This levy greatly assisted the police and fire departments in their time of need. Unfortunately our critical emergency ser- vices are not immune from our continuing cost of living always on the rise. The levy that passed in 2011 provided the police Department with the ability to increase coverage for road patrol, a school resource oficer for our elementary school and a replacement for our cruiser that had over 200,000 miles.” Through the levy, the fire department has been able to purchase a new ladder truck, a facility to house it and new safety equipment for firefighters. It created the two safety agencies in the village after being passed in 2011 that were better Sunday, November 5, 2017 s $2 Meigs to see Level II grow facility Will be set up in the Langsville area Staff Report COLUMBUS — Ohio has chosen its first 11 growers for its medical marijuana program, with one to be located in Meigs County. The smaller growers announced Friday by the Department of Com- merce would cultivate up to 3,000 square feet. That’s a small portion of the anticipated cultivation. Up to a dozen larger growers for sites up to 25,000 square feet are expected to be announced later this month. The 11 chosen grow- ers applied for sites in Butler, Clinton, Fairfield, Franklin, Lorain, Lucas, Meigs, Montgomery, Portage, Stark and Summit counties. Two companies applied for multiple locations and must decide on one. The Meigs County site is NOT the larger Level 1 facility which has been applied for in Racine by Ohio Therapeutics LLC, but a smaller facility in the Langsville area. According to a release from the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, Agri-Med Ohio LLC, based in Vienna, West Virginia, was approved for a location with an address along State Route 124 in Langsville.

Bobbie A. Holter, 53, of Racine, pleaded guilty earlier this year to theft, embezzlement or misapplication by a bank employee in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Ohio. Holter was sentenced on Thursday to one year in prison with six months of home confinement to be served prior to the prison sentence. Additionally, Holter was ordered to pay $304,899.59 in restitution to The Citizens Bank ($200,000) and Travelers Insurance ($104,899.59). She was also placed on four years of supervised release. According to court documents, Holter was employed by The Citizens Bank of Logan at its Athens locations from 2002 to 2014, serving as teller supervisor and branch manager during the later portion of that time. The court record described Holter as a model employee until January 2013. From Jan. 22, 2013 to Jan. 31, 2014, Holter was alleged to have taken money from the ATM at the bank’s Wal-Mart branch. The affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Mark Ranck in the case states that in January 2014 Holter brought in $20 bills stating that she had found the money in her father-in-law’s barn, exchanging the $20 bills for $50 bills at the bank. Some of that money was deposited into a daughter’s bank account the affidavit states.

Keep Judge MULFORD A Personal Message from Municipal Judge Eric Mulford Ten months ago, I began serving as the Gallipolis Municipal Court Judge by appointment of the Governor. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and confidence as I embarked on this stage of my career, and ask for your vote as I seek election to a full term as your municipal court judge. My decision to leave my private law practice to serve as a judge was motivated by my commitment to this community and my desire to have a positive impact on public safety. I believe that I have established a trust with you, the residents of our county, and have demonstrated that I have the ability to operate the court efficiently and effectively. My staff and I work every day to ensure that we reflect the community’s values in all of the decisions we make, taking a serious and professional approach to the administration of the court and ensuring that everyone is treated fairly. In the past few months, we have achieved certification from the Ohio Supreme Court to operate our drug and mental health court dockets; have begun transitioning to a paperless case management system with e-filing technology; have been awarded over $177,000 in grant funding for the drug court, house arrest program, and technology upgrades; and have begun operating a regular litter pick-up crew with our probation clients. We strive to ensure that court hearings and trials start on time and that everyone’s time is respected.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month. In the US, 1 in 8 babies are born prematurely. Although there are many reasons and risk factors for prematurity, staying healthy during pregnancy is a very crucial step to keep a woman and unborn baby as healthy as possible, which increases the chances of carrying a baby full term. From the first week of pregnancy to the 40th, it’s important to take care of yourself so you can take care of your baby. A key to protecting the health of Meigs an unborn child is to get regular Health prenatal care, as early in the Matters pregnancy as possible. Throughout Juli Simpson a pregnancy, a health care provider will check on health of mom while also checking on the growth and development of the baby. This may include weight, blood pressure, measurements, listening to the fetal heartbeat, blood and urine tests, as well as ultrasounds. Nutrition is another crucial factor to keep in mind when eating for two. Contrary to common belief, a healthy pregnancy typically only needs about 300 extra calories a day, and this is mostly just during the 3rd trimester when baby is growing quickly. Of course healthy eating is always important, but especially so during pregnancy! It is important to make sure calories come from nutritious foods that will help in baby’s growth and development. Try to maintain a wellbalanced diet that incorporates dietary guidelines, such as lean meats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. It is also important to make sure mom and baby are getting more of the essential nutrients needed during pregnancy, such as calcium, iron, and folic acid, so discussing any supplements (such as prenatal vitamins) with your Dr. is a necessary step. Drinking enough fluids can be difficult, especially when experiencing nausea. However, a woman’s blood volume increases dramatically during pregnancy, and drinking enough A woman’s health water each day care provider can help prevent can discuss any some problems, activity restrictions such as dehydration and premature and guidelines if necessary, but during contractions.

