The scholarship is in memory of Oiler who was a member of the class of 2013 and was very involved Oiler with the music department at Gallia Academy High School. He passed away in August 2018. Oiler’s family established the scholarship in his memory, to be awarded yearly to a GAHS graduating senior who is active in any band program and has a passion for music. Hamilton received a $1,000 scholarship award from the Oiler as a fomite (objects or materials which are likely to carry infection). Practicing good hand hygiene can stop the spread of germs and end the life cycle of that organism, while practicing poor hand hygiene can further the spread of the germs by infecting a new host and continuing the life cycle. This is why clean hands save lives. The CDC encourages patients and patient advocates to take a more active role in their own health care by helping providers and visitors to remember to wash their hands. For example, if you are in the hospital and someone comes in your room, they should immediately wash their hands or at least use sanitizer. They likely touched several fomites on the way in. It is perfectly OK to ask anyone coming into your room to wash their hands and/ or use hand sanitizer. It may save your life.

Kennedy once joked, “There is no city in the United States in which I get a warmer welcome and less votes than Columbus, Ohio!” Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter visited Columbus on Sept. 8, 1976, and I had the opportunity to meet him near High and Broad streets as he walked by. President Gerald Ford visited Columbus on Nov. 1, 1976, the day before voters went to the polls to choose between him and Jimmy Carter for president. I walked a couple of blocks to the Statehouse and shook his hand. The following day, he lost a close race. Four years later, we were back in Columbus where I met presidential candidate Ronald Reagan. He walked past where I was standing, and I had the opportunity to shake “The Gipper’s” hand. After the Reagan years ended, I saw President George H.W. Bush at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus. In 1992, I had the opportunity to see candidate Bill Clinton, his wife Hillary, along with vice presidential candidate Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, during a campaign stop in Wilmington at the courthouse. Brenda and I also met President George W. Bush at a reception at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va. In 2016, I twice had the opportunity to see President Donald Trump. During a 2017 visit to Washington, D.C. and the White House, I met Vice President Mike Pence when he addressed the members of the County Commissioners Association of Ohio. The late President Ronald Reagan was a popular president. He had undeniable warmth and charisma, and columnist Peggy Noonan captured that warmth in a story. We have all received them. The fundraising letters written by both Democrat and Republican national committees pursuing donations for political candidates. Mrs. Frances Green, an 83-year-old widow from California on Social Security, had been a faithful Reagan contributor, albeit one dollar at a time. She was by no means a wealthy woman, but Mrs. Green received an invitation from the Republican National Committee to a reception at the White House over the Fourth of July weekend in 1988. Determined to meet President Reagan, she boarded the Southwest Chief in Los Angles and settled in for her long three-day train trip to Washington, D.C. On the Fourth of July, Mrs. Green arrived at the White House gate on Pennsylvania Avenue. She approached the Secret Service ofﬁcer and showed him her invitation. “I’m sorry, but I can’t let you in. Your name isn’t on the guest list and you have to be vetted for security reasons,” the ofﬁcer said politely. Mrs. Green had not read the ﬁne print of the invitation. It called for an RSVP and a sizable, mandatory contribution. She was heartbroken. The kindhearted Secret Service ofﬁcer called one of the presidential aides he knew and told them Mrs. Green’s story. The aide told President Reagan about Mrs. Green and the president also was touched by her story. The next day, Mrs. Green returned to the White House for a special tour. As they were ending the tour, the aide and Mrs. Green were standing outside the Oval Ofﬁce. The aide brought Mrs. Green to the door to peek through to get a glimpse of President Reagan. As they peeped through the door, President Reagan saw Mrs. Green and motioned for her to come in saying, “Frances! Those darn computers, they fouled up again! If I’d known you were coming, I would have come out there to get you myself!” The president and Mrs. Green sat together on the Oval Ofﬁce couch, talking about California and Mrs. Green’s life. Some would have considered the time spent with Mrs. Green in the Oval Ofﬁce a waste of President Reagan’s time, but it wasn’t. It was just two good, decent people caring for each other. One just happened to be president of the United States. Pat Haley is former Clinton County commissioner and former Clinton County sheriff. THEIR VIEW Observing Teacher Appreciation Week As I travel around Ohio visiting schools, I see great teaching happening everywhere—a teacher in Swanton bringing history to life through interactive medieval role-playing… teachers in Canal Winchester promoting the arts of debate and public speaking through the Model UN program… teachers at the Ohio State School for the Blind who facilitate after-school programs centered around leadership and daily living skills. Educators are making a difference both in and out of the classroom, and I am grateful for that each and every day. If you think about it, teachers are on the front lines of creating the future of our communities and our state, raising the next generation of leaders. What job is more important than that?

