MCSO, BCI investigate suspicious shooting By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com Photos bySarah Hawley | Sentinel Dozens of people with eclipse glasses, pin hole view finders and other viewing devices gathered on the lawn next to the Pomeroy Library as well as the parking lot area to view the partial solar eclipse on Monday afternoon. Prior to the viewing of the eclipse, A.J. Roush, a volunteer with the Planetary Society gave a presentation about the society and the solar eclipse. Also pictured (bottom left) with Roush is Chelsea Poole of the Meigs County Public Library. Eclipse sweeps over area By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — It was a sight unseen in the area for many, many years, and one that many had never had the opportunity to experience. Local residents of all ages gathered in their lawns, parking lots, in front of businesses and even on the courthouse balconies with their eclipse glasses, view boxes and even welder’s masks, to view the rare sight. While Meigs County was not in the path of totality, viewers in the area could see approximately an 88 percent cover of the sun as part of the partial solar eclipse. At the Pomeroy Branch of the Meigs County District Public Library, A.J. Roush, a volunteer with The Planetary Society, presented a program on the eclipse and the society itself. See ECLIPSE | 3A Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel. These photos of the partial eclipses were taken by placing a camera up to eclipse glasses. Commissioners discuss road issues By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — Meigs County Commissioners met Thursday and addressed a variety of county business beginning with the request for a street by Orange Township residents Steve Lucas and Ray Reames. The two men who live in Weathermans Second Addition, located in Tuppers Plains, stated they have been maintaining the 40 foot easement that is the only access to several homes at their own expense, and were asking for assistance from either the township or the county. “The ideal situation would be for our trustees to take over A NEWS Obituary: 2A News: 3A Editorial: 4A the road, but they are reluctant to do so,” Reames said. He attributed their reluctance to existing utility poles that make it difficult to deliver road materials and to sewer covers. The covers present two problems: they are above the road surface and would need to be sunk, and if the road is paved, it would have to be dug up to access the sewer lines each time a new connection was necessary. Gene Triplett presented the history of the dilemma, “The subdivision was created in the 60’s and a county owned dedicated right of way for public use was put in place.

POMEROY — Several weeks after word came that the Pomeroy Sternwheel Festival would not be happening this year due to a lack of volunteers for the multi-day event, the festival is back on. While the event is back on, the date has changed, as has the group running the festival. The Pomeroy Eagles recently voted to host this years Sternwheel Regatta and to move this year’s date. The Pomeroy Fire Department has planned to help support the Regatta as well. This years Pomeroy Sternwheel Regatta will take place Sept. 22 and 23, stated John Lehew in an email to the Sentinel. “Since the other Sternwheel committee cancelled this year’s event we lost our original date to Parkersburg, West Virginia,” stated Lehew of the reason for the change. “This is a long standing event and The Pomeroy Eagles wanted to make sure The Sternwheel Regatta was held this year,” said Lehew. The next meeting of the New Pomeroy Regatta Committee will be held on Sunday, Aug. 27 at 4 p.m. in the social room of the Pomeroy Eagles Club. Anyone interested is welcome to attend the meeting.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. — This one was all about gaining experience on an immaculate course. That’s because the young Gallia Academy High School boys golf team competed at the annual Duke Ridgely Invitational on Friday — and placed eighth out of 11 teams that posted team scores at the pristine Guyan Golf and Country Club near Huntington. The Blue Devils fired a team total of 261 — operating with West Virginia’s rule of playing four scores but counting only three. This was the second season in which Gallia Academy was invited to play in this event, which is hosted by two-time defending West Virginia Class AAA state champion CabellMidland. Cabell-Midland actually fielded three teams, as Rock Hill and Ironton —members of the Ohio Valley Conference with Gallia Academy —only combined to sport three players. The Blue Devil trio of senior Kaden Thomas, freshman Cooper Davis and sophomore Reece Thomas tallied the team total of 261 — as Kaden Thomas shot an 81, Davis an 89 and Reece Thomas a 91. Wyatt Sipple shot a 124 for the club’s non-counting card. Parkersburg, paced by medalist Isaac Prine with a smooth four-under-par 67, captured the team title with a 224. The Big Reds’ win snapped a seven-year streak of victories by the host Knights, which were the runner-up with a 237. As part of Prine’s fine round, he made a hole-in-one on the par-3 155-yard 12th-hole with a 9-iron. In fact, Kaden Thomas — playing in the same foursome —bore witness to the ace, along with Josef Dransfeld of Cabell-Midland and Ty Queen of Wayne. The next six squads all finished within nine shots of one another —and included Huntington St. Joseph (252), Cabell-Midland B (256), Fairland (257), Huntington (260), See DEVILS | 2B Point blanks Red Devils in opener, 3-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A good beginning to the new season. The Point Pleasant boys soccer program dominated from start to finish on Saturday afternoon while posting a 3-0 shutout victory over visiting Ravenswood in a non-conference match at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. The host Black Knights (1-0) produced twice as many shot attempts as the Red Devils (0-1) with a 14-7 overall edge, with most of those attempts coming during a first half that saw PPHS establish a 2-0 halftime cushion. Both teams remained scoreless midway through the first half, but the Black Knights hit paydirt in the 21st minute as Alex Carlisle booted a long ball into Adam Veroski — who then gained control of the ball in the middle of a defensive pile. Veroski tapped the ball out to Cole Walker, who then dribbled around the RHS keeper and found the back of an open net for an early 1-0 cushion. Veroski received another long ball from Carlisle in the 32nd minute, but this time Veroski controlled the pass and took his own shot — which led to a goal and a 2-0 edge headed into the break. Veroski completed the scoring in the 46th minute after taking a through ball in stride up the middle before launching a shot from 20 yards out. The attempt found the back of the net to give Point Pleasant a 3-0 lead. From there, both teams simply focused on fundamentals as the clock gradually whittled down — giving PPHS keeper Zach Rediger his first career shutout with the 3-0 triumph. The Black Knights were whistled for 20 of the 28 fouls in the contest, with the Red Devils also accumulating five of the seven corner kicks. Afterwards, PPHS coach Chip Wood admitted that he liked what he witnessed. “I really felt that we dominated possession of the ball and that we played physical, fast and moved the ball well,” Wood said. “It was a very clinical-type win because we adjusted a little tactically and found success. We let Ravenswood control a little kick ball segment of the game in second half, but finally got things settled and killed the game off in the last 10 minutes with solid possession. It’s a good start to the season and what we are hoping to accomplish.” Point Pleasant returns to action at 7 p.m. Tuesday when it hosts Teays Valley Christian.

