REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Two Meigs County women appeared in court Friday on charges they sold a dangerous pain medication — one of them allegedly in the presence of a juvenile. An investigator said more arrests are expected soon on secret indictments returned by the grand jury. Alison B. Smith, 26, and Emily Dillard Bush, 28, are charged with trafficking in oxycodone in separate investigations. They appeared in Meigs County Common Pleas Court before Judge Dean Evans, sitting on assignment. Smith is charged with selling two 30-milligram unit doses of the medication on Nov. 23 in a onecount secret indictment filed Wednesday. Bush is charged with selling the drug in the presence of a juvenile on Dec. 3. The charges against the two women are thirddegree felonies. Pomeroy Attorney Trenton Cleland was appointed to represent Smith in her case. She was released on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. Denise Bunce was appointed to represent Bush, and her bond was also set at $5,000. Both The Chautauqua is coming........

Stimulus funds have also been used in the past two years to make up for losses in state budget provisions, and the elimination of those funds will have other affects on job programs, as well. Last year, Meigs County’s Department of Job and Family Services had access to nearly $150,000 in funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for a summer youth employment program. Director Christopher Shank said Friday that program placed 72 clients at 30 work sites for the summer months. This year, the agency has no summer youth employment program, because ARRA funds have dried up and no other funding source is available to pay those workers. Shank said ARRA money not only paid wages for summer workers, but also made up for losses in other program areas, and the agency is now planning long-term to address those funding cuts. “We experienced massive funding cuts two years ago, and funds through the economic See Employment, A3 COLUMBUS — The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has announced it will be issuing a final National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit regarding an application filed by Gatling, Ohio LLC which has mining operations in the Racine area. Back in the spring, Ohio EPA officials held a public information hearing at Southern Elementary School to take comments on the permit which deals with Gatling’s Bowman Run portal project and the Wolf Run project which is connected with the company’s Yellowbush Mine. Gatling amended its original application to remove discharges described in a new coal refuse disposal area originally printed in a legal notice. The draft NPDES permit was issued in May. The final NPDES permit is official on Aug. 1. Ohio EPA is in charge of issuing or denying only the NPDES permit which mandates chemical, physical and biological monitoring of discharge into waterways. As previously reported, the first proposal is for the Bowman Portal site, on CR 29, and relates to discharging to an unnamed tributary to Bowman Run. The second proposal is for the Wolf Run site, off SR 124 which relates to discharging to an unnamed tributary to Wolf Run. The final permit may be appealed through the Ohio Environmental Review Appeals Commission by filing within 30 days of the notice of the final action, which again, is Aug. 1. ERAC appeals require a $70 filing fee which is sometimes reduced by the Commission if the appellant demonstrates paying the full amount would be a hardship. Appeals are sent to ERAC, 309 South South Fourth St., Room 222, Columbus, 43215. The Ohio EPA may be contacted at 1-614644-2129 regarding the final permit. �Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis GALLIA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE PARTICIPATES IN CIT TRAINING Photo courtesy of the Gallia County Sheriffʼs Office Members of the Gallia County Sheriffʼs Office (GCSO) and others recently participated in “Crisis Intervention Team” training sponsored by Southeast Ohio NAMI.

Extension News BY HAL KNEEN Are you seeing an aggressive yellowish color grass in your lawn? You may have an invasive weed called yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) growing in your lawn. Now is the time of the year that many homeowners are battling this very visible weed in turf. The yellow color, shiny texture, and rapid rate upright growth results in its protrusion above the canopy of the desirable grasses. Yellow nutsedge thrives under warm, wet conditions and can often be found in low, damp areas of lawns. This weed is often most problematic during summers with above normal rainfall. Management and environmental factors, including improper mowing, nutrient deficiencies, insect damage, drought stress, etc., which stress or Hal Kneen reduce the density or competitive ability of desirable turfgrass, will often lead to increased populations of yellow nutsedge. It grows by underground stolons (stems), seed and a nut-like storage feature found underground. You can pull it out of the lawn by hand. It may take several pullings over several months but in small patches this is a possible way to control this invasive. Spray materials are available including halosulfuron (Manage), bentazon (Basagran) and MSMA (Daconate). Halosulfuron seems to be the one most often found. The sprays are applied when the nutsedge is small and may need a second application. Follow label directions. *** Cucumber and melon growers be aware that the fungus, downy mildew has been found in Ohio. The spread of downy mildew in Ohio is dependent on the weather - bright sunny days are detrimental to spore survival and transport, while overcast days promote spore survival and rainfall results in spore deposition on adjacent leaves. Before the disease appears a protectant spray works well on a 7-10 day schedule with Bravo, Manzate or Dithane. Commercial growers need to add Presidio, Ranman, Previcur Flex, Tanos,or Curzate. Alternate products. The application interval can be lengthened under dry conditions. Use the shorter interval under cool, moist conditions. After the disease appears cut the spray schedule to every 5-7 days. Recent research for commercial growers has shown that fungicides can be ranked as follows for efficacy against downy mildew: Presidio (2) = Ranman (0) > Previcur Flex (2) > Curzate (3)> Gavel*(5) > Mancozeb *(5) = Bravo (0). Note that the fungicides recommended above have different preharvest intervals (PHI). Keep this in mind when fungicides are applied after harvesting begins. *labeled for cucumbers, melons, summer squash, watermelon (NOT pumpkin) *** Mark the week of September 20-22 on your calendar, Farm Science Review! This year’s Review theme, “Where Farmers Go to Dream,” will put the emphasis on agricultural innovation and an effort to spark new ideas and long-term vision for farmers and the agricultural industry. Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A2 Dairy farmers keep cows cool during summer COLUMBUS – During hot, summer months, Ohioans take extra steps to keep cool whether it’s diving into the local pool or moving inside to an air-conditioned room. Similarly, Ohio’s dairy farmers take further measures in the summer to ensure their cows are safe and comfortable. “In the summer, temperatures rise and bring new challenges for Ohio dairy farmers,” said Scott E. Higgins, American Dairy Association Mideast (ADA) president and CEO. “Because summer heat can bring stress to cows, farmers make it a priority to plan ahead and work hard to make sure their cows remain cool and comfortable at all times.” In an effort to educate consumers, ADA recently released a new short video to explain how Ohio dairy farmers ensure their cows are healthy, safe and cool during the summer. The video is featured on www.ohiodairyfarmers.com. During the summer, cows are housed in temperature-controlled barns with roofs and curtains that provide natural shade to keep them cool. In fact, a barn can be 20 degrees cooler inside than it is outside on a hot, sunny day. Making sure bedding is soft, clean and dry also is important to keep the cows cool and comfortable. Many Ohio dairy farmers use sand as bedding because it stays cool in the summer and also keeps bacteria from growing. In addition to bedding, fans and sprinklers are important ways that Ohio dairy farmers keep their cows cool on the hottest summer days. Dairy farmers use sprinkler systems in their barns to mist the cows. The sprinklers combined with large fans hung throughout the barn create a cooling effect that is very similar to air conditioners in houses. Both are set to thermostats that automatically turn on when the barn reaches a certain temperature. Because dairy cows can drink more than 40 gallons of water each day during the summer, a continuous supply of fresh, cold water also is critical. “Cow comfort is a top priority for the state’s dairy farmers during the summer months and all year long,” said Higgins. In Ohio, there are 272,000 dairy cows that live on more than 3,200 dairy farms located throughout the state. In 2010, Ohio’s dairy cows produced 5.27 billion pounds, or more than 600 million gallons of milk, ranking the state 11th in total dairy production. The 49th annual Farm Science Review will be held at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio, and farmers can expect to see field demonstrations despite the heaviest rains in the state in more than a century. “We were able to have all the corn and soybeans planted by June 8, so it’s possible depending on the weather that the crops may be ready for harvest during the Review,” said Chuck Gamble, Farm Science Review Manager. “Regardless of whether we’re harvesting at that time, attendees will see field demonstrations, such as tillage and GPS.” For more information, go to http://fsr.osu.edu. Farm Science Review is sponsored by the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, Ohio State University Extension, and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. *** Take time to enjoy the various locally grown vegetables such as sweet corn, tomatoes and beans available from the garden, farmers market, or grocery store.

