GALLIA COUNTY — Good News Baptist Church has been doing a new outreach ministry this year, collecting ﬁrewood and processing it to give away to families in need. What began as an idea for men in the church to fellowship together grew into a way to help families in the area. The church gathers wood that is donated from individuals that need trees removed but cannot afford to pay for their removal, or are simply kind enough to support a ministry that helps others. Wood is collected from anywhere in Gallia, Meigs, or Mason Counties and the church will donate the wood to anyone in the tri- county area. “We’ve helped families in need that couldn’t afford to heat their homes. It eases the burden on them to keep warm in the winter time,” said Denver Garber, deacon at GNBC. “We do it for the love of God.” The Deacons at GNBC are tasked with caring for the physical needs of the members of the church and others, and they have taken these resources to help warm the homes of families that are facing ﬁnancial burdens during the winter time. While many homes in the area have moved away from heating with ﬁrewood, there are still plenty that heat with wood; as it is a common and often See FIREWOOD | 5 HARRISONVILLE — New Era Broadband has announced the launching of High Speed Broadband Internet Service to the residents of Harrisonville and the surrounding area. The ofﬁcial launch of the service was Dec. 18. David Hannum, founder and owner of New Era Broadband believes that this will be a “tremendous boost” for the people who live in this area. “The residents of Harrisonville have been at a disadvantage for some time. It’s has been on our radar for a long time, but it’s a challenging place to provide service for. But now, the folks in Harrisonville will be on equal footing with others around the county in terms of Internet options,” said Hannum. Jason Tillis, Scipio Township Fire Chief states, “One year ago I set out to bring Scipio Township Fire Department closer to that information highway. We needed that information to perform basic operations via online with state and federal governments. David and (the) New Era (Broadband) team has worked tirelessly to bring my department online and our community together more and give our residents another option for basic to advanced Internet needs.” See INTERNET | 3 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, December 28, 2017 Daily Sentinel OBITUARIES TONY LYNN FORESTER Jordan Pickens | Courtesy The officers pictured are Jim Hayman – Senior Warden, Larry Ebersbach – Treasurer, Phil Hill – Worshipful Master, Steven Trussell – Installing Officer, Phil Hill – Junior Steward, Guy Bing – Installing Marshall/ District Education Officer, Donald Stivers - Past District Deputy Grand Master/ Installing Chaplain, Fred Crow – Senior Steward, Billy Goble – Junior Deacon, John Epple – Junior Warden, Joe Wood – Secretary, and RWB Steven E.

Your bosses seem more than pleased with your hard work. You feel appreciated for the most part. That is, until the moment you discover that your male colleague sitting right next to you in a similar position with similar Leona years of experience is paid far more Allen Contributing than you are. Talk about a slap in the face. columnist That’s what reportedly happened last week to “E!News” host Catt Sadler, who after 12 years at the network said she learned that co-host Jason Kennedy was paid double what she had been making for several years. Armed with this information, she said she went into contract negotiations expecting her pay to be made equitable. E! denied discrimination. But “not only did (E!) refuse to pay me as much as my male counterpart, but they didn’t come close — nowhere close, not even remotely close,” she said. So she quit. Sometimes, a woman needs to take a stand and make a move. Sadler spoke up. Sadly, so many women don’t. Overwhelming research shows that women ask for raises far less often than men do. We gotta get over this hurdle. No wonder this country still has a gender pay gap — women still earn 81 cents to every $1 a man makes. It’s even worse for women of color. Not only is that blatantly unfair, but it’s been illegal for more than 50 years. The gap has been caused by an economic stew, including that women more often sign up for lower-paying jobs and white men more often get toppaying jobs. And there can be differences in the history of wages for candidates coming into jobs. But when a woman knows she’s doing the same job as a man and has the same years of experience, she deserves a fair share. Why is it so hard for women to negotiate for it? At this rate, women will never catch up. Some experts say we won’t get to gender pay equality until 2119. That’s more than a hundred years from now. It matters because women are leaving millions of dollars on the table over their lifetimes, affecting where their families live, the quality of schools their kids attend and future raises based on their annual pay. Experts say many women often don’t even think of asking for more pay and if they do, they ﬁnd the notion of haggling intimidating. And too often, bosses — male and female — negatively attach labels like “aggressive” and “bossy” to women when they ask for what they want, labels no one would dare ascribe to men. So women stay silent. It’s past time to make some noise. We can’t keep waiting to be tapped on the shoulder for more money and promotions. If we feel we deserve a raise, we have to ask. A career coach once told me that in her decadeslong experience, asking for a raise was very difﬁcult for women. But men do it all the time. The answer will be yes or no. If it’s no, then you have a ﬁrm answer with which to make some important decisions. I’ve always taken that to heart. I posed a question to a women’s online discussion group asking members if they’d ever been in See MONEY | 5 THEIR VIEW BWC to push wellness, safety The new year is almost here, and many of us are thinking about resolutions that include working out, eating healthier and getting in shape. We have our own resolutions at the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC): we resolve to help more employees get home safe and sound every day. That is why we’ll continue our focus on wellness and workplace safety in 2018. Ohio employers and workers both beneﬁt when injuries don’t occur. A stable, productive workforce saves employers money they can invest in their companies. Likewise, workplace injuries can place a physical and ﬁnancial strain on workers and their families.

