The BlueMed tent was constructed in the parking lot of the former Mark Porter building in Pomeroy
on Tuesday as part of an annual training.

POMEROY — Local
emergency preparedness
personnel joined together
Tuesday in a practice run
with the assembly of the
BlueMed tent which can
be utilized in emergency
response situations.
Frank Gorscak, emergency response coordinator for the Meigs County
Health Department,
explained that each year
personnel train on assembly of the tent to make
sure the equipment is in
working order, as well as
ensuring personnel know
how to assemble it in case
of emergency.
The tents were initially
developed by the U.S.
Army, and over the past
several years have been
utilized by hospitals and
areas where there may not
be quick access to emergency facilities.
Meigs County received
the BlueMed tent in 2008
through the Ohio Hospital
Association. The tent in
Meigs County is to be utilized by multiple counties
in the region, if needed,
said Gorscak.
The tent can serve in
multiple capacities, as a
mobile hospital, emergency shelter or as a command center. Included
with the tent are 20 beds,
electricity (generator),
lighting, heat, air conditioning and a weatherproof covering.
Gorscak explained
that the county utilized
the tent for several days
approximately six years
ago following the tornado
in the Reedsville area.
In that instance, the tent
was used as an emergency
operations center, with
phone and internet capabilities added by Windstream.
Tuesday’s training set
a record for the quickest
time to assemble the tent,
Gorscak said, with the
time of one hour, 35 minutes, beating the previous
time by about 10 minutes.

MIDDLEPORT — Driving in
Middleport, it is hard to miss the
construction fencing and equipment working at the corner of Second Avenue and Mill Street.
While it is obvious something is
going on, what exactly is it going
to be in the space?
It’s an ATM and green space.
Farmers Bank President and
CEO Paul Reed told The Sentinel
on Monday that the bank is building an ATM on the site which was
previously owned by Kay Platter
and deeded over to the bank. The
property has since been given to
the Village of Middleport, with the
bank retaining the right to place an
ATM on the site.

Sarah Hawley/Sentinel

Construction work is taking place at the corner of Second Avenue and Mill Street in
Middleport. The site will soon be the location for a Farmers Bank ATM and additional park
space for the Village of Middleport.

The project and work was possible due to the generosity of Platter
and the cooperation of the village,
said Reed.
Reed explained that the village

took possession of the property
with the plan of the bank completing the site work on it and building

Jailed coal CEO wants
misdemeanor overturned
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Attorneys for Don
Blankenship and the federal government are back in
court this week as the former coal operator appeals
his misdemeanor conviction in connection with the
deadliest U.S. mine disaster in four decades.
Blankenship reported to a California federal prison
May 12 to begin serving the maximum one-year
sentence for conspiring to willfully violate safety
standards at West Virginia’s Upper Big Branch mine
before the 2010 explosion that killed 29 men.
Defense attorneys say the jury pool was biased, the
prosecution was politically motivated and trial judge’s
rulings were unfair.
Other coal mining executives have a different concern: Industry groups from Illinois, Ohio and West
Virginia ﬁled a brief urging the appeals court to avoid
setting a precedent they fear could unfairly expose
them and other mining leaders to criminal conspiracy
charges. We “cannot sit idly by and allow the expansion of criminal law to the point that mere involvement of company management in certain affairs can
serve as a basis, in whole or in part, for criminal prosecution,” they wrote.

Longtime OU professor named fall commencement speaker
ATHENS — Dr. Jenny
Chabot, associate professor of child and family
studies in the College of
Health Sciences and
Professions, will address
graduates as Ohio University’s fall 2016 Commencement speaker on Saturday,
Dec. 10, at 2 p.m. in the
Convocation Center on
the Athens Campus.
Dr. Chabot is a Certiﬁed
Child Life Specialist, having completed her clinical
training in the child life,
creative arts and education
department at Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia.
She began her career as a
professor at Ohio University in 1998. Dr. Chabot is
currently the coordinator
of child and family studies and the CFS graduate

program, and oversees
the child life specialist
academic program in the
department of social and
public health.
“We are honored to have
one of our faculty members play such a pivotal
role on graduation day,”
said Ohio University President Roderick J. McDavis.
“I know our graduates will
enjoy Dr. Chabot’s inspirational and encouraging
remarks as they celebrate
this notable milestone in
their lives.”
Dr. Chabot earned her
doctorate from Michigan
State University in child
and family development,
and is an active member

abroad program, bringing
students for a monthlong experience in 2009,
2011, 2013, and 2016. Dr.
Chabot’s focus of research
includes ambiguous loss
found in the hospitalization experience for
patients, siblings, and
parents; how families navigate their lives as they parent a hospitalized child;
and the role emotion work
plays in child life professional work.

