Classics is indeed classic, with great breakfasts and friendly owners. We savored sitting at the long counter on the red and silver stools, looking at the three-pronged milkshake mixer in the background, dreaming about the orangesicle milkshakes featured on the menu board. Assortments of old movie pictures were hanging on the walls. A poster of Dr. Zhivago and a picture of actor Anthony Quinn particularly captured our attention. We remembered reading that Quinn lost his young son when the boy wandered onto a Hollywood neighbor’s ﬁshpond and drowned. Quinn was never able to talk about his son’s death. When asked about it, he would only say Christopher had moved to San Francisco. It was the only way he could deal with the death of his son, he said. The diner, and Quinn’s method of dealing with his son’s death, reminded us of another story, in another diner, at another time. We were sitting in the Pat Haley Lincoln Diner in Gettysburg, PennsylContributing vania, when a middle-aged waitress, columnist Wanda, was just getting off work. We had had a nice conversation with her a few minutes earlier, but were surprised when she sat down on one of the stools beside us. Wanda looked like a woman with a story to tell. She put down the book she had been reading. “Did I ever tell you about my two long-time customers who used to sit over by that window?” she asked. “No, you never did,” I replied. She cleared her throat and told us this story: Edgar and Louis had come to the Lincoln Diner for breakfast every morning. They always sat at the same table, ordered the same meal, and told the same jokes for the past 37 years. The two 80-yearold men were very close, and knew each other’s deepest secrets. They were a two-man breakfast club. They loved to talk, and did so for hours, before one of them inevitably stood up and announced, “I need to see a man about a horse.” Then they quietly walked out the door together. Wanda said she had been their only waitress for two decades at their table by the window, and she came to know them well and cherished them. Edgar had owned two tire stores in town for many years. He eventually sold them with plans to retire to the warm sands of Myrtle Beach. His plans for the good life were abandoned when his dear wife, Elizabeth, died unexpectedly just months after selling the stores. “Well, Louis, if we want to make God laugh, tell Him about your plans,” Edgar said to his friend without a trace of bitterness. His new reality was to remain in the comfortable home in Gettysburg, where he had lived with Elizabeth for the past 49 years. Louis had been the best mechanic in town before he retired a few years after Edgar. He was a life-long bachelor. One of Louis’ few pleasures in life was his daily breakfast with his friend Edgar. One morning, Wanda swung open the kitchen doors, balancing two glasses of water on a small tray, and then stopped. She saw Louis sitting alone at the table. “Where is Edgar?’ Wanda asked. “He’s gone. He won’t be here today or ever again,” Louis said. Wanda became weak-kneed. Then, she did something she had never done before. She sat down at that table. “He’s gone? Edgar’s gone?” “Yes, last Friday about a quarter ‘til eight.” Wanda didn’t know what to say. “I can’t believe he’s gone.” “Gone to Georgia. He boarded a train last Friday night at 7:45,” Louis said. “Edgar got married and headed off to Atlanta. He met a woman on the internet and fell in love.” Wanda ﬁnally caught her breath. Louis walked out, and Wanda was left standing at the register with Dave, the manager. “Did you hear about Edgar?” Wanda asked. “I sure did,” Dave answered. “He got married and moved to Georgia. Can you believe it?” Wanda asked. “He didn’t get married!” Dave said, looking at her abruptly. “He died last Friday about 7:45. It was in the newspaper.” The story rattled inside my head most of the way back to Wilmington. It seemed familiar somehow. When we arrived home, I pulled one of my favorite books, “Half and Half”, from our library. On page 38 was the exact same story Wanda had told us in Gettysburg. To this day, we don’t know if the story Wanda had shared with us about Edgar and Louis was true or not. She may have just been a gifted storyteller who happened along that day after reading a good book. But now you understand why we love diners.

