Closing arguments will begin at 9:30 a.m. Friday Counts 1, 3, 5 and 7 of the indictment allege that between Defendant Mary Kimes speaks on the stand to Defense Attorney Herman Carson Thursday. Jan. 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012, Kimes committed the crime of theft in office, which is a third-degree felony. Counts 2, 4, 6 and 8 — also thirddegree felonies — allege that between the same period of time, Kimes committed the crime of theft in office. These four counts state that the property or service involved was owned by the state, some other state, a county or municipal, corporation or political subdivision. Each count states that the amount of theft was equal to or greater than $7,500, which total up to more than $56,000. If convicted on all eight counts, Kimes could face 24-40 years in prison. The prosecution finished up its slate of witnesses Thursday, starting with a statement from Lynn Brown, who could not make the trial in person.

ATHENS — Ohio University has received top marks in two ranking systems designed to provide students and parents with information about the overall quality and cost of higher education. Ranked 464 among the world’s 22,000 degree-granting institutions by the Center for World University Rankings, Ohio University is in the top 2.2 percent of the world’s higher education institutions for its quality of education. The university also ranked 14th out of 44 colleges and universities that qualify as “best buys” based on the quality of their academic offerings in relation to the cost of attendance by the “Fiske Guide to Colleges 2015.” “Ohio University is very pleased to be recognized for our commitment to excel- lence,” President Roderick J. McDavis said. “Our recent rankings speak to the value of transformative education, and we will continue to make strategic investments to support this unique learning community.” The CWUR publishes the only global university ranking that measures the quality of education and training of students, as well as the prestige of faculty members and the quality of their research without relying on surveys and university data submissions. CWUR aims to provide the most comprehensive rankings available, are trusted by students, academics, university administrators and government officials around the world. “In an era when global talent has so See MARKS | A5 Banc Corp. reports 2nd quarter earnings GALLIPOLIS — Ohio Valley Banc Corp. reported consolidated net income of $1.34 million for the quarter that ended June 30, a decrease of 30.8 percent from the $1.94 million earned for the second quarter of 2013. Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 were $.33 compared to $.48 for the prior year second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income totaled $4.91 million, a 5.0 percent decrease from net income of $5.17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Earnings per share were $1.20 for the first six months of 2014 versus $1.27 for the first six months of 2013. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.20 percent and 12.03 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2014, compared to 1.28 percent and 13.45 percent, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. “Overall, 2014 is proving to be a strong year with a continued resurgence in loan growth contributing to increased net interest income and net interest margins,” said Thomas E. Wiseman, president and CEO of Ohio Valley Bank Corp. “While we were disappointed in our second quarter and year-to-date results compared to the same periods last year, we know the actions behind these results — namely the downgrading of two credits in the second quarter, which resulted in an increase in provision for loan loss and reduced earnings for the quarter — were necessary to manage our portfolio responsibly. “Over the last several years, our asset quality oversight committee, led by the chief credit officer, has done a tremendous job working on troubled credits,” Wiseman added. “The committee’s success led to much improved asset quality, resulting in a greatly reduced provision for loan losses and higher earnings. While the downgrading of the two credits in the second quarter had the opposite effect, due to the committee’s efforts, the effect was limited in scope.” For the second quarter of 2014, net interest income increased $346,000, or 4.4 percent, from the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income increased $707,000, or 4.3 percent, from the same period last year. Contributing to the higher net interest income was the increase in both average loan balances and net interest margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, average loans increased $24 million from the same period last year. The increase in loan balances occurred primarily within commercial and municipality related financings. The company’s net interest margin remains strong, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net interest margin increased to 4.49 percent, from 4.37 percent for the same period the prior year. One major contributor to the net interest margin improvement was lower funding costs related to the 2013 redemption of $5 million in trust preferred securities that had an interest cost of 10.60 percent. Another major contributor to the margin improvement was an increase in the yield on mortgage-backed securities. When our mortgage-backed securities are prepaid, the bank must amortize part of the bond premium it paid for the securities, which reduces the net yield on the securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses increased $1,575,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses increased $2,038,000 from the same respective periods in 2013. The increase in provision for loan loss expense was associated with an increase in general allocations for specific loan portfolio risks, as measured by the economic risk factors within the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. During the second quarter, the balance of classified loans, those loans demonstrating financial weakness, increased primarily due to the downgrade of two credits totaling $12 million. Due to the higher balance of classified assets and risk profile of the loan portfolio, the calculation of the allowance for loan losses required additional reserves. As positive asset quality indicators, the balance of net charge-offs and nonperforming loans continue to remain low. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net charge-offs totaled only $107,000, a decrease of $172,000 from the same period in 2013. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was .61 percent at June 30, 2014 compared to .76 percent at June 30, 2013. Based on the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2014 was adequate and reflects probable incurred losses in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was 1.35 percent of total loans at June 30, 2014, compared to 1.17 percent at June 30, 2013. See EARNINGS | A5 CONTROL YOUR POWER.