During her remarks,
Dr. Chabot said she hopes
to encourage graduates
to embrace unexpected
opportunities – and always
remember to return to
Athens.
“I would love for them
to really understand that
doors will continue to
open for them post-graduation that could lead to
areas they never expected
to be in, both professionally and personally,” Dr.
Chabot said. “I would ask
that they don’t leave any
of those doors unopened.
I would wish for them that
every time they make a
trip back to Athens and
Ohio, that their heart
beats in their chest so fast
because they are so excited to be back for a visit.”

Cleveland OKs 1-year moratorium
on medical marijuana permits

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jay Z is planning to hold a free concert in Cleveland
to encourage people to vote for Democrat
Hillary Clinton for president.
The rapper has released few details
on the Nov. 4 show, held days before the
Nov. 8 election, but says it will include
special guests. Tickets will be distributed
beginning Friday.
Cleveland was also the site of a free
get-out-the-vote concert Jay Z held in support of Democrat Barack Obama just days
before he was elected president in 2008.
Jay Z was joined by Cavaliers star LeBron James and 20,000 fans for that gathering at Quicken Loans Arena.
The stadium was also the site of the
Republican National Convention in July.
Recent polls have shown Ohio is considered a toss-up between Clinton and
Republican nominee Donald Trump.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland has
joined the growing list of Ohio cities
that have enacted moratoriums that for
now prohibit permits and licenses to
be issued for medical marijuana-related
businesses.
The legislation approved Monday
by the Cleveland City Council calls
for a one-year moratorium. More than
50 Ohio cities have approved similar
moratoriums that vary in length from
six months to two years. More cities are
expected to follow suit.
State lawmakers earlier this year
made it legal for doctors to recommend
medical marijuana use for patients with
various medical conditions. The law
also allows cities to limit where medical
marijuana businesses can locate and to
prohibit them completely.
The new law state law requires the
Ohio’s medical marijuana program to be
up and running by September 2018.

Ohio, Illinois governors place
bets over Cubs-Indians series Cyprus joins in objecting to
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The
Republican governors of Illinois and
Ohio are betting cases of beer, pizza
and other ballpark favorites on the
World Series beginning Tuesday
between the Cubs and the Indians.
On his Twitter page Monday, Illinois
Gov. Bruce Rauner wagered a Chicagostyle deep-dish pizza and microbrew
beer from Chicago if Cleveland wins.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich returned the
challenge on his Twitter page , promising to send Rauner “fan favorites” if
Chicago wins. A Kasich spokeswoman
says those would include items such as
local beer and ballpark mustard from
Cleveland.
The states’ two Democratic U.S. senators also made a beer wager with one
another, as did their Republican counterparts. The Illinois lawmakers get
beer from Cleveland if the Cubs win,
and the Ohioans get Chicago beer if the
Indians triumph.

Ohio museum’s antiquities sale
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The government of Cyprus is objecting to an Ohio
museum’s sale of antiquities from the east
Mediterranean island.
The Toledo Museum of Art also had
pieces from Egypt, Greece and Italy among
the 68 to be sold in a New York auction on
Tuesday and an online sale closing that day.
A nationally known archaeologist criticized the sale, and Egyptian ofﬁcials sought
to stop it and have the items from Egypt
returned there.
The Blade newspaper reports Cyprus’
ambassador to the United States also
objected Monday, asking that the sale be
postponed and the museum reconsider
keeping the items.
Its director says the museum respects
others’ viewpoints but sometimes sells
items to maintain a high-quality collection.
He says this sale was expected to generate
$500,000 to be put toward acquisitions.

