Results are as follows: Western Showmanship - Shelby Pickens and Danielle Icenhower, senior grand and reserve champions, respectively; Lydia Edwards and Sara Schenkelberg, junior grand and reserve champions, respectively; Hannah Parsons and Katie Keller, novice grand and reserve champions, respectively. Gymkhana See 4-H Showcase, A3 Shannon Brown (right) and LeDeana Sinclair were named senior grand and junior grand champions, respectively, in the Gymkhana Division at the Junior Fair Horse Show. (Shelly Sinclair/photo) POMEROY — The trial of a Long Bottom man accused of cultivating marijuana, set to begin Tuesday, has been continued until mid-October. Thomas Fitch, Long Bottom, was to have his day or days in court this week, but Judge James Luce continued his trial in an entry dated yesterday. The continuance was requested by Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams, who has been on vacation and said in her motion she was not prepared to proceed at trial because of Luce’s ruling on a motion to suppress evidence Fitch filed last month. Luce ruled on that motion last week. Attorney Charles Knight challenged the state’s right to allow the evidence to be presented in Fitch’s trial, including plants, tools and other See Trial, A3 Man injured in another rooftop electrical accident BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE — Another rooftop repair job gone bad sent a Racine man to the hospital for electrical shock. Ricky Miller, Racine, was working on the roof of a storage building on Morning Star Road when he apparently struck an electrical line with a piece of aluminum trim material, Sheriff Robert Beegle said. The building was owned by James Smith. Others were working on the scene but Miller was alone on the roof at the time of the accident, Beegle said. Miller was transported to Cabell-Huntington Hospital, Huntington, W.Va., for internal injuries and external burns. One man died and another was sent to the same hospital last week after they received electrical shocks while working on repairs at a Middleport business. They were installing gutters and struck a live wire, as well. Electrical service was interrputed in an isolated area in Sutton Township for several hours. �Tuesday, August 23, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Livestock From Page A1 Jonathan Barrett, g.c., $3,000, Ridenour Gas Service; Jenna Burdette, $2,100, McDonald’s of Pomeroy; Ryan Parsons, $1,400, Diamond Stone; Alexis Ervin, $1,200, Holzer Clinic; Rebecca Pullins, $1,600, Ridenour Gas Service; Baylee Tyree, $1,100, Parker Corporation; Samuel Collins, $1,300, RC Construction Company & Son, Inc.; Hannah Hawley, $1,500, Shelly Materials; Nicole Moodispaugh, $1,600, Farmers Bank; Katie Keller, $1,700, River Rose OBGYN; Mallory Nicodemus, $1,500, Herald Service Company; Austin Life, $1,200, Mark Porter GM Supercenter; Dylan Milam, $1,200, Tattm’s Feed & Seed; Cassidy Cleland, $1,500, Irvines Camper Sales; Jesse Woodyard, $1,000, Ridenour Gas Service; Elizabeth Collins, $1,200, Diamond Stone; Tucker Smith, $1,500, Window Dresser; Andrea McGrath, $1,300, Randy Moore BP; Austin Ross, $1,000, Seaman’s General Merchandise; Breanna Hayman, $1,450, Parker Corporation; Ally Hendrix, $1,600, Kinsale Corporation; Raymond Lawson, $1,100, Farmers Bank; Caitlyn Holter, $1,000, Diamond Stone; Colton Lilly, $1,300 Holzer Clinic; Michael Kesterson, $1,100, Farmers Bank; Megan Ross, $1,000, Diamond Stone; Lacey Hupp, $1,300, Home National Bank; Jessica Cook, $1,100, AEP Phillip Sporn Plant; Ross Keller, $2,000, Diamond Stone; Charles Bret Cleland, $1,500, Gheen’s Rentals; Brayden Ervin, $1,400, O’Bleness Memorial Hospital; Allison Hatfield, $1,450, Allpower; Faith Bauerbach, $1,500, Green Valley Co Op; Justin Cotterill, $1,800, Birchfield Funeral Home/Rutland Department Store, Reed & Baur Insurance; Timothy Elam, $1,400, Baum True Value Lumber Company.

Knight asserted the 203 plants, tools and other items were seized illegally and not on Fitch’s property to begin with, and asked that the items be suppressed as evidence. Although a search warrant was issued, Luce ruled no search warrant was required to seize the plants and other items because they were in open view. According to Luce, in his entry filed Tuesday in Meigs County Common Pleas Court, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation observed growing marijuana near Fitch’s residence, and a search warrant was signed to seize the 203 plants and tools on Aug. 27, 2009. Instead, Luce said, the state will have to prove Fitch was cultivating the plants, regardless of whose property they were located on. Fitch has remained free on bond pending his trial, which has been continued to Oct. 18. Luce ruled in his entry there would be no more continuances granted in the case. Sunday, Aug. 28 POMEROY – Mt.

