REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Three women were arrested and appeared in Meigs County Court after they allegedly stole homegrown produce from local farmers and then resold it. Sheriff Robert Beegle said felony theft charges were filed against Brittany Miller, 24, Mason, W.Va., Angela McKenzie, 33, McArthur, and Christina Will, 35, Racine. Beegle said the arrests were made during a traffic stop on U.S. 33 near Meigs High School. Beegle said his depart- ment received an anonymous tip last week that the women were stealing the sweet corn and tomatoes from farms in the Letart Falls and Racine areas. The Major Crimes Task Force assisted by placing surveillance equipment in one of the fields and observing the women in the process of stealing the produce. All three women appeared before Judge Steven L. Story. Miller was place on a cash bond and Will on her own recognizance. McKenzie was subject to an arrest warrant in Athens County and was returned there. Beegle said the three ATHENS — The Community Food Initiatives, ACEnet, 94 Columbus Road, Athens, has scheduled several workshops on preservation skills. At 7 p.m. on Aug. 16, there will be a “Jamin’ Jelly Making” workshop, with Lisa Trocchia showing her fruit preservation skills and teaching how to make jams, jellies and preserves. At 7 p.m. on Aug. 23, there will be a tomato canning workshop. Tomatoes are the easiest fruit to can, according to Trocchia, who will take those attending through the steps of successful canning procedures. In September there will be a Salsa Dip Off at the Athens Farmers Market. For info cficommunitygardens@frognet.net or 740-593-5971.

POMEROY — Hundreds of fans turned out for Saturday’s festivities of the Big Bend Blues Bash featuring artists from across the country. While many of the blues fans enjoyed the music while relaxing in lawn chairs under umbrellas to protect them from the hot sun, others played for the win in a cornhole tournament. Not only was the lower parking lot filled with people, but many listened from boats which lined the docks and pulled in close to hear the music. The Blues School for Kids held in the Court Street mini-park kicked off the day, followed by the Blue Z Band of Oak Hill and Magic Mamma Latte of Gallipolis on stage. Other bands performing were the Ian Ross Trio of Cincinnati, Mojo Theory of Columbus, Gas house Gorillas of New York, N.Y., Nick Curran of Austin, Texas, and Eddie Shaw of Chicago, Ill.

