Ohio AG’s office awards nearly $1 million to veterans groups COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio attorney general’s office has awarded nearly $1 million to veterans groups from money seized during investigation of a multi-state Navy veterans charity fraud. Republican Mike DeWine says the grants are part of efforts to spend the funds as intended, to help veterans. John Paul Cody, long known as Bobby Thompson, was convicted in 2013 and sentenced to 28 years on charges he looted the United States Navy Veterans Association that he ran. The grants include $115,000 each for Ohio’s five Honor Flight hubs that help veterans travel to see memorials in Washington D.C. They are for Cincinnati region, Dayton, Columbus, Cleveland and Findlay hubs. Other grants will support connecting lowincome veterans with free legal help, veterans’ courts, and local efforts for veterans in Lorain, Chillicothe and Toledo.

Leading Senate candidate in Ohio GOP primary mum on Moore By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Republican U.S. Senate primary in Ohio that’s barely registered with the public suddenly has a dividing line: Roy Moore. Josh Mandel, the 40-year-old state treasurer considered the front runner, declined to state a position on whether Moore should quit the Alabama Senate race if allegations of sexual misconduct with minors prove true. That’s a break from other Republicans, including Senate leaders, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and Gov. John Kasich. Rival Mike Gibbons, a Cleveland banker and first-time politician, said if the allegations of decades-old sexual encounters with young girls are true Moore should leave the race. “Of course, if it is true he should step aside,” Gibbons said through a spokesman. Moore, a 70-year-old former state Supreme Court justice, has denied the allegations, which were published Thursday in a Washington Post story. The accounts by multiple women prompted Republican lawmakers to say he should end his candidacy for the Dec. 12 special election if the allegations are true. “I have never engaged in sexual misconduct,” Moore said Friday. The Associated Press sought the Ohio Senate candidates’ opinions of the matter Friday. After repeated calls and text messages, Mandel’s campaign spokeswoman said, “You can say we didn’t respond.” That stance comes as Mandel has sought to align his 2018 campaign with the party’s right flank. He has pushed legislation banning “sanctuary cities” protections for immigrants and sided on social media with two right-wing activists that an Anti-Defamation League report listed in a report on new alt-lite and alt-right movements. He seeks a rematch next fall against Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown, one of the Senate’s most liberal members. 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 Periodical postage paid at Gallipolis, OH POSTMASTER: Send address changes to Sunday Times-Sentinel, 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631.

A lot of the time, these super bugs are actually everyday diseases that we see within our communities, but they have developed antibiotic resistance. What this means is that the organisms and viruses that cause these infections have developed a resistance to antibiotics. One of these that you have likely heard of is MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). So, you may be asking yourself, “How does this happen?” There are several different ways in which this can hap- pen, but we are going to talk about how it happens in humans and how you can help change the course of antibiotic resistance in today’s world, as well as some examples. First, let’s talk about how antibiotic resistance works. When someone is infected with some bacteria, they go to the doctor and get a prescription for an antibiotic. If they have a virus, they don’t need an antibiotic but sometimes they may still be prescribed one. If this happens, bacteria that naturally live within the body can transmit resistant properties to other bacteria. This is one way in which antibiotic resistance can take place. this happens, the The next way antibiotics kill all bacteria can of the nonresisbecome resistant tant bacteria but is by improper leave the resistant use of prescribed bacteria behind. antibiotics.

I came from a lowincome household and no one in my family had ever attended college, so even just this one day a week on a university campus made a life-changing impression on me. As a higher education scholar and a Gallian, I was saddened to read that the Rio Grande Community College (RGCC) levy was defeated. The replacement levy, which hadn’t been on the ballot in 43 years, would have Kayla allowed RGCC to continue providing Johnson access to affordable higher education Contributing for our local communities. The levy’s columnist defeat could mean fewer educational opportunities, as RGCC was relying on the levy for continuing operations at its several branch locations. The levy came at a critical time in our nation’s history. As federal and state funding for higher education continues to decrease, it is increasingly up to communities to support local colleges and universities. I deeply understand that finances are a top concern for families in our region, like many areas throughout the country. However, research shows time and time again that higher education is worth the cost. Investing in education beyond high school increases job preparedness and improves economic opportunity. A recent study by Dell found that 85 percent of the jobs that will be available in 2030 don’t even exist yet. The industries that our parents and our parents’ parents thrived in are being replaced by jobs requiring more than a high school diploma. Higher education helps prepare students for the jobs of the future and educates them on how to adapt to changing job prospects. Also, there are strong connections between education and health. Studies show that increased education reduces poverty and gives individuals knowledge about healthy living. With greater knowledge about health, people can live longer and healthier lives. As our region leads the country in multiple poor health outcomes, the benefits of higher education on health cannot be more relevant. At a time when access to higher education is so important, particularly for rural areas, the prospect of losing our community’s most accessible avenue to higher education is disheartening. While some voters argue that there wasn’t enough information about the levy’s purpose, others seem to be distrustful of the seemingly liberal university system. Still others are skeptical about higher education outcomes in general. I have two things to say to these arguments. First, it is our responsibility as Americans to be informed voters. Could the campaign have provided more information? Maybe, but we must also do our own research. We cannot claim ignorance at the polls and vote no for things we aren’t sure about, because our votes affect our neighbors, our children, and our grandchildren. Second, it is dangerous and irresponsible to play party politics with something as important as education. Whether or not you think universities promote values contrary to your own, please, do not ignore the benefits of a college degree. Please do not deny the opportunity to your friends and family to reap the benefits of higher education. The future of our community depends on higher education. We need more jobs and opportunities here, and education is the best way to bring those goods to Gallia County. Because affordable access to education remains an obstacle for many families, local institutions like URG/RGCC are our best chance. Although I did not formally attend URG or RGCC, they played a central role in my schooling, in my desire to become an educator, and in my strong belief in the power of education. URG hosted academic fairs, theater performances, and even my senior prom. From the time I set foot onto the URG campus as a fourth grader, I knew that I had a place in higher education. Even me, a poor kid from Appalachia, had a place to go to learn and to grow. I now hold a PhD in Higher Education, and credit the role that the URG community played in getting me there. You can only “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” if someone makes sure you have boots and straps. The realities of living in rural areas and living in poverty can be too much to overcome on your own. My parents didn’t know anything about college. We couldn’t really afford it even if they did. This is the reality that many Gallians face. Having access to affordable institutions like the RGCC system is incredibly important now and for the future. They gave me the boots and straps that I used to pull myself up. It takes a village to raise a child, and fortunately URG and RGCC were there to motivate me and to give me the tools to work for a better life. I hope that, even though the levy was defeated, RGCC will continue to be there to do the same for others.

