Three flown to trauma centers after accidents
BY BETH SERGENT
BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM

SALEM CENTER —
Four people were injured
in two separate accidents
occurring two hours apart
Tuesday afternoon - three
of those patients were
flown to an area trauma
center for treatment of
their injuries, one was
transported to a local hospital.
Though names weren’t
available at press time,
what is known is shortly

before 3:30 p.m., two
motorcycles
were
involved in an accident on
School Lot Road in
Columbia Township about
a mile past the Albany
Airport. One patient was
flown by MedFlight to St.
Mary’s Medical Center in
Huntington, W.Va. while
the other was transported
by emergency personnel
from Meigs EMS to
O’Bleness
Memorial
Hospital in Athens.
Dispatched to the scene
were Medic 1, Medic 2

and Station 12 (Columbia
Township).
Around two hours later,
just after 5 p.m., Meigs
911 received a report of a
motorcycle vs. tractor
trailer accident with
entrapment at the intersection of Ohio 325 and Ohio
124 in Salem Township.
The motorcycle rider,
identified by witnesses as
a female, was reportedly
pinned under the tractor
trailer with emergency
personnel
requesting
equipment to free the

patient who survived the
accident.
Besides the motorcycle
rider, there was another
patient in this accident
though it was unclear if
the person was the driver
of the truck or a passenger.
One patient was flown by
MedFlight to St. Mary’s
Medical Center and the
other was awaiting transport to an unknown trauma center by Health Net
at press time. Also dispatched to this scene were

A candy shop for chocoholics

MIDDLEPORT
–
Cocoa Bean Blessings, a
home operated business
where specialty chocolate
sweets are made and
sold, will have an open
house Saturday, 10 a.m. to
6 p.m.
Julia Harper, who has
been making a variety of
candies for several years
selling it at fairs and festivals, and through on-line
orders, has now converted
a room in the Harper
home into a candy store.
It is located at 504 S.
Third St. in Middleport.
At Saturday’s open
house, visitors will be
given free samples of the
many different candies
she makes which can be
bought by the piece or
the box. Her selections
include truffles, “a
favorite of many,” she
says, and mrytles, which
she describes as being
“much like turtles,”
heartshaped candy on a
stick which combines
chocolate with bacon for
a “salty sweet” taste,
almond bark, and chocolate covered pretzels.
Then there are choco-

late “artisans” which feature scenes on top created with cocoa butter. As
an addition to her business she has expanded
into fancy chocolate cupcakes and mini loaves of
nut breads.
After the open house
the store will retain the
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. hours
on Saturday. However,
Harper says she is
always available for special orders.
Up to this time much
of her business has been
generated through her
facebook page, where
many times quantities of
candies are ordered for
women’s and other conferences.
A teacher by profession, Julia decided to
become a stay-at-home
mom with her children,
and in 2007 ventured
into the candy business.
At first it was just for
family and a few friends,
then it began changing
from a hobby into a business.
When the family
moved to Middleport it
opened the opportunity
and space for the candy
store named “Cocoa Bean
Blessings.”

POMEROY — After an
absence
of
several
months, the Meigs County
Chamber of Commerce’s
Business-Minded
Luncheons returned on
Tuesday with guest speaker Middleport Mayor
Mike Gerlach.
Gerlach was asked to
speak about the struggles
of small municipalities to
find funding for infrastructure and attract economic development as
well as tourism.
Gerlach said during his
term as mayor, the village
had attempted to prioritize
infrastructure needs and
how to pay for them pointing out the water system upgrade was paid for
by the federal government
and bids would soon be
opened regarding the
sewer improvement project, also paid for by federal stimulus funds.
Gerlach said a major
expense to the village’s
sewage system is treating
the nearly one million gallons of daily run-off water
from old coal mines - the
new upgrades should capture much of this run off
and save the community
money.
Gerlach also talked
about the village police
department and the funds
it takes to keep it operating - funds he hopes will
come from the new jail
being built in the old
Middleport Elementary
School. Construction on
the jail started this week
and Gerlach hopes it will
be open the first week of
January. The jail, which
can house both male and
female prisoners, can hold
a maximum of 20 prisoners - prisoners which
would otherwise have to
be shipped to other counties and involve higher
housing fees. Gerlach says
the new jail will be able to
house prisoners from
Meigs County as well as
Gallia and do it at a bargain price, compared to
other facilities. The new
jail will not require additional staff.
In terms of tourism,
Gerlach said Middleport
is focusing on the
bike/walk path that he
hopes to connect with the
Bridge of Honor; the
Underground Railroad
Trail which starts around
the marina and follows
Leading Creek to Rutland;
the canoe/kayak trail that
starts at the marina and
goes to the Ohio River
and/or Leading Creek

Meigs County nets five arrests — Gallia County, 17
STAFF REPORT
GALLIPOLIS
—
Through effective traffic
enforcement, the Ohio
State Highway Patrol
(OSHP) is significantly
impacting the criminal
element on public roadways and in communities. By paying close
attention to possible indicators of criminal activity
during each traffic stop,
officers are often able to
identify bigger problems
during otherwise routine
traffic stops.

From January to July
2011, the Patrol made
2,079 felony traffic stops
across the state of Ohio.
Of these stops, 74 percent involved a trooper
looking beyond the
license plate to detect
criminal activity and
secure a felony arrest.
The other 27 percent are
attributed to felony warrant apprehension cases.
"Every day our troopers are out on the roadways taking felons out of
your communities," said
Lt.
Max
Norris,
Commander of the

Gallipolis Post. "By
being observant and
catching criminal indicators — drugs, weapons
and dangerous drivers are
removed from the roadways."
Franklin County led
the state in felony stops
with 171, followed by
Scioto County with 109,
Lorain County with 70,
and Lucas and Jackson
with 65. Together, these
counties accounted for
almost one-quarter of all
felony
stops
since
January 2011.
Conversely, Meigs and

Gallia Counties accounted for a much smaller
percentage of felony traffic stops with five in
Meigs and 17 in Gallia
since January.
Drug offenses accounted for 47 percent of all
felony arrests made, followed by Operating a
Vehicle
While
Intoxicated (OVI) at 22
percent and theft/fraud at
17 percent. More than
one in three felony stops
occurred on a Friday or a
Saturday and midnight to
2:59 a.m. was the busiest
period for felony stops.

