COLUMBUS — On Feb.
27, 2019, members of the
Meigs County Pioneer and
Historical Society attended
Statehood Day at the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.
James K. Stanley, President, and Jay Russell, VicePresident, represented the
Historical Society and the
Meigs County Museum at
the event.
Statehood Day celebrates
Ohio becoming a state on
March 1, 1803, and serves
as an opportunity for his-

tory professionals and
volunteers to meet and
discuss a variety of issues
facing museums and historical societies in Ohio as
well as to advocate for history and historic preservation. The theme this year
was Strengthening Ohio
Through Heritage.
Stanley and Russell
promoted Meigs County’s
Bicentennial, toured the
Statehouse with other history advocates, and met
with State Representative
Jay Edwards and State
Senator Frank Hoagland to

discuss issues important
to historic preservation in
Ohio and particularly in
Meigs County. The legislative priorities discussed
during the course of the
program were the need
for additional state investment in the Ohio History
Connection’s historic sites
and museums, the establishment of a Woman’s
Suffrage Centennial Commission with funding to
support activities recognizing the passage of the 19th
Amendment to the United
States Constitution, and

the need for legislation
to better protect Ohio’s
human burial places.
Chief Glenna Wallace
of the Eastern Shawnee
Tribe of Oklahoma was the
keynote speaker and spoke
about the importance of
preserving Native American cultural sites in Ohio
and across the country.
The programing concluded
with the presentation of
history fund grants to ten
historical societies and
organizations from across

New governor to
deliver 1st State of
the State speech
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The need to boost
Ohio’s gas tax, efforts to ﬁght the opioid epidemic, and programs to improve children’s lives
are among topics that Gov. Mike DeWine was
expected to address Tuesday in his ﬁrst State of
the State speech.
Since taking ofﬁce, the Republican has made
clear his priorities through a series of program
announcements and cabinet director selections.
Those include the creation of the Ofﬁce of Child
Welfare Transformation to lead the state’s child
protection and foster care efforts, and the RecoveryOhio Advisory Council, to advise DeWine
on mental illness and substance use prevention,
treatment, and recovery support services.
As a result, the governor’s speech was expected
to underscore those already-stated priorities rather than serve as a launch pad for new programs,
as some governors have done in the past.
“I don’t think you’ll ﬁnd any great surprises,”
DeWine said last week.
Democrats hope to hear from DeWine about
ways to boost the state’s economy and lower
the unemployment rate of 4.6 percent, which is
above the national average of 3.9 percent.
“There’s no doubt we need to start bringing
more jobs back, but we also need to make sure
those jobs are paying a living wage,” said Sen.
Kenny Yuko of suburban Cleveland, the top Senate Democrat.
In one regard, DeWine’s speech should sound
and look familiar. Unlike his predecessor, fellow
Republican Gov. John Kasich, DeWine is holding
his address in the Ohio House chamber and will
speak from prepared remarks.
Kasich made state history by taking seven of
his eight annual speeches on the road, delivering them in Lima, Steubenville, and Wilmington,
among other cities. Kasich often spoke off the
cuff.
DeWine is a former state attorney general, U.S.
senator, lieutenant governor, congressman and
state lawmaker. A look at what he is expected to
highlight Tuesday:

18-cent increase in the gas tax to maintain and

Two teen participants in the first-ever Mason County EMS “Kids Only” CPR Class are pictured as they practice chest compressions
on a manikin. The class was led by EMT and Instructor Elisabeth Lloyd, who also serves as the county EMS community involvement
coordinator.

Inaugural ‘kids only’ CPR class
By Mindy Kearns
Special to the Register

MASON COUNTY —
Many are of the opinion
that teenagers today are
self-serving, but over a
dozen teens gave up their
Sunday afternoon this
week to learn what might
just save someone’s life.
The students completed the ﬁrst-ever Mason
County EMS “Kids Only”
CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation) Class, led
by Elisabeth Lloyd. Lloyd
serves as the county
EMS community involvement coordinator, and
was assisted by fellow

instructors Holly Davis
and Hannah Parsons.
The teens came from
Mason and Putnam counties in West Virginia, as
well as Meigs County,
Ohio. While they came
for various reasons, they
all had one goal – that of
helping people.
Chase Crouse, 15, of
Buffalo, took the class
with his 12-year-old
sister. He said his reason was to simply help
people if they need it.
The mother of one of
the students said her
daughter is wanting to
start the job of babysitting.

participant learn the correct way of administering mouth-tomouth breathing Sunday during a “kids only” class.

