Vintage cars highlight Heritage Festival By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel CHESTER — What do a Car Show and a Heritage Festival have in common? Visitors to the Meigs Heritage Festival were delighted to ﬁnd out at last Saturday’s event. The Chester Shade Heritage Festival Vintage Car Show redeﬁnes what a car show can be by inviting, and more importantly, promoting nostalgia. Memories are part of our heritage and can link us in unlikely ways at a car show. For many, the automobile tells the story of their experiences. A car or truck will remind them of the one their parents owned, or their ﬁrst car, or learning to drive. It can spur a memory of driving down the road on a sunny day listening to your favorite song, rushing to the hospital for the birth of your child, or being dropped off on your ﬁrst day of school. The show also highlights a shared passion for the automobile. Whether you are an INDEX Obituaries: 2 Weather: 3 Editorial: 4 News: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 owner or an attendee, the automobiles on display generate an appreciation for the work involved at restoring and maintaining a classic car. The cars have become an integral part of the Festival, and this year featured a diverse group of 43 cars and trucks. Tim Jones of Middleport volunteered as DJ and created an enjoyable musical atmosphere for viewing. Long time car show judge Rick Chapell from the Chester area also volunteered his time and experience to the show. The entries were judged on three criteria: engine, interior, and exterior. Jones announced the winners as show organizer Linda Blosser handed out the trophies to the following: Best of Show: Dave and Terry Shain, 1971 White Chevy Pickup; Top 1999 or newer: Bob Jordan, 2010 Ford Mustang; Runner up 1999 or newer: Rex Roy, 1999 Chevy Camaro SS Convertible.

POMEROY — The Meigs County Community Prevention Coalition discussed plans for a drug prevention day at the Meigs County Fair during their meeting on Wednesday. The coalition is scheduled to teach children about drug prevention on Wednesday, Aug. 14, during “kids day” at the Meigs County Fair.

See NIGHT | 5 MIDDLEPORT — Following a conversation with the contractor currently working on Phase 2 of the sewer project in the village of Middleport, Mayor Sandy Iannarelli said paving work is expected to take place by mid- to late- September. As discussed at council, Phase 2 is approximately 40 percent complete. Village Administrator Joe Woodall told council on Monday that he would ask the contractor about the possibility of paving the completed portion once 50 percent of the project is completed, rather than waiting until the entire project is done. Iannarelli explained that she and Woodall spoke with the contractor and others on Wednesday morning about the possibility and that they agreed to paving once 50 percent is completed. She estimated that would be in mid-September. The mayor added that crews were taking measurements of a portion of the roadway on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for the work. Iannarelli noted that it is important to get the paving done sooner, rather than later, as some of the roadways impacted are the main routes through town. �DEATH NOTICE/NEWS 2 Thursday, July 25, 2019 DEATH NOTICE REES GALLIPOLIS — Betty M.

In some counties, mostly in Appalachia, it was well over 100 days. An Associated Press analysis of drug distribution data released as a result of lawsuits against the industry also found that the amount of opioids as measured by total potency continued to rise early this decade even as the number of pills distributed began to dip. The reason: Doctors were prescribing — and the industry was supplying — stronger pills. “It shows it wasn’t just the number of pills being shipped that increased.

The number of pills rose signiﬁcantly over that period, too — but that increase was lower, about 44%. (The amount of medication was calculated using a standard measure of potency known as a morphine milligram equivalent, or MME.) In 2006 and 2007, the counties at the very top of the list of those receiving the most opioids were scattered about the eastern half of the U.S. By 2012, they were all in the Appalachian region. And the numbers were up dramatically. For instance, in 2006, Tennessee’s Hamblen County received the most opioid medication per person in the country — about 70 days’ worth of a typical prescription for every man, woman and child. By 2012, the top county was Norton, Virginia, and the number of days’ worth of opioids was a staggering 134. In calculating days of medication, the AP used 50 MMEs as a daily dosage.