Airlifts take food, water to cut-off Vermont towns
MONTPELIER,
Vt.
(AP) — National Guard
helicopters rushed food
and water Tuesday to a
dozen Vermont towns cut
off by flooding from the
rainy
remnants
of
Hurricane Irene in a deluge
that took inland areas of
New England and upstate
New York by surprise with
its ferocity.
Vermont
Emergency
Management spokesman
Mark Bosma said the helicopters would bring relief
to people in a string of
small towns where roads
and bridges were washed
out: Cavendish, Granville,
Hancock, KillingtonMendon, Marlboro,
Pittsfield, Plymouth,
Rochester, Stockbridge,
Strafford, Stratton and
Wardsboro.
Officials also used
heavy-duty National Guard
vehicles to reach communities where roads may be
passable.

In a disaster that caught
many communities off
guard, Irene dumped up to
11 inches of rain on
Vermont over the weekend
and turned placid mountain
streams into roaring brown
torrents that smashed
buildings and ripped
homes from their foundations. At least three people
died in Vermont.
Small towns in upstate
New York — especially in
the Catskills and the
Adirondacks — were also
besieged by floodwaters.
All together, the storm
has been blamed for at least
42 deaths in 12 states.
More than 2.5 million people from North Carolina to
Maine were still without
electricity Tuesday, three
days after the hurricane
churned up the Eastern
Seaboard.
While all eyes were on
the coast as Irene swirled
northward, some of the
worst destruction took

place well inland, away
from the storm's most punishing winds. In landlocked
Vermont, Gov. Peter
Shumlin called it the worst
flooding in a century.
Approximately
260
roads in Vermont were
closed because of storm
damage, along with about
30 highway bridges. The
floodwaters took giant
bites out of the asphalt in
some places.
"We always had that truism that said, 'Yup, yah
can't get there from here.'
In fact, that's come to pass
down here," said Newfane,
Vt., Town Clerk Gloria
Cristelli. "There are certain
pockets where you can't get
there from here, at least not
by a car."
Relief supplies arrived at
Vermont's National Guard
headquarters early Tuesday
in a convoy of 30 trucks
from the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency.

When Irene unleashed its
wrath on Newfane, Martin
and Sue Saylor were
among the lucky ones. All
they lost was the road to
their hillside home, and
their utilities.
Rivers of rainwater
coursed down their hill.
Just below their home deep
in the woods, the Rock
River rose up out of its
banks, too, claiming another road.
"Stranded, nowhere to
go," said Martin Saylor, 57,
standing by the Rock River
on Monday, waiting for his
brother to bring in supplies.
"Don't want to leave my
house because I don't know
who's going to break in or
whatever. I just don't know
what to do."
Vermont emergency officials and the National
Weather Service warned
before the storm about the
potential for heavy rain and
flooding. On Thursday, the
governor urged people to

prepare for heavy rain, high
winds and possible lengthy
power outages. He recommended stocking up on
food, water and other supplies.
On Monday, Shumlin
defended his state's decision not to undertake more
extensive
evacuations
before the storm arrived.
"What are you going to
do, evacuate the entire state
of Vermont?" the governor
asked. He added: "You can
see one community that
looks like it didn't get hit at
all, and two miles down the
road a community that is
totally devastated. And
obviously there's no one
that can predict which
community, where, why or
how."
In North Carolina, where
Irene blew ashore along the
Outer Banks on Saturday
before heading for New
York and New England,
1,000 people were still in
emergency shelters, await-

ing word on their homes.
Airlines said it would be
days before the thousands
of passengers stranded by
Irene find their way home.
Amtrak service was still
out Tuesday between
Philadelphia and New
York, one of the most heavily traveled parts of the
nation's passenger rail system.
Commuter train service
between New Jersey and
New York City resumed
Tuesday, except for one
line that was still dealing
with flooding.
Throughout the region,
hundreds of roads were
impassable because of
flooding or fallen trees, and
some bridges had simply
given way, including a 156year-old
hand-hewn,
wooden covered bridge
across Schoharie Creek in
Blenheim, N.Y. At least
three towns in New York
remained cut off by flooded roads and bridges.

This month America’s deadliest in long Afghan war
KABUL, Afghanistan
(AP) — August has
become the deadliest
month yet for U.S. forces
in the nearly 10-year-old
war in Afghanistan,
increasing pressure on
the Obama administration to bring troops home
sooner rather than later.
The 66 U.S. service
members killed this
month eclipses the previous record of 65 killed in
July 2010, according to
an Associated Press tally.
Nearly half the August
deaths occurred when
insurgents shot down a
Chinook helicopter Aug.
6, killing 30 American
troops, mostly elite Navy
SEALs.
Violence is being
reported
across
Afghanistan despite the

U.S.-led coalition's drive
to rout insurgents from
their strongholds in the
south.
Though American military officials predicted
high casualties this summer as the Taliban try to
come back after recent
offensives, the grim milestone increases pressure
on the Obama administration to bring troops
home sooner rather than
later.
The military has begun
to implement President
Barack Obama's order to
withdraw the 33,000
extra troops he dispatched to the war. He
ordered 10,000 out this
year and another 23,000
withdrawn by the summer of 2012, leaving
about 68,000 U.S. troops

on the ground. Although
major combat units are
not expected to start leaving until late fall, two
National Guard regiments comprising about
1,000 soldiers started
going home last month.
Afghan
President
Hamid Karzai has set the
end of 2014 as the target
date for Afghan police
and soldiers to take the
lead in protecting and
defending the country,
leaving
international
combat forces to go
home or take on more
support roles.
In a speech in
Minnesota on Tuesday,
Obama honored all the
troops who have been
killed in Afghanistan and
Iraq.
"As our mission transi-

tions from combat to support, Afghans will take
responsibility for their
own security and the
longest war in American
history will come to a
responsible end," Obama
said at the American
Legion's national convention in Minneapolis.
"For our troops and military families who have
sacrificed so much, this
means relief from an
unrelenting decade of
operations."
Aside from the 30
Americans killed in the
Chinook crash southwest
of Kabul, 23 died this
month in Kandahar and
Helmand provinces in
southern Afghanistan, the
main focus of Afghan
and U.S.-led coalition
forces. The remaining 13
were killed in eastern
Afghanistan.
Former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan,
Ronald Neumann, said
the recent spike in vio-