Braves top Reds 8-1 ATLANTA (AP) — Braves rookie Sean Newcomb relied on some clutch defense — including his own creative play — to frustrate the Cincinnati Reds. Tyler Flowers’ grand slam broke open a close game in Atlanta’s six-run fifth inning, Newcomb earned his first home win and the Braves beat Cincinnati 8-1 on Sunday. Newcomb (2-7) gave up five hits with five walks in five scoreless innings for his first victory since June 27 at San Diego. He improved to 1-6 in eight starts at SunTrust Park. Strong defensive plays by Newcomb and Ozzie Albies kept the Reds from scoring in the third after loading the bases with one out. Albies made a leaping grab at second base of Joey Votto’s liner for the second out. Adam Duvall then hit a slow grounder that bounced past Newcomb before the pitcher chased it down, falling to the ground. Still on the turf, Newcomb flung the ball on a bounce to Freddie Freeman at first base in time for the out. “I couldn’t get it with the glove so I had to make a little dive at it,” Newcomb said. “I chipped it a little bit and once I was on the ground I was able to get it.” Asked to describe the awkward toss to Freeman, Newcomb said: “I just had to get it toward the bag.” Braves manager Brian Snitker said Newcomb “was just fighting like heck to make a play.” Newcomb, who is 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, has struggled with control problems but has a 3.31 ERA over his last six starts. “I love the way he competes,” Snitker said. “It’s not perfect, but he doesn’t ever give in and his stuff is live. … There’s a lot there to like.” Cincinnati also left the bases loaded in the fifth, when Newcomb ended the inning on Scott Schebler’s fly ball to shallow center field. The Braves led 2-0 before the big fifth against Reds reliever Drew Storen. Atlanta scored four runs in the inning before Storen got his first out. Brandon Phillips singled and moved to third on Freeman’s ground-rule double. An intentional walk to Nick Markakis loaded the bases before Flowers’ homer to left field. Phillips and Freeman each had three hits. The Reds were denied their first series sweep in Atlanta since 2009. Storen gave up six runs while getting only two outs. Phillip Ervin’s runscoring single off Max Fried in the ninth ended the Braves’ bid for a combined shutout. Luis Castillo (2-6) gave up two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings. It was the shortest of the rookie’s 12 starts with the Reds. “They were able to foul off a lot of good pitches,” Castillo said. “I went out there and didn’t have my best stuff and just competed.” Trainer’s room Reds SS Zack Cozart was held out for the second straight day after he was hit by a pitch on his left shin Friday night. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said he is “optimistic” Cozart can return Tuesday following Monday’s off day. Price said Cozart is “still quite sore.” Remember me? Phillips had two of his three hits , both singles, in the fifth against his former teammates. He scored two runs and drove in a run. He has at least one hit and a run scored in six straight games and is hitting .290. He also has impressed Snitker with his “unbelievable” defense since moving to third base to clear a spot for Albies. “It’s so relaxing just to have him over there,” Snitker said. Grand record Flowers’ grand slam was the ninth allowed by Reds pitchers this season, setting a team record. Up next Reds: RHP Homer Bailey (4-6, 8.44 ERA) is scheduled to make his second straight start against the Cubs on Tuesday after giving up six runs over 5 2/3 innings in a 7-6 loss Wednesday. �2B Tuesday, August 22, 2017 Can JT Barrett pass better for Ohio State? COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Can Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett become a better passer? That’s the overarching question at preseason training camp as the fifth-year star works with yet another new offensive coordinator and position coach. Barrett arguably is the best quarterback to ever play at Ohio State, but his issues with accuracy and decision-making — along with inconsistent play from receivers and the offensive line — contributed to the team’s failings in big games last year, especially the 31-0 loss to Clemson in the playoffs. New quarterbacks coach Ryan Day was assigned to work with Barrett on accuracy, placement of passes and throwing into coverage. Ohio State practices are closed to media, but those who have watched Barrett in preseason camp note his improvement. “His accuracy and just his energy level right now is incredible,” coach Urban Meyer said. “He’s providing that energy for everybody. He’s always done that, but I can tell that he’s got complete ownership of everything going on in that offense.” Barrett has been working with Day on taking more risks and trying to give receivers a chance to get their hands on the ball, instead of tucking and running when nobody appears to be open. Barrett was sent on the run a lot last year when protection broke down. His receivers are mostly unproven but are expected to be better. “Those guys are not going to always be just wide open, so you have to give them the opportunity to touch the ball,” Barrett said. “Sometimes they’re going to have to make some catches for you, and there are going to be some ugly throws and it’s not going to be perfect, but the simple fact is that you allow those guys to touch the ball and let have a chance to go make plays.” Barrett passed for 2,555 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2016 and also ran for 845 yards. While the latter number is impressive, his carries often resulted from him scrambling to make something out of nothing. Meyer wants to rely less on Barrett’s feet. “That’s not an indication things are going well,” Meyer said. Day, who last worked as an NFL assistant for the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles, likes Barrett’s progress. “I’m proud of the command he’s had of the offense and the quick decision-making he’s shown in practice,” Day said. “The ball’s coming out of his hand quickly, he’s confident in what he’s doing, his eyes are right. So the ball’s coming out on time right now, and you can tell that he has a rhythm about him when he’s playing the position.” The 22-year-old Texan’s name is all over Ohio State record books. He holds all-time marks for career pass completions, touchdowns, passing yards per game, total offense and touchdowns responsible for. This season he’s expected to become the school’s leader in passing yards. He’s 26-4 as a starter. But college football’s collective memory is short. The last anybody saw of Barrett was him leading the floundering Ohio State offense against Clemson. Over the winter, fans on social media and talk radio wanted to push him aside and give backup Joe Burrow — or even heralded true freshman Tate Martell — a chance. To his teammates, that suggestion couldn’t be more ridiculous. “People try to be down on him, but he’s such a good dude, a good QB,” receiver Johnnie Dixon said. “He’s a hard worker so I don’t understand that sometimes….I think it’s bizarre, because you see J.T. and yeah, he’s got every record in the book, but at the end of the day that never gets to his head. He’s a worker.” NBA investigating Lakers for tampering NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA is investigating whether the Los Angeles Lakers tampered with All-Star forward Paul George while he was under contract with the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers asked the league to open the probe. “The Lakers have been cooperative and, at this point, no findings have been made,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said Sunday in a statement. “We have asked both teams to refrain from commenting while the investigation is ongoing.” There is no known timetable for the completion of the investigation being conducted by the New York law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. George is a four-time All-Star and Los Angeles native who was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder this offseason. The Pacers traded him after George told them he planned to leave Indiana as a free agent next summer. Devils From page 1B Wayne (260) and Gallia Academy (261). Spring Valley was ninth with a 269, followed by OVC member Chesapeake at 290. Cabell-Midland C shot a 331, as Fairland is also a member of the OVC. Dransfeld was the medalist runner-up with a two-over-par 73, as Rock Hill’s only golfer —Logan Reed —placed third with a 75. Prine, Dransfeld and Reed were joined on the all-tournament team by Queen with a 77, Andy Michael of CabellMidland with a 77, and Garrett Ballway of Parkersburg with a 76. The Blue Devils return to action on Wednesday when they travel to face Fairland. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 SPORTS Daily Sentinel For Briles and others, FAU is a second chance BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Lane Kiffin is the head coach at LSU. No, not that one. Kiffin is still the coach at Florida Atlantic, which has a roster — and coaching staff — featuring many people who have encountered more than a few problems along their various circuitous routes to Boca Raton. So on Sunday at the Owls’ annual preseason media day, Kiffin revealed that he’s given FAU a new moniker. “We’re LSU,” Kiffin said. “Know what that is? Last Strike U.” Kendal Briles surely seems like he’s appreciating his second chance. Briles is now the offensive coordinator at FAU, which approved his hiring even though he was part of the Baylor staff when that program was rocked by a sexual assault scandal. The enormity of the problems there ultimately led to his father, Art Briles, being fired as Baylor’s head coach, and tattered the entire university’s reputation. And when Baylor hired Matt Rhule to take over after last season, Kendal Briles was not retained. Enter FAU, with that second-chance opportunity. “I needed a job,” Kendal Briles said. “I’ve got three kids. I like to have work. So yeah, this intrigued me coming out here, for sure.” He won’t talk about what happened at Baylor, saying only that he’s looking forward and focused on this season. A book written by two ESPN reporters about the scandal is expected to be released this week, and he had no comment on that either. The Briles-Kiffin relationship is interesting on so many levels. Kiffin was a successful offensive coordinator under Nick Saban at Alabama for the last three seasons, and Briles ran what was a powerful offense at Baylor for the last two. To get Briles to come to Boca Raton — both he and Kiffin said other schools were wooing him — Kiffin had to concede play-calling duties. They barely knew each other before aligning at FAU, and so far Kiffin has stayed true to his word about letting Briles be the sole playcaller. “He’s completely stepped out of it,” Briles said. Said Kiffin: “This was somebody that I felt I could do that with. It has been really good from the standpoint of doing the other stuff, the CEO stuff.” There’s no question that Briles can effectively coach. He’s been honored multiple times for his work in recruiting, and the Bears featured an extremely high-octane offense during his time calling the plays in Waco. In Briles’ 27 games as offensive coordinator there, Baylor averaged 570 yards and 41 points. He thinks FAU is capable of similar success. “I would assume all that is realistic,” Briles said. “I don’t care if we score three points and win the football game. That’s all I care about.” Briles is hardly the only person getting a fresh start at FAU. Kiffin’s roster includes a slew of players — some of them were on their way to Boca Raton before he was hired — who found trouble at other schools, most notably quarterback De’Andre Johnson. When he was at Florida State, Johnson was captured on surveillance video punching a woman at a bar. He was kicked off the team, ended up at East Mississippi Community College and was one of the primary subjects in the Netflix series “Last Chance U” — which chronicled that team and the career-revival attempts of many players who once were with bigtime college programs. “What I did was unacceptable,” Johnson said on the show. Kiffin also hired brother Chris Kiffin to be his defensive coordinator — and, like Briles, he comes from a program that is dealing with a mess. Chris Kiffin has been accused of recruiting violations while he was at Ole Miss, and the NCAA probe into that school is ongoing. “I’m not one bit concerned about that,” Chris Kiffin said. Chris and Lane Kiffin have their father, the longtime defensive coach Monte Kiffin, around them every day as part of the FAU staff. Kendal Briles has his father involved as well, albeit in an unofficial manner. Art Briles, Kendal Briles said, has taken a look at the FAU offense and offered his advice and assessment from time to time. The former Baylor coach has not, however, been directly involved with the team or been on campus. “He’s a football coach,” Kendal Briles said. “That’s all he’s ever been. So he’s definitely involved and we talk daily.” 3 Chiefs throw TD passes in win over Bengals CINCINNATI (AP) — Rookie Patrick Mahomes threw a pair of touchdown passes, solidifying his spot as the Chiefs’ primary backup, and three Kansas City quarterbacks threw for a score on Saturday night during a 30-12 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Kansas City (1-1) got a lot to like out of its offense overall and its top pick in particular. Mahomes moved into the role of Alex Smith’s backup a week ago and was smooth against the Bengals (1-1), who chased him from the pocket but couldn’t stop his accurate on-the-move throws. Mahomes, the 10th overall pick from Texas Tech, was 10 of 14 for 88 yards with touchdowns of 1 and 7 yards . “Of course I always love a touchdown throw,” Mahomes said. “That’s the big thing, getting the ball in the end zone. I just tried to go in there and do what Alex was doing.” The Chiefs scored on each of their first five possessions for a 30-9 lead. Smith was 8 of 9 for 83 yards with a TD , and Tyler Bray threw an 18-yard touchdown on his first play. “Patrick had some nice plays, and Tyler had a nice shot right at the beginning,” coach Andy Reid said. Kansas City piled up 410 yards, including 228 rushing. Charcandrick West ran for 113 yards on only seven carries. The Bengals had to settle for a pair of field goals during Andy Dalton’s three possessions. He was 7 of 13 for 98 yards with one sack. “We moved the ball really well,” Dalton said. “We have to make a play when we’re down there.” Cincinnati’s kicking competition remained all even. Randy Bullock and Jake Elliott have made all of their attempts in two games. Bullock connected from 47 and 26 yards on Saturday, while Elliott was good from 32 and 39 yards. ROOKIE WATCH Chiefs: Third-round pick Kareem Hunt got a chance to show his versatility in his home state. He was limited to one carry and one catch in the preseason opener. On Saturday, he was the featured running back on the first two drives. Hunt had 8 carries for 40 yards and 3 catches for 23 yards. Hunt is Toledo’s all- time leading rusher and had a lot of family and friends at Paul Brown Stadium. “Honestly it kind of felt like a homecoming for me,” he said. “It meant a great deal to come here and play the way I did.” Bengals: Top draft pick John Ross was held out of a second straight preseason game as he recovers from shoulder surgery. He was cleared to fully practice on Monday. … Second-round pick Joe Mixon carried five times for 13 yards. was sidelined again with a heel injury. Bengals: S Shawn Williams hurt his right elbow in the second quarter and was taken off the field on a cart. … RB Giovani Bernard sat out a second straight preseason game as he recovers from a torn ACL. ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT The Chiefs had scoring drives of 80, 46, 75, 80 and 18 yards on their first five drives, but Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said it wasn’t necessarily all bad for the defense. “That’s good for those guys to have to play that way,” Lewis said. “If we go in there and stop them too early and they think they should come out, and they don’t have their wind and aren’t ready for the regular season.” NOTHING BUT NET Chiefs TE Demetrius Harris had a pair of touchdown catches. After the second one, he celebrated by stopping as if he were at the free-throw line and shooting the ball toward the sideline. INJURIES Chiefs: TE Travis Kelce missed the preseason opener with a sore knee but practiced during the week and had one catch for 26 yards. S Eric Berry TAKE THAT Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict leveled RB Anthony Sherman with a high hit to the chest on a passing play in the first quarter. STILL KICKING Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos was out again with a groin injury. Sam Ficken, signed to fill in while he heals, made a 23-yard field goal, but was wide right on one of his extra-point attempts. UP NEXT The Chiefs play at Seattle on Friday. The Bengals play at Washington next Sunday. AP SPORTS BRIEFS Boldin turns focus from NFL to bridging racial divisions ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Anquan Boldin says a violent, racially charged protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, caused him to re-assess his priorities and led to the Buffalo Bills receiver’s decision to retire after 14 NFL seasons. In interview Monday on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Boldin said he’s “uncomfortable” with how divided the nation is and wants to dedicate his entire focus to humanitarian and criminal justice work. Boldin spoke a day after abruptly informing the Bills he was retiring a little under two weeks after signing a one-year contract. Saying it wasn’t a “flyby-night decision,” Boldin says he gradually came to the realization that his off-the-field work outweighed football. The NFL’s 2015 Walter Payton Man of the Year, Boldin oversees the South Florida-based Q81 Foundation, which offers educational support for underprivileged children. He has become an advocate for criminal justice reform since his cousin was killed by a plain-clothes police officer along the side of a Florida highway in October 2015. LSU officially has new live tiger mascot on campus BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana State University officially has a new live tiger mascot on its campus. The tiger arrived in Baton Rouge last week, coming from a rescue facility in Okeechobee, Florida. The university announced in a statement that the tiger began its “reign” as Mike VII on Monday, the first day of the fall semester.

Jones led the most laps and the rookie believes he needs a victory to lock up his spot in the playoffs. “Erik Jones put up a whale of a fight,” said Busch. “I was running with my tongue hanging out, my arms were Jell-O and my throat hurts.” Busch won for the 40th time in the Cup Series, sixth time at Bristol in Cup, and second time this season. All told, he’s won 20 times across NASCAR’s national series at the Tennessee bullring. Jones settled for second, one spot short of his first career victory. He led a race-high 260 laps and felt it had been his best chance to date to win a Cup race. He was admittedly disappointed to fall a spot short. “You don’t want to sound like you’re whining or being a sore loser by saying it sucks to run second, but it’s a bummer. It hurts,” Jones said. “This was the first shot that I really had to come really close to it in the Cup Series. It’s Kyle Busch. He won all three races here this weekend.” Jones conceded how difficult it is to beat Busch anywhere, particularly at Bristol. Busch is also Jones’ former boss, and Jones was amazed at Busch’s ability to win three national NASCAR races in four nights. Jones said he’s done a tripleduty weekend before, and “it was something I honestly never want to do again, so I respect him for that.” “He’s a hardcore racer, he really commits himself to that and he does a really good job that he doesn’t let it affect his Cup racing, at all,” Jones said. Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth were third and fourth as Joe Gibbs Racing took the win and two other spots inside the top four, while all four drivers were in Toyotas. Busch passed Jones for the lead with 55 laps remaining as the track changed and the top lane became the preferable spot. Jones’ car didn’t handle as well in that area, and he had Busch and Kenseth all over his bumper. It was Busch who moved from third to first, but Jones didn’t relent. He chased Kenseth after Kenseth moved into second, but Jones ultimately gouged Kenseth out of his way. It put Jones in the middle of a weird JGR sandwich. In front of him, Busch, the driver who launched Jones’ career and future teammate, and Kenseth, the guy Jones is replacing next season who is looking for 2018 employment. Hamlin eventually took position from Kenseth, but it was so obviously a night for Toyota. Martin Truex Jr. finished 21st and did not clinch the regular-season title. AWKWARD: Jones has already been announced as Kenseth’s replacement, and Kenseth sounded postrace like a driver who might be in his final year. So it could have been weird when the two were seated next to each other in a postrace news conference. Instead, Kenseth was in a great mood and cracked jokes about Jones bumping him during the race. “Didn’t remember. Shouldn’t Muguruza, Dimitrov get their 1st Cincy titles MASON, Ohio (AP) — Garbine Muguruza cradled her smiling face in both hands and closed her eyes, taking it all in. The Wimbledon champion had added another title to her breakthrough summer — this one at the expense of a player who can’t quite get to No. 1. Muguruza defeated Simona Halep 6-1, 6-0 for her first Western & Southern Open title on Sunday, needing only 56 minutes to extend her run of success. She also denied Halep yet another chance to move up to No. 1 in the WTA rankings. “Honestly, I was thinking in her situation, it must be difficult,” Muguruza said. “But I wanted to win the title as well.” On the men’s side, seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov beat Nick Kyrgios 6-3, 7-5 for his first ATP Masters title, emerging from a bracket decimated by injuries to top players. Muguruza won her first title in the U.S. and her second of the year, along with Wimbledon. In three tournaments since, the Spaniard has at least reached the quarterfinals. Now it’s on to New York for the U.S. Open, where she’s got a history of disappointment. “The tough matches never go my way, so I want to change that,” she said. “I want to find the recipe this year.” It was a big disappointment for Halep — the third time this season that she needed one more win to move up to No. 1 and couldn’t get it. She came up just short at the French Open and Wimbledon, and had it in the back of her mind the last few weeks. Perhaps that had something to do with the poor showing. “Maybe I feel the pressure and I don’t realize it,” Halep said. “Maybe I just played bad. I don’t know what to say. But it’s still there. I still have a chance, so I will work for it and maybe one day it will be there.” John Minchillo | AP Garbine Muguruza, of Spain, reacts after defeating Simona Halep, of Romania, in the women’s singles final at the Western & Southern Open Sunday in Mason, Ohio. Muguruza won 6-1, 6-0. Halep also finished as the runner-up at Cincinnati in 2015, losing to Serena Williams. She brought a lot of momentum into this final title match. The Romanian is fully healed from a knee injury that limited her early in the season, and she didn’t lose a set all week until Sunday, when she was never in the match. Kenseth puts on brave face after coming up short BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — It could have gotten very uncomfortable as Erik Jones and Matt Kenseth sat side-by-side shortly after an intriguing race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Both drivers wanted to win for very different reasons, both came up short , then circumstances put them together in a post-race news conference. Jones, the rookie, was seeking his first Cup Series victory Saturday night. He wound up second to Kyle Busch, his soon-to-be teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing. He started from the pole, led the most laps, and really needed that win to lock him into NASCAR’s playoffs. Kenseth hasn’t won a Cup race in a little over a year and also could use an automatic berth into the playoffs. And, he’s on his way out at Gibbs — perhaps even NASCAR altogether — because Jones has been hired to drive Kenseth’s car next year. So when Jones used his bumper to knock Kenseth out of the preferred driving lane at Bristol, a move that took Kenseth from contention to a fourth-place finish, things could been very awkward after the race. But Kenseth smiled, cracked jokes, ribbed Jones a little bit and assured everyone that everything is just fine. “I don’t really have anything to be unhappy about,” he said. “Things can turn on dime. But my life couldn’t be much better. I’ve never really been in a better place. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. There’s more to life than racing.” Indeed, there is a lot more ahead for Kenseth, a father of four who turned 45 in March. His choices are just limited because of the rapid changing of the guard in NASCAR. Almost overnight, the veterans are being squeezed out of the Cup Series because of the difficult economic climate in racing. Sponsors are very hard to come by, almost every driver needs to find some sort of his funding on his own, and corporate America’s current appetite is to back the young kids just breaking into the sport. That’s fantastic news for car owners, who don’t have to shell out millions in driver salary to a veteran. Kenseth, a two-time Daytona 500 winner and former Cup champion, makes a lot of money. Jones, at just 21 years old, draws a fraction of Kenseth’s salary. So even though he wants to keep driving, is a proven winner, still challenges for victories and is an asset to any race team, there may not be a seat for Kenseth next year. On Saturday night, his use of past tense in discussing his situation, made it sound as if Kenseth knows his days as a full-time driver will end after these final 12 races. “I wish it kind of maybe would have went down a different way or maybe I had another year or two there,” he said. “That’s not the way it worked out. I think everything happens or doesn’t happen for a reason. It will all become clear.” Kenseth is far from alone in this predicament. Stewart-Haas Racing did not pick up the 2018 option for Daytona 500 winner Kurt Busch, and his future with the team will depend on sponsorship. Same goes for Danica Patrick at SHR. Kasey Kahne is looking for a landing spot after Hendrick Motorsports said he’ll be replaced by 19-year-old William Byron, and the ride Jones currently drives for Furniture Row Racing? Well, that could vanish unless one of those free agents can piece together a sponsorship package that makes it economically viable to keep the car running. Even then, a veteran driver must ask himself if its financially worth it to keep racing at a drastically reduced salary. When Juan Pablo Montoya was let go from Chip Ganassi Racing at the end of the 2013 season, the only offers he received in NASCAR were losing propositions. By the time he subtracted his expenses from the proposed salary, those 38 weekends on the road were going to put him at a financial loss for the season. Four years later, the economic correction in NASCAR is now hitting everyone. The wads of money that used to be flying around the garage are gone, and everyone is evaluating their options. For a driver such as Jones, well, that means racing for wins even if it means bumping the guy you are replacing. have brought it up. Now I’m mad,” Kenseth joked. “Takes my ride and runs into me.” But Kenseth really was OK with his situation. “Certainly I wanted to win tonight. I’d be happier if I would have won, but yeah, I’m pretty happy,” he smiled. EARNHARDT’S FAREWELL: Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a terrible weekend in what is being billed as his final stop at Bristol before retirement. He wasn’t a factor in the Xfinity Series race, needed IV’s on Friday night for dehydration, and was an uncompetitive 23rd in the Cup race. “We struggled,” he said. “We’re struggling, gosh, I just don’t know what to do. We were pretty quick for the first 20 laps, passed five cars and then we dropped like a rock. The thing would get so tight and wouldn’t turn.” UP NEXT: NASCAR’s top series is off next weekend for the final break of the season. The Cup Series resumes at Darlington Raceway for the Sept. 3 race that celebrates throwback eras of NASCAR. NFL, Electronic Arts unveil Madden ‘18 competition NEW YORK (AP) — NFL fans and gamers can play their way to the Super Bowl — if they’re good enough at the newest edition of “Madden NFL 18.” Electronic Arts and the NFL on Monday announced they’re teaming up to create an online tournament involving all 32 teams. It makes the NFL the first pro sports league in the U.S. to commit all of its teams to a competitive gaming program, and the first esports competition of this scale taking place this year. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell calls competitive gaming and esports “one of the most exciting ways to engage a larger, younger and digitally savvy NFL audience. EA CEO Andrew Wilson says his company and the NFL are taking their partnership “to an unprecedented level.” Chris Halpin, the NFL’s chief strategy officer and senior vice president for consumer products, says esports competitors generally are young, digitally savvy and difficult to reach via traditional media. “It’s great that they have an affinity for football, but we’ve got to make sure we’re engaging them on the new platforms,” Halpin said. The Madden NFL Club Championship is open to any player with an online account and the game being released Tuesday on Xbox One and Playstation 4. Players will pick their favorite team, then compete online against that team’s other fans — New England Patriots fans will go up against other Patriots fans, for example — with an undetermined number of top players advancing out of that round. Each NFL team then will hold a live event for the top gamers who advanced from the online round. That event could be at the team’s stadium or another landmark in its area. The field will be trimmed to 32 players — one from every NFL team — with those players moving on to the Madden NFL Club Championship Live Finals, a tournament at the Pro Bowl Experience. Those top finishers then advance to play at the Super Bowl Experience in Minnesota, and the winner receives a cash prize and two tickets to the Super Bowl. EA and the NFL ran a similar competition last year on a smaller scale. Halpin said the teams involved “loved it, loved the model,” but one of the criticisms he heard was that “my favorite team’s not in it. “We need all 32 (teams), and for the fans, externally, it makes more sense if every team is represented,” he said. MARK’S PLUMBING & HEATING 1-800-767-4223 Commercial & Residential 60727525 BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Erik Jones really needed to win, and Kyle Busch would have loved to celebrate the first Cup win for the kid he discovered. But this is Bristol Motor Speedway, and Busch practically owns the place. Busch swept the weekend for the second time in his career by winning the Monster Energy Cup Series race Saturday night. He also won in the Truck Series on Wednesday night and the Xfintiy Series on Friday night . He’s the only driver to pull off the sweep, and he also did it in 2010. Busch toyed with the crowd, which had equal cheers and boos, by cupping his ear to the fans who disapproved of the win. “So proud of Rowdy Nation. This one’s for you!” he shouted. And the haters? “I don’t care. All noise is good noise,” he said. He then collected a broom from an onlooker to commemorate the sweep.

