improvement, blood products are
still being distributed to hospitals

“The blood supply is like a cell

recharging,” said Nick Gehrig, communications director, Red Cross

OHIO VALLEY —
Meigs County now tops

by the Ohio Department

in May, and now sits at
8.1 percent for the month
of June.
Unemployment also

June. That figure places
Gallia County in a tie for
the ninth highest in the
state with Adams County.
Mercer County continues to have the state’s
lowest rate at 3.4 percent,
which is an increase from
2.8 percent in May.
Ohio’s unemployment

Finding faith at the Field of Hope
By Morgan McKinniss
mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest.com
VINTON — Ohio Secretary
of State Jon Husted and Rep.
Ryan Smith, along with a host
of other state offices represented were present in Gallia
County for the Ribbon Cutting
Ceremony of the Recovery
House - a 16 bed live in facility
for the recovery of drug-addicted women at the Field of Hope
Community Campus.
The Recovery House is the
newest addition to the Field
of Hope Campus, and is the
largest step forward yet. The
facility, which is a 46-acre
campus, was first intended
for this use 10 years ago. The
asbestos was suspected to need
$1 million to remove, the roof
was leaking and falling in in
some places, and the property
was in severe disrepair due
to neglect. Through the hard
work of many, the old North
Gallia High School is now set
to receive its first tenants in
one month.
“The Recovery House is
complete and ready to move in.
All we have left to do is finish
hiring our staff and training
our staff, we expect to be in
in the next month” said Kevin
Morgan McKinniss/OVP
Over 100 people from the community and government offices were present for the ribbon cutting at the new Recovery
House on the Field of Hope Community Campus on Tuesday.
Dennis, CEO for Field of Hope.
“We already have some ladies
signed up for Recovery House,
and we have some more spots
still open. Women can call our
counseling center at 740-3888454 to get help and sign up.”
The facility is equipped to
offer group and individual

counseling, work skills and life
skills training, in order to facilitate recovery from substance
abuse.
Secretary of State Jon Husted gave a speech on the need
for facilities like Recovery
House in Ohio.
“I was inspired by its faith
based mission. As I’ve watched
people struggle with addiction
in all forms, faith based programs are the ones that work
the best” stated Husted. “They

MEIGS BRIEFS
OBITUARIES
ELIZABETH ‘BETTY’ CROSBY PICKENS
MIDDLEPORT
— Elizabeth
“Betty” Crosby
Pickens, 95, was
born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on
July 24, 1922. She
passed away in
Middleport, Ohio on July
24, 2017.
She is survived by her
son and daughter-in-law,
Ray and Patty (Goeglein)
Pickens; granddaughters, Nichola (Anthony)
Moretti, Noelle (Jason)
Sheets, and Nancy Pickens; great grandchildren,
Dominic Moretti, Nicholas Moretti, Quentin
Sheets, and Nyla Sheets;
and numerous nieces,
nephews and their families.
She was preceded in
death by her father, mother and brothers, Ralph,
Rae (Davies), Richard
and Allan.
During World War
II, Betty was a member of the Civilian Air
Patrol and the United
States Navy. Betty held
a Bachelor’s Degree
in Education from the
University of Minnesota
and a Master’s Degree in
Mathematics from Marshall College. She spent
her professional life in
education, acting as both
a teacher at Wahama in
West Virginia, Kirksville
in Missouri, Dayton, Middleport and Columbus in
Ohio public schools, and
a principal in Middleport.
She served on Columbus
Public School’s union
negotiating board and
was extremely proud of
the progress they made
for both teachers and
education. She served
her community on her
church governing board
for Grace United Church
of Christ (Shady Lane,
Columbus), on her condo
board (Yorkshire Village
Lane, Columbus), as a
member of the National
Education Association
(where she was a delegate
to the representative
assembly for about 10
years) and in the Ohio
Education Association.
She belonged to the
Business and Professional Women’s Club,
the Garden Club, and
Eastern Star. She was a
member of the First Baptist Church of Middleport
where she was a Sunday
School teacher.
She was a charter member and
first president
of Alpha Delta
Kappa, a teachers’ sorority. She
helped organize
Teachers for Better
Schools (the Columbus
Education Association’s
political action committee) and served there
until her retirement. She
was one of the Columbus representatives to
the Metro EPAC (which
interviewed political
hopefuls in greater
Columbus and recommended those who they
believed would be good
for education). Betty
gave countless hours as
a volunteer to Columbus
Public Libraries and was
a Campfire Girl.
An intelligent and
voracious reader, she
enjoyed correspondence
with far-flung friends and
loved ones, remembering
birthdays and sharing
family lore. As a retirement project, she wrote
an as-yet-unpublished
book. “Our Stories,” in
which she traced her
family’s genealogy and
migration back as far as
the year 1466. For this
project she learned to use
a personal computer and
helped her grandchildren
learn to use it as well.
She traveled extensively
and was interested in
the progress technology
made in her lifetime. She
often pointed out that
her first Christmas tree
had candles on it and as
a child she had ridden
in a sleigh to her grandparent’s home, but she
had later ridden on the
supersonic jet, Concorde.
She shared her inquisitive
approach to her faith, her
love of fiction, and her
patient grace with her
family. She will be sorely
missed.

