Reedsville, Rutland and Tuppers Plains will each hold Trick or Treat from 6-7 p.m. on Oct. 24. Pomeroy’s annual Treat Street will take place from 6:30-8 p.m. on Oct. 24. The event will include costume judging at 7:30 p.m. in O’Brien Park just off Court Street. In addition, new for 2019 will the JackO-Lantern Jubilee Halloween Parade in Pomeroy. Lineup for the parade will be at 7 p.m. on Oct. 24 in the employee parking lot of the Farmers Bank Corporate Building (corner of Main Street and Butternut Avenue). The parade, beginning at 7:30 p.m., will then travel up Main Street, ending at the parking lot at the baseball fields. The parade is open to all members of the community to participate including businesses, clubs, sports teams, and civic groups. The theme is kid-friendly in nature so participants are advised against extreme costumes which would be too frightening for kids. On Oct. 31, Trick or Treat will take place from 6-7 p.m. in Chester, Middleport and Racine, with Trick or Treat in Syracuse from 6-7:30 p.m. In Racine, a party following Trick or Treat will be held at the fire station with a costume contest to take place.

Racine Southern FFA Chapter competes By Rachel Jackson Special to the Sentinel RACINE — The Agricultural and Urban Soils Career Development Event (CDE) is an educational activity designed as a practical method of teaching students to evaluate land and soil and to make decisions when faced with soil related issues that affect agricultural production. The Land Judging CDE is designed to develop skills in determining soil characteristics and determining land capability classes based upon the characteristics. On Sept. 18, five members of the Racine Southern FFA chapter traveled to Athens County, Ohio (Abfall Farms in Albany, Ohio) for the annual Athens-Meigs Soil Contest. This contest is open to all FFA Chapters in Meigs and Athens County. This contest is broken up into two parts — agricultural judging and urban judging. In agricultural judging, the Racine Southern FFA soil judging team consisting of Austin Rose, Ethan Mullen, Theron Black, and Tiffany Cremeans. Coming in first place overall in Agriculture Soils was Austin Rose and Ethan Mullen placing second in individual scoring. In Urban Soils, Mallory Stover placed first in individual scoring. On Oct. 1, Austin Rose, Ethan Mullen, Theron Black, Tiffany Creameans, and Mallory Stover were recognized at the Annual Meigs County Soil and Water Conservation Banquet for their achievements in top scoring in the county for soil judging. The individuals were presented with an Agriculture Soils Team plaque and money to the top scorers. On Sept. 26, the Annual D-10 Soils Career Development Event took place at South Gallia. The district contest is where all FFA chapters in District 10 can come and compete in our soils contest to qualify for the State Contest. A total of 14 different schools were present. Eight members of the Racine Southern FFA attended. The ag soil judging team consists of: Ethan Mullen, Austin Rose, Theron Black, and Tiffany Cremeans. Their team placed ninth overall.

