At this week’s council meeting, Councilwoman Ruth Spaun expressed her concern not enough was being done to find Hysell’s replacement as the clock begins to tick. Spaun suggested placing a classified ad for possible replacements with Mayor John Musser saying he’d received one application for the job so far. Hysell said the Ohio Auditor of State’s Office will send temporary help (a visiting clerk) to assist with its mandatory accounting program if needed. Hysell’s elected term ends in March 2012 and after the term is up, council already has an ordinance in place which will eliminate the elected position for the appointed, full-time position of fiscal officer. As for the sale of the old Pomeroy High School, village council has gone back to the drawing board and had Village Solicitor Chris Tenoglia draw up a new ordinance for the sale. The ordinance will require three readings and advertisement for five weeks. Mayor John Musser said Tenoglia has finished the ordinance and it should be voted on at the next meeting.

Jim Jordan, a former wrestling champion from Ohio who is becoming a driving force in the debt debate on Capitol Hill. Jordan’s district is right next to Speaker John Boehner’s in the western part of Ohio, but ideologically, he is miles apart from the Republican leader. As Boehner and his lieutenants scrambled Tuesday for votes for the speaker’s latest debt bill, Jordan announced at a news conference that he opposed the package, and he boldly predicted the speaker didn’t have enough Republican votes to pass it. Tuesday night, GOP leaders postponed a vote planned for Wednesday as they worked to rewrite the package. “If you look at this, it’s about a $7 billion reduction in spending from what we’re currently at,” Jordan said. “We advocated something much more than that.” Boehner’s plan promised spending cuts in excess of $1 trillion over the next decade in exchange for raising the debt ceiling by a slightly smaller amount. It also would establish a committee of lawmakers to recommend additional budget savings next year in exchange for extending the government’s borrowing authority through 2012. “We also have real concerns about the commission, the idea that on a 12-member commission, six Democrats and one Republican decide they want to raise taxes, you can’t keep that off the floor,” Jordan said. “It comes to the floor, and then there’s a potential tax increase.” A member of the House for only four years, Jordan, 47, won the chairmanship of the Republican Study Committee, the conservative voice of the GOP caucus, after the party wrested control of the House from Democrats in last November’s election. With more than 175 members, the group includes a majority of House Republicans. On Wednesday, Jordan apologized to House GOP colleagues in a closed-door meeting after a staffer at the RSC got a little too aggressive in his opposition to Boehner’s debt plan. The aide had sent an e-mail to conservative groups, urging them to lobby wavering Republican lawmakers against the plan. The lawmakers weren’t happy about being targeted. Jordan has never been shy about pushing his party to the right. He gets high marks from conservative groups for his strong record of opposing abortion and higher taxes, stretching to his days in the Ohio Legislature. “It’s what Ronald Reagan is all about, it’s what our party’s all about: a strong defense, lower taxes, less spending, traditional values,” Jordan said in an interview. “That’s what we fight for every day.” He sees his role as helping Boehner and the entire House GOP stay true to conservative values. “I want to help the speaker,” Jordan said. “I think he’s got a tough job, and like a lot of Americans, we’re praying for him.” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is often cited as the leader of the conservative wing of the House Republican caucus. His power, however, is bolstered by members like Jordan, who work daily to rally other conservatives, including an 87-member freshman class that is eager to make its mark. Jordan and his compatriots were a driving force behind the bill that the House passed last week that would slice federal spending by $6 trillion and require a constitutional balanced budget amendment to be sent to the states in exchange for averting a threatened government default after Aug. 2. The Democraticcontrolled Senate quickly killed the measure with a procedural vote. Jordan’s unwillingness to compromise, however, rubs some fellow Republicans the wrong way. “My experience with things that don’t bend is that they break,” said Rep. Steven LaTourette, a fellow Republican from Ohio, who represents the northeastern corner of the state. LaTourette, who supports Boehner’s debt plan, said he admires Jordan for standing up for what he believes in. But, he added, “I think it’s harmful to the country and it’s certainly harmful to the speaker’s attempt to move legislation.” Jordan grew up in western Ohio and was a four-time state wrestling champion in high school, losing only a single match in four years. He went on to wrestle at the University of Wisconsin, where he won two NCAA titles. Police: Body of Illinois girl killed in 1957 exhumed CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois authorities on Wednesday exhumed the body of a 7-year-old girl who was abducted and killed more than 50 years ago, saying they hoped modern technology would help them put together a criminal case against a 71-year-old former neighbor. The exhumation comes weeks after authorities announced they’d arrested Jack Daniel McCullough in Seattle and charged him with killing the girl, who was abducted by a man as she played outside her home in Sycamore in December 1957. The girl’s body was found the following spring in a wooded area about 120 miles from her home. DeKalb County State’s Attorney Clay Campbell said he hopes scientists now can “do a better examination of her remains here in 2011 than were conducted in 1958. “Suffice it to say science has advanced, thankfully, greatly since that time,” Campbell said at a news conference. McCullough, a onetime Sycamore resident, waived his right to extradition earlier this month. He was being returned to Illinois on Wednesday to face a murder charge, authorities said. He has denied any involvement in the girl’s death. Campbell said he could not comment on the specifics of the court order that allowed the exhumation, or where the remains were to be taken. Illinois State Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said members of the state police, FBI, Sycamore Police, DeKalb State’s Attorney’s office, and county’s coroner’s office were at the Elmwood Cemetery in Sycamore early Wednesday to exhume the remains. “We are investigating the murder of a 7-yearold child,” Campbell told The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle. “Suffice it to say, we’ll leave no stone unturned.” Authorities have not said what they hope to find, but one cold case expert said that a body that has been in a casket for more than 50 years can still reveal evidence crucial to prosecutors. Some of that information has nothing to do with a suspect, but could nevertheless derail any prosecution if authorities leave any doubt about some very basic questions. “You have to be able to show it’s a criminal homicide and you have to establish the identity of the victim,” said Richard Walton, an assistant professor of criminal justice at Utah State University and the author of “Cold Case Homicides: Practical Investigative Techniques.” For example, DNA from the girl’s teeth could establish