The census is important to many agencies and organizations, as well as local governments. For the next several months, as the census approaches, The Daily Sentinel will be publishing articles from agencies regarding the importance of the census and how it impacts their specific agency and the community as a whole. By Courtney Midkiff Special to the Sentinel MEIGS COUNTY — In 2020, those residing in the U.S. will be asked to participate in the decennial census – the 23rd since its inception in 1790. The goal of the U.S. Census 2020 is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place As public health practitioners, we at the Meigs County Health Dept. (MCHD) rely on the important work of the U.S. Census Bureau to provide us with accurate, wholly representative data of who is living in the U.S. When the accuracy of this data is at risk, we lose the basic ability to keep track of health and intervene on behalf of better health outcomes. As the U.S. Census Bureau has been forced to grapple with resource limitations, we have to pay more attention to how undercounting affects program funding and congressional representation in our government. (Source: Human Impact Partners) Public health professionals have long played a vital — albeit underappreciated — role in shaping, not simply using, U.S. Census data to provide the factual evidence required for good governance and health equity (or a state where all persons, regardless of are able to be as healthy as they can — to reach their full health potential). Since its advent, the U.S. Census has constituted a key political instrument, given the novel mandate of the U.S. Constitution to allocate political representation via a national decennial census. The data used to categorize and enumerate people and places have profound implications for every branch and level of government and the resources and representation accorded across and within states. The MCHD is partnering with the U.S. Census. As part of its Health Equity Policy, the MCHD is committed to improving data collection, analysis and use of data to advance health equity by: expanding data collection to include information about smaller ethnic and cultural communities; using data that focuses on the conditions that create health; incorporating qualitative data to identify root causes of health inequities and to lead to solutions; engaging the community to understand what the data says. Meanwhile, with the 2020 census quickly approaching, there are again concerns that this decade’s census could undercount the number of children in the U.S., especially in the birth to four-year-old population. Though the undercount of children isn’t a new issue, it could impact children’s health in the coming decade. In 2010, the census missed nearly 1 million children ages zero to 4. Children can go uncounted for any number of reasons — for example, living in a household with multiple families or living at an unregistered address. Minority children or those who live in low-income families See CENSUS | 5A ‘Shop Small’ this holiday season By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — Black Friday and Cyber Monday may get all the attention nationally, but it is that shopping day which falls in between that can be the most important in small communities.

On Thursday, Nov. 8, four members of the Racine Southern FFA chapter traveled to Symmes Valley High School to compete in the annual District 10 Job Interview Contest. The individuals were asked prior to the contest to decide on one of the available jobs and prepare for a mock interview. They were also asked to type up a resume and cover letter to be presented at the competition.

After the interview, the participants were sent to a computer lab to type a follow-up letter addressing their interview and anything they might have forgotten to mention as well as express their interest in the position. Each of these were timed and graded. The participants were separated by grade and the results were as follows: Cassidy Bailey, freshman (7th overall), Rachel Jackson, sophomore (2nd overall), Caelin Seth, junior (4th overall) and Austin Rose, senior (7th overall). The participants are looking forward to improving their scores for next year. Article written and submitted by Rachel Jackson, 2019-2020 Racine Southern FFA Historian.

Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp was a 2019 recipient of a Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation (SOACDF) Youth Development Grant. The grant was for $250,000 with a $50,000 match to fund a new sleeping and conference facility and update the HVAC system in Harrison Powell Lodge. “We are excited for this new opportunity to expand our sleeping facilities and update Harrison Powell. This will allow us to accommodate more campers, but also give us another rental space for the community to use” said Michelle Stumbo, Board Past President. Ground was broken in October and extensive progress has been made. The projected completion date for the new building is April 2020, just in time for the 4-H camping season. The new building will provide restroom access for the boys’ hill cabins and will sleep approximately 30 people in two sleeping areas. It will also feature a small common area for groups to rent. Board members have been actively working to raise the $50,000 matching funds and have raised $16,000, or 32 percent of the way to the goal.

