TOPS is also looking at ways to update the event and thus enhance recognition for the winners. Judy then read an article by TOPS, Inc President, Rick Danforth who said, “If we as human beings are not growing and if we are not adapting, then we are simply waiting to die.” He challenged all TOPS members to increase their exercise regime by 10 minutes a day. After minimal discussion the Chapter decided to accept his challenge and log any exercise beyond the recommended 15 minutes daily. The minutes will be tallied and reported to TOPS so that national minutes totals can be calculated. Some members shared their recipes: Mary Rankin, squash and zucchini on the grill, Roberta Henderson, blackberry cobbler, Connie Rankin, green peppers with lite Ranch dressing and Judy Morgan shared her recipe for berry smoothies. Mary Bush read a weight loss success story from Dave Weber entitled, “Breaking the Cycle”. He says that “nothing taste as good as slim feels.” The group then played veggie bingo. There were multiple winners. Because it is believed that laughter is the best medicine, funny stories were then read/told by Pat Snedden, Carlene Tripplett, Kathy McDaniel, Nola Easterling and Connie Rankin. Connie Rankin read to the group that 100 laughs a day is equal to 10 minutes of exercise. Members dismissed by singing the TOPS Enthusiasm Song and then joining hands and reciting the “Helping Hand Circle” poem. TOPS information can be obtained from the TOPS website at TOPS.org, by calling Leader, Judy Morgan at 740-667-6641 or by contacting any Chapter member.

OHIO VALLEY — Heritage Ohio announced the latest in their Historic Tax Credit Coffee series set for Sept. 9 with meeting slated for Gallipolis and Pomeroy. Heritage Ohio created the series to introduce individuals and communities to the concept of rehabilitating older commercial buildings, using the federal 20 percent and Ohio 25 percent historic tax credits and introducing the people who run the program on behalf of Ohio’s Development Services Agency and the State Historic Preservation Ofﬁce. Heritage Ohio’s director, Joyce Barrett, summarized the workshop concept: “We recognized there is an audience that just wants a brief introduction, before they commit to hours of research. In one quick hour, we can show how it works and introduce the people who manage the program. They are great people working to help get buildings restored, not faceless bureaucrats.” Presenting the program will be Nathan Bevil, technical preservation services manager at the State Historic Preservation Ofﬁce, which reviews the historic integrity of the proposed work; Lisa Brownell, program manager at the Ohio Development Services Ofﬁce who assists applicants in applying for the competitive Ohio program; and Barb Powers, who manages the National Register process for Ohio, the qualifying designation necessary to use some of the historic tax credits. The “coffees” will take place in a whirlwind tour of four communities in four counties on Sept. 9: Washington, Meigs, Gallia, and Lawrence counties are on the schedule. There is no charge to attend. Heritage Ohio has organized “coffees” in 57 courthouse-communities in the past three years. Barrett stated: “The combination of the 20 percent federal and 25 percent state historic tax credits may appear too good to be true, but it is real, come ﬁnd out more.” Heritage Ohio strives to help people save the places that matter, build community, and live better. Heritage Ohio is the leading statewide, non-proﬁt preservation organization. Formed in 1989, Heritage Ohio has more than 500 members ranging from individuals and businesses to organizations and local governments. In addition, Heritage Ohio has been the designated coordinating agency by The National Main Street Center since 1997. Learn more by visiting www.heritageohio.org. Gallipolis will host a meeting at 333 Third Avenue, (Gallipolis Municipal Building) from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Pomeroy will hold a meeting at 236 East Main Street (Meigs Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development ofﬁces) from 11 a.m. to noon. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Friday, August 16, 2019 3A Hannan High School football helmets reportedly stolen Wildcats tackling adversity “I told the kids on the first day that our helmets were missing. The kids were asking, what are we going to do?” — Kellie Thomas, coach By Beth Sergent and Bryan Walters ASHTON, W.Va. — Call it a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. Call it unnecessary roughness. Deﬁnitely call it a delay of game. Call it what you will but one thing Hannan High School Football isn’t calling it, after its football helmets were reportedly stolen this summer, is quits. “The situation has created a little bit of adversity for us to deal with, but these young men are still here working their butts off every day trying to get ready for the season. It would be a shame to take that away from the kids because of someone else’s thoughtless actions,” Kellie Thomas, head football coach for Hannan, said. Mason County Schools Superintendent Jack Cullen said Hannan Vice Principal Cherry Weikle reported noticing the helmets were gone on July 29. Due to a water leak, the helmets were moved and stored in the shower area of the athletic building where they were stolen. It’s unknown exactly how many helmets were taken but Cullen estimated around 25. According to separate conversations with Cullen and Mason County Sheriff’s Deputy Kendall Roush, also the school’s resource ofﬁcer (SRO), security footage at the school shows a side-byside utility vehicle pull up to the athletic building, with two individu- competing in scrimmage action.