Soul Harvest Church will hold its second “Back 2 School Giveaway” on Saturday, Aug. 9, at the church, located in upper Mason. According to organizer Hollie Simpkins, the event will begin at 11 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. There will be free school supplies given out, including backpacks, notebooks, pencils, folders, binders, crayons, markers, scissors, rulers, erasers and glue. Students attending will visit “stations” where they will be able to choose items needed for their particular grade level. In addition, personal care items will also be available. Shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes and much more will be given away. Free haircuts will be offered to the children. They will be on a first come, first serve basis, and only with a parent consent form. A hot dog lunch will also be served. Simpkins said more than 200 filled backpacks were distributed to students at the inaugural event. Items were donated by individuals and businesses, with another church assisting at the event. With that many children visiting the stations and getting haircuts last year, Simpkins said there was a waiting period for some. To make the wait more enjoyable, a new event has been added this year. There will be an inflatable bounce house and slide for the children to play on, while waiting for their haircuts and supplies. School items will be given until the supply is exhausted. — NEWS Obituaries: A2 Opinion: A4 Weather: A5 Nation: A3 Winners announced for 5K Run/Walk Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com CHESTER — Despite the rainy weather that moved in, several runners participated in the second annual Summertime in the Country 5K Run/Walk.

Council votes to terminate former Clerk-Treasurer Sonya Wolfe By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Council held a special meeting last Thursday to discuss employee discipline. The council went into executive session to discuss disciplinary action against Sonya Wolfe, who served as clerktreasurer for the Village of Pomeroy. After exiting executive session, the council took a vote, with three council members voting to fire Wolfe, three abstaining from a vote, and Mayor Jackie Welker breaking the tie with a yea vote, terminating Wolfe immediately. “It’s unfortunate,” Welker said after the meeting was adjourned. “We all like her.

But’s not too much to think there will be added protection for women and more accountability, stiffer penalties and new standards for the institutions. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., a leader in the effort to stop sexual assault on campuses, and a bipartisan group of co-sponsors — including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla. — introduced legislation last week aimed at protecting and empowering college and university students. Good for the senators, college administrators and law enforcement officials who have rallied around an issue that for too long, too many people have pretended doesn’t exist. It’s also good for female students in the Ohio Valley who have access to several nearby colleges and universities, including Rio Grande, Ohio, Ohio State and Marshall, just to name a few. Just because a college woman wears a short skirt or a low-cut blouse and is drunk, drugged or flirtatious doesn’t mean she is fair game. Men must be educated to understand that. Not all education on campus must take place in a classroom or laboratory. The legislation makes it clear there will be no excuses for preying on women. It aims to change the “boys will be boys” mentality that has long existed in closed cultures such as colleges and the military. In preparing the legislation, legislators held a series of round-table discussions and surveyed 236 schools about how they handle rapes and sexual assaults. Some legislators received resistance from some colleges, from the American Council on Education, which represents more than 1,700 college and university presidents and from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. Resistance centered around complaints that some schools have limited resources to focus on topics other than education, that some colleges and universities already are working hard to address the serious and complex societal issue and that the rights of the accused were being ignored. Those complaints are bogus. No one is calling for a presumption of guilt, only that victims’ rights are equal to those of the accused. And any college or university administrator who doesn’t think that keeping students safe is part of his job should find another line of work. Specifically, the legislation imposes hefty fines — up to 1 percent of an institution’s operating budget — for schools that don’t comply. Complete withdrawal of federal aid is the only financial penalty available under current law, McCaskill said, adding that it’s an ineffective deterrent because “everyone knows that is not going to happen.” Along with establishing realistic fines, the measure takes enforcement of cases involving student athletes away from athletic departments. No more special treatment because someone brings in a lot of money for the university. The bill also would require schools to make public the results of anonymous surveys about campus assaults, designate new resources and support services for assault survivors, establish minimum training standards for on-campus personnel and increase campus accountability and coordination with law enforcement. This is good legislation designed to counter a huge problem, best illustrated by a finding from a White House task force that one in five women is sexually assaulted while in college. The bill has no chance of becoming law before the next school year begins, with Congress going into recess next month. But once lawmakers are back, this issue should be pushed to the top of the legislative calendar.