Around 100 men, women, and children aged 8 to 80 from Ohio to Mississippi re-enacted the life of Civil War soldiers last weekend. Sunday afternoon’s battle depicted a confrontation from 1863 between John Hunt Morgan and Union forces while Morgan and the his Confederate soldiers were on their way to Buffington Island. “During that time here, Morgan did engage with home guard and Union forces all the way through,” said Joe Barnhart, the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry’s 1st Sergeant. “We’re going to have union perusing him and we’re going to have some home guard engaging.” Saturday’s skirmish in Pomeroy demonstrated some of the Confederate soldiers being taken prisoner at the courthouse, which happened in 1863. “We were not re-enacting any battle that ever happened. What we were doing is because of the fact that it’s our bicentennial for the county and the fact that we are the only county in the state of Ohio that had any Civil War battle take place,” Barnhart said. “We wanted to do something to commemorate that, but also understood that if we would have done it out here at the fairgrounds, or Buffington Island, then people wouldn’t have driven from the big parade in town and all the festivities in town all the way to watch it.” Barnhart said the events were educational to demonstrate what soldiers went through in their day-to-day lives. He also said the reenactors camp and life were accurate to the Civil War in 1863. The small, and partially open, tents were very similar to living conditions of soldiers and the cavalry. “We do it because we Cadets take part in the battle at the Meigs County Fairgrounds on Sunday. want to share that history and hopefully spark an interest in other people, that they might be interested in this hobby or they at least get interested in history,” Barnhart said. “We don’t want the memories of all those people who have come before us to go away. We don’t want to lose that. It’s too easy to just forget all the sacrifices everybody made.” The 7th Ohio had an educational day planned More reenactors on horseback. Cannons fire during the battle. for students on Friday, but the events were canceled due to inclement weather. The reenactors were planning to have five or six stations set up for students to learn about blacksmithing, infantry tactics, basic soldiering cooking, Meigs County history, as well as seeing the settlers and camps.

He also stated that several had convictions prior for theft, which he stated is a crime of dishonesty. In her rebuttal, Canepa stated that the women knew what had happened to them in the rooms with Tucker and that they testiﬁed to those experiences on the stand, being consistent with what they had previously told the investigators. “We did not pick these women, he (Tucker) picked these women,” said Canepa. She stated that it was because of their backgrounds which may not make them as believable as others, with many testifying they did not report the incidents as they were afraid no one would believe them. Canepa concluded by saying that there were 12 different women, most of whom did not know one another, all telling a very similar story. “What are the odds they all fabricated the same story,” said Canepa, referencing the idea that they had conspired together on the allegations. In addition to the sexual assault and related charges, the theft in ofﬁce charge dealt with the overlap of time when Tucker was on the clock at both Meigs County Common Pleas Court and the Middleport Jail, being paid at both locations. In addition to being found guilty of the 24 charges, the jury ruled on speciﬁcations on each of the kidnapping charges. They determined that Tucker did not release capacity and in high need of updating. “We are constantly facing a battle in our (corrections system),” said Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin after welcoming legal counselors at the March meeting. “We are daily running transports all over the state of Ohio as far away as Van Wert County just to accommodate our needs of housing prisoners. Since 2016, we’ve seen a big increase in our daily average population. In 2018, our daily average population was around 86 (inmates) per day.

Commissioners raised the tax a quarter of a percent after a unanimous vote in January, citing emergency concerns with county funding and the opioid epidemic. The raise is estimated to bring roughly $600,000 to $700,000 into the general fund annually.