Husted explained in

“We have tried to

Cerro Rico couldn’t be farther from Silicon Valley. Cigarette-scarred devil idols mark the mine
entrances. Its support beams are split and cracked,
and the air in the tunnels is thick with suffocating
silica dust. According to a BBC report, the average lifespan of a Cerro Rico miner is 40 years.
Worse, a UNICEF report found that children as
young as 6 years old

pounds of rock.”
an effort to trace the
origins of the iPhone I
broke one — literally
— into its basest elements. Among the things that
became clear: Despite Apple’s not insignificant
efforts, the richest, most influential player in the
technology industry isn’t doing enough to protect
the workers that provide the fundamental ingredients in its products.
My project started with a rock crusher and the
help of David Michaud, a mining consultant with
911 Metallurgist in British Columbia. We smashed
an iPhone 6, pulverizing it, and then analyzed the
resulting dust using mass spectometry, X-ray fluorescence and infrared analysis. Our efforts yielded
a richly detailed list of what makes up the iPhone’s
129-grams.
The phone contained 31 grams of aluminum,
nearly a quarter of its total weight. That was a
little surprising, given how light aluminum is, but
it’s fitting that the most abundant metal in the
Earth’s crust is also the most abundant metal in
the iPhone. Carbon and oxygen — found in the
phone’s plastics and its battery — ranked second
and third in the elemental lineup, followed by iron.
We tallied more than 6 percent silicon (microchips), 6 percent copper (wiring) and more than
5 percent cobalt (a primary ingredient in the
lithium-ion battery). Tin accounted for only about
half a percent of the iPhone’s total mass; it was
used as the soldering agent, to fix the components
in place.
The analysis also returned some unexpected
findings — trace amounts of arsenic in the processor, and the element gallium. “It’s the only metal”
in the phone, Michaud says, “that is liquid at room
temperature.”
According to Michaud’s calculations, to obtain
the 100 or so grams of minerals found in a single
iPhone, miners around the world have to dig,
dynamite, chip and process their way through
about 75 pounds of rock. On just about every continent, many of those miners are risking their lives
to provide you with a device that lets you read this
while you’re waiting in line for the bathroom.
For example, the mud pit mines on
Indonesia’sBangka Island, another source of tin
for Apple, are arguably even deadlier than the
Cerro Rico complex. Miners there have been swallowed by landslides and collapsing pits; six died
in one week in 2012. In 2014, after a BBC report
about Bangka, Apple sent a task force accompanied by an environmental nongovernmental organization to investigate. It’s unclear if conditions
have changed much on Bangka, but according to
its most recently published reports, Apple is still
sourcing tin from the island’s mud pits.
The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 requires companies to identify the smelters that supply them
with four “conflict” minerals — tin, tantalum (.02
percent of the phone), tungsten (also .02 percent)
and gold (.014 percent). (The market for these
substances funds warfare in and around the Democratic Republic of Congo.) Apple has complied. In
2014, it declared its tantalum suppliers conflictfree. In 2016, it announced that 100 percent of its
smelters had submitted to third-party audits for
fair practices. (It had already cut off a number of
them for noncompliance with its code of conduct).
However, by interviewing miners and tin industry
analysts, I was able to link child labor-plagued
Cerro Rico to a smelter Apple was still using in
2016 — clearly, third-party audits only go so far.
Every other year or so, a new revelation of terrible mining conditions seems to send the company
scrambling. In 2016, the Washington Post revealed

