RIO GRANDE — According to information provided by unnamed faculty sources, the faculty body at the University of Rio Grande took a vote of no confidence in both the boards of trustees of the respective institutions on April 18 in how they run Rio Grande Community College and the University of Rio Grande. In a letter describing the body’s reason for no confidence, the text states the faculty takes issue with four points it alleges as “financial mismanagement,”“lack of continuity in campus leadership,”“failure to enact a long-term strategic plan,” and “failure to collaboratively govern” the college and university. While the University of Rio Grande is legally a private entity and Rio Grande Community College is legally public, both are considered to function as a single institution, described the statement. RGCC collects public money and contracts with URG for its instructional services. Students get a reduced tuition amount for their first two years of study and final year coursework charges a higher tuition, which the letter states is meant to mirror other community and private institutions. The “structure is intended to provide students with a high quality, affordable and seamless education…” The See RIO | 5A Commissioners praise indigent defense budget proposal By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners passed a resolution on Thursday thanking and praising the work of the Ohio Governor and House of Representatives regarding funding for indigent defense in Ohio. At the same time, the resolution asked the Ohio Senate to adopt the House recommendation on the matter. Commissioner Randy Smith, who also serves on the County Commissioners Association of Ohio Board of Directors, said that indigent defense funding had been one of the items that the CCAO had looked at early in the year and was part of the lobbying task force’s focus. When Governor Mike DeWine released his budget proposal in March he called for an additional $60 million to be provided each fiscal year (the budget is for two years) to the counties to be used for indigent defense reimbursement. The House of Representatives proposal kept that amount, and added an additional $35 million in State Fiscal Year 21 for indigent defense. According to law, a court appointed attorney is to be provided to a defendant who meets the requirements to be classified as “indigent” or unable to pay for an attorney. In Meigs County, court-appointed attorneys can be appointed in Common Pleas, County and Juvenile Court. The county contracts with local attorney Charles Knight for county and juvenile court, while there are contracts with several attorneys in common pleas court. The Ohio Public Defender’s Office also handles some of the court appointed attorney cases in the county. Had the proposed budget changes been in place last year, Smith said it would have saved the county more than $100,000 in 2018 alone. Smith said that indigent defense, according to the Constitution and a Supreme Court ruling should have been paid for by the state, but that many years ago it was set by the stated that it would be a 50-50 split between the county and the state, with the state to reimburse 50 percent of the cost, while funding was available. In recent years, the reimbursement rate has been closer to 40 See BUDGET | 7A Photos by Kayla Hawthorne | Courtesy Campers spend time in Little Leading Creek looking for bugs and other creatures with Cynthia Bauers from Hocking College.

OHIO VALLEY — Ohio Valley Publishing has received recognition from the West Virginia Press Association (WVPA) for its 2018 Community Pride and Progress Edition, “Made in the Ohio Valley.” OVP editorial staff were recognized with a second place finish in the Best Special Section category, in its division, in the WVPA’a annual newspaper contest. Awards will be formally presented at the WV Press Convention in Morgantown, W.Va., Aug. 2-3. At 48 pages, the “Made in the Ohio Valley” spe- cial section was one of the largest in OVP’s recent history and focused on ideas, items and people only found in the readership area of Mason, Gallia and Meigs counties. The judges comments read, “The most readable, engaging writing and subject matter. The photos are better than the other offerings.” “Made in the Ohio Valley” consisted of work by OVP Editor Beth Sergent, The Daily Sentinel Managing Editor Sarah Hawley, Senior Reporter Dean Wright from the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Reporter Erin Perkins from the Point Pleasant Register, former Reporter Morgan McKinniss and longtime OVP freelance writers, Mindy Kearns and Lorna Hart. Both Kearns and Hart are also former employees of OVP. The design work was done by Catie South with AIM Media Midwest which owns the Point Pleasant Register, The Daily Sentinel and Gallipolis Daily Tribune. “‘Made in the Ohio Valley’ is a project I am extremely proud of because it highlighted our area of Appalachia for its artisans, artists and ideas often in danger of being overlooked,” Sergent said. “Given the amount of additional work that goes into the annual Progress editions, from both editorial and OVP’s advertising staff, this recognition is even more meaningful because it’s shared as truly a team effort.” Last year, OVP also took home a second place award for Best Special Section from WVPA for its “Remembering the Silver Bridge Tragedy, 50 years later.” �NEWS/OBITUARIES 2A Sunday, June 9, 2019 Meigs County Retired Teachers Association meets POMEROY — The Meigs County Retired Teachers Association met May 23 for a noon luncheon at the Trinity Congregational Church.

