The council heard from a third party consultant with the Ohio Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP). The presentation of the rate study was given by Wayne Cannon. According to Cannon, in a typical year, based on the past five years, the expenses of the Middleport water department should be around $359,758. The revenue for a typical year should be around $356,969. As mentioned in earlier reports, there has been no increase since 2013 for the minimum water rate of $18.83 for the first 2,000 gallons. Cannon said a three percent annual increase should have been happening for at least the Remembering ‘the 46’ in Point Pleasant Silver Bridge remembrance ceremony Saturday By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest. com POINT PLEASANT — The annual remembrance ceremony which will observe the 51st anniversary of the Silver Bridge Disaster will take place this Saturday, Dec. 15 in Point Pleasant. The memorial event, which began in 2015 to honor the victims of the disaster, will start at 5:30 p.m. on 6th Street. Event organizer Kenny Grady shared the ceremony will open with Cody Smith performing “Thankful.” Following, Minister Jordan Decker will lead all the guests in an opening prayer and Mason County Commission President Tracy Doolittle will give the welcome. Mayor Brian Billings will then begin the dedication of the Silver Bridge Memorial Mural. During the mural’s dedication, the artist of the mural, Jesse Corlis, will be introduced as well as the members of the mural committee See CEREMONY | 5 last five years. Several repairs have not been made for many years. The council, along with Cannon, calculated that valves need exercised, or tested, the pipes needed directional flushing to be cleaned, and the flow and pressure needed more monitoring. According to the Village Administrator Joe Woodall, some of the valves have not been turned for at least 20 years. In order to pay for those maintenance repairs, Cannon recommends that the rate for the first 2,000 gallons would be increased immediately to $24.90, which is a 20 percent increase. In the following years, the rate would increase 12 percent in 2020, five percent in 2021, and then back to the original recommendation of three percent. By 2023, the recommended rate would be $32.37. “There’s nothing more important to our village than its water supply,” councilman Brian Conde said. Cannon also pointed at that in 2017, there were over 15 million gallons of water unaccounted for. This could be due to leaks, but he said the water needs to be monitored more closely. The council agreed to look at the data more before making what they called a difficult decision. In other business, the council appointed Jeremy Fisher as the new Magistrate to replace Linda Warner. The contracts for area police departments and sheriff’s offices were renewed for prisoner housing in the Middleport Jail. The next Middleport Village Council meeting will be Monday, Jan. 14, 2019.

Before beginning the tour, visitors were welcomed with refreshments at Riverby, home of the French Art Colony at 530 First Avenue. Riverby was built in 1855-58 by Dr. Livesay, and subsequently was home to Dr. Nedham in 1880, and Dr. Charles Holzer, Senior, in 1918. In 1971 it became home to the FAC and has served as its headquarters and hospitality site since that time. The facility was seasonally decorated, with one of the trees displaying a Hallmark ornament collection. According to Cynthia Sexton, FAC board member and chair of the holiday tour, the group sponsors the event to give people an opportunity to see inside some of the lovely older homes in Gallipolis. Lorna Hart | Courtesy Pictured are some of the organizers of the French Art Colony’s annual holiday home tour, Tom Moulton, Cynthia Sexton, Linda Hall. “This tour highlights Gallipolis and gets people in the holiday spirit,” Sexton said. “Visitors have an opportunity to tour the homes, and also get lots of great decorating ideas for their own homes.” The first home on the tour was also the oldest. Built in 1820, the Lindegarde Home at 330 Third Avenue featured seven themed Christmas trees. Visitors enjoyed this two story home’s Nutcracker Suite, Dickens Village, Cardinal Room, and Ohio State and Coke Room, as well as beautifully decorated fireplaces original to the home. The Nostalgia Room held antique toys and a Lego Village. The Harvey Home at 218 First Avenue, was built in 1865 and overlooks the Ohio River. The Italianate home’s entrance was welcoming with outside decorations, and inside a warm glow from the two fireplaces captured the ambiance of the home’s historic features that also included original doors. The dining room table was set for guests and an exterior brick wall incorporated in the newly remodeled kitchen effectively tied the old part of the home to the new. A craftsman style house at 644 Fourth Avenue is now home to the Diddle’s, who have been working to restore the original woodwork and floors. The charming home is complete with built in bookcases, dining room hutch, and the original custom built-in Frigidaire ice box. The kitchen welcomed guests with refreshments and a whimsical Elf/Santa Claus tree in the dining room captured the holiday spirit of the home.

