The Queen of the Mississippi passed through the region on Thursday evening during part of it’s 11-day, 10-night cruise from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to St. Louis,
Missouri. If you missed the boat on this trip, it will be returning to the area later in July on trips from St. Louis to Pittsburgh and then back from Pittsburgh to St. Louis.
The boat, built in 2015, is scheduled for two trips again next summer according to its website.

Gone fishing with TU Teens
By Morgan McKinniss

MANISTEE, Mich. — The
local chapter of TU Teens
recently took a trip to the Manistee River in the northwest
corner of the lower peninsula of
Michigan in search of trout.
Eight teens and ﬁve adults
traveled north on Saturday loaded up with ﬁshing poles and
ﬁve days worth of gear ready
to spend time in the Manistee
River and enjoy the scenery and
nature of Northern Michigan.
Shannon Mayes, teacher at
Gallia Middle School and leader
of the TU Teens program, has
been teaching these kids to
ﬂy ﬁsh during the after school
program all year, and this trip
was an opportunity for them to
put these newly developed skills
into practice. Judge Richard
Altman of Deﬁance County, a
friend of Mayes, owns a cabin in
Manistee and offered it for the
group and to come along helping teens ﬁsh the river.

In all, Kasich vetoed 47
items, which also included a Medicaid freeze.

Wellness volunteer encourages others to participate
Many people in our
communities live with
a chronic disease. This
could include conditions
like diabetes, COPD,
heart disease, arthritis,
and other health issues
that individuals live with
daily in their life. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of all American
adults have at least one
chronic condition, and
almost one of three have
multiple chronic conditions.
Several years ago, the
Area Agency on Aging
District 7 (AAA7), in a
joint effort with the Ohio
Department of Aging,
began the development
of a wellness initiative

to bring classes to the
community, for those
age 60 and over, to help
with chronic disease selfmanagement, diabetes
self-management, and
falls management. Designated staff members of
the AAA7 were trained
in these initiatives and
became “master trainers”,
allowing them to teach
others in the community
to become “community
coaches”. These volunteer
coaches help others in
their hometown or county
discover helpful ways to
live with their chronic
diseases and become
empowered to take better
care of themselves.

serving as a volunteer
community coach in
order to help others in
his community who are
living with a chronic disease. Having been active
in the aging ﬁeld at both
the local and state level
for almost 40 years, and
living with two chronic
illnesses himself, Davis
was drawn to the call for
volunteers after reading
a newspaper article. He’s
been volunteering in this
capacity since September
2015.
Through his volunteer
role, Davis is teamed up
with an additional volunteer community coach.
Together, they work
to present the materials to participants and
encourage and facilitate
dialogue throughout the
six-week course that is
provided to participants
at no cost. AAA7 provides both the technical
course and material
training to potential community coaches on how
to instruct the sessions,
and prepares them before
they start their class. The
AAA7 also provides all
course materials and coinstructors, secures the
training site, schedules
the sessions, and registers participants. Potential volunteers only need
to give of their time – all
materials and training is
provided to each volunteer at no cost.
Through the workshops,
community coaches provide support to participants and discuss helpful
topics such as: learning
ways to deal with pain,

fatigue and depression;
discovering ways to be
more physically active;
learning how to eat healthier; learning better ways
to talk with physicians
and family about health
issues; setting personal
goals; and ﬁnding ways to
relax and better deal with
stress. Davis shares that
what he feels those attending ﬁnd most useful varies
from person to person,
but that through the basic
information presented and
sharing time during the
workshop, several ideas
are usually discovered and
found useful by those who
attend.
“Being a coach is one
of the most rewarding
experiences that I have
ever felt,” Davis shares.
“All you have to do is see
a participant respond as
if they just had an “a-ha!”
minute or have them tell
you that they have found

