And as part of the probe into possible coordination last year between Russia and the Trump campaign, special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has spoken in recent weeks with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who helped compile it the material. The dossier contends that Russia was engaged in a longstanding effort to aid Trump and had amassed compromising information about the Republican. Trump has repeatedly dismissed the document as false and in recent days has questioned whether Democrats or the FBI had helped fund it. Trump also has challenged the ﬁndings of the FBI, NSA and CIA that Russia waged a large-scale inﬂuence campaign to interfere in the election. The FBI and the CIA have said with high conﬁdence that the effort was aimed at hurting Clinton’s candidacy and helping Trump. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and other Republicans latched onto revelations tying Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to a dossier of allegations about his ties to Russia, saying Wednesday that it was a “disgrace” that Democrats had helped pay for research that produced the document. “It’s just really — it’s a very sad commentary on politics in this country,” Trump said. Trump addressed reporters one day after news reports revealed that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, for several months last year, helped fund research that ultimately ended up in the dossier. Trump has called the material “phony stuff” and “fake news,” and on Wednesday he portrayed himself as the aggrieved party, posting on Twitter a quote he said was from Fox News that referred to him as “the victim.” The new disclosure is likely to fuel his complaints that the approval for community member Dale Walburn to have a handicap parking spot outside of his home.

See GALLIA | 7 Can revenge push Ohio State? ‘Hell, yeah’ says Meyer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was direct when asked whether his players will be motivated by revenge in the longawaited showdown with No. 2 Penn State this weekend. If the idea of avenging last year’s upset loss at Happy Valley gets his guys worked up, he might be able to use it. “You’ve got to ﬁgure you’re dealing with youngsters,” Meyer said Monday. “Is revenge a motivator? Hell yeah, it is. “I’m not saying this will be it,” he said. “There have been times we used it and we looked silly using it, and there are times it worked. I don’t know yet. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday isn’t about that; it’s about execution of a game plan and focus.” A year ago, Ohio State was No. 2 and rolling along at 6-0 when unranked Penn State pulled off the 24-21 upset . Grant Haley returned a blocked ﬁeld goal 60 yards for a touchdown with 4:27 left in the game, and the Nittany Lions sacked J.T. Barrett twice on Ohio State’s ﬁnal possession to seal perhaps the biggest victory to date for Penn State in the post-Joe Paterno era. “I think we were just stunned,” defensive end Sam Hubbard said. “We didn’t respect a really good opponent and kind of took winning for granted.” The loss seemed to throw them out of sorts. The offense couldn’t quite ﬁnd the sweet spot again after that on the way to being embarrassed by Clemson in the College Football Playoff. “I’ll kind of listen and watch,” Meyer said of whether he’ll play the revenge card with his players before Saturday’s home game. “I think you’re talking about 18-, 19-, 20-year-olds. We’ve used (revenge) quite a bit, and then other times, we moved on.” This time, it’s Penn State that is undefeated and ranked No. 2 behind Alabama.

In the last 21 meet- �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Point Pleasant hosts Westside Browns rookie Garrett unlikely to play Sunday BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Myles Garrett could miss Cleveland’s trip to London because of a concussion. The top overall pick in this year’s NFL draft was placed in concussion protocol on Tuesday after arriving at the team’s facility with concussionlike symptoms. Because of the timing, it’s unlikely the defensive end will play in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at Wickenham Stadium. Garrett is not under any travel restrictions, and it’s possible he’ll ﬂy with the team if he can clear concussion protocol following practice on Thursday. The injury is another setback for Garrett, who missed Cleveland’s ﬁrst four games with a sprained right ankle. The 21-year-old has been steadily increasing his playing time, going from 19 plays in his debut to 33 against Houston on Oct. 15 to 57 in Sunday’s loss to Tennessee. Garrett has been dominant when he’s healthy. He recorded a sack on his ﬁrst play as a professional and leads the team with four sacks. He’s given Cleveland’s defense a huge lift and a pass-rushing presence it lacks when he’s not on the ﬁeld. Garrett’s injury is another major blow to the winless Browns, who lost Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas for the remainder of the season with a torn triceps. Gallia already eliminated from playoff contention, Waverly is currently eighth in Region 16 and is one of ﬁve teams entering Week 10 with a chance to grab the ﬁnal playoff spot.

A loss won’t be fatal for Penn State, but the Nittany Lions will have to muscle their way out of a glut of other one-loss teams to get to make the ﬁnal four.

