Our ultimate goal, which we plan on doing in the spring, is establishing an alumni association scholarship to give to at least one to two students who graduate from River Valley each year…Really the main thing is to bring the alumni and give them a place to be a part of and bring that pride back.” At the upcoming Friday homecoming game at RVHS, association members are anticipated to hold a kickoff event. A tent will be held pregame around 5:30 p.m. with information and applications. Hotdogs, chips and drinks will be available for free and inside the stadium beside the bleachers, a table will be available for alumni to ﬁnd. “Our ﬁrst class was 1993 and now we are all the way up to the latest,” said Whitt. “If you want to be a member, we’ll have all the information and can take your application…This will include all the classes back in the old River Valley building and into the new one as well. This is all classes back to River Valley’s beginning.” Whitt said the association would ideally have three to four alumni events a year. “We’re going to acknowledge the ﬁrst graduating class because they paved the way for everything to come after See RVHS | 5A �NEWS/OBITUARIES 2A Sunday, September 22, 2019 OBITUARIES WILLFORD SAN DIEGO — Craig Austin Willford, 29, of San Diego, Cal., died unexpectedly Monday, Sept. 16, 2019, at his home.

Biden reacted strongly late Friday, saying that if the reports are true, “then there is truly no bottom to President Trump’s willingness to abuse his power and abase our country.” He said Trump should release the transcript of his July phone conversation with Zelenskiy “so that the American people can judge for themselves.” The government’s intelligence inspector general has described the whistleblower’s Aug. 12 complaint as “serious” and “urgent.” But Trump dismissed it all Friday, insisting “it’s nothing.” He scolded reporters for asking about it and said it was “just another political hack job.” “I have conversations with many leaders. It’s always appropriate. Always appropriate,” Trump said. “At the high- est level always appropriate.

The president responded, “I really don’t know,” but he continued to insist any phone call he made with a head of state was “perfectly ﬁne and respectful.” Trump was asked Friday if he brought up Biden in the call with Zelenskiy, and he answered, “It doesn’t matter what I discussed.” But then he used the moment to urge the media “to look into” Biden’s background with Ukraine.

Demonstrations came in smaller cities as well. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who recently abandoned his climatefocused presidential run, addressed a rally in Spokane, and a crowd chanted inside the rotunda of the state Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. “It’s really unbelievable and really startling to know how little time we have to reverse the damage,” said Maris MaslowShields, a high school student from Santa Rosa, California, who marched in San Francisco. In Paris, teenagers and kids as young as 10 traded classrooms for the streets. MarieLou Sahai, 15, skipped school because “the only way to make people lis- ten is to protest.” The demonstrations were partly inspired by the activism of Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, who has staged weekly “Fridays for Future” demonstrations for a year, urging world leaders to step up efforts against climate change. “It’s such a victory,” Thunberg told The Associated Press in an interview in New York. “I would never have predicted or believed that this was going to happen, and so fast — and only in 15 months.” Thunberg spoke at a rally later Friday and was expected to participate in a U.N. Youth Climate Summit on Saturday and speak at the U.N. Climate Action Summit with global leaders on Monday. “They have this opportunity to do something, and they should take that,” she said. “And otherwise, they should feel ashamed.” Cutter: $35.30-$45.00; Bred Cows: $365.00$700.00 Comm & Utility: $48.00 - $58.50; Canner/ Cutter: $45.50-$46.00 $25.00 (per head) Telephone: 740-446-2342 A companion publication of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune and Times Daily Sentinel.