something new which
they tried and it worked!
This happens frequently
in the various sessions we
present.”
Davis encourages those
who are interested to
consider becoming a community coach. The AAA7
is currently recruiting
for volunteer community
coaches in the following
counties: Gallia, Jackson,
Lawrence, Pike, Ross,
Scioto and Vinton.
“As I have discovered,
we make a difference,” he
says. “I have seen participants try something new
and embrace it; others
have blossomed and acted
as ‘assistant coaches’;
many have taken signiﬁcant steps in accepting their condition and
ﬁnding effective ways of
dealing with it. If we have
helped only one participant in a particular session, we have made their
life better. What more can
you ask?”
The AAA7 currently
has a Community Coach
Training coming up in
Jackson, Ohio, beginning
July 10th. Those who are
interested must attend all
ﬁve days of the training:
July 10, 11, 12, 17 and
18. Training will be held
at the Jackson County
Water Company, located
at 124 West Huron Street
in Jackson each day noted
from 9:00 am – 4:30 pm.

training or if you have

Gene Greene said the
ordinance was to give the
residents a chance to have
a say about what would
happen in the park. Commissioner Matt Johnson
reportedly observed that
section D of the ordinance would not prevent
construction of anything
which had already come
before the commission.
City Solicitor Adam
Salisbury, according to the
notes, suggested that a
stipulation be added that
a petition of 50 percent of
eligible voters could elect
to allow construction in
the park. Johnson wanted
to amend the section to
say construction could
be allowed if 25 percent
of voters signed a petition and that a majority
of commissioners instead
of a unanimous vote be

required to approve such.
No second motion was put
forward in. Johnson then
made a motion to amend
the section in question to
ask for 50 percent of voters and a majority of City
Commission’s approval
vote, which again, did not
move forward for lacking
a second.
Eventually, the ordinance was tabled after
Johnson motioned and
Commissioner Roger
Brandeberry seconded.
According to legal counsel, if the ordinance was
to go before the Gallia
Board of Elections for
the coming November
election, the ordinance
could be adopted by commission by July or a little
after to still go onto the
ballot. The ordinance was
eventually tabled for further discussion at a later
meeting. The next city
commission meeting is
scheduled July 5 at 6 p.m.

THEIR VIEW

Thoughts on
celebrating
the Fourth
As we proceed from the holiday weekend into
the actual Independence Day celebration on Tuesday, here is an assortment platter of thoughts
about America’s birthday and how we recognize
the occasion.
Oh no, here comes the history again. We’re on
summer break, right? Spare us the
lectures. Sorry, but to fully appreciate what the Fourth is all about, you
have to know something about the
time in which the Declaration of
Independence was drafted as well as
the personal and public risk faced by
the leadership of a soon-to-be new
and free nation. Thirteen colonies

more than a year, all for the right
of self-determination and freedom
to choose. With reconciliation out of the question and the gallows awaiting the leaders of what
became the American Revolution, the choice of
independence was the only open and clear option,
no matter how fragile that union was at the time.
John Adams, a Massachusetts member of the
Continental Congress gathered in Philadelphia,
was put in charge of a committee to make some
bold statement about forever breaking ties with
London. “I knew Great Britain was determined
on her system, and that very determination determined me on mine,” Adams later reﬂected. “I had
passed the Rubicon, swim or sink, live or die, survive or perish with my country, was my unalterable determination.” As that responsibility thrust
him into an important role in the founding of a
country, Adams turned over the drafting of what
became the Declaration of Independence to Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson, already considered the best
writer in the group. His initial work in this area
was debated for a week before the ﬁnal version of
the declaration was approved on July 4, 1776, the
day the United States of America was born.
Jefferson later noted that he wasn’t trying to
establish new principles with this document or “to
say things which had never been said before, but
to place before mankind the common sense of the
subject … It was intended to be an expression of
the American mind.” Think of it: Cutting bonds
with a mother land and creating a new nation
on the shakiest of foundations, the outcome of
a protracted war in which no one could predict
the outcome. But despite conditions in which the
ﬂedgling America could have collapsed back under
British rule, the war was won and the former
colonists had a home to call their own, something
unheard of in those monarchial times.
And for Adams and Jefferson, their place in history among the founding fathers, assured if only
for the creation of the declaration, destiny still
placed each man at the forefront of their country’s
leadership into the new century. When George
Washington became president in 1789 after the
acceptance of a constitutional government, Adams
became our ﬁrst vice president and Jefferson the
initial secretary of state. Adams succeeded Washington as the chief executive and Jefferson was
elected the third president in 1800.
That both men died within hours of each other
on the nation’s 50th anniversary, July 4, 1826, is a
remarkable and thrilling fact that lends a layer of
greatness to what it took to craft a new country,
and to the courage and intellect of not only two
men mentioned here, but of many others who
shared in their vision.
***
Looking to buy a portable grill to do some
barbecue for the Fourth, my wife conducted an
informal survey with Facebook friends on charcoal-vs.-gas. We appreciate the response and the
insights on grilling with either cooking material,
and the results ran about neck-and-neck on them.
Gas is neater, but there is a certain ﬂavor from use
of charcoal that yields memories of those summer
afternoons back in the day when the bag of Kingsford and its briquettes let you know you were eating something pleasantly different.
At this point, it appears charcoal may win out
as we have purchased a chimney, a canister with
holes allowing for plenty of air, for the grill we
haven’t purchased as of this writing. The chimney
allows charcoal to turn the desired greyish-white
color, letting you know that it’s hot enough to use
on the grill. We hear it bypasses the need for lighting ﬂuid, thus removing the taste of the ﬂuid that
sometimes seeps into the food. We’ll ﬁnd out and
let you know.