THEIR VIEW We’re lost without a moral compass I had gone for a walk in the woods but soon was lost. “This is odd,” I thought to myself, “I know these woods like the back of my hand.” I heard leaves crackling behind me and soon was joined by another man. “Lost?” he inquired. “Come walk with me.” “Why are you walking?” he asked. I confessed that I was just trying to get away from all the vexing chatter about our political problems. “It gives me a headache,” I said, “and I fear it’s only deepening our divide.” The man smiled and nodded his head. Worried that this stranger was only getting us more lost, I asked him if he knew where he was going. “Oh yes,” he replied. “I have a compass.” died there.” “Well, which “And this is way is north?” I Helen McCloskey. asked, a bit suspiShe died when hit cious about his by a stray bullet claim. while binding up “Oh, I don’t the wounds of a know,” he replied. soldier — from the “My compass only James other side — on points upward.

He will point you in the right direction. But you have to keep in touch with him.” We soon came to a clearing, and I could even see our house in the distance. I turned to thank the man, my new friend, for guiding me home. But he was gone. James F. Burns is a native of Cincinnati and a retired professor at the University of Florida.

Trump sponsor of the resolution, on a Associated Press call with reporters. “There is no emergency at the border.” Trump’s declaration of a national emergency gives him access to about $3.6 billion in funding for military construction projects to divert to border fencing. But the administration is more likely to tap funding from a federal asset forfeiture fund and Defense Department anti-drug efforts ﬁrst. Trump’s edict is also being challenged in the federal courts, where a host of Democratic-led states such as California are among those that have sued to overturn Trump’s order. The House may also join in. Pelosi said the House measure would “reassert our system of checks and balances.” For Democrats, the vote is another chance to challenge Trump over funding for a border wall, the issue that was central to the 35-day government shutdown. It also puts some Republicans from swing districts and states in a difﬁcult spot, as many have expressed misgivings about Trump’s action despite their support for his border security agenda. Should the House and the Senate initially approve the measure, Congress seems unlikely to muster the twothirds majorities in each chamber that would be needed later to override a Trump veto. The measure to block Trump’s edict will be closely watched in the Senate, where moderates such as Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., have signaled they would back it. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is only a reluctant supporter of Trump on the topic. Trump’s GOP allies promised they would uphold any veto denying Democrats the two-thirds votes required to overcome one. “Democrats’ angst over Congress’ power of the purse is unwarranted, especially since the commander in chief’s authority to redirect military funds for a national emergency is afﬁrmed in a law passed by their own branch,” said top House Judiciary Committee Republican Doug Collins of Georgia.

The exhibit is produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in collaboration with NASA. “We would like to hopefully continue doing exhibits like this,” said Saunders. “We felt that Bodies Revealed was a new and exciting thing for our patrons and we offered entrance free to the public. The public supports us with their tax dollars and we want to give them something they might not normally get to see. These kinds of exhibits in other places might be a long drive or expensive admission. We think this will be a big draw to Gallia for the tri-state area, both for education and fun.” In September 2016, Bossard was the ﬁrst library in the world to feature the Bodies Revealed exhibit, which showcases real human bodies preserved through a process that allows visitors to see both organs and bodies with tissue in the open. The exhibition drew thousands to Gallia County, some of those being medical professionals, students and curious members of the public.

