Congressman addresses economic issues
Charlene Hoeflich
choeflich@mydailysentinel.com
POMEROY — “It’s people like
you who can get the economy going,
not Washington,” said Congressman
Bill Johnson (R-Ohio 6th District)
when he addressed about two dozen
business owners and community
leaders gathered in the conference
room of the new Farmers Bank
building Tuesday afternoon.
Johnson was talking about
small businesses and their role
in job creation and how the government through inactivity or
restrictive legislation creates uncertainty for business owners and
hinders development and growth.
“We’re headed in the wrong direction,” he said. “Unemployment
is said to be 8.3 percent, but in
reality it’s more like 14 or 15 percent, and it’s small businesses that
create about 60 percent of the jobs
in America. Yet proposed legislation will hinder the development
of small businesses.” He mentioned the president’s proposal to
raise taxes on those with incomes
of $250,000 or more, the people
he described as the “job creators.”
“What we need is common sense
regulations,” said Johnson, making mention of the steel manufacturing industry and the proposed
environmental regulations on the
use of certain production materials which if passed will result in
the loss of many jobs and contribute to the economic decline, and
also create a decrease in the production of materials needed for
our national security. “It’s almost
like we have forgotten what innovation means to our country. We
can solve environmental issues as
they arise,” he commented.
Johnson talked about the lack
of compromise in Washington.
“We’ve (House of Representatives) passed legislation and sent

RACINE — A 5K run/
walk will be held this Friday
in memory of the late John
“JJ” Gray.
Gray, who was a student
in the Southern High School
Class of 2013, passed away
as the result of a car accident nearly one year ago.
Gray was a member of the
football and track teams at
Southern.
Funds raised through the
event will go toward the
John Gray Memorial Scholarship.
The 5K run/walk will be
held at 9:45 p.m. on Friday,
Aug. 10, at Star Mill Park in
Racine. Registration will be
held from 6-9:30 p.m. on the
night of the race.
Kody Wolfe, who is helping to organize the event,
said there are approximately 100 participants already
registered to take part.
This is the first year for
the run/walk, with plans to
make it an annual event.
Wolfe said that the plan
was to make the event oneof-a-kind, something that is
being accomplished in several ways. A DJ will be on

Curiosity sends back
new views from Mars
PASADENA, Calif. (AP)
— NASA’s latest adventure
to Mars has given the world
more than just glimpses of a
new alien landscape.
It opened a window into
the trip itself, from video footage of the landing to a photo
of the rover hanging by a parachute to a shot of discarded
spacecraft hardware strewn
across the surface. And the
best views — of Mars and
the journey there — are yet to
come.
“Spectacular,” mission deputy project scientist Joy Crisp
said of the footage. “We’ve not
had that before.”
Since parking itself inside
an ancient crater Sunday
night, the Curiosity rover
has delighted scientists with
views of its new surroundings, including the 3-mile-high
mountain it will drive to. It
beamed back the first color
picture Tuesday revealing a
tan-hued, pebbly landscape
and the crater rim off in the
distance.
Locale aside, Curiosity is
giving scientists an unprecedented sense of what it took to
reach its Martian destination.
The roving laboratory sent
back nearly 300 thumbnails
that NASA processed into a
low-quality video showing the
last 2 1/2 minutes of its whiteknuckle dive through the thin
Martian atmosphere.
In the video, the protective
heat shield pops off and tumbles away. The footage gets
jumpy as Curiosity rides on
a parachute. In the last scene,
dust billows up just before
landing.
NASA twice tried to record
a Mars landing. In 1999, the
Mars Polar Lander carried
similar gear, but it slammed
into the south pole after
prematurely shutting off its
engines. Another effort was
aborted in 2008 during the
Phoenix lander’s mission to
the northern plains when mission managers decided not to
turn it on for fear it would interfere with the landing.
“It’s too emotional for me,”
said Ken Edgett of the Malin
Space Science Systems, which
operates the video camera.
“It’s been a long journey and
it’s really awesome.”
The full high-resolution video will be downloaded when
time allows and should give
the first peek of a landing on
another planet.
Curiosity’s journey to Mars
spanned eight months and
352 million miles. The rover
gently touched down Sunday
night after executing an elaborate and untested landing routine. The size of a compact car,
it was too heavy to land using
air bags. Instead, it relied on a
heat shield, parachute, rockets
and cables to lower it to the
ground.
During its seven-minute
plunge through the atmosphere, Curiosity shed the
spacecraft parts. On Tuesday,
scientists got their first view
of the castoffs. The eagle-eyed
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
had circled over the landing
site and spotted Curiosity and
the scattered parts.
“It’s like a crime scene photo,” said Sarah Milkovich, a
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist.
The parachute appeared
to be inflated, and the rocket
stage that unspooled the cables crashed 2,100 feet from
the landing site.
Earlier this week, the
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter caught Curiosity sailing
through the Martian skies
under a parachute. It was only
the second time a spacecraft
has been photographed on a
parachute; the first was Phoenix during its descent to the
surface.
The nuclear-powered, sixwheel Curiosity will spend the
next two years chiseling into
rocks and scooping up soil
at Gale Crater to determine
whether the environment
ever had the right conditions
for microbes to thrive. It will
spend a chunk of its time driving to Mount Sharp where images from space reveal signs of
past water on the lower flanks.
It’ll be several weeks before it takes its first drive and
flexes its robotic arm. Since
landing, engineers have been
busy performing health checkups on its systems and instruments. Early Wednesday, a
flood of black-and-white pictures of the Martian horizon
and rover’s deck poured in,
which NASA will use to stitch
together a panorama. Over
the next several days, Curiosity was poised to send back
even better pictures, including
a 360-degree color view.
The rover was “still in great
shape,” mission manager Michael Watkins said.