Ohio University receives high marks �LOCAL/STATE Daily Sentinel OSU marching Kimes band chief fired after probe From Page A1 COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University fired the director of its celebrated marching band on Thursday after determining he ignored a “sexualized” culture of rituals, including students being pressured to march in their underwear and participate in sexually themed stunts. Jonathan Waters had led the band since 2012, and served in lesser capacities for a decade before that. His halftime shows for what’s known to fans as “The Best Damn Band in the Land” were considered revolutionary and drew millions of viewers on YouTube. Ohio State President Michael Drake, on the job just three weeks, said in an Associated Press interview that he was “profoundly disappointed and shocked” by the findings of a two-month investigation that began before his arrival. “This is 2014, and we respect our students as young adults,” Drake said. “We respect women, and we respect all the different people who work with us, we respect that diversity. We just had to make a square-wave change between this report, which was unacceptable, and the future, which we start today.” The probe determined Waters knew about and failed to stop what the university called “serious cultural issues” within the band. Email and phone messages were left for Waters and the band alumni association seeking comment. Lynn’s statement said she and her husband, Harold Brown, had purchased two properties in April 2012 during a sheriff’s sale and had given People’s Bank the required 10 percent cash payment on both properties, as the bank told her there had been a problem in the past with cashier’s checks. Maj. Scott Trussell, of the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, testified Thursday that he helped collect information and money for web checks by collecting the applicant’s name, whether their check was for the Bureau of Criminal Investigation or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the employee’s signature. As others testified Wednesday, Trussell said Kimes was the only one with a key to the lock box. Kevin Cooper, a BCI employee of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, conducts investigations that have to do with fraud, and served as the prosecution’s final witness. Cooper testified that he became involved with the investigation a month before the grand jury indictment of Kimes. Cooper looked at the investigation according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and processes going on in the sheriff’s office, including the carrying a concealed weapon account, web check account and the sheriff’s sales account. Cooper also testified that he looked at any documents that were made available to him, and interviewed any witnesses he could. “Based on the investigation, it was clear that Mary Kimes had control of the money,” he said of the money placed in the lock box. The defense called current Sheriff Keith Wood, Deputy James Stacy and Rick Smith, who teaches criminal justice in the Meigs County Local School District. All three testified that former Sheriff Robert Beegle ran his office loosely. Smith, who no longer works at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, said that when he was there a lock box attached to the front door of the sheriff’s office held one key for the prisoner lock box, and had a key inside it to keep it shut, though it was always unlocked. Smith said that the prisoner lock box was different from the other lock box that held carrying a concealed weapon, web check money and applications. Kimes later took the stand and testified that the web check money began under Sheriff Ralph Trussell, with the carrying of a concealed weapon money process taking place under Beegle. Kimes testified that unlike other testimony had claimed, Beegle also had a key to the carrying of a concealed weapon and web check lock box, as he would need access to it when Kimes was off or on vacation. Kimes also testified that on Sept. 11, 2008, Beegle returned from a Bible Activity From Page A1 From Page A1 Botts said the new method of teaching about Christ “does not rely on traditional methods, but instead allows children to experience Bible stories in new, life-changing ways. “ Each Bible school class begins at noon with free lunches being served to the children by the Mulberry Community Parish volunteers.