her identity, he said. Walton said even after all this time, there could still be evidence linking a suspect to a crime. “They might consider fingernail scrapings today to determine if there is any DNA,” he said, explaining that while some DNA degrades over the years, some can still be used. The key, he said, is the condition of the body, as everything from whether the body was embalmed to whether water seeped into the casket or bugs got inside will determine if there is any useful information. “You’re not going to know what you have until you open it up,” he said. Campbell said all of the experts involved in the exhumation are “very, very satisfied” with what was found, but he would not comment on the condition of the remains out of respect for the Ridulph family. The remains will be examined by the medical examiner from Cook County as well as the DeKalb County Coroner and forensic anthropologists, he said. Maria’s oldest sibling said she cried after hearing her sister’s body had been exhumed, even though she knew it was going to happen. “It’s brought it back again and crammed it into our faces,” said Patricia Quinn, 70, of Morris. “I had put it to rest a long time ago.” Maria’s December 1957 abduction made national headlines, and President Dwight Eisenhower and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reportedly requested daily updates on the massive search effort to find her. The girl’s body was found a few months later in a wooded area about 120 miles from her home. With no arrests, no new leads and the death of Maria’s parents and investigators involved in the case, the story faded from memory as years passed. McCullough, who told detectives in 1957 that at the time of the girl’s abduction he’d taken a train to Chicago, became the focus of the investigation again last year when a high school girlfriend of McCullough’s discovered an unused train ticket to Chicago behind a framed photograph. McCullough, then known as John Tessier, lived near the girl in Sycamore, 50 miles west of Chicago, and matched the description of the suspect given immediately after the disappearance by Ridulph’s then-8-year-old friend, Cathy Sigman, who last saw her at about 6 p.m. on Dec. 3, 1957. Sigman said she left Maria with a young man and ran home to get some mittens; when she returned 15 minutes later, the two were gone. In a July 7 jailhouse interview with The Associated Press, McCullough said he didn’t kill the girl and maintained the same alibi he gave when first questioned by investigators when he was 18: that he could not have committed the murder because he had traveled to Chicago that day for military medical exams before enlisting in the Air Force. Poultry maker expands chicken recall to nuggets GREELEY, Colo. (AP) — A voluntary recall of thousands of pounds of ready-to-eat chicken was expanded over concerns that the meat could be contaminated with bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Colorado-based Pilgrim’s Pride said Tuesday the recall now includes about 7,000 pounds of Pilgrim’s Pride Brand Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Nuggets that were shipped to 57 Dollar General Market stores in West Virginia, Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. Dollar General spokeswoman Tawn Earnest said smaller stores in the chain aren’t affected. The recall began last week over fears that more than five tons of ready-toeat chicken was potentially tainted by Listeria monocytogenes. The Center for Disease Control classifies listeriosis as a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems. P i l g r i m ’s Pride spokesman Gary Rhodes said Wednesday that he wasn’t aware of any illnesses related to the recall. The newly recalled product was sold in twopound bags and carries the best-by date of June 2, 2012, and UPC number 77013 16224. It was produced in the Pilgrim’s plant in Mt. Pleasant, Texas. Pilgrim’s officials say the company is working closely with Dollar General to locate all of the recalled product. “Food safety is our top priority and we take product recalls very seriously,” said Kendra Waldbusser, senior vice president of food safety and quality assurance for Pilgrim’s. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of two of the company’s products Thursday. The first was nearly 400 pounds of Fully-Cooked Grilled Chicken Breast Fillets with Rib Meat made at Pilgrim’s plant in Waco, Texas, and distributed through Columbus, Ohio. Also recalled was nearly 11,000 pounds of Sweet Georgia Brand FullyCooked Breaded White Chicken Nuggets Shaped Patties produced at Pilgrim’s plant in Mt. Pleasant and sent to distribution centers in New Jersey and Texas. The problem was discovered during on-site internal testing at each plant. Pilgrim’s employs about 42,000 people and operates chicken processing plants and prepared-foods facilities in 12 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Consumers can contact Pilgrim’s at 1-800321-1470. Food supplements airlifted into famine-hit Somalia MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A plane carrying 10 tons of urgently needed nutritional supplements to treat malnourished children has landed in famine-hit Somalia, a U.N. official said Wednesday. The airlift is part of a crisis intervention as famine threatens to spread across lawless Somalia. David Orr, a World Food Program spokesman who flew with the shipment from neighboring Kenya to the Somali capital of Mogadishu, said it was the first airlift of food aid since the U.N. declared a famine in parts of Somalia last week. Orr said the aid would be distributed to medical facilities to treat the malnourished children. WFP spokeswoman Challiss McDonough said this is first of several planned airlifts in coming weeks. She said Wednesday’s shipment of peanut butter-based nutritional paste will treat 3,500 malnourished children for one month. McDonough said WFP decided to send in the airlift because of an urgent need to treat the growing number of internally displaced children suffering from malnutrition before their condition deteriorates. She said about 18,000 children are suffering from Summertime is a great time to schedule Annual Exams and Sports Physicals. malnutrition and that the number is expected to grow to 25,000. WFP says it cannot reach 2.2 million people in need of aid in the militantcontrolled areas in southern Somalia because of insecurity. Somalia has been embroiled in conflict for two decades, since the last leader was overthrown by warlords who then turned on each other. Islamist militant groups have spent the last few years battling the weak U.N.-backed government in an attempt to overthrow it.

Earlier this month alShabab, which has links to al-Qaida, had shown indications of wavering on its 2009 ban on certain aid groups in its territories. The drought has created a triangle of hunger where the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia meet. WFP estimates more than 11.3 million people need aid across drought-hit regions in East Africa. The majority of those affected live in pastoral communities whose herds have been wiped out because of a lack of water. Separately, UNICEF said Wednesday that it is trying to vaccinate more than 300,000 children in Kenya in an emergency program designed to prevent an outbreak of disease as refugees stream into northern Kenya. Jayne Kariuki from UNICEF said that four northern Kenyan regions will be targeted along with Dadaab, the world’s largest refugee camp, during the two-week program to immunize the children against polio and measles.

