Republican candidates Donald J. Trump, President; Rob Portman, U.S. Senate; Bill Johnson, 6th District House of Representatives; Frank Hoagland, 30th Senate District; Jay Edwards, 94th District House of Representatives; and Ryan Smith, 93rd District House of Representatives; will represent the area. With all of Ohio’s 8,887 precincts now reporting, results remain unofficial until the official vote counts are held in each county later this month, although many of the results from Tuesday are by a wide enough margin that the outcome is unlikely to be impacted by any changes in the official count. Donald J. Trump, as of mid-day Wednesday, has a 52.05 percent to 43.51 percent advantage over Hillary Clinton as he has won Ohio. Trump’s vote total surpassed 2.7 million, while Clinton received slightly more than 2.3 million Voters reject Alexander Local Schools levy votes. In Meigs County, Trump received 73 percent of the vote (6,869 votes). In Gallia County, Trump received 76 percent of the vote (9,567 votes). Clinton won seven counties in Ohio, including the counties which include “the 3 Cs.” Clinton’s victories came in Athens, Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Franklin, Mahoning, Summit and Lucas counties. Trump claimed victory in the remainder of the state. Trump’s victory was part of a more widespread Republican victory in Ohio on Tuesday. Incumbent United State Senator Rob Portman easily defeated former-Governor Ted Strickland for the senate seat. Portman received 58.32 percent of the vote (3,048,467 votes), to 36.92 percent for Strickland. Portman won 84 of Ohio’s 88 counties, with Strickland claiming victory in only four counties — Athens, Cuyahoga, Franklin and Lucas counties. Both Meigs and Gallia counties supported Portman’s reelection bid. Portman received 68.24 percent of the vote in Gallia County and 67.37 percent of the vote in Meigs County. Like Portman, Representa- tive Bill Johnson also earned reelection. Johnson won each of the 18 counties in the 6th District en route to reelection. Districtwide, Johnson received 70.64 percent of the vote (240,036 votes) defeating challenger, Michael L. Lorentz (D) who received 86,938 votes. Johnson received 74.33 percent of the vote in Meigs County (6,647 votes). In Gallia County, Johnson received 77.89 percent of the vote (9,149 votes).

Member SIPC. �BUSINESS Daily Sentinel URG students rank first in international competition Thursday, November 10, 2016 3 Pizza Hut Express ribbon cutting By Jessica Patterson Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College seniors in the Emerson E. Evans School of Business are required to participate in the international Business Strategy Game as part of their capstone course. During the fifth week of the game, business management majors Merle Johnson and Lucas Befi became the first students from Rio to tie other teams from around the world for the first place ranking. The game requires students to manage a mock manufacturing company by making decisions using skills they have learned in their classes. Each of the 10 weeks of competition represents one year of business. Business professor Roger Watson said he is excited his students are working hard on the project. “This is the first time in the history of Rio Grande we’ve had students rank first. We’ve had students rank as high as seventh and fourth, but to see them rank first is a huge honor for the program,” Watson said. “This is their capstone course and all of my students have put countless hours of work into these projects. It involves not only an understanding and calculation of numbers, but the ability to analyze and interpret those numbers and the dynamics of business in the economy. In addition to their first place ranking, Johnson and Befi also received the highest possible score of a 110. Watson said he is proud of his students for being able to keep up a global scale. “It’s important to remember these rankings are to see how the students compare with others around the world. The real competition is within the class here at Rio,” Watson said. “Ranking in the top 100 is a huge achievement, and a first place ranking is even more rare. This shows Rio business students can successfully compete in a broader scale.” Befi, of São Paulo, Brazil, said he has enjoyed taking part in the games and working with his classmate. “This project has been a great experience for me. I’ve enjoyed working with Merle on this and I’m learning a lot from our teamwork,” Befi said. “It’s an honor to rank first and I’m grateful for the accomplishment.” Johnson, of McArthur, said he was excited about the accomplishment and hopes to continue scoring high for the remainder of the games. “I’m extremely happy about the ranking. I’ve always had a competitive nature, so this means a lot to me,” Johnson said. “It’s time consuming, but the game gives us a realistic idea of what to expect in the real-world business environment, so I really appreciate the experience.” Students from the class have ranked in the top 100 of the competition for 19 of the past 21 semesters. Watson said he takes the semester without a ranking as praise for the class as a whole. “This ranking and our students’ ability to make the top 100 shows the caliber of the students and their education here at Rio,” Watson said. “Even the two semesters we didn’t place, I took it as a complement because the students were doing so well in the classroom. No one could get ahead of the others because they were all fantastic.” The competition is run by publishing company McGraw-Hill. According to the company’s website, 54,082 students at 611 universities in 54 countries have participated in the competition in the last year. Jessica Patterson is a communications specialist with URG.

