Mayor approaches
commissioner about
grant application
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — Middleport Mayor Fred Hoffman spoke with the Meigs County Commissioners
during their recent meeting, discussing a possible
Neighborhood Revitalization Grant for the village.
Hoffman, who was accompanied by Building
Inspector Mike Hendrickson and Village Administrator Joe Woodall, presented information to
the commissioners regarding projects the village
would look to take on if awarded the funding.
The Mayor explained that they would like to
do work on sidewalks in the village, paving on
residential streets, work on the water tank and
improvements at the park, possibly a skate board
area where the batting cages used to be located.
He added that they would like to work with The
Blakeslee Center (Council on Aging) and the
Meigs Historical Society and Museum to possibly
include work at their buildings in the grant. Other
projects could include demolition of houses, ﬁre
department needs and work on the village parking
lot and roof.
Meigs County is eligible to submit one application for the Neighborhood Revitalization Grant
every two years. The commissioners stated they
have also received a letter from Racine expressing interest in applying for the program this year.
Racine’s previous application was submitted in
2018 but did not receive funding.
There are income guidelines which must be met
by the village or township applying for the funding, including an LMI (low to moderate income)

Bill would ban abortion
in Ohio if Roe overturned
A state lawmaker has proposed legislation that
would ban abortion in Ohio if the Supreme Court
overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
The bill introduced this week would ban all
abortions in the state except those to save a
woman’s life or prevent substantial and irreversible harm.
“If and when the Supreme Court decides to
return the issue of abortion back to the states, we
want to be prepared for what comes next,” said
sponsoring Rep. John Becker, a Republican from
Clermont County in southwest Ohio.
Eight states have similar laws that would take
effect after a U.S. Supreme Court decision while
several other states have pre-existing bans that
also would go into effect, The Cincinnati Enquirer
reported.
Becker’s bill, backed by Ohio Right to Life, is similar to legislation introduced in November by state
Rep. Candice Keller, a Middletown Republican.

missioner Jimmy Will
said that the board will be
formed following the election, as it is to include
two commissioners, the
treasurer, a representative
from the largest village
and one additional person.
County resident Adam
Will asked the board for
clariﬁcation on a statement in the resolution
passed during the previous meeting regarding
“illegal MOUs” mentioned in the quarterly
spending plan resolution
for the sheriff’s ofﬁce.
Commissioner Randy
Smith stated that it
deals with the MOUs

not being presented to
the commissioners and
that all contracts must
be approved by the commissioners. The MOUs,
Smith said, were discovered when looking into
a deputy who resides
out of county driving his
cruiser home.
The commissioners
tabled action regarding
the appointment of individuals to the Buckeye
Hills Regional Council
executive committee.
Currently Commissioner
Tim Ihle is on the committee, with Commissioner Will as an alternate
and Brian Howard is a
private sector member.

One additional private
sector appointee is
needed.
Discussion took place
on two abandoned properties which had been
serviced by the Meigs
County Sewer and Water
District. The commissioners took action to stop
service on the properties
and to place assessments
on the property taxes for
the back balances due.
The commissioners

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“Tomorrow is a thief of pleasure.”
— Sir Rex Harrison,
British actor (1908-1990)

Salt is one of the basic
human requirements
and tastes. The kind and
amount of salt consumed
in a day vary with ﬂavor,
habit, and physical needs.
By the way, the degree of
saltiness that satisﬁes the
taste buds is a learned
behavior.
Salt is a chemical mixture of primarily sodium
chloride. It is essential for
life in general. Its earliest
recorded usefulness dates
back to 6,000 BC.
Sodium and chloride
are vital in transmitting
brain and nerve electrical
impulses. Large amounts
can raise blood pressure.
Individuals vary with the
amount of salt required
daily.
It is also one of the
world’s most valuable
cooking ingredients.
Meals would be bland
and tasteless without it.
Salt is also used as a food
preservative since bacteria grow poorly in a salty
environment.

Different types of

Choosing one type of salt
over another is unlikely to
signiﬁcantly affect your
health.
The western diet uses
salt for preservation and
as a ﬂavor enhancer. Most
of the sodium consumed
is from processed foods.
If you mainly eat whole,
unprocessed foods then
there is less commercial
sodium in your foods. Feel
free to shake a little.
A popular food critic,
Jay Rayner, reminds us
that, “Salt is the difference between eating in
Technicolor and eating
in black and white. If a
spoonful of sugar helps
the medicine go down
than a pinch of salt turns
up the music to dance.”

