Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood reports that on Saturday, Nov. 11, the Ohio Department of Agriculture Enforcement Division executed a search warrant with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office at a residence on Bush Road in Long Bottom. The resident is a Dangerous Wild Animal (DWA) permittee who owns a bear, according to a news release. The resident is alleged to have been operating a “bearbaiting” event whereby several hunting dogs were released inside an enclosure thus attacking the bear. Information received by officers was that the resident was reportedly charging admission of $20 per dog to participate. Bearbaiting is defined under Animal Fights, Section 959.15 of the Ohio Revised Code. In addition to the resident and his juvenile son, seven males, two females, and eight children were allegedly present at the event with the majority of participants being from West Virginia. At least one child was reportedly observed inside an unapproved enclosure while dogs were attacking the loose bear.

TVM �NEWS Daily Sentinel Wednesday, November 15, 2017 3 To never step aside: Gallia gathers to honor veterans By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County residents gathered in Gallipolis City Park Saturday to honor those who sacrificed and are currently serving their country as military service members during Gallia Veterans Day ceremonies. Executive Director of the Gallia Veterans Service Office, John Thomas, served as master of ceremonies and led the Pledge of Allegiance. The River Valley High School Show Choir led the National Anthem and Pastor John Jackson led the invocation. The show choir then again led the public in a rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic. Thomas recognized area guests and dignitaries before inviting U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson (R-Marietta, OH 6th District) to serve as the event’s guest speaker. Johnson was born and raised on family farms. Johnson entered the U.S. Air Force in 1973, and retired as a lieutenant colonel after a distinguished military career of more than 26 years. In that time, he was awarded the honors of the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Force Commendation Medal, and the National Defense Service Medal. As a director of the Air Force’s Chief Information Officer staff with the US Special Operations Command, Johnson was known to work with Secretary of Defense representatives as well as senior congressional staff and leaders within the US intelligence community. Following his retirement from military service, Johnson turned to creating and building high technology businesses and also served in Photos by Dean Wright | Tribune U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson (R - Marietta), a retired U.S. Air VFW Post 4464 Honor Guard leads the Veterans Day parade while displaying the event’s honorary Force lieutenant colonel, speaks to the gathered in Gallipolis City flags. Park Saturday about the importance of unity. the executive leadership team as chief information officer of a global manufacturing company. In 2010, Johnson was elected to his first term to represent the people of Ohio’s Sixth Congressional District, which covers much of eastern and southeastern Ohio. He was subsequently reelected in 2012, 2014 and 2016. He currently serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Budget Committee. Additionally, he is a member of the House Shale Caucus. Johnson is also the author of the book entitled “Raising Fathers” in which he addresses the importance of fatherhood, and begins confronting the destructive social and cultural impacts caused by what he feels to be the staggering number of America’s children that are being raised in fatherless homes. Johnson and his wife LeeAnn, currently reside in Marietta with a son, Nathan. He is also the parent of three grown children and is a grandfather of six. “I promise I will not keep you long, but I hope what I will share with you in just a few brief moments will leave you feeling encouraged today,” said Johnson. “You know, if you listen to the television, you would think that the train has fallen off the tracks, that the wheels are coming off of America. Well let me tell you they’re not. This is still the greatest place to live. And the reason that it is is because of the millions of brave Americans throughout our nation’s history that have stood up for the cause of freedom, volunteered to put on America’s military uniform and go off and carry the banner of freedom around the world.” Johnson went on to say that if Americans would look back in history, during the 1860s, the country had just come out of the American Civil War. “We were never, and have never, been more divided as a nation than we were then,” said Johnson. “And yet in less than a generation, we came together with northerners and southerns putting on the same uniform. We marched off to Europe to fight off tyranny in World War I. We demobilized and did the same thing again in World War II. Then Korea. And then Vietnam and today’s mod- Gallia residents gather in Gallipolis City Park Saturday after the Veterans Day Parade to honor those who have sacrificed and served for their country. ern War on Terror.” Johnson would go on to read a speech first given November 13, 2010 by then Lt. Gen. John Kelly (now the White House Chief of Staff) to the Semper Fi Society of Saint Louis. He would describe a 2008 suicide bombing in Iraq that killed two Marines, Cpl. Jonathan Yale and Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter. The speech given by Kelly, and repeated by Johnson, has been called “Six Seconds to Live” and details how an explosive truck charged towards a military camp gate in Ramadi. The pair of previously mentioned Marines fired at the vehicle, killing the driver, before the truck exploded, killing the two Marines. Despite their wdeaths, the rest of the camp survived. A surveillance video displays the six seconds described in the speech between the vehicle entering the Marine’s view and their subsequent death. “They never even stepped aside,” said Johnson. “Folks, they never even shifted their weight. With their feet spread shoulder width apart, just like they’d been trained to do, they leaned into the danger, firing as fast as they could work their weapons…ladies and gentlemen, (those) are the kind of people that are standing watch in harm’s way all over the world, protecting you today.” Dean Wright can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2103.

