WATCH OUR AUCTION LIVE @ w w w. d v a u c t i o n . c o m

By The Associated Press Washington's Jake Browning is hoping to repeat what Baker Mayfield did last year.

Mayfield was a Heisman Trophy longshot in the preseason, but ended up winning the award while leading Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff for the second time in three years.

Browning was sixth in the Heisman voting two years ago after leading the Huskies to the Pac-12 title and the playoff, where they lost to Alabama in the semifinals. His productivity declined last year though as his touchdowns fell from 43 to 19.

Washington was 10-3 last season, but is the preseason favorite to win the Pac 12.

Browning and the Huskies will also have an early opportunity to make a favorable impression to rest of the nation as they face Auburn in the opener in Atlanta on Sept. 1.

Browning — who has thrown for over 9,000 yards and 78 touchdowns the past three seasons — is facing high expectations, but none might be bigger than what coach Chris Peterson expects out of the senior.

"Jake plays really good football and has made some spectacular plays in his career," Peterson said. "We're looking for him to do that at the most difficult position in football at a really high, elite level play after play after play."

A look at other Heisman longshots

son before finishing 7-6.

CAM AKERS, RB, Florida State New coach Willie Taggart says that the theme of his offense is "lethal simplicity."

That is also an apt description of Akers.

The sophomore had four 100-yard games last season along with setting Florida State's freshman rushing record with 1,025 yards. Akers will be counted on early to be a focal point of Taggart's offense, starting with the Sept. 3 opener against Virginia Tech.

BRIAN LEWERKE, QB, Michigan State The junior is a dual-threat quarterback who accounted for 3,352 yards of total offense as the Spartans won 10 games last season. With the turmoil surrounding Ohio State, Michigan State could end up as the favorite in the Big Ten East.

RODNEY ANDERSON, RB, Oklahoma There have been only three occasions where the same school has produced different Heisman winners in back-to-back seasons. Anderson didn't even start until mid-season last year, but he finished with 1,442 yards and 18 touchdowns from scrimmage. In his best game, he had 290 yards and four touchdowns from scrimmage in a regular-season win over TCU. At 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, he is a powerhouse with breakaway speed and good enough hands to have grabbed five touchdown receptions last season.

Future Bright For Woods After PGA Koepka Stands As Roadblock

,

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Over an ear-splitting afternoon in which most of the cheers weren't for him, Brooks Koepka got a taste of what golf feels like when Tiger Woods is in the hunt.

And in his exhilarating but ultimately futile attempt to catch Koepka at the PGA Championship, Woods got a taste of what it's going to take to get back on top in the majors.

Woods provided the thrills Sunday — a fist-pumping, club-slamming, roller-coaster ride of a final round in which he threatened from beginning to end but couldn't knock Koepka out of the lead, or deny him the trophy.

Koepka heard the commotion in front of him all day — "You could hear a different roar like every 30 seconds, so we knew what was going on," he said — but did what he does best at the majors: He put on a calm, collected show of precision golf to hold off Woods by two shots and become only the fifth person to win a U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year.

When it was over, Woods

had a warm hug and a huge smile for the guy he calls "Brooksy."

"It's tough to beat when the guy hits it 340 down the middle," Woods said. "When a guy's doing that and hitting it straight, and as good a putter as he is, it's tough to beat."

Koepka set the PGA Championship record with a fourday score of 16-under 264. His best shot over a final round of 4-under 66 was a lasered 4iron to the 16th green that landed 6 feet away and set up a birdie. That gave Koepka a two-shot cushion that allowed him to coast into the finish, much the way he did at Shinnecock earlier this summer, and at Erin Hills in last year's U.S. Open.

Drama? That was Woods' domain.

Boy did he deliver.

Over a wild first nine holes, Woods didn't hit a single fairway off the tee but got up and down from everywhere. He needed a grand total of 10 putts to make the turn in 3under 32 and stay within two shots.

He hit a poor approach on No. 11, but stared down a 30foot putt for birdie that would have kept momentum on his side. The ball came to rest on the inner-edge of the cup — much like the famous chip-in on the 16th hole at Augusta in 2005. That one went in.

one stayed out, and Woods bent down and dropped his hands to his knees in agony.

But he did not quit. He hit an approach to 5 feet for birdie on 12, then a tee shot to 10 for another birdie on 13.

Roars echoed through the trees at Bellerive.

"We didn't mention it at all," said Koepka's caddie, Ricky Elliott. "It was pretty evident what Tiger was doing."

Woods could've made it louder.

He had a 20-foot putt on No. 16 to capture a share of the lead, but pushed it barely off line. He followed by blocking his drive on 17 to the right of a creek that skirts the righthand side of the par-5 hole. He scrambled for a par there when he really needed a birdie and was three back once he reached the 18th fairway.