That morning, our fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers set forth from Britain on thousands of planes and boats, many of them no older than 18. It was the largest amphibious invasion in history, and the outcome was far from certain. The Nazis had spent two years fortifying the coast to prepare for this moment. The beautiful coastline of Northern France was covered in barbed wire, landmines, and bunkers. The stakes couldn’t have been higher. Erwin Rommel, who was leading the Nazi defense, said at the time, “the fate of Germany Rob Portman depends on…the first 24 hours of Contributing the invasion.” Historian Douglas Brinkley says that D-Day was “the columnist single most important day of the 20th Century.” When our men landed on Omaha and Utah beaches, the sand littered with barricades, they were met with a deluge of bullets from the Nazis overlooking the sea. Many fell on the beach that day, but still more pushed on, up the cliffs and eventually through France, Belgium and Germany. That includes many Ohioans, like Eugene Lyons of University Heights. Eugene was a medic. His ship hit a mine in the English Channel and sank off the coast. As Eugene came ashore on the beaches of France, a German plane shot at him, missing him by a matter of inches. That includes Edward Bartkiewicz of Parma. He was an Army Ranger who was one of the legendary “Boys of Pointe du Hoc.” These Rangers grappled and climbed up rocky cliffs 80 to 100 feet high to take out the deadly German artillery that was shooting down on the beaches. That includes Jim “Pee Wee” Martin of Dayton. He parachuted behind German lines before dawn making him one of the first Americans to land that day. He was wounded and received both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for his service. Sadly, more than 10,000 Allied troops did not make it through that brutal day. Today many of them rest in orderly rows of crosses and Stars of David in American military cemeteries in France, forever guarding the lands and values they gave their lives defending. Meanwhile, back home in Ohio, people were united in praying for these brave young men. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took to the airwaves, as you’d expect a president to do in such a dangerous and crucial mission. Rather than give one of his trademark “fireside chats,” however, he chose to do something different: he led the nation in a prayer that he wrote himself. One passage in particular from the prayer that has always resonated with me was when Roosevelt said, “…these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people.” And that has been our tradition as a country. America is a nation of liberators, not a nation of conquerors. The memorable words from the D-Day prayer brought our country together. It strengthened our resolve, and it comforted us at a difficult time. In just a few hundred words, President Roosevelt asked for a blessing upon our troops, and spoke of our purpose in the war, as well as our purpose as a country, and his words made an indelible mark on our history. It is an important part of our past to hold up for future generations. That’s why I authored legislation to place a permanent plaque inscribed with the words of FDR’s Prayer near the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Five years ago, shortly after the 70th anniversary of D-Day, then-President Obama signed this legislation into law. Although it has taken a while, we have made progress on the plaque – the National Park Service and the two commissions that must approve additions to the National Mall have finally approved the WWII Memorial’s Circle of Remembrance as the site, and the design concepts have been approved. While we continue to wait for the permanent plaque to be placed, on D-Day this year, I was proud to lead an event at the Circle of Remembrance where we read FDR’s prayer and previewed what the plaque would look like. I am looking forward to seeing the final plaque installed soon. Rob Portman (R-Cincinnati) represents Ohio in the United States Senate. THEIR VIEW Any day is a good day to hug Dad Have you hugged your dad today? Yeah, it’s corny, but just do it. I can’t. Dad died in his sleep one afternoon in 2007. He told Mom he didn’t feel good, went to the bedroom to take a nap and never woke up. This isn’t a tale of deep regret over things left unresolved. Dad and I had a good relationship. But there’s always more to say, more to show, more to share. We didn’t see each other as much in my adulthood as I had hoped we would. Soon after I graduated from Ohio State and got my first job, Dad retired. They sold their house in Lima and moved to Tennessee, where Mom grew up. While Lima was about an hour and a half from my job – an easy after-work drive to and fro – Tennessee was about six and a half hours one way. it’s not the same Since I worked as being there. six days a week, Mom was the betthat left vacation ter communicator weeks as the primaof the three of us; ry visits.

Mom’s death was the opposite of Dad’s, dying slowly as dementia dug in and bones degenerated. One gone fast, one gone slow. Sometimes things just happen. It’s not your fault, it’s not their fault.

