Transportation Supervisor Dean Harris spoke with the board about a proposed bill in the Ohio House, as well as the status of the buses for the upcoming school year. House Bill 680, as explained by Harris, would require shoulder belts to be installed in all school buses by July of 2019. Harris said that the price quote he received for the parts and installation was around $21,000 per bus, with the district having 33 buses. Additionally, the work would take approximately 36 hours per bus. Asked by the board about the safety of buses in Ohio, Harris stated that there had been one fatality on a school bus in the state since 1966, with that case involving a driver who had a seizure leading to the crash. Another question discussed was the responsibility for making sure the children were buckled in with the belts. Harris explained that for the driver to go back and help a child buckle the belt, the bus would have to be turned off (a requirement if the driver leaves the seat). Additionally, it would not be possible for the driver to see if a child would unbuckle the seat belt while the bus was traveling down the road. While safety remains the number one priority in school transportation, Harris stated that the bill as proposed is not a good approach at this time, and encouraged the board and other to reach out to their representatives on the matter. He explained that bus standards in Ohio regarding construction of the bus itself are some of the most stringent in the nation. One such safety feature is that the engine, in a head-on collision, would be driven at an angle downward, rather than straight back into See UPDATES | 3A Truck and Tractor pull set for tonight Staff Report File photo ROCKSPRINGS — While the fair may be a few weeks away, you don’t have to wait that long for a truck and tractor pull.

Ted Yoho, R-Fla., said he’s not decided who to support for speaker, but called the Ohio State accusation “a non-issue.” “I mean, if these things were so egregious, how come we’ve not heard about it before?” Many other GOP lawmakers frequently bristle at Jordan’s caucus, which they consider too inflexible and dogmatic. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., a committee chairman and former head of House GOP election efforts, said he is backing McCarthy. He said leadership candidates must “do what needs to be done to make sure Republicans maintain a majority” by helping colleagues, “whether you agree with them or not.” According to Ohio Northern University political science professor Robert Alexander, Republicans in Congress may need some convincing to appoint Jordan to the position. Jordan has been a controversial figure in the House of Representatives due to his unwillingness to compromise on what many members of Congress in both parties consider extreme viewpoints. “I think Jordan faces some pretty significant obstacles. One of them is popularity within the Republican party in Congress,” Alexander said. Jordan’s tough talk, which creates fans among his electorate, doesn’t translate well to popularity on the Hill nor does it create legislative action. As Alexander explained, compromise is needed to push forward policy recommendations. Jordan’s letter asks Republicans to “follow through,” “stop caving,” “[do] what we said we would do” and “hold firm.” In the political world, sticking to such language doesn’t write bills, Alexander said. “The Freedom Caucus doesn’t have as much appeal to moderate Republicans in Congress. He hasn’t always played ball with the leadership, and they may see that as not helpful to the party’s larger standing,” Alexander said. “When you talk tough, it’s hard to pull back from that. Tough talk doesn’t invite unity. It doesn’t invite compromise, and Jordan hasn’t made his way as being unprincipled.” Another large aspect of the speaker position — fundraising — may also be more difficult for Jordan than other speaker hopefuls, like McCarthy, who has been making campaign rounds for Republicans across the country since Ryan announced his retirement. Ryan is set to retire from Congress when it adjourns in January. An initial round of leadership elections for the new speaker will be held in November, ahead of a floor vote next year. The question though of who will hold the gavel may be for naught if Republicans lose their majority control in the midterm. Democrats need to gain 23 seats in this November’s elections, an outcome that would give their party control of the speaker’s office. From page 1A the passenger area of the bus.

But what if you don’t have any money? What then? Some, absent cash or coin, might assume that they are therefore under no obligation to be generous. Indeed, Search a pleading of poverty might be accepted by some as a valid reason the to be somewhat tight with the little Scriptures that one has. Jonathan Let’s leave aside, for the moment, McAnulty the fact that most Americans are a lot wealthier than we tend to think we are. We are so busy comparing ourselves to those who have more that we forget about all that we do have. And we will not mention, except in passing, the giving of the poor Biblical widow who, having only two mites, worth about half a penny, if that, gave her coins to the glory of God (cf. Mark 12:4143). But let us assume that we are indeed without any money. In Acts, the third chapter, we find Peter and John on their way to the Temple to study and to worship. As they approach he temple, there is, sitting outside, a poor beggar asking for alms. This would have been a perfect opportunity for Peter and John to give the man money, showing the love of Christ. But, there was a problem. They didn’t have any money. We might understand their own poverty if we give it a little thought. For over three years, they had been traveling with Christ, having quit their jobs. They had themselves been living off the generosity of others all that time, as disciples of Christ and as preachers. As Peter had once noted, they had left everything to be with Jesus. (cf. Matthew 19:27) While they had not starved, it is easy to see why they might not have had any coins of their own. But as we read the account, what do we see? Peter directs the man to look at them, giving them his attention. “So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:5-6; NKJV) See WITHOUT | 6A The trip: The dance music venues.

