Health officials still take precautions to prepare for Ebola By Michael Johnson michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com Michael Johnson/photo Signs, such as this one posted outside the emergency room intake office at Holzer Health Systems in Gallipolis, encourage people to wear a mask before making contact with staff if they experience certain symptoms. The Ohio Department of Health says the sign is meant as a general advisory for people with contagious illnesses such as influenza, enterovirus and the like. Ebola is not contagious, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. OHIO VALLEY — Even though recent cases of Ebola in the United States have generated plenty of questions and fear about how one contracts the virus, healthcare professionals in southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia say area residents have very little to fear. Dr. Gerald Vallee, Gallia County’s health commissioner, said no cases of Ebola have been reported in southeastern Ohio. He added that it would be highly unlikely a person would catch the virus, unless they’ve recently traveled to west Africa and/or have been in close contact with someone stricken with the virus. “You can’t get it from food, from drinking or breathing it in,” he said. “It has to be direct contact. If you’re in a public place and happen to be near someone who has Ebola, you won’t get it by being near them.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Ebola virus, formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals such as chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest. Ebola then spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact — through broken skin or mucous membranes — with See EBOLA | 3 Drums and Sums Fiscal officer walks out of village council meeting By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — A disagreement between a village council member and the fiscal officer Monday led to a quick night for the Middleport Village Council. Monday night’s meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m. after disagreements between Sue Baker, the village’s fiscal officer, and Richard Vaughan. The meeting began with council approving the payment of bills totaling $10,256.61. Baker noted that majority of the bills were for fire department expenses, including the outfitting of a new ladder truck and a new rescue truck. Baker said that the sale of the old ladder truck to Rio Grande left the village with money left over, so most of the bills were already paid with the money from that sale. Baker shared a PowerPoint presentation with council members, showing the year-to-date revenue and expenditures of street construction maintenance and repair, refuse, water operating, sewer operating and cemetery operating. Baker explained to the council the lack of revenue coming in to different departments because of the way council voted, and said she wanted them to understand the correlation between their decisions and how it affects the village. Discussion turned to the two license taxes that council will vote to either keep or cut. Currently, Middleport has three license taxes of $5 each, $15 total. Teri Hockman, listed as a visitor on the agenda, told council that the village won’t be able to fully pay for paving and salt in winter if these two license taxes are taken away, as the village would lose money. Vaughan questioned if Hockman was allowed to speak during the council meeting, and was informed that she could since she was listed on the agenda.

OVS hosts a Halloween Spooktacular Staff report GALLIPOLIS — There will be murder, fury and bats at the Ariel Theatre on Nov. 1 — at least in music. It’s all part of “Hallowspooktacular,” the second program in The Ohio Valley Symphony’s 25th anniversary season. Ray Fowler, the orchestra’s music director, conducts the performance at 8 p.m. in the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre in downtown Gallipolis. Concertgoers can look forward to an eerie mix of new and old, familiar and future favorites. Instead of the OVS’s usual elegance, though, audience members will see a stage filled with ghouls and goblins: The musicians will add to the macabre mood by donning costumes. “It’s just great fun,” said Lora Lynn Snow, the orchestra’s executive director. “It gives all of us musicians a chance to show off our fun side. It’s always so exciting to see what people show up as.” Performing at the Saturday Facebook “f ” Logo CMYK / .eps show is Brian Evans, who teaches speech and acting at Ohio University’s School of Dance, Film and Theater. He’s an experienced director, too, and a certified teacher of stage combat with the Society of American Fight Brian Evans Directors. His television acting credits include appearances on “Chappelle’s Show” and “Judging Amy.” Evans will narrate “The Composer is Dead,” an orchestral murder mystery about a composer’s death. It was written in 2006 by American composer Nathaniel Stookey — who’s still very much alive! — with text by Lemony Snicket. For those who are new to orchestral music, it also serves as an excellent introduction to the instruments of the symphony orchestra. Also on the program are three classics from the silver screen, Bernard Hermann’s suite from Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary “Psycho”; Danny Elfman’s theme to “Batman,” the 1989 movie reboot of the comic book dark hero; and Richard Rodney Bennett’s theme to the all-star 1974 film version of Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express.” Traditional classical greats are represented, too, with an excerpt from Richard Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra” — famous from the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” — and the “Dance of the Furies” from Christoph Gluck’s 1762 opera “Orfeo and Euridice.” “Hallowspooktacular” continues the OVS mission of bringing great music played by great artists to the Ohio Valley – and making orchestral music easy to love. To get a unique perspective on making music, the public is welcome to attend OVS rehearsals for free at 7-10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, and 1-4 p.m. Nov. 1. Open rehearsals are a great way for young and old alike to become more familiar with symphonic music, and they offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what goes into preparing an orchestral performance.

