Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

OHIO VALLEY — Counties
throughout the state of Ohio will
receive a payment from the casino tax revenue later this month.
The July 31 payments will mark
one year since the first distribution
was made to the counties, with the
amounts increasing each time.
Gallia County and Meigs
County are each set to receive

their largest payments to date.
Gallia County will receive
$95,838.97, while Meigs County
will receive $73,633.23.
Cuyahoga County will receive
the largest amount at $1.97 million,
and Vinton County will receive the
least at $41,318.62. Funding is determined by population.
From April to June of this year
— the three month period for
which the upcoming payments
will reflect — the four casinos

combined for a revenue of just
under $213 million. In the previous three months, the casinos has
a combined revenue of slightly
more than $193 million. (Note:
Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati did
not officially open until March 4.)
To date, Gallia County has
received $283,083.39 from the
casino tax revenue over four payments, the last in the amount of
$85,379.13 in April.
Meigs County has received

$182,356.26, with the largest
payment of $65,596.92 in April.
Funds received by the counties
are not earmarked by the state
and can be used at the discretion
of the county.
Payments are also made to
school districts in Ohio on a
semi-annual basis. These payments began Jan. 31, 2013. The
second payment will be on Aug.
31, with the amounts not known
yet. Payments were not made to

school districts in 2012.
In January, Gallipolis City
Schools received the largest payment at $46,019.21. Gallia County Local School District received
a payment of $44,509.40. Meigs

PORTLAND — A living history telling the story
of the life and times of Civil War soldiers was a highlight of the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Buffington Island held at the
Memorial Park in Portland over the weekend.
In addition to the camp sites of the Confederate
and Union soldiers where visitors got a glimpse of the
lifestyle experienced by soldiers in war times, there
were wagon tours of the battlefield with a narrator
from the Ohio Historical Society on board. As they
traveled along he related the history of the encounter
of the Confederate soldiers with massive Union forces
near the Ohio River and being pushed back to land
where they were defeated and surrendered.
A memorial to the over 100 men lost in that battle
was conducted by the Sons of Union Veterans reenactors as a part of the sesquicentennial celebration. Confederate Reenactor Jeff Carte of Circleville relaxes
There was also a special tribute to Union Major after a breakfast cooked over an open fire. He and his
wife Trisha have been reenactors for eight years and both

POMEROY — With the opening of Meigs Local
Schools just a few weeks from now , Dean Harris, transportation supervisor, and his staff are well into getting
the buses ready to roll.
At last week’s meeting of the Meigs Local Board of
Education, Harris reported on the status of buses and
personnel and the preparations that are under way to
transport the several hundred children to the three buildings in the district.
He said that bus inspections are ongoing but noted that
the district is still looking for reliable drivers with good
driving records to take the bus driver’s class. Anyone interested in becoming a bus driver who needs further information on what is required can get that information by
calling the bus garage, 742-2990.
While the first day of school for teachers is Aug. 19, the
first day for students is Aug. 21.
Locating all the students can be a challenge at the beginning of any new school year since some have moved
over the summer. So to be sure that every student has
transportation to school, families whose addresses are
different than they were last year, or those who have
changes in phone numbers, are asked to call the bus garage at 742-2990 between the hours of 7 and 10 a.m. to
report their new addresses and phone numbers.
Having that information before school starts alleviates
a lot of confusion for the drivers and the parents on the
first day of school.

Dr. Barbara Gellman-Danley
said. “Every member of the
Rio Grande family takes a
great deal of pride in insuring
our students graduate with
both the educational and social building blocks necessary
for lifetime success.”
To be considered a High

Reenactors of the Tennessee Co. C. were among those at the Battle of Buffington Island
reenactment to participate in the living history. After a satisfying breakfast cooked over
an open fire, George Morris of Selina strums on his guitar and Jared Springer of Coldwater listens to the music. Both of the reenactors had small parts in the movie “Gods and
Generals” produced in 2001.
The women of the reenactors often accompany the men and take a role in the camp chores.

Wagon tours of the Buffington Island battle grounds were offered on Saturday. On board

Tax
The average payment
per student is $20.98.
Payments
to
the
counties are based on
population, and payments
to the districts are based
on enrollment.
The Casino Tax Revenue is a result of the
constitutional amendment
passed in 2009 which allowed for the four casinos

to be placed in Ohio.
According to the Ohio
Department of Taxation
website, the Ohio Casino
Control Commission is
responsible for licensing
and regulating casino
operators, their employees, and gaming-related
vendors. The Ohio Department of Taxation is
responsible for administering the gross casino
revenue tax and for en-

suring compliance with
all pertinent state tax
laws, as well as administrative rules and policies
as they apply to other
taxes administered by the
Department of Taxation.
The
gross
casino
revenue tax is imposed on
licensed casino operators
at the rate of 33 percent.
“Gross casino revenue”
is the total amount of
money exchanged for

tokens, chips and tickets
at a casino facility, less
any winnings paid out to
wagerers.
The
operators
of
each casino facility are
required to file daily
returns with the Department and to remit
payments for the related
tax liabilities every day
that banks are open for
business. Each return reflects casino gaming activ-

equipment or other items
that will help the business
grow and expand employment. A loan amount of
$15,000 for each job affected is available, up to
a maximum of $50,000. A
five-year, fixed loan interest rate of 4% is available
to qualified borrowers.
Applicants must have a
business plan developed
that supports and clarifies what the business is
about. A business plan is
an important step in the
success of the venture.
Assistance is available
with this step from the
Ohio Small Business Development Center offices
located in our region.
The initial step is to
contact the RC&amp;D office
in Marietta to get further
information and an appli-

cation packet. Contact information is as follows:
Buckeye Hills RC&amp;D, 344

expanding an existing
business or starting a
small business operation.
Often, according to the
release, the big banks are
reluctant to take risk on
start-up businesses. A
revolving loan fund, like
that offered by Buckeye
Hills RC&amp;D, is seen as
one option small business
owners can use to build
and expand their business,
and also build a financial
and credit history.
According to Robert
First, Coordinator with
the RC&amp;D Council, funding is available to existing and start-up businesses as long as it has
a tie to job retention, job
creation, or expanded
job duties for existing
employees. The funding

ity over a 24-hour period.
The tax revenue collected from the gross casino
revenue tax is split among
seven funds benefiting the
counties and certain large
cities, school districts, host
cities, the Casino Control
Commission, the Ohio