The Betzing fire of 1917 By Jordan Pickens Special to the Sentinel I was watching the news of the horrifying fire that claimed the lives of five children in Youngstown on Dec. 10. I cannot imagine the feeling of the immediate family and the community for such a devastating loss. As a parent myself, I hugged my wife and son a little tighter after hearing of the event. It has kept running through my mind thinking about the grieving of the family and the community, and I send my deepest condolences to all who have been affected by this tragedy. My dad and late grandfather have been firefighters for as long as I can remember. Some of the dreadful stories that I have heard from them, I cannot begin to explain or understand how anyone could cope with seeing such tragedy. As I sat down to write this week’s article, I came upon a story very similar to that in Youngstown, only this took place in Minersville. This story needs to be told for two reasons: first, to show how a life can change in an instant, and second, to remember the lives lost in the Betzing house fire in Minersville in 1917. The following is an article in its entirety, taken from the May 23, 1917 edition of Pomeroy’s Tribune-Telegraph newspaper. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Betzing and their six children was located on the riverfront at Minersville, the third building above Windsor Salt Works lot. It was a story and a half frame building of old time construction and odd arrangement. Mr. and Mrs. Betzing and baby occupied a room on the ground floor. Five children slept upstairs. According to Mr. Betzing, he arose at about 5 o’clock to go to the river with his brother, Pete, to look at some trotlines. He talked with his wife, who remained in bed. He carried a lamp into the next room and extinguished it on leaving the house. He waited sometime on the riverbank before his brother arrived at about 5:30. There was nothing to indicate anything amiss at the house. Nor was there any evidence of anyone else astir in the neighborhood. Courtesy of Jordan Pickens The grave marker for the Betzing family, of which the mother and children were killed in a house fire in 1917. It was a calm, beautiful, serene Sabbath Morning with the whole neighborhood enjoying rest, peace and fancied security. On any other morning of the week, there would have been activity on every hand in preparation for the day’s work, and possibly the outcome of the fire would have been less disastrous had the neighbors had fairer warning. When out on a line nearly across the river, Mr. Betzing’s attention was attracted by the noise of a dull sounding explosion. In a few moments, he was horrified to see the flames burning from the windows of his home and to hear the screams of his children. In spite of their frantic efforts, they only succeeded in reaching the scene of when it was too late to be of assistance. Naturally, the father was frantic and was restrained with difficulty from rushing into the death heap to join his loved ones. There are several theories to the origin of the fire, although the facts never will be certainly known. One theory is that the oil lamp may have exploded. Another, and the more plausible is that Mrs. Betzing arose and attempted to light the fire in the kitchen stove using oil (or gasoline by mistake,) and when an explosion resulted, in which she was so injured the she could neither escape or give alarm. She did manage, however, in reaching the next room (USPS 436-840) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Sunday and Tuesday through Friday. Subscription rate is $131.61 per year.

AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC with the babe clasped in her arms. If she had been in the kitchen, she probably went there taking the baby with her. The stove was found tilted up on the rear end as if thrust that way by explosion before it was dropped to the ground by the burning away of the floor. The Walter Thomas family on one side and Grant Hood’s on the other were aroused by the cries of the perishing and were horrified to see the Betzing home in flames. Ray Thomas was the first on the scene and made a superhuman attempt to rescue a boy and a girl from the upstairs window while another was trying to force in one of the downstairs doors. Ray was painfully burned and had to give up. Grant Hood then went up the ladder and tried to pull the girl out, but the window sash had fallen on her and was holding fast. Back of his sister, the son, Earl, age 15, was standing with an expression on his face that he was particularly unconscious. Neither of the children uttered a word. Soon the house fell in and the children disappeared in the flaming mass. There were heroes there that morning, but the handicaps were such that heroism availed nothing. Those seven people went to eternity because fate willed it so. Mrs. Betzing, the mother was 36 years of age. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank O’Neil of Mason. She was a devoted mother, who was giving her whole life’s activities to her home and her children. The children were Earl, the only boy aged 15; Clara, 13; Beulah, 10; Helen, 7; Eleanor, 5; and Florence, the 18-monthold baby. The Walter Thomas home, next door west, soon caught fire and burned to the ground. Mr. Thomas has been (an) invalid for months and had to be carried out of the doomed building. A part of the household effects were saved. Lou Custer’s house, nest to Thomas’, was saved only by a great effort, and that of Grant Hood’s, east of Betzing’s, was saved from burning by hard work and protection of a large elm tree between the properties. Undertaker Ben Ewing of the B.F. Biggs Co. was early on the scene and worked hard and intelligently with the help of neighbors in removing the bodies compactly as possible from the heap of burning embers. Not one of the corpses retained any semblance of human form. Three of the little forms found on the bedsprings, indicating that they suffocated and expired without leaving the bed. The two older children were seen to fall back into the flames after an attempt to escape by an upstairs window. The youngest dies in her mother’s arm(s.) The remains of Mrs. Betzing and the six children were removed to the home of her parents at Mason, Monday afternoon the mother and babe in one casket and the other five children in the other. The funeral services were held at the M.E. church at Mason yesterday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Wollard, the Syracuse M.E. minister. It was one of the largest gatherings that ever attended a funeral in the Bend, hundreds of people not being able to gain admission in the church. It required seven trips of the ferryboat to convey the people from this side to Mason. The Minersville Sunday school attended in a body. Likewise, one hundred and fifty fellow miners from the Rolling Mill Mine, where Mr. Betzing is employed (attended.)

