This season opens the Monday before Thanksgiving every year. The later opening this year can result in days with snow on the ground, which gives hunters an advantage of spotting and tracking deer. “Hunters should enjoy a great deer season in 2019,” said Gary Foster, assistant chief in charge of Game Management for the Division of Natural Resources. “West Virginia’s deer seasons provide quality outdoor recreation for hunters and, at the same time, boosts the state’s economy by hundreds of millions of dollars.” Hunters may harvest two deer on the same day, but only one of those can be an antlered buck. The first deer does not have to be legally checked before harvesting the second deer in the same day. However, all deer must be checked, and the checking confirmation number recorded by the hunter before hunting during any subsequent day. Hunters are required to use their permanent DNR identification number to check in their See BUCK | 5A chosen because it is one of only a few traces in the county of its original people, or of their civilization.

We know that it’s true history.

The Democrats haven’t got anything to impeach him on, he claimed, and if the House proceeds their work will come crashing down in the Senate. He wants that trial, he said. It all stems from Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s newly elected president. In it, Trump asked Volodymyr Zelenskiy for “a favor,” which involved investigating Democrat Joe Biden and a theory — debunked by U.S. intelligence — that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in America’s 2016 election. In return, Democrats say, it was made clear to Zelenskiy by others that he would get a coveted Oval Office visit. And at the same time, Trump was holding up $400 million in military aid the East European ally relies on to counter Russian aggression at its border.

House floor vote The Judiciary panel could take several days to debate the articles and then vote on them — sending impeachment to the House floor, where they could immediately be called up for consideration. Debate on impeachment would be handled similarly to any other bill or resolution. If articles of impeachment reach the House floor, Democrats will be looking to peel off Republicans to make the vote bipartisan. So far, however, it appears few, if any, Republicans will break ranks. Not a single Republican backed the resolution launching the impeachment hearings. Once an impeachment vote is done, Democrats would appoint impeachment managers for a Senate trial. Senate trial House Democrats are hoping to be finished with an impeachment vote by Christmas, sending articles to the Republican-controlled Senate for a trial in 2020. Unless political dynamics change, Trump is expected to have the backing of majority Republicans in that chamber to be acquitted. It’s still unclear how long a trial would last, what it would look like or what witnesses might be called. Top White House officials met Thursday with Republican senators to discuss strategy but made no decisions about the length of a trial other tactics, two people familiar with the session said. Participants in the meeting expressed more interest in voting as soon as they have the 51 votes needed to acquit Trump than in setting a specific timetable for the proceedings, according to one Senate GOP aide. That aide and a senior White House official said a trial lasting two weeks was discussed, but not agreed to. The aides spoke on condition of anonymity to describe a private meeting. �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, November 24, 2019 3A Meigs Health Matters Premature Infant Awareness Month premature babies Did you know often lack the that there are body fat to mainmore than 15 miltain their body lion babies born temperature, they prematurely every may be placed in single year?

Interventions such as education on a healthy diet, tobacco, drug and alcohol use; measuring the fetus using ultrasound technology to determine gestational age, detection of birth defects and detecting multiple pregnancies. It is strongly encouraged to have a minimum of eight contacts with health professionals throughout the pregnancy to identify and manage other risk factors such as infections, diabetes and high blood pressure. Studies indicate that the hormone progesterone, when given in midpregnancy, can decrease the rate of preterm delivery by 30 percent in women who have had a previous preterm birth. More than three quarters of premature babies can be saved with feasible, cost-effective care such as essential care during childbirth and in the postnatal period for every mother and baby, use of corticosteroid injections (given to pregnant women at risk of preterm labor to strengthen the baby’s lungs), skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby, and antibiotics to treat newborn infections. Even though the chances are still high that most women will go on to have a healthy, full-term pregnancy, it is important to understand prematurity and the risks that are involved. Reduce your risk by taking the necessary steps to protect yourself and your baby during pregnancy. Shauna Chapman is a clerical specialist at the Meigs County Health Department.

