POMEROY — Voter registration will officially close as
of Monday, Oct. 6. You can
still register to vote after the
cutoff date, but you will not be
eligible to vote in the Nov. 4
General Election.
Absentee voting and/or early
voting will begin Sept. 30 and
will continue on a daily basis
at the Meigs County Board of
Elections on Mulberry Heights
at the Meigs County Annex in
Pomeroy. The Meigs County
Board of Elections will be
closed Oct. 13 in observance of

Columbus Day, a state holiday.
The hours for voting are as
follows: Sept. 30 through Oct. 3,
8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Oct. 6, 8 a.m.
to 9 p.m. (last day to register to
vote); Oct. 7 through Oct. 10, 8
a.m. to 5 p.m.; Oct. 14, through
Oct. 17, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Oct.
20 to Oct. 24, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.;
Oct. 25, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Oct.
26, 1-5 p.m.; Oct. 27 to Oct. 31,
8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Nov. 1, 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m.; Nov. 2, 1-5 p.m.; and
the last day to vote is Nov. 3
from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Any registered voter in the
county may request and vote
an absentee voter’s ballot (or

provisional ballot beginning
Oct. 7) in person during these
business hours. Registered
voters may also call the Meigs
County Board of Elections at
740-992-2697 to request an
absentee application so the
board of elections can send
ballots by mail.
Contrary to popular belief,
absentee ballots are processed
prior to Election Day according to Ohio law. The ballots
are scanned prior to Election
Day (this process can begin
10 days before the election),
but not tabulated. This means
that the totals are not available

until election night. Absentee
votes are a part of the “unofficial count” on election night.
Valid absentee ballots that are
received after the close of polls
on Election Day (postmarked
by Nov. 4) through the 10th
day after the election are
included in the official canvas.
Provisional ballots are the
ballots that do not get counted
until after Election Day, but
are included in the official canvas if certified as valid. Voting
a provisional ballot means that
the voter has moved within
the county and changed their
voting precinct or has moved

impart biblical truths, deliverance and healing,
illuminate, activate, and impart spiritual gifts to
make the believers strong in their Christian destiny (Romans 1:11). She has embraced the charge
found in 2 Timothy 4:2 “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke
and encourage — with great patience and careful
instruction.”

RACINE — They say the taste of
victory is sweet.
Now at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field, the sound of victory
is just as sweet for the Southern
Tornadoes. Recently, a new victory
bell was donated to the athletic
program by Jordan Pickens, class
of 2009, and his wife, Calee. Both
are employees of Southern Local
Schools.
“We purchased an old church bell
from St. Clairsville, Ohio, with the
hopes to have it ready for the first
home game of the 2014 season,”
Jordan said. “A lot of people and
businesses made this happen for the
Tornadoes.”
Albert Proffitt, of A.P. Welding

in Racine, and a 1969 graduate of
Southern High School, welded new
mounts, posts and a new cradle for
the bell. Greg Davis, a 1978 graduate
of Southern High School, sandblasted the bell. Le’Anna Davis, owner of
Superior Auto Body and an employee
of Southern Local Schools, painted
the bell and all of the mounts. Ryan
Mees, a 2007 graduate of Southern
High School and owner of Mees Airbrushing, airbrushed the block “S” on
the face of the bell.
Southern began the season
Aug. 29 with a 27-0 victory over
Portsmouth Notre Dame. Jordan
and Calee Pickens, Albert Profitt,
Le’Anna Davis, Greg Davis and Ryan
Mees were recognized by Southern
Local Schools at last Friday’s game
against the Miller Falcons for their
contribution to the athletic program.

