Blessings in a Back Pack local coordinator Julie Howard for the Meigs Local
Blessings in Back Pack program. Also pictured is Meigs County Commissioner
Tim Ihle.

POMEROY — While students at Meigs Primary and
Intermediate Schools receive
free breakfast and lunch each
day at school, it is the time
they are away from school in
which meals can be a challenge.
That is where Meigs Local’s
chapter of the Blessings in a
Backpack program steps in to
help.
Each Thursday, beginning
Sept. 14 for the 2017-18 school
year, volunteers gather at the
elementary school to pack bags
of food to be sent home with
students who are in need or at
risk.

The bags are sent home
with the children each Friday
with the items placed in their
backpacks for the weekend.
In addition, for longer breaks
additional food items are sent
home as the children are home
longer.
Julie Howard, the local
coordinator for the Meigs
Local Blessings in a Backpack
program, said that at the end
of the 2016-17 school year the
program was serving approximately 245 student primarily
in the primary school.
“We don’t turn anyone
away,” said Howard.
Items packaged for the
children include crackers,
soups and other easy to prepare items. At different times

throughout the year perishable
items such as fresh fruits and
vegetables are also sent home.
On average six items are packaged in each bag.
“The idea is to ﬁll the gap
for students to have food for
the weekend,” said Howard.
On Thursday, Jon Buck,
External Affairs Manager with
AEP, presented a $5,000 donation to the Meigs Local Blessings in a Backpack program.
In addition, funding for the
program has been received
from the Meigs County Health
Department and Forest Run
Church, according to the program Facebook page.

Hocking College
offers to be medical
cannabis testing site
Staff Report

NELSONVILLE —
Hocking College has
announced its intention
to fulﬁll Ohio law as the
research facility for the
State of Ohio’s Medical
Cannabis testing laboratory.
“The decision to lead
this medical cannabis
lab effort was not based
on the merits or lack
of merits regarding
cannabis,” stated Dr.
Betty Young, President
of Hocking College in
a news release. “The
state legislators made a
decision on the subject.
Our goal is to partner
with the State of Ohio
to fulﬁll the legislative
mandate contained in
HB 523 that speciﬁcally
requires an Institute of
Higher Education serve
as the lab testing site.”
“In addition to the
legislative mandate,
Hocking College’s role
will be to ensure public
safety by providing
the necessary lab services that will assure
access to a safe medical
product to the citizens
of Ohio,” said Young,
“The research and
academic potential of
serving as the lab testing site will support the
kind of hands on, high
tech training that is the
hallmark of Hocking
College.”

that will include tracks
in medical laboratory
technician, forensics
and chemical laboratory
science.
The College is working with Dr. Jonathan
Cachat to develop the
laboratory science curricula, undergraduate
research, and serve as
the director of the testing lab.
Hocking College will
create an endowment
to provide the funds for
laboratory equipment,
renovation and initial
operations. The lab will
provide more than a
dozen new jobs for the
local community.

Pow Wow in the park
Celebrating traditions, Harvest Moon

GALLIPOLIS —
Tents could be seen
in the Gallipolis City
Park all weekend as the
Native American Education Association held its’
eleventh annual Harvest
Moon Pow Wow.
Held each year on
Labor Day Weekend,
members of many tribes
get together to celebrate
Native American culture
by practicing rituals and
practices that reach back
to their heritage and
then share that with the
public.
Rona Stevens Roach is
one of the event organiz-

ers.
“It’s both educational
for the public, we want
people to come and see.
And it’s a celebration for
the tribe members,” said
Roach.
All three days featured
dancing, drumming, and
singing in the traditional
way. Anyone with the
right clothing, known as
regalia, was welcome to
participate in the arena.
Some dances welcome
public participation. The
candy dance brought
children into the ring
where they danced for
candy. Other dances
displayed the heritage
of the Native American
people; the men’s traditional dance, Jingle

Dress dance, and Grass
Dancing.
“The way it was
explained to me, is that
when a tribe would
move their settlement
to a new place dancers
would go into the new
area and do this dance
to pat down the grass,”
stated the Master of Ceremonies Aaron Stevens.
Several vendors from
across the country were
on hand as well, selling items like bows and
arrows, pelts, pouches,
braided and beaded
items, and peace pipes.
Some vendors also sold
authentic Native American food also.
The weekend also
seeks to honor veterans, as the Veterans of
Foreign Wars post 4464
Honor Guard were pres-

ent as well. Several of
the participating dancers
are veterans. They were
given special honors Saturday afternoon.
The Native American
Education Association
is a local group that
started 11 years ago
to help gain sponsorship for the Harvest
Moon Pow Wow. They
received sponsorship
for the event from several groups including
the Ohio Arts Council
and local businesses.
The group represents
multiple tribes including Arapaho, Shawnee,
Shoshone, Blackfoot,
Cherokee, and others.
Roach assured that the
group will return for its’
12th annual pow wow
next year on Labor Day
Weekend.

