THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Hospital liquidation expected late summer BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Some contents of the old Veterans Memorial Hospital have been distributed to other county agencies, but other items are still slated for sale by the end of summer. County Commissioner Tom Anderson said Wednesday the commissioners have allocated some kitchen equipment to the Council on Aging and items of value to other county agencies. Commissioners had planned an August sale of salvage building materi- als, as well as other building contents, but Anderson said that sale will likely be held sometime next month. The 40 year-old building itself, opened in the early 1960’s, expanded in 1970 and closed in 2001. It has remained unused, except for as a storage facility for unwanted office furniture and other miscellaneous items for county agencies. The building has suffered significant water damage from a leaking roof and a decade of neglect. Commissioners have deemed it irreparable, and ultimately plan Meigs County Fair fun Office to close POMEROY — The legal division of the Clerk of Courts office will be closed Aug. 23 to allow staff to attend mandatory passport training.

British police didn’t fire a single shot. It’s part of a cherished culture of restraint that is now coming under unprecedented pressure, as Prime Minister David Cameron plans major reforms, slashes police budgets and humiliates homegrown talent by calling in American help. Since the early 19th Century, when legislator Robert Peel launched the world’s first modern police department in London, law enforcers in the U.K. have kept the peace by winning the respect of the public, not by instilling fear. They became a world-renowned icon of the capital — nicknamed “bobbies” in Peel’s honor. From the stereotype of a plump and cheerful village officer doffing a tall helmet, to the modern-day community beat teams who helped shopkeepers sweep broken glass from ravaged stores after last week’s riots, the country’s police have prided themselves on their courteous, low-key approach. Now sharp cuts to officer numbers driven by Britain’s austerity measures, sweeping reforms that threaten to inject politics into decision making, the fallout of England’s riots and harsh realities of protecting the public from threats like suicide bombers leaves the country’s fabled police in crisis. Capping the agony, Cameron has turned for advice to ex-Los Angeles, New York and Boston Police Chief William Bratton — dubbed “supercop” after his pioneering approach sent crime rates tumbling in those U.S. cities. “You are at a turning point,” said Maurice Punch, the author of several books on British policing. “What happened last week has just accelerated that, there is now a necessity to have a major review, to take a step back and for the public to ask what kind of policing they want.” Officers and analysts acknowledge the debate is urgent, with London’s 2012 Olympic Games looming. But, with relations between Britain’s public and its police under strain, there remain deep divisions and uncertainty about whether Britain’s cops are too hard or too soft. Police were chastened by the 2005 shooting death of an innocent Brazilian electrician, mistaken by police marksmen for a suicide bomber, and sharply criticized over the death of a bystander amid protests at a 2009 Group of 20 summit. Demonstrators who marched against a hike in college tuition fees, and antimonarchists who opposed April’s royal wedding, have both complained in recent months that officers have used excessive force in containing their protests. It meant that when disorder broke out in London on Aug. 6 — sparked by an initially peaceful protest over a rare fatal police shooting — the response appeared hesitant. Officers avoided confrontation as a demonstration in the Tottenham district of north London spiraled into widespread lawlessness, and it was three days before police chiefs flooded the streets of Britain’s capital with reinforcements. “The big question is, when you step back from it, how appropriate is the old paradigm?” said Punch, also a policing expert attached to the London School of Economics. Like the Police Federation, which represents about 125,000 rank and file police, he believes a Royal Commission — the most rigorous form of British government inquiry — is needed to plot a way forward. Unlike France and other European nations which have dedicated riot police, Britain relies on volunteer officers to abandon usual duties when disorder arises. Thousands of police from across Britain sped to London to help calm last week’s disorder — a tactic that will come under strain as budgets are cut. For Punch and others, one of the pressing issues is Britain’s rare use of weapons, still its most visible sign of policing restraint. In the Victorian era, London police had an armory of 5,000 swords, but the blades were kept blunted and officers warned they could be sacked if they drew the weapon. Of Britain’s current 144,000 police officers only 7,000 are authorized to carry a gun and The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 145-966) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