A bite made worse when two ideas came together as one like the old chocolate and peanut butter collision commercials of the 1980s. In this case, my eldest child needed a little spending money, and the newspaper needed carriers. Now, being the type of person to go big or go home, I immediately set my eyes on a route of some 600 customers. Only slightly larger than my childhood route of about 100, I assured the eldest while my right eye began to twitch. We made it to distribution the night before delivery to collect our 25 stacks of 25 papers for 625 in total. It was about this time that reality began to sink in along with the car. I chuckled the whole way Bethany home, hoping the shocks were still J. Royer- good. The eldest said nothing, her face stoic, but I knew thoughts DeLong Contributing were brewing, possibly on how columnist quickly she could emancipate from the family. Once home, we began the task of carrying in one stack after another for the bundling process. The cats loved it. The dog was understandably confused. Before long, the dining room was a collection of blue-bagged newspaper hills. Fond memories enveloped me while the youngest child, corralled into the process, gave me the look. You know the look only a teenager can perfect during their silent debate on how quickly they can bury the body. Unfortunately, I hadn’t thought the process through on many levels, including how to get 600 newspapers back to the car. The hub suggested oversized trash bags, which had to be quite the sight. We haven’t an attached garage but park in a drive, so we carried one enormous load after another, chucked over one shoulder, in the middle of the night. I’m sure the neighbors thought that was completely normal. It was around 10 p.m., paper folding complete, that I climbed into the driver’s seat, the eldest in the passenger and the hub in the backseat. He was crammed amongst the bodies, I mean the plastic trash bags full of newspapers with an excel spreadsheet and a pen in hand. Ever the nerd, I had made a spreadsheet listing each house and business on the route, in order, along with any pertinent information. For example, if a location received more than one paper, none at all, or a paper needed to be in a particular location. The idea was for the hub to check off each location while I drove, and the eldest chucked papers out the window. Our route that night began with the businesses of Wagner, and this is where I failed to further take into account reality. We started at CVS and then behind Papa Johns and other businesses on Main. We cut across the latter to the gas station, out onto Wagner for the chiropractor, and so it went, weaving in and out with relatively little to no traffic. It was a moment best served with background music such ELO’s All Over the World or better yet, Dead or Alive’s You Spin Me Round. Because as we passed Russ Road, the hub, his pale face aiding lost ships in a foggy harbor from the backseat, announced the obvious — he was getting car sick. Fortunately, we managed to deliver to all the businesses before the hub decorated the car and the witching hour set upon us. Still, the eldest and yours truly continued into the night, debating the logistics of her tackling such a large route on her own, as was the initial plan. “Maybe we bit off more than we could chew?” I purposed. “We?” said the eldest daughter’s silence, along with “No, mom, you did the biting.” Isn’t that how nostalgia is in reality? Time has a way of smoothing the sharp corners of life, making challenging moments far more innocent, maybe even more endearing then reality warrants. For me, the newspaper route of my youth is a reminder of my maternal grandparents as selfless and endearing, without a single complaint. Never mind, it was more than likely my mother, who volunteered them into the trappings of my first childhood job. At least I get it honestly. Now my children will have something similar to look back upon when I am older or dust — a fond memory of when that woman volunteered them into delivering 600 newspapers. Is it too early to claim senility? On a side note, our second attempt at 625, the following week, was a near well-oiled machine that included some fairly hilarious moments, but that’s another story for another day. Bethany J.

THEIR VIEW Our tax dollars shouldn’t go to fuel China’s rise When U.S. taxpayers send their hard-earned money to the government, they shouldn’t worry that it’s being used to fuel economic and military growth in China. But that’s exactly what’s happening today. Every year, more than $150 billion in U.S. taxpayer money goes towards cutting-edge research conducted at our excellent network of universities and research institutions, helping us remain the global leader in science and technology. However, based on an eight-month bipartisan investigation by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations that I chair, China has worked to exploit our U.S. research systems for their own gain. Our report reveals how the American taxpayer has, in effect, unwittingly footed the bill for research that has gone to China to advance national security and economic interests over the past two decades while our own federal agencies have done little to stop it.