they have been facing. For
example, Shelby County’s
2017 general fund budget
is currently less than the
budget passed in 2002.
Wayne County testiﬁed
that from 2007-2015 their
total revenue growth was
a net total of 1 percent.
Cuyahoga County shared
how they are projecting
a record 775 overdose
deaths in 2017 and that
this crisis has had a substantial impact on almost
every county system, the
statement noted.
“Now is not the time to
leave counties behind. In
the absence of a revenue
replacement mechanism,
counties will have to
reduce or eliminate funding for programs that

invest in economic growth
and exacerbate the growing pressure on important
systems like criminal
justice, public safety, and
child protection. The
demand on these services
is only growing in the
wake of the opiate epidemic,” said CCAO Executive
Director Suzanne Dulaney
in the email.
“We respect the importance of Ohio’s Medicaid
program, and the solution
put forth is speciﬁcally
tailored to protect the
State of Ohio from adverse
impacts to its existing
waiver. We appreciate that
the General Assembly
worked diligently with
us to ﬁnd a solution for
counties. We are hopeful
that the strong support
expressed by the General Assembly means that
there will yet be good
news for county government,” she concluded.
As previously reported
by the Sentinel, Meigs
County is to lose approximately $574,000 annually,
around 10 percent of its
total budget, due to the
tax loss. Under the transition assistance, noted by
Kasich, Meigs County
is to receive a one-time
payment of $3.4 million,
which is equal to approximately six years of the
tax loss.
In Gallia County, the
annual loss ﬁgure is
around $592,000.
The House of Representatives is set to meet on
July 6 for the possibility
of overriding the veto. It
is unknown if the senate
has set a date to consider
the veto override.

we would have nothing,”
said Mayes.
This trip alone accrued
substantial costs with
travel, food, lodging, and
gear for eight people
capable of reaching a signiﬁcant amount.
The teens had three
solid days of trout ﬁshing
on the Manistee, catching
rainbow, brown, brook,
and steelhead trout on
ﬂy rods. The ﬁrst day
was just the boys ﬁshing
to help get them acclimated to the new waters,
while the girls went to
the Sleeping Bear Sand
Dunes in Traverse City.
“We did this so that the
boys would be comfortable in the water, and
could help out the girls,”
said Mayes. On the second full day of ﬁshing, the
girls ended up catching
more ﬁsh than the boys,
who then had to do the
dishes after supper that
evening.
After three full days
in Manistee of ﬁshing,
hiking, and campﬁres,
the group packed up
early Tuesday morning
and made the long drive
home.
When asked about
competition between the
teens, Mayes explained
that he discourages it as
much as he can.
“There are plenty of
places to be competitive
in life, ﬁshing isn’t one of
them. When I see a kid
bragging about the size or
amount of ﬁsh he caught,
I tell him to go and help
someone not catching as
much.”
He explained how this

together and makes them
all better ﬁsherman, it

Point Pleasant senior Aislyn Hayman releases a throw in the Class AA discus final held Friday, May 19, at the 2017 WVSSAC track and field championships at Laidley
Field in Charleston, W.Va.

