Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley represented the State of Ohio before the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Parole Board in Paula Rizer’s Non-Death Penalty Clemency Hearing in Columbus, Ohio. Rizer applied for clemency, speciﬁcally a pardon or commutation of sentence, based upon her claim that she killed the victim, her husband, Kenneth Rizer, Sr., because she suffered from Battered Woman Syndrome. According to a news release from Stanley, Rizer killed the victim on April 3, 2009. Evidence showed that Rizer shot the victim ﬁve times while he was seated in a recliner. Rizer originally claimed she accidentally killed the victim but later claimed she killed the victim in self-defense. Rizer ﬁnally claimed that she killed the victim in self-defense and alleged that she suffered from Battered Woman Syndrome which caused her to have a bona ﬁde belief that the victim was about to cause her great bodily harm or death at the time she killed him. Stanley and Victim Assistance Director Theda Petrasko said that Rizer has changed her story many times since the shooting, including in interviews soon after, during the two trials in the case and even as recently as Monday when she was quested by the Parole Board for approximately an hour. Following the shooting in 2009, Rizer was indicted for Aggravated Murder and Murder. Rizer’s ﬁrst jury trial took place in the fall of 2009 and resulted in an acquittal on the Aggravated Murder charge and a hung jury on the Murder charge when the jury could not reach a verdict. The jury had voted 11-1 in favor of conviction before deadlocking. Rizer’s second trial took place in January 2010, and the jury convicted her of Murder. The trial court sentenced Rizer to 15 years (plus three years on a ﬁrearms speciﬁcation) to life in prison. Rizer’s motions for post-conviction relief were denied. The Ohio Fourth District Court of Appeals upheld her conviction in 2011. The Ohio Supreme Court declined to review Rizer’s case. Rizer applied for clemency earlier this year. Clemency is an act of mercy or leniency granted upon a prisoner and exercised by the governor if recommended by the Parole Board. Pardons and commutations of sentence are forms of clemency. A pardon is an act of grace or forgiveness that remits punishment and relieves a prisoner from the consequences of a conviction. A commutation of sentence is a reduction of a sentence, stated Stanley. Regarding Battered Woman Syndrome, Stanley stated, it refers to characteristics, behavior, and symptoms associated with women who are victims of domestic violence. Battered Woman Syndrome is not a defense or justiﬁcation for committing a crime. A defendant charged with an offense involving using force against an alleged abuser will often argue she acted in self-defense and use an expert witness to argue she acted with force Sunday, September 30, 2018 s $2 Exploring ‘Dreamland’ in Gallia Dean Wright | OVP River Valley High School students gather in the RVHS computer lab Friday afternoon to voicechat with “Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic” author and journalist Sam Quinones.

Currently, the best method to reduce deaths from breast cancer is early detection…knowing can save your life.” Austin explained breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in West Virginia women. She commented October is national Breast Cancer Awareness month and the goal is to raise awareness and spread the word about the importance of early detection. Austin shared the Mason County CEOS members will be holding its annual Breast Cancer Walk on Saturday, Oct. 20.

The ﬁrst and most important step in preventing ﬂu is to get a ﬂu vaccination each year. While it is possible to get sick with ﬂu even if you have been vaccinated (although you won’t know for sure unless you get a ﬂu test), the CDC cites a few reasons this is possible: 1. “You may be exposed to a ﬂu virus shortly before getting vaccinated or during the period that it takes the body to gain protection after getting vaccinated. This exposure may result in you becoming ill with ﬂu before the vaccine begins to protect you. (Antibodies that provide protection develop in the body about 2 weeks after vaccination.) 2. You may be exposed to a ﬂu virus that is not included in the seasonal ﬂu vaccine. There are many different ﬂu viruses that circulate every year. A ﬂu vaccine is made to protect against the three or four ﬂu viruses that research suggests will be most common. 3. Unfortunately, some people can become infected with a ﬂu virus a ﬂu vaccine is designed to protect against, despite getting vaccinated. Protection provided by ﬂu vaccination can vary widely, based in part on health and age factors of the person getting vaccinated. In general, a ﬂu vaccine works best among healthy younger adults and older children. Some older people and people with certain chronic illnesses may develop less immunity after vaccination. Flu vaccination is not a perfect tool, but it is the best way to protect against ﬂu infection. Other preventive measures, recommended by the CDC, include staying away from people who are sick, covering coughs and sneezes and frequent handwashing to help slow the spread of germs that cause respiratory (nose, throat, and lungs) illnesses. So, what is the ﬂu? It is a contagious respiratory illness, believed to be spread by droplets from coughing, sneezing or talking, which can land in the mouths or noses of nearby people. It is caused by inﬂuenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs and may also be spread by touching something that has the ﬂu virus on it and then touching one’s own mouth, eye or nose. Signs and symptoms include: fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue and sometimes, vomiting and diarrhea, although this is more common in children than adults. It is important to note that not everyone with the ﬂu will have a fever. You may ask who should get vaccinated, and the answer is EVERYONE who is of age to get the vaccine, as long as it is not contraindicated for you as stated by your physician/ medical provider. You may be the only protection some age groups edness, or recurhave to help rent emesis; or them from getwho have needed ting the ﬂu.

If, unfortunately, you do ﬁnd yourself developing ﬂu symptoms, try not to panic. Most people with ﬂu have mild illness and do not need medical care or antiviral drugs and will recover in a few days to less than two weeks. If you get sick with ﬂu symptoms, in most cases, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care. If, however, you have symptoms of ﬂu and are at high risk of ﬂu complications, or are very sick or concerned about your illness, contact your health care provider. There are drugs your doctor may prescribe for treating ﬂu called antivirals. These drugs can make you better faster and may also prevent serious complications. Following ﬂu infection, moderate complications such as secondary ear and sinus infections can occur. Pneumonia is a serious ﬂu complication that can result from either inﬂuenza virus infection alone or from coinfection of ﬂu virus and bacteria. Other possible serious complications triggered by ﬂu can include inﬂammation of the heart (myocarditis), brain (encephalitis) or muscle (myositis, rhabdomyolysis) tissues, and multi-organ failure (for example, respiratory and kidney failure). Severe complications can happen to anyone, but may be more likely to happen to people who have certain chronic medical conditions, or in elderly persons. The Meigs County Health Department wants you to stay well this ﬂu season. To protect you and our community from the ﬂu and a possible ﬂu outbreak, we offer the ﬂu vaccine to those aged 6 months through adulthood. This year, we are not only offering this protection, but we are also again practicing for a much bigger potential emergency situation by hosting our Second Annual Drive-Thru Flu Shot Clinic on Oct. 6 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Meigs County Fairgrounds. Events such as this serve as an “exercise” to help us with our emergency preparedness plan and practice an effective manner of vaccinating a large amount of people in a short time period. We hope you will join us in this endeavor. If you cannot join us on Oct. 6, we will begin administration of ﬂu shots at the MCHD on Monday, Oct. 1 between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Please bring your insurance or medical card with you to the clinic. The patient is responsible for any portion that is not covered by insurance. The cost for a private pay ﬂu shot is $30 for those under age 65 and $50 for those aged 65+. We do have a very limited number of ﬂu shots available for those with no insurance coverage, and they will be given ﬁrst come, ﬁrst served. Please contact us at 740-992-6626 if you have any questions.