The URG Board has already engaged in substantive efforts to resolve difficult issues. As an example, in November of 2018, the trustees of the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College met together for a shared board retreat to discuss how the Boards could work together more closely and potentially combine to become one board. This potential resolution was reviewed by legal parties and members of both boards, resulting in a conclusive decision that due to legal considerations, the two boards could not become consolidated into one board. Recommendations are currently being examined by both boards as to how the Boards can better work together in the future…” Ervin said the URG board members met after the vote with the URG Faculty Association and Faculty Assembly to discuss concerns and solutions to those concerns and encourage continued participation in board meetings. “Working together, I am confident we can ensure a bright future for Rio students and the community,” read the statement from Ervin. “The URG Board of Trustees is committed to working diligently to provide support to all our stakeholders; students, faculty, staff and the community.” Chair of the RGCC Board of Trustees Paul Reed released in a statement that he commended the faculty for expressing concerns and “demanding excellence from the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College.” He goes on to describe that the current structure of RGCC and URG is a dual institutions therefore have their own respective boards. “The URG faculty body has demonstrated a clear commitment to working diligently and collaboratively with the administration to weather these challenges and to ensure the long-term viability of the institution,” further states the letter. “However, it is now evident that these challenges are due to failings of the two-board system to govern the institution effectively, and it is now incumbent upon the faculty to express unequivocal concern. Immediate transformative changes are needed within the governing boards.” Under financial mismanagement the body says, “Considering our institutional finances are primarily supported by tuition revenue, accurate enrollment predictions are the crux of judicious budgetary management. The persistent pattern in budget deficits, which have been observed and compounded for over a decade, is indicative of chronically over-inflated enrollment projections. Regional, state, and local trends from a decade ago should have resulted in cautious institutional budgets based on decreased enrollment projections. The state of Ohio predicted a 12% decline in high school graduates from 2009 to 2022, with college enrollment in the entire Appalachian region being predicted to continue to lag behind state and national enrollment, and the K-12 enrollments throughout the surrounding four-county region were predicted to be flat as well. However, the institution’s annual budgets over this period were repeatedly based on projected increases in enrollment, leading to persistent and severe budget deficits. This trend has continued…” Under lack of continuity in campus leadership the body says, “Continuity in leadership is critical to the institution’s ability to understand and advance its central mission, and for long-term strategic planning. In recent years, the institution has suffered from a severe degree of administrative turnover that has perpetually stalled critical transformative changes for more than a decade. Since 2006, shared institutional vision due to the divided nature of RGCC/URG and their different agendas results in the boards often working against each other and not with each other. As a recent example, the hiring of the jointly appointed interim president to govern the institution was immediately met with the promotion and expansion of responsibilities for the head administrator of RGCC, indicating an initial lack of confidence in the jointly appointed president. This is but one example of subversive strategies that have been a chronic threat to the institution, hindering the development of a sustainable model for our academic services. And at a time when significant cuts to academic programs and faculty positions are occurring, and URG is struggling to make payments on an old pension plan and to adequately maintain campus facilities, RGCC is holding significant reserves for future needs and in fear of mismanagement. This serves as further evidence of a deep schism and incoherency in operational strategies and institutional management. There is a systemic frailty in cohesive governance between the two boards. As a result, the current identity of the institution is wholly unclear.” Reporters from Ohio Valley Publishing received statements from board members with RGCC and URG following questions about the no-confidence declaration. “…The University of Rio Grande Board of Trustees has pledged to make positive steps toward improving communications with the University of Rio Grande faculty and the Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees,” read a statement from URG’s Board of Trustees Chair Kay Ervin. “This pledge is being faithfully acted upon, and although a faculty vote of no confidence in the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College’s Boards of Trustees occurred on April 18, we will continue to communicate in a positive and constructive manner.” Ervin’s statement continued: “…The University of Rio Grande’s Board of Trustees has heard the sentiments of the faculty members and is committed to working together in a constructive manner for the benefit of the communities and students served result of “what is written in the Ohio Revised Code.” He calls it an “antiquated solution that worked years ago but doesn’t allow for the institutions to operate at their best today.” “Over the last several decades the University of Rio Grande has seen a decline in enrollment; at its peak serving thousands of students to just under 400 today,” continues Reed in the statement. “Meanwhile, with over 1,200 students enrolled, Rio Grande Community College underwrites the operations of the University of Rio Grande to the tune of nearly $14 million per year. Further, Rio Grande Community College has responded to the needs of our communities with the development of the centers in Jackson, Vinton and Meigs counties. This development has allowed us to serve students’ needs where they are, giving needed access to education in our communities. In 2018 the two boards, recognizing the need to work with one voice, attempted to construct a way to operate as one board. However, the law requires that governing authority of the community college remain with the appointed trustees and prohibits a joint board of governance. We are currently tied to this broken and antiquated structure that served a different landscape of higher education when it was created in the 1970s.” “The current arrangement was designed to allow the public board of Rio Grande Community College to contract with the private board of the University of Rio Grande for operational services,” continues the statement. “Under this arrangement, the community college contracts for services to the tune of 96% of public funds being used to purchase instructional services from the private institution. A major shortcoming of the current structure is that while the community college brings in the majority of the operating revenue and is responsible for 75% of the students, the community college’s board has no ability to hire the top administration of our combined institutions and by design, has no authority over the operating decisions that impact our students. Furthermore, Rio Grande Community College is required by law to maintain reserves and is restricted by state law in the ways those reserves can be spent.” Reed’s statement concluded: “The Board of the Rio Grande Community College knows that business as usual is leading to failure and wants to work with the University of Rio Grande Board and the Ohio legislature to build a solution beneficial to our students and our community. These institutions do not belong to any one board or administration, they belong to us all. As such, we must set aside ideas of how it used to be, roll up our sleeves and get to work for the good of our beloved Rio and to ensure the health of both institutions.” According to information obtained from URG and RGCC Interim President Dr. Catherine Clark and the institutions’ Office of Institutional Research, “From Fall, 2014 to Fall, 2018 the Rio Grande Community College headcount declined by 23% from 1769 to 1365; the University of Rio Grande headcount declined by 11% from 459 to 409.” (Editor’s note: Ohio Valley Publishing did reach out to faculty representatives for comment regarding this article.

The institution needs a clear operational identity. Pivotal decisions have been made in the past—and are still being made—without any clear justification or rationale and without a sense of how any of the decisions work in tandem to promote the institution into its future. Without a current, comprehensive strategic plan, our leadership relies on reactionary decisions to solve shortterm problems when our institution—as with any other sustainable organization—needs a focused plan for success, identifiable short-, mid-, and longterm goals, and leadership with the vision, experience, and ability to create transformational change, maintain sustainability, and promote growth…” Under failure to collaboratively govern the body says, “It is our belief that each of the above grievances emanate from an inability of the two boards to govern collaboratively. A single institution of higher education cannot be effectively governed by two separate boards of trustees with two separate focuses that have a systemic lack of collaboration between them. This is the primary challenge facing our institution. Many interactions between the two boards are best described as contentious. Fiscal management, public transparency, and academic oversight have been recurring and unresolved issues of contention between the two boards.

Lineup for Ariel’s 30th season Staff Report GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Ohio Valley Symphony is tuning up for its 30th season in the Ariel Opera House with guest maestros and friends both old and new. The season opener, “Opera Gala-polis” features acclaimed mezzosoprano Katherine Rohrer under the able direction of Maestro Steven Huang. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 14. According to information provided by the Ariel Opera House, Maestro Huang has conducted orchestras and operas across the country and throughout the world. At the age of 21, he served as Music Director of the Bach Society Orchestra of Harvard University, where he received his undergraduate degree. While at Harvard, Huang also directed the Lowell House Opera (the oldest continuously running opera company in New England), in a critically acclaimed production of Kurt Weill’s “The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny.” He is also an associate professor at the nearby Ohio University in Athens. Balancing the rigors of traditional and mainstream repertoire with some of today’s most celebrated composers, Rohrer, mezzo-soprano, garnered critical acclaim in recent performances as Nicklausse/Muse in “Les Contes d’Hoffmann” with Opera Colorado and Florida Grand Opera, Marguerite in “La Damnation de Faustwith Oper Frankfurt,” the Malaysian Berens’ multi-faceted career gives testament to his lifelong quest to learn, perform and write music. So far, his venture has led him through the worlds of classical guitar, jazz guitar, orchestral guitar, arranging, orchestration, composition, and conducting. During his years as the guitarist for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Berens played guitar, banjo, mandolin and bouzouki on concerts, recordings, television programs, and tours. Beginning in the late 1990’s, Berens began arranging for the CPO, eventually becoming the orchestra’s principal arranger. His arrangements are regularly performed in venues from Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center to the Photo by Jessica Sisson and Courtesy Ariel Opera House Hollywood Bowl.