The Point Pleasant volleyball team celebrated Senior Night in style after posting 31 kills Tuesday night during a convincing 25-7, 25-2, 25-8 victory over visiting Hannan in a battle between Mason County programs. The Lady Knights (173) never trailed in the match as the hosts recorded at least eight kills in each game en route to the wire-to-wire triumph. The Red and Black picked up their ﬁfth straight win and also claimed a season sweep of the Lady Cats (3-16) after posting a 3-0 decision in Ashton back on Sept. 21. The Blue and White, conversely, dropped their fourth consecutive overall decision. Point Pleasant honored four seniors — Gracie Cottrill, Brenna Dotson, Mackenzie Freeman and exchange student Maria Da Costa — before the contest, then the hosts rode that momentum into Game 1 after jumping out to early leads of 4-0 and 9-1. of battling to get better as a program. “The seniors, I just cannot say enough about them,” Cottrill said. “It’s my third season with them at the high school level and they’ve been really good leaders. They’ve been a big part of our program’s growth over the last four years and I’m very happy that they could enjoy their ﬁnal home match. They’ve been a pleasure. “They’ve gone from a losing program to 17-3 during their tenure with the program.

The Pittsburgh Steelers coach stressed Tuesday that Bryant is “not available via trade” following a social media outburst late Sunday in which Bryant expressed frustration about his role in the offense and hinted he wants to go to a team where he can get more playing time. “It’s irrelevant whether his gripe is legitimate,” Tomlin said. “It’s whether it’s appropriate.” Bryant initially called out rookie teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster while commenting on an Instagram post that claimed Bryant was being ignored by Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Bryant later deleted the post, replacing it with one in which he called Smith-Schuster a “great talent” then adding “I just wants mine period pointblank.” Smith-Schuster brushed off the criticism on Monday, but Tomlin chastised Bryant for publicly airing issues he believes should be kept in-house. “He was out of bounds in some of his actions in terms of the things he said on social media,” Tomlin said. Bryant ran once for 2 yards and caught one pass for 3 yards in a 29-14 win over Cincinnati last Sunday, the secondlowest yardage total of his career. Seven games into his return after missing all of the 2016 season because of a drug suspension, Bryant is tied for third on the team with 18 receptions. He’s also third in targets, though his 13.0 yards per catch is well below the 17.3 yards per reception he averaged while becoming one of the NFL’s most potent deep threats in 2014 and 2015, when he scored 14 touchdowns in 21 games. Tomlin and Bryant’s teammates have praised Bryant for his discipline and hard work since being conditionally reinstated in the spring. The 25-year-old has successfully navigated the difﬁcult path back to the league, taking all the necessary off-the-ﬁeld steps required to clear the numerous hurdles the league puts in place for repeat offenders of the substance abuse policy. “We’ve invested a lot, we’ve covered a lot of ground,” Tomlin said. “It’s obvious we’ve still got more ground to cover with him because we’re still having a conversation that’s not football-related. “He’s done a lot in the period of time he’s been here in terms of improving, not only as a player but as a man. But we’ve still got a ways to go.” Tomlin plans to speak to Bryant in person on AP SPORTS BRIEFS Reds’ parade won’t be on opening day CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati’s opening day parade won’t be on the Reds’ opening day next year. Organizers of the 99th annual Findlay Market Opening Day Parade announced Wednesday they’ll wait until Monday, April 2, to hold the event that winds through Cincinnati’s downtown. The 2018 Major League Baseball season will begin Thursday, March 29, the earliest start in Major League history excluding international openers, to create more off days during the season. All 30 teams open that day with the Reds hosting the Washington Nationals. Merchants say the early Major League start comes at a busy time when stores and customers are preparing for that weekend’s Easter holiday. A Reds ofﬁcial says the club understands the decision and will continue to enthusiastically embrace the parade. The Reds host the Chicago Cubs April 2. Wallace Jr. to drive for Richard Petty in 2018 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Darrell Wallace Jr. will drive Richard Petty’s iconic No. 43 full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series next year. The team did not immediately disclose a car manufacturer or sponsor in Wednesday’s announcement. The 24-year-old Wallace, more commonly referred to by his nickname “Bubba,” became the ﬁrst black driver to race at NASCAR’s top level since 2006 when he replaced an injured Aric Almirola earlier this year. Wallace won the Truck Series race at Martinsville in 2013 to become the ﬁrst black driver to win at a national NASCAR series event since Wendell Scott in 1963. NASCAR says there have been at least seven black driv- ers in its series previous to Wallace, including Scott, who raced from 196173 in Cup, Willy T. Ribbs, who did three Cup races in 1986, and Bill Lester, who raced sporadically from 1999 until 2007 at all three national levels. Police: Man returns bike belonging to WR PITTSBURGH (AP) — Police say a man has returned a bike belonging to Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Juju SmithSchuster, telling investigators he bought it from someone for $200 on the street. Mount Oliver police Chief Matt Juzwick said the man called from a bar about 11 p.m. Tuesday after realizing from TV news the bike was reported stolen by the Steelers receiver. SmithSchuster was expected to pick it up Wednesday. Mount Oliver is a tiny borough bordering Pittsburgh. The man who turned in the bike gave police a description of the man he bought it from and Pittsburgh police are hoping to ﬁnd him. Smith-Schuster, a 20-year-old rookie, didn’t get a license while attending USC because of the school’s ridesharing program. He’s used the bike to get from his apartment to the Steelers nearby practice facility.

