By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

MIDDLEPORT — Multiple candidates have
ﬁled for ofﬁce in the village of Middleport.
Residents of Middleport will be deciding on the
ofﬁce of Mayor, along with two council seats in
the November General Election.
For the position of Middleport Mayor, those ﬁling petitions were current mayor Sandy Iannarelli,
Fred Hoffman, and Joshua Ashley.
For the two council seats available, four individuals ﬁled petitions. Filing for the council seats
were incumbent Ben Reed, incumbent Susan Page,
former councilman Douglas Dixon, and James

By Sarah Hawley

MIDDLEPORT —
Feeney Bennett American Legion Post 128 conducted several Memorial Day observances on
Monday, beginning with
a tribute at the river.
Memorial Day is
observed the last Monday in May each year
and is a day set aside
to remember men and
women who died during their service in the
United States Military.
Memorial Day was once
known as Decoration
Day and began following
the Civil War. It became

a federal holiday in 1971.
Post 128 conducted
the tribute at the Middleport Levee with the
placement of a wreath
in the Ohio River, a gun
salute and the playing of
taps. Legion members
then traveled to local
cemeteries for additional
remembrances.
Post 128 concluded
the day by taking part
in the 129th Burlingham
Memorial Day service
held at the Burlingham
Cemetery and Church.
Similar observances
were hold around the
county and nation as
part of Memorial Day.

RACINE — Looking

Southern High School
Valedictorian Marissa
Brooker and Salutatorian Mallory Johnson
took time during their
addresses during Saturday evening’s Baccalaureate and Commencement
Exercises to look back at
their time at Southern
and look forward to the
future.
“For this speech, I was
asked to reﬂect on my
time spent here, which
has been seven hours a
day, ﬁve days a week,
nine months a year, for
13 years. That’s a very
long time,” said Johnson.
Johnson then looked at
what the Class of 2019
has learned during all
of that time at Southern
Local.
“Sure, we learned
how to read, write, do
mathematics, science,
and social studies, but I
think school has taught
us more than just what
the state requires,” said
Johnson. “For example,
tying your shoes was
not on the curriculum,
but the teachers taught
some of us that anyway.
… Lessons evolved as we
got older, such as how to

of just yelling and insulting one another when
there was conﬂict. We
were taught to work
together, forgive each
other, and function in

While those things
were important, Johnson said that the most

be “adaptable.”

Trump in Japan: Pomp and tense circumstance
By Jill Colvin
and Darlene Superville
Associated Press

TOKYO — All the
pomp and pageantry in
the world couldn’t paper
over the tensions between
President Donald Trump
and Japan’s Shinzo Abe
on two of their most
pressing issues: North
Korea and trade.
The president and
prime minister tried
mightily to minimize
their differences during
Trump’s four-day state
visit to Tokyo, while
playing up their close personal friendship and their
countries’ long-held ties.
But tension abounded,
with Trump on Monday
brushing off the signiﬁcance of North Korean
short-range missile tests
that have rattled Japan
and reasserting his
threats to hit Abe with
potentially devastating
auto import tariffs.
Asked if he was bothered by the missile tests,
Trump said: “No, I’m
not. I am personally not.”
Abe, in contrast, said
the missile tests were “of
great regret.”
The conﬂict demonstrates the limits of
Abe’s long-term strategy

Palace in Tokyo.

of showering Trump
with affection in hopes
of extracting beneﬁts.
Trump appeared uninterested in concessions
despite a program tailormade for the president
that included a showy
visit with the new Japanese emperor, a round of
golf and prime seats at a
sumo tournament where
Trump got to present a
“President’s Cup” to the
winner,
Trump also demonstrated again that he is