State Racing Commission,
law enforcement training
and problem gambling and
addictions. Distributions
to localities occur on a
quarterly basis, except for
school districts, which will
receive their distributions
semi-annually.

an alternative for the system they have voted more
than three dozen times to
abolish in whole or in part.
Officially, the effort is
“in progress” — and has
been since Jan. 19, 2011,
according to GOP.gov, a
leadership-run website.
But internal divisions,
disagreement about political tactics and Obama’s
2012 re-election add up to
uncertainty over whether
Republicans will vote on
a plan of their own before
the 2014 elections, or if
not by then, perhaps before
the president leaves office,
more than six years after
the original promise.
Sixteen months before
those elections, some Republicans cite no need
to offer an alternative. “I
don’t think it’s a matter of
what we put on the floor
right now,” said Rep. Greg
Walden of Oregon, who
heads the party’s campaign
committee. He added that
what is important is “trying to delay Obamacare.”
Rep. Fred Upton of
Michigan, who leads a
committee with jurisdiction over health care, said,
“If we are successful in
ultimately repealing this
legislation, then yes, we
will have a replacement bill
ready to come back with.”
Divisions were evident
earlier this year, when legislation to make it easier
for high-risk individuals
to purchase coverage died
without a vote. It was
sidetracked after conservatives, many of them elected
with tea party support, objected to any attempt to
improve the current law
rather than scuttle it.
With the rank and file
growing more conservative,
some Republicans acknowl-

edge that without changes,
they likely couldn’t pass the
alternative measure they
backed when Democrats
won approval for Obama’s
bill in 2010. Among other
provisions, it encouraged
employers to sign up their
workers for health insurance automatically, so that
employees would have to
“opt out” of coverage if they
didn’t want it, and provided
federal money for state-run
high-risk pools for individuals and for reinsurance in
the small group market.
The current state of intentions contrasts sharply
with the Pledge to America,
the manifesto that Republicans campaigned on in
2010 when they took power
away from the Democrats.
That included a plan to “repeal and replace” what it
termed a government takeover of health care.
It promised “commonsense solutions focused on
lowering costs and protecting American jobs,” including steps to overhaul medical malpractice laws and
permit the sale of insurance
across state lines. Republicans said they would “empower small businesses with
greater purchasing power
and create new incentives
to save for future health care
needs.” They promised to
“protect the doctor-patient
relationship, and ensure that
those with pre-existing conditions gain access to the
coverage they need.”
But Rep. Paul Broun,
R-Ga., said, “We never did
see a repeal and replace bill
last time,” referring to the
2011-2012 two-year term
that followed the Republican landslide. “I hope we
can this time, and I’ll keep
fighting for it.”
Broun, running for the
Senate from Georgia in
2014 as a conservatives’
conservative, has drafted
legislation of his own that relies on a series of tax breaks
and regulatory changes such
as permitting insurance
companies to sell coverage
across state lines to expand
access to health care.

Other Republicans are at
work on different bills, in
the House Energy and Commerce Committee headed
by Upton, and elsewhere.
Rep. Steven Scalise of
Louisiana, who leads the
conservative Republican
Study Conference, said the
organization is working on
legislation to reduce health
care costs “without the
mandates and the taxes” in
the current law.
Like others involved with
the issue, he provided no
timetable and few specifics.
At the same time, the
other half of the 2010
pledge to “repeal and replace” is getting a workout.
The House voted last
week to delay two requirements, the 38th and 39th
time they have gone on
record in favor of repealing, reducing or otherwise
neutering the system that
bears Obama’s name.
In the case of one of
the rules, a requirement
for businesses to provide
insurance to their workers, the administration announced a one-year delay
earlier this month.
Democrats and even
some Republicans say the
intense focus on repealing
the health law is wide of
the mark.
“Every voter knows
what Republicans are
against. They don’t know
what they’re for” on health
care, said Rep. Steve Israel
of New York, who heads
House Democrats’ campaign committee. He said
the strategy would haunt
Republicans next year
among moderate and independent voters who want
changes, not outright repeal.
The fate of legislation to
put more funds into highrisk pools demonstrated
a belief among some Republicans that they should
advance alternatives. Polling presentations make the
same point but are not uniformly persuasive among
the rank and file, according
to officials, and lawmakers’
speeches sometimes make
it sound as if the health law
is disintegrating on its own.