lence does not tell policymakers much on its own,
yet could still have the
effect of intensifying the
sense of frustration about
the war in Congress and
elsewhere. Some U.S.
lawmakers see the war's
duration and cost as a
"nuisance" in a time of
tight U.S. budgets, he
said. "That reinforces the
negative," he said.
Jeff Dressler, a senior
research analyst studying
Afghanistan
at
the
Institute for the Study of
War in Washington, said
August's high casualty
count must be put in context.
"We are right now in
the height of the fighting
season. Despite progress
in
Helmand
and
Kandahar, there continues to be tough fighting
down there as coalition
forces consolidate their
gains and transition areas
of those provinces to
Afghan lead," he said,

referring to Afghan
police and soldiers eventually taking responsibility for security in certain
areas.
"We have to look at
what commanders were
saying all along throughout the course of the year
— that we're really not
going to know until
October, at the end of this
fighting season, how
much progress we've
had," Dressler said.
Besides
the
66
Americans killed so far
this month, the NATO
coalition suffered the loss
of 14 other troops: two
British, four French, one
New Zealander, one
Australian, one Polish
and five others whose
nationalities have not yet
been disclosed.
So far this year, 403
international
service
members, including at
least 299 Americans,
have been killed in
Afghanistan.

Quiz topic:
The labor day blues

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Rio students receive Noyce scholarships

BY DR. JOYCE
BROTHERS
It’s time to celebrate
Labor Day again, but
this year it may be more
difficult than ever to find
anything to cheer about
on summer’s last lazy
weekend. The state of
the economy and the
persistence of joblessness in the United States
make the holiday a bleak
one for many. This quiz
examines the psychological side of being out of
work, and how best to
cope until the paychecks
start coming again.
1. While you are
unemployed, it’s a good
time to be a little hard
on yourself and think
about why it happened
so you will be able to
avoid the same situation
again.
TRUE (

) FALSE (

)

2. Being unemployed
is an opportune time to
have some fun.
TRUE (

) FALSE (

)

3. It’s best to keep
your job loss a secret
from your family and
friends if you can.
TRUE (

) FALSE (

)

4. Spending time
thinking about what has
gone wrong and the
hard times ahead is useful.
TRUE (

) FALSE (

)

5. Employment and
work are not the same
thing.
TRUE (

) FALSE (

)

6. Most people report
feeling a range of negative emotions when
unemployed.
TRUE (

) FALSE (

)

7. Isolating yourself in
a “cave” and holding a
pity party are equally
bad ideas.
TRUE (

) FALSE (

)

ANSWERS:
1. FALSE. Actually,
unless you really messed
up at work — and you
know who you are — it’s
not the best use of your
time to go over and over
what happened. In all
likelihood, there would
have been nothing you
could have done to prevent the situation, and
the sooner you realize
that high unemployment
is a normal part of the
economic cycle, the better. It is more useful to
be working on beefing
up your self-esteem during this time than to
spend it tearing yourself
down.
2. TRUE. While it may
be counter-intuitive to
deliberately set about
having fun while you are
unemployed
and
“should” be spending all
your time job-hunting, it
actually will make the
time pass less stressfully
and also may lead to networking opportunities
that may be lost if you
narrow your focus only
to job hunting. This is a
good time to spend time
with family, renew forgotten hobbies and
friendships, and generally take time for yourself
as well as your job hunt.
3. FALSE. The stress

Dr. Joyce Brothers
of keeping the secret,
going through some
elaborate scenario to
make leaving for work
believable,
looking
under rocks for other
income and losing out
on the supportiveness
you could rely on if you
were honest: All work to
make hiding your job
loss a bad idea. It is terrifying, embarrassing
and upsetting, but all
these emotions will not
be complicated by lying
if you just tell the truth
and allow others to commiserate and help you.
4. FALSE. It can be
helpful to take stock of
your situation, decide if
you want to change
direction and set a new
course, and put some
plans into motion. But
that is not the same as
dwelling on the past or
going over and over your
shortcomings in an endless circle called rumination. Keep rumination to
an absolute minimum,
and replace it with
action.
5. TRUE. Work is
activity that results in a
meaningful, psychologically satisfying life.
Employment is work
done for money. Few of
us, unfortunately, have
jobs that provide both
work and employment
that leave us satisfied,
but when employment is
taken away, there is no
reason we can’t start —
or keep — working. If
you can get by financially, use this time to figure
out what it is you really
love to do, and spend
whatever time you can
doing it.
6. TRUE. Anger, fear,
depression, thoughts of
suicide, anxiety, insomnia, embarrassment and
loss of self-esteem all go
hand in hand with unemployment, especially if
you strongly identify
with your job and its loss
may lead to foreclosure
or other financial disasters. It’s OK to acknowledge these negative feelings and more as a first
step to moving forward.
7. TRUE. While both
may provide some shortterm comfort, surrounding yourself with people
who are in a similar negative state of mind, or
with no one at all, are
not strategies for longterm good mental health
when it comes to unemployment. Keep such
ventures to a minimum.
If you answered five of
the seven questions correctly, you have what it
takes to beat the Labor
Day blues.

this yearʼs University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College recipients of the Robert Noyce Teacher
Scholarship.

RIO GRANDE – Five students from the University
of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College have
been awarded Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarships for
the 2011-2012 academic year.
This prestigious scholarship program provides
tuition funding as well as extra learning and networking opportunities for the students. Rio Grande,
Shawnee State University and Ohio University are
cooperating locally on the national grant program,
and students from each institution were able to be
awarded the scholarship this year.
The Rio Grande students who were selected as
Noyce Scholarship recipients for the new academic
year are Justin Williams, Ally Shaw, Margaret Harris,
Cassandra Mosher and Samantha MacGregor.
The scholarship program, which at Rio Grande is
for juniors and seniors studying in areas such as math
and science education, was established to enhance
the learning opportunities for students. Rio Grande
has taken part in the program for several years.
Students in the program receive full tuition scholarships and are also invited to work with other scholarship recipients at other colleges and universities.
Ally Shaw, an Adolescent to Young Adult (AYA)
life sciences major from Piketon, is receiving the
scholarship for the second year in a row this year.
During her first years as a Noyce Scholarship
recipient, Shaw said she particularly appreciated the
opportunity to attend events and work on projects
with scholarship recipients from other colleges and
universities.
“We help each other,” Shaw said. The students
work together throughout the year and talk about
their educational programs, teaching methods and
other items related to their academic progress, and
said attending conferences and other events were
great learning experiences.