top-ﬁve honorees.
the campus of the University of Charleston.
She was a state qualiﬁer
(No. 5) and ended up on the
podium (No. 3) at the state
track and ﬁeld championships.
She accomplished a handful of
ﬁrsts (No. 4) in her prep career
and she has signed to continue
her athletic career at Marshall
University, though she won’t be
winning any Heisman awards
over the next four or ﬁve years.
Point Pleasant senior Aislyn
Hayman, however, did have one
thing that nobody else in the
OVP area could claim on her
resume … a state championship.
In fact, she did so well in her

prep ﬁnale that she actually
came home with two championships — in a span of four hours
on the same day.
Not a bad way to go out.
Hayman became the ﬁrst
female in Point Pleasant history
to win two state championships
in the same meet after conquering the Class AA ﬁeld in both
the shot put and discus ﬁnals
during the 2017 WVSSAC track
and ﬁeld championships held at
Laidley Field on the campus of

the University of Charleston.
Hayman — a four-year state
qualiﬁer in both events during
her career — ﬁnally came away
with the only thing missing
from her stellar list of prep
accomplishments during Day 1
of the tournament.
Hayman — who entered as
the favorite in both Class AA
throwing events — was more
than three feet better than
the entire shot put ﬁeld after
posting a winning heave of 40

feet, 11.5 inches. Her closest
competitor was Philip Barbour junior Kacey Neville, who
ﬁnished the afternoon with a
runner-up effort of 37 feet, 8
inches.
Following her ﬁrst-ever state
title in that 4 p.m. contest, Hayman had to turn around and
compete two hours later in the
discus ﬁnal — an event that she
was an easy favorite in by more
than 20 feet.
Hayman cruised to a second
state title after posting a ﬁnal
effort of 133 feet even in the
discus. Neville was again the
closest competitor in the Class
AA discus ﬁnal after posting a
runner-up throw of 112 feet, 4
inches.

New flag football league brings out stars
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) —
Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson ran pass patterns with big
smiles on their faces visible
throughout the stadium.
Michael Vick was ﬂinging
touchdown passes the way he
did in his peak as an NFL star.
Instead of an old-timers day,
this was more of a throwback
night with those three former
stars headlining lineups with
several former NFL players for
the debut event of the American Flag Football League in
hopes of showing that this
sport played mostly by kids
could have a future as a professional league.
“I’ve played ﬂag football
since I was a kid,” Johnson
said. “The only difference
about playing here and playing
other places, here was much
faster because the level of talent. Obviously everyone has

played before. It was extremely
fast.”
The American Flag Football
League played the game Tuesday in San Jose in advance of
plans by founder Jeff Lewis to
launch a spring league in 2018.
In front of a crowd of several
hundred people, Team Vick prevailed over Team Owens 64-41
behind Vick’s eight TD passes
and 547 yards passing.
“It’s something different,”
said Vick, who was attracted
to the sport by watching his
daughter play ﬂag football. “My
playing days are over but I can
play now and not get hit, not
get tackled. I think that’s pretty
cool.”
The game featured other
notable former NFL players
such as Justin Forsett, Kerry
Rhodes, Steve Smith and Nick
Collins; lesser-known players
looking for a break such as