Not for Republicans and not for Democrats. In back-to-back hearings before the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee, the former special counsel in the investigation of Russian interference into the 2016 presidential elections largely honored his pledge to stick to his 448-page report . He often answered questions in a single word. Republicans tried to get Mueller to spell out the findings that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove any criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Democrats pressed him to expand on the conclusion in his report that he could not exonerate President Donald Trump on possible charges of obstruction of justice. But Mueller left both sides wanting. Some key takeaways from his testimony: MUELLER WOULDN’T BE A MOUTHPIECE: Mueller wouldn’t even read from his own report. That made it challenging for Democrats who called him in hopes that the sheer force of hearing him say the words on television would be more powerful to many Americans than the written form. But Mueller demurred, and Democrats had to read his words for him. Similarly, Mueller wouldn’t answer specifically when Republicans repeatedly tried to question him about the origins of the Russia investigation, the use of secret surveillance warrants. Mueller would only speak generally about Peter Strozk, a former FBI agent on his team who helped lead the investigation and exchanged anti-Trump text messages during the 2016 election with ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Mueller left it to the partisans to do the parsing. RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IS STILL HAPPENING: Mueller was, for him anyway, far more expansive when he was asked about Russia’s interference in U.S. elections. He also condemned Trump’s praise of WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group that released material stolen from Democratic groups, including Hillary Clinton’s campaign. “Problematic is an understatement,” he said. U.S. intelligence agencies and Mueller’s investigation determined Russian government entities were responsible for the hack and furnished the embarrassing correspondence to WikiLeaks in order to support Trump’s bid for the presidency. Authorities also found Russia engaged in an organized social media effort to sow discord among American voters. Mueller warned that what Russia did in 2016 was not a “single attempt.” “They’re doing it as we sit here,” he told lawmakers. Associated Press WASHINGTON — Robert Mueller, the taciturn lawman at the center of a polarizing American drama, bluntly dismissed President Donald Trump’s claims of “total exoneration” Wednesday in the federal probe of Russia’s 2016 election interference. In a long day of congressional testimony, Mueller warned that Moscow’s actions represented — and still represent — a great threat to American democracy. Mueller’s back-to-back Capitol Hill appearances, his ﬁrst since wrapping his two-year Russia probe, carried the prospect of a historic climax to a rare criminal investigation into a sitting American president. But his testimony was more likely to reinforce rather than reshape hardened public opinions on impeachment and the future of Trump’s presidency . With his terse, oneword answers, and a sometimes stilted and halting manner, Mueller made clear his desire to avoid the partisan fray and the deep political divisions roiling Congress and the country. He delivered neither crisp TV sound bites to fuel a Democratic impeachment push nor comfort to Republicans striving to undermine his investigation’s credibility. But his comments grew more animated by the afternoon, when he sounded the alarm on future Russian election interference. He said Andrew Harnik | AP Former special counsel Robert Mueller, accompanied by his top aide in the investigation Aaron Zebley, right, are sworn in before testifying before the House Intelligence Committee hearing on his report on Russian election interference on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday.

The prosecutor who endured nearly seven hours of hearings was a less forceful public presence than the man who steered the FBI through the Sept. 11 attacks and the 12 years after that. But Mueller, 74, was nonetheless skilled enough in the ways of Washington to avoid being goaded into leading questions he didn’t want to answer. Mueller frequently gave single-word answers to questions, even when given opportunities to crystallize allegations of obstruction of justice against the president. He referred time and again to the wording in his report.

Trump’s GOP allies tried to cast the former special counsel and his prosecutors as politically motivated. They referred repeatedly to what they consider the improper opening of the investigation. Democrats, meanwhile, sought to emphasize the most incendiary ﬁndings of Mueller’s 448-page report and weaken Trump’s reelection prospects in ways Mueller’s book-length report did not. They hoped that even if his testimony did not inspire he feared a new normal of American campaigns accepting foreign help. He condemned Trump’s praise of WikiLeaks, which released Democratic emails stolen by Russia. And he said of the interference by Russians and others: “They are doing it as we sit here.

