Harris, who ran Harris’ Steakhouse on Main Street for 48 years, also helped start the popular Mothman Festival and was a driving force behind the Christmas light display at Krodel Park, among her tireless work with the Main Street Point Pleasant organization. In Point Pleasant, Harris was also known for her support of downtown businesses, local merchants, local people in need and whatever else Point Pleasant needed that she could provide. “I was shocked like probably everyone else,” Jeff Wamsley said on Monday upon learning of Harris’ passing. Both he and Harris helped start the Mothman Festival which brings thousands of people into not only Point Pleasant each year, but surrounding counties. “I, like most people, remember Carolin from growing up in Point Pleasant and seeing her downtown at the diner,” Wamsley said. “She was devoted to anything that helped Point Pleasant, including the Mothman Festival. Downtown Point Pleasant won’t be the same without Carolin Harris. She was truly a ﬁne person.” Judy Hensley, owner of Victoria’s Prom and Bridal shop, was a fellow Main Street merchant along with Harris, and the two worked together often on efforts to improve the downtown shop- INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Southern Board holds December meeting Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com laying awake at night worrying about the homeless on a cold night.

(AP) — One West Virginia woman’s story will be told in two new ﬁlms. But this is no ordinary West Virginian. Katherine Johnson, a 98-year-old native of White Sulphur Springs, was hired as a mathematician for the original version of NASA in 1953, calculating the trajectories for astronauts journeying into space. Diana Sole Walko interviewed Johnson for a ﬁlm about her life produced by MotionMasters that she hopes to release in 2017, in the wake of the premiere of another major movie about Johnson and two of her colleagues that came out on Christmas Day. Her ﬁlm is aptly titled “Outlier.” The project originally began as a multi-part documentary series on West Virginia history, but when funding stalled, she realized that one interview from her footage was worthy of its own biographical documen- tary: Johnson’s. The Gazette-Mail named Johnson as its West Virginian of the Year for 2015. Known as a “computer” in an era before modern computing technology, Johnson and her precise calculations helped with the journey into space. Although NASA eventually started using computers, John Glenn still requested that she manually conﬁrm the calculations done by the electronic computer before he would go on to orbit Earth. At the time, NACA (the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), the predecessor to NASA, was actively looking to hire women as “computers” to do mathematical computations by hand. But why women? According to Sole Walko, when she asked Johnson, the response was simple. “Men don’t have the patience for it,” Sole Walko said Johnson told her.

THEIR VIEW Get ready for a nation with two presidents By Jay Ambrose Contributing Columnist Barack Obama ﬁrst came to national attention as a conciliator. It was 2004 at the Democratic National Convention and the Illinois state senator made a resounding, eloquent speech calling for national unity. Five years later, at his inauguration as president of the United States, he made another resounding, eloquent speech, this time calling for national division. Or at least provoking it. Dr. Jekyll was gone, Mr. Hyde was on hand and the healing physician has since been hard to spot as Obama has broken records in polarizing the country. He has stirred up class antagonisms, heightened racial tensions and helped instigate political stalemate. His negotiation style with Republicans has been a modern-age version of a king telling uppity peasants what they had darned well do. And, on top of that and much more, he now appears ready to harass Donald Trump from a prominent D.C. perch for the next four years, more or less serving as an unofﬁcial leader of disruptive antagonism. But let’s start with that 2009 inauguration speech that told us so much about the real Obama as he tried to tell us so much about President George W. Bush. As a report in The Guardian newspaper observed, Obama spoke of Bush’s eight years of running things as a time of “greed and irresponsibility,” of “a sapping of conﬁdence” and of “a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable.” He announced an end to “the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that far too long have strangled our politics.” With Bush sitting close by, the new president said the government must quit “protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions.” He said we must now “pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking America,” then failing to go over to Bush, pick him up, dust him off and apologize. This smooth, charming, brilliant but arrogant man continued to pick on Bush for the next four years as Bush himself said nary a word. And yes, I’ve heard the stuff about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell say- “We’ve got a new issue now, namely that Obama, thoroughly practiced in keeping unity at bay, is not about to let his skills go to waste.” —Jay Ambrose ing he wanted to make Obama a one-term president. That happened in a 2010 interview in which he also said he would love it if Obama would try to meet the Republicans at least halfway. So far, he had not, and, in McConnell’s view, his uncompromising agenda was a thing to fear. Misleading critics love to kick McConnell without mentioning how Obama started his tenure by telling some Republicans he was president and they weren’t, implying they should shut up. The adorers do not delve into the ways in which subservient Harry Reid, easily among the worst Senate majority leaders in U.S. history, did far more than House Republicans to block conciliation on issues of moment. They also excuse Obama’s vow to act unilaterally if necessary after the GOP took over both houses of Congress in 2014. We’ve got a new issue now, namely that Obama, thoroughly practiced in keeping unity at bay, is not about to let his skills go to waste. He has said he will stay in Washington, D.C., to train Democrats on how to assume power again and has explicitly said he will speak out if he sees Trump going astray. Hardly any president has ever booed successors much — Jimmy Carter is a disgraceful exception — but it’s easy to imagine Obama growling through a media microphone on a daily basis. Gallup did various polls during this administration showing more political division in the country than ever before. Imagine what could happen with all the anti-Trump virulence, the mass protest rallies already planned and those now refusing to go to Canada despite pleas they get their passports as promised. We seem to be in for something like a twopresident country, and the national hurt could be enormous. Jay Ambrose is an op-ed columnist for Tribune News Service.