Another nurse, held for days in a medical tent in New Jersey after volunteering in West Africa, was in an undisclosed location in Maine, objecting to quarantine rules as overly restrictive. While world leaders appeal for more doctors and nurses on the front lines of the Ebola epidemic, health care workers in the United States are finding themselves on the defensive. Lawyers now represent both Amber Vinson, who contracted the virus while caring for a Liberian visitor to Texas, and Kaci Hickox, who is challenging the mandatory quarantines some states are imposing on anyone who came into contact with Ebola victims. The virus is still spreading faster than the response, killing nearly half of the more than 10,000 people it has infected in West Africa. World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said Tuesday that at least 5,000 more health workers are urgently needed in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon, traveling with him in Africa, said mandatory quarantines for health care workers, Ebolarelated travel restrictions and border closings are not the answer. The Pentagon announced Tuesday that the Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that he require all U.S. troops returning from Ebolafighting missions in West Africa to be kept in supervised isolation for 21 days. Balancing that and similar quarantines announced by several state governors, President Barack Obama said the Ebola response needs to be “based on science.” “We’ve got to make sure that those workers who are willing and able and dedicated to go over there in a really tough job, that they’re applauded, thanked and supported. That should be our priority. And we can make sure that when they come back they are being monitored in a prudent fashion,” Obama said after calling Vinson from the White House. Vinson’s trip home to join her bridesmaids for wedding preparations was one of several moves by doctors and nurses that could have exposed others in the United States. In Ohio alone, 163 people were still being monitored Tuesday because of contact or potential contact with Vinson in a bridal shop and on the airplanes she used. N.J. Gov. Chris Christie said voluntary stay-at-home measures were obviously insufficient, since even doctors and nurses had moved around in public before getting sick. He was among the first to announce mandatory 21-day quarantines for anyone who had contact with possibly infected people. Vinson, 29, was infected while caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, who died at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas on Oct. 8. She inserted catheters, drew blood, and dealt with Duncan’s body fluids, all while wearing protective gear. Dr. Bruce Ribner, an infectious disease expert who oversaw Vinson’s recovery at Emory University Hospital, said her doctors in Atlanta don’t know how she got infected in Dallas. He released no details about her treatment and wouldn’t say whether certain drugs are proving more effective. “The honest answer is we’re not exactly sure,” he said. But Emory University Hospital spokeswoman Holly Korschun later confirmed that Vinson Wednesday, October 29, 2014 3 Ebola received blood plasma from Ebola survivor Kent Brantly, and said Ebola survivor Nancy Writebol also donated her plasma, but it wasn’t ultimately needed. Ebola is only contagious when people who carry the virus get sick, and Vinson didn’t show symptoms before flying to Ohio on Oct. 10. She reported her temperature to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as required, on Oct. 13, and was cleared to fly back to Dallas. The next day, she developed a temperature, and on Oct. 15, she tested positive for Ebola. Another nurse, Nina Pham, also was infected by Duncan, and was released Oct. 24 from the National Institutes of Health. Vinson didn’t take any questions at Emory. Instead she read a statement thanking God, her relatives and her doctors, appealed for privacy as she returns home to Texas, and asked “that we not lose focus on the thousands of families who labor under the burden of this disease in West Africa.” Hickox, the Doctors Without Borders volunteer, was staying meanwhile in an “undisclosed location,” said Steve Hyman, one of her lawyers. Maine health officials announced that she will be quarantined at home for 21 days after the last possible exposure to the disease, following the state’s health protocols. But Hyman said he expected her to remain in seclusion for the “next day or so” while he discusses her situation with Maine health officials. Hyman said the state should follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which require only monitoring, not quarantine, for health care workers who show no symptoms after treating Ebola patients. “She’s a very good person who did very good work and deserves to be honored, not detained, for it,” he said. the CDC’s newly established protocols and guidelines for patients and healthcare workers.