Sleep! A woman’s body is working hard to grow a new life, so fatigue is common. Finding a comfortable position can be difficult, especially as a pregnancy progresses. But getting enough sleep is important for every body system for mom and growing baby. Using extra pillows to support body parts and lying on your side with knees bent is likely to be more comfortable as the belly grows. Of course, it’s also critical to avoid certain things that put both mom and baby at risk for not only premature birth, but also other issues. There is no “safe amount” of alcohol or drugs to consume during pregnancy. Using drugs and alcohol during pregnancy is one of the most common known causes of mental and physical birth defects. It is absolutely critical not to drink or use drugs at any time during pregnancy. Maternal smoking rates are, sadly, very high in Meigs County. A pregnant woman who continues to smoke passes the nicotine and carbon monoxide to the growing baby. Risks of smoking during pregnancy include miscarriage and stillbirth, prematurity, low birth weight, SIDS, asthma and other respiratory problems. There are many resources out there to help people quit smoking. The Meigs County Health Department has a certified tobacco treatment specialist, who can be reached by calling 740-992-6626. Also, the Ohio Department of Health has a Tobacco Quit Line, 1-800-QUIT-NOW. For more information on prematurity and healthy pregnancy, visit www. marchofdimes.org. Juli Simpson, RN, BSN, LSN, is Maternal & Child Health Program Director for the Meigs County Health Department. Perhaps apropos of nothing — which is what I say when I’m about to discuss something of little or no importance — I notice that a new version of “Murder on the Orient Express” will be issued to theaters next weekend. Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh as Agatha Christie’s iconic Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, this production promises a “stylish and suspenseful” viewing experience, as proclaimed by its promotional material, and it no doubt will be all it sets out to do. But considering the equally lavish adaptation of “Murder on the Orient Express” that appeared just over four decades ago, was another version of the tale all that necessary? I have a different take on remakes of movies. They generally fascinate me until I see them, and I am left with the conclusion that the original version was better. New ideas introduced into the remake are okay with me, particularly if they show signs of originality or offer another take on what was so excellent well of stories cenabout the first tering on Poirot. version.

But I just wonder if that first adaptation of the Christie novel is any less lavish than the new take we will soon see. For in its day, and even at this late date, the Sidney Lumet-directed “Murder on the Orient Express” set a standard that subsequent Christie adaptations starring Peter Ustinov as Poirot had to meet. For the first version sweeps viewers into the 1930s and makes them a part of it for almost two hours through the plush settings of the train, fashions and accessories, and even historical events.

YOUR VIEW Showing support for Rio levy Dear Editor, Rio Grande Community College is an integral part to many communities in the area, including Gallia County. Having this level of a quality higher education so close to home at such an affordable price makes Gallia a stronger community. For the first time in 43 years, Rio Grande Community College will have a levy issue on the November 7 ballot. Through this levy, Rio will be able to continue providing quality education at an affordable price, which will strengthen Gallia County for years to come. One out of every four higher education degrees earned by Gallia residents is from Rio Grande. Rio is dedicated to providing educational opportunities to area residents and providing our communities’ businesses with a trained and ready workforce, bringing new employment opportunities to this area and strengthening our local economy. The replacement levy will cost a homeowner, with $100,000 in property, an additional $2.39 per month. Your vote in support of the levy will continue to give residents the opportunity to receive a quality education.

For many years, CarmelSutton UMC utilized two church buildings — the Carmel building on Carmel Road and the Sutton building on Bashan Road. For the past few years church service had been held at the Sutton building, while special events and the young adult Sunday School class had taken place at the Carmel building. Neither facility was large enough to accommodate the growing congregation, particularly at Christmas programs. Parking space was also an issue at the former locations. The move to the larger building means that all Sunday school classes can be held under one roof, as well as having space for programs and activities. “The transition brought tears,” said Kathy McDaniel. The process has taken some time and has seen the transition of pastors during the process with each contributing in their own way, explained McDaniel. Now, the church is settling in to its new location with an open house planned for Sunday Nov. 12 beginning at 10:30 a.m. with the church service. Lunch will be served until 2 p.m. that afternoon. Several former pastors are expected to be in attendance for the open house, while others have already toured the building. With seating for around 225 people in the sanctuary, there were 157 people in attendance for the first Sunday as the flame was carried by runners from the former church building to the new church building. Other events have already taken place at the church, including the annual apple butter making which was made easier by the direct access to the kitchen/dining area from the outside. Additionally, an entrance is located next to one of the adult classrooms to allow for easy parking right outside the door. While the majority of the building and the items in it are new and modern, there are aspects of the former buildings that have made their way into the new building. As you enter into the much larger entryway, above the door is a stained glass window from the Carmel building, along with the bell from the building. As the church made its transition on the morning of Oct. 22, the Sutton bell rang at the Sutton building, with the sound soon being replaced with the ringing of the Carmel bell at the new building. The lighted cross at the front of the sanctuary was crafted by Paul Hayes and Jeff Hill from woodwork which was around the windows in the Carmel building. “We don’t want to forget where we came from,” explained Kathy McDaniel. As they incorporated the old, there is also the touch of modern technology. While there are still song books at the chairs, songs and other items are put on screens in the stage area making it easier for people to see the large print on the screens if they would prefer. Looking forward to events Courtesy photos The new Carmel-Sutton United Methodist Church building sits among the trees on Pleasant View Road (just off Bashan Road).

