Burial will follow in Bethesda Cemetery, Safety enhancements planned after park falls LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — With a busy holiday weekend ahead, state officials are planning safety improvements in the popular Hockings Hills region of southeastern Ohio after three people died recently in falls from its high cliffs. Signs warning hikers not to leave marked trails are being enhanced, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said. Rangers also have increased trail patrols and are issuing more citations to people who stray from them. ODNR spokeswoman Eileen Corson said Wednesday the signs will be redesigned with white and red letters to make them stand out more and could be in production as early as next week. Ranger Paul Baker II told one newspaper that the changes will be made to blend with the rugged surroundings of Hocking Hills State Park, which attracts more than 1 million visitors annually. Officials have warned that the sandstone cliffs are mossy and slippery. The majority of accidents in Ohio state parks happen when hikers leave the marked trails, officials said. Corson said rangers have written 50 citations for the violation in the past three weeks. They carry a $135 fine. “Our officers are out there, and they are enforcing the law and giving citations for people who go off trails, because we want people to be safe and be able to enjoy the park,” she said. The hiker who fell Monday in Hocking Hills State Park was 66-year-old John Schneider of Bay Village, near Cleveland. Baker said Schneider stepped too close to the edge and slipped. On Saturday, 52-year-old Peter Livingston died when he fell while rappelling with a Boy Scout group in the Hocking Hills State Forest. Officials said he fell about 125 feet while he was lowering a gear-filled backpack attached to a harness on his waist. On April 27, 19-year-old Josias Rodriguez died at Hocking Hills State Park. Officials said he was hiking with friends when he left the marked trail to climb a rock face, then fell as he tried to climb down. The forest and state park area are separate. Both are located about 50 miles southeast of Columbus. Rappelling is allowed only in the 9,500-acre state forest and participants are encouraged to register beforehand. Those accidents came after zero deaths in Ohio state parks last year and two fatal falls statewide in 2011.

They were chosen on their giving back to the community, attendance, GPA, and school participation.

He became disabled, and instead of drawing disability, he told the company to pay for his schooling and he graduated in three years and taught at Rio Grande for fifteen years as a professor of the arts. They had five children, all graduates of Southern High School. Ron stated that his dad always said take a hand up, and not a hand out. The recipient of the scholarship was judged on attendance — you can‘t learn if your are not here — being active in community, religion, and ACT score.This scholarship was started in 2011, and $1,700 in awards have been given. Jaclyn Mees received the scholarship but was unable to attend. Hart presented the David B Sayre scholarship of $500 to Cole Graham. Sayre was a supporter of the RACO yard sale which is used for scholarship funds. He would purchase items, if he thought it was a deal, and give it to the girls, as he called Hart and Ann Zirkle. First year of this scholarship was 2006, and the total for this scholarship is $2,600. Jan Hill presented the Jean Alkire Memorial scholarship of $300 to Olivia Poling, daughter of Angela and Brian Burkhammer. Ms. Jean was a silent member of RACO for many years, and always supported and donated to whatever the organization was doing. Hill said God blessed her with a wonderful mother. Hill added remember whatever you do today, will affect your tomorrow and all of your tomorrows. This is the second year for this scholarship and a total of $2,300.00, given to seniors. Hart presented the Clarence and Ruth Bradford Scholarship of $500 to Kody Wolfe. This is the year 6th for this scholarship, with Brenda and Kel Weller of Dacula, Georgia, presenting $3,000 in scholarships. Clarence retired from American Electric Power with 32 years of service. He loved his community and people of Racine. Whatever Hart was involved in, he supported each and every group. Ruth was a homemaker and active in her community. Her heart was with her family and her devotion to them was boundless. Hart presented Wolfe with a history of their lives that was prepared by Brenda Weller. RACO had three new educational scholarships to present this year, the Vinas Lee Education Scholarship, Anderson and Eleanor Owens Scholarship, and The Racine Enginuity Scholarship. Hart presented the Anderson and Eleanor Owens Scholarship of $500 to Jennifer McCoy. Anderson and Eleanor were both school teachers, and later Anderson became a school superintendent and Eleanor became a school librarian. Last year, the couple’s son donated money to Hart’s father’s scholarship fund, and stated her father would be proud that she has presented this scholarship in his memory to the parents of a great doctor. Presenting the Vinas Lee Education Scholarships of $500 each was John Bentz. Receiving the checks were Jennifer McCoy and Paige Wehrung. Bentz stated Lee was a longtime supporter of Racine