With no other option, we stayed the church, my family was alive in Hardees for quite a while. I went and well. I was so full of gratitude, and to the restroom, checked myself for gratitude kills disappointment. The next time you have an opportunity to be disappointed, choose gratitude instead. The next time you’re tempted to be disappointed, make an alphabetical list of things you’re grateful for. That’s what I just did. For the letter “B,” I wrote “Bible.” For the letter “M,” I wrote “music.” It made me think. Especially for the letters “X” and “Z” if you know what I mean! You know, the Bible says, “O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together” (Ps. 34:3 KJV). The Bible says to magnify God, but how often do we magnify our disappointments instead? As I sat in Hardees, I decided to magnify my God. I didn’t magnify my unmet expectation. Disappointment had no room in my head. There was no capacity. I was way too full of gratitude. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5 KJV). So when you’re tempted to dwell on disappointment, find something to be thankful for. One way we can magnify the LORD is through gratitude. When you fill your thoughts with gratitude, disappointment can’t fit. Gratitude kills disappointment. Isaiah Pauley is a 2018 graduate of Wahama High School.

The Feeding of the 5,000 is only one of two narratives told in the Bible in every one of the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, so it must be very important for us to hear. (The other one is the Resurrection just so you know.) Jesus and His disciples were all tired from travelGod’s Kids ing, teaching, and healing Korner the people, so they decided Pastor Ann to get into a boat and sail Moody off to be alone, rest, and talk. But the crowds who were following Jesus saw them leave and went to where they landed in the boat. The Bible tells us that Jesus had compassion for the people even though He was tired and needed to rest, so He taught them about the kingdom. Towards the end of the day, the disciples told Jesus that he had better send them away because everyone was getting hungry, and the disciples nor Jesus had food or enough money to buy food for all of them. Jesus asked His disciples to see just how much food was available. Soon they had found only five loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus asked the crowd to sit down. Then He took the bread and the fish, looked up to heaven, gave thanks, and broke the bread and divided the fish. Guess what happened. There was enough bread and fish to not only feed all the people until they were full, but there were even twelve baskets of food left over! Nice story isn’t it? But you know what? Jesus’ stories are more than just stories in the Bible. Jesus always wanted to teach us about how we could be better Christians, and this one is no exception. The Bible says Jesus had compassion for these people. Jesus knew they needed His help, so we should also try to help people who need us too. Secondly, we always need to have faith in Christ that He will provide what we need, when we need it. Not only that, but in this teaching, did you notice that the people were all fed until they were full and there was even lots of food left over? Jesus gives us not just what we need, but more than we could ever need if we trust Him and ask for His help. So let’s remember to always try to help those who need our help and have faith that Jesus will help us do just that! Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Bible lessons that also teach us about how we can be better Christians. Help us to always want to help others and have faith in You to help us do what we need to do to accomplish that. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

It’s alright not to have inheritance of silver and any “silver or gold.” God gold that He gave to save us, but rather it was His does not require you own precious blood. (cf. 1 Peter 1:17-19) He gave what He had, and it was a better gift than money ever could be. Only a materialistic person assumes that generosity must be shown through material gifts. Granted, if we have material treasures, we should be willing to share them as necessary, but the greatest gifts are never monetary in nature. This is a lesson we should never forget as we try to cultivate our own generous spirit. Gifts of time, skill, knowledge, wisdom and love are just as important to give as food and clothing. If God has given you an ability, use it to help others. If God has given you wisdom, share it with others so as to help improve their lives. And if God has given you salvation, and the knowledge of how to be save, share that gift of grace with anyone and everyone who will accept it.

