OBITUARIES Page A5 • George B. Anderson WEATHER WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com County reports on roads and bridge work Funding and expenditures improvements and new bridge construction totaled $4,397,341. Total funding for last year from all sources, including a carry-over from 2009, was $4,939,930. This left a carry-over for the current year’s work of $542,589, which recently has included extensive slip repair. The work last year included not only extensive road work but replacement of the Wolfpen Road Bridge near the intersection with CR 18 Kingsbury Road. Another recent replacement was the 1950 Dexter Bridge, Triplett said. He noted in his annual report that he is responsible for 300 bridges which must all be inspected annually for condition and strength, and then given a general appraisal description for future consideration as to repair or replacement. Funding from the engineer’s budget is allocated ‘Kickin Bash’ to return next year Gallipolis, fifth place. River Rescue Demonstrations were also given by the Racine, Syracuse and Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Departments, which also assisted in monitoring the river races. Three boats were given awards in the Boater Light Parade and Roush also said the crowd enjoyed playing “Meigs County Trivia” with players receiving money for correct answers, as well as “Let’s Make a Deal” which resulted in cash and prizes for players. Roush said the Kickin’ Summer Bash is comprised of around 12 committee members and the event ended with a “little seed money” to help with next year’s bash.

Roush said despite the downpour on Saturday which cut the musical entertainment short, the event brought out a crowd which wanted to celebrate summer and all things Ohio River. The event featured a variety of contests and prize money put up by local businesses and sponsors from across Meigs County. “This event wouldn’t be possible without the support of our local business- es and sponsors from throughout Meigs County,” Roush reiterated. Event results are as follows: Kayak race - Jim Grueser, first place, Debbie Grueser, second place. Event organizers did not submit a name for the third place winner by press time. Jet ski race - Gary Freeman, first place, Tanner Hysell, second place. We Got Talent II (for kids) - Krista Clay of Mason, W.Va., first place; Cheyenne Terzopplous of Racine, second place; Justin Day of Cheshire, third place; Brenton Young of Pomeroy and Zachary Helton of Middleport, fourth place; Charles Holley of for road and bridge repair as well as construction as needed, culvert replacement, erosion control slip repairs, chip and seal road projects, as well as such things as mowing, ditching and snow removal. Local funding for the county highway department comes from portions of the gas tax along with vehicle license renewal fees. Last year a significant source of funding came from the Ohio Public Works Commission in the form of grants. “OPWC grants are the reason county highways have been turning into paved roads in the past 20 or so years,” said Triplett. He noted that last year two OPWC grants were received for projects in Meigs County, one for the resurfacing of Wolf Pen and Happy Hollow Roads, and the second for a joint See Roads, A5 See more photos on page A5 Face painting and even a few hours of free carnival rides were meant to keep the kids busy at this yearʼs Kickinʼ Summer Bash which will return to the Pomeroy levee in 2012. (Beth Sergent/photo) Head-on collision results in two fatalities BY HOPE ROUSH HROUSH@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM LETART, W.Va. — A head-on collision lead to two deaths Monday afternoon just days after one driver’s spouse was involved in a separate crash. According to the Mason County Detachment of the State Police, at approximately 3:07 p.m., Sr. Trooper A.D. Wootton was dispatched regarding a twovehicle crash. The accident took place on Sandhill Road in Letart. The crash occurred when Steven Jordan, of New Haven, crossed the center line on Sandhill. Jordan’s vehicle then struck another vehicle, driven by Floyd Knapp of Letart, head-on. According to the official accident report, from evidence found at the scene, as well as from eyewitness statements, it was determined that Knapp was traveling westbound on Sandhill in a pickup truck and that Jordan was travel- ing eastbound on Sandhill in an SUV. Jordan’s vehicle went left of center and into the westbound lane, where he struck Knapp. It was reported that speed was a factor in the accident. The witness stated that after the collision he saw Knapp’s truck catch on fire. The witness also stated that both he and a resident, who lives near the scene, attempted to pull Jordan’s SUV away from the truck to prevent both vehicles from catching fire. The two witnesses were able to successfully pull the SUV away from the truck; however, the fire had already spread to the vehicle. In addition, the witness said that he attempted to remove both drivers from the vehicles, but due to the extent of the damage, he did not have access to either driver. By the time emergency crews arrived, both vehicles were fully engulfed by flames. According to the accident report, Knapp appeared to not be wearing a seatbelt, and his truck was not equipped with airbags. Jordan appeared to be wearing his seatbelt during the time of the crash. Witness statements also indicate that the SUV’s front airbags deployed. No evidence was found indicating that either vehicle utilized brakes at the time of the crash.

(File photo) �The Daily Sentinel BY THE BEND A S K D R . B RO T H E R S Quiz topic: Whatʼs the matter with bragging? Bragging: It's something we all do on occasion, some more than others. There's a fine line between pointing out our strengths on a job interview and letting the personnel guy know that we are a boastful, conceited person who would make a very bad team player. Is there a good way to brag? This quiz explores the world of bragging. 1. Bragging is normal and appropriate behavior for preschoolers. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 2. Adults with good self-esteem keep their accomplishments to themselves. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 3. Name-dropping and one-upmanship are forms of bragging. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 4. Bragging can be very subtle, like always picking up the check in a restaurant. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 5. There is such a thing as group bragging. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 6. Bragging about others makes you seem more competent. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 7. Context is important when deciding whether to blame someone for bragging. TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) ANSWERS: 1. TRUE. When very young children brag about accomplishments, they are letting others know that they are powerful and can make things happen. A child who continually brags may need more unconditional love and attention at home. 2. FALSE. Although boasting is considered a vice by many major religions, and a less-thanpolite habit by most individuals, there is a fine line between boasting and sharing the pride of our accomplishments. Bragging becomes a vice when it is done as a competitive way of asserting power, or to try to make another feel inferior. 3. TRUE. Someone who is constantly referencing people he or she knows who are rich and famous usually wants to bask in the glow of their success just by bringing them up. And people who can't stand hearing of another's good fortune without detailing the time they won the lottery also are engaging in a game of outboasting the other. Both name-droppers and one-uppers are looked upon as unpleasant if they make it a habit. Page A2 Wednesday, June 22, 2011 Ready for ‘Rhythm’ Dr. Joyce Brothers 4. TRUE. Sometimes those who wouldn't think of bragging out loud find ways to brag that are silent but effective. They may not even know they are sending a psychological message, but the results can be obvious: The guy who never lets anyone else pick up the check is generous, but he's also letting others know that he is the most wealthy and powerful one in the group. He is likely to get away with this kind of bragging without being criticized for it. 5. TRUE. Researchers believe that some behavior in groups can be interpreted differently from how it appears. Trash-talking fans and attendees at political rallies actually may betray a low social status and some vulnerability to other groups. 6. FALSE. In psychology experiments, those who boast about themselves may be seen as manipulative, but in control and competent. Those who brag about others tend to be seen as less able and less worthy of respect, because listeners may suspect that they have few of their own accomplishments to recount. Those who brag about one another may have some indirect effects in which each party ends up looking good without needing to have boasted about themselves. 7. TRUE. When someone brings up a topic in order to brag about his or her accomplishments, it is likely to leave a very unfavorable impression on the listeners. But if someone else raises the question and the person answers in a boastful way, the person is less likely to be blamed. After all, someone asked how much you paid for the TV, so bragging about your bargain is fine! If you answered five of the seven questions correctly, go ahead and boast about it!