Spring clean your garden
As we walk around the
yard on some of our nicer
days, we walked by some
of our ﬂower beds where
the snow had ﬁnally
melted. It is amazing
how many leaves, trash,
and left over plant material that the melted snow
leaves behind. It doesn’t
matter how well you clean
up in the fall, the passing
of winter leaves more to
tidy up.
Obviously, spring
cleaning will make your
yard look more neat and
tidy but there are other
reasons to complete
this task. The leaves
provide a place for bugs
to hide. They also hold
moisture around the
stems of shrubs or on
perennials and this can
cause rotting issues. The
dead parts of perennials should be cut back
for the same reasons.
They can also host diseases that may infect this
year’s new growth. Last
year’s spent perennials
should be cut back all
the way to the ground.

OhioHealth O’Bleness
launches new medical
record system
Submitted

ATHENS, Ohio —
OhioHealth O’Bleness
Hospital has launched
a new medical record
system that improves
the way doctors manage care and the way
patients access their
health information,
according to a press
released from OhioHealth:
CareConnect went live
at OhioHealth O’Bleness
Hospital and OhioHealth Physician Group
Heritage College on Feb.
23. More than 900 local
OhioHealth associates
trained on CareConnect,
and another 250 OhioHealth associates have
been diligently working
behind the scenes to prepare for Go Live.
Going live with
CareConnect means that
each OhioHealth patient
will have a single medical record. The system
allows providers to track
all the tests, lab work,
and diagnoses a patient
receives, from every
hospital department and
medical clinic, and from
every hospital in the
OhioHealth system.
CareConnect is
powered by Epic, the
national leader in hospital electronic medical
records. Because this
medical record system is
so widely used by other
hospitals in central Ohio
and throughout the
country — more than
200 million patients currently have an electronic
record in Epic — physicians may also view
their patients’ medical
records from other hospitals that also use the
system.
Mark Seckinger,
president of OhioHealth
O’Bleness Hospital, says
that the hospital’s $11
million dollar investment in CareConnect
means better patient
care.
“It’s a major investment for O’Bleness that
will have a huge impact
on how our patients
experience their healthcare,” said Seckinger.
“CareConnect allows
providers to share
information seamlessly
across the OhioHealth
system and beyond.”
According to J. Todd
Weihl, DO, vice president of medical affairs
for O’Bleness, the system keeps healthcare
providers on the same
page.
“Providers will have
the ability to see all the
types of care that has
occurred with a patient
in real time,” said Weihl.
“That level of interactivity improves handoffs
between physicians. It
makes care higher quality, safer, more affordable
and more efﬁcient.”
“For example, if a
patient has studies done
at another Epic-supported medical facility, our

“From a patient
perspective, it’s a
wonderful tool. The
more that a patient
understands their
chronic disease or
understands what’s
going on, the more
likely they are to be
engaged in their own
wellness.”
— J. Todd Weihl,
Vice president of medical
affairs for O’Bleness

doctors here will be able
to access those records
without going through
a laborious process of
requesting records and
having them mailed or
faxed over,” Weihl said.
“It saves precious time,
plus a complete record
provides a better picture. That’s really a key
point for continuity of
care.”
Personalized online access
Lorinda Retterer, an
application systems consultant for OhioHealth,
says patients, too, can use
the system, with a feature
called MyChart.
OhioHealth MyChart
is a free, simple, secure
and convenient way
for patients to manage their healthcare.
MyChart, which can be
accessed online or via the
OhioHealth app, offers
patients personalized
online access to portions
of their medical records.
MyChart also allows
patients to message
their care team, schedule
appointments, pay bills,
see test results and reﬁll
medications.
“You know when you
have a new message from
your doctor,” said Retterer. “You know when
you have a new test
result. You can go in and
renew your prescriptions.
You don’t have to call the
ofﬁce, and you can do it
when it’s convenient for
you.”
In addition to patients
accessing their own
medical record, another
advantage of MyChart
is for caregivers. Access
can be given for family
members who are active
in the patient’s medical
care and would like to
communicate with that
family member’s providers. Examples could be
a parent or guardian of a
minor or a family member/caregiver of an adult
(with their consent).
Weihl says the new system means good news for
your health.
“From a patient perspective, it’s a wonderful
tool,” said Weihl. “The
more that a patient
understands their chronic
disease or understands
what’s going on, the
more likely they are to
be engaged in their own
wellness.”