THEIR VIEW Reagan would be mortified by Trump’s attitude By Will Bunch Contributing Columnist Ever notice President Obama’s hair and how gray it’s gotten over the last eight years? It probably has to do with the knowledge that he has the terrifying ability to destroy the entire world dozens of times over and the responsibility to make sure that never happens. This despite an array of threats that range in size from China and Russia all the way down to North Korea or some crazy terrorist with enough dough to buy a “suitcase bomb” or radioactive waste from some rogue state. George W. Bush, for better or worse, wasn’t afraid of using U.S. military force, but it sure sounds like America’s vast nuclear arsenal scared the heck out of him. “I had no idea we had so many weapons,” he told a briefer after taking ofﬁce in 2001, according to Newsweek magazine. “What do we need them for?” If only W. had been that inquisitive about those weapons of mass destruction that weren’t in Iraq. Oh, how times have changed. On Jan. 20, America will inaugurate a new president with no apparent worries about the number of nuclear weapons in the possession of either the United States or its superpower allies and no feel for the devastating fallout — pun intended — if nukes were to be used in combat for the ﬁrst time since Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. To the contrary, Donald Trump, according to the presidential megaphone of Twitter, doesn’t think America’s weapons cache is big enough. ”The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes,” Trump tweeted. He “The one thing I know is this: No one believed that we were voting on Nov. 8 for a return to the days of fallout shelters and those classroom drills where kids learned to put their head between their knees and kiss their butts goodbye.” —Will Bunch didn’t offer any additional details. He never does. But his vague words held out the promise of reversing a U.S. policy course that dates back to the late 1960s and Richard Nixon. Ironically, Trump’s tweet followed closely a pronouncement by Russian president Vladimir Putin, who has the keys to the world’s secondlargest nuclear stockpile, that his nation is working on modernizing its atomic arsenal to “reliably penetrate any existing and prospective missile defense systems.” This all comes at a perilous moment when citizens — not just of the United States but of the entire world — are wondering whether America and Russia are launching a new Cold War or whether Trump and Putin have instead formed a dark alliance against Westernstyle liberalism. The one thing I know is this: No one believed that we were voting on Nov. 8 for a return to the days of fallout shelters and those classroom drills where kids learned to put their head between their knees and kiss their butts goodbye. The present moment feels slightly terrifying, and let’s just say that reassurance isn’t Donald J. Trump’s greatest quality. There’s another thing I can say with some See TRUMP | 5 �NEWS/WEATHER Trump From page 4 certainty: Ronald Reagan would be spinning in his grave if he could witness Trump’s cavalier attitude on nukes. Yes, that’s ironic, because — as I remember well from my college days — a lot of people worried at one time that Reagan would be the U.S. president to start a nuclear war. After all, the Gipper had once said his plan for Vietnam would be to turn that nation into a giant parking lot (a ﬁtting metaphor for a Californian), and once in the White House he rattled more nerves when he referred to Moscow as “an evil empire.” But things began to change rapidly around 1983, just two years into his presidency. A series of war games involving the U.S. and the USSR brought the two nuclear superpowers closer to actual combat than the public realized at the time. That same month, ABC aired the now legendary TV movie “The Day After,” which showed the grim aftermath of an all-our nuclear war and the struggles of people in Lawrence, Kansas, to survive the loss of friends, family and the civilized world they once knew. One of the millions of Americans who watched “The Day After” was Reagan. “It is powerfully done, all $7 million worth. It’s very effective and left me greatly depressed,” Reagan wrote in his diary after a private screening of the movie at Camp David. “Whether it will be of help to the ‘anti-nukes’ or not, I can’t say. My own reaction was one of having to do all we can to have a deterrent & to see there is never a nuclear war.” Just two months later, in a nation- ally televised speech, the then-president said “my dream is to see the day when nuclear weapons will be banished from the face of the earth.” Remarkably, he spent the next ﬁve years doing as much as he could to make that vision a reality. I wrote about it in my 2009 book, “Tear Down This Myth.” Here’s an excerpt: “When a crisis of aging Soviet leadership was ﬁnally resolved in 1985 with the ascension of Mikhail Gorbachev — himself soon motivated to seek sweeping change by the nuclear power disaster at Chernobyl — the two world leaders embarked on a series of remarkable summits aimed largely at nuclear arms reduction. When they met in Reykjavik in October 1986, they even entertained a radical proposal to eliminate all nuclear weapons, although it foundered on Reagan’s refusal to give up another cherished personal vision, his notion of a high-tech weapons shield. That meeting did lay the groundwork for an agreement fourteen months later to eliminate all of those intermediaterange nuclear weapons in Europe. Today you can see the Pershing II and the SS-20 right next to each other — in the Smithsonian Institute, where most would agree such lethal weapons belong. When that treaty was inked, a Reagan associate sent a telegram to the director of ‘The Day After’: ‘Don’t think your movie didn’t have any part of this, because it did.’” Maybe the presidency will change Trump in some of the ways that it changed Reagan — but that’s hard to imagine right now.

