Candidate visits Pomeroy Democrat Pillich meets with voters By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Connie Pillich visited with Meigs County residents Thursday at the Wild Horse Cafe to explain her plans for improving Ohio if she is elected in the 2018 election. “Ohio needs to lead again,” said Pillich. “I am a tireless worker and I am going to be a tireless advocate.” Meigs County was the last stop on Pillich’s 88-county tour of Ohio. Pillich explained to her guests that she wants to be a governor of every county. She shared that she decided to embark on the tour because the counties of Ohio belong to all of the residents and she wants to know all of her voters. Pillich said that after a holiday break her and staff will be hitting the road once again to go and speak with voters. “It has been uplifting and rewarding,” said Pillich. “It’s a nice Christmas present to me.” Pillich, a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives representing the 28th district in in 2009, graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in law before opening her own law firm named Webb and Pillich, LLC. She also served as a U.S. Air Force captain during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield as well as serving in Berlin, Germany. She has a masters in business administration. Pillich claims to have put herself through school utilizing the ROTC scholarship program, student loans, and parttime work. Pillich expressed that she will be bringing 15 years of executive experience with her if she takes office. She shared she has a mission forward Women’s cancer screenings clinic set park lighting.” Henry grew up listening to Christmas music, which he says his mother would start playing the first day of November every year (both his parents are from Point Pleasant, W.Va.).

Associated Press This year’s mass migration is a bit of good news. Researchers once thought these so-called “irruptions” signaled a lack of prey in the Arctic, but now believe the opposite: Breeding owls feed on lemmings, a rodent that lives under Arctic snowpack and whose population surges about every three or four years. More lemmings means the owl population explodes— and that more birds than usual will winter in places people can see them. But researchers worry that climate change will affect the owl population because lemmings are exceptionally sensitive to even small temperature changes. Lemmings “depend on deep, fluffy, thick layers of insulating snow” to breed successfully, said Scott Weidensaul, director at Project SNOWstorm, an owltracking group whose volunteers have put transmitters on more than 50 snowy owls in the past four years . The snowy owl population collapsed in Norway and Sweden in the mid-1990s, all but vanishing there for almost two decades before reappearing at lower numbers, experts said. In Greenland, where the population collapsed in the late 1990s, researchers found a few nests in 2011 and 2012 after six years with no recorded nests, but owls didn’t come back in 2016 or 2017, when lemmings should have been peaking. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported this month that the far northern Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe. But it’s tough to assess lemming population trends in remote areas. Although researchers hope to enlist native villagers to help, it’s mostly up to owls with transmitters for now.

Charles Krupa | AP WAVERLY — William James Sheridan, Jr., 79 of Hillside Avenue, Waverly, Ohio passed away Wednesday, December 20, 2017 at Valley View Care Center in Frankfort, Ohio. He was born June 19, 1938 in Pomeroy, Ohio, son of the late William James Sheridan, Sr. and Margaret Lee Smith Sheridan. On June 26, 1960, Bill was united in marriage to Rachel Marie Genheimer Sheridan, who preceded him in death on March 11, 1997. Surviving are three daughters, Maria Sheridan Pettet (Jeff) of Pickerington, Ohio, Anita Sheridan (Randy Runyon) of Waverly and Christina Sheridan of Waverly; six grandchildren, Adam Kritzwiser (Suzanne Pyle), Katherine Savage (Jason), Rebecca Simonton, Isabel Sheridan-Runyon, Brett Shadwell (Brent), Tess Elliot (Matthew); six great grandchildren, Britton and Bria Kritzwiser, Nevie Hoge, Porter Savage, Arthur Shadwell and Theodore Elliot; two sisters, Bernice Iles of Mansfield, Ohio and Darla Hawley (Randy) of Pomeroy, Ohio; and special friend, Jean Shields.

After retirement Bill resided in Florida. He enjoyed traveling, especially trips to Europe with Rachel, trips with Sideliners Club to Buckeye bowl games and Caribbean cruises. He was known affectionately by friends and family as “Wild Bill”. It wasn’t uncommon when he was in public to be approached by former students who fondly remembered him. After moving back home from Florida, his happiest moments were Sunday dinners surrounded by love and laughter with family and friends.