and surrounding communities. She was born on Dec. 24, 1914, graduated from Ohio University in 1936, returned to Racine High School to teach in 1956, and retired in 1976. She taught typing, shorthand, English and bookkeeping. She had a leadership role in the headstart program and is still very young at heart, a supporter of RACO, always thinking of others, and still sends her Christmas cards. She currently resides in Mayfair Retirement Village in Columbus, near to her family. She was well known in her community for her well-groomed lawn and leaf collection. He was honored to present this scholarship this year. Jacob Hunter sponsored the Racine Enginuity Scholarship. He was unable to attend because of work. Hart stated he was a former recipient of RACO and Brace Memorial Scholarships. Hunter stated, now this afforded him the opportunity to give back to the organization that had helped him, by helping another student. This becomes a positive for all concerned, to be able to do this and it becomes a joy. Hart presented the check of $500 to Kody Wolfe. Maxine Rose presented a check of $500 to Jennifer McCoy on behalf of Racine’s Party in the Park. Jennifer received the scholarship as being the 2012 queen. She stated that the Party in the Park queen committee chose a wonderful young lady as their queen. Rose stated, be nice to everyone you meet, as you may run into them again. Everyone needs someone and don’t forget who you are. Jesse McKendree, Racine Baptist Church Youth Pastor, said grace before a dinner catered by Barb Arnold. Recognized at the meeting were members Libby Fisher, Melanie Weese, Lillian Weese, Sherry Kincaid, David & Ann Zirkle, Tonja Hunter, Kim Romine, Sherri O’Brien, Lucas Hunter, Eli Hunter, and Dale Hart, and yard sale volunteers Victor and Alice Wolfe and Erma Norris. Hart also recognized Jennifer Holt representing Southern High School and Racine Mayor Scott Hill. Hart spoke of the new shelter house at the park, the village received a grant for one-half of it and RACO paid the other half, with proceeds from working the fair gates and baskets games. Also attending the dinner, were Chase Graham, Justin Hettinger, Cierra Marcinko, and Kim and Elise McKendree.

And what a career it was: —Eight Pro Bowl seasons; —Defensive Player of the Year in 2005 —A trip to the Super Bowl as 2006 NFC champion. And now, it’s over. The eighttime Pro Bowler announced his retirement through social media accounts Wednesday. “After spending a lot of time this spring thinking about my NFL future, I have made a decision to retire,” Urlacher said in a statement. “Although I could continue playing, I’m not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that’s up to my standards. When considering this, along with the fact that I could retire after a 13year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear. “I want to thank all of the people in my life that have helped me along the way. I will miss my teammates, my coaches and the great Bears fans. I’m proud to say that I gave all of you everything I had every time I took the field. I will miss this great game, but I leave it with no regrets.” Urlacher was the face of the Bears, and he ranks among the best middle linebackers to suit up for a franchise with an impressive list that includes Hall of Famers Bill George, Dick Butkus and Mike Singletary. “Great player… Great teammate… Awesome person!!!!” receiver Earl Bennett wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. In March, Urlacher and the Bears were unable to reach a contract agreement and he became a free agent. He started 180 games from 2000-2012, and made a teamrecord 1,779 tackles. He has 41 1/2, 22 interceptions, 16 fumble recoveries and 11 forced fumbles. Last year, he was slowed by a knee problem and then missed the final four games with a hamstring injury. Urlacher had posted pictures on Twitter indicating he was working his way back into shape before the split with the Bears. But when they an- nounced he would not be back, it was hardly a surprise. Urlacher told the team’s flagship radio station at the time that he was not shocked and the offer he received was “more like an ultimatum” in which they were telling him, “Sign this contract or we are going to move on.” The split with Urlacher was just one of many moves in a busy offseason for the Bears. They fired coach Lovie Smith after a second straight late collapse left them out of the playoffs for the fifth time in six years, even though they did finish with 10 wins. They replaced him with the offensive-minded Marc Trestman, hoping he could get the most out of quarterback Jay Cutler, and revamped their offensive line. On defense, the only starting linebacker returning is Lance Briggs. Veteran free agent acquisition D.J. Williams and secondround draft pick Jon Bostic are expected to compete for the middle linebacker job with Urlacher gone. A safety with lightning speed when he was drafted out of New Mexico, the 6-foot-4 Urlacher initially lined up at strong side linebacker for the Bears, but lost the job to Roosevelt Colvin. He made the switch to middle linebacker during his first season when Barry Minter was injured, and went on to become the 2000 Defensive Rookie of the Year, the start of a long run that saw him anchor a defense that consistently ranked among the league’s best.