What do these individuals do when physical pain wreaks havoc on the body? What happens with the containers that house our mind, spirit, and essence are permanently damaged? Will scientiﬁc research be able to produce a non-addictive pain medication strong enough to elevate chronic pain suffering? Nearly 100 million Americans experience chronic pain. Pain starts in receptor nerve cells located beneath the skin and in organs throughout the body. Living with pain can be debilitating and adversely affect everyday life. www.hopkinsmedicine.org/. “Chronic pain is often deﬁned as pain lasting longer than three to six months. It also can be deﬁned as pain that lasts beyond how long it should normally take to heal. It is the opposite of acute pain, which is temporary, speciﬁc, and treatable.” www.uspainfoundation.org/. The American Chronic Pain Association (ACPA) declared the month of September as Pain Awareness Month to raise public awareness of issues in the area of pain and pain management. www. theacpa.org/. In honor of Pain Awareness Month, U.S. Pain Foundation is hosting a number of events and activities that aim to bring together Melissa people with pain and create more Martin understanding about the challenges Contributing people with pain face. The theme columnist for the 2018 campaign is #PainWarriorsUnite. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is calling for better pain management. The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 initiated the Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force to explore the responsibilities of determining whether there are gaps or inconsistencies in pain management best practices among federal agencies. Through the (Helping to End Addiction Longterm) Initiative, the National Institute of Health supports the development of new, effective, and non-addictive approaches to prevent opioid misuse through enhanced pain management. “Pain has the mysterious power to overrule everything else in life. It can be a friend when it is a symptom of a disease and prompts a patient to see the doctor. It can be an enemy when it gets you down and makes life hell. There are two sides to every picture.” Pain: The Gift Nobody Wants is the title of an article in the 1994 journal JAMA and the title of a book by authors Paul Brand (world-famous leprosy surgeon) and Philip Yancey. Dr. Brand tells his life history and experiences with pain-afﬂicted patients in three countries—21 years in India, 25 years in England, and 27 years in the United States—and reveals both sides of pain. The human body needs a warning system to alert us to pain—without it we would be oblivious to cuts, breaks, and internal diseases. I highly recommend the book, Pain: The Gift Nobody Wants —it changed how I view physical pain in the human brain and body. However, the other side of the story is chronic pain. Plain Dealer reporter Brie Zeltner wrote “Suffering and abandoned: Chronic Pain Patients Cut Off in the Opioid Era.” Zelter interviewed several individuals who suffer with chronic pain. “At doctor’s ofﬁces and drug stores they are treated with suspicion; forced to sign what they describe as humiliating and coercive contracts to receive medication; accused of crimes; subjected to random drug testing; and, in some cases, left completely without help. Most say they’ve been pressured to either drastically reduce their medication dosage or discontinue opioids completely, often with little notice and sometimes with no support.” www.cleveland.com/. Politicians, the medical community, and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) cannot forget about the population of people in chronic pain— excruciating, throbbing, and permanent pain.

THEIR VIEW Women are from nesting; men, whatever If I’ve learned anything in 20 years of marriage, it’s women who have the creative edge when it comes to domesticity. To them, an empty room is a canvas waiting to be ﬁlled with image and design. For guys, it’s everything from a man cave to a sanctum sanctorum in escaping the everyday cares of the world. The difference is that for a man, a room is a place to put all he needs to create his own universe. Television, stereo, books, posters, whatever, it becomes uniquely his own creation. And if he has anything to do with it, the room stays that way until he moves to another domicile or buys a new easy chair. I discovered this fact because my wife Beth is fond of rearranging rooms according to her own lights and designs she picks up online or from other sources. As an example, our bedroom has been in three different rooms since we moved to Vinton a few months after our wedding. More often, the purpose of the other rooms have remained the same. It’s just that the furniture has to be somewhere other than where it is within that space. This, of course, involves moving said furniture, and to say it’s not my favorite task is putting it mildly. Over the years, however, I’ve learned to go along with Beth’s whims and after straining, sweating and picking up whatever accumulated debris there is, I have to agree things look better and allow for ease of movement. My mother did the same with the living room furniture, giving it a spring and summer look that sometimes stretched into fall, but was married, and was deﬁnitely difeither abandoned ferent by winter. them or saw them On one occasion change afterward. she moved everyThe biggest came thing around in when I found my room, much myself at home to my displeasure more — and free when I came home Kevin labor for Beth’s from school.

Between work and other commitments, he remained in the world of theater, causing me to discover what a pleasure it was to work with him during the 1996 production of the classic farce “Arsenic and Old Lace” at the Ariel Theater, in which he was cast as villainous Jonathan Brewster. I had another part in the play, but ﬁlled in during rehearsals for Phil Luckeydoo, who was Doctor Einstein, Jonathan’s comical partner in crime, when he was unavailable. I found Bob had an instinctive command of the stage that lent an assurance to his portrayal, making the nights I read aloud Einstein’s lines and we played off each other a huge part of what was an enjoyable experience. Only weeks ago, Beth and I found ourselves in the Arthur G. James Cancer Center in Columbus at the same time as Bob and his wife Sherry, who were just a few ﬂoors above us. We asked Sherry via Facebook if there was anything we could do for them. She thanked us and indicated things were in hand as they awaited a room for him. It was the least we could do for Bob, who had over the summer advised me some on my own health issues. Which was so much like Bob, to help when things got tough on the not-sodissimilar paths on which we traveled. Rest well, Bob.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, Sept. 30, the 273rd day of 2018. There are 92 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 30, 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was escorted by federal marshals to the campus of the University of Mississippi, where he enrolled for classes the next day; Meredith’s presence sparked rioting that claimed two lives. On this date: In 1777, the Continental Congress — forced to ﬂee in the face of advancing British forces — moved to York, Pennsylvania. In 1791, Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute” premiered in Vienna, Austria. In 1846, Boston dentist William Morton used ether as an anesthetic for the ﬁrst time as he extracted an ulcerated tooth from merchant Eben Frost. In 1938, after co-signing the Munich Agreement allowing Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said, “I believe it is peace for our time.” In 1947, the World Series was broadcast on television for the ﬁrst time; the New York Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 5-3 in Game 1 (the Yankees went on to win the Series four games to three). In 1949, the Berlin Airlift came to an end. In 1955, actor James Dean, 24, was killed in a two-car collision near Cholame, California. In 1972, Roberto Clemente hit a double against Jon Matlack of the New York Mets during Pittsburgh’s 5-0 victory at Three Rivers Stadium; the hit was the 3,000th and last for the Pirates star.