“I told her she couldn’t

House Democrats
launch aggressive
new Trump probe
WASHINGTON
(AP)— Democrats
launched a sweeping new
probe of President Donald Trump on Monday, an
aggressive investigation
that threatens to shadow
the president through the
2020 election season with
inquiries into his White
House, campaign and
family businesses.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said that his
committee has begun
the probe into possible
obstruction of justice,
corruption and abuse of
power and that the panel
is sending document
requests to 81 people
linked to the president
and his associates.
The broad investigation could be setting the
stage for an impeachment effort, although
Democratic leaders have
pledged to investigate
all avenues and review
special counsel Robert
Mueller’s report before
trying any drastic action.
Nadler said the document
requests, with responses
to most due by March 18,

years, President Trump

for his near-daily attacks
on our basic legal, ethical,
and constitutional rules
and norms,” Nadler said.
“Investigating these
threats to the rule of law
is an obligation of Congress and a core function
of the House Judiciary
Committee.”
Now that Democrats
hold a majority in the
House, the new probe
is a sign that Trump’s

potentially damaging allegations will follow Trump
for months to come as
Democrats try to keep
them in the public eye.
It is also an indication
of the Democrats’ current strategy — to ﬂood
the administration with
oversight requests, keeping Trump and his associates on trial publicly
and also playing a long
game when it comes to
possible impeachment.
While some more liberal
members of the Democratic caucus would like
to see Trump impeached
now, Democratic leaders
have been more cautious.

My computer, which, let’s face it, has a hard

anti-virus umm….thing. Program! Yes! That’s the
word. Program. Now you begin to
understand why I say my computer
should be getting combat pay. It’s
dealing with a human who either

name of the thing in the ﬁrst place.
In any event, even this woefully

Contributing is because there are under-stimulated
columnist
seventeen-year-olds all over the
world who have nothing better to do
than to write umm…programs that will irrevocably
scramble the innards of a computer. All the king’s
horses and all the king’s men are no match against
an evil-minded teenager. So my computer got this
email saying it was time to renew the antivirus.
All sorts of horrifying consequences were predicted unless the computer’s slave (that’s me) ran
right to the Internet and bought more protection.
The email illustrated in terms even a human
could understand how to renew the program. I
followed the steps exactly. Exactly. The only thing
that didn’t happen exactly was the correct window
coming up saying “subscription veriﬁcation.”
Remember this term. It will become more important than your social security number.
Thus, I was forced to call customer service. We
all know just how dire things must be to elicit
a call to customer service. But obviously I have
amassed a great deal of good karma because (1)
someone answered my call almost immediately
(2) that someone, whose name is Zia, spoke a
language with which I am familiar (3) Zia was
kind … very kind and (4) Zia knew how to ﬁx the
problem. Sort of.
The ﬁrst issue with which we had to deal was
the fact that my antivirus program had not been
registered. Zia did not, to put it mildly, approve
of programs that have not be registered. She said,
“not registered” in the same tone of voice someone else might say “ax murderer.” There is no
room in Zia’s world for an unregistered antivirus.
There were two ways to ﬁx the problem. Three,
if you count throwing the computer against the
wall with a great deal of force. The ﬁrst was to run
some other program that would investigate the
unregistered program. Zia warned this was a very
time-intensive process. She used that “ax murderer” tone of voice again which told me we were
going with option two if at all possible. Option
two was (cue scary music … da-da-DA!) to give
Zia remote control of my computer so she could
get rid of the middleman. The middleman, you
understand, is me.
Handing over control of one’s computer is the
twenty-ﬁrst century equivalent of sacriﬁcing your
ﬁrst-born child in exchange for a good crop. Not
quite everything, but a whole bunch of my stuff
is on that computer. Some of my manuscripts,
some of my emails, some of my aviation records,
and all of my brain are encompassed in that thin
black case. And now some total stranger, even
one as nice as Zia, wanted to take control of it.
We all know that by this stage of the game I
was going to do whatever Zia told me to do. She
instructed me on what to type into the address
window. I did it and she took over. The comforting thing was that Zia knew she was dealing with
a rank amateur. She told me in great detail exactly what she was going to do, why she was doing
it, and how it would look on my screen. A little
window opened up outlining second by second
what was going on. Then the cursor came alive.
It ﬂowed, it zipped, it looped across the screen
in graceful lazy arcs. Zia played my computer
like a Stradivarius. The one thing she couldn’t
seem to manage was to make the window saying
“subscription veriﬁcation” show a correct result.
With the optimistic voice of the true believer, Zia
would say things like “We’ve got it now” or “This
will ﬁx it.” Then the subscription veriﬁcation
window would show the same incorrect data it
had been showing for 30 minutes. Apparently the
only thing Zia dislikes worse than unregistered
programs is incorrect data. That woman was
relentless. After 45 minutes of trying, during
which her carpal tunnel syndrome must have hit
lethal levels, Zia got my computer to tell her that
my subscription had been veriﬁed and how many
days I have left on that exhaustedly veriﬁed subscription.
It seems the warning that the apocalypse was
near if I didn’t renew immediately used the term
“immediately” in a, shall we say, lose manner.
I had two months left on the old subscription
which is just about how much time it would have
taken me to ﬁgure this out on my own.
(The rest of the story: today I got a notice saying my antivirus program is expiring soon.)