Counting down to Rockets Over Rio

OBITUARIES

By Dean Wright

PORTLAND — Dustin
T. Brinager, 30, of Portland, Ohio, passed away
unexpectedly on Sept. 2,
2017, as the result of an
automobile accident.
He was born on April
23, 1987, at CamdenClark Memorial Hospital
in Parkersburg, W.Va.
Dustin was the proud
owner of Dusty Acres
Produce and also worked
underground as a coal
miner being mentored by
his best friend…his dad,
and others, to eventually
become owner of Calico
Coal.
Whether it was farming, hunting, or riding
side by sides, Dustin
loved to be outdoors
appreciating nature. He
loved exploring his land,
watching westerns, and
cheering on the Green
Bay Packers and the
Golden State Warriors.
Most importantly, he
loved spending time with
his son, Garrett, while
having nerf wars, singing songs and throwing
Garrett “to the moon, to
the moon.” He looked forward to doing the same
with his son, Gavin, who
he was blessed seeing
born just days before the
Lord called Dustin home.
Dustin was a generous
friend. He was a loving,
caring brother to Cameron, who predeceased
him just 2 years ago. As
his parents, we could not
have been blessed with
a more loving, respectful and devoted son. We
thank God for choosing
us to be the parents to
both of our sons.
His commitment to
the Lord as a young boy
never wavered throughout his entire life and it
was important to Dustin
that his sons followed
these same footsteps.
Dustin is survived
by his parents, Tye and
Lori Brinager; his ﬁancé,
Samantha Good and newborn baby, Gavin Jason;

RIO GRANDE — Rockets Over
Rio will be blasting off once more
Oct. 14. at the traditional time of
around 9:30 p.m. in celebration of
the event’s 11th year.
According to Rio Grande
Mayor Matt Easter, this will be
the eighth year the event will be
put on using nothing but donation
money. The ﬁrst few years, the
municipality did contribute some
funding. Easter said the ﬁrst show
started on a budget of $3,000 and
has only grown larger ever since.
The next year, a few sponsors
added to the efforts and within
the third year the show was funded solely on donations.
“We’re proud to say this is funded through donations as small as
$20 and going to $2,000,” said
Easter. “It’s always been about
providing a free evening of fun
and entertainment for families.
It’s generally a big weekend with
the Bob Evans Farm Festival, the
Fox Trot for the Lorie Neal Schol-

arship and soccer games.”
All the events are hosted and
organized separately.
Concessions are traditionally
held in support of the Rio Grande
Volunteer Fire Department during the show as Legendary Entertainment sets off the pyrotechnic
display. Fireworks typically start
once all the soccer games on the
Evan Davis Field ﬁnish as the ﬁrework launching tubes are placed
nearby with the permission of the
University of Rio Grande.
“It all began as just a tiny little
idea,” Easter previously said
about last year’s event. “I asked
the village council (about the
ﬁreworks). Towns need ﬁreworks
shows. I’ve always believed that
and it brings people out. We
didn’t want to compete with ﬁreworks around the Fourth of July.
So, seeing as we have so many
guests this time of year and we
have the beautiful location that
the university supplies, (the village decided on a launch date in
October).”
This year’s show will be dedi-

to Easter, as the wife of a village
ﬁreﬁghter, Shaw was a longtime
supporter of village events and
efforts.

DEATH NOTICE

Philadelphia concertmaster to play with OVS
By Dean Wright

deanwright@aimmediamidwest.
com

GALLIPOLIS —
Philadelphia Orchestra’s Concertmaster
and Cairn University’s
Professor of Violin Studies David Kim will be
performing with The
Ohio Valley Orchestra
Sept. 9 at 7:30 p.m. as
the orchestra launches
its 2017-18 season in the
Ariel Opera House.
Kim began playing
violin at the age of three
and studied under Dorothy DeLay before eventually graduating with
both a bachelor’s and
master’s degree from
The Juilliard School. He
started playing with the
Philadelphia Orchestra
in 1999.
“There was a friend
who lives here in Philadelphia named Debra
Lew Harder and her
husband Dr. Tom Harder
grew up in Gallipolis.
His father was a doctor
with a house above the
(Ohio River) and they
are dear friends of ours,”
said Kim. “(Debra) is a
doctor, concert pianist
and a radio personality
here. She arranged for
us to perform together
with The Ohio Valley
Symphony. It was so
wonderful. I enjoyed the
experience. The orchestra itself, I made so
many new friends. The
nature of orchestras, you
often meet people from
far and wide.”

The Philadelphia Orchestra
is considered on
of the “Big Five”
American orchestras and one of the
leading performKim
ing groups in the
world. As concertmaster, Kim is regarded
as somewhat of a second
in command of the
orchestra right behind
the orchestra’s maestro.
This will be Kim’s third
performance with The
Ohio Valley Symphony.
“I thank so many
people for this life
that I lead,” said Kim.
“Concertmaster of the
Philadelphia Orchestra
is the ﬁrst chair violinist with one of the great
orchestras for the last
100 years and it comes
with so many wonderful perks. That includes
incredible international
travel every year, performing on stage at
Carnegie Hall four times
a year, Kennedy Center
once a year, European
tours, Asian tours, South
American tours and
so much of that. Then
when I’m not playing
with the orchestra, I’m
given time off to represent the orchestra and
go to places like Korea,
China, Japan, South
America and Gallipolis
and other places to play
solo concerts. All of
these things are incredible privileges for me.”
Kim plays a pair of
violins ﬁrst crafted in
the 1750s on loan from

the Philadelphia Orchestra.
One of which is
crafted by J.B
Guadagnini,
considered by
violinists to be
one of the best
violin luthiers of
all time.
Kim will be playing
with The Ohio Valley Orchestra as they
embark in a number of
pieces considered tried
and true listening experiences by professional
musicians. The Hebrides
and Violin Concerto,
Op. 64 E Minor, both by
Felix Mendelssohn, will
be featured during the
concert as well as Franz
Schubert’s Symphony
Number Eight.
Kim recommends for
young musicians to be
open to new experiences
as they never know
where their musical
careers may lead them.
“I love playing at the
(Ariel Opera House),”
said Kim. “It’s so intimate. It’s a throwback as
an old vaudeville theater.
The audience is right
there close to you…I
consider it something
special and normally I
may play in halls 10 or
15 times bigger than
that…I love that it’s
always full and the audience and community
really loves and supports
and lifts up this orchestra. I’ve seen orchestras
in much bigger cities
that are bankrupting and
folding and this one is

doing quite well. I give
a lot of credit to (Maestro) Ray Fowler and the
Ariel’s Executive Director Lora Snow.”