Tucker also faces further proceedings on sexually violent predator speciﬁcations contained in the indictment, which will be presented to the court at a later date. If Tucker is found guilty of the speciﬁcations, additional time in prison may be added to the court’s sentence. The court revoked Tucker’s bond and he was led away in handcuffs. The court ordered a presentencing investigation and Tucker will return at an undetermined date for sentencing. Tucker is facing more than 100 years in prison when he is sentenced. Tucker was originally indicted on 32 total counts, with seven of the charges dismissed before being considered by the jury. As previously reported, Tucker had rejected a plea agreement last fall which would have called for him to plead guilty to four third degree felony counts of sexual battery, two fourth degree felonies and some misdemeanors with a recommendation for an eight year prison sentence. As part of that offer, the state would not have opposed judicial release after ﬁve years. The offer was taken out of consideration following that hearing in October. Tucker is currently being held at the Washington County Jail after being taken into custody by Meigs County Sheriff’s Deputies on Thursday night. Tucker had been free on bond throughout the case, but, at the request of the state, Judge Linton Lewis revoked his bond after the guilty verdicts. The Special Prosecutions section and Bureau of Criminal Investigation of the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce prosecuted and investigated the case, respectively.

Judges declare Ohio’s congressional map unconstitutional By Dan Sewell Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — A panel of federal judges ruled Friday that Ohio’s congressional districts were unconstitutionally drawn by the Republicans for their political advantage, and it ordered a new map for the 2020 elections. The ruling, if it stands, could prove an important victory for the Democrats, who are hoping redrawn boundaries will not only help them pick up House seats but also energize voters and boost turnout in this longtime The Republicans hold a 12-4 advantage in Ohio’s congressional delegation under the current map, which went into effect for the 2012 elections. The Supreme Court is already considering a gerrymandering case that could lead to a major decision on how far politicians can go in drawing districts. It involves challenges to congressional maps in North Carolina, drawn by Republicans, and Maryland, created by Democrats. Republican Attorney General Dave Yost said he will seek to stay the court order while appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. He also said Ohioans have already approved mapmaking reforms that will be in effect for redistricting after the 2020 census. He called the opinion “a fundamentally political act that has no basis whatsoever in the Constitution.” Some Democrats have said that after years of lopsided congressional races, newly competitive districts could generate voter excitement in a state that Trump won in battleground state, helping them defeat President Donald Trump. Republican officials said they would appeal. The panel unanimously declared the current map an “unconstitutional partisan gerrymander,” saying the GOP-controlled Ohio Legislature put the Democrats at a disadvantage by packing lots of them into four districts and scattering the rest across the remaining 12. “Democratic candidates must run a significantly longer distance to get to the same finish line,” the judges wrote in a 301page ruling.

The judges wrote that the GOP created districts in 2011 with the goal of ensuring “durable majorities” for Republicans. Republicans have appealed that ruling. The lawsuit challenging Ohio’s map called it “one of the most egregious gerrymanders in recent history,” one that has reliably done its job by allowing the GOP to capture 75% of the seats by winning a little more than half the state’s votes. The longest-serving woman in House history was among the plaintiffs’ witnesses. Nineteen-term Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo said her district, the elongated 9th, was “hacked apart,” forcing her into a Democratic primary with veteran Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Cleveland in 2012. She won, knocking him out of Congress. 78° 58° Seasonably warm with variable clouds NATIONAL CITIES Logan 70/44 McArthur 71/46 South Shore Greenup 71/49 71/49 500 Primary pollutant: Particulates WEDNESDAY 83° 56° Waverly 70/46 Pollen: 119 TUESDAY 80° 51° 2 Primary: ascospores, unk.

Another example was Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, which stretches in a long skinny line along Lake Erie and has been dubbed “the Snake on the Lake.” The judges described it as “a bizarre, elongated sliver of a district that severed numerous counties.” Attorneys for the Republicans said the map was drawn with bipartisan support. Before it took effect, the GOP held a 13-5 advantage in Ohio’s congressional delegation. (Each party later lost one seat when the state’s representation in Congress was reduced because of population shifts.) “This is called democracy in action,” said GOP attorney Phil Strach, adding that both parties supported “incumbency protection” — or making it more likely an incumbent will win — because that benefits all Ohioans by giving their delegation more clout in Washington. In a case similar to Ohio’s, a three-judge 2016 after Barack Obama carried it twice. And that, in turn, could influence the White House race. “That could very well change the turnout for the presidential race,” said Ohio Democratic Party chairman David Pepper said. “It’s a bad day for Republicans in Washington, and it’s a bad day for Donald Trump.” The Republican Party state chairwoman called the challenge to the map “a partisan political ploy.” “When Democrats can’t win at the ballot box, they try to change the rules,” Jane Timken said. The judges — two nominated by Democratic presidents, one by a Republican — ordered a proposed new map by June 14. They heard arguments in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati in March. Voters’ rights and Democratic groups had sued Ohio Republican officials, saying redistricting after the 2010 census yielded a map that has produced an impenetrable GOP advantage.