And we are “godly” when we remember our promises and covenants, doing everything it takes to keep them, ranging from promises to our neighbors to return their borrowed lawn care tools to the promises we make our children, from fulfilling a job contract to honoring the vows we make in our marriages. Godliness simply means to think thoughts, do things, and live life in general on God’s terms. It’s essential, too, that we learn to do so. The church’s only hope of really pleasing God today is to make its top priority the living out of God’s Word in practical ways on a daily basis. If there is no real power in the lives of Christians and the church seems to have little effect on the culture around it, it is because we’ve lost interest in living life on God’s terms. Let’s get back on track. Let’s make God’s ways our ways and find that they really were the “right ways” all along! “Make me to know Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day long” (Psalm 25:4-5 ESV).

PAU, France (AP) — A French team finally won a stage in this year’s Tour de France when Arnaud Demare of Groupama-FDJ comfortably claimed a sprint victory in the 18th stage on Thursday. After two grueling days in the Pyrenees, Geraint Thomas was able to enjoy his seventh day in the yellow jersey during the less challenging 171-kilometer (106-mile) leg from Trie-Sur-Baise to Pau that featured only two minor climbs and a flat finish.

(AP) — The theatrics came from all the usual suspects. So did the silence. Antonio Brown, just weeks after wondering aloud why he receives so much attention, arrived in a helicopter with his family in tow not far from a Nike-sponsored bus emblazed with his latest hashtag “Destroy Doubt” splashed above the front. Vince Williams stalked out of his black pickup truck wearing a studded leather vest and hauling a championship wrestling belt while his stereo blasted WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s theme music. Yet the loudest statement by a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers as the defending AFC North champions arrived for their annual three-week stay at Saint Vincent College came from someone who didn’t say anything at all. While his teammates carried their gear into dorms then headed to the practice field for light conditioning work, All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell stayed away. Again. The optimism that Bell and the Steelers preached during the offseason about the prospects of signing a long-term deal has faded, replaced by the reality that he will likely wait until the end of camp to sign his one-year franchise tender to start what could be his final year in Pittsburgh. “It’s a business,” Brown said. “Everyone (has) got to do what’s right for their business. When he comes we’ll welcome him.” Even if the men Bell lines up with would like to see him a little earlier than they did in 2017. Bell waited until Labor Day to sign his franchise tender and although he arrived in shape, it took several weeks for him to get rolling. Bell averaged 103 total yards during Pittsburgh’s sluggish 3-2 start then put up 143 total yards per game during a 10-1 sprint to the finish. Given a choice, the Steelers would prefer not to have to wait for one of the NFL’s most versatile players to start playing like one. “I’m going to send him a text like, ‘Yo, come in four days earlier, try to get a couple practices in,” center Maurkice Pouncey said with a laugh. Coach Mike Tomlin called his communication with Bell “fluid” and “normal” but declined to get into specifics. “I’ll leave the details of it between him and I,” Tomlin said. “I want to stay focused on the guys that are here.” Good luck with that. While second-year back James Conner, rookie Jaylen Samuels and veteran Stevan Ridley will get plenty of chances to show Tomlin and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner — promoted in January when Todd Haley’s contract was not renewed — what they can do, the starting job goes to Bell the second he walks through the door. The 25-year-old remains a vital part of Pittsburgh’s best chance at unseating New England atop the AFC. He shouldn’t lack for motivation after the Los Angeles Rams signed Todd Gurley to a contract extension on Thursday that made him the highest-paid running back in the league. At least, that is, until Bell potentially hits the open market next spring. “No matter what he’s going to get paid eventually,” said Pouncey of Bell, who is guaranteed to make $14.5 million this season. Bell tweeted out “lol and ppl thought I was tripping?” after the terms of Gurley’s deal were released and later added “I’m actually extremely See STEELERS | 2B John Minchillo | AP file The Bengals have opened camp in a familiar situation — without linebacker Vontaze Burfict for the first four games. Burfict is serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancers. Bengals open camp without Burfict Linebacker suspended for violating NFL policy on performance-enhancers CINCINNATI (AP) — While the Bengals defense settles in to learn a new system during training camp, linebacker Vontaze Burfict is just passing through town. He’ll miss the start of the season for a third year in a row, this time on a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancers. It’s a conundrum for the Bengals , who have remained loyal to Burfict despite his history of misconduct and suspensions. His absence will be especially noteworthy this year as the Bengals adjust to a new defense under first-year coordinator Teryl Austin. When camp opens with the first practice on Thursday, they’ll be teaching him the system while also preparing everyone else to play without him for the first month. “Unfortunately, we’re probably too experienced at it,” coach Marvin Lewis said. The results so far haven’t been all that encouraging. Burfict was suspended for the first three games in 2016 because of his history of egregious hits during games, including his blow to Antonio Brown’s head during the Steelers’ first-round playoff victory the previous season. The Bengals lost two of three and finished with a losing record. Last year, Burfict got another three-game suspension from the league for his egregious hit on Kansas City’s Anthony Sherman during a preseason game. Undeterred, the Bengals gave Burfict a three-year contract extension and got off to an 0-3 start and another losing season. Burfict is one of the most vocal leaders on the defense. He’ll practice with the team until the preseason ends and his suspension begins, preventing him from being around the team for a month. “We’re going to miss the heck out of Vontaze,” cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said Wednesday. Coaches liken it to missing an injured player, though it’s not an exact comparison. When a player gets hurt, someone else steps into the job full time. In this case, the Bengals have to get the defense on the same page of the new playbook, while also getting it ready to function without one of its leaders for a significant part of the season.