Kimes said that the rules stated that for the 10 percent down payment toward purchased property only guaranteed money — money that wouldn’t bounce — would be accepted for sheriff’s sales. Eventually, Kimes became the sole caretaker of the 90 percent sheriff’s accounts, or the other money used to pay for sales after a 10 percent down payment was made. As the other defense witnesses claimed on the stand, Kimes also said Beegle was unorganized, with his office cluttered with evidence bags and papers, among other items. She also answered questions about the interview with Det. Bryan Lockhart and Sgt. Carrie Smithburger, and said she felt she was treated poorly by the pair. The interview took place during what was initially Kimes’s vacation, she said. Kimes testified that she was put on administrative leave May 31, 2012, and reinstated the next day, but decided to resign due to feelings of betrayal. She also explained that even though she had purchased two vehicles during the time money came up missing from the sheriff’s office, the vehicles were from 1997 and 2001. She added that her husband’s money was enough to pay for the vehicles at the time, as well as her own pay during the time she was still employed at the sheriff’s office. rials consistent with those used for explosive devices.

It would not be a famine for food or water. Rather, the famine would involve “the hearing of the words of the Lord.” This famine is certainly taking place today, not so much as it concerns the world at large, but specifically as it involves the people of the church. This famine of hearing God’s Word is spreading because church groups are pervasively emphasizing only pieces and portions of God’s Word that stimulate certain emotional feel-goodisms. The ultimate results are two-fold. The church environment is becoming more dominated by immature professors of Jesus Christ characterized by a spiritual shallowness incapable of sustaining spiritual strength and power in the long the question is God’s term.

Only after perceive as super-Christian status. Others are motivated to use God’s Word for the purposes of attaining principles for wealth and prosperity. But, if one is to ever stave off the famine of the hearing of God’s Word, one must start with and prioritize the Word of God first. For example, the Word of God does not identify every problem that people have. Neither does God’s Word provide a how-to-get-it-fixed solution to every problem that people have. What God’s Word prioritizes is that God is Sovereign. It is by first starting with the Biblical truth that God is Sovereign whereby mature faith is stirred in the hearts of people to rely completely upon the power and authority of God. After all, it is not that He is our power and authority, it is rather that He is the power and authority.

Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.’ And the LORD said to him, ‘But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man’” (Judges 6:14-16 ESV). And so began the greatest adventure that Gideon had ever known. The very first thing that Gideon did was to offer genuine worship to God (see Judges 6:17-24). The very next thing he did was become a catalyst for his family, his town, and his people for spiritual truth and radically challenged their worship of idols (see Judges 6:2532). Remember that God wasn’t going to just wink at their spiritual adultery while setting them free from their oppression; He was determined to attack their spiritual oppressors first! When the Lord had addressed their spiritual need, He set Gideon to the task of preparing an army which God promptly whittled down to a mere 300 men — any more than that would have raised some doubt about who really was going to win the battle for them (see Judges 7:1-7). I t’s time to make another mental note: God is NOT interested in you serving Him in your own strength, nor is He especially enamored by service to Him that does not permit Him to demonstrate His power and His presence through you. If you can do His work in YOUR strength and in YOUR way, where is the glory for God in that? At any rate, God used this teenytiny group of 300 men to overthrow an army of about 135,000 warriors. Now, if the Lord can take a small force like that to accomplish such an astounding victory, what can He do through you in the face of such adversaries as doubt, hate, grief, greed, hate and violence? What could He do with a man or woman who would render Him sincere and unadulterated worship and a life of wholehearted service? Make this one last mental note: He can take someone like you and change the world. All He needs from you is a willingness to trust Him and to follow Him onto the path of true and genuine worship.

There are 159 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 25, 1994, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Jordan’s King Hussein (hoo-SAYN’) signed a declaration at the White House ending their countries’ 46-year-old formal state of war. On this date: In 1554, Queen Mary I of England married Philip II, future King of Spain. In 1814, the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, one of the bloodiest battles of the War of 1812, took place in present-day Niagara Falls, Ontario, with no clear victor. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Barbara Harris is 79. Folk-pop singermusician Bruce Woodley (The Seekers) is 72. Rock builds the kind of Christian stability pleasing to God. When the Old Testament prophets declared “Thus saith the Lord,” the objective was to clarify that the people were to hear first what it was God intended to say, the reasons why He was saying it, and how what He said was supposed to work in their lives. Such actually typifies how we should approach the hearing of God’s Word. The Word of God points out to us that nothing matters to God more than the dominance of the New Man nature in our lives, and that our sole purpose in life is to bring God honor and glory. To accomplish such we must take care to hear God’s Word very well, very carefully and very accurately. Otherwise, we will spiritually starve to death. musician Jim McCarty (The Yardbirds) is 71. Rock musician Verdine White (Earth, Wind & Fire) is 63. Singer-musician Jem Finer (The Pogues) is 59. Model-actress Iman is 59. Cartoonist Ray Billingsley (“Curtis”) is 57. Rock musician Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) is 56. Actress-singer Bobbie Eakes is 53. Actress Katherine Kelly Lang is 53. Actress Illeana Douglas is 49. Country singer Marty Brown is 49.

