POMEROY — If you have problems sleeping and are up often during the night, you may be at increased risk for potentially dangerous falls. Sleep problems, and the medications used to treat them, may increase the risk of falls. According to doctors, almost all medicines to promote sleep should be used only for a short time. Their side effects can include dizziness and daytime drowsiness. It is important to talk with your doctor about the safe use of all medicines and supplements you take, including those that help you sleep. Good sleep habits can improve your health and decrease your risk of falls.

As part of the 2019 Target: BP Recognition Program, AHA and AMA celebrated Holzer as one of 1,183 physician practices and health systems recognized nationwide for their commitment to help patients improve blood pressure control. According to a press release from Holzer, launched in 2015, Target: BP is a national initiative between the AHA and AMA aimed at addressing the growing burden of high blood pressure in the U.S. The initiative aims to help health care organizations improve blood pressure control rates through use of the AMA’s evidence-based M.A.P. quality improvement program, and recognizes organizations committed to improving blood pressure control. This year’s Recognition Program recognized organizations representing 29.8 million adult patients, with more than 8 million patients diagnosed with hypertension, across 46 states and territories. “Holzer has had great success over the last three years improving and addressing patients with high blood pressure. Receiving recognition as a Gold Practice of Distinction helps to solidify the efforts that we have made to improve the health of our patients,” said Matt Mossburg, director, Population Health Services, Holzer Health System. According to the press release, there are 116 million U.S. adults living with high blood pressure, the nation’s number one risk factor for heart attack and stroke, and less than half have it controlled to target rising risk of high blood pressure and improve health outcomes for patients across the nation.” “Collaboration is key to managing high blood pressure,” said AHA President Robert Harrington, MD, FAHA. “When doctors, clinics, patients and organizations like the American Heart Association and American Medical Association are all working towards the same goal, we have the opportunity for great success. We are pleased to be a part of the success of so many practices – and so many patients – in reducing Courtesy photo high blood pressure and Pictured are Alice Luse, vice president of Community Health, American Heart Association, Columbus, improving health.” and Vicky Brown, LPN, clinical application analyst, Population Health Management, Holzer Health Holzer Health System, System. along with all other practices and health systems control,” said AMA level.