(AP) — NASCAR Chairman Brian France insisted Wednesday that his family is dedicated to its racing properties despite a report the business is for sale. France was asked on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio about a potential sale of NASCAR. Reuters reported in May the France family was exploring a sale of NASCAR’s sanctioning body. Forbes last month said the France family was seeking only minority investors. Both reports cited unidentified sources, and France referred to them as “rumors.” “The France family is locked and loaded in its dedication to NASCAR,” France said. “We’re focused on ruling and managing NASCAR. There’s nothing to report on that. Rumors are always interesting, but they’re seldom right.” France has not made himself available to reporters since the MMA star Conor McGregor pleads guilty in melee case NEW YORK (AP) — This time, Conor McGregor didn’t put up a fight. The mixed martial arts star pleaded guilty on Thursday to disorderly conduct and will perform five days of community service to resolve charges stemming from a backstage melee at a New York City arena in which he was caught on camera hurling a hand truck at a bus full of fighters. McGregor will also be evaluated for an anger management program and barred from contact with fighters injured in the mayhem after a news conference for the UFC 223 event at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in April. There are no restrictions on McGregor’s travel. If he stays out of trouble for a year, his record will be wiped clean. If he violates the terms of his plea deal, he could be jailed for up to 15 days. Prosecutors said he’s already paid to fix the bus. “I just want to say I’m thankful to the DA and the judge for allowing me to move forward,” McGregor said outside a Brooklyn courthouse. “I want to say to my friends, my family, my fans, thank you for the support.” The 30-year-old Irish brawler, who last month said he regretted his actions, then rushed to a waiting SUV with his entourage, separated by bike-rack barricades from dozens of photographers and reporters and a self-professed superfan.

