Local organizations around the country, such as Jackson General, are joining with the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) to celebrate the day and showcase rural health. According to a news release, NOSORH created National Rural Health Day as a way to showcase rural America; increase awareness of rural health-related issues; and promote the efforts of NOSORH, State Offices of Rural Health and others in addressing those issues. Events recognizing National Rural Health Day and “Celebrating the Power of Rural” are being planned throughout the nation. In our area, Jackson General is planning to mark the occasion by hosting an event which is to include the reading of National Rural Health Day Proclamation which was signed by West Virginia Governor Jim Justice, and comments from W.Va. Senate President Mitch Carmichael and Jackson General CEO Stephanie McCoy. A tour of the facility will also take place, as well as an ice cream celebration. Approximately 62 million people — nearly one in five Americans — live in rural and frontier communities throughout the United States. “These small towns, farming communities and frontier areas are wonderful places to live and work; they are places where neighbors know each other and work together,” said NOSORH Director Teryl Eisinger. “The hospitals and providers serving these rural communities not only provide quality patient care, but they also help keep good jobs in rural America.” See RURAL | 3 Mason PD starts ‘Random acts of kindness’ Jessica Marcum photo Gallia-Meigs Performing Arts Senior Pointe class, performing “Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy.” ‘Big Band Christmas’ delivers By Jessica Marcum Special to the Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — The Riverbend Arts Council ushered in the 2017 holiday season with style on Friday when it presented the Riverbend Talent Revue, directed by Bonne Kreseen. “Big Band Christmas” showed off the talents of local residents with an evening of song and dance.

The Mason Police Department began a “random acts of kindness” event last week just in time for Thanksgiving, and one that will continue through Christmas. Officers are randomly choosing vehicles to pull over, but instead of being given a ticket, the driver is being presented with a $20 gift card to Bob Evans restaurant. Police Chief Rich Gilkey said the idea came from council member and Police Commissioner Emily Henry. After getting council approval, a number of gift cards were purchased, plus the restaurant donated additional cards.

POMEROY — Runners and walkers alike came out to Meigs High School this past Saturday to participate in the 16th annual Keep Your Fork 5k. Keep Your Fork is a run that raises money for The Brandi Thomas Memorial Scholarship Fund that gives two Meigs High School seniors involved in cross country and/or track and field an academic scholarship. John and Cheryl Thomas had a memorial table set up for their daughter Brandi Thomas recognizing the life she led for 16 years. Since Brandi was an organ donor, the event had a booth set up regarding information about organ donation and two donor memorial quilts were hanging, one with a square for Brandi and another for a fellow MHS student and organ donor, Matthew Ault. Participants and guests at the race could sign up for door prizes and those who ran or walked had access to bananas, water, and Gatorade after the race.

(AP) — After more than four decades as a coal miner, Stanley Sturgill ambled into an ornate room at West Virginia’s state capitol Tuesday to deliver a stark message to the Trump administration: Climate change is real and continuing to burn the dirty fossil fuel hurts future generations. He was among dozens of who squared off at a public hearing over the intended repeal of an Obama-era plan to limit planet-warming carbon emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency was holding the only scheduled hearing on the policy reversal in Charleston, capital of a state heavily dependent on coal mining. The hearing was expected to last two days. There were warnings from the other side, too — that the regulations threaten to choke off livelihoods in coal country and drive up people’s energy costs. But despite the locale of the hearing, those concerned about climate change packed the hearing room. Sturgill, who said he suffers from black lung disease, wanted the Clean Power Plan upheld for his three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He and his wife drove several hours from Lynch, Kentucky, to speak because “we may be old, but we still love living.” Rural From page 1 These communities also face unique healthcare needs. “Today more than ever, rural communities must tackle accessibility issues, a lack of healthcare providers, the needs of an aging population suffering from a greater number of chronic conditions, and larger percentages of un- and underinsured citizens,” Eisinger said. “Meanwhile, rural hospitals are threatened with declining reimbursement rates and disproportionate funding levels that makes it challenging to serve their residents.” Mason State Offices of Rural Health play a key role in addressing those needs. All 50 states maintain a State Office of Rural Health, each of which shares a similar mission: to foster relationships, disseminate information and provide technical assistance that improves access to, and the quality of, health care for its rural citizens. In the past year alone, State Offices of Rural Health collectively provided technical assistance to more than 28,000 rural communities.