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent — the power to do the right thing the first time.” — Elbert Hubbard, American writer (1856-1915) In 2002, terrorist mastermind Abu Nidal reportedly was found shot to death in Baghdad, Iraq; he was 65. In 2003, Idi Amin, the former dictator of Uganda, died in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia; he was believed to have been about 80. Ten years ago: Negotiators averted a strike against the San Francisco Bay Area’s commuter rail hours before a midnight deadline. Y.E. Yang of South Korea became the ﬁrst Asianborn player to win one of golf’s majors with a three-stroke win over Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship in Chaska, Minnesota. Usain Bolt ran to another world record, winning the 100-meter race in 9.58 seconds at the world championships in Berlin. Five years ago: Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, where police and protesters repeatedly clashed in the week since a black teenager was shot to death by a white police ofﬁcer. Pope Francis beatiﬁed 124 Korean martyrs during an open-air Mass in Seoul. One year ago: Aretha Franklin, the undisputed “Queen of Soul,” died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. Newspapers across the country pushed back against President Donald Trump’s attacks on “fake news” with a coordinated series of editorials in defense of a free press. The Pentagon said the Veterans Day military parade ordered up by President Trump wouldn’t happen in 2018 and that ofﬁcials were now looking at 2019; the announcement came hours after reports that the parade would have an estimated cost of $92 million, more than three times the price ﬁrst suggested by the White House. purpose of this particular action. “Every day for roughly two weeks, I’ve sat and wondered who would do something like this? Even last year, with everyone wanting to focus on me being the ﬁrst female head football coach in West Virginia — I always tried to turn the spotlight back on the kids. This game is all about them and less about me or anyone else,” Thomas said. Thomas said the support of Mason County Schools literally “gave us our football season back…and we are truly appreciative of them stepping up for our kids.” Cullen added the school is already taking added security measures to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Roush said this incident remains under investigation. Hannan is also getting new football uniforms this fall, but that was already in the works before the helmets disappeared. Hannan went 0-9 last fall under Thomas in her ﬁrst season. The Wildcats have dropped 14 consecutive decisions, dating back to a 41-8 home victory over Jenkins (KY) back on Sept. 29, 2017. Hannan opens the season Aug. 31 at Parkersburg Catholic and will be fully dressed, helmets and all, prepared to play. Beth Sergent is editor of Ohio Valley Publishing.

The Mean Green could have also ended up at the opposite end of the standings after ﬁve of their league games were decided by a ﬁeld goal or less. “There’s so much parity in our league,” UNT coach Seth Littrell said. “We were 3-2 in those games.

We could have very easily been 0-5.” Going into Littrell’s fourth season, and with two-time �<C+8�'+6>/<=n�& �#:9<>= Marshall wideout Obi Obialo (7) celebrates in front of the student section after scoring C-USA offensive player of the a touchdown during a Sept. 8, 2018, football contest against Eastern Kentucky at Joan year quarterback Mason Fine C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. one of nine starters back on the league’s highest-scoring offense, the Mean Green are again favored in the West Division. “I think the biggest thing we’ve learned throughout those games is maybe being able to overcome adversity a little bit better than we did this past year,” said Littrell, whose team has had consecutive nine-win seasons. “Maybe just being a little bit more mentally tough this upcoming season will help us.” UNT’s three C-USA losses were by a combined 13 points, including 29-21 to division foe and overall league champion UAB. In the Mean Green’s other two league losses, they had a ﬁeld goal attempt blocked in the ﬁnal minute of a 29-27 home loss to Louisiana Tech, and blew a 28-0 lead in the ﬁrst half of a 34-31 loss at Old Dominion. The Mean Green were among six C-USA teams that went to bowl games, though Fine was injured early in the New