As part of this initiative, all Rio campuses are now completely tobacco-free — including the Meigs campus in Pomeroy. Rio’s Wellness Committee approved the new policy in late July to be put into place by the Photo courtesy of URG/RGCC upcoming fall semester. All University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College campuses are now completely Dean of the College of tobacco-free. Professional & Technical Studies and Chair of the Wellness Committee, Donna Mitchell, said the policy will impact the campuses by minimizing risks of second-hand smoke and create an initiative for students to lead healthier lifestyles. “Second-hand smoke can be as dangerous, or even more dangerous than primary smoke,” Mitchell said. “We know smoking can cause health issues such as lung cancer and now studies are linking it to bladder cancer and a variety of other health concerns.” Rio began moving toward this initiative during the 2015-2016 school year by creating designated smoking areas on campuses, with tobacco products prohibited outside these areas. With this transition period over, President Dr. Michelle Johnston said this plan will continue to move Rio forward in positive ways. “Our mission at Rio is to create a high-quality, learning-centered environment for our students, faculty, staff and visitors,” Johnston said. “Tobacco-free campuses will help us strive toward See TOBACCO-FREE | 6A Ohio voter app now available By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Accessing voter information on a smartphone is now available for Ohio voters.

Insist on a written contract detailing the costs, the work to be done, the starting and end dates, and any verbal promises made by the contractor. Understand your cancellation rights. If the contract resulted from a door-to-door sale, you generally have three days to cancel the contract, according to Ohio’s Home Solicitation Sales Act. The seller should give you written notice of these rights. Consider paying with a credit card. Paying with a credit card generally gives you greater protections to dispute unauthorized charges, especially compared to paying in cash.

A grand jury indicted Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer on six felony charges in a 43-count indictment released Tuesday night. Overmyer, 42, wore handcuffs and an orange jail uniform when deputies led him into court for his arraignment. A judge set his bond at $150,000, ordered him to turn over his county property and told Overmyer not to contact anyone from the sheriff’s office. A special prosecutor said she would begin the process of having him suspended from his job. One of his attorneys, Andrew Mayle, said Overmyer is not guilty, but would not comment further. Overmyer easily won the county’s Republican primary for sheriff in March even though it was known then that he was under investigation. He said before the primary that the investigation was politically motivated. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation began investigating the two-term sheriff nearly a year ago. The probe started after police chiefs in the county said it was odd that Overmyer had been collecting prescription pills from drop boxes, several media outlets reported. Friday, August 26, 2016 3A NEWS FROM AROUND THE BUCKEYE STATE Ohio man suspected of Bosnian war crimes charged with fraud CLEVELAND (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a man in Ohio hid that he had been in a special police unit in Bosnia and took part in the Serb massacre of over 8,000 Muslim Bosnians during the 1995 genocide. The U.S. government says 41-year-old Oliver Dragic, of Barberton, has been accused of immigration fraud in a three-count indictment. He was arrested Thursday. Court documents don’t say whether he has an attorney. A message seeking comment was left at a business listing for him. Prosecutors say Dragic claimed he was a victim of the war while applying for refugee status in the U.S. But they say he made false statements on those forms about his role in ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and continued serving in the police even after applying for refugee status. Ohio court: Juvenile crimes can’t enhance adult sentences COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s Supreme Court has ruled that prior juvenile convictions cannot be used to increase the severity of charges or the length of prison sentences those individuals receive as adults. The justices ruled 4-3 Thursday that treating cases from juvenile court as prior convictions for adult-sentencing purposes is unconstitutional and “fundamentally unfair.” The Columbus Dispatch reports Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger wrote that juvenile court proceedings are civil proceedings designed to protect the development of those under age 18 while they are rehabilitated. She wrote that adult felony sentences are intended to protect the public and punish offenders. The ruling says prior juvenile convictions can’t be used to enhance prison sentences of adults since children facing delinquency charges have no right to a jury trial. Sheriff says inmate hanged himself in Ohio jail COSHOCTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio sheriff says an inmate found dead inside a holding cell in a central Ohio jail apparently hanged himself. Coshocton County Sheriff Timothy Rogers says the body of 28-year-old Nicholas J. Poland, of Lexington, was found in the cell at the county jail during a routine check late Tuesday. The Coshocton Tribune reports that Rogers says Poland was alone in the cell and apparently used bedding to hang himself. The sheriff says authorities don’t suspect any foul play. Rogers says Poland left a note that authorities are not releasing at this time. The sheriff says Poland was serving six months in jail on convictions for theft and misuse of a credit card. Rogers says his office will investigate to determine whether all jail policies and procedures were followed. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY … game, 5-2, the Dodgers the second, 6-1.) In 1944, French Gen.

