NEW YORK (AP) — Flu is now widespread in every state except Hawaii, but the good news is the season appears to already be peaking. It’s been a rough few weeks: Hospitals have set up tents to handle patient overflow. Doctors are putting in double and triple shifts. Ambulances have been sidelined while paramedics waited to drop off patients. “This morning, I couldn’t stand up. I was really weak,” said Margaret Shafer, who went to a Seattle emergency room this week after a bout with the flu was followed by pneumonia.

According to Gallipolis in Bloom President Bev Dunkle, she is considering retirement in the coming years and is ready to step down as the chairperson of GIB efforts in the America in Bloom competition. To partake in the annual AIB competition GIB has been part of the last 12 years, paperwork must be submitted by February. Dunkle has been the president of the nonprofit organization since the late 2000s. “We have until February 28,” said Dunkle,” to join the contest… If somebody wants to take that over, that would be wonderful. We have all of our records. I have everything on flash drives and we’re here to help people.” According to Dunkle, the chairperson is the individual who makes certain the organization makes all of its deadlines for the America in Bloom competition. Dunkle has decided she is done being a chairperson and wishes to focus on other personal endeavors, but will continue on with GIB in a lesser role. She asks another to carry the torch. GIB has taken home many awards over the years as part of its returning participation in America in Bloom. Because of its continued “You want to mentor somebody while you’re still here. I would like to help mentor somebody or they can take it over and they don’t have to ever talk to me about it…We’re open to new leadership and new ideas.” — Bev Dunkle, Gallipolis in Bloom president success, it competes in the Circle of Champions, a category reserved for successful returning communities. Of 39 other competing cities in the U.S., GIB has walked home as champs twice over the last two years in its population category. The group also had special nominations in Best Floral Displays, even against settlements with far larger populations. GIB also had a special nomination in Best Program for Engaging Children in past years. America in Bloom is an organization based out of Columbus, Ohio, that encourages beautification of towns nationally. It is also part of Communities in Bloom, an international organization. “We’ve been invited to compete internationally the last two years,” said GIB Volunteer Coordinator Kim Canaday. “It’s just expensive to enter and we choose to focus on our flower See GIB | 5A POMEROY — Despite rumors floating around Meigs County, according to Emergency Medical Services Director Robbie Jacks, “We will not be losing 911.” Jacks and Commissioner Randy Smith recently spoke with state representatives, legislators, and the County Commissioners Association (CCAO) in Columbus to make them aware of Meigs County’s current issue of meeting the state’s certain requirements for 911 through the Ohio Administrative Code by May 12. The requirements for 911 would cost the county around $452,000 said Jacks. He expressed the biggest challenge lies within the requirement of doubling the EMS staff which would be financially crippling. Jacks said that if these requirements are not met, the 911 service will lose $90,000 for their phone line funding. Jacks shared the state representatives have looked at other communities affected by this and are trying to get an Emergency Measure Pass that will pause the demands for 911 services until the communities can find a solution. Jacks expressed he and the commissioners have been working together on this issue for two years and they have considered many options trying to decide what would work best for Meigs County. Smith and Jacks agree that embarking on a shared 911 service with an adjacent county would not be a feasible option. Jacks said this option would not be cost effective and he fears Meigs County would not be as efficiently covered for emergency situations. Jacks shared that State Representative Jay Edwards has been assisting in this effort and Smith along with Commissioners Tim Ihle and Mike Bartrum are vocal commissioners and have been actively trying to gain support for Meigs County’s 911 service.