ing a low IQ.
“I don’t take sides as to
who I’m in favor or who
I’m not,” Trump said
when asked whether he
was favoring a violent
dictator over the former
vice president. “But I can
tell you that Joe Biden
was a disaster.”
Indeed, Trump also
sided with Kim on the
question of whether
the short-term missile
launches violated U.N.
Security Council resolutions, as both Abe and
Trump’s own national
security adviser, John
Bolton, had stated.
“My people think it
could have been a violation,” said Trump. “I
view it differently. I view
it as a man — perhaps
he wants to get attention
and perhaps not. Who
knows?”
Japan has long voiced
concern about shortrange missiles because
of the threat they pose to
its security. Kim’s decision to lift the pause in
ballistic missile launches
that began in late 2017
alarmed North Korea’s
neighbors.
Most analysts believe
the missiles were ballistic missiles, which are
not allowed under U.N.
resolutions.
Trump’s visit to Japan
was designed to highlight the U.S.-Japan alliance and showcase the
warm relations between
the two leaders. Trump
said he and Abe deliberated over trade, Iran and
more during hours of
talks at Akasaka Palace.
Trump was invited
to Japan to be the ﬁrst
world leader to meet the

country’s new emperor.
But despite being far
from Washington, Trump
didn’t hold back in his
criticism of Biden, telling the world he agreed
with the North Korean
leader’s assessment and
declaring himself “not a
fan.”
“Kim Jong Un made a
statement that Joe Biden
is a low-IQ individual,”
Trump said. “He probably is, based on his
record. I think I agree
with him on that.”
Pressed on whether he
was supporting a dictator
over a former U.S. vice
president, Trump recited
a host of complaints
about the Obama-Biden
administration.
U.S. ofﬁceholders
have in the past generally avoided engaging in
politics while on foreign
soil, hewing to the adage
that politics stops at
the water’s edge. But
Trump’s sharp attack
on Biden, through his
declaration of agreement
with Kim, cast aside that
tradition.
Biden, during a recent
campaign event, accused
Trump of cozying up to
“dictators and tyrants”
like Kim.
Trump continues to
hold out hope of getting
Kim to agree to give up
his nuclear weapons and
ballistic missiles, even
though the two summits
he’s had with the North
Korean leader have produced no concrete pledge
to denuclearize the
Korean peninsula.
Trump nonetheless
praised Kim, calling him
a “smart man” who was
intent on making his
country better.
“All I know is there
have been no nuclear
tests, no ballistic missiles
going out, no long-range
missiles going out, and I
think that someday we’ll
have a deal,” Trump said,
adding that he is in “no
rush.”
Trump is correct that
North Korea has not
recently tested a longrange missile that could
reach the U.S. But this
month, North Korea ﬁred
off a series of short-range
missiles.

unique,” said Johnson.
“We have to make do
with the classes and
facilities we’ve got. But,
we are lucky enough to
have an equipped shop
class and weightlifting center. We have a
parking lot about the
same size as a standard
running track. We have
hardworking committees
such as the band boosters, who scrape every
penny together for our
musicians. We have teachers and staff that know
almost all our names by
heart, who pull from their
own pockets to take us on
ﬁeld trips, and stay late to
grade papers and create
lesson plans,” Johnson
added.
Johnson said, “All of
this going without has
made us tougher, stronger, and more innovative.
The interactions we had
in this building, good or
bad, have shaped us into
the people we are today.
So that’s why I think
when we look back we
should have Southern
Pride.”
Johnson concluded
with a quote from radio
host Art Linkletter, who
said, “Things turn out
best for the people who
make the best of the way
things turn out.”
For Brooker, it was
about looking forward in
her speech. But before
that, the valedictorian
took time to thank those
who have helped her
along the way.
“I would like to thank
all of the staff at Southern
High School for pushing me to be the best
student that I can be. I
would especially like to
thank Ms. Ohlinger, Mrs.
Pickens, Mr. Buckley and
Miss Davis for helping me
ﬁnd my love of science
and math,” said Brooker.
She also thanked Principal Daniel Otto, Student
Council members, and
her classmates.
“You all are the best
classmates that I could
ever ask for. I have been
so blessed to have been
able to grow up with all
of you. I think I can speak
for all of you when I say
that I am so thankful for
the bond that we have. I
know I wouldn’t be able
to get that kind of connection anywhere else and it
is one of my favorite parts
of going to Southern,”
said Brooker.
“I would like to thank
the three most important things in my life:
my faith, my family
and friends. I would be
nowhere without the
strength that God has
given me and the support that my family and
friends have given me.”
said Brooker.
Brooker added, “I’d like
to thank my parents for
telling me one thing when
I was growing up: that I
can do anything, if I work
hard enough. They have
always believed in me. …
They always encouraged
me. They didn’t tell me,
‘oh it will be easy’, they
told me it would be hard,
but you can do it. I do
not think that I would be
here if I didn’t have that
mindset.”