That has changed. Collecting the money daily raised his awareness about the lives of the poor in his community. “He started to have empathy. That is very powerful feedback,” the rabbi said. “It all happened because he was giving every day. He wasn’t listening to lectures or speeches or anything like that.” Similar pilot programs are underway in several communities, including Lawrence, Kansas. Greenberg and others were approached by hundreds of attendees seeking to import the program locally. The El Paso program is an extension of the philosophy of the movement’s late leader, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who was one of the most influential global leaders in Judaism in modern times. “The Rebbe always taught that action is the most important thing,” Greenberg said. Earlier this year, Israeli researchers reported that violent attacks against Jews spiked significantly in 2018, with the largest reported number of Jews killed in antiSemitic acts in decades. Capped by the deadly shooting that killed 11 worshippers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018, assaults targeting Jews rose 13% that year, according to Tel Aviv University researchers. They recorded nearly 400 cases worldwide, with more than a quarter of the major violent cases taking place in the United States. Rabbi Yitzchok Loewenthal, of Copenhagen, Denmark, said some “Jewish or Jewish friendly” people in his community were targeted recently with antiSemitic yellow stars painted on their post boxes, and dozens of graves were desecrated. Security in Copenhagen was already heightened because of a 2015 attack in which a gunman opened fire outside of a bat mitzvah celebration, killing a Jewish security guard. While anti-Semitic acts must be confronted, and security considered, “that must not be the focus. The focus should be a positive,” Loewenthal said. UN: ‘Quick wins’ needed to keep goals in reach GENEVA (AP) — Countries need to begin making steep cuts to their greenhouse gas emissions immediately or risk missing the targets they’ve agreed for limiting global warming, with potentially dire consequences, senior United Nations officials said Tuesday. A report by the U.N. Environment Program, published days before governments gather in Madrid for an annual meeting on climate change, showed the amount of planet-heating gases being pumped into the atmosphere hitting a new high last year, despite a nearglobal pledge to reduce them. Man-made greenhouse gas emissions rose in 2018 to 55.3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, according to the U.N.’s annual ‘emissions gap’ report. While much of the increase came from emerging economies such as China and India, some of those emissions are the result of manufacturing outsourced from developed countries. Partnership. Even the less ambitious goal of capping global warming at 2C (3.6 F) would require annual emissions cuts of 2.7% between 2020 and 2030, UNEP said. That currently seems unlikely.

The position has an application process, which includes the submission of poems and a description of a project to be completed during the two-year term of office. What do you hope to accomplish as poet laureate? My overarching duty and goal is to promote poetry throughout the state — and that’s also my great pleasure! People like poetry more than they realize. They usually receive it through songs. Who hasn’t been comforted by a song like “Amazing Grace” at a funeral? “Twas grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home” — I think we all need to hear words of comfort like that sometimes. If you have ever claimed a song as “our song,” I doubt it was the melody that made you choose it; it was the lyrics — the poetry. Incidentally, an exploration of my state’s poetry is also a wonderful opportunity to explore lessons of geography, history and general literacy. I’m a teacher, so you just know I’m going to jump at the chance to use it for its maximum educational benefit. you fell into via a love for writing?

