As part of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) budget, Governor DeWine is directing $3.5 million in new funding to the program. The governor launched the body armor program while serving as Ohio’s attorney general, and Attorney General Yost began administering the program after taking office earlier this year. “Ohio’s law enforcement officers face danger every day, which is why it is so important that we do all we can to support them,” said Governor DeWine. “Hundreds of law enforcement agencies have already taken advantage of this opportunity to outfit their officers with new safety gear, and I’m proud to increase our investment in this lifesaving program so that we can help protect even more of our officers as they serve our communities.” “Our local cops continue to protect us from danger day in and day out; now this support for them will continue as well,” said Attorney General Yost. “I’m proud to see that these grants are helping to protect officers in every corner of our state. It’s a meaningful way to show our profound thanks for all they do.” More than 400 local law enforcement agencies have participated in the program since it was introduced in August 2018. Participating agencies can receive up to $40,000 to purchase body armor vests with a local match of 25 percent. “Workplace safety is a critical component of our mission, and we are happy to commit these dollars to such a worthwhile program,” said BWC’s McCloud. “The more we can protect law enforcement, the more they can protect the rest of us. That’s how important this program is.” A new interactive map on the attorney general’s website identifies participating agencies and allows users to examine where $3.55 million in grants awarded previously is being used statewide. The 405 local agencies that have received grants to date cover 82 Ohio counties.

Continuing to serve Volunteering for decades to protect and serve By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Meigs County’s longest serving deputy has spent many hours serving the county’s residents through his role in law enforcement, as well as with the local emergency medical services and fire department. Long-time local volunteer Howard Mullen was recently featured by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office in a video on its Facebook page, as well as in an article in the “On the Job” criminal justice update newsletter put out by the office this summer. He has also received recognition for his dedication from other media outlets. This week, he sat down with local media to talk about his 66 years as a law enforcement officer and continuing to serve as a first responder in the community. For more than six decades, Mullen has served as a volunteer part-time at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, as well as being a longtime volunteer with Meigs County Emergency Medical Services and the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department. At age 91, Mullen still volunteers at the sheriff’s office as a special deputy, stopping in a few times a month to spend time with the deputies or ride along with them. Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Special Deputy Howard Mullen was recently recognized for his work and dedication as a special deputy in Meigs County. Pictured with Mullen (center) are Major Scott Trussell, Sgt. Brandy King, Investigator Sgt. Frank Stewart and Sheriff Keith Wood. He can also be found in nearly every parade in the area in his 1947 Ford, which is a fully equip sheriff cruiser with radios, first aid kit, tool kit and more. Asked about his time with the sheriff’s office and some memories that stand out, Mullen recalled a few spe- cific incidents, as well as responding to the collapse of the Silver Bridge.

September is National Preparedness Month. The theme for 2019 is “Prepared, Not Scared”. Disasters are a topic that many people are scared to think about because of the harsh reality of what could happen, but you need to be “Prepared, Not Scared.” Throughout the month of September each week carries a topic to focus on while creating your disaster plans. “Save Early for Disaster Cost” starts out the month from Sept. 1-7. During Week One, think about what you will do financially should a disaster occur. You should look at things such as: does your family have an emergency cash fund that can be used, do you have the proper insurance to help with cost to recover from a disaster, and do you have financial and legal documents in a “safe” location to continue after a disaster? During the week of Sept. 8-14, families need to “Make a Plan” for food, flashlights, disasters and emermedication. More gencies.

