Craig receives eight-year sentence
Meigs County woman
pleads guilty on meth,
tampering charges
Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — A Meigs
County woman will spend
the next eight years in prison following a court hearing on Wednesday.
Sara J. Craig, 33, formerly of Middleport, entered a guilty plea to six
felony counts contained
in three indictments re-

turned against her earlier
this year.
Craig plead guilty to
one count each illegal
manufacturing of methamphetamine, a felony
of the second degree; illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the
manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the
third degree; tampering
with evidence, a felony of

the third degree; receiving
stolen property, a felony
of the fourth degree; obstructing official business,
a felony of the fifth degree;
and non-support of dependents, a felony of the fifth
degree.
The two methamphetamine charges stem from
a January methamphetamine lab discovered in
the Village of Middleport.
According to reports,
officers conducted a trash
pull at a residence where
Craig and Ianzoe Herman
were located. Following
the trash pull, officers executed a search warrant on
the house, finding 11 onepot
methamphetamine

labs and the precursors for
the manufacture of methamphetamine.
The charges of tampering with evidence, receiving stolen property and obstructing official business
are in connection with the
homicide at the Meigs Motel on May 9, 2013.
While Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen
Williams said in court
Wednesday that there was
no evidence Craig was directly connected to the homicide death of Wallace R.
Chafin, Craig was involved
in the case following the
homicide.
Williams stated that
while officers were looking

Never forget
9-11 remembered 12 years later

for Chaffin’s vehicle following his death, Craig was located returning to the motel driving the vehicle with
Ryan A. Cozart as the passenger in the vehicle. Cozart has been charged with
murder in the case. Craig
was reportedly returning
to the motel with Cozart
to dispose of evidence.
The single count of nonsupport of dependents is
from a child support case
in which payments were
not made from Sept. 2011
to Jan. 2013.
Craig was sentenced to
a mandatory term of four
years in the methamphetamine case. She was also
sentenced to 36 months

on the charge of tampering
with evidence, 12 months
on obstructing official
business and 12 months on
receiving stolen property.
The 12 month sentences
are to be served concurrently with one another,
with the remainder to be
consecutive for a total of 8
years in prison.
Following her time in
prison, Craig will serve
five years community control as her sentence on the
non-support of dependents
case.
Craig has been in the
custody of the Meigs
County Sheriff’s Office
since her arrest in May.

Pomeroy Merchants
look to holiday
observances
Charlene Hoeflich

POMEROY — A look at the holidays ahead and the
role of the Pomeroy Merchants Association was discussed
at this week’s meeting of the Pomeroy Merchants Association held at Farmers Bank.
A report was given on the plan of Pomeroy Village for a
Halloween observance in downtown Pomeroy from 6:30
to 8:30 p.m. on Main and Court Streets. Councilman
Luke Ortman reported on a meeting about 20 volunteers
who are working on the project which is being held in
conjunction with the downtown merchants who will be
participating in candy give-a-ways and other activities,
and will be having their stores open for the convenience
of shoppers. It was noted that the parking lot will be used
for parking since the activities will be taking place on the
streets and sidewalks of downtown. Merchants will be
participating by setting up tables and booths and others
are invited to join in with displays of their own products.
The mini-park on Court Street will be a haunted place
for costumed children to visit. A disc jockey is expected
to play music. Ortman said that fire trucks will be placed
across the streets of the areas where the event is taking
place.
Decorations for the holiday season were discussed at the
village and funding was set aside for the purchase of new
garland to be used in the decoration of the 30 downtown
period light poles. It was noted that each pole requires 12
feet of garland. The need for new lights for the wreaths
was also discussed. Dan Short, president, announced

Twelve years ago, as we went about our daily lives, the United States changed forever. As the planes hit the World
Trade Center, Pentagon and crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, those around the country expressed a united front
of patriotism and support for those directly and indirectly affected by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. On
Wednesday, the 12-year anniversary, those symbols were once again evident around the nation and here at home.
Flags lined the downtown area in Pomeroy, hung from the Meigs County Courthouse and were flown at half staff at
the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office to remember those lives forever changed.

POMEROY — Citizens, business owners, employees
and members of Pomeroy Village Council meet on Monday to discuss a community event for trick-or-treat.
‘Pomeroy Treat Street’ will be an event held from 6:30-8
p.m. on Oct. 31 in the downtown area of Pomeroy.
Treat Street is a collaborative effort of Imagine Pomeroy, the Pomeroy Merchants Association, Pomeroy Village Council, many businesses and organizations from the
area, and residents from the village.
Details of the event are being planned at this time
and may include a haunted house, photo booth and
other activities.
A planning meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16 at Pomeroy Village Hall.

Visiting Egypt in crisis: Health law could overwhelm
The pyramids are quiet
addiction services
Jack Chang

The Associated Press

CAIRO — The lone tourist bus curved
through the desert past the limestonetopped Pyramid of Khafre, leaving the
camel handlers and postcard sellers trudging through its dust. It rounded one last
turn, then settled atop a plateau overlooking the pyramid and its two mammoth
siblings.
The bus door flapped open, unleashing
a dozen Chinese tourists into the empty
parking lot. They strolled toward the plateau’s edge, cameras and parasols in hand,
just ahead of the vendors scrambling at
the prospect of a few paying customers.
For a moment, the scene was perfect —
the solitary caravan approaching from the
desert, the heat shimmering off the stone
blocks, the majestic desolation.
It helped that we were mostly alone that
hot, late-August morning in the heart of
one of the world’s best-known tourist destinations. I was in town to help cover the
troubles that had seized Egypt over the
past two months and had found a calm
morning to make it out to the Cairo suburbs, where the pyramids mark the start
of the vast brown desert. I didn’t expect
to find the usual crowds there, but still the
emptiness and quiet were a surprise. Closer to the pyramids, the crowds weren’t
much thicker: a British family, a scattering
of Arab couples, Somali women posing for
pictures in flowing headscarves, everyone
easy and unhurried.
Years ago, before the 2011 revolution
that started Egypt’s political roller coaster, visiting the pyramids could quickly become a two-hour flight through clouds of
tour groups. Visitors, guides and vendors
jostled in front of the ancient marvels, as
a steady line of buses emerged from the
brown blocks of the city.
Now, after a summer of coup, protests
and massacres, the flocks have flown to
other spots, abandoning such draws as
the Egyptian Museum, the ancient ruins
of Luxor farther down the Nile and, of
course, the pyramids of Giza. In mid-August, arrivals at Egyptian airports dropped
by more than 40 percent after the military
brutally cleared two sit-in camps protesting the July ouster of President Mohammed Morsi, of the Muslim Brotherhood.
That has devastated the country’s allimportant tourism industry, which makes
up more than a tenth of all economic activity. But it’s proved a boon for travelers
willing to defy official warnings from the
U.S. and other countries against coming
to Egypt.
Hotel and restaurant prices have
dropped, sometimes by half, as has the
Egyptian pound, making the already affordable country even more so. Once at
the sights, travelers find themselves usually alone with some of the world’s greatest treasures, be they gold death masks
of pharaohs or the sublime centuries-old
mosques soaring above old Cairo. Tourist