Since 2011, Governor and First Lady Tomblin have invited West Virginia artists of all ages to submit handmade ornaments for the tree in the mansion foyer, lovingly referred to as the Artistree. “The creative Artistree decorations delight our family and holiday guests each year, and we are so thankful for the hundreds of artists who have submitted ornaments throughout our time in the Governor’s Mansion,” First Lady Joanne Jaeger Tomblin said. “As a symbol of our holiday season, we think it is fitting that the Artistree share a place among the ornaments we have commissioned since 2010.” “The creative Artistree decorations delight our family and holiday guests each year, and we are so thankful for the hundreds of artists who have submitted ornaments throughout our time in the Governor’s Mansion.” — First Lady Joanne Photo courtesy of the Governor’s Mansion Jaeger Tomblin First Lady Tomblin and artist Shelley Goodman show off the 2016 In addition to the 2016 Governor’s Mansion holiday ornament, First Lady Tomblin today introduced an eight-piece, limited-edition gift set featuring all seven of the Governor’s Mansion holiday ornaments that she and Governor Tomblin have commissioned, including the 2013 Sesquicentennial ornament. “It has been a pleasure working with Shelley and Commissioner ReidSmith to commission these beautiful ornaments each year,” First Lady Tomblin said. “These beautiful ornaments are the perfect way to honor Shelley’s work, our state’s symbols and the holiday season as a whole.” Artist Shelley Goodman uses enamel paints to create detailed nature and floral paintings. Governor’s Mansion holiday ornament and eight-piece ornament gift set. Although her artistic touch is most often found in kitchenware, she has enjoyed the challenge of designing the Governor’s Mansion holiday ornaments each year. Her works, titled “Designs by Shelley,” are sold at Tamarack in Beckley and at a number of West Virginia’s fairs and festivals across the state. Goodman also designed the 2010-2015 holiday ornaments, as well as the official West Virginia Sesquicentennial ornament. Funding support for the 2016 Governor’s Mansion ornament and the eight-piece ornament gift set was provided by the West Virginia Division of Culture and History. In addition, Dunbar artist Steve Cassle’s drawing of the Governor’s Mansion is featured on the ornament card. This year’s ornament and eight-piece ornament gift set are both available for purchase at the West Virginia State Museum Shop at the Culture Center in Charleston, at Tamarack in Beckley, or online at www. tamarackwv.com. The ornament also will be available at the gift shops at West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling and Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex in Moundsville. The 2016 ornament sells for $24, and the eight-piece box set is $150. A portion of each sale will be donated to the West Virginia Governor’s Mansion Preservation Fund to help preserve the mansion for future generations. PVH employee of the month Staff Report Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH) announces the Customer Service Employee of the Month for October is Tonya Shobe in Human Resources. Shobe began her career with Pleasant Valley Hospital in September 2002, and moved to a Human Resources Representative in April 2012. Shobe was nominated because an employee was leaving the hospital and dropped her prescription medication out of her purse in the parking lot on a Friday evening. She had no idea she had even dropped anything. A half hour or so after the employee got home from work, she heard a knock at her door and looked up to see Shobe standing there.

Also pictured, Jenny Overcash, director of human resources, and Glen Washington, She went to the door and Shobe handed her the prescription medicine, still in the bag unopened. Shobe said she discovered them laying on the ground and thought she might need them before Monday. In this recognition, she received a $50 check and a VIP parking space.

Anyone out there? Is it safe to come out now? Can I switch on the TV without hearing someone slandered? Do I still have to cover the children’s ears to protect them from salacious debates? Please tell me it’s over. I emerge from my cave to find democracy in tatters and numb figures stumbling along the boulevards. The ignorant armies have clashed by night and now we must make sense of it. The talk of groping may be over but the groping for meaning is just beginning. What an ordeal. For months my fevered mind cringed at the spectacle of the titanic battle between the rotten liars on one side and the rotten liars on the other. If I hear the word email once more I may explode. At night, supposedly safe in bed, no rest came for the weary. Once the light was switched off, the phantoms appeared. Who was that woman in the pants suit anyway? Who was that man wearing a helmet of hair? They shrieked and rattled their chains. I could only shriek in my fitful slumbers. What is that I hear now? Cheering? I do believe it is cheering and celebration! One party is happy in the land of the highly depressed. Hurrah for our side, they shout, disturbing the vultures picking over the carcasses of good intentions. How about a hurrah for the rest of us, the poor survivors? Now another sound is on the wind, this one very distant, a muffled roar, coming over the seas from faraway. Are they English voices? Yes, by golly. “Good old Yanks, eh? Their process managed to be just as embarrassing as ours with our silly Brexit vote. Yes, they took the heat off us, old boy, which was dashed sporting of them.” At this, nausea overcomes me and I am forced to seek the convenience of a trashcan full of election-related propaganda. I look up and see figures in archaic clothing moving through the rubble. They are the Founding Fathers. Do I wake or sleep? Perhaps I have lost my hold on reality — there has been a lot of that going around lately. Yet here is George Washington and he looks real enough. “I warned them,” I hear the great man say, “it is in my farewell address. I warned them of the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party. Factions agitate the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindling the animosity of one