A rainbow of Tupperware has wreathed itself around vestiges of turkey, dollops of casserole and tranches of candied yam. You have no meals to prepare, and it’s Liesl Schillinger too early to unpack the Christmas or Hanukkah decorations. How Contributing will you use this post-feast glut of columnist leisure? Can there be any question? This is the moment to write holiday cards — sending loving messages to friends and family members near and far, filling them in on the highlights of your year. You chose your cards long ago. Now, fortified by a plate of microwaved leftovers, you are ready to sit down at your desk. You are ready to grab a colored pen and get cracking. What’s that you say? You don’t have time to write individualized notes to 100 people? Who cares? Who reads these things, anyway? I do. I regard “real” Christmas cards as seasonal epistolary trophies, and prominently display them on my wall. I feel bereft if a sprinkling of cards hasn’t arrived by Saint Nicholas Day. I read them as if they were short stories. And I never forget to send out a real card, with a real note, to everyone on my list. As with everything, my love of cards is my parents’ fault. When I was a child, my mother and father endowed every holiday with pagan levels of ceremony and glee, in order, my mother explained, to boost the vividness of our shared family memories — like a color filter you put on an Instagram photo to make everything gleam with supernatural vividness; only, in your brain, not on your phone. We were the only kids in the neighborhood who woke to green Cream-of-Wheat on Saint Patrick’s Day; the only ones who were visited the last five days of every October, in the lead-up to Halloween, by “The Magic Pumpkin” — who mysteriously lit the candles in our jack-o-lanterns at dusk, leaving a small pile of candy beside each pumpkin for each kid. Not only did my parents write individual messages in each Christmas card they sent, they designed their own cards, and they involved us in the process as soon as we were sentient. The first time I played an active role in cardcreation was 1970. I had just turned four, and my mother, who was an ace graphic designer, asked me to do a drawing of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with a black felt tip marker. My fouryear-old spatial sense had difficulties with the antlers, but no matter. My mother transferred the drawing onto fawn card stock, two per sheet; she cut them to size on a flat paper-cutter, bringing down the long sharp arm with a satisfying slicing sound, and folded them neatly. Rudolph’s red nose (I’d just drawn a loop for it), she filled in with redduct-tape circles, which I helped her make with a mini hole-punch. Then she and my father pried the red sticky tape dots off the hole-punch and stuck them at the tip of Rudolph’s muzzle. The cards were a Luddite’s idea of 3-D. That was just one part of their allure. The second part was the mystery of the recipients; they were people my parents had known long before I was on the planet; people whose changes of address they recorded in a booklet overlain with scrawls and codes. After Thanksgiving every year, I would lurk by the kitchen table as my parents sat down to write their cards, and listen as they reminisced aloud, saying names I remembered dimly — DiLorenzo? Takahara? Ginzel? The figures they conjured during their card-writing sessions emerged like characters in a novel. To me it seemed that the cards unlocked a form of benevolent magic, awakening those stories, those people, from suspended animation, making them present among us. Every year, soon after my family’s mailing went out, a fleet of cards would begin arriving. They would pile up in a red wicker basket by the tree, frosted with glittering sleighs and fir branches, snowmen and candles. Picking up a card at random, I would read a letter from a woman who had been in high school with my mother; or from a fraternity brother of my father’s. They wrote as if they were still in my parents’ lives, when I knew in some cases they hadn’t seen each other for 10, 20, 30 years. The cards collapsed the distance between the decades. They paid witness to the young people they, and my parents, once had been; which remained at the heart of who they still were, who they would remain. Upon the arrival of computers, my mother (who, after all, is a graphic designer) adapted quickly to technological changes, and my parents embraced the multi-photo family newsletter. In my own case, I shun the newsletter — my energetic use of Facebook makes a yearly round-up redundant — but I look forward to choosing and writing my cards just as much as I look forward to the first snow. For me, this tradition is a tribute to the singular endurance of communication on paper. These See CARDS | 5 THEIR VIEW Vinyl fills generation’s need for interaction The record player and the Polaroid camera, both antiquated technology, are making a Teddy Crimmins comeback Contributing within my younger columnist generation. These modernly useless machines have been embraced by “hipsters” and have assumed their own spot in a sort of new counterculture. But what makes people willing to pay for such impractical things? I have the most experience with the record player, having asked for one a couple of years ago for my 16th birthday. At first, my parents didn’t understand why I would want this bulky machine that would take up place in their basement. Why would I want to spend my money on the giant pieces of plastic they would have to find somewhere to store when I could have a nearly infinite music library on my computer through Spotify? To answer this question I need to describe my first experience in a record store. It was a hot summer day when my friend Zack and I walked down the streets of Evanston, Ill., to Vintage Vinyl on Davis Street. The cold metal door to the musty room creaked as I pulled hard to open it. In front of me lay a voluminous quantity of wooden crates packed with cardboard squares organized alphabetically. I walked down the aisles running my hand over the sanded wood, stopping to sort through the giant colored albums. It was strange to see album artwork so large and to handle it physically. My heart leapt when I flipped through a crate and found a copy of Van Morrison’s “Moondance.” I grabbed the record, holding it firmly and wanting to ensure that it could really be mine. Zack and I walked to the counter where a longhaired man peered over at us. The man was surprised that a 16-yearold would want to buy a Van Morrison record. He asked me if I knew about Morrison’s earlier work in his band Them. I did not. I walked home clutching the brown paper bag with my new record, gleeful, and with a new music recommendation too. Zack and I had spent a day together searching for records. We had made it into an event — driving to the store, getting food, walking around outside. In the process I had become closer to a friend, talked to someone new about something I’m passionate about, actually gotten out of my house and into the sunlight and learned something about the past. In today’s world, a lot of this would be considered a waste of time. I could have avoided all of this “trouble” had I spent 10 seconds taking my phone out of my pocket, typing in the name of the album and pressing play. I’m not writing this to try to get people to start collecting records, or to tell anyone to listen to Van Morrison. I’m trying to explain why some members of a younger generation are clinging to relics of the past. The difference between my experience in the record store and the experience of opening an app on my phone is the presence of human interaction. Day-to-day life can seem interaction-starved. Walk down a crowded high school hallway and you’ll see faces angled downward at glowing screens. Our wired devices make it more efficient to communicate without ever actually talking to the people on the other end. Even learning can lack a human touch now with the “flipped classroom,” an idea pioneered by Kahn Academy that involves students learning outside of class by watching videos of teachers explaining things. Those older gadgets — the record player and the Polaroid camera — force human interaction. Somebody needs to be present with you to view a physical Polaroid picture; you can’t simply send it to them electronically. My generation’s obsession with the antiquated is a veiled longing for the warmth of human interaction in a world becoming colder and colder every day — a world where I can walk into a restaurant and order my meal on a touch screen without having to look another human in the eyes. Automation and technology are improving efficiency by cutting out the personal and the friendly — and along the way leaving a generation starved for interaction.