Mexico Bowl. They ended up using three other quarterbacks in a 52-13 loss to Utah State, but the league still went 4-2 in bowl games, the best postseason winning percentage by any conference last season. “The last couple of years, it’s been a tough league,” Southern Miss coach Jay See CUSA | 2B Jay-Z defends NFL deal with Roc Nation, talks Kaepernick NEW YORK (AP) — A day after Jay-Z announced that his Roc Nation company was partnering with the NFL, the rap icon explained that he still supports protesting, kneeling and NFL player Colin Kaepernick, but he’s also interested in working with the league to make substantial changes. The Grammy winner and entrepreneur ﬁelded questions Wednesday at his company’s New York City headquarters alongside NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. When directly asked if he would kneel or stand, Jay-Z said: “I think we’ve moved past kneeling and I think it’s time to go into actionable items.” He then added: “No, I don’t want people to stop protesting at all. Kneeling — I know we’re stuck on it because it’s a real thing — but kneeling is a form of protest. I support protest across the board. We need to bring light to the issue. I think everyone knows what the issue is — we’re done with that,” he added. “We all know the issue now. OK, next. What are we moving (on to) next? …And I’m not minimizing that part of it because that has to happen, that’s a necessary part of the process. But now that we all know what’s going on, what are we going to do? How are we going to stop it? Because the kneeling was not about a job, it was about injustice.” Jay-Z has been among the biggest supporters of Kaepernick, who sparked a ﬁssure in the NFL when he decided to kneel when the national anthem was played before games to protest the killings of blacks by police ofﬁcers. Some called him unpatriotic, and he has not played for the NFL since he opted out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers in 2017. Earlier this year, the NFL settled a lawsuit brought by Kaepernick and Eric Reid that alleged that owners colluded to keep them from playing in the league (Reid criticized Jay-Z’s new deal with the league). When asked why he didn’t involve Kaepernick in the new Roc Nation-NFL deal, Jay-Z said: “You’d have to ask him. I’m not his boss. I can’t just bring him into something. That’s for him to say.” Jay-Z also said he and Kaepernick had a conversation about the new deal but offered no details about what was discussed. Kaepernick didn’t comment on the deal, but tweeted about his social justice work Wednesday. “Today marks the three year anniversary of the ﬁrst time I protested systemic oppression. I continue to work and stand with the people in our ﬁght for liberation, despite those who are trying to erase the movement! The movement has always lived with the people!” he wrote. The NFL and Jay-Z’s entertainment and sports representation company announced Tuesday they were teaming up for events and social activism, a deal Jay-Z said had been in the works over the last seven months.

Who is next to surge in AAC? By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press Nobody saw Cincinnati coming in the American Athletic Conference last year. Not even Luke Fickell, who guided the team to a seven-victory improvement in his second season as Bearcats coach. “As you go through it in your head did you really imagine yourself winning 11 games in Year 2?,” Fickell said. “The progression throughout the entire year is what you remember most.” Best to expect the unexpected in the AAC. The league has been fertile ground for fast turnarounds since it rose from the ashes of the old Big East in 2013. Starting in 2014, when Memphis jumped from three victories to 10 and a share of the conference championship, the American has had at least one team each season that reached double-digit victories while improving by at least four wins. The Bearcats’ rapid rise from 4-8 to 11-2 followed UCF jumping from 6-7 to 13-0 in 2018. Tulsa went from six to 10 wins in 2016. In 2015, Houston surged from eight to 13 victories and Temple jumped from six to 10. So while the major story line in the AAC is whether UCF can be dethroned — or simply defeated — after consecutive unbeaten regular seasons and conference championships, maybe the more interesting question is who will be next to take a giant leap? — Steadily improving Tulane went 7-6 last season, winning a bowl game for the ﬁrst time since 2002. The Green Wave have some standout defensive linemen in 320-pound nose tackle Jeffery Johnson and end Patrick Johnson, who had 10.5 sacks last season. — SMU under secondyear coach Sonny Dykes was in the thick of the West Division race last season until losing its last two. The Mustangs add former Texas quarterback Shane Buechele, among several transfers who could give SMU more staying power. — Navy is coming off its worst season in the 11-year tenure of Ken Niumatalolo at 3-10. Could a new defensive coordinator (Brian Newberry, previously at Kennesaw State), a re-commitment to shifty quarterback