Playing BG brings back memories for Meyer

wnewsj.com

COLUMBUS – Fifteen years ago, Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer was in the same position as Bowling Green coach Mike Jinks, who will lead the Falcons into Ohio Stadium on Saturday. In 2001, like Jinks, Meyer was in his first season as BGSU’s football coach. He’d never been a college head coach before. And for his first game, he had to play a school from one of college football’s elite conferences. The 2001 Bowling Green team opened its season at Missouri and came away with a 20-13 win. Playing against the school where he got his start as a head coach took Meyer down memory lane during his first weekly press conference of this season on Monday. “We had, I think, 50 some players make the travel team. We were allowed to take 70. We didn’t have 70 players,” Meyer said about his opener at Bowling Green. “We sat there on the plane in Columbia, Mo., and I looked at (his wife) Shelley and said, ‘What if we lose every game we play?’ She said, ‘I bet you win tomorrow.’ I looked at her and I said, ‘We have no chance of winning this game tomorrow.’ ‘But something happened in the middle of the night. I remember waking up and our staff and our players thought they’d win it, and they did,” Meyer said. Meyer was 17-6 in two seasons at Bowling Green before being hired at Utah. The Falcons have won 28 games over the last three seasons and were 10-4 last season, including wins at Maryland and at Purdue. They have 12 starters back from that team, not including quarterback James Knapke, who threw for 3,173 yards as the starter two years ago. But Bowling Green’s program was not in such a good place when Meyer arrived. The Falcons were coming off a 2-9 season and had gone 5-6 and 5-6 the two years before that. One of Meyer’s first moves was to institute stringent workouts that led to 20 or more players leaving the program. He remembered how some of the players were dressed for the first of those workouts. “So I walk in the first workout, they’re in Budweiser T-shirts, stuff like that. Obviously that’s not going to make it real well with us. So I started going berserk like I do. We didn’t have the money to have the workout gear. Everybody’s wearing different colored shoes,” he said. Those who stayed went 8-3 in 2001 and 9-3 in 2002. And Meyer’s career was launched. NOTEBOOK GIBSON SUSPENDED: Ohio State redshirt freshman wide receiver Torrance Gibson has been suspended from school for the fall semester for what was called a violation of the university’s code of conduct. Meyer said the suspension was not an athletic department or football decision. “I disagree with it,” he said. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said he hopes Gibson, who started his OSU career as a quarterback, can return. “I hope the best for Torrance,” he said. “He is an awesome young man, we love him, he’s worked hard here and I hope everything works out where he can someday be a Buckeye again and play for us.” NEW KICKER (AGAIN): Tyler Durbin, a senior walk-on who has never kicked in a college game, will be Ohio State’s kicker on Saturday because No. 1 kicker Sean Nuernberger has a groin injury. Durbin played two years of soccer at James Madison University before walking on as OSU last year. Meyer called Durbin “a tremendous talent” and said he kicked a 62-yard field goal during training camp. He did not seem too familiar with Durbin, though, saying, “Tyler Durbin. That’s his name, right? Tyler Durbin?” to football sports information director Jerry Emig at one point during his discussion of the Buckeyes’ kicking game. MORE ON INJURIES: Tight end Marcus Baugh and linebacker Jerome Baker have been “dinged up,” Meyer said, but were expected to return to practice on Monday. URBAN OPTIMISTIC ON TEBOW: Meyer’s former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has a workout scheduled for major league scouts today in Los Angeles, which he hopes will lead to a chance to play professional baseball. Scouts contacted by the Las Vegas Journal Review were not optimistic about his chances, but Meyer disagreed. “No shot,” one scout said. Another’s assessment was, “If his swing was any longer it would take out the first row.” Meyer called Tebow “an incredible baseball player.” “I kind of knew a while back. We chatted. He visited here. This actually has been in the works. He’s been thinking about it for a while. This didn’t just happen overnight. “I’m very biased and everyone knows that. But don’t count him out,” Meyer said. The last time Tebow played baseball was as a junior in high school in 2005. He hit .494 and was an All-Florida selection. Urban Meyer, OSU head coach, is hoping history does not repeat itself for a first-year Bowling Green State University head football coach when the Buckeyes open the season against the Falcons at Noon Saturday at Ohio Stadium. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_osu.meyer_.jpg Urban Meyer, OSU head coach, is hoping history does not repeat itself for a first-year Bowling Green State University head football coach when the Buckeyes open the season against the Falcons at Noon Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

EC teaching a positive message

wnewsj.com

I am hoping this will be passed along and published for the whole Clinton County community to read. It is very important in a world of negative news all the time to give credit when it is due to someone who is doing positive things for our communities around us. Although I grew up in the early ’80s, our sports motto was “It takes a little more to be a champion.” Hats off and pats on the back to you, Mr. Magee, and all the East Clinton school staff for teaching your young adults that being a champion is not all about what happens on the playing field, but the most important thing is how we conduct ourselves at all times. It brings to thought a team I remember which went 0-30 before winning a game, but I never once saw their players act in a negative way one time. It had to be frustrating, I know, but that had to be because they were encouraged and were led well. Congratulations and thank you East Clinton athletes, student body and staff for taking a leadership role in our community. Good luck and go Astros! Wayne Reel Blanchester

His Cup runneth over: Love has many choices for Ryder squad

wnewsj.com

NEW YORK — Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III has four weeks to find four players to fill out his U.S. team, and there won’t be a lack of information. And to hear him Monday morning, there won’t be a lack of players. “Anybody in the top 100 has to be our radar because a guy could get hot the next two weeks and move himself to the Tour Championship and be in the running for the FedEx Cup,” Love said. “And I get to pick him on Sunday night.” The Barclays ended U.S. qualifying for the eight automatic spots, and while there was a flutter of excitement from Rickie Fowler, there was no change among the top eight when Fowler collapsed over the final four holes. Zach Johnson wound up getting the final spot, joined by Brandt Snedeker, Brooks Koepka, PGA champion Jimmy Walker, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth and U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson. Europe’s nine automatic qualifiers were set one week earlier. Now comes the hard part for Love and European captain Darren Clarke. Clarke makes his three choices Tuesday. On a team that already features five Ryder Cup rookies, he is looking hard at experience and appears set on Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood. Two rookies who stand out are Russell Knox, a two-time PGA Tour winner this season who is No. 20 in the world, making him the sixth-highest ranked European; and Thomas Pieters, the Belgian loaded with power who won in Denmark on Sunday. Also being considered is Luke Donald, who is slowly rounding into form. Donald has two runner-up finishes in the last five months, and he has a 10-4-1 record in his four previous Ryder Cups. In a change this year, Love will have two more FedEx Cup playoff events before having to select three players. The fourth player won’t be announced until the Tour Championship ends Sept. 25 and players head for Hazeltine for the Ryder Cup the following week. His reference to the top 100 was the FedEx Cup — the remaining field at the Deutsche Bank Championship this week — and 59 Americans were among those 100. Love mentioned the “Billy Horschel Rule” as to why so many might be under consideration. Two years ago, right after the picks were made, Horschel won the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup. So what to do? Love stressed the importance of the eight qualifiers, at one point saying it was time for them “to take ownership of the team.” Love was part of the Ryder Cup task force that spread the picks over the length of the FedEx Cup so the U.S. team could get its hottest players. He didn’t specify what constituted a “hot player,” nor was there any way of knowing such form would carry over to the matches when they start Sept. 30. “There’s a lot of things to measure,” he said. “I think one of the best questions somebody asked me when we were trying to make a decision on picks in 2012 … is it easier for that guy to stay hot or for that other guy to get hot?” He also said he has hired Scouts Inc. to provide statistics on various players — how they would fare at a big course like Hazeltine, how they would partner and how they would fare depending on the team they are playing. “We know two, maybe three, of our four are going to be pretty easy picks,” Love said. “But handling that last one, this is new territory for all of us. Yeah, a lot of pressure on two guys, three guys, going into the Tour Championship. Not only are they playing for the FedEx Cup and for a lot of money, trying to win the last tournament of the year, but they have got this Ryder Cup thing hanging over them. So it’s going to be fun.” It was the second time in three Ryder Cup years — both times when Love was captain — that no one qualified in the final week. Love said his statistics company predicted that would be the case this year, even though Fowler was poised to qualify until dropping three shots on the last four holes. Love said Fowler was “trending up” with how he played at The Barclays and tournaments coming up. Then again, he went on to mention Ryan Moore, Sean O’Hair, Gary Woodland, Jason Kokrak and even Jamie Lovemark. “We have a lot of tough decisions ahead of us,” he said.