Voters around Ohio FBI: Temple gunman shot himself
reject school taxes
Man charged with
murder in wife’s
hospital death
AKRON, Ohio (AP) —
A man accused of shooting his wife of 45 years in
a hospital intensive care
unit in what may have
been a mercy killing was
charged Wednesday with
aggravated murder, and
his attorney said the man
always acted out of love.
John Wise appeared
before a municipal court
judge in Akron via video from jail Wednesday
morning. No plea was entered. He must return to
court Aug. 22.
Wise, who lived with
his wife in Massillon, is
accused of shooting her
at her bedside in the ICU
unit of Akron General
Medical Center Saturday.
She died the next morning.
His attorney, Paul Adamson, said after the
brief court session that
the unfolding case would
show Wise acted out of
love.
“I’m thoroughly convinced he’s a good man.
I think his past history
bears that out,” Adamson
said.
“Forty-five years of
marriage, blessed to be
deeply in love with his
wife throughout those 45
years, and I am absolutely
confident that everything
that he’s ever done for his
wife has been done out of
deep love, including the
events that just recently
transpired.”
Wise appeared in court
Tuesday and was apparently confused about initially being charged only
with attempted murder,
asking “Is she not dead?”
Visiting Judge Marvin
Shapiro told Wise that he
would soon have an attorney who could answer his
questions.
Prosecutors upgraded
the charge to aggravated
murder after an autopsy
showed that Barbara
Wise died from a gunshot
wound to her head. A
county medical examiner
ruled her death a homicide.
Nurses on the hospital
floor where Barbara Wise
had been in critical condition in the ICU for several
days at first thought an
oxygen tank had exploded
when they heard a popping sound, a 911 caller
told a dispatcher.
A woman, who identified herself as a nurse,
said she and others looked
into the room and saw
a man dressed in black.
“We saw him sitting there
with a gun. He was, like,
loading it,” she said.
The caller said she
didn’t know if anybody
had been shot, but she
heard screaming as she
hid in a room.
Why Barbara Wise was
in the hospital hasn’t
been released.
Emergency personnel
responded to the Wises’
home a week before the
shooting for a medical call
that involved advanced
life support, including
oxygen and a heart monitor. Hospital and emergency officials have said
they can’t disclose any information about patients
because of privacy rules.
Wise entered the hospital on Saturday through
the main entrance and
went up to his wife’s

Republicans blast Obama as left of Clinton
DES MOINES, Iowa
(AP) — Mitt Romney and
fellow Republicans held
up an unlikely role model
— Democrat Bill Clinton — as they teamed up
Wednesday to denounce
President Barack Obama’s
welfare policy and portray
him as too far left to be
re-elected.
Obama is “the antiClinton,” declared former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich, bolstering a line of
attack taken up by Romney in speeches and a TV
ad as part of a hard sell to
working-class voters.
Obama was focusing his
pitch on the same group
Wednesday, and also
reaching out to women,
whose support is essential
to his prospects in November. The president was appearing in Colorado with
college student Sandra
Fluke, whose congressional testimony became a
flashpoint for arguments
over contraception, abortion and women’s health
care.
At a morning rally in
Iowa, Romney repeated
his charge that Obama is
stripping work requirements from welfare and
instituting changes to
“make America more of a
nation of government dependency.”
Obama’s campaign says
Romney is misrepresenting a change that simply
gives more freedom to
states that requested it to
help deal with paperwork.
But Gingrich, whose own
bid for the GOP nomination was quashed by Romney, argued that the administration’s willingness
to weigh state requests
for waivers amounts to a
back-door maneuver to
undermine the 1996 law
signed by Clinton.
“Clinton was trying to
move the party to the center,” Gingrich told reporters, referring to the Democratic Party. “Obama is
trying to move it to the
left.”
The former president
himself weighed in. Clinton said in a statement
Tuesday that the assertion in Romney’s ad was
“not true.”
The effort to cleave
Obama from a popular
policy of Clinton’s presidency comes just weeks
before the former president is scheduled to appear as a crowd-rousing,
marquee speaker at the
Democratic National Convention.
The welfare issue as
pushed by the Romney
campaign appeared to
be aimed at blue-collar
whites in a weak economy
and suggested that Obama
might be gaining ground
politically with his position on taxes.
In lambasting Obama
for failure to bring a
faster economic recovery,
Romney also took a crack
at California’s budget
troubles.
“Entrepreneurs
and
business people around
the world and here at
home think that at some
point America is going
to become like Greece or
like Spain or Italy or like
California — just kidding
about that one, in some
ways,” he said to laughter
from the Iowa crowd.
After the Des Moines
rally, Romney was headed
to New Jersey to raise
more money for his already sizable campaign
accounts. On his way to
the airport, the former
Massachusetts
governor stopped to visit a
corn field and talk with
a farmer about the severe
drought gripping much of
the nation.
Obama was heading
westward to Colorado to
make his case to workingclass voters and women.
The setting for the
comments mattered, too.
Romney was campaigning
in Iowa, where six electoral votes are up for grabs.
Strategists from both parties envision a close election in the state that, in
some ways, launched both
Romney and Obama.
Four years ago, Obama
won Iowa’s leadoff Democratic caucuses en route
to his party’s presidential
nomination. He went on
to carry Iowa in the general election against Republican Sen. John McCain.
Yet when Obama won
the state four years
ago, Democrats had a
105,000-voter
registration advantage. Republicans now hold a 21,589
voter advantage and are
more bullish about their
chances.
Romney, too, won his
party’s Iowa caucuses
— at least for a while.
Election officials later reversed the call and gave
former Sen. Rick Santo-
rum the upset. By then, sity student who gained