Malcolm Perry and a more manageable schedule spark a resurgence for the Midshipmen? Replacing KZ The conference lost its biggest star when UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton went down with a serious leg injury in the regular-season ﬁnale last year. One of the leading contenders to replace Milton, Darriel Mack Jr., who started in his absence, broke his ankle during the summer. That leaves Notre Dame graduate transfer Brandon Wimbush as the presumptive starter, though Mack should return at some point. Wimbush started 16 games the past two seasons for the Fighting Irish. Accuracy has been a problem (50.5 career completion percentage), but his arm is strong, he is a dynamic runner (1,156 yards and 16 touchdowns), and he will not shy away from the spotlight. “He’s a charismatic guy. A great person to be around for sure. Wants to be a leader. Wants to be a part of the team,” receiver Gabriel Davis said. “He ﬁt right in to what we got going on.” Milton is hoping to return in 2020, but he will be coaching up his replacement this season. Unusual move The AAC has become known as a breeding ground for up-and-coming coaches. In recent years Tom Herman, Matt Rhule, Willie Taggart and Justin Fuente made the jump from the American to Power Five conferences. Dana Holgorsen went against the trend, leaving West Virginia in the Big 12 to take over at Houston. “To me there’s no difference. The University of Houston and a lot of the schools in the American are no different than the conference I just left,” Holgorsen said. “I’m looking at it from a coaching perspective. If I’m at any school in the quote, unquote Power Five — which I fully embrace us being a Power Six because of what I’m about to say — I look at the teams in this conference and I really don’t want to play them in the nonconference. Because those guys are really good.” Holgorsen will beneﬁt from the return of quarterback D’Eriq King, who accounted for 51 touchdowns in 11 games before a knee injury in November ended his season. Holgorsen will also have to navigate a strange and demanding early schedule. The Cougars play four games in 18 days, starting with a Sunday night opener at Oklahoma. Power Six The American relishes its chances to prove itself against the Power Five. Houston’s opener against OU is one of several opportunities, including: — Houston also plays Washington State at NRG Stadium, home of the Texans on Sept. 13. — Cincinnati opens at home against UCLA and goes to Ohio State on Sept. 7. — UCF hosts Stanford (Sept. 14) and travels to Pitt (Sept. 21). — USF opens at home against Wisconsin and plays at Georgia Tech the next week.

TVMA “First thing I said to Roger was, ‘If this is about me performing at the Super Bowl, then we can just end this conversation now,” Jay-Z said. The league plans to use Roc Nation — home to Rihanna, DJ Khaled and other stars — to consult on and co-produce its entertainment presentations, including the Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL will also work with Jay-Z’s company to help its Inspire Change initiative, created by the league after an agreement with a coalition of players who demonstrated during the national anthem to protest social and racial injustice in this country. Those demonstrations were sparked by Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem in 2016. “Everyone’s saying, ‘How are you going forward if Kaep doesn’t have a job?’ This was not about him having a job. That became part of it,” Jay-Z said. “We know what it is — now how do we address that injustice? What’s the way forward?” Jay-Z added that “the NFL has a huge platform and we can use that huge platform.” “I believe real change is had through conversation, real conversation and real work … and what better way to do it than where the conversation ﬁrst took place.” Jay-Z has turned down CUSA invitations to perform at the Super Bowl, even rapping about it in a song. Rihanna has also turned down the gig. Jay-Z said he is not performing at the 2020 halftime show, which his company will co-produce, and said he turned down the offer in the past because he “didn’t like the process.” “You take four artists and everyone thinks they’re playing the Super Bowl, and it’s almost like this interview process,” he said. “I think the process could have been more deﬁnite.” Maroon 5 headlined this year’s halftime show and when it was announced that Travis Scott was to join as a special guest, reports surfaced online that Jay-Z didn’t want the rapper to perform. Jay-Z acknowledged that was true, but clariﬁed it didn’t have anything to do with Kaepernick. “My problem is (Travis) had the biggest year to me last year,” Jay-Z explained, “and he’s playing on a stage that had an M on it. I didn’t see any reason for him to play second ﬁddle to anyone that year and that was my argument.” Goodell also answered several questions Wednesday. When a reporter asked a question, looking at both Goddell and Jay-Z, the rapper said: “Are you asking me?” “I’m not the commissioner yet,” Jay-Z said as the room burst into laughter.

