Property will once again be auto dealership By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — The former auto dealership property located at 308 East Main Street in Pomeroy will once again be a dealership after the commissioners approved the sale of the property on Monday morning. Following a 46 minute executive session regarding the sale of property, the commissioners approved the sale at a price of $660,000 to Ted Dexter. Dexter was one of the original bidders on the property. Dexter said he plans to move his dealership, Wheels and Deals, from its current location in Middleport to the new site in Pomeroy. The new location will also include the office for his trucking company, Ted Dexter Trucking, which is currently located in Pomeroy. With the new, larger location, Dexter said he plans to offer full service for vehicles, including tires, oil change, brakes and other services on site. The commissioners paid $775,000 when purchasing the property in October 2014. Since that time it was leased to Mark Porter on two occasions, with the lease price varying. Porter put more than $150,000 into renovation work at the building during that lease, according to the commissioners. The property has been vacant since Porter’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership opened at its new location last year. The property has been the home of two different dealerships owned and operated by Mark Porter, and was the Don Tate dealership before that. The paperwork finalizing the purchase agreement between the county and Dexter was to be completed on Monday. The timetable for the move from Middleport has not been announced.

Financing ‘the right fit’ Wahama seeks to fund band uniforms THE DOWN PAYMENT By Mindy Kearns Special to the Register Mindy Kearns | Courtesy Wahama band members Sydney Burris, left, and Kelsyn Spencer look over a tattered band uniform, purchased in 2004. The band is raising money to finish paying for new uniforms that were recently ordered. MASON — The down payment has been made, and now members of the Wahama White Falcon Marching Band are depending on the community to help them realize their goal of getting new uniforms. The uniforms cost $650 each, with the total coming to nearly $41,000, according to Band Director Matthew Bradley. They will replace ones that are over 16 years old. The age of the present uniforms present a problem itself, according to Courtney Weaver, a member of the Funds for the down payment came from the third annual Bitanga’s Breakathon, when over $10,000 was donated to the band through Bitanga’s “Save the Music” program. The same amount was also donated to Meigs and Southern high schools. band boosters. She said the number of years have turned the once white portions of the outfits dingy and yellowed.

Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Health reported last week that there have been more than 4,400 hospitalizations due to flu in Ohio during the 2019-2020 flu season. Older adults are at increased risk of complications from the flu, which can include pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, and more. Flu can also make chronic health conditions like asthma and heart failure worse. These complications can lead to serious illness and even death. The Ohio Department of Aging advises older Ohioans and anyone who spends time with older adults to take steps to avoid get- ting and spreading the flu. “Each older Ohioan should take every precaution possible to protect themselves from the flu. This includes getting a flu shot and adopting healthy habits,” said Ursel McElroy, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. “Likewise, anyone who lives with or cares for an older adult should take steps to prevent getting the flu and passing it to those around them.” Flu season is typically from October through May in Ohio. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has designated current flu activity in Ohio as “widespread.” The Ohio Department of Health called the flu Ohio’s primary infectious disease threat. It is not too late to get a flu shot. A shot today can provide protection for the remainder of the season. Shots are still widely available and are covered by Medicare Part B with no copay for adults age 65 and older. Much attention is being given to the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019 nCoV). Ohio health officials point out that Ohioans are much more likely to get sick from the flu than 2019 nCoV. However, the general public can take the usual, recommended actions to prevent infection. š<h[gk[djbo�mWi^�oekh�^WdZi� for 20 seconds or more with See ODA | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Tuesday, February 11, 2020 OBITUARIES PAMELA KAY MEES SHARP JUDY K.

Daily Sentinel IN BRIEF Accused man pleads guilty CLEVELAND (AP) — Guilty pleas were entered Monday by a man accused of shooting and injuring a Cleveland police officer with an assault-type rifle while the officer was responding to a call. Authorities say defendant Jonathan Chambers shot a man in the neck while the man was sitting in a car in November 2018 and then shot 28-yearold police officer Shane McNea in both legs when McNea and another officer arrived to investigate. Chambers, 31, entered pleas to attempted murder in Cuyahoga County court. Sentencing was set for April 8. Chambers’ attorney, Daniel Misiewicz, declined comment. The first man was shot in the neck and survived, while McNea underwent emergency surgery at a hospital after the shooting, according to cleveland.com. 184,000 deer harvested COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Hunters harvested a total of 184,465 white-tailed deer in Ohio’s 20192020 hunting season, according to the state’s Department of Natural Resources.