AP National Security Writer

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. —
The audience gasped in surprise and gave
a few low whistles as Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel delivered the news that furloughs, which have forced a 20 percent
pay cut on most of the military’s civilian
workforce, probably will continue next
year, and it might get worse.
“Those are the facts of life,” Hagel told
about 300 Defense Department employees, most of them middle-aged civilians,
last week at an Air Force reception hall on
a military base in Charleston.
Future layoffs also are possible for the
department’s civilian workforce of more
than 800,000 employees, Hagel said, if
Congress fails to stem the cuts in the next
budget year, which starts Oct. 1.
On the heels of the department’s first
furlough day, and in three days of visits
with members of the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Marine Corps, Hagel played
the unenviable role of messenger to a frustrated and fearful workforce coping with
the inevitability of a spending squeeze at
the end of more than a decade of constant
and costly war.
The fiscal crunch also lays bare the politically unpopular, if perhaps necessary,
need to bring runaway military costs in
line with most of the rest of the American public that has struggled economically for years.
“Everybody’s bracing for the impact,”
Army Master Sgt. Trey Corrales said after
Hagel spoke with soldiers during a quick
stop at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Corrales’ wife, a military civilian employee, is among those furloughed, and
they have cancelled their cable TV and
started carpooling to work to save money.
“The effects of the economy have started to hit the military,” Corrales said. “It
was late in coming to us.”
The furloughs have hit about 650,000
civilian employees but also have slowed
health care and other services for the uniformed military, which has stopped some
training missions and faces equipment
shortages due to the budget shortfalls.
Troops were told this month they will no
longer receive extra pay for deployments
to 18 former global hot spots no longer
considered danger zones.
Troops already are facing force reductions, and the Army alone has announced
plans to trim its ranks by 80,000 over the
next five years.
Officials agree that the military has undergone cycles of expanding and shrinking of the force over generations. Hagel
said this time is different, and worse,
however, because of what he described as
a “very dark cloud” of uncertainty hanging
over the Pentagon as Congress considers
whether to reverse $52 billion in spending

Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.

cuts that are set to go into effect in 2014.
At the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville,
Fla., Hagel told an estimated 100 civilians
gathered in a bustling jet maintenance
hangar that the military had not been
prepared for the $37 billion in cuts that
took effect this year, forcing the furloughs.
While he said he was deeply sorry for the
strain the crunch has put on families, he
said he would not slash troops’ training
or other readiness budgets any further to
prevent huge gaps in national security.
“I’m sure you realize how disruptive the
furlough is to our productivity. So I’m hoping that we’re not going to do it again next
year,” Elizabeth Nealin, a research and engineering manager at the navy base’s fleet
readiness center, told Hagel.
“Have you planned for a reduction in
force?” Nealin asked bluntly.
Hagel said if the $52 billion cut remains
in place, “there will be further cuts in personnel, make no mistake about that.”
“I don’t have any choice,” he said.
The spending cuts this year may feel
more dramatic than in times past because
of a vast growth in Defense Department
personnel and equipment costs over the
past decade, said Todd Harrison, a senior
fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments in Washington. But
current spending levels are close to what
they were in 2007, when the war in Iraq
was at its peak.
“So we’re not even back to a pre-9/11
level,” he said.
Since 2000, the number of U.S. troops
has grown by about 3 percent to fight the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Harrison
said. But the number of civilian Defense
employees hired to support the troops has
far surpassed that, growing by 14 percent
in the same time.
Hagel said he is taking a hard look at
where fat can be trimmed from the Pentagon and said the military has been
“guilty of wasting a lot of money on a lot
of things.” But he also said he “can’t lead
this institution based on hope, based on
I think, or based on maybe” — and predicted more dollar cuts ahead.
In Charleston, where the hopeful crowd
quickly turned worried, Sandra Walker
pointedly asked Hagel what might be in
store for her job security, retirement benefits and security clearances if the shortfalls continue.
“I’ve taken a second job to compensate,
because I have several children at home,”
said Walker, who works in education and
training at a medical clinic on base. “And
if we are going to have future furloughs,
will those things be taken into consideration for the future of our jobs?”
Sticking to his message, and stopping
short of directly answering her question,
Hagel offered little hope.
“There’s no good news,” he said.

Sesquicentennial
From Page 1
Daniel McCook who died
in that battle held by the
Ohio Commandery Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States.
He was remembered by the
Ohio Historical Society
with a monument many
years ago.
On display in the Portland Community Center
museum were the rifle used
by Major McCook along
with two flags which flew
over Buffington Island during that 1863 raid. They are
part of the permanent Civil
War collection of the Ohio
Historical Society and were
brought in especially for
the observance.
The event was planned
by the Ohio Historical Society with imput from local
organizations and attracted visitors from all over
Ohio with several from
other states, including David Holmes of Marietta,
Ga., a direct descendant of
Major McCook, who came
for the rededication of the
McCook monument.
The opening ceremony
for the observance was
conducted by Glenda
Greenwood, Ohio Historical Society Board president. Her challenge to the
large crowd attending was
to ” learn from history so
that mistakes of the past

will not be repeated.” She
gave a tribute to the Civil
War reenactors who are
“keeping the story alive”
and challenged her listeners to “never take our freedom for granted.”
She commended Edd
Sharp of the History Preservation Committee for his
dedication to the development of the Heritage Trail
which marks the route
Confederate General John
Hunt Morgan and his men
took in their effort to reach
the Ohio River and cross
over into Virginia (West
Virginia) which was friendly to the Southern cause.
It was at that Portland site
that the fatal encounter between the North and the
South occurred.
Scott Britton, one of the
reenactors, gave a descriptive picture of that encounter of Morgan’s troops
with the Union gunboats
which blocked the Ohio
River crossing, and drove
them inland where they
were surrounded and then
surrendered. He told of
the escape of Morgan and
some of his men and their
eventual capture. “”Many
served and sacrificed for
us. Today we stand on hallowed ground. May we remain ever vigilant and may
God continue to bless our
nation,” he concluded.
Fred Lynch of the Sons

of Union Veterans and the
Ohio Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission, emphasized the importance
of Ohio’s contribution,
and the battle where many
served and sacrificed to
preserve the Union. He
described the Buffington
Island Battlefield Memorial Park as a “place to be
revered.” In 1865 when
the war ended 300,000
boys came home. “They
are credited with saving
and making possible the
United States of America,”
Lynch commented.
Edd Sharp of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans described the Heritage Trail
as a 17 year project .He
said for him and others it
became a “labor of love”
which required extensive
research to acquire accurate information, to complete the design of each
one of the large markers for
the 557 miles Morgan and
his men traveled in their
quest to reach a crossing
point on the Ohio River.
Joy Padgett, formerly
a State Senator, spoke on
behalf of Governor John
Kasich. She described the
observance as a “a day
for remembering,” and
presented a proclamation from the governor to
Greenwood who then on
behalf of Senator Lou Gentile, presented a citation

