POMEROY — A
ﬁghter to the end, a
staunch advocate for
his county and clients, a
friend to all who knew
him, Steve Story was
remembered fondly on
Monday by those who
knew him best.
Story, a former Middleport Solicitor, Meigs
County Prosecutor and
current County Court
Judge, passed away on
Saturday after a battle
with cancer.
“He struggled optimistically throughout,”
said Story’s friend, local
magistrate Linda Warner. “He remained optimistic and positive.”
Not one to sit back,
Story worked up until
Wednesday of last
week, spending hours
each week in his law
ofﬁce on Main Street
and in County Court,
where he had served
as judge for nearly two

decades.
“He was a wonderful judge, a wonderful
person to work for. He
treated you like family,” said members of
the County Court staff.
“He was more than just
a boss, he was a great
friend.”
Those sentiments
were echoed by
Michelle Shupe and
Pam Reeves, who work
in Story’s Law Ofﬁce.
“Family always came
ﬁrst,” said Shupe. “He
treated us and his kids
like his own.”
Reeves and Shupe
noted that Story was
devoted to his work, his
business and his clients,
spending nearly 40
years practicing law in

Flags at the Meigs County Courthouse and other government buildings around Meigs County were ordered to be lowered to half-staff on
Monday morning following the passing of County Court Judge Steve Story and former-EMA director and longtime volunteer firefighter
Bob Byer. Story passed away on Saturday and Byer on Sunday. See related Page 1 stories regarding the lives of both men and the

Pomeroy man arrested in Mason County
Steve Story speaks at the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce
Gala in the fall of 2015. Story spoke of the benefits of
small businesses over big business and encouraged people to
support the small business community. “The local business are
the sponsors of our kids, they give back to the community,” he
said. “We all share a common goal, to make businesses in the
county strong. If everyone would spend their dollars in this
county, it would go a long way. We need to support our local
businesses.”

Staff Report

MASON — A Pomeroy,
Ohio, man was arrested
in Mason Saturday night
on felony warrants out of
Mason County.
Athey
According to Mason
Police Chief Colton McKinney, Matthew Allen Athey, 40, was
arrested by Patrolman Clayton
Gibbs.

McKinney said Gibbs
attempted to conduct a
trafﬁc stop on a red truck
Saturday night, but lost
sight of the vehicle. The
patrolman later located the
abandoned truck on Track
Lane in Mason.
After investigating,
Gibbs had reasonable suspicion to
believe the driver was wanted for
felony charges in Mason County,

the chief said. The Mason County
Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit was
called, and “Nico” tracked Athey
to a home, where he surrendered.
Athey was arrested and taken to
the Western Regional Jail. Bond
was set at $75,000, and Athey
remained in jail as of Monday.
Assisting at the scene were the
Mason County Sheriff’s Department and New Haven Police
Department.

Gallipolis City Park will once again host anglers from across the region in search of the biggest bass the Ohio River has to offer.

Bass tourney returns on Ohio
By Morgan McKinniss

mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest.
com

OHIO VALLEY — The
American Bass Anglers
Tournament Trail is set
to return to Gallipolis.
The ABA Trail offers
amateur anglers a chance
to compete on a national
trail and earn points
towards the national
tournament, which puts
the 500 best anglers in
the country in competition.
“The American Bass
Anglers Tournament
Trail is the largest tournament trail in the nation
for the weekend angler,”
said Barry Davis, director for the Ohio Central
Division. “In our tournaments, you can enter as
a boater or a non-boater,
and through a blind draw

the morning of the tournament you are paired
together for a day on the
water.”
The tournament on the
Ohio River is an individual draw, so even though
two ﬁsherman may share
a boat, they are still in
competition against each
other.
This tournament is
one of the only southern
qualifying tournaments
in the ABA for the Ohio
Central Division, drawing anglers from across
the state as well as eager
locals wanting to compete.
“We’re based out of
central Ohio, and years
ago I contacted several
communities along the
river because I wanted
to give our anglers the
chance to experience a
different kind of ﬁshing

environment, and ﬁshing on the Ohio River is
deﬁnitely different than
ﬁshing on a man-made
lake,”said Davis. “When
I talked to then director of the Gallia County
Convention and Visitors
Bureau Bob Hood, we
came up with an agreement, we came down,
and we’ve been there
ever since.”
The ultimate goal for
anglers in the ABA is
the national tournament,
which will draw 500 of
the best anglers. Winners
in various categories
at that tournament win
brand new Triton bass
boats and the top twenty
percent of the ﬁeld.
“What’s nice about the
river is, anglers are not
limited to the Gallipolis
pool. They can lock up
the Kanawha or up river,

but if they’re late that’s
on them. What’s nice is
you have so many miles
of water to ﬁsh and you
have largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass
down there, so you get
a variety of ﬁsh,” said
Davis.
This is the only tournament in the Ohio Central
Division that is held on a
Sunday, due to the reception that GCCVB holds
on Saturday evening for
the anglers and tournament organizers.
Anybody is eligible for
the tournament, however they must register
as an ABA member and
the tournament, both of
which can be done by
visiting americanbassanglers.com. Fishing starts
at sunrise (5:45 a.m.) on
June 24, with weigh in at
2:15 p.m.