By comparison, almost all police officers in the United States carry a handgun, with many authorized to use more powerful weapons. Critics point out that criminals in Britain also rarely use firearms and that the country’s murder rate remains low, with 642 homicides last year. Government statistics also show violent crime falling. “If more officers were armed, there would have been shooting during last week’s riots — and it was ugly enough as it was,” said Clive Chamberlain, a police constable for 30 years and chairman of Dorset Police Federation. “Most officers believe that we have not reached that stage yet, but accept it is something that should be discussed.” Police departments in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Bristol and Gloucester — the main areas where riots broke out in England last week — confirmed to The Associated Press that no officers reported firing a weapon as they respond to the unrest last week. Yet political leaders have criticized police handling of the riots. “The tactics they were using weren’t working,” Cameron said last week. After a decade of expansion, Britain’s police will share the pain of Cameron’s deficitshredding program of 81 billion pounds ($132 billion) worth of spending cuts over the next four years. Timothy Brain, who was chief constable of Gloucestershire Police — which covers a vast swathe of western England — from 2001 until last year, has calculated that police will lose about 1.36 billion ($2.24 billion) in funding. He believes about 16,000 officers and a similar number of civilian support staff will lost their posts. Bratton told the AP last week that Cameron is convinced that the aftermath of the riots — and looming cuts — make radical reforms to police, and to wider British society, inevitable. “This is a prime minister who has a clear idea of what he wants to do,” Bratton said. “He sees this crisis as a way to bring change.” Page A4 Thursday, August 18, 2011 A big bounce, ounce by ounce, as gold takes off BY SARAH DILORENZO AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK — For what is normally a sleepy month, there are so many customers at the Gold Standard, a New York company that buys jewelry, that it feels like Christmas in August. Uncle Ben’s Pawn Shop in Cleveland has never seen a rush like this. Welcome to the new American gold rush. The price of gold is on a remarkable run, setting a record seemingly every other day. Stomach-churning volatility in the stock market this month has only made investors covet gold more. Some want it as a safe investment for turbulent times. What worries some investors is that many others are buying simply because the price is rising and they want to make money fast. “Is gold the next bubble?” asks Bill DiRocco, a golf company manager in Overland Park, Kan., who shifted 10 percent of his portfolio earlier this year into an investment fund that tracks the price of gold. He stopped buying because the price kept rising. In October 2007, it sold for about $740 an ounce. A little over a year later, it rose above $1,000 for the first time. This past March, it began rocketing up. On Wednesday, it traded at $1,795 an ounce, just shy of last week’s record of $1,801. Meanwhile, stocks, despite rising sharply in the last two and a half years, are only slightly higher in price than they were a decade ago. Since hitting a record high in October 2007, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index is down 23 percent. Gold hits a sweet spot among the elements: It’s rare, but not too rare. It’s chemically stable; all the gold ever mined is still around. And it can be divided into small amounts without losing its properties. Ultimately, though, gold is valuable because we all agree it is. It was used around the world as a currency for thousands of years, and then it gave value to paper currencies for a couple of hundred more. Now, in a time of turmoil, 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution from the credit downgrade and debate over raising the debt limit in the U.S. to the growing financial crisis in Europe to worries of slow growth across the globe, gold is dazzling investors. Since the financial crisis in 2008, central banks around the world have bought gold as a hedge against their foreign currency holdings. Earlier this month, South Korea announced it had bought gold for the first time in more than 10 years. Gold is “an effective hedge in a world where there is too much debt and uncertainty,” says Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust, which owns $2.8 billion of gold in a gold fund. The last time gold prices rose so precipitously was a few years after President Richard Nixon ended a decades-long fixed relationship between the