We decided we wanted to do the best thing for our customers and for the community,” Lynne Fruth, president and chairman of the board for Fruth Pharmacy stated in an impromptu press conference held in Charleston this week. Fruth Pharmacy is carrying a new product in its stores in order to help prevent meth production called Nexafed. Nexafed delivers the same efficacy as other leading pseudoephedrine products — such as Sudafed — by temporarily relieving nasal congestion due to the common cold, hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies. But it does even more. Its patented technology disrupts the extraction and conversion of pseudoephedrine to meth. With the replacement of older generation PSE products, like Sudafed, with Nexafed, Fruth Pharmacy is attempting to take an important step torward combating meth abuse in the communities it serves while still providing cold and allergy sufferers with See PHARMACY | 3 Middleport Council approves benefit street party Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — Approval for a benefit street party on Sept. 6 and 7 on Race Street between Second and Third Avenues with certain restrictions applied was given by Middleport Village Council at its Monday night meeting.

Belleveau visits Hartwell House Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — “One of the top Trollbead retailers in the state of Ohio” was how Michael Belleveau, Trollbeads US president and CEO, described Hartwell House of Pomeroy during his visit to the store Monday. Belleveau visited Bobbie Karr and her staff, traveling here from Trollbeads headquarters in Princeton, N. J., to get a first-hand look at Hartwell House.

Sterling silver, 18 karat gold, Italian glass, natural pearls and precious stones are utilizing in the designs, which span bracelets, necklaces, earrings and accessories. Karr said the brand is carried in more than 50 countries with more than 4,000 retailers worldwide. “Trollbeads is known for its outstanding glass beads, regarded as the most beautiful and detailed glass beads in the world,” she said. Belleveau was named president and CEO of Trollbeads in 2011.

County commissioners approve resolutions Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners approved several resolutions during last week’s regular meeting including one in support of fuel diversity for electricity generation. The resolution reads in part, Whereas, businesses, homes, hospitals, schools and government functions all rely on affordable, reliable electricity generated using a variety of fuels — coal, natural gas, nuclear and other sources — and this diversity keeps energy prices low and reliability high. The resolution also states that technology is leading the way for cleaner use of all fuels including coal, and that maintaining coal-fired generation is a key to keeping electricity abundant and cost low. The resolution concludes, Be it resolved that the Meigs County Commissioners support continued use of a diverse fuel portfolio for electricity generation. Be it further resolved that we support continued development of coal-based power in the United States, and we petition our leaders and elected officials to pursue new policies and halt the EPA’s costly and harmful pursuit of regulations that restrict fuel diversity for electricity generation. The resolution was passed following a presentation to the commissioners by Doug Matheney of Count on Coal a few weeks ago. The Rutland street improvement project was awarded to Nuco Paving in the amount of $64,136. The Rutland Ball Field drainage project materials and delivery was approved with Baum Lumber in the amount of $3,983.98. A resolution was approved to hire Katie L.

Martin Luther King spoke during the March on Washington. In a moment rich with history and symbolism, tens of thousands of Americans of all backgrounds and colors thronged to the National Mall to join the nation’s first black president and civil rights pioneers in marking the 50th anniversary of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Obama urged each of them to become a modernday marcher for economic justice and racial harmony. “The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice but it doesn’t bend on its own,” Obama said, in an allusion to King’s own message. His speech was the culmination of daylong celebration of King’s legacy that began with marchers walking the streets of Washington behind a Meigs Co-operative Parish events/services POMEROY — The Meigs Co-operative Parish hosts a variety of events and service projects available throughout the week at the Mulberry Community Center.

At precisely 3 p.m., members of the King family tolled a bell to echo King’s call 50 years earlier to “let freedom ring.” It was the same bell that once hung in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., before the church was bombed in 1963. Georgia’s John Lewis, a Freedom Rider-turned-congressman, recounted the civil rights struggles of his youth and exhorted American to “keep the faith and keep our eyes on the prize.” The throngs assembled in soggy weather at the Lincoln Memorial, where King, with soaring, rhythmic oratory and a steely countenance, had pleaded with Americans to come together to stomp out racism and create a land of opportunity for all. White and black, they came this time to recall history — and live it. “My parents did their fair share and I feel like we have to keep the fight alive,” said Frantz Walker, a honey salesman from Baltimore who is black. “This is hands-on history.” Kevin Keefe, a Navy lawyer who is white, said he still tears up when he hears King’s speech. “What happened 50 years ago was huge,” he said, adding that there’s still progress to be made on economic inequality and other problems. Two former presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, spoke of King’s legacy — and of problems still to overcome. “This march, and that speech, changed America,” Clinton declared, remembering the impact on the world and himself as a young man. “They opened minds, they melted hearts and they moved millions — including a 17-year-old boy watching alone in his home in Arkansas.” Carter said King’s efforts had helped not just black Americans, but “In truth, he helped to free all people.” Still, Carter listed a string of current events that he said would have spurred King to action in this day, including the proliferation of guns and stand-your-ground laws, a Supreme Court ruling striking down parts of the Voting Rights Act, and high rates of joblessness among blacks.

In an earlier presentation by another company it was noted that aggregation results in about a six percent decrease as a result of the bundling over going alone. Nothing can happen without the approval of the majority of the people and has to go on the ballot after two public hearings. The earliest Middleport could put it on the ballot would be Primary 2014 because of the requirement for advanced hearings. A discussion was held on a maintenance/inspection for the large village hall generator, with a price from one company presented. Council decided to secure additional cost estimates before moving forward with an agreement. In a report from Mike Hendrickson, building inspector, floodplain administrator and zoning inspector for the village. it was noted that the routine rental inspection scheduling is underway, This involves mailing a scheduled time and date to all landlords for every rental that has not been inspected this year which involves about 100 landlords and about 300 rentals. It was noted that work on the new impound lot which is geared to storing junk or other vehicles until they are reclaimed or otherwise disposed of is continuing with the expectation of completion in the next few weeks. Faymon Roberts, village administrator, in his report commented on the variety of jobs carried out by village workers over the past month.