If universities can vet employees for scientific rigor or allegations of plagiarism, they can also vet for financial conflicts of interests and foreign sources of funding. These are complicated risks that the U.S. research community and the federal government must better understand. I am pleased to see that the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy has been a leader in working with federal agencies and U.S. research institutions to help them better respond to these threats. I plan to work with the White House, national research agencies, universities, and the State Department on legislative solutions to protect our research.

The Mound is estimated to have been constructed by the Adena culture that lived in the area during the Early Woodland Period, an archeological classification ranging from approximately 1000 BC to 200 BC. Archeologists theorize and have some evidence to suggest Native cultures built mounds along the Ohio River Valley for burial, religious, and perhaps occasionally defensive purposes. “The Mound Cemetery Mound is believed to have been built as a burial structure, or a marker for ceremonial, historical, or community gatherings. We are unable to know specifically what the Adena culture used this mound for without digging up the contents that have laid underneath the Mound for thousands of years,” said Bicentennial Ambassadors Brielle Newland. Meigs County and the Ohio River Valley were once so populated with mounds that travelers such as Henry Brackenridge, passing through Ohio and the Mississippi Valley, could write in 1811: “There is hardly a The Grain Custom Pens & Blanks, Mohler Brother Designs, Saber Saw N Stuff, Space Cadet From page 1A Soaps, The Herbal Sage Tea Company, Tuckerman’s with candles and a The indoor market few other things, Sevenwill feature many of the fold Book Art and more. vendors who were on hand during the summer There are nearly 20 venmarket, including Mitch’s dors already registered for the event.

Parents of late US hostage chasing DPRK assets By Kim Tong-Hyung Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — The parents of a former U.S. hostage who died after being released from North Korea in a coma in 2017 say they are committed to finding and shutting down illicit North Korean business assets around the world in efforts to hold its government accountable for widespread human rights abuses. In a news conference in Seoul on Friday, Fred and Cindy Warmbier also called for the Trump administration to raise North Korea’s human rights problems as it engages in negotiations to defuse the country’s nuclear threat. “My mission would be to hold North Korea responsible, to recover and discover their assets around the world,” said Fred Warmbier, who was invited to a forum hosted by a Seoul-based group representing the families of South Koreans abducted by the North during the 1950-53 Korean War. “We feel that if you force North Korea to engage the world in a legal standpoint, then they will have to ultimately have a dialogue. They are not going to come and have a dialogue with us any other way,” he said. The Warmbiers, who live in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio, have claimed Ahn Young-joon | AP Fred Warmbier, right, and his wife Cindy listen during a press conference Friday in Seoul, South Korea, about their son Otto Warmbier, who died after being released by North Korea in 2017. The Warmbiers say they are committed to finding and shutting down illicit North Korean business assets around the world in efforts to hold its government accountable for widespread human rights abuses. that their college student son, Otto, was tortured by North Korea after being convicted in 2016 of trying to steal a propaganda poster and imprisoned for months. The 22-year-old suffered severe brain damage and died shortly after being returned to the United States in a vegetative state in June 2017. The North denied that it tortured or cruelly treated the University of Virginia student and called itself the “biggest victim” in his death while accusing Washington and Seoul of orchestrating a smear campaign. In December last year, a U.S. federal judge ordered North Korea pay more than $500 million in a wrongful death suit OHIO BRIEFS filed by the Warmbiers over their son, although they are unlikely to collect on the judgment. The Warmbiers have been pushing legal action seeking the closure of a hostel operated on the grounds of the North Korean Embassy in Berlin and plan to go after other hostels the country operates in Europe, which they say are aimed at pressuring governments to tighten their enforcement of sanctions against Pyongyang. “We cannot give up, we can’t give them a pass. We have to fight with all of our power,” Cindy Warmbier said. She also expressed hope that the Trump administration would use its diplomatic opening with Pyongyang to address the North’s human rights issues. During the earlier part of his presidency, President Donald Trump strongly criticized North Korea over its dismal human rights record, inviting the Warmbiers to his State of the Union address last year where he lashed out at the “depraved character” of the government led by third-generation leader Kim Jong Un. But Trump months later began playing down the severity of North Korea’s human rights record and showering Kim with praises as they engaged in high-stakes nuclear summitry, which has so far led to three meetings but failed to produce substantial agreements on the North’s nuclear disarmament. Smith's 60th Anniversary Regulators deny rate hike Carl & Dot were married on November 25th, 1959 OH-70160530 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An electricity rate hike that would have funded a solar farm in southern Ohio was denied by state regulators Thursday. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio voted to deny the application saying American Electric Power hadn’t proven a need for the 400-megawatt Highland County project. Ohio law requires the commission to determine whether a proposed project to generate electricity is needed, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The company argued customers want more renewable energy and that the project would bring jobs. The commissioners said there’s already renewable options for customers in the state’s current electricity market.