They have went above and beyond to work with Tuckerman’s management since Aug. 2018 on getting them licensed. They have advocated for Tuckermans with the Ohio Dept. of Health and the Ohio Dept. of Agriculture to identify alternatives to licensure. Our RSs have consulted with the Village of Pomeroy regarding building approval,” added the statement. Currently there are several Level 1 businesses in the county, with only one Level 2 business, Swisher and Loshe/ Jittery Joe’s. Types of food licenses involved in this matter include: Risk Level 1 — These businesses pose potential risk to the public in terms of sanitation, food labeling, sources of food, storage practices, or expiration dates. Level 1 is the least risky of all food licenses. They are inspected once per year and cost $178. Examples of Level 1 activities include selling only prepackaged goods, although, coffee and selfservice fountain drinks are permitted. Risk Level 2 — Level 2 businesses pose a higher risk to the public than risk level 1 because of hand contact or employee health concerns but minimal possibility of pathogenic growth exists. These facilities are also inspected only once per year. The cost of a level 2 license is $203. Examples of Level 2 activities include handling non-potentially hazardous foods, holding foods for sale at the same temperature in which they were received and heating individually packaged, commercially processed, potentially hazardous foods for immediate service. As merchandise in the business was in early September, it would have required a Level 2 license as there was food items which were not pre-packaged, and therefore were handled by store employees. This mainly pertained to the “bulk candy case”, with the popcorn also an issues as it is prepared and handled. In order to be exempt from the license requirement, a store may have 200 square feet, or less, of pre-packaged, nonpotentially hazardous items. A formal letter was sent from the MCHD to Blake in mid-September stating the required corrections to be up to code. The letter stated that the matter is to be re-evaluated on Oct. 1. According to emails provided by the MCHD, communication had been taking place regarding the requirements, with Larry Fisher Executive Director of ACENet also involved in some of the meetings and communication working to help the business. The requirements include, a hand sink in or near the restroom; the three compartment sink must be moved from under the stairs (hand sink may go there); utility sink for mop water must be added; areas with missing title or plaster must be repaired; areas subject to moisture must also have nonporous surfaces for walls and ﬂoors and have coving added; one person per shift needs to be Level 1 certiﬁed in food safety. “It’s not that we don’t want to comply,” said Blake. She explained that she is currently in an older building, which previously housed a retail business, that is to be a temporary location for her. Blake does not own the building, but is working with the building owner, who is currently not local, to see what can be done. “The community is trying to help facilitate what needs to be done,” said Blake, expressing her gratitude to the merchants and others in the community for their help and support. Leading up to that Oct. 1 review, Blake has taken steps to be in compliance, beginning with a liquidation of the bulk candy. Blake posted to social media on Wednesday evening that a liquidation sale would begin when the store opened at 9 a.m. on Thursday. Arriving at work on Thursday, she said many merchants there waiting, along with a steady ﬂow of shoppers until the candy was gone by 2 p.m. Blake said her concern is that without the candy business will not be the same, but that Tuckerman’s is much more than just the candy. Health Department Administrator Courtney Midkiff stated that the health department is “pro-business and is not trying to put anybody out of business.” “Our staff have been working with the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the village to see what options are available,” added Midkiff. In addition to liquidating the candy, Blake has arranged her displays and shelves. She stated that the store is now under the 200 square feet requirement. Blake hopes that when the review takes place there can be a solution that is feasible for all parties to allow for things to move forward. “I just want to say how much I appreciate the support from my friends, customers and community, truly from the bottom of my heart. When I started ‘Tuckerman’s’ I knew I wanted it to be a place where ‘community’ would reside and ﬂourish, it has far exceeded mine and the ladies that believed in my dream ever expected. I wouldn’t change a thing about the past year and a half, I have been truly blessed by each and every one of you that have supported, shopped and believed in what we are doing,” said Blake in a statement on the business’ Facebook page Friday night. “With that being said, it’s time to let everyone calm down and truly ﬁnd a solution, not attack the Health Department who is a vital part of our community. I feel conﬁdent there will be a resolution next week …. either way it’s been the most amazing ride! It has forever changed my life and the life of others and that’s truly all I ever hoped for,” concluded Blake. Midkiff, Environmental Health Director Steve Swatzel and Registered Sanitarian Dawn Keller stated that they welcome calls from anyone who has questions or concerns about food licenses or this speciﬁc situation.

