RCP to present ‘Annie’

By Morgan McKinniss
mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest.com

GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County Commissioners
signed a ﬁnal resolution Thursday morning for the
upcoming tax levy for the Guiding Hand School to
be placed on the November ballot.
This is intended to provide an additional $1
million as a continuing levy. Guiding Hand, which
has not been on the ballot since 2003, is carrying
more of the cost now - costs that state funds used
to absorb.
“We provide Medicaid services. For each dollar spent in Gallia to support people with developmental disabilities, 40 cents comes from tax
dollars. In 2003, it was 28 cents,” said Pamela
Combs, director of Guiding Hand School.
This increase in costs comes from legislation
at the state level causing more funding for these
kinds of institutions to come from the local level.
“It’s like a cost of living increase. Things are
generally more expensive now,” stated Combs.
If the levy were to fail, Guiding Hand School

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio doctors
would report the speciﬁc
diagnosis of every patient
who receives a prescription painkiller under
a tentative agreement
reached Friday with the
Kasich administration.
The 11th-hour compromise between the Republican governor’s ofﬁce, the
state Medical Board and
associations representing doctors and hospitals
followed months of wrangling over new opioid prescribing rules proposed in
April in a state that leads
the nation in opioid addiction and death.
A record 3,050 Ohioans
died from drug overdoses
in 2015, a ﬁgure expected
to jump sharply once
2016 ﬁgures are tallied.
The compromise on
prescription reporting
was reached in time for
a legislative rule-making
panel’s scheduled vote
Monday.

THEIR VIEW

Preserving
tradition
via a meal
Time is nearing for the two annual dinners
in Gallia County that not only satisfy visitors’
desire for bean soup, but also continue the
observance of a tradition going back more than
a century that arose out of a conﬂict that once
tore our nation apart.
Vinton will host its bean dinner, organized by
American Legion Post 161 and its auxiliary, on
Aug. 5 in Community Park, following the parade
that courses through the village starting around
11:30 a.m. The Rio Grande Memorial Association and Bob Evans
Farm stage its dinner on Aug. 12
at the BEF Shelterhouse. Both are
continuations of similar gatherings
that began in the years following
the Civil War of 1861-1865, in
which Union veterans shared their

to more of a family
and neighbor reunion,
but the historical
basis for the gatherings hovers over all of them.
Many of the dinners were held in Gallia and
Meigs communities for decades, but now only
Vinton and Rio Grande keep the tradition alive.
Vinton’s initial Grand Army of the Republic
campﬁre is thought to have occurred as early
as 1868, but that claim exists only anecdotally
because, as historian John Holcomb has pointed
out, no documentary evidence exists as support.
In fact, the ﬁrst local newspaper mention of
Vinton’s dinner seems to have been in 1883. Rio
Grande’s event began in 1870. The Rio Grande
dinner has for many years featured a history
supplied by educator Bob Leith that helps
ground the reason for the event’s existence.
Such traditions also remind us of the area’s
involvement in the war, such as the re-creation
of the Battle of Bufﬁngton Island at Portland
from a few weekends ago to the Emancipation Proclamation celebration, continuously
observed in Gallia County since 1863. This
year’s observance is set for the third weekend
in September at BEF. The link to the war is
attributable to southern Ohio being subject to
the raid of Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan,
whose forces swept through several counties,
burned Vinton’s covered bridge over Raccoon
Creek to delay pursuing Union troops and met
defeat at Bufﬁngton Island. Additionally, 1863
saw the creation of West Virginia in support
of the North, with campﬁres reported in Point
Pleasant well into the 1890s. Morgan’s Raid is
not in all of the literature of the Civil War, such
as Bruce Catton’s mammoth studies of the GAR
in the 1950s and the war itself in the ’60s, but it
happened.
The homecoming aspect of the bean dinners
became apparent in the early decades of the 20th
Century with fewer survivors of the war able to
celebrate with their fellow combatants. Accounts
of the bean dinners presented estimates of those
folks attending, some running into the thousands
who, in one colorful report of Vinton’s event,
“made the beans suffer.” The gathering of relatives and friends remained popular but suffered a
decline during the World War II years; however,
by 1947, with the return of numerous local veterans volunteering their time, local bean dinners
were once more in full sway. Bean dinners remain
a kind of homecoming today, but the historical
event that caused their existence is still a major
part of their heritage.
If you’re into the cultural background of the
Vinton and Rio Grande bean dinners, or if you
just like bean soup and enjoying other folks’
company, give them a try. Some individuals may
ﬁnd other ways to enjoy a summer Saturday outing, but these are well worth your time.

As her testimony
before the committee
continued with questions
from committee members, Clyburn continued
to make reference to the
stories that she had heard
from those at the summit
and town hall.
“When you have a

that might be worried
whether her website or
her experience would

there’s deﬁnitely a lesson to be learned.
Whether its on the ﬁeld, in the gym,

Hall of Fame inductees Jeff Bagwell, left, Tim Raines, center, and Ivan Rodriguez, pose in January for a photo during a news conference in
New York. Bagwell, Raines, Rodriguez, Bud Selig and John Schuerholz each carved his own niche in major league baseball, and on Sunday
they will receive the game’s ultimate reward — induction into the Hall of Fame.

