The Blues and Brews Bash kicks off at 6 p.m. on Friday with local rock band Blitzkrieg on the Pomeroy parking lot main stage.

In 2015, Wotherspoon received the Best Guitarist Award at the International Blues Challenge and the band placed second in the Finals. Since the competition, they have been playing festivals and venues around the world, from the Mt. Baker Blues Festival in Washington to the Olsztyn Blues Nights Festival in Poland. The band’s debut studio album entitled “Mystic Mud” was also presented a “Jimi Award” for Best Blues/Rock Album of the Year in 2015 by Blues411.

POINT PLEASANT — The third annual Peck Fest returned last weekend and saw “record breaking” crowds, according to festival founder and organizer, Garry Peck. Friday night saw headliner Tracy Lawrence and Saturday saw Aaron Lewis close out the festival. Held at Peck’s Kanawha River Campground, there were 75 tent camping sites which filled up and Peck nearly ran out of room for the campers which showed up for the two-day event of concerts along the river. There were festival goers from not only the tri-county area but from Alabama, Texas, Pennsylvania and New York who traveled to the event. All those people brought their money into Mason County and the surrounding area, not just to the festival, but to places to buy fuel, food, supplies and at hotels, Peck supposed. Though Peck had been working hard to bring in a crowd, even he was surprised at this year’s attendance. “I was surprised at all the peo- Nicole Foster Aaron Lewis, at left, and Tracy Lawrence, at right, headlined last weekend’s Peck Fest. ple…we had several gate sales and walk-ins,” he said, adding it looked like a small town had formed on the campground and under the See FEST | 2 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, July 27, 2017 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS CHURCH CALENDAR GIBSON VINTON — Ruth Ellen Gibson, 76 of Vinton, Ohio, formerly of Charleston, W.Va., died July 22, 2017.

BUCKEYE STATE NEWS Ohio OK’s funds for medical marijuana tracking system COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Regulators of the state’s budding medical marijuana industry have received approval to spend an additional $6 million over the next two years on projects including a seedto-sale tracking system. The funds for the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program were approved Monday, adding to the previously approved $5 million. Officials say the program will repay the state using revenue from licensing fees. The largest part of the money will go to set up a system to track plants from cultivation through sale. A vendor for the technology has not been selected. Hunt said the program may later ask for funds to set up a system that would allow noncash payments among marijuana businesses, patients and state vendors. Sales of marijuana can be complicated by the unwillingness of banks to participate in transactions that are still illegal under federal law.

Peck and his wife Karrie were even recognized by Rick Modesitt Associates (RMA), a concert booking company, with a “star guitar” autographed by all this weekend’s performers for a successful festival. Garry said the surprise gift, presented by RMA representative Jacob Hill, meant a lot to him and he appreciated the “pat on the back” and recognition for what Peck Fest has been trying to accomplish the last few years. And, there will be a next year. “Yeah, I’m bringing it back next year….there’s too many people looking forward to it,” Garry said, saying he’s already gotten requests for reservations in 2018. “It’s game on.” Garry said the festival next year will be bigger and better and continue to grow. Of course, the festival doesn’t just benefit, so do local organizations. Some proceeds from the festival go back into community organizations determined by the festival committee. A successful festival is good for the community. “There’s no other place around here where you can camp, you’ve got the river for boats and you have concerts… it’s the whole package,” Garry said. the Registrar of Motor Vehicle acknowledging the receipt of the ordinance authorizing the From page 1 motor vehicle registration fee.