RACINE — Voters living in the Southern Local School District will go to the polls today to decide the fate of a bond issue which, if passed, will finance the public portion of the new, proposed Southern High School. Yesterday afternoon, the Meigs County Board of Elections reported 144 out of 166 absentee and/or early voting ballots had been returned for the today’s special election. Polls will be open today from 6:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. If a voter still has an absentee ballot that hasn’t been turned in, the ballot can be turned in today only at the Meigs County Board of Elections by 7:30 p.m. As reported earlier, there will be 24 poll workers on duty for the special election which will take place at four polling locations housing six precincts. Those precincts are: Lebanon located in the Portland Community Center, Letart located in the East Letart United Methodist Church, Racine Village and Racine Precinct located in Racine Baptist Church Christian Outreach Center, Syracuse Village and Minersville located in Syracuse Community Center. Voters will be voting on a 2.7 mills bond issue and mandated .5 mill maintenance levy for the new building — this maintenance levy would not go into effect until a similar maintenance levy for the elementary school expires in 2021. The new high school will be built as an addition on to the existing Southern Elementary School. The bond issue, which is for a maximum period of 37 years, will generate $3.9 million (the local share) of a $11.3 million project of which the state of Ohio will contribute $7.4 million, which is 75 percent of the construction costs. If passed, collection of these taxes will start in 2013. Supporters of the new high school have created a Power Point Presentation on “Bond Issue Basics.” The presentation can be found on the district’s website at southernlocalmeigs.org and contains a conceptual rendering of what the new high school addition would look like as well as a tax table allowing voters to see just how much the bond issue will cost them. �NATION The Daily Sentinel Page A2 Tuesday, August 3, 2010 BP: Upcoming kill attempt might do the trick alone NEW ORLEANS (AP) — After insisting for months that a pair of costly relief wells were the only surefire way to kill the oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, BP officials said Monday they may be able to do it just with lines running from a ship to the blown-out well a mile below. As crews planned testing to determine whether to proceed with a “static kill” to pump mud and perhaps cement down the throat of the well, BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells said if it’s successful the relief wells may not be needed, after all, to do the same weeks later from the bottom. The primary relief well, near completion, will still be finished and could be used simply to ensure the leak is plugged, Wells said. “Even if we were to pump the cement from the top, we will still continue on with the relief well and confirm that the well is dead,” he said. Either way, “we want to end up with cement in the bottom of the hole.” Government officials and company executives have long said the wells, which can cost about $100 million each, may be the only way to make certain the oil is contained to its vast undersea reservoir. A federal task force says about 172 million gallons of oil made it into the Gulf between April and mid-July, when a temporary cap bottled up all the oil. That number is on the high end of recent estimates that anywhere from 92 million to 184 million gallons had gushed into the sea. The company began drilling the primary, 18,000-foot relief well May 2, 12 days after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and killed 11 workers, and a second backup well May 16. The first well is now only about 100 feet from the target, and Wells said it could reach it as early as Aug. 11. “Precisely what the relief wells will do remains to be seen given what we learn from the static kill,” BP spokesman Daren Beaudo said. “Can’t predict it for certain.” Retired Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man on the spill response, said Monday that the focus now is on making sure the static kill is successful. But he cautioned that federal officials don’t see it as “the end all, be all until we get the relief well done.” One of the biggest variables is whether the area called the annulus, which is between the inner piping and the outer casing, has sprung an oil leak. Engineers probably won’t be able to answer that question until they drill in from the bottom, he said. “Everyone would like to have this thing over as soon as possible,” Allen said, adding: “We don’t know the condition of the well until we start pushing mud into it.” The company’s statements Monday might signal that it is more concerned than it has acknowledged about debris found in the relief well after it was briefly capped as Tropical Storm Bonnie passed last week, said Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University environmental sciences professor. Plus, trying to seal the well from the top gives BP two shots at ending the disaster, Overton said. “Frankly, if they can shut it off from the top and it’s a good, permanent seal, I’ll take it,” Overton said. “A bird in the hand at this point is a good thing with this deal.” Before the effort can begin, engineers must probe the broken blowout preventer with an oil-like liquid to decide whether it can handle the static kill process. They had hoped to begin the hours-long test Monday but delayed it until Tuesday after a small leak was discovered in the hydraulic control system. The static kill is meant as a bit of insurance for the crews who have spent months fighting the oil spill. The only thing keeping oil from blowing into the Gulf at the moment is the experimental cap, which has held for more than two weeks but was never meant to be permanent. BP and federal officials have managed to contain large parts of the spill through skimmers, oilabsorbant boom and chemical dispersants meant to break up the oil. Federal regulators have come under fire from critics who say that BP was allowed to use excessive amounts of the dispersants, but government officials counter that they have helped dramatically cut the use of the chemicals since late May. The Environmental Protection Agency released a study Monday concluding that when mixed with oil, chemical dispersants used to break up the crude in the Gulf are no more toxic to aquatic life than oil alone. We’re No. 1! UGA tops party schools ranking ATLANTA (AP) — The University of Georgia won a national title this year — top party school. The Princeton Review announced Monday that Georgia is the No. 1 party school on its now infamous annual ranking. The school of about 30,000 students has been on the list 10 times since the ranking was created in 1992, but this is the first time the university has taken the top spot. For the campus — surrounded by nearly 100 bars in tiny downtown Athens — parties are just part of life from August to May each year. Many students gear up for the weekend on Thursdays and sometimes don’t rest until Monday morning. University of Georgia spokesman Tom Jackson said the list is not one the school wants to lead. He said he’d rather emphasize that the school made Princeton Review’s top 50 “Best Values” list or the “Green Honor Roll” of the most environmentally conscious campuses. Georgia beat out Pennsylvania State University, West Virginia University and University of Florida — which were the top party schools over the last three years. Those three made the top 10 this year, while Ohio University ranked second. Phil Skinner/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/MCT President Barack Obama speaks at the Disabled American Veterans 89th National Convention at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, Monday. Obama salutes promised end of U.S. combat in Iraq ATLANTA (AP) — Nearing a milestone in the long and divisive Iraq war, President Barack Obama on Monday hailed this month’s planned withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops — “as promised and on schedule” — as a major success despite deep doubts about the Iraqis’ ability to police and govern their country. Portraying the end of America’s combat role in the 7-year war as a personal promise kept, Obama said Iraq will have 90,000 fewer U.S. troops by September than when he took office — a steady homeward flow he called “a season of homecomings.” But there could still be more fighting involving U.S. forces. “The hard truth is we have not seen the end of American sacrifice in Iraq,” the president said in a speech to the national convention of the Disabled American Veterans. “But make no mistake, our commitment in Iraq is changing — from a military effort led by our troops to a civilian effort led by our diplomats.” A transitional force of 50,000 troops will remain, down from the peak of 170,000 in 2007. Their mission will be to train and advise Iraqi security forces, protect U.S. civilians, manage the chain of supplies and equipment out of Iraq and conduct counterterrorism operations. Those soldiers and Marines will remain in harm’s way and will be likely to engage at times in some form of fighting. Iraqi commanders will be able to ask the U.S. for front-line help. All American troops are to leave Iraq by the end of next year, as mandated under an agreement negotiated before Obama took office, between the Iraqis and President George W. Bush. Obama’s speech Monday was the first of many, with appearances planned throughout the month by the president, Vice President Joe Biden and other administration Injured in a Car Accident? Let us help you get “Back” to work fast! For more information contact Bend Area Chiropractic 304-773-5773 Go to our website www.drkelseychiro.com or see Bend Area Chiropractic on facebook officials. The schedule reflects a White House eager, with pivotal congressional elections approaching, for achievements to tout, especially in areas with the emotional significance of the Iraq war. Obama’s campaign pledge to oversee a speedy conclusion to the U.S. fighting was the promise that most defined his presidential campaign, and it brought him significant support. Actually, while running for the White House, he said he would remove one or two brigades a month from Iraq to achieve an end to combat operations within 16 months of taking office. Instead, shortly after becoming president, Obama settled on a slower plan, to remove all combat troops within 19 months, and not at the pace of one brigade per month but on a more backloaded timetable. Those were concessions to the military that disappointed Obama’s anti-war base of support. Obama’s celebratory rhetoric on Monday brushed past some of the more grim realities in today’s Iraq. Leaders there remain at a political impasse that has prevented the formation of a new government for the nearly five months since parliamentary elections did not produce a clear winner. In a reminder of Iraq’s fragility, two bombings and a drive-by shooting killed eight people there Monday just hours before Obama spoke. With such attacks remaining a daily occurrence, especially in Baghdad, questions persist about the readiness of Iraqi security forces to take over for the Americans and hold back insurgents. Obama said, “Violence in Iraq continues to be near the lowest it’s been in years,” but figures released by Iraqi authorities over the weekend — dismissed by the U.S. military as too high — showed July to be the deadliest month for Iraqis in more than two years. Frustration over the political deadlock has come on top of widespread Iraqi anger over the government<s failure to improve basic services such as electricity and drinking water. With billions of dollars already spent to improve electricity since the U.S.led invasion in 2003, households in Baghdad continue to suffer lengthy power outages. That’s a particularly sore subject with Iraqis since the summer months routinely see 115-degree days and buying electricity from privately owned neighborhood generators is beyond the reach of many. Some longtime Iraq observers worry that the country’s sectarian divisions could widen in the months ahead. “Much of the violence has occurred because there is no government, because nobody knows what the future is,” said Anthony Cordesman, a military analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has periodically advised top U.S. commanders in Baghdad. However, military officials say that neither Iraqi political turmoil nor the continuing violence will change the departure plan. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, visited Iraq last week and came away confident that the switch to a fully advisory role can occur as planned, his spokesman said Monday. Also, Cordesman said that if the Obama administration were to extend the combat mission beyond Aug. 31 or seek to renegotiate the December 2011 withdrawal, the U.S. would be seen by many Iraqis as reverting to the role of an occupier. At the same time Obama has drawn down forces in Iraq, he has increased the U.S. commitment in Afghanistan, ordering a surge of 30,000 additional troops for the 9-year mission there. Casualties are on the rise, causing some to argue the Afghanistan war should be ended quickly but others to question Obama’s plan to begin winding it down as soon as next July. Critics say such a timetable will embolden the Taliban and other extremist groups in the region. With debate continuing and war support low, the White House has launched a fresh effort to paint the U.S. goals in Afghanistan as modest: keeping the region from being a haven for terrorists. “We face huge challenges in Afghanistan,” Obama said Monday. “But it’s important that the American people know that we are making progress and we’re focused on goals that are clear and achievable.” The United States lost four troops in Iraq last month, and only one of those was in combat. July was the deadliest month of the war in Afghanistan, with 66 U.S. troops killed. Speaking before a mostly friendly crowd of more than 2,500 disabled veterans, some in wheelchairs, others with lost limbs, Obama promised an all-out effort to support the nation’s troops. “Your country is going to take care of you when you come home,” he said. After the speech, he headlined a lunch to raise campaign cash for the Democratic National Committee, his latest stop in a summer fundraising sprint that also includes events in Chicago later this week. �The Daily Sentinel BY THE BEND There just may be a cure for the summertime blues Dr. Joyce Brothers such thing as having the blues or feeling depressed based on what time of year it is. Yet, if you trust your own instincts, you know that it’s no coincidence that this feeling comes over you like clockwork when the days begin to lengthen! What makes things worse for some people is the fact that the pollen in the spring grasses and trees triggers their allergies. And as an increasingly allergy-prone populace, we have a sizable group of people who are growing to dread and even hate the spring, summer and fall. So please don’t feel that you are absolutely alone in your seasonal issues, and if you don’t suffer from allergies, you can even consider yourself pretty lucky. The evidence is that while the number of sufferers is comparatively small, it definitely is possible to be depressed by summer. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: My husband was involved in a small plane crash a few months ago. He broke both his legs, but for the most part is otherwise OK, at least physically. But ever since the crash, he hasn’t been the same. He’s been very depressed and doesn’t seem like he’s just going to snap out of it. I want to help but wind up not doing anything at all for fear of doing or saying something wrong. I really need some help here. — K.N. Dear K.N.: I am sorry to hear of your husband’s accident. The crash must have been a huge shock to both of you, and because you were not involved, it was much less difficult for you to absorb the trauma and move on. Now you wish your husband was in the same emotional place so you could go forward together, but he’s just not cooperating. I know you want to spare him any further pain and help him to for- get what happened and go back to the way things were. You even may have a tiny bit of resentment that he is unable to let it go — after all, he’s over his injuries, so why can’t he call upon his resilience and just bounce back? Unfortunately, this isn’t something he can will himself to do — his depression is real. It may fade away, or he may need some help dealing with it. It is very likely that he is suffering from a reactive depression — one that develops from a specific cause or incident; he even might have post-traumatic stress syndrome. You need to be patient and sensitive, and not apply any pressure to try to get your husband to heal more quickly. Ask him what he needs from you, and be open to discussing or not discussing his troubles. Help make professional resources available to him if need be. Your main function is to wait and be supportive. It may be difficult, but in the end it will prove to be just what he needs in order to regain his equilibrium.