Daily Sentinel Dems weigh impeachment vote By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Laurie Kellman Associated Press WASHINGTON — House Democrats are gauging support for a vote to formally authorize the impeachment inquiry as another official testified Tuesday in the deepening probe of President Donald Trump’s efforts to have Ukraine investigate Joe Biden. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to meet privately with Democratic lawmakers later Tuesday to survey attitudes about a possible vote, according to people granted anonymity to discuss the planning. She told reporters she’d have more to say “later,” after the evening meeting with House colleagues. Trump, who calls the impeachment inquiry an “illegitimate process,” has pressured Pelosi to take a formal vote. Republicans want to test politically vulnerable Democrats with a roll call that could be difficult in areas where Trump remains popular. But Pelosi has so far resisted, saying Congress is well within its power to conduct oversight of the executive branch as part of the Constitution’s system of checks and balances, and no vote is needed. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell opened the chamber on Tuesday suggesting Democrats were trying to “cancel out” Trump’s election with the march toward impeachment. The inquiry is moving quickly as a steady stream of officials, largely from the State Department, are appearing behind closed doors this week, some providing vivid details about the events surrounding the July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in which Trump urged Zelenskiy to investigate a firm tied to political rival Joe Biden’s family and Ukraine’s own involvement in the 2016 presidential election. In 10 hours of testi- Manuel Balce Ceneta | AP Former White House adviser on Russia Fiona Hill leaves Capitol Hill in Washington on Monday after testifying before congressional lawmakers as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Hill told lawmakers that national security adviser John Bolton was so alarmed by Rudy Giuliani’s back-channel activities in Ukraine that he described Trump’s personal lawyer as a “hand grenade who is going to blow everybody up.” mony Monday, a former White House aide, Fiona Hill, recounted that national security adviser John Bolton was so alarmed by Rudy Giuliani’s back-channel activities in Ukraine that he described Trump’s personal lawyer as a “hand grenade who is going to blow everybody up.” The former White House aide detailed Bolton’s concerns to lawmakers and told them that she had at least two meetings with National Security Council lawyer John Eisenberg about the matter at Bolton’s request, according to a person familiar with the testimony who requested anonymity to discuss the confidential interview. Hill, a top adviser on Russia, also discussed U.S. ambassador Gordon Sondland and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, the person said, telling the three committees leading the investigation that Bolton also told her he was not part of “whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up,” an apparent reference to talks over Ukraine. Giuliani was heavily involved in the effort to pressure Ukraine on the investigations. He said Tuesday he was “very disappointed” in Bolton’s comment. Bolton, Giuliani said, “has been called much worse.” Giuliani also acknowledged he had received payments totaling $500,000 related to the work for a company operated by Lev Parnas who, along with associate Igor Fruman, played a key role in Giuliani’s efforts to launch a Ukrainian corruption investigation against Biden and his son, Hunter. The two men were arrested last week on campaign finance charges as they tried to board an international flight. Giuliani’s attorney, Jon Sale, has notified lawmakers that Giuliani will not comply with a subpoena issued to appear before House investigators in the impeachment inquiry. Democrats set a Wednesday deadline for Giuliani to provide documents and it is unclear how they will respond to his refusal to comply. On Tuesday, House investigators heard from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, who was concerned about the “fake news smear” against the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump recalled in May, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press. The interviews, like the others conducted by House impeachment investigators, took place behind closed doors. Republican lawmakers have aimed their ire at the process, saying witnesses should be interviewed out in the open. Hill also told the investigators that she had strongly and repeatedly objected to Yovanovitch’s ouster, according to the person familiar with the testimony. Yovanovitch testified to the impeachment investigators Friday that Trump pressured the State Department to fire her. Hill quoted Bolton, whom Trump forced out last month, as saying in one conversation that Giuliani was “a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up.” A whistleblower complaint about that call, later made public, prompted Pelosi to launch the impeachment inquiry. Five more officials are scheduled this week, mostly from the State Department, though it is unclear if they will all appear after Trump declared he wouldn’t cooperate with the probe. Sondland is expected to appear for a deposition under subpoena Thursday and will certainly be asked about those talks. Sondland, who is the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, is expected to tell Congress that a text message released earlier this month reassuring another envoy that there was no quid pro quo in their interactions with Ukraine was based solely on what Trump told him, according to a person familiar with his coming testimony.