The pleasant days and cool evenings she has provided lately felt like a harbinger of the approaching football season that is now upon us, and all is better in my world. I have no idea when I first touched a football, but I assume I was quite young. I know that by the time I was 18 months old my dad had me shooting hoops inside the house on a regular basketball rim he nailed to a wall, and my mom has often said that my siblings and I didn’t need many toys when we were young, because all she had to do Jeff was give us a ball and we were happy. So, I figure I had a football in my Gilliland hands long before I was a year old. Staff columnist I do not know when I decided that football was my favorite sport. But it may have been when I was around kindergarten age and my dad would take us to Hillsboro games. When we got home, one of my brothers and I would play our own football games in the living room, each of us emulating kids we knew on the team that went to church with us. Sometimes were even dressed for the occasion in whatever football garb we had. For the record, I had old gold (that’s a color) football pants, a green and yellow jersey, and a red, white and blue helmet. While I played football both years in junior high, I did not play in high school. But I don’t think it would be a stretch of the imagination to say that I probably played as much football as anyone I went to school with. That included both inside and outside the house. There were times when we visited a church family that had several boys and a large upstairs bedroom with lots of beds. A time or two we lined the beds up side by side and played football across them. Around the same time, when it was cold outside, we played similar inside games with cousins during family get togethers. When my youngest brother — 10 years my junior — got old enough to understand the game, we started playing indoor football games with him. The living room couch was the end zone. Usually, it was me and my brother closest to me in age against the younger brother. The younger one was almost always on offense, trying to reach the couch for a touchdown. We did not cut him much slack in trying to get there, often planning our hits out in advance. We’d toss the ball to him, then as he headed for the end zone one of us would hit him high, and the other one low, making it as much fun for ourselves as we could with hurting the little brother — or at least not too much. Later, when my own kids came along, I played the same game with them. I don’t think my wife appreciated our rough use of the couch much, but she knew we were having fun and never really complained. In our free time growing up, we were almost always playing some kind of sport. More often that not it was football. We’d race home from school, dash in the house and through our books wherever they fell. And every day, without fail and because we were always in rush, we were reminded by our mother to change into clothes that were more appropriate for football than the ones we wore to school. When we got tired of the field in our backyard, sometimes we’d meet up with other kids at other locations and play wherever anyone would let us. In the winter, when the snow was deep, the brother closest to me in age and I would call one of our buddies to come and play football with us. Usually, it was just the three of us, and the games were played just like we did with our little brother in the house — minus the couch. One guy would get the ball, while the other two tried to stop his progress. For a year or two before junior high, we had a neighborhood football team, complete with a coach and regular practices. From time to time we’d take on a bunch of guys from another neighborhood. Later, on autumn evenings when it started getting dark more early, my brother and I would stretch our dad’s extension cords and lights (we had lots of them back then because we insulated houses almost every weekend) through the backyard, light things up as bright as we could, go grab a couple neighbor kids, and commence to playing in the dark until our parents told us to come inside. In our high school days and even into our 20s, autumn Sunday afternoons often found us playing football somewhere. In church on many of those Sunday mornings, I daydreamed of bouncing off tackles and making diving catches. What I wouldn’t give to play one more game of tackle football. Alas, those days are long gone. But if you drive by my house some Saturday afternoon this fall, don’t be surprised if you see me tossing a football with anyone willing, with daydreams of bouncing off tackles and making diving catches dancing in my head.

THEIR VIEW Shucking routine is hard, but has rewards I don’t particularly like changes of routine, especially when they involve changing my surroundings. I’m reminded of this every time I go away, whether by myself or with my spouse. We recently spent a week traveling separately; he to a family reunion, me to visit my twin sister, who again lives in the town where we attended college. That moment when you put your bags down in a place not your own is always a moment of truth for me. The realization suddenly strikes me: I won’t be sleeping in my own bed tonight. As healthy as a change of scenery is, it’s also a tiny bit intimidating. I’m such a creature of habit that eating meals, walking, and sleeping in a different place all take a little getting used to. I’ll need to get through the week without my familiar environmental cues: my with a heightened cat jumping on appreciation for the bed to sleep what I sometimes with me, the take for granted in courthouse clock my home town. announcing the One of the chalhours, my neighlenges of vacationbor’s kids greeting is how to fill ing the new day Christen your time. “What?” with a slam of Giblin the door as they Contributing you ask. “Isn’t the very point of vacahead out to play. columnist tion to enjoy free (You can even time with no commiss slightly mitments?” Yes, but few annoying things…) of us thrive without at But then I remind least a little structure in myself that being unmoored from the usual our days.

As a matter of fact, maybe that attitude is a key to happiness and mental health no matter where we are. Our lives are by definition temporary. Seeing time in shorter increments forces us to live in the here and now. When we focus on what we can do this week, this month, or in this short lifetime, we keep in mind how precious time is. Perhaps seeing our lives as temporary visits on this earth is the way to make the most of them. TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press wartime detention of Today is Sunday, Sept.

