Chamber members hear about County Fair

By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.coim

POMEROY — A glimpse of what
the 151st Meigs County Fair will
offer was given by Kenny Buckley,
Meigs County Fair board president,
to members of the Meigs County
Chamber of Commerce at its Tuesday meeting.
The Meigs County fair is slated for
Aug. 9-16.
Buckley, a longtime member of
the fair board, talked about the history of the fairgrounds, the unusual
grandstand built in the late 1800s on
the curve of the racetrack (it is listed
on the National Register of Historic
Places), the responsibility of the fair
board to maintain the 150 acres,
and the role of handling events each
year related to the week-long junior
and senior fair programs, and other

events and activities that take place
there.
Buckley noted that the Meigs
County garage is on fair board property and spoke of what county employees contribute in the way of assistance in keeping the grounds in
shape.
The emphasis of his talk was on
this year’s event featuring dozens of
displays in both the junior and senior fairs. Judging activities of 4-H
projects submitted by more than 300
children involved in the youth program along with those by adult programs in the county will begin Aug.
9 at the fairgrounds. A variety of entertainment will be going on all week
long, concluding on Saturday night.
“It’s all about the kids,” Buckley
said, in making reference to the
many youth activities including 4-H,
FFA, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts,

who play a major role with their exhibits and special activities occurring
during the week. “They work hard all
year and when it comes to exhibiting
their projects at the fair, well that’s
the highlight of everything.”
Buckley noted that a portion of
land located near the log cabin has
been designated for use by the Meigs
County Historical Society. The plan
of the historical society is to build a
large structure to accommodate an
antique farm and other equipment
display that can be opened for public
viewing.
In questions about protection of
the public attending the fair, the
speaker explained that “everything is
inspected.” He said a rides inspector
will be in to check out the carnival

Two plead no contest in Gallia County dog deaths
Receive $25 fine, plus court costs,
and 16-hour class requirement
By Michael Johnson
michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — The county’s
former dog warden and a successor
have each pleaded no contest to a
misdemeanor animal cruelty charge.

Paul L. Simmers, who is listed
on Gallia County’s website as
dog warden, and Jean Daniels
each entered no contest pleas,
according to Gallipolis Municipal Court documents obtained
by the Gallipolis Daily Tribune.

During court proceedings late
last month, they each received
a $25 fine and were ordered to
pay court costs, and have agreed
to each take a state-approved 16hour course with the American
Humane Association.
While a no contest plea is not
an admission of guilt, the defendant admits to the truth of the
facts alleged in an indictment,
information or complaint, and
to the subsequent legal consequences of those facts.

Simmers originally faced 32
counts of second-degree misdemeanor animal cruelty, while
Daniels faced 13 counts of the
same charge in connection with
the Feb. 14 deaths of several
dogs at the Gallia County Animal Shelter. According to court
records, the other 31 counts
against Simmers and 12 against
Daniels were dismissed.
According to state statutes,
Simmers faced a maximum
eight years in jail and $24,000

in fines for all 32 counts against
him, while Daniels could have
received a maximum of a little
more than three years in jail and
nearly $10,000 in fines for all 13
counts she faced.
A third person in the case, former assistant dog warden Jason
Harris, still faces 12 counts of
second-degree misdemeanor animal cruelty. He is charged with
negligently causing unnecessary

Cleveland camera case
put on hold in Ohio
CINCINNATI (AP) —
The state’s highest court
put a Cleveland traffic cameras case on hold Wednesday while the justices decide on their ruling in a
motorist’s challenge to Toledo’s camera system.
In the Cleveland case, the
state’s 8th appellate district
found that the city’s automated enforcement system
unconstitutionally bypassed
the judiciary but that the
motorist lacked legal standing to recover his speeding
fine. Both sides appealed.
The Supreme Court last
month listened to arguments in Columbus on an
appeal by Toledo and its
camera vendor of another
appellate court’s ruling for a
driver who sued over a 2009
camera-generated ticket.
The motorist’s attorneys
said the camera system
usurps judicial authority
and violates the driver’s
due process rights. Toledo
contended that camera systems are allowed under local self-governing powers,
or home rule, provided by

the Ohio Constitution, and
that motorists still have the
ability to take their cases to
the courts.
The justices didn’t set a
date for their decision in
the Toledo case.
In initial filings before
the high court, the city
of Cleveland cited a 2008
Ohio Supreme Court ruling that the city of Akron
didn’t overstep home rule
authority with its camera
system. It also said the
Cleveland motorist, Sam
Jodka, “knowingly admitted liability for the civil
traffic violation” by paying
his fine in 2007.
Jodka’s attorneys countered in a filing that the
8th district “split decision”
ruling allowed Cleveland to
keep the motorist’s money
even though it was collected through an unconstitutional system.
“It makes as much sense
as telling a pickpocket that
he shouldn’t steal, but can
keep whatever he pilfers
even if caught red-handed,”
the filing stated.

Visitors wait five hours for Harry Potter ride
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)
— You might need a magic
wand to get on the new
Harry Potter ride at Universal Orlando Resort.
For a second day in a
row, visitors waited up to
five hours to get on the
ride, Harry Potter and the
Escape from Gringotts, located in the new Diagon
Alley section of Universal
Studios. A day earlier, on
the first day Diagon Alley
was open to the public,
visitors waited for as long
as seven hours.
A sign at the entrance
to the 3-D ride at midday
Wednesday said the wait
would be 300 minutes.
“We’re not going to
wait,” said Eric Poudrier
after snapping a photo of
the wait time. He was visiting with his girlfriend and
2-year-old daughter from
Montreal.
Tammy Clark and her
11-year-old son, Ethan,
also decided to skip the
ride after seeing the line.
“It’s a five-hour wait,”
said Clark, of Bridgeport,
W.Va. “You won’t be able to
see anything else.”
Juan Sigler, his wife Susy
and their two children,
Samantha and Steven, arrived at the park after 7
a.m., got in line and didn’t
exit the ride until well after noon. But they said it

was worth a five-hour wait
since they felt immersed in
Harry Potter’s world.
“It has great special effects and you see the central characters,” said Susy
Sigler, of Pembroke Pines,
Fla.
The ride is the centerpiece of the new Harry
Potter section. It combines
a roller coaster ride with
3-D projections featuring
characters from the Harry
Potter books and movies. The rest of Diagon
Alley consists of seven
detail-heavy shops selling
merchandise such as wizard robes and interactive
wands that allow visitors
to perform wizard tricks
throughout the section.
Honeymooners David
and Jennifer O’Neill spent
their second day in Diagon
Alley but skipped the ride
since Jennifer isn’t a fan
of roller coasters. Dressed
in wizard robes, they wandered through the shops of
Diagon Alley purchasing
wizard wands and other
merchandise.
“It’s fantastic! It’s like being in Diagon Alley,” said
Jennifer O’Neill, of Dallas.
“We walked in and it was
so surreal.”
Universal
spokesman
Tom Schroder said the
park doesn’t disclose attendance figures but “we