(AP) — Will Power masterfully protected the inside line and blocked Josef Newgarden from ever making the decisive pass over the final 10 laps Sunday at Pocono Raceway. Power pumped his fist and celebrated another win that moved him up in the IndyCar record book. His focus soon shifted from the way he held off Newgarden to catching him: Power thrust himself into the IndyCar championship picture and stuck his aim on the series points leader, Newgarden. “I’m going for it,” Power said. Power and Newgarden gave Penske Racing a 1-2 podium finish at Pocono. It could serve as a preview for the final standings. Power’s third win of the season — and second at Pocono in two years — inched him within 42 points of Newgarden for the lead with three races left. Power won the 2014 championship and wasted his bid at a second title last year with disastrous finishes in the final two races. Newgarden has been positioned as IndyCar’s next big thing and had won two straight races, at Toronto and Mid-Ohio, to stake his claim as a legitimate championship contender. “When one car wins, we kind of all win. That’s the way we view it,” Newgarden said. Let’s see what he says after the finale at Sonoma. The 26-year-old Newgarden has some of IndyCar’s top veteran drivers nipping at his No. 2 Chevrolet headed into the series’ return to the Matt Slocum | AP Will Power celebrates after winning the IndyCar auto race at Pocono Raceway Sunday in Long Pond, Pa. Midwest. Newgarden has an 18-point lead over Scott Dixon and a 22-point advantage over Penske teammate Helio Castroneves. Defending series champion and Penke driver Simon Pagenaud is 26 points out of the lead. Power believes he can be the driver who wins it all. He looked every bit a championship driver at Pocono. The Australian rallied from a lap down, forced to pit early in the race to repair a broken wing. Power also won on the road course at Indianapolis and the Texas Motor Speedway oval this season. He has 32 career victories to move into ninth place on IndyCar’s list. Power zipped past Dario Franchitti and Paul Tracy on the list and is two wins shy from catching Al Unser Jr. “It was a seriously dramatic day,” Power said. Power refused to budge when Newgarden tried to dart his way toward the lead. Power knew if Newgarden could maneuver his way inside, the race was over. “Just had to be smart, be in the game at the end, and that was the result,” Power said. Power was familiar with big moves down the stretch at Pocono; he held Mikhail Aleshin at bay after a final restart to win at the track last year. He became the first IndyCar repeat race win- Did you miss the news? /LHY�SVJHS�[OV\NO[Z�HUK�WLYZWLJ[P]LZ� [OLYL�^LYL¯¯� ����Local Photos ����Local Names Know what’s going on in your community. .,;�@6<9�:<):*907;065 ���� ������ 60732500 ner at the track. Newgarden knew he had little room to seriously test Power. “From a points standpoint, you don’t want to wreck your teammate and you don’t want to give up where I’m at,” Newgarden said. “It’s a Team Penske victory. I’m disappointed for not winning but I can’t be disappointed from a points standpoint. We had everything we needed.” Newgarden’s first season driving for Roger Penske has already been a massive success. The Tennessee native has tried to promote IndyCar in every avenue and is one of the few 20-something stars the sport can bank on to lead it into the future. Stamping himself a champion would be the ultimate reward. “This championship is going to be very difficult to win because there’s not a lot of guys messing up,” Newgarden said. “Pagenaud is consistently in the top 5, so he doesn’t make mistakes. Will is very strong, Helio, Scott. It’s not going to be easy. I think it’ll come down to Sonoma regardless of whatever happens the next few races. Alexander Rossi, the 2016 Indianapolis 500 champion, was third. Other items of note at Pocono: Hunter-Reay returns Ryan Hunter-Reay was cleared to drive following a violent accident during qualifying that sent him to the hospital. HunterReay lost control of his Honda on Saturday and slammed into the wall. He hurt his hip and knees in the wreck and needed a CT scan and MRI. Hunter-Reay, the 2014 Indianapolis 500 winner, was treated and released from the hospital Saturday night. He was evaluated Sunday morning and cleared to drive by the IndyCar medical director. “It’s like a relationship; you’ve got to build your trust back up with the car,” Hunter-Reay said. His last win came at Pocono in 2015. He led the race around the halfway point and finished eighth on Sunday. “The fact that I could race today was unreal,” he said. New leader There were a whopping 43 lead changes at Pocono. Up next IndyCar hits the St. Louis area for its return race at Gateway Motorsports Park. The openwheel CART series ran races there from 19972000 and IndyCar (Indy Racing League) was there from 2001-2003. The defending winner? Helio Castroneves. Tony Kanaan and Scott Dixon also competed in the Aug. 10, 2003 race. Clemson’s Doc Redman makes big late rally to win US Amateur LOS ANGELES (AP) — Doc Redman stood over a 60-foot eagle putt on the 35th hole of the U.S. Amateur final, his hand in his pocket as usual. One hole earlier, he missed a 4-footer to fall two holes behind with two to play, and his championship chances probably rested on this long, tricky shot. And if the 19-year-old sophomore from Clemson felt even a bit of that pressure, Redman never showed it while he holed that daunting putt and made an incredible comeback to win. “I didn’t even think about it, really,” Redman said. “All that was going through my head was about making the putt and putting a good stroke on it. Honestly, I was just (thinking), ‘You’re going to make this. You’re going to make this.’ And it worked out well.” Redman rallied past Doug Ghim and won on the first extra hole Sunday, claiming the Havemeyer Trophy in the 117th edition of the Amateur. After Redman gave away his own lead with eight holes to play, Ghim was on the verge of victory with two holes left in the two-round final at Riviera Country Club. But Redman capped his phenomenal putting day by making that 60-footer and following with a short, tricky birdie putt on the 36th hole to force overtime. “I always have a lot of confidence from mid-range,” said Redman, who puts his hand in his pocket before his stroke as part of his putting routine. “When I see one go in, I definitely get big eyes and I know I can make anything.” Ghim put his tee shot in the rough and his second shot in the sand on the extra hole — Riviera’s famed 10th. After Ghim’s bogey putt missed, he conceded the hole and the title to Redman. “It was a chess match, except your golf ball isn’t moving like a pawn should on the board,” Ghim said. The 62nd-seeded Redman followed a thoroughly improbable route to become the second Clemson player to win the Amateur after Chris Patton in 1989. The Raleigh native had a solid freshman year with the Tigers and reached the final of the Western Amateur, but gave little suggestion he was ready to make history at Riviera. Doc — that’s his given name, not a nickname — became the second-lowest seed to win the title since 1985. He is the first champion to advance through the playoff to match play since Steven Fox, the lowest seed ever to win the Amateur at No. 63, did it in 2012. “It’s incredible to add my name to the list of all the incredible champions already, and to have conquered arguably the best field in amateur golf, and a really difficult grind, too,” Redman said. “I beat some of the best players in the world, and I hope this can vault me up into that conversation as well going forward.” Class starts at Clemson on Wednesday, so Redman is headed home to school — but he’ll be right back in LA. Redman and Ghim, a senior at the University of Texas, will be teammates in Walker Cup competition in three weeks at Los Angeles Country Club, where a 10-man team of American amateurs will face a team from Britain and Ireland. Redman also gets a full exemption into the 2018 U.S. Open and the next 10 U.S. Amateurs, and a probable invitation to the Masters along with Ghim. Ghim and Redman advanced comfortably through match play during the week on the famed course in Pacific Palisades. When they began the final under cloudy coastal conditions Sunday morning, they were practically even for the first 30 holes, with neither player taking a lead larger than 2 up. �CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Notices Rentals Want To Buy NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

