Sheriff Keith Wood reported his department responded to a 4:01 p.m. emergency call from a Leading Creek Road resident, indicating a male at a nearby mower repair shop was demanding money with a fire- arm. The man, later identified as Stewart, fled the scene upon arrival of law enforcement. Before being taken into custody, Stewart pointed a handgun at the Meigs deputies while making the escape attempt, and a deputy discharged their weapon though the suspect was not struck, according to the Sheriff’s office. Statements taken from mower shop employees indicate the suspect fired a shot at them. The Middleport Police Department assisted with the arrest, and Stewart is being held at the Middleport Jail. Wood shared that Gallia County had brought their K-9 unit Stewart earlier in the day to track the suspect and that his deputies had gone door to door to let people know what was happening. “We wanted to give them a heads up,” he said. “It is our responsibility to protect the community.” Shortly after the emergency call, a press release seeking information on the whereabouts of Stewart identified him as 20 years old, 6’ 2 and 170 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes, and wanted for grand theft in Meigs County and with felony warrants in Gallia County. The Sheriff’s Department, concerned the suspect had a firearm in his possession, had advised the public not to approach Stewart if sighted and instead contact law enforcement immediately. “Everyone worked really hard, we had a lot of support from law enforcement agencies around the area, we feel fortunate about how everything turned out and that no one was injured,” Wood said after the arrest. “I am really proud of my officers, they have worked very hard to train and prepare for these types of situations. The county should be proud of them, they are always looking out for the safety of our residents.” National Immunization Awareness month Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — The beginning of school is just weeks away, and that means getting supplies, new clothes and back packs. It’s also the perfect time to make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccines against rare, but serious diseases. To emphasize the importance of immunizations for everyone, and to make sure that children in particular are protected with all of the vaccines they need, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is joining the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month. “Getting children all of the vaccines recommended by CDC’s immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children’s health and that of classmates and the community,” said ODH Medical Director Dr. Mary DiOrio. “If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to check with your doctor to find out what vaccines your child needs, and when.” Unvaccinated children are at increased risk for contracting vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, mumps and rubella. They also may spread diseases which are serious or potentially life-threatening for high-risk individuals such as infants who are too young to be fully vaccinated and others who have weakened immune systems due to other health conditions. Beginning with the Fall 2016 school year, a new meningococcal vaccine requirement takes effect under Ohio Law. All incoming seventh graders must have one dose of the meningococcal vaccine, and all incoming twelfth graders must have a second dose of the vaccine. CDC also says that it is recommended routinely for some high risk individuals and that it may also be given to anyone 16 through 23 years of age to provide short term protection against most strains of serogroup B meningococcal disease as a permissive recommendation. More information on the meningococcal vaccine requirements can be found at http://www.odh.ohio.gov/ odhprograms/bid/immunization/imunchsc.aspx. The American Academy of Pediatrics, Ohio Chapter (Ohio AAP) and ODH suggest parents download the free “Fast Vax Facts” app, available in the App Store and on Google Play. “Fast Vax Facts” is a new app featuring valuable, pediatrician-approved immunization resources for parents and guardians. A link to the App can be found at www.OhioAAP.org/FVF. ODH has also started a new back to school public awareness campaign. The campaign features radio and television ads that you can hear across the state. Parents should check with their child’s doctor, school or the local health department to learn more about specific requirements.

Loans offered for ‘economic injury’ Staff Report POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Losses from the June flood have resulted in the U.S. Small Business Administration offering low-interest loans to those suffering economic injury, with Mason County included in the eligibility area. This week, Adrianne LaNeave with the SBA Office of Disaster Assistance, met with Mason County Economic Development Authority Director John Musgrave about these loans available for those small businesses that may still suffer from an economic loss as a result of the June flooding. Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) are working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period. When specifically talking about EIDL, the law limits EIDLs to $2,000,000 for alleviating economic injury caused by the disaster. The actual amount of each loan is limited to the economic injury determined by SBA, less business interruption insurance and other recoveries up to the administrative lending limit. EIDL assistance is available only to entities and their owners who cannot provide for their own recovery from non-government sources, as determined by the U.S. Small Busi- ness Administration. LaNeave said the SBA has approved 483 SBA disaster loans totaling $31,729,000 across the State of West Virginia. Most of these approvals are for homeowners who are repairing or rebuilding their homes. She added, while this number will continue to rise until well past the deadline it is important that anyone who has been referred to the SBA from FEMA should complete and return their applications as soon as possible. The final day for SBA Physical Disaster Loan Applications for Individuals and Businesses is Aug. 24, 2016 and March 27, 2017 for small businesses suffering from an economic injury.