Hamilton As I speak to people about the Congress, one question arises more than any other: Why is Congress gridlocked? People are perplexed and disappointed with its performance, and are searching hard for an answer. The roots of Congress’s dysfunction are complex. But the fundamental reason is that real differences in ideology and principles about both government and governance exist among the voters. At heart, the reason it’s become so hard for Washington to act is that the two parties are being driven by fundamentally incompatible views. Conservatives place a heavy emphasis on liberty, individual freedom, and self-reliance. They have little confidence in government’s ability to play a role in improving society or the economy, and many of them look upon government as destructive, a force that undermines our basic freedom. They are fearful of centralized power, opposed to redistribution of any kind, and opposed to new government programs — or even to improving existing government programs they’d rather see cut. They reject entirely the notion of raising taxes or imposing new regulations on the private sector. Moreover, a belief has taken hold among some conservatives in recent years that compromise and accommodation are betrayals of their cause. This has put great pressure on GOP leaders not to budge in their negotiations with the White House and Senate Democrats. Meanwhile, on the “progressive” side — a label that has come to supplant “liberal,” in part because Republicans in the 1980s and 1990s were so effective at demonizing liberals — there is much greater emphasis on using government to narrow economic disparities and help those at the bottom of the income scale. They emphasize its role in providing equality of opportunity for all and individuals’ responsibility to the community around them. Because they have more confidence in government as a constructive force, they have no trouble with the notion of expanding government’s scope to improve Americans’ lives. In fact, unlike conservatives, they think government can expand freedom when it’s properly applied, by reining in the power of monied interests. While they do not favor a radical centralization of power in the federal government, as some conservatives charge, they are more willing to accept government action — and the legislative compromises that make it possible. Because they have less confidence in the market to solve all problems, they support both the taxes they believe necessary to run programs they like, and regulations to limit the private sector’s more predatory impacts on the environment or society. The gap between these views appears unbridgeable. It is not, nor are the differences between the two sides as wide as they appear. That is because most Americans find themselves somewhere between the extremes, able to see merit in both conservative and progressive ideas.

That hasn’t changed. As a whole, Americans do not want excessive government or heavy-handed bureaucracy, but they do want programs that help them, like Social Security and Medicare. They are dedicated to both individual freedom and opportunity and to community obligation, and they don’t see them as mutually contradictory. More than anything else, especially these days, they want to see moderation and cooperation from their political leaders. There may be dysfunction in Washington, but the system can still work. When policy makers gather (I’ve seen this countless times) ideology fades, pragmatism rises, and the question becomes, What can we do to fix the situation? That’s where most Americans find themselves. They do not see government as evil, though they are often disappointed in its practice and its practitioners. They are wary of excessive government, but again and again they turn to government at some level to help solve the problems they complain about, and they want it to work effectively and efficiently. In the end, Congress usually ends up about where most Americans are and want it to be. So I’m not surprised to find how, when dire problems confront them, both conservatives and progressives in Washington find their inner pragmatist.

Victor Bremson We are about to bomb Syria and we shouldn’t. It is pretty clear that Syria and the Middle East continue to be a mess. There are lots of conflicting issues in play; religion, oil, geopolitical, militarism, historical conflicts and a push for more freedom. There is a very destructive civil war going on in Syria that has negatively impacted a large segment of their population. It is now currently alleged that nerve gas has been used as a weapon against the opposition. A terrible escalation. Some believe that Obama is bowing to domestic political pressure and once again calling for a violent military response. On the other hand, many also agree that there is major suffering going on in Syria and something has to be done. But what? It is pretty obvious that we are in a loselose situation. Doing nothing will cause more suffering and bombing will probably cause even more suffering without any assurances that a better outcome will happen for the people of Syria. I was active in a group called Beyond War in the 1980s. We believed that war is obsolete. Obsolete doesn’t mean that there are no wars on the planet. It just means that wars don’t work, they don’t accomplish anything. Howard Thurman, American Civil Rights philosopher, said that choosing the path of violence destroys the creative opportunity to really solve a problem. The urge for a quick solution gives people a quick high but it almost always replaced with a long-term headache. This is very apparent in our international relationships. Violence is always counter-productive. It doesn’t work. We hurt people and destroy lives. What can our country do to really make a long-term positive impact in the Middle East? That would take some of our best thinking, but it won’t happen because the US national exceptionalist mythology is too strong, that we are the most powerful country in the world and can therefore do whatever we want to do. After 9/11 we never asked ourselves why someone might want to bomb us or what our options are. We don’t give creativity a chance. We don’t apply our values to our decisions. We are in fact bullies in the eyes of much of the world — an attack on Syria now would confirm that to the millions who already see that no country has invaded and occupied another country in this entire new millennium except the USA. And even worse, we are often going to war to Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