July seems to be an appropriate month to write about what we in education call “the summer slide.” This term refers to the widely held perception that during the summer students lose a rather substantial amount of the knowledge they accumulated throughout the school year. While this phenomenon refers to loss of skills in both reading and math, this article will focus on reading, since it garners the most attention Tom and is the area on which many sumDunn mer programs focus. Contributing Until recently, the “summer slide” columnist phenomenon has been repeated as if it is gospel, but a deeper dive into the research suggests that, as is the case virtually every time scientists attempt to quantify human behavior, nothing is ever as simple or universal as it seems. In fact, research today suggests the “slide” exists to varying degrees for some children and not at all for others. The ﬁrst point of contention for some researchers begins with the limited scope under which the term “summer slide” has been deﬁned. For example, Dr. Peter Gray, a renowned expert in child development, suggests that it is based on the erroneous assumption that the only learning that matters is what occurs in school and is measured by tests. He contends that the social, emotional, and life skills children learn outside the school environment, particularly while engaging in what he calls free play, are every bit, if not more important than the academic skills they acquire while sitting in a classroom. Research on the role soft skills such as leadership, attitude, interpersonal acumen, cooperation, problem solving, and decisiveness play in people’s success would seem to support Dr. Gray’s position. Despite their importance, and many others not named here, these kinds of skills have been inexplicably ignored during the last few decades of politically created school reform initiatives that we have been told will help children become successful. But, even if one is to accept the narrow deﬁnition of the “summer slide,” such a slide is by no means universal. In fact, as is often the case when studying student success, generally speaking, the degree to which reading test scores decrease, or if they lag at all during summer break, is impacted by the level of poverty in which children reside. In fact, students from higher socio-economic homes will often show growth in reading skills over the summer months while children from a lower income environment often show a decline. There are many theories as to why this occurs. One is that students from wealthier homes have more educational opportunities during the summer that cost money, such as summer camps or private tutoring opportunities, and they are more likely to take advantage of programs that don’t cost money, such as summer reading programs offered by community libraries, for example. Another theory even has its own name. The “faucet theory” suggests that students from all socio-economic levels have access to educational opportunities during the school year, but those opportunities tend to dry up more often for children who live in poverty once school is out, because their parents either don’t understand the importance of engaging their children in learning opportunities outside the school day and year, or they aren’t interested in doing so. In other words, for some children, the learning “faucet” shuts off when school is not in session, and they suffer the consequences. Still another theory is that parents who live in poverty are less likely to understand the role they play in their child’s education, so they don’t do things like read and talk to them the way children need them to if they are to develop their literacy and reading skills. Finally, generally speaking, parents who live in poverty have not attained the level of education parents who are more afﬂuent have attained, so they do not value education in the same manner. They don’t emphasize the importance of learning as much as their kids need them to. Of course, nothing is universal. There are parents who live in poverty who value education, who take their children to the library, who enroll their children in free summer reading programs, and who consistently read to and communicate with them, and their kids ﬂourish. There are enough free summer reading programs available to kids thanks to generous people who donate books to families that no child needs to suffer from a “summer slide.” But, these programs are most effective in homes where parents understand the role they play in their children’s education and they actively engage with them. These parents use the books as tools to help their children improve their reading skills…and they do. Parents matter, and if we can get them all to buy into their role as their child’s most important educator, maybe the “summer slide” can return to being something kids play on at the park. THEIR VIEW Health tips from Dr. Oz Recently, I came across a small notebook of things I had written down to remember what Dr. Oz had said when he ﬁrst came on TV, quite a few years ago.

