According to the group’s website, ” In October of 2009 Josh Jordan’s dad, Bro. Fain Jordan, passed away unexpectedly. It was shortly thereafter, while struggling with shock and a great sense of loss, the Lord allowed Josh, his wife Randa, and their three boys to hear the single “Dealing With Gold” by the Inspirations while driving down the road one evening. Through this song, the Lord brought great comfort to their family and touched their hearts deeply. It quickly became a favorite of the entire family. After purchasing the album in its entirety, the Jordan children – Hutch, Alex and Grant – quickly started singing along with each of its tracks… (The family) began by learning the boy’s favorite track, “Dealing With Gold” Sunday, July 15, 2018 s $2 One arrested on drug charges Riffle facing 13 count indictment Staff Report MIDDLEPORT — One person was taken into custody on Friday as task force agents and local law enforcement executed a search warrant at a Middleport residence.

Museum begins interior improvements By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — The Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum is moving forward with plans to make use of around $125,000 it anticipates to receive as part of the passage of the Ohio General Assembly’s capital budget bill. The bill awarded the monetary amount to the museum and various amounts to other entities across southern Ohio in May. According to the museum’s board of trustees Vice-President Jerry Davis, the process and organization of interior improvements is starting. “We’re in the process of trying and, of course, we won’t know (what can be accomplished) until we get specific estimates from local contractors,” said Davis. “(President) Jim (Love) is checking with a professional firm to recondition the outside of cabooses.” The warm season of 2017 was spent replacing the museum’s roof as well as placing authentic rail track outside the museum, complete with a caboose. So far this summer, MPW Services has assisted in washing the interior of the old freight station building to rid it of bird excrement.

But what are antioxidants and what do they actually do? Your body’s cells face threats from many things like bacteria and viruses, but another threat to the body is free radicals. Free radicals are natural occurrences that happens when your body turns food to energy. They have been linked to damaging cells which can cause aging and diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s Halle and heart disease. However, do not Koneval Contributing fear, we are not completely helpless against free radicals! columnist Antioxidants can counteract free radicals and prevent cell damage in your body. Your body can produce some antioxidants, but you get the majority from the food you eat. Some of the best sources of antioxidants are fruit and vegetables, although they can also be found in milk, eggs, nuts and seeds, and whole grains. Antioxidants are also found in vitamins including vitamin A, C and E. Eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables is a great way to make sure you are getting enough of the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals your body needs. In other words, make your plate colorful! Incorporate dark leafy greens, red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables in your diet every day. Fruits and vegetables taste the best and are cheaper when they are in season. Eating in season is a popular phrase meaning harvesting produce that is native to the area at its peak time of flavor. Some seasonal produce available this summer in Ohio rich in antioxidants include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, broccoli, cabbage, and spinach. A great resource to find out what is in season in your area anytime of the year is www.seasonalfoodguide.org. There is not a suggested daily amount for antioxidants; you can receive most of these antioxidants just by eating a healthy and balanced diet. Which means there is really no need to buy and consume expensive supplements. THEIR VIEW See the best of your community: Visit a fair We’re blessed in Ohio. Be it our natural resources, our climate, our places or our people — we are lucky to live where we do. This summer and fall, each of us has an opportunity to see first-hand the best of each of Ohio’s communities by visiting a fair. Ohio’s 94 county and independent fairs are showcases of our towns and cities and the Ohio State Fair is recognized David T. as one of the top exhibitions in the Daniels nation. Together, these events demContributing onstrate all that is good about the columnist places we call home. Fairs are unique. Before our eyes, we get to watch the future of an industry learn and grow. Food and agriculture is Ohio’s largest industry, accounting for $124 billion and one in every eight Ohio jobs. Fairs are the proving grounds and the learning labs for the next generation of workers and leaders in this industry. We don’t get to watch a nine-year-old future lawyer argue before a judge. But we can watch a teenager pick out an animal; learn how to feed and care for it; prepare and show that animal against his or her peers; and then sell it at a livestock sale, ultimately for consumption by the public. The future of agriculture is on display every day at our county and independent fairs and I hope you’ll take the chance to see it for yourself. We can learn at our fairs, too. I firmly believe that one of the greatest misunderstood concepts of our time is responsible food production. Only two percent of our population lives on the farm and produces food and other products for the remaining 98 percent. Fairs help to educate everyone about the importance of agriculture and how Ohio’s farmers and producers go to great lengths to produce food and fiber responsibly. Ohio’s fairs have something for everyone. Entertainment, food, exhibitions, competitions, music, camping, animals – you name it and you can find it on a fairground. It’s a place where people of all ages from different backgrounds with varying tastes can gather together to learn something, see something or do something. People are always happy at the fair. Now doesn’t that sound like a place to go and spend some time? I hope you and your family will make time to do so this year. David T. Daniels is the Director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture. THEIR VIEW There’s no harm in watching people A few weeks ago I discovered for myself what some people have been enjoying for all of their lives. Simply watching people proved itself a fun exercise, not to mock or belittle anyone within the recesses of my mind as they crossed my field of vision, but to observe and appreciate the variety of humanity out there as they go about their business. There’s really no deeper answer to why watching people can be a pleasurable experience if you’re so inclined; if in the right frame of mind, it just is. And before you get the wrong idea, I’m not advocating peeping or other forms of voyeurism here. Just taking in the everyday movement in the world wherever people gather, from shopping malls to bean dinners. Watching can be just downright fascinating. Being naturally curious, I believe I started scoping out individuals in school or at public places when I was quite young. That is, until too many hostile reactions along the lines of “What are you (fill in the expletive) lookin’ at?!” made me more cautious or a believer in minding my own business. After awhile I’d use situations where I’d be waiting on an appointment or getting the car repaired to catch up on my reading. I wasn’t bothering anyone and no one was bothered by me. But recently having had a couple of hours to kill between procedures at an area medical complex put me in a position to follow my usual routine and scan whatever book I was into at the time. However, the life and literary output of Louis Bromfield didn’t appeal to me at the moment, and since the site had a large reception area equipped with fairly comfortable chairs, I opted to get a coffee from the cafe down the corridor and plant myself near the entrance to enjoy the comings and goings. I then found that watching folks was a distraction I’d missed out on for a long time. the rule, as it Again, I wasn’t once was back in looking to make the day. fun of anyone or A few years ago what they were I noted on Facedoing, not even book that my wife the older gentleBeth and I had man down the hallrun a series of way who seemed Kevin errands that took to be mounting a Kelly filibuster for the Contributing us to Gallipolis, Cheshire and benefit of friends columnist Middleport all in and family surone morning.