Meigs County has high rates of lung disease, stroke, prostate cancer and colon cancer. There are also high incidences of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and asthma. Nearly a third of those surveyed believe that people do not seek mental health treatment because “people worry what others will find out about the issue and/or treatment.” The demographic and health indicator report suggest that mental health is a considerable issue in the county, including high depression and suicide rates. The survey, stakeholder meetings and focus groups also found that community members tend to place blame on individuals for problems they experience related to their mental and physical health. “While there is a certain level of individual choice involved in establishing a healthy lifestyle and reaching out when help is both needed and available, it is important for community members to understand the influence that environment, habit and shame have on a person’s behavior,” the CHIP states. Nearly two-thirds of survey respondents indicated that drug and alcohol abuse in the community was a “primary problem.” Contributing factors to substance abuse indicated by the focus group included, the scarcity of recreational outlets, the poor economy which has exacerbated unemployment and poverty in the area, the rise of opioid use in the region and poor personal choices. There is also a high cooccurrence of mental health issues and substance abuse. Regarding the low awareness of community health resources and treatment options, 65.5 percent of those surveyed reported that substance abuse treatment was not available in the county or that they did not know if it was available in the county. Residents were also unaware of how to access mental and behavioral healthcare. The stakeholder meeting, focus group and Forces of Change Assessment all reported a pervasive sense of apathy in the community. This is likely to increase negative health behaviors and decrease healthy behaviors. “Meigs County is a tight-knit community, something that all participants in the CHA agreed upon. This greater sense of community contributes to the high level of social and emotional support reported by Meigs County residents,” the CHIP states. Some of the recommendations to address the concern areas included, consistent branding, resource identification, resource sharing, evidence-based environmental strategies, engaging the community, and monitoring the health indicators over time. Many of these can be achieved through the health department, GHM! and other stakeholders working together to create a consistent brand for all messages, as well as communicating what resources and services area available through their agencies and other agencies in the area. Encouraging more members of the community to become involved on GHM! and the initiatives which come from it will increase the sustainability of the CHIP and the healthier lifestyles promoted through it. From page 1 many tents in the field where the festival took place. In addition to more people, there were more things for those people to do this year, including more vendors and activities, more sponsors, and large video screens on both sides of the stage.

Meigs County ranks:66th in health outcomes (bottom 25 percent); 55th in length of life (bottom 38 percent); 74th in quality of life (bottom 16 percent); 80th in health factors (bottom 9 percent); 80th in health behaviors (bottom 9 percent); 64th in clinical care (bottom 27 percent); 84th in social and economic factors (bottom 5 percent); 14th in physical environment (top 16 percent). But what is it that contributes to those numbers and how can those things be made better. That is what the CHIP looks at. GHM! looked at the indicators which can impact the health of the region. There are cultural impacts to engaging local residents to improve health, including a “heartfelt love of place,” a “belief in fate” and a “distrust of people from outside the area.” “For those reasons, individuals within the community will have the strongest possible impacts on health. Engaging residents, soliciting their feedback and having them contribute to decisions and changes in the county to improve health will provide the highest likelihood of success,” states the CHIP. This highlights the importance of involving as many local people and organizations as possible when considering ways to improve the health of the community. Other factors which contribute to the health are the rural challenges, including a shortage of healthcare providers, lack of employment opportunities, low wages, lack of access to exercise opportunities, and few outlets to healthy food. Looking at the indicators and speaking with stakeholders, local residents and looking at the studies, allowed for GMH! discussions, through the community health assessment, to identify major health related themes and trends. The major health related themes and trends identified include: Detrimental economic issues, need for recreational area, need to encourage healthy behaviors, high rates of chronic illness and mortality, stigma related to mental health; perception that individuals are to “blame” for their own health issues, perception of substance abuse as a key issue in the community, low awareness of community health resources and treatment options, a sense of hopelessness and strong sense of community support. Detrimental economic issues include the lack of resources and opportunities for residents due to high unemployment and poverty rates which contribute to negative health behaviors and barriers to health care. The focus group, survey, stakeholder meeting and environmental scan all indicated that there was a need for accessible recreational areas. Over two-thirds stated that there were either “few” or “none” when asked about outdoor recreation. The Meigs County Demographic and Health Indicator Report found a pattern of behaviors that contribute to chronic medical conditions, including, low physical activity, lack of preventative care, inadequate nutrition from fruits and vegetables, high rates of smoking ALBANY — A BBQ, Ice Cream Social and Music Night will be held at the Albany United Methodist Church located at the corner of Williams and W.