I ask myself that almost every day! While I was growing up, I loved writing — loved my English teachers, loved working on the yearbook, loved reading everything I could get my hands on. I got serious about it in college, at Morehead State University, where I learned to turn a critical eye on my writing and use feedback to improve it. After leaving college, I hung out for a bit in Missoula, Montana, a firstrate literary town, and then I came back to Ohio to do newspaper work in Kenton, Ohio. I went on to get my Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from Bowling Green State University in 2000, and I began teaching writing full-time at the university level. In 2012, I moved to Missouri. My husband, Mike Czyzniejewski, is a fiction writer, and he got a professor job at Missouri State University. I taught a little before landing a job as the editor and general manager of “The Marshfield Mail,” a small Missouri weekly. I was surprised to be chosen as the Missouri Poet Laureate, because I’ve always felt like an Ohioan, through and through. I love my new state, though. It’s beautiful, and we love to explore it, with hikes almost every nice weekend. I’m qualified for the job, with two books, three chapbooks and lots of individual publications to my credit, and I actually have a national reputation as a literary editor. Still, I have to admit, it was a bit of a shock to be selected. Karen Craigo | Courtesy Karen Craigo, Gallipolis native and Missouri’s new Poet Laureate, is pictured during a vacation at the Grand Canyon with her husband and sons, from left Michael, Keats and Ernie Czyzniejewski. OH-70161280 GALLIPOLIS — Poetry, like life, is a process. For Gallia County native Karen Craigo, poetry has been a large part of her life for some time but these days, it’s officially her job and it comes with a prestigious title - Missouri Poet Laureate. She was appointed earlier this year by Missouri Governor Michael L. Parson for a two-year term. A press release from the Missouri Arts Council states, “The Missouri Poet Laureate enriches Missourians’ lives throughout the state by fostering the reading and writing of poetry, through public appearances, readings, workshops, and digital and social media. ‘As Poet Laureate,’ Ms. Craigo says, ‘I am making it my mission to bring out the poetry of everyday life in our beautiful state.’” Of course, Craigo’s home state is Ohio and her hometown is Gallipolis. She is a 1987 graduate of Gallia Academy High School, daughter of Elsie Craigo (who still resides in Gallia County) and the late Donald Craigo, Sr. The Gallipolis Daily Tribune asked Karen a few questions about her recent appointment and the mission and meaning of poetry. Here is Craigo’s story, in her own words. I was informed when my application was declared a finalist and forwarded to the governor’s office, so I had an inkling this might happen — that email was the biggest surprise of my life! I had proposed an ambitious project for my two-year term, and when I learned I was to be the new Poet Laureate, my very first thought was that I was going to have to hit the ground running with it. Missouri has 114 counties plus St. Louis, which is an independent city, and my proposal was to collect a poem from each county to feature on a blog. Mind you, poems are easy to find in larger cities, like St. Louis, Kansas City or Springfield, or in university towns like Columbia, home of the University of Missouri. But it’s a taller order in places like the Bootheel, that little spur that sticks down in the southeastern part of the state. Are there poets in Dunklin, Pemiscot or New Madrid Counties in Missouri? I don’t know the answer any better than you do — but I intend to find out. In those places where I can’t find poets, I’ll help to make them, with workshops and other events. Sounds like a lot of work, doesn’t it? Maybe one of my first thoughts was, “What have I gotten myself into?” OH-70161299 Staff Report �Opinion 4A Thursday, November 28, 2019 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Thanksgiving is rapidly disappearing It seems to me that our native-grown holiday known as Thanksgiving is slowly disappearing. Through the early years of our country various spontaneous celebrations of “Thanksgiving” were held in different parts of the nation, but the declarations of these special days all had one theme in common - giving thanks to God. For example, the first President of the United States, George Washington, proclaimed November 26, 1789, “as Bill a day of public thanksgiving and Taylor Contributing prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the columnist many and signal favours (sic) of Almighty God.” Thanksgiving was also officially called for in all states in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln who proclaimed a day of national Thanksgiving on the final Thursday in November, explicitly in celebration of the “bounties” that had continued to bless the country. The holiday was annually proclaimed by every president thereafter, and the date chosen, with few exceptions, was the last Thursday in November. Thanksgiving thus became a national day of exaltation of the unparalleled God-bestowed abundance enjoyed by this country. The celebration of Thanksgiving as a day of “public thanksgiving and prayer” in celebration of the “bounties” that bless this country, however, is slowly disappearing. What comes to mind is the famous Cheshire Cat from Lewis Carol’s “Alice in Wonderland” where the cat disappears gradually until nothing is left but its grin. Yep, Thanksgiving has been gradually disappearing until little is left but the name. You see, it is being subsumed by Christmas. (“Subsumed” is a neat three dollar word that means, “”to include within a larger class, group, order, etc.) In other words, the celebration known as Christmas is enveloping Thanksgiving and effectively replacing this long-standing national holiday and its dedication to “public thanksgiving and prayer” with a multi-month long pitch for Christmas sales. For a number of years Thanksgiving weekend had been the beginning of the Christmas season with the entry of Santa Clause in parades and other festivities - usually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day. As part of this transformation from Thanksgiving festivities to those of Christmas, “Black Friday”, the day following Thanksgiving Day, became widely recognized in the early 2000’s and since 2005 has been acknowledged as the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States. It effectively provided a “jump start” for Christmas shopping. This year, however,we have seen Christmas merchandise being promoted well before Halloween with“Black Friday” sales being extended from October through the entire month of November and up until Christmas Eve. This has resulted in surrounding and diminishing the celebration of what was formerly a day of giving thanks. Oh, sure, we still have a dwindling set of activities reminiscent of the original intent of this historic holiday. Some families still gather to celebrate and give thanks for the blessings they have received. Some communities, religious organizations, and other agencies, offer free Thanksgiving meals to the public - regardless of their economic circumstances - as a way to share the “bountiful goodness” of this country. These activities, however, are overwhelmed by the immense commercialization and secularization of what once was primarily a religious recognition of what George Washington termed, “… the many and signal favours (sic) of Almighty God.” Well, there’s no going back. Thanksgiving will continue to be an increasingly secular four day holiday/weekend celebrated with: football games; “pumpkin tosses”; parades featuring huge fantastic balloon characters, marching bands, and “celebrities”; and, above all else, “monster” sales of all sorts of merchandise and services - “just in time for the holidays.” Kinda makes a body wonder what those who came before us would think about what Thanksgiving Day - the spontaneous and heartfelt celebration of thankfulness for what this country provides - has become. Wouldn’t be surprised if it were something like, “Why bother designating a day of thanksgiving? After all, hardly anyone appears to be doing anything remotely associated with giving thanks.” Yep, Thanksgiving Day is slowly disappearing - just like the Cheshire Cat - until there’s nothing left but the name. At least that’s how it seems to me. Bill Taylor is a regular contributing columnist and area resident of Greene County, Ohio. This column shared through the AIM Media Midwest group of newspapers. THEIR VIEW Years of Thanksgiving memories Over past Thanksgivings, I have read of some families who have been getting together for their annual Thanksgiving dinner for their 80th or 90th year. When I first saw those numbers, I thought they must have dozens and dozens of cousins who throng together to carve up several large turkeys and gobble down lots of pumpkin pies. However, now that my family can claim to be having our 95th Thanksgiving together, I don’t think it is unusual at all. Since my parents got married in March of 1924, that’s when they had their first Thanksgiving dinner together. By the next year of 1925, they had their 5-monthold daughter with them and had their second Thanksgiving dinner as well. As their other children came along, they continued their annual dinners. I can remember very well being at a Thanksgiving dinner in 1949 when we all went to the home of my one of my dad’s brothers, and had dinner with them. I dishes for me that remember walking day.