CENTER FOR Arthritis&JointRehabilitation at Pleasant Valley Hospital 304-675-2781 | pvalley.org OH-70002286 �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, November 15, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Hey, Facebook, some guy stole my life! Recently, I found myself looking at something very strange — a Facebook page full of pictures of myself. This might not have been strange had I been looking at my own FaceScott book page. Maxwell But I wasn’t. I was looking at the Contributing page of someone allegedly named columnist “Brett Colin.” Brett and I had a lot in common. We had taken the same vacations. We had the same children. We even had the exact same face. (Poor Brett.) I thought it was I who rode a horse to the top of mountain in North Carolina several years ago. No, apparently that was Brett. I thought I took my son to a Bucs game where my son beamed after Mason Foster gave him his receiver’s glove. Apparently that was Brett, too. It was pretty clear someone had lifted my personal information and photos to create a fake Facebook page. (I learned about the page after someone Brett was trying to con let me know. Brett had left some of the “tags” with my real name on a few of the photos.) So I contacted Facebook and told them about the scam — which was when my weird story got weirder. Facebook quickly let me know it understood the problem: “You reported someone for pretending to be you.” But Facebook also said that was fine with them. Um … what? Specifically, Facebook responded that they had investigated the matter and concluded that Brett’s page — where he was pretending to be me — “doesn’t go against our Community Standards.” Well, then your standards blow, Facebook. I ultimately got the page removed, and I’ll share how. But the greater message here is that you can’t trust anything to remain private. Anything. “I always tell people that anything you put on social media should be something you would be comfortable showing the whole world.” Those are the words of Joan Goodchild, an expert in social-media security with Information Security Media Group. Joan checked out my situation and said the fake page was a pretty clear example of “catfishing.” That’s when someone creates a fake page to try to lure someone in — often under the auspices of romance, but ultimately to take them for money. The key giveaway in my case was that, while Brett lifted lots of things directly from my Facebook profile — like his journalism degree (what were you thinking, Brett?) and graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go, Heels!) — he changed one key thing. Under marital status, it said: “Divorced.” Now, some days, my wife might be tempted. But we are, in fact, together and quite happy. Still, Brett had removed any evidence of my/his wife from all the pictures. Why? “He’s catfishing,” Goodchild explained, “portraying himself as a divorced, single dad interested in having a relationship. But then, after a while, he’ll start saying: ‘I need money to support my son.’” I do need money to support my son. He’s 15 and eats like a hippo. But I use Publix BOGOs to deal with that problem. Not Facebook. One of the key things I’d done wrong was not place private settings on all my photos to keep strangers from seeing them. Actually, I had always tried to do so. But Goodchild said that, in Facebook’s earlier days, it often reset users’ settings back to public-sharing status when it updated its platform. Not cool, Facebook. Also not cool was the social-media giant’s response to my problem — you know, when they said the problem wasn’t actually a problem. (No wonder the Russians got in so easily.) A Facebook spokesman later admitted they’d messed up. He said a human being incorrectly handled my complaint, but said the company’s “automated” system later caught it. (This is why droids will be doing all of our jobs in a few years.) How did the “automated” system catch it? Well, after Facebook told me they were cool with some fraudster using my info, I asked others to report See FACEBOOK | 5 YOUR VIEW The ‘Valley of Lost Souls’ Dear Editor, I believe the Ohio Valley has become the Valley of Lost Souls. I firmly believe everybody on drugs has become a lost soul and the Ohio Valley is full of them. Say a prayer. Bernice Dudley