There will be one more “ﬁnal” home game at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, on Dec. 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There have been possible “ﬁnal” home games for a few years now because the Raiders have had one foot out the door since 2015, when they joined with the AFC West rival Chargers in a failed attempt to build a stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson. This time, though, it almost certainly will be farewell for one of the NFL’s most recognizable teams and fan bases. The Raiders are scheduled to move into a gleaming new $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat stadium in Las Vegas in 2020. The climate-controlled palace — funded in part with $750 million in public money — will make the Coliseum look like a relic. It will be the second time the Raiders have moved since Chris Dobbins, 47, has been a fan. This time, they won’t be back. “Oh, it’s disastrous,” said Dobbins, an attorney who is co-founder and president of Save Oakland Sports. “In terms of twice in my lifetime when the team’s left, it’s very depressing.” The Raiders have been the deﬁnition of lame ducks. Their move to Las Vegas was approved by the NFL in March 2017, but they’ve had to stay in Oakland until the new stadium is ready. They explored other options for this season, then agreed to a lease in Oakland for this year, plus an option for 2020 in case the Las Vegas stadium isn’t ready. Fans know the end is near. “This is the ultimate ‘Hard Knocks’ for Oakland Raider fans who have now lost their team for the second time,” said Andy Dolich, a long-time sports executive and Bay Area sports fan. He was referring to the HBO series that is featuring the Raiders this year. Of course, relocations are nothing new in the NFL, which celebrates its 100th season this fall. Some are quick, like the Baltimore Colts escaping to Indianapolis in Mayﬂower moving vans in the middle of the night. Others are drawn out and painful. They tear at the fabric of communities and rip fan bases apart, with some swearing allegiance to their team no matter where it plays, while others stay loyal to the soil and cut ties for good. Bitter Twitter exchanges rage between fans angry about losing their teams and new fans who say the affected cities didn’t do enough to keep the NFL. Many jilted fans swear off the NFL itself, saying the league cares more about money than them. Once the Raiders are in Las Vegas, the recent wave of relocations of three teams will have affected ﬁve markets, with Los Angeles gaining two teams, St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland losing America’s most popular sport. With the NFL looking to end its 22-year absence from Los Angeles — which had been a nice bargaining chip for owners elsewhere to wrangle new stadium deals to stay put — the Rams won the race for the nation’s second-largest city. Stan Kroenke, one of the league’s richest owners, dazzled his peers with plans for a nearly $5 billion stadium complex in Inglewood . The Rams were given approval in January 2016 to leave St. Louis and return to their former home. The Chargers and Raiders were told to give it another try in their home markets. Both of those efforts failed, in large part because Californians are generally loathe to bestow public money on billionaire owners. “Stadiums are the main story, much more so in the NFL than other leagues,” said Andrew Zimbalist, a professor of economics at Smith College in Massachusetts. “The reason people leave in football isn’t so much they want to go to a large demographic center, it’s because there’s a better stadium somewhere else. It’s purely a stadium-driven thing in the NFL.” San Diego voters, weary of the Chargers’ 15-year effort to wrangle public money and/or land to build a new stadium, said no to Dean Spanos’ hastily written ballot measure in 2016 and lost its team of 56 years to Los Angeles, where the second-generation owner likely will beneﬁt from Kroenke’s vision and deep pockets. Oakland city ofﬁcials made it clear that public money would go to related infrastructure but not a stadium itself, and Mark Davis, another second-generation owner, found a sweetheart deal for the Raiders in bustling Las Vegas. When the Chargers divorced themselves from San Diego in January 2017, fans ﬂocked to their headquarters and dumped jerseys, pennants, caps and other gear into a large pile that was set aﬁre. Others were more practical, giving teambranded clothing to agencies that help the homeless. But even as the pile of singed memorabilia was scooped into a dumpster behind the Chargers’ headquarters, the team was handing out free jerseys and caps in Los Angeles in an attempt to build a new fan base. The Chargers will play a third and ﬁnal season this fall at a suburban L.A. soccer stadium before becoming a tenant in Kroenke’s stadium. The Rams, Raiders and Chargers have been involved in eight of the NFL’s 13 major moves since 1946. The Rams moved from Cleveland to Los Angeles in 1946. In 1980, they stayed in the metropolitan area but vacated the Coliseum for Anaheim while keeping the Los Angeles name. With the Coliseum freed up on Sundays, Al Davis moved the Raiders there Colts rookie cornerback gets first big test