The pair had bombmaking materials and weapons in their home and spent months planning, including what they would wear during the attack, before they were arrested in December, prosecutors said. Twenty-four-year-old Elizabeth Lecron, of Toledo, pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and transporting explosives. Her boyfriend, 23-yearold Vincent Armstrong, pleaded guilty earlier this month to a conspiracy charge. Prosecutors said they were targeting a bar in downtown Toledo and had also discussed attacks on several places, including a pipeline and a livestock farm. Court filings said the couple traveled a year ago to Colorado to see the site of the Columbine High School massacre. While away, the FBI searched their home in Toledo and said they found an AK-47, a shotgun and a stockpile of ammunition. Lecron and Armstrong wanted to emulate the Columbine shooters during their planned attack, prosecutors said. She planned to wear a shirt that said “False Prophet” while Arm- TOPS holds weekly meeting TUPPERS PLAINS — TOPS OH#2013 Tuppers Plains met at the St. Paul United Methodist Church. Leader, Judy Morgan, called the meeting to order by asking for the TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) and then the KOPS (Keep off Pounds Sensibly) pledges. All members applauded the KOPS for their success to goal and for their weight maintenance. This was followed by the Pledge to the Flag. The group sang two songs, “A TOPS Member Yes I Am” and “Amazing TOPS”. Twelve members answered when weight recorder, Roberta Henderson gave the roll call. The weekly best loser was Mary Beth Morrison and Kathy McDaniel was monthly best loser. The secretary’s report was given by Mary Beth Morrison and the treasurer’s report was given by Mary Bush. Connie Rankin gave the contest updates. Cindy Hyde won the 50/50 game and the Marble game contin- strong had a trench coat and a T-shirt that said “society failed us,” according to investigators. A plea agreement calls for Lecron to serve 15 years in prison, The Blade newspaper reported. Stephen Newman, a federal public defender overseeing Lecron’s attorney, declined to comment. Armstrong could be sentenced to up to 20 years. Authorities have said Lecron instigated the plans and that shortly after meeting Armstrong, she talked about her interest in mass killings. Before her arrest, Lecron exchanged letters with Dylann Roof, who was sentenced to death in the killings of nine black worshippers in a racist attack at a South Carolina church, prosecutors said. Serve From page 1A Grants From page 1A The county receiving the most grant dollars is Cuyahoga, with $326,653 going to 31 agencies in that county. In Gallia County, a total of $36,841 has been ues. Points were tallied for each member who is participating in the “Card” game. In old business, Leader, Judy Morgan asked the group to bring in items for the gift basket that the chapter will be taking to Fall Rally on Oct. 19. The basket will be Thanksgiving themed. Those who are planning on going to the Fall Rally in Grove City, Ohio, are asked to let the Leader know by Sept 23. Fall exercise charts were distributed. Members mark off “leaves” every day that they exercise in the month of September. Members were also reminded to keep track of the minutes exercised. Mary Bush conducted a program “The Benefits of a Vegan Diet”. Even though TOPS members are encouraged to eat a healthy balanced diet, it was interesting to learn about being vegan. A vegan diet choice is a lifestyle change. It is totally plant based. Vegans are reported to have a 42 percent lower risk of heart failure than those who do not practice vegan. Mary read several vegan recipes to the group. Connie Rankin will have the next program Sept. 9 as the group will not meet on Labor Day. Because it is believed that laughter is the best medicine, funny stories were then read/told by Nola Easterling. Members dismissed by singing the TOPS Enthusiasm Song and then joining hands and reciting the “Helping Hand Circle” poem.

