    (Statement by Mayor Copenhaveron the merger name controversy):

    During the naming process Iweighed in on several occasionswith the committee that my ownpersonal preference for the name

    would be the University of Augusta.However, the decision has now beenmade and the Board of Regents hasshared with me that the decision isdefinitely final.

    As Mayor of Augusta, an AugustaCollege Alum, a longtime ASUFoundation Trustee and a two-timeA-Day chair, no one would haveliked to see Augusta as part of thenew name more than me but I didntget what I wanted and Im willing toaccept that and move on.

    It should not go unnoticed norunappreciated that GovernorNathan Deal has set aside hundreds

    of millions of dollars to help ensurethat Georgia Regents University is along-term success and a nationallrecognized institution which will bea major boost to the future growthof our city in a multitude of ways.In moving forward I believe thatthe best expenditure of my time andefforts is to do everything possibleto help the new university grow andprosper here in Augusta to the ben-efit of the citizens of our commu-nity educationally, economically andsocially for generations to come.

    The isolation of Richard Roundtree

    Frederick Benjaminlitical Commentary

    en Richard RoundtreeScott Peebles face off

    he runoff election forff next Tuesday, eachbe playing accord-

    to a much differentt.r Peebles the scriptwritten a dozen yearswhen former Sherifflie Webster decidedtire early. By the time

    nie Strength donnedsheriffs mantle in, it was more of anation than an elec-

    bef itt ing the mosterful political posi-in the county, emis-

    s from West Augustathe South Augusta

    ia paid homage toiff Charlie Websters-picked heir appar-

    and stuffed hisches full of foldingey.e sheriff is a strange

    hybrid of politician andenforcer and most wouldhave to admit that theposition shapes themrather than vise versa.

    To win the sheriffs seat,all Strength had to do wasto wake up on election

    day and remain breathingfor the rest of the day.

    Most may not rememberthe circumstances under

    which Strength ascendedto the role of top cop.

    For one, he did nothave to compete in aRepublican or Democraticprimary. Why?

    Sheriff Webster retiredbefore serving out hisfull term. By doing so, hisreplacement would haveto be chosen through a

    nonpartisan special elec-tion rather than a pri-mary.

    Despite the power andinfluence of the localDemocratic Party in2000, Strenghs advis-ers were wise enough tohave him huddle with

    local Republicans in WestAugusta who, along withWebsters natura l SouthAugusta constituency,would be in the positionto hand him the election.

    Strength chose to runas a Democrat in the 2000

    General Election with theblessings of the DemocratParty machine which, atthe time, was dominatedby the citys most power-ful Democrat Charles

    W. Walker.In the general elec-

    tion, Strength crushedRepublican Leon Garvin

    who at the time was oneof Sheriff Websters lieu-tenants.

    In his political career,Strength never again

    faced an opponent in thegeneral election or theprimaries.

    So now in 2012,Strengths supporters areprepared to do unto ScottPeebles what they did forStrength.

    This time around, how-

    ever, the position is, moreor less, up for grabs. Thistime there was a primary

    anda runoff.The fear that a chang-

    ing of the guard wouldupset the jobs-and-finan-cial-patronage apple cart,prompted the forces thatembrace the status quo tostep forward boldly andgive their support andcash to Capt. Peebles.

    A few days ago, Strengthofficially endorsedPeebles and this week,Mayor Deke Copenhaverstepped to the plate on

    his behalf.The script for

    Roundtree, on the otherhand has been impro-

    vised.He has been in the

    unenviable position ofnot having the supportnor the loose change ofthose who would reallylike to see a change inthe game.

    As one longtime polit i-cal street fighter saidto me recently, Its not

    about Richard Roundtree,its about someone elsehaving access to all those

    jobs and contracts thatthe Sheriff controls.

    A great point. So whyhas the dominant discus-sion been on communitypolicing, questionableendorsements and acitizens review boardas well as the amplifica-tion of some youthful, iflurid indiscretions on thepart of both Peebles and

    Roundtree.Peebles supporters

    were correct in assess-ing the challenge posedby a black Democrat in2012. Strength had neverbefore faced any pri-mary challenger, muchless an African-Americanone. The fear was thatRoundtree, a politicalneophyte, would developa messianic messageand inspire blacks togo to the polls on his

    behalf. That concern wasjusti fiable given the factthat a Robbie Silas can-didacy could peel off justenough white votes fromPeebles to throw the raceinto a runoff. That is howit played out.

    But what the Peebles

    brain trust could nothave predicted was theisolation of Richard

    Roundtree.You see, for the Peebles

    managers, this race hasalways been about gettingenough black support fortheir candidate to offsetany loss to the Silas camp.