Sunday, September 30, 2018 5A Vintage lunchbox collection on sale By Dan Sewell Associated Press CINCINNATI — Look, up on the shelf! It’s Superman. There’s the king of the wild frontier himself, Davy Crockett. And over in that case is Davy Crockett again, except this time he’s Daniel Boone (we’ll explain later). And aaaaay! It’s The Fonz and the whole “Happy Days” family! A veteran auctioneer has on display a baby boomer delight: hundreds of vintage lunchboxes featuring the heroes of their childhood comic books, TV shows, cartoon strips, movies and more. “I’ve never had anything like this,” said J. Louis Karp, whose family-run business has been part of Cincinnati Dreamland From page 1A speeches…It gets to bigger issues about who we are as a country and who we are as Americans. It’s actually the tip of an iceberg and just symptoms of a larger issue.” Quinones said in his research he was surprised to see how badly the opioid epidemic had affected more metropolitan areas and that they also seemed to have some of the deepest problems in the country. He commented on the nature of how Americans frequently seemed to need to be satisﬁed immediately in their wants and believe they should go through a life without pain or difﬁculty, hence a few reasons for why the drug epidemic was happening. The illusion that a pill or drug could solve all problems and the ease with how to gather those drugs made it worse. He remarked that a little disappointment and pain in life was not a bad thing to learn from. Much of pain is temporary. He remarked on the dangers of the medical and pharmaceutical industries in the 90s frequently prescribing opiates for a variety of reasons. Some of those remarks alluded to concerns that healthcare providers were worried about competition. If one did not completely alleviate the pain of a patient, he or she might be worried they might seek out another medical provider for support. “There is such a thing as life-mangling pain, shrieking pain,” said Quinones. “We need these (drugs). They’re essential. Without them, we might not be able to do surgery. It’s just the role that these pills have and (how often they should be given out).” A student named Destiny asked Quinones if he had ever lost someone to addiction. He replied no, and that he used to smoke for many years and eventually quit. He came into his research for his Dreamland book because he was interested in writing about Mexico and lived there for a number of years since the ﬁrst years after the Civil War. “This is quite different.” Sure, you can go to any number of websites to buy old metal lunchboxes from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. But to see 250 of them in the same place, to be able to pick them up, and then spot one just like mom packed for you with a peanut butterand-jelly sandwich in the ﬁrst grade. But back to the auction. Karp regularly sells large estates loaded with rare artwork, antique furniture and collectibles. He has sold vintage lunchboxes before, but never so many. The private collection’s proceeds will beneﬁt younger generations of the owner’s family. as well. He eventually returned to the US and wanted to work on issues related to trafﬁcking and came to understand that heroin was “making a comeback.” Among Quinones’ remarks to the students, he said that much of why he loved journalism was because it led him down different roads in life and in that, learning was a process. As a journalist one was always learning. Writing was a process. Facts led him from one story to another and while one might have an opinion on the things one encounters in life, as a journalist, writing about them ethically meant the writer should not lead a reader astray by his opinion. Stories were connected in a variety of ways. A reader should be able to conclude their own opinion from the facts presented by a journalist. Quinones advised students to pay attention to language and emotionally charged words in modern media. Adjectives often used in writing or speeches could be used to manipulate opinion. He said that a great story is made of details, and it’s important for a journalist to relay those details, but to let a reader decide for themselves what their opinion was on the matter at hand. Students asked Quinones what he thought were some of the more shocking things he had learned from his research. He responded that poppies and opium had been cultivated as early as the Egyptian empires, several hundred years before history’s recording of Christ. He emphasized the point that humankind had been studying the effects of opiates for many years and that they were still the best painkillers commonly recognized by modern science. Opioids were both “Heaven and Hell.” They provided the best relief from pain yet discovered, but at the same time, they were among some the most highly addictive substances yet discovered. Humankind had a tall task in making certain they were utilized responsibly.

The AAA7 serves ten counties in southern Ohio including Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. The Agency said it was pleased to have Ohio Department of Aging Director Beverly Laubert and staff as guests at the event, as well as Gallia County Chamber of Commerce Volunteer Marianne Campbell, who was the featured guest speaker. Campbell, who has been a volunteer at the Chamber for 16 years since her retirement from Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis, has had a career in broadcasting and public relations, serving on several state and national broadcasting boards during her lifetime, including being the ﬁrst woman elected to the Board of the National Association of Broadcasters. She spoke to the group about “Volunteerism”. This year’s Area Agency on Aging District 7 “William A. Jenkins Award” was presented to Charles Harper of Lawrence County, a past Board Member and President of the Board of Trustees of the Area Agency on Aging District 7. The AAA7 presents the award annually to an outstanding contributor to the southern Ohio aging network. The award is named in memory of William A. Jenkins, a native of Gallia County, who helped build the aging network in southern Ohio through the Area Agency on Aging District 7. Harper is retired from the Lawrence County Department of Job and Family Services, where he worked for 30 years holding a number of positions throughout that time. He retired in 2002 after having served as Social Services Administrator for 13 years. Harper also worked 15 years at the Ironton-Lawrence CAO Head Start Program as Project Manager. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) presented the “Community Involvement Award” to the Brown County Seniors Alive Group. The Brown County Seniors Alive group began in 1997 and is a volunteer coalition with representatives that include consumers and agencies or organizations who work with older adults. This includes 32 people from different county entities who help promote health and wellness for seniors in Brown County. Some of the entities include hospice, home care, the Alzheimer’s Association, nutrition professionals, nursing facilities, the Senior Center, and the Area Agency on Aging District 7, just to name a few. The coalition’s goal is to enhance the quality of life by maintaining and prolonging the independence of older adults in Brown County. The group meets monthly to share resources and network. The planning of activities for seniors in Brown County is always a focus – some include chair volleyball, exercise classes, diabetes education and support, physician seminars, and Brown County Senior Citizens Day at the Brown County Fair. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 recognized three “Wellness Champions” from Lawrence County for their work with a local falls prevention event. Honored were Laura Brown, Mary Cogan and Stephanie Barnett. Ten Million Steps to Prevent Falls is a statewide event to raise awareness of older adult falls and promote strategies to prevent them. The Ohio Department of Aging’s STEADY U Ohio initiative designed the event to be statewide, and each year calls on community organizations, businesses and groups to hold local events to help add to the total number of steps for Ohio. Each local event logs the number of steps they achieve and the number is added to the statewide total. Last year, Ohio logged more than 56 million steps. Brown, Cogan and Barnett have worked together to increase participation at the event over the past three years. Brown started the event with her vision in 2016 and garnered help from her friends Cogan and Barnett to make the event bigger and better each year. The event features a walking path to record steps, health fair, community representation, and in 2017, local high schools helped add to the walk total during their lunch hour. Ofﬁcials at the state level recognized the hard work and success of the local event in Ironton. As a result of the success, ODA reached out to Brown and the Area Agency on Aging District 7 to pilot a new outreach program to engage elementary school children in the conversation of older adult falls prevention in February 2018. The campaign was called “Don’t Fall for Me, Valentine.” Students at local schools learned about falls risks and colored falls prevention-themed Valentine cards that were delivered to area seniors. Ironton was one of only two locations selected by the Ohio Department of Aging for this campaign, largely because of Brown’s leadership and support of the STEADY U initiative.

As the name indicates, the AAA7’s Hospital2Home program helps older adults in the AAA7’s 10-county district transition from the hospital to their homes. The program gives eligible patients vouchers for services like personal care and home-delivered meals. To determine those who could beneﬁt from the program, hospital discharge planners and/or social workers identify recently admitted patients who are age 60 or older, not currently on Medicaid, and have a high risk of being readmitted to the hospital. Currently, the AAA7 is working with six hospitals in the district with the Hospital2Home program including Adams County Regional Medical Center, Adena Pike Medical Center, Chillicothe VA Medical Center, Highland District Hospital, Huntington VA Medical Center and Southern Ohio Medical Center. In Hospital2Home’s ﬁrst year, over a three month period, 89 percent of patients were not readmitted to the hospital and 80 percent reported that the services they received as a result of the Hospital2Home program helped their recovery process. The Ohio Senior Health Insurance and Information Program (OSHIIP) made a surprise announcement and presented the Area Agency on Aging District 7 and AAA7 Beneﬁts Specialist Kristy Bowman with their Partnership of the Year Award. OSHIIP and the AAA7 partner on Medicare Check-Up events during open enrollment each year and work together on outreach and education for low income assistance for Medicare Part D and Medicare Savings Programs. In addition, Bowman was recognized for the daily outreach, education and one-on-one counseling she provides. In 2017, the AAA7 was able to save individuals a combined total of $760,800 through special programs or drug plan comparisons. Ombudsman Associates were recognized for their volunteer work with visiting nursing homes on a regular basis to help lessen the isolation and loneliness many residents experience, and to provide an essential voice for residents, providing advocacy and assistance for those who have concerns about their care. Volunteers recognized included: Wendy Bartholomew, Sharon Bell, Carol Carter, Sharon Hallam, Jeanette Hayburn, Sue Henson, Frances Marcum, Dena Morris, Edie Mullen, Deborah Neal, Donna Riley, Mary Ann Sainopulous, Bobbie Sampson and Sharon Stout.