Jim France also heads IMSA, the sports car series, and was instrumental in NASCAR’s recent acquisition of ARCA, a low-level stock car series. France used a portion of his call to Sirius to laud both IMSA and his uncle’s vision. “I think we’re the best road racing show in town,” France said. “I will tell you that road racing in general is more popular than ever. IMSA, our brand of road racing that we’ve been trying to do for a number of years, is more popular than ever, more manufacturers are participating and I’m excited about it. My uncle has done an incredible job. He’s put his heart and soul into this thing and it pays off.” France said he doubted NASCAR will entertain Tony Stewart’s push to add either a Cup or Xfin- Some questions that shouldn’t be pondered in NFL 2018 By Barry Wilner The Associated Press There are 32 NFL franchises, and probably 32 questions we can ask about each of them. Some are quite pertinent: Carson Wentz or Nick Foles behind center in Philadelphia? Will J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson return healthy to Houston and carry the Texans back to the AFC South lead? Will fans be screaming for their firstround rookie quarterback to get on the field, like, yesterday? Good questions all. But we’re concerned here with the irrelevant queries. Such as: 1-Can Tom Brady win at age 41? Maybe you should ask this question when he is 51 — just kidding, Gisele. At 40, Brady was as Tom Terrific as ever, even without his favorite receiver, Julian Edelman, for the entire season. To think he suddenly will go over the hill with the way he trains and his smarts and competitive fire is foolhardy. “Obviously, I evaluate last season and things I can do better. I don’t think this offseason was any different for me,” he has said. No, Brady won’t play forever; the Jets, Bills and Dolphins surely can’t wait until he disappears, not to mention the rest of the AFC. But wondering about Brady’s competence in 2018, when he just might win his fourth league MVP award, is an irrelevant task. 2-Will the Browns win a game? Yes they will, maybe even in Week 1 at home against their archrivals, the Steelers, but more likely somewhere else in the first half of a schedule that isn’t exactly daunting. We understand that every matchup for a club that is 1-31 under coach Hue Jackson is challenging. Still, the Browns added enough talent to win a handful of games or more — and that’s not even considering what top overall draft pick Tony Dejak | AP file The Cleveland Browns have signed cornerback Denzel Ward a day before opening training camp. Ward was the fourth player taken in this year’s draft and he is expected to start. Baker Mayfield might provide at quarterback if he gets on the field. 3-Will Jimmy Garoppolo ever lose a game? Yes, he will — plenty of them. Sure, Jimmy G is 7-0 as a starter, including 5-0 when he took the reins in San Francisco last year. Look for that first loss to come early this season, perhaps in the opener at Minnesota, a major challenge for the rebuilding 49ers. Visits to the Chiefs and Chargers also are on the September docket. So thoughts of Garoppolo remaining unblemished are irrelevant. That doesn’t mean he won’t improve; he might do so significantly. “I don’t know how much of a jump you’re going to see,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “When you talk about expectations, I don’t know how you’re going to live up to that. He did very good last year. If we had 400 yards a game, does that mean we need to have 600 the first five games to improve? I don’t know what the numbers will be, but we will be a better offense.” 4_Will the NFL and Briefs From page 1B remaining signup will run from 6-8 p.m. on Monday, July 30.

Racine FBC Basketball Camp RACINE, Ohio — The Racine First Baptist Church will be conducting a free basketball camp for kids in grades K-6 at the church’s Outreach Center. The three-night players’ union find common ground on national anthem protocol. Or anything else? Nope. Not even close. The 10-year labor agreement expires after the 2020 season. The union has fought the league on virtually every topic in it and quite a few outside of it. The anthem policy unilaterally imposed by the league and teams is the latest sticking point. Common ground between these sides? Irrelevant. 5-Is Jon Gruden headed back to the broadcast booth after this season? It might be tempting for Gruden once he sees how much pro football locker rooms and player approaches have changed since he previously worked a sideline 10 years ago. Still, to suggest a guy with his enthusiasm, intelligence and creative streak is going to sour on coaching so soon is … irrelevant. Gruden could be hardpressed to win much this season with Oakland, but he’ll put his stamp on the Raiders, and they will be better for it down the line — when he’ll almost certainly be around. camp will run from Monday, July 30, through Wednesday Aug. 1, between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Southern boys basketball coach Jeff Caldwell will be directing the camp.

Eldora currently hosts a popular Truck Series event, but Stewart wants more NASCAR action. “Probably not going to have that phone call any time soon,” France said of talking to Stewart. “The schedule is pretty full. He’s done a great job of running Eldora and other things he’s doing in the dirt track stuff, so good for him.” Bengals From page 1B They signed linebacker Preston Brown to a one-year deal in March, bringing in a player from Buffalo who can help them get through that first month without Burfict. “We have to have the other guys assume the leadership, the communication, everything that way,” Lewis said. “He’s such a dominant personality that we almost have to stifle him in order to do that.” Lewis declined to say whether he would hold Burfict out of the preseason games, as he’s done in the past when the linebacker faced a seasonopening suspension. Austin plans to give Burfict a lot of practice time. “I anticipate him practicing like nothing is going on and then when we get toward the end and he has to take a break, then he has to take a break,” Austin said. Burfict will miss the season opener at Indianapolis followed by a Thursday night home game against AFC North rival Baltimore and road games against Carolina and Atlanta. He can return for an Oct. 7 game against Miami at Paul Brown Stadium, which is followed by another home game against the Steelers. He has a history of getting back to speed quickly after returning from a suspension. “One thing to his credit: He’s been able to come back to playing as though he’s been playing football,” Lewis said. “If we say he’s going to play 20 snaps, he plays 40. If we say 30 snaps, he plays 50. He won’t come out once he’s in there, and then all he’ll do afterward is tell you guys how he’s winded and we made him play too much. But he’s the one who won’t come off the field.” bers, and varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders will be able to purchase reserve seats on Wednesday, Aug. 8.