Small businesses keep money close to home, supporting their communities and its initiatives. Our small businesses are places for people to gather, learn, and grow. Gallia has been a thriving, small business hub. Multiple new businesses have been created from shared thoughts, values and locations, from one entrepreneur to another. Businesses have and will continue to achieve success because they work together and support each other, rather than trying to be exclusive in what they provide.” In addition to Small Business Saturday, shoppers in Pomeroy will be able to enjoy some extra shopping time at many businesses on Sunday, Dec. 1 as part of the Pomeroy Christmas parade and activities.

The undercount of young children has increased over time, from 1.8 percent in 1980 to 4.6 percent in 2010. So why should we be alarmed at the potential undercount of children in 2020? Census data plays a vital role in determining funding levels for countless federal programs that create the foundation of public health in the United States. If children are undercounted in the census, then federal support for programs like Medicaid; Head Start; Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); foster care; and grants to local education agencies could fall short of on-the-ground need in states. These programs address essential social factors that shape children’s health; funding cuts mean they won’t be able to reach all of the children and families who rely on them. In public health, accurate population data is the foundation of every informed decision we make. We use it to examine disease prevalence, how disease trends are changing over time, and whether public health interventions are working. Epidemiologists use census data for everything from monitoring asthma hospitalization disparities to understanding populations affected by natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy. If the 2020 census doesn’t capture accurate population counts for children, it will become much more difficult to monitor children’s health trends in the coming decade. Furthermore, the data gathered by the US Census is important for advancing health equity. It reports on social determinants of health (or a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity). Contributing factors that describe social determinants of health include: income and social status; social support networks; education and literacy; social environments; physical environments; health services; personal health practices and coping skills; healthy child development; biology and genetic endowment; culture; gender. Children uncounted by the census won’t get our help if we don’t know that they are there. And if they’re not counted, they’ll have a harder time accessing the very services that can help kids surmount early disadvantages. Health inequity (or a state where all persons, regardless of race, income, creed, sexual orientation, gender identification, age or gender are able to be as healthy as they can – to reach their full “health potential”) is at the heart of why we need to take seriously the consequences of a possible undercount of children. Representation in the census is a right of everyone living in the U.S.; if we’re to achieve equitable health outcomes for children in this country, that right must be fulfilled for every child in 2020.

Writing makes you a writer. How do you describe your poetry to people? I write contemporary free-verse poetry, mainly — you won’t find a lot of rhyme and meter in my work, though I go that direction from time to time. And I write about three things, mainly: motherhood, the spirit and money. I’ll bet the last item on that list sounds funny! But no one was really writing about that struggle to pay the gas bill or scrape together quarters for a gallon of milk. I decided that such a major part of my life was going to be fair game for poetry. If I live it, I have every right to make it lyrical. Robert F.