Inductees ready for HOF
Raines, Bagwell, Pudge, Selig and
Schuerholz to be enshrined today
COOPERSTOWN,
N.Y. (AP) — Tim Raines
played in the major
leagues for more than
two decades, and yet one
at-bat still sticks in his
mind.
Nervous about making the Montreal Expos’
roster after two brief
call-ups that didn’t work
out so well (one hit in 20
at-bats), his performance
on Opening Day 1981
in Pittsburgh erased any
doubt. Raines led off the
game with a walk, stole
second on the ﬁrst pitch
to the next batter and
scored after the errant
throw to second eluded
the outﬁelders.
A star was born.
“I think that was the
beginning of the type of
player Tim Raines could
be,” Raines recalled. “It
kind of got me going.
I think if I would have
struck out and not do
anything offensively that
game, I’m not sure what
would have happened to
my career. I hadn’t really
proven to anyone what
type of player that I was.
It kind of just took off
from there.”
His baseball journey
ends Sunday in Cooperstown, when the
57-year-old Raines will be
inducted into the Baseball
Hall of Fame. Joining him
are Jeff Bagwell and Ivan
Rodriguez, along with
former Commissioner

Bud Selig and retired
Kansas City and Atlanta
executive John Schuerholz, both elected by a
veterans committee.
Raines received 86
percent of the vote by the
Baseball Writers’ Association of America to easily
top the 75 percent threshold needed. That tally
came on his ﬁnal year on
the ballot, an oversight
that’s difﬁcult to fathom
in retrospect.
The switch-hitting
Raines batted .294 and
had a .385 on-base percentage in his 23-year
career, ﬁnishing with
2,605 hits, 1,571 runs
and 808 stolen bases.
The stolen bases is the
ﬁfth-highest total in
major league history and
includes 70 or more steals
in each season from 198186, a streak that stands
alone in baseball history.
Take a closer look at his
accomplishments on the
basepaths, and they are
quite remarkable — his
84.7 percent success rate
tops the list among players with at least 400 steal
attempts.
Raines credits his fortune to the increasing
popularity of sabermetrics, advanced statistics
that give greater insight
into a player’s worth.
“I think they kind of
looked at the numbers on
the baseball cards,” said
Raines, who overcame a

“You can have ability, but if you don’t have
discipline, if you don’t work on things you
have to do, it’s going to be hard for you to do
it in your career.”
— Ivan Rodriguez,
HOF inductee

recreational drug addiction that hampered his
production early in his
career. “There’s more to
the game than just those
numbers. Guys can be
just as important to a
team and an organization
in a lot of different ways.”
Rodriguez, who holds
the major league records
for games caught (2,427)
and putouts by a catcher
(12,376), hit 311 homers and batted .296 in
his career. No surprise
that he’s only the second
catcher elected on the
ﬁrst ballot, following in
the footsteps of his childhood idol, former Cincinnati Reds star Johnny
Bench.
In 21 seasons spent
mostly with the Texas
Rangers, Rodriguez was
a 14-time All-Star, won
a record 13 Gold Gloves
and took home seven Silver Slugger awards.
“I think I just prepared
myself,” said the 45-yearold Rodriguez, affectionately known as “Pudge.”
”I’m talking about blocking thousands of balls,
making thousands of
throws to second base,
trying to throw the ball to
the right side of the base.
“You can have ability,

but if you don’t have discipline, if you don’t work
on things you have to
do, it’s going to be hard
for you to do it in your
career.”
The 48-year-old Bagwell, who played his
entire 15-year career with
the Houston Astros, was
elected in his seventh
year on the ballot. He’s
the only ﬁrst baseman in
history with 400 career
home runs and 200 stolen
bases.
“This is all overwhelming to me,” Bagwell said.
“Parts of me wonder,
‘Why am I in here?’”
Bagwell ended his
career with 449 home
runs, was 1991 NL
Rookie of the Year and in
the strike-shortened 1994
season hit .368 with 39
homers and 116 RBIs in
just 110 games to unanimously capture MVP
honors.
Just as impressive:
From 1996-2001, Bagwell
had at least 30 home
runs, 100 runs scored and
100 RBIs per season, only
the sixth player in major
league history to reach
those marks in at least six
straight years.

Bengals open camp at full-strength
CINCINNATI (AP)
— Giovani Bernard took
the handoff, avoided a
defender with a jump
cut and ran 70 yards to
the end zone. A.J. Green
made a diving catch on
the sideline, the golden
bottoms of his cleats
ﬂashing in the sunlight.
Tight end Tyler Eifert got
open for a catch over the
middle.
The Cincinnati Bengals’
ﬁrst practice of training
camp was a throwback
to the days when their
diversiﬁed offense was
formidable.
Three of the Bengals’
best playmakers were
back on the ﬁeld Friday
after missing much of
last season with injuries.
Bernard was the most
impressive, showing
no residual effect from
surgery to replace a torn
ACL in his left knee last
December. He didn’t even
wear a brace.
“I knew that once I felt
right, I was going to be
back on the ﬁeld,” he said
after practice, smiling
nonstop. “It happened
to be today. I got cleared
two or three days ago.”
And another speedy
addition isn’t far away.
Rookie receiver John
Ross was cleared to participate in non-contact
drills on Friday as he
continues to strengthen
a surgically repaired
shoulder. The ﬁrstround pick set an NFL
combine record in the
40-yard dash, and the
Bengals are looking for
ways to add his speed to
the mix.
Second-round pick Joe
Mixon is trying to earn
a signiﬁcant role in the
backﬁeld, perhaps challenging Jeremy Hill for
the starting job.