Junior catcher Dylan Shockley (Minford, OH) and senior pitcher Zack Harvey (Kenova, W.Va.) both earned second team honors, while freshman second baseman Clayton Surrell (Carroll, OH) was among those receiving an honorable mention selection. The teams were selected by the NAIA-Baseball Coaches’ Association All-America Committee. The first and second teams are also recognized as ABCA/Rawlings All-Americans by the American Baseball Coaches Association and Rawlings Sporting Goods. The ABCA began recognizing All-Americans in 1949 and named the first ABCA NAIA All-America team in 1969. Shockley was named the River States Conference Player of the Year for the second consecutive season after leading the RedStorm to a 39-21 record, a conference tournament championship and an NAIA National Tournament berth. Shockley batted .373 with five home runs and 46 runs batted in. He also had 23 doubles, five triples, 43 walks, a .594 slugging percentage and a .495 on-base percentage. Shockley led the RSC in batting average, doubles, triples and on-base percentage, while ranking second in total hits (81) and sixth in slugging percentage. Harvey earned RSC Pitcher of the Year honors by posting a 13-3 record with a 2.86 earned run average, four complete games and three shutouts in 17 appearances. The right-hander allowed 97 hits over 104 innings pitched, while walking just 26 batters and striking out 128. Harvey’s 13 wins and 128 strikeouts established new single-season school records. The 13 wins also ranked second nationally. Harvey also became the school’s all-time strikeout leader, while tying the school record for career shutouts. Surrell led the RedStorm in hits (84) and runs scored (60), while ranking second on the team in batting (.368), RBIs (48) and doubles (21). He also stole 23 bases. Surrell, like Shockley and Harvey a first team All-RSC honoree, also made 14 appearances as a pitcher, finishing with a 4-2 record, one save and a 3.89 ERA. Aaron Shackelford of The Master’s (Calif.) and Colton Williams of Science & Arts (Okla.) headlined the All-American team as the National Player of the Year and National Pitcher of the Year, respectively. Shackelford ended his season third on the all-time list in the NAIA with 36 home runs. The senior was ranked No. 1 in the nation in nine offensive categories including home runs, home runs per game (.692), runs scored per game (1.596), runs batted in per game (1.904), total RBI (99) and slugging percentage (1.096). Williams ended his season at the Avista NAIA World Series and was a member of the all-tournament team with one win and a 2.40 ERA on the biggest stage of NAIA Baseball. Throughout the season, Williams tossed over 108 innings and held batters to a .186 average with a 1.33 ERA. The Houston, Texas native led the nation in wins with 16 and allowed just five earned runs over the course of the season, good enough for fifth in the NAIA in that category.

The Wahama baseball team netted three selections to the 2019 Class A West Virginia Sports Writers Association allstate teams — as voted on by a select panel of media members throughout the Mountain State. The White Falcons ended the year with a 24-8 overall mark and defeated Williamstown in 2-of-3 outings to secure the program’s first regional appearance since completing back-toback championship runs three years ago. The Red and White, for those efforts, mustered a trio of selections for their regional resurgence … including two repeat honorees and a single newcomer to the all-state ranks. Senior David Hendrick — a previous two-time honorable mention selection — was named a second team outfielder in Class A after a season in which he hit .404 with 40 hits and 15 RBIs.

She also had 10 doubles and a .513 slugging percentage. As a pitcher, Conkey posted a 16-6 record with two saves and a 1.97 earned run average.

Conkey allowed 124 hits over 142 innings, while walking just 24 and striking out 105. The NFCA honored 192 players from 71 schools, selecting two 16-player teams in each of the country’s six NAIA regions. Two schools placed the maximum eight players on their respective All-Region team, including national runner-up Oklahoma City University in Region III and last year’s NAIA titlist University of Sciences & Arts of Oklahoma in Region IV. Both schools placed seven of those eight on the first team. Meanwhile, Georgia Gwinnett College and Marian University (Ind.) both had seven players selected, and first-time national champion Southern Oregon University, the University of Mobile, and Olivet Nazarene University all had six honorees apiece. Six schools had five players on their respective All-Region squad, while one had four, 12 schools had three, 29 had two, and 15 had one player chosen.

After landing on the all-district second team as a junior, Harmon moved up to the first team and was named Division IV Player of the Year as a senior. In his final campaign with the Purple and Gold, Harmon had offensive career-highs across the board, with a .469 batting average, 38 hits, 35 RBIs, 29 runs, 19 walks and a .568 on-base percentage. Harmon also appeared in 10 games as a pitcher this past spring, earning a 5-1 record with 64 strikeouts and a a 1.46 earned-run average.

He’s all about baseball and the program, and he always has been.