Charlene Rutherford, president, welcomed the group and had the pledge to the ﬂag. For devotions Becky Zurcher told a story titled “Seeds of Faith.” She gave each one a mustard seed and had prayer before the meal. The speaker was Tony Deem, Southern Local Superintendent. He talked about new trends in teacher training, evaluations, and educational methods. He said schools have to be more accountable for the students they have. He mentioned Southern now has nurses, a dentist and hygienist — whatever it takes to take care of the well-being of the student. He also said that the principals spend about 70 percent of their time evaluating their teachers as the procedures have changed. He said that 50 percent is how proﬁcient the teacher is and 50 percent the growth a student has made in a year. The process is very complicated and everything has to be documented. There was a question and answer session that followed. For the business meeting, the secretary and treasurer’s reports were given and approved. Charlene said the Habitat for Humanity project for Meigs County will be next spring in Middleport. The service project for October will wait until next spring. Becky Zurcher reported that there were no applications received for the scholarship. She asked that if we knew of someone who would beneﬁt from this to let either she or Charlene know. Charlene thanked all for the school supplies and classroom items for the Cooperative Parish to give out. The door prizes were given to Lori Morrison, Joyce Ritchie Burgess and Gay Perrin. The next meeting will be October 18 at the Meigs Senior Center. Submitted by Janice Weber. OHIO BRIEFS Abortions rose 1 percent in ’17 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Department of Health says the number of induced abortions in the state rose 1 percent in 2017 from the previous year. The Health Department in a report released Friday said 20,893 abortions were performed last year compared with 20,672 in 2016. There were nearly 31,000 abortions in 2007. Ofﬁcials say last year’s increase comes during a downward trend in abortion numbers that began in 2001. The 2017 ratio of 144 abortions per 1,000 live births was also slightly higher than in 2016. About 10 percent of abortions last year were for women under 20 years old. One-third of terminations were obtained by women age 20-24. The agency says the vast majority of abortions were obtained in the state’s six metropolitan areas. Man released, suspect again FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a man who’d left jail after being released on bond for possessing a stolen vehicle walked about 1,000 feet before robbing a woman of her SUV outside of Cleveland. Fairview Park police say they are searching for 32-year-old Sean Vanderlin, of Cleveland, and that he should be considered dangerous. Police say Vanderlin on Thursday afternoon pulled out a utility knife and after a brief struggle drove off in the woman’s SUV. She wasn’t injured. The SUV was found Friday morning.

In addition to the testimony, Stanley submitted information to the Parole Board a week before the hearing which was reviewed prior to Monday. Victim statements were submitted by members of the victim’s family and friends of the victim, as well as a petition with 279 signatures in opposition of clemency for Paula Rizer.

Keegan Wilburn had 142 yards of his game-high 178 and two scores in the second half to pace the Buckeyes. The host Buckeyes received the opening kickoff and on the ﬁrst play, Mikey Seel hit Brandon Phillips over the middle for 34 yards. The Marauder defense held on the next three plays and Alec Taylor gave the Buckeyes a 3-0 lead with a 28-yard ﬁeld goal at the 9:48 mark of the period. The Marauders took a 7-3 lead with 3:54 left in the period, when Coulter Cleland hit a leaping Weston Baer. Baer slipped a Buckeye defender and scored from 43 yards out. Cleland had set the play up two plays earlier when he hit Zach Bartrum for 27 to the Buckeye 43. Levi Rafferty added the extra points for a 7-3 Meigs advantage. But back came the Buckeyes, ﬁve plays later Seel hit Phillips from 42 yards out and the score. Taylor added the kick for a 10-7 Nelsonville-York lead with 1:53 left in the period. The Buckeyes received a huge break on the ensuing drive, on second and 10, Abe Lundy broke a couple tackles at the line of scrimmage and broke into the clear.

The Eastern football team posted its ﬁrst shutout of Wahama since 1999 on Friday night, as the Eagles offensive soared for 21 points in the second period, en route to a 42-0 victory in a Tri Valley Conference Hocking Division contest at Bachtel Stadium in Mason County. Eastern (2-4, 2-2 TVC Hocking) appeared poised for points production on its ﬁrst offensive drive of the night, as they manufactured a 12-play 76-yard scoring drive. Blaise Facemyer provided the ﬁrst points of the contest, as he hauled in a sevenyard touchdown pass from Conner Ridenour to propel the Eagles to a 7-0 advantage with 5:54 remaining in the ﬁrst quarter. Wahama (1-5, 1-4) answered with an extended drive of its oon the following possession, but their 13-play, 51-play drive stalled inside the red zone as EHS halted the drive by forcing a turnover on downs.

Blake Newland added Eastern’s third touchdown of the game, 6:15 later, as he capped off a four-play, 73 yard drive with a six-yard scoring run to widen the margin to 21-0. The visitors closed the ﬁrst half of play with Ridenour’s second touchdown pass of the contest, as Nate Durst snagged a six-yard reception to push the Eagles advantage to 28-0 with just 24 seconds remaining until intermission. Eastern posted its fourth touchdown at the 7:51 mark of the third period, as Ridenour punched in a one-yard run to extend the lead to 35-0. The Eagles tacked on their ﬁnal score of the night — a two-yard run by Newland — with 4:19 remaining, as Maxon added her sixth successful extra point kick of the game, making it a 42-0 contest.

We have to regroup six punts in the contest. “The past few we’ve been really physical,” EHS head coach Pat Newland said following the game. “This game, we dialed it down a bit because we needed to improve in other areas. Our seniors truly held led us on the ﬁeld, everyone as a whole played really well. Our running backs are starting to run hard and the offensive line played great. Defensively, we are coming together.