IN BRIEF Papa John’s founder out NEW YORK (AP) — Papa John’s founder John Schnatter will step down as CEO next month, about two months after he publicly criticized the NFL leadership over national anthem protests by football players — comments for which the company later apologized.

Schnatter, who appears in the chain’s commercials and on its pizza boxes, and is the company’s biggest shareholder, remains chairman of the board. Christopher E. Tenoglia Attorney at Law Help Right Here At Home OH-70009393 WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy grew at a solid 3.2 percent annual rate from July through September, slightly slower than previously estimated but still enough to give the country the best back-to-back quarterly growth rates in three years. The figure was revised down from last month’s estimate of 3.3 percent, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. The change reflected a bit less spending by consumers, which was offset somewhat by increased spending by state and local governments. Still, the 3.2 percent growth followed a 3.1 percent gain in the second quarter, the first consecutive quarters that growth has topped 3 percent since 2014. President Donald Trump has pointed to these gains as evidence his economic program is producing results. Many economists believe GDP growth this quarter could hit 3 percent or better. Congress this week passed a major tax overhaul, giving Trump the biggest legislative achievement of his first year in office. Economists believe the proposal will boost growth temporarily in 2018 and possibly 2019. But then they forecast that the positive effects will fade, with slower growth going forward due to higher interest rates stemming from the bigger government deficits.

Police said the 32-year-old driver, who was not identified, was arrested and had been known to police for minor assault and traffic offenses. The motive for the attack was not immediately known. “We don’t at this time have any evidence or any intelligence to indicate there’s a connection with terrorism,” said Victoria state police acting commissioner Shane Patton. The streets outside the city’s iconic Flinders Street railway station were crowded with Christmas shoppers Thursday afternoon when a white Suzuki SUV ran a red light and sped up to slam into pedestrians crossing the road before crashing into a traffic barrier. While police had earlier said 14 people had been injured, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed that 19 people had been taken to hospitals. Four were listed in critical condition and were believed to include a preschool-aged child, Australian media reported. Andrews described the incident as “an act of evil and an act of cowardice, perpetrated against innocent bystanders.” Witnesses described a horrific scene. “I was crossing Flinders Street on the way to the train station. I heard an engine rev behind me and heard a thump,” one man identified only as David said on ABC TV. He said he turned around saw “people literally getting thrown into the air as it hit them.” Bystanders rushed to drag the driver out of the vehicle before police arrived to arrest the man. Early reports said there were two men in the car, but Patton confirmed the suspect was driving alone. John Minchillo | AP Australian Broadcast Corp. via AP Emergency medical workers offer aid to victims struck by a vehicle Thursday in Melbourne, Australia. Local media say 19 people were injured after a car drove into pedestrians on a sidewalk in central Melbourne. The 32-year-old driver, who was not identified, was arrested and had been known to police for minor assault and traffic offenses. The motive for the attack was not immediately known. Confusion had arisen when a second man was seen being apprehended alongside the driver. Patton said he was a 24-year-old man seen filming the incident on his mobile phone and found carrying a bag with three knives. Patton said that man was taken into custody to determine whether he was connected. “At this stage, we don’t believe that to be the case,” he said. Patton said the investigation would involve the force’s counterterrorism unit to ensure “that there isn’t that connection, and that there is no ongoing threat” but that the attack was being treated as a singular incident. He said police were working with Australian intelligence agency ASIO and Australian Federal Police and that there was no intelligence to suggest the man was a person of interest to those agencies. “We understand he’s on a mental health plan and receiving treatment for a mental illness,” Patton said. While police numbers would be increased around Melbourne in the coming days, Patton said, there was no increased threat surrounding the city over the busy holiday period. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull sent a tweet calling the incident “shocking” and said his thoughts and prayers were with the victims and those treating them. It is the second time this year that Melbourne, regularly ranked one of the world’s most livable cities, has been traumatized by a car attack. In January, six people were killed and more than 30 were injured when a car was driven up a footpath in Bourke Street, near Thursday’s incident. Police arrested the driver, who was known to police for a history of illicit drug use, family violence and mental health problems. Police said the case was not terrorism-related. There have been a number of car attacks in other parts of the world in recent years, many of them linked to terrorism. In October, a man drove a truck down a New York City bicycle path, killing eight people. The driver is accused of providing material support to the Islamic State group among other charges, including murder. In an August attack, 13 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded when a vehicle rammed into pedestrians on a walking street in Barcelona. London has seen three such attacks this year, two linked to Islamic extremists and another seen as a reprisal attack outside a mosque, killing 13 people altogether. A vehicle attack on a shopping street in Stockholm in April killed five people, while an attack on a Christmas market in Berlin last December killed 12. 2017 ?c`]ĻWl ����CWggW\Z�� �IdZY]W` T h e P l e a s a n t Va l l ey H o s p i t a l Holiday Massage Special is a great gift for ever yone on your Christmas list!