These are examples of obsolete thinking. Here are a few creative suggestions for what the US could do in the Middle East. 1. Decide what our deepest values are and live them. 2. Serve as a better role model of a functioning democracy. Use the old expression ‘attraction instead of promotion.’ 3. Encourage practical solutions for dealing with the poverty and ignorance in the Middle East. 4. Reduce the influence of oil on our decision-making by moving more rapidly towards alternative energy. 5. Begin the process of serious disarmament of our own weapons of mass destruction. 6. Ensure that the world spotlight shines brightly on the parties causing the suffering. Name them. Treat them as criminals and call them to justice. 7. Spend our foreign relief money on relieving suffering of citizens impacted by violent governments, not on arms. 8. Support nongovernmental organizations that are in the field helping people. 9. Make a personal commitment to resolve conflict without violence. 10. Find out who the indigenous groups are on the ground who are opposing the regime using exclusively nonviolent tactics and support them. 11. The UN Security Council should design, pass and enforce tough economic and political sanctions that radically affect only the elites who are ordering the violence and the forces carrying out those orders, not the average citizen who is already suffering. 12. Support a parallel government if the violent regime persists. 13. Redirect resources away from military aid toward humanitarian aid to refugees. 14. Build a volunteer nonviolent deescalation force willing to risk nonviolent intervention. 15. Offer the most brutal dictators a way out that allows them to live out their lives protected from the military strikes and outraged mobs they righteously fear. Trade some justice for much less bloodshed. 16. Ask the nonviolent parties on the ground in Syria in this case for more creative ideas to pressure change and protect the innocent without violence. Help put them into play. All of the above take a willingness to give up violence and find real solutions. We need and they need a much better answer.

Vernon deals Rio women loss in opener Randy Payton Special to OVP MOUNT VERNON — Given how his team performed in its preseason workouts and two scrimmage outings, it’s safe to say that Tuesday’s regular season opener at Mount Vernon Nazarene didn’t turn out the way that Rio Grande head coach Callum Morris envisioned that it would. “First of all, I’d like to apologize to the parents who were watching today. For the first 80 minutes, we were atrocious,” Morris said. “We looked like we’d never kicked a ball before…like we were still on the bus. We had no cohesion, no passing, no communication - we looked worse than we did in some of our games last year. It was nothing like we’d worked at during the past three weeks of our preseason.” Mount Vernon’s Casey Apple Alex Hawley| Sentinel Southern sophomore Jansen Wolfe (7) spikes the ball past scored the first of her two goals just Gallia Academy’s Maggie Clagg (20) and Haleigh Caldwell over 7-1/2 minutes into the match (22) during the third set of the Blue Angels 3-0 triumph, Tues- to give the Cougars a lead they would never relinquish in an evenday night in Centenary. tual 4-1 win over the RedStorm at Lady Tornadoes fall to GAHS in opener Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY — So much for gracious hosts. The Gallia Academy volleyball team toppled visiting Southern in straight games Tuesday night in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County. The Blue Angles (1-1) took the first game by a count 25-14 and then rallied from behind to take the second game by a count of 25-17. Gallia Academy kept up the solid play and defeated Southern (0-1) 25-13 in the the final game to take their first victory of the season. Gallia Academy’s scoring was paced by Maggie Clagg with 13 points. Maggie Westfall and Kathleen Allen each marked seven points, Kassie Shriver added six, while Chelsy Slone and Haleigh Caldwell each finished with five markers. Taylor Allen and Sam Mor- rissey each marked three points, and Jenna Meadows rounded out the GAHS total with one point. Westfall’s 15 kills paced the net offense of the Blue Angels, followed by Caldwell with five. Slone, Meadows and Clagg each marked four kills, while Shriver had one. Morrissey’s 16 assists was a team-high. Southern’s scoring was led by Katie Jenkins with 10 points, including eight straight in the second game. Hannah Hill marked five points, Jansen Wolfe had two, while Jordan Huddleston rounded out the SHS total with one point. GAHS is the lone Southeastern Ohio Athletic League opponent for the Lady Tornadoes this season.

MVNU, which was also playing its season opener, dominated from the outset and finished with a 21-6 edge in shots. Apple scored off of a through ball by Megan Griffith at the 7:33 mark of the opening half and Brittany Bogantz added another mark just over 22 minutes later off of a corner kick by Allison Paley to give the Cougars a 2-0 halftime lead. The deficit reached 3-0 for Rio when MVNU’s Dayna Setzler scored off an assist from Jackie Mourne at 59:31 and Apple finished the hosts’ scoring with an unassisted marker at 72:11. Rio Grande, which slipped to 0-5 all-time against MVNU, avoided a shutout when junior forward Karla Garn (Morrow, OH) scored an unassisted goal with 7:03 left in the contest. “We scored a goal inside the last 10 minutes. It also happened to be the first time we put three passes together,” said Morris. “It took us 80 minutes to finally put things togeth- er. The bad part is the team that just beat us 4-1 lost 3-0 in a scrimmage to the team we’re playing on Saturday. If we don’t turn up with any kind of motivation or enthusiasm, it’s going to be a long hard season for us.” Lexus Andolino blanked the RedStorm over the first 69:18 before giving way in goal for the Cougars to Lindsey Blue. Rio junior net-minder Allison Keeney (Cincinnati, OH) recorded four saves in the loss. “I actually thought Keeney played pretty well,” said Morris. “They’ve had eight or nine goals had it not been for some of the plays she made.” “No offense to Mount Vernon, but they’re no Lindsey Wilson or Davenport or Cumberland,” Morris added. “This was a real kick in the teeth for us considering how our preseason had gone. We can’t pick and choose when we’re going to play. That’s what makes this so demoralizing.” The RedStorm return to action on Saturday night when Point Park (Pa.)

