POMEROY — The
droves of children split

their way through the

parents.
The children, typically ages 5-8, were on the

scavenger hunt-type event
sponsored by 4H. The
event gives children a
glimpse of what 4H has to
offer. Clovers are younger

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue
Service and the Treasury Inspector General
for Tax Administration continue to hear from
taxpayers who have received unsolicited calls
from individuals demanding payment while
fraudulently claiming to be from the IRS.
Based on the 90,000 complaints that TIGTA
has received through its telephone hotline,
to date, TIGTA has identified approximately
1,100 victims who have lost an estimated $5
million from these scams.
“There are clear warning signs about these
scams, which continue at high levels throughout the nation,” IRS Commissioner John
Koskinen said. “Taxpayers should remember
their first contact with the IRS will not be a
call from out of the blue, but through official
correspondence sent through the mail. A big
red flag for these scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say they are from
the IRS and urging immediate payment. This
is not how we operate. People should hang up
immediately and contact TIGTA or the IRS.”
Additionally, it is important for taxpayers to
know that the IRS:Never asks for credit card,
debit card or prepaid card information over the
telephone.
Never insists that taxpayers use a specific
payment method to pay tax obligations
Never requests immediate payment over the
telephone and will not take enforcement action
immediately following a phone conversation.
Taxpayers usually receive prior notification of
IRS enforcement action involving IRS tax liens
or levies.
Potential phone scam victims may be told
that they owe money that must be paid immediately to the IRS or they are entitled to big
refunds. When unsuccessful the first time,
sometimes phone scammers call back trying a
new strategy.
Other characteristics of these scams
include:Scammers use fake names and IRS
badge numbers. They generally use common
names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four
digits of a victim’s Social Security number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on
caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS
calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails
to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls
being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or
driver’s license revocation, scammers hang
up and others soon call back pretending to be
from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID
supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone
claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you
should do:If you know you owe taxes or you
think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at
1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that
line can help you with a payment issue, if there
really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no
reason to think that you owe any taxes (for
example, you’ve never received a bill or the
caller made some bogus threats as described
above), then call and report the incident to
TIGTA at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you
should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant”
at FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam”
to the comments of your complaint.

What are you carrying in your pocket?
To round out my vacations
days, I usually stay at our oldest son’s house in the Martinsburg, W.Va., area. I mostly bide
my time by playing golf at a
local course and riding my bike
along the C&amp;O Canal along the
Potomac River.
One morning recently, I first
stopped at the Dunkin’ Donuts
shop on North Queen Street for
a coffee and two of those things

Anyway, as I sat breakfasting
up and working a crossword

an older gentleman who had

attired, although it was the
pocket of his pull-over collared
shirt that gathered my attention.

Pastor
Worse yet is when
you are standing at
a toll booth with a line of cars of
about 250 cars — at least it feels
like it.
Nobody likes to wait. The fastpaced industry has created in all
of us a sense of urgency to be in a
hurry. To wait is to waste time and
“time is money,” they say. There
is one more place we need to go to
and one more thing we must do, so
hurry up!
Unfortunately, God has not
changed his system. His “industry”
and time frame is still the same
as always — slow! Oh, I know I’m
being facetious here — and not
disrespectful at all. But let’s be honest, don’t we always feel like we are
constantly waiting on God?
God seems to take a long time to
answer our prayers, to give us the
breakthrough, to change our kids,
the economy and well, the next
door neighbor. We are constantly
asking God for something and he
seems to take forever. The funny
thing is, he’s never early and he’s
never late — God is always on time.
In fact, he stands ready as he
watches his own children, to bless
them and keep them blessed. The
Prophet Isaiah once said: Isaiah
30:18 (ESV) “Therefore the LORD
waits to be gracious to you, and
therefore he exalts himself to show
mercy to you. For the LORD is a
God of justice; blessed are all those
who wait for him.”
Notice two interesting words on
this verse: the word is “wait.” First,
God waits to be gracious to you and
then at the end of the verse it says
that you wait for him.
What is this that God has to wait
to be gracious to you? He waits
for the opportune time, when the
moment where faith collides with
his nature. When our faith intertwines with his grace and he sees
that trust is the agenda of the day.
God waits on us to believe him for
who he is and what he can and will
do. To expect God is to believe God
and with a total trust in his character, and in who he is grace and
mercy are waiting to be dispersed
into our situation.
King David also reminded us in
Psalm 23:4 “Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life; and I will dwell in the house
of the LORD forever.”
As we wait to be blessed, God
is waiting for faith and trust to be
active without doubt or fear to bless
us at a moment’s time. The word to
wait is also the word to “linger” and
to “long for.”
So how are you waiting for God?
Long for him and he will show up in
your life in amazing ways.
Make it a great day!

Wesley, the mother of John and
Charles Wesley. Joanna had
given birth to several children.
But, she was also a Godly
woman who prayed daily. She
was never so busy with household chores and tending to
her children that she could not
incorporate prayer with God
in her day. She did this by setting a chair in the middle of the
kitchen and by throwing her
apron over her head. This was
a signal to her children that
she spending time with God in
prayer, and that she should not
be bothered.
In this moment, consider
all that God is to you. For
example, He is Creator, particularly from the standpoint that
He has given to you life. He is
Savior, particularly from the
standpoint of the salvation He
extends to us through faith in
the name and redemptive work
of His divine Son, Jesus Christ.

He is Sustainer/Provider,
particularly from the standpoint that He is the source and
supply of all these good blessings we experience. He is longsuffering, particularly from
the mercy and grace He daily
directs our way.
And, we do not make it a
point to give Him time during
the course of our day because
we stuff the pockets of our
days with so many things to
do? Spurred by the image of
that man with the Word of God
included in his bulging shirt
pocket, we need to be stirred to
be God-centered people.
However, the thought did
occurr to me as to why he did
not put some of those items
into his pants pockets. But,
then again, maybe those pockets were full, too.

gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never cast out.