(The Andrea Doria capsized and sank the following morning.) In 1972, the notorious Tuskegee syphilis experiment came to light as The Associated Press reported that for the previous four decades, the U.S. Public Health Service, in conjunction with the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, had been allowing poor, rural black male patients with syphilis to go without treatment, even allowing them to die, as a way of studying the disease.

Dozens of sensors dotted around the 12thcentury monument have shown no indication that it’s deteriorating, but architect Philippe Villeneuve is worried. Villeneuve told reporters Wednesday the stone walls are still saturated with water sprayed by ﬁreﬁghters during the April 15 blaze. He says they could dry too fast amid the record temperatures expected in Paris this week. He said so far the masonry is stable but the structure remains fragile. He said “what I fear is that the joints or the masonry, as they dry, lose their cohesion ... and all of sudden, the vault gives way.” Specialists are working to stabilize the cathedral’s structure before reconstruction work begins. Fire misses nuke facilities BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The largest wildﬁre at the nation’s primary nuclear research facility in recent history had been burning close to buildings containing nuclear fuel and other radioactive material but a change in wind direction Wednesday was pushing the ﬂames into open range at the sprawling site in Idaho, ofﬁcials said. The lightning-caused ﬁre at the Idaho National Laboratory is one of several across the U.S. West. Before the wind shifted, the Idaho blaze got close to several lab facilities, including one where high-level radioactive materials are studied and another holding a nuclear reactor, spokeswoman Kerry Martin said. She said she didn’t know how close the ﬂames got to those buildings. The lab has several safety measures for wildﬁres that often ignite in southeastern Idaho’s desert rangeland, including clearing ground around each building and having several specially trained ﬁre crews stationed around the site that’s nearly the size of Rhode Island. “It’s not our ﬁrst rodeo,” Martin said. Anti-abortion laws on hold LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A federal judge blocked three new abortion restrictions in Arkansas minutes before they were set to take effect Wednesday, including a measure that opponents say would likely force the state’s only surgical abortion clinic to close. U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker granted a 14-day temporary restraining order shortly before midnight Tuesday. The 159-page ruling blocks the state from enforcing the new laws, including a measure prohibiting the procedure 18 weeks into pregnancy. The blocked laws also included a requirement that doctors performing abortions be board-certiﬁed or board-eligible in obstetrics and gynecology. An ofﬁcial with a Little Rock clinic that performs surgical abortions says it has one physician who meets that requirement, but he only works there a few days every other month. Baker found that if that surgical clinic closed, about 1,800 women a year — or 66% of those seeking to terminate a pregnancy in Arkansas — would be denied an abortion, based on evidence introduced into the court record. She also wrote that the restriction “provides no discernable medical beneﬁt” to women and questioned lawmakers’ intent in passing the law, known as Act 700. OHIO BRIEFS Man shot dead in library CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland police say a shooting in a branch of the city’s public library has left one man dead. A police release says a 19-year-old man was shot multiple times about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the South Brooklyn branch of the Cleveland Public Library. He was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries. Investigators say the 19-year-old apparently had gotten into an argument with the suspect, who then shot him several times. Police say the suspect then ﬂed the library on foot. Police didn’t immediately release the name of the man who was killed or identify the suspect. The investigation is continuing. Arson suspect gets psych test AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man accused of setting two ﬁres that killed nine people will be sent to a psychiatric hospital for further evaluation of his competency. Summit County prosecutors say 60-year-old Stanley Ford set a 2016 ﬁre that killed two adults and one in 2017 that killed two adults and ﬁve children. Prosecutors allege Ford had a “beef” with neighbors The Akron Beacon Journal reports that a Summit County judge ordered the latest evaluation of Ford on Tuesday after a court psychologist’s evaluation was inconclusive. Ford has pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder. The Akron man could face the death penalty if convicted. The evaluation at Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare in Columbus has delayed Ford’s trial. Jury selection had been scheduled to start Aug. 6.

