He makes us better!” Hopkins said his role in the project is to make geographic distribution maps for the volumes and authoring some of the chapters. “This project is a threevolume reference work covering the diversity, life history, behavior and conservation of freshwater fishes in North America. The editors needed someone to make range maps for the books. One of the editors, Brooks Burr, was my Ph.D. advisor and knew I could make them,” Hopkins said. “My job is to create maps showing where each species of fish can be found throughout North America. Most of my sabbatical will involve working on the maps for Volume 3.” The first volume of the reference set was published in July 2014, with the second to be published later this year. The third and final volume will be released in late 2017. Hopkins is making the range maps for all three volumes and has also contributed to the second volume by writing a chapter on smelts, a group of fish closely related to salmon and trout. Hopkins said his involvement with this project has been a privilege and has allowed him the unique opportunity to work alongside some of the most prominent fish biologists in the world. See RESEARCH | 2 Clinton (Co.) set to welcome Trump Presidential candidate to speak Thursday in Wilmington By Tom Barr and Gary Huffenberger For Ohio Valley Publishing WILMINGTON — Rarely, if ever, has a Clinton welcomed a Trump with open arms. But history will be made Thursday when Clinton County rolls out the red Republican carpet for 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump. The visit was announced and tickets made available to the public Monday evening via Trump’s website. He will speak at a noon rally Thursday at the Roberts Centre; gates open at 9 a.m. “We’re absolutely thrilled that Mr. Trump is coming to Clinton County,” said Clinton County GOP Chairman Tim Inwood. “This may be Clinton County, but as he showed in the primary, it’s Trump country, as he handily carried the county.” Ensuring safety Staff at the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office met Tuesday morning with Secret Service. The local deputies will assist Secret Service in FOR TICKETS: To register for up to two tickets to the event (first come, first serve), go to: www. donaldjtrump.com/ schedule/register/ wilmington-oh/. securing the Roberts Centre, said Clinton County Sheriff Ralph Fizer Jr., “to make sure everyone has a pleasant rally with hopefully no incidents.” Fizer noted this is not the first time a national candidate has held a public rally at Roberts Centre, mentioning Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and sitting Vice President Dick Cheney. In addition, Ohio Gov. John Kasich gave his annual State of the State address at the Roberts Centre in early 2015. While helping provide security at a presidential campaign rally is a big responsibility, the sheriff also can appreciate the event as an event, saying it is “neat” to have Trump visit Clinton County.

He was born April 19, 1947, in Athens. Growing up in Pomeroy, he worked at Myers’ Bakery, Starke Drug Store and delivered the Athens Messenger. He graduated from Pomeroy High School in 1966, then enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he retired after 20 years and was a Vietnam veteran. He took pride in his coin, stamp and gun collections. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thelma Howard Berry anad Joseph William Berry; his brother, David Paul Berry; and his niece, Stephanie Anne Wigal. He is survived by brothers Danny Berry, of Middleport, and Richard (Thelma) Berry of Indiana; sisters Opal (Chester) Wigal, of Middleport, Helene (Clifford) Ferrill, of Kentucky, and Harriet (Trellis) Cisco, of West Virginia; several nieces and nephews; and several great-nieces and greatnephews. At his request, there will be no funeral, but a memorial service may be conducted at a later date. DEATH NOTICE FOWLER POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — C. Joan Fowler, 75 of Point Pleasant, passed away at home. Funeral service will be 1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016, at Deal Funeral Home in Point Pleasant. Visiting hours will be 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The graveside service will follow at Ravenswood Cemetery, Ravenswood, W.Va. Study: Retention rate for W.Va. teachers above 90 percent CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A new study on the retention rates of West Virginia’s teachers has found that most educators tended to stay in the same school district from one year to the next. Charleston Gazette-Mail reports that the study reveals that on average, 90 percent of teachers and 87.7 percent of administrators stayed in the same school district from one year to the next. The retention