Businesses/ Now hiring at Amazon: Thousands in one day WVPA newspaper seminar upcoming Submitted CHARLESTON, W.Va. — For anyone interested in learning how and why newspapers are selling, how newspapers are purchased, the current market value of newspapers, or about the state and future of the newspaper industry, the West Virginia Press Association Newspaper Ownership Initiative is a “must attend” seminar. That’s the opinion of Don Smith, executive director of the WVPA. The WVPA is hosting its annual convention Aug. 3-5 at Canaan Valley Resort, and the WVPA Newspaper Ownership Initiative is a major attraction this year. Speaking on the Ownership Initiative, set for Saturday, Aug. 5, at 10 a.m., Smith said, “This seminar has really generated some interest in the industry and across the state. Newspapers are selling across the country and in West Virginia. There is real value in community newspapers and many people are looking at the industry. Here in West Virginia, we have some outstanding newspapers that might be available for purchase — the owners are thinking of retirement — and some potential new owners who are looking at options. Additionally, everyone is interested in learning about market value and the state of the industry.” “We have several folks coming just for this seminar. We have an outstanding panel and several members, such as Dave Slavin, a newspaper broker, will be at convention for two or three days to allow for private conversations,” Smith said. “This is just the start of the Newspaper Ownership Initiative. We will continue to work with owners and buyers, with the state and private partners to identify resources, and in areas such as broadband expansion and community development to increase the marketability of our newspapers.” Smith said the panel offers attendees a wide array of resources: Dave Slavin, senior associate, W.B. Grimes & Company. Established in 1959, W.B. Grimes & Company’s Newspaper Division has assisted owners and publishers with the analysis, acquisition and disposition of over 1,500 media properties. Slavin will discuss newspapers sales, newspaper value, the marketplace, and related information and opportunities. Mike Fleak, Small Business Administration product specialist, Huntington Bank. Huntington Bank has been the No. 1 SBA lender in the region for the past eight years. Fleak will discuss resources and options available to small businesses and prospective buyers in West Virginia. Mike Taylor, Randolph County Commission. Taylor is commission president, serves on the board of directors of both the West Virginia Association of Counties and the West Virginia County Commissioners Association, and was selected to participate in the National Association of Counties Annual County Leadership Institute. He is also the County Commission representative for Randolph County’s Chamber of Commerce and Development Authority. Taylor will address the value of a newspaper to the local community. Michael Dempsey, Certified Valuation Analyst, Smith Cochran & Hicks PLLC. SCH is a West Virginia-based accounting firm with understanding of the current obstacles facing small businesses. A diverse firm, SCH takes an aggressive approach to assisting business with a commitment to helping keep more earning through effective tax planning strategies. SCH offers analysis of non-security investment opportunities to ensure an informed investment decision. Dempsey will discuss tax, investment and opportunity analysis as relates to West Virginia businesses. Andy Malinoski, communications manager, Frontier Communications Corporation. Frontier provides communications services to urban, suburban, and rural communities in 29 states. Frontier offers a variety of services to residential customers over its fiber-optic and copper networks. Frontier Business Edge™ offers communications services to small, medium, and enterprise businesses. Malinoski will discuss broadband and Internet services in West Virginia as relates to newspaper digital and online media operations. “The WVPA is tasked with helping our member newspapers, but it’s clear that the state, counties and communities also value their newspapers,” Smith said. “Not everyone agrees on the editorial positions or coverage, but no one has said their community would be better off without a newspaper. Having a local newspaper - like having a healthcare center or higher education facility - makes a community more attractive to current and future residents, businesses and industries. “Community newspapers are indispensable to the communities they serve. There is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its job.” Warren Buffet Smith said the WVPA Newspaper Ownership Initiative is designed to sustain and strengthen state’s newspaper industry by identifying resources key in the process of marketing, recruitment, purchase or sale of newspapers. “Our panel of experts will cover key issues: How do owners and potential buyers determine the current market value of a newspaper? What tax and accounting preparation is needed for a sale or purchase? What banking and lending resources are available to both sides? How and why are newspapers selling today?” Additionally, the Ownership Initiative will look at identifying available newspapers and potential buyers. Does purchasing a weekly newspaper make sense for graduates of the WVU Reed College of Media, Marshall University School of Journalism or other university and college graduates in West Virginia? Is newspaper ownership an interesting option for retirees or individuals and families that seek the lifestyle that newspaper ownership and West Virginia offer? As the state seeks to attract new industry leaders and corporate offices, is community newspaper ownership/operation an interesting opinion a spouse or family members? Other issues to consider: What is the value of a local newspaper to the community, the county and the state of West Virginia? Is there public and private support and interest for continuing community newspapers on the local level? What economic development, training and educational resources are available? “We hope everyone can attend and hear the presentations, “Smith said. “Whether you’re interested in selling or buying a newspaper in 10 minutes, 10 months or 10 years, this is a must-attend seminar. “ For information on registering for the seminar, convention or to reserve a room at Canaan Valley Resort, visit http:// wvpress.org/?p=45958.