THEIR VIEW

Our children deserve better
Nothing better exempliﬁes the random and
absurd manner in which
the Ohio Legislature creates laws than Senator
Peggy Lehner’s Third
Grade Reading Guarantee. As the law’s title suggests, it was designed to
ensure that ALL students
would be reading at grade
level on state approved
assessments by the end of
third grade or face repeating the grade. Anyone
with an ounce of sense
knows no law could guarantee such a thing. But,
guarantee it she did.
Since the law’s enactment, there has never
been a year when all of
Ohio’s third grade students have achieved the
established standard. Not
once. Nor will there ever
be. So, the ONLY thing
it has guaranteed is that
third graders who have
not earned a randomly
established “passing”
score on a reading test
are subjected to repeating
the third grade.
Now, retaining students might be an acceptable strategy if we could
be sure that doing so will
positively impact their
lives. But, the research
gives us no such assurance.
The fact is, a person
can ﬁnd data supporting
both the beneﬁts and

Joey Logano holds off
Brad Keselowski for
Vegas NASCAR win
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Joey Logano and Brad
Keselowski were side by side off the fourth turn,
two teammates ﬁghting for the last burst of speed
on the ﬁnal lap at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Logano barely managed to block Keselowski’s
move, and the defending NASCAR Cup Series
champion hung on for his ﬁrst win in his title
defense season.
“That was more intense than I wanted it to be,”
Logano said.
Logano held off Keselowski on Sunday for his
ﬁrst Cup victory in Vegas, driving his Team Penske Ford to his 22nd career win.
“There’s been plenty of times here when we’ve
led a lot of laps here, but we’ve never won, and
that’s the most important stat to have,” Logano
said. “Something happens at the end, and Brad
becomes the fastest car and he wins. I looked in
the mirror, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is
happening again.’”
But after narrowly answering Keselowski’s lastlap passing attempt, Logano celebrated his victory
in NASCAR’s ﬁrst race under its full new rules
package designed to foster tight racing and excitement.
“What a great race,” Logano said. “Brad and I
were so evenly matched, and you just can’t pull
away (under the new rules). My heart is still running.”
Excitement is exactly what NASCAR got on
the ﬁnal lap, although the quality of the 266 laps
before that sharply divided drivers and observers — no surprise in a sport that rarely agrees on
much of anything.
The Vegas race featured no cautions, which
meant the thrilling restarts expected under the
new rules were limited to a couple of wild laps
after the two segment breaks.
“There towards the end, the way this drafting
package, these rules work, it was intense,” Logano
said. “You can’t get away. You’re constantly looking
around. Mentally, I’m exhausted right now. … It
proves you don’t need crashes to have an exciting
race. There’s so much strategy that goes into driving these race cars now. I thought it was as entertaining as can be. I don’t really know what to say if
you don’t like that.”
Keselowski drove up from 19th to take the lead
with 27 laps left, but his hopes for back-to-back
victories were dashed when Logano passed him
while getting held up by lapped trafﬁc.
“I’d like to have one more lap,” said Keselowski,
who won the playoff race in Vegas last September.
“It was a good battle, and we were both ﬁghting
really hard at the top. It seemed like it came down
to what the lapped cars were going to do.”
Kyle Busch ﬁnished third, unable to recover
from a mid-race speeding penalty in the hometown
driver’s quest for the third three-race weekend
sweep in NASCAR history. As you might expect,
Busch wasn’t a fan of the new rules’ effects on his
racing.
“The cars don’t have any speed,” Busch said.
“You’re wide open just trying to catch a draft. You
couldn’t maneuver. You’re always trying to ﬁgure
out which way to go.”
Pole-sitter Kevin Harvick was fourth, and Kurt
Busch ﬁnished ﬁfth for the Las Vegas native’s ﬁrst
top-ﬁve ﬁnish at his home track since 2005. Fords

