For a student with limited income, losing money to a con artist can be devastating,” DeWine said. “Our goal is to help people recognize the warning signs and avoid scams.” Scams targeting students include: DeWine Grant scams. Consumers receive a message on social media or a phone call saying they’re eligible for a federal grant worth several thousand dollars. In order to receive the grant, they’re told to pay a few hundred dollars in advance to cover taxes or fees. Ultimately, it’s all a scam; there is no real grant and any money the consumer sends will be lost. Student loan relief scams. Consumers are contacted by a student loan relief service that offers to help consolidate, reduce, or eliminate their student loans. Consumers are told to pay an upfront fee or to start making their student loan payments to this service. Despite its promises, the debt relief service never reduces the consumer’s student loan debt and consumers are left in a worse financial position. Part-time job scams. Consumers find a parttime or seasonal job online. They complete an online interview and are selected for the position. As one of their first assignments, they receive a check and are told to deposit it, then immediately send some of the money to fulfill a certain task, such as paying the employer’s landlord or buying equipment. After sending the money, the consumer finds out that the employer’s check was counterfeit and the job was a scam. Apartment rental scams. A consumer finds a good deal on an apartment online and responds Photos courtesy of Meigs County Commissioners Above: Gage Smith, intern, works on digitizing journals and other documents at the Meigs County Courthouse.

(AP) — Huntington officials are warning people about an especially dangerous batch of heroin after authorities responded to more than two dozen reported overdoses within a four-hour span. Cabell County EMS Director Gordon Merry told news outlets that all the victims had been revived Monday using the opioid-overdose-reversing drug naloxone. The heroin the users had taken was laced with an unknown substance that was so strong, it sometimes took more than one dose of the drug to revive them, Merry said. “Right now we don’t know what it’s been cut with,” he said. Most of the 26 overdoses reported Monday were in an area surrounding one apartment complex, leading officials to believe the cases were connected, Merry said. He said the amount of calls that were Police ID injured man MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Police have released the identity of a man who was critically injured in a fireworks accident in Morgantown.