The purpose was to make a Christmas visit with Dad’s parents, whom he had not seen for a long time. I was eight years-old at the time. They had never seen me. As we traveled, Dad had been pretty good about identifying the different roads we had to take. At the time we had just turned onto Route 39 at Mill Point, and was starting to ascend the Cranberry Glades Mountain. When we got to the top, it started to snow very heavily. But, descending the other side, Dad lost control of the car, and we had a very bad wreck when we slid through the railing and down a steep slope. Both of us were hurt badly. The roof had collapsed in get me, she told me the on Dad, and he was following story. trapped. He told me I The family of the needed to go for help.

I think they are The Prince of Peace Well, we have made it to the fourth and final week of Advent. Just like the Wisemen, we have followed the star as we approach the birth of Baby Jesus. So far we have journeyed with the Star of HOPE, Star of LOVE, Star of JOY, and now ending with the Star of PEACE. Did you know that Jesus is called the Prince of Peace in the Bible? Listen to Isaiah 9, verses 6 and 7: “A Son is given to us. The government God’s Kids will rest on His shoulders, and Korner He will be called Wonderful Ann Counselor, Mighty God, EverMoody lasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its PEACE will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of His ancestor David for all eternity. The LORD Almighty will make this happen!” So in these two verses, PEACE is more than just a feeling; it’s a person – Jesus. Throughout Jesus’ life and teaching, we see that true PEACE comes from Him. By sending His Son, God sent HIS PEACE into the world through Jesus. The world may not seem very peaceful to us now, but because of Jesus’ birth, we can all live in God’s PEACE. In Philippians 4:7 we have a wonderful promise about being peaceful: “The peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” In verse 6, the verse before this promise, we read: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and asking with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” God’s PEACE is promised to guard us when we pray thankfully about everything. This PEACE goes beyond our ability to logically understand it, but it’s there nevertheless. When we place our faith and full confidence in God and are thankful in every situation, we will possess a sort of supernatural PEACE. An inner calm will dominate our hearts, despite all the problems in the world or our lives. No one, especially those outside of Christ, will be able to understand how that kind of PEACE is even possible. To them, it will remain a mystery how we can be so calm in the middle of turmoil. This PEACE comes from being in the right relationship with God and is not the peace of this world. The world’s peace depends on having favorable circumstances. If things are going well, then they feel peaceful; when things go badly, they quickly lose their peace. Jesus made the distinction between HIS PEACE and the world’s ever-changing peace: “PEACE I leave with you; My PEACE I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives” (John 14:27). God’s supernatural PEACE surpasses natural understanding, but again, it is there even when we don’t fully understand it. This week think about how lucky we are as Christians to have real Christian PEACE in our lives. No matter what happens, we can be assured of God’s love and calm assurance that everything will work out as He wants in His own time. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Have fun opening presents and being with family and friends, but take a few minutes also to remember why we celebrate Christmas and thank Him who came to earth because He loved us so much! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Let’s pray a prayer together. God, we thank You for giving us real and everlasting peace in our lives. Even though it doesn’t seem possible to be peaceful in our world today, we know because of Jesus, our Prince of Peace, we can remain calm and tranquil always. Let us never forget You are with us whenever we need You. In Your name we pray these things, Amen.