Obama is also weighing a timetable for bringing home the 20,000 other troops he ordered to Afghanistan as part of his December 2009 decision to send reinforcements to reverse the Taliban's battlefield momentum. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the plans before Obama's formal announcement. The White House said Obama would address the nation from the White House at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Ahead of that announcement, Obama called Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the White House Tuesday for an Afghanistan strategy session. Aides have said Obama wants to ensure that the drawdown set to begin next month puts the U.S. on a path toward giving Afghans control of their own security by 2014. Obama was given a range of options for the withdrawal last week by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan. The military favors a gradual reduction in troops but other advisers are advocating a significant decrease in the coming months. The president has said he favors a "significant" withdrawal, his advisers have not quantified that statement. At a democratic fundraiser in Washington Monday night, Obama said that by the end of the year, "we will be transitioning in Afghanistan to turn over more and more security to the Afghan people." Following the announcement on the drawdown, Obama will visit troops Thursday at Fort Drum, the upstate New York military base that is home to the 10th Mountain Division, one of the most frequently deployed divisions to Afghanistan and Iraq. While much of the attention is focused on how many troops will leave Afghanistan next month, the more telling aspects of Obama's decision center on what happens after July, particularly how long the president plans to keep the surge forces in the country. Military commanders want to keep as many of those forces in Afghanistan for as long as possible, arguing that too fast a withdrawal could undermine the fragile security gains in the fight against the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, the al-Qaida training ground for the Sept. 11 attacks. There are also concerns about pulling out a substantial number of U.S. forces as the heightened summer fighting season gets under way. Retiring Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said he believes the initial drawdown should be "modest." But other advisers backed a more significant withdrawal that starts in July and proceeds steadily through the following months. That camp believes the slow yet steady security gains in Afghanistan, combined with the death of Osama bin Laden and U.S. success in dismantling much of the al-Qaida network in the country, give the president an opportunity to make larger reductions this year. Gates, who is retiring from the Pentagon next week, has said Obama's decision needs to incorporate domestic concerns about the war in Afghanistan into his decision on drawing down American troops there. "It goes without saying that there are a lot of reservations in the Congress about the war in Afghanistan and our level of commitment. There are concerns among the American people who are tired of a decade of war," Gates said during a news conference at the State Department Tuesday. Twenty-seven senators, Democrats as well as Republicans, sent Obama a letter last week pressing for a shift in Afghanistan strategy and major troop cuts. "Given our successes, it is the right moment to initiate a sizable and sustained reduction in forces, with the goal of steadily redeploying all regular combat troops," the senators wrote. "The costs of prolonging the war far outweigh the benefits." Arizona Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, differed with that assessment. He told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday that he agreed with Gates in hoping the withdrawal would be "modest." "I believe that one more fighting season and we can get this thing pretty well wrapped up," McCain said. There is broad public support for starting to withdraw U.S. troops. According to an Associated Press-GfK poll last month, 80 percent of Americans say they approve of Obama's decision to begin withdrawal of combat troops in July and end U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan by 2014. Just 15 percent disapprove. Obama has tripled the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan since taking office, bringing the total there to about 100,000. The 30,000-troop surge he announced at the end of 2009 came with the condition that he would start bringing forces home in July 2011. The president took months to settle on the surge strategy. This time around, aides say the process is far less formal and Obama is far more knowledgeable about the situation in Afghanistan than he was in 2009, his first year in office. With the troop withdrawal set to begin next month, U.S. officials in Afghanistan said Tuesday they will shift their development priorities from quick-impact stability programs run by international agencies to infrastructure and economic growth projects that can be run by Afghans over the long term. FDA issues graphic cigarette labels RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Rotting teeth. Diseased lungs. A corpse of a smoker. Nine new warning labels that feature graphic images that convey the dangers of smoking will be required by the Food and Drug Administration to be on U.S. cigarette packs by 2012. Other images include a man with a tracheotomy smoking and a mother holding a baby with smoking swirling around them. The labels will include phrases like "Smoking can kill you" and "Cigarettes cause cancer." The labels, which the FDA released Tuesday, are a part of the most significant change to U.S. cigarette packs in 25 years. They're aimed at curbing tobacco use, which is responsible for about 443,000 deaths in the U.S. a year. The labels will take up the top half — both front and back — of a pack of cigarettes and each will include a national quit smoking hotline number. Warning labels also must appear in advertisements and constitute 20 percent of an ad. Cigarette makers have until the fall of 2012 to comply. labels are: a man with a tracheotomy smoking and a mother holding her baby with smoke swirling around them. "These kind of graphic warning labels strengthen the understanding of people about the health risks of smoking," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We clearly have to renew a national conversation around these issues and enhance awareness." Mandates to introduce new graphic warning labels were part of a law passed in 2009 that, for the first time, gave the federal government authority to regulate tobacco, including setting guidelines for marketing and labeling, banning certain products and limiting nicotine. The announcement follows reviews of scientific literature, public comments and results from an FDA-contracted study of 36 labels proposed last November. The legality of the new labels also is part of a pending federal lawsuit filed by Winston-Salem, N.C.based Reynolds American Inc., parent company of America's second-largest cigarette maker, R.J. Reynolds; No. 3 cigarette maker, Greensboro, N.C.based Lorillard Inc.; and others. Tobacco makers in the lawsuit have argued the warnings would relegate the companies' brands to the bottom half of the cigarette packaging, making them "difficult, if not impossible, to see." A spokesman for Richmond, Va.