Class N or Class NN permits to hunt during the antlerless deer season can be purchased at any time. Antlerless deer firearms season opens Nov. 25 on private land and selected public lands. Hunters should consult the 2019– 20 Hunting and Trapping Regulations available at license agents and at http://www.wvdnr. gov/ for specific antlerless deer regulations in each county and wildlife management area. Small game hunting, including bobcats, is prohibited during the first three days of buck firearms season in all counties having a buck firearms season. Archery and crossbow hunting for antlered and antlerless deer is legal during the buck firearms season subject to all archery and crossbow deer hunting regulations.

The Ohio Department of Aging and the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (EMA) remind older Ohioans and their families that preparation is key and older adults may have special considerations as they get ready for another Ohio winter. “Wintry conditions can be particularly challenging for older Ohioans,” said Ursel J. McElroy, director of the Department of Aging. “For a variety of reasons, you may have a harder time adjusting to temperature extremes and outdoor conditions than you did when you were younger. Further, snow and ice increase your risk for a fall, which can have serious consequences as we age.” “Make sure you and your home are prepared for severe winter weather,” added Sima Merick, executive director of Ohio EMA. “In addition to snow, ice, and cold, winter weather can include strong winds, heavy rains, flooding, and more.” Have a plan that will allow you to remain in place for at least three days should you be unable to leave your home due to weather conditions or other emergencies. Items to put in an emergency kit should include: a battery-operated radio, a flashlight, and extra batteries; a loud horn, whistle, or bell to signal for help; food you can open and prepare easily; one gallon of water per person, per day; extra blankets; and a first-aid kit. Similarly, have a bag packed with essential supplies in case you need to leave your home. A kit for leaving your home can fit into a backpack or duffel bag and should include: a radio, flashlight, and batteries; travel-size toiletries; baby wipes; a multipurpose tool with a knife and can opener; extra clothing and shoes; and light rain gear. Older adults may want to consider other steps to ensure you have what you need in an emergency, such as: š7ZZ�ifWh[�]bWii[i�WdZ� hearing aid batteries to your emergency kits; š?dYbkZ[�W�XWYakf�ikfply of medications you take (ask your pharmacist for advice on safe storage) and copies of your prescriptions in your kits; šA[[f�_Y[�fWYai�_d�j^[� freezer and a soft-sided cooler near your kits for medications that need to be kept cool; šCWa[�ikh[�oekh� assistive equipment, like canes, walkers, oxygen tanks, etc., are easy to locate in an emergency, and have non-powered options for equipment that will not work without electricity; š8[�fh[fWh[Z�je�gk_Yaly explain to rescue workers how to move you or help you move safely and quickly; and š7ia�W�h[b_WXb[�\Wc_bo� member, friend or neighbor to visit or call you in an emergency to make sure you are okay, and agree on a plan for what they should do if they are unable to reach you or find you needing help.