THEIR VIEW Americans should be free to buy vehicles that meet their needs Imagine if there were just one kind of car you could buy and you were told by the government you had to buy. No choice, no options. One size ﬁts all, just because. It’s a ridiculous idea, of course. The reason there are different types of cars — and trucks and SUVs and everything in between — is because people have different needs. Some people need a full-size, 4WD SUV capable of carrying six adults, handling heavy snow in the winter and pulling a heavy trailer come summer; for others, a subcompact sedan that gets 40 MPG all year long makes more sense. One size, obviously, does not ﬁt all. The car industry, operating in a free market, caters to these needs. The same principle applies — or ought to — when it comes to what makes our cars go. There are four major choices currently available: Gasoline, gas-electric hybrid, full electric and diesel. Each way of getting a car going has its pros and cons — just as driving one type of vehicle versus a different type of vehicle entails pros and cons. Electrics, for instance, can be plugged in anywhere there’s an outlet. No more having to deal with gas stations. Or gas costs. And they don’t produce any tailpipe exhaust emissions — because they haven’t got a tailpipe. They are classiﬁed as Zero Emissions Vehicles for this reason.

They are also nearly emissions-free at the tailpipe, and, of course, emit nothing at the smokestack. The same goes for modern gas-burning engines. Many gas and diesel engines currently in production qualify as Partial Zero Emissions and even those that don’t quite make that cut are extremely close to it. Many people outside the car industry do not realize that the difference in exhaust emissions between ZEV and PZEV and Super Ultra Low Emissions, the next rung on the regulatory ladder, amounts to fractions of a percent. That there is no longer any such thing as a “dirty” internal combustion engine — whether gas or diesel. And there’s more to come, including an ultra-efﬁcient and ultralow-emissions hybrid gas-diesel engine being developed by Mazda. Strides are being made in terms of electric cars as well. Range is increasing and recharge times reducing, while costs are going down. But all types still have their pros and their cons, which is why it’s important that people remain free to choose the form of propulsion that best meets their needs. Just as they are still free to choose the type of vehicle that best meets their needs.