Russo AP College Football Writer Jay LaPrete | AP Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, right, looks for an open receiver as Penn State defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos chases him during Saturday’s game in Columbus, Ohio. The Buckeyes have jumped to No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, dropping LSU to No. 2. Ohio State jumped LSU to No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings with two weeks left to go before selection Sunday. LSU slipped to second Tuesday night and Clemson remained third while Georgia held on at four. If playoff history holds form, three of those top four teams will reach the semifinals. Alabama remained No. 5 in the selection committee’s third rankings, with Utah moving up a spot to No. 6. The Utes are the only Pac-12 team in the top 10 after Oregon dropped eight spots to 14th. Oklahoma is seventh fol- lowed by Minnesota, Baylor and Penn State. In each of the first five years of the playoff, three of the top four teams in the rankings heading into rivalry weekend reached the semifinals, including the No. 1 team every time. Now that spot belongs to Ohio State, which committee chairman Ron Mullens has continual referred to as a complete team. “Competing consistently and really highly ranked on offense and defense. Performing at a high level on both,” committee chairman Rob Mullens said of Ohio State, which currently leads the nation in scoring and points allowed. The Buckeyes beat Penn State last week 28-17, its third victory of the season against team currently ranked along with No. 12 Wisconsin and No. 18 Cincinnati. LSU has beaten No. 5 Alabama, No. 11 Florida and No. 15 Auburn. Memphis is 17th, remaining the highest ranked team from the Group of Five conferences. The highest ranked conference champion from outside the Power Five is guaranteed a spot in the New Year’s Six bowls. This year that would be the Cotton Bowl. Memphis and Cincinnati play this week and could meet the next week in the American Athletic Conference championship game. Boise State from the Mountain West is 20th. See CFP | 2B Focusing on this week key, Day says By Jim Naveau jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ryan Day knows he has a tough act to follow when he leads Ohio State into Michigan Stadium for the first time as OSU’s head football coach. He talked about the pressure of maintaining the standard that has been set by Urban Meyer coaching Ohio State to seven wins over Michigan in his seven seasons as OSU’s coach and Ohio State winning 16 of the last 18 games against its biggest rival during his weekly press conference on Tuesday. “I’m trying to do the best I can to make it like every week, although we all know it’s not. We might do a little extra here and there to make sure we’re covering every single scenario we can, making sure we’re letting the guys have a great plan,” Day said. “But if you start to overdo things, then you can get yourself jammed up. That’s why all the work gets done ahead of time, that’s why we live it 365. When you get here during the week, you don’t have to all of a sudden come up with an unbelievable speech on the Tuesday. “I call it focus. I think when you look at someone’s eyes, you can tell if they’re focused or not. Based on how well you prepare, the more confidence you have. I look at it like if you’re taking a test, you know the answers to the test, you’re focused, but not you’re nervous. You’re locked in, know you’re going to do well, you have all the answers to the test. If you don’t know all the answers to the test, you start getting nervous, anxious. “As long as our focus is right, we understand that. I’ll be shocked if it isn’t, and we prepare the best way, that gives us our best chance to be successful,” he said. “I just know we’re focused on this game. I mean, a lot of people do a lot of what if scenarios and everything. I know that this game means everything to us. Nothing matters if we don’t win the game. That’s the only way I look at it. We’ve got to win the game.” Ohio State is 11-0 overall and 8-0 in the Big Ten. Michigan is 9-2 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten. OSU has already clinched the East Division of the Big Ten and will play the West Division winner Dec. 7 in Indianpolis. NOTES: FIELDS READY TO GO: Quarterback Justin Fields will be ready to play on Saturday after throwing a huge scare into Ohio State fans by lying on the field for two or three minutes after being sacked late in last week’s 28-17 win over Penn State. “Any time you see your starting quarterback on the ground, it’s not a good feeling. He was able to shake it off, run off the field. We expect him to be fine,” Day said. “When we play in big games like that, we certainly rely on him to run some.