Mason, W.Va. THEIR VIEW Time flies when you’re older It took what felt like an agonizing hour or more to get through my 40-minute Richard C. high school algebra Gross class. And Contributing now, in my columnist 70s, sitting in front of my desktop computer reading the morning newspapers for an hour feels as if only 30 minutes have gone by. Time does seem to go faster as we get older, even if, in reality, it doesn’t. There are several theories about why this is so, including one that connects time’s passage with our experiences. Time appears to crawl when we are young, life is fresh and we consistently absorb new information. As we get older, familiarity because of repetition appears to accelerate the ticking of the clock. (The New Yorker seemed to support that theory in its Nov. 13 issue when Steve Coll began The Talk of the Town column, “It was only a year ago that voters delivered Donald Trump to the presidency. It feels much longer. Trump’s Twitter storms and erraticism can seem to slow time.”) Other theories exist. One noted last year by Christian Yates, a lecturer at the University of Bath, is that time speeds up as we age because as our metabolism slows it matches the deceleration of our heartbeat and breathing. “Children’s biological pacemakers beat more quickly, meaning that they experience more biological markers (heartbeats, breaths) in a fixed period of time, making it feel like more time has passed,” Mr. Yates wrote in the online publication Quartz. On that note, Ana Swanson, now a reporter for The New York Times, wrote in a Washington Post Wonkblog two years ago that “our sense of time is governed by biological processes that run the body. “Researchers have long shown that we experience time as going by much slower when our body temperature is higher. So perhaps it’s not a coincidence that children have a higher body temperature than adults, and also experience time more slowly.” She pointed to an intriguing theory, first posited by French philosopher Paul Janet in 1897; it refers to the proportion of your age compared with your life span as an explanation of why time seems to accelerate as we age. Time stretches out for a 1 year old because one year represents 100 percent of the baby’s life, explained Ms. Swanson. When you’re 8, a year is 12.5 percent of your life. At 18, a year is 5.56 percent of your life. And so on, until at 98 you’re at about 1 percent of your life. “This idea has stunning implications,” she wrote. “It means that parents actually see their children grow up much faster than children perceive themselves to be. … It might also explain why kids on car trips are always asking that annoying question, ‘Are we there yet?’ A car journey actually feels longer to kids than it does to adults.” One thing we all know for sure is that time flies when we’re having fun. Which really means that “engaging in a novel exploit makes time appear to pass more quickly in the moment,” wrote James M. Broadway, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Santa Barbara, and Brittney Sandoval, a graduate of the same school. Their essay appeared in the Scientific American Mind. “But,” they wrote, “if we remember that activity later on, it will seem to have lasted longer than more mundane experiences. “The reason? Our brain encodes new experiences, but not familiar ones, into memory, and our retrospective judgment of time is based on how many new memories we create over a certain period. In other words, the more new memories we build on a weekend getaway, the longer that trip will seem in hindsight.” To return to Mr. Yates, the Bath lecturer, and the theory that the sense of time is related to the amount of information we absorb: The bombardment of President Trump’s near-daily assaults on our senses may be applied. “With lots of new stimuli, our brains take longer to process the information, so the period of time feels longer,” Mr. Yates wrote. So “the more familiar we become with the day-to-day experiences of life, the faster time seems to run.” What’s behind this is the neurotransmitter dopamine, whose levels drop from the age of 20 onward, “making time appear to run faster,” Mr. Yates wrote. The trick to slow time, then, is to keep having new experiences. Mr. Trump’s verbal and Twitter outbursts can help. Richard C.