As Brooker noted, her
strengths are more math
and science than speaking and writing so she
included so numbers in
her speech.
“So the Earth is 4.6
billion years old. That
number is so big that it is
hard to even think about.
… We are going to imagine that the history of the
Earth is condensed down
into a day (24 hours),”
said Brooker.
Continuing with the
example, Brooker said,
“The day starts at midnight and ﬁnally at 4 a.m.,
the ﬁrst cell appears. Now
we jump all the way forward to 8:30 p.m. and the
ﬁrst plants appear in the
ocean. At 10:24 p.m., the
ﬁrst animals appear on
land and ﬁnally, at 11:58
p.m., two minutes before
the day is over, humans
appear on the Earth.”
“If you think about one
lifetime, about 70 years
we’ll say, it accounts for
0.000000267 percent
of Earth’s history. That
equals 20 milliseconds
on our scale. The blink
of an eye occurs in about
300 milliseconds,” said
Brooker.
She added, “So for people who like to say that
life happens in a blink of
an eye — it’s faster. This
statistic just blew y mind
and it really made me
think about the limited
time that we have here on
Earth.”
When looking forward,
Brooker said she made
a list of the ﬁve most
important things and the
ﬁve things she spent the
most time on and encouraged those in attendance
to do the same.
“Do your two lists
match up? Because mine
sure didn’t. I was spending too much time on
things that didn’t really
matter … That was a big
eye opener for me and it
showed me that I needed
to start prioritizing the
things that meant most to
me,” said Brooker.
Brooker concluded,
“Time is one of the most
valuable things that God
gives us and I encourage
all of you to not waste it
being inside you comfort
zone, saying, “it’s good
enough”, and not chasing
your dreams. Start doing
what you want and start
doing it now. Don’t wait
until tomorrow because
just remember, life happens faster than a blink of
an eye.”

SEOUL, South Korea
— North Korea on Monday called U.S. National
Security Adviser John
Bolton a “war monger”
and “human defect” after
he described its recent
tests of short-range missiles as a violation of
U.N. Security Council
resolutions.
The statement by
an unidentiﬁed North
Korean Foreign Ministry
spokesperson came as
President Donald Trump
visited Japan for meetings with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at which
the nuclear standoff
with North Korea was
expected to be high on
the agenda.
Bolton told reporters in Tokyo on Saturday that there was
“no doubt” that North
Korea’s recent missile
launches violated U.N.
resolutions, and that
sanctions against the
North must be kept
in place. Trump later
downplayed the missile
tests, tweeting, “North
Korea ﬁred off some
small weapons, which
disturbed some of my
people, and others, but
not me.”
North Korea tested
short-range ballistic
missiles on May 4 and
9, ending a pause in
launches that began
in late 2017. The tests
were seen as a way for
North Korea to pressure
Washington to soften its
stance on easing sanctions against it without
actually causing negotiations to collapse.
In the statement
carried by the North’s

Agency, the North Korean spokesperson said

Donation to Trump’s inaugural under scrutiny

French President Emmanuel Macron smiles to a supporter Sunday,
after voting in the European parliamentary elections in Le Touquet,
northern France. France is looking at an epic battle between pro-EU
centrist President Emmanuel Macron and anti-immigration, farright flagbearer Marine Le Pen in the European Parliament vote, a
duel over Europe’s basic values.

EU elections:
Gutted center, high
turnout, rising right
BRUSSELS (AP) —
The European Union
prides itself on being
a brilliant mosaic of
nations, but its parliamentary elections produced a
hodgepodge of sometimes
contradictory results that
complicates the future of
both the 28-country EU
and the domestic politics
of several members.
While issues like climate change, immigration
and global trade dominated the campaign, voters’
motivations were plainly
parochial.
And the domestic effect
of the continent-wide
elections was there for all
to see , including at least
one government coming
apart at the seams.