Sunday school is held at 9:45 a.m. each week, followed by worship service at 11 a.m. On Nov. 12, the open house and service will begin at 10:30 a.m. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel. �LOCAL/EDITORIAL Sunday Times-Sentinel STOCKS Grow From page 1A An announcement on the large facilities, including the one proposed in Racine, is expected in the coming weeks. The Racine facility was the subject of public meetings and support resolutions by local government officials. All of the sites will be indoor, highsecurity, regulated businesses. These companies have nine months to get their businesses operational, and a state team must visit their facilities before they get a certificate that allows them to grow, Department of Commerce spokeswoman Stephanie Gostomski said. “Ohio is the 25th state to implement a medical marijuana program, so Ohio has the benefit of learning from states in the past that have done this,” she said. Some local governments have instituted moratoriums on growing or dispensing medical marijuana, but the department isn’t aware of any such conflicts with the locations for the selected smaller growers, Gostomski said. Ohio’s medical marijuana law, passed last year, allows people with medical conditions such as cancer and epilepsy to buy and use marijuana if a doctor recommends it, but it doesn’t allow smoking. The program is slated to be operational by next fall. The state can offer up to 24 cultivator licenses — up to 12 smaller growers and 12 larger ones. A 12th smaller cultivator could be selected later. Ohio accepted 185 total applications, which are evaluated based on their plans for business, operations, quality assurance, security and finances. Among those selected Friday, the top-scoring applicant was Fire Rock Ltd., which applied for locations in Akron, Canton and Columbus. The other smaller growers chosen are: š�<D�=hekf�>ebZ_d]i�BB9�_d� Ravenna š�Cej^[h�=hemi�8[ij�BB9�_d�9Wdton š�E^_=hem�BB9�_d�Jeb[Ze š�7dY_[dj�Heeji�BB9�_d�M_bc_d]jed š�E^_e�9b[Wd�B[W\�BB9�_d�9Whhebb� and Dayton š�7iY[di_ed�8_eC[Z_YWb�BB9�_d� Oberlin š�7]h_#C[Z�E^_e�BB9�_d�BWd]il_bb[ š�FWhW]ed�:[l[befc[dj�=hekf�BB9� in Huber Heights š�>[ccW�BB9�_d�Cedhe[ š�=Wb[dWi�BB9�_d�7ahed Sentinel managing editor Sarah Hawley and Associated Press journalist Kantele Franko contributed to this report.

Gallipolis is proposing a municipal income tax to be put before voters to finance public safety operations. Ballot language is as follows. “Shall the Ordinance providing for a one percent (1%) levy on income for public safety operations to be effective January 1, 2018 be passed?” Voters are then asked if they are for or against the levy. Should voters pass the levy, this would mean those working in Gallipolis would pay a two percent income tax as opposed to the previous one percent. “It gets tougher for us to deal with (crime),” Gallipolis Police Chief Jeff Boyer said at a previous public meeting. “It gets tougher for us to deal with the drug dealers because 10 full-time officers need to get a search warrant for a house. Everybody in here probably knows of a house they suspect to have drug dealers. It takes many, many hours for our guys to do surveillance, sit on that house, get the proper information they need to go in front of the prosecutor’s office and get a search warrant with a judge to sign it. We know there are drug houses and we know there is a problem.” Boyer said ideally if the levy would pass he would like to hire an additional five new officers for the city as well as meet equipment needs for the Gallipolis Police Department.

Auguste Dupin of “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “The Purloined Letter” and “The Mystery of Marie Roget”) for all modern detectives to follow, including Poirot. Corman, who made eight well-remembered Poe adaptations for the screen in the earlyto-mid 1960s, all but one starring Vincent Price, earned a great deal of respect for of negative reviews it received. It’s up to you if you have an opportunity to compare both the original and the remake, which Turner Classic Movies occasionally offers back-to-back. Speaking of movies, it was gratifying that “Edgar Allan Poe: Buried Alive,” a presentation of PBS’s “American Masters” series that aired Oct. 30, included filmmaker Roger Corman as one of the many contemporary experts to discuss these productions that counterbalanced the director’s initial reputation as a master of low-budget schlock cinema. Corman’s films gave him an appreciation and understanding of the works of Poe, one of America’s truly enduring writers, and it was great to see that at 91, the genial Corman remains a presence in Hollywood whose opinion and expertise still matters.