Boys enter plea to misdemeanor in school shooting HAMILTON (AP) — Two Ohio students accused of failing to report that a classmate brought a loaded gun to school before he opened fire in the cafeteria have entered pleas in juvenile court. The students entered “true” pleas Tuesday in Butler County Juvenile Court in Hamilton to misdemeanor charges of failure to report a crime. The judge said their pleas mean they relinquish their rights to a trial. They are to be sentenced Oct. 19. The boys were charged after investigators determined they knew 15-year-old James Austin Hancock brought the gun to Madison Local Schools near Middletown. Two students were wounded by gunfire in the Feb. 29 shooting, and two others were hurt by shrapnel or while running away. Hancock entered a true plea in April to four counts of attempted murder and inducing panic. He was sentenced to juvenile detention until he is 21 years old, when he will be free if he stays out of trouble. It’s not clear what his motive was. He said before sentencing that he wanted the victims to know they weren’t targeted. Rob Clevenger, director of the Butler County Juvenile Justice Center, said Wednesday the two boys face a range of sentencing options. The possibilities include a maximum of 90 days in a juvenile detention center, probation, counseling, community service and monetary fines, Clevenger said. The Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News reports that both students will be allowed to return to Madison Local Schools this fall and that their cellphones, confiscated during the criminal investigation, will be returned to them. The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify juveniles charged with a crime, but Hancock’s name was widely reported. David Royal | The Monterey County Herald via AP Firefighters keep a lookout from Sky Ranch off Cachagua Grade as smoke and flames from a back burn light up a ridge to the south in east Carmel Valley, Calif., on Monday. Authorities are seeking whoever lighted the illegal campfire that started the blaza that has consumed more than 71 square miles. Criminal charges are possible in the death of a bulldozer operator killed fighting the fire. Penalties possible for campers in blaze By Kristin J. Bender Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — As officials ask for the public’s help in finding the people who started an illegal campfire that grew into a massive wildfire north of Big Sur, authorities are considering what penalties the campers could face once they are found. The blaze has charred more than 71 square miles, destroyed 57 homes and killed a 35-year-old bulldozer operator when the heavy equipment rolled over. Monterey County Sheriff’s spokesman Cmdr. John Thornburg said those responsible could face criminal charges in the death of Robert Reagan of Fresno County. “Could that death potentially come back on (those responsible)?” Thornburg said. “Maybe.” Whoever started the illegal campfire could also face civil penalties for the cost related to the firefighting. More than 5,500 crews are working the fire that’s threatening 2,000 structures and was only 25 percent contained Wednesday. “It’s one thing if you burn up a tree, it’s another thing if you burn up the forest,” Thornburg said. Fire investigators determined an unattended campfire started the blaze on July 22 in Garapata Park. California State Parks spokesman Dennis Weber said Garapata Park is for day use only and campfires are strictly prohibited. “There are two trailheads and both have ample signage that there is no camping and no campfires allowed,” Weber said. In 2013, Keith Matthew Emerald was charged with starting the Rim Fire. Prosecutors said the deer hunter lost control of an illegal campfire, which burned 400 square miles in Stanislaus National Forest and parts of Yosemite National Park. The fire, one of the largest in recorded state history, destroyed 11 homes and cost more than $125 million to fight. Emerald pleaded not guilty and prosecutors later dropped the case after two key witnesses died. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Erik Scott said the cause of the current fire near Big Sur was determined after investigators spent more than 150 hours combing through debris. No arrests have been made. Thornburg said detectives are following investigative leads and declined to speculate on who might have started the blaze. Five days after the fire started a group of seven men were rescued from the fire. They told authorities they were backcountry hikers but police later speculated they were marijuana growers. A separate group of four walked out of the area earlier and acknowledged growing marijuana. All vegetation burned up in the fire so no evidence remained. There can be severe penalties even when a person accidentally causes a wildfire. Matt Rupp served two years in prison for igniting a fire near Redding by riding a mower over a field of dry grass