Confederate battle
flags on Virginia
campus to be moved
LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) — Washington and Lee University is drawing praise from some and complaints from
others after announcing that it will remove Confederate
battle flags from a chapel on the Virginia campus where
Robert E. Lee is buried.
The Virginia school where the top Confederate general had served as president after the Civil War disclosed
plans Tuesday to move the flags. It also said it would continue to study the university’s historical involvement with
slavery.
About a dozen black law school students wrote to the
university trustees in April demanding that the flags be
banished. Those student reached Wednesday said they
welcomed the move. But critics said those flags had a
rightful place in history and some said they were withdrawing plans to donate Civil War books and Lee memorabilia to the university.
The students had said in their letter that they felt “alienation and discomfort” with what they saw as the trappings
of the Confederacy. The Washington and Lee complaints
are familiar ones in the South, where former Confederate
states have struggled with symbols of the past that some
find racist.
One of the law students, 24-year-old student Brandon
Hicks, said Wednesday he’s “very excited about the direction that the university is moving in.” The group had
vowed civil disobedience if the demands were not met.
“There’s still work to be done but it’s very encouraging
that action was taken so swiftly,” added Hicks,
In their April letter, the students also had demanded
that the school repudiate Lee. And they had called on the
private liberal arts college to end the practice of allowing
“neo-Confederates” to march on campus with battle flags
during Lee-Jackson Day, a Virginia state holiday that falls
on the Friday before Martin Luther King Day.
While it didn’t repudiate Lee, Ruscio said, the school
of about 2,200 students acknowledges that slavery was a
“regrettable chapter of our history, and we must confront
and try to understand this chapter.”
“These are legitimately complicated matters, and they
are often uncomfortable, too,” university president Kenneth Rusio wrote in an email to faculty and students. “I
cannot imagine another institution more challenged by
the complexity of history while at the same time more
capable of illuminating not just our own history but the
wider scope of our nation’s.”
Ultimately the school said it would remove the array of
eight Confederate battle flags in Lee Chapel, where the
Lee family is buried and display original flags from a Civil
War museum on a rotating basis.
According to the university’s website, the original battle
flags from different Confederate regiments were put on
display in Lee Chapel starting in 1930. Experts note there
were several styles of Confederate battle flags in addition
to a series of Confederate national flag patterns in wartime.
The university also said Tuesday it will continue to allow
groups to use the chapel for lectures but won’t let them to
“march” on campus or use it to espouse their statements.
Ruscio also urged the undergraduate faculty to decide this
fall whether to cancel classes on the King holiday.
Student Anjelica Hendricks, 23, said she hopes the
move would foster more dialogue on campus and make it
a more inclusive place.
“Discussions of race and oppression are uncomfortable
topics to be had (but) we risk greater consequences by
electing not to have them,” Hendricks added.
But defenders of the Confederacy likened the school’s
actions to taking the American flag from Ulysses S.
Grant’s tomb. Others are withdrawing plans to donate
Civil War books and Lee memorabilia to the school.
“The university has lost its credibility and honor and
desecrated the grave of an American icon,” said Brandon
Dorsey, a commander with the Lexington brigade of the
Sons of Confederate Veterans. “If (the students) didn’t
want to be offended by Lee’s legacy, they could’ve chosen
some place that wasn’t so obviously associated with him.”
Washington and Lee, in the Shenandoah Valley west of
Richmond, was founded in 1749 as Augusta Academy and
adopted George Washington’s name in 1796. Lee led Confederate forces before surrendering at Appomattox in 1865.
He served as the university’s president after the war and
Lee became part of the university’s name after his death.

Wayne heirs sue university over name
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — John
Wayne’s heirs are taking Duke
University to court to assert the
family’s right to market bottles
of bourbon branded with the late
movie star’s nickname, Duke.
A federal lawsuit filed last week
is the latest salvo in a long-running legal duel between the North
Carolina university and California-based John Wayne Enterprises over commercial products
featuring the name. The late actor
used the moniker since childhood,
when he adopted the name of the
family dog.
Lawyers for the university say
allowing the Wayne estate to use
the name could cause confusion
and “diminish, dilute and tarnish”
the value of the name, for which
both parties hold trademarks.
Messages seeking comment
Wednesday from John Wayne Enterprises were not returned.
The bourbon is labeled with an
image of Wayne holding a rifle
with “Duke” emblazoned over
it in bold letters. The phrase “A
man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta
do” is included on the back side of
the bottle.

“Duke University does not own
the word ‘Duke’ in all contests and
purposes,” the family’s lawyers
said in the lawsuit. “Duke is a common word that has been used for
centuries in a wide array of commercial and other applications
wholly independent of Duke University. Yet by the actions alleged
herein, Duke University seems to
think it owns the word ‘Duke’ for
all purposes and applications.”
Duke University is named for
a wealthy family of Durham tobacco barons who in the early
1900s endowed what had been a
small rural college affiliated with
the Methodist church. It made the
first legal move against the Wayne
heirs when it opposed their 2005
trademark application to use the
name Duke for a restaurant. When
the actor’s family filed last year to
use the name to market alcoholic
beverages, the university objected
once again.
The private university declined
to disclose how much it brings in
each year through licensing merchandise featuring the Duke name
and its Blue Devils mascot.
“While we admire and re-

spect John Wayne’s contributions to American culture, we
are also committed to protecting
the integrity of Duke University’s trademarks,” said Michael
Schoenfeld, a spokesman for the
university. “As Mr. Wayne himself
said, ‘Words are what men live by
. words they say and mean.’”
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office lists more than
250 active trademarks that include the word “Duke,” including
jazz legend Duke Ellington and a
brand of mayonnaise.
Originally named Marion Michael Morrison, Wayne died in
1979 and remains one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars,
with an official Facebook page
that has 2 million likes. He appeared in more than 175 films
over a 50-year career, including iconic roles in such Western
classics as “Stagecoach,” ”The
Searchers” and “True Grit.”
The Duke also enjoyed a stiff
belt of whiskey.
“I never trust a man who
doesn’t drink,” Wayne is quoted
as saying, according to his official
website.