Eastman family celebrates 40 years
Submitted

“Four decades can
pass by quickly” were
the ﬁrst words in a
recent visit with the
Eastmans, at one of
their Piggly Wiggly locations, as they begin to
celebrate the 40th anniversary of their familyowned business.
The stores, for a long
time operated under
the banner of Foodland,
until ﬁve years ago,
when they became Piggly Wiggly (the store’s
name changed in 2015,
but remained as a part
of the Eastman family,
owners of Ohio Valley
Supermarkets, which
operates Piggly Wiggly
locations in Gallipolis,

Point Pleasant, Oak Hill,
and Wellston, along with
four Save A Lot stores
in southern Ohio, and
a local hardware store,
Bidwell Hardware).
The ﬁrst Eastman’s
Foodland store, opened
on March 2, 1980 as
“Ohio Valley Foodland”
on Jackson Pike, Gallipolis, now known as
Eastman’s Piggly Wiggly.
Long-time supermarket
administrator, Bob Eastman, and his wife, Sheila, started the business,
which would soon grow
to several supermarkets
throughout the region.
Their sons, Brent and
Kevin, were involved
from the beginning, and
lead the company today.
In giving some per-

spective, that ﬁrst store
opened just nine days
after the USA Men’s
Hockey Team’s “Miracle
On Ice” win in the Olympics.
Company President
Brent Eastman, still in
high school when Ohio
Valley Foodland opened
, reminds us : “Virtually all supermarkets
throughout the nation,
took only cash or check
at that time. Supermarkets didn’t take credit
cards back then, and the
debit card, wouldn’t be
in widespread use, until
the late 90’s.”
So, how about the
supermarket business, in
the year 2020?
“Our goal, has always
been to maintain the

great parts of our business from the past, while
merging that with consumer’s needs of today,”
said Kevin Eastman, vicepresident of the stores.
He’s right. Today’s
consumer, would prefer
a cashier, and someone
to bag their groceries,
along with the conveniences of digital coupons, ads via print or
email, and quick service.
A ﬁnal word from
Brent - “Look for some
of the best savings ever,
as we celebrate 40 years
of serving the area.”
What else would he
say? After all, the man
who says his age is “not
yet 60” has been around
the supermarket business, since he was born.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — At some point,
regardless of if Fay Wray was in tow, King Kong
was bound to leave the Empire State Building.
On Tuesday night, the gorilla that had been
ensconced on the collective backs of the University of Rio Grande baseball team since day one
of the 2020 season ﬁnally decided to move on.
The RedStorm snapped an 18-game seasonopening losing slide by sweeping a non-conference doubleheader from Ohio UniversityChillicothe, 22-1 and 11-3, at a windswept VA
Memorial Stadium.
The wins ended the worst start to a season in
program history.
The losses were the ﬁrst games played by the
Hilltoppers this season.
Game one saw Rio Grande send 13 batters to
the plate in an eight-run ﬁrst inning before 17
batters reached the dish in an 11-run second
inning follow-up.
The RedStorm shredded four OU-Chilli pitchers for a season-high 20 hits, while also drawing
nine walks and having ﬁve batters reach after
being hit by a pitch.
Freshman Carter Smith (Point Pleasant,
WV) ﬁnished 3-for-3 with ﬁve runs batted in,
while senior Caden Cluxton (Washington Court
House, OH) also had three hits — including two
doubles — and four RBI.
Sophomore Cole Dyer (Wheelersburg, OH)
went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs in the winning effort, while freshmen Albert Bobadilla
(Bronx, NY) and Josh Wolfe (Hillsboro, OH)
both had two hits and a run batted in and senior
Isaiah Lewis (Willingboro, NJ) added a double
and three RBI.
Junior Caleb Fetzer (Van Wert, OH) — the
ﬁrst of four Rio Grande pitchers — earned the
win by tossing two innings of one-hit shutout
ball and striking out four.
OU-Chillicothe avoided a shutout in its ﬁnal
at bat thanks to an RBI single by Andrew Mershon.
Gunner Free, the ﬁrst of four hurlers for the
Hilltoppers, took the loss. He allowed six hits,
four walks and eight runs — all earned — in his
one inning of work.
In game two, Rio Grande raced to an 8-2 lead
after three innings and was never headed.
Freshman Austin Kendall (Troy, OH) and
senior Juan Familia (Reading, PA) were the
RedStorm’s heavy hitters in the victory. Both
ﬁnished 3-for-3 and drove in a run.
Lewis went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI,
while sophomore Peyton Overturf (West Frankfort, IL) also had two hits and Dyer drove in
two runs.
Freshman southpaw John Steward (Fort