The Eastern softball team claimed its fourth straight victory and rallied from a one-run deﬁcit to defeated Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Trimble by an 8-2 tally in a weather-shortened ﬁve-inning contest on Thursday in Athens County. Eastern (12-6, 12-4 TVC Hocking) — which also defeated Trimble by a 12-0 count on April 8 in Meigs County —scored the ﬁrst run of Thursday’s game as Mollie Maxon singled home Cera Grueser in the opening inning. The Lady Tomcats, however, scored twice in the bottom of the ﬁrst and then held Eastern off the board in the second. The Lady Eagles tied the game at two with one out in the top of the third inning, as Kelsey Roberts singled home Megan Maxon. Eastern scored three more runs after a pair of two-out errors by the Lady Tomcats and led 5-2. An RBI single by Megan Maxon, an RBI double by Mollie Maxon and an RBI single by Tessa Rockhold in the top of the fourth capped of the Lady Eagles’ 8-2 victory.

Yet, for all of his accolades, Wood also mentions that Weber is still one of the most coachable athletes that he has had the pleasure of working with. “Eric has progressively gotten better in each of his four years with the program. He’s been to regionals a few times, he holds the school record in the discus and he still takes to coaching when you try to improve his performance,” Chuck Wood said. “We have a lot of younger throwers on the team this year, but he’s been a great mentor to that group because he’s willing to pass along knowledge that makes the group better. That’s the type of competitor that Rio Grande is getting, someone who thinks of more than himself.” Weber will be transitioning from one Wood to another, with Burt Wood waiting to receive Weber upon his graduation from River Valley. As a former state champion at Gallia Academy, the current Rio Grande throwing coach was nothing more than giddy about adding someone with Eric’s talents — both athletically and academically. “We’re very excited to add Eric to the program.

The Point Pleasant baseball team was held to three hits and had its four-game winning streak come to an end Thursday night with a 4-1 setback to host Parkersburg South in a non-conference matchup in Wood County. The visiting Big Blacks (19-7) were held hitless through two frames as the Patriots also built a fourrun cushion in that same time span. The Red and Black managed a run on a bases-loaded error in the fifth, but ultimately came up empty over the final two innings of regulation. Dustin Corley provided a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the second that allowed Drew Cochran to score the eventual game-winner for a 1-0 edge.

Athens sweeps TVC Ohio titles By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — The event started as silver and black as the host school, but the evening ultimately ended with an all-too-familiar green and gold shine. Athens came away with both the boys and girls team titles on Thursday night at the 2019 Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division track and field championships hosted by River Valley High School in Gallia County. Since the 2014 TVC Ohio meet, AHS had come away with every team championship in both divisions … with the lone exception being last spring when Nelsonville-York won the boys crown. The Lady Bulldogs secured their sixth straight championship over that span with a final tally of 175 points, which was still 82 points better than the rest of the six-team field. Vinton County was the girls runner-up with 93 points, followed by River Valley in third with 75 points. Alexander (72), Nelsonville-York (64) and Meigs (40) rounded out the bottom half of the field. The Lady Raiders accumulated three event champions and nine topfour finishes, with a trio of those also coming in relay events. Lauren Twyman won the 800m run with a time of 2:31.40, while Kelsey Brown won the shot put title with a throw of 34 feet, 9.5 inches. Taylor Huck won the pole vault (8-4) and also tied for fourth in the high jump with a cleared height of 4 feet, 4 inches. The quartet of Twyman, Kate Nutter, Hina Horimoto and Savannah Reese ended up as the 4x100m relay runners-up with a mark of 54.79 seconds. Reese was also second in the 400m dash with a time of 1:03.18. Reese, Twyman, Kate Nutter and Rakia Penick finished third in the 4x400m relay with a time of 4:33.32.