For one final flourish, Woods sank a 19-foot putt for a birdie that got him to 14 under and pumped his fist to celebrate.

"Making that putt at least gave me a chance," Woods said.

He needed Koepka to collapse over the last two holes.

It wasn't going to happen.

Koepka is proving to be the prototype player for his generation and beyond — a 28-yearold workout nut who splits time between the weight room and the driving range. He's got deft touch and a pure putting stroke, but is more about overpowering golf courses than overthinking them.

He has now won three majors over the past 14 months

— and joins Jordan Spieth, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Woods as the only players since World War II with three majors before turning 30.

Getting the best of Koepka sets up as a daunting challenge for Woods, though the 42year-old, 14-time major winner could easily argue he's been through worse.

He's had multiple back surgeries, and as recently as 11 months ago, wasn't able to swing a golf club.

He has now contended on the back nine on Sunday in consecutive majors — making it clear that Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Spieth and the rest of that generation could very well have to deal with him, and all the baggage that comes with him, in majors in 2019 and beyond.

"This is the first real Tiger effect I've experienced, with that many people," said defending champion Justin Thomas, who played two groups ahead and finished tied for sixth.

While Woods has never been one to celebrate a loss, he couldn't help but feel good about the road he's taken over the past year — one that ended with a tantalizingly close call at Bellerive.

"I'm in uncharted territory," Woods said. "I had to kind of ' out on my own and figure this it's been really hard — a lot harder than people think. And I'm just very pleased at what I've done so far ... going from where I've come from, to now over the last year, it's been pretty cool."

looking to improve their odds: ED OLIVER, DT, Houston The junior might have set the record for being the earliest to announce that he is entering the NFL Draft. But there is good reason for that as Oliver might be the top pick. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive lineman faces huge odds to win, but with 38 1/2 tackles for loss the last two seasons and the possibility that coach Major Applewhite could use him on some offensive plays, he could at least get to New York as one of the finalists.

McKENZIE MILTON, QB, Central Florida Milton was eighth in the voting last year after he led the Knights to an improbable 13-0 record and a victory over Alabama in the Peach Bowl. He was second in the nation in passing efficiency (179.3) and yards per attempt (10.22), finishing behind Mayfield. UCF though has a new coach in Josh Heupel after Scott Frost left for Nebraska. Also hampering Milton's bid is a lack of weekly exposure. The Knights first national appearance won't be until Sept. 15 against North Carolina.

DREW LOCK, QB, Missouri Lock set an Southeastern Conference record last season with 44 touchdown passes. Three SEC quarterbacks have won the award since 2007, but the senior is going to need to produce wins for a Tigers squad that lost five of its first six last sea-

BUSY JULY IN SEVENTH DISTRICT

Hello Seventh District.

The month of July certainly took its toll on agriculture in the Seventh District. During my travels from Brimson to Marceline as well as Shelby to Ludlow, the crops and pastures did not look good anywhere. A few places look better than others nonetheless, the damage is done. I think I can wait two or three more weeks before I will have to feed something extra to my cows.

I had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting and celebration at Nestle in Trenton on July 10. Many people were involved with the success of Nestle’s purchase of the Con-Agra. Ralph Boots, Phil Tate, and Micah Landes managed the process from beginning to end. Several entities also worked together to keep the plant in operation, which included the Trenton city government, Grundy County, the state of Missouri and North Central Missouri College. They each played a role in the process.

The final group that I especially want to thank is the employees at the old ConAgra and new Nestle. They had the greatest role by exhibiting the ability to make the plant successful. Nestle would not have had such an interest if the employees were not helping produce a superior product in a productive environment with the opportunity to create profit. I realize that several employees were not employed

by Nestle when the plant reopened but I believe there is an opportunity to increase produc-

tion and therefor employment opportunities remain possible.

The day of the open house I saw past students and parents of students which reiterated to me that Nestle’s footprint is larger than Trenton and Grundy County.

Thank you again employees for making this possible.

On July 17, I participated in a budget committee meeting at the capitol. The discussion primarily focused on three items. One was Gov. Parson’s line item veto in various budget bills. The second was reimbursement changes made by managed care providers to organizations providing the actual care (primary hospitals). This is a very complicated and complex issue.

The managed care decision was made before I was elected and my guess is it will be a point of contention for a long while. Managed care organizations oversee and pay for services provided to Medicaid recipients. The third item discussed was a contract with an organization researching areas of state government then providing recommendations to the governor’s office and the legislature that should make our government agencies more efficient. No decisions were made and the meeting was for discussion and to allow people to provide testimony on these three issues.

On July 19 I attended two meetings in Cameron. One meeting included time with prison administration, as well as time with employees at Crossroads Correctional Center. The

LOCAL

second meeting was only with employees at Western Missouri Correctional Center. The meetings were an opportunity to learn about the staffing problems at both facilities. The lack of adequate staff is causing pressure on all employees to adequately complete their normal duties, and then take on the extra duties they must be assigned. The correctional staff are very dedicated to each other and support their supervisors and vice-versa. The staff shared many examples of their dedication to each other and support they provide to other employees and families.