When I was growing up, car manufacturers made a big deal each fall about unveiling next year’s models, literally shrouding them in secrecy under tarps in print and TV ads until the launch date. Car-crazy dads would then rush down to the dealer for a test drive. New models now roll out year round — and financing methods have gotten more flexible as well. Back then, many people saved for years in order to pay cash for a new car; today, most people I know take out car loans. In fact, many saddle themselves with debt that might take five or more years to pay off — money they could be saving to buy a home or pay for retirement. Although a longer-term loan may lower monthly payment amounts or enable you to buy a more expensive car than you could otherwise afford, it can also have unexpected, costly consequences: • The longer your loan term, the more interest you ultimately pay. For example, on a six-year, $25,000 loan at 6 percent interest, you would pay $1,659 more in total interest than for a comparable four-year loan. • When calculating how much car they can afford, many people forget to factor in such expenses as a down payment, insurance, sales tax, registration and emission fees, maintenance and repairs, which can add thousands of dollars to the overall cost. • New cars typically lose 20 percent or more in value the minute you drive them off the lot. Thus, if you put 10 percent down on a $25,000 car and borrowed the rest, you’d automatically owe $22,500 on a car that might only be worth $20,000. If you suddenly had to sell it, would you have $2,500 to pay off the loan? (Not to mention having to come up with the cash to buy another car.) • Worse yet, if the car were stolen or totaled in an accident, depending on your insurance coverage you could owe much more. Before you sign on for a new car payment you can’t afford, consider these points: • Today’s cars are much better constructed and more reliable than in the past. With proper maintenance, you might be able to get 150,000 or Jason Alderman more miles out of your current car before repair costs become prohibitive. Check your car’s service manual for maintenance guidelines. If you can’t find it, go to your car manufacturer’s website. • A good used car could save you thousands of dollars, both in price and insurance costs. To find a reliable used car, look for a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle backed by a manufacturer’s warranty. Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com) and Cars.com (www.cars.com) both have good discussions on CPOs. Also, ask friends or reputable mechanics for reliable referrals. • Before purchasing a used car, look into obtaining a Vehicle History Report, available from www.carfax.com and other sites for a small fee. These reports will trace the car’s history by vehicle identification number on a nationwide database to make sure it’s not a lemon or has title problems.

For me, summertime always has meant the opposite of what it means to everyone else — the season most people look forward to, I dread. The endless bright sun and heat depress me, and I constantly check the forecast for rainy and cloudy days for some relief. I recently installed a widget on my laptop that counts down the days to the first day of autumn! What the heck is wrong with me? — A.G. Dear A.G.: It is difficult when you don’t seem to go with the flow. When everyone else is dragging through the dark days of winter and wishing February would turn into July, you probably are unaffected by the snow and cold, and the dark, dreary days. The signs of spring are so relentlessly cheery — flowers blooming, birds singing, grass growing — that you must feel quite out of step with the rest of the world when nature’s clock turns to summer and sunshine. You even may have heard that it is all in your head — that there’s no Page A3 Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 68.