-based Altria Group Inc., parent company of the nation's largest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, said the company was looking at the final labels but would not comment further. In recent years, more than 30 countries or jurisdictions have introduced labels similar to those being introduced by the FDA. The U.S. first mandated the use of warning labels stating "Cigarettes may be hazardous to your health" in 1965. Current warning labels — a small box with black and white text — were put on cigarette packs in the mid1980s. The FDA says the new labels will "clearly and effectively convey the health risks of smoking" aimed at encouraging current smokers to quit and discouraging nonsmokers and youth from starting to use cigarettes. "These labels are frank, honest and powerful depictions of the health risks of smoking," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. American Cancer Society CEO John R. Seffrin applauded the new labels in a statement, saying they have the potential to "encourage adults to give up their deadly addiction to cigarettes and deter children from starting in the first place." The new labels come as the share of Americans who smoke has fallen dramatically since 1970, from nearly 40 percent to about 20 percent. The rate has stalled since about 2004. About 46 million adults in the U.S. smoke cigarettes. NY GOP meets privately; gay marriage still unclear ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — It's a familiar scene with a major twist: New York lawmakers meet behind closed doors in the frantic last days of a six-month legislative session with a big pile of seemingly unconnected issues on the table in front of them. This year, however, there is intense national focus on one big issue left dangling: Gay marriage. The 32 Republicans meeting will decide, maybe as soon as Tuesday, whether to send a bill approving same-sex marriage to the floor for a full vote. Only three Republicans need to vote for it to make New York the sixth state where gay marriage is legal. It wasn't clear if the lawmakers were even discussing gay marriage in their closed-door session Tuesday, which was the last scheduled day of the legislative session. What started as an aggressive push last week by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who made gay marriage one of his main policy initiatives in his first year, has ground to a halt while competing interests vie for the issues dearest to them. So, extending and possibly expanding rent control for apartment dwellers in New York City, where rents are stratospheric, is tied to gay marriage. A 2 percent property tax cap statewide is tied to both. Cuomo met twice Tuesday morning with Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, a Long Island Republican who, like all legislative leaders in Albany, holds great sway over which bills make it to the full Senate for a vote. He is opposed to gay marriage but says he'll let his members decide its fate. Twenty-nine of New York's 30 Democratic senators support the gay marriage bill. Two Republicans, Sens. Roy McDonald and James Alesi, also support the bill, creating a 31-31 tie. Two or three Republicans are undecided on their vote. Supporters and opponents gathered at the capitol again Tuesday, but there was little of the raucous singing, chanting and jousting that marked Monday's rallies. State troopers were on hand just in case. Nicole Wa adsw worth, DO O, with patient Andrew Weeiss Major Ohio county has high STD rates CINCINNATI (AP) — Rates of sexually transmitted diseases are well above national averages in the county that includes Cincinnati, with the rate of syphilis nearly nine times the national one, a new report says. Hamilton County's incidence rate for syphilis in 2010 was 32 per 100,000, compared to 3.6 nationally and 2.0 for Ohio, according to the report on Cincinnati-area health that was released Monday. The prevalence of other STDs also exceeds national rates, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. The southwest Ohio county's rate of gonorrhea is double the national one, and its chlamydia rate is triple the U.S. rate, the report says. STDs are a "mini-epidemic," said the report's author, Eddie Hooker. "We don't like to talk about it, but we have a problem here," said Hooker, an associate professor of health services administration at Xavier University and an emergency medicine physician. Hooker and Cincinnati health officials say there is a lack of money and manpower to keep up with the problem. People can be screened for STDs at hospitals or physicians' offices, which notify local health departments if someone tests positive. Physicians ordering tests usually prescribe treatment for the individual, but some patients don't return for final test results and many don't refer their partners for testing or treatment, Hooker said. Most STD testing in the region is handled by the Cincinnati Health Department, which keeps data on infections but doesn't have the staff or budget to follow up with the thousands of people who test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, said the department's medical director, Larry Holditch. The department follows up on those testing positive for syphilis and HIV — the virus that causes AIDS — and their partners, but Ohio law doesn't allow partners of people testing positive for an STD to be treated if they don't come in for testing, Hooker and Holditch said. The report's good news was that deaths from heart disease, cancer and stroke are decreasing in the region. Xavier, the United Way and the Health Improvement Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati compiled the information. 148th Meigs County Fair GOOD FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Good Food August 15-20 At O’Bleness Memorial Hospital, we’re driven by quality.

The difference? They can make more than twice as much bourbon at the new $50 million facility, with room to grow if sales keeps spiking. In a nod to the automation that took hold years ago, workers in a control room lined with computers can adjust their brew with a few keystrokes. It’s among the most ambitious of projects for this industry clustered in central Kentucky’s rolling hills, where distilleries have spent at least $150 million in one of the bourbon sector’s biggest expansions since Prohibition, said Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association. The producers are aiming to quench a thirst for bourbon — especially premium brands — that is steady in the U.S. and rapidly expanding overseas, thanks in part to the comeback of cocktails appealing to younger adults, lower tariffs, robust marketing and a larger middle class in emerging markets. “It used to be if you went West and crossed the Mississippi, it was hard to even find a bourbon,” said Eddie Russell, Wild Turkey’s associate distiller and son of longtime master distiller Jimmy Russell. Wild Turkey is showing off the new distillery at a ceremony Tuesday — though the bourbon aging there won’t be ready for sipping until 2016. Kentucky produces 95 percent of the world’s bourbon, according to the state distillers’ association. More than 5 million bar- rels of bourbon and other whiskeys are currently aging in the state, the highest inventory since the early 1980s. The 4.7 million barrels of aging bourbon even outnumbers the state’s population of 4.3 million. The proliferation of small-batch premium and super-premium products, which are aged longer and fetch higher retail prices, has helped propel sales and given bourbon a more cosmopolitan image. Mike Ryan, head bartender at Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago, said fine bourbons are increasingly in the mix among consumers with a taste for classics like the Manhattan and Old Fashioned, as well as new concoctions popular with younger adults. “It actually provides a much more interesting backdrop for flavors than does something neutral like vodka,” he said. A complex blend of flavors, especially in premium brands, can yield vanilla, citrus and fruit tastes, making bourbon an ideal mixer, he said. Industry observer F. Paul Pacult, editor of the quarterly newsletter Spirit Journal, said bourbon makers are showing an adventurous side with premium offerings that reflect an “intramural competition.” “There’s more innovation happening in Kentucky right now than any other place in the world,” Pacult said. Maker’s Mark, known for its red wax seal, is in the midst of an estimated $50 million expansion that will boost production by about 50 percent and expand bottling capacity at its operations near Loretto in central Kentucky. In the next six years, it plans to build 20 to 25 new warehouses needed for storing barrels of whiskey that will age no fewer than six years.