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — First impressions go a long way …
especially when realizing
a lifetime dream.
The Point Pleasant
wrestling team added
six more student-athletes
to its long list of state
champions on Saturday
night at the 73rd annual
WVSSAC Championships
held at Mountain Health
Arena in Cabell County.
The Big Blacks entered
the weekend with 24
champions in school history, which included ﬁve
different occasions of
winning a school record
three individual titles at
the same meet.
The Red and Black,
however, had nine different opportunities on
‘Championship Saturday’
to re-write the record
books … the Big Blacks
proved to be more than
up for the challenge.
After dropping a controversial decision in the
opening 126-pound match
that night, the Big Blacks
reeled off three consecutive victories at 132, 138
and 145 pounds before suffering two more setbacks
at 152 and 160 pounds —
knotting their record up at
3-3 overall with three title
matches remaining.
Senior Juan Marquez
ultimately broke the
school mark for the number of state champions at
one meet with a thrilling
4-3 decision over Jacob
Williams of Nicholas
County in the 195-pound
ﬁnal.
Point Pleasant went
on to win its ﬁnal two
championship bouts at
106 and 120 pounds, giving PPHS a Class AA-A
record-tying six champions at one meet. Both the
2001 Oak Glen and 2017
Independence squads also
churned out a half-dozen
individual champions
during their respective
state title runs in those
postseasons.
The Big Blacks ultimately had 6-of-8 non-titlewinning competitors fall in
the championship bracket
to eventual state champions, but the night ended
up being all about the halfdozen grapplers left standing atop the podium.

evening Point’s record to
3-3 with three matches
to go.
Marquez — a 4-time
state qualiﬁer — was
arguably the most unexpected of Point’s champions Saturday night, as
the senior had only ﬁve
wins at the state level in
his career and was never
a podium ﬁnisher before
this past weekend.
And, as fate would
have it, Marquez ended
up being the grappler
that set the new school
record for numbers of
champions at the same
tournament.
After a scoreless ﬁrst
period, Marquez started
the second period in the
down position — but
managed a reversal that
provided a 2-0 lead.
Jacob Williams of Nicholas County, however,
managed to escape and
cut his deﬁcit down to
2-1 headed into the third
period.
Marquez doubled his
lead out to 4-1, but Williams countered with
a reversal that again
closed the gap down to
4-3. Shortly afterwards,
Marquez went down
with an ankle injury that
required injury time
with 1:08 remaining.
Hobbled, but determined, Marquez managed to hold on the rest
of the way for a 4-3 win,
allowing him to stand
on the very top of the
podium for the ﬁrst time
in his career.
Marquez — who
ﬁnished the year with a
43-9 overall mark — was
overcome with emotion
following his match, but
the senior couldn’t think
of a better way to ﬁnish
his Point Pleasant wrestling career.
“When I started wrestling in eighth grade, I
never dreamed that I’d
be standing on top of
that podium,” Marquez
said. “I’d never placed in
my high school career,
so to stand up on the
very top of that thing

year with a 49-4 overall
mark — talked about
the feeling of being a
Point Pleasant state
champion in the middle
of everything else that
transpired.
“We’ve done some
unprecedented things
this weekend and this
season, particularly
with the history books
at Point Pleasant,” Henderson said. “It’s a little
bittersweet to know that
we are three points away
from tying the state
record for points at a
double-A tournament,
but outside of that … I
don’t know what else
you could ask for this
weekend? It’s just been
awesome to be a part
of what we’ve done this
weekend.
“This program is a
brotherhood, and being
able to be part of this
with these guys is something I’ll be thankful for
forever. It’s also nice to
join another brotherhood at Point Pleasant in
standing up there on top
of that podium. That was
the best experience of
my life.”
Short completed the
history-making evening
with his second state
title in the 120-pound
weight class — the ﬁnal
match of the evening.
The night did not start
well for Point Pleasant,
but it wasn’t for a lack of
trying.
After a scoreless ﬁrst
period in the 126-pound
match, junior Christopher Smith escaped from
the down position early
in the second period for
a 1-0 lead.
Blake Boyers of East
Fairmont, however,
scored a takedown for a
2-1 lead with time still
left in the second frame.
Smith was working on
a possible reversal near
the end of the period,
but his move came one
second after the clock
expired — making it a
2-1 deﬁcit entering the
third period.
Boyers managed to
escape early in the ﬁnale
for a 3-1 lead, then both
grapplers locked up
while attempting to gain