Trump’s July 25 phone call pressuring Ukraine’s leader to investigate the Bidens is the focus of a whistleblower complaint that triggered the formal House impeachment inquiry into Trump. Trump has denied wrongdoing. Hours after Hunter Biden’s interview aired, Trump said in a tweet that the former vice president’s son was “really bad” in the ABC interview and that “Sleepy Joe has real problems.” Hunter Biden recently said he would step down from the board of directors of a Chinesebacked private equity firm because his service had become a “distraction.” “That’s why I have committed that I won’t serve on any board or work on any foreign entities when Dad becomes president,” he said. “That’s the rule I’m going to adhere to.” Joe Biden said on Sunday that if he’s elected: “No one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in meetings as if they’re a Cabinet member, will in fact have any business relationships with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or foreign country.” On Tuesday, Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in a statement “Hunter was forceful and spoke with conviction,” and after “an unprecedented smear campaign by the president of the United States, who is engulfed in a scandal of his own making.” Ugur Can | DHA via AP Turkey’s forces advance toward Manbij, Syria, on Monday. A U.S. military spokesman says U.S. forces have left the Kurdish-held town of Manbij, part of their withdrawal from northeastern Syria. Russia seeks to cement its role as power broker By Lefteris Pitarakis and Bassem Mroue Associated Press CEYLANPINAR, Turkey — Russia moved to fill the void left by the United States in northern Syria on Tuesday, deploying troops to keep apart advancing Syrian government forces and Turkish troops. At the same time, tensions grew within NATO as Turkey defied growing condemnation of its invasion from its Western allies. Now in its seventh day, Turkey’s offensive against Kurdish fighters has caused tens of thousands to flee their homes, has upended alliances and is re-drawing the map of northern Syria for yet another time in the 8-year-old war. Russia moved quickly to further entrench its role as a power broker after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the pullout of American forces in northeastern Syria. The American move effectively abandoned the Kurdish fighters who were allied with the U.S. and cleared the way for Turkey’s invasion aimed at crushing them. Desperate for a new protector, the Kurdish administration struck a deal with the Russiabacked government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose forces on Sunday began moving into Kurdish-administered areas to shield them against Turkey. Syrian troops waved flags after they rolled into Manbij, a flashpoint town west of the Euphrates River that Turkey had been aiming to capture and wrest from Kurdish control. Video by Russian journalists with the troops showed what appeared to be an abandoned outpost where U.S. forces had been stationed. A U.S. military spokesman, Col. Myles B. Caggins, confirmed U.S. troops had completed their pullout from Manbij. During the withdrawal, contacts were kept open with the Turks and Russians to ensure the several hundred American forces there got out safely, U.S. officials said. U.S. troops have had outposts in Manbij since 2017, when they went in to avert a battle over the town between Turkish and Kurdish fighters. Now Russia was playing that role. Outside Manbij, Russian troops patrolled front lines between Turkish and Syrian army positions to keep them apart, Russia’s Defense Ministry said. “No one is interested” in fighting between Syrian government troops and Turkish forces, said Alexander Lavrentyev, Moscow’s envoy for Syria. Russia “is not going to allow it,” he told Russian state news agencies. Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters Washington is “deeply concerned” that Russian troops are patrolling between the two sides. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu spoke to U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper to discuss “issues of mutual interest in the context of situation in Syria,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a brief statement, without elaborating. Russia has been a staunch ally of Assad for decades and entered the Syrian conflict in 2015, providing air power that eventually turned the tide of the war in his favor. The Russian military has shipped weapons to Damascus, trained thousands of troops and put its advisers in key Syrian military units. In the first week of the Turkish assault, at least 154 fighters from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces have been killed, as well as 128 fighters from Turkishbacked Syrian factions , according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitor of the war. It said at least 69 civilians have been killed in Syria. Turkey says six of its soldiers have died, as well as at least 20 Turkish civilians killed by Kurdish mortar fire across the border. Despite the Syrian and Russian deployments, Turkey insisted it would capture Manbij. Asked on Sky News if Turkey’s military was willing to fight Assad’s army, Vice President Fuat Oktay said, “We hope it’s not going to happen, but again we are determined to get control over Man- bij.” Mortar fire from Manbij killed two Turkish soldiers and wounded seven others, the Turkish Defense Ministry said. An Associated Press team later saw up to 200 Turkish troops along with armored vehicles crossing near Manbij and Kobani, a border town that is not yet secured by Syrian forces. Farther east on the border, Turkish and Kurdish forces were in heavy battles over the town of Ras al-Ayn, captured by Turkish troops days earlier. A U.S. official said the approximately 1,000 U.S. troops being withdrawn from northern Syria will reposition in Iraq, Kuwait and possibly Jordan. The U.S. forces in Iraq could conduct cross-border operations against the Islamic State group in Syria as they did before creating the now-abandoned partnership with Syrian Kurdish-led forces, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive planning for a U.S. pullout. After opening the way for the Turkish assault with its pullout, Washington is now trying to restrain its fellow NATO member. Trump on Monday announced sanctions aimed at Turkey’s economy. The U.S. called on Turkey to stop the offensive and declare a ceasefire, while European Union countries moved to broaden an arms sale embargo against their easternmost ally.