THEIR VIEW
Memorial to veterans of war on terror has merit
The following editorial appeared in the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
on Monday, July 24:
Military veterans of
the war on terrorism
deserve a memorial.
Let’s hope they don’t
have to wait as long for
it as World War II veterans did theirs.
Pittsburgher Andrew
Brennan, an Army veteran who flew helicopters in Afghanistan, has
been promoting the idea
of a national memorial
in Washington, D.C.,
for about three years.
Significant obstacles
remain. Funding is one
of them, but that’s a
worry for another day.
First, Congress would
have to waive a law that
permits memorials to
be built only 10 years or
more after a war is concluded.
The war on terror,
however, is more nebulous than most. It’s a
fight against a concept, a
tactic used by non-state
actors, not a foreign
power. It’s waged on
many fronts, not two or
three. Unlike other wars,
such as World War II,
it might never end. But
that’s no reason to hold
off giving veterans their
due.
The National WWII
Memorial did not open
until 2004, 59 years
after the war’s end. Now,
WWII veterans are dying
at a rate of hundreds per
day, and there’s a rush to
get as many as possible
to Washington to see the
memorial while they’re
still able to travel. The
nonprofit Honor Flight
Network has cobbled
together money and
planes to fly tens of
thousands of them to
Washington.
Veterans of the war
on terrorism shouldn’t
have to wait until they
are 80 or 90 to visit their
memorial. They reported
when called, putting
duty before families,
careers and convenience.
Recognition of their sacrifices should be prompt,
too.
Rep. Tom McClintock,
R-Calif., is correct
to point out that the
10-year-rule is intended
to provide “historical
context” to a war. The
waiting period theoretically leads to a more fitting tribute. But 10 years
is completely arbitrary;
historians could provide
even better context 20,
30 or 40 years afterward.
While much about
the war on terrorism
remains unknown, the
broad outlines are clear.
That’s enough to get
started. An unconventional war deserves an
unconventional memorial, and this one should
be built in a way that
allows later chapters of
the story to be added.
Architects will find a
way.
For inspiration, Congress might look at the
example set 75 years
ago by the people of
Monongahela, Pa., who
wasted no time erecting
an honor roll to friends
and relatives serving
during WWII. Their
memorial went up in
June 1942, the work
done by local craftsmen
and the space donated
by a town businessman.
Planning, according to
the old Daily Republican
newspaper, began soon
after the attack on Pearl
Harbor.
Two girls with brothers in the military pulled
aside a red, white and
blue curtain unveiling
the honor roll, to which
names were to be added
each month. For America, the war was just getting started. But folks in
Monongahela needed no
more context than the
empty seats at their dinner tables.
Moving on a memorial now would be just
thanks to veterans of the
war on terrorism. It also
might help to steel those
of us on the home front.
THEIR VIEW
Maintaining an independent judiciary is critical
The following editorial appeared in the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch on
Sunday, July 23:
With Republicans
dominating the White
House, Congress and
state governments, it’s
no surprise that dominating the judiciary is
the next goal. Efforts to
control that independent
branch of government
have prompted debate
on an obscure Senate
rule called the “blue-slip”
process.
Billionaire industrialist brothers David and
Charles Koch, among
leaders of the effort,
urged supporters at a
recent private retreat to
work against the rule.
The 100-year-old rule
keeps judicial nominees
from moving forward
in Senate confirmation
if a home-state senator
objects.
The slim Republican
margin in the U.S. Senate — 52-48 — has party
bigwigs concerned that
if the practice isn’t eliminated, Democrats will
retain too much power
to delay or derail President Donald Trump’s
federal court nominees.
The Kochs’ one-page
document on the rule
urged attendees, who
included many important Republicans, to
press the issue with the
Senate’sGOP leadership
and other Republican
senators they know.
“Tell them not to allow
needless delay tactics
and obstruction of the
process,” the document
read.
The stakes are high.
Trump arrived in office
with more than 100
vacancies to fill on the
federal bench, partly
because Senate Republicans blocked many
of President Barack
Obama’s nominees.
Nine of the country’s 13 federal appeals
courts currently have a
majority of Democratic
presidents’ nominees.
Among the 179 appeals
court seats there are 21
vacancies. Trump has
announced nine nomi-
nees for those courts and
22 for 107 lower court
openings.
Dianne Feinstein,
D-Calif., ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is pushing
back. She says ending
the practice would allow
“nominees to be handpicked by right-wing
groups,” and accused
the White House, the
Koch brothers, and the
conservative Judicial
Crisis Network of falsely
suggesting Democrats
are trying to obstruct
presidential nominees.
Democratic senators are considering
nominees fairly, and
many have long judicial
records home-state senators must review carefully, Feinstein says. Scrutiny is most important
when home-state senators were not consulted
before nominees were
chosen, she says, adding,
“and that goes for Democrats and Republicans.”
Congressional rules
that aim to keep the
branches of government
operating within the
two-party system must
be carefully preserved. If
they work for both Democrats and Republicans,
the party in the majority
shouldn’t opt to exercise
their authority because
it will come back to bite
them.
Witness Democratic
senators’ response to the
Republican blockade of
Obama’s nominees in
2013. They changed the
rules to allow simplemajority approval of
judicial or executive
branch nominations,
enabling them to win
swift victories for the
president’s picks. That
backfired when Democrats lost the majority
and Republicans could
approve Trump’s Cabinet
nominees with the lower,
51-vote threshold.
America’s federal
court system is not perfect, but it’s not rigged,
as Trump asserted.
Efforts by billionaires to
undermine judicial independence threaten our
democracy.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Police chiefs from Texas’
largest cities rallied outside the state Capitol Tuesday in opposition to a “bathroom bill” targeting
transgender people, just as Senate Republicans
inside lurched toward a new vote on restrictions
similar to those approved in North Carolina.
The chances of the bill ultimately reaching the
desk of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott remain tenuous despite overwhelming GOP control of the Legislature.
From page 4
that “artisanal” mines in
Congo, a prime source
of cobalt for Apple
and other companies,
employed children and
adults who dig by hand
hundreds of feet into
the earth for subsistence
wages. Apple mapped
its cobalt supply chain
and promised to clean
it up. But it wasn’t until
Sky News aired footage
of children working in
the Congolese mines this
year that the company
pledged to cut off the
source.
Of course, Apple isn’t
alone in obtaining minerals from troubled mines
and conflict zones. And
it is undoubtedly true
that establishing a clean,
ethical supply chain is an
enormous challenge. At
Cerro Rico, for example,
underage miners work
in what you might call
freelance cooperatives.
They pool the ore they
take from the mines and
sell it to a middleman
who in turn provides it
to the smelter. The road
from child-mined tin to
an iPhone component is
anything but direct and
easy to police.
To effect real change,
companies must dedicate
serious resources and
novel systems-thinking
to the problem. And if
any company has serious resources to spare
it’s Apple: It’s the most
valuable enterprise in the
world, with $256 billion
in cash on hand. Apple
recently said it would
like to end its reliance
on mining altogether,
and to its credit, it has
experimented with solutions such as automated
recycling. (Its impressive
recycling robot, Liam,
can disassemble used
iPhones and harvest their
parts.) But so far these
projects are merely aspirational.
If Apple expects to
live up to its code of conduct, it needs to spend
more of its billions to
aggressively map and
proactively investigate
where all its elements
come from, getting past
the smelters and into
the mines at places like
Cerro Rico. When Steve
Jobs introduced the
iPhone, he said, “It works
like magic.” Now Apple
should turn its predilection for innovation and
just-so design toward
creating a state-of-theart sustainable, ethical
beginning-to-end supply
chain — and a phone that
is as humane to build as
it is magical to use.

