OHIO VALLEY — On July 16,
the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA), in coordination with
the USDA Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS)
issued a press release indicating
that sudden oak death caused
by Phytophthora ramorum was
detected on rhododendron and
lilac plants shipped to Wal-Mart
and Rural King stores throughout
the state.
Reports have since come out
that that potentially infected plants
were shipped to Wal-Mart and
Rural King stores in the following
southeastern Ohio cities: Athens,
Chillicothe, Gallipolis, Jackson,
Logan, Marietta, New Boston,

Saint Clairsville, South Point,
Waverly, West Union, and Zanesville.
Ohio State University Extension,
the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources Division of Forestry,
U.S. Forest Service, and local Soil
and Water Conservation Districts
are working with the ODA and
USDA APHIS to provide support
to customers who purchased rhododendron plants from Wal-Mart
or Rural King stores with the
potential to spread sudden oak
death to native woodlands in the
region. Phytophthora ramorum,
the pathogen that causes sudden
oak death, has resulted in widespread mortality of oaks and other
species in coastal areas of Califor-

nia and Oregon.
Even though there are no known
instances of sudden oak death
establishment in eastern forests,
it is important to reduce the possibility of this potentially deadly
disease from becoming established
in oak-dominated forests in southeastern Ohio. Oak trees contribute
greatly to Ohio’s $26 billion forest
products industry, provide vital
habitat for many wildlife species,
and are important for tourism in
southeastern Ohio.
The ODA and partners are
encouraging homeowners who
purchased rhododendron or lilac
plants from Wal-Mart or Rural

news, but…
Jamin, our youngest, came to
Charleston recently to take the West
Virginia bar exam. His wife, Morgan,
accompanied him. After the two days
of scheduled testing,
the couple came to visit
with us here in Mason.
They were in the
living room when I
arrived from Wednesday prayer meeting
at church. They each

columnist
As I turned to go into
the kitchen, Jamin said,
“Dad, I am warming a bun in the
oven. Would you check for me to see
if it is warming up well?”
I ignored the request. After all,
I do not like cooking, or to have
anything to do with cooking. I was
standing in the kitchen when Jamin
and Morgan followed. Jamin once
again asked me to check the bun he
had warming up in the oven.
I got a little short, “Son, you are
in here now—-you check!” He got a
little short back. He pulled the oven
door down in curt manner. Inside
the chamber was a hamburger bun
sitting on a small paper plate. He did
not even have the stove turned on.
He adjusted the bun and plate on
the rack, and commented, “Well, at
this rate, it is going to take another
eight-and-a-half months to get this
done!” Morgan started laughing.
Feeling like I was missing something, I said, “This must be some
sort of inside joke I am not getting.”
There was a lengthy pause as I
stared into their faces.
Finally, it started hitting me like
a ton of bricks what was going on.
They were trying to tell me something exciting. I began slobbering
like a baby when I started realizing
what it was—-Morgan and Jamin are
going to have a baby! It was a happy
surprise for me more than I can
describe.
The “bun in the oven” reference
should have quickly tipped me off.
But, like a dolt, while they were trying to communicate in simple form
some good news, I could not get it.
As a matter of fact, I deliberately
would not get it because I refused
to look in the oven to see the good
news prop.
This incident creates a stark spiritual comparison as it involves good
news God wants to share with us.
For a long time, He has been telling
us good news, and we just do not get
it. Like spiritual dolts, we act like we
cannot comprehend it, and, to make
matters worse, we live like we deliberately do not want to comprehend
it.
The major portion of God’s good
news He is sharing has to do with
the Cross and Resurrection of His
Son Jesus Christ. The good news is
that the Lord did for us what we cannot do for ourselves. If we trust in
Him for salvation of our souls, we are
saved from eternal condemnation,
and we are assured of eternal life in
Heaven when we die physically. That
is the greatest news there is—-easily
learned, and easily understood.
But, there are some noteworthy
sidebars of good news God is sharing.
For example, we can have peace in
this life we live. There are so many
frustrations in life. Uncertainties
cause emotional anguish. The dangers of our days stimulate fear.
But, the Lord wants us to know
that He can give us peace. “My
peace I give unto you,” He assures.
“Let not your hearts be troubled,”
He said. There is peace in the midst
of the storms of our lives, and He is
trying to communicate to us that it
is available if we would just try to
check it out and understand about
it.
The Lord is trying to share with
us the news that there is hope. The
hope He gives is not based upon
wishful thinking, but it is hope based
upon His sure promises. It is hope
you cannot beat with a stick!
We would be far better off in life
if we would but get the news God is
telling us.
In the mean time, Jeshua and
Megan previously shared with Terry
and me that they are going to have
a fourth child. And, while they were
not as creative in sharing this news
with us, it is just as exciting. Lord
willing, that will make us ten grandbabies. The two new ones are due in
March.