school must serve all of its students well, not just those who are
college bound. It also must be able
to produce measurable academic
outcomes to show it is successfully
educating its student body across
a range of performance indicators.
A four-step process determined
the Best High Schools:
Step one determined whether
each school’s students were performing better than statistically
expected for students in that state.
The 10 percent of schools with
the highest performance on their
state’s reading and math assessment tests passed this step.
For schools passing step one,
step two assessed whether their
historically under served students
(black, Hispanic and low income)
performed at or better than the
state average for historically under

served students.
If step two was passed, the
school proceeded to step three,
which required schools to meet
or surpass a benchmark for their
graduation rate. High schools only
passed this step if their graduation
rate was 80 percent or greater.
Schools that made it through the
ﬁrst three steps were eligible to be
judged nationally on the ﬁnal step
of college-readiness performance,
using Advanced Placement and
International Baccalaureate test
data as the benchmark. The fourth
step measured which schools
produced the best college-level
achievement for the highest percentages of their students.
Only 500 high schools nationwide, or 2.4 percent, received gold
medals. Receiving silver medals
were 2,211 high schools, or 10.8
percent, and receiving bronze
medals were 3,237 high schools,
or 15.8 percent of the eligible
schools.

over the event coordination. Morrison has been
known to bring back a
pick-up load of trash,
according to Bissell.
The amount of volunteers is down from
last year, when about 80
people showed up to help.
Most of the volunteers
were from Meigs County
4-H clubs, but there are
some who show up with
their families to help the
community each year.
According to Bissell,
the sponsors this year
were Powell’s FoodFair,

Volunteers filled dozens of trash bags with items found along the
river during the annual clean up event.

Despite his battle with cancer, Story could often
be found hearing cases in the courtroom and was
preparing to run for re-election in November at
the time of his passing.
Local Attorney Mick Barr had stepped in as acting judge at the request of Story at times during
the past year-and-a-half as he sought treatment.
“Steve asked and I was honored to do what I
could to help him and the court,” said Barr.
Story was always one to help out a friend, a new
attorney or anyone he met along the way.
“Steve was a good friend and mentor. I was
fortunate enough to work at his ofﬁce when I
ﬁnished law school, and I quickly learned that
he genuinely cared about people. He was always
willing to help someone, whether it be a stranger,
friend or a family member. In fact, I don’t think
he ever met a ‘stranger’ in the sense that he could
befriend anyone and carry on a conversation as if
they had known each other for years,” said Gallia
County Assistant Prosecutor Jeremy Fisher.
Likewise, Warner got her start working for
Story, as did many others over the years.
“He offered me my ﬁrst public job in 1989 as an
assistant prosecutor,” said Warner, calling Story a
dear personal and family friend.
Attorney Robert Bright also got his start with
Story, who became much more to him over the
years.
“Steve was like a big brother and second father
to me,” said Bright. “He hired me in his private
ofﬁce before I passed the bar exam and essentially
made my career. He was one of the kindest and
nicest people you could ever meet and was always
willing to provide me counsel and advice — even
after I left his ofﬁce and took another job. And
then when that job didn’t work out, he helped my
family and I through that difﬁcult time and sent
me work to do for him or on my own.”
Bright and Story maintained that connection
even after the young attorney went out on his
own.
“We’ve been having lunch every week or two
over the last year or more and he continued to
ask me for assistance on some of his cases, just
as I asked him for assistance on my cases. Even
though his body was failing, his mind was sharp
to the end and we often discussed politics and religion. I will miss his friendship and advice as long
as I live,” said Bright.
In a Facebook post over the weekend, Athens
County Common Pleas Judge George McCarthy
remembered Story as a friend and mentor.
“Steve was my friend and mentor for many
years. He was my ﬁrst boss coming out of law
school when he hired me as an assistant county
prosecutor. I learned a lot with him during that
time which I will always appreciate. Anyone who
knew Steve knows he is one of the most genuine of
people and one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.
In all the years I’ve known him, I never ever heard
him have bad words for anyone. He just didn’t have
it in him. He battled with health issues which took
its toll on him. But right up to the end, Steve was
his jovial and fun loving self,” wrote McCarthy.
While many knew Story as an attorney or judge,
he was also an advocate for Meigs County, playing
a big role in several projects.
“Steve was an energetic and passionate advocate
for economic development in the county over the
past 30 years,” said Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe.
U.S. Route 33 between Darwin and Athens was
one such project.
“While many people were involved, it’s fair to
say that the new US 33 in Meigs County would
not be here without Steve’s relentless work in
Columbus to push the project, as well as his ability
to build county coalitions along the 33 corridor
that spoke with one voice for the new highway. He
was both respected and dreaded when he called
upon government ofﬁcials in Columbus because
they knew he was there to advocate for Meigs
County and came with facts, ﬁgures, and sincerity,
and often wouldn’t leave without what he came
for,” stated Varnadoe.
It was Story’s advocacy for the county which
Barr also remembered of his friend and fellow
attorney.
“If it helped the people of Meigs County, Steve
was for it,” said Barr. “We lost a true advocate
who did so much more than practice law.”
“We lost one of the proudest and strongest advocates for Meigs County,” noted Warner.
State Rep. Jay Edwards also took to Facebook to
remember Story.
“One of the nicest guys I knew, Steve Story,
passed away yesterday. Steve was Meigs County
born and raised. He took me under his wing when
I decided to run for ofﬁce and introduced me to
a lot of people around the county. He also would
have me as his guest at the Pomeroy Gun Club.
Everyone thought highly of him. He’s a great
man,” wrote Edwards.
While County Court Judge is a non-partisan
position in Meigs County, Story was remembered
as a strong supporter of the Meigs County Republican Party.
“The Meigs County Republican Party lost a
great friend yesterday with the loss of Judge Steve
Story. Steve wasn’t just a great Republican. He
was a great friend, a mentor to young candidates,
and a son of Meigs County. Join us in prayer for
the family, friends, and staff of Judge Story,” read
a post on the party’s Facebook page.
It was Story’s passion for Meigs County which
was most noted by many.
“He was conscientious of what he was doing
and the impact it would have on the county,” said
Commissioner Randy Smith.
“Steve would often say that it’s amazing how
much can be accomplished when no one cares
about who gets the credit. That was what Steve
was all about,” concluded Varnadoe.