They stabilized my broken arm. Part of the family took me into Richwood to a doctor. The others, knowing that there had been an evident wreck somewhere, went looking for it. With flashlights, they followed the blood trail I had left. After several hours of searching, they found Dad, but it was too late for him, I was told later on. Obviously, the memory of what happened to Dad has remained with me. But, also, the words “be alert to people who have need” long stood out in my mind. As I continued to grow up in church, I began to see more and more the truth of God in that statement. God had been alert to Earth’s people who had need, and, He minis- tered to that need through the Virgin Birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. But, in due course, I came to realize it was also my responsibility to be alert to people who have need, too. I should not be blind to it. That is why every year on Christmas Eves my team and I drive through town looking for people who have need, and minister to their need. Sometimes it is with food. Sometimes it is with clothing. Sometimes it is just with our presence and company. As we have it so good ourselves, it is important to not forget others who do not have it so good. It might be for one person or a family. It may be more. But, always be alert. As the Lord said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

Mary’s heart is flooded with light—the passionate fire of God. Hebrews 12:29 says, “for our God is a consuming fire” (NLT). Where there’s fire, there’s light. Paul writes, “I pray that your heart will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance” (Eph. 1:18 NLT). Mary’s heart is simply full of warm worship unto God. After all, who is she to be a part of God’s story? Who cares about Mary’s heart? You see, the state of your heart determines how you celebrate the Christmas season. Actually, it determines how you live your life.

Wide open countryside provides a much better “venue” for seeing the dazzling lights spread across the canopy of heaven than do cityscapes whose auras obscure the tiny flames of fire that dance year after year attesting to the glory of He Who created them.

LAST MINUTE SHOPPERS SALE Courtesy | Matt Brinker Devin Henry (left) and Jacob Lones performed “Fallin’ this Christmas” at the Gallipolis in Lights opening night event, which was featured in Henry’s recently released music video shot by Matt Brinker. From page 1A I’ve always wanted to write a Christmas song but the problem with writing Christmas music is, the majority of it is cheesy,” said Henry. “It’s great and all but I didn’t want to write anything that’s cheesy or cliche so in my mind I wanted to write a country song that was Christmas themed.” Henry is an aspiring musician, pursuing his hobby and sharing his music with others. A graduate of Gallia Academy, he currently attends Otterbein University and is studying to be a nurse. He hopes to share his music with more people. While not his first music video, it is his first at this level of production, thanks to local videographer Matt Brinker. “When he contacted me about the song and the lyrics originally, the song has a hometown feel,” said Brinker. “It’s about Christmas, and we have the lights in town. That’s a great event I think should be highlighted.” Everything about the video is themed around Gallipolis and keeping it local. Brinker and Henry are both natives of Gallipolis and the video features Megan Wise as one of the actors. Wise, a former Miss Ohio USA, is from Gallipolis and currently teaches at Meigs Elementary. Almost all of the video shot was taken in the Gallipolis City Park featuring the lights and community. While the video shooting took about three days, planning and coordina- tion took about a month and a half. Projects like these are important to the local economy because of the means of social media and communication, according to Brinker. He also explained that he felt the community is on the brink of growing substantially, and he wants to be a part of that. Henry is excited about his future, and how playing music will be a part of that, but for the present he is proud of his hometown and where he is from. “I’d like to thank the community for supporting my crazy process. Without the support of my hometown I wouldn’t be able to pursue this. I can always count on Gallia County,” said Henry. Reach Morgan McKinniss at 740446-2342.