rates were not as high for new teachers, however, as 32 percent of new educators who began teaching in the 2008-09 school year left the school system by the 2012-13 year. The study was released by the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance last week and measures rates from the 2008-09 through the 2012-13 school years. Hepatitis A from Egyptian berries infects 50 in 4 states MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — A hepatitis A outbreak linked to Egyptian strawberries has grown to more than 50 cases in four states. A health official in West Virginia says three confirmed cases in the state’s Eastern Panhandle are linked to frozen berries used at a Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Martinsburg, and another case is under investigation. Jefferson County Health Department physician director David Didden told The Journal that cases linked to the cafes in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina are being investigated as well. Virginia health officials have confirmed at least 40 of the viral infections, which can damage the liver. Tropical Smoothie Cafe representative Peyton Sadler said the contaminated strawberries have all been pulled, and now they’re using strawberries from California and Mexico. ACLU raises concerns over FBI access to crime database COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is raising concerns about potential federal access to a state crime database, which would include facial recognition data. The ACLU said Wednesday that any agreement allowing the FBI access to the database run by Ohio’s attorney general would need public input. The civil liberties group obtained records from the attorney general’s office indicating discussions about such an agreement were in the works. At issue is a searchable database that provides investigators near-instant access to records including drivers’ licenses, vehicle registrations, the sex offender registry, and defendants’ criminal history. Dan Tierney, a spokesman for the attorney general, says the FBI hasn’t made a formal request and any decision would include input from groups like the ACLU. The FBI didn’t immediately comment.

We are essentially reviewing all the research done on these fishes and distilling it down to one easily accessible set of reference books. These books are specifically designed to help guide students and other scholars in their research efforts to further our knowledge and conservation of North American fishes,” Hopkins said. Hopkins said his research has expanded his own knowledge of freshwater fishes and has been a great way to help prepare for teaching Field Ichthyology, a course on fish identification and ecology he will teach when he returns in the spring. “Working on these books has been very enlightening. Getting the information needed to make the most accurate and comprehensive maps often requires exploring historical museum collections. It has been a great experience to visit museums across the country and look at different collections of fishes, some of which date back to the mid-1700s,” Hopkins said. “We’re excited to see the project so close to being finished. I’m extremely grateful to Rio for allowing me to take this sabbatical and being supportive of my research on this project. Knowing our administration values these types of faculty endeavors is wonderful because our sabbatical work can be translated to unique learning and research experiences for our students.” Hopkins will finish his sabbatical in December and return to the classroom in the spring semester.

It’s prescribed along with a second drug, misoprostol. The FDA revised its protocol in March, allowing Ohio providers to update their practice. Supporters of the Ohio law had argued it would help protect women’s health by mandating a federally approved protocol. But the study, led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, suggests the opposite. “There is no evidence that the change in law led to improved abortion outcomes,” according to the results published Tuesday in the journal PLOS Medicine. State Rep. Tom Brinkman, a Cincinnati Republican who pushed for the law, had said Meigs From Page 1 At a meeting prior to renting the necessary equipment, the Commissioners emphasized the importance of accessible and searchable records, both to county business and the interests of the general public. The machine, called a Bookeye 4, arrived in July and had to be coaxed through the courthouse doors due to size. Gage Smith, interning at the courthouse at the time, immersed himself in the machine’s manuals. As is common with large office technologies, “it sometimes has a mind of its own,” according to Nicodemus. Despite this, the pair have made good time, capturing a little over a journal