against Browns WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Indianapolis Colts cornerback Rock Ya-Sin has impressed coaches with his playmaking skills. He passed another signiﬁcant milestone Wednesday.. In the ﬁrst of two joint practices against Cleveland, Ya-Sin held his own against the Browns’ receivers, and quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld never even challenged the rookie in seven-on-seven or 11-on-11 drills. “I felt like I competed well, felt like I worked hard,” YaSin said. “I deﬁnitely want to continue to get better, whether it’s against a guy on our team or their team.” Ya-Sin didn’t go oneon-one with either of the Browns’ projected starting receivers — Odell Beckham Jr. or Jarvis Landry, the talented college teammates who were reunited in a draft-week trade. Landry did limited work, none against Ya-Sin, and Beckham again sat out though he was dressed. Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said Beckham hasn’t practiced recently because he “has a little something going on in there” and that he hopes the Browns top receiver returns “soon.” It could happen Thursday when the Browns will help the Colts close out training camp on the Grand Park Sports Campus in suburban Indianapolis. The teams will square off for a third time in Saturday’s preseason game, just a short drive away from Westﬁeld, Indiana, where both bleacher sections were almost full and almost equally divided between Browns and Colts fans. Aside from one brief skirmish between Colts running back D’Onta Foreman and Browns cornerback Lenzy Pipkins, the ﬁrst workout went pretty smoothly. “We’re not going to take anything from anybody,” Kitchens said, explaining why he might not discipline any of his players for the dust-up. Indy’s biggest concern continues to be Andrew Luck’s lower left leg injury, which has kept their starting quarterback off the ﬁeld for all but three practices since April. Luck did not speak with reporters Wednesday but did watch practice in street clothes with his ankle and lower calf areas appearing to be taped. Luck’s return also remains unclear though a decision on his availability for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener could be made in less than two weeks. “You have to be able to make a call and move from there whether we’re full speed with Andrew after that third preseason game or, if at that point, we are going with Jacoby (Brissett),” coach Frank Reich said. But the joint practices are about more than known commodities. For instance, the Colts are eager to see how their second-round draft pick fares against new faces and crafty veterans. “The experience that you get as a young rookie going against another skill set, the learning experience you get from knowing yourself and knowing another opponent and then what works for you and what didn’t work is invaluable,” defensive coordinator Matt Eberﬂus said. “We tell our players this all the time — it doesn’t matter if it was a good experience or a bad experience, what matters is what you learned after the fact.” Ya-Sin has proven himself a quick learner at every stop he’s been lately. Since December 2017, the Football Championship Subdivision standout transferred to Temple for his ﬁnal season, was chosen a captain, made scouts take notice at the Senior Bowl and started moving quickly up draft boards with workouts at the NFL’s annual combine and Temple. The Colts thought highly enough of him to take him with their ﬁrst draft pick in April, No. 34 overall. What they liked on tape was Ya-Sin’s long arms, sturdy body and physical nature — a combination that allows him to play bigger than his listed size of 6-feet, 190 pounds. But what really sets him apart is his ability to make big plays. He’s gotten his hands on the ball almost every day at camp until Wednesday when he never got a chance. And that might be the best compliment of all. “It’s kind of surreal, like a dream come true,” Ya-Sin said, referring to the opportunity to line up against some of the guys he’s been watching on television for years. “I feel like I worked and created an environment where I could see myself learning.” in 1982, and the next year they won the city’s only Super Bowl championship. After the 1994 season, the Rams bailed for St. Louis and the Raiders returned to Oakland, where they began play in 1960 as an original AFL team. The Rams, unhappy with their stadium situation, left St. Louis for Hollywood before the 2016 season, making the Coliseum their temporary home. St. Louis also lost the Cardinals to Arizona in 1988, and the Cardinals originally were located in Chicago. As for the Chargers, they began life in Los Angeles in 1960, also as an original AFL team, but their owner, hotelier Barron Hilton, was lured to San Diego in 1961. They rebranded as the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017. Some cities that have lost teams have gotten new ones. Baltimore got what had been the Cleveland Browns, with Art Modell moving his team to Maryland in 1996 to become the Ravens while leaving the Browns name, colors and history behind. The new Browns began play in 1999. The Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee in 1997 and eventually rebranded as the Titans. The