on a scorching day in 2004. Prosecutors said Rupp ignored neighbor’s warnings and public-service spots on TV and told a passer-by to “Go to hell” when the person spotted Rupp on the mower. That fire destroyed 86 homes in a remote community on the edge of Lake Shasta. He said it was an accident. On Wednesday, Daniel Lee Bentley, 36, was sentenced to two years in prison for starting a wildfire that burned 440 acres in Shasta County last month. He also faces three years parole upon his release and will have to register as a convicted arsonist with the state. He pleaded no contest to the felony arson charge. Scammers, bug spray companies capitalizing on Zika fears By Linda A. Johnson AP Medical Writer TRENTON, N.J. — Worried you might catch the Zika virus? Scammers and bug spray companies are counting on it. Marketers know this is the time to pounce: The summer Olympics are about to start in Brazil, where the recent Zika epidemic started, and 14 mosquito-borne cases of Zika were identified recently in the Miami area, the first in the U.S. So companies and entrepreneurs are capitalizing on Zika fears wherever mosquitoes buzz, hawking questionable products like anti-Zika wristbands and promoting all manner of mosquito repellents for people and pets. “From a marketing point of view, it’s a golden opportunity,” said Jonathan Day, a University of Florida mosquito expert and researcher. In a first for a bugspray, Off! became the official insect repellent supplier for an Olympic Games, and agreed to send 115,000 sprays, spritzers and towelettes to the Rio Olympics.

Both companies are likely to benefit from Zika fears far beyond supplying athletes and fans in Brazil. Pharmacies in New York City, for example, have Off! displays warning consumers to “Repel the mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus.” The tropical mosquito responsible for the Zika epidemic, called Aedes aegypti, is not found in New York, though state health officials still recommend that people use bug spray. Zika is usually spread when the mosquito picks it up by biting an infected person and bites someone else. It is worrying disease, of course, especially for pregnant women. Its symptoms are often so mild that most people don’t know they have it, but it has been found to cause severe birth defects if women are infected while pregnant. Health officials say people in Zika-affected areas should take steps to avoid getting or spreading the disease by wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts and using insect repellent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention specifically mentions brands like Off! and Cutter in its recommendations . Zika can also be transmitted by sex, so the CDC recommends using condoms to prevent spreading the virus if one partner is infected, or might be. In a marketer’s hand, that kind of recommendation turns a condom into a Zika-fighting device. Australia’s Ansell Ltd. is supplying that country’s Olympic team with “anti-Zika condoms” lubricated with an antiviral gel. But that gel has never been tested outside a laboratory, and experts say any condom will do the job. Some enterprising marketers are trying to make a few dollars by rebranding products as Zika fighters. Among them is a Louisiana exterminator who is hawking a $1,678 outdoor mosquito misting system as the “Zika Cube.” Its maker, Katy, Texas-based Pynamite Mosquito Misting Systems, said it didn’t authorize sales of its product under that name and will order the man to stop, though Pynamite’s website does say “effective mosquito control in your yard is the best way to prevent Zika and other mosquito-related diseases.” A website called “anti-zika.com” offers $6 “anti-zika” repellent with a “formula specifically designed to combat the Zika virus.” Its website says the stuff has similar ingredients to mainstream brands, but offers no details about its “specifically designed” formula. The company hasn’t responded to a request for comment. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says his office has sent letters to seven companies, telling them to stop marketing products as “Zika-preventive” or “Zika-protective.” While some companies are using Zika worries to goose sales of products that could prevent mosquito bites, others are claiming benefits far beyond what regulators have verified. Officials are warning consumers away from ultrasound bug zappers, $20 insecticide-containing wrist and ankle bands such as “Mosquitno,” and “Spotz,” Citronellainfused stickers that adhere to clothing and supposedly repel mosquitoes for three days. The Federal Trade Commission this spring fined one wristband maker $300,000 for falsely claiming its bands create a fivefoot mosquito barrier protecting wearers for days. Experts say to stick with what works, like products with DEET. Research by Day, the University of Florida entomologist, found that while repellents approved by federal agencies that