County fair begins today

BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com

TROY — With the Miami County Fair beginning tomorrow the hustle and bustle of placing the finishing touches on this year’s fair are nearly complete.

This year’s fair will offer the usual mainstays, from the livestock shows to musical entertainment and from strolls down the midway to, of course, fair food.

But this year’s fair also will be offering a heaping helping of new attractions, such as a chainsaw-wielding wood carver, a talented ventriloquist, daily tiger shows, mixed martial arts cage-fighting and the rock band, Hinder. (Dates and times for fair events, including these, can be found at www. miamicountyohiofair.com.)

Mike Jess, fair board president, and Jill

Wright, fair manager, were busy at the fair office Wednesday and both said that this year’s Miami County Fair will have something for everybody.

“We’ve never had, basically, a rock and roll band before,” Jess said.

While fair officials have been planning this fair since last year they were still ironing out some last minute details and tasks in the weeks leading up to the fair, including the petting zoo and pony rides attraction canceling last Thursday. Jess said the void was filled, which was accomplished thanks to the help of fellow fair boards in Shelby and Champaign counties.

The largest variable for the fair — weather — was also on the mind of fair planners and organizers.

“What I’ve seen on the forecast is a 40 percent chance of rain Friday, but the outlook for Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

looks really good, low 80s temperatures, perfect fair weather,” Jess said. “I haven’t seen anything past Tuesday, but what I’ve see so far it’s good weather except for the chance of rain on Friday.”

The weather plays the largest part in whether or not attendance figures this year will beat attendance figures from last, which is what Jess and Wright are hoping for.

“We’re looking to be over 115,000,” Jess said. “That’s our goal, to break last year’s attendance.”

Wright said she feels they can get the higher attendance this year and encouraged everyone to come out.

“For five dollars you can sit here all day and watch a show, walk around and visit with your friends and neighbors,” Wright added. “It’s really, really cheap, too.”

The fair runs from tomorrow through next Thursday.

Concert to benefit charity Miami Valley Music Festival set for Friday and Saturday

Obama calls off Putin summit amid Snowden tensions

By AMY MAXWELL For Civitas Media amaxwell579@gmail.com

TROY — Area music lovers are gearing up for the Miami Valley Music Festival taking place Friday and Saturday at the Eagles Campground in Troy on TroyUrbana Road.

“MVMF is a creation of musicians and music lovers and they put all their energy into it,” marketing director Todd Oaks said.

That same energy Oaks refers to generates more than just a great music festival.

“You participate in a music festival and you hear lots of good feedback from everyone, but the MVMF wanted to push that ‘feel good’ to the next level,” Oaks said.

The non-profit organization Miami Valley Music Festival Association is a public charity with the purpose of hosting music events to raise funds and awareness for local charitable causes. The MVMF is the organizations’ big event of the year.

“We spend money to put the festival on, and we make that money back, and then whatever is made on top of that benefits local charities,” Oaks said.

Since its creation in 2008, the MVMFA has donated more than $7,000 to local charity organizations. Past recipients include the Cancer Center at Upper Valley Medical Center, Channel 5 Public

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a rare diplomatic rebuke, President Barack Obama called off an upcoming Moscow summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, sending a stern message of disapproval over Russia’s harboring of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

Although U.S. frustration with Moscow has been growing over other key issues such as missile defense and human rights, it was Russia’s decision to grant Snowden asylum in defiance of Obama’s repeated requests that dealt the latest blow to uneasy U.S. relations with a former Cold War foe.

Japanese students visit Troy

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Sayonara tomodachi!

Troy teens served as tour guides as 10 students and three adult chaperons visited from Troy’s sister city of Takahashi, Japan and said good-bye to their guests today.

Language barriers aside, Troy students gave Takahashi teens a taste of American life during their short visit to Troy this week.

Isabelle Minesinger, 11, was the host family for 13 year-old Hikari Kawakami, whose sister has traveled to Troy in delegation exchanges in the past.

Minesinger shared the American way of life with Kawakami, who arrived in Troy on Aug. 2 for the 11th student exchange between the two cities.

“We went shopping at the Fairfield Mall and then we took her to Young’s Dairy,”

Stonebridge development seeks help

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — The home owner’s association in the Stonebridge residential development presented its “wish list” for the 3.254 acres of city-owned park land, yet city park board officials said funds are not available at the current time to develop green spaces due to the strain of

its annual budgetat the park board meeting on Tuesday.

Jerald Yost, a resident of the Stonebridge development, presented several ideas to develop the 3.254 acres of open space which currently includes four trees — two that must be removed due to the emerald ash borer.

Yost said since the development is in its final stages of custom home building, the home owner association and

the community would like to know if the park land could be developed with a walking trail and other amenities.

“We’d like to see the space made in to a park,” Yost said to the park board at its meeting Tuesday. “We are proud of our development and have something

Casstown man injured in farming accident Mike Ullery For Civitas Media mullery@civitasmedia.com

CASSTOWN — A Casstown man was injured in a farming accident on his rural Miami County farm, in the 1600 block of North State Route 201, when a Bobcat he was driving tipped over, throwing the man from the machine, pinning him.

Casstown Fire Chief Chad Loy said his department, “got called out to a 71 year old trapped under a Bobcat,” shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Authories said the victim, Roger Cavanaugh, 71, was apparently feeding livestock and had a large bale of hay on the front of the Bobcat when it tipped forward, throwing Cavanaugh out of the front of the Bobcat and pinning him beneath the machine.

Fire and rescue personnel from Casstown and Christiansburg were able to free Cavanaugh and, “the injuries were bad enough that we felt that CareFlight needed to be called,” Loy said.

Cavanaugh was transported to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment where he was listed in serious condition Wednesday afternoon.

Broadcasting and the Troy Rec Center. Along with the annual festival, the association puts on a donor ball and quarter auctions as well.

“A little bit really goes a long way; we’ve donated linens to the Family Abuse Shelter and cleaning supplies to the Lincoln Community Center,” Oaks said. “Festival-goers receive a flyer during the festival and they can vote for their favorite charity to determine where the funds will go.”

The festival will feature four stages — three outdoor and one indoor acoustic stage- with a musical line-up of rock, blues, bluegrass, reggae, electronic and more. The festival features free tent camping, food from local vendors, art displays by local artists, dance performances and informational booths hosted by local charities.

“This year’s event is not only the biggest yet in terms of showcasing incredible talent, but also in promoting local charity organizations. Any charity in the Miami Valley is encouraged to host a free booth at the event to expose a young audience to the many ser-

vices and volunteer opportunities available in the area. We are not only raising money for local charities, we are raising awareness,” Oaks said.

MVMFA board member and West Milton resident Susan Willis appreciates that the money stays local.

“I think its great to have all these bands perform, but what makes it even better is that they are giving back in the process, and that the giving back remains local,” she said.

The festival also promotes volunteerism by offering anyone who volunteers eight hours of their time to help with the festival with free admission to the festival, whether it’s in preparation beforehand or clean-up efforts afterwards.

New this year is the ability to buy tickets for Saturday only. Tickets are $45 for the weekend and $35 for Saturday’s line-up.

Stonebridge n Continued from page 1 other than a big empty lot.”

The park land is adjacent to the Concord Elementary School, yet the pathway to the school is often muddy and unusable due to the grass-only path, especially in the spring.

Yost said other items on the residents’ “wish list” includes exercise stations, a drinking fountain and other amenities found in other city parks.

“This is park property and we are asking for the park’s help to take an interest in this,” Yost said. “We want to work with park commission to work with these plans.”

Board president Al Kappers said he appreciated Yost’s presentation and time to bring the suggestions to the park board’s attention, yet limited funding in the park’s budget posed a roadblock to add to the park’s bottom line.

“It all comes down to money,” Kappers said, noting the labor and maintenance of the 300 acres of city

parks. The city does mow and maintain Stonebridge park. Kappers asked Yost if their HOA had researched the cost for such amenities, and Yost said the HOA had not looked in to the costs of the additions to the park.

Kappers said money is tight for the city parks’ budget and money to maintain the city’s centralized parks are often priority.

Kappers noted that a paved walking path could cost more than $50,000 for asphalt and a wood chip path could be a lower cost alternative, although maintenance is an issue. Park superintendent Jeremy Drake said it cost $25,000 for 1,800 linear feet of the city’s bike path recently. Drake said the park department would take care of the dead trees. Drake offered to use grass seed to improve the grass in the Stonebridge park which the department had readily available.

Kappers offered Yost advice to contact Stonebridge’s city council members for advice on how to proceed.

Kappers also said surplus park land sales, like the

approximately $50,000 sale of two parcels in the Stonebridge development goes to the city’s general fund, not the park funds.

“The money generated by those lots, we don’t get that money back,” Kappers said. “We hear you on the improvement, we wish we had new money.”

Kappers said the maintenance issues would be addressed and for Yost to possibly pursue grants for the proposal.

At-large city councilwoman Robin Oda attended the park board meeting and said a group of residents from Stonebridge addressed the park issue during the Stonebridge Meadows park land issue in recent years.

Oda said the fence to Concord School has been removed but most of the the path to the school was only a grassy field path. Oda agreed with Yost that a more accessible path for students to the school “would be ideal.”

Japanese n Continued from page 1 Minesinger said Tuesday at Troy Junior High School. The Takahashi teens were treated to a Troy Pop Rocks performance and jump rope clinic on Tuesday as part of their group activities in the city of Troy.