The creation of the River Museum recognized that link and the heritage shared by generations of people who worked and continue to work on “the boats,” to use the local term for employment on the river. Under the guidance of a knowledgeable staff, the museum offers an education to the uninitiated about riverboats, commerce and other aspects of a culture that took its life from the waters of the Ohio and Kanawha. That’s why it was so disheartening to see the building housing the museum damaged by fire on July 1. But it’s also encouraging that the community has rallied to support the museum, helping the staff move rescued exhibits to a new location and raising funds to meet other needs. If you care about the museum and what it does, make a donation to the River Museum Rebuild Fund at Ohio Valley Bank’s Point Pleasant branch, or on Facebook at https:// www.gofundme.com/ river-museum-fire-recovery-fund. Donations can be made directly to the museum by phone (304674-0144 or 304-6749898) if it’s a card payment, or by mail to P.O. Box 412, Point Pleasant, W.Va. 25550. By doing so, you’ll help preserve an important part of local history we cannot afford to lose.

Woman guilty of baby’s death TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio woman who prosecutors say shook her boyfriend’s 7-month-old son so violently that he died from brain trauma has been convicted. The Blade reports a jury in Toledo deliberated for four hours Thursday before finding 41-year-old Angie Walker guilty of murder, felonious assault and child endangering. Prosecutors said at trial that Walker was the only person with Levi Ashley the day he was shaken and rendered brain dead in April 2017. He died at a hospital the day after medics found him unresponsive at a suburban Toledo home. Walker told police that Levi suddenly went limp. Her attorney challenged the autopsy finding at trial and said Levi had pneumonia and could have died of sepsis. He said there was no evidence Walker killed Levi. Celebrating the Life of JOSE A.

Friday On Friday evening, Steve Moakler will perform at 7:30 p.m. followed by Tritt at 9:30 p.m. Local musicians Johnnie Black and Mikele Buck Band will be the opening performances. Tritt is an American country music singer and songwriter. He signed to Warner Bros. Records in in 1989, releasing seven studio albums and a greatest hits package for the label between then and 1999. In the 2000’s, he released two albums on Columbia Records and one for the now defunct Category 5 Records. Seven of his albums are certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The highest-certified is 1991’s “It’s All About to Change,” which is certified triple-platinum. Tritt has also charted more than 40 times on the hot country songs charts, including five number ones and 15 additional top 10 singles. Tritt’s musical style is defined by mainstream country and Southern rock influences. He has received two Grammy Awards, both for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 1992 for “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’,” a duet with Marty Stuart, and again in 1998 for “Same Old Train,” a collaboration with Stuart and nine other artists. In addition, he has received four awards from the Country Music Association, and has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1992. Moakler, who is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, native moved to Nashville in 2006 to pursue his musical career. He has sold out venues across the country and topped the iTunes chart on multiple occasions. This year, he has been on several “artists to watch” lists such as CMT, Huffington Post, Rolling Stone Country, Taste Of Country, Tidal, and was featured on the “Spotlight On Country 2016” play list on Spotify and the “New Artist Spotlight in Country” on iTunes. Moakler’s career as a songwriter has seen releases by artists like Ashley Monroe, Jake Owen, Kelli Pickler, Ben Rector as well as the chart success of Dierks Bentley’s title-track, “Riser.” Produced by Grammywinning producer, Luke Laird, Moakler released his self-titled EP in March, which includes “Suitcase,” his debut single. Johnnie Black is a singer and song-writer from Milton. Black started playing music in church when he was six years old with his uncle and grandparents. Music has always been a big part of Black’s life. Recently, he was signed by Echota Photos from the artist websites and Facebook pages Dillon Jarrell File Photo Travis Tritt File Photo Chase Rice File Photo Steve Moakler Photos from the artist websites and Facebook pages Muscadine Bloodline Photos from the artist websites and Facebook pages Mikele Buck Band Records. Some of his original songs include “Mortar and Stone,” “Like Never Before,” and “Haunted Tune.” The Mikele Buck Band is a West Virginian local band comprised of Buck, Caleb Keen, Ray Stephenson Jr, and Brandon Ross. Buck was a drummer in rock bands during his high school career and after graduation Buck bought a guitar. He began writing his own music and performing around his hometown. Buck’s original songs are a blend of all his musical influences, including Steve Earle, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt as well as artists like Randy Rodgers Band and Reckless Kelly. After returning from the Iraq war in 2005, Buck went to Nashville to record his