As they learn new things, they issue new guidance.” McGuire told commissioners that many area residents have expressed their fears to her about contracting the Ebola virus. “I think it’s important to validate sources of information. Somethings things can be a little sensationalized and we have to doublecheck our sources for the real story.” Most important, McGuire said, is maintaining good health. “Just do the things we normally do to stay healthy,” she said. “That makes everybody feel better and it helps with everything, from the flu, colds and the enterovirus that’s been going around. Do your best to get enough sleep, wash your hands and get vaccines when necessary so that you can keep yourself as healthy as possible.” Vallee said there is a low risk of Ebola arriving in Gallia County. “But if it does, we’ll be ready for it,” he said.

The chasm between Democrats and Republicans has rarely been as wide as it is now, with the two parties able to find precious little upon which they can agree. We’re not necessarily alarmed by that trend, which primarily reflects ideological sorting among the electorate. Gone is the era in which both conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans made up substantial parts of their parties. While that may have removed some moderating impulses on both sides, there’s a lot to be said for a system in which the two major parties offer vividly clear, contrasting visions for America’s future. What does give us pause, however, is how an increasingly fractured media environment allows partisans on both sides to pretend that their ideological opponents don’t exist. A study released last week by the Pew Research Journalism Project suggests that may be precisely what’s happening. According to the results, the most fervent liberals tend to get their news primarily from friendly outlets like CNN, NPR, MSNBC and the New York Times. Strong conservatives demonstrated a similar tendency, although their tastes were dramatically more unified: nearly half of them turn primarily to Fox News. It’s only natural, of course, that most of us seek out points of view that reaffirm our core beliefs. As G.K. Chesterton noted, “The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.” There’s nothing wrong with having resolute opinions about first principles (something these pages strive for). That said, however, Americans would do well to think of their political opposites in slightly less-adversarial terms. According to the Pew study, strong liberals are the group most likely to block someone on social media or end a friendship over political differences. Conservatives may not suffer as acutely from that problem, but that could be because two-thirds of them say most of their friends already share their views anyway. The danger of an era in which Americans can sort themselves into ideological siloes is that it compounds the likelihood of misunderstanding or misrepresenting the other side’s point of view. Competition always benefits a free society — especially when it comes to ideas. We’d all be better off if we looked for more opportunities for political dialogue rather than a series of parallel monologues. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.) Register.

THEIR VIEW Ferguson protests are trivial It wasn’t so long ago that Ferguson, Mo., was supposed to be an American morality tale of racism, the militarization of police and all manner of other evil. For a few weeks in August, the attention of the national media focused on the suburb of St. Louis, and MSNBC practically broadcast nothing else. President Barack Obama even mentioned Ferguson at a U.N. speech in the context of terror groups that behead people and sectarian conflicts that kill hundreds of thousands of people. While the media long ago moved on, the protests have persisted, entering their late, decadent phase of selfindulgent triviality. Cornel West got arrested last week, and Al Sharpton is heading back to Ferguson at the end of the month to pump up attention for what styles itself a movement, although it is more tinny by the day. A hallmark of August was pointlessly destructive civil disorder, and it’s only gotten more pointless.

Brown kept coming toward Wilson despite orders to stop, and was 20-25 feet away when the last shots were fired. According to the witness, Brown did not raise his arms in the gesture of surrender that is the iconic symbol of the Ferguson protests. Although the witness believes Wilson didn’t have to kill Brown, his version is more complicated than the one taken as a given by the protesters. The New York Times has reported that Darren Wilson told investigators that Brown pinned him in his vehicle and there was a struggle over his gun, and he feared for his life. FBI forensics show that the gun was indeed fired twice in the car, and Brown’s blood was on the gun and Officer Wilson’s uniform. Sharpton and protesters maintain that all they want is justice. It may well be what justice demands in this case is no indictment of a cop who fired in self-defense. Although, sadly, that is unlikely to be a formula for peace. had its world premiere in Prague.

The talks begins at 7:15 p.m. the night of Meeting From page 1 Vaughan reportedly also told Baker to be quiet and that council didn’t want to listen to her, saying only the mayor should speak. Baker got up to leave but was encouraged to stay by Mayor Michael Gerlach. However, a few moments later Baker gathered her belongings left. Gerlach told Vaughan that financial information needed to be discussed, but thanks to him it could not be discussed further because the fiscal officer had left. Doug Dixon made a motion to adjourn the meeting early, and Vaughan seconded. A police officer was brought into the gymnasium and stood by the gymnasium entrance during the meeting briefly, but immediately stepped out, as the meeting had been adjourned. Oct. 13 meeting At the Oct. 13 Middleport Village Council meeting, Roger Manley made a motion to have an ordinance created that would cause the elimination of two of the three permissive tax license fees the village has enacted. During discussion, it was determined by Baker that each of the fees brings in about $20,000, thanks to an annual $5 additional fee to people when they register a vehicle. The money used from these fees goes toward maintenance, repair and paving of village streets. This includes road salt and spreader, snow plows, pot hole repair mix and the labor associated with this. Older seconded the motion made by Manley, and he, Dixon and Vaughan voted yes. Heighton and Burge voted no. An ordinance was created and brought to Monday night’s meeting Oct. 27. Gerlach told council that Morton Salt sent a letter saying they would not be able to supply the village with road salt this year because of a shortage.