contain citronella, lemon eucalyptus oil and other herbal extracts provide some protection, it can last from just a few minutes to an hour or so. In contrast, he found prod- ucts containing 23.8 percent DEET, such as Off! Deep Woods, can protect against mosquito bites for 3 to 6 hours. And that’s what most people are buying, whether they are near Zika-carrying mosquitoes or not: Off! maker SC Johnson in February ramped up to 24-hour, 7-day a week production, the family-owned company says. Spectrum Brands Inc. said retailers have seen sales double over last year’s for its repellent brands, Cutter and Repel. It’s also boosted production, and started mentioning Zika on its repellent cans. “We don’t want to scare consumers,” brand manager Ashley Henderson says. “We want to empower them.” The maker of Mosquito Bits and Mosquito Dunks, tablets containing bacteria that the company says kill mosquito larvae in water, said it’s having one of its best sales years ever. Demand has spiked in Texas and across the Southwest — and in less-than-tropical locations, too. “We’re getting calls from as far north as Canada,” said company vice president Zach Cohen.

Also celebrating with HealthNet was Thomas Reed, a flight paramedic, who was recognized for his 30 years of service. According to MetroNews, Reed, 60, began working out of Charleston’s base where HealthNet operated two aircrafts. Now, the organization operates nine helicopters in Ripley, Beckley and Lewisburg, and in Kentucky and Ohio. “I could say that my office window is constantly changing. I’m always outside in the environment, so those are all things that appeal to me, but the real thing that feeds my soul is being able to touch somebody in their hour of moment of need and to make a difference in their lives,” Reed said. Rapid air transport to a major hospital doesn’t just happen. It takes a dedicated crew of helicopter pilots, medical specialists and administrators to make sure the organization is ready and able. Crew members maintain about 10 different lifesaving certifications, ranging from such specialties as Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). Hats off to HealthNet for its work saving thousands of lives over three decades. Reprinted from the Charleston Daily Mail TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Thursday, Aug. 4, the 217th day of 2016. There are 149 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 4, 1991, the Greek luxury liner Oceanos sank in heavy seas off South Africa’s southeast coast; the 402 passengers and 179 crew members all survived, largely through the efforts of ship’s entertainers who oversaw rescue operations. (Capt. Yiannis Avranas and other officers faced criticism for leaving the ship while some passengers were still on board.) On this date: In 1735, a jury found John Peter Zenger of the New York Weekly Journal not guilty of committing seditious libel against the colonial governor of New York, William Cosby. In 1790, the U.S. Coast Guard had its beginnings as President George Washington signed a measure authorizing a group of revenue cutters to enforce tariff and trade laws and prevent smuggling. In 1830, plans for the city of Chicago were laid out. In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were axed to death in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Lizzie Borden, Andrew’s daughter from a previous marriage, was accused of the killings, but acquitted at trial. Today’s Birthdays: Actress-singer Tina Cole is 73.

Ohio is launching a program next year that it says will allow the state’s four largest private health insurers, along with Medicaid and Medicare, to change how they pay to financially reward primary care providers for the value of their work rather than the volume of services. To join the program, practices must submit an application and meet enrollment requirements. This week’s announcement comes after federal officials said Medicare will provide enhanced payments to certain primary care practices in Ohio through a similar program that begins in January. Republican Gov. John Kasich’s administration says its initiative will better serve people in public and private care. From Page 1 A report in Scientific American stated that “through social interactions alone, the young can pass some of their vigor on to the elderly, improving the older generation’s cognitive abilities and vascular health and even increasing their life span.” Physical activity is also well known to benefit the elderly, and a recent clinical program by Sharon Arkin, a psychiatrist at the University of Arizona, showed that her program in which Alzheimer’s patients engage in communal exercise sessions with college students stabilizes cognitive decline and improves patients’ moods. Injury Sociologists and psychologists say there is much to be gained by interactions between young people and old. Some positive benefits for the elderly include somebody needing them.

