Larry D. Tucker appeared alongside defense attorney Charles Knight for a preliminary hearing in Meigs County Court on Tuesday afternoon. Rather than proceed with the hearing, Tucker signed a waiver of his right to the hearing, sending the case to the grand jury. According to the complaint filed in county court on Nov. 15, Tucker is alleged to have engaged in sexual conduct with a female who was incarcerated at the Middleport Jail. The complaint stated that Tucker “admitted to this allegation.” Tucker has been free on a recognizance bond since an initial hearing on Nov. 15. Special Prosecutor Angie Canepa requested that as an additional condition of that bond Tucker have no contact with any individuals which he previ- ously supervised. The defense agreed with the condition. Additionally, Tucker is to make weekly calls in to the county court probation department while he is out on bond. Meigs County Common Pleas Court, where Tucker was a probation officer and bailiff, confirmed on Tuesday that Tucker had been terminated from his position with the court. Tucker remains on administrative leave from his part time position with the Middleport Jail. Additionally, Tucker, who serves as the president of the Meigs Local Board of Education, has been asked to stay off school property. In a statement last week, Meigs Supt. Scot Gheen explained that the district does not have the same kind of disciplinary authority available as board members are elected officials. Gheen further stated that the allegation being made does not involve the district, students or staff of Meigs Local. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel. FCC chairman sets out to repeal ‘net neutrality’ rules WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai on Tuesday followed through on his pledge to repeal 2015 regulations designed to ensure that internet service providers treat all online content and apps equally, setting up a showdown with consumer groups and internet companies who fear the move will stifle competition and innovation. The current rules, known as net neutrality, impose utility-style regulation on ISPs such as Comcast, AT&T and Verizon to prevent them from favoring their own digital services over those of their rivals. Pai said that he believes the net neutrality rules adopted during the Obama administration See FCC | 2 Jessica Marcum | Courtesy Rick Werner instructs Woody Will in the finer details of icing sugar cookies. The Art of Baking By Jessica Marcum Special to the Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — Humor, good-natured banter, and delicious cookies marked the fourth installment of “The Art of Baking,” a cooking demonstration presented by the Riverbend Arts Council. Rick Werner and Jessica Wolf presented five cookie recipes, all of which were found in the recipe boxes of their mothers, grandmothers, and aunts. Holiday baking is an enduring legacy in many families, and the recipes shared showcased the wide range of flavors that hallmark this festive time of year. Werner and Wolf explained each step of the cookie-making process, from creaming the sugar and butter or shortening to only stirring the flour into the dough just until incorporated to prevent gluten from forming and causing the cookies to be tough. The recipes shared were Cherry Winks, Raspberry White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies, Chocolate Crinkles, Apricot Bars, and the Christmas favorite, Sugar Cookies. After the demonstration, the cookies were available for sampling and prize drawings were held. Items in the drawing included a cookie jar, platter, a King Arthur Flour rolling mat, and a rolling pin.

Pomeroy discusses plans for sewer project By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news? Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. POMEROY — Council members are approached with a new plan for sewer project 833. Mitch Altier spoke to the council on a strategy to complete the 833 Sewer Project. Altier suggested to divide the one project into two. The project is on the list for funding by the EPA for over $726,471. By eliminating Minersville from the project, the cost would reduce to around 2.9 million for corridor 833 itself. Altier will know if the project can be split by the end of this week or the middle of next week. In December, the council will apply for a small government loan of $350,000 for funding as well. Mayor Don Anderson says the completion of this project will be great for the village and will open up land and property. Altier brought attention to the storm water project for Fisher, Lincoln Hill, Peacock, Butternut, and Mulberry which are streets in Pomeroy that have suffered storm damage. The Ohio Emergency Management Agency gave a grant of $143,500,which is a 75 percent grant. If the village would cover the remaining 25 percent cost of the project, the cost would be $47,000. The total cost of the project is estimated around $190,000. Anderson decided to make the amount manageable for the village to cover at $25,000. Hennessy makes a motion for Altier to advertise the bid of $25,000 to contractors of the project and the council approved. Fire Chief Rick Blaettnar approached the council about his proposal for two new fire engines. Blaettnar is pushing for two vehicles because of the four separate businesses from which he See SEWER | 3 �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, November 22, 2017 Daily Sentinel DEATH NOTICES MEIGS MIDDLE SCHOOL HONOR ROLL ANNOUNCED RUNDLE ROCKSPRINGS — Meigs Middle School recently announced its first trimester honor roll for the 2017-18 school year.