from the Ohio Senate.
Debbie Phillips of the
Ohio House of Representatives, spoke on the significance of the observance
and the importance of efforts to build a more perfect Union. In conclusion.
she presented a plaque to
go to the Meigs County
Historical Society.
In remarks from the
Meigs County Commissioners, President Tim Ihle
commented on lessons
learned from the Battle of
Buffington Island and the
importance of a united
country, then concluded
by saying that in America
today “all is not well.”
At the conclusion of
the opening ceremony,
the reenactors led by Jim
Oiler and Scott Britton,
marched to the large Civil
War monument for the annual memorial service in
remembrance of those who
died in the Battle of Buffington Island.
Oiler Introduced Jonathan Davis, commander
of the Ohio Department
of the Sons of Union Veterans spoke briefly and
was followed with comments from Jean Hilton
of the Ladies of the Grand
Army, presenting flowers
in remembrance of two
living daughters of the organization.
A dozen or so wreaths

from various patriotic organizations were placed at
the monument. Following
the benediction, there was
a gun salute to conclude
the ceremony. Standing
with the soldiers but not
participating in the gun sa-

lute, were a group of Ohio
and Michigan men called
“Squirrel Hunters,” members of the Ohio Civilian
Militia who came especially
to participate in the 150th
commemoration of the Battle of Buffington Island.

1st year confirmed Bowlsby’s message
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Bob
Bowlsby was only a few weeks
into his new job as Big 12 commissioner when at the league’s
football media days last July he
kept repeating the same thing to
all who would listen.
“Our message was we’re
stable, we’re strong and we’re
successful,” Bowlsby recalled a
year later. “Those were the three
watch words. … I uttered them a
whole bunch of times.”
Bowlsby won’t have to work
too hard to convince people of
that when he takes the podium

Monday at a downtown Dallas
hotel to kick off this year’s football media days.
The league’s 10 schools shared
a record $198 million in revenue
for the 2012-13 school year, a
total that could easily double
because of a new TV deal and
a Sugar Bowl partnership with
the powerhouse SEC. Nine of 10
teams went to bowl games, making the Big 12 the first league
ever to send 90 percent of its
teams to the postseason in the
same season.
“This year, I think people know

that we are those three things,
and I think the message is we’re
looking forward” Bowlsby said in
an interview with The Associated
Press. “We’re excited about the
future, we’re all about winning national championships, and we’re
going to do what we need to try
and make all the boats rise.”
No longer is the Big 12 just trying to survive, like it was during
the seismic shifts of conference
affiliation in previous summers
when the league lost four schools
and added two others to settle
into its 10-team configuration.

Bowlsby, the former Stanford
and Iowa athletic director, acknowledged that much of what
has been accomplished in his first
year leading the Big 12 was the
result of things that were already
in motion when he got there. That
included the framework of the
$2.6 billion TV deal with ESPN
and Fox Sports that goes through
2024-25 with each school granting its TV rights to the league.
“We got done the things that
needed to be done in the first
year, most of them were previously started,” Bowlsby said. “This

year may be a little more groundlevel logistics and tactical things,
as opposed to some of the highlevel things we had to deal with.”
This time, it’s putting the finishing details on items such as
potential scheduling alliances
with other leagues that would
include neutral-site games, the
Sugar Bowl setup that begins
with the 2014 season and their
bowl lineup in the post-BCS era.
The Big 12 is also hosting college
basketball’s biggest event, with the

OSU: Urban Meyer
disciplines 4 Buckeyes
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has disciplined
four players for legal problems, including suspending
leading-scorer Carlos Hyde
from all team activities in
the wake of an alleged assault against a female over
the weekend in Columbus.
In addition, star cornerback Bradley Roby, who
was arrested in Indiana for

an altercation with a security guard at a bar this past
weekend, will not represent
the Buckeyes at this week’s
Big Ten media days. He was
one of the players initially
selected to speak to reporters at the annual event.

Gordon sorry for
drug suspension
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Unable to fix his mistakes but
vowing not to repeat them, Browns wide receiver Josh
Gordon apologized for being suspended for violating the
NFL’s substance-abuse policy.
Gordon, who emerged as a much-needed playmaker for
Cleveland as a rookie last season, was suspended without
pay in June by the league for the first two games of this
season. Gordon will also forfeit two other game checks as
part of his punishment.
On Monday, Gordon apologized for his misstep and
promised to make amends with his teammates, Browns
fans and Cleveland’s front office.
“This hurt a lot of people,” Gordon said.
Gordon would not go into any details about the reasons
he was suspended, and referred to a statement he made last
month shortly after the penalty was announced. Gordon said
he used cough medicine containing codeine — a banned
substance — while recovering from strep throat in February.
“The fact that it happened, it was beyond me,” Gordon
said. “It’s one of those things you just really can’t control.”
Gordon also denied he has a substance-abuse problem.
He has not yet spoken with members of Cleveland’s new
front office about his issues. He was selected in last year’s
supplemental draft by the team’s previous regime.
“I have not sat down with them, but I was told by other
people that definitely they’re supporting me, in my corner,”
he said. “That’s good to know. I’m definitely still trying to
regain their trust and our front office’s trust, our team’s
trust, just to prove to them that they can count on me.”
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has met with Gordon,
who caught 50 passes and led the Browns with 805 yards
receiving and five touchdowns.
“Obviously I’m disappointed in the situation,” Chudzinski said. “It’s important that Josh understands what my
expectations are. I’ve talked to him about that. He understands accountability and I expect him to work and do
everything he can to be the very best player he can be in
the meantime and we’ll go from there.”
Gordon, who was twice suspended at Baylor for using
marijuana, said he has assured Chudzinski he has learned
from the experience.
“Accountability is a big issue,” he said. “We’re definitely
planning for the future. We’re looking forward to the things
we can do beyond this point. I can’t really sit back and just
think about the past and things that’s happened. We’re really looking forward to what we can do from here on out.”
Gordon was reminded he said something similar a year
ago, but stumbled. He was asked if he had to prove himself all over.
“I really don’t feel that way,” he said. “I’m still working
towards it but that’s something that’s in the past. I still
have a long way to go, a lot to prove to the fans here. This
is another obstacle in my way.”
This is the second straight year the Browns will be
missing a key player to open the season because of a suspension. Last year, star cornerback Joe Haden missed the
first four games for a drug violation and the Browns went
0-4 without him.