Come to Jesus and let your famished

Three re-elected to Buckeye Rural Co-op
RIO GRANDE — The 79th
Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative annual meeting was held
at the University of Rio Grande
on Aug. 9. More than 900
members and guests attended.
Balloting during the morning
meeting resulted in co-op members returning Wes Williams,
District 5; John Pratt, District
1; and Roy Sprague, District
2, to the board of trustees for
new terms. Williams represents
Pike, Ross and Scioto counties; Pratt represents Lawrence
County; and Sprague represents Gallia County.
David Lester, president,
called the meeting to order and
then introduced the trustees
and manager. He commented
on the size of the crowd and
said he was happy to see the
annual meeting was growing.
Tonda Meadows, executive
vice president and general
manager, introduced the scholarship winners and youth tour
winners.
“When you review the
reports in your August Country
Living magazine,” Meadows
said in her report, “you will see
Buckeye has had another successful year.”
Meadows told members the
operating costs have increased
by less than 7 percent and, dur-

ing the past decade, wholesale
power costs have gone up by
more than 60 percent. She
explained how the Environmental Protection Agency’s rules
and regulations have led to
spending more than $1 billion
at Buckeye Power’s Cardinal
Plant. Buckeye Power now has
one of the cleanest coal-fired
plants in the world, she stated.
However, new EPA greenhouse
gas proposals threaten cost and
reliability while having very
little environmental impact, she
said.
Meadows added, the bottom
line is that these regulations
would unfairly and disproportionately affect members
of electric cooperatives, and
target regions of the U.S. most
dependent on coal for electricity.
Bill Roberts, chief financial
officer of Buckeye Power,
briefed Buckeye REC members on the recently proposed
EPA regulations for existing
coal-fired power plants, which
threaten both the affordability
of power and the stability of
the nation’s electric grid.
“Across the PJM Interconnection, the grid strained to keep
up and came perilously close
to running short of its generation capacity this past winter,”

Re-elected to serve on the Buckeye REC Board of Trustees were John Pratt, District 1; Roy Sprague, District 2; and Wes
Williams, District 5.

said Roberts. “On Jan. 7, the
actual reserve was down to 496
megawatts. Had one of the coal
plants the size of our Cardinal
plant gone down, there would
have been rolling blackouts.
That’s just a fact. It was a sober
awakening for those of us
behind the scenes.”
Roberts encouraged mem-

bers to visit www.action.coop
to send a comment to the EPA
asking the agency to work with
electric cooperatives in developing common sense policies.
Prior to the meeting, a pancake breakfast was served and
the children enjoyed magic
tricks by the Mark Wood Fun
Show. Holzer Health System

offered members screenings
for cholesterol, blood pressure,
blood sugar, skin cancer and
bone density.

Ukraine, Russia parry over Russian aid convoy
Associated Press

KAMENSKSHAKHTINSKY, Russia
— Raising the stakes
in Ukraine’s conflict, a
Russian aid convoy of
more than 200 trucks
pushed up to the border
on Thursday but then
stopped, provocatively
poised to cross into
rebel-held territory.
The Ukrainian government threatened to
use all means available
to block the convoy if
the Red Cross was not
allowed to inspect the
cargo. Such an inspection
would ease concerns that
Russia could use the aid
shipment as cover for a
military incursion in support of the separatists,
who have come under
growing pressure from
government troops.
The United States has
warned Russia that it
needs to secure Ukraine’s
permission for the convoy to enter.
“We’ve made that very
clear to the Russians that
they should not move
these trucks in, without
taking all of the steps the
Ukrainian government
has outlined,” U.S. State
Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said
Thursday.
Amid the tensions
surrounding the convoy,
European Commission
chief Jose Manuel
Barroso called Russian
and Ukrainian leaders to
arrange three-way consultations on ways to de-escalate the crisis. Barroso’s
office said that details will
be worked out through
diplomatic channels.

Ukraine announced
it was organizing its
own aid shipment to the
war-wracked separatist
region of Luhansk.
Complicating the dispute over the dueling
missions, Ukraine said
Thursday it has gained
control over a key town
near Luhansk city, thereby giving it the means to
block the presumed route
that the Russian convoy
would take to the city.
The town,
Novosvitlivka, lies about
40 kilometers (25 miles)
from the border, so if
the Russian trucks did
enter the country, they
potentially could unload
somewhere other than
city itself.
The Russian convoy
set out Thursday morning from a military depot
in the southern Russian
city of Voronezh where
it had been parked since
late Tuesday. Moscow
says the convoy has 262
vehicles, including about
200 trucks carrying aid.
The white-tarped
trucks, some flying the
red flag of Moscow and
escorted by military vehicles, drove down a winding highway through
sunflower fields and then
turned west toward the
rebel-held border crossing of Izvaryne.
But about 28 kilometers (17 miles) from the
border, the trucks pulled
off and parked in a large
field where dozens of
beige tents had been set
up. Drivers in matching
khaki shorts and shirts
piled out and appeared to
be stopping for the night.
The route suggested

Russia has decided not
to abide by a tentative
agreement to deliver
aid to a governmentcontrolled border checkpoint in the Kharkiv
region, where it could
more easily be inspected
by Ukraine and the Red
Cross.
Taking Novosvitlivka
“disrupted the last
opportunity for movement between Luhansk
and other territories
controlled by Russian
mercenaries,” Ukrainian
security council spokesman Andriy Lysenko told
reporters.
Lysenko also said that
if the Russians refused to
let the Red Cross inspect
its cargo “the movement of the convoy will
be blocked with all the
forces available.”
Ukraine suspects the
convoy could be a pretext
for a Russian military
invasion or further support for the pro-Russian
rebels it has been fighting since April.
While the disputed aid
convoy stopped short of
the border, The Guardian
newspaper reported seeing a separate convoy of
Russian military vehicles
crossing into Ukraine
late Thursday.
The paper said a
column of 23 armored
personnel carriers with
Russian military plates
crossed through a gap
in barbed wire fence
into Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine and The West
have long accused Russia
of carrying out such
incursions to help arm
the rebels, claims that
Moscow denies. It was

impossible to independently verify the report.
After a clumsy
and ineffectual start,
Ukraine’s forces have
taken back much of the
territory once held by
rebels.
As the circle around
the separatists tightens,
two of their top figures
have resigned in the past
week. On Thursday, the
rebel Donetsk People’s

Republic said its defense
minister Igor Girkin had
resigned.
Both Girkin and former rebel prime minister
Alexander Borodai,
who was replaced last
week, are Russians and
both were replaced by
Ukrainians. Those moves
could indicate an attempt
by the separatists to distance themselves from
allegations by Kiev and

the West that Russia
supports or directs the
insurgency, charges that
Russia denies.
The Russian aid convoy had been parked
at a military depot in
the southern Russian
city of Voronezh amid
disagreement over how
and where the aid could
be delivered to eastern
Ukraine.