GALLIPOLIS — Falls
Prevention Awareness Day
is Sept. 23, and the Area
Agency on Aging District
7 encourages everyone to
educate themselves and their
loved ones about the risk of
falls and fall-related injury
that increases as we age.
The AAA7 covers Adams,
Brown, Gallia, Highland,
Jackson, Lawrence, Pike,
Ross, Scioto and Vinton
counties.
According to the National
Council on Aging, falls are
the leading cause of both
fatal and non-fatal injuries
for those 65 years of age
and over. Every 14 seconds,
an older adult is seen in
an emergency department
for a fall-related injury. The
chances of falling and being
seriously injured in a fall
increase with age.
“Falls among older Ohioans can negatively affect an
individual’s health and sense
of security, but can also have
an impact on the entire family,” says Pamela K. Matura,
executive director of the
AAA7. “We’re using the first
days of autumn to help Ohioans become aware of falls
risks and do what they can
to prevent them. Doing so
will help our older neighbors
remain safely in their homes
and our community.”
Studies show that a combination of interventions
can significantly reduce falls
among older adults. Experts
recommend:A physical activity regimen with balance,
strength training, and flexibility components.
Consulting with a health
professional about having a
fall risk assessment.
Having medications
reviewed periodically.
Having eyes checked annually.
Making sure the home
environment is safe and supportive.
Having an annual hearing

statewide collaborative falls
prevention initiative that is

partners to ensure that every

Higher supply, Senator wants director of prisons panel fired
costs cut Ohio
farmers’ profits
By Andrew Welsh-Huggins
Associated Press

DAYTON (AP) — Ohio corn farmers might
be producing more crops, but the boom in
supply and higher expenses are driving down
profits this year.
Most farmers are reporting they are producing more bushels this year, but the price
they’re able to get for the commodity has
been roughly cut in half compared to last year.
Western Ohio farmer Tom Tullis said he
regularly saw corn prices as high as $6.50 or
$7 per bushel as late as last year. But prices
this year have been closer to $3. At the same
time, operating costs such as machinery and
fertilizer have remained high
“It’s about half price or below what it was
last year,” Tullis told the Dayton Daily News.
“And our inputs are staying pretty much in
the same place as far as fertilizer, chemicals
and everything else. It’s going to be a tough
one.”
Most farmers will have enough assets to
withstand a tough year or two, said Matt
Roberts, an agricultural economist for Ohio
State University Extension. The majority of
farmers across the state will likely break even
this year, Roberts said, although there will be
some who lose money.
Similar issues are also facing farmers who
are growing other crops such as soybeans and
wheat, he said.
One factor that should help is that farmers are also producing record yields, western
Ohio farmer Alex Ward said. That means
even if prices are low, farmers will be able to
sell more of the product. Despite the lower
price per bushel, Ohio farmers also seem to
be faring slightly better than those in some
other areas of the country, Ward said.
Commodity prices rely heavily on supply
and demand, so it’s not a surprise that prices
are down this year, said Tadd Nicholson, executive director of the Ohio Corn and Wheat
Growers Association. Farmers have had several good years, and those tend to balance out
over time, he said.

Jury begins
review of fatal
Wal-Mart shooting
XENIA, Ohio (AP)
— A special grand jury
began hearing evidence
Monday in the racially
charged case of a fatal
police shooting inside a
Wal-Mart store.
No timetable has
been made public on
how long it will take to
present evidence to the
Greene County jurors
or how long it might
take for them to make
a decision on whether
anyone should face
charges in the shooting of 22-year-old John
Crawford III.
Some 20 people were
outside the courthouse
Monday morning to pray
for “a peaceful process.”
Dozens of other people
gathered Monday morning outside the Wal-Mart
store in the Dayton suburb of Beavercreek and
some planned to go on to
Xenia.
Crawford, who was
black, was shot by
police Aug. 5 while
holding an air rifle his
family said he’d taken
off a store shelf. Two
white police officers
responded to a 911 call
reporting a man waving a gun. Police have
said Crawford was shot
after he didn’t obey the
officers’ commands to
put the weapon down.
Crawford’s family
said he was there shopping and did nothing to
warrant being shot.
The family and
supporters including
the president of the
Ohio Legislative Black
Caucus and the Rev. Al
Sharpton have pushed
for public release of
store surveillance
video. State Attorney
General Mike DeWine
has refused, saying it
could compromise the
investigation and taint
a potential jury pool.
DeWine named a veteran Hamilton County