Jesus heals
the crippled
woman
One Sabbath, Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, and a woman
was there who had been crippled
by a spirit for eighteen years. She was
bent over and could
not straighten up at
all. When Jesus saw
her, He called her
forward and said to
her, “Woman, you are
God’s Kids set free from your
Korner sickness.” Then He
Ann

Moody
and immediately, she
could stand up, and
she praised God. Angered, because
Jesus had healed on the Sabbath,
the synagogue ruler said to the people, “There are six days for work,
so come and be healed on those
days, not on the Sabbath.” Jesus
answered the leader of the synagogue, “You hypocrite! Don’t you
untie your donkey on the Sabbath
and lead them to get a drink? Even
so, it was necessary for me to heal
this woman who had been suffering
for over eighteen years.” (Luke 13:
10-16)
You see, the rule was that no one
was to work on the Sabbath, but
even on the Sabbath, the animals
had to be watered, so the people
led the animals to get a drink which
would have been considered work.
It would have been cruel to make
animals suffer without water all
day. Jesus applied this task to the
crippled woman. It would have
been cruel not to heal her no matter
what the day was – to make her suffer any longer.
You see, Jesus was always more
concerned with helping people
than He was about keeping rules.
Rules are good, but people are more
important. Our religion is more
than just following rigid rules; it’s
about loving God and helping others.
Let’s pray. Dear Jesus, help us to
remember that You taught us that
helping people is more important
than just keeping rules for the sake
of rules. Let us always help and
love others just as You did with the
crippled woman. Amen.

honors. They may have success as the world counts
success. But when they die,
they will stand before God
unprepared. Rather than
words of praise, they will
hear that sad, ﬁnal condemnation, “I never knew you,
depart from me, you who
practice lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:23)
Almost persuaded is fully
lost.
If you are interested in
learning more about the
salvation preached by Paul,
and the other apostles of
Jesus, the church of Christ
invites you to study God’s
word with us, and worship with us at 234 Chapel
Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. If
you have any questions,
including subjects you
might like to see addressed,
please share them with

Steelers eyeing unity minus departed stars

Keith Srakocic | AP file

The Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger are aiming to rebound in
2019 after an ugly late-season collapse that forced the Steelers to miss the playoffs for
the first time in five years.

PITTSBURGH (AP) —
The word Ramon Foster
chose wasn’t by accident.
Asked what he expects the
identity of the Pittsburgh
Steelers to be in 2019 following the high-proﬁle departures of star wide receiver
Antonio Brown and versatile
running back Le’Veon Bell ,
the second-longest tenured
member of the roster behind
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger offered a typically
blunt assessment.
“A team,” the left guard
said. “When you see us on
the ﬁeld. The way we play
offense, defense, special
teams, you should know that
we’re a team. It’s not the
teams that have 10 Pro Bowl-

ers on the team that wins
the Super Bowl most of the
time. It’s the team that you
can usually watch them and
see that they’re playing team
ball.”
Something that wasn’t
always the case during the
waning days of the “Killer
Bs” era. The Steelers spent
a signiﬁcant portion of 2018
talking about Brown’s latest
meltdown or Bell’s extended
absence.
Though they insisted those
issues didn’t spill onto the
ﬁeld, sometimes they did.
Brown’s very public offseason
divorce began when he went
AWOL before a must-win
regular-season ﬁnale against
Cincinnati following a dust-

up with Roethlisberger and
was benched by coach Mike
Tomlin. The Steelers found
a way to edge the Bengals
anyway with Brown standing
in a fur coat on the sideline
, a ﬁtting image for the way
the perennial All-Pro isolated
himself from the rest of the
roster. While the victory over
Cincinnati wasn’t enough for
Pittsburgh to avoid missing
the playoffs for the ﬁrst time
since 2013, it also served as
a jumping off point of sorts.
The Steelers believe they can
survive and even thrive with
Brown now in Oakland and
Bell getting paid by the New
York Jets.