Krzyzewski will try to lead the Americans to a third straight gold medal, a person with knowledge of the decision said Wednesday. Originally expected to step down, Krzyzewski will hold a news conference to confirm his return Thursday at Duke, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made. The Hall of Fame coach has led the Americans since 2005, winning gold at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and the 2010 world basketball championship. His return was first reported by Sports Illustrated. Krzyzewski repeatedly said he planned to end his international coaching career following the Americans’ victory last summer in London. Yet USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo preferred to hold off any discussion until after Coach K finished his season with the Blue Devils, and he got the answer he wanted. Krzyzewski, 66, will lead the Americans next summer at the renamed World Cup of Basketball in Spain, where a victory would qualify them for the 2016 Summer Games in Brazil. They are 62-1 over the last seven years. Krzyzewski’s return could help land commitments from some of the top NBA stars who have enjoyed playing in the program he and Colangelo revamped in 2005. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony are among the All-Stars who have won multiple gold medals under Krzyzewski. The U.S. team had been led by an NBA coach from the time NBA players were first used in the 1992 Olympics through the 2004 Games, when the Americans lost three times and finished third. They managed only another bronze in their first tournament under Krzyzewski, the 2006 world championship, but haven’t lost a game since while restoring the U.S. as the top team in the world. Krzyzewski said he expected the Americans to name a successor this summer, but Colangelo believed Coach K wanted to stay if his family and Duke were comfortable with it. Krzyzewski, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, has been on the staff of 13 U.S. teams since 1979 and joined Henry Iba as the only coaches in Olympic history to win back-toback men’s basketball gold medals. Colangelo never even talked to another candidate, insisting Krzyzewski had earned the right to take as much time as needed. The Americans wanted to have a coach in place before holding a minicamp in July in Las Vegas. The person said there were expected changes to Krzyzewski’s staff, which had included NBA coaches Mike D’Antoni and Nate McMillan, and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim. Big Ten baseball: Better despite the weather Dalton already MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With Indiana in the midst of perhaps the best season in the baseball program’s history, coach Tracy Smith had an admission to make before the Big Ten tournament began. If the top-seeded Hoosiers don’t win the double-elimination draw this weekend, well, he wouldn’t mind all that much. “Don’t think that we’re not going to win this thing. I don’t want that to get out there. But there’s that small piece of me that says I wouldn’t be that disappointed because I think that’s good for our conference,” Smith said. “The more we get in the NCAA tournament, the better we’re all going to look.” Largely because of obvious geographical factors, baseball has never been one of the Big Ten’s strongest sports. Southern and western schools have long dominated on the diamond. This year, though, the quality of the conference is up. Each of the six coaches assembled in Minnesota on Tuesday for the Big Ten tournament spoke from their own perspective about the league being as good as they can ever remember. Strong enough, they’ve been hoping, to send a handful of teams to the NCAA tournament. The Hoosiers (40-13) are the top seed and all but guaranteed a spot. They’re 12th in the latest Baseball America national poll, and their ranking in the Ratings Percentage Index that steers NCAA tournament selection criteria is 14th. Fifth-place Illinois is 30th. Michigan State (33-17), which finished seventh and missed the cut for the conference tournament, has the 36thbest RPI score and thus a chance to be selected. If No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Nebraska, No. 4 Minnesota or No. 6 Michigan emerges as the winner, then the Big Ten will be in position for a healthy showing when the NCAA field is picked. The event begins Wednesday at Target Field, the home of the Twins and the first major league site in the history of the tournament. “It would be a travesty to think that the Big Ten in baseball would only be a one or two-bid league,” Michigan coach