Kawakami listed off the numerous types of ice cream she saw at Young’s Dairy.

“They had so many,” Kawakami said.

“They had strawberry ice cream and even coffee ice cream — it was good, fun.”

Minesinger said she enjoyed coming up with American things for her to do v Kawakami, such as shopping and outdoor activities.

“She bought a lot of stuff when we went shopping,” she said. “I also took her grocery shopping at Meijer and Walmart so she could see our big stores.”

Troy High School freshmen Maria Poggi took her Takahashi City visitor Nanako Egusa to Fulton Farms and Carriage Hill Metro Parks and a night life tour of Troy.

“We walked around downtown and

looked at all the sculptures and the nightlife in Troy,” Poggi said. “We also took her to see the covered bridge (Eldean Bridge) and places like that.”

Poggi said Egusa brought her many gifts, including a summer kimono called a yukata, from Japan. She said the gifts quickly became a topic of conversation between the two.

“She brought me chopsticks and an origami book and paper,” Poggi said.

“We bonded a lot over the origami — I enjoyed it a lot.”

Poggi shared that she and Egusa still have created a fast friendship despite the language barrier.

“We have our own way of conversation,” Poggi said. “She understands me and I understand her and we can communicate without the words just fine.”

Poggi also said Egusa enjoyed her larger than life dogs.

“She loves our Great Pyrenees and our Lab,” Poggi said.

Poggi even hosted a typical American sleepover with friends for Egusa to enjoy.

“I always have friends over and I thought an American sleepover is sharing my side of life and how I live my life,” she said.

For Matthew Burger and Timmy Farrier, sports brought the two closer to their Takahashi City visitors.

“We went to Young’s Dairy and went to the batting cages,” Burger said.”He also likes to play badminton.”

“Baseball, yes!” Yuya Hoskama said as he was listening to the conversation.

Burger also gave Yuya a tour of downtown Troy and to the mall as well. The teens all got a chance to tour the Miami County Courthouse with a climb to the top of the dome of the county seat.

“It’s fun, we can sort of understand each other by now,” Burger said. “We went to the mall and they bought a lot of stuff.”

Burger laughed when he said his Japanese friend scooped up NFL “beanie babies” stuffed animals to take back with him. Another unusual item Yuya liked amused Burger as well.

“They love American water bottles —

they turned them in to water guns,” he said with a laugh.

Farrier traveled to Takahashi City last year and enjoyed hosting Masayuki Inoue, the Japanese teen he stayed with overseas.

“It’s a completely different culture,” Farrier said. ‘It’s been a good experience for everybody.”

Farrier said he took Inoue to the mall, Ohio Caverns and a Cincinnati Reds game.

Several families also collaborated to host a large outdoor cookout for the neighborhood to join to greet the visitors.

The Takahashi City visitors also included Michihiko Tanaka, a principal of one of Takahashi City’s junior high schools, Eiko Tahara, an English teacher and Takahashi City employee Yuko Nishikawa. All visitors stayed with host families around the city of Troy. The group attended a breakfast with Mayor Beamish during their stay and ended with a farewell dinner on Wednesday.

Cleveland house in kidnap, rape case is demolished CLEVELAND (AP) — With several swipes from the arm of an excavator and applause from spectators, a house where three women were held captive and raped for a decade was demolished Wednesday,

40364948

reduced to rubble in less than an hour and a half.

The demolition had the look of a neighborhood celebration, but some residents have been troubled by guilt for failing to notice tell-tale signs of the women’s imprisonment, like windows boarded up from the inside and the kidnapper’s practice of keeping visitors from going past the front room.

“It’s haunted them, I think, in the sense of how could they not have known,” said city Councilman Brian Cummins, who watched the demolition.

The home was torn down as part of the plea deal that

spared Ariel Castro a possible death sentence and forced him to turn over the deed to the house and pay for it to be razed. He was sentenced last week to life in prison plus 1,000 years.

One of the imprisoned women, Michelle Knight, showed up early Wednesday before the work began. She made a brief statement and released balloons into the air.

“Dear Lord, give the missing people strength and power to know that they are loved,” said Knight, who had rosary beads hanging from her neck. “We hear their cry.

They are never forgotten in

my heart. They are caterpillars, waiting to turn into a butterfly. They are never forgotten, they are loved.”

Knight said the array of balloons “represents all the millions of children that were never found and the ones that passed away that were never heard.”

There was applause as a relative of one victim represented the three and took the controls of the wrecking crane for the first smash into the top of the front wall. Later, as the house debris disappeared into the basement, church bells rang.

Police kept bystanders back to prevent souvenir

hunting for the debris, which was carted off in trucks.

Rich Comp, 51, who used to live two doors from the Castro house, said he was sorry about the ordeal of the victims and hopes the demolition will help lift spirits.

“I feel sorry for the girls.

They should tear it down,” he said.

Art McKoy, an anticrime crusader who has organized vigils for missing persons, watched the demolition and wondered why residents hadn’t questioned the house’s barricades.

“The neighbors, if they

had just paid a little more attention, and looked a little bit harder, they would have seen more and maybe we could have brought this to an end,” McKoy said.

Cummins, the city councilman, said some residents have taken advantage of mental health counseling arranged by the city.

“Many of them have lost a lot of sleep, lost their appetites in the first month or so,” Cummins said.

Prosecutors had intended to use $22,000 found in the house, including cash hidden in the washing machine, to pay for the demolition, but the work was donated.

Street resurfacing project OK’d by council

By CECILIA FOX

For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

TIPP CITY — Tipp City Council authorized the contract for a major street resurfacing project at Monday night’s council meeting. Council also heard updates on other city projects and discussed a nuisance abatement on Main Street.

Council accepted a bid from John R. Jurgensen Co. for the 2013 street resurfacing program at a cost of $442,871.

The streets that are scheduled for resurfacing are: Baneberry, Blauser, Burr Oak, Chaucer, Chelsea, Columbine, Commerce Park, Cottonwood Creek, Hickory Hill, Industry Park, Lantana, Larkspur, Re dwo o d Court, South Seventh Street, Stonecress, Stonehenge, Tweed and Whispering Pines.

The entrance, walking paths, drives and parking lots of City Park were also scheduled for resurfacing, but put the cost of the project over the city’s budget of $460,000 by about $13,000.

By delaying the repaving of the walking paths, drives, and the parking area near the Roundhouse, the cost of the project will be well under budget.

According to city engineer Scott Vagedes, these areas are in good enough shape that they can be delayed for several years.

The north parking lot and the entrance to City Park are still included in the 2013 project.

Council also discussed the nuisance abatement of a property at 620 W. Main St. Before the

homeowner arrived at the meeting, Council agreed to clean up the property and repaint the house at a cost of about $5,696.

Council received a complaint about the property at their June 3 meeting.

City staff inspected the property June 10 and noted several violations including long grass, accumulation of junk and garbage, abandoned vehicles, and peeling or unpainted exterior facades of the home.

The homeowner told council he did not understand why he was not invited to previous meetings, and that he had done “extensive work” to clean up the property and address the violations, cleaning up debris and preparing the house for a new coat of paint. He asked that the city give him more time to bring his property into compliance.

City manager Jon Crusey said that city staff will be out soon to reinspect the property to make sure progress has been made.

Bids for the Westedge utility replacement project are in and they are much higher than expected. The bids ranged from $922,466 and $967,600, greatly exceeding the engineer’s estimate of $875,703 and the city’s $600,000 budget.

The biggest budget discrepancy is due to an error in measurement. The project estimates incorrectly listed the length of the project as 1,750 feet, when it is closer to 2,500 feet. This caused the budget estimates to be about 30 percent too low for every aspect of the proj-

ect, including asphalt and water and sewer lines.

The city’s budget also assumed that a new pressure reducing valve could be placed on an existing water line near the service center, which is not the case. A recently completed study showed that the valve would need to be installed closer to Hyatt Street, resulting in the addition of 380 feet of water main and increasing the cost of the budget by $70,000.

Utilities Director Christy Butera proposed a new budget for the project, with the additional funds being budgeted in the 2014 capital improvements budget so the project can be bid later this year. The new proposed budget takes an additional $95,735 from the water fund, another $158,486 from the sewer fund, and previously unbudgeted money from the capital improvement fund and the water tower fund (about $114,000).

Funding for this project includes a $280,000 Ohio Public Works Commission grant and a zero interest, 20-year $160,000 loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority.

In other business, council also approved the purchase of roofing material for the Fire/EMS Station renovation project at a cost of $41,871.

Construction on Main Street is progressing, Crusey said. The base course of asphalt between First and Third streets began last week and sidewalk panels along the north side between First and Second are nearly complete.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Herald, Rock Hill, S.C., on HPV vaccination lagging: In Afghanistan, the Taliban has murdered United Nations health workers attempting to administer the polio vaccine in rural villagers and has convinced villagers that the vaccine is a Western plot to infect Afghan children.

While U.S. health workers aren’t being gunned down, misguided, backward thinking also has prevented American families from taking full advantage of a vaccine that could prevent thousands of cases of cervical cancer each year.