issue results Tuesday
around the state indicated
a trend of voter rejection.
Many Ohio schools have
been struggling to balance
their budgets after state
funding cuts and falling
property tax revenues in a
rough economy that makes
it more difficult to pass
levies.
Among more than a
dozen other rejections was
for Buckeye Valley schools
in fast-growing Delaware
County in central Ohio.
Voters turned down an income tax increase and $30
million bond issue, while
voters in Licking County’s
North Fork Schools rejected an earned-income
tax. Groveport Madison
schools in central Ohio
gained passage of a levy.
Three of five school levies failed in districts near
Dayton, in southwest
Ohio, while voters rejected school issues in three

an elusive motive that might provide
answers to devastated Sikh families,
as well as valuable information about
white supremacists?
At the moment, detectives are sifting through the gunman’s life, assembling the biography of a man who
apparently had few relatives, a spotty
work history and a thin criminal record. They have warned they might
never learn for certain what drove
him to attack total strangers in a holy
place. Carlson said Wednesday that investigators have not found any kind of

MONROE, Ohio (AP)
— Voters in the latest Ohio
school district to fall into
fiscal emergency have rejected a tax levy, leaving it
among more than a dozen
districts around the state
facing new cutbacks after
tax issues failed in special
elections.
Unofficial results in Butler and Warren counties
for Tuesday’s vote showed
Monroe Schools’ levy losing by 80 votes: 1,131,
or 52 percent, against,
to 1,051 for. The district
along Interstate 75 in
southwest Ohio was declared in fiscal emergency
in May because of operating deficit of $2.2 million
and a bond retirement debt
of $3.2 million.
Tuesday’s 7.05-mill operating tax levy would have
raised some $2.5 million
a year while costing the
owner of a $100,000 home
$246 a year. Monroe officials have said they will go
to voters again in November, while continuing to
make cuts in staff and programs. Monroe is among
six Ohio districts in fiscal
emergency, meaning they
are under supervision of a
state-appointed board that
will oversee cuts and develop a plan for long-term
solvency.

no judge to hand down a sentence.
Wade Michael Page is dead, having

detectives have interviewed more than

Can anything be said? Governors aside, feds begin
building health care markets
Michael Minch
Can anything be said in
the wake of the most recent
murderous eruption, this
time in Aurora, Colorado? On
one hand, many people jump
forward quickly with new laments, calls for greater gun
control, appeals against such
control, and frankly, everything we’ve heard so many
times before. Others, on the
other hand, are offended by
the very idea that we would
try to answer the question
of why such violence occurs.
To suggest that explanations
might exist, seems, for them,
a move toward affixing blame
somewhere close to their own
values, interests, and lifestyles. They are people who
tell us that murderers alone
are to blame for murders. Period. This view is a preemptive strike against calls for,
and criteria of, accountability
and moral maturity.
I believe there are six variables that exist in unique combination in the United States
that collectively make gun
violence the national disgrace
it has become. These variables are closely related, but
distinct. Together, they form
a deadly cocktail of death
and grief. We have a freakishly high rate of ownership
(still more guns than people)
compared to all societies not
engaged in explicit sub-state
war. Guns are also bizarrely
easy to acquire in the U.S.
The majority of Americans
want better (and yes, this
means “more”) gun control.
NRA “leaders,” the radical
zealots and rhetoricians who
pull us deeper into a culture of
death, are out of step with the
country. The bumper sticker
reads, of course, “Guns don’t
kill people. People kill people.” But the other one reads
with equal truth and clarity,
“As a matter of fact, guns do
kill people.” I don’t know
about you, but I would rather
have a psychopath coming at
me with a bat or knife, than
a gun. I’d even prefer facing
a sidearm with a small clip
instead of a military assault
weapon. This commonsense
may be coming more common, the NRA-inflicted radicals notwithstanding.
Second, we not only live
in a society with many guns
and easy access to them; but
we are embedded in a culture
that tells us—daily—that
guns have a glorious history
of serving as problem-solving
tools, and that violence is
often needed to solve our
problems. The United States
is infamous for its violence.
We have prosecuted, joined,
and promoted many wars in
our short history, we lead the
world in arms manufacture
and trade, we spend nearly
as much on our military than
does the rest of the world
combined, and we have approximately 1,000 military
installations outside the U.S.
around the globe. It is embedded into our collective
consciousness that guns solve
problems, and that we Americans are a pragmatic, problem
solving, “can do!” people.
Third, and much related to
the variable above, we valorize violence. Violence not
only solves problems, so our
teachers, textbooks, memorials, and politicians tells us—
we engage in particular forms
of glorification of violence (it
is one thing to use a tool, it is
another to glory in its use). I
invoke the Hebrew and biblical concept of “glory” which
at its core means “presence.”
We make violence present
to ourselves in various ways,
where that presence is not
one of lament, necessity,
risk, or regret; but is characterized by celebration, even
fun. Much has been written
about this, little unpacking of
the point is necessary. Video
games. Movies. Television.
Stories of heroism and sacrifice in our national myths.
Chris Hedges has reminded
us powerfully that War is a
Force that Gives Us Meaning.
Political theorists and actors
have known since antiquity
that a powerful way to forge
unity in a tribe or society is
to identify, and monger fear
about, a common enemy.
This simply makes us feel
better about ourselves. And
back to video games, it is no
surprise that the young people sitting behind consoles
in the U.S. with joysticks in
their hands, guiding drones
in their murderous missions,
are operating equipment designed to look and feel just
like the toys they grew up
playing. Blurring the line between virtually killing people
and actually killing them is
just one way our taxes have
gone to work.
Fourth, we are (and perhaps increasingly so) a culture of anomie. Christopher
Lasch wrote about our culture of “diminishing expectations,” and Walker Percy