John Minchillo | AP

The Cincinnati Bengals practice during an NFL training camp Friday in Cincinnati. Three of the Bengals’ best playmakers — Giovani Bernard, A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert —
were back on the field after missing much of last season with injuries.

“I’m not going to say
this is the most talented
team we’ve had, but
it’s got to be up there,”
seventh-year quarterback
Andy Dalton said.
The Bengals went 6-9-1
last season in large part
because of their depleted
offense, ending their
streak of ﬁve straight
playoff appearances and
ﬁrst-round losses. Green
missed most of the second half with a severe
hamstring injury, and
Eifert missed roughly half
the season because of
ankle and back injuries.
He had surgery on his

back in December.
His recovery from the
surgery was slower than
his rehab from the ankle
injury, keeping him off
the ﬁeld during offseason
workouts.
“It’s completely different,” Eifert said. “You
have to give it time. With
the ankle you are trying
to get it stronger. With
a back if there are issues
and your muscles aren’t
ﬁring, there is only so
much you can do.”
Without Eifert, Green
and Bernard, the Bengals
slipped signiﬁcantly last
season. They scored only

325 points, their fewest
during Dalton’s six seasons in Cincinnati. Their
35 touchdowns were their
fewest since Dalton and
Green’s rookie year in
2011.
Green repeatedly drew
applause from the crowd
of approximately 1,300
people with his slick
catches, including a sideline grab when he hit the
ground hard but held on.
It was a reminder of how
much they missed him.
“A.J.’s the best receiver
in the league so when
you get a guy like that, it
changes the way teams

try to play you, it changes
the looks you’re going to
get,” Dalton said.
Ross will be one of the
more intriguing players
during camp once he’s
cleared to practice fully.
The Bengals had him
ﬁelding punts on Friday,
with mixed results. He
participated in drills but
no 11-on-11 plays. He
expects to be fully cleared
soon.
“It’s been so long,”
Ross said of his recovery.
“When you have to watch,
it’s harder to be excited
and to be in tune with
things, especially with

the guys when you’re not
doing anything. Now I
get to be a part of it.”
Notes: WR Monty
Madaris and special
teams leader Cedric
Peerman haven’t been
cleared to practice.
Peerman was limited to
six games last season
because of a broken forearm. … CB Adam “Pacman” Jones got one of
the loudest cheers from
the fans. He’s suspended
for the ﬁrst game of
the season by the NFL
because of an altercation
with a hotel security ofﬁcial in the offseason.

RB Bell holding out as Steelers start camp
LATROBE, Pa. (AP)
— The Pittsburgh Steelers trickled into training camp on Thursday
in pickup trucks and
Porsches, Rolls Royces
and Rubicons.
And in the case of ageless linebacker James
Harrison, a ﬁretruck.

Because of course he
did.
Left tackle Alejandro
Villaneuva showed up
too, arriving with pen in
hand to sign a contract
extension that made the
former Army Ranger a
millionaire several times
over as the protector of

quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s blind side for the
rest of the decade.
Yet the player perhaps
most vital to Pittsburgh’s
hopes of tracking down
Super Bowl champion
and longtime nemesis
New England by the end
of January was nowhere

to be found.
While his teammates
went through the customary opening paces
— from check-in to a conditioning test — Le’Veon
Bell never made it to St.
Vincent College.
The Pro Bowler has
yet to sign the franchise

tender that will pay him
more than $12 million
this season.
And while they’d rather
have Bell’s familiar No.
26 on the sideline when
practice starts Friday, the
guys blocking for him
understand business is
business.

“I’m not mad at him,
I’m happy for the guy,”
guard Ramon Foster said.
“It’s an opportunity for
Le’Veon to take care of
his family for generations,
so why not take care of it
now?”

Kizer looking polished in camp competition
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Nothing screams rookie
about DeShone Kizer.
After wrapping up a
news conference Friday,
when he handled questions about Cleveland’s
three-way quarterback
competition with the
ﬁnesse of a polished politician, Kizer was escorted into the Browns’
facility with two members of the team’s media
relations staff ﬂanking
him.
If he’s not the starter,
Kizer certainly is being
treated like one.
He looks ready for the
part.
Kizer took snaps with
the starting offense during the Browns’ ﬁrst practice of training camp on
Thursday and coach Hue
Jackson acknowledged
afterward that the former
Notre Dame standout has
made signiﬁcant progress
since minicamp. Kizer
is not making the same
mistakes and he is moving with a conﬁdence that
indicates he knows he
belongs.
“The way that they’ve
thrown me into the
ﬁre in the last couple
months has been one
that has allowed me to
grow quickly and to
become comfortable
pretty fast,” he said
before Friday’s workout.
“It’s (the starting job)
out of my hands, and I
look forward to just trying to play well when my
time does come.”

Tony Dejak | AP

Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer throws a pass during practice at the team’s training camp Friday in Berea, Ohio. Coach Hue
Jackson acknowledged afterward that the former Notre Dame standout has made significant progress since minicamp.