part against the other. I told them but they did not listen.” “You are right, Mr. President,” says a wry looking fellow who turns out to be Benjamin Franklin. “Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days but election campaigns begin to smell like a fish market after just three months.” As they disappear into the smoke, another familiar figure emerges. Why, it is Winston Churchill. What is he doing here? Haven’t we had enough superior English people commenting on our sorrows for one day? But he has an announcement: “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried.” Really, Winston? You came here to tell us that after what we have been through? This is supposed to make us feel better? Suddenly, all is bathed in an extraordinary bright light. A great multitude is gathered around a magnificent figure whose face of shining radiance I cannot look upon. Surely one so wonderful must be Donald Trump. No, it is the Lord Almighty. I repent of confusing the two but it’s an easy enough mistake to make. Cherubim, seraphim, spin doctors, advisers, all the same really, Why, Chris Christie looks like a cherub with his little wings vibrating above the George Washington Bridge. The Lord speaks in majestic voice, sounding a bit like Churchill but perhaps that’s because I have lately become a member of the Anglican faith. “Knowest this,” the Lord is saying, “American exceptionalism, which hath bathed this land in divine grace for generations, is hereby ended. Enough is enough already.” This is terrible. All I can do is search in the gloom for my sense of humor, essential for surviving the next four years. A street cleaner comes by, picking up the piles of broken promises. “Do you know who won?” he asks. “Beats me,” I say, “I have been living in a cave, just as my readers have long suspected. And what does it matter? What good can possibly come from this horrible election campaign?” Reg Henry is a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist. Readers may email him at rhenry@post-gazette.com. THEIR VIEW Voters rejected broken legacy of Clinton, Obama By Jim DeMint Contributing Columnist Donald Trump’s victory was a defeat for the political establishment and its allies in the mainstream media. More importantly, it was an affirmation of conservative ideas. Hillary Clinton ran a personality-driven campaign, more against her opponent than for a coherent set of policies. But voters had serious concerns: illegal immigration, trade, taxes, jobs, healthcare, gun rights, national debt, and many others. In each case, a branch of our government had either exceeded its constitutional authority, or refused to exercise its constitutional duties — and voters were fed up. Thus, the anger directed at Washington was more than the sum of its parts. It was expressed through a sweeping disdain for those at the levers of power—and many of the levers themselves. It was also directed against those in the media who oil the federal machine, people who have seemingly sacrificed non-partisanship to be an entertainment arm of the elite. Americans sensed they were no longer getting the information they needed from their television screen — their screen was inserting the information it needed in them. So they turned it off. In short, this movement was an equal and opposite reaction to a government and ruling class that had forsaken its limits. And just when they needed something different, Hillary offered them more of the same: more foreign failures, more illegal immigration, more spending, more government control of healthcare and education, and more disdain for the concerns of regular folks. Donald Trump won because he promised to secure the border, repeal Obamacare, rebuild our military, provide tax and regulatory relief, and appoint judges who respect the Constitution. These are conservative policies that Americans had been demanding for years — only to be called bigots and rubes by their elected leaders and talking heads. Although many found Trump’s campaign divisive, he spoke to the priorities and needs of a people too long ignored by Washington. Those who hadn’t voted in years, or hadn’t ever thought of voting for a Republican, were willing to give a chance to the outsider who could shake things up. Conservatives should welcome these newcomers, whether Bernie Sanders supporters who couldn’t take the cloud of Clinton corruption, or libertarians who wanted to throw Trump like a hand grenade at the status quo, or first-time voters. Together, we can work together to improve the lives of all Americans. It’s the duty of all Americans to keep an eye on their leaders, demanding they abide by the Constitution and respect the separation of powers. Voters rejected the broken legacy of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on precisely those grounds. For my organization, The Heritage Foundation, this is a trust-butverify administration and a no-excuses Congress. We will work with both to make good on their conservative policy promises and remind congressional Republicans of the fact that, since they now control the House, Senate, and the White House, there is no longer any excuse for not implementing reforms they’ve long promised the American people. Congress cannot afford to continue business-as-usual after such a stern rebuke. On Day One of his administration, Donald Trump can nominate a Supreme Court justice who respects the Constitution. He can also immediately revoke all of Barack Obama’s terrible executive orders and “guidances” that restrict personal and individual liberties. And if congressional leadership keeps its promise, a full repeal of the unfair, unworkable Obamacare disaster can be on Donald Trump’s desk on Inauguration Day, ready to sign. It will be a challenge to hold our government to high standards, but nothing could be more challenging than the last eight years. At long last, conservative policies have an opportunity to make America great again. Jim DeMint is the president of The Heritage Foundation (heritage.org) and a former U.S. senator. THEIR VIEW A better path forward for our nation’s veterans By Jennifer Silva Contributing Columnist Our nation’s warriors have always supported and protected us — and many have made major sacrifices along the