THEIR VIEW

We can always
keep company
with our memories
Among a treasure trove of ancestral writings I’ve discovered in drawers, attics and
elsewhere, I want to share two that put a
pleasant glaze on old age.
Since we’re all headed in that direction —
if not already there — you may ﬁnd these
writings of interest.
Eunice Ferris Frazier wrote eloquently
about her grandparents, Dan and Eunice,
who, as children, had both lost one of their
parents to the rigors of frontier life. Dan’s
father froze to death bringing salt back from
the fort. Eunice’s mother died the next year,
her four young children then being “bound
out” to other families to be raised. When Dan
died after 60 years of marriage, her granddaughter watched Eunice weather the years
of widowhood that followed.
“Grandmother sits in her armchair by the
ﬁre and knits. And often her
knitting is forgotten, her hands
falling idly into her lap while she
recalls the past. She takes up the
threads of lives that had crossed
hers and weaves anew their histories till she loses them in the distance or ﬁnds them sinking into
James F. the valleys where there is rest to
Burns
the labor and peace to the pain.
Contributing
“There are winters with their
Columnist
ﬁerce storms without, but ﬁres
shining brightly within — and
the spring times with their singing birds and
the breath of orchards. She feels the breezes
fan her grey hair that once made sunny coils
smoothed by hands that are now in the grave.
And her face lights up with a holy joy as her
dim eyes see clearly through the trees to a
day breaking bright and fair, where those
hands are waiting to clasp hers for life eternal.”
Those gentle hands that smoothed down
Eunice’s curls as a young woman belonged
to Dan Hosbrook, a teacher who had met
her as a student in his frontier school of the
early 1800s. One of Eunice’s brothers, Moses
K., had been bound out to Dan’s family, and
the two boys grew up together, bonding like
brothers. When Moses died at age 21, Dan
grieved for years over the loss. Meanwhile,
he had gone on from teaching to becoming a
state legislator and county surveyor in Ohio.
Eunice’s other brother, Hervey Bates, had
been bound out to a family who ran a store
and small post ofﬁce. Hervey quickly mastered both and was soon running the post
ofﬁce at age 15. His talents and ambition
took him to Indiana, where he became a
founding father of Indianapolis and a leader
in banking, insurance and railroads.
Hervey built Bates House, the state’s ﬁnest
hotel and where Mr. Lincoln stayed on his
way to Washington to be inaugurated president. On the eve of the Civil War, Lincoln’s
speech from the balcony of Bates House is
commemorated by a historical marker.
Now in his own stages of old age and
decline, Hervey Bates wrote a touching letter to Dan’s son, Mahlon Hosbrook, about
the burials of his sister — Mahlon’s mother,
Eunice — and his brother, Moses, who had
bonded so tightly with Mahlon’s father, Dan.
Moses had been interred on the Hosbrook
family farm, but a regular cemetery had just
opened up in the area.
“Indianapolis, March 1870. Dear Mahlon,
grateful am I to you my friend that you have
undertaken to gather up the dust of my
deceased brother and lay it in your lot in the
Cemetery where my sister, your aged mother,
together with yourself and family will probably at some future day be joined in the silent
circle …
“There existed between your father and
my brother in their early years an affectionate regard, a warm friendship passing common. It is therefore ﬁtting they should thus
sleep side by side. Now in my 76th year, it is
hard for me to write. The grasshoppers have
become a burden. Very Truly your Friend, H.
Bates.”
Though himself a banker and builder, Hervey’s reference was to an agrarian menace of
grasshoppers that literally plagued his farming cousins. Wisdom of words intersects with
the accumulation of life experiences, per his
phrase of us all someday “joining in the silent
circle.”
That’s perhaps an unpleasant thought, and
many may fear loneliness in later years as
dear ones die off. But be of good cheer for,
as Eunice did when her mind wandered off
to sweet scenes of the past, we can always
keep company with our memories. May
they include singing birds, the fragrance of
orchards, and warm friendships passing common.
James F. Burns, a Hosbrook descendant and Ohio native, is a
professor emeritus at the University of Florida.

THEIR VIEW

Will Hillary concede the election?
While Donald Trump
is the one who endlessly
gets asked the question,
let’s be honest, the candidate most likely not to
accept the results of the
presidential election is
Hillary Clinton, should
she come out on the losing side.
If Donald Trump is
declared the winner on
the evening of Nov. 8,
can anyone really imagine Hillary stepping in
front of the cameras and
microphones, conceding
the election, congratulating Trump and wishing
him well?
Uh, no.
No, if Trump wins,
what we can expect from
the Clinton campaign
— with its water carried
by most of the national
mainstream media —
are endless allegations
of voter suppression,
shenanigans in minority
precincts, interference by
the Russians, and improprieties by Republican
secretaries of state and
other GOP election ofﬁcials. Those claims will
be substantiated by the
New York Times, Washington Post, and all the
broadcast TV networks,
all of whom will offer
“facts” backing up Clinton’s allegations.
It is also not a stretch
to imagine a scenario
where, if Trump is victorious, the national mainstream media and the
Clinton campaign will
encourage the Trump
electors in each state —
remember, when we vote
on Election Day, we are
voting for presidential
electors, not the candidates themselves — to
become “faithless electors” and instead cast