The 86-year-old Ginsburg climbed the three steps and took her seat for a brief court session Monday. She was absent when the justices last met in public, to hear arguments on Wednesday. Ginsburg has been treated for cancer twice in the past year, including receiving radiation for a tumor on her pancreas over the summer. She missed court sessions in January during her recovery from lung cancer surgery. Those were her first absences from court arguments in a quarter-century as a justice. Associated Press WASHINGTON — Nine witnesses. Five hearings. Three days. The Trump impeachment inquiry is charging into a crucial week as Americans hear from some of the most important witnesses closest to the White House in back-to-back-to-back live sessions. Among them, Ambassador Gordon Sondland, the wealthy donor whose routine boasting about his proximity to Donald Trump is now bringing the investigation to the president’s doorstep. The witnesses all are testifying under penalty of perjury, and Sondland already has had to amend his earlier account amid contradicting testimony from other current and former U.S. officials. White House insiders, including an Army officer and National Security Council aide, will launch the week’s hearings Tuesday. It’s a pivotal time as the House’s historic inquiry accelerates and deepens. Democrats say Trump demanded that Ukraine investigate his Democratic rivals in return for U.S. military aid it needed to resist Russian aggression and that may be grounds for removing the 45th president. Trump says he did no such thing and the Democrats are just out to get him any way they can. On Monday, Trump said he was considering an invitation from Speaker Nancy Pelosi to provide his own account to the House, possibly by submitting written testimony. That would be an unprecedented moment in this constitutional showdown between the two branches of U.S. government. Trump tweeted: “Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!” A ninth witness, David Holmes, a State Department official IN BRIEF Museum adds art by women J. Scott Applewhite | AP Mark Sandy, a career employee in the White House Office of Management and Budget, arrives Saturday at the Capitol in Washington to testify in the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry about President Donald Trump’s effort to tie military aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents. who overheard Trump talking about the investigations on a phone call with Sondland while the ambassador was at a restaurant in Kyiv, was a late addition Monday. He is scheduled to close out the week Thursday. Tuesday’s sessions at the House Intelligence Committee will start with Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an Army officer at the National Security Council, and Jennifer Williams, his counterpart at Vice President Mike Pence’s office. Both are foreign policy experts who listened with concern as Trump spoke on July 25 with the newly elected Ukraine president. A government whistleblower’s complaint about that call led the House to launch the impeachment investigation. Vindman and Williams say they were uneasy as Trump talked to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy about investigations of potential 2020 political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Vindman reported the call to NSC lawyers. Williams found it “unusual” and inserted the White House’s readout of it in Pence’s briefing book. “I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen,” said Vindman, a wounded Iraq War veteran. He said there was “no doubt” what Trump wanted. Pence’s role remains unclear. “I just don’t know if he read it,” Williams testified in a closeddoor House interview. Vindman also lodged concerns about Sondland. He relayed details from an explosive July 10 meeting at the White House when the ambassador pushed visiting Ukraine officials for the investigations Trump wanted. “He was talking about the 2016 elections and an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma,” Vindman testified, referring to the gas company in Ukraine where Hunter Biden served on the board. Burisma is what Tim Morrison, a former official at the National Security Council, who will testify later Tuesday referred to as a “bucket of issues” -- the Bidens, Democrats, investigations -- he had tried to “stay away” from. Along with former special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, their accounts further complicate Sondland’s testimony and characterize Trump as more central to the action. Sondland met with a Zelenskiy aide on the sidelines of a Sept. 1 gathering in Warsaw, and Morrison, who was watching the encounter from across the room, testified that the ambassador told him moments later he pushed the Ukrainian for the Burisma investigation as a way for Ukraine to gain access to the military funds. Volker provided investigators with a package of text messages with Sondland and another diplomat, William Taylor, the charge d’affaires in Ukraine, who grew alarmed at the linkage of the investigations to the aid. Taylor, who testified publicly last week, called that “crazy.” Republicans are certain to mount a more aggressive attack on all the witnesses as the inquiry reaches closer into the White House and they try to protect Trump. The president wants to see a robust defense by his GOP allies on Capitol Hill, but so far they have offered a changing strategy as the fast-moving probe spills into public view. Republicans first complained the witnesses were offering only hearsay, without firsthand knowledge of Trump’s actions. But as more witnesses come forward bringing testimony closer to Trump, they now say the president is innocent because the military money was eventually released. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, during an appearance Monday in Louisville, Kentucky, acknowledged the House will likely vote to impeach the president. BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Museum of Art will add only artwork created by women to its permanent collection in 2020. Museum director Christopher Bedford announced the policy Thursday, saying something radical must be done to rectify centuries of imbalance. The Maryland museum acquired its first work by a female artist in 1916, two years after it was founded and three years before women gained the right to vote in the U.S. Today, only 4% of the 95,000 pieces in its permanent collection were created by women. News outlets report each of the museum’s exhibits will be strongly tied to women. Nineteen will showcase art solely by women, including at least one transgender artist. Bedford says the museum is working to “correct our own canon” and address historical blind spots. Broadband to be expanded BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — A groundbreaking has been held on Facebook’s plan to expand broadband internet in West Virginia. Gov. Jim Justice, U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito and others attended a ceremony Monday in Beckley. Facebook is building a fiber optic cable network in a portion of West Virginia through a subsidiary, Middle Mile Infrastructure. The New River Project is part of the company’s larger efforts to install cable from Virginia to Ohio through the Kanawha Valley.