Now the U.S. Olympic teams can finally take the only flight they really want. They were to depart together Tuesday night for Brazil, a trip that’s expected to lead to gold. “This is the exciting part, knowing that we’re about to go to Rio,” men’s star Carmelo Anthony said. “We’re about to just lock in in just one location, and we can just really focus on playing basketball and getting better individually and as a group.” Anthony, at 32 the old man of the U.S. team, wasn’t a fan of the early morning flights that the Americans took during their exhibition tour, as evidenced by DeMar DeRozan’s Instagram video of a team singalong during one trip. Now the teams can drop anchor and stick around in one spot — they’re stayJames Nielsen | Houston Chronicle via AP Kevin Durant and the USA men’s basketball team concluded an undefeated exhibition series. They ing on a cruise ship along one of Brazil’s beautiful beaches. head to the Rio Games with the expectation that they will bring home gold medals. “I’m excited to see (Kevin Durant), DeMarcus Cousins, all the guys. I like them all, and it’s a great group of guys,” Angel McCoughtry of the women’s team said following its final exhibition in New York. “I’m ready to get to know them better and continue to hang out with these girls and have a good time in Rio. This is the Olympics, it’s a positive thing and we’re ready to go in there and have some fun.” The men finished off their exhibition tour here Monday with a 110-66 rout of Nigeria, a game attended by the women’s team after it arrived earlier in the day. After unveiling their team in New York in late June, the men reported three weeks later to training camp in Las Vegas and also played exhibition games in Los Angeles, Oakland and Chicago. They went 5-0, averaged 102.8 points and overwhelmed their opponents by 43 per game. The road to Rio was easy, but coach Mike Krzyzewski insists the Olympics won’t be. See TEAMS | 10 LeBron says he’s motivated by ‘ghost’ of Jordan CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James has often avoided talking about trying to match Michael Jordan’s accomplishments. Now he’s chasing “the ghost” of arguably the greatest player in NBA history. Fresh off leading the Cavaliers to an NBA championship and bringing Cleveland its first title since 1964, James, in a story posted online by Sports Illustrated , recently told young players at a camp in Los Angeles that his motivation “is this ghost I’m chasing. The ghost played in Chicago.” The ghost, of course, is Jordan, who led the Bulls to six titles. James has admired Jordan since he was a kid and reveres him to this day. James has typically sidestepped questions about being in Jordan’s elite company, and the 31-year-old tells SI he’s hoping to build on his sterling resume. “My career is totally different than Michael Jordan’s,” James tells SI’s Lee Jenkins. “What I’ve gone through is totally different than what he went through. What he did was unbelievable, and I watched it unfold. I looked up to him so much. I think it’s cool to put myself in position to be one of those great players, but if I can ever put myself in position to be the greatest player, that would be something extraordinary.” While James is only halfway to matching Jordan’s number of titles, ending Cleveland’s drought in historic fashion — the Cavs overcame a 3-1 deficit to beat Golden State — will always separate him from other players. “This was bigger for me than the first and the second,” James tells SI, “because of everything it represents.” James chose not to play on a fourth U.S. Olympic basketball team this summer and his spent his off-season in L.A., where he owns a home and has numerous business connections. In the SI piece, James discusses his drive to bring a championship to his home state and how he sent his teammates a text message following their loss to the Warriors in Game 4. He wrote: “Let it go, play hard, be focused, follow my lead, and I’ll make sure you get home for a Game 6.” OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, August 5 Golf Gallia Academy, Point Pleasant, Southern at Vinton County, 8:30 a.m. Meigs at Logan, 9 a.m. Monday, August 8 Golf Miller, Federal Hocking at Wahama, 4:30 Eastern, Waterford at South Gallia, 4:30 Gallia Academy at Ironton, 9 a.m. Tuesday, August 9 Golf Portsmouth at Gallia Academy, 2 p.m. Wednesday, August 10 Golf Eastern, Gallia Academy at Waterford Invitational, 8 a.m. David Goldman | AP Beach volleyball players practice on center court of the beach volleyball arena along Copacabana Beach ahead of the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tuesday. Don’t forget Brazilian party skills RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — For months, fears about the Rio de Janeiro Olympics have been