Voters in that precinct voted in favor of the levy, 158
to 144.
The majority of the district is located in Athens
County, where voters defeated the levy 1026 for to
1039 against.
The 14 vote margin in Meigs County, along with
the 13 vote margin in Athens County, currently has
the levy passing by a total of 1,184 for the levy to
1,183 against the levy. The slim margin prompts a
recount of votes in the matter.
The levy, if approved, calls for a one percent income
tax on earned income of individuals residing the
school district. This includes residents in a portion of
Meigs, Athens and Vinton counties. The income tax
would be for a period of ﬁve years beginning Jan. 1,
2020 for the current expenses of the district.
Previous levy attempts for the district, ranging from
1.5 percent to 1 percent had all been rejected by voters. The recent levy history is as follows:
November 2016 — 1.5 percent income tax levy
failed by approximately 600 votes
May 2017 — 1.5 percent income tax levy failed by
approximately 400 votes
November 2017 — 1.25 percent income tax levy
failed by approximately 550 votes
May 2018 — 1 percent income tax levy failed by
approximately 60 votes
November 2018 — 1 percent income tax levy failed
by approximately 350 votes
The November 2016 levy attempt was the ﬁrst operating levy put before voters since 1991 for the district.

the North was exercising
its right of self-defense
with the launches. North
Korea has never recognized the U.N. Security Council resolutions,
which it views as denying its “rights to existence and development
of a sovereign state,” the
statement said.
“If any object is
launched, it is bound
to ﬂy in trajectory,” the
statement said. It said
a demand that North
Korea ban all launches
that use ballistic technology regardless of the
range is the same as
asking it to relinquish its
right to self-defense.
The spokesperson
said Bolton was an
“ignorant” hard-liner
who throughout different U.S. administrations
pushed provocative
policies against North
Korea including
endorsements of preemptive strikes and
regime change.

reached in 1994, when
North Korea agreed to
halt its nuclear program
in exchange for U.S.
fuel aid. The deal broke
down in 2002 after U.S.
intelligence agencies
said North Korea was
continuing its pursuit
of bombs with a secret
uranium enrichment
program.
“It will be ﬁt to call
Bolton not a security adviser striving for
security but a securitydestroying adviser who
is wrecking peace and
security,” the spokesperson said. “It is not at
all strange that perverse
words always come out
from the mouth of a
structurally defective
guy, and such a human
defect deserves an earlier vanishing.”
Experts say the weapons North Korea tested
this month are new
solid-fuel missiles that
are potentially nuclear
capable and would
strengthen the North’s
ability to strike targets throughout South
Korea.

South Korea has
expressed concern that
the launches may run
against the spirit of an
inter-Korean military
agreement reached last
year to reduce tensions,
but has been eager to
downplay the signiﬁcance of the tests as it
tries to keep a positive
atmosphere for dialogue
alive. South Korea’s
presidential ofﬁce and
military have refused to
call the launches outright provocations, and
have yet to conﬁrm that
the missiles were ballistic weapons, although
most experts say they
clearly were.
“There’s no way for us
to know why National
Security Adviser Bolton
made such comments,”
said a South Korean
presidential ofﬁcial, who
asked not to be named
during a background

Monday. “There’s no
change in our ofﬁcial
stance that the South
Korean and U.S. militaries under coordination
are continuing to analyze the missiles.”