Making the contacts with other scholarship recipients helps the students in the program, but it will also
help them when they are working full-time as teachers. Shaw said she and the other Noyce Scholarship
recipients already talk about issues involved with
their student teaching experiences, and she knows
she will be able to talk to the other recipients and
learn from them when they are all teaching full time
in schools.
MacGregor, who is middle childhood science and
language arts major from Albany is a first-time scholarship recipient.
She said receiving the scholarship money now will
help her greatly in the long run, and commented that
she is forward to taking part in all of the different
programs and activities as a Noyce Scholarship
recipient.
MacGregor added that she feels honored to be recognized in this way for her hard work and achievements.
The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program,
first authorized under the National Science
Foundation Authorization Act of 2002, is designed to
respond to the critical need for teachers in subjects
such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics across the country.
The program provides funding to institutions of
higher education to provide scholarships and programming support to prepare these students to teach
in grades K-12.
For more information on the Noyce Scholarship
recipients at Rio Grande, call Sangeeta Gulati at 1800-282-7201. For additional information on financial aid opportunities at Rio Grande, as well as information on the wide range of academic programs

Parents seek answers for son’s concussion, suicide
BY JOSEPH WHITE
AP SPORTS WRITER

NOKESVILLE, Va.
— Austin Trenum’s bed
remains half-made, the
way a typical teenager
would leave it. On a
shelf is his scarred black
helmet, the one he was
wearing when he tackled the quarterback near
the sidelines during
Brentsville High’s game
against Handley some
11 months ago. Austin’s
mouthpiece
remains
tucked neatly in the face
mask, ready to be taken
out for the next play.
For Austin, there was
no next play.
Downstairs in the
Trenum home, in the living room to the left of
the television, is a
memorial
in
photographs to the 17-yearold
college-bound
senior who wore No. 43
in football, No. 14 in
lacrosse, all sorts of
crazy hats when he felt
like it, a “fro-hawk” of
curly hair, and a pair of
women’s sunglasses on
a lark one day while riding back from the beach.
Austin’s final play left
him with a concussion.
Two days later, with the
rest of the family downstairs in the house, he
went up to his room and
hanged himself.
To the grieving parents, there is no doubt
that one caused the
other. Shortly after his
death, Gil and Michelle
Trenum made the difficult decision to donate
Austin’s
brain
for
research. Seated around
their dining table, they
told their son’s story,
hoping his death can
leave a legacy for others
of lessons learned —
that concussions still
aren’t taken as seriously
as they should be; that
athletes, parents, coaches, trainers and even
emergency room workers are often illinformed as to how to
treat them; that more of
a culture change is needed in a sport in which
blows to the head are
considered badges of
honor.
“I grew up in a football culture,” Michelle

Trenum said. “I’m from
Texas, and my father
went to college on a
football scholarship, and
we have three boys that
were all playing football. We referred to ‘getting your bell rung,’
‘getting
the
snot
knocked out of you,’
those types of things. I
never realized they were
traumatic brain injuries.
I thought as long as you
were getting up, you
were OK.”
“If our son did not
have a concussion, he
would be here right
now,” she added, fighting
back
tears.
“Actually, he wouldn’t
be here, he would be in a
dorm room.”
Concussion awareness
in sports is on the rise.
The NFL has done an
about-face in recent seasons, instituting returnto-play rules and other
strict guidelines after
years of being accused
of not taking the issue
seriously. Hearings have
been held on Capitol
Hill. Only four months
before Austin’s death,
the football world was
stunned by the suicide
of
University
of
Pennsylvania co-captain
Owen Thomas, who was
found to have a brain
disease that could have
been caused by repeated
head blows to the head.
But the full trove of
medical knowledge has
yet to filter down to the
high school level, and it
wasn’t there on the night
Austin was injured. His
parents took their groggy son to the emergency
room — Friday night is
already one of the worst
times to go to the hospital — and were told to
watch for bleeding
symptoms and to make
sure their son had 24
hours of restful activity.
So he watched game
film the next day. He
went fishing with a
friend in the afternoon.
He went to a concert
with his girlfriend that
evening. He texted. He
played video games. On
Sunday, he was doing
homework. He planned
to go to his girlfriend’s
house later to watch the
Redskins game. All of

which seemed suitably
restful.
But he also missed a
routine turn while driving a car near the home.
He couldn’t remember
something
obvious
while talking to his
friend while fishing. He
woke up early Sunday
and went downstairs to
play video games, something totally out of character for him. He had
also mentioned that he
had been getting a “football headache” after
every game, something
he hadn’t told his parents
before. They did know
that Austin, who played
linebacker and fullback,
had at least one concussion the previous season,
and probably two others
that fit symptoms he had
described.
For seemingly no reason at all, Austin went
upstairs Sunday afternoon and never returned.
Afterward, it wasn’t hard
to connect the dots. He
had no history of depression. Nor does his family. He was well liked at
school. He was in the top
6 percent of his class and
a shoo-in for James
Madison University. He
was making plans. All
the soul-searching for
answers led to only one.
“It was literally out of
the blue,” Michelle
Trenum said. “There was
nothing in his life, in his
character, in his emotions that would have
ever — we know it was a
concussion.”
The Trenums received
a call from Boston
University’s Center for
the Study of Traumatic
Encephalopathy, where
there is a bank of about
70 brains that have been
donated for study, many
from athletes and military veterans. It offered
a chance for some
answers.
“It was somebody who
thought we had a valid
point,” Michelle Trenum
said. “I worried about
my baby. It was very
hard. He was an organ
donor as well, and that
was hard. But I thought I
really want to know.”
The CSTE found that
Austin had a multifocal
axonal injury — struc-