I find this situation tragic and appalling. Again the only losers in this situation are the youth of this county who were ministered to by God’s NET who will now suffer the loss of a ministry which tried to help and encourage them. The Meigs Cooperative Parish as a Christian Organization should be supporting God’s Net in their endeavors to help and minister to the youth of this county. The Meigs Cooperative Parish as part of their ministry should be working with God’s NET to help share and work to keep this ministry from shutting down. This would seem much more in line with what the church should be doing to help the youth of this county. E.E. Showalter Long Bottom T O DAY I N H I S T O RY Today is Tuesday, Aug. 3, the 215th day of 2010. There are 150 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on a voyage that took him to the present-day Americas. On this date: In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr went on trial before a federal court in Richmond, Va., charged with treason. (He was acquitted less than a month later.) In 1914, Germany declared war on France at the onset of World War I. In 1923, Calvin Coolidge was sworn in as the 30th president of the United States following the death of Warren G. Harding. In 1943, Gen. George S. Patton slapped a private at an army hospital in Sicily, accusing him of cowardice. (Patton was later ordered by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to apologize for this and a second, similar episode.) In 1958, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Nautilus became the first vessel to cross the North Pole underwater. In 1980, closing ceremonies were held in Moscow for the Summer Olympic Games, which had been boycotted by dozens of countries, including the United States. In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, despite a warning from President Ronald Reagan they would be fired, which they were.

GOP looks to erase Dems’ comfy House majority BY LIZ SIDOTI ASSOCIATED PRESS No fewer than 65 House seats across the country — an overwhelming majority held by Democrats — are at risk of changing political hands this fall, enough to bolster Republican hopes of regaining power and stoke fears in President Barack Obama’s party of losing it. Even more races from California to New York could become competitive by November as voters look to blame someone for the sluggish economic recovery and take out their frustration on the Democrats who run the government. As of now, enough seats are in play that Republicans could gain the 39 they need to reclaim the House, dealing a blow to Obama in the first midterm elections of his presidency. Primary outcomes and national polls show a restless electorate and energized Republicans. Independents who propelled the Democrats to power in 2006 and 2008 in scores of swing districts are leaning toward the GOP, expressing concerns about excessive spending, government overreach and the spiraling national debt. Every part of the country features close House contests. At least six are in Pennsylvania and at least five in Ohio. Three apiece or more are in Arizona, Indiana, Florida and Illinois. New Hampshire has two, as does Arkansas. Democrats say 70 at most are up for grabs; the GOP says the number is closer to 80. In interviews with The Associated Press, lawmakers and party officials from both sides agree that at least 65 of the 435 races are hotly contested — and Democrats are on defense in most. Democrats just reserved nearly $50 million in TV advertising time for the fall in 60 districts, mostly to protect seats held by their own members. “Republicans are on offense and Democrats are running for cover,” said House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio. “The Democrats are running from their own record.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other party leaders insist they will hold onto the House. Democrats are counting on their money advantage to stem the losses. The Democratic Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Her party, she said, is “very proud” of his legislative record. Yet to Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, who leads the committee charged with electing House Republicans, “No amount of spin or political attacks will save Speaker Pelosi and her party from being held accountable for their unpopular agenda.” High on the GOP list are seats left open by retiring Democrats, including two in Arkansas, and one each in Kansas, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin. The GOP also hopes to pick up seats in Illinois and Indiana, where the incumbent, Democrat Brad Ellsworth, is running for the Senate. Democrats have only a few opportunities to win Republicanheld seats. They’re gunning for an at-large seat in Delaware and the 10th Congressional District in Illinois, where moderate Reps. Mike Castle and Mark Kirk are running for the Senate from their respective states. Democratic presidential candidates typically carry Delaware and the Illinois district. Republicans also consider Rep. Joseph Cao, the only Republican who voted for one version of Obama’s health care overhaul, virtually certain to lose in Louisiana. Cao represents a heavily Democratic New Orleans district; he won in 2008 after Democratic Rep. William Jefferson was indicted on bribery charges. Democrats say there’s also little chance that Republicans will hang onto a Hawaii seat now occupied by GOP Rep. Charles Djou; Republicans don’t agree. Djou became the first Republican in nearly 20 years to be elected to the House from Hawaii in a special election. Two Democrats were on the ballot and split the vote. Republicans also are privately worried about GOP Reps. Dan Lungren in California, Charlie Dent in Pennsylvania and Dave Reichart in Washington. And Democrats contend that Mary Bono Mack in California and Lee Terry in Nebraska could be in trouble, and they’re also making a play for an open seat in Florida’s 25th Congressional District. Coal companies propose targeting congressional Dems BY ROGER ALFORD ASSOCIATED PRESS The Daily Sentinel Congressional Campaign Committee has nearly $17 million more available than the National Republican Congressional Committee to spend this fall. And most of the Democrats’ threatened incumbents have a 2-to-1 cash advantage over their GOP challengers. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic House campaign effort, said his party is confident it will retain its majority. Still, he said keeping such a comfortable majority will be difficult. The current breakdown is 255 Democrats, 178 Republicans and two vacancies. One of those is a Republican-held seat in Indiana; the other is a New York seat that likely will end up in GOP control. “We’ve won 55 seats over the last two cycles, and we hold virtually every swing seat in the country. That’s what makes it a very challenging cycle but that being said we will win the majority,” said Van Hollen, D-Md. In 1994, the first midterms for Democratic President Bill Clinton, the party was stunned as Republicans swept to power, capturing the House after 40 years. Van Hollen said that unlike 1994, Democrats knew from the moment Obama got elected that they would face a difficult 2010 election because they won seats in a slew of conservative districts. In fact, dozens of Democrats were elected in 2006 and 2008 in swing-voting districts in a wave that booted Republicans. Now that the political landscape is tilting toward the GOP, most of those freshmen and sophomores are vulnerable. Among the top GOP targets in districts Republican presidential nominee John McCain won two years ago are Democratic Reps. Betsey Markey of Colorado, Tom Perriello of Virginia and Walter Minnick of Idaho. Also, given the antiWashington strain coursing through a recession-weary electorate, some of the most senior Democrats who long have held conservative districts also are risk. They include 17-term Missouri Rep. Ike Skelton and 14term South Carolina Rep. John Spratt. Another worry for the party is the political fallout of a likely September trial for New York Rep. Charles Rangel on 13 charges of tax and disclosure violations. “I’m not nervous at all” about An Appalachian coal company is asking its competitors to pool their money for a political offensive against Democrats in Kentucky and West Virginia they believe are anti-coal. International Coal Group wants other mining companies to take advantage of a U.S. Supreme Court decision loosening restrictions on corporate contributions to political causes. ICG Senior Vice President Roger Nicholson said in an e-mail he wanted to target Democratic U.S. Reps. Ben Chandler of Kentucky and Nick Rahall of West Virginia, and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jack Conway in Kentucky. “A number of coal industry representatives recently have been considering developing a 527 entity with the purpose of attempting to defeat anti-coal incumbents in select races, as well as elect pro-coal candidates running for certain open seats,” he said in the e-mail. The e-mail was first reported by the Lexington Herald-Leader. Nicholson said in the e-mail that four companies, including Massey Energy, have already had “theoretical discussions” about the initiative and are developing an action plan. He proposed that interested companies meet in August during a West Virginia Coal Association event. Massey Energy said in a statement Wednesday that it “has not committed to being involved in a 527 at this time.” Mine safety advocate Tony Oppegard, a Lexington attorney and former government regulator, said he was concerned because the companies that seem to be behind the effort have poor safety records. “They’ve all had miners die recently,” he said. United Mine Workers regional vice president Steve Earle said the proposal was appalling. “I think it’s blood money. The coal industry absolutely wants to defeat anyone in Congress who wants to stand on the side of right,” he said. Press aides for Chandler and Conway declined comment. A Rahall spokesman didn’t immediately return a phone message. Nicholson defended the proposal in a statement Wednesday, saying he wants to protect a coal industry under attack. “The Obama administration, through the EPA, and the Congress controlled by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, are taking steps that seek ultimately to eliminate coal production and its use,” he said in a statement. “We believe that these goals are disastrous for Kentucky and West Virginia, and would constitute an egregious national energy policy that would make us more, not less, dependent on foreign governments.” Nicholson said the companies’ interest is in protecting the industry from what he called overzealous environmental regulation. He objected to accusations that the industry is targeting politicians for their stands on mine safety. “The coal industry is not opposed to reasonable and appropriate legislation that will truly improve mine safety,” Nicholson said. “The notion that mine safety is not important to the industry is absurd; the costs of safety lapses far outweigh, in both human and monetary costs, any alleged monetary gains by cutting safety corners.” �Tuesday, August 3, 2010 Obituaries Local Briefs Dorothy M.