hogging the spotlight. There are concerns about safety amid a surge of murders in Rio and extremist attacks in Europe and the United States. Polluted beaches and other waterways could make athletes and visitors ill, and the Zika virus has scared some competitors away. If all that wasn’t enough, the state of Rio is so broke that months ago it stopped paying thousands of public employees; Angry police have periodically been greeting tourists in the international airport with signs that say, “Welcome to hell!” If history is a guide, however, a focus on the problems is all part of the script in the run up to the games. Once the competitions start, most if not all of the problems fade into the background — at least for the athletes, tourists and millions watching around the world. Such negative coverage has a “very simple explanation,” says Michael Heine, director of the Center for Olympic Studies at Western University. “The event is about sports, but you can’t find sporting material because the whistle hasn’t gone yet,” said Heine. “So what else do you write about?” Coverage ahead of the 2012 Olympics in London included stories about terrorism fears and concerns about civil liberties in light of increased military and police presence. The run up to 2008 Games in Beijing put a spotlight on authoritarianism and extreme air pollution in China. In Athens 2004, there were myriad questions about whether the venues would be done in time. Many Brazilians feel frustrated that the expectations are overwhelmingly negative, especially when the country has pulled off big events like the 2014 World Cup. They argue that such accounts don’t take into account Brazilian “jeito,” or way of doing things, which includes an easy-going nature and a penchant for successfully pulling things off at the last moment. And the doomsday scenarios all but ignore samba dancing and capoeira martial arts, beautiful coastlines contrasted by mountains covered with lush jungle, stunning sunrises and sunsets, caipirinha cocktails and culinary options that range from meat-eaters’ delights to exotic fish plucked from the Amazon River. “No one throws parties like Brazil,” said Denis Eduardo, a 34-yearold travel agent from Sao Paulo traveling to Rio for the games. “People might be bashing Brazil now, as if all previous Olympics had been perfect, but it won’t be long until they are all enjoying it here.” Brazil’s problems, however, go beyond what other recent countries hosting the Olympics have faced. Latin America’s largest economy and most populous nation is suffering its worst recession in decades. A political crisis has paralyzed the country and brought out deep polarization — which could very well translate into large protests during the competitions. The opening ceremony will highlight the cloud hanging over the country: Interim President Michel Temer will ring in the games while impeached President Dilma Rousseff, suspended for alleged fiscal irregularities in her managing of the budget, stays home. Even in normal times, Brazil’s infrastructure is poor. Building collapses are frequent, clogged and pot-holed plagued streets turn traffic into parking lots and electricity and running water are not always a given, even in rich areas. When the Australian delegation complained last week about dangling wires, bursting toilets and gas smells in the Olympic Village apartments, they were experiencing things that are common for Brazilians. The April collapse of a coastal bike lane, an Olympics legacy project inaugurated with much fanfare just a few months before, underscored how dangerous shoddy construction can be. Two men plunged to their death when a big wave turned a large chunk of the path into a mountain of concrete and metal. The lane has been shut down while authorities investigate. However, there is little doubt that the engineering was deficient or the construction was faulty, or a combination of both. David Wallechinsky, president of the International Society of Olympic Historians who will be attending the games, says the last-minute completion of major projects reminds him of an episode in Athens. On the way back from watching a beach volleyball game, his wife and son got stuck in a newly-built metro train. It was over 90 degrees and the doors were not working, so several men pried them open. When Wallechinsky looked into it he was told: “We just inaugurated it yesterday.” In Brazil, “are they doing this for the metro system, the venues? Has everything been checked out?” he asked.