Beam is pumping $18 million into upgrading its visitor center and making other improvements at its Clermont plant to accommodate growing numbers of tourists flocking to distilleries along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, which features six distilleries that give tours. It is also spending $26 million to expand its bottling operation in the state capital, Frankfort. Heaven Hill Distilleries Inc., whose brands include Evan Williams bourbon, added two storage warehouses earlier this year, boosting its capacity by about 40,000 barrels at a cost of about $5 million. The company is eyeing improvements to its bottling facilities to keep the momentum going. The Four Roses, Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve distilleries also have put money into upgrading visitor centers. One of Kentucky’s most popular tourist destinations, the Bourbon Trail has averaged double-digit percentage growth in the past five years, with nearly 2 million people visiting at least one distillery during the period, Gregory said. In the U.S., 15.4 million 9-liter cases of bourbon and Tennessee whiskey sold in 2010, generating $1.9 billion in revenues for distillers, according to statistics from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, a national trade association. In 2003, 13.4 million cases sold, yielding $1.3 billion in revenues. BY RICH LOWRY The Republican noncandidate flavor of the week is Texas Gov. Rick Perry. If you squint just right, you could mistake him at a podium for his predecessor, George W. Bush. Except for his message. There might be no more powerful symbol of the death of compassionate conservatism in the Republican Party than Bush’s successor and former running mate in Texas stomping all over it with cowboy boots emblazoned with the words “Freedom” and “Liberty.” Bush rose from Texas to the national stage in 1999 talking of his federal education agenda, the courage of single mothers, the power of drug and alcohol recovery programs, and the need for government to forge partnerships with faith organizations. Perry is emerging from Texas talking of the 10th Amendment, cutting government, defending freedom -- and defending freedom some more. Bush spoke in dulcet tones. He separated himself from the firebrand politics of Newt Gingrich and even took a swipe at the insufficiently cheerful Robert Bork. Perry is telling Republicans to stop apologizing and elect more conservatives. He’s Rick Perry, and he’s from the Republican wing of the Republican Party. The backlash against Bush has long been brewing. Compassionate conservatism was a product of the moment when Bush began to run for president in the late 1990s. The congressional wing of the party had immolated itself in the government-shutdown fights and then the impeachment of Bill Clinton. A re-branding was in order, and Bush 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 Rich Lowry wanted to signal to general-election voters that they needn’t fear him. Bush-style conservatism never really took with the broader party, although it gained acquiescence. The president usually gets his way with his congressional majority, so Bush could push through No Child Left Behind and the prescription-drug benefit. The war on terror and the left’s hatred for him bonded conservatives to Bush whatever their misgivings. The nomination of John McCain -- himself no down-the-line conservative -- obscured the antiBush feeling. Now, it’s in full flower and evident on all fronts, from spending and immigration to foreign policy, as Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns point out in Politico. Running on his message circa 1999, George W. Bush would be hard-pressed to gain traction in the current Republican Party. Running on his record circa 2008 -- the spending programs, the bailouts, the attempted amnesty and the two ongoing “hearts and minds” wars of counterinsurgency -- he’d be booed from the stage. If Michele Bachmann didn’t drop-kick him off it first. The Bush Republican Party had grown flaccid and deserved to be trounced and built anew. But Bush had two insights. He realized that the party had to win over the center as well as the right, and that unadulterated doctrine would have the most appeal only to the doctrinaire. If Rick Perry thinks the 10th Amendment is going to have cachet with voters worried about their jobs, their wages and the value of their homes, he’s been spending too much time at Federalist Society seminars. On top of everything else, compassionate conservatism reflected the prosperity of the 1990s. As a candidate, Bush sometimes seemed to forget that economic self-interest trumps all else. In this economy, Republicans would be suicidal ever to forget that. Even as he preaches the oldtime religion, Perry in his proto-stump speech returns again and again to a highly practical theme: his success in fostering a pro-jobs environment in Texas. Republicans may feel no need to be “compassionate” in the Bush sense -- defensively vouching for their own good intentions -- but they need to connect their agenda to their solicitude for the livelihoods of voters. As the press clues into the new anti-Bush drift of the GOP, we can expect a revival in Bush’s reputation. He will be portrayed as more reasonable, more internationalist and altogether more statesmanlike than his benighted compatriots. If only it were still the party of George W. Bush will be the lament. And it will make the party even more glad that it’s not.