value of the dollar and the value of gold. In those days, the price of gold was fixed at about $35 an ounce. And many foreign currencies were pegged to the dollar. Gold gave the dollar its value, and the dollar gave everything else value. Then the U.S. began running a trade deficit, and dollars piled up abroad. Central banks could redeem dollars for gold. But it was a poorly kept secret that the U.S. didn’t have enough gold to cash out every dollar in circulation. To head off a rush, Nixon “closed the gold window,” essentially saying that confidence in the U.S. government, not gold, gives the dollar its value. Gold and the dollar began to rise and fall freely, and gold earned its place as protection against the falling dollar when confidence lags. As inflation worsened later in the 1970s and dollars were worth less, the price of gold took off. Gold hit its high in 1980 — $850 an ounce, or more than $2,300 in today’s dollars. This time is different because gold is rallying against all currencies, not just the dollar, says Jim Grant, editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer. “Gold is the reciprocal of the world’s faith in the world’s central banks,” Grant says, and right now, “the world is in a pickle.” Gold prices will probably keep rising until the U.S. and Europe get their finances in order, he says — and Grant doesn’t expect that to happen soon. He predicts inflation, low for the moment, will soar, further eroding the value of the dollar and leaving only gold as a good investment. Cetin Ciner, a professor of finance at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, disagrees. He thinks gold is near a peak and people who buy now are blindly chasing the rising price. “I’m thinking of it as like the dot-com stocks,” Ciner says. Both Ciner and Grant caution, however, that when it comes to gold prices, no one really knows. That’s because gold doesn’t have intrinsic value. It doesn’t offer an interest rate, like a bond, or represent a share of a company, like a stock. It is inherently speculative as an investment: You only make money if the price goes up. Amy Robinette, who owns Gold Buying Girl, a network of 70 women in six states who throw parties for people to sell their gold jewelry, says her clients “don’t realize how much their gold is worth.” She gets a cut of the sales. “Once they sell, it kind of creates a frenzy,” says Robinette, who quit a career as a personnel recruiter to start the business two years ago. “They either want to find more or tell their friends and their friends start selling.” Sharlett Wilkinson Buckner, of Humble, Texas, recently took an old bracelet, ring and necklace to her local jeweler and walked out with $1,070. “I couldn’t wait for my husband to come home,” she said. “I fanned my money in front of him and said, ‘Look what I got for my gold.’” The next day, he sold an old gold necklace for $650. If Peter Hug is right, this frenzy for gold is likely to continue. The director of the precious metals division for Montreal-based Kitco, one of the largest dealers of precious metals, says gold is no longer “just for the crazy people” — Henny Pennys expecting the sky to fall.

The land could be used for a number of purposes once the building is torn down, commissioners say, including additional office space for county government or to expand health services to residents, although efforts to market the building itself for health care were unsuccessful. Last month, men began the removal of items that can be practically salvaged, such as the doors, stainless steel shelving, and heating and cooling equipment. Some of the cabinetry, Commissioner Tim Ihle said last month, could be salvaged, for example, and other furnishings can be repurposed and will likely be sold at public auction. Commissioners are now meeting around a table from the hospital’s board room. A plaque marking the completion of a 1970 addition, which was the last section of the building to close as an extended care facility, is now in commissioners’ office, and will be preserved in some fashion.

Airport body scanners in Ohio allow more modesty CLEVELAND (AP) — People flying out of some Ohio airports don’t have worry anymore about security personnel seeing images of them without their clothes on. The Transportation Security Administration has installed new technology in Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo that allows travelers to go through checkpoint security and have full-body scanners show a generic outline of the body instead of a naked image. TSA spokesman Jim Fotenos tells the local newspaper that the new software enhances passenger privacy. The newspaper reports that if a scanner detects an object on a person, the screen shows a yellow patch on the area of the body that should be patted down. The TSA says the new software should be installed in all 40 U.S. airports with the machines by the end of the year. Local Stocks AEP (NYSE) — 37.83 Akzo (NASDAQ) — 51.78 Ashland Inc.