Raiders send 2 to state
Blue Devils, Rebels, Eagles
end season at districts
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

What a year … and it’s
still not over.
The River Valley wrestling program keeps adding to its historic 2018-19
campaign after qualifying
two grapplers into the
state tournament next
weekend following Saturday’s ﬁnale at the 2019
Division III East District
Championships held at
Troy High School.
The Raiders — who
competed at the OHSAA
Team Duals in D-3 earlier this season — had a
school-best seven competitors at the district
event, which ultimately
led to a 10th place ﬁnish
in the 60-team ﬁeld with
59 points.
Two grapplers —
senior Eric Weber and
freshman Nathan Cadle
— both came away with
top-four efforts at the
two-day event, allowing
each of them to qualify
for 2019 OHSAA Individual Wrestling Championships this coming week
at Ohio State University’s
Schottenstein Center.
Both Weber — a
three-time district qualiﬁer — and Cadle are the
ﬁrst tandem qualiﬁers in
RVHS history, as well as
the second and third state
advancees in program
lore. Only Zach Davis had
previously been to state

for the Silver and Black,
doing so in Division II
back in both 2003 and
2004.
Weber ended up fourth
overall at 182 pounds
with a 4-2 overall mark
that included three pinfall wins. Cadle was also
fourth overall at 138
pounds with a 4-2 record
that included three pinfalls.
Weber owns a 46-13
overall mark headed into
the state meet, while
Cadle is 44-11 overall in
his ﬁrst varsity campaign.
Senior Jacob Edwards
— a four-time district
qualiﬁer — just missed
the state cut after placing ﬁfth overall at 126
pounds. Edwards was 4-2
with a pinfall over the
weekend and ﬁnished the
year with a 38-9 record.
Senior Joseph Burns
— a three-time district
qualiﬁer — scored one
pinfall and went 1-2 overall at 120 pounds, while
freshman Will Hash was
2-2 with two pinfalls at
145 pounds. Burns ended
the season with a 29-15
record, while Hash was
45-12 in his ﬁrst varsity
season.
Sophomore Ryan
Weber went 1-2 overall
at 220 pounds and ended
the year with a 21-28
mark. Freshman Chris
Goheen was winless in
two heavyweight bouts
and completed the winter

with an 18-27 record.
RVHS coach Matthew
Huck — who is completing his 20th season at the
helm — noted that this
weekend was just another
feather in the cap on what
has been a magical 2019
campaign.
“What these two have
done this year is a huge
milestone in River Valley wrestling and for
our school. They took
ﬁve of their teammates
with them to the district
tournament … and even
though this is an individual sport, these guys
needed their teammates
with them everyday at

practice to help them
get to this point,” Huck
said. “This has been a
record-breaking year and
we’re looking to break
some more records this
weekend.”
South Gallia also
made school history at
the D-3 Troy district
as junior Justin Butler
became the ﬁrst Rebel in
school history to score
a victory at the district
tournament.