THEIR VIEW 25:1 is our policy, Mr. President? By Ellen Lindeen The crisis in Gaza is horrific and the conflict between Israel and Palestine is ongoing. Yet the latest killings seem to be so heinous and out of proportion that the U.S. must consider our part in this. The dominant media narrative is that Hamas kidnapped and killed three Israeli settlers and for that reason, people in the Gaza Strip must be punished. The not-somainstream narrative is that there was no proof that the kidnappings and/or killings were instigated by Hamas, who has denied involvement, when the bombing began. But let us assume for the sake of this discussion that the kidnappings and killings were the result of Palestinians. This act is thought to justify the killing of 1,650 people, many hundreds of them women and children. When did we as a country start to believe that the killing of children is an acceptable response to violence? When did slaughtering civilians become justifiable? That is the “eye for an eye” mentality, but in this case, the killing is actually 25 sets of eyes of Palestinian men, women and children, for one set of Israeli eyes (1,650 Palestinians/66 Israelis). As of Aug. 2, 40 percent of Gaza is in rubble, and it was already one of the most densely populated pieces of land on the earth. When you, Mr. President, say that Israel has a right to defend itself, did you mean to give the IDF permission to bomb UN schools? Did you think the Israeli military would target young children on the beach? Did you consider that the peace protesters in the West Bank would be met with IDF live fire? Did you think an Israeli captain would shoot an unarmed 13-year-old girl in the Rafah Refugee camp? Israel says that it dropped leaflets telling people to leave their homes. Where are they to go? The Egyptian border is closed; the Israeli border is closed. Are they to swim? Most have gone to schools and hospitals which have been mercilessly bombed. Killing is wrong, of course, no matter who does it. But do killings of Israelis justify our complicity in the same kind of behavior? Even if we do not consider the problems with the formation of Israel in 1948 or the war in 1967 that pushed the borders, and even if we do not remember that Israel has more than 50 Human Rights Violations recorded at the United Nations — more than all other countries combined — we must acknowledge that people in Gaza have been locked in the world’s largest open-air prison for six years. There is not enough food, water, health supplies or electricity for the population. Freedom Flotillas carrying humanitarian assistance have been denied entrance and some of the peace activists on the boats were killed. You have tried to have a more balanced approach to the conflict than those before you, and so many in this country want to portray you as pro-Islam at the expense of Israel. However, the U.S. must do more to stop this violence. The U.S. gives Israel $3 billion each year in military aid, so we must accept some responsibility in this slaughter. There is a difference between homemade rockets and F16 fighter jets. Are we about revenge and retribution, or about peace and equality? Is “an eye for an eye” what we believe?

Associated Press Hub From Page A1 centered around a home located at 2466 Ohio 588 and involved a six-month investigation that uncovered a major drug supplier from Detroit and Columbus. The home was reportedly a major hub in drug trafficking from the Columbus area into southeast Ohio and West Virginia. Arrested at the scene were Earnest J. Moore III, 38, of Columbus, and Brandon Q. McNair, 31, of Columbus, who have been charged with firstdegree felony drug possession charges. Rasheed T. Latham, 26, of Detroit, was also arrested for a second-degree felony possession charge. Latham and Moore are also both facing charges of trafficking in drugs and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a second-degree felony. Latham reportedly had a felony probation warrant out for his arrest in Michigan, while Moore is reportedly on parole for similar charges in Franklin County, Ohio. Task force agents also reportedly seized 62 grams of heroin, 9.8 grams of crack cocaine, and three grams of marijuana during the raid. A total of $1,468 cash was also seized during the bust as proceeds of drug trafficking. Following their arrest late last month, the three suspects appeared in the Gallipolis Municipal Court for initial arraignment hearings, and according to complaints filed by Agent Frank Stewart of the Gallia-Meigs Crimes Task Force, the lengthy investigation into this case resulted in total monies spent in excess of $2,000 by the three agencies who were involved in be held on Sunday, Aug. 10 at the American Legion Hall in Racine, with a pot luck dinner starting at noon.

Dalton signed a six-year extension. According to multiple reports, the deal is worth up to $115 million and will prevent Dalton playing out the final year of his rookie contract. The deal was announced at a news conference on Monday, but financial details were not released. Dalton said he is relieved to AP Photo | Al Behrman have the deal finalized before the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (14) cheers from the sidelines season. with Clint Boling (65) and A.J. Green (18) while the kickoff squad practices “You do have it in the back of at the NFL football team’s training camp Friday in Cincinnati. your mind, when is it going to get done,” Dalton said. “Now we don’t have to worry about it. Like (coach) Marvin (Lewis) said, just play the game and I don’t have to have this hanging over me. “To get this opportunity to come to the city of Cincinnati, get drafted here and play for the Bengals and now sign this extension and be here for a long time, I’m just so blessed.” Added Dalton: “We’re excited to know we’re going to be here for a long time.” Dalton has passed for more than 3,000 yards in each of his three seasons. He led the Bengals to an 11-5 record and AFC North title in 2013. He set career highs with 33 touchdown passes and 20 interceptions. Dalton was a second-round draft choice in 2011. “Andy is not only a fine player, I think he is an exceptional person,” said Bengals president Mike Brown in a statement released by the team. “Nobody has more respect