Cavs sign Derrick Rose to 1-year contract
Darren Abate | AP
New York Knicks’ Derrick Rose stands on the court during a free throw attempt
in the first half of a game March 25 against the San Antonio Spurs, in San
Antonio.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Derrick Rose’s goal is to win an
NBA championship. He’s a
little closer to one.
The free-agent guard signed
a one-year contract Tuesday
with the Cleveland Cavaliers, a
team that has blocked his path
to a title before and one that
needs him now more than ever.
Rose is getting a one-year,
$2.1 million deal — the
veteran’s minimum, and all
Cleveland could offer — from
the Cavaliers, who now have a
possible replacement for Kyrie
Irving. Rose gives the Cavs a
proven player to handle pointguard duties if they choose
to trade Irving, who recently
told the team he wants to be
dealt despite making it to three
straight NBA Finals.
And while Rose is taking a
substantial pay cut (he made
$21.3 million last season in
New York), he’s focused on one
thing.
“I have a single focus and
purpose of wanting to play to
win,” he said. “Being part of
a roster and organization that
shares that type of commitment and being able to play
with the Cavaliers and compete
for a championship is the only
thing that matters for me. I am
very happy to be in Cleveland
and look forward to getting to
work.”
The Cavaliers’ pursuit of
Rose seemed somewhat puzzling before Irving’s demands
became public. The All-Star
guard, whose 3-pointer in the
waning moments of Game 7 of
the 2016 Finals gave Cleveland
its first sports championship in
52 years, has reportedly grown
tired of playing alongside LeBron James and wants to be the
focal point for another team.
Rose knows what that’s like.
For seven years, he was the
unquestioned star for the Chicago Bulls, who got to the Eastern Conference finals in 2011
but were beaten by James’
Miami Heat.
Now, Rose and James, both
former league MVPs, are
united.
James welcomed his new
teammate Monday on Twitter
, posting five rose emoji’s with
the message: “Let’s Rock G!!”