Pope to Koreas: Avoid ‘fruitless’ shows of force
Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea —
Pope Francis called Thursday
for peace and unity on the wardivided Korean Peninsula and
for both sides to avoid “fruitless” criticisms and shows of
force, offering a message of
reconciliation at the start of a
five-day visit to South Korea
that received a stark response
from the North.
North Korea fired three
short-range projectiles into the
sea off its eastern coast about
an hour before Francis landed
in Seoul, and two others a
short while later. North Korea
has conducted several such
tests this year, and it also has
a long history of making sure
it is not forgotten during highprofile events in the South.
Neither Francis nor South
Korean President Park Geunhye referred to the firings in
their speeches at Seoul’s presidential palace, and the Vatican
spokesman sought to downplay the incident altogether,
saying he wasn’t even sure the
pope had been told.
In the first speech of his
first trip to Asia, Francis told
Park, government officials
and regional diplomats that
peace required justice — and
that justice in turn requires
forgiveness, cooperation
and mutual respect. He said
diplomacy must be encouraged so that listening and
dialogue replace “mutual
recriminations, fruitless criti-

cisms and displays of force.”
“We cannot become discouraged in our pursuit of these
goals which are for the good
not only of the Korean people
but of the entire region and the
whole world,” he said, in the
first English-language speech
of his pontificate. Usually
Francis speaks in Italian or his
native Spanish, but the Vatican
said he would deliver at least
four speeches in English on
the trip to accommodate his
Asian audiences.
North Korea’s apparent test
firing was conducted from
Wonsan on its east coast,
according to a South Korean
Defense Ministry official who
spoke on condition of anonymity, citing office rules. It wasn’t
immediately clear what the
projectiles were.
North Korea has expressed
anger over annual military
drills between the United
States and South Korea, which
it says are invasion preparations. A new round of drills,
which Seoul and Washington
call routine and defensive, is
expected to start in coming
days.
As he arrived at an airport
just south of Seoul on the first
papal visit in a quarter century,
the pope shook hands with
four relatives of victims of a
South Korean ferry sinking that
killed more than 300 and two
descendants of Korean martyrs
who died rather than renounce
their faith. Francis on Saturday
will beatify 124 Korean martyrs

who founded the church on the
peninsula in the 18th century,
hoping to give South Korea’s
vibrant and growing church
new models for holiness and
evangelization.
Some elderly Catholics wiped
tears from their faces, bowing
deeply as they greeted the pope
on the tarmac. A boy and girl
in traditional Korean dress presented Francis with a bouquet
of flowers, and he bowed in
return. The pope then stepped
into a small, black, locally made
Kia car that turned heads in
the status-conscious capital,
where many would consider it
too humble for someone of the
pope’s stature.
Francis, however, prefers
simpler cars like the Ford
Focus he uses to zip around
the Vatican.
The main reason for Francis’
trip is to participate in an
Asian Catholic youth festival.
He is to travel to Daejeon on
Friday for his first encounter with the thousands of
Catholics who have flocked
to South Korea for the Asian
version of the World Youth
Day. Organizers, however, said
many Chinese Catholics were
prevented from coming.
A spokesman for the organizing committee, the Rev.
Heo Young-yeop, declined to
give a figure but said “many
students wanted to come but
were unable to come to Korea
because of the complicated
situation,” a reference to the
tense relations between Beijing

and the Holy See, which
haven’t had diplomatic ties
since 1951. “From the church’s
position we are very sorry that
this has happened.”
There was a small breakthrough overnight, however,
when Francis sent a telegram
of greetings to Chinese
President Xi Jinping as he
flew through Chinese airspace.
The last time a pope sought
to come to South Korea — St.
John Paul II in 1989 — Beijing
refused to let his Alitalia charter fly overhead.
Park, the South Korean
president, said she hoped the
pope’s presence would heal
the Korean Peninsula’s “long
wounds of division,” referring
to the 1950-53 Korean War,
which continues to divide the
Koreas along the world’s most
heavily guarded border.
“Division has been a big scar
for all Koreans,” she said.
Francis sought to encourage
the pursuit of peace.
“Korea’s quest for peace is a
cause close to our hearts, for
it affects the stability of the
entire area and indeed of our
whole war-weary world,” he
said. “May all of us dedicate
these days to peace: to praying for it and deepening our
resolve to achieve it.”
The pope is also expected to
meet with some families of victims of the South Korean ferry
sinking in April. The government’s response to the disaster, which killed mostly high
school students, has angered

many South Koreans.
“A lot of bad things keep
happening in our country right
now, and people are going
through tough times,” said
Ryun Sun-hee, a 19-year-old
college student. “So I hope this
event can encourage people
and bring more positive things
to our country.”
South Korea’s church, which
has been growing steadily over
the last half century, is seen as
a model for the future. Local
church officials hope for a continuing increase in believers in
a country that once welcomed
missionaries to help spread the
faith but now sends its own
priests and nuns abroad to
evangelize in other countries.
Park credited Catholics in
South Korea with playing a
big part in making the country
what it has become: South
Korea has risen from poverty,
war and dictatorship into
Asia’s fourth biggest economy.
She called the Korean martyrs
“pioneers who spread freedom and equality,” and said
their sacrifice helped develop
Korean society.
There was high anticipation in South Korea ahead of
the visit. Banners and posters
welcoming the pope decorated
streets and subway stations.
The Yonhap news agency
reported an increase in sales
of rosaries and other Catholic
goods, and special displays
of books on the pope and
Catholicism sprung up in book
stores.

New study explores the sinister side of meerkats
Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG —
One of the most captivating
sights of African wildlife is
that of dark-eyed meerkats
standing side-by-side on
their hind legs, as though
posing for a group photograph. They look cuddly
and endearing. But a new
study says they have a dark
side.
The dominant female
meerkat in a group banishes
the other females when
they give birth, killing and
even eating their offspring
to ensure a plentiful food
supply for the alpha couple’s
own pups and a labor pool
of meerkat babysitters who
don’t have their own young
to rear.
In the mass media, meerkats have a gentler image,
inspiring advertisers, a
character in the animated
movie “The Lion King”
and a TV documentary
series that told the story of a
meerkat family in southern
Africa. That television show,
“Meerkat Manor,” explored
the meerkats’ often harsh
existence but also gave
names to the animal “stars,”
helping to get viewers emotionally involved.
“Flower” was one of those
meerkats. In light of the new
study, “Cannibal” could be
an apt name for a dominant
female meerkat.
The recent study by a
group of British and South
African universities, as well
as the Kalahari Meerkat
Project in South Africa,
builds on observations that
dominant meerkats use
violence to regulate breeding in their own group and
to survive in tough, desert
environments.
“Since meerkats are cute
and fluffy, and have been
saccharine, anthropomorphized poster children for
happy family life, it comes
across as more shocking,” the study’s leader,
Dr. Matthew Bell of the
University of Edinburgh’s
School of Biological
Sciences, wrote in an email
to The Associated Press.
Contrary to the public perception, he wrote, meerkat
lives are “nasty, brutish and
short!”
The study, published in July in Nature
Communications, an online
journal, analyzed the effect