(AP) — Bills owner Terry Pegula wondered what television NFL ofﬁcials were watching in questioning inconsistencies in video replay rulings after Buffalo receiver Kelvin Benjamin’s touchdown was overturned in a loss at New England last weekend. The usually low-key owner went out of character Tuesday during an appearance on Buffalo’s WGR-Radio by speciﬁcally referencing NFL ofﬁciating chief Al Riveron, and saying he intends to raise his concerns with the league. “I don’t know what’s going on, but we have to ﬁx it,” Pegula added. “I’m not saying this as the owner of the Bills. I’m saying it as a football fan. We can’t have stuff like this happening in our league.” Pegula questioned whether the league has taken its review process too far in overturning ofﬁcials’ calls “Replay was developed by this league to correct obvious mistakes,” he said. “If you’ve got to look at a play 30 times from ﬁve different angles and keep looking at it and looking at it and looking at it, you go with the call on the ﬁeld. It’s what the league’s been doing ever since replay started.” As for Riveron, Pegula said the league ofﬁcial might be the only one in the nation who agrees with the call being reversed. Pegula then provided a blunt response when asked whether he expects the conversations at the league ofﬁce to be unfriendly. “Well, you know, if it’s unfriendly from the other side, I can dish back unfriendly, too, because it’s a little upsetting” he said. The NFL declined to comment on what Pegula said. Benjamin was initially ruled to have had both feet down in the end zone in catching a 4-yard pass that would have put Buffalo up 17-13 in the ﬁnal seconds of the ﬁrst half of a 37-16 loss on Sunday. The ofﬁcial’s call, however, was reversed upon a video review, with referee Craig Wrol- stad saying replays revealed Benjamin did not have control of the ball when his ﬁrst foot hit the turf. The Bills instead settled for a ﬁeld goal in tying the score at 13. Former NFL ofﬁciating VP Mike Pereira criticized the league by saying the ofﬁcial’s call was incorrectly reversed by “someone in a suit in an ofﬁce in New York.” Bills coach Sean McDermott reiterated what he said immediately following the game by saying he remains at a loss by the call being reversed even after spending the past few days consulting with league ofﬁcials. However, McDermott added, he and his players need to turn their attention to a critical season ﬁnale at Miami on Sunday with the Bills’ slim playoff chances hanging in the balance. The Bills (8-7) are still in contention, but need help from other teams to end a 17-year playoff drought. Buffalo needs to beat its AFC East rival and have either Baltimore (9-6) lose to Cincinnati, or have both Tennessee (8-7) and Los Angeles Chargers (8-7) lose their games. “We must turn the page,” he said. “We’ve got to be mentally disciplined and focused on what we can control, and that’s ourselves and this week.” McDermott’s message didn’t See REPLAY | 7 Tomlin noncommittal about lineup for finale vs. Browns PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin isn’t sure how long of a break he wants to give his star players before the postseason begins. The Pittsburgh Steelers coach is going to wait to determine how much Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell and company play during Sunday’s regularseason ﬁnale against winless Cleveland. The Steelers (12-3) wrapped up their third AFC North title in four years earlier this month and secured a ﬁrst-round bye by dominating Houston on Christmas night. A shot at the top seed and home-ﬁeld advantage in the playoffs remains a possibility, a scenario the relies almost exclusively on the New York Jets beating New England on the road, something the Jets have done only once in the past decade and even that came in 2008 when Tom Brady was out with a knee injury. “We will play to win that football game,” Tomlin said Tuesday. “Who we choose to employ or utilize or activate — we are in the process of discussing. Make no mistake about it. The expectation will be what it is. The people we put on the ﬁeld will be expected to play and play winning football.” The Steelers held out Roethlisberger, Bell and Antonio Brown in their meaningless 2016 ﬁnale against the Browns when backup quarterback Landry Jones guided Pittsburgh to a comeback 27-24 victory. Jones could again get the call or at least play extensively, though Tomlin insists he’s not going to make personnel decisions based on what the scoreboard is telling him about the game in Foxborough. One decision is already made for Tomlin. Brown will miss a second straight week while recovering from a strained left calf suffered in the ﬁrst half of a loss to the Patriots on Dec. 17. Tomlin remained noncommittal about Brown’s availability for the playoffs. Pittsburgh opens the postseason on Jan. 13 or 14.

Utah won 30-14. Moss, Utah run past West Virginia 30-14 DALLAS (AP) — Zack Moss took a thirddown handoff and burst through the line into an opening in the middle of the ﬁeld. Utah was off and running to another bowl victory. Moss ran for 150 yards, including a careerlong 58-yard run for a touchdown on the Utes’ opening drive in the Heart of Dallas Bowl as they went on to a 30-14 win over West Virginia on Tuesday. Utah is now 11-1 in postseason games under Kyle Whittingham, who matched Alabama’s Nick Saban for the most bowl wins by an active coach. “He knows how to coach the team and he always caps the year off right,” Utah sophomore quarterback Tyler Huntley said. Huntley scored twice on 2-yard keepers , but the Utes led for good in their ﬁfth straight bowl victory after Moss broke free early on a drizzly and chilly day in Cotton Bowl Stadium. “It was very important for us to come out of the gates with a big play early on and set the tone,” said Moss, who like Huntley still has two seasons left with the Utes (7-6).