Researchers believe that the Gardasil vaccine to block infection by the human papillomavirus could prevent up to 70 percent of all cervical cancers and 90 percent of genital warts. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported last week that immunization rates across the nation have stalled over the last year. …

HPVs are the most common cause of sexually transmitted infections. More than half of people who are sexually active become infected with one of the more than 40 types of HPV that are known to spread during vaginal, oral or anal sex, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The viruses are responsible for nearly all cases of cervical cancer and most cases of anal cancer. The viruses also cause more than half of the cancers in the middle part of the throat and about half of vaginal, vulvular and penile cancers.

But the vaccine can practically eliminate that risk, especially if it is administered to teens before they become sexually active so their bodies can develop immunity. Since 2006, the Advisory Committee on Immunization practices has recommended routine vaccination of adolescent girls ages 11 or 12.

The need to inoculate children against HPV remains no matter who pays for it. We shouldn’t let superstition, ignorance - or false economy - deter us from ensuring that as many as possible receive this lifesaving vaccine.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph, W.Va., on Obama administration spins coal: Talk about contradictory statements. First, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz says President Barack Obama is committed to coal playing a role in a national energy strategy — a comment met with skepticism here in the coalfields. Then one day later, new EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy tells an audience at Harvard Law school that her agency will continue to aggressively push new rules targeting coal-fired power plants in order to crack down on global warming.

But that’s not all. McCarthy now says that curbing climate-altering pollution will spark ” … business innovation, grow jobs and strengthen the economy.”

Really? Has she visited the coalfields of southern West Virginia or Southwest Virginia lately? Has she seen all of the mine closures. Has she talked to local coal miners and families who are unemployed, or face an uncertain future? Has she spoken to those employees who work at coal-fired power plants now set to close — such as Appalachian Power’s Glen Lynn, Va., plant in Giles County?

Apparently not. Instead she claims that the tough new environmental regulations “won’t kill” jobs. Instead, she says the rules represent the “opportunity of a lifetime” to address global warming. McCarthy may be the EPA’s new administrator, but her comments represent the same old song and dance that we’ve seen and heard from the Obama administration, and it’s EPA, since 2008.

After all, this is the same president who once promised on the campaign trail in 2008 to bankrupt the coal industry.

That’s not to say that Moniz is intentionally trying to mislead folks. He is correct in pointing out that $6 billion has been invested in clean coal technology with a primary focus on capturing, storing and reusing carbon. We’ve seen such demonstration projects in our own region. But don’t forget that this is the same administration that squandered billions more in federal stimulus funds just a few years ago on unproven green technology companies and projects — some of which later went bankrupt. …

Now Obama is launching the first-ever federal regulations on carbon dioxide emitted by existing coal-fired power plants — and he’s doing so without congressional approval. Sometimes actions do speak louder than words. If the administration were truly serious about pushing coal as part of the nation’s national energy portfolio, its politically charged and unfairly overreaching EPA wouldn’t be trying so hard to destroy the industry.

Next time the administration tries to make a play for coalfield votes, it needs to get its message straight.

I’ve got a big problem with the Little League World Series Now that ESPN is ramping up its coverage of the series, a city or region first has to put together an Little League World Series, we’ll spend the next all-star team — which I’m sure feels really good to few weeks being deluged with bottom-of-the-screen all the 12-year-old kids who don’t make the all-star graphics in which the little leaguers are asked a team.

Then, this team first has to play in a district series of questions to help us get to know them a tournament, which consists of anywhere from little better.

They’ll be asked questions such as: “Who is your 10 to 20 teams. If this team is lucky enough to favorite professional baseball player?” and “What win the district tournament, it moves on to a is your favorite musical group?” and “Who is your regional tournament. There are only five regions in the United States — East, Central, South, favorite singer?” The players will dutifully Southwest and West. With only five regions answer these questions, which will then be in the entire United States, this mean’s a broadcast for all the world to see. team could have to travel quite a distance Here’s one question you won’t see ESPN — or anyone else for that matter — asking just to play in the regional tournament. The the kids participating in the Little League champions of each region then move on to World Series: “Are you having any fun?”

I’m sure it’s something they’ll News never forget so long as they live. But again, Executive right to become the Little League World it begs the question — is anyone actually Series champions.

Editor having any fun?

And, of course, there’s a little matter of And really, isn’t that supposed to be the the practices involved as well. I’m guessing point of youth sports? To learn how to play the teams don’t get to the Little League World Series game, to build teamwork skills and, at some point, without practicing every second they are not actuto have fun? ally playing in a game.

This isn’t meant to be a screed against youth Sounds like a lot of baseball and a lot of travel, sports. I have played youth sports, I have a child doesn’t it? Probably because it is.

sure if they actually do the impossible and win the Little League World Series, they are set for life, right? Winning a Little League World Series guarantees future success, right?

Let’s take the case of Cody Webster, shall we?

You probably don’t remember Cody Webster.

In 1982, Webster — who stood 5-foot-7, weighed 175 pounds and threw a fastball 75 miles per hour at the tender age of 12 — led his Kirkland, Wash. team to a stunning upset of a seemingly unbeatable team from Taiwan. Immediately, be became a national hero, appearing on “Good Morning America,” meeting the governor and throwing out the first pitch at Shea Stadium.

His future as a Major League Baseball player seemed all but set in stone.

Funny thing happened to Webster, however.

He only grew 4 inches after that game. Physically, eveyone else caught up with him. The fame he garnered from that victory quickly turned ugly. As other players caught up with him and surpassed him in ability, he became routinely mocked at baseball games — even being spat upon at times.

He went on to play at a small college — but only played one year before a shoulder injury derailed his career for good. He now leads a simple, quiet life in Washinigton — but still gets asked why he never had another moment in his life like he had when he was 12.

The greatest moment of Webster’s life essentially came and went before he even entered junior high school.

So no, I won’t be watching the Little League World Series on television for the next few weeks.

If I ever feel the need to take in a little league game, I’ll head on down to the Mark Knoop Baseball Complex.

At least there I know they will be having fun.

Parking a problem in Concord Township

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

CONCORD TWP. — More revisions and input from legal council is needed for a pending resolution to address commercial parking issues in regards to township residential roads, according to Concord Township trustees.

On Tuesday, Concord Township Trustee Bill Whidden presented a draft copy of the resolution to limit the parking of commercial vehicles on township roadways.

Whidden said language would need to be clarified to exclude county roads and state highways to avoid regulations through the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Whidden said the resolution was to prohibit the parking of commercial equipment on township residential roads. The resolution was modeled after Monroe Township’s regulation. The resolution stemmed from a resident who complained a commercial tree service truck from Clark County parked each day for 17 days straight on a residential road. Although the truck was moved each day, avoiding the 72-hour mobility ordinance, the truck was unsightly and could be dangerous for residential walkers and children biking in the area, the resident said.

Whidden said he was still trying to find the right language in the resolution to keep active commercial activity such as moving trucks and other services from being an issue within the resolution.

“It doesn’t mean a company can’t park and do its business,”

Thank you for reading the Troy Daily News!

Whidden said, noting parts of the resolution would need to “soften the language” to avoid active business in residential neighborhoods like moving trucks, contracted tree work and other active exterior maintenance and business contracts for residents.

“We are looking for suggestions,” Whidden said.

The resident, Mike Collier, said the same commercial tree service truck has returned to his neighborhood and had parked in the residential drive way. Yet, after several days, the truck moved back to the residential streets to park.

Whidden said he would contact the township’s legal adviser to continue working through the resolution process.

Trustee Tom Mercer reported residents in the Shenandoah neighborhood have requested “No Soliciting ” signs in the neighborhood to reduce door-to-door sales. Mercer said several complaints this summer with solicitors were called in to the sheriff ’s department, but the subdivision and township does not have an ordinance or policy to prohibit the sales calls. Mercer said he would check with the township’s legal adviser about options to curb the disturbances in regards to solicitation.

Mercer added a survey of township residents may also be needed to see if other neighborhoods would be in favor of a future policy.

“This is not the first time it has come up,”

Whidden said.

Mercer noted several municipalities have prohibited door-to-door sales for profit sales but also have had opposition from groups such as the ACLU for such ordinances.

Trustee Sue Campbell said a resident complained that a neighbor in the Merrimont subdivision was using a table saw “a lot.” Campbell said zoning inspectors determined the person was not running a business in the area.

Campbell said the resident had a cassette tape to show how loud the noise was in relation to her residence. Campbell said she would check the township’s noise regulations to refer to the resident.

Road superintendent Neil Rhoades reported personnel from the Miami County Board of Elections toured the Concord Township facility since it has been a polling place. Rhoades said the personnel will likely give a report about the accessibility of the polling place in the future. Rhoades noted that churches are exempt from handi-cap accessibility, but said the personnel have not hinted towards moving the polls to another location.

The trustees adjourned in executive session to discuss the compensation of public employees and did not conduct any additional business.

The next regular meeting will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 10 a.m. at the Concord Township Building on Horizon West Court.

Obama calls off Putin summit amid Snowden tensions LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a rare diplomatic rebuke, President Barack Obama called off an upcoming Moscow summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, sending a stern message of disapproval over Russia’s harboring of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

Although U.S. frustration with Moscow has been growing over other key issues such as missile defense and human rights, it was Russia’s decision to grant Snowden asylum in defiance of Obama’s repeated requests that dealt the latest blow to uneasy U.S. relations with a former Cold War foe.

We d n e s d ay ’s announcement is likely to further strain the relationship, even as the U.S. seeks Russia’s cooperation on Syria and other pressing issues. Canceling the meeting, scheduled for early September, denies Putin a prominent moment just as global attention will be turning to a major economic summit that Russia will be hosting.