From Page A1 water falling from the building’s leaky roof, a problem exacerbated by the unusually wet weather. Due to the leaks, especially those located over the facility’s food pantry, representatives from the Ohio Department of Agriculture, as well as the Gallia County Health Department, gave the organization 30 days to fix the leaks. On Friday, a worker with Five-Star Roofing, a company based in Indiana, was putting the finishing touches on a new roof — a roof guaranteed to last for at least 25 years. Outreach Center Board Member Sherrie Fenderbosch is ecstatic with the results of donations that have made a new roof possible. “It’s another miracle. We received enough to have the roof done so we should be totally in compliance now, even better than what they were asking for,” Fenderbosch said. “[It] is thanks to God and this community.” The entire cost of the roof came in at $29,162, thanks to a discount of $2,700 from Five-Star roofing. The $29,000 was raised through donations that have been given over the past three years, donations that began with a generous $1,000 gift from community member Frances Vanpelt. According to Fenderbosch, local businesses, churches, individuals, and even children, have extended a hand and have made donations, both big and small. “It’s really been tremendous support on the part of everybody, not just in Gallia County but the tri-county,” Fenderbosch said. “We’ve had people from Meigs donate, people from Point Pleasant. ... We have shoppers come from the entire tristate area and they have made donations and, even though they might be small, they count just as much.” The nonprofit is operated in part through funding provided by the United Way — funding that has decreased dra- matically over the past several years — and by the support of the community. The Outreach Center is a basic thrift store that provides clothing, household goods and appliances. The facility also has a food pantry which is open to the community three out of four weeks each month. “People think we serve only povertyridden people, it’s not true. I’ve helped nurses, I’ve helped social workers, I’ve helped teachers — all those people that get injured or they lose their job or they lose their health insurance,” Fenderbosch said. “It happens to the average Joe just as much as it happens to people who don’t have a lot of income. They are grateful and, as they get jobs, they give back to us.” Currently, Outreach employees and volunteers are working to remove carpeting and other materials damaged by water and are now accepting donations that will allow them to repaint the facility, add a new floor and make general improvements. And, as always, the Outreach Center is accepting general community donations that will allow them to better serve the community. “We just feel like God wanted this work to continue, and only He has made it so that we can make it even better and serve even more people,” Fenderbosch said. “The better the store becomes, the more people we can feed.” In 2010, the Outreach Center provided food for 1,099 children, 2,118 adults and 352 seniors. “It’s been neighbor helping neighbor. It’s been — I call it karma, you can call it whatever you like — but you can’t out-give God,” Fenderbosch said. “I think the more we give, the more we get. It has proven right every time we have been in a crisis.” The Outreach Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Anyone interested in giving a donation can contact the Outreach Center at 446-7555. Employment From Page A1 stimulus program helped fill some of those holes in our operating budget,” Shank said. “Now, those funds are gone, and with other cuts at the state level, the loss hurts local programs and services.” “However, we are planning on the local level to make thoe cuts as painless as possible.” The agency has reduced staff through attrition — by not replacing employees who have retired or left the department — and taken other cost-saving measures. Contracts with other agencies and the lease of office space on the second floor of the department’s One-Stop Employment and Training Center are expected to help make up for lost revenue. Shank said the agency experienced “massive cuts” in state — and indirectly, federal — funds for programs, and cuts between 10 and 22 percent are forecast for the next budget year due to a state budget crunch. The summer youth program employed income-eligible young people, ages 14 to 21, in public-sector job sites. Much of the work was maintenance related, other was office work. The program allowed those youth to earn wages during the summer season and acquire job skills. �OPINION Page A4 Sunday, June 10, 2011 825 Third Avenue • Gallipolis, Ohio (740) 446-2342 • FAX (740) 446-3008 www.mydailytribune.com Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution W H AT O T H E R N E W S PA P E R S A R E S AY I N G New Ohio election law isn't awful, but the tactics of its passage leave a sour taste: editorial BY THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER EDITORIAL BOARD The election-reform bill that Gov. John Kasich signed into law last week does some good things: It moves the state toward using the Internet to register voters and update records. It eliminates the confusing "golden week" when a person could register and vote the same day, and it moves the primary to May — extra time that will be especially welcome after next year's redistricting. Unfortunately, the new law also does some bad things: It reduces the time for early voting, notably in-person voting, and it forbids mailing absentee ballot applications to all voters — a popular practice that has helped Cuyahoga County reduce Election Day congestion. But the worst aspect of these "reforms" is how they've reinforced public cynicism by once again making it appear there are distinct Republican or Democratic ways to run elections. There aren't — or at least there shouldn't be. But the way in which this legislation was shoved through the General Assembly — on party-line votes and with little apparent heed paid to the objections of minority Democrats, local election professionals or nonpartisan election law experts — made it look like a concerted GOP campaign to stack the deck. That, in turn, undermines public confidence in the most basic work of democracy — and whets the appetite of Democrats to tilt the balance when they get the chance, as they eventually will. The bill could have been worse. Senate GOP leaders, in tandem with Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, derailed — at least for now — a strict identification requirement that would have made voting more difficult for many older and less affluent Ohioans. And while the changes probably will make early voting more difficult initially, some Democrats' talk of disenfranchisement was overblown. Remember that when "nofault" early voting was approved, almost no one dreamed it would be so widely used — nor was it, until Barack Obama's campaign tapped its potential in 2008. Smart lawyers, political strategists and voters will adapt. But partisans who treat election law as just another game do no one any good.

U.S. 35 project deserves attention Dear Editor, The July 4 headline in the Charleston Gazette reads, “WV starts the new year (fiscal year) with a $330M Surplus”. Just as many Mason County residents including myself suspected and contended. There is money to finish the US 35 upgrade, the state has just been dead set on tolling our road for a revenue producing machine since way back in 2002 and is unwilling to use state funds to complete the project. Gov’t waste in our own front yard Dear Editor, I just read in the Tribune that the hospital in Pomeroy that is only 40 years old is scheduled to be torn down. The article said that it was owned by Meigs County. Why is it that when a government owns or takes control of a building, they let it go to waste then ruin such as the Pomeroy hospital and Davis Hall and the Gallipolis City Building? Today people are all up in arms about the federal governments wasteful spending. Why don’t people look in their own front yard. When the hospital in Pomeroy was closed, it could have either been converted to an office building or sold to investors. The same may have been done to Davis Hall; it would have made a great retirement home or an ALC. When the addion to the Gallipolis City Building and fire station was built in 1958, the City building part was designed that a third and fourth floor could have been added. I believe the repair and addition of two more floors would have cost less than tearing down the building and buying neighboring property, leasing offices around town. Granted the orginal City Hall, built in the 1800’s, may have needed to come down. I have not read one article in the Tribune where any of this was even considered. I no longer live in Gallipolis, but I love [it] as a mother loves her child. Gallipolis is where I lived and grew up; she will always be my hometown. Lawrence Dickey II Phil Kabler also notes in his column that WV now has over $800M in their reserve accounts. And the state still suggests there are no funds to complete the replacement for the most dangerous road in WV? And what is being done with the $29M in federal earmarks the state is holding which by federal law must go on the US 35 project? Is anyone seeing the promised upgrade to the remaining old 35 where a portion of these funds were supposed to be spent? In addition, with the talk of putting more highway funds on Corridor H (“The Road to Nowhere”), I ask will that road then become a toll road? I think not. Come on, Tomblin or Maloney, the first man to commit to completing the US 35 upgrade without tolling it, will get the vote out of Mason County residents. There are funds (taxpayer monies), use them! Gene Zopp Gallipolis Ferry, WV Thanks for successful River Rec Festival Dear Editor, This is a long over-due letter of thanks to the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce. What a wonderful thing you do for the area, by organizing the annual River Recreation Festival. I am well aware of the hours of planning required for this amazing event. In the weeks before the Festival, many of us have noticed lights burning in the Chamber offices late at night. These hours produce a good time for so many. It is also important to mention planning for next year begins now. For those of us involved in the Festival Exhibit, sponsored by the French Art Colony, we are in our 43rd year in the historic city park. With the Ohio River as the beautiful background for the exhibit and the festival, the chosen site is ideal. We enjoy hearing praise, from our visitors, for our exhibit and for the work of the chamber. It feels a bit like “old home week” when so many former Gallipolitans, return because of the River Recreational Festival. Many local graduates plan their class reunions to coincide with it. On a further note, I recently heard some criticism of the Festival, some of it having to do with the cost of the rides. Apparently those complaining do not drive cars and haven’t noticed gasoline has more than tripled in the past three years. Fuel is required to power the rides. Perhaps those same complainers are not insured or do not know commercial liability insurance has sky rocketed in cost. This insurance is a “must have” item for anyone providing this type entertainment. Actually, the cost of the rides is a bargain compared to other sites. Dozens of volunteers give many hours toward the success of this annual event. You are appreciated by many and we thank you. On that note, I have also noticed those individuals who criticize and do not appreciate this and other community events, tend to be the same folks who never offer to help. Again — thank you Chamber Staff, voluntees and the many participating organizations, who make this event so successful. Sincerly, Janice M. Thaler Gallipolis Road work appreciated Dear Editor, We want to thank the Sutton Township Trustees for working so hard trying to keep the road in good condition in front of the Gatling coal mine entrance on Yellowbush Road. With all of the large trucks that go in and out of the mine, the road gets pretty bad. The trustees keep working on trying to keep in passable for the people that have to travel on it. It is a never ending job but thanks to them they keep trying. Lola J.