tural damage to the
brain. Among the areas
affected was the portion
of the brain that affects
judgment and impulse
control. The doctors
can’t say for sure why
Austin killed himself,
but there is strong circumstantial evidence.
“We know that a concussion can be followed
with depression,” said
Dr. Robert Cantu, clinical professor of neurosurgery and co-director
of the center. “And
depression can be serious enough that hospitalization is required in a
small number of cases.
We also know that in his
brain there were structural abnormalities —
and (we are) clearly
very concerned that
there was cause and
effect because of that.
Do I know it with 100
percent certainty? No.
Can I put what percent
certainty I know it at?
No. Do I think it’s more
likely that not? Yes.”
The Trenums had their
answer. Now they want
to share it with others.
“It was scientific validation for what we
knew,” Michelle Trenum
said. “But it was an agonizing gift to be given
that
information
because you realize
there’s other parents out
there that have unanswered questions and
they’ve lost loved ones,
too. It’s what you do
with that. That’s why,
with Austin, we would
like his legacy to be that
other
people
were
helped, that other parents don’t have to go
through this, that other
teammates realize when
a teammate has a traumatic brain injury, they
realize it and bring it to
the attention of the
coach.”
The Trenums also
learned how their son’s
concussion should have
been treated. Someone
with symptoms as serious as Austin’s should
have rest with virtually
no brain stimulation at
all. No watching game
film. No fishing. No
concerts. No video
games. No texting. No
television. It should be

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

that way for as long as
the symptoms last, even
if it means days of inactivity.
“If it was my son
again,” Gil Trenum said,
“if he got another concussion, he would be
just laying down on the
couch.”
Gil Trenum is a member of the Prince
William County School
Board. He is wearing
two plastic bracelets,
orange from Austin’s
senior class and yellow
from the lacrosse team,
in his son’s memory. He
worked to get new
guidelines implemented
for all athletes at the
county’s schools. New
return-to-play criteria.
Concussion training for
trainers. A seminar that
includes an eye-opening
video, with attendance
mandatory for students
and their parents as a
prerequisite for participating in any sport, not
just football.
“I do want Prince
William County to lead
the way on that,” Gil
Trenum said. “I think
we can set the standard.”
And, along with that
standard, would come
the hoped-for culture
change. The Trenums
haven’t disavowed football — their youngest
son still plays the sport
— but they say it’s time
for athletes, parents and
coaches everywhere to
realize that a concussion
is a brain injury that
needs serious, informed
treatment.
Before it becomes a
life-or-death issue.
“Car seats are a good
example,” Gil Trenum
said. “When I was a
baby and came home
from the hospital, my
mom rode in the front
seat of the car, holding
me in her arms, no seat
belt. That was the way
things were done then.
Now we’ve got technology changes. We’ve got
procedural
changes.
We’ve got cultural
changes. People would
be shocked if you did
that now.”

Grilled cheese
with a tech twist
in San Francisco
BY RACHEL METZ
AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER

SAN FRANCISCO
—
Jonathan Kaplan made it easy for
consumers to shoot cheesy home
movies when he founded the
company behind the Flip Video
camcorder. Now, he’s hoping to
popularize something cheesier —
and gooier — by starting a chain
of grilled cheese restaurants that
combine fast food with high tech.
Kaplan’s latest creation, The
Melt, opens its first location
Tuesday in San Francisco’s
SoMa neighborhood. Plans are in
the works for two more restaurants in San Francisco and one in
nearby
Palo
Alto
by
Thanksgiving. With financial
backing from a venture-capital
heavyweight, Sequoia Capital,
Kaplan hopes to open 25 to 50
restaurants within the next year
and about 500 across the country
within five years.
No matter how much people
like grilled cheese, Kaplan’s plan
is audacious, considering the
state of the economy. Still, he
believes building this kind of
business makes sense, particularly during a time of uncertainty.
“Economically, it’s a good
time right now because people
want comfort food,” he says, seated on a stool at one of the barheight tables at his bright whiteand-orange-hued eatery.
Kaplan was flipping around
the idea for The Melt even before
the creation of the Flip Video,
which the company he co-founded, Pure Digital, began selling in
2007. About 10 years ago, Kaplan
says, he started researching grilled
cheese to see if it could become
the main food attraction for a
national chain. As part of his
research, he solicited customers’
opinions about the sandwich at
the giant Mall of America in
Bloomington, Minn. He was
buoyed by their responses.
Kaplan was convinced a
grilled cheese chain could succeed, but there was one big sticking point: How do you make the
sandwiches consistent when you
have hourly employees — who
aren’t professional chefs —
behind the counter?
Not sure how to solve this problem at the time, he put his plan on
the back burner. In the meantime,
he started Pure Digital. The company’s Flip Video, a simple, lowcost, pocket-sized video camera,
paved the way for an entire market. In 2009, Cisco Systems Inc.
bought Pure Digital for $590 million as part of an effort to branch
out from its core business of making computer networking equipment. Kaplan became general
manager of Cisco’s consumer
products division.
But Kaplan left Cisco in
February. Two months later,
Cisco discontinued Flip Video
and shut down Pure Digital as it
gave up in part on its goals for the
consumer market. Kaplan decided it was time to give grilled
cheese a go.