Several people approached me, both online and in person, to discuss my column, and I want to deﬁnitely thank everyone for their kind words and for asking questions. But for those who called me brave for writing it: I’m not. I’ve struggled with mental illness for most of my life, but when I went away for university, things got bad. In the ﬁrst three weeks of classes, I had several panic attacks. They were caused by my unrealistic expectations for my design work as well as domestic violence triggers in one of my writing classes. But I had an amazing support system. My friends listened to me and didn’t brush aside my anxiety. When I continued to have panic McKenzie attacks, my roommate took me to Caldwell sign up for counseling. I’d never Contributing been to counseling before that. I columnist was afraid to ask to go to counseling when I was in middle school and high school because I didn’t want my parents to know that I was struggling with suicidal thoughts. I suspected I had depression, but I also worried I was just blowing things out of proportion. When I started counseling in college, the main focus was on anxiety and posttraumatic stress from an abusive relationship. A majority of my friends, including my roommate, were also going to counseling on the same day of the week, so we created Mental Health Tuesdays, where we would sit in my dorm’s common area and discuss our counseling sessions. It was one of the purest support systems I’ve ever had. And then my roommate completed suicide. And I found her. I started isolating myself. I refused to switch rooms because our dorm room was home, but I also refused to sleep there. The counselor I’d been seeing before my roommate’s death told me he couldn’t see me anymore because he wasn’t equipped to deal with the amount of trauma I was facing, so I started seeing the head counselor. I still wasn’t used to talking to people about my mental health, let alone serious trauma, and within a few months or so, I’d apparently convinced the head counselor that I was ﬁne because she asked during one session if I still needed counseling. Meanwhile, I was planning my own suicide. I felt guilty for my roommate’s death, and I’d essentially destroyed most of my friendships. I was considering breaking up with my boyfriend, so he would hate me and be less sad when I completed suicide. I had a plan, I had intent, and I had a date: my 19th birthday. I started writing letters to the people I cared for, saving my parents for last. I kept telling myself that if I actually wrote goodbye letters to my parents, then I really was going to do it. I never wrote letters to my parents. Instead, for my birthday, my then-boyfriend took me to a cat museum. I was still sad and still experiencing suicidal thoughts, but my birthday came and went, and I didn’t kill myself. I put away the journal that detailed my plans and contained my letters for my friends, and I didn’t touch it again for three years. I’d love to tell you that I’m cured, but that would be a lie. Mental health is always a work in progress. In the last four years, I’ve been to about ﬁve different counselors, four psych nurses (who prescribe medication) and an in-patient mental health facility. I’m still trying to ﬁnd the medication that makes me feel like a real person with enough energy to get through the day without a nap. I still go to counseling because I still suffer from PTSD episodes related to my roommate’s death. I’m still ﬁghting the suicidal thoughts because I’ve seen what happens in the wake of a suicide, and now that I have that knowledge, the depressive version of me cannot convince me that no one will care if I die, that no one will miss me, that if I complete suicide, no one will be affected. Mental health is hard, and it can be frustrating and discouraging to know that there’s currently no cure or end in sight for my mental illness. But as long as I’m here, I may as well try to help as many people as I can through kindness and a refusal to stop talking about mental health and mental illness. Talking about mental health doesn’t feel brave. It does not make me any braver or stronger than someone who isn’t ready — and maybe never will feel ready — to talk about mental health. But for me, it’s necessary. If you’re having suicidal thoughts and need to talk, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text “HOME” to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741. If you think you’re in danger of harming yourself, please go to the emergency room to be evaluated. McKenzie Caldwell is a reporter at The Times-Gazette.

Over the past month, I have traveled around Ohio meeting with workers and talking to them about how we can empower workers and make sure they have a seat at the table, as technology changes the way many companies do business. No matter how technology changes, companies will still need human beings to oversee that technology – Ohio workers will always be our greatest resource. But right now, too many workers get left behind when companies adopt new technology – that’s why last week a similar job at I introduced the another company.

All work has dignity, and when technology changes the way we work, we have a responsibility to ensure workers aren’t left behind. We cannot accept that the future of work means lower pay, less job security, and fewer workplace protections. Sherrod Brown is a U.S. senator, representing Ohio.

