Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.cremeensking.com OU receives ‘Inspiring Programs in STEM’ award ATHENS — Two Ohio University programs have received the 2018 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the largest and oldest diversity and inclusion publication in higher education. Tech Savvy OHIO, for girls in grades 6-9 from the Appalachian region in Ohio and West Virginia, is full day of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities with real scientists. The program is sponsored by the AAUW, initially by a national AAUW grant and now by the local chapter of the AAUW. The Aspiring DOctors Precollege Program at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine at Cleveland is a comprehensive threeyear pipeline program for underrepresented minority high school students from Cleveland-area schools who are interested in careers in health care and science. The program offers a mix of academic STEM enrichment, personal mentoring and hands-on learning activities. “Connecting our nation’s young minds with opportunities for STEM education is of critical importance, and these awards demonstrate the great work being done within each program by our students, faculty and staff,” said Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis. “I am proud that OHIO’s efforts to provide STEM education for youth are being recognized on a national level.” The Inspiring Programs in STEM Award honors colleges and universities that encourage and assist students from underrepresented groups to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Ohio University will be featured, along with 77 other recipients, in the September 2018 issue of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. Tech Savvy OHIO “More than 90 girls attended our fifth year of Tech Savvy here at OHIO in May,” said Dr. Sarah Wyatt, founder of the event at OHIO and Professor of Environmental & Plant Biology. “It’s inspiring to us as faculty to see young girls and their parents come to explore and kindle a passion for science and experimentation in workshops (led by OHIO faculty) on Decoding DNA, CSI Athens, Restoring Rusty Rivers, and much more.” Wyatt added thanks to the more than 80 volunteers – faculty, students and members of the Athens community and Athens branch of AAUW – needed to make Tech Savvy happen. “The investment pays off in the smiles and excitement of the girls who participate,” she said. “Having renowned women scientists from our faculty leading handson activities with lasers, cosmic rays, bridge-building and more helps open the eyes of girls and their parents to the exciting opportunities that exist for careers in science,” said Dr. Joseph Shields, Interim Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. Wyatt noted that many girls come back to Tech Savvy year after year, and several have come back as volunteers. �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, August 19, 2018 3A LARGE AUCTION THURSDAY., AUGUST 23RD, 2018 @ 5:30 P.M.

I don’t have regular medications to take and if I wanted to walk, ride a bike, travel or jump in a kayak, I was free to do so – only constraints on my time or motivation, not my body, prevented me from doing so for the most part. Then, this summer happened. I had a health scare and that required surgery and a hospital stay, followed by returning home with “extra hardware” to manipulate when dressing, bathing and even moving. I used a walker for a bit to steady myself because my body was still healing and I’d get tired, so tired just walking around my house. Though the physical challenges were difficult, for me, the emotional hurdles were the hardest. I didn’t move like myself, I didn’t look like myself and I cried a lot because Beth all those thoughts and realities Sergent had nowhere else to go. In those Editor, OVP moments where you sit and think “what now?” even if you are lucky enough to have someone bear that weight with you, there are parts you bear alone as you sort out your new normal. Maybe this is what leads people to prayer, to a deeper faith or completely the opposite. But, being in that arena alone seems a necessary one to moving forward because this is where you decide how to deal with what has been given you. This is the birth of Plan B or Plan XYZ, depending on your journey’s specifics. During my “what now” stage, I started receiving a few “get well” cards and notes in the mail. Nothing much at first but still appreciated. Then one day, I got a large stack of cards, then another and another. This went on for weeks and I started to suspect my friends at Ohio Valley Publishing had something to do with this phenomena via a card shower announcement. The amounts ebbed and flowed but the cards and notes have been steady up until the writing of this column. They were from old friends and readers from Mason, Meigs and Gallia counties, many of whom I hadn’t heard from in years and many who only knew me as a name on a page. Still, they took the time to let me know