Lady Marauders fall to Washington, 60-49 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com LONDONDERRY, Ohio — The Lady Marauders’ ﬁrst trip to districts in nearly two decades didn’t quite go as planned. The third-seeded Meigs girls basketball team — playing in the round of 64 for the ﬁrst time since 2000 — never led and dropped a 60-49 decision to No. 2 seed Washington Court House in the Division II district semiﬁnal on Thursday inside Southeastern High School’s Larry Jordan Gymnasium. Meigs (15-9) — which had won ﬁve games in a row — tied the score at 2-all, 1:35 into play, but surrendered the next 11 points. The Lady Marauders ended the spurt with a two-pointer, but Washington (19-5) closed the period with an 8-to-2 run for a 21-6 lead. After coming up empty on all-7 three-point attempts in the opening quarter, the Maroon and Gold dialed long distance twice as part of a 10-to-4 run to start the second period. Meigs made one more triple in the quarter, but was held scoreless otherwise, and the Lady Blue Lions headed into half with a 31-19 lead. The Lady Marauders started the second half with back-to-back triples, cutting the WHS advantage to 31-25 with 6:40 left in the third. After back-to-back buckets by the Blue and White, Meigs went on an 8-0 run and trailed by just two points, at 35-33, with 1:40 left in the third. The Lady Blue Lions scored the ﬁnal seven points of the period, however, and headed into the fourth with a 42-33 edge. Meigs claimed eight of the ﬁrst 11 points in the fourth quarter, and trailed by four points, at 45-41, with 5:49 to play. Washington answered with an 8-0 run, however, making the margin 53-41 with three minutes remaining. The WHS lead never dipped into single digits in the ﬁnal three minutes, as the Lady Blue Lions sealed the 60-49 win. Following the seasonending setback, third year MHS head coach Jarrod Kasun acknowledged his team’s slow start, and commended its will to ﬁght back. “Our kids never gave up,” Kasun said. “In the ﬁrst half, we put ourselves behind the eight ball. In the second half, we came up, cut it to six, cut it to four, we’d play with good energy, and then there’d be a play where we didn’t get Photos by Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Meigs freshman Mallory Hawley (32) goes for a layup, during the Lady Marauders’ 60-49 setback to Washington in the D-2 district semifinal on Thursday in Londonderry, Ohio.

They had a kid come off the bench and hit a couple big shots. We couldn’t tie the game, we couldn’t get the lead, the start was just awful and it killed us.” Meigs connected on 16-of-48 (33.3 percent) ﬁeld goal attempts, including 11-of-32 (34.5 percent) three-point tries, while Washington was 20-of-57 (35.1 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 2-of-8 (25 percent) from deep. At the foul line, MHS was 6-of-8 (75 percent) and WHS was 18-of-23 (78.3 percent). The Blue and White won the rebounding battle by a 40-to-25 count, including 15-to-4 on the offensive end. The Lady Blue Lions also claimed the turnover category, committing 13 and forcing 17. Collectively, the Lady Marauders earned 13 assists, six blocked shots and ﬁve steals, while WHS had team totals of 14 assists, nine steals and four rejections. Kassidy Betzing led the Maroon and Gold with 15 points, including nine from beyond the arc, to go with six rebounds and four assists. Becca Pullins and Marissa Noble ﬁnished with nine points each, with both players making a trio of three-pointers. Madison Fields and Mallory Hawley rounded out the MHS scoring with eight points apiece, with Fields making two triples and dishing out four assists. Hawley led the Lady Marauder defense with four blocks and a trio of steals, while Taylor Swartz pulled in a team-best seven rebounds. Hannah Haithcock led the victors with a doubledouble of 22 points and 12 rebounds, scoring half of her points in the ﬁrst four minutes of play. Rayana Burns also had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, to go with a game-high seven assists. Next for WHS was Tabby Woods was next with seven points, followed by Shawna Conger with six, Halli Wall with ﬁve, Bre Taylor with four, and Kassady Hines with two. Taylor led the Washington defense with three steals, while Burns came up with three blocks and two steals. Washington will be back at Larry Jordan Gymnasium to face topseeded Vinton County in the district ﬁnal on Thursday. For Meigs, the setback means the end of the road for its seven seniors, Kassidy Betzing, Madison Fields, Marissa Noble, Becca Pullins, Taylor Swartz, Alyssa Smith and Kylee Blanks. Over the last four seasons, MHS has amassed 48 victories, with double-digit wins each campaign. Coach Kasun talked about what the seniors have meant to the program, as well as what’s next for the Lady Marauders. “We started something here that I hope we can keep going,” Kasun said. “The seven seniors have really, really went through a lot. It was a different culture and that’s what we wanted. We came out and played hard, we practiced hard and I’m really proud of them, they’re going to go on to bigger and better things. You know, ﬁve of those seven are National Honor Society kids. They’re going to be successful, all of them, I can’t say enough about them. “Of course Mallory (Hawley) is really going to have to step up. We have some solid jay-vee players, they just need somebody to handle the ball, and Mallory’s going to have to be that person. We have a solid junior high program, and we’re going to have to work in the summer. We had that talk in the locker room after this game, you have to put your time in, and it’s not when basketball season starts.” In addition to breaking an 18-year sectional title drought this winter, Meigs also ended its streak of nine consecutive seasons with doubledigit losses.