way. But are we doing the same for them? When wounded warriors return home, they begin lifelong journeys toward recovery. New data from one of the largest surveys of this generation of wounded veterans shows that, as a nation, we are not doing enough to provide our veterans with the resources they need once they’re home. More than 31,000 injured post-9/11 veterans completed the Wounded Warrior Project 2016 Annual Warrior Survey. The report provides a snapshot of what many injured veterans deal with every day. It also serves as a baseline for what our next commander-in-chief will assume responsibility for upon taking the oath of office in January. Among the challenges veterans face, the survey shows, are finding the right career fit, improving mental and physical health, and connecting with others in their communities. The survey was completed by veterans registered with the Wounded Warrior Project, or WWP. Respondents who are no longer on active duty reported an unemployment rate of nearly 16 percent — three times the national unemployment rate. WWP’s Warriors to Work program is just one way to close that gap. The career counseling helps with resumes, interview preparation and networking. Along with the Department of Veterans Affairs and efforts in many states, this program helps connect employers with the valuable veteran workforce. That workforce is becoming more valuable through education. The survey shows three in 10 warriors have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. Nearly three in 10 reported continuing their education. Nearly half of survey respondents were considered obese on the body mass index scale. BMI measures body fat based on height and weight. A score of 30 or greater is considered obese. Weight issues can con- tribute to other health problems. This is why it is important to get warriors out of their homes, connecting with other warriors, while being physically active. More post-9/11 warriors turned to the VA for help, and the government agency responded. Seven in 10 warriors were covered through VA health insurance, and of them, nearly 68 percent used the VA for primary insurance. More than eight in 10 received VA disability benefits in 2016, a 6 percent increase over 2015. We must ensure this year’s improvement in disability coverage continues. Mental health care remains an issue for warriors. They are finding help but need more. Nearly seven in 10 surveyed warriors saw the VA as their top resource to address mental health concerns. Their nextmost-common resource was talking with another post-9/11 veteran. More than three in four surveyed warriors reported living with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. WWP is continuing its focus on mental health programs by hosting multi-day rehabilitative mental health workshops to connect warriors with coping tools and using its Warrior Care Network to treat injured veterans through intensive outpatient programs — reaching warriors wherever they live. Now is the time for our next commander in chief, the VA and veterans service organizations to optimize the way we work together to fill gaps in care. But these programs are just one small part of the bigger picture. As a country, we must implement programs and policies that address both the visible and invisible wounds of war. We have to create access to high-quality health care, designate a clear path to employment and support education opportunities for veterans. And, above all, we must commit to caring for our warriors not just while they serve, or when they first return home — but for a lifetime.

After a shaky performance in which it surrendered seven sacks in an early loss to Virginia Tech in 2014, Ohio State’s offensive line turned into a dominant group toward the end of the Buckeyes’ national championship season. Since allowing six sacks in an unexpected loss two weeks ago at Penn State, this year’s offensive line allowed one sack in a 24-20 win over Northwestern and didn’t not give up a sack in a 62-3 win over Nebraska last Saturday night. “Everything was just clicking on every cylinder on Saturday night,” OSU center Pat Elflein said about the win over Nebraska. Quarterback J.T. Barrett called the offensive line “the main thing” in the Buckeyes putting 62 points on the scoreboard. “When it was a pass I was able to distribute the ball. When I was running, they were driving those guys off the ball. When the offensive line plays like that, that’s when you have games like that,” he said. Like in 2014, this year’s offensive line came into the season with a majority of the starters in their first year in the lineup. In 2014, Taylor Decker was the only returning starter. This year, guard Billy Price and Elflein at center are the only returning starters. Left tackle Jamarco Jones, right tackle Isaiah Prince and freshman Michael Jordan at guard are all new. “We kind of dropped the ball a little bit. We had a rough game. That’s not who we are,” Jones, a junior from Chicago, said about the Penn State game. “We protect the quarterback and we run the ball. We take pride in that. We had to regroup and get ready for the next game (Northwestern) and the one last week (Nebraska).” “It was small things we were doing wrong that were fixable. It wasn’t like major things, it was small things but they all came out at one point. You don’t want that to happen. It’s kind of a good thing it happened because it came out early. Better early in the season than later,” he said. Jones arrived as a 4-star recruit but had to wait his turn to start. He says he made good use of his two years as a back-up. “I feel like I have a pretty good grasp. I felt See OSU | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, November 11 Football (14) North Marion at (3) Point Pleasant, 7:30 College Volleyball Rio Grande at KIAC Tournament at WVU-Tech, TBA Men’s College Basketball Rio Grande at Shepherd (CA),10 p.m. Saturday, November 12 College Football West Virginia at Texas, noon Ohio State at Maryland, 3:30 Middle Tennessee at Marshall, 7 p.m. College Volleyball Rio Grande vs. TBD in RSC Tournament, TBD Men’s College Soccer Rio Grande-Asbury winner vs. WVU-Tech/Brescia winner in RSC Final, 7 p.m. Men’s College Basketball Rio Grande at Vanguard (Calif.)