I was in their thoughts. I’ve placed probably hundreds of card showers in our newspapers for other people without a second thought to their actual purpose, until it served a purpose for me. Besides reminding me that people cared, it reminded me of who I was, despite the fact that I moved different, I looked different and I had that hardware attached to me. I started looking forward to the mail coming each day and I was never disappointed during my “what now” month of July. To everyone who took the time to send me those notes of encouragement, I want you to know, I read them all and I saved them. I am also aware of many prayers that were said on my behalf. Thank you seems inadequate but thank you…and you know who you all are. I returned to work this week, much stronger and much further past July, though I will be having another surgery at the end of this month. I had hoped to come back only when everything was “fixed” but that’s not life, is it? Life and our bodies are not perfect or even cooperative with our schedules, at times. There are also those times you have to make the choice to go on in spite of things, not because – this leaves you “wore out” or grateful, or all of the above, for the opportunity to make a new plan. Maybe you spend Monday on the couch binge watching Netflix but by Thursday, you’re ready to take on the world. That’s life, too. Is it a Higher Power that kicks our “behinds” into motion? Perhaps. A wise person once told me “free your ‘behind’ (only they didn’t say ‘behind’), and your mind will follow.” The action and intent behind those card showers work. Messages and texts to someone who needs to be reminded that they matter, matter. (Thank you to those who also did this for me.) Find that person today that needs your good thoughts. They are out there. And, if you’re that person who needs to hear words of encouragement or acknowledgement of your struggle, I’ll leave you with what a 65-year subscriber to the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, a woman I have never met, sent me in a note on a day when I really needed it, “Just get well soon and keep the good thoughts. You are loved!” Pass it on. Beth Sergent is editor of Ohio Valley Publishing, email her at bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com. THEIR VIEW ‘Images’ not meant to be forgotten Last week’s column closed with discussion of a photograph dealing with an historic Civil War reenactment of 1977 at what was then called Rio Grande College and Rio Grande Community College. The photo was part of an illustrated history of the institution issued by Arcadia Publishing of Charleston, S.C., coauthored by Jacob L. Bapst and Dr. Ivan M. Tribe, familiar names to at least a couple of generations that either studied at or were associated with Rio Grande. An entire series of Arcadia histories, appearing under the “Images of America” banner, possess the requisite background of the towns, counties, schools and other landmarks chosen for the spotlight, but are more remarkable for the archival photos and illustrations that dominate each volume. The photos tell the story of growth, decline and rebirth of communities near and dear to all of us. Meigs County is the topic of one of the books, with Point Pleasant and Mason County amply represented in separate publications. Rio Grande’s place in Gallia County history is celebrated in the 2017 collaboration between Bapst, retired educator and archivist, and Tribe, noted historian who had a hand in the Meigs study with its originator, Jordan Pickens. And it’s not just limited to our part of the country. Some years ago, my younger sister, Liz Korycki, sent me copies of “Images of America” histories of our old today as progress stomping grounds and population in Wallkill and Gosshifts out of the hen, N.Y., that not New York City only revived memarea, originally ories but proved forecast for the highly informative 1960s and ’70s, about the places finally caught up where we grew up.

My understanding is that the show underwent a few changes over the duration, so the video may very well be a record of what it looked like in its final form. *** And if no one else will do so, I will offer congratulations to Ohio Valley Publishing, the Point Pleasant Register and its editor for winning awards in the West Virginia Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. OVP and the Register won second place in Best Special Section Division 2 for “Remembering the Silver Bridge Tragedy, 50 Years Later” that appeared Dec. 15, 2017, in the pages of the Register, The Daily Sentinel and Gallipolis Daily Tribune. OVP Editor Beth Sergent won second place for Best Lifestyles Feature in Division 2 for her examination of the history of Lakin State Hospital, and third place in Best Lifestyles Pages for another in-depth feature on the production of the film “The Mothman of Point Pleasant.” An excellent showing all around, and indicative of the work the OVP staff puts into the creation of its newspapers every day.