The WindSeeker debuted Tuesday at Kings Island, more than seven weeks after the park opened for the season. The ride's launch was delayed by record rainfall and high winds in April that prevented final testing. The 301-foot-tall tower ride has two-person swings that allow riders' feet to dangle free. The park says riders begin rotating in a circular motion as the swings ascend the tower, reaching speeds of up to 30 mph at the top and flaring out 45 degrees from the tower. The park north of Cincinnati says the $5 million WindSeeker will provide riders with 18-mile views on a clear day. project with Rutland, Salisbury and Sutton Townships that resulted in resurfacing of Johnson Road, Noble Summit Road in Rutland, and Salisbury Townships, Naylors Run and Sand Hill Cemetery and the Fairground roads. Triplett said that the OPWC funds paid for 74 percent of the project work with the remaining 26 percent being paid from local funds. As for the bridge replacement on Wolfpen Road, the Federal Highway Administration paid 80 percent of the cost of construction with the county paying the balance. Currently the County Highway Department is involved in a survey being conducted by a consulting firm which includes mapping the roads and streets in Meigs County for the purpose of preparing a Location Based Response System (LBRS). Triplett said that the firm will be using receivers mounted to four- wheel drive vehicles which will drive each road or street collecting information. “The primary reason the county is participating in this project,” said the engineer, “is for 911 – computerized routing of emergency response vehicles will utilize this new data.” (pics submitted) Ohio AG finishes investigation into drilling memo COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Attorney General's office has completed its investigation into an unauthenticated memo that appears to coach salespeople to deceive homeowners while trying to secure oil and gas drilling leases. A resident found the 5-page document in a driveway near Yellow Springs in southwest Ohio. It's marked proprietary. Attorney General Mike DeWine says investigators found no evidence about who wrote the document or whether it was used to defraud homeowners. The investigators talked with landowners, law enforcement and employees of the only oil and gas exploration company operating in the area. DeWine's office would not publicly identify the company. DeWine says it's likely oil and gas drilling concerns will continue popping up because of shale beds beneath Ohio, so his office is posting relevant information for homeowners on its website.

The Nov. 16 threat prompted the school to close four buildings and three streets and for a day disrupted life at one of the country's largest universities.

The 24-year-old Birkemeyer pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to one count of maliciously conveying false information concerning an attempt to destroy property by means of explosives.

The university made its decision in light of a report by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and a separate review by the Ohio Independent Automobile Dealers Association. “We have seen no evidence that would lead us to believe that Ohio State student athletes violated any policies when purchasing used cars,” said university spokesman Jim Lynch. The reviews were launched after questions about players’ car purchases arose in the wake of a scandal in which some players received cash and tattoos for autographs, championship rings and equipment. In a 65-page report issued Tuesday, the state BMV said two Columbus-area dealerships made money on 24 of 25 sales made to players and family members. The BMV, however, did not interview Ohio State players or officials and did not examine records of financial transactions that players file with the university’s athletic compliance office. The report also did not address whether players received discounts not available to the public. Such a discount could be an NCAA violation. In its report, the BMV said the certificates of titles for 25 vehicle sales by Jack Maxton Chevrolet and Auto Direct to Ohio State players and their families accurately reflected the vehicles’ sales prices. According to the report, Auto Direct made money on the 10 vehicles it sold to players and their families and Jack Maxton made money on 14 of 15 sales; one vehicle was sold at a loss because it had been on the lot longer than 150 days. A BMV investigator found vehicles bought at Auto Direct were sold for an average of $2,000 over their wholesale purchase prices, the report said. Auto Direct owner Jason Goss told an investigator “he is not in the business to sell vehicles at a loss and has never discounted the price of vehicle in lieu of sports memorabilia or anything related to O.S.U. athletics.” The BMV investigation found no evidence that tickets and/or sports memorabilia were included in the sales. “The deals that I did for Ohio State studentathletes were no differ- ent than any of the other 10,000-plus deals that I’ve done for all my other customers,” said Aaron Kniffin, the salesman who sold most of the vehicles at both dealerships, in a May 10 affidavit. Kniffin said any sales involving Ohio State players were forwarded to the general manager, who contacted Ohio State’s compliance office. The review by the independent auto dealers association of Auto Direct sales found no evidence of improper titling or sales tax calculations and said the paperwork on all sales complied with state and federal laws. All vehicles were sold at fair market value and profit margins were consistent with the company’s average profit per unit and the national average for used car dealers, James Mitchell, OIADA executive director, said in a May 18 letter to Goss released Tuesday by Ohio State. There “was no preferential treatment,” Mitchell wrote. Ohio State President Gordon Gee said Tuesday the BMV’s findings weren’t surprising. “The university has a very strong compliance system,” he said. “We have always tried to make certain that we are on solid ground on these issues.” Gee added: “That doesn’t mean to say we’re not going to be surprised once in a while.” A lawyer for former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor said the BMV report confirms Pryor never received special treatment in his dealings with Auto Direct, which included a repair on one of Pryor’s cars and a $11,435 purchase of a 2007 Nissan by Pryor’s mother. “There has been no testimony from any credible source that any OSU Student Athlete received special benefits beyond those that any customer received in having their car repaired or in considering the purchase of a vehicle,” attorney Larry James wrote in a memo Tuesday to Doug Archie, Ohio State’s athletics compliance director. Pryor was one of five players suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for taking money and tattoos from local tattoo-parlor owner Edward Rife, who signed an agreement in May to plead guilty to federal drug trafficking and money-laundering charges. Pryor announced earlier this month he wouldn’t return for his senior year. He is now aiming to be selected in the NFL’s supplemental draft this summer. The BMV report also addressed what it called “persistent allegations” that Ohio State athletes and coaches have been allowed to drive dealerowned cars using dealer license plates. That practice is not illegal and is allowed under BMV rules, the agency said. “On the contrary, the statute that governs the use of dealer-plated vehicles by third parties expressly permits dealers to allow any member of the public to operate dealer-owned vehicles,” the agency said in its report. In a May 12 interview with the Ohio Inspector General, Kniffin said Jeff Mauk, owner of Jack Maxton Chevrolet, received tickets from Ohio State coaches for giving them cars to drive. Kniffin said that was a common practice, according to the interview included in the BMV report. Messages were left for Mauk and Goss seeking comment. NHL board approves Thrashers’ move to Winnipeg NEW YORK (AP) — Don Waddell has been through it all with the Atlanta Thrashers since they entered the NHL in 1999. From general manager to coach to team president, Waddell endured the ups and downs — mostly downs — as the franchise struggled on and off the ice. After 13 years and only one playoff appearance that produced no wins, Tuesday was the day for Waddell and Atlanta to finally say goodbye to its second hockey team. The NHL board of governors unanimously approved the sale and relocation of the Thrashers to Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Tuesday, clearing the final big hurdle in the process. True North Sports and Entertainment bought the team last month and announced it was bringing the Thrashers to Winnipeg, which lost the Jets to Phoenix after the 1995-96 season. The sale is reportedly for $170 million, including a $60 million relocation fee that will be split by the rest of the owners. The Thrashers are the fifth NHL team to move since Bettman became commissioner in 1993.