Bulldogs win
at Forest Hills
division event
Meigs 3rd, Raiders 6th in 3rd
league match of season
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

GLOUSTER, Ohio — Taking a bite out of the
deﬁcit.
Athens snapped Alexander’s two-match winning
streak and, coincidentally, closed the gap in the
league standings with a 13-stroke victory over the
ﬁeld at the third of seven Tri-Valley Conference
Ohio Division events on Wednesday at Forest Hills
Golf Course in Athens County.
The Bulldogs posted four of the top seven individual rounds en route to a winning four-man tally
of 157 while also improving their seasonal league
mark to 16-2 in the process.
The Spartans — who ﬁred a 170 — ultimately
edged Meigs by a single shot to claim second place
and still own the lead in the standings with a 17-1
record. The Marauders — with a third place effort
of 171 — improved to 11-7 overall and are in sole
possession of third at the moment.
Wellston (10-8) was fourth after posting a ﬁnal
tally of 182, while Vinton County (6-12) was ﬁfth
overall with a 188. River Valley (3-15) and host
Nelsonville-York (0-18) rounded out the ﬁnal two
spots in the standings with respective team scores
of 218 and 241.
Though Athens had a quartet of scores at 40 or
lower, Whit Byrd of Alexander came away with
medalist honors after ﬁring a 1-over par round of
35. Sam Carpenter of Athens and Brandyn Bush of
Wellston shared runner-up honors with matching
rounds of 38.
Cole Arnott paced the Marauders with a 39 and
Dawson Justice followed with a 42, while Austin
Mahr and Gus Kennedy completed the team tally
with identical efforts of 45.
Zack King posted a 50 for MHS, while Gunnar
Peavley and Payton Brown added matching rounds
of 53 for the Maroon and Gold.
Blaine Cline led the Raiders with a 51 and Alex
Euton followed with a 55. Joel Horner and Jordan
Lambert completed the team score with matching
rounds of 56.
Dalton Mershon and Scott Yost also had efforts
of 61 and 67 for the Silver and Black.
Isaiah Allen paced the Vikings with a 45 and
Caitlyn Hall led the Buckeyes with a 55.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett reacts after a play during practice in June at the team’s training facility in Berea, Ohio.
The Browns’ long years of painful losses appear to be ending, with an array of potent offensive weapons surrounding fiery second-year
quarterback Baker Mayfield and an imposing defensive front led by Garrett.

Browns not clowns, maybe contenders
CLEVELAND (AP)
— Those rabid, barking
Browns fans have suffered in sadness longer
than any group in the
NFL, bar none.
They’ve never watched
their team play in the
Super Bowl, haven’t
experienced the playoffs
since 2002 or bundled
up and attended a postseason home game in 25
winters. There’s a faction
of the orange-and-brown
backers who remain
bitter about late owner
Art Modell moving the
franchise to Baltimore.
The expansion era has
been beyond torturous:
two decades of disgrace,
despair and dysfunction.
Like this proud city,
which has taken its share
of lumps over the years,
Cleveland’s beloved
team has been a national
punchline.
Well, the joke might
be on someone else this
time.
An array of potent
offensive weapons surrounding ﬁery secondyear quarterback Baker
Mayﬁeld is joined by an
imposing defensive front
four led by super freak
end Myles Garrett. The
Browns, who went 0-16
just two years ago and
have symbolized professional incompetence
— 29 starting QBs, 11
coaches in 20 years — are
expected by many not
only to contend this season but perhaps compete
for their ﬁrst league title
in 55 years.
It’s about time.
“I’m excited for the
direction we’re moving
in,” said star wide receiv-

er Odell Beckham Jr.,
whose arrival in March
via a stunning trade with
New York Giants has lifted the collective psyche
of this football-frenzied
region. “I can see it. I can
feel it from the fans. I can
feel it from this team.”
Once ignored, the
Browns have become the
league’s trendiest team,
this season’s favorite
ﬂavor.
And it all starts with
Mayﬁeld, the 2018 No.
1 overall pick who began
last season as Tyrod
Taylor’s backup and ﬁnished it breaking Peyton
Manning’s league rookie
record for touchdown
passes.
Equal parts brash and
boyish, Mayﬁeld ofﬁcially
took over in Week 4 and
went 6-7 as a starter
while completing 64
percent of his passes,
exuding the swagger that
has driven him since his
youth.
The 24-year-old has
restored hope into the
most cynical of Browns
fans, who waited patiently for the team to ﬁnd its
long-term answer at the
game’s most critical position.
“I think that I was born
to play here,” he said.
Beckham feels reborn
with the Browns, who
landed the three-time
Pro Bowler famous for
spectacular one-handed
catches and silly off-ﬁeld
drama. Reunited with his
close friend and former
LSU teammate Jarvis
Landry, Beckham, who
has been slowed by injuries the past two seasons,
claims he has put New