In 1909, the first automobile races were run at the just-opened Indianapolis Motor Speedway; the winner of the first event was auto engineer Louis Schwitzer, who drove a Stoddard-Dayton touring car twice around the 2.5mile track at an average speed of 57.4 mph.

Provide a balanced lunch by including a fruit, vegetables, a protein, whole grains and a low fat dairy or dairy substitute. How do you encourage children to eat a healthy lunch? One step is to involve the child. At the store let them choose which produce to buy. Also, find new foods and chat about the color, shape, size and feel. Another tip is having kids help with packing. Depending on the age they can wash or rinse fruit and veggies, tear lettuce or slice fruit and vegetables. Give lunch interest with variety — try tortillas, pitas wraps, flat bread, rice, and noodles. Also, change up favorites and do a veggie tortilla pizza or peanut butter banana tortilla roll up — adding cut berries for variety. For chili send butter nut squash and black bean chili; or extra lean ground chicken in place of ground beef. Try to make lunches attractive with color, different shapes and textures and cut sandwiches into appealing designs. To liven up sandwiches, put shredded carrots and an insulated bag. zucchini, sliced Make sandwiches apples or pears the night before on them. and freeze or at Offer a variety least refrigerate of protein by overnight.

Offer occasionally. A cookie with nutrients like oatmeal makes a good special treat. Nibbling on nutrient rich foods when young leads to good lifelong habits. Limit the access of unhealthy foods and have alternatives to replace them. A vegetable may not be as exciting as a brownie in the beginning. Stick it out, and rejoice in small wins. Eating is learned so it may take 15 times to try a new food to like it. If your child doesn’t like it, don’t force it but do try another time. Leading children toward eating healthy will help them achieve a more productive and gratifying life. Visit www.eatright.org, www. heart.org, or www.cfaes. osu.edu for more helpful hints like these. If you are pregnant or have a child under age 5, call the Meigs County Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) at 740-992-0392 to see if you are eligible for supplemental foods and nutrition education for you or your child.

Matthew was behind the driver seat of the vehicle with the keys in the ignition and the engine running. Matthew was removed from the vehicle and was revived. Upon searching the general area where Matthew was sitting, an uncapped needle was located under the driver seat. Matthew informed EMS that he used heroin. Matthew was transported to Holzer Medical Center for treatment. Please issue warrant.” “Ours was a call of an overdose,” said Rio Grande Police Chief Josh Davies previoiusly. “He was unresponsive. We were able to get him responsive and he was transported by squad to the hospital. We did our criminal charges and he had to be treated so there was nothing else we could do because he had to be treated by the hospital. Afterwards, I conversed with the (Gallipolis City Solicitor Adam Salisbury) regarding charges and he recommended we charge him (Preston) with OVI because he was behind the wheel of the vehicle with the keys in the ignition, the engine running and he was unresponsive.” Preston was at the hospital before Rio officers conversed with the solicitor about an OVI charge, said Davies. “There’s ways (charges can be filed),” said Davies. “Obviously, (Preston was out of Rio Grande jurisdiction at the time he was taken to Holzer Medical Center). Usually, a summons or criminal complaint will be filed (with the courts), which is just what we did. We filed a complaint against (Preston). At that time, once he’s taken by the hospital, we don’t know the extent of what’s going to happen…We have to see Bossard From page 1A meet their employee training needs,” she said. “One local employer has taken advantage of the Medical Terminology and Medical Coding courses to train their staff.