The ubiquitous scourge — the TV screen BY RICH LOWRY national tragedy — the JFK assassination, Sept. 11 — it draws us together in a web of immediate shared images. As a general matter, though, TV is the Love Canal of our culture. It’s a conduit for all that is low and toxic. Berger cites a 2010 study from Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine that found that among toddlers “every additional hour of television exposure” eventually means decreases in “classroom engagement ... math achievement ... time spent doing weekend physical activity ... and activities involving physical effort,” and increases in “victimization by classmates ... consumption scores for soft drinks and snacks ... and body mass index.” The American Academy of Pediatricians recommends that kids 2 and younger avoid TV — and everything else on a screen — altogether. For the rest of us, that is all but impossible. It speaks to the power of TV that even when what’s on doesn’t truly interest you, it’s hard to take your eyes off it. It literally demands our attention. The only defense is fewer TVs and more of them turned off. That’s surely too much to hope for in a culture long ago utterly conquered by the TV screen. There are few things more inescapable in American life than the TV screen. Sitting at the lounge at the airport, there is CNN Headline News overhead, invariably blaring. In the back of New York City cabs, there is a little screen playing stale TV news clips. In waiting rooms, in elevators, in the back of people’s cars and in practically every room in the American home, there it is — insistent, noisy, the background track to our lives. It is a sign of the apotheosis of the TV screen that the two great sports palaces opened in recent years, Cowboys Stadium and the new Yankee Stadium, have enormous (and enormously distracting) high-definition screens. The one at Cowboys Stadium, suspended over the field, stretches from 20-yard line to 20-yard line. Why bother with the actual game playing out on such a smaller scale? Television is the most ubiquitous and insidious force in everyday American life. If it were a drug, it’d be illegal, and federal agents would be raiding the studios of the networks. If it were a foodstuff or tobacco product, New York City Mayor Michael (Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry(at Bloomberg would ban it and other cities would follow suit. It’s none of those things, of course, and its deadening influence sign)nationalreview.com) steadily spreads. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate TV can be entertaining and even informative. At times of �Sunday, July 10, 2011 Sunday Times-Sentinel • Page A5 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Obituaries Wilson N. “Buck” Boyles, Jr. Colonel Wilson N. “Buck” Boyles, Jr. (US Army Retired) formerly of Gallipolis, but a resident of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. since his retirement after nearly 32 years of military service, died January 2, 2011. He was the son of the late Wilson N. Boyles, Sr., a C&O Railway Telegrapher and Iona Backers. He and a younger brother, the late Jimmy Boyles, and family resided on upper Fourth Ave. His wife of nearly 60 years, Annabelle “Ann” (Gordy) of Lancaster, Ohio, preceded him in death June 29, 2003. Wilson was a 1937 graduate of Gallia Academy High School. He attended Rio Grande College and Ohio University for three years during the Great Depression with the help of scholarships, student self help work programs, and part-time work with the American Railway Express and Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad companies. Having nearly earned a degree in Education, he had hopes of permanent employment with either of the railroad companies. However, he had been trying for an appointment to the United State Military Academy when unexpectedly he received an appointment. He chose to attend West Point with war seemingly possible because its academic programs oriented toward science, engineering and continuous military life and training would lead to a Bachelor of Science degree and commission as a career Army Officer. Wilson and Ann dated before he entered West Point. Although engaged while a cadet, their marriage had to wait until his graduation. A cadet could not be or ever have been married. They were married at West Point on June 6, 1944 in the Cadet Chapel following his graduation earlier that day which is well remembered as World War II’s “D-Day”. A prized possession of Wilson’s was a letter from General Dwight D. ”Ike” Eisenhower, West Point Class of 1915 and at that time Commander of the Allied Invasion Forces of Europe. Ike’s message to the West Point Class of 1944 which included Ike’s son, John, welcomed their help with the stern tasks that lay ahead. Encouragingly, he remarked that “the traditions of our West Point Alma Mater will sustain your devotion to duty”. As a 2nd Lieutenant, Wilson’s initiation to combat in Europe was as a Sherman tank platoon leader. During an attack, Ike’s words of encouragement became a truism. A most challenging experience for Wilson, who was still apprehensive about the unexpected challenges of war, occurred while attempting a Danube River crossing. As he crossed the river, his tank was hit and disabled by a remote controlled detonation of anti-tank mines (a tactic similar to the past Iraqi insurgent use of roadside bombs). When trying to abandon the tank, he and his crew were exposed to intense enemy weapons fire. The training and traditions of West Point sustained and enabled him to do his duty. Luckily, he was only slightly wounded by the mine explosions. An extremely emotional experience for Wilson occurred when his platoon unexpectedly overran Dachau, the infamous Nazi concentration camp, where thousands of European Jews had been incarcerated and exterminated. Many were still awaiting that fate. Wilson wrote that “the starvation and gut wrenching inhumane conditions of those still incarcerated and near death were horrifying to witness. The appreciation and joy of those being liberated at that moment cannot be put into words”. Wilson’s platoon, as a part of the 20th Armored Division, is now honored as the “Liberators” in the Holocaust Museum, Washington, DC. Wilson’s military service spanned three major wars and duty in nine countries. His continuing military formal education included year-long studies at the Armored Officer’s Advanced Course and the Command and General Staff College in the employment of the Army’s largest combat and logistical units. Attendance at a specially designed course of Decision Making for Senior Officers conducted by Princeton University professors was an honor. Col. Boyles was selected for two highly privileged assignments. The first assignment was at the United States Military Academy at West Point as a Tactical Officer involving instruction of cadets in combat tactics and military leadership along with personal guid- ance to each of a designated group. The second assignment was to the Citadel staff and faculty as an Assistant Professor of Military Science while General Mark Clark was President of the Citadel and who provided inspirational leadership for all. Wilson was recognized, like so many of those dedicated and accomplished soldiers and officers with whom he had served, with awards and commendations for his service to his country. Among them are the Legion of Merit with an oak leaf cluster (denoting a second), the Army Meritorious Commendation Medal with cluster (denoting a second), a Bronze Star Medal with a “V” (denoting valor and heroic action in combat) and personal commendations for his help with the defense against the Chinese communist army by both the Republic of China’s Army Commanderin-Chief, General Peng Meng-Chi and General Huang Cheih, the personal military advisor to President Generalisimo Cheng Kai-Sheck. These awards reflected his deep personal pride in representing his country and the Army in matters of such importance. A combined military funeral service and burial was held at West Point National Cemetery. Wilson has arranged for a modest monument and inscription dedicated to his wife, Ann’s, unhesitating sacrifices and support of his military duties. He is survived by a son, Wilson III and his wife, Kathy; along with two grandchildren, Jason Boyles and Brittany Jones; and two great-grandchildren. No local service is planned. Memorials may be made to military veteran’s organizations. Ida Mae Brown Stanley Ida Mae Brown Stanley, 84, beloved wife of Joseph J.