decision in the opening
round of the consolation
bracket and ultimately

Nick Bosa healthy again

OVP SPORTS BRIEF

MYL baseball-softball
signups March 9

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Nick Bosa found himself in the news again
last week when Zion
Williamson sprained his
right knee in the opening minute against North
Carolina.
The sight of his left
shoe tearing apart and
Williamson grabbing his
right knee unleashed
feverish debate over
whether Duke’s freakish
freshman forward should
ever again play for Mike
Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils.
Many wondered if
he should just turn his
attention to the pros like
Bosa did six months ago
when he got hurt in Ohio
State’s third game of the
season. Instead of rehabbing for a return to the
Buckeyes, Bosa began
training for the combine,
the draft and a career in
the NFL.
Bosa ﬁgures to get
drafted higher than his
father, John, who went
16th overall to Miami in
1987, and maybe even
higher than big brother,
Joey, the third overall
pick by the Chargers in
2016.
Williamson is the consensus top pick in the
NBA draft this summer.
So, Bosa was asked
at the NFL scouting
combine Saturday what
advice he’d give Williamson, who missed his
third straight game Saturday with a mild knee
sprain.
“I mean, just lean on
the people that you love
and go with your gut,”
Bosa said. “I faced a
pretty serious injury. I
had surgery that took

took ﬁve of the top seven
spots.
Here are more things
to know from the race in
Sin City:
Busch blame
Kyle Busch won the
Trucks race Friday and
the Xﬁnity event Saturday, giving him 197 victories in all three series.
But he has won only one
Cup race in Vegas, and he
owned his mistake when
he failed to complete the
triple.
“If we didn’t have the
speeding penalty on pit
road, we would have won
this race,” Busch said.
“The driver threw it
away.”
Penske surging
Roger Penske’s team
has won two of the ﬁrst
three races, and the
82-year-old owner is
encouraged by the early
results from the new
package, and not just
because Logano won.
“To me it shows that
you can be the leader,
but also you can be
behind and catch up,”
Penske said. “I’m maybe
biased, but so far, so
good.”

Penske also wasn’t
worried when his two
drivers were inches apart
on that ﬁnal lap: “We’ve
really told them to take
care of each other, and
the last 10 laps, the best
man wins. I’ve seen it all
over the years with teammates racing each other.
On the one side, you
worry a little bit, but on
the other side, boy, isn’t
that great?”
Who’s hot
Logano moved into
the overall series points
lead, jumping two points
ahead of Kevin Harvick.
Logano, who ﬁnished
fourth at Daytona, had
never won a Cup race at
Vegas in 11 tries during
his ﬁrst 10 full-time seasons, although he won an
Xﬁnity Series race at the
track in 2017.
Who’s not
Seven-time series champion Jimmie Johnson
ﬁnished 19th, and he sits
18th in the overall points.
That’s last among the four
drivers from Hendrick
Motorsports, which isn’t
off to a dynamite start to
the season.

Phoenix on March 10 as
NASCAR’s West Coast
Swing continues.

me out for the rest of
the year, so kind of the
choice was made for
me.”
Bosa dealt with something much more serious
than Williamson did
— a torn bilateral core
muscle, an excruciating
injury that occurs when
the rectus abdominus
or adductor muscles are
torn off the pubic bone.
Surgeons ﬁx it by inserting a mesh cone into
the tear to plug the hole
formed in the muscle.
“It’s literally the
muscle used to breathe,
to cough, to go to the
bathroom,” Bosa said.
Bosa got tangled up
with Horned Frogs left
tackle Austin Meyers on
a third down pass rush
on Sept. 14 in Arlington,
Texas, and stayed on the
turf.
“I know what a serious
injury is,” Bosa said. “I
knew my season was in
jeopardy and I had a doctor conﬁrm that.”
Bosa had gotten off to
a terriﬁc start, collecting
a team-high 14 tackles,
including six for loss,
and four sacks when he
got hurt.
“It was the year that
I been waiting for my
whole career,” he said.
“I kind of split reps my
freshman and sophomore
year. Coming in I was
going to be the guy. … It
just got torn away from
me. It’s something that
I’ll always think back to.”
That ﬁrst night was
the toughest, he said.
“When I got home
from that TCU game I
was lying in bed, I could
barely get up,” Bosa
said. “It was one of the