740-446-2342, ext. 2103.

24 Republican willing to sign their
names. But suppose that many or
more support the bill, called Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals.
Even so, it could be that House Speaker Paul
Ryan will put intense pressure against Republicans who are tempted to sign the petition. If that
doesn’t work, Ryan could still try to substitute
a watered-down measure to keep control of the
House agenda for himself and his party while
allowing those who want to cast a symbolic vote
for DACA to do so.
Or at least, that’s what speakers have typically
done. Ryan, however, has a pattern of protecting
himself at the expense of his party. So while I am
not making any predictions, I could imagine Ryan
just allowing a discharge petition to succeed.
Ryan could then tell anti-immigration hardliners
that he had done everything possible to stop it,
and that it wasn’t his fault the thing reached the
ﬂoor and passed despite his opposition. And, having passed the House, the measure would then put
pressure on Mitch McConnell and other Republican Senators to move it further.
Would Ryan really sacriﬁce the inﬂuence of the
speaker and the party caucus just to avoid any
blame for a DACA bill passing? We can’t know yet,
but it sure would ﬁt the pattern that he established
on health care.

The future of one man’s tribute to
his own self -importance disguised
as a memorial to the work that made him wealthy,
the Newseum, may be on its way to the history it
celebrates — at times not very well. Located on
Washington’s iconic Pennsylvania Avenue, it occupies some of the most valuable real estate in the
capital city. It also has been a steady loser despite
charging visitors substantially in a sea of some of
the most distinguished museums anywhere, all of
which are free.

the 250,000-square foot white elephant — sell all
or part. None of this is any surprise. Most insiders have been expecting it for some time as every
attempt to turn around the situation has failed,
including efforts to get help from fellow print
institutions.
The Freedom Forum, a lofty handle for what
was the old Gannett Foundation, was the brainchild of the late Al Neuharth, the founder of USA
Today and a black and white presence (he wore
only a combination of the two as a symbol of his
product) that seemed at times insatiable in its
need for self -aggrandizement. When he stepped
down as Gannett’s CEO, he forced the company to
buy back its company stock held by the foundation
to support the Forum.
The ﬁrst museum was across the Potomac River
in Arlington, a well-done much tighter operation.
But it didn’t match Neuharth’s image of himself
so the Pennsylvania property became the Forum’s
focus. After expensive delays, the new Newseum

It was a study of modern but muted extravagance and quickly became a center of news- centered activities and a Wolfgang Puck restaurant to

THEIR VIEW

Lessons from Sandy can help Houston victims
The following editorial
was released by Newsday:
Floodwaters ﬁnally
are receding in and near
Houston, and some semblance of normalcy is
returning to some parts
of Texas battered by Hurricane Harvey — even
as the monster storm
moves on to Louisiana
and other states.
Now Texas is learning
what Long Islanders discovered nearly ﬁve years
ago after superstorm
Sandy ripped through
the region: The storm
is gone, but there is no
end to the heartache and
headaches.
The death toll in Texas
has topped 30, and with
some people still missing
that count is expected to
rise. Tens of thousands
of structures have been
damaged or destroyed,

many of them uninsured,
and there seems to be no
end to the homeless population. Residents will be
plagued by mold and mildew, and by mosquitoes
carrying diseases.
Then there is the water
that remains — a fetid
stew laced with waste,
debris and toxic chemicals, spawning fears of
infectious diseases like
cholera. The city’s gigantic petroleum complex
released more than 2
million pounds of hazardous substances into the
air. Private wells used by
hundreds of thousands
of Texans also are at risk
for contamination.
The ﬁnancial toll at
this moment is incalculable. But on Long Island,
we know what awaits
— the long, arduous and
often frustrating task of
recovery. We hope every-

one involved in helping
Texans get back on their
feet learns from what
happened after Sandy.
Congress must make
sure disaster aid is readily available, as it was to
our region. The Federal
Emergency Management
Agency must operate
more effectively than it
did after Sandy, when
it took too long to get
recovery money to too
many people, and when
fraudulently altered engineering reports led to
lower payments or denials of claims.
No one should think
this process will go
quickly, least of all President Donald Trump, who
is scheduled to return
to Texas tomorrow and
who seems eager to
claim success on behalf
of his administration.
That evaluation won’t

be made for months, or
years.
On Long Island, we’re
still rebuilding and fortifying in some places,
some victims still are not
back in their homes, and
some remediation has yet
to begin. We’ve learned
that we have not always
built wisely, and that we
increased our vulnerability. Houston is beginning
to realize that, too.
Long Islanders understand the sense of susceptibility now felt by
Texans. It’s up to each
of us here to offer them
some measure of support, like that which was
extended to us in our
darkest hours. It will be a
long road back for Texas.
Let’s do what we can to
shorten the journey.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Wednesday,
Sept. 6, the 249th day of
2017. There are 116 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On September 6,
1901, President William
McKinley was shot and
mortally wounded by
anarchist Leon Czolgosz
(CHAWL’-gawsh) at the
Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New
York. (McKinley died
eight days later; Czolgosz was executed on
October 29.)
On this date:
In 1861, Union forces
led by Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant occupied Paducah,
Kentucky, during the
Civil War.
In 1916, the ﬁrst selfserve grocery store, Piggly Wiggly, was opened
in Memphis, Tennessee,
by Clarence Saunders.
In 1925, the silent
ﬁlm horror classic “The
Phantom of the Opera,”
starring Lon Chaney, had
its world premiere at the
Astor Theater in New
York.
In 1939, the Union of
South Africa declared
war on Germany.
In 1943, 79 people
were killed when a New
York-bound Pennsylvania
Railroad train derailed
and crashed in Philadelphia.
In 1954, groundbreaking took place for the
Shippingport Atomic