sites have become forlorn, even serene —
more befitting these dignified survivors of
the millennia.
“There’s no business here, there are no
more tourists,” one camel rider said, the
ache in his voice sounding genuine. “I
have a family. We need to eat.”
In the winding alleys of the Khan elKhalili bazaar in old Cairo, merchants
tried to physically stop what rare visitors they spotted walking through as they
hocked limestone miniature pyramids and
bright cotton fabrics.
Shop owner Mohamed Hafez said his
sales had fallen by “100 percent” since
Egyptians first took to the streets 2 ½
years ago.
“There used to be a lot of tourists, a lot
of nationalities,” Hafez said, while cooling
down in the air-conditioned inner sanctum
of his souvenir shop. “Now, it’s nothing.
We just want safety, no more revolutions.”
Wooing back those visitors has become
a top priority, even with all the military
vehicles and checkpoints in the streets.
Dallas-based college student Deniz Mustafa had, in fact, flown into Cairo as part
of a volunteer project inviting youth from
around the world to visit and tout Egypt’s
top tourist sites.
Two weeks after his arrival in July, however, Morsi was violently removed, and
the volunteer project was cancelled. Mustafa responded by hitting the road and seeing Egypt, flying down to Luxor and up to
the Red Sea resort of Dahab, where empty
restaurants were offering 50 percent discounts on entire menus.
Mustafa and a fellow volunteer from
China had since moved onto the Egyptian
Museum, where they were studying the
ancient granite statues of Egyptian nobles
and the small wooden ships buried with
pharaohs.
That peace was without a doubt a fragile one. The city still goes dead every Friday afternoon in anticipation of Muslim
Brotherhood protests that can turn violent
in an instant. Nighttime curfews were also
in effect while I was there, effectively shutting down Cairo’s buzzing nightlife.
Everyone was nervously waiting for the
Brotherhood’s response to the repression
and expecting the worst. On one night in
the bar of my hotel, the pops of explosions
outside immediately silenced all conversation, as we wondered whether the violence was indeed back. A quick check out
on the street confirmed they had only
been fireworks.
For visitors, it all made for a rare
glimpse into a proud country trying to figure out its future and also a chance to see
Egypt free of many of the usual hassles.
The dangers were real but mostly manageable.
The threat of a U.S. strike on Syria,
however, made some Americans nervous
about revealing their nationality. And
if the political troubles flare up again in
Egypt, even the bravest traveler will have
to think twice about coming.

Carla K. Johnson
AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — It has
been six decades since
doctors concluded that addiction was a disease that
could be treated, but today
the condition still dwells
on the fringes of the medical community. Only 1 cent
of every health care dollar
in the United States goes
toward addiction, and few
alcoholics and drug addicts
receive treatment. One
huge barrier, according to
many experts, has been a
lack of health insurance.
But that barrier crumbles in less than a year.
In a major break with the
past, 4 million people with
drug and alcohol problems
— from homeless drug
addicts to working moms
who drink too much —
suddenly will become eligible for insurance coverage
under the new health care
overhaul.
The number of people
seeking treatment could
double over current levels,
depending on how many
states decide to expand
their Medicaid programs
and how many addicts
choose to take advantage
of the new opportunity, according to an Associated
Press analysis of government data. The analysis
compared federal data on
the addiction rates in the
50 states, the capacity of
treatment programs and
the provisions of the new
health law.
The surge in patients is
expected to push a marginal part of the health
care system out of church
basements and into the
mainstream of medical
care. Already, the prospect
of more paying patients
has prompted private equity firms to increase their
investments in addiction
treatment companies, according to a market research firm. And families
fighting the affliction are
beginning to consider a
new avenue for help.
“There is no illness currently being treated that
will be more affected by
the Affordable Care Act
than addiction,” said Tom

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.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.
All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and
include address and telephone number. No unsigned
letters will be published.
Letters should be in good taste, addressing
issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be
accepted for publication.

McLellan, CEO of the nonprofit Treatment Research
Institute and President
Barack Obama’s former
deputy drug czar. “That’s
because we have a system
of treatment that was built
for a time when they didn’t
understand that addiction
was an illness.”
But those eager for a
new chance at sobriety
may be surprised by the
reality behind the promise.
The system for treating
substance abuse — now
largely publicly funded and
run by counselors with limited medical training — is
small and already full to
overflowing in many places. In more than two-thirds
of the states, treatment
clinics are already at or
approaching 100 percent
capacity.
The new demand could
swamp the system before
even half of the newly insured show up at the door,
causing waiting lists of
months or longer, treatment agencies say. In recent years, many rehab
centers have been shrinking rather than growing because of government budget cuts for patients who
receive public support.
In the coming years,
treatment programs and
medical colleges will face
pressure to ramp up to create a larger system.
But until then, addiction treatment may represent an extreme example
of one of the Affordable
Care Act’s challenges: actually delivering the care
that people are supposed
to receive.
Many with substance
problems are waiting eagerly for January, when the
new insurance will become
available.
“It’s the chance to clean
up and not use anymore,
so I could live a stable life,”
said 30-year-old Ashley
Lore of Portsmouth, Ohio,
who was jailed and lost
custody of her 4-year-old
daughter as a result of her
heroin addiction. “If I get
into treatment, I get visitation to my daughter back.
And I get her back after I
complete treatment.”
Only about 10 percent of