See TEAMS | 7 No. 3 Wisconsin won’t dwell on its Big Ten title game past MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A team that prides itself on not looking ahead, No. 3 Wisconsin must now avoid dwelling on its recent past at the Big Ten championship game. The losses against Penn State last year and Ohio State in 2014 sting for different reasons. The stakes are even higher going into this season’s title game, in which the Badgers again face the eighth-ranked Buckeyes on Saturday night in Indianapolis. Win and undefeated Wisconsin (120, No. 5 CFP) stands a pretty good shot at securing a spot in the College Football Playoff. “I think the guys in that (locker) room, they understand that if we take care of this game, everything takes care of itself,” tight end Troy Fumagalli said after practice Monday. All season long, the blue-collar Badgers have shrugged off the whispers about the turnoverprone offense and the questions about their strength of schedule. The team follows the lead of even-keeled coach Paul Chryst . The moment to talk about the playoffs has finally arrived. Wisconsin had perhaps its most complete game in Big Ten play when beating Minnesota 31-0 last week. The Badgers have won 13 straight games, counting the Cotton Bowl in January over Western Michigan. The last loss came at the 2016 conference championship, when Wisconsin blew a 14-point halftime lead and fell 38-31 to Penn State. The 2014 trip to the title game was even more painful, a 59-0 loss to Ohio State. Fumagalli, a senior, is one of the few players left on the team that played in that game. “I try to forget about it,” he said. That’s exactly the mindset Chryst wants the rest of the team to take. The Penn State loss was Chryst’s first trip to the Big Ten championship game as the Badgers’ head coach. He said he didn’t think there was any “extra edge” to players because of that loss. “No … each year, it’s a different team. I think you always draw on all your experiences,” Chryst said. “But I think our team’s got a great focus. They’ve had it all year long and I believe they’ll continue to have that. But it’s about this year, this moment.” A moment that will most likely include trying to contain the Buckeyes’ J.T. Barrett. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Monday that his star quarterback was probable to play this weekend after leaving last weekend’s victory over Michigan in the third quarter with a knee injury. But it’s too early to tell whether Barrett’s mobility might be limited enough that Meyer will have to think about using backup Dwayne Haskins again. “That’s what this week’s for.

