Republican Rep. Kirk Schuring, the chamber’s acting leader, announced the decision Friday after taking a straw poll of members. A majority of House Republicans have so far been unable to settle on a speaker candidate to replace Republican Speaker Cliff Rosenberger, who resigned last month amid an FBI investigation. That’s left the fractured caucus to spar for weeks while legislation languishes. Schuring gave members of both parties until Friday to choose whether to go forward with the vote or to change House rules so he can preside over law-making. Democrats abstained from Schuring’s private tally, citing concern it might have violated Ohio openmeetings laws. As previously reported, Schuring gave lawmakers the option to vote on two existing candidates to succeed Rosenberger. Those are House Finance Chairman Ryan Smith, of Gallia County, and state Rep. Andy Thompson, of Marietta.

Her friends and family are holding a softball tournament in her memory Aug. 11 doing what she loved. GALLIPOLIS — In Gallia County, for some families, softball is more than a game. To the Sipple Family, it was a way to bond, encourage each other, and to pursue excellence. Ryelee Sipple, the youngest of three children who passed away in a vehicle accident last month, was known for her love of the game. That is why several alumni and friends of the family are organizing a memorial tournament in honor of Ryelee. “Myself along with former GAHS softball Alumni decided we wanted to have a softball game to support John and Jennifer and the family,” said Shelley Walker. “Since we all the love the game as much as Ryelee did we thought this would be the perfect way to bring people in the community together to celebrate Ryelee and her love of softball.” The two day tournament will start on Saturday, Aug. 11 at 7:30 a.m. at Gallia Academy High School, where Sipple played. “Our only motivation for this tournament is to bring everyone who’s grieving this tragic loss See SIPPLE | 7A Gallia Prosecutor announces sentencings in common pleas court Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney, Jason D.

Attorneys general from 36 states including Washington, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, wrote to Senate leaders last week, asking them to increase penalties on drug manufacturers that fail to report suspicious transactions and don’t maintain effective controls to keep their drugs out of the illegal market. This is a reasonable proposal in the face of the scourge of opioid addiction and deaths and the complicity of at least one manufacturer. About 764 people died in Washington state from opioids in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The cost of the opioid crisis to Washington residents was $9.19 billion in 2016, with about $7 billion of those costs attributed to the ﬁnancial impacts of overdose deaths, according to a new study from the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. A bipartisan bill sponsored by Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and another measure sponsored by Sens. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Kamala Harris, D-Calif., would increase civil penalties from $10,000 to $100,000 per violation of reporting requirements. The maximum criminal penalty would increase from $250,000 to $500,000 for companies that willfully disregard or knowingly fail to keep proper reporting systems or fail to report suspicious activity. Portman’s proposal, S. 2456, known as the Comprehenisve Addiction and Recovery Act, had hearings in April in the Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism of the Committee on the Judiciary, but no further action has been taken. Cantwell and Harris’ proposal, S. 2440, known as the Comprehensive Addiction Reform, Education and Safety Act, has not made any progress since being introduced in February. A related bill sponsored by Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., would renew grants to states and Native American tribes for opioid-related prevention and treatment while giving states money to improve their prescription drug monitoring programs. Those programs also can help catch and prevent overprescribing. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson ﬁled a lawsuit in 2017 against Purdue Pharma, the company that sells the painkiller OxyContin, for its aggressive and deceitful marketing in Washington state. Ferguson says the company lied to doctors and patients about the drug’s risks and effectiveness. In April, a King County judge denied the drugmaker’s motion to dismiss the case, setting the lawsuit on the path toward a trial. The attorney generals’ letter sent to leaders of the Senate health and judiary committees said because the drug manufacturers know their market better than anyone, they are well-positioned to identify suspicious activity. See OPIOID | 5A THEIR VIEW Placing trust in technology Sometimes I ask myself, “When will I ever learn?” But the answer is already known. Until I experience it for myself and get the desired result, I’m always going to mistrust new devices designed to make our lives easy. Like automated checkout machines in grocery stores. Even if I have successfully navigated my way through the instructions, paid for the purchased items and obtained a receipt, I still prefer the human touch, using the electronic option only when when a walking, talking person is unavailable to process all my stuff. Besides, I like to think I’m keeping someone employed by having them handle my shopping personally, and share a little conversation along the way. There has to be a time to place trust in new technology, as maddening as it can be when initially putting it all in motion.

I knew what that was like from a used car with an improperly placed fuel pump that never did give a correct reading of how much gas I had, as I discovered to my chagrin a few times when the car coughed several times, jerked and stopped dead in the road. Needless to say, the “topper” inﬂuence when it comes to ﬁlling the tank remains as strong with me today as it was when I ﬁrst began driving back in the ’70s. Yet, I must keep telling myself, especially with this car: Just because it looks like it’s about to run out of gas, it really isn’t. The gauge information says it won’t, an equivalent of the old belief that while it looks like the tank is gone, there’s one or more gallons in there that don’t show up. Call me chicken, but I never really wanted to ﬁnd out the truth of that claim. *** In the past two weeks See TRUST | 7A THEIR VIEW Woman shaves legs in pool, world grosses out YOUR VIEW Reader wants a fix for traffic light, crosswalk Dear Editor, I don’t really understand why the town of Gallipolis, population 3,461, which is a town as deﬁned under Ohio law and the most recent census count, refuses to ﬁx the defective trafﬁc light and crosswalk box signals at the intersection of Third Avenue, and State Street when multiple complaints have been made regarding this matter. The north and south bound pedestrian signal box is totally out of sync when cars are in motion from the east and west, the crosswalk box shows the WRONG signal for people on foot to cross there and risk being either run over and paralyzed for life or instantly killed when all the east and west bound vehicles are moving, The crosswalk box on the east side of that intersection is DEFECTIVE and shows both symbols at the same time to both stop AND walk. It is insane and a HUGE million dollar lawsuit liability for the town. The crosswalk box on the west side, right across from the school ofﬁce, is also screwed up and the white walk symbol is UPSIDE DOWN. I don’t think the locals know how to even program the control box and they need to call in ODOT and have it done right or sue the company who installed those boxes.