If you lose guys, you need guys to step in and play at a high level and that is the bottom line.” Whittingham’s debut as head coach was a Fiesta Bowl win at the end of the 2004 season. He co-coached that game with Urban Meyer, who had taken the Florida job three weeks earlier but returned to be part of Utah’s postseason win over Pittsburgh after his defensive coordinator had been promoted to head coach. Under Whittingham, the Utes prepare for bowl games like regular season games, often in full pads and with continuing conditioning work. There is also a little bit of peer pressure. “We’ve got a group of guys and have had several groups of guys come here that take a lot of �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Thursday, December 28, 2017 7 Jayhawks favored, Sooners giving chase as Big 12 play tips LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — When the Big 12 coaches made their annual preseason pilgrimage to Kansas City a few months ago, every one of them except Kansas coach Bill Self predicted the Jayhawks would win another conference title. And that was only because Self couldn’t vote for his own team. Yet things have changed over the course of the nonconference season, and what looked like a certainty that the Jayhawks would win an unprec- edented 14th straight Big 12 title is suddenly up in the air. West Virginia has lived up to expectations. Oklahoma is on the rise behind the Pete Maravich-like scoring of Trae Young, the sensational freshman that picked his hometown school over the Jayhawks. TCU is unbeaten, Baylor and Texas Tech are ﬁrmly ensconced in the Top 25, Kansas State took unbeaten Arizona State to the wire, and Texas, Oklahoma State and Iowa State have been hot lately. Heisman finalist Love to lead Stanford against TCU SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Another season, another Stanford player as a Heisman Trophy ﬁnalist. With Cardinal players making the trip to New York ﬁve times since 2009, it’s become as predictable as anything in college football. Running back Bryce Love is the latest. But unlike his predecessor Christian McCaffrey, Love will be joining his teammates for what could be his last bowl game. McCaffrey, a Heisman ﬁnalist in 2015, bolted for the NFL after his junior season in 2016, opting to skip his bowl game to prepare for the NFL draft. Love, a junior, will lead the Cardinal (9-4) into Thursday night’s Alamo Bowl (10-3) against TCU. Love hasn’t decided yet if he will return to Stanford for his senior season, Cardinal coach David Shaw said Wednesday. “He’s just thought about the bowl game. After the bowl game I’m sure he’ll talk to his family … He’s just excited to go and play,” Shaw said. Even with 1,973 yards and 17 touchdowns — he needs just 57 against TCU to break McCaffrey’s school record set in 2015 — Love’s season still has a ﬂavor of what might have been. Love has been dogged by a sprained ankle since midseason. He still piled up huge numbers and ended the season with four consecutive 100-yard games, somehow running for 125 yards despite being barely able to walk in a loss to USC in the Pac-12 title game. The Doak Walker Award winner averaged a stunning 8.3 yards this season. Love has said this week his ankle feels “amazing” and the “best it’s felt in a while.” “I’m really excited about that,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said with a tinge of sarcasm. “Four weeks of rest. A healthy Bryce Love.” Pity TCU. For the second consecutive game, the Horned Frogs faces a Heisman ﬁnalist. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld — the Heisman winner — shredded TCU in the Big 12 title game, and now they get to face the best running back in the country. TCU had arguably the top defense in the Big 12, but Love brings something special behind a punishing offensive line, Horned Frogs linebacker Ty Summers said. “To be able to run for almost 2,000 yards like he did, it just shows he’s got grit,”” Summers said. “I mean, his skill, he’s shifty, really elusive. You can’t go in there and break him down. He’ll make you miss.” Alamo Bowl, San Antonio Stanford (9-4) vs. TCU (10-3), Thursday, 9 p.m. Eastern (ESPN) Cardinal QB The Stanford offense revolves around Love. But if his ankle gives him problems again, that puts more pressure on the arm of redshirt freshman quarterback K.J. Costello. He’s a move-the-chains QB who wasn’t called on to put up big numbers in a grinding offense. He averaged 174 yards passing with seven touchdowns and two interceptions over the last ﬁve games as Love was battling the ankle problem. Long run Love If the ankle is in good shape, Love’s big-play ability is unmatched. Love had 12 runs of 50 yards or more, and 11 of them went for touchdowns. Speedy Turpin The Horned Frogs’ most dangerous player might be do-it-all KaVontae Turpin, if they can get him the ball. Turpin has exceptional speed and