In an overdose, you may have no charges on him whatsoever.” In an attempt to follow procedure, Davies said Rio Grande police went to converse with the solicitor for legal counsel to make certain what was the best course of action to take next. The warrant, as previously illustrated in the complaint from Rio Grande police, was not issued until after the conversation with the solicitor. According to an earlier conversation with Ohio State Highway Patrol Commander Barry Call, troopers had another incident at a gas station on Jackson Pike with Preston at approximately 11:30 p.m., the same Tuesday evening. He was arrested for OVI, after going through a field sobriety test, taken back to the post and processed for the reported incident. Preston was released into the care of an individual who had the situation explained to him, that Preston was still impaired, and who signed a release form to take Preston into his custody and care. Preston was released around 1:30 a.m. in the morning, Wednesday. The fatality which resulted in Baxter’s death happened around 12:37 p.m., that afternoon. “One of (law enforcement) processes is allowing an impaired driver to get a ride (when released),” said Call. OVI charges in Ohio are typically considered misdemeanors. An OVI charge becomes a felony when a suspect has three or more previous OVI convictions within a period of 10 years, according to 4511.19 of the Ohio Revised Code. According to Gallipolis Municipal Court online records, Preston had no previous OVI charges. Court reports say he had previous encounters with law enforcement over the last decade for various issues. scription, but Bossard Memorial Library patrons can access Lynda.com content from any computer with internet access, anywhere, any time.

Earning trophies as tall as themselves, cash prizes and gift cards, the eight competitors battled it out as many youth have in the county for more than 35 years. In the “light” weight class (35-55 pounds), Grayson Duvall took first place, Colton Grubb was second, Nick Bauerbach was third, and Weston Smith was fourth. In the “heavy” weight class (56-75 pounds), Wyatt Smith topped Brooke Macinko by one inch on his final pull to take first place. Marcinko placed second, with John Turley third and Garrett Parry fourth. The participants were the first place winners during the four days of competition at the fair. Brent Rose, who is organizes and oversees the event, began the Pull of Champions by remembering the late Dan Smith who started the event when Rose himself was a competitor. Plans are being discussed on a possible “alumni pull” in memory of Smith, said Rose. Sponsors for the 2018 Meigs County Fair Kiddie Tractor Pull included Home National Bank, Hupp Landscaping, Montgomery Trailer Sales, Huck & Sherry Wagner, Fitch Farms, Grumpy’s Toy Pulling Team, Meigs County Fish and Game, Commissioner Randy Smith and The Cutting Crew in Syracuse.

The discussion topic was, “Why do we want to lose weight?” and “How to stop playing the blame game”. Leader Pat Snedden reminded the group that we are not victims and we alone are responsible for our eating habits. She said, “You have the power inside you.” She went on to tell the group that, “Believing in your self is the first step. Fix your brain and your body will follow. Get the mindset and don’t allow poor eating choices to rob you of living a healthy life”. Members talked openly about excuses that one often gives for gaining weight such as; stress, too busy to exercise, family genes, fast food is easier and cheaper, no will power and being plagued by social eating events that make it harder to eat healthy. She reminded the group that the reward for weight loss exceeds the lone benefit of looking good; it renews your body inside. Prior to Group Therapy members said the TOPS/KOPS pledges and the Pledge to the Flag. Weight Recorder, Roberta Henderson presented roll call of the 12 members present. Cindy Hyde led the group in singing TOPS songs, “You are My Sunshine” and “Topsi Topsi”. The Secretary’s report was given by Mary Beth Morrison and the Treasurer’s report by Mary Bush.

Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — In a year with a large veteran presence, a single newcomer will ultimately make the biggest difference. Marshall enters the 2018 campaign with experience, depth and talent on both sides of the football, but the Thundering Herd does have one very large question mark looming at arguably the toughest position on the gridiron — the quarterback spot. Chase Litton — a three-year starter under center — passed up on his senior season at MU by entering the NFL Draft, which led to him landing on the Kansas City Chiefs roster as undrafted free agent. Litton was the only quarterback under center for the Herd in 2017, a season in which the Green and White went 8-5 overall, tied for third at 4-4 in the East Division of Conference USA, and also defeated Colorado State (31-28) in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. Marshall enters its ninth season under head coach Doc Holliday — who is 61-42 overall and 39-25 in C-USA play prior to 2018 — and will be operating a new offense under first-year offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey. The Herd returns their lead- ing three rushers and six of their top seven receivers from a year ago, as well as 11 of their top 14 tacklers from a year ago. In all, MU returns 19 starters on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Besides the departure of Litton (3,115 passing yards and 25 touchdowns), Marshall also suffered key losses to graduation in players like tight end Ryan Yurachek (4-year starter with a team-high 10 TD grabs in 2017), kicker and punter Kaare Vedvik (led MU with 71 points, 10-of-16 on field goals and had a 44.0 punt average), and linebacker Davon Durant See HERD | 3B Marauders 3rd in TVC Ohio opener By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com ATHENS, Ohio — In nine holes, a majority of Athens County did what could not be done the previous two years. The Meigs golf team had its 14-match winning streak come to an end as the Marauders placed third at the first-of-seven Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contests Thursday at the Ohio University Golf Course. Host Alexander came away with top honors as Whit Byrd fired a 2-under par round of 33 for medalist honors. Andrew Yogt was the individual runner-up, giving the Spartans a solid 1-2 punch en route to a winning tally of 156. Athens was eight shots off the lead with a runner-up finish of 164, while the Marauders rounded out the top-half of the field with a 179. Vinton County (182) and Wellston (193) respectively placed fourth and fifth, and Nelsonville-York was sixth despite recording only one individual score. River Valley does not have a boys team this season. Wyatt Nicholson paced MHS with a 39, which ended up being the thirdbest individual score at the event. Bobby Musser was next with a 42, while Cole Arnott ended the day with a 48. Austin Mahr completed the Maroon and Gold tally with a 50. Brody Reynolds and Dawson Justice also shot rounds of 51 and 53 for Meigs. Preston Hayes and Ben Pratt both paced the Bulldogs with identical efforts of 40. Noah Nobles led the Vikings with a 40, while Hunter Cardwell also shot a 40 to guide the Golden Rockets. Clay Hall shot a 53 for the Buckeyes. The Marauders accumulated an 84-0 mark in 14 TVC Ohio matches during their back-to-back championships runs. Meigs also shared the 2015 TVC Ohio crown with Vinton County. The second TVC Ohio Division golf match is scheduled for Monday as Vinton County hosts the field at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson, Ohio.

Ohio brings momentum into 2018 By Alex Hawley team all-conference linebacker Chad Moore, and third team all-league cornerback Bradd Ellis. Hagan, Kylan Nelson, Kent Berger and Evan Croutch are the 2018 captains on the Bobcat defense. The 2017 OU defense came up with 20 takeaways, 28 sacks and a pair of touchdowns. ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ATHENS, Ohio — The Bobcats are back. With a big Bahamas Bowl victory to build off of, the Ohio football team is set for a successful 2018 campaign. The Bobcats are entering year their 14th year with head coach Frank Solich, who is the fourthlongest tenured head coach in all of NCAA football bowl sub-division. Ohio was 9-4 overall last year, losing its last two regular season games, but ending on a high note with a 41-6 triumph over UAB in the Bahamas Bowl. Ohio’s Nathan Rourke (12) attempts a pass over Kansas’ Joe Dineen Jr. (29), during the Bobcats’ 42-30 victory on Sept. 16, 2017, in Athens, Ohio. OFFENSE Junior quarterback Nathan Rourke — second team All-MAC selection last season — is on the preseason watch lists for the Manning, Maxwell, and Davey O’Brien awards. Last season, Rourke completed 161-of-292 passes for 2,203 yards, with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. On the ground, Rourke rushed for 912 yards and an Ohio-record 