THEIR VIEW A time to recall sacrifice This weekend, as veterans of past wars gather in surroundings such as parks and cemeteries turned inhospitable by November dampness and chilly temperatures, we are inspired to remember the sacrifices of those individuals who went off to fight in the wars that have defined the modern world. For Veterans Day is equally as important as Memorial Day observations around the country in late May where we pause to honor those soldiers, sailors, fliers and their crews who did not return from those conflicts. Veterans Day is often thought of in connection with the armistice that ended World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month of the year 1918. The international conflict that had drawn in the United States in April 1917 had raged for four seemingly interminable years at a staggering cost to life, property and later, national borderlines in Europe and what used to be called Asia Minor. It was the first war to not only be extensively photographed by still camera, who had served but also by cinto preserve our ema that brought national way of life home the images since the Revoluof men going tionary War.

Such of the hardships endured isolationist attitudes by those survivors so worked for awhile until they could return home world events again and pick up their lives forced us into another again. battle for survival, this Indeed, one of the time for the triumph of privileges we enjoy due democracy over dictato the sacrifice of many torship. Veterans Day was well on display this is not only for the men and women who served past week in states that voted for local offices, in World War I but for all of America’s veterans issues and referendums. Citizens make their sentiments known by going to the polls, something still unknown in nondemocratic nations or in countries that boast of elections whose results are meaningless. Despite divided opinions on the value of casting ballots in today’s U.S. — and how secure they are — results still speak volumes about the national and local mood. The efforts of the fallen in past wars have preserved voting as one of our most precious rights, and we need to think about that, even just a little, when the next election rolls around and some folks choose not to exercise that right. And not only this weekend should we pause from college football and family activities to honor the memory of our military heroes. We should give it much more thought all through the year, and not dismiss such sacrifice as a product of a bygone era. It really is something for which all should be grateful. Kevin Kelly, who was affiliated with Ohio Valley Publishing for 21 years, resides in Vinton, Ohio. THEIR VIEW Honoring the sacrifice of veterans I knew I wanted to be a Navy Seal when I was only a five year old boy. What I didn’t know then was the pride, pain, sacrifice and deep love of country it would instill in me as the man I am today. I joined the Navy in 1982, and became a Navy Seal in 1990, retiring in 2003. The people I’ve met throughout my military career have come from all different backgrounds, regions and walks of life. They are proud, courageous and brave men and women who do not seek recognition or acknowledgement for their service. Their families embody strength and resilience. Some of my fellow brothers and sisters returned home, cal, emotional others paid the fatigue it can cost ultimate sacrifice. a service member There is not a day – but what I know that goes by that above all else is I don’t think of that serving my them and reflect country was the on their courage greatest privilege and admire their Frank determination to Hoagland and honor of my defend our way of Contributing life.

Nominations for Christmas assistance OHIO VALLEY — Each location of The Ohio Valley Animal Clinic would like to give back to the community this Christmas by supporting a child or children of a deserving family in need. “We are asking our community’s assistance for nominating this family. This family will be chosen based upon a combination of sincerity of nomination and level of need,” stated a news Jury From page 1A recognized for court proceedings to begin if the grand jury finds probable cause in a case. No individual in Ohio will stand trial of a felony charge unless the charge comes from a grand jury. Should that be the case, a deputy can serve a warrant or summons for the accused to appear in court. Grand juries are typically secret with no judge present. The prosecutor leads the proceeding. Grand juries are chosen from individuals who are county-resident licensed drivers or registered voters. In Gallia, the same jurors will serve potentially four months before a new group will be selected. The grand jury normally meets once a month unless special circumstances are warranted. Witnesses and evidence are presented before the jury and jurors vote to determine whether to indict a potential law offender. The indictment is considered the formal charge in a court case. If a case is presented before grand jury and indicted, the Library From page 1A Marketplace, qualified health plans, and public programs, including Medicaid. In addition, the counselor will help individuals determine which plan is right for them and assist with the enrollment process.