Southern leads way on TVC-Hocking volleyball By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com They say that two out of three isn’t bad. For the Southern Tornadoes, they took two out of three of the top honors — and tied Waterford with five selections apiece on the 2016 all-Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division volleyball list, which was announced on Monday. Southern shared the TVC Hocking championship with Waterford for the second consecutive season, as Trimble tied the two a year ago. The Tornadoes and Waterford won on each other’s home floor, thus giving them identical 15-1 conference records. Trimble and Eastern tied for third at 11-5, followed by fifth-place Federal Hocking at an even 8-8. South Gallia (5-11), Belpre (4-12), Miller (3-13) and Wahama (0-16) rounded out the TVC Hocking tallies. The Tornadoes’ top honors went to first-year mentor Kim Hupp for Coach of the Year — and to senior outside hitter/ defensive specialist Kamryn Smith for Defensive Player of the Year. Megan Ball, a junior middle hitter from Waterford, was the Offensive Player of the Year in the TVC Hocking. Joining Smith on the list from Southern were four other seniors — outside hitter/defensive specialist Amanda Cole, setter Marlee Maynard, and middle hitters Sierra Cleland and Faith Teaford. Maynard was the only Tornado to repeat to the all-league list from a year ago. Besides Ball, senior Jillian McCutcheon and juniors Allison Kern, Hannah Duff and Hayley Duff made the team from Waterford — with Ball, McCutcheon and Kern all repeating from last year. McCutcheon and Kern also made the all-league list from two years back (2014). Eastern’s trio of honorees are led by senior middle blocker Katlyn Barber, who also made the TVC Hocking team in both 2015 and 2014. The Eagles’ other selections were junior setter Morgan Baer and junior outside hitter Morgain Little. Trimble’s three picks were senior Alexa Shust, sophomore Taya Lackey and junior Sydney Hardy — as Shust was a repeat choice from a year ago. Federal Hocking, South Gallia, Belpre and Miller all had two selections apiece — with South Gallia’s being sophomore middle hitter Rachal Colburn and junior outside hitter Erin Evans. Federal Hocking had senior Miranda Scott and junior Paige Watkins, Belpre landed seniors Alexandria Williams and Trinidy King, and Miller managed juniors Ryleigh Newman and Lacey Alexander. Of those six, only King of Belpre repeated from last year. Wahama had one selection — junior setter Madison VanMeter. The all-TVC Hocking team and subsequent honors are chosen by the division’s coaches. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Hamlin ready for the playoff pressure at Phoenix CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It has not been an easy march through NASCAR’s playoffs for Denny Hamlin, who once again must race his way into the next round. Hamlin was on his own at Talladega Superspeedway, a track that requires help from other drivers to be successful. Hamlin’s teammates at Joe Gibbs Racing had too much to lose that day and rode around in the back of the pack. He needed a strong finish, and had to figure it out alone. Now he again goes into an elimination race with the pressure on to pull off a big finish. Carl Edwards is the only JGR driver who already has earned a berth in the championship race, and Hamlin is competing with teammates Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch for a spot in the final four. All three of the JGR drivers are within two points of each other in Chase standings. Busch is tied with Team Penske’s Joey Logano for the lead, with Kenseth one point behind them and Hamlin two behind. Hamlin finished third at Phoenix earlier this year. “Phoenix was a good track for us in the spring,” Hamlin said. “I look to go back there and have another great run and go out there and try to win. That’s what we’re going to do. Any time I’ve been below (the cut line) in an elimination race, I’ve found a way to get in (to the next round). “I like our chances. It’s a pressure race and I like pressure.” CREW CHIEF FINED Team Penske crew chief Todd Gordon has been fined $10,000 because a lug nut was not properly installed on Joey Logano’s car at Texas. The penalty was the only monetary fine issued by NASCAR on See NACAR | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Gilberry joins Bengals defense that eyes change CINCINNATI (AP) — The proof of change in the Bengals defense was right there on the field, a familiar face wearing his old number. End Wallace Gilberry got his No. 95 and worked out in the rain with the rest of the team Tuesday, the first move to try to fix the defense’s numerous shortcomings. More change is expected. The Bengals (3-4-1) re-signed Gilberry during their bye week. He left as a free agent after last season and played four games with Detroit before suffering an abdominal injury and getting released with a settlement. His return means fewer plays for one of the other defensive ends. Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther is looking at changing roles in other places to jump-start a unit that has slipped badly. “We’ve got the old band back together with Gilberry being back,” tackle Domata Peko said. “I’m excited where we are. We’re only one game back in our division. Everything’s right ahead of us.” Gilberry declined interviews through the team’s public relations staff Tuesday, unhappy with how his play last season was characterized. He had 23 tackles and two sacks in 2015, giving him 3 1/2 sacks in his last two seasons in Cincinnati. By signing a player who has missed half the season because of injury, the Bengals showed how much they’re determined to fix their biggest problem area. They’ve given up 400 yards in three of the last four games and rank 25th in the NFL in yards allowed. Their defensive stars have been subpar. Linemen Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, Peko and Michael Johnson combined for 34½ sacks last season; they’re on pace for 19 this season. Atkins had 11 sacks last season; he has only 3 1/2 this season. Dunlap is down from a career-high 13 1/2 to five. The defense was told that jobs are on the line. “Changes are going to come,” safety George Iloka said. “They always say the definition of a crazy man is someone who does the same thing on and on and expects to get different results. So of course they have to switch things up.” The Bengals tied Washington in London two weeks ago and then had their bye. They reconvened Tuesday and held their first practice, with the defense looking as though it got the message that jobs are at stake. Meigs Emma Ousley, both seniors, were Wellston’s two selections.