Blue Devils snap skid vs. OVCS Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Talk about persistence paying off. The Gallia Academy soccer team outshot host Ohio Valley Christian by a sizable 23-10 overall margin, and those extra chances paid big dividends down the stretch Tuesday night during a 6-1 non-conference victory at the First Baptist Church Soccer Field in the Old French City. The Blue Devils (1-0-0) never trailed in the contest, as the guests needed just eight minutes in regulation to establish an early advantage after freshman Isaiah Lester netted a rebound for a 1-0 GAHS edge. Both the Defenders (1-1-0) and Blue Devils tightened up their defense during the rest of the first half, and neither team managed another goal before the intermission — allowing GAHS to lay claim to a slim 1-0 cushion at the break. The score remained that way until 64th minute, as Sammy Hemphill found the back of the net on an unassisted goal with 16:13 left in regulation — giving the Blue Devils a 2-0 lead. The cushion ballooned to 3-0 three minutes later after Jacob Click scored on a rebound from a penalty kick with 13:20 left in regulation. The Defenders, however, countered with their only goal Gallia Academy senior Sammy Hemphill, middle, unleashes a shot attempt at OVCS goalkeeper Marshall Hood, right, during the second half of Tuesday night’s non-conference soccer contest in Gallipolis, Ohio. of the night a minute later, as Evan Bowman lofted a shot over the head of GAHS keeper Alex Greer with 12:09 left for a 3-1 contest. T.G. Miller had an assist on the OVCS goal. The Blue Devils retaliated with 10:01 left in the contest as John Michael Roberts netted a crossing pass from Jacob McCormick, giving the guests a comfortable 4-1 edge. Gallia Academy added its final two goals in the final minute of regulation, as Lester scored an unassisted goal with 47.9 seconds left and Click added his second goal six seconds later to wrap up the 6-1 decision. GAHS, with the victory, claimed its first regular season victory over the Defenders since claiming an 8-1 decision back on August 26, 2010. The Blue Devils were winless against OVCS in their previous four matchups. Gallia Academy claimed a small 5-4 edge in corner kicks. Greer made three saves in net for GAHS, while Marshall Hood stopped 17 shots for the Defenders during the setback. GAHS golfers have bad day at Brass Ring Craig Dunn Special to OVP LOGAN — In the game of golf, you take nothing for granted. Still, the Logan Chieftains have built just about an insurmountable Southeastern Ohio Athletic League lead with two league matches still to be played. The Purple and White are on the verge of their first SEOAL title in 12 years after winning Tuesday’s conference match at the Brass Ring Golf Club. The Chieftains posted a team score of 154, besting runner-up Jackson (169) by a whopping 15 strokes to more than hold serve on their home course. Warren (176) took third place based on a sixth-best-score tiebreaker over Portsmouth (176), and Gallia Academy (188) was fifth in the third of five roundrobin league matches. Logan (12-0) now owns a commanding five-game lead over Jackson (7-5), followed by GAHS (4-8), Portsmouth (4-8) and Warren (3-9). The Chiefs can still be caught, but the bottom would have to fall out. About the only way the Chiefs can let the conference title slip through their collective fingers would be to finish last or nextto-last in the final two league matches while Jackson wins both. As it is, the Chiefs can clinch the title next Thursday at Cliffside Golf Club near Gallipolis in the season’s penultimate conference match. A second-place finish assures the Chiefs of a title share, and a first-place finish secures the title. Logan last won the SEOAL golf championship in 2001, the second of back-to-back conference crowns. Last year’s SEOAL Player of the Year, junior Logan Holbrook, shot an outstanding four-underpar round of 32 — the lowest score in the league this season by three shots — and sophomore Jacob Barstow carded a one-under-par 35, the season’s secondbest conference tally.