All nominations need to be hand delivered in a sealed envelope or mailed to Ohio Valley Animal Clinic, 39350 Union Ave., Pomeroy, OH 45769. Nominations can be submitted anonymously. The submissions should include the following: Child/Children’s first and last name; Address of Family; Age; Gender; Interests; Clothing size; Reasoning for being nominated. Holiday food drive Nov. 1 thru Dec. 31 ATHENS —Dr. Mathews and staff at 530 W. Union St., Suite A, Athens, will be conducting their annual holiday food drive beginning Nov. 1.

The office will match all donations. “The grand jury is the gatekeeper for cases that are going to proceed onto common pleas court. I may have a case I bring forth that I think may be criminal but may be hard to decide. So we bring it to the grand jury to make that determination.” — Jason Holdren, Gallia County Prosecutor accused will then be brought before court to issue a plea of not guilty, guilty or no contest to the indictment. Whether a case goes to municipal court and then grand jury or grand jury first can be a matter of timing as an arrested individual is entitled to a court appearance within a reasonable amount of time. Oftentimes, a person arrested will have a court appearance within just a few days. Sometimes individuals are released from custody based upon whether prosecution thinks it can move forward with a case or can indict later based upon evidence brought forth later in an investigation. A jurisdiction’s statute of limitations sets out a maximum time that parties can begin a legal proceeding from the date of a reported offense. A statute can differ between jurisdic- tions. “The grand jury is the gatekeeper for cases that are going to proceed onto common pleas court,” said Holdren. “I may have a case I bring forth that I think may be criminal but may be hard to decide. So we bring it to the grand jury to make that determination.” Holdren said the secretive nature of a grand jury can be used to prevent an individual from running from law enforcement as the person does not know they are being charged. It can also potentially save an individual’s reputation from harm if the jury does not find enough evidence to indict.Note: Ohio Valley Publishing always encourages readers to seek professional legal counsel regarding matters of law.

In 1954, it became known as Veterans Day to honor all service men and women who fought in any war since World War I. For a brief time, Veterans Day was celebrated the last Monday in October in order to give federal employees a three-day weekend. This was changed back to Nov. 11 in 1975 after a public outcry. The Meigs Middle School choir and the 8th grade band performed patriotic songs, several students gave readings, and video presentations were shown on a projector screen. Chaplain Coleman of the Feeney-Bennett Post 128 gave a brief presentation, and the program closed with a moment of silence and the playing of Taps.

Every day that the sun comes up is a good day to us.” Some schools went the extra mile for veterans, serving them a free meal as a way to thank them for their service. Others sang songs to the veterans, hoping to convey their appreciation for their sacrifice. Not only were veterans honored and given words of encourage- ment, veterans also gave back to the students. “When young people join the military, they join a special team,” said James Cozza, retired Air Force Colonel. “Because they are on that special team, they should never have to face life alone.” Cozza spoke well of his fellow servicemen and women, seeking to pay tribute to those who never see themselves as heroes. He finished his speech with one piece of advice for students. “As high school students, you can’t do much for vets,” said Cozza. “But when you see a veteran; go up to them, reach out your hand, look them in the eye and say ‘thank you’. Nothing will mean more to them.” Sound advice for us all as we honor those still with us and remember those who have gone on before us in the line of duty.

On Wednesday afternoon in the Gallia Academy High School library, GAHS senior Grace Martin, who missed all but five matches this fall due to injury, signed her National Letter of Intent to join the West Virginia State University volleyball team next season. “This means everything, especially after missing my senior year,” said Martin. “I’m looking forward to continuing my volleyball career, especially at a school like West Virginia State. I’m going through rehab right now, my goal is to better than I was.” In her first three seasons at GAHS, Martin’s impact was felt, as the Blue Angels complied a 64-9 record with two Ohio Valley Conference titles, two Southeastern Ohio Athletic League crowns and the school’s first trip to the district final in 15 years. “She’s been with me since my first year of varsity, so Alex Hawley | OVP Sports See MARTIN | 2B Rio’s Pelphrey named All-RSC Second Team By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RICHMOND, Ind. — University of Rio Grande senior Aleah Pelphrey was named to the All-River States Conference Volleyball Second Team on Friday.