told us, upon publishing The
Thanatos Syndrome, that precisely because we can walk
into any bookstore and find
shelves of “life-affirming”
books, we should know that
there is very much death
around us. We Americans
are increasingly desperate,
depressed, distracted, and
drifting. We handle our malaise through various forms
of sedation, entertainment,
and violence turned both
inward and outward. In a
word, we are less happy and
less able to cope than most
other peoples who live above
desperate poverty. Columbia University’s 2012 World
Happiness Report ranks the
U.S. as the planet’s 23rd happiest country (since we tell
ourselves that happiness is
purchasable, and we’re the
world’s richest country, our
unhappiness reveals the lie of
consumerism=happiness).
Fifth, we are a culture of
fear. We are fear-based creatures as surely as we are carbon-based. Read Genesis 3,
the primordial Legend of our
Fall, and notice how animated
by fear our first parents were.
Notice the central role given
to our fear in the construction
of Hobbes’s social contract in
his seminal Leviathan. In its
current iteration, the Republican Party is most fundamentally, the Party of Fear. In the
GOP, fear comes before and
runs deeper than commitment to fiscal sanity, easily
demonstrable by the strident
call for spending cuts everywhere except ‘defense’. Fear
generates
disillusionment,
dismay, and destruction. It
births resentment, anger, bigotry, tribalism, xenophobia,
greed, and various centrifugal
and centripetal forms of ugliness. In this time of economic
insecurity, and loss of hope in
authorities and institutions,
those on the right constantly
tell us how fearful we should
be, and their calls to fear are
too often obeyed.
Last, in our society, as in all
others, are found many persons who suffer from mental,
psychological, and emotional
deficit. Here, as elsewhere,
many live lives marked by
pathology, dis-ease, dis-integration, and various kinds of
mental, emotional, and spiritual loss. Many are dysfunctionally lacking wholeness
and health.

WASHINGTON — Don’t
look now: The feds may be gaining on GOP governors who’ve
balked at carrying out a key part
of President Barack Obama’s
health care overhaul law.
Opponents of the law say
they won’t set up new private
health insurance markets
called exchanges. But increasingly it’s looking like Washington will just do it for them.
That means federal officials
could be calling the shots on
some insurance issues that
states traditionally manage,
from handling consumer complaints to regulating plans that
will serve many citizens.
Unless Mitt Romney wins in
November, that could turn into
a political debacle for those
dug in to fight what they denounce as “Obamacare.”
“You’re kind of rolling the
dice if you think (Obama’s
health care law) will go away,”
said Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, a
Republican. If Romney can’t
make good on his vow to repeal the overhaul, “you are just
giving up a lot of authority.”
The law envisioned that
states would run the new markets, or exchanges, with federal control as a fallback only.
But the fallback now looks as
if it will become the standard
option in about half the states
— at least initially.
It would happen through
something called the federal
exchange, humming along
largely under wraps on a tight
development schedule overseen by the Health and Human
Services Department in Washington.
Exchanges are online markets in which individual consumers and small businesses
will shop for health insurance
among competing private
plans. The Supreme Court’s
health care decision left both
state exchanges and the federal
option in place.
The exchanges are supposed to demystify the process
of buying health insurance,
allowing consumers to make
apples-to-apples comparisons.
Consumers will also be able to
find out whether they’re eligible for new federal subsidies to
help pay premiums, or whether they qualify for expanded
Medicaid.
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of
grievances.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All
letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include
address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will
be published.
Letters should be in good taste, addressing
issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be
accepted for publication.
It’s all supposed to work in
real time, or close to it, like
online travel services. Open
enrollment would start a little
over a year from now, on Oct.
1, 2013, with coverage kicking
in the following Jan. 1.
Eventually more than 25
million people are expected to
get coverage through exchanges, including many who were
previously uninsured. As exchanges get more customers,
competition among insurance
plans could help keep costs in
check.
But only 14 states and Washington, D.C., have adopted
plans for their own exchanges:
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Nevada, New
York, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Utah, Vermont, Washington
and West Virginia. Some could
still backtrack.
Kentucky and Minnesota
are pushing forward with their
own exchanges, and others
may be able to partner with
the federal government. States
face a Jan. 1, 2013, deadline for
Washington to sign off on their
plans.
Meanwhile, the federal exchange is advancing.
HHS contractors are working feverishly to design and
test computer systems that
would make the federal exchange come alive. It’s a top
priority for the Obama administration, which is guarding the
details closely. Estimated price
tag: at least $860 million.
The government is “on
track in moving aggressively
to set up this market structure,” Mike Hash, the HHS
official overseeing the effort,
told industry representatives,
state officials and public policy
experts at a recent Bipartisan
Policy Center conference.
“We’re on track … to go live in
the fall of 2013.”
“I think the pressure is on
them to deliver, and I fully
expect they will,” said Jon
Kingsdale, who was the founding director of the nation’s first
health insurance exchange,
created under then-Gov. Romney’s health care overhaul in
Massachusetts.
Now a consultant to states,
Kingsdale says he expects the
federal exchange to look very
much like the one already operating in his home state.
There will be a website, and
you’ll be able to put in your ZIP
code and get a list of available
health plans. There will be a
section where you can find out
whether you qualify for subsidies, or whether you might
need to look at Medicaid.
There will be cost calculators
to allow you to compare different levels of coverage: platinum, gold, silver and bronze.
There will be tools that allow
you to see whether your doctor or hospital is with a particular plan.
In an interview, HHS official
Hash said the government is
undaunted by the prospect of
running exchanges in half the
states or more.
“What we are talking about
building here is a system that is
really using 21st century technology, and it’s not dependent
like in the past on bricks and
mortar or how many (federal
employees) you have,” said
Hash. “Information technology produces the opportunity
for efficiency. It’s much more
easily scalable if you need to
do it for a larger number of individuals.”
Paper applications also will
be accepted. And Hash expects people will have plenty
of help to navigate the system,
from volunteers to insurers
advertising to reach new customers.
The government has awarded two big technology contracts for exchanges.
HHS rejected an Associated
Press request to interview the
contractors.
Virginia-based CGI Federal
Inc. is building the federal exchange. Maryland-based Quality Software Services Inc. is
building what’s called the federal data services hub, an electronic back office that will be
used by the federal exchange
and state exchanges to verify
identity, income, citizenship
and legal residence.
Running the data hub will
involve securely checking sensitive personal information
held by agencies such as the
Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service
and Homeland Security Department.
The administration says
consumers should not notice
any difference between the
federal exchange and marketplaces run by the states. State
regulators disagree.