And despite his misgivings about the current state of the offense, the Steelers remain adamant he can be an impact player so long as he does his job, remains patient and focuses on the things that have helped him get his career back in order. “He’s a good guy to work with in the building and has been,” Tomlin said. “We’ve been very clear about this process about getting reacclimated to us. Not an easy one but he’s worked diligently, I like his approach. But he says some things when he’s not around us that are somewhat of a distraction. And I say somewhat because we’re having to ﬁeld questions regarding him, not because it’s high on my damn agenda.” Tomlin hasn’t seen any evidence of Bryant going through the motions or pouting on the ﬁeld during games. All of which makes his decision to vent his concerns in an open forum all the more jarring, particularly after the ﬁrstplace Steelers (5-2) put together convincing wins over Kansas City and Cincinnati to move past a shaky start. The Steelers could make Bryant inactive to prove a point, though it seems unlikely. SmithSchuster reported concussion-like symptoms late in the victory over the Bengals and is in the protocol. His availability for a trip to Detroit is uncertain, meaning Bryant could see an uptick in playing time and opportunities. Despite the headaches, Tomlin remains a believer. “He had a great week last week of practice,” Tomlin said. “Usually when it happens, only a matter of time before it shows up on the ﬁeld.” Truex’s team heads on through adversity in playoffs KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — There have been soaring highs at the track for Martin Truex Jr. and his Furniture Row Racing team this season, a series-leading seven victories and a spot in the round of eight of NASCAR’s playoffs. The crushing lows have come away from it. There was the news this summer that Truex’s longtime girlfriend, Sherry Pollex, would need a second round of chemotherapy after doctors discovered a recurrence of cancer. She had her spleen taken out and was recovering in the hospital when Truex won the Cup Series race at Kentucky. There was the news that Truex’s crew chief, Cole Pearn, lost his childhood friend to a bacterial infection. Jacob Damen’s unexpected death came just days before Truex won on the road course at Watkins Glen, and just before the man’s family was to attend the race at Michigan. There was the hard decision Pearn had to make in the days after Truex’s victory at Charlotte, which assured his spot in the round of eight, to put his dog down. The pup had become an indispensable part of the family over the past 13 years, a constant companion on his rise through the ranks. Then there was the news Saturday night that Jim Watson, one of the fabricators on the No. 78 car, had died of a heart attack . The 55-yearold crew member had accompanied the team to Kansas Speedway for the elimination race, helping usher the car through inspection just hours earlier. True to form, the team rallied through adversity to reach Victory Lane again. “It’s just like, man, I don’t know if regular life is supposed to be like this,” Pearn said Sunday night. “And it just keeps going on for some reason. It would be a lot nicer to have all the highs and not all the lows. That’s just how life is and we’re getting the full circle of it.” No amount of on-track success can make up for the loss of a life. Or the recurrence of cancer. Or the loss of a pet. To call the Furniture Row Racing team’s stunning performance this season a silver lining would be nothing more than a trite cliche. Yet the track has nevertheless provided an escape from many of those hardships, a place where Truex and his team can focus on the task at hand rather than much more substantial problems. “The nice thing is they’re a tight race team. Everyone rallies togeth- Virtual Costume Contest er,” explained Furniture Row Racing president Joe Garone. “We just try to keep focus on what we need to do.” So far, they’ve managed to do that week after week. Their second victory of the year at Kansas Speedway came despite on-track obstacles, too, beginning with a restart violation that resulted in a pass-through penalty. Teams had been told during the prerace meeting that diving below the white line on a restart was against the rules. Truex made the move, but it was Pearn who accepted blame. “We were talking about what happened (to Watson),” he said, “and I ﬂat wasn’t paying attention.” Then, Truex was making his way quickly through the ﬁeld again when a vibration turned into a more concerning shaking. Worried that a wheel was loose, Truex headed to the pits under green and was again shufﬂed to the back of the lead lap. Truex was chased across the ﬁnish line by Kurt Busch and a host of playoff contenders, then did a customary burnout on the front stretch. As he hopped from the car to fulﬁll a television interview, his team members huddled in the pits and shared in an emotional moment. It’s easy to enter.

Bryant was not at the facility on Monday after calling in sick. While Tomlin declined to get into the speciﬁcs of what he wants to go over with Bryant, he is becoming increasingly frustrated by having to continually address Bryant’s status. Last week, it was dealing with the fallout from a trade request Bryant’s team made earlier in the season. This week it’s talking about how to rein in Bryant. Bryant has little leverage to force the Steelers to ship him somewhere before next Tuesday’s trade deadline. He’s one slip away from a considerably lengthier ban that could end his career and his production this season is well off the eye-popping numbers he put up regularly while helping Pittsburgh to the playoffs during his ﬁrst two seasons in the league.