Collins had a gnawing concern: Gaming was beginning to have an impact on education, and at least anecdotally, the beneﬁts were going largely toward male students. Now, Collins is on the ground attempting to solve a puzzle that’s perplexed an industry approaching $1 billion revenues — where are all the female gamers? Collins helped a private school near Cleveland become the ﬁrst U.S. all-girls school to launch a varsity esports program during last school year. With Collins as coach, the 10-person team at Hathaway Brown competed against local schools and libraries, with players ranging from novices to avid gamers. The players reported many of the beneﬁts associated with traditional sports — bonding, teamwork and improved conﬁdence among them — and some say they might pursue college scholarships. Collins hopes the program can set an example for how high schools can attract more girl and gender minority gamers so they can take advantage of expanding opportunities at the university level. Collins has a background in game-based education and was the ﬁrst to broach the topic of esports at the Department of Education late in President Barack Obama’s ﬁnal term. Football became a go-to analogy — the sport has impacted high school and college education in major ways, with resources poured into aiding its almost exclusively male participants. Esports has already begun to spread in similar fashion. Over 100 colleges have varsity esports programs, and more are joining each year, with many smaller schools using teams as recruiting tools. That expansion could open doors for students of all genders, especially since video games don’t have the same physical barriers as most traditional sports. “There was an imperative for us to be involved with it from an early outset, so that we could ensure there was equity across implementations,” Collins said. Collins found that collegiate esports teams were struggling to ﬁnd non-male players. The same complaint kept coming up: Girls and women aren’t in esports because they don’t play video games. That didn’t jive with the data, which shows that 45% of gamers in the U.S. are female . “It got us thinking, maybe the problem isn’t that there aren’t girl gamers and gender minority gamers,” Collins said. “Maybe the problem is that they’re in different places than the esports teams are looking.” Collins suspects the trajectory for girls in gaming is similar to girls and gender minorities in STEM. Research shows many girls shy away from science, technology, engineering and math tracks around middle school due to “lack of role models, toxic culture and generally feeling like they don’t ﬁt in in that world,” Collins said. League of Legends, the world’s most popular esport, ﬁts a similar description. There are no women in its highest professional circuit, and its largely male player base has been criticized for its toxic reputation. After leaving the Department of Education to teach at Hathaway Brown last fall, Collins polled students, who reported enthusiastically playing games like Super Smash Bros., a ﬁghting game from Nintendo, and Just Dance, a motion-based dance game. Hardly any were interested in League of Legends. “That got me thinking that maybe it wasn’t just the structure of some of these things,” Collins said. “Maybe it was the game selection.” Collins helped organize a league comprised of 10 schools and libraries from varying backgrounds, including rural, urban, underserved and all-girls. In order to attract a wider selection of students, a panel selected three games for the ﬁrst year of the league. It settled on a sports game (Rocket League), a digital card game (Hearthstone), and a multiplayer online battle arena game (Heroes of the Storm) — not the games requested by female students, necessarily, but none with reputations similar to League of Legends, either. Ninth grader Claire Hofstra was among the most enthusiastic respondents, and Collins asked her to ﬁnd four other freshmen to ﬁll out a Heroes of the Storm squad. Even though the game is similar in playstyle to League of Legends — the kind of thing girls supposedly don’t like — the ninth graders enjoyed it so much they continued to get together and play, even when the season ended.

DETROIT (AP) — Jim McElwain was enjoying his life and career, working in relative obscurity as Jim Harbaugh’s receivers coach. The former Florida coach didn’t plan for his gig at Michigan to last less than a year. Central Michigan, though, offered McElwain another chance to lead a college football team and he took it. “This wasn’t something I was looking to do,” McElwain insisted Tuesday at the Mid-American Conference’s football media day. “I really like the vision and direction of the school.” Central Michigan won only one game last season under ﬁred coach John Bonamego, who led the program to bowl games the previous three years. McElwain was ﬁred late in the 2017 season at Florida with a 22-12 record over two-plus seasons. McElwain is one of four coaches making his MAC debut this season along with Thomas Hammock at Northern Illinois, Bowling Green’s Scot Loefﬂer and Tom Arth at Akron. Frank Solich, entering his 15th year at Ohio, is at the other end of the experience spectrum in the conference.