B RO T H E R S Sonʼs outdoor education proves trouble for parent Dear Dr. Brothers: My son got caught bringing his Swiss Army knife to his middle school. I’d told him not to carry it with him to school, but I’m not sure he knew how much trouble he’d be in, especially since he brought it only to show his friends and clearly not as a weapon. I’ve been teaching my kids outdoorsy skills since they were little, and I think it’s an important part of growing up. Is what he did really wrong? And how can I explain this double standard to my kids? — L.B. Dear L.B.: This has become quite a tough issue for parents, especially parents in rural or even suburban areas where outdoor activities are popular. No one will argue that the skills needed to enjoy outdoor activities like camping or hiking are detrimental to kids, and many people do think these types of practical and recreational skills are as important as the academic skills taught in the classroom. And indeed, learning how to build a fire or pitch a tent can teach a child important lessons in self-reliance, problem-solving, planning and perseverance that are sometimes harder to come by when reading books or doing math problems. The important thing to stress here, though, is that while there definitely is a place for these kinds of activities, it’s important to also teach kids about the dangers inherent in them. Your son may think of his knife as a tool for cutting sticks, but it can pose Dr. Joyce Brothers quite a danger in a school setting. You should explain these dangers to your kids and have them fully appreciate the power of the tools they are using. With this kind of explanation, hopefully your kids will begin to understand that rather than a double standard, the rules against bringing knives to school really are there for the safety of kids who haven’t been lucky enough to be taught how to use them properly. Unfortunately, there’s also the issue of violence to discuss. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My toddler won’t eat anything I try to give him at lunchtime. It’s getting really frustrating, especially since I don’t have my wife around during the day to help (she works) and to take some of the pressure off, like at breakfast and dinner. He basically refuses to eat, and the only things he wants are foods like purple ketchup and dinosaurshaped cookies. What can I do to get my toddler to eat normally? — D.T. Dear D.T.: There are a lot of ways to encourage your toddler to eat, and it’s important not to associate mealtimes with frustration and anger, because your son will pick up on that and only become harder to feed. First, think about your schedule. Toddlers are creatures of habit, so lunchtime should be at the same time every day, with the same routine. Use his favorite bowl or dish to present foods, and make the routine surrounding lunchtime fun so that he looks forward to it. Also remember to keep your expectations low — if you want to see your son scarf down the same turkey sandwich you do at lunch, you’ll probably be disappointed. Toddlers need much smaller portions than adults, and variety is key. Trying new foods can be tough for toddlers, especially once they know what they like. You can use your son’s favorite foods to your benefit, though, and keep an open mind. If he loves purple ketchup, try putting it on the broccoli you want him to eat. You might not like ketchup on broccoli, but if it gets him eating the nutritious foods, that’s the important thing. It can be frustrating, but remember that this pickiness probably is only a phase and he’ll get to be more flexible with his meals eventually. In the meantime, it comes down to patience — try to relax and let him move at his own speed, and you’ll both find lunch more enjoyable. Ohio ex-gov hires key advisers for consulting firm COLUMBUS (AP) — Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said Wednesday he has re-assembled a handful of his top political and campaign advisers to form a strategic consulting firm. Strickland, a Democrat who lost his re-election bid last year, said Midwest Gateway Partners will specialize in helping Midwest businesses expand, crafting political and advocacy campaigns from offices in Columbus and Washington, D.C. The firm’s policy efforts will be focused on health care and energy, he said. “I think we were able to do some really good work when I was in office that is even now helping Ohio move forward into the new energy economy,” Strickland said in an interview. “But there’s so much more that needs to be done. We’ve just scratched the surface.” Strickland will be joined at the firm by his former chief of staff John Haseley; former campaign director Aaron Pickrell; his top energy adviser as governor, Mark Shanahan; and communications consultant Sandy Theis. Steve Ricchetti, a Washington-based consul- tant with experience at the White House and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, also is on the team. Before winning the governor’s race in 2006, Strickland spent 12 years in Congress representing Appalachia. Though he lost the governor’s office to Republican John Kasich last fall, Strickland has remained highly visible — particularly as an opponent of the collective bargaining overhaul that state lawmakers passed this spring. The bill curtails the bargaining rights of 350,000 public sector workers, including police, firefighters, teachers, nurses and state workers, and prohibits public strikes.

Strickland said Wednesday, however, that his consulting firm was not intended to be a springboard for an eventual 2014 gubernatorial campaign. “Whether or not I ever choose to run again has nothing to do with this effort,” he said. “That said, I lost an election, I didn’t die. I’ve still got a lot of interest and energy and I’m absolutely determined to stay involved with activities that are important to our state and our country.

Presenting the award was Alicia Luckton, SouthWest Region Campus Director (center) and Jessica Sargent, administrative assistant. POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. – Mark Nolan, MD, an OB-GYN physician at Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH), recently honored with the Southwest Region’s Outstanding Primary Care Preceptor Award by the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, was given special recognition by the PVH medical staff at a recent meeting. Dr. Stephen Rerych recognized Alicia Luckton, the statewide campus director from the Southwest Region office in Huntington, who made a presentation to the honoree during the meeting. Luckton said “Dr. Nolan is a wonderful preceptor. He is always willing to take a student, and has a student with him almost every month. Our students often comment on his willingness to teach and his availability. He has served not only as a preceptor, but many of our student’s feel he has been a great mentor.” Additionally she shared the following student comments about Dr. Nolan, “I highly recommend this rotation. Dr. Nolan is a great doctor who really cares about his patients. I had so many patients tell me how much they trust him and feel like he really listens to them and cares.” Others said “Dr. Nolan allows you as much autonomy as you feel comfortable with. He has you scrub in for all of his surgeries and births and makes sure you are getting hands-on experience. He is very approachable and is always making sure to ask if you have any questions. I learned so much about women’s health, OB care, and surgery, but beyond just the medical knowledge I got to see first-hand from Dr. Nolan what it means to be a caring, compassionate doctor. Physicians from across the state of West Virginia were recognized with preceptor awards for their work accomplished through the Statewide Campus program at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM). Preceptors assist and provide guidance to medical students in each of the six statewide campus regions.