Some view God as a character—you know, like a story character. Others admire God’s character— that is, His distinctive characteristics. I don’t believe there’s a better time to discuss the character of God than Christmas. Why? Because the Christmas story reveals God’s heart for humanity. That He would come to earth in the form of a baby. That He would use the most ordinary people in the most ordinary setting to fulfill the most extraordinary story ever. That’s the character of God. Today, I wonder if you have a heart like Mary’s. I wonder if you have a personal relationship with the God of all creation. I wonder if you realize the power and truth behind the Christmas season. If not, God desires to warm your heart right now. “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:10 NIV). Has God’s love found you? God desires you and me to have a heart like Mary. To live in awe and wonder at the majesty of God. To worship Him with joy. To let the steam of our fiery hearts rise toward Heaven. This is the way God desires us to live—not just during Christmas, but each and every day. Merry Christmas!

Point Pleasant Big Blacks fall at Nitro, 90-42 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com NITRO, W.Va. — One streak continued … just not the one the Big Blacks had hoped for. After picking up its first win of the season 24 hours earlier, the Point Pleasant boys basketball team wasn’t as fortunate Wednesday night following a 90-42 setback to host Nitro in a non-conference contest in Kanawha County. The Big Blacks (1-3) ran into a bit of a buzz-saw against the unbeaten Wildcats (5-0), as the guests stayed competitive through eight minutes of play before ultimately getting left behind. Braxton Yates and Camron Long respectively scored five and four points in the opening frame, but NHS claimed the first quarter by a 21-15 count. It was all Nitro from there as the hosts made a pivotal 24-9 surge in the second quarter en route to securing a 45-24 cushion at the break. PPHS got four points apiece from Long and Trace Derenberger in the third stanza, but the hosts went on a 25-12 charge that eventually led to a commanding 70-36 advantage headed into the finale. Yates made 4-of-4 free throws in the fourth, but Point was outscored 20-6 down the stretch as the Wildcats wrapped up the 48-point outcome. The Big Blacks netted 16 total field goals — including a pair of three-pointers — and also went 8-of-10 at the free throw line for 80 percent. Hunter Bush led the guests with 13 points, with seven of those coming in the second period. Yates was next with 11 points, while Long and Derenberger respectively added eight and six markers. Kyle Martin and Evan Cobb completed the Point Pleasant tally with two points apiece. The Wildcats sank 37 total field goals — including eight trifectas — and also went 8-of-12 at the charity stripe for 67 percent. Qwailei Turner and Ryan Hill both paced NHS with 20 points each, followed by Joel Sweat with 18 points and Brady Jones with nine markers. Andrew Mahairas and Zane Brooks also chipped in seven and six markers, respectively. Landon Rogue was next with three points, while Matt Hill, Joey Buckalew and Zander Schmidt each contributed two points. Blake Green completed the winning tally with one point.