of giving contraceptive jabs
to adult female helpers in 12
groups of meerkats in the
Kalahari Desert to ensure
they could not reproduce
for six months. During that
period, dominant females
were less aggressive toward
the subordinates, foraged
more, gained more weight
and had bigger pups.
The female helpers, in
turn, provided more care
and food for the dominant
female’s offspring, according
to the research.
“We’ve done the first clear
experiment that measures
the value that dominants
gain from suppressing their
subordinates,” Bell wrote.
“Such benefits have always
been assumed, but never
clearly confirmed.”
Conflict occurs in many
species, but meerkat societies in particular provide
researchers with good
opportunities to measure
the costs of that conflict,
said Dr. Andrew Young,
an evolutionary biologist
at Britain’s University
of Exeter who was not
involved in Bell’s study.

“That’s sort of the niche
in which meerkats fit, as a
nice model because there’s
very strong hierarchy but
subordinates do still try to
breed,” Young said. In contrast, he said, only dominant
female mole rats breed and
the subordinate mole rats
don’t even try to reproduce.
Meerkats are also competitive in captivity, said
Agnes Maluleke of the
Johannesburg zoo, which
has nearly 20 meerkats.
The zoo has had to split a
group when a young meerkat challenged a dominant
but weakening one in a
vicious scrap that Maluleke
described as: “I’m fighting
for life or death because I

want to take over.”
Meerkats, who are a member of the mongoose family
and can have several litters
a year, generally live fewer
than 10 years in the wild but
survive longer in the more
secure environment of a zoo,
Maluleke said.

MICK’S BARBER SHOP
Welcomes

FreeMe, a South African
rehabilitation center for
indigenous creatures, annually receives dozens of
meerkats, many of which
were part of the illegal pet
trade and had started biting
their owners. Nicci Wright,
a senior animal manager

at the shelter, said some
meerkats had been named
Timon, the meerkat in
Disney’s “The Lion King.”
“People think they’re
very sweet and very cute,”
Wright said. “They haven’t
spoken to anybody who
knows them properly.”

Praise for ‘small-town boy’
AP Photo | Empire Super Sprints, Inc.

This July 5, 2014 photo provided by Empire Super Sprints, Inc., shows sprint car
driver Kevin Ward Jr., in the vicotry lane with his car at the Fulton Speedway in
Fulton, N.Y. Ward was killed Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014 at the Canandaigua Motorsports
Park in Central Square, N.Y., when the car being driven by Tony Stewart struck the
20-year-old who had climbed from his crashed car and was on the darkened dirt
track trying to confront Stewart following a bump with Stewart one lap earlier.

TURIN, N.Y. (AP) — Kevin
Ward Jr.’s friends, family and
fellow racing enthusiasts
overflowed a high school
auditorium Thursday to grieve
and share stories about the
20-year-old dirt-track racer
who was struck and killed by a
car driven by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.
With Ward lying in an open
casket decorated with racing
flags and piled with orange
flowers, his family’s team
colors, mourners shed tears
and laughed at favorite stories
about the boy who began racing when he was barely more
than a toddler. The 90-minute
service was held at the South
Lewis Senior High School
auditorium to accommodate
crowds of people from the
close-knit central New York

racing community.
“Even if he had rough day,
he always had a smile,” a tearful Dylan Swiernick said of his
best friend and car-obsessed
buddy. “We were just two
small-town boys trying to
make it in the big world. He
was always working on something. It was unbelievable how
smart he was. He never got
down on himself when things
weren’t going his way.”
Ward, a 2012 South Lewis
graduate, was buried in his
nearby hometown of Port Leyden, 55 miles from Syracuse.
“He was an amazing sprint
car driver and had a family like
no other,” his cousin, Amanda
Ward, said in a eulogy. “We
used to tell him before every
race, ‘Drive it like you stole it.’
He never let us down.”

His sister, Kayla Herring,
said the orange and white lapel
ribbons worn by family and
friends were to signify that
the team colors would remain
bright, even in the darkest
times.
There was barely a dry eye
in the auditorium as a recording of the Dixie Chicks singing “Godspeed, little man,
sweet dreams, little man,” was
played at the request of Ward’s
mother.
After the service, as Ward’s
casket was taken to the hearse
for the short trip to the cemetery, mourners let loose helium
balloons in orange, white and
black.
Ward died Saturday night

Manfred 1
vote short in
MLB election
BALTIMORE (AP) — Rob Manfred was one
vote short of the required three-quarters majority Thursday in balloting to succeed Bud Selig as
baseball commissioner, a person familiar with the
balloting told The Associated Press.
Manfred, baseball’s chief operating officer,
received 22 votes and Boston Red Sox Chairman
Tom Werner got eight, the person said, speaking
on condition of anonymity because no statements
were authorized.
Team officials met in small groups in midafternoon, resumed and then took a dinner break. Selig
took an elevator upstairs.
“I believe we’re going to stay until we get it
figured out,” Houston Astros owner Jim Crane
told two kids in New York Yankees gear outside
the meeting room before posing for a photograph
with them. When questioned by reporters, Crane
wouldn’t discuss the matter further.
The third candidate, MLB Executive Vice President of Business Tim Brosnan, dropped out just
before the start of voting.
Teams cast secret written votes in MLB’s first
contested election for a new commissioner in 46
years. Selig, who has run baseball for 22 years,
plans to retire in January.
Each candidate spoke to owners for about an
hour Wednesday and met in sessions Thursday
morning with groups of 10 teams.
“I wouldn’t even guess,” Los Angeles Angels
owner Arte Moreno said Wednesday when asked
whether the election would produce a commissioner.
Werner was supported by Chicago White Sox
owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Moreno, and the eightteam bloc opposed to Manfred held throughout
the afternoon. Other teams have said Reinsdorf
wants a commissioner who will take a harsher
stance in labor negotiations for the deal to replace
the collective bargaining agreement that expires
after the 2016 season.
Selig, 80, has ruled baseball since September
1992, first as chairman of baseball’s executive
council and since July 1998 as commissioner. The
second-longest-serving head of baseball behind
Kenesaw Mountain Landis (1920-44), Selig
announced last fall that he plans to retire in January 2015. The trio of candidates was picked by a
seven-man succession committee chaired by St.
Louis Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr.
Manfred, 55, has been involved in baseball since
1987, starting as a lawyer with Morgan, Lewis &amp;
Bockius who assisted in collective bargaining. He
became MLB’s executive vice president for labor
relations and human resources in 1998, received
an expanded role of executive vice president of
economics and league affairs in 2012 and last
September was promoted to chief operating officer. He helped lead negotiations for baseball’s last
three labor contracts with players and the joint
drug agreement that was instituted in 2002 and
has been repeatedly strengthened.
Werner, 64, was the controlling owner of the
San Diego Padres from 1990-94, triggering fan
criticism for the payroll-paring departures of Fred
McGriff, Gary Sheffield, Tony Fernandez, Randy
Myers and Benito Santiago. He has been part of
the Red Sox ownership group since 2002, a period