21 touchdowns. A.J. Ouellette — a second team All-MAC running back — carried the ball 192 times last season, gaining 1,006 yards, while scoring seven touchdowns. Ouellette was the first Bobcat back to surpass the 1,000-yard mark since the 2012 season. Papi White — second team all-conference wide receiver — led all Bobcats with 36 receptions and 631 receiving yards, despite only playing in nine games due to injury. White hauled in three touchdowns as a junior, tying him with Cameron Odom for the most receiving scores among returnees. The Bobcat offensive line will be anchored by senior guard Joe Anderson and senior tackle Joe Lowery, both All-MAC second team selections last year. The Bobcat line will have to replace center Jake Pruehs, an all-conference second team selection as a senior. Rourke, Ouellette and Lowery are team cap- tains on the offensive side of the ball. The 2017 Ohio offense averaged 39.1 points and 433.1 yards per game. The Bobcats scored 44 touchdowns on the ground and 20 through the air. DEFENSE The most decorated defender returning for the Bobcats is junior safety Javon Hagan, who was an All-MAC second team selection last year and is on the Jim Thorpe Award preseason watch list this fall. Among others to replace from the defensive side of the ball, Ohio will have to fill the shoes of first team All-MAC linebacker and current Miami Dolphin Quentin Poling, second SPECIAL TEAMS Redshirt junior place kicker Louie Zervos has made 44-of-53 field goal attempts in his first two seasons, with a career long of 51 yards coming last fall. With 228 points scored in his career, Zervos heads into the season on the Groza Award watch list. Zervos was a third team all-conference selection last year, and first team all-conference selection as a freshman. Punter Michael Farkas is also returning for his redshirt junior season, after 71 punts for an average of 41 yards a year ago. In two seasons, Farkas has punted the ball away 129 times, landing 51 inside the 20, with just six touchbacks. Neither Zervos, nor Farkas will have to worry about the ball being where it’s supposed to be on special teams, as senior Jake Hale is entering his fourth year as starting long snapper. White was an third team All-MAC punt returner last season. See OHIO | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, August 19, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel USA Gymnastics takeing steps forward BOSTON (AP) — The pep talk was short and to the point, a reminder to reigning world gymnastics champion Morgan Hurd that all was not lost. The 17-year-old had just fallen off the beam at the U.S. Classic last month, ending any serious chance she had at making a run at Simone Biles in the Olympic champion’s return to competition after a two-year break. In the moment, Hurd was frustrated. And then Tom Forster came over. The newly appointed high-performance team coordinator for the embattled USA Gymnastics women’s elite program pulled Hurd aside and put things in perspective. “He was like, ‘It’s OK because now is not your peak time anyways,’” Hurd said. “That was the exact mindset I had.” It was a small moment, one of many Forster shared with various competitors as he walked the floor during the first significant meet of his tenure. He plans to do the same when the U.S. championships start on Friday night. He insists he’s not grandstanding or putting on a show or trying to prove some sort of point about a new era of transparency in the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal. The way Forster figures it, he’s just doing what he’s always done. His title has changed. The way he acts around athletes — many of whom he’s known for years while working with the USA Gymnastics developmental program — will not. Forster will play an integral role in figuring out which gymnasts will compete internationally for the U.S. His approach is in stark contrast to longtime national team coordinator Martha Karolyi’s aloofness. Karolyi would spend meets not on the floor but watching from a table, lips often pursed and her face betraying little. It was the same during national team camps, with Karolyi often talking to the personal coaches of the athletes rather than the athletes themselves. That’s not Forster. “I never envisioned being in this role, so I never really thought about sitting at that big table and just watching,” he said. It’s a departure, one Hurd called “kind of strange” but welcome. USA Gymnastics’ response to the scandal involving disgraced former national team doctor Larry Nassar — who abused hundreds of women, including several Olympians, under the guise of medical treatment — has included a massive overhaul of the leadership and legislative changes designed to make the organization more accountable from the top down. It has also been peppered almost non-stop with buzzwords like “culture change” and “empowerment.” Ohio conference play.