leverage. Smith worked
Boyers to the edge of the
circle and appeared to
have gained a takedown
that would have tied the
match at three, but no
takedown — or points
for that matter — were
awarded. Boyers ended
up holding on for 3-1
victory.
Smith ﬁnished the
year with a 50-4 record
and had a pinfall win to
go along with two decisions. Smith is a 3-time
state qualiﬁer with
consecutive runner-up
efforts and a third place
ﬁnish his freshman year.
Wilson fell behind 7-2
after one period and was
eventually pinned by
Oak Glen senior Peyton
Hall in the 152-pound
championship bout. Hall,
coincidentally, was a
4-time state champion
and was named the 2020
Class AA Most Outstanding Wrestler.
Wilson — a 3-time
state qualiﬁer — ﬁnished the year 44-12
while wrapping up his
highest ﬁnish on the
podium. Wilson went
3-1 overall with a trio
of decisions in getting
to his ﬁrst state ﬁnal.
Wilson was also fourth a
year ago.
Samson — a 3-time
state qualiﬁer as well —
ﬁnished his ﬁnal season
with a 45-10 overall
mark after placing second in the 160-pound
division following a 4-0
loss to Ben Kee of Herbert Hoover.
Samson — who
placed ﬁfth a year ago
— recorded a 13-2 major
decision and a pair of
decisions en route to a
3-1 mark over the weekend. Samson ended up
one win short of 150 for
his illustrious career.
A story on Point Pleasant’s repeat champions

tonight … that was amazing. I cannot even begin
to describe it in words,
but it was amazing.
“The best part of all
of this is what we have
done this weekend.
We’ve gotten after it this
year in the practices and
in the weight room, making sure that we were all
getting in the work that
we needed to be the best
we could be this weekend. Looks like the work
has paid off, and it’s been
amazing to be a part of
that. It’s been a great
weekend, and it’s a great
way to go out too.”
Marquez’s win — the
last of two decisions to
go along with two pinfall
wins — also started the
second 3-match winning
streak for Point Pleasant on the night, with
junior Parker Henderson
adding No. 5 in the 106pound match against
Geno Casuccio of East
Fairmont.
Henderson — after
waiting patiently for
two years to be part of
the varsity postseason
roster — made the most
of his ﬁrst state appearance by scoring a pinfall
and a pair of 10-2 major
decisions en route to the
championship match.
Henderson, however,
was down 2-0 after each
of the ﬁrst two periods,
but the junior managed
an escape after starting
the third period down —
cutting the deﬁcit in half
at 2-1.
With 47 seconds left
in the ﬁnale, Henderson
managed a takedown
that allowed him his ﬁrst
lead of the night at 3-2.
Henderson, now in the
top spot, kept Casuccio
down on the mat the rest
of the way.
Both grapplers — realizing the outcome was
sealed — watched the
ﬁnal three seconds tick
of the clock simultaneously, and Henderson’s
reaction was one of
being overwhelmed.
After all, he’d just
became a state champion
in his ﬁrst WVSSAC
tournament.
Afterwards, the junior

Culver, McBride lead West Virginia past Iowa State 77-71
including four free throws
in the ﬁnal 16 seconds
to seal the victory. Derek
Culver also scored 17
points for West Virginia
(20-10, 8-9 Big 12), which
won for just the second
time in the past eight
games.
“He’s been like most
freshmen, a little bit up
and down, but he’s had
some huge games,” Huggins said of McBride, his
top scoring non-starter.
“We’ve just got to continue to work with him
and he’s got to continue
to work to get more consistent, but he was very
good today.”