expansion Houston Texans began play in 2002. Based on the current economics and cost of stadiums, it would be surprising if the NFL ever returns to San Diego and Oakland. The Raiders’ once-rabid fan base, which turned every autumn Sunday into Halloween with wild, elaborate costumes, hasn’t been the same since the move to Las Vegas was ﬁnalized, said Dobbins, whose term on the Coliseum Joint Powers Authority Board recently ended. “Last year after it became a fait accompli, you didn’t see the passion that was there previously,” he said. “People are upset. The teams have been lousy, also. It was funny, when the Chargers were in town, it had been a big rivalry but the fans commiserated with each other. Rams fans and Chargers fans were upset about what transpired. Every game generates around 2,000 jobs, but it’s also hard to quantify when you lose a team, what it does to the fabric of the community. It’s very upsetting.” Dobbins said he won’t attend games in Las Vegas, but knows fans who will. Sin City, meanwhile, is getting ready to welcome the NFL. Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, said it’s exciting watching the new stadium rising from the desert ﬂoor. “It’s just great to see. Five years ago we wouldn’t have thought that was possible, and now it’s happening,” he said. In San Diego, many fans have turned against the Chargers while some still cheer for them, or at least for quarterback Philip Rivers, who continues to live in the city while commuting north to practices and games. Memo Garcia, 63, had been a Chargers fan since his dad ﬁrst took him to a game at Balboa Stadium in 1963, back in the era of Hall of Famer Lance Alworth, Keith Lincoln and Paul Lowe. When they moved, Garcia got rid of most of his Chargers gear except for a few jerseys, an AFL pennant and an aerial photo of Balboa Stadium. He even changed his Twitter handle to Formerly Boltmen and his address to (at)NoMasBolts. “I was a fan of the San Diego Chargers,” he said. “To me there’s still an importance of where the team is from. They represented my turf. They don’t anymore.” He’s largely sworn off the NFL. “I’ve got no dog in the hunt,” he said. Johnny Abundez, known on Twitter as (at)JonE_Boltpride, said he’s still a Chargers fan, but not with the same passion as before. “Phillip Rivers is still my QB! How can you not love him?” Abundez said.

Sometimes, these arguments even get out of hand to the point of people getting hurt. Disagreeing or having our own opinions is not wrong, but how we handle those different ideas can be if we take it to the extreme. God’s Kids Things were like this in Korner the Bible sometimes too. Ann Jesus says in our Scripture Moody for this week that He came and knew He was going to cause people to disagree about who He was and what He was doing. But Jesus also knew He had a destiny to fulﬁll for His Father God. Like today, Jesus caused even families to argue with each other about their different ideas of who He was. When someone disagrees with us about something, we can calmly state what we believe, but we never have to turn it into an argument or ﬁght. We just need to listen to them, ask them to listen to us, and then either come to an agreement or agree to disagree. And that doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends with them either! Friends don’t always have to have the same opinion on things to stay friends. But we can pray about the situation and ask God to help us be good examples of what we believe. The best way to convince anyone of our position is to demonstrate what we believe by the way we live our lives. It isn’t our job to “save” anyone else. Salvation is God’s job where the Holy Spirit convicts someone to accept Christ into their heart. Our job is to live the Christian life to the best of our ability through love. That always means trying to do the right thing in the right way at the right time. God can help us do that if we ask Him. Let’s say a prayer for this week. Dear Father God, help us to be good examples to our friends and always do what You would have us to do. Thank You for sending Jesus as our best example of how to live in love. Amen.

Both of these passages teach a And then, as Jesus pointed out, similar principle: the principle of proper prioritization. God wants men while we should properly consider others before self, we should realize to understand that in this life there are some things more important than that we ourselves are more valuable other things.

Gaining a home in heaven is worth They place too much emphasis and the sacriﬁces we might have to make spend too much time on things that to gain that home. Thus did Paul, matter only a little, and they spend far too little time on those things that who had given up much for the cause of Christ, observe, “Indeed, I count matter greatly. everything as loss because of the surIf we were to quickly summarize, passing worth of knowing Christ Jesus in broad strokes, the order of proper priorities, as taught in the Scriptures, my Lord.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1 ﬁrst in our lives. The greatest comJohn 2:15)” And Jesus warned us that mandment is this: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and we cannot serve both God and money.