In 2002, Cardinal Bernard Law resigned as Boston archbishop because of the priest sex abuse scandal. Ten years ago: The White House weighed its options for preventing a collapse of the troubled U.S. auto industry. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford won the Heisman Trophy after guiding the highest-scoring team in major college football history to the national championship game. Five years ago: North Korea’s state-run media announced the execution the day before of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s uncle, portraying Jang Song Thaek as a morally corrupt traitor. Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom after four years of marriage. One year ago: Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton appointed Lt. Gov. Tina Smith to fill the Senate seat of fellow Democrat Al Franken until a special election in November, 2018. Congressional Republicans reached agreement on a major overhaul of the nation’s tax laws that would provide generous tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans; middle- and low-income families would get smaller tax cuts. THEIR VIEW The old mill and its Beams Years ago, many people referred to State Route 134 North as “Port William Pike”, the gentle winding highway that meanders from Wilmington to Port William. The highway is bisected by Interstate 71, flanked by soybean fields and lavish stands of corn, and looking pretty much the same today as it did in the 1950s, with the exception of the interstate. The construction of the bridge on State Route 134 across Interstate 71 was of great curiosity to the people of Port William at the time. Farmers, townsfolk, and kids often drove to the site to watch the large earthmoving machines dig and haul dirt away from the Ellis farm, placing the rich soil, scoop by scoop, into waiting dump trucks. The road workers carefully placed round, smoking smudge pots at the construction site as a warning for motorists, much as traffic cones are used today. This was at a time there was no such thing as a reflective device, and the wick-lit kerosene smudge pots were the warning illuminations for drivers. One summer evening, our family was headed to bed when the phone rang. My mother picked up the handset and answered, “Haleys.” As the voice on the other end began to speak, Mom could hear the various phones of our neighbors begin to pick up to eavesdrop on County. the conversation.

After each game I would hear Betty shout, “Pat, get over here and get a drink of water,” as she pumped a tin cup full of pure well water from their pump. In the winter, particularly at Christmastime, the Beams allowed everyone in town to come to the milldam and ice skate. A big truck tire was thrown on the ice, and kids and adults alike formed a circle around the huge bonfire, warming themselves between skates. The Beams are a wonderful family. Bruce and David are good friends of ours. Maynard, Malcolm, and their families, honor us every year by inviting us to join them in celebrating the harvest on their farms. People gather to eat, tell stories, to give thanks for the good crops and safe harvest, and offer a prayer of thanksgiving and celebrate the goodness of life. Garrison Keillor once wrote, “When you die, it all goes with you — your stories, so vivid, the scenes of your colorful life, the people you loved. “Since I’m a writer I can’t help believing I can keep all that alive.” The Beam story and the old mill are good ones to keep alive.

Ideally, cookies keep their optimal freshness for about a week. If you have started baking a few weeks before Christmas, freeze your work to maintain quality. Before baking anything, feed yourself. If your stomach is full, there is less cookie dough munching. The average baker eats 2.5 cookies of raw dough before they are baked. As they come out of the oven, they must be tasted — that brings the total to 3.5 cookies consumed. Then the broken crumbs must be eaten, because they are too good to be thrown away. For each batch of homemade cookies produced, the baker consumes an average of 4.5 cookies. Depending on the type and size of cookie, this could range from 400 to 800 calories. Eat healthy before baking. Drinking water while baking controls cookie indulgence. Chewing gum is another cookie eating deterrent. Buy fresh ingredients.