The Canton Repository reports Travis Boyd’s call of heads Thursday at the Stark County Board of Elections has won him a seat as mayor of Magnolia for the next four years. An election Nov. 5 left Boyd and opponent Grant Downes tied at 147 votes each. The two men shook hands after the flip. “It’s a giant relief, to tell you the truth, that this is over for sure,” Boyd said. Downes took the defeat in stride while acknowledging the final result was disappointing. “We’re all competitive,” he said. “But it’s still going to be a good outcome. Travis is going to do a good job for us.” The men ran for the position after longtime Mayor Robert Leach decided not to seek reelection. Leach was elected the Magnolia mayor in 1979 after winning, that’s right, a coin flip. He ran unopposed for his next nine terms. Magnolia’s population is just under 1,000 people. It’s roughly 70 miles south of Cleveland. Information from the Ohio Department of Aging and Ohio Emergency Management Agency, provided by the Meigs County Health Department.

Balloting of the league’s head coaches identified the All-RSC First & Second Teams, the RSC Champions of Character Team and the individual award winners. The All-RSC teams included 14 players on the first and second teams. That includes four forwards, four midfielders, four defenders and two goalkeepers. Cam Orellana, a sophomore from Santiago, Chile leads the conference with 22 goals and 48 points on the year, powering the RedStorm to a 15-3-1 record and a No. 10 NAIA ranking. Borquez, a freshman from Santiago, Chile, is sixth in the RSC with 28 points and second with 12 assists on the year. Cam Orellana and Borquez were among five first team selections for the RedStorm. Also representing Rio were freshman defender Rodrigo Basso (Santiago, Chile) and senior defender James Williamson (San Jose, Costa Rica) and senior goal keeper Richard Dearle (Castle Donington, England), the top net-minder in the voting. Williamson has one assist on the season, while Basso has a pair of goals. Dearle has a .610 goals against average and an .821 save percentage. WVU Tech, which captured the regular season championship by virtue of an overtime win over Rio before claiming the tournament title as well with a shootout victory over the RedStorm, took home three of the big individual awards. The Golden Bears led the awardees with RSC Player of the Year Rolando Sanchez, a midfielder; RSC Defensive Player of the Year Allan Costa, a defender; and RSC Coach of the Year Oliver Hewitt-Fisher. Sanchez, Costa and Hewitt-Fisher led Tech to a 17-0-1 regular season and a top-10 NAIA national ranking. The Golden Bears have allowed just 16 goals in 18 games. WVU Tech and Rio Grande dominated the AllRSC First Team with seven and five members selected, respectively. The other two players were Point Park forward Mitchell Roell and IU East midfielder Gustavo Ferrari. WVU Tech also had first-teamers Jesus Naves and Manuel Garcia at forward, Sergio Sanchez at midfield, Alvaro Tina at defender and Jorge Martinez at goalkeeper.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Kaleb Wesson had 15 points and seven rebounds as No. 10 Ohio State used a big second half to rout Purdue Fort Wayne on 85-46 Friday night. Freshman D.J.

The Buckeyes grabbed control with an early 16-0 run, including 3s by Walker and Duane Washington Jr., and four points from freshman E.J. Liddell. Ohio State led by as many as 21 points in the first half before settling for a 42-25 lead at the break. Washington had eight first-half points for the Buckeyes. Ohio State outscored Purdue Fort Wayne 43-21 in the second half. Wesson and Walker each hit a pair of 3s early in the half to put OSU up 56-29.

Utah missed 11 of its final 12 shots and did not make a field goal in the final 5 minutes — but made up for that by making 27 of 28 free throws, including 13 of 14 down the stretch. Only Riley Battin’s miss with 29 seconds remaining — on the team’s final attempt — kept the Utes from being perfect at the line. Jason Preston scored 21 points and Ben Vander Plas added 13 for the Bobcats (3-3), who have lost three in a row.