their votes for Hillary,

It’s not difﬁcult to
believe that Donald
Trump has acted inappropriately toward
women, since he bragged
about it to Billy Bush in a
now infamous taped conversation. What’s impossible to believe is that his
victims only now became
spontaneously motivated
to come forward. Can
we all just acknowledge
the obvious fact that the
Clinton campaign, the
Democratic Party and
their media allies have
been planning the October revelations since the
summer of 2015?
Trump will be Trump.
He may be obnoxious,
but he is about as open
and real as anyone
who has ever run for
president. Hillary, by
comparison, couldn’t be
more carefully wrapped
and packaged if she came
with a child-proof cap.
What Trump supporters like most is that he
is someone who is the
opposite of a poll-tested
candidate with a focusgroup message. If he
loses, he will be the last
authentic candidate for
generations to come.
It’s likely that on Election Night no one will
be able to conclusively
report who won the presidency, because neither
side is likely to concede
it. The U.S. Supreme
Court should be on high
alert, because the election is almost certainly
coming its way.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio
— Simply put, they may
have had their tickets
punched last, but the Gallia Academy High School
cross country clubs still
got themselves a seat at
the table.
That’s because both
the Blue Devils and Blue
Angels advanced as teams
to the Division II regional
meet, having clinched
the ﬁnal qualifying spots
from Saturday’s Southeast District meet at the
University of Rio Grande.
The Gallia Academy
boys placed eighth out of
23 schools which posted
team scores, while the
Gallia Academy girls
were seventh out of 18
groups.
Unlike past years, when
there were two Division
II races for both boys and
girls, Saturday’s district
meet featured one large
race for the boys and one
large race for the girls.
How large you ask?
There were 167 runners for the boys and 132
for the girls — and the
maximum number of runners any team could have
was seven.
For the boys meet, the
top eight teams and those
individuals which ﬁnished in the top 32 qualiﬁed for the regional meet
at Pickerington North.
For the girls, it was the
top seven squads — and
individuals among the
top 28.
By the Blue Devils

grabbing that eighth and
ﬁnal team spot, they prevented River Valley from
taking it.
The Blue Devils had a
team score of 212, while
the Raiders tallied a total
of 220.
The key was Gallia
Academy crossing its
ﬁrst three runners in
18th, 20th and 25thplace, while the Raiders’
Nathaniel Abbott was
sixth overall — but the
next ﬁve runners all
ﬁnished from 42nd thru
72nd.
Meigs was 13th in the
Division II boys with 374
points, as Sheridan won
the team championship
with a score of 76.
Unioto was the runnerup at 92, followed by
Waverly (160), Marietta
(175), Athens (176),
Warren (178) and Fairland (193) for the next
qualifying spots.
Kaleb Crisenbery (18th
in 17:26), Caleb Greenlee
(20th in 17:28) and Kyle
Greenlee (25th in 17:33)
paced Gallia Academy —
with Devon Barnes (64th
in 18:39) and Ezra Blain
(95th in 19:24) being the
other two counting times.
The Blue Devils’ other
two runners — juniors
Kobe Cochran (102nd
in 19:40) and Ethan
Rider (103rd in 19:41)
— crossed the ﬁnish line
back-to-back.
The junior Abbott of
River Valley, who was
sixth overall, completed
the Rio Grande 5K course
in 16 minutes and 59 sec-

onds — thus advancing
him to the regional meet
for the second straight
year.
Rounding out the Raiders were senior Chance
Gillman (42nd in 18:13),
senior Garrett Young
(47th in 18:19), junior
George Rickett (67th
in 18:43), junior Kyle
Coen (71st in 18:53),
sophomore Rory Twyman
(72nd in 18:54) and sophomore Caleb McKnight
(131st in 20:50).
Joining Abbott as a
qualifying individual was
Meigs senior James Parsons, as Parsons placed
29th in 17 minutes and
46 seconds.
The Marauders’ next
two runners were sophomore Cole Betzing (51st
in 18:22) and senior Dillon Mahr (84th in 19:16),
while Landon Davis
(113th in 20:02), Nate
Hoover (121st in 20:12),
Colton Heater (123rd in
20:14) and Joseph Cotterill (125th in 20:23)
rounded out the Maroon
and Gold.
Luke Brown of Sheridan was the Division II
boys individual race winner in 16 minutes and 25
seconds.
On the girls side, Gallia Academy (221) edged
out Waverly (226) by a
mere ﬁve points for the
ﬁnal team qualifying spot.
The top six qualifying
squads were Fairﬁeld
Union (61), Athens (96),
Sheridan (101), Unioto
(112), Vinton County
(161) and Chillicothe

(181).
Meigs mustered a team
score of 269 for an 11thplace effort.
The Blue Angels
amounted three individual places among the
top 24, paced by senior
Mary Watts, who crossed
the ﬁnish line in 15thplace in 20 minutes and
39 seconds.
The next two GAHS
runners crossed the line
back-to-back — senior
Mesa Polcyn in 23rd
(21:11) and freshman
Brooke Johnson in 24th
(21:12).
The ﬁnal four Blue
Angels included Abby
Johnson (65th in 23:38),
Cassidy Starnes (100th in
26:15), Abby Cremeans
(111th in 27:11) and
Caitlin Caldwell (113th in
27:15).
The Lady Marauders’
top two runners were
junior Caitlyn Rest (31st
in 21:57) and senior
Gracie Hoffman (36th in
22:10), while sophomores
Madison Cremeans (55th
in 23:06) and Taylor
Swartz (62nd in 23:31)
were next.
Meigs’ ﬁnal three
competitors were Ariann
Sizemore (91st in 25:35),
Marissa Noble (92nd
in 25:39) and Carmen
Doherty (103rd in 26:35).
Fairﬁeld Union swept
the top two individual