(AP) — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doubled down Wednesday on insisting that his players stand for the national anthem, declaring that he wouldn’t support anyone who chose to stay in the locker room. Speaking at his annual news conference to open training camp in California, the outspoken billionaire became the first owner to say publicly that his players would not be allowed to stay off the field during the anthem. “No,” Jones said when asked if he would support players staying in the locker room. “Our policy is that you stand at the anthem, toe on the line.” Last week, the NFL and the players’ union agreed to suspend the rule approved by owners this spring that gave players the option of staying in the locker room while allowing teams to discipline players who took a knee or sat during the anthem. The decision to begin negotiating on the issue came hours after The Associated Press reported that Miami Dolphins players who protested during the anthem could be suspended for up to four games under team policy. Last season, Jones was the first owner to declare that he would bench a player for protesting during the anthem. Two of his players — defensive linemen David Irving and Damontre Moore — raised their fists briefly as “The Star Spangled Banner” ended but weren’t disciplined. “I obviously wouldn’t dare speak for any of the other owners, much less in general about 31 other owners,” Jones said. “As far as the Dallas Cowboys are concerned, you know where I stand. Our team knows where I stand on the issue.” The issue erupted in 2016 when then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began protesting police brutality, social injustice and racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem. The demonstration spread to other players and teams. The NFL started requiring players to be on the field for the anthem in 2009, the year it signed a marketing deal with the military. Jones had already owned the Cowboys for 20 years when players moved from the locker room to the field for the anthem. Jones said he understood the point of view of players who say they aren’t protesting the flag or the military. “This is a case where we need to in my mind check that and be real clear that it is, the priority is about the flag, and be real clear about that,” Jones said. “Sometimes it’s best to just be real clear and succinct so that nobody misunderstands. I think that’s our case.” Executive vice president Stephen Jones said the Cowboys don’t have an anthem issue because his father has made his stance clear from the beginning. “I do understand when you see the back and forth,” Stephen Jones said. “But we’ve been consistent and we’ve never moved. Jerry’s never changed his stance once. I think he feels strongly about it.” The younger Jones didn’t want to speak for the players when asked if Jerry Jones’ strong message is the reason none of his players have defied him. “I was always brought up when you work for somebody Alexander making journey back from addict to ring NEW YORK (AP) — Devon Alexander has gone from world champion to painkiller addict to boxer on the comeback trail. He believes the battles he’s waged to get back into the ring will benefit him as he chases another title. Alexander held two world championships by the time he was 23 years old. But after defeating Marcos Maidana in early 2012, Alexander underwent surgery to remove a blood clot from his nose. He was prescribed Tramadol, a powerful opiate painkiller, to help in his recovery. Instead, the drug turned Alexander into an addict. “Every doctor prescribes pain medication, and this was my first time taking anything, any medicine, and I don’t drink or smoke,” Alexander said as he prepared for an Aug. 4 welterweight eliminator with another former champion, Andre Berto, at Nassau Coliseum. “A couple weeks after surgery I found myself taking the medicine when I didn’t need to, and it gradually got worse. I was taking it again and again. “Before you knew it, I was skipping the gym. After a year and a half of it — I am a private person, anyone in boxing will tell you I am — it was very difficult to tell anyone.” But he did, fully recognizing the crossroads he’d reached. He came clean with trainer/coach Kevin Cunningham and with his family. “Everyone looked at me as there is no way Devon would do that. But I had done it,” he said. “It turned my life upside down.” Alexander had one loss against 23 victories after beating Maidana; the loss was to Timothy Bradley Jr., for the WBC super lightweight crown. During his addiction, he actually fought six times, losing three. Two of the defeats came against Shawn Porter and Amir Khan, among the best welterweights around at the time. Alexander knew in late 2015 he couldn’t think about getting back into the ring until he straightened out his life. So he took off more than two years while kicking his addiction. “I am a positive person, a happy person, so I never thought that I wouldn’t fight (again),” the 31-yearold Alexander said. “I made my mistake and took the necessary steps to get help. I had my family around, my coach around, my mom around to do the right thing. I always kept up my pride.” But did he keep up his skills? Putting the gloves back on and hitting the heavy bag or sparring were important steps. Could he still handle the rigors of the ring? Cunningham had few doubts that Alexander would return strongly. AP SPORTS BRIEFS Ex-Buckeye Hartline promoted after shakeup Pierce. Carter averaged 5.4 points and only 17.7 minutes per game while starting only five games last season with Sacramento. He will be entering his 21st season with his eighth team. He is an eight-time All-Star and has averaged 17.7 points for his career. Carter was named Rookie of the Year with Toronto in 1999. Following eight seasons with the Raptors, he was traded to New Jersey in 2004 and also has played for Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas, Memphis and the Kings. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State star Brian Hartline has been promoted to interim wide receivers coach on Urban Meyer’s staff. He succeeds Zach Smith, who was fired Monday amid allegations of domestic abuse. Hartline was on the staff as a quality control coach with receivers last season. Hartline had 90 catches for 1,429 yards and 12 touchdowns for Ohio State from 2005 to 2008 and spent seven seasons in the NFL. He inherits a veteran receiver corps, with the Buckeyes’ top six pass-catchers from 2017 returning. Meyer on Thursday also promoted third-year program assistant Corey Dennis to a senior quality-control position, working with the wide receivers and quarterbacks. LAS VEGAS (AP) — Longtime NBA executive Rod Dennis is married to Meyer’s daughter, Nicki. Thorn is this year’s recipient of the USA Basketball Edward S. Steitz Award. Thorn will go into the Basketball Hall of Fame later this year.