the 23 million Americans
with alcohol or drug problems now receive treatment, according to the National Survey on Drug Use
and Health. Shame and
stigma are part of the reason but about a quarter of
them don’t have insurance
coverage. That compares
with the overall uninsured
rate of 16 percent.
With money for treatment limited, slots in rehabilitation centers and
hospitals are scarce. In
Minnesota, which has one
of the higher substance
abuse rates in the nation —
11.6 percent of the population — there are slightly
more than 3,900 inpatient
beds for the 491,000 people who need treatment,
according to federal data.
Occupancy is over 100 percent.
The new law would
provide subsidies to help
many buy private coverage.
The government is also
pressing states to expand
their Medicaid programs
to include more working
poor people. If 24 states
expand their Medicaid programs — roughly the number now planning to do so
— an additional 4 million
prospective patients with
addiction problems would
get insurance, according to
the AP analysis. If virtually
all of the states eventually
decide to expand, as federal officials predict, the
ranks of the newly insured
with addiction problems
could reach 5.5 million.
Perhaps as important
as the expansion, the new
law designates addiction
treatment as an “essential
health benefit” for most
commercial plans.
“This is probably the
most profound change
we’ve had in drug policy
ever,” said Michael Botticelli, deputy director of
the Office of National Drug
Control Policy. “We know
one of the most significant
reasons for the treatment
gap is folks who don’t have
insurance or who have an
inadequate coverage package for substance use disorders.”

A day to remember
MLB reflects on 9/11
with on-field tributes
Stephen Hawkins
The Associated Press

Texas Rangers third base coach
Gary Pettis believes it is important
for Major League Baseball – and all
Americans – to take a moment to remember Sept. 11.
Pettis has vivid memories of that
day 12 years ago when two hijacked
jets were flown into the World Trade
Center towers. Pettis was then a
coach for the Chicago White Sox,

who had arrived in town only a few
hours earlier for a scheduled game
against the New York Yankees that
night.
“You could smell the smoke. It
wasn’t a good feeling that day,” Pettis
said Wednesday before the Rangers
played the Pittsburgh Pirates. “It’s
so sad that so many people lost their
lives, and it’s ruined other peoples’
lives. … It’s like it was a movie, it’s
like that wasn’t something that actually happened. I still can’t believe it.”
MLB players, coaches and umpires wore American flag patches
embroidered on the side of their caps
on Wednesday. Special lineup cards
were used, and patriotic on-field tributes were planned for the 15 games

Wednesday, involving all 30 teams.
Flags were half-staff, and there were
moments of silence across baseball.
The 531st U.S. Air Force Quintet
performed the national anthem instrumentally at Rangers Ballpark.
The honorary first pitch was thrown
out by former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch, who was 19 when she
was captured along with five other
soldiers after the U.S. Army’s 570th
Maintenance Company took a wrong
turn and came under attack in Iraq
in 2003. She was held for nine days
before being rescued.

POINT
PLEASANT,
W.Va. — A little bit better,
but it still wasn’t enough.
After dropping a 3-0
decision to Cross Lanes
Christian on Saturday, the
Point Pleasant girls soccer
team kept things a little
more competitive Tuesday
night before ultimately falling 3-1 in a non-conference
matchup at Ohio Valley
Bank Track and Field.
The host Lady Knights
(2-4) never led in the contest, despite claiming a
10-6 overall edge in shot
attempts and a 6-1 margin
in corners. The first goal
of the night also came
on an errant clearing attempt by Allison Smith in
the second minute, allowing the Lady Warriors (50) to take a 1-0 lead into

the intermission.
Kaylee Witters gave CLC
a 2-0 cushion following a
free kick goal in the 53rd
minute, as the shot came
from the right side and
landed in the back left side
of the net.
Ashtyn Wedge put the
Lady Knights on the scoreboard in the 57th minute
after taking advantage of
a free kick, making it a 2-1
contest with over 23 minutes remaining in regulation.
The Lady Warriors,
however, sealed the deal
with breakaway goal from
Taylor Mullins in the 72nd
minute — making it a 3-1
edge with under nine minutes remaining.
Cassie Nibert made four
saves in net for PPHS,
while
Abigail
Jeffrey
stopped five shots for the
victors.

Course in Gallipolis, Ohio.

Wahama tops SG,
Eastern at Riverside
Staff Report

MASON, W.Va. — It
was a very warm and humid evening Tuesday at
the Riverside Golf Course
when the high school varsity golf teams from Wahama, South Gallia and Eastern played nine holes in a
TVC tri-match. The format
for the match was play six,
count four.
It was a touch and go
match with all three teams
being neck and neck for the
first few holes. South Gallia jumped out to an early
lead with both Wahama andEastern trading shots for
second place. The winner
was not determined until
the scorecards from the
number five players were
turned in and counted.
The White Falcons were
able to finish strong to top
South Gallia by six shots
and Eastern by 24. The
final tally for the winners
was 177, while South Gallia shot a total of 183 and
Eastern had a 201.
Michael MacKnight led
the Wahama team with a
fine 38 for the day. Michael
was four over par after four
holes, but played the final
five holes in one under par.
Michael’s score also gave
him medalist honors for
the match.
Nathan Redman who
had struggled the last few
holes of recent matches
also came on strong finishing the last three holes
one under par for a total
score of 44. Both Mason