his 38 catches rank second on the team. He also has 15 punt returns with one for a touchdown. Get Turpin in space and he can get to the end zone in a hurry. “A very explosive player,” Stanford safety Justin Reid said. “They just try to ﬁnd unique ways to get him the ball so he can do what he does and try and create yards … Going against him will be fun.” ond semester. If they can get their other ﬁve-star recruit, Billy Preston, on the court after spending the entire fall investigating an off-the-court ﬁnancial issue, the Jayhawks could still be the team to beat. “We’ve played consistently well this year except for backto-back games, a four-day stretch where we weren’t very good,” Self said, taking a rare optimistic outlook on his team heading into conference play. “Other than that, we played consistently well.” ruled James lost control of the ball after crossing the goal line. Pegula wouldn’t be the ﬁrst Bills owner to question a call that went against Buffalo at Foxborough, Massachusetts. The NFL ﬁned late Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson $50,000 for questioning two calls — including a passinterference penalty with no time remaining — that led to Patriots beating Buffalo 25-21 in 1998. Pegula and his wife, Kim, purchased the Bills from Wilson’s estate in 2014. On Benjamin’s touchdown, Pegula said he’s heard from numerous observers who disagreed with the reversal. “Everybody I talked to, and they’re not Bills fans, they’re not necessarily anti-Patriots, they’re all bafﬂed by that call,” Pegula said. “It just wasn’t consistent.” time over the course of his career here anyway so we don’t have a lot to draw from in that regard.” The only player in NFL history to have 100 catches in ﬁve consecutive seasons has been remarkably durable during his rise to one of the best players in the league. He hasn’t missed multiple games because of injury since 2012. The Steelers hardly missed Brown while rolling over the reeling Texans. Rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster caught six passes for 75 yards and a touchdown, Martavis Bryant added three receptions for 60 yards and Justin Hunter, active for just the sixth time this season, hauled in his ﬁrst touchdown reception in 13 months. “The replacement of Antonio Brown, if you will, is a difﬁcult task, but not if everybody simply does their job and makes the necessary plays when the opportunities come their way,” Tomlin said. “That’s what happened throughout the game for us.” Tomlin anticipates the same “hand in the pile” mentality when Pittsburgh tries to make Cleveland the second team in NFL history to go 0-16 regardless of who is in the lineup. From page 6 prevent offensive coordinator Rick Dennison from eliciting a laugh when asked if he understood what constituted a catch. “I’m not at liberty to say,” Dennison said. The NFL’s review process is taking heat for a second consecutive week in which a touchdown was erased against the Patriots. In a 27-24 win over Pittsburgh on Dec. 17, ofﬁcials initially ruled that Steelers tight end Jesse James scored in making a 10-yard catch with 28 seconds left. The call was reversed upon review when it was Lineup From page 6 his driveway with a football in his hands. When asked if there’s any concern about Brown dealing with rust should he return, Tomlin offered nothing but caution. “I didn’t say that (he will return),” Tomlin said. “So, we’ll see. He hadn’t missed a lot of Charles Krupa | AP This play with Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (13) trying to make a catch in the end zone in front of New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore, left, during the first half of Sunday’s game in Foxborough, Mass., is the center of another dispute over replay review by the NFL. Benjamin was initially ruled to have had both feet down in the end zone in catching a 4-yard pass that would have put Buffalo ahead 17-13 in the final seconds of the first half of what ended up a 37-16 loss. The official’s call was reversed upon a video review, with referee Craig Wrolstad explaining Benjamin did not have control of the ball when his first foot hit the turf.

Hughes gets $2,125,000 in each of the next two seasons under the deal announced Tuesday, and the Reds have a $3 million option with a $250,000 buyout. He can earn an additional $750,000 annually in performance bonuses for games: $100,000 each for 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50, and $75,000 apiece for 55 and 60. A 32-year-old righthander, Hughes went 5-3 with a 3.02 ERA for Milwaukee last season with one save in 67 appearances. He became a free agent when the Brewers failed to offer a 2018 contract by the Dec. 1 deadline. Cincinnati hopes Hughes will provide help getting leads to closer Raisel Iglesias, who had 28 saves in 30 chances last season. Hughes pitched his ﬁrst six seasons in the majors with Pittsburgh.