Schedule sends LeBron to Miami
NEW YORK (AP)
— LeBron James will
play his first game since
rejoining the Cleveland
Cavaliers at home Oct.
30 against New York,
then return to Miami for
the first time on Christmas.
The NBA regular season will open Oct. 28,
with the NBA champion
San Antonio Spurs hosting the Dallas Mavericks
in one of the three games
that night.
The league released
its schedule, featuring
a lengthened All-Star
break, on Wednesday
night during an NBA
TV special, with James’
return to his original
NBA team putting the
Cavaliers in a number of
prime positions.
That includes the game
at Miami in the third
spot on the five-game
Christmas schedule,
traditionally a highlight
of the NBA season.
James led the Heat to
two championships and

four NBA Finals appearances in four years before
deciding to return to his
native Ohio.
The other Christmas
day games are: Washington at New York;
Oklahoma City at San
Antonio in a rematch of
the Western Conference
finals; the Los Angeles
Lakers at Chicago; and
Golden State at the Los
Angeles Clippers.
The nightcap is a
rematch of a testy Christmas night matchup from
last season that featured
multiple ejections. The
Clippers then went on
to beat the Warriors in
seven games in the first
round of the playoffs.
The last game before
the All-Star break in New
York is Feb. 12, when
the Cavaliers visit the
Bulls. The regular season
doesn’t resume until the
following Thursday, two
days later than usual,
with a doubleheader on
TNT.
The three-game open-

ing night closes with
Houston visiting the Lakers, which should feature
Kobe Bryant’s return
from an injury-shortened
2013-14 season. Derrick
Rose’s first regular-season action since seasonending knee surgery
early last season should
come the next night,
when Chicago visits the
Knicks on the first full
night of action.
Other items of note:
—A 12-game Martin
Luther King Jr. Day, four
televised nationally, is
highlighted by another
Cleveland-Chicago
matchup.
—The NBA Finals
rematches between
the Spurs and Heat are
scheduled for Feb. 6 in
San Antonio and March
31 in Miami.
—If a Kevin Love trade
to Cleveland is completed, his return to Minnesota would be Jan. 31.
—James’ first game
in San Antonio since his
final one in a Miami uni-

form is March 12.
—Pau Gasol heads
back to Los Angeles for
the first time since leaving the Lakers for Chicago on Jan. 29.
—Jason Kidd’s first
visit to Brooklyn since
leaving the Nets to coach
Milwaukee is Nov. 19.
—International
games scheduled for
Mexico City (HoustonMinnesota on Nov. 12)
and London (New YorkMilwaukee on Jan. 15).
—TNT will televise
53 regular-season games,
including an opening
night doubleheader and
19 Thursday night doubleheaders, along with
the Feb. 13-15 All-Star
festivities.
—ESPN has 75 games
in the regular season
and ABC will show 15.

Redskins appeal decision on team name
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The
Washington Redskins on Thursday
formally appealed a ruling that
stripped the team of trademark
protection, the latest legal maneuver in the franchise’s attempt to
defend its name against those who
consider it a racial slur.
The team announced that it had
filed its complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
of Virginia and that it “points out
the many errors” in the decision
by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office.
The office’s Trademark Trial and
Appeal Board voted 2-1 on June
18 to cancel six uses of “Redskins”
trademarked from 1967 to 1990,
saying the name is “disparaging of
Native Americans.”
“We believe that the Trademark
Trial and Appeal Board ignored
both federal case law and the
weight of the evidence, and we
look forward to having a federal

court review this obviously flawed
decision,” Redskins lawyer Bob
Raskopf said in the team’s statement.
The team had previously said it
would appeal the ruling and had
two months to do so. The trademark protection remains in place
while the matter makes its way
through the courts, a process that
could take years. A similar ruling
by the trademark board in 1999
was overturned on a technicality in
2003. Native Americans have been
challenging the trademark since
1992.
The Redskins say they will ask
the court to consider “serious
constitutional issues,” including
whether the ruling penalizes the
team’s right of free speech and
whether the team has been unfairly
deprived of “valuable and long-held
intellectual property rights.”
The group of five Native
Americans challenging the name

is equally confident.
“This effort is doomed to fail,”
said Amanda Blackhorse, the
lead plaintiff. “But if they want to
prolong this litigation which has
already gone on for 22 years, I
guess they have that prerogative.”
The Redskins have been under
sustained pressure to defend the
name over the last 18 months, with
major political, church and sports
figures joining the debate and saying it should be changed.
Team owner Dan Snyder has
vowed never to change the name,
calling it a “badge of honor.”
“If people wouldn’t dare call
a Native American a ‘redskin’
because they know it is offensive,
how can an NFL football team have
this name?” Blackhorse said. “We
know that time is on our side for
a change in the team’s name, and
we are confident we will win once
again at this stage of the litigation.”

Browns starting Hoyer, not Manziel
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Brian Hoyer has held off
rookie Johnny Manziel for at
least another week.
Browns coach Mike Pettine
has chosen Hoyer to start at
quarterback ahead of Manziel
in Cleveland’s second exhibition game on Monday night
at Washington against Robert
Griffin III and the Redskins.
Pettine’s decision is somewhat surprising since he has
stated that the quarterback
competition is “open” and
Hoyer started the preseason
opener last week at Detroit.
Pettine has said the two quarterbacks will share the snaps
with Cleveland’s first-team
offense against the Redskins.
“It’s just something right

now where we are comfortable with Brian going out
there to start the game,” Pettine said Thursday. “I think
it’s a little overblown as to
who the starter is going to
be. The key component, as
I’ve stated earlier this week, is
that we are going to balance
the reps.
“We will play it a little by
ear as it goes on, we haven’t
truly decided as far as the
rotation but the goal is, for
when we look at the stat
sheet at halftime, that they
both have the same amount
of repetitions and hopefully
they both get a good amount
of work.”
Earlier this week, Pettine
did not know if the quarter-