Buckeyes heavy on youngsters to usher in new era
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— It’s a fresh start for Ohio
State.
As it turns out, a lot of
the players expected to usher the Buckeyes into a new
era are also just starting out
— and are fresh faces.
So far, first-year coach
Urban Meyer and the rest
of his staff prefer effort and
competitiveness over age
and experience.
The young guys may run
the wrong way, but they do
it with abandon. The coaches love that.
“We want to see what
guys have that ‘it’ to them or
really that desire as a young
guy to get out there,” said
defensive
co-coordinator
and last year’s interim head
coach, Luke Fickell. “They
don’t slow down not understanding not knowing what
they’re doing. Then you’ve
got to put them in positions to do that. Hey, (even
if) they don’t know exactly
what they’re doing, those
are the guys you really have
to concentrate on and give
them some opportunities.”
No fewer than 19 of the
22 full-time positions listed
on the two-deep chart include a freshman, sophomore or a redshirt first- or
second-year player as a
starter or backup.
Several sophomores, in
particular, play high-profile,
high-stress,
high-responsibility positions: quarterback Braxton Miller, receivers Devin Smith and Evan
Spencer, linebackers Ryan
Shazier and Curtis Grant
and cornerback Bradley
Roby.
On top of that, first-year
coach Urban Meyer says
youngsters will get playing
time immediately when the
games begin on Sept. 1.
“The best players are going to play,” he said after
the first full team practice.
“From what I’ve seen so far,
there’ll be a bunch — maybe not a bunch, but a good
chunk — of freshmen who’ll
play in that first game.”
Ohio State is trying to
turn the page after an awful 2011. First, there were
the NCAA scandals that led
to 10-year head coach Jim
Tressel being forced to step
down. The memorabilia-forcash violations meant vacating the 2010 season, NCAA
probation and a bowl ban
after the 2012 season.
On top of all that, several
suspensions and the premature departure of threeyear starting quarterback
Terrelle Pryor resulted in
Miller being thrust into the
starting role before he was
ready. The Buckeyes struggled — on both sides of the
ball — while sagging to a
6-7 record, losing their final
four games.
So it’s no wonder that, in
order to turn things around,
Meyer and his staff aren’t

MASON, W.Va. — Cory
Hoshor from Buffalo High
School turned in a excellent
2-under par score of 33 for
his team in a dual match
against the Wahama White
Falcons.
The play six, count four
format was played under
sunny skies at the Riverside Golf Course. Cory was
actually 3-under after eight
holes, but his par putt on
the 9th hole missed by inches for his only bogey of the
day. Cory is just a junior and
is already considered one of
the better high school golfers in the state.
However, one excellent
score does not off-set four
fairly consistent scores
which is what Wahama was
able to manage on this near
perfect day for golf. The
White Falcons were almost
at full strength for the first
time this young season with
there final score showing
a vast improvement over
their first two matches. The
final totals were Wahama
173 and Buffalo 181.
Wahama’s Dakota Sisk
was able to bounce back
from a shaky start to shoot
a 41 for the match. Michael
Hendricks was consistent
throughout the match and
also shot a 41. Samuel Gordon, a senior, played his
initial match of the year and
added a 44.
Junior Michael Mac
Knight was somewhat under the weather, but managed to add a 47 for the

