IN BRIEF

Shelling in Syria rebel enclave
kills 7, including children
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian government on Wednesday shelled the last rebel last enclave in the country’s
northwest, killing at least seven people, including four
children, rescuers and activists reported.
An international humanitarian organization, World
Vision, gave a higher death toll, saying eight people
— four children and four adults — were killed in the
attack, including two staff members from its local
partner agency.
The attack came during a day of heavy rain, and targeted the city of Idlib city and two towns, to the north
and south. A child was killed when a shell landed near
a weekly market in the city of Idlib, according to the
Syrian Civil Defense, a volunteer rescue team also
known as the White Helmets, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor.
The shelling in Idlib and surrounding areas wounded 17, according to Ahmed Sheikho, a spokesman for
the White Helmets.

Israel: Troops kill Palestinian
gunman in West Bank
JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said
Wednesday that troops killed a Palestinian man who
had shot at soldiers near an army checkpoint in the
occupied West Bank.
The military said in a statement that the Palestinian gunman opened ﬁre at a military post south of the
city of Nablus, and troops returned ﬁre. The military
said the gunman was killed.
The army said no troops were wounded.
Israel has seen a series of shootings, stabbings and
car-ramming attacks in recent years, mostly carried
out by lone attackers with no apparent links to armed
groups. Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups
have praised the attacks but have not claimed them.
Palestinian and Israeli rights groups have accused
Israel of using excessive force in some instances, and
of killing some suspected attackers who could have
been apprehended.

Iceberg floats toward South
Georgia, puts wildlife at risk
LONDON (AP) — A giant iceberg the size of the
U.S. state of Delaware is ﬂoating toward the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, raising fears it could
indirectly endanger young wildlife.
The British Antarctic Survey said Wednesday it
is concerned the iceberg may run aground near the
island, preventing land-based marine predators from
reaching food supplies and returning to their offspring.
Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist with the
Antarctic Survey, said it is the time of year when seals
and penguins are tending to pups and chicks. The distance penguin and seal parents have to travel to ﬁnd
food is important.
“If they have to do a big detour, it means they’re not
going to get back to their young in time to prevent
them starving to death in the interim,” he said.
The giant iceberg, named A68, has been ﬂoating
north since it broke off from the Larsen C ice shelf in
July 2017, the Antarctic Survey said.

Scattered protests, but no wide unrest seen
By Ashraf Khalil
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Scattered
protests took place from Washington, D.C., to Washington state
as votes were counted, but there
were no signs of widespread
unrest or violence linked to the
U.S. election.
The outcome of the hardfought contest for the presidency
remained undecided Wednesday,
stirring worries that prolonged
uncertainty could yet spark conﬂict.
But demonstrations overnight
and on Wednesday in cities
including Seattle, Philadelphia,
Washington and New York
remained largely peaceful.
In Washington, more than
1,000 people protesting President Donald Trump converged
on Black Lives Matter Plaza on
Tuesday night, just a block from
the White House, while hundreds
more marched through downtown, sometimes blocking trafﬁc
and setting off ﬁreworks.
Protestors shouted “Whose
streets? Our streets!” and “If we
don’t get no justice, they don’t get
no peace!”
Groups of teenagers danced in
the street as onlookers cheered.
Large banners, including one
reading “Trump lies all the time,”
were unfurled.
At one point, the marchers
stabbed the tires of a parked
police van to ﬂatten them.
In Philadelphia, about 200
protesters representing labor
unions, groups working to combat
climate change and other causes,
rallied near Independence Hall
Wednesday afternoon, saying they
had come to protect democracy.
The protest came shortly before

Matt Slocum | AP

Demonstrators urge that all votes be counted Wednesday outside the Pennsylvania
Convention Center in Philadelphia.

Trump campaign ofﬁcials said
they would ﬁle suit to stop the
counting of votes in Pennsylvania
over what they contended was a
lack of transparency.
“We want Biden to win, but we
want every vote to be counted
no matter what,” said one of the
protesters, Corean Holloway, 69,
of Philadelphia.
Hundreds of people marched
in anti-Trump demonstrations
in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle
on Tuesday night, with several
arrested.
“This is what democracy looks
like,” protesters chanted in Portland, where organizers said the
demonstration would be peaceful and that regardless of the
presidential election result, they
would continue protesting in support of racial justice. The sheriff’s
ofﬁce said some protesters were
openly carrying guns.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown
had put the National Guard on
standby, since Portland has seen
almost nightly protests since the

