Meigs County receives neighborhood grant funds
Village of Rutland to be target area for funds
Sarah Hawley

POMEROY — Meigs County
has been awarded $300,000 in
grant funds as part of the Neighborhood Revitalization program.
The grant funds will be targeted
toward the Village of Rutland.
Grants Administrator Jean
Trussell said Rutland is the fifth
village in the county to be the
beneficiary of the Community Development Block Grant Neighborhood Revitalization Program.
Pomeroy, Middleport, Syracuse
and most recently Racine have
received the grant over the past
several years.
Targeted communities must
have at least 60 percent of the
population considered low or
moderate income. Trussell said
Rutland had 60.5 percent of the
population meeting this requirement.
The two-year program is de-
signed to help distressed areas by
providing funds for infrastructure
and continued improvements in a
specific area.
Trussel said in addition to the
$300,000 in grant money, the projects to be completed in Rutland
will include $167,100 in match
money.
Projects funded through the
Neighborhood
Revitalization
program will be fire protection
facilities and equipment, street
improvements, clearance activities, neighborhood facility and
community center improvements,
and parks and recreation facilities.
The fire facilities project will
total $114,500, with $80,000
coming from the Neighborhood

Horse racing will take center stage at the Meigs County Fair on Thursday.

POMEROY — Horse racing and
betting have gone hand-in-hand for
decades, and this year it will be happening at the Meigs County Fair.
This is not the first time for wagering at the Meigs County Fair, but
it’s the first time in a long time —
maybe 25 or 30 years.
In Ohio, there are seven raceways
and several county fairs that offer
wagering on horses and have for a
number of years.
Racing at the Meigs County Fair
this year is scheduled for Thursday,
Aug. 16, beginning at noon on the
oval racetrack of the Rock Spring
Fairgrounds. There are classes for
10 to 13 races for pacers and trotters
with two being “free for all,” according to the schedule released by the
Meigs County Fair Board.
“For those who have been to the
raceways or dog tracks, the methods of wagering will be the same,”
said Steve Swatzel, racing superintendent. “During the harness horse
races fans can study a ‘tote board’

Liberty School now in session

POMEROY — Lessons in the history of our nation moving from the days
of tyranny to this time of sustaining liberty is being offered this week in a Vacation Liberty School being held at the
old Chester Grade School in Chester.
Two sessions are being held each
evening, the first from 6 to 7 p.m. and
the second from 7 to 8 p.m. While registration is not required, those who
prefer to pre-register can do so at wwwohio.vls.com. In charge of the school
is Victor Smith of Washington County,
a retired Army man.
The school is for children ages 10
to 15 and the theme is “Teaching the
Principles of Liberty.” Presenters will
include some local residents. Those
attending can come for one session or
both sessions each evening.
Monday’s sessions were an introduction to liberty from tyranny while

POMEROY — Pomeroy
Council unanimously voted to reverse a previous decision to place the Palmer
Energy Opt-Out electricity
aggregation plan on the
November ballot.
During the July 23 regular meeting, Pomeroy
Council voted 3-1 (Ruth
Spaun voting no) to place
the proposed plan before
the voters.
During the Aug. 1 special meeting, council members reversed that decision.
When the plan was presented to council by Kathy
Teigland of Palmer Energy Co. during the July 9
meeting, council members
were given the idea that
the commissioners had
approved of the plan. The
opt-out program would
have been similar to the
gas opt-out program voted
into place a few years ago.
Since the approval at the
July 23 meeting, Mayor
Mary McAngus spoke with
the commissioners about
the plan.
During the special meeting, McAngus read a letter to members of council
which she had received
from the Meigs County
Commissioners regarding
the proposed plan.
The letter reads in part:
We the Board of the
Meigs County Commis-
sioners, have been approached numerous times
by companies interested in
the County’s energy needs.
Some are interested in our
county buildings alone,
and some with a countywide opt out plan that
would need to be presented
for a vote on the county
election ballot.
We, the Commissioners,
are interested in these proposals as they may reflect
a savings in our energy
bills. But in light of the
ongoing hearings between
the energy providers and
the PUCO which we get almost daily correspondence
from, it seems there is a lot
of uncertainties in this direction. So, we are not at
this time entered into any
agreement, nor do we have
immediate plans of presenting this to the voters of
the county. We will continue to monitor this activity
and at any time it would
appear to be good for the
county, we will certainly
make it known and be
available for public hearings and comments before
a vote.
Present at the meeting
were council members
Jackie Welker, Dru Reed,
Robert Payne and Ruth
Spaun, McAngus, and
clerk Sonya Wolfe.
The next Pomeroy Council meeting will be held at
7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13
at Pomeroy Village Hall.

Deputy Superintendent
Michael Sawyers will become acting superintendent.
No reason for his departure was given in the letter,
but it came just days after
a state watchdog’s findings
of wrongdoing against Heffner.
The report Thursday by
Inspector General Randall
Meyer found that Heffner
was on the payroll of a Texas-based testing firm when
he lobbied state lawmakers
last year on a bill that benefited the company.
The IG report also found
that Heffner misused his
state email and cellphone
to communicate with the
testing firm, and assigned
the executive secretary in
his office at the Ohio Department of Education to
schedule travel related to
the job and handle paperwork related to the sale
of his Ohio home and pur-
chase of a replacement in
Texas.
Heffner ultimately didn’t
take the job with Educational Testing Service
because he was selected
as Ohio’s state superintendent.
Meyer
urged
the
19-member state school
board, which hires and
fires the superintendent,
to consider whether Heffner should be disciplined.
He asked the panel to report back to him within 60
days.
Board chairwoman Debe
Terhar said in response
that the issue would be
taken up at the board’s
next meeting.
Education Department
spokesman John Charlton
said in an email that he
could not elaborate on Heffner’s “retirement resignation” letter.