The 15-year-old from Oakland has captivated audiences in the U.S. and China with his ability to sing pitchperfect Mandarin and perform the ancient Chinese art form. The teen, who is black and only speaks some basic Chinese, has wowed teachers since he picked up the music as a kindergartner. “As soon as he opens his mouth and sings in Chinese, the Chinese are very surprised and then feel very proud of him,” said his music teacher Sherlyn Chew. “When he puts on the costume, and all the acting, you can see that he’s pretty good.” Tyler is a standout student in Chew’s Oakland-based Purple Silk Music Education program, which teaches children and youth — mostly from low-income immigrant families — how to sing and play traditional Chinese music. The program’s Great Wall Youth Orchestra & Chorus has performed around the country. Tyler has learned to sing several well-known pieces of Chinese opera, a centuriesold form of musical theater known for its elaborate costumes, clanging gongs and cymbals, wide-ranging vocals and highly stylized movements. At the World Children’s Festival in Washington in June, Tyler, dressed in a black robe emblazoned with golden dragons, got a standing ovation when he performed as Justice Bao, a famous Song Dynasty judge who fought government corruption, from the Chinese classic “Bao Qing Tian.” “The music is very beautiful, and it’s very passionate. You can hear it when it’s being played,” said Tyler, a theater student at the Oakland School for the Arts. “It’s made me want to know more about the world outside of America or California or Oakland.” David Lei, chairman of the Chinese Performing Arts Foundation in San Francisco, has seen Tyler perform sever- al times and arranged to have him sing at the opening of a Chinese opera exhibit several years ago. “It’s very authentic because he hits the tones just right, so you understand everything,” Lei said. “People just don’t expect an Afro-American kid to be doing it. It’s the initial shock. There’s a sense of novelty.” Tyler, who comes from a music-loving family, began learning how to sing in Chinese a decade ago when he was a kindergartner in Chew’s music class at Oakland’s Lincoln Elementary School, where about 90 percent of students are Asian. Chew quickly recognized Tyler’s talent and recruited him to join her Purple Silk music program, where students learn to sing Chinese songs and play traditional instruments such as a twostring violin called an erhu, a four-stringed lute known as a pipa and a bamboo flute called a dizi. “I really took a liking to him and thought he had quite a large range,” said Chew, who started the music program at Oakland’s Laney College in 1995. “He hears pitch very well, and his pronunciation of Chinese characters is very accurate.” Tyler’s mother, Vanessa Ladson, said her son’s education at a predominantly Asian elementary school and participation in the Chinese music program have made him more open-minded. “He’s grown a lot,” she said. “He’s learning a different culture, and the Asian children are learning his culture, so it’s a plus-plus for everybody.” Tyler said friends and classmates sometimes poke fun at him, wondering where a black kid from Oakland learned how to sing Chinese opera. “Sometimes they don’t understand it,” Tyler said. “It’s just joking about the fact that as dark as I am, I’m singing Chinese. What’s up with that? If I go to China, I’m going to stick out like a sore thumb. It’s just those types of jokes. All in good fun.” “I’ve been sticking to this to see where else it will take me,” he said. The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 145-966) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Youʼre not alone BY ELLEN GIBSON AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK — You gave it a pet name. It knows more about you than your mother does. Sometimes you even sleep with it. In fact, you’re so attached to it that being separated for only a few minutes could send you into a panic. While smartphone users worry about mobile hacking and other security threats that are making news these days, psychologists and others are concerned about another equally troubling issue: the growing obsession among people who would much rather interact with their smartphones than with other human beings. “Watching people who get their first smartphone, there’s a very quick progression from having a basic phone you don’t talk about to people who love their iPhone, name their phone and buy their phones outfits,” said Lisa Merlo, director of psychotherapy training at the University of Florida. The increasing dependence comes as more Americans ditch their iPods, cameras, maps and address books in favor of the myriad capabilities of a smartphone. After all, companies have rolled out thousands of applications that do everything from track your heart rate to guide you through the streets of New York City. While smartphones have made life easier for some, psychologists say the love of them is becoming more like an addiction, creating consequences that range from minor (teenagers who communicate in three-letter acronyms like LOL and BRB) to major (car accidents caused by people who text while driving). Merlo, a clinical psy- chologist, said she’s observed a number of behaviors among smartphone users that she labels “problematic.” Among them, Merlo says some patients pretend to talk on the phone or fiddle with apps to avoid eye contact or other interactions at a bar or a party. Others are so genuinely engrossed in their phones that they ignore the people around them completely. “The more bells and whistles the phone has,” she says, “the more likely they are to get too attached.” Michelle Hackman, a recent high school graduate in Long Island, NY, won a $75,000 prize in this year’s Intel Science Talent Search with a research project investigating teens’ attachment to their cell phones. She found that students separated from their phones were under-stimulated — a low heart rate was an indicator — and lacked the ability to entertain themselves. Most of the teens at Hackman’s affluent high school own smartphones, she says, and could even be found texting under their desks during class. “It creates an on-edge feeling and you don’t realize how much of the lecture you’re missing,” Hackman says. For some, the anxious feeling that they might miss something has caused them to slumber next to their smartphones. More than a third of U.S. adults — 35 percent — now own a smartphone, according to the Pew Research Center, and two-thirds of them sleep with their phones right next to their beds. Michael Breus, a psychologist and sleep specialist, said in his clinical practice, his patients often describe how they answer emails, text and surf the Web as they’re 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 trying to wind down at night. He says this is a bad idea. “This behavior can increase cognitive arousal,” he says, “leading to the No. 1 complaint I hear: ‘I can’t turn off my mind and fall asleep’.” Trouble sleeping isn’t the only problem smartphones junkies exhibit. Some people are willing to do almost anything to feed their addiction __ including spending more money for the data plans than they can afford. According to J.D. Power and Associates, the average smartphone user spends about $107 each month for wireless access __ more than the average household pays for electricity each month. And consumers’ dependence on mobile phones is only expected to grow as people use their phones for things like shopping and banking. Mobile commerce — purchases made when shoppers access stores’ websites or mobile applications through their phones — is expected to account for $6 billion in sales this year, according to Forrester Research. For instance, Kristyn Wilson, a marketing professional in Columbus, Ohio, uses her phone to locate stores and compare prices, in addition to ordinary tasks like checking email and sending texts. She also uses it to buy entertainment vouchers through daily deal site Groupon and even to pay for her coffee at Starbucks, where she simply has to wave the phone in front of a scanner. As a result, she rarely separates from the device. “My phone is in my hand all the time,” says Wilson, who stops short of sleeping next to her phone. “You have to draw the line somewhere.” For others, being away from their phone will almost certainly cause separation anxiety. According to researchers at the Ericsson ConsumerLab, some people have become so dependent on being able to use their smartphones to go online anytime, anywhere, that without that access, they “can no longer handle their daily routine.” Keosha Harvey, a party booker in Burlington, NC, can attest to that. She uses her iPhone for both personal and business communications, so she panicked when it crashed earlier this month, taking all of her “important contacts” with it. Apple replaced it for free, but she lost her pictures and more than 400 songs, she says. “The most frustrating part is that lost feeling you get when you are so used to having a phone,” says Harvey, who also has had Blackberry devices “go dead” on her in the past. “You feel a sense of nakedness without it.” Tonia Zampieri lost her iPhone in a cab on New Year’s Eve while on vacation in Washington D.C. Having paid her fare with cash, she had no way of tracking down the cab company, and her older-model phone didn’t have the tracking software that comes standard now. She had backed up her contacts on her computer six weeks earlier, but she lost other data, including videos of her niece. The worst part, Zampieri says, was the feeling of being cut off. “I was without a phone for four days, and it was excruciating. I kept going to look for it but then I’d be like, ‘I don’t have it. That’s right,’” Zampieri says. “It’s definitely a borderline addiction for me.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Letters to the Editor able.