He said he had a, “great trip coming down,” because the journey was reminiscent of going home. Cooper is a native to Tennessee, but has spread his wings across the country. After high school, he joined the service and had to live overseas for a time. On his return to the states, he went to university and then pursued his career as a college football coach. He coached at a few other colleges before starting his time at The Ohio State University in 1988. When it came to finding future players, he looked for boys who, “can play better than we can coach.” To win them over he would sell the impressive academics OSU has to offer, assured the players they would receive recognition, and lastly gave them a real hope that their chance of being signed by a professional team was likely. Cooper wanted to remind all attendees to “make every day a Friday” in your mind and “make everyday a good day.” “Do not be afraid to take risks or to chase the life that is desired.” Clendenin 77/61 Charleston 78/61 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

(AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell rattled off three reasons why Sunday’s game against Cincinnati is important. It’s at home. It’s an AFC game. It’s following a bye week. “You never want to start talking playoffs too early in the thick in things, but every game is so critical to that future success and trying to win the division,” Campbell said. “This is a very important game for us for many reasons.” The Bengals (3-4) and Jaguars (4-3) believe they have to start stacking wins if they’re going to be postseason contenders in the AFC. Jacksonville hasn’t won consecutive games in more than a year and followed three 20-plus-point victories this season with letdown losses. The next chance comes against the Bengals, who are beginning a three-game road stretch that could go a long way toward determining whether or not they will be in postseason contention. Cincinnati has won three of four since an 0-3 start, with impressive wins against Cleveland and Buffalo, a lopsided loss at Pittsburgh and a nail-biter against Indianapolis. “Everyone talks about the Pittsburgh game, but in our last four, we are 3-1,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. “So we’re trying to be 4-1 at this point. All we can do is worry about what we do this week and keep trying to stack wins on top of each other.” The Bengals could have their hands full with Jacksonville’s defensive front, which leads the league with 33 sacks. Cincinnati fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese after a 0-2 start in which they failed to score a touchdown and elevated Bill Lazor. The offense got a little better, but it managed just one first down and 19 yards in the second half against the Steelers. And Dalton was under constant pressure against the Colts last week. Now, the Jaguars get a shot at Cincy’s rebuilt offensive line, which has allowed 22 sacks. Jacksonville has two games with 10 sacks this season and another with five turnovers. The team traded for two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcell Dareus last week, hoping he solidifies the unit’s shaky run defense and provides another defender who can wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. Dareus has 35 career sacks in seven seasons with Buffalo. “They’re doing a little bit of everything,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “They’re doing a great job when they straight rush you. They’re doing a great job (limiting) gains. … They’re doing a lot of good things, and they’re all fitting together well.” Here are some other things to know about the Bengals and Jaguars: GETTING HEALTHY: The Jaguars expect running back Leonard Fournette (ankle), left tackle Cam Robinson (ankle) and center Brandon Linder (illness) to return from injuries. Fournette sat out the team’s last game at Indianapolis and got extra time to heal. Jacksonville also could get rookie receiver Dede Westbrook on the field for the first time this season. Westbrook, a fourth-round draft pick who led the NFL in receiving in the preseason, had core muscle surgery in September. RUNNING ON EMPTY: Cincinnati’s inexperienced offensive line has struggled to protect Dalton and open holes for the running game.