Freeze some immediately to keep them fresh. If mixing up a boxed cake mix, replace the oil with nearly the exact same amount of melted butter. It will improve the flavor and the texture will be lighter and heavenly. To swap oil for butter: ¼ cup of oil = 1/3 cup melted butter; ½ cup oil = 2/3 cup melted butter; ½ cup oil = 2/3 cup melted butter and ¾ cup oil = 1 cup of melted but- ter. Only uses fresh cake mixes; expired mixes will still work, but the quality will not be the same. I will start baking and freezing cakes and cookies this week. Bake some of your own; even a premixed tube of cookie dough coming out of the oven can make your home smell like a bakery. May Christmas be merry and bright for you and the family.

The Eastern boys basketball team used a 34-18 surge in the second and third quarters on Tuesday night to secure a 60-47 victory over visiting South Gallia in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at the Eagle’s Nest in Meigs County. The host Eagles (3-1, 2-0 TVC Hocking) managed to build an early 12-10 first quarter advantage, despite the fact that Braxton Hardy scored eight quick points for the Rebels (2-2, 1-1) in the opening canto. Hardy, however, was held scoreless over the next two frames, and the Green and White made the most of that opportunity as EHS got three trifectas from Ryan Dill as part of an 18-11 run that led to a 30-21 intermission advantage. Dill hit two more 3-pointers during an eightpoint third that saw the hosts go on a pivotal 16-7 surge that extended the Eagle lead out to 46-28 entering the fourth. Hardy and Garrett Saunders respectively scored eight and seven points in the finale as part of a 19-14 SGHS run, but the Red and Gold ultimately ran out of time in the 13-point outcome. The Eagles made 24 total field goals — including seven 3-pointers — and also went 5-of-10 at the free throw line for 50 percent.

Raiders top Point Pleasant, 53-40 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Ultimately, you have to start somewhere. The River Valley boys basketball team secured Brett Bostic’s first win as head coach on Tuesday night thanks to a pivotal 19-8 third quarter surge that led to a 53-40 decision over host Point Pleasant in a nonconference matchup at The Dungeon in Mason County. The visiting Raiders (1-3) ended a three-game skid while also spoiling the season-opening event for the Big Blacks (0-1), who begin the year with three seniors and only one healthy returning starter from a season ago. Early on, the Red and Black showed the part of a team playing its first contest after missing nine shots and committing six turnovers with its first 15 possessions. The Silver and Black made the most of those opening six minutes while building their largest first half lead at 12-0. The Big Blacks finally got on the board with a Hunter Bush basket at the 1:45 mark, making it a 12-2 contest at the end of one quarter. Things, however, took a serious turn in the second frame as Point hit half of its 10 shot attempts during a 16-3 surge that gave lowed with a 10-0 surge that secured a 29-18 edge with 5:26 left in the third period. River Valley — which netted 8-of-14 shot attempts during the third — ended the stanza with a 9-8 run for a 38-26 advantage headed into the finale. The Big Blacks were never closer as the Raiders ended regulation with a slim 15-14 run that wrapped up the 13-point outcome. River Valley’s biggest lead of 53-37 came following a pair of Rory Twyman free throws with 25 seconds left in the contest. It was an up-and-down event for both coaches, but Bostic felt the difference in the outcome came down to execution out of the break. The team with two extra weeks of game experience also showed the just how far it had Point Pleasant junior Aiden Sang (5) releases a shot attempt come over that span. during the second half of Tuesday night’s boys basketball contest “We talked at halftime against River Valley at The Dungeon in Point Pleasant, W.Va. about what we wanted to go out and accomplish, and that was taking care giving the guests a perthe hosts their only lead manent lead with a basket of the basic things that of the game.

(AP) — As he worked diligently for more than a month to return from a potentially dangerous hip injury, Joe Flacco watched the Baltimore Ravens flourish without him. Now that he’s healthy, Flacco must adjust to a role he’s never experienced during his 11-year NFL career: backup quarterback. Ravens coach John Harbaugh on Wednesday selected rookie Lamar Jackson as his starter, opting to play the hot hand rather than a former Super Bowl MVP who’s been starting since his inaugural season in 2008. After Flacco hurt his right hip in a loss to Pittsburgh on Nov 4, the fleetfooted Jackson took over as the starter following a bye week. Under his guidance, the Ravens ramped up their running game and went 3-1, the only loss in overtime last Sunday on the road against the powerful Kansas City Chiefs. With Baltimore desperate to end a three-year playoff drought, Harbaugh decided the Ravens would be best served with Jackson running the offense. “Every decision is based on making us the strongest possible team we can be,” Harbaugh said. “Whether it’s quarterback or defensive line, that’s the bottom line. That’s what it boils down to. That’s how we feel about this decision, and we’re rolling.” Jackson will start Sunday when the Ravens (7-6) host Tampa Bay (5-8). The 33-year-old Flacco has 163 career starts compared to Jackson’s four and has guided the Ravens into the playoffs on six occasions. He was Super Bowl MVP in 2012, when he led Baltimore past San Francisco to cap a postseason in which he threw 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions. But in a league that doesn’t give a hoot about the past, Flacco realized his future in Baltimore would be in jeopardy as soon as the Ravens selected Jackson out of Louisville with the 32nd overall pick in April. “They drafted Lamar in the first round.