Since opening in 1963, the hall just keeps growing, with a now 135,000-square-foot building still not enough space to display all the jerseys, helmets, balls, gloves, Super Bowl rings and, of course, Hall of Fame busts. Collecting easy for hall, challenge is displaying CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Visitors to the Pro Football Hall of Fame can see both the football Drew Brees threw in becoming the NFL’s alltime passing yards leader and the uniform the Saints quarterback wore while making history. Hall of Fame ofﬁcials had been monitoring Brees’ chase of Peyton Manning’s record, hoping the quarterback would set the mark Oct. 8 at home in New Orleans. Brees did just that before halftime — with a touchdown no less — allowing the game to be stopped. Brees walked to the sideline and handed the ball to David Baker, the hall’s president and chief executive ofﬁcer. “It was perfect,” said Saleem Choudhry, vice president of exhibits and museum services. “He threw a 62-yard touchdown and eclipsed a record. We stopped the game. He comes over, shakes David’s hand, hands him the ball. It was a very unique moment. I just kick myself sometimes that I was right down there to observe that, but those are some great moments that occur … that you can plan for it.” Some NFL records, such as Tennessee running back Derrick Henry matching the longest touchdown run at 99 yards last December, mean a quick email to the team asking for an item to commemorate the moment. Henry and the Titans sent his No. 22 jersey, just one of approximately 50 signiﬁcant moments in the 2018 season marked by the hall. “The great part of a football uniform, there’s lots of pieces and parts,” Choudhry told The Associated Press. Displaying all those items is both the task and challenge of the Pro Football Hall of Fame , the museum for a game in which the NFL enters its 100th season this fall with both history and records made regularly. Since opening in 1963 in Canton, Ohio, the hall just keeps growing, with a now 135,000-square foot building still not enough space to display all the jerseys, helmets, balls, gloves, Super Bowl rings and, of course, Hall of Fame busts. “We have a massive exhibit area but have probably close to 97% of the information, documentation and artifacts that we preserve here not on display,” archivist Jon Kendle said. The Hall of Fame has more than 40 million pages of documents, including one showing the birth of pro football in 1892 in Pennsylvania with a $500 payment by a team called the Allegheny Athletic Association to play in a game against a big rival. It was found in a closet of the Pittsburgh Steelers. There are more than six million photos in a collection that keeps growing. As a museum, the hall’s mission includes preserving the history of pro football and the game’s big moments. And yes, ofﬁcials know exactly where every piece is, especially those in storage; everything is catalogued and accessible. “We constantly are plucking things in and out from our collection to feature in an exhibit if we’re developing something, or in a traveling exhibit, or as we continually refresh our exhibits in the hall itself,” Choudhry said. Preservation comes ﬁrst. An item such as a leather helmet that may be more than 75 years old might need to be stored in a box away from light and avoid being put on display for the 363 days the hall is open each year; it’s closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Or a jersey that’s been on display for a couple of years could need some time to simply rest on a shelf. “We’re fortunate enough that we have several Johnny Unitas jerseys, so we could just swap it out for another, or we showcase another player that we’d like to bring into the limelight,” Choudhry said. Approximately 250,000 visitors tour the hall annually, a group that includes rookies from the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles this year alone. Small groups can go behind the scenes touring the Ralph Wilson Jr. Pro Football Research and Preservation Center with an archivist. An