Additionally, Mullen said that he helps to bring publicity to the sheriff’s office with his antique vehicle at parades and events. As a child, Mullen said he always liked to watch law enforcement and the calls they would go on, and said that youngsters today like to see people in uniform. Now, he is the one in uniform for children to see. “It’s something I like to do,” said Mullen. He is “civic minded” and enjoys helping to promote the area. Mullen is a life-long resident of Pomeroy, still living in the house he grew up in. “He is inspiring to all of us,” said Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood of Mullen. Wood said that Mullen has a lot of history which he shares with the other deputies, giving them an understanding of the past. Mullen also spends about two-and-a-half months each year in Florida, where for 17 years he also worked for a small police department during his vacation. In a couple years he answered more than 100 calls during that time. In addition, Mullen still works part-time in the banking industry doing internal audit work for Home National Bank in Racine. Asked if he planned to continue, Mullen said as long as his “health holds up.” He said that he remains “semi-active” with EMS and the local fire department, performing “light duty” due to his age. “I hope to do it as long as health allows me,” said Mullen. “That he still wants to give back to his community makes you want to do it,” said Wood, noting that the dedication of Mullen since 1953 helps to inspire youth and younger officers in what they do in law enforcement. Sgt. Brandy King said Mullen has “been a great asset to the community through law enforcement and the fire department,” noting that you can always count on Mullen to help out. “He is a very dedicated person,” said King. “You can learn from his dedication to the community and the service provided.” The sheriff added that Mullen cares about the people of the county and will do anything to help them. While he is considered a special deputy, Wood said Mullen stops in the office multiple times a month and will ride with the deputies from time to time, as well as completing trainings and activities. “He is the real deal,” said Wood. Wood said that Union County has been in contact with Mullen about participating in their Bicentennial parade next year with his cruiser. Plans are currently being made for that to happen, with Mullen and his cruiser being transported to Union County to be part of the festivities. Mullen said he wanted the public to know that there are a lot of people who put in hours on a volunteer basis in the county, and that they are not “in it for the money.” received, with $16,675 for the sheriff’s office, $12,492 for the Gallipolis Police Department and $7,674 for the Village of Rio Grande Police Department. In Meigs County, a total of $18,913 has been received, with $9,517 for the sheriff’s office, $6,837 for the Middleport Police Department and $2,559 for the Syracuse Police Department. Eligibility is restricted to law enforcement agencies that pay BWC premiums and have policies in good standing. Law enforcement agencies can find more information and apply for the program through the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG). OH-70144956 Mullen noted that many years ago he was out with several other deputies in a field and came very close to being shot. He recalled that it was almost dark and that he became separated from the others. When they heard a noise coming from his direction he heard them preparing their guns. He yelled for them not to shoot as it was just him. On another call, he was behind the door of a cruiser pointing his gun at a suspect when another officer stepped in front of his drawn gun. No shots were fired and no one was injured, but he still remembers the incident years later, although he would not name the other officer involved. The collapse of the Silver Bridge on Dec. 15, 1967, was one event that stands out to Mullen from his years as a first responder. “I still remember the exact words all these years later. It’s etched in my mind,” said Mullen. He recalled the radio traffic stating, “The Silver Bridge has collapsed send all available help.” Mullen was coming from work at the time and was on the scene in about 25 minutes. He spent five days on that response. Among the things he recalls from the scene was helping to lift a cot over the fallen steel to assist the victims. At the time, first responder and law enforcement agencies often had their own radio frequencies which made it difficult to communicate with one another, said Mullen. His vehicle was one of the only ones with two radio frequencies in it, something that helped a lot at the scene allowing for better communication. In addition to his role with the sheriff’s office, Mullen can be found on many calls with the Pomeroy Fire Department, helping to direct traffic on accident scenes to protect other first responders and individuals at the scene, among other roles.

The 5,000-square foot SPACE exhibition has traveled to major science centers and museums across North America. The purpose of SPACE is to present educational elements in scenic environments that will fuel one’s imagination in the future of space exploration. SPACE examines amazing discoveries and explorations from the past and introduces visitors to today’s explorers who are shaping our future destiny in the universe. Most of the emphasis in the content relates to current and future exploits in human spaceflight. The exhibit features child-friendly interactives, immersive environments and stateof-the-art technology to bring this epic story to life. Highlights will include opportunities to touch pieces of the Moon and Mars, ride a selfpowered centrifuge, tour a full-scale future Moon habitat and work station, get an up-close view of next-generation spacecraft and technology and interactively plan a trip to Mars. “The Gallia County District Library Board is excited to build upon the success of the 2016 Bodies Revealed exhibition by providing visitors the opportunity to see this amazing, interactive space exhibit,” said Robbie Jenkins, president of the library board. “With this being the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the library is pleased to commemorate this remarkable time in history by bringing an exhibit of this caliber to our region in 2019.” There will be no admission charge to view this exhibition.

In addition, our community is fortunate to have a visionary, communityminded Board of Trustees and a dedicated library staff.” Saunders explained “It is the goal of the library to provide enriching experiences for those in our community and beyond.” She continued, “This high quality exhibition was previously on dis- play at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. To have this major exhibition on display close to home affords an opportunity to those who may otherwise not have such an experience. We believe that this space exhibition will provide visitors of all ages with an entertaining, educational benefit.” When the library hosted the three-month run of the Bodies Revealed human anatomy exhibition in 2016, visitors came from at least 34 different states as well as from 59 of Ohio’s 88 counties.