A divine sense of great comfort typifies the Psalm, which pictures Jesus Christ as the Great Shepherd of the sheep. The Lord’s shepherding provides the sheep with quality care, quality leadership, quality provision, and quality fellowship. Yet, verses five and six stand as particular sources of affirmation and consolation for the believer in Jesus Christ. “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over … and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” You see, the Christian is an individual who lives life in a hostile environment, who is a pilgrim in an unholy land, who is constantly surrounded by the manifested devices of the devil. It is the devil who attempts to victimize those who have chosen to belong to God through faith Jesus Christ. Sin, sickness, oppression, depression, opposition, trials and death are the devices in his arsenal which make it appear as though there is no hope, and that we are all defeated. But, in the face of all that the devil attempts to do, God through Christ elevates the Believer. God through Christ honors the Believer. God through Christ bestows great blessing on the Believer — all in the presence of the Enemy. Or, if you will, in his face, because Christ could care less what the devil says about us. While the devil says “Defeated,” the Savior shouts “VICTORIOUS!” ‘Preaching Jesus’: A simple, meaningful act In the eighth chapter of the book of Acts, we read the first recorded account of the conversion of an individual to Christianity. The individual in question was an Ethiopian Jew, a eunech in the employ of the queen of Ethiopia; he had journeyed to Jerusalem in order to worship and, as we meet him in the text, he is on his way home. (cf. Acts 8:26ff) To this individual, God sent a preacher named Philip, a man full of the Spirit of Christ, and experienced in sharing the Gospel. Philip had been preaching among the Samaritans, and had enjoyed great success there, but now God wanted the Gospel to go into Africa also, and so it was providentially arranged for the preacher to meet the eunech. When Philip met the eunech, the latter was in his chariot, being driven south, and he was studying the Bible. Specifically, the text tells us that the eunech was studying the prophet Isaiah. (cf. Acts 8:30-34; Isaiah Jonathan 53:7-8) The text, specifically, was that McAnulty which spoke of the Messiah being led like Contributing a lamb to the slaughter. columnist When Philip asked the eunech if he understood what he was reading, the eunech confessed his puzzlement and asked if Philip could explain it. Beginning at the spot, the Bible says, Philip preached Jesus to him. (cf. Acts 8:35) Following this lesson, the Eunech saw a body of water and asked if it was possible for him to be baptized. Philip affirmed that it was, and the two went down into the water, the eunech was baptized, and then after, he went on his way rejoicing, having received the forgiveness of his sins, and the salvation of his soul (cf. Acts 8:36-40; 2:38) Preaching Jesus. Such a simple phrase, but full of meaning. The eunech was a religious man. But being religious was not enough. There was something he yet needed. He needed a relationship with Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; the only path to God (John 14:6). Religion, without Christ, is not enough to get one to the Father. When the apostle Peter preached to the crowd on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2), he was preaching to a crowd filled with religious people, assembled for the worship of God. But their religion was not enough. They needed Jesus. Saul of Tarsus was a very religious man, and in his religious zeal he persecuted the church of God. (cf. Acts 9:1ff) But it was not enough. He needed Jesus. Philip preached Jesus because Jesus was the message the eunech needed to hear for the salvation of his soul. The world today still needs to hear the message of Jesus preached. There is no other name given under heaven by which men must be saved (Acts 4:12). We can also discern, from the text, that preaching Jesus involves more than just telling men about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Philip began with the theme of the sacrifice of Jesus, the same theme we see in the sermons recorded for us in Acts 2 and 3. But just knowing about the death, burial and resurrection of Christ is not enough. When Philip preached Jesus to the eunech, we can also deduce he preached faith and baptism. He taught the eunech that the death of Christ demanded a response. Why else, when the eunech spotted a water would he ask about baptism. Obviously Philip had taught him about the need to be immersed in water for the forgiveness of sins. Preaching Jesus is not just preaching about what Jesus has done for us, it is preaching about the response that Jesus demands of us. It is telling people that it was Jesus who said, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved.” (Mark 16:16) It is teaching people that it was Jesus who said, “Unless you repent you will surely perish.” (Luke 13:3) The world needs to hear Jesus preached. And when Jesus is preached, each of us should have the enthusiasm of the eunech in responding to the message. The church of Christ invites you to join us in worship and study and to hear Jesus preached, at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis.