first CD and established his first band near Greenville, NC. The band’s popularity grew and soon they were opening up for major acts such as Jason Aldean and Joe Nichols. Over the past 2 years, the Mikele Buck Band has opened up for numerous national country acts including Jon Pardi, Brett Eldredge, Jason Micheal Carol, and David Nail. They have also had the privilege of opening up the Carolina Country Music Festival in Myrtle Beach in front of Hunter Photos from the artist websites and Facebook pages The Band BeaverCreek Hayes and Lady Antebellum. Saturday On Saturday evening, Muscadine Bloodline will take the stage at 7:30 p.m., opening up for headliner Chase Rice who performs at 9:30 p.m. Gallia locals Dillon Jarrell and The Band BeaverCreek will also be performing. Rice has been described as being one of country music’s most exciting figures since arriving in Nashville. He has built a loyal fan base across the country through his energetic live shows and gaining the attention of music critics and industry professionals alike with his edgy, eclectic sound. The North Carolina native has inked a new label deal with Broken Bow Records and is putting the finishing touches on his sophomore album, “Lambs & Lion.” Rice’s debut album “Ignite the Night” debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and number three on the all-genre chart. He produced a pair of top five hits, the Platinum-certified “Ready Set Roll” and “Gonna Wanna Tonight.” After supporting Kenny Chesney’s “The Big Revival” tour 2015, Rice consistently sold out 2,500-3,000 seat venues on his “JD and Jesus” tour and “Everybody We Know Does” tour, and will launch his 2017 “Lambs & Lions” tour this fall. Muscadine Bloodline, a duo comprised of natives of Mobile, Alabama, Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster came together in early 2016. With three single releases under their belt and a schedule full of shows spanning from coast to coast, they have hit the ground running from day one. Nashville took notice the first time these two stepped on the stage and it is no surprise the rest of the music world is quickly catching on. Muncaster’s vocals complimented by Gary’s harmonies and masterful guitar licks, Muscadine Bloodline is a powerfully refreshing mix of talent, passion, and unfiltered authenticity. Infamously undaunted by the big stage, their sound intertwines the brash irreverence of early southern rockers with the seductive quality of 90’s country love songs. Hooks heard in songs like “Porch Swing Angel” and the aggressively anthemic “Shut Your Mouth” stand as a testament to Muscadine Bloodline’s wide ranging music making capability. Every song and every show is a moving experience but at the same time. Photos from the artist websites and Facebook pages Johnnie Black Dillon Jarrell is a country music singer and songwriter born and raised in Gallipolis, Ohio. His love for music started at an early age, but he never began pursuing anything musically until after graduating high school.

CENTENARY, Ohio — The historic season went well rewarded. The Gallia Academy softball team — after sharing its first-ever Ohio Valley Conference championship with Coal Grove — had six players chosen to the All-OVC squad for the program’s efforts during the 2018 campaign. The Blue Angels (186) — who went 11-3 in conference and also advanced to the district semifinals — had four first team representatives and two honorable mention selections. GAHS also had half of its recipients earn repeat allleague honors. Junior pitcher Hunter Copley, sophomore shortstop Alex Barnes, freshman outfielder Bailie Young and freshman catcher Ryelee Sipple were individually named to the first team. Sophomore third baseman Bailey Meadows and freshman outfielder Chasity Adams were the honorable mention choices on behalf of the Blue and White. Copley was a first team recipient on the 2017 All-OVC squad, while Barnes and Meadows were honorable mention selections a year ago. The complete All-OVC list was never received by any media outlets, therefore only Gallia Academy’s selections were available for this story. The OVC does not select a player of the year and the 2018 coach of the year was unknown as of press time. All-Star Game a celebration of baseball in Washington WASHINGTON (AP) — Mark Lerner’s first letter to then-commissioner Bud Selig after his family bought the Nationals asked to host the All-Star Game. “It’s something I’ve wanted from the moment we got the team,” Lerner said. Thirteen years after Major League Baseball returned to Washington and almost that long since Mark and father Ted Lerner were chosen as owners of their new hometown team, they finally get to throw their party. The fourth All-Star Game in the nation’s capital and first since 1969 is a celebration of a new generation of Washington residents rediscovering the connection to baseball that for so long wasn’t a part of the town’s sporting identity. “When we first came here, baseball had been gone for so long — basically an entire generation,” longtime Nationals infielder Ryan Zimmerman said. “You almost had to re-learn how to be baseball fans. In the 13 years or so now, it’s been fun for me to be here from the beginning because the organization, the team has kind of grown along with the fan base. I think it’s been fun for both of us kind of