With Jackson running the offense, the Ravens have racked up an NFLbest 914 yards rushing over the past four weeks. More importantly, they’ve won three of four to put themselves in the middle of the playoff picture. Baltimore trails Pittsburgh by a half-game in the AFC North and currently holds the No. 6 wild-card spot. And that is why Flacco returns to a role on the bench. “I can’t say I was surprised,” he said. Jackson was the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner because of his ability to run, a skill he’s carried with him to the NFL. His 336 yards rushing are most by a rookie quarterback in his first four starts during the Super Bowl era. Still, one misstep could put an end to his run of success. “They always tell me to protect myself, but I’m going to put it all on the line. I want to win,” Jackson said.

This is just what it is at this point.” Flacco retained the starting job until he banged up his hip against the Steelers. He finished the game and wanted to play in the next one, but the doctors wouldn’t allow it. “The risks of going back out there and playing were just a lot,” Flacco said. “If I just let it play the course and get to where we are today, the risks are nothing.” He was talking about his health, not losing his grip on the starting job. “I’ve obviously had five weeks to think about and prepare myself for this situation and the possibility of it,” Flacco said. “And yeah, I’m disappointed I can’t be in that locker room in the same capacity that I’ve always been. But this is my situation right now, and I’m going to do my best to handle it the right way.” Cleared to practice at full capacity for the first time since his injury, Flacco returned to work Wednesday with the second-team offense.

The Pittsburgh Steelers believe the same could be said about their wildly uneven season. Roethlisberger believes he’ll play on Sunday when New England visits Heinz Field, one of the few certainties for a team in search of answers thanks to a three-game losing streak, the latest setback a baffling 24-21 defeat in Oakland that included Roethlisberger missing most of the second half after taking a shot to the ribs, another late meltdown by the defense and the latest botched kick by Chris Boswell. “Whenever talking about consistent failures in recent weeks, it’s usually a multitude of things,” coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. “It’s all of the above. We’re open to change, going to make discussions regarding change.” Starting, potentially, at placekicker. Boswell was a Pro Bowler in 2017 — a season in which he drilled three game-winning field goals — and signed a contract extension in August that runs through 2022. Yet he has struggled with consistency this season. When his left foot gave way on the final snap in Oakland, turning his potentially game-tying 40-yard attempt into a line drive that smacked into the sea of players in front of him, it marked his 11th missed kick this season (six field goals, five extra points). He missed just 13 combined kicks from 2015-17. Tomlin said the team plans “to explore options that gives us the very best chances of the ball going through the upright this weekend.” That includes holding tryouts to give others a look, though Tomlin admitted there isn’t exactly much to choose from in mid-December. “We’re cognizant of what’s available,” Tomlin said. “The prudent approach is to include Chris in those options.” XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN 7KH )LVFDO <HDU ���� )LQDQFLDO 6WDWHPHQWV RI WKH (DVWHUQ /R� FDO 6FKRRO 'LVWULFW IRU WKH \HDU HQGHG -XQH ��� ���� KDV EHHQ FRPSOHWHG� 7KH\ DUH DYDLODEOH IRU SXEOLF LQVSHFWLRQ LQ WKH WUHDVXUHU V RIILFH ORFDWHG DW ����� 65 ���� 5HHGVYLOOH� 2KLR� EHWZHHQ WKH KRXUV RI ���� D�P� WR ���� S�P� 0RQGD\ WKURXJK )ULGD\� EMPLOYMENT Roethlisberger OK, Boswell not as Steelers weigh changes IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO Bruner Land Company, Inc., Plaintiff, vs. Case No. 18CV063 Derak L.