At one point in the 1980s, Trump said that Reagan’s nuclear-arms negotiators were too soft and offered to replace them; not much later he blasted The Gipper as an “effective … performer” in the White House with little substance. Running for president as a Republican in 2016, of course, he had nothing but praise for the late 40th president, and Trump’s lack of a political background has brought some Reagan comparisons that are more than a little forced, especially when one remembers that Reagan had eight years of experience as governor of the nation’s largest state when he was inaugurated. The differences don’t end there. Reagan also offered a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, often turned down his advisers’ calls for military action from Panama to the Middle East, fearing collateral damage to civilians, and signed a treaty meant to eliminate torture. It was a time when a principled hard-core conservative could see shades of gray, learn new things on the job and cultivate the “art of the deal” with opposition leaders like the Democrats’ Tip O’Neill. That is a time that seems quaint in a world where Trump’s Twitter thumbs will soon be on the nuclear button. For someone who considers himself the “Merry Christmas president,” Donald Trump has a lot to learn about peace on earth and goodwill toward humankind. 49° 36° 46° Tuesday, December 27, 2016 5 Charleston 56/32 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

The Lady Eagles (9-1, 6-1 TVC Hocking) had ﬁve different players score en route to an early 13-5 ﬁrst quarter lead, then Laura Pullins scored six points as the Green and White made a small 12-10 run to extend their cushion out to 25-15 at the break. EHS — which hit seven of the 13 made threepointers in the contest — netted ﬁve trifectas during that pivotal third quarter push, which allowed the guests to extend the lead out to 50-25 headed into the ﬁnale. The Lady Golden Eagles (8-2, 6-1) hit half of their trifectas down the stretch as part of a 16-11 run to close regulation, but the hosts ultimately came up way short in their rally bid. Barker — who entered the contest needing four points to reach quadruple digits — was limited to just two points in the ﬁrst half, but Barker canned a pair of free throws at the 6:41 mark of the third to reach the milestone. Barker ﬁnished the night with 15 points, which included a trio of successful three-pointers down the stretch. Eastern made 26 total ﬁeld goals in the contest and also went 2-of-8 at the free throw line for 25 percent. Both Madison Williams and Laura Pullins led EHS with matching game-highs of 19 points apiece. The duo accounted for all ﬁve third quarter trifectas, with Williams scoring 13 of her points in that canto alone. Jess Parker was next with nine points, while Elizabeth Collins and Becca Pullins were next with seven points and ﬁve markers. Kelsey Casto completed the winning tally with two points. The hosts netted 13 totals ﬁeld goals and also went 9-of-16 at the charity stripe for 56 percent. Kyanna Ray followed Barker with nine points, while Kyra Waderker and Abby LaFatch respectively added ﬁve and four markers. Daisy Cowdery and Kaitlin Richards were next with two points apiece, while Trinidy King and Savannah Hart each had one point to round out the BHS tally.

