Kent State professor awaits decision in S.B. 1 investigation
Kent State University professor allegedly violated Senate Bill 1.

Athens health department investigating at least 11 Shiga E. coli cases at Ohio University
The Athens City-County Health Department and officials at Ohio University are investigating the source of several confirmed cases of E. coli on the university's Athens campus. The health department on Nov. 13 reported at least 11 laboratory-confirmed cases of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli , up from four confirmed cases originally announced Nov. 11. All of the cases identified so far involve students on the university's Athens campus, according to health officials. The health department said it is working along with university officials to "identify possible exposures" and to find out if the cases share a common source, as well as determine any ongoing risk. The Shiga-toxin producing E. coli can spread through contaminated food, water, contact with animals or from person to person, the health department said. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the restroom and before eating or preparing food can prevent spreading the infection, according to the health department. Symptoms can range from severe stomach cramps to potentially bloody diarrhea. Some may also experience vomiting or a low fever. Symptoms usually start within three to four days after exposure and can take up to 10 days to appear. "We encourage students and members of the

Columbus East stuns Licking Valley with fourth-quarter comeback
HANOVER ― Licking Valley was standing on the doorstep with a frantic last-ditch drive. But relentless Columbus East, which had just staged a stunning comeback of its own, would not let them in. The visiting Tigers trailed the Panthers 33-14 with 10:25 left but reeled off 22 unanswered points and held on for a riveting 36-33 Division III, Region 11 semifinal victory on Nov. 13 in chilly Randy Baughman Stadium. “(Resilience) is what I’ve preached since 1999 when I coached little league. Don’t ever give up on yourself. Always believe in yourself no matter what,” East coach Mike Bell said after his third-seeded team (11-1) earned a crack against top seed Steubenville (10-2), a 21-14 winner against Dover, on Nov. 20 in the regional finals. “I looked in their eyes. They still believed, too. I am so proud of the boys. I don’t know what to say." Seemingly down and out and trailing by 19, the quick-strike Tigers got a 65-yard touchdown pass to scintillating sophomore wideout Michael Thompson-Ayers from elusive, strong-armed quarterback Dior Hansard, then a 59-yarder from Hansard to Adreice Reed as the gap suddenly narrowed to 33-28 with 7:25 to play. After another Valley three and out,