Eleanor channeled her passion through the Hutte, which she cofounded over 50 years ago. She passed away in 2011 at 93. Jonathan and Clara are releasing a documentary this year that they produced on Eleanor’s impact on Helvetia. “The Hütte is the heart of the town,” Eleanor said in the documentary. “We have people who come in, they don’t feel good, they want to tell us their sad story or they tell us their dreams. It’s much more than a place to eat.” Eleanor pronounced the name, “Hut-ee,” which is a hold off from the Swiss-German language that was regularly spoken in Helvetia. These days, Clara said local accents have morphed the common pronunciation into “Huttay.” To this day the Hütte’s wooden floor has a deep sheen from being waxed daily. On the tables are freshly cut flowers arranged just right, a daily ritual Eleanor started. The Hütte has continued on without Eleanor physically there, but she is certainly present in spirit. Clara reads an award hanging on the wall of the Hütte. It was presented to Eleanor in 2006. “The Iron Lady of Helvetia. The lady through years of sacrifice and struggle never lost faith in her beloved Helvetia,” it states. “Those of us who have been a part of her dream are forever grateful for what she has built. May her dream continue to be enriched and nourished for all the years to come.” The Hütte and all its material culture, as well as Eleanor Mailloux’s legacy, will be on display in the upcoming documentary ‘Born In A Ballroom.’ It is slated for screenings across West Virginia throughout the year.