A state working group that reviewed the old investigation said it couldn’t determine why the medical board never took action against Richard Strauss or reported the now-deceased doctor to law enforcement, but it found no evidence the case was intentionally buried. One former employee said the investigation fell into a “black hole,” according the group’s report. “This whole story is disgusting,” Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said. “This whole story is a failure of people to do what’s right.” Lawyers suing Ohio State over Strauss’ sexual misconduct say they now represent over 300 accusers whose allegations span from 1979 to 1997 — nearly his entire career at the university. A law firm that separately investigated allegations for the school concluded officials learned of concerns about Kantele Franko | AP Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, right, and Public Safety Director Tom Stickrath announce at a news conference Friday that the State Medical Board ignored credible evidence in 1996 that Ohio State University team doctor Richard Strauss had been sexually abusing male students for years. Strauss as early as 1979 but did little to stop him . The findings “show that every institution and person with a duty to protect Ohio State students from sexual abuse by Dr. Strauss completely failed them,” said Adele Kimmel, an attorney for some of the accusers. Attorney Richard Schulte, who represents a different group of about 125 survivors, said the available evidence still shows Ohio State was in the best position to stop Strauss but didn’t. The university has publicly apologized and acknowledged that failure. Based on the state working group’s findings and recommendations, DeWine is asking the medical board to identify whether there are any licensed Ohio doctors who knew or suspected Strauss’ misconduct and should have reported it but didn’t. He also wants the board to review about 1,500 closed cases from the past 25 years that involved sexual assault allegations against medical staff to see if any others involved evidence of criminal misconduct that was ignored. “I shudder to think there could be other predator physicians still practicing in the state of Ohio or other places in our country,” DeWine said. “I shudder to think that there could be other doctors out there who, because their case may have gone into a black hole, are still allowed to practice. We need to find that out.” GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS Labor Day Gospel Sing during the war is invited to attend.

The Wahama football team cut a four-possession deficit in half during the fourth quarter, yet ultimately fell to visiting Ravenswood on Friday night by a 28-14 margin in the season opener for both programs at Bachtel Stadium in Mason County.

The Red and Black scored on their second possession of the third quarter while increasing their advantage to 28 points with 4:09 remaining, which should have served as a crippling blow with momentum now solely on the side of RHS. Wahama, however, finally found some offensive clout late in the fourth after stringing together a 40-yard scoring drive in just two plays as Abram Pauley scampered 44 yards to paydirt with 3:23 left in regulation. Trevor Hunt added a successful 2-point run that pulled the Red and White to within 28-8. The defense followed by getting the ball back on a loss of downs, and the hosts again made some efficient strides offensively after covering 56 yards in four plays. Gavin Stiltner hauled in a 16-yard pass from Brayden Davenport near the right sideline pylon with 16.6 seconds remaining — ultimately wrapping up the 14-point outcome. Despite keeping things competitive for the better part of three quarters, it was the second stanza that eventually came back to haunt the hosts. Despite some misfortunes, See DEVILS | 2B Southern triumphs over Titans, 34-6 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — After a quarter to knock the rust off, the Tornadoes kicked up quite a storm. The Southern football was locked in a scoreless tie 12 minutes into its season-opener on Friday in Scioto County, but the Purple and Gold found the end zone five times after that and rolled to a 34-6 victory over non-conference host Portsmouth Notre Dame. Southern (1-0) — winning its season-opener for the seventh straight season — went up 8-0 in the second quarter as Trey McNickle punched in from one-yard out and the Tornadoes converted the two-point try. McNickle found the end zone again in with 6:03 left in the third quarter, this time from 22 yards out. The two-point try was stuffed, however, keeping Southern’s lead at 14-0. Notre Dame was back to within eight points after a three-yard Jake McGuire touchdown run on the following drive, but McNickle scored on a 10-yard in the fourth quarter to make Southern’s lead 20-6. McNickle was in the end zone for a fourth time later in the period, this time on a 42-yard pass from Gage Shuler. The Tornadoes converted the two-point try and led 28-6. The guests put a cherry on top of the seasonopening win with a 100-yard interception return by Cole Steele as time expired. In the 34-6 triumph, Southern held a 335-to-212 advantage in total offense, with all of the Titans’ yardage coming on the ground. NDHS claimed a 27-to-17 edge in first downs, but lost the turnover battle by a 2-1 count. The Purple and Gold were penalized six time for 27 yards, while the hosts were sent back four times for 25 yards. McNickle led the Tornado offense, carrying the ball 22 times for a total of 151 yards and three touchdowns, to go with one 42-yard touchdown grab. Shuler — who was 8-of-16 passing for 142 yards with a touchdown and an interception — carried the ball 11 times for a total of 43 yards.

