Photo from The Daily Sentinel archives This photo, which appeared in the 175th anniversary of Meigs County edition of The Daily Sentinel in 1994, shows the crowd gathered at the Meigs County Courthouse in Pomeroy for the 1871 dedication of the Civil War Soldier Monument located next to the courthouse. The monument still stands on the Mulberry Avenue side of the courthouse as a reminder of the sacrifice of Meigs County residents who fought and died in the Civil War. According to article accompanying the photo in the anniversary edition written by Jim Freeman, in March 1870, the Meigs County Board of Commissioners, upon the petition of county residents, dedicated all of the ground lying west of the courthouse between the courthouse and Mulberry to the “sacred purpose of erecting a monument to the memory of the soldiers of said county who died in the service of their country during the great rebellion.” The monument was completed in October 1871, with the dedication and unveiling taking place on Oct. 17, 1871 with an estimated 2,500 people in attendance.

Holzer’s surgery department is first class. It’s been over five years since I have felt this good.” A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The most common types of hernia are inguinal (affecting the inner groin), incisional (resulting from an incision), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach). Any condition that increases the pressure of the abdominal cavity, such as: obesity, heavy lifting, coughing, Courtesy photo Dr. Andrew Dittenhofer, Holzer General Surgeon, is shown pictured with Bob Davidson, who recently shared his experience as a hernia surgery patient. and/or chronic lung disease, may contribute to the formation or worsening of a hernia. Having a family history of hernias can increase the risk for developing a hernia. Dr. Dittenhofer was able to utilize the da Vinci® surgery robot on Davidson’s repair surgery in May. With the addition of the da Vinci® robot, Holzer’s surgical department continues to provide safe and efficient procedures for the communities we serve. Holzer has built a multi-disciplinary robotic- assisted surgery program with a team of dedicated surgeons, nurses, and surgical technologists. Our da Vinci® surgery service lines include gynecology and general surgery. During a da Vinci® procedure, the surgeon is 100 percent in control of the robotic system. Seated at the surgeon console in the same room with the patient, the surgeon manipulates the EndoWrist® instruments in real time through a small incision. This enables the surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, dexter- ity, and precision. “Dr. Dittenhofer explained the procedure very well,” shared Davidson. “I knew what to expect and was very prepared for surgery as well as recovery. My wife, Sara, and I were impressed with the entire surgical team.” Dr. Dittenhofer is a graduate of the Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine in Pikeville, Kentucky and completed his General Surgery residency at East End Health Alliance and his internship at Bluefield Regional Medical Center in Bluefield, West Virginia. He is currently accepting patients at Holzer – Gallipolis and Holzer – Jackson Clinic locations. Davidson and his wife reside in Gallipolis. They are the proud parents of Caleb, Emily, Daniel, and Elizabeth, and have one granddaughter, Estelle. For more information on the da Vinci® system, or Holzer services, visit www.holzer.org.

SBA ready to help grow strong ecosystem By Rob Scott SBA Great Lakes Regional Administrator As a native Ohioan, I understand the important role that small businesses play in developing strong rural communities within the state, and within the Great Lakes region. As the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Great Lakes regional administrator, I am focused on achieving SBA Administrator Linda McMahon’s goals to increase resources to rural small businesses to create a stronger economic environment for rural America by empowering local entrepreneurs and small businesses to start and grow their businesses. To capitalize on these efforts, I recently visited rural Southeast Ohio, speaking with rural small businesses and participating in roundtables with key stakeholders in economic development, education and innovation. Through these collaborations, I was able to learn about key issues impacting the area, from improving investment opportunities to increasing educational outreach regarding SBA’s counseling and contracting services. I also learned about rural small business successes and the impact that the SBA and its partners have already had on the region. While in Athens, I visited Shagbark Seed & Mill, a small business able to provide an important service to local farmers with help from both the SBA and U.S. Department of Agriculture. By processing the crops produced by family farms in the area and turning them into products such as tortilla chips and grits, Shagbark Seed & Mill is working to create a regional staple food system. This is just one example of SBA’s and USDA’s efforts to improve program effectiveness and collaboration, aligning investments and bringing more public and private capital opportunities to rural