I know the stories of survivors of this disease as well as the stories of several women who did not live. And I ask myself: Why did they wait to be assessed? Why didn’t they get a second opinion? Why didn’t they take steps, however invasive, to attempt to rid their bodies of the disease? I’m smart enough to know that some don’t have health insurance; some can’t afford the co-payment Vivian even if they are insured. Some have Blevins no transportation to a facility or Contributing have young kids and no one to watch columnist them. I have my own story of those suspicious lumps that appeared when I was 25 and the terror I felt the evening before I was to have surgery. Although I came out of the surgery with a report of nine lumps, I had no malignancies, just scars. I had been breast feeding my son for a month when I felt the first lump. I most feared dying and not being there for him. After surgery, I got on with my life with annual mammograms. One of my long-time friends, a retired teacher and a minister, was pulled aside recently at the Las Vegas airport while on her way to Holland and adventures in an African country. She posted on Facebook: “Horrible experience in security Vegas. Got full pat down. In the end, it was scar tissue from breast cancer. I knew it was bad! Humiliated.” When a woman feels that lump for the first time (At times, her partner first notices it), there is a queasy feeling. Is it really there? Will it go away? Do I need to see my doctor? What about a specialist? How soon do I need to get there? What if my doctor won’t give me an appointment right away? What if my doctor tells me I’m too young for breast cancer and says, “Let’s just wait and see what happens?” The next stage involves testing with more questions: What if a mammogram shows a problem? What’s the difference in a regular mammogram and a 3 D mammogram? Will my insurance pay for the 3-D? Do mammograms hurt? Are they reliable? When the mammogram reveals a problem, more questions arise: If I opt for surgery, should I have my breasts removed? Will I lose my hair during treatment and will I be able to work ? Is my will up to date? Should I have reconstruction? What if I die? In a breast-conscious society, more questions arise: How will my partner feel about me following surgery? How will I feel about my femininity? If I opt for implants, what if they rupture? One in every eight women will develop invasive breast cancer — 12 percent. That means 88 percent won’t. The first order of business is self-education by turning to the internet: Cleveland Clinic, American Cancer Society, or another reliable source. This is no time to get your information from Aunt Ruby who had surgery for the disease 20 years ago. The public library can help you with locating resources. In the October 2019 issue of Vogue, Jancee Dunn describes her experience with iBreastExam, a device that is now available in the U.S. but has been used in the past three years in countries where women face financial or travel issues as well as availability of radiologists. The device is now available in select cities in the U.S. As I researched, I located several devices that claim to monitor breast health. I am not recommending any of them as it’s my strong sense that women should consult with a trusted physician. My friend who got the full pat down at the Vegas airport, Cinda Anderton, has a message for you: “That which doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, and just when I thought I couldn’t get any stronger (She was diagnosed at age 47 with breast cancer and had both breasts removed), I had my strength tested at the Las Vegas airport. “While going through security, I did the usual: hands overhead, feet apart. The male TSA agent directed me to stay. He got a female worker and quietly gave her directions while he continued to look at my image on the screen. “She said, ‘I’m now going to pat you down.’ She went straight for my sternum and with the side of her hand scraped down it. “I said, ‘THAT HURTS.’ Between the pain and the public humiliation, I was trying to fight back my tears.” As Anderton explained that she had had a double mastectomy, the male TSA said for all to hear, “This is scar tissue. We’ve seen this before.” Anderton asks, and I concur, “How is this public announcement appropriate?” She asks that we be aware of the 12 percent of women in the U.S. who will have breast cancer during their lifetime and cautions us to be aware, and thoughtful. Yes, we can monitor our words and actions on this issue. And from Holland, she went on her planned safari. She perseveres. THEIR VIEW She was more than just a dog The air has turned crisp as the sun rises and sets each day, and my yard is filled with leaves from a gigantic maple tree that stands behind my house, giving me a chore that I have not had for about 20 years — raking. As I was working in my yard on Sunday afternoon, I remembered a day when my kids were younger and when I would rake the leaves, they would come jump into the pile. Then it would become a game. I would create a monster pile and then take turns with each throwing them in. They would then come out the other side then run around and get back in line waiting to go again. One day while playing this game I noticed that one of the participants standing in line had long black hair, four legs and dog breath. We had a longhaired dog, part German Shepherd and part retriever who wanted to play also. So, I picked her up and threw her into the pile, too. She loved it, and we played all afternoon long. Ebony was her name, and she couldn’t have been more human than if she were, well, human. I recall kidding with The baby my nephew one day couldn’t have that Ebony could been more than talk.