Winless Bengals hope to avoid ‘horror show’ vs Steelers CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton could barely protect himself as the Steelers poured through the line, sacking him eight times at Heinz Field in September — one of the quarterback’s worst moments in a nine-year career. Now it’s rookie Ryan Finley’s turn to feel the heat. The winless Bengals will see how their fourth-round pick fares against the Steelers’ hardcharging defense Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, where thousands of Pittsburgh fans are expected to make it a challenging atmosphere for the home team. The psychological bruises from that 27-3 drubbing on a Monday night two months ago are still fresh. “As the game went, we were throwing the ball a lot and they were just teeing off,” first-year coach Zac Taylor said. “It turned into a bit of a horror show there and we’ve got to learn from that.” Both Ohio River rivals are trying to get beyond a little horror. The Steelers (5-5) lost Ben Roethlisberger in the season opener and dropped four of their first five, but stabilized behind fill-in Mason Rudolph and a defense that’s been among the league’s best at getting the ball. The momentum was broken last week in Cleveland with a costly 21-7 loss. Top receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster sustained a concussion and a knee injury. Running back James Connor aggra- vated an injured shoulder. Rudolph had his helmet ripped off by Cleveland’s Myles Garrett, who then clubbed the quarterback with it, drawing an indefinite suspension. Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey punched and kicked Garrett and got a three-game suspension that was later reduced to two games after an appeal. It’s quite a challenge for a team that can’t afford to lose this one if it wants to make a playoff run. “We can’t let off the gas pedal at all,” linebacker T.J. Watt said. “We’re learning that this year.” They’re heading to a place where they’ve had many season-saving moments. And things have never been more miserable at this side of the river.

In the bigger picture, they’ve lost 12 straight from last season, a club record. They’re starting a rookie quarterback who has completed only 47.5 percent of his throws and could find himself back on the bench with another bad showing. “It’s a new week to reinvent ourselves,” Finley said. Lopsided rivalry No matter how much it’s struggling, Pittsburgh usually get things straightened out against the Bengals. In addition to nine straight wins in the series, the Steelers have taken 12 of 13 and 17 of 20. They’ve won six in a row at Paul Brown Stadium, including an 18-16 victory in a firstround playoff game in the 2015 season when Vontaze Burfict’s hit to Antonio Brown’s head set up the winning field goal. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is 20-5 all-time against Cincinnati. Where’s the beef? The Steelers have one of the NFL’s most experienced offensive lines and have done an excellent job of keeping whoever is at quarterback upright. Pittsburgh has allowed 15 sacks on the season, the second-fewest in the league. The line, however, has struggled to generate much push in the running game. The Steelers are 28th in yards rushing and have had trouble all season converting shortyardage situations. The running game could get some reinforcement if rookie Benny Snell Jr. returns after missing three games because of a knee injury. “There is a certain meat-on-meat or bone-onbone element of football that you can’t run away from and short yardage is one of them,” Tomlin said. Finley’s fate The Bengals benched Dalton after an 0-8 start so they could see whether Finley fits in their long-term plans. Taylor has left the door open for a return to Dalton if the rookie continues to struggle. Browns enter season’s stretch changed after Garrett incident CLEVELAND (AP) — As they walked out of FirstEnergy Stadium into the darkness more than a week ago, the Browns couldn’t celebrate their biggest win in an uneven season as a cloud of uncertainty hung over them. It burst open. They return Sunday a changed team. Myles Garrett’s jaw-dropping, helmetswinging assault on Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph last week in front of national TV audience has altered everything for the Browns (4-6), who could move deeper into the AFC playoff mix with a win over the Miami Dolphins (2-8), a team that has had its own recent share of turbulence. Garrett won’t play again in 2019 — and it’s not known when he’ll be back in 2020 — after he was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for his attack on Rudolph. The star’s appeal was denied this week, leaving the Browns to move on without their top defensive player and further complicating a season filled with drama and adversity. It’s been one obstacle after the next. “I’ve had a tattoo on my arm since I was probably 18, ‘The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy,’” wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said. “Adversity is a true test of character and we are going through it right now, we’ve been going through it. “We’ve stood firm and we’ve fought and we’ve battled and we’ve come out with scars and scratches. We’ve lost, but the main thing is we fought and we’re finding ways to overcome any kind of adversity So as long as we stick together as a team, I feel very confident in this group that we can go out and get a win this weekend. But it’s never going to be easy.” The Dolphins have dealing with their own challenges. They’ve played well of late, winning two of three following an 0-7 start. But Miami took some roster hits this week with starting safeties Reshad Jones and safety Bobby McCain going on injured reserve and leading rusher Mark Walton being cut after his arrest on charges he punched his pregnant girlfriend. It’s been a tough swim for the Dolphins. “You try to make the best out of it,” said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. “There’s a lot of those things that we don’t control as players. We just go out there and play. That’s kind of how we have to approach it.” “I don’t really hold onto it,” Landry said. “At the time when it happened, maybe then, just how things were communicated. Now I’m happy to be here. This is one of the games that I knew in two years I’d get a chance to have. I’m happy it’s here.” Getting gashed The Dolphins rank next to last in the NFL in rushing defense, which could be a problem against Cleveland’s Nick Chubb, who went over 1,000 yards last week. Miami gave up 168 yards — 114 in the first half — to Buffalo last week. “That’s ridiculous,” said tackle Davon Godchaux. “I take full blame for it, being a captain on the team. I promise you we’ll get it fixed.” Decimated defense The Browns could be missing four starters from a defense coming off its best game this season. In addition to Garrett, Cleveland will be without tackle Larry Ogunjobi, who was suspended one game for shoving Rudolph and safety Morgan Burnett, who tore his Achilles tendon against Fish story the Steelers. Defensive No Browns player is more excited for Sunday’s end Olivier Vernon didn’t game than receiver Jarvis practice this week and has missed the past two Landry, who spent four games with a sprained seasons with the Dolphins before being traded. knee. “A lot of history,” he said.