People who appear to be afﬂicted with cuts, skin disease, communicable diseases, colds, fever, infection or other physical ailments are prohibited from entering the water. No spitting or bodily ﬂuids in pool. Bottles, glass or other hazardous objects are prohibited within the pool area or bathroom facilities. All children in the pool area must have adult supervision. No person shall bring or throw into the pool, walkways, aisles, or locker rooms any object that may in any way endanger the safety of any person. No diving is permitted into the shallow area of the pool. No running. No rough play. Any person suspected of being under the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited from entering the pool. Consumption of food, beverages, and tobacco products in the swimming pool is forbidden. All animals with the exception of guide animals for the handicapped are prohibited from entering the pool area. Nowhere in there does it say “No shaving your legs,” though leg hair might be considered “any object that may in any way endanger the safety of a person.” If nothing else, the woman needed adult supervision to tell her to cut it out.

Meanwhile, the social and built environments in which a person exists affects their chance of developing cancer. The social environment describes the social conditions in which people work and live. A good social environment helps a person make good decisions, like living a healthy lifestyle. The built environment refers to physical objects like buildings, neighborhoods, cities, and roads. A good built environment has a lot of parks, playgrounds, and sidewalks that make it easy to get exercise. A good built environment also provides transportation that makes it easy for people to go to good jobs and schools, doctors, and stores that sell healthy food. Country (rural) areas like Meigs County are usually spread out, making people more likely to drive cars rather than walk. People who live in the country are more likely to be poor than people who live in cities. So, they are more likely to spend time working than going to the doctor. They also are more likely to treat the health problems they know they have, instead of getting screening tests to ﬁnd other health problems early or making lifestyle changes to prevent future health problems. Access to health care services is another barrier for those who live in poverty. Racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to have health insurance, so they may not see a doctor regularly. People who see a doctor regularly are more likely to get cancer screening tests. When doctors advise a patient to get a screening test, the patient usually gets the test, especially if he or she is older or doesn’t go to the doctor often. Generally, patients get better cancer treatment at a hospital that sees a lot of cancer patients, or by a doctor who does a lot of cancer surgeries. Patients treated in low-volume hospitals are more likely to be members of racial or ethnic minorities, live in rural areas, have a low SES, and live far away from a high-volume hospital. Fear of cancer, perceived cost of care, and lack of physician referral also are common barriers to cancer screening and other preventive services. Health care providers play a critical role in recommending and increasing use of preventive services. Research shows that physician recommendation is a major predictor of receipt of screening. How does the Meigs County Heath Dept. (MCHD) work to reduce health disparities in cancer? Improve early detection of cancer through routine mammography, Pap tests, and colorectal cancer screening. The MCHD hosts mobile screening units from The Ohio State University (OSU) and the Ohio University (OU) Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Community Health Programs, which offer breast and cervical cancer screenings for women regardless of SES status. The MCHD also refers eligible women to the Southeastern Ohio Breast and Cervical Cancer Project and the Gallia County Health Dept.’s Reproductive Health Program for services and to SUNDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 SUNDAY, JUNE 3 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 WSAZ News NBC Nightly Dateline NBC Investigative Jurassic World (‘15, Adv) Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt.

Alongside legendary performer/producer Ken Stringfellow (The Posies, R.E.M., Big Star), she is currently at work on her solo album. Stringfellow says Karen is “…a wonderful singer whose songs have a touching approach and stunningly beautiful economy.” She began her music journey during the alternative/grunge of the 90’s forming the band Crazy Jane. The band recorded and toured in support of three albums, performed at the legendary CBGBs (NYC), NPR’s Mountain Stage Radio, NXNE Music Festival (Toronto) to name a few and alongside acts such as They Might Be Giants, Violent Femmes, Donna the Buffalo, Julian Lennon, and Robyn Hitchcock. Allen’s new album is a culmination of a life beset with heartbreak and extraordinary experiences. From honest provocative lyrics to moody atmospheric swirls and textures to unforgettable melodies, she embraces her power and prowess as a musician to deliver her best work yet. Expect unique, alternative songs, as well as pop and rock hits. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sipple From page 1A together to celebrate Ryelee and to help the family with anything they may need in these difﬁcult times,” said Walker.