Maxon, EHS Principal Shawn Bush, Chase Cook, Lady Eagles head coach Bryan Durst and Eastern Athletic Director Joshua Mummey. Cook commits to BGSU softball By Alex Hawley +2+A6/CĽ+377/.3+73.A/=>L-97 TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — She’s not done soaring with the Lady Eagles yet, but Sidney Cook’s future will be flying with the Falcons. On Thursday afternoon in the Eastern High School lobby, just a few months before beginning her senior softball season, Cook signed her National Letter of Intent to join the Bowling Green State University softball team. “It still seems really surreal,” Cook said. “I’ve been working since I was 4-or-5 years old and it has all come up to this point, I can’t believe its here. I have so many people to thank. Coach (Bryan) Durst and Coach (D.J.) Maxon have been with me since I was 7-or-8, and I’m beyond thankful.” Through three seasons of varsity softball, Cook has helped the Lady Eagles to a 56-15 record, including 44-4 in the TriValley Conference Hocking Division. The Lady Eagles have won two league championships and two sectional titles in Cook’s first three years. “I’ve known Sidney and coached her up through the ranks,” EHS head coach Bryan Durst said. “I’ve seen her develop into really a good softball player. I think her biggest asset is just her being a good person. She’s every bit as good a person as she is a softball player, “There were other schools that I checked out, but when I went and visited Bowling Green, I met the coaching staff, I got to look around campus and I fell in love with it. It was a great place and I knew that was where I wanted to be and where I wanted to spend four years studying whatever I choose.” — Sidney Cook, Eastern softball player she’s always been a thrill to have on the team. You always know what kind of effort you’re going to get out of her, she’s one of those kids that you’ve always been able to depend on in the good times, or the bad times. It’s been really neat to see her improve over the years.” In her first three seasons, Cook has been named to the first team on both the All-TVC Hocking and All-District 13 lists every year. As a freshman, Sidney was the TVC Hocking coOffensive Most Valuable Player, and was an AllOhio honorable mention. In her junior year, Cook was the outright Offensive MVP in the league, while earning a second team All-Ohio spot. Defensively, Cook has become a mainstay at shortstop for the Lady Eagles, but has also spent time at first base and as the pitcher. “We’ve asked her to play multiple positions and I think when she goes on to the next level, it’s really going to be nice for her,” said Durst. “She can play first base, she can play shortstop, who knows, she might even be able to play in the outfield. I think she has expanded her horizons big time and that’s really going to help her in the future.” On offense, Cook has a career .521 batting average, with 111 hits to her credit. With the 10 home runs she blasted as a junior, her career total for round-trippers currently sits at 18. She also has 33 doubles and trio of triples to her credit. Cook has scored a 101 runs and recorded 100 RBIs, while picking up 46 stolen bases. Opposing pitchers have walked Sidney 31 times, while striking her out just seven times in three seasons. As a junior, Cook had a career-best .704 on-base percentage. “Going in as a college player, I guess you don’t really know what to expect,” said Durst. “With her work ethic and the skill set that she has, I think the potential is going to be there for her to play soon. I’m not real familiar with their program, but she’s the type of person that could fit in their system really well.” Bowling Green State University is NCAA Division I school, located in Wood County, Ohio. The Falcons compete in the Mid-American Conference and are in the East Division. “There were other schools that I checked out, but when I went and visited Bowling Green, I met the coaching staff, I got to look around campus and I fell in love with it,” said Cook. “It was a great place and I knew that was where I wanted to be and where I wanted to spend four years studying whatever I choose.” Cook — who is leaning toward a major in biology — will be joining BGSU program, led by head coach Sarah Willis. The Falcons were fifth in the MAC East in 2017 and improved their overall win-total by six from the previous year. “Coach Willis is awesome, just from talking to the other girls I know that she’ll push me to be the best that I can be,” said Cook. “That’s something I value a lot, I don’t want a coach that’s going to be really lackadaisical and lets me slack off.

That’s how things stayed until Jesus Naves netted the equalizer for the Golden Bears with 18:14 remaining in the contest, thanks to a feed from Matias Pazos. Neither team managed a score over the final 18 minutes of regulation and both went scoreless through a pair of 10-minute overtime sessions, sending the game into a penalty kick decider. Both teams were perfect through the first five rounds of the shootout — and through two sudden death rounds — before Domingo Xammar made a diving save of a shot by Rio junior Harry Reilly (Coventry, England) to give Tech an opportunity for the win. Magallanes stepped up and fired a shot toward the right side of the goal as Rio Grande freshman keeper Luis Rodriguez (San Jose, Costa Rica) dove left, giving the Bears the victory and touching off an on-field celebration to conclude the 2-1/2-hour marathon. Rio Grande finished with a 20-13 edge in overall shots and a whopping 11-2 advantage in corner kick chances, but Tech actually ended up with a 7-5 cushion in shots on goal. Domingo Xam-mar stopped four shots for the Golden Bears. Rodriguez had a season-high six saves for the RedStorm. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