Whenever the subject Ohio State’s loss to Iowa two weeks ago or any subject even tangentially related to it came up, he said there would be “zero discussion” of it. He used the word “zero” six times during his 15 minutes at the microphone. It was reminiscent of Belichick saying, “We’re on to Cincinnati,” five times in a postgame press conference, alluding to the New England Patriots’ next opponent after a 41-14 loss to the Denver Broncos in 2014. Big Ten East Division leader Ohio State (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten) plays Illinois (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) on Saturday. Here are some highlights from Meyer’s press conference: —-FOCUSED ON THIS WEEK: When asked about the College Football Playoff, Meyer said, “There will be zero conversation around here, especially when you talk to the players. There will be zero conversation about what happened before and what’s going to happen in the future. Zero.” —- HIGH ON TAILBACKS: Meyer said Ohio State’s running backs group, led by J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber, is “as strong right now as we’ve ever had it as far as depth,” he said. “That was against the No. 1 rush (defense) team in America, at least top five. And I thought our backs ran really hard. They played fresh and they played fast and they played hard. J.K. had 18 (carries) and Mike had 9 or 10, something like that. I liked the mix,” he said. —-TWO OPINIONS ON TARGETING: There were two targeting penalties called on the Buckeyes in the Michigan State game and Meyer agreed with the replay verdict on one, but not the other. “Denzel Ward’s was a mistake. That’s where the replay official should not be replay official anymore,” Meyer said. “The guys on the field make mistakes, it happens fast. But a replay official screws it up, then you can’t do that.” He agreed with the verdict on another targeting call against Dre’Mont Jones. “It was a late hit.

(AP) — Kevin Harvick wasted zero time in leveling the first volley in NASCAR’s championship race. In Harvick’s opinion, he’s playing with house money when he races Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski next Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the title. It’s Truex, Harvick believes, who faces all the pressure. “Martin has won a lot of races this year,” Harvick said. “Those guys have dominated the year, and I feel like if they don’t win at this point, they would probably feel like they’ve had a letdown. “It’s a lot of fun coming from behind and playing catch up and kind of playing that underdog role is much easier than being expected to go down there and win. We expect to win.” When told that Harvick has picked Truex as the favorite, Truex cut off the question before waiting to hear what Harvick even said. “That sounds like Harvick,” joked Truex. But Truex won’t be rattled. He’s won seven races this year, been the most dominant driver all season and has three wins in these playoffs. So if Harvick is trying to lean on Truex, he’s got the wrong guy. “It doesn’t work on me,” Truex said. “If I’m the favorite, perfect, I like that. I think it’s a better position to be in. I was the underdog before and I finished fourth, so yeah, bring it on.” The field was finalized Sunday when Keselowski earned the final spot in the championship on points. He finished 16th at Phoenix Raceway and had to sweat it out because he was never in contention for the victory. Had one of four other drivers won the race, Keselowski would have been out. And, had Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin not been feuding, Hamlin might have claimed the final spot over Keselowski on points. “Just feel glad to make it through, you know, and have a shot next week,” Keselowski said. “You never know how these things are going to play out. Certainly would be a stretch by any means by how we ran today to say we’re the favorite, but we are glad to be there, and you never know how those races are going to shake out.” Matt Kenseth passed Elliott with 10 laps remaining to win Phoenix and deny Elliott the final berth in next week’s championship race. Had Elliott hung on for the win, he would have qualified for the championship finale. Elliott finished second for the seventh time in his career. The Kenseth win salvaged the day for Gibbs, which had a chance to get Hamlin into the championship. Hamlin and Elliott were racing for position and Elliott gave Hamlin several taps as he tried to get past him for position, and when he finally was able to