Our defense just isn’t where it needs to be. I’m looking to be a lot better than that defensively, because that’s how we’re going to win ball games. “We came out and tried taking some gambles to put some pressure on them, and it backfired,” Roderick added. “We had girls trying hard, but they were a little bit nervous. We’re a young team, it’s a big game and they had some trouble in big moments, but I’m fully confident in there ability to rebound off of this.” Gallia Academy shot just 9-of-23 (39.1 percent) from the charity stripe, but was 29-of-76 (38.2 percent) from the field, including 8-of-18 (44.4 percent) from three point range.

He will be a priority for TCU’s defense in the rematch when his secondranked Sooners (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) face the 10thranked Horned Frogs (10-2, 7-2) in the Big 12 Championship game Saturday at AT&T Stadium. “We’ve got to tackle the running backs,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “We did a poor job (the first time), and one of the reasons is a good player, is Rodney Anderson. You don’t tackle very well, then you’re going to have a hard time playing good defense. So you defend that, you defend the deep ball, you’ve got a chance.” The 6-foot-2, 218pound Anderson has kept it going since the TCU game. He gained 116 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass in limited action against Kansas, and then ran for 118 yards and four touchdowns in a 59-31 win over West Virginia. As electric as his game is, Anderson shies away from attention. He doesn’t have a Twitter account and rides a skateboard to class. He lives with offensive linemen Dru Samia and Bobby Evans and feels most at home with the big fellas up front. “The offensive line — they’re my favorite people, to be honest with you,” Anderson said. “I hang out with them. We go eat sometimes. I’m always with the offensive line. They’re amazing. It’s always good when they block for me.” The linemen claim Anderson as one of their own, though Brown joked that unlike them, everything Anderson eats “turns into muscle.” “Rodney’s a funny guy, man,” Brown said. “I don’t really know how to describe it, but he’s a big guy. He fits in right with us. Whether that just be his swag, the way he carries himself, he fits right in with us. He likes to play games, likes to eat.” Wisconsin said. “And the term around here is ‘laser focus.’ And they’ve been good.