A person was anointed William Willimon, with scented oils to make the former chaplain at them smell good and presentable, as a gesture Duke University, was once invited to preach in an inner-city church. The service lasted nearly three hours, which exhausted the evangelist. “Why do these people want to stay in church so long?” he asked the pastor. The pastor replied, “Unemployment runs nearly 50 percent here. This means that when our people go about during the week, everything they see, everything they hear tells them, ‘You are a failure. You are nothing because you do not have a good job. You do not have a nice car. You have no money.’ So, I must get their eyes focused on Christ. Through the hymns, the prayers and the preaching, I say to them, ‘That is a lie. You are royalty. You are citizens of the Kingdom of God.’ It takes me a long time to get them straight because the world per- verts them so terribly.” Christ, oh, most certainly, overflows our cup purposely. Lastly, Christ will someday take the Christian to a Heavenly home right in the devil’s face. “And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Can you not imagine the chagrin on the devil’s face when the soul and spirit of a bornagain believer in Christ is escorted from his world to God’s Heavenly presence? Such open praise and open reward are made possible because of Jesus Christ. From the grip of death and the devil, Jesus snatches Believers from defeat, and turns their earthly circumstances into great victory while in the presence of the Enemy. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. A HUNGER FOR MORE Are you waiting expectantly on God? My children, when they were little, often demonstrated a mastery of articulating what I have found myself thinking or feeling when words would fail me. When having to navigate my way through the midst of difficult or trying times, I have sometimes been tempted, deep down in the recesses of my heart, to be somewhat less than spiritual and would get dangerously close to becoming bent out of shape about my circumstances. There have been moments when it has seemed to me that there were simply no words that could describe the emotions swirling around inside of me. But then there have also been moments when I have been astounded with how well one of my children would sum up what I was prone to overly-complicate in my own thinking — muddling, as it were — what was really a very simple truth or fact. My youngest son, for example, once encapsulated in six words the very issue that tends to weaken and wear down most of us at some season of our lives or maybe even many seasons of our lives. In a moment of brilliant imagery, he left me feeling a bit stupefied by the succinct way he captured my tendency for frustration when God doesn’t answer my prayers on MY time table. One afternoon, when feeling a bit impatient for his supper, he asked my wife when it would be time to eat. “A couple of minutes, honey,” was the reply. He gasped and with a distraught look of horror, clasped his face and moaned, “Oh, Mom! For me minutes seem like years!” Of course, it of how much you’ll really was a matexperience His workter of only a few ings in your life. minutes, but for a “Commit your way 6-year-old, minutes to the LORD; trust do indeed seem in Him, and He will like years. act.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:27-31 ESV). If you are waiting on God, don’t give up and throw in the towel, taking yourself offline for downloads of blessing that God has ordained for you. No, instead do what His Word would have you do in the cultivating of your relationship with Him. Read the Bible, seek God’s face faithfully in prayer, learn to worship Him among a community of Believers in a local church, serve Him in the myriad of ways He provides you each day of the week, and search your heart under His leading so that He can work inside of you to make room for His blessings for you, in you, and through you. In the end, staying faithful to the One, Whose name is synonymous with faithfulness, keeps your heart in a spiritual posture that remains ready to be blessed … whether the timing is only a few minutes or even a lifetime.

GOD’S KIDS KORNER The importance of The Lord’s Supper Someone recently asked me about the Lord’s Supper (also called Communion), so I thought it might be a topic that you also have questions about.

The Lady Raiders fell at Federal Hocking in a non-league tilt — 19-25, 25-14, 19-25 and 14-25 — inside McInturf Gymnasium in Stewart. On Tuesday, River Valley, a member of the TVCOhio, opened its season by losing in four games at Eastern — also of the TVC-Hocking. On Thursday night, the Lady Raiders welcomed Belpre of the TVC-Hocking for their home opener. Against the Lady Lancers, the Raiders recorded only 17 kills and 17 assists, with an 87-percent serving percentage. They also collected 14 digs and served up 10 aces, including half of those 10 by Angel Toler. Toler also had half (nine) of the 17 assists, while the team’s other setter — Isabella Mershon — notched six. Mershon and Carly Gilmore served up a pair of aces, as the hitter Gilmore led the way with seven kills. Mershon made four kills.