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Thursday, August 4, 2016 Daily Sentinel AAC prepares for Big 12’s expansion NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — Everybody in the American Athletic Conference is prepared for the storm. Publicly, nobody is panicking. The AAC held its annual gathering in New England to eat lobster, kick off its fourth football season and start talking about what happens if the conference loses members to Big 12 expansion. “I cannot stand here this morning and ignore the recent Big 12 news regarding realignment,” Commissioner Mike Aresco said during his state of the conference address Tuesday. “Although I do want to address it at the outset, I’m not going to dwell on it.” Coming off a successful 2015 on the field that included 10 victories against Power Five teams and four teams ranked in the Top 25 at some point, the conference is again facing uncertainty. While Aresco likes to tout the American as the equal of a Power Five league — he uses the term “Power Six” — the fact is there is still a wide gap in revenue and prestige between the AAC and high-resource conferences. The Big 12 offers a chance for two or maybe even four schools access to the pot of gold that comes with Power Five inclusion. And most of the 12 schools in the American have expressed interest either publicly or privately in joining. There are no secrets here. “I think it’s pretty evident who’s been maneuvering, but we respect each other enough to not put each other on the spot,” said East Carolina athletic director Jeff Compher, who is the chairman of the American AD’s group. Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen said: “We’re committed to the present right now. I think that keeps us balanced.” Aresco met with AAC athletic directors in Rhode Island over the last three days. He said the meetings were productive and all schools participated. While the public nature of the Big 12’s exploration of expansion is not ideal, Aresco said, he is pleased with the transparency of his members. “I think we’ve set a tone that we are going to approach this in a workman like fashion,” Aresco said in an interview with the AP. “We’re not going to be morose. We’re not going to be acting like woe is me. Just the opposite of that. This just means there is work to be done.” Aresco said contingency plans to deal with possible departures have been discussed. He would not give details, but said the league has considered that it could lose as many as four members, dropping membership to eight. “All things considered I think we’d like to be back at 12 if we lose some schools because it gives you more (television) inventory,” Aresco said. The American is halfway through a sixyear television deal with ESPN. “There is only a handful of schools that I think would be attractive to us. What we don’t want to do is risk the progress we’ve made, put it in jeopardy. We don’t want to do anything to dilute our brand in any way. Could we stay at 10? If it makes more sense, absolutely. Especially in the short-term. We can play a championship game at 10.” Aresco said he has not had an extensive conversation with Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby about the Big 12’s plans, but they did talk. Aresco said he is comfortable that he will be kept in the loop as the Big 12’s plans come into focus. Aresco said Bowlsby did not lay out a timetable other than to say the Big 12 hoped to work quickly. Aresco took over as commissioner in 2012 when the American was still the Big East. The conference was falling apart during that round of realignment. Ultimately, defections forced the conference into a near-complete makeover and what emerged was the American Athletic Conference. Aresco said having gone through the Big East’s downfall will help the American get through this. “This is not going to be fun. It’s not going to be easy,” Aresco said. “We know we had to rebuild three years ago. I think it was a dire situation then. It’s probably less so now but that doesn’t mean that there won’t be specific challenges. We’re trying to be prepared.” An all-time first for AP Top 25 By Ralph Russo AP College Football Writer Who’s No. 1? The Associated Press began asking the most important question in sports in 1936, and 1,103 times since then the AP college football poll has provided an answer that has only led to more questions, such as: What? Why? Are you kidding? The arguments about what team is best in college football have moved from bars and taverns to Facebook and Twitter, but if you think it’s more heated now then back in the day, consider: Before the AP started asking its member sports writers and editors to vote for the top teams, thensports editor Alan J. Gould in 1935 went about ranking them himself. In the final rankings he named Minnesota, Princeton and TCU co-No. 1s, and Gophers fans, as the story goes, hanged Gould in effigy. “It created a storm in the Big Ten in general,” said Gould, who died in 1993, recalled on the 50th anniversary, “and Minneapolis-St. Paul, in particular.” Gould quickly realized