White Falcons top Buffalo, 20-19 in OT By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com BUFFALO, W.Va. — Wahama’s season came down to one final play and the White Falcon defense came through to cap 2017 off in style. The Wahama football team stopped non-conference host Buffalo on a two-point conversion try in overtime on Friday night in Putnam County, sealing the White Falcons’ 20-19 victory in the season finale for both teams. With the win, Wahama (5-5) — which was coming off a bye week — will finish the regular season with a win for the first time since 2013, snapping a three-year skid against the Bison (2-8). “It’s a real exciting way to end a season that we started off pretty slow,” Wahama head coach Dave Barr said. “We rebounded, got hot and played really well down the stretch. I’m real proud of them for the way they finished this year. It’s a credit to them for continuing to come out every week and work hard and perfect what they were doing.” “The long break sometimes can work against you,” Barr added. “We did what we had to do tonight and man, they played hard tonight. All game, they played hard.” The hosts led initially in the game, as senior quarterback Ethan Burgess capped off a sevenplay, 69-yard drive with a two-yard scoring run. Burgess also kicked in the point-after, giving the Bison a 7-0 lead just 5:57 into play. Wahama answered on its first drive of the second quarter, as a one-yard touchdown run by Christian Thomas punctuated an eight-play, 70-yard drive. Christopher Hesson added the point-after kick, tying the game at seven with 10:53 left in the first half. The White Falcons took their first lead on their next drive, going 67-yards in 11 plays with Thomas scoring on a 14-yard run. The pointafter kick was missed, however, leaving the Wahama lead at 13-7 with 2:07 remaining in the half. Buffalo made it into White Falcon territory on the ensuing drive, but fumbled the ball away on the 10th play, with just 13 seconds left in the half. The Red and White committed their lone turnover of the game on the first possession of the second half, fumbling the ball away on the BHS 48. The turnover proved costly, as the Bison covered 52-yards in seven plays, with Burgess delivering a touchdown pass to Chance Jones from 22 yards out. The White Falcons blocked the pointafter kick, leaving the score tied at 13 with 5:30 remaining in the third period. Wahama didn’t advance beyond the Wahama’s Johnnie Board (15) and Jacob Fisher (64) hit Bison senior quarterback Ethan Burgess (2), causing an incomplete pass on the BHS two-point conversion try in overtime of the White Falcons’ 20-19 victory on Friday in Buffalo, W.Va. BHS 27-yard line in the second half, losing possession on downs twice, while punting once. The Red and White defense didn’t allow the Bison to run an offensive play from the red zone in the second half. The White Falcons had possession first in overtime, and Thomas started off the extra football with a six-yard run. After just making it back to the line of scrimmage on second down, WHS senior Colton Arrington broke a nine-yard run to give the guests a fresh set of downs from the BHS five. A run apiece by Thomas and Arrington moved the ball to the BHS oneyard line for third down. On the third down play, senior Johnnie Board took his first carry of the night across the goal line for six points. Hesson added the point-after, giving the guests a 20-13 edge. “It was a little bit of a trick play we had in there,” Barr said of the go-ahead touchdown. “Honestly, our linemen were asking for it, and it was a great call. They went out and executed See FALCONS | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, November 5, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Owls outlast Thundering Herd, 30-25 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BOCA RATON, Fla. — The turnover bug bit them again. Marshall committed four turnovers that resulted in 16 Florida Atlantic points, allowing the hosts to earn their firstever victory over MU on Friday night during a 30-25 decision in a Conference USA East Division contest at FAU Stadium in the Sunshine State. The Thundering Herd (6-3, 3-2 CUSA) dropped their second straight decision and are now minus-7 in turnover differential over that span, as the guests had four Chase Litton passes picked off in a game that the Green and White never led. The Owls (6-3, 5-0), on the other hand, are sitting alone atop the league standings after producing their fifth straight victory and their seventh straight contest with 30-ormore points. FAU started its up-tempo attack on the opening possession of the game after covering 74 yards in 16 plays, with Jason Driskel capping things with a 2-yard touchdown run at the 9:50 mark for a 7-0 edge. Jalen Young picked off a Chase Litton pass on the ensuing MU drive and returned it to the hosts 19-yard line, then Willie Wright scampered that distance on the next play as the Owls secured a 13-0 cushion with 6:32 left in the first quarter. The Herd followed with a 13-play, 61-yard drive that went into the early moments of the second quarter, but Kaare Vedvik missed a 31-yard field goal with 14:16 left in the half. Vedvik redeemed himself on Marshall’s next possession after converting a 28-yard field goal, capping an 8-play, 44-yard drive at the 7:09 mark for a 13-3 deficit. Marshall forced a punt on the next possession, but took the ball over at its own two with 5:11 remaining in the half. The Dragons From page 1B worst defeat of the entire fall. And, Cameron almost got to 50 in the first half —and would have had it not had three extrapoint kicks get blocked.

Herd put together an 11-play, 55-yard drive that ultimately ended when Shelton Lewis picked off a Litton pass at the FAU 22. The Owls got a huge 66-yard run from Devin Singletary on third-and-8, then Greg Joseph converted a 31-yard field goal with three seconds left that gave the hosts a 16-3 edge at the break. Marshall claimed a slim 11-10 edge in first downs in the first half, but the Green and White was minus-2 in turnover differential and also had five penalties for 32 yards. FAU, conversely, scored 10 points on takeaways and had just one flag for five yards. The Owls held a small 209-202 edge in total yards of offense, but FAU was substantially better on the ground with a 145 rushing yards on 26 carries. MU produced only 50 rushing yards on 18 totes. Marshall took its first possession of the second half and marched right down the field, covering 75 yards in seven plays. Ryan Yurachek hauled in a 5-yard TD pass from Litton on second-and-goal, allowing the guests to close to within 16-10 with 12:10 left in the third period. The Herd followed with an onside-kick that Vedvik recovered himself, allowing Marshall to again have possession at its own 46. The guests strung together a 9-play, 54-yard scoring drive that ended with a 1-yard TD run from Keion Davis. Vedvik, however, missed the PAT — which led to a 16-all tie with 7:27 remaining in the third canto. Both teams traded punts, with the Owls taking over possession at their own six following a booming 59-yard punt by Vedvik — his first of only two punts in the contest. Florida Atlantic, however, answered with some creativity as wide receiver Kamrin Solomon found Singletary on a 60-yard TD pass with 2:25 remaining in the third. The wide-receiver pass capped a 3-play, 94-yard drive that gave the hosts a 23-16 advantage headed into the fourth. MU forced a punt at the beginning of the fourth, but Litton threw his third interception on the following snap as Young came away with his second pick — giving FAU possession at its own 41. Six plays and 41 yards later, the Owls had a two-possession cushion following a 13-yard scamper by Singletary on third- have hung Hannan for 70. Before Brown took his knees, he burned the Wildcats with his arm and his legs. The six-foot, four-inch 200pound senior signal-caller completed six touchdown passes —all of which went for at least 21 yards. He only threw three incompletions on 15 attempts, and racked up 249 passing yards. With 6:49 remaining in the second stanza, he sprinted 34 yards for a touchdown on his only rush to make it 33-0. Travis Mickey made five receptions for 92 yards, while Andrew Ritchea caught three balls for 68 and Robert Milliken two for 62. Mickey and Ritchea recorded two receiving TDs, while Milliken made the first with Trey Scott hauling in the other from 24 yards away. Wyatt Wingrove, who ran in the two-point conversion on the opening score, later kicked three extra points. Ritchea, in rushing for 158 yards on a dozen tries, easily outgained the Wildcats (132) by himself. His 70-yard scamper made it 40-0 with three-and-a-half minutes left before halftime. His only carry of the second half, part of only six plays from scrimmage for Cameron in the final 16 minutes, was a 55-yard dart to the 5-yard line to set up Neely’s two totes. The Dragons doubled up the Wildcats in first downs 16-8, had 200 more passing yards (249-49), and amassed 446 total yards on 30 plays from scrimmage. The 10 penalties for 105 yards were no worry either. That’s because they answered each Hannan first-half possession —which included a three-and-out and seven-yard punt, an interception, a fumble and four turnovers on downs —with five Brown touchdown tosses and the scoring runs by Brown and Ritchea. Scott returned the opening second-half kickoff 82 yards to make it 53-0, as two more Wildcat drives ending on turnovers on downs were answered with a pair of three-play scores by the Dragons. Brown’s second 28-yard touchdown completion, with 3:16 in the third, made it 59-0. His other four scoring aerials went for 21, 23, 24 and finally to run,” defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said. “They’re going From page 1B to stay the course on the running game.