Black bear makes another appearance in SW Ohio
CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) — A young black bear was
spotted — again — in the eastern suburbs of Cincinnati,
looking for a mate or perhaps just a way back home.
Wildlife officials believe the bear swam across the Ohio
River from Kentucky. They say it’s probably 2 years old,
and weighs 80 to 85 pounds. It’s been spotted in half a
dozen neighborhoods east of the city since June 22.
There hadn’t been any sightings for several days, until
Tuesday, when it showed up in the Eastgate area of Clermont County. Authorities temporarily shut down Clepper Park because a crowd of people had gathered trying
to get a look at the bear.

“We were walking in the woods, and we saw the bear
sitting on the edge in the bushes, just watching the cars
go by,” local resident Richard Beller said. “Then he
jumped out and took off running.”
The bear has gone across front yards, climbed back
fences, and was seen outside a church one Sunday. People have captured its movements around the region on
cellphone photos and videos.
Wildlife officials say the bear shouldn’t pose any threat
as long as people leave it alone. They say it will eventually go back home to somewhere in Kentucky.

Deaths
From Page 1
pain and suffering to dogs
being euthanized at the
animal shelter located on
Shawnee Lane. It is alleged that Harris, along
with Simmers and Daniels, didn’t follow the correct procedure during the
euthanasia process, which
caused the animals to suffer unnecessary pain.
The alleged crimes occurred between March
2012 and February 2014.
Harris is scheduled for
a pre-trial appearance at
10:30 a.m. July 28 in Gal-

lipolis Municipal Court.
The case gained a full
head of steam shortly after Feb. 14, when the Ohio
Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty of Animals said
it planned to “fully investigate” the deaths of 11
dogs at the Gallia County
Animal Shelter. The Ohio
SPCA cited the concerns of
the Friends of Gallia County’s Animals, a local rescue
group whose members had
said all of the dogs killed
were vaccinated and in the
process of being adopted.
The dog deaths eventually led the Gallia County

Board of Commissioners
to create the Gallia County
Canine Management Committee, a group made up of
community members and

county staff that provides
recommendations
and
guidance about all things
concerning the Gallia
County Animal Shelter.

No good options for
Snowden plea deal
Eclipsed by news in Iraq, the most important story in
national security news is quietly, slowly unfolding right
here at home.
The federal government is talking to Edward Snowden
about a possible plea deal.
Negotiations are difficult, but proponents of a deal say
we’re better off with Mr. Snowden than without him. For
some, a plea bargain is the only way to bring him to justice. For others, it’s the best available means to protect
him from life as a fugitive.
James Clapper, director of national intelligence, says
that estimate has been revised slightly downward. It also
appears that federal officials have become somewhat less
concerned about the security risk posed by those documents.
That’s raised rumors that Washington is willing to
strike a real bargain with Snowden — if he accepts criminal liability for his actions.
Both the pro- and anti-Snowden case for a deal have
their particular merits. Unfortunately for the American
people, however, there are serious drawbacks to proceeding with either approach.
Letting Snowden go means letting go about 1.5 million
documents — a trove for anyone who decides to capture
or otherwise obtain Snowden’s cache. Even worse, leaving Snowden a fugitive will leave him in Russia, one of the
places we’d least like him to be.
President Obama, however, just isn’t willing to pardon
Snowden. Aside from questions of political principle, it
would raise the ire of plenty of Obama’s critics, and some
of his supporters.
A pardon would theoretically free up Snowden to exile
himself somewhere less damaging to America’s interests.
But officials believe that place to be the U.S. itself, not
some quiet tropical island. The federal government has a
powerful interest in taking custody of Snowden — not as
a criminal, but as an asset.
That’s where things get problematic for the prospect of
a plea deal. Washington loves hiring hackers. It’s been happening for years. There’s nothing a security state wants
more than to monopolize the ability to steal information.
One of the greatest benefits of recovering Snowden would
be co-opting him once again in the infowars being conducted against America’s enemies and adversaries (and,
some would add, allies).
Re-enlisting Snowden in America’s surveillance effort might appeal to the federal government. But for any
American troubled by the size and scope of that effort to
begin with, there’s something deeply wrong about any
deal that uses Snowden to further the invasive practices
he revealed to us.
Perversely, that kind of deal would not only embolden
hackers, but draw more hackers into the corridors of
government power. In that respect, it’s the worst of both
worlds.
It’s hard to accept the idea that the status quo is the best
option regarding Edward Snowden. But it’s easy to see
how dissatisfying the alternatives can be.

Let’s listen for voices we all can understand
By Winslow Myers
Nothing more clearly illustrates
the absurdity of murder for political
ends than this moment of chaos in
Iraq and Syria.
Imagine spaceships of an advanced
alien civilization hovering over that
vast desert area and assessing the
state of our human endeavors on the
basis of the welter of alliances and rivalries to-ing and fro-ing below, leaving trails of blood and traumatized
children. As borders arbitrarily set
by colonial powers a century ago dissolve, the strategic hopes of strong
nations are undercut by vicious tribal
rivalries going back almost 1,000
years.
The so-called superpowers are paralyzed, helpless giants armed with
useless nuclear weapons. Moral pygmies who initiated unnecessary wars
based on shameless lies have the unmitigated gall to blame those in office for events the liars themselves
set in motion.
Time magazine lays it out as clearly as possible in its June 30 issue; it
boggles the mind: the U.S. and Iran
support Iraq. Iran, Iraq and Shia militias support Assad. The U.S. and
the Gulf States want to contain Iran
and prevent it from going nuclear.
The Gulf States, the U.S. and Sunni
militants want to defeat Assad, but
the U.S. and the Gulf States have also
sent money and arms to extreme
Sunni groups in Syria that intend
future harm to the U.S. The Kurds,
Iran, the U.S. and Iraq want to defeat
ISIS, even as the Kurds have benefited from the chaos created by ISIS.
Millions of innocent citizens across
the region have been displaced, their
children hurt in every way, terrorized
and starved, with doctors and teachers and business leaders unable to
exercise skills essential to the web of
civil society.
All of this bloodletting, confusion
and waste has the potential to get
much worse because it is unfolding
in the context of a planetary moment