(AP) — A free-trade agreement between the United States and other countries around the Pacific Ocean might not seem like an obvious topic of discussion inside Vermont’s Statehouse. But in Montpelier and other state capitals, there’s growing concern that such agreements could undermine states’ authority in a host of areas, including regulation of important local industries, negotiations over health care costs and control over public utilities like water supplies. Those watching the interplay of state laws and the provisions of international trade agreements acknowledge that some of their worries are speculative. Actual legal challenges, in which governments or corporations have brought complaints about government regulation to tribunals set up to resolve disputes under the trade deals, have been small in number. But Vermont and other states should be vigilant, said Robin Lunge, a former staffer with the Vermont Commission on International Trade and State Sovereignty who now directs health reform efforts for Gov. Peter Shumlin. “If it’s not important today, it could be vitally important tomorrow,” she said. “If you don’t pay attention today, you won’t know until you run into trouble.” The system of negotiating international trade agreements makes it tough for state officials to monitor or affect the terms of the deals, said a report last year by the state of Maine . It focused on the possible effects of international trade provisions on the state’s efforts to regulate groundwater withdrawals for bottled water. In Maine, the bottled water industry includes Poland Spring, one of the nation’s top-selling brands. “The negotiating process lacks transparency and precludes states from any meaningful participation in the negotiations even though the agreements have significant potential impact on state regulatory authority,” the report said. If the companies lose their case in U.S. courts, “the argument that PMI is using against Singapore could be turned right around and used against the FDA’s implementation of its authority,” Stumberg said. BY TOM COYNE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — The skies to the west grew darker as Dr. Rob Klinestiver and his 12year-old daughter waited for country stars Sugarland to take the stage at the Indiana State Fair. Klinestiver pointed to the scaffolding supporting the stage’s roof, lights and other equipment. “Hey, you know, there’s a small chance that if it gets really nasty that thing could even blow over,” he told his daughter, Leah. “Dad, you’re kind of freaking me out,” she replied. He reassured her quickly: “I said, ‘Oh, never mind. It’s a small chance.’” Moments later, a wind gust of 60 to 70 mph brought down the scaffolding. Happy chatter turned into screams of terror as thousands of pounds of metal and equipment tumbled into the crowd below. Four people died immediately. A fifth passed away hours later at a hospital, and a sixth died Friday. Dozens more were injured, some so severely it will take months for them to recover — if they ever do. As Indiana investigates whether the deaths and injuries could have been prevented, the survivors remain haunted by the sounds and images of that night. Many are still grappling with the capricious nature of the collapse, where mere inches determined who lived and who died. Klinestiver, a big Sugarland fan, was excited to be in the Sugar Pit, a VIP section that promised to bring him within feet of lead singer Jennifer Nettles. He and Leah had taken up spots in the front row, Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Department extensions are: Page A4 while his wife, Laura, and their 11-year-old daughter, Elise, were in the 11th row of the seated section. Klinestiver didn’t want to lose the prime spots, and when the weather began changing, he started preparing Leah to get wet. Weary of standing, Leah plopped down on wooden stairs leading up to the stage. A 3year-old girl with a pink tutu sidled up to her, the fringe from the tutu rubbing against Leah’s face. “Isn’t she cute?” Leah asked her father. An announcer took the stage, told the crowd bad weather was moving and gave instructions in case an evacuation became necessary. But the announcer also said he hoped Sugarland would be out soon, and the crowd cheered. Minutes later, a blue tarp on the stage roof broke loose as the winds picked up. Klinestiver called, “Let’s go!” and began pushing Leah away from the stage. That swift reaction likely saved their lives. The stage missed Klinestiver by 2 feet. “I feel like if I hesitated another second, I wouldn’t be here,” he said. “I feel incredibly lucky.” The girl in the pink tutu, 3-year-old Maggie Mullin, knew the words to Sugarland’s songs and had begged to see the band. “This was better than anything I took her to. I took her to Disney World last summer, and this trumped Disney World,” said her mother, Laura Magdziarz of Morocco, Ind., about 70 miles south of Chicago. They were still in the Sugar Pit when Magdziarz looked over her shoulder and saw the stage sway. “I grabbed Maggie and just started running,” she said. Karen Brunn of Island Lake, Ill., also was in the front row. It was her 35th Sugarland concert, and she brought her 12year-old son, Josh. The gust of wind “came out of nowhere,” people started yelling, “‘Get down! Get down!’” and things started flying on the stage, she said. “I remember looking up at the lights and thinking, ‘Oh, that’s going to fall,’” Brunn said. “We better get out of here,” she told her son. They didn’t make it far. The Sugar Pit had become a morass of twisted metal and broken bodies. Chaos was everywhere, and terrified cries for help came from people trapped under the metal structure. “What I think is so amazing is we were able to turn a wrong-place, wrong-time situation into a right-place, right-time rescue,” she said. Klinestiver’s first thought was, “‘Am I alive?” He told Leah to find some of the women who had been standing near them and have them contact her mother to say they were safe. Then he went to help. Natalie Prater, a pediatric nurse, climbed through the wreckage and found Maggie, sitting on her mother’s lap and bleeding profusely from an arm wound. “I need a tourniquet!” Prater yelled. Someone threw her a shirt, and she tied it around the child’s arm. “Her mom kept telling me I had to get her out of there. I kept telling the mother she had to trust me. I would make sure she was safe,” she said. Prater handed Maggie to a man, who handed her to someone else in a kind of bucket brigade. 