Asked about his team’s potential during a taped segment before the Pittsburgh Steelers hosted Green Bay on Sunday, Tomlin said aloud what’s long been whispered in his locker room. Dungy asked for an answer in “non-coachspeak.” Tomlin, who can be as fluent in “coachspeak” as any of his peers, obliged. Yes, Tomlin considers the Steelers talented enough to win the Super Bowl. Yes, he’s well aware Pittsburgh’s Dec. 17 showdown with longtime nemesis New England could produce “fireworks,” in what he believes could be a preview of another playoff clash in January. “We got a good football team,” Tomlin said after Pittsburgh edged the undermanned Packers 31-28 to improve to 9-2. “I got a great deal of confidence in them. Everybody in America knows that’s a big game. We couldn’t deny it if we wanted to.” So Tomlin didn’t even try, a move that caught his players off guard. Not that Tomlin said it. That he opted to share it. “Obviously I’m watching them,” running back Le’Veon Bell said. “They’re winning, doing their job but when we minus a marquee player or three. The Steelers didn’t lead the Andrew Luckless Indianapolis Colts until the final snap earlier this month. On Sunday night, their secondary gave up touchdown passes of 39, 54 and 55 yards. Even as the wins pile up, Pittsburgh realizes it is far from a finished product. “We just got to limit the explosion plays and we’ll be a top-notch defense,” defensive end Stephon Tuitt said. “Until then we’ve just got to stay in the lab. It’s a long season along the way. Just got to finish out.” The Steelers figure it’s better to learn their lessons in victory than in a decidedly more unpleasant outcome. Two more roadblocks await before they get a shot at the Patriots in a rematch of last season’s AFC championship game. Pittsburgh travels to AFC North rival Cincinnati next Monday and then hosts Baltimore. A pair of wins and the Steelers would lock up a second straight AFC North title, a scenario that would likely turn their grudge match with the Patriots into a battle for home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. It’s exactly what Pittsburgh wanted when the season began. Even though the Steelers haven’t always looked the part, they’ve found a way. That’s all they’re focused on.

Until then I worry about the team we’re playing.” At times, that’s trouble enough for Pittsburgh, who again flirted with a meltdown against a heavy underdog. The Steelers turned it over three times, allowed Green Bay backup quarterback Brett Hundley to throw for three touchdowns and lead a game-tying 77-yard drive in the final minutes. Pittsburgh escaped only after star wide receiver Antonio Brown did Antonio Brown things, namely, a 23-yard toe drag masterpiece on a perfect throw from Ben Roethlisberger that pushed the Steelers to the edge of field goal range. A more conventional 14-yard grab followed, the last in a 10-reception, 169-yard, twotouchdown performance that showcased his flair for the dramatic. Brown has reached the end zone 10 times in Pittsburgh’s past four primetime appearances. “I think it’s noticed more globally when it’s a big stage,” Bell said. “Down the stretch, more people can see it like and be like ‘Man, that’s a great catch.’ But I see it all the time.

Pittsburgh’s difficulties putting away an opponent The only universal optical instrument... OH-70016283 NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson’s rise from two seasonending injuries to become one of the nation’s most productive backs has surprised even those closest to him. The redshirt sophomore suffered a knee injury early in the 2015 season and a neck injury in fall camp in 2016, and he didn’t even start the first half of this season. Since Oct. 21 against Kansas State, his first game in a featured role, he leads Power Five players and is second nationally with 1,041 yards from scrimmage. Oklahoma left tackle Orlando Brown knew Anderson was talented but he didn’t foresee this explosion. “Straight up. I didn’t expect it,” Brown, an Outland Trophy finalist, said. “I told him, ‘Man, I didn’t think you were completely capable of this.’ Obviously, he was able to get over his injury, and he’s came a long way and he’s only going to get better.