Senior Braxton Hardy converted his only points of the second half on a layup with seven seconds left in regulation, allowing the South Gallia boys basketball team to rally for a 56-55 victory over 10th-seeded Miller in a Division IV sectional semiﬁnal contest at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium inside Meigs High School. Hardy — who ﬁnished the evening with just ﬁve points — hit a twisting layup after driving down the middle of the lane for a one-point edge, and that margin eventually held up in the closing moments. The Falcons (1-22) launched a potential game-winning 3-pointer from the right corner as time expired, but the shot ultimately missed its mark — allowing the seventh-seeded Rebels (14-9) to move on to the sectional ﬁnal. SGHS will face second-seeded Trimble in the D-4 sectional championship matchup at MHS on Wednesday, Feb. 27. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. The Red and Gold started well as the hosts scored the ﬁrst 15 points of regulation while building a 25-13 advantage through eight minutes of play, but the Falcons started climbing back on the shoulders of Colby Bartley. Bartley poured in eight points as part of a 17-14 second period Bryan Walters|OVP Sports South Gallia senior Braxton Hardy (1) drives to the basket during the first half of a Feb.5 boys basketball contest against Southern in Mercerville, Ohio. spurt that resulted in a 39-30 contest at the break, then Bartley tacked on another 10 markers in the third — including his 1,000th career point — during a 12-4 charge that trimmed the deﬁcit down to 43-42 entering the ﬁnale. Miller used an 11-7 run out of the fourth quarter gates and built a 53-50 advantage following a pair of Bartley free throws with 3:41 left in regulation, but SGHS countered with a small 4-2 run over the next three-plus minutes to whittle the deﬁcit down to a single point at 55-54. South Gallia now has consecutive opening round postseason victories under second-year coach Kent Wolfe, who defeated Eastern 57-55 in last year’s sectional semiﬁnal round. It’s also a sectional championship rematch for the Rebels, who were eliminated by the Tomcats last winter by a 71-58 count. SGHS made 22 total ﬁeld goals — including three trifectas — and also went 9-of-12 from the free throw line for 75 percent. Eli Ellis led the Rebels with 14 points, with 13 of those coming before halftime. C.J. Mayse was next with 13 points, while Garrett Saunders followed with 11 markers — all of which came in the ﬁrst canto. Nick Hicks was next with six points, with Hardy and Kyle Northup respectively adding ﬁve and four points. Jared Burdette completed the winning tally with three markers. Miller made 20 total ﬁeld goals — including seven 3-pointers — and also went 8-of-16 at the free throw line for 50 percent. Bartley led the Falcons with a game-high 27 points, followed by Blayton Cox with 11 points. Kylan McClain, Tre McCoy and Drew Starlin were next with ﬁve markers each, while Steven Willison completed the scoring with two points. The Rebels — who defeated Miller by 17 points and 16 points during the regular season — are aiming for their ﬁrst sectional title since the 2015-16 campaign.