Houston, other non-Power 5 schools seeking major bowl bid

wnewsj.com

The schools not from Power Five conferences are making the most of their inclusion in the New Year’s Six bowl lineup. Boise State of the Mountain West Conference earned the Group of Five’s invitation two years ago and beat Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl. Houston of the American Athletic Conference followed that up last year with a win over Florida State in the Peach Bowl. The Group of Five — conferences that aren’t part of the Power Five (the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conferences ) — includes the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Mid-American Conference Mountain West Conference and Sun Belt. Schools from the Group of Five will try to win a New Year’s Six bowl for the third consecutive year. Here’s an alphabetical rundown of some teams that have shots at earning the Group of Five’s one guaranteed invite to a Year’s Six bowl, which includes the Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Peach, Rose and Sugar. ___ APPALACHIAN STATE: On the surface, this one’s a long shot. The odds of a school from the Sun Belt Conference getting in the New Year’s Six are pretty stiff. But Appalachian State does have a path to that invitation, narrow as it may be. The Mountaineers return the nucleus a team that went 11-2 and won the Camellia Bowl last season. Taylor Lamb threw 31 touchdown passes and only nine interceptions a year ago, while Marcus Cox rushed for 1,423 yards. Appalachian State visits Tennessee and hosts Miami in two of its first three games. If Appalachian State manages to split those two games and wins the rest to go 11-1 — and all the American and Mountain West teams have at least two losses — that’s one way a Sun Belt team could end up in the New Year’s Six. BOISE STATE: The Broncos went 9-4 and failed to reach the Mountain West championship game last season, but their 55-7 blowout of Northern Illinois in the Poinsettia Bowl should allow them to head into this season with plenty of momentum. Quarterback Brett Rypien is back after throwing for 3,353 yards as a freshman. Thomas Sperbeck also returns after catching 88 passes for 1,412 yards last season. A manageable schedule gives Boise State a reasonable chance of winning all its games. Boise State’s nonconference games are home matchups with Washington State and BYU, plus trips to Louisiana-Lafayette and Oregon State. HOUSTON: The 15th-ranked Cougars are the clear favorites to get the New Year’s Six bid from the Group of Five. Tom Herman enters his second year at Houston as arguably the nation’s hottest coaching prospect after leading the Cougars to a 13-1 record last season. Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson were the only Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks last season to combine for over 1,000 yards rushing and 2,000 yards passing, and Houston’s only loss last season came to Connecticut in a game Ward didn’t start due to injury. Houston gets an early chance to make a statement Saturday when it faces No. 3 Oklahoma at NRG Stadium, home of the NFL’s Houston Texans. SAN DIEGO STATE: The Aztecs have one of the nation’s most underrated players in Donnel Pumphrey, who rushed for a school-record 1,867 yards in 2014 and 1,653 yards last season. San Diego State was a unanimous pick to win the Mountain West’s Western Division in the league’s preseason poll. The Aztecs have the Mountain West’s preseason offensive player of the year (Pumphrey), defensive player of the year (cornerback Damontae Kazee) and special teams player of the year (kick returner Rashaad Penny). Kazee had eight interceptions last season. San Diego State ended the 2015 season on a 10-game winning streak and finished 11-3 with a 42-7 Hawaii Bowl blowout of Cincinnati. SOUTH FLORIDA: This team could emerge as Houston’s biggest challenger in the American Athletic Conference. USF returns seven starters on offense and seven more on defense from a team that went 8-5 last season, a marked improvement from a 4-8 campaign in 2014. Quarterback Quinton Flowers threw 22 touchdown passes and rushed for 991 yards and 12 scores last season. Marlon Mack has led the American in rushing each of the last two seasons. He had a school-record 1,381 yards rushing last season and reached the 100-yard mark nine times. WESTERN MICHIGAN: The Broncos are the Mid-American Conference preseason favorites according to the league’s media after going 8-5 and winning the Bahamas Bowl last season. Western Michigan has a chance to make an early statement, as it visits Big Ten programs Northwestern and Illinois in two of its first three games. The Broncos have a dynamic passing combination in Zach Terrell and Corey Davis, whose 3,785 career yards receiving lead all active FBS players. Western Michigan also returns Jamauri Bogan, a 1,000-yard rusher as a redshirt freshman last season. ___ Online: AP College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org FILE – In this Thursday, Dec. 31, 2015, file photo, Houston head coach Tom Herman stands on the stand after the Peach Bowl NCAA college football game against Florida State in Atlanta.

wnewsj.com

WILMINGTON — Wilmington police arrested a woman after executing a drug search warrant just after midnight Tuesday. According to WPD Chief Duane Weyand, the Wilmington Police SWAT team served a search warrant at the residence at 131 Creedon Ave. on suspicion of illegal drug activity. Upon completion of the search by the Wilmington Detective division, Tanya Nichole Howard, 34, was arrested on drug charges. Charges for trafficking in heroin will be pending lab results and consultation with the Clinton County Prosecutor’s Office, Weyand said. Howard “is also suspected in stealing thousands of dollars from our local citizens by committing acts of fraud,” Weyand said. “Charges are forthcoming in these cases. If you are a victim of one of these frauds Tanya Howard is suspected of committing and haven’t reported it yet, please contact Det. Scott Baker at 937-382-3833.” Howard is currently incarcerated at the Clinton County Jail on bond. If you see suspicious activity or drug related activity, please call 382-TIPS, Weyand added.