That loan was fully repaid in 2013. 740-446-0800 OH-70171948 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Koreans reacted with rare collective joy Monday after director Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” won the Oscar for best picture and three other awards, good news that came as their country struggles to guard against a new virus and counter North Korea’s nuclear threat. The movie’s wins made history in both the Hollywood and South Korean film industries. The class satire is the first non-English-language film to win best picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards, and is the first South Korean movie to ever win an Oscar. “Can you believe that ‘Parasite’ won the Academy best picture?” South Korea’s biggest newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, said in a headline. “It rewrote the Academy’s 92-year-old history.” South Korean social media were overwhelmed with congratulatory messages. Bong, “Parasite” and other Oscar-related news also dominated search terms throughout Monday at major internet portal sites, which had been preoccupied with the outbreak of a virus in China that has killed more than 900 people and sickened tens of thousands of others, mainly in China. Worries about the virus have been growing in South Korea, where 27 cases have been reported, though no deaths have occurred. Sales at tour agencies, restaurants, movie theaters and department stores have sharply declined, raising worries about the impact on South Korea’s already-lagging economy. Opposition parties are accusing the government of ineffectiveness in coping with the outbreak. But the concerns about the virus and political warfare eased Monday to celebrate Bong’s wins. “It’s happy news, like welcome rain, to the Republic of Korea, which is depressed, stagnant and thrown into despair due to Wuhan pneumonia,” the main opposition Liberty Korea Party said in a statement. Wuhan is the Chinese city at the center of the outbreak. President Moon Jae-in and his advisers began a regularly scheduled meeting by clapping their hands to celebrate Bong’s wins. Moon later tweeted that he is proud of Bong and his staff and “particularly grateful to them for giving courage and pride to our people who are overcoming difficulties.” “I think this was a great opportunity to let the world know the true value of Korean movies,” said office worker Cho Sung-ho, 54. “I think it is very meaningful that the Academy Award this time has acknowledged the superior quality of Korean films.” U.S. Ambassador Harry Harris, who said watched the Academy Awards ceremony with embassy staff, tweeted, “Wow! Congrats Director Bong, Team #Parasite & ROK cinema!” At Bong’s alma mater, Seoul’s Yonsei University, students belonging to a school movie club watched the Academy Award ceremony together. “It’s deeply meaningful for Korean movies and this will open the path for further development. It’s such a great honor. I’m speechless,” said Kim Nam-hoon, 21. Jeong Ho-cheol, a 26-year-old student, praised Bong for pleasing both movie critics and crowds. “His way of dealing with the underside of Korean society and problems such as rich-poor gaps and the way he expresses those issues are very expressive,” he said. �Opinion 4 Tuesday, February 11, 2020 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW New meaning for Valentine’s Day through the years The festival of Lupercalia was a Roman celebration, and I am told that while it survived early Christianity, Pope Gelasius replaced it with St. Valentine’s Day. It wasn’t until much later it became associated with love. And has it ever. Candy confectioners, manufacturers of Valentines trinkets, restaurateurs, spas, cosmetic companies and more have capitalized on the promotion of the holiday of love to the tune of just under $30 billion Herb per year! And how about Hallmark? Day The cards and the movies. Love is in Contributing the air. columnist Has Valentine’s Day changed through the years? Yes. In more ways than one. Remember when you were a kid in school and your classmates would exchange Valentines? Remember how happy you would be to receive more Valentines than the other kids? Or how sad you would be if you didn’t receive as many as the other children? Well, fast forward to the all grown up you in a big boy or big girl relationship. If you know what’s good for you, you’d best not be out there trying to get the most Valentines or you might be needing one of those Valentines Day motel rooms for one when you are ejected from your house. Just sayin’ (Always looking out for you). I was never into the celebrations most people are into. Birthdays for one. Oh, I’m all into celebrating yours, but not so much mine. I will celebrate your’s because you do. But I always felt that while I’m thankful for each year I’ve lived, and certainly each time I’m given another year, all I did was show up. My mother did the work, so I always thought she should get the flowers and presents. After childhood, Valentine’s Day didn’t mean much to me either. I just felt it was another day to enhance the economy and little more. However, try handing that to your wife guys. Just kidding, don’t try that! Remember that motel room for one? You may need it again. When I discovered how much it meant to my wife, I eventually fell in line (eventually the operative word here. I’m not a quick study). Remember, “Happy wife, Happy Life!” Oh, don’t misunderstand me, I am not to Don Juan (ask your parents. They’ll tell you who that was) status, but I try to get into the spirit of the whole Valentine’s Day thing. Of course, it helps having the Hallmark Channel flood my conscience with movie after movie touting the glory of the holiday beginning immediately after Christmas. Besides, it’s not a bad place to get some ideas as to what she likes. Day-to-day life has us so busy that we often forget about that person we share our life with. We work so hard trying to keep up with the bills, the kids, and the appointments that not only do we not always remember the needs of our mate, but we can forget about our own. When that happens, we are way too busy. When you look at it in those terms, birthdays, Sweetest Day, anniversaries, and yes, Valentine’s Day does serve a purpose other than revenue enhancement for the national economy. Perhaps those days are reminders that we should stop for a moment, take a breath and look at the people who share our lives. That husband or wife who works just as hard, maybe even harder than you do to make it all come together. I always used to joke with my pals that their wives deserve an award of some kind for “putting up” with them all these years. But then I look at my wife, and I realize that is a true statement. She does deserve an award for her hard work on the job, in our home, with our kids, our grandkids and for putting up with me. Yes, Valentine’s Day has changed through the years, but maybe the biggest change is how I see it. So, to my friend, my confidant, my lover, my wife, Patty, Happy Valentine’s Day.

THEIR VIEW Perennial gardens step by step For the home gardener, the term Perennial means a plant with stems that usually die back in winter and a root system from which new foliage and flowers grow the following year. Most perennials have herbaceous stems, but a few have woody stems. Landscape beds are usually mixed plantings incorporating annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees. Shrubs and trees provide the “backbone” of the landscape as well as winter interest, while annuals are used as yearround complementary color. In general, there are three types of perennial beds: š�?ibWdZ�X[Z0�7�\h[[standing garden, often raised to promote drainage, to be viewed from all sides š�F[h[dd_Wb�XehZ[h0� Double or single border with a backdrop of a wall, fence or woody shrubs that is generally viewed from one side š�DWjkhWb_p[Z�Wh[W0� Established in an area of native plants like a woodland garden or natural stream Planning is the key to success when designing and installing a perennial bed. Know the plant’s requirements for sun or shade, food and moisture. One of the most common pitfalls is placing shadeloving perennials in afternoon sun, or sun-loving perennials where they get less than six hours of sun. When designing large perennial beds that are to be viewed from a distance or by passing vehicles, a simple theme, both in color and species, ivy, nutgrass, is most suitable. clovers, or alliums.