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 Eventually, she was passed to Klinestiver, who tried to stanch the bleeding and get her out of the grandstand. But the twisted wreckage was a maze, and he could only get so far. He handed Maggie through a gap to another man, then followed. An off-duty state police officer came up and took Maggie as Klinestiver ran alongside, trying to keep pressure on her wound until they got her to a triage area. He handed her off to medical personnel and went back to help others. He came across Nathan Byrd, a 51-yearold stagehand from Indianapolis who was above the stage aiming spotlights when the scaffolding collapsed. “I was afraid he probably wouldn’t make it,” Klinestiver said. “But we were hopeful.” Byrd died early the next morning at an Indianapolis hospital. His funeral was Thursday. Brunn doesn’t remember anything from the time she told her son to leave until she woke up in the triage area with a gash on her head and some broken ribs. “I knew she was still dazed because she wasn’t asking where her son was,” said Connie Hoagland, a friend from Champaign, Ill., who escaped injury by seeking shelter against a wall near the stage. Josh was taken to an Indianapolis children’s hospital, his leg broken in several places. He and his mother both face lengthy recoveries. Hoagland was holding Brunn’s head as medical workers tried to revive a woman nearby. She heard one say, “She’s done,” and they quickly covered the body. She couldn’t see who the woman was. “I was scared to death it was the friend that I had brought to the concert,” Hoagland said. She went back later and looked closely at the shoes the woman was wearing to make sure it wasn’t her friend, who she eventually found safe. The enormity of what happened that night is still sinking in for many caught in the stage’s path. Klinestiver doesn’t know what happened to a woman he helped rescue from under a girder or another who needed to be intubated. His wife didn’t know for 30 minutes whether he and Leah had survived because cell phone communications were so poor that a text message telling her they were safe didn’t go through immediately. “She saw it go down, and she knew we were in the front row and she really thought she lost a husband and or a daughter,” he said. Magdziarz, who faces a long recovery from leg injuries, said she has no words for her gratitude to those who helped rescue Maggie, who has been released from the hospital. “If there had been a delay in getting her out of there, I don’t think she would have made it,” she said. “She made a lot of friends along the way.” Prater, a 24-year-old with two years of nursing experience, said she was glad she was there. “What I think is so amazing is we were able to turn a wrong-place, wrong-time situation into a right-place, righttime rescue,” she said. “... It didn’t matter if you were a nurse, doctor or paramedic or whatever. Human instincts took over and we were able to help each other.” Associated Press writer Dan Sewell in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

Carder makes small stuffed bears that are donated to the Holzer Clinic/Holzer Medical Center to be given to children who come to the emergency room, are having surgery or are admitted to the hospital. The bears are also given to the Meigs County Health Department and Holzer Clinic, Meigs Branch, to be given to children receiving immunizations. Carder also makes hand-made scarves that are given to children who attend HeadStart in Pomeroy and Tuppers Plains at Christmastime. From March 2010 and March 2011, Carder reported 603 hours of volunteer service to the RSVP program. The AEP Connects program recognizes the commitment of AEP employees and retirees to their communities and support causes that are important to them, according to Michael G. Morris, chairman, president and chief executive officer. More than 900 grants were made last year representing more than 108,000 volunteer hours donated by AEP employees, retirees and their families. “Although no monetary grant can compare to the value of time our employees and retirees give to worthwhile causes, the $150 grants made by this program in the names of AEP volunteers help schools and non-profit organizations meet the challenges of fulfilling important human needs,” said Morris. (Submitted Photo) A basket of bears made by AEP employee Debra Carder, right, is presented to Diana Coates, Meigs RSVP director, to be distributed to children in distress. AEP Connects made a contribution to contribution to further the RSVP program. “Meigs RSVP appreciates the grant money from AEP and thanks Debra (Carder) for her volunteer service,” commented Diana Coates, RSVP Director, Meigs County Council on Aging.

Others observe you more than you realize. Keep your focus on your job and commitments involving your community and your parents. If you are single, someone you meet late spring onward could knock your socks off! If you are attached, the two of you need to be more visible. GEMINI puts you on a pedestal. 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) ++++ Suddenly you become even more serious about work. Perhaps the cooler nights are having an impact on you. You feel better because you are more in the mood to deal with details. A partner respects your approach; he or she knows you are mentally prepared to tackle an issue. Tonight: Working late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) +++ Know how much you can spend. Focus on your budget, and turn a situation around once and for all. In some way, you might feel grumpy or touchy because of this financial awareness. Let it go and just do. Tonight: Pay bills first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ++++ Your spirit soars. You know exactly what you want. Rather than overanalyze, go off and get just that. Others are highly responsive, except perhaps for a child or new friend. What is ailing this person has nothing to do with you. Tonight: Beam in exactly what you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) +++ Back off for a while, especially if you are reviewing a situation over and over in your mind. Listen to your sixth sense when dealing with a vulnerability. Could you be making a big deal out of nothing? Know what you desire. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Zero in on what is important. Don’t over-intellectualize. You naturally say the right words to whomever you speak to. A meeting could point to a new friendship. Worry less about what is happening. Tonight: Hang with friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Be willing to take a stand with a boss or someone you care about. You need not be so worried HOROSCOPE about your first impression. Say “no” to a financial commitment that makes you uptight. Listen to your inner voice. Tonight: A must show. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ You are unusually serious once more. Detach and look past the immediate. Then and only then can you see the big picture. Understand what someone is looking for. Take your time rethinking a situation. Know what you want. Tonight: Do a vanishing act. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++++ Take your time making a decision. Zero in on a friendship that means a lot to you. A meeting could be very important, playing a role in creating what you want. Remain supportive of key friends, even if they want to head down a different path. Tonight: Where the action is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Understand the dynamics between you and key people. Right now, you might feel as if you are playing sidekick, but this is only a phase. Try letting go of a need to control, and just go along for the ride. Excitement hops in the back seat. Tonight: Let someone entice you to join him or her. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You might want to revise your plans with an eye to settling a situation that a boss or you are highly concerned about. Be careful with an overly serious person. He or she easily could misunderstand a comment. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Let someone know just how much you care. Indulge those you love. Though you might not think you have time for so much attention, you will feel better as a result. Reach out to someone at a distance who you care about. Tonight: Let your hair down. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ You might want to stay close to home right now. If you can, get to the bottom of a problem through a discussion. Do help someone who feels uptight or who has a difficult time verbalizing him- or herself. A discussion could help both of you feel better. Tonight: Enjoy company and dinner.