York’s skyline in his rearview mirror.
“I’m just happy to be
here,” he said.
In Cleveland. Where
football is ﬁnally back.
Rookie coach
A year ago, Freddie
Kitchens was in the background, teaching Browns
running backs before an
eight-game stint as offensive coordinator changed
his life.
He was hired in January as Cleveland’s new
coach, the club’s sixth in
10 years. Kitchens had a
signiﬁcant role in Mayﬁeld’s ﬁrst-year success,
and he’s already under
pressure to win. But the
affable 44-year-old, barrelchested Alabamian, who
has bounced around the
coaching circle, isn’t concerned about the huge
expectations heaped on
his team.
“I am going to coach
them like I coached them
at Glenville State College,” he said. “I truly
believe it is just hype.
That is all it is.”
Kitchens must hope
owners Dee and Jimmy
Haslam remain patient,
and his team stays
healthy.
Browns bromance
Beckham and Landry
often talked in college
about playing together in
the pros. Well, the dream
became reality and the
duo gives the Browns
maybe the most lethal 1-2
receiving punch in the
league.
“Scary,” Landry said.
Beckham has been
slowed during the exhi-

bition season by an
unspeciﬁed hip injury, but
the Browns are conﬁdent
he’ll be ready for the
opener against Tennessee.
“Odell is Odell,” said
safety Damarious Randall. “He’s a once-in-ageneration type of talent.
He will be ready to go
Sept. 8.”
Garrett’s steady rise
Warning to quarterbacks and offensive
linemen: Myles Garrett
may be hazardous to
your health. The 6-foot-5,
280-pounder is leaner —
and maybe a little meaner
— entering his third
season.
He had 13 ½ sacks in
2018, but that was before
general manager John
Dorsey added former Pro
Bowlers Olivier Vernon
and Sheldon Richardson
up front.
“He’s a beast,” cornerback Denzel Ward
said of the No. 1 overall
draft pick of 2017. “I saw
him like that last year. I
thought he was the biggest and fastest guy, and
for him to say he’s the
biggest and fastest this
year is even crazier.”

Kareem Hunt will

Ravens hoping to run and win Rio men pull
away from
Lakers, 5-0
BALTIMORE (AP) — In an
NFL landscape ﬁlled with strongarmed quarterbacks and high-scoring games, the Baltimore Ravens
are kicking it old school.
Combining a slick-footed quarterback with an aggressive defense
and the most accurate placekicker
in NFL history, the Ravens intend
to win by running the ball and controlling the clock.
Second-year quarterback Lamar
Jackson will probably be spending much of his time handing the
football to free agent pickup Mark
Ingram or Gus Edwards, who had
a team-high 718 yards rushing last
year (just ahead of Jackson’s 695).
The new playbook, written mostly
by ﬁrst-year offensive coordinator
Greg Roman, will take advantage
of Jackson’s ability to slip and slide
from the pocket.
Jackson took over last November
and led the Ravens to a 6-1 ﬁnish,
the AFC North title and their ﬁrst
playoff appearance in four years.
Not long after Baltimore was eliminated in the ﬁrst round by the Los
Angeles Chargers, ﬁrst-year general
manager Eric DeCosta dealt longtime starting quarterback and 2012
Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco to
Denver in accord with coach John
Harbaugh’s commitment to a runﬁrst attack.
With Jackson a threat to run,
pass or pitch, Harbaugh has an
attack he labels “revolutionary” in
the current NFL climate.
“Even when he scrambles, he’s
scrambling to throw, and when it’s
his last resort, he’ll run and show

Steelers

off his talents that way,” Ingram
said. “But, obviously, if you just
look at the last games that he
played last year, they had crazy
success running the ball.”
If the offense stalls, Justin Tucker can be counted on to deliver a
long-distance ﬁeld goal. Tucker has
an NFL-record 90.1% accuracy rate
on 3-pointers and is the ﬁrst kicker
to produce six seasons with at least
30 ﬁeld goals.
The defense, ranked No. 1 last
season, lost linebackers Terrell
Suggs, C.J. Mosley and Za’Darius
Smith to free agency. Patrick
Onwuasor, now in his fourth season, is poised to replace Mosley in
the middle and defensive coordinator Don Martindale is sure to ﬁnd
a way to keep opposing quarterbacks on the run.
Some things to know about the
2019 Ravens, who open Sept. 8 in
Miami:

“Let’s start talking about how
good they are come September,
October, November,” he said.
“But we do have a lot of depth,
and we have a lot of skill. Yes, we
do.”