“Nothing In My Hands I Bring, Simply To The Cross I Cling”

backs would rotate by series
or quarter. Pettine did say
Cleveland’s starter would play
“in the neighborhood” of a
half.
Hoyer and Manziel have
been competing for the starting job since training camp
opened last month, and their
back-and-forth battle appears
to be headed into its final
days.
Neither QB has taken
control of the job, leading to
endless speculation about
who is leading and who needs
to make up ground.
Working exclusively with
Cleveland’s starters last week,
Hoyer, in his first game action
since sustaining a seasonending knee injury in 2013,
completed 6 of 14 passes for
92 yards and set up two field
goals.
Manziel, the immensely
popular first-round pick from
Texas A&amp;M, only played
with the second-stringers and
completed 7 of 11 passes for
63 yards. He also rushed for
a team-high 27 yards on six
carries.
Manziel’s pro debut helped
NFL Network set a ratings

record for an exhibition game.
Pettine said he had no
issues with Manziel starting against the Redskins in
a nationally televised game
expected to draw a large audience.
“I’m not concerned about
Johnny on a big stage,” he
said. “He’s proved throughout
his career he can handle it.”
Hoyer began camp with a
lead on Manziel, but the former Heisman Trophy winner
has been closing the gap as
he learns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan’s detailed
system.
On Tuesday, the team
signed veteran quarterback
Rex Grossman, who has
played under Shanahan and
should be able to help Hoyer
and Manziel get more comfortable with the offense.
Pettine wants to name his
starter for the Sept. 7 season
opener at Pittsburgh before
the Browns’ third preseason
game on Aug. 23 against St.
Louis.
It’s possible the QBs’ performances against the Redskins could factor heavily into
Pettine’s decision.

want to be a part of the upcoming 2014 football
season in an extra capacity.

cover and write football games in the tri-county
area.
The stringer job pays $20 per game for 10
games a year. Anyone interested in covering football games should send an email resume to Bryan
Walters at bwalters@civitasmedia.com
OVP currently has stringers for the football
squads at both Meigs and Wahama.

Kirksey making
his presence
felt to the Browns
BEREA, Ohio (AP)
— When veteran linebacker Karlos Dansby
looks at rookie Chris
Kirksey, it’s like staring
in the mirror.
And what’s looking
back at him has potential — a lot of it.
“He reminds me of
me,” Dansby said. “He
has potential to be one
of the best to ever do it
if he applies himself.”
Kirksey is impressing everyone so far in
his first NFL training
camp, and he’s doing
it by leaning on the
veterans around him,
like Craig Robertson
— whom he is battling
for playing time at the
weakside position —
and Dansby.
The 6-2, 235-pound
rookie’s attitude and
work ethic hasn’t been
lost on Dansby, who is
entering his 11th year
in the league. And to
help Kirksey along,
Dansby has been trying
to lead by example.
” I try to show him
more than I can tell
him,” Dansby said. “I
just try to go out and
show him, to work hard
every day, getting to
the ball, just some of
the fundamental things
that he’s going to need
to be great.”
Kirksey’s presence at
camp hasn’t been lost
on Browns coach Mike
Pettine, either. Pleased
with the young linebacker’s performance
so far — he had three
tackles in the Browns’
preseason opener —
Pettine said earlier in
the week that Kirksey
would get more time
with the first-team
defense in practice.

No Job Too BIG or small

“It makes me feel
good that I’m showing
improvement and I’m
showing my talents,
what I’m capable of
doing,” Kirksey said.
“That’s what I’m going
to continue to do.”
And there he was
on Wednesday, standing alongside Dansby
on a number of plays,
before breaking into
coverage against both
tight ends and even a
couple of receivers in
team drills.
Kirksey is being
praised for his pass
coverage and ability
to play both the inside
and outside linebacker
positions, a type of versatility the Browns are
already counting on.
“Just having that type
of experience in college, it definitely helps
to translate over to the
NFL,” Kirksey said.
“I’m kind of in a comfortable role now when
it comes to sticking
tight ends and sticking
running backs.”
He has also been
working to improve his
run defense.
“I knew once I get to
this level, you can’t just
be a one-sided player.
You got to learn to play
both sides and that’s
covering and stopping
the run,” Kirksey said.
Though overshadowed by the likes of
Johnny Manziel, Kirksey is one of a handful
of rookies who could
be major contributors
early in the season. But
exceeding expectations
early is nothing new for
Kirksey. After all, he
was a two-time captain
at Iowa, starting in his
junior year.

Florida St attempts to maintain historic offense
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)
— Jimbo Fisher isn’t looking
for the record-setting numbers
his Florida State offense put up
en route to winning the final
BCS national championship.
The coach doesn’t believe the
Seminoles need that.
“I don’t talk yards or anything like that or points,”
Fisher said. “It’s about the
efficiency of our offense and
how it fits our defense. I think
we can be very efficient. We
just have to continue to execute
whether we throw it, we run
it or we keep the versatility
of what passes and things we
throw.
“We’ll feature the talents of
the players we have.”
The Seminoles offense lost
two receivers, two running
backs and a center to the NFL,
including first-round receiver
Kelvin Benjamin, fourth round
running back Devonta Freeman
and fourth round center Bryan
Stork.
Expectations remain high,
however, for a group that
returns Heisman-winning quarterback Jameis Winston, one
of the most prolific receivers in
FSU history (Rashad Greene)
and an offensive line with four
senior starters. Also returning is running back Karlos
Williams, who averaged eight
yards per carry in 2013.
The Seminoles set an FBS
record with 723 points scored
in 2013 and their 7,267 offen-

sive yards were an Atlantic
Coast Conference record. And
Fisher doesn’t run a hurryup-every-play offense that has
trended throughout college
football.
“The next step is just keep
that thing going, keep putting
points up, keep executing day
in and day out,” Williams said.
Florida State may lean on
the run game more early in the
season with a veteran offensive
line and Williams running the
ball while the receiver position
gets sorted out. But there’s still
the reigning Heisman winner
under center and All-ACC tight
end Nick O’Leary will have a
larger role.
“We may feature different
plays, different players in different ways,” Fisher said. “Or
may ask them to do the same
things if they do them as well
as we did last year. We just
have to figure out what they do
well and feature those and keep
a great balance with physicality of running it and still being
able to throw it.”
———
Here are five things to watch
for when the Seminoles open
the season Aug. 30:
RUNNING MAN: The Seminoles lost 1,600 rushing yards
and 56 percent of the ground
game from the title team to the
NFL. Enter Karlos Williams.
The preseason all-ACC selection ran for 748 yards and 11
touchdowns after switching