Apply with Résumé to Matt Rodgers, mrodgers@aimmediamidwest.com CLASSIFIEDS �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel President Trump meets with 22 college championship teams WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump met Friday with athletes and coaches from 22 collegiate national championship teams. Traditional White House visits for champion college and pro sports teams have become politically loaded events during Trump’s presidency, and Friday’s gathering was no different. Elise Gout, a member of Columbia University’s 2019 championship fencing team, said she and three of her teammates had hoped to present Trump with the letter arguing that Trump has “perpetuated a culture that conditions women and minority gender identities to be silent — to sacrifice the space they have every right to take up.” But Gout said the athletes were told by a Trump aide that they could not bring the letter with them during their brief meeting with Trump in the East Room of the White House. The letter stated it only represented the views of the four signatories, fencers who competed on the 2019 championship team and graduated earlier this year, and not Columbia University or the fencing team. White House spokesman Judd Deere said the Columbia fencers’ visit with Trump was cordial, and White House staff extended an invitation for the athletes and coach to come back to the White House at a later date to discuss any policy concerns they have.

Manfred fined the Boston Red Sox in September 2017 for using an Apple Watch to steal signals from New York Yankees catchers. “It’s a challenge for our sport and all sports to regulate the use of that technology in a way that makes sure that we have integrity in our play,” he said. When the Red Sox were fined, only weeks before the Astros won their first World Series title, Manfred said all 30 clubs were notified that future violations would be subject to more serious sanctions, including the possible loss of draft picks. �8B Sunday, November 24, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel Jeep Gladiator up to off Jeep Grand Cherokee up to off 2019 Ram 1500 DT Crew Cab Big Horn 4x4 UP TO $15,000 off with Employee Pricing Plus OH-70160999 Homhee o f t air y!