Power Station in western
Pennsylvania.
In 1966, birth control advocate Margaret
Sanger died in Tucson,
Arizona, at age 86, eight
days before her birthday.
South African Prime
Minister Hendrik Verwoerd (fehr-FOORT’)
was stabbed to death by
an apparently deranged
page during a parliamentary session in Cape
Town.
In 1970, Palestinian
guerrillas seized control
of three U.S.-bound
jetliners. (Two were
later blown up on the
ground in Jordan, along
with a London-bound
plane hijacked on Sept.
9; the fourth plane was
destroyed on the ground
in Egypt. No hostages
were harmed.)
In 1975, 18-year-old
tennis star Martina
Navratilova of Czechoslovakia, in New York for
the U.S. Open, requested
political asylum in the
United States.
In 1985, all 31 people
aboard a Midwest
Express Airlines DC-9
were killed when the
Atlanta-bound jetliner
crashed just after takeoff
from Milwaukee’s Mitchell Field.
In 1997, a public funeral was held for Princess
Diana at Westminster
Abbey in London, six
days after her death in a
car crash in Paris.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“We live in a fantasy world, a world of
illusion. The great task in life is to find
reality.”
— Iris Murdoch
Anglo-Irish author and philosopher (1919-1999)

In 2002, meeting outside Washington, D.C.
for only the second time
since 1800, Congress
convened in New York
to pay homage to the
victims and heroes of
September 11.
Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and
Chinese President Hu
Jintao (hoo jin-tow), in
Sydney, Australia, for an
Asia-Paciﬁc Economic
Cooperation summit,
called for greater international cooperation in
tackling climate change
without stiﬂing economic growth. Death
claimed opera superstar
Luciano Pavarotti in
Modena, Italy, at age 71
and author Madeleine
L’Engle (“A Wrinkle in
Time”) in Litchﬁeld,
Connecticut, at age 88.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama
conceded only halting
progress toward solving
the nation’s economic
woes, but vowed in a
Democratic National
Convention ﬁnale, “Our
problems can be solved,
our challenges can be
met.” Drew Peterson, the

former Illinois police ofﬁcer who gained notoriety
after his much-younger
wife, Stacy, vanished in
2007, was convicted of
murdering a previous
wife, Kathleen Savio.
(Peterson was later
sentenced to 38 years in
prison.) Rihanna won
video of the year at the
MTV Awards for “We
Found Love.” One Direction won best pop video,
best new artist and most
share-worthy video for
“What Makes You Beautiful.”
One year ago: On
the campaign trail,
Democrat Hillary Clinton accused Republican
Donald Trump of insulting America’s veterans
and pressing dangerous
military plans, while
Trump declared “our
country is going to hell”
because of policies he
said Clinton would make
even worse. Hospital ofﬁcials in northern France
announced the death the
previous April of Isabelle
Dinoire, a Frenchwoman
who received the world’s
ﬁrst partial face transplant; she was 49.

Marshall redshirt junior Keion Davis (24) looks back at the Miami (OH) defense
during his first of two kickoff returns Saturday in a 31-26 season opening victory
at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. —
Special teams ultimately made
for a special opener.
Keion Davis set a school
record with two kickoff
returns for touchdowns, ﬁrsttime placekicker Kaare Vedvik
was perfect on all ﬁve of his
boots and Marshall held off
visiting Miami (OH) for a
thrilling 31-26 victory in the
2017 season opener for both
programs Saturday night at
Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
The Thundering Herd (1-0)
received a touchdown apiece

from their offensive and defensive units, but 19 of the hosts’
31 points came from Davis and
Vedvik. It also didn’t take long
for either of them to get to
their stellar evenings started.
Davis received the opening
kickoff at the one, then went
untouched for 99 yards along
the Herd sideline for a quick
score. Vedvik tacked on the
extra point for a 7-0 Marshall
lead just 12 seconds into regulation.
The RedHawks (0-1) followed with a 15-play, 66-yard
drive that resulted in points
following a 27-yard ﬁeld goal
from Sam Sloman, making it a

7-3 contest with 8:34 remaining in the ﬁrst.
Both teams followed by trading possessions, but the Red
and White picked up a Herd
fumble late in the ﬁrst and
returned it to the Marshall
three.
It took Miami four plays
and a change of quarters, but
Gus Ragland plunged in from
a yard out on 4th-and-goal to
give Miami its only lead of
the night at 10-7 with 13:57
remaining in the half.
Marshall countered with

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Registration is currently underway for the Rio Fall Basketball Academy, which will run on Sundays throughout most
of September and into the early part of October at
the Newt Oliver Arena.
The league features two divisions — a senior
division (10-foot goals) for sixth, seventh and
eighth grade students and a junior division (9-foot
goals) for third, fourth and ﬁfth grade students —
for both boys and girls. The league will also offer
instruction in team concepts and fundamentals
in a controlled game atmosphere. Each team will
receive coaching instruction from the University
of Rio Grande men’s and women’s basketball players.
“We’ve developed the academy over the past
few years as a way to promote the game of basketball,” said URG men’s basketball head coach Ken
French. “It’s an hour of instruction and an hour of
5-on-5 game play. Our staff sets up the day, almost
like a regular practice day or a camp day, and we
try to teach them some things. The object is to
not only improve, but for the kids to work on ﬁnetuning their fundamentals in the fall before the
new season rolls around.”
The session for boys will run Sept. 10 and 17,
and Oct. 1 and 8, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The girls
session is set for Sept. 10, 17 and 24 - as well as
Oct. 1- from 4 until 6 p.m.
Cost is $75 per player, which can paid in
advance or on the ﬁrst Sunday of the academy.
Space is very limited and participants are
encouraged to register in advance.
“The academy has been a great success for us in
a ton of ways,” said Rio women’s basketball head

