative, being accusatory, playing up to the Sean Hannitys and Rush Limbaughs of the world, and even for not wearing a suit or sport coat to hearings – on Wednesday and Friday, Jordan showed up to the impeachment hearings wearing his trademark look: shirtsleeves and a yellow tie. What people don’t understand about Jordan – and probably why he’s such a darling of the Republican’s right wing — is that Jordan doesn’t just drink the conservative Kool-Aid, he manufactures it. There’s nothing wish-washy about him, which in itself is unusual for almost any politician inside the Beltway. Twelve years in Washington has not changed the 55-year-old Jordan. If anything, it has invigorated him to the point where he is known as the conscience of the GOP’s conservative wing. That at times has come with a price, even from inside his own party. In 2013, Jordan and 150 other Republicans broke with House Speaker John Boehner to oppose a compromise to extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for families earning less than $450,000. Jordan voted against it because it raised taxes on upper-income Americans and contained puny budget cuts. Later, he joined a group of conservative Republicans to torpedo a House Republican leadership plan to provide health-care coverage for people with pre-existing health conditions. Some Ohio Republicans were so irritated with his resistance to compromise on both issues that they briefly toyed with eliminating Jordan’s congressional seat during the 2011 redistricting battles. As recently as the past two weeks, Jordan had to again defend himself against accusations that he had knowledge of the perversions facilitated by Dr. Richard Strauss when Jordan worked as an assistant wrestling coach at The Ohio State University. Is it a coincidence the claims by a wrestling referee came just before the impeachment hearings began? You be the judge. Jordan’s political rise began in 2006 when he won a surprisingly easy congressional primary over Findlay banker Frank Guglielmi then cruised past Democrat Rick Siferd in the November general election. It was no secret that then-U.S. Rep. Mike Oxley, a Republican who held the office for 25 years before announcing his retirement, favored Guglielmi. But Jordan, despite overwhelmingly being outspent by Guglielmi, won the old-fashioned way. He knocked on doors, shook hands and spoke to church groups, veteran organizations, Rotary Clubs and women’s groups. Send him an invitation, and chances were good the 43-yearold state senator would make a visit happen. In that regard, Jordan hasn’t changed. A dozen years later, he’s still highly visible throughout his district. He’ll tell you he was sent to Washington to reduce the size of government, cut the deficit and halt tax increases — “the people’s business,” as he likes to call it. In recent years, however, he’s spent less time on those objectives. Instead, he’s taken on the role of government watchdog and as the president’s Protector in Chief. That’s made him a frequent visitor of the Sunday morning talk shows, which has drawn the ire of Democrats. But back in Ohio’s flat lands, he still wins elections by double-digit margins. You can bet Jordan will continue to have strong support across the 4th District as the impeachment process continues next week and beyond.

Russo Associated Press The College Football Playoff rankings were unchanged at the top this week, with LSU first followed by Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia. The selection committee’s third weekly rankings had little movement in the top 10, with Alabama fifth followed by Oregon, Utah, Penn State, Oklahoma and Minnesota. The committee could face an interesting decision with Alabama in the coming weeks. The Crimson Tide lost quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the season to a hip injury Saturday. Alabama faces Western Carolina this weekend, so playing backup Mac Jones shouldn’t make much difference. On Thanksgiving weekend, the Tide will face Auburn with its No. 2 quarterback, which should give the committee a better read on what kind of a team Alabama is now. “We do not look forward,” said committee chairman Rob Mullens, who is also Oregon’s athletic director. “Our charge is to rank the teams based on their body of work through week 12, and that’s what we did. Obviously, we’ll watch the games moving forward and evaluate them after that.” Minnesota and Baylor, both of which lost for the first time last weekend, dropped in the rankings. Minnesota went from eighth to 10th after losing at Iowa. Baylor slipped from 13th to 14th after blowing a 25-point lead to Oklahoma. Ohio State and Penn State play this weekend in a game that could essentially eliminate the Nittany Lions from the playoff race. The highest ranked team from outside the Power Five conferences is Memphis at 18th, one ahead of American Athletic Conference rival Cincinnati, and two ahead of Boise State from the Mountain West. The highest-ranked team from outside the Power Five with a conference championship receives a bid to one of the New Year’s Six bowls. WHERE IS THIS GOING? It certainly looks as if the Southeastern Conference is positioned to have two teams in the final four, but it’s far from a slam dunk. Tagovailoa’s injury complicates the evaluation of Alabama, and it is difficult to see how it does anything but harm the Crimson Tide’s chances. There is no way to argue the Tide is as good without one of the two or three best quarterbacks in the country and with a backup who has shown to be capable but not a star. “We are aware of who’s available in what games, and we make an evaluation based on watching the games and the results,” Mullens said. Of course, the rest of Alabama’s roster is still about as talented and deep as it gets in college football. There is a case to be made that if Jones and Alabama win at Auburn in impressive fashion they could get the Cardale Jones bump from the committee. You might remember in 2014, Jones stepped in for an injured J.T. Barrett in the Big Ten championship game and led Ohio State to a historic 59-0 rout of Wisconsin. That game nudged the Buckeyes past TCU and Baylor and into the fourth seed.