The Browns quarterback got Favre’s assistance — and more than he could have dreamed. “He said, ‘Yeah, come down tonight,” McCoy said recalled Favre saying. “That didn’t happen.” But before he knew it, McCoy was on a plane flying to Mississippi to meet with Favre, who picked him up at the airport and then spent several days schooling Cleveland’s young quarterback on the intricacies of the West Coast offense, something the three-time NFL MVP mastered during 20 pro seasons. Following practice on Tuesday, McCoy described in detail the time he shared this summer with Favre, who seems to have finally retired for good after several is-he-or-isn’t-he seasons. McCoy said the pair of quarterbacks — the graying gunslinger and his eager-to-learn protégé — immersed themselves in nothing but football. “He’s an outstanding guy and I learned a lot, “ McCoy said, “so I was thankful for him being open to me even coming down there. It’s the first time we had met. It was a lot of fun.” OK, but the big question: Did Favre look ready for another comeback? “We didn’t even go there,” McCoy said, laughing. “We talked football. We stayed up late and worked out and he really helped me. For a guy who has played in some versions of the West Coast for 20 years, he’s a great resource to have and I appreciated him being willing to spend a couple of days with me and help me out with some things.” Because McCoy wasn’t permitted to have any contact during the lockout with first-year Browns coach Pat Shurmur or any of his assistants, he was look- JoePa: ʻLittle pain,ʼ expects to be on sideline STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Joe Paterno says he’s in a little pain after a blindside hit in practice sent him to the hospital, though Penn State’s 84year-old leader expects to coach from the sideline for the season opener. The Hall of Fame coach spoke from a golf cart before practice Tuesday, a week after being released from the hospital following the hit Aug. 7 from receiver Devon Smith. Paterno hurt his right shoulder and pelvis, though he said Tuesday he did not suffer any fractures. “I feel great, except I’m in a little pain,” said Paterno, who didn’t leave the cart for the first 30 minutes of practice open to media. “If I told you I could get up and around here ... I can’t, but in about eight or nine days I should be able to do everything without having some guy (driving) me around, telling me what to look at.” It was Paterno’s first appearance before reporters since the accidental collision at the Holuba Hall indoor practice field, not far from the spot where major college football’s winningest coach (401 victories) spoke Tuesday. His right arm was out of a sling. “We laughed about it the other day,” said Smith, the 5-foot-7 receiver who was running a corner route when he crashed into Paterno. “I apologized and he said, ‘It’s just football. That’s what it is.’” Paterno equally shrugged off a question Tuesday about what effect his latest injury might have on his coaching future — and he offered no hints that he was thinking about stepping away any time soon. While Paterno’s contract expires after this season, both the coach and university president Graham Spanier have said he doesn’t need something in writing to keep his job. “The day I wake up in the morning and say, ‘Hey, do I have to go to practice again,’ then I’ll know it’s time to get out,” he said. For now, he’s just itching to get out of the golf cart. There’s still so much to figure after last season’s disappointing 7-6 campaign. First and foremost, who will be the starting quarterback: Rob Bolden or Matt McGloin? Paterno, as expected, didn’t tip his hand. By all accounts, Bolden and McGloin are neck-andneck after splitting firstteam reps evenly in camp. Last year, Paterno didn’t settle on Bolden until the week of the season opener. Like political candidates on the campaign stump, Bolden and McGloin each made their respective cases to start this season after getting peppered with questions. After opening the season as a true freshman starter, Bolden hopes to rebound from a midseason slump, when he lost the job to McGloin. “Everything has to be precise,” Bolden said about the stiff competition with McGloin. “You can’t have two bad plays in a row.” Otherwise, both players say they’re friendly off the field. And that’s good, because Paterno likely won’t go the two-quarterback route. “Only one guy should touch the ball in my opinion. It’s more of a comfort thing,” McGloin said. “You don’t have to worry about Matt throws the ball this way and Rob throws it this way from the wideout standpoint.” BY JIM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is the last man standing between Terrelle Pryor and the NCAA version of yet another perfect crime. The ex-Ohio State quarterback wants the commissioner to pencil him in on the league’s