He believes new teammate Odell Beckham Jr. will help him expedite the process. “Just going up against him in practice is going to boost my game 10 times better and show me what I need to work on against great receivers like him,” the second-round pick said Thursday. “He’s a different receiver and he’s one of the top guys — if not No. 1 — in the league, so it’s definitely a booster for me.” Williams continued to work with the first-string defense as Cleveland wrapped up its three-day, mandatory minicamp with a spirited, indoor practice. Three-time Pro Bowl wideout Beckham only participated in individual drills, but maintained a vocal presence throughout the 75-minute session. He was acquired in a March 13 trade with the Giants and suited up for the first time this week. “Playing one of the top receivers in the NFL, when you first get out there you don’t know what to expect,” Williams said of his fellow Louisiana State product. “But after a while getting to go against him, you kind of know what type of guy he is. He’s one of those receivers that you don’t really want to face man to man every play.” Williams has already survived his initial challenge — and crisis of confidence — as a professional. It occurred at rookie minicamp, where the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder struggled badly in coverage and questioned him- self: “Am I fit for this? It was bad.” Browns coach Freddie Kitchens noted his much improved performance at this minicamp, which included two interceptions of Baker Mayfield, one of them a pick-6 in a two-minute drill. “Greedy did a good job of pushing through that in the spring and the whole time here,” Kitchens said. “That is what the NFL is about. You have to push through. You have to play the next play. You have to have more confidence in yourself than anybody around you has. Greedy is going to be fine.” Cleveland envisions Williams, a secondteam All-American, and second-year pro Denzel Ward as its long-term starters at cornerback. The 21-year-old Williams is already leaning on the 22-year-old Ward for advice, much of it about life off the field. Kitchens has also stressed to him that rookies are expected to keep a low profile until they earn the right to speak up. Williams predicted the Browns would reach the Super Bowl during his post-draft press conference, much to the displeasure of their coaches. The Shreveport, Louisiana native has taken all of their messages to heart, going as far as muting his notorious trash-talking skills for now. “I’m still in my humble stage, man,” Williams said, flashing the warm smile that is becoming his trademark. “I’m just taking it serious, understanding this is a business, understanding this is a job. I just want to be the best and gain my team’s trust. It’s on from there.” lead in Riverside senior league Staff Report MASON, W.Va. — With three weeks remaining in the first half of play, Kenny Pridemore, of Point Pleasant, holds the lead in the senior men’s golf league at Riverside Golf Club in Mason County.

(AP) — The biggest challenge of this fiveyear run for the Golden State Warriors has arrived. Win three in a row, two of them on the road — or else. It is quite the predicament, and one that they’ve never faced in the NBA Finals. Golden State is on the brink of being dethroned as champions, after a 10592 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night put the Warriors in a 3-1 hole in this title series. Game 5 is Monday in Toronto, which will spend the next three days in delirious anticipation of seeing the Larry O’Brien Trophy getting hoisted on Canadian soil. “It’s not over,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. “It’s not a good feeling right now, obviously, but we have been on both sides of it. And for us it’s an opportunity for us to just flip this whole series on its head, and you got to do it one game at a time. It sounds cliche — and for us that is literally the only way we’re going to get back in this series — is give everything we got for 48 minutes, everybody that sets foot on that floor in Game 5.” They’ve been down 3-1 before, back in 2016 in the Western Conference finals against Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City. But they needed to win only once on the road to pull off that comeback. “You just try to win one game,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “That’s what we did a few years ago against OKC. Win one game, and then you move forward. So that’s our focus now. We’ll fly to Toronto (Saturday) and take a look at the film, see what we can do better and try to win a game. We have won a lot of games over the years, so we’ll try to win another one.” Kerr is fond of saying that the Warriors have seen everything in these five seasons. They have now, anyway. They’ve blown a 3-1 lead — the 2016 NBA Finals against Cleveland, falling twice at home in that collapse. But the Warriors’ collapse that year was due in part to Andrew Bogut getting hurt in Game 5 and Draymond Green losing his cool and earning a onegame suspension. The Raptors have no such injury concerns, no such behavioral matters to deal with right now. “They’re a great team,” Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. They’ve rallied from 3-1 down. But they’re 1-5 against the Raptors this season, and now need to win three in a row against a team that has had all the answers against them. “We haven’t done anything yet,” Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said. The Raptors are as poised as can be. They were in trouble in each of the first three rounds of these playoffs — down 1-0 to Orlando, down 2-1 to Philadelphia, down 2-0 to Milwaukee. It steeled them. Toronto got better every step of the way. Golden State looked the exact opposite on Friday night. The Warriors are still without Kevin Durant, endured a night where Curry struggled, and where their biggest boosts came from Thompson returning from a balky hamstring and Kevon Looney playing through the pain of a cartilage injury in his upper body. The Warriors made a run. Curry’s 3-pointer with 3 minutes left pulled Golden State within eight and gave the Warriors a chance. They scored three points the rest of the way. “You got to win three games in a row,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “We have won three games in a row before. However you got to get that done, you just got to get it done.” They may have walked off the court at Oracle Arena for the last time, with the team moving across the bay to San Francisco and the brand-new Chase Center next season. �SPORTS 4B Sunday, June 9, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel Leonard, Raptors move within victory of first championship OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kawhi Leonard’s hot hand is sending the Raptors home to Toronto on the cusp of a startling upset for Canada. Leonard outdueled the Splash Brothers for 36 points and 12 rebounds, and the Raptors moved within a victory of the franchise’s first championship by winning a second straight game on Golden State’s home floor, beating the Warriors 105-92 on Friday night for a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Klay Thompson made a strong return after missing Game 3 with a strained left hamstring and scored 28 points with six 3-pointers in what might have been the final game after 47 seasons at Oracle Arena before the team’s move to new Chase Center in San Francisco next season. Stephen Curry added 27 points but shot just 9 for 22 and 2 of 9 from 3-point range on the heels of his postseason careerbest 47-point outing in a 123-109 Game 3 defeat. Serge Ibaka scored 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting in 22 minutes off the bench for the composed and confident Raptors, who for a second straight game found an answer to every Warriors threat at raucous Oracle — where home fans were stunned and silenced when the final buzzer sounded. A huge section of Toronto fans then broke into singing “O Canada!” “It’s awesome,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “Our fans travel really well in the regular season. We get this a lot on the road. It’s really amazing. It’s Canada’s team, and Canadians from all over the country are traveling down and making plans when we play in Tony Avelar | AP Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (2) passes the ball in front of Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (11) during the second ATTLES’ PRESENCE half of Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Oakland, Calif., on Friday. The Raptors won 105-92 to lead the series 3-1. Florida or California or Detroit especially.” The two-time defending champions’ quest for a three-peat is suddenly in serious jeopardy. Toronto will take its first try at the title in Game 5 on Monday night back at Scotiabank Arena. Golden State, still hopeful of injured star Kevin Durant’s return, must stave off elimination to guarantee one more game at Oracle. It would be next Thursday. “It’s not over. It’s not a good feeling right now, obviously,” Curry said. “We’ve been on both sides of it and for us it’s an opportunity to flip this whole series on its head.” Leonard’s 2017 postseason with San Antonio got cut short against the Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals after he re-injured his troublesome left ankle when Zaza Pachulia’s foot slid under his.