US slaps new sanctions on North Korean, Chinese companies Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Trump administration imposed new sanctions Tuesday on a slew of North Korean shipping firms and Chinese trading companies in its latest push to isolate the rogue nation over its nuclear weapons development and deprive it of revenue. The Treasury Department also designated a North Korean corporation involved in exporting workers overseas. The action came a day after the United States returned North Korea to its list of state sponsors of terrorism. “These designations include companies that have engaged in trade with North Korea cumu- latively worth hundreds of millions of dollars,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. “We are also sanctioning the shipping and transportation companies, and their vessels, that facilitate North Korea’s trade and its deceptive maneuvers.” Among the companies targeted were four Chinese-based companies and one Chinese individual said to have deep commercial ties with North Korea. The sanctions were imposed under a September executive order that opened the way for the U.S. to punish foreign companies dealing with the North. It bars those sanctioned from holding U.S. assets or doing business with Americans. Sewer Pomeroy council meeting in an upcoming edition.

Anderson informed him that once the council knows the amount of money to be spent and of where the funding is coming, they will proceed towards a decision. Council member John Musser made a motion for Blaettnar to make an advertisement for his bids and the council approved. Anderson welcomed Brian Young, son of council member Victor Young, to the Village of Pomeroy Council and shared that he was glad to have Brian aboard his team.

The infamous cult leader, who was convicted along with three of his followers in 1971 of the murders of David actress Sharon Tate and six others, L. Ulin Contributing was 83 years old. How do we assess Manson? If columnist early reports are any indication, it is with the same lack of nuance, the same hyperbole on which we’ve long relied. The Associated Press described him on Thursday as “a demonic presence,” “the living embodiment of evil” and quoted former special correspondent Linda Deutsch, who covered his trial: “In addition to killing seven people, he killed a whole counterculture.” The temptation to see Manson in apocalyptic terms is understandable. In her 1978 essay “The White Album,” Joan Didion wrote, “On August 9, 1969, I was sitting in the shallow end of my sister-in-law’s swimming pool in Beverly Hills when she received a phone call from a friend who had just heard about the murders at Sharon Tate Polanski’s house on Cielo Drive. … There were twenty dead, no, twelve, ten, eighteen. Black masses were imagined, and bad trips blamed.” In a nation now grappling with mass killings one after another, the actual number of Manson’s victims seems almost minimal, even quaint. But it’s worth remembering the terror stirred by the murders, the chaos they implied. Tate was 8{ months pregnant when she died; the killers wrote “Pig” across the front door in her blood. The following night, the Manson family killed Leno and Rosemary LaBianca at their home in Los Feliz, scrawling “Healter Skelter” (sic) on the refrigerator, also using the victims’ blood. I was a child on the other side of the country, and I recall my own fear in the wake of the killings, the disturbing satanic details, the violation of the safety of home. That my children now take such realities for granted suggests something of how desensitized we as a culture have become. Manson, though, was no devil but a human being, as his death makes clear. I don’t say that to soften or absolve him. But I don’t believe in demons; people are frightening enough. Indeed, to accept Manson as a person, to see him through the filter of his humanity, is to acknowledge what we resist: that he was perhaps not so utterly different from the rest of us. Manson’s history was horrific; his mother did time in prison for armed robbery when he was young and he lived with relatives who tormented him in the name of making him tough. In the 2013 biography “Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson,” Jeff Guinn traced one such incident, in which his uncle made him go to first grade in a dress as punishment for having cried in class. A quarter-century later, after his release from the federal penitentiary at Terminal Island in San Pedro, Manson moved to San Francisco and began to collect the drifters and young women who would become his so-called family. One of Manson’s inspirations was Dale Carnegie, whose 1936 book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” offered him tips on manipulating others to his ends. Among his successful strategies? Convincing his acolytes to commit the murders he planned, then claiming innocence since he did not actually kill anyone. This is, of course, horrific, venal — and recognizably human at the same time. Just look at the news; evasion of responsibility is our new national pastime. You might say Manson was ahead of his time, spinning out a series of false narratives about race war and his own messianic status that ensnared his followers. Although much has been made of his efforts to