Professor Micheal Fultz has received tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment set to be distributed, he told The Charleston GazetteMail. Fultz said the donations will go to at least three schools: Elkview Middle and Herbert Hoover High in Kanawha County and Richwood Middle in Nicholas County. He’s reached out to other schools but hasn’t yet heard back about all their needs. Fultz started getting the word out in the science community about Court invalidates signatures By Ann Sanner “Going forward, the majority’s decision to strike valid signatures in this case based on COLUMBUS, Ohio — ‘overcounting,’ with no showing of fraud, will Backers of a proposal have unintended consequences for every aimed at controlling prospective candidate for any elected office prescription drug prices in Ohio.” must collect more sig- Associated Press natures from voters as part their effort to get the issue on Ohio ballots next year, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled. The decision is a setback for the Drug Price Relief Act’s supporters, who include the California-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Their proposal aims to keep state entities from buying drugs at prices higher than the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs pays. In Monday’s ruling , the high court said election officials erroneously counted 10,303 signatures submitted last year. Without those names, the proposal is short 5,044 valid signatures, the court found. The court said Monday if the backers get the make-up signatures, their plan must return again to the General Assembly for consideration. Supporters will contest that step, said Michael Weinstein, president of AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has offices in Ohio. “There are a lot of ambiguities in the decision, and we’re not quite clear of all the repercussions,” Weinstein said in a Tuesday interview. The ruling comes as backers are wrapping up a second round of signatures to get the — Maureen O’Connor, Chief Justice initiative on Ohio ballots. Those will be turned in as planned later this month, said attorney Don McTigue. He said the AIDS Healthcare Foundation had spent more than $900,000 in gathering this round of signers. McTigue said supporters plan to sue to recover signatures they say were erroneously rejected in January. Should they succeed, that could make the initiative’s return to the Legislature moot. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and other opponents of the proposal had challenged the plan’s signature petitions in the state’s high court. The pharmaceutical group alleged the paperwork contained flaws, such as false addresses from petition circulators and improper signature counting. A majority of justices on the seven-member court agreed with some of the opponents’ claims. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor said some signatures should be invalidated, but thought the majority went too far in tossing those due to over counting, a practice in which petition circulators attest to a higher number of signatures than what appears on each petition paper. “Going forward, the majority’s decision to strike valid signatures in this case based on ‘overcounting,’ with no showing of fraud, will have unintended consequences for every prospective candidate for any elected office in Ohio,” she wrote. O’Connor also said the state’s elections chief should not be required to return the initiative to the General Assembly. Justice Paul Pfeifer dissented in the case, saying the court lacks jurisdiction. “This court has taken on the wrong job and has done the job wrong, to the long-term detriment of Ohio election law,” he wrote. Justice Judith French, agreed with the majority, but wrote separately to raise concerns about the state’s “unworkable timeline” for such a proposed law initiated by citizens. French said the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission and state lawmakers should address the issue. “The system is broken and calls for modern amendments to fix it,” she wrote. Wright-Patterson AFB lifts advisory of contamination concerns, and WrightPatterson issued the advisory and started distributing bottled water to the at-risk population. The Dayton Daily News reports base officials now say water sample tests have consistently shown the levels of the compounds fall below the federal threshold and the drinking water is safe to drink. Wright-Patterson lifted the advisory on Aug. 11 and stopped distributing bottled water to the at-risk population, base spokeswoman Marie Vanover said. Lifting the advisory follows an agreement between the base and state environmental regulators to test the Mad River for the suspected compounds. Wright-Patterson also plans to install dozens of additional groundwater monitoring wells. “We will steadfastly continue monitoring our wells to ensure we protect our environment and keep our drinking water safe,” Col. Bradley McDonald, installation commander, said in a statement. The state Environmental Protection Agency didn’t object to lifting the advisory. But the agency said in an email to base officials that it’s imperative to continue water testing to determine whether there is “any threat posed” to Wright-Patterson’s public water system.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton had issued the advisory out of concern that the women and infants could be exposed to groundwater contamination after federal environmental authorities lowered the lifetime exposure threshold of the two compounds. The chemicals — perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid — are found in a firefighting foam that had been used for decades in training exercises and to fight fire. Federal officials say they could have adverse effects on fetuses and bottled-fed infants. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ordered two drinking water wells on the base closed in May because the need for donations after talking with science teachers he knew who were affected by the flooding. The June 23 floods killed 23 people and destroyed homes, businesses and infrastructure. The donors have included West Virginia State alumni, Marshall University, Dow, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Preiser Scientific, science equipment distributor VWR and others, Fultz said. “These students are our students, as a state, as a community, and we need to help support the schools, with whatever we can do,” Fultz said. “Without students going into the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields, the science fields, it’s going to be very hard to get them to go into the science fields at college. If we’re not graduating science people, then how are we going to diversify our future economy to help it grow?” NEWS FROM AROUND THE BUCKEYE STATE Prosecutors seeking death penalty WAUSEON, Ohio (AP) — Prosecutors in Ohio will pursue the death penalty against a man charged with killing a college student who disappeared while riding her bicycle. The decision comes as new charges were announced Tuesday against 57-year-old James Worley. A grand jury indicted him on kidnapping, tampering with evidence and corpse abuse charges as well as abduction and aggravated murder. Worley has been held without bond since authorities charged him with killing 20-year-old University of Toledo student Sierah Joughin. Joughin’s body was found in a cornfield on July 22, three days after she was bicycling just west of Toledo. Worley’s attorney has declined to comment since the arrest. A message was left with him Tuesday. Worley was convicted in the 1990 abduction of a woman who was biking near Toledo. Man fatally shot in confrontation ASHTABULA, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a robbery suspect was fatally shot during a confrontation with sheriff’s deputies in northeast Ohio. The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday outside an Ashtabula County home. A spokeswoman for the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation says agents are trying to determine what happened. She says the male suspect was shot inside a car before crashing into a utility pole. A female passenger wasn’t hurt. A gun was found in the vehicle. The spokeswoman says at least two of the four deputies at the New Lime Township home fired at the car. Sheriff William Johnson says the suspect robbed a girl at gunpoint earlier Tuesday, and a deputy radioed for help after spotting the man’s car while heading home from work. Authorities haven’t publicly identified the suspect. Ohio workers escape from scaffolding CINCINNATI (AP) — Emergency responders have converged at a high-rise building with a dangling scaffolding in downtown Cincinnati. Authorities say two workers were able to climb off the scaffolding. A Cincinnati police spokesman says they were able to “self-rescue” and reached a lower roof area. Witnesses said Tuesday they appeared to be at least 20 stories up. Police closed the street at the building near Fountain Square during the noon hour because of concerns the scaffolding could break free completely or that windows could be broken. It wasn’t known immediately what kind of work was being done when the scaffolding came partly loose. Financial adviser charged with stealing COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A financial adviser accused of stealing more than a half-million dollars from an 81-year-old client’s account has been indicted in Ohio on felony charges. A Franklin County grand jury on Monday indicted 62-year-old Jon Bret Schmidhammer, of the Columbus suburb of Dublin, on one count of theft from a person in a protected class and one count of unlawful securities practices. Court records don’t list an attorney for Schmidhammer and no phone listing for him could be found. County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien says Schmidhammer was financial adviser to the woman. O’Brien says Schmidhammer transferred more than $500,000 from the woman’s investment accounts to her bank accounts from January 2014 to July 2016 and wrote checks to himself or paid personal bills with those funds. Documentary show set on slain woman’s birthday FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Family and friends of an Ohio woman will mark her birthday by watching a documentary about her unsolved disappearance and slaying. The hour-long “Taken Too Soon: The Katelyn Markham Story” is being shown at a theater near Markham’s hometown of Fairfield, a northern Cincinnati suburb. She would have been 27 Tuesday. She was last reported seen five years ago this month. After extensive searches, her remains were found nearly two years later in a wooded area in Indiana some 25 miles away. A coroner ruled the cause of a death as a homicide, but little other information is known. Authorities say they will continue to probe any possible leads in the case.