Thought for Today: “Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.” �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, September 22, 2019 5A Trump says he hosted Otto Warmbier’s parents WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he and ﬁrst lady Melania Trump hosted family and friends of former hostage Otto Warmbier at the White House last weekend. The president says 25 people were invited last Saturday to honor Warmbier. His parents say their son was tortured by North Korea after being convicted of trying to steal a propaganda poster and imprisoned for months. The 22-yearold suffered severe brain damage and died days after being returned to the U.S. in a vegetative state in 2017. Trump says previous administrations Charges should have tried to move faster to get him released. The president says that when it comes to getting hostages back home, the U.S. must move very quickly, and in the case of Warmbier, it was too late. From page 1A The victim in the case testiﬁed about the acts which Hess allegedly committed against her, giving details of the encounters. She described an incident on her birthday, in a truck on the way to church and another in a camper where Hess resided. During her testimony, recordings of interviews from 2015 and 2018 conducted with the victim by the Child Protection Center were played by the defense. Defense Attorney Britt Wiseman used the videos in an attempt to show that the victim had changed her story over time, ﬁrst stating in 2015 that no one had touched her inappropriately, and then in 2018 when she spoke more of alleged encounters with another family member who has also been charged in a separate case. Prosecutor James K. Stanley said following the verdict that he was “disappointed not to get the conviction on the three rapes, but was glad to have gotten the convictions they did.” “I am very proud of the victim in this case,” said Stanley. “She was brave and courageous to get up there and tell a room full of strangers what happened.” Hess took to the stand in his own defense during the trial, denying the allegations made against him by the victim. While on the witness stand, Stanley was permitted to ask Hess about his 2009 conviction which Kayla Hawthorne | Photos Reenactors taking part in the unveiling included (left to right) Bicentennial Ambassadors and committee members in attendance Seth Argabright, Joe Barnhart, Quentin Smith, Isaac Mills, and at the unveiling of the ninth marker are pictured at the ceremony.

Given this transition in careers, he was asked what is more difﬁcult, being a teacher or an astronaut? “They both have their challenges…it was a big transition for me (going from being an astronaut to teaching),” he said. “When teaching I don’t have to worry about the pressure of (having enough) oxygen or if the propulsion system is working,” he joked. “It was a huge transition but I’ve made a number of them over the course of my career.” Reisman talked about the “panic” a person can feel when taking a new career path and referred to “the imposter syndrome.” He said there were times he felt like an imposter when giving a lecture for the ﬁrst time, putting on a ﬂight suit or running sophisticated programs, though his training prepared him for these various paths. “That’s common (that imposter syndrome) and that will happen and be uncomfortable but eventually goes way…eventually you get good at it (this new path) and no longer feel like an imposter anymore but it takes time,” he said of the hard work and persistence that follows. Reisman is also in a select group of people who have been able to look at Earth from space and said what impressed him most about that view is how thin the atmosphere was, “it looks incredibly fragile.” He said it drove home for him the importance of taking care of the planet. As for something about Reisman most people don’t know, he said, “I was a lousy Cub Scout, I never even make it to Boy Scouts. I failed out of Webelos.” Despite this early exposure to failure in life, Reisman took it in stride and recently found himself giving lessons to actor Brad Pitt on how to ﬂy a “fake spaceship” or at least look realistic while trying. Reisman was a consultant on the new ﬁlm “Ad Astra,” and added, Pitt caught on and did well. “Bossard Library is pleased to partner with the Gallia-Vinton Educational Service Center to provide the opportunity for the public to hear Dr. Reisman’s presentation, as he shares his amazing experiences in the space program,” Debbie Saunders, library director, said. “It is our hope that people of all ages will enjoy his presentation and that his words will spark an interest in attendees to want to learn more about NASA and all things relating to space. His presentation will perfectly compliment the Space exhibition currently on display at the Library now through January 5, 2020.” Saunders also noted, as children have experienced the exhibit, “we hear comments from some of them about their career aspirations, with some of them even noting an interest in becoming aerospace engineers. If hearing from Dr. Reisman’s experience and/or attending the exhibition can plant the seed in all these students to follow their dreams and ‘reach for the stars,’ then the goal of these types of events will be fulﬁlled.” Reisman said he hopes those who hear him speak leave with a better awareness of what’s gong on in the recent past and near future in space exploration, “but more important, I hope at least I reach some kid out there that gets inspired and the lessons I learned can help them with whatever they want to do, whether they want to be an astronaut, or doctor, or scientist, and even a dancer, whatever it might be, whatever their dreams are, just let them know dreams do come true, it is possible and they shouldn’t be discouraged.” For more information on Reisman, visit www.

Also testifying in the case was Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce Investigator Michael Oliver who conducted the investigation in the case, as well as an interviewer and doctor from the Child Protection Center in Chillicothe who interviewed and examined the victim following the allegations. Stanley said he will ask for the maximum sentence of seven years in prison when sentencing takes place. Hess will also be required to remain a registered sex offender as a result of the verdict. Hess was already a Tier I sex offender following a 2009 conviction for gross sexual imposition in Morrow County. According to state records, Hess was released from prison in the spring of 2013 on that conviction. The allegations in the current case for which he was convicted took place as early as November 2013. Hess still has the possibility of being found to be a “sexually violent predator” when he is sentenced next week, according to Stanley. If the judge were to ﬁnd that Hess is a sexually violent predator then the possible sentence on the gross sexual imposition charges would be a minimum of two years and a maximum sentence of life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24 in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Jeff Warner 113 West 2nd Street .