Passed on in the draft by his hometown Browns, Trubisky will line up against them when the Bears host winless Cleveland on Sunday. Trubisky tries to keep Browns winless LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Consider Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky more of a casual fan of the Browns than a die-hard loyalist growing up near Cleveland. He rooted for them because they were the local team. He hardly hung onto every play so don’t think his closet or drawers were filled with Browns jerseys. “Couldn’t afford jerseys,” he said. Trubisky will have a more vested interest in his hometown team this week because he will be on the opposite side when the Bears host winless Cleveland on Sunday. He will try to push the Browns closer to another unwanted spot in NFL history and maybe get even with the team that didn’t take him with the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft. Already the first team to start 0-14 in back-toback seasons, Cleveland is two losses from joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams to go 0-16. The Browns could have drafted Trubisky with the No. 1 pick. They went with defensive end Myles Garrett instead, while the Bears (4-10) traded up a spot with San Francisco to take Trubisky second overall. “He is definitely a guy that we looked at,” Browns coach Hue Jackson said. “He had talent. He is from the area. It turned out the way we thought it would. Myles is here, and he is there in Chicago.” Trubisky rooted more for NFL players, colleges and even his hometown Mentor High School than he did for the Browns. His interest in them was moderate. “My goal was to get to this point and now that I’m here it’s just to get better every day,” Trubisky said. “But, yeah, it’s a big sense of pride for the area, just root- ing for the hometown team and just the love for football and love of the game.” Trubisky said he’ll have about 20 relatives and friends at Soldier Field, as he usually does. While facing his hometown team makes for a neat story, the bigger issue for him is improving on an uneven performance against Detroit last week and helping Chicago pick up a rare win. The Bears have dropped six of seven after a 20-10 loss to the Lions. It was a step back for a team coming off a 26-point pounding of Cincinnati and its most lopsided victory since 2012. Trubisky was at his best and worst in the Detroit game. His 31 completions, 46 attempts and 314 yards passing were all career highs. But so were his three interceptions. A 66.8 rating was a big drop from the 112.4 he posted the previous week. Trubisky overthrew his receiver on the first interception and tried to hit a target in double coverage in the end zone on the second one. The third was the result of a miscommunication with tight end Daniel Brown near the end of the game. Yet offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains insisted he saw growth “in a lot of different situations” and a quarterback showing poise in the pocket. “You wanna talk about stat lines and all you see is the three interceptions and you’re missing what really happened in the game and two of them, we need to have back,” Loggains said. “We need to make those plays, a better decision, a better throw on the two that he can control. But he played really well outside those two plays, made good decisions, you know, and he needs to do the same thing this week.” Charleston, 7 p.m. Swimming River Valley at Huntington INV, TBA Steelers’ Haden, Gilbert return to full practice PITTSBURGH (AP) — For vastly different reasons, two of the Steelers veteran starters were prevented from practicing fully or playing in games during December. That changes this week — and Marcus Gilbert and Joe Haden couldn’t be happier. “I’m super, super excited,” said Haden, the cornerback whose broken fibula last month interrupted his first season with the Steelers. “It’s great to be back here,” Gilbert said Wednesday after the offensive tackle’s four-game suspension ended. “A lot of laughs, a lot of guys excited to have me back — and I’m just excited to be back my (dang) self.” The Steelers on Sunday lost an All-Pro for the foreseeable future when receiver Antonio Brown sustained a contusion of his lower left leg. But they will welcome back Haden and Gilbert for Monday’s game at the Houston Texans. The pair of former Florida Gators teammates spent most of the past month in different locales, with Haden in Pittsburgh rehabbing his leg and Gilbert in Florida training while he served his time for violating the NFL’s policy against performance-enhancers.

He’d been ubiquitous around the Steelers’ practice facility in the month-plus since, getting cleared to practice the day after his team on Dec. 10 clinched the AFC North, a division he’d finished at the bottom of each of the prior six seasons while playing for the Browns. Haden said he did as much cardio as his injury allowed while he was out, but in regards to playing against the Patriots “just couldn’t make it happen.” “When you start covering guys and have to make moves and adjustments that aren’t really under your control, that’s when I felt my knee wasn’t ready,” Haden said. Three days of workouts this week, though, have convinced Haden he’s at “85 percent” and ready to go. “I’m glad I was able to work back and get back for the final two games of the season, knowing we have the postseason,” Haden said. “I can get in football shape.

While he was gone, the Steelers won three of four, their eight-game winning streak snapped Sunday in a final-minute loss to New England. “It was tough at first, knowing you have to sit at home and watch your boys play without you,” Gilbert said. “But I’m still proud of them and proud of the way guys like Chris Hubbard stepped up and has been playing tremendously in my spot.” Gilbert declined to discuss what caused his suspension, and said he would have appealed the discipline if enough time remained during the regular season. “I didn’t want to stretch it into the playoffs (so) I kind of was in a hard spot,” Gilbert said. It especially hurt, Gilbert said, to have to sit out the showdown with the Patriots, a matchup of the AFC’s top two teams.