Many of the staff are disappointed in legislators like myself.

The legislative branch has a direct impact on their lives through the decisions we make in the budget, as well as other laws.

The other legislators that attended the meeting also gained new insight into what needs to be addressed in the coming months. We also learned that sometimes when we try to improve a situation we may actual make things worse, and it is important to include several in our conversations as we try to make a positive difference.

On a personal note, I have also been able to travel to Lincoln, NE to see my niece that was in the wreck as well as my sister-in law that had a stroke on June 5. Sometimes I find it difficult to see the good in technology, but to visit both of them and see their improvement is a great reminder that research, technology and the people that put them to good use make a major difference in our world. My niece was able to say, “bye.”

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact my office. Also, you can follow me on social media.

THE Daily Commuter Puzzle by Jacqueline E. Mathews

D

ear Annie Written by Annie Lane

To find out more about Annie Lane, visit the Creators Syndicate website at www.creators.com.

Dear Annie: My family (my husband, our young kids and I) vacations with two other families once or twice a year. My husband went to school with the other two husbands, and they are best friends. I have developed great friendships with their wives, and our kids are all similar ages and get along.

We have a great time, but one of the husbands always finds a way to make me uncomfortable. During our most recent vacation, while we were saying our goodbyes and loading up the cars, he grabbed my breast as he pulled me in for a hug. I was stunned and immediately pulled away. He quickly turned around and went on to hug everyone else as if nothing had happened. I debated whether to say anything, but I let it go. However, this violation keeps eating at me. (The other time he made me feel uncomfortable was when the adults had all met up for a long weekend. While dancing at a concert, he came up behind me and starting grinding against me. I thought he was joking and laughed at him, but he continued until I left the dance floor. He did this when his wife

had gone to the bathroom and my husband was getting drinks, so I think it was purposeful.)

If I told my husband, I'm sure he would cut off his friendship with this guy. I'm torn because I would hate to see my husband lose one of his good friends and for us to lose out on these otherwise great vacations.

I backed out of the most recent adult vacation (claiming our baby sitter had bailed) because I just wanted to avoid this guy. Yet in the wake of the #MeToo movement, why should I miss out on vacation time when it's this guy who is making me feel uncomfortable? I share everything with my husband, so keeping this from him is making me feel awkward.

Should I forgive these transgressions and keep them to myself or find a way to tell the guy to knock it off or let my husband know what's going on? -Quiet for Now Dear Quiet for Now: It's not your job to protect this predator. Whatever fallout comes is what he's got coming to him.

He's repeatedly made very conscious, calculated decisions to

violate you. Our actions have consequences, and he is no exception. Tell your husband what's up, and don't worry about his losing a "good friend." This man was never a good friend.

Dear Annie: I would like to offer an alternative viewpoint for "Child of the South." I think that sometimes we jump to conclusions about why people do what they do and then judge them on what we think are the facts. "Child of the South" is assuming her sister-in-law feels entitled. Though that may be the case, it may also be that her sister-in-law is embarrassed about the condition of her houses, or perhaps she feels that she doesn't cook as well as "Child of the South." There could be many reasons, but to get angry without knowing for sure could harm an otherwise excellent relationship. I hope "Child of the South" chooses a way to either talk with her sister-in-law or find a way to enjoy her company without the expectation that the hospitality will be reciprocated. Loving relationships are hard enough to maintain without destroying them by keeping score. -Counting Blessings Rather Than Beans Dear Counting Blessings: I love your signature. Yours is an attitude we should all strive for.

Thanks for writing.

Here come the buybacks It’s beach and buyback season. August has traditionally been the hottest month of the year for companies repurchasing their own stock.

If this month follows suit — in what’s expected to be the busiest year for buyback announcements in history — it would provide big support for stocks at a time when investors are feeling antsy about trade wars and the threat of higher interest rates.

Companies are one of the most important sources of demand for their own shares when mutual-fund investors and pension funds are busy selling. Over the last decade, August has accounted for 13 percent of all the money that companies have spent on buybacks over the year, according to Goldman

Sachs. If they split the purchases up evenly, each month would account for 8 percent.

This year, Goldman Sachs’ buyback desk estimates companies may authorize a record $1 trillion in repurchases, which would be a 46 percent surge from last year. A jump in profits is giving companies more financial power, thanks to lower tax rates and a growing economy.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway last month made it easier for the company to buy back its own stock, for example. It used to be able to buy shares only if they were below 120 percent of the stock’s book value, which is how much accountants say the company is worth.

Percent of annual repurchases, by month*

Buyback boost: August

ranks as the number one month for companies to repurchse their own shares.