He was born December 21, 1939 in Quaker City, son of the late Samuel Boyd and Elizabeth I. (Reed) Carter. He developed his love of agriculture working beside his grandfather on the family farm. He attended Washington High School where he played baritone in the band. Bud attended Ohio State University and it was there on the Oval that he met young, fun-loving Mary Kathryn “Kay” James. The two married September 8, 1962 in her hometown of Parkersburg, W.Va., officiated by her brother Rev. Ronald James. Upon graduation with a Bachelors of Science in Agriculture from Ohio State University in 1963, the two chose Gallia County to settle and raise a family. The couple were blessed to raise two children: Kevin, born February 1966 and Stephanie, born October 1967. Bud served as a Gallia County Extension Agent in 4-H from 1963-1965 and as Agriculture Agent from 1965-1985. Bud enjoyed these positions and made it a family affair as Mary Kay and the kids were often assigned tasks during field demonstration projects and at the county fair. Many Sunday afternoon drives ended up visiting at a family farm where the kids learned about animals and chased kittens in the hay lofts. His daughter describes being raised “not on a farm, but on everyone in the county’s farm”. During his time in the county, he also received a Master’s Degree from Ohio State University in 1973 and pursued post-graduate studies in Agriculture Economics toward a doctorate in 1986. Educating himself and others was a tenant in his life which he instilled in his own children, who both have advanced degrees and serve as educators in their own fields of expertise – Kevin, in Water Quality and Stephanie, in physical therapy. In 1986, he became Farm Management Specialist of the District working out of Jackson and held this position until his retirement May 1, 1995. Bud’s service extended into the religious community as a member of Grace United Methodist Church. He and Mary Kay were founding members of the God Squad Sunday school class, where he also served as president. Always interested in mentoring youth, he then taught Senior High Sunday School and was instrumental in founding “The Cellar Program” for the youth ministry in 1980. He served as head usher in the church for many years where he broke tradition by inviting women to serve as ushers. Championing education, he enjoyed serving TOMMY WAYNE ‘TOM’ WHITE GALLIPOLIS — Tommy Wayne “Tom” White, 59 of Gallipolis passed away on Thursday, January 11, 2018 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Huntington, W.Va.

Immediately after retirement he consulted in farm management and taught part-time for A.B.L.E. at Buckeye Hills Career Center, Rio Grande. In retirement he enjoyed several hobbies. He restored a 1939 Case tractor and plow used on his family’s farm and drove it proudly in many Fourth of July parades with his grandson, Derek. His love of tractors was also shared by his son-inlaw, Erik and grandson, Carter, who has driven his own Case tractor in many parades. Bud became an amateur radio enthusiast and enjoyed using these skills to work with club members and local authorities in the emergency management system. The community recognized his service with many awards and he was proud to serve as Grand Marshal of the Fourth of July Parade in very passionate about his family, especially his grandson Jobe, and he loved his friends as if they were his family; it could be said that Dee had never met a stranger. He had an incredible zest for life, enjoyed riding Harleys, gardening, and making others laugh and smile. He will be terribly missed by all; to know him was to love him. The family would like to ask that in memory of their loved one, that you take a moment out of your day to hug a loved one of your own, call a friend that you haven’t spoken to in awhile, take a moment out of life and take a walk, take a moment out of life to think and reflect, and always take time for friends and family.

I love having them around the house, love having dinner with them, watching TV, joking and playing music. They are fine young adults. But enough with this winter break already. The twins, 20, get a little more than four weeks off between the end of their final exams and the resumption of classes. And that’s too long. Not for me.

Lots of fooling about online and sleeping in. Don’t call this “free time,” though. Students will pay for it in the late spring, when their school years will end a little later than they otherwise would, cutting their summers a little shorter. There’s an argument that colleges and universities should expect year-round attendance with minimal breaks, the way, say, most employers do. Prepare the little lotus-eaters for the real world and expedite their educations! I’m not there. Long college summers are great for getting work experience earning money to pay tuition, hobo-style traveling or other broadening endeavors. Starting them early gives students a head start on applying for jobs and internships. But long college winters are generally a waste. Some students secure temporary seasonal employment, but most don’t. And with everything else going on and so many peers on different schedules, it’s a lousy time to go backpacking through Europe or hike the Appalachian Trail. “It takes students out of a routine for too long,” wrote then-St. John’s University student Patrice Bendig in a 2008 essay for her campus newspaper that made the case for shorter winter breaks. “A month may not seem like a lot to be out of practice, but when there is absolutely no kind of reading or writing beside instant messages and Facebook walls, it is too long. This makes it harder for students to (go) back to being slammed with research papers and textbook outlining on a daily basis.” Many parents responded in the negative when I asked on Facebook if college winter breaks are too long. They wrote, as I would write, of the pleasures of being in their children’s company, of savoring the dwindling moments of having them home just rattling around, of interacting with them without much of the drama of adolescence. Four weeks? If I could stop time it would be four years. But I can’t stop time. And I want what’s best for them, not for me. C’mon colleges! Two weeks off and then let’s get back to it. Pay no attention to the lump in my throat when I hug the last one goodbye next week. This column was originally published in The Chicago Tribune. THEIR VIEW Time to retire Social Security numbers On Dec. 1, 1936, government administrator Joe Fay walked over to a stack of cards in his Baltimore office, plucked the first piece of paper off the top, and made a historic announcement. Written on the card was the name of John David Sweeney, a 23-year old shipping clerk from New Rochelle, N.Y. By having his name announced, Sweeney was the first record entered into a new government program called “Social Security.” Along with Sweeney’s entrance into the program came an identifying number (055-09-0001) that would allow him to collect his Social Security benefits when he retired. Ironically, Sweeney was a Republican who didn’t think much of President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, although he admitted he favored Social Security. But he would die in 1974 at age 61 without collecting any of the benefits he had accrued over the course of his working life. From Sweeney on, Americans would be issued a unique number that would match them up with their Social Security benefits.