You could tell by the loving little yelps emanating from her as she trotted across the lawn with them riding in tow. I would like to say that every day for the mismatched animals was a bed of roses, but I will never forget the day one ventured onto the highway that ran in front of our house and lost a battle with an oncoming vehicle. Ebony, as well as all of us, was devastated. She laid by the road and howled in sorrow for what seemed to be days. Only one was lost, and over time the kittens, growing into adult cats, found adoptive homes as we sold our business and packed to leave. We brought Ebony back to Ohio with us where she lived out her days on a nice farm surrounded by a loving family and lots of dairy cattle. Every year at this time I can’t look at a pile of leaves without thinking of Ebony, my adopted child, as she played to her heart’s content with the rest of our kids.

AP Auto Writer A union demand that all vehicles sold in the U.S. be built here apparently has been resolved, but terms are unknown. The company did offer $9 billion worth of investments at U.S. factories, $7.7 billion from the company and another $1.3 billion from joint ventures. The $1.3 billion includes a battery cell factory near Lordstown, Ohio, where GM wants to close an assembly plant. They also apparently have agreed on wages and lump-sum payments, although the amounts are unknown. A company offer last week would give workers lump sums equal to 4% of their base pay in the first and third years of the four-year contract, with 3% pay raises in the second and fourth years. This would be in addition to annual profit-sharing checks. This year workers got checks for $10,750 each. GM also offered to lift the $12,000 cap on profit-sharing checks. The union also sought sweeter retirement benefits. After initially trying to cut health care costs, GM agreed to leave benefits and payments untouched. Union members pay 3% premiums while most workers at large companies in the U.S. pay over 30%, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Both sides also have agreed on a path for temporary workers to get permanent jobs. GM had proposed that they become permanent after three uninterrupted years of work, but that was shortened. GM initially offered an $8,000 bonus to workers to sign the contract, but sweetened that to $9,000. Last week the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank, estimated that GM is losing $450 million every week due to production shutdowns. The total loss likely has reached $2 billion. The strike immediately silenced about 30 GM factories in the U.S. and has brought down two plants in Mexico and one in Canada. Parts companies that supply GM have had to lay off thousands of workers. If there’s an agreement, the strike would not end immediately. Bargainers would have to vote on a deal, followed by union officers and regional directors. Then factorylevel leaders, including local presidents and bargaining chairmen, also will vote. If they approve it, then this group would also decide if workers would put down picket signs and go back to work. Workers could stay on strike until after all members vote on the contract. That voting could take a week or longer. But Wheaton said the union might decide to return to work during the ratification vote because temperatures are starting to get colder, and it might not make sense for them to stay on the picket lines.

She hopes #MeTooVoter will prompt debate moderators to ask a question about sexual violence at the next debate, but does not expect the topic to come up on Tuesday. Whether #MeToo makes the debate stage or not, Burke said she is considering a town hall around the issue to hear more fully from candidates about their stances. It was on the one-year anniversary of when #MeToo became a viral hashtag that Burke was still reeling from the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh , whose nomination hearing focused largely on allegations of sexual assault when he was a teenager. The hearing, watched by millions and seen as a major turning point in the MeToo movement, was seen by some women as a setback to efforts to hold men accountable for sexual violence. For Burke, the moment was a turning point. “It was the first time we saw survivors en masse come out and put their bodies on the line for this issue,” said Burke. “It was the moment I realized we had to form as an organization. People are willing to stand up, march, talk, come out in the rain.

Lady Eagles win 9th straight title OVP area lands 9 on All-TVC teams By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com ATHENS, Ohio — Within striking distance of a decade. The Eastern girls cross country team secured its ninth consecutive Hocking Division title on Saturday at the 2019 Tri-Valley Conference championships held at The Venue of Athens in Athens County. The Lady Eagles had all five of their competitors finish in the top 11 spots of a 30-person race, allowing the Green and White to cruise to a 27-point win in the 3-team field. Eastern finished the day with 23 points, with Belpre beating Federal Hocking on a tiebreaker for the second spot. Both teams completed the day with 50 points apiece, but the sixth runner for BHS finished four spots ahead of the FHHS sixth runner. EHS freshman Erica Durst posted the only under-20-minute time in the race with a winning mark of 19:21.95. The Lady Eagles also came away with three of the seven all-league accolades presented at the event.

Cincinnati plays the Jets and the Dolphins in December games that will decide the pecking order for next year’s draft.