Gary Landers | AP CLASSIFIEDS Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, with no playoff victories in four appearances, will enter the final year of a $96 million, six-year contract in 2020 with no dead money on his deal. along with 2015 top two picks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, who are playing out their fifthyear options in Tampa Bay and Tennessee without long-term deals; Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton; and Jimmy Garoppolo in San Francisco. Most of those teams can get out of commitments to players they once had hoped would be franchise quarterbacks without major salary cap implications. Winston and Mariota are set to be unrestricted free agents if they don’t get new deals or franchise tags. Dalton will enter the final year of a $96 million, six-year contract in 2020 with no dead money on his deal. The 49ers can get out of Garoppolo’s with a cap charge of just $4.5 million. Matthew Stafford could be in a similar situation with the Lions, although making a change in Detroit would come with a hefty dead money charge of $26 million according to overthecap. com, probably giving him security. Garoppolo was viewed as the savior in San Francisco after winning his first five starts to end the 2017 season following a midseason trade from New England. That led to a $137.5 million, five-year contract in the offseason, but things soured from there. Garoppolo struggled in the first three games last season and then went down with a season-ending knee injury. He’s back healthy this summer, still trying to prove he’s worthy of that deal and durable enough to make it through an entire season after starting just 10 games and getting hurt twice in five seasons in the NFL. “It’s crazy what a year can do,” Garoppolo said. “I have so much motivation in myself and I push myself so much that that’s all I need. All the noise on the outside, you kind of just tune it out. … It’s always going to be there.” The questions about Winston, Mariota and Dalton have taken longer to form. Winston and Mariota came into the league as the top two picks in 2015 but haven’t lived up to that billing. Winston has thrown for a franchise-record 88 touchdowns in four seasons, but also has 58 interceptions in 56 career games. H hasn’t shown the consistency needed to thrive in the NFL. Last season, he was suspended for the first three games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, then benched briefly for ineffectiveness after throwing eight interceptions in his first three starts. Now with a respected, offense-minded head coach in Bruce Arians at the helm, and a talented cast led by star receiver Mike Evans, Winston has no excuses. “I’ve just got to do my job,” he said. “The better I do my job, the better chance we give this team a chance to win.” Mariota also has had a difficult time, missing at least one game a season and going through three head coaches and five play callers in his brief career. He is coming off a season when he threw for a career-worst 11 touchdowns with eight interceptions. But with Derrick Henry at running back and an emerging star in Corey Davis at receiver, Mariota has the best offensive talent around him that he’s had in his career. It’s an opportunity to show he’s worthy of a mega-contract. “Other people’s opinions don’t matter to me,” Mariota said. “I just got to be the best I can be for this team.” Many thought the Bengals would move on from Dalton after a third straight year without making the playoffs. Cincinnati made the postseason in each of Dalton’s first five seasons but lost in the wild-card round each time — including in 2015 when Dalton was hurt — and now have taken a step back. Dalton gets the chance to work with an offensive mind in head coach Zac Taylor. AUCTIONS SERVICES Estate Sales Professional Services Estate/Downsizing Sale Sat. Sept. 7 & Sun.