Phil Mickelson, left, and Tiger Woods walk off the 2nd tee at Pebble Beach Golf Links during the final round of the
2012 AT&amp;T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Golf Championship in Pebble Beach, California, on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012.

Lefty takes British Open
GULLANE, Scotland (AP) —
Phil Mickelson wondered if he’d
ever win this venerable trophy,
the one he proudly posed with on
Muirfield’s 18th hole as photographers snapped away and fans
chanted his name.
Raised on the lush, manicured
courses of America, Lefty crafted
a game that required one to look
toward the sky. Booming drives.
Soaring iron shots. Chips and
wedges that floated, then spun
improbably to a stop.
Beautiful to watch — except
when Mickelson was trying to
win the claret jug.
Links golf is played along the
ground, a version of the game he
fretted about ever mastering.
“It took me a while to figure it
out,” Mickelson said late Sunday,
another step closer to a career
Grand Slam. “It’s been the last
eight or nine years I’ve started to
play it more effectively. But even
then, it’s so different than what I
grew up playing. I always wondered if I would develop the skills
needed to win this championship.”
No need to fret about that
anymore. He’s the British Open
champion.
He did it with the greatest
round of his life.
Heck, it was one of the greatest
closing rounds by anyone in major championship history.
While crusty Muirfield took out
the other contenders — Down
goes Tiger Woods! Down goes
Lee Westwood! Down goes Adam
Scott! — Mickelson blazed to the
finish with a 5-under 66, matching
the lowest score of the week in the
pressure cooker of a final round.
Most impressively, he saved
his best shots for the end, making birdies on four of the last six
holes. The only challenge left was
not to celebrate while eight of his
rivals were still out on the course.
When Mickelson hit two ex-

quisite 3-woods at the par-5 17th,
the ball rolling onto the green for
what he knew would be, at worst, a
two-putt birdie, the championship
was his to lose. Not that he hasn’t
pulled defeat from the jaws of victory before — most infamously
in the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged
Foot. So there is still a bit of trepidation among the Phil-natics when
he strolled to the 18th tee.
This time, he was right on the
mark.
He drilled a hybrid down the
middle, then ripped a 6-iron perilously close to the edge of the
left bunker, the ball kicking right
just as he intended. It rolled to a
stop 10 feet behind the flag, and
he rolled in the last of his birdies
even though he didn’t need it.
Mickelson thrust his arms in
the air and let out a yell. His caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay, began
sobbing. Just off the green, his
wife Amy and their three children
waited to dole out some hugs.
“He works real hard and he
wants it,” Mackay said, explaining why the tears came so easily.
“He really, really wants it.”
Mickelson is 43 years old now,
closer to the end of his career than
the beginning, but he still has a
passion for the game and a desire
to tie up some of the loose ends.
This was one of them, something
to add to his three Masters wins
and a PGA Championship. Only
13 golfers have won more major
titles; only five of those have won
all four legs of the Grand Slam.
The last one eluding Mickelson
is the U.S. Open, a championship
where he’s been the runner-up
six times — most recently last
month at Merion.
“He’s resilient,” Mackay said.
“He looks forward.”
Most certainly, Mickelson
hasn’t given up on adding that
other Open to his resume. No
matter what, he’ll go down as one

of golf’s greatest players.
“The guy’s done a lot,” his caddie said. “He’s done a lot of really
cool things on the big stage.”
Mickelson began the final round
at Muirfield with a lot of ground
to make up. He trailed Westwood
by five shots, the 40-year-old Englishman never in a better position
to pick up his first major. Woods
was two shots behind, eager to
end the longest major drought
of his career. Masters champion
Scott was also in the mix, as well
as Hunter Mahan.
Westwood managed only one
birdie all day, his strong putting
touch finally undone by a bunch
of errant shots. Woods was happy
with the way he hit the ball, but
never figured out Muirfield’s
slick greens, which he insisted
got slower as the week went on.
Scott held the outright lead on the
back nine for the second Open in
a row, but was doomed again by
four straight bogeys.
“I let a great chance slip,” Scott
said. “Had I played a little more solid in the middle of that back nine, I
could’ve had a chance coming in.”
But this didn’t feel like Lytham,
where Scott threw away an almost-certain victory on the last
four holes and eventual winner
Ernie Els was almost apologetic.
Mickelson earned this title.
He described it as “probably
the best round of my career,” complete with “some of the best shots
that I’ve ever hit,” and threw in
that he “certainly putted better
than I’ve ever putted.”
Not a bad combination.
Playing five groups from the
end, Mickelson crept into contention on the front side as those
ahead of him began to falter. He
had a couple of two-putt birdies
on the par 5s, made par on everything else, and went to the back

Bowlsby

Lefty

From Page 6
NCAA Final Four at Cowboys Stadium next April.
Among items on Bowlsby’s agenda is a branding
initiative to build a national
identity for the 10-team
league known as the Big 12.
“One of the reasons
we’ve decided to go for-

ward with it is because we
wanted to put a stake in
the ground. We’re here for
the long haul … we have
members in perpetuity,”
Bowlsby said. “There isn’t
any belief that there are
decision-times coming up
where you have to decide
to be in the league or not
be in the league.”