America. By building on the priorities of the Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity established by President Trump in April 2017, the federal partnership is working to create a rural America with world-class resources, tools and support to build robust, sustainable communities for generations to come. We understand the importance of partnerships at the local level as well, and during my visit, I was able to connect with Ohio Univer- sity, Hocking College, bankers and small business champions such as Appalachian Center for Economic Networks (ACEnet), Buckeye Hills Regional Council, Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth (APEG), Rural Action and the chamber, in both Athens and Nelsonville. As the economy continues to grow and unemployment is at historic lows, rural small businesses are struggling with funding issues, finding an able workforce and broadband access. We agreed much work needs to be done and look to collaborate on, rather than duplicate, our efforts in supporting workforce development, research and development with innovation and economic support. The President’s National Council for the American Worker created just days following my visit also will help address this skills gap. My last stop was in Lancaster to see the downtown revitalization and meet local entrepreneurs supporting the economy and job growth. Its renaissance could not have happened without them and the collaborative work of the city, its chamber and economic development efforts. I visited small businesses including Art and Clay, a social enterprise supported by Fairfield County and Keller Market House, a micro-business incubation center featuring locally-grown food and products. We ended at Double Edge Brewing Company, the town’s first brewery in 75 years. This type of renewal and investment by all, including the SBA, has transformed the city into a viable destination for those near and far. In all, my visit reinforced that the rural communities in Ohio and in the Great Lakes region have endless opportunities for growth and diversification via small business development, especially if a strong ecosystem is established among partners at the local, state and federal levels. The SBA is a go-to resource at every stage of the businesses lifecycle for aspiring or current entrepreneurs and I encourage you to reach out to our field offices or visit SBA.gov to learn more about what we can do for you.

Thursday, July 26, 2018 3 No break for KitKat in Europe as trademark request rejected By Mark Lewis The Associated Press STAVANGER, Norway — KitKat is not getting its break. The maker of the chocolate bar has for 16 years tried to trademark its four-finger shape in the European Union, arguing it is a distinctive feature that deserves protection. Like Toblerone’s pyramid blocks, which are trademarked. But a European court ruled Wednesday against KitKat and its maker, Nestle, saying that its shape is not recognized throughout all the 28 countries of the EU. The court instead sided with the makers of Kvikk Lunsj, a Norwegian snack that is a long-time favorite of hikers and skiers — and is shaped almost exactly like a KitKat. The decision will allow Mondelez, the maker of Kvikk Lunsj, to market and sell the chocolate bar more widely throughout the bloc. The court is the latest battleground in the feud between the chocolate bars, which began when the company Freia first introduced the Kvikk Lunsj — which literally translates to “Quick Lunch” — to Norwegians in 1937, two years after KitKat hit U.K shelves. Their battle intensified in 2006 when Nestle secured a trademark for KitKat’s shape, only to be challenged by Kvikk Lunsj maker Cadbury, now owned by Mondelez. In 2016, Nestle was stripped of the trademark since the shape of the treat was not considered recognizable throughout the EU. The manufacturer appealed the decision in the bloc’s highest court, which today ruled that though the shape was viewed as distinctively KitKat in many EU countries, consumers in Belgium, Ireland, Greece and Portugal did not recognize it. Norway is not part of the EU, but adopts many of the bloc’s rules. It is not the first time a chocolate maker fails to trademark a shape. Switzerland’s Lindt & Spruengli wanted to protect the form of its chocolate Easter rabbits covered in gold foil, with a red ribbon. But its case was also thrown out, in 2012, for similar reasons. In the United States, Hershey has a trademark registration for the shape of Kisses chocolates, Mondelez has one for Toblerone, General Mills has one for the cone-shaped Bugles. Josh Gerben, a trademark attorney in Washington D.C., noted that companies need to show a shape is distinctive enough to get a trademark approval, and that the shape is not merely functional. “They want to make sure they’re not giving a monopoly to a company for a shape that is needed to make a product,” Gerben says. “For example, a circle for a cracker couldn’t be trademarked.” Meigs County Economic Development Office launches new website POMEROY — The Meigs County Economic Development Office recently launched a powerful new website, which can be seen at http://www. meigscountyohio.com/ .

Candy hearts company plant abruptly closes REVERE, Mass.