when our common future is at stake
unless we humans can cooperate on
a whole new level to find sustainable
forms of food and energy.
Yet from the perspective of the
spaceship, the trackless desert could
also be seen as a resource of staggering possibilities. Solar arrays could
transform the harshly abundant rays
of the sun into power for desalinization plants, preventing future water
conflicts. The same solar energy
could manufacture hydrogen to power a vibrant economy — a Muslim
renaissance. Imagine if the trillions
America spent on its Iraq misadventure had gone instead into building
such a system. Halliburton, which
took a reported $39.5 billion in war
profits from that conflict, could have
still made billions and actually have
done something positive in that part
of the world.
When it becomes this difficult to
discern who are the good guys and
who are the bad, the whole “us and
them” paradigm blurs and fades into
smoke. The common interest becomes, fundamentally, what’s good
for children: Syrian, Iraqi, Kurdish,
Iranian, Israeli, American. Brought
up short by the helplessness of being unable to distinguish between
alliances and enemies, is this not the
moment for us to say enough — how
much greater proof do we need that
war and murder never work?
Instead, there is an all-too-pervasive climate of opinion in the American
government-industrial-media
complex that more war and murder
are the only answer to war and murder.
How to respond to evil and chaos
with something other than more evil
and chaos is one of the great historical conundrums. But one part of the
answer is the nature of this moment,
in the largest perspective of the unfolding of geological time. More and
more of us are defining our primary
identity not in terms of nation or
tribe or religion, but instead in terms
of the whole delicate, gorgeous,

threatened planet now seen as the
outcome of billions of years of evolutionary development. This is new —
an encompassing story that has enormous potential to unite the diversity
of humans into a larger community.
Meanwhile, a hierarchy of needs
still operates, and the primary need
of the torn-apart Middle East is security, in the bare-bones form of simple
cessation of slaughter. It would make
zero sense to approach a young, fiery
Kalashnikov-wielding adherent of
ISIS and plead that he look up at the
stars: “Look at who you really are, a
descendent of these trillions of galaxies. It is out of this one unfolding universe that our sacred texts of Islam
and Christianity and Judaism arose.
We are one species. Shia and Sunnis
may have a long history of enmity,
but go back far enough and they are
one, polarized by abstract illusions
of difference that are meaningless in
terms of this astronomical creativity
out of which you came.”
This felt sense of oneness is the
great message that bears in upon us
from both our biggest challenges and
our biggest opportunities — challenges like ocean acidification, rain
forest destruction or nuclear proliferation, opportunities for vast networks of communication and understanding represented by the Internet.
Global climate chaos encompasses
not just physical weather but spiritual weather as well. Though the
horrors of Iraq and Syria represent
a sickening step backward from the
possibility of reconciliation among
the tribes and religions of the world,
the context of reconciliation surrounds us and points the way ahead,
supporting and guiding our creativity toward a world that works for everyone.
Great possibilities are known, but
the wrong voices are loudest. Let us
listen for the smarter, smaller, softer,
kinder ones.
Winslow Myers writes on global issues for PeaceVoice and serves on the advisory board of the
War Prevention Initiative.

Today is Thursday, July 10, the 191st day of 2014.
There are 174 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:

in Pasadena, California.
On this date:
In 1890, Wyoming became the 44th state.
In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson personally delivered the Treaty of Versailles to the Senate and urged its
ratification. (However, the Senate rejected it.)
In 1929, American paper currency was reduced in size
as the government began issuing bills that were approximately 25 percent smaller.
In 1940, during World War II, the Battle of Britain began as Nazi forces began attacking southern England by

In 1973, the Bahamas became fully independent after
three centuries of British colonial rule. John Paul Getty
III, the teenage grandson of the oil tycoon, was abducted
in Rome by kidnappers who cut off his ear when his family was slow to meet their ranson demands; young Getty
was released in December 1973 for nearly $3 million.
In 1985, the Greenpeace protest ship Rainbow Warrior
was sunk with explosives in Auckland, New Zealand, by
French intelligence agents; one activist was killed. Bowing to pressure from irate customers, the Coca-Cola Co.
said it would resume selling old-formula Coke, while continuing to sell New Coke.
In 1989, Mel Blanc, the “man of a thousand voices,”
including such cartoon characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy
Duck and Porky Pig, died in Los Angeles at age 81.
In 1991, Boris N. Yeltsin took the oath of office as the
first elected president of the Russian republic. President
George H.W. Bush lifted economic sanctions against
South Africa.
In 1994, in the first meeting of its kind, Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin joined leaders of the Group of Seven

nations for political talks following their annual economic
summit in Naples, Italy.
Ten years ago: President George W. Bush said in his
weekly radio address that legalizing gay marriage would
redefine the most fundamental institution of civilization,
and that a constitutional amendment was needed to protect traditional marriage.
Five years ago: General Motors completed an unusually quick exit from bankruptcy protection with promises of
making money and building cars people would be eager to
buy. Pope Benedict XVI stressed the Catholic church’s opposition to abortion and embryonic stem-cell research in his
first meeting with President Barack Obama at the Vatican.
Embattled Illinois Sen. Roland Burris announced he would
not run for a full term in 2010. Jonathan Sanchez pitched
the majors’ first no-hitter of the season in San Francisco’s