Romney on Perry turf
assails ‘career politicians’
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney castigated "career
politicians" Tuesday as he tried to distinguish himself from chief rival Rick Perry while on the governor's home turf in Texas.
"I am a conservative businessman. I spent most of
my life outside of politics, dealing with real problems in the real economy," Romney said told the
Veterans of Foreign Wars annual convention in San
Antonio. "Career politicians got us into this mess
and they simply don't know how to get us out."
Romney didn't mention Perry by name during the
speech, which comes as national polls show Perry
with more support than Romney. For months,
Romney has led the pack seeking the GOP presidential nomination.
Even so, the contrast Romney is seeking to draw
is clear. He was a businessman who founded a venture capital firm and headed the 2002 Olympic
Winter Games in Salt Lake City before serving a
single term as Massachusetts governor. Perry is
Texas' longest-serving governor and has been an
elected public official for 27 years, having served
as lieutenant governor, agricultural commissioner
and a state representative before becoming governor in 2000.
Tuesday's remarks provide strong clues about
Romney's strategy for trying to derail Perry, who
jolted the race earlier this month by formally
becoming a candidate. At a time when the electorate is suffering economically and has shown a
willingness to embrace outsiders, Romney is trying
to paint Perry as just another politician on the
inside who doesn't understand how to create jobs.
He doesn't mention that Texas added tens of thousands of jobs on Perry's watch, though critics question how much credit the governor can claim.
At the same time, Romney is seeking to paint
himself as the outsider — even though he's essentially been running for president since 2006. He
lost the GOP nomination to John McCain in 2008
and spent the next couple years quietly laying the
groundwork for a second bid. To voters looking for
a candidate, Romney promotes his time as an executive at consulting firm Bain and Company and as
the founder of Bain Capital, a venture capital and
investment company.
Romney's advisers are eyeing Perry's rise in popularity closely. Perry's late entry forced a recalibration of Romney's pitch as a proven executive in
both the public and private spheres. With a decade
as Texas governor, Perry's candidacy stands to edge
out Romney's claim as the most experienced executive in the race.
During his speech to an audience about half the
size that Perry drew a day earlier, Romney pointed
to his years outside Washington and in the private
sector, saying they gave him a fresh perspective on
how best to manage federal defense spending.
"I look at that kind of inefficiency and bloat and
say, 'Let me at it,' " Romney said. He won his most
enthusiastic applause when he promised to slice
billions of dollars in waste, inefficiency and
bureaucracy from the defense budget to free up
money for modern ships and planes, more troops
and ensuring that veterans have the care they
deserve.

tion a person wants to go.
In terms of economic development, Gerlach said it’s
not a death sentence to a project just because the location is in a flood plain, saying Pomeroy is an example
of how with a little dirt, businesses can exist by being
raised up to a safe level. He also said a focus is being put
on the lower end of Middleport near Hobson which has
the potential for a boat landing or warehouse. He added
the Meigs County Council on Aging’s Senior Center is
still interested in the old Middleport High School for
use but finding the funding needed is taking longer than
anticipated which has stalled but not killed the project.
Other announcements:
At 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., Sept. 20 at the Middleport
Family Life Center, Farmers Bank will host “Seniors
and Money” seminars with Ohio Treasurer Josh
Mandel.
A spokesperson from Frontier announced even more
high-speed Internet service is being offered throughout
the more rural areas of Meigs County, including on
Rocksprings and Kingsbury roads, as well as other locations.
Meigs County Chamber Director Luke Ortman
announced the luncheons would continue on a monthly
basis with the next one at noon, Sept. 27 at the Wild
Horse banquet room with a speaker from the US Army
National Guard Reserves speaking about business
opportunities.
Ortman also said the Fall Recognition Dinner is set
for Nov. 3 at Kountry Resort Campground, Racine.

Arizona man describes shears impaling eye socket
PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) — An 86-year-old Arizona man
whose eye socket was impaled with a pair of pruning shears
said Tuesday he experienced excruciating pain during the
ordeal and feels lucky to be alive.
Leroy Luetscher, a Wisconsin native who now lives in
Green Valley in southern Arizona, said he had just finished
trimming plants in his backyard on July 30 when he lost his
balance and fell on the pruning shears.
The tool went into his right eye socket and down into his
neck, resting against the carotid artery. Half the shears were
left in his head pushing up against his eye, while the other
half was sticking out.
Luetscher said he put his hand to his face and realized the
shears had gone into his eye.
"I didn't know if my eyeball was still there or what," he
said. "I never had pain like that in all my life."
Luetscher, whose face was gushing blood, was able to
walk to the laundry room of his house and beckon his longtime live-in girlfriend, Arpy Williams, who called 911.
An ambulance rushed him to University Medical Center
in Tucson, where a team of surgeons immediately took
scans of his brain and came up with a plan to treat him.
"It was a bit overwhelming," said Dr. Lynn Polonski, one
of Luetscher's surgeons. "It was wedged in there so tightly,
you could not move it. It was part of his face."
Polonski said the team made incisions underneath his
right upper lip and his sinus wall, allowing them to loosen
the handle of the pruning shears with their fingers. "Once
we were able to loosen it up, it went fairly easily," he said.
Doctors also rebuilt Luetscher's orbital floor with a titanium plate and put him on antibiotics for 20 days to stave
off an infection that could have proved fatal.
Luetscher still has slight swelling in his eyelids and
minor double vision but has otherwise recovered.
Polonski said so many things could have gone much
worse for Luetscher.
The shears could have ruptured his eye ball, hit his brain
or severed his carotid artery.
"You know, if it went a little bit in a different direction,
it basically could have killed him or he could have had a
stroke," Polonski said. "He's was very lucky that it missed
all vital structures and we were basically able to put him
back together."
Polonski said he's never seen anything like Luetscher's
injury in his 13 years as a
surgeon.
Luetscher said he was
born and raised about 30
miles outside Madison,
Wis., and worked as an
executive in the dairy industry before retiring to
Arizona in 1998.
He said he's not sure he'll
be doing much more gardening in the future.
"If that instrument had
gone in any direction different than it did, I would have
bled right there to death," he
said.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2011:
This year, open up to life’s possibilities. You maintain a cautious attitude, especially concerning finances.
A boss or parent might push you
beyond your limits. Discussions and
meetings play a role in your decision
making. Detach, and you’ll gain even
more of a perspective. If you are
single, someone from a very different
culture could become important. Ask
yourself if you can accept this lifestyle
before diving in. If you are attached,
the two of you gain by detaching and
walking in the other person’s shoes
more often. LIBRA can be possessive.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
++++ Allow a partner to take
over. He or she might be overly serious and driven. Curb your temper
at work or when dealing with others.
Being hot under the collar simply
doesn’t help. Allow greater give-andtake at home. Tonight: Go for something peaceful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
+++ You are still dealing with a
situation in your daily life. It could be
health related. Before making any
major decisions, check in with a doctor or dentist. Keep up with your yearly checkups. Don’t react to someone
at work. Tonight: Busy doing errands,
catching up on news, etc.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
+++++ Reach out to a key
person. He or she could be unusually somber. Don’t take this person’s
mood personally. Could fatigue be
playing a role in your decisions right
now? Don’t push yourself. Tonight: All
smiles after a power nap.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
++++ Be aware of a tendency
to limit yourself or someone you live
with. An investment might be slow to
come to fruition. You might wonder
what is happening with a family member. Don’t make any decisions until
you get a sense of the big picture.
Tonight: Play it cool.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
++++ Keep conversations moving, despite an awkward moment or
two. You can deal with others, but
also look within. You might be a lot
angrier than you realize. Verbalize
what you think. At the same time,
don’t push too hard. Tonight: Speak