Eastern country of
Qatar. Cohen is now
serving a three-year
prison sentence for
tax evasion, lying to
Congress and campaign
ﬁnance violations.
Haney and his attorney did not respond to
interview requests.
Prosecutors also are
examining whether foreigners unlawfully contributed to the committee. Federal prosecutors
in Manhattan issued
a subpoena last year
seeking a wide range of
ﬁnancial records from
the committee, including any “communications regarding or relating to the possibility
of donations by foreign
nationals.”
The inaugural committee has denied
wrongdoing and said
its funds were fully
accounted for.
Haney, 79, has previously faced accusations that his political

gift giving is aimed at
cultivating inﬂuence.
An investigation by
House Republicans in
the late 1990s alleged
that Haney’s money and
his political pull with
senior Clinton administration ofﬁcials helped
him to get the Federal
Communications Commission to move into
an ofﬁce building that
he had a major stake
in. Haney denied any
wrongdoing and the
Justice Department
declined to pursue the
matter.
But he was charged
in 1999 with funneling about $100,000 in
illegal contributions
to President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al
Gore and other politicians, then acquitted.
A federal prosecutor
described Haney as a
sophisticated fundraiser
who hoped to impress
potential business clients with his access to
elected ofﬁcials, like
Clinton and Gore.

Truex overcomes
early problems to
win Coca-Cola 600
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. gave
team owner Joe Gibbs another reason to celebrate
at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Truex overcame an early flat tire after hitting
the wall, then broke to the front on a wild final
restart and won the Coca-Cola 600 for the second
time in four seasons Sunday night.
It was the perfect cap to a landmark week for
Gibbs and his race team. The three-time Super
Bowl champion coach was voted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Wednesday, along with two
of his race team’s championship drivers in Bobby
Labonte and Tony Stewart. But according to
Gibbs, it was Truex, in his first season with JGR,
who delivered the program’s biggest moment.
“What was Wednesday?” Gibbs responded when
asked if the race victory was bigger than the Hall
of Fame.
Gibbs broke into laughter when reminded about
his honor. “Obviously, I’m excited about tonight,”
he said with a smile.
And Truex provided much of the excitement.
He slid into the Turn 4 wall during the first
stage of NASCAR’s longest event, damaging his
tire and seemingly putting his chances in serious
jeopardy. But crew chief Cole Pearn radioed his
driver that things were not that bad and to stay
calm and remain focused.
“I thought, ‘We’re done. How we going to fix
this thing?’” Truex said. “I didn’t know how bad it
was, (but) the guys worked hard, fixed it up.”
That steadied Truex the rest of the way, especially near the end when he drove low during a
four-wide fight for the lead on the final restart at
Charlotte Motor Speedway. He had an easier time
in the 2016 race when he led 392 of 400 laps.
Truex sprang out low and shot into the front
past Kyle Busch, Ryan Newman and David Ragan,
who stretched four across the track. “You just
never know what can happen,” said Truex, who
led 116 laps this time.
Truex held off defending series champion and
Team Penske driver Joey Logano — and again
prevent owner Roger Penske from becoming the
first to helm winners at the Indianapolis 500 and
Coca-Cola 600 on motorsports biggest day.
Things began with Lewis Hamilton’s rousing
win in the Monaco Grand Prix, which he dedicated to his late friend and champion driver Niki
Lauda. Next, Simon Pagenaud gave Penske his
18th Indy 500 victory in a thrilling duel over the
final laps with Alexander Rossi.
“For us, it’s the wildest race we’ve ever won,”
Pearn said.
Truex was happy to provide his boss another
win. “To think a guy can be in the Pro Football
Hall of Fame and the NASCAR Hall of Fame just
tells you how special (Gibbs) is and I’m super honored to drive for him,” Truex said.
Pearn said the car was seriously damaged by
the early run into the wall and it took several trips
to the pits to fix the issues. Still, in victory lane,
Pearn couldn’t believe his team came out on top.
“It was crazy to see the car be that good and be

and had perhaps the
biggest moment of this
postseason when his

buzzer-beater hit the rim
four times before dropping to beat Philadelphia

“He’s been great,”
Kerr said. “Not surprising, though. He’s got his

he’s been great.”
Game 2 is in Toronto

adores the place. His ﬁrst trip
was in 1979. He had a sign to
hang over a garage — but no
idea where the garage was at
the sprawling speedway.
“I didn’t know enough to
go there on 16th (Street) and
drive under, so this guy at
the gate in a yellow shirt was
standing there, and he goes,
‘Where are you going with that
sign?’ And I said, ‘I want to get
in the garage area.’ So he said,
‘I’ll open the gate for you.’ So
he unlocked the gate and let me
in. I didn’t have a credential. I
didn’t know where I was going.
“I said, ‘Which way is the
garage area?’ I think he thought
I was crazy, but we had a good
time. That was the ﬁrst time I
was here, 40 years ago. Been