ODNR Director announces
reopening of Burr Oak Lodge
GLOUSTER — Burr
Oak Lodge and Conference
Center will be renovated
and reopened, Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR) Director Jim Zehringer announced today.
ODNR will also seek public
input on plans to develop
Burr Oak State Park into
a regional destination location. In January, the lodge
and conference center was
closed due to sparse use
and poor facility conditions.
U.S. Hotels, a national
hospitality and leisure
company, will operate the
lodge and conference cen-
ter on a short-term management service contract.
In addition, this agreement
will create the framework
and resources necessary to
allow for renovations to the
lodge and cottages, providing long-term sustainability. The facility is expected
to reopen as soon as September.
“We were at a crossroads
earlier this year,” said Zehringer. “We could have torn
down this ailing lodge, at
a $2 million expense. Instead, we opted to work
with state and local leaders to revitalize this once
great facility and make it
viable again. Our partnership with U.S. Hotels is an
important step in that direction.”
Pending Ohio Controlling Board approval, ODNR
will redirect the $2 million
needed to tear down the
structure toward capital
improvements, such as beginning electrical repairs
and renovations to lodge
rooms, common areas and
cabins.
“Burr Oak State Park
was established as a state
park in 1952, and the lodge
was dedicated 45 years ago
in April 1967,” said Zehringer. “We are committed
to making Burr Oak viable
once again.”
ODNR is seeking feedback from the local community on a business model to
ensure Burr Oak’s success.
A public discussion will be
held at the lodge on Thursday, Aug. 16 from 5-7 p.m.
All individuals are invited
to attend with their ideas.
Prior to closing, the Burr
Oak Lodge and Conference
Center employed 45 fulltime equivalent employees.
The lodge was the secondlargest employer in Morgan
County. Burr Oak State
Park covers Athens, Morgan and Perry counties.

Markets continue to
drift along with seemingly little conviction. This
could continue for a bit
before action ramps back
up toward the end of summer.
Volume has been low
and stocks have managed
to drift higher, despite
some volatile days; but
conviction appears to
be lacking. We seem to
be biding time until the
action heats back up as
summer winds down, but
market-moving events can
happen at any time.
The U.S. economy continues to slow and Fed
Chairman Bernanke had
a relatively dour outlook
before Congress, but it
appears things would
have to get worse before
another round of easing is
initiated — the effectiveness of which we continue
to question.
In contrast to the athletes in the Olympics that
are laser-focused on moving forward and achieving
their objectives, markets
seem to be caught in a sort
of summer malaise. Volume has been depressed
and sentiment surveys
show retail investor
skepticism at high levelsdespite stock market performance being relatively
decent this year, with the
S&P 500’s 8.5 percent
gain through July 20 the
best showing to this point
in the year since. But with
policymakers lacking the
discipline and focus of
Olympic athletes (the understatement of the year),
and continuing publicity
hits to the financial sector, we can’t blame inves-
tors for their doubts; and
determining what direction the next major move
will likely be more difficult than usual. Whenever
you get politicians and
the courts involved in the
financial picture, predictions become even more
difficult than usual, and
that’s saying something!
In this frustrating, unpredictable environment,
we find it helpful to take
a step back. Asset allocation continues to be
important and investors
need to pay attention to
their distribution of money relative to their time
horizon and risk tolerance. In this environment,
investors ignore their
portfolios at their peril as
things can and likely will
change quickly. We are
unlikely to see any resolution to the fiscal cliff
before the election. But if
you look out the five years
that we suggest is an appropriate time horizon for
equities, it’s difficult to
imagine that we’ll still be
dealing with these same
issues. And US equities
remain quite cheap based
on historical measures
and recently hit a cyclical
high in terms of relative
performance to most other global equity markets.
Our view that the US market will be the best relative performer through at
least the balance of 2012
has not changed.