Like in 2014, Ohio NASCAR State knows it has no margin for error if it wants to get to the Big Ten championship game and possibly the College Football Playoff. The next step toward those goals will be a game at Maryland on Saturday. “Coach Meyer does a really good job of making sure we focus on each opponent.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. Washington takes over playoff position By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Washington moved into fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings, putting the four remaining unbeaten teams from the Power Five conferences at the top of the selection committee’s second top 25. Alabama, Clemson and Michigan still hold the top three spots. The committee’s first ranking of the season caused a bit of a stir because the unbeaten Huskies were behind Texas A&M last week. The Aggies then went out and lost at Mississippi State to clear up the minicontroversy. Ohio State is behind Washington at fifth. “It was a small margin between No. 4 and No. 5,” committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said. Hocutt, who is the athletic director at Texas Tech, said last week that A&M was ahead of Washington because of the Aggies’ superior schedule strength. That left open the possibility that Ohio State would jump the Huskies for the same reason after the Buckeyes pounded Nebraska on Saturday. Hocutt said a big difference was A&M’s only loss was to Alabama whereas Ohio State’s one loss was to 10th-ranked Penn State. “But more than anything it’s the consistency that we’ve seen week in and week out with Washington,” Hocutt said. The Buckeyes are still in fine shape. Ohio State plays Michigan on Nov. 26 in a game that could decide the Big Ten’s East division. Louisville moved up a spot to sixth, followed by Wisconsin at seven and Texas A&M at eight and Auburn at nine. CHAOS THEORY If chaos is what you crave down the stretch of the college football season, these last few weeks are set to leave you feeling less than satisfied. For sure, none of the teams in the latest top four are safe. Weird stuff happens. What mitigates the chances for real chaos is the firewall the top three teams, and to some extent Washington, has created. Alabama (vs. Mississippi State), Clemson (vs. Pitt) and Michigan (at Iowa) could all lose this weekend and still they would be fine to reach the final four if they win out and become conference champions. Washington would likely be in more trouble than the rest with a loss to Southern California on Saturday, but far from out. The potential for chaos is also limited by the teams lurking behind No. 6 Louisville (8-1). All nine teams ranked from seven to 15 have already lost twice. There was only one 7-2 in the committee’s top 15 at this point last season. For years, the folks who supported and fought for preserving the BCS beat to death one particular point: A playoff would devalue the regular season. Well, they were right, but that’s not such a bad thing. The pressure that comes with a system that is so unforgiving takes some of the drama out of late-season games, but the trade-off makes up for it. More teams are in the mix and more games matter. Losses are not quite so catastrophic, but they do create new possibilities and heighten tension. And, of course, in the end the playoff produces a truer champion. THE FIELD Four of these nine teams will almost certainly make the College Football Playoff: Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, Washington, Ohio State, Louisville, Wisconsin, Auburn and No. 16 West Virginia. Here’s where they stand. TOTAL CONTROL Alabama Clemson Michigan Washington Ohio State Auburn Win out, get in the playoff. Simple. Barring a significant upset in the next couple weeks Alabama-Auburn and Michigan-Ohio State on Nov. 26 might as well be early round playoff games. SOME CONTROL Wisconsin West Virginia The Badgers and Mountaineers would be very much in the mix if they win out and win their conferences, but would still need some help. NO CONTROL Louisville With the Cardinals’ chance to win the Atlantic Coast Conference at slim to none, the best Louisville can do is win out and hope the upsets start piling up. SORT OF STILL IN IT Penn State No. 12 Colorado No. 14 Utah No. 23 Washington State Unranked Florida The Nittany Lions need two losses from Michigan to reach the Big Ten championship game, but they do hold the tiebreaker on Ohio State. The Utes, Buffaloes and Cougars could all still win the Pac-12 at 11-2, which at least gets them a look if there are conference championship game upsets. Don’t laugh at the Gators. If Florida wins out it would be 10-2 with victories against LSU, Florida State and maybe Alabama to win the SEC championship. OK, yeah, you can laugh a little. THE REST OF THE BIG 12 No. 11 Oklahoma and No. 13 Oklahoma State both have two losses and could win the Big 12, but there is no reason to think the Big 12 is getting a two-loss team in the playoff without some madness down the stretch. US comes ‘home’ to Columbus for qualifier COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The U.S. is back in Columbus this week, where it enjoys a distinct homefield advantage. MAPFRE Stadium, the 20,000seat home of Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew, hosts the Americans’ fifth straight home World Cup qualifier against Mexico. The game has become known as “Dos a cero” following four straight U.S. wins by 2-0 scores. “There’s just history here,” American defender Matt Besler said ahead of Friday’s match. “The fans have always been supportive of us, and I think it’s changing now that it’s not just people from this area. There are people from all over the country who are flying in to be a part of this game.” The Americans are 8-0-3 at the venue, a few miles west of sprawling Ohio State and its 105,000-seat football stadium. The MLS stadium’s size allows the U.S. Soccer Federation to ensure a pro-American crowd. “The majority of U.S. fans fill up that stadium. It’s incredible,” said U.S. defender Omar Gonzalez, a Mexican-American who plays for Pachuca. “You don’t really get that anywhere else you go, so it’s definitely an advantage for us to play here in Columbus. It’s not the biggest stadium, it’s intimate but it’s loud, people are close to the pitch so it’s going to be great.” Players began arriving Monday for training. When the U.S. plays Mexico at larger venues such as the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, a large percentage of the crowd has been El Tri supporters. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, November 10, 2016 Help Wanted General Money To Lend Houses For Sale NOTICE Borrow Smart.