Beegle said his office fingerprinted, processed, and photographed 11 Monday on recent indictments through the Meigs County Common Pleas Court, following their court appearances Monday: Doxie Walters, Chate Marshall, and Lewis Bryant, on drug charges, Jose Klein, Charles Estep, Chris Diddle, Holly Jeffers and Steven Anderson on theft and theft-related charges, and Troy Ghannt, Robert Knaggs and Brad Robinson on charges of non-support of dependents. All were released on $1,000 personal recog- nizance bonds pending payment of court fees. Sgt. Dan Leonard returned from the London Correctional Institution and the Chillicothe Correctional Institution after transporting Jerry Franklin, Jr. and Scott Autherson for judicial release hearings. Beegle said their judicial release requests were granted, but the men were required to stay in county custody, at county expense, because paperwork was not prepared by the court system in time. Beegle said, for the first time, his office is holding a subject in custody pending an investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

NET from Page A1 along Mulberry Ave., asking motorists to “Honk if you love God’s NET.” The teens said they were showing their support because they want the ministry to stay open and “change people’s minds.” One of the teens, Madelyn Thomas, 14, Pomeroy, said she’d been coming to God’s NET for the past five years. “This (God’s NET) is not just about youth...the people here make you feel better about yourself,” Thomas said. Chastity Large, Pomeroy, has been coming to God’s NET since the second grade — she will be in the eighth grade this fall. When asked what options she had with no God’s NET to go to, she said, “I don’t know...walk around town.” “Getting in trouble,” Ronnie Lavender, 15, of Pomeroy said when asked the same question. Teen Alex Day of Pomeroy who is now 18, said he’d been coming to God’s NET since he was nine. Day said he was angry the doors seemed to be closing because of money, saying: “It’s all about money.” Becky Rader, whose parents Dee and Keith are involved with God’s NET, said the ministry has been a part of the community for 15 years, benefiting not only kids but adults with food, furniture and school supply giveaways to name a few. Still, Rader said the kids are the population obviously affected deeply by the doors closing. “A seven-year old 147th Meigs County Fair August 16-21 Mon., Aug. 16......Truck & Car Demo Derby Tues., Aug... 17.....Love and Theft Wed., Aug.. 18......Rodeo Thurs., Aug.. 19....

He also said teams will likely play nine conference games instead of eight in the future to help preserve rivalries. “I think there’s a real consensus among our athletic directors to do that,” Delany said Monday at the league’s football media days. “How quickly we can do that? We can’t do that in the next year or two. I’m hopeful we can make some progress for years three, four. Hopefully, it’s not three or four, but it could be depending on the contractual commitments.” The timetable for the championship game is sooner. Delany expects there to be one next season, although he’s not sure where it would be played and if the site would rotate. He also wants to sell naming rights to the game. Delany said he’s spoken to representatives from potential host sites and Chicago is in the running. But he’s not sure he’ll have time in the next four months to make visits. The conference could choose one for the first game and then tour venues in the spring. “I just think that selection, the philosophy, the economics around a championship venue may require more focused energy than we have right at this moment,” Delany said. Luring Nebraska from the Big 12 and adding one of college football’s traditional powers put the Big Ten in position to add what figures to be a lucrative championship game to the schedule. It also created some issues. The conference now has to figure out how to align into two six-team divisions while maintaining long-standing rivalries, like MichiganOhio State. Delany hopes to have that resolved in the next 30 to 45 days. While geography will be considered, it’s not the top priority. Competitive balance and rivalries trump that. Please see Big Ten, B2 Stuart Appleby shoots 59 at Greenbrier Classic Pryor named Big Ten preseason player of the year BY JOHN KAMPF JOURNAL REGISTER NEWS CHICAGO — Terrelle Pryor was named the Big Ten’s preseason player of the year for the second straight year and Ohio State was tapped as the preseason favorite to win the league, in a voting done by media members covering the Big Ten. Michigan State linebacker Greg Jones was named the preseason defensive player of the year for the second straight year. Both Pryor and Jones being name preseason MVPs marks the first since 1998 that the Big Ten’s Preseason Defensive and Offensive Players of the Year have been repeat selections from the previous season. Ohio State’s Andy Katzenmoyer (defense) and Wisconsin’s Ron Dayne (offense) are the only other pair to accomplish the feat since at least 1996. Jones, selected the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year at the conclusion of the 2009 season and a consensus AllAmerican, is the first back-to-back preseason defensive player of the Year since Ohio State’s James Laurinaitis in 2007 and 2008, and Pryor is the first player to repeat as preseason offensive player of the year since Dayne earned the honor in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Pryor has guided Ohio State to two Big Ten Championships and two Bowl Championship Series games in his first two seasons. Last year he threw for 2,094 yards and 18 touchdowns and also led the Buckeyes in rushing with 779 yards. Pryor enters his junior campaign already 11th among Ohio State’s career total offense leaders with 4,808 yards. His 1,410 rushing yards is the most among current Buckeyes (Brandon Saine has 1,071 and Dan Herron has 1,039).