per day. Their standard process involves taking a large batch of scans, updating name and date tags on the newly created files, and creating a second digital backup. The approximately 1,000 pages per journal require about 1 gigabyte of storage. For comparison, the project would use about a third an average home computer’s storage. A second digital backup, stored in a separate physical location, makes the recorded information very resilient to loss. “Any Commissioners work that involved hunting through past records was very difficult, and any Meigs citizen wanting to look something up would have trouble” said Betsy Entsminger, who has been very involved with the venture. “Some of the books are falling apart, or will smear.” Damage to the only existing records was a concern, as the fragile documents were kept open to the public. The Commissioner’s wished to keep the journals available while still “preserving this very important part of our county’s history,” according to President Tim Ihle. They plan to adopt more robust archival procedures upon the project’s completion. The Commissioners designated tax books as the next set of county government to be digitized; Nicodemus Courtesy photos The library quality Bookeye 4 scanner is the workhorse of the digitization project. estimates up to the 1950’s should be completed before the machine’s lease expires September 12. Commissioner Bartrum enthusiastically shared “Some of these very old books have land records from the first Meigs families. I think it would be just awesome for researchers, or students, anyone, to have access to these on the computer.” The $4,300 two-month rental and intern labor is the more involved part of modernizing county records. Transcription of meeting minutes and documents were completed on typewriter until January of this year. Transition to a computer word processor now allows documentation to enter straight into the archive, with an additional physical copy added to the journals. When the scanning catches up to 2016, the twenty five journals would represent two centuries of unbroken documentation. At some point, it might be more accurate to describe the volumes as ‘tomes’, as the thousands of pages progress from calligraphy to standard handwriting to typewritten to printed text. Said Gage Smith, “I scan and read, it’s amazing how these people kept records and wrote everything down, it tells you so much” of the history of the county. And you find names you recognize, like from my own family. It’s really neat to be a part of preserving it.” 111 Court St., Pomeroy, OH, 45769 Periodical postage paid at Pomeroy, OH POSTMASTER: Send address changes to The Daily Sentinel, 111 Court St., Pomeroy, OH, 45769. he feared clinics were “passing these things out like candy.” “I’m not a scientist, but I don’t see what’s wrong with going with what the FDA says,” he told the AP in 2005 during a court fight over the law. “The FDA does all the research, and we abide by it.” The study compared years before and after Ohio’s law was in place. www.mydailysentinel.com �BUSINESS Daily Sentinel Thursday, September 1, 2016 3 Meigs business offers medical insurance for pets Staff Report POMEROY — If you haven’t heard any buzz about pet insurance yet, chances are you’ll be hearing more in the near future. In recent years, pet medical insurance has been growing rapidly in the United States. Did you know that over 30 percent of pets in the United Kingdom have pet medical insurance? While 65 percent of U.S. households include at least one pet, only 2 percent of those pets are insured today. That’s changing quickly due to advancements in pet medicine. In fact, in the past five years, the U.S. pet insurance industry has doubled in size. Bill Quickel-lnsurance Plus Agencies has partnered with Auto-Owners Insurance and Figo Pet Insurance to offer pet insurance to those in the community. Figo covers examinations, diagnostics and lab tests, surgery, treatments, hospitalization and prescription medications for accidents/injuries and illnesses. In addition, they offer chronic diseases coverage and continual coverage for chronic conditions as long as the condition is not pre-existing and has not occurred during the waiting period. “It can become financially difficult for many people if their pet is injured or faces an unexpected illness. Pet insurance offers peace of mind to pet parents,” said Bill Quickel of Insurance Plus. “Pet health insurance starts around $20 a month depending on the breed and other factors. By purchasing Figo Pet Insurance through Bill Quickel, you’ll receive a special discount.” Once your pet is insured, you’ll have access to Figo’s pet portal. The Figo Pet Cloud lets you file a claim, store all of your pet’s records, track important reminders, and more.