For this season’s secondranked Buckeyes to contend for a Big Ten, let alone a national title, coach Urban Meyer knows his defenders have to harken back to the not-so-distant past. “One thing about Ohio State defense, for a decade they were about as good a defense as there was in America,” Meyer said. “The last two years, it hasn’t been that way. So I’m anxious to get it back there to the Ohio State level.” The defense was just good enough to get it through an undefeated season in 2012. It provided the Big Ten defensive player of the year in lineman John Simon and always seemed to come up with a big play when needed. No one thought it was a bad defense, but the numbers weren’t very good: 360 yards and 23 points a game, including surrendering 512 yards to California, 481 to Indiana and 403 to UAB. When they host Buffalo on Saturday, the Buckeyes are seeking improvement despite missing eight starters (including suspended starting cornerback Bradley Roby) on that side of the ball. There’s a lot to accomplish. “Right now we still have a chip on our shoulder,” said AllBig Ten linebacker Ryan Shazier, one of only three holdover starters. “Some people don’t feel like we are worthy to be where we are right now (in the rankings). We’re fighting for championships in November right now. “We plan on being the best in the Big Ten.” The new first-teamers include four sophomores and several juniors who have little experience in a big-game spotlight. So there’s a lot to prove — even to the coach. “The jury is certainly out,” Meyer said. “I’m very comfortable with who they are as people and the way they practice. However, there’s nothing to gauge it upon other than practice. So how (do) they operate in a game? I’m really excited. “I’m very confident.” Acclaimed sophomores Adolphus Washington and Noah Spence get the call at the ends, with Michael Bennett at tackle and Joel Hale edging out Tommy Schutt at noseguard. The linebackers alongside Shazier are Curtis Grant in the middle and Joshua Perry on the strong side. “There’s a lot of guys in that front seven that we have high expectations for,” co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell said. “But until they do it in front of 107,000 people, we’re still going to sit here a little anxious to see what they can do. We really have liked what we’ve seen so far, and the upside is incredible.” Meyer said he’s concerned about the depth and quality at linebacker, a spot that he calls a concern on the cusp of the new season. The secondary includes rocksolid safeties C.J. Barnett and Christian Bryant, with Armani Reeves and Doran Grant at the corners. “Our intent would be to be better than last year,” cornerbacks and special-teams coach Kerry Coombs said. “We’ve got a lot of young players who are going to play really, really hard.” Beyond just beating Buffalo, the defense has set some lofty goals in the opener. “We probably want to just leave a great impression on the world,” Barnett said. “We want to be one of the best defenses in the country, so hopefully we can make strides toward that goal in this game.” The names have changed, but the staff’s second year with even the young players means the defense can do more things. “I think we’re going to be a faster defense and hopefully more aggressive as we grow in our scheme. And we’ll have more pressure packages,” Meyer said. “Last year we started the season as kind of a bend-but-don’t-break defense where it seemed we were always on heels. That’s not the kind of defense that anyone wants.” Every team is optimistic before the games begin. But the Buckeyes’ defenders feel they are almost entitled to something better. “Last year we had to work through some guys having doubts,” Bennett said of the flux that came with a new staff. “But this year everyone’s bought in, everyone’s more excited and you can see that light at the end of the season that if we do everything right it’s not just 12-0 it’s … big things can happen.” Browns to rest most starters vs. Bears CLEVELAND (AP) — The risk was too high for Browns coach Rob Chudzinski. He’d rather be safe than sorry. With the possibility of getting some of his top players hurt, Cleveland’s rookie coach opted to rest the majority of his starters Thursday night in the final exhibition game against the Chicago Bears. On Tuesday, Chudzinski said he was considering playing his starters for “10 to 12 reps” in the final tuneup before the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against Miami. However, Chudzinski chose to sit nearly all of them, and a team spokesman relayed the coach’s decision on Wednesday before the Browns left for Chicago. Backup quarterback Jason Campbell is expected to start instead of Brandon Weeden, who struggled last week in a 27-6 loss to Indianapolis. Earlier this week, Weeden said he would welcome the chance to get back on the field but won’t get the chance until he faces the Dolphins. Campbell didn’t practice Tuesday because of an unspecified illness, but the team spokesman said the veteran is feeling better. Third-string QB Brian Hoyer is likely to play most of the second half. Running back Trent Richardson, who showed tremendous quickness during last week’s game against the Colts, will also sit along with all of Cleveland’s offensive linemen except right guard Oneil Cousins, who zoomed up the depth chart following ankle injuries to Shawn Lauvao and Jason Pinkston. “I haven’t played in the fourth preseason game since 2008 or so,” Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas said Tuesday. “It’s been about five years. Every coach has a philosophy and he’ll back it up with a philosophy of wanting to play X number of plays or so. In the end, it doesn’t really matter as long as you stay healthy. The fourth game is really all about some of the young guys trying to earn a job. If they can’t make this team, they are trying to put together good film so they get picked up by somebody else.” Pa. court tackles issue of boys on girls’ teams John Klein/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MCT photo Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez scores after a third and long for the Cornhuskers first touchdown against Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship football game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012. Most Big Ten teams returning a lot of experience Eric Olson The Associated Press Lots of the names are the same around the Big Ten. When it comes to quarterbacks, Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez and Illinois’ Nathan Scheelhaase are going into their fourth seasons as starters, Ohio State’s Braxton Miller is entering his third and Northwestern’s Kain Colter is heading into year three as a fullor part-time starter. All 10 of last season’s leaders in receiving yards are back, as are seven of the top 10 rushers, conference offensive lineman of the year Taylor Lewan of Michigan and tight end of the year Jacob Pedersen of Wisconsin. Eight teams return at least 16 starters. But for all that experience, there still are some notable personnel issues to be resolved. Take Indiana, for instance. The Hoosiers have a league-high 21 returning starters, including quarterback Cam Coffman. But even he hasn’t locked up a job for 2013. As of Tuesday, coach Kevin Wilson had not decided whether Coffman, Tre Roberson or Nate Sudfeld would take the first snap against Indiana State on Thursday night. “I don’t know if we’ve got an inordinate amount of high-level secure guys where I’m going to play them the whole game,” Wilson said on the Big Ten coaches’ teleconference. “A lot of our 2s are as good as our 1s. We’ve improved our depth. Everyone is back on our team. We’re bringing in maybe the most talented class we’ve ever had. So we’ve got competition, we’ve got some help on our team. I think we’re going to play a lot of guys.” It took until Tuesday for Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio to announce that incumbent Andrew Maxwell would be his starter Friday against Western Michigan. The quarterback situation remains a mystery, at least publicly, at Wisconsin and Penn State. Curt Phillips and Joel Stave have been battling for the Badgers. First-year coach Gary Andersen said he won’t announce a starter ahead of Saturday’s opener against Massachusetts. Phillips, a sixth-year senior, started five games last season and Stave, a redshirt sophomore, started six. “The quarterbacks know who the starting quarterback is, and in turn the team will know just like they’ll know who the starting linebacker and running back is, and in turn it will work its way out,” Andersen said. “I don’t think it needs to be a big deal because it is the quarterback.” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien is choosing between sophomore Tyler Ferguson and freshman Christian Hackenberg, the only scholarship quarterbacks on the roster. O’Brien had planned to make an announcement last week. He said the decision would be kept under wraps until Saturday’s opener against Syracuse at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. “What’s best for the football team and for both Christian and Tyler,” O’Brien said, “is to make sure they understand what direction we’re heading — our team and those two guys — and when the game starts everybody will know who the starting quarterback is when it’s our first offen- sive series.” There are newcomers at other positions who could become wellknown names by season’s end. Ohio State is replacing all four of its defensive linemen, and coach Urban Meyer said sophomores Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington and junior Michael Bennett have caught his eye in practices. Spence made 12 tackles and a sack against Miami in his first game last season. Washington appeared in 10 games, and three of his nine tackles were sacks. Bennett has four sacks among his 28 career tackles. At Nebraska, junior-college transfer Randy Gregory has created a lot of buzz among fans hopeful he can strengthen the defensive line. “It will be fun to watch,” Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini said. “He has a lot of talent, he has a good work ethic, and I think he’s a pretty instinctive guy who understands football. I like the prospect. He’s set up to have a good year. Is he going to be the finished product from day one? No, that’s a little unrealistic. But he could be a presence for us.” Minnesota coach Jerry Kill said freshman Donovahn Jones could play a major role in his building project. Jones started out as a quarterback but moved to receiver when it became apparent he wouldn’t beat out Philip Nelson. Jones is 6-foot-3 and has a 40-inch vertical jump. “He’s too good an athlete to not have on the field,” Kill said. “He’s been in the learning progression at receiver and we’re trying to get him coached up as fast as we can.” HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A state judge has declined to intervene in the growing issue of boys playing sports traditionally reserved for girls, saying a previous court ruling does not necessarily prohibit the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association from banning the practice. Commonwealth Court Judge Kevin Brobson on Tuesday turned down a request by the PIAA to modify a landmark 1975 state court ruling that required schools to let girls play on boys’ teams. “If PIAA, as the primary policymaking body for interscholastic competition in the Commonwealth, believes it is appropriate to take action in this area, then it should take the first step into the breach and create a policy,” Brobson wrote. “Only then, if that policy is challenged in a court of law, may its constitutionality be evaluated.” A lawyer for the PIAA, which has about 1,400 member schools and some 350,000 student participants, said the organization’s board would likely put the topic on its October meeting agenda. If a new policy is adopted, it would not take effect for at least a year. PIAA general counsel Alan Boynton said the organization was “pretty satisfied” with Brobson’s ruling. “It wasn’t everything we wanted, but it gives the PIAA the option of doing what it thinks is appropriate,” he said. Boynton said some schools do ban boys on girls’ teams, while others do not. He said member schools have been pressuring the PIAA to address the problem. The organization does not plan to change the ability of girls to play on boys’ teams. A Pittsburgh couple, lawyers Mary and James Grenen, sought to have the 1975 case reopened last year after seeing what occurred in the high school field hockey games involving their daughters. Field hockey and volleyball are seeing the most boys competing on girls’ teams, but it has also occurred in swimming, soccer and tennis.