join the Southern California music scene (he befriended Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, among others), it’s a stretch to suggest Manson’s turn to murder was a reaction to his failed rock star fantasies. And those who blame it all on the counterculture are equally misguided. The hippies had their dark side — just look at all the people who got lost in drugs and dissolution — but Manson did not so much reflect that as prey upon it. All he really had in common with the “peace and love” ethos were its trappings: sex, drugs, long hair and an obsessive fascination with the Beatles, whose lyrics he interpreted as a series of coded messages. For those who have faith in an afterlife, I suppose there’s some solace in imagining he will get his karmic comeuppance. But it makes more sense to me to see him as an agent of the hells we create on Earth. Manson was a killer, yes, and he was a psychopath, but he was never otherworldly. The violence and the hatred he embodied may be his most human attribute. David L. Ulin is a contributing writer to Los Angeles Times Opinion. THEIR VIEW Automakers swept up in electric-vehicle rush ANNAPOLIS, Md. — “General Motors believes in an all-electric future,” GM product boss William H. Noack Mark Reuss Contributing announced recently. columnist “Although that future won’t happen overnight, GM is committed to driving increased acceptance of electric vehicles through no-compromise solutions that meet our customers’ needs.” GM already offers one extended-range electric vehicle — the Chevrolet Bolt EV — but it will add two others within 18 months, and at least 20 will be in the company’s lineup by 2023, Reuss said. Thus did GM become the latest — but certainly not the only — car company to reveal a commitment to what is being called the “electrification” of the auto industry. Some, like Sweden’sVolvo, have said all their models will soon be either all-electric or hybrid. Germany’sMercedesBenz will have electrified models of all its vehicles by 2022. Volkswagen AG will invest $20 billion to develop electrified products. In a nutshell, almost every company has some form of plug-in vehicle on its way to U.S. dealerships. And some have many. While many of the vehicles are versions of gas-powered vehicles already in the marketplace, automakers are increasingly seeing the value of producing fromthe ground-up dedicated electric vehicles. Importantly, Reuss, in a nod to stockholders, made it clear the electrification at GM must be profitable. An all-electric future, he said, only makes sense if the company can make money. GM also got a stock boost from its very public declaration that, looking ahead, many of its electric vehicles will also be autonomous vehicles, thus the company benefitted from the “double whammy” of technology leadership perception. What has brought about this movement to electric vehicles? As with most major changes within the auto industry, it has been a convergence of factors. Government regulations — not just in the U.S. but in many countries around the world — are putting the squeeze on internal combustion engines. Several countries, including Norway and India, plan to ban internal combustion engines entirely. France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands are considering similar moves. Many believe that China — largest auto market in the world — is crucial to EV growth. With its serious pollution and traffic congestion problems, China officials are expected to see that EVs are part of their potential solution. Another key factor has been falling costs of batteries and related technology which has made electric vehicles more competitive. A recent study by the Boston Consulting Group showed that since 2010, the average cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen from $670 to about $150. Further, the study says the cost will drop to $70 within five years. Obviously, any rise in oil prices will shift purchase decisions even further from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. Today, even with more companies in the process of bringing electric cars to market, the future is challenging. Less than 1 percent of total cars on U.S. roads are electric, and “range anxiety” — the fear of running out of battery power — is a feeling most electric owners have experienced as they attempt to drive their vehicles a little farther than just to the store and back. While most EV owners charge their cars at home, far more public charging stations will be needed to support a substantial increase in electrification. A true infrastructure of charging stations along key highways, in public parking garages, and at shopping malls will be needed to convince motorists to buy an electric car. Still, the people who forecast auto markets point to recent increases in EV sales and technology improvements as signs the future looks bright for EVs. Energy Innovation, the policy research firm, believes EV sales could reach 65 percent of the total market by 2050. And, with strong technology cost declines and higher oil prices, might go as high as 75 percent. The auto business, of course, has always been difficult to predict. But with GM and other automakers firmly in the EV game, it would appear increasingly more motorists will be plugging in.