CHICAGO — Urban
Meyer doesn’t dwell on a
31-0 loss to Clemson in a
semifinal of the College
Football Playoff last season. But he hasn’t forgotten it, either.
At one point during
the first day of Big Ten
Football Media Days on
Monday, the Ohio State
coach said that was in
the past. But later in the
day, he revisited it and
acknowledged it was
tough to take.
Not only was it unexpected. It also was the
first time one of Meyer’s
teams had been shut out
since he became a college
head coach.
“We’ve kind of let
that one go. We’ve been
known in the past to
kind of use different
things for motivation.
That’s gone, that ship
has sailed. We have not
addressed it or talked
about it,” Meyer said at
first.
“Professionally, it
changed how we do some
business on offense.
We’re moving forward.
We’re just pushing forward,” he said.
Later he said, “It was
awful. I could sugar coat
it and tell you something
different but it was
awful. It forces you to
re-evaluate everything
you do and make sure it
doesn’t happen again.”
That re-evaluation led
to two coaching changes.
Ed Warinner was out as
offensive coordinator and
Tim Beck did not return
as quarterbacks coach,
and Kevin Wilson was
in as offensive coordinator and Ryan Day came
aboard as quarterbacks
coach.
“Kevin Wilson is the
first established offensive
coordinator I’ve ever
hired. This is a veteran
coach who has led some
of the top offenses in
America so he has had
a lot of input in our
offense,” Meyer said.
“Ryan Day is a star in
coaching. His relationship with J.T. and the
rest of the quarterbacks
is very strong. It’s still
going to be the Ohio
State offense. We had
some weaknesses a year
ago, I’d like to see some
improvement,” he said.
Day was an assistant coach for the San
Francisco 49ers who
became available when
Chip Kelly was fired as
the 49ers coach. Wilson
resigned as Indiana’s
head coach in December.
“Ryan Day is a guy I
tried to get before but
he wasn’t available.
Kevin Wilson, I didn’t
anticipate that one but I
admired his ability from
afar. The timing worked
out pretty good,” Meyer
said.
Meyer didn’t point
fingers at the former
assistant coaches and
both are employed by
successful football programs now – Warinner at
Minnesota and Beck at
Texas.
He did indicate quarterback J.T. Barrett
took too much heat for
last year’s inconsistent
offense, though.
“JT Barrett broke a
bunch of records as a
(redshirt) freshman.
That’s because the receivers were outstanding.
We struggled at times
last year because our
offensive line was not up
to speed, our tight ends
were not good and our
receivers weren’t playing
up to potential. So the
quarterback takes the
hit,” Meyer said.
Some other thoughts
from Meyer:
�H_]^j�]kWhZ�_i�j^[�
only position open on
the offensive line and as
many as seven players
are competing for that
spot.
Matthew Burrell, Malcolm Pridgeon, Branden
Bowen, Josh Myers and
Thayer Munford are
among the players Meyer
mentioned who are in
the running for this posi-
tion.
�J^[�ijWhj_d]�fei_tions at wide receiver
and tight end are “wide
open,” Meyer said.
“Tight end is wide
open. It was not one of
our strengths a year ago.
To me, the wide receiver
position is wide open.
We were not where we
needed to be a year ago,”
he said.
�@kd_eh�Yebb[][�jhWdifer Kendall Sheffield,
who began his college
career at Alabama, will
push for playing time at
cornerback.
�C[o[h�j^_dai�j^[�8_]�
Ten is more respected
now than when he was
hired at Ohio State.
“I’ve coached in the
SEC East when that
was one of the strongest
(divisions) in the country and I think the Big
Ten East now is every
bit as strong as I can
remember the SEC East.
Recruiting in 2012 I was
shocked at the disrespect
the Big Ten had. I don’t
feel that at all anymore.
I feel a great amount of
respect nationally for the
Big Ten,” he said.
�>[�j^_dai�9_dY_ddWj_�
and Luke Fickell were a
good fit for each other.
“I think it’s the right
job for him at the right
time,” Meyer said about
the long-time OSU defensive coordinator.