It may be here soon.
The second-round
pick is competing with
veterans Cody Kessler
and Brock Osweiler to be
Cleveland’s Week 1 starter, a job that has been
mostly a part-time gig in
recent years because of
injuries and roster shakeups.
But while Kizer lacks
the experience of Osweiler (13 NFL wins) or Kessler (eight career starts),
the 6-foot-4, 233-pounder
appears to have all the

necessary tools to handle
starting duties.
At Notre Dame, Kizer
played on a big stage
nearly every week, and
Fighting Irish coach
Brian Kelly prepared
him for the scrutiny he’ll
get as a pro by demanding perfection on every
play.
The Browns, who have
been in a nearly constant
search for a franchise
quarterback for most of
the past 20 years, aren’t
going to rush Kizer into

the lineup. However,
coach Hue Jackson and
his staff won’t hold him
back if they feel Kizer
gives them the best
chance against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept.
10.
Just last season, Philadelphia started rookie
Carson Wentz and Dallas pushed Dak Prescott
onto the ﬁeld for their
openers. It’s possible the
Browns may do the same
with Kizer, whose goal is
to start — now or in the

near future.
“There’s multiple ways
of getting there,” Kizer
said. “This is an awesome
environment to learn and
develop. Coach Jackson’s
had a lot of success with
quarterbacks and developing quarterbacks and to
have the veteran offensive
line, it’s a great opportunity for me to learn as
much as I can to hopefully have some success
early — if that time has
come.”
Kizer isn’t skipping any

steps in his development.
Following minicamp, the
21-year-old spent ﬁve
weeks in California working with Kessler quarterback guru Tom House,
who helped him ﬁne-tune
his throwing mechanics.
He also picked the
brains of NFL QBs Matt
Ryan, Matt Stafford and
Blake Bortles, hoping to
learn all he could about
his new profession.
“I was able to kind
of be a ﬂy on the wall
to guys who have had a
lot success,” Kizer said.
“Matt Ryan’s a guy who
obviously was the MVP
and has shown that he’s
headed in the right direction to be a great quarterback.
“Some of the things
that he does within his
workouts I like to emulate
myself. He’s a guy who’s
all about quality over
quantity and takes every
rep seriously.”
Osweiler, who went 8-6
with Houston last season, has already noticed
a major change in Kizer
and has been impressed
with his quick growth.
“DeShone is a tremendous quarterback,” he
said. “He just keeps getting better and better.
He’s in great shape physically. He’s really on the
screws when it comes to
his playbook. The kid has
a big arm. There’s not a
throw he can’t make. He
has a ton of talent. I’m
very excited to see what
he does.”

Myles Garrett impressive as Browns open camp
BEREA, Ohio (AP)
— On Day One, Myles
Garrett looked like a
legitimate No. 1.
Bursting off the line
of scrimmage during a
pass-rush drill, Garrett
quickly got around offensive tackle Rod Johnson,
a fellow rookie who
could do little to slow
down the speedy defensive end and top pick in
this year’s draft.
Garrett was quickly
in the backﬁeld and
came within arm’s reach
of quarterback Kevin
Hogan, prompting loud
cheers and the traditional barks and woofs by
Browns fans who spent
most of the last season
muzzled and miserable.
On the next play,
with coach Hue Jackson
watching, Garrett beat
Johnson again.
Garrett’s dominance
on consecutive snaps
was among the biggest
highlights Thursday as
the Browns took their

ﬁrst steps in distancing
themselves from going
1-5 in 2016.
“I was over there in
that ring,” said Jackson,
who is keeping close
tabs on the franchise’s
newest star. “Obviously
he’s a good player. But
as I told Myles, you’ve
got to do it every day
and keep working at it
and keep his head down
and stay humble and
keep working. And I
think the young man will
do that.”
Just having Garrett on
the ﬁeld was a summer
victory for the Browns.
The former Texas
A&amp;M standout sprained
his left foot when he
stepped on quarterback Brock Osweiler’s
foot during minicamp
last month. There was
initial concern it was
both serious and could
potentially sideline him
for an indeﬁnite period.
However, the Browns,
besieged by costly inju-

ries in the past, ﬁnally
caught a break and Garrett is 100 percent.
“After a couple days I
knew it wasn’t too bad,”
Garrett said before practice. “They were keeping
me out to protect me
and my future.”
Cleveland’s future
appears promising with
the additions of Garrett, defensive back
Jabrill Peppers and QB
DeShone Kizer, three
high-proﬁle rookies
who could shape the
franchise for years. And
while the Browns have
fallen prey to unreal
expectations before during nearly two decades
mired in losing, they
may ﬁnally have a player
capable of leading them
from the darkness.
“I give credit to our
executive team because
we drafted the right one,
in my opinion,” Jackson
said.
Garrett is the complete package. Blessed

with rare physical gifts,
the 21-year-old also has
refreshing humility,
something that comes
across during interviews.
Before taking the ﬁeld,
Garrett was asked about
how he would deﬁne a
successful rookie season.
“Starter,” he said.
Garrett then rattled off
some loftier goals.
“I mean Defensive
Rookie of the Year would
be a nice way to go,” he
said. “… But ﬁrst I’ve got
to get to the ﬁrst team.
I’ve got to put some work
in. But until then, I’m
just keeping my head
down, keeping my mouth
closed and listening.
Keep on working.”
Garrett knows he has
a lot to learn and he’s
eager to work on his
game against Browns
left tackle Joe Thomas,
a 10-time Pro Bowl
selection who has never
missed a snap in his pro
career. He described