Ohio Filmmaker Seth Breedlove and colleagues returned to the festival Friday evening for a showing of their recent works, “Momo: The Missouri Monster” and “Terror in the Skies.” They are often recognized as the creators of Small Town Monster documentaries. The team is recognized for having made documentaries around “The Flatwoods Monster: A Legacy of Fear,” “The Beast of Whitehall,” and “The Mothman of Point Pleasant.” Hailing originally from Bolivar, Ohio, Breedlove said he was a newspaper reporter for eight years before making ﬁlms. “Where I grew up in Bolivar, Ohio, everything was Ohio Valley so this area (Point Pleasant) isn’t new to me. Point Pleasant always feels like home when I come here,” the ﬁlmmaker said. “Then in 2014, I decided to do a documentary with some buddies about the Minerva Monster from Minvera which was near where I grew up,” said Breedlove. “We decided to cover stories in that area and turned it into a documentary. On a regional scale, it did fairly well and made enough money so we could ﬂip it into doing more of these types of movies.” Breedlove said he and his colleagues had continued with their work and were in the midst of speaking with devel- Beth Sergent | OVP Beth Sergent | OVP Ohio Filmmaker Seth Breedlove and colleagues returned to the Mothman Festival Friday evening for a showing of their recent works, “Momo: The Missouri Monster” and “Terror in the Skies.” Audiences fill the Historic State Theater on Friday night to screen “Momo: The Missouri Monster,” as part of the kick-off event for the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant.

Regardless of what happens with the television show, we’ll continue working on the independent side of Small Town Monsters.” When asked how he decided to enter ﬁlmmaking and research on cryptids, the ﬁlmmaker said he wished he had a unique story for how he began. “I always say I wish I had a cool story for this but I don’t,” said Breedlove. “I’ve never seen anything or experienced anything out of the unusual that got me into it. It’s honestly just a curiosity about the unknown…Getting into interviewing witnesses and stuff, that comes from ﬁnding out that there were Bigfoot sightings near the town that I grew up in and interviewing some of the people that claimed to have seen something.

Blue Devils wear down Chesapeake, 55-27 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Once the Blue Devils stopped shooting themselves in the foot, they had no trouble sprinting to the ﬁnish line. The Gallia Academy football team overcame two red zone fumbles in the second quarter and broke away from a 14-all tie by reeling off 41 consecutive points before cruising to a 55-27 victory over visiting Chesapeake in the Ohio Valley Conference opener for both programs at Memorial Field in the Old French City. The Blue Devils (4-0, 1-0 OVC) began a successful defense of their 2018 outright league title by never trailing in the contest, but the hosts did let a few opportunities slip through their ﬁngers along the way. After building a 7-6 ﬁrst quarter advantage with a third-and-goal situation at the CHS 1, the Blue and White fumbles the ball away on the opening play of the second canto. Luckily, the Panthers (2-2, 0-1) were unable to do anything with the takeaway outside of punting the ball back to Gallia Academy. Both teams traded scores on their ensuing drives — with the Purple and White tying things up at 14-all after a 5-yard run from Kamren Harless and a successful 2-point conversion run by Donald Richendollar with 4:53 Gallia Academy junior quarterback Noah Vanco (5) avoids pressure while looking to deliver a pass during the first half of Friday’s OVC football contest against Chesapeake at Memorial Field in Gallipolis, Ohio.c remaining in the half. GAHS followed by marching the ball down to the Chesapeake nine before a bad snap thwarted the drive. The Blue Devil defense, however, forced a punt that ultimately ended up getting blocked by junior Coen Duncan — giving the hosts the ball at the CHS 22. James Armstrong took a handoff on the ﬁrst and only play of the ensuing drive and rumbled 22 yards to paydirt, giving Gallia Academy what proved to be a permanent lead at 21-14 with 1:29 remaining until halftime. The Panthers actually outgained the hosts by a mere three yards (210207) in total offense at the break, but Gallia Academy held a 13-10 edge in ﬁrst downs and a 60-56 advantage in passing yards. Both teams also committed two turnovers apiece in the ﬁrst half. The second half didn’t start much better for the Blue and White as they committed their third and ﬁnal turnover after fumbling the ball away two plays into the third period. Chesapeake strung together an 11-play drive that started at the GAHS 42, but the guests were eventually stopped inches short on a fourth-and-one at the 11-yard line. Four plays and 89 yards later, the Blue Devils had doubled their lead as Briar Williams hauled in a 45-yard pass from Noah Vanco at the 5:03 mark for 28-14 advantage. Chesapeake was forced to punt on its next possession, and the hosts needed only three plays to cover 48 yards as Armstrong capped the drive with a 2-yard TD run for a 35-14 cushion at the 2:10 mark.