A2 of today’s edition of The Daily Sentinel.

Trump: Winning
at home, winning
on the road
Whatever you think of comedian Bill Maher, you
have to credit him for his apt description of the
Donald Trump presidency: Maher, along with others, is calling it a slow-motion coup.
A coup that, as he asserted several
John
weeks
ago, Donald Trump is winM. Crisp
ning.
Contributing
On his home turf, Trump is
columnist
indeed winning. He’s not a terribly
popular president; his ratings have
languished in the low-40s. But recently they have
leveled out and show signs of rising. And he gets
a very high rate of approval in his own Congresscontrolling party, edging up toward 90 percent.
Establishment Republicans who aren’t enthusiastic about Trump — Sen. Bob Corker, Sen. Jeff
Flake, Rep. Paul Ryan, Sen. John McCain — are
being edged out or marginalized. And primary
elections last week in Virginia and South Carolina
portray the peril of opposing Trump. Moderate
Republicans are being pushed aside in favor of
candidates who vigorously support the president.
It’s not at all preposterous to suggest that
Trump now owns his party.
And he’s put his growing power to use. In the
May 21 issue of the New Yorker, Evan Osnos
describes an extensive, systematic and effective
campaign to nudge out the experienced, nonpartisan civil servants who work in our nation’s
bureaucracies and replace them with Trump loyalists. This often results in inactivity, incompetence
or the ill-considered reversal of policies inherited
from the Obama administration.
And whether you think that’s a good thing or
not, there’s no question that, for Trump, it represents winning.
Trump is winning on the road, as well. The
alienation of our best long-time allies at the G-7
meeting in Canada would be a ﬁasco in ordinary
times, but it inﬂicted no harm to Trump’s support
among his base.
In any case, the G-7 was quickly eclipsed by
the Singapore summit. Even though that summit
accomplished very little, if anything, memories of
the pageantry and the warm glow of diplomacy
should last at least until the midterms.
“So much winning,” as Trump promised during
the campaign.
I am not assuming that you think that all of this
winning is a bad thing. Almost 63 million Americans voted for Trump and many of them are still
deeply committed to him.
Still, many other Americans have misgivings
about Trump that reﬂect the legitimate political
differences that are customary in a healthy twoparty system. How do we confront climate change
(yes, it is, indeed, real) with an administration
that either denies or ignores it? How do we fund
legitimate government enterprises (or at least
keep the debt under reasonable control) when the
essential principle of our governing party is tax
breaks for the rich? How do we deal with the daily
ﬁrearms carnage in our country?
These are tough practical issues, but they’re
unlikely to be resolved as long as Trump is doing
“so much winning.” But my own misgivings are
more philosophical, and they’re embodied in two
related questions:
First, how did we become the country that
thinks that everyone else is out to get us? Even
though we’re clearly the strongest country in the
world and among the most prosperous, somehow
everybody else has been taking tremendous advantage of us for decades.
Second, why have so many of us so casually
relinquished our willingness to think critically
about things that are true and things that are not
true?
The answer to both these questions resides in
Trump’s powerful personality. His life is informed
by a sense of persecution, complaint and grievance. Everything is always someone else’s fault.
And, as his impromptu press conference on the
grounds of the White House last Friday clearly
demonstrates, he is simply wrong about many,
many things.
What should worry us is that these two elements — a real or imagined sense of grievance
and an unwillingness to take a critical attitude
toward facts — are essential to the rise of fascism
and autocracy.
And in our country both of these elements,
along with Donald Trump, appear to be winning.
Oh, and the rise of autocracy at the expense of
democracy requires one more essential element:
complacency.