(AP) — Stuart Appleby felt opportunity, not nerves, as he started running out of real estate in the chase for golf’s magic number 59. The Australian birdied the final three holes with putts of 15 feet or less Sunday to become the fifth PGA Tour player to reach the low-round record and win the Greenbrier Classic by a shot. He also broke a fouryear winless drought, when third-round leader Jeff Overton narrowly missed a long birdie try on the par-3 18th that would have forced a playoff. “I was quite comfortable,” Appleby said. “It’s not a nerve-racking thing to be involved in. I had a lot of opportunities and I made them. It was great to do that to win the tournament.” Appleby’s 11-under round on the Old White course put him at 22 under. Overton, playing three groups behind Appleby, shot 67 to finish at 21 under. “I did the math. I was chasing Jeff, who was heading toward the finish line,” Appleby said. “At the same time I was playing well and I thought if I could keep making birdies ...

Frias, a native of Salinas, Puerto Rico, transferred in last season from Jarvis Christian College. He quickly secured the starting second base spot and helped guide Rio Grande to its best season in school history, winning 48 games, claiming the Mid-South Conference Tournament championship and advancing to a first-ever appearance in the NAIA National Tournament. Frias, a switch-hitter, batted .326 (56-for-172) with two home runs and 49 RBI’s while playing in all 61 games for the RedStorm. Frias scored 38 runs, ripped 18 doubles and stole 16 bases in 23 attempts. He recorded a .950 fielding percentage, committing 13 errors in 146 chances, but at times dazzled the fans with some athletic and acrobatic plays throughout the course of the season. He is the first Rio player to sign a contract with a major league team since pitcher Dustin Gibbs signed with the San Diego Padres organization prior to the 2007 season.

And what does he get when he returns to preseason camp? He’s faced with doubts, cynics, questions and a battle for his starting job. In the offseason, the Browns drafted a running back and also traded for one. “I’m still not respected. That’s fine with me,” Harrison said in the August heat after one of the Browns’ first workouts. “You just have to prove it every year. Anybody can have one good game or two good games. The goal is to put them back-to-back-toback and just keep having them.” In just seven starts last season, the fifth-year back out of Washington State had 862 yards on 194 carries and scored five touchdowns. He was the No. 1 reason the Browns went from an offense that didn’t run for a touchdown until the 13th game to the NFL’s best rushing attack over the last four. Harrison’s running mate at fullback, Lawrence Vickers, was asked what calls clicked during the final month. “Everything,” he said with a laugh. “Everything they ran worked, for some reason. Maybe it was luck, maybe it was just us hitting our stride.” After gaining only 9 yards in a 13-6 win over Pittsburgh on Dec. 10, Harrison piled up 286 yards (breaking Brown’s Please see Browns, B6 Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journal/MCT In this December 27, 2009, file photo, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Harrison (35) slips away from the Oakland Raiders' Kirk Morrison during a run in the first half.