death of George Floyd under a
Minneapolis police ofﬁcer’s knee
in May.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler
said on Twitter that there would
be “no tolerance for any violence,
intimidation or criminal destruction,” and that people should be
“safe while using their voice to
advocate for their perspective.”
In Seattle, police said they
arrested several people, including
someone who put nails in a road
and another who drove over a
barricade and into a police bike
lane. No one was injured.
Hundreds of businesses in cities across the U.S. boarded up
their doors and windows ahead
of the election, fearing the vote
could lead to the sort of violence
that broke out after Floyd’s death.
“Some people would like to
cause mayhem and trouble,”
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said earlier in the day. She said
she had never seen so many businesses being boarded up: “That
all saddens me.”

right direction. The survey included 3,767 voters and 700 nonvoters
in Ohio, and was conducted for
The Associated Press by NORC at
the University of Chicago.
About half of Ohio voters think
the coronavirus is not at all under
control in this country. The state
is among those experiencing new
increases in cases and deaths.
Secretary of State Frank LaRose
touted Ohio’s response to a variety
of glitches and other incidents on
Election Day as the state set voter
turnout records.
The day began with an issue
when election ofﬁcials in Franklin
County, the state’s most populous,
made the decision to shift to paper
pollbooks system-wide to check-in
voters when ofﬁcials were unable
to fully upload voter data into the
electronic versions. The decision
led to an increase in wait times
for voters but did not appear to
impact the actual vote count,
according to LaRose’s ofﬁce.
Several ﬁrst-time female candidates challenged Republican
incumbents in the U.S. House, but
all fell short.
Republican Rep. Steve Chabot
clinched his 13th term in Congress, defeating ﬁrst-time Democratic candidate Kate Schroder,
a public health professional. She
had been seen by Democrats as
their best shot for ﬁnally ﬂipping
a House seat in the last election
before Census-triggered redistricting. However, Chabot’s strength in
GOP-dominated Warren County
that became part of his district
in the remap helped carry him
through.
Republican Rep. Troy Balderson, ﬁrst elected in 2018, held his
central Ohio seat against Democrat Alaina Shearer, like Schroder
a ﬁrst-time candidate. Republican
Rep. Mike Turner of Dayton won
his 10th term, defeating ﬁrst-time
Democratic candidate Desiree
Tims. Four-term Republican Rep.
Dave Joyce was reelected after facing a spirited challenge in northeast Ohio from Democrat Hillary
O’Connor Mueri, a ﬁrst-time
candidate and former naval ﬂight
ofﬁcer.

Seats

The nation’s longest-serving
woman in Congress led the way
as all four of Ohio’s Democratic
House incumbents won reelection.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur won her 19th
term from northern Ohio, Rep.
Marcia Fudge her sixth from the
Cleveland area, Rep. Tim Ryan his
ﬁfth from the Youngstown area,
and Rep. Joyce Beatty her fourth
from the Columbus area.
On the Republican side, Rep.
Jim Jordan, a ﬁery conservative
supporter of Trump, won his
eighth term from northwestcentral Ohio, and Rep. Warren
Davidson, who succeeded former
House Speaker John Boehner in
his western Ohio district by winning a 2016 special election, won
his third full term. Rep. Brad Wenstrup, who served in the Iraq War
as a combat surgeon, won a ﬁfth
term from southern Ohio. Former
Ohio State University football
player Anthony Gonzalez won his
second term in northeast Ohio.
Veteran Reps. Steve Stivers, Bob
Gibbs, Bill Johnson and Bob Latta
also won reelection.
Democrat Jennifer Brunner
defeated incumbent Ohio Supreme
Court Justice Judi French in one
of two contested races on the state
high court. Republican Justice
Sharon Kennedy turned back
Democrat John O’Donnell to leave
the GOP with a 4-3 majority on
the court.
Brunner is a state appeals court
judge and a former Ohio secretary
of state. She made an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate in 2010.
French, a former assistant Ohio
attorney general, was running for
her second full six-year term on
the court. French won election in
2014 after being appointed to the
court a year earlier.
Republicans retained their
supermajorities in both chambers
of Ohio’s Legislature despite a
federal bribery scandal involving
the former speaker, Larry Householder.
The outcome gives the GOP
enough votes to override a governor’s vetoes and to more easily
place constitutional amendments
before voters.
Householder’s reelection bid
was unclear early Wednesday,
because votes cast for four writein candidates running against him
had not yet been counted.