That made Tuesday’s success in the Quick Lane Bowl even sweeter. After a six-game losing streak dropped them to 4-6, the Blue Devils (7-6) had to beat Georgia Tech and Wake Forest just to get bowl eligible. They managed that, got a bid to spend Christmas in Detroit, and salvaged the season with a 36-14 win over Northern Illinois. “People ask me how we came back from 4-6, especially since we don’t have a star player who we could turn to,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “I tell them that we have a roster ﬁlled with great teammates. They decided they had to work together if we were going to come up with a decent ﬁnish.” Duke quarterback Daniel Jones ﬁnished with 338 yards of offense, throwing two touchdown passes while running for a third score, and Shaun Wilson and Brittain Brown added rushing touchdowns. “We knew Northern Illinois had a lot of success rushing the passer this year, but our offensive line really controlled things,” Jones said. “That really opened things up for our offense. “We were frustrated after losing to Army, but we were ﬁnally able to channel that into motivation.” Redshirt freshman quarterback Marcus Childers threw for 234 yards and a score for Northern Illinois (8-5), while fellow redshirt freshman Tre Harbison ran for a touchdown. “Marcus and I know that this offseason is crucial,” Harbison said. “If we work hard, we should have a special backﬁeld next year.” The Blue Devils took a 14-0 lead in the ﬁrst quar- ter, sandwiching rushing touchdowns around a failed Northern Illinois fake punt on 4th-and-18 from their own 11. “They were being physical with our gunners, so we thought we could get a pass interference and a ﬁrst down,” Huskies coach Rod Carey said. “They didn’t bite, and we had a punter throwing to a defensive back.” The Huskies had two ﬁrst downs and 46 yards in the quarter, but tied the game with two scores in the ﬁrst 2:38 of the second. Duke, though, moved back into a 26-14 lead with two touchdowns before halftime. “We let up for a little while, and they took advantage of our mistakes,” Duke linebacker Joe Giles-Harris said. “We knew we had to get focused again, and we shut them out from there.” Jones fumbled on the ﬁrst possession of the second half, but Northern Illinois turned the ball Jerry Jones: Jason Garrett to return as Cowboys coach in ’18 DALLAS (AP) — Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says coach Jason Garrett will return for an eighth full season after Dallas missed the playoffs in a year marred by the six-game suspension of star running back Ezekiel Elliott. Jones said on his radio show Tuesday that Garrett’s job “is not an issue here at all” while suggesting that there could be other changes to the coaching staff with several contracts expiring. Garrett has two years left on a ﬁve-year deal signed after Dallas won the NFC East in 2014. “I certainly know a lot about Jason Garrett. Because of that, I can very quickly and candidly say that he’s not, his job is not an issue here at all,” Jones said. Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan and defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli signed extensions last offseason, so they are not among those with expiring contracts. “We’ve got a lot of different contracts that are various times coming up,” Jones said. “We’ll look at that. That doesn’t mean there will be any material changes, but we will look at it.” The Cowboys (8-7), who ﬁnish the season Sunday at division champion Philadelphia, had an uneven start before three straight wins to get to 5-3 going into Elliott’s suspension over domestic violence allegations. Dallas lost the ﬁrst three games without Elliott before winning three straight to stay in the race. The Cowboys lost a playoff elimination game to Seattle last weekend in the return of last year’s NFL rushing leader. Garrett has made the playoffs twice in seven seasons. He is 67-55 including the postseason and half the 2010 season, when he took over after Wade Phillips was ﬁred. Garrett is a distant second to Tom Landry in tenure and wins. Jones didn’t offer speciﬁcs when asked why Garrett was the right person to lead the Cowboys. He has a 1-2 playoff record, and Dallas lost its ﬁrst playoff game as the top seed in the NFC last season. The Cowboys have alternated between winning the division and missing the playoffs the past four years. In Garrett’s ﬁrst three full seasons, Dallas ﬁnished 8-8, losing a season ﬁnale with a playoff spot on the line each time. “Let’s basically not get into all the reasons why and I won’t get into all the reasons why not,” Jones said. “Let’s just say that it’s not in the best interest of the Cowboys to be considering a coaching change.” Garrett sidestepped a question about his future after the 21-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. “My job is to do the best job for this football team,” Garrett said. “It was a tough loss for us today and we are going to get back to work and try to ﬁnish strong.” Kansas State beats UCLA 35-17 PHOENIX (AP) — Bill Snyder stood on a makeshift stage in the middle of a baseball stadium with a roof, a sparkling trophy at his side depicting a football sailing through