Lastly, the village received a letter from Morton that said the village could get 75 tons of salt at $135.50 per ton. Roberts said he will check with Morton to see if the village can reserve 75 tons without having to purchase it all up front. He also asked if council wanted him to continue salting only the hills and intersections. They said yes and Manley suggested spreading it as thinly as possible. The mayor had arranged for a video presentation that was a short film by Quasar, explaining what they do and showcasing their operation at the Wooster, Ohio, waste water plant which Gerlach, Village Administrator Faymon Roberts, Kurtis Strickland and Susan Baker had toured earlier in the year. Quasar has constructed anaerobic digesters at that plant which has allowed them to produce all their own electricity, as well as sell extra to the grid, collect tipping fees from business concerns in the area and produce and sell fertilizer. This enabled Wooster to avoid having to build a $20 million upgrade to their plant, has greatly reduced the cost of running their plant and has created a new revenue stream. Quasar has plans to convert two waste water systems in southern Ohio to regional waste centers and is interested in working with the Middleport to become one of them. The mayor said that this is becoming an even bigger deal in Ohio because of the longstanding drought out west, which is bringing food production back to the eastern part of the country. Middleport officials said they are a good site for a regional waste center because they have the staff that understands the process, they are near the river, train tracks and the highway, and because they already own property that could be used for the site. Gerlach said Quasar is very interested taking with town officials and he asked council whether they wished to continue moving forward with the project. Dixon asked how much waste would be being hauled through the city. The mayor said probably none or very little since trucks would be using Route 7. Heighton said it sounded like a win-win situation. Gerlach said that the way it works now, sewage comes into Middleport lagoons and the village has to chlorinate it. After it processes through the lagoons for up to 100 days, the village then must de-chlorinate it before it can be discharged into the river. After extended discussion about the issue, Heighton made a motion to continue exploring this issue and Burge seconded. Council voted with five yes votes to approve. Manley voted no. Vaughan made a motion to table it until December the issue of eliminating the village administrator position. He said he felt this should be looked at before moving forward. Heighton seconded and Dixon, Older and Manley voted no. Vaughan, Burge and Heighton voted yes. This resulted in a tie vote. The mayor voted yes to break the tie. The motion carried and the issue is tabled. Manley made a motion to adopt a resolution to ask the solicitor’s opinion on whether eliminating the position of village administrator would break the contract the village has with Faymon Roberts. Present at the Oct. 13 meeting were Richard Vaughan, Roger Manley, Doug Dixon, Penny Burge, Sharon Older and Emerson Heighton.

The last Democrat to win without the state was John F. Kennedy in 1960. Presidential races in Ohio usually are very close, adding to the campaign intensity. So even in nonpresidential voting years, developments like Fitzgerald’s difficulties carry particular sting. The Cuyahoga County executive’s campaign first weathered the forced replacement of his running mate, only to face reports that police in 2012 found FitzGerald, a former FBI agent, in a parking lot at 4:30 a.m. with a woman who was not his wife and subsequent revelations that FitzGerald lacked a valid drivers’ license for about a decade. University of Dayton assistant communications professor Joe Valenzano likens the implosion of FitzGerald’s campaign to “watching a bad car accident in slow motion.” Ohio Republican Party spokesman Chris Schrimpf says it’s been “the worst campaign in the last 20 years,” and even Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern told the New York Times he wouldn’t allow the company that vetted FitzGerald “to clean out my bird cage.” Report proposes changes to W.Va. school system CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A state commission has recommended changes to West Virginia’s public school system to allow counties to better focus on student achievement. A report released Monday by the Commission on School District Governance and Administration recommends shifting some of the counties’ managerial duties to the state’s eight Regional Education Service Agencies. The change would require a restructuring of the regional offices, which help counties in their districts apply for grants and provide technical support. Their duties also have included training staff. “There are no plans to eliminate the state’s 55 county school system structure but we are looking at ways to be more efficient and effective,” West Virginia Board of Education President Gayle Manchin said in a news release. “For example, could county systems save money by merging administrative duties like finance and human resources? The money saved could go back to the classroom.” Marshall County Schools Superintendent Michael Hince said state officials should consider how the proposed mergers at the regional level would affect the public. “This would all depend on what you’re merging,” Hince told The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register. “On the state and county level, if you merge duties and responsibilities you affect taxpayers as well as local bonds and levies.” Ohio County Schools Superintendent Dianna Vargo said she does not foresee any issues with the possibility of future mergers. “We are collaborating with RESA 6 on a daily basis and are able to meet their needs as well as our own,” Vargo told the newspaper. “A few of (our) shared resources include the substitute employee system, computer technology and areas of professional development focusing on next generation initiatives.” She said the greatest challenge is meeting each student’s needs and personalizing education. “The collaboration between our administrators and faculty will continue to enable student success,” she said.