‘The sun came
Can LSU’s Fournette make a run at Jackson?
up’ for Buckeyes
after loss
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — If there is panic
and unrest in the Ohio State camp after Saturday’s upset loss to Penn State, nobody was displaying it Monday.
Coach Urban Meyer said he doesn’t foresee
any major personnel changes or adjustments in
play calling. Quarterback J.T. Barrett said he’s
not particularly worried about the passing game,
which struggled in the 24-21 loss at Happy Valley. The message: Whatever problems there were
can be ﬁxed, and all of Ohio State’s goals are still
attainable.
“The sun came up,” guard Billy Price said.
“We’ve been here before. (Losing) isn’t an occurrence that happens often, but we grow from this,
we get tighter together and we focus in on us,
and we don’t worry about anything else. Because
everybody is a couch coach. Everybody thinks
they have the whistle, but we need to focus in on
who we are.”
Maybe there’s no panic, but there is plenty to
be concerned about after Ohio State (6-1, 3-1 Big
Ten) dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 in the AP Top
25 poll as the result of the loss, which was only
the ﬁfth of the Urban Meyer era.
Receivers struggled to separate from defenders, and Barrett ran for his life much of the time
from pass rushers his offensive line struggled to
block. Barrett was sacked six times, including
twice on the ﬁnal drive to end the game. The
run game bogged down, averaging fewer than 5
yards per carry. A blocked Ohio State ﬁeld goal
attempt led to a Penn State touchdown. Ohio
State had a punt blocked, too.

The LSU running back
is coming off one of the
most impressive individual performances of the

ﬁeld, averaging 8.1 per
carry and scoring ﬁve
touchdowns.
Fournette was one of
the headliners in a starstudded Heisman ﬁeld
entering the season. They
have all been overtaken
by Louisville quarterback
Lamar Jackson.
Clemson’s Deshaun
Watson is still drawing
considerable Heisman
attention, but other big
names have fallen off.
Last season’s Heisman
runner-up, Christian
McCaffrey of Stanford,
has missed games with
injuries and been unable
to cut loose in the Cardinal’s struggle offense.
Houston quarterback
Greg Ward has slipped
out of the race with the
Cougars losing two of
three.
Florida State’s Dalvin
Cook is in position to
make a late push. Ohio
State’s J.T. Barrett can
likely do the same.
How about Fournette?
With high-proﬁle games
left against Alabama,
No. 14 Florida and No.
9 Texas A&amp;M and the
possibility of leading his
team to the SEC championship game, don’t rule

victory at Marshall, on September 24.

tion on Dec. 10.
Here’s how AP college
football writers rank the
Heisman contenders
going into Week 9:
1. Lamar Jackson, QB,
Louisville (21 points)
Last week: Jackson
went off on North Carolina State for 431 yards,
with three TD passes and
a touchdown run.
This week: at Virginia.
The Cavaliers are third
from the bottom in the
ACC in defense (6.17
yards per play allowed).
Expect another big game
for Jackson.
2 (tie). Jake Browning, QB, Washington (10
points)
Last week: The sophomore threw three touchdown passes and ran for a
score in a rout of Oregon
State. He only completed
50 percent of his throws,
which dropped his passer
rating to second in the
country (199.62), but still
on pace to set a singleseason record.
This week: at No. 17
Utah. The Utes are in the
middle of the Pac-12 pack
defensively in yards per
play (5.76, seventh in the
conference), but they lead
league with 14 intercep-

tions and are fourth in
sacks with 22.
2 (tie). Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson (10
points)
Last week: Off.
This week: at No.
12 Florida State. The
Seminoles defense has
struggled mightily when
facing big-time offenses,
including Louisville and
Jackson. This is a chance
for Watson to make up
some ground on Jackson,
but the Cardinals’ quarterback has already set a
high bar against Florida
State.
4. Donnel Pumphrey,
RB, San Diego State (1
point)
Last week: The senior
had a pedestrian, for
him, 135 yards rushing
and two touchdowns in a
victory against San Jose
State, but is still leading
the country in rushing by
34 yards per game.
This week: at Utah
State. The Aggies are 3-4,
but have one of the better
defenses in the Mountain
West. They rank third
against the run (3.61
yards per carry) and overall (4.97 per play).
Four more to watch
(other than Fournette)

Dalvin Cook, RB,
Florida State. Losses for
Florida State have overshadowed the junior’s
outstanding season running and receiving (179.4
yards from scrimmage
per game). He gets the
spotlight game against
No. 3 Clemson at home
Saturday.
Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma. Coming off a
historic game against
Texas Tech (263 yards
rushing, 114 receiving
and ﬁve touchdowns), the
sophomore has a chance
to put up numbers similar
to Cook’s. Would Heisman voters overlook his
past arrest for punching a
woman in a bar?
Patrick Mahomes, QB,
Texas Tech. The Red
Raiders’ up-tempo offense
and awful defense inﬂate
his numbers, but he is
on pace for about 5,700
yards and close to 50
touchdown passes.
Jonathan Allen, DE,
Alabama. A defensive end
is not winning the Heisman, but Allen’s scored
two touchdowns and
could draw some consideration as the best player
on the best team’s best
unit.