Michigan game one of a kind By Jim Naveau jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS — Only a few Ohio State-Michigan games are so special they get a name. In fact, there might be only one. The 1987 game is known as the Earle game. At least in Ohio it is. This year marks the 30th anniversary of that emotionally charged afternoon in Michigan Stadium. Ohio State played the game wearing headbands with “Earle” scrawled on them in honor of its coach, Earle Bruce, who had been abruptly fired on Monday by OSU president Edward Jennings, and beat Michigan 23-20. Lima Senior graduate William White was one of four captains on the 1987 Buckeyes who rallied an angry team to send their coach out with a win and to end their own careers with a victory since there would be no bowl game for them. Thirty years later, White says that was the biggest game of his career at any level. Earlier this year, I asked him if he could play one game over from his four years at Ohio State, which one would it be? His answer? The Earle game. “1987 against Michigan, my last game, Earle’s last game. That’s the best,” he said. “Someone was asking me about the Super Bowl a while ago and said, ‘That’s got to be your best game.’ I said, ‘Not even close.’ 1987 Ohio State and Michigan up in Ann Arbor, that would clearly be the best.” Twenty years ago on the tenth anniversary of the Earle game I talked with White about that week and how at that point Ohio State had not won a game in Ann Arbor since then. Bruce had an 81-26-1 record in nine seasons at Ohio State and his team never won fewer than nine games until his final team was 6-4-1. He was permitted to coach the last game of the 1987 season but the players were told no matter what happened they would not be going to a bowl game. “It wasn’t just that Coach Bruce shouldn’t have been fired but that they said we couldn’t go to a bowl game. We were the first senior class in 15 years that didn’t get a chance to go to a bowl game,” White said in 1997. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who was a graduate assistant on Bruce’s staff in 1987, remembered that week and the emotions running through it on Monday at his weekly press conference. “Rick Bay (OSU’s athletic director) called us in about 2 o’clock, maybe 1:30 Monday and said, ‘This will be coach’s last game. And Coach had his face down on his arm. And I was like, ‘Oh, my God, is this really happening?’ “Then we went out and had a practice. It was a circus, planes flying overhead, people showing up and the band went out to his house that night. It was very emotional to see him win that game. If I remember right, Bo Schembechler went over and congratulated him as well,” Meyer said. White and the other three captains – Chris Spielman, Tom Tupa and Eric Kumerow – met with Jennings but knew going into the meeting that they weren’t going to change his mind. The players weren’t going to go out quietly, though. Lineman Joe Staysniak is given credit for suggesting the “Earle” headbands and his teammates embraced the idea. What they did do quietly, though, was play the first half. Michigan led 13-0 at halftime. “We probably came out with too much emotion. We couldn’t play in the first half,” White said in 1997. “The seniors said we were not going to go out like that. That was our last stand.” This fall, he said Spielman was the most vocal of the seniors. “Chris Spielman gave us a little motivational conversation at halftime and we came back out and got it done for Coach Bruce,” White said. Getting it done has become a habit for Ohio State against Michigan after winning 14 of its last 16 games against its rival. But 30 years later there still hasn’t been anything exactly like the Earle game.

DETROIT (AP) — An emphatic win over a first-place opponent had LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers talking confidently again. “We haven’t had a win like that in a very long time,” James said. “That’s what happens when we don’t let up.” James scored 16 of his 18 points in the first quarter and the Cavaliers made 11 3-pointers in the first half on the way to a 116-88 rout of the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. Cleveland led 73-46 at halftime thanks to an overwhelming shooting performance, an indication that Detroit’s stay atop the Central Division might not last much longer. The Pistons still lead the Cavs by a game, but Cleveland has won five straight and scored at least 110 points in eight of its last nine. “That was 48 minutes of game planning and execution right from the beginning,” James said. “They’ve been playing extremely good basketball. They were coming off a great win (Sunday) night in Minnesota, so we knew that they were going to come out here and try to give us their best shot, and had to be ready for that.” The Cavaliers led 27-22 when James went to the bench late in the first quarter. By the time he came back in, it was 50-30. Cleveland’s reserves ended up outscoring Detroit’s 26-8 in the first half. The Cavs shot 62 percent from the field in the first two quarters and 11 of 17 from 3-point range. They finished the See CAVS | 7 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Marshall redshirt freshman Cody Mitchell, right, returns a kickoff during the second half of a Sept. 30 non-conference football contest against Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. UTSA hands heartbreaker to Herd By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The Herd kept them out of the end zone … and it still wasn’t enough for a win. Jared Sackett completed his hat trick with a 40-yard field goal with two seconds left in regulation, allowing host Texas-San Antonio to rally for a 9-7 victory over the Marshall football team Saturday night in a Conference