By Dave Green �SPORTS 10 Thursday, November 10, 2016 Daily Sentinel Verlander, Cabrera, Sale could be available on trade market SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander and slugger Miguel Cabrera could be available for the right price. The Chicago White Sox might be prepared to deal Chris Sale, too. Not even a week has passed since the Chicago Cubs won their first World Series title in more than a century, and teams already are involved in trade talk as they position themselves for 2017 and beyond. “The conversations this year with GMs started earlier and had more substance to them than I recall in the past,” Philadelphia general manager Matt Klentak said Tuesday on the first full day of the GMs’ annual meeting. A weak free-agent market at many positions has driven deal dialogue. Frustrated they have not won the World Series since 1984 despite a payroll that is among baseball’s highest, the Tigers sound ready to embark on a rebuild. “We have an open mind to listen on any player on our roster,” general manager Al Avila said. “We’re going to try to make this organization good for the long run, not the short run. We’re looking at it as allin for the long haul. And so the transition, that first step, might be a little bit tough here.” A six-time All-Star righthander who turns 34 in February, Verlander went 16-9 with a 3.04 ERA this year in his best season since 2012. He is owed $28 million in each of the next three seasons. Cabrera, an 11-time All-Star who plays mostly first base these days, turns 34 in April. He will be paid $28 million next year, $30 million in each of the following four seasons and $32 million annually in 2022 and ‘23. Detroit’s payroll was about $199 million this year, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Boston, and the Tigers likely will pay a luxury tax of just under $4 million. An 86-75 record, eight games behind AL Central champion Cleveland, prompted Detroit to reconsider its methods. “If anybody thinks that you just can continue to add and add, where does the payroll get to?” Avila said. On the South Side of Chicago, the White Sox sprinted to a 23-10 start, creating visions of a Windy City World Series against the Cubs, then sank to a 78-84 record. After winning the 2005 title, the White Sox have not even reached the playoffs since 2008. Sale, a left-hander who turns 27 in March, was an All-Star in each of the last five seasons and has a contract that pays him $12 million next year and includes club options at $12.5 million for 2018 and $15 million for 2019. White Sox GM Rick Hahn said other teams ask him about Sale, but Hahn also discusses the future with owner Jerry Reinsdorf and executive vice president Kenny Williams. “I think our goal is to put ourselves in a position to win on a sustainable basis,” Hahn said. “We’ve been focused on a short-term benefit. We’ve gotten to the point when we have had our conversations internally with Jerry and Kenny where we realize a better position for the long term is a more prudent path.” Given the tendency of baseball executives to follow the leader, they seek to mimic the Cubs. Seeking its first title since 1908, Chicago hired Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations and Jed Hoyer as GM after the team went 71-91 in 2011. As they overhauled the roster, the Cubs lost 101 games the following year, 96 in 2013 and 89 in 2014. As top draft picks reached the major league team, the Cubs added free agents during the past two offseasons and won 97 games in 2015 and a big league-high 103 this year, when they beat Cleveland in a seven-game World Series. “Any time you’re trading away really good veterans like that, you’re setting yourself up for some really long summers,” Hoyer cautioned. “The messaging in your clubhouse is really difficult. The messaging to your fan base is really difficult. Fans grow to like players on their team, and when you trade away the guy whose jersey they just got for Christmas or you trade away a guy’s friend and mentor in the clubhouse, whoever that might be, that’s hard messaging.” Going young, building a core group and then adding veterans in order to peak with a title is the goal. But making the right decisions on draft picks and swaps is the hard part. “The idea that you rip the Band-Aid off, be bad for a couple of years, make some trades and always end up on the positive side, I don’t think that’s realistic,” Hoyer said. Avila, who took over as Detroit’s GM when Dave Dombrowski was fired in August 2015, remembered when he was the Marlins’ director of Latin American operations under Dombrowski. After winning the 1997 World Series, Florida jettisoned veterans such as Kevin Brown, Al Leiter and Moises Alou under the orders of owner H. Wayne Huizenga, who was in the process of selling the franchise. “That was a fire sale,” Avila said. “This is not a fire sale. This is a change of philosophy.” Hawks hand Cavaliers first loss, 110-106 CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers were handed a surprise Tuesday night. Dennis Schroder scored a career-high 28 points and the Atlanta Hawks gave the reigning NBA champions their first loss of the season, 110-106. Cleveland (6-1) cut into two large second-half deficits, but Atlanta