Part of that involves opening new warehouses, or fulfillment centers, and filling them with employees. Consequently, Amazon has often reported quarterly losses , even as revenue grows. The number of fulltime and part-time workers at Amazon has swelled from 56,000 at the end of 2011 to more than 340,000 last year. In roughly the same period, the number of people employed by the parent company of Sears and Kmart has been slashed in half to about 140,000 workers. Amazon plans to expand further: It recently announced a $13.7 billion deal to buy organic grocer Whole Foods, it added Sears’ Kenmore appliances to its website and it’s rolling out its own ready-tocook meal kits, competing with companies such as Blue Apron. The details Amazon’s stock increased $10.03, or 1 percent, to $1049.90 in early afternoon trading Wednesday, after Amazon announced its plans. Amazon.com Inc. said its jobs offer health insurance, disability insurance, retirement savings plans and company stock. Pay differs based on location, according to job postings on Amazon’s site. It is offering a starting rate of $13 an hour for a fulltime job in Baltimore and $12.25 an hour for a similar position in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The job fair will take place next Wednesday from 8 a.m. to noon local time and will include tours and sessions with company representatives. Job prospects will also be introduced to robots and other automation technology Amazon uses at its warehouse operations. The event will take place at 10 Amazon shipping sites. Besides Baltimore and Kenosha, they are Chattanooga, Tennessee; Etna, Ohio; Fall River, Massachusetts; Hebron, Kentucky; Kent, Washington; Robbinsville, New Jersey; Romeoville, Illinois and Whitestown, Indiana. Amazon will also hold events for part-time positions in Oklahoma City and Buffalo, New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon plans to make thousands of job offers in just one day as it holds a giant job fair next week at nearly a dozen warehouses across the U.S. Those offered jobs on the spot will pack or sort boxes and help ship them to customers. Nearly 40,000 of the 50,000 jobs will be full time. Most of these jobs will count toward Amazon’s previously announced goal of adding 100,000 full-time workers by the middle of next year. The hiring spree is yet another sign of Amazon’s massive growth at a time when traditional retailers are closing stores and cutting jobs. It’s also a way for Amazon to lock in employees before the start of the busy holiday shopping season, when other retailers look to hire seasonal workers.

Replacing a press secretary is no big deal. But Spicer apparently thought he was going to be promoted to communications director, and had interviewed people for the press secretary’s job. It’s hard to believe he didn’t get that idea from the president. But suddenly Anthony Scaramucci, a financier, Trump pal and Fox News commentator, was in as the communications chief, and Spicer quit suddenly. He’s been replaced by his deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, daughter of GOP right-winger Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor. Sanders had been subbing for Spicer and has generally looked just as miserable as he did while being argumentative with the press. Scaramucci fancies himself a silver-tongued guy, but he’s now going to be in the eye of the storm, and his comment on Spicer was, “I hope he goes on to make a tremendous amount of money.” That shows he didn’t have a high opinion of the beleaguered Spicer, who was tasked with explaining one embarrassment after another of the Trump White House. Scaramucci’s also said to be no fan of Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who helped to block him from getting a White House job some time ago. So if this signals that Priebus is falling out of favor with Trump — that’s not a good omen, with Priebus being regarded as a fairly level head. The Trump administration isn’t proceeding with business. It’s lurching from one crisis to another, with the president said now to be trying to find a way to fire Robert Mueller as chief investigator of the Russia-Trump campaign connection. If that happens, Scaramucci’s silver tongue may have some tarnish on it. Quickly. THEIR VIEW Smuggling deaths show need for humane immigration laws The following editorial appeared in The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday, July 25: The horrific death of at least 10 immigrants sneaking across Texas this weekend in the back of a tractor-trailer rig with no air-conditioning is a tragic reminder of the lengths people will go to in pursuit of a better life. It’s also a grim, cautionary tale about greedy predators who stand ready to capitalize on that greatest of all human suffering — that irrepressible yearning for a better life; in this case, a shot at the American dream. It’s small solace that the driver of that rig was arrested and charged Monday with illegally transporting the immigrants, nearly three dozen of whom were found in a Wal-Mart parking lot in San Antonio. The question we all should ponder now is this: What can we do to stave off such tragedies, and to shut down sinister underground enterprises that exploit a vulnerable, yet steady stream of desperate souls? Telling people to come into the country legally doesn’t work. Those paths are few. And as the ringleaders of these human smuggling rackets well know, desperate people do desperate things. That’s why we find the rhetoric from Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and other immigration saber-rattlers so troubling. Building walls, mass arrests, deportations — they are sound bites that play to the get-tough crowd but do little to actually solve the problem. Yes, border security is important. But the lure of a better life will forever tempt those trapped in despair. It’s important for our leaders to be smart about immigration reform. And to look at the whole picture. The flow of illegal immigrants into the United States has slowed in recent decades. The vast majority of those still coming through Mexico — many from Central America — are looking for work, not trouble. They are a pillar of our growing economy. Turning our backs on those fleeing violence or hopeless situations, as we’ve seen with the refugee crisis in Europe, simply shifts the burden elsewhere. The consequences are dire: More opportunities for human smugglers to prey on those looking for any way out; more people sneaking into the country and living in the shadows. It’s not the American way. THEIR VIEW Lessons in loyalty in DC WASHINGTON — Washington has always been driven by loyalties. Staffers are expected to be loyal to their bosses. Their bosses are expected to be loyal to their districts and states. And the president, as the chief executive, is expected to be loyal to the country above all else. But expectations in D.C. are rarely realities and in Donald Trump’s worldview, loyalty is a special brand of currency. So it’s no surprise that the high drama that unfolded in Washington on Tuesday as the Senate voted to open debate on health care reform was as much a lesson in loyalties as it was a debate on health care policy, as the future of Obamacare hung on a single vote and the future of Trump’s presidency continued to be dragged down by crises of his own construction. One brand of loyalty was on display from Republican senators, for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. As the day began on Tuesday, McConnell had no bill, no CBO score, and almost no leverage over senators. McConnell had to lean on his holdouts hard. He told Rand Paul he’d get his “repealonly” vote. He worked Sen. Ron Johnson up to the last minute into the “yea” column with 48 on the board. All he really had in his column was an argument that something would be better than nothing, and his caucus’ loyalty to him as their leader. For most of them in the end, that was enough. Another kind of loyalty was on display Tuesday systematically from Sen. John Patricia humiliating SesMcCain, a man Murphy sions since he whose life has been defined at so Contributing recused himself from the investigamany points by his columnist tion into Russian decision to stay interference in the 2016 with his own men in the election. fight again and again.