prosecutor, Mark Piepmeier, to take the case
to the grand jury.
The family and other
supporters also want
federal authorities to
investigate whether
race was a factor in the
shooting.
On Monday, a handful of demonstrators
stood on a street corner
outside the courthouse
with signs critical of
authorities’ handling of
the case, with messages
such as “Justice 4 All”
and “Toy Guns Don’t
Kill People Cops Do.”
Prentiss Haney, a
member of the Ohio
Student Association
based at Wright State
University, said a rally
was planned Monday
afternoon. He said the
demonstrators want the
video released, charges
brought against the
police and the U.S.
Department of Justice
to investigate.
“We believe this is
not just a problem in
this area, but a national
problem deeply rooted
in racism that has
plagued black and
brown lives in our
country,” Haney said.
The Rev. Gloria
Dillon, pastor of the
non-denominational
Glory Ministries in
Xenia, said she and others want to be outside
the courthouse to pray
as much as possible
through the grand jury
proceedings. Dillon
said her group wasn’t
there to take sides.
The Rev. LeRoy
Anthony, pastor of Middle Run Baptist Church
in Xenia, echoed Dillon’s sentiments.
“We are praying for
a peaceful process,” he
said. “We don’t want
things that have happened in other communities with similar situations to happen here.”

COLUMBUS — The
executive director of a corrections oversight committee that has taken a hard
look at Ohio’s troubled
inmate food service contract and prisons security
issues is guilty of insubordination and should be
fired, the panel’s elected
chairwoman said Monday.
Joanna Saul refused
to follow directions for
distributing recommendations last month about
changes to the contract
with Philadelphia-based
Aramark Correctional
Services, said state Sen.
Shirley Smith, a Cleveland
Democrat.
Smith said the issue
had nothing to do with
politics or with Aramark,
but with what she said
was Saul’s refusal to do
what Smith told her to do.

Saul released a series of
recommendations about
Aramark without clearing
it with Smith, disobeying
what Smith had requested,
the senator said.
“I don’t want this to be
made into something that
it’s not,” Smith said. “It’s
clearly about insubordination.”
The bipartisan panel of
eight lawmakers conducts
regular, spot inspections
of state prisons and juvenile detention centers and
takes input from prisoners
and guards. It produces
multiple reports a year and
is independent from the
state prisons system.
The state has fined
Aramark $272,000 during its year-old contract
for problems including
shortages of main courses,
understaffing and a few
reports of maggots in food
preparation areas.
In addition to scrutiny of

Aramark, a recent report
by the panel noted problems in the unit where
inmate T.J. Lane, who
fatally shot three high
school students in 2012,
was housed until his brief
escape earlier this month.
Smith scheduled a
Wednesday afternoon
vote on Saul’s job. Saul,
who declined to comment
Monday, has apologized to
Smith.
“I took the action that I
believed still fulfilled your
wishes in terms of the
content of the communication, and also served the
interests of the committee
as a whole,” Saul said in
an Aug. 19 email to Smith