In fact, if we were to be honto please Him in all that we do (cf. 1 est in our assessment of how most John 5:3). This is the great duty of people plan and prioritize, we would man (cf. Ecclesiastes 12:13). When we must choose between God, or any observe that many people, maybe even ourselves, get everything exactly backother thing, choosing God is always wards. Things of the world take prethe right choice. cedence over all else, and men devote their lives to money, pleasure, power, prestige. The temptations of the world prove too great, and all is sacriﬁced in the pursuit of temporal things. Likewise, self is frequently prioritized over the good of others. The world even teaches us to, “look out for number one,” and “take care of yourself ﬁrst.” Gone is the love of Christ which was willing to be humbled, and in its place is the pride of life, which refuses to serve, demanding rather to be served. And placed last of all in the priorities of the world is God, and the things of God. He who should be most important becomes an afterthought, if He is thought of at all. Rather than sacriﬁcing for God, men, if they pray, think primarily of what God can do for them. Rather than praising God for all that He has done, God is blamed for all of their mistakes and troubles. God’s worship is neglected, His word is ignored, and His commands are routinely broken. But when our priorities are all wrong, our live is backwards and upside down. No wonder the world is so frequently miserable. God, who designed us, crafted us so as to ﬁnd fulﬁllment in a life properly ordered. Men, following their own wisdom, tears apart everything, including themselves, because they put ﬁrst things last and last things ﬁrst. If we wish to ﬁnd our proper place in the world, we are well advised to do it God’s way, knowing that the wisdom and knowledge of God is far superior to that of men. We should recall the Lord’s caution and rebuke to Martha. Martha was choosing those things that she would one day lose. Mary was choosing those things that would not be taken away from her. If we prioritize properly, we too can choose the better things.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District, is requesting to increase the amount of bank stabilization from 800 LF to 5490 LF. The project is located in the village of Pomeroy. The Ohio EPA ID Number for this project is 185984. Discharges from the activity, if approved, would result in degradation to, or lowering of, the water quality of the Ohio River.

In accordance with OAC rule 3745-1-05, an antidegradation review of the application will be conducted before deciding whether to allow a lowering of water quality.

(AP) — New Orleans’ Superdome, the iconic domed stadium that’s home to the Saints football team, will be getting a $450 million facelift before it hosts its next Super Bowl in 2024. Upgrades to the 44-year-old stadium are part of Gov. John Bel Edwards’ ongoing negotiations with the NFL team, aimed at keeping the Saints in Louisiana another 30 years. State ofﬁcials on the Bond Commission approved the ﬁnancing plans without objection Thursday. The vote sets in motion the improvements to the spaceship-like building that became a symbol of New Orleans’ recovery after Hurricane Katrina. Louisiana’s current contract with the Saints, negotiated by former Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration in 2009, runs through 2025. Edwards says the Superdome renovations are central to striking a new 15-year contract, with a 15-year extension option. Cousins injures knee, undergoing tests EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — A person with knowledge of the situation says Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins is undergoing tests to conﬁrm a preliminary diagnosis of a ligament tear in his knee. Cousins was injured in a workout in Las Vegas this week, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Thursday because no ofﬁcial diagnosis has been released publicly. It could be the latest blow for Cousins — an All-Star for six consecutive seasons when his injury woes began. He tore his Achilles in February 2018 and was sidelined nearly a year, plus he missed out on what likely would have been a massive contract in free agency that summer. He signed with Golden State for $5.3 million, missed roughly half the season while rehabbing, and then missed much of last season’s playoffs after tearing a quad muscle. He signed a one-year deal this summer with the Lakers for $3.5 million. Cousins has averaged 21.2 points and 10.9 rebounds over parts of nine NBA seasons with Sacramento, New Orleans and Golden State. SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A pair of handmade Nike track shoes from the 1972 Olympic trials has sold for $50,000. Dave Russell, of Sacramento, sold the rare kicks last month to a hotel chain in Eugene, Oregon, that is building a Nikethemed property. “They wanted something that would say, ‘This is Nike town,” Russell said. “And here are these shoes that were a prototype before Nike was even a public shoe.” Russell was 25 when he qualiﬁed for the trials in the marathon in Eugene, where the shoe and the Nike brand debuted that year, he told KTXL-TV. Known as “moon shoes” for their wafﬂe-like bottom, the shoes were the ﬁrst prototype designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman. “They were very unorthodox shoes. They were very exotic because the sole was completely different. It was made on a wafﬂe iron. It was glued to the bottom of the shoe. The shoe was completely handmade,” Russell said. “Oh, I loved them, they ﬁt like a glove.” The Oregon-based shoe company made only 12 pairs. Letsrun.com says Russell ﬁnished 55th in the trials, which were won by Frank Shorter who went on to win the gold medal at the Olympics in Munich. Colts lose receiver with ankle injury WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Receiver Daurice Fountain left the Indianapolis Colts ﬁnal training camp practice on a golf cart after suffering a “signiﬁcant” injury to his left ankle. Coach Frank Reich said Fountain was being treated at a hospital. The second-year player was injured on a running play and when he hit the ground, Fountain could be heard screaming “oh my God” over the crowd. Players took a knee and some gathered around the medical staff in prayer. Fountain appeared in only one game and did not make a catch last season after being drafted in the ﬁfth round, but improved during the offseason and had a chance of making the active roster at one of the team’s deepest positions.