Though the hires were approved, Spaun abstained from the votes saying it was her understanding council had nothing to do with hiring personnel in the police department. Musser said council could approve the hiring just not the firing of an employee in the police department. Hysell also discussed $11,000 in expenses from the water department that she had no appropriations for, saying she needed council to help her find the money or approve raising the appropriations with the hope the village took in enough money to cover the expenses. Around $6,100 was spent on hydrants, $4,422 on chemicals at the water plant and around $1,000 for repair of an emergency generator at the plant which totaled just over $11,000. Musser said the village may have to take a close look at current water rates and making adjustments. The meeting adjourned twice into executive sessions - once to discuss disciplinary matters in the police department and once to discuss disciplinary matters in the public works department. No action was taken regarding the executive session discussing the police department and it wasn’t known at press time if any action took place after the discussion about the public works department.

Blues From Page A1 for not only his music but the folklore of his talent which was said to have come at the “crossroads.” Tommy’s brother LeDell, a minister, liked to say Tommy went to a crossroads shortly before Midnight when a large black man approached, took his guitar and tuned it - this is how Tommy learned to play anything he wanted. Though LeDell didn’t say the crossroads spirit was “the devil” or that Tommy had sold his soul, the legend assumes he did for his talent. Though many confuse this crossroads story with the story of Bluesman Robert Johnson (no relation), the legendary story, according to blues aficionados, belongs to Tommy who traveled the delta creating a preRobertJohnson delta blues sound. A character based on Tommy even appears in the 2000 film “O Brother, Where Are Thou?” who accompanies the Soggy Bottom Boys on the song “Man of Constant Sorrow.” Tommy’s niece, Vera, has been attempting to place a headstone on Tommy’s grave and to open the road to the cemetery where he’s buried - a cemetery which is home to other African Americans. Vera has been taking donations for the efforts and for blues preservation which supports continued research, documentation and video capture of blues history. The Tommy Johnson Foundation also raises funds through its annual blues festival Sept. 2-3 in Terry, Miss. Welker said Vera’s visit is a unique addition that adds even more depth to a festival that many mistakenly consider just a big party - it’s a party of course, but it’s also a party with a purpose and a foundation that keeps it coming back year after year.

But players were back. And a day after the lockout ended, that’s all that mattered. Punter Reggie Hodges, defensive lineman Ahtyba Rubin and defensive backs Joe Haden and T.J. Ward were there for what seemed more like freshman orientation than back-to-work day as the Browns began to look forward to their newlook season. “We talked with one another,” Rubin said, “because the big thing is we missed each other.” Indeed, they all agreed that the biggest void during the NFL’s 4 1/2month long lockout was not being around buddies. “Working out at home, it’s good cause you’re gonna still get the work in,” said Haden, the team’s No. 1 draft pick two years ago and now a key member of the defense. “But just being around the dudes, making sure you’re all hanging out together, going out to dinner, all that stuff. I think that was the one thing I missed the most.” None of the Browns who came in on their own for a quick workout or to view some training films were ever worried about the NFL season being in jeopardy. “I had no doubt,” Haden said. “I felt as though we weren’t gonna miss any games.” And they had high praise for the players who put in the long hours to hammer out the deal. “I just let my player reps take care of it and now I’ll be back at work again Friday,” Rubin said. “Everything is basically the same, just like any other camp.” Ward concurred. “We had complete faith in our team representatives and the NFLPA that they’d get it done with the owners,” he said. “No one wants to see a season without football, so I was pretty sure it was all gonna get resolved.” The Browns, coming off a 5-11 season, need all the time they can get under new coach Pat Shurmur. He is transforming to a West Coast offense and will change the defense from a 3-4 alignment to a 4-3. Ward is confident the defense will be ready for the season opener at home Sept. 11 against an AFC North rival, Cincinnati. “It’s not going to be as difficult as our defense was last year,” Ward said. “We had a bunch of schemes and a bunch of techniques and calls that, I think at times, confused some guys and maybe our cohesion wasn’t there.” The Browns did not confirm social media reports that they signed several undrafted free agents. Kentucky wide receiver Chris Mathews tweeted that he was on his way to Cleveland. Other unofficial reports had Notre Dame linebacker Brian Smith, Missouri cornerback Carl Gettis, Tennessee State linebacker Sidney Tarver and Division II Hillsdale quarterback Troy Weatherhead headed to town. Workers were busy getting the facility ready, trimming grass while a small group of autograph seekers mingled near the entrance to the players parking lot. “Are they back? What’s going on?” said Jim McDonald, who stopped his car on Lou Groza Blvd., rolled down his window, and asked when his favorite team would hit the practice field. coach Jim Tressel’s forced resignation on May 30. The NFL’s rules state a supplemental draft is open to “any player who is ineligible.” Since Pryor still could have played the second half of the 2011 season, there was still a question whether he could have regained his eligibility and played. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league has not decided anything about a prospective supplemental draft, nor has it considered the status of Pryor. “We have not set a date for the supplemental draft nor made any determinations on the eligibility of individual players,” Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press. Pryor’s Columbus lawyer, Larry James, said he sought the letter from Smith to rule out any chance of Pryor playing again in college, although that seemed extremely unlikely since he has hired agent Drew Rosenhaus and has been working out in Florida for the past several weeks. “When you don’t cooperate (with the NCAA) it’s the death knell,” James said Tuesday. “Once you sign with an agent, once you fail to work with the NCAA, you’re ineligible.” In other words, there’s no turning back for Pryor, the nation’s top quarterback recruit from Jeanette, Pa., who had success on the field but helped bring a lengthy NCAA investigation upon one of the nation’s premier football powerhouses. After the NCAA began looking into players who traded signed memorabilia, trophies OVP Sports Briefs Meigs MS fall conditioning ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Meigs Middle School conditioning for 7th and 8th grade football will begin on Monday, Aug. 1, from 5-7 p.m. The 7th and 8th grade volleball conditioning also will begin on Monday, Aug. 1.