I am moved to pray for these children to grow in their love of education and watch them take their first steps into a foundation of lifelong success. It seems that nearly half of our congregation at Mt. Hermon Church are educators, or are employed by the education system. This has encouraged our church’s passion to be involved in the lives of children, especially those children at risk in our community. It is critical to be there for these kids and to show love and compassion to those who do not get that at home. I would encourage other churches to make a commitment of their time to engage with the schools, to ask what we can provide to the education system. There is a movement of churches across the nation speaking up and out, with organizations like Shepherding the Next Generation, to care for kids. Local churches, ours included, provide help to Eagle Packs to kids on free and reduced lunch to children who may need a little extra food throughout the week. Others provide reading volunteers to students in the second grade or midweek programs geared toward students. But it is not something the church has the capacity to handle alone. I would like to thank Sen. Bob Peterson and Rep. Ryan Smith for their encouragement of early education. The funding mechanism and quality of curriculum is a critical piece to reaching children. To care for children is important to the future of our nation and to the next generation. Adam Will Pomeroy GDC job losses affect more than employees Editor’s note: This letter to the editor exceeds the standard 300-word limit, but given the topic and its impact on the Ohio Valley community, we are publishing it in its entirety. Dear Editor, Thank you for the coverage of the layoffs at the Gallipolis Developmental Center. As much as we are very heartbroken for the employees, we would like to share our perspective as parents of a resident there. Our son, Scott, 41, has resided there for almost 14 years. We had severe difficulties with his behavior and made the heart-wrenching decision that we could no longer care for him without help. With the assistance of Scott’s SSA, we had an emergency placement to GDC in December 2003. GDC is his home and the caregivers are his family. After so many years of fighting for the rights of people with disabilities, it is unraveling right before our eyes. The powers that be are saying they are giving them choices to live and work in the community rather than a segregated facility. Many have been moved out of GDC because they either had no family to advocate for them or the guardian felt pressure to do so. We have been approached with this option, but have vehemently refused. After all, that infringed on his and our right of choice — and “one size does not fit all.” As we have told Superintendent Margaret Mossbarger, “Scott will be the last person out the door.” Now the real point — the state has decided they do not want to support all of the developmental centers in Ohio and to save face, they are painting the picture that is all about choice. We are aware of the Olmstead and CMS rulings of downsizing ICFs, but when is enough enough? They are closing two developmental centers in 2017 and the remaining centers have been cut to the core. Of course, it is all about money. I told Ginnie Whisman from the Ohio Department of Disabilities that it is like they are moving cattle around from ranch to ranch and my son is not a piece of livestock. She said she understood my feelings, but how could she when this is not her loved one? Our son is happy, healthy and loved by his caregivers. For us to have to uproot his life when GDC closes is a travesty. Most everything he needs is on the campus of GDC, such as nursing care, a medical director, access to planned activities in the community, a workplace and, most importantly, a group of people that care. Why would we want to move him out of this setting when the response time for emergencies would be almost immediate compared to the distance that EMS, sheriff, etc., would have to travel to some of the community housing, as well as many other problems too numerous to mention. All of these issues are very concerning to us. We love our son and feel he (and others there) should be treated with respect, dignity and compassion, and have the right to live where he has been for all of these years. Thank you for letting us share our viewpoint. We may be fighting a losing battle, but until we draw our last breath, we will continue to be our son’s advocate.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 1, 1939, World War II began as Nazi Germany invaded Poland. On this date: In 1715, following a reign of 72 years, King Louis XIV of France died four days before his 77th birthday. In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was found not guilty of treason. (Burr was then tried on a misdemeanor charge, but was again acquitted.) In 1905, Alberta and Saskatchewan entered Confederation as the eighth and ninth provinces of Canada. In 1914, the last passenger pigeon in captivity, “Martha,” died at the Cincinnati Zoo. In 1923, the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Yokohama were devastated by an earthquake that claimed some 140,000 lives. In 1941, the first municipally owned parking building in the United States opened in Welch, West Virginia. In 1945, Americans received word of Japan’s formal surrender that ended World War II. (Because of the time difference, it was Sept. 2 in Tokyo Bay, where the ceremony took place.) In 1951, the United States, Australia and New Zealand signed a mutual defense pact, the ANZUS treaty. In 1969, a coup in I come from a long line of hard workers. There was no privilege in any branch of my family — and I mean absolutely none. My ancestors and immediate family were factory workers, truck drivers, farmers, coal miners, and a host of other grueling occupations. To me, Labor Day is a day to salute my own heritage and a way to be thankful that my family saw fit to encourage me to go to college and pursue my own interests. But I was not coddled nor did I have it easy. I paid for my own education. I drove a truck for my dad, worked in a plastics factory, swept floors, worked in a tire and auto repair shop, and helped manage our farm and livestock. Without those experiences, I’d be a very different person and I’m grateful for them. I still do that kind of work on occasion, but, gratefully, I don’t have to depend on it for my livelihood and I have the utmost respect for those who do. So this Labor Day, regardless of your occupation, income or professional position, consider those who might have it tougher or may not have the same privileges. Labor Day celebrates all workers, but the highest tribute should go to those who do the hardest work and continue to maintain the standard of living for Americans in all walks of life. Gery L.