While the Sooners are already locked into playing for their fifth consecutive Big 12 title the following Saturday, they have to win their Bedlam rivalry game if they are going to have any chance to make the College Football Playoff for the fourth time in five years. The Sooners are 15-1 when both teams are ranked for Bedlam. Oklahoma State has a four-game winning streak, but is without Day From page 1B extending plays. Penn State kind of forced him to run the ball a little bit. He did a great job. Other than the two turnovers, I thought he was unbelievable. We’ll continue to do that when we think it’s appropriate.” THREE FUMBLES ‘INEXCUSABLE’: Day obviously was not happy with the three fumbles Ohio State lost in its win over Penn State, two by Fields and one by J.K. Dobbins. “It’s completely inexcusable. That’s how you ruin a whole season, right there. I think we were a little careless. I think a couple of them were really good (defensive) plays. The one by Justin at the goal line, the guy is pretty tight. The guy puts his helmet right on the ball. Not an excuse. It wasn’t being careless, but not good enough. We score right there, the game could be completely different,” he said. quarterback Spencer Sanders (thumb surgery) and receiver Tylan Wallace (torn ACL). This game features the Big 12’s top two rushers — Oklahoma State sophomore Chuba Hubbard (166.5 yards per game, 20 TDs) and Oklahoma dual-threat quarterback Jalen Hurts (105.1 yards per game, 17 TDs), who is also the league’s most efficient passer with 3,184 yards passing, 30 TDs and six interceptions. instate rival Kansas, with consecutive losses by a combined seven points before a 30-27 win at Texas Tech last week.

Were they good plays or not? I don’t know. All I know is they can’t give up the ball. We give someone the football, we put the whole team’s trust in their hands, the future in their hands. They know that. “We talked about it. We’re going to get it fixed,” Day said. WHEN TO USE COOPER: Defensive end Jonathon Cooper, who last week announced his intention to redshirt and come back to play the 2020 season, still can play one game this season under NCAA rules which allow a player to play four games and still count it as a redshirt season. Day indicated Cooper will play at some point this season but did not say whether it would be this week, next week in the Big Ten championship game or in a College Football Playoff game if OSU is one of the four teams in that event. “A lot of things come into play. The depth of our D-line. His overall health, if he’s exactly at 100%. What the game plan is. It’s good to know we have a game we can use him in if it fits,” Day said. “Certainly he’s going to play in another game this year, we just don’t know exactly which one yet.” HASKINS’ FIRST BIG MOMENT: It all turned out well in the end but from his seat in the Ohio State coaches booth in the press box at Michigan Stadium, Day wasn’t sure what was going to happen when Dwayne Haskins had to replace an injured J.T. Barrett at quarterback two years ago in the last time the Buckeyes played in Michigan Stadium. Michigan led 20-14 with six minutes left in the third quarter when Barrett was forced out of the game by a knee injury that happened before the game while he was warming up on the sideline. Haskins eventually led three THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 6 PM 6:30 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28 7 PM 7:30 NBC Nightly Wheel of Jeopardy! News (N) Fortune (N) (N) Jeopardy!

But before those three drives, Day was thinking about what happened with Haskins at quarterback a week earlier against Illinois. “The week before we played Illinois at home in the pouring rain. Dwayne came into the game and fumbled on like the second snap. They returned it for a touchdown. We had to put J.T. and the starters back in the game, which was a complete nightmare. That’s my last memory of how Dwayne was doing on the field. Now we are in the rivalry game, trying to win the game,” Day said. The turning point in Haskins’ day at Michigan was a 27-yard completion to Austin Mack on a third down, 13 yards to go situation. “That was probably Dwayne’s moment to say ‘I’m here now.’ Up until that moment, I wasn’t really sure how it was going to go down,” Day said. 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 Football Night /(:15) NFL Football New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons Site: MercedesBenz Stadium -- Atlanta, Ga.