Headlights required in inclement weather

wnewsj.com

Under Ohio law, operators of a motor vehicle are required to use their headlights when their windshield wipers are activated. While this is not a new law, it is one worth reminding. The law was changed in 2009 that made this a requirement. Far too often we receive complaints because operators of motor vehicles are not adhering to this law. While it is a safety issue and one that merits a law, we can’t stop vehicles for this violation by itself. Under Ohio law this is considered a secondary offense. Much like seatbelts, we cannot stop a vehicle for violating this law unless we have a primary offense like speeding or running a stop sign. Daytime running lights and vehicles where lights come on automatically fulfill this obligation. The goal of the law is to increase overall traffic safety. Headlights draw more attention to cars, whether at an intersection or for oncoming cars. Anytime you draw attention to a vehicle in inclement weather, whether it is rain or snow, it increases safety for everyone. So as a courtesy, be mindful of the law and do your part to help increase highway safety. Duane Weyand is Wilmington Chief of Police. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Duane-Weyand-3.jpg

Ariya Jutanugarn wins in Canada for 5th LPGA Tour title

wnewsj.com

PRIDDIS, Alberta (AP) — Five months after giving away a major championship with a late meltdown, Ariya Jutanugarn ran away with the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open at chilly Priddis Greens for her fifth victory in 10 events. Jutanugarn made a 12-birdie putt on the final hole for a 6-under 66 and a four-stroke victory over South Korea’s Sei Young Kim. The 20-year-old Thai player won nine days after withdrawing from the Rio Olympics because of a left knee injury, a problem that almost forced her to skip the event. “I feel like I’m going to withdraw this week because my knee hurt so bad last week,” Jutanugarn said. “But when I got here on Monday and Tuesday, it’s getting a lot better, and first round it’s fine.” Bundled up in a winter jacket between shots with the temperature in the lows 50s on the overcast afternoon, the second-ranked Jutanugarn broke a tie with top-ranked Lydia Lo for the LPGA Tour victory lead. Jutanugarn focused on having fun — and did. Blasting 2-iron and 3-wood off the driving holes on the tree-lined course, she birdied the par-5 seventh and par-3 eighth to get to 19 under, then pulled away with birdies on the par-5 12th, par-4 14th, par-3 15th and par-5 18th. “I felt like I wanted to have fun and be happy,” Jutanugarn said. “No matter what’s going to happen, I can handle it.” That wasn’t the case all that long ago. In April at the ANA Inspiration in the California desert, Jutanugarn — at the time, best known for blowing a two-stroke lead with a closing triple bogey at age 17 in the 2013 LPGA Thailand — bogeyed the final three holes to hand the major title to Ko. Jutanugarn rebounded in a big way, breaking through in May with three straight victories in Alabama, Virginia and Michigan. She won the Women’s British Open in the event before the Olympics, and made it two in a row on the tour Sunday in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. “After I won my first tournament, I feel like I reached my goal, and after that I feel like I don’t care like what my ranking going to be. I don’t care if I’m going to win the tournament or not. The only thing I want to be is I really want to be happy on the course.” She has five victories in 10 events a year after missing 10 straight cuts. “I just feel like at that time, the only focus, ‘I’m scared to miss the cut. I really want to make the cut,’” Jutanugarn said. “But after that I feel like I changed my focus, so right now my focus is like what’s going to be good, like what I have to do to be good, so I’m thinking about like what is under my control, not thinking about like anything else.” Jutanugarn matched the tournament record for relation of 23 under set by So Yeon Ryu two years ago at London Hunt in Ontario and the mark for strokes of 265 set by Ryu and also accomplished by Ko in 2013 at par-70 Royal Mayfair in Edmonton. Kim, a two-time winner this year, closed with a 65. South Korea’s In Gee Chun, the 2015 U.S. Women’s Open champion, was third at 18 under after a 69. Canada’s Alena Sharp had the best result of her LPGA Tour career, birdieing the final two holes for a 67 to finish fourth at 16 under. “I can’t really describe how great it feels to play this well in Canada,” said Sharp, from Hamilton, Ontario. Australia’s Karrie Webb (64) and Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist (68) tied for fifth at 15 under. Webb won the 1999 du Maurier Classic, the then-major championship that folded because of Canada’s restrictions on tobacco promotions, at Priddis Greens. She was second behind Suzann Pettersen at the course in 2009. “On the back nine, everything went in,” Webb said. Three-time champion Ko had a 69 to tie for seventh at 13 under. “I was a little far away going into today,” the 19-year-old New Zealander said. “But it’s been a great week.” She won three of the previous four years, the first two as an amateur. Canadian star Brooke Henderson shot a 69 to tie for 14th at 11 under. The 18-year-old from Smith Falls, Ontario, is already thinking about next year’s tournament at Ottawa Hunt. “We recently became members at the Ottawa Hunt, so it’s my home golf course,” Henderson said. “It’s only 45 minutes from my house.” She also will play in her home province next week in the Manulife LPGA Classic in Cambridge. DIVOTS: Japan’s Ayako Uehara had a hole-in-one for the second straight day. After acing the 11th with a hybrid from 158 yards Saturday, she holed a 7-iron from 164 yards on the eighth. She’s the fourth player in LPGA Tour history with two aces in a week. She tied for 10th at 12 under after a 67. … Players 23 or younger have won 21 of the 23 tour events this year.

Delayed victory: Hurricane opens with 42-12 win

wnewsj.com

Wilmington started fast and only a weather delay could slow the Hurricane Friday night at Alumni Field in the varsity football season opener. The Hurricane scored on the third play of the game and never looked back while registering a 42-12 win. Third-year Hurricane head coach Scott Killen was pleased with his squad’s production in the first half. “We came out with guns blazing. even though the kids are relatively young, we really didn’t know what to expect with the ‘Friday night lights’,” said Killen. “As a group, they played well and scored 35 points in the first half and then after the delay we came out strong with the first drive of the second half. It was a very strong effort.” From a defensive standpoint, Killen felt his squad made the proper adjustments against the Panthers. “I really expected a dogfight out there,” said Killen. “They (Little Miami) came out strong but we were able to contain them. It shows the value of film study. Our kids did a great job preparing for them and we made the proper adjustments.” Killen’s defensive units kept Little Miami off the scoreboard until the final eight minutes of regulation play. The game was delayed more than 60 minutes because of lightning. Though not in the area the lightning was visible to officials at the game and therefore the second half did not start on time. Under the guidance of freshman quarterback Brady Evans, the Hurricane offense was in high gear. On the third play of the game, Evans hit paydirt. Another Brady — Henry in this case — kicked the extra point and just before the fans settled into their seats, Wilmington led 7-0. Dylan Beaugard scored at the 7:08 mark of the first quarter and Chad Davis added another scoring run at 3:55 as Wilmington left little doubt of the outcome. Henry again added two PATs and it was 21-0 after one quarter. Early in the second quarter, Evans scored again and with the Henry kick, it was 28-0. To close out the first half scoring, Evans showed his arm with a 38 yard scoring strike to Tony Merritt. Henry again obliged with the point after and the two teams went to the lockerroom with the Hurricane holding a 35-0 advantage. After the lengthy delay, the two teams came back out and the script was the same. Little Miami fumbled on its first possession with Presten Kessler recovering on the 44. Beaugard nearly made it a two touchdown night but he was short of the end zone. However, Adam Phelps barreled into the end zone from 3 yards out. Henry’s kick made it 42-0. Little Miami avoided a shutout by scoring with 7:50 left in the game. Kameron Bates caught a 31-yard touchdown pass and the Panthers converted the two-point attempt. The Panthers scored again on the Wilmington reserves as Dylan Carpenter went in from nine yards out in the final 90 seconds. Killen and the Hurricane now turn their attention to Greenville, a strong Division III school from the GWOC, who invades Alumni Field next Friday evening.. “They have a big offensive line and they have a lot of kids that can fly around,” Killen said. “We’re gonna have to execute and have a great week in practice. Our motto is the only one that can stop us is us. We’ll have to see what we can do against them.” Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_FB1_wil_dylan32PC.jpg http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_FB1_wilm_1.jpg http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_FB1_wilmdylanPC.jpg http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_FB1_wilm_amesGC.jpg http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_FB1_wilm_dylan2GC.jpg http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_FB1_wilm_dylanGC.jpg http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_FB1_wilm_evansthrowGC.jpg Wilmington’s TraLee Joiner, 39, goes for the tackle against a Little Miami player in Friday night’s game at Alumni Field.