Touchdown: NASA rover Curiosity lands on Mars
PASADENA, Calif. (AP)
— In a show of technological
wizardry, the robotic explorer
Curiosity blazed through the
pink skies of Mars, steering
itself to a gentle landing inside a giant crater for the most
ambitious dig yet into the red
planet’s past.
Cheers and applause echoed
through the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory late Sunday
after the most high-tech interplanetary rover ever built signaled it had survived a harrowing plunge through the thin
Mars atmosphere.
“Touchdown confirmed,”
said engineer Allen Chen.
“We’re safe on Mars.”
Minutes after the landing
signal reached Earth at 10:32
p.m. PDT, Curiosity beamed
back the first black-and-white
pictures from inside the crater
showing its wheel and its shadow, cast by the afternoon sun.
“We landed in a nice flat
spot. Beautiful, really beautiful,” said engineer Adam
Steltzner, who led the team
that devised the tricky landing
routine.
It was NASA’s seventh landing on Earth’s neighbor; many
other attempts by the U.S. and
other countries to zip past, circle or set down on Mars have
gone awry.
The arrival was an engineering tour de force, debuting
never-before-tried acrobatics
packed into “seven minutes
of terror” as Curiosity sliced
through the Martian atmosphere at 13,000 mph.
In a Hollywood-style finish,
cables delicately lowered the
rover to the ground at a snailpaced 2 mph. A video camera
was set to capture the most
dramatic moments — which
would give Earthlings their
first glimpse of a touchdown
on another world.
Celebrations by the mission
team were so joyous over the
next hour that JPL Director
Charles Elachi had to plead for
calm in order to hold a postlanding press conference. He
compared the team to athletic
teams that participate in the
Olympics.
“This team came back with
the gold,” he said.
The extraterrestrial feat injected a much-needed boost
to NASA, which is debating
whether it can afford another
robotic Mars landing this decade. At a budget-busting $2.5
billion, Curiosity is the priciest
gamble yet, which scientists
hope will pay off with a bonanza of discoveries and pave
the way for astronaut landings.
“The wheels of Curios-
ity have begun to blaze the
trail for human footprints
on Mars,” said NASA chief
Charles Bolden.
President Barack Obama
lauded the landing in a statement, calling it “an unprecedented feat of technology that
will stand as a point of national
pride far into the future.”
Over the next two years,
Curiosity will drive over to a
mountain rising from the crater floor, poke into rocks and
scoop up rust-tinted soil to see
if the region ever had the right
environment for microscopic
organisms to thrive. It’s the latest chapter in the long-running
quest to find out whether
primitive life arose early in the
planet’s history.
The voyage to Mars took
more than eight months and
spanned 352 million miles.
The trickiest part of the journey? The landing. Because
Curiosity weighs nearly a ton,
engineers drummed up a new
and more controlled way to set
the rover down. The last Mars
rovers, twins Spirit and Opportunity, were cocooned in
air bags and bounced to a stop
in 2004.
Curiosity relied on a series
of braking tricks, similar to
those used by the space shuttle, a heat shield and a super-
sonic parachute to slow down
as it punched through the atmosphere.
And in a new twist, engineers came up with a way to
lower the rover by cable from
a hovering rocket-powered
backpack. At touchdown, the
cords cut and the rocket stage
crashed a distance away.
The nuclear-powered Curiosity, the size of a small car,
is packed with scientific tools,
cameras and a weather station.
It sports a robotic arm with a
power drill, a laser that can zap
distant rocks, a chemistry lab
to sniff for the chemical building blocks of life and a detector
to measure dangerous radiation on the surface.
It also tracked radiation levels during the journey to help
NASA better understand the
risks astronauts could face on
a future manned trip.
Over the next several days,
Curiosity is expected to send
back the first color pictures.
After several weeks of health
checkups, the six-wheel rover
could take its first short drive
and flex its robotic arm.
The landing site near Mars’
equator was picked because
there are signs of past water
everywhere, meeting one of
the requirements for life as we
know it. Inside Gale Crater is
a 3-mile-high mountain, and
images from space show the
base appears rich in minerals
that formed in the presence of
water.
Previous trips to Mars have
uncovered ice near the Martian north pole and evidence
that water once flowed when
the planet was wetter and
toastier unlike today’s harsh,
frigid desert environment.
Curiosity’s goal: to scour for
basic ingredients essential for
life including carbon, nitrogen,
phosphorous, sulfur and oxygen. It’s not equipped to search
for living or fossil microorganisms. To get a definitive answer, a future mission needs
to fly Martian rocks and soil
back to Earth to be examined
by powerful laboratories.
The mission comes as

NASA retools its Mars exploration strategy. Faced with
tough economic times, the
space agency pulled out of
partnership with the European
Space Agency to land a rockcollecting rover in 2018. The
Europeans have since teamed
with the Russians as NASA decides on a new roadmap.

It’s past time to strengthen Ferrell-Galifianakis ticket
draws election year laughs
state oversight of fracking
Jake Coyle,
Katherine McFate
I first heard about fracking (the drilling of naturalgas wells using a method
known as hydraulic fracturing) in 2009 when environmental
advocates
charged that natural-gas
drilling could endanger
New York City’s water resources. I lived in the city
at that time, so the news
that natural-gas drilling
could threaten my drinking water was alarming.
Many other New Yorkers shared these concerns, and the question
of whether or not to allow
fracking in the state flared
into an ongoing political
battle, one being reenacted across the 30 states
where natural-gas drilling
is occurring. Nearly half
a million natural gas wells
are operating across the
country, with more than
313,000 in just six states:
New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia.
OMB Watch, a government
accountability group I lead, recently
published a new report
on fracking, The Right to
Know, the Responsibility to Protect, and what
we found is troubling.
Disclosure of chemicals
used in fracking is spotty
and incomplete. States
have begun to respond to
citizen complaints, but
no state requires enough
upfront collection of data
and monitoring of drilling operations to ensure
protection of local water
supplies.
Here’s how fracking
works: A well is drilled
thousands of feet vertically into the ground
(through the water table).
Then a horizontal hole is
drilled into a shale bed, extending laterally from the
first well bore. A “fracking” mixture comprised
of thousands of gallons of
water laced with sand and
toxic chemicals is pumped
into the well at extremely
high pressure. This fractures the shale rock, which
releases methane gas that
is captured and sold. Once
you visualize this process,
the potential risks of contamination to water supplies are obvious.
You’re probably thinking: Isn’t there a law
against poisoning water?
The answer is yes (the
Safe Drinking Water Act)
and no (a clause was inserted into the 2005 Energy Policy Act, exempting
natural-gas drilling from
that drinking water law).
Just as hydraulic fracturing was getting cheaper
and the demand and price
for natural gas was rising,
federal oversight was removed.
Our report examined actions state officials have or
have not taken to require
drillers to disclose chemicals used in fracking.
Roughly a dozen states
have passed a law or had
agencies establish a rule
requiring disclosure. But
there are two gaping holes
in these laws that render
them essentially toothless.
First, owners and operators of natural-gas wells
are not required to gather
baseline information on
sources and quality of
water near their planned
well sites before drilling.
Without baseline water
and air quality measurements, local communities
can’t test to see whether
water sources are being
contaminated. Measuring
before drilling occurs is
just common sense, but no
state requires this. Only
a few states even require
companies to report the
chemicals they’ll use before fracking begins.
Second, there’s a loophole built into most state
disclosure laws. Gas companies claim that fracking
chemicals are “trade secrets” and that releasing
details about the chemicals would disadvantage
them with their competitors. Pepsi and Coke publish the ingredients in
their products on every
can; producers of fracking chemicals can do the

Companies don’t want
to disclose the chemicals
they use because some
ingredients are known to
cause cancer, and others
cause long-term neurological and kidney disorders.
Yet without details on
the chemicals, authorities
and average citizens don’t
know what to test for.
It’s amazing that after
at least a thousand documented cases of poisoned
water, we still have so few
protections for water supplies. The obvious and
most effective solution is
to put natural-gas fracking
back under the oversight
of the national Safe Drinking Water Act.
But the gas industry is
powerful. We are subject
to a constant barrage of
commercials exalting natural gas as clean energy.
Industry campaign contributions cross party lines.
And the promise of cheap
domestic energy and new
jobs is seductive – especially in tough economic
times. But citizens across
the country are asking
questions and organizing
resistance.
America
has
been
blessed with an abundant
supply of water resources.
As citizens, we have a
right to know what chemicals are being pumped
into the ground near our
communities, and we have
a right to demand that our
government safeguard our
health and welfare. Water
is a collective, public resource upon which we all
rely. We can’t allow the
short-term quest for cheap
energy to permanently
damage one of the few elements we can’t live without. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to
demand more.

AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) —
“The Campaign” is a broad
comedy made from broad
intentions: Will Ferrell and
Zach Galifianakis simply
wanted to make a movie together.
In the film, which opens
Friday, they play two North
Carolina politicians competing in an increasingly
nasty Congressional race.
Galifianakis’
character
shoots Ferrell’s point blank
and his poll numbers go up.
That would seem hopelessly
extreme in its absurdity if
this wasn’t an election year
where real headlines have
often seemed the stuff of
high comedy.
It’s a ready-made concept
that pits two of the best comedians in movies against
each other for the first time
in a major project. In comedy, a Ferrell-Galifianakis
ticket is a winner in a landslide.
The two first crossed
paths at “Saturday Night
Live,” where Ferrell was a
veteran standout and Galifianakis was making a shortlived stint that wouldn’t last
three weeks.
“Hey Zach, have they told
you what you’re doing?”
Ferrell recalls saying to a
confused Galifianakis at the
time.
They hadn’t told him
— not an uncommon consequence of “SNL” boss
Lorne Michaels’ sometimes
inscrutable ways. To make
matters worse, Galifianakis
had come to the show under
the mistaken impression he
was to be a cast member —
the big break of his career
— when he was actually
hired as a writer.
His term at “SNL” was
remarkable only for an attempt to convince guest
host Britney Spears to do a
sketch in which, during an
“Entertainment Tonight”style interview, she inexplicably begins bleeding from
the mouth.
Ferrell would eventually exit “SNL” and launch
a very successful movie
career, while Galifianakis
continued with stand-up
and various projects before
“The Hangover,” too, made
him one of the most sought-
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the

accepted for publication.
after comics in Hollywood.
Ferrell, 45, approached
Galifianakis, 42, about
teaming up, and the two
quickly took to brainstorming. Their initial idea was to
do a male-centered version
of “Toddlers & Tiaras,” the
TLC show about child pageants.
“We were going to play
two dads, which would have
really been hard to pull off
because of the creep factor,”
Galifianakis said in a recent
joint interview with Ferrell.
Both recoil at the thought
of shooting such a comedy
while the Jerry Sandusky
scandal at Penn State was
playing out: “If we were in
the middle of shooting the
boy pageant movie?” says a
wide-eyed Ferrell. “Aye Toledo!”
It fell to Adam McKay,
the director and frequent
collaborator of Ferrell’s, and
a producer on “The Campaign,” to, like an exasperated parent, nix the boy
pageant idea. Instead, he
suggested a political comedy. For a short time, they
planned to make a movie
based on the campaign documentary “The War Room,”
with Ferrell as a candidate
and Galifianakis as a Karl
Rove-like adviser.
Then it was suggested,
“Why not be two competing
guys, do a broader, more
commercial comedy where
we can still have a point of
view,” Ferrell recalled.
They turned to filmmaker
Jay Roach, whose schizophrenic career as a director
of farcical comedies (“Austin Powers,” ”Meet the Parents”) and acclaimed HBO
based-on-real-life political
dramas (“Recount,” ”Game
Change”) made him a natural choice.
With little more than
the outline of a promising
concept that would match
the two comedians manoa-mano, the movie was
green lit with a production
schedule and a release date
that would lend the obvious
tie-in to the 2012 presidential election. The script by
Chris Henchy and Shawn
Harwell came later.
“Their chemistry is amazing, but it’s almost unlikely,”
says Roach. “They couldn’t
be more different in their
physicality, their attitudes.
Will’s so instantly accessible and then there’s other
things going on. Zach is
instantly inaccessible and
then there’s other things going on.”
From the start, it was
conceived as a platform for
Seth Galifianakis, the comedian’s fictional brother character, a sometimes racist
Southern effeminate with
a mustache (as opposed to
Galifianakis’ usual beard).
In the film, Galifianakis
plays a version of the character named Marty Huggins.
Knowing the setting was
North Carolina, Ferrell
found inspiration in former senator John Edwards,
albeit with shades of his
President George W. Bush
impression from “SNL.”
Part of the thrill of seeing Galifianakis and Ferrell
square off is that they seem
to have an offbeat rhythm
set to the same metronome.
Though they come from
different sides of the comedy spectrum (Galifianakis
from stand-up, Ferrell from
improv), they share an uncommon ability for stretching awkwardness beyond
the threshold of most.
“I have learned as a
stand-up it’s much better
for acting to go the way of
someone that has improv
training and pay attention
to that,” says Galifianakis.
“It is much better if it’s a
group effort. I always say
less is more, for me. I don’t
need to say a lot of things.
I don’t want to say a lot
of things. (in a whisper) I
don’t want to work.”
The two have worked together a few other times, including a memorable video
for Galifianakis’ beloved
Web series “Between Two
Ferns” and a tour for Funny
Or Die (the website Ferrell
co-founded) in 2008 that
played for college audiences
of thousands. In Ferrell’s
opening, Galifianakis and
other comics on the tour
played ninjas attacking him.
“It was like a rock show,”
Galifianakis recalls. “It was
like being in Toto.”
“Or DeBarge,” chimes
Ferrell.
“DeBarge,” Galifianakis
solemnly nods in agreement.