Hicks and Benjamin Foreman made par on three of
the last four holes Mason’s
final total was a 48.
Michael
Hendricks
played somewhat consistent golf throughout the
match to finish with a 47
to give the White Falcons
their final total. The scores
shot by Foreman and freshman Bekah Groves were
not part of the final total.
Ethan Swain from South
Gallia shot his second 39
of the week to continue his
fine play of recent matches.
Gus Slone carded a 43
which gave South Gallia
the lead after the first two
scores were added.
In fact, after the first four
cards were counted, South
Gallia still held the lead
by two strokes. Wahama’s
fifth score was lower than
a previous score so it became part of the final four
scores, providing Wahama
the winning margin.
Chris Brumfield shot a
50 and Cuyler Mils added
a 51 to give South Gallia
its final tally. Tristin Davis
and Caltlyn Vasscoy scores
were not included in the final count.
David Warner led the
Eastern team with a score
of 42. The next three scores
that counted for Eastern
were a trio of 53s contributed by Josh Parker, Jack
Kuhn and Zack Connolly.
Tyler Hensley and Dustin
Frost also played for Eastern with their scores not
included in the final count.

McARTHUR, Ohio — The skid
continues.
The Lady Marauders dropped
their seventh straight match Tuesday night, falling to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division host Vinton
County in straight sets.
The Lady Vikings (1-6, 1-1 TVC
Ohio) took the opening set by a
count of 25-15 over the Lady Ma-

rauders (1-7, 0-2). In a close second
set VCHS edged out Meigs 26-24.
Vinton County secured its first win
of the season with a 25-17 triumph in
the third set.
Brook Andrus led Meigs with six
kills in the game, followed by Olivia
Cremeans with five. Hannah Cremeans added three kills, while Devyn
Oliver rounded out the MHS net attack with one kill. Lindsay Patterson
led Meigs with six assists, followed
by Oliver with five. Olivia Cremeans

finished with a team-high three serving aces, while Patterson had two
and Aly Detwiller had one.
The Maroon and Gold defense was
led by Oliver with six digs, and the
duo of Hannah Cremeans and Olivia
Cremeans with two blocks apiece.
Andrus and Ariel Ellis each finished
with one block each.
Meigs will look to avenge this loss
on October 1st, when the Lady Vikings visit Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium in Rocksprings.

AFC North has dismal opening week
CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals
coach Marvin Lewis watched a little
video of Pittsburgh’s season-opening
disaster and felt a kinship with the
failure.
“I just watched the first half of
their game and I’m sure they feel the
same way we do,” Lewis said.
Not just them. They’re all feeling
the blues this week in the AFC North.
All four teams in the NFL’s most
successful division over the last five
years have started the season at 0-1.
It’s only the second time that’s happened, according to STATS LLC.
The other time? Way back in 2002,
when the league went to the current
division format.
And it’s not just that all four lost,
it’s how they lost:
—The defending Super Bowlchampion Baltimore Ravens went
back to Denver, the scene of their improbable playoff comeback last season, and had their revamped defense
get taken apart for a record-seven
touchdown passes by Peyton Manning in a 49-27 rout.
—Over in Pittsburgh, the towelwaving crowd at Heinz Field put
those towels away and filed out quietly near the end of a shocking 16-9
loss to the Titans that was in most
ways the worst of the division’s opening flops.
—In Cleveland, the Browns did
their annual looking-a-little-better
tease before falling apart and losing
to the Dolphins 23-10, dropping their
ninth straight opener and their 14th
in the last 15 years.
—Lewis’ team actually looked the
best of the bunch before bungling
one away in Chicago, 24-21, with
personal fouls, wasted timeouts and
turnovers.
None of them looked like a playoff-

caliber team for very long.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do,”
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.
“Nobody cares about our problems.
They’re glad we’ve got them. We
need to understand that. We need to
stick together and persevere.”
The Steelers might have the toughest go of it. They missed out on the
playoffs last season by finishing 8-8,
unable to run the ball consistently
or protect quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. They drafted Le’Veon Bell to
boost the running game, but he got
hurt during camp. Pittsburgh ran for
only 32 yards in the opener and Roethlisberger was sacked five times.
Worse, Pro Bowl center Maurkice
Pouncey tore ligaments in his right
knee and linebacker Larry Foote ruptured his right biceps, ending their
seasons.
Up next: a Monday night game in
Cincinnati against the Bengals and
former Steelers linebacker James
Harrison. Pittsburgh hasn’t opened a
season 0-2 since 2002.
The Bengals looked good in the
first half at Chicago before reverting
to their old Bungles ways. The final
flub was linebacker Rey Mauaulga —
a team captain last season — throwing down a Bears defender after the
whistle for a penalty that allowed
Chicago to run out the clock.
And that wasn’t all of it. Twice, the
Bengals had to call a timeout because
they had the wrong number of players on the field on defense, leaving
them with no way to stop the clock
in the closing minutes.
At least everyone else lost.
“Yeah, it helps ease it a little bit,”
defensive end Carlos Dunlap said.
“But you can look at it the other way,
too, and say we could’ve been one
up.”

The Ravens opened the season on
Thursday night, so they’ve had a little
extra time to sort out their problems
on defense. On Sunday, they host the
Browns, who have a new coach in
Rob Chudzinski but played like they
were ready to hold up the bottom of
the division for yet another year.
“A lot of we call it SINS — selfinflicted negatives,” receiver Davone
Bess said. “A lot of times when you’re
backed against the wall, you need to
be able to execute from assignment
and alignment standpoint. If you
don’t do that, you’re killing yourself
before the play even starts.”
There were plenty of SINS in a division with the league’s best playoff
pedigree.
In the last five years, no division
has sent more teams to the playoffs
than the AFC North — 11 overall.
It’s the only division that has sent
at least two each season, including
three in 2011.
A North team has reached the Super Bowl three times in the last five
years, winning two titles. The Ravens have reached the playoffs each
of the last five seasons; the Steelers
have reached the Super Bowl twice
during that span.
So, there’s that recent history to
fall back on after those dismal debuts.
“The great thing about it is — and
we all know this — it’s week-to-week
in this league,” Ravens coach John
Harbaugh said. “If we take care of
our business, we’re going to be in the
hunt and make it interesting. And if
we don’t, we’re not.
“I know that’s kind of a bad answer,
but it’s the truth. All of a sudden, we
find ourselves tied for first place. We
also find ourselves tied for last place.
That’s where we’re at.”