(AP) — Players’ union head Tony Clark says Adam Wainwright’s comments about a possible strike were in line with widespread concern he hears from his members about a free-agent market they claim has become dysfunctional. Starting his tour of spring training camps, Clark said he isn’t drawing conclusions about the market based on Manny Machado’s $300 million, 10-year contract with the San Diego Padres, which would be the secondhighest contract in baseball history. Bryce Harper, Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel are among dozens of free agents still looking for a deal. “We’re glad Manny found a home. We’re curious as to why it took as long as it did,” Clark said Thursday. “And we’re also still concerned about the players that are out there that their phone isn’t ringing and that they haven’t had an opportunity and camps are opened up and the season’s opened up and we’re in a position where fans and players alike are asking ‘Where are we held up and what’s going on?’” The former All-Star ﬁrst baseman, who will visit all 30 teams, said the union has heard from players who have been contacted by multiple teams in a small window of time after going a long period without hearing from any clubs. “The idea that there is radio silence for as long as it is and then suddenly the phone rings, all in on one day and that rings from multiple teams, is something we’re interested in looking into,” Clark said. Major league front ofﬁces are using analytics and models to determine the worth of free agents more than ever before, but that hasn’t stopped some of baseball’s biggest names from criticizing the decision-making process that left some players out in the cold at the start of spring training. Washington ace Max Scherzer said there are too many teams trying not to win, and all the rebuilding “poisons the game.” Houston righthander Justin Verlander thinks the current economic approach pursued by some teams will continue to drive away fans.

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — NASCAR rolled into Atlanta Motor Speedway ready to begin a new era of racing that is shrouded in unknowns. Will it be racier? That’s the point. Will it make Sunday’s event at Atlanta exciting? That remains to be seen. “We don’t have that answer. I can tell you that it will be drastically different than what we have done before,” said Kevin Harvick, who routed the ﬁeld to win last year’s race. “I would hate to speculate on what the direction of it is going to be and what we are going to do because we don’t know. That is good for everyone watching. We have more questions with zero answers, actually.” The competition package for 2019 was not used in last week’s season-opening Daytona 500 and a version of it will debut Sunday on Atlanta’s abrasive 1.54-mile quad oval. The lower-horsepower, high-downforce and high-drag formula is designed to slow the cars, bunch them together and create a more entertaining product. But Atlanta is an anomaly in that its racing surface is one of the oldest in the series and was last repaved in 1997. It is rough and bumpy, quickly eats away at tires and is typically a handful even for the veterans. In simplest terms, Sunday’s race may look nothing like how the package races the rest of the season. “This track is unlike any other track, as we all know, with the sur- face and bumps and the character,” said Jimmie Johnson, who leads all active drivers with ﬁve previous wins at Atlanta. “My focus has been to get drivability right and then make speed a secondary item. We’ll see how it all plays out. This package is so new to all of us.” An early version of the package was used in last year’s All-Star race to rave reviews from fans that prompted NASCAR to implement it for this season. Roughly half the ﬁeld tested the package last month at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where NASCAR races next week, and the venue that is expected to be a truer indicator of what the competition might look like the rest of the season. It’s made Atlanta a mystery as teams spent Friday trying to ﬁgure out how to attack the track with this competition package. “Sunday you will ﬁnd out, I guess, if somebody spanks the ﬁeld,” said Atlanta native Chase Elliott. “Until then, I am really not sure what we are going to have. I’m sure there is going to be guys that get it better than others to start, but I think as time goes, everybody is going to continue to develop and make it better and improve their cars and their packages for these race tracks. “I think Atlanta, too, is a little different than some other mile-and-ahalf tracks we are going to visit with the surface. I think your car is probably going to have to drive a little better here than it might at other places.” �SPORTS 4B Sunday, February 24, 2019 Patriots owner Robert Kraft accused of soliciting prostitute Reds begin quest to fill center field GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds begin their search for a center ﬁelder this weekend when they open spring training play. They have some intriguing options to replace Billy Hamilton, including the rare combination of a reliever who also plays the outﬁeld. Hamilton, who was among the NL’s top defensive center ﬁelders, struggled to hit and has signed with the Royals. Right ﬁelder Scott Schebler is the leading candidate to move to center, where he played 16 games last season, but ﬁrst-year manager David Bell is exploring some other options. He could try rookie Nick Senzel at the spot, or let newcomers Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp get some time there. He’s also getting reliever Michael Lorenzen ready to both pitch and play center ﬁeld during spring training games, an unusual arrangement that has required