Steelworkers at W.Va. Constellium plant on strike
RAVENSWOOD, W.Va. (AP) —
About 700 union workers at Constellium Rolled Products in Jackson County
are on strike after contract negotiations
broke down.
The strike by members of United
Steelworkers Local 5668 began at 12:01
a.m. Sunday, media outlets reported.
Constellium said in a news release
that the union declined to present the
company’s latest contract offer to mem-
bers. Union workers rejected an earlier
five-year contract proposal in July and
had been working under an extension of
the old contract, which expired July 15.
Constellium said it dropped a requirement that workers would have to participate in a company health care plan and
pay 10 percent of total health care costs.
The company’s latest proposal would
have required workers to make monthly
contributions to their health care ben-
efits and share in future cost increases.
“We are extremely disappointed that
the Local 5668 negotiating committee
would not allow the membership the
opportunity to consider the company’s
offers and make an informed choice at
the ballot box,” Constellium Chief Executive Officer Kyle Lorentzen said in the
news release. “In my experience, that is
how the negotiating process works.”

including how closely the
chosen projects match the
survey of village resident
thoughts, matching funds

Wahama golfers open 2012 campaign
Bryan Walters
bwalters@heartlandpublications.com
The Wahama golf team started its 2012 season on a bit of
a tough note this weekend after
losing a Thursday dual to visiting Scott before placing seventh
out of 14 teams Friday at the
Wirt County Invitational.
The White Falcons were
missing four of their regular
six starters in the opener at
Riverside Golf Club, and the
Skyhawks took full advantage
by posting a 63-stroke decision
over the youthful hosts. Scott
— which posted a winning
team tally of 314 — was led by
medalist Sterling Chafin, who
carded a 6-over par round of 76
over 18 holes.
Chad Honeycutt and Alex
Boggs both shot matching
rounds of 78, and Matt Dolan
rounded out the winning score
with an effort of 82.
Michael MacKnight paced
Wahama with an 89, while Michael Hendricks added a 92. No-
lan Pierce and Preston Hudnall
rounded out the White Falcons’
team score of 377 with respective
efforts of 95 and 99.
On Friday at Wirt County, the
White Falcons again posted a
team tally of 377 — led by Dakota
Sisk’s round of 84. MacKnight
was next with a 92, Mason Hicks
added a 99 and Pierce rounded
out the team score with 102 over
18 holes.
Roane County won the team
title with a 299, with St. Marys
(315) edging Williamstown (316)
for the overall runner-up spot.
Wahama returns to action Tuesday when it hosts Buffalo at Riverside Golf Club.

Andy Murray of Great Britain celebrates after winning the men’s
tennis final over Switzerland’s Roger Federer in the Summer
Olympic Games at Wimbledon in London, England, Sunday, August 5, 2012.
Murray drubs Federer
for gold at Olympics
WIMBLEDON, England
(AP) — Andy Murray
stood with the Union Jack
draped over his shoulders,
an Olympic gold medal
around his neck, flanked
by the man he had just
beaten, Roger Federer, and
basking in the roar of the
Centre Court crowd.
No wonder the often
dour Scotsman was grinning.
Murray won one for the
home team Sunday, beating Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 in
the tennis final at Wimbledon.
The victory marked a
career breakthrough for
Murray. He has lost all
four of his Grand Slam finals, three against Federer,
including Wimbledon a
month ago.
“It has been the best
week of my tennis career
by a mile,” Murray said.
“I’ve had a lot of tough
losses. This is the best
way to come back from the
Wimbledon final. I’ll never
forget it.”
For Federer, the drubbing
marked
another
Olympic disappointment.
Playing in the games for
the fourth time, he sought
a victory to complete a career Golden Slam but settled for silver — his first
singles medal.
“Don’t feel too bad for
me,” Federer said. “I felt
like I won my silver, I
didn’t lose it. So I feel really happy.”
Murray swept nine consecutive games to take
control, breaking Federer’s
serve four times in a row,
his inspired play a reflection of raucous crowd support. He erased all nine
break points he faced.
“He never looked back,”
Federer said. “His credit
for getting in the lead and
using the crowd to come
through. He did an unbelievable job.”
The match capped the
most memorable Olympics
for tennis since it returned
to the games in 1988 after

Pat Shurmur
comfortable
with ex- coaches
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Pat Shurmur sure must be
secure in his abilities.
A first-time head coach
now in his second season leading the Cleveland
Browns, Shurmur comes
from a coaching family
with a strong NFL resume.
He has created what he
considers another family
of his own by hiring three
former head coaches on his
staff: Brad Childress, Dick
Jauron and Ray Rhodes.
And he works for one of
the most successful coaches in recent NFL history,
Browns President Mike
Holmgren. Now, to top it
all off, a new owner, too.
It can be a tricky dynamic. Should things go sour
— Cleveland was only 4-12
in Shurmur’s debut season
— there are experienced
replacements at the ready.
Not an issue, the 47-yearold Shurmur says.
“I don’t feel threatened
at all,” says Shurmur, who
had 12 years as a pro assistant, including two as
the Rams offensive coordinator, before taking on
the challenge of rebuilding
the Browns (No. 30 in the
AP Pro32). “It’s smart to
use all of the resources you
have, and these coaches
have tremendous knowledge and experience to offer.
“It’s extremely important
that you trust the guys you
hire. It’s very critical. You
bring them in to be part
of what you are trying to
achieve and they will have
an important role in that,
so the trust has to be there.
“A good staff needs to
have a good mix, whether
it’s guys with that experience or young guys coming
in. Every coach is better at