The River Valley volleyball team made the first step toward its second straight Ohio Valley Conference championship Tuesday night with a 3-1 victory over host Chesapeake. This is the second straight win for the Lady Raiders, bringing their record to 2-2 on the young season. RVHS (2-2, 1-0 OVC) jumped out to an early lead after taking the first set 25-19 and the second set 25-17. The Lady Panthers battled back to take the third game 25-18. River Valley took advantage of 13 kills in the fourth set and edged out the 27-25 win, and the 3-1 match victory. Leia Moore led the Lady Raiders offense with 14 points, followed by Rachael Smith with 11. Courtney Smith notched 10 points, Kaci Bryant added eight, while Chelsea Copley finished with six. Rounding out the RVHS service attack was Kaela Shaw with two points and Jacy Walter with one. Moore also paced the River Valley at the net with 10 kills, followed by Bryant with eight.

Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com GLOUSTER, Ohio — The home course advantage is real.

Falcons Austin Doughty (52) and Zack Tokie (64) also played but did not count toward the team total. Trimble was led by Cole Shifflet, who fired a 41, and Jeff Andrews, who shot a 46. Nick Smith’s 47 and Jeff Browning’s 49 capped off the THS total. Tomcats Tyler Sayre (50) and Cacey Moore (60) also compet- ed but did not contribute to the THS total. David Warner was the low man for the Eagles, firing a 42. Jack Kuhn and Ty Bissell each shot rounds of 51 for Eastern, while Tyler Hensley rounded out the EHS total with a 52.