Obituary

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel stepped up its offensive on
the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on
Wednesday, pummeling scores of
targets and killing at least 22 people as Israeli leaders signaled a
weeks-long ground invasion could
be quickly approaching.
The military said it struck
about 200 Hamas targets on the
second day of its offensive, which
it says is needed to end incessant
rocket attacks out of Gaza. Militants, however, continued to fire
rocket salvos deep into Israeli territory, and Israel mobilized thousands of forces along the Gaza
border ahead of a possible ground
operation.
“The army is ready for all possibilities,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after holding
a meeting of his Security Cabinet.
“Hamas will pay a heavy price
for firing toward Israeli citizens.
The security of Israel’s citizens
comes first. The operation will
expand and continue until the fire
toward our towns stops and quiet
returns.”
The fighting stepped up as
Egypt, which often serves as a
mediator between Israel and the
Palestinians, said it was in contact with both sides to end the violence. It was the first indication
since the offensive was launched
on Tuesday that cease-fire efforts
might be under way.
The offensive has set off the
heaviest fighting between Israel
and the Islamic militant group
Hamas since an eight-day battle
in November 2012. As the death
toll continued to rise, Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of committing “genocide.”
Israeli leaders warned a ground
invasion could be imminent.

will have to take over Gaza temporarily, for a few weeks, to cut
off the strengthening of this terror army,” Yuval Steinitz, Israel’s
intelligence minister, told Israel
Radio. “If you ask my humble
opinion, a significant operation
like this is approaching.”
The government has authorized
the army to activate up to 40,000
reservists for a ground operation.
An Israeli government official,
speaking on condition of anonymity because he was discussing Israeli tactical strategy, said the reservists would be sent to the West
Bank to allow active duty troops
to amass near the Gaza border.
Despite the tough threats, Israeli security officials are still
hesitant about ordering a ground
invasion due to the many risks.
Entering Gaza could lead to heavy
civilian casualties on the Palestinian side while putting Israeli
ground forces in danger.
It remains unclear whether the
international community would
support such an operation, or
how Israel would end it. Officials
have little desire to retake control
of Gaza, a densely populated territory of 1.8 million people from
which Israel withdrew in 2005.
Since the offensive began Tuesday, Israel has attacked at least
560 sites in Gaza, the military
said. Militants have fired more
than 160 rockets at Israel, reaching further north than ever before.
Palestinian medics say a total
of 49 people have been killed in
Gaza, including 22 on Wednesday.
Of the total dead, medical officials
have confirmed at least 15 are civilians and 10 militants, with the
remainder uncertain. The rocket
fire from Gaza has not caused any
serious Israeli casualties.
The Israeli onslaught has caused
panic in Gaza. A number of airstrikes aimed at wanted militants

have also killed family members
and bystanders. Many residents
have huddled indoors or moved
from hard-hit areas to relatives in
areas that are believed to be safer.
Gaza health official Ashraf alQidra said that an 80-year-old
woman was among those killed
Wednesday.
Hamas official Musheer al-Masri said Israel had “crossed all the
red lines” and warned that Hamas
would strike back fiercely. “What
the resistance showed today is
only part of what it is capable of,”
he said.
The increasing range of the
rockets from Gaza has disrupted
life across a wide swath of southern and central Israel, where
people have been forced to remain
close to home and kindergartens
and summer camps have been
forced to close.
Besides firing toward Israel’s
two largest population centers in
Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Hamas
also fired one rocket that reached
the northern Israeli city of Hadera
for the first time, effectively putting the entire country under
rocket range from the north and
south. The city is more than 100
kilometers (60 miles) from Gaza
and was struck in 2006 by missiles from Hezbollah guerrillas in
Lebanon.
“We got it from both directions,” said Maayan From, a
25-year-old Hadera resident. “Our
enemies have developed and it is
getting scary. We have to put an
end to this.”
On Wednesday, Hamas rockets
reached even further north than
Hadera.
“It’s still hard to digest that we
are within their range. It changed
the way you think,” said Ina Marchovsky, 43. “We are full of hope
that was the first and last rocket
we will see. But I don’t know.”

Germans probe second spy case reportedly involving US
BERLIN (AP) — German authorities are investigating a second spy case
reportedly involving the
United States, a week after
the arrest of a German intelligence employee cast a
new shadow over relations
between the two countries.
Federal
prosecutors
said Wednesday that police raided properties in
the Berlin area on “initial
suspicion of activity for an
intelligence agency.” They
did not elaborate or specify
what intelligence agency
was involved, but said they
had not made an arrest.
“We have investigations
in two cases of suspected
espionage, a very serious
suspicion,”
government
spokesman Steffen Seibert
later told reporters in Berlin. He declined to provide
further details, citing the
ongoing investigations.
The daily Sueddeutsche
Zeitung reported, without
naming sources, that the
man being investigated
worked at Germany’s Defense Ministry and is suspected of spying for the
U.S., news website Spiegel
Online reported, also without naming sources. It said
the man worked in a department dealing with international security policy
and had aroused the suspi-

cion of Germany’s military
counter-intelligence agency because of his close contacts to alleged U.S. spies.
Defense
Ministry
spokesman Lt. Col. Uwe
Roth declined to confirm
the reports, but said the
case fell “into the ministry’s area of responsibility”
and that Defense Minister
Ursula von der Leyen had
been informed.
State Department officials traveling with U.S.
Secretary of State John
Kerry in Beijing had no immediate comment.
Last week, a 31-year-old
German intelligence employee was arrested on suspicion of spying for foreign
powers since 2012. German media have reported
that he spied for the United States and came to authorities’ attention when
he recently offered his services to Russian officials in
Germany by email.
The case has frayed relations between Berlin and
Washington, which were
already strained by reports
last year that the National
Security Agency had targeted Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s cellphone and
conducted mass surveillance of Internet traffic in
Germany. Those allegations have resulted in a

criminal investigation and
the creation of a parliamentary panel tasked with
probing the NSA’s activities in Germany.
The U.S. ambassador to
Berlin was summoned to
the Foreign Ministry on
Friday after news of the
first case broke.
Ambassador John B.
Emerson was at the ministry again Wednesday for
a meeting with a senior
official, Foreign Ministry

has played a key role reaching out to Russia while
also rallying European

OSU chief: Athletics one of many successes
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— Ohio State hasn’t always
gotten enough credit for the
“98 percent” of what it does
outside of athletics, the university’s new president said
Wednesday as he pledged to
raise all the features of the
school’s profile.
Michael Drake, the former University of California-Irvine chancellor, said
he would use Ohio State’s
success in sports as a way
to draw attention to what
the university does well in
other areas — from cancer
research to the performing
arts.
“We haven’t gotten as
much credit or as much focus on some of the myriad
other things we do, the
other 98 percent of our enterprise,” Drake said in an