Details finally trickle out on Ohio State position battles COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Preseason camp for Ohio State has been anything but normal. Superstar coach Urban Meyer has been absent, and reporters have been kept away from acting coach Ryan Day and players. Happenings from inside the shrouded fence at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center have come out only via Ohio State’s own social media channels. More details about position battles trickled out on Friday in the form of an emailed news release from Day, the co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach who has been running the show since Meyer was put on paid leave just before camp opened two weeks ago. Meyer is on the shelf while Ohio State investigates his handling of a former assistant coach who was accused of domestic violence. Besides informing the media that the team was treated to the Beyonce-Jay-Z concert at Ohio Stadium on Thursday night, Day said Herd perseverance of our program,” Day said. Training camp ends with a scrimmage on Saturday. A regular practice schedule will commence as school starts at Ohio State next week. The university says there should be some word on the Meyer investigation then , too.

The Bills won 19-17. McCarron injured as Bills down Browns, 19-17 CLEVELAND (AP) — Buffalo’s quarterback situation is more scrambled than ever. AJ McCarron sustained a potentially serious right shoulder injury, throwing the Bills’ three-way quarterback race into chaos, during a 19-17 win over the Cleveland Browns on Friday night. McCarron, who signed with Buffalo as a free agent for a chance to start after four years as a backup in Cincinnati, didn’t show any obvious signs of being hurt while he was on the field. The 27-year-old was hit hard from behind by Myles Garrett and sacked by Larry Ogunjobi, but the Bills didn’t disclose his injury until the fourth quarter. Following the game, coach Sean McDermott had little information about McCarron, who is battling rookie Josh Allen and Nathan Peterman for the starting job. “We’ll know more as we get back to Buffalo tomorrow,” McDermott said. McCarron completed just 3 of 6 for 12 yards during four series, and Buffalo’s offense gained only 22 yards on 12 plays while he was behind center. The Bills have wanted to take a cautious approach with Allen, the No. 7 overall pick who has all the physical tools and may only need game experience. He’s been coming on strong of late, and his latest perfor- mance may push McDermott to move him into the starting lineup. Allen out-performed McCarron by throwing a touchdown pass to Rod Streater, and Peterman rallied the Bills (2-0) with a 35-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to tight end Nick O’Leary. Allen fired his 2-yard TD pass to Streater in the second quarter and led the Bills on three scoring drives. He completed 9 of 13 passes for 60 yards and was sacked once. He was asked if he’s made a case to start “That’s not up to me,” he said. “That’s completely up to the coaches, and obviously whatever happened tonight with AJ, it’s some tough circumstances. Everybody that knows him knows that he’s a great dude and I’m hurting for him tonight. I sent him a little text. You hate to see it happen. “But as of now, I’m looking to improve. I know there’s a lot of things to improve on and I’ll continue to do that.” Peterman, who started two games as a rookie in 2017, was 8 of 10 for 113 yards and a score. Rookie Nick Chubb and Carlos Hyde had touchdown runs for the Browns (1-1), who were plagued by penalties and general sloppiness. Cleveland was called for seven penalties for 70 yards. Allen, who was promoted to second-string earlier this week, replaced an ineffective McCarron with the Bills trailing 7-0 and led Buffalo on two scoring drives for a 10-7 halftime lead. Allen badly misfired on his first pass attempt before settling in. Helped by a 22-yard run from Marcus Murphy, Allen took the Bills to the Cleveland 2. After two running plays were stuffed, Allen showed poise and precision with his TD pass. Dropping back, he first avoided rushing Browns end Nate Orchard and then took several steps toward the line of scrimmage before threading his pass to Streater in the back of the end zone. COLEMAN’S HOMECOMING Bills wide receiver Corey Coleman was booed after making a 7-yard catch in the third quarter. The former firstround pick asked the Browns to trade him last week after two disappointing seasons. “I think they missed me,” Coleman