THEIR VIEW

Misassigning
blame for
weak tax revenue
A report this week by Standard &amp; Poor’s Ratings Services reads like it could have been written
by President Obama’s White House Council of
Economic Advisors. It declares that “increasing
income inequality is undermining the rate of state
tax revenue growth.”
It found that California tax revenue grew at an
annual rate of 10.9 percent from 1950-79; 9.7 percent from 1980-89; 5.8 percent from 1990-99; and
3.39 percent from 2000-09. That steady decline
has reversed itself; since 2009, tax revenue has
grown at an annual average rate of 7.16 percent.
Here’s where the authors of S&amp;P’s report lost us:
They attribute the decline in tax revenue growth
from 1950-2009 to increasing income inequality.
And the authors attribute the revenue rebound
since 2009 to government measures taken, supposedly, to narrow the gap between rich and poor —
like Proposition 30, which hiked income tax rates
from 10.3 percent to 12.3 percent on households
earning at least $250,000, with another 1 percent
on million-dollar earners.
But there’s another way of looking at the growth
fluctuations in state tax revenue. It’s no coincidence that the steady decline from 1950-2009 in
tax revenue growth coincided with the steady
increase in California’s tax burden to one the
nation’s heaviest.
As to the improvement (if it can be termed as
such) in in state tax revenues since 2009, we think
that bump is more attributable to the end of the
Great Recession, as well as the recovery of the
state’s housing market from one its worst downturns, than to Prop. 30’s tax hikes.
Our biggest problem with S&amp;P’s report is its
insinuation that states like California have found
it daunting to balance their budgets because of
the negative impact income inequality has had on
their tax revenues.
The biggest problem with S&amp;P’s report is that it
employs static analysis in suggesting that income
inequality weighs negatively on state tax revenues,
making it hard for California and other states to
balance their budgets.
Well, in those years when California had problems balancing its books and faced sometimes
huge budget deficits, the cause wasn’t that Californians were paying too little in taxes, but that the
state government was spending too much.
Indeed, the Legislative Analyst’s Office in
August foresaw a 4.8 percent growth in state tax
revenues for the 2014-15 fiscal year. However,
state spending will increase 7.2 percent, producing an operating deficit of nearly $900 million,
according the LAO.
If we accepted at face value the conclusions of
the S&amp;P report, we would be misled to believe
that the state government has a revenue problem,
that income inequality is the root cause, and that
even higher taxes on the affluent is the remedy.
But we know that to be untrue. For, no matter
how much tax revenue California raises, Sacramento finds a way to spend it. And when it does,
all to often it keeps spending, producing the operating deficit to which the LAO referred.
So what California needs is not the income
redistribution S&amp;P tacitly endorses. It simply
needs the state government to exercise fiscal disciple; to spend no more each year than it brings in.

This is all so wildly disproportionate that perhaps something
more than the usual ax-grinding,

at work. It may be that these cases
are ways to express a deeper discomfort with the NFL, which sacrifices men’s bodies and minds for

about the fight between Kurds
and the Islamic State group,
which could leave the PKK
either drained or emboldened,
could further complicate its
participation in a U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State
group.
While joining the coalition,
Turkey had declined to take
part in combat, citing the
Turkish hostages held by the
Islamic State group in Mosul,
Iraq. But even after the 46
Turks and three Iraqis were
freed, Turkey has not changed
its stance.
Turkish government officials
have not revealed how they
managed to secure the release
of the captives. President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan denied
paying a ransom but has been
vague on whether there was a
prisoner swap.
U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry said Washington now
expects Turkey to step up in
the fight against the militants.
Erdogan has said that Turkey
will discuss its participation in the coalition during
this month’s U.N. General
Assembly. The U.S. ally and
member of the NATO military
alliance has made commitments of only limited help in
the fight against the Islamic
State group, which has seized
large parts of Syria and Iraq
and rules by its harsh version
of Islamic law.

The U.S. is looking for major
participation from nations in
the region in the campaign to
destroy the Islamic State group.
President Barack Obama has
pledged that no American
troops will be involved in combat missions against the group,
and the U.S. expects nations in
the region to provide those.
The Islamic State group
released a new audio recording
online late Sunday in which
a spokesman urged Muslims
worldwide to kill civilians of
those nations that join the
fight. A French citizen was kidnapped in Algeria by an al-Qaida splinter group that said it
will kill him unless France ends
its participation in airstrikes
against the Islamic State group
in Iraq, officials said.
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey,
chairman of the U.S. Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said Monday he
remained hopeful that Turkey
would participate in the coalition.
“We need Turkey, frankly,” he
said during a visit to Croatia,
because of its military capability, regional influence and
political gravitas in the Muslim
world.
But Turkey may also have
questions for the U.S., if the
support that Washington gives
to Kurds in Iraq is extended
to the Kurds fighting in Syria.
Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters are already starting to get
training by Iraq’s Western allies