When you have a kid with that much talent that works that hard, it leads the whole team. “I expect big things,” Rosier said of Martin’s future. “I’m excited to go watch her and see the next chapter of her career. She will succeed in anything she wants to do, whether it be in life or on the volleyball court.” As a freshman, Martin earned was named to the honorable mention part of the All-SEOAL team. The following year, she was named SEOAL Player of the Year, and was a first team selection in the OVC, SEOAL and District 13. Martin repeated as a first team selection on both the district and OVC teams as a junior, and she became the first Blue Angel volleyball player to earn AllOhio honors, picking up a special mention. After a meniscus tear in a tournament between her junior and senior seasons, Martin made it four games into the 2017 campaign before tearing her ACL. However, Grace — who will be fully healthy by the time her freshman season starts at WVSU — made it back on the court for senior night, serving and recording a service point. “I’ve definitely enjoyed the past few years,” Martin said. “My freshman year was different, only being in the front row. I feel I stepped up as a player and leader on the court, improving in my sophomore year and my junior year. I wish I could have been a part of the team this year in a different way than the one I had to be, because I think we could have done something better than last year.” For her varsity career, Martin finished with 540 kills, 238 blocks, 735 digs, 128 assists, and 508 service points, including 123 aces. For two of her high school seasons, Grace was joined on the Blue Angels varsity team by her younger sister Peri, who stepped into the starting setter’s role as a sophomore this fall. Located in Institute, in Kanawha County, West Virginia State is just over an hour’s drive from GAHS. West Virginia State is Pelphrey an NCAA Division II school and the Yellow Jackets compete in the Mountain East Conference. At WVSU — where Grace will major in Criminal Justice with a plan to go on to law school — Martin will be coached by a familiar face in former Logan Elm head coach Kris Kern. Kern is the all-time winningest coach in Ohio high school volleyball, posting a record of 762-81 record, with his 760th win coming over Martin and the Blue Angels in the 2016 district final. “She was one of the hardest players that I ever had to game plan against as a high school coach,” said Kern. “After the game, I stopped her in the congratulatory line and said ‘I’m pretty well respected with college coaches, if you need help getting into college, call me and I’ll give you a great recommendation.’ She said ‘that means the world to me,’ and we went on about our business. Little did we know that a little while later I’d become the new head coach at West Virginia State. “After I stopped by Tabi Pontious’ house — Tabi was my setter at Logan Elm and she committed to come here — my next phone call was to find out where Grace was in the recruiting process,” added Kern. “I told her to forget the offer that I made to help her get into college with anyone else, she was going to be my priority. She became my first recruit of this class and I certainly think she’s a gem. She’s a wonderful young person, her family is amazing and she’s a great volleyball player.” In his first year with the Yellow Jackets, Kern improved the team’s win total by eight from the previous year, going 14-14. “Everyone wants to go to a winning team, but if you’re part of building something and making it better, that’s something special.” said Martin. “A year ago, I never thought I’d be signing with Coach Kern, but I’m definitely looking forward to it. I think he’s a good coach and you can tell that by how he built Logan Elm’s program.” Grace — the daughter of Rick and Leanna Martin — also excels in the classroom, getting a 27 on her ACT, while holding a 3.95 grade-point-average at GAHS, where she is ranked 10th in the class of 2018.

Raccoon Creek in Licking County flows through Granville and Newark before eventually meeting up with the Ohio River via the South Fork Licking River, Licking River and Muskingum River. Raccoon River in Iowa is 30.8 miles long, although in the spirit of full disclosure that distance increases to 228 miles when the longest of its three forks is included. To mix things up a little bit, the aforementioned Shade River was formerly called Devils Hole Creek, or Shade Creek, and at times Raccoon Creek has been referred to as Raccoon River. In the late 1800s the “Raccoon River Navigation Company” sought to install a series of locks and dams that would allow slack-water transportation from the mouth of “Big Raccoon River” upstream to Zaleski. The December, 1876 term of the Ohio Supreme Court decided a $500 civil suit by the Raccoon River Navigation Company against an investor was rightfully dismissed because the company was not properly incorporated. Roughly 16 years later, in 1892, the U.S. Army Corps of Engi- neers determined that a series of locks and dams, and dredging, on the “Raccoon River” would allow water transportation more than 50 miles upstream, but that the cost would exceed any perceived benefits and that the Raccoon River was “not worthy of improvement.” The Corps noted that iron ore was transported downstream on the “Raccoon River” during times of high flow, and ominously pointed that the area possessed great, undeveloped mineral wealth, which came to play a huge role in the Raccoon Creek watershed for the next hundred years or so. However, no matter what it was called in the past, the question is settled: it is Raccoon Creek and will probably stay Raccoon Creek as long as our civilization remains. There is way more to write about Raccoon Creek, more than space here allows, but in the future I want to write about some of the hard work that people have put into improving Raccoon Creek, making it much more valuable for people and wildlife in southern Ohio.