Impact on local economy Clinton County Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Debbie Stamper said it’s difficult to put a dollar figure on the local economic impact of such an event. “While the majority of attendees will drive in for the day and return home, we are keenly aware of the opportunity it presents to showcase the Roberts Centre,” Stamper said. “You never know how much future business may be cultivated. “And there will, of course, be spending at our local eateries and gas stations, another positive takeaway.” In the national spotlight “This is an exciting opportunity for the people of Wilmington and southwest Ohio to participate in the political process and hear first-hand from a presidential candidate,” said Ohio House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger, a Republican of Clarksville in Clinton County. “Ohioans probably know better than anybody the importance of the presidential election and understand just how vital Ohio is to determining the next president. Every person in Ohio holds a great deal of influence over the future direction of our country, which is a privilege that not every state can claim.” “I encourage men and women in Wilmington to attend the rally and show the entire nation the kind of spirit and enthusiasm that our city shares.” Clinton County Commissioner Mike Curry said it’s always a good thing when a national candidate visits the community and “sees what we’re about.” “It’s a good opportunity for our community to be in the spotlight again,” said Curry. He plans to be at the mid-day Thursday event.

Clinton County Commissioner Patrick Haley said anytime a presidential candidate comes to Clinton County, it puts a spotlight on the local community, “which I think is a good thing for a variety of reasons.” He said he thinks Trump has run an effective antistatus quo campaign. “Many people in America feel there is a time for change, back to a more conservative philosophy, and that has broad appeal to the electorate,” said Haley. He is going to attend the rally where he anticipates a massive turnout from the region. Clinton County Commissioner Kerry Steed has registered for event tickets.

The Lady Lancers stormed out to an early 6-0 cushion in the opening contest, but MHS responded by scoring a dozen of the next 14 points for a 12-8 edge. The Lady Marauders followed with a 12-7 run to secure their largest lead of Game 1 at 24-15, but FHHS answered with three straight points before ultimately bowing out in the seven-point decision. Meigs rode that momentum into Game 2 as the hosts stormed out to a trio of six-point leads, the last of which came at 18-12. Fed Hock, however, reeled off seven straight points to take its first lead at 19-18. Both teams battled through ties at 21- and 23-all, but the Maroon and Gold broke serve and added a service point for a two-point win and a 2-0 match advantage. There were eight ties and nine lead changes alone in Game 3, with Fed Hock jumping out to an early 7-2 cushion before MHS rallied back to claim its first lead of the third contest at 22-21.