Airing its own disappointment, Russia’s government said Obama’s decision showed the U.S. is unable to develop relations with Moscow on an “equal basis.” Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, played down the Kremlin’s role in the Snowden controversy, describing the American’s status as a situation that “hasn’t been created by us.”

“Russian representatives are ready to continue working together with American partners on all key issues,”

It was reported Wednesday President Barack Obama is canceling plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow next month Ѡa rare diplomatic snub.The move is retribution for Russia’s decision to grant temporary asylum to Edward Snowden, who is accused of leaking highly secretive details about National Security Agency surveillance programs. It also reflects growing U.S. frustration with Russia on several issues, including missile defense and human rights.

Ushakov said, adding that the invitation to Obama to visit Moscow next month still stands.

Obama will still attend the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, but a top White House official said the president has no plans to hold oneon-one talks with Putin while there. Instead of visiting Putin in Moscow, the president is adding a stop in Sweden to his earlySeptember itinerary.

Obama, traveling in California, said Tuesday that Russia’s decision to grant Snowden asylum for one year reflected the “underlying challenges” the U.S. faces in dealing with Moscow.

“There have been times where they slip back into Cold War thinking and a Cold War mentality,” Obama said in an interview on

NBC’s “The Tonight Show.”

White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said it was the “unanimous view” of Obama and his national security team that a summit didn’t make sense in the current environment, which he described as a troubled relationship.

He said the Snowden decision exacerbated those tensions and that the U.S. saw few signs that progress would be made during the Moscow summit on other agenda items.

“We’ll still work with Russia on issues where we can find common ground,” Rhodes said.

U.S. lawmakers from both parties who had expressed outrage at Russia and insisted Obama take a hard line in response voiced support for Obama’s move.

Sen. C h a rl e s Schumer, D-N.Y., said Putin has been “acting like a school-yard bully and doesn’t deserve the respect a bilateral summit would have accorded him.” And California Rep. Ed Royce, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the cancellation “should help make clear that the Russian government’s giving Edward Snowden ‘refugee’ status is unacceptable.”

A spokesman for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of Putin’s staunchest critics, said the senator agreed with Obama’s decision and urged the president to go further “to take a more realistic approach to our relations with Russia.”

details about NSA surveillance programs. He first fled from the U.S. to Hong Kong, then made his way to Russia.

He was in the transit zone of a Moscow airport for more than a month before Russia granted him asylum last week — a decision that allowed Russia to represent itself as a defender of human rights amid criticism from the U.S. and other nations of its crackdown on dissent.

Obama and Putin have frequently found themselves at odds on pressing international issues, most recently in Syria, where the U.S. accuses Putin of helping President Bashar Assad fund a civil war against an opposition that the U.S. is supporting. The U.S. has also been a vocal critic of Russia’s crackdown on Kremlin critics and recently sanctioned 18 Russians for human rights violations.

For its part, Moscow has accused the U.S. of installing a missile shield in Eastern Europe as a deterrent against Russia, despite American assurances that the shield is not aimed at its former Cold War foe. Putin also signed a law last year banning U.S. adoptions of Russian children, a move seen as retaliation for the U.S. measure that cleared the way for the human rights sanctions.

Obama and Putin last met in June on the sidelines of the Group of

8 meeting in Northern Ireland. While there, they announced plans to hold the additional talks in Moscow.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. told the Russian government Wednesday morning that Obama believed “it would be more constructive to postpone the summit until we have more results from our shared agenda.”

Even as Obama scrapped plans to meet with Putin, Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel were preparing for meetings in Washington on Friday with their Russian counterparts. Snowden’s status is expected to be a main topic.

The lower-level meetings with Russia underscore that the U.S. cannot completely sever ties with the Kremlin. Russian transit routes are critical to the U.S. as it removes troops and equipment from Afghanistan. And despite deep differences over Syria’s future, the White House knows it will almost certainly need some level of Russian cooperation in order to oust Assad.

Still, some U.S. lawmakers have called for Obama to not only scrub the Moscow summit but also demand that Russia forfeit its right to host the G-20 summit. Others have spoken of boycotting next year’s Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi.

In his interview Tuesday, Obama defended his decision to attend the G-20 summit, an annual gathering of the world’s largest economies. Given the U.S. role in an increasingly interdependent global economy, Obama said it made sense to have high-level representation.

That meeting is to take place in St. Petersburg on Sept. 5-6.

The White House said Obama would arrive in Stockholm, Sweden, on Sept. 4 for his first visit as president to the Northern European nation.

Rhodes said Sweden has been an important U.S. partner on clean energy issues and will be part of a U.S. trade agreement being negotiated with the European Union.

Yemen’s government says it foiled al-Qaida plots SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Authorities foiled plots by al-Qaida to take over key cities in southern Yemen and attack strategic ports and gas facilities, a government spokesman said Wednesday amid a heightened alert that has seen Western embassies evacuated and a new suspected U.S. drone strike that killed seven alleged militants from the terrorist group.

Al-Qaida planned to target the cities of Mukalla and Bawzeer, then send militants disguised as Yemeni troops to attack two strategic oil ports in the impoverished country on the Arabian Peninsula, government spokesman Rageh Badi said.

Other al-Qaida militants would also try to sabotage pipelines to “create panic among Yemeni army and Yemeni security services,” Badi told The Associated Press, adding that authorities managed to foil the plots in the past 48 hours.

Details of the plot were first reported by the BBC. His remarks came hours after Washington apparently stepped up its drone strikes in Yemen in the covert fight against militants from al-Qaida’s branch, which is considered the most active of the terrorist network.

Security officials and residents said early Wednesday that a suspected U.S. drone strike killed seven suspected alQaida militants in south-

strikes or release information on how many have been carried out.

An AP reporter in Sanaa said a drone buzzed over the capital for most of the day.

Security checkpoints have been set up across Sanaa, searching cars and individuals. The Yemeni army has surrounded foreign installations, government offices and the airport with tanks and troops in the capital as well as the strategic Bab al-Mandeb straits at the entrance to the Red Sea in the southern Arabian Peninsula. Top government officials, along with military and security commanders, were told to stay vigilant and limit their movements.

The terrorist network’s Yemeni offshoot, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, has been bolstering its operations for the past few years after key Saudi operatives fled there following a major crackdown in their homeland.

The group overran entire towns and villages in 2011, taking advantage of a security lapse during nationwide protests that eventually ousted Yemen’s longtime ruler, Ali Abdullah Saleh. Backed by the U.S. military, Yemen’s army was able to regain control of the southern region, but al-Qaida militants continue to launch deadly attacks on security forces.

ern Yemen, the fifth such attack in the country in less than two weeks.

Yemen has emerged as the focus of a feared attack that has led the U.S. to shut down temporarily 19 diplomatic posts in the Middle East and Africa.

American and British workers from embassies in Yemen’s capital of Sanaa also have been evacuated.

Washington has been backing a campaign by

Yemen’s military to uproot al-Qaida militants and their radical allies who had taken over a string of southern cities and towns.

The militants have largely been driven into the mountains and countryside, and Yemeni intelligence officials say the current threat may be retaliation for that offensive.

A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat told the AP that the

closures were triggered by the interception of a secret message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and Nasser al-Wahishi, the leader of the Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, about plans for a major attack.

The drone strike killed the militants in Shabwa province, setting two vehicles on fire, security officials said. All the officials spoke on condition of ano-

nymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter with the media.

Residents of the Markha region of Shabwa province said they saw several bodies in two burning cars.

The residents spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation.

While the United States acknowledges its drone program in Yemen, it does not confirm individual

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Aug. 8, the 220th day of 2013.

There are 145 days left in the year.

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder of his days in exile.

In 1911, President William Howard Taft signed a measure raising the number of U.S. representatives from 391 to 433, effective with the next Congress, with a proviso to add two more when New Mexico and Arizona became states.

In 1937, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Japan completed its occupation of Beijing.

In 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who'd cooperated with authorities were spared.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed the U.S. instrument of ratification for the United Nations Charter. The Soviet Union declared war against Japan during World War II. In 1953, the United States and South Korea initialed a mutual security pact.

In 1968, the Republican national convention in Miami Beach nominated Richard Nixon for president on the first ballot.

In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as "damned lies" reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign — which he ended up doing.

In 1974, President Richard Nixon announced his resignation, effective the next day, following damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal.

In 1978, the U.S. launched Pioneer Venus 2, which carried scientific probes to study the atmosphere of Venus.

In 1993, in Somalia, four U.S. soldiers were killed when a land mine was detonated underneath their vehicle, prompting President Bill Clinton to order Army Rangers to try to capture Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

Egypt says diplomacy has failed to resolve crisis CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s military-backed interim leadership proclaimed Wednesday that a crackdown against two protest sites is inevitable, saying that nearly two weeks of foreign diplomatic efforts to peacefully resolve its standoff with the Muslim Brotherhood have failed.

The government’s statements strongly suggested that Egypt’s sharp polarization may spiral into even more bloodshed as thousands of supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood figure, camp out at two main Cairo intersections and hold daily protests outside security buildings.

At stake is stability in the Arab world’s most populous country.

Already more than 250 people have been killed in violence since the military ousted Morsi last month, including at least 130 Brotherhood supporters in two major clashes between security forces and backers of the deposed president.