Blue Devils dominate Rebels By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio —Inside and out, the Gallia Academy Blue Devils were way too much of a match for the young South Gallia Rebels on Friday night. That’s because Gallia Academy never trailed, utilized its interior size advantage, pumped in a few outside shots, and amassed as large as a 31-point lead before prevailing 65-43 in a nonleague boys basketball bout. The Blue Devils did lead 14-8 after the opening quarter, as South Gallia got no closer than 3-2 and 5-4 deﬁcits. But host Gallia Academy, on a night in which all of the school’s 1,000point basketball scorers were recognized, amounted 17 and 20 markers in the middle two periods — staking cushions of 31-18 at halftime and 51-28 following three frames. Over the opening fourand-a-half minutes of the ﬁnal stanza, the Blue Devils made a 10-2 run to lead 61-30 — their largest margin of the night. The Rebels did score 11 unanswered of their own, as Dondre Armstrong and Gage Harrison had the ﬁnal two GAHS baskets — in the ﬁnal minute and 12 seconds. And, the Blue Devils did all of this despite six-foot ﬁve-inch junior center Justin Peck sitting out the entire ﬁrst quarter — and Evan Wiseman missing the entire game because of the ﬂu. With the victory, Gallia Academy — once again bouncing back from a heartbreaking narrow loss — improved to 5-2, as the Blue Devils now begin a week-long break before their next contest. The Blue Devils are actually ﬁve points — on a pair of three-point shots — away from possibly being undefeated. GAHS head coach Gary Harrison, one of the individuals honored on Friday for scoring 1,000 points at his alma mater, hinted that it was important for his club to return to the court as quickly as possible. Jackson’s Bryce Hall hit a three-point shot at the buzzer to break the Blue Devils’ hearts a week ago — 60-57. “Our kids were devastated after the Jackson game like they were after the loss to Point Pleasant (66-64 overtime loss on Dec. 9), but these kids show a lot of resilience and they bounce back. They were upbeat their last two days at practice,” said Harrison. “We still came out a little ﬂat tonight, but in the third quarter, we really changed the ﬂow of the game.” Gallia Academy outscored South Gallia 20-10 in the third, as the Blue Devils opened up a 51-23 advantage at the 1:20 mark. Harrison credited Cory Call’s defensive play, Peck’s presence inside, and Miles Cornwell canning a three-pointer to initially double the lead at 40-20. “Cory Call changed the complexion of the game with his defensive presence, getting deﬂections and getting out and running. When we can get out and run in transition, and use our speed and quickness, we’re going to be better,” said the coach. “And our bigs (Peck and Zach Loveday) ran the ﬂoor in the third quarter. We’re better when we run and that’s what we did.” Peck posted 10 points in the third on ﬁve ﬁeld goals, as Call collected two buckets along with 3-of-3 foul shots in the period. Both Blue Devils tied for a game-high 17 points, as Peck tallied eight total ﬁeld goals while Call connected for six —along with 4-of-4 free throws. He also made a three in the fourth quarter, complementing the pair of ﬁrst-quarter trifectas and dozen ﬁrst-half points from Cornwell. Cornwell converted seven of the Blue Devils’ opening 11 points, then drilled his second triple with 19 seconds left in the quarter — for the 14-8 advantage. The Rebels, on an Eli Ellis three-ball just 35 seconds into the second canto, never got closer than 16-11 following that. For South Gallia, the loss left it winless at 0-7, as head coach Larry Howell had a huge matchup mismatch on his hands. The Rebels’ tallest player is six-foot three-inch freshman Austin Day, but combine Peck with 6-foot, 11-inch freshman Zach Loveday — and the Blue Devils dominated inside. Loveday, despite no ﬁeld goals and only two foul shots, did block 10 South Gallia shots to supplement a dozen rebounds. Peck and especially Loveday forced the Rebels to shoot jump shots, as Gallia Academy maintained a 25-15 advantage in total ﬁeld goals. “We really had our hands full with both Loveday and Peck. If they throw to Loveday at the high post, we have to deal with that and Peck at the low post. If they throw to Peck at the high post, we have to deal with that and Loveday at the low post,” said Howell. “I thought See DEVILS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Lady Wildcats scratch Southern By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com WATERFORD, Ohio — Simply outmatched. The Southern girls basketball team dropped its third straight game, on Thursday night in Washington County, falling to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host and defending OHSAA Division IV state champion Waterford by a 58-19 margin. The Lady Wildcats (7-0, 6-0 TVC Hocking) — who’ve now won 43 consecutive league tilts — didn’t allow a single ﬁeld goal in the opening eight minutes, as they built a 15-2 lead. Southern (5-3, 3-3) freshman Baylee Wolfe sank the team’s ﬁrst ﬁeld goal, a two-pointer, to start the second period, but Waterford answered with a 18-4 run and led 33-8 at halftime. The Lady Tornadoes were held off the board entirely in the third quarter, as WHS pushed the lead to 52-8 with eight minutes remaining. The Green and White showed mercy in the ﬁnale, scoring just six points. Meanwhile, Southern scored 11 points in the fourth quarter and fell by a 58-19 ﬁnal.