Seibald, who was the top
collegiate player in the
country in 2009.
“I think it deﬁnitely
would help the league
to have some guys with
household names,”
Owens said. “But this
game is purely made
from speed. Just like any
other game, there’s a lot
of skill involved.”
Lewis knows marquee
names will draw fans
in initially. But Lewis
wants most of the teams
to be ﬁlled from a pool
of scores of younger
players who have been
recently cut or never
made NFL rosters rather
than out-of-shape oldtimers.
“You could trot 45
and 50-year-old football
players out and it would
be nice to see people
you remember but it’s
not going to be great,”
Lewis said. “We want
it to really be compellingly high quality. The
players who played who
have played previously
are going to be playing
because they’re worldclass athletes.”
Lewis got the idea to
start this league a few
years ago while watching
his son play ﬂag football
and wondered what it
would be like with elite
athletes instead of 8 or
9-year olds. He views
ﬂag football, which is
played by more than 2
million kids each year as
taking the game of football with the speed and
relatability to the players
that exist in sports such
as soccer and basketball,
where players aren’t hidden by helmets.
The league plans to
play up the interaction
with fans by having
players use social media
during games and not
penalizing over-the-top
celebrations, which
appealed to players such
as Johnson.
“The atmosphere was
really dope,” Johnson
said. “Being able to
interact with the fans,
being able to have your
phone on the sidelines,
being able to tweet while
the game is going on,
which I got ﬁned for
before, it’s dope. I really
think this is going to
hit the ground, hit the
ground running and be
extremely big at some
point.”
Making it look like
football and not some
gimmick was paramount
for Lewis. Except for a
few wrinkles such as the
center being an eligible
receiver which led to
former Pittsburgh quarterback Dennis Dixon
catching a 60-yard TD
from Vick on a wheel
route after snapping the
ball, it looked like sevenon-seven football.
The rules of the game
are fairly simple. Teams
get a ﬁrst down by crossing either 25-yard line or
midﬁeld. No blocking or
kicking is allowed, with
a “throw off” to start
each half and following
scores — with losers
walking to the other side
after touchdowns.
Teams are allowed one
lateral per play, there
are no “north-south”
handoffs and fumbles are
dead at the spot. Touchdowns are worth six
points, with a one-point
bonus for plays longer
than 50 yards, and teams
are allowed to go for
one, two or three points
after TDs depending on
where they line up.
Teams can’t rush the
quarterback for two
seconds after the snap
and the QB must get rid
of the ball within four
seconds. The quarterback can’t run unless he
is rushed and teams get
three blitzes per quarter.

Gordon to lead Brickyard 400 field as pace-car driver
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Jeff Gordon will get another
opportunity to lead the Brickyard 400 ﬁeld — and this time,
he’s not planning to come out
of retirement to do it.
Two years after bidding
farewell to his local fans, the
only ﬁve-time race winner will
return to Indy’s historic 2.5mile oval as the pace-car driver
next month.
“This has been a very special
race over the years — for me
and NASCAR,” Gordon said in
a statement issued Thursday
by race ofﬁcials. “Winning at
the famous Indianapolis Motor
Speedway was a dream of mine

as a kid. I’m excited to lead
the ﬁeld to green at this year’s
Brickyard 400.”
Gordon is a native of California but attended high school
just a short drive away from
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
in Pittsboro, Indiana.
He won the inaugural Brickyard in 1994 and the Rainbow
Warrior has started every race
in Indy since, claiming three
poles and producing 17 top-10
ﬁnishes.
Last year, organizers also
wanted to make Gordon the
pace-car driver.
Instead, he came out of
retirement to replace the

injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. for
Hendrick Motorsports and ﬁnished 13th in his season debut.
Earnhardt was recovering
from a concussion last summer
and has already announced this

Pacers trade forward
Paul George to Thunder
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Paul George has a new home,
and Russell Westbrook has a
new star teammate.
The Indiana Pacers have
agreed to trade George to the
Oklahoma City Thunder for
Victor Oladipo and Domantas
Sabonis, said two people with
knowledge of the details. The
stunning deal gives Westbrook, the newly crowned
NBA MVP, some serious help
next season.
Teams came together on the
trade Friday just hours before
the free agent market was set
to open, said the people who
spoke to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity
because the trade was not ofﬁcial.
George told the Pacers recently that he planned to leave as a
free agent next summer, forcing
the team to ﬁnd a trade before
losing him for nothing.
The trade was ﬁrst reported
by ESPN.
George could have been in
line for the so-called “Supermax” extension — a ﬁve-year
pact worth about $205 million