For Josh, this is a lifeDavid long dream and I can only imagine Fong he’s in his own little nerd heaven Contributing right about now. columnist I am happy for Josh, because I know this is a lifelong dream of his. He’s been talking about going to this event since I first met him roughly 12 years ago. It’s also got me thinking about things I’ve always wanted to attend, but have never had the chance to do so. It does bear mentioning that the one event I spent most of my life dreaming about attending — an Ohio State national championship football game — I was able to do three years ago. That I was able to watch my nephew Christopher on the field as a walk-on member of the team only made the event that much sweeter. That night can never be replicated. However, that still leaves a lot of things left I’d like to see before my time on Earth comes to an end. Most of them, quite naturally, are sporting events. Here’s a list of events I hope to attend at some point in my life: Wrestlemania If an Ohio State national championship was tops on the list, this would have to be a close second. I was actually a professional wrestling fan before I was a football fan. While there has been an ebb and flow to my fandom — depending on the current quality of the product — I have never totally broken away from watching it. I’m not a huge fan of what Vince McMahon currently is peddling, but I would enjoy being there for the sheer spectacle of it. Right now, attending a Wrestlemania would seem mostly a matter of geography. They’ve been held in the Midwest before — Chicago, Detroit and Indianapolis — and I imagine if they ever return, I’ll make every effort to be there. A Permian High School football game When I was in high school, I read a book that changed my life. That book was Buzz Bissinger’s “Friday Night Lights” (you might have seen the movie or television series, which can’t come within a Hail Mary of touching the book, in my mind), the tale of a Texas high school football team. The book was so compelling and so well-written that I knew, at that moment, I wanted to spend the rest of my life as a sports writer and I wanted to have the opportunity to cover a successful high school football team. Thanks to my job here, I’ve been able to see some tremendous high school football. However, I still feel that I need to one day pay homage to book that helped launch my career by attending a Permian High School football game. The Summer Olympics I’ve always enjoyed the Summer Olympics, but my interest was piqued in the past few years when my daughter took up the sport of pole vaulting. Sophie had never been interested in sports before this, and it was nearly impossible to get her to watch a sporting event with me. Lately, however, we find ourselves sitting in front of the television watching international track and field competitions, waiting for the pole vaulting. The Summer Olympics are coming to Los Angeles in 2028. I’d love nothing more than for Sophie and I to be able to watch the Olympic pole vaulters together. If she could just go ahead and make the Olympic team as a pole vaulter, that would be even better, I suppose. A Bonnie Tyler or Meat Loaf concert I figure I should include at least one non-sporting event (and yes, I realize many of your purists wouldn’t consider Wrestlemania a sporting event). My musical tastes have always been … “eclectic” is a nice way of saying it, I suppose. In general, I don’t attend of lot of concerts, because sitting still and listening to music has never much appealed to my incredibly short attention span. That’s why I’ve always preferred sporting events — lots of moving parts to keep me entertained. Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler, however, probably would be two exceptions to the rule. They are two of my favorite musical performers of all time. Unfortunately, this may be the least likely of all the things on my list to actually happen. It’s not like either one of them are putting on nationwide tours every summer. Still, though, like everything else on this list, I’ll continue to hope and dream. THEIR VIEW What the Pledge means You know the Pledge of Allegiance, probably by heart. You may recite it only occasionally, or get the chance several times a week. Sometimes, I’m guessing, you say it mechanically, and other times filled with deep meaning. I hope it’s more often the latter, because here’s what’s remarkable about the Pledge: in a few short phrases, it lays out the fundamentals of what our country represents and strives to achieve. Let’s start with these words: “and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible.” It’s not just talking about any nation or form of government; it’s talking about a republic — a unified nation, under divine Providence, with three fully equal branches that are strong, independent, and each entrusted with limited and defined powers within their constitutional boundaries. The meaning goes even deeper than that. Really, we’re talking about power being dispersed across a large number of people and institutions. We’re They represent talking about a what some punsystem that was dits have called designed by people a framework of who were so wary decency: a system of concentrated built on individual power that they dignity and respect made it difficult for for each person. any one person or Lee H. institution to wield Hamilton This is a monuit.

In all this, we recognize citizens have equal voting and tolerate our differrights. This, in turn, provides ences.

Everyone has the right to enjoy the promise religion and the press. of America. This brings us to the Put these two parts final words: “with liberty and justice for all.” These of the Pledge together, are crucial to understand. and what it’s telling us is that we live in a system that binds us together by adherence to rules of political engagement, respect for the rule of law, and belief in our democratic institutions. We may disagree about all kinds of issues, but we firmly believe in equal political rights and equal opportunity. “Liberty and justice for all” means giving individuals the space to make choices in their own lives that will enable them to flourish. What the country expects in return is that most individuals will live a life of honor, excellence and responsibility. The system demands hard work on the part of its citizens if it is to succeed. So the next time you stand as the Pledge is recited, think about what you’re saying. It’s deceptively simple. But it packs a powerful message.