Ohio players Donte Harden, left, and A.J. Strum get ready to dump a water bucket on their coach, Franck Solich, while he’s

in Boise, Idaho.
Ohio aiming for MAC title
after near-miss in 2011
DETROIT (AP) — Frank Solich
and Ohio University fell two quarters short of a conference title last
year.
Now they’re eager to finish the
job.
The Bobcats led Northern Illinois
20-0 at halftime of last year’s MAC title
game but went on to lose 23-20. Ohio
hasn’t won a MAC title since 1968.
“We keep making strides,” said
Solich, the Bobcats’ coach. “We feel
really good because we’re surrounded by good people. We didn’t reach
some goals we had last year and our
guys know that.”
Ohio returns one of the league’s
top quarterbacks in Tyler Tettleton.
Ohio figures to be pushed by Miami
of Ohio and Bowling Green in the
MAC’s East Division. Toledo and
Northern Illinois still look like the
class of the West. They played one
of the most remarkable games in any
conference last year when Northern
Illinois outlasted the Rockets 63-60
in November.
Northern Illinois will have to defend its division title with a new
starting quarterback after Chandler
Harnish threw for 28 touchdowns as
a senior last season.
Temple, a football-only member
since 2007, left the MAC for the Big
East during the offseason and will be
replaced this fall by Massachusetts,
which debuts in the Football Bowl
Subdivision.
Terry Bowden, who spent the past
two seasons at Division II North
Alabama, is the new head coach at
Akron. Matt Campbell takes over at
Toledo after Tim Beckman left to
take the top job at Illinois.
A breakdown of the teams:
EAST
MIAMI (OHIO) — Key players:
QB Zac Dysert, WR Nick Harwel,
DE Austin Brown, CB Dayonne
Nunley. Returning starters: 8 offense, 7 defense.
Notes: Former walk-on RB Robert Williams III hasn’t had a varsity
carry but emerged from the spring
at the top of the depth chart. … Dysert ranks third behind Oklahoma’s
Landry Jones and Southern California’s Matt Barkley in career yards
passing (8,530) among active quarterbacks.
BOWLING GREEN — Key players: QB Matt Schilz, RB Athon Samuel, TE Alex Bayer, DT Chris Jones,
LB Dwayne Woods. Returning starters: 7 offense, 10 defense.
Notes: Shaun Joplin is the only returning receiver with a varsity catch.
… The first month of the season includes trips to Florida and Virginia
Tech.
OHIO — Key players: QB Tyler
Tettleton, DB Travis Carrie, OL Eric
Herman, K Matt Weller. Returning
starters: 6 offense, 8 defense.
Notes: The Bobcats are Penn
State’s first opponent. … Tettleton,
who set 12 new school records last
season, is the son of former major
league catcher Mickey Tettleton.
KENT STATE — Key players: DT
Roosevelt Nix, QB Spencer Keith,
DE Jake Dooley, RB Traylon Durham. Returning starters: 9 offense,
9 defense.
Notes: Nix was named to the preseason Outland, Lombardi and Nagurski award lists. … The Golden
Flashes return most of a unit that
finished second in total defense in
the MAC last season.
BUFFALO — Key players: RB
Branden Oliver, LB Khalil Mack,
DL Steven Means, DL Colby Way.
Returning starters: 8 offense, 8 defense.
Notes: Oliver is the MAC’s top returning rusher. … Four starters are
back on the offensive line. … Mack
had 5 1/2 sacks last season.
MASSACHUSETTS — Key
players: QB Kellen Pagel, TE Rob
Blanchflower, LB Percy McIntyre, S
Darren Thellen. Returning starters:
6 offense, 8 defense.
Notes: The Minutemen make
their FBS debut this fall under coach
Charley Molnar. … UMass will play
most of its home games at Gillette
Stadium in Foxboro, about 90 miles
from its main campus in Amherst. …
Pagel’s father, Mike, played 12 seasons in the NFL, mostly with Indianapolis.

Coroner: Signs point to ‘natural death’ for Urso
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A coroner said signs pointed to “an apparent
natural death” pending results from
toxicology tests and on other tissue
after an autopsy performed on Columbus Crew midfielder Kirk Urso on
Monday.
The 22-year-old Urso was pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m. Sunday at
Grant Medical Center after collapsing
at a downtown Columbus bar and restaurant.
Franklin County Coroner Jan Gorniak said toxicology tests will not be
finalized for four to six weeks.
“It’s leaning toward an apparent natural death, but we don’t know why,”
Gorniak said.
She said the autopsy revealed no
trauma to Urso’s body, along with no
blood clots. In addition to toxicology
tests, the coroner’s office will also take
a closer look at what Gorniak referred
See SHURMUR | 8
to as “heart changes.”
“What that means is we saw some
changes with his heart but we don’t
know what it is until we examine it
underneath the microscope,” she said.
“So it could be something or it could
be nothing. But it’s not definitive as a
cause of death right now.”
Urso played in six games with
the Crew and was rehabbing from a
sports-groin injury sustained in May.
He did not travel to the game at D.C.
United on Saturday night.
In a 9-1-1 call provided by police to
The Columbus Dispatch, an unidentified female says, “Officers are with
him. It’s a very drunk person who fell
down and now he’s unconscious.”
It is unclear if the speaker is affiliated with police, fire or an emergency
crew or if she is a bystander.
Major League Soccer observed a
moment of silence at both of its games
on Sunday.
“We are deeply saddened by the
death of Columbus Crew player Kirk
Urso,” MLS Commissioner Don
Garber said in a statement. “Major
League Soccer mourns his death and
sends our condolences to his family.”
Urso, an Illinois native, played for
and was the captain at North Carolina
last fall when it won the NCAA championship.
On the Tar Heels soccer team’s website, North Carolina athletic director
Bubba Cunningham said Urso’s former teammates and friends were devastated by the news of his death.
“In the very brief time I spent with
Kirk it became evident that he was
a natural leader,” Cunningham said.
“His enthusiasm was contagious to all
who knew him. He had a positive and
inspirational impact on his team, and
many other student-athletes at Carolina.”