changing his daily workout routine. Lorenzen was accustomed to it at Cal State Fullerton, where he played center and some- One of Senzel’s biggest challenges will be learning to communicate with the other outﬁelders when the ball’s in the air, something he’s never done in his career. “I’m going to be learning it in the big leagues,” he said. “I think that puts a more challenging aspect on it.” Ross D. Franklin | AP file Cincinnati Reds pitcher Michael Lorenzen is among the possible replacements for Billy Hamilton in center field. Lorenzen, who played center and sometimes closed games at Cal State Fullerton, has been lobbying for a dual role in the major leagues. Manager David Bell’s other options include rookie Nick Senzel or newcomers Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp. exciting. I have to slow myself down. I think it’s cool that he’s preparing himself the way he is.” Instead of doing conditioning work with the other pitchers, Lorenzen will be working out with the outﬁelders more often. “We’ve come up with a pretty good plan,” Lorenzen said. “It’s them trusting that I’m a good enough athlete to maybe not do all the (pitchers’) conditioning. Running down balls in the outﬁeld is conditioning.” times closed games. The Reds drafted him as a pitcher in 2013. He has lobbied for a dual role in the major leagues. “Just pitching doesn’t seem natural to me,” Lorenzen said. Bell wants Lorenzen to get ready to pitch during the ﬁrst half of camp, then will use him in the outﬁeld in the later games and see what happens. “We will have him pitch an inning and stay in the game (in the outﬁeld),” Bell said. “It’s Bell’s other intriguing option is Senzel, who played third base at Tennessee. The Reds had him work out in the outﬁeld in the offseason, getting the 23-yearold ready to try a new position. “It is a challenging position,” Senzel said “You’re covering a lot of ground. You have to cover the gaps.” Bell thinks that Senzel’s speed will give him good range in the outﬁeld. The challenge will be learning the nuances of the position. Gray scratched Sonny Gray was scratched from his planned start against the Indians on Saturday because of a sore pitching elbow. He expects to resume throwing next week and Tanner Roark, acquired from Washington, will start in his place. “It is nothing I’m overly worried about. I’ve dealt with this in the past,” Gray said Friday. “I’ll start throwing in a couple of days. I wanted to go out there and throw the ﬁrst game of spring but it was everyone’s decision not to push it.” Gray, a 29-year-old right-hander, was acquired from the New York Yankees last month and agreed to a $38 million, four-year contract with the Reds. Cavaliers send Suns to franchise-record 16th straight loss CLEVELAND (AP) — Kevin Love’s presence makes an obvious difference for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Playing his third game since returning from foot surgery, Love had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Cleveland sent the Phoenix Suns to a franchiserecord 16th straight loss, 11198 on Thursday night. “He’s a walking double-double,” Cleveland forward Larry Nance Jr. said “That’s something he’s been his whole career and it’s certainly not going to change now.” Cedi Osman scored 19 points for Cleveland while NBA-worst Phoenix (11-49) topped the record of 15 set March 2- April 1, 2018. The Suns’ last victory was Jan. 12 over Denver. Devin Booker scored 30 points for Phoenix, and Kelly Oubre Jr. had 23. The Suns have allowed at least 110 points in each game of the losing streak. “You have to change something where we’re at the point we’re at,” Booker said. “We have to hold people accountable. You can’t take things personally when a guy calls you out. We need to start not being scared to step on people’s toes when something is wrong.” Love played 22 minutes and was 6 of 13 from the ﬁeld. He played nearly 16 minutes Feb. 21 against New York and sat out the ﬁnal game before the AllStar break against Brooklyn two days later. Love, who committed three turnovers in the ﬁrst quarter, admitted he’s still shaking off some rust. “I looked like I hadn’t played many games lately and looked like I had just come off break,” he said. “That will go away. Couple shots were pretty short, getting my legs underneath me, but overall I felt pretty good and just kind of progress in these minutes.” The Cavaliers plan to steadily increase Love’s playing time over the next several games as he rebuilds his stamina after missing over 50 games because of the surgery in November. AP source: NBA, union forward talks on ending ‘one-and-done’ MIAMI (AP) — The NBA and its players are continuing to move forward on plans to eliminate the “one-and-done” rule in college basketball, something that the sides have been working toward for months. The league has sent a proposal to the National Basketball Players Association on lowering the minimum age for entering the NBA draft from 19 to 18, and the union discussed the contents at a meeting in the Bahamas earlier this week, a person with with a Grade 1, or minor, sprain of his right knee. Williamson, a freshman, is widely expected to be in the NBA next season and forgo his ﬁnal three seasons of collegiate eligibility. Neither the league nor the players’ union has hidden the fact that both sides want the current system changed. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said last July that it was time to revert back to the policy that will allow players to go into the league right out of high school, something that will have to knowledge of the matter told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither side released the proposal publicly. USA Today Sports ﬁrst reported the proposal being sent.