Blue Angels pummel Portsmouth Ashton Webb surpasses 1,000-kill milestone By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing PITTSBURGH, Pa. — After a string of lopsided victories, the University of Rio Grande men’s soccer team showed that it can win the close games, too. The RedStorm netted a ﬁrst half goal and then survived a cautionﬁlled second stanza to post a 1-0 win over Point Park University, Thursday afternoon, in River States Conference action at Highmark Stadium. Rio Grande, which is ranked No. 7 in the latest NAIA coaches’ poll, improved to 8-0 overall and 2-0 in league play as a result of its seventh shutout victory of the season. Point Park slipped to 5-4 overall and 1-2 in league play with the loss. Overall, the Pioneers were outshot 18-6 for the game, including 15-2 in the ﬁrst half. Rio also enjoyed an 8-4 edge in shots on frame and 9-1cushion in corner kick chances. The RedStorm, who had outshot the opposition 99-9 in their previous three matches, while also not allowing a shot on goal in their last two outings, netted what proved to be the game’s only marker with just over 18-1/2 minutes left before the intermission. Freshman Nicolas Cam Orellana (Santiago, Chile) gathered in a centering pass from junior teammate James Williamson (San Jose, Costa Rica) six yards in front of the goal and pushed a shot past PPU net-minder Juan Somo- za with 18:36 remaining in the half. While the ﬁrst half of play produced no cautions of any kind, the second half saw the two squads combine for 12 cards - six on each squad. Five of the 12 violations resulted in red cards, including a pair against the RedStorm. Senior Harry Reilly (Coventry, England), who had received a yellow card caution just over ﬁve minutes into the second half, was sent off after receiving another in the 78th minute. Fellow senior Mitchell Osmond (Sydney, Australia) earned a yellow of his own just over two minutes into the second half and was forced to leave in the 83rd minute when red carded for his part in a brief tussle with Point Park’s Ricardo Merced. Reilly and Osmond will both be forced to miss Rio’s next game, which comes on Saturday in a return trip to the Steel City to face Carlow University. Merced was also ejected, just three minutes after his teammate, Tadeo D’Apollo, was given the boot. Junior Richard Dearle (Castle Donington, England) stopped four shots in goal for Rio Grande. Somoza was credited with seven saves in the loss for the Pioneers. Rio Grande’s match with Carlow on Saturday is scheduled to kickoff at 1:30 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

The Blue Angels (142, 10-0 OVC) — who’ve now won 27 straight home OVC matches — never trailed in any of the three games, scoring the ﬁrst eight points of the night en route to a 25-10 win in the ﬁrst.

We have an away match on Saturday, so it was amazing to get it here in front of our home crowd and my family.” GAHS head coach Janice Rosier noted the impact Webb has had on the Blue Angel program. “She’s just been a huge asset to this team,” Rosier said. “I’ve enjoyed having her for four years, we will miss her after this season. She’s a leader on the court, she just plays so hard, she’s a talented girl and I can’t wait to see what she does at OU.” As a team, GAHS ﬁnished with 11 aces and serve percentage of 89.2. Portsmouth had one ace in the match, but a 96.6 serve percentage. The Blue Angels earned a 53.1 hitting percentage and a 72.4 side-out percentage, while PHS had a 27 side-out percentage and a sub-zero hitting percentage. Martin led the Blue Angel service attack with 19 points, including one ace. Alex Barnes was next with 14 points and a trio of aces, followed by Taylor Burnette with 11 points and one ace. Hunter Copley had four points and an ace in the win, while Webb and Maddie Wright both ﬁnished with three points, with three and two aces respectively. Webb led the GAHS net play with 26 kills, putting her at 1,002 for her career. Maddy Petro contributed eight kills to the winning cause, Wright added three kills and a match-best two blocks, while Barnes and Martin each ﬁnished with a pair of kills. Aubrey Unroe had one block for the Blue and White, Martin earned a team-best 36 assists, while Barnes and Copley each had eight of the team’s 27 digs to lead the defense. Portsmouth — which is the last OVC school to defeat GAHS, doing so on Oct. 12, 2015 in Scioto County —fell to 2-8 in the eight-team conference. The Lady Trojans were led by Jaiden Rickett with four points. Morgan Grashel had three points for PHS, while Katie Davis added one. Gallia Academy had now defeated Portsmouth in six straight meetings, including in consecutive games on Aug. 30 in Scioto County. After a tri-match at Logan Elm on Saturday, GAHS will resume league play on Tuesday at Ironton.

Alexander sweeps Meigs By Scott Jones sjones@aimmediamidwest.com ALBANY, Ohio — Another rough night for the Maroon and Gold. The Meigs volleyball team fell to Alexander in three games for a second time this season in TriValley Conference Ohio Division play on Thursday inside in Athens County. The setback for the Lady Marauders (4-14, 1-7 TVC Ohio) provided a season sweep for the Lady Spartans having previously defeated the Maroon and Gold on Sept. 4 in Rocksprings. In the opening game, AHS jumped to a 8-2 advantage, but a 10-8 scoring run by Meigs narrowed the margin to 16-12. Alexander, however, outscored the visitors 9-2 en route to a 25-14 triumph. In the second set, the hosts charged to a 9-4 lead, before outscoring the Lady Marauders 16-14 to take a 25-18 win. The third game heavily favored the Lady Spartans, as they jumped to OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The NFL has undergone quite a few changes since the time when Jon Gruden ﬁrst walked the sideline as Oakland Raiders head coach. One constant had been Cleveland searching for a legitimate starting quarterback. Now it looks as if the Browns might ﬁnally have found their man. Twelve Dealers featuring MTS Coins of Gallipolis �)#��,��($��&� �-� ��"� %" Quality Inn No. 1 overall draft pick Baker Mayﬁeld is set to make his debut as an NFL starter on Sunday when the Browns (1-1-1) visit Gruden and the Raiders (0-3) a week after he led a comeback win in relief that snapped Cleveland’s 19-game winless streak. “I think that guy has the ‘it’ factor,” Gruden said. “He has the charisma. He has the competitiveness. He has the feel. He has the ability to be great. What he did the other day coming off of the bench, down (14) and bringing his team back at home in front of his fans in his debut was awesome.” Mayﬁeld will be the 30th starting quarterback for the Browns since they returned to NFL in 1999, a list that includes another former No. 1 overall pick in Tim Couch, ﬁrst-round ﬂameouts such as Johnny ��$&"�&!,��$! ��,��##� �� Buying and Selling U.S. Coins & Currency Manziel and journeymen such as Ken Dorsey and Luke McCown. Only Brian Hoyer has a winning record at 10-6 as the revolving door at quarterback has led to little success. The Browns drafted Mayﬁeld ﬁrst overall looking to change that history and he’s getting the opportunity quicker than planned. Coach Hue Jackson’s plan was for Mayﬁeld to sit and watch Tyrod Taylor, but that changed last week against the Jets when Taylor went out with a concussion. Mayﬁeld went 17 of 23 for 201 yards and caught a 2-point conversion pass in just more than a half, leading the Browns back from a 14-0 deﬁcit to a 21-17 win that was their ﬁrst since Dec. 24, 2016. “This is sooner than what I thought would happen because I thought that we would have PREMIUM 2-bedroom apartment OH-70075391 OH-70080488 �� by Erin Scurlock with 17 points, while Brooke Casto was next with nine service points.