Jarrett Jack (1) of the Cleveland Cavaliers drives to the basket in his campus office, its

his arrival last week.
Drake, whose father
played college football in the
1930s, said he isn’t talking
about diminishing what the
university does athletically.
“I plan on doing everything we can to do even
better on the athletics side,
but to make sure that people
have a chance to pay attention to the other things that
we’re doing as well, and
to continue to strengthen
those,” he said.
Drake, 63, an ophthalmologist, was chosen as Ohio
State’s 15th president and
first black leader in January, ending a seven-month
search. He replaces Gordon
Gee, who retired last year
after remarks he made jabbing Roman Catholics and
Southeastern Conference
schools became public.
Gee is now president at
West Virginia University, a

post he held more than 30
years earlier.
Drake will make about $1
million annually, or about
half Gee’s compensation.
Drake promised to do everything he can to make the
university the best possible
value for students, including
affordability, availability of
classes and minimizing student debt.
On other subjects, Drake
made these pronouncements:
—Downplayed support
for a movement to unionize college athletes: The
collegiate model of athletics
“brings great value to the
educational experience of
those who are able to participate in it and then to the
culture and the connectedness and the sense of family
that we have as a university.”
—Argued that the university’s historic mission as

a land-grant institution is
compatible with boosting
its stature outside of Ohio:
“In competing for being the
best that we can be, the natural outcome of that would be
to produce things that have
international impact, which
I think is directly connected
to the local impact that we
do here. I find it all tied together, and seamless.”
—Said he hopes to teach
at Ohio State as he has done
elsewhere throughout his
career: “I’ve always found
that the ability to be involved in students kept me
relevant and kept me young,
and it was something that
was a great joy.”
—Embraced
fundraising as an investment in the
future: “Our job at the university is to show why this
is the place where your support will make the most difference to the most people.”

CLEVELAND (AP) —
The Cavaliers made moves
to clear a path for LeBron
James to return.
The team created salarycap space on Thursday with
a three-way trade, ensuring
they have enough to offer the
superstar free agent a maximum contract.
A person familiar with
the deals says the Cavs have
agreed to trade guard Jarrett
Jack, swingman Sergey Karasev and center Tyler Zeller
in a three-team deal. The
moves are designed to open
room under the salary cap
so they can land James, the
four-time league MVP and
most sought after player on
the market.
The Cavs have agreements
with Brooklyn and Boston,
the person told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The
person spoke on condition
of anonymity because teams
are not permitted to discuss
trades until the league’s moratorium ends Thursday.
The person said Cleveland
will receive guard Marcus
Thornton from the Nets and
send him, Zeller and a future
first-round pick to the Celtics. Also, the Cavs are trading
Jack and Karasev to the Nets.
Jack, who signed with
Cleveland as a free agent last
season, was scheduled to
make $6.3 million, Zeller will
make $1.6 million and Karasev $1.4 million
In trading those salaries,
the Cavs have enough to give
James a maximum, $20.7
million contract — if he decides to sign with Cleveland.
James, who played his first
seven seasons with Cleveland before leaving as a free
agent in 2010, is expected to
meet with Miami President
Pat Riley in Las Vegas before

Column: Now
sober, De La Hoya
still keeps fighting
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The day after winning the only gold
medal for the U.S. boxing team in the 1992 Olympics, Oscar
De La Hoya was pulled out of bed to sit next to swimmer Janet Evans and talk about the success of American athletes in
Barcelona.
Little did U.S. Olympic officials know that the 19-year-old
had gotten so drunk the night before while celebrating his win
that his family had to carry him back to his room. Now he sat
wearing dark sunglasses in front of a room full of journalists, so
hung over that he couldn’t stay awake long enough to answer
the simplest of questions.
“I’m sitting at this little table and Janet Evans is next to me
with I don’t know how many golds,” De La Hoya said, “And I
just fall asleep. They’re asking me questions and I don’t know
what was happening. I just kept hearing ‘Oscar, Oscar.’”
The drinking didn’t stop even as he became the Golden Boy
and embarked on a spectacular pro career where he pocketed,
by his own estimates, $300 million. When it finally ended in
December 2008 with a beating at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, De La Hoya’s toughest opponent hadn’t changed.
The bottle remained unbeaten.
“When I fought Pacquiao, two weeks before the fight I was
plastered out of my mind,” De La Hoya said.
Boxing history is littered with similar tales of fighters and
addiction problems. Most don’t end well, though Sugar Ray
Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez overcame the odds to tell their
tales of alcohol abuse and drug problems.
De La Hoya wants to tell his story, too. At 41, he finally
seems comfortable with himself following a three-month stint
in a Malibu rehabilitation center where he wasn’t even allowed
to see his wife and six children.
He says he’s finally overcome his demons. It feels good to
talk about them because he believes they’re gone for good.
He’s back fighting, this time in the board room instead of the
ring. At stake in the battle with his former CEO Richard Schaefer is control of his boxing company, Golden Boy Promotions,
and De La Hoya makes it clear that he’s in this fight to win.
More importantly, though, he says he’s taken control of his
life after being lost for years.
“I finally feel free. I finally feel at peace for the very first time
in my life,” he said during an hour-long interview with The Associated Press at the MGM Grand Hotel. De La Hoya is here
to promote rising Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez against
Erislandy Lara in what he calls “maybe the biggest weekend of
my life” because this promotion is his alone.
Before his latest rehab, De La Hoya said, he was content to
let Schaefer and others run the company while he tried to enjoy
himself.
“I didn’t want the responsibility,” he said. “I’m the Golden
Boy. I was supposed to have everything.”
That it’s taken two rehabs to get to where he is now isn’t lost
on De La Hoya, who in addition to his own career takes credit
for launching the careers of some of his opponents — most notably Floyd Mayweather Jr. — into big pay-per-view successes.
De La Hoya for years was the biggest draw in boxing of anyone
not named Mike Tyson, and he says his fights grossed $700
million on pay-per-view sales alone.
He’s still got the money because he was smart about that.
Took some advice given to him as boy when his dad took him
to a gym in East Los Angeles to get some tutoring from former
lightweight champion Ike Williams.
“My dad thought he was going to teach me how to throw a
left hook or something,” De La Hoya said. “But he said ‘The
only advice I’m going to give you his to keep your money.’ That
always stuck with me.”
While De La Hoya has stashed some of his money safely
away, he’s also invested well. He owns a high-rise in LA, has a
piece of the Houston Dynamo soccer club and is the majority
shareholder in Golden Boy Promotions, which he called “the
best investment of any of them.”
And when he drives in downtown Los Angeles he can always
go check out his statue in front of Staples Center. The kid from
East LA grew up to win titles in six weight classes and was
inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame last month.
“This is my passion. This is what keeps me alive,” he said.
“Boxing literally gave me a life as a kid, promoting gave me
another life.”
He credits his wife, singer Millie Corretjer, for sticking with
him through drunken and sometimes embarrassing times.
“I was there being the Golden Boy but I was emotionally disconnected,” he said. “I’ve been disconnected emotionally ever
since I was a teenager.”
Now he is back in spotlight. De La Hoya says thinks Alvarez
has a chance to become the richest fighter ever if he keeps improving. The red-haired Mexican — whose only loss was last
year to Mayweather — is just 23 and is headlining his second
pay-per-view show.
De La Hoya’s falling out with Schaefer — who left the company last month — remains to be settled, but De La Hoya says
he’s moving forward. He’s reconciled with former promoter
Bob Arum and is eager to make big fights with his rival company.
Not that it will be easy. There are plenty of enemies out there
in boxing, even if you are the Golden Boy.
“There are people who don’t like it and I understand why,”
De La Hoya said. “But the sleeping giant has woken up.”