B-10 Notebook: IU
hosts Buckeyes in
season opener
By Jim Naveau
jnaveau@limanews.com
AJ Mast | AP
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (88) talks with his crew Sunday after dropping out of the NASCAR Brickyard 400 on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway in Indianapolis.
Earnhardt Jr. headed to broadcast booth in 2018
NEW YORK (AP) —
Dale Earnhardt Jr. will
have a new way to voice
his racing opinions next
season — on television.
NASCAR’s most popular driver will join NBC
Sports Group’s coverage
of stock car racing next
year and there may be
more options once he
climbs out of the car for
good.
The agreement
with NBCUniversal
announced Monday
will allow Earnhardt to
pursue “a wide range of
opportunities in the company’s media businesses,
including movies, television, podcasts, and other
areas” including football
and perhaps even the
Olympics.
“I’ve always just drove
race cars. So this is probably the first real job
I’ve had in 20 years,”
Earnhardt said on a conference call. “This is an
incredible opportunity
for me to start an entirely new career.”
He seems like a natural, too.
Earnhardt has been
voted the series’ most
popular driver 14 con-
secutive times and provides some of the most
thoughtful analysis in
the series. Add those
traits to his down-toearth approach and his
desire to succeed and it
could be a perfect match.
NBC Sports Executive
Producer and President
of Production Sam Flood
said Earnhardt has
already contemplated
following Chris Collinsworth around for a
“Sunday Night Football”
game or watching an
Xfinity Series race in the

“His love of the sport

Earnhardt got a brief
taste of broadcasting

of his injury history. Two
big crashes last summer
forced him out of the
final 18 races, and he
missed two races during

because of concussionrelated symptoms. The

involved in the sport in

Earnhardt said negotiations began after he
decided to leave racing
and continued for several
months before the two
sides agreed to the deal
in the past few days.
“I’m excited to be able
to finally announce this
news,” Earnhardt said.
“I’m going to follow
Sam’s lead and as prepared be as I can and let
him give me the tools to
make progress.”
Next year’s NASCAR
races will air on either