(:10) Down the stretch they come There are some signs that the stretch run this season could be more volatile than in past playoff years. First off, three times in the previous five years one of the teams that was ranked in the top four heading into rivalry weekend and made the playoff only played one more game. In 2015, Oklahoma reached the CFP as the Big 12 champion, but the conference had no title game so the Sooners were able to kick back with their 11-1 record after beating rival Oklahoma State. The Sooners did slip from third to fourth in the final rankings. In 2016, Ohio State was shut out of the Big Ten championship game because of a loss to Penn State, but the committee liked the Buckeyes 11-1 record with three victories against top-10 teams. They made the field, but also dropped a spot from second to third. Last year Notre Dame, a football independent, was No. 3 when it wrapped up its perfect regular season on rivalry weekend and stayed that way on selection Sunday. In 2017, Alabama lost on rivalry weekend to Auburn as No. 1 in the CFP rankings. That eliminated the 11-1 Tide from the SEC championship game and dropped it to No. 5 in the secondto-last CFP rankings. Alabama moved back to four after sitting out championship weekend when No. 4 and unbeaten Wisconsin lost the Big Ten championship game to an Ohio State team with two losses. This season, all the teams in the top four have two more games left, including an SEC championship game that will match LSU and Georgia. The Tigers also face Texas A&M this weekend and the Bulldogs face rival Georgia Tech Ohio State has two more ranked foes to face before selection Sunday in No. 13 Michigan in Saturday and either Wisconsin or Minnesota in the Big Ten championship. Clemson has the smoothest path to the playoff with struggling South Carolina this week and an ACC championship game against either No. 24 Virginia Tech or Virginia. Heading down the stretch there are nine teams with a realistic chance of making the playoff. The top four simply need to win out. In fact, undefeated LSU and Ohio State might even have some leeway to lose one of their final two. Unbeaten Clemson might not get that kind of slack, but you could argue if Georgia can make the playoff with a loss to South Carolina and a conference championship, why can’t the Tigers? The other contenders and what they need to happen over the next two weeks: Alabama — Beat the stuffing out of Auburn on the road with backup quarterback Mac Jones. — LSU wins out. — Hope having the best loss outweighs a light resume and no conference title. — Some cannibalization in the Big 12 and Pac-12 over the next two weeks would also help — a lot. Utah — Win out in impressive fashion. — LSU and Ohio State win out and eliminate other contenders in their conferences. — Hope the Pac-12 title gives it an edge over a Tua-less Alabama. — Hope a pile of blow-out victories is more impressive to the committee than the close calls the Big 12 champion will have. Oklahoma and Baylor — Similar to Utah in that either potential Big 12 champ could use the SEC and Big Ten favorites to take care of business. — A slip up by Utah (or Alabama) could come in handy. Minnesota — The Gophers probably just need to win out and slap down a resume in front of the committee that includes a Big Ten championship with victories against Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State. — It probably wouldn’t hurt if LSU cleared out Georgia, too. There is a two Big Ten-team playoff in play here with Ohio State. Among the teams that have already lost twice, Wisconsin is the best long shot if it can beat Minnesota and avenge an earlier loss to the Buckeyes in the Big Ten title game.