Make sure the plants you choose are hardy for our climate zone (6 or 6a). Rainfall and drainage are a very important factor in plant survival. Inadequate drainage in clay soils creates favorable conditions for root rots, and dry soils cause plant stress from drought. In fact, more perennials die from wet winter soils than from cold. This is why raised beds, terracing and adding peat moss are so beneficial. Feeding perennials The most effective way to feed is to mix with the soil when planting, and then scatter it on the ground around the plant in later years. Use a well-rounded multivitamin/multi-mineral plant food like Espoma Plant Tone or Flower Tone. Perennials need food early in spring or summer, when they put on growth, and not so much the remainder of the year. Unless the soil temperature is warm, plants don’t absorb food through their roots. If you cut back perennials midseason, you should feed them again.

While working for Meigs Local, I became acutely aware of the lack of money our schools were receiving. This deficit is due largely in part to lack of property taxes being collected. We’re facing close to a 10 million-dollar delinquent tax problem in Meigs County that has grown over 6 million since 2009. Currently we’re only at 65-68 percent return in property taxes. Surrounding counties are between 80-90 percent. Achieving those percentages can be done in Meigs County with the ideas I plan to put in place. Did you know that the money from our property taxes also fund our levies for our police departments, fire departments and libraries, not to mention our roads and our schools?

Clippers hand Cavs worst home loss in history IN BRIEF CLEVELAND (AP) — The presence of Andre Drummond began the night with optimism for the Cleveland Cavaliers. That positive feeling was quickly dashed by a 133-92 loss Sunday to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Cavaliers’ worst home defeat in franchise history. “Tonight was pretty ugly, so show ‘em your worst first and you only can go up from there,” Kevin Love said. Drummond started in his first game with Cleveland after being acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline. He scored 19 points, had 14 rebounds and even hit a pair of 3-pointers in 29 minutes. Drummond’s numbers weren’t nearly enough as the Clippers led wire-to-wire without star forward Kawhi Leonard. Cleveland’s previous worst was a 39-point loss to Chicago in 2012.

The Clippers were obviously angry following an embarrassing 142-115 loss in Minnesota on Saturday. Los Angeles shot 70% percent in the first quarter, making 14 of 20 from the field. “There are nights for whatever reason, it’s the perfect storm,” Rivers said. “Last night was one of those. You just move on from it.” Morris knocked Drummond to the floor with a hard foul as Cleveland’s center tried to score in the third quarter. The play was upgraded to a flagrant foul after a review. Morris’ final game with the Knicks came in Cleveland on Feb. 3. He scored 26 points in New York’s overtime win. “That was cool, man,” Morris said of his debut. “The guys made the game easy.

The actual football was hit and miss. College national championship-winning former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones was the biggest star on the field and took the microphone to address fans before the start of a brand-new football league. “This is for the love of football,” Jones said. “Enjoy.” Jones’ D.C. Defenders beat the Seattle Dragons 31-19 Saturday afternoon in the opener of the new XFL that provided plenty of entertainment in person and on TV. It’s far too early to tell if the XFL can take a foothold where its previous incarnation and the recently unsuccessful Alliance of American Football failed, but executives are willing to wait and see. “For us, if the fans who attend and watch at home feel as though it was a good football game and they had a fun time either watching or being in this awesome venue with us, that’s success,” XFL chief operating officer Jeffrey Pollack said. “We’re taking a long term view in this. Success ultimately will not be measured in the first game or the first weekend or the first season.” The first weekend is a chance for football fans to catch a glimpse of some of the few players they might recognize. There’s former Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones with Dallas, former NFL QB Josh Johnson with San Diego and ex-Navy standout Keenan Reynolds playing for Seattle. It’s not the star power of the NFL, but billionaire Vince McMahon’s latest venture is an attempt to capture the attention of hardcore football fans in the aftermath of the Super Bowl. “Our expectation for this first season is for football fans to simply give us a look, give us a chance, sample us,” Pollack said. “We understand that fandom is earned. It’s not given. … We think that if you love football, you’re going to love the XFL.” In the league opener, a crowd of 17,163 almost filled up Audi Field, home of Major League Soccer’s D.C. United. There was a buzz around the stadium in the hours before the XFL’s debut, with cars lining up to enter parking lots and fans checking out a league-sponsored tailgate. Fans were already sporting Dragons and Defenders gear and queued up in long concession lines at halftime. “I didn’t have real expectations going into the game as far as what the experience was going to be like,” Cardale Jones said. “If I did … they would’ve been blown away.” The location of the first game made sense in the neighborhood of the NFL’s Washington Redskins, who haven’t won the Super Bowl since 1992 and have just one playoff victory in the past 20 seasons. Fan-made signs mocking the “Hail to the Redskins” slogan and asking Redskins owner Dan Snyder to sell the team were draped from a balcony at the 50-yard line. The broadcast included in-game interviews with a kicker seconds after he missed a field goal attempt and a defender involved in a scrum that led to a penalty. Seattle’s Dillon Day dropped an F-bomb that made it to the airwaves and went viral. On the field, the play was a mix of traditional college and pro style with some different twists.