Jesus, confronted by an unbelieving prefect who sought to justify himself, was famously asked, “What is truth.” (John 18:38) Pilate meant it as a rhetorical question and did not allow Jesus an opportunity to answer it, but instead proceeded to have Jesus crucified despite finding no fault in him. Despite Pilate’s nonchalant attitude towards his own question, an attitude shared by millions of people who want to strive to believe there is no truth to be found in the world, the question is a necessary one for men to seek an answer to, and it is a question to which there is a satisfactory answer. Philosophically and logically, truth is defined as a statement or idea that accurately reflects reality. That is, there are some things that simply are real, and to describe them accurately is to state truth. Truth can be applied to the description of actions, the description of matter, or even to the description of consequences of actions. If a person were to go to the store and buy a loaf of bread, it would be truth when that same person said they went to the store and bought a loaf of bread. That would be an accurate statement reflecting the reality of the action and describing the matter bought. Likewise, a statement that we are going to eat the bread, if followed by actions suited to the words, would be truth. We all understand this. Jesus, hours before he was arrested, was in prayer with His apostles. As he prayed to God, Jesus said the following: “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.” (John 17:15-19) It is obvious that Jesus thought there was such a thing as truth, that God’s word was truth, and that in the truth of God’s word there was a great deal of power, especially in regards to its sanctifying power. If Jesus is correct that the Bible is truth, and that it is indeed the instrument by which God’s power of salvation is made manifest to us (cf. Romans 1:16), then knowing the Bible is indeed a matter of some importance. There are, of course, people who think that Jesus was grossly mistaken. They reject the idea of truth and they most certainly reject the idea that God has spoken truth to men. Many reject this idea, not because they have studied the matter, but because they are reluctant to make the life changes the Bible demands of them. But perhaps they should be a little slower to simply cast away a book which makes the claim of being able to save those who follow it. There are many good reasons to think that Jesus is right when He declares the Scriptures to be the truth. The Bible is the most examined book in all of history and its authenticity and accuracy, when put to the test, have never been repudiated. The Bible is shown to be true by its constant accuracy, by its cohesion, by the multitude of specific prophecies (often made hundreds of years in advance of events) which were fulfilled, and by the sublime way it has, when used comprehensively as intended, improved the lives of its adherents. When much of the world was — and is — living in unsanitary conditions, the Bible was teaching men how to prevent diseases from running rampant through the culture (cf. Deuteronomy 23:9-14). While men were wallowing in scientific ignorance, the word of God was declaring the number of stars to be innumerable and the world to be floating on nothing (Genesis 22:17; Job 26:7) A thousand years before Christ was born, God was predicting that His son would be crucified, his hands and feet pierced, and that those standing at the foot of the cross would mock Him (cf. Psalms 22). The many proofs of the truthfulness of the Bible in such things could, and does, fill many books. It is indeed a book like no other. But if the Bible is true, then that means it is a book that accurately describes reality. There are many things the Bible teaches us that we cannot verify through the senses, but we can accept because of our faith in the Bible’s truthfulness, as evidenced by its proofs. God tells us about how He made the world. He describes to us His very nature. He gives us an account of the life and nature of His Son. And He tells us how we can be saved and inherit eternal life (cf. Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-4). We are foolish if we discount these things. Reality is never subjective and God’s word, being truth, cannot logically be subjective. It is not a book subject to private interpretation, but instead it means what it says, and what it says is binding. Let us each strive to learn it aright. At the church of Christ, we make it our goal to know and obey the word of God. If you are interested in learning more of this subject, we invite you to come study and worship with us at the Church of Christ, 197 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis. At the Church of Christ, we seek to serve God now that we might be with Him then, and to so serve, all of our lives. �LOCAL/STATE Daily Sentinel Friday, July 25, 2014 A5 MEIGS COUNTY COMMUNITY CALENDAR MEIGS COUNTY LOCAL BRIEFS Friday, July 25 MARIETTA — The Regional Advisory Council for the Area Agency on Aging will meet at 10 a.m. in the Buckeye Hills-HVRDD Area Agency on Aging Office in Marietta.