Rio Grande (14-1-1, 8-0-1 RSC) had junior midfielder Eduardo Zurita take home two individual awards as the RSC Player of the Year overall and also the RSC Offensive Player of the Year. A native of Sant Boi De Llobregat, Spain, Zurita has a team-high 12 goals and 28 points to rank among the conference leaders. He also notched four assists. Rio Grande also had the RSC Defensive Player of the Year with senior defender Jorge Guinovart, a native of Barcelona, Spain. Last year’s RSC Men’s Soccer Player of the Year and RSC Male Athlete of the Year, he came back from an injury earlier in this year to anchor a RedStorm defense that has given up just 14 goals in 16 games. Courtesy photos Rio Grande’s Eduardo Zurita (left) was named the River States Conference Offensive Player of the Year and the overall Player of the Year, while Jorge Guinovart (right) was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year on Friday night. Rio Grande’s Scott Morrissey has claimed another RSC Coach of the Year honor this year by leading his team to an unbeaten conference regular season. In his 29th season, Morrissey has led the RedStorm to a top-5 NAIA ranking all season long, the NAIA runner-up position last year and the NAIA national championship in 2015. RSC Newcomer of the Year honors went to IU East’s Dumi Kunwenda, a sophomore defender from Malawi. He is a transfer from LSU-Alexandria who started 17 games for the first-year Red Wolves, and he earned the honor as the top vote-getter in the all-conference selections who is new to the conference. Fourteen players were named to the All-RSC first team and 14 to the All-RSC second team through balloting of the league’s coaches. A Champions of Character Team was also selected. Rio Grande led the list of First Team honorees with five players selected. Joining Zurita and Guinovart on the first team were sophomore defender James Williamson (San Jose, Costa Rica) and junior forwards Spencer Reinford (McAlisterville, PA) and Omar Walcott (Kingston, Jamaica). Midway (Ky.) University, which finished second in the conference standings, was next with three players on the first team led by defender Harry Kirwan, midfielder Brad Wilson and goalkeeper Christian Neira. Asbury (Ky.) University and Point Park (Pa.) University had two players each on the first team with the Eagles represented by defender Austin Baker and midfielder Ryan Metcalf and the Pioneers having their two forwards Alan Ramos and Roberto Whitley named. WVU Tech and Cincinnati Christian had one player each on the first team with midfielder Francisco Neto (WVU Tech) and goalkeeper Bryan McDowell (CCU), respectively. WVU Tech led the way on the second team with four selections. The other 10 second-teamers came from six different teams with Rio Grande, Midway, Point Park and IU East with two each and one each from Asbury and Cincinnati Christian. Rio Grande’s second team selections were sophomore midfielder Deri Corfe (Chester, England) and junior midfielder Harry Reilly (Coventry, England). The RSC Men’s Soccer Champions of Character Team selected one player from each school who best exemplifies the five core character values of the NAIA’s Champions of Character Initiative, which are respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship. Williamson was Rio’s Champions of Character honoree. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. Cavaliers top Wizards on the road, 130-122 WASHINGTON (AP) — Look out, NBA. Walking to the locker room after scoring 57 points Friday night, LeBron James expressed what amounted to a warning for upcoming opponents: “This is the best I’m feeling in my career.” Just in case there were any questions about Eastern Conference supremacy, James poured in the second-highest point total of his career and an NBAbest this season to help his Cleveland Cavaliers end a four-game losing skid by beating the Washington Wizards 130-122 on Friday night. “Every shot that I took,” the four-time league MVP said, “I felt like it was going in.” He hadn’t scored this much since getting a career-high 61 for the Miami Heat on March 3, 2014, against the Charlotte Hornets. And James did it efficiently against Washington, making 23 of 34 field-goal tries and all nine free throws, adding 11 rebounds and seven assists. “He still has it, if you guys didn’t know that,” Wizards coach Scott Brooks said. “We knew that.” Perhaps. But neither Brooks nor his players could find a way to slow James. Several Wizards tried to — including AllStar point guard John Wall, even after he hurt his left shoulder so badly that he was wearing black sling in the locker room. “It’s on fire right now,” Wall said about his shoul- der, which he hurt on a collision with Channing Frye. “It was like my arm went dead.” Wall stayed in the game and had X-rays afterward but won’t get results until Saturday. At 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds, Wall never really stood much of a chance against James, who is listed at 6-8, 250, especially in the low post. “Whenever you’re hitting tough, hand-in-yourface turnaround fadeaways from off the left and the right shoulder, it’s your night,” Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. said about James. “He was on a different level tonight.” Certainly was. And did it with style at both ends of the floor, too. VOTE YES “ for ” PROGRESS The Current Office houses a max of 5 inmates per day with all others being transferred out.