Thomas as “one of the
greatest of all time”
and Jackson said the
matchup can only help
Garrett.
“It can be a really good
teaching moment,” said
Jackson, who kept Thomas out of team drills during the ﬁrst workout. “Joe
is up for that challenge,
trust me. He is looking
forward to it. It is going
to happen. When is it
going to happen? I don’t
know. I’m not scripting
it to happen, but I know
it is going to happen at
some point in time. It is
going to be a good challenge for them both, and
we are looking forward to
that.”
Beyond his playing skills, Garrett has
brought a new mindset
to the Browns. While he
sympathizes with what
his older teammates
dealt with last season,
when they dropped their
ﬁrst 14 games, Garrett
is only concerned about

what’s ahead.
“Last season’s over,”
he said. “We’re about to
crank up into a whole
new, different time
period.”
NOTES: WR Corey
Coleman said he’s conﬁdent he will be cleared
in an investigation surrounding an altercation
involving his brother in
January. Jonathan Coleman was indicted last
month on a felonious
assault charge. Coleman
remains under investigation for an incident
that happened in his
apartment building. He
deferred any questions
about his involvement to
his lawyer. … WR Kenny
Britt caught a long TD
pass from Cody Kessler
before leaving the ﬁeld
with what Jackson said
were cramps. … Starting
OGs Joel Bitonio and
John Greco were both on
the ﬁeld after undergoing major foot surgeries
last year.

Bell

about Bell simply getting
to camp.
Brown, who signed
a four-year, $72-million
extension in February
and strolled into camp in
the back seat of a 1931
Rolls Royce, isn’t sure
Bell is making a point by
holding out.
“I just understand the
history of how these
things work out,” Brown
said.
“The Steelers never
negotiate with civilians,
especially when you don’t
show up. The ﬁrst rule of
getting better is showing
up. But I’m here, everyone’s here, you have to
get the year started off on
the right foot.”
Center Maurkice
Pouncey offered to take a
pay cut to help speed up
the process.
“He can have some of

my money,” said Pouncey,
who signed a $44-million contract extension
in 2014. “I’m totally ﬁne
with that. They can erase
a year of my contract. I’m
cool with just going out
there and playing.”
Bell wants to reset
what has been a stagnant
(by NFL standards) market for running backs in
recent years.
While the 25-yearold is among the most
versatile players in the
league — Bell caught 75
passes in just 12 games
last season — he has
been suspended twice for
violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy and
also has struggled to stay
healthy.
Knee injuries ended
his season in 2014 and
2015 and a tweaked groin
rendered him a bystander

in a one-sided AFC championship game loss to the
Patriots.
He underwent surgery
in the offseason to ﬁx the
groin and coach Mike
Tomlin said there are no
concerns about it being
an issue whenever Bell
decides to pull into the
parking lot. It’s everything else that has Tomlin
concerned.
“We’re a group that
values this team building
process and doing it in
this setting,” Tomlin said.
“There are consequences
of him not being here.”
Tomlin called Bell’s
absence an “unfortunate
circumstance,” one the
team managed to avoid
with Villanueva.
The 28-year-old —
who did several tours in
Afghanistan after graduating from the Army

before giving the NFL a
shot in 2013 — had yet
to sign his one-year exclusive rights free agent
tender the club offered
him in the spring, fueling
speculation he might hold
out.
Instead, Villanueva
was on the ﬁeld running
sprints by late afternoon.
The question now is
when the weapon Foster
called “an MVP candidate” will join in.
No matter how long
Bell’s holdout lasts, the
Steelers don’t expect it to
be a distraction.
“Look at his numbers,
look at his production,”
Foster said. “You know
what he’s going to do
and he does it and you
can’t stop it. Those are
most valuable player
type of folks and I’m
happy to be blocking for

the guy.”
NOTES: The NFL has
not cleared WR Martavis Bryant, coming off
a year-long suspension
for violating the league’s
drug policy, to practice or play in games.
Tomlin called the issue
“procedural” and that
Bryant and the team
“will work extremely
hard” to fulﬁll the conditional terms of Bryant’s
re-instatement. … WR
Sammie Coates will
start camp on the physically unable to perform
list after undergoing a
second arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
… WR Canaan Severin
was also placed on the
PUP list after failing the
conditioning test. … S
Daimion Stafford was
put on the reserve/did
not report list.

From page 2B

Pittsburgh placed the
franchise tag on Bell in
the offseason, but was
unable to ﬁnd common
ground for a long-term
agreement.
General manager Kevin
Colbert tabled any talks
of revisiting an extension until after the 2017
season.
Bell, who averaged
more than 150 yards of
total offense last fall,
tweeted “I guess I just
gotta get better” when
the July 17 deadline
passed without a new
deal in place.
Wide receiver Antonio
Brown isn’t concerned so
much about Bell improving as much as he is