Ohio settles lawsuit over workers’ comp overcharging COLUMBUS (MCT) — A years-long legal fight over allegations that hundreds of thousands of Ohio employers were overcharged workers’ compensation premiums from 2001 to 2009 was settled last night. The state agreed to create a $420 million fund to pay claims to employers — many of them small businesses — that had sued over the premiums. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and a group called Pay Us Back Ohio BWC announced the agreement. The $420 million is about half of the $860 million that a Cleveland judge had ordered the bureau to pay in March 2013. An appeals court upheld the bulk of that ruling this spring but ordered a recalculation of the damages that reduced the award to $651 million. The bureau also had been pursuing an appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court. Marks Both sides praised the settlement last night. “Ohio has made major changes to its workers’ compensation system over the past several years,” Steve Buehrer, the bureau’s administrator and CEO, said in a statement. “The policies that were at issue in this litigation in 2007 are not the same ones in place today, and we’re pleased that we have reached a settlement so we can move forward. Improvements have been made to how premiums and discounts are calculated, as well as to billing practices, and premiums are continuing to go down as a result.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Andrew Wiggins has an NBA home. Maybe a temporary one. The Cavaliers signed the No. 1 overall draft pick Thursday, a deal that prevents Wiggins from being traded for 30 days. Wiggins has been linked to a possible blockbuster trade with Minnesota for All-Star forward Kevin Love. But any deal now involving Wiggins can’t be finalized for at least 30 days. The Cavs and Timberwolves have had talks about a trade involving Love for months, long before Cleveland selected Wiggins, the former Kansas standout, with the first pick in May’s draft. Those discussions have intensified lately, and the sides can still reach an agreement on a trade but nothing can be finalized until late August. Now that Wiggins is under contract, the league’s seldomused 30-day rule is in effect. It was designed to prevent teams from circumventing salary cap rules. There have been restrictions placed on trading newly signed rookies dating back at least to the 1998-99 collective bargaining agreement. At that time, rookies were lumped in with all free agents into a rule that prevents any newly signed player from being traded for three months or before Dec. 15 of the next season — whichever is longer. The rule was modified in the 2005 CBA, separating rookie contracts into a different category with the shorter, 30-day timeline between signing date and trade eligibility. The spirit behind the rule is that if a rookie is traded immediately after he signs, it gives the appearance that the acquiring team is the one that is in fact signing him. Cleveland’s decision to sign Wiggins actually makes it easier to trade him. Before his deal, he had zero value on the salary cap but his contract — worth $5.5 million — could allow the Cavs to clear enough room to take on a player like Love, who is sent to earn $15.7 million next season. Minnesota has received offers from other teams, including the Chicago Bulls, who reached out to the Timberwolves this week, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions who requested See WIGGINS | B4 Bowling Green picked to win MAC DETROIT (AP) — Defending champion Bowling Green is the favorite to win this season’s Mid-American Conference title. A poll of media that cover the conference on Wednesday picked the Falcons to finish ahead of Akron in the conference’s East division and defeat projected West champ Toledo in the MAC title game here in December. Bowling Green went 10-4 last season and defeated Northern Illinois in the championship game before losing to Pittsburgh in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. The Falcons will seek to defend their title with new coach Dino Babers, who comes from FBC Eastern Illinois to replace Dave Clawson, who was hired by Wake Forest during the offseason. Sixteen starters, including eight on offense, are back this fall. Quarterback Matt Johnson, who passed for 3,467 yards and 25 touchdowns, and running back Travis Greene, who rushed for 11 touchdowns and a school-record 1,594 yards, lead the way in Babers’ scheme, which averaged more than 48 points per game last season at Eastern Illinois. “It’s a good feeling,” Johnson said. “For the last few years we’ve been the ones fighting to get to the top. “It feels good to know we have the ‘X’ on our backs because it’s something we think is rightfully deserved.” The Falcons are seeking to become the first team to win consecutive conference championships since Miami (Ohio) won a second straight in 2004 and Babers said he’s excited by the chance.