Trump has been rity, loyalty, and extraor- dinary character.” In reality, Sessions has been loyal to Trump. But his first loyalty up to this point seems to have been to the Constitution, not to the president. Senate Republicans have been loyal, too. But so far most of them have been loyal to McConnell, and when pressed, some have been loyal to their own chances of reelection, which looks a lot like loyalty to Trump, but isn’t. Many have also risen above the chaos in Washington today and been exceedingly loyal to the country. Sen. Richard Burr, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, comes to mind. And so, too, does John McCain. But will they be loyal to the president, especially after he has taken to calling them “the Republicans,” and humiliating, bullying and threatening them to get his way? Don’t count on it, especially if his poll numbers fall below their own. Personal loyalty for the president has always been Trump’s measure of any man, but it has never been reciprocal. He’s about to find out that in Washington, everyone has loyalties — to their party, to their leaders, to themselves. But they’ve all taken an oath to be loyal to the country above all else, including the president. Some will even live up to that oath and there’s nothing he can say, do, or tweet to change that.

The loss was the first for Ledecky at worlds. BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Katie Ledecky surged to the wall. Someone else was already there. For the first time ever at the world championships, Ledecky knows what it’s like to lose. Bidding to become only the second female swimmer to win six golds at a single worlds, Ledecky settled for silver in the 200-meter freestyle Wednesday evening when Italy’s Federica Pellegrini surged to a stunning victory on the final lap. Pellegrini, the world-record holder, avenged a close defeat at the hands of Ledecky two years ago in Kazan, Russia. This time, it was the Italian touching first in 1 minute, 54.73 seconds. Ledecky and Australia’s Emma McKeon tied for the silver at 1:55.18. “I knew it was going to be a tough field and that I’d have to have a really good race and I just didn’t really have it today,” Ledecky said. “I can’t complain really with the silver medal.” While Pellegrini covered her mouth in delight and climbed atop a lane rope to celebrate, Ledecky stared blankly at the scoreboard. She had never seen a “2” beside her name at the world championships. But there it was in Budapest, where Ledecky’s unbeaten streak in the second-biggest swimming competition after the Olympics finally came to an end. “I didn’t really feel at the end that I had that extra gear that I normally have,” said the 20-year-old from the Washington, D.C., suburbs. “I didn’t really see much for the last 50, so I was just trying to put together a good race.” Ledecky had been 12 of 12 See LEDECKY | 7 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS RVHS golf meeting slated for Monday, July 31 BIDWELL, Ohio — Students wanting to play golf for River Valley High School will meet at 5 p.m. Monday, July 31, at Cliffside Golf Course to organize for the 2017 golf season.