HOROSCOPE

your mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
++++ Your finances could have
you feeling restricted. You want to
join a friend, but it will cost you. Keep
a conversation involving your home
and potential responsibility moving.
Note fatigue; consider taking a nap.
Tonight: Your treat.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
+++++ If you can get past negativity, much that is of value will greet
you. A partner or associate would like
to share good news, but not at the
expense of a bah-humbug response.
A professional opportunity comes
through a meeting. Tonight: Remain
open to several different options.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
+++++ Follow through with a
boss or higher-up. Don’t keep the
same discussion going over and over
in your head. Take a walk and move
through a problem more quickly.
You could be misreading a situation.
Tonight: Do your thing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
++++ Zero in on what you want,
and don’t sell yourself short. Meetings
could be more important than you
think. You draw many people toward
you. An associate might be wanting more from a project. This rigidity
makes you uncomfortable. Tonight:
Where the action is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
+++ Follow your instincts. Don’t
be a back-seat driver, whether at
work or in a social setting. Step up
and lead. A partner could be a bit difficult, and no matter what you do, it
makes no difference. Stay mellow and
centered. Brainstorm with a trusted
associate or friend. Tonight: Could
be late.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
+++++ You might be thinking about the weekend. Try to stay
grounded in the moment, or else you
might not accomplish what you feel is
necessary. Someone could be difficult
to speak to. Share your feelings in an
appropriate manner. Tonight: Let your
imagination go.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
++++ You could handle a personal matter differently if you work
with a key individual. Walk away from
a power play where you might feel left
out. A conversation could be misleading, though the other person might not
intend it to be. Tonight: Togetherness.

Blue Angels top Minford in season opener
BY BRYAN WALTERS
BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM

CENTENARY, Ohio
—
The
Gallia
Academy volleyball
team opened the 2011
home schedule in style
Monday night, posting
a 25-19, 25-21, 25-16
victory over visiting
Minford in the seasonopening match for
both non-conference

opponents.
The host Blue Angels
(1-0) received quite a test
from the Lady Falcons
(0-1) in the first two
games, which resulted in
wins of six and four
points for an early 2-0
advantage.
But in the third and
final
game,
GAHS
stormed out early and
never looked back en
route to a nine-point vic-

Cover boy Hillis
hands off Madden
game to Browns
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
The Madden 12 cover
boy isn’t much of a
gamer.
Peyton Hillis prefers
bashing people for real.
“I was never a very big
video guy, but it’s kind
of cool,” Hillis said. “I
wouldn’t say it’s one of
my hobbies, no.”
Already a powerful,
punishing force on the
field, Hillis is about to
burst into living rooms
across the country. Your
TV may never be the
same.
The Browns’ star running back is gracing the
cover of Madden 12, the
immensely
popular
video game which will
be released to the public
on
Tuesday.
Hillis
passed out advance
copies of the game to his
grateful teammates, who
see his national exposure
as a positive for the
Browns.
“That’s our boy,” safety Mike Adams said.
“For him to get up there
on the cover is great for
all of us.”
Hillis rushed for 1,177
yards in 2010, an unexpected breakout season
for the 25-year-old who
arrived from Denver in
the trade for quarterback
Brady Quinn. Hillis was
typically low-key and
humble about gracing
the cover, which he
earned by beating out
Philadelphia quarterback
Michael Vick in a
nationwide vote of over
16 million fans.
“It’s exciting,” Hillis
said
after
practice
Monday. “I’ve been very
blessed. I’m kind of
speechless at times. I’m
grateful, but it’s time to
move on.”
Hillis says he’s not
worried about the socalled Madden Curse,
which is like the Sports
Illustrated Cover Jinx.
Players who have been
on the Madden cover
have had a drop in performance the next season or been injured.
He’s also ignoring outside skeptics who don’t
believe he can match
last season’s production.
“I really don’t care
what people think,”
Hillis said. “I’m a guy
who is going to go out
there and do his best,

and I’m a guy who has
always gone out there
and proved people
wrong. I’m not worried
about it and I’ve never
been worried about a
curse. I’m just going to
go out and do my best.”
With the Browns signing left Pro Bowl offensive tackle Joe Thomas
to a seven-year, $84 million contract extension
last week, it would figure that Hillis would be
next in line for a new
deal. He’s heading into
the final year of a contract that will pay him
just $555,000 this season.
Hillis isn’t worried
about anything but playing football.
“Whenever it is my
time and whenever the
Browns feel like they
want to take care of me,
they will,” he said. “I’m
going to go over here
and do my best and
prove myself to them
because this is a business and you still got to
produce every day and
every year as much as
you can. That’s going to
be my responsibility and
my outlook from here on
out.”
On Sunday, Hillis
showed up with boxes
filled with the new
Madden video and handed them off in the locker
room. He also gave a
copy
to
first-year
Browns
coach
Pat
Shurmur, who admitted
he’s not much of a
“gamer” either and has
never played Madden.
Shurmur
said
his
teenage son, Kyle, is
somewhat of an expert.
“I think he’s interested
to see what I look like in
the game too,” Shurmur
joked.
Safety T.J. Ward hasn’t
had a chance to play the
new version of Madden
yet. But once he’s
plugged in, Ward said
the first thing he’ll do is
check out his virtual
self.
“That’s what everyone
does,” he said. “You
check your version first
and if that game doesn’t
have you up to par,
you’re going to be like,
‘Ah, man, this isn’t
right.’ Everyone’s goal
as a kid is to not only
make it to the league, but
to be on Madden.”