Kaepernick will sit through anthem until there’s change

wnewsj.com

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Defiant, and determined to be a conduit for change, Colin Kaepernick plans to sit through the national anthem for as long as he feels is appropriate and until he sees significant progress — specifically when it comes to race relations in the United States. He knows he could be cut by San Francisco for this stand. Criticized and ostracized, he’ll go it alone if need be. The quarterback realizes he might be treated poorly in some road cities, and he’s ready for that, too, saying he’s not overly concerned about his safety, but “if something happens that’s only proving my point.” “I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed,” Kaepernick said Sunday at his locker. “To me this is something that has to change. When there’s significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it’s supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it’s supposed to, I’ll stand.” Two days after he refused to stand for the “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the 49ers’ preseason loss to the Packers, Kaepernick insists whatever the consequences, he will know “I did what’s right.” He said he hasn’t heard from the NFL or anyone else about his actions — and it won’t matter if he does. “No one’s tried to quiet me and, to be honest, it’s not something I’m going to be quiet about,” he said. “I’m going to speak the truth when I’m asked about it. This isn’t for look. This isn’t for publicity or anything like that. This is for people that don’t have the voice. And this is for people that are being oppressed and need to have equal opportunities to be successful. To provide for families and not live in poor circumstances.” Letting his hair go au natural and sprinting between drills as usual, Kaepernick took the field Sunday with the 49ers as his stance drew chatter across NFL camps. He explained his viewpoints to teammates in the morning, some agreeing with his message but not necessarily his method. Some said they know he has offended his countrymen, others didn’t even know what he had done. “Every guy on this team is entitled to their opinion. We’re all grown men,” linebacker NaVorro Bowman said. “I agree with what he did, but not in the way he did it,” wideout Torrey Smith said. “That’s not for me. He has that right. Soldiers have died for his right to do exactly what he did. … I know he’s taken a lot of heat for it. He understands that when you do something like that it does offend a lot of people.” Bowman and Smith are African-American. Kaepernick criticized presidential candidates Donald Trump (“openly racist”) and Hillary Clinton;” called out police brutality against minorities; and pushed for accountability of public officials. “You can become a cop in six months and don’t have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist,” Kaepernick said. “That’s insane. Someone that’s holding a curling iron has more education and more training than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us.” In college at Nevada, Kaepernick said, police were called one day “because we were the only black people in that neighborhood.” Officers entered without knocking and drew guns on him and his teammates and roommates as they were moving their belongings, he said. He said his stand is not against men and women in the military. Kaepernick, whose hair had been in cornrows during training camp, sat on the bench during Friday’s national anthem at Levi’s Stadium. Giants wideout Victor Cruz and Bills coach Rex Ryan said standing for the anthem shows respect. “There’s a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality,” said Kaepernick, who is biracial and whose adoptive parents are white. “There’s people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. People are being given paid leave for killing people. That’s not right. That’s not right by anyone’s standards.” On Sunday, he stopped briefly on a side field to talk with Harry Edwards and they shared a quick embrace before the quarterback grabbed his helmet and took the field. Edwards is a sociologist and African-American activist who helped plan the “Olympic Project for Human Rights” before the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, where U.S. sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos took the medal podium barefoot and bowed their heads through the anthem, raising gloved fists in a black power protest. After swirling trade talks all offseason following Kaepernick’s three operations and sub-par 2015 season, he has done everything so far but play good football — and he doesn’t plan for this to be a distraction. Coach Chip Kelly did not speak to the media Sunday. He said Saturday he still hasn’t decided on his starting quarterback in a competition between Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert, who took over the job from Kaepernick last November and has vowed to be the No. 1 again. Kaepernick hasn’t stood for the anthem in any of the team’s three preseason games “and I don’t see it as going about it the wrong way.” “That’s his right as a citizen,” Kelly said. “We recognize his right as an individual to choose to participate or not participate in the national anthem.” Now, Kaepernick is prepared for whatever comes next. “I think there’s a lot of consequences that come along with this. There’s a lot of people that don’t want to have this conversation,” he said. “They’re scared they might lose their job. Or they might not get the endorsements. They might not to be treated the same way. Those are things I’m prepared to handle. … “At this point, I’ve been blessed to be able to get this far and have the privilege of being able to be in the NFL, making the kind of money I make and enjoy luxuries like that. I can’t look in the mirror and see people dying on the street that should have the same opportunities that I’ve had.” ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

Hurricane storms Hillsboro in SCOL boys soccer

wnewsj.com

Jalen Douglas recorded his second shutout and Sam Spirk scored three goals as the Wilmington High School boys soccer team defeated Hillsboro 8-0 Thursday in a South Central Ohio League match at Alumni Field. The Hurricane scored early and often and never gave the Indians a chance. “Our boys came out and delivered this evening,” WHS coach Imad El-Macharrafie said. “We talk a lot about not waiting for the game to come to us but to make the game ours and we executed on that level the moment the whistle blew until the scoreboard ran 0.00.” Douglas made seven saves in goal for the Hurricane. Hillsboro lost a talented senior class, so we give a ton of credit to those guys who played us hard the whole game,” El-Macharrafie said. “We will celebrate this win tonight and get back to game planning against Dayton Christian tomorrow afternoon before their arrival on Saturday. We expect a really tough matchup.” The JV ’Cane will play at Noon Saturday with the varsity set for a 2 p.m. kickoff against Carroll. Spirk led five Hurricane in the scoring column in the league win.