(AP) — Oakland receiver Michael Crabtree and Denver cornerback Aqib Talib were suspended two games each without pay on Monday for fighting during the recent game between the two teams. NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan announced the suspensions a day after the two players brawled during Oakland’s 21-14 victory. Both players can appeal the suspensions. The fight was a continuation of a dispute that started last season when Talib ripped Crabtree’s chain off during the season finale. Crabtree missed the first game between the teams this year but didn’t wait long to seek revenge. Crabtree punched Denver cornerback Chris Harris Jr. while blocking him on the first play of Oakland’s second drive. He then aggressively blocked Talib on a running play and drove him to the ground on the Broncos’ sideline on the following play, starting the brawl. “Your actions triggered a melee and endangered various sideline and league personnel, including one of our game officials who was injured trying to maintain control of the situation,” Runyan said in his letter to Crabtree. “Finally, during the ensuing altercation, you grabbed and twisted that same opponent’s facemask and threw a punch at him. Such actions have no place in this game, engender ill will between teams, and lead to further confrontations.” Talib once again ripped Crabtree’s chain off his neck. He also took Crabtree’s helmet off and threw it, as well as exchanging punches with Crabtree. “You deliberately ripped your opponent’s chain from his neck just as you did last year when you played against him,” Runyan wrote in his letter to Talib. “Then, when the two of you went to the ground after a subsequent play, you aggressively removed his helmet and threw it in his direction, endangering him and various sideline personnel in the near vicinity. Finally, once you were momentarily separated from your opponent, you again engaged him and threw a punch.” Both players are eligible to return on Dec. 11. Crabtree will miss games against the New York Giants and Kansas City, while Talib will have to sit out against Miami and the New York Jets. The suspension is costly to the Raiders (5-6), who are one game out of a playoff spot and now will be without a starting receiver for two weeks. Crabtree is tied for the team lead with 42 catches and has 502 yards receiving and a team-high six touchdowns. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio disagreed with the ruling, pointing to a fight earlier this season between Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Cincinnati receiver A.J. Green that led to no suspensions.

The LeBron James Family Foundation says the “I Promise” School in Akron will be geared toward educating students who are at risk of falling behind. It will have longer days and begin classes in the summer — weeks before other district schools — to encourage information retention. It’s scheduled to open next fall for third- and fourthgraders and add more grade levels in future years. The idea is based on the foundation’s existing “I Promise” programs that encourage struggling students to stay in school. Supporters cheered after the Akron School Board approved the school’s plan Monday. New York-based production company Warrior Poets says it will soon begin filming a documentary series centered on the school in partnership with LeBron James’ production company SpringHill Entertainment.

Barrett’s status for Saturday night’s Big Ten championship game, sideline security and the fiasco that Tennessee created when it tried to hire Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano as its head coach were the headliners at Urban Meyer’s weekly press conference on Monday. Barrett did not play the last quarter and a half of OSU’s 31-20 win over Michigan last Saturday because of a season-long knee issue that was aggravated in a pre-game sideline collision with a photographer and flared up in the third quarter after he was tackled at the end of a run. Barrett has “moved into probable” for the Big Ten championship game against Wisconsin, Meyer said. “He’s doing a nice job with all the rehab.” Barrett did not practice on Sunday and the amount of practice time he gets this week will be determined by how he feels. Redshirt freshman quarterback Dwayne Haskins replaced Barrett after the injury and led Ohio State to 17 unanswered points. Even if Barrett can return to the practice field, Haskins probably will get more time in practice with the starters than during a typical week. Schiano, the defensive coordinator at Ohio State and a former head coach at Rutgers and in the NFL, reached an agreement with the University of Tennessee to become the Vols’ head coach which leaked out on Sunday morning. But opposition from a sizable number of Tennessee fans and an old accusation that he knew of Jerry Sandusky’s crimes at Penn State and stayed silent caused the university to withdraw the offer Sunday night. When Meyer was asked for his reaction, he said, “I’m not angry. I will just make this statement: “He’s an elite person, elite father, elite husband, elite friend and New England Buffalo N.Y.

He’s a graduate. And that’s his decision. We talked about it and he wanted to go through senior tackle. That’s his call,” Meyer said. So, does this mean Hubbard probably will enter the NFL draft? “I don’t want to speak for him,” Meyer said. Tough East Division With Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Michigan State all in the East Division of the Big Ten, there is a small margin for error, as OSU found out last year and in 2015. Meyer was asked if the competitiveness inside the division toughens teams or wears them out. “I think you have no choice but that it toughens you up. It toughens you up but that’s where we and our coaches have to be smart. We understand what they’ve been through,” he said.