De La Hoya reflects on his career
LAS VEGAS (AP) — He was
the Golden Boy, a fighter who
brought in fans for decades after
winning a gold medal at the 1992
Olympics. Oscar De La Hoya
fought 45 times in 16 years as a
pro, winning 39 of them along
his way to titles in six different
weight classes.
He made millions, and his huge
fan base made other fighters who
beat him stars in their own right.
But success came at a price, including two stints in rehab for
alcohol abuse, which De La Hoya
says plagued him since his youth
in East Los Angeles.
Some details about De La Hoya:
DRINKING: De La Hoya says
he was drinking throughout much
of his career, including at the
Olympics and in the weeks before
his final fight, a loss to Manny
Pacquiao in December 2008.
RETIREMENT IS TOUGH: De
La Hoya fought past his prime.
Most boxers do fight too long, he
said, mostly because they miss
the attention. “I would always
ask, ‘Now what?’” De La Hoya
said. “What’s going to fill the void
of the adrenaline, the excitement,
and the cheers in the ring? It
shows you can get lost when you
stop doing something you love.
You’re not prepared to handle it
and you can make some wrong
choices.” At least he kept and invested much of the $300 million
he earned. De La Hoya says that
was a lesson he learned from retired boxers.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE
BAD STUFF: De La Hoya has
some advice for any athlete, not
just fighters. Take a look at the
bad things that happen, learn
from them, and try to avoid the
mistakes others have made. “Take
a look at my career and look at all
the negatives and just don’t do
what I did,” he said. “It’s easier
said than done but it’s true. Don’t
look at the good things we did because that’s too easy. Take the bad
and what happens in our lives and
learn from it.”
MAYWEATHER ISN’T UNBEATABLE: De La Hoya might
have won his 2007 fight against

Krt Photo by Lionel Hahn | Abaca Press

Oscar de la Hoya celebrates his victory over Fernando Vargas Saturday, September 14, 2002, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. if he would
have kept using his jab late in the
fight. Age and a bad rotator cuff
prevented that, but De La Hoya
says Mayweather can be had if
fighters keep calm and follow a
good game plan. “What happens
now is they lose before they step
into the ring,” he said. “Mayweather outsmarts them.”
BOXING ISN’T DEAD: The
problems with boxing are simple
and easily solved, De La Hoya
says. Top boxers like Mayweather
need to fight more often, and dif-

ferent promoters have to match
their best fighters against boxers
with other promoters to make
more big fights. De La Hoya says
he is all in now on his promotional
company, Golden Boy Promotions, and believes the seemingly
insatiable demand by sports programmers for live content will
keep boxing popular for years to
come. “We haven’t even scratched
the surface,” he said. “This is a
business that maybe one day, 20
or 30 years from now, I will sell
and it will be big.”

Spieth returns to site of PGA Tour breakthrough
By Luke Meredith
Associated Press

Jordan Spieth’s remarkable rise through the PGA
rankings began with a spectacular bunker save at last
year’s John Deere Classic.
Now Spieth has returned
to the Quad Cities to defend the title that helped
launch his career.
Then just 19, Spieth became the youngest PGA
Tour winner in over 80
years when he holed out
from a bunker on No. 18
and survived a playoff at
TPC Deere Run in 2013.
“My golf world has
changed completely since
last year at this time,” Spieth said. “I’m sure I’ll have a
lot of adrenaline. Even just
thinking about this week
more than other weeks
has brought a little faster
heartbeat to me, and I think
that’s a really cool thing.”

Spieth went on to win
Rookie of the Year honors
last season, and he’s currently sixth on the money list.
The only thing missing
from Spieth’s sparkling resume is another win.
Though he finished second at the 2014 Masters,
Spieth has yet to match
his performance from last
year’s John Deere Classic. But Spieth has strung
together four consecutive
top-20 finishes, including a
tie for 11th at the Quicken
Loans National two weeks
ago in Bethesda, Maryland.
“I’ve been anxious for another win because of how
good this felt last year, and I
had a lot of close calls and I
feel like I’m knocking on the
door again,” Spieth said. “I
won’t get caught up in the
hype. I won’t be thinking
about any of that or anything that’s happened, what
defending is like.”

The field in the Quad Cities typically doesn’t match
that of other events because
it’s usually held the week
before the British Open.
Still, Spieth should face
plenty of competitions
from the likes of Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker, who
combined to win the last
four tournament titles prior
to Spieth’s breakthrough.
Johnson, who grew up in
nearby Cedar Rapids, won
in 2012 and earned a spot
in last year’s playoff. Johnson has struggled of late
though, following up a tie
for 40th at the U.S. Open by
missing the cut at the Travelers Championship.
But Johnson will be
making his 13th start at
TPC Deere Run, and his
familiarity and success in
the Quad Cities could help
spark a late-season run.
“Obviously I haven’t been
in top form,” Johnson said.