Tuesday, December 27, 2016 7 Point rolls past Raiders, 62-47 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL, Ohio — It’s safe to say the secret is out. The Big Blacks are pretty good this year. The Point Pleasant boys basketball team picked up its ﬁfth straight victory while also eclipsing last year’s win total Friday night during a 62-47 decision over host River Valley in a nonconference matchup in Gallia County. The visiting Big Blacks (5-1) hit eight trifectas and shot 44 percent from the ﬁeld en route to the wire-to-wire triumph. PPHS also forced the Raiders (1-7) into seven ﬁrst quarter turnovers, which helped in setting the tone early on as the Red and Black jumped out to a 13-5 advantage eight minutes into play. RVHS — which has now dropped seven straight decisions — netted only two of its ﬁrst 11 shot attempts through the opening moments of the second canto, then disaster struck the Silver and Black as Jacob Dovenbarger picked up his third personal foul with 6:41 remaining in the half. The Raiders ended up hanging around during the remainder of the period as Point Pleasant made a small 14-10 run to increase its lead out to 27-15 at the break. River Valley made a small 5-2 run to start the third to close to within three possessions after a Dovenbarger free throw made it a 29-20 contest with 4:48 remaining, but the hosts were ultimately never closer the rest of the way. Parker Rairden capped a 14-7 run with a trifecta from the corner just before the third quarter buzzer sounded, allowing PPHS to secure a 43-27 edge headed into the ﬁnale. The Big Blacks opened the fourth with a 13-7 surge to claim their biggest lead of the night at 56-36 after Cason Payne netted a basket with 3:57 left in regulation. The Raiders — who ended up winning the fourth quarter by a 20-19 margin — ended the game with an 11-6 run to wrap up the 15-point outcome. Point Pleasant committed only half of its dozen turnovers through three quarters of play while also forcing RVHS into 17 turnovers — including 13 of those miscues in the ﬁrst half. The Silver and Black claimed a slim 32-30 edge in rebounding, but the guests won the battle on the offensive glass by an 11-8 count. PPHS netted 20-of-45 total ﬁeld goal attempts, Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Will Harbour releases a shot attempt over the outstretched arm of River Valley defender Ian Polcyn (21) during the second half of Friday night’s non-conference boys basketball contest in Bidwell, Ohio. which included an 8-of-20 effort from behind the arc for 40 percent. The guests were also 14-of-26 at the free throw line for 54 percent, with eight of those misses coming before the intermission. Doug Workman led the Big Blacks with four trifectas and a game-high 26 points, followed by Parker Rairden with 13 points and Braydon Ralbusky with eight markers. Will Harbour and Payne respectively added six and four points to the winning cause, while Camron Long completed the scoring with three points. Workman and Austin Liptrap paced PPHS with seven rebounds apiece, followed by Harbour with six boards and Payne with ﬁve caroms. The Raiders connected on 17-of-45 shot attempts for 38 percent, including a 2-of-15 effort from three-point range for 13 percent. The hosts were also 11-of-17 at the charity stripe for 65 percent. Dovenbarger accounted for 20 of River Valley’s 32 second half points and ﬁnished the night with a team-high 22 markers. Dustin Barber was next with nine points and Jarret McCarley chipped in eight points as well. Jordan Burns, Tre Craycraft, Ian Polcyn and Jacob Campbell each contributed two points in the setback. Polcyn led RVHS with 10 rebounds and Dovenbarger collected eight caroms. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Browns emotional after getting season’s first win CLEVELAND (AP) — For the ﬁrst time, Hue Jackson stood in front of the Browns as a winner. Through the injuries, the losses, the negativity and the late-night jokes, his team had stuck together. And as the Browns huddled around him in the postgame locker room, Cleveland’s ﬁrst-year coach desperately wanted to make a point. “I told you guys about the veteran players,” he said, stopping and pumping his ﬁst. Jackson’s voice fell silent , gagged by emotion. He wrapped his arm around the shoulder of wide receiver Andrew Hawkins, who told his teammates he loved them. A few feet away, Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas used the back of his taped hands to wipe tears from his reddened eyes and tight end Gary Barnidge stepped forward to present Jackson with the game ball as players yelled, “Merry Christmas.” It was over. Thankfully. Mercifully. After 14 straight losses, the Browns are no longer winless or ﬂirting with unwanted history. Cleveland ended a 17-game losing streak dating to last season on Saturday, edging the San Diego Chargers 20-17 in the Browns’ home ﬁnale when kicker Josh Lambo missed a tying 45-yard ﬁeld goal attempt as time expired. When the ball sailed right of the upright, the