“The decision agreed on by all to clear the sit-ins is final and irreversible,” Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said on state television, reading a statement issued by the Egyptian Cabinet.

In response, top Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammed el-Beltagy said the protesters are determined to keep up the sit-ins.

Thursday, 8, 2013 .COM 10 TROY DAILY NEWS .TROYDAILYNEWS • WWWAugust

AP Photo Supporters of Egypt’s ousted President Mohammed Morsi chant slogans and hold his posters with Arabic writing which reads “Yes for legality, No for the coup” during a protest outside Rabaah alAdawiya mosque, where protesters have installed a camp and hold daily rallies at Nasr City in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday.

“What we care about is for there to be clear talks about our position against the military coup and the importance of returning legitimacy,” el-Beltagy told The Associated Press at the main protest site in the capital’s Nasr City neighborhood. He said the Cabinet’s statement makes “clear that they lack vision with regard to the political scene.”

A joint statement released late Wednesday

by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

“We remain concerned and troubled that government and opposition leaders have not yet found a way to break a dangerous stalemate and agree to implement tangible confidence building measures,” the statement said.

“The Egyptian government bears a special responsibility to begin this process to ensure the safety and welfare of its citizens,” it said. “Now is not the time to assess blame, but to take steps that can help initiate a dialogue and move the transition forward.”

It is unclear what the

government’s crackdown on the sit-ins would entail or when it would begin, but it appeared unlikely to start until next week.

The Cabinet statement said the government was keen not to take action during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends Wednesday to be followed by four days of Eid celebrations.

For his part, the prime minister said the government seeks stability and rule of law in the face of “hard circumstances”.

He said Egypt must start a new chapter, “without settling scores, without bias against any side.”

AP Photo Soldiers guard a security checkpoint outside the Lawrence H. Williams Judicial Center on the second day of the trial for Maj. Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas on Wednesday. The standby attorney for the soldier charged in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage accused Hasan on Wednesday of deliberately charting a course toward a conviction and death sentence, abruptly halting the trial after only one day. Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, Hasan’s lead court-appointed standby attorney, said he is willing to step in and be Hasan’s defense lawyer. But he asked that his responsibilities as co-counsel be minimized if Hasan, who is representing himself at trial, continues to work toward being executed.

Judge halts trial in Fort Hood shooting rampage FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The standby attorney for the soldier charged in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage accused Maj. Nidal Hasan on Wednesday of deliberately charting a course toward a conviction and death sentence, abruptly halting the trial after only one day.

Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, Hasan’s lead courtappointed standby attorney, said he is willing to step in and be Hasan’s defense lawyer.

But he asked that his responsibilities as cocounsel be minimized if Hasan, who is representing himself at trial, continues to work toward being executed.

It is “clear his goal is to remove impediments or obstacles to the death penalty and is working toward a death penalty,” Poppe told the judge overseeing the case at the Texas military base.

Hasan responded: “I object. That’s a twist of the facts.”

The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, then cleared the courtroom.

Hasan has chosen to act as his own attorney during the military trial at Fort Hood, though he has defense attorneys on standby if he needs them.

On Tuesday, he told jurors during a less than 2-minute opening statement that the evidence would “clearly show” he was the shooter, but that it would “only show one side.” He also questioned only two of the first dozen witnesses, who included one soldier who was shot seven times during the November 2009 attack on the sprawling Army post.

Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

If convicted, he would face the death penalty.

Poppe said Hasan was acting as his own attorney in a way that, “we believe is repugnant to defense counsel and contrary to our professional obligations.”

Hasan repeatedly asked the judge to allow him to explain why Poppe’s claim was wrong, saying: “Your honor, Col. Poppe has made an assertion that is inaccurate. I’d like to

clarify that.”

Osborn paused for nearly half minute before asking that Hasan explain his argument in writing. He said he wouldn’t do that.

Osborn then closed the courtroom to discuss the matter. No witnesses were called Wednesday.

Hasan, an Americanborn Muslim who was paralyzed after being shot by officers responding to the attack, said he was as a soldier who switched sides in what he described as a war between America and his Islamic faith. He then fell silent for most of the day.

Hasan wanted to plead guilty to murder and attempted murder, but military rules forbid guilty pleas in death penalty cases.

Hasan had also asked to argue that he carried out the shooting in “defense of others,” namely members of the Taliban fighting in Afghanistan, but the judge denied that strategy. His defense strategy still remains unclear.

During Tuesday’s testimony, he occasionally took notes on a legal pad. While two defense attorneys remained on stand-by, Hasan rarely turned to them for advice.

No American soldier has been executed since 1961, and military prosecutors showed that they would take no chance of fumbling details that could jeopardize any conviction down the line.

The long-delayed trial was years in the making after judges in the case had granted a series of delays. A fight over Hasan’s beard, which violates military regulations, led to a stay shortly before his trial was expected to begin last year and eventual replacement of the judge.

The trial is playing out amid high security at Fort Hood, where armed guards stood in doorways and 15-foot stacks of shock-absorbing barriers obscured the view of the courthouse. Jurors were told to prepare for a trial that could take months, and Hasan, who is in a wheelchair, needs regular breaks.

LAKESIDE, Calif. (AP) — A man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old girl told her he had a crush on her and would date her if they were the same age, a friend of the girl said Wednesday as police searched for the man who is also wanted in the death of the girl’s mother and possibly her 8-year-old brother.

Marissa Chavez, 15, said James Lee DiMaggio explained that he didn’t want the girls to think he was weird in an effort to defend himself after noticing they exchanged glances. She said he spoke while driving them home from a high school gymnastics meet a couple months ago.

Hannah Anderson asked Chavez to join her from then on whenever DiMaggio, 40, drove her to meets.

“She was a little creeped out by it. She didn’t want to be alone with him,” Chavez said.

DiMaggio was like an uncle to Hannah and 8-yearold Ethan. He was very close with their parents for years.

On Sunday night, authorities found the body of 42-yearold Christina Anderson when they extinguished flames at DiMaggio’s rural home. A child’s body was found as they sifted through rubble in Boulevard, a tiny town 65 miles east of San Diego on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The child’s body has not been identified but it may be Ethan, sheriff’s Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said late Tuesday.

Christina Anderson’s father, Christopher Saincome, said Wednesday that his daughter visited DiMaggio’s home last weekend to say goodbye before he moved to Texas. DiMaggio, who works as a telecommunications technician at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, was a regular presence at the Anderson family apartment in Lakeside, a suburb of 54,000 people.

“He must have had this planned,” Saincome said.

Saincome said nothing seemed amiss when he called his daughter at work Friday to let her know she didn’t call on his birthday. Anderson, a medical assistant, said she would call back that night but never did.

Investigators say DiMaggio may be headed to Texas or Canada with one child or both. They had no evidence that the relationship between DiMaggio and the missing girl was more than friendly.

“We’re not looking into that directly at this point,” Giannantonio said.

Chavez, who spoke at a candlelight vigil for Hannah on Tuesday night, said DiMaggio argued with her friend when he took her to Hollywood in late June or early July for her birthday.

DiMaggio was upset that Hannah was “paying more attention to posting pictures (on her phone) than talking to him.”

“He got upset and ended the trip early,” Chavez said.

Brett Anderson, who flew from Tennessee to San Diego on Tuesday, pleaded with DiMaggio to release his daughter, saying, “You’ve taken everything else.”

“Jim, I can’t fathom what you were thinking. The damage is done,” he said outside San Diego County Sheriff’s Department headquarters after being interviewed by investigators Tuesday.

DiMaggio is wanted on suspicion of murder and arson in a search that began in Southern California and spread to Mexico and neighboring states.

Brett Anderson joined hundreds of family friends and neighbors at the vigil in the parking lot of El Capitan High School in Lakeside, where Hannah was about to start her junior year. Pink paper cups stuffed between holes in the fence read, “Pray Hannah,” and dozens of white, powder blue and pink balloons lifted into the air.

Bruce powers Reds past A’s CINCINNATI (AP) — Corky Miller got a chance to play a major league game in front of his sons on Wednesday, and the journeyman catcher made the most of the opportunity.

Miller had a pair of runscoring doubles and a key defensive play, helping the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-5 victory over Bartolo Colon and the slumping Oakland Athletics.

Jay Bruce hit a two-run homer and a run-scoring grounder for Cincinnati, which won consecutive games for the first time since July 24 in San Francisco and July 25 in Los Angeles. Joey

Votto had two hits and Zack Cozart scored twice.

Miller has spent most of the season with Triple-A Louisville. He could be headed back to the minors soon with Ryan Hanigan on his way back from a wrist injury.

With sons Caden, 8, and Chase, 5, in town for the Reds’ family game, Miller increased his total to five RBIs in 14 games this season.

“It was fun looking up and seeing them,” Miller said.

AL West-leading Oakland, which began the day with a one-game advantage over Texas, scored as many runs as it had in its previous three • See REDS on page 14

Easy to find autographs of college stars for sale

OSU: Miller didn’t profit from signed items

“He’s towards the top of the list in years served. He’s one of the longest tenured coaches the team has had,” Evilsizor said.

“And he left on top, too. Not a bad way to go out.

“I know the game, and I was already teaching at the high school, so it makes it easy. I know all of these kids and I’m with them a lot, so I can keep my eye on them.

It’ll be a different challenge for me, but I can coach just about anything if you give me enough time to prepare.”

Having a squad full of veterans doesn’t hurt, either.