darkest moments of my
life so far.
“So, for me to just
talk to my family and let
them bring me up and
just know that my life is
still good and I still have
amazing blessings and a
bright future, that’s what
helped me get through
it.”
Five days later, he
underwent surgery and
in mid-October, Bosa
had decided he wouldn’t
return.
He moved in with Joey
in Los Angeles and after
the Chargers’ season
was over, the brothers
returned to their hometown of Fort Lauderdale,
Florida.
Bosa said he’s ﬁnally
back to 100 percent and
wouldn’t hold back during his testing at the
combine nor skip any
drills.
Bosa said that while he
was told the injury likely
came about because of
the enormous torque
his body experiences
playing football, he’s not
worried that he’ll reinjure himself.
“This is one of the
injuries that once you
get it ﬁxed, it’s pretty
guaranteed to be good,”
Bosa said.
NFL Media analyst
Daniel Jeremiah rates
the 6-foot-4, 263-pounder
the best player in the
draft. Although he’s
an inch shorter and 13
pounds lighter than
his brother, “I expect
similar dominance and
production at the NFL
level,” Jeremiah said.
“That would just
mean so much to be
thought of as the best

player in the draft,”
Bosa said.
The top pick belongs
to the Arizona Cardinals, who recently hired
Ohio State linebackers
coach Billy Davis.
Joey Bosa said his
brother made the right
decision not to return
to Ohio State: “If anyone had the opportunity to hit the lottery
tomorrow, would anyone risk that? He has
that opportunity. There
is a difference between
high draft stock and
No. 1 pick in the draft.”
Forget sibling rivalry
, too: Bosa said his big
brother wants him to
do better than he did
three years ago when
only quarterbacks Jared
Goff and Carson Wentz
were drafted ahead of
him.
“It’s crazy that both
of us are in this position so soon after each
other,” the younger
Bosa said.
Bosa ﬁnished his
college career with 29
tackles in 30 games,
17 1/2 sacks and two
fumble recoveries.
“I don’t have as much
tape as some people,
but clearly my tape was
enough to get me this
far,” Bosa said.
While Bosa will never
forget the sudden end
to his college career,
he’d rather think about
what lies ahead.
“I’m going to show it
this year as a rookie,”
Bosa said. “I didn’t get
to show as much as I
wanted at Ohio State, it
was very short, but I’ve
got a lot of football to
play in my career.”

Purdue beats Ohio State,
grabs solo lead of Big Ten
WEST LAFAYETTE,
Ind. (AP) — Purdue
leading scorer Carsen
Edwards has struggled
from the ﬁeld in the
second half of the Big
Ten season, including a
recent two-game stretch
when he was made 7 of
40 shots.
Edwards has returned
to form in the past two
games. The junior guard
set the tone Saturday
by scoring 25 points on
9-of-16 shooting, helping
the No. 14 Boilermakers
beat Ohio State 86-51 to
take sole possession of
ﬁrst place in the Big Ten.
“I took what the
defense gave me and I
was able to make some
shots,” said Edwards,
who hit half of his eight
3-point attempts. “I
was trying to come out
aggressive and I was able
to move without the ball.
I got some good passes
from my teammates with
the screens they set for
me.”
Purdue coach Matt
Painter said teams have
defended Edwards differently, so he has to adjust.
“You take what the
defense gives you and
you play off of it,” Painter said. “When he moves
the basketball and gets
two people on the basketball and gets it out of
his hands quick, he puts
people in a bind. If you
let him dribbled into his
3s a lot, he’s going to get
into a good rhythm.”
Matt Haarms had 12
points and Aaron Wheeler added 10 for the Boilermakers (22-7, 15-3). It
was the ﬁnal home game
for senior starters Ryan