pull alongside Hamlin, the two cars made contact. Hamlin grazed the wall and immediately began losing positions on the track. Just a few laps later, his tire blew, Hamlin hit the wall and his race was over. Elliott admitted he raced Hamlin aggressively, same as Hamlin did when he wrecked Elliott from the lead at Martinsville. “A wise man once told me that he’ll race guys how they race him with a smile on his face, so that’s what I did today,” Elliott said. “I raced him how he raced me, and that’s the way I saw it. That’s about all I have to say.” UCLA players return to US after China incident LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three UCLA basketball players detained in China on suspicion of shoplifting are on a plane back to Los Angeles. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said Tuesday the matter “has been resolved to the satisfaction of the Chinese authorities.” Freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley were detained in Hangzhou for ques- tioning following allegations of shoplifting last week before the 23rd-ranked Bruins beat Georgia Tech in their season-opening game in Shanghai as part of the annual Pac-12 China game. Ball is the brother of LA Lakers guard Lonzo Ball. The rest of the UCLA team returned to Los Angeles last Saturday without the three. There was no immediate word from UCLA on the players’ status for the team’s home opener Wednesday night against Central Arkansas. The school said the three players, along with coach Steve Alford and athletic director Dan Guerrero, will make their first public comments about the matter on Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, but won’t take questions. �NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, November 15, 2017 Daily Sentinel Judge, Bellinger unanimous Cavs rally past Knicks, 104-101 picks as Rookies of the Year By Noah Trister Associated Press The only major question was whether it would be unanimous — and it was. Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger are baseball’s Rookies of the Year, after their record-setting home run binges left no need for any dissenting opinions. Judge led the American League with 52 homers, the most ever by a rookie. Bellinger hit 39 and had to settle for the National League’s rookie record. Judge and Bellinger received every first-place vote available from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Judge became the first New York Yankees player to receive this award since Derek Jeter in 1996. Bellinger gave the Dodgers a record 18th Rookie of the Year winner. “Watching him from the West Coast, what he did on the East Coast, was awesome,” Bellinger said. “I was a big fan of his, and met him during the All-Star game, and he’s a humble dude. I think we’re both reflecting, now that the season’s over, on the kind of seasons that we’ve had.” This was the first time both Rookie of the Year awards were unanimous since 1997, when Nomar Garciaparra of Boston and Scott Rolen of Philadelphia won. This season’s votes were announced Monday night. Boston outfielder Andrew Benintendi finished second in the AL, followed by Baltimore slugger Trey Mancini.

Judge is also an MVP finalist. “Obviously it was an amazing, remarkable year that no one would have predicted,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “When you drop 52 — I think he really should have had 53, one that instant replay didn’t protect. … It should be a higher number. It was just an incredible year.” Ichiro Suzuki in 2001 and Fred Lynn in 1975 are the only players to win the AL MVP and Rookie of the Year awards in the same year. The Yankees entered this season with marginal expectations by their standards, but the prodigious power of Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez transformed them almost overnight into an exciting young team with tremendous potential. They made the postseason as a wild card. “It’s exciting times right now to be wearing pinstripes,” Judge said. “To come up through the minor leagues with a lot of these guys, watch them develop, and now to see what they’re doing at the major league level is really impressive.” Judge’s 495-foot shot on June 11 was the longest home run in the major leagues this season, according to Statcast . Although he struck out 208 times in the regular season and 27 more in the postseason, the 25-year-old outfielder is one of a handful of reasons why the Yankees suddenly seem to have one of the brightest futures of any team in baseball.