The 76ers surprised early, beating the Miami Heat and winning a string of games. They returned to form after that, but still managed to eke out 19 wins. So what did Sherman do this time around? Penciled them in at the Westgate Las Vegas sports book even lower — with a projected total of 15 and a half wins. “It’s a very similar team to last year,” Sherman said. “There’s no reason to think things will turn out differently.” Even the most optimistic Philadelphia fans aren’t crashing the betting windows at the Westgate to back their team at the lowest win total Sherman can remember posting in years. That the 76ers will be a bad team is pretty much a given, despite their strong start last year. Still, anyone wondering how the NBA season that begins Tuesday will end up can get a pretty good idea by looking at win totals posted in this gambling city’s sports books. Like the Cleveland Cavaliers with LeBron James? So do the books, which make the over/ under win total for the Cavs at 58 games, the most of any team on the board at the Westgate. Just behind are the defending champion San Antonio Spurs at 57, followed by the Los Angeles Clippers at 56. The win total for the other Los Angeles team, meanwhile, headed downward the more the Lakers played in preseason. Sherman said he first posted the Lakers total at 31 and a half games, but has dropped it several times as money from the socalled “wise guys” came in on the under. The Lakers will open the season with a projected win total of 29 games, just two more than they won last year with Kobe Bryant injured much of the season. The 36-year-old Bryant is back, but the aging superstar isn’t expected to win a lot of games for Los Angeles. “They just look like they’re going to have a tough time in the West,” Sherman said. “The way we view Kobe (Bryant) now with the type of injury he had and the time missed that his game is different than what it was. There’s no question some of his abilities have been diminished by injuries and age. Plus they’re going to have a lot of issues on defense when playing young, quick teams.” Betting on win totals is popular in legal sports books, though the limits are not generally high. Sherman said the Westgate takes up to $1,000 on the over/under totals, which are taken off the board once the season opens. While the Lakers are dropping because of Bryant, the Heat fell more than any team in projected win totals this season from last. With James, the Heat were projected to win 60 and a half games last year, though they came up short with just 54 wins. This season they’re on the board with a win total of 44 games — barely above breaking even in an 82-game schedule. The new-look Heat are also at 40-1 to win the NBA title, a far cry from the 2-1 odds Miami had at the beginning of last season. At the Westgate, bettors like the Cavaliers at 5-2 to win the title, followed by the Spurs at 3-1.

Browns TE Cameron suffers third concussion BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron is following NFL protocol after sustaining at least his third concussion in three seasons on Sunday. Cameron was struck in the back of the head by Oakland safety Brandian Ross in the second quarter while making a diving 21-yard catch. He walked to the locker room under his own power and did not return. Cameron had three catches for 40 yards before he got hurt. The 26-year-old missed one game last season with a concussion and two in 2012. Cameron is in the final year of his contract after catching 80 passes for 917 yards last season. Browns coach Mike Pettine did not know if Cameron reported to the team’s headquarters Monday. As protection in case Cameron can’t play for some time, the Browns claimed tight end Ryan Taylor off waivers from Baltimore. He made two career starts with the Ravens. Also, the Browns placed defensive lineman John Hughes on the injured reserve/designated for return list. Hughes hurt his knee late in the fourth quarter on Sunday. Hughes can’t practice for six weeks and must miss eight games. Pettine did not have a medical update on cornerback K’Waun Williams (neck).

Smith has had a troubled past, frequently in and out of the doghouse, in his college career. He had seen action in all seven games for the Buckeyes, carrying 24 times for 101 yards and four touchdowns. Although Smith’s absence will cut into Ohio State’s depth at the position, he was still only fifth on the team in rushing.