Oklahoma No. 1 in AP Top 25 NEW YORK (AP) — Being voted preseason No. 1 is a tradition at Oklahoma, and this season is no different. The Sooners will start out top-ranked in The Associated Press college football poll for the 10th time, more than any program in the country. The defending Big 12 champions received 36 of 60 first-place votes and 1,464 points in the Top 25 released Saturday. Auburn, last season’s national champion, will start the season No. 23, one spot behind where it began in 2010. If the rankings are any indication, the national title race could be a scramble. No. 2 Alabama, one of a record eight Southeastern Conference teams in the preseason poll, wasn’t far behind OU, receiving 17 firstplace votes and 1,439 points. No. 3 Oregon got four first-place votes, No. 4 LSU received one and No. 5 Boise State got two. Florida State was No. 6, the Seminoles’ best preseason ranking since starting the 2004 season at No. 5. Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck and Stanford were No. 7, matching the best preseason ranking for the Cardinal since 1950, the year of the first AP preseason poll. Rounding out the top 10 are Oklahoma’s Big 12 rivals, Texas A&M (No. 8) and Oklahoma State (No. 9), and Nebraska (No. 10), in its first season in the Big Ten after leaving the Big 12. No. 16 Notre Dame is ranked for the first time since early November 2009. As for Oklahoma, no matter where it lands in the preseason, it always expects to make a run at a national championship in the end. It hasn’t won it all, however, since 2000. That’s when coach Bob Stoops led the Sooners to their seventh AP national title in his second season in Norman. Since then, Oklahoma has lost three BCS championship games. The Sooners have won the AP national title four times when they were preseason No. 1 (1956, 1974, 1975 and 1985). The last time they started a season top-ranked was 2003. That season, they lost the BCS championship game to LSU. “We’re very matter of fact,” Stoops said this week. “All we think about is doing the work. “We’re also very aware we’re not much different than about 12, 15 other teams that’ll be competing for it that have legitimate chances to win it. What are we going to do differently to separate ourselves?” Having the combination of quarterback Landry Jones and receiver Ryan Broyles is a good place to start. Jones passed for 4,718 yards and 38 touchdowns last season, his second as a starter, and Broyles was his favorite target. The senior had 131 catches for 1,622 yards and 14 touchdowns. Jones was forced into a starting role two years ago as a redshirt freshman when Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford went down with a shoulder injury. That was a tough season for the Sooners, who started ranked third but finished it 8-5. Bradford was one of several key players Oklahoma lost to an injury that season, and Jones wasn’t the only underclassman who played a bigger role than expected. “Now two years from that they have benefited from the maturity and the experience gained from being on the field at an early age,” Stoops said. “Our (offensive) line was young and now two years later they’ve got experience and some maturity to them. Same with Landry Jones. Same with Ryan Broyles.” Earlier this month, Sooners fans must have had flashbacks to Bradford’s injury when linebacker and leading tackler Travis Lewis hurt his left foot in practice. He likely will miss at least the first four games, including a road trip to Florida State on Sept. 17. “It’s a big blow to us, there is no denying it,” Stoops said. Oklahoma has also been coping with the death of linebacker Austin Box, a would-be starter who overdosed on prescription painkillers in May. “He’s very close to so many guys and ... it wouldn’t be right to brush it to the side,” defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. “We’re trying to move forward and deal with it as best we can.” The SEC has won five straight BCS title games and has plenty of candidates to make it six. “We want to come out and win a national championship, to be undefeated,” Alabama safety Mark Barron said. “Every time we step out on the field, one of our motivating factors is to be special.” South Carolina (No. 12), Arkansas (No. 15), Georgia (No. 19), Mississippi State (No. 20) and Florida (No. 22) give the SEC more teams in the preseason poll than any previous conference. In fact, the SEC West alone has more teams than any other confer- ence. The Big Ten placed four teams in the rankings. Joining Nebraska are Wisconsin (No. 11), Michigan State (No. 17) and Ohio St. (No. 18). With No. 21 Missouri, the Big 12 had four teams, too. The Pac-12 had three teams, with No. 25 Southern California joining Oregon and Stanford. The Atlantic Coast Conference placed two teams (Florida State and No. 13 Virginia Tech), as did the Mountain West Conference (Boise State and No. 14 TCU) The Big East, which finished last season with no ranked teams, had one team in the preseason poll, No. 24 West Virginia. Notable by its absence is Texas. Coming off a 57 season, the Longhorns are missing from the preseason Top 25 for the first time since 1998. For now, ranked or not, every team is chasing Oklahoma. “Who doesn’t want to be No. 1?” Sooners cornerback Jamell Flemming said. Packers look to shore up line, lower sack totals GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers went into training camp focused on doing a better job of protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The early returns have not been encouraging. Having allowed nine sacks through two preseason games, the team’s protection problems are deeper than simply deciding whether to start veteran T.J. Lang or rookie first-round pick Derek Sherrod at left guard. In the team’s 28-20 preseason victory over Arizona on Friday, Packers quarterbacks were sacked four times: Rodgers twice, and backup Matt Flynn twice. Against Cleveland in the preseason opener, Rodgers emerged unscathed while Flynn (twice) and No. 3 quarterback Graham Harrell (three times) were the victims. Against the Cardinals, Rodgers was sacked twice during the No. 1 offense’s second series. Later, Flynn took over for Rodgers and was immediately greeted by a sack as O’Brien Schofield blew past Lang (who was at left tackle at the time) to push the pocket right into defensive tackle Dan Williams. Schofield later drilled Flynn on a third-and-16 play when rookie running back Alex Green failed to pick him up on a blitz. Schofield finally got his sack on a third-and-13 play late in the third quarter, when he went past Sherrod at left tackle and stripped Flynn. As a team, the Packers have given up 123 sacks over the last three seasons, an average of 41 per year. In the five years before Rodgers took over, Brett Favre and his backups absorbed an average of 20.6 per year. While Rodgers’ ability to extend plays with his feet is a factor in the increased number of sacks, his sack numbers (34 in 2008, a league-high 50 in 2009 and 31 last year) are still too high, offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said. “If you look at our offensive production since (Rodgers) has become the quarterback, the one thing that doesn’t fit what we’re all about is the amount of sacks we’ve had over a three-year period,” Philbin said. “We rank about 27th in the league, where we used to be in the top five of fewest sacks. So that’s an emphasis. “We did not get off to a good start with five sacks (against Cleveland). That’s not