After the bout, opinions on the outcome were anything but unanimous. Jones retained his light heavyweight belt Saturday night following a surprisingly strong opening by Reyes. The unanimous decision of 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 was met with scattered applause and loud boos from the crowd, as many felt the challenger had proven enough to take the title. UFC President Dana White addressed what turned out to be a disputed decision. “The scoring was all over the map,” said White, noting that he thought Reyes had a 3-1 edge entering the final round. “My kids are terrorizing me that, ‘The fix is in, how did this happen?’ “People had it all over the place, but the reality is … we’re not judges. The judges call the fight, and that’s that. As far as the judging and the reffing tonight, do I think it was perfect? I do not. We need to do some work down here.” White said UFC can work with the Texas commission to help improve the quality of judging and officiating. “I do feel disrespected,” Reyes said. “One of the judges had it 49-46. Who are you? I might want to have a word with you. I know I won that fight.” White said he believes Reyes deserves a rematch. Jones faced his most serious challenge in years. “I wasn’t always confident that I was winning the fight,” Jones said. “I was confident that I wasn’t going to give up or slow down. I think I displayed the difference between a champion and an extraordinary contender. Something special happens when it’s time for the champion to present himself, and you guys saw it tonight in the fifth round.” Preseason No. 1 Michigan St out of Top 25 By John Marshall Associated Press The NCAA initial rankings had little impact at the top of the AP Top 25, but a three-game losing streak knocked preseason No. 1 Michigan State out of the poll. Baylor remained No. 1 in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll released Monday, two days after being the top overall seed in the NCAA Division I Basketball Committee’s preliminary rankings. The Bears received 48 first-place votes from a 64-person media panel. Gonzaga remained at No. 2 and received 15 first-place votes despite being the No. 3 overall seed behind Kansas in the NCAA rankings released Saturday. The Jayhawks had one first-place vote and San Diego State, the lone remaining undefeated team in Division I, stayed at No. 4 after being slotted as the No. 1 seed in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament. Louisville remained No. 5 during a week in which No. 10 Seton Hall, which moved up two places, was the only addition to the top 10. The biggest change: Preseason No. 1 Michigan State dropped out of the poll from No. 16, thanks to a three-game losing streak. The Spartans have struggled with Joshua Langford out because of a foot injury and star Cassius Winston grieving after his brother was killed just before the season started. Michigan State lost to rival Michigan on Saturday to become the first team since Kentucky in 2013-14 to drop out of the poll after being the preseason No. 1. “We’ve been in every game but one,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “And yet, we get close like that, cut big leads … it’s almost like we go brain dead then, (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN IN THE MATTER OF ACCOUNTS,PROBATE COURT, MEIGS COUNTY ACCOUNTS AND VOUCHERS OF THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN FILED IN PROBATE COURT, MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO FOR APPROVAL CASE NO: 20073001 THE 2019 ACCOUNTING FOR THE ROBERT WINGETT CHARITABLE TRUST, FILED BY CATHY CROW, TRUSTEE.