Men’s soccer, women’s basketball and women’s outdoor track and field all scored at least a 3.30 grade point average and were among 857 teams in the NAIA to achieve this status. The 857 teams are a new record-high for the NAIA, surpassing 837 programs from a season ago. Men’s soccer led the way for Rio Grande with a team grade point average of 3.32. Women’s basketball was next at 3.31 and women’s track and field was at 3.30. Rio Grande head women’s basketball coach David Smalley credited the system his program has in place to help his players have success in the classroom. “In college athletics, being successful on the field and in the classroom is a very challenging and daunting task,” Smalley said. “The University of Rio Grande women’s basketball program has been able to attain a high level of success in the classroom over the years due to our academic support system that we have in place.” “Our academic support system consists of progress reports that we send out 2-3 times per semester to our faculty and staff, requesting academic feedback on each of our players. We have mandatory study tables built into the class schedule - that the players have to maintain a 3.33 GPA to get off of study tables,” Smalley added. “Lastly, we have a tremendously positive relationship with our faculty and staff here at the University of Rio Grande. I can’t say enough about the university as a whole, the caring, the focus, the attention that our faculty and staff communicate to me as a head coach Frias from Page B1 to find a second baseman at this late date, he was happy for Frias and this opportunity and knows that this is great public relations for his program as well. “This is a great opportunity for Christian, we’re very proud and happy for him and wish him the best of luck,” Warnimont said. “This is great visibility for our program and the Mid-South Conference.” “I think it reflects the level of play in our conference,” Warnimont added. Frias is the godson of future hall of fame second baseman and former Blue Jay Roberto Alomar, who was instrumental in setting up the tryout for him with Toronto. Although details of the contract have not been released, it is believed that the Blue Jays will pay for the rest of his schooling. Frias will report to Dunedin, Florida and will be assigned to the Blue Jays rookie league team in the Gulf Coast League. and to my coaching staff in regards to the success of our students in the classroom.” “I think the key element is that our faculty makes it a priority to go the extra-mile for our athletes in the classroom and for all students in general,” Smalley said. Rio Grande head men’s soccer coach Scott Morrissey was pleased with his team’s success in the classroom and hopes to see it continue in the future. “Certainly pleased, however, I’m sure that they could probably work a little harder in the classroom,” Morrissey said. “I would expect that they will maintain good grades like that and hopefully that continues to improve and the grade point average will increase for next year.” “Hopefully that’s something that the guys will take serious as we try to implement that same type of discipline off the field as we try to do on the field,” he added. “I’m proud and hopefully it will improve.” It is Morrissey’s desire, as well as the other coaches, to see his athletes ‘win’ off the field as well as on the field. “Obviously they’re not going to play soccer all their life,” he said. “Hopefully they’ve got a good education and a good foundation from us that will lead them to bigger and better things when their eligibility is complete.” Rio Grande head women’s track and field coach Bob Willey was unavailable for comment. For a team to be considered for the NAIA Scholar Team award, it must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) as defined by the institution. The team grade point average must include all varsity student-athletes certified as eligible. For a complete list of the 2009-10 NAIA Scholar Teams log onto to www.naia.cstv.com. GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) — Pacman Jones was a celebrated firstround draft choice whose career was sidetracked for violating the NFL’s personal code of conduct. Adam Jones is just a cornerback trying to prove to the Cincinnati Bengals that the talent of “Pacman” remains, minus the baggage. The 26-year-old Jones is attempting a comeback after sitting out all of last season when none of the league’s 32 teams would take a chance on him. “I’ve got a lot to work on,” said Jones, following his first day of practice with the Bengals at Georgetown College. “It was my first time playing press coverage in two years, so it was a tough first day. I was on the ground way too many times. But it’s good to have a first day.” Tennessee made Jones the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft, and he started 28 games in his first two seasons with the Titans. In the last three years, however, he has played in just nine. He missed the entire 2007 season with the first of two leaguemandated suspensions. The Titans traded Jones to Dallas before the 2008 draft, but an Big Ten from Page B1 “I don’t know that we’ll be able to preserve every trophy game or every rivalry game, but I can tell you that we’re going to go through great lengths to make sure the traditions and the rivalries are respected,” Delany said. “I’ve seen other expansions where you expand your conference, you don’t increase the number of games and play each other less.” Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne said “there’s a framework there that’s pretty good” for the division alignment, although nothing’s been decided. With the championship game, it’s possible teams could meet alcohol-related altercation with a bodyguard the Cowboys provided for him cost Jones another six games and, eventually, his job. Two workouts during this offseason showed the Bengals enough that they signed Jones in May to a two-year contract worth the league minimum. He is battling for playing time behind starters Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall in a defensive unit that ranked fourth overall in the NFL last season in yards allowed. He’s listed No. 2 on the depth chart behind Joseph, but depth charts are nothing more than names written in pencil this time of the year. “His transition will be to play snap-after-snap football and prove that he can do that in a competitive environment all of the time,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “He needs to be a disciplined player play in and play out, and execute the techniques and things we’re asking him to do.” The hoopla surrounding the acquisition and arrival of free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens last week kept the spotlight away from Jones. The players were teammates in Dallas. “He’s a lot quieter,” said Owens of the difference between Adam and “Pacman.” “Everybody knows their own abilities. He’s been out of football for a little bit so it’s going to take him some time to get his timing back, but as training camp progresses you get your timing back. When you’re drafted in the first round, that tells you about your talent level. You just have to play up to those expectations.” Adam Jones, like the rest of his new teammates, walks through a row of autograph seekers after every training camp practice. There are still shouts of “Pacman” from the crowd. They bring a wry smile to Jones’ face, but it’s the shouts of “Adam” that catch his attention and bring him to a halt. For those people, he’ll sign. twice and even in consecutive games. That could mean, for example, back-to-back games for Michigan against Ohio State. Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez has no problem with that. At the moment, they play on the final week and Rodriguez would like to continue that “just from a tradition standpoint.” The most important thing is they meet, period, whether they wind up in the same division or not. Further expansion remains a possibility, although Delany said the Big Ten “is not actively involved” at the moment. He said the league will probably decide in December whether to look into it again. If it does, Penn State coach Joe Paterno hopes the conference looks east. “It would help us particularly in the recruiting, the television and all those kinds of things, that are pluses that you get when you expand as we have with Nebraska,” he said. And he was in favor of adding the Cornhuskers, calling it “a good move for the Big Ten.” Penn State played them every year from 1979-83 when Osborne was their coach, but Paterno’s history against Nebraska goes back even farther. “I coached, actually, as an assistant coach long before — not long before, but before even Bob Devaney or Tom did, when Bill Glassford was coaching out there,” Paterno said. “They beat us out there and they had a great running back by — I think (Bobby) Reynolds was his name, one of the best backs in the country.” He was looking forward to seeing Osborne and got a chance to pose for a picture with him and Delany. For all the talk about maintaining traditions and rivalries, some coaches were looking forward to creating a new one with Nebraska. Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz called it “a home run” and “a great thing for the conference.” Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema approached the league about playing Nebraska in the season finale every year and likes the idea of a conference championship game. “I don’t know where it’s going to go,” he said. “But for me personally I think it would be a very exciting thing.” Jeffery Washington/Fort Worth Star-Telegram/MCT Pacman Jones answers questions from the media after Dallas Cowboys practice Wednesday, June 4, 2008, in Irving, Texas.