With a little more than a week to go before the season opener, some of those jobs have yet to be locked down. That happens when a team has to replace eight starters on each side of the ball. Offensive line, wide receiver and cornerback are among the positions where starters for the Sept. 3 game against Bowling Green still haven’t been named, Buckeyes coaches said this week. Regardless of who starts, there will be many new faces on the field next week. On the offensive line, returning starters Pat Elflein and Billy Price are the anchors at center and right guard. Pencil in Jamarco Jones at left tackle and at right tackle probably Isiah Prince, one of the team’s few true freshmen who earned playing time last year. The big competition is for the left guard spot, with 6-foot-7, 310-pound true freshman Michael Jordan mixing it up with sophomore Demetrius Knox and redshirt freshman Matthew Burrell. All likely will see playing time. Highly touted junior college transfer Malcolm Pridgeon, who was expected to compete at guard and tackle, was lost to a knee injury in training camp. “The number one thing up front, I think, is experience, so we don’t have a lot of it,” offensive line coach Greg Studrawa said. “We’ve got some new guys coming in there. The second thing is getting the group in there playing together. We’re struggling with that a little bit.” On the defensive line, Tyquan Lewis returns at end, and sophomore Sam Hubbard, who backed up All-American Joey Bosa last season, has locked down the other end position. The competition for the tackle spots continues, with juniors Michael Hill, the most experienced tackle on the squad, and Tracy Sprinkle trying to fend off redshirt freshmen Davon Hamilton and Dre’Mont Jones. “Everything is a competition, no matter if you think you’re a starter or you’re not,” Sprinkle said. “Everything’s a competition, so you have to go out there every day like somebody is on your heels.” The No. 6 Buckeyes lost all their starting receivers from last year, which has made for one of the most intriguing competitions in camp. Noah Brown, who has just one catch in his Ohio State career, has been designated a starter at one of the wideout spots. Fifth-year senior Corey Smith had laid claim to the other spot because of his experience, but Meyer said this week that Parris Campbell, who played some last year as a redshirt freshman but has yet to catch a pass, has a chance to grab that job. Terry McLaurin, Austin Mack and others also are expected to play. Curtis Samuel, who backed up Braxton Miller last season, brings some experience to the H-back position. “I need six guys who are going to go into every game, and whoever earned it that week will start and the other ones will play just as many plays,” receivers coach Zach Smith said. “I don’t know who it is yet. I can’t stamp anybody as ‘game ready.’ There are a couple who are close.” Returning starter Gareon Conley is locked in at one cornerback spot and could be, according to coaches, one of the best in the country. It’s been a fight for the other spot between sophomores Marshon Lattimore, who is returning from a nagging hamstring injury, and Denzel Ward, who is the fastest player on the team. Redshirt freshman Damon Arnette also is in the mix. “They’re all going to play, they’re all going to play early, and I’m very, very excited about that,” cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs said. Season From page 1B season opening loss since 2006. 2. The White Falcons have won 11 of its last 20 season openers, including eight of its last nine. 3. Since joining the TVC Hocking prior to the 2010 season, Wahama is 9-3 in non-league regular season play. 4. Both teams are coming off of their worst seasons in the last decade, as Ravenswood was 1-9 last fall, and Wahama was 4-6. 5. The Red Devils have 35 players on the 2016 roster including five seniors, 10 juniors, seven sophomores and 13 freshmen. The White Falcons have 27 players on this fall’s roster, including two seniors, 10 juniors, 11 sophomores and four freshmen. A total of 18 of Wahama’s players are returning from last year. Hannan Wildcats at Montcalm Generals Last meeting between the teams: August 28, 2015. Montcalm won 50-12 in Ashton. Current head-to-head streak: Montcalm has won 8 straight. Five things to note: 1. The Wildcats are hoping to start the season with a victory for the first time since 1999. Hannan is just 2-19 in its last 21 season openers. 2. Hannan last defeated the Generals on October 26, 2007, by a 12-6 final in Ashton. Since then MHS has outscored the Wildcats by a 276-to-63 count. 3. Including a 2-0 forfeit loss in 2014, Hannan has been shutout in three of the last eight meetings with MHS. 4. Montcalm has 39 players on its 2016 roster, compared to Hannan, which has 21 players. Of Hannan’s 21 players, 10 are returnees from last season. 