starting out. The organization and the team lost a lot. The fans were better than we were as a team at the beginning, but we kind of grew up together.” When the relocated Montreal Expos moved in 2005, Washington had gone 33 seasons without baseball, save for the Baltimore Orioles 40 miles away. Three incarnations of the Senators — 18911899, 1901-1960 before becoming the Minnesota Twins and 1961-71 before becoming the Texas Rangers — came and went, leaving a gap in Washington that almost seems inexplicable in retrospect. “It’s just the business of baseball,” Nationals AllStar pitcher Max Scherzer said. Even though Mark Lerner doesn’t profess to be among the 14,460 at the final game in 1971 at RFK Stadium, he went to plenty of other games as a kid and as an adult dreamt of bringing baseball back. “I sat in the upper deck and tried to get foul balls because nobody was sitting up there,” Lerner said. “I really believed that there would be another team within 10 years, and it just never happened. We tried a number of times.” The Expos’ woes in Montreal made it happen in 2005, and the Lerners bought the renamed Nationals from MLB in 2006. After three seasons at antiquated RFK that was home to the NFL’s Redskins, the final step was the opening of Nationals Park in 2008. It gave the team a modern home and revitalized an area in southeast Washington that was on the way up but needed a boost. “Nationals Park has had a catalytic effect on the capital waterfront,” said John Falcicchio, chief of staff for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser. “It creates a vibrancy to a neighborhood that is thriving.” The mayor’s office hopes the All-Star Game showcases just how much Washington has changed over the past 50 years. It’s certainly a much different sports town with the Wizards of the NBA and the now-champion Capitals of the NHL playing downtown and the Redskins in suburban Maryland. After four playoff appearances in the past six seasons, Lerner sees Nationals hats all over town and is proud of the progress made cultivating fans in and around D.C. Phillies and Mets fans are still around, but they aren’t quite the invading forces they used to be. “Those 8- and 9-year-olds that we were courting when we got the team are now driving and some of them have families, and that’s how we build a long-term fan base,” Lerner said. “If you sat in the audience in the 2008 season versus now, it’s totally different, and I think we’ve built that loyalty and people rediscovered the love of the game and built the love of the game.” After an injury sidelined reliever Sean Doolittle, the Nationals have two All-Stars: Scherzer, who See BASEBALL | 2B Photos by Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Ohio cornerback Jalen Fox (21) sacks Kent State quarterback Dustin Crum as teammates Kent Berger (97) and Will Evans (51) follow on the play during the third quarter of a Mid-American Conference football game at Peden Stadium on Oct. 21, 2017, in Athens, Ohio. Bobcats, Herd each face a dirty dozen By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com Looking for a repeat effort … and maybe even more. Both football programs at Marshall University and Ohio University enjoyed some stellar moments over the course of the 2017 campaign, as each squad produced winning seasons and bowl victories. The goal will be the same for each team in the Green and White this fall — and there will be quite a bit of familiarity with each school’s opponents. This year, both the Bobcats (9-4, 5-3 MAC East) and the Thundering Herd (8-5, 4-4 CUSA East) have a dozen games apiece on the slate — with each program playing an even amount of home and road games. Ten of Marshall’s dozen contests are repeat matchups from a year ago, with the exception of games against Eastern Kentucky and at South Carolina. The Herd went 5-5 last fall against this season’s repeat opponents. Ohio, on the other hand, will face six repeat opponents and have another half-dozen newcomers on the 2018 schedule. Trips to Virginia, Cincinnati, Northern Illinois and Western Michigan are all part of the new slate, as are home contests with Howard and Ball State. As the Thundering same eight league opponents that it did last year, which led to a 4-4 overall mark in those contests. The Thundering Herd opens the 2018 season at Miami of Ohio, a team that MU defeated during last year’s season opener at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The RedHawks went 5-7 last fall. From there, Marshall takes on both schedule newcomers over the following two weeks. Eastern Kentucky — which went 4-7 in 2017 — serves as the home opener on Sept. 8, then the Green and White travel to Columbia to face the South Carolina Gamecocks (9-4) in a Week 3 bout.

He would welcome the honor of taking the ball in his home stadium in a town that delivered exactly what he hoped for when signing in Washington. “This is a good baseball town — a good sports town in general,’ Scherzer said. “It lived up to expectations. We’ve had great support throughout the season and especially in the postseason. That’s what I expected, and that’s what the fans have done.” MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD Date 9-1 9-8 9-15 9-22 9-29 10-5 10-13 10-20 11-3 11-10 11-17 11-24 Opponent at Miami of Ohio vs Eastern Kentucky at South Carolina vs N.C.