NCAA’s Election Day
off sends message
but is it needed?

Rio baseball picked 6th in RSC poll
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

A summer of activism, sparked by protests of
racial injustice, led to a grassroots movement to
give college athletes the day off from sports on
Election Day.
The NCAA latched on to the idea and, under
a mandate approved in September, organized
athletics will go dark on college campuses across
the country. It has not gone over without a hitch:
Tuesdays are typically when that week’s game plan
is ﬁrst put into action, and there has been grumbling from a few football coaches.
Clemson safety Nolan Turner, who is from the
suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama, said Monday he
had already voted by absentee ballot.
“We’re going to have our typical Tuesday practice today, and then (Tuesday) will kind of be a
midweek day, get refreshed, get the body feeling
good and really get dialed in on our game plan and
what we’ve got to do against Notre Dame,” Turner
said of the top-ranked Tigers’ trip to Indiana this
weekend.
That’s the point Turner’s coach, Dabo Swinney,
was making last month when he said he “didn’t
understand” the NCAA decision. Many players
will have already voted and those that haven’t
probably wouldn’t need all day to do so.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said having Tuesday off meant rushing players back on Sunday for
weight training, physical rehab and meetings after
returning from a road game at Georgia Tech last
Saturday night. No. 4 Notre Dame also worked in
an additional COVID-19 test for players because of
the change in schedule.
“Less than an ideal situation,” Kelly said.
Florida coach Dan Mullen said he supports
making Election Day a federal holiday and giving
everyone a day off from work and school. But last
week he called the NCAA’s Election Day decision
“disappointing.”
Florida has held a team voter registration
day, Mullen said, and he wanted to get the team
together to vote as a group Tuesday.
“We’re not allowed to do the organized team
activities that day now,” Mullen said.
At the height of the protests that came after the
police killings of George Floyd in Minneapolis and
Breona Taylor in Louisville, it was common for
college football players and their coaches to not
just take part in campus marches and demonstrations but to lead them.
At Clemson, in particular, star quarterback
Trevor Lawrence and his teammates organized an
event.
Georgia Tech assistant basketball coach Eric
Reveno has been credited with planting the idea of
making Election Day an off day for college athletes
back in the summer and moving it forward on
social media with #AllVoteNoPlay.
Georgia Tech football coach Geoff Collins
backed Reveno’s idea. Before the NCAA made it
ofﬁcial on Sept. 16, individual schools such as
UCLA and Minnesota said they would give athletes Nov. 3 off. Texas coach Tom Herman said
he planned to do give his team the day off and
provide transportation to the polls for those who
needed it.
Duke coach David Cutcliffe said the school and
athletic department have put a lot of effort into
empowering athletes, encouraging them to vote
and educating them on how to go about it.
“We’ve worked very hard with our team so that
anybody that wasn’t registered is now registered,
and we’ve had our people administratively help
them get their ballots, make sure they’re voting
and have voted,” Cutcliffe said.
As for a day off, Cutcliffe said: “I think it’s a
little more showy, honestly — I’ll just say it like it
is — than it has purpose.”
Perhaps no team had to condense its preparation this week more than No. 9 BYU. The Cougars
play their toughest game of the season Friday
night at No. 21 Boise State.
BYU, which is afﬁliated with the Church of Latter Day Saints, does not permit athletic activities
on Sundays. Because of that, the school asked the
NCAA for a waiver to permit the Cougars to practice Tuesday. It was denied.
“Everybody had good intentions,” BYU athletic
director Tom Holmoe said. “I don’t think there’s
anybody that’s going to argue with the fact that we

Fortress Obetz to host OHSAA football championships
By Tim Stried
For Ohio Valley Publishing

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The
upcoming Ohio High School Athletic Association football state
championships will be hosted by
Fortress Obetz, a multi-purpose
sports complex located in Obetz
on the southeast side of Columbus.
The Division I state championship will take place as previously
announced on Friday, Nov. 13,
while the ﬁnals in Divisions II
through VII will be played on Nov.
20-22 (Friday through Sunday),
with two games each day.
Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton had hosted the
football ﬁnals for the last three
years, but attendance limitations
currently set by the Ohio Health
Director’s Sports Order are at
1,500 spectators per game due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fortress Obetz has an 8,000-