in fighting the Islamic State
group.
“The U.S. says it will make
sure that arms won’t go to the
PKK, but this isn’t possible,”
said Hasan Koni, a professor of
international law at Istanbul’s
Kultur University. He added
that the tensions have brought
the peace process to its most
difficult phase as Kurds question Turkey’s ambivalent stance
in their fight in Syria and Iraq.
“The Kurds could say: what
kind of a peace is this? We are
being strung along,” he said.
Turkish authorities may have
concerns that Turkey’s Kurds,
bolstered by Western arms and
emboldened by battlefield success, could harden their demands
on the government in Ankara.
Beyond the political questions, the conflict is adding
to a huge burden for Turkey.
On Monday, Deputy Prime
Minister Numan Kurtulmus
warned that the number of
Syrians crossing the border
could rise further to “a refugee
wave that can be expressed by
hundreds of thousands.”
“This is not a natural disaster. ... What we are faced
with is a manmade disaster,”
Kurtulmus said of the surge of
mostly women, children and
the elderly that started late
Thursday.

NFL vetting
process: There
are no sure things
By Eddie Pells
Associated Press

By the time the typical player signs an NFL
contract, around 100
scouts, coaches and
general managers have
pored over his history.
It’s an expensive,
painstaking and timeconsuming process that
includes personality
tests, conversations
with high school
friends, the college
equipment manager
and many more —
and, of course, a thorough review of police
records.
The teams try to turn
over every leaf, and
yet, there are things
they miss, or simply
would never think to
look for. Very little in
the portfolios collected
on Ray Rice or Adrian
Peterson foreshadowed
problems with the law.
“It’s an inexact science. The process is
flawed on both ends,”
said Charley Casserly,
the former Redskins

and Texans general
manager, who spearheaded the teams’
vetting processes for
nearly two decades.
“It’s humans picking
humans. None of us are
perfect on either side of
the equation.”
The process is much
easier when the issues
the players face are
clear-cut, but that didn’t
stop Aaron Hernandez
from being drafted. The
former Patriots tight
end had a checkered
record in college and is
now in prison, accused
of murder in two cases.
NFL teams will have
copious amounts of
information when they
decide whether Heisman Trophy winning
quarterback Jameis
Winston, in trouble
multiple times at
Florida State, is worth
bringing onto their
roster.
“The information is
usually there to make
a good decision,” said

star wide receiver Josh
Gordon has been reinstated into the NFL and
had his one-year suspension reduced to 10
games after the league
announced changes to
its drug policy.
The league and Players’ Association reached
an agreement on Friday
on revisions to the substance-abuse program.
Earlier this week, they
announced changes on
performance-enhancing
drugs.
Gordon, who has at
least four drug violations, has already served
two games of the suspension. He will be eligible
to play Nov. 23 when the
Browns visit Atlanta.
Gordon’s appeal of
a season-long ban was
upheld on Aug. 22.
Under the new provisions, Gordon will be
allowed to work out and
attend team meetings.
Before the changes, Gordon was only permitted
to meet with his clinician at the team’s facility.
Despite being suspended for two games
last season, Gordon led
the league with 1,646

TORONTO (AP) —
Amid the NFL’s domestic violence scandals,
Gary Bettman says the
NHL has been proactive
about off-ice conduct.
Speaking at The Canadian Club of Toronto,
the NHL commissioner
did not specifically
address football’s problems but said hockey
has tried to stay ahead
of similar issues by educating players. Bettman
added that sports can be
a “vehicle for positive
social change.”

Asked about NFL
Commissioner Roger
Goodell, Bettman says
he “can relate to being
a subject of media scrutiny.” Bettman says any
mistake is magnified in a
highly visible job.
Goodell has faced
widespread criticism
for the way he handled
the suspension of now
ex-Baltimore Ravens
running back Ray Rice
after video showed him
punching his then-fiancee in an elevator.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Vikings star Adrian
Peterson is charged with
child abuse in Texas for
using a tree branch to
spank his 4-year-old son.