Alabama was probably going to need some help working its way back into the top four even before Tagovailoa’s injury. Now, it seems the Tide will need some real chaos in other conferences to extend its streak of playoff appearances to six. So that leaves LSU and Georgia sitting in the top four and on course to meet in the SEC championship game. Barring upsets over the next two weeks, LSU will enter unbeaten and Georgia will be 11-1. (Note: Texas A&M is now the SEC’s Agent of Chaos, playing at Georgia on Saturday and at LSU next week). If Georgia were to win the SEC, beating an unbeaten LSU in the process, it is probably safe to assume the Tigers would still have done enough with victories against Alabama, Florida, Auburn and Texas to stay in the top four. Twice previously a team that has not won its conference has reached the playoff, but neither Ohio State in 2016 nor Alabama in 2017 reached their conference title game. No team has lost its conference title game and made the playoff. That would be a little weird. Also, the previous cases of a team getting into the playoff without winning its conference included Ohio State getting in over Penn State, the champion of the Big Ten, and Alabama at 11-1 getting in over several two-loss conference champions. Neither scenario seems likely this time around, though there are some real traps laid out for the teams at the top of the Big 12 over the next two weeks and many of the Big Ten’ best teams still have to play each other. LSU winning out and handing Georgia a second loss probably shuts down any chance of the SEC getting two teams in the playoff, but here’s a tricky one. If the Bulldogs lose to Texas A&M and beat LSU, does the committee leave out Georgia and still go with LSU? Here’s the big question: If the SEC gets two teams in this year, shutting out 12-1 champions from the Big 12 and Pac-12, do those conference join the Big Ten and start making serious noise about expansion?

The Bobcats claimed a 609-to-418 advantage in total offense in the win, outgaining the Falcons 432-to-168 on the ground. Bowling Green earned a 25-to-23 edge in first downs and committed eight penalties for 55 yards, while OU was sent back 11 times for a total of 93 yards. Nathan Rourke — who was 14-of-21 passing for 267 yards and three touchdowns — added 25 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. Allison led all-rushers with 175 yards and three touchdowns on 12 carries, while Tuggle’s only try went for 53 yards and six points. Portis had 36 yards and a score on five totes, while Kurtis Rourke carried the ball three times for 20 yards. Ross — who caught one pass for a 22-yard touchdown — had 17 yards on four carries, Jake Neatherton added 12 yards on three totes, while Joe Mischler ran once for four yards. referring a 73-14 win over Maryland followed by a 56-21 win over Rutgers. Penn State coach James Franklin referenced his team’s games against OSU the last three years during his weekly press conference on Tuesday and also mentioned the Buckeyes’ double-overtime win over Penn State in 2014. “We’ve had a lot of competition with these guys. We’ve played them probably as well as anybody over that period of time. But obviously not good enough. We’ve got to take the next step,” he said. Penn State’s big leads the last two years aren’t the only items that got away from the Nittany Lions and ended up with Ohio State. OSU quarterback Justin Fields, who transferred from Georgia to Ohio in January, originally committed to Penn State before signing with Georgia. “Obviously we were involved with him early, had a significant relationship for a long time. Obviously a very talented guy,” Franklin said. “You come up with your list of things that you’re looking for in terms of characteristics, height, weight, speed, intelligence, release, accuracy, touchdown-to-interception ratio, win/loss percentage, all the things we look at when we’re evaluating and studying quarterbacks. He checked a lot of boxes. “Based on what I’m seeing on film right now, I think we were right. He’s pretty good,” Franklin said. Cox led the Bobcat receiving unit with 83 yards and a score on four grabs. Shane Hooks and Ryan Luehrman caught three passes apiece, gaining 79 and 24 yards respectively. Buckner — who ran once for a gain of three yards — had 54 yards and a touchdown on a pair of receptions, while Ty Walton caught one five-yard pass. Jared Dorsa and Keye Thompson led the Green and White defense with eight tackles apiece, including one tackle for a loss each. McKnight and Austin Conrad each claimed a sack in the win.

Steelers’ Rudolph: ‘No acceptable excuse’ PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph says there is “no acceptable” excuse for his role in a brawl with Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett that ended with Garrett ripping off Rudolph’s helmet, then hitting Rudolph in the head with it. Rudolph said he felt Garrett hit him “late” on the next-to-last snap of Cleveland’s 21-7 victory Thursday. The two players became entangled when Garrett took Rudolph to the ground. Rudolph said he was trying to get Garrett off him when he grabbed the back of Garrett’s helmet. Garrett responded by taking off Rudolph’s helmet and swinging it at Rudolph, smacking him on the right side of his head. Rudolph said he is fine and holds no ill will toward Garrett, who is appealing an indefinite suspension handed out by the NFL. Rudolph said he should have done a better job of keeping his composure but did not say anything to escalate what he called an “unfortunate situation.” Rudolph said he has not yet been (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN ANNOUNCEMENTS Notices %HDXWLIXO *UDYH %ODQNHWV ������ :UHDWK V ��� XS� 6XH 5LFH 0RUQLQJ 6WDU 5G 5DFLQH ������������ AUCTIONS notified of any discipline from the NFL but will accept any penalty he receives.