The ruling was issued shortly after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith opened a second straight day of labor talks at a law firm in Manhattan. The court vacated an April 25 decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson that the lockout should be lifted because players were suffering irreparable harm. The appeals court had already put that order on hold and said in its ruling that Nelson ignored federal law in reaching her decision. “While we respect the court’s decision, today’s ruling does not change our mutual recognition that this matter must be resolved through negotiation,” the league and NFLPA said in a joint statement. “We are committed to our current discussions and reaching a fair agreement that will benefit all parties for years to come, and allow for a full 2011 season.” During negotiations Friday the rookie wage scale and finalizing the free agency rules were discussed, according to a person familiar with the talks who requested anonymity because details are not being announced publicly. Owners want to increase the number of unrestricted free agents on which they can exercise the right of first refusal. The appeals court ruling allows the players’ antitrust lawsuit to move forward, but the court did take issue with the NFL Players Association’s decision to decertify on March 11, a move that cleared the way for players to file their still-pending antitrust lawsuit against the league. “The league and the players’ union were parties to a collective bargaining agreement for almost eighteen years prior to March 2011,” the appeals court said in its 2-1 decision. “They were engaged in collective bargaining over terms and conditions of employment for approximately two years ... Then, on a single day, just hours before the CBA’s expiration, the union discontinued collective bargaining and disclaimed its status ....” “Whatever the effect of the union’s disclaimer on the league’s immunity from antitrust liability, the labor disPlease see NFL, B3 Michael Owen, a 2007 graduate of Eastern High School closed out an illustrious college career recently by earning All American Honors in track.

The question now is whether it will be enough to save Ohio State football from more severe penalties in an upcoming trip to see the NCAA committee on infractions. In response to NCAA violations committed by football players who traded autographs and memorabilia for cash and tattoos — and by a coach who covered it up — Ohio State issued its official response on Friday. Athletic director Gene Smith hoped it would appease the NCAA ethics police. The measures taken by the school included vacating all the Buckeyes’ wins from last season, a year in which Ohio State captured a record-tying sixth straight Big Ten title and won an unprecedented seventh straight game over Michigan. “All I know is that this is significant,” Smith said. “A lot of people may not view it that way externally, but this is significant. When you think about all the other athletes who participated in those games, those records will be gone. ... “Might the NCAA do Fred Squillante/Columbus Dispatch/MCT Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) watches the confetti swirl around him Sugar Bowl at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Tuesday, January 4. more? I just can’t speculate on that.” Tressel found out in April 2010 that his players were taking improper benefits from a local tattoo-parlor owner. Despite contractual and NCAA obligations to report it, he didn’t tell anyone at the university or the NCAA for more than nine months. And what was just a fivegame suspension for five players suddenly blossomed into a major violation that included a coach knowingly play- ing ineligible players throughout the 2010 season. “Coach Tressel acknowledged that when he received the information, he knew the players could not sell the memorabilia or receive preferential treatment,” Tressel said through his attorney in response to the allegations. “He also understood that the university policy called for him to notify the compliance office regarding possible violations. He has explained his think- ing at the time, but offers no excuses here for his decisions.” In a reversal, Ohio State — which earlier said it had asked for Tressel’s resignation on May 30 — said Friday it had now agreed to allow him to call it a retirement. The school also said he did not have to pay a $250,000 fine levied against him for his actions. On top of that, Tressel will receive the last month of his Please see OSU, B4 Christian Brand wins W.Va. Amateur Mason’s Trent Roush finishes tied for ninth WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Charleston’s Christian Brand needed no nail-biting finish, cruising to his first West Virginia Amateur title by nine strokes at The Greenbrier resort, But there was some drama afterward. Brand, a former Marshall golfer, shot a 1-over-par 71 on the Greenbrier course Friday to finish at even par. Hurricane’s Sam O’Dell and Fairmont’s Jess Ferrell were tied for second at 9 over. The 23-year-old Brand earned an exemption into this month’s PGA Tour’s Greenbrier Classic. “That’s going to be awesome,” Brand said. “I don’t know exactly how great it’s going to be. I just know it’s going to be a once-in-alife experience and I’m going to take advantage of it.” Greenbrier owner Jim Justice also gave an exemption to the state Amateur runner-up, which will be used next year since the state Amateur will be played after the PGA event. Because O’Dell and Ferrell finished tied for second — with O’Dell making eagle on the par-5 18th — they ended up into a playoff to determine the PGA spot. Ferrell beat O’Dell on the first extra hole to earn the exemption for the 2012 Greenbrier Classic. O’Dell said entering the final round that he would need a fast start to make up a five-stroke deficit to Brand. It didn’t happen. O’Dell bogeyed Nos. 2 and 3 and made triplebogey at the par-3 fourth to fall 11 shots back and out of contention. That left Ferrell with the only chance of catching Brand. Ferrell, playing in the last group with O’Dell and Brand, birdied the par-5 third hole to cut the deficit to seven. But Brand simply had too big of a cushion and wasn’t about to let go of it. “”I just kind of tried to play my own game,” Brand said. “Once Sam had trouble early, I just thought more about playing my own game and finishing with the best score possible. Brand made three bogeys over a six-hole stretch spanning both nines, but it didn’t matter. “I’ve always dreamed and thought about what it would be like,” Brand said. “The feeling’s great to finally win.” Brand improved on a third-place finish in last year’s tournament. Without defending champion Jonathan Bartlett — who moved to Rhode Island — and three-time champion Tim Fisher — who’s on a one-year suspension — the title was there for the taking. And one by one, Brand’s nearest competition fell by the wayside. Anthony Reale, the 2007 champion, didn’t make the cut. Twelvetime champion Pat Carter couldn’t muster any under-par rounds and finished tied for 12th along with firstround co-leader Nathaniel Begley. Wheeling’s Joey Seabright had the only under-par round Friday but he finished tied for fourth with Wheeling’s Bryan Myers 11 strokes back. NCAA places WVU on 2 years’ probation CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The NCAA said Friday it has accepted West Virginia’s self-imposed sanctions that include two years’ probation for major rules violations under former coaches Rich Rodriguez and Bill Stewart. The report by the NCAA infractions committee said three failureto-monitor violations occurred involving outof-season coaching and the use of non-coaching staff to work with players. Under the sanctions released Friday, the Mountaineers will lose a scholarship for the upcoming season and have recruiting restrictions and staff reductions. The probation doesn’t include postseason play. “I am pleased that the Committee accepted the self-imposed penalties the University proposed, without imposing any additional ones,” West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck said in a statement. “The University has already taken corrective action and put new systems in place to address all the issues raised.” The infractions committee didn’t decide the Mountaineers failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance with NCAA rules, an initial allegation made by the NCAA last year. Rodriguez avoided the same finding during an earlier, separate investigation at Michigan, which in May 2010 admitted it had committed a series of violations related to practice time and coaching activities. Michigan fired Rodriguez in January. The case was resolved through the summary disposition process instead of a formal hearing. The NCAA said WVU exceeded coaching staff limits when it allowed staff members, graduate assistants and a student assistant coach to participate in coaching activities both on and off the field. That included five video graduate assistants who monitored or conducted skills-development drills and attended position meetings where they worked directly with coaches. “Their participation qualified them as countable coaches and the program therefore exceeded its allowable number of coaches,” the NCAA said. That led to the failureto-monitor violations levied against Rodriguez, Stewart and the school. Rodriguez and Stewart have acknowledged failing to adequately monitor the duties and activities of the staffers involved, and WVU also acknowledged failing to properly monitor the activities of Rodriguez, Stewart and their staffs, the NCAA said.