They cannot afford treatment on their own. Capito and the 28 other lawmakers sent CMS Acting Administrator Andy Slavitt a letter asking that the exclusion be lifted “in light of the ongoing heroin and prescription opioid epidemic …” But their letter noted a similar initiative by senators in 2014. It did not receive favorable treatment. Since then, the epidemic has worsened. Virtually the entire southern half of West Virginia has a heroin overdose rate in the top category used by federal statisticians — 20 or more deaths per 100,000 people. Many other states have regions in that category, too. Federal officials are right to worry about Medicare and Medicaid finances. One means of addressing that is to limit the types of care covered by the programs. But the drug abuse epidemic demands action in every way possible by local, state and federal governments. Capito and the other senators are right to seek more involvement by Medicare and Medicaid. Without the change they seek, thousands of Americans, many of them West Virginians, will die needlessly. — Reprinted from The Journal of Martinsburg, W.Va., via The Associated Press The Daily Sentinel welcomes letters to the editor.

THEIR VIEW Improving Ohio’s business climate The American people are the proud owners of the largest and most advanced economy in the world, but this did not occur by chance. Americans have driven the success that we see today through hard work, innovation and resourcefulness. Undertakings like the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad or the ingenuity needed to invent the modern computer operating system triggered tremendous growth for our country, which led to tens of thousands of new jobs. Unfortunately, the qualities that fueled our success have been stifled by government action. All across our country, federal regulations and executive mandates have made it more challenging for businesses to be successful. Many businesses are finding that factors such as onerous EPA regulations and the increased cost of providing health insurance make it difficult to operate in the United States. Our area has been hit hard by these recent bur- dens and as a result uptick in new we have seen major business filings. losses in the coal, About 9,746 new steel and manufacbusinesses opened turing industries. in 2015, beating To offset this 2014’s recordundue burden, the setting number by Ohio Legislature 3,971 businesses.

Private industry faces enough challenges without fending off government intrusion, which is why I am proud of the pro-business policies that have been enacted here in Ohio. These efforts will provide growth opportunities for existing companies and will show out-of-state companies that Ohio is open for business. We have a long way to go, but I am confident that these reforms will put Ohio and our area on the right track. Ryan Smith, R-Bidwell, represents the 93rd District in the Ohio House of Representatives ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY … Today is Wednesday, Aug. 17, the 230th day of 2016. There are 136 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 17, 1807, Robert Fulton’s North River Steamboat began heading up the Hudson River on its successful round trip between New York and Albany. On this date: In 1863, Federal batteries and ships began bombarding Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor during the Civil War, but the Confederates managed to hold on despite several days of pounding. In 1915, a mob in Cobb County, Georgia, lynched Jewish businessman Leo Frank, 31, whose death sentence for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan had been commuted to life imprisonment. (Frank, who’d maintained his innocence, was par- doned by the state of Georgia in 1986.) In 1943, the Allied conquest of Sicily during World War II was completed as U.S. and British forces entered Messina. In 1945, Indonesian nationalists declared their independence from the Netherlands. The George Orwell novel “Animal Farm,” an allegorical satire of Soviet Communism, was first published in London by Martin Secker & Warburg. In 1962, East German border guards shot and killed 18-year-old Peter Fechter, who had attempted to cross the Berlin Wall into the western sector. In 1969, Hurricane Camille slammed into the Mississippi coast as a Category 5 storm that was blamed for 256 U.S. deaths, three in Cuba. In 1978, the first successful trans-Atlantic balloon flight ended as Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo and Larry New- THOUGHT FOR TODAY “Experience is a good school, but the fees are high.” — Heinrich Heine, German poet and critic (1797-1856). man landed their Double Eagle II outside Paris. In 1982, the first commercially produced compact discs, a recording of ABBA’s “The Visitors,” were pressed at a Philips factory near Hanover, West Germany. In 1985, more than 1,400 meatpackers walked off the job at the Geo. A. Hormel and Co.’s main plant in Austin, Minnesota, in a bitter strike that lasted just over a year. In 1987, Rudolf Hess, the last member of Adolf Hitler’s inner circle, died at Spandau Prison at age 93, an apparent suicide. In 1996, the Reform Party announced Ross Perot had been selected to be its first-ever presidential nominee, opting for the third-party’s founder over challenger Richard Lamm. In 1999, more than 17,000 people were killed when a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Turkey. Ten years ago: In a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, a federal judge in Detroit ruled that President George W. Bush’s warrantless surveillance program was unconstitutional. (A divided federal appeals court threw out the lawsuit in July 2007, and the U.S. Supreme Court later let the appeals court decision stand.) President Bush signed new rules to prod companies into shoring up their pension plans. Jordan became the first Arab state to send a fully accredited ambassador to Iraq. �WEATHER/NEWS Daily Sentinel Wednesday, August 17, 2016 5 MEIGS COUNTY CALENDAR OF EVENTS Schoonover Editor’s Note: The Daily Sentinel appreciates your input to the community calendar.