Gordon to meet with league Aug. 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns may soon learn whether they’ll have Josh Gordon this season. The Pro Bowl wide receiver will have an appeal hearing with NFL officials in New York on Aug. 1, a person with knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions. The game-breaking playmaker is facing a possible one-year ban for violating the league’s substance abuse policy for at least the third time. Gordon, who had a history of marijuana abuse in college, was suspended for the first two games last season. He still led the NFL with 1,646 yards receiving. The 23-year-old player is expected to report to training camp Friday and he’ll be on the field Saturday as the Browns have their first practice under new coach Mike Pettine. The Browns have been patiently waiting for a resolution on Gordon’s playing status, and his uncertain future has left a cloud over the team. The Browns first learned of a potential extended suspension on the second day of the NFL draft in May. The ESPN report doused the optimism created after the Browns, who have had only two winning seasons since 1999, drafted quarterback Johnny Manziel. On Wednesday, Pettine told the AP he’s not consumed with worry about whether he’ll have Gordon. “The frustration has really faded,” Pettine said. “It’s just something that’s there. It’s equivalent of having that file folder with all the answers in it and it’s sitting there ready to go. It’s just got a lot of dust. We’re just waiting to hear from the league and we’ll act accordingly.” If Gordon loses his appeal, he could be banned by Commissioner Roger Goodell for a minimum of one year. He would then have to apply for re-instatement. Gordon has complicated his case with two recent legal infractions. He was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated after speeding down a street in Raleigh, North Carolina, last month. In May, he was ticketed for speeding in Ohio, and a passenger in his car was cited for marijuana possession. Pettine said the Browns have no plans to release Gordon. The team intends to support him and give him any help he may need. “Josh is a Cleveland Brown and we want what’s best for him and we want what’s best for us,” Pettine said. “He’s smart. He’s bright. He’s creative. He’s a guy that in a lot of ways that you root for.” �SPORTS B2 Friday, July 25, 2014 Daily Sentinel C-USA commish sees bright future in changing times IRVING, Texas (AP) — Conference USA commissioner Britton Banowsky knows at least one thing won’t change with autonomy for the five power conferences to make their own bylaws. “There’s been a differentiator whether you call them BCS, non-BCS,” Banowsky said Wednesday. “I’m not naive to think that there won’t be some continued differentiation.” Asked then what he’d like C-USA and similar NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision leagues to be called moving forward, Banowsky said, “Call us the second five, and note there’s 32 (conferences).” Regardless of whatever labels and differences there are, Banowsky expects that “second five” leagues to be able to coexist in major football like they always have with the big-money conferences — the SEC, Big 12, Pac-12, ACC and Big Ten. “Our five conferences and their five conferences have a lot of history together, and we’ve always found a way to get in a room and to be good listeners and work it out,” Banowsky said Wednesday during C-USA football media day. “I also think having 60 schools together is just not enough for them to be able to have a base from which to operate. You need a bigger base.” The new College Football Playoff has the 10 FBS leagues contractually obligated for 12 years. That agreement guarantees a spot in one of the CFP’s six bowl games for the highestranked team from among the mid-major leagues — C-USA, the Sun Belt, MAC, Mountain West and American Athletic. That includes consideration for one of the national semifinal games. “We are in a transition from conference realignment to system realignment,” Banowsky said. Rice coach David Bailiff said Conference USA has “to be No. 6. We’ve got to figure out how to be the best” of the other five leagues. “We’re as well off as we’ve ever been. We’ve got a seat at the table if we just take care of business,” said Marshall coach Doc Holliday, whose team is the C-USA preseason favorite. “Before, in the old BCS system, we didn’t have a very good shot at getting that particular deal.” After several seasons of conference realignment nationwide, Conference USA has 13 football teams this season. Charlotte is already competing in other league sports and will move up from the Football Championship Subdivision level next season. Tulsa, Tulane and East Carolina all left C-USA for the American Athletic Conference this year. Old Dominion and West Kentucky make their debut in C-USA, which spans 10 states. “Today, we are kind of on a pivot point, and I think our future is very, very bright,” Banowsky said. “I think this is perhaps the most challenging time in the history of college athletics. It’s certainly the most historic time.” The NCAA board of directors is set to vote Aug. 7 on a proposal to give schools in the highest-profile conferences more influence over college rules. The proposal also would give athletic directors and athletes bigger roles in the legislative process. Among the issues are scholarships providing for the full cost of attendance, something