“Number one, we create
such a great relationship with the young girls
who attend. We’ll have
a handful of them come
to our games and sit on
the bench with us as an
honorary coach, which
is a great way to have
fellowship and develop
friendships. Plus, I think
it’s great way for both the

Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell returns to work
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— Le’Veon Bell insists
it was just business. All
of it.
The eight-month sabbatical from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Instagram posts
highlighting his workouts while he was away.
His refusal to sign his
franchise tag until less
than a week before the
2017 season opener.
Nothing personal. Bell
just didn’t see the point
in showing up for training camp and risking an
injury that could jeopardize both his team’s
championship aspirations and his own longterm ﬁscal future. So the
Pro Bowl running back
waited until Monday to
put pen to paper.
“I didn’t want to get
hurt in camp,” Bell said
shortly after completing
his ﬁrst practice with his
teammates since January. “My rookie year I
remember getting hurt
in camp, so I didn’t even
want to deal with it. I
wanted to get here, get
ready for Game 1, get
ready for games that
count.”
A couple of squiggles
and Bell ofﬁcially
became the highest-paid
running back in the
NFL, though the oneyear, $12.1-million contract he signed wasn’t
the more lucrative long-

term one he was seeking.
Bell declined to get into
speciﬁcs why he and the
Steelers were unable to
reach an agreement, and
isn’t sure where a report
that indicated he nixed a
new contract came from.
“It was in a private
room, I just want to
leave it at that,” Bell
said. “I don’t want to
talk contract situation. I
just want to keep it moving.”
So do the rest of the
Steelers. Bell kept in
contact with Pittsburgh’s
offensive linemen during
his “stay out” and center Maurkice Pouncey
couldn’t contain his glee
at seeing Bell’s familiar
No. 26 in the huddle.
“Happy as hell,”
Pouncey said. “He
looked like he was in
shape. He looked like he
didn’t miss a beat at all.”
That was kind of the
point for Bell, who tried
his best to mimic the
conditioning program
he uses during a typical
training camp. While
allowing it may take a
practice or two to get
truly into football shape,
Bell ﬁgures he took his
normal allotment of
snaps with the starters. He’s hoping to play
when Pittsburgh travels
to Cleveland on Sunday.
The only real question
will be the workload.
Asked if he expected

Bell to be limited against
the Browns, Pouncey
laughed and said, “I
hope not.”
Neither does Bell.
While his protracted
absence proved problematic — he drew the ire
of some fans on social
media during his time
away — he also understands what’s at stake.
He’s only played a full
16-game schedule once
in his four seasons, with
the other three shortened by injury, suspension or both.
When he’s on the
ﬁeld, Bell is one of the
most unique talents in
the NFL. He averaged a
league-leading 157 yards
of total offense in 2016,
with the Steelers relying
heavily on him during
a nine-game winning
streak that took them
from 4-5 to the AFC
championship game. A
groin injury rendered
him a spectator for most
of a lopsided loss at New
England, leading to offseason surgery to ﬁx the
problem.
“I’ve got to go out
there, stay on the ﬁeld,
prove that I’m healthy,
and the rest will take
care of itself,” Bell said.
Though the 25-yearold downplayed the
idea he’s trying to reset
the market for running
backs, he laughed when
asked about a freestyle

rap he posted on social
media last week that
seemed to hint he wanted $17 million a season
because “26 is savage.”
“That was me freestyling off my head, ﬁrst
number (I thought of),”
Bell said. “I felt like it
rhymed better, so I kept
going.”
Pouncey declared at
the start of camp he
would sacriﬁce a year
off his own $44-million
deal to make sure Bell is
taken care of for the long
haul, an offer Pouncey
only half-jokingly said
still stands.
“We’re cool with him,”
Pouncey said. “We
understand the other
side of this too now. The
media and the fans want
him here, but at the end
of the day, it’s a business.
We know both sides of
the game.”
Bell plans on spending this week catching
up on the new wrinkles

or respect or the future.

them Friday if we played

the game. Obviously, we
did.”
The hosts claimed
a 209-11 advantage in

due in large part to
both Davis TD returns.
Vedvik, however, booted
ﬁve of his six kickoffs

touchbacks and also had
an average of 49 yards
on four punts — half of
which ended up inside

Davis became the
ﬁrst player in Marshall
history — and the
20th different player in

history — to score on
two kickoff returns in

also the third career

have been 97 yards or

who is now 54-37 a

that it was the Herd’s
fourth straight victory
over the RedHawks.
“It’s huge, number one
who it was. We all know,
Miami has been a great
rivalry around here.
Anytime you can beat
them, it’s a great feeling,” Holliday said. “We
knew going in they had
18 or 19 starters back

and they are an excellent
football team. I knew
going in that we had to
play extremely well to
win that game. At the
end of the day, we found
a way to win it.”