Erik Bakich said. “From here on out, I know we would love to see this be a four or five-bid-plus bid league, and it can do that.” The last time a Big Ten team won the College World Series was Ohio State in 1966. Minnesota’s last of three titles came in 1964. Michigan’s most recent of two championships was in 1962. Since the NCAA tournament expanded to the current 64-team format in 1999, the Big Ten has never had more than three representatives. In six of the last 14 years, as recently as 2010 and 2011, only the automatic qualifier was in the national field. Beyond the Gophers, Wolverines and Buckeyes, there hasn’t been much historical success. The Hoosiers have only been to two NCAA tournaments, in 1996 and 2009, and this was their first outright regular season title since 1932. The northsouth disparity has widened to the point where Purdue coach Doug Schreiber presented a proposal to schedule some non-conference games in the fall that count toward the overall records, to help stem the need to travel so much south or west to play early-season games. Indiana played 19 home games this year. Defending national champion Arizona has 38 on the schedule. Minnesota coach John Anderson even suggested recently that the Big Ten and other northern conferences break away from the traditional NCAA spring season, play a full summer schedule and crown their own champion, an idea that was quickly dismissed. Perhaps those competitive-balance pushes won’t be as prevalent if the conference continues to improve. Television coverage on the Big Ten Network has helped, as have facility upgrades all around the league. This year, Minnesota nestled into a rebuilt Siebert Field on campus, when the weather allowed it. The Gophers beat the Illini there last Saturday to grab fourth place as the conference race remained unsettled into the weekend. “You could go from first to being out of the tournament,” Anderson said. “I think that’s a testament to the caliber of play and the quality of the league this year and more importantly I think the level of commitment from the institutions and the coaches who are leading these programs. … I think the future of Big Ten baseball is bright.” working on the long pass CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton saw A.J. Green lined up on the outside and let it fly, lofting the ball deep down the sideline. Nobody had to guess what the Bengals are focused on during their offseason team practices. Throw deep. As much as possible. Dalton is trying to refine the long-distance connection that was missing in their biggest games late last season. He tried repeatedly to get the ball to Green way down the field, but missed most of the time. “It’s not just Andy,” Green said. “It’s me, too. I can run them better, give him a better target to throw the ball. It’s on my part, too. We’re both trying to get better each practice. “That’s the big focal point coming into the OTAs.” The Bengals started their organized team activities on the field this week looking to refine a passing game that lacked the big play down the stretch. Dalton overthrew an open Green in the end zone on a long pass in the closing minutes of a 19-13 loss at Houston in the first round of the playoffs, a play that epitomized their problems. In the last five regular-season games, Green caught only two passes for more than 20 yards. It wasn’t for a lack of trying. Dalton’s long passes would drift out of bounds, sail too far or come up a bit short, allowing the defender to break it up. He knows that’s the main area for improvement heading into his third season in Cincinnati. Can’t miss on those chances. “It’s been emphasized, yeah,” Dalton said. “Any chance we get, we’re taking some deep shots, whether it be one-on-one (coverage) or just to let the receivers go up and get it. I think it’s definitely helping us out and there will be room for improvement.” Retirement From Page 5 But he clearly wasn’t his old self last year. The speed and quickness that allowed him to wreak havoc for years simply wasn’t there. Urlacher sprained his medial collateral ligament and partially sprained the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the 2011 regularseason finale against Minnesota, He hasn’t been the same since then. He barely participated in training camp, had an arthroscopic procedure in mid-August to relieve the swelling, and spent most of the season trying to regain his old form. Then, he came up lame in coverage on the second-to-last snap of the Bears’ overtime loss to Seattle in early December, an injury that ended his season and, ultimately, his career.