Delhomme finds new home in Cleveland BEREA, Ohio (AP) — For a refreshing change, there is no controversy over who will start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a stadium full of questions about the guy — Jake Delhomme — set to take the first snap at Tampa Bay on Sept. 12. Coming off a miserable season in Carolina where he encountered what one publication delicately called “a 13-month turnover problem,” the former Pro Bowler knows that at the age of 35 he has to prove all over again that he can lead an NFL offense. “The older you get — and this is the approach that I take — is that this is my last year,” he said. “Next year I’m going to say the same thing. You just don’t know in this league. I think you start to appreciate it more and start to enjoy it because this is a privilege.” Delhomme struggled with turnovers a year ago. He threw 18 interceptions and only eight touchdown passes. He looked old, he looked confused and he looked as if he was done. After seven strong years with the Panthers and a 58-40 record as a starter, his one poor season resulted in the Panthers releasing him in early March. Hiding his tears behind sunglasses, Delhomme, a horse owner, vowed that he wasn’t “ready to go home and play with the horses just yet.” His time had clearly run out in Carolina, where fans were relentless in mocking him for his mistakes. At the same time, the Browns were starting over at the position, releasing Derek Anderson and trading Brady Quinn to Denver. They had jostled for the starting job in an ongoing drama that seemed disruptive and distractive. About a week after his release, Delhomme signed a two-year deal with the Browns that will pay him a guaranteed $7 million the first season. The Browns also acquired Seneca Wallace from Seattle and drafted former Texas star Colt McCoy in the third round, providing an entirely new cast under center. Despite his errant throws last season, and despite his age, Delhomme became the starter almost by default. New Browns president Mike Holmgren said he was a marked improvement. “The quarterback situation is much more solid and that improves a team immediately,” Holmgren said. “By how much? We don’t know. But it’s solid. I know — I know — we’re in a better spot at that position than last year.” Delhomme looked good in offseason workouts and has gained the confidence of secondyear coach Eric Mangini. “Jake is an older guy who has got a real presence and he’s got a real control of the offense,” he said after Saturday’s first workout of fall camp. “He’s got a lot of respect, which is deserved for the things that he has been able to do. But he backs that up with his work ethic and he backs it up with his leadership.” It’s hard to quantify how bad the Browns QBs were last season. Cleveland was at or near the bottom in the NFL in many passing stats, and was a distant last with just under 130 yards a game through the air. To put that into perspective, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Matt Schaub, Tony Romo and Tom Brady each averaged more than twice that many passing yards per game. So anybody who can fling the ball down the field with any degree of consistency is a welcome addition in Cleveland. Delhomme invites the scrutiny and pressure that comes with the job. “When you suit up on Sunday, you are one of 32 in the world,” he said, referring to NFL starting quarterbacks. “There’s a great deal of, if you want to call it pressure or expectations, but I think there’s a reason that quarterbacks play quarterback. To get to this level, you’ve had to kind of go through that at some point. You embrace it, ‘OK, this is what I’ve got to do.’ It becomes a pride thing and you want to do well and you want to be the guy to help your team win.” Whether Delhomme is that guy remains to be seen. A four-game winning streak to cap a 5-11 season a year ago saved Mangini’s job and provided a spark of hope for Cleveland. It didn’t take long for Delhomme to shove that nightmarish 2009 out of his brain. “I’ve put it behind me. Whenever your locker gets boxed up in Carolina, OK, it’s behind you now,” he said with a laugh. “But I’ve had a fresh start here. It’s new. I don’t want to be that guy who sweeps things under the rug. Yeah, it happened. I think you learn from it. With the new plays, fresh start, things are going extremely well so far. I’m looking forward to another season.” Golf par-70 course. Goydos’ came on a par 71 and the others on par 72s. Appleby understands there might be some debate as to whether his achievement is right up there with the others. “I agree,” he said. “I can see both sides of the fence. It is a number. I shot that number. But who says par is supposed to be 72? There’s a lot of great courses that aren’t 72.” Appleby didn’t have the advantage of lift, clean and place that Goydos and Geiberger enjoyed, even though overnight rains left mud on some balls. Appleby trailed Overton by seven strokes to start his round, shot 6under 28 on the front nine and eagled the par-5 12th before settling for three straight pars. He got his momentum going again just in time with birdies of 15, 10 and 11 feet on the final three holes. Standing over his putt on 18, “I knew what it was all about,” Appleby said. “I knew I had to make it — I knew I had to make it for the tournament, I knew I had to make it to have a 59. I’m sitting there going ‘How many opportunities are you going to get to do this? “The cards had been laying out perfectly for me all day. Why wasn’t I going to do one more? I just got a good look at it and just — bang — it felt good.” Appleby’s feat toppled the course record of 60 set by Sam Snead in 1950 and matched Saturday by J.B. Holmes. The 39-year-old Appleby has played 11 straight weeks and will do it again starting Thursday at the Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio. Overton had 34 putts in the final round, threeputting three times. “I got beat by a 59,” said Overton, who had his third runner-up finish of the year and remains winless in five years on the Tour. “What can you say? I played great, hit a lot of great shots. You can’t win golf tournaments when you putt it that bad.” Brendon de Jonge (65) finished third at 17 under. Tied at 15 under were Points (70), Woody Austin (63), Paul Stankowski (64), Roger Tambellini (65) and Jimmy Walker (67). from Page B1 in.” Appleby’s round came less than a month after Paul Goydos shot a 59 at the John Deere Classic. The others to shoot 59 were Al Geiberger at the 1977 Memphis Classic, Chip Beck at the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational and David Duval at the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. Appleby had nine birdies and an eagle in his round to earn the $1.08 million winner’s check. He saw playing partner D.A. Points flirt with a 59 on Saturday before settling for a 61. On Sunday, it was Appleby’s turn. “It was nice to be on the receiving end,” Appleby said. Appleby won for the first time since the 2006 Houston Open. His previous career low was 62 in the 2003 Las Vegas Invitational. Appleby’s achievement was the first 59 on a It’s all about you! Manicures, Pedicures & Acrylics We do it all!

Browns from Page B1 franchise mark by 49 yards) on 34 carries and scored on runs of 71, 8 and 28 yards in a 41-34 victory at Kansas City. A week later, he picked up 138 yards and a TD on a club-record 39 carries as the Browns beat Oakland 23-9. Then he closed out the season with 127 yards on 33 carries and another score in a 23-17 win over Jacksonville. That gave Harrison 561 yards rushing over the last three games. The only NFL backs to gain more over a similar span are O.J. Simpson (twice), Walter Payton, Ricky Williams, Mike Anderson and Earl Campbell (twice). Coach Eric Mangini, whose job was saved by the late rushing revival, described what the running game was like in the stretch run. “It was like a flood,” he said, grinning. “That’s all it was. We needed to get that dam out of the way and then it flowed.” Even though Harrison was the central figure in that flood, it didn’t earn him any pats on the back. The Browns traded up to grab second-round draft pick Montario Hardesty out of Tennessee. Some have already pegged Hardesty as the guy who will start the opener on Sept. 12 at Tampa Bay, even though that prediction took a hit when Hardesty twisted his right knee two days before camp opened. Now he’s rehabbing the knee, which didn’t require surgery. The club also traded with Denver to get big back Peyton Hillis, who has been one of the brightest spots during training camp. He figures to back up Vickers at fullback, see action as a receiver out of the backfield in passing situations, and to spell Harrison and Hardesty at running back. “At this moment, they’ve pretty much had me do a little bit of everything,” the 6-foot-2, 250-pound Hillis said in his Arkansas drawl. “They’re trying to get me adjusted to a couple of positions on the team, to see where I fit in.” Meanwhile, everyone wonders if Harrison, a 59, 205-pound Michigan native who seldom played much until his late heroics in 2009, can do it over the long haul. “Quit writing it!” he yelled at reporters in jest, referring to questions about his durability. “No, I don’t get tired of hearing it. It’s because of my size. That’s just something people write about. I don’t know what the heck it means. When big running backs get hurt, it’s OK, it’s fine, but when a little running back gets hurt, he’s injury prone and this and that. You just laugh at stuff like that because it really doesn’t make any sense.” Harrison, who got married this summer, teased and laughed with reporters. But it’s clear that he still chafes at all the doubts swirling around him. “He does have a chip on his shoulder,” said Vickers. “This is a year where he’s coming in off an amazing last year. People want to see if he’s for real or not. And he’s for real.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