5. Hannan’s last trip to Purdich Field resulted in a 69-14 MHS victory. HHS hasn’t won at Montcalm since November 9, 1996, when the Wildcats claimed a 30-0 triumph. Daily Sentinel Chargers withdraw offer to first-rounder Bosa SAN DIEGO (AP) — Joey Bosa’s holdout turned ugly Wednesday when the San Diego Chargers pulled their contract offer to the firstround draft pick and said they’ll restructure a new deal that would reflect him playing less than a full season. Bosa has missed all of training camp as his agents and the team wrangle over how much of his $17 million signing bonus he’ll get up front, as well as offset language in the case he gets cut. The Chargers were counting on the former Ohio State star to help bolster their pass rush and bring some excitement to a season that could be pivotal to their future in San Diego. It’s not clear whether Bosa, the No. 3 pick overall, is willing to sit out the season. Also unclear is how the situation could affect the Chargers’ push for $1.1 billion in a public subsidy for a new downtown stadium, which could be their last chance at remaining in San Diego. At the very least, the team is willing to continue to play hardball with Bosa. The Chargers said in a statement that they gave Bosa’s agents their best offer on Tuesday night, and it was rejected Wednesday. “The offer that we extended was for Joey to contribute during all 16 Gregory Bull | AP file The Chargers have withdrawn their contract offer to first-round draft pick Joey Bosa and will restructure a new deal that takes into account his absence from the team. The Chargers’ statement Wednesday said they believe “Joey will be unable to contribute for the full 16-game season without the adequate time on the practice field, in the classroom, and in preseason games.” games and beyond,” the team said. “Joey’s ability to contribute for an entire rookie season has now been jeopardized by the valuable time he has missed with his coaches and his teammates. Since Joey will not report at this time, his ability to produce not just early in the season, but throughout the entire season, has been negatively impacted.” Bosa is the only firstrounder who has not signed with his team. San Diego said it offered an initial signing bonus payment larger than any draftee received in the past two drafts, and more money in 2016 than any draftee except Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. One of Bosa’s agents, Brian Ayrault said in a statement that it was “unfortunate the San Diego Chargers have decided to manipulate facts and negotiate in the media. The team surely is not strengthening its relationship with Joey Bosa by taking this stance and making their position public.” He added that “the Chargers can focus on trying to sway public opinion, but our focus will remain on our client and securing a contract for him that is fair and consistent with his draft position.” Asked twice via text if Bosa was prepared to sit out the entire season, Ayrault didn’t answer. One of Bosa’s agents at CAA Sports, Tom Condon, has sparred plenty with the Chargers over the years. He represented Eli Manning, whose family didn’t want the Chargers to take him with the No. 1 pick overall in 2004. San Diego took him anyway, and then traded him to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers. Condon also represented Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson and Marty Schottenheimer, all of whom had unhappy departures from the team. The rhetoric accelerated earlier this month when Cheryl Bosa, Joey’s mother, posted a remark toward the Chargers on Facebook. In a reply to someone frustrated by the impasse, she wrote: “It bums me out for him so much. Wish we pulled an Eli Manning on draft day.” Bosa’s father, John, is a former first-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins. The Chargers’ statement on Bosa came just 30 minutes after they released an economic study that shows a combined downtown stadium and an off-site expansion to the city’s convention center will result in a “significant positive impact” on San Diego’s convention and hotel industry. The Chargers will ask voters on Nov. 8 to approve a 4 percent increase in the hotel tax to help pay for the $1.8 billion project. The measure must receive twothirds of the vote to pass, a number considered impossible to obtain in San Diego.

I used to tell him every day he enrolled early at OSU last spring. after practice how surprised I was Jordan began to get time with that I was driving out people that the first team line early in spring are in college who are expected to practice. start this year,” he said. And while coach Urban Meyer Even if success might have come has not named him a starter, he appears close to becoming the first earlier than he expected, he viewed true freshman offensive line starter himself as competing for a starting jnaveau@civitasmedia.com spot right away. “That is always the goal, to start. I think if there’s any time a person comes into college they should always want to start and have that competitive spirit because if you don’t, why be here?” Jordan said. Jordan went to Plymouth High School in Canton, Mich., around 20 miles from the University of Michigan. But he spent several years growing up in Cincinnati and felt more connected to Ohio than Michigan. Not surprisingly, his teammates noticed his name as soon as he got to Ohio State. Quarterback J.T. Barrett told him he couldn’t call him Michael Jordan until he proved himself. “I called him Marcus Jordan. I had to change his name. I was like, ‘You’re named after a legend. That’s a lot to live up to. But I call him Mike Jordan now. He’s a gritty young guy who I think is going to help us out on the offensive line. I think he definitely is going to be able to help us out. “That was just something I was messing with him about,” Barrett said.

