It wasn’t always like this, with Congress and the White House at a crisis over government funding. The House and Senate used to pass annual appropriation bills, and the president signed them into law. But in recent years the shutdown scenario has become so routine that it raises the question: Have shutdowns as a negotiating tool lost their punch? Monday brought few signs of progress. A partial shutdown that could occur at midnight Friday risks disrupting government operations and leaving hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed or working without pay over the holiday season. Costs would be likely in the billions of dollars. Trump was meeting with his team and getting regular updates, said White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Trump was also tweeting Monday to keep up the pressure. The president is insisting on $5 billion for the wall along the southern border with Mexico, but he does not have the votes from the Republican-led Congress to support it. Democrats Evan Vucci | AP President Donald Trump speaks on Dec. 11 during a meeting with Democratic leaders in the Oval Office in Washington. Trump said last week he would be “proud” to have a shutdown to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down payment to fulfill his campaign promise to build a border wall. are offering to continue funding at current levels, $1.3 billion. It’s unclear how many House Republicans, with just a few weeks left in the majority before relinquishing power to House Democrats, will even show up mid-week for possible votes. Many say it’s up to Trump and Democrats to cut a deal. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell opened the chamber Monday hoping for a “bipartisan collaborative spirit” that would enable Congress to finish its work. “We need to make a substantial investment in the integrity of our border,” McConnell said. “And we need to close out the year’s appropriation process.” Meanwhile more than 800,000 government workers are preparing for the uncertainty ahead. The dispute could affect nine of 15 Cabinetlevel departments and dozens of agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Interior, Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as national parks and forests. About half the workers would be forced to continue working without immediate pay. Others would be sent home. Congress often approves their pay retroactively, even if they were ordered to stay home. “Our members are asking how they are supposed to pay for rent, food, and gas if they are required to work without a paycheck,” said a statement from J. David Cox, Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, the large federal worker union. “The holiday season makes these inquiries especially heartwrenching.” Many agencies, including the Pentagon and the departments of Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services, are already funded for the year and will continue to operate as usual, regard- Center From page 1 from 35 counties in Ohio and West Virginia for the classes, as well as a total of 14 states and three countries. “This was the first offsite location (for the college) and it has been very successful,” said Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees Chair Paul Reed, who is also a member of the CIC.

Congress already approved funding this year for about 75 percent of the government’s discretionary account for the budget year that began Oct. 1. The U.S. Postal Service, busy delivering packages for the holiday season, wouldn’t be affected by any government shutdown because it’s an independent agency. Trump said last week he would be “proud” to have a shutdown to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down payment to fulfill his campaign promise to build a border wall. During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump promised that Mexico would pay for the wall. Mexico has refused. Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, in a meeting last week at the White House, suggested keeping funding at its current level, $1.3 billion. Trump had neither accepted nor rejected the Democrats’ offer, telling them he would take a look. “He is not going to get the wall in any form,” Schumer said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He said Republicans should join in the Democrats’ offer. “Then, if the president wants to debate the wall next year, he can.

OHIO — Ohio’s hunters checked 9,625 whitetailed deer during Ohio’s 2018 two-day deer-gun hunting season, Dec. 15-16, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). During last year’s two-day December deer-gun season, 14,115 deer were harvested. Hunters still have opportunities to pursue deer this winter. Muzzleloader season is Jan. 5-8, 2019, and archery season remains open through Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019. Find more information about deer hunting in the 2018-2019 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov. In Meigs County, 160 deer were checked in, down from 200 last year. In Gallia County, 120 deer were checked in, down from 169 last year. For the first time this year, Ohio resident hunters can purchase multiyear and lifetime licenses at wildohio.gov and at hundreds of participating agents throughout the state. License buyers can choose from 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and lifetime hunting or fishing licenses. All money generated from the sale of multiyear and lifetime licenses is deposited into the Wildlife Fund, where it will be used to protect and enhance Ohio’s wildlife populations. The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohio’s deer populations. The goal of Ohio’s Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists. Hunting Popularity Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication. STATE BRIEFS OSHP opens K-9 facility MARYSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The State Highway Patrol has opened its statewide training facility for police dogs used by the patrol and other law enforcement agencies in Ohio. The $1.4 million facility formally opened Monday in Marysville in central Ohio. The site feature classrooms, offices, dorms, kennels and a training building. It will be used to train new dogs and handlers for the patrol and other departments, as well as for required ongoing training. The patrol has trained 43 dogs since its training program started in 2015, including 31 for the patrol and 12 for other agencies.