Accustomed to breaking off big run after big run for Oklahoma, the rookie running back couldn’t even get back to the line of scrimmage with the Bengals. Big plays? Just getting a couple of yards was the best he could do. Finally, he accepted that sometimes that’s the way it goes in the NFL, and things started to change. Mixon ran for a career-high 114 yards Sunday during a 30-16 victory over the winless Cleveland Browns, his first big game in the pros. The Bengals (5-6) hadn’t been able to run the ball at all until Sunday, managing a total of 100 yards in only one game previously. The breakthrough came after Mixon accepted that a 3-yard run in the NFL isn’t a failure, and he ought to just embrace it instead of trying to make something out of nothing. “It’s very physical here every play, and that’s the difference,” Mixon said. “Coming from Oklahoma, they have a great line, you have those holes and you’ve got to just go. Here everybody is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter. You’ve got to keep trusting and believing. Frank Victores | AP Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (28) celebrates after scoring a touchdown in the second half against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Cincinnati. Mixon ran for a career-high 114 yards during a 30-16 victory over the winless Cleveland Browns. “Keep getting the 2-yard run, the 3-yard run, and eventually something will break.” The Bengals deemed Mixon worth the criticism when they drafted him. Mixon punched a woman in the face at Oklahoma. After other teams passed on him, the Bengals decided to take him the second time around. “I love it here,” Mixon said. “I appreciate them for picking me up.” The Bengals loved his versatility as a power runner who can catch passes and make defenders miss. Mixon started the season sharing the role with incumbent Jeremy Hill, who became a close friend. When Hill suffered an ankle injury and had surgery, Mixon became the primary back. Even so, the running game had nowhere to go . A struggling offensive line created few holes. Mixon kept trying to force a big play when it wasn’t there. A low point came during a win in Denver two weeks ago when Cincinnati rushed for a total of 49 yards. After that game, Cincinnati’s running game ranked the worst in franchise history and last in the league by far, averaging 3 yards per carry. Once the Bengals got ahead of the Browns on Sunday, they decided to finish it off by running the ball. They used extra blockers and opened holes for Mixon. On a clinching 75-yard drive, Mixon had runs of 15 and 14 yards before scoring on an 11-yard run . “Not only were we in position where we had to run it, but we did a nice job running it,” offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said. “It has you coming off the field with a good feeling. I like how Joe finished his runs. He seemed to get some rhythm going there and was a physical force. And a couple of those holes were really nice to have in an NFL game. “So it leaves you with a good taste in your mouth, for a few hours.” Browns buzzing about Gordon’s first game BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Josh Gordon’s imminent return has the Browns buzzing. Suddenly, there’s a ray of hope in this dreary, dismal season. With Gordon eligible to play on Sunday in Los Angeles for the first time in the regular season since 2014, coach Hue Jackson can barely contain his excitement in having the wide receiver back. “My plans for him?” Jackson said Monday. “Oh boy, let me tell you, I have big plans for him.” Gordon’s return has brought some badly needed optimism to the Browns (0-11), who are running out of time and games to avoid joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only 0-16 teams in NFL history. A former All-Pro, Gordon, who led the league in yards receiving in 2013, is expected to be activated later this week and make his long-awaited return against the Chargers on Sunday. Gordon returned to practice last week after being suspended for two seasons and dazzled his teammates, who can’t wait to see if he can be the same electrifying player. “I plan for him to play and play as much as he can handle,” Jackson said. “He’s a very talented player. He needs to get out there and play, but we have to see where he is and make sure how much can he handle, how much can he do.” Gordon was eligible to come off the Commissioner’s exempt list on Monday, but the Browns intend to wait until later in the week to activate him. The 26-yearold last played a regular-season game on Dec. 21, 2014. Cleveland’s roster has changed dramatically since then, but guard Joel Bitonio remembers when Gordon last returned from a suspension. On Nov. 23, 2014, Gordon caught eight passes for 120 yards as the Browns beat the Atlanta Falcons 26-24. “Anytime you bring a player back of Josh’s talent, it’s going to bring a spark to the offense,” Bitonio said. “He’s also been out of football for a while. So no matter how good a shape he’s in, expectations have to be tempered a little bit, but I think there’s going to be a jolt in practice, exciting.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