Neither could keep him down for good. James had 23 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, Kyle Korver scored 19 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to spark a huge comeback, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat New York 104-101 on Monday night. James also had a technical foul after a first-quarter altercation with Frank Ntilikina and Enes Kanter, which seemed to charge up the Knicks. But he didn’t lose his poise then or midway through the third quarter, when Tyronn Lue yanked the five starters with the Knicks on their way to a 23-point lead. “I knew we had another half,” James said. “Didn’t know that I was going to get snatched like that early in the third, but I felt if I got back in I could still make some plays to help our team win.” He did, hitting two of the Cavaliers’ nine 1HZO\ UHPRGHOHG � EU DSW ���� D PRQWK DQG ���� GHSRVLW� &DOO ������������ 1LFH FRWWDJH� ����� +RPHVWHDG 5HDOW\ %URNHU� 3W� 3O� �������� Houses For Rent %HDXWLIXO &RWWDJH QHVWOHG LQ �� DFUHV RI ZRRGV� 'HFN� &HQWUDO DLU� PXFK PRUH� ������� D PRQWK� ������������ RU ������������ +RXVH DW ���� 6W 5W ��� � %5� /5� )DP 5P�.LWFKHQ DSSOV�ZDVKHU�GU\HU ���� SHU PWK ������������ ��EU IRU UHQW ���� SOXV GHSRVLW��EU DOVR FDOO ������������ 3-pointers in the fourth after they made just seven through three quarters and helping the Cavs charge back for their eighth straight victory at Madison Square Garden. Cleveland outscored New York 43-25 in the fourth, making more 3s than the Knicks had baskets (8). But the turnaround started late in the third with the second unit in. “Now we just kept talking about chipping away, chipping away,” Dwyane Wade said. “And then as you saw Kyle Korver got going and then when you saw LeBron check back in, you knew, OK. You saw the waves coming.” Tim Hardaway Jr. had 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Kanter added 20 points and 16 boards. But Kristaps Porzingis shot only 7 for 21 while scoring 20 points as the Knicks blew their chance to beat the Cavs for the second time this season. The game was just two days after James, following a victory in Dallas, said Mavericks rookie Dennis Smith Jr. should be a Knick. The Knicks passed on Smith in the draft, taking Ntilikina one spot earlier at No. 8. James said he meant it as a shot at former president Phil Jackson, and he was angry that he thought Kanter overreacted in his defense of Ntilikina. So it wasn’t surprising they were involved in an altercation late in the first quarter. James dunked and then wouldn’t move out of the way as Ntilikina tried to take the ball back to the baseline to throw it in. Ntilikina pushed James, who then exchanged words with Kanter after he ran in. James shoved Kanter, and both were given technical fouls. “I don’t care … what you call yourself. King, Queen, Princess, whatever you are. You know what, we’re going to fight and nobody out there (is) going to punk us,” Kanter said. James’ response? “I’m the King, my wife is the Queen and my daughter is the Princess,” he said. “So we got all three covered.” 38%/,& 127,&( 127,&(� LV KHUHE\ JLYHQ WKDW RQ )ULGD\� 1RYHPEHU ��� ���� DW ����� D�P�� D SXEOLF VDOH ZLOO EH KHOG DW ��� (� 0DLQ 6W� 3RPHUR\� 2+ ������ 7KH )DUPHUV %DQN DQG 6DYLQJV &RPSDQ\ LV VHOOLQJ IRU FDVK LQ KDQG RU FHUWLILHG FKHFN WKH IROORZLQJ FROODWHUDO� ���� )RUG )��� 9,1��)76:��3��('����� ���� &KHYUROHW 0RQWH &DUOR 9,1� �*�::��(�<������� ���� )RUG )��� 6XSHU 'XW\ 9,1� �)7�:�%7�%(%����� GARAGE/YARD SALES Garage/Yard Sale &KULVWPDV 6DOH 5RGQH\ &RPPXQLW\ &WU� 5RGQH\� 2K WR\V�HOHFWURQLFV�FRPSXWHUV DQG PXFK PRUH 1RY ����� �DP��SP 7KH )DUPHUV %DQN DQG 6DYLQJV &RPSDQ\� 3RPHUR\� 2KLR� UHVHUYHV WKH ULJKW WR ELG DW WKLV VDOH� DQG WR ZLWKGUDZ WKH DERYH FROODWHUDO SULRU WR VDOH� )XUWKHU� 7KH )DUPHUV %DQN DQG 6DYLQJV &RPSDQ\ UHVHUYHV WKH ULJKW WR UHMHFW DQ\ RU DOO ELGV VXEPLWWHG� 7KH DERYH GHVFULEHG FROODWHUDO ZLOO EH VROG �DV LV�ZKHUH LV�� ZLWK QR H[SUHVVHG RU LPSOLHG ZDUUDQW\ JLYHQ� )RU IXUWKHU LQIRUPDWLRQ� RU IRU DQ DSSRLQWPHQW WR LQVSHFW FROODW� HUDO� SULRU WR VDOH GDWH FRQWUDFW .ULVWL 0DLQYLOOH DW ������������� �������������������������� �COMICS Daily Sentinel BLONDIE Wednesday, November 15, 2017 9 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 "Y $AVE 'REEN RHYMES WITH ORANGE By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL By Bil and Jeff Keane ����� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS ����� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Hank Ketcham’s ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � Having A Yard Sale?