Browns rookie linebacker Mingo cleared to play
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Barkevious Mingo doesn’t have to wait any longer. He’s
recovered from a scary injury and cleared
to play.
Mingo, who was hospitalized with a
bruised lung he sustained in an Aug. 15
exhibition game, returned to full contact
in practice on Wednesday and is expected
to make his NFL debut this week against
the Baltimore Ravens.
The first-round draft pick missed Cleveland’s final two preseason games and last
week’s season-opening, 23-10 loss to the
Miami Dolphins.
But doctors have given him the OK to
return to the field, and he’s looking forward to it.

“I feel better knowing that I’m able to
play if I’m called upon,” Mingo said. “I feel
I bring a lot to this team, and the coaches
can use me in different ways. I think that’s
the best part about it. I’m ready to get it
done and just ready to play.”
The No. 6 overall pick in April’s draft
worked with the punt-coverage team and
took part in all of the contact drills with
Cleveland’s other linebackers. Last week,
he was restricted from hitting the blocking sled or tackling dummies.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said
Mingo’s role against the Ravens is still to
be determined.
“We’ll still be working him, and today
we’ll get him out there and see where

he’s at from a conditioning standpoint
and make an assessment as we go in the
week,” Chudzinski said before the Browns
practiced in oppressively steamy conditions.
The former LSU standout is listed as
a backup to starter Jabaal Sheard, but
Mingo is expected to be rotated into
Cleveland’s defense as an edge rusher.
The Browns’ front seven, despite missing
Mingo and starter Ahtyba Rubin, recorded four sacks and put decent pressure on
Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill before
tiring in the fourth quarter.
“I think we’ll get a pretty good rotation
with that group,” Chudzinski said. “They
all really have something to bring to the

table, and that’s a strength of ours.”
Mingo believes he was injured while
covering the opening kickoff against
Detroit, but doesn’t recall any significant contact. He experienced shortness
of breath and spit up some blood while
standing on the sideline.
Mingo isn’t concerned about taking another big hit, but said his mother, Barbara
Johnson, is nervous about his safety.
“She was worried. She still is,” Mingo
said. “She asks me every day how am I doing. I just have to let her know that I’m doing good, I feel good. The coaches and the
doctors both agree that I’m able to play.
I’m ready to play, so I think she’ll be OK.”

Field before the national
anthem at the Indians’
game against Kansas City.
Cleveland’s Jason Giambi was with Oakland when
the Athletics were in the
2001 playoffs against the
New York Yankees. He
recalled the atmosphere
at Yankee Stadium being
“unbelievable,” even more
electric than usual for the
postseason.
“It will always be a time
I’ll remember, going out
there playing against the
Yankees during that time,”
Giambi said. “It kind of
healed the nation, especially the city of New York,
which was hit so hard.
There they were, the Yankees playing in the playoffs, going all the way to
the World Series.”
Giambi signed with the
Yankees after that, and
spent seven seasons in
New York.
“Playing there all those
years, the kids, the fire-

fighters, the people who
lost their lives saving the
other lives, I’ll always remember that, very much
so,” Giambi said.
At Cincinnati’s Great
American Ball Park, where
the Reds hosted the Chicago Cubs, a steel beam
from the World Trade Center was on display courtesy
of the Cincinnati Fire Museum.
Before San Francisco
hosted Colorado at AT&amp;T
Park, first pitches were
thrown out by two San
Francisco
firefighters
who went to New York in
the days after Sept. 11 to
provide help and support.
Dean Crispen, captain
of Station 28, and Derek
O’Leary, driver of rescue
squad one from Station 1,
flew on the first commercial flight allowed to land
in New York.
Pettis and the White Sox
had arrived in New York 12
years ago around 2-3 a.m.,
and he was awoken by a
phone call from a friend

checking to make sure he
was OK.
“I said, ‘Yeah, I’m OK,
I’m asleep.’ He said, “you
don’t know, do you?” Pettis recalled. “I turn on the
TV and I see that the building — smoke’s coming out
of the building — and they
said there had been a plane
crash.”
Like so many others,
Pettis thought maybe it
was just a tragic accident
before the second plane hit
the other tower.
The White Sox were
staying in a hotel at Grand
Central Station, a little
more than three miles from
the World Trade Center
site. Pettis and the rest of
the staff worked to locate
everybody with the team,
and to get out of the building, with concerns about
more potential attacks.
“We were going down
the stairs and you hear
this rumble, and we’re going what the heck is that?”
Pettis said. “We just kind

of take off running out
the doors, and now we see
people running out of the
train station, and we had
no idea what they were
running from.”
Pettis can’t believe it’s
been 12 years. Before going to the ballpark on
Wednesday morning, he
turned on his TV knowing
what he was going to see.
“It took me a minute
to get up and get my day
going because I started
watching some of the stories and listening to some
of the people talk about
being there, and then seeing some of the messages
that were left for families,”
he said.
Pirates infielder Clint
Barmes remembers exactly
where he was and what he
was doing 12 years ago. He
was only 22 years old in his
second season of pro ball,
and on the way home after
winning the championship
with high-A Salem the
night before.