Justice orders records delay WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts is ordering an indefinite delay in the House of Representatives’ demand for President Donald Trump’s financial records to give the Supreme Court time to figure out how to handle the high-stakes dispute. Roberts’ order Monday contains no hint about what the court ultimately will do. The court’s hold could last a matter of days or weeks, if the court is willing to let an appeals court ruling in favor of the House remain in place without granting full review of the case. But the delay could extend for months if the justices decide they need to hear arguments and issue a written opinion. �Opinion 4 Tuesday, November 19, 2019 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Getting needed justice for the ‘Buckskin Girl’ “I called the FBI this afternoon,” I casually told my husband, some months ago. “You did what … why?” he responded-not-so casually. “It’s regarding the ‘Buckskin Girl.’ I read a newspaper article this morning about a serial killer named Samuel Little. His M.O. for murdering women somewhat matches the description of how she died. I left all Christina the information on their voicemail.” entire nation has been rocked Claypool byOur Little’s shocking story, since he Contributing has confessed to 93 murders while columnist serving a life prison sentence for several of the deaths. From 1970-2005, Little alleges to having strangled his victims, and then documented their deaths with hand-drawn portraits. “FBI crime analysts believe all of Little’s 93 confessions are credible, but so far they’ve only been able to verify 50 of them,” reported a recent CNN article. Early in October, the FBI dubbed the 79-year-old incarcerated man, “the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history.” Now, the FBI is soliciting the public’s help in identifying some of the unaccounted for victims, because they deserve justice. Maybe justice is why the Buckskin Girl’s story has haunted me, ever since I moved to Troy, Ohio. To explain, she was a 21-year-old murder victim whose body was found in Miami County on Greenlee Road off of State Route 55 — not far from the I-75 exit. When the deceased young woman was discovered on April 24, 1981, she was “… wearing bellbottom blue jeans, a brown turtleneck sweater … and a handmade tan buckskin pullover jacket with leather fringe around the seams and a deep purple lining,” according to an (archived) Troy Daily News article by editor Melody Vallieu from April 12, 2018. “An autopsy concluded she was strangled to death, but also suffered blunt-force trauma to her head and also had a lacerated liver,” reported Vallieu. For almost four decades no one knew who the victim was. Local law enforcement kept the tragic case open, but it remained unsolved. The anonymous girl was given her infamous nickname, because of the coat she had on. In some strange way, there are folks like myself in the Troy area who seemed to have claimed her. The “Buckskin girl” was buried in Troy’s Riverside Cemetery with the headstone, “Jane Doe,” and the date of death, April 22, 1981. One reason I’ve been personally tied to her case is due to the tenacity of the “old” reporter who lives inside of me. Another reason is because I’m also a mother, concerned about her family never knowing what happened to her. Most importantly though, her senseless brutal death cries out for justice. To some folks, last year’s front page story, “‘Buckskin Girl’ identified” by Editor Vallieu sent ripples of relief regarding the case throughout the tight-knit community. Aided by the advance in DNA technology, the DNA Doe Project positively confirmed “Jane Doe” was in reality Marcia L. Sossoman (King) 21, of Arkansas. In the past, when I contemplated the fate of the Buckskin Girl, sometimes I would pray for law enforcement to be given some divine assistance. It sure seemed rather miraculous to find out who she was 37 years later. Now, if only the same kind of miracle could happen regarding finding her murderer. That’s when I read about Samuel Little confessing to killing a Cincinnati woman named Anna Stewart in 1981. He dumped the 33-year-old mother of three’s body in Grove City, Ohio. The 1981 murder places Little in Ohio during the same year Sossoman (King) was killed. All those months ago, I had to call the FBI wondering about a possible link between her murder and Little’s killing spree. There was no sexual assault, as was Little’s M.O. because he found strangling his victims a perverse form of sexual release. Although the “Buckskin girl’s” liver was lacerated and Little didn’t use weapons. Besides, Little admittedly went after prostitutes and drug addicts, women he thought no one would miss. Marcia Sossoman (King) with good hygiene, dental care, and a mother who waited for her in the same house for 37 years, doesn’t seem to fit that description either. But one thing is for sure, someone murdered the “Buckskin Girl” and she deserves justice. All of Little’s victims deserve justice, too!

We are now perched on the cusp of our annual mega-shopping season. In the few weeks before Christmas there is more than just a chill in the air — there is often a feeling of desperation, bordering on panic, as shoppers scramble to get the perfect gift for each person on their shopping list. I think I’ve seen the “perfect gift” only one time in my life. You can be sure I bought it. Several years ago, Debbie and I were shopping in our local Walmart. I know it was at least 15 years ago because Amanda was riding in the shopping cart. Several items had already been dropped into the basket, but we were apparently far from done. The “far from done” quote is a Debbiequote, not a Randy-quote. Debbie loves to shop. I hate it. Shortly after we were married, I discovered my role during our shopping adventures. I am the pack-animal or the motor that moves the shopping cart. All the decisionmaking belongs to the lady who loves shopping. That would be Miss Debbie. During this specific Walmart outing, I was motoring the cart between the toy aisles while teasing and tickling little Amanda. We were laughing and having fun while trying to closely follow the shopping-boss without clipping the back of her ankles with the cart. (I did that once. It was not pleasant.) We rounded a corner would head to the when Amanda Dayton Mall with suddenly got very power-shopping excited. She cried coursing through out, “Pappy, Pappy my veins. stop! Go back.