Cleveland’s coach is willingly taking some big hits for his rookie quarterback. One day after a calamitous goal-line situation at the end of the first half cost the Browns points — and maybe their first win — in a 38-24 loss to the Detroit Lions, Jackson again refused to discuss details of the sequence or lay blame on anyone but himself. “I take responsibility for it,” Jackson said. “It is on me. It is not on DeShone. It is not on the offensive unit. I coach the offensive unit. I coach the quarterback. As I said yesterday, I am not going to back off that. Totally on me. Not on him. Whatever we think he should have done or could have done stems from my teaching of him. I take full responsibility for it.” Fair enough, coach. So what did you not teach Kizer? “I do not want to get into that,” he said. “Next question.” While Jackson’s gesture to protect Kizer may be noble as he fights to save his job after going 1-24 in two seasons, it doesn’t explain why the Browns (0-9) botched a chance to cut into Detroit’s 17-10 late in the second quarter. With the Browns at the Detroit 2-yard line with 15 seconds left and out of timeouts, Kizer tried a sneak but was stopped well short of the goal line. The Browns rushed to run another play, but failed to line up in time — the Lions did all they could to prevent Kizer and lineman Shon Coleman from getting up — before the clock expired. The gaffe was costly and perhaps symbolized Cleveland’s winless season better than any other play. Following the game, guard Joel Bitonio and tight end Seth DeValve both said Kizer called an audible, changing the play from whatever Jackson had called to a daring attempt to score on his own with little margin for error. Because they’re the Browns, everything went wrong. Jackson, though, insists he is the one who should take the heat. “I can’t put our guys in that spot,” he said. “I know a lot of people feel like that is the reason why we lost the game. I do not feel that at all. It was an opportunity to score more points, but it is not the reason we lost the game. … I get it. I know everybody is fuming about it, and I am, too. I am kicking myself many times about it. Our guys responded, and we had our chances. We just have to do more. “I have to do a better job of coaching. It is just that simple. I do not want to get into what I am going to do. None of that matters. Yesterday we made a mistake. We owned it. I owned it. Does not matter. I will get better and do better. Whatever Jose Juarez | AP Cleveland Browns outside linebacker Jamie Collins lies on the ground after a tackle by Detroit Lions offensive guard Graham Glasgow during Sunday’s game in Detroit. Collins is done for the season with a sprained right knee ligament. you guys want to write or say, that is what it will be. We will get it better.” Except for the second-quarter blunder, Kizer had his most efficient game this season, completing 21 of 37 passes for 232 yards with one touchdown and a late interception. But until the Browns win, the audible is what will be remembered. Like his coach, Kizer refused to address what went wrong. “It is not a blame thing. It is not an audible thing,” said Kizer, who has had other issues near the end zone. “It is just about being better down there. As the quarterback of this team, it is my job when we get that low in the red zone to make sure that the play ends in points. Unfortunately, with the timing situation, that drive didn’t.” Kizer also displayed toughness by returning after taking a shot to the ribs in the third quarter. X-rays were negative and other than some soreness, the 21-year-old said he’s fine. On the play he got hit, Browns rookie tight end David Njoku failed to pick up cornerback Quandre Diggs, who delivered a textbook shot on the QB. Njoku took responsibility for not protecting Kizer. “I don’t feel good about it,” he said. “I kind of wanted to fight him (Diggs) on the field, but that’s emotions. That’s one of my close friends and teammate, and I got him hit. So I’ve got to make up for it next week.” With Haden hurting, Steelers turn to Coty Sensabaugh PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Haden’s career revival in Pittsburgh is on hold, though maybe for not as long as the first-place Steelers feared. While the veteran cornerback’s broken left leg will keep him out for Thursday night’s visit by Tennessee, the team remains hopeful Haden can return at some point in the season. Pittsburgh eyes a run at a second straight division title and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. “It could be less than it might be, or could be more than we think,” Coach Mike Tomlin said Monday. “The reality says he is not playing this week. We will leave him available to us in the short term until we get a better sense of what the prognosis is. Obviously, if there is a chance for him to participate with our team this year, we’ll leave that light on.” Haden left in the first quarter of a 20-17 victory over the Colts. He briefly tried to run on the sideline before being taken to the locker room and spending the second half watching on crutches from the sideline while Pittsburgh (7-2) rallied for a fourth straight victory. Coty Sensabaugh will get the first crack at replacing Haden. The Steelers signed Sensabaugh in the spring, but his chance to become the starting cornerback ended with the Browns released Haden near the end of training camp and he