Kaepernick prepares as attention grows SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Colin Kaepernick will get one more chance to impress coach Chip Kelly before the San Francisco 49ers announce their starting quarterback even as the debate surrounding Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the national anthem remains heated. Kelly said Tuesday that Kaepernick will play in the team’s final exhibition game Thursday night in San Diego after missing the first two preseason games with a tired shoulder. This will be Kaepernick’s first game since he spoke publicly over his anthem protest, saying he won’t stand during the anthem because of what he described as oppression of minorities in the United States. The 49ers declined to comment on whether there will be increased security in place for the game in San Diego when Kaepernick has said he once again will sit during the national anthem. Blaine Gabbert, who is also in the running for the starting job, won’t play because he has gotten 30 more plays in the preseason and Kelly does not need to evaluate him further. Kelly said he will pick a starter for the regular season opener against Los Angeles on Sept. 12 sometime after Thursday night’s game. He said Kaepernick remains one of his two best quarterbacks. Despite that, Kelly said general manager Trent Baalke will make the final call on whether Kaepernick remains on the team’s roster after the cut to 53 players on Saturday. “It’s not up to me,” Kelly said. “Any decisions on this team are made through everybody. I do not have control of the 53-man roster. I don’t sit there and say this is the 53 we’re picking. It’s a group effort.” Kelly said he wasn’t sure how many quarterbacks the team will keep for the regular season. Rookie Jeff Driskel and Christian Ponder are the other two quarterbacks on the roster. Kelly said the swirling drama around Kaepernick’s protest hasn’t hindered the team as it prepares for the new season despite an increased media attention since Kaepernick’s stance became public on Saturday. “When you talk to our players, they’re focused on the 2016 season and how good a team the San Francisco 49ers can be,” Kelly said. “As we said all along, we recognize his right to express his feelings, but that doesn’t affect what we do from when we get here at 8:15 in the morning and leave at 8 o’clock at night.” Perhaps the bigger issue when it comes to Kaepernick’s status on the team has been his declining play. After leading the team to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season and getting back to the NFC championship game the following year, Kaepernick’s play has regressed. He ended up losing his starting job to Gabbert midway through last season and then underwent three operations in the offseason on his non-throwing shoulder, right thumb and left knee. He couldn’t participate in the offseason program and lost weight during his rehabilitation. Kaepernick then missed nearly two weeks of training camp with a tired shoulder and was ineffec- tive in his first appearance of the preseason last Friday night against Green Bay. Kaepernick’s protest has drawn reaction from around the world from athletes, politicians and others. Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, a civil rights activist during his career, told NFL Network that Kaepernick makes “all the sense in the world” and that he stands behind him “100 percent.” But Brown also said he would not choose to protest in this manner. “Now if you ask me, ‘Would I do that?’ No I won’t, because I see it a little differently,” he said. “I’m an American citizen, I pay my taxes, I want my equal rights but this is my country, and consequently I don’t want to open up for ISIS or anybody that will take away what we’ve already gained.” Hall of Fame basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, another activist from the 1960s, said it is more concerning that the country still faces many of the same issues that athletes like himself, Brown, boxer Muhammad Ali, and Olympic sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos protested nearly a halfcentury ago. “What should horrify Americans is not Kaepernick’s choice to remain seated during the national anthem, but that nearly 50 years after Ali was banned from boxing for his stance and Tommie Smith and John Carlos’s raised fists caused public ostracization and numerous death threats, we still need to call attention to the same racial inequities,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote in the Washington Post on Tuesday. “Failure to fix this problem is what’s really unAmerican here.” �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Thursday, September 1, 2016 7 Undefeated Bulldogs top Blue Devils, 6-2 By Paul Boggs place in the opening half.