Given last year’s Equifax breach, your Instagram account currently appears to be more secure than your credit history. With the enormous power credit-reporting agencies have over our personal information, Congress should move quickly to force agencies such as Equifax, Experian PLC and TransUnion to modernize their authentication procedures. America’s government safety net record-keepers have done the hard work for these agencies for too long; now it’s finally time for Social Security numbers to retire.

THEIR VIEW Wage hike would be smart even without tax cuts Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is using the windfall the GOP just gave Corporate America to score a publicrelations coup, with a strategic move that would have been smart even without a tax cut. The big-box giant said Thursday it will raise its minimum wage in February to $11 per hour and pledged to give onetime bonuses to eligible employees of between $200 and $1,000. Walmart expects its largesse will cost $700 million, but framed it as a way for employees to “share in tax savings” from the tax overhaul that was signed into law in December.

The report out Friday shows flu and pneumonia deaths crept up last week to push flu to an epidemic level. Flu reaches that threshold most winters, even during seasons that are not considered particularly bad. Hospitalizations of the elderly are climbing. So far they’re not shooting up quite like they did in 2014-2015, but health officials are watching the numbers closely. The CDC estimates there are tens of thousands of deaths each year from flu and pneumonia.

Jennifer Burrough and her family didn’t get flu shots this year after hearing reports that suggested it might not work very well this season. Her 12-year-old son came home with the bug around the holidays, then her two youngest kids got sick and she did, too. They all recovered quickly. But her 48-year-old Navy veteran husband, Shawn Burrough, landed in the hospital. There, he had trouble breathing and his kidneys started shutting down. He was medically sedated and put on a breathing machine. “We didn’t figure it would be like this,” said Jennifer Burrough. “You don’t expect to wake up with sniffles and two days later find yourself in a medically induced coma. It was rapid, just rapid.” SUNDAY, JANUARY 14 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 Dateline NBC Investigative features are covered.

The library now has every newspaper printed in Gallipolis, including the Daily Times, Sunday Times-Sentinel, The Gallipolis Daily Tribune, and others, since 1895 on microfilm, which has always been available to the public. However, patrons had to come into the library and know a date to be able to search the microfilm. “While that works well, we obviously have that capability in house and people have been doing that for years, we wanted to have that microfilm digitized and put online in a searchable format,” said Library Director Debbie Saunders. And that is exactly what they have done. Every newspaper is now online and has been converted from microfilm into a fully digital and searchable index that is available for free and can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. “While it was great that patrons could come in and search the microfilm in house, it wasn’t searchable in a real efficient way,” said Saunders. “We now have an online searchable index of every paper since 1895. We’re very appreciative of the (Ohio Valley Publishing) publisher (Bud Hunt) for giving the library permission,” said Saunders. “Without the permissions of the publisher this would not be possible.” The library funded the program from their technology fund, costing around $38,000 according to Saunders. Bossard sent the microfilm to a company called Advantage Preservation that scanned and digitized the microfilm and stored it online. They also sent a hard drive with all of the content to Bossard to store for posterity if anything were to ever happen to the servers. “We just believed in the value of it and what it will do for people in terms of their research capability, even if you’re not doing real indepth research you can learn a lot about local history or family members,” said Saunders. The site is simple to use with a basic user interface and two ways to search; a simple search and a more detailed method searching specific words and dates.