“We competed,”
Cyclones coach Steve
Prohm said. “We just
weren’t able to get over
the hump. We exerted a
lot of energy to get back
in it and give West Virginia credit, they were
on the ropes and they
responded.”
Big picture
West Virginia: The
Mountaineers continued
to lack consistency on
offense — despite shooting 56% in the ﬁrst half
while taking a 44-31
lead. West Virginia went
scoreless for the ﬁrst
5:42 of the second half

and missed six straight
3-point attempts after
making 4 of its ﬁrst 8
from long range.
Iowa State: The
Cyclones saw their threegame home winning streak
against the Mountaineers
snapped. Iowa State fell
to 1-15 this season when
trailing at halftime and
0-18 when shooting a
worse percentage from the
ﬁeld than its opponent.

Virus fears prompt Arnold festival to bar most spectators
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — The annual
Arnold Sports Festival
will close all but one evening of the four-day sporting expo in Columbus
to everyone but athletes
and close family members
because of the threat
posed by the new coronavirus, ofﬁcials announced
Tuesday.
Republican Gov. Mike
DeWine said at a hastily
called Statehouse news
conference that most

events — including a
trade show, health food
fair and amateur competitions — will not be held,
and spectators will not be
permitted except for Saturday night’s professional
bodybuilding and strongman ﬁnals.
“This is a balancing
test,” DeWine said,
explaining the need to
protect public health
while considering the
hard work for participating athletes.

Dr. Mysheika Roberts,
the city’s public health
commissioner, said athletes from ﬁve countries
affected by the virus
— China, Iran, South
Korea, Japan and Italy
— will be excluded.
Those roughly 20 participants are among 20,000
athletes scheduled to
compete.
Former California Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who established the
festival, said by cellphone

during the news conference that he will consider
rescheduling ancillary
events on a later date
once the virus’ threat has
passed.
“We have the biggest
and best health and ﬁtness festival in world, but
we would never choose
making money over people’s health,” he said.
Schwarzenegger called
it a “very sad moment,”
saying this is the ﬁrst
time in festival history

that activities have been
postponed.
DeWine cited hoursold guidance on mass
gatherings from the Centers for Disease Control
to take into account the
capacity of local health
departments to prevent
community spread. He
said about 4,000 people
had already bought tickets to Saturday night’s
event, which DeWine
said only lasts a few
hours and doesn’t have

a lot of congestion. Ofﬁcials considered it not
signiﬁcantly different
from something like a
basketball game.
Columbus Mayor Andy
Ginther said the festival
is the city’s largest single
event. It has a economic
impact of $53 million
each year.
An online petition created Sunday had called
for DeWine to cancel the
event because of the outbreak.

NFL mentors give back to game but also get a lot out of it
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Mark Brunell would
love to see the members
of 2020 class of quarterbacks have a long career
like him. What he doesn’t
want them to do is start
out like he did.
The former Jaguars
star just wrapped up
his ﬁfth season serving
as a mentor at the NFL
scouting combine, where
he and fellow QB alum
Chad Pennington guided
the soon-to-be rookies
through a week of poking, prodding, testing and
interrogation.
“This is the most
important job interview
of their lives and a lot of
them come in with obviously high expectations.
They’re nervous, they’re
overwhelmed, they’re
stressed out because they
realize how many sets of
eyes are on them: GMs,
personnel guys, coaches,”
Brunell said.
“… They’re being evaluated in everything they
do, so they’re trying to
put their best foot forward and we try to help
them.”
These tips are more
about sitting up straight
than reading a Cover-2.

football players — but
how to approach an interview? How to answer a
question?” Brunell said.
This year’s group of 14
combine mentors included Amani Toomer, Steven
Jackson, and Hall of Famers John Randle and Rod
Woodson. All are members of the NFL Legends
Community, launched in
2013 as a way to connect
the game’s greats with

today’s pros and tomorrow’s prospects.
“You can look at these
guys like celebrities, but
it’s celebrities that you
can reach out to,” said
Arkansas defensive lineman McTelvin Agim,
whose mentor was Mike
Rucker. “You can actually reach out to him and
text him and say in this
situation, what would you
have done? If there’s one
thing you could change,

what would it be?
“It’s not just Mike
Rucker. I can talk to John
Randle. I can talk to any
of them.”
Brunell regrets he
didn’t have just these
kinds of tutors when he
came to the combine in
1993 after a so-so career
at the University of Washington.
“I wish I had someone
like me back in 1993, just
somebody to ask ques-

tions of, a veteran guy
who had been through
the process,” Brunell
said. “It would have been
very helpful because I
didn’t know anything, I
got a late invite to the
combine. I was fortunate
to be there. I didn’t play a
lot in college, my sophomore year, a little bit my
senior year. I came into
the combine very raw,
not knowing anything.
So, that would have been
helpful.”
Brunell tells the prospects, “It only takes one
team to fall in love with
you,” and who does
he hold up as a prime
example?
Mark Brunell.
He had just two interviews at the combine in
‘93, with the Browns and
Chiefs, “and I think I got
Kansas City because they
brought some cameras in
there just doing a combine documentary on how
the interviews go.”
He later made an
impression in Green Bay,
which selected him in the
ﬁfth round.
“The only reason I
got drafted is because I
reminded Mike Holmgren
of Steve Young,” Brunell
said. “That was my in. It