anywhere near where we want to be. So it’s a little bit frustrating. We’ve got to do a better job. We can’t operate with those kind of sacks on a regular basis.” Given how much Sherrod struggled at both left guard and left tackle against Arizona, McCarthy’s announcement Monday that Lang will start Friday’s game at Indianapolis and, in turn, the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against New Orleans hardly came as a surprise. Sherrod, who was playing out of position at left guard after playing only at tackle in college at Mississippi State, sprained his knee against the Cardinals, but McCarthy indicated that the injury had little bearing on the decision. Lang, meanwhile, was rewarded for his professional approach after the coaches decided to give Sherrod the majority of the first-team snaps in practice at the start of training camp. “This three-week battle, it’s been a challenging process,” Lang said. “Just competing with Derek, having a rookie come in and challenge you for a spot, the way he was playing - overall, it made me a better player and made me want to earn that spot even more. Now that that spot is mine, it’s my job to hold onto it now. “I’ve been here long enough to know that the depth chart can change day by day. It’s my job now to play to a higher level and be an impact player for this team. I don’t want to come in as a new starter for this team and have any glaring holes. I want to fill that spot and do my job. I’m definitely excited to take it to another level now that I know what’s going to happen.” Lang, whose second season was derailed by a wrist injury that occurred late in his rookie season, required surgery and forced him to miss most of the offseason work while it healed before last season, admitted that Sherrod’s treatment motivated him. “Honestly, it made me work that much harder. I don’t know if that was their goal, to kind of light a fire under my ass, but whatever they did, it definitely worked,” Lang said. “My first personal goal coming into this year was I wanted to be a starter. I feel like this is my third year, I know the offense. I can get out there and do the job. Just the fact that I didn’t have anything handed to me, I had to work for that spot, makes me appreciate it that much more. Now I’m ready to set new goals for myself - be an impact player and be a guy that goes out there game after game and be consistent and continue to do my job.” Interim UConn AD emphasizes NCAA compliance BY STEPHEN DOCKERY ASSOCIATED PRESS STORRS, Conn. — Newly appointed interim University of Connecticut athletic director Paul Pendergast said Monday that relationships with boosters and staff and ensuring compliance with NCAA rules will be his priorities as he takes over for Jeff Hathaway. In an appearance with UConn President Susan Herbst, Pendergast addressed the media for the first time at The Burton Football Complex. Pendergast reiterated the four areas of focus for the athletic department — already mentioned by Herbst — as compliance, academic achievement, fundraising and athletic success. In addition Pendergast focused particularly on relationships with employees and donors. “It starts with trust, it starts with number one do they trust me,” Pendergast said about UConn athletics employees. He held a similar tone when speaking about donor relationships. “It’s about relationships and it’s about friendships it’s not just about necessarily donors and employees,” he said. Pendergast was picked Sunday to replace Hathaway, who left his job under pressure on Friday. UConn had many ath- letic successes under Hathaway but also had compliance issues and a rocky relationship with some donors. Pendergast also said Monday he is considering new initiatives for the athletic department including a ticketing price system that scales prices according to the demand for a game. “I think there’s consideration that should be given towards if we’ve got a high level opponent coming in and those seats are very, very valued seats that we price it accordingly,” Pendergast said. A long-awaited new practice facility for the basketball team couldn’t come soon enough, he said. Herbst has said Pendergast, a former associate athletics director, will serve on an interim basis until further notice. Pendergast is currently president of the Saint Francis Foundation and senior vice president of development for Saint Francis hospital. He begins handling the school’s athletics on Sept. 19 with an annual salary of $325,000. She is unsure of when a search for a permanent athletic director will begin. When asked if he was considering trying to hold the position full time, Pendergast said he was. “I think I have to act that way,” he said, “I don’t think its necessarily just putting your finger in a dike and just holding it.” NFLʼs 49ers to ban tailgating after game starts BY TERRY COLLINS ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — The 49ers will ban tailgating in the parking lot of Candlestick Park after games start, and season ticket holders caught misbehaving on video will have their passes revoked in moves announced Monday after violence marred a preseason game against the Raiders. In addition, 49ers CEO Jed York said he will recommend to the NFL that the annual preseason game between the archrival 49ers and Raiders be put off next year. “This is a game where you have a rivalry situation and, unfortunately you have the worst segment from a very small segment of both fan bases that come and brings about this type of event,” York said. “It’s our belief that we should recommend to the NFL that this game is at least postponed for some period of time.” York later said, “I think that’s an easier solution. It’s unfortunate.” San Francisco police, Mayor Ed Lee and 49ers officials also said police will set up DUI checkpoints near the stadium after all home games and strictly forbid alcohol consumption then. Lee said earlier in the day he was horrified as he watched violent fan confrontations at the game. Lee attended Saturday’s game with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, and both witnessed the brawling firsthand as spectators. “They were just constantly wailing at each other without regard to who was there,” Lee said of the fans. “This is a family outing, for residents and visitors and people who want to see the game, not for people to look for people they don’t like, then saying bad words, then getting into it.” Police Chief Greg Suhr, a lifelong San Franciscan, said Saturday night was an “aberration.” Meanwhile, two men who were initially listed as seriously injured in the violence have been upgraded to fair condition by a hospital. One of the victims, a 24-year-old man who reportedly was wearing a T-shirt reading “F--the Niners,” was shot several times in the stomach. Police said he managed to make it to stadium security for help despite the injuries. The other victim whose condition was upgraded is a 26-yearold man who was beaten unconscious in an upper level stadium restroom during the fourth quarter. Another shooting victim was treated after receiving superficial facial wounds after the game. Police did not release the name of any victims. No arrests have been made. Investigators were searching for suspects and interviewing witnesses, said Officer Albie Esparza, a San Francisco police spokesman. Police also were seeking motives in the shootings, including whether the attacks were influenced by emotions involving the annual Battle of the Bay exhibition game or possibly gang connections. The shootings evoked memories of the beating in March of a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium. The Giants and Dodgers baseball teams also are fierce rivals. Esparza said police are still looking for a person of interest connected to at least one of the shootings at the football game. He would not specify which shooting. The crimes previously prompted Lee and Quan to issue a joint statement condemning the violence and saying it will not be tolerated at stadiums in either city. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello echoed similar concerns, saying the league deplored the activities and pledged to support the mayors and law enforcement. Raiders CEO Amy Trask also said the incidents were not acceptable to the Raiders or to any National Football League team and “our thoughts are with all affected.” Police Sgt. Frank Harrell said the man who was wearing the T-shirt drove his truck to a gate and stumbled to stadium security. He said the two shootings were being treated a separate incidents but were likely related. The attacks come nearly five months after San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was severely beaten by two men in Los Angeles Dodgers gear outside Dodger Stadium after the archrivals’ season opener. Two men charged in the beating, Louie Sanchez, 28, and Marvin Norwood, 30, have pleaded not guilty. Stow, 42, a Santa Cruz paramedic, suffered severe brain injuries and remains hospitalized in serious condition. �Tuesday, August 23, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A9 www.mydailysentinel.com Cleveland Browns are black and blue BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Three weeks into training camp, first-year Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur has yet to see his full team practice. That’s because the Browns are black and blue. Injuries, several of them to key starters, have deprived Shurmur and the team’s top decision makers from evaluating what the Browns have and what they need to contend again. And just when it seems the team is about to get healthier, wide receiver and star return specialist Josh Cribbs injured his hamstring near the end of Sunday’s practice. “I’m going crazy,” team president Mike Holmgren said of the injuries. “I can imagine how Pat’s feeling.” Since before Shurmur blew his whistle for the first time as a head coach, the Browns have been banged up. The club’s medical checkup: — Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, arguably the top wideout on a team with questionable depth at the position, showed up Day One in a walking boot with a yet-tobe-disclosed leg injury. He hasn’t practiced, nor has second-year running back Montario Hardesty, who is coming off knee surgery. —Tight end Ben Watson sustained a concussion on the first day, and punter Reggie Hodges was lost for the season when he tore his Achilles in a non-contact drill a few days later. —Starting linebacker Chris Gocong sustained a neck stinger and hasn’t played in more than two weeks. —Offensive guard Eric Steinbach missed a few days with a knee problem and then had his back tighten up last week. He hasn’t been seen at camp in days. —On Friday, star running back Peyton Hillis (hamstring), linebacker Scott Fujita (thigh) and safety T.J. Ward (hamstring) were among eight projected starters not to dress for an exhibition against Detroit. And then, tight end Evan Moore, perhaps the MVP of camp, left with a concussion after catching two touchdown passes in the first half. It’s enough to wear on a coach’s nerves, especially those of a rookie coach eager to make an impression. “Unfortunately that’s the reality of training a team to get ready for the season,” Shurmur said. “You just hope the ones that you get are not season-ending.” Moore didn’t practice Sunday with what Shurmur described as a “mild concussion.” The team’s medical staff will take extra precautions with Moore, who sustained a concussion in Week 2 last season against Kansas City. On his Twitter page, Moore said he was fine. “I am 100 percent ok, and I appreciate everyone’s concern and support,” he wrote. Moore’s career has been slowed by injuries. The Browns are counting on him to be a major weapon in their new West Coast offense, and the 6-foot-6, 250-pounder has developed some nice chemistry with quarterback Colt McCoy. Shurmur said he was told Moore should recover and has every reason to believe he will be ready for the Sept. 11 season opener vs. Cincinnati. “I haven’t heard anything to say he’s not,” Shurmur said. At least the Browns have back Watson, the team’s leader in receptions last season. He practiced after sitting Friday with a hamstring injury and should play Thursday in Philadelphia. That’s also when Hardesty will make his preseason debut. His rookie season was over before it began as the former second-round pick tore a knee ligament in the 2010 exhibition finale. He’s been working his way back slowly, and the Browns believe he’s now set to test it under game conditions. “Each day he looks better and better,” Shurmur said. “He’s anxious to get back. I’m looking for him to compete. It appears to me like he’s getting more and more comfortable with the knee.” Holmgren is eager for the Browns to get healthy. In his first season with Cleveland, the club lost its three quarterbacks to high ankle sprains, a freakish run and main reason the Browns went 5-11. Holmgren said injuries are tough for coaches to accept. “”You reach a point of, ‘Well, give me the guys who are going to be there Sunday and let’s go,’” he said. “Why it’s frustrating is you’re losing valuable teaching time, the time that they can get better. Players want to practice. It’s just part of the game and you learn to deal with it, but it’s never easy.” Notes: Cribbs ended practice early with his leg wrapped in ice. “Minor setback,” he said. “Nothing big.” RB Brandon Jackson remained out with a toe injury. Hillis and Fujita were also back at practice. Shurmur said Massaquoi will do some sprints this week, but is not expected to face the Eagles. Both Holmgren and Shurmur said they spoke with rookie WR Greg Little about punting the ball into the stands after his touchdown on Friday. Shurmur’s not worried about Little becoming a disciplinary problem. “He loves to play the game,” Shurmur said. “When the lights are the brightest he’s one of those guys that just gets into it.” Plax is back: Burress leads Jets past Bengals 27-7 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Plaxico Burress stepped onto the football field, looked around and smiled. It was exactly what he had been dreaming about for nearly three years. He was back, he thought, right where he should be. “It was like an out-ofbody experience, a surreal feeling,” the New York Jets wide receiver said. “I just tried to stay focused.” No problems there. Burress caught three passes for 66 yards, including a terrific 26-yard, over-theshoulder touchdown reception, in his first NFL game since 2008 to help the Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals 27-7 in a preseason game Sunday night. “Everything feels normal,” Burress said, adding that he wasn’t nervous at all. “It feels like football. To be honest, it feels like I never left.” But the journey back was hardly easy. His last game was Nov. 23, 2008, at Arizona while with the Giants and a few days later, he accidentally shot himself in the leg in a Manhattan nightclub. He served 20 months in prison on a