in our building than he. I would tell you that of all the quarterbacks we have had, he is respected by his teammates as much as any of them.” Despite his regular-season success, Dalton has been criticized See DEAL | B2 Browns’ Gordon practices as appeal concludes BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Josh Gordon got back on the field before the NFL stopped him. Gordon returned to training camp and practiced Monday as his appeal hearing with the NFL took place for a second day in New York. The Pro Bowl wide receiver ended his workout earlier than his teammates so he could participate in the hearing via teleconference with his legal team, which fought his potential one-year suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Gordon’s hearing carried into Monday after the sides met for nearly 10 hours on Friday in Manhattan. Gordon’s lawyer, Maurice Suh, contends that the 23-year-old, who has a history of drug issues, tested positive for marijuana because of secondhand smoke. The hearing wrapped up shortly before 3 p.m. League spokesman Greg Aiello said he did not expect an immediate resolution and did not know when there will be a ruling on Gordon’s case. Until he’s told otherwise, Gordon intends to keep practicing. He missed two workouts last week as well as Saturday’s scrimmage in Akron, where Cleveland’s offense struggled without him. For now, he’s free to play and the Browns are hoping that continues. “It’s always special to have Josh out there,” cornerback Joe Haden said. “When Josh is out there, it’s like LeBron came back. He’s a big, big part of our offense and a really, really special player.” Gordon’s situation has hung over the Browns for months, but there at least seems to be an ending in sight. Because he’s in Stage 3 of the league’s substance program, Gordon could receive a oneyear suspension and would then have to apply for reinstatement with Commissioner Roger Goodell. There’s a chance Gordon could get a reduced suspension, and he could be helped by the recent public outcry over the league’s handling of the case involving Baltimore running back Ray Rice, who was given a two-game suspension for domestic violence. When he was in Canton last week for Pro Football Hall of Fame festivities, Goodell said he was not currently involved in Gordon’s case. “At some point in time, I may have an opportunity to be involved,” Goodell said. “When I am, I look forward to meeting with him.” The Browns are eager for a final answer regarding their top playmaker. Gordon emerged as one of the league’s biggest game-breaking threats last season. Despite being suspended two games and playing with three quarterbacks, Gordon still led the league with 1,646 yards receiving. He scored nine touchdowns and became the only player in league history to record consecutive 200-yard games. He’s a playmaker, a difference maker and the Browns are hoping to have No. 12 at their disposal for as long as possible. Browns wide receiver Nate Burleson said football is providing Gordon with a needed outlet during a difficult time. Gordon needs the Browns as much as they need him. “It’s kind of a sanctuary for him,” Burleson said. “He had a smile on his face and he cracked some jokes. I just like seeing him on the field. “There are certain guys that the league needs to have on the field and he’s one of them. He’s one of the more premiere talents in the NFL, so I hope that he’s in a Browns jersey this year.” Cornerback Joe Haden, who is close with Gordon, said his younger teammate has been trying to stay upbeat. “He’s doing the best he can,” Haden said. “He’s staying positive. At the same time, he has the support of us, his teammates. We’re like his family, so anything he needs he knows we’ve got him. He’s just trying to keep it as positive as he can.” AP Photo | Al Behrman Hall of Fame inductee Andre Reed, left, and former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly hug during the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony Saturday, Aug. 2 in Canton, Ohio. Reed brings the emotion, Strahan laughs CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Receiver Andre Reed delivered the emotion and managed to hook up for one more catch from quarterback Jim Kelly on the Pro Football Hall of Fame stage. And leave it to Michael Strahan and his familiar gap-toothed grin for bringing the laughs in closing the ceremony honoring the sevenmember 2014 class of inductees. The defensive end cracked he was still a little scared of former New York Giants teammate Lawrence Taylor. Strahan singled out former Philadelphia Eagles tackle Jon Runyan in the crowd and referred to him as his toughest opponent and “350 pounds of twisted steel and non-sex appeal.” And Strahan even had a kiss blown to him on stage from Kelly Ripa, his morning TV show co-host. “Thank you, baby,” he said with a smile. Strahan, one of the game’s most dominant pass-rushers, closed the ceremony which ended just before midnight — nearly two hours later than scheduled. The ceremony went so late that Strahan noted that it was past his bedtime and joked that if the event lasted any longer he and his fellow inductees would be considered the 2015 class. Also inducted were offensive tackle Walter Jones, linebacker Derrick Brooks, defensive back Aeneas Williams, punter Ray Guy and defensive end Claude Humphrey. It was Reed, the former Buffalo Bills receiver, who stole the spotlight by closing his induction speech with a poignant surprise. Turning his back to the crowd, Reed caught a pass from Kelly before sharing a lengthy hug with his former teammate and now fellow Hall of Famer. It was a fitting finish for a tandem that set a then-NFL record by hooking up 663 times in Buffalo. And it was a moment that paid homage to the quarterback, who has spent the past 14 months battling cancer. “You taught us not to quit,” Reed said, referring to Kelly. “You have endured a lot in your life. The loss of your son, and most recently your battle with cancer. You’re an inspiration to all you touch.” Kelly was near tears, and the thousands of Bills fans in the crowd cheered. Even louder cheers went up when Reed delivered a message to any Bills prospective ownership group having an intention of buying and relocating the franchise. “Oh yeah, and the