Warriors: The Warriors’ streak this year of 19 straight postseason games scoring 100 points ended. It was 25 dating to last season’s run. … Golden State fell to 4-2 this postseason in games following a loss. … Livingston played in his 100th career playoff game with the Warriors, the fifth in team history to reach the mark. … The Warriors held a closed pregame shootaround 2 1/2 hours before game time. Leonard’s two jumpers in the final 42 seconds of the third put the Raptors up 79-64 heading into the final 12 minutes. Fred VanVleet then dealt another dagger on the first possession of the fourth with a 30-footer. A bloodied VanVleet then went to the locker room with 9:35 left after being hit in the face by Shaun Livingston’s left elbow when the Warriors guard went up for a shot and VanVleet was just behind him. Replays showed a tooth in the middle of the key even after play resumed. These poised Raptors kept level heads again after falling behind by 11 points in the first half. Pascal Siakam scored 19 for Toronto. Two days earlier, Kyle Lowry was praised for staying calm when shoved on the sideline by Warriors minority owner Mark Stevens, who received a one-year ban by the team and NBA along with a $500,000 fine for the incident. Now, the Raptors as first-time finalists and in their 24th year of existence can bring Canada its first NBA championship. The Warriors, the only team to blow a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, are confident they can overcome that deficit. “I’ve been on the wrong side of 3-1 before. Why not make our own history?” Golden State’s Draymond Green said. Toronto outscored Golden State 37-21 in the decisive third, a complete reverse of the Warriors’ dominance after halftime with an 18-0 run in the Game 2 victory. Green delivered another impressive all-around performance with 10 points, 12 assists, nine rebounds, two blocks and a steal. Warriors coach Steve Kerr challenged his team to do a better job defensively and Golden State did so early but couldn’t handle Toronto’s depth. Kevon Looney, a key backup big man, scored 10 points for the Warriors after it was initially believed he would be out the remainder of the series because of fractured cartilage near his right collarbone. He was hurt in the first half of Game 2. Looney drew huge applause as he checked into the game at the 6:45 mark of the first. Danny Green, who hit six 3s in Game 3, began 0 for 6 with five missed 3s before finally connecting from deep midway through the fourth. His 48th 3-pointer in the finals tied him with Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher for seventh place on the NBA list. Hall of Famer Al Attles, the Warriors’ former general manager, coach and player, attended Game 4 . It was the first game in approximately eight months for the 82-year-old Attles, who has had health issues. DURANT’S STATUS Durant missed his ninth straight game since the injury May 8 in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Rockets. Kerr is done providing every detail and step of Durant’s rehab progress. “We’re hoping he can play Game 5 or 6. And everything in between I’ve decided I’m not sharing because it’s just gone haywire,” Kerr said. “There’s so much going on, and so it doesn’t make sense to continue to talk about it. He’s either going to play or he’s not. So tonight he’s not playing.” Top football programs discover European recruits L10 5-5 6-4 5-5 2-8 3-7 Str Home L-1 21-12 W-3 17-14 L-1 14-13 L-2 12-20 L-3 8-23 Away 18-11 21-9 19-17 11-20 11-21 L10 6-4 6-4 6-4 4-6 2-8 Str Home W-2 19-9 W-1 18-15 L-3 17-14 L-3 10-20 W-1 12-20 Away 23-11 14-16 12-19 13-17 8-23 L10 8-2 7-3 4-6 5-5 3-7 Str Home W-2 23-8 L-1 22-11 W-2 18-15 L-2 16-17 W-1 13-22 Away 21-13 10-18 14-16 14-17 14-18 L10 5-5 5-5 4-6 6-4 6-4 Str Home W-3 21-11 W-1 16-15 L-1 17-11 L-2 15-15 L-2 11-19 Away 15-16 18-14 13-22 13-20 12-19 L10 5-5 6-4 5-5 4-6 4-6 Str Home W-1 22-11 W-2 20-13 L-1 20-13 L-1 13-18 L-2 15-15 Away 13-16 16-15 11-17 17-14 13-19 L10 7-3 8-2 5-5 4-6 5-5 Str Home L-2 25-7 W-2 18-12 W-2 18-18 W-2 14-16 W-1 11-18 Away 18-14 15-17 15-13 18-16 15-18 NATIONAL LEAGUE Friday’s Games Chicago Cubs 3, St. Louis 1 Philadelphia 4, Cincinnati 2 Arizona 8, Toronto 2 Atlanta 7, Miami 1 Colorado 5, N.Y.