gun charge, missed the birth of his daughter and despite thinking he’d still be able to play, had to wonder if the NFL would even be an option when he got out. It certainly did. Yep, Plax was back. Signed last month by New York, Burress made his debut with the Jets (11) a memorable one. He caught a 20-yard pass from Mark Sanchez on the Jets’ first offensive play, prompting huge cheers from the rain-soaked crowd at the New Meadowlands Stadium. “He was ready to play,” Sanchez said. “He’s been waiting for this for a long time, so I didn’t have to say anything or do anything, really, except get him a ball that he could catch and he was rolling after the first play.” Burress had another 20yard grab in the second quarter, but the highlight came on New York’s last offensive play of the first half. Burress took off down the left side, drew separation from defensive back Fred Bennett in one-on-one coverage and hauled in the pass as he dropped into the end zone to put New York up 17-7 just before halftime. Burress got up and bowed a few times to the crowd, which had seen him make similar plays for years with the Steelers and Giants. Burress recently turned 34 and has acknowledged that many doubt he can return to the elite level he was playing at before that night three years ago. But the former Super Bowl star with the Giants has insisted throughout training camp — even while he was hobbled by a sprained left ankle — that he expects to be a game-changing receiver again. After missing the preseason opener at Houston because of the ankle injury, Burress backed up his bold words against the Bengals (0-2). “It’s the tip of the iceberg,” Burress said. “I’m just getting started.” Sure it was only a preseason game, but it was huge for Burress, who just a few months ago was cleaning toilets, mopping floors and serving meals in prison. He was cheered as he ran out of the tunnel with the offense in pregame introductions, and got a nice hand when he zipped across the field and Sanchez immediately got him involved with a 20-yard completion. “It’s different,” Sanchez said. “I’ve never had a target like him.” After a slow start with the Jets because of not being able to practice fully until last week, Burress saw seven passes come his way. Now, he needs to keep building a rapport with Sanchez. “We left a few plays out there that we should’ve hit,” Burress said, “but the sky’s the limit.” Sanchez finished 12 of 20 for 173 yards and two touchdowns, the first to Santonio Holmes, as the Jets’ starting offense played the entire first half. The running game, without starter Shonn Greene, stalled during the first two quarters, gaining just 17 yards, as a driving rain fell. LaDainian Tomlinson had just 16 yards on nine carries. Cincinnati’s offense struggled as rookie Andy Dalton, the second-round pick out of TCU, threw two interceptions that resulted in scores by New York. Dalton was 4 of 11 for 29 yards after one quarter, and finished 8 of 19 for 86 yards. “It wasn’t good enough,” Dalton said. “I have to come out and play better.” On the Bengals’ second possession, Eric Smith intercepted Dalton’s pass intended for A.J. Green, who tipped the ball into the safety’s hands. After a few steps, Smith lateraled the ball to Julio Cortez/AP Photo New York Jets Aaron Maybin, left, sacks Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Dan LeFevour during the fourth quarter of an NFL preseason football game, Sunday, in East Rutherford, N.J. The Jets won the game 27-7. Darrelle Revis, who brought the ball to the Bengals 16. One play later, Sanchez connected with Holmes to give the Jets a 7-0 lead. Dalton made another mistake a few minutes later when he overthrew Andre Caldwell on thirdand-15 from the 22 and the ball landed in the hands of a waiting Jim Leonhard, who returned it 35 yards to the Cincinnati 10. The Jets’ offense stalled and settled for Nick Novak’s 30yard field goal that made it 10-0. Dalton did engineer a terrific 70-yard scoring drive — his first of the preseason — early in the second quarter that was capped by Brian Leonard’s 1-yard rush. There will be no 2020 Olympic bid for the United States BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS The U.S. Olympic Committee has notified all interested cities that it will not submit a bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics. Chicago, New York and Dallas were among those that had expressed interest in putting forth a bid to host the games, but any bid was contingent upon the USOC working out a long-simmering revenue-sharing deal with the International Olympic Committee. USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said Monday on Twitter that “I can confirm the US will not be bidding for the 2020 Olympic Games.” He told The Associated Press the cities that had expressed interest were notified over the weekend that no bid would happen. Countries have until Sept. 1 to submit the name of candidate cities. “With such little time left in the process, we don’t believe we could pull together a winning bid that could serve the Olympic and Paralympic movement,” Sandusky told the AP. There also was no process in place to select a city, as there was for 2016, when Chicago beat out finalists Los Angeles and San Francisco to become the U.S. representative. The USOC’s decision not to bid for 2020 means there will be at least a 20-year gap between Olympics in the United States. The last games on U.S. soil were the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002 and the last Summer Olympics were the Atlanta Games in 1996. New York was, at one time, considered a favorite to host 2012, but it lost in embarrassing fashion. Chicago finished fourth of four finalists for the 2016 Games, and that humiliating loss was viewed by many as more a reflection on the USOC’s relationship with the IOC than the city’s viability as an Olympic host. America’s next chance to host an Olympics would be the 2022 Winter Games. Denver and the Reno/Tahoe area have expressed interest, though the USOC would put the same caveats on a bid for those games — that there would be no attempt unless the revenue-sharing deal is worked out and the relationship with the IOC improves. “I think it’s one of the smartest things they could do right now to come to a good conclusion with the IOC on revenue sharing,” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics, one of the Join Us For Lunch Hump Day Lunch Day 1st Wed. of every month 11-1 $ 00 5. / donation Dave Diles Park country’s most important, and successful, Olympic sports. “It’s very important they get this revenue-sharing deal done the right way. Having an Olympic bid hanging over your head is going to change the way you think about one of the most important business decisions you’re going to make for the USOC in the foreseeable future.” Since Chicago lost the bid to host the 2016 Games, USOC leadership had said there was only a very slim possibility of a 2020 bid and it would be tied to the USOC working out a deal on the contentious Great Gift Ideas Cat's Meow's Middleport/Meigs Jr. Hi Meigs High School $ 00 20. each Middleport T-Shirts $ 14.00 - $16.00 - $18.00 Call 992-5877 - 992-1121 992-7278 or 304-773-6090 MIDDLEPORT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION SEEKING FAMILY MEMBERS – HENDRICKS I would like very much to connect with members of the Hendricks Family who are direct descendents of Edwin Brown Hendricks and Mary Elizabeth Wise; Burns Hendricks and Gordon (Gurdon) Leeds Hendricks.