The Lady Marauders landed one event champion and a quintet of top-four efforts, with senior Kassidy Bezting leading the way with her fourth consecutive long jump crown after posting a winning distance of 17 feet, 5.5 inches. Betzing set the TVC Ohio record in the long jump last year with an extra two inches on this year’s winning leap. Betzing was also fourth in the 100m dash with a mark of 13.27 seconds. Caroline Roush was the discus runner-up with a throw of 99 feet even and also placed fourth in the shot put with a heave of 32 feet, 3.5 inches. Betzing, Jewels Con- ley, Allison Hanstine and Madison Cremeans also secured a runner-up finish in the 4x200m relay with time of 1:57.81.

Sunday, May 5, 2019 3B Blue Angels storm past Chesapeake By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest. com CHESAPEAKE, Ohio — Perhaps the most important thing to take into the postseason is momentum. The Gallia Academy softball team wrapped up Ohio Valley Conference play and won its fourth straight game on Thursday in Lawrence County, with the Blue Angels defeating Chesapeake by a 4-1 count in a weathershortened five-inning game. The Blue Angels (10-11, 10-4 OVC) — who also defeated CHS by a 14-1 count on April 10 in Centenary — had a runner thrown out at the plate in the first inning of Thursday’s contest, but took a 2-0 lead in the following frame, as Preslee Reed singled home Malerie Stanley and then scored on a single by Kyla Miller. The Lady Panthers got one run back in the bottom of the fourth, but GAHS capped off the 4-1 victory with Alex Barnes and Chasity Adams scoring in the top of the fifth. Hunter Copley was the winning pitcher of record in a complete game for Gallia Acad- emy, striking out four batters, while giving up one earned run on three hits and a pair of walks. Swann took the setback in a complete game for CHS, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and three walks. Leading GAHS at the plate, Adams was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Alex Barnes doubled once and scored once in the win, while Reed and Stanley both singled once and scored once, with Reed picking up an RBI. Miller and Bailey Meadows both contributed a single and an RBI to the winning cause. Storms, Handley and Rollins each recorded a hit for the hosts, with Storms scoring a run. The Blue Angels committed the game’s only error and left six runners stranded on base, two more than Chesapeake. After the postseason opener at Warren on Saturday — with the winner scheduled to visit Waverly on Monday — GAHS is slated to host Eastern in a non-conference bout on Tuesday.