Browns and their dedicated fans who came out on Christmas Eve, celebrated with hugs and high-ﬁves as if they were going to the playoffs. Who could blame them? It had been 377 days since Cleveland’s last win, and months of frustration were ﬁnally gone. “I am going to give all the credit to our veteran leadership players from Joe Thomas to Gary to Joe Haden to Andrew Hawkins,” Jackson said. “I can go on and on and on because this is for them. This not for me. This is about them. We have a long way to go to get where I want our organization and our football team to get, but today, it is about those guys. “It is a heck of a Christmas present to all involved because these guys worked so hard.” Isaiah Crowell rushed for two touchdowns and the Browns (1-14) built a 10-point lead and did just enough down the stretch to hold off Chargers (5-10), who lost yet another close game and have dropped four straight. “I know that 1-14 is nothing to celebrate, but as a veteran to these guys, for coach Jackson, it feels incredible,” Hawkins said . “He deserves it more than anything. It’s a special day.” HOMETOWN HERO If not for defensive tackle Jamie Meder, the Browns might still be winless. But Meder, who grew up in suburban Parma, blocked Lambo’s 32-yard ﬁeld-goal attempt with 3:45 left to preserve Cleveland’s threepoint lead. Meder bulled his way into the back ﬁeld and got his right hand on the kick. “‘The Pierogi Prince of Parma’ does it again,” Thomas said. “That man is awesome. He is one of my favorites. I think he is playing in the polka band here this weekend on Christmas Day, so if you guys get a chance, go out and watch him. He is the accordion player.” SHOCKED CHARGERS Some of San Diego’s players were in disbelief after losing to the NFL’s only winless team. The Chargers have now been involved in 13 games decided by eight points or less, losing 10. “Every game counts the same to me,” said quarterback Philip Rivers, who passed for 322 yards and two touchdowns. “I know they had lost 14 games. I understand that they had lost a certain number by double digits. I also see the scoreboard and see them up in a lot of games. I see them tied, I see them down six. We knew we were playing an NFL team and they played better than us today.” GRIFFIN CONCUSSED Browns quarterback Robert Grifﬁn III sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter when he was sacked for the seventh time. He was replaced by rookie Cody Kessler. Grifﬁn, making his third straight start, ﬁnished 17 of 25 for 164 yards. He also ran for 42 yards. If Grifﬁn can’t play, Kessler, who had a key third-down conversion in the ﬁnal four minutes, will make his ninth start when the Browns play in Pittsburgh next week. SACK ATTACK Chargers rookie defensive end Joey Bosa had two sacks, moving his total to 9 ½. The No. 3 overall pick in the draft, the former Ohio State AllAmerican celebrated his ﬁrst sack by spelling out the letters “O-H-IO” with his arms to the crowd. Bosa declined to speak with the media following the game, and abruptly left the locker room. Chunn, Troy ‘D’ top Ohio 28-23 MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — The Troy Trojans polished off their best season as an FBS program thanks largely to a defense that kept taking the ball away. Jordan Chunn had three short touchdown runs and the Trojans intercepted four passes and recovered a fumble in a 28-23 victory over Ohio in the Dollar General Bowl on Friday night. The Trojans (10-3) ﬁnished off their ﬁrst 10-win season since moving up to the FBS in 2001, thanks largely to a defense that came up with three big fourth-quarter stops. The ﬁrst Sun Belt Conference team to crack the Top 25, Troy forced 18 turnovers in its last ﬁve games. “Tonight in a lot of ways was a microcosm of our season,” second-year coach Neal Brown said. “We’re sitting here 10-3 and quite honestly it wasn’t always pretty. We’ve won a bunch of different ways.” This time it was mainly a defense that hounded quarterback Greg Windham into mistakes and kept delivering stops. The result was a win in the program’s ﬁrst bowl game since 2010. The Bobcats (8-6) settled for ﬁeld goal attempts twice in the fourth quarter, making one, and got one more chance from their own 15 with 2:20 left and no timeouts. They managed one ﬁrst down, but Windham couldn’t throw for another one under heavy pressure. Ohio coach Frank Solich said the average gain per completion was “a good reason to stick with him.” “All those turnovers we had weren’t all his fault,” said Solich, who fell to 4-9 in bowl games as a head coach. “Obviously, he’d like to have a few plays back. It’s kind of a tough way to go. I thought Greg showed great toughness and I felt like he gave us our best chance of winning.” �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Tuesday, December 27, 2016 Daily Sentinel Miscellaneous Help Wanted General Help Wanted General Apartments/Townhouses Miscellaneous Help Wanted General EEE Residential has an immediate opening in Meigs County for a full time residential aide.