Special to OVP
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The
University of Rio Grande
has been picked to finish
second in the 2012 MidSouth Conference preseason coaches’ poll, which
was released late last week
by conference officials.
The RedStorm received
one first-place vote and 73
total points in the balloting.
Coaches were not allowed
to vote for their own squad.
Lindsey Wilson College
was the top pick in the voting, receiving 81 voting
points and the remaining
nine first-place nods from
the conference coaches. The
Blue Raiders not only captured the MSC regular season and tournament titles in
2011, but also won the program’s ninth NAIA national
title last season.
Rio Grande returns a
number of key performers
from last year’s team, which
finished 19-3 and ranked
No. 5 in the final national
poll after a season-ending
loss in the quarterfinal
round of the national tournament.
Leading the list of returnees is senior forward/
midfielder Richard Isberner (Sao Paulo, Brazil), the
league’s reigning Player of
the Year and a first team AllAmerica honoree. He led
the nation in points (76),
ranked second in the country in goals scored (29) and
tied for the national lead in
assists (18).
Isberner scored a schoolrecord 15 points (5 goals
and 5 assists) in an MSC
Tournament win over St.
Catharine College.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP)
— West Virginia football coach
Dana Holgorsen will earn $2.3
million this season under a new
six-year contract, athletic director
Oliver Luck said Wednesday.
The deal includes $250,000 in
base pay and the remainder in
supplemental pay from athletic
department revenue or private
sources. Holgorsen, now in his
second year, will receive annual
raises of $200,000 in the second
and third years of the contract,
and $100,000 in the fourth and
fifth years.
The agreement also includes
performance incentives, including
for team academic achievements,
regular-season victories, conference titles and postseason bowl
appearances.
One area spells out reasons Holgorsen can be fired. They include
being convicted of a felony or a
misdemeanor involving “moral
turpitude,” a plea of no contest,
and if he is involved in substance
abuse or habitual drunkenness.
Five months after he came to
West Virginia and a month before
taking over for Bill Stewart, an intoxicated Holgorsen was escorted
out of a casino, but no charges
were filed.
Holgorsen also would have
to pay a $2 million penalty if he
leaves before the contract expires.
Until now, Holgorsen had been
working under a term sheet he
signed when he was hired and
would have earned about $1.7
million this season. Luck said the
new compensation terms are in
line with other Big 12 and majorcollege coaches’ salaries.
WVU left the Big East Conference earlier this year after a messy
lawsuit to join the Big 12.
“We have said all along we are
going to pay our coach a competitive salary for a very valued and
competitive position,” Luck said.
“I have full confidence in coach
Holgorsen and his staff and want
them to be with us for a long time.”
Texas coach Mack Brown and
Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops remain
the highest-paid coaches in the
Big 12, followed by Oklahoma
State, TCU and Kansas.
Luck hired Holgorsen in 2010
to eventually replace Stewart as
coach. Holgorsen was brought in
as offensive coordinator and head
coach-in-waiting and took over a
year early in June 2011 with Stewart’s forced resignation.
Holgorsen finished his first season at WVU with a 10-3 record
and a Big East championship, as
well as a 70-33 victory over Clemson in the Orange Bowl,
Holgorsen said he didn’t view
signing a contract as a question of
commitment because he feels he
was already dedicated to the program.
“I wake up, come to work and
try to make it better every day,” he
said. “Oliver and the administration probably get tired of me asking questions and asking how we
can make things better on a daily
basis, but my commitment has
always been the same. It is just
what reality is. When the university commits what it has to me and
vice versa, it is a positive. Assistant coaches and players will view
this as stability, and they are going
to want to be here. It is going to
help in recruiting, ticket sales and
all of the rest.”
Just for staying with the program, Holgorsen will receive an
additional $75,000 on Dec. 8 each
year, $50,000 on March 1, 2013,
and $300,000 on March 1, 2014.
He’ll get bonuses starting at
eight regular-season wins, including a maximum of $200,000 for
12 regular-season wins. An appearance in the national championship game would earn him
$200,000 and he’d get an additional $250,000 for a national championship. Such incentive payments
are capped at $600,000 per year.
The contract also stipulates a
budget of at least $2.6 million for
Holgorsen’s assistant coaches that
will increase at least 3 percent annually — and at least 5 percent if
the team qualifies for a bowl.
West Virginia opens the season
at home Sept. 1 against Marshall.
The Mountaineers open Big 12
play at home Sept. 29 against Baylor.
“It has been a good year, but it
has only been a year,” Luck said.
“He is a tremendous coach. I
would like him to coach in Morgantown as long as he wants.”
URG women’s soccer picked 7th by MSC coaches
Randy Payton
Special to OVP
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Coaches from
across the Mid-South Conference have
tabbed the University of Rio Grande
women’s soccer team for a seventh
place finish according to the 2012
preseason coaches’ poll released by
league officials.
The RedStorm, who finished 6-11
overall and 1-6 inside the conference
last season, tallied 34 points in the balloting. Coaches were not permitted to
vote for their own squad.
The Lindsey Wilson College, which
has captured at least a share of the
conference’s regular season title each
of the last 12 seasons, topped the list
by receiving 81 points and nine of the
10 first-place votes.
The Blue Raiders finished 19-1-2
overall and 7-0 in the MSC last season.
Georgetown College was second in
the poll with 68 voting points and the
final first-place vote, while Cumberland University — which begins its
first season in the MSC as a full member since 2001 — was third in the poll
with 58 points.
Campbellsville University (56), the
University of the Cumberland (50)
and Shawnee State University (44)
were in front of Rio, taking positions
4-6, respectively.
The University of Pikeville (25), St.
Catharine College (24) and Bluefield
College (10) — who enters its first
season in the MSC in 2012 — rounded out the poll.
Rio Grande returns its top two scorers in junior forward Alexandria Davis
(Ashville, OH) and junior midfielder
Mary Beth Schramm (Marietta, OH).
Davis tied for second on the team with
two goals and ranked second in points
with five, while Schramm had a teamhigh three goals and six points.
Also back for second-year head
coach Callum Morris is senior defender Vanessa Montgomery (Chillicothe,
OH), an Honorable Mention All-MSC
pick who also scored a pair of goals
last season, and senior midfielder/
forward Katie Fuller (Hamilton, OH),
who had one goal and one assist.
The 2012 season begins later this
month and concludes with the conference tournament beginning in early
November at various campus sites.
The tournament’s semifinals and finals are scheduled for Nov. 7-8 at
Lindsey Wilson in Columbia, Ky.