Bills will stay in Buffalo, too,” Reed said. The Bills are on the block after founder and Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March. The ceremony began with Brooks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star, who was selected for induction in his first year of eligibility, and followed by the 70-year-old Humphrey, who retired after the 1981 season. “Now they tell me I only had 10 minutes up here, but let me start off by telling you that I’ve waited 30 years to get to this podium, so don’t rush me guys,” said Humphrey, a six-time Pro Bowl selection who split 13 NFL seasons between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. Guy’s wait was nearly as long. The seven-time Pro Bowl selection spent See REED | B2 �SPORTS B2 Tuesday, August 5, 2014 McIlroy on top of the world again OVP SPORTS BRIEFS AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Rory McIlroy cruised to a wire-to-wire win at the British Open, and then chased down Sergio Garcia to win a World Golf Championship. And he sounds as though he’s just getting started. “My goal now until the end of the year is to try to win as many golf tournaments as I can,” McIlroy said Sunday after his two-shot victory at the Bridgestone Invitational. “It’s not to try to finish No. 1 in the world. It’s just to get as many titles as possible.” How many can he win? McIlroy paused and tilted his head, as if counting up the tournaments he has left on his schedule this year. And that’s exactly what he was doing. “Does the Grand Slam count in Bermuda?” he said playfully of the 36-hole exhibition for major champions. “Does the Ryder Cup count? I feel like with the way I’m playing, there’s a few left in me this year.” His confidence has never been higher. His game has never been better. The victory Sunday was his third of the year and returned him to No. 1 in the world for the first time since March of last year. It felt like a lot longer to McIlroy, who has gone through equipment changes, management changes and an engagement that he abruptly broke off with Caroline Wozniacki. “It feels good to be back on top,” he said. “Hopefully, I can keep it for a while.” The way he has played his last two tournaments, that looks like a distinct possibility. One of them was on the links Roush nets 8th ace at Riverside this year MASON, W.Va. — Brody Roush of New Haven recorded the eighth hole-in-one of the 2014 season at Riverside Golf Course. Roush recorded his first career ace by using a pitching wedge on the 115-yard 14th hole. The hole-in-one was witnessed by Brad Roush, Tommy Roush and Craig Roush.

Burfict emerges as center of Bengals defense CINCINNATI (AP) — Linebacker Vontaze Burfict has gone from low-risk investment to the heart of the Bengals defense in only two years. Cincinnati thinks so much of its Pro Bowl linebacker that it’s molding one of the league’s best defenses around him in only his third season. And coach Marvin Lewis, who has craved a leader in the style of former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, thinks he has one in the making. “I thought Vontaze had those qualities really early on,” Lewis said. “He was one of the best players I had seen after his first practice. I told him he was going to be a very good player. He’s not disappointed me. “He has the ingredients of what a great NFL player for a period of time can be. They’re innate to him.” Nobody doubted his instincts. It’s the other stuff that’s held him back. Burfict was a dazzling linebacker at Arizona State, but let his emotions get in the way. He was repeatedly penalized and disciplined for personal fouls. A low point was a 2010 game when Burfict head-butted Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz. Later, he was benched during a game for getting two personal fouls in the first half. After a poor showing at the 2012 NFL combine, Burfict was tagged as a high risk, an extremely gifted player who wouldn’t listen to coaches or keep his emotions under control. Nobody drafted him. The Bengals signed him as a free agent. By the end of his rookie season, he was a starter making an impact. Last season, he led the team in tackles 12 times, was honored as the AFC’s defensive player of the week for a 15-tackle performance against Cleveland that included a fumble return for a touchdown, and made his first Pro Bowl. Everyone could see that the defense had a new leader on the field, even though Burfict doesn’t consider himself the main one. “Everybody on this defense thinks of himself as a leader,” Burfict said after practice on Thursday. “At the end of the day, I’m just worried about all 11 getting lined up and getting to the ball. I’m not worried about who’s watching me, making sure I do it right. “I’m relentless to the ball and hopefully the others on the field are the same way.” BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Johnny Manziel took a planned trip one slot up the depth chart. There’s no telling how long No. 2 will stay No. 1. The Browns’ rookie quarterback took snaps with Cleveland’s starters for the first time in practice at training camp on Monday, moving ahead of Brian Hoyer for at least one day. Coach Mike Pettine said Manziel’s promotion was simply the next step in the club’s evaluation of the two quarterbacks in the second full week of their competition for the starting job. “It’s just part of our plan,” Pettine said. “We said we were going to allow the quarterbacks to compete, at some point you’ve got to mix up the supporting cast a little bit. It’s all part of it.” Manziel’s promotion — planned or not — caused quite a stir at Browns camp as another large crowd lined the fields behind team headquarters to get a close look at Hoyer vs. Johnny Football. From Page B1 for throwing six interceptions with only one touchdown in three postseason losses. Lewis said Dalton is still improving. “”It’s stating the obvious that this is a key move for the ongoing success of our team,” Lewis said. “I congratulate our front office, and Andy and his representatives, for coming together to make this happen in a constructive way for the football team. Andy is still a young player, he has led us to the playoffs three straight years, and by far we have not seen the best of him yet.” Call a local licensed Humana agent.