I missed it and I was real upset I couldn’t get out there with my teammates. This year, I’m going to try and get out there with them and try to help win another game and keep going forward.” Clowney and the Texans are headed to the playoffs after surviving a scare from the Cincinnati Bengals to get a 12-10 victory on Saturday night that clinched their second straight AFC South title. Tom Savage threw for 176 yards in his ﬁrst career start and the Bengals missed a ﬁeld goal as time expired to give the Texans the win. The Bengals converted a fourth down play to keep a drive alive, but four plays later, former Texan Randy Bullock missed wide right on a 43-yard attempt, securing Houston’s victory. Clowney, the top overall pick in the 2014 draft who had a sack on Saturday, felt a rush of emotions when he saw that Bullock’s kick was no good. “Champs. That’s all I was thinking right there,” he said. “We did it. We won the division. Go on to something new. What’s next? Scratch it off. Get ready for the playoffs.” Savage helped the Texans (9-6) rally for a win over the Jaguars last week after taking over when Brock Osweiler was benched after throwing interceptions on back-toback possessions in the second quarter. The Texans knew they were in the postseason with a win after the Titans fell to the Jaguars earlier Saturday. But it didn’t look good for them early with Savage completing just two passes for 13 yards and them trailing 3-0 at halftime. Cincinnati (6-8-1) went on top when Andy Dalton found Brandon LaFell on a short pass and he took it 86 yards for a touchdown that made it 10-6 with about 11 minutes left. A 24-yard touchdown run by Alfred Blue put the Texans back on top with about nine minutes left, but the extra point was blocked to leave Houston up 12-10. That score was set up by a 21-yard reception by DeAndre Hopkins. Some things to know about Houston’s win over the Bengals. FILLING IN: Lamar Miller missed his ﬁrst game this season because of an ankle injury and Blue had a season-high 73 yards rushing in his place. Blue’s playing time has been limited this season with the addition of Miller after he started Sam Craft | AP Cincinnati Bengals kicker Randy Bullock (4) misses a field goal as time expires Saturday against the Houston Texans in Houston. The Texans won 12-10. nine games last season following a season-ending injury to Arian Foster. “Maybe his stats don’t always look the greatest, but he’s a very tough runner,” coach Bill O’Brien said. “And what I think happens is more you use him, he tends to wear the defense out after a while.” BIG PLAY: Dalton’s 86-yard pass to LaFell was the longest of the quarterback’s career. Dalton depended on LaFell on Saturday night with star receiver A.J. Green out for the ﬁfth straight game with a hamstring injury. LaFell ﬁnished with a career-high 130 yards receiving. “When I looked up the ﬁeld, it was me and the safety,” LaFell said. “When I saw him stop his feet, I was like: ‘Yeah, no way he’s going to come catch me.’” Steelers rally past Ravens to win AFC North, 31-27 PITTSBURGH (AP) — The clock ticking and a season ﬁlled with promise evaporating, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took the snap, turned to his left and put the AFC North title in the hands of Antonio Brown. The star wide receiver caught the ball at the Baltimore 1 and waited for the hit he knew was coming. When it arrived from Ravens safety Eric Weddle and linebacker C.J. Mosley, Brown ducked his head and stretched the ball across the goal line for a playoff-clinching touchdown that symbolized his team’s considerable resilience. Reeling in November. Heck, reeling early in the fourth quarter at home on Christmas against an archrival that’s more than had their number in recent years, the Steelers are heading to the playoffs anyway. Brown’s lunging 4-yard score with 9 seconds left lifted Pittsburgh to a gripping 31-27 victory and a second division title in three years, delivering just as Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell predicted Brown would. “Over there by the heaters before the ﬁnal drive, he said ‘AB, you got to go down there and get the game winner,” Brown said. It was a play Brown’s teammates have seen many times, just never with so much on the line. “That’s AB,” wide receiver Damarcus Ayers said. “He does it so much in practice, it doesn’t ‘wow’ you in a game. In this particular moment it’s like, ‘he’s done it again.’” Baltimore (8-7) was eliminated from contention. Brown ﬁnished with 10 receptions for 96 yards to join Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison as the only players with four straight 100-catch seasons. Roethlisberger shook off a pair of third-quarter interceptions to ﬁnish with 279 yards passing and three touchdowns. Bell ran for 122 yards and a score and hauled in another on an ad-libbed play by Roethlisberger as Pittsburgh rallied from a 10-point deﬁcit to win its sixth straight. The Steelers (10-5) host during wild-card weekend on either Jan. 7 or 8, heady territory considering they were 4-5 after falling to Dallas on Nov. 13. As New Year’s nears, they haven’t lost again. “I think today showed some resolve,” Roethlisberger said. “I think we showed some ﬁght, no quit.” The Ravens took the lead on Kyle Juszczyk’s 10-yard burst up the middle with 1:18 remaining. But Roethlisberger calmly led the Steelers 75 yards in 10 plays to eliminate Baltimore (8-7), the last 4 yards on a play that could live on in team history — depending on how far Pittsburgh’s momentum can carry it. Joe Flacco passed for 262 yards, including a pretty 18-yard dart to Steve Smith that put Baltimore up 14-7 early in the third quarter. Smith ended up with seven receptions for 79 yards, but the Ravens crumbled late. Their defense put up little resistance as Roethlisberger clinically got his team in position to get back to the playoffs. “We didn’t want (Roethlisberger) to have a good