from safety last season. The
senior needs to prove he can
carry the load from the opening
whistle with only youngsters
joining him in the backfield.
NO FLY ZONE: FSU boasted
the top pass defense in the
nation in 2014 and had a school
record 26 interceptions. The
secondary remains the deepest position on the team. P.J.
Williams and Jalen Ramsey are
stars. Ronald Darby is one of
the top cover cornerbacks in
the country and Nate Andrews
led the team with four interceptions in 2013. Safety Tyler
Hunter is back from a neck
injury.
HELP THE HEISMAN:
Receiver Rashad Greene
returns ranked in the top seven
in FSU history in receptions,
receiving yards and receiving
touchdowns. There is no significant experience at the position outside of Greene. Jameis
Winston needs someone to
emerge from sophomores Bobo
Wilson and Kermit Whitfield,
seniors Jarred Haggins and
Christian Green and five-star
freshmen Travis Rudolph and
Ermon Lane.
JUNIOR JACKED: Defensive
lineman Mario Edwards, Jr. is
ready to join the ranks of the
truly dominant Florida State
lineman. The former No. 1
recruit in the nation reshaped
his body and diet, increased his
speed, is squatting 600 pounds
and benching 450 pounds. The

goal is double-digits sacks and
consistent domination.
TRENCH DIGGING: The
Seminoles return five seniors,
including four starters to the
offensive line. The group has a
combined 112 starts between

left tackle Cam Erving, right
tackle Bobby Hart, center
Austin Barron, left guard Josue
Matias and right guard Tre
Jackson. This unit should set
the tone for an offense that lost
several starting skill players.

User’s guide to the new College Football Playoff
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

Major college football
finally has a playoff. It’s
called the College Football Playoff.
Really.
Here’s how it will work
and what you need to
know.
THINK BCS
Those involved in putting the playoff together
and now managing it
cringe when it’s suggested that the new
system is BCS 2.0, but to
understand how it works,
it helps to keep in mind
how the Bowl Championship Series worked.
In the BCS, there
were four, and then later
five games played each
season. Only one, the
national championship
game, had anything to do
with the national championship.
The others were glitzy
bowl games played in
showcase stadiums
that — hopefully — had
compelling matchups. Six
conferences had automatic bids to those games,
and other teams could
earn automatic entry.
The new system will
have a total of seven
games, including two

national semifinals and a
final that will determine
the champion. The four
other games will be glitzy
bowl games played in
showcase stadiums that
— hopefully — will have
compelling matchups.
There will no longer be
automatic bids for six
conference champions, as
was the case for the BCS.
Now five conferences
(the Big Ten, Big 12,
SEC, ACC and Pac-12)
each have guaranteed a
spot for their champions
in either the semifinals
or one of the four glitzy
bowls. There will also be
a guaranteed spot for the
best team from the five
FBS conferences (American Athletic Conference,
Mountain West, Sun Belt,
Conference USA and
Mid-American).
PICKING THE
TEAMS
A 13-member selection committee will pick
the teams to play in
the semifinals, and set
some of the matchups in
those other bowl games.
The committee will also
release a weekly top 25
starting, Oct. 21. On Dec.
7, the matchups will be
revealed.
The committee members:

—Chairman Jeff Long,
athletic director, Arkansas
—Barry Alvarez, athletic director, Wisconsin.
—Lt. Gen. Mike Gould,
former superintendent
of the United States Air
Force Academy.
—Pat Haden, athletic
director, Southern California.
—Tom Jernstedt, former NCAA executive vice
president.
—Oliver Luck, athletic
director, West Virginia.
—Archie Manning,
former Mississippi quarterback.
—Tom Osborne, former Nebraska coach.
—Dan Radakovich, athletic director, Clemson.
—Condoleezza Rice,
Stanford professor and
former secretary of state
—Mike Tranghese,
former commissioner of
the Big East Conference.
—Steve Wieberg,
former college football
reporter, USA Today.
—Tyrone Willingham,
former head coach of
Notre Dame, Stanford
and Washington.
WHERE WILL THE
GAMES BE PLAYED?
The semifinals will
rotate through six bowl
games: the Rose (Pasa-

dena, California), Orange
(Miami), Sugar (New
Orleans), Fiesta (Glendale, Arizona), Cotton
(Arlington, Texas) and
Peach (Atlanta). When
those games don’t host a
semifinal, they will put on
one of the glitzy bowls.
The semifinals this season will be played in Pasadena and New Orleans.
The championship
game will be bid out like
the Super Bowl and move
all over the country. The
first one will be played at
AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the
Dallas Cowboys and the
Cotton Bowl.
WHEN?
Three games will be

played back-to-back-toback on New Year’s Eve
and there will be another
tripleheader on New
Year’s Day. Adjustments
will be made in the future
if Dec. 31 or Jan. 1 falls
on a Sunday so as to not
conflict with the NFL.
The championship
game will always be
played on a Monday, at
least a week after the
semifinals.
This season the semifinals will be on Jan. 1. The
Rose will kick off around
5 p.m. EST. The Sugar
around 8:30 p.m. EDT.
The championship game
in Texas will be played
the night of Jan. 12.
The Rose and Sugar

bowls will always be
played on New Year’s Day,
so in most seasons the
semifinals will be played
on New Year’s Eve.
TV
All these games will
be shown on ESPN. It
reportedly paid about
$7.2 billion for the entire
package.
WHERE DOES ALL
THAT MONEY GO?
About 85 percent of
it will go to the Big
Five conferences. The
other five FBS leagues
will split the rest, but
don’t feel too badly for
them. Most will be making about five times the
amount they made with
the BCS.