The 6-foot, 235-pound linebacker originally signed with the Buckeyes in February but was recently granted his release. Price, a second-team Class AAAA All-State pick from Woodland Hills High, was ranked among the top 15 linebacker prospects in the country by Scout.com. Pitt coach Todd Graham calls Price "an explosive player" who will fit in well with the Panthers. Price is one of four Woodland Hills players to sign with the Panthers this year, joining defensive lineman Khaynin Mosley-Smith and defensive backs Lafayette Pitts and Jevonte Pitts. Indians send INF Rodriguez back to Pirates CLEVELAND (AP) — Josh Rodriguez is back with the Pittsburgh Pirates after the Cleveland Indians traded the infielder for cash. The Pirates assigned Rodriguez to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. The 26-year-old Rodriguez was taken by Pittsburgh from Cleveland with the No. 1 pick last December in the draft of players left off 40-man rosters. He went 1 for 12 in seven games for Pittsburgh. The Pirates then returned him to Cleveland, which assigned him to Triple-A Columbus. In 18 games there, he hit .193 with two home runs and five RBIs. Globetrotters draft Mountain State's Sturgess BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — The Harlem Globetrotters have selected Mountain State University center Paul Sturgess as part of the team's 2011 draft class. The 7-foot-8 Sturgess was the tallest college player in America. He spent two seasons playing for the Beckley school. Mountain State was the runner-up in the 2011 NAIA national tournament. Sturgess is a native of Loughborough, England, and started playing basketball at age 14 when he was 5-6. His first major growth spurt occurred a year later. Five other players were selected by the Globetrotters this week, including FC Barcelona soccer player Lionel Messi, slam dunk champion Jacob Tucker of Illinois College, 3-point champion Andrew Goudelock of the College of Charleston, S.C., University of Cincinnati player Darnel Wilks and 12year-old ball handling sensation Jordan McCabe of Issaquah, Wash. Rain washes out Yankees-Reds game CINCINNATI (AP) — Alex Rodriguez sat at a folding table in the middle of the Yankees’ clubhouse, watching video of right-hander Johnny Cueto’s delivery on a laptop. Turned out, he was doing some really advance scouting. New York’s game against the Cincinnati Reds was postponed on Tuesday evening because of rain and a threat of storms all evening. It will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. Instead of facing Cueto, Rodriguez got an evening to rest — a benefit in the short-term for the beat-up Yankees, a tough challenge ahead for the makeup day. “We’ll have some guys that are going to have to play a doubleheader tomorrow, but we get Thursday off and we get Monday off,” manager Joe Girardi said. “That should help.” It was the second game postponed by rain at Great American Ball Park this season. The Reds have already made up their May 2 washedout game against Houston. It’s the fourth rainout for the Yankees, who still have to make up the other three games. Both teams stayed on schedule with their starters. New York’s Brian Gordon and Cueto were scheduled to face each other on Tuesday, but will go in the makeup game on Wednesday night. Freddy Garcia and Mike Leake will start the day game as planned. Cueto was scratched from his scheduled start in the series opener because of a stiff neck. Manager Dusty Baker decided to let him pitch the makeup game at night, giving him a little extra time to get ready. “Johnny feels better pitching at night, and the extra hours might be good for his neck situation,” Baker said. The night game will be the featured event for New York — a chance to see if their journeyman starter can be a star again. The Yankees signed Gordon out of Philadelphia’s farm system to fill out their depleted rotation temporarily. The 32-yearold converted outfielder made his Yankees debut on June 16, going 5 1-3 innings in a 3-2 win over Texas in 12 innings. Gordon showed a lot of poise under pressure, giving up two runs and seven hits. The debut was so good that the Yankees have started looking at him as potentially more than just a temp. Despite a lot of injuries to their rotation and their everyday lineup, the Yankees have won nine of 11 and moved a season-high 13 games over .500. Several players are pulling through injuries, including Rodriguez, who has a sore left shoulder.

Fireworks 9:30 The Daily Sentinel • Page A9 www.mydailysentinel.com McKeon, 80, named Marlins’ interim manager MIAMI (AP) — Jack McKeon was home in North Carolina watching his granddaughter’s softball game when the phone rang with a job offer. Always one to go against the grain, McKeon hopped on a plane bound for Florida to come out of retirement. At 80, he’s the second-oldest manager in major-league history and the oldest since 1950. “Why should experience get penalized?” he said Monday, shortly after being reintroduced as the Florida Marlins’ manager. He led them to the World Series championship in 2003, retired two years later and figures he’s ready for a career comeback, despite his age. “Sometimes it gets blown out of proportion,” he said. “Maybe I’m not hip with the Twitter or Facebook or stuff like that, but outside of that I don’t have any problem disciplining my kids — or these players.” McKeon’s title is interim manager, and he’ll lead the team for the rest of the season. More than ever does the National League’s nickname seem apt: the senior circuit. The hiring created a buzz around baseball. “It’s very unusual, almost unthinkable,” said Rays manager Joe Maddon, who is 57. “God bless him,” said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, 46. “I would hope I’d have the energy at 80 years old to do that.” “I just hope I feel good enough to put my pajamas on, let alone manage,” said Tigers manager Jim Leyland, 66. The oldest big-league manager was Connie Mack, who led the Philadelphia Athletics in a straw hat and suit until 1950, when he was 87. McKeon will wear a ballcap and uniform with No. 25. McKeon made no mention Monday of Mack, but said he draws inspiration from 84year-old Joe Paterno, who will coach Penn State’s football team for a 46th season this year. “I’ve managed since I was 14 years old,” McKeon jokingly said. “I’ll probably manage until I’m 95.” Actually, McKeon was 42 when he began managing in 1973. None of his current players were yet born, but none objected to the prospect of taking orders from someone older than their grandparents. “It doesn’t matter how old he is,” 21-yearold slugger Mike Stanton said. “He’s very respected in the game. We know what he has to offer, and that’s knowledge to bring to a younger clubhouse.” Injured pitcher Josh Johnson is the only current member of the Marlins who played for »»»» reen Go G » Jared Lazarus photo/Miami Herald/MCT Florida Marlins' manager Jack McKeon argues a call with home plate umpire Kerwin Danley in the fourth inning against Tampa Bay on Sunday, May 22, 2005. McKeon. Florida’s new old manager succeeds Edwin Rodriguez, who resigned Sunday. The