Angels, 10:07 p.m. By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Jairo Faverus, a defensive back from Amsterdam, was hanging out in Alabama’s football facility for about 20 minutes before a Crimson Tide staffer let him know who, exactly, he was waiting to meet. “He was like, ‘Nick Saban wants to see you.’ Oh. Oh,” Faverus recalled his reaction, with a little laugh. The 20-year-old Faverus is part of a group of 29 football players from Europe who have been caravanning to college campus around the country since May 30. The players are getting the opportunity to compete against American prospects at recruiting camps in front of dozens of Division I coaches. The tour has made stops at Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State, with Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State still to come. Brandon Collier, a former college football player from Ohio now living in Germany, is trying to open a pipeline to the United States for European recruits. Players he has worked with have already landed at Michigan, Cincinnati, Temple and Georgia Tech, among others. This is the third year Collier has organized and led a spring camp road trip, but this one represents a breakthrough. Now the programs currently ruling college football — Alabama and Clemson — are taking notice. “My end goal I said two years ago was one day I’ll be in Nick Saban’s office and it kind of happened,” Collier said in a phone interview Wednesday. “So it’s kind of a surreal moment. I mean I had goose bumps.” Collier grew up in Cleveland and played at the University of Massachusetts from 2005-09. He got looks from the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles, knocked around the CFL for a couple years and played professionally in Europe. He decided to stay in Germany after injuries ended his playing career and found untapped potential in European players. There were plenty of top athletes on club and semiprofessional teams, but not much structure to develop them or provide the exposure necessary to be recruited by American colleges. In 2017, Collier started Premier Players International, hoping to fill the void. His first spring camp tour had 15 players and focused mostly on the Midwest. Collier had played for Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown while at UMass, and with Tim Day, the brother of Ohio State coach Ryan Day. The latest PPI tour has also stopped at Cincinnati, the home of an alumnus. Lorenz Metz, a 6-foot-7, 277-pound offensive lineman from Germany, signed with the Bearcats in 2018. Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell said European players tend to be a little older than the typical American high schoolers, which can be a bonus when it comes to maturity. But, as expected, they’re not quite as refined. “You got to be willing to say hey, ‘There’s going to be a learning curve here,’” Fickell said. He added the PPI prospects seemed prepared for what would be expected of them at camp. This year’s prospects include players from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and France. Collier said players paid a $300 fee to be part of the trip and had to pay for their own airfare and lodging. They gathered in Newark, New Jersey, on May 30 and — using three 15-seat vans — drove 16 hours to Macon, Georgia, for a camp at Mercer University. The camp drew coaches from more than two dozen Division I programs, including LSU, Nebraska and Mississippi State. “Then I felt good after the camp so I took a handful of guys that I thought was pretty elite and drove to Alabama the next day on June 2 and did a camp there,” Collier said. Faverus, a 6-foot, 190 pound cornerback who started playing flag football when he was 11, made the greatest impression. “I went because I really wanted to get the experience of having that competition and learning from those types of coaches and that type of team,” Faverus said. “Kind of see what that’s all about. See if I could compete with those guys.” After the drills, an Alabama coach pulled Faverus aside. He didn’t realize it immediately, but Saban wanted to meet him. “He said they wanted more information to see who I am. They didn’t really know who I was until I was at their camp,” Faverus said. Collier’s relationship with Alabama offensive line coach Kyle Flood, who was head coach at Rutgers from 201215, opened the door to the Crimson Tide. At the invite of Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables, Collier’s crew also got to visit the national champions. “(Clemson) rolled out the red carpet for us,” Collier said. Collier said 13 players had already received a total of about 40 scholarship offers during the trip. Getting Saban’s attention was especially satisfying. Just a few months ago, Collier was in Tuscaloosa and told the coach with six national championships he was planning to bring Europeans to Alabama’s camp. “He said, “Whatcha’ got, soccer players?’ And laughed and walked away,” Collier said. “I was kind of motivated to get back to him on it. I went in his office and said, ‘Do you remember you asking me if I only got soccer players?’” �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, June 9, 2019 5B Bruins angry, frustrated by no-calls in Game 5 loss to Blues Cassidy felt St. Louis was the beneficiary of the officiating. “Clearly, they missed a couple tonight,” said Cassidy, who just a few days before was voicing support for the officials as his counterpart, Craig Berube, complained about how the Blues were being treated. “There’s a complaint or whatever put forth by the opposition,” Cassidy said. “It just seems to have changed everything.” Cassidy was particularly upset about a nocall after forward Noel Acciari was taken out (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with the Point Pleasant Register?