Both trips, each stretching into days, were sudden and unexpected for everyone concerned. However, as of this writing things have calmed down enough to allow an expression of some thoughts about the state of health care at both facilities. The key item is that while Riverside may be almost three times the size of St. Mary’s, the level of care and concern from the staff was the same in each case. Physicians, nurses, aides and other professionals were unfailingly upbeat and solicitous of the patient, meeting needs to the best of their abilities despite the demands placed on them by their accumulated workloads. It was, in short, a comfort to have that level of compassion just a call away, and did much to assure us that patient and family were put at ease no matter how seriously the treatment may play out. I’m not not singling out these hospitals as exemplars of what health care should be in this country. For a hospital, be it a building in a community setting or even a tent in some distressed, conﬂict-torn part of the world, is but a structure. What’s important is that it houses the skills of those who know how to save lives and make those of other individuals better. And that’s the most vital feature of a medical facility — that the work of its staff continues uninterrupted every day. *** And to all of you who have expressed sympathy, prayers and concern for my own condition, all I can say is, I am eternally grateful. Realizing I have a long road to travel, of which I will know more about in a few days, the support expressed on my behalf is having its effect in elevating my spirits and allowing me to continue doing things I enjoy — like writing this column. To all, thank you. Looking forward to being here next week. Kevin Kelly, who was affiliated with Ohio Valley Publishing for 21 years, resides in Vinton, Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — No ﬁnalists, but still a lot of good memories. The Ohio Valley Publishing area went scoreless on the ﬁrst day of the 2018 OHSAA Track and Field Championships held Friday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University. The Eastern senior-junior duo of Tyler Davis and Noah Browning both missed the ﬁnals in their respective Division III events, while Gallia Academy senior John Stout also came up an eye-blink short of competing in the Division II ﬁnals on Saturday. Stout — appearing in his ﬁrst-ever state event at Jesse Owens Stadium — had the sixth-fastest time in his heat of the Division II 200m dash with a mark of 22.46 seconds. Stout ended up 14th out of 18 competitors and missed the ﬁnal qualifying spot by roughly one-ﬁfth of a second. The Blue Devils — who last scored points at the 2014 Division II meet — have had at least one male competitor at Jesse Owens for ﬁve consecutive postseasons. Davis — appearing in his ﬁrst-ever state event at Jesse Owens Stadium — placed 15th out of 16 competitors in the Division III shot put event with a throw of 46 feet, 7¾ inches. Davis ended up missing the ﬁnal qualifying mark by more than ﬁve feet and was also eighth of eight competitors in the second ﬂight. Browning — also appearing in his ﬁrst-ever state event at Jesse Owens Stadium — ended up eighth out of nine competitors in the second of two Division III 400m dash semiﬁnals on Friday. Browning’s time of 51.96 See MEET | 3B NCAA moves toward reform on transfers By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press The NCAA is about two weeks away from ﬁnally making some substantial reforms to transfer rules. The changes will not be quite as extensive as some had hoped and the work is not complete, but considering previous failed attempts, getting anything accomplished on transfers can be counted as a success. The NCAA’s transfer working group, led by South Dakota State athletic director Justin Sell, will reconvene in Indianapolis on June 11 and plans to present a proposal to the Division I Council that will end the practice of schools and coaches blocking an athlete from transferring or dictating where an athlete can go. The change to a notiﬁcation model from a permission model is likely to pass that week, Sell said. “We’ve got nothing but really positive feedback across the board,” Sell told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I’m assuming that’s going to go through very easily and smoothly.” Currently, an athlete must ask a coach for permission to contact other schools when choosing to transfer. A school interested in recruiting a transferring player also must ask the athlete’s current school for permission to recruit the athlete. Without permission from the athlete’s original school, the athlete cannot get ﬁnancial aid from another school. The new model would free athletes to be contacted when they notify their current coaches.