CHS recovered the following kickoff at the Gallia Academy 3-yard line, then Nida converted a 3-yard run at the 5:08 mark while pulling the contest back to within 55-27. The ﬁrst fumble recovery by Meadows also allowed GAHS to secure an early lead as the Panthers fumbled the ball away on the second offesnive play of the game. The hosts covered 33 yards in ﬁve plays as Michael Beasy broke a 15-yard run for a 7-0 edge with 9:38 left in the opening quarter. Chesapeake answered with a 9-play, 65-yard drive that ended with an option pitch to Harless from 10 yards out around the left side. The extra-point kick, however, went under the cross bar, making it a 7-6 contest with 6:02 left in the opening frame. The difference in the game came in the second half, with the Blue Devils outgaining Chesapeake by a whopping 302-66 overall margin in total yards.

The hosts also defeated Chesapeake for the third consecutive season. Afterwards, GAHS coach Alex Penrod acknowledged that his team didn’t start as well as he had hoped — but he sure was proud of the way his troops ﬁnished. “It was one of those games where you come out excited because you are 3-0 and you’re starting league play, but it seemed like we just didn’t have that feel of conﬁdence and swagger. We just didn’t come out with much of an attitude on the defensive side,” Penrod said. “We are just one of those units on both sides of the ball where we are going to get you in the second half. We trusted the process because we know teams are going to get some plays, but we are going to play four quarters and work that to our advantage. Our defense stepped it up there in the second half by making some plays and forcing some turnovers … and that proved to be the difference.” The Blue Devils claimed a 349-220 advantage in rushing yards on 11 fewer attempts, plus had 104 more passing yards by night’s end.

Dalton expects cooler reception in latest visit to Buffalo ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Andy Dalton fondly recalls the warm welcome he received a little over a year ago, when the Bengals traveled to Buffalo for a preseason game. The Cincinnati quarterback drew several ovations after winning over Bills fans’ hearts for his last-minute touchdown to beat Baltimore in the 2017 season ﬁnale. The Ravens’ 31-27 loss propelled Buffalo into the postseason and snapped the team’s 17-year playoff drought. Dalton knows better than to listen for any cheers in facing the Bills (2-0) in Buffalo’s home opener Sunday. “Ha, ha, no,” Dalton said with a healthy chuckle. “I’m not expecting the same kind of ovation I got last time.” Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes has made a point of personally informing Dalton that won’t happen. “It was such a big moment in our franchise’s history and everything the fans did for him, which is really cool,” Hughes said, recalling watching Dalton hit Tyler Boyd for a 49-yard touchdown pass to convert a fourth-and-12 with 49 seconds left against Baltimore. “But we understand, and I tell him this every time I see him back in Texas, when we get on the football ﬁeld, it’s gotime.” And Hughes is speaking as Dalton’s long-time friend, after the two grew up in Houston and were college teammates at TCU. Buffalo is on a roll in opening the season with two road wins, both at the Meadowlands, and in position to enjoy its ﬁrst 3-0 start since 2011. The Bills defense has allowed just 22 points — not including an interception returned for a touchdown and safety in a 17-16 season-opening win against the Jets. And their new-look offense under second-year quarterback Josh Allen is ﬁnding its rhythm after engineering four 70-plusyard touchdown drives in a 28-14 win over the Giants last weekend. The Bengals (0-2) are still trying to ﬁnd their identity under rookie coach Zac Taylor.