“We have a lot of young
guys,” he said. “Having a
new offense, I’m just trying
to get in there and learn the
offense and then share my
knowledge with the young
guys.”
Sophomore Michael Bennett is in the mix on the defensive line. He’s been impressed with what he’s seen
out of the freshmen.
“We definitely have a
decent amount of younger
guys who can step up and
be playmakers on this defense,” he said.
One of them is Shazier,
an acclaimed recruit out of
Plantation, Fla., who saw
more and more action as
last season unfolded. By the
end, he was one of the top
defenders on the team.
He welcomes the opportunity to play a major role
so soon in his college career.
“We have a young team
and we still have experience,” he said. “Even when
we mess up, we still have
the older guys to look over
us and tell us what we do
wrong and what we do
right.”
So far, they’ve done a lot
of things right.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Aug. 9, 2012:
This year you often say one thing
yet do another. Your mixed messages
could cause confusion and a sense of
unfulfillment. You might feel like you
never get what you want, which could
be a reflection of problematic communication. You might decide to add
more clarity to the way you express
your thoughts. If you are single, you
could attract someone through your
work or public commitments. Though
this bond might not be “it,” you could
really enjoy this person. If you are
attached, as a couple you decide to
be more visual than in recent years.
TAURUS approves of how you present yourself.
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 Pressure builds, and your
finances could be tied to the situation. Sorting through ways to defuse
the matter to the approval of those
involved could take unusual talent.
Go after a creative venture, and trigger your imagination in other areas of
your life as well. Tonight: Your treat.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Get into the moment. You
might not have the agreement from
others that you might like. Discover
alternatives. A meeting helps you figure out the most logical and effective
way to proceed. A friend inspires you.
Tonight: Absolutely what you want.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Listen to your instincts concerning a child or loved one. You see
someone in a new light as a result of
detaching and/or tapping into a different perspective. Do not hesitate
to work on what feels right to you.
Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH Focus on success and
feeling successful, and you will be
successful. You demonstrate the
power of positive thought and go
for what you want. Your imagination seems endless, and it allows
you to identify with others. Tonight:
Whatever would make you happiest.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH You might want to do
something a lot differently from how
someone else does it. The issue is
that this person seems to have more
leverage than you do. Your creativity
will help even out the power balance.
It might be smart to pull back some.
Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Allow your mind to wander
and gain insight. You might laugh at
yourself and how you personalized a
situation. Laughter is more important
than you realize in staying relaxed
and open. Someone you care about
touches base. Tonight: Go with what
pleases you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Deal with others directly —
you will like the results a lot better.
You see a situation for what it offers,
and more. Go out of your way to let
someone know how you feel. Your
instincts carry you far in your dealings. Tonight: Dinner for two.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You might want to rethink
what is happening within your immediate circle. By asking questions,
you could cause others to distance
themselves. Relate in an open manner, and it will bring forth more of the
information you are curious to hear.
Tonight: Go with a suggestion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You want to do something
differently, but you might not be
sure how to proceed. You could be
overwhelmed by a family member or
close friend who could be a little too
gushy for your style. This person is
simply sharing. You do not need to
do anything. Tonight: Get some extra
R and R.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH You might want to fit some
downtime in, but a child or loved one
needs some playtime. You might
need to rearrange your schedule, but
do what you feel is right. You have an
intuitive hunch about money or love.
Tonight: Get into the moment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH What you’re thinking about
getting done or working with might
not be viable if you wait much longer.
Though you have a strong intuitive
hunch about a financial matter, it
does not mean that it’s right. Be sure
that you can afford for this feeling to
be wrong. Tonight: Close to home.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Your emotions lead you,
and you have little choice but to follow them. Your caring self-expression means a lot, whether you are
expressing an innate talent or telling
someone how you feel. Tension
builds around your daily routine.
Tonight: Ever playful.