The Blues won 2-1 to lead the series 3-2. harder on them and keeping them on the outside. We just need to keep doing the same thing and we’re probably going to be fine if we do that.” Not just fine. If this keeps up, they could be Stanley Cup champions. Game 3 was such an eye-opener of how good Boston’s power play is that many wondered if the Bruins were just going to steamroll the Blues and win the series in five games. But Sundqvist was suspended that game and goaltender Jordan Binnington has shown serious resolve since then. Blues coach Craig Berube also has made adjustments to counter Boston coach Bruce Cassidy’s special teams. “They really like using seam passes and things like that, and I thought we were tight and doing a good job with our sticks and doing a real good job on our stand at the blue line on their breakouts and breaking plays up,” Berube said. Boston’s power play had been converting over 30% — a clip that could have been the secondhighest all-time for a Cup champion — and was drawing comparisons to the New York Islanders’ 1980s dynasty that featured Mike Bossy, Denis Potvin, Clark Gillies and Bryan Trottier. “Back then it was more drop-off, backdoor, overload … a lot more point shots,” Cassidy said. “Little more low-to-high driven net-on-net, whereas now I think you see a lot more power plays, certainly always the half wall is a big thing. But I would guess more netfront tips, rebounds back then. Now it’s more onetimer, seam passes.” Krug considers Cassidy a power-play mastermind, and that will be tested with the Bruins facing elimination Sunday for the first time since Game 7 in the first round against Toronto. “I think in zone, they’ve been tight,” Cassidy said of the Blues. “Either got to stretch them out to get some seams or we got to be less stubborn, then get a net presence and take the shot that’s available with that net presence. Maybe stretch them out off of puck recovery. A little bit is on us to make sure — ‘us’ the staff — and it’s on the players to make the right decision at the right moment in time.” Former Bengal faces assault charges in American Samoa PAGO PAGO, American Samoa (AP) — Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Jonathan Fanene faces charges he used a pipe, golf club and broom handle to assault his wife and his sister over allegations he had an extramarital affair while on a trip to Hawaii, according to court documents filed this week. Fanene has been charged in the district court of American Samoa with eight felonies, including kidnapping and assault, and five misdemeanors. He has been released on $100,000 bail and will appear in court next week. Defense lawyer Marcellus Talaimalo Uiagalelei, who declined to comment to The Associated Press on Thursday, will decide then if Fanene continues with a preliminary hearing at the district court level or opts to have the case heard in the High Court of American Samoa. Fanene played for the University of Utah and was drafted by the Bengals in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL draft. He played seven seasons for the Bengals and started 10 games in 2009. He played for New England in 2012, but he was released after being injured in training camp. He has been serving as director of the American Samoa Department of Youth and Women’s Affairs since 2014, but has lost his job. “Based on the information I received from the Police Commission, my decision is to terminate Mr. Fanene,” American Samoa’s acting governor, Lt. Gov. Lemanu Palepoi Sialega Mauga, told the AP late Wednesday. Tony Tribble | AP file Court filings allege that former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Jonathan Fanene used a pipe, golf club and broom handle to assault his wife and his sister over allegations he had an extramarital affair while on a trip to Hawaii. Fanene has been charged in the District Court of American Samoa with eight felonies, including kidnapping and assault, and five misdemeanors. He has been released on $100,000 bail and will appear in court next week. An acting director has already been named, and Mauga expected Fanene’s termination letter to be mailed Thursday or Friday. Mauga said he made the decision after review- ing the files and photos of Fanene’s wife from the investigation. The incident is alleged to have occurred May 26 and been witnessed by the couple’s 9-year-old son, who told police his father told him to grab “the bat,” according to court documents. When the boy couldn’t find one, he brought a pipe, golf club and broom handle. The son then saw his father “use these objects to assault” his mother and aunt, the affidavit says. “He beat them as hard as he can. … My mom told him to stop, in a crying way,” the son is quoted in the affidavit, telling a police investigator. Police said the wife suffered multiple contusions covering an area from her shoulders to ankles on one side of her body. She also sustained injuries to her buttocks, the upper portion of both arms and her lips, court documents say. SUNDAY EVENING Saints, Ginn banking on veteran’s enduring speed METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Even as Ted Ginn Jr. enters his 13th NFL season, the 34-year-old Saints receiver still considers his foot speed his most distinguishing asset. New Orleans hopes the former Ohio State football and track star can live up to the hype he himself has promulgated this offseason — namely by publicly inviting anyone to race him for $10,000 and by entering the “40 Yards of Gold” competition that purportedly will determine the NFL’s fastest player. “When you think about speed, and you come to the New Orleans Saints, you think about one guy,” Ginn said. “We’ve all got our labels of who we are. We’ve all just got to go out and man up to it.” Whether Ginn’s outward confidence is genuine or a means of selfmotivation is difficult to discern. He is less than a year removed from arthroscopic knee surgery that wiped out most of his 2018 season. He said the experience caused him at one point to view retirement as a “50-50” proposition. “Going through the different things I went through and seeing the different doctors made me a little scared,” Ginn said. The Saints designated Ginn to return from injured reserve late last season and the move quickly paid dividends when he caught a late, 25-yard pass that helped the Saints defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16. He added six receptions for 102 yards in two playoff games, including a 43-yarder in the NFC title game. Ginn said he has not been formally timed in a 40-yard dash in “a long time” but suggests that he can still sprint that distance in 4.38 seconds or faster. He said his training and diet regimens have evolved as he has gotten older. He is less focused on weight training now and spent part of this offseason on what he calls the “Alvin Kamara plan,” working in Miami with the Saints’ thirdyear star running back on drills designed to optimize agility, balance and explosiveness. He has given up eating meat, opting for more of a fish-focused, “pescatarian” diet. “I’m just taking different precautions to try and stick in this league,” Ginn said.

There was Payne and the pager at Pinehurst. There was a near-miss at Merion. To list all of Phil Mickelson’s close calls, meltdowns and shortfalls at the U.S. Open is to peer into a particularly tortured chapter of the history of one of golf’s greatest champions. More uplifting are the stories from Mickelson’s five tour victories at Pebble Beach — including one earlier this year. It’s what makes Mickelson’s trip next week to Pebble all that much more tantalizing. It’s his chance to finally win the tournament he’s wanted so badly — maybe too badly — at a course teeming with history and good vibes for not only himself, but for his family and for the game itself. It’s a week during which the fivetime major winner, who turns 49 on the day of the final round, will come face to face with what could be his last, best chance to win the U.S. Open. And become the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. “No,” Mickelson said when asked if he felt pressure to capture the final leg of the slam in order to enhance his legacy. “It’s just that it would be pretty special to be part of the elite players that have won all four. To me, that’s the sign of a complete game.” It’s hard to argue Mickelson hasn’t proven he has WITH PURCHASE OF A GENERAC HOME STANDBY GENERATOR Financing Available as little as $99 per month upon approval.

He carried a one-shot lead into final hole. His driver — Mickelson hit only two fairways the final round — bounced off a hospitality tent, well left of the fairway and behind a phalanx of trees that blocked his path to the green. Instead of punching out, trying to save par for the win or bogey for a playoff, he went for it. He dismissed the odds and chose against making what looked like the “smart” play, much the way he has throughout a career of all-or-nothing risk taking that has paid off as often as not. The ball hit a tree and barely went 25 yards. Mickelson made double bogey and lost by one. “I still am in shock that I did that. I just can’t believe that I did that,” Mickelson said afterward. “I am such an idiot.” NATIONAL CITIES McArthur 79/68 500 Air Quality Index: 0-50, Good; 51-100, Moderate; 101-150, Unhealthy for sensitive groups; 151-200, Unhealthy; 201-300, Very unhealthy; 301-500, Hazardous.

He has played in 25 of them as a professional, finished in the top 10 in 10, and finished runner-up in six of those. And yet, the defining trait of America’s national championship is that it delivers the ultimate examination of every part of a player’s game. That includes the mental and emotional approach — and, it follows that a big piece of that puzzle is the ability to stay cool and make good decisions when the lights are the brightest. To many, Mickelson’s putt-sweeping debacle at Shinnecock last June, where he finished 48th, was a culmination of a quarter-century’s worth of frustration from a player fed up with the vagaries of the USGA’s perennial course-setup controversies, to say nothing of the long, star-crossed history he has written for himself in the major he has valued the most.