Smith — leading for the second straight week— has an nine-week total of 89 points, 4½ ahead of Bobby Watson in second place. A season-high 74 players came to play on Tuesday, making up 17 four-man teams and a pair of trios. The winning foursome, ﬁring a 13-under par 57, was the team of Smith, Bill Rood, Scott Crawford and John Williams. One shot back, in second place, was the quartet of Watson, Steve Safford, Cliff Gordon and Kenny Pridemore. The third place foursome, which recorded an 11-under par 59, was made up of Sibert Belcher, Doug Hendrixson, Claude Profﬁtt and Carl Stone. The closest to the pin winners were Belcher on the ninth hole and Mitch Mace on No. 14. The current top-10 standings are as follows: Dewey Smith (89.0) Bobby Watson (84.5), Bob Humphreys (78.0), Carl Stone (77.5) , Kenny Pridemore (71.0), Paul Maynard (70.5) Albert Durst (69.0), Mick Winebrenner (66.0), Ed Coon (63.0) and Charlie Hargraves (62.5). Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Head coach Jeremy Hill talks to the Eastern bench during a regular season game against the Marauders, on February 10 inside Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium in Rocksprings, Ohio. Hill takes over as MHS boys coach By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Marauders didn’t have to look far to ﬁnd their next boys basketball coach. Jeremy Hill — who spent the past ﬁve seasons coaching Eastern — was hired as the MHS varsity boys basketball head coach at the Meigs Local Board of Education meeting on May 8. In his ﬁve seasons with Eastern, Hill and the Eagles won 29 games, improving their win total from the previous campaign in each of the last three seasons. “Leaving Eastern was a tough decision,” Hill said. “I wanted to continue coaching and I didn’t think my time there was going to be beneﬁcial for either one of us any longer. This opportunity gives me the chance to continue coaching, and perhaps have a do-over for my coaching career.” After just two wins in each his ﬁrst two seasons at EHS, Hill led the Eagles to six wins in 2015-16, nine wins in the 2016-17 season, and 10 wins last season. A point of pride during Hill’s stent at Eastern was not only the development shown by the Eagles on the court, but outside the lines as well. “I’m really proud of the fact that we never had anybody on our bas- “Leaving Eastern was a tough decision. I wanted to continue coaching and I didn’t think my time there was going to be beneficial for either one of us any longer. This opportunity gives me the chance to continue coaching, and perhaps have a do-over for my coaching career.” — Jeremy Hill, MHS basketball coach ketball team — whether it be a jay-vee player or a varsity player — not have eligibility due to grades,” said Hill. “Not once did we have to have any strong disciplinary actions. When we went out into the community we were thanked and praised about the way our student-athletes acted a presented themselves. Those things go a long ways in my mind. “I do believe that we did a ﬁne job of not only teaching basketball, but teaching these kids some life skills. Next year’s ball club is going to be a special one for them. I believe they should be ﬁghting for the top of the league in the Hocking Division.” Eastern had just two players graduate from last year’s 10-13 team. Along with his resignation from the EHS boys basketball team, Hill also stepped away from his duties as varsity golf coach, a position he held for two seasons. The EHS boys golf team was a district qualiﬁer last fall. At Meigs, Hill will be replacing Ed Fry, who resigned from his post as MHS head coach after four seasons and a 52-40 mark. “Coach Fry had a very good program here at Meigs, and he should be commended for everything that he did,” Hill said. “He consistently put a good game of basketball out there, but we differ in philosophy. He was more of a 1-3-1 zone coach and I run more man-to-man. We’re obviously going to need to take baby steps in converting the kids from a zone mentality into a man-to-man, help-side defense mentality.” The Marauders won 10 of their ﬁnal 15 games last season and could return every player from the 10-14 squad, as it featured zero seniors. “I’m still getting to know the kids here,” said Hill. “You’re only going to go as far as your seniors take you, I’m going to rely on them to teach me a little bit about the environment that I’m coming into. We have a ﬁne junior class to compliment the senior group, and what’s really good is the youth is there as well. The sophomore group and the incoming freshmen are very talented.” Last season, Meigs ﬁnished ﬁfth in the seventeam Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division, posting a 5-7 league record. With Eastern last season, Hill didn’t face the top-4 teams in the ﬁnal TVC Ohio standings, but he’s conﬁdent that his players have enough experience in the trenches to help make up his ﬁrst-year transition a smooth one. “To me, next year’s schedule is different,” Hill said. “I would use the term brutal to describe it in comparison to the Hocking. It’ll be a challenge for myself, but the good thing is that the players that I have know nothing different. They know what they’re facing, they’ve been up against this competition for several years now, so it’s not a change for them, it’s just a change for their coach.” One of the early goals that Hill has for the MHS boys basketball program was inspired by University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari. “Twice when (Calipari) took a new job he used the phrase that he See HILL | 3B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, June 3, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel Additional scenes from Day 1 of OHSAA meet OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Tri-County Junior golf schedule GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The schedule for the 2018 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League has been released.

Barr resigns as Wahama football coach By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com MASON, W.Va. — The home sideline at Bachtel Stadium will be without a familiar face next fall. After more than a decade with the White Falcons, including the last 4½ seasons as head coach, Dave Barr resigned from his post with the Wahama football program in April. Barr — the 2017 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division co-Coach of the Year — is headed to the next level, as he has taken the job as defensive coordinator of the Hocking College Hawks. “Coaching in college is something I’ve always wanted to do,” said Barr. “There was a day in December, I got up and thought ‘you’re 52, they’re not going to keep calling and offering opportunities forever,’ so I decided to take it.” Barr began his coaching tenure with the White Falcons as defensive coordinator, the same position that he held when Wahama won the Class A state championship in 2012. “I’m real thankful for my time here,” Barr said. “We made two trips to Wheeling and we were in the playoffs a ton. Being a state champion was something I never thought I’d be a part of, and I was able to do that here. I’m just so thankful, because a lot of good things have happened here.” In Week 7 of the 2013 season, Barr took over head coaching duties following the resignation of Ed Cromley. Starting with a 53-12 victory over Federal Hocking, Wahama won its ﬁrst ﬁve games under Barr. The ﬁfth game of that streak was in the opening round of the postseason, when the White Falcons defeated Clay-Battelle by a 49-27 count.

Big 12 moving to complete verifying Baylor’s Title IX reform IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Big 12 is working toward the completion of verifying that Baylor is fully implementing 105 recommendations for reforming its Title IX process after a campus sexual assault scandal broke two years ago. West Virginia President Gordon Gee, chairman of the Big 12’s board of directors, said Thursday night that the league subcommittee looking into the Baylor situation is “coming close” to having the necessary veriﬁcation. When asked what that meant timing-wise, Gee, who is part of that subcommittee, responded, “Oh, much less than a year, and probably not tomorrow.” That was a reference to Friday, the ﬁnal day of the Big 12 spring meetings and when the league announces its revenue distribution for the 2017-18 academic year. The Big 12 last year started withholding 25 percent of revenue payments to Baylor pending veriﬁcation of the changes recommended by Pepper Hamilton, the ﬁrm that handled the initial investigation in 2016 at the school. The scandal led to the departures of school president Ken Starr, athletic director Ian McCaw and two-time Big 12 champion football coach Art Briles.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Coming off its ﬁrst NCAA tournament appearance in 31 years, the Marshall men’s basketball team will take an eightday trip to the Bahamas in August.

(AP) — West Virginia’s football team will have several night games at home process to verify that the university is fully implementing 105 recommendations for reforming its this fall.