While researching through the 123 years of newspapers, visitors to the site can save and edit screen-shots of what they find in both .pdf and .jpg formats. Users can zoom in and crop certain portions of a page and add filters to their screen-shots. The site can be accessed from Bossard’s website www.bossardlibrary.org or bossardlibrary.advantage-preservation.com. The earliest edition of a local, Gallia County newspaper the library has available on the site is from Tuesday, January 1, 1895. Headlines in the paper that day include three men who confessed to murder in Pittsburgh, Pa. and business accountings showing an increase in the economy. Many of the datelines on the front page are from Pittsburgh, although several are from San Francisco, Calif. involving Russian refugees. Bossard will also continue to load up current editions of the Tribune and Times-Sentinel as they are published, preserving a digital record. According to the special 200th anniversary edition of the Tribune from October 15, 1990 there have been 18 different newspapers in Ohio Valley Publishing One of the most important stories in American history are the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The Gallipolis Daily Tribune ran a special edition on this tragedy, including how local churches opened their doors to the public dealing with what happened. “While it was great that patrons could come in and search the microfilm in house, it wasn’t searchable in a real efficient way.

The Gallipolis Daily Tribune first printed 1893 and the Current Sunday Times-Sentinel began as the Gallia Times in 1898. To celebrate and draw attention to the new online database Bossard has planned an online scavenger hunt from January 21 through 27. Ohio Valley Publishing Major historic events in the Ohio Valley can be found in the new online database, including the front page of the Tribune immediately following the Silver Bridge collapse in 1967. Participants must go to bossardlibrary.org to obtain questions (after the 21) and then use the database to find those answers and email them to the reference desk at reference@bossardlibrary.org. There will be a prize drawing for everyone that answers all of the questions. (Editor’s note: Due to the formation of Ohio Valley Publishing, many articles which ran in the Tribune but originated from its sister papers, The Daily Sentinel and Point Pleasant Register, can also be found in the database.)

The Meigs girls basketball team dropped a 55-53 decision to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division host Nelsonville-York on Thursday evening in Athens County, as Mary-Kate McCulloch sank the game-winning bucket for the Lady Buckeyes in the closing seconds. The Lady Marauders (7-6, 3-3 TVC Ohio) — who’ve fell in three straight league games — trailed by a 12-to-8 clip after eight minutes of play, and the Lady Buckeyes (9-4, 5-1) added one point to their advantage in the second quarter, as the hosts enjoyed a 26-21 halftime edge. Meigs started the second half with a 19-to-10 run and headed into the fourth quarter with a 40-36 lead. The Maroon and Gold were outscored by a 19-to-13 margin in the final eight minutes, however, as Nelsonville-York snatched the 55-53 victory. Collectively, Meigs shot 19-of-45 (42.2 percent) from the field, including 9-of-23 (39.1 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, NYHS was 21-of50 (42 percent) from the field, including 6-of-18 (33.3 percent) from deep.

No camp meant less wear and tear on the legs that are pivotal to his team’s Super Bowl hopes. Even after a season in which his 406 touches were 60 more than any other player in the league, Bell insists he’s “100” as the kids say heading into Sunday’s divisional round game against Jacksonville. “I feel great, especially not playing these last two weeks, not going to camp earlier in the year,” Bell said Wednesday. “I can’t complain.

The River Valley girls basketball team committed 23 turnovers as visiting Wellston propelled itself to a 71-38 win on Thursday night in a Tri -Valley Conference Ohio Division contest in Gallia County. The Lady Raiders (0-10, 0-5 TVC Ohio) led the Lady Golden Rockets (7-5, 2-4) for one minute and 33 seconds in the first quarter of play, but two consecutive shots beyond the three-point arc by Wellston began what served as 19-9 run by the visiting Blue and Gold to open the game. River Valley’s Kelsey Brown, Beth Gillman and Carly Gilmore each provided scoring in the game’s first frame, combining for three field goals and three made free throws. However, Wellston’s Sidney Mullins scored 13 of her game-high 33 points in the first frame to provide the Lady Golden Rockets with a 10-point advantage to begin the game’s second quarter. In that second stanza, River Valley sophomore Kaylee Gillman entered the scoring column as she hit two trifectas. Gillman scored six of the Lady Raiders’ team total of eight points in the second period, as Wellston outscored the Silver and Black 16-8 to enter halftime with a 35-17 advantage.