That wasn’t necessarily the case when the Big
12 was planning a similar
branding campaign a couple
years ago before Bowlsby arrived. Then came talk about
Texas A&amp;M’s possible departure from the league, and
the Aggies then moving to
the SEC with Missouri.
While Bowlsby expects the

Big 12 to get stronger, that
doesn’t mean getting bigger.
Without being prompted, Bowlsby said he believes that the current
conference members consider 10 schools “as the
right number for us.” That
comes at a time when all
the other power conferences have 12-14 teams.

Buckeyes
From Page 6
ner were also disciplined on Monday.
“I have a clear set of core values in
place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of and
are expected to honor,” Meyer said in
a statement issued by Ohio State late
on Monday afternoon. “There are also
expectations with regard to behavior.
I expect our players to conduct themselves responsibly and appropriately
and they will be held accountable for
their actions.”
There were published reports earlier in the day that Hyde had been
kicked off the team for being listed
as a person of interest in the alleged
assault of a woman at a downtown
Columbus bar. The Columbus Dispatch cited sources saying Hyde was
dismissed from the team over the incident early Saturday.
Hyde, a 6-foot, 242-pound senior
from Naples, Fla., rushed for 970
yards on 185 carries last season, second best on the team behind quarterback Braxton Miller, and was the
unbeaten Buckeyes’ leading scorer
with 17 touchdowns and 102 points.
He came within just 30 yards of
becoming the first running back
to reach 1,000 yards in a season in
Meyer’s 12 years as a head coach at

Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and his
lone year at Ohio State.
Roby, one of the team’s top returning defensive players, was involved
in a separate incident.
Court records in Monroe County,
Ind., indicate Roby was arrested early Sunday morning in Bloomington,
Ind., and is facing preliminary charges of misdemeanor battery resulting
in bodily injury. He posted bond.
Roby, a 5-11, 192-pound redshirt
junior from Suwanee, Ga., was Ohio
State’s third-leading tackler last year.
He had two interceptions, one for a
touchdown, to go with two tackles for
minus yardage, one sack, one fumble
recovery and one blocked kick.
He had considered jumping into the
NFL draft after Ohio State’s 12-0 season but decided to return to the team.
Pending further investigations
of Roby’s actions, he could receive
more punishment from Meyer.
The Bloomington police report
charged that Roby tried to start a
fight with one patron of the bar and
was forced out of the bar. Hoping to
get back inside with his friends, he attempted to re-enter the bar and was
told he could not. The report states,
“Mr. Roby then struck one of the security guards in the chest, causing a
complaint of pain. He was then wres-

tled to the ground and detained until
police arrived at the scene.”
The two freshmen were considered promising prospects.
Baugh, like Hyde, was removed
from all team activities and will also
sit out the first game of the season,
Aug. 31 vs. Buffalo, for his arrest
last weekend for underage possession of alcohol and possessing a fake
identification. The Riverside, Calif.,
native’s actions will also result in the
loss of his financial aid this summer.
Gardner, from Indianapolis, was
sent home and will not be a part of
the 2013 team after he was charged
Saturday night by Columbus police
with obstruction of official business.
It was not immediately known if
he was linked to Hyde’s arrest or that
was yet another incident.
Ohio State athletic director Gene
Smith praised Meyer’s actions.
“Swift, effective and fair discipline
is the standard for our entire athletics program,” Smith said in the statement. “I applaud Coach Meyer for
his immediate actions.”
Meyer has faced questions in recent months after the arrest of one
of his former players at the University of Florida, former New England
Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez,
was arrested on murder charges.