We did not,” Jackson said. “There was a stark difference in how we performed when he got in there. That is the nature of this business. That is the way that it works. It is an earned business. The young man went in there, and he earned the right to be the starter.” Fast start, slow finish The Raiders have opened each game this season by taking the opening kickoff and driving for a score, followed by a three-and-out on defense. That has helped Oakland take the lead at halftime in every game so far. But the second half has been a different story and that’s why the Raiders are the second team in the past 20 seasons to start 0-3 despite leading every game at the half. Oakland hasn’t trailed for a single second in the ﬁrst three quarters this season, but has been outscored 37-3 in the fourth, leading to the three losses. “I feel like if we would’ve gotten blown out all three games, or not been ahead, then you could be pessimistic,” receiver Amari Cooper said. �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, September 30, 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 $AVE 'REEN � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � RHYMES WITH ORANGE By Hilary Price ª$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane �� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner �� ª$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Hank Ketcham’s �� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � see what’s brewing on the job market.

Pittsburgh seems to save its best for national showcases. Roethlisberger is 21-3 in regular season night games at Heinz Field. The Steelers have won nine straight appearances on Sunday night, seven of them at home. “You know the whole world is watching and you want to give it everything you have,” Roethlisberger said. No Smith This will be Baltimore’s ﬁnal game without cornerback Jimmy Smith, who’s serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancers. Smith has long been an integral part of the Ravens defense, but they’ve done just ﬁne without him. Over three games, Baltimore has allowed a total of just nine points after halftime. “You’re always chasing perfection,” Ravens coach Harbaugh said. “But (the cornerbacks) are playing very well.” Maybe, but the Steelers offer a signiﬁcant step up in class. While Brown remains as effective as ever, he’s hardly the only option at Roethlisberger’s disposal. While Brown is averaging a pedestrian 8.8 yards per grab, four of his teammates — including second-year wide receiver JuJu SmithSchuster — are averaging 13 yards per catch or more. CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Kurt Busch felt like a kid again this week. He spent two full days in a testing simulator, trying to ﬁgure out the best way to maneuver around the new “roval” course at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a hybrid of a road course and oval that has NASCAR drivers staying up at night pondering how to conquer it — or at least a way to avoid crashing and advance to the next round of the playoffs. Busch may have found something in the testing that others are still trying to learn, beating out A.J.

The Ravens went 3 for 3 last week against Denver. Dating back to last year’s ﬁnale against Cincinnati, Baltimore has 15 touchdowns in 16 trips inside the opponents’ 20. Gio’s moment The Bengals will rely heavily on Bernard for a second straight game. Bernard had 12 carries for 61 yards in the loss to Carolina, and caught ﬁve passes for 25 yards. One of Bernard’s best games came in 2014 against the Falcons, when he had 169 scrimmage yards — 90 rushing, 79 receiving — during the Bengals’ 24-10 win. tight end Austin Hooper among Ryan’s options. “It feels good to see all of us involved and we’re moving the ball like we want to move it,” Ridley said. Help coming The Bengals get back linebacker Vontaze Burﬁct after the Atlanta game. He was suspended for the ﬁrst four because he violated the NFL’s policy on performanceenhancing substances. New starters Damontae Kazee and Jordan Richards will be Atlanta’s starters at the safety spots. Wes Schweitzer took over for Levitre last week. Rookie linebacker Foye Oluokun moves into the lineup in Atlanta’s base defense, though nickel back Brian Poole started last week. ‘Bama bragging Three former Alabama players will be lined up in the passing game with a little nostalgia and pride on the line .

Busch called it “really special” to lead the ﬁeld at the roval, his fourth pole of the season. The roval is unlike anything used before in NASCAR featuring a 17-turn, 2.28-mile course has a 35-foot change in elevation. It is going to require drivers to think outside the box, particularly those who enter the elimination race in need of a good showing to advance to the round of 12. “This track is really slick and it’s challenging in a lot of areas,” said playoff contender Erik Jones, who qualiﬁed 12th. Denny Hamlin, one of four drivers on the outside looking in at the playoff race and in need of a strong ﬁnish Sunday, was one of several drivers who had problems adjusting to the new circuit which runs part of the race in the inﬁeld at CMS. He wrecked earlier in practice and qualifying The big three NASCAR’s “Big Three” also struggled. Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. all failed to reach the ﬁnal round of qualifying and will start outside of the top 12. “To ﬁgure this place out is a little tricky,” Truex said, who has already secured a spot in the next round of the playoffs. Brad Keselowski, who is one of the hottest drivers in the ﬁeld coming into the race, also failed to reach the ﬁnal round. season. Busch wasn’t retained by Stewart Haas Racing, and JTG Daugherty Racing announced Friday before the race that Ryan Preece would replace Allmendinger in the No. 47 Chevrolet next season. “I’ve got nothing to lose, (because) I don’t have a job,” Allmendinger said.