He became the alltime leader in UFC title defenses, breaking the record previously held by Georges St-Pierre. “I don’t think he was disrespected,” Jones said of Reyes. “I’ve got to watch the fight though. It’s hard to speak with confidence when I haven’t watched the fight.” Jones was fighting for the first time since last July’s win over Thiago Santos at UFC 239, his longest period between fights in more than five years. Reyes came out on the attack in the first round, briefly knocking Jones to the ground less than two minutes into the bout. Jones bounced back in the second round, landing several strong hooks to Reyes’ head. The lively crowd swayed back and forth in support of either fighter, chanting both names at different points.

The basketball committee had Baylor (21-1, 10-0 Big 12) as the No. 1 seed in the South Region based on games through Friday. The Bears beat Oklahoma State 78-70 on Saturday and became the first team in this season of parity to remain at No. 1 four straight weeks. Baylor is the first Big 12 team since Kansas in 2008 to win 20 consecutive games and has its longest conference winning streak since opening 10-0 in 1948. The NCAA slotted Kansas as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region and the Jayhawks followed with a 14-point victory over TCU on Saturday. Gonzaga, the No. 1 seed in the West, turned its rivalry game against Saint Mary’s into a laugher, handing the Gaels their worst home loss in 19 years with a 90-60 victory in Moraga. The Zags have won 17 straight since losing to Michigan on Nov. 29. San Diego State earned a No. 1 seed from the NCAA, but because the Aztecs were slotted behind Gonzaga, they were No. 1 in the East Region across the country in New York. Hall rising No. 10 Seton Hall has matched its highest ranking since climbing to No. 7 in 2000-01. Myles Powell and a huge win over then-No. 10 Villanova had something to do with it. Powell, a senior, has lived up to the billing as one of college basketball’s best players this season, averaging 21.9 points and 4.8 assists. He had 19 points in the Pirates’ 70-64 victory over Villanova, snapping a 17-game road losing streak to the Wildcats.

James — a two-time gold medalist and three-time Olympian — is among 44 players announced by USA Basketball on Monday as finalists for the team that will play in the Tokyo Games this summer. James played in 2004, 2008 and 2012, helping the U.S. win gold in his most recent two appearances. The pool includes 19 players who have won a total of 31 gold medals in either Olympic or World Cup competition for the Americans — including nine players who captured the Olympic title for USA Basketball in Rio de Janeiro four years ago. “I’ve always maintained that equity is important,” USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo told The Associated Press. “And you earn equity by participating. So, we think they’ve earned the right to be named to the overall roster for USA Basketball. It’s pretty elite. It’s a tremendous pot and the good news is they’ve all said they want to play.” James has played in 68 games for the U.S. national team and has said several times over the past year or so that he is thinking about another Olympics — after sitting out the Rio Games for a variety of reasons. Part of the interest in participating this summer is to have the chance to play for U.S. coach Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio 41° 42° 40° AccuWeather.com Asthma Index™ Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack. 24 hours ending 3 p.m. Mon. 0.94 Month to date/normal 2.06/1.07 Year to date/normal 5.41/4.04 Snowfall (in inches) The AccuWeather.com Cold Index combines the effects of local weather with a number of demographic factors to provide a scale showing the overall probability of transmission and symptom severity of the common cold. 2 24 hours ending 3 p.m. Mon. 0.0 Month to date/normal 4.0/2.9 Season to date/normal 5.0/14.4 WEATHER TRIVIA™ SUN & MOON Q: Has snow ever been observed on Miami Beach?