Leading the team is senior Connor Super, who was second in the GWOC North with a 38.37 average last season. He’s joined by fellow senior Kaleb Tittle, junior Dalton Cascaden and sophomore Troy Moore.

“We’ve got four good golfers, and it’s not clear-cut who is No. 1, 2, 3, 4,” Evilsizor said. “Connor is probably our No. 1, but the other guys are all in the same boat — and that’s a good problem to have.

“They each have a different game, they all three score and they all feed off of each other. When one of them is off, the others can pick them up.”

Also on the roster is junior Matt Monnin, who started out on varsity last season before Moore made the jump up in the middle of the season. And joining the team is junior Grant Kasler, who can also help take the pressure off of the top four by posting some low scores, too.

All of which will be necessary

NEW YORK (AP) — A simple search on eBay reveals Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is far from the only college football player whose autograph is for sale.

Pick a star and you can find memorabilia with a supposedly verified signature.

South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney. Ohio State’s Braxton Miller. Oregon’s De’Anthony Thomas.

Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater.

Alabama’s AJ McCarron. The list goes on and on.

The difference is ESPN has reported the NCAA is investigating whether Manziel, the Texas A&M quarterback, got paid to sign autographs, which would violate amateurism rules. That has led to other schools being asked questions about whether their players earned money for signatures.

If the allegations against Manziel, made by unidentified sources to ESPN, are proved true by the NCAA, his eligibility for the coming season could be in doubt as well as his status as a Heisman winner.

ESPN reported that a top autograph authenticator had authenticated nearly 1,000 Manziel autographs.

Two sports websites — bustedcoverage.com and goodbullhunting. com — found what appeared to be dozens of authenticated items signed by Clowney online, and that led to questions for South Carolina officials.

Associate athletic director Chris Rogers said Wednesday the school’s compliance office has looked into the Clowney autographs on eBay and found no violations had occurred.

“The websites that we’ve looked at and the pictures and autographs and items that we’ve found over the last academic year, we’ve not had any issues to suggest that anything impermissible had occurred,” Rogers said.

Troy’s Kaleb Tittle will return for his senior season.

Changing of the guard Troy aims for GWOC North repeat

By JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

When new Troy boys golf coach Mark Evilsizor thought about setting goals for his new team, he decided it’d be best to get ideas from a knowledgeable source.

His Trojans themselves.

“I wanted to see what they thought was realistic, so I had them all write down some personal and team goals,” Evilsizor said.

“It’s important for me to know their expectations for themselves. And they want to repeat as division champions.”

After putting an end to Butler’s Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division dominance last season in Ty Mercer’s final year as coach, the Trojans are not only looking to start a string of championships themselves, but also build on it.

“It’s a good starting point, but they have higher expectations than that,” Evilsizor said. “A repeat championship is a good starting point. But we also want to make it to district as a team and see where it goes from there.

“They also have a lot of personal goals, mainly improving their scores and game from last year. They’re all focused on what they need to do.”

Evilsizor takes over the team from Mercer, who suffered through many narrow misses in the team’s pursuit of Butler before the Trojans overtook them last season.

Devils 2nd at Lady Bucc Trojans place fourth with 369 Staff Reports It was another successful day at the Lady Buccs-Eagles 2013 PinkOut at Echo Hills, the fifth year of the tournament.

“I think it was more pink than I have ever seen at the tournament,” Covington coach Ron Schultz said. “It was hard to tell some of the teams apart.”

And the tournament had a dramatic finish, with Versailles and Tippecanoe both carding 336 to lead the field.

Versailles won the tournament on a fifth-

girl tiebreaker, with the Tigers Madison Covault shooting 101 to Tipp’s 110.

Tippecanoe’s Lindsey Murray was medalist with 73.Miami East finished 13th with a 429 total. Viking scores were Macaleh Thompson 103, Sam Denlinger 106, Carrie Wilson 106, Kiera Fellers 114, Meghan Petit 136.

games, but still lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Colon (14-4) was knocked out in the third inning in his shortest outing of the season. The All-Star right-hander, who was pitching on six days’ rest but weakened by a stomach virus, had made 15 consecutive starts of at least six innings and three or fewer earned runs.

“Bartolo didn’t have his best stuff,” manager Bob Melvin said. “His velocity was down a little bit. He had a stomach virus in the bullpen. He’s had it before but worked through it.”

“It’s no excuse,” Colon said. “I pitched bad. I wasn’t throwing strikes like I did before the All-Star game. The velocity was down a little, but it is no excuse. I don’t need to rest. The way the team hit today, I believe we can win. If they keep hitting like that we will win.”

Miller’s first run-scoring double gave Cincinnati a 2-1 lead in the second inning. The Reds added three more in the third, with Bruce going deep for the second straight game and Miller driving in Cozart for the second time on the day.

Colon allowed five runs and seven hits in 2 2-3 innings. He was 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his previous five starts, including a four-hitter in a 6-0 victory at the Los Angeles Angels on July 21.

Homer Bailey (7-10) won his second straight start despite allowing nine hits and five runs in 5 1-3 innings.

“They put the bat on the ball pretty well,” he said. “You saw it last night with Mat (Latos). He didn’t get a lot of strikeouts. When you put it into play, things happen.”

Bailey left with a runner on third,

but Manny Parra wriggled out of the jam. Parra, Sam LeCure and J.J. Hoover combined for 2 2-3 innings of two-hit ball before Aroldis Chapman tossed a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 31 opportunities.

Josh Donaldson and Eric Sogard had two hits and two RBIs apiece for Oakland, which finished with 11 hits.

Donaldson hit a solo drive in the second for his 17th homer.

Stephen Vogt singled in a run in the fourth for the A’s, but Bruce made a perfect throw to cut down Alberto Callaspo trying to score from second on the base hit to right.

“I always expect them to go,” Bruce said. “When you don’t, that’s when you’re caught off guard and look like an idiot.”

Callaspo left with a left forearm con-

tusion. The Reds originally reported that Miller had a right quad contusion, but he said after the game he banged knees with Callaspo. He still caught one more inning.

“Catchers are football players,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “They’re tough. I wish everybody was a tough as they are.”

Oakland also had Sogard retired in a rundown off third in the sixth.

Bruce jumped on the first pitch he saw in the third, sending a long drive into the netting above the visitor’s bullpen down the right-field line. The oneout shot came with Votto aboard after a leadoff single.

It was Bruce’s team-leading 24th homer. He also is second on the Reds to Brandon Phillips with 78 RBIs.

to fend off Butler.

“Butler, of course, is the team to go through. They’ve proven throughout the years that they’re the team to beat,” Evilsizor said. “Sidney was down last year, and we expect them to be better this year. Piqua, too. And Greenville usually has some solid golfers. We’re not taking anyone lightly.

“When you have six golfers that can post good scores, it helps the kids relax. When one guy has a bad day, that’s what you have a team for.”

• Bethel The Bethel Bees will boast a young team in Brett Brookhart’s 20th season as head coach – but that may not be such a bad thing, either.

Three Bees return from last year’s team, including a pair of seniors and last year’s leading scorer. Senior Jacob Pytel is returning for his third year on varsity and is joined by senior Thomas Stevens. Also back is sophomore Tyler Brookhart, who had the best average on last year’s team and was honorable mention All-Cross County Conference.

They will be joined by a trio of sophomores – Nick Lightcap, Connor Hockett and Seth Shofner – and freshman Tyler Weinert.

“We are young with many new players who have limited varsity experience,” Brett Brookhart said. “Hopefully we can get off to a good start, we can see improvement throughout the season and we can compete in the upper half of the CCC.” • Miami East Terry Henley begins his first year as Miami East head coach with a young team in front of him.

The Vikings consist of two juniors, three sophomores and one freshman.

Ryan Bergman, Zach Ostendorf, Devyn Carson, Kley Karadak, Scot Kirby and Dylan Martinez will be featured on

varsity.

With no seniors, Henley is seeing this year as a great chance to prepare for the future. But he still thinks his team will be ready to compete every time out.

“As they mature during the season and continue to adapt the skills they are taught, they will be a strong contender,” Henley said. “The great prospect of the Miami East golf program is the support of the administration and the fact that all the players will be back next year. To augment success, we have a few on the JV team that will be challenging the varsity players. A coach couldn’t ask for a better group of young athletes, nor a school that stands behind their students as does Miami East.”

• Covington Covington four players to graduation last season, but the Buccs still have plenty back this year.

Junior Joe Slusher, a 2012 first team all-league selection, Jacob Blair and Levi Winn are the returning letter winners for the Buccs. Junior Ty Boehringer and Matt Carder are expected to the fill the fourth and fifth spots, while the sixth spot remains a questions mark between three freshmen (Derek McCool, Jaret Vanhose and Jesse Wall).

Those three are expected to be rotated in and out of the sixth spot.

“Obviously, with no seniors on the squad, someone will need to step up into a leadership position,” Covington coach Bill Wise said. “Hopefully, Joe Slusher can pick up where his brother Sam left off last season and lead by example. The top five golfers have spent an incredible amount of time at Staff Photo | Anthony Weber the course this summer, and if they can Troy’s Connor Super competes during a match last season. Super is expected to be Troy’s No. 1 golfer play up to their abilities each match, this year. we should compete for a league title.”