additional 700,000 are expected to attend at least one of the events at this year’s enshrinement ceremonies, which feature a new locker exhibit with items from the inductees , such as two Super Bowl commemorative jackets owned by the late Broncos owner Pat Bowlen. Or Tony Gonzalez’s Kansas City Chiefs jersey worn Jan. 1, 2005, when he broke the NFL record for most catches in a season by a tight end. Gonzalez has been to the hall four times, including for the inductions of Warren Moon, Marcus Allen and Michael Strahan. The coolest place? The Hall of Fame gallery with all the busts where no music is piped in and voices stay low as if in a church. “When you walk in there and see all the busts with the stories underneath, that’s the goose bumps,” Gonzalez said. “That’s the ‘Oh my God, this is where it’s at.’ See HALL | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Dominant Clemson, Alabama sit atop college football throne Brown opposes 18-game schedule CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals owner Mike Brown thinks the NFL’s current 16-game schedule for the regular season is long enough, and he doubts that the league will be able to shorten the preseason and add games that count in the standings because of the players’ opposition. Brown said Tuesday that he strongly opposes a suggestion to have an 18-game regular season and allow teams to rest players for two of the games. He can’t envision playing the Steelers, for instance, with a healthy Ben Roethlisberger sitting out. “Well, that’s absurd,” Brown said. “I don’t want that.” Brown thinks that players’ safety concerns over adding games will likely keep the regular season in its current format. “These seasons are long and they take a toll on you mentally, they take a toll on players physically,” Brown said at the team’s annual media luncheon. “Maybe we should just step back and accept the 16 number and go with it.” Commissioner Roger By Aaron Beard Associated Press Clemson and Alabama have turned college football largely into a two-team show with blowouts wins, conference domination and national championships. The Tigers and Crimson Tide have split the last four national titles, matching the combined number of losses they’ve had against the rest of the country. They are making league races look like foregone conclusions before they even start, even if players and coaches in the Atlantic Coast and Southeastern conferences try to argue otherwise. “There may have been a time (like this) but I don’t remember it,” Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford said in an interview with The Associated Press during the league’s preseason media days. “The ﬁrst couple of years you didn’t think that much about it. But we’ve had four years where those two programs have in a sense separated themselves competitively on the ﬁeld. “You give them their due because it’s been a remarkable run for both programs that appears to not be softening.” Not much, anyway. Just about the only vulnerability they have shown has come against one another. Dabo Swinney’s Tigers are the reigning national champions after a blowout win against Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide, marking Clemson’s second title-game win against Alabama in three seasons. Alabama beat Clemson in a classic 2015 ﬁnal, then thumped the Tigers in the 2017 semiﬁnals on the way to another title. Along the way, both have gone 55-4 dating to the 2015 season, including 53-2 against the rest of college football. Georgia, which lost to Alabama to end the 2017 season and in last year’s SEC championship game, is the only other team to appear in a national ﬁnal amid the run. “I mean, those are realities of competition,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey told the AP. “And one should not assume it will always be that way or it’s going to stay in place, even though there are preseason projections. I get that. But every week is part of that determination. … It’s just a reality that’s played out. And there are reasons for that.” 1993 at Central Michigan.