Brandon Tate has early lead as
Bengals compete for WR spot
CINCINNATI (AP) — Armon Binns
didn’t have to learn the Bengals’ system all
by himself. He had a companion in the same
situation.
Like Binns, receiver Brandon Tate was
learning things on the fly last season. Neither caught a pass in a game. Both spent a
lot of time in practice on the scout team,
imitating the opponents’ receivers to help
the defense.
They had so much in common that they
became close.
“We were with each other with the ‘look’
team against the defense, so we were always hyping each other up, trying to make
plays,” Binns said on Wednesday. “It was
kind of the same deal. But this time, it’s for
real.”
This time, they’re competing for the
same job.
Tate is listed first on the depth chart when
the Bengals (No. 14 in the AP Pro32) open
their preseason on Friday night against the
New York Jets at Paul Brown Stadium. It’s
the first chance for the Bengals’ inexperienced group of receivers to start sorting
itself out.
Finding a complement to receiver A.J.
Green is one of Cincinnati’s priorities in the
preseason. The Bengals have little experience at receiver with Jerome Simpson and
Andre Caldwell gone from last year.
Andrew Hawkins led the group of backup
receivers last season with 23 catches in 13
games. The 5-foot-7 receiver is trying to
win a role.
Like Tate and Binns, Hawkins spent the
first part of last season just learning his way
around. The Bengals signed him during
training camp after St. Louis waived him.
“I don’t know if there’s one big thing
I’ve tried to improve on,” Hawkins said on
Wednesday. “It’s little things, like noticing
the coverage earlier, getting on the same
page with the quarterback.
“As a receiver, I think that’s the No. 1
thing. Whether you’re fast, slower, taller or
smaller, if you’re on the same page with the
quarterback, you can elevate your game.”
Tate has the most NFL experience in
the group. He played for New England in
2009-10 and caught 24 passes for 432 yards
and three touchdowns. He was a kickoff returner for the Patriots and quickly moved
into that role with the Bengals after they
claimed him off waivers at the start of the
season.
Tate returned 42 kickoffs last season, averaging nearly 24 yards, and had 51 punt
returns for an average of about 11 yards,
with one touchdown. He didn’t get to catch
a pass.
This year, he gets the first shot at a starting receiver spot as well.
“That doesn’t mean anything,” he said.
“There’s a lot of competition ahead.”
Binns was a star at the University of
Cincinnati. He signed with Jacksonville as
an undrafted free agent and was waived
in September. He signed onto Cincinnati’s
practice squad and got Chad Johnson’s old
jersey No. 85, but wasn’t on the active roster as the Bengals won a wild-card spot. He
was added to the roster for a first-round
playoff loss at Houston but didn’t catch a
pass.
By the time training camp opened, his
college city felt a lot like home again.
“I’m real comfortable,” Binns said. “I
know a lot of guys around here. I’m not the
quiet kid that nobody knows just sitting
around here. I’m real comfortable with the
system, the quarterbacks. I’m on the same
page with them. It’s been a good transition.”
For now, he’s No. 2 on the depth chart.
“I’m not really worried about that,” Binns
said. “I think I’m going to get an opportunity to play.”
NOTES: Coach Marvin Lewis said top
draft pick CB Dre Kirkpatrick is improving.
Kirkpatrick hurt his left knee before the
start of camp and hasn’t been cleared for
practice. He’s working out on the side of the
field. “Dre Kirkpatrick is doing very, very
well,” Lewis said. … Tate is listed as the
top punt and kickoff returner again, with
Hawkins as the backup at both. Hawkins
has never returned punts. “Repetition gets
you more comfortable, so we’re going into
the first preseason game and I’ll get an opportunity to work on the punt return game,”
Hawkins said. “I’m a work in progress. I’m
new to it.”
Jeff Gordon going strong
on and off the racetrack
LONG POND, Pa. (AP)
— The African boy must
have been about 10 years old
and suffered from a form of
cancer that gutted his frame
to just bones.
There was no cure. There
was nothing doctors could
do except pump the frail
child with morphine and
wait. He was going to die.
The boy was brought to a
hospital in Butare from one
where the top treatment
available was simple Tylenol.
Yes, for cancer.
Jeff Gordon was crushed
by a feeling of helplessness
watching the young child in
agony. Gordon knew that if,
somehow, there was exem-
plary medical care available
to the boy when he was first
struck by the disease, perhaps a better fate awaited
him.
Gordon, one of NASCAR’s
greatest drivers, is a part of a
team these days far removed
from the bustle at the racetrack. He’s devoted to funding programs through his
foundation that aid children
with cancer by improving
their care and their lives.
“I genuinely want to see a
child get better. I don’t want
to see children suffer,” he
said.
It’s that drive that brought
Gordon to Rwanda last
month to celebrate the open-
We’ve Got Money to Lend
740-949-2210
ing of the Butaro Cancer
Center, the first specialized
cancer treatment center in
the country. Gordon was
joined in dedicating the facility by Former President
Bill Clinton and Rwanda
President Paul Kagame —
two of the few heavy hitters
who can actually compete
with Hendrick Motorsports
drivers Jimmie Johnson and
Dale Earnhardt Jr. as teammates.
Gordon sure didn’t make
the trip to Africa on one of
his rare off weeks from the
grind of the Sprint Cup season simply for a photo opp.
The Jeff Gordon Children’s
Foundation donated $1.5
million to the center that
now boasts an emergency
department, a full surgery
ward with two operating
rooms, and significantly
expanded laboratory capabilities, among other necessities. Gordon has visited
Africa twice in the last year,
making a connection with
the children, learning about
its culture, and understanding how he can best use his
millions earned over a 21year career to help eradicate
diseases like cancer.