Cincinnati’s All-Star third baseman homered for the third straight game, this time in the first inning, Tucker Barnhart added a two-run shot and the Reds powered to a 7-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. “It is nice, man,” said Suarez, who’s homered in three straight games for the first time in his career. “I didn’t expect to hit that one out. One more out, off the plate. My barrel caught the ball and hit it out.” Adam Duvall also homered for the Reds. Sal Romano (6-8) allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings to give the Reds consecutive series wins over St. Louis for the first time since 2011. Romano, who hadn’t pitched in 10 days and Gary Landers | AP hadn’t started in 15, was Cincinnati Reds’ Eugenio Suarez hits a two-run home run off St. surprisingly sharp with Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty during the first just one walk. inning Wednesday in Cincinnati. The Reds won 7-3. “I didn’t feel any different not to pitch for 10 days,” he said. “I just took today. My family was against St. Louis is nice. We always want to beat here. I know I have a little a deep breath and decided to trust my stuff.” St. Louis, especially bit of pop. The ball was Paul DeJong and Yadier Molina hit solo homers for the Cardinals, who went 3-5 on their eightgame road trip. DeJong homered in the third inning and Molina hit his 14th of the season in the seventh inning. Molina flied out with the bases loaded and St. Louis trailing 5-3 in the eighth. The Cardinals were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and had 11 runners left on base — so many that it looked to interim manager Mike Shildt as if it were twice as many. “We left 22 guys on base,” he said. “The good news was we had 22 guys to leave on. The discouraging news was we couldn’t get them in. We didn’t execute in situations where we could’ve done some damage. When you leave guys out there, it usually comes back to bite you.” Suarez tied Monday’s game with a two-out solo homer in the ninth inning and Tuesday’s game with a two-out, two-run, seventh-inning shot. The Cardinals had rookie starters each go See REDS | 7 Ho-hum: Wisconsin a favorite to win Big Ten West again CHICAGO (AP) — Success for the Wisconsin Badgers is about as ho-hum as their leader’s personality. All Wisconsin does is win under no-nonsense, coach-next-door Paul Chryst. The Badgers finished a school-best 13-1 last year, missing the playoffs following a loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten title game but beating Miami in the Orange Bowl. They’re a top contender again to play well into January, let alone the favorites to win the Big Ten West division. No pressure for the Badgers. Really. “But I think the part of being a good leader is not showing any weakness in times of pressure and things like that,” linebacker T.J. Edwards said. “He does such a good job with that, you look to him in times like that, you feel the same way.” There are few things Chryst likes less than sitting at a podium answering questions, but that’s what he had to do Tuesday in Chicago at Big Ten media days. Chryst answers questions in a polite, often monotone voice. He doesn’t command a room like Ohio State’s Urban Meyer or Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh. Away from the media lights, the down-to-earth personality resonates with players like senior safety D’Cota Dixon. He was asked at one point Tuesday about looking ahead at Wisconsin’s schedule. “I don’t really look at it like that. Just line up, play football. Whoever is in front of me, beat them,” Dixon said. A reporter told Dixon that was the kind of simple, one-week-at-a-time response Chryst would deliver. “Does it? Then that’s a good thing,” Dixon said with a smile. Chryst characterized the pressure he feels as “doing your job to the best of your ability. Are you doing all you can to help this team?” Focus on that, on things like making sure players stay in shape or prepare in the classroom, and that in turn gets the team prepared to go for big goals like conference championships. “I think some of the perceived pressure, because you can’t impact them, I can’t worry about what is being said around the outside,” Chryst said. Wisconsin is 34-7 since Chryst returned to Madison to coach his alma mater in 2015, the fifth-best mark in the country behind Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma. The Badgers are 22-4 in conference play, having won back-to-back division titles. “They play great defense consistently and they run the ball very well consistently,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “Third thing I’d say is they don’t beat themselves. … That’s a pretty good formula for success, you get those three down, it make it tough for people to catch you.” The Hawkeyes have a reputation of playing tough football, just like the Badgers. Iowa and Northwestern figure to be Wisconsin’s stiffest competition in the West. “They’ve always had good guys that come through that are big, physical guys and I think especially the line play has been very good,” Iowa defensive lineman Matt Nelson said. “That’s what wins games in the Big Ten.” At the other end of the division is Illinois, which is 5-19 in two years under coach Lovie Smith. They Illini went winless in the Big Ten last season. Smith hopes the turnaround starts in Year 3, with a new training facility also scheduled to open in 2019. “We realize we haven’t won enough football games. But they come, if you continue to do the right things,” Smith said. “We’ve changed the culture of our program. We know the look that we would like to have on the football field.” Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Ohio quarterback Nathan Rourke (12) breaks through the arms of a Miami defender, during the Bobcats’ 45-28 victory on Oct. 31, 2017, at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio. Ohio picked as preseason favorite DETROIT (AP) — Northern Illinois is hoping to re-establish its recent run of MidAmerican Conference dominance with a return to the Motor City in November. For Ohio, the championship history is more in the distant past. The two teams are the divisional favorites in the media’s preseason poll released Tuesday, when the MAC held its media day at Ford Field in Detroit. The stadium is also the site of the Nov. 30 conference championship game. Northern Illinois made the MAC title game for six straight seasons from 2010-15, winning it three times in that span. Ohio hasn’t won a MAC title since 1968. Although the conference is known for midweek offensive fireworks, Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey said defense is the key to getting back to Detroit, where Toledo topped Akron 45-28 for last season’s championship. “I think historically if you look at it, the team that always ends up winning the league is the team that plays the best defense,” Carey said. “They might not have a great defense, but they play the best defense.” NIU will be led by defensive end Sutton Smith, a second-team All-American who led the nation with 29.5 tackles for loss and had 16 sacks. Carey said he’s been pleased with the work ethic of Smith, who said he added 20 pounds of muscle this offseason. “I’m just trying to get bigger, faster, stronger and know the game more than I ever have before,” Smith said. Under coach Frank Solich, Ohio led the MAC with 37.4 points per game last season. Returning at quarterback is Nathan Rourke, a Canadian who rushed for 21 touchdowns last season in his first year as a starter. “I’m just trying to learn the offense a little bit better,” Rourke said. “Last year, I just kind of got my feet wet a little bit, and now I’m just trying to dive in and get to the point where I can teach it to our young guys.” The 73-year-old Solich said he doesn’t dwell much on the program’s 50-year title drought, noting that the Bobcats have reached Detroit four times in his 13 seasons at the helm. See FAVORITE | 7 Kansas ordered to turn over materials TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A grand jury investigating alleged recruiting abuses in college basketball ordered the University of Kansas earlier this year to turn over communications involving its men’s team coaches and at least one prospective recruit, newly released records show. The federal grand jury in New York also demanded copies of any agreements with apparel manufacturer Adidas and communications between the basketball coaches and company representatives. “These documents do not suggest any wrongdoing by the university,” spokesman Andy Hyland said in an email Wednesday to The Associated Press, referring to the two subpoenas, which were sent in January and March. “We are coop- erating fully with investigators in this matter.” The university released edited copies of the subpoenas Tuesday. Each demands documents and communications regarding “the recruitment and enrollment” of a person whose name is blacked out, so that it is not clear whether both subpoenas refer to a single person or different people, or whether they involved someone who ultimately enrolled at Kansas. The subpoenas were part of a multi-year investigation into the alleged payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks designed to influence recruits in choosing a school, agent or apparel company. Multiple schools are enmeshed in the investigation, including Kansas, Louisville, North Carolina State and Maryland, which earlier this month released copies of subpoenas it received. The fallout has included the ouster of Louisville’s Hall of Fame head coach Rick Pitino, who was not charged criminally. “Because this is an active investigation, it is not appropriate for us to comment further at this time,” Hyland said in his email. The first subpoena to Kansas was issued Jan. 8 and demanded the production of records by Jan. 22. It sought documents, including emails and texts, from Jan. 1, 2016, going forward. It included documents and communications between men’s basketball coaching staff or any other See KANSAS | 7 �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Thursday, July 26, 2018 7 Darlington puts pedal to metal to finish work DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — It’s the final stage for Darlington Raceway’s improvement project. Workers toss plastic seats to each other to attach to framework laid into the redone Tyler Tower Grandstand. Solar-power lights line the backstretch once night falls to keep the 16-hour work days going. And cranes haul equipment skyward to finish the track’s $7 million renovation in time for an August re-opening and NASCAR’s Southern 500 on Sept. 2. “I don’t think there’s any cushion for lost time, now,” Darlington president Kerry Tharp said Tuesday. “Every day is valuable.” Darlington vice president of track operations Dennis Adcock said the project that began in February about three-quarters finished. The goal, track spokesman Dennis Worden said, is to have things about 95 percent done by Aug. 14 when South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster and reigning Xfinity Series champion Elliott Sadler will be among those on hand to open the redone facility. AP SPORTS BRIEFS BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have signed rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, the No. 4 overall pick in this year’s draft. The speedy Ward, who is expected to start this season, finalized his four-year, $29 million deal on Wednesday as Cleveland’s players reported to training camp under coach Hue Jackson. Ward was the final player from the Browns’ 2018 rookie class to sign his first pro contract. On Tuesday night, quarterback Baker Mayfield — the top overall pick — signed his four-year, $32 million contract. That package includes a team option in the fifth season. Ward’s deal includes a $19 million signing bonus. Ward, who grew up in the Cleveland area, is the fourth Ohio State cornerback selected in the first round in the last three years. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder played in 38 games for the Buckeyes, making two interceptions as a junior last season. Browns unsure of Gordon return, discuss signing Bryant Mariners acknowledge harassment allegations SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners say they have “made amends” with former female employees who made allegations of harassment against current team president and CEO Kevin Mather. The club issued statements from majority owner John Stanton and Mather on Wednesday. Stanton says more than 10 years ago two female employees complained of inappropriate language and treatment in the workplace by Mather. Stanton said an outside expert conducted an investigation and “we imposed appropriate discipline, management and sensitivity training, and other corrective actions.” Mather says he takes responsibility for his actions and “I was grateful for the opportunity to change my behavior and the management training I received.” The statements were in response to a story published by The Seattle Times detailing some of the allegations against Mather and two other former executives. The newspaper reported the club had made settlement payments of about $500,000 to the two women. Serena Williams hits out again at testing ‘discrimination’ NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams has complained on social media that it’s “test Serena” time again as she once more hit out at the frequency with which she is selected for anti-doping tests. The 23-time Grand Slam champion took to Twitter on Tuesday night after she received another visit from a tester. Williams tweeted: “And it’s that time of the day to get ‘randomly’ drug tested and only test Serena. Out of all the players it’s been proven I’m the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so. At least I’ll be keeping the sport clean.” In a second message, the 36-year-old American added: “But I’m ready to do whatever it takes to have a clean sport so bring it on. I’m excited.” Williams has complained before at being drug-tested more than other American tennis players this year. “Just test everyone equally,” Williams said on the eve of this year’s Wimbledon, where she lost to Angelique Kerber in the final. A report by Deadspin said Williams had been checked five times in 2018 by June, more than other U.S. women and men in the sport. Speedway Corp. tracks in Daytona, Kansas and Richmond to improve the sightlines for patrons. Where fans often have had to look around the person in front of them in the flatter configuration, Worden explained, the new layout gives patrons a largely unencumbered view of the action to all corners of the 1.365-mile long, egg-shaped layout. New, aluminum benches have been laid in on the Wallace and Colvin grandstands as well. Bathrooms and concession areas are being redone and Favorite Browns sign rookie CB Denzel Ward on eve of camp opening BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As they await clarity on Josh Gordon’s confusing situation, Browns general manager John Dorsey says the club has discussed signing former Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant. Gordon is missing the start of training camp as part of his treatment to battle drug and alcohol addictions. Dorsey does not know when Gordon will return to the Browns, and Wednesday the team changed the roster designation for him from the non-football illness list to “did not report.” Dorsey and coach Hue Jackson continue to support to Gordon, who has been suspended for 43 of Cleveland’s last 48 games. With Gordon’s status unclear, Dorsey said the team is considering Bryant, a three-time Pro Bowler released by the Cowboys in April. The 29-year-old Bryant led the NFL with 16 touchdowns in 2014. Meanwhile, Browns wide receiver Ricardo Louis, who could have benefited from Gordon’s absence, will miss the entire season following neck surgery. Right now, though, there’s plenty of work left to do . Piles of material fill parking lots where concessions and race vehicles will be stationed in five weeks’ time. Drills whirr and backup warning tones blare throughout the track “Too Tough To Tame.” The control tower atop the Tyler stands where broadcasters, NASCAR officials and team spotters stay during the race has been rebuilt. Workers have altered the slope of the stands and added new, wider individual seats (with cup holders) culled from International Darlington will add designated smoking areas in the concourse as the last track on NASCAR’s top series to ban smoking in its grandstands. Blank areas where seats have been pulled out closest to the track will be replaced by what track officials call a “Wall of Honor” — banners of its 49 winners spaced in the bottom of its front- and backstretch grandstands. In all, the project will shrink Darlington’s capacity by about 8,000 to 10,000 seats, Tharp said, making Darlington a more manageable facility.