Sunday, July 10, 2011 Buckeyes try their best to focus on football COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The weight room has been a place to retreat for the Ohio State Buckeyes this summer. Going through workouts, the Buckeyes have tried to shut out all the bad news stemming from an NCAA investigation into a memorabilia-for-cash and tattoos scandal that has cost Ohio State its coach and its quarterback. Jim Tressel resigned in May and soon after that QB Terrelle Pryor decided to give up his senior season for a shot at the NFL. Suddenly, the Buckeyes aren’t just getting themselves ready to run and tackle and block; they’re also surrounded by people who want to know what went wrong and how this will all end. “You stay focused. You have tunnel vision,” linebacker Andrew Sweat said Wednesday. “Obviously, people are entitled to their opinion but you just move forward.” From inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, it’s also been easier not to think about the impending NCAA sanctions that could take away the goals of playing for a Big Ten title or going to a bowl game. The players are attempting to ignore the outside world, and all the talk about what was done or wasn’t done. When it comes right down to it, each player is responsible for taking care of his own business. And a player’s business is just getting ready for another season. The Buckeyes are trying to eliminate emotion from the equation. “If you let stuff anger you, and stuff out in the media affect what you do on a normal day, especially because we’re in here every day, it’s going to affect you and it’s going to affect the way you train,” fullback Zach Boren said. “We kind of let everything go — in one ear and out the other kind of a thing.” Tressel has been replaced by interim coach Luke Fickell, formerly Ohio State’s linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator. But no one really expects the Buckeyes to change much for the upcoming season. Preseason drills have followed the familiar template that was laid down the previous 10 seasons under Tressel. The rhythm to the fast approaching season also hasn’t changed: Freshmen report on Aug. 6, veterans show up a day later, the first official practice of the preseason is Aug. 8. The opening game of the season is Sept. 3 at noon against Akron at Ohio Stadium. But before that, Ohio State goes before the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Aug. 12. That group will decide in the following weeks whether the current Buckeyes get to play for a Big Ten title — this is the first season for a conference championship game between the two new divisions — or if they will get to play in a bowl game.

It’s really out of our hands right now. All we can do is worry about Akron and starting the season off.” Besides, with the Buckeyes losing all but three players who started on defense in the 31-26 win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl, there are plenty of opportunities out there. On offense, the Buckeyes are missing four starters — but have been heavily hit by suspensions. Leading-rusher Dan “Boom” Herron, No. 2 receiver DeVier Posey and starting left tackle Mike Adams are among four players (backup defensive lineman Solomon Thomas is the other) who will sit out the first five games for accepting cash and discounted tattoos from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. Pryor was also scheduled to sit out those games before he bolted for a possible supplemental draft. Those left behind will try to make the most of the situation and to keep their heads up. “I preach to the younger players if you don’t get better each and every day then none of your goals are going to happen,” Sweat said. “I try to just preach on being humble to young guys.

And the new owner of the Texas Rangers has had a goal of helping create cherished memories for families, for fathers and sons attending games together. A Texas firefighter’s trip to a Rangers game with his 6-year-old son turned tragic when Shannon Stone tumbled over a railing after reaching out and catching a foul ball tossed his way by reigning AL MVP Josh Hamilton, his son’s favorite player. Stone plunged about 20 feet onto the concrete below Thursday night and died about an hour later. The accident stunned players and fans alike, and it left a 36year-old widow worried about how the boy, Cooper Stone, will recover from watching his father fall. Shannon Stone’s mother, Suzann Stone, told The Associated Press that her son and young Cooper had gone to the game in hopes of catching a ball in the stands. They even stopped on the way to Arlington to buy a new glove for the boy. “That’s what they were there for was to catch a ball,” the 63-year-old mother said Friday, choking back sobs. “Cooper loves baseball and he’s a big Josh Hamilton fan. Had his jersey.” A moment of silence was planned before the Rangers and Oakland Athletics played the second game of their fourgame series Friday night, and players for both teams were planning to wear black ribbons on their uniforms. “This just happens to be a situation that turned into a great tragedy,” Ryan said Friday, the flags at Rangers Ballpark at half-staff and a black tarpaulin covering the gap where Stone fell. “It’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen at the ballpark. ... As a father and a grandfather, my heart goes out for that family.” At the request of the Stone family, MLB.com has not posted video of the accident. Ryan said he spoke by telephone Friday with Jenny Stone, the firefighter’s widow in Brownwood, about 150 miles away from Arlington. “She’s very concerned about her son and the impact that this is having on him,” Ryan said. “She asked if I could do anything about the video footage that is being shown.” Replays showed the boy watching his 6-foot3 father stretch and reach out to grab the ball and then falling through a gap of several feet between the left-field seats and the 14-foot-high outfield wall that has a video scoreboard on it. Suzann Stone said she was watching the game. “Cooper told me where they were sitting so I could look for him on television,” she said, adding that she was not watching when her son fell. “I missed it. I didn’t see it.” City officials said the building code requires the guardrails to be at least 26 inches high. Ed Dryden, Arlington’s building official, said railings throughout the park are 33 inches high. Dryden and Jim Parajon, the city’s director of community development and planning, said they made sure on Friday that the railings where Stone fell were up to code. “It is a very tragic situation and we feel for the family of the victim,” Parajon said. Major League Baseball promised a review of the incident “to ensure a safe environment for our fans.” John McHale Jr., MLB’s executive vice president of administration, said there is no centralized process for overseeing safety at ballparks and Stone’s death may change that. “I think the enormity of this tragedy requires we create a process, if there isn’t one already,” he said. “I think we’re going to communicate as closely as we can with the Rangers to find out what happened and to share that information with the other clubs.” He said most safety issues are left to the clubs. “There are building codes, there are local ordinances and the clubs are responsible with complying,” he said. “We have a history of trying to control balls thrown in the stands centrally and I think that probably didn’t work, so we rely on the clubs to make their own decisions on how that should be done or not done in their ballpark.” The accident was similar to one almost exactly a year earlier. Tyler Morris, a firefighter from the Lake Cities Fire Department near Dallas, fractured his skull and sprained an ankle on July 6, 2010, after falling about 30 feet from the second deck of seats down the right-field line while trying to catch a foul ball. “The fact that we’ve had two in the last year is disturbing,” Ryan said. “As an organization we are going to looking into this because our No. 1 concern is the safety of our fans. We’ll do whatever we have to do to make this stadium as safe as we possibly can for our fans.” After the accident last year, Ryan said the team did a study of the railings. He said the team felt the safety was adequate, but wasn’t prepared to say if any changes might be made now. It was the second fatal fall at a major league stadium this season. In May, a 27-year-old man died after he fell about 20 feet and struck his head on concrete during a Colorado Rockies game. Witnesses told police that the man had been trying to slide down a staircase railing at Coors Field and lost his balance. Ryan said grief counseling was available for players if they needed to talk to anybody about what happened in the second inning of the Rangers’ 6-0 win over Oakland. Players were informed of the fan’s death after the game, when the Texas clubhouse was closed to reporters. “This is really just one of those freak accidents that happen, it’s definitely an accident,” Ryan said. He also said the Rangers Foundation was setting up a memorial account for Stone and are making a significant donation to start it. NFL appointees did in two earlier decisions. Judge Kermit Bye, appointed by a Democrat, dissented both times, favoring the players, and he did so again Friday. Bye had urged settlement of the dispute to avoid a ruling “both sides aren’t going to like.” The two sides have been meeting for weeks to try to reach a new labor pact. On Friday, NFLPA executive board President Kevin Mawae and owners John Mara of the New York Giants and Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys joined Goodell and Smith for more negotiations. On Thursday, talks stretched on for more than 12 hours, deep into the evening. Some training camps are set to open in two weeks and the first exhibition game, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions, is Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio, between Chicago and St. Louis. commitment to compliance in all that we do,” Luck said. Rodriguez led West Virginia, his alma mater, to two Bowl Championship Series berths and a 60-26 record in seven seasons before taking over at Michigan in December 2007. He left West Virginia two weeks after the Mountaineers lost to Pittsburgh in the 2007 regular-season finale and failed to secure a spot in the national championship game. Stewart was named head coach after leading the Mountaineers to the Fiesta Bowl win after the 2007 season as interim coach. Stewart went 28-12 in three seasons at WVU but failed to earn a Bowl Championship Series berth. He agreed to resign on June 10 and was replaced by coachin-waiting Dana Holgorsen.