a 64-year absence. The
event transformed staid
Wimbledon into a more
festive place.
Murray became the
first British man to win
the gold in singles since
Josiah Ritchie in 1908.
Those games took place at
Wimbledon, too.
In the day’s first match
on Centre Court, women’s
singles champion Serena
Williams teamed with sister Venus to win their
third career doubles gold
medal. They defeated Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie
Hradecka of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4 under the
retractable roof.
Murray settled for a silver in mixed doubles with
teammate Laura Robson.
They lost to Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi of
Belarus 2-6, 6-3, 1-0 (8).
Mike Bryan won his second medal of the weekend
when he and U.S. teammate Lisa Raymond took
the bronze in mixed doubles, which was back in the
Olympics for the first time
since 1924. Bryan and his
brother Bob won the gold
in men’s doubles Saturday.
Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova of Russia took
the bronze in women’s
doubles, while Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina
won the bronze in men’s
singles.
Rafael Nadal, the 2008
gold medalist in singles,
tweeted his congratulations to this year’s medalists.
“Especially to Andy,”
said Nadal, sidelined with
a recurring knee injury. “I
can imagine the joy of doing it at home.”
Murray had the crowd’s
support
even
playing
against the beloved Federer. The roof opened
shortly before the match,
and Federer — winner of
seven Wimbledon titles
— walked onto the sunsplashed grass to a standing ovation.
Then Murray entered,

gether in the basement of
the old Vet, listening to
the cats chasing the rats
through the rafters before
we moved to NovaCare and
to Lincoln Financial Field.
We had common problems
we had to deal with there,”
Childress says, laughing at
the memories.
Coaching is all about
solving common problems.
Unfortunately, not all staffs
have that common team
goal. It’s like in rowing: If
everyone in the boat isn’t
in synch, the race is lost.
The situation can be particularly dicey when a lessexperienced man in charge
has former head coaches
working under him. That
dynamic existed in Kansas
City, for example, last year.
Shurmur isn’t worried in
the least. Nor should he be,
Childress says.
“I work for Pat. I like
working with Pat. I had
an idea how he wanted to
do it; we’re trained in the
same system,” says the
56-year-old Childress, a
West Coast offense disciple like Shurmur.
As for future head coaching aspirations: “I don’t
have any, it’s more of a
‘I’ve been there, done that.’
If it happens, great, but I
am here strictly to be the
offensive coordinator for
the Cleveland Browns and
to help us win and to help
Pat win. We can best do
that with the staff we have
here: All ships rise with a
rising tide.”
As long as there is one
captain. Shurmur is that
captain.
Holmgren knew Shurmur through Shurmur’s
uncle, Fritz, one of the
top defensive coordinators in football for years.
Seeing the quick development of Sam Bradford as
a rookie with the Rams
under Shurmur’s tutelage
— and knowing he needed
a savvy offensive coach to
oversee the reconstruction project in Cleveland
— Holmgren hired the former finance major who has
a master’s degree but has
written only two checks in
22 years; Shurmur lets his
wife, Jennifer, handle the
family business.
Childress mentions how
Shurmur tried his hand
in the business world, but
had coaching in his veins.
“Pat is a smart guy who
could have sat in a cubicle
with his computer and
been a big (success),” Childress says. “He jumped off
into IBM, but he got the
wisdom of, ‘I can’t do this,
I want to coach.’ And here
he is.”
But for how long? That
question can be asked of
any head coach outside
of Bill Belichick. In Shurmur’s case, there are several particular obstacles he
needs to deal with:
— The sale of the Browns
to Jimmy Haslam III. New
owners often want to bring
in their own people.
— The heavy emphasis
on youth on the Browns.
Running
back
Trent
Richardson, quarterback
Brandon Weeden, tackle
Mitchell Schwartz and receiver Josh Gordon, a supplemental pick, could form
the foundation for future
Cleveland teams. But rookies take time to develop.
— Life in the AFC
North, possibly the NFL’s
toughest division. Baltimore, Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati all made the
playoffs last season, have
entrenched and successful
coaching staffs and bruising defenses.
Intimidating? Not to
Shurmur. No more so than
having all those former
head coaches in the building.
“In a way, it all becomes
like a family coming back
together with a little different set of ideas that you
use and implement,” he
says. “My dad (Joe) said
to try to find a profession
that’s a hobby, and so you
always enjoy doing it and
will find a way to be good
at it.
“But regardless, you
have to show up. You have
to put in the work, and
compete. That’s what we
are doing here.”