said, smiling. “It was good to come here and come back with a victory.” Coleman was featured on the most recent episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” and did not come off well while asking Jackson to trade him. “They should’ve showed the whole thing if they were going to show some of it,” he said. “I just laugh at it because it’s kind of funny. I’m gonna take the high road.” Turn Your Clutter INTO CASH! Sounds like he’ll be back at practice Saturday. “He’s out of the protocol. He’s a full participant,” Tomlin said. The Steelers got off to rough start after Mason Rudolph threw the interception returned by Williams. But five minutes later, Rudolph found JuJu Smith-Schuster for a 4-yard touchdown pass. Rudolph, who is competing with Joshua Dobbs for a backup job, was just 5 of 12 for 47 yards in playing the first half. Dobbs didn’t look much better after throwing a 22-yard interception returned for a touchdown by rookie cornerback Josh Jackson in the third quarter. “We’d just like to have those plays back, but the deal is you don’t get those plays back,” Tomlin said. “So, hopefully, there’s a learning process there in it for all of us.” Advertise Your Garage Sale to Thousands of Readers In Gallipolis Daily Tribune Point Pleasant Register Pomeroy Daily Sentinel 4 lines, 2 days inprint & online Only $15.00 OH-70051355 OH-70045667 ful to Rodgers. He was 2 of 4 for 35 yards in his first game at Lambeau since Sept. 28. He broke his collarbone two weeks later at Minnesota, an injury that doomed the Packers in a 7-9 season. “To be back at Lambeau was a thrill and the ovation touched me,” Rodgers said. “I have to kind of wipe away some tears in my eyes.” Starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger watched from the sideline in shorts and a T-shirt. He and second-stringer Landry Jones had already been ruled out for the game when Roethlisberger left a training camp practice on Tuesday with a possible concussion. Big Ben looked just fine while chatting with Rodgers as they walked to their respective locker rooms at halftime. After the game, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Roethlisberger was out of the concussion protocol. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

(AP) — The ovation moved Aaron Rodgers to tears. The Green Bay Packers fans showed their appreciation with the two-time NFL MVP about to take his first snaps at Lambeau Field in almost a year. Once he got behind center, Rodgers needed just one drive to look right at home back in Titletown. Rodgers connected with tight end Jimmy Graham for an 8-yard score , and Tramon Williams had a 25-yard interception return for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage of the Packers’ 51-34 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. “The biggest thing, the goal tonight with Aaron in that first drive was to get the ball in the end zone,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “And I thought we did a nice job.” The response from fans seemed just as meaning- agricultural areas, however both Gray and Fox squirrels can be found living in close proximity to each other. Both species use leaf nests and den nests in hollow trunks or branches. The much-smaller Red Squirrel is less common in the southeastern part of the state and is associated with coniferous forests. As its name suggests, it is mostly reddish in color. It is somewhat larger than a chipmunk, but smaller than the Gray Squirrel. Red, gray (and black), and fox squirrels are legal and popular game animals in Ohio. Squirrel season begins Sept. 1 and continues through Jan. 31, 2019, with hunting hours 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset. Squirrel season is closed during the deer gun season from Nov. 26 – Dec. 2. The daily bag limit is six squirrels. Common squirrel hunting implements include shotguns, .410-caliber through 12-gauge, with highpowered loads of #4, #5, or #6 shot. Hunters should use modified or full-choked barrels to hit the squirrels hiding amongst the leaves in the top of trees. Later in the season, rimfire rifles (generally chambered in 22 Long Rifle) are a good choice to take squirrels at longer ranges. For safety’s sake, shots should be limited to those squirrels on the ground or against the base of large trees. Ohio’s most populous squirrel species? The Southern Flying Squirrel. It is the most common squirrel in Ohio, but because it is strictly nocturnal and seldom seen, most people don’t realize they are surrounded by these secretive creatures.