NBA exec Rod Thorn wins USA Basketball’s Steitz Award AP source: Hawks agree to deal with Vince Carter and they’re the boss, you play by their rules,” Stephen Jones said. Jones, who drew praise from President Donald Trump when he said last year that he would bench players, said Trump’s continuing involvement in the anthem issue is “problematic” for the league. Trump weighed in again after news of the Dolphins’ policy broke, tweeting “The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand,” a reference to Roger Goodell. “His interest in what we’re doing is problematic from my chair and I would say, in general, in the owner’s chairs,” Jerry Jones said. “And unprecedented if you really think about it. But like the very game itself, that’s the way it is and we’ll deal with it. But, yes, everybody would like for it to go away.” WNBA All-Stars see coming out as way to help others UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Brittney Griner will always remember her first experience at a WNBA game. She went to watch her hometown Houston Comets play when she was a kid and when the kiss cam turned to a lesbian couple, the fans started booing. The game operations people quickly took the camera off the couple. As society has changed, so has the WNBA. Many of the league’s top players, including several who will be playing in this weekend’s All-Star game in Minnesota, have come out over the past few years — and it has not generated the headlines it once did. The players see themselves not as just basketball role models for young women, but hope they are also making it easier for younger players who may be struggling with their sexuality. WNBA players’ sexual orientation was rarely publicly discussed when the league first started, but now it is embraced and topics like same-sex marriage and child care are commonplace. “It helps so much when you have players on our level come out and tell our story,” said the 6-foot-8 Griner, who came out when she turned pro. “I’ve had young girls who look up to us that haven’t told anyone about their sexuality tell me it’s made them feel more comfortable.” Elena Delle Donne, a captain one of the All-Star teams, revealed before the 2016 Rio Olympics that she is gay. It was just one line in a story that mentioned her then-fiancee Amanda, who Delle Donne has since married. “It’s our times, the 2000s. It’s great to see,” she said. “I’ve been gay my whole life and was fighting it, but it wasn’t something to be ashamed of. Love is love. It’s so great to see the change over the years of people being more comfortable with it.” Diana Taurasi married former teammate Penny Taylor in 2017. The couple has a baby now and Taurasi has joked that each fine she gets for technical fouls is taking away from her son’s diaper fund. She also has talked about how important the league’s health insurance is for her family. Taurasi’s Phoenix teammate DeWanna Bonner has twins and is married to Indiana’s Candice Dupree. Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird, a record 11-time All-Star, decided this past season to publicly reveal she is dating soccer star Megan Rapinoe. Bird, who is the WNBA’s career assists leader and in game’s played, credits Griner for helping pave the way.