Reds power
past Cubs
CINCINNATI (AP) — Devin Mesoraco hit his
first home run in more than a month and Jack Hannahan added his first career pinch-hit homer as the
Cincinnati Reds avoided a sweep by the last-place
Chicago Cubs with a 6-0 win on Wednesday.
Mesoraco, hitless in his previous 13 at bats, had
three to lead the Reds to their seventh win on a 10game home stand. It included a 3-1 record against
St. Louis and three-game sweep of NL West Division-leading Los Angeles.
Cincinnati entered the game in third place in the
Central, three games behind the division-leading
Cardinals and two behind Pittsburgh.
After winning the first two games of the threegame series, the Cubs were in position for their first
sweep of the Reds in Cincinnati since May 2001.
Mike Leake (13-6) threw 107 pitches in 5 2-3
innings en route to a career high in wins, despite
humid conditions and an 84-degree temperature at
game time.
Leake allowed four hits and four walks with six
strikeouts. He joined relievers J.J. Hoover, Alfredo
Simon, Manny Parra and Sam LeCure to produce
Cincinnati’s 16th shutout of the season, four more
than last season.
Chicago has been shut out 13 times, three fewer
than last season.
The Reds used small ball in the second for a 2-0
lead. Jay Bruce led off with a single and went to
third on Todd Frazier’s softly lined single down the
left field line. Both players scored on RBI groundouts to second by Xavier Paul and Zack Cozart, who
went 0-for-4 and ended his career-high hitting streak
at 15 games.
Mesoraco added his ninth homer in the fourth, a
one-out solo shot off a pitch by Jeff Samardzija that
sailed 429 feet into the first row of the second deck
in left field. The homer was Mesoraco’s first in 25
games since he hit two against St. Louis on Aug. 3.
The Reds broke it open in the sixth on Hannahan’s
402-foot, three-run homer into the right field seats
off of Samardzija, Hannahan’s first since last July 20
for Cleveland against Baltimore.
Samardzija (8-12) gave up eight hits, six runs and
three walks with five strikeouts. He also threw a
wild pitch.

Cal seeks more big-play runs from Bigelow
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Brendan Bigelow spun around Ohio State
defenders, kept his balance with his
hand on the ground and sprinted for
an 81-yard touchdown.
The talented California running
back wasn’t done a year ago in Columbus, adding a 59-yard score as
part of a jaw-dropping, four-carryfor-160-yard afternoon that stamped
his arrival on the college football
landscape.
“He had incredible speed when he
got in the open field and just made
us look silly as far as missed tackles
thanks to his effort,” coach Urban
Meyer said.
The fourth-ranked Buckeyes (20) have watched those plays over
and over leading up to the rematch
against the Golden Bears (1-1) on
Saturday in Berkeley in hopes of

eliminating them in the future.
Cal is still waiting to see more
of that game-breaking ability from
Bigelow. Instead of vaulting him to
bigger things, that performance has
been a teasing flash of unrealized talent.
“I’ve seen the plays he had last
year,” first-year Cal coach Sonny
Dykes said. “We’re ready for him to
make some plays like that, some explosive plays. He hasn’t had a chance
to do that so far up to this point. We
need for him to do it. There’s a lot of
people that are involved in that.”
Dykes said the Bears need better
blocking on the inside and perimeter
and for Bigelow to run tougher and
be more decisive to get more of those
runs this year.
Getting the running game going is
a priority in order to take some pres-

sure off freshman quarterback Jared
Goff, who has thrown 115 passes the
first two weeks.
Bigelow was little-used by Cal last
season despite that big performance
as he struggled to grasp former
coach Jeff Tedford’s intricate offense.
He carried the ball just 38 times in
the final nine games as he struggled
even to get on the field.
A simpler, spread approach from
Dykes was supposed to get Bigelow
more involved in the offense but that
hasn’t translated yet into big performances like he had at Ohio State a
year ago.
“It was a similar offensive style
than what I had in high school,” Bigelow said.
“It really fits nice with how I run
and what I can do. It fits everything
that I do. It works out.”

WVU LB Rigg recalls hit that knocked him out
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) —
West Virginia linebacker Doug Rigg
can laugh now, joking that a jarring
hit from teammate Karl Joseph in
a game at Oklahoma left him a few
inches shorter.
Last week’s helmet-to-helmet collision knocked Rigg unconscious, and
the concussion he suffered will keep
him on the sidelines when the Mountaineers (1-1) play Georgia State (02) on Saturday.
The senior was injured during the
fourth quarter of last week’s 16-7 loss
to the Sooners. Rigg was taken off
the field on a cart and went to a hospital but rejoined his teammates for
the flight back to Morgantown.
Rigg said he remembers trying to
tackle Sooners running back Brennan Clay. The next thing he knows,
West Virginia trainer Dave Kerns
is standing over him, telling him to
wake up.
“Honestly, when I got hit, everything just went black,” Rigg said.
“People told me I was out for like 30
seconds. It felt like I literally just got

hit and then somebody was talking to
me, so that’s all I can really remember.”
Coach Dana Holgorsen called
Rigg’s concussion “very, very minor”
and said the player was on the receiving end of something meant for Clay.
“It was a scary situation obviously,” Holgorsen said. “He was knocked
out cold. The running back kind of
saw Karl coming and ducked. And
Doug was right behind him. So Karl
ended up being the one that kind of
knocked him silly. Thankfully and
luckily, Doug’s doing just fine.”
As teammates gathered on one
knee nearby while Rigg was being
worked on, linebacker Darwin Cook
said his emotions got worse with every passing moment that Rigg didn’t
move.
“I started crying after the first
test,” Cook said. “He didn’t move,
then he moved his arm and I started
crying some more. And then they did
the third test on him — he (can’t)
feel his finger — and I just started