Cavs coach David Blatt said Love, acquired this summer in a blockbuster trade from Minnesota, “got banged a little bit.” Blatt did not say how Love sustained the injury, but made it clear the six-year veteran is “fine.” The Cavs open the season on Thursday at home against the New York Knicks. Love has had injury issues during his NBA career. He played in just 18 games in the 2012-13 season after twice breaking his right hand and undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his knee.

Elyse Black of Jack- SPORTS Wednesday, October 29, 2014 7 Pettine satisfied with ‘ugly’ win BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As he was leaving the stadium following Sunday’s win over Oakland, Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer took some playful teasing from assistant coach Dowell Loggains about a cap he was wearing. “You get that from Tom Brady?” Loggains cracked. “It’s stylish,” Hoyer countered. It was a much better look than Cleveland’s 23-13 win over Oakland. One week after an embarrassing road loss at Jacksonville, the Browns managed to hold at home despite rushing for just 39 yards, converting only 2 of 12 third downs and being outgained by the winless Raiders. Still, it was a win and Browns coach Mike Pettine isn’t about to apologize for it. “You’re going to have games like that,” he said. “When you look back at your wins there’s going to be some ugly ones and that one certainly wasn’t the prettiest. But I’ll sit up here and talk about ugly wins for a lot of Mondays.” At 4-3, the Browns have matched their win total from last season with nine games left. It’s their best start since 2007 and with Tampa Bay (1-6) coming to town this week, the Browns have a chance to pad their record. Just don’t ask Pettine to assess his team at this point in the season. Asked if he was pleased with his team’s status, Pettine gave an abrupt response. “No,” he said. “I could probably tell you a handful of plays from the four wins. I could tell you a lot of plays from the three losses. That’s just the curse I have that I inherited from my dad. We have to move on to the next one. You don’t get caught up in records. It’s way too early to even think about that stuff.” Pettine feels his team, which is still adjusting on offense from losing Pro Bowl center Alex Mack for the season, has improved on both sides of the ball. The Browns remain a work in progress, but after seven games they’re still in the discussion in the AFC North and that hasn’t been the case in late October for several seasons. “We’re getting better on defense, definite improvement there, which is encouraging,” Pettine said. “Offensively, we have taken a step backward due to the obvious circumstances, but we still found a way yesterday. As tough as the Jacksonville loss was on us, we’ve won three of our last four, which is encouraging. “We have some confidence, some momentum, and I think it’s a group that’s just starting to function well together.” Without Mack, the Browns’ running game is in reverse. After managing just 69 yards on 30 carries against the Jaguars, the Browns were even worse on Sunday. The Raiders crowded the line of scrimmage, challenging Cleveland’s offensive line to open holes. It was Nick McDonald’s first game at center and Pettine is confident the unit will improve with time. Hoyer’s performance wasn’t an artistic marvel, but that didn’t matter to Pettine. Hoyer was 19 for 28 for 275 yards and threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Hawkins to give Cleveland a 16-6 lead early in the fourth quarter. He missed some throws, forced a few others and didn’t do anything special. Other than win, that is. Hoyer improved to 7-3 as a starter, and at least muffled the screams by some Cleveland fans who continue to believe Johnny Manziel should be starting. Pettine acknowledged his quarterback made some mistakes, but none of them too big to overcome. “People get so wrapped in that performance,” Pettine said. “We won the football game. That’s bottom line. As long as our quarterback is playing good enough for us to win, We’re not looking for style points. We’re looking for wins. That’s what we’re ultimately judged on here. I’ll take ugly wins all day.” NOTES: With TE Jordan Cameron possibly missing time with a concussion, the Browns claimed TE Ryan Taylor off waivers from Baltimore. The team also placed DL John Hughes on injured reserve/designated for return after he injured his knee Sunday. Hughes does not need surgery, but he is not eligible to practice until Week 15 and play until Week 17. … Pettine isn’t expecting the Browns to make any trades before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline. “I know the phone is ringing,” Pettine said. “For all the talk that goes on, the number of trades that actually occur is minimal.” … Like Hoyer on Sunday, Pettine had high praise for Raiders rookie LB Khalil Mack. “I think he’s a future star in this league, if not one right now,” he said. Sanu carrying Bengals offense CINCINNATI (AP) — Mohamed Sanu has made the spectacular, game-turning plays with Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green