To this day, wrapping our gifts while watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” and sipping an adult beverage is my tradition. Debbie is more of a classic, deliberate shopper. When we used to shop for the family, she would make a list, ponder the list, edit the list and finally, when she was ready, we would set out on our shoppingmission. Those trips are well-planned by the shopping boss. My role was merely to push the cart and carry the bags. Despite how much thought and effort went into the planning of those shopping trips, we have never found anything as perfect as that big bag of cheap little plastic toys. In the movie “The Christmas Story,” Ralphie obsessed over getting an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle with a compass in the stock. He finally got it, but he could not have been more delighted than Amanda was when she received her “perfect gift” of a bag of cheap, plastic toys. Keep looking. That perfect gift may not be expensive. It might be a cheap plastic toy. Wrap it with love. Randy Riley is former Mayor of Wilmington and former Clinton County Commissioner.

Prosecutors said Monday that both sides agreed to postpone the trial for Rita Newcomb just as jury selection was to begin. Officials didn’t give a reason for the delay. Newcomb isn’t charged with any of the Rhoden family killings. She is accused of forgery, obstructing justice and perjury charges related to the case. The 66-year-old is the mother of one of the four suspects in the killings. Newcomb along with those charged in the killings has pleaded not guilty.

The center is located inside of the Davis Career Center on Rio’s main campus. Dr. Bonnie Allen Smith, the nursing program director at the University of Rio Grande-Holzer School of Nursing is also “beyond thrilled” with the center, according to a press release from Rio. “Nursing simulation activities provide an opportunity for student nurses to practice their response to clinical situations and then reflect on how they performed,” Smith said. “This is key to the development of the critical thinking and clinical judgment skills that nurses need in today’s complex healthcare envi- ronments.” As part of their vision statement, the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College’s Simulation Center “integrates learning as an educational tool. All health science disciplines will utilize simulation in a multidisciplinary experience. Through this experience, future healthcare workers will be prepared to work as a cohesive team in providing safe, quality care to the patients.” Dr. Donna Mitchell, dean of the College of Professional and Technical Studies, added that the center “provides allied health and nursing students the opportunity to experience situations and disease processes they may not encounter in the hospital in an actual clinical experience.” The ceremony begins at 10 a.m. in Bob Evans Farm Hall located at 65 Bevo Francis Way. President Ryan Smith will welcome those in attendance. Remarks will also be made by John Carey, director of the Governor’s Office of Appalachia, and Mitchell.

In HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Kyle Busch casually collected the championship flag from his team and did a slow, subdued celebratory lap. The most polarizing driver in NASCAR had just won his second Cup title and wanted to soak in the moment with his true fans. He didn’t do his customary bow to the crowd, asked NASCAR for permission to take his 4-year-old son along for the ride to victory lane, and when the duo finally got there it was then that Busch remembered he’d just won both Sunday’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and his second NASCAR title. “I do remember taking the white flag and crossing underneath that — I had some tears rolling down my eyes for the last lap and I was just like, ‘Come on, man, we’ve still got to finish this damn thing. Don’t be such a siss,’” Busch said. “Emotions were starting to set in. I probably didn’t know where the hell my mind was at. I knew we had won and won big and were being a big more subdued about it.” Busch emerged from the Joe Gibbs Racing juggernaut as NASCAR’s latest champion, winning his second title Sunday after teammates Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. were slowed by pit-road gaffes. He snapped a 21-race losing streak and beat Hamlin, Truex and rival Kevin Harvick for the Cup. Busch joined seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson as the only active drivers with multiple titles. He’s the 16th driver in NASCAR history to win multiple championships, and one of only five to win titles in both the Cup Series and the second-tier Xfinity Series. The No. 18 crew climbed the pit wall and handed Busch the championship flag for his post-race celebration, and he was met on the frontstretch by son Brexton, who immediately asked: “Dad, are you going to throw me in the air again?” about their celebratory tradition. He also asked to join his father for the final ride into victory lane. Busch had raced for a second championship in each of the last three seasons and fell short a year ago in part because of his crew’s own pit error. This time, it was Truex and Hamlin bitten by silly mistakes. Truex dominated early but fell a lap back after his crew put tires on the wrong side of his Toyota. “You’ve got to be perfect, one mistake See NASCAR | 7 — No. 23 Appalachian State moved into the rankings for the second time this season. — No. 24 Texas A&M See GEORGIA | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday Nov. 19 College Football Ohio at Bowling Green, 7:30 Saturday, Nov. 23 College Football Marshall at Charlotte, 3:30 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Georgia From page 6 returned to the Top 25.