Green can barely get a first down these days, leaving the Bengals on track to finish as worst in the NFL. Nobody knows how to get more out of it in the final two games. The Bengals (5-9) managed only one first down and 42 total yards in the first half of a 34-7 loss at Minnesota on Sunday. Dalton’s interception was returned for a touchdown as the Vikings surged ahead 24-0. It wasn’t an anomaly. Since pulling ahead of the Steelers 17-0 in a Monday night game that turned into a 23-20 loss , Cincinnati’s offense has evaporated. The Bengals have managed only two touchdowns and a field goal in the past 10 quarters, unable to string first downs together let alone score points. “I think it’s disappointing that 14 days ago, we were 17-0 in the first half against the division champs, had a heck of a momentum going, felt good running and throwing, and in that 14 days now have really turned John Autey | AP file Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton stands on the sideline during the second half of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. The Bengals’ offense was in such a funk at the start of the season that the coordinator got fired. It’s back in its rut, scoring only two touchdowns while getting blown out in the last two games. out two poor performances,” offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said. Things could get worse Sunday when they host the Lions (8-6) , who are still in contention for a NFC wild-card playoff spot. Right tackle Andre Smith went on injured reserve Wednesday with a bad knee suf- fered in the loss to the Vikings. Left tackle Cedric Ogbuehi also left that game with a shoulder injury and missed practice on Wednesday. The Bengals rank last in the league on offense. They’ve finished last only once, in 2008. They rank last in rushing at 77 yards per game, which would smash the previous club record of 89.9 yards per game in 1995. “You don’t want to be last at anything,” Dalton said Wednesday. “We’ve got to get better.” The passing game has crumbled in the past 10 quarters as well. Dalton is 30 of 64 for 315 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions over that span. Green has had 20 passes thrown his way, but he has only seven catches for 94 yards and no touchdowns. The overriding question is how much focus the Bengals will bring to the last two weeks with their playoff hopes crushed, their roster depleted and their head coach expected to leave after the season. Marvin Lewis is in the final year of his deal and is denying reports that he’s decided not to return. “Complacency can set in, but that’s what you have to fight at this point,” Dalton said “We still have two games left, there’s still competition out there, and you want to win every time you’re out there.” Still depleted Linebackers Vontaze Burfict (concussion) and Nick Vigil (ankle) also were held out of practice. Burfict has missed the past two games. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick practiced on a limited basis after missing the past two games with a concussion. Safety George Iloka (shoulder) and cornerback Darqueze Dennard (knee) also were limited. Mixon back Running back Joe Mixon fully practiced on Wednesday, an indication he will play against the Lions. He missed the past two games with a concussion. Newcomers The Bengals signed offensive tackle Justin Murray off the Saints practice squad, filling Smith’s roster spot. He signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent last year, spent the season on the Broncos practice squad, and was waived in the final cuts this year. He’s been on the Buccaneers and Saints practice squads this season. Linebacker Connor Harris was signed to the practice squad.

Dante Stills of Fairmont Senior High School is the son of former West Virginia linebacker Gary Stills. Another son, Darius Stills, is a freshman defensive lineman for the Mountaineers. Another four-star signee signed Wednesday is safety Kwantel Raines of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. Raines had entertained offers from more than two dozen schools. Most of the recruits are high school players. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen says the stability of signing a long-term contract extension a year ago was a key to landing them. He says about half of last year’s recruiting class involved junior college transfers. night. James Gollon added a career-best 17 points for Ohio (6-5), which shot 25 of 55 from the field and made 10 3-pointers. Kevin Mickle, Gavin Block, and Teyvion Kirk each had 14 points. Kirk finished with a career-high seven assists. Gary Blackston scored 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting to lead Prairie View A&M (2-10). Zachary Hamilton chipped in 18 points. Hamilton’s 3-pointer gave the Panthers a 36-31 lead two minutes into the second half. Dartis scored 10 points and Gollon made back-to-back 3s and the Bobcats led 52-45. Prairie View A&M pulled to 55-52 on Austin Starr’s 3-pointer. Ohio answered with an 11-3 run, with nine points coming from the free-throw line, KENT, Ohio (AP) — Sean Lewis has been introduced as Kent State’s new football coach. Syracuse’s co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach the past two seasons, Lewis takes over a Kent State program that went 2-10 last season and won only 14 games in five years under Paul Haynes, whose contract was not renewed. The Golden Flashes struggled mainly on offense, which Lewis is expected to help fix. He previously worked as an offensive assistant at Bowling Green and was on the Falcons’ staff when the school won the Mid-American Conference title in 2015. Lewis’ familiarity with the MAC is another plus, along with his ability to recruit in the Midwest. He played quarterback and tight at Wisconsin.