Practice rule forcing teams to adjust By Steve Megargee Associated Press The two-a-day football practices that coaches once used to toughen up their teams and cram for the start of the season are going the way of tear-away jerseys and the wishbone formation. As part of its efforts to increase safety, the NCAA approved a plan this year that prevents teams from holding multiple practices with contact in a single day. The move has forced plenty of schools to alter their practice calendar, with many teams opening their preseason as early as this week. Officials don’t mind if it causes a few logistical headaches as long as it reduces the head injuries that had become all too common this time of year. According to the NCAA’s Sport Science Institute, 58 percent of the football practice concussions that occur over the course of a year happen during the preseason. Brian Hainline, the NCAA’s chief medical officer, says August also is a peak month for catastrophic injuries resulting from conditioning rather than contact, such as heatstroke and cardiac arrest. “There was just something about that month really stood out,” Hainline said. “We couldn’t say with statistical certainty if this was because Marshall football coach Doc Holliday, middle, asks for an explanation of a call during the second quarter of a Conference USA football contest against Charlotte on Oct. 22, 2016, in Huntington, W.Va. of the two-a-days, but there was enough consensus in the room and enough preliminary data that it looked like it was because of the two-adays.” Some coaches believe the benefits could go beyond reducing concussions. “I don’t think you’re going to have the number of injuries that you had, especially the soft tissue injuries — hamstring pulls, quad pulls, groin pulls,” Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz said. Teams still can hold two practices on a given day, but one of those practices can only be a “walkthrough” that includes no contact, helmets, pads or conditioning activities. Three hours of recovery are required between a practice and a walkthrough, though meetings can be held during that period. “It just makes all the sense in the world,” Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. Most programs were trending away from two-a-day practices long before this decision. More than threequarters of the 89 Football Bowl Subdivision teams that responded to an Associated Press survey on the subject said they conducted multiple practices on certain days last year. But in the overwhelming majority of cases, teams made sure one of those workouts had limited or no contact. Those teams won’t have to change their approach too much. Hainline said he didn’t know exactly how many programs were still holding multiple contact workouts on certain days before the NCAA ruling, but he said it was more common in the Division II ranks than among FBS schools. Coaches say that because players are on campus working out all year, there’s no need to work them quite as hard once preseason practices begin. “Back in the day, we used two-a-days to get in shape,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. “You weren’t there all summer. You didn’t come until the second half. They didn’t train from January until June like they do now.” Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick, a member of the Division I football oversight committee, agrees that times have changed. As an example, he cites the See RULE | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Ledecky From page 6 over the last three championships, including three golds in this stately European capital. But her most audacious schedule yet — six freestyle events covering distances ranging from 100 meters (on a relay) to 1,500 (the grueling metric mile) — finally caught up with her along the banks of the Danube. Missy Franklin will remain the only female swimmer to win a halfdozen events at worlds, while Ledecky can still take comfort in being the winningest female swimmer overall. Twelve golds leave her trailing only fellow Americans Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte for the most victories. And now she’s got one silver, too. “It happens,” said Ledecky, who will be a Severino, homers lead Yanks past Reds heavy gold medal favorite in her last two events, the 800 free and 4x200 free relay. “It happens to every athlete at some point. I know this race will really motivate me moving forward and the rest of the week as well.” Of course, losing to Pellegrini was hardly an embarrassment. The 28-year-old became the first swimmer in the history of the championship to capture seven medals in a single individual event. Pellegrini’s incredible run in the 200 free began at the 2005 worlds in Montreal, where she grabbed a silver. She was third in 2007 at Melbourne, then won the event at back-to-back worlds, including a world-record performance in 2009 (1:52.98) that still stands from the rubber-suit era. Pellegrini was runnerup at the last two worlds, finishing behind Franklin in 2013 at Barcelona and Ledecky two years ago.