The Southern volleyball team maintained its spot atop the league standings on Thursday night with a 25-16, 25-19, 17-25, 25-22 victory over host Trimble in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest in Athens County. The Lady Tornadoes (8-5, 6-2 TVC Hocking) entered Thursday’s match tied with Waterford atop the league standings, and the guests did more than enough to assure that they left THS in a similar fashion. The Purple and Gold fell behind 10-5 early on in Game 1, but they responded with a 6-1 run that left the opener tied at 11-all. After SHS broke serve for a permanent lead at 12-11, the guests responded with ﬁve straight points and took their biggest lead at 17-11.

THS managed to knot things up at 15-all, but the Lady Tornadoes broke away with seven straight points and ultimately cruised to a 6-point win and a 2-0 match edge. The Lady Tomcats never trailed in Game 3 after storming out to early leads of 4-0 and 12-5 and eventually reached double digits at 18-8. SHS managed to close back to within 24-17 before Trimble broke serve to wrap up the 8-point win while closing the match status to within 2-1. THS built a quick 2-0 lead in Game 4, but the guests rallied with six straight points and never trailed again. Leading 18-16, Southern reeled off ﬁve straight points that provided some breathing room at 23-16. The hosts managed to close back to within 24-22 before SHS broke serve to end the 3-1 match outcome with a 3-point decision. Cassidy Roderus led the Southern service attack with 24 points and Sydney Adams was next with 10 points, while Phoenix Cleland and Jordan Hardwick followed with six points apiece. Kassie Barton and Kayla Evans added two points each, with Baylee Wolfe rounding out the winning tally with one point. Roderus also led the guests with three service aces.

(AP) — Two straight losses to open the year, a season-ending injury to the franchise quarterback, and a West Coast trip to face an undefeated team all add up to many people writing off the Pittsburgh Steelers before the end of September. That’s just the way coach Mike Tomlin likes it. “I don’t care about many people’s eyes and things of that nature, man,” he said. “We’re used to living in the eye of the storm in this business at this level. I do enjoy the challenges and interception that came off a tipped pass. Rudolph said he was ready for his moment even if he hadn’t even gotten on the ﬁeld in his ﬁrst 17 games as a pro. “There have been — Mason Rudolph plenty of quarterbacks who hadn’t played immediately. I was encouraged by that,” he Rudolph, a thirdround pick out of Okla- said. “I tried to have a long-term mentality and homa State in 2018, understand that hopefulbeat out Josh Dobbs during training camp to ly we play in this game be the primary backup. a long time. And as long He played well last week as I am ready for my opportunity, that’s kind during a half of work of all that matters.” against Seattle, comWhile the message for pleting 12 of 19 passes the Steelers is hope isn’t for 112 yards with two lost despite the rough touchdowns and an the adversity that the game presents, so from that standpoint it does create a sense of urgency that’s a good fuel. But in terms of perceptions and what people are saying outside our organization, it would be tough for me to care less.” The Steelers (0-2) are counting on that urgency to make up for the loss of Ben Roethlisberger to an elbow injury and help Mason Rudolph succeed in his ﬁrst career start when Pittsburgh takes on San Francisco (2-0) in the 49ers’ home opener on Sunday. “There have been plenty of quarterbacks who hadn’t played immediately. I was encouraged by that.” start to the season, the 49ers are trying to avoid complacency after opening the season with double-digit wins at Tampa Bay and Cincinnati. It has been rare success for a team that took until December to win its second game in coach Kyle Shanahan’s ﬁrst season in 2017 and until November last year. “I think our team is smart enough and knows the deal. There’s not one person in our building, at least that I’ve noticed, that feels like we’ve arrived by any means,” Shanahan said.

The Browns were undisciplined in Week 1, committing 18 penalties and allowing the Titans to score 28 unanswered points in the second half. Cleveland cleaned things up considerably against the Jets, but quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld had his second straight shaky performance and the Browns suffered a couple son opener to Tennessee by bullying the New York Jets, who were already missing quarterback Sam Darnold when his replacement, Trevor Simiean, went down with a season-ending injury.