sidelined the last three weeks because of an injured toe. Soon, the Bengals might have them on the field together. Sanu had two pivotal catches on Sunday during a 27-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens that moved Cincinnati (4-2-1) back in first place in the AFC North. He also had a 26-yard run on a reverse. The third-year receiver has developed into the Bengals’ most versatile player, one who can complete a long pass, catch one and turn the corner with his quarterback as a lead blocker. “Mo’s been playing great,” Andy Dalton said. “I have a lot of confidence in him, and he has a lot of confidence in himself that he’s going to make plays.” With Green hobbled by an injured big right toe since the season opener, Sanu has become the Bengals’ big-play threat. He leads the team with 35 catches for 533 yards and three touchdowns. Sanu also has completed two passes for 68 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown to Dalton. In addition, Sanu has 31 yards on three revers- Karl Merton Ferron/Baltimore Sun/MCT Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs (55) drags down Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (12) in the third quarter Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014 at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Ravens fell to the Bengals 27-24. es this season. He ran the ball twice on Sunday, with Dalton among the lead blockers both times. The quarterback got out of the way on the first one, but took down a Ravens defender and got the wind knocked out of him on the other one. “I saw that, too,” Sanu said. “As soon as that happened I looked down and cringed a little bit. The first time (Dalton got out of the way), I was like, ‘Good job, good job.’ But the second time it was like, ‘Hey, you don’t have to do that sometimes.’” Green has missed the last three games, but resumed running last week. Coach Marvin Lewis is optimistic that he could do more this week. It’s unclear whether Green could play on Sunday against Jacksonville (1-7) at Paul Brown Stadium. “He’s been doing very well,” Lewis said on Monday. “We’ll see how things are this week and how he comes through the week.” The offense is looking forward to getting them both on the field at the same time, forcing defenses to decide how to keep up with two deep-threat receivers. “Now it’s going to be that they’re going to have to play us straight- up,” Sanu said. “They can’t double-cover any one of us. They’re going to have to play man-toman. That’s what we want.” Sanu made the best catch of his pro career on the opening drive Sunday. Dalton threw a pass high over the middle, and Sanu pulled it down with his right hand and kept going for a 48-yard gain. The play set up Dalton’s 1-yard touchdown sneak. If Sanu didn’t get the high pass, it would have likely been intercepted. “I just knew I had to go up and try to at least make an attempt to catch the ball,” Sanu said. Buckeyes say they benefited from close call COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When a team faces an uphill climb yet still ends up winning, it gains something from the experience. At least that’s what Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is banking on. Meyer’s 13th-ranked Buckeyes survived their own mistakes and a Penn State rally to win 31-24 in double-overtime on Saturday night. So, was just getting out of Happy Valley with a win a good thing? “It’s not a good thing,” he said. “It’s a great thing.” The Buckeyes looked as if they could name the final score while building a 17-0 halftime lead. But then they watched the Nittany Lions come alive to tie the game in the final minute and then take a seven-point lead after the first possession of overtime. But the Buckeyes stayed alive on quarterback J.T. Barrett’s 5-yard run and then came right back to score on a 4-yard run by Barrett before a loud and rowdy crowd of 107,895 on white-out night at Beaver Stadium. They then had a defensive stop to get out of Happy Valley with smiles on their faces. “You’re down by several points in that environment, and (you can’t) look to anyone else for help. There’s 11 guys out there, and you have to score a touchdown, and we did,” Meyer said. “Invested players and invested teams really celebrate wins, and our guys did. You started getting your tail kicked and you came back and won. That builds toughness.” Meyer never said the words “Michigan State” but he might as well have. The Buckeyes play at the eighth-ranked Spartans a week from Saturday in the game of the year in the Big Ten. �Date of Public Notice: October 29, 2014 Vinton and Meigs Counties CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, October 29, 2014 Daily Sentinel PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF 401 APPLICATION Public notice is hereby given that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) Division of Surface Water (DSW) has received an application for, and has begun to consider whether to issue or deny, a Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification for a project to upgrade the Rolling Hills Generating Station (RHGS).