seat grandstand that will be set
up to socially distance 1,500 total
fans. The facility, which includes
Memorial Park and totals 50 acres,
opened in 2017 on the former site
of the Columbus Motor Speedway
and is also the new home of the
OHSAA cross country state championships, which will be held there
Saturday, Nov. 7.
“Fortress Obetz is an outstanding facility and we are grateful for
the partnership with the Village of
Obetz and stadium director Steve
Adams,” said OHSAA Executive
Director Doug Ute. “The teams
will get to play on a fantastic ﬁeld
and the large grandstand will allow
us to permit the maximum number
of fans to see their teams play for
state titles. Obetz is excited to host
the football state championship
games and we are pleased to ﬁnd
a partner during these uncertain
times.”
Fortress Obetz was built to host

sporting events, concerts, festivals
and more. It was the home of the
Ohio Machine professional lacrosse
team from 2017-19. The facility
has ﬁve video boards, concessions,
restrooms and several parking
areas outside the stadium.
“Fortress Obetz and our entire
community are very excited and
proud to partner with the Ohio
High School Athletic Association
and their member schools during
this challenging and unprecedented
football season,” said Steve Adams,
National Director of Athletic Operations and Facilities Promotion,
Village of Obetz.

Nancy Darsch, who guided the
Ohio State women’s basketball
team to the 1993 title game and
went on to coach in the WNBA,
has died. She was 68.
She had Parkinson’s disease and died Monday in her
hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Brian Agler, who
coached with her at Seattle in
the WNBA, said Darsch’s family
informed him of her death.
Darsch started her college
coaching career as an assistant
at Tennessee under the great Pat
Summitt. Darsch led the Buckeyes for 12 years, from 1985
to 1997, compiling a 234-125
record and making seven appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
Ohio State went 28-4 in during
the 1992-93 season and lost to

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — No. 16 Marshall will play two

Conference USA announced Wednesday that Marshall will host Rice
on Dec. 5 and will play at Florida International on Friday, Dec. 11.
The league also has pushed back the conference championship
game from Dec. 5 to Dec. 18.
Other Marshall games that were called off due to the pandemic
were against East Carolina and Old Dominion.
Marshall (5-0) hosts FBS independent Massachusetts (0-1) on

to the advancement of both collegiate and professional women’s
basketball and her passion for
the game will forever be felt.”
Darsch later coached the
Washington Mystics and was an
assistant for the Minnesota Lynx
and Seattle Storm.
“Anyone who knew Nancy
knows she had such a ﬁery exterior and such a tender heart,”
said longtime assistant Melissa
McFerrin, who worked with her
at Ohio State, New York and
Washington. “That to me is what
most people know about Nancy.
They’ll see her on the outside,
but get her 1-on-1 and she was
so warm and sensitive and loved
the players she coached.”
She was a coach with the
Storm from 2008-13 and helped
them win a championship in
2010.
“She was a great coach and

even better person. The thing
that jumped out to me was her
lack of ego and how humble
she was,” Agler said. “Veteran
players really liked her because
they respected her wisdom, and
that’s what she brought to the
table. Basketball wisdom or life
wisdom.”
Darsch also worked as an
assistant coach for USA Basketball, helping the women’s team
earn its ﬁrst gold medal in 1984.
She returned as an assistant for
the 1996 team that won gold in
Atlanta.
Darsch graduated from Springﬁeld College in Massachusetts.
She moved back home to Plymouth about a decade ago. She
is survived by her sister-in-law,
Mary Darsch, as well as her
niece Sara and nephew Dan,
as well as Dan’s wife Sarah and
three great nieces.

Following the incident

“Most recently, on or

Trussell following an
attempt to address allegation of disparate treatment.”
“In response to Jones’
concern and request to
talk to someone meaning

derogatory statement that
he would call ‘Hopewell’ a

the area.”
The complaint ﬁled
Tuesday states, “Despite
Jones’ reports regarding
Defendants Wood and
Trussell committing disability motivated hostile
actions and behavior, and
Mr. Molnar’s report, neither Defendant Wood or
Trussell were reprimanded or sanctioned.”
Among the relief
sought, is an award
against each defendant
of compensatory and
monetary damages to
compensate Jones for
emotional distress, personal injury, property
damage, unpaid wages,
and other consequential

damages in the amount
in excess of $25,000 per

from any employment
practice which discriminates against or harasses
employees or others on
the basis of race, religion,
sex, military status,
national origin, disability,
age, or ancestry, or in
retaliation against the
person because he or she