THEIR VIEW

Get ready for cuts if we don’t fix SS, Medicare
Editorial from The
Philadelphia Inquirer:
When we’re old and
sick and poor, we might
be forced to keep warm
by burning all the government reports that
we ignored, warning us
that Social Security and
Medicare are running
out of money; the latest
such report was issued
recently.
According to the Social
Security Administration,
the Medicare trust fund
will run dry in 2026 and
Social Security funds
in 2034. They will still
be supported by payroll
taxes, but those taxes will
not cover full beneﬁts,
and recipients will likely
experience severe beneﬁt
cuts if the funds aren’t
replenished.
The implications are
dire.
Marketwatch.com put
it best, saying that if the
funds aren’t replenished,
“we will soon be facing
rates of elderly poverty
unseen since the Great

Depression. Of the 18
million workers between
ages 55 and 64 in 2012,
4.3 million were projected
to be poor or near-poor
when they turn 65. That
grows to 20 million in
2035 and 25 million in
2050.”
This isn’t a new warning. But since pensions
are disappearing and
Americans aren’t saving
enough money to cover
their retirements, the
consequences could be
disastrous. The Harvard
Business Review reports:
“Among Americans
between 40 and 45 years
of age, the median retirement account balance is
just $14,500 — less than
4 percent of what the
median-income worker
will require in savings
to meet his retirement
needs.” Increasingly,
retirees are depending
on Social Security in
the absence of pensions,
but also because wages
have not kept pace with
everyday living expenses,

leaving workers less able
to save enough for retirement.
But the situation can
be ﬁxed. In a study based
on 2011 ﬁgures, AARP
proposed a dozen ways
Social Security could be
mended. Of all 12, the
most efﬁcient would be
to lift the cap on income
subject to the Social
Security tax. Right now
people stop paying the
6.2 percent Social Security tax on incomes above
$128,700. That would ﬁll
86 percent of the shortfall. Other suggestions
like raising the retirement
age to 68 would ﬁll 18
percent of the shortfall;
cutting beneﬁts would ﬁll
less than 13 percent of
the gap.
Fixing Medicare,
however, is a lot trickier.
Medicare’s hospital-care
trust fund is sagging, in
part because payroll taxes
were lower than expected
in 2017 and because President Donald Trump’s
changes to the Affordable

Care Act are raising hospital costs. In particular,
his abandonment of the
requirement that people
get insurance or pay a
ﬁne means hospitals are
going to be seeing more
uninsured patients, for
which paying and insured
patients bear the burden.
The administration has
yet to rein in drug costs,
another drain on Medicare, and Republicans
did away with the ACA’s
requirement to reduce
overall Medicare costs
by deriding cost review
boards as “death panels.”
The long cold winter of
retirement will hit us all.
How long and how cold
depends on who takes
leadership now on ﬁxing
these critical systems.
Let’s start with elected
ofﬁcials from aging states
— like Pennsylvania,
where, according to the
U.S. census, the senior
population is growing so
fast that by 2025, more
than 1 in 5 of us will be
65 or older.

county, the state of Ohio,
and the United States of
America,” read a post
on the Meigs County
Firefighter’s Association
Facebook page by Asso­
ciation President Derek
Miller.
The post reads in part,
Bob joined the Middleport Fire Department
and Emergency Squad
in April 1959, after serv­
ing in the United States
Army with a medical
detachment in Germany.
Bob spent 30 years as
a member of the fire
department and emer­
gency squad, was a past
Middleport Fire Chief,
and a life member of the
MFD.
Bob served as the
director/administrator of
the Meigs County Emer­
gency Medical Services
for 18 years, and Meigs
County Emergency Man­
agement Agency for 25
years, serving as both
EMS and EMA Direc­
tor at the same time.
After his retirement as
EMS administrator in
2000, he continued as
EMA Director through
December 2015. As EMA
Director, he applied for,
planned, responded to,
mitigated, and helped
Meigs County recover
from many disasters that
affected Meigs County
citizens and infrastruc­
ture. Bob’s hard work
allowed first responders
to have training oppor­
tunities as well as up
to date communication
equipment that was
desperately needed for
interoperability within
the county. His great­
est accomplishment as
director was chairing the
committee that brought
Meigs County a central­
ized dispatch system for

the county and region.
“The Meigs County
Emergency Management
Agency is extremely
saddened after the loss
of retired Director Rob­
ert E. (Bob) Byer. Bob
was a great man who
devoted his life to serv­
ing the citizens of Meigs
County and the United
States of America. Bob
was a great leader and
mentor to many in the
emergency management,
fire, emergency medical,
and 911 dispatch fields.
Bob will never be forgot­
ten by the people who
knew him. We ask you
keep Bob’s family and
friends in your thoughts
and prayers during these
difficult times,” said cur­
rent EMA Director Jamie
Jones.
In a Facebook post,
Athens County EMS paid
tribute to Byer. “Athens
County EMS is saddened
to learn that retired
Meigs County EMS and
EMA Director Robert
Byer passed away this
weekend. Bob had a long
and storied career in a
variety of public safety
roles.”
In a post on Sunday
evening with photos
of Byer throughout
the years, the Middle­
port Fire Department
announced the passing of
“Unit 101” former Chief
and life member of the
department Byer.
“Today Meigs County
lost a great man. Rob­
ert “Bob” Byer was the
director of Meigs EMS
for many years and
made it one of the most
respected systems in
the state. He also done
so much for the county
as the EMA director
in securing whatever
was needed to prepare
or repair after natural
disasters. Our thoughts
and prayers for his fam­
ily. RIP Bob you’ll be
missed,” read a post from