side even for the tournament — a score he felt might be
good enough to win.
A bogey at the 10th, where Mickelson hit his second shot into a bunker and couldn’t get up-and-down,
briefly halted his momentum. But the best shots were
still to come.
At the par-3 13th, Mickelson knocked a 5-iron to 8 feet
and rolled in the putt. At the next hole, a 9-iron curled
up 18 feet from the flag and he made that. A par save at
the 16th — after the tee shot rolled back off the front of
the green — was crucial. When Mickelson went to the
tee box at the 17th, he was tied for the lead. By the time
he got to the green, 40 feet away after two swings of the
3-wood, the lead was all his.
“I believe this is the first year we’ve had electronic
scoreboards here at the British Open, and I was able to
see one right there on the 17th green,” he said with a grin.
Mickelson lagged his putt right up next to the hole and
tapped in for another birdie. The lead was two shots.
By the time he rolled in that last birdie, the engraver
was already etching Mickelson’s name on the claret jug,
even though the last four groups still had to finish.
The only possible challenger, Westwood, needed an
eagle at the 17th just to have a chance. But he was done
when his second shot sailed off into knee-high rough.
By then, Mickelson was accepting hugs and signing autographs. He’d already signed his card for a 3-under 281
— the only player to finish below par.
Henrik Stenson shot 70 and took the runner-up award
at 284. Ian Poulter shot an early 67 and thought he might
have a chance at 285. Instead, he wound up tied with
Scott (72) and Westwood (75).
Woods was among those another shot back after a 74,
his major drought still intact. The last of his 14 championships came at the 2008 U.S. Open; 21 majors have
passed since then without him pulling any closer to Jack
Nicklaus’ record of 18.
“I’m very pleased with the way I’m playing,” Woods
insisted. “I just never got the speed (of the greens) after
the first day.”
Mickelson was reluctant to let go of the claret jug now
that it’s finally in his grasp.
Not to worry.
It’s his for a whole year.
“This is probably the most fulfilling moment of my career,” Mickelson told the fans. “I’m very proud to be your
champion.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
July 23, 2013:
This year relationships take priority.
People seek you out even more than in
the past. The potential for an unusual
bond becomes possible. Friendship
will be critical to making this interaction work. You will gain tremendous
insights if you access the areas of
your mind that have been blocked off
until now. If you are single, it seems
as if there is always a better choice
just around the corner. Do not settle. If
you are attached, the two of you often
debate the pros and cons of an issue.
Remember that all fighting is about
separation. Count on AQUARIUS for
friendship.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH You might feel pulled in two
seemingly opposite directions. You will
wonder which way would be best to
go. If you can’t decide, you could do
the unexpected and end up surprising
yourself. Reactions come from your
immediate circle. Tonight: Where your
friends are.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HH Make it OK not to be rambunctious. Sometimes it is best to pursue
a leisurely pace at home. You might
want to think through some recent
events. You’ll gain unusual insight
when you investigate further. You will
go forward with a new understanding.
Tonight: Do your thing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You will want to stop
reacting for a while; instead, take an
overview of what’s happening around
you. Your perspective will change as a
result. How you handle several different situations could change, and others
might see a difference in you. Tonight:
Let your mind wander.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH You could be wondering
when you can make a statement of
importance. You’ll want to share your
thoughts with several different people
before the actual presentation. You
might opt not to do anything at all
after getting some intense feedback.
Tonight: Be with a favorite person.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Others seek your feedback.
Someone’s statement might cause
you to reconsider a personal matter.
Unexpected news also heads in your
direction. By blocking a particular way
of thinking, you could be preventing
yourself from heading in a new direction. Tonight: Follow a suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH You’ll approach a situation in
a new way, and you’ll be more than
ready for a positive change. You might
wonder what is going on with a partner.
Part of the issue could be that this
person continues to be unpredictable.
Tonight: Relax, and choose a favorite
pastime.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Your attitude could provoke
an unexpected reaction. Your playfulness will pull you in a new direction.
Honor a change of pace. You have the
ability to cruise through problems with
ease. Realize that someone is making
an effort to get your attention. Tonight:
Stay present.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Come from a place of
understanding, and recognize that others might not have the same values
system as you. Your ability to read
between the lines will be beneficial,
but it also will be important to confirm
exactly what you are seeing. Tonight:
Relax at home. Do not push.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Returning calls leads to
more calls. An unexpected development with a creative venture could provoke a lot of thinking and talking. You
easily could see the day fly by in an
instant. Think carefully about what you
plan to say to a loved one. Tonight:
Flex with the moment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH A family member or a domestic matter once more triggers you. You
might feel as if you have your hands
full. If you try to focus on other matters, you could find it difficult. Focus on
what ails you first. Your productivity will
increase, and you’ll feel better. Tonight:
Your treat.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH Your ability to flex is high.
Your sense of direction could change
radically because of forthcoming news,
and then again because of others’
reactions. You know what needs to be
handled. Follow-through counts when
dealing with a neighbor or sibling.
Tonight: Hang out.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HH You might prefer to be left alone
in order to work through an issue. A
financial instability could affect your
sense of direction. Honor news, and
make decisions once you are sure that
you have all the facts. Remain sensitive to a friend or loved one. Tonight:
Get some extra zzz’s.

W.Va. coaches to watch
for concussion signs
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — High school and
middle school coaches
in West Virginia will be
watching for signs of student athlete concussions
during the upcoming
school year.
The West Virginia Secondary School Activities
Commission is requiring
head coaches for all sports
to receive training on how
to recognize concussions
and how to deal with them.
The training isn’t limited
to coaches. The SSAC is
opening the course to anyone as part of an effort to
educate school communities about concussions.
SSAC executive director
Gary Ray tells the Charleston Daily Mail that football
is the focus of the effort.
But he says concussions
can occur in any sport.
The SSAC also plans to
collect monthly data on
concussions from every
school.
Oklahoma State
preseason Big 12
pick in media poll
IRVING, Texas (AP) —
Oklahoma State has been
picked as the favorite to
win the Big 12 title in a
preseason poll of media
members who cover the
league.
Six different teams got
first-place votes in the poll
released Thursday in advance of next week’s Big
12 football media days.
The Cowboys got 15
of the 43 first-place votes
and 365 points in the poll.
Oklahoma, which shared
last year’s Big 12 title with
Kansas State, was picked
second with eight firstplace votes and 355 points.
TCU was picked third
with nine first-place votes,
one more than Texas.
Baylor got two firstplace votes for fifth, ahead
of Kansas State, which got
the remaining first-place
vote. Texas Tech, West
Virginia, Iowa State and
Kansas round out the preseason poll.

Speedway making
security changes for
Brickyard
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Indianapolis Motor
Speedway officials say
they’re working on ways
to make sure fans for this
weekend’s Brickyard 400
don’t face the same long security lines that frustrated
many people at the Indianapolis 500 in May.
Heavier security imposed after the Boston
Marathon bombings angered thousands of Indy
500 fans who stood in line
for up to two hours. Some
fans reached the gates only
to be told that they had to
lug their coolers back to
their cars parked blocks
away because of new size
restrictions.
Track
officials
tell
WTHR-TV that details will
be released Monday about
security changes for this
Sunday’s NASCAR race.
Crowds for the Brickyard 400 should be smaller
and fans will have more
time to get inside with a
later race starting time.
Bengals release
G Travelle Wharton
CINCINNATI (AP) —
The Bengals have released
guard Travelle Wharton,
who tore up his right knee
during the first preseason
game last year and missed
the season.
Wharton signed with the
Bengals after spending eight
seasons at Carolina, where
he started 99 games at guard
and tackle. The Bengals installed him as their starting
left guard, but he hurt his
knee on the third play of the
preseason opener against
the Jets and needed surgery.
Clint Boling, a fourthround draft pick in 2011,
took over for Wharton and
started every game at left
guard, including a playoff
loss at Houston. The Bengals’ running game ranked
18th last season.
The Bengals have kept
their offensive line intact,
trying to reach the playoffs for a third straight
season, unprecedented in
franchise history.