Eagle 5k Road Race/Fun Run Ed Suba Jr./Akron Beacon Journal/MCT Cleveland running back Peyton Hillis, right, heads for an opening after taking a hand off from quarterback Colt McCoy during the Browns 34-14 victory over the New England Patriots in their NFL football game at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 7, 2010, in Cleveland, Ohio. “I’m glad they settled,” McDonald said. “I don’t care if one side or the other thinks they won, I just want to watch football again. I have season tickets and I always drive past here on the way to work just to feel like I am part of the team. I think this is the year they get back to winning.” Indeed, football is back in Cleveland. Browns fans are ready for camp to open despite a 10th sub-.500 season since returning to the NFL in 1999. The Browns open a four-game preseason at home against Green Bay on Aug. 13, and will play host to the Detroit Lions six nights later before going to Philadelphia and Chicago. With three of their first four regular-season games at Cleveland Browns Stadium, the club hopes to get off to a strong start before reaching their bye week on Oct. 9. The second half will be daunting. Cleveland plays perennial AFC North powers Pittsburgh and Baltimore twice in the final five games, starting with a Dec. 4 home game against the Ravens. Ward can’t wait. “It feels really good just to get back and see everyone and see a bunch of smiles. We’ve got some new blood in here,” he said. “Things are gonna go good this year for us. “It’s really good to be back.” OSU makes it official: Pryor not coming back COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Terrelle Pryor’s lawyer wanted Ohio State to make it clear to the NFL that his client could not return to the Buckeyes. So Ohio State not only declared its former star quarterback would not have played at any time during the 2011 season but also banned him from any contact with the school’s athletic program for the next five years. In a letter from Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith dated Tuesday, Smith said that Pryor was ineligible because he failed to cooperate with NCAA and Ohio State investigators. He then added, “The university must also dissociate you from its athletic program for a period of five years.” That means that Pryor can have no contact with recruits or enrolled Buckeyes, cannot accept complimentary tickets to home games and cannot use the team’s athletic facilities. Smith didn’t rule out the use of all campus facilities, however. “Please note that this dissociation does NOT prohibit you from enrolling in classes at the university to complete your degree,” Smith wrote. “As you know, I would encourage you to complete your degree.” There had been whispers that the NFL might not offer Pryor a spot in a potential supplemental draft in the waning days of this lockout-shortened summer because he had only been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for accepting improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. Pryor was at the center of an ongoing series of controversies that led to The Daily Sentinel • Page A9 TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The annual Eagle 5k Road Race and Walk and 1 mile fun run will take place on Saturday, August 6, in Tuppers Plains, Ohio.

Reds send OF Gomes to Nationals Neal C. Lauron/Columbus Dispatch/MCT Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel talks with Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) during a time out in the second quarter of their NCAA football game at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, Nov. 27, 2010. and championship rings to the tattoo-parlor owner, it led to five players — including Pryor — being suspended for the first five games this fall. (A sixth player was subsequently suspended.) The university later learned that Tressel had known his players had accepted cash and tattoos for more than nine months but contrary to his contract and NCAA rules did not tell Smith, the NCAA or Ohio State’s compliance department. That led to Tressel being forced to resign on May 30. Ohio State goes before the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Aug. 12 in Indianapolis. The school has vacated the 2010 season, including its victory over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl and has self-imposed a two- year NCAA probation. The infractions committee could accept those penalties or it could hand out stiffer sanctions, including bowl bans and recruiting limitations. James said the letter from Smith was necessary to make it clear to the NFL that Pryor is out of options — other than a supplemental draft. “I don’t think anybody on this planet who’s paying attention to this thought Terrelle was attempting to game the system” by leaving school early for the NFL, James said. Smith’s letter was also emailed to the NCAA, Ohio State athletic administration officials, lawyers, the university’s ticket manager, interim coach Luke Fickell and all other Buckeyes coaches in all sports. CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds sent struggling left fielder Jonny Gomes to Washington for two minor leaguers on Tuesday, a move that opens an outfield spot for one of their best young hitters. Former first-round pick Yonder Alonso was called up from Triple-A to take Gomes’ spot, giving the defending NL Central champions another lefthanded hitter who can play left field and back up Joey Votto at first base. The Reds obtained minor league left-hander Chris Manno and outfielder Bill Rhinehart from Washington. Cincinnati included money in the deal to pay part of Gomes’ salary. “For us, it’s a tough move to make in some ways because Jonny was a big part of our club last year, a guy that obviously we all think of highly as a person and a player,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “It gives us an opportunity to bring Alonso up and start looking at a couple of guys that could get an opportunity.” The 24-year-old Alonso was the seventh overall pick in the June 2008 draft. A career first baseman, he got stuck behind Votto and was moved to left field. He batted .296 with 24 doubles, 12 homers and 56 RBIs in 91 games at Triple-A Louisville, playing 21 games at first and 62 in the outfield. “He’s improved a lot,” Jocketty said. “He’ll be able to spell Joey from time to time at first, play some left field, be a lefthanded hitter off the bench. One thing we know about Yonder: He can flat-out hit.” The 30-year-old Gomes revitalized his career in Cincinnati, which signed him to a minor league deal after Tampa let him go after the 2008 season. He had one of his best opening halves last year, batting .277 with 11 homers and 60 RBIs at the midpoint. He tailed off in the second half, but the Reds picked up his option for $1.75 million. His playing time diminished as he slumped. Gomes is batting .211 with 11 homers and 31 RBIs. Manno, 22, went 1-3 with a 1.04 ERA and 12 saves at Class A Hagerstown. Rhinehart, 26, batted .283 with 21 homers and 59 RBIs at Double-A Harrisburg. �The Daily Sentinel AP Briefs EX-WVU RB DEVINE SIGNS WITH EAGLES PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Eagles on Tuesday signed rookie free-agent running back Noel Devine.