JGR’s Talladega strategy was perfect for playoffs
TALLADEGA, Ala.
(AP) — When Sweden
beat the U.S. women’s
soccer team during the
Olympics by using a
conservative strategy,
goalie Hope Solo was
lambasted for calling
the winners “a bunch of
cowards.”
NASCAR fans seemed
to have adopted Solo’s
attitude in response to
Joe Gibbs Racing’s strategy Sunday at Talladega
Superspeedway. The
team has four drivers
and three were guaranteed a spot in the third
round of the playoffs if
they simply stayed out
of trouble at Talladega.
So they lollygagged at
the back of the pack.
All day.
Kyle Busch, Carl
Edwards and Matt
Kenseth raced with a
purpose, but it wasn’t
to win the race. Their
goal was to finish the
race and move on to
see another day in the
Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship.
A vocal faction of
fans seems outraged at
the JGR strategy, even
though it worked to
perfection. Not only did
Busch, Edwards and
Kenseth advance in the
Chase, but so did Denny
Hamlin, who was forced
to race as a one-man
team because of the
organizational plan.
Hamlin just about
needed a miracle to
avoid elimination, and
with his teammates
offering no assistance

in his bid to win the
race, he had to find rival
drivers to work with on
Sunday. Hamlin wound
up third, beating Kurt
Busch for the position
and the one point it
was worth, by 0.006
seconds. That result
tied him in the standings with Austin Dillon,
and Hamlin got the last
berth in the playoffs on
a tiebreaker.
There are eight cars
left in the Chase field.
Four of them come from
JGR . For that, the team
should be commended.
Instead, fans are griping that they prefer to
see drivers race and not
ride around the back of
the pack.
To that, Kyle Busch
had a simple answer on
Monday.
“Don’t hate the player… Hate the game,”
Busch posted on Twitter.
Kenseth finished 28th
on Sunday, Edwards
29th and Busch was
30th. All were satisfied with the result,
although they didn’t
really love executing the
plan. Busch found the
strategy to be dull and
not very motivating, but
it accomplished what he
needed.
Two years ago, Busch
went to Talladega in
decent shape to advance
in the Chase. He was
involved in a wreck and
eliminated from the
playoffs.
“There’s no reward
to go race and get

wrecked,” Busch said.
“You’ve got to try to
survive and do what you
can.”
Kenseth seemed to
acknowledge the potential for disappointed
fans, but rationalized
it by pointing out what
was at stake. Kenseth
was eliminated from the
Chase at Talladega last
year.
“It goes against everything you ever want to
do as a race car driver,”
Kenseth said. “You can’t
afford to go up there
and get wrecked and not
have a chance to race
for a championship. I
don’t think any of us
had any fun and none of
us enjoyed it, but it was
just what we had to do.”
Those upset with the
way JGR raced likely fall
into two camps. There
are the people who just
don’t like the team,
whether it’s because
Gibbs uses Toyotas or
because the organization has 11 wins this
year. And there are the
fans of the individual
drivers who dawdled
at the back of the pack
at Talladega, and they
wanted to see their
favorites compete for
the win.
The first group is
common in sports.
People don’t like the
Yankees, or the Red
Sox, or the Patriots, or
the Cowboys. They’ll
find fault in anything
those teams do. In the
case of Gibbs, the domination over the last two

years has rubbed people
wrong, and there are
some who just don’t
like that they drive for a
Japanese automaker.
But you can’t fault the
team for figuring out
how to work as, ahem,
a team, and accomplish big-picture tasks.
Remember, JGR worked
flawlessly together
along with Martin
Truex Jr. at the Daytona 500, where Hamlin
won and Toyota drivers
took four of the top five
spots.
Some have argued
that JGR at Talladega
violated the NASCAR
rule that all drivers give
100 percent during a
race. False. JGR gave
100 percent in determination, patience and
strategy in racing for
the bigger picture.
That’s why fans of
the individual drivers
should also take a step
back and appreciate
what the organization
accomplished. Sure,
they wanted to see their
drivers mixing it up
at the front and trying
to win the race. But
with that came a risk of
accident, or overheated
engine (see: Truex or
Brad Keselowski ), and
that would have ruined
the rest of the season.
JGR was brilliant at
Talladega, where they
took the system at its
face, worked within the
rules and claimed 50
percent of the playoff
positions. That’s a good
day.