(AP) — The low point came two years ago, when the Tennessee Titans were mired in another abysmal season. Instead of big crowds, they’d have more than 10,000 empty seats in their home stadium. Win by win, they’re refilling the place. The Titans (5-3) have become contenders again, tied with Jacksonville atop the AFC South. They’re also regaining their popularity by giving the home fans something to cheer. Tennessee has won seven of its past eight home games — tied with the Eagles for best such stretch in the NFL — and is back to seeing nearcapacity crowds. There’s some momentum building in the Music City, and the Titans need to make quick work of the struggling Cincinnati Bengals (3-5) to keep to going. “We’re trying to get our fans back,” coach Mike Mularkey said. “We’ve been trying to do that for a while now. I think it’s been loud, and it’s definitely louder and louder each game that we’re playing. It’s been fun to have them back. That’s been a big emphasis these home games.” The Titans pulled off a 23-20 home win over Baltimore last Sunday that represented a big step in several ways. Marcus Mariota threw a pair of touchdown passes, including an 11-yarder to Eric Decker with less than 4 minutes to go. Their 5-3 mark is their best at the midpoint of a season since 2010, when they also were 5-3. A win on Sunday would give them their first four-game winning streak since 2009. The one asterisk: None of the four teams has a winning record. They’ve beaten the Colts (3-6), the Browns (0-8) and the Ravens (4-5). “Doesn’t matter to us,” Mariota said. “We’ve just got to focus on the next one and make sure we’re ready to go and try to continue to pile these wins together.” The Bengals are down and pretty much out of it, coming off one of the worst offensive performances in franchise history. They generated only 29 yards rushing, eight first downs and 148 total yards during a 23-7 loss to the Jaguars. In the second half, they had only seven plays that gained yards. Cincinnati’s offense ranks last in the league in yards gained. The Bengals started 3-5 in 2012 and got a wild card berth by going 7-1 in the second half. So in his past two games, the fifth player to do that since the league merger in 1970. No other player in Houston OilersTennessee Titans history has picked off five passes in two games. Six is the most interceptions in a three-game span since the merger. The second-year pro leads the NFL with six interceptions overall. CLOSE ONES: The Titans have back-to-back three-point wins — 12-9 in overtime at Cleveland, 23-20 over the Ravens. They’re 6-0 since the start of last season in games decided by three points or fewer. The Bengals have been blown out in their past two losses, with their offense doing next-to-nothing in the second half. The Titans would appreciate a game with less drama at the end. “Yeah, it would be nice to do that,” Mariota said. CINCY’S IMPLOSION: Even-tempered receiver A.J.

to stop Steelers’ offense INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Chuck Pagano has never been one to play by the numbers. And he’s not starting now. So rather than remind his players of what happened the last three times Pittsburgh and Indianapolis met, Pagano skipped right through the intros and got down to business. “I could throw those (game tapes) up there. I mean, those guys know what it is,” Pagano said. “Everybody understands what’s coming to town. We’ve talked about it. You don’t need to beat a dead horse. We’ve got to play better.” A lot better. Since taking the Colts’ job in 2012, Pagano, the former Baltimore Ravens coordinator, has faced the Steelers three times. Indy has lost all three by a cumulative score of 124-51, the last two coming by a total of 56 points. Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown have masterfully dissected the Colts’ secondary, turning potentially competitive games into blowouts. When they get their next shot Sunday, the tale of the tape doesn’t look much better. Indy’s pass defense is ranked No. 31 and the Colts (3-6) cut their top cornerback, Vontae Davis , on Thursday. But the AFC Northleading Steelers (6-2) haven’t exactly been clicking on all cylinders yet. While Brown leads the league in receptions (57) and yards (835) and Le’Veon Bell is third in rushing (760 yards), Roethlisberger has thrown 10 touchdown passes, nine interceptions, and is ranked among the bottom fourth of the league’s starting quarterbacks. The bigger problem has come in the red zone, where the Steelers’ are ranked 31st in touchdown percentage at 41.4. The Colts are just ahead of Pittsburgh, which still hasn’t topped the 30-point mark. “That’s our goal offensively. We haven’t been able to do that yet,” Roethlisberger said. “So, we’d like to do what we can and put as any points as we can on the board because that takes pressure off of our defense.” What’s the fix? Perhaps having two weeks to prepare for the Colts. Or maybe just another date in Indianapolis. �COMICS 6B Sunday, November 12, 2017 BLONDIE Sunday Times-Sentinel By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane ����� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner ����� � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Hank Ketcham’s � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� "Y $AVE 'REEN Having A Yard Sale?

Detroit’s postseason hopes may hinge on whether the Lions can avoid upsets against teams like Cleveland. The Lions (4-4) have only one remaining opponent — Minnesota on Thanksgiving Day — that currently has a winning record. Of Detroit’s final eight games, four are against teams in last place at the moment. Cleveland (0-8) is obviously one of those cellar dwellers, but Abdullah was right about one thing.

That matches up with a Detroit weakness: The Lions are 29th in rushing. Rookie defensive end Myles Garrett, the top overall pick in the draft, is back after missing Cleveland’s most recent game Oct. 29 because of a concussion. “He’s one of our best football players,” Browns coach Hue Jackson said. “Our defense has done a good job of holding down the fort when he’s not there, but obviously he makes us a better football team defensively when he’s out there playing.” The Lions are the only NFL team to go 0-16.