(AP) — The NCAA rejected an appeal by the University of Missouri to limit or overturn sanctions for infractions tied to the case of a former tutor Tuesday, angering school officials and leaving in place postseason bans in three high-profile sports along with other restrictions. The school had filed a 64-page brief to the NCAA’s appeals committee in March, arguing that the penalties handed down Jan. 31 were contrary to precedent, not supported or appropriate given the nature of the allegations and could have a chilling effect on future NCAA enforcement. The five-member NCAA infractions appeals committee rejected those assertions, and said in its decision Tuesday that it was “hesitant to overturn a penalty within the appropriate penalty guidelines unless there is a clear indication of arbitrary decision-making.” “Last night when we received the decision, obviously very disappointed and then shock set in. Now I’m just angry,” athletic director Jim Sterk said at the Sprint Center, where the Missouri men’s basketball team was playing in the consolation game of the Hall of Fame Classic. “I’m angry because of our student-athletes and coaches who were wrongly affected by this decision.” The Tigers’ basketball programs were not involved in the case. “The NCAA has proven once again,” Sterk said, “that they cannot affectively serve its members and student-athletes they’re supposed to protect. The decision today is just wrong.” The case in question dates to 2016, when tutor Yolanda Kumar acknowledged she had violated NCAA rules by doing course work and ensuring athletes in football, baseball and softball passed certain courses. The school immediately launched an investigation and self-imposed many penalties, hoping its proactive approach would curry favor when the NCAA rendered its punishment. The Tigers were instead hit with postseason bans and scholarship and recruiting restrictions in each sport while the entire athletic department was placed on probation. “Today’s decision was disappointing and appalling, to have this type of conclusion to the process,” Missouri chancellor Alexander Cartwright said. “This decision has made that difficult for us to determine what should be done when there is a compliance case.” School officials even disseminated a spreadsheet comparing sanctions handed down to Mississippi State in August following a similar case. The Bulldogs’ football program was hit with far less severe scholarship and recruiting restrictions and no postseason ban. “No one can look at the Missouri case and the Mississippi state cases, which have almost identical violations, and see that common sense was used,” Sterk said. “There was no logic in today’s decision.” The Tigers would have qualified for a bowl game by beating Arkansas on Friday, and the school estimated that its share of lost conference bowl revenue would be about $10 million. “I hate the news for our program and for our seniors who have represented the university in a very positive way,” football coach Barry Odom said. “This decision negatively impacts their short experience in life as college student-athletes who had nothing to do with this situation. It’s a tough lesson to be dealt, but they will learn from this and motivationally use it later in life.” Missouri said about 180 student-athletes across the three sports were ultimately punished by the postseason ban, even though they had nothing to do with the case. Many were still in high school when Kumar did course work for 12 players in the football, baseball and softball programs. “I am absolutely heartbroken and disappointed by the committee’s decision,” softball coach Larissa Anderson said. “The NCAA claims to value the student-athlete experience, but this decision continues to cause unnecessary harm to a group of innocent student-athletes.” The penalties could have long-term ramifications for Missouri, too. The school has struggled for both success and relevance in its highestprofile sports since it left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference, and now the Tigers now must deal with recruiting and scholarship reductions that put them at an additional competitive disadvantage. “I think there’s a lot of talk and a lot disgruntled people. Where we go from here, I don’t know,” Sterk said. “There needs to be reform in the NCAA system to gain back some credibility. The credibility every day, every week, keeps eroding on this case.” U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, a longtime Tigers fan who blasted the initial penalties, issued a statement Tuesday in which he said “the NCAA made the absolute wrong decision here.” “The facts in this case clearly do not support these unfair, unwarranted sanctions,” Blunt said. “The University of Missouri did the right thing by self-reporting the actions of the tutor and a small number of players. The NCAA is punishing current players for actions that occurred years ago.” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, who was kept apprised of the case during the initial investigation and when Missouri filed its appeal, said there must be a balance between accountability and reprimand. “It is regrettable that so many innocent current Missouri student-athletes across three sports will miss postseason opportunities due to actions for which they were not responsible,” he said. “While it is important to hold accountable those individuals who engage in unethical behavior and conduct that fails to meet our expectations for integrity in college athletics, it is also important to fully consider the nuances and unique set of circumstances present in each case.” O’Hurley relishes annual Thanksgiving dog show’s popularity “Well, I’ve had a dog ever since I was 4 years old in my lap,” said O’Hurley, as he sat next to Dyson, a Shetland sheepdog on the cusp of two who is training to be a therapy dog. “I always said I’m a better person with a dog in my lap; dogs have a tendency to round out the edges in our lives.” O’Hurley is joined by Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, the figure skating commentary duo known for their dose of camp, and sports commentator Mary Carillo. David Frei, who is a licensed judge for the American Kennel Club, serves as the analyst. “(There’s) enough money that the team has grown. Well, you know, we want to create more of an entertainment spectacle around a dog show. It’s not just (the) Westminster (Kennel Club Dog Show), which is very kind of sober. And, you know, it’s a very we want to create the feeling of, ‘It’s fun.’ And dogs are fun. They round out the edges in our lives and they’re the greatest companions we have.” To give it more of a sports feel, handlers are sometimes mic’d, like pro sport players and coaches, so viewers can hear what’s going on on the floor and behind the stage. “It’s so much fun what’s going on, how they’re actually talking to the dog backstage and the things that they’re saying because the communication between the handler and the dog is irreplaceable,” he said. “I mean, ultimately, the handler must look invisible.” There are also kid handlers, which O’Hurley says shows that dog competitions are “truly a family sport. And it’s a wonderful way of growing up in the world of a sense of discipline, of a sense of presentation, a sense of confidence. It does so many wonderful things for young people that we love to see young people come into this entire world of dog shows.” Y A D I R F K C A L B ! T N E V E S E L A S OH-70161262 NEW YORK (AP) — Television traditions on Thanksgiving have usually involved the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and then hours of football, but in recent years, another has emerged: The National Dog Show. Hosted by actor John O’Hurley, the annual parade of pooches has become one of the most popular shows of Thanksgiving week. But according to O’Hurley, it almost didn’t make its way to the small screen. As O’Hurley tells it, the then-head of NBC Sports was enamored with the dog show parody classic “Best in Show” and came up with the idea to do a real show to fill the gap between the parade and football. “They have all laughed him out of the office. But by the end of the day, he had the National Dog Show license from the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, Purina had come on as a presenting sponsor,” O’ Hurley recalled. “He called me and I was in L.A. I picked up the phone and I said, ‘Hello.’ And he said, ‘Woof, Woof.’ And that’s how it all started 18 years ago.” For O’Hurley, best known for his time on “Seinfeld,” it was a natural fit. only $99!!!! “Let us help you with that hard to buy for person” We do custom engraving on just about everything!