    As added insurance, how-ever, they planned andexecuted a Republicanraid on the Democraticprimary.

    It worked and theyhope it will continue to

    work in the runoff next

    Tuesday (August 21).So what is behind

    the isolation of RichardRoundtree, besides hispolitical inexperience.Just this.Despite his roots in the

    Af rican American com-munity, not a single high-profile black politicianhas stepped forward tooffer an endorsement.

    More importantly, theRoundtree campaignorganization did not do

    nearly enough to mobi-lize their natural base.There were very few ifany fund-raising dinnershosted by prominentblacks on his behalf.As a candidate,

    Roundtree could not getthe electorate excitedabout the need forchange in the sheriffsdepartment.

    Roundtree did not getthe political endorsementof any of the traditional

    black media outlets orbroadcast personalities.

    The political street fight-er that I mentioned earlierin this piece bemoanedthe lack of political acu-men of an Ed McIntyre ora Charles Walker.A successful black candi-

    date must build coalitionsacross party, gender andracial lines. But, thesedont come easily andnot without a lot of work.Peebles has been able to

    do it, Roundtree has a fewmore days to try.

    The black politicalinfrastructure that exist-ed in the 80s and 90s andup until the year 2000 isstill in place, but is wait-ing for the right candidate

    with the right issue.

    Richard Roundtree to be successful in Tuesdays runoff election for sheriff hechannel his inner David, his Goliath is the red hot activism of entrenched politi-

    nd financial muscle of the local GOP and the chilly embrace of the current blackcal leadership.

    gets A first day backAUGUSTAA year ago, it was a disaster.

    During the first week of school, theboard of education was facing a fullscale assault from par-ents, the PTA and busdrivers all dissatis-fied with the transpor-

    tation system.This year, so far, there

    has been no need forprotest and the outragewas gone. Accordingto school board offi-cials, the PTA and mostparents, everythingwent prett y much asplanned.

    We hit a home run,school board trusteeVenus Cain said. A lotof work went into plan-ning and working with the trans-portation department.

    For Monique Braswell, presidentof the Richmond County Council ofPTAs, the difference between thisyears smooth sailing and last yearsfalse starts was like night and day.

    I was very impressed. The schooladministrators and transportationworkers worked hard and diligentlyand as a result, things went forwardwithout a hitch, she said.

    Cain credits a number of proac-tive moves for a share of the suc-

    cess. According to Cain the schoolboard made a series of robocallsto parents giving them informationthat they would need on the first

    day. She said that school officialsincluding Deputy Superintendent

    Tim Spivey worked directly withthe transportation department onopening day.

    Nevertheless, there were irateparents on opening day. Somewho had questions about the dropoff times of their children werefrustrated that they could not getthrough to the contact numbersprovided by the schools. Otherproblems, however were not trans-portation related.

    According to most observers, the RichmondCounty school bus operators had their acttogether this year.

    e marketing deals. Heralready graced the boxeslloggs Corn Flakes, and

    starts about the millionsllars to be raked in fromorate sponsorship deals.US high achievers likemers Michael Phelps andLochte and gymnasts Aly

    man and Ms. Douglas orpeers from other nationses looking at you, Usain the Summer Olympic

    es look like a financialnza. The fame of goldls could be worth as

    as several million dol-er year.these tales of personal

    s are the exception,

    he rule. Of all athletes,icans enjoy some of thest potential for reapingme from corporate spon-

    ps and product endorse-deals. But the flow of

    y is uneven and some-comes with pitfalls.e the example of USers Lolo Jones and Dawner. Their excellence issport that, unlike tennis

    or basketball, enters the TVlimelight only once every fouryears.

    Ms. Jones has had moresuccess with corporate spon-sors than Ms. Harper, whowas a gold medalist in Beijing.That contrast served as thebackdrop when Jones foundherself this week in a nega-tive spotlight for the financialside of her career. ANew YorkTimes article painted Jonesas an athlete whose sad andcynical marketing campaign

    has made her more visiblethan teammates who are bet-ter performers on the track.

    Jones, who crashed over ahurdle and out of gold con-tention in 2008, said she hadbeen ripped to shreds bythe criticism, which she calledunfair. In the end, she provedto be a contender in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing fourthand just a tenth of a secondout of a bronze medal. Harperagain medaled silver whileAustralian Sally Pearson wongold and US teammates KellieWells got the bronze.

    The big story here is notwhether Jones deserves to havemore sponsors than Harper.Its the more basic point: LikeHarper, most Olympic athletesarent rolling in money. Thecorporate deals that do cometheir way (Harper is backedby Nike) enable their athleticquest but not a cushy lifestyle.