it was best to spread the blame, er, responsibility for the rankings around. And so it’s been that way ever since, with various tweaks and turns. The Top 20. The Top 10, for a little while. And since 1989, the Top 25. As college football has evolved, the poll’s role has changed. The Bowl Championship Series led to the College Football Playoff and at this point college football’s champion is sort of settled on the field. Phelps to carry United States flag during Olympic opening The decision announced Wednesday makes Phelps, the most decorated athlete in Olympic history, only the second swimmer to lead the U.S. delegation in the opening ceremony. Gary Hall was the first at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. “I’m honored to be chosen, proud to represent the U.S., and humbled by the significance of carrying the flag and RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Unlike the last four Olympics, Michael Phelps will be taking part in the opening ceremony for the Rio Games. And he’ll have something to carry. Phelps will be the bearer of the U.S. flag during the Friday night ceremony at Maracana Stadium, selected in a vote by all members of the American Olympic team. Teams Krzyzewski said. “We play two games against teams that we’ve beaten, but they’ll be a little bit different, in China and Venezuela. And then we play Aus- From Page 6 “The competition is going to get better. I mean, really good,” all it stands for,” Phelps said. His selection was an obvious choice. Phelps has captured 18 golds and 22 medals overall, far more than any other athlete in Olympic history, and he is the first American male swimmer to qualify for five Olympics. But this will be the first time Phelps has participated in the opening ceremony, which can be a tralia, who is very good. They’ll probably start five NBA players.

TV14 Roadies "Lost Highway" Janine's visit continues to shake things up. With the 400 IM no longer part of his program, he was available to lead the team in Friday’s ceremony. “For Sydney, I just wanted to make the team. For Athens, I wanted to win gold for my country. For Beijing, I wanted to do something nobody else had done (breaking Mark Spitz’s record with eight gold medals). In London, I wanted to make history,” Phelps said. The U.S. crushed China, the opponent in its opener Saturday, 106-57 and 107-57. The Americans beat Venezuela 80-45. The women played higher-caliber opponents during their tour, which started in Los Angeles before moving to the Northeast for victories over France, Canada and Australia. They are a heavy favorite to win a sixth consecutive gold medal in Rio and have won 41 consecutive Olympic contests, with the last loss coming in the 1992 semifinals. They gathered on July 23 and coach Geno Auriemma said Tuesday was the first real practice they’ve had. He plans another Wednesday after they arrive in Rio. “So we’re not as good as we’re going to be, and that’s kind of the way it’s been for us at the Olympics,” Auriemma said. “We get better as the week goes on and that’s certainly been the case since the 23rd.” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo visited the women’s team at practice and addressed the players afterward, wishing them luck in Rio. Durant and Anthony are the only players on the men’s team who have played in the Olympics, while the women have much more experience playing together — some even as college teammates under Auriemma at Connecticut. But there was still plenty of learning to do on and off the court during the tour, with more still come when the games start to count. “I think there’s a level of comfort now that you can tell that we have from our first game to our last warmup game,” Maya Moore said. Skills From Page 6 Arguably the biggest fear is security. The recession has exacerbated the already precarious situation of millions who live in the city’s hundreds of slums; Armed men sometimes descend from the hills to rob unsuspecting tourists and more well-to-do locals. After recent attacks in Orlando, Florida, and Nice, France, Brazilian authorities have gone on the offensive in recent weeks, arresting more than a dozen men who had expressed allegiance to the Islamic State group — but had done almost nothing to actually plan an attack. Soldiers wearing bullet proof vests and carrying automatic weapons have been blanketing the airports, malls and tourist areas in recent weeks. Authorities say 85,000 soldiers and police will be on hand during the games, roughly twice the number on hand in London. “I understand that people are concerned about security,” said Alexandre Braga, chief of the city’s tourist police unit. “But I don’t think there will be any major problems in Rio.” www.mydailysentinel.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