USA matchup at the Alamodome. The Roadrunners (6-4, 3-4 CUSA) held the Thundering Herd (7-4, 4-3) scoreless for three quarters and used a pair of Sackett 24-yard field goals in each quarter to establish a 6-0 cushion at the break. MU — who entered the game without wide receivers Tyree Brady and Marcel Williams — struggled to move the ball offensively, but the guests finally found a rhythm late in the fourth. With possession at their own 26 with 4:14 remaining, the Herd strung together an 8-play, 74-yard drive that resulted in their only lead of the night after Chase Litton found Hyleck Foster on a 20-yard scoring pass. Kaare Vedvik con- verted the ensuing extra-point kick, giving Marshall a 7-6 edge with 1:31 remaining in the game. Starting at its own 25, UTSA ended up converting four different passes for double-digit yardage — which set up a first-and-10 at the MU 23 with 12 seconds remaining. The Herd defense didn’t surrender a single yard on the next two offensive snaps, which set up third down just six seconds later. After a Marshall timeout, Sackett calmly booted the 40-yard field goal through the uprights — allowing Texas-San Antonio to rally back for the narrow two-point triumph. UTSA — in the process — became bowl eligible while also picking up the program’s firstever win over the Green and White. The series is now tied at one apiece all-time. The Roadrunners put together a pair of impressive drives in establishing their first half advantage. The hosts covered 75 yards in 16 plays before Sackett’s first 24-yard field goal, which gave UTSA a 3-0 lead with three minutes left in the opening period. Then on Marshall’s second drive of the sec- ond quarter, the guests fumbled the ball away at the UTSA 29. The hosts followed with a 14-play, 64-yard drive that led to Sackett’s second 24-yard field goal for a 6-0 lead with seven seconds left. Marshall defensive lineman Ryan Bee was disqualified from the game following Sackett’s second field goal, which also resulted in a 15-yard penalty on the ensuing kickoff. The loss was the second straight on the road for Marshall, which finishes the year 3-3 overall away from Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The Herd has also dropped three of its last four decisions overall. Texas-San Antonio outgained MU by a sizable 355-229 overall advantage in total yards, including an 88-40 edge on the ground. The hosts claimed a 23-12 lead in first downs and also finished the game plus-1 in turnover differential. Keion Davis led Marshall with 41 rushing yards on 12 carries, followed by Tyler King with four yards on seven tries. Litton completed 16-of-23 passes for 189 yards, including one touchdown and one interception. Litton also ran three times for minus-3 yards. Obi Obialo led the MU wideouts with six catches for 80 yards, followed by Nick Matthews with three grabs for 31 yards. Foster and Ryan Yurachek also hauled in two passes apiece for 26 and seven yards, respectively. Vedvik was 1-of-1 on PAT kicks and also had four punts for an average of 41.2 yards. Cody Mitchell also had two kickoff returns for 18 yards. Malik Gant led the Marshall defense with 16 tackles, followed by C.J. Reavis with 15 tackles. Chris Jackson and Davon Durant teamed up on the Herd’s lone sack. Jaquan Yulee also recovered a fumble late in the third quarter. Tyrell Clay led UTSA with 35 rushing yards on 15 carries, followed by Jalen Rhodes with 27 yards on seven totes. Dalton Sturm ran 11 times for 25 yards and also completed 25-of-38 passes for 264 yards. Kerry Thomas Jr. led the Roadrunners with 106 yards on 10 catches. La’Kel Bass led the UTSA defense with seven tackles, while Carl Austin III added five tackles.

Sergei Bobrovsky made three of his 30 saves on a power play in the final two minutes, and the Blue Jackets beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Monday night for their fourth straight victory. Rookie Pierre-Luc Dubois, Artemi Panarin and Boone Jenner scored for the Blue Jackets. Markus Nutivaara had two assists. Columbus had a 1-0 lead entering the third period in each of its last four victories. The Sabres made a late push, but the Blue Jackets held on. “It doesn’t matter how you finish,” Bobrovsky said. “The most important part is the end result and we got two points.” Bobrovsky made his biggest save when he slid across the crease to kick away a Ryan O’Reilly onetimer with 1:49 remaining. Bobrovsky got a piece of Kyle Okposo’s shot off the rebound and the puck trickled across the goal line while Okposo fell into the net. Officials blew the whistle before the puck crossed the line, and the decision remained in place after a video review. “That’s no goal,” Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. “And if they call it a goal, it’s goalie interference.” Buffalo dropped its sixth straight game. Evander Kane and Sam Reinhart scored for the Sabres, and Robin Lehner stopped 25 shots. Sabres coach Phil Housley shuffled his lines, putting star center Jack Eichel with third-line wings Jason Pominville and Zemgus Girgensons and sending the group out for the second shift. Housley downplayed the switch, saying it was not a demotion for Eichel, who had one point in the previous 11 games. Eichel led the Sabres with five shots on goal and assisted on Kane’s goal. He was on the ice for 20:54, up from his 20:37 average that leads Sabres Herd From page 6 the fumble just before halftime.

The team played well on offense at the start. A 3-pointer by Avery Bradley put Detroit ahead 18-17. James, however, answered with two 3s and a turnaround jumper, and the Pistons weren’t able to keep up with Cleveland’s torrid shooting. “He definitely did set the tone,” Detroit’s Tobias Harris said. “Made some really tough, contested shots — 3s.