Horrid hardly scratches the surface. Miserable doesn’t tell the whole story. Embarrassing? At so many levels. The Cleveland Browns are a complete calamity. One of the NFL’s most storied franchises has fallen so far, and the team appears so disconnected and constrained by dysfunction, that the Browns almost defy description. For the second straight year they’ve reached the midway point of the season 0-8. They’re now 1-23 under coach Hue Jackson and a numberscrunching front office led by Sashi Brown, whose decision to tear down a roster to its foundation has to this point proven foolish. The three- or four- or five-year plan — the club has never publicly explained its long-term game plan— isn’t working and more change seems inevitable despite vows by owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam to be patient during a painstaking rebuilding process. “I think we know where we are headed,” Jackson said this week, trying to put a positive spin on a negative situation. The truth is, the Browns remain critically broken, damaged goods. They’re 88-208 since their 1999 expansion return, with a single playoff appearance that seems light years ago. They’re 19-63 since the Haslam’s $1.05 billion purchase was approved by the NFL in 2012. A minor-league franchise in a majorleague world. But even by their low standards, this week — the Browns’ bye week — presented another stage of clumsiness and chaos for Cleveland’s woebegone franchise. Fittingly, the shocking scenario unfolded on Halloween. With the Browns’ perpetual search for a long-term quarterback — they’ve started 28 QBs since ‘99 — stalled, they were undone by a paperwork glitch that perhaps illustrates the team’s desperation to win, and a divide between Jackson, his staff and the team’s decision makers. One day after New England traded Jimmy Garoppolo, Tom Brady’s backup and a quarterback Jackson had coveted for months, to San Francisco for a second-round pick, the Browns, who had previous talks with the Patriots and are armed with three secondround picks in 2018, bungled a deal with Cincinnati just before Tuesday’s deadline. The Browns reached agreement on a trade for Bengals backup AJ McCarron, sending one of their AFC North rivals a second- and third-round pick in next year’s draft. But the clubs failed to file the appropriate documentation to the league office before the David Richard | AP file Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, left, and head coach Hue Jackson have reached the midway point of the season at 0-8 for the second straight year. They’re now 1-23 under Jackson and an analytics-reliant front office, whose decision to tear a roster down to its foundation has proven not only to be a failure but foolish. 4 p.m. deadline and the transaction was nullified. In the aftermath, the Bengals insisted they followed standard procedure, while the Browns, who have executed 17 trades since April 2016, declined comment as they entered their week off. So while the winless 49ers may have found their franchise quarterback, the Browns stood pat. Only the Browns lose in their bye week. Orange helmets, red faces. And whether or not they were solely culpable in the McCarron affair because of their dubious track record of busted draft picks and constant upheaval, the Browns aren’t getting the benefit of the doubt in the court of public opinion. They haven’t earned it. Two decades of losing football has destroyed any good will while eroding a passionate fan base and making them a national laughingstock. The deadline fiasco also seems to show that Cleveland’s building is split on its present and future. One of the major goals this season was to develop rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer. But perhaps feeling pressure to show the Haslams he can win with an inexperienced team, Jackson has benched the second-round pick three times in the past four weeks. McCarron played for Jackson while he was Cincinnati’s offensive coordinator and might have been able to win a game or two over the final eight weeks. But while Jackson fights for his job, Brown, Paul DePodesta and the rest of Cleveland’s analyticsfriendly front office can’t hide from monstrous misses in the draft. They’ve ignored addressing their quarterback conundrum to hoard assets they’ve yet to use wisely. In 2016, the Browns traded the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia, which used it to select quarterback Carson Wentz, who has thrown 19 TD passes this season, has the Eagles at 7-1 and could be the clubhouse leader for league’s MVP. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, November 5, 2017 5B Ashley inducted into WVSU HOF By Dave Harris He also holds the WVSU career punting record with a career averINSTITUTE, W.Va. — age of 41.5 yards a kick.