Banowsky feels his league “is farther ahead than even the national discussion” since leaders of C-USA schools have discussed for more than a year, and support. Banowsky said the difference between full cost of attendance and scholarships awarded at the league’s 14 schools range from $1,500 to $5,000. Based on an average of 230 scholar- ship athletes in all sports, that could mean an extra $345,000 to $1.15 million added to athletic budgets depending on how such rules are structured and how applied by each school. At the same time, Banowsky doesn’t expect any calls for an increase in the number of scholarships for football or other sports. He said his understanding is that even under new governance rules, that wouldn’t be something that could be passed solely by the five power conferences. Nor would transfer rules, he said. “There’s no doubt in my mind that all of us are going to co-exist together,” Middle Tennessee coach Rick Stockstill said. “I don’t see this complete separation where it’s them … and we’re the little boys trying to take their ball from them. I think we’re set in Conference USA, set better than some of the other conferences that aren’t in that top five.” Rio athletic chairs on sale Gilbert signs with Browns By Randy Payton BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Justin Gilbert’s got his contract with the Browns. Now he needs a starting job. The rookie cornerback signed a four-year, $12.8 million contract on Wednesday as Cleveland’s other firstyear players, injured veteran and quarterbacks reported for training camp. According to Spotrac.com, Gilbert’s deal includes a $7.6 million signing bonus. The Browns selected Gilbert with the No. 8 overall pick in May’s draft. And while the former Oklahoma State standout is expected to start on the opposite side from Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden, the Browns have made it clear he won’t get any preferential treatment. “We’re not going to hand him that job,” coach Mike Pettine said. “He’s going to have to beat Buster (Skrine) out.” Gilbert reported to camp along with the rest of Cleveland’s rookies, including quarterback Johnny Manziel, who will compete with veteran Brian Hoyer for a starting spot. The Browns will have their first practice Saturday. Gilbert impressed the Browns coaches during spring workouts. The 6-foot, 202-pounder said he was Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande is giving its alumni and the general public a chance to own a piece of the school’s athletic history.

Pettine likes Gilbert’s size and his ability to jam receivers at the line of scrimmage. Gilbert has a size advantage over Skrine, who made 15 starts last season. As they got ready for camp, the Browns also placed rookie running back Terrance West and five other players on the non-football injury list. West, a third-round pick from Towson, went on Twitter to say he’s not dealing with a serious injury. “I’m healthy, ready to go,” West tweeted. “(NO WORRIES) #dawgpound.” West will compete with Ben Tate for the Browns’ starting running back job. Also, the Browns placed defensive lineman Billy Winn, linebacker Tank Carder, offensive tackle Chris Faulk, defensive tackle Jacobbi McDaniel and guard Jeremiah Warren on the non-football injury list. The Browns claimed undrafted rookie offensive tackle Abasi Salimu off waivers from St. Louis and waived defensive back Royce Adams, linebacker Brandon Magee and wide receiver Conner Vernon. Johnny Be Good: Browns expect Manziel to behave BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Johnny will be good. That’s what the Browns expect from Johnny Manziel now that training camp is about to start. Cleveland coach Mike Pettine said he’s not worried about the popular rookie’s wild off-field behavior carrying into the season, and he’s determined not to let any out- side influences affect his decision in picking either Manziel or veteran Brian Hoyer to be his starting quarterback. Pettine, who will open his first training camp on Saturday, discussed Manziel, Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon’s clouded situation and several other topics during an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. Manziel, the former Texas A&M star nicknamed “Johnny Football” for his dazzling skills, made headlines throughout the offseason with his weekend partying. And while most of it was seemingly innocent, a recent photo of him appearing to roll up a dol- lar bill brought him even more scrutiny. Pettine said he’s aware of the photo, and during his recent vacation, he called Manziel to discuss the young QB’s conduct. “I picked up the phone and called him,” Pettine said. “It was a good conversation, positive and I’m confident going forward, especially now that it’s all about football, I think some of this will and should quiet down because football season is different. The offseason is one thing, but it’s all about preparation and I think he knows that in order for him to compete well, he’s going to have to probably be more dedicated than he has ever been.” “Why I love my career in advertising... Every day brings a different challenge and opportunity. Helping these businesses with their goals to achieve additional business gives me a feeling of accomplishment. Working for a newspaper company like Civitas Media gives me great opportunities to sell more than just traditional newspaper advertising. We now can offer web, video, mobile and magazines.