Arth is moving up the coaching ladder after leading Chattanooga and John Carroll. He is succeeding Terry Bowden, who was ﬁred with a 35-52 record over seven seasons. “It means a lot to me to have an opportunity to bring my family to a special place that is just 30 minutes away from where I grew up,” said Arth, who is from Westlake, Ohio. “I understand how much success of the football team means to Akron and Northeast Ohio and I’m very motivated to help establish a successful program.” THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur 6:30 THURSDAY, JULY 25 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

The Cincinnati Bengals signed Boyd to a deal that runs through the 2023 season on Tuesday. The secondround pick out of Pittsburgh in 2016 was entering the ﬁnal year on his original deal. He had a breakout season in 2018, when A.J. Green was sidelined by a toe injury. Boyd led the team with 76 catches and 1,028 yards receiving, both career highs. He also tied for the team lead with seven touchdowns. “He’s a young, up-and-coming receiver in this league and he’s had great production over the years,” coach Zac Taylor said. The Bengals also are trying to work out a contract extension with Green, who is entering the ﬁnal season of a four-year, $60 million deal. Green has fully recovered from an injury to his right big toe that required surgery and sidelined him for half of last season. Green also missed six games in 2016 because of a hamstring injury. Green turns 31 on July 31, an age when some receivers begin to decline or have injury issues. Owner Mike Brown said the Bengals are interested in signing him to another extension because they think he can play at a Pro Bowl level for an extended time. “One thing I’ve learned is that great players have a tendency to keep on longer, they just have more in the tank,” Brown said. “And I think that applies to A.J. Yes, he’s going to be in his 30s and we can all count and we know that eventually things end, but I don’t think it’s now for him.” (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Daily Sentinel Former USC, Jets QB Sanchez retires from NFL and joins ESPN NEW YORK (AP) — Former USC star and New York Jets ﬁrst-round pick Mark Sanchez is retiring from the NFL and joining ESPN as a college football analyst.

The Dodgers unveiled the logo for next year’s Midsummer Classic along with their latest modernization plans Tuesday for their 57-year-old home, the majors’ third-oldest park. “We want to stay traditional with regard to baseball, but we also want to have up-to-date renovations for the next generation of fans,” said Stan Kasten, the Dodgers’ president and CEO. The primary addition will be a Centerﬁeld Plaza area spanning nearly 2 acres behind the outﬁeld fences, creating what Kasten described as a “front door” to the famously tough-to-access hillside park. The plaza will include food, entertainment and a statue of Sandy Koufax, which will join a statue of Jackie Robinson already on the property. The Dodgers also are constructing new elevators, escalators and bridges to allow easier movement around the park. Fans have traditionally relied on lengthy staircases to move between levels. The entire park will be connected by the bridges between the new pavilions and plaza, allowing fans to walk all the way around the ballpark on the same level for the ﬁrst time. Kasten also assured fans that the park’s iconic view of the San Gabriel Mountains beyond the outﬁeld fences won’t be affected in the slightest. While most of the renovations will be completed by opening day, the new statue of Koufax will be formally dedicated at some point during the season. “We’re going to take every minute we need to get it done, but it’s going to be done by opening from within while still attracting more than 3.3 million fans annually and enjoying steady success on the ﬁeld. Kasten is part of an ownership group that took control of the Dodgers in 2012. The owners say they have spent roughly $300 million on ballpark improvements in those seven ensuing years, updating and improving the stadium that welcomes more fans per year than any single sports venue in the world, according to the Dodgers.

Like at least a six other pending federal lawsuits , the case ﬁled Monday says school ofﬁcials knew about concerns but failed to stop Richard Strauss. The 30 plaintiffs include men from 12 sports and a non-athlete allegedly fondled by Strauss at the student health center. Ohio State publicly apologized after an investigation for the university found Strauss sexually abused at least 177 young men between 1979 and 1997. Related lawsuits are in mediation. Ohio State has argued the claims are time-barred by law, but a spokesman says it’s committed to the mediation process. Pac-12 to move football title game to Las Vegas in 2020 LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Pac-12 will move its football championship game to Las Vegas in 2020 and 2021. Commissioner Larry Scott announced the decision Wednesday at the start of Pac-12 media day in Hollywood. The league title game has been played at Levi’s Stadium in suburban Santa Clara, California, since 2014. The event has struggled for solid attendance in the past half-decade, including a noticeably empty sta- dium for Washington’s win over Utah last year. After the upcoming season, the game will move to party-friendly Las Vegas and the Raiders’ new stadium, which is still under construction just west of the Strip. 2 riders kicked out of Tour de France after altercation GAP, France (AP) — Two riders, including a teammate of defending Tour de France champion Geraint Thomas, have been kicked out of the race after they got into an altercation. Cycling governing body UCI and race organizers said on Wednesday that Thomas’ Ineos teammate Luke Rowe and Tony Martin, who rides in support of JumboVisma leader Steven Kruijswijk, were disqualiﬁed.