They also have Nos. 19, 31 and 33 for new coach Mike Brown, who they rehired after firing Byron Scott following a 24-58 season. “We were hoping regardless of what pick we got that this would be our last lottery,” Dan Gilbert said. “We thought originally after everything had to be reset that it would be a three-year process. You never know. It could be four. We thought three years, but having No. 1 and 19, we’ve got a pretty good chance of this being the last one for a while.” Dan Gilbert and the rest of the Cavs entourage — all wearing wine-colored bowties as well — celebrated their latest victory, which came with 15.6 percent odds after they finished with the NBA’s thirdworst record at 24-58. When they won the lottery in 2011, the Cavs had the eighth best odds. “For everyone in Cleveland who has supported us through these three years, I think this is for them,” Dan Gilbert said. “Is that right, Nick?” “It feels good,” said Nick, who was born with Neurofibromatosis (NF), a nerve disorder that causes tumors to grow anywhere in the body at any time. Not even having fourtime winner Pat Williams on stage and 25 percent odds could get the No. 1 pick for the Magic. The team with the best odds hasn’t won since 2004, when Orlando won for the third time with Williams representing them and drafted Dwight Howard. The franchise hadn’t been back since 2006. “We had such a nice run up here, over the years. Yeah, we came to win, so when they turned Cleveland over it was like “How did that happen? Absolutely! How did that happen?” Williams said. “We had a better shot, a better percentage. … I think the Lord was looking out for that little guy from Cleveland.” Even heading back to their Hornets name couldn’t change the luck of the Bobcats, who were lottery losers for the second straight year. Hours after owner Michael Jordan announced they were planning to get back the original nickname of the Charlotte franchise, the Bobcats fell from No. 2 to the fourth spot. Last year, Charlotte had the best odds of winning after the worst season in NBA history but fell back one spot to second. The lottery sets the top three teams, and the remainder of the 14 teams finish in inverse order of their record. Phoenix will pick fifth, followed by New Orleans, Sacramento, Detroit, Minnesota, Portland, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Utah. The Thunder got the Raptors’ pick as payment of a previous trade because it didn’t move into the top three. Bryan Colangelo represented the team on stage on the day the Raptors announced he would stay on as team president but they would hire a general manager. Guards Ben McLemore of Kansas and Trey Burke of Michigan, the college player of the year, and Georgetown forward Otto Porter Jr. are considered other top available players. With uncertainty at the top, this is another year when the No. 1 pick could’ve been a high school player if eligible. Kansas-bound prep star Andrew Wiggins may have been the choice, but the age limit requiring players to be 19 years old and a year out of high school will remain unchanged at least until the players’ association has a new executive director to replace the ousted Billy Hunter. The union would like the limit to be lowered or scrapped entirely, while the NBA has expressed interest in raising it to 20. It’s on a list of “B-list” items from the 2011 collective bargaining negotiations that the sides still plan to discuss. �Thursday, May 23, 2013 Professional Services Professional Services Service Tech • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available RESTORATION AND CLEANING SOLUTIONS IF INTERESTED CONTACT: 3 rooms for $99 Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 SERVICE TRI-COUNT Y AREA Please leave a message Owned and Operated By: David Rice yahieltammy@hotmail.com (740)709-1372 27 Years Experience LEGALS Help Wanted General Houses For Sale The Village of Rutland is accepting sealed bids for mowing approximately 3 to 4 acres within the village.