(AP) — Henrik Stenson kept making birdies on the back nine Sunday at the Wyndham Championship. They added up to a tournament record — and his first victory of the year. Stenson closed with a 6-under 64 for a one-stroke victory in the final event of the PGA Tour regular season. The 2013 FedEx Cup champion finished at 22-under 258 at Sedgefield Country Club, breaking the course’s 72-hole record set by Carl Pettersson in 2008 and matched last year by Si Woo Kim. The Swede earned $1,044,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points for his sixth win on tour and his first since the 2016 British Open. “It’s certainly a good time to start firing,” Stenson said. “We know the kind of damage you can do in the playoffs. … If you get hot and keep on playing well, you have a chance to challenge.” Stenson said he left his driver in his locker all week — “he’s a little anxious to get out there and start getting some air time next week,” he quipped of the club — and certainly didn’t need it on the par-70 Sedgefield course. For the second straight day, he had four birdies in a five-hole stretch of the back nine. Ollie Schniederjans shot a 64 to finish second. Webb Simpson was 18 under after a 67.” “I had to keep on making birdies,” Stenson said, “because Ollie was surely not backing down. Stenson had three consecutive birdies on Nos. 15-17 — leaving a 20-foot eagle putt on the 15th hole about a foot short — after he and Schniederjans were both at 19 under. Stenson’s 30-foot birdie putt on No. 17 moved him to 22 under. He needed it, because Schniederjans kept the pressure on him. The 24-year-old former Georgia Tech player made a 40-foot birdie putt on No. 17 and added another birdie on the par-4 18th hole after placing his second shot 2 feet from the pin. “I thought I had a two-shot cushion … and as I walked over (to the 18th hole and) looked around, ‘Oh, OK, (Schniederjans) birdied it as well,” Stenson said. “So I better scramble a par here to get the win.” With Schniederjans watching the television broadcast and hoping for a tie, Stenson rolled a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 18 off the right edge of the cup, then made a 3-footer to end it. “When I stuffed it (on No. 18), I thought that’s probably going to be a playoff,” Schniederjans said. “And he birdied 17 and got par on 18. Hat’s off to him — he had a great finish, too. Just one short.” Low scores and tight leaderboards once again were the norm at Sedgefield. With seven holes left for the final pairing, four players — Stenson, Schniederjans, Ryan Armour and Kevin Na — shared the lead at 18 under. “It was anyone’s tournament on the back nine,” Stenson said. Stenson moved to 19 under with a birdie on the 13th and Schniederjans joined him with a remarkable recovery for birdie on the 15th. His second shot careened off a canopy covering the gallery and landed in a greenside bunker, but he chipped to 2 feet of the flagstick and converted the putt. The other subplot at Sedgefield was the push by the bubble players to qualify for the playoffs that start next week at The Northern Trust for the top 125 on the points list. Geoff Ogilvy, who was at No. 125, finished at 11 under and earned enough points to move to No. 116. And Martin Flores, who started at No. 139, jumped to No. 118 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2014 after a 63 highlighted by a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th. J.J. Henry, Harold Varner III and Rory Sabbatini also played their way into the top 125. “I was very aware of where I was all day but I knew that I needed to be somewhere inside the top 10, have to,” Flores said. “So I was able to get off to a great start and I was able to just keep it going all day.” DIVOTS: Ben Crane was the first player this week to ace the 16th hole, earning 1 million rewards points from the tournament’s title sponsor. “Billy Horschel and I did a lot of choreography work beforehand and nailed it, did the right high fives,” Crane said about his post-ace celebration. Tuesday, August 22, 2017 7B Raisman: USA Gymnastics needs change ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Aly Raisman is ready to talk about “the elephant in the room.” And the six-time Olympic medal-winning gymnast thinks it’s time USA Gymnastics joins in a conversation she feels is long overdue. The 23-year-old is calling for sweeping change in the organization in the wake of dozens of allegations of sexual abuse by former national team doctor Larry Nassar, a scandal that has left one of the U.S. Olympic movement’s marquee programs scrambling and Raisman shaken. Nassar spent nearly 30 years as an osteopath with the USA Gymnastics program and is now in prison in Michigan after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography. He is awaiting trial on separate criminal sexual conduct charges, in addition to being sued by more than 125 women who claim he sexually assaulted them under the guise of treatment. Nassar has pleaded not guilty to the assault charges, and the dozens of civil suits filed in Michigan are currently in mediation . Raisman, who was around Nassar regularly at the team’s training facility in Texas and at meets around the globe, declined to talk about whether she was treated improperly by Nassar. She did agree to speak more generally, calling Nassar “a monster” and blaming USA Gymnastics for failing to stop him and spending too much of the fallout attempting to “sweep it under the rug.” “I feel like there’s a lot of articles about it, but nobody has said, ‘This is horrible, this is what we’re doing to change,’” Raisman said in a wideranging interview Saturday shortly after she and other members of the “Final Five” that won team gold at the 2016 Olympics were inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame. Raisman served as a captain for both the “Final Five” and the “Fierce Five” that won gold in London in 2012. While several alleged Nassar victims have come forward, including 2000 Olympic bronze medalist Jamie Dantzscher, Raisman is the highest profile athlete yet to publicly reprimand the organization. Raisman said she kept quiet waiting after the initial allegations surfaced last summer, waiting for USA Gymnastics to own up to its mistakes. While it is taking steps toward creating a safer environment for its athletes, she doesn’t believe it is doing nearly enough openly enough, adding that she feels USA Gymnastics is trying to get on with business as usual. “What people don’t realize is that this doctor was a doctor for 29 years,” Raisman. “Whether or not he did it to a gymnast, they still knew him. Even if he didn’t do it to you, it’s still the trauma and the anxiety of wondering what could have happened. I think that needs to be addressed. These girls, they should be comfortable going to USA Gymnastics and saying: ‘I need help, I want therapy. I need this.’” USA Gymnastics launched an independent review of its policies in the wake of the allegations against Nassar and reporting by the