    This reality came into viewearly in the London Games,

    when many athletes usedthe social network Twitter topublicize their protest againstan International OlympicCommittee mandate known asrule 40. The rule says athletescant advertise for their spon-sors during the two weeks inLondon, unless the companyis an official sponsor of theOlympics.

    US track and field athleteNick Symmonds, among oth-ers, tweeted that many havegotten rich using Olympic ath-

    letes free labor. He and oth-ers made the case that athleteswould be valued more highlyby corporations if their mar-keting visibility could extendto the Olympic Games them-selves. That, in turn, mightgive more athletes the meansto train and compete in theirsports.

    A few superstars, inevitably,become the most visible in adstargeted at the mainstream.For Ms. Douglas and Ms.Raisman, who have becomeinstant household names, thefirst offers are likely the start

    of a flood of opportunities.Mr. Phelps already enjoyed

    a ubiquitous presence evenbefore these Games. Now,with his London performancemaking him the most decorat-ed Olympian ever, he stands torake in big money for years tocome.

    Sometimes, young athletesface tough choices aboutwhether to accept corporate

    Olympic gold doesnt always light a path to richesperception is that gold-winning Olympians find it easy to turn success into lucrative corporate

    nsorships (Gabby Douglas is already on Corn Flakes boxes). But thats the exception to the rule.

    Gabby Douglas is among those few Olympic gold med-

    alists whose feats will attract riches.

    cash or not.Missy Franklin, who may

    be the US womens answer toPhelps in the swimming pool,has launched her Olympiccareer by winning four goldsand a bronze (plus setting twoworld records) as a teenager inLondon.

    Sports marketing experts

    say Ms. Franklin might earn$2 million a year or more bysaying yes to companies thatwant to hitch their products toher rising star.

    Yet her avowed interest, sofar at least, is to pursue col-lege-level competition, whereamateur-only rules ban suchincome.

    eres a lot of Republican starr in Wisconsin these days Rep.Ryan, a congressman from theer State, on the GOP ticket; Gov.Walker, a recall-election survi-

    and Reince Priebus, chairmane national party. But even thatnot be enough to put Wisconsine MItt Romney column come thember election.at Congressman Ryans news as running mate probably

    do, though, is make the race foronsin a lot more competitive forepublicans than it has been so

    ay political analysts.s not enough for a slam dunk. It

    means Wisconsin is competitive,Larry Sabato, director of the

    er for Politics at the University ofnia in Charlottesville. You can

    reasonably put it into the column ofswing states.

    Even before Saturday, when Mr.Romney announced his pick for vicepresident, Ryan was known nation-ally as the intellectual center of hisparty for his work as chairman of theHouse Budget Committee and hisbudget plan to cut federal spendingfor Medicare, the health-care pro-gram for seniors, and Medicaid, theprogram for the poor.

    However, Ryan is a less visible play-er on the local scene. He has neverheld statewide office, and his congres-sional district represents one-eighthof the state. Romney picked himmainly for his economic and fiscalagenda, not so much for his constitu-ent connections, says Mordecai Lee, apolitical scientist at the University ofWisconsin at Milwaukee.

    [Ryan has] never been politically

    tested statewide his influence isnot geographical, its ideological and thats whats what made hima national figure, Mr. Lee says. Hecould just as well be the congressmanfrom Timbuktu.

    A Republican candidate for presi-dent has not won Wisconsin since1984, and polls show that Romney isso far not positioned to change thatrecord. Romneys favorable rating inWisconsin is 36 percent, unmovedsince July, according to a MarquetteUniversity Law School poll releasedlast week. His unfavorable ratingthis month, meanwhile, jumped sixpoints to 48 percent.

    In comparison, President Obamasfavorable rating among Wisconsinvoters rose two points in August to54 percent, according to the poll.

    Governor Walker said Sundayon Meet the Press that, to win

    Wisconsin in November, Romneyneeds to appeal to voters outside thesafety zone of his party.

    For a Republican to win [inWisconsin], you not only have tosecure your base, you have to reachout to independent swing voters,Walker said. In our state, what wesaw in my election two months ago,what they want more than anything ispeople to tell them the truth who arecourageous and [who] are willing totake on tough decisions.

    Having Ryan on the ticket willboost Romneys polling in Wisconsin,and his Midwest background andIrish-Catholic heritage will resonatethroughout the crucial battlegroundregion of the upper Midwest, says Mr.Sabato. But Ryans greatest impactmight be in forcing the Obamacamp to defend a state it might havethought was in the bag.

    With Paul Ryan, Romney brings Wisconsin into playding Ryan of Wisconsin to the GOP ticket makes that state competitive, but its no guaranteet Romney-Ryan will win it. It will force Team Obama to spend time and money there.