EMS and Fire.
As a result of his life­
time service to Meigs
County, and writing
the grant for the new
Emergency Operations
Center on Pomeroy Pike,
the Meigs County Com­
missioners named the
new EMS/EMA build­
ing the “Robert E. Byer
Emergency Operations
Center. ”
Bob’s other local
service included being
the chairperson of the
Meigs County Local
Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC). For
several years, Bob singlehandedly ran the Meigs
County Firefighter’s
Association. He lined up
the guest speakers, bal­
anced the checkbook, and
distributed information
to the 12 Meigs County
Fire Departments. If
not for Bob pushing the
Firefighter’s Associa­
tion throughout the lean
years, we would not be
the strong association we
are today. He was also
named Honorary Dean of
the 2015 Hocking Valley
Regional Fire School.
Other accomplish­
ments include a term
as President of the
Ohio Emergency Medi­
cal Association, and a
founding member of the
Ohio EMS Board.
The Meigs County
Firefighter’s Association
passes along our condo­
lences to Bob’s family,
friends, past co-workers,
and members of the Mid­
dleport Fire Department.
We extend our prayers
to each and every one of
you.
Bob’s legacy of service
and professionalism will
be missed, but never for­
gotten.

the Syracuse Volunteer
Fire Department.
While Byer spent his
career in emergency
services, he was active
in American Legion
Post 128 of Middleport,
Middleport Lodge 363
and other organizations
in the county.
Byer was elected last
year as Post 128 Com­
mander, having previ­
ously served as Sergeantin-Arms.
“He barely missed any
funerals, Veterans Day
events, Memorial Day
events or other activi­
ties of the Legion,” said
Legion member Roscoe
Wise, a long time friend
of Byer’s.
“Bob was instrumen­
tal in everything at the
Legion,” said Wise,
noting that Byer could
often be found running
the kitchen on Saturday
evenings as the Legion
hosted Bingo.
Byer was recognized
over the years as Legion­
naire of the Year and
Legionnaire of the
Decade at Post 128.
“We will deeply
miss him; he is already
missed,” said Wise. Byer
was always one to work

with the other local
legions or organizations
which may have needed
assistance, he added.
“Bob wasn’t just a
great public servant but
he was a great man, men­
tor, and son of Meigs
County. We lift his family
and our community up
in prayer,” said Commis­
sioner Randy Smith.
“He encouraged people
like they were his own
children, whether in
Lodge, in the church, or
public service,” added
Smith. “He is what you
think of as a patriarch of
a family. He had pride for
his children and grand­
children.”
Don Stivers of Middle­
port recalled the numer­
ous roles Byer played
over the years and the
organizations he was
involved in.
“He was the fire chief
when I came on (the
Middelport Fire Depart­
ment) in 1975.1 was
a young pup, 19 years
old, couldn’t wait...Bob
took me under his wing.
When he was the EMS
administrator I was a
paramedic.He took EMS
and built it into a really
good system. We were

intertwined for many
years,” said Stivers. “He
brought us all together
and made us all better.”
When Stivers joined
the Middleport Lodge,
Byer was once again
there.
“He always did the
right thing, the fair
thing. Whatever orga­
nization he joined, he
gave 100 percent,” said
Stivers.
“There are very few
like Bob. He is who you
strive to be,” said Sti­
vers.
“The world was a
much, much better
place with him in it. He
is going to be sorely
missed,” said Stivers.

Mexico beats defending champion Germany 1-0
MOSCOW (AP) —
Defending World Cup
champions have been
ﬁnding it hard to get out
of the group stage lately,
and Germany is proving
no exception.
The 2014 champions,
ranked No. 1 in the world,
were exposed defensively
and surprisingly beaten
by Mexico 1-0 on Sunday, putting its hopes of
advancement in doubt.
Well, not everyone is in
doubt.
“We will make it,”
Germany coach Joachim
Loew said. “There’s
no reason to fall apart
because you lose one
game.”
Hirving Lozano scored
the lone goal in the 35th
minute, picking up Javier

teammates and I did
some great work. We all
ran our hearts out. This
is the result of all that
hard work.”
Three of the previous
four defending World Cup
champions failed to reach
the knockout stages,
France, Italy and Spain.
Two of them lost their
opening matches while
the Italians had to settle
for a draw.