Manuel backs up historic Olympic win with world championship
BUDAPEST, Hungary
(AP) — Simone Manuel
felt the pressure of being
an Olympic champion.
It sure didn’t bother her
at the world championships.
The 20-year-old Texan
backed up her historic
victory in Rio de Janeiro
by rallying to beat Sweden’s world-record holder
Sarah Sjostrom in the
100-meter freestyle Friday.
Hey, when you’ve got
two older brothers, you’re
used to playing catch-up.
“It’s kind of been
ingrained in me,” said
Manuel, who edged Sjostrom on the ﬁnal stroke.
“I want to win, and I’ve
been training to do that
this whole time.”
Last summer, Manuel
became the ﬁrst AfricanAmerican woman to win
an individual swimming
gold at the Olympics
when she tied Canada’s
Penny Oleksiak for the
top spot on the podium.
“It was a lot of pressure
knowing that I was the
Olympic gold medalist in
that event,” Manuel said.
“I had a lot of nerves.”
Another U.S. Olympic
champion came up short
in his bid for an individual gold in Budapest.
Ryan Murphy settled

for silver in the 200
backstroke behind Russia’s Evgeny Rylov, while
another American, Jacob
Pebley, took the bronze.
Murphy swept the backstroke events last summer
in Rio , but he hasn’t
been quite as sharp in
Budapest. He took bronze
in the 100 and simply
couldn’t catch Rylov in
the longer event, the Russian ﬁnishing in 1 minute,
53.61 second to beat Murphy by a comfortable 0.60
seconds.
“There’s deﬁnitely disappointment,” Murphy
said. “I want to be the
guy that’s ﬁnishing ﬁrst,
and I want to be the guy
that has the top time in
the world. So it deﬁnitely
stings a little bit, coming
out of this meet and not
having done that in either
race. But it’s a long way
to 2020.”
It was a huge night for
the Russians, who captured two other individual golds and grabbed a
silver in the men’s 4x200
free relay behind Britain.
Yulia Eﬁmova bested
American rival Lilly
King in the women’s 200
breaststroke, easing a
bit of the sting from two
silvers in Rio and another
loss to King in the 100
breast at Budapest .

United States’ Simone Manuel, bottom, wins the women’s 100-meter freestyle final ahead of Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom, top, during the
World Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, on Friday.

In the men’s 200
breast, Anton Chupkov
held off a pair of Japanese swimmers to claim
the world title. Yasuhiro
Koseki and Ippei Watanabe snagged the silver
and bronze.
Eﬁmova pulled away
on the ﬁnal lap to win by
more than 2 seconds over
another American, Bethany Galat. China’s Shi Jinglin grabbed the bronze
over a fading King, who
slipped to fourth after
setting a blistering pace
early in the race as she
always does.
But King is a 100 specialist and still struggling
to master the longer race.
There was no holding off
Eﬁmova, whose winning
time was 2:19.64.
“Maybe it would be

much faster if I had somebody with whom I can
race,” the Russian said.
“I’m looking for a world
record, but it didn’t happen today. I should keep
working.”
Unlike King, who has
a frosty relationship with
Eﬁmova over blunt comments about the Russian’s
past doping violations,
Galat went over to give
the winner a hug.
“I don’t know her personally, but she won a
gold medal and I think
her time was incredible,”
Galat said. “She’s a heck
of a swimmer, a heck of a
breaststroker. I mean, she
won, of course I’m going
to congratulate her.”
Sjostrom, who set a
world record in the 100
free earlier in the meet
while swimming the leadoff leg of the 4x100 relay,
jumped out to a quick
lead and was under her
own record pace when
she made the ﬂip.

too heavy for me. If it
happens when there’s 10
meters left, you can still
do it. But with 25 it’s too
much. I thought I was unhuman the ﬁrst 50, but I
need to understand.”
Pernille Blume of
Denmark picked up the
bronze.
Manuel claimed her
third gold of this meet,
having also competed on
a pair of winning relay
teams, and she’s still got
the 50 free.
“It felt pretty good,” she
said. “I think I still have
room for improvement,
which is really exciting.”
James Guy powered
the British men to victory
in the 4x200 free relay
with a brilliant anchor
leg, closing out a winning
time of 7:01.70. He was
joined on the top of the
medal stand by Stephen
Milne, Nicholas Grainger
and Duncan Scott.
Russia was next at
7:02.68, while the United
States faded to bronze.

closed the gap and lunged

Earnhardt defends crew chief Ives in shaky final season
DOVER, Del. (AP)
— Dale Earnhardt Jr.
has long reigned as
NASCAR’s most popular
driver. But he thinks too
many of his fans have
started airing in 140-character bursts a most
unpopular opinion — that
crew chief Greg Ives
should take the blame for
the No. 88’s struggles this
season.
Not so fast.
“We’ve had a difﬁcult
year and there’s just been
a little rumbling in the
background from fans,”
Earnhardt said Tuesday.
“They just love to target
the crew chief. Our struggles are no one individual’s responsibility. I think
me and my crew chief, we
have such a very passionate fan base, very large
fan base, it’s a challenging position for anybody.
I’ve seen that, with all
the guys that I’ve worked
with. They’ve all had to
deal with criticism.”
Ives, in his third season
with Earnhardt, was criti-

cized during the Brickyard 400 for his decision
to send the No. 88 to the
pits even though it was
good on fuel before the
end of the second stage.
Had Earnhardt stayed
out, he would have come
off a restart inside the
top ﬁve. Instead, he was
24th and soon wrecked
out of the race when he
connected with Trevor
Bayne. Earnhardt’s crew
also struggled with lug
nuts on one pit stop that
cost him several spots in
the ﬁeld.
Earnhardt, who is retiring after the season, shut
down criticism of the
team on Twitter, where
he has 2.1 million followers, writing, “He never
gave up on me. We’re a
tight group and will ﬁnish
together.”
“Maybe Twitter ain’t
the place to be drawing
attention to things like
that,” Earnhardt said.
“You just hear enough
chatter over the course
of a long period of time.