It was a picture of the Tip-Top Potato Chip Co. headquarters, complete with trucks parked out front. For those of you who can’t remember back that far, the Tip-Top Co. was located on Garfield Street in Troy. It went out of business a long, long time ago. This is the kind of thing you do when you get older — when you’re not talking about your latest ailment, David you talk about all the great things Lindeman you remember in your hometown Contributing and how you wished they were still columnist there. It’s an odd thing that when you’re a teenager, your hometown is boring and there’s nothing to do. Then when you get older, you have all these fond memories of all the great times you had when you were younger. I usually think of Troy as being the kind of place where not much changes but when I stop to think about it that’s really not true. Consider the town square: the city has changed the traffic pattern around it about a half dozen times since I first attempted to drive my Volkswagen bug around it. The stores that surround the square have changed, too. When I think of the businesses I went to when I was young, well, — K’s is still there, of course, and the Troy Sports Center still exists, although in a different location. Brower’s is another holdover, although it, too, is in a different place. That’s about it. I have to tell you I miss Kerg’s Bakery and Jay’s. I guess most of the old banks are still banks, but they’ve all changed their names multiple times so that doesn’t really count. A lot of places have morphed into new uses. The bowling alley is a church. The Empire Restaurant is a church. The Lutheran Church is being turned into a brewery. You could get confused and get converted when all you wanted to do was go bowling, or have too much to drink when you were looking for a place to pray. The past few years have been particularly eventful. I will have a number of friends returning to Troy for a reunion next year and they’re going to be surprised about what has happened in the past five years. The old Hobart Brothers factory is now a hospital. At the location of the old Dog House, where you could go almost any time of day for something to eat (or drink), there is now a new mixed-use building. There are townhouses going up on Water Street. The lot at the corner of Race and Walnut, which has been empty since about the beginning of time, is the new home of Partners in Hope. The old boathouse at Treasure Island has been restored to its former glory and now houses a restaurant. Hobart Arena has been revitalized and expanded. Then again, my friends will be able to recognize all their old schools. They’re all still in the same places they were 57 years ago when we all went to kindergarten. We old timers like to talk about how everything used to be better, but I have to tell you Troy’s downtown is much more attractive than it was 50 years ago. I’m not sure I get the blue and orange color scheme — I feel like I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of a New York Knicks game or something — but the properties downtown are in way better shape than they used to be. Yes, there are some spots that could use redevelopment (or just downright destruction), but on the whole we’ve done all right for ourselves. Just keeping up with changes can be a little tough for someone who is so used to the way things used to be. In fact, sometimes it’s enough to make my head spin and my back hurt. But that’s an old guy’s topic for a different day. David Lindeman is a Troy resident and former editor at the Troy Daily News. He can be reached at lindy@woh.rr.com.

Is it a great concept, a good idea or just a fairy tale that kids sing about to bring hopeful harmonious wishes into the world that the next year will be better than the last? What if the only violence would be on its itself, changing our hurtful words into encouraging ones, not talking behind people’s backs but standing up for them, beating our swords to plowshares and our spears to pruning hooks? What do we do when evil rears it’s ugly head as we have often seen in the past as the Nazis did? Do we fight for peace on earth? I believe we must! But how does fighting gain peace? The will of man seems less than good as we try to lead, but God has a plan for fallen man and when we sing about the Savior’s birth, knowing or unknowing, something happens that brings a feeling of peace ably trapped, to the heart. fearing that they At the battle of were dead men the Bulge, there moments before, was an American but now there was tank officer who a hope that they had to decide to might live to see surrender to the Germans or go Benjamin Christmas.