Lozano, a 22-yearold forward nicknamed
“Chucky,” got Mexico
going with a deﬂected
shot over the bar in the
ﬁrst minute. That set
the tone for Mexico to
torment Germany on
the counterattack, with
Lozano taking full advantage of right back Joshua
Kimmich’s tendency to go
forward.
“We were nervous and
we weren’t playing the
game we wanted to play,”

Loew said. “We need to
see what caused this.”
After Lozano’s goal,
Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa pulled off a
spectacular save to keep
the score even, palming
Toni Kroos’ shot onto the
crossbar.
With key players tiring in the second half,
Mexico pulled back and
substituted both Lozano
and Carlos Vela. Germany
then dominated but when

was poor.

Tough course or
easy, Brooks Koepka
repeats at US Open
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Brooks Koepka
has the game to win a U.S. Open on any course.
One year after Koepka overpowered the wide
fairways of Erin Hills in a U.S. Open remembered
for low scoring, he navigated his way through the
brutal conditions of Shinnecock Hills and closed
with a 2-under 68 to become the ﬁrst repeat champion in 29 years.
Curtis Strange, the last player to go back-to-back
in this major, watched the entire ﬁnal round Sunday as the Fox Sports reporter on the ground, and
they shared a brief hug off the 18th green after
Koepka tapped in for bogey and a one-shot victory.
“Man, it feels good to hold this thing again,”
Koepka said with the silver trophy in his arms.
His victory Sunday might not have been possible if not for grinding out a 72 on Saturday in
conditions so severe the last 45 players to tee off
in the third round didn’t break par. The USGA
conceded the course was over the top and pledged
to give it more water and slow it down.
Bogeys gave way to birdies, and no one took
advantage like Tommy Fleetwood of England. He
made eight birdies — none on the two par 5s —
and missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the ﬁnal hole
for a 63, only the sixth player in U.S. Open history
to go that low.
“Yeah, but I wanted a 62,” said Fleetwood, who
ﬁnished one shot back and had to settle for the
silver medal.
Fleetwood was one shot behind when he ﬁnished, and Koepka still had 11 holes to play as
Shinnecock Hills began to get crisp under another
sunny sky.
Koepka never lost the lead.
With a putting performance and calm demeanor
reminiscent of Retief Goosen when he won the
previous U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, in 2004,
the 28-year-old Koepka began the back nine with
three pivotal putts — one for birdie, one for bogey,
one for par.
The biggest might have been his bogey on the
nasty little par-3 11th.
Koepka pulled it to the left, down the slope and
into thick grass. He chopped that up the slope
with so much speed that it raced across the green
and into the bunker. He blasted that out to 8 feet
and made the putt to keep his lead at one shot.
“I think that was like making a birdie, maybe
even making an eagle,” he said. “Because it could
have been a big momentum shift there, and we
could have been playing tennis just going back and
forth. To make bogey there was pretty incredible
and I think kind of the reason why we won.”
He wasn’t through. He hacked out of the hay
over the green at No. 12, pitched beautifully to
7 feet and made the par. Two holes later, after
another drive into grass so thick he wasn’t sure
he could get it out, Koepka rolled in an 8-foot for
another par save.
Koepka seized control with a wedge to 3½ feet
for birdie on the par-5 16th for a two-shot lead,
and he never ﬂinched until it no longer mattered.
Koepka pulled his approach to the 18th off the
grandstand, pitched on to about 12 feet and twoputted for a bogey.
He ﬁnished at 1-over 281, 13 shots higher than
his winning score at Erin Hills last year. It was the
ﬁrst time since 2013 at Merion that no one broke
par in the U.S. Open.
“I enjoy the test,” Koepka said. “I enjoy being
pushed to the limit. Sometimes you feel like you
are about to break mentally, but that’s what I
enjoy. I enjoy hard golf courses. I enjoy playing
about the toughest in golf you are ever going to
play.”
That it was, starting on Thursday, and especially
on Saturday.

Ohio wins BACF football classic, 47-13
Aaron Turner represents Big Blacks
for Mountaineer State all-stars
By Scott Jones
sjones@aimmediamidwest.com

ST. MARYS, W. Va. —
Despite a team setback,
a ﬁnal game under the
lights proved huge for
one Big Blacks player.
Recent Point Pleasant
graduate Aaron Turner
had one last appearance
on the gridiron on Friday
night, as he represented
PPHS in the 25th annual
Battle Against Cystic
Fibrosis All-Star Classic
in a at Bill Hanlin Stadium in Pleasants County.
Turner — who ﬁnished with 28 yards on
two catches, including a
touchdown, and a sack
on the defensive side —
made the most of the
opportunity, as he was
named the West Virginia
all-stars Most Valuable
Player in a 47-13 setback
to the Ohio all-stars football team.
Following the contest,
Turner — the ﬁrst PPHS
player to win an MVP
award in a the B.A.C.F.
football game — spoke
about the experience.
“Being able to come
out and play one ﬁnal
time means a lot,” Turner said. “It’s too bad we
didn’t win, but all-in-all it
was fun. It feels good to
represent Point Pleasant.
Winning the MVP is an
honor. I just played my
game and tried my hardest.”
Ohio — coached by
River’s Mike Flannery —