Browns’ Mayfield flexing rocket arm BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As Baker Mayfield threw long passes to his wide receivers and short ones to backs before Sunday’s game against Carolina, Browns interim coach Gregg Williams knew his rookie quarterback was going to have a good game. It wasn’t any sight. It was a sound. “You can hear the ball come out of the quarterback’s hand with a ‘ssssssst’ and you can hear how tight the ball was coming out of his hand,” Williams said. “It was bringing a smile to my face when I saw him warm up and really the entire game he was zipping it.” Mayfield zipped it all day long, completing a 66-yard pass on Cleveland’s first play and whipping several passes into tight coverage during a 26-20 win that gave the Browns their fifth win and kept their faint playoff hopes flickering. Raiders From page 6 of the game. I cannot be prouder of the kids for what they did tonight in getting this road win. It’s a start for us in a positive direction.” Conversely, PPHS coach Josh Williams acknowledged that his team had some goods and some bads in the opener. But, as he put it, it’s the first of many more chances to improve as a basketball team. “I think you could tell there were some firstgame jitters on our part. Big crowd, team from across the river and a lot of kids making their first starts or varsity debuts. We had troubles shooting the ball early and I think that initial excitement got to us,” Williams said. “We were getting the shots and getting some stops early on, but absolutely nothing would go in the basket. We stayed with it and made a nice run to get back in it, but River Valley made another nice run at us to start the second half and they answered every time we made a run, so we couldn’t really build any momentum. “It’s game one, and we have some good things from tonight and some things to improve on. We also have a lot of basketball left to play, so we’ll grow from this and move on.” River Valley claimed a 34-22 advantage on the boards, including a 10-9 edge on the offensive glass. The Raiders did Jeff Haynes | AP, file Cleveland Browns interim head coach Gregg Williams talks with quarterback Baker Mayfield (6) before his first game as head coach against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 4. As Mayfield threw hard, tight passes to his receivers and backs before Sunday’s game against Carolina, Williams knew his rookie quarterback was going to have a good game. Mayfield’s arm strength isn’t usually the first thing mentioned when discussing the No. 1 overall pick’s top attributes. More often his accuracy, leadership and, of course, abundant confidence are brought up first. But Mayfield, whose “I woke up feeling dangerous” has become a catch phrase around Cleveland, has shown he can rear back and fire the ball with any quarterback. After the Browns fell behind the Panthers 7-0, Mayfield quickly stripped Carolina of momentum by stepping up and throwing a laser down the field — the ball traveled more than 60 yards — to receiver Breshad Perriman, who hauled in the deep pass to set up Cleveland’s first TD. The play exemplified Mayfield’s confidence, and the trust he has built with Cleveland’s coaching staff. “That was a rocket and that was a long throw, and it is a long throw on the money,” Williams said. “In practices, we have seen longer throws and we have seen even more accurate throws that other people have not seen yet.” Mayfield showed off his arm — and accuracy — a little later with a 51-yard TD toss to receiver Jarvis Landry, who appeared to be well-covered on the play. Mayfield, though, squeezed his throw between two defenders, showing both fearlessness and faith. Thursday, December 13, 2018 9 Eagles with 16 points, followed by C.J.

OH-70093326 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals and speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton finalized a $5.25 million contract Tuesday that includes up to $1 million in performance bonuses and a mutual option for 2020. The Royals hope that spacious Kauffman Stadium will allow Hamilton to better use his speed than the bandbox of Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, where he spent his first six seasons with the Reds. “Speed, athleticism, defensive ability.

(AP) — The city of Oakland has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit trying to recover damages for the Raiders’ upcoming move to Las Vegas. The suit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Raiders, the NFL and the other 31 clubs seeks lost revenue, money Oakland taxpayers invested in the Raiders and other costs. The suit does not ask the court to prevent the Raiders’ move to Las Vegas but asks for damages that will help pay off the approximately $80 million in debt remaining from renovations on the Coliseum. The city says the defendants violated federal antitrust laws and the league violated its own relocation policies when the teams voted in March 2017 to approve the Raiders’ decision to move to Las Vegas. “The Raiders’ illegal move lines the pockets of NFL owners and sticks Oakland, its residents, taxpayers and dedicated fans with the bill,” Oakland city attorney Barbara Parker said in a statement. “The purpose of this lawsuit is to hold the defendants accountable and help to compensate Oakland for the damages the defendants’ unlawful actions have caused and will cause to the people of Oakland.” The Raiders are planning to move into their new stadium in Las Vegas in 2020. The team hasn’t signed a lease for 2019. The Raiders had been in talks with Oakland about a lease for next season but they might now look for another option following the suit. The NFL and the Raiders didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