The grief would overtake him so severely at times he would shake, and he said what really helped him was hearing about his Savior Jesus. As Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not be troubled and do not be afraid.” ( John 14:27) “Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart!” (Unknown) Jesus came to bring peace to our hearts. He said that He is the fulfillment of the law, God’s forgiveness plan, so we can walk in good will toward God and man.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2018. There are 13 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On Dec. 18, 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, was declared in effect by Secretary of State William H. Seward. On this date In 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1892, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker” publicly premiered in St. Petersburg, Russia; although now considered a classic, it received a generally negative reception from critics. In 1916, during World War I, the 10-month Battle of Verdun ended with French troops succeeding in repulsing a major German offensive. In 1917, Congress passed the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibiting “the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors” and sent it to the states for ratification. In 1940, Adolf Hitler signed a secret directive ordering preparations for a Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. (Operation Barbarossa was launched in June 1941.) In 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the government’s wartime evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast while at the same time ruling that “concededly loyal” Americans of Japanese ancestry could not continue to be detained. In 1957, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station in Pennsylvania, the first nuclear facility to generate electricity in the United States, went on line. (It was taken out of service in 1982.) In 1972, the United States began heavy bombing of North Vietnamese targets during the Vietnam War. (The bombardment ended 11 days later.) In 1987, Ivan F. Boesky THOUGHT FOR TODAY “It’s a complex fate, being an American.” — Henry James American author (1843-1916) was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a major Wall Street insider-trading scandal. (Boesky served about two years of his sentence). In 1992, Kim Youngsam was elected South Korea’s first civilian president in three decades. In 1998, the House debated articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton. South Carolina carried out the nation’s 500th execution since capital punishment resumed in 1977. In 2000, The Electoral College cast its ballots, with President-elect George W. Bush receiving the expected 271; Al Gore, however, received 266, one fewer than expected, because of a District of Columbia Democrat who’d left her ballot blank to protest the district’s lack of representation in Congress. Ten years ago: A U.N. court in Tanzania convicted a former Rwandan army colonel, Theoneste Bagosora, of genocide and crimes against humanity for masterminding the killings of more than half a million people in a 100-day slaughter in 1994. (Bagosora was sentenced to life in prison, but had his sentence reduced in 2011 to 35 years.) W. Mark Felt, the former FBI second-in-command who’d revealed himself as “Deep Throat” three decades after the Watergate scandal, died in Santa Rosa, Calif., at age 95. “Star Trek” actress Majel Barrett Roddenberry, widow of series creator Gene Roddenberry, died in Los Angeles at age 76. �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Tuesday, December 18, 2018 5 New Plat Books available to support 4-H Committee MEIGS COUNTY — Who owns Meigs County?

Steelers ride rookie Samuels past Patriots PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger didn’t want to use the word “crossroads.” He did anyway. His team mired in a three-game losing streak and with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on the other sideline Sunday — a sight that typically signals doom for Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers — the longtime quarterback understood his team’s enigmatic season had reached a tipping point. “Are we going to step up and play? Are we going to divide each other? Who knows?” Roethlisberger said after a taut 17-10 victory. “This was going to be a great challenge for us against a team that is always one of the best. I thought we answered the bell today.” In so many ways. Rookie running back Jaylen Samuels ran for a season-high 142 yards in his second NFL start. The defense that looked so vulnerable in the late going during Pittsburgh’s recent slide figured out a way to slow Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Embattled kicker Chris Boswell drilled a critical 48-yard field goal in the final minutes, and the Steelers (8-5-1) gave their playoff hopes a welcome jolt. “I knew it was a big game, it was a redemption game for last year,” said Samuels, a senior at North Carolina State last fall when Pittsburgh collapsed late in a loss to the Patriots. “I just wanted to go out there and give them my all.” Forced into action with James Conner missing his second straight game due to a sprained left ankle, Samuels said he’s never been a feature back. Funny, the fifthround pick considered a bit of a project certainly looked like one against New England (9-5). Samuels ran 19 times and caught two passes for 30 yards, including a leaping 20-yard grab on thirdand-9 on Pittsburgh’s penultimate possession that helped set up Boswell’s field goal. “I was just staying relaxed, didn’t want to stay too tensed up,” Samuels said. “Just do what I do. We knew it was going to be a hard-fought game … it was a pretty good outcome.” One that helped Pittsburgh preserve its halfgame lead over Baltimore (8-6) in the AFC North with two weeks to go. It also exorcised some demons. The Steelers had dropped five straight to New England and only beaten Brady twice in his storied career. Despite never trailing, their third win over him wasn’t assured until Morgan Burnett knocked down Brady’s heave to the end zone intended for Julian Edelman with 20 seconds to go. “It’s a big win for us,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s that time of year. We need to win this football game.” Roethlisberger threw for 235 yards with two first-half touchdowns and two interceptions. Boswell, who has struggled so badly this season the team held open tryouts during the week in search of a possible replacement, atoned for a 32-yard miss in the third quarter by drilling a 48-yarder with 2:30 remaining that provided the final margin. “He’s our kicker from start to finish and I liked that way he came back and banged that next opportunity, and that’s what this thing is about,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “You are going to be tested, we are going to be tested. Sometimes you are going to fail, but you better pass enough of them.” Missed chance A victory would have given the Patriots their 10th straight AFC East title. While they still have two shots at it while finishing the regular season at home, the road issues don’t appear to be going away. New England finished 3-5 away from Gillette Stadium, the first time the Patriots have a losing road record since 2009. “We haven’t played very well on the road,” Brady said. “Obviously what we’re doing isn’t good enough.” Brady finished 25 of 36 for 279 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Pittsburgh held tight end Gronkowski to two receptions for 21 yards. Brady flung a jump ball to Gronkowski deep in Pittsburgh territory midway through the fourth quarter that was picked off by cornerback Joe Haden, just Brady’s fifth pick in 14 games against the Steelers. “I was just trying to flick it out of bounds,” Brady said. “Didn’t want to take a sack. It shouldn’t have happened.” The uncharacteristically sloppy Patriots were flagged 14 times for 106 yards, including a handful of offensive holding calls that blunted momentum. The Patriots had a second-and-5 at the Pittsburgh 11 with 37 seconds to go when right guard Shaq Mason was hit with a holding penalty that pushed the ball back to the Pittsburgh 21. The Patriots would get no closer. “There’s holding on every play in the NFL,” Brady said. “It’s what we do, we hold. … If they’re calling it, we’ve got to do a little bit less of it.” He said it “Sometimes you got to cut your eyelids off when you want to blink when it gets thick, and we talk openly about that.” Tomlin when talking about his team’s ability to deal with adversity.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jimmy Butler’s return brought out the best in his Philadelphia teammates. Ben Simmons had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists for his third triple-double of the season, Joel Embiid scored 24 points and the 76ers routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 128-105 on Sunday. Butler scored 19 points after missing two games — both losses — with a strained groin. “He’s such a large personality and his talent is sort of a spirit he brings to our group,” coach Brett Brown said. Butler was 6 of 10 from the field and hit three 3-pointers. He gave Simmons most of the credit. “Ben is doing what he always does for us, passing the ball,” Butler said. “When he’s playing like that, the game is really easy for everybody.” Simmons had his 15th career triple-double. “Having Jimmy back helped because we had multiple guys that could put it away,” he said. “I just do what I can offensively and help find guys who are scoring. Numbers are numbers. Obviously, stat-wise, it looks good.” Landry Shamet added 16 points for Philadelphia, J.J. Redick had 14 points and Wilson Chandler 11. Cedi Osman and Jordan Clarkson each scored 18 points for Cleveland. Rodney Hood and Matthew Dellavedova each had 13 points, and rookie point guard Collin Sexton added 12.