struggles at the plate. The Cincinnati Reds centerﬁelder has tried
to stay positive even as his average and his spot in the batting
order dropped at an alarming
rate, trying to focus on being a
more complete player until his
swing returned.
For the ﬁrst time in a while —
far too long for Hamilton’s liking
— everything that makes him so
effective was on full display Sunday against Pittsburgh. Hamilton
went 3 for 4, stole two bases,
scored three times and made a
pair of vital defensive plays as the
Reds held on for an 8-6 victory on
Sunday.
Hamilton started the day with a
diving grab on the warning track
in right-center to rob Pittsburgh’s
Francisco Cervelli of extra bases
in the ﬁrst. He ended it by starting the sequence that cut down
the potential game-tying run at
the plate in the eighth then trotting home in the ninth after Scott
Schebler’s two-run shot gave
Cincinnati a little extra breathing
room.
“Oh my goodness, that’s the
best part (is the hitting),” Hamilton said after boosting his average .197. “I ain’t worried about
the catch. The catch is good, but
I’m just worried about what I did
at the plate. Especially for me,
I’ve been struggling, man. Just to
have one of these days, it gives
you a bunch of conﬁdence and

Ohio tacked on its

Schebler added three RBIs for
Cincinnati, which won for just the
second time in seven tries at PNC
Park this season.
Anthony DeSclafani (2-1) surrendered solo home runs to Colin
Moran and Gregory Polanco but
otherwise kept the Pirates in
check to pick up his second victory since his return after missing
the entire 2017 season with right
elbow issues. DeSclafani struck
out four against three hits and
a strikeout in 5 2/3 innings and
more than once caught himself
marveling at Hamilton.
“It’s unbelievable what he can
do out there, man,” DeSclafani
said. “He saves pitchers all the
time and he’s just fun to watch out
there. It’s like video game stuff.
It’s unbelievable.”
Raisel Iglesias allowed an
inherited runner to score in the
eighth and an RBI-single to Austin Meadows in the ninth but
managed to record the ﬁnal four
outs for his 10th save, receiving a
bit of help in the process. Iglesias
entered with two on and two outs
in the eighth and immediately surrendered a double in the gap to
Polanco.

The visitors also outgained West Virginia

which included a 258102 advantage in rushing yards.
Ohio — which rushed
48 times for 258 yards
— was led by Miller
who produced 87 yards
on 15 carries. Reams

on ﬁve attempts, while
LaFollette followed with

Hamilton raced to the ball and
quickly got it to shortstop Jose
Peraza, who ﬁred a strike to
home.
The call stood upon review
after the Pirates challenged Cincinnati catcher Curt Casali may
have illegally blocked the plate.
“I was just thinking head-ﬁrst

just too late for me to redirect or
think anything else at that point,”
Bell said, who added he thought
Casali “100 percent” gave him a
lane to slide.
The Reds were off Monday and
host Detroit in a brief two-game
interleague series starting Tuesday when Sal Romano (3-7, 5.67
ERA) faces Matthew Boyd (4-4,
3.23).

Slump busted?
Like Hamilton, Polanco has
been mired in an extended slump.
The Pirates moved him to seventh
in the lineup and there are signs
he’s on the verge of snapping out
of it after going 3 for 3, including
his ninth home run of the season.
“Right now I am not thinking
about anything, just seeing the
ball and hit it,” Polanco said after
boosting his average to .211.
“Because my swing the last couple
days has been good. I’m not thinking now, I’m just swinging now.
And when you’re not thinking
your swing is good. So you just
want to continue to keep seeing
the pitches that you want to hit.”

56 yards on 18 carries.
Rejonis added 22
yards rushing on three
attempts, while Shenandoah’s Clint Wikander
provided 22 yards on
two carries. Waterford’s
Teddy Smith was next
with eight yards on two
carries, while Moss
provided three yard on
three attempts.
LaFollette ﬁnished
with 3-of-7 passing for
124 yards, with Rejonis leading the way in
receiving with one catch
for 47 yards. Reams
followed with one grab
for 46 yard, while Cole
Hinerman, of River, had
one catch for 31 yards.
Jaiden Smith led the

Mace also completed
11-of-27 passing for 153
yards, throwing one
touchdown and three
interceptions. Parkersburg’s Seth Dailey led
the hosts’ receiving
corps with ﬁve catches
for 85 yards.
Ohio has now defeated West Virginia in

World Cup win kicks off celebration
MOSCOW (AP) —
When the ﬁnal whistle
blew, Mexico midﬁelder
Miguel Layun sank to
his hands and knees
on the turf and was
embraced by his shirtless teammate Carlos
Salcedo.
If Layun was overwhelmed by his team’s
1-0 victory over defending World Cup champion
Germany, his coach
wasn’t. Neither were the
sombrero-clad Mexican
fans who seemed to be
partying nonstop on the
streets of Moscow in the
days leading up to Sunday’s match.
In the second half,
they conﬁdently chanted
“Mexico, Mexico,” and
“Ole, Ole, Ole” when
their team had the ball,
which was far less than
half the time as Mexico
sat back defending and
weathered a furious German comeback bid.
The ﬁrst half proved
decisive. Coach Juan
Carlos Osorio, who
called it a “milestone”
win, said his team exe-