— with Indiana this summer,
had he been voted onto the AllNBA team this offseason.
He wasn’t, though if he is
an All-NBA player next season
— which is certainly possible
with the numbers he could post
playing alongside Westbrook
— George would be eligible for
a huge payday again. And the
irony there is that if he is set on
joining the Los Angeles Lakers
in 2018, as has been reported
for some time, George would
miss out on that massive extra
windfall.
George is the second Eastern
Conference All-Star from this
past season to join the alreadyloaded Western Conference in
the last few days. Jimmy Butler
was traded by Chicago to Minnesota on draft night.
Indiana will be Oladipo’s
third team, after starting his
career in Orlando and spending
last season in Oklahoma City.
He’s averaged 15.9 points per
game in his four pro seasons, on
43 percent shooting.
Sabonis started 66 games as
a rookie last season with the
Thunder, averaging 5.9 points.

Rookies Judge, Bellinger grab All-Star attention
NEW YORK (AP) —
Time to pick players for
the All-Star Game and
make those close calls.
Yankees rookie Aaron
Judge and Washington
slugger Bryce Harper
are among the big names
who have undoubtedly
secured their spots in
Miami on July 11.
But there’s a logjam
at the corners in the
National League, and
both rosters are smaller
now that the Midsummer Classic no longer
determines where the
World Series begins.
“I’m OK with this,”
Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.
“When you’re combining the attempt to play
everybody and win the
game for the sake of the
National League so you
get home-ﬁeld advantage, there’s a lot going
on.”
Online voting for the
starters ended at midnight Thursday, so let’s
take a swing at sorting
it all out — ignoring fan
and player balloting.
Simply our choices.
Both teams get 32
players, including 12
pitchers.
That’s down from 34
last year, with at least 13
pitchers.
But all 30 clubs still
must be represented,
and that’s where it really
gets tricky.
For the purpose of
these selections, we
eliminated players
expected to remain on
the disabled list through
Sunday night, when the
rosters will be revealed.
That means stars like
Mike Trout and Dallas Keuchel, who were
having All-Star seasons
before they got injured,
were left out because
it’s unclear if they’ll be

healthy enough to participate at Marlins Park.
Banged-up players on
the cusp of returning to
action within a few days
were given full consideration.
Maddon will manage
the NL squad after guiding the Cubs to a World
Series title last season.
Cleveland skipper
Terry Francona runs the
American League team.
Here we go:
American League
FIRST BASE — The
stunning starter is
Toronto switch-hitter
Justin Smoak, followed
closely by another
unexpected newcomer:
Tampa Bay’s Logan Morrison. Yonder Alonso
represents last-place
Oakland.
SECOND BASE —
Little big man Jose
Altuve is a huge reason
Houston has been the
best team in baseball
most of the year. His
backups are Baltimore’s
Jonathan Schoop and
Seattle star Robinson
Cano.
SHORTSTOP — Carlos Correa makes it an
all Astros double-play
combination. Smoothﬁelding Andrelton Simmons of the Angels is on
the bench.
THIRD BASE — More
surprises here, with
Cleveland up-and-comer
Jose Ramirez getting the
start over Minnesota
bopper Miguel Sano.
CATCHER — Steady
backstop Salvador Perez
of the Royals receives
his ﬁfth straight nod.
Young slugger Gary Sanchez from the Yankees
gets his ﬁrst.
OUTFIELD — Leading off, instant power
from George Springer
of the Astros. He starts

Frank Franklin II | AP

New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge runs the bases after hitting a home run against the Los Angeles Angels
in a June 20 game in New York. It’s time to make the tough calls on which players warrant selection
to the upcoming All-Star Game in Miami. Rest assured, rookie sensation Judge and perennial slugger
Bryce Harper have secured their spots.