supplemental draft list because, well, for no other apparent reason than Pryor is used to getting what he wants. And what he wants now is to play in the pros for real cash on Sundays, instead of the chump change, trinkets and discount tattoos he had to settle for playing Saturdays in Columbus, Ohio. We get that. Here’s hoping Goodell does, too, and that after postponing the supplemental draft scheduled for Wednesday to give Pryor’s case his full consideration, he says “no.” Whoever first said cheaters never prosper apparently didn’t follow college football. It happens all the time. Sometimes, as in Pryor’s case, it’s the players who game the system, load up on “improper” or “impermissible benefits,” and then flee to the pros before the NCAA enforcers can drop the velvet hammer on the schools they played for. That’s what reportedly happened at Miami — and not for the first time, either — where a jailed former booster used some of the proceeds from a $930 million Ponzi scheduled 2012 NFL draft. Not surprising, Pryor’s hyperactive uberagent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that would be a tragedy. Hearing him make a case for his client, you’d think Pryor accomplished everything at Ohio State short of solving world hunger. A quick sampling: “I’m a firm believer after 25 years of experience that Terrelle Pryor will be a great — not a good quarterback — a great quarterback in the National Football League. That he is going to be a star.” “I expect him to be a first-round pick in the supplemental draft. The league needs quarterbacks. Are you kidding me, the middle round for this guy?” “For anyone who questions his arm strength, gimme a break. They couldn’t hang onto his football.” Frankly, it’s hard to imagine that Rosenhaus believes much of that himself. Pryor was a pretty good quarterback at Ohio State, going 31-4 in three seasons and setting or tying a handful of school records in the process. But he’s got questionable arm strength and his best asset, an ability to run the ball, will only get him flattened in the pros. That’s why plenty of scouts project him as a receiver instead of a quarterback, and almost no club is likely to risk drafting Pryor until the third round — at the earliest. The history of the supplemental draft is such that most of the great players who came into the league through the side door, did so during the 1980s. Drafting has become such a science since those days that exactly one impact player — Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jamal Williams — has arrived in the league via that route over the past 20 years. Plus, Pryor is weighed down by questions about his character, a problem that Rosenhaus inadvertently hinted at during his infomercial. “In term of his work ethic, he’s going to get it in. He’s going to get coached up, he’s going to develop and he’s going to put on a show.” Ohio State, meanwhile, could be paying for Pryor’s development in Columbus for several years to come. Handing back trophies, taking down banners and deleting a few pages from the media guide won’t get the school’s attention, let alone the next kid tempted to cash in early on his pro potential. But the loss of scholarships could hamstring the Buckeyes long enough to get their attention. And a decision by Goodell forcing Pryor to spend another few months waiting for his reward will make the rule-breakers on both sides of the recruiting equation understand the arm of the law just got a little bit longer.

It may also explain why Cam Newton chose to wing passes for the Carolina Panthers this season instead of Auburn, which could still get stung because of the “pay-forplay” allegations Newton left in his wake and where, not coincidentally, perhaps, he had a season of eligibility left. Then again, it’s hard not to root for the kids in plenty of these cases, if only because everybody else involved in big-time college sports — the schools, their coaches, athletic departments and TV partners — is on the take. The NCAA didn’t need to invite Division I university presidents to a retreat last week to remind them the integrity of the sports and even the reputations of the schools they lead are threatened when a newspaper clipping service would have sufficed. After all, the same bunch has been ignoring calls for reform for three decades, largely because serving as the de facto minor league for the NFL has turned out to be a very lucrative business. Giving university presidents a nice hotel room and free meals for a few days is hardly inducement enough to make them listen now. Goodell, on the other hand, can make a statement by denying Pryor eligibility for the supplemental draft, forcing him to wait until the regularly �� ������� ����� ��� ������ ���� Come see us at the Breastfeeding and Diaper-Changing Booth during the Meigs County Fair! (740) 949-2683 you make here? And you see a pressure, what call can you make to adjust?’ Those are the things that we talked about. Same things I would ask a coach. But now that I’m here, and with coaches every day, we’re way past that. “But during that time, Brett was very helpful.” Shurmur, who brought the West Coast with him from St. Louis, where he had a good one-year run with Sam Bradford, said McCoy’s willingness to learn shows his maturity and growth as a leader. “I just think that speaks to what Colt is,” Shurmur said. “He puts two and two together. In an offense where you had a player that was tremendously successful, he took it upon himself to go see him and I think that’s great. I’ve got a lot of respect for Brett. I consider him a friend of sorts. “I’ve always followed him and admired what he’s done. First of all, I’m thankful that Brett would spend time with Goodell can make Pryor share tab for mess he left Meigs County WIC To schedule an appointment, call McCoy picked up several pointers from Favre, a player the former Texas star has admired since he first buckled his chin strap. “Nobody else is like Brett to me,” McCoy said. “I wore No. 4 in high school, so I’ve been watching him for a long time. He’s one of those guys that I think everybody’s watched. Guys that are my age, 23, 24 years old, when we were young, we were watching Brett, so it was awesome for me to be around him.” McCoy arrived in Mississippi with a list of questions. He wanted to absorb all he could during their time together. McCoy wanted to know about his footwork; about where to throw the ball if the primary receiver was covered; about audibles. Really, about everything. “He helped me on some things,” McCoy said. “I had the playbook and I had some tape. But you can go down and ask him, ‘OK, vs. this, what call do ing for help with the West Coast. McCoy was able to get a copy of Shurmur’s playbook during one-day break in the labor strife. But without anyone to explain it to him, McCoy needed help. The Xs and Os, the arrows, the terminology. It was like a foreign language to McCoy. Enter Favre, who knows the West Coast as well as anyone. Favre first learned the system in Green Bay under Browns president Mike Holmgren, who coached the Packers from 1992-98. McCoy that figured if Favre was available, it would be a waste not to ask the master. “I was at home and I’ve always liked watching Brett play and some of the stuff (plays) we had from Green Bay was him and it just occurred to me, why not call and see what he’s doing?” McCoy said. “I had no idea, I just took a shot. And we ended up getting together and spending a couple of days. It was fun.” 112 E.

Thursday, August 18, 2011 Blue Devils top Logan in dual BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM LOGAN, Ohio — The Gallia Academy golf team improved its season record to 33-0 on Tuesday afternoon following a 17-stroke victory over host Logan in a dual at Brass Ring Country Club in Hocking County. The Blue Devils recorded four of the top five individual scores on the day en route to posting a winning team tally of 156, finishing well ahead of the Chieftains’ total of 173. GAHS also had an SMITH ARTHUR individual come away with medalist honors for the sixth time in as many matches this season. Senior Corey Arthur joined Logan’s Kris Cummings as co-medalist on the day with matching low rounds of 37, which is 1-over par at the Brass Ring course. Arthur joined Rob Canady (once) and Nick Saunders (four times) as medalists for Gallia Academy this season. Boeing Smith was next for the Blue Devils with a 38, followed by Canady and Saunders with respective efforts of 39 and 42. Daniel Rees and Derrick Gilmore also shot rounds of 47 and 50 for the victorious Blue and White. Arthur and Canady both made 14 putts over nine holes of play and each also recorded an eagle on the opening hole of the day. After Cummings, Logan received an effort of 43 from Logan Holbrook, followed by Taylor Reichling with 46 and Jordan Fizer with a 47. Caleb Cummings added a 54 for the hosts, while Jacob Berry did not post a final score after withdrawling from the dual. GAHS coach Corey Luce was, once again, pleased with the performance given by his players — particularly in the fact that Brass Ring is fairly unfamiliar to the Blue Devil linksters. “Corey put together a great round today. Shooting a 37 on a very tricky course that he has never seen before is quite a feat,” Luce said. “Our guys played well, and I’m proud of their efforts. We just need to stay focused and play to the best of our abilities.” The day was also extra beneficial for the Blue Devils, as Brady Curry, Bruce Moreaux, Brian Knott, Logan Rosier and Sean Saltzgaber competed at the event as a junior varsity squad. Their scores didn’t count in the match, but they did gain some valuable experience playing on an unfamiliar course.