Pagenaud made it all worth

line and rumors swirling that
Alexander Rossi could soon
replace him at Team Penske.
But the Frenchman is leaving
with a pair of wins, his face
soon to be engraved on the
Borg-Warner trophy as the
Indy 500 champion and with an
assurance from Penske himself
that he isn’t going anywhere.
“Do I even have to answer

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Roger Penske celebrated his
50th anniversary in the Indianapolis 500 with his 18th victory.
Along for the ride was sponsor John Menard, like Penske
celebrating nearly a lifetime of
annual trips to the fabled race.
Unlike his old friend, he has
had little success in the one
event everyone wants to win.
Menard ﬁnally reached victory lane Sunday with Penske
and Simon Pagenaud, their
car sponsored by his Midwestbased home improvement
chain. Pagenaud held off Alexander Rossi in a frantic shootout that included ﬁve swaps of
the lead in the ﬁnal 13 laps.
Menard was breathless
watching the action and overwhelmed when it was over.
“You ever watch that movie
called ‘The Candidate,’ when
that guy works and works and
works and ﬁnally gets elected?”
Menard asked. “After the election, he won, and he gazed into
the mirror and says, ‘What the
hell do I do now?’ That’s the
way I feel. We’ll go try to win
another one.”
Menard was serious. He
hopped on a plane and headed
to Charlotte Motor Speedway

the win came the 50th anniversary of Penske’s arrival at the
Brickyard.
Pagenaud and Rossi swapped
the lead ﬁve times over the

of victory was a mere 0.2086
seconds — the seventh-closest
ﬁnish in the 103 years of the
race.
Pagenaud was dominant all
day, leading 116 of the 200
laps, and the win was cathartic. He stopped his car at the
start-ﬁnish line and hopped
out to share his ﬁrst Indy 500
win with his fans. And once
he ﬁnally made his way to victory lane, Pagenaud climbed
from his car and let out a primal scream, then dumped the
entire bottle of celebratory milk
over his head.
“I never expected to be in
this position,” Pagenaud said,
“and I certainly am grateful.”
President Donald Trump
phoned Penske in victory lane
from Japan, where he was
meeting with Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe over trade. Penske
passed the phone to Pagenaud,
and Trump later tweeted an
invite to the White House for
the winning team.

It was a banner day, too,

times in the race, but the Californian had better fuel mileage
than Pagenaud and the Penske

Pagenaud was in a Chevrolet, and the bowtie brand was
the dominant engine all May.
It swept the top four spots in
qualifying, won the race and
took four of the top six spots.
Pagenaud is the ﬁrst Frenchman to win the Indy 500 since
Rene Thomas in 1914. He was
the 21st winner form the pole
and ﬁrst since Helio Castroneves a decade ago.
As he began the traditional

US women beat Mexico 3-0
HARRISON, N.J. (AP)
— Fans spelled out the
message at the end of the
national anthem, unfurling a huge banner behind
the goal on the south end
of Red Bull Arena: “ONE
FOR ALL AND ALL
FOR FOUR” it read, with
a large gold star in the
center.
Ten prep games for
the U.S. women’s soccer
team this year ended with
an unimpressive 3-0 win
over Mexico in a send-off
match on Sunday. The
Americans travel to England on Monday and will
work out at Tottenham’s
training grounds before
heading to France on
June 7, four days before
starting their World Cup
title defense against Thailand.
“We want to win
everything. We want to
win every game,” said
midﬁelder Megan Rapinoe, her spiky hair newly
dyed pink. “It’s going to
be extremely tough. It’s
going to be a grueling
tournament. But, yeah,
like I said, the expectation for us is always to
win.”
Seeking their fourth
World Cup title, the
top-ranked Americans
have seven wins and two