Grunting and groaning and aging

wnewsj.com

Carol Burnett once said something hilarious about getting old. Allow me to paraphrase. She said that she never felt like she was getting old. She never thought she looked old, but one day, while she was putting on her sweater, she saw her mother’s hand emerge from the sleeve. Suddenly, while looking at her own hand, with the age spots and purple veins, she realized that age had crept up on her; age had finally caught her. There is a point in each of our lives when the certainty of our own advancing age hits us right between the eyes. It might be seeing your mother or father’s hand coming out of your sleeve. It might be a sideways glance at the bathroom mirror, where you see your grandfather’s nose and hairline superimposed on your own image. Debbie and I have noticed that we are now making noises that we didn’t used to make. Without even realizing it, we have started making grunting-and-groaning noises whenever we get off the couch or step out of the car. Somewhat like Carol Burnett, the realization of our new tendency toward making old-folk noises came from an unexpected source. Our almost 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, repeats just about everything he hears. Recently, Debbie noticed Clayton making the same grunts-and-groans that he hears us making. Debbie was a little shocked and said, “Wow, are we making those sounds?” It didn’t take long to realize. Yes. We are making a lot of old-folk sounds. Grunts and groans have become common sounds around the Riley Household. I hit the ripe age of 65 last year. So, I started wondering. Besides the grunts-and-groans, what else am I doing that proves, beyond any doubt, that I have smacked head-first into old age? I started listening and paying attention to myself. Holy cow. I’m suddenly loaded with old-man traits. Due to two lousy knees, I walk down stairs very gingerly – like an old man. My knees always hurt, but some days are worse than others. For the really bad days, I leave a cane at the bottom of our stairs to help me as I climb up and down. Part of my knee problems may be genetic. Mom has had knee problems for years. Years of jogging probably didn’t help. I stopped jogging after my left knee was torn during a fall on the ski slopes of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. My right knee is by far the worst. It was literally ripped apart on the dance floor at a resort in the Bahamas. (Yes, you read that right.) Limbo contests are taken seriously in the Bahamas. It was down to me and a skinny young girl. I should have walked away, but didn’t. I got as low as possible, but due to the angle, the torque, and the body weight, the knee ripped apart. Following surgery, my orthopedic surgeon told me that my knees are probably about 20 years older than me. I’m due for knee replacement surgery, but I’m putting that off as long as possible. The latest old-man insult came a few weeks ago. I woke up with a stiff neck. Actually, the pain was fairly intense. It was a stabbing pain, but it felt like the knife had been left in place. It wouldn’t stop. Over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs helped, but the pain remained for several days. “I think I slept wrong.” That’s what I told Debbie. Then I realized how dumb that sounded. When did I forget how to sleep right? When I was younger I could roll up into a ball anywhere, under any circumstance, fall asleep and wake up refreshed. Now, for some reason, that’s changed and I need a special pillow. At what point in my life did it become possible for me to “sleep wrong?” OK, this 65-year-old body may be aging, but I refuse to give in. Despite the grunts and groans, I refuse to act old or think old. I want to think that I still have a lot of life left to enjoy. I am committed to enjoying life. A few years ago, there was a commercial for a life insurance company that I liked. Basically, it said, “Sharks live in every ocean, but we still swim and enjoy the beach. Lightning strikes somewhere in the world, but we still like to play in the rain. Many bad things can happen. However, the bad things in life can’t stop us from enjoying a full life; from making our lives good.” Amen to that. The joy of life doesn’t come from sitting in a chair, it comes from getting up and doing something. Joy doesn’t come from sitting in a car. It comes from driving the car to explore new places; visit family and friends; to drive to a soccer game or football game where grandkids are running and playing the games we used to play. There is joy in every day. Sometimes we just need to grunt and groan a little to find the joy that awaits us. Randy Riley is President of Council of Wilmington. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Randy-Riley-4.jpg

Clinton County’s 2017 budget season kicks off

wnewsj.com

WILMINGTON — The reason for asking that county departments’ 2017 budget requests not be more than last year’s requests is an effort to be proactive in limiting budget expenditures, department heads were told Monday. Even though presently the county’s cash reserves are “pretty robust,” its end-of-year carryover funds potentially could be “eaten up rather quickly” due to “two substantial hits” to the county’s revenue stream that are visible on the near horizon, Clinton County Commissioner Kerry Steed said. Those two pending revenue decreases stem from a lower county sales tax rate this autumn, and the elimination of a portion of Medicaid sales tax revenue that will start next summer. As previously reported, starting in July 2017, the State of Ohio can no longer apply a sales tax to Medicaid managed-care organizations. Following news this summer about the statewide Medicaid tax change, Clinton County Commissioner President Mike Curry said he didn’t know how long the county could stick with the pending county sales tax rate of 1 percent compared to the current 1.5 percent county sales tax rate. The 0.5 percent additional county sales tax rolling off at the end of September generated about $2.8 million last year. And the reduction in Medicaid tax revenue reportedly will be about $840,000 a year for Clinton County, though state officials hope to lessen the financial impact to counties. “That’s why we have these discussions — to be proactive. Not cutting [budget requests], but limiting of our budget expenditures, and I hope you would all agree with that regard,” Steed told the county elected officials and department heads who assembled Monday morning. As in past years, the commissioners are asking county department officials, at least initially, to hold the line on their department’s salary line request. Steed, who led the budget discussion Monday, said it’s important to first make sure the bills can get paid. Then, if there are additional funds at the end of the budget-planning season, that’s when commissioners look at how potentially to distribute those funds to county workers. In other news: • Commissioners proclaimed September as Feed Ohio Month in Clinton County. Last year, the volunteer effort was able to distribute about 4,500 pounds of non-perishable foods to food banks and food pantries in the area, according to Rees Watson, a local minister with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. If someone wishes to volunteer to be involved in collecting food items for Feed Ohio, they can send an email to [email protected] For more information on Feed Ohio, please visit the website feedohio.org.

Quilts for good causes

wnewsj.com

Have you ever heard of a quilting bee? The Clinton County Quilters have been having a “modern” quilting bee at their meetings recently to make a quilt to be raffled at this year’s Clinton County Corn Festival. The theme for the show this year is “Down on the Farm” and the quilt that the ladies have been working on together bears the same name. More than 175 quilts will be on display in the quilt barn at the Corn Festival on Sept. 9-11. Members of the group will also be giving quilting demonstrations throughout the weekend and selling handmade items in the Beehive Shop. Kathy Stevens made a quilt called Quilt Barns, and Bette Ursell made an OSU quilt that will be raffled at the same time. When you purchase tickets, you can select which quilt you would like to try to win. Tickets are available from any quilt group member, at the Cotton Junky in Wilmington, and at the Corn Festival. The Clinton County Quilters contribute “Quilts for Heroes” to local veterans, and have also given quilts to the homeless shelter, children’s services, and to families who have lost their homes to a disaster such as fire. The Clinton County Quilters have been busy as “bees” with the quilt for this year’s Corn Festival. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Bee1.jpg The Clinton County Quilters have been busy as “bees” with the quilt for this year’s Corn Festival.