(AP) — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft faces misdemeanor charges of soliciting a prostitute after he was twice videotaped in a sex act at a Florida massage parlor, police said Friday in a case that could get him in trouble with the NFL. The 77-year-old Kraft denied any wrongdoing. He was not immediately arrested. Jupiter police said a warrant will be issued and his attorneys will be notiﬁed. They said details about the charges against the owner of the Super Bowl champion team will not be released until next week. The charge comes amid a crackdown on sex trafﬁcking from Palm Beach to Orlando in which police planted cameras in massage parlors. Hundreds of arrest warrants have been issued in recent days as a result of a six-month investigation, and more are expected. Ten spas have been closed, and several people have been taken into custody on sex trafﬁcking charges. Jupiter police Chief Daniel Kerr said he was shocked to learn that Kraft, who is worth $6 billion, was paying for sex inside a shoppingcenter massage parlor, the Orchids of Asia Day Spa. “We are as equally stunned as everyone else,” Kerr said. Most people charged for the ﬁrst time with soliciting a prostitute in Florida are allowed to enter a diversion program, said attorney David Weinstein, a former prosecutor. Kraft would probably have to perform 100 hours of community service and attend a course on the harmful effects of prostitution and sex trafﬁcking, he said. The NFL did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Under league policy, players, owners, coaches and other employees can be punished for “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public conﬁdence in” the NFL. “Ownership and club or league management have traditionally been held to a higher standard and will be subject to more signiﬁcant discipline,” the policy says. The Patriots won the Super Bowl this month over the Los Angeles Rams for their sixth NFL championship in the past 18 seasons, making them the most successful team in pro sports during that span. Kraft lives in Massachusetts and has a home in the Palm Beach area. Though he is a Democrat, he is friendly with President Donald Trump and a frequent guest at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. Kraft’s wife, Myra Hiatt Kraft, died in 2011. He has been dating 39-yearold actress Ricki Noel Lander since 2012. In a statement, Kraft’s representatives said they “categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity.” Vero Beach police Chief David Currey, whose agency has been involved in the sextrafﬁcking investigation, told reporters earlier this week that the prostitutes are victims who have been trapped into the trade. Sunday Times-Sentinel be collectively bargained with the players. The NBPA has had previous talks with the NBA on the idea, which is likely to be in place by the 2022 draft. “I think it’s a good idea,” Boston’s Jayson Tatum, who went to the NBA after one season at Duke, said at All-Star weekend. “If you’re good enough to come out of high school, I feel like you should be able to. But I don’t make those decisions.” Golden State’s DeMarcus Cousins, who played at Kentucky, told reporters Thursday that knowing what he knows now makes him question why players need to play college basketball — especially if they’re NBA-ready. “I don’t understand the point of it,” Cousins said about the ‘one-and-done’ rule. “What’s the difference between 18 and 19 and 17 and 18? You’re immature, you’re young, you’re ignorant to life in general. So what’s really the difference?