draws since a Jan. 19
loss at France, outscoring opponents 28-8. That
defeat ended a 28-game
unbeaten streak and the
current run has been
largely against lesser
opponents, but conﬁdence is high. After playing No. 34 Thailand, the
U.S. closes group play
against 39th-ranked Chile
and No. 9 Sweden.
“Pressure is starting
to build, and I think for
us it’s just getting more
real and that’s why we’re
excited to go over to London because we’re going
to be away from all the
distractions and it’s just
going to be us and the
tournament ahead,” star
forward Alex Morgan
said.
During training next
week in London, more
focus is likely to be a few
pitches away on a Spurs
side preparing for its ﬁrst
Champions League ﬁnal,
against Liverpool on June
1. Team bonding will be
as important as training.
“So much of it is
a mindset and an
approach,” U.S. coach
Jill Ellis said. “There’s
a lot of good teams and
we’re all aware of that,
but want to be the team
to beat.”

Mexico failed to qualify
after consecutive group
stage eliminations, is
ranked 26th and ﬁelded a
relatively inexperienced
team mixed with a few
veterans. But while the
Americans had a 25-3
advantage in shots —
including 11-0 on target
— they struggled to
score against an inferior
rival.
Tobin Heath was gifted
her 30th international
goal in the 11th minute
when she ran onto a pass
from goalkeeper Cecilia
Santiago to unaware
defender Rebeca Bernal.
After the U.S. misﬁred in front of the net
on a hot afternoon that
displayed failings more
than facets, the Americans pulled away on the
strength of second-half
substitutes. Mallory Pugh
knocked in a short cross
from New Jersey native
Carli Lloyd in the 76th
minute for her 16th goal.
Twelve minutes later,
Christen Press took a
pass from Julie Ertz,
spun and faked a defender to score from the top
of the penalty area for
her 48th.
“We can deﬁnitely be
sharper in the ﬁnal pass
and inside 18,” Ellis said.

Cavs owner Dan Gilbert recovering
CLEVELAND (AP)
— Cavaliers owner and
billionaire businessman
Dan Gilbert is recovering
after suffering symptoms
of a stroke and seeking
hospital care.
Ofﬁcials with Detroitbased Quicken Loans said
in a statement that Gilbert “received immediate
medical attention and is
currently recovering comfortably” after going to a
Detroit-area hospital early
Sunday with “stroke-like
symptoms.” Gilbert is the
company’s founder and
chairman.
No other details were
provided on Gilbert’s
condition, a diagnosis
or prognosis. The company said Gilbert’s family

requests privacy at this
time.
Gilbert has owned the
Cavs since 2005.
The 57-year-old introduced new Cavs coach
John Beilein at a press
conference Tuesday at the
team’s training facility in
Independence, Ohio.
His hospitalization
comes a month before his
Rocket Mortgage is to
host Detroit’s ﬁrst PGA
Tour event. It also follows his launch of a ballot drive just days earlier
to push auto insurance
reform in Michigan. The
state Legislature passed
a landmark insurance
reform bill Friday.
While best known as
the Cavs’ sometimes out-

spoken owner, Gilbert is
connected to numerous
business ventures that

Brandon DeWees is a Certiﬁed Family Nurse Practitioner who was raised in the
town of Mason, West Virginia. Brandon is pleased to offer medical services to
the people who live in the community that raised him. Brandon has experience
in urgent care, emergency medicine, and psychiatry. He started his nursing career during his senior year at Wahama High School as a state tested nursing
assistant in a rehabilitation center. He then worked at an urgent care center
through college as he gained his Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2009 with
a minor in psychology and a Master of Science in Nursing in 2013, both from
Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia.
“I’m excited to transition from the Express Care setting to an office setting.
As a primary care provider, patients can now establish medical care with
me. It’s my privilege to open new avenues of care for patients to help them
along their healthcare journey,” Brandon DeWees, FNP-C.
Brandon provides walk-in sick visits for newborns and older and will establish
care for people 13 years of age and older. While Brandon does schedule and
keep appointments, he’s also happy to take care of walk-in patients without
an appointment.