(AP) — West Virginia coach Neal Brown was staring down the prospects of a six-game losing streak amid his first season in Morgantown, a streak of futility unmatched by the Mountaineers since 1986. Instead, he walked out of Kansas State with a foundational win for his vast rebuilding effort. Jarret Doege threw for 234 yards and three scores in place of Austin Kendall, and Hakeem Bailey made the play of the game when he picked off the Wildcats’ Skylar Thompson in the closing seconds, allowing the Mountaineers to escape with a 24-20 victory Saturday night. “This is a huge win. It felt like a long time coming,” Brown said. “Kind of been knocking on the door. I really felt like we’d be in a position at some point to win a game that maybe we shouldn’t have. This is big for our program, big for our players and I’m proud of our guys.” The Mountaineers (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) hadn’t scored more than 17 points in their last four games, prompting the change at quarterback. Doege, who hadn’t started since last November when he was still at Bowling Green, responded by throwing all three of his TD passes on crucial third downs. The biggest? A 50-yard heave on thirdand-22 that gave the Mountaineers the lead late. “I was just thinking, ‘Get through my progression,’” Doege said, “but I forced out and I saw him wide open and luckily got it off right before I got hit. I didn’t know if he caught it until I looked up and saw him in the end zone.” The Wildcats (6-4, 3-4) had plenty of chanc- Ranked vs. ranked No. 9 Penn State at No. 2 Ohio State.

I don’t even know what to say. It doesn’t drive good with the left front on the right front, though, I can tell you that. It’s very tight.” Hamlin fell out of contention when an aggressive aerodynamic gamble backfired because a large piece of tape placed across the front of his car caused his engine to overheat. Hamlin had to make an unscheduled pit stop to remove the tape. Truex recovered to finish second, but Hamlin didn’t have enough time to overcome the miscue and was a disappointing 10th. “I feel like I did all I could. I don’t feel I could have done a better job. I didn’t leave anything out there,” Hamlin said. “I was thinking we got a chance and it just didn’t work out. We got a little aggressive there and it cost us.” Harvick, the only Ford driver in the championship field, never had anything on long runs for the Gibbs cars and finished fourth. “On the restarts I could do what I wanted to do and hold them off for 15 or 20 laps,” Harvick said. “This race has come down to that every year. You kind of play toward that and they were quite a bit better than us on the long run. We had a really good car for those first 15 to 20 laps on the restarts and had a lot of speed, we just never got to try to race for it there.” The finale pitted a trio of Toyota drivers from Hall of Fame owner Gibbs against Harvick, the hand-picked driver of former Gibbs protege Tony Stewart at StewartHaas Racing. The Gibbs group had the edge based on its tremendous season — Busch’s win was the 19th out of 36 races for the organization — and the trio insisted it would continue its note-sharing all weekend. Las Vegas couldn’t chose a title favorite and the four had essentially even odds at the start of the race, even though Busch was probably the least likely contender of the group. Although he won the regular season crown, his last Cup win was at Pocono in June, his playoffs leading into Homestead had been mediocre at best and his mood soured with every missed victory lane. “We had a cold spell there. It’s been well docu- mented,” crew chief Adam Stevens said. “Quite a few questions about it. We’re in such a unique situation, as a competitive team that runs up front with the goal of winning the championship every year, everything we do is to make that happen, right? To win the regular season points championship, then try to maintain that and get to Homestead, that’s what it’s all about.” Hamlin, Harvick and Truex had all won playoff races, and Hamlin’s win at Phoenix last week gave him all the momentum. But with friend and fan Michael Jordan in attendance, Hamlin failed to win his first championship in his third try. Hamlin is the only driver in the final four without a Cup title. “Our year was fantastic in every way you can think of, and it just didn’t pan out in one race in our favor,” said Hamlin, who won the Daytona 500 and five other races a year removed from a winless season. Busch, ironically, had one of his worst races in the pits in last year’s finale as his front-tire changer had hiccups on two stops. But he was flawless Sunday night and led a racehigh 120 laps. “Everybody always says you never give up. We’re no different. We just do what we can do each and every week,” Busch said. “Sometimes we may not be the best, sometimes we may not have the right track position. We had a really good car and I could race around and move around. That’s what’s so special about Homestead Miami Speedway, is the ability to put on a show. “I felt like we did that there racing those guys. I know it kind of dulled out toward the end. It was exciting enough from my seat. It was a lot of fun to cap off such an amazing year.” Busch gave Gibbs his fifth Cup title and bookended a season in which the Gibbs cars opened the year 1-2-3 at the Daytona 500. Gibbs this entire year has been mourning the death of his son, JGR co-chairman J.D. Gibbs, and the organization promoted a “Do it for J.D.” theme the entire weekend. The season ended with a 1-2-3 finish in the finale as it was Busch, Truex and Erik Jones across the finish line for Gibbs. “I know J.D. was looking down on us all year long,” Busch said. “I mean, damn, what a season Joe Gibbs Racing put together.” Busch gave Toyota its third drivers’ championship in five seasons.