While Wellston held the advantage on the scoreboard at intermission, River Valley held the lead in rebounds. The Lady Raiders outrebounded the Lady Golden Rockets 16 to 15 in the first half of play. Unfortunately, RVHS committed 17 turnovers to Wellston’s 11 giveaways in the first half. The game was all Wellston in the second half of action, as the Lady Golden Rockets outscored the Lady Raiders 36-21 in the final two quarters. Overall, RVHS made just 12 of its 51 shots from the field, including four three-pointers. In contrast, WHS shot 33-for70, and sank nine three-point shots en route to victory. From the free throw line, the Lady Raiders were 10-for-17 for 58 percent. The visiting Lady Golden Rockets were 10-of-18 from the charity stripe for 55 percent. Jaden Neal served as River Valley’s only player to reach double figures in scoring, as she finished with 11 points. Kaylee Gillman provided eight points, which included two three-pointers. RVHS junior Kelsey Brown and senior Carly Gilmore each added six and four points to the scoring column, respectively. Beth Gillman and Hannah Jacks were next as both scored three points, while sophomore Savannah Reese and junior Cierra Roberts rounded out the scoring with two points and one point, respectively.

Snowy owls are invading Ohio Keep your eyes open for snowy owls. Although they are rare visitors to our part of the country, the snowy owl population is in the midst of an irruption – a fancy word for a large number of animals showing up where it is not common to see large numbers of them. According to website dedicated to tracking snowy owls, Project SNOWstorm (projectsnowstorm.org), for reasons that are not fully understood, snowy owls have come flooding down from the north. Smaller irruptions happen on average every four or five years, but mega-irruptions occur once or twice in a lifetime – when snowy owls show up further south and in far greater numbers than usual. According to numerous news reports, nearly a dozen snowy owls have been sighted in the Cleveland area in northern Ohio, and more locally a young, male snowy owl created a bit of a sensation when it showed up last month in Vienna, W.Va. After several days it was determined that For snowy owls, Ohio is intervention was necesthe deep south; consider sary (intervention is it the owl equivalent of a never the first option) human going to Florida and it was captured and for the winter taken in by the MorganSnowy owls prefer town, W.Va.-based Avian open, tundra-like areas, Conservation Center of and when nesting the Appalachia (ACCA).

They aren’t used to being around people, utility wires, cars, and all of the commotion, so if you do see one, enjoy the sight but keep your distance. Of course all owls and raptors are federally protected, and you aren’t allowed to possess one, or even parts of one, with appropriate permits. By the way, the Vienna snowy owl’s story is happier than most: upon further examination it was discovered that the owl had a right shoulder injury and was dangerously underweight. However it is healing nicely under the care of the ACCA, and he was recently moved into a larger enclosure to begin exercising. You can follow this particular snowy owl’s adventure on Facebook through the Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia.