For the second straight year, Parker used a sensational Game 2 to give the Spurs a two-game lead to start the conference finals. This time, it was a 15-point, 18-assist masterpiece that featured Parker scoring or assisting on 14 of the Spurs’ 18 baskets after halftime. Asked Wednesday if it was a performance reminiscent of John Stockton, the NBA’s career assists leader, Parker said: “No, Tony Parker.” “I don’t want to be anybody. I just want to have my own identity,” he added. “I always fight with (coach Gregg Popovich) for that because he wanted me to be — no disrespect to Avery Johnson — but like Avery, and then like John. I was like, ‘I want to be me.’ I want to do both. I want to be aggressive, and I just try to find that balance. “That’s the thing through my whole career is to find the happy middle between scoring and passing.” Parker has already won three NBA titles with San Antonio and seemed to have the Spurs rolling toward another one last season when he scored 34 points on 16 for 21 shooting — and also dished out eight assists — in a 120111 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of the West finals. It was San Antonio’s 20th straight win, a streak spanning seven weeks. And then — poof! — the season was over a week later following four straight losses to Oklahoma City. That history puts this year’s strong start to the series in a completely different perspective. “We understand that we didn’t do anything. We just protected home court and we have a long way to go because we know we’re playing a very good team,” Parker said. “People who know basketball, they know they are a very good team and you can’t take anything for granted.” Parker informed reporters before practice that he plans to use the three-day break before Game 3 on Saturday in Memphis to have an MRI on his troublesome left calf Thursday “just to make sure” he’s improving on schedule. He said the knot that developed after he got kicked in the calf during the Golden State series was the biggest he’s had in his career, but has been feeling better. “Slowly and surely, I’m turning the corner and so hopefully, I’ll be fine,” Parker said, not expecting to miss any time. Last year’s Western Conference finals turned when the Thunder deployed 6-foot-7 defensive ace Thabo Sefolosha against Parker and began routinely switching screens on defense. Parker’s shooting percentage dipped to 39 percent and he had four assists in each of the next three games. Even his 29 points and 12 assists in Game 6 weren’t enough to save the Spurs. Even before Tuesday night’s loss, Parker had been the focus of several defensive adjustments by the Grizzlies, and more figure to be on the way. “On pick-and-rolls, they had such good spacing that it allowed him to manipulate and move the ball different ways, get into the paint and draw and kick,” Memphis point guard Mike Conley said. “When you have a guy that’s able to create plays like that for other people, it really puts the defense at its mercy.” While Parker presents an entirely different challenge, the Grizzlies found success in the last round by continually decreasing the effectiveness of three-time NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant. “We’ve played against a lot of great players all year long, and you just have to go out and compete against them the best you can and try to limit some things and find a way to win,” coach Lionel Hollins said. Parker said he believes he has become a better passer over the years, and his career-best assist total from Game 2 was also a product of the ball being in his hands more than ever. He had assists on San Antonio’s first seven baskets after halftime, then scored the next two. After coming out for a rest, he returned and hit back-to-back shots to extend the Spurs’ lead to 83-70 before he finally went cold and Memphis rallied.

The NFL rewarded the San Francisco Bay Area on Tuesday with hosting rights for the 2016 championship game, slotting the 50th Super Bowl in the 49ers’ high-tech Santa Clara stadium scheduled to open next year. The league also voted at its spring meetings to give the 2017 game to Houston, which last hosted the big game in 2004. “After losing a Super Bowl, it feels really good to win a Super Bowl,” said 49ers CEO Jed York, whose team lost to Baltimore in the NFL title game in February. “We are so excited to be able to put on the ‘Golden Super Bowl’ in the Golden State.” The back-to-back, first-ballot votes also sent a message to South Florida that it needs to settle its squabble over renovations at the Miami Dolphins’ stadium before it will get a chance to host its 11th Super Bowl. “I can tell you that I think the stadium is a very import part of any of these proposals. The condition of the stadium is a factor,” commissioner Roger Goodell said. “I think it’s the stadium, at the end of the day. Their proposal was really quite exciting. I think owners would like to be in Miami. But it’s competitive right now.” The 49ers are preparing to begin play in 2014 in what they are billing as the most technologically advanced stadium in the world — the first cashless, ticketless venue in NFL championship history, with WiFi capability