Big 12 reports $365M revenue, increases West Virginia to have at least 3 night home games this fall Title IX directors, made up of the presidents and chancellors from the league’s universities, is in October. The focus of the Big 12 review is to verify that Baylor is implementing the Pepper Hamilton recommendations dealing with processes, communication, training and response related to incidents of sexual violence. Attorney Janet P. Judge, who helped author an NCAA manual on gender equity, was hired by the league last year to help in the veriﬁcation needed for Baylor to get its full Big 12 revenue distribution. Linda Livingstone, who is wrapping up her ﬁrst year as Baylor’s president, said the school is working “very positively and collaboratively” with the conference. “We look forward to continue working with the Big 12,” Liv- ingstone said. “I hope that others are learning from the experience that we’ve had. I think if anybody looks at what we’ve done and the audit that is public, that we’ve posted on those 105, it’s a great roadmap for any other institution to look at with regards for policies and processes and procedures.” Baylor has settled federal Title IX lawsuits against the school related to the sexual assault scandal and previously settled with three women who hadn’t sued. There are still other lawsuits, as well as federal, state and NCAA investigations. “Each of those occurs on a bit different time cycle,” Livingstone said. “We certainly hope that over the next 1-2 years that the majority of those issues, and the majority of the lawsuits that we’re working through are resolved and addressed.” leave,” said Barr. “It was pretty late, so I passed on it.

I didn’t think I wanted to make a living doing that, because it’s so much time. In today’s world, with all of the social media, the kids come to you with video clips and different things.” In addition to his coaching tenure with the White Falcons, Barr has been head football coach at Southern for six seasons, Eastern for three years, and Roane County for two, as well as Hannan and Wellston for one year apiece. Barr will remain at Wahama as a teacher and as the varsity track and ﬁeld coach. From page 2B A $10 million distribution had already been made last year when the league decided to withhold money in escrow. About $6 million of Baylor’s remaining $24.8 million distribution was withheld last June when the league’s 10 schools shared $348 million in revenue. Another record revenue number is expected Friday. “Baylor’s done a tremendous job of responding to everything we’ve asked for,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. “I think we’d like to move ahead as efﬁciently and as soon as we possibly can.” After the Big 12 spring meetings wrap up, the next scheduled meeting of the league’s board of Barr Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