change in leadership failed to inspire an immediate reversal by the Marlins, whose losing streak reached 11 games Monday night when they were beaten by the Los Angeles Angels, 2-1. But McKeon’s an octogenarian focused on October. He envisions his struggling team making the playoffs. “We’ll be all right,” he said. “We’ll turn this thing around. Don’t worry about it.” Like a lot of folks his age, McKeon enjoys smoking cigars and telling stories, preferably at the same time. But he gets restless at home and said lately he was spending 12 to 15 hours a day watching games on TV. His family gave the OK for him to return to the dugout. “My wife was probably happy to get me out of the house,” he said. The job means long days, late nights and a grueling travel schedule. McKeon figures he can do it because he has done it before. “It’s like riding a bike. Nothing to it,” he said. McKeon had been employed as a part-time special assistant to Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria. Team president David Samson said McKeon works harder than many people half his age and seems even sharper mentally than in 2003, when he came out of another retirement at age 72 to take over the Marlins in May. That hiring made him the oldest manager to take over a big league team, and he quickly revived the franchise. Florida beat the Yankees in the World Series, and McKeon received the NL manager of the year award for the second time. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, who was McKeon’s third-base coach in 2003, isn’t surprised to see him in the dugout again. “He loves the game. He loves to be around media. He loves to be around players. He loves to compete against another team,” Guillen said. “I hope he can do the same thing he did in 2003.” That will be tough: The Marlins are 1-19 in June. But president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest, who also hired McKeon in 2003, said his oldschool approach might be enough to spark a turnaround. “It’s going to be his way, and if you don’t like it, we’re going to find somebody else to do it his way,” Beinfest said. “Everybody pretty much knows where they stand. I think he’s fair. He can be tough. He can be loving. This is an experienced guy who knows what he is doing. There’s a lot of comfort in that. It will be a different approach. We’ll see if the guys respond.” Save Money on Your T No V o P OC Utility Bills with oll ute Thermal Insulating Paint Jeff Warner Agent Jeff Warner Agency Nationwide Insurance for HOME • INDUSTRY • TRANSPORTATION Gheen’s Painting Inc. “T Long Bottom, Ohio hi No 1-800-554-5582 Pa nne 1-740-949-0405 in rs t ” 1-740-590-3700 On Your Side® ater W anup Cle White Sox outfielder Juan Pierre predicted they will. He played for McKeon on the 2003 World Series team. “He is definitely going to light a fire under the guys over there if he does the same thing he did with us,” Pierre said. “He’s up in age, but I guess he can still move around enough to get out there every day. God bless him for even wanting to come back at 80 years old.” After three successive winning seasons with Florida, McKeon retired as manager at age 74 in 2005. There had been a buzz for several years that he wanted to return to the dugout. “I had a little siesta,” he said. “After I laid out for a year and a half or two years, I started to miss it.” This is the second successive season Florida has changed managers in June. Rodriguez was a firsttime major-league manager. In McKeon, the Marlins are going with experience — lots of it. “He has always been good with young kids, always. And they’ve got a young team,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “It will keep him energized. And as long as he can get to a cigar, he’ll be fine.” 113 West 2nd.

Open title CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Winning the West Virginia Open may have been the biggest thing on David Bradshaw’s plate a year ago. Not anymore, but it still doesn’t diminish the desire he has to play well in his home state’s event. Bradshaw has qualified for two PGA Tour events this year and, despite not making the cut in either, he’s at least realized a dream of breaking through to compete among the world’s greatest golfers. When the West Virginia Open gets started on Wednesday at The Pines Country Club in Morgantown, Bradshaw will be going after his sixth title overall and third in a row. At age 28, he’s tied with Grafton’s Brad Westfall for the second-most Open wins, behind Sam Snead’s record 17. “I’m prepared,” Bradshaw said Tuesday. “I’m getting ready for it in every way possible. Being on the Tour, the golf courses are tougher and obviously the competition is the best of the best.” Bradshaw lives in San Diego and splits his time playing in tournaments on both coasts. Two weeks ago Bradshaw shot 3 over-par and missed the cut at the Nationwide Tour’s Prince George’s County Open in College Park, Md. In late May he tied for eighth in a mini-tour event in North Carolina, shooting 14 under and earning $5,743. “I’ve played really well,” Bradshaw said. “I haven’t been hitting it well until the last couple of weeks. It’s a matter of how well I putt. Things are coming together.” He’s hoping for another shot at a PGA Tour event and has his eyes on next month’s Greenbrier Classic in White Sulphur Springs. He already has a plane ticket to play in a Monday qualifier for that event. First, there’s this week’s tournament, something he strongly wants to win again. “There’s two parts to it,” he said. “There’s the money aspect. And this golf tournament I take as serious or even more so than I have in the past. “Being the best is why you play the game. That’s why I play it anyway. I want to be as good as I can be, and hopefully that’s better than anybody else.” Among those expected to challenge Bradshaw this time are Morgantown’s Bob Friend, who’s finished in the top 10 six straight years; and Wheeling’s Jason Martin, who tied for third last year at 2 under. Last year, Bradshaw finished at 10 under and beat amateur Tim Fisher by one stroke at Hurricane’s Sleepy Hollow Golf Club. Fisher, a three-time winner of the state Amateur, won’t be in Morgantown to challenge Bradshaw. The West Virginia Golf Association suspended Fisher from its events for one year until mid-July, meaning he’s ineligible to play in the state Open, Amateur and Four-Ball matches. Fisher was suspended after he didn’t give proper notification when he withdrew in the middle of last year’s U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship in Greensboro, N.C., and drove to compete in the West Virginia Open. The last time the tournament was played at The Pines might have been its most controversial finish. Westfall beat amateur Pat Carter in a three-hole aggregate playoff in 2003 in which there were plenty of distractions. Carter, preparing to hit first in the playoff, had to 4TH ANNUAL SOUTHERN BASKETBALL GOLF SCRAMBLE AP source: NFL owners, players mull revenue split MASON, W.Va. — The Southern Basketball team will holds its 4th annual golf scramble on Saturday, July 9, at Riverside Golf Course in Mason, W.Va.