Steinbrecher wasn’t going down that road, although he was sympathetic to the AAC’s attitude. “I get what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to fight back on this idea that, just because we have this governmental designation, doesn’t mean that we’re not a quality team,” Steinbrecher said. “Look at what Central Florida did last year. They had a great year. Good for them. Bang the drum on that. What we did with Western Michigan or Northern Illinois years before — fact of the matter is, the top teams in our league or other leagues, can play with anybody in the country.” Reds first time in their past six games. “It was a better day offensively,” interim manager Jim Riggleman said. “There were a lot of good at-bats.” John Gant gave up Barnhart’s two-run drive into the bullpen down the right-field line in the sixth to make it 5-2.

Brown noted at the team’s annual preseason luncheon Tuesday that the NFL and the players’ union are trying to develop an anthem policy that will hopefully please not only owners and players, but fans and the president, too. He said the president’s tweets have worked against finding a resolution to the issue. “I think that worked against us,” Brown said. “I think it stirred the pot, it got people looking at it unfavorably, and he has worked that issue for, I suppose, political reasons. It is what it is. It’s beyond my pay grade.” Trump has attacked the NFL and players who protested social injustice by kneeling during the “Star Spangled Banner.” The league adopted a policy in May that would fine clubs if their players protest on the field, but gave them the option to stay in the locker room during the anthem.

Trump tweeted again that players should be suspended for kneeling, and he challenged Commissioner Roger Goodell to make a stand. Brown said he’s seen Trump only once in person. They were in the same courtroom in the 1980s when Trump — then owner of the USFL’s New Jersey Generals — sued the NFL. “Unlike some of the (NFL) owners you read about in the newspaper, I have never met Donald Trump,” Brown said. Brown said he considered implementing an anthem policy for the Bengals before the league and the union decided to try for a joint resolution last week. “Yes, I have thoughts on it,” Brown said. “Yes, we had ways of handling it. I’m not so sure that wasn’t pretty good, at least compared to others. But that’s as much as I’m going to say about this, and let’s get on to something else.” Brown’s team also is involved in a grievance filed on behalf of free agent safety Eric Reid, who met with the Bengals but wasn’t offered a contract. Brown reportedly asked Reid during their visit whether he would continue to kneel during the anthem. The grievance claims that Reid wasn’t signed by any team because of his anthem protests. Brown said he was scheduled to meet with the team’s lawyers on Wednesday to discuss the case. He was surprised it quickly became an issue. “It was a quick-forming thunderhead,” Brown said. “I didn’t expect it.” Brown is disappointed that the debate over anthem protests has lingered into another season. “It should never have developed into the issue it has,” he said. “Yes, it bothers me that we sit here today talking about the anthem issue.” The Bengals open camp this week coming off a second straight losing season. They haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the sixth-longest streak of postseason futility in NFL history. Brown chose to bring back coach Marvin Lewis for a 16th season even though he has an NFL-record 0-7 in the playoffs. Cavs sign Kevin Love to 4-year, $120M extension INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Kevin Love signed his new contract and proudly put on a hard hat. The Cleveland Cavaliers will rebuild around him. The All-Star forward made a long-term commitment to the franchise on Tuesday by signing a fouryear, $120 million extension with the Cavaliers, who believe Love can help them stay competitive following LeBron James’ departure. The 29-year-old Love, who was nearly traded twice by Cleveland, signed the extension in front of dozens of construction workers inside Quicken Loans Arena, the team’s downtown home, which is undergoing a $140 million renovation not unlike the makeover taking place with the four-time defending Eastern Conference champions. The symbolic moment wasn’t lost on Love, who came to Cleveland four years ago to join James and Kyrie Irving and form the Cavs’ “Big 3.” It’s now his team. “I look back, everything happens for a reason,” Love said. “My best friend from back home said, ‘It always works out.’ This is where I wanted to be. I’ve said that all along. There were some tough times where potentially I would have been traded and my name came up in rumors every few months. But hopefully that Ron Schwane | AP file Cleveland Cavaliers’ All-Star forward Kevin Love has signed a new four-year, $120 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are beginning anew after LeBron James’ departure. Love signed the extension Tuesday. ends now.” Love didn’t know when he arrived at the arena that he would be meeting with carpenters, electricians, plumbers and team employees to celebrate his signing. General manager Koby Altman wanted to surprise him. Moments after signing, Love took a selfie with the workers and posted it on Instagram . “It wasn’t even my idea, but I thought it was great,” Love said. “I had all the people behind me. It’s almost like, to me it’s not a rebuild, because we have talent, we have championship-caliber guys, and we have young and fresh guys that are going to be willing to learn and come along in this league. “I think guys putting on their hard hats and coming to work every day — that has to be the identity to our team, and I think we have guys that are cut from that cloth and are going to be willing to go out there and prove themselves.” Love will make $24.1 million next season before the extension begins, making his contract worth $145 million over five years. Love waived his option for 201920 and there are no other options or trade clauses within the new deal. He will be paid $28.9 million in 2019-20, $31.3 million in 2020-21 and 2021-22, and $28.8 million in 2022-23. The deal gives Love obvious financial security, and it locks up an elite player for the Cavaliers, who want to avoid stumbling the way they did when James left the first time in free agency in 2010. As the NBA waited for James to make his move earlier this month, Love was with friends on Long Island when he got word that his teammate was bound for LA. “I was kind of just sitting there in a crowd of people and I go, ‘Huh, OK, well, let me go call Koby,’” Love said. “Koby actually ended up calling me and made a couple calls and we need to figure some things out, but here we go, let’s build this thing.” Love, who will turn 30 in September, just completed his fourth season with Cleveland, which was swept by Golden State in the Finals. And although James is elsewhere, Love believes that with him and young players like rookie guard Collin Sexton, forwards Cedi Osman and Larry Nance and others, Cleveland can remain more than competitive. “You lose the best player in the world, you have to form a new identity,” he said. “But I think in some cases what we lose in identity we will make up but we also have in culture. We’ve always had a culture here that has been very hard working. … I think we’re going to see a lot of guys really having fun and being themselves and playing really hard-nosed basketball.” Rookie QB Mayfield signs contract, avoids holdout CLEVELAND (AP) — Baker Mayfield’s first win was beating the clock. The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft signed his rookie contract on Tuesday with the Cleveland Browns, who believe the quarterback from Oklahoma can lead them back to respectability and more. Mayfield finalized his four-year, $32 million deal a day before Cleveland’s players are scheduled to report to training camp and avoided being a holdout. Mayfield’s contract includes a $22 million signing bonus. Rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, selected with the No. 4 overall pick, remains unsigned. But the Browns are hopeful they can also get the former Ohio State star under contract before their first practice on Thursday. One of college football’s most popular and polarizing players, Mayfield is not expected to start in his first season for Cleveland. The Browns acquired former Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor during an offseason trade and coach Hue Jackson has made it clear that the veteran will play until Mayfield is ready. That doesn’t mean Mayfield won’t try to beat out Tony Dejak | AP Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has signed his rookie contract. The Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma signed Tuesday, a day before Cleveland’s players are due to report to training camp. Mayfield is not expected to start in his first season as the Browns intend to play Tyrod Taylor, who led Buffalo to the playoffs last season. Taylor. “I’m always competitive,” he said during rookie camp. “It wouldn’t matter what (Jackson) was saying in regards to the competition. I’m still going to compete and try and win that job.” Mayfield, who was a twotime walk-on in college, won the Heisman Trophy last season after he passed for 4,627 yards and 43 touchdowns. Despite some questions about his charac- ter after an off-field incident and some well-publicized antics during games, the Browns chose him over several other top-tier college QBs in April’s draft. Mayfield impressed coaches and teammates with his attitude and work ethic during spring workouts, but he still has a ways to go before he can unseat Taylor, who ended the Bills’ long playoff drought last season. Cleveland has spent nearly the past two decades searching for its franchise quarterback and hope Mayfield can finally end its quest. The Browns are coming off a 0-16 season, but there is renewed optimism following an offseason roster overhaul that included the acquisition of Taylor, wide receiver Jarvis Landry and linebacker Mychal Kendricks. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