Bengals RB Benson gets jail sentence in Texas
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —
Cincinnati Bengals running back
Cedric Benson was sentenced to
20 days in jail Monday after
reaching a deal to settle two misdemeanor assault cases in Texas.
Benson said he will surrender to
authorities on Oct. 17, which is
the Monday of Cincinnati’s bye
week.
“This was a difficult decision
for Mr. Benson,” said Sam
Bassett, the running back’s attorney. “His priority right now is to
get back to work and put these
legal matters behind him.”
Benson’s jail time could be significantly shorter than the sentence. He could be given credit for
any time served when he was
arrested and state law requires
inmates be given two days credit
for every day they are rewarded
for good behavior. Jail overcrowding also could shorten his stay.
But for now, the Bengals must
make plans to be without their

leading rusher. They declined
comment Monday.
Benson was arrested in 2010 for
allegedly punching a bar employee in Austin, an incident that
earned him a meeting with NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell last
year but resulted in no punishment. He pleaded no contest to a
charge of assault with injury in
that case.
He also was arrested last month
for allegedly punching a former
roommate in downtown Austin.
He pleaded no contest to a charge
of assault with bodily injury with
family violence, and that will be
dismissed if he performs 30 hours
of community service and pays an
undisclosed amount of restitution
to the victim.
“We’re pleased that Mr. Benson
took responsibility for his actions
today and we think this was a just
result given the facts of the case,”
said Corby Holcomb, assistant
trial director with the Travis

County Attorney’s Office.
The 28-year-old Benson was
Chicago’s first-round pick out of
the University of Texas in 2005.
He had two alcohol-related arrests
with the Bears, who let him go in
2008.
He signed as a free agent with
the Bengals and led them in rushing each of the last three years —
747 yards in 2008, 1,251 yards in
2009 and 1,111 yards in 2010.
He was disappointed last season
when the Bengals went away
from their run-based offense that
won them the AFC North title in
2009, then finished 4-12. After
the Bengals changed offensive
coordinators, Benson lobbied to
stay in Cincinnati and signed a
one-year deal. He provides a runfirst option in coordinator Jay
Gruden’s new offense, which is
being led by rookie quarterback
Andy Dalton.
Benson also must pay a $4,000
fine within 30 days.

Man gets probation in ‘Pacman’ Jones case in Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A former
bodyguard for NFL football player Adam “Pacman” Jones has
been sentenced in Las Vegas to
probation, community service and
anger management counseling for
his role in a Las Vegas strip club
fracas and shooting that left three
people wounded in February
2007.
Robert “Big Rob” Reid, 31, of
Compton, Calif., was sentenced
Thursday by Clark County
District Court Judge Douglas
Herndon after pleading an equivalent of no contest in December
2007 to misdemeanor conspiracy
to commit disorderly conduct,
said his lawyer, Robert Langford.
“It closes the case or Mr. Reid,”
Langford said Tuesday. He said
Reid still works as a bodyguard
and has been involved in the filming of a reality TV show featuring
strippers touring on a bus.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal
first reported Reid’s sentencing
(http://bit.ly/mT7Vo2
)
on
Tuesday.
Authorities allege that Jones
instigated the shooting by throw-

ing wads of dollar bills from a
large plastic trash bag onto a stage
at the club, called Minxx, during
NBA All-Star game weekend in
Las Vegas.
Jones, 27, now plays defensive
cornerback for the Cincinnati
Bengals. He has denied a role in
the shooting.
Police alleged that Jones met
outside the club with Arvin Kenti
Edwards of Renton, Wash., before
Edwards opened fire.
Edwards, 32, was sentenced
earlier this month to four to 10
years in prison after entering a socalled Alford plea to attempted
murder with use of a deadly
weapon. The plea avoided trial
and spared Edwards an admission
of guilt but acknowledged that
prosecutors could prove the case
against him.
Jones is serving one year of
probation for his Alford plea in
December 2007 to conspiracy to
commit disorderly conduct — the
same against Reid.
Jones could face a hearing in
Las Vegas about whether an arrest
in July at an Ohio bar violated

terms of that sentence.
The district attorney in Las
Vegas, David Roger, has said he
was reviewing police accounts of
Jones’ arrest on charges of resisting arrest and misdemeanor disorderly conduct before deciding
whether to ask a Nevada judge if
Jones violated a stay-out-of-trouble order.
Roger didn’t immediately
respond Tuesday to messages
seeking comment.
Langford, who also represents
Jones, said he didn’t think Jones’
case in Ohio would lead to a hearing in Las Vegas.
Jones was a 2005 first-round
draft pick by the Tennessee
Titans. He’s been in and out of
legal trouble, with at least six
arrests over the years and involvement in about a dozen situations
that included police intervention.
He was suspended by the
league for the entire 2007 season
and six games in 2008 following
off-field incidents. He sat out the
2009 season before signing a twoyear deal in May 2010 to play for
Cincinnati.

Marshall coach undecided on starting backfield
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)
— The countdown has started to
Marshall’s season opener with
No. 24 West Virginia, and the
Thundering Herd’s backfield is
nowhere near set.
Coach Doc Holliday has yet to
name a starting quarterback and
running back for Sunday’s game
in Morgantown. He’s hardly worried, knowing that any of his candidates will have the skills and
knowledge of the system to start
the season in charge.
Holliday will choose between
freshman Rakeem Cato and
sophomore A.J. Graham at quarterback and freshman Travon Van
and sophomore Tron Martinez at
running back.

Martinez started three games a
year ago and played in 11, while
Graham saw action in two games
in a backup role.
Marshall began fall practice
with four candidates as possible
replacements for three-year
starter Brian Anderson before
Holliday narrowed it down to
Cato and Graham, both former
prep standouts in Florida.
The 6-foot-4 Graham completed 10 of 12 passes last year before
being redshirted.
Cato has surprised many in preseason practices and if he doesn’t
take the first offensive snap, it
may only be a matter of time. In
December, he threw three touchdown passes in leading Miami

Central to the Florida Class 6A
championship.
Holliday hinted Monday he
might name his quarterback as
early as Tuesday.
“Both of them are talented
young guys,” Holliday said.
“They’re both young. They
haven’t played a lot of football.
Offensively they both can fit in
to what we’re trying to get done.”
Marshall has had six starting
quarterbacks with so-so seasons
since Byron Leftwich and Chad
Pennington piled up ridiculous
numbers
in
leading
the
Thundering Herd to numerous
championship and five straight
bowl wins from 1998 to 2002.