(AP) — As Kyle Busch walked off the stage following the final race of the year, a NASCAR official told the driver he would see him next season. “If I don’t retire,” Busch said. Ummm, what? “Wouldn’t be the first guy,” Busch quipped. Busch was probably just making a joke about Carl Edwards, who lost last year’s championship then abruptly retired right before the start of this season. His decision sparked a radical makeover in which NASCAR’s longtime stars are being replaced by fresh-faced newcomers. The season finale on Sunday brought an end to the full-time racing careers of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Danica Patrick and Matt Kenseth. Tony Stewart retired right before Edwards did. Jeff Gordon walked away after 2015. The changing of the guard has raised red flags through NASCAR all season long, though championship weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway briefly calmed any concerns. NASCAR crowned three new champions across its national series and celebrated a pair of firsttime race winners. Christopher Bell opened the weekend by winning the Truck Series championship, while Chase Briscoe went to victory lane for the first time in his career. Both drivers are 22 and headed to the Xfinity Series next year, Bell for Joe Gibbs Racing and Briscoe in a shared ride announced by Roush Fenway Racing. Briscoe will share the seat with 18-year-old Austin Cindric and Ty Majeski, who is 23. William Byron won the Xfinity championship while Cole Custer won his first series race. Both are 19. Byron is going Cup racing next year for Hendrick Motorsports and Custer has a long future in the Stewart-Haas Racing organization. Martin Truex Jr., a journeyman in NASCAR, closed the weekend with his first Cup championship . Although he is 37, he beat three former champions, Busch included. Chairman Brian France wasn’t concerned about not having proper replacements during this exodus of stars. “Go down the list, we’ve got a loaded group,” France said before Sunday’s finale. “We’re in a transition. But that happens from time to time. Not usually in the concentrated manner that we have now, but it happens. But we’re excited — we’ve got a great, great bunch of (young drivers) and they’re talented, so we’re in good shape.” The sentiment was echoed by Roger Penske, who has primed himself for the future with a stout lineup. Although Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski are considered series veterans, Logano is only 27 and Keselowski is 33. Added to the mix next year will be 23-year-old Ryan Blaney, rapidly establishing himself as a future star. His buddies are in the Cup Series, too. Chase Elliott drives for Hendrick Motorsports and narrowly missed a spot in the championship finale, while Darrell Wallace Jr. will drive for Richard Petty Motorsports next season. Kyle Larson is 24 and the star at Chip Ganassi Racing, while Richard Childress has both of his grandsons to carry the family race team far into the future. Stewart, co-owner of Custer’s team, has a different view now that he is out of the driver’s seat. He noted that much of the buzz surrounding Homestead was about Earnhardt’s final race, but as he celebrated Custer’s first career Xfinity win, he said the sport is healthy with talent. “There’s a great crop of young guys coming into the sport,” Stewart said. “The sport is going to be just fine. There’s plenty of good talent that’s coming along that are making names for themselves that will take the places of the guys that are leaving.” Stewart then told a story straight out of “Days of Thunder,” in which he claimed he was summoned NASCAR’s headquarters in Daytona Beach for a lecture from France. “He told me something that always stuck with me. He said, ‘This sport has been here long before you got here, and it’ll be here long after you’re gone.’ It really is the truth,” Stewart said. “There were great drivers here before I got here, and there’s great drivers coming behind us.” Oklahoma QB Mayfield won’t start home finale NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Baker Mayfield’s onthe-field antics caught up with him this time. Oklahoma’s senior quarterback will not start his final regularseason game Saturday at home against West Virginia after making a lewd gesture against Kansas. Coach Lincoln Riley also stripped Mayfield of his captain status for the game. Riley made the announcements Monday. Mayfield said he understood. “I knew something needed to be done,” he said. “I put coach Riley in a terrible spot. It’s not a decision any coach wants to have to make, but it was necessary. It was a hard conversation because he wants the best for me. It’s tough. It was difficult and our relationship was the main reason why it was such a hard conversation to have.” Riley teared up as he explained why Mayfield was so important to him. Mayfield started both years that Riley was offensive coordinator and finished fourth in the Heisman balloting in 2015 and third last season. In Riley’s first year as head coach this season, Mayfield has played well enough to be considered by many to be the leader in the Heisman race. “Coming to this deci- his team going, and then they were able to just pretty much fuel off that.” It was 36-23 after the first quarter, and the Cavs broke the game open at the start of the second. Channing Frye made back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 46-28. Harris led Detroit with 11 points. Kevin Love had 19 points and 11 rebounds for Cleveland. Another blowout The previous matchup between these teams wasn’t much different. The Cavs beat Detroit 128-96 on March 14 in sion, this being his last game here — sure, it’s emotional,” Riley