It just didn’t read that way as it made the rounds on social media, or sound that way during a three-second sound bite played endlessly on a loop. “Maybe I don’t have it anymore,” the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said in a somber locker room three months ago after throwing five interceptions in a 30-9 loss to Jacksonville . Roethlisberger didn’t mean it. Call it a visceral reaction to having two of his 55 passes returned the other way for game-deciding touchdowns. Three days later the 35-yearold was back to calling himself one of the “best in the world.” It wasn’t just idle talk. He fol- Fred Vuich | AP file Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) passes in an October game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Pittsburgh. Three months later, Roethlisberger doesn’t want to talk about that five-interception meltdown against Jacksonville, but a shot at redemption awaits Sunday in the playoffs. lowed it up by spending the better part of the next 10 weeks playing like it. The quarterback who will stride onto the field Sunday for a rematch against the Jaguars in the divisional round of the playoffs has his swagger back. Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey jokingly gave credit to the beard Roethlisberger began growing in the aftermath of one of the most forgettable performances of his career. Of course, that’s not the reality. The guys who surround Roethlisberger in the huddle know the swagger never really left. “Ben is the most talented guy I’ve ever been around,” Heyward-Bey said. “I’m not talking quarterback. I’m talking about talent. He can do a lot of different things. He believes in his ability and he’s going to show people on Sunday that he believes in himself.” The player who openly pondered retirement last spring, the one who quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner said in November will occasionally uncork a flutter ball while looking very much his age, heads to his 21st career playoff game at See TEST | 6B Bell From page 3B considers himself unlike any other player in the league. It’s not a coincidence that he mentioned “$17 million” during one freestyle session over the summer. If anything, the $12 million he’s earned this season looks like a bargain. Bell earned first-team AllPro honors at the “flex” position, a testament to his unique skillset. He finished third in the league in yards rushing (1,291) and 10th in receptions (85) despite sitting out the regular-season finale with a first-round bye already clinched. “He wanted to get paid $17 million, but that’s because of what he does,” guard Ramon Foster said. “He catches and runs the ball, he blocks. He does everything. That’s right up his alley. To be honest, I’m happy for him because he made himself into that. You can’t just be a running back anymore and he’s proven that.” Yet Bell is at the point in his career where what happens from September through December is no longer the point. On a team loaded with talent, he’s well aware the one thing he’s missing on his resume is the one thing that a massive payday and all the regularseason touches in the world can’t buy. “I honestly don’t care about records or things like that,” Bell said. “I just want to win a championship. I think everything else kind of comes with it.” And Bell isn’t afraid to speak his mind to make sure Pittsburgh’s season ends in Minneapolis next month. He didn’t hesitate to question his relatively light workload during a 30-9 loss to Jacksonville on Oct. 8. He carried just 15 times for 47 yards against a team that came into the game ranked last in the NFL against the rush. “We didn’t necessarily stick to our game plan, we had to start playing catch-up a little bit so we couldn’t really run the ball as much as we wanted to,” Bell said. “We’ll see how the game goes. We want to be balanced.” For the Steelers that often means making sure Bell is a vital part of the process. Pittsburgh is 6-0 this season when Bell has 30 touches or more. It sounds like a lot because it is a lot. Yet Bell also hasn’t crossed it since a win over Green Bay the weekend after Thanksgiving. Compare that to a year ago, when he needed a painkiller shot before the AFC title game just to play, a patchwork solution that failed spectacularly. The first time the Patriots hit Bell, the throbbing in his groin returned. There will be no shot necessary on Sunday. “I don’t go into a game feeling achy or sore,” Bell said. “I’m going there and literally feeling like it’s new, like I haven’t played in a minute, I want to get back out there.” The proof can be heard on the practice field, where Foster says Bell keeps yelling “Tempo! Tempo!” in an effort to get his teammates to pick up the pace, not always an easy task more than five months into the season. “His sense of urgency is higher than I ever seen it,” Foster said. “He’s eager about it. When you’ve got a guy like him that’s eager to do it … you’ve got to believe in those guys.” �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, January 14, 2018 5B 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 � � � � � � � � � � � � 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 � � � � �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL � � � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.