game,” Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “We didn’t want (Brown) and (Bell) to kind of put their imprint on the game, or their stamp on the game, and they did that. They’re a good team. They’re well deserving. They won the division, we’ll applaud them, but we’ll be back.” It’s a destination that seemed to be disappearing right in front of Pittsburgh’s eyes in the third quarter. Roethlisberger threw a pair of interceptions deep in Pittsburgh territory — both poorly thrown balls to heavily covered targets — that helped the Ravens take control. “It’s pretty special the way we won it,” Roethlisberger said. “Especially after feeling the way I felt at a certain point in that game and feeling like you let guys down and you blew it.” Tony Dejak | AP Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James, right, drives to the basket against Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson in the first half Sunday in Cleveland. The Cavaliers won 109-108. Irving clutch as Cavs beat Warriors, 109-108 CLEVELAND (AP) — With another clutch shot, Kyrie Irving took the Warriors on a trip down memory lane. Irving dropped a short, turnaround jumper over Klay Thompson with 3.4 seconds left as the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied just the way they did in June’s NBA Finals to defeat Golden State 109-108 on Sunday in a marquee Christmas matchup that more than lived up to the hype. Down by 14 early in the fourth quarter, the Cavs chipped away and then put the ball in the hands of Irving, whose step-back 3-pointer over Stephen Curry on June 19 helped seal Game 7 and gave Cleveland its ﬁrst major pro sports championship since 1964. This time, Irving went deep in the lane before spinning and making his shot over Thompson, one of the league’s best defenders. “The kid is special,” LeBron James said of his teammate. “It was never in doubt.” Golden State had one last chance but Kevin Durant, who led all scorers with 36 points in his ﬁrst game in the league’s hottest rivalry, lost his balance coming off a screen and couldn’t get off a shot as time expired. Durant felt he was fouled by Richard Jefferson. “I was trying to make a move,” he said. “I didn’t fall on my own.” James scored 31 points with a season-high 13 rebounds, Irving added 25 points and Kevin Love 20 for the Cavs, who were down 3-1 in the Finals before storming back to stun a Warriors team that won 73 games during the regular season, but came up one victory short of winning their second straight title. Thompson added 24, Draymond Green 16 and Curry 15 — on 4 of 11 shooting — for the Warriors, who had their winning streak stopped at seven and fell to 9-1 against Eastern Conference teams. The biggest present under the tree for basketball fans this holiday was ﬁlled with drama, intensity and more than a few moments that sparked reminders of last season’s brilliant Finals. “‘It lived up to what everyone wanted it to,” James said. Irving drained a 3 from the wing that looked a lot like the one he made on June 19, but his bucket over Thompson had a higher degree of difﬁculty. “That’s a really hard shot,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “I thought Klay played tremendous defense. You don’t do anything different.” The Warriors set up a game-winning chance for Durant, but he stumbled with pressure applied by Jefferson and fell to the ﬂoor and watched helplessly as Cleveland’s fans roared and Cavs coach Tyronn Lue clapped and screamed. “We all think we’re fouled on every play in every single game,” Jefferson said. “That’s why I say I know the referees have a very hard job. I switched to his body. He looked like he lost his balance. He was trying to regain his balance and as soon as I saw him start to stumble, I ran off.” The teams will meet again Jan. 16 and then not again unless they make it back to the Finals — a “three-quel” that would be the ﬁrst in league history. To remind their guests of what happened in June, the Cavs left a door propped open just down the hallway from Golden State’s locker room where a large photo of James’ game-changing, careerdeﬁning block of Andre Iguodala in Game 7 was on display. The picture had been doctored with a Cavs championship ring taped over James’ left index ﬁnger. If there was any doubt that this game meant more than the other 81 to both squads and fan bases, Green took care of that in the opening minutes. After being called for his second personal foul, Green stormed off the ﬂoor, cursing with every step on his way to the bench. Green, whose suspension from Game 5 of the Finals helped swing the series to Cleveland, was slapped with a technical and several of his teammates came over to calm him down before things got worse. GRUMPY OLD MAN Jefferson still has some hops at 36. His dunk over Thompson in the fourth quarter sparked a 14-3 run by the Cavs. Following the play, Jefferson, who missed his ﬁrst eight shots, was called for a technical for winking at Durant. “I was a little bit surprised by it, but I think they were trying to rein it in,” said Jefferson, who was ejected from a game earlier this week. TIP-INS Warriors: Golden State fell to 11-15 on Christmas Day, 3-11 on the road. … Curry’s shooting a careerlow 40 percent on 3-pointers, but Kerr is conﬁdent he’ll ﬁnd his touch. “The great thing about Steph is he doesn’t worry about it too much,” Kerr said. “He’s got the conﬁdence of M.J. (Michael Jordan). Very few players I’ve ever seen can miss 10 shots in a row and then make the next one like it’s nothing. Steph’s done it his whole career.” Cavaliers: James (301) became the third player to surpass 300 points on the holiday, joining Kobe Bryant (395) and Oscar Robertson (377). … Cleveland has won 10 of 11. … Irving added 10 assists. …. James brought the crowd to its feet by blazing across the lane to swat a layup by Zaza Pachulia in the ﬁrst half. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