Mayfield’s 2-yard TD toss to Antonio Callaway with just under 12 minutes left provided the winning margin for the Browns (6-7-1), who kept alive their slim hopes of ending the NFL’s longest playoff drought. The Browns still have a shot at their first winning season since 2007 and even their first playoff berth since 2002 thanks to their first win over Denver (6-8) since 1990. “I think the tough environment, winning on the road’s the most important thing,” Mayfield said. “If we don’t take care of business tonight — and obviously we have to move on and take care of business next week — none of that matters.

Joe Mixon provided just enough to give the sparse crowd a reason to cheer at the end of their final home game. Mixon ran for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns Sunday, and Cincinnati held on for a 30-16 victory over the Oakland Raiders that ended one of their longest losing streaks under coach Marvin Lewis, but couldn’t prevent the Bengals from being eliminated from playoff contention for the third straight season. The Bengals (6-8) had dropped five straight — their third-worst slump during Lewis’ 16 seasons — before finding a team struggling as much as them. Mixon’s 15-yard touchdown with 4:04 left capped his second straight 100-yard game and clinched the Bengals’ first win since October. Yes, October. “I feel like it’s been a loooooong time since we were able to do that,” Mixon said. Cincinnati distributed 44,568 tickets for its final home game. The Bengals had the secondsmallest season attendance in Paul Brown Stadium’s 19 seasons as fans showed frustration with another disappointing season under Lewis. The Steelers’ 17-10 win over the Patriots later Sunday ended the Bengals’ minuscule chances of winning the AFC North. In a few weeks, Cincinnati will be waiting to see whether Lewis is around for another year or whether the small crowds will prompt owner Mike Brown to make significant changes. The slump-busting win provided a temporary relief. “I’ve never dealt with losing my whole life, even back to grade school,” said rookie defensive end Sam Hubbard, who had two sacks and forced a fumble. “To come out with a win really feels great.” The Raiders (3-11) are already in next-year mode.

Oakland was trying to win two in a row for the first time this season, and Derek Carr was closing in on a club record for avoiding interceptions. Carr got his record, but the sloppy Raiders lost again with a nondescript performance. “I ain’t got much to talk about, guys,” tight end Jared Cook said. The Raiders’ offensive line has been depleted by injuries. They struggled to get anything going consistently, managing 297 total yards. “This stings,” coach Jon Gruden said. “It’s hard to lose. It’s a hard situation with a lot of the moving parts that we have.” With Mixon the focal point, the Bengals put together their biggest first half since their previous victory, 37-34 over Tampa Bay on Oct. 28. Lewis went for it twice on fourth down and produced a pair of touchdown drives. Mixon surged into the end zone on fourth down from the 1-yard line for a 14-0 lead in the second quarter.