Durant’s recovery from Achilles’ surgery is at the point where he’s doing some on-court work and Thompson has said he would like to play if his surgically repaired knee is up to the challenge. The 25 other players who are finalists for this summer’s team but do not yet have Olympic or World Cup gold for the U.S.: Miami’s Bam Adebayo, San Antonio’s LaMarcus Aldridge, Washington’s Bradley Beal, Phoenix’s Devin Booker, Indiana’s Malcolm Brogdon, Boston’s Jaylen Brown, Utah’s Mike Conley, the Clippers’ Montrezl Harrell, Brooklyn’s Joe Harris, Philadelphia’s Tobias Harris, Boston’s Gordon Hayward, New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram, the Lakers’ Kyle Kuzma, the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard, Portland’s Damian Lillard, Milwaukee’s Brook Lopez, the Lakers’ JaVale McGee, Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton, Utah’s Donovan Mitchell, Indiana’s Victor Oladipo, Boston’s Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum, Indiana’s Myles Turner, Boston’s Kemba Walker and San Antonio’s Derrick White. “The reason we have this big roster is a lot of things happen, a lot of variables,” Colangelo said. “And what’s to say what’s going to happen from an injury standpoint between now and June. We don’t know. So we have the rest of the season to monitor, to watch. But when we select our 12, they will be 12 who are absolutely in with all fours.” 58° 44° Cloudy, chance of rain; not as cool NATIONAL CITIES McArthur 44/28 Waverly 44/30 SATURDAY 29° 14° Adelphi 43/28 Chillicothe 43/29 FRIDAY 45° 17° Logan 43/28 The nine players still in the mix from the 2016 Olympic team: Sacramento’s Harrison Barnes, Miami’s Jimmy Butler, San Antonio’s DeMar DeRozan, Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant, the Los Angeles Clippers’ Paul George, Golden State’s Draymond Green, Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving, Toronto’s Kyle Lowry and Golden State’s Klay Thompson.

There will be no tryouts. USA Basketball will pare the list down to a 12-person Olympic team by early June, those decisions to be made by a selection committee — and to be based in part on player availability and health. Training camp will start in early July, potentially as little as two weeks after the end of the NBA Finals. The Olympics start July 24. USA Basketball officials, including Colangelo and Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, have met with players in a variety of ways over the past several weeks. Some talks have been directly with players, some with their agents, some with their NBA clubs, sometimes a combination thereof — and, Colangelo noted, there were some instances where players reached out directly to express interest. If they’re on the list, that means USA Basketball is convinced they want to play. “I feel very good about the response,” Colangelo said. Also included in the pool: 15 of the 16 players from the U.S. who are scheduled to play in Sunday’s NBA AllStar Game, and all 12 members of the team that represented the U.S. at last summer’s Basketball World Cup in China — where the Americans managed only a seventh-place finish after roughly three dozen players who were on the list at some point dropped out along the way. Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The first race of the NASCAR season was a demolition derby that turned Daytona International Speedway into a giant junkyard. The Busch Clash? More like the Busch Crash. Erik Jones won Sunday’s race that left a multimillion dollar trail of destruction and masked the fact the Clash was a made-for-TV exhibition race. Only 18 cars were entered and only six were on track when the checkered flag flew at the end of a third overtime. Jones crossed the finish line in a Toyota with a crumpled hood after a huge push from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and defending Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin. “I’ve got to give a huge thanks to Denny there … he stuck with us there that whole last lap,” Jones said. “It wasn’t the fastest car I don’t think left in the race, but we brought it home. I owe him one for that one, for sure.” Hamlin was a lap down after a blown tire on the previous overtime attempt caused him to crash half the cars remaining on track, but he had enough speed to push Jones along the outside and give Gibbs yet another win. The Gibbs organization won 19 races last year, went 1-2-3 in the Daytona 500 and won the Cup Series title. Joe Gibbs is now the all-time winningest owner in Busch Clash history with nine victories. Brad Keselowski was among those incensed by the aggressive late blocking. The race was fairly anticlimactic until two wrecks in the final nine laps sent it into overtime, and as Keselowski railed against the racing that ended his day, Hamlin got a flat tire as the leader on a restart and collected most of the cars on track. “Dumb, dumb racing,” said Keselowski, who slapped the side of an ambulance with both hands in frustration. “We shouldn’t be wrecking all these cars. You’d think these guys would be smarter than that. It’s the same thing over and over, somebody throws a stupid block that’s never going to work and wrecks half the field. “I don’t know. Maybe we need to take the helmets out of these cars and the seat belts out. Somebody will get hurt, and then we’ll stop driving like (expletive).” Kyle Busch, collected in the accident that ended Keselowski’s day when teammate Joey Logano tried to block Busch, said the crashes are a product of superspeedway racing.