The Miami Heat star is changing the scope of his annual bike-a-thon in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, scrubbing its former “King for Kids” moniker to now call the event “Wheels for Education” and building it around a two-week camp featuring reading and technology classes for 360 children about to enter third grade. This year’s bike event, a 2.6-mile ride where James will be accompanied by 20 selected high-school students, is Aug. 8. “We’re looking to continue to create awareness for these young kids,” James, who founded the bike event in 2005, told The Associated Press. “Not only in this community, but in the world. Me having an influence with my voice, I’m blessed. So the No. 1 thing is creating awareness and I think this gives us an opportunity to make sure these kids not only get educated but have fun and being around people that can have a positive influence in their life.” James has said several times that ensuring children get through school is one of his biggest awayfrom-basketball priorities. He did not attend college, jumping directly to the NBA after finishing high school in 2003. He has already partnered with State Farm on an initiative called “26 Seconds,” a nod to the statistic that, on average, one child drops out of school within that timeframe. In a telephone interview from Akron, where he’s spending part of his summer, James cited research suggesting third-grade academic achievement can be an indicator of how students will fare through the remainder of their scholastic careers. The Wheels for Education program will be concentrated on kids who were like James — hailing from single-parent homes and sometimes simply needing a bit of extra help. “What helped me in school was sports,” James said. “When I was 8, 9, that was the first time I started playing organized sports and I had coaches around me that stressed education and not being allowed to play if we weren’t doing our schoolwork or being at school on time, things like that.” As for the questions that kids ask — and they do — about why they need college if James didn’t, he has a quick reply for them. “I’m still learning,” James said. “Every day. I’m learning business. I’m learning finance. I’m learning a lot of things that help me in everyday life. I’m doing a lot of reading and I’m still improving as a student, even though I am a professional athlete.” Once a child completes the two-week camp this summer, he or she will receive a laptop, school supplies and a bike, made possible by HP, Nike and the LeBron James Family Foundation, among others. Plans call for the kids involved to continue getting support through their high school graduations, through another partnership with the Akron Public Schools. “I’ve had the pleasure of watching LeBron grow as a player, and mature as a philanthropist,” Akron Mayor Donald Plusquellic said in a press release. “His new commitment to the Akron After School program is an investment that will pay dividends years to come because there is no investment more important than in the children whose circumstances he knows so well. ... He continues to be a role model for our youth for his accomplishments on and off the court.” James said one of the program’s goals for this year is to have the thirdgraders all reading at what would be at least a fourthgrade level. He’s also busy with a number of other initiatives with kids this summer, mainly revolving around basketball: The LeBron James Skills Academy, which brings the nation’s top 80 high school players, opened in Akron on Tuesday. “I let them ask me whatever they want to,” James said. “Everything. Using my influence, using my experience, I can help them. And it’s not always about basketball.” Also on James’ docket this summer: His “King’s Academy” for kids age 717 starts in San Diego later this month, and he’ll be on a Nike trip to China in August. The one-year anniversary of James’ decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join the Heat was Friday. It seems so long ago now. For one, the NBA just entered a lockout, meaning next season is officially in jeopardy. A deal between owners and players could not be reached before a June 30 expiration of the most recent labor deal, and the sides are billions apart in their financial proposals. And for the Heat, the first season of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh together as Miami teammates ended with a loss in the NBA finals.