cactus uprights. If this was the end of his storied coaching career at Kansas State, it sure was a great way to go out. Alex Delton ran for 158 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, leading the Wildcats to a 35-17 Cactus Bowl victory over UCLA on Tuesday night in what could be Snyder’s ﬁnal game. “We’ve got so many people to be proud of at Kansas State University and it starts with our players, quite obviously,” Snyder said. Delton replaced Skylar Thompson late in the ﬁrst quarter and scored on runs of 68 yards, 3 yards and 1 yard. Alex Barnes added 117 yards and a touchdown for the Wildcats, who rushed for 345 yards. Kansas State (8-5) struggled in the ﬁrst half against UCLA’s potent offense, but shut down the Bruins in the second to give Snyder his 210th — and possibly last — win with the Wildcats. UCLA (6-7) played without top NFL prospect Josh Rosen, who’s recovering from a concussion, and built a 10-point halftime lead without its star quarterback. The Bruins’ offensive success didn’t carry over into the second half and their defense had a hard time containing Delton, saddling interim coach Jedd Fisch with a loss in his last game before Chip Kelly takes over the program. “We handled a ton of adversity this year and a ton of change,” Fisch said. “After the (USC) week, they continued to play as hard as possible.” Snyder turned around one of the nation’s worst programs after taking over in 1989, leading the Wildcats to eight straight bowl appearances after un-retiring in 2008. He says he has not decided whether he will return for a 27th season or retire again to spend time with his family. The 78-year-old coach made a quarterback change in the ﬁrst quarter of the Cactus Bowl after Thompson threw an interception. Delton had an immediate impact, bursting up the middle for a 68-yard touchdown run. Snyder opted to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1 in the third quarter, and Delton came through again, bulling his way through a massive pile — with some help from his teammates. Kansas State’s Denzel Goolsby recovered Bolu Olorunfunmi’s fumble at the Bruins 24-yard line on the next play from scrimmage, and Delton hit Dominique Heath for an 8-yard touchdown to give the Wildcats the lead. “That was possibly the play of the ballgame,” Snyder said. back over after a failed fake ﬁeld goal. The takeaway Duke: Other than the start of the second quarter, where they lost defensive focus on back-to-back possessions, the Blue Devils were in complete control. “They hit a couple big plays against us, and our offense stalled, so we made some adjustments,” Cutcliffe said. “We started passing the ball more, which is what we needed, and our defense started making plays.” Northern Illinois: The Huskies recovered from the disastrous ﬁrstquarter fake punt to get back into the game, but couldn’t stay with Duke on either side of the ball. “We were ﬂying around out there, trying to make plays, but we didn’t execute our game plan,” said safety Mycial Allen, who was playing in his hometown. “Duke came up with the big plays and we didn’t.” Taylor the latest star of Wisconsin’s running back assembly line MADISON, Wis. (AP) — No. 6 Wisconsin develops quality running backs as if it’s an automobile assembly line. A new version comes out every few years or so, but production rarely tails off. Freshman Jonathan Taylor is the latest star to emerge at Wisconsin (12-1), where the ground game traces its roots to the 1990s and Barry Alvarez’s days pacing the sideline as coach. “That’s ﬁrst of all our philosophy, is we’re going to be a physical team, we’re going to run the ball, be able to run the ball and it starts with the offensive line,” said Alvarez, now Wisconsin’s athletic director. “Backs, they want to come where they can run the ball.” The Big Ten’s leading rusher, Taylor also ranks third nationally at 142.1 yards per game. With 1,847 yards going into the Orange Bowl on Saturday against No. 11 Miami, Taylor needs 79 to break the major college rushing record for a freshman of 1,925 set by Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson in 2004. Boasting an impressive blend of power, speed and agility — especially for a freshman — Taylor went from starting training camp as an afterthought to becoming a ﬁnalist for the Doak Walker Award given to the nation’s best running back, an honor won by Stanford’s Bryce Love. Coach Paul Chryst has been especially impressed with how Taylor has stayed even-keeled as attention from defenses and the media mounted with each big game. “First it’s being able to do it, and then it’s to be able to do it consistently,” Chryst said recently. “He’s done a good job of staying in the moment and handling things as it comes.” Taylor’s success can be attributed just as much to an offensive line that has stayed relatively healthy and returned to the high standards of play across the front after Chryst spent two seasons developing young talent. �COMICS Daily Sentinel BLONDIE Thursday, December 28, 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 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� RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � � � � Having A Yard Sale?