bawling. But when I found out he
was OK, it was so satisfying. It was
like we won the game when I found
out he was OK.”
Rigg said he later saw a “ridiculous” amount of messages on his cellphone from concerned friends and
loved ones. So rather reply to individual texts, he went on social media
to let people know he’d be fine.
“People (were) saying they’re not
going to bed until they hear from
me,” Rigg said.
Getting on the plane with the team
was a “crazy feeling” because a lot of
people, even himself, were worried
he might have to stay in the hospital
overnight, Rigg said.
“I show up on the plane and everybody just turned and looked over at
me,” he said. “They were happy to
see that I could travel back.”
No one was happier than Joseph.
“It was definitely a relief because
we thought he was going to stay
overnight,” Joseph said. “We’re just
hoping to get him back on the field
as soon as he can.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Sept. 12, 2013:
This year you seem to flow like
a wave over any obstacles in your
life path. Your ability to avoid having
many impediments in general could
be a source of envy for others. If you
are single, the determining factor
won’t be others’ physical desirability,
but rather who you would choose for
a good time and a deep, meaningful
friendship. Perhaps you will be able
to have it all. If you are attached, you
might integrate more “couple time”
into your lives. SAGITTARIUS is very
different from you.
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)
++++ Pressure builds, and you
could be overwhelmed. Follow your
instincts with someone at a distance.
You might be slowed down by a
situation that demands a different
approach. You will find it — just think
outside the box. Tonight: Treat yourself to a ticket to an upcoming event.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
++++ Your mind needs to focus
on a creative project, whether you
choose to stay at your desk or at
home. Otherwise, your need to wander off with a close loved one will take
a higher priority. Make that OK, as
you don’t often respond to impulsiveness. Tonight: Togetherness is the
theme.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
+++ Interactions with a partner
will focus on your priorities. Learn
from these exchanges, as they could
teach you how to be more effective in
integrating the different facets of your
life. Make a point of avoiding blackand-white thinking. Tonight: Catch up
on emails, phone calls, etc.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
+++ Say what you need to say,
but don’t carry around a grievance
about someone or his or her actions.
Let it go; otherwise, a problem might
develop. Communication might be
cold and unemotional, yet it’s effective with others who are aware of the
situation. Tonight: Hang out with your
best friend.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
+++++ When you decide to kick
back and have a good time, several
responses will come forward from
your friends who have the ability to let
go. Those who hang back might have
prior obligations. Be nice to them, as
they probably are envious! Tonight:
The party goes on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
+++ You would like to be as free
as a bird and have everyone else follow you. Unfortunately, a domestic
situation might stand in your way.
Deal with this personal matter directly,
but try not to tear down an emotional
foundation. Tonight: Make a to-do list
for tomorrow.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
++++ You have a choice of
whether to hold yourself back or
reveal more of what you keep hidden. Very few people are comfortable
expressing their vulnerabilities, but it
might be important for you to do so
at this juncture. Tonight: Continue a
conversation over a long dinner.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
++++ You can be driven, and
at times even obsessive. Your focus
today appears to be on a money
matter, which could involve changing
banks, evaluating a risk or following
your intuition. Evaluate the risks seriously. Tonight: If your intuitive side
tells you to buy ice cream, do so!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
+++++ The Moon in your sign
is akin to you playing a trumpet and
announcing your arrival. You can’t
avoid being noticed today! Someone
who has clout in your life easily could
become resentful and cause a hassle.
Try to be more subtle around this person. Tonight: With friends.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
+++ You might be in a position
where you need to back away and
be more of an observer. Know that
by tomorrow morning, you no longer
will need to hold back. Don’t forget
to check in with an expert, as travel
in the near future becomes possible.
Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
+++++ Friends always surround
you, but right now there seems to be
more of them. The issue will be trying
to juggle a private matter while still
wanting to be carefree and available
at the same time. Don’t worry — you
will figure it out. Tonight: Be where
the action is.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
++++ Understand that others
see you as a stronger force and
leader than you might believe yourself to be. Perhaps that perception is
partly responsible for so many calls,
requests and your ongoing popularity.
Say “yes” to an invitation. Tonight: A
quiet chat with a loved one.
Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet

man had a big day on Monday. Not

only did NASCAR announce penalties
that placed him in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup, but the current pilot of the
No. 39 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevy
was announced as Richard Childress
Racing’s new hire. Newman will take
over the seat of the No. 31 RCR Chevy
in 2014. RCR recently announced that
Jeff Burton would not return to the
team next season.

2 RUMOR
Miller reported on Sept. 6, that Joe

Gibbs Racing has had talks with 2013
Indianapolis 500 champion Tony
Kanaan about a possible ride in one of
its Nationwide Series Toyotas in 2014.
Kanaan met with JGR officials in Charlotte last week but a team spokesman
said via e-mail to the NASCAR Wire
Service that, “There is no deal. Just
had an initial meeting. Nothing even
being formally discussed.”

Clint Bowyer brings out the caution — and the controversy — with this spin in the closing laps at Richmond International Raceway.

SERIES IS THIS, ANYWAY?
3 WHOSE
Brad Keselowski won Friday’s Nationwide Series Virginia 529 College Savings 250 in Richmond. NNS regular
Brian Scott dominated the event,
leading the first 239 laps. Keselowski
took the lead with 11 circuits remaining, though, and scored the 19th win
by a Cup Series regular on the NNS
circuit in 25 races this season.

A RUN James Buescher
4 MAKING
scored his second Camping World

Truck Series win in the last four
races with a victory on Sunday in
the Fan Appreciation 200 at Iowa
Speedway. The defending series
champion has jumped from fourth to
second in the series point standings
in that time, and now trails leader
Matt Crafton by 37 markers.

Throttle Up/Throttle Down

RICKY STENHOUSE JR. It took 26 races,
but Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finally scored his
first Sprint Cup top 10 with a 10thplace run in Richmond. To his
credit, the rookie has zero DNFs
this season.
MICHAEL WALTRIP RACING
The three-car teams’ tactics at
the conclusion of the Richmond
race damaged not only the team’s
credibility, but the credibility of the
sport as a whole. Some believe NASCAR’s
penalties were not severe enough.