Up at the green, Carter was interrupted again when Westfall made a noise with the Velcro of his golf glove. The pair had another discussion on the second playoff hole. The last time the Open was in Morgantown was at Lakeview Resort in 2007. Nearly 2 inches of rain fell during the threeday tournament and caused numerous delays. West Virginia Golf Association Executive Director Ken Tackett said recent heavy rains could keep conditions soft on the course. There’s a chance of rain in the forecast each day. “It’s really wet,” Bradshaw said. “The hardest thing about this course is controlling the spin on the greens. It will be a tough test of golf.” KYRIE IRVING DERRICK WILLIAMS Cavs mulling NBA draft decisions CLEVELAND (AP) — They’re done measuring, timing and talking to prospective draft picks. It’s time for the Cleveland Cavaliers to choose a few. Empowered with the Nos. 1 and 4 picks in Thursday’s NBA draft, the Cavs will spend the next 48 hours deciding who to add to their roster. While all signs indicate they will select Duke point guard Kyrie Irving first overall, the Cavs have not yet made any final decisions. They’ll spend Tuesday and Wednesday setting their board and debating their many options, which could include a trade — or two. The Cavs also have two second-round picks (Nos. 32 and 54) and a $14.5 million trade exception, assets they may package with players or owner Dan Gilbert’s cash to make deals. On Monday, the team held its last round of workouts by hosting Arizona forward Derrick Williams, Turkish center Enes Kanter and Kentucky guard Brandon Knight at their suburban training facility. Williams and Kanter were in for their second visits, and the pair also met with Gilbert and some of his kids, adding another layer of mystery to the team’s true intentions. The Cavs have treated this draft with air-tight security, throwing up an impenetrable defense around their plans. Other than a few random tweets on his Twitter account, Gilbert has been out of sight; general manager Chris Grant has made no public comments in weeks and the club closed player workouts to the media. Nearly one year after LeBron James stripped them of their identity, the Cavs have all the power — and they’re using it. Aside from the record rainfall, it’s been an otherwise joyous spring in Cleveland, a city not accustomed to feeling too good about its sports teams. The Cavaliers, who lost 63 games and were out of the playoff hunt by January in their first season without James, won the draft lottery in May. Then James, whose tortuous departure last summer left scars, lost to Dallas in the NBA finals, giving Cleveland fans a chance to gloat over someone else’s misery for a change. But this draft has spawned optimism and is giving the Cavaliers a chance to accelerate their post-LeBron recovery. As the first team with two picks in the top four since Houston in 1983, Cleveland is confident it will come away climbing a few rungs up the ladder back to contention. Trouble is, experts have labeled this draft as one of the weakest in recent memory. Several top players, including lottery locks Harrison Barnes and Jared Sullinger, decided to stay in college perhaps because of concerns about a possible labor lockout. What’s left are players laden with question marks and only Irving and Williams viewed as potential perennial AllStars. If there’s a year when having the No. 1 and No. 4 picks is not ideal, this would be it. Sorry, Cleveland. And although the Cavs have not publicly committed to settling on Irving, he appears to be their top choice. In the point-guard-driven NBA, where backcourt players like Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo and John Wall are obscuring their taller teammates as stars, the 6-foot-4 Irving has all the tools — size, speed, ballhandling — to make an immediate impact for the Cavs. At times, Cleveland’s Princeton offense barely performed up to Ivy League levels last season, frustrating first-year coach Byron Scott. Irving’s not without flaws, however. The major knock on the 19year-old is that he only played 11 games for the Blue Devils because of a toe injury and there are some who wonder if he needs more grooming. If the Cavs do take him first, Irving will be the third point guard in four years to go No. 1, joining Wall, who went to Washington last year and Rose, picked by Chicago in 2008. He’s a safe, if not sure, pick. “He’s a terrific young point guard, and he’s a true point guard,” ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, a fellow Dookie, said in a conference call. “I do liken him to Chris Paul. But he’s not quite as good as Paul. But if you had taken Chris Paul out his freshman year, you might say the same thing. Iving, what he lacks, that a Wall or a Rose or guys like that have, he’s not as explosive an athlete. He’s not in that class athletically.” Williams, on the other hand, has off-the-charts athleticism. The 6-foot-8 forward wowed the Cavs during his individual workout last week, when he did all he could to convince them that he can play small forward and not power forward, the position most league insiders believe he’s best suited for. Williams’ visit on Monday was somewhat of a surprise. It’s not clear if the team asked him back or if he requested a second look, which is not uncommon for players slotted to go in the top 10. He averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds last season, but wasn’t considered a lottery pick until he scored 32 in Arizona’s NCAA tournament win over Duke. The Cavs have toyed with moving up to No. 2, so they could land both Irving and Williams — a two-handed slam dunk in this class. But that seems unlikely unless they can strike a deal with Minnesota, which has entertained offers but seems reluctant to give up the highest pick in franchise history. If Cleveland does pick Williams, Irving won’t fall far. “We’ll take him,” said Timberwolves president David Kahn. “He’s not moving past two.” Williams campaigned to be No. 1, but now seems resigned to the Cavs choosing Irving. “I wouldn’t doubt it,” he said last week. “He’s great.” ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — NFL owners and players are discussing a straight split of income in the next collective bargaining agreement that would net the players just under 50 percent of total revenues. A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the players’ share would approach the 50 percent the NFLPA has said it has received throughout the last decade. But the expense credits — about $1 billion last year — that the league takes off the top would disappear. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are supposed to be confidential. The owners are holding a special meeting Tuesday to discuss proposals made in recent negotiations with the players. Also, there would no longer be “designated revenues” from which the players would share, the person said. Instead, the players would share from the entire pie, which they project will grow significantly over the course of the new CBA, which is expected to run anywhere from six to 10 years. So if they are taking 48 percent or more of a much higher revenue stream — without the initial NFL deduction for operating expenses — the players still would receive far more money than they got under the previous agreement. A salary floor keeping teams within 90 percent of the cap also would be included. The players have been concerned that some teams whose revenue streams don’t match up with the richer clubs would try to hold down salary spending. Several owners were expected to have objections to some of the proposals, which could lead to lengthy discussions lasting perhaps into Wednesday. But both sides appear eager to find common ground for a new collective bargaining agreement rather than going back into court. A U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering the league’s appeal of a lower-court injunction that originally blocked the lockout. That injunction is on hold, and a ruling could come anytime. The lockout began March 12. Training camps are scheduled to open in late July. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