Manfred,
Clark on
MLB length
of games
committee
NEW YORK (AP) —
Incoming baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred
and players’ association
head Tony Clark have
been selected to participate in a new Major
League Baseball committee tasked with decreasing the times of games.
The committee
announced Monday by
outgoing Commissioner
Bud Selig will be chaired
by Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz.
The group includes Boston Red Sox Chairman
Tim Werner and partner
Michael Gordon, New
York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson and
Major League Baseball
Executive Vice President
Joe Torre.
The average time of
a nine-inning game has
increased from 2 hours,
33 minutes in 1981 to a
record 3:03 this year.
Selig says the group
plans to make recommendations for the 2015
season.

Unbeaten Bengals
have extra
week to get healthy
CINCINNATI (AP) — When the schedule came
out, the Bengals saw what was happening in the
fourth week and bristled.
A bye? So soon?
Teams prefer to get their week off later in the
season, when they’re worn down a bit. The Bengals’
thinking has dramatically changed since. They’re off
this week, and the timing now seems perfect.
Cincinnati (3-0) could use a break to get healthy
after injuries sapped the roster. The AFC’s only undefeated team could emerge rested and even better.
A 33-7 win over the Titans on Sunday got Cincinnati off to its best start in eight years. The Bengals are
one of only three unbeaten teams left in the league,
along with Philadelphia and Arizona in the NFC. And
they’ve stayed perfect despite missing a lot of important players.
After a week off, they’ll be getting some of them
back.
Pro Bowl linebacker Vontaze Burfict sat out the
win Sunday with his second concussion in two weeks.
Receiver Marvin Jones missed his third game with a
broken bone in his left foot.

Owner: ‘No misinformation’ by Ravens on Rice
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Ravens
owner Steve Bisciotti criticized a report
that suggests he and other team officials
tried to persuade the NFL to be lenient
on Ray Rice after the running back was
arrested for knocking out his then-fiancee
in an Atlantic City elevator.)
Bisciotti spoke Monday after ESPN
reported last week that the owner, president
Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome pushed Commissioner Roger Goodell
for leniency for their star running back.
“Their accusations didn’t jibe with what
we know is fact,” said Bisciotti, who denied
asking for leniency and said he expected
Rice to be suspended 4-6 games.
The owner also said, “What’s obvious is
the majority of the sources work for Ray.
… They are building a case for reinstatement.”
Rice was originally suspended twogames, but after a video surfaced on Sept. 8
showing the violent attack, he was released
by the team and suspended indefinitely by
the league. He has appealed his suspension.
“As I stated in our letter to you on SepDoug Kapustin | MCT
tember
9, we did not do all we should have
Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti (R), puts his arm around head coach John Harbaugh as they
done, and no amount of explanation can
chat before their game with the New England Patriots in Baltimore on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013.

remedy that. But there has been no misdirection or misinformation by the Ravens,”
Bisciotti said in a statement released before
the news conference.
“We have stated what we knew and what
we thought throughout - from the original
report of the incident, to the release of the
first videotape, to the release of the second
videotape, which revealed a much harsher
reality,” Bisciotti added in the released
statement. “As we said in our response
to ESPN’s questions on Friday, it was our
understanding based on Ray’s account
that in the course of a physical altercation
between the two of them he slapped Janay
with an open hand, and that she hit her
head against the elevator rail or wall as she
fell to the ground.”
Rice punched Janay Palmer in a casino
elevator on Feb. 15. He was arrested on
assault charges, and a police summons
stated that Rice had struck Palmer with his
hand, rendering her unconscious. Rice has
been accepted into New Jersey’s pretrial
intervention program, which enabled him
to avoid jail time and could result in having
the charge expunged from his record after
he meets the requirements.