EURZVH�MREV��SRVW�\RXU�UHVXPH��JHW�DGYLFH jobmatchohio.com �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Antonio Brown cut by Patriots amid sexual misconduct claims during the morning that the team was looking into “some things,” then cut off his news conference when reporters continued to ask about Brown. Asked if he expected Brown to play in Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, Belichick said, “He’s on the roster.” About ﬁve hours later, he wasn’t. “It’s unfortunate things didn’t work out with the Patriots,” Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus tweeted. “But Antonio is healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL. He wants to play the game he loves and he hopes to play for another team soon.” The NFL said it will continue to investigate Brown’s behavior, as it has with stars like Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt and lesser players who have run afoul of the personal conduct policy — whether or not they were convicted of a crime, or even charged. The league said in a statement late Friday that Brown could be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list if he is signed by another team and could also be suspended once the investigation concludes, casting doubt on whether he will play again this season. “We have as yet made no ﬁndings regarding these issues,” the statement said. “Upon the conclusion of the investigation, he may also be subject to discipline if the investigation ﬁnds that he has violated the law or league policies.” Brown has been sued by former trainer Britney Taylor, who claimed Brown raped or sexually assaulted her on three occasions. Although the lawsuit became public last week, Brown practiced with the Patriots, then played on Sunday in a 43-0 rout of Miami, scoring a touchdown. Taylor had a lengthy meeting with the NFL this week. The AP does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, but Taylor was identiﬁed in the federal lawsuit and was quoted in a statement provided by her lawyer. According to a Sports Illustrated story, a second woman, who as a victim of sexual harassment is not being identiﬁed, was working at Brown’s home when she turned around to ﬁnd him standing there naked except for a small towel covering his genitals. After the article ran, the magazine reported, the woman “received what she characterized as intimidating texts” from Brown that included pictures of her children. “She received a group text message that appeared to come from the same phone number Brown provided to her in 2017,” the magazine said. “The person she believes is Brown encouraging others in the group to investigate the woman. The texter accused the artist of fabricating her account of the 2017 incident for cash.” ‘Hopalong’ Cassady, OSU Heisman winner, dies at 85 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Howard “Hopalong” Cassady, the 1955 Heisman Trophy winner at Ohio State and running back for the Detroit Lions, died Friday. He was 85. He died in Tampa, Florida, his longtime home, the university said. “We’ve lost not only a legendary Buckeye, but also a wonderful person in Hop Cassady,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement. “He was an all-time great Buckeye in every way.” Cassady also played baseball at Ohio State and was a longtime coach in the New York Yankees organization. It was the late owner and friend George Steinbrenner who was the ﬁrst to tell Cassady he had won the Heisman. “I had gotten word from my friends and told him not to get too big of a head but you’re gonna win the Heisman,” Steinbrenner was quoted as saying. Cassady was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979. When he left Ohio State he held school records for career rushing yards, all-purpose yards and scoring. “In those days if I had 100 yards in the ﬁrst half I wouldn’t play in the second half,” Cassady said during a 2001 interview with The Associated Press. “It wasn’t until after Woody started to dominate that he tried to get his players recognition.” Cassady, whose No. 40 jersey number was retired by Ohio State in 2001, didn’t need help getting recognized. He was nicknamed “Hopalong” by local sports writers in his ﬁrst game when he scored three touchdowns in a 33-13 win over Indiana and “hopped all over the ﬁeld like the performing cowboy.” It was an ode to the movie actor Hopalong Cassidy, the cowboy star of the 1950s who would pose with the football star for a memorable photo at the 1955 Rose Bowl. The Columbus native was a four-year starter and letter winner and a two-time consensus All-American for the Buckeyes. He rushed for 2,466 yards and scored 37 touchdowns in his 36 games at Ohio State.

(AP) — Antonio Brown was released by the New England Patriots on Friday after a second woman accused him of sexual misconduct — the third team in seven months to tire of the off-ﬁeld behavior that has overshadowed his accomplishments as one of the NFL’s most proliﬁc receivers for a decade. The defending Super Bowl champions announced the move in a statement emailed to reporters, three minutes after Brown posted on Twitter: “Thank you for the opportunity Patriots #GoWinIt.” Already facing a civil suit claiming that he raped a former trainer, Brown was accused in a Sports Illustrated story published on Monday of exposing himself to an artist he hired to paint a mural at his home. He has denied both allegations. But the Patriots cut ties with the four-time All-Pro after just one game. The statement attributed to “a Patriots spokesperson” said, in its entirety: “The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown. We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time.” Patriots coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady both avoided questions about Brown during their scheduled media availability Friday, a few hours before Brown was released.