OH-70071496 Bring the noise Pittsburgh’s secondary has looked like a bit of a hot mess early, allowing Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes to throw for six touchdowns in Week 2 and Tampa Bay’s Ryan Fitzpatrick to go over 400 yards last Monday. The cure until the defensive backﬁeld ﬁgures it out is providing pressure up front. The Steelers forced four straight turnovers against the Buccaneers, three of them coming with Fitzpatrick under signiﬁcant duress, though the more mobile Flacco presents a slightly different challenge. “We know if we can get in his face, disrupt his timing it’s going to help the DBs out,” Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt. “We brought it from all over against Tampa Bay and that’s what you need to do against a veteran guy like Flacco.” percent of third downs, worst in the NFL. New Bengals defensive coordinator Teryl Austin saw indications of improvement against Carolina, when Cincinnati allowed only 2 of 7 conversions on third down in the second half. “Believe it or not, I thought we were really close to ﬁxing it this week,” Austin said. “I think we’ll have an opportunity to ﬁx that. I think we’ll be better next week.” Here are some things to look for in only the 14th meeting between the Bengals and Falcons: ries little weight when that next man doesn’t play like the starter he replaced. “This time the next man has got to be ready to tackle,” Manuel said. “We all saw that. It was nowhere near our standard a week ago.” The defensive woes have overshadowed Atlanta’s offensive revival. The Falcons lost last week despite Matt Ryan’s ﬁrst career game with ﬁve touchdown passes, including three to rookie Calvin Ridley . Atlanta also has lost left guard Andy Levitre for the season with torn triceps. The Bengals (2-1) have ample weapons to take advantage of replacement starters, even with running back Joe Mixon missing his second straight game following knee surgery. Giovani Bernard is expected to start against an Atlanta defense unable to cover running backs out of the backﬁeld for two straight weeks. Alvin Kamara (15 for 124 yards) and Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey (14 for 102 yards) each had big receiving days against the Falcons. The Falcons rank 27th overall on defense. The Bengals, only one spot better at 26th, have their own defensive concerns, especially on third down . Cincinnati has allowed opponents to convert 52 Kurt Busch wins pole for playoff race at Charlotte’s ‘roval’ OH-70080634 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger and Terrell Suggs have spent well over a decade staring across the line of scrimmage, the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and the relentless Baltimore Ravens linebacker both knowing they will meet multiple times, often in violent fashion. Their collisions — much like the rivalry between their two teams — have been memorable. So has the back and forth between the two. And while the NFL appears to be in the midst of an identity crisis of sorts as it tries to legislate some of the brutality out of the game — particularly when it comes to how defenders can (and can’t) hit quarterbacks — Roethlisberger doesn’t expect much to change on Sunday night when the Steelers (1-1-1) host the Ravens (2-1). It will be physical. It will be tight. And at no time will Suggs or any of his teammates yell “I’m sorry” at Roethlisberger before hitting him as the microphones caught Tampa Bay’s Gerald McCoy doing during Pittsburgh’s victory last Monday night. “I don’t think you ever (get) an apology from a Raven,” Roethlisberger said with a laugh. No apologies are necessary while playing what Steelers coach Mike Tomlin calls “AFC North football,” code he uses to describe a series built on respectful ﬁerceness. “We’ve been going at it with these guys it seems like forever now,” Tomlin said before adding, “you learn not to go into this game with any preconceived notion.” Good idea. The reality is both sides have evolved. Baltimore’s previous two visits to Heinz Field have ended dramatically. Antonio Brown’s “Immaculate Extension” in the ﬁnal seconds secured a division title for the Steelers on Christmas night in 2016. Chris Boswell’s late ﬁeld goal capped a wild 39-38 Pittsburgh victory last December. “They’ve turned into little mini-shootouts, and they’ve been a lot of fun to be a part of,” Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. The Steelers and the 36-year-old Roethlisberger remain one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses even with All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell’s extended absence while waiting to sign his franchise tender. It’s a group the Ravens appear to be ready to join thanks in part to a revitalized Flacco. Pittsburgh is the NFL’s seventh-highest scoring team through three weeks. Baltimore is ﬁfth. The nature of the rivalry may have changed through the years. The edge that emerges when they face each other has not. “That’s why we enjoy playing a physical game against these guys,” Flacco said. “We have to make sure they feel like that, because it’s more than just winning and losing a game. It’s beating a division opponent up a little bit, so they still have to feel the effects the next week.” ATLANTA (AP) — Defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel described safety Ricardo Allen’s season-ending torn Achilles tendon as “another devastating blow” to the Atlanta Falcons’ defense. Unfortunately for the Falcons (1-2), Manuel has made similar comments too often in the ﬁrst month of the season. Every week, it seems, the Atlanta defense has to adjust to another jarring injury . After already placing four players on injured reserve, including three top starters on defense, the Falcons will attempt to regroup when they face quarterback Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Allen was hurt early in overtime of last week’s 43-37 loss to New Orleans . The Falcons gave up 32 ﬁrst downs and 534 yards as Saints quarterback Drew Brees took advantage of a depleted defense that already has lost safety Keanu Neal for the season and linebacker Deion Jones for at least eight weeks. Defensive ends Takkarist McKinley and Derrick Shelby also were held out against New Orleans with groin injuries. McKinley is expected to play this week.

After canceling their match on Tuesday at Teays Valley Christian, the Point Pleasant vol leyball returned to its home court on Thursday night, earning a 25-13, 25-12, 25-15 victory over visiting Poca in a non-conference match in Mason County. The Lady Knights (123) dominated the Lady Dots (3-11) in the first game, never trailing in the contest, as the hosts charged to an early 7-2 advantage, before outscoring Poca 18-11 the rest of the way to earn a 25-13 victory. The Red and Black carried that momentum into the second set, as they jumped to an early 5-0 lead. The Lady Dots, however, closed the mar gin to 5-4, but the hosts manufactured a 20-9 scoring run en route to a 25-13 win in game two. The third game was tightly contested initially, as the two squads played to five ties and six lead changes, before the hosts pulled ahead at 8-7. From there, Point Pleasant never again trailed, as they outscored Poca 17-8 to close out a 25-15 win and 3-0 victory. The Lady Knights pro duced nine aces and used two different lineups over the course of the opening two games. Point Pleas ant also never trailed by more than one point dur ing all-three sets of the contest. The Red and Black service attack was led by Olivia Dotson with 15 points, including seven aces, followed by Lanea Cochran with 11 points, including a pair of aces. Haley Mihoan was next with five service points, while Peyton Jordan and Baylie Rickard followed with three points apiece, respectively.

Our starting senior Madi son Hatfield suffered a sprained ankle in practice so she was unavailable to play. Fortunately, we have a deep bench, so we had four freshman on the court tonight. Baylie Rickard stepped in for Hatfield and truly stepped up and did what she had to do. I am very pleased with her performance particularly with her pass ing, serving and setting,” Cottrill said. “Lanea Cochran was truly big in the middle all match. She really provided a lot for us out there on the floor tonight. Tristan Wilson was a really big hitter for us. I think it just clicked tonight out there. We always seem to have problems playing to our competition, this season we have strived to play our game and tonight we did. I’m very proud of these girls. “This is the first time we’ve seen Poca, hav ing not played them for three seasons, so we really didn’t know what PPHS junior Haley Mihoan prepares to serve during the Lady Knights victory over Poca on Thursday in Point Pleasant, W.Va. to expect. They are a pretty good team, but our girls came out and played very hard. They put their all into this match. I’m excited that our younger players have stepped up into a var sity role and being able to grasp our offense. They are understanding where to be on the court for coverage. I’m super excited for our younger players and their contri butions. We’ve had some girls with some sickness and injuries. We just have to stay healthy.” Point Pleasant returns to action Tuesday when it travels to Ohio Valley Christian School for a 5:30 p.m. contest. 21 Country Markets, Inc.