You might not feel as free as you might like in public, and therefore you often are withdrawn in conversations. If you are single, you could encounter someone who likes just one side of your personality. Keep dating until you find someone who accepts all of you. If you are attached, the two of you sometimes encounter rigidity between you. Recognize that neither person wants to hurt the other. Count on GEMINI to overwhelm you with ideas. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep in mind that trying to establish an agreement could be futile in this present atmosphere. As much as you might receive several “yeses” in several days, the conversation will need to be repeated. Work with the existing situation. Tonight: Think weekend plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll be looking for an opportunity to discuss a financial investment with an associate. It might seem like a good time, but any agreement or conversation you have now will be like quicksand, as it will vanish and be forgotten very soon. Tonight: Make it your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are all smiles because you see an open period entering your life when you will have more time for yourself. Be willing to go along with someone else’s efforts and have a serious conversation. You might be too tired or cranky to open up, but try anyway. Tonight: Order in. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to someone you care about. Listen to news more openly than you have in the past. You might feel hurt by someone’s comment. Let it go, as you might be oversensitive right now. Let your creativity flow when interacting with others. Tonight: Not to be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know what you want. You could be rather overwhelmed by a situation that is exhausting. Your ability to make a difference allows you to make the right choices. Others might be slightly envious of how stable you are. Tonight: Zero in on what needs to happen. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Touch base with a friend. You might need to take the lead and handle a personal matter. Listen to what is being said by someone you look up to. The pressure might be very difficult to handle, as this person could have high expectations of you. Tonight: Take a stand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out to someone whom you care a lot about. You seem to have left this person alone for too long. Read between the lines, and honor what is happening within you. Be willing to put yourself on the line. Tonight: Try to see beyond the obvious. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Observe what is happening within your circle of friends and how they might be affected by a recent situation. It would be wise to eliminate an irritant. Consider your options carefully, yet look at the whole picture and not just at the individuals involved. Tonight: Foster a better relationship. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others continue to seek you out; they have an offer that is too good to refuse. Do not lose sight of your priorities. You need to act like the strong person you are, who knows how to lead. Someone can’t get seem to get away from how appealing you are. Tonight: Say “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to approach a personal matter very differently. You have wisdom on your side. The only mistake you could make would be to defer to someone else. You know what is good for you, and someone else can’t make the choice for you. Tonight: Run some errands. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You clearly are in weekend mode, which is fine — if you’re on vacation. However, if you’re not, you could have an adverse effect on an associate. If at work, try for some semblance of interest in what others are doing. A boss still might see through you. Tonight: Ever playful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be very concerned about a personal or domestic issue. Being present will take self-discipline. You also might have difficulty looking at the long-term implications of a decision at the moment. Tonight: Head home, and perhaps run an errand or two along the way. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, August 29, 2013 Four Turns Tracks on Tap OUT EARLY For the 1 JOHNSON first time this season, point leader SPRINT CUP SERIES Jimmie Johnson failed to finish the race. Engine failure sidelined Johnson after only 54 laps in Michigan. With a huge points lead, Johnson and his team have been experimenting with different setups with an eye on the Chase. TEASES On Sunday, Dale 2 JUNIOR Earnhardt Jr. repeated an unfortu- nate pattern he’s developed recently at MIS — leading laps but ultimately disappearing from the picture at the front. Junior led 20 laps in the first half of the race but crashed after a tire failure on lap 136. He finished 36th. FUELISH Mark Martin al3 BEING most saw the end of his 120-race winless streak Sunday. He led 23 straight laps late in the race, but the team gambled that the No. 55’s fuel load could be stretched to the checkered flag. Martin ran out of fuel with four laps to go, losing the lead to eventual winner Joey Logano. DEPARTING Earnhardt 4 MONTOYA Ganassi Racing revealed last week that Juan Pablo Montoya won’t be returning to the team’s No. 42 Sprint Cup cars next season. Montoya won a pair of Cup road-course races but failed to break through on ovals. Among those under consideration to replace him is 21-year-old Kyle Larson, who has made noise in the Nationwide Series. Sprint Cup Standings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

(Photo by ASP, Inc.) Wild Card Win Joey Logano wins in Michigan, muddies Chase wild card outlook By MIKE HEMBREE Athlon Sports Contributor The timing could not have been better. Joey Logano needed a win. Ford needed a win. Penske Racing needed a win. And there was an additional trophy on the line. When Logano swept across the Michigan International Speedway finish line 1.01 seconds in front of Kevin Harvick to win the Pure Michigan 400 Sunday, a laundry list of positives received some big checkmarks. The victory was Logano’s first in Sprint Cup for Penske Racing, which brought him on board to start the 2013 season. It was the 23-year-old driver’s first Cup win in 44 races, dating to a victory at Pocono Raceway in June 2012. The win dramatically enhanced Logano’s chances of making the Chase for the Sprint Cup with only three races remaining to the cutoff for the playoffs. Ford had been shut out of victory lane since Greg Biffle won at Michigan in June, and Logano’s win was the Blue Oval’s fourth of the year. And the victory came with a significant, bragging-rights bonus. Wins at MIS are particularly treasured in the Cup garage area because the track is so close to the heartbeat of the American automobile manufacturing base in and around Detroit. MIS added some shine to that dynamic last week by introducing the Michigan Heritage trophy, a 30-pound bronze award to be presented to the winning manufacturer after each Cup race at the track. The perpetual trophy wound up in Blue Oval colors Sunday, and the win gained even more importance because the track is so special to Penske Racing owner Roger Penske, who calls Detroit home and once owned MIS. “What a great place to win,” Logano said. “What a great time to win, being in Ford’s backyard, being in Roger’s backyard. Just a great opportunity for me. I’m glad to make the most of it.” Logano had been threatening to break through all season, carrying five top-5 finishes into MIS. But he also has struggled at various junctures, and four race finishes of 35th or worse have made the run toward a Chase spot difficult. With the MIS win, Logano jumped three places in points to 13th, 17 points out of the Chase top 10. He also became a big player in the battle for two wildcard spots in the Chase, sitting in third in that part of the standings. “We need to try to figure out how aggressive we need to be,” Logano said of the team’s planning for the final three races of the regular season. “That’s a conversation we’ll have throughout this week. Right now, as long as we’re consistent, knocking off top 10s like this team has been doing, if we get another win, yeah, it’s going to help us get in the Chase, but it is definitely a great help for our Chase hopes.” The scramble for Chase spots remains an interesting one with races at Bristol, Atlanta and Richmond still on the pre-Chase list. The top seven drivers in points appear to be very good bets for the Chase, but from eighth through 15th the battle should be quite vivid over the next three weeks. Logano led the final four laps of Sunday’s race, which, like numerous other MIS events in recent seasons, became a fuel-mileage test of sorts. Mark Martin, driving his last race for Michael Waltrip Racing (he’ll move in as a substitute for the injured Tony Stewart this week), took a shot at the race win over the closing miles, although the team projected his Toyota would run out of fuel with two or three laps remaining. Indeed, Martin’s fuel tank emptied, and Logano swept into first with four laps to go. Harvick followed him to the finish line but had no real chance to compete for the win. Following in the top 5 were Kurt Busch (who continued his strong mid-season surge in the Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet), Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer. Austin Dillon, driving for Stewart in the No. 14 Chevrolet, rallied from an early-race crash to finish 14th. Truck Standings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