Willie Johnson led the

Brandon Drayton led
the Herd with 12 tackles, while Chase Hancock and Marquis Couch
each recorded a sack
and at least one tackle
for loss. Jackson had a

recovered a fumble and
advanced it 12 yards.
Alonzo Smith led
Miami with 59 rushing
yards on 13 carries. Ragland ﬁnished the game
23-of-44 for 298 yards,

Brazil, France allege Rio Olympics vote-buying scheme
RIO DE JANEIRO
(AP) — Brazilian and
French authorities said
Tuesday they uncovered
an international corruption scheme aimed at
buying votes in awarding
the 2016 Olympics. This
is the latest allegation to
sully the legacy of the Rio
Games, the ﬁrst Olympics
in South America.
The disclosures came
as police in Rio de Janeiro raided the home of
Brazilian Olympic Committee President Carlos
Nuzman. They emerged
with suitcases, documents and a computer.
Police said detention warrants had been issued for
Nuzman and an associate, businessman Arthur
Cesar de Menezes Soares
Filho, who authorities
believe to be in Miami.
Nuzman left his house
accompanied by his lawyer and later appeared at
a police station for ques-

tioning. Lawyer Sergio
Mazzillo said his client
would cooperate but “did
not commit any irregularity.”
“Unfortunately, this
has created a media spectacle,” Mazzillo said.
In total, 11 detention
warrants were issued for
people in both Brazil and
France in what police
dubbed “Operation Unfair
Play.”
At a news conference,
investigators said Nuzman, an honorary member of the International
Olympic Committee, was
a central player in buying
votes for Rio’s Olympic
bid in 2009.
Nuzman brought
together Soares Filho and
Lamine Diack, the former
head of track and ﬁeld’s
governing body who at
the time was an IOC voting member, according to
authorities. Soares Filho’s
company, Matlock Capital

Group, allegedly paid
Diack $2 million through
accounts in the Caribbean.
Construction and
concession companies
that stood to gain were
behind the push to bring
the games to Rio by any
means necessary, prosecutor Fabiana Schneider
said. She said Sergio
Cabral, the former governor of Rio de Janeiro who
has been jailed on a different corruption conviction,
was also a key player.
“The Olympic Games
were used as a big trampoline for acts of corruption,” Schneider said.
The IOC said it had
“learned about these
circumstances from the
media and is making
every effort to get the full
information.”
The 75-year-old Nuzman was an IOC member
for 12 years and one
of the most prominent

ﬁgures in bringing the
games to Rio. He is part
of the 2020 Tokyo Games
coordination commission,
which advises organizers
in running the event.
Chicago, Madrid,
Tokyo and Rio were
candidates for the 2016
Olympics. The vote was
held in 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, with Rio
defeating Madrid 66-32.
Chicago, seen as having
the best bid and most
ready-to-go facilities, was
eliminated in the ﬁrst
round of voting.
“This is quite damaging” to the IOC, said
Andrew Zimbalist, an
economist who recently
wrote a book on fallout
from the Rio Olympics.
“The IOC tried to say
goodbye to Rio in August
2016, but the issues arising from the $20 billion
plus extravaganza won’t
go away.”
Soon after the Rio

Games, IOC President
Thomas Bach awarded
Nuzman the “Olympic
Order,” given to those
who have made extraordinary contributions to the
Olympics.
In France, a 2-year-old
investigation into corruption in sports ﬁrst came
to light with the arrest
in November 2015 of
Diack. The French have
been looking into allegations that Diack, one of
his sons, Papa Massata
Diack, and others were
involved in blackmailing
athletes and covering-up
failed drug tests.
The French Financial
Prosecutors’ Ofﬁce,
which has been leading
the inquiries, said Tuesday its investigations
have “uncovered the
existence of a system of
large-scale corruption
organized around Papa
Massata Diack.” It also
said its evidence indicates

votes by members of the
IOC and the ruling track
body were “negotiated
against payment to obtain
city hosting rights for
the biggest global sports
competitions.”
Since the Rio Games
ended a year ago there
has been a steady stream
of accusations surrounding the awarding of building projects.
Former Rio de Janeiro
Mayor Eduardo Paes is
being investigated for
allegedly accepting at
least 15 million reals ($5
million) in payments
to facilitate construction projects tied to the
games.
Paes, who has denied
wrongdoing, is one of
dozens of top politicians
implicated in a sweeping
judicial corruption investigation in which construction giant Odebrecht
illegally paid billions to
help win contracts.

MIAMI (AP) — Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman
are holding meetings Tuesday and Wednesday at
Marlins Park to ease the transition in their investment
group’s pending purchase of the Miami Marlins, a person familiar with the discussions said.
The person conﬁrmed the meetings to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because those
involved have not commented.
The person said Marlins President David Samson
is not involved in the meetings. He has been with the
Marlins since 2002 and not expected to be retained.
The meetings will involve heads of departments ranging from baseball operations to marketing and sales.
A signed $1.2 billion agreement was submitted to
Major League Baseball last month to sell the Marlins
to a group led by Sherman, a venture capitalist who
will be the controlling owner. Jeter, a 14-time All-Star
shortstop for the New York Yankees, plans to be a limited partner in charge of baseball operations.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Hendrick Motorsports’ four drivers have committed $200,000 to beneﬁt Hurricane Harvey victims, and the drivers hope
to raise a total of $500,000.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne
and Chase Elliott launched a disaster relief fund
Monday that is accepting tax-deductible donations
until Sept. 20. The fund can be found at HendrickRelief.org , and donations will go to Hurricane Harvey
Relief Fund, which is housed at the Greater Houston
Community Foundation, and other qualiﬁed charities.
Seven-time NASCAR champion Johnson is hosting
the disaster relief fund at the Jimmie Johnson Foundation. He called the devastation done by Harvey
“incomprehensible” and called on NASCAR fans to
help with the recovery.
“NASCAR fans are some of the most generous and
giving people on earth,” Johnson said.

Major league owners are expected to decide this
month whether to approve the deal. At least 75 percent of the clubs must agree to the sale by Jeffrey
Loria, who has owned the team since 2002.
Closing would take place next month, shortly after
the end of the regular season.