Spring happened. At some point a pair of robins decided the front bumper of our old International tractor would be a swell place to build a nest. There nestled behind the brush guard was a small, bowl-shaped nest containing four babyblue eggs. Fortunately for the robins I don’t need the tractor right away, so I can be patient. From four eggs we are now down to a single ﬂedgling, and there is a good chance that some predator will eventually get that, but I am refusing to get involved. I am letting nature take its course. Every spring brings calls about “orphaned” animals, and I put the word orphaned in quotation marks because in many if not most cases, the baby animal isn’t orphaned at all – its mother is simply hiding, not wanting to be seen. It happens every year, humans feel they have to interfere with wildlife raising their young; sometimes they have good intentions and genuinely care about the animals, other times they are overcome with the cuteness of the baby animal, or they think it would be neat to have a pet deer, raccoon, coyote, or other wild animal until they discover that it’s not much fun. I always encourage people to let nature take its course, even if it seems like a cruel thing to do. Here are a few reasons to let nature take its course: First. It is illegal to possess a wild animal. In Ohio it is illegal to possess a wild animal without a permit from the Ohio Division of Wildlife. People possessing wildlife without a permit may be subject to ﬁnes, imprisonment, and/or restitution. NASCAR throws the flag on trying to liven up qualifying CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR abandoned its yearslong bid to add excitement to qualifying and announced Wednesday it will return to singlecar laps after the current format became a laughingstock. All three national series will make the change at all oval tracks, starting this weekend at Dover. NASCAR for more than ﬁve years has used a group qualifying format, but a new rules package this season created an unintended consequence: drivers could game the system. “The teams are always going to do what beneﬁts them the most and unfortunately that was waiting, drafting,” said Scott Miller, senior vice president of competition. “It wasn’t a very compelling show. We owe it to our fans to provide something that is worth watching.” Miller did not concede it as a victory for the teams, who found every loophole to their beneﬁt. “I don’t think anybody is at fault. It is something we tried, to try to provide a good show, we were optimistic and it didn’t work out,” Miller said. “Maybe we should have been more proactive, maybe they should have been active. Whatever.” NASCAR was adamant it was trying to keep qualifying entertaining for fans because single-car runs are tedious, but teams continued to ﬁnd loopholes that made the format a farce. Most drivers waited until the very last moment to pull off pit lane for their qualifying run; and all 12 drivers in the ﬁnal round at California in March missed the cutoff point to even register a lap. NASCAR ofﬁcials were furious and for the past month considered various options, but the emphasis on aerodynamic draft created through the new rules package backed the series into a corner. Teams wanted an aero pull and waited for another driver to go ﬁrst, and they showed no intention of stopping despite several NASCAR attempts to tighten the rules. Elimination-style rounds were also cut. Television partners Fox Sports and NBC Sports are tasked with showing qualifying, which had been knockout rounds completed within an hour. Both TV partners indicated to NASCAR they could still produce an interesting show with single-car qualifying, which played a part in NASCAR’s decision to go back to a format most ﬁnd technical and rather boring. “We’ve all seen how group qualifying evolved, and with the teams all waiting until the last minute, it became problematic from a content standpoint and also from a storytelling standpoint for the broadcaster and radio perspective,” Miller said. “It was very hard to ﬁgure out who was doing what when it was (happening) only in two minutes. This is also about restoring general order.” NASCAR said the single-car qualifying format will be in effect for the rest of the season, though group qualifying will remain in place at road courses. The qualifying order draw will be determined by the previous race’s starting lineup. The session should still be completed in an hour, with potentially two cars half a lap apart making runs at the same time, and the networks will rely on technology to enhance the production. “We obviously want to put on the best show we can and it obviously didn’t work out the way we thought it would,” Miller said. “We are in the business of racing and putting on a good show at the same time.” Finally.

Just know that there are no guarantees, but even at the very worst, the death of one animal means others will get to live. Similarly, this is also the time of year that I get calls about sick raccoons in daylight. It is a commonly held belief that any raccoon out in daylight must be sick – that’s wrong, and here is why: After giving birth, a mother raccoon will stay with its young to protect them from male raccoons, who want to kill her babies, so the mother will go back into heat and can breed again. From a human perspective, she’s being a good mother and defending her young. She won’t eat for days, but eventually she is going to get hungry and need food, so she will go out when the male raccoons are sleeping – which just happens to be during daylight. Most raccoons you see out in the daytime this time of year are sow raccoons (remember, she’s not sick, just hungry), and disobedient young raccoons who don’t stay at home when they are supposed to. So what should you do? Nothing! Just leave her alone, shut up your dogs, and give her space and a chance to ﬁnd some food and go back to her den. If you kill the sow, you sentence the young to death, or soon ﬁnd young raccoons roaming around your place. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