USOC leaders would not rule anything out, and the revenue negotiations were accelerated in recent weeks in the hopes of working something out in time to meet the Sept. 1 deadline. But the IOC was asking for more than the USOC leadership was willing to give at this point in an arrangement worth hundreds of millions that will largely shape the financial picture of both organizations for years to come. The USOC simply wasn’t »»» reen Go G »» willing to rush the deal to slap together a bid. “The United States and its athletes have made, and continue to make, a huge contribution to the Olympic Movement,” IOC spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau said. “We always welcome a bid from such a key partner and look forward to a bid in the near future.” The IOC will award the 2020 Games in 2013. So far, Rome, Tokyo, Madrid and Istanbul, Turkey, have announced they will bid. There has been very little talk about the 2024 Summer Games, which won’t be awarded for another six years.

A pair of Mason County schools were selected as West Virginia’s best headed into the start of the 2011 prep football season, as both Point Pleasant and Wahama came away with the top spots in the Charleston Daily Mail Poll in their respective divisions. The polls released Monday are voted on by a panel of West Virginia sports writers, and the state rankings were obvi- ously well-received in Mason County. The Big Blacks — who were 7-4 last fall — came away with 172 points in Class AA, finishing seven votes ahead of No. 2 Wayne (165). Both PPHS and the Pioneers received six first-place votes from the 20-voter panel. The White Falcons — a state finalist last year with a 13-1 overall record — earned 14 first-place votes and a total of 192 points in Class A, which is 24 points better than No. 2 Wirt County (168). Wahama was also the No. 1 ranked team in Class A last fall for the final six weeks of the regular season. Both Wahama and Point Pleasant have bye weeks this Friday while the rest of the state officially begins play this weekend. Wahama will host Trimble on Sept. 2 in its season opener, while Point Pleasant will welcome visiting Tolsia on Sept. 2 in the Big Blacks’ opening game. Hannan — the other football program in Mason County — did not receive a vote in the Class A poll.

Raiders use 3rd-round pick for Pryor NAPA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders used a third-round pick Monday in the NFL’s supplemental draft to select former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. The Raiders and the league announced that Oakland used the 18th selection of the round for Pryor. Oakland forfeits its third-round selection in the 2012 draft. Pryor’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client was excited about going in the third round after waiting until last Thursday to find out he’d even be eligible for the supplemental draft and not working out for teams until Saturday. “We’re tickled and thrilled that Terrelle went in the third round and to the Raiders,” Rosenhaus said. “The third round is quite an accomplishment for a young man who had his pro day 48 hours ago and didn’t know he would be in the draft until Thursday morning and wasn’t able to meet with any decision makers.” Pryor immediately headed to the Bay Area after being drafted and Rosenhaus said he hoped to finalize a contract as soon as possible to get Pryor on the practice field. Rosenhaus has already negotiated a third-round deal with the Raiders this summer with rookie cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke. “We’re optimistic this will be a smooth negotiation,” he said. “We enjoy working with the Raiders and he’s very excited.” Pryor will be able to practice immediately after signing and play in the remaining two exhibition games. But he will not be eligible to practice with or play for Oakland during the regular season until the team’s sixth game. When he was allowed to enter Monday’s draft, he was handed a five-game suspension by Commissioner Roger Goodell — the same number of games he would have sat out had he returned to Ohio State. Pryor has said he will not appeal the suspension. Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes after an investigation into the team’s memorabiliafor-cash scandal that cost coach Jim Tressel his job. His selection by the Raiders hardly is surprising. Oakland often makes bold moves in the draft because owner Al Davis covets size and speed. Pryor ran a 4.36 in the 40 during his workout for 17 NFL teams Saturday. At 6-foot-5 and 232 pounds, he is similar in height to JaMarcus Russell, the LSU quarterback chosen No. 1 overall by the Raiders in the 2007 draft. But Pryor is much more mobile. As a junior, Pryor had his best season statistically, throwing for 2,772 yards and 27 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. He also ran for 754 yards and four scores while helping the Buckeyes win the Sugar Bowl. “We all know how Al Davis likes big players who can run and Terrelle brings a dimension of size and speed that’s unique to the quarterback position,” Rosenhaus said. “The Raiders are a good fit for him because they have had an unsettled quarterback situation for a number of years and have worked in a number of different players. Any young quarterback would like the opportunity to go there and compete and be the guy.” Oakland’s starting quarterback is Jason Campbell, now in his second season with the Raiders after being acquired from Washing-ton, where he spent five seasons. Campbell is in the last year of his contract, as are backups Kyle Boller and Trent Edwards. The Raiders considered drafting a quarterback to groom for the future in April but did not find the right fit. Now they have Pryor to fill that role. Oakland is now without picks in the second, third and fourth rounds next year. The Raiders traded the 2012 second-round pick along with a 2011 seventh-round selection for third- and fourth-round picks this past draft to take offensive lineman Joe Barksdale and running back Taiwan Jones. They sent their fourth-round pick a year ago to the Redskins for Campbell. POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — At the end of the night, the scoreboard is the only thing that matters. The Point Pleasant boys soccer team dominated most of the statistical categories Friday in its season opener against PikeView, but the visiting Panthers came away with the all-important 2-1 decision at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. The Big Blacks (0-1) posted considerable advantages in both shots (18-4) and corner kicks (8-2), but the hosts never led in the entire contest. All of the goals also came in the first half, which made for a very intense second half of play. PikeView (1-1) opened the scoring in the 17th minute, as Will Webster intercepted a ball and bounced his shot off the lower left post for the early 1-0 advantage. PPHS, however, responded in the 23rd minute when Josh Parsons reached a pass from Steven Porter in front of the net before a charging PVHS goalkeeper Zach Van Blaricom, which allowed the hosts to knot things up at one apiece. The Panthers retaliated in the 34th minute after Tyler Cook rebounded a deflection on a corner kick, which ended the first half — and ultimately the game — scoring at 2-1. Point Pleasant was also whistled for eight fouls in the contest, compared to just five by the guests. “It’s a very disappointing start to the season,” PPHS coach Chip Wood said. “We controlled the ball the entire game, but we made two mistakes in the back and they capitalized on both.” Point goalkeeper Brady Reymond made two saves in the setback, while Van Blaricom stopped 17 shots in goal for the Panthers. Point Pleasant returns to action Tuesday when it travels to Herbert Hoover.