Cleveland Browns bumble their way to a 23-21 loss
CLEVELAND (AP) — The
fake play — helped by Johnny
Manziel’s superb acting —
worked to perfection but got
called back. One field goal
hit the uprights, another was
blocked.
The Browns had their chances Sunday.
They blew them all.
Seconds from another big
win and a chance to hit the bye
week with an unexpected winning record, Cleveland suffered
another gut-wrenching loss this
season as Justin Tucker kicked
a 32-yard field goal as time
expired to give the Baltimore
Ravens a 23-21 win over the
Browns.
“It’s going to be a long two
weeks,” said quarterback Brian
Hoyer, referring to the team’s
upcoming bye. “I know we’re
going to watch this film and be
mad at ourselves. We had some
opportunities to put this game

Process
From Page 6

Ted Sundquist, former
general manager of the
Broncos. “There are
many times when an
organization will choose
to listen to what they
want to hear if they really
like the player.”
But not every troubled
player in college stays
that way in the pros —
and, of course, there are
thousands of college players whose names never
make it onto a police
blotter.
“You’re not going to

away and we didn’t do it. It’s
on us.”
Everyone was culpable.
Offense. Defense. Special
Teams. Coaching.
There was plenty of blame to
go around as the Browns had
their third straight game decided by a last-second field goal.
“I put this one on me,” said
rookie coach Mike Pettine, who
also faulted missed tackles and
communications issues. “We
didn’t coach well enough to win.”
Tucker’s boot, set up by Joe
Flacco’s 32-yard pass to Steve
Smith, who beat Browns Pro
Bowl cornerback Joe Haden,
capped another challenging
week for the Ravens (2-1).
They continue to be dogged by
their management of Ray Rice’s
domestic violence arrest and
suspension, but there’s no denying their resolve on the field.
The Browns helped out by
committing 12 penalties, botch-

be able to catch all these
things all the time,” says
Chris Elzey, who teaches
Sport and American
Culture at George Mason
University. “People
change. Certain things
come up. As far as trying to recognize those
problems beforehand,
you can catch the glaring
mistakes, but you can’t
foresee everything.”
The scouting report on
Peterson, now charged
with child abuse, didn’t
raise major red flags.
When he was 7, Peterson’s older brother was
killed by a drunk driver.
Peterson’s father served
eight years in prison on a

ing the two field goals and failing to convert a third down in
the fourth quarter. The biggest
blunder was by rookie wide
receiver rookie Taylor Gabriel,
who fell after catching a long
pass from Hoyer and failed to
score what should have been an
easy touchdown.
“We just have to finish better,” linebacker Karlos Dansby
said. “We gotta grow up. We’re
a young team. We made some
plays out there. But we’ve got to
make enough at the end when it
counts to get us over the hump.”
Despite the tough loss, there
were some positives for Cleveland.
Browns rookie running
backs Terrance West and
Isaiah Crowell each scored a
rushing TD; linebacker Jabaal
Sheard made a big stop on
fourth down and Cleveland
went toe-to-toe with one of
the AFC North’s bullies until

drug-related conviction.
A quote attributed to
Peterson on biography.
com says: “Resilience is
what I’m all about. I run
angry. Football allows me
to take out some of my
pain on the field.”
Almost all of the scouting material on Rice
before the 2008 draft
centered on how hard he
worked to get the most
out of his 5-foot-8, 200pound frame. He was an
underdog with a bit of
chip on his shoulder. But
there were no red flags
in the character department, and he backed
that up after arriving in
Baltimore, becoming the

the final seconds.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Hoyer
said. “We were on the other
side this week, and it doesn’t
feel good. Really when it comes
down to it, we made a lot of
plays but we didn’t make them
when we really needed to. In
this league, you have to do it
when it’s on the line.”
Hoyer completed 19 of 25
passes for 290 yards, a strong
performance that further quiets
Manziel’s fans and gives Cleveland more hope it may finally
have found its quarterback for
the forseeable future. Hoyer,
too, made a mistake when a
TD pass to Miles Austin was
wiped out because he crossed
the line of scrimmage before
releasing the ball.
Cleveland’s Billy Cundiff,
who earlier missed from 50
yards, then had his 36-yard
attempt blocked by Ravens cornerback Asa Jackson.