Pettine said Manziel has been dedicated to learning his playbook, and has given the Browns no reason to think he’s going to be a distraction. Pettine believes Manziel is beginning to understand the responsibility that comes along with being a high-profile athlete and social media sensation. “I think that’s a process for him and I think he’s headed along the right path with that,” Pettine said. “I think if you talk to him, he gets it. Some of the things I think he gets a little frustrated with, but I think he’s coming to realize that, ‘Yeah, this all comes with the territory.’” Hoyer, who has worked his way back after undergoing knee surgery, begins camp with a lead over Manziel in their competition to be Cleveland’s starter. Pettine said he would like to name his starter “reasonably quickly,” and that he and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan have discussed how to divide up the practice repetitions evenly. Manziel might have a huge fan following — his No. 2 jersey has outsold all others since April in the NFL’s online store — but Pettine said he won’t be swayed to name him a starter. �CLASSIFIED Daily Sentinel COUNTY : MEIGS Wanted Professional Services A Place to Call Home Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available 60523012 FOSTER PARENTS NEEDED IN YOUR COUNTY!!

(AP) — A Buffalo Bills prospective ownership group that includes rocker Jon Bon Jovi has conducted a feasibility study into buying the NFL franchise and building a stadium in Toronto, a person close to the situation said. The study identified at least three potential stadium sites, details of their plans to purchase the team. Andy Bergmann, responsible for overseeing the Bon Jovi group’s stadium plans, confirmed Thursday in an email to the AP that his company has conducted stadium studies, “but nothing related to any specific site.” “We have undertaken engineering and design studies,” wrote Bergmann, co-founder of Toronto-based Wessex Capital Partners, a growth equity investment firm that specializes in architecture, design and engineering services. “All of our work has been about a generic site and whether it was more rural or urban. We are aware of potential sites in the western NY and southern Ontario region, and are in fact meeting with two Buffalo area developers next week. “No feasibility studies have been undertaken on any site to date.” See STADIUM | B6 Wiggins From Page B1 anonymity because the teams were not publicly commenting on may approach the Timberwolves to make a run at Love, a doubledouble machine and arguably the league’s the process.

But the Warriors have refused to include guard Klay Thompson in any offer, which has been a deal-breaker for the Timberwolves. Cleveland had been reluctant to include Wiggins in a package for Love, but the team has softened its stance and may be willing to part with the 6-foot8 forward with the 44-inch vertical leap. The Cavs are inter- ested in bringing in Love to form a “Big 3” with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. That trio would make the Cavs an overwhelming favorite in the Eastern Conference, and potentially put them in position to win the city’s first major sports championship since 1964. Cleveland also signed rookie Joe Harris, taken with the first pick (No. 33 overall) of the second round. Harris, who played at West Virginia, averaged 7.8 points in four summer league games in Las Vegas. MAC From Page B1 “We’ve got a good defense,” he said, “and that’s huge getting started. This also is the most experienced coaching staff I’ve worked with, so we just need to work at being as fast and efficient as we can be.” Toledo (7-5 last season), did not play a postseason game but welcomes back 19 starters, including 10 on defense. That unit, led by linebacker Junior Sylvestre, will be a focal point early in the season while the Rockets decide which of three potential starting quarterbacks deserves the job. “Our strength is in the offensive line,” said coach Matt Campbell, who welcomes back four starters there while Phillip Ely, Logan Woodside and Michael Julian vie to replace three-year quarterback Terrance Owens. Bowling Green, which won its first league title since 1992 last fall, received 18 first-place votes in the East to Akron’s three. Toledo (11), Northern Illinois (eight) and Central Michigan (two) each garnered first-place votes in the West. Babers is one of four new coaches entering the MAC. Chuck Martin is the new coach at Miami while Mark Whipple arrives on the sideline at Massachusetts. Chris Creighton was hired by Eastern Michigan, which will play its home games on newly installed gray artificial turf this season. The conference title game will be played here Dec. 5 but the winner won’t have the prospect of returning to Ford Field for a bowl game.