(AP) — While outsiders keep speculating when the Oakland Raiders will cut ties with Derek Carr and search for a new franchise quarterback, Carr tunes out all the outside noise. He ignored all the pre-draft talk whether the Raiders would select his replacement and has paid so little attention to the talk about his longterm security that he has already bought a house in Las Vegas — where his new neighbor when the Raiders arrive in Sin City next year will be coach Jon Gruden. “We are next-door neighbors,” Carr said. “We will be, yes, but that’s for the future. That’ll be fun. Hopefully a lot of knocks on the door. Maybe we can car pool. That would be good for us.” Carr might be the only person so confident in his job status with the Raiders. After a promising start to his career that featured a 12-win season and MVP talk in 2016 when Oakland ended 13-year playoff drought, Carr’s performance has lagged the past two years, thanks in part to switching play callers and diminished talent around him. If he can’t succeed this season after the Raiders added the NFL’s most prolific receiver in Antonio Brown, a dangerous deep threat in Tyrell Williams, first-round running back Josh Jacobs and elite pass-blocking tackle Trent Brown, Carr might need to look for a real-estate agent. And for a new job as the Raiders can get out of his five-year, $125 million contract three years early with almost no penalty. “Let’s just get through this year first and then we’ll play that game again,” he said. “I’ll probably have some more fun with it, but I’m not going anywhere. This is my team and it will be for the next however long I want to play.” Carr is one of several QBs in a prove-it season, Home of the Car Fairy Amy Carter Product Specialist �� ���� �������!�������������� �� ���� ��� ��!� ��� � � �� ����� ���� � � OH-70004516 www.markporterauto.com amycarter@markporterauto.com ROGERS BASEMENT WATERPROOFING Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee Established 1975 %DVHPHQW :DOOV %UDFHG +XQGUHGV 2I /RFDO 5HIHUHQFHV /LFHQVHG� %RQGHG ,QVXUHG FREE ESTIMATES 24 Hours (740) 446-0870 www.rogersbasementwaterproofing.com �COMICS 6B Sunday, September 1, 2019 BLONDIE Sunday Times-Sentinel By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green � � RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO Hank Ketcham’s �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� %\�'DYH�*UHHQ see what’s brewing on the job market.

Sorry. While the history of the league is a widespread and fun topic, what happened last January in the NFC championship game has guaranteed the spotlight will be shining on officiating and replays. After an egregious missed penalty (or two) that basically kept the Saints from making the Super Bowl and helped the Rams get there instead, there was little chance attention could be diverted from the guys with the whistles and their impact on games. Commissioner Roger Goodell, the league’s powerful competition committee and a vast majority of the owners recognized this — and did something about it. Coaches can now challenge pass interference calls and non-calls as part of the replay review system. Just as with other in-game instances, the replay booth will initiate any reviews in the final two minutes of both halves and for an entire overtime. As former NFL defensive back Adam Archuleta, now a CBS game analyst, notes: “They have opened a huge can of worms.” Sure, the Browns’ upgrades — some people envision Cleveland (yes, Cleveland) as a Super Bowl contender — provide a ripe subject. So do the head coaching changes, including Bruce Arians returning to the sideline one year after retiring. There are the aged quarterbacks, from 42-year-old Tom Brady to 40-year-old Drew Brees to late-thirtysomethings Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning and Philip Rivers. And the fledging QBs such as Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray. Don’t forget those big stars in new places: Le’Veon Bell, Odell Beckham Jr., Earl Thomas and Antonio Brown. And let’s ignore Brown’s helmet complaints and frost-bitten digits. But we all know what will hog the limelight. adding anything to the replay system, particularly pass interference penalties. “It’s not good for the game, which is not meant to be played in slow motion or officiated that way,” he says. “I don’t want them stopping games in critical moments. Pro football is an exciting and emotional sport and stoppages take away from that.” A realist, Archuleta admits he knew something would happen after the New Orleans debacle. He accepts the coaches’ challenge as the most logical means, but doesn’t have to like it. The addition of pass interference will change the strategies for using challenges. An early false INTERFERING spotting of the ball, for WITH REPLAY example, might not see a Gene Steratore spent red flag thrown because 13 years as an NFL refa coach realizes a late eree and also was a colDPI or OPI call or nonlege basketball official.

Nothing much ingly for a former safety, is expected to change adamantly disagrees with this season with rules designed to boost points production; players on that side of the ball better prepared for the NFL when they reach it; and fans’ insatiable appetite for shootouts. Fantasy football fanatics can rejoice. Still, the Super Bowl final score was 13-3, and there are several teams whose defenses successfully can determine their fate. The Rams, Chargers, Ravens, Bears, Cowboys and Bills could fall into that category. Chicago, which led the league with 27 interceptions in ‘18, believes the Monsters of the Midway have been reborn. The Bears are primed to prove it. “Takeaways on the field and the practice field correlate to takeaways on the field in the game as well,” star edge rusher Khalil Mack says. “You know what I mean? So it goes hand in hand. When you work on taking away the ball in practice, naturally it happens in the game.” what matters. That’s where my focus is,” Brady says. “It’s a unique situation I’m in.