(AP) — The Miami Hurricanes’ entire football team took the practice field Wednesday amid mounting allegations by a former booster and convicted Ponzi schemer who claimed he treated players with sex parties, nightclub outings, cars and other gifts. Nevin Shapiro told Yahoo! Sports he provided extra benefits to 72 football players and other athletes at Miami from 2002 to 2010. His claims involve several current players, but coach Al Golden said it was too soon to take disciplinary action. The Hurricanes open their season Sept. 5 against Maryland. “Everybody is practicing,” Golden said as his team took the field for a morning workout. “If it is determined somebody broke rules, then certainly they’ll be first dealt with. ... As we get ready for Maryland, hopefully we’ll swiftly learn if errors were made. If there are guys that are going to have to sit out games, we’ll adjust our practice accordingly.” Players weren’t permitted to speak with the media. NCAA investigators were on campus this week to address Shapiro’s allegations. Golden, who is in his first season as coach, said he’s eager to obtain answers quickly, in part so his players don’t repeat past mistakes. Shapiro was sentenced in June to 20 years in prison for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, plus ordered to pay more than $82 million in restitution to investors. “If they were exposed to Mr. Shapiro, clearly we have to make sure we prevent that going forward,” Golden said. “You do that by getting to the facts. How did this guy, if he did, get around our players like that? As a head coach, I want to know. I know our assistant coaches want to know. We want to make sure it never happens again. It shouldn’t happen.” Shapiro’s allegations threaten to bring down a program with a legacy dotted by scandals — but none quite like this. Yahoo! Sports published its story Tuesday afternoon, saying it spent 100 hours interviewing Shapiro over the span of 11 months and audited thousands of pages of financial and business records to examine his claims. “I did it because I could,” Shapiro said of his spending. “And because nobody stepped in to stop me.” Shapiro began making his allegations about a year ago. Golden joined the Hurricanes in December after Randy Shannon was fired. Shawn Eichorst was hired as athletic director in April to replace Kirby Hocutt, who resigned to become athletic director at Texas Tech. Golden said when he interviewed for the job, Miami officials did not tell him about Shapiro’s allegations. “If they knew this was percolating, I believe they did have a responsibility to tell me,” Golden said. “I believe they have a responsibility to tell Shawn. But look, I’m happy here. My wife is happy here. We have great kids on this team. ... “I want to make sure we get it right. As quickly as we can get to the bottom of whatever happened, then we can move forward. The only way to do that is to cooperate with the NCAA and get the truth.” Current Miami players named by Shapiro as receiving benefits included quarterback Jacory Harris, Ray Ray Armstrong, Travis Benjamin, Sean Spence, Marcus Forston, Vaughn Telemaque, Dyron Dye, Aldarius Johnson and Olivier Vernon. Former Hurricanes quarterback Robert Marve, now at Purdue, also was named by Shapiro, Yahoo! Sports said. posted a 50 to account for Ripley’s final total of 186. Point Pleasant and Wahama will meet for the third time this week when both teams travel to Green Hills Golf Course to face Ravenswood in a trimatch on Thursday, August 18. Tornadoes earn first win of season BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM POMEROY, Ohio — The Southern golf team picked up its first win of the 2011 season on Tuesday with a 20 stroke victory over visiting Federal Hocking at Kountry Hills Golf Course. The Torndoes defeated Federal Hocking by a final total of 195-215. This was also the first league win of the season for Southern. Southern played only four players in the match, meaning all four scores counted toward the team total. The Tornadoes were led by medalist Adam Pape with a four over par round of 38.

Fickell mulling his running back options COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Terrelle Pryor’s replacement as the starting quarterback at Ohio State is the No. 1 question of fall camp. But a close second? How about this: Who will he hand the ball to? The role of tailback could be even greater in the absence of Pryor, who left after his junior season amid a suspension for NCAA violations, because the Buckeyes might rely heavily early on the running game to protect their relatively inexperienced signal callers. Come midseason, the Buckeyes should be all set. In October, senior Daniel Herron, who is among the four players serving a five-game, NCAA-mandated suspension to start the year, will be back. He had 216 carries, 1,196 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2010. Until Herron’s return, the Buckeyes will lean on junior Jordan Hall (37 carries, 169 yards, two scores last season), sophomores Jaamal Berry (32-367-1) and Carlos Hyde (24-115), as well as redshirt freshman Rod Smith. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