From page 1 certification, a higher certification level that is a first for our campus,” Robertson said. EED standards were created to improve performance across all areas of green building: energy savings, water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and use of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. “Schoonover’s LEED Gold certification should be a point of pride for Dean Titsworth and the College of Communication,” said Sam Crowl, project coordinator in the Office of Sustainability. “Students, faculty and staff should be pleased that they are able to work and study in a building that will use more than 40 percent less water and more than 20 percent less lighting power and that has been renovated to provide occupants with a healthier indoor environment through the careful selection of construction materials. The Office of Architecture, Design and Construction and the University community should be very proud of this project.” More than 30 percent of the project’s materials also contained recycled content, almost 50 percent of materials were manufactured in the region and the project diverted more than 75 percent of construction waste from going to a landfill.

The project is Ohio University’s first LEED Gold certification. site, the LEED certification process provides a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions to business owners, operators and, increasingly, to higher education. “Architecture, Design and Construction is pleased to be able to implement the first LEED Gold certified project on Ohio University’s Athens campus,” said Lynnette Bush Clouse, LEED accredited senior project manager in the Office of Architecture, Design and Construction. “The location of Schoonover allowed us to gain the majority of credits (19 of 21) in the Sustainable Sites section of the LEED Scorecard. The fact that we were able to reuse an existing Friday August 19 structure, had over five options for public transportation available, were close to local business and services and added no parking to the site made this possible. This will set a precedent for many of the credits that we can use for future LEED certified projects.” Several Ohio University offices, including Architecture, Design and Construction; Planning and Space Management; Facilities and the Office of Sustainability, were involved in the project. “The innovative approaches explored in the Schoonover Phase II project provide a road map for reducing the environmental impact of future projects,” Robertson said. “It is my sincere hope that this will be the first of many LEED Gold certifications for Ohio University.” POMEROY — The Pomery High School Class of 1959 will be having their regular Third Friday lunch at Fox Pizza at noon.

Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. IRVING, Texas (AP) — Conference USA goes into a new season with no changes in its lineup of teams for the first time since 2012. The league has the same 13 teams that competed for the title last season, including defending champion Western Kentucky. There will be at least one change in 2017 with UAB’s return after a two-season hiatus, and who knows what happens if there is another national shift of teams. The Big 12, a Power Five con- ference headquartered just around the corner from the C-USA office, is considering expansion of its 10-team league. “We’re not blind to the fact that that’s kind of what has been a hot topic the last couple of years … and now it looks like it’s going to pick back up,” WKU coach Jeff Brohm said. “If we take care of our business and try to be a contender every year in the league, eventually good things will happen, but we like exactly where we’re at right now.” Marshall coach Doc Holliday agrees, adding, “I’m not sure any of the other Group of Five is a better league than what we have right now.” C-USA had 12 teams from 2005-12, though some teams changed during that span. There were 14 teams in 2013 with a baker’s dozen in 2014, and again last year when FBS newcomer Charlotte came in as UAB temporarily shut down its program.