Division I schools received a blanket waiver for this season allowing them to start practice one week earlier than usual. Nearly two-thirds of the FBS programs that responded to the AP survey are starting practice in July rather than in August, as is customary. Those early starting dates led to scheduling complications for some programs. Hamrick said Marshall will still have nearly two weeks remaining in its current summer school session when it starts practice Friday. “If I were to take the full 29 days of practice, we would have to go back into summer school, and our players would not have a chance ever to get home after summer school and summer program,” Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. That raises the question of whether the NCAA should continue allowing 29 practice sessions. Further complicating the matter, the oversight committee would like to find a way to have every FBS team have 14 weeks to play 12 regular-season games. “Do we need 29 practices? Probably not,” North Carolina coach Larry Fedora asked. “We can get away with less than that.” THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Rick Steves' Europe "Edinburgh" News at 6 ABC World (N) News (N) 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. (N) News (N) 2 Broke Girls Eyewitness News (N) BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. (N) News (N) 6 PM 6:30 THURSDAY, JULY 27 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Western Michigan wants to show it’s not a one-hit wonder. But MidAmerican Conference West rival Toledo, with one of the nation’s best quarterbacks, seems to have all the right pieces to grab the spotlight back from the Broncos. The planets finally aligned for long-suffering Western Michigan in 2016. Embracing indefatigable coach P.J. Fleck’s “row the boat” mantra, the Broncos finished 13-1 and won the MAC for the first time since 1988 and only the second time in history. Their MAC West title broke Northern Illinois’ string of six appearances in the conference championship game. Fleck was snapped up by Minnesota after the season and took a halfdozen assistants and some top recruits with him. New coach Tim Les- ter, who played quarterback for the Broncos in the 1990s, will find out if Fleck left enough behind to keep them a contender in the MAC West.

Barrett, offensive Worley said. lineman Billy Price, Lewis, the Big Ten defensive linemen Tyquan Lewis, Tracy Sprinkle and Defensive Lineman of the Year last season, said he Michael Hill, linebacker jnaveau@limanews.com wrestled with the decision whether to go into the NFL draft this year or return for a fifth season. “It was a tough decision. My family background is not the best. It was a life-changing opportunity but the place I’m at is a life-changing opportunity as well. It was just a difficult moment,” he said. “ I had to think about it and talk it over several times and go through the process in my head. Every day, a million times somebody was asking me, ‘What are you going to do?’ There was just a lot that went into it. “It was more so about unfinished business on the field but football wasn’t the main thing. It was about my family and my life.” Price said, “I don’t regret coming back at all. “With that age comes wisdom and experience that I would love to tell to my freshman self, my sophomore self, whatever. It is kind of weird being the old guy in the room. I’ve been though a lot at Ohio State. I’ve been through different coaches, different position coaches and cultures. “I’ve been through the highest of the highs with a national championship, and the lowest of the lows with being embarrassed. We (the seven fifth-year players) have a bond that can’t be broken,” he said. With age and experience also comes the expectation that those players will be leaders. Worley said Meyer emphasized that expectation to Lewis and him on the night the Buckeyes lost 31-0 to Clemson in a College Football Playoff semifinal on New Year’s Eve. “He pulled us aside and it was a grown man conversation. It’s easy to be a leader when everything is fine. But it takes a little bit extra when it’s games like that. He said it’s time to be a leader now,” Worley said. Lewis said he and the other fifth-year players began to pay more attention to their leadership roles after the loss at Penn State last season. “We had to step up and take ownership and be more accountable for our actions after that. Leaders had to be much more accountable. We needed to re-evaluate ourselves. No more phoniness. Guys had to step up because we weren’t supposed to let stuff like that happen to us,”he said. While OSU’s seven long-time players take their leadership role seriously, they don’t take themselves overly seriously. When a reporter referred to Lewis as “an old-timer” at the Big Ten Media Days on Monday, he said, “ “I’m still young, man. Come on. I’m still young. I can’t say I’m an old-timer but I’ve been around. I still can lead the team the best way I can.” Ohio State’s players are wearing plastic wrist bands that say “One strong” on the outside and “Mind. Heart. Body” on the inside. OSU knows what it has with its fifth-year players. It hopes it has something great with a 2017 recruiting class that was ranked with the best in the country. The rest of the team could hold the key to the season, Worley said. “We do have a bunch of older guys returning and a lot of young guys who are coming in who look like they’re destined to be great. So it’s like once we can figure out the middle part of our team and figure out what type of people they are, it’s just going to build up,” he said.