Cline and Grady Eifert,
who each scored eight
points.
“It was probably one
of the better games we
played all year,” Painter
said.
Edwards scored 19
of his points in the ﬁrst
half to help the Boilermakers to a 48-20 halftime lead.
“We knocked down
some shots, we played
good defense,” Painter
said of the ﬁrst half. “We
did a good job of executing.”
Jaedon LeDee led
Ohio State (18-11, 8-10)
with 16 points. Justin
Ahrens was scoreless
after netting 29 points
in his previous game.
Purdue sank 55.9 percent of its shots. The
Buckeyes hit just 33.3
percent. The Boilermakers also made 11 3-pointers compared to two for
Ohio State.
“I was disappointed
with how we performed,” Buckeyes coach
Chris Holtmann said.
“We should probably do
a better job of getting
our guys ready to go.
They hit some tough
shots, but that’s just
what they do.”
The Boilermakers
engineered a 16-2 run,
including 11 straight
points, to lead 32-13
during the ﬁrst half.
“We got a big lead and
we never looked back
from there,” Cline said.
“Once we were making shots, we were just
tough to guard.”
The Buckeyes played
without leading scorer
and rebounder Kaleb

Wesson, who was suspended Friday for a
violation of athletic
department policy. He is
expected to return this
season, Holtmann said.
Holtmann said the
Buckeyes missed his
defense most of all.
“The gap behind his
defense and the other
guys’ defense at that
position is seismic,”
Holtmann said. “That’s
where we struggled.”
Key stat
Purdue: The Boilermakers sank 11 of 21 3-pointers.

Oklahoma beats West Virginia
NORMAN, Okla.
(AP) — Jamal Bieniemy was calm when
the pressure was on.
The freshman guard
scored a season-high
22 points and made 8
of 10 free throws in the
closing minutes to help
Oklahoma beat West
Virginia 92-80 on Saturday.
Oklahoma led by 13
when West Virginia
coach Bob Huggins had
his team start fouling
Bieniemy intention-

ally, starting with 3:08
remaining. Bieniemy
had only attempted 12
free throws all season
before Saturday’s game,
with six makes. He
missed two of his ﬁrst
three before making the
next seven.
Huggins said West
Virginia had a lot to do
with Bieniemy’s overall
performance.
“When you throw it
to him as much as we
threw it to him during
a stretch and you don’t

get back on defense the
way we didn’t get back
on defense — which is
inexcusable on our part
— then you’re going to
score,” Huggins said.
“Then, we fouled him
at the end because he
is a 50 percent freethrow shooter on the
year, and he made free
throws.”
Aaron Calixte also
had a season-high 22
points for Oklahoma.
He made 8 of 11 shots
and 3 of 5 3-pointers.

Jim Delany will step down in 2020
ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Jim Delany, one of the most inﬂuential ﬁgures
in college athletics for three decades,
will step down as Big Ten commissioner when his contract expires in
June 2020.
The 71-year-old has been commissioner since 1989 and established
himself as one of the biggest movers and shakers in U.S. sports. He
oversaw three expansions to increase
Big Ten membership from 10 to 14
schools and conference revenues
increased dramatically under his
watch.
“It’s been an amazing opportunity
to serve and lead these preeminent
institutions, presidents, administrators, coaches and students,” Delany
said Monday in a statement. “It is
incredibly fulﬁlling to support the
hundreds of thousands of young men
and women who have been afforded
an opportunity to obtain best-in-class
educations as a result of the invaluable, one-of-a-kind lessons learned
through the unique combination of
athletic and classroom competition.”
Delany became the Big Ten’s ﬁfth

commissioner when he succeeded
Wayne Duke in 1989. He ambitiously
built the conference proﬁle, negotiating television deals that in 2018 produced an unprecedented distribution
of $51 million for Michigan, one of
the ﬂagship members.
When Delany launched the Big
Ten Network in partnership with
Fox in 2006, the Big Ten became
the ﬁrst Power Five conference with
a television network devoted solely
to programming of league events.
The network was the ﬁrst in cable/
satellite history to reach 30 million
households within its ﬁrst 30 days on
the air.
Delany expanded the Big Ten’s
geographic footprint from the upper
Midwest to the East Coast. Penn
State began competition in the league
in 1991. Nebraska joined in 2011
and Maryland and Rutgers in 2014.
The addition of Nebraska led the Big
Ten to split into divisions in football
and play a conference championship
game. The additions of Maryland and
Rutgers led Delany to open a second
conference ofﬁce in New York.