face of the franchise —
generous with his time
and money.
The videotape of Rice
punching his then-fiancee
changed everything, and
the uptick of such crimes
coming to light figures to
make NFL teams redouble their efforts.
“The leagues and the
(sports) federations better be aware that it’s a
different world now,” said
Steve Roush, the former
chief of sport performance at the U.S. Olympic Committee, who has
vetted hundreds of athletes and coaches. “The
standards by which these
people have to conduct

themselves has changed
drastically and so has the
standard by which the
organizations evaluate
them.”
The grassroots of the
NFL vetting system is
the scouts. One of their
jobs is to build relationships at the universities
where the most talented
players play. They get to
know position coaches,
trainers, equipment men,
professors.
“Ultimately, you want
a guy who can walk up to
a college coach and say,
‘Hey, you’ve known me
for 25 years. Give me the
straight skinny,’” Sundquist said.

“Why I love my job in advertising...
Our programs are the best of the best!
There are many reasons why I love my job with Civitas Media.
Those that stand out are the exciting special programs and contests
that keep us motivated through friendly competition.
Our Summer Stimulus program is the best of the best. It has all the components that a
great revenue manager and leader loves! We combine great products and discounts for
our customers, along with competition among the Civitas team, the opportunity to
earn additional $$$ and the fabulous Summit of Success annual trip. You couldn’t ask
for more!
At the summit of success annual trip we felt like royalty, giving us the
opportunity to meet and get to know fellow members of other sales teams,
managers, revenue leaders and even CEO Michael Bush!! The enthusiasm and
knowledge we gained was priceless.”

“I thought I hit a really good
ball,” said Cundiff, who kicked
a game-winner to beat New
Orleans last week. “Then I
heard the double thump. For a
kicker, that’s one thing you do
not want to hear.”
In the first half, the Browns
fooled Baltimore’s defense with
a trick play only to have it nullified by a penalty.
Manziel came in for one
play in the second quarter and
handed the ball to Crowell.
Manziel started to run off the
field but paused near the sideline where he pretended to be
confused and have a conversation with offensive coordinator
Kyle Shanahan. With his back
to the field, Manziel waited
for Shanahan to say, ‘Go,’ and
the rookie quarterback took
off, catching a short pass from
Hoyer and gaining 39 yards
before he was knocked out of
bounds.

Teams put players
through tests that gauge
how well they learn; some
of the exams are designed
to give front offices a feeling for coachability, competitiveness, “some kind
of psychological profile, if
you will,” Casserly said.
The clubs hire security
firms, and if computer
searches show blemishes
on a player’s record, the
firms do follow-up work
— calling police, lawyers,
family, friends.
In all, a top prospect
could get up to eight people judging not only how
fast he runs, but what
kind of citizen he is. The
lowest picks usually get at
least two sets of eyeballs
on them.
Sundquist says that
while the vast majority
of NFL players “are good
guys,” there’s no denying
one truth: Most players
treat the scouting combine and interviews as job
auditions and try to be on
their best behavior.
“Once you sign him,
it’s almost like it changes
immediately,” Sundquist
said. “The focus is no longer on what kind of guy
he is, it’s now the opportunity and money you’ve
invested, so I expect you
to do ‘X, Y and Z.’ And
on the other side, it suddenly becomes ‘Player
LLC’ under the umbrella
of a corporation, and the
player is doing everything
he can to protect the corporation.”
How they’ll react in
the new relationship is an
educated guess, at best.
“You do your job, you
do it thoroughly, you
make a decision and you
go, and that’s it,” Casserly
said. “You can’t foresee
every possible scenario.
And you’ll drive yourself
nuts if you second-guess
everything.”