Neither does Teryl Austin, which makes him a good fit as the team’s new defensive coordinator. “We wanted to stay within our structure,” Lewis said Thursday during Austin’s introductory news conference. “With the personnel we have returning, we didn’t have to make drastic changes. We didn’t want the players to have to relearn the wheel.” Austin, 52, spent the past four seasons as Detroit’s defensive coordinator, but his future was in doubt after the Lions fired coach Jim Caldwell last week. He inherits a defense that was 18th in the NFL in total defense and produced 14 takeaways this past season. The Lions finished ninth in total defense with 32 takeaways. “It’s more about the players than us,” said Austin, who replaces Paul Guenther. “We wanted to keep things similar, terminologywise. We’ll make some changes, but nothing drastic.” Lewis said, “He has ties to a lot of people on our staff here.” Guenther left Cin- the height of his powers. Roethlisberger is averaging 298 yards passing since that forgettable three hours against the NFL’s top defense. Roethlisberger’s thrown multiple touchdown passes in seven straight games and the Steelers ended the season with a 9-1 sprint, the lone setback a loss to New England on Dec. 17 in which his only mistake came on a poorly executed fake spike that resulted in a game-ending pick. What’s working? Nearly everything. Having two of the top skill position players in the league in wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell helps. So does the continued evolution of rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant’s immersion into the offense following an ill-advised trade demand. Yet Pittsburgh’s offense will only go as far over the next month as Roethlisberger can take it. Though he downplayed looking for payback after the Jaguars shut him down in ways that few teams have in recent years, not everyone is buying it. “I’m sure just as any competitor would, when you go and have a bad outing or a difficult, tough outing against a team, you want that revenge,” Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles said. “You want to go prove that it was a fluke or whatever it might be. I’m sure that’s probably what he’s thinking.” Not that Roethlisberger would admit it even if he is. Never one to go into great detail about how he goes about his job, Roethlisberger insists he’s focused simply on playing well. The fact it’s against the Jaguars is coincidental. There is no looking ahead to a potential shot at New England in the AFC title game, or a third Super Bowl that would provide an exclamation point on a potential Hall of Fame career. “I am not worried about what’s going on up there (with the Patriots),” Roethlisberger said. “All I can think about and worry about is this defense that we are playing.” A defense that will likely need to find a way to replicate its October dominance to extend its season. The Steelers have been forced to revisit the loss this week, one that put their journey from that moment to this one in perspective. “That game for our entire group was kind of a watershed moment,” offensive coordinator Todd Haley said Thursday. “We stayed together, but there was a lot of pressure from the outside. A lot of outside factors that could have been divisive in some way for our group, but I take my hat off to the guys. They stuck together. They pulled together tighter. We knew that wasn’t our best football and we knew it probably really wasn’t as bad as it appeared.” Or, as Roethlisberger can attest, as bad as it sounded afterward. The sound bite was just that, a bite, one that in a way played a role in his resurgence. “He’s confident in his ability and he’s confident in his receivers,” Heyward-Bey said. “He knows that we’re going to go out there and try and make plays for him. That’s what a quarterback needs. He has to have confidence in his guys.” John Minchillo | AP The Cincinnati Bengals’ new defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, right, smiles alongside head coach Marvin Lewis during a news conference Thursday at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. Austin, 52, spent the past four seasons as Detroit’s defensive coordinator. cinnati after spending 13 seasons with the Bengals, the last four as defensive coordinator, for the same job with the Oakland Raiders. Austin, who interviewed for Detroit’s coaching vacancy last week, preferred joining a team that he felt didn’t need a lot of work. “One thing I wanted was to go somewhere and not have to overhaul things,” he said. “The Bengals have good personnel. We’ll try to do what they were doing, but just do it better. There’s good talent here. Every year, you try to add to that talent. My job is to make sure they perform on the field. “We’re going to try to play on (the opponent’s) side of the line of scrimmage and play without fear — physical and strong. We’re not going to sit back and let the other teams dictate what we do.” That includes forcing turnovers, he said. “It’s like anything you coach,” Austin said. “You get what you emphasize.” In 2014, the Lions became the ninth team in NFL history to finish the season allowing fewer than 70 yards rushing per game. Detroit lost Ndamukong Suh off that team and slipped defensively after that. Austin previously was a secondary coach for the Baltimore Ravens and also has coached defensive backs for the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. Lewis, who was brought back by the Bengals after a 7-9 season, has sent five assistants on to NFL head coaching jobs, but Austin said that wasn’t part of his decision-making process. “I think the bigger selling point is the chance to work with some quality people and a quality team,” he said. “The other stuff can take care of itself.” Lewis added, “Hopefully, he’ll have great success immediately and he has that opportunity.” Browns add Packers execs to front office CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns’ roster still needs major work. Their front office is starting to shape up. New general manager John Dorsey tapped into his NFL connections to improve the winless Browns, adding former Green Bay executives Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith on Wednesday in the club’s first major moves in a significant offseason. Dorsey played linebacker for the Packers and spent time working in the club’s front office with Wolf and Highsmith, two highly regarded talent evaluators with solid reputations. The 35-year-old Wolf, who is considered a rising star in the league, will serve as Dorsey’s assistant while Highsmith, a former NFL running back, is the Browns’ vice president of player personnel. “We’re lucky to add Alonzo and Eliot to our personnel staff,” said Dorsey, who was hired last month by owner Jimmy Haslam. “Alonzo’s 25 years of experience