Dakota, NCAA A ‘Rocket’ that never should have launched champ UMD to leave WCHA MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — College hockey is headed toward another conference shakeup. The Western Collegiate Hockey Association will lose five more members to a new league in two years, a drastic impact on the sport first reported by the Grand Forks H e r a l d (http://bit.ly/p80i90 ). The newspaper, citing multiple unnamed sources, reported on its website Thursday afternoon that Colorado College, Denver, reigning NCAA champion Minnesota Duluth, Nebraska-Omaha and North Dakota will leave to create a new conference for the 2013-14 season with current Central Collegiate Hockey Association member Miami of Ohio. The landscape of college hockey was already significantly altered this year when the Big Ten announced the plan to form a hockey conference in two seasons, taking Minnesota and Wisconsin from the 50year-old league to play with Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State of the CCHA and the startup program at Penn State. The Herald also reported that the new league, which could also include Notre Dame, is expected to be formally announced next Wednesday. The new league would leave the WCHA with only five teams, Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State in Mankato and St. Cloud State, none of which has the revenue-producing power or rich tradition of programs like Denver, Minnesota or North Dakota. The new league would also leave the CCHA in the same position, with perhaps as few as five teams — and none of the marquee programs — remaining if Notre Dame and another school decide to leave and give the new league eight teams. The Omaha WorldHerald also reported the formation of the new league, citing an unnamed source (http://bit.ly/qObSXg ). “We are aware of rumors but have seen nothing officially released yet,” WCHA spokesman Doug Spencer told The Associated Press in an e-mail. “Until that time, and until the league feels it is appropriate, the WCHA will reserve comment.” Officials from the five remaining WCHA schools are expected to meet next week to discuss their future. Minnesota State head coach Troy Jutting declined to comment on the reports. “I don’t involve myself with speculation,” Jutting said. North Dakota athletics director Brian Faison declined to comment, through a school spokesman. Minnesota Duluth athletics director Bob Nielson didn’t immediately return messages seeking comment. Denver spokesman Erich Bacher said the university is exploring its options. Head coach George Gwozdecky told the Denver Post T h u r s d a y (http://bit.ly/rd5FFQ ) the Pioneers want to be aligned with schools of “like-minded thinking” and operations. Gwozdecky told the newspaper Denver has been involved in realignment discussions but its intention “is to continue to be a strong partner with the other members of the WCHA while process continues.” OSU “These seem to be quite consistent.” The scandal unfolded in two stages. First, OSU officials were told of the memorabilia trading and sales in December and suspended five players for the first five games of 2011 and one player for the opener. They had frequented a tattoo parlor and had sold autographs, signed equipment, championship rings and even a bowl sportsmanship award — all contrary to NCAA bylaws which prevent athletes from profiting off their name or fame. Then in January, the university learned that Tressel had known about the violations since April 2010. After backing him for weeks, the university pressured him to resign on Memorial Day. Smith said a continual drumbeat of revelations and allegations all but forced Ohio State to “separate” from Tressel. He said he was stunned when he learned of Tressel’s deception. “In the moment, yes, I felt betrayed. Why not bring that to me?” Smith said. “But I’ve gone on.” Officials said Friday they believed they’d uncovered all possible violations by football players. “You never know, but we’ve done a lot of due diligence,” said John Bruno, faculty athletics representative. “We looked weeks to months to find something else and nothing has come up.” Pryor was among the original group of players who was suspended for the first five games of this year. But he left OSU to try his luck in the NFL soon after Tressel quit. The NCAA added a five-game suspension for yet another player earlier this week. The current Buckeyes almost seem to be expecting more severe penalties. “We’re only promised 12 games,” safety Orhian Johnson said this week. Interim coach Luke Fickell said his players, in the midst of summer conditioning, have accepted many of the changes he has implemented in the program but no one knows how they’ll respond when the sanctions are finalized. “I think they’re buying in but you don’t know,” he said. “Until other adversity and other situations happen, you’ll see what happens.” from Page B1 base pay ($54,000), has agreed to cooperate when Ohio State goes before the NCAA infractions committee on Aug. 12, and both he and the university agreed that they wouldn’t sue each other. Just last month Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee vowed that Tressel “will pay the fine.” Tressel’s attorney, Gene Marsh, confirmed to The Associated Press earlier Friday that the former coach, who led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national title, would be on hand in Indianapolis when Ohio State gets its day with the NCAA. Smith said there was no evidence whatsoever that anyone at Ohio State other than Tressel had any knowledge of the players’ violations before January of this year. The response to the NCAA doesn’t mean Ohio State’s woes are over. The governing body for college sports could still impose tougher sanctions, such as a ban on postseason play and a reduction in scholarships. The NCAA is expected to hand down its sanctions six to eight weeks after the August hearing. Even though many Buckeyes fans blame the school’s compliance department for the violations, Smith said it had done its job. He promised adjustments to how athletes are monitored and educated, but said he was not displeased with compliance director Doug Archie or anyone else on his staff. He said compliance would use “a lot of different strategies” to do a better job. In arriving at the selfimposed penalties, faculty athletic representative John Bruno said Ohio State surveyed other cases. “We’ve looked at precedents around the nation for similar types of violations and sanctions that were imposed, either by the (NCAA) or self-imposed,” he said. #3 Sweetwater Dealer in the USA in 2010! Regular viewers of CSPAN might be surprised to learn that you can actually go to jail for lying to Congress. So the perjury trial of Roger Clemens, if nothing else, should serve as a cautionary tale. While lawmakers might not mind deceiving each other — let alone the rest of us — about a wide range of issues, they’re in no hurry to extend that privilege to anyone else. In April, Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl got caught telling a whopper about Planned Parenthood, which he tried to walk back in a subsequent statement by explaining it was “not intended to be a factual statement.” That won’t work for Clemens. With jury selection set to begin Wednesday in Washington, D.C., Clemens is charged with six felony counts for telling a House Committee under oath in 2008 that he never used steroids or human growth hormone during a star-studded career. What’s sad is how easily the whole mess could have been avoided. After being implicated in MLB’s Mitchell Report, Clemens could have denied using performance-enhancers in a forum of his own choosing and quietly slipped into retirement while the debated raged on; or else, admitted using PEDs and then asked for forgiveness, the way close pal, former teammate and potential witness Andy Pettitte did. Instead, Clemens begged Congress to make a federal case out of it. Even after former U.S. Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the ranking Republican on the committee at the time, assured Clemens that his testimony behind closed doors would have been sufficient. But that was not the Rocket’s style. “Somebody is trying to break my spirit in this room,” Clemens said during testimony that February day three years ago, refusing to so much as glance at Brian McNamee, his former trainer and principal accuser. “And they’re not going to break my spirit.” Maybe not. Jim Litke But McNamee’s version of their decade together has already made a sizable dent in his former employer’s wallet, mostly to cover lawyer Rusty Hardin’s legal fees, which could charitably be described as throwing good money after bad. Under Hardin’s counsel, Clemens played a secretly recorded phone conversation for reporters in which he came off sounding like a budding Mafioso, then stormed out of his own hastily arranged news conference because he didn’t like the line of questioning. Then there was Hardin’s veiled threat against federal agent and investigator Jeff Novitzky — “If he ever messes with Roger, Roger will eat his lunch.” And just for good measure, a defamation lawsuit against McNamee that was effectively laughed out of court. Hardin, though, wasn’t kidding when he laid out the centerpiece of his legal strategy in a pretrial hearing Tuesday, arguing that McNamee began planning to blackmail his client in 2001. The trainer was questioned by local police that year — but never charged — after allegations that he drugged and raped a woman in a Florida hotel pool while on a trip with the Yankees. McNamee’s contract with the club was not renewed after the investigation, which according to Hardin, prompted the trainer to begin fabricating evidence against Clemens so that the pitcher would keep him on as a personal trainer. The lawyer said Clemens did so, anyway, but that McNamee kept swabs, gauze pads and syringes with Clemens’ DNA on them, then added the PEDs himself just in case. Throughout the longrunning drama, McNamee has come off as neither a sympathetic figure nor a trustworthy one, despite working for the New York City police force before becoming a trainer. During his appearance before the House Committee, he was derided by a few Republican members as a liar, cheat, drug dealer and even mocked for using the title “doctor” in business dealings after getting his Ph.D. from a diploma mill. But McNamee’s story from that day forward has never changed. “I told the investigators I injected three people — two of whom I know confirmed my account,” he said then, referring to Clemens’ teammates, Pettitte and Chuck Knoblauch. “The third is sitting at this table.” U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton withheld a final decision on whether to allow those two and other exYankees to testify, which would hurt the prosecution’s case, or if the defense can introduce the rape allegations against McNamee stemming from the incident in Florida. Considering the chainof-custody problems inherent in the evidence that McNamee gave federal investigators shortly after his testimony before Congress, the case likely will be largely a repeat of the he-said, he-said battle the two have waged in public ever since. If you’re looking to set the early betting line, this might be as good place as any to start. During his goround at the 2008 hearing, U.S. Rep Elijah Cummings of Maryland looked directly at Clemens and said, “If I walked in here, and it was even-steven, you and Mr. McNamee, I must admit that the person I believe most “is Mr. Pettitte.” When the TV cameras caught up with him again this week, three years on, Cummings said something else about Clemens that had the ring of truth. “He asked for it, and he got it. And I believe he got a lot more than he bargained for.” Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

He just doesn’t look it. Chisenhall broke a nasal bone on the right side of his face when he was struck by a 90 mph fastball Thursday night, an injury that looked horrifying but turned out not to be as serious as feared. He may only miss a few games. As his teammates took batting practice before Friday’s game against Toronto, Chisenhall wore a pair of dark sunglasses as he pressed an ice pack on his swollen face and reclined on a leather couch in Cleveland’s clubhouse. He was not available for comment. “He looks like he’s gone a couple rounds with Mike Tyson,” Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said. “Otherwise he feels fine, which is a good thing.” Chisenhall was drilled by Toronto’s Carlos Villanueva, whose inside pitch in the second inning smashed off the right ear flap on Chisenhall’s batting helmet, The ball ricocheted off and hit the rookie third baseman near his nose. Chisenhall visited the Cleveland Clinic where an ear, nose and throat specialist, who confirmed a “non-displaced maxillary sinus fracture,” Soloff said. Chisenhall was also seen by an ophthalmologist. Chisenhall’s eye was not injured and he did not sustain a concussion. He missed playing time earlier this season at Triple-A Columbus because of a concussion he sustained while sliding. The Indians only expect Chisenhall to be sidelined for a few days. “As soon as the inflammation around his eye resolves, he’ll be ready to play again,” Soloff said. “If he’s not available in the next three days than he will be after All-Star break.” Soloff said the club is exploring options for Chisenhall to wear a mask or a helmet with a protective bar when he returns. Indians manager Manny Acta was relieved that the injury was not more serious. “When I saw blood coming out of his nose and a scratch on his cheekbone where the ball hit the flap, I was worried,” Acta said. “I was thinking there was some kind of fracture and that is always dangerous. I’m very relieved there is no concussion because the kid just had one. But when I went out there, I could see that he knew what was going on and that wasn’t a problem.” Chisenhall, who was recalled from the Clippers on June 22, is batting .267 with one homer and two RBIs in nine games. The 21-yearold and former firstround pick in 2008 is considered the top hitting prospect in Cleveland’s organization. Billie Jean King on new knees and boomer fitness NEW YORK (AP) — Billie Jean King is back playing tennis in Central Park with gusto after double-knee replacement surgery. And at 67, she’s encouraging all ages — especially baby boomers — to exercise and stay fit. But she also says it’s OK to forgive yourself if you can’t match the workouts you did when you were young. King, who inspired a generation of women and men to pick up a racket in the 1970s, didn’t play tennis for nearly two years before getting new knees. She needed about a year of rehabilitation, working out for 2? hours, five days a week to regain the strength and range of motion to get back on the court. When the pain was intense, she imagined “a bright, sunny day in my head. And I pictured hitting the first tennis ball again.” King realized that goal last year at Wimbledon, four months after surgery. She sneaked onto Court 16 and hit a few shots with friend Roz Fairbank while her partner Ilana Kloss snapped pictures. This year, King celebrates the 50th anniversary of her first Wimbledon doubles victory. She went on to win a record 20 Wimbledon titles in singles, doubles and mixed, and on Monday, she was photographed at Wimbledon sitting behind Prince William and Kate Middleton in the Royal Box. To stay in shape these days, the 39-time Grand Slam winner heads to the neighborhood gym and public tennis courts. She doesn’t use a personal trainer because she travels so much, hitting the hotel gym instead. She recently traveled in a two-week span to Philadelphia, back to New York, then to Washington, D.C., while promoting her World Team Tennis league, which features Serena and Venus Williams, 52year-old John McEnroe and other stars in nine cities from July 4-24. Here King shares her insights on working out, the proper mental approach and diet. Her advice for boomers? Increase the frequency, lower the intensity and listen to your body. —What is your exercise routine? King: “My age group should do a half-hour, five days a week. What that means is I’m walk- Jose Carlos Fajardo/Contra Costa Times/MCT Billie Jean King watches the final of the Bank of the West Classic at Stanford University on Sunday, August 1, 2010, in Stanford, California. Azarenka defeated Sharapova 6-4, 6-1. ing, doing the bike, lifting weights or playing tennis. I love it when Ilana and I go to Central Park and play tennis. It’s fantastic. I go to Equinox to do lower and upper body stuff. Do a lot for my back — I need to be doing a lot for my core. I do the leg presses, the leg curls, abductor and adductor. I have a bike at home, so worse comes to worst, that’s my backup. I’ll turn on the TV and pedal.” —This was your eighth knee surgery. What was life like before the double-knee replacement? King: “I got to the point I couldn’t even walk two blocks. I had my first operation at 23 when I was No. 1 in the world, and it’s been downhill ever since in terms of function. I used to take a taxi (two blocks) to get to my workout. My life was closing in on me. It kept getting less and less, and then it was really getting disheartening. Now I’m pain-free, if I want to play tennis or take a walk in the park. I’m going through this mindset change now. It’s amazing. My first kneejerk reaction is ‘Oh, I can’t — oh, yes I can do that.’ I can go up and down stairs. I wouldn’t be able to do that a year ago.” —How has your thinking and approach to fitness and exercise changed over the years? King: “The most important thing is frequency. You don’t have to do as much as you think. Like walking 30 minutes, five times a week is good. I would never increase more than 10 percent at a time. People will do 20 minutes on the bike and the next day they’ll do 40. E-mail us your community news and photos!