(AP) — Shared Belief was made the early 9-5 favorite on Monday in a field of 14 for the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, a race featuring a strong contingent of seven 3-yearolds taking on older foes. Shared Belief is 7-0 in his career, with all of his races coming in California. Shared Belief’s most recent win was in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita last month for coowner and sports talk host Jim Rome. The colt drew the No. 6 post for the 1 1/4-mile race on the same track. “He’s got speed all around him and we’ll be able to follow them into the first turn,” said Hall of Famer Mike Smith, the winningest jockey in the Breeders’ Cup who will ride Shared Belief. Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome will break from the No. 13 post as the 4-1 second choice. He has lost two straight races and one of his owners has said the colt will be retired if runs poorly on Saturday. “I just hope he has a great race,” trainer Art Sherman said. “He loves Santa Anita. The horse is training great and I look for a big performance out of him. I love the post position. I don’t have to be down there (inside).” Tonalist, who ended California Chrome’s Triple Crown bid with a victory in the Belmont, drew the No. 11 post and is the 6-1 third choice. Untapable, the nation’s top 3-year-old filly, is the 5-2 favorite for the $2 million Distaff, one of four Breeders’ Cup races on Friday. She will break from the No. 10 post under Rosie Napravnik in the field of 11. “I look for a huge race from her,” trainer Steve Asmussen said. Close Hatches is the 3-1 second choice and drew the No. 11 post, while Don’t Tell Sophia is the third choice at 5-1 from the seventh hole. Untapable won her first four starts this year, as did Close Hatches. Defending champion Beholder was sidelined by a fever. American Pharoah drew post position five in a field of 13 for the $2 million Juvenile, where the 2-year-old will try to position himself as the early favorite for next year’s Kentucky Derby. American Pharoah will be ridden by Victor Espinoza, who rides California Chrome in the Classic. Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, American Pharoah is 2 for 3 in his young career. His sire, Pioneerofthe Nile, finished second to 50-1 shot Mine That Bird in the 2009 Kentucky Derby. The Juvenile, to be run Saturday on the second of two days of racing during the 31st Breeders’ Cup, includes two entries each from Baffert, Todd Pletcher and Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien. Daredevil, who is 2 for 2 for Pletcher, landed in the tough outside post of No. 12. His other horse, Carpe Diem, also is 2 for 2. “Sometimes horses pull bad trips from good posts and vice versa,” Pletcher said. “Both horses are going into the Juvenile in great shape and they have been very good horses at the gate.” The Juvenile features one of the deepest fields in Breeders’ Cup history. Besides Daredevil and Carpe Diem, Blue Dancer and Souper Colossal also are undefeated. California Chrome is looking for a rebound in the Classic. After finishing fourth in the Belmont, he took an extended vacation and returned last month in the Pennsylvania Derby, where he ended up sixth. “He keeps getting stronger and stronger,” said Alan Sherman, assistant to his 77-year-old father, Art. “I think he’s coming into the race just as good, if not better, than he was into the Derby and Preakness.” The Classic field also includes Bayern, who will try to end Baffert’s 0-for12 skid in North America’s richest race, which caps Saturday’s card of nine Breeders’ Cup races. The $26 million world championships open Friday with four races, including the $2 million Distaff at 1 1/8 miles. An ankle injury has kept two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan out of the $2 million Mile, and his defection triggered a flood of 25 pre-entered horses. The maximum field of 14 includes Obviously, who finished third and fifth in the last two runnings. In the $1 million Juvenile Turf, Hootenanny drew post No. 5 as the 3-1 favorite under Frankie Dettori. Defending champion Goldencents was made the 6-5 favorite for the $1 million Dirt Mile, where he drew the No. 1 post in the field of 10. He is being trained by Leandro Mora, subbing for his boss Doug O’Neill, who is suspended for a medication violation. “Last year Goldencents drew post 12, and we got around it,” Mora said. “I think the rail is a positive because of the speed he has.” In the $1 million Juvenile Fillies Turf, Sunset Glow will break from the No. 3 post as the 7-2 favorite under Espinoza. Osaila and Qualify, a pair of Irish horses, were the 5-1 co-second choices. A FINE CROP: This crop of 3-year-olds could be one of the finest in recent memory. Seven of the 14 runners in the Classic are 3-yearolds taking on older rivals. The contingent includes Shared Belief and the second and third choices, California Chrome at 4-1 and Tonalist at 5-1. “I think they’re pretty good,” Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith said. “Each and every one of them has come in here strong. If California Chrome fires his Kentucky Derby race, he’s going to be tough.” California Chrome has the highest profile, with victories in the Derby and the Preakness. His bid for the Triple Crown was spoiled by Tonalist, who already owns a major victory over older runners in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park. Bayern, at 6-1, could be the pacesetter. Speed is his game, a skill that carried him to wins in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park and the Pennsylvania Derby last month. He will try to deliver the first Classic win for Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who is 0 for 12 in North America’s richest race. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