49ers confirm Wright
fails physical
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— Cornerback Eric Wright
has failed his physical with
the San Francisco 49ers
and will return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
San Francisco coach Jim
Harbaugh declined to say
specifically what portion of
the physical Wright failed.
Wright was traded to
the 49ers on Friday in exchange for a conditional
draft pick in 2014, one
week after he was arrested in Los Angeles on an
unspecified misdemeanor
charge. Wright was also
suspended for four games
last season by the NFL
for violating the performance-enhancing
drug
policy in his first season
with the Bucs.
His rights now revert
back to Tampa Bay. A
second-round pick of the
Cleveland Browns in 2007,
Wright signed a five-year,
$35.3 million contract
with the Bucs prior to the
2012 season.
Longtime Michigan
equipment manager
retiring
ANN ARBOR, Mich.
(AP) — Michigan equipment manager Jon Falk is
retiring after four decades
with the athletic department and football program.
Falk’s retirement is effective at the end of this coming football season. Coach
Brady Hoke says Falk is
a big part of the program
and will be missed.
Falk is responsible for
the overall budgeting of

Jets sign QB Geno
Smith to 4-year deal
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets
signed quarterback Geno Smith, their second-round draft pick, on Monday to a fouryear contract that is worth about $5 million.
Smith, drafted 39th overall after an
unexpected slide out of the first round in
April, is competing with incumbent Mark
Sanchez for the starting quarterback job.
The signing was announced by the team,
which still has its two first-round picks —
cornerback Dee Milliner and defensive
lineman Sheldon Richardson — unsigned.
The Jets’ veteran players report for
training camp in Cortland, N.Y., on Thursday, but rookies were reporting Monday
at the team’s facility in Florham Park, N.J.
Smith and Sanchez are competing in
what has been called by team officials an
“open competition,” and neither noticeably outperformed the other in minicamp
last month. But both appear to be confident about their chances.
Sanchez, at his recent annual “Jets West”
camp in Southern California, said he “absolutely” expects to remain the Jets’ starting quarterback. Meanwhile, Smith — who
raised some eyebrows when he chose to not
attend Sanchez’s camp but said the quarterbacks are “cool” — told the Charleston
Gazette over the weekend that feels “like I
have a great shot” at winning the job.
The competition could go deep into
camp as both quarterbacks try to show
they have picked up and mastered offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg’s
West Coast-style system.
It has been a somewhat tumultuous
offseason for Smith, who set a slew of

records at West Virginia and established
himself as one of college football’s most
exciting players. He was projected as a
possible top-10 pick in the draft, but questions by some about his overall abilities
and commitment caused him to slide in
the draft. Smith was at the draft site at Radio City Music Hall, but went unselected
on the first day and appeared frustrated
and embarrassed at being passed over.
The Jets, wanting competition for Sanchez, jumped at the chance to bring in
Smith on the draft’s second day. Smith
fired his original agents shortly after the
draft, and signed with hip-hop artist JayZ’s new Roc Nation Sports to represent
him. The decision prompted the NFL Players Association to look into Jay-Z’s role in
getting Smith to sign with his agency, and
if the league’s “runner rule” was violated.
Agents not certified by the NFLPA
can’t recruit players to sign with certified
agents; Smith’s representative Kimberly
Miale is certified.
Smith later caused some confusion
when he responded with a “no comment”
when asked if he would attend Sanchez’s
camp. He later explained he hadn’t heard
of “Jets West” and didn’t understand what
he was being asked about. Sanchez said
everyone is always invited, but Smith
chose to work out on his own in Florida.
While it appeared to be a possible snub to
Sanchez, both insisted said there are “no
hard feelings” between the two.
Smith threw for 11,662 yards — including back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons —
with 98 touchdowns and only 21 interceptions in four years at West Virginia.

Browns’ Richardson healthy and practicing
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Trent Richardson’s second NFL season has already
started better than his first.
Richardson, who battled injuries
throughout his rookie year, reported to
training camp healthy and has already
been practicing with Cleveland’s rookies.
“Richardson has been full-go,” first-year
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Monday. “He’s been practicing these last few
days and looks good.”
That’s welcomed news for the Browns,
who are counting on Richardson to be at
full speed after he was kept out of spring
practices with a shin injury and played
most of last season with two broken ribs.
Despite not being close to 100 percent,
Richardson, the No. 3 overall draft pick in
2012, started 15 games and rushed for 950
yards and 11 touchdowns last season. He also
had 51 receptions for 367 yards and one TD.

Richardson’s injury problems carried
into the offseason. He was sidelined from
organized team activities in May by a
strained muscle in his right shin. The
Browns were overly cautious with Richardson, who promised he would be on the
field for the first day of training camp.
He reported over the weekend along
with other Cleveland players coming off
injuries and a few veterans.
Richardson missed all of the exhibition season last year while recovering from knee surgery, and while he did all he could to stay up
with his teammates off the field, the time away
forced the former Alabama star to learn Cleveland’s offense on the fly when he returned.
Richardson injured his ribs in the
Browns’ sixth game, but he continued to
play and did not reveal that his ribs were
broken until after the season. He missed
Cleveland’s finale with a sprained ankle.