“I’m not going to put any
more merit into this week
than the next. I mean, if
it happens this week, terrific. I know I know this
golf course. Obviously I’ve
got some confidence here
and that sort of thing. But
heck, that’s happened many
times, and I’ve come out
and laid an egg. I mean, I’m
just going to go play.”
Stricker, who is 47, has
been playing a limited schedule for a few years. But the
University of Illinois alum
has always managed to fit
this tournament into his
schedule — much to the chagrin of the rest of the field.
Stricker
won
three
straight at Deere Run from
2009-11, and strong recent performances at the
Memorial Tournament at
U.S. Open showed that the
Wisconsin native can still
compete with the best in
the world.

Change it up: How seven new coaches are shaping tone
By Barry Wilner
Associated Press

From the smooth, almost laid-back approaches
of Lovie Smith and Jim
Caldwell to the fiery passion of Mike Zimmer, new
NFL coaches are reshaping
the environments of their
teams.
Some have much bigger
chores than others.
Bringing in a new coaching staff usually means the
previous one did too much
losing. That’s true times
seven this year as Smith
takes over at Tampa Bay,

Caldwell in Detroit, Zimmer in Minnesota, Ken
Whisenhunt in Tennessee,
Bill O’Brien in Houston, Jay
Gruden in Washington and
Mike Pettine in Cleveland.
PETTINE:
BEING
BLUNT
Pettine might have the
biggest challenge because
he takes over a perennial
loser: Cleveland last made
the playoffs in 2002. There’s
been discord surrounding
the franchise ever since
Jimmy Haslam bought it in
2012, and he’s already on
his third head coach.
The son of a highly suc-

cessful high school coach,
Pettine is bright, self-confident and media savvy, seemingly lacking the suspicious
nature of so many NFL head
coaches.
He doesn’t pull punches,
which is critical in engineering a cultural change.
“I would say no nonsense,” Pettine says. “I have
been nicknamed BFT: Blunt
Force Trauma. The days are
too short to dance around
subjects and I think guys appreciate that.”
SMITH: STAYING LOWKEY
Another necessary skill is

communication. Smith, who
was 84-66 in nine seasons in
Chicago, yet was canned after 2012, is a master at that.
After the roughness of Greg
Schiano’s reign in Tampa,
Smith’s low-key style easily
won over the players.
Not that Smith doesn’t
know how and when to be
stern; he learned under
Tony Dungy, a master communicator.
“It’s been a while, I can
honestly say, since you’ve
seen guys smile this much
and have this much fun,”
says DT Gerald McCoy,
among the Bucs’ best play-

ers. “It’s just a completely
different feel around the
building.”
CALDWELL: STAYING
CALM
Caldwell also comes from
the Dungy coaching tree,
and he might still be the man
in Indianapolis had Peyton
Manning not missed 2011
after neck surgery. The Lions needed a steadying influence as head coach after
the often unpredictable Jim
Schwartz regime.
To some, Caldwell was a
surprise choice. To others,
he is the anti-Schwartz and
will bring a calm steadiness

to Detroit — along with
more discipline for a team
that sometimes stepped
beyond the bounds of NFL
protocol in its on-field behavior.
Caldwell has joked about
his reputation for remaining
even-keeled.
“There’s no need for a
whole lot of cussing, screaming, yelling and all that kind
of stuff,” Caldwell says. “It’s
a mini-quiz out here. I never
had any of my professors
yelling in my ear when I was
sitting at the desk filling out
those multiple-choice questions.”

main event history.

World Series of Poker tourney
draws 6,683 entries
The World Series of Poker main event
has drawn nearly 6,700 entries and generated nearly $63 million in prize money.
Series officials said Monday night that
6,683 players ponied up $10,000 to enter
the no-limit Texas Hold ‘em tournament
in Las Vegas. That’s 5 percent more entries than last year, when Ryan Riess took
home an $8.4 million top prize.
The tournament is changing its prize
structure this year so the winner gets a
guaranteed $10 million.
Nearly 3,800 people entered the tournament Monday, the last of three starting
days, including poker professional Phil
Ivey and NBA free agent Paul Pierce.
Some players waited until the last minute
to cobble together the funds or win entry
through smaller tournaments.
The 2014 field is the fifth largest in

4 players eligible for NFL’s
supplemental draft
NEW YORK (AP) — Four players will
be available during the NFL’s supplemental draft Thursday.
League spokesman Michael Signora
said in an email that New Mexico receiver
Chase Clayton, North Carolina linebacker
Darius Lipford, Virginia-Lynchburg defensive tackle Lakendrick Ross and SMU
running back Traylon Shead were eligible
for the draft.
The supplemental draft allows qualified underclassmen who did not request
early entry into the regular draft to have a
chance at entering the NFL. Teams submit
picks and are awarded players if their bid
— for which round they would take that
player — is highest. Teams then lose the
corresponding pick in next year’s draft.
Players that are not picked become free
agents.

Popovich agrees to extension
to stay with Spurs
Gregg Popovich has agreed to a multiyear extension with the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs made the announcement on
Tuesday. The team did not announce the
terms of the deal in a two-sentence news
release.
With Tim Duncan, Boris Diaw and the
rest of the key elements of a team that
won the franchise’s fifth NBA title all set
to return next season, it was no surprise
that Popovich has signed on for a few
more years. He is 1,116-533 in his career,
including the playoffs, and won his third
coach of the year trophy this season after
leading the Spurs to an NBA-best 62 wins
in the regular season.
He is one of three coaches to be named
coach of the year three times.
Hall of Famer Jim Brown says
‘64 title ring stolen
CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns Hall

of Fame running back Jim Brown says
his 1964 NFL championship ring being
auctioned online was stolen from him.
Brown’s ring is up for bidding on
www.lelands.com until July 25. As
of Monday, the highest bid was for
$33,275. Brown tells cleveland.com
that a claim by the auction company
that he authenticated the ring is “a lie.”
Brown says he was unaware the ring
was being auctioned off.
Brown, who works as a Browns special adviser, says the ring was stolen
from him more than 40 years ago.
A phone message from the AP seeking comment from Lelands was not immediately returned.
One of the greatest players in NFL
history, Brown rushed for 12,312 yards
in nine seasons. In ‘64, he rushed for
1,446 yards and scored seven touchdowns as the Browns won the title —
the last for any major Cleveland sports
franchise.