It wasn’t something that
just happened that particular weekend. Sometimes
you feel like you’ve got to
stand up for your guys. At
least let Greg know, it’s
not OK I guess, to be a
fan, then dog the crew.”
Earnhardt’s ﬁnal season
at Hendrick Motorsports
has been more dud than
dominant, and Indy was
the ﬁfth time this season
he has crashed out of a
race. Earnhardt has just
four top-10 ﬁnishes and
is 22nd in the standings
— his worst full-season
performance since 2009.
He’ll need to win one of
the next six races to end
his Cup career with any
shot at racing in NASCAR’s postseason and
winning his ﬁrst championship.
Earnhardt says he’s
healthy and isn’t focused
on his shift into the NBC
Sports broadcast booth
next season. Earnhardt
said negotiations began
after he decided to leave
racing and continued for

several months before the
two sides agreed to the
deal in the past few days.
“I think that’s what they
hired me for, was to be
myself and give my point
of view,” he said.
And his point of view
this week? Fans — and
the media — need to
pump the breaks on pointing ﬁngers in Earnhardt’s
woeful season.
“We’ve had some pretty
difﬁcult results and had
a lot of opportunity to be
frustrated and miserable,”
he said. “But I don’t want
this season to be remembered by my crew chief,
myself and my guys as
a miserable, miserable
time. The fans have an
inﬂuence on that. They
can deﬁnitely ease up a
bit on Greg and realize
that he’s extremely talented. He’s in that position
for a reason.”
Earnhardt, who spoke
at a Goodyear tire test
at Dover International
Speedway, is off this
weekend to Pocono Race-

way, where he swept two
races in 2014. There’s
little time to worry about
the Brickyard.
“I’ve had a lot of bad
ﬁnishes in my career,” he
said. “But I can’t remember anything about those
and I probably won’t
remember much about
this season, a couple
years down the road.
What happened in Indy
will be long forgotten.
I try not to dwell on it
too much like I used to. I
used to let it eat me alive
until we got back to the
track.”
Earnhardt, 42, is
excited about his future
at NBC. The agreement
with NBCUniversal
announced Monday
will allow Earnhardt to
pursue “a wide range of
opportunities in the company’s media businesses,
including movies, television, podcasts, and other
areas” including football
and perhaps even the
Olympics.
Earnhardt said he

might pattern part of his
new job after broadcasters he admired, including
greats Barney Hall, Ken
Squier and Benny Parsons.
“I’m green as heck ,”
Earnhardt said.
He will watch next season with a headset as Ives
tries to steer replacement
Alex Bowman to better
days in the 88. Asked
if he had any second
thoughts about retirement, Earnhardt was
quick to say no.
“It’s easy to focus on
the race. It’s hard to focus
on the distractions,” he
said. “There are responsibilities outside the car.
There’s a lot more this
year. It seems like they’ve
always kind of escalated
each year. It’s harder to
focus on that stuff. That
stuff does deserve some
time and energy. It’s a
little harder to do that
and do it right because
you want to make sure
the racing is getting
everything it needs.”

Penn St. football coach has eyes on present, future
CHICAGO (AP) —
Restoring Penn State’s
reputation and returning
its star near the top of
the college football galaxy
once again should have
earned James Franklin
some long-term job
security. The fourth-year
coach isn’t taking any
chances.
Expectations are high
in Happy Valley after the
Nittany Lions went 11-3,
won the Big Ten title and
turned up in the Rose
Bowl last season. That
performance, coupled
with the return of Trace

McSorley and Saquon
Barkley — one of the best
returning quarterbackrunning back tandems in
the land — has Nittany
Lions fans talking about
a Top-10 or even Top-5
spot in the preseason
ranking.
Like the Penn State
faithful, Franklin can’t
wait to see what comes
next. But unlike the rest,
he’s already casting one
eye on the future.
In perhaps the funniest
moment at the Big Ten
media days — no small
feat anytime Michigan

coach Jim Harbaugh
puts in an appearance —
Franklin suggested Barkley’s parents get to work
right away on producing
another Heisman Trophycaliber son.
“I’m actually trying
to ﬁgure out if it’s legal,
NCAA-wise,” he said. “I
want to send mom and
dad on a romantic vacation and try to convince
them to have more children.
“The Saquon thing,”
Franklin added, “worked
out pretty well.”

in the form of the home
study course; students
met to get their course
materials then returned
a week or two later for a
hands-on review session
followed by the test. The
test itself never changed
– it was 100 questions of
multiple choice, true or
false, and matching.
All of that changed

My initial impression
about the new course
is that it’s a lot tougher
than it was before; the
new examination is still
100 questions, but it is
all multiple choice, and
it requires a slightly
higher level of comprehension – not just for
reading the questions,
but also for understanding the questions if
they have someone else
read them. I don’t suffer from a gatekeeper
mentality. I genuinely

want students to pass
the class and get their
hunter education certificates, but I have always
thought the class was
possibly too easy.
It may take hunter
education instructors
a little bit of time to
get familiar with the
new material. Keep
in mind that the vast
majority of hunter education instructors are
volunteers who receive
nothing for teaching
the course; they do it
because they care and
they want young people
to be able to safely enjoy
hunting.