If anything, Coleman figures there will be fewer reviews of their rulings. “Most of the calls that seemed to create the most controversy, we ruled them correctly and then they were overturned on replay,” Coleman said Friday as officials gathered for their annual preseason meeting in the Dallas area. “From our standpoint, we’re just going to continue to officiate the plays like we have.” League owners unanimously approved the changes in April — more than three years after Dez Bryant’s infamous catch that wasn’t in Dallas’ playoff loss at Green Bay, and just a few months since Pittsburgh’s Jesse James had a late go-ahead touchdown taken away in a loss to New England that damaged the Steelers’ hopes for the AFC’s top seed. Essentially, the new rule eliminates the ground as a factor on catches while establishing three main criteria: —having control of the ball; —getting two feet down or another body part; —making a football move, such as taking a third step or extending the ball. On the plays involving Bryant and James, the ball moved slightly after hitting the ground as they extended it forward, even though they never lost control of it. Both were ruled catches and overturned on review. “I don’t think it was one thing,” senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron said. “I think we got to a point where fans, the office, coaches, players, wanted to see more exciting plays. How do we make this particular play a catch? How do we take the Dez Bryant play and make it a catch?” Riveron said the competition committee consulted with coaches, former players, game officials and supervisors, among others, to reach the rule change that was approved. The committee cited overturned receptions by James and fellow tight end Zach Miller of Chicago last season among the dozens of plays they reviewed “dozens of times,” according to committee chairman Rick McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons. Ron Torbert, going into his fifth season as a referee and ninth overall as a game official, doesn’t think the new rule is just about simplicity. “We had a good idea of what it was and how to officiate it,” Torbert said. “We certainly understand that the way it was written, plays that people wanted to be a catch weren’t a catch under the older rule. We understand that.” And while game officials are hesitant to share opinions on anything related to their role, they can see where fans sit with the catch rule. “I think fans will like it more because we’ve got some of the greatest athletes in the world who can do things that no one else can do,” Torbert said. “To be able to see them rewarded with a catch when under the old rule, it may not have been a catch, I think from that standpoint the fans will enjoy the game more.” Coleman, getting ready for his 30th NFL season, was in his third year as a referee when he called the reversal in the “tuck rule” game during the playoffs following the 2001 season. He changed what had been ruled a fumble by New England quarterback Tom Brady to an incompletion, leading to a winning field goal that sent the Patriots on their way to the first of five Super Bowl titles. While he didn’t make the call on the Bryant catch that was overturned (recently retired Gene Steratore did), Coleman saw similarities in how reactions to the two calls lingered for years. And he certainly heard from fans on the catch rule in general . “People just didn’t understand that you had to hold on to the ball going to the ground,” Coleman said. “When you catch the ball and you reach out, everybody thought that should be a catch. The way the rule was written, it wasn’t.” And now the way the rule is written, it is. Univ. of Louisville removing Papa John’s from stadium name LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The University of Louisville is removing Papa John’s from its football stadium’s name after a report the pizza chain’s founder used a racial slur. The company’s logo has been on Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium since it was built 20 years ago. John Schnatter, who also resigned from the university’s board of trustees, apologized this week for using a racial slur during a company conference call in May. University of Louisville President Neeli Bendapudi said the “community has been fractured” by Schnatter’s comments. The school is also removing Schnatter’s name from its Center for Free Enterprise at the business school. “These comments were hurtful and unacceptable, and they do not reflect the values of our university,” Bendapudi wrote in an open letter to the university community. She said the new name would be Cardinal Stadium. Schnatter said Friday he is “distraught” over the comment he made. “Anything I say or do that hurts the people I care about … is upsetting, it’s not right,” Schnatter said in an interview with WHAS-AM, a Louisville station. The interview was recorded before the name change announcement. “What I wanted to make sure is we got the apology out,” he said. “We don’t condone racism in any way. Regardless of the context, you just can’t use that vocabulary.” Bendapui said at a news conference Friday that “there’s too much hurt around” the Papa John’s name right now. She spoke with Schnatter and said he supported the removal of the names. Some Louisville football players called for the stadium name change this week. Wide receiver Seth Dawkins tweeted on Thursday that “We need to change the name of the stadium ASAP, I’m not here for it.” Ricky L. Jones, a University of Louisville professor who speaks and writes about race relations, applauded Schnatter for agreeing to the name change. “It seems that he understood it was needed,” Jones said in an email. “Hopefully, this marks the beginning of a positive evolution for him — not as a businessman, but as a human being.” Bendapudi said the name changes were effective immediately but gave no timetable on the removal of the signs from the stadium. Dutch soccer great Van Basten rejects Putin meeting concerns Frank Augstein | AP Croatia’s Luka Modric, left, Sime Vrsaljko and Ivan Rakitic, right, celebrate after Croatia’s Mario Mandzukic scored his side’s second goal during the semifinal between Croatia and England on Wednesay in Moscow. Croatia, a country of 4.5 million people which gained independence from the former Yugoslavia only 27 years ago, enters the final after playing three straight extra-time matches, including two nerve-racking penalty shootouts. Mbappe, France to face Modric, Croatia for World Cup title MOSCOW (AP) — Kylian Mbappe has electrified the World Cup with his speed and youthful exuberance. Luka Modric has coolly controlled matches in Russia with his graceful play in the middle. Whether France wins its second title in 20 years or Croatia raises the trophy for the first time Sunday at the Luzhniki Stadium in front of Russian President Vladimir Putin and nearly a billion television viewers could turn on the play of the two stars. The 19-year-old Mbappe has been the biggest sensation at the tournament in Russia, scoring three goals — including two against Argentina in the round of 16 — and creating havoc for opposing defenses with his pace and his agility. “It’s going to be the biggest match of my life, for sure,” the Paris SaintGermain forward said Friday. Although Mbappe has impressed for France at the month-long tournament, Modric has been the rock and the spark for Croatia. When the Real Madrid midfielder has the ball at feet, good things seem to happen for Croatia. “Even when you think they’re going to lose, in extra prize money on the line at the Luzhniki Stadium.