“To be reunited with

CHICAGO — Indiana coach Tom Allen
says Ohio State’s Aug.
31 trip to Bloomington
to play the Hoosiers
will be “the biggest
home opener in the
history of Indiana football.”
Allen made that
statement at the Big
Ten Football Media
Days on Monday. And
the three Hoosiers
players representing
IU at that event were
all on board with their
coach pumping up that
match-up.
“I don’t think it’s
hype, I think it’s the
truth,” Indiana linebacker Tegray Scales
said.
“Usually you play
smaller schools or out
of conference teams or
someone of that nature.
I agree with him, it
probably is the biggest
opener in history,”
Scales said.
Cornerback Rashard
Fant said, “A lot of
people don’t think we
can beat Ohio State.
I think it’s all about
staying level headed.
It’s a big game. It’s the
biggest game in IU
history, that’s the way
you should want it. You
want all eyes on you
against the best of the
best.”
Quarterback Richard
Lagow said, “It adds
urgency, if nothing
else. It adds urgency
to summer camp, it
adds urgency to the
offseason. We opened
with Florida International last season. No
disrespect to them but
it’s a little different this
year.”
Another element adding to the hype is that
Indiana’s head coach
last year, Kevin Wilson,
is now OSU’s offensive
coordinator.
Allen was less
outspoken about the
return of his predecessor than he was about
the magnitude of the
game.
“The media is going
to make a big deal
about him being there.
But it’s not about us,”
Allen said.
Allen, who was Indiana’s defensive coordinator last season, was
named head coach in
December after Wilson
resigned because of
what was called “philosophical differences.”
Ohio State has not
lost to Indiana since
1988 and has a 22-0-1
record against the Hoosiers in that time span.
However, the Buckeyes
have had close games
the last two times it
played in Bloomington,
Rose
winning 34-27 in 2015
and 52-49 in 2012.
The last time Ohio
State opened a football
season against a Big
Ten opponent was in
1976 against Michigan
State. The Buckeyes’
last opener against a
Big Ten opponent on
the road was when it
went to Michigan State
in 1975.
Cupp had surgery
Leipsic’s Gavin Cupp
had shoulder surgery
during spring football.
Center Billy Price
mentioned it during an
interview on Monday
and Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig confirmed it and said Cupp,
a redshirt freshman
offensive lineman, is
expected to be ready for
the start of fall camp.
Never on Friday
Allen, a former high
school football coach,
also weighed in on the
Big Ten playing games
on Friday night and said
he is against it.
“I’m very concerned
about it. I’m not going
to sit here and try and
make a big issue in
terms of what I think.
My history as a high
school coach for 15
years is strong. It’s who
I am, it’s how I started,
and it’s been so many
years.
“I think that’s a special night. I don’t like
playing games on Friday
night. I think that’s high
school night. But it’s
not always my decision,
but I’m one of those I’m
not going to just not tell
you what I believe,” he
said.
“I think that’s a situation where I would prefer that we didn’t. But
I understand there may
be factors outside of my
control for that. But to
answer your question, I
would like to keep that
night special for high
school football. That
means a lot to me.”
Laurinaitis joins BTN
Former Ohio State
linebacker James Laurinaitis will join the
Big Ten Network as an
on-air contributor this
football season.
Laurinaitis had “probably the best screen test
I’ve ever seen,” BTN
president Mark Silverman said on Monday at
Big Ten Football Media
Days. “We think people
who watch James
are going to be very
impressed.”

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s highest sports authority
has suspended the president of the Spanish Football

The Higher Council of Sport removed Angel Maria
Villar from the federation presidency on Tuesday,
pending the outcome of the investigation which has
landed him in prison without bail and rocked Spanish
soccer.
Council president Jose Ramon Lete says Villar
and vice president Juan Padron, also arrested last
Tuesday, were suspended for one year. Lete says their
suspensions could be revised “depending on the facts
that come out.”

The six-year NFL veteran signed with the New

known to cause cognitive and behavioral problems in
athletes, members of the military and others who sustained repeated head trauma.
The 31-year-old undrafted free agent out of Toledo

Japan marks three-year countdown to 2020
TOKYO (AP) —
Japan began its threeyear countdown to the
2020 Tokyo Olympics on
Monday with concerts,
races and other events
meant to drum up public enthusiasm for the
games.
The 2020 Games will
be Japan’s first summer
Olympics since the 1964
edition in Tokyo. After
a rocky start, organizers
are gearing up to get the
public more involved.
A 15-day, 1,000-kilometer (about 620 mile)
citizens relay began
Monday in northeastern Japan’s Aomori
prefecture. Runners
and cyclists will travel
through areas ravaged
by the 2011 tsunami,
reaching the capital on
Aug. 7.
Other events included
group calisthenics, traditional dancing and
surfing at the Olympics
surfing venue. In Tokyo,
a concert and other
festivities were planned
after dark.

The Olympic village is seen under construction Sunday in Tokyo. Japan has begun its three-year
countdown to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo with relays, concerts and dancing meant to help

launched an annual
“telework” day on Monday to encourage more
people to do their jobs
remotely, especially during the 2020 Games.
Dozens of companies
have pledged to participate.
Troubles over the
design for Tokyo’s
National Stadium, the
Olympics logo and soaring costs for the events
are still casting a shad-
ow as organizers rush to
meet tight deadlines.
In April, a 23-year-old
employee of one of the
Olympic contractors
committed suicide in
a case believed to be
related to overwork.
Asked about the young
man’s death after having
clocked more than 200
hours of overtime the
month before, Hikariko
Ono, spokesperson for
Tokyo 2020, it was “very
unfortunate.”
“We extend our condolences to the man who
passed away and his
family,” Ono said. The
Tokyo Olympics organizing committee is asking
the Japan Sports Council to provide details of
the case.
“We would like to
remind all the parties
to be mindful so that
similar cases will not be
repeated,” she said.
Disease seen in most football players in report
CHICAGO (AP) —
Research on 202 former
football players found
evidence of a brain disease linked to repeated
head blows in nearly all
of them, from athletes
in the National Football
League, college and even
high school.
It’s the largest update
on chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, or CTE,
a debilitating brain