REED & BAUR INSURANCE 820 East Main St. Pomeroy, OH | 740 992 3600 www.reedbaur.com Insuring the Heartland ® www.buckeye-ins.com FARM HOME AUTO 60728234 Peter Morrison | AP Jordan Spieth of the United States, with his caddie Michael Greller, lines up a putt on the 9th green during the third round of the British Open Golf Championship at Royal Birkdale, Southport, England, on Saturday. After winning the Open, Spieth paid tribute to Greller’s skills and his role in the victory. Ex-math teacher aids Spieth as caddie SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — A former sixth-grade math teacher, Michael Greller is strong in numbers. Jordan Spieth leaned more on his caddie’s words at the British Open. “This is as much mine as it is his,” Spieth said as he clutched the silver claret jug. And then he turned to look over at Greller and said, “You deserve all the credit in the world for this major championship.” Greller still had to work out some new math at the most critical juncture of the final round at Royal Birkdale. Spieth was hitting his third shot from the driving range and couldn’t see any part of the par-4 13th hole. He thought he was about 270 yards away and was planning to hit 3-wood. Greller estimated the yardage closer than that and told him to hit 3-iron. “I certainly didn’t have any numbers from the right side of the range,” Greller said. “Honestly, getting a good line was tough. He thought it was a 270-yard shot. I was just looking at all that gorse and thought it was a little shorter. Short was fine. From there, he did what he has always done.” In a situation like that — has there ever been a situation like that with a major on the line? — Spieth said he normally would trust his own instincts. But not this time. “On that one, he seemed very confident,” Spieth said. “He was very adamant about what club to hit, and it gave me the confidence to hit it, because sometimes when that happens I’ll still go with what I think. But he was right on.” Those weren’t the only meaningful words on Sunday. It was the calm in his voice when Spieth’s world was falling apart. It was reminding Spieth at the right time who he was and what he has accomplished, using as a reference a photo from a beach holiday in Mexico where Spieth posed with a group of star athletes that included Michael Phelps and Michael Jordan. And it was reminding him that his bogey on the 13th, while costing Spieth the lead for the first time all weekend, was the shot of winners. As they walked off the 13th green, Greller stopped Spieth. “He said, ‘That’s a momentum shift right there.’ And he was dead on,” Spieth said. “And all I needed to do was believe that.” How the former math teacher from the Seattle area stumbled into a job for golf’s hottest property remains an amazing tale. It dates to more than a decade ago when Greller, who caddied in the summer for extra cash, noticed a player in U.S. Amateur Public Links who was carrying his own bag. He offered to caddie for Matt Savage, free of charge, and they made it into match play before losing in the semifinals. Savage’s golf instructor in Louisville, Kentucky, was Mike Thomas, the head pro at Harmony Landing and father of a teenager, Justin Thomas. So when the younger Thomas played the U.S. Amateur at Chambers Bay, Savage hooked them up. A year later, Thomas recommended Greller to his best friend in golf for the U.S. Junior Amateur — Spieth. Spieth turned pro before Thomas and asked Greller to work for him. With some trepidation, Greller left his job as a math teacher to work for a 19-year-old who didn’t even have a tour card. That was four years, 11 PGA Tour victories and three major championships ago. Also at Royal Birkdale was Jim “Bones” Mackay, perhaps golf’s most famous caddie after spending 25 years with Phil Mickelson. Before signing on with NBC Sports, it wasn’t clear if Mackay would work for another player. One of the more short-sided suggestions was that he work for Spieth. It was offensive to Greller, laughable to anyone who has watched them. The foundation of player-caddie success is the relationship, and Greller is rooted in that. It’s what attracted Spieth to him in the first place. It was Greller who brought levity to a nervous situation when Spieth took a four-shot lead into the final round of the 2015 Masters by saying on the first tee, “Aren’t you glad you’re not at Pasatiempo right now?” That’s where the Texas Longhorns were playing a college match. Spieth would have been a senior. Instead, he won a green jacket. Greller lived through Spieth’s collapse at Augusta National last year. And he found the right tone, the right words, when Spieth was headed for another one at Royal Birkdale with three bogeys in the opening four holes to lose the lead. Most memorable for Spieth was when Greller brought up the photo from Cabo San Lucas. “We walked off 7 tee box and he made me come back,” Spieth said. “He said, ‘I’ve got something to say to you.’ He said: ‘Do you remember that group you were with? You’re that caliber of an athlete. But I need you to believe that right now because you’re in a great position in this tournament.’ “It was just the right time,” Spieth added. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