Trump to visit Wilmington Thursday

wnewsj.com

WILMINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump will appear at a noon rally on Thursday at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, according to the Trump campaign. “We’re absolutely thrilled that Mr. Trump is coming to Clinton County,” said Clinton County GOP Chairman Tim Inwood. “This may be Clinton County, but as he showed in the primary, it’s Trump country, as he handily carried the county.” Inwood said the local Republican organization first heard about a possible local visit by Trump about two weeks ago. “He’s coming to the national American Legion convention in Cincinnati and we were given a heads up that the campaign was looking for another venue in Southwest Ohio,” Inwood said. “Clinton County was very appealing to them and we got confirmation today (Monday) that he’s coming here.” Inwood said he hasn’t been told what Trump may be speaking about, but he pointed out that “all his speeches are newsworthy.” To register for up to two tickets to the event (first come, first serve), go to: www.donaldjtrump.com/schedule/register/wilmington-oh/. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_RGB_Election-Logo-2016cmyk-1.jpg

Hillsboro hands Wilmington girls soccer 4-2 loss

wnewsj.com

Wilmington rallied from a halftime deficit Thursday but couldn’t hold off Hillsboro in losing a South Central Ohio League girls soccer match at Alumni Field, 4-2. Hillsboro scored three minutes into the match and led 2-0 at halftime. Bridgette Thompson started the comeback trail when she served a corner kick that Jasmine Jamiel cashed in midway through the second half. Jamiel then assisted an Autumn Housh goal just five minutes later to tie the match at 2-2. The Lady Indians, however, scored on the ensuring kickoff to take a 3-2 lead. “We didn’t pressure the ball immediately upon kick-off and it cost us,” WHS coach Kerry Lewis said. Hillsboro scored with one second remaining for the two-goal margin. “We got off to a slow start once again but the girls played great in the second half,” Lewis said. “We’re very young and the kids make outstanding improvements from half to half and game to game. We’re much better now than we were three weeks ago and we were much better tonight in the last 40 minutes. Tough loss to a good team, but we’ll bounce back.” http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_LOGO-whs-letter-8.jpg

Sabina’s General Fund running low, says its fiscal officer

wnewsj.com

SABINA — Saying the town’s General Fund is in danger of falling short of dollars, village officials hope the Ohio tax commissioner and a local judge grant a $200,000 transfer from the Sabina Sewer Fund to general operations, including police. Council unanimously passed legislation Thursday that authorizes the law director to ask Clinton County Common Pleas Court to approve the transfer of money from the village’s Sewer Fund to its General Fund. Council’s measure states the $200,000 being eyed is not currently being used for capital improvements to the sanitary sewer system, nor are there any substantial sewer improvements being considered in the foreseeable future. The legislation also states a sum of $200,000 would remain in the Sewer Fund after the transfer, and the amount is enough for needed improvements or projects. Sabina Fiscal Officer Nancy L. Cornell, who has spoken about the difficult General Fund picture previously, said Thursday, “We are running out of money.” If the proposed transfer of money from the Sewer Fund to the General Fund is not granted, she said, “I don’t know how we’re going to finish the year with the General Fund.” The General Fund is separate from the village’s Water, Sewer, Sanitation, Street Maintenance & Repair, and Pool Enterprise Funds. Many of the General Fund dollars go to the Sabina Police Department. Thursday’s resolution declares that the $200,000 transfer is a necessity, and cites a loss of revenues from the losses of several major employers formerly located in Sabina. Among the employers named are Mac Tools, Palm Harbor Industries, and Bundy Tubing. Reduced funds from the State of Ohio also are identified as part of the problem. Those two factors yielded a decline in revenues for the village of more than $160,000 annually, states the resolution. After council passed the resolution, Sabina Mayor Dean Hawk said of the funds transfer process, “Get her done.” The session of council also held good news announcements: First, the Ohio Development Services Agency has awarded a $300,000 grant for storm sewer reconstruction in Sabina. The storm sewer runs down Jefferson Street and Solutions Avenue under the railroad, Mound Street and to the creek, Hawk reported to council. The portion to be repaired is from U.S. 22/S.R. 3 to behind the houses on Mound Street. “This has been caving in under the railroad and Mound Street for years, but repair was so costly we could not afford to work on it. We think some of the water problems between Mound Street and the railroad may be caused by leakage of this storm line,” the mayor said. The construction is anticipated for 2017. The Jefferson Street project, it was reported previously, would involve replacing 1,700 linear feet of storm sewer, 14 catch basins, seven manholes, and jacking and boring of the storm sewer under railroad tracks. The second piece of good news announced Thursday is a Wilson Creek phase of the Mary’s Fork/Wilson Creek cleanup project also was approved for funds. Also at the council meeting: • The Sabina Municipal Pool’s total revenues this year, including about $16,000 in donations, came to $55,041, Cornell reported. She called that “really a nice number.” Currently, pool expenditures for the year stand at $36,225. • Sabina Village Councilman Bill Lewis said the issue of Trahera Lane which is in town but is not a village-dedicated street “needs to be back on the table to be resolved.” Village Councilman Mike Walls, however, said there are several Trahera Lane residents who don’t want it to happen.

Serena’s US Open begins with tough matchup vs Makarova

wnewsj.com

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams hadn’t played much coming into the Grand Slam tournament. An injury hampered her preparation, and she served miserably in the match. That was the story in the fourth round of the 2012 Australian Open, when a young Russian lefty named Ekaterina Makarova stunned Williams in straight sets. The victory fueled Makarova’s surge up the rankings, and by the 2014 U.S. Open, she was in the top 20 and facing the American in the semifinals. That day is a much more pleasant memory for Williams — a 6-1, 6-3 win that was part of a dominant run to the title. It’s the kind of form she’s hoping to regain as she begins her bid for a record 23rd major title. But Williams has played just three singles matches since Wimbledon, hindered by a right shoulder injury. In her last outing, a third-round loss to Elina Svitolina in the Olympics, her serve deserted her much as it did against Makarova in Melbourne 4 1/2 years ago. “Usually I prefer to play more coming into the final Grand Slam of the year, but there is nothing we can do about it,” Williams said Friday. “You just have to make the best of every single opportunity. That’s all I can do now.” And she won’t get a chance to ease into the U.S. Open — the luck of the draw was not kind to the top-ranked Williams. Makarova just missed out on a seed and is No. 29 this week. They’ll open the night session at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday. Other matches to watch on Day 2 of the U.S. Open: NOBODY LIKES LUKAS: In the nightcap on Ashe, second-seeded Andy Murray faces Lukas Rosol. The last time they met, Murray wound up grumbling across the court to his opponent: “No one likes you on the tour — everyone hates you.” It all started when Rosol appeared to intentionally bump Murray during a changeover in that quarterfinal match at Munich in 2015. Murray later expressed some regret for his choice of words if not for his intentions in standing up to Rosol, who has a reputation for such gamesmanship. On Friday, Murray said he and Rosol hashed things out after the match and “I have actually gotten along fine with him apart from that day.” The 81st-ranked Rosol, who upset Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2012, will probably need much more than intimidation tactics to knock Murray off his game Tuesday. Murray has won 33 of his last 35 matches, picking up a second Wimbledon title and second Olympic gold medal along the way. DEL POTRO’S BACK: Since winning the 2009 title, Juan Martin del Potro has missed three of the last six U.S. Opens because of injuries. He’s back at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2013, playing fellow Argentine Diego Schwartzman in the first round Tuesday. Ranked 142nd after three left wrist surgeries, del Potro needed a wild card to get into the tournament. But since the start of Wimbledon, he’s defeated three of the U.S. Open’s top four seeds. Tuesday will give the first indication of how physically and emotionally drained he still is from his stunning run to a silver medal at the Olympics. FLIPPING OUT: Venus Williams hasn’t played a singles match since an early exit in Rio, either — though she did wind up winning silver in mixed doubles. The sixth-seeded American opens her tournament against 93rd-ranked Kateryna Kozlova on Tuesday. The player who beat Williams in the first round at the Olympics, Kirsten Flipkens, gets another chance to upset a top-10 opponent when she meets fifth-seeded Simona Halep.