Next up is the PGA Championship at Valhalla, and McIlroy established himself as the overwhelming favorite. “Obviously, Rory is in incredible form at the moment,” said Adam Scott, who held the No. 1 ranking for 11 weeks. “He’ll be the man to beat next week by the look of things. And I’ll be gunning for him, for sure.” McIlroy became the 13th player with a major and a World Golf Championship, and he joined Tiger Woods as the only players to win them in consecutive starts. Woods wasn’t around to see it. Four months after back surgery, and in his third tournament since his return, Woods injured his lower back when he landed with a thud in the stand from an awkward stance atop a bunker on the second hole. He withdrew after a tee shot on the ninth hole, bending over slowly and struggling to remove the tee from the ground. It was not clear Woods could play in the PGA Championship next week. McIlroy heads south to Valhalla with a full head of steam. After a brief celebration with the claret jug, he was determined to move forward and chase more titles over the final four months of the year. He backed it up with a powerful performance on a soggy Firestone course. “That’s the most pleasing thing about this week is not dwelling about what happened at Hoylake,” he said. “That’s what I’ll have to do after this, as well. I’ve just got to keep moving forward. It’s great Phil Masturzo | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT photo Rory McIlroy pumps his fist after winning the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club on Sunday, July 3rd, 2014 in Akron, Ohio. to have a chance to try to go there to win three in a row. But if you’d have asked me what I’m proudest of this week, it’s the mindset that I took into here of not being complacent. I wanted to come here and really contend.” He went into the final round at Firestone three shots behind, and when he got to the fourth tee, he had a one-shot lead. He punched an 8-iron out of the rough and under the limbs, up an elevated green to 3 feet for birdie on the opening hole. He launched a 4-iron from 219 yards to the middle of the green for a twoputt birdie at No. 2. And when Garcia hit into the rough and took bogey on the next hole, McIlroy hit a gap wedge to 8 feet and poured that one into the cup. The Spaniard never caught up. McIlroy took the outright lead for the last time with an 8-foot birdie on No. 11 — Garcia missed from the same range — and finished with seven pars. That was enough to close with a 4-under 66 and finished at 15-under 265. He won $1.53 million, leaving him $765 short of Bubba Watson on the PGA Tour money list. Garcia wasn’t at his best and closed with a 71. He’s not sure it would have mattered. “Everybody saw it,” Garcia said. “He played very, very well. He drove the ball miles and very, very straight for the most part. He gave himself a lot of birdie looks.” McIlroy said it was the most comfortable he ever felt trying to close out a golf tournament, and this was his 13th title worldwide. Plenty more seem likely to follow. Manziel works with Browns starters Deal Get Medicare Ready! Daily Sentinel Reed Pettine knew the decision to move the popular Manziel in with the starters would cause a commotion. “That’s great,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. “That comes with the territory.” Manziel had worked exclusively with Cleveland’s second-string offense until Monday, when Hoyer was dropped back with the subs. Pettine cautioned not to look deeper into the change and said there’s still a strong chance Hoyer will start Saturday’s exhibition opener in Detroit. Pettine said Manziel’s performance in Saturday’s scrimmage at Akron, where he made plays with his arm and legs, had no bearing on him practicing with the starters. “It’s just something we wanted to work them both in and it’s part of our process,” he said. On his first play of 11-on-11 drills, Manziel completed a 40-yard pass to wide receiver Travis Benjamin, who came back to grab the underthrown side of Fawcett Stadium chanting: “Begin with the end in mind,” to remind From Page B1 people how important it is to set goals. his 14-year career with And he had the other the Oakland/Los Angeles side chanting: “Die Raiders.

Moments later, Manziel’s tipped pass intended for Josh Gordon was intercepted by safety Donte Whitner. Manziel completed 6 of 17 passes during the practice, and Hoyer was 11 of 22. After reviewing the tape, Pettine said both quarterbacks made progress during the Akron scrimmage, where Manziel showed some of the elusive scrambling ability which helped him win the Heisman Trophy as a freshman at Texas A&M. “I think both quarterbacks took steps,” he said. “I thought they both played to their skillset. I thought Johnny did a good job making some plays with his feet, keeping plays alive, and Brian I thought showed some poise in the pocket and stepped into some throws. Let’s not forget, that he’s a guy coming off of a knee (surgery) and that was really the first true live work that he had gotten, so I thought that was good work for him as well.” “If you would have told me, ‘Aeneas, you have to the potential to be one of the best cornerbacks,’ I would have thought you were crazy and hit you with my right hand,” Williams said. “I’ll just take a moment to soak this all in.” Brooks, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection, paid tribute to family members, teammates and coaches, from his Pee-Wee playing days to his 14 NFL seasons in Tampa Bay. He thanked his late mother Geraldine BrooksMitchell for instilling humility in him. He referred to former Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy as his mentor. And Brooks thanked Dungy’s successor, Jon Gruden, for helping the Bucca- neers believe they could be champions. It was under Gruden when the Bucs blossomed into Super Bowl winners during the 2002 season in which Brooks earned NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors. “There is no higher place to go in this game, and I thank you guys,” Brooks said. Jones, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection who spent his 12-year career in Seattle, thanked Seahawks fans for their overwhelming support. And he was honored to be only the third player who spent their entire careers in Seattle, joining receiver Steve Largent and defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy. �CLASSIFIED Daily Sentinel Tuesday, August 5, 2014 B3 NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS Sealed proposals for the County Paving Project – ROUND 28 will be received by the Meigs County Commissioners at their office at The Meigs County Courthouse, 100 E.