Thompson led them briskly downfield, but his second-down throw floated in the wind whipping out of the south and Bailey outjumped the intended target. West Virginia then ran out the clock on the win and its five-game losing streak. “We challenged them hard this week,” Brown said, “and the guys that have been in our program for a long time. … We only get 12 of the these so you have to come to play.” The Wildcats, who almost never altered their look under Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder, donned a throwback uniform to the 1988 with white helmets and script “Cats” across them. Perhaps they should have chosen a season in which they didn’t go 0-11. Thompson was 24 of 39 for 299 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, and Kansas State had trouble moving the ball all night against a team that allowed 38 points to Texas Tech last week. The Wildcats ran 32 times but averaged just 3.2 yards per attempt. “When we struggle to run the ball it affects the rest of the offense,” said the Wildcats’ James Gilbert, who led the way with 60 yards rushing and a touchdown. The Mountaineers’ season-long growing pains appeared to continue right from the start, when they went three-and-out on offense and gave up a 68-yard TD pass on their first play on defense. It was hardly a harbinger of the first half. West Virginia answered with a 75-yard drive, finished off by Doege’s touchdown pass to George Campbell. And when the Wildcats answered with a field goal, the Mountaineers reached the end zone again — though not without a bit of help from the officials. West Virginia was held to a field goal that Casey Legg missed. But the crew ruled the Wildcats’ Trey Dishon jumped the gun on the rush, giving the Mountaineers a fresh set of downs. They went nowhere on the first two plays before Campbell hauled in another touchdown pass. Legg missed another field goal heading into the locker room, and the momentum appeared to have swung the Wildcats’ TUESDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Newswatch 6:30 The takeaway West Virginia was desperate for some kind of spark, so Doege got the call. He was plenty shaky in his first start since last November, but he also made a couple of crucial plays when they mattered. Kansas State came out flat after a gutwrenching last-second loss at Texas last week. The Wildcats have now lost two straight after a three-game win streak highlighted by an upset of Oklahoma.

They opened it with a long, time-consuming touchdown drive to take a 20-14 lead midway through the third quarter. They were never able to shake loose, though. Kansas State was forced to punt on each of its next two possessions. Legg drilled a 51-yard field goal after missing a chip-shot late in the first half, and a few minutes later Doege took advantage of a major coverage lapse on third-and-22 to throw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Bryce Wheaton. That turned out to be all the points the Mountaineers needed. “Obviously a disappointing loss — a game West Virginia deserved,” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said. “They outplayed us and, that being said, we had an opportunity late in the game to almost steal a victory.