NASCAR will hit the
road for its ﬁrst race in
2021, part of a schedule
shakeup that starts at
Daytona International
Speedway.
The track announced
several changes to the
start of the annual racing
season Wednesday. They
include running the exhibition Busch Clash on
the 3.56-mile road course
that winds through the
Daytona inﬁeld and packing seven races as well as
Daytona 500 pole qualifying into a six-day span.
The tweaks eliminate
two traditional “dark
days” at the track during
Speedweeks and should
provide a better fan experience leading into NASCAR’s premier event, the
Daytona 500.
“This has been in the
works with NASCAR
for a while,” track President Chip Wile told The
Associated Press. “We
really want to continue
to evolve. Obviously,
there’s a ton of fan interest around road-course

Contest

racing. We’ve had a road
course here since 1959
and we feel like what better way to showcase the
property and differentiate
that race even more from
the Daytona 500 than
running the road course
under the lights?”
NASCAR teams have
pushed for a shorter season for years, arguing that
the 12-week offseason is
too short given how little
downtime there is during
the racing calendar.
The sanctioning body
is expected to make
signiﬁcant changes to
its 2021 schedule, which
could include more short
tracks, mid-week races
and double-headers.
Overhauling Speedweeks
is the ﬁrst of what’s
expected to be many new
looks ahead.
The week will shape
up like this: the Clash
will run Tuesday night,
Feb. 9, followed the next
day by Daytona 500 pole
qualifying that sets the
front row for “The Great
American Race.” Qualifying races that set the rest
of the ﬁeld, called the
“Duels,” will remain a

only takes one team to
like you.”
He also gathered all of
this year’s QB prospects
and brought up a more
recent example.
“I said a year ago, there
was a kid just happy to be
at the combine, had some
good stats in college, he
was hoping to get drafted
but he knew he was probably a late-round draft
pick in all likelihood.
If he wasn’t drafted, he
was hoping to get on a
team as a free agent. His
expectations were high,
but he came in realistic.
He came in here and he
just relaxed, he was himself, he just did his best,”
Brunell said.
“That was a year ago.
I said, ‘Today, he’s the
starting quarterback for
the Jacksonville Jaguars.’”
“The easy story is Joe
Burrow has a magical
season, wins the Heisman, wins the national
championship, we can see
how that’s going to play
out,” Brunell said. “But
it’s those ﬁfth- and sixround picks, it’s the Tom
Brady stories, it’s the
Gardner Minshew stories,
that I think is the coolest
thing about this whole
process.”

Thursday staple and be
run under the lights for
the eighth consecutive
year.
The Trucks Series
season opener will run
Friday night, as usual,
with the ARCA and
second-tier Xﬁnity Series
openers running as a
double-header Saturday.
Practices, qualifying runs
and Daytona 500 media
day will be sprinkled in
throughout the week.
Pole qualifying, the
Clash and the ARCA race
typically run the weekend before the 500. But
NASCAR is starting the
Daytona 500 a week earlier than normal in 2021.
It will run on Valentine’s
Day, one week after the
Super Bowl.
Since it was unlikely
NASCAR would go headto-head against the Super
Bowl, it seemed like the
obvious choice would be
to cram Speedweeks into
a single week.
“We’re not condensing
the schedule,” Wile said.
“We’re being more efﬁcient. We’ll have the same
number of track activities
and track days. We’re just
doing it consecutively
instead of over two weekends.”
Traditionalists surely
will gripe. After all, some
welcomed the allure of
spending two weeks in
sunny Florida, where
drivers often can be spotted at Disney World, the
beach and other tourist
spots.
“I’d miss it,” driver
Austin Dillon said before
the 500, anticipating
changes. “I like being
down here for this long.
I enjoy this week. I think
it’s a great start to our
season.”