The Eastern golf team is still perfect within the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division after defeating Miller and Trimble on Monday evening, at the Meigs County Golf Course. The Eagles posted a team total of 169 on their home course, while the Falcons fired a 209 and Trimble came in with a 227 in the play six, count four format. EHS senior John Little was match medalist, recording a four-over par 38, one stroke better than his junior teammate Kaleb Honaker. A pair of sophomores rounded out the Eagle total as Ryan Harbour fired a 44 and John Harris came in with a 48. Also playing for Eastern, but not contributing to the team total were Primo Averion and Garrett Rees, who shot 49 and 51 respectively. The Eagles, also defeated South Gallia by a 193to-251 count, on Friday at Cliffside. Little led the Green, White and Gold with a 41, followed by Harbour with a 43, Honaker with a 52 and Harris with a 57. Rees and Averion scored 61 and 67 respectively, but did not count toward the team total. Waterford also also defeated SGHS on Friday by a 178-251 final. EHS returns to the course on Wednesday, when the Eagles visit reigning TVC Hocking champion Waterford. CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Gallia Academy golf team earned the team title at Monday’s Zane Trace Invitational, firing a team total of 334 in the play, five, count four format.

Americans denied gold RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Americans were denied a gold medal Monday for the first time since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and it took two big stumbles to keep the “Star Spangled Banner” on pause. One of the slips cost U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles gold on the balance beam. The other secured Shaunae Miller’s win in the women’s 400 meters over Allyson Felix, the U.S. star who missed out on her fifth Olympic gold medal. Miller, of the Bahamas, crossed .07 seconds ahead of Felix thanks to a head-first dive that came after a downpour forced a delay in the evening events and sent spectators scurrying for shelter at Olympic Stadium. Biles lost her status as Rio de Janeiro’s juggernaut after a blunder on the balance beam prevented her from a recordtying fourth gold in gymnastics at these games. The American’s shutout came on a day the Rio Games were dogged by rain, wind and fire. In the morning, there was too little wind, then too much, at the sailing regatta on Guanabara Bay, where men’s and women’s medal races were postponed until Tuesday. In the afternoon, smoke and ash from a wind-whipped wildfire billowed over the field hockey stadium in Deodoro.

On Monday, Gordon put on his pads beneath a brown No. 12 uniform for the first time in nearly two years, following his activation from the non-football injury list. “I missed it, being back here,” Gordon said. “I was hoping for the best and I was blessed to get an opportunity to come back.” The previous time Gordon practiced for Cleveland was Dec. 26, 2014. Less than two months later, he was suspended indefinitely for multiple violations of the NFL’s drug policies. Even upon reinstatement into the league by Commissioner Roger Goodell on July 25, Gordon wasn’t sure if the new Browns regime would want him to be part of the organization. He was still suspended for the first four regular-season games of 2016 and was bringing plenty of baggage back to the Browns. As it turns out, the team’s front office and new coach Hue Jackson were ready to welcome him with a clean slate. “I’m grateful to them. I definitely am,” Gordon said. “They’re not looking at my past and I’m not trying to look back toward that. We’re just ready to move forward.” Jackson, after watching the receiver practice, was seemingly glad to have made that decision. “It was great,” Jackson said. “It was good to watch him move around, catch the ball and be involved with his teammates. As I said, he’s done a great job and we’re just working our plan.” While Gordon was permitted by Goodell to practice with the team during training camp, a quad injury he suffered ready when he steps out there.” Gordon’s status for Thursday’s exhibition game against the Atlanta Falcons is in the air. With just two days of practice before the game, it’s unlikely the receiver will play. Jackson feels that Gordon doesn’t necessarily need to play this week. It’s far more important for the Browns to be patient with the pass catcher rather than rush him back into action. “We’re just working during individual offsea- that and do even betthe process,” Jackson son workouts prevented ter.” said. “This is the next Starting quarterback him from taking the Robert Griffin III is well step in the process for field for the first two him to get out, catch weeks of training camp. aware of the abilities that Gordon mentioned. balls, start getting Now that he’s healed involved and running Having played with enough to practice, around a little bit.” the receiver at Baylor, Gordon thinks he can When he does get the still be the same player Griffin has seen Goropportunity to play in that finished with 1,646 don’s skills first-hand his first game since Dec. and is excited to have yards receiving during the chance to work with 21, 2014, Gordon will a Pro Bowl season in appreciate it more than him again. 2013. ever. “We had some great “I’m the same guy.