He’s focused on this season. “What could have been is what I feel like it’s going to be this year,” he said. “I’m hungry, I can’t wait to get back out there. I’m excited. “Every game that I wasn’t able to be out there ate away at me. Football is what I know, what I love. Having that taken away from me hurt.” As a 240-pound freshman, Brown played his way into the receivers rotation with his blocking ability. Since then, he has dropped 20 pounds and made himself into probably the most complete receiver Ohio State has on its roster. “My best attribute is probably my route running and my hands. But I can also stretch the field,” he said. “I think I can do a little bit of everything.” Quarterback J.T. Barrett said, “Noah has like suction cups on his hands. You can throw it anywhere around him. Throw it around Noah and he will be able to get it.” One thing Brown hasn’t grabbed hold of and held tightly, though, is all the preseason praise coming his way. “In my mind that’s all hype. I don’t really pay attention. I try to go out and do what I can do. I’m looking forward this year to showing people what I can do so it’s not ‘Noah could have done this. Noah could have done that,’ ” he said. A year later than expected, what Brown can do will be a very important part of Ohio State’s season. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, August 26, 2016 3B Top Sprint Cup teams face struggle to stay there BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Keeping a dynasty seems even more challenging than creating one. Just ask Hall of Fame car owner Rick Hendrick. The NASCAR titan has fielded 11 Sprint Cup champions over the past 21 years, won 242 Sprint Cup races and just two seasons ago had all four of his star drivers— Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne — in the 16-team championship chase. These days, Johnson is Hendrick’s only surefire contender locked into the chase, although he’s got others knocking on the door. Hendrick understands it’s a time of transition for his proud, powerful organization. “You sign guys and you can’t believe that Jimmie Johnson, or Dale or Jeff Gordon are 40 years old,” Hendrick said. “But time moves on.” And brings change. Gordon retired last year, although he has driven the past four races for Earnhardt, who is recovering from a concussion that has put his playoffs in doubt. Chase Elliott, Gordon’s replacement, stands 12th in points and is a good bet to keep his spot in the chase. Kahne, at 17th, needs a victory to guarantee moving on. “I think everybody’s looking for that next superstar,” Hendrick said. “And if you’re not willing to invest in the future, then you’re going to be in a bind when the time comes.” Hendrick took steps toward that last week, signing 18-year-old truck series leader William Byron to race Xfinity cars next season. In Hendrick’s eyes, Byron is that budding star who’ll keep the organization chasing checkered flags for a long time. Byron raced trucks for Kyle Busch Motorsports and looked to have a future at Joe Gibbs Racing, the current power player in NASCAR. But with Busch, the defending Sprint Cup champion, Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin all in their 30s (the fourth member is 44-year-old Matt Kenseth), there may not be room for advancement at JGR. David Wilson, president and general manager, Toyota Racing Development, USA, said Byron was a talent they hated to lose. “I don’t think we were anticipating the next step this soon,” he said. “I don’t think William was anticipating it this soon.” Don’t fret for Toyota, which is developing several young drivers. Xfinity driver Erik Jones will advance to Sprint Cup with Toyota team Furniture Row Racing next year. Daniel Suarez, a 24-year-old JGR driver, was part of NASCAR Next and its Drive for Diversity program. He became the first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR race when he took the Xfinity race at Michigan two months. All, though, will have to wait their time. The JGR quartet — think of the Golden State Warriors on wheels — have won 10 of 23 races this season and are all locked into the playoffs for a championship run. Edwards, the group’s newest member, said the level of cooperation between very competitive teams and drivers keeps all of them sharp. “Yeah, we’re running really well, but it’s not one thing, it’s a very good foundation of teamwork and it all starts with Coach Gibbs,” Edwards said. “It’s cool to be a part of it.” Roush Fenway Racing, with 135 Sprint Cup wins and two championships, has also dealt with changes in recent years and the need to find young talent. Once a perennial title contender, the organization that featured 2003 title winner Kenseth and Edwards is crossing its fingers looking for one chase entry. Former Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, 25, stands 15th in points, but would get knocked out if race winners Tony Stewart and Chris Buescher both maintain their spots inside the top 30 in points. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the 28-year-old who’s 19th in points, was second Sunday to Kevin Harvick at Bristol Motor Speedway, the highest finish for a Roush Fenway driver this season. Stenhouse said although no one at RFR is satisfied with this year’s results, he thinks strides have been made in returning to the top. “We passed some cars that were running (well) and leading laps throughout the race,” Stenhouse said. Buescher, 25, was last year’s Xfinity champion and is on an extended run in Front Row’s affiliation with Roush Fenway. His win at Pocono last month put him in playoff position and he moved up to No. 30 — the required placing to make the Chase — with his fifth place at Bristol. A few more strong showings at Michigan, Darlington and Richmond the next few weeks and Buescher will be racing for a title in his first full Sprint Cup season. “From the Ford camp side, we know we’ve got a little bit of work to do yet, and we all know who’s been dominant at all these tracks this year,” Buescher said. “And we’re working to get ahead of that group.” Rangers beat Reds 6-5 for 2-game split MASON, W.Va. — A golf scramble to benefit Southern High School’s girls basketball program and athletic boosters is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27, at Riverside Golf Club in Mason County.