And, for the time being, the Indians season is cracked, not crushed. Cleveland placed the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner on the 10-day injured list Friday, and the club didn’t provide a deﬁnitive timeline for his return to the rotation. Kluber sustained a nondisplaced fracture of his ulna bone on Wednesday night when he was hit by a line drive during a start against Miami. He had more imaging tests taken Thursday at the Cleveland Clinic, and the results conﬁrmed the initial diagnosis. Manager Terry Francona said Kluber’s arm will be immobilized for the next week — the Indians will keep him out of the dugout to prevent his arm from being bumped — and the 33-year-old will be X-rayed once a week. The cast will be removed in three weeks, when doctors will decide what’s next. Francona said the club purposely avoided guessing at a recovery time. “Number one, it doesn’t help,” Francona said before the Indians ended another tough day with a 2-1 win over Seattle. “And two, it’s not really fair to the player. That’s exactly how they (doctors) laid it out. Bones need to heal. Lynne Sladky | AP Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber (28) walks with head athletic trainer James Quinlan, center, and catcher Roberto Perez (55) after a line drive hit and fractured his right forearm. Cleveland placed the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner on the 10-day injured list Friday. A date for his return to the rotation is uncertain. They have an approximation, because they’re really good at what they do, but that’s why we’re going to have it looked at approximately once a week just to see the healing.” Kluber was not available for comment, but Francona said the right-hander is handling the injury with typical resolve. “He goes, ‘This is the hand I was dealt. Got to play it,’” Francona said. “My guess is — it’s not a guess — when they give him the go-ahead to do something, he’ll do it like crazy. Whether it’s lowerhalf or whatever, he’ll get after it like he always does.” Playing without Kluber for any period is a substantial blow to the Indians, three-time AL Central champions who trail Minnesota in the division and aren’t hitting. Cleveland’s also missing starter Mike Clevinger, who has made signiﬁcant progress from strained back muscle but isn’t anywhere close to pitching in a game. And while the 33-yearold Kluber wasn’t performing up to his elite standards early this season, the right-hander still is the club’s ace and a leader. For that reason, and to keep his players focused, Francona called a meeting before the series opener against the Mariners to address the recent misfortune. “Just to remind guys who we are, what we stand for,” he said. “One of the ﬁrst things I tell them at spring training is how we handle adversity kind of deﬁnes how your season goes. I don’t see where teams aren’t going to come in and feel sorry for us. This can be our time to shine or we can feel sorry for ourselves and lose. We want to make sure we scratch and claw and do everything we can.” The Indians have dealt with major injuries in the past, and believe they can withstand another. “It’s never good news, especially when it’s the ace of your staff that goes down,” said Clevinger, who looked good while throwing from 90 feet before batting practice. “It is tough, but it’s the next-man-up mentality. We’ve been having that same problem since 2016. This isn’t really new with the Cleveland Indians, this injury bug. We’ve got the pieces to keep rolling.” Browns rookie CB Williams looks the part BEREA, Ohio (AP) — With a bright smile, easygoing nature and similar facial expressions, rookie cornerback Greedy Williams looks like a young Chris Rock. He’s a dead ringer for the comedian. “I tell people, that’s my father,” Williams joked. The only rock the Browns need him to be is in their secondary. After questions about his toughness and tackling dropped him to the second round of last week’s NFL draft, Williams was selected by Cleveland, which traded up three spots to nab the former LSU standout. The Browns hope that pairing him with Denzel Ward, who made the Pro Bowl last season as a rookie, will stabilize their defensive backﬁeld for years. If ﬁrst impressions mean anything, Williams made a strong one Friday as the Browns opened their rookie minicamp to the media. Wearing No. 26, Williams was relaxed while answering some pointed questions, and then showed off some of his quickness and athleticism during a workout moved indoors by rain. One of the SEC’s best defensive backs, Williams was so conﬁdent he’d be taken in the ﬁrst round that he went to Nashville for the draft with much of his family, including his ﬁancee and 2-year-old daughter. But as the night wore on, and without hearing his name announced by Commissioner Roger Goodell, Williams grew uneasy. He began to wonder and worry. Williams asked LSU teammate Devin White to ﬁll him in on draft protocol. “I was like, ‘So everybody at the draft gets drafted, right?’” Williams said. “He was like, ‘No, a couple people didn’t get drafted last year.’ So I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’” Once the ﬁrst round ended, Williams knew there was only one thing to do — pack up. “I still had high energy, happy, and told my mom, ‘Let’s just go back home and do it with my other family,’” he said. “I told her ‘Day 2’s coming up.’” Williams was surrounded by 150 guests at a Holiday Inn in Shreveport, Louisiana, when the call came through from Browns general manager John Dorsey. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, May 5, 2019 5B Ohio State wants info on ‘96 doc investigation made public COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University asked a judge Wednesday for permission to publicly share information about a conﬁdential state medical board investigation involving the team doctor accused of decadesold sexual misconduct against more than 150 former students. The Perkins Coie law ﬁrm has spent a year investigating the men’s allegations against Rich- ard Strauss for Ohio State, and its ﬁndings are expected soon. The school plans to release that report, which it said will reference information provided by former OSU employees during the 1996 medical board investigation. In asking for permission to make some information public, the university said identifying details about former patients and witnesses not associated with Ohio State would be redacted.