So offensive lineman Billy Price was ready when asked what knowledge he would impart or already has shared with the three first-year starters on the O-line and the other 13 first-time starters OSU will have in its season opener against Bowling Green at Ohio Stadium on Saturday. The advice from Price, a starter in 28 consecutive games for the Buckeyes, started out simply. “Strap in,” he said with a laugh. “And get ready to take media questions all the time. You’re going to be under a lot of scrutiny. It’s part of being at Ohio State. “As an older guy, I’ve got to make sure these young guys stay calm,” Price said. Pat Elflein, a first-team All-Big Ten selection at guard last year, has moved over to center this season and Price will stay at guard, where he was third-team AllBig Ten. Jamarco Jones, a junior, and Isaiah Prince, a sophomore, will be the tackles. Freshman Michael Jordan will start at the other guard, according to a depth chart released Tuesday afternoon. He had been the front runner to be the starter since spring practice. “Football makes you mature very fast,” Price said. “You have to handle your business, otherwise you have meltdowns as a player and that’s not what you want to see.” Price observed a melt- down as a freshman in 2014 when Ohio State’s offensive line allowed seven sacks in a 35-21 loss to Virginia Tech. But the Buckeyes got past that night to go on to win the national championship. Elflein has been limited in preseason training camp because of surgery in May to remove a cyst that was causing weakness in his left shoulder. The cyst was pressing against a nerve, and while it didn’t cause any pain, it left him unable to lift even small amounts of weight with his left arm. “This is the best I’ve felt since my surgery,” Elflein said on Monday. “This week was full go, I went full go on Saturday in a scrimmage. Everything is in line for me to start and play and everything is feeling good.” Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner says Ohio State’s offensive line is “in a good place.” “I’m really happy with where that group of guys is,” he said. “Billy has started 28 straight games and Pat has played probably 48 to 50 games for us. Then you look at Jamarco, who was Taylor Decker’s back-up for two years, he’s ready to go. Isaiah Prince is an elite talent guy who has really taken off. And then that last piece we kept looking for, it looks like it’s going to be Mike Jordan.” Warinner said he is confident Jordan is ready for whatever comes his way in his first college game. “There’s a lot of things to worry about, but I’m not going to worry about Mike Jordan,” he said. “He’ll show up, he’ll play hard, he’ll do what we ask him to do. He may not be perfect in his first game but he has tremendous skills.” Big 12 preparing for opening games Contributed Article Kansas State’s Bill Snyder let a slight chuckle when asked if playing a season opener at No. 8 Stanford was the sign of a change in scheduling philosophy for the veteran coach. “Well, not in mine,” Snyder said Monday. “But it’s kind of the nature of the conference wanting everybody to play Power Five conference schools. So we’ve fallen in line with that.” The Wildcats are one of three Big 12 teams opening against a top-15 opponent, making the smallest of the Power Five leagues the only one with so many high-ranked nonconference openers. K-State’s opener is Friday night, with third-ranked Oklahoma against No. 15 Houston in the home stadium of the NFL’s Texans on Saturday, and Texas at home Sunday night against No. 10 Notre Dame. Plus, West Virginia is home against SEC member Missouri, a former Big 12 team. “It’s a high-profile game. There’s a lot of high-profile games here this weekend, and I think that’s where college football is headed,” Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen said during the first Big 12 coaches teleconference. “We’re going to continue to do that kind of scheduling here. And hopefully everyone else does that kind of scheduling as well.” The Big 12 late last year said its teams would be required to play at least one non-conference game each season against a team from one of the other Power Five leagues (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC) or Notre Dame, though the requirement didn’t affect existing non-conference game contracts at the time. Still, No. 23 Baylor and Kansas are the only Big 12 teams that won’t play against one of the peer conferences this season. goalkeepers for a while, replacing starter Andrew Toler with Ben Rutherford. Toler returned in net in the second half, and was credited with seven saves while Rutherford finished with three. The Blue Devils do return home, and open OVC action, tonight (Thursday, Sept. 1) against Chesapeake.

A senior from Stockdale, Ohio, Brown tallied 31 digs in the 3-0, non-conference victory over Ohio Christian Aug. 23. The win included an average of 10.3 digs per set for Brown, who was named the conference’s Libero of the Year in 2015. Rio Grande is now 2-3 on the year and travels to Point Park on Friday and Saturday for four matches at the Battle of the Boulevard. Rio pair earn Player of the Week honors FLORENCE, Ky. — Junior forward Joao Paulo Antonio and sophomore goalkeeper Benjamin Martinez were named the River States Conference Men’s Soccer Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, on Tuesday for their part in No. 1 University of Rio Grande’s 3-1 victory over No. 9 Indiana Wesleyan. Antonio, a forward from Sao Paulo, Brazil, tallied three points with one goal and one assist in the NAIA top-10 matchup with Indiana Wesleyan on Aug. 27. Martinez, a sophomore from Montpellier, France, faced 10 shots and made three saves in the win. Rio Grande improved to 3-0 with the victory to remain unbeaten. The RedStorm have the top spot in the NAIA Men’s Soccer Coaches’ Preseason Top 25 Poll. Paulo Antonio picked up his assist in the eighth minute to help the RedStorm to a 1-0 lead. With the score 2-1 at the half, he regained Rio Grande’s twogoal lead by finding the back of the net in the 61st minute. Rio Grande’s next game is Sept. 2 at SCAD Savannah (GA).