Union files appeal of Rodriguez’s suspension CHICAGO (AP) — The Major League Baseball Players Association formally appealed Alex Rodriguez’s 211-game suspension Wednesday, sending the case to an independent arbitrator.

Union spokesman Greg Bouris confirmed the appeal and said the players’ association had no further comment.

Rodriguez, who was back at third base and batting third for the New York Yankees against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night, said he had “no reaction” to the filing of the grievance.

“I don’t think any of us thought it was going to be any different,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “As far as having a reaction, it’s kind of what I expected. It’s part of the process that was negotiated between MLB and the players’ association and you let it play out. I expect him to play a lot. We need him to help us.”

Major League Baseball declined comment.

Rodriguez was suspended through the 2014 season on Monday when the league penalized 13 players following an investigation into Biogenesis of America, a shuttled Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.

The other 12 players accepted 50-game suspensions, but Rodriguez said he planned

to fight. Union head Michael Weiner said the punishment for the slugger was “way out of line.”

Under the collective bargaining and joint drug agreements, discipline must meet a “just cause” standard.

Rodriguez’s punishment was scheduled to begin Thursday, but he is allowed to keep playing until the grievance is heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. He isn’t expected to rule until November or December at the earliest.

Coming back from hip surgery in January, Rodriguez played his first game of the season Monday night in the series opener at Chicago. The three-time AL MVP singled in his first at-bat and was 2 for 6 with a walk in his first two games.

The 38-year-old Rodriguez has been booed lustily since his return, except for when he was hit by a pitch in the third inning of the Yankees’ 3-2 loss Tuesday night.

The Yankees are off Thursday and then open a three-game series against AL Centralleading Detroit on Friday night in New York.

It will be the first home game for Rodriguez since the suspension was announced.

“I am curious what it’s going to be like Friday,” Girardi said. “I’m not sure. And I don’t really know what the appropriate

response is. I don’t think it’s my right to tell people how to respond certain situations.”

Rodriguez, who agreed to a 10-year, $275 million contract with the Yankees in December 2007, is the majors’ active leader with 647 career homers. He helped New York win the 2009 World Series, batting .365 with six homers and 18 RBIs in the postseason that year.

In an interview on MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM, former teammate Johnny Damon said Wednesday that title would be diminished if Rodriguez used performanceenhancing drugs during the playoff run.

“I really haven’t gotten to think that far, but if that’s how he was able to hit in the postseason, like he did that year, then yeah, absolutely,” said Damon, who has been friends with Rodriguez since they were teenagers. “Then you start going and saying, ‘Well, was anybody on their team cheating?’

“There’s just so many different factors that determine if a team wins, and A-Rod was a huge determining factor.”

Asked about Damon’s comments, Rodriguez said he hadn’t seen what he had said.

“I talk to Johnny all the time so no disappointment whatsoever,” Rodriguez said.

Obama, Fry raise gay rights as key Sochi issue LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — With the Sochi Olympics six months away, U.S. President Barack Obama, British actor Stephen Fry and international gay rights group All Out have increased attention on Russia over its new anti-gay law.

The law, which was signed

by President Vladimir Putin in June, bans “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” and had already seemed likely to spark protests until the end of the Feb. 7-23 Winter Games.

The issue gained more momentum Wednesday as Moscow prepares to host International Olympic Committee leaders for meetings before the start of the athletics world championships on Saturday.

Obama canceled a planned September meeting in the city with Putin in a diplomatic rebuke over Russia’s harboring of NSA leaker Edward Snowden, having also said in a television interview hours earlier that he had “no patience” with countries that discriminate against gay people.

“I think they (Putin and Russia) understand that for most of the countries that participate in the Olympics, we wouldn’t tolerate gays and lesbians being treated differently,” Obama said Tuesday to host Jay Leno on NBC’s “The Tonight Show.”

Fry went further in an open letter to British Prime Minister David Cameron and IOC President Jacques Rogge, comparing Putin’s “barbaric, fascist

law” to persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany.

“An absolute ban on the Russian Winter Olympics of 2014 in Sochi is simply essential,” Fry wrote. “At all costs, Putin cannot be seen to have the approval of the civilized world.”

Fry’s letter was delivered by All Out at Olympic headquarters in Lausanne along with a 320,000-name petition asking the IOC to denounce the law in Russia.

After a one-hour meeting with All Out campaigner Guillaume Bonnet, IOC spokesman Mark Adams told The Associated Press that the Olympic body “cannot enter into political debate.”

“Our challenge is to change the world through sport and in

sport, and that is what we are doing,” Adams said. “We very much respect and welcome gay athletes to the games. We will ensure to the best of our ability that people can come and compete and spectate free of discrimination.”

Earlier this week, IOC board member Ser Miang Ng — a presidential candidate to succeed Rogge next month — suggested to reporters in London that Olympic officials were engaged in “quiet diplomacy” with the “highest authority” in Russia.

All Out’s Bonnet noted that Rogge will soon be in Moscow, where the IOC has a joint board meeting and news conference with the IAAF athletics governing body on Friday.

Autographs n Continued from page 13

Smith said school officials have determined Miller had not profited from the numerous items found online with his signature. Smith said the quarterback signed many autographs at a Big Ten preseason kickoff luncheon. Presumably fans or memorabilia brokers then went and sold items they got autographed for free.

“We’ve already looked at it,” Smith said.

“There’s no issue there.”

Louisville came to a similar conclusion.

“We are aware of many of the items for sale online that have been autographed by several of our student-athletes with remaining eligibility. As we are required to do by NCAA rules, we regularly review these items and send correspondence to the seller(s) requesting they remove the item for sale,” the school said in a statement. “We have and continue to educate our student-athletes that it is not permissible to accept any type of compensation for their autograph or the sale of memorabilia. We have spoken with Teddy Bridgewater and we are comfortable that no violation has occurred.”

Clowney, Bridgewater and Miller enter the season has prime contenders for the Heisman.

Manziel became the first freshman to win it last season. It’s unclear if an NCAA violation would cause the Heisman trust to reconsider Manziel’s victory.

Browns RB Richardson not playing in preseason opener CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns are playing it safe with Trent Richardson.

Cleveland's star running back will not play in the club's exhibition opener on Thursday night against the St. Louis Rams as he continues to recover from an injured right shin.

Richardson was accidentally kicked in the shin — the same one he hurt during spring practice — last week, and the Browns won't risk him hurting it further.

"We're going to be smart," coach Rob Chudzinski said following Wednesday's practice, which was moved indoors because of heavy rain.

Chudzinski said Richardson could have played if it was a regularseason game, but the Browns are being careful with the former first-round pick, who has had a history with injuries and played most of last season with two broken ribs.

Chudzinski said he is not concerned about Richardson's durability.

"It's the preseason, we have a plan of working him and making sure that he gets reps as needed out here in practice and we build him to be ready for the beginning of the season," Chudzinski said.

Richardson did not play in any of Cleveland's exhibition games a year ago, when he was recovering from minor knee surgery. He recently said one of his goals was to play in all four of Cleveland's preseason games. Richardson took part in some drills on Wednesday, but was not on the field during team activities.

Chudzinski said Richardson understands the reasons for the Browns keeping him out.

Fox Sports gets U.S. Open in 12-year deal PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Fox Sports is in as the next broadcast partner for the U.S. Open starting in 2015.

Johnny Miller appears to be out.

In a surprising announcement Wednesday evening, the U.S. Golf Association said it has signed a 12-year multimedia deal with Fox network and Fox Sports 1 to be the domestic broadcast partner for the U.S. Open and other USGA championships.

NBC Sports had been televising the U.S. Open since 1995 at Shinnecock Hills, with Miller as its shoot-fromhip analyst who became as much of the show as the golf itself.

"It was a big bummer," Miller told The Associated Press from his home in Utah.

"For some reason, I told Dan Hicks at the U.S. Open this year, 'I don't think we're going to keep the U.S. Open.'

I just had a hunch it would be ESPN or Fox that stepped in and made a high bid. I know we tried.

"I feel bad for the USGA in a way that money was more important than basically a good golf crew."

The deal is for 12 years and runs through 2026. The first U.S. Open for Fox will be from Chambers Bay outside Seattle.

NBC's last U.S. Open will be next year at Pinehurst No. 2.

"This is an exciting and remarkable day for the USGA, as our partnership with the Fox Sports is a game-changer for our organization and for the game of golf," USGA President Glen Nager said. "The game is evolving and requires bold and unique approaches on many levels, and Fox shares our vision to seek fresh thinking and innovative ideas to deliver championship golf. This partnership will help us to better lead and serve the game in new and exciting ways."

McIlroy looking for the kid who won the PGA PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — The curls no longer spilled from under his cap, a big change for Rory McIlroy. Prompted to reveal the rest of his free haircut, he removed his hat and wild brown locks sprang to life.

“Still a little bit on the top,” he said Wednesday with an easy smile.

Only then did McIlroy resemble the Boy Wonder who dominated golf last summer, starting with his win at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island by a record margin. He didn’t walk down the fairways that week, he bounced. He was No. 1 in the world, and looked every bit the part.

McIlroy would love to rediscover that kid at Oak Hill this week.

In its place is a 24-year-old from Northern Ireland who has reason to feel much older. He hasn’t won a tournament, and only once did he even come close. He has finished over par in all three majors, with only two rounds at the British Open. He has failed to make the cut five times this year, which includes walking off the course in the Honda Classic with sore wisdom teeth that still haven’t been removed.