Larson takes advantage of late restart for first Cup victory

wnewsj.com

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — During the last couple laps of his first Sprint Cup victory, Kyle Larson was emotional. “I think with two to go, I was starting to get choked up,” he said. “We worked really, really hard to get a win, and just haven’t done it. Finally all the hard work by everybody, hundreds of people at our race shop, people who have got me through to the Cup Series, it was all paying off.” Larson took the lead on a restart with nine laps remaining and held off Chase Elliott at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday in a duel between two of NASCAR’s up-and-coming standouts. Elliott had a comfortable lead before a tire problem on Michael Annett’s car brought out the yellow flag. Larson had the better restart and went on to win by 1.48 seconds. Brad Keselowski finished third. Larson’s victory in his No. 42 Chevrolet snapped a 99-race losing streak for Chip Ganassi Racing dating to Jamie McMurray’s victory at Talladega in 2013. Larson secured a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup with two races left in the regular season. Elliott remains winless, but is in solid shape to make the Chase field on points if need be. It was the 99th career start for the 24-year-old Larson, who had 14 top-five finishes before Sunday but hadn’t won at the Cup level. The 20-year-old Elliott is winless in 29 starts, but this was an impressive showing for him after eight consecutive races outside the top 10. Elliott finished second at Michigan in June as well, losing to Joey Logano. “That’s a couple races in a row in just a few short months here at this place we had a really good car, had an opportunity,” Elliott said. “That’s one thing I try really hard to do is make the most of opportunities when they’re presented. Obviously I didn’t do a very good job of that here both trips.” Elliott led by 2.86 seconds with 28 laps to go Sunday, and it looked as if Larson’s chance to catch him had been derailed when he lost ground passing a lapped car. The caution gave him another shot, though, and he took advantage. “We both spun our tires really bad, and the No. 2 (Keselowski) pushed me really good,” Larson said. “He could have probably pulled underneath me and went by, but he stayed with me and got me the lead.” There were only four cautions in the 200-lap, 400-mile race. Larson led a race-high 41 laps. Logano, the pole winner, finished 10th. Chris Buescher, who has a victory but still needs to stay in the top 30 in points to make the Chase, finished 35th after some early engine trouble. Buescher is seven points ahead of David Ragan for 30th place on the season. Alex Bowman, filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 car, had a problem with the ignition system and finished 30th. Twelve drivers have wrapped up Chase berths. Tony Stewart, who has a victory, has clinched a top-30 finish in points to secure his spot. Buescher’s situation is still uncertain, so there could end up being as many as four drivers making it in on points. Elliott is 11th in the standings, the top driver with no victories. WHO’S HOT: Points leader Kevin Harvick followed up his win at Bristol with a fifth-place showing at Michigan. He has 11 top-five finishes in 24 starts this year. WHO’S NOT: It was another rough day for Kyle Busch at Michigan. He’d finished out of the top 30 in five of his previous six races at the track, and he was no factor Sunday after an early spin, although he did recover well enough to come in 19th. “We actually had a pretty fast car. We ran some really fast laps, but we just got in a bad spot there on the restart and got sucked around and wore off part of our splitter,” crew chief Adam Stevens said. “Even after that we were one of the probably five or six quickest cars on the race track and just whenever we got in the lucky-dog spot we ran there for I can’t tell you how many laps and just didn’t get a caution.” INSPECTION: Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford failed post-race laser inspection. SKID: Hendrick Motorsports is winless in 19 races after Elliott fell short, but there were some positive signs for the team. At the midway point, Hendrick cars were 1-2, with Jimmie Johnson leading Elliott at the front. Kasey Kahne was in fifth at that point. Johnson ended up sixth, and Kahne finished 14th. Bowman was the only driver for Hendrick who finished way behind. This is Hendrick’s longest losing streak since a 22-race dry spell from 1993 into 1994. UP NEXT: Darlington Raceway, Sept. 4. Carl Edwards is the defending race winner.

East Clinton comes up short at Batavia 26-21

wnewsj.com

BATAVIA – In a game delayed 30-minutes to start and 30 minutes at halftime, East Clinton opened its season with a 26-21 loss at Batavia. Batavia built its lead and held off East Clinton with a whole lot of Maham. The Bulldogs’ 5-9, 170 scat back Austin Mahan jiggled, juked and hurdled his way around Astros for touchdowns of 52, 38 and 56 yards. The 56-yarder gave the Bulldogs at 26-14 lead with 6:54 left in the game and appeared to put it out of reach for the Astros. It came after a Batavia interception that looked to be an EC completion because of simultaneous possession. EC did pull within 26-21 on the following drive. It couldn’t get the ball back for a chance to win the game. Each team had the ball once in the opening quarter. Batavia marched 79 yards before fumbling on the EC 1. The Astros made the Bulldogs pay 99 yards later with a nifty 26-yard back shoulder touchdown toss and grab from Brendan Jenkins to Wyatt Floyd. Mahan’s first touchdown and a touchdown pass from Scaggs to Fluegel sandwiched an EC fumble, capping a harrowing 22-second span midway through the second quarter for the Astros that saw their touchdown lead turn into a touchdown deficit. The Astros got a couple points back 3:00 before halftime with a safety after penalties pinned the Bulldogs on their 2. East Clinton also lead 14-13 midway through the third quarter after Floyd’s second INT of the contest led to an Austin Hanners 1-yard plunge. SUMMARY August 26, 2016 @Batavia Holman Stadium Batavia 26 East Clinton 21 EC 06.02.06.07…..21 BA 00.13.06.07…..26 First Quarter EC – Floyd 26 pass from Jenkins (Kick failed), :42.9.