It’s a team that plays with a lot of intensity.” MOSCOW (AP) — Dutch soccer great Marco van Basten dismissed criticism of his meeting last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he only discussed the sport and did not raise the downing of a plane which killed 196 people from the Netherlands. Pressure has built on Russia from the Netherlands since its government announced in May that it was holding Moscow legally responsible for its role in the July 2014 missile strike that brought down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine, claiming 298 lives. Van Basten, who is FIFA’s chief officer for technical development, said he was only at the Kremlin last Friday to discuss matters related to the World Cup with a delegation from soccer’s governing body. Billed by the Kremlin as a “meeting with football legends,” the group posed for pictures with Putin and held a roundtable discussion that celebrated Russia’s hosting of the World Cup. “We were talking only about football and about the tournament,” Van Basten told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I am aware of the fact that a lot of families in Holland, they have a problem with what happened with the airplane. But this is another matter. I was just asked to come there and have a chat about football.” Jerry Skinner, a lawyer representing victims’ families, was quoted as saying earlier this week that Van Basten should have told Putin to take responsibility for the deaths. The Kremlin party also included two former England players, Rio Ferdinand and Alex Scott, who are working at the World Cup as commentators for the BBC. Britain has blamed Russia for the poisonings in England this year using Novichok, a military-grade nerve agent. Moscow has denied any involvement. “This was a FIFA arranged visit,” the BBC said in a statement to the AP. “All our freelance pundits are able to carry out other duties outside of their BBC commitments.” Scott said she was only “discussing the power of world football.” At the same meeting, FIFA President Gianni Infantino lavished praise on Russia despite concerns about Putin’s leadership, including the invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea. “Russia is a big country, is an important country in the world,” Infantino told Putin. “We all fell in love with Russia.” An international team of investigators said detailed analysis of video images established that the Buk missile that brought down the Malaysia Airlines passenger jet was from the Russian military’s 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade based in the Russian city of Kursk. Putin denies involvement in the July 17, 2014, surface-to-air missile strike on the Boeing 777, which was headed from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. �SPORTS 4B Sunday, July 15, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel Corporations market at World Cup despite absence of US MOSCOW (AP) — Budweiser has a boat on the Moscow River and a disco. Coke set up an interactive sculpture-video installation in Gorky Park and entertained 5,000 guests during the monthlong tournament. Visa built a campaign around former Sweden star Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Business went on at the World Cup without the presence of the United States, although the tournament’s visibility decreased across America. “The absence of the U.S. team here doesn’t change what we’re doing,” said Ricardo Fort, The Coca-Cola Co.’s head of global sponsorships. “The real value is based on how broad our programs are implemented. We have over 180 countries doing work.” FIFA said after the group stage that of 2.6 million tickets sold, U.S. residents bought about 97,000 on FIFA’s website and from its ticketing centers, second only to host Russia’s 1.1 million. The U.S. was second to host Brazil in 2014, but the American total was around 200,000 that year. “We were all disappointed when the U.S. team didn’t qualify,” said Brian Perkins, vice president of global marketing for Budweiser at Anheuser-Busch InBev. “But two-thirds of the sales of Budweiser globally are sold outside of the U.S., so actually the bigger part of the business is international, and that’s where all the growth is coming from as well. It really didn’t change much at all.” World Cup advertising increased sharply in the U.S. during the past few tournaments. Nike used a 70½-foot advertising board near New York’s Penn Station and its store windows to attract attention. Plans for U.S. marketing changed last October when the U.S. lost at Trinidad and Tobago, ending a string of seven straight World Cup appearances dating to 1990. “Since Team USA will not be competing, we don’t have much going on,” Nike spokesman Ilana Finley said in an email. Past World Cups contributed to soccer’s growth in the U.S., both at Major League Soccer and at the youth level. The four matches involving the American team in 2014 were seen by 10 million to 18 million viewers on ESPN and generated what then-U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati called “water-cooler talk.” That opportunity was lost in this four-year cycle. Fox, which holds U.S. English-language television rights, had been projecting four of 64 matches involving the American team. “We had to pivot quickly,” Fox Sports senior vice president of ad sales Mike Petruzzi said. While viewers declined from the 2014 tournament in Brazil, the level is up from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when the U.S. games are factored out. “You are naturally going to have more people paying attention back home when your country is in the tournament, but there has still been a ton of interest in the World Cup in the United States,” current USSF president Carlos Cordeiro said in an email. “That clearly shows how the game has grown over the years.” Visa is using the World Cup to expand the use of near field communication contactless payment technology and brought Ibrahimovic, now with MLS’s LA Galaxy, to Russia for the tournament’s first week for promotion. “Some of the biggest amount of spending that we’re seeing in Russia is coming from American fans who travel to Russia to see the World Cup in person,” said Chris Curtin, Visa’s chief brand and innovation marketing officer. Visa’s data backed up an impression the percentage of fans from Europe was lower than at past World Cups. Part of the cause may be tension between Russia and western European nations that followed Russia’s invasion of Crimea and military intervention in Ukraine, and accusations by Britain that Russia was behind the poisoning of a former spy living in England. Through the semifinals, $12 million was charged inside the stadiums to Visa cards issued to cardholders in Russia, followed by those issued in the U.S. ($3 million), Mexico ($1.5 million), China ($1.1 million), Argentina ($700,000), Peru ($560,000), England ($550,000), Brazil ($500,000), Colombia ($420,000) and Australia ($400,000). France was 13th at $230,000 heading into Sunday’s final against Croatia. FIFA has seven toplevel partners in Adidas, Coca-Cola, Gazprom, Hyundai, Qatar Airways, Visa and Wanda Group, plus five secondlevel sponsors: AnheuserBusch, Hisense, McDonald’s, Mengniu Dairy and Vivo. Hisense, Mengniu, Vivo and Wanda are all Chinese companies, a sign of that nation’s increasing influence in soccer despite the lack of success of its national team. Among the official FIFA group, Adidas, Anheuser-Busch, Coke and McDonald’s purchased about 20 percent of Fox’s advertising inventory and sponsorships, and Hisense sponsored clock wraps, billboards and graphics, according to Petruzzi. They were joined by tech companies Amazon, Apple and Google. Coke, Sprint and Volkswagen advertised on U.S. Spanish-language coverage on NBC Universal’s Telemundo network. Four years from now, the World Cup will be in Qatar, which like Moscow will also be seven hours ahead of Eastern time. The change will be the timing, Nov. 21-Dec. 18, a tournament shortened from 32 days to 28. “Fourth quarter has got a lot of rating points already with college football, NFL, so it’s going to be very interesting how we approach it,” Petruzzi said. “The holiday stuff will be great, but I also get cautious about fourth quarter because there’s so many rating points out there.” Chapman out of All-Star game Scandal-hit USOC picks golf OH-70063723 CLEVELAND (AP) — Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman won’t pitch in the AllStar Game in order to rest his sore left knee. Chapman earned his 25th save Thursday against the Cleveland Indians in his first appearance since Saturday, when he was removed from a game in Toronto after facing one batter because of discomfort in the knee. Chapman, who has made the All-Star team five times, is 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA in 40 appearances. He has struck out 67 in 39 innings and held opponents to a .129 batting average. The ace left-hander has blown only one save this season and converted 11 of 12 save opportunities in June. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Chapman is available to pitch in the final three games of the series that ends Sunday. executive Sarah Hirshland as CEO DENVER (AP) — Sarah Hirshland’s biggest coup to date as a sports executive was brokering the billiondollar deal that moved the TV home of golf’s U.S. Open from NBC to Fox. Her next mission, as CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee, will be more delicate — repairing a frayed relationship between athletes and a community that has grown wary of the governing body after a slew of sex-abuse cases they feel were not handled appropriately . The USOC announced the U.S. Golf Association’s chief commercial officer as its new CEO on Thursday. Hirshland will replace Scott Blackmun, who resigned earlier this year to deal with health issues that undercut his ability to handle the crisis that engulfed the federation. In some ways, the hire of the 43-yearold mother of three, a graduate of Duke, was no surprise. Given the circumstances, the USOC was expected to hire a woman, and the fact that she used to work alongside Casey Wasserman, who chairs the LA 2028 Olympic effort, earned her high marks from what will be the USOC’s closest working partners over the next decade. “I know firsthand that Sarah is a visionary leader,” Wasserman said. But with much of the USOC’s marketing and business efforts moving into the hands of the LA organizers, chairman Larry Probst said one of Hirshland’s biggest tasks, outside of repairing relationships with athletes, will be shoring up support among lawmakers in Washington. The USOC has come under increased scrutiny of late in the Capitol, with its leaders being grilled in a handful of hearings over what has largely been viewed as their slow response to the mushrooming sexabuse crisis. Though the USOC receives no federal Darren Carroll | USGA via AP The U.S. Olympic Committee has hired Sarah Hirshland as its CEO, placing the executive at the U.S. Golf Association in charge of stabilizing an organization that has been hammered by sex-abuse scandals spanning several Olympic sports. funding, Congress has ultimate authority over the federation via the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act. When asked about her experience in lobbying and public policy, Hirshland laid out no specifics. “I have spent, as you might imagine, time in and around the governance of sport within the context of the role of the USGA,” said the key architect of the deal that more than doubled the USGA’s take for TV rights, up to $1.1 billion over 12 years. “This will be a distinct opportunity for me and one I’m looking forward to.” At the USOC, Hirshland will make $600,000 a year with a chance for a bonus of up to 50 percent. It’s a remarkably low salary for the leader of an organization who has to tend to relationships with 43 domestic Olympic sports organizations, to say nothing of the thousands of athletes, donors, fans and the International Olympic Committee, which has proven a thorn in the side of the USOC for decades. (The Olympic TV deal with NBC, meanwhile, is negotiated by the IOC and locked up through 2032.) But Hirshland’s top task will be restoring credibility to the USOC’s efforts to provide safe atmospheres for its athletes. Sex-abuse scandals in swimming, gymnastics and taekwondo —to name a few — forced the USOC to create more uniform standards to protect athletes across all Olympic sports. Under Blackmun’s tenure, the USOC helped open the U.S. Center for SafeSport, which took over the duty of investigating sex-abuse cases in Olympic sports and meting out the punishment. But the USOC’s offand-on portrayal of itself as a federation that only truly oversees the athletes during the three-week Olympic period every two years rubbed many people wrong, and made it sound as if its leaders weren’t ultimately responsible for the welfare of the athletes. “I … recognize the challenges ahead as we navigate this critical moment in the USOC’s history,” Hirshland said. “We must protect, support and empower athletes, young and old, elite and beginner.” The USOC finds itself a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed by athletes and even former U.S. gymnastics coordinator Martha Karolyi, all of which seek damages because of its role in the scandal. The USOC’s interim CEO, Susanne Lyons, said the federation attempted to identify sex-abuse victims to be part of the search committee, but was prevented from reaching out because of the pending lawsuits. Hirshland is the third woman to hold the title of CEO, following Lyons and Stephanie Streeter, whose brief tenure in 2008-09 was riddled with infighting and confusion and led to her departure. “It’s a powerful moment for the USOC and for me, personally,” Hirshland said. “And while I don’t look at this as being a female CEO, I’m proud to be a woman, and even more proud to be CEO of the USOC. If I can do both things well, that’ll be good for the entire community in which we operate.” �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, July 15, 2018 5B By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green "Y $AVE 'REEN � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� $IFFICULTY ,EVEL By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Hank Ketcham’s � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.