NASCAR hands down penalties to Michael Waltrip Racing, altering Chase field
By MATT TALIAFERRO
Athlon Sports Racing Editor

The events from a controversial
final 10 laps in NASCAR’s 26race regular-season finale at Richmond International Raceway led
to unprecedented steps by the
sanctioning body on Monday,
when NASCAR announced penalties that altered its Chase for the
Championship playoff field.
Martin Truex Jr., intially in the
Chase as a wild card entry, is out.
In his place sits Ryan Newman,
following 50-point penalties issued
by NASCAR to all three Michael
Waltrip Racing teams for manipulating the outcome of the race.
The events in question began
after Newman completed a sizzling late-race run to the lead. A
win for Newman would have
bumped Penske Racing’s Joey
Logano — and his one win —
from the top 10 in points and ensured the former’s inclusion to the
Chase, while the latter held the advantage in the wild card standings
over Truex.
However, with eight laps remaining, Truex’s MWR teammate,
Clint Bowyer, was informed Newman was going to win the race.
One lap later, he spun by himself
off of Turn 4, bringing out a caution. The leaders, including Newman, Carl Edwards, Paul Menard
and Kurt Busch, hit pit road for
fresh tires and when they emerged,
Newman found himself shuffled to
fifth in the running order.
When the race restarted with
three laps remaining, Bowyer and
fellow MWR teammate Brian
Vickers were called back into the
pits, thus falling behind Logano in
the running order, moving the
Penske pilot back into 10th place
in the standings and handing the
wild card to Truex. The duo then
turned laps well off the pace over

the final two laps, ensuring
Logano remained ahead on-track.
When the dust settled, Newman
was flagged the third-place finisher behind Edwards and Busch.
Logano’s 22nd-place finish ensured a one-point advantage in the
standings over Jeff Gordon, who
finished eighth.
Truex was awarded the second
wild card entry by virtue of a
tiebreaker over Newman.

* Wild Card Recipients

However, after reviewing the
events of the evening — and amid
public outcry — NASCAR
amended the results when it
handed down penalties on Monday evening.
The 50-point reductions assessed to each MWR team
knocked Truex to 17th in points,
handing the wild card back to
Ryan Newman (now 12th in
points). Despite Bowyer’s penalty,
he still qualified for the Chase.
Additional penalties to the

MWR organization included a
$300,000 fine, the loss of 50
owner’s points to each team and
the indefinite suspensions of general manager Ty Norris.
Additionally, the three crew chiefs
— Brian Pattie (No. 15), Scott
Miller (No. 55) and Chad Johnston
(No. 56) — were placed on
NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.
“Based upon our review of Saturday night’s race at Richmond, it
is our determination that the MWR
organization attempted to manipulate the outcome of the race,” said
Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s
vice president of competition.
“As the sport’s sanctioning body,
it is our responsibility to ensure
there is a fair and level playing
field for all of our competitors and
this action today reflects our commitment to that.”
While Bowyer admitted to calling to apologize to Newman on
Monday, he skirted the issue in an
interview with ESPN on Tuesday.
“Let’s not dig too much into
this,” Bowyer said when asked if
his apology referred to the spin.
“I’ve dealt with a lot of opinions
and a lot of things that happened. I
gave my interview after the race as
to what happened. We’ve been penalized with the biggest penalty in
NASCAR history and we’re going
to get through this as a race team.”
In a statement released Monday
evening, Newman said, “I am
proud that NASCAR took a stand
with respect to what went on Saturday night at Richmond. I know
it was a tough decision to make.
With that being said, myself,
Matt Borland (crew chief) and
this entire No. 39 team are looking forward to competing for the
2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.”
MWR co-owner Michael Waltrip stated that he does not plan to
appeal the penalties.

No-call on restart hands win to Edwards
By MATT TALIAFERRO
Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Lost in the barrage of attention
garnered by the penalties assessed to
Michael Waltrip Racing was Carl
Edwards’ victory in the Federated
Auto Parts 400 and his apparent
jumping of the final restart that
NASCAR turned a blind eye to.
Edwards lined up second, on the
outside of Paul Menard, with three
laps remaining but beat the No. 27
to the line by over a half-car length.
NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton warned
drivers to be vigilant on the restarts,
as a controversial one had occurred
in the Nationwide race one night

earlier. He went so far as to state in
the pre-race driver’s meeting that,
“There are balls and there are
strikes. Sometimes you dont like the
call; sometimes we dont even like
the call we have to make. I just want
to remind everybody: Do not put us
in that position where we have to
make the call.”
Despite Edwards clearly beating
Menard to the start-finish line, no
call was made by NASCAR in a situation that mirrored a restart at
Dover in June. In that race, Jimmie
Johnson was penalized for jumping
a late-race start, costing him a win.
When asked post-race about the
restart, Edwards said the difference
between two and four tires dictated
the situation.

“Paul had two tires. I knew he was
going to be at a big advantage with
grip,” Edwards explained. “He took
off (and) I waited until he went to
go. As we were going, his car actually touched my door. I think it surprised him a little bit or something.
He turned a little bit. I heard his engine speed up. He spun the tires.
“At that point, I really have a
choice to either lift off the throttle
and wait for him to try to gather it
up — I’ve never seen a guy able to
gather is up too quickly when they
spin that bad — or go and hope
NASCAR understands that he spun
his tires. In this case they did, they
understand he came up and hit me
and spun his tires.”

Crew Chief’s Take: “Chicagoland is a
tough track in part because we only go
there once a year. The track takes rubber
throughout the weekend, and the conditions change all weekend long, and we
have to stay on top of it. We can learn a
lot from the Nationwide and Truck series
when they’re there with us. The car is very
sensitive to the track conditions as they
change during the weekend, so keeping
on top of it and hopefully making the right
decisions will put you in a position to win.
But it’s a cookie-cutter track, so it can be
a repetitive experience.”

Athlon Fantasy Stall
Looking at Checkers: Jimmie Johnson
has yet to score a win in Joliet, but he has
nine top 10s in 11 starts (six top 5s). And,
oh, yeah, it’s Chase time.
Pretty Solid Pick: Clint Bowyer needs to
put the events of Richmond behind him,
and his six top 10s in seven Chicagoland
starts bode well for that happening.
Good Sleeper Pick: Brian Vickers, who
has averaged a 9.5-place finish in six Cup
starts at Chicagoland.
Runs on Seven Cylinders: Surprisingly,
Greg Biffle, with a single top-10 showing
(fourth, 2008) in 10 starts.
Insider Tip: The powerhouse teams will
key on the big intermediates in the Chase,
beginning with this race. Keep a close eye
on the Hendrick, Roush and Gibbs camps.