RGIII getting more comfortable running Browns’ offense TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Robert Griffin III doesn’t want to get ahead of himself. The Cleveland Browns quarterback reiterated Wednesday that while he’s getting increasingly more comfortable running his new team’s offense, the transition is far from complete. “It’s just about being consistent every day,” the fifthyear pro said after the Browns shared practice fields with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a second day. “I don’t praise myself. Without the guys around me, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do,” the quarterback added. “Football is a beautiful game because it takes 11 guys, and when all 11 are on the same page, it’s a beautiful thing.” Griffin is hardly expected to be a one-man show in Cleveland. He’s excited about the talent the Browns are assembling around him, including receivers Josh Gordon, Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman, who could wind up on the field together in a game for the first time in Friday night’s exhibition against the Bucs. Gordon (quadriceps) and Coleman (hamstring) sat out the first two preseason games, but have returned to practice. Griffin was asked whether he ever feels like he has an “embarrassment of riches” to work with considering the Browns also have productive targets such as tight end Gary Barnidge and running back Duke Johnson to throw to in coach Hue Jackson’s offense. “No … you can’t look at it that way,” Griffin said. “You can’t try to force the ball to one guy, and that’s the beauty of it. We have a lot of guys that can do great things. You just have to give them opportunities, and they’ll make those plays for you. They understand that, as well. … There are a lot of fish in the tank, and it’s up to us to feed them the right way.” O B U U AS R K N A AT B D ION OUT LI W N IDE G N pee h-S Hig Get the Ultimate Bundle from AT&T! net ter L- E TA ON .

The homer was only the second by a Rangers pitcher. The Rangers won 6-5 to split the two-game series. Price said. “It’s hard to know about American League pitchers, but he showed that he’s capable of hitting it out of the ballpark.” Nomar Mazara had a three-homer, and Desmond followed Darvish’s homer with his 21st. The Reds have given up 10 homers in the last three games, including four sets of back-to-back homers. Darvish let a 5-2 lead slip away. He walked a season-high five batters and hit a batter in six innings. A passed ball and an error led to two unearned runs. Jake Diekman (4-2) went one inning and got the win. Sam Dyson pitched the ninth for his 28th save in 32 chances. The win snapped Texas’ three-game losing streak. The Rangers haven’t lost more than four straight this season.

Darvish connected for only the second homer by a Rangers pitcher, and Adrian Beltre hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning Wednesday night for a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and a split of their twogame interleague series. Darvish’s solo shot to center field was one of three homers by the Rangers, who wasted a three-run lead before rallying late. Beltre’s double off Blake Wood (5-2) snapped a 5-5 tie. “It was just a really bad pitch, something he could handle,” said Adleman, who followed it by giving up another homer by Ian Desmond. “Those were big blows — twoout home runs when one pitch could’ve gotten me out of it. It’s definitely disappointing.” Darvish’s big moment came in the fifth when he ended his 0 for 12 career slump. He tipped the bill of his batting helmet as he rounded third base and raised an index finger briefly as he headed for the plate. The only other Rangers pitcher to homer was Bobby Witt in 1997 at Dodger Stadium, in only their third interleague game. He’s the fifth pitcher to homer against the Reds this season. “He hit a fastball out over the plate and he hit it well,” manager Bryan OVP SPORTS BRIEFS They improved to 28-8 in one-run games, best in the majors. Carlos Beltran was hitless in four at-bats, leaving him in an 0-for-24 slump that matches his career high from 2000. Darvish helped the Reds score two runs in the second.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �6B Friday, August 26, 2016 SPORTS Daily Sentinel Recent history shows QBs vulnerable to early season injuries By Steve Megargee Associated Press Some of the biggest losses in college football’s opening week likely won’t be reflected on the scoreboard. Several teams in recent seasons have lost starting quarterbacks the first couple of weeks and spent the remainder of the year dealing with QB issues. Air Force, Boston College, BYU, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Syracuse all lost quarterbacks to season-ending injuries by mid-September last year. Ohio State won the 2014 national title despite losing its top two quarterbacks to injuries. “They’re the only position that takes punishment without being able to give it back, and (they’re) being in exposed positions,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. “I’m telling you, if you’re not tough, you can’t play quarterback.” But since being tough can’t always keep a quarterback on the field, the emphasis