in the National Football League as a player, scout and personnel executive give him a unique perspective when it comes to evaluating talent and building a team. “Alonzo and I share the same passion for this great game of football. We are going to set out to find talented football players that possess that same passion for the game. “Eliot has been a fine executive in this league for some time now. It’s been great to watch him grow up around this league when I was with him in Green Bay and from afar for the last five-plus years. He’s been a big reason for the consistent success the Packers have experienced over the last decade.” Wolf spent 14 seasons with the Packers, working as the club’s director of football operations for the past two. He recently interviewed for the Green Bay GM job that went to Brian Gutekunst and Wolf was reportedly offered a spot to work in Oakland with Raiders’ GM Reggie McKenzie. Dorsey, McKenzie and Wolf all worked together in Green Bay. But the son of Hall of Fame executive Ron Wolf is instead joining the Browns, still crawling from the wreckage of a 0-16 season while preparing for a draft in which they’ll have the No. 1 overall pick and four in the top 35. “I really like the direction of where leadership is headed,” Wolf said. “We’re going to build this team the right way and to be a part of that from the ground up is going to be special.” Highsmith spent 19 years in Green Bay’s scouting department. After starring at Miami, Highsmith was the No. 3 overall pick in the 1987 draft by the Houston Oilers. “This is going to be an exciting challenge,” Highsmith said. “It’s great to reunite with John Dorsey. He is someone I’ve looked up to and has always been a mentor to me. We had great success together in Green Bay and we both understand the hard work it takes to create a winning environment. “I’m grateful to have the opportunity to be part of something special. Some of my fondest memories in football were playing the Browns in the playoffs one year and the fans throwing dog bones at us so we had to turn around and play that series at the opposite end zone.” Dorsey’s hiring of Wolf and Highsmith is a return to a more “traditional” football model for Cleveland’s front office, which emphasized analytics in two failed seasons under fired vice president of football operations Sashi Brown. Dorsey has also brought in former co-workers in Kansas City, adding Jimmy Noel as assistant director of pro scouting, Matt Donahoe as a scout and Dan Zegers as personnel coordinator. All three worked with the Chiefs under Dorsey, who was surprisingly let go by the team in June after four seasons. The Browns also said Ken Kovash, a vice president of player personnel the past two seasons, will transition to a role in the club’s strategy department under Paul DePodesta. Ryan Grigson, a senior personnel executive, has been dismissed. Vikings QB keeps on disproving doubters MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When Minnesota’s offense huddled for the first time that mid-September afternoon in Pittsburgh, Case Keenum’s energy and confidence quickly filled the circle. The Vikings were forced to turn to their backup quarterback to start the second game of the season after Sam Bradford’s knee acted up, an ominous development that can doom a team to an autumn of disenchantment and playing for draft pick position. Despite the decisive defeat against the Steelers that day, though, there was a certain assurance Keenum gave his teammates that suggested they’d be all right. “He’s a guy you want to play for,” wide receiver Adam Thielen said. Four months later, the Vikings and Keenum are still playing. They’re two wins away from reaching the Super Bowl. “It’s been a blast, man. It’s been incredible. I’m sure one of these days I’ll be able to look back and really appreciate it, but there’s so much to enjoy right now,” Keenum said. “Not really putting too much into perspective. Not really looking too much at the big picture. I’m keeping my blinders on.” With a modest 6-foot-1, 215pound frame, Keenum was mostly ignored by major college programs despite leading Abilene Wylie High School to its first state championship in football-obsessed Texas. Houston made his only FBS scholarship offer, from then-head coach Art Briles, and by the time Keenum was finished with the Cougars he was the NCAA’s alltime leading passer with 19,217 yards and 155 touchdowns. Yet he still went undrafted in 2012, needing the Houston Texans practice squad to get his professional career off the ground. Keenum started 10 games over the next two years before being traded to the Rams in 2015, but they made Jared Goff the first pick in the 2016 draft so there was no future for Keenum there beyond being a veteran mentor. Even Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was among those who typecast Keenum as a just-incase second-stringer. Zimmer acknowledged recently he didn’t gain full confidence in Keenum until the 11th or 12th game of the season and, when Teddy Bridgewater was cleared to play in mid-November, Zimmer never declared Keenum the starter for more than a week at a time. “He just wanted a chance,” his father, Steve Keenum, said this week in a phone interview. “He’s got to have the knack. It’s just a God-given, innate thing that he’s maximized by working hard.” Though Keenum had prior NFL experience, including nine starts for the Los Angeles Rams in 2016, he was signed by the Vikings as a one-year stopgap to be the guy in the ball cap providing sideline support and give Bridgewater ample time to recover from his colossal knee injury. Bradford had just produced an injury-free career-best performance in 2016, after all, so the Vikings were banking on him. Over the last four months, though, they’ve been cashing in on Keenum, a dividend that has paid out handsomely for both parties. “We’ve got a great group of guys here,” he said, “and I think we’re all excited to be extending our season.” With offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur deftly adapting the team’s scheme to use Keenum’s mobility to better advantage and a sleeker offensive line mostly protecting him well, the Vikings have leaped up the league rankings in every significant statistical category.

But then the 3-pointers started going in. Ohio State (14-4, 5-0 Big Ten) battled back from a seven-point deficit, took a 24-22 lead with a Jae’Sean Tate dunk with 7:25 left in the first half and cruised to 91-69 rout of Maryland to remain unbeaten in the Big Ten. “I thought they were way more physical and tougher than we were in the first 10 minutes, but our guys responded.” Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann said. Keita Bates-Diop continued his torrid streak with 26 points for Ohio State, hitting 6 of 8 shots from beyond the arc.