signed a three-year deal with Pittsburgh a day later. Sensabaugh finished with three tackles against the Colts and broke up a pass down the sideline intended for T.Y. Hilton in the fourth quarter. “Coty came out and did his thing,” safety Sean Davis said. So did safety Robert Golden, who filled in after Mike Mitchell left with an ankle injury following a collision with teammate Mike Hilton. Given just three days to prepare for Tennessee (6-3), it’s doubtful Mitchell will participate in any walk-throughs before Thursday night. Sensabaugh doesn’t have Haden’s athleticism, but compensates by taking a more cerebral approach. “He studies the playbook a lot and studies the opponent tremendously,” said Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has faced Sensabaugh plenty in practice since the start of training camp. “I’m always talking to him about how I can get better in my route and my reads. He’s just a very smart dude.” Haden and Mitchell are important parts of a secondary that is second in the league in yards passing allowed. Yet the Steelers did just fine without them while scoring the final 17 points after spotting Indianapolis a 17-3 lead. Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 5 of 11 passes for 91 yards after halftime, and 61 of those came on a touchdown throw to Chester Rogers just over two minutes into the third quarter. Rogers zig-zagged his way to the end zone, and Mitchell left the field limping after slamming into Hilton while trying in vain to bring Rogers down. Mark Zaleski | AP Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis talks with outside linebacker Vontaze Burfict (55) after Burfict was ejected for making contact with an official Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, Tenn. Burfict avoids suspension CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict won’t be suspended for the contact with an official that got him ejected from a 24-20 loss at Tennessee. A league spokesman said Monday that Burfict faces a fine only. He pushed an official’s arm out of the way on the sideline in the second quarter after quarterback Marcus Mariota ran out of bounds. Two plays earlier, Burfict drew an unnecessary roughness penalty for hitting Mariota out of bounds. “I’ve been saying it: He’s going to be held to a different set of standards because of his past,” defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said Monday. “So he’s got to understand that. He does us no good when he’s sitting in the locker room for half a ballgame.” It was the second game in a row that the Bengals (3-6) had a star player ejected before halftime. Receiver A.J. Green was kicked out of a loss at Jacksonville after grabbing cornerback Jalen Ramsey around the neck, tackling him and punching him. The outburst by Green was out of character. He apologized after the game. Green was fined $42,541 by the NFL but wasn’t suspended. Ramsey also was ejected from the game but wasn’t suspended or fined. Coach Marvin Lewis has warned Burfict about exchanging words with opponents after a play. “I’ve explained this to Vontaze,” Lewis said Monday. “He understands that. (Officials) have a job to do and they’re going to separate players. … So get back to the huddle and get going, and that’s the most important thing. We don’t need to jaw with anyone after the play, any of the players.” An ESPN report quoted an unidentified Bengals player saying officials have provoked Burfict. Lewis said “it would shock me” if that were true. Burfict’s latest problems add to his history of fines and suspensions. His biggest meltdown came in the final minute of a playoff game against the Steelers in the 2015 season. His hit to Antonio Brown’s head drew a 15-yard penalty that moved Pittsburgh into range for a field goal and an 18-16 victory. The NFL suspended Burfict for the first three games of the 2016 season in response to his hit on Brown and his history of egregious conduct. He got another three-game suspension to start this season after his egregious hit on Kansas City running back Anthony Sherman during a preseason game. The Steelers have won their past five games against the Bengals, including a 29-14 victory in Pittsburgh this season. The Steelers (7-2) play a Monday night game at Paul Brown Stadium on Dec. 4. Since the Bengals’ playoff meltdown, Burfict and running back Le’Veon Bell have exchanged taunts on Twitter. After JuJu Smith-Schuster scored a touchdown Sunday during a 20-17 victory at Indianapolis, he and Bell re-enacted Green’s takedown of Ramsey as their end zone celebration. The Bengals play at Denver (3-6) on Sunday, completing a stretch of three straight road games. The Broncos are coming off a 41-16 home loss to New England on Sunday night, their fifth straight defeat. Brock Osweiler is expected to start against a Bengals defense that has selfdestructed lately. Cincinnati hasn’t been able to move the ball on offense or get off the field on defense, resulting in a huge imbalance. In the past two games, the Bengals have run 75 fewer plays than their opponents. The Jaguars and Titans each held the ball for more than 40 minutes. The defense allowed opponents to convert 19 of 33 third down plays in the past two games. In the second half alone Sunday, Bengals penalties allowed the Titans to convert a third-and-10, a third-and-8, another thirdand-10 and a third-and-5. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