Indianapolis Star that highlighted chronic mishandling of abuse allegations against coaches and staff at some of its more than 3,500 clubs across the country. In June, the federation immediately adopted 70 recommendations proffered by Deborah Daniels, a former federal prosecutor who oversaw the review. The new guidelines require member gyms to go to authorities immediately, with Daniels suggesting USA Gymnastics consider withholding membership from clubs that decline to do so. The organization also named Toby Stark, a child welfare advocate, as its director of SafeSport. Part of Stark’s mandate is educating members on rules, educational programs, reporting and adjudication services. USA Gymnastics said in a statement late Saturday it welcomes Raisman’s passion, adding it’s “appalled” by the accusations against Nassar. “We are taking this issue head-on, and we want to work with Aly and all interested athletes to keep athletes safe,” USA Gymnastics said. Daniels said repeatedly when her review was published that she wasn’t hired to make judgments on past missteps, something that doesn’t fly with Raisman. She pointed to the reported $1 million severance package given to former president Steve Penny after he resigned under pressure in March as proof that the organization just doesn’t get it. “I thought, ‘Wow, why couldn’t they create a program?’” Raisman said. “A million dollars is a lot of money. They could do a lot of things to create change. They could create a program. They could even contact all the families that have come forward and say. ‘Can we help your kid with therapy?’” Lynn Raisman, Aly’s mother, said USA gymnastics needs to “get rid of the people who knew and looked the other way.” Raisman has used her celebrity and extensive social media reach as a platform to promote positive body image and anti-bullying. She’s currently living in Needham, Massachusetts, working on an autobiography due out in November while weighing whether to take a shot at the 2020 Games. Either way, she wants USA Gymnastics to evolve and stressed there’s a difference between her criticism of USA Gymnastics and the sport as a whole. The sport is fine. She loves gymnastics. It’s the parent organization that needs to undergo a transformation. And she’s clear on the message she wants it to send. “Everyone is important,” Raisman said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re the Olympic champion or you’re an 8-year-old that goes to gymnastics in Ohio, or wherever you are in the U.S. Every single kid is important and I want USA Gymnastics to do a better job with that.” US in turmoil a year after Kaepernick’s protest By Janie Har and Jesse J.

Cutler was out of work — like Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III, and others — and planned to work as a television analyst before the Dolphins reunited him with coach Adam Gase. “Either some owners and/or the NFL are punishing him for speaking out, or they’ve decided that it’s best for business to sweep these valid issues under the rug in order not to upset fans who, in our opinion, don’t have a valid reason to be upset about Colin Kaepernick being on their team,” said Tim Clark, who is organizing boycotts of all 32 teams for the NFL’s regular season opener. Color of Change, an online civil rights organization, flooded Baltimore Ravens headquarters with telephone calls when the team didn’t quickly sign him as it openly considered options to react to an injury. The Los Angeles chapter of the National Action Network, which demonstrated over the weekend, says it will boycott the Rams and Chargers games at Memorial Coliseum. A change.org petition calling for a season-long boycott of the NFL has collected more than 170,000 signatures. “We understand the NFL is very important to you. We also understand the purpose of Colin Kaepernick’s pro- test is FAR more important than any games you will ever watch,” the petition said. Elie Mystal, an editor at the “Above the Law” legal commentary website, agreed with the proposed boycotts. “Kaepernick doesn’t have a job because he spoke out about race,” Mystal said. “That’s the thing you’re not allowed to do in our sporting culture and most of our popular culture, unless you’re so over-the-top talented that they need you for winning.” Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat during the anthem while Rams defensive end Robert Quinn raised his right fist during Saturday’s game between the two teams. Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, Martellus Bennett’s brother, sat during the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” for the second straight week on Friday. He was joined by two teammates standing by him. Bennett said the death of a young woman protesting white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, underscored his decision. “First of all, I want people to understand I love the military. My father was in the military. I love hot dogs like any other American. I love football like any other American, but I don’t love segregation,” he said. “I don’t love riots. I don’t love oppression. I don’t love gender slander.” �SPORTS/WEATHER 8B Tuesday, August 22, 2017 Daily Sentinel Rookie Conner stars in Steelers’ 17-13 win over Falcons because of multiple violations of the league’s substance abuse policy. Bryant, who is still in the process of being fully reinstated by the league, remains suspended, but is permitted to participate in all preseason activities - including practices and games. Steelers rookie Josh Dobbs targeted Bryant on the first play of the game, but the offense sputtered with consecutive three-and-outs. Dobbs, a fourth-round pick, was 10 of 19 for 70 yards with an interception. Bryant, who had two catches for 20 yards, later fumbled an endaround, but made up for it with a 23-yard reception on a drive that ended with a field goal. Tevin Coleman got the start at running back for the Falcons with Devonta Freeman previously ruled out with a concussion. But the Falcons’ primary backfield focus was the competition for the third running back spot. Terron Ward, who ran for 48 yards against Miami, was strong again Sunday. He finished with nine carries for 37 yards and a touchdown. Ward ran for 151 yards in five games last season. Fifth-round pick Brian Hill rushed for 14 yards on seven carries. The former Wyoming product player also struggled in the team’s first preseason game against Miami, gaining 10 yards on nine carries. Falcons first-round pick Takkarist McKinley made his NFL debut.

He showed in his Pittsburgh Steelers debut Sunday that he plans to stick around for a while. The rookie running back from the University of Pittsburgh broke off runs of 17 and 19 yards, leading to Bart Houston’s go-ahead, 6-yard touchdown pass to Justin Hunter in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh’s 17-13 exhibition victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Conner was greeted with an ovation on the third series of the game when he made his first carry. The third-round pick busted off three other runs longer than 10 yards and had 98 yards rushing on 20 carries. “With all the runs, I was getting more comfortable,” Conner said. “We kept ripping off big ones.” Matt Ryan led the Falcons to a touchdown in his only series and finished 4 of 6 for 57 yards. In two series during the preseason, Ryan, the 2016 NFL’s Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year, has gone 6 of 8 for 88 yards with a touchdown and a 123.6 passer rating. Pittsburgh receiver Martavis Bryant played his first game more than 18 months. The NFL suspended Bryant in March 2016 for a second violation of its substance abuse policy. He also opened the 2015 season with a four-game suspension � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