OH-70008703 322 Adney Rd., Vinton OH $249,900.00 Kizer took a blindside hit during the bye week when the Browns attempted to acquire QB AJ McCarron from Cincinnati. The deal collapsed as both teams failed to file the proper paperwork to the NFL’s offices before the trading deadline. Kizer, who has been pulled in and out of the lineup by Jackson, attempted to downplay the awkward situation this week, saying he’ll try to prove he can be Cleveland’s future quarterback. “I have 10,000 reasons to be motivated to go out and play better,” he said. “Two being the two times I’ve been benched. I have been getting better each week, and I look forward to coming out here after a nice bye week and preparing myself to go out there and have my best game yet.” SHUTDOWN CORNERBACK: Detroit’s Darius Slay has flourished recently in oneon-one coverage against some of the NFL’s best receivers. He shut down Green Bay’s Jordy Nelson on Monday night , albeit without Aaron Rodgers throwing to him, and didn’t let Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown have a big game the previous week. “He’s got an extraordinary level of competitiveness,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “He loves the game.

He’s always looking for the next challenge.” Amy Carter Best Deal New & Used MARK PORTER FORD Home of the Car Fairy Product Specialist �� ���� �������!�������������� �� ���� ��� ��!� ��� � � �� ����� ���� � � OH-70004516 OH-70012619 www.markporterauto.com amycarter@markporterauto.com {AUCTION ALERT!} The Betty Lynch Estate Auction Houses For Rent %HDXWLIXO &RWWDJH QHVWOHG LQ �� DFUHV RI ZRRGV� 'HFN� &HQWUDO DLU� PXFK PRUH� ������� D PRQWK� ������������ RU ������������ that embarrassment last season when the Browns won their next-to-last game. Now the Browns are again halfway to a winless season, so this game is an opportunity for Detroit to boost its postseason hopes — but the Lions are wary. “I mean if you put the tape on, these guys jump off the screen to you, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “They stop the run about as good as anybody in the NFL.

OH-70013354 DETROIT (AP) — To hear Ameer Abdullah tell it, the winless Cleveland Browns might as well be Super Bowl contenders. “They’re a really good team, statistically. Go look them up defensively,” said Abdullah, whose Detroit Lions face the Browns this weekend. “They’ve had a lot of firstround picks. They’ve got a lot of young talent. … You never know. If they win eight straight, they’ll probably make the playoffs.” Right now, Cleveland is trying to win one game, and although Abdullah apparently isn’t counting out the Browns, it’s Detroit that brings the more realistic playoff chances into Sunday’s matchup.

(AP) — Ryan Blaney probably needs to win at Phoenix Raceway to earn a shot at NASCAR’s championship. He’ll at least start up front Sunday in his bid to put The Wood Brothers in the final four contenders next weekend at HomesteadMiami Speedway. Blaney won the pole in his final chance to qualify for NASCAR’s championship race with a lap at 137.942 mph around Phoenix in a Ford. It gave Blaney the top starting spot for Sunday’s penultimate race of the playoffs. There is one slot available in the field of four that will race for the championship next week, and Blaney is one of five drivers chasing that spot. “Our mindset coming into this weekend was really trying to win the race and sitting on the pole. My mindset doesn’t change,” Blaney said. “I still want to go try to win the race, so that’s the mindset we’ve had all week and hopefully we can keep that and I think that’s our goal.” Blaney bested Denny Hamlin in Friday qualifying. Both playoff drivers need to win to grab the final spot in the finale, and Hamlin waited until the third and final round to cut a corner on the track in an attempt to better his time. Hamlin’s lap at 137.936 briefly put his Toyota on top of the leaderboard, but Blaney bumped him moments later. Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. have already locked up spots in the finale. Busch and Truex are in Toyotas, while Harvick drives a Ford. Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott are the only two Chevrolet drivers with a shot to make the finale. Kyle Larson, who has been eliminated from the playoffs, qualified third. He was followed in qualifying by playoff drivers Elliott, Truex and Harvick. With Elliott due to start right behind Hamlin, Buckeyes roll past Robert Morris, 95-64 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Playing its first game under its new coach, Ohio State looked invigorated in front of its home fans as it picked up its first win of the season against Robert Morris. Keita Bates-Diop had 19 points and 11 rebounds to help the Buckeyes beat the Colonials 95-64 on Friday night in the season opener for both teams. “Like good players and good teams, they take advantage of you when you’re relaxed or you don’t have the proper urgency,” Robert Morris coach Andrew Toole said. “And I think every time we did that, (Bates-Diop) took complete advantage.” Kam Williams scored 16 points, Kaleb Wesson added 13 and seven rebounds and Musa Jallow scored 11 points, including three dunks. Williams hit a 3-pointer during a 14-2 run that gave Ohio State an 18-8 with 12:16 remaining in the first half and the Buckeyes led by at least eight points the rest of the way. “Ohio State started to build a lead, and then unfortunately we reverted a little bit to trying to make a homerun play, trying to make that eight-, nine-, 10-point play, and those things don’t happen,” Toole said. The overmatched Colonials struggled to hit shots and deal with Ohio State’s size. The Buckeyes shot 60 percent from the field, outscored the Colonials 66-18 in the paint and outrebounded them 51-23. Robert Morris shot just 35 percent from the field. Jae’Sean Tate, who led the Buckeyes in scoring last season at 14.3 per game, finished with seven points and seven rebounds. He had six of Ohio State’s 19 turnovers. Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann said his team’s 19 turnovers were his “overriding thought” following the 31-point victory. “They forced us into some things and then we had some foolish plays as well,” Holtmann said.