Al-Shaair brings lessons to combine
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP) — Azeez Al-Shaair
views his NFL future
differently from most
other prospects in Indianapolis this week for the
scouting combine.
He’s not driven by
fame or fortune, fancy
cars or the latest highpriced gadget, and he
certainly isn’t interested
in comparing material
possessions.
What the promising,
young linebacker really
wants is an opportunity
to help his family and
those who, like him,
have learned life’s toughest lessons the hard way.
“We all like the
feel-good story when
times are good, but I
remember eating lunch
as a (high school) freshman in the stairwell by
myself in dirty clothes
always getting made
fun of. That’s what I
remember,” Al-Shaair
said at the NFL’s annual
scouting combine. “I
want to help those types
of people, the people
nobody cares about.”
Today, he’s one of 300plus players trying to
turn one good week into
a multimillion-dollar
career.
But the former Florida
Atlantic star understands a pro career isn’t
just a lottery ticket; it’s a
chance to make a difference, to help his family
regain its footing after
spending the last 6½
years in search of a new
home.
The journey began in
August 2012 when ﬁre
burned Al-Shaair’s house
to the ground. The
high school sophomore
helped his seven siblings
escape as everything
else went up in smoke.
Al-Shaair and his
family spent the next
four months living with
another relative until the
cramped quarters led
them to move into an
extended-stay hotel.
Life was hard, money
was tight and Al-Shaair
wanted to keep his living arrangements a

secret. One visit from
Florida Atlantic coach
Charlie Partridge helped
Al-Shaair see the world
through a different set
of eyes.
“He was the ﬁrst
person, college coach,
that I ever told what I
was going through,” AlShaair said. “I remember
meeting him at a Boys
&amp; Girls Club because
he couldn’t do an inhome visit because I
didn’t have a house. It
was embarrassing for
me. But that was what
made me end up going
there. That connection
we have, I still text him
every now and then, just
to see how he’s doing
and tell him, ‘Love you,
coach.’ If it wasn’t for
that guy giving me a
shot, God knows where
I would have ended up.”
Back then, Al-Shaair
was a 175-pound linebacker full of potential,
and it didn’t take long
for Partridge to see his
investment start paying
dividends.
Al-Shaair earned
Conference USA allfreshman honors in
2015 and ﬁnished 24th
in tackles in the Football Bowl Subdivision as
a sophomore.
Off the ﬁeld, the college experience was
a full-time challenge.
As Al-Shaair began to
open up about the ﬁre
and lack of a home, he
tried to balance classwork with the parental
responsibilities of his
two younger brothers
after becoming their
legal guardian, and the
Owls ﬁred Partridge following the 2016 season.
“It’s tough. It’s hard
as hell. It’s not easy at
all,” he said. “Anybody
that says you get a free
education, ain’t nothing in life free. You’re
going to have to put in
work for it. I commend
anybody who can go to
college and play sports
and go to class. You’ve
got people who have
4.0 GPAs and they’re
in college with a sport,

that’s amazing. It’s hard
to do that. People don’t
understand, you’ve
got to turn down a lot
of other stuff to stay
(focused).”
Somehow, Al-Shaair
did.
He led Conference
USA in tackles as a
junior and could have
left early for the NFL
draft. Under the circumstances, nobody would
have blamed him.
But instead, Al-Shaair
went back to school,
back to work and back
to his family, only to
endure one more hardship — a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his
left knee, which ended
his senior season after
six games. Al-Shaair had
surgery in November
and is still rehabbing.
While the injury prevented him from doing
any workouts in Indianapolis other than the
bench press, Al-Shaair
measured in at 6-foot-1,
234 pounds and still had
the opportunity to tell
teams how his message
about the value of life
could beneﬁt any locker
room.
“We get so tied into
the fact of ‘I know I
should be better than
this dude’ or ‘He got
that car, I just bought
a brand-new car, but
now I’ve got to have
the next nicest car,’”
he said. “I constantly
battle with that. Even
to this day, as a competitor, I want to be the
best and it’s tough balancing the competitive
nature and that sense
of being ungrateful. If
you break it down, you
see so many things in
life people deal with
other than football.
You’ve got guys that
can’t walk, or can’t use
their (limbs), whatever
the case may be, there
are so many different
people going through
a million things and
you’re not the only one.
You’ve got to be humble
and grateful for what
you’ve got.”