NCAA From page 1B athletes’ names would go into a database created and managed by the NCAA, alerting schools of who can be recruited. The changes will come with stricter tampering rules to help appease coaches who worry illegal recruiting could rise. Sell’s group has been working on transfer reform since last year. The NCAA has had several committees take a crack at transfer rules in recent years, but this is the ﬁrst to come up with something substantive — if not comprehensive. “We aren’t going to get as far down the path on transfers as I think most people hoped we would,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said this week during the conference’s meetings in Dallas. “But the permission to transfer is gone, we think it will be gone, and the notiﬁcation of transfers coming in. What that does at a practical level is it switches the control from the coach or the institution to the student-athlete. We think that’s the right way to go.” Much of the talk about transfers focuses on the so-called year-in-residence, the one year a player in the most high proﬁle sports such as football and basketball must sit out after switching schools. There was talk of easing that restriction, which doesn’t exist in most NCAA sports. Golfers, tennis players and other athletes in traditionally nonrevenue sports can transfer one time without sitting out. There was never serious consideration to lifting the year-in-residence altogether. There was discussion about tying unrestricted transfer to an athlete’s grade point average. That idea has fallen off the table amid concerns about creating an inequitable system that could face legal challenges. The transfer working group initially was looking at uniformity across all sports. Now that will be re-examined in the fall, Sell said. Transfer rules also vary from conference to conference and those rules are being reconsidered at league-level meetings as well. Most notably, what to do about transfers within conference. Some leagues are stricter than others. At the Southeastern Conference meetings in Destin, Florida, this week, the league is considering whether players who transfer from a school under NCAA sanctions should be allowed to go to another SEC school. There is also a debate about whether graduate transfers, who are not required to sit out a season by NCAA rules, should be allowed to transfer within the SEC and play immediately. The SEC requires grad transfers to sit out a season if they want to stay in conference. The conference can provide a waiver to allow in-conference transfers, which can put coaches who want to follow the letter of the law in a tough spot. “If we agree in the SEC at these meetings that we’re going to have free agency in our league and everybody can go wherever they want to go when they graduate, that’s what we should do,” Alabama coach Nick Saban told reporters. “But if we don’t do that, why is it on me? We have a conference rule that says … he can do it, but he has to sit out for a year. So, why is it on me? It’s not even my decision. It’s a conference rule.” �SPORTS 4B Sunday, June 3, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel Rugby player looks to stick with Steelers PITTSBURGH (AP) — Christian Scotland-Williamson looks the part. Standing on the practice ﬁeld with the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the rookie tight end blends in seamlessly. The 25-yearold is tall (6-foot-9), big (275 pounds) and athletic. Then Scotland-Williamson opens his mouth. A polite British accent comes out, the kind that would go unnoticed on a soccer pitch, but on a ﬁeld crammed with dozens of players practically weaned on America’s Game, it raises eyebrows. Lots of eyebrows. Scotland-Williamson gets it. The former rugby player who was raised in the London suburbs understands he’s a bit of a curiosity as a member of the second graduating class of the NFL’s International Player Pathway program. At the heart of it all, however, Scotland-Williamson ﬁgures the only thing separating him from his teammates is experience. Not passion. Not athleticism. And certainly not drive. “It’s one of those things where when I was younger, if I’d been exposed to American football I probably would have played it at an earlier age,” Scotland-Williamson said. “But being a British kid, it’s not at your doorstep, so it’s quite hard.” So Scotland-Williamson opted for rugby. He turned professional at 20 and spent four seasons with the Worcester Warriors of the English Premiership, the top rugby division in the United Kingdom. Then cameras caught him making a monster tackle in a game last spring and his phone rang, with folks wondering if he’d like to come to the U.S. and join the IPP. Started in 2017, the IPP selects a handful of athletes from other countries to come to the U.S. to learn the ﬁner points of pro football. If they make it through a four-month boot camp at IMG Academy in Florida, they can be assigned to an NFL club, where they will spend a season on the practice squad to prove themselves in what amounts to one of the most unusual internships on the planet. Though Scotland-Williamson’s rugby career appeared on the rise, the prospect of heading overseas was simply too tantalizing to pass up. “It’s kind of like that movie ‘Inception,’ once one plants that seed, that’s it,” he said. “I’m very much someone who doesn’t want to live with any regrets and look back at 50 or 60 years old at a bar with your mates and think, ‘Oh no, what if I could have done this but didn’t.’ So that’s why I’m here really.” The initial IPP graduation class last spring included three athletes from the United King- Keith Srakocic | AP file Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Christian Scotland-Williamson (49) makes a catch during NFL football practice May 22 in Pittsburgh. Scotland-Williamson knew little about football until January. Now the former rugby player from London is in the midst of what amounts to a one-year internship with the Pittsburgh Steelers as part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program. The 6-foot-9, 275-pounder is learning the game one snap at a time. dom and another from Germany. The current group includes Scotland-Williamson and Australian rugby player Jordan Mailata, who impressed the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles so much they used a seventh-round draft pick on him to make sure he didn’t end up somewhere else. Scotland-Williamson is not quite as polished. He understood little about the game outside of what he occasionally saw on TV when he arrived in Florida in January. The highly regimented day started with a 6 a.m. walkthrough and often lasted until a ﬁlm session at a coach’s house that wouldn’t wrap up until around 9:30 p.m. “We learned a hell of a lot in a short amount of time,” ScotlandWilliamson said. Just not everything. Though he’s studied up on the 100-plus page NFL rule book, he admits he’s still a little fuzzy on details in some spots. And while the ﬁlm work certainly helps, it’s quite a bit different when you have your helmet on standing in an offensive huddle listening to a quarterback bark out a play that has very speciﬁc instructions. Compared to rugby’s more freeﬂowing style, it’s a lot to take in. The evidence can be found on the practice ﬁeld. While Scotland-Williamson thinks he’s handling his business just ﬁne as a blocker, route running is another matter. The player who never donned so much as a football helmet until rookie mini- camp earlier this month practically staples himself to tight ends coach James Daniel, hoping to soak up as much as he can as fast as he can. Yet Scotland-Williamson understands he can’t rush things. That’s why he’s grateful the opportunity didn’t arise until his mid-20s. Spending four years as a professional rugby player taught him how to deal with bumps in the road. “I have a better perspective,” he said. “Especially with this where you’re going to get your butt kicked every day for a while until things start clicking. You have to have quite thick skin, so that’s helped.” So does a bit of a thick head. When he told his parents he was putting his rugby career on hold to give football a try, his father balked. “I had to give him a massive sales pitch,” Scotland-Williamson said. That included one very important point: This wasn’t a lark or a publicity stunt or fulﬁlling some bit of wanderlust. This was real. “I don’t think you go into this half-hearted,” he said. “You want it all. You want to make the 53 (man roster). You want to go to Super Bowls. You want to end up being the ﬁrst international player to make it big. That’s the biggest thing, not only to represent myself, but it means a lot for the international players who were born outside of America who don’t think they have a chance.” Warriors withstand James’ 51 points to win OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry scored 29 points and the Golden State Warriors capitalized on a Cavaliers blunder that sent the game into overtime, withstanding a brilliant 51-point performance by LeBron James to beat Cleveland 124-114 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. The game nearly over, James jawed with both Curry and Klay Thompson, then Tristan Thompson and Draymond Green tangled moments later and made contact. After replay review, Tristan Thompson received a Flagrant 2 foul and ejection with 2.6 seconds left. James was in utter disbelief as regulation ended in stunning fashion: George Hill made the ﬁrst of two free throws with 4.7 seconds left after being fouled by Klay Thompson, but when J.R. Smith secured the rebound of the second, he dribbled back toward halfcourt instead of shooting, apparently thinking the Cavs had a lead. “He thought it was over. He thought we were up one,” coach Tyronn Lue said. Instead, OT. And why not? Both these teams were pushed to their limits in seven-game conference ﬁnals they each had to win on the road. Game 2 is Sunday night back at Oracle Arena, where the Warriors have won 18 of their last 19 postseason games. In 2015, when the Golden State beat the Cavs to capture the franchise’s ﬁrst title in 40 years, the ﬁrst two games of the series went to OT — Golden State winning the opener and Cleveland Game 2. James shot 19 for 32 to go with eight assists and eight rebounds in the opener of his eighth straight NBA Finals and ninth overall, as well as CavsWarriors Take IV. James notched his eighth 40-point game during this playoff run to tie Hall of Famer Jerry West’s feat in 1965 for most in a single postseason. James drove past Curry for a three-point play with 50 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. But James was given a foul following a review with 36.4 seconds left and Kevin Durant converted a pair of free throws to tie it at 104. The call had initially been a charge on 2017 Finals MVP Durant and James protested the change. Lue was disgusted to lose this way, saying of the call being overturned with James outside the restricted area, “It’s never been done, ever in the history of the game.” “It was great, it was epic and he did enough to carry this team to a victory,” Lue said. “…To do what he did tonight and to come up robbed, it’s just not right.” Durant struggled with his shot but wound up with 26 points on 8-for-22 shooting and nine rebounds. Golden State got a serious scare when Thompson went down after Smith slid hard into the Splash Brother’s left leg at the 6:17 mark of the ﬁrst quarter. Thompson lay grimacing in pain then went to the locker room with what was called a bruised left leg that needed re-taping. He returned for the start of the second quarter to huge roars from the yellowclad sellout crowd and scored 24 points. He and Curry each connected on ﬁve 3s. Curry drained one of those way-out-there 3-pointers that have been hard to come by this postseason to beat the halftime buzzer and Golden State shot 13 for 36 from deep. Kevin Love returned from a concussion to provide a big boost for Cleveland with 21 points and 13 rebounds.