Coach Marvin Lewis in spotlight as Bengals go younger
CINCINNATI (AP)
— Marvin Lewis has
been with his team longer than any other NFL
head coach besides Bill
Belichick at New England.
For the first time in
years, his tenure is at
risk.
Lewis is finishing his
contract as he enters his
15th season with the
Bengals. Cincinnati has
been through two painful seasons, following a
home playoff meltdown
against Pittsburgh in
2015 and a 6-9-1 finish
last season. Lewis failed
to get a contract extension in the offseason.
He readily acknowledges he would have
been replaced already
by any owner other than
Mike Brown, who values
loyalty. Lewis is 0-7 in
the playoffs, an NFL
record for futility. His
team had five straight
first-round playoff loss-

es, another record.
“In coaching, I’ve
been fortunate in my 37
years,” said Lewis, who
also has been an assistant in Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington.
“I’ve had very few jobs,
where unfortunately a
lot of coaches had to
move.”
If he wants to stay
beyond 2017, Lewis will
have to do one of his
best coaching jobs. The
Bengals got a lot younger in the offseason, and
they’re dealing with suspensions for cornerback
Adam “Pacman” Jones
and linebacker Vontaze
Burfict at the outset.
After making the playoffs five straight seasons
from 2011-15, they fell
back last season. Receiver A.J. Green, running
back Giovani Bernard
and tight end Tyler Eifert missed significant
playing time but are
fully recovered.

FSU drops, Clemson
rises in AP poll
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

Florida State slipped
all the way to the No.
10 in The Associated
Press college football
poll after losing to
Alabama and losing
quarterback Deondre
Francois to a seasonending injury.
The Crimson Tide
is No. 1 again, securing 60 of 61 ﬁrst-place
votes in the ﬁrst Top 25
of the regular season.
Ohio State remained
No. 2 in the media poll
and received the other
ﬁrst-place vote. Defending champion Clemson
moved up to No. 3 on
Tuesday. Penn State is
No. 4 and Oklahoma
moved up to No. 5,
meaning for the second
straight week there will
be a top-ﬁve matchup.
The Sooners play at
Ohio State on Saturday.
Florida State was No.
3 in the preseason poll
and lost an openingweek showdown with
Alabama, 24-7. Francois
went down with a knee
injury late in the game.
The Seminoles will

man to start. Florida
State hosts LouisianaMonroe this week, but
the stiffer tests are
coming soon. No. 16
Miami visits Tallahassee on Sept. 16.
Many AP voters
said that Florida State
they would not have
dropped as far on their
ballots had Francois not
been injured. ESPN’s
Rece Davis said he
would have had the
Seminoles no lower
than No. 3 without the
injury to Francois.
“I have them at a
shaky seven now solely
because their defense is
ﬁlthy,” Davis said.
Pat Dooley of the
Gainesville Sun said he
would have likely had
dropped Florida State
to ﬁfth or sixth this
week without the Francois injury. Instead,
Dooley has the ‘Noles
ninth.
“That’s a different
team without him,” he
said.
Jason Galloway of
the Wisconsin State
Journal dropped Florida State four spots to
seventh on his ballot
this week and said the
Francois injury was not
a factor.
“I’ll allow FSU’s play
on the ﬁeld to drop
them rather than simply assuming they’ll be
worse without him,”
he said.

This is a pivotal season in Cincinnati, where
the Bengals will find
out if last season was an
anomaly or the start of a
downward trend.
“I wouldn’t say the
window has closed,”
quarterback Andy Dalton said.
Some things to watch
this season:
Burfict, Burfict, Burfict
The Bengals have
steadfastly defended
their volatile linebacker,
whose history of egregious hits — most notably the one on Antonio
Brown’s head that led
to the playoff meltdown
against Pittsburgh — has
become a focus for the
league. He’s suspended
for the ﬁrst three games
after leveling a Chiefs
running back during a
preseason game.
Burﬁct is their most
irreplaceable defensive
player, and also their

most mercurial. He’s
drawn fewer ﬁnes and
penalties than earlier in
his career, but his unpredictability remains a
concern. He set off a
scrum during a practice
in training camp when he
tackled Bernard during a
non-contact drill.

with viable options after
players got hurt.
“The results didn’t
unfold as I anticipated,
but the process of how
the weeks work and
the duties and all those
things happened exactly
how I thought it would,”
Zampese said.

Zampese’s second chance
While Lewis gets
attention for his contract
situation, offensive coordinator Ken Zampese
is in the spotlight as
well. He was elevated
to the position last season when Hue Jackson
became the Browns’
head coach, and the
offense struggled in its
new incarnation.
Jackson was known
for his flair and creativity; Zampese took a
more straightforward
approach. The running
game never got into a
rhythm, and Zampese
wasn’t able to come up

Thouse young tackles
Cedric Obguehi has
one career start at left
tackle, where he’ll ﬁll in
for Andrew Whitworth.
Jake Fisher has three
career starts at right
tackle. Whether they
can hold their own is the
main question on offense.
Ogbuehi got the job at
right tackle last season,
but played so poorly that
he wound up benched
and later moved to the
left side, his more accustomed spot. Dalton was
sacked 41 times last season, twice as often as in
either of the two previous
seasons.

Extra motivation
Many Bengals went
through their ﬁrst losing season in Cincinnati,
learning what it’s like to
be playing out a season
in December. It wasn’t
fun.
“The weeks go a lot
faster when you’re winning, the city is better
when you’re winning,
and there’s not a lot of
nitpicking,” Jones said.