for 75,000 people. The 2016 Super Bowl will be the first in northern California since the 1985 game at Stanford Stadium. When Goodell announced the 2016 decision, members of the San Francisco bid committee let out a roar of approval, then toasted each other with champagne. Asked what he believed swayed the owners to vote for San Francisco, York added: “It’s the willpower of an entire area that gave an overwhelming push for us.” It was the first time in a decade that a Super Bowl was awarded on the first ballot. York said 25 percent of the proceeds from the game will be donated to fight poverty in the Bay Area. “The Bay Area has been waiting for a (title) game since 1985. We have a stadium now,” said Daniel Lurie, a leader of the San Francisco bid. “We are just thrilled and couldn’t be happier about this.” Houston staged the 2004 Super Bowl, which is perhaps best known for Janet Jackson’s halftime “wardrobe malfunction.” That was just two years after Reliant Stadium opened. “I think a lot of them just felt like, ‘Hey, it’s Houston’s time,’” Texans owner Robert McNair said. “They knew we could do a good job. From 2004 to ‘17, that’s 13 years. So I agree, I think it’s Houston’s time.” Miami has hosted 10 of them — including the Jets’ upset of the Colts in 1969 — and is tied with New Orleans for the most. But South Florida got rejected twice after the Florida Legislature did not support financing to renovate Sun Life Stadium — a likely backlash over the Marlins’ new baseball stadium. Multibillionaire Dolphins owner Stephen Ross contends $350 million in stadium improvements are badly needed, but he doesn’t want to pay for them by himself. Nor does he want a scaled-down renovation of the 26-year-old facility. “I suspect there’s a couple of state reps down in Miami-Dade County where I live who are going to look at this and realize this was a huge mistake,” South Florida bid committee chairman Rodney Barreto said. “We had the better bid. I could just look at the body language from the NFL staff. It’s a shame. We may not see another Super Bowl for another 10 years.” Ross said South Florida “won’t stop trying” to get one. Next Feb. 2, the game goes outdoors in a cold-weather site for the first time, at MetLife Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands. If that gamble pays off for the NFL, look for other cities in similar climates — Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver — to bid for future Super Bowls. The 2015 game will be played in the Phoenix area. Earlier Tuesday, owners approved a $200 million loan for stadium construction in Atlanta. The multipurpose stadium could cost as much as $1 billion, with team owner Arthur Blank committed to funding most of it. Blank called the decision by the team owners an “important milestone” in moving the project forward. The owners also approved financing for renovations of stadiums in Charlotte and Philadelphia. Speaking with reporters after the votes, Goodell also said: — The draft will be held between May 8 and May 17 next year because the venue, Radio City Music Hall, is hosting an Easter show in April. He expects the draft will remain in May, with other adjustments to the NFL’s calendar, including the dates for the combine and the opening of free agency, to be discussed with the players’ union. — A third international game in upcoming seasons could be added now that both games for 2013 in London have sold out. — The Pro Bowl could be moved from Hawaii back to mainland cities after the 2014 game, but will still be held on the Sunday one week before the Super Bowl. — Expanding the playoffs, and cutting two games off the preseason, still are being discussed. A reduced preseason could happen with either the current 16game regular season or with an 18-game schedule. Woods: Garcia comment hurtful, time to move on VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — Sergio Garcia apologized to Tiger Woods for saying he would have “fried chicken” at dinner with his rival, a comment that Woods described as hurtful and inappropriate. “I want to send an unreserved apology. I did not want to offend anyone,” Garcia said Wednesday. “My answer was totally stupid and out of place.” Garcia was at a European Tour awards dinner Tuesday night when he was AUTOMOTIVE AFTER MARKET MERCHANDSE FOR SALE Miscellaneous jokingly asked if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. The two players had been verbally sparring since The Players Championship nearly two weeks ago. “We’ll have him round every night,” Garcia replied. “We will serve fried chicken.” The remark took the golfers’ differences into ugly territory, reminiscent of when Fuzzy Zoeller made a similar comment about Woods after he won the 1997 Masters, becoming the first player of black heritage to win a major. “The comment that was made wasn’t silly. It was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate,” Woods said in a series of tweets. “I’m confident that there is real regret the remark was made. The Players ended nearly two weeks ago and it’s long past time to move and talk about golf.” For once, both players agreed. Garcia held an impromp- Miscellaneous Want To Buy DISH NETWORK.