Village Administrator Joe Woodall 10/13/19, 10/16/19 �SPORTS/WEATHER 10 Wednesday, October 16, 2019 Daily Sentinel Blaney beats Newman in photo finish TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Ryan Blaney emerged safely from the wreckage at Talladega Superspeedway that claimed other playoff contenders, winning by a tiny margin that was huge for his championship hopes. Blaney beat Ryan Newman in a door-to-door race to the finish line to win Monday and advance to the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs. Blaney’s first win of the season came as he was in danger of getting eliminated from title contention. The playoff field will be trimmed from 12 drivers to eight next weekend at Kansas. Blaney had little margin for error after he had mechanical issues at Dover last weekend and finished 35th. Blaney joins Kyle Larson in the round of eight, with six spots still available. After the win, he spotted a young fan in the crowd wearing his shirt and handed the boy the checkered flag. The race began Sunday but was postponed by rain after the first stage. The delay gave Blaney time to recover from a Sunday spin as he tried to enter pit road, and ended with Ford and Team Penske as winners. Ford had won seven consecutive Talladega races until Chevrolet snapped that streak in April. Blaney was the leader on a restart with two laps remaining and had a huge push from fellow Ford driver Aric Almirola to gain space on the field. Then Newman came charging along on the outside line with help from Denny Hamlin and he easily zipped past Blaney. But the Ford train remained committed and Blaney got another push from Almirola to pull alongside Newman. The two raced door-to-door to the finish line, with Blaney winning by a nose. The 0.0070-second margin of victory was the sixth-closest in the history of Talladega, which celebrated its 50th anniversary all weekend. The win capped a remarkable weekend for the Penske organization, which on Saturday claimed the IMSA overall sports car championship with Dane Cameron and Juan Pablo Montoya, and then in Australia won the Bathurst 1000 with Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard. It was Ford’s sixth straight Talladega playoff victory and Team Penske’s seventh win in the last seven Cup races at the Alabama superspeedway. The race had critical playoff implications as many of the title contenders struggled, and Hen- Baffling Browns reach bye at ‘crossroads’ after home loss drick Motorsports’ entire lineup is at risk of elimination next weekend. Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott and William Byron are all below the cutline, as is Kansas native Clint Bowyer, who could be eliminated at his home track. It was a 1-2 sweep for Ford on a weekend in which manufacturer alliances were heavily scrutinized. Although all the manufacturers met with their teams to discuss strategy and sticking together for the sake of a brand victory, a meeting Sunday between the Chevrolet group angered fans who argued the alliances were a form of race manipulation. Although the manufacturers have been doing this for at least five years in a Toyota-led effort, Chevrolet did not get on board until April after Toyota had worked with Chevy drivers from Hendrick Motorsports to go 1-2-3 in the Daytona 500. Chevrolet then won at Talladega and again at Daytona in July, the two tracks where the brand alliances work. The highest-finishing Chevrolet on Monday at Talladega was Austin Dillon in sixth. Almirola finished fourth in a Ford, followed by Michael McDowell, Dillon, Corey LaJoie, Elliot, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Ty Dillon.

Southern - Senior Trey McNickle, Led the Tornadoes with 22 carries and 152 yards and 4 touchdowns OH-70153623 Meigs #78 Ethan Watson led the Marauder defense with 3 sacks BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Jarvis Landry jumped up and down on the sideline, flapping his arms while madly urging Browns coach Freddie Kitchens to throw his red challenge flag. Kitchens finally did. For naught. Nothing is going Cleveland’s way. Picked prematurely to be a Super Bowl contender, the Browns reached their bye week with a losing record and as perhaps the NFL’s most perplexing team. In the span of four quarters — or even four minutes — they can look brilliant, buffoonish and bewildering. It’s baffling. They commit too many penalties, make too many turnovers and do too much griping about the officiating. Despite their obvious star power and onpaper potential, the Browns (2-4), who wasted a 14-point lead and lost 32-28 on Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks, are simply not playing well enough to win. During a team meeting Monday, Kitchens made it clear to his players that things must change. Immediately. “At some point, we have to become a team,” he said, repeating the message he delivered to the Browns. “The difference between a group and a team is significant. To be a team, you have to do your job and then you bring it together collectively. The better team beat our group yesterday. … “All of this talent we have — that has gotten us 2-4. Now, let’s try something different. Let’s try to be a team and see if we can be better moving forward.” TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 56° 53° 48° Windy today with a blend of sun and clouds.