Rookie power
DeCosta appears to have done
well in his ﬁrst draft since replacing general manager Ozzie Newsome, who held the title since the
franchise moved from Cleveland in
1996.
Wide receiver Marquise Brown,
drafted in the ﬁrst round out of
Oklahoma, has speed and good
hands, traits the Ravens can’t wait
to see after he’s fully recovered
from a foot injury.
In the meantime, rookie receiver
Miles Boykin has been impressive
in practice and in preseason games
and has a very good chance to
make the team.

Walker, Turner lead US over Australia 102-86
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — With his
team playing on a raised
basketball court in a stadium normally used for
soccer and cricket, U.S.
coach Gregg Popovich
said he felt like he was on
a movie set.
“I kept looking behind
me because I knew I
was going to fall off the
stage,” he said.
But once the game
started, Popovich thought
it all seemed normal. And
if it had been a movie,
Popovich surely would
have liked the ending.
Kemba Walker scored

23 points, Myles Turner
added 15 points and 14
rebounds, and the U.S.
topped Australia 102-86
on Thursday before a
crowd of 51,218 — billed
as the largest crowd ever
to watch a basketball
game in Australia.
“We have guys that are
just starting to play with
each other,” said U.S.
guard Donovan Mitchell,
who had 13 points. “We
got off to a little bit of a
rough start in the ﬁrst
half, but the third quarter,
we really picked it up
defensively.”

Bengals face daunting
odds, history under Taylor
CINCINNATI (AP)
— Bengals owner Mike
Brown is fully aware of
how new head coaches
often fare in the NFL.
That ﬁrst season can be a
real ﬁasco.
“I think Bill Walsh won
one game his ﬁrst year,”
Brown said. “Chuck Noll
might have won one
game. There sometimes
is a period of getting it
all put together the right
way. I hope that it comes
on immediately … It can.
It could go both ways.
“I know what I hope
happens. I know what our
fans hope.”
Brown is hoping that
36-year-old Zac Taylor
can do what Dave Shula,
Bruce Coslet, Dick LeBeau and Marvin Lewis
failed to achieve: get the
Bengals to the playoffs
and actually win a game.
After 16 seasons of futility, Brown ﬁred Lewis
and decided to go in a
much younger direction
to ﬁnally end that streak.
It’s now 28 years since
their last playoff win,
tied with Washington for
the ﬁfth-longest streak of
postseason futility in NFL
history.
Taylor was the Rams’
quarterbacks coach when
they went to the Super
Bowl last season. He’s got
a huge adjustment ahead
in his ﬁrst season as a
head coach at the college
or pro level. He’ll be calling plays in addition to
learning how to manage
games, surrounded by
coordinators who have
little NFL experience at
their positions.
And Taylor’s gotten a
reality check already.
Rookie left tackle
Jonah Williams suffered
a season-ending shoulder

injury in the offseason.
Left guard Clint Boling
retired because of a blood
clot shortly before the
start of camp. Receiver
A.J. Green hurt his left
ankle during the ﬁrst
training camp practice in
Dayton and will miss the
start of the season. The
training camp schedule
had to be readjusted
repeatedly because of bad
weather: Cincinnati is the
only northern NFL team
without a covered practice facility.
Put it all together, and
the outlook for Taylor’s
ﬁrst season is gloomy.
The odds-makers have
already written them off.
“They always do,” running back Joe Mixon said.
“When I was in college
and high school, they
always did that with the
Bengals.”
For the record: Walsh
led the San Francisco
49ers to a 2-14 ﬁnish in
his inaugural season of
1979, and then went on
to win three Super Bowl
titles, beating the Bengals
in the 1988 season for his
ﬁnal one as coach. Noll
went 1-13 in Pittsburgh in
1969 and went on to win
four Super Bowls.
Some things to watch
in Taylor’s ﬁrst season:

Andy Dalton
The 31-year-old quarterback has two years
left on a team-friendly
deal that will pay him
a $16 million base salary in 2019. How well
he does will determine
whether the team offers
an extension or decides
to part ways. Ryan Finley
was drafted in the fourth
round and is the backup
for now. This becomes a
pivotal year for Dalton.
Oh, that defense
The defense was among
the worst in franchise history last season and will
have the most to do with
how Taylor’s ﬁrst season
unfolds. The team parted
ways with linebacker Vontaze Burﬁct, but the position remains one of the
most glaring spots. End
Carlos Dunlap and tackle
Geno Atkins anchor a
deep line, and the starting cornerbacks and safeties return. Cincinnati is
on essentially its fourth
defensive coordinator in
three years, a lack of continuity that’s shown in the
results.

Who’s watching?
Cincinnati averaged
50,753 fans at Paul
Brown Stadium last season, the third straight
year with a notable