Va.’s Howard wants elite QB status By John Raby Associated Press West Virginia’s Skyler Howard is counting on a record 2015 bowl performance to help put to rest all that talk that he wasn’t talented enough to be a starting quarterback in the Big 12. Howard heads into his senior season hoping for much more against teams he watched growing up in Fort Worth, Texas. “As a kid you want to be one of the elite quarterbacks,” he said. “But if I’m not, that’s OK, too. Because I’ve never been that guy, actually. I’ve always came from the bottom. It doesn’t surprise me that I’ve got to work my way up. I’m excited to do it. I like being the underdog because it’s what I’m used to.” Attaining elite status might be difficult considering nearly all the starting quarterbacks returning in the Big 12, among them Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, Baylor’s Seth Russell, Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes and Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph. Lightly recruited and often hearing he was too slow and too short, the 6-foot Howard fought for respect in his first full season as a starter in 2015. He was fifth among conference quarterbacks both in passing yards and total offense, and fourth in touchdown passes. He also threw the secondmost interceptions. The math shows Howard needs to improve his accuracy, and he’ll get that chance behind a veteran offensive line and a speedy group of returning receivers. Howard completed just 55 percent of his passes, throwing for 3,145 yards with 26 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Although his receivers dropped multiple throws, Howard takes the brunt of the blame. “My completion percentage definitely needs some work,” Howard said. “That’s one thing that I’m focusing on right now is just putting the ball in play. If I have more completions, then I have more yards.” A confidence boost came in the Cactus Bowl, where Howard threw for a bowl-record 532 yards and five touchdowns in a 43-42 win over Arizona State as the Mountaineers ended the season 8-5. That game let Howard and his teammates “establish a mentality that we can go out there and do this every game,” he said. “It raised our bar higher to expect good things to happen rather than not. I feel like it carried over into the offseason.” Howard also aims to avoid repeating his mistakes. During losses to ranked teams Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor and TCU in October, Howard failed to complete half his throws in each game and was intercepted six times. Three of those came against Oklahoma, when he also had two fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown. West Virginia was seventh in the 10-team league in third down conversions. Coach Dana Holgorsen wants to give Howard more time as a pocket passer and better hone his timing with his receivers, including on intermediate routes. West Virginia threw the ball only 41 percent of the time last year amid the emergence of Big 12 rushing leader Wendell Smallwood. Smallwood is now in the NFL, meaning Howard could see his production chances increase. “Winning games and losing games, everybody points the finger at me,” Holgorsen said. “Being effective in the passing game, everybody points the finger at him.” Top receiver Shelton Gibson, who had 887 yards and nine touchdowns a year ago, has no doubts about Howard’s abilities to remain in top form when the season begins at home Sept. 3 against Missouri. “Me and Skyler had that connection so long ago,” Gibson said. “It’s just there. He’s getting it done with the other receivers. Everything’s coming together.” Police chief stepping down to head NFL security WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington police chief Cathy Lanier, the first woman to lead the department and one of the nation’s longestserving and most popular big-city police chiefs, announced Tuesday that she is stepping down to become head of security for the National Football League. Lanier, 49, started her career with the Metropolitan Police Department as a patrol officer and rose through the ranks. She served as chief for nine-and-a-half years, under three mayoral administrations, overseeing reductions in crime as the nation’s capital experienced an influx of wealth that transformed once-troubled neighborhoods. “It is an honor for me to move to the next stage of my career knowing that I can use the experience and education that I have gained over the past 26 years to protect and serve all of the NFL, its fans, players and employees,” Lanier said in a letter to the department’s 3,700 officers. In her new job, Lanier will oversee the security of all 32 NFL teams and their venues, working with federal, state and local law enforcement and handling security for the Super Bowl. “We are excited to welcome to our team an individual of Cathy’s talent and extensive record of accomplishments,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Cathy joins us with a well-deserved reputation of being a tremendous communicator, innovator and relationship builder.” Lanier, a Maryland native who dropped out of high school in 9th grade and became a mother at age 15, was an inspiration to many as she rose to the department’s top job. She came from a family of police officers and joined the department after earning a high-school equivalency diploma. She later earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Lanier was head of homeland security and counterterrorism for the department when thenMayor-elect Adrian Fenty called and offered her the job of chief, without an interview. Polls consistently ranked her as the most popular public official in the city, and she had a frank, easygoing manner on television and in testimony before the D.C. Council. She was an early advocate of officers wearing body cameras, saying they would increase transparency and promote good policing. The department is in the process of outfitting all patrol officers with cameras. Washington was dubbed the nation’s murder capital during the crack epidemic of the 1990s — with more than 300 slayings a year in the city of roughly 600,000 — but violent crime had already decreased significantly by the time Lanier became chief amid the city’s booming post-9/11 economy. Homicides continued to drop to a low of 88 in 2012, although, slayings increased last year by more than 50 percent, and killings this year are continuing at 2015’s pace. Lanier clashed periodically with the city’s police union, particularly over a wave of retirements that some officers said left the department dangerously understaffed. Union treasurer Gregg Pemberton said nearly 1,000 officers had “fled” the department in the past two-and-a-half years. Coaches From page 6 The Favorites: East Division: With a 5,000-yard passer last season, WKU averaged 50 points without losing a C-USA game. The Hilltoppers return all five starting offensive linemen, a recordsetting receiver and a 1,000-yard rusher, but quarterback Brandon Doughty was a seventh-round NFL pick. WKU’s toughest league games are on the road, at the other East favorites — Middle Tennessee with its father-son coach-quarterback combo (Rick Stockstill is dean of C-USA coaches in his 11th season) and Marshall off three consecutive 10-win seasons — and Louisiana Tech. West Division: Southern Miss, the alma mater of Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, was the most-improved FBS team last season, six wins better at 9-5 while winning the West and going to its first bowl game since 2011. Coach Todd Monken left for the NFL as offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay, but USM’s record-setting quarterback is back. Fourth-year Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz (13-3 in C-USA games the last two years) has created the kind of depth that could help the Bulldogs overcome the loss of running back Kenneth Dixon (26 total TDs) and their quarterback. Top Players — Southern Miss quarterback Nick Mullens. After 4,476 yards passing and 38 TDs last season, Mullens could emerge as a top NFL prospect as a senior. — WKU receiver Taywan Taylor. A nice target for the Hilltoppers’ new quarterback after 86 catches for 1,467 yards and 17 TDs last season. — Florida Athletic defensive end Trey Hendrickson. The 6-foot-4, 270-pounder, C-USA’s sack leader, had more than one sack in five games. “This opportunity we have here is like nothing I’ve felt before or seen before and I really want to be a part of it.” NOTES: Rookie WR Corey Coleman (hamstring) returned to practice for the first time in almost two weeks, after getting injured in a scrimmage. … LT Joe Thomas (back), QB Austin Davis (concussion) WR Andrew Hawkins (hamstring), WR Ricardo Louis (hamstring), DL John Hughes (personal) and DB K’Waun Williams (personal) were all held out of practice on Monday. … DL Jamie Meder took part in first-team reps for the Browns, as Jackson said the former un-drafted free agent earned them for good play in the team’s first exhibition game against Green Bay. … Monday’s practice was the last open to fans and according to the Browns, the team drew nearly 18,000 attendees over nearly three weeks of training camp. — Louisiana Tech receiver Trent Taylor. Undersized at 5-8, he is big catching passes: 99 catches for 1,282 yards last year. — Middle Tennessee quarterback Brent Stockstill. The lefty completed two-thirds of his passes (4,005 yards, 30 TDs, nine interceptions) as a freshman starting for his dad. New Faces — Marshall linebacker Davon Durant. A top junior college player who first went to Arizona State and got dismissed there, Durant could be a key player for a defense that lost seven starters. — North Texas coach Seth Littrell. North Carolina’s playcaller the past two seasons hopes to have the same kind of spreadout, high-scoring offense in his first head coaching job. — Southern Miss coach Jay Hopson. Twice a Golden Eagles assistant in the past, Hopson was Alcorn State’s coach the past four years. — UTSA coach Frank Wilson. A firsttime college coach after six seasons as LSU’s recruiting coordinator. On The Hot Seat — Ron Turner, FIU. The Panthers have gone from one to four to five wins under Turner. With a quarterback, running back and receiver among nine returning offensive starters, they need to be even better. — Charlie Partridge, Florida Atlantic. After consecutive 3-9 seasons, the Owls have 15 returning starters from a team that lost four games by a touchdown or less. —Brad Lambert, Charlotte. There are 19 fifth-year seniors who came as freshmen for the program’s inception in 2012, a year before the first game. Could this be the last season as well for Lambert, 10-22 after a 2-10 FBS debut last year. Picks East: Middle Tennessee. West: Southern Miss.

(AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker James Harrison doesn’t want to face a suspension. He is also not interested in talking to NFL representatives, either. The NFL’s senior vice president of labor policy and league affairs, Adolpho Birch, sent a letter Monday to the NFL Players Association detailing a plan to indefinitely suspend Harrison, Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and Mike Neal if they don’t speak with the league by Aug. 25 as part of its investigation into an alleged link to performance-enhancing drugs. The players’ punishment would end at the discretion of Commissioner Roger Goodell once interviews are completed, according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press. Harrison said he isn’t interested. “I’m not going to answer questions for every little thing that some Tom, Dick and Harry comes up with,” Harrison said. “If that’s the case, somebody can come out and say that James Harrison is a pedophile. (Are) they going to suspend me and put me in an investigation for being a pedophile just because somebody said it?” Harrison said he doesn’t want to be suspended, but he is prepared to take the situation as far as New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady, who fought his four-game “Deflategate” suspension for 18 months — nearly to the U.S. Supreme Court — before deciding to no longer proceed with the legal process. His suspension begins next month. “When it comes down to it, I want to play, but it’s certain rules and things they need to go through that they didn’t even go through just to start an investigation,” Harrison said at training camp. Harrison said in June he would only agree to an interview if it were at his home and Goodell was present. He extended his invitation again on Tuesday. “Like I said before, I don’t have a problem with doing an interview,” Harrison said. “Come to my house. Bring Roger with you.” Harrison said he would “lean in the direction” of speaking with the league if the Steelers suggest an interview because he doesn’t want to let his teammates and the organization down. “I’ll have to deal with that when the time comes,” Harrison said. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he is staying out of it. “This has nothing to do with us,” Tomlin said. “This is between him and the (NFLPA) and the league. I assume that he is going to do what he needs to do.” Goodell’s power to pun- ish players has been an increasingly difficult issue between the NFL and the union in recent years, highlighted by the Brady case and that of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson , who fought his suspension over allegations of child abuse. Harrison, a 14-year veteran, is a longtime leader of the Steelers. Matthews and Peppers are key players for Green Bay’s defense, and Neal is currently a free agent who spent the past six seasons with the Packers. The NFL first notified the four players on Jan. 11 about the investigation into a report by Al-Jazeera including allegations made by Charlie Sly, who worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic, about the use of PEDs by several athletes, including the four linebackers. Sly later recanted his claims. Retired quarterback Peyton Manning was also cited in the report, but the NFL cleared him after a separate investigation in which the Broncos star granted interviews and provided all records sought by league investigators. Birch, in his letter, said the league has made “at least seven attempts” to arrange interviews with the linebackers. The players have refused to be interviewed without being presented with what they’ve called credible evidence. Affidavits were sent by the NFLPA on behalf of the players, but Birch dismissed each as statements “wholly devoid of any detail.” Harrison said in his statement, sent to Birch on July 25 by the NFLPA, that he never met nor communicated with the source of the Al Jazeera report and has never violated the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. “Neither the CBA nor the policy state that a player must agree to an OVP SPORTS BRIEFS AP SPORTS BRIEFS Wahama Meet the Teams Night West Virginia lineman Adam Pankey arrested basketball program and athletic boosters is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27, at Riverside Golf Club in Mason County.