said. “He and I have been tied together here for a long time. I get to see behind the scenes what the guy does, the things that aren’t in front of the cameras that the public doesn’t get to see, and I see how valuable he is to this team, this program again, this university, this community. He’s tremendous.” Kansas team captains did not shake hands with Mayfield before Saturday’s game. After getting slighted, Mayfield jawed with the Jayhawks and some fans seated behind the Oklahoma bench. He also grabbed his crotch and cursed the Kansas sideline from his bench during the third quarter of the Sooners’ 41-3 win that clinched a spot in the Big 12 championship game. Mayfield has been in trouble before. He was arrested in Arkansas in February and charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting arrest. The school ordered him to do 35 hours of community service and participate in an alcohol education program. Mayfield also has a track record of doing things to annoy opponents. The past three years, he shaved his mustache into a horseshoe before playing Cleveland. That was the largest margin of victory by the Cavs against the Pistons — although Cleveland nearly broke that mark Monday. A breather Cleveland led 101-62 after three, and the top players for both teams sat out the final period. James ended up playing only 27:17 after surpassing 40 minutes in three of his previous five games. “I played with Michael Jordan when he was 39; he played 37 minutes a night. Karl Malone was 37 and played 38 minutes Oklahoma State, representing a new sheriff in town. This season, he planted a crimson OU flag at the 50-yard line at Ohio State after a 31-16 victory . He told Baylor’s players he was their daddy and he was going to spank them before a 49-41 Oklahoma win . Mayfield has brought out similar antics in opponents. An Iowa State player planted an Iowa flag in the middle of Owen Field after the Cyclones upset the Sooners this season. Riley said Mayfield has been the subject of enough late hits that he has brought it to the Big 12’s attention. And now, this. “Bake’s a fierce competitor,” Oklahoma left tackle Orlando Brown said. “Everybody knows the type of player he is and the type of mentality that he approaches the game with, and I think that it’s something that I think some people try to hold over his head and try to get the best of him.” Mayfield said he understands that he puts himself ahead of the team when he acts out. He still wants to play with emotion, but he said knows there are limits. “It’s tricky because I do want to get my guys going and be that leader for them,” he said. “I know they thrive off the a night,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “Everybody’s built different and if you’re one of the greats sometimes you’ve got to play and sometimes you get rest like tonight.” Tip-ins Cavaliers: Cleveland still isn’t close to full strength. The Cavs were without Isaiah Thomas (right hip), Derrick Rose (left ankle sprain), Iman Shumpert (left knee effusion) and Tristan Thompson (left calf strain). Pistons: Jon Leuer (left ankle sprain) did energy and the passion. There’s a fine line. From here going forward, it’s hard for me to say that I’m going to be that same guy. But I have to be the leader they need and I have been for them. I let them down with my actions, but I have to be there for them.” Riley said he wants Mayfield to remain confident, the same guy who boldly wore a Big 12 champion t-shirt under his jersey during last season’s game against Oklahoma State that determined the champion. “I want him to be himself and I told him that this morning,” Riley said. “The best thing about him is that he is himself. We’ve all got to stay true to ourselves. If we’re not that, we’re not anything, but we’ve all got to try to make ourselves better.” Kyler Murray will start in Mayfield’s place. He has passed for 307 yards and rushed for 62 in limited action this season. “He’s absolutely ready,” Mayfield said. “He could have started any of the other games this year. He’s more than capable of leading this team and being a great quarterback here. He will be. He’ll be ready. There’s zero questions and zero doubt about that.” not play. … Detroit’s six-game home winning streak was snapped.

He was 43. Glenn died shortly before 1 a.m. at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, according to the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office. Irving police are investigating the cause of the wreck at 12:18 a.m. on eastbound Highway 114, said Chelsey Jones, a police department spokeswoman. Glenn, a former Ohio State star who lived in the Dallas area, was driving when the vehicle left the highway, struck a concrete barrier and rolled, authorities said. Glenn was ejected. Jones said his fiancee was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Her name and further details weren’t released. Jones had no immediate information on whether the couple wore seatbelts. Glenn won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top college receiver in 1995, piling up 1,411 yards and 17 touchdowns in his only year as a starter for Ohio State to set the stage for a pro career. Glenn played 12 seasons in the NFL, from 1996 to 2007, including six with Daily Sentinel Duke consolidates top spot By Dave Skretta ragged 78-61 victory over Southern, arguably the weakest opponent on their schedule, that Duke proved on a included 15 turnovers national stage at the and 4-for-20 shooting Champions Classic last from the arc. week why so many vot“We’ve got to take ers had the Blue Devils atop their Top 25 ballot every game seriously,” before the season began. the Blue Devils’ Wendell Carter Jr. said.