(AP) — Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is scheduled to have hip surgery in Houston. Team surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain said in a statement Sunday that Tagovailoa will have surgery on his dislocated right hip Monday. An Alabama spokesman declined to disclose where he was having the surgery citing privacy reasons. Cain says the medical team “consulted with multiple orthopedic experts across the country, who specialize in hip injuries and surgeries.” He reiterated that they expect Tagovailoa to make a full recovery. The fifth-ranked Crimson Tide’s star, a potential top pick in April’s NFL draft, was injured while being dragged down by two defenders late in the first half of Saturday’s 38-7 win over Mississippi State.

Pirates announce Ben Cherington as GM PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Cherington is the new general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The club announced the move on Monday, three weeks after firing Neal Huntington from the same position following a last-place finish in the NL Central. Cherington won a World Series ring as general manager of the Boston Red Sox in 2013. He was fired following the 2015 season and spent the last three years as vice president of baseball operations for the Toronto Blue Jays. Cherington called joining the Pirates the “ideal opportunity.” He is the second high-profile hire by Pittsburgh during the offseason.

That falls onto me and I’m going to get better. We’re all going to keep getting better.” The Bengals had a frightening moment in the fourth quarter when wide receiver Auden Tate suffered a neck injury after making a 20-yard catch on a third-and-19 play. Tate had his back turned to the defense and was hit from behind by Raiders safety Curtis Riley. Tate lay on the turf for several minutes and players from both teams knelt down nearby before Tate was eventually placed on a cart and taken to the locker room. “He could talk and (had) motion and all that,” Taylor said. “Hopefully it was just mostly precautionary. When something like that happens to him, it’s hard. It affects us.” If there was a positive, it came from the Bengals defense. Cincinnati sacked Oakland’s Derek Carr three times. Carr had been sacked only 12 times in the Raiders previous nine games. Still, it wasn’t enough to take away the sting from being 0-10. “It’s a big hit on everybody in the organization,” Mixon said. “It sucks to be in this position. I’ve never been 0-10 in my life. It’s the same thing each and every week, and it’s frustrating.” SUNDAY 48° 29° A: Winter in the Northern Hemisphere Precipitation WEDNESDAY Mostly cloudy and chilly today. Mainly cloudy tonight.

Sometimes it went accordingly and sometimes it didn’t. But our run game was really helping us today.” Mixon finished with 86 yards and 15 carries. Finley struggled for a second straight week since replacing Dalton. The rookie quarterback was 13 of 31 for 115 yards and a 39.0 rating. “Overall, offensively it wasn’t enough,” Taylor said, adding that Finley will remain the Bengals’ starter. “He tried to keep some plays alive, but it’s hard. Right now, we are not creating a lot of separation and there are some guys that get in (our) backfield pretty quick. So, it’s a hard day for most quarterbacks. “There are some plays that he has got to learn from and he would like to have back, but it’s the whole unit together and that starts with him.” In two games as Cincinnati’s starter, Finley has completed 29 of 61 pass attempts for 282 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. “We need to get better at not getting behind the OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — For a little while, at least, it seemed as if Cincinnati would finally join the rest of the NFL and win a game. Joe Mixon ran strong for a second consecutive week, and the Bengals forced a pair of turnovers to cool down Oakland’s offense. But, reality sank in when rookie Ryan Finley dropped back to pass. Finley was sacked five times, including four by Raiders rookie defensive end Maxx Crosby, and threw an interception that ended Cincinnati’s hopes for a late comeback during a 17-10 loss to Oakland on Sunday. That’s 12 consecutive losses for the Bengals dating to last year. Cincinnati’s 0-10 start this season matches the worst in franchise history. “I’ve got be better,” said Finley after his second career start in place of benched starter Andy Dalton. “A lot of these NFL games come down to one score, and you need to score in the two-minute situation. Just got to be better all around.” Cincinnati led 7-0 behind Mixon’s running early. The Bengals running back had a 30-yard run to start the drive, then scored on a 3-yard run after changing directions in the backfield. It was Cincinnati’s first rushing touchdown this season by someone other than Dalton.