to have depth at the most important position on the team seems to have increased with the recent rash of early season injuries. An AP analysis of all the Football Bowl Subdivision programs shows that only about 38 percent started the same quarterback in every game last season, whether due to injuries or performance. Florida State uses GPS technology to measure athletes’ performance and monitor their health. Fisher said the data revealed quarterbacks had the third-highest workloads on the team “with the torque on their body with their legs, feet and all that stuff.” The only position groups with higher workloads were receivers and offensive linemen. It all adds up to teams taking steps to get backup quar- Having a quality backup quarterback can make or break a season. Michigan State advanced last year to the College Football Playoff in part because backup quarterback Tyler O’Connor helped the Spartans pull a 17-14 upset of Ohio State when a shoulder injury prevented Connor Cook from playing. Notre Dame lost starting quarterback Malik Zaire to a broken ankle in the second week of the season, yet DeShone Kizer stepped in and kept the Fighting Irish in playoff contention all year. Ohio State’s 2014 national championship provided perhaps the biggest statement on the importance of having multiple quarterbacks ready to play. Braxton Miller, the two-time Andrew Shurtleff | AP file Big Ten offensive player of Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire (8) is driven off the field last September after injuring his right ankle against the year, injured his throwVirginia in Charlottesville, Va.

Steelers’ Heyward ready to work on defensive line PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh defensive end Cameron Heyward isn’t opposed to a rotation along the line. He’s also OK with playing as many snaps as necessary. The Steelers made it a goal in the offseason to give Heyward and Stephon Tuitt support at end. “Whatever cards we’re dealt, we’re going to be ready,” Heyward said. “We would love to have depth, but we’re not going to just give reps to anybody. We have to be well-conditioned and we have to be ready for that, but if we have guys that are able to step up, we welcome it.” The Steelers realize they have one of the most formidable tandems at defensive end in Heyward and Tuitt. That’s why Keith Butler, in his first season as defensive coordinator, opted to find ways to create additional pressure on the quarterback with his two DEs. “We have two guys that are probably as good as anybody in the league in that position,” Butler said. “We played them a lot last year. We would like to be able to rest them a little bit, so they can be fresh and 60672461 Please recycle this newspaper maybe our four-man rush will improve.” The pass rush improved considerably in 2015 as Pittsburgh finished third in the league with 48 sacks. That was an increase from 2014, when the Steelers totaled 33 sacks for a 26th-place league ranking. Heyward and Tuitt did their part, combining for 13 1-2 sacks in 2015, while the rest of the pressure came from the secondary and linebackers. Heyward feels a rotation along the defensive line could increase those numbers. “You look around the league and the great (defensive) lines have a good rotation, and they’re fresh by the playoff run,” Heyward said. “If we can have that and have a continuity where it continues to grow, I’d be happy with that too.” Heyward played 88 percent of the team’s snaps on defense, while Tuitt followed at 78 percent. The next closest along the defensive line was former nose tackle Steve McLendon at 34 percent, and Cam Thomas with 16 percent of the snaps. Heyward admitted inexperience along the defensive line, but pointed out growth from players such as L.T. Walton, the Steelers’ 2015 sixth-round pick, and this season’s third-round pick Javon Hargrave. He also expects contributions from sevenyear veteran Ricardo Mathews. “We’re just about including them and trying to make them grow in our defense,” Heyward said. A rotation along the defensive line will go a long way toward preserving the Steelers’ two best up-front pass rushers. Heyward will be ready regardless. “I can stay in,” Heyward said. “We’ve been doing it. My goal is to be ready for the game and to be ready for the fourth quarter, because that’s when games are decided. “If we can get a rotation, that’s great, but if we only have so many guys, and those are the cards we’re dealt, then I’m going to play. I’m not going to moan or cry about it. It just means we have to make more plays.” NOTES: Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, DeAngelo Williams and Antonio Brown will play for the first time in the preseason Friday at New Orleans. . Cornerback Artie Burns, the Steelers’ first-round pick, practiced Wednesday and could make his preseason debut Friday after missing the first two games because of injury. . LB Bud Dupree, QB Bruce Gradkowski, OT Jerald Hawkins, FB Roosevelt Nix, QB Dustin Vaughan and OL Cody Wallace will likely miss Friday’s game. . Free agent cornerback Keenan Lewis, the Steelers’ third-round pick in 2009, visited his former team on Wednesday. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