The 40-year-old Brady is in his 18th season and has won five championships. Glenn was suspended from the 2001 team for the playoffs for multiple unexcused absences from practices and meetings. The club also withheld a bonus payment because of off-field issues that included an arrest over an incident with the mother of his 5-year-old son. The woman recanted the charges. “I was pretty close with Terry,” said Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who was in his first year as an assistant with the team when Glenn was a rookie. “I think he was, deep down inside a good person with good intentions and a good heart.” Glenn came to the Cowboys when Parcells was hired in 2003 and had a career-high seven touchdowns along with 1,136 yards in 2005. In 2010, Glenn was arrested in Irving for auto theft in what his attorney said was a mix-up over a car rental. A year earlier, he was arrested at an Irving hotel on charges of public intoxication and marijuana possession. “Terry was someone that we all enjoyed very much in his time with the Cowboys,” owner Jerry Jones said. “He was a gentle and kindhearted young man. Too young and too soon.” Glenn spent his one year in Green Bay after leaving the Patriots following the tumultuous 2001 season. “Terry was one of the most gifted receivers we have ever had,” New England owner Bob Kraft said. “For so many Patriots fans, his rookie season will be remembered as one of the most impactful in franchise history.” Former Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe expressed his sorrow via social media . “Loved this man. My son asked me a decade ago who my favorite receiver ever was because he wanted that jersey for Christmas. He got a Terry Glenn jersey from Santa,” Bledsoe wrote. “TG overcame horrible adversity to become a really good man. May your soul rest in peace my friend.” LEGALS EMPLOYMENT REAL ESTATE FOR RENT ANIMALS Adoption Help Wanted General Apartments/Townhouses Pets PROBATE COURT OF MEIGS COUNTY L.

(AP) — Retired NBA star Ray Allen said he is a victim of “catfishing,” and has asked a court to throw out a case where he is accused of stalking someone he met online. Allen filed an emergency motion in Orange County, Florida, on Tuesday, one day after Bryant Coleman told the court he is being stalked by the 10-time All-Star and twotime NBA champion. Allen said Coleman is the one who is stalking. “Coleman pretended to be a number of attractive women interested in Ray Allen,” read the motion filed on Allen’s behalf. “Ray believed he was speaking with these women and communicated with them.” Attorney David Oscar Markus released a statement saying Allen took legal action in an effort to put an end to threats against him and his family, and that Allen was the victim “of an online scheme to extract money and embarrass him by someone who appears to be troubled.” In the filing, Allen said Coleman threatened to reveal details of their conversations, and that the sides eventually struck a deal to keep everything private. Allen said that deal has been violated and that Coleman has continued to harass him and his family through several social-media accounts. Gordon back from suspension, practicing with Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) — Every day he stays committed and sober, Josh Gordon takes another step toward playing again in the NFL. The long walk and wait are nearly over. The wide receiver, who squandered millions in potential earnings and derailed a promising career because of substance abuse, will practice with the Browns on Wednesday for the first time in 14 months — a return that once seemed unimaginable. Gordon was recently reinstated on a conditional basis by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after being suspended for the past two seasons. So far, the enigmatic 26-year-old has fulfilled every requirement placed on him by Goodell, and on Monday he threw with Cleveland’s quarterbacks. Gordon, who has been suspended for the Browns’ past 43 games and 53 of 58, has impressed teammates with his attitude since rejoining the team on Nov. 7. He’s been working out under the team’s guidance, and on Sunday he was on the sideline when the winless Browns lost to Jacksonville. “First and foremost, I’m just happy for him,” guard Joel Bitonio said. “I think he’s in a good place. You can kind of tell that he’s just mentally refreshed almost. He’s been away from the game and I think it was a little humbling for him.” Gordon was poised to make a comeback last year, but after spending training camp with the Browns and playing in the exhibition season, he checked himself into a rehab facility. One of the worries about Gordon is that he will relapse, but coach Hue Jackson believes the Browns have a strong support system in place to aid him inside and outside the team’s facility. “Josh knows that we’re always available to him,” Jackson said. “But he’s entitled to be a man and make his decisions and do the right thing, and we truly believe and support that he will. He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do thus far. He’s working extremely hard. He’s excited about being back and about having the opportunity. I know every chance I get to be around him, he was on our sideline yesterday and it was a treat just dialoguing with him, the things he saw, the ways he thinks he can help. “To me, that was exciting. He’s doing well and hopefully that will continue.” Gordon’s return is a boost for the Browns, who have gone 1-25 over the past two seasons and don’t have a playmaker close to his stature. Gordon led the league with 1,646 yards receiving and scored nine touchdowns in 2013 despite being suspended for two games.