roar.
At the far end of the All
England Club, thousands
of fans with grounds passes enjoyed a carnival atmosphere on the picnic hill
known as Murray Mount
while watching the match
on a huge video screen.
Federer wore red and
Murray blue in the most
colorful tournament ever
held at Wimbledon. Their
tactics were also in sharp
contrast.
Murray returned aggressively to repeatedly put
Federer on the defensive
when serving. Federer
tried to come forward
more than in any match
this summer, but Murray
answered with a succession of crisp passing shots
for winners.
“Andy looked like he was
never doubting himself,”
Federer said. “He had a
clear plan.”
The fans loved it, waving British flags of all
sizes. “An-dy! An-dy” they
chanted. They applauded
when Federer won a point,
but they boomed when
Murray won one.
And the bounces seemed
to go Murray’s way. One of
his service breaks came
when he hit winners that
clipped the net cord on
successive points. But
then the net, after all, was
British.
Altogether
Federer
dropped serve five times,
surprising anywhere but
especially on grass. He
also lost 15 of 33 points
when he went to the net,
often watching groundstrokes by Murray whiz
past out of reach.
“That’s the best part of
his game,” Federer said.
“If he doesn’t do those
passing shots, he’s not going to win gold.”
The impassive Swiss
showed little frustration
as the match slipped away.
Instead, it was Murray
tossing his racket in the
second set when he made
a rare error.
Otherwise, Murray had
little to get upset about.
When he netted an easy
forehand on break point
early in the match, he
laughed at his mistake.
“I felt so fresh,” he said.
“I didn’t feel nervous really
at all, apart from at the beginning of the match.”
He won with plenty
of flair and a succession
of spectacular shots. A
lunging backhand pass
in the corner had fans on
their feet. And he erased
a break point with an acrobatic leaping overhead,
followed by an improbable
reflex volley winner after
Federer fired at him from
point-blank range.
Murray fell behind 1540 serving in the opening
game but rallied to hold,
and from 2-all he took
charge, winning every
game until 5-0 in the second set.
Federer struggled to
hold but had many chances
to break, including in the
third game of the second
set, a marathon that lasted
for 20 points. He held six
break points but Murray
erased them all and won
the game on an errant
Federer backhand, one of
many.
“If those points had
gone a different way, it
could have been a different
match,” Murray said.
Federer, taxed by his 1917 third-set semifinal win
Friday, couldn’t summon
a comeback. Murray hurried to the finish line, winning 20 of 21 points on his
serve in the final set.
He reached match point
with an ace, then hit another at 131 mph to seal
the win. He briefly sank
toward the turf, then rose
to share a warm embrace
with a smiling Federer.
“I was very happy for
him,” Federer said. “It’s a
long time coming for him,
and he did great.”
Murray climbed into the
player box to share hugs
with friends and family. He
then leaped back onto the
court, and when he threw
a final knockout punch,
the crowd roared one more
time.
From Page 6
certain things than others,
and you use all of that to
help your team.”
Helping the Browns
emerge from a funk that
has lasted nearly since returning to the NFL in 1999
— two winning records,
one short playoff appearance — intrigued Jauron,
the former head coach of
the Bears, Bills and, on an
interim basis, the Lions.
He began coaching in the
NFL in 1985 after an eightseason playing career.
His success as a head
coach has been minimal
(60-83), but he is considered one of the sharpest
defensive minds in the
game.
“The fact they have not
had a lot of success here
was interesting to me,” the
61-year-old Jauron says. “I
like to be a part of building
something and that is what
I see coach Pat doing here.
I think it’s a lot of fun and a
great challenge.
“Pat is clearly in charge.
He has a strong personality
and a great football mind.
He is the guy. (Shurmur
feeling threatened) has
never been an issue and
won’t be with any (coaches). When he wants info,
he will ask for it and we
readily provide it. There
is nothing like (undermining) here.”
But it does exist on some
teams, as Childress notes.
Childress has had one stint
as a head coach, nearly
getting the Vikings to the
Super Bowl in the 2009
season. But everything fell
apart in 2010, including
the unthinkable: Brett Favre getting hurt and missing starts. Childress was
fired 10 games into that
season.
Shurmur was eager to
hook up again with Childress, with whom he
worked on the Eagles, but
felt Childress needed some
time away from football.
He hired Childress this
year after Childress sat out
2011.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Aug. 7, 2012:
This year you are full of energy and
easily could become frustrated. Be
verbal, and ask for more feedback.
You are likely to lose your temper
more than usual. Others could be
taken aback as a result. Choose your
words with care; otherwise, you could
cause yourself more problems. If you
are single, you find yourself drawn
to a suitor who might be emotionally
unavailable. A friendship could develop into more. If you are attached, the
two of you would enjoy scheduling a
long-desired trip. Do so, and you will
become closer. Be respectful of each
other’s differences. ARIES makes a
fun friend.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Once more, you are nearly
unstoppable with your high energy. In
fact, if someone stands in your way,
you might feel like a freight train about
to run him or her over. As a result you
could become irritable and difficult.
Tonight: Whatever is your pleasure.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH You can express your feelings in a manner that lets you be
heard. However, only someone who
really cares about you might listen
intently. You would be wise to say
very little at this moment — just wait
for the right time. Tonight: Not to be
found.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH You might want to look at
a friendship in a new light. Somehow,
others are not coming from the same
place as you. You actually might feel
pressured by a very assertive friend.
Keep your chin up. Tonight: Where
the action is.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Venus moves into your
sign today, adding extra allure and
desirability. You find that others keep
asking you to assume more responsibility in their lives. For some people,
this request is authentic. For others,
it is an excuse to have you closer.
Tonight: Till the wee hours.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Your fiery ways make a big
difference with many people. Some
people are intimidated by your energy, yet others find it to be contagious.
Take comments with a grain of salt.
Be careful of a new person you meet
today. Tonight: Try something totally
new.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You could be encouraged
to deal with one individual directly. A
sense of insecurity marks your interactions. You might feel pushed to the
max. You’ll gain a sense of well-being
by handling this important matter.
Tonight: Keep togetherness in mind.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH You know what is going
on, but you can’t isolate yourself from
dealing with the matter at hand. A
situation could become increasingly
difficult to handle. Perhaps you need
to let go rather than try to take control.
Someone lets you know how much
he or she appreciates your efforts.
Tonight: Sort through ideas.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Realize that you are limited
when it comes to how much you can
accomplish. Understand what is happening with an associate or acquaintance you deal with on a daily basis.
Open up to new thoughts and different approaches. Tonight: Easy works.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You could be torn between
two options. One allows you to feel
much freer. The other one demands
a certain amount of self-discipline. A
child or new friend pulls you into a
fun situation. Go along for the ride.
Tonight: Let off some steam.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You could be directly
impacted by another’s energy. He or
she could be very pushy. For whatever reason, you think you need to
step up to the plate and establish
your boundaries. Just don’t allow a
situation to become too demanding.
Tonight: Happy to head home.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Your words have punch to
them — much more than you think.
Turn around and observe the reactions around you, then you will realize
your power. Do not withdraw, but try
to take a more nurturing approach.
Listen to what is being shared.
Tonight: Share dinner with a pal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Someone you care about
might be unusually affectionate.
Nevertheless, dealing with an associate or partner tests your limits and
helps you stay grounded. Negativity
is contagious, or so you’ll discover.
Tonight: Treat yourself well.