Cleveland: Oh, what a night
CLEVELAND (AP)
— Always up for a party,
Cleveland is about to rock
like never before.
For more than 50 years,
fans agonized while waiting for one their three
major professional teams
to win a championship, a
drought that deﬁned the
city and its people. All
the parades, the trophy
presentations, the visits
to the White House happened for other teams, in
other places.
Cleveland was always
left out. Those days are
done.
And on Tuesday night,
Cleveland will be center
stage for the sports universe with a celebration
that once seemed inconceivable.
The spotlight has never
been so warm or welcoming.
LeBron James and the
Cavaliers, who delivered
Cleveland’s ﬁrst championship since 1964 by
beating Golden State
with a historic comeback
in the NBA Finals in
June, will receive their
rings and raise a banner
at Quicken Loans Arena
before their season opener against New York, and
the emotional ceremony
will be but a ﬁrst act.
Thirty minutes later
next door at Progressive
Field, the Indians will
host the Chicago Cubs
in Game 1 of the World
Series.
It’s an almost unimaginable doubleheader along
Ontario Street. Two
Cleveland teams at the
top of their games — a
dream beyond dreams for
fans.
“There won’t be any
place better in the sports
world than Cleveland,
and a lot of people in
Cleveland have been
waiting a long time to
hear those words,” said

Aaron Josefczyk | AP

The Cleveland Indians’ Progressive Field is shown during a team practice for the World Series against
the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.

Indians second baseman
Jason Kipnis. “It will be
the No. 1 place to be in
sports. What a special
day.”
Even fans without tickets for either event are
expected to ﬂood downtown because of a concert
across from the Q by
rapper Wiz Khalifa. Plus,
there will be dessert.
Blue Bunny Ice Cream
delivered after James said
last week that the night
could be made better by
ice cream trucks in the
streets — a sweet treat
on a sweet night.
The Indians will show
highlights of the Cavs’
ring ceremony on their
enormous scoreboard,
and it’s possible James
and his teammates will
be able to come across
Gateway Plaza to watch
Game 1 after playing the
Knicks.
For so long, championships remained just out of
reach as the Cavs, Indians
and Browns took turns
breaking Cleveland’s
heart in the postseason.
But with their unexpected comeback to
unseat the champion War-

riors, the Cavs put Cleveland on top — and the
city is enjoying the view.
Nearly 1 million people
showed up for the Cavs’
parade, pouring off the
sidewalks onto the streets
to show their affection for
James and his teammates,
who will always have
the distinction of being
drought busters. But the
Cavs’ victory did more,
releasing a sense of civic
pride that was on display
while Cleveland hosted
the Republic National
Convention and right
through the summer as
the Indians began their
run toward an AL pennant.
The potential conﬂict
between the ceremony
and Game 1 of the Series
ﬁrst appeared in August
when Major League Baseball released its postseason schedule. Back then,
the possibility was met
with the usual skepticism
from locals, who muttered it was only a matter
of time before the Indians
buckled. Well, not only
did they not collapse,
they ran away with the
AL Central and have gone

7-1 in the postseason.
Now, it feels like the
celebration was meant
to be.
Until last week, there
was a conundrum for
Cleveland fans torn over
being able to enjoy both
events because they were
starting simultaneously.
But the NBA pushed the
Cavs’ ceremony up 30
minutes, allowing fans
extra time to recover
from one big moment and
get ready for the next.
For many Clevelanders,
that will require putting
away their tissues before
grabbing their Indians
rally towel.
The images of the
Cavs closing out Game
7 remain vivid to their
coach Tyronn Lue,
who broke down in the
mayhem after the horn
sounded at Oracle Arena.
Four months later, he’s
still touched by the
video highlights of Kyrie
Irving’s 3-pointer, James’
chase-down block on
Andre Iguodala and Kevin
Love pestering Warriors
star Stephen Curry into
a miss.
“I’m probably going
to cry again,” Lue said.
“Every time I see, even
during preseason, every
time I see those last
plays, guys celebrating
and crying, it just sends
chills through my body.
I’m pretty sure that on
opening night it’s going
to be even more than
that. It’s going to be an
emotional night, I know
that and I’m going to
enjoy it also. It’s going to
be one of those nights.
It’s a great night. Who
wouldn’t want to be in
that position as an NBA
player or NBA coach?
“It’s going to be a great
night for us.”
And for all of Cleveland.