converted clutch shots down the stretch. “It was a weird game,” said LeBron James, who scored 23 points after having only two in the first half. Atlanta led by 18 points in the third quarter before Cleveland cut the margin to two. The Hawks rebuilt the lead to 15 early in the fourth, but the Cavaliers got within two with 25 seconds remaining. Kent Bazemore, who scored 25 points, hit a jumper from the corner with 7 seconds left and put the game away. “They’ve dominated the Eastern Conference for a long time now,” Bazemore said. “They’re definitely the measuring stick, and we passed our first test tonight.” Atlanta had lost 11 straight to Cleveland, including playoff sweeps the last two seasons. “For my two years here, they’ve kicked our butts,” Bazemore said. “This is one of the biggest wins I’ve had since I’ve been here.” Paul Millsap scored 21 points for Atlanta. Dwight Howard, who received four stitches for a bloody lip in the first half, had 17 rebounds. “Give them a lot of credit,” James said. “They played a heck of a LOOKING FOR A CAREER INSTEAD OF A JOB?

You know toward the end of the season they’ll be right there.” Kyrie Irving led Cleveland with 29 points while Love added 24, but the Cavaliers were 11 of 42 on 3-point attempts. “I think they might have had one of those nights, but our guys were really committed out there,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “Our defense in the first half gave us a cushion, and we were able to hold them off.” Cleveland cut a 96-81 deficit to 101-97 on James’ basket with 3:14 to play. The Hawks scored the next six points, but 3-pointers by James and Irving made it 106-103 with 48 seconds left. Milsap’s basket pushed the lead to five, but Love converted a three-point play with 25 seconds remaining before Bazemore hit his clutch shot. Atlanta finished the second quarter on a 22-6 run to lead 53-42. James didn’t score until he hit a jumper late in the first half. Atlanta scored the first five points of the third quarter and stretched the lead to 58-42. Hawks guard Kyle Korver did not travel to Cleveland after the birth Phil Long | AP Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving (2) drives to the basket as Atlanta Hawks’ Dennis Schroder (17) defends during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Cleveland Tuesday. of his third child Sunday. QUEST FOR HISTORY James is averaging just under a triple-double, leading to the question if he can do it for an entire season. “I don’t want to say it’s impossible, but if there is anyone who can average a triple-double in this day and age, it’s LeBron,” Budenholzer said. BIG MAN Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue believes signing Howard is an important addition for Atlanta. “They have a dominant post presence,” Lue said. “He’s very physical. Sometimes he demands double-teams if he gets deep in the paint. He’s going to drive fouls on your big men. They also have a shot blocker.” Browns coach determined to avoid 0-16 season with No-cap commission plan · Full time with benefits Send Resume to: 60680181 jschultz@civitasmedia.com CLEVELAND (AP) — There’s a big, fat, ugly, historic zero on the horizon. Browns coach Hue Jackson will do anything he can to elude it. “Somehow, someway, we are going to find a way not to be 0-16,” Jackson said Tuesday. They’re more than halfway there. At 0-9 and the NFL’s only winless team, the Browns have seven more chances to get that first win and avoid joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams in league history to go without a victory in a 16-game season. After a 35-10 beating on Sunday against Dallas, the Browns have had little time to regroup before playing on Thursday night at Baltimore, where they will look to end their skid and escape becoming the first team in Cleveland’s 66-year history to go 0-10. As the losses mount, it’s gotten tougher for Jackson to put on a brave front. The losing is tearing him up, but Jackson knew when he took the job there would be tough days ahead. He just didn’t count on there being so many of them. “It is about wins and losses,” he said. “We don’t want to be 0-9 right now to be very honest with you. We are going to fight our tails off, and it starts on Thursday night again. Our guys come in here every week with the mindset of, ‘Look, we are going to go back out here, we are going to do it again, we are going to give you everything we have and we are going to go try and change this.’ That is what they have been doing.” The Browns have lost 12 straight and 19 of 20, a troubling tailspin that has taken its toll on players and coaches who need some reward. Jackson is doing all he can not to let the negativity creep into the locker room. Now is not the time for defeatist attitudes. “It is about this team really staying together and fighting together,” Jackson said. “I think you guys know within these walls is a brotherhood here. We all have each other’s back. We understand the situation we are in, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t doing some things better than what we have ever done here. I do believe there are a lot of good things that are going on here. It just hasn’t shown up in the win ledger. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