Among betting favorites, he was second only to Tiger Woods at the Masters at 5-to-1. For the PGA Championship, the odds are 30-to-1, higher than two players (Henrik Stenson and Brandt Snedeker) who have never won a major.

And he can’t wait to get to the first tee Thursday afternoon.

Inspiration comes from videos he has been watching of his eight-shot win at Kiawah Island, along with his back-to-

AP PHOTO In this file photo from Aug. 12, 2012,Rory McIlroy reacts to his victory after a birdie putt on the 18th green during the final round of the PGA Championship golf tournament on the Ocean Course of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in Kiawah Island, S.C.

back FedEx Cup playoff wins against some of the strongest fields of the year.

Some of what he noticed was technical, such as the position of his club in the swing. What really stood out was the body language.

“It’s how you carry yourself. It’s all that sort of stuff, your little mannerisms,” McIlroy said. “I guess it’s just trying to remember those feelings and remember how I felt that week and trying to carry some of that into this week and just get those good, positive thoughts going.

“I think everyone sees when I walk

and I’m playing well, I have that little bounce in my step.”

What would go a lot longer at Oak Hill is keeping the ball in play on a traditional, tree-lined course — so many trees that even being in the fairway doesn’t mean a clear shot at the green if the ball is slightly out of position.

The greens are small and slope toward the front. Oak Hill is a hard golf course, and the evidence comes from the previous five majors held on this Donald Ross design — only 10 players in those five majors have finished under par.

“This may be the toughest golf

course, but the fairest golf course that we play,” said Tom Watson, playing this major for the 32nd time. “Somebody is going to win this thing, and that person is going to play awfully well, awfully good golf this week. Wish I could say that’s me.”

Watson was joking. Not so funny is that the way McIlroy’s year has gone, there isn’t much reason to believe it could be him, either.

Most of the attention is on Woods, even though he has gone five years and 17 majors without winning one. Woods won the Bridgestone Invitational last week by seven shots, sparked by a 61 in the second round that tied his personal best. That gave Woods five wins this year, which is five more than McIlroy.

Phil Mickelson opened with a 65 in 2003 the last time the PGA Championship was played at Oak Hill until fading badly in one of his worst seasons as a pro. He is coming off an astounding win at the British Open, where his 66 in the final round is regarded as one of the best closing rounds in a major. If he could pick off another PGA Championship, Mickelson would be a shoo-in as PGA Tour player of the year, an award he has never won.

McIlroy, meanwhile, has been largely forgotten through ordinary play and endless questions about a season gone wrong from his opening tournament when he missed the cut in Abu Dhabi.

Some of his troubles have been attributed to a wholesale equipment change, others to his decision to change management companies.

MAC hoping to build on banner season By the Associated Press

In the last year, the Mid-American Conference has had a team in the Orange Bowl and a player picked No. 1 in the NFL draft.

Now, for an encore — how about a Heisman Trophy?

That may seem far-fetched, but Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished seventh in the voting last season, and he’s back to try to lead the Huskies to another banner year.

Northern Illinois played in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, and although the Huskies were beaten soundly, the MAC was celebrating again a short while later when Central Michigan offensive lineman Eric Fisher was the first pick in the draft.

“I think the conference is on the rise, and a lot of great things are happening,” Lynch said. “The whole Heisman campaign, Eric Fisher going No. 1 overall. … I think there’s great things going on, and I think the best is yet to come for this conference.”

That remains to be seen. Northern Illinois has a new coach — Rod Carey led the Huskies in their bowl because predecessor Dave Doeren had taken the North Carolina State job. And since the Huskies lost to Florida State in the Orange Bowl by three touchdowns, the MAC champion might need an unbeaten record to repeat Northern Illinois’ feat of reaching a BCS bowl. Northern Illinois made it despite a loss in the regular season.

As for Lynch’s Heisman hopes, he threw for 3,138 yards and 25 touchdowns last season — while running for 1,815 yards and 19 TDs. Numbers like that — if he can repeat them — will get attention.

Things to know: 1) Three straight?: Six teams have won the MAC title in the last nine seasons, and the last three league championship games were down-to-the-wire thrillers. Amid all that apparent parity, Northern Illinois is starting to look like a legitimate dynasty. The Huskies are trying to become the first team to win three straight MAC titles since Marshall

won four in a row from 1997-2000.

Including the last two conference title games, Northern Illinois has won 17 straight against MAC opponents. The biggest threat to that streak this year may be a trip to Toledo in November.

As for the Huskies’ chances of going undefeated in the regular season, they’ll have to win three nonconference road games to do it — against Iowa, Idaho and Purdue.

2) Youth is served: P.J. Fleck, Western Michigan’s new coach, is the youngest in major college football at age 32.

He took that title from Toledo’s Matt Campbell, who is exactly one year older.

Fleck is one of three new coaches in the MAC this year. Carey and Kent State’s Paul Haynes are the others.

3) Future bowls: This is more of an off-field issue, but keep an eye on what the MAC tries to do as college football moves toward a national championship playoff. The new system — plus the seemingly endless talk of conference realignment — has made the bowl schedule beyond this season pretty uncertain.

For example, Detroit Lions are now hosting a bowl at Ford Field. That could spell the end of the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, which had a relationship with the MAC. The scramble will be on for this midmajor league to find enough spots for its postseason-eligible teams. A record seven MAC teams played in bowls last year — Northern Illinois, Kent State, Ball State, Toledo, Ohio, Bowling Green and Central Michigan.

This season, the league has three priAP PHOTO mary bowl agreements and four secondOhio State’s Christian Bryant runs a drill during an NCAA football practice Wednesday in Columbus. ary relationships.

4) Is Lynch a lock… for the MAC’s most valuable player award? He might be. But don’t rule out Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton or Toledo running back David Fluellen. Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack made the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which goes to the nation’s best defensive player. Dayonne Nunley anchors Miami of Ohio’s secondary.

Safeties first

Stewart’s injury shows Superman could get hurt CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Aside from a minor arm injury in the 2006 Chili Bowl, and a banged up shoulder that required a relief driver in a NASCAR race later that same season, Tony Stewart has walked away unscathed from many harrowing wrecks.

It was something everyone around him had seemingly taken for granted until Monday night, when the three-time NASCAR champion broke his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa.

“He’s run so many of these races and flipped in those things, I think me and him and everybody around us didn’t think Superman

could get hurt; this is his day,” Greg Zipadelli, his longtime crew chief and the current competition director at Stewart-Haas Racing, said Wednesday.

Zipadelli has never been the biggest fan of Stewart’s extracurricular racing and was his crew chief both times Stewart ran the Indianapolis 500 and CocaCola 600 double on the same day. But he’s understood Stewart’s passion to drive anything at any time, and doesn’t try to interfere.

And for 15 years, 521 races, 48 wins and three NASCAR championships, none of Stewart’s extra activities interfered. But

now the star of the organization is in an Iowa hospital, recovering from surgery to stabilize and clean a Grade 2 break to his tibia and fibula in his right leg, and awaiting a second surgery that will give the team a better indication of what his recovery time will be and what the organization will need to do for the coming weeks.

For now, all Zipadelli knows for sure is that road course ace Max Papis will drive the No. 14 Chevrolet this weekend at Watkins Glen, where Stewart is a five-time winner, and that they’ll need to find another replacement driver for at least the next few weeks.

Buckeyes counting on a lot from Bryant, Barnett

COLUMBUS (AP) — Safeties are the players farthest removed from the action.

Yet they’ll be in the middle of Ohio State’s hopes this fall.

Starters Christian Bryant and C.J. Barnett account for 50 percent of the seniors on the defensive side for the Buckeyes. They’ve been through a lot, with three coaches in their college careers, weathering a dreary 6-7 record two years ago and playing important roles in the 12-0 bounce-back season of 2012.

With most of the defensive front seven gone, they’re being asked to not only be major contributors on the field but also to be instructors for all of the younger guys stepping into starting roles for the first time.

“It’s on our shoulders,” Barnett said.

“Me and Christian, being seniors … it’s a duty for us. We’ve got to stand up to the challenge. Everybody is going to be looking to us.”

For a young defense, the two wizened veterans in the secondary are key.

“I like the leadership in the back end of our defense, that’s Christian Bryant, that’s C.J. Barnett,” coach Urban Meyer said.

“I’m real pleased with that.”

A quick look at last year’s stats underscores their importance.

They are among the top four returning

tacklers from a year ago. Bryant was second (to returning linebacker Ryan Shazier) with 70 tackles, including one interception, a fumble recovery and 12 passes broken up.

Barnett was fourth in stops with 56, including 2½ for losses, and also had two interceptions and six breakups. Corey “Pittsburgh” Brown also returns as a backup for the Killer Bs at safety.

“I think it’s important that those guys who have played a lot of snaps here — Christian Bryant, C.J. Barnett, Corey Brown — those guys have been around this program a long time and have a lot invested in it,” said co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Everett Withers. “It’s really important that they show leadership, not just in the defense room but throughout our football team. That they help us with our young guys.

“The Ohio State way — they know it.”

Cornerback Bradley Roby, who was third in tackles with 63, is currently working out with the second team as part of his punishment for a summer skirmish with a Bloomington, Ind., bar bouncer. Roby may face additional sanctions, pending the outcome of his legal case.

Roby’s situation adds to the problems for the defense, which may have the top four tacklers from last season but is missing the next eight on the list.