Study: Playing with sports concussion doubles recovery time

wnewsj.com

CHICAGO (AP) — Continuing to play despite a concussion doubles recovery time for teen athletes and leads to worse short-term mental function than in those immediately removed from action, a study found. It’s billed as the first to compare recovery outcomes for athletes removed from a game or practice compared with those who aren’t. The study was small, involving 69 teens treated at a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center concussion clinic, but the results bolster evidence supporting the growing number of return-to-play laws and policies nationwide The study was published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. KEEPING SCORE The study involved athletes aged 15 on average from several sports, including football, soccer, ice hockey and basketball who had concussions during a game or practice. Half continued to play and took 44 days on average to recover from symptoms, versus 22 days in those who were immediately sidelined. Sidelined players reported symptoms immediately, including dizziness, headaches, mental fogginess and fatigue, and were diagnosed with concussions by trainers or team physicians. The others, who continued playing for 19 minutes on average, delayed reporting symptoms and were diagnosed later. Those who continued to play had worse scores on mental function tests performed eight days after the concussion and 30 days after the concussion. Medical records showed mental function had been similar in all players before their concussions. RISKY RETURNS Return-to-play policies are widespread, especially in youth athletics, and they typically recommend sidelining players after a suspected concussion until symptoms resolve. One of the main reasons is to prevent a rare condition called second-impact syndrome — potentially fatal brain swelling or bleeding that can occur when a player still recovering from a concussion gets hit again in the head. The study results show that a prolonged recovery is another important risk from returning to play too soon — one that “no one had really calculated” until now, said Dr. Allen Sills, a Vanderbilt University neurosurgeon. He was not involved in the research. NOT REPORTED About 300,000 sports-related concussions occur each year nationwide among all ages. In high school athletics, they occur at a rate of almost 3 per 10,000 games or practices. Evidence suggests up to 50 percent of concussions in teen sports aren’t reported. Athletes are sometimes not aware they’ve experienced a concussion, or they suspect a head injury but continue playing because “they don’t want to let their teammates down,” said University of Arkansas concussion researcher R.J. Elbin, the study’s lead author. The results “give us more ammunition” to persuade young athletes to heed the return-to-play advice, Elbin said. ___ Online: Pediatrics: http://www.pediatrics.org CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/headsup/youthsports/ By Lindsey Tanner AP Medical Writer Follow AP Medical Writer Lindsey Tanner at http://www.twitter.com/LindseyTanner.

Advice for kids heading back to school

wnewsj.com

And with that, summer disappeared just as quickly as it had arrived, leaving behind wistful memories of afternoons spent lounging at the swimming pool, blissful summer nights that seemed to stretch into eternity under moonlit skies and blissfully lazy mornings ignoring the alarm clock while dreaming of what lay ahead. That’s nice and all … but get back to school, kids. By the end of next week, all of the county’s most valuable resources will have returned to school, their arms full of books, their lunch boxes full of lunch, their heads full of thoughts and their hearts full of hope. I’m sure some of them aren’t exactly pleased with this particular development, but the good news is they’ll one day learn there’s something far worse than school … it’s called the real world. In the real world, there are no summer breaks, spring breaks or Christmas breaks; there are only mortgages to be paid and deadlines to be met. But they’ll have time to figure all of that out later. In the meantime, I wish I could offer them some advice to make their school year go just a little smoother. If they are the scholarly type, I certainly can’t offer them any academic advice. I was a recalcitrant slacker throughout my school career, rarely ever working up to my potential. I got into college because of my standardized test scores as opposed to my grade point average — or, more specifically, in spite of my grade point average. I was a National Merit Scholar who rarely scraped the bottom of the 3.0 mark, mostly because I would rather have spent my school career playing video games. If they are of an athletic bent, I absolutely can’t offer any advice in that arena. There’s a reason why I went into sports writing, and not sports playing, for a living. I was the last kid picked for every game in every gym class I ever was forced to take in school. Me trying to give advice to an athlete on how to get better would sort of be like a bird trying to give swimming lessons to a fish. Some kids are proficient in arts — I was never one of them. I tried singing in public once. Someone asked what I got for doing that. Before I could answer, he said, “Because you should have got 20 years to life.” I can’t dance. I can’t draw or paint. Anything much outside the realm of connect-the-dots is well beyond the scope of my artistic purview. I tried my hand at acting in junior high school — and my performances could generally be described and stilted and contrived …. and those were the compliments. So, for the most part, I guess I don’t really have much advice or great words of wisdom for the kids as they prepare to head back for another year of school, except maybe for this: Be nice. It sounds so simple, and yet you’d be amazed how many of us forget to do it. It’s not just you, kids. Adults forget all the time, too. Trust me. Mean people are out there. Chances are, you’ll spend the rest of your life dealing with at least one mean person per day. Maybe that’s why I’m offering this advice to you while you are still young — in hopes that you can stem the tide of acrimony. Perhaps you can be the generation that decides bullying — which has been around since Cain and Abel — has gone far enough. I was bullied in junior high school and 30 years later, those scars run pretty deep. I still remember the names and faces of many of my tormentors and the mere mention of their names never fails to bring me back to dark places. Don’t be like those people. Be nice instead. Here’s the best thing about being nice: it’s easy to do. You don’t have to be the smartest person in your class, or the best athlete or the best singer. All you have to do is treat people the way you would want to be treated. It really is that simple. So please, be nice. Because many years from now, people probably aren’t going to remember — and they most certainly aren’t going to care — if you were the class valedictorian or the star of the football team or the lead in the school play. But they are going to remember how you treated others. So please, as you go back to school this year, remember those two simple words. Be nice.

Ladycats roar to 4-0 start with 5-0 win

wnewsj.com

BLANCHESTER — The Blanchester tennis team remained unbeaten Monday with a 5-0 non-league win over Glen Este on the BHS courts. The Ladycats, 4-0 on the year, picked up a couple of forfeit wins from Glen Este. Brooke Honaker at first singles and both doubles teams notched wins for Blanchester. Honaker and the doubles team of Erin Wilson and Lilly Tedrick are both 6-0 on the year. Honaker lost only three points in her match. For the pairing of Lydia Falgner and Lexie Winemiller it was their first varsity win. “It was good to see Brooke, Erin and Lilly play focused, aggressive tennis,” said BHS coach Matt Sexton. “They did what they needed to do and got off the court, which is important with two more tough matches ahead this week. “Second doubles was a great experience for all four players. It was a chance for both teams to get some experience in an even match. I was happy for Lydia and Lexie that they found a way to pull out the win, especially after a tough second set.” SUMMARY August 29, 2016 @Blanchester High School Blanchester 5, Glen Este 0 Singles • Brooke Honaker d. Lauren Bice 6-0, 6-0 • Emily Speakman won by default • Megan Weber won by default Doubles • Erin Wilson, Lilly Tedrick d.

Wherever I travel within this golden state of California, someone introduces me to part of its history. Recently I visited friends in Southern California at the western end of the San Fernando Valley. From the 118 freeway I could see miles of irregular rock formations identified as the Chatsworth Mountains. Just east of those mountains, below those gigantic rock formations, I could see the town of Chatsworth.

This weekend the country takes a little time out from our normal routine to celebrate Labor Day. It is a day designated by Congress to honor those of us that do the work in this country. Originally the intent was to honor the men and women who are a part of the union movements but, like many things in this country, it has morphed into a day to honor workers.

This weekend the country takes a little time out from our normal routine to celebrate Labor Day. It is a day designated by Congress to honor those of us that do the work in this country. Originally the intent was to honor the men and women who are a part of the union movements but, like many things in this country, it has morphed into a day to honor workers.

One hundred years ago today, Aug. 25, the National Park Service came into existence. President Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation creating a federal government oversight agency to protect some of our nation’s most beautiful areas, and from that the service has been expanded to include historic monuments, urban parks, and other places near and dear to Americans.