(AP) — The ending was weird. The postgame was weird. At least Game 1 of what was supposed to be a lopsided NBA Finals was anything but boring. It had a little of everything: A player stumbled and buckled Klay Thompson’s knee to send the Warriors’ sharp-shooter limping to the locker room in the opening minutes; let Stephen Curry get loose for a 30-footer at the halftime buzzer; grabbed a rebound in the ﬁnal seconds of regulation with the score tied and inexplicably ran toward midcourt as if he thought the game was over. And all that was just J.R. Smith. The opener of this Cleveland-Golden State series should have been memorable for other reasons — LeBron James scoring a playoff career-high 51 points, the Warriors having three players score at least 24 and Draymond Green nearly getting a triple-double. Instead, this game’s legacy is an overturned charge call late in regulation, Smith’s gaffes, contradictory explanations from Cleveland and hot tempers in the ﬁnal seconds. Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s assessment? “Lucky.” Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue’s assessment? “Robbed.” Warriors 124, Cavaliers 114, overtime. That’s what the box score says and will forever say, and the defending champions are now one step closer to winning their third title in four years. Golden State left Oracle Arena relieved. Cleveland left angered. Those emotions will likely remain in place all the way until Game 2 tips off on Sunday night. James wants the Cavs to put it behind them. “We’ve got to move on,” James said. “This game is over and done with.” Easier said than done, particularly with two full off days to now deal with, two full off days to replay everything over and over and over and over and over again. Let’s be clear: The Warriors aren’t here because of luck. They have a coach who has won 80 percent of his career games. They have four All-Stars in the same lineup. They have two NBA MVPs. But they got every break in Game 1. Every break. Start in the beginning, when Smith slipped and stumbled into Thompson’s knee. It had all the makings of some sort of knee structural disaster — the hit came from the side, Thompson twisted awkwardly, went down in a heap and was obviously in immediate, intense pain. Thompson limped away to the Warriors’ locker room for evaluation. He was back in a few minutes.