SPORTS Page A10 Thursday, July 28, 2011 Long leads Riverside Seniors League SENTINEL STAFF MDSSPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MASON, W.Va. — Roy Long of Pomeroy has taken the reins in the second half of the 2011 Riverside Senior Men’s League. Long — with 75.5 points overall — holds a three-point lead over last week’s leader Jimmy Joe Hemsley (72.5). Phil Hill currently sits third with 71 points, while Bobby Oliver rounds out the top-four players in the second half with 69 points. A season-best 91 players were at Tuesday’s event, making for 22 teams of four and one three-man squad for a possible 23 points. The low score of the day was an 11-under par round of 59 that was fired between two different teams. Bob Oliver, Phill Burgess, Rod Karr and Willis Dudding combined for a share of the winning round, as did the threesome of Mick Winebrenner, Phil Hill and Eddie Crooks. There was also a twoway tie for third place, as the respective foursomes of Kenny Greene, Jim Blair, Jim Lawrence and Bob Hysell, and Steve Safford, Bob Hill, Bob Stewart and Ed Debalski had matching 10-under rounds of 60. The closest to the pin winners were Ralph Sayre on the ninth hole and Siebert Belcher on the 14th hole. 2011 Riverside Senior Men’s Golf League S E C O N D-HALF S TANDINGS A S O F JULY 26 Roy Long J.J.

Patrick Klein, an assistant at Illinois from 200710, has been named assistant coach while former Buckeyes player Candace Dark will be the new video coordinator. Prior to his stint with the Illini, Klein served as a graduate assistant on Foster’s staff from 200507 and again last season. The Belpre, Ohio, native replaces Kelley Meury, who resigned in May. Dark was a four-year letterwinner at Ohio State from 2003-06. She rejoins the Buckeyes after two years as a graduate assistant manager at Toledo. Since December 2009, she has served as an academic advisor in the School of Allied Medical Professions at Ohio State. Dark replaces Pete Gaudet, who accepted a job to coach the Indian Nation Team. JETS’ EDWARDS SPARED JAIL TIME IN OHIO CLEVELAND (AP) — A judge in Cleveland has spared New York Jets star Braylon Edwards jail time, extending his Ohio probation by a year for violating terms by driving drunk in New York City. Municipal Judge Michelle Denise Earley could have sentenced the 28-year-old free-agent wide receiver to up to six months in jail at the Wednesday hearing. Edwards was serving 18 months of probation after he pleaded no contest in January 2010 to a misdemeanor charge. He was accused of punching a friend of LeBron James outside a Cleveland night club. It was during that probation that he was charged with driving while intoxicated in Manhattan. CLIPPERS’ GERMANO THROWS PERFECT GAME AT SYRACUSE SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Justin Germano threw a perfect game for the Columbus Clippers in a 3-0 win over the Syracuse Chiefs on Tuesday night. Germano, who has shuffled between the rotation and bullpen, got the International League’s first nineinning perfect game since 2003. The righthander’s curve dominated from the first inning in his fifth start of the season and he finished with seven strikeouts. Germano has appeared in 79 major league games for San Diego, Cincinnati and Cleveland — including nine for the Indians this year. AP photo Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Ervin Santana, center, gets a hug from catcher Bobby Wilson after throwing a no-hitter in a 3-1 win over the Cleveland Indians in a baseball game Wednesday in Cleveland. First baseman Mark Trumbo (44) joins in at right. Santana no-hits Tribe, Angels win 3-1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Ervin Santana pitched the first solo no-hitter for the Angels in nearly 27 years, striking out 10 and leading Los Angeles over the Cleveland Indians 3-1 Wednesday. Santana allowed only two runners — there was an error on the leadoff batter in the first inning and a walk in the eighth. Just once was Santana’s gem in jeopardy. Second baseman Howie Kendrick’s nifty play saved it in the sixth. Santana (6-8) was in complete control while throwing the Angels’ first complete-game no-hitter since Mike Witt pitched a perfect game on Sept. 30, 1984, against Texas. Mark Langston (7 innings) and Witt (2 innings) combined to hold Seattle hitless on April 11, 1990. This was the third nohitter in the major leagues this season, yet another sign that this, too, is another Year of the Pitcher. Minnesota’s Francisco Liriano did it against the Chicago White Sox on May 3 and Detroit ace Justin Verlander beat Toronto on May 7. Santana said he began to think a no-hitter was within reach after he got through the eighth. “Lots of guys get to five, six innings, but that’s when things get a little complicated,” Santana said. He would know. Because in his last start, he took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning against Baltimore. This also was the first no-hitter at Progressive Field, a ballpark that opened as Jacobs Field in 1994. The last pitcher to hold the Indians hitless was Jim Abbott of the New York Yankees on Sept. 4, 1993. Overall, it was the ninth no-hitter in Angels’ history. Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan threw four of them from 1973 through 1975. For Santana, it was a most unlikely performance. The 28-year-old righty came in 0-6 with a 4.98 ERA in 10 career starts against the Indians. “I never get a win against this team,” he said. The closest Cleveland got to a hit came when rookie Jason Kipnis led off the sixth with a grounder past Santana. Kendrick made a diving, backhand stop, threw from his knees and first baseman Mark Trumbo scooped out the low throw for the out. Santana threw 105 pitches, 76 for strikes. He had 0-2 counts nine times. The crowd of 21,546, many on extended lunch hours for the noontime start, cheered loudly when Lonnie Chisenhall walked with one out in the eighth. Otherwise, the fans nervously sat in expectation of watching history. Santana quickly took care of business in the bottom of the ninth. He got pinch-hitter Travis Buck to look at strike three, retired the speedy Ezequiel Carrera on a routine grounder and got Michael Brantley on an easy fly ball to center fielder Peter Bourjos. The Angels rushed from the dugout to mob Santana behind the mound. Along with a game for