Elliott was on his way to a victory that would have clinched his spot in the finale when Hamlin wrecked him out of the lead. Hamlin said the two raced professionally last weekend at Texas and he had no concern for Sunday. “Was I worried last weekend? No and I’m not worried this weekend,” he said. “Everyone up front is professionals and we all have one job to do and that’s to win. Our objective is the same objective as his — it’s to go out there and win on Sunday. You really can’t worry about other guys. If you’ve got that in front of you and you’re thinking about that, your chances of winning are slim to none.” Busch was eighth and Johnson qualified 12th, but felt his Chevy was far faster. “We made it to the third round and I just got really aggressive in that round trying to run a flat,” he said. “Just got in the corner too hard on both ends and I kind of pushed up. So, could have been better but I don’t know if we could have had the pole. I think we would have only been about fifth or sixth if I had got it right.” Brad Keselowski was the lowest-qualifying Mitchell helps No. 5 OSU rout Stanford, 85-64 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell and Ohio State opened up their season in dominant fashion, routing a fellow Top 10 team. Mitchell scored 30 points and Stephanie Mavunga added 17 points and a career-high 26 rebounds to help No. 5 Ohio State to an 85-64 win over 10th-ranked Stanford on Friday night in the season opener for both teams. Leading 46-40 entering the second half, Ohio State dominated the pace of play in the third quarter, outscoring the Cardinal 24-14, despite shooting just 6 of 22 from the field in the quarter. The Buckeyes made 11-of-13 free throws in the period. “Each player on our team can do something special and I think that showed,” Mitchell said. “And I think we can only get better from here.” In the fourth, Mitchell put Ohio State up 21 with a 3-pointer at 8:03 remaining. The basket moved her into second on the Buckeyes’ all-time scoring list with 2,583 points. Brittany McPhee scored 24 points to lead Stanford. Ohio State controlled the glass for four quarters, grabbing 64 rebounds compared to 41 for Stanford. Mavunga bested her previous career-high of 17 rebounds with 21 seconds remaining in the third quarter. She had 14 of Ohio State’s 28 offensive rebounds. Stanford tallied nine offensive rebounds. Returning just two starters from last season, Stanford struggled to find scoring against an Ohio State defense that ranked 313th in total defense last season. The Cardinal shot 37 percent from the field compared to Ohio State’s 35 percent, but turned the ball over 15 times and had 19 fewer shots. No other players were in double figures for Stanford. The Cardinal’s 39-year head coach Tara VanDerveer is coming off her 12th Final Four appearance with Stanford, however she knew the beginning of the season would be a challenge for her team. Alanna Smith, Marta Sniezek and Alexa Romano had combined for just 12 starts before starting Friday’s game against the reigning Big Ten champions that returned four starters, including a national player of the year candidate in Mitchell. “This is baptism by fire and they have to realize this is what I need to be doing in there,” VanDerveer said. Mitchell’s 30 points were the 21st-such game of her four-year career, but the story of the night was Mavugna. Her post presence changed the entire complexion of the game and mitigated a rather inefficient night for the Buckeyes from the field. “That’s something I Trust the Total Car Care Experts at Donohue’s Quick Lube to make sure your car is ready for the fall and winter weather to keep you safe on the road!

He starts Sunday’s race with an advantage in the point standings over the other four drivers trying to make it into the championship, but he has very little breathing room and a victory is his only sure bet to make the finale. But, Keselowski found solace in the speed that teammate Blaney showed, and is hopeful he’s got something for Sunday. “It’s not where we want to start, but when the track gets hot and slick we seem to run better here,” Keselowski said. “My teammate Blaney is real fast, so I know we’re all real similar and we’ll have a little confidence in that.” feel like I can control,” Mavunga said. “I can’t control getting the ball or finishing my shots, or things like that. I can’t worry about that. What I can control and helping my teammates if I’m not doing anything else is rebound the ball.” Ohio State guard Linnae Harper also had a double-double, with 15 points and 11 rebounds. BIG PICTURE: Ohio State: Friday’s win against Stanford was Ohio State’s first win against a Top-10 nonconference opponent since Nov. 28, 2015. Stanford: The loss was the Cardinal’s first on opening day since Nov. 17, 2000 at Saint Mary’s. HE SAID IT: Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff saw improvements his team could make, most notably its shooting percentage and transition defense. Yet, Friday’s performance was an expectation with a veteran group. “Stanford has a very talented team, incredibly well-coached, but they’re really young,” he said. “As I told our team, when we get to the end of the year, this is going to be a great win because I know they’re going to continue to get better and better and better and have a great season. But we have veteran players, have experience coming back and we should’ve been ready on Day 1. And we were.” Ohio State plays No. 9 Louisville in Columbus on Sunday.