disease that can cause
a range of symptoms
including memory loss.
The report doesn’t
confirm that the condition is common in
all football players; it
reflects high occurrence
in samples at a Boston
brain bank that studies
CTE. Many donors or
their families contributed because of the
players’ repeated concussions and troubling
symptoms before they
died.
“There are many
questions that remain
unanswered,” said lead
author Dr. Ann McKee, a
Boston University neuroscientist. “How common
is this” in the general
population and all football players?
“How many years of
football is too many?”
and “What is the genetic
risk? Some players do
not have evidence of
this disease despite
long playing years,” she
noted.
It’s also uncertain if
some players’ lifestyle
habits — alcohol, drugs,
steroids, diet — might
somehow contribute,
McKee said.
Dr. Munro Cullum, a
neuropsychologist at UT
Southwestern Medical
Center in Dallas, emphasized that the report
is based on a selective
sample of men who were
not necessarily representative of all football players. He said problems
other than CTE might
explain some of their
most common symptoms
before death — depression, impulsivity and
behavior changes. He
was not involved in the
report.
McKee said research
from the brain bank may
lead to answers and an
understanding of how
to detect the disease in
life, “while there’s still a
chance to do something
about it.” Currently,
there’s no known treatment.
The strongest scientific evidence says CTE
can only be diagnosed
by examining brains
after death, although
some researchers are
experimenting with tests
performed on the living.
Many scientists believe
that repeated blows to
the head increase risks
for developing CTE,
leading to progressive
loss of normal brain
matter and an abnormal
buildup of a protein
called tau. Combat veterans and athletes in
rough contact sports like
football and boxing are
among those thought to
be most at risk.
The new report was
published Tuesday in the
Journal of the American
Medical Association.
CTE was diagnosed
in 177 former players
or nearly 90 percent
of brains studied. That
includes 110 of 111
brains from former
NFL players; 48 of 53
college players; nine of
14 semi-professional
players, seven of eight
Canadian Football league
players and three of 14
high school players. The
disease was not found in
brains from two younger
players.
A panel of neuropathologists made the diagnosis by examining brain
tissue, using recent criteria from the National
Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke,
McKee said.
The NFL issued a
statement saying these
reports are important
for advancing science
related to head trauma
and said the league “will
continue to work with
a wide range of experts
to improve the health of
current and former NFL
athletes.”

MOORESVILLE,
N.C. (AP) — Team
Penske has reached an
agreement with 2012
NASCAR Cup champion
Brad Keselowski on a
multiyear extension.
The 33-year-old
Keselowski has driven
for Penske throughout
his 10-year career in
NASCAR’s top series,
notching 23 wins and
the series title five years
ago. His crew chief with
the No. 2 Ford, Paul
Wolfe, has also agreed
to a multiyear extension
with Penske.
“In the time that Brad
has driven for Team
Penske, he has risen to
the top echelon of stars
in NASCAR,” owner
Roger Penske said
Tuesday. “Brad and Paul
have established a terrific, winning combination and they are both
real leaders within our
team.”
Keselowski has two
Cup wins so far this season, at Atlanta and Martinsville, and is sixth in
the points standings.
“Roger and everyone
at Team Penske have
given me everything we
need to win championships at the highest
levels of NASCAR,” said
Keselowski. “As I have
said all along, Team
Penske is where I want
to be and I am thrilled
to continue with the
organization well into
the future. I have a lot
of years left in the sport
and I truly feel our best
years are ahead of us.”
Keselowski joined
Penske near the end of
the 2009 season and
Wolfe joined him prior
to the 2010 Xfinity
Series season. They
won the 2010 Xfinity
drivers’ championship
with six wins and a
series-record 26 topfive finishes. Wolfe then
joined Keselowski on
the No. 2 and they have
earned six trips to the
NASCAR playoffs.
“There is no one I
want helping make
my racecars go fast
more than Paul Wolfe,”
Keselowski said. “We
have a lot of continuity
between the two of us,
and really the entire No.
2 Ford team, which is
so important in today’s
NASCAR.”