(AP) — Ryan Shazier grew up the football equivalent of a Rorschach test. Some coaches looked at Shazier’s 6-foot-1 frame with plenty of room to grow and saw a defensive end. Others focused on his blazing speed and saw a safety. Not Shazier. “I always like to hit people,” he said. “Linebacker is like the best spot because you get to hit people … I feel it’s my calling.” Judging by the rookie’s fearless first week of training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he’s not wrong. The 15th overall pick in the draft is drawing raves from his teammates for his quickness and his coaches for his smarts. Now comes the hard part: incorporating both in the span of a month in a defense that can take years to master. “He has all the intangibles,” inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons said. And some of the tangibles, too. Shazier provided training camp with its initial “wow” moment on Monday during “backs on backers,” a pass blocking drill that also serves as a rite of passage for rookies. It is the first drill of the summer done in full pads, one designed to give young players a taste of the physicality that awaits. With one startling sequence, Shazier showcased why the Steelers made him the highest linebacker they’ve taken in the draft since they took Timmons in the same spot in 2007. Pitted against veteran running back LeGarrette Blount, Shazier faked right then sprinted left. Blount reached out to jam him, but by the time Blount’s arms were extended, Shazier was already at the quarterback (in this case former All-Pro linebacker and current assistant coach Joey Porter). “Speed is your asset!” Porter repeated over and over as the two met in the backfield. Coach Mike Tomlin immediately ordered Shazier and Blount back to the line of scrimmage. The second snap was an instant replay of the first, with Shazier dancing his way by Blount to an ecstatic Porter. Blount salvaged some pride the third time around, effectively stopping Shazier when Shazier attempted to bullrush the heavier — and decidedly stronger — running back. “I’ve still got to work on it,” Shazier said. And he’s got time, just not that much. Shazier is the rarest of Steelers rookies: one expected to come in and start right away while playing a pivotal spot in defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau’s complex 3-4 defense. It’s a responsibility even players such as Timmons have struggled to master, and Timmons had the luxury of spending his first two seasons as role player. “We were a totally different ballclub when I came in,” Timmons said. “It’s hard to compare. He’s blessed to be in a circumstance where he can start early.” While linebackers coach Keith Butler allows he can “hide” Shazier occasionally, he understands opponents will try to take advantage of Shazier’s inexperience. Thing is, the Steelers don’t consider Shazier as inexperienced as the typical rookie. Ohio State coaches asked him to become a student not just of his position but of where the other 10 defenders are supposed to be as well. Butler believes Shazier’s ability to think about the entire scheme instead of his own personal assignment will make the transition from college to the NFL easier. “A lot of times when they understand concepts it’s easy for them to pick up stuff,” Butler said. “They know the reason they’re doing what they’re doing and they know they need to be at this place at this time within the framework of the play.” Shazier is comfortable with the expectations, even at a place that tends to churn out Pro Bowl linebackers with alarming regularity. He is con- stantly following Timmons, trailing the eight-year veteran around the Saint Vincent College campus like a zealous intern. “I almost try to be his shadow,” Shazier said. “Any time he’s out there I try to be with him because he knows everything going on. He’s always trying to be around the ball.” A place the Steelers expect Shazier to be with regularity, trusting Shazier’s instincts will be able to overcome whatever hesitation might exist as a play unfolds. “If he’s comfortable with the game, the game slows down for him,” Butler said. “He’s got to understand what the offense is trying to do. He’s got a lot of guys around him that can help him with that.” Shazier has no problem playing the role of student. And despite his swift ascent up the depth chart, he’s hardly ready to say that he’s ready. Not yet anyway. “I’m not trying to rush anything,” he said. “I’m just learning like everybody else.” Baltimore Ravens Stern set to enter basketball’s HOF defense looks to get swagger back OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens’ defense is focused on regaining its hard-hitting reputation. The unit lost some of its swagger last year following the retirement of linebacker Ray Lewis and departure of safety Ed Reed. Baltimore was also lacking in effectiveness, ranking 12th in the league and yielding more than three touchdowns per game. “I’m not saying that we were bad. We weren’t bad. But the fact of it is, we’ve got to be dominant,” defensive coordinator Dean Pees said Friday. “That’s what we’re trying to do now — get back to where we belong in that top 5, top 3, and have people fear coming in here and playing us.” Back in the day, the Ravens indiscriminately dealt out punishment to any member of the opposition who had a football in his hand. “I don’t know that we had that last year at times,” Pees said. “Times we did, times we didn’t. But we’ve got to have it all the time. That’s what we’re trying to develop, and that’s what we’re trying to get done.” Pees hopes a