Coming back from this knee replacement, I had to really think in degrees, literally (in terms of knee bend). It’s important to play more tennis, but play half an hour to 45 minutes instead of trying to play an hour and half. Instead of doing marathons, do a 10K. Listen to your body, what’s going on with your joints, your muscles. I know boomers are into fitness, and taking good care of themselves. And now they’re at the age they still want to be active. (They say) ‘I want to still play tennis and do this and keep running.’ They’re pretty demanding. Which is good, because that’s why we’re living as long as we are.” —What’s your role as a member of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition? King: “It’s amazing being on this council. There’s Michelle Kwan, Grant Hill, Chris Paul and doctors. Our job is to get the word out. You can’t believe the findings with exercise and taking tests at school or reading or math tests. They go way up. If they’re going to take an SAT, they have the kids work out for 20 minutes and they take it immediately because the circulation is going, the brain’s got more oxygen. They do much better on tests. Now we have the scientific stuff behind it. I knew it before, because I knew how I felt. But now we have the scientific stuff to back it up.” Thyroid and Belly Fat?

If you’re out of shape, don’t do that. Figure out ways to keep your motivation. On days I’m not motivated, I will say, ‘OK, just get on the bike or walk for 5 minutes, and if you want to stop, fine.’ I give myself permission. I’ve only once in my whole lifetime stopped, when I realized I was sick. Every other time I end up doing at least 25-30 minutes. So then it’s done for the day, it’s great. I would go without exercising if I wasn’t careful.” —What are your eating habits like these days? King: “I try to cut down on carbs. I’m older, my metabolic rate probably is not as fast. I figure I’m burning three calories a minute on the bike. I’m not as intense as I used to be, so that makes a difference. It suppresses your appetite to go slowly on the bike or walk and go longer. I was playing senior tennis (after retirement) for a while but then I gained a huge amount of weight. Then I went on Nutrisystem, that really helped me lose. I lost 35 pounds. Then I got too thin with the knee stuff, and now I’m a little overweight. So it’s hard for me to get to where I want to all the time. I struggle.” —You were a bit of a perfectionist on the court. Do you forgive yourself for the limitations of age or stress about it? King: “It’s a blessing for me to walk on the court.

Point Pleasant softball wins 10-and-under championship CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians have brought up infielder Luis Valbuena from TripleA Columbus. Valbuena filled the roster spot left open when pitcher Zach McAllister was optioned to the Clippers after pitching four innings in his major league debut Thursday night. This is Valbuena’s second stint with the Indians this season. He played in 91 games for Cleveland last year, batting just .193 in 91 games. He’s been swinging the bat well for Columbus, hitting .313 with 12 homers and 56 RBIs in 77 International League games. He has played 46 games at shortstop, 11 games at both third base and left field and five games at second. He was with the Indians on May 19-20, but did not play. UFL’s Nighthawks add Clarett to roster OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha Nighthawks have added Maurice Clarett to the active roster. The United Football League team announced the move Thursday. Clarett spent last season with the team, calling it a chance to rebuild his life. The former Ohio State star was suspended by the NCAA for taking improper inducements, failed to make it in the NFL, then spent 3 1/2 years in prison for having a hidden gun and holding up two people outside a Columbus, Ohio, bar in 2006. Clarett spent most of last season backing up Ahman Green as he got back into shape. The Nighthawks finished 3-5 after losing their last four games.

COLUMBIA, MD — Battlefield Telecommunications Systems (BTS) CEO Sean Lane, originally of Gallipolis, has been chosen as the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 Maryland Award winner in the government category. The prestigious awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate extraordinary success and personal commitment to their business and community. “It is truly an honor to receive this award in the company of such an inspiring group of Maryland’s business leaders,” said Lane. “We started BTS because we knew we could make a real difference in improving battlefield communications and that we could improve and possibly save the lives of those with whom we served when we were in the military. Since it was the men and women in uniform who inspired me to start BTS, I dedicate this award to all of them and their families.” As a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, Lane started BTS to help address what he believed was a critical need on the battlefield — the need to move intelligence data quickly in areas with limited or no connectivity. Since its formation in 2008, Lane has established BTS as a leading provider of tactical 3G/4G cellular communications technologies for the U.S. Government and private sector. “Ernst & Young has honored outstanding entrepreneurs like this year’s winners for the past 25 years,” said Harry Thomasian, Ernst & Young LLP Entrepreneur Of The Year Maryland Program Director. “These business leaders have accomplished so much and contributed a tremendous amount to the community. They give us hope for what the next 25 years of entrepreneurs will bring.” Lane was selected by an independent panel of judges, and the award was presented at a gala event at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront on June 23. As a Maryland award winner, he is eligible for consideration for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 National Award. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the overall Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year National Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala, hosted by Jay Leno, in Palm Springs, Calif., on November 12. Additional information about BTS is available at www.UnleashBTS.com.

Ohio shop’s gorilla mascot attacked by banana STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The manager of a cell phone store in Ohio called 911 to report a gorilla had been attacked by a banana. The Wireless Center in Strongsville, near Cleveland, advertises at curbside with a man in a gorilla suit. Manager Brandon Parham says he was watching last week as a kid dressed as a banana emerged from some bushes and took a flying leap at the store mascot. Parham says the attacker looked like a Spartan from the movie “300” — except he was a banana. The gorilla was knocked down but got back up, adjusted his head and went back to work. WJW-TV reports the banana split — running down the street with other teens. Police think it was a prank. They weren’t able to find the offending fruit.