Mexico soccer fans celebrate their team victory against Germany after their group F match at the
2018 soccer World Cup on Sunday in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia.

cuted his game plan to
near perfection.
“In the ﬁrst half we
managed to play defensively with a great deal
of intelligence. We could
have scored much earlier,” Osorio said. “With
all respect, I think in the
ﬁrst half of the match
that we were the superior team.”
Mexico is hoping
to end a streak of six

straight World Cups
where it has lost in the
round of 16, and in a bid
to end that streak Osorio
added a mental coach to
his staff in 2016. He has
tinkered with his lineups
constantly. But his plan
for attacking Germany
by relying on his wingers’ speed didn’t change.
It was one of those
quick-strike artists,
Hirving Lozano, who

scored the lone goal,
taking advantage of the
room Germany and right
back Joshua Kimmich
gave him to run.
“We had drawn up a
plan six months back or
so. Due to injuries, we
had to change some of
our protagonists, but we
always thought of having
two fast players on the
wing,” Osorio said. “We
chose Hirving, who is

Parziale ties for low amateur with dad on bag
SOUTHAMPTON,
N.Y. (AP) — Leaning on
his club, Matt Parziale
crossed one leg over the
other and placed the
free hand on his hip.
His caddie mirrored his
position and used Parziale’s bag as his source
of support. The two
looked almost identical,
just one older than the
other.
Being related will do
that.
Parziale’s dad, Vic
Parziale, has been with
his son throughout his
entire U.S. Open journey, starting Monday
and ending on Father’s
Day. Matt ﬁnished 5
over par Sunday to tie
for low amateur at 16
over for the tournament.
“We do stand alike
out there,” Vic said. “It’s
funny.”

Said Matt: “I don’t
like it, but that’s how life
goes.”
He’s kidding. The idea
of turning into his dad
doesn’t scare him.
“He’s the best guy I
know,” Matt said. “If I
can be half that good, I’ll
be doing all right.”
It’s a classic like
father, like son relationship.
Matt, 31, is a full-time
ﬁreﬁghter in Brockton,
Massachusetts. Vic
retired from the same
station last year after 32
years.
The two also share a
love for golf.
“He stinks now,” Matt
said. “I’d have to play
pretty bad to let him
win. He used to be much
better than he is now.”
Matt says he was 14
the ﬁrst time he beat
his dad. Vic says his son

was 15. Either way, once
Matt beat Vic’s 73 by a
stroke as a teenager, it
was game over.
Vic never beat his son
again.
“Golf skipped a generation for sure,” Vic
said. “Because I don’t
play like him.”
As the ﬁrst mid-amateur to make a cut at the
U.S. Open in 15 years,
Matt’s second round was
his best, carding a 73
with a birdie on No. 18
that guaranteed him a
spot in the ﬁnal rounds.
On the last day, Matt
shot a 75 to end up at
296, the same mark fellow amateur Luis Gagne
scored. Will Grimmer
was the only other amateur to make the cut,
and he ﬁnished 23 over
at 303. The tournament
started with 20 amateurs.

This was Matt’s ﬁrst
U.S. Open. He played at
the Masters earlier this
year but did not make
the cut. Vic was his caddie there, too.
“Mostly, I just carry
the bag and keep my
mouth shut,” Vic said.
His specialty is wind:
Matt does go to his
dad for advice there. It
helped this week.
“I don’t get paid,” Vic
said. “I don’t want to
be, of course. I just love
doing it.”
The two have worked
alongside each other
for as long as either
can remember. After
college at Southeastern
University in Lakeland,
Florida, Matt turned pro
but called it quits after
a couple years when it
didn’t pay off ﬁnancially.
That’s when he became
a ﬁreﬁghter.

Vikings to induct former coach
Dennis Green in Ring of Honor
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings will induct former head coach
Dennis Green into their Ring of Honor this season.
The Vikings announced Monday they’ll hold a halftime ceremony with Green’s
family during their Sept. 23 game against Buffalo. Green died at age 67 in 2016.
His record over 10 seasons was 101-70, including eight trips to the playoffs.
Only Bud Grant has more wins in franchise history. The Vikings won four division
titles and reached the NFC championship game twice under his guidance, setting
what was then the NFL single-season scoring record with 556 points in 1998.
Green was also credited with initiating a culture of regular community service
by players on their Tuesdays off from practice during the season.

But I know what I want from one.
Sure, I want a great doctor. But I need more than that. Someone
whose schedule can accommodate my busy schedule. I want a
doctor who can relate to how I feel and who is a good listener...
because she has experience in treating those same health issues.
I want a doctor who knows the healthcare system and can get me
to the people I need when I need them. Top-level specialists...
first-rate technicians...and savvy insurance experts that can get
me through the paperwork. I guess what I really want is an experienced doctor with a great support team behind her. That’s
what I’ve been holding out for. Now I know where to find her.