I keep pushing my body as far as I can. At this point I am doing it for the others, doing it for the kids in Houston so they can have a good, safe environment to ride a bike in.” Craddock has taken advantage of the attention his crash received to start a fundraising effort Blood from a cut to his left eyebrow covered his face . He was diagnosed with a fracture of 1-2 centimeters in his scapula. “It’s stable. It’s not dangerous in any way,” said EF Education First-Drapac team physician Kevin Sprouse. “It’s safe for him to be racing. The biggest concern is not necessarily the fracture. … It’s how he can handle the bike.” Craddock is receiving treatment day and night to ensure he can apply enough pressure on the handlebars to control his bike. Sessions with the team’s chiropractor have made him “close to tears.” He has to ask teammates to pass him energy bars since he can’t maneuver his body to grab them from the pockets on the back of his jersey. for the Alkek velodrome in Houston , which is where he started cycling. He is donating $100 to the venue — which was damaged in Hurricane Harvey — for every Tour stage he finishes. He’s asking others to contribute, too. As of Friday, the relief effort had raised $64,000. “It gives me goose bumps just to think if I can make it to Paris what will be possible,” Craddock said of the race’s conclusion on July 29. He grew up 10 minutes away from the velodrome. “There are not that many in the U.S,” he said. “Kids … don’t have to worry about traffic, cars. They are watched the entire time.” Craddock’s crash occurred when he hit a dropped water bottle in the feeding zone and collided with a spectator. But after missing last year’s Tour, Craddock has no plans to give up — even with the bonejarring cobblestoned route of Stage 9 to Roubaix approaching. He was last of 170 riders (more than 1 hour behind race leader Greg Van Avermaet) following Friday’s stage of 231 kilometers (143.5-miles) — the longest of this year’s Tour. “I had such a rough year last year I wanted to be at this race so bad,” he said. “My focus this entire season, while trying to get the most out of the other races, was also to be at the Tour de France. To crash on Stage 1 and have this happen to me is a big blow but you know if I can still ride, why not try?” Craddock’s perseverance has attracted plenty of attention, especially from Lance Armstrong, a fellow Texan and sometimes training partner. “It is great he has given me so much encouragement. Hearing from him, hearing from everyone, is just incredible,” Craddock said. “It’s hard to keep up with all the messages, but I am doing my best and reading them all and I love the support I am getting.” His ordeal has made Craddock wonder about the significance of the No. 13 he was assigned to put on his jersey. He attaches the number upside down. “When I got No. 13 I tried to tell myself it was lucky, but when I hit that bottle in the feed zone it was one of the first things that came into my mind,” he said. “But at this point, something really great has come out of it.” Ryan Armour to play in British Open By Doug Ferguson Armour understands the fuss.

OH-70047967 TORONTO (AP) — Paul Tracy wants drivers to get a little nastier. Back when he was racing, Tracy was famously involved in dustups, notably with fellow drivers Alex Tagliani and Sebastien Bourdais, going so far as to criticize them for keeping their helmets on during confrontations. Tracy won 31 times in IndyCar and has no regrets about how he handled himself on the track. In fact, the 49-year-old Canadian believes the series’ current drivers are too “vanilla” and “corporate,” unwilling to stir up the rivalries he says are necessary to market the sport. “I was OK with being the guy that wore the black hat in this series for a long time,” Tracy told The Canadian Press by phone this week. “That’s kind of what the series is lacking, I think, in terms of trying to promote the series. Everyone wants to be the good guy and no wants to be the bad guy.” Tracy, an NBC commentator for this weekend’s Toronto Indy, says a few clashes involving driver Alexander Rossi, including one with Robert Wickens, haven’t been properly tapped for their entertainment value. “(Rossi has) made some aggressive moves, he’s pushed and shoved some guys around,” Tracy said. “But he doesn’t want to wear the black hat. He wants to be a good guy, but on the race track he’s pretty tough.” Wickens was leading after 69 laps during his IndyCar debut at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in March until Rossi’s attempt overtake him sent him spinning. Wickens downplayed it all, saying he should have foreseen the maneuver. A second run-in with Rossi at Road America last month prompted a harsher response, with Wickens calling him “ruthless.” But Wickens maintains that even though they are friends off the track they don’t need to hate each other enough to have a rivalry. “We’ve had on-track incidents. We’ve spoken our minds in the press, but we kind of get on with life and move on,” he said Wednesday. Tracy said he spoke to Wickens last week and suggested that the IndyCar rookie adopt a more vigilante approach to injustices on the track. “I said, ‘Listen, if you’re tired of getting pushed around, you’ve got to push back,’” he said. “Doesn’t matter what sport you’re in whether you’re playing football, basketball or hockey. If a guy is going to shove you around and you let them, they’re always going to shove you around.” Wickens says drivers today are forced to be a “little more vanilla.” He adds that when Tracy was driving, North American racing had higher budgets and he was given more rope to express himself. “If one sponsor doesn’t like what you do and they pull out, you don’t have a ride anymore,” Wickens said.