the record books, it was an important win for Los Angeles as it chases Texas in the AL West. The win was only his third in 11 starts since May 30. He lost four in a row, June 4-21, but is 3-0 in six starts since. Last Friday, he gave up one run and three hits over 7 2-3 innings in a 6-1 win over the Orioles. Against the Indians, Santana looked a lot more like the pitcher who went 17-10 last season. Santana got off to an ominous start as Carrera reached when his grounder glanced off the heel of shortstop Erick Aybar’s glove. Carrera stole second, went to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch. Chisenhall’s walk was the lone blemish in the eighth as Santana struck out three in the inning. in the eighth — when he struck out the side. Neither team got a hit until Vernon Wells led off the Angels fourth with a bloop single. Los Angeles tied it at 1 in the fifth when Bourjos tripled off the wall in left and scored on a sacrifice fly by Mike Trout. The Angels went ahead in the sixth on an odd passed ball by catcher Carlos Santana. Torii Hunter doubled and went to third on a oneout single by Kendrick. After Mark Trumbo struck out, right-hander Joe Smith relieved David Huff (1-1) and Kendrick took off for second on a 1-1 pitch. Santana came out of his crouch to get the pitch, which was called a strike by umpire Ted Barrett, but the ball popped out of his glove and rolled down the first-base line. The young catcher scrambled after it and threw to Smith covering the plate, but Hunter slid in ahead of the tag to score the unearned run. Mets top Reds 8-6 CINCINNATI (AP) — Jason Pridie put New York ahead with a two-run double, and the Mets took advantage of one of Cincinnati’s worst defensive performances of the season, beating the Reds 8-6 on Tuesday. The Mets scored six unearned runs off Johnny Cueto (6-4) with the help of three errors, matching the Reds’ high for a game. Jonathon Niese (10-8) went five innings for the win, which moved the Mets back above .500 at 52-51. The Reds traded left fielder Jonny Gomes to Washington for two minor leaguers shortly before the start of the game. The Reds have one of the NL’s best defenses, but repeatedly kicked the ball around in an all-around ragged showing. Cincinnati fell three games under .500, matching its season low. David Wright continued his hitting surge since returning from a stress fracture in his lower back. The cleanup hitter had two more hits and drove in a run, improving to 10 for 24 with seven RBIs in his five games back. Outfielder Carlos Beltran spent another day waiting to see if the Mets will trade him. He had an RBI single, walked, reached on an error and scored three times. Niese gave up five runs in five innings, including Joey Votto’s two-run homer that put the Reds ahead 5-4. Tim Byrdak fanned Jay Bruce to end it, getting his first save since 2007 with Detroit. Gomes was supposed to start in left field — he’s 3 for 7 career with a homer off Niese — but was scratched when the trade was completed shortly before the start. The Reds gave away Gomes bobbleheads three days earlier. For the first three innings, the Reds beat themselves up. In one moment that summed it up, Jay Bruce hit a foul ball that bounced up and smacked him on the left side of the helmet. A rested MVP provided their only shining moment. Votto got a day out of the lineup in the series opener because he looked sluggish. His two-run homer — his first since the All-Star break — put the Reds up 5-4 in the fifth. Third baseman Miguel Cairo’s fielding error — Cincinnati’s third overall — helped the Mets put two runners aboard in the sixth. Pridie’s two-run double ended Cueto’s performance. Forced to throw 110 pitches because of the inning-extending errors, Cueto had his streak of 11 straight quality starts snapped. Cueto’s ERA actually improved from 1.98 to 1.88 because all the runs were all unearned. Toledo, Miami of Ohio named preseason MAC favorites DETROIT (AP) — Toledo is the preseason favorite to win the MidAmerican Conference title. The Rockets were tabbed to win the West division while defending champion Miami of Ohio was narrowly picked to win the East over Ohio. The poll of media covering the MAC was announced Tuesday during the conference’s media day. Toledo finished second in the West last fall before losing to Florida International in the final minute of the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. “The experience we have is our biggest plus,” said coach Tim Beckman, who welcomes back 19 starters. “And I think we have very good team speed.” The Rockets have nine returning starters on an offense that features speedy wideout Eric Page. The junior had 1,105 yards receiving and eight touchdowns, and he also returned three kickoffs to the end zone last fall. “It’s great having so many guys with speed this year,” Page said. “It gives us so many more guys that can make plays.” Toledo received two more votes in the West than Northern Illinois, which was unbeaten against MAC foes last fall before falling in the conference title game. The Huskies begin the season under former Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Doeren, who was hired after Jerry Kill became Minnesota’s new head coach. Western Michigan was picked to finish third in the West. Voting was just as tight in the East, where Miami of Ohio drew one more vote than Ohio and nine more than third-place pick Temple. Miami won last year’s MAC title during a run that saw it go from doubledigit losses to a 10-4 season. The RedHawks’ Don Treadwell, the former offensive coordinator at Michigan State, was one of five new head coaches introduced during the offseason. Quarterback Zac Dysert was injured late last season. He will battle Austin Boucher, who led the RedHawks to victory in the MAC title game, for the job when the team opens practice next month. “It’s exciting,” Dysert said. “We know everyone is going to be gunning for us.” Twenty starters are back in Oxford, including nine on defense. Ohio is one of the few teams that doesn’t welcome back an experienced signal-caller. Coach Frank Solich said he expects a deep offensive line and backfield to carry the load until the Bobcats settle on a starter. The division winners return to Ford Field on Dec. 2 to decide the MAC championship. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