Birch cited Article 46 of the collective bargaining agreement in noting the discipline that can come for noncooperation or obstruction. “We cannot accept your unilateral assertion that the cursory, untested statements you have submitted satisfy the players’ obligation,” Birch wrote. Harrison said Tuesday that he didn’t get a chance to read the letter sent to him by the league and that he is following the advice of union attorneys. “I’ll do what I have to do, they’ll do what they have to do and we’ll make that decision when the time comes,” Harrison said. “I’m just doing what I’m advised to do.

The three-time AL MVP was released Saturday by the New York Yankees, who owed him about $27 million for the rest of his contract, which runs through 2017. Any team could sign A-Rod for a prorated share of the major league minimum of $507,500, and Rodriguez’s hometown Miami Marlins said Sunday they were discussing whether to reach out to the 41-year-old.

The world’s fourthranked player, who withdrew from the Olympics because of a back injury, said Monday he is ready for this week’s Western & Southern Open. “I had to take some days for rehab,” the 31-year-old from Switzerland said. “I took eight days off from tennis and started playing last Monday.” Wawrinka, whose best Cincinnati finish was the 2012 semifinals, showed up for practice on Thursday and prepared to resume a season that had included three championships. He reached the French Open semifinals and the Rogers Cup at Toronto. Wawrinka, who is 31-11 this season, found time between practice sessions to watch the Olympic tennis tournament in Brazil. “It was not easy to not be there, but it would’ve been way too much to fly to Rio,” he said. Wawrinka is seeded second at Cincinnati behind Olympic singles champion Andy Murray and ahead of Spain’s Rafael Nadal, who finished fourth at the Olympics in his first tournament since injuring his left wrist at the French Open. Top-ranked Novak Djokovic and defendingchampion Roger Federer both are sidelined with injuries. “It was great to see him back,” Wawrinka said of Nadal, a possible Cincinnati semifinal opponent. “I think that was his best hardcourt tournament this year.” �2016 Meigs County Fair *Pomeroy Daily Sentinel Inside* Photos by Michael Hart Wednesday, August 17th 60669975 �2016 Meigs County Fair �2016 Meigs County Fair �60670841 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