Keep the train rolling: Astros could be back for more titles HOUSTON (AP) — It’s not just one World Series title that has Houston excited. With Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, George Springer and more locked in for years to come, the Astros are ready to be a force for some time. Houston’s plan to endure a difficult rebuild has put the team in a great position moving forward. No player in Houston’s starting lineup for Game 7 of the World Series will be free agent earlier than 2019. Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel are under team control until 2023, and All-Star shortstop Correa can’t hit free agency until 2022. Springer, the World Series MVP, is under control through 2021, and promising young starter Lance McCullers Jr. is under team control until 2022. Altuve has team-friendly club options for the next two seasons that will keep him in town through 2019 at least. While everyone else is chasing high-priced free agents, Houston should be set, especially after acquiring ace Justin Verlander on Aug. 31 from the Detroit Tigers. Verlander is owed $56 million over the next two seasons combined before possibly becoming a free agent. All of that was made possible by patience from owner Jim Crane and general manager Jeff Luhnow. The Astros were the laughingstock of baseball after trading away their veter- ans to shed payroll, losing 100 games every year from 201113, including a franchise-worst 51-111 mark in 2013. With the losing came a bevy of high draft picks, and Houston hit big on a few of them. In Luhnow’s first draft in 2012, Houston took Correa with the first overall pick and nabbed McCullers at 41st overall. Then in 2015, they grabbed Bregman with the second overall pick. They weren’t without their misses. Most notably Mark Appel, who they famously drafted first overall in 2013. The right-hander never played for the Astros and was eventually traded, while Kris Bryant, who Houston passed on to take Appel, won National League MVP and helped the Cubs win the World Series last season. Only four players on the World Series team were around for any of the 100-loss seasons, and Altuve was the only one with Houston for all three. “It’s a crazy journey, man,” Altuve said. “I was the only one in 2011, ‘12 and ‘13, those 100 losses, three years in a row. It’s not easy. But I … believed in the process. I believed in what Jeff Luhnow and Jim Crane used to (say) to me: ‘Hey, we’re going to be good. We’re going to be good.’” Altuve said their encouragement and seeing the pieces slowly come together helped get him through the difficult times. SUNDAY EVENING BROADCAST Thompson’s injury another blow for struggling Cavaliers CLEVELAND (AP) — The worst four-game stretch of LeBron James’ career and a shocking start for the Cavaliers got a little worse Thursday. Forward Tristan Thompson could be out a month with a strained left calf. One of Cleveland’s most dependable players over the past few years, Thompson was injured in the second quarter Wednesday night in a loss to the Indiana Pacers. Thompson, who has been moved out and in of the starting lineup by coach Tyronn Lue, left Quicken Loans Arena using crutches. The team said an MRI confirmed the strain and that he’ll need as much as four weeks to recover before he plays again. Thompson’s injury is the latest setback for the Cavs, who have dropped four straight and are 3-5, not where a team expected to make it to its fourth NBA Finals figured to be at this point. But injuries, new players, an older roster and defensive lapses have contributed to make the three-time defending Eastern Conference champions one of the early season’s surprises — for the wrong reasons. Cleveland has lost the past four games by a combined 64 points, the most lopsided four-game span for James since he lost four in a row during his rookie season. But that’s when he was virtually alone on a Cleveland team, not one with All-Stars like Kevin Love, Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose.

Journeyman Brian Hoyer got the gig, lasted just over six losses, and thirdround pick C.J. Beathard was elevated. This week, San Francisco made a bold move by dealing a 2018 second-round selection that could be quite valuable to New England for the unproven but highly regarded Jimmy Garappolo. “An unbelievable opportunity came our way in the midst of what has really been a tough season,” said GM John Lynch, himself something of a reach as a hire because he had gone from player to broadcaster and lacked front-office experience. “Where we are right now is not fun. … “Is that going to fix all our ills? Absolutely not. We had the opportunity to get better as an organization and we took advantage of that.” So much more is needed. The draft has been a wasteland for the 49ers. Former GM Trent Baalke’s refusal to draft skill position players — from 2013-16 the only skilled position choices in the first three rounds were RB Carlos Hyde and TE Vance McDonald — was damaging. Since 2012, the only draftee to make a Pro Bowl has been safety Eric Reid. That was four years ago. This year’s debacle under Shanahan Check out our &ODVVLÀ�HGV� for bargains!

They need to mature, as a bunch of close losses displays. Compared to the Browns, though, the 49ers are an oasis. Cleveland has opened 0-8 for the second straight season. It’s not unprecedented — the Buccaneers lost their first 26, but they were an expansion team. So were the Browns, back in 1999. Their record since is 88-208. They made the playoffs once, in 2002, and made a quick exit. Unlike the 49ers’ history in the Super Bowl era, the Browns have nothing to brag about since the originals moved to Baltimore and NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue made sure Cleveland got another franchise. No coach has a winning record for the “new Browns.” The best was Butch Davis at 24-36. Hue Jackson certainly doesn’t come close, currently at 1-23. Considering Jackson went 8-8 in his one year as Raiders coach, also with a mess of a roster, maybe it isn’t him so much as the losing culture in Cleveland. This is another team that can’t solve its quarterbacking woes, but on a scale of 1 to 10, they have flopped at minus28 — the number of starters Cleveland has had behind center.