JEFF GORDON It was a mediocre race day for Gordon at Michigan. He was never in the group at the front and came home a sour 17th. He dropped a spot in points to 14th, remains winless and is on the outside looking in for the Chase. Compiled and written by Mike Hembree. Follow Mike on Twitter: @mikehembree. Johnson early favorite as Chase nears By MIKE HEMBREE Athlon Sports Contributor Is the race for this year’s Sprint Cup championship going to be a wild run featuring a posse of several drivers — as NASCAR intended when the Chase for the Sprint Cup was introduced — or will it be a breeze for five-time champion Jimmie Johnson? With the Chase cutoff race at Richmond International Raceway looming, a case can be made for both versions. Johnson is in the middle of another spectacular year. Entering Saturday’s race at Bristol, he has a comfy 41-point lead over secondplace Clint Bowyer. That lead, of course, will mostly disappear when the standings are reset for the Chase, but the impact of Johnson’s season to date certainly will not disappear. He has four victories, a number matched only by Matt Kenseth, who is sixth in points. His 15 top 10s are more than any other driver, and the NASCAR point system is absolutely in love with consistent, top-10 showings. He has led the points after 21 of 23 races. He has led at least one lap in 14 of 23 races. He is strong. Even after a blown engine Sunday at Michigan nailed Johnson with his first did-not-finish of the season, there is no reason to consider him anything but a solid favorite as the Chase approaches. Will there be contenders — or pretenders — for the throne? Indications are several drivers could have a shot at gunning down Johnson. Kyle Busch looks like the driver with the best shot. Busch actually has more top-5 finishes (10) than Johnson (9). He has rallied from a poor start (finishes of 34th and 23rd in the first two races) to land fifth in points after ranking 11th just a handful of races ago. Busch logged his third win of the year two weeks ago at Watkins Glen International, and he’s finished in the top 12 in six of the past seven races. He was expected to have a Sprint Cup championship by now; this could be the year he notches the first. Although Kenseth has trailed off to a degree in recent weeks, he has four wins scattered throughout the schedule and figures to give other frontrunners fits in the Chase. A steady point racer, Kenseth’s victories will put him at or near the top of the standings for the Chase kickoff. Clint Bowyer, Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick also are parked in the seasonal top 5 and could shake up things with some strong runs in the early weeks of the Chase. Race: Irwin Tools Night Race Track: Bristol Motor Speedway Location: Bristol, Tenn. When: Saturday, Aug. 24 TV: ABC (7:30 p.m. EST) Layout: .533-mile oval Banking/Turns: Variable (24-30 degrees) Banking/Straightaways: 16 degrees 2012 Winner: Denny Hamlin Crew Chief’s Take: “Very few drivers ever really get comfortable at Bristol, although most say they do. The outside groove proved to be the one that drivers preferred after Bruton (track owner Bruton Smith) ground the surface up. It’s one of the most exciting tracks in NASCAR, for sure, with the amount of action we’ve seen over the years. Multiple grooves have come and gone, but it’s always good racing with beating and banging, and I expect nearly the same regardless of what car is running and how confident the drivers are in them. Everyone at one time wanted a ticket to Bristol, so it should still be on your bucket list to go see, because now you can actually get one.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Food City 250 Track: Bristol Motor Speedway When: Friday, Aug. 23 TV: ESPN (7:30 p.m. EST) 2012 Winner: Joey Logano CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: UNOH 200 Track: Bristol Motor Speedway Date: Wednesday, Aug. 21 TV: FOX SPORTS 1 (8:00 p.m. EST) 2012 Winner: Timothy Peters Classic Moments Bristol Motor Speedway Long known for high drama and short tempers, Bristol Motor Speedway lived up to its billing in rarely seen fashion in the 1999 Goody’s Headache Powder 500. Out front in the closing laps, Terry Labonte handed the lead to Dale Earnhardt by gambling with a four-tire pit stop under a late yellow while Earnhardt and other contenders stayed on track. But, with only a handful of cars on the lead lap, Labonte lined up sixth on the subsequent restart with five laps remaining — plenty of time to mount a charge. Using the fresh rubber to his full advantage, Labonte quickly began picking off competitors and, by the time the white flag waved, wrestled the lead from Earnhardt coming to the start/finish line. But just as Labonte’s No. 5 Chevrolet cleared Earnhardt’s vaunted black No. 3 on the exit of Turn 2, Earnhardt clipped Labonte in the left rear quarter panel to “rattle his cage,” as The Intimidator later quipped. The move sent Labonte spinning and Earnhardt sailing to a controversial victory that would become a favorite topic around dinner tables and water coolers for years to come. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Hard to ignore Kyle Busch’s five wins and 12 top 10s in 17 Cup starts at Bristol. Pretty Solid Pick: Michigan winner Joey Logano finished eighth after leading 139 laps at Bristol last August. Good Sleeper Pick: Take a look at Brian Vickers — who finished eighth at BMS in March — in his new No. 55 gig. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Mark Martin may have landed a nice substitute role in Tony Stewart’s No. 14, but that won’t change the fact that he hasn’t won a Cup race at Bristol since 1998. Insider Tip: Aggression is often rewarded at Bristol, making the Busch brothers, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski the types to keep an eye on.