Bye lands at
perfect time for
ailing Steelers
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The bye week looks
like it landed at a perfect time for the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
The Steelers suffered their second straight lopsided defeat on Sunday, this one at home against
the New England Patriots. But Pittsburgh played
without ﬁve regular contributors because of injury, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and
defensive end Cameron Heyward.
The Steelers are hopeful for rest and recovery
before a road game at AFC North rival Baltimore
on Nov. 6.
“We need to get all the pieces back together,”
offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert said Monday.
“We have a lot of bodies dinged up. We have to
get some rest, heal up and really take advantage of
this bye week.”
Gilbert missed the previous three weeks with an
ankle injury. He said he wanted to return against
New England, but the ankle didn’t respond the
way he had hoped. Gilbert expects to be back
after the bye against the Ravens.
It’s unclear when Roethlisberger will return.
Roethlisberger underwent surgery and was
expected to miss four to six weeks after he injured
his left knee against Miami. Roethlisberger didn’t
speak to reporters on Monday, but he was spotted in the locker room walking without a limp.
He also jogged onto the ﬁeld Sunday to greet his
defensive teammates prior to the game against
New England.
That’s encouraging to Gilbert, who prefers to
see Roethlisberger return when he’s 100 percent
so he doesn’t suffer a setback.
“I see him walking around and he’s been looking
good,” Gilbert said. “We’ll see how he’s progressing. Whenever he’s ready, I’m sure he’ll be out
there, ﬁrst thing, because we need him.”
The defense could use a boost from Heyward,
who missed the previous two weeks with a hamstring injury.
“I feel good one day and take a step back the
next,” Heyward said. “I have to be smart and keep
progressing. I have to take it day by day because
I don’t know how I’ll be feeling in two days. I
just have to make sure I’m pushing myself to the
extent where I’m ready to go when I get back.”
It’s a frustrating situation for Heyward, who
previously played in 85 consecutive regular-season
games.
“I’m just doing everything possible,” Heyward
said. “I want to get back for my teammates
because I feel like I can contribute and help out.”
The Steelers could also potentially see a boost
offensively from tight end Ladarius Green, who
signed a four-year $20 million contract in the
spring, but started the season on the physically
unable to perform list and continues to work his
way back from offseason ankle surgery.
Green said Monday that he has been medically
cleared to return to practice, but he hasn’t been
cleared by head coach Mike Tomlin. The team has
21 days once Green begins practicing to determine whether to put him on the 53-man roster.
Green would like to return to practice, but he
will follow the coach’s decision.
“It would be nice to get a little practice under
my belt,” Green said. “(Tomlin) knows I want to
be out there, but it’s up to him to do what’s best
for the team.”
The Steelers anticipate extra rest from the bye
could help wide receiver Markus Wheaton return
to the lineup against Baltimore. Wheaton is dealing with a lingering shoulder injury sustained in
the preseason.
Wheaton missed the ﬁrst two games of the
season, but returned to catch passes in the next
three. He suffered a setback and missed the previous two games against Miami and New England.
“Anytime you take a step backwards it’s frustrating,” Wheaton said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.
(AP) — Charlie Strong
began his weekly news
conference Monday by
spending a couple of
minutes discussing the
multitude of self-inﬂicted
wounds that cost Texas
in its lost to Kansas State
on Saturday.
Turnovers. Penalties.
Blown assignments.
It could eventually
serve as the epitaph for
his tenure leading the
Longhorns.
Strong dropped to
14-18 in his third season
with the 24-21 defeat in
Manhattan . And with
eighth-ranked Baylor
rolling into town, the
chances of turning things
around this week appear
bleak.
“You look at the job —
I know this, we haven’t
played well,” Strong said.
“But I know this football
team can play a lot better,

will play a lot better. We
just have to continue to
develop.”
Time is running out to
develop, though. Longhorns athletic director
Mike Perrin has already
said he will evaluate
everything about the program after the season.
Strong isn’t the only
coach whose grasp of
their job is tenuous.
Texas Tech coach
Kliff Kingsbury could be
headed for another losing
season after a shootout
loss to Oklahoma on
Saturday. He is just 22-23
in his fourth season,
and 11-20 in the Big 12,
which makes the tenures
of Spike Dykes, Mike
Leach and Tommy Tuberville before him appear
even more impressive. All
those coaches had winning records in Lubbock.
Then there is Kansas
coach David Beaty, who

still has just one win in
his second season. There
is little doubt he took
over the worst program
in major college football,
and there is plenty of
evidence to suggest he’s
making progress. But
another blowout loss
on Saturday, this time
to Oklahoma State, also
showcased the gap that
still exists between Kansas and the rest of the
league.
“We’ve got great kids.
They’re tough dudes and
they understand the task
at hand, understand what
we’re trying to get done,”
Beaty said. “There’s
no quit in those guys.
There’s no spirit problem. They hate losing,
just like we all do. But we
don’t feel sorry for ourselves.”
Kingsbury and Beaty
at least have a few things
going for them.