Hits top strikeouts in MLB in May, reversing trend AP file photos From left to right, old time fighters Jim Corbett, John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain pose in undated photos. In 1889, John L. Sullivan, known as the Boston Strong Boy, beat Jake Kilrain in 75 rounds, yes, 75, in what the International Boxing Hall of Fame has called the “last significant bare knuckle bout in boxing.” Since then, any bare-knuckle fighting witnessed by spectators have occurred mostly during impromptu bar fights. But on Saturday, at the Cheyenne Ice and Events Center in Wyoming, 10 bouts of bare-knuckle boxing, including one involving female fighters, are scheduled to be held in a ring with rounded ropes instead of the traditional square. Bare-knuckle boxing from a bygone era looks for a comeback CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — In 1889, the great John L. Sullivan, the Boston Strong Boy, beat Jake Kilrain in 75 rounds — yes, 75 — in what the International Boxing Hall of Fame has called the “last signiﬁcant bare-knuckle bout in boxing.” Since then, about the only gloves-off ﬁghting many people have witnessed has consisted of bar brawls. But on Saturday night, 10 bouts of bare-knuckle boxing, including one involving female ﬁghters, will take place at the Cheyenne Ice and Events Center. The event, available on payper-view, is being promoted as the ﬁrst legal, regulated and sanctioned bare-knuckle ﬁght event in U.S. history. Back in Sullivan’s day, there were no sanctioning bodies and few if any regulations. “I think it’s what the public wants to see. The public is begging for something new,” promoter David Feldman said, noting that it has been 25 years since the advent of UFC mixed martial arts. “We’re hopefully leading the way to a new era in combat sports.” The boxers will be allowed wraps around their thumbs and wrists but will not wear any protection over their knuckles the way ﬁghters normally do in traditional boxing, MMA or other combat sports where padded gloves of various thickness are used. Each bout is scheduled for ﬁve, 2-minute rounds, fought in a ring with rounded ropes instead of the traditional square. Bare-knuckle regulations are otherwise similar to those of glove boxing, in that opponents can only throw punches and there’s a standing eight count and a three-knockdown rule. “But when you’re in a clinch, you can hit with the open hand. You can pull the back of their neck into punches,” Feldman said. “So it gives a little bit more excitement in the clinches.” ESPN boxing columnist Nigel Collins said gloves — originally known as mufﬂers — were introduced around the 18th century to help protect ﬁghters’ hands and the aristocrats who took up the sport. Collins said he personally isn’t interested in bare-knuckle ﬁghting “but I wouldn’t knock it. If that’s what people want to do, let them do it.” He said it would be hypocritical of fans of boxing and other martial arts to object to the danger and brutality. Feldman’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships organization has been trying to get bare-knuckle boxing sanctioned in a number of states. The Wyoming State Board of Mixed Martial Arts, created in 2012, was the ﬁrst to do so. Board chairman Bryan Pedersen said the board received no opposition and saw the event as an opportunity to provide better safety than is afforded at unregulated bare-knuckle ﬁghts. Ringside doctors, for instance, are required at state-sanctioned bouts. The board reviewed research that indicated bare-knuckle boxing will be safer than other combat sports, especially when it comes to concussions, Pedersen said. “If you look at what we already regulate in the state of Wyoming — we regulate kickboxing and MMA, right?” he said. “In those two, you could take an elbow to the head, a knee to the head or a shin kick to the head. And go out in your yard and punch a basketball and kick a basketball and see what goes farther.” Fighter Bobby Gunn, who is on the card Saturday night, said Wyoming is bringing a sport that exists underground into the light of day. “I don’t got to worry about being arrested,” Gunn said with a laugh. Pedersen sees advantages for the state of Wyoming as well: “I see the whole thing as a giant economic possibility for diversity in our state and to really help promote the Cowboy State and our strong sense of Western independence.” Ricco Rodriguez, a former UFC champion who is making his ﬁrst try at bare-knuckle ﬁghting on Saturday, said it seems safer to him than other gloved combat ﬁghting because the athletes know they have to be more careful not to injure their hands. “You hit an elbow or you hit the back of the head or something, you’re liable to deﬁnitely break your hand,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez said his training for Saturday included conditioning his hands by punching wood dummies and doing pushups on his knuckles. NEW YORK (AP) — Hits exceeded strikeouts across Major League Baseball in May after a historic number of whiffs in April. This marks a return to form. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, there were 7,033 hits and 6,971 strikeouts in May. Strikeouts had topped hits in a full month for the ﬁrst time in April, when then there were 6,656 strikeouts and 6,360 hits. The previous low differential was in April 2017, when there were 138 more hits than strikeouts. Strikeouts per game dropped to 16.75 in May from 17.5 in April, a record for a full calendar month. Strikeouts have set a record for 10 consecutive seasons, and this year’s rate projects to 41,633. That would shatter last year’s mark of 40,104; the total was 32,884 in 2008. Arizona batters have 131 more strikeouts than hits this season while Texas is at 119 and San Diego at 117. Boston has the best differential, with 97 more strikeouts than hits, followed by Atlanta (81) and Detroit (78). Contact improved slightly with better weather. Thus far this season, 32 percent of 63,868 plate appearances ended without a batted ball in play: 14,306 strikeouts, 5,557 walks, 626 hit batters and 12 catcher’s interference calls. That is down from 33 percent through April. There have been 1,888 home runs in 835 games, an average of 2.26. That represents a drop from 2.43 last year through May, when where there were 1,923 in 791 games. The average climbed from 1.90 before the 2015 AllStar break to 2.17 in the second half that year, then rose to 2.31 in 2016 and a record 2.51 last season. Unwritten rules of the game up for debate at NBA Finals OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Time was running out in a game earlier this season that Golden State was going to win by 10 points, and Andre Iguodala decided to take a 3-pointer instead of getting the Warriors charged with a shot-clock violation. The Warriors’ opponent that night: Cleveland. If an unwritten rule of basketball was broken, no one seemed bothered then. But in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, when Shaun Livingston took a jumper with about 3 seconds left in overtime and the outcome decided, the Cavaliers’ feathers got rufﬂed and Tristan Thompson got ejected. One can only guess how those emotions will affect things when the series resumes with Game 2 on Sunday night. “I contested a shot that shouldn’t have been taken,” Thompson said. “Whatever. Just play it to the end,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. It’s a thorny issue with no solution. Philadelphia and Miami jawed over late-game shot attempts in their playoff series this season. The 76ers and Cavs exchanged words over a Dario Saric dunk late in a blowout in March. The Warriors’ JaVale McGee got shoved by Washington’s Brandon Jennings while taking a late 3 in a rout last season. Toronto once sent about half its team to speak to Lance Stephenson after a late open layup in an Indiana win. And now the rules — arbitrary as they may be — are up for debate in the NBA Finals after the Cavaliers took offense to the Warriors playing offense. �COMICS 6B Sunday, June 3, 2018 BLONDIE Sunday Times-Sentinel By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � ª$IFFICULTY ,EVEL Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� Today’s Solution By Bil and Jeff Keane see what’s brewing on the job market.

Jessica Wilson, DO Family Medicine Physician Holistic Osteopathic Approach to Medicine When I was an undergraduate at Marshall, I opened a health professions book and landed on an entry about osteopathic medicine. The whole person approach really resonated with me. Studying osteopathic medicine opened my eyes to a completely new way of thinking about health and disease. It’s changed the way I live and interact with the world around me. After finishing my residency program at Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital, my journey led me home to care for the people in my community. Listening to my patients and partnering in their care is at the heart of the holistic osteopathic approach to medicine. As a DO, I’m trained to promote the body’s natural tendency toward health and self-healing.