mixture of exuberant youth and veteran leadership will produce the desired results. Longtime pros Haloti Ngata, Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil expect big things from rookie linebacker C.J. Mosley and third-year linebacker Courney Upshaw, along with cornerback Jimmy Smith and safety Matt Elam. “I’m excited about our defense, how fast we’re looking,” said Ngata, a five-time Pro Bowl tackle. Although rookie Brent Urban is lost for the season after tearing his ACL this week, the Ravens still have enough young players so that Ngata and end Chris Canty can get a break every now and then. Defensive line coach Clarence Brooks expects this season to be vastly dissimilar to 2013, when the Ravens went 8-8, gave up 75 points in the final two games and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007. “Putting it quite simply, last year wasn’t good enough,” Brooks said. John Harbaugh won’t stand for another year like 2013, the first time in his six years as head coach that Baltimore went home after the regular season. “We’re in position to improve on defense — all phases — and we need to,” he said. “We want our run defense to be more dominant. We want to be more solid with our underneath pass coverage. But certainly, you can’t give up big plays. We gave up too many of them last year.” Law Enforcement Apartments/Townhouses The Town of Mason is accepting applications for the position of a full time, WV certified police chief for Mason, WV.

Call Wayne 404-456-3802 AP Photo | Bullit Marquez In this Oct. 10, 2013 file photo, NBA Commissioner David Stern answers questions from reporters at a news conference in Pasay city, south of Manila, Philippines. Stern is amazed when he looks at the NBA and compares it to the league that was struggling to stay afloat when he started. as commissioner after exactly 30 years on Feb. 1 — he won’t say retired, because he’s still working — and once thought he would wait five years for induction, same as players. Officials from the NBA and Hall of Fame persuaded him otherwise, and nobody is arguing that he belongs immediately. “It would be hard to overstate the impact I think David has had on the game of basketball. Admitting that I’m prejudiced toward basketball, David Stern could go down in our era as the greatest commissioner of all-time in all sports,” said former NBA coach and ESPN analyst P.J. Carlesimo. For Stern, it will be the first official basketball function he’s attended since leaving the commissioner’s office in the hands of Adam Silver. He’s remained busy advising some communications Rentals companies and technology startups, giving speeches and traveling on behalf of the league, and is anxious to catch up with the growing list of supporters he has learned will be in Springfield, Massachusetts. “It’s very nice and very enjoyable,” Stern said, “and the Hall of Fame is always a kind of reunion in any event. And so this will be just one more, which is great.” Inducted in the contributor category, Stern is mostly being recognized for his accomplishments as commissioner. But things like free agency and the merger with the ABA came much earlier, when he was working with the league as a lawyer, before he joined the NBA as its general counsel in 1978. Some of those advances are the ones that occasionally come to mind when he’s talking with old coworkers.

Application/background check required. Call 446-3644 “It was a great run,” he said. “We had a lot of fun together and the success was as a result of the efforts of an extraordinary number of people.” Stern talks often with Silver and is impressed with the way his successor has handled a number of challenges in his first six months, most notably the Donald Sterling controversy. Yet it would be hard for Silver — or anyone else — to ever match the career of Stern, who oversaw the addition of seven teams, the creation of the WNBA and NBA Development League, and the growth of revenues to about $5 billion annually. “You just look at where the game is today, and his fingerprints are all over that. My dad tells me stories all the time of how the league used to be — it was great — but nothing compared to what it is now,” said Golden State All-Star Stephen Curry, whose father, Dell, started his 16-year career in 1986. “When it comes to how much presence we have across the globe, playing conditions, how the league has expanded, he’s had every part in leading the charge.” Stern calls his induction a group award, citing the efforts of owners, players, referees and league employees, and jokes that “I haven’t bought the napkin yet” on which he would write his acceptance speech. But the honor is Stern’s, and he’s excited to accept it. Miscellaneous OMAHA STEAKS: ENJOY 100 percent guaranteed, delivered to-the-door Omaha Steaks!

Now the former commissioner looks at a league whose 1980 championship series was not broadcast live but now has games televised around the world, whose players average more than $5 million a year in salary as the highest-paid team athletes in sports, and sometimes can’t believe he and his colleagues pulled it off. “You can’t even do justice to everything that everybody has done,” Stern said in a phone interview. “All you can do is focus on small chunks of it, but it’s great fun to contemplate how the NBA family has pulled together to be at a place where our players are now at the top of the celebrity period. “Pretty, pretty amazing and great.” It helped to have marketable stars like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan. But now comes an honor for the person most responsible for it.

(AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. traded hats, waited for his cue, and flashed three fingers for the cameras. That’s one for every win. The beer baths, champagne toasts, selfies, and photo opps in Victory Lane are almost routine now for Junior. He added a new wrinkle at Pocono, a broom. Earnhardt hoisted the broom high over his head after he completed a season sweep at Pocono Raceway, the third win in a season that has served as a career renaissance for NASCAR’s most popular driver. Earnhardt now holds the No. 1 seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Can he keep the momentum headed into NASCAR’s version of the playoffs? “You’re the broadcaster,” Earnhardt teased crew chief Steve Letarte about that question. “You don’t,” the departing Letarte said. “You’re too far from the Chase.” The legion of Junior Nation fans roared when Earnhardt stormed ahead of the pack off the final restart with three laps left for the lead. His third win, he also won the Daytona 500, tied him for the most in Sprint Cup this season. Earnhardt held off the hardcharging Kevin Harvick to become the first driver to sweep both races at the track since Denny Hamlin in 2006. He tweeted “Lookin for a broom” last week when he landed in Pocono. He found one in Victory Lane. “This group all really enjoys each other,” Earnhardt said. “We want to see everybody happy.” They had tons of fun inside the Pocono media center. Letarte acted hurt when his nameplate didn’t have the same three winner’s stickers that were on Earnhardt’s card. Earnhardt also brought a Make-A-Wish Foundation teen to the podium and made sure he’d have his own namecard and stickers. “This is my buddy, Chris. Does he get one,” Earnhardt said. They all got their stickers — the same ones applied to the No. 88 Chevrolet. Earnhardt also became the fifth straight Hendrick Motorsports driver to win at Pocono. Owner Rick Hendrick was not at the race, though he did talk to his winning driver on the phone on pit road. “I told him thanks for believing in me and making my life better,” Earnhardt said. Earnhardt’s sweep followed Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson last year and Jeff Gordon in the August 2012 race. Earnhardt has his most wins since he won six times in 2004. His three wins are one shy of his combined total from 2005-2013. His win Sunday was the 22nd of a career still without a Cup championship. “We had a fast car all day,” Earnhardt said. “Steve’s strategy was perfect at the end. I don’t know if anyone knew what was going on there, but it was pretty awesome.” Earnhardt said before the race his No. 88 Chevrolet was better than his winner in June. They were both fast enough to take the checkered flag. He had a bit of luck in his first win when debris slowed down race leader Brad Keselowski. On Sunday, no one could touch Earnhardt over the final 14 laps. “We were determined to go home from the last win and improve the car,” he said. Earnhardt and Letarte are clicking in their final season together. Hendrick Motorsports named Greg Ives the crew chief for 2015 once Letarte heads to the broadcast booth. “I think he’s going to make me look bad,” Letarte said. “Mr. Hendrick has a remarkable talent of matching driv- ers with crew chiefs.” Harvick, who clinched a spot in the Chase, was second, followed by Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer and Greg Biffle. Gordon finished sixth a week after he won the Brickyard 400. He led a race-high 63 laps and passed 24,000 career laps led in the No. 24 Chevrolet and 1,000 laps led at Pocono. He still holds a 17-point lead over Earnhardt in the standings. Earnhardt would have the No. 1 seed because he was one more win than Gordon. Earnhardt, who swept a track for the first time since Talladega in 2002, had few cars left to hold off on the lead lap after several potential contenders got knocked out. Hamlin triggered a 13-car wreck with 43 laps after he got sideways coming out of a turn. Brian Vickers tried to avoid Hamlin and slammed into Matt Kenseth to send cars all over the track. The pileup looked like a “Big One” straight out of Talladega or Daytona, with smoking, dented and destroyed cars littering the track. Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet rested atop Paul Menard’s No. 27 Chevy. “I can’t drive it because my car is on top of the other car,” Stewart said over the radio. Stewart, Vickers, Menard and Matt Kenseth all visited the NASCAR care center. “Big wrecks are always frustrating when you’re in it,” Kenseth said. Aric Almirola said he slammed on the brakes as hard as he could, but still got “creamed from behind and pushed into the wreck.” Hamlin was able to straighten himself out and stayed out. Kyle Busch topped the lengthy list of stars with an early exit when the No. 18 needed a push to the garage with a variety of issues. Sixtime champion Jimmie Johnson finished outside the top 10 for the fourth straight race. He fell a lap down after his rear right tire smacked the wall, rebounded to run fifth, then a second blown tire forced him to the garage. “It wasn’t the best weekend but we still gave ourselves a chance at a win, if not a top five, today and came up a little short,” Johnson said. His teammate carried the Hendrick banner all the way to victory. “After last year, I thought the only thing we’re not doing is winning,” Earnhardt said. Now, the good things come in threes.