Associated Press

Wiley, who played defensive
line in the league for 10 seasons. “They are leaning on
it to cope with the anxiety
of the game.”
The NFL is fighting
lawsuits on two fronts —
concussions and painkillers — both of which, some
argue, could be positively
influenced if marijuana
were better tolerated by the
league.
The science, however,
is slow-moving and expensive and might not ever be
conclusive, says behavioral
psychologist Ryan Vandrey,
who studies marijuana use
at John Hopkins. Marijuana
may work better for some
people, while narcotics and
other painkillers might be
better for others.
“Different medicines
work differently from person to person,” Vandrey
said. “There’s pretty good
science that shows marijuana does have pain relieving
properties. Whether it’s a
better pain reliever than the
other things available has
never been evaluated.”
Washington, who is part
of the concussion lawsuit,
is working with a biopharmaceutical and phytomedical company called
KannaLife Sciences that
recently received licensing
from the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) to develop
a drug to treat concussions
using derivatives from
medical marijuana.
Co-founder Thoma Kikis,
who has been working on
cannibas-based solutions to
concussions for a few years,

said he approached the
NFL about signing on to
the research.
“They didn’t want to
meet, didn’t want to take a
position to create any kind
of controversy,” Kikis said.
“I understand that. But
ultimately, they’re going
to have to make a decision
and look into different
research.”
NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell has treaded
gingerly around the subject.
Before last season’s Super
Bowl he said the league
would “follow the medicine”
and not rule out allowing
players to use marijuana
for medical purposes. An
NFL spokesman reiterated
that this month, saying if
medical advisers inform the
league it should consider
modifying the policy, it
would explore possible
changes.
A spokesman for the
players union declined comment on marijuana, beyond
saying the union is always
looking for ways to improve
the drug-testing policy. But
earlier this year, NFLPA
executive director DeMaurice Smith said the marijuana policy is secondary when
set against the failure to
bring Human Growth Hormone testing into the game.
Some believe relaxing the
marijuana rules could be
linked to a deal that would
bring in HGH testing.
“I’ve heard that in conversations,” said Wiley, a plaintiff in the painkiller lawsuit.
“And I think it’s despicable
that you’d pit them against
each other.”
The NFL drug policy
has come under even more
scrutiny this summer, after
the NFL handed down a
season-long suspension of

Browns receiver Josh Gordon for multiple violations
of the NFL substance-abuse
policy. That suspension,
especially when juxtaposed
against the two-game
ban Ray Rice received for
domestic violence, has led
some to say the league’s priorities are out of whack.
In June, Harvard Medical
School professor emeritus
Lester Grinspoon, one of
the forefathers of marijuana
research, published an open
letter to Goodell, urging
him to drop urine testing
for weed altogether and,
more importantly, fund a
crash research project for
a marijuana-based drug
that can alleviate the consequences of concussions.
“As much as I love to

watch professional football, I’m beginning to feel
like a Roman in the days
when they would send
Christians to the lions,”
Grinspoon said. “I don’t
want to be part of an
audience that sees kids
ruin their future with this
game, and then the league
doesn’t give them any
recourse to try to protect
themselves.”
The league does fund
sports-health research at the
NIH to the tune of a $30
million donation it made
in 2012. But the science
moves slowly no matter
where it’s conducted and,
as Vandrey says, “the NFL
is in business for playing
football, not doing scientific
research.”

Running down contenders not named Jameis
The preseason front-runner for
the Heisman Trophy last season
was easy. Texas A&amp;M quarterback Johnny Manziel won it as a
freshman the year before, so there
was little reason to pick against
him.
No different this year. Florida
State’s Jameis Winston won it as
a freshman last season while leading the Seminoles to the national
title, so, again, no sense in looking elsewhere.
But Winston is far from a lock.
Manziel couldn’t come through
with another Heisman last season and there has only been one
repeat winner — Archie Griffin in

1974 and 1975 — in the 78-year
history of college football’s most
prestigious award.
With that in mind, we are
going to run down six other players who should have a chance at
taking home the Heisman:
———
Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon.
The Ducks’ leader was a strong
Heisman contender last season
before being derailed by a knee
injury. He still set a school record
with 4,380 yards of total offense
and accounted for 40 TDs,
though was disappointed when
Oregon fell out of national-title
contention. After bypassing

a shot at the NFL, the junior
returns to lead an offense that
piles up points and yards like a
video game. If he stays healthy,
Mariota is one of the nation’s
best dual-threat quarterbacks and
could find himself holding that
bronze trophy.
Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State.
The Buckeyes are taking it slow
with Miller after offseason shoulder surgery, but he is expected to
be ready for the opener against
Navy on Aug. 30. Despite missing nearly three full games with
a sprained knee last season, he
passed for 2,094 yards and 24
touchdowns, and ran for 1,068

yards and 12 scores. The Big Ten’s
two-time MVP, he bypassed a shot
at the NFL to return to Columbus
for his senior season and is motivated to make it a big one.
Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor. The
Bears set an NCAA record with
52.4 points per game last season,
and Petty was the conductor, setting 17 school records while leading Baylor to its first Big 12 title
and only BCS bowl. The senior
was the Big 12 offensive player of
the year after passing for 4,200
yards and 32 TDs — with just
three interceptions — and running for 14 more scores. Expect
more big numbers from the Bears

and Petty.
Myles Jack, LB, UCLA. UCLA
teammate Brett Hundley might
have a better shot at winning the
Heisman, but we wanted to get a
defensive player in the mix. Jack
made a big splash as a freshman
last season by becoming a wheredid-he-come-from two-way player,
rushing for 120 yards in his first
game, scoring four TDs the next.
But Jack’s NFL future is as a
linebacker, and the Bruins have
limited him to that side of the ball
in fall camp. He might see some
time at running back again this
season, but he is going to have an
impact on D regardless.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) —
Arizona State offensive lineman Edward Sarafin has told
a local magazine he is gay,
making him the first active
Division I football player to
come out.
A fifth-year senior, Sarafin
told Phoenix-based Compete,
a magazine for gay sports,
that he began telling teammates about his sexual orientation last spring.
“It was really personal
to me, and it benefited my
peace of mind greatly,”
he said in the magazine’s
August issue.
The walk-on lineman, who
goes by the nickname Chip,
follows the precedent set by
St. Louis Rams linebacker
Michael Sam. Sam told team-

mates he was gay during his
playing days, but did not come
out publicly until after finishing his career at Missouri.
Massachusetts sophomore
Derrick Gordon became the
first active openly-gay Division I basketball player when
he came out in April.
Brooklyn Nets forward
Jason Collins became the
first active openly-gay player
in one of the four major U.S.
professional sports leagues
when he came out to Sports
Illustrated in April 2013. He
became the first openly-gay
player to play in an NBA
game after signing with the
Nets last season.
Numerous other athletes
have come out as gay the
past couple of years, opening

the door for players like Sarafin to do it without much
fear of repercussions from
teammates or coaches.
“The entire athletics
department is extremely
proud of Chip and is
unequivocally supportive of
him,” Arizona State athletic
director Ray Anderson said
in a statement.
A 6-foot-6, 320-pound lineman from Gilbert, Arizona,
Sarafin graduated with a
degree in biomedical engineering last spring and is
currently in Arizona State’s
master’s program. He has yet
to play in a game, working
as a scout-team player early
in his career and providing
depth on the Sun Devils’
offensive line last season.