Jackson insists Browns focused on winning
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Browns coach Hue Jackson has four quarterbacks,
including a rookie starter,
and not one has an NFL
win on his resume.
He’s got only four
cornerbacks, a new wide
receiver with blazing
speed but brittle hands,
and a locker room still
reeling after two popular
players got cut last week.
On top of that, the rival
Pittsburgh Steelers are
coming to town for the
opener.
Problems, for sure.
But after enduring
a 1-15 ﬁrst season in
Cleveland, Jackson isn’t
ﬂustered or fearful. Just
focused.
“This is where we are,”
he said Monday, following
another tumultuous week
for the Browns. “This is
the situation we are in,
and I think we are moving
forward. I think things
have gotten better, I really
do.”
Jackson understands
the outside perception
of his team isn’t positive.
After all, last week alone
the Browns jettisoned two
ﬁrst-round draft picks in

cornerback Joe Haden
and offensive lineman
Cam Erving, released
veteran guard John Greco,
kicker Cody Parkey and
acquired ﬂeet-footed
but fumble-ﬁngers wide
receiver Sammie Coates
from the Steelers.
Also, the team threw
away quarterback Brock
Osweiler, who will still
be paid the majority of
his $16 million contract
despite re-signing with
Denver.
It was the latest tumult
for a Browns organization
going through the pains
of a stripped-to-the-studs
rebuilding project that
has no completion date in
sight.
Jackson knows there
are those doubting the
team’s plan, wondering
why the Browns would so
easily part with Haden,
a two-time Pro Bowler
who was hurt most of
last season. Or why the
team would only carry
four cornerbacks. Or why
Cleveland would sign
QB Josh Woodrum, who
has already been with
the Ravens, Bills, Giants,
Colts and Bears after

going undrafted in 2016.
The plethora of moves
gives the appearance that
Cleveland’s front ofﬁce is
more focused on developing than winning.
Jackson disagrees.
“Honestly, this is always
about winning,” he said.
“I don’t know any other
way to do it. I think our
players see it that way,
too. We come out here
every day and go into
these meetings with one
thing in mind: let’s win
and let’s ﬁnd a way to
win. That is not going
to change. I understand
where you are coming
from and what it looks
like, but I think every day
everything we do is built
toward winning. There is
no other way you can do
this.”
And while Jackson may
have healthy disagreements with vice president
of football operations
Sashi Brown on some
things, he doesn’t doubt
the team’s top decision
maker and his staff isn’t
trying to win.
“I don’t think that they
have any other agenda,”
Jackson said. “I know

sometimes when you look
at transactions and all
those things, but I think
there is a plan and a purpose to what we are doing
and I think we are getting
there.”
The Browns went 4-0 in
the exhibition season, a
perfect run that prompted
a local clothing company
to make “Undefeated Preseason Champs” T-shirts.
But following last
week’s win at Chicago,
Jackson said he felt
“something special” was
building with his team.
He got more speciﬁc
about his feelings, saying
the Browns have a better,
stronger roster with “a
defense that has a chance
to be really good.”
Also, Jackson singled
out “promising” quarterback DeShone Kizer, who
will make his ﬁrst start
Sunday against Cleveland’s ﬁercest rival.
“If we can keep growing
him and getting better
and keep surrounding him
with more tools and more
guys that will give him
opportunities, I think that
is what it is all about,”
Jackson said.

Meyer: Weber, Dobbins to play against Oklahoma
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio State running back Mike Weber
will play against Oklahoma, sharing time with
dynamic true freshman

J.K. Dobbins.
Weber rushed for over
1,000 yards as a redshirt
freshman last season but
was hampered by a hamstring injury throughout
preseason camp. Still not
100 percent last Thursday, he sat out as Dobbins
rambled for 181 yards
on 29 carries, showing
instincts and judgment
beyond his years in a
49-21 win over Indiana.
Coach Urban Meyer
said Monday that Weber
will play, but he hasn’t yet
decided how the rotation
will work in Saturday’s
game.
“Mike had a good practice,” Meyer said. “He
went full speed today.”
Now that Weber is
healthy, Meyer has a
pleasant conundrum on
his hands. Weber earned
the starting role, but how
does Meyer keep Dobbins
on the bench at all?
Center Billy Price said

the backs bring different
styles to the game and
using both just makes the
Buckeyes’ offense more
diverse and harder to
solve.
“I think those two
complement each other
very well, having that
1-2 punch,” Price said.
“It just adds a little more
depth to the running-back
room and another threat
that defenses have to be
aware of.”
Price described Dobbins as “one of those guys
who can get into those
crevices and be able to
ﬂip things and roll. Mike
is that bruiser, he’s that
guy who can really get
in there and if he needs
a couple extra yards on
maybe third-and-2, run it
up the middle.”

Young defensive line, too
The Bengals have let
go of tackle Domata Peko
and ends Wallace Gilberry and Margus Hunt, giving their young linemen
openings to move into
bigger roles. In the past
two years, they’ve drafted
tackles Andrew Billings
and Ryan Glasgow and
end Jordan Willis.
“There’s going to be
a step up and an uptick
here on Sunday, but I
think they’re ready for
it,” Lewis said.

a new focus on the deep
passing game and quarterback J.T. Barrett’s
accuracy, with Meyer
saying both would have
to be better.
Meyer said he was satisﬁed with the progress
of Barrett, who threw
for 304 yards and three
touchdowns and rushed
for 61 yards and another
score against Indiana.
But Barrett was 0
for 3 on long passing
attempts, with one
perfectly placed throw
ﬂuttering through the
ﬁngers of Parris Campbell in the end zone. The
receptions that were
big gainers were of the
catch-and-run variety.
The Buckeyes’ passing
game didn’t get on track
until the second half.
Meyer found himself
again defending against
criticisms of Barrett’s
accuracy.
“The accuracy of a
quarterback has to do
with the timing and
relationship he has with
the receivers,” Meyer
said. “If he’s expecting
to come back to me and
the receiver goes there,
it looks like the quarterback’s fault. And that’s
what happened. We’ve
had some accuracy
issues with J.T., but also
the receivers. He’s much
better now.”