The Ohio Valley Museum of Discovery brought several activities for those in attendance to try out during their program.

Reading program features books, bubbles and more
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

MEIGS COUNTY —
Bubbles, books, turtles
and more could be seen
during the annual summer reading program at
the Meigs County Public
Library.
The annual program
took place from early
June through late July
with weekly programs,
and a program ending
pool party.
Library Children Services Supervisor Emily
Sanders said that there
were 248 kids registered
for the program this summer.
The theme for the 2017
program was “Build a
Better World.”
While attendance at
the weekly events varies
throughout the program,
Sanders said that “Bubble
Trouble” with Jeff Boyer
was the best attended of
the series.
Nancy the Turtle Lady
is an ever popular program, which was divided
into two sessions to allow
for the kids to spend
more time checking out
the turtles, snakes, bearded dragons and other
animals.
Other programs
included the Ohio Valley
Museum of Discovery,
Armstrong Air &amp; Space
Museum, Cartoonist
Jeff Nicholas and Jenny
Ridenour from the Meigs
Soil and Water Conservation District. The ﬁnal
event was the annual pool
party at London Pool in
Syracuse.
While the weekly programs and the annual
themes change each year,
the program has been in
place for many years.
Sanders estimated that
the summer reading program may date back 30
years or more, and was
previously organized by
Norma Hawthorne for
many years in the 1980s
and 1990s.
In addition to reading
incentives and weekly
programs, the library
was also a site for serving meals to children
throughout the duration
of the program. The meal
sites coincided with the
programs and story times
held at each of the library

Zion park aims
to require

SALT LAKE CITY
(AP) — It would be a
ﬁrst for a U.S. national
park: requiring reservations to get in. But it’s
an option that Zion
National Park is considering to manage an
overwhelming surge of
visitors to its sweeping
red-rock vistas and canyons in Utah.
Zion, which welcomed 4.3 million people last year, is weighing online reservations
for those who want to
explore its main canyon. National Park Service rangers struggle to
cope with overcrowded
tour buses and alleviate
damage to Zion’s natural wonders, including
soil erosion and human
waste near trails.
People without reservations could pay an
entrance fee and drive
through the park, but
they couldn’t stop to
hike or picnic.
“We have to do
something,” said park
spokesman John Marciano. With limited
budgets, Zion’s Park
Service rangers routinely see long lines and
plants trampled by visitors who also have cut

complaint is conﬁrmed by
an investigation a written
notiﬁcation will be sent
to the property owner
ordering the abatement
of the nuisance. In other
words the offending party
will receive orders to
clean up the garbage, or
repair the septic system.
Nuisances should be abated within 1 to 30 days
depending on the severity of the health hazard.
When an abatement order
is neglected or ignored,
the board of health may
decide to cause the arrest
and prosecution of all
persons offending, or to
perform, by its ofﬁcers
and employees, what the
offending parties should
have done and assess
the cost to the property
taxes. Prior to any action
taken by the board the
offending person has the
right to public hearing to
show just cause why the
board should not proceed
with any legal action.
Based on the past
examples of public health
nuisances and to avoid
an investigation by the

health department a property owner should look
closely at a few of the
following routine maintenance activities:
Properly dispose of
all household garbage
weekly. Keeping putrescible wastes on your
property for more than
seven days is a violation
of Ohio law. Burning of
household garbage is also
a violation of Ohio law.
A list of Registered Solid
Waste Haulers is available
at Meigs-Health.com. The
cost of properly disposing
garbage using a hauler is
typically only $15-$25 per
month.
Inspect and maintain
your septic system.
Newer septic systems
have components that
must be service annually. All systems no
matter how old should
be pumped out every
3-5 years. If you have an
aeration system or other
mechanical components,
ensure they are functioning. If you notice problems like excessive odor
or sewage coming to the

top of the ground contact
a registered service provider or septage hauler to
perform maintenance on
the system. Lists of Registered Service Providers
and Septage Haulers are
also provided at MeigsHealth.com.
Eliminate areas of
standing water to reduce
the numbers of mosquitoes. Store old tires in a
dry location until they
can be disposed of properly. Make sure swimming pools are emptied
or covered if not in use.
Clean the gutters of your
house yearly. It only takes
¼ cup of stagnant water
and less seven days for
mosquitoes to reproduce.
It is the mission of the
health department to
preserve, promote, and
protect the health and
well-being of Meigs County citizens. We appreciate
when property owners do
their part in helping us
with our mission.
Steve Swatzel, RS., is director of
Environmental Health for the Meigs
County Health Department.

Middleport Yard of the Week

some 30 miles of their
own trails.
Zion isn’t the only
U.S. national park with
swelling numbers of
tourists, and at least
two national parks, in
California and Hawaii,
are testing more limited
reservation systems for
parking. Overall, more
than 330 million people
visited U.S. national
parks in 2016, a record.
Visits were bolstered by
the improving economy,
cheap gas and marketing campaigns for the
National Park Service’s
2016 centennial.
Zion is the ﬁfthmost-visited park in the
national park system.
It’s particularly susceptible to overcrowding
because many of its
iconic cliffs and trails
are located in the
narrow, 6-mile-long
(10-kilometer-long)
Zion Canyon. The park
already urges visitors to
take a shuttle between
March and November.
After a series of public meetings, Zion rangers are proposing an
online reservation system, similar to the way
campsites are reserved
now.