in center ﬁeld, with the
towering Judge in right
and Chicago ﬁrst-timer
Avisail Garcia shifting
to left. The reserves are
Boston’s Mookie Betts,
Detroit’s Justin Upton
and Kansas City’s Lorenzo Cain.
DESIGNATED HITTER — Corey Dickerson
of the Rays hits his way
to a surprising spot in
the lineup. Mariners
thumper Nelson Cruz
also gets a call.
STARTING PITCHERS — Chris Sale
claims starting honors
in his debut season with
the Red Sox. The other
lefty is Jason Vargas,
enjoying quite a comeback with the Royals.
Dealing from the right
side are Houston ﬁrsttimer Lance McCullers
Jr., Minnesota veteran
Ervin Santana, Texas
ace Yu Darvish, reigning Rookie of the Year
Michael Fulmer from

Detroit, and Cleveland
teammates Corey Kluber
and Carlos Carrasco.
Toronto right-hander
Marcus Stroman was a
tough omission.
RELIEVERS — Boston ﬂame-thrower Craig
Kimbrel anchors a bullpen that also features
Indians lefty Andrew
Miller, Blue Jays closer
Roberto Osuna and
Houston setup man
Chris Devenski.
National League
FIRST BASE — So
many sluggers to choose
from. In the end, Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt
gets the starting nod
over Cincinnati’s Joey
Votto, Chicago’s Anthony Rizzo and resurgent
Ryan Zimmerman from
Washington. Seems
unfair to have to deny
Rockies savior Mark
Reynolds, putting up
magniﬁcent numbers
and never an All-Star in

10 previous big league
seasons.
SECOND BASE —
Daniel Murphy is one of
six Nationals selected,
most of any team.
Pirates dynamo Josh
Harrison is the backup.
SHORTSTOP — The
starter is 2016 Rookie of
the Year Corey Seager
from the Dodgers. He
edges out Reds ﬁrsttimer Zack Cozart.
THIRD BASE —
Another power-packed
position overloaded
with deserving candidates. Colorado’s Nolan
Arenado wins the start,
barely beating out Washington’s Anthony Rendon and reigning MVP
Kris Bryant from the
Cubs. Somehow, there’s

Blake Griffin
returning to
the Clippers
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Blake Grifﬁn was
in line to be one of the
most pursued players in
free agency.
That is, until he decided to skip free agency.
And his reward for
that will be one of the
richest contracts in in
NBA history.
Hours before other
teams could ofﬁcially
start trying to woo
him away from the Los
Angeles Clippers, Grifﬁn agreed to terms on
a ﬁve-year deal worth
approximately $175 million to remain with the
Los Angeles Clippers,
according to a person
with knowledge of the
situation. The person
spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of
anonymity because the
deal cannot be formally
announced until at least
July 6.
Grifﬁn’s deal will be
worth about $22 million
more than the thenrecord $153 million
contract Memphis guard
Mike Conley signed last
summer. But the total
value of Grifﬁn’s deal
will likely be surpassed
in this free-agent frenzy,
with players like Golden
State’s Stephen Curry
eligible to get even
more.
Grifﬁn was planning to

meet with other teams
this weekend, including
Phoenix, but canceled
those talks after striking
the deal to stay in Los
Angeles.
Griffin is still only
28, and the Clippers
hope that means he’s
just entering his prime.
And his agreeing to
stay with the Clippers
ensures that it won’t
be a total reset in L.A.
next season. His team
will however look decidedly different, after
nine-time All-Star Chris
Paul decided to leave
and wound up getting
traded ahead of the freeagency window to the
Houston Rockets in a
blockbuster deal earlier
this week.
Grifﬁn was the No. 1
overall pick in the 2009
draft, then missed that
entire ensuing season
with a left knee injury.
He was extremely durable over what became
his ﬁrst four seasons,
but a variety of other
injuries sidelined him
for 83 games — a full
season plus one game
— over the last three
years alone. And he was
hurt during the Clippers’ ﬁrst-round playoff
matchup against Utah
this season.
The Clippers lost that
series in seven games.

Marshall to allow beer
sales in stadium
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Beer sales will be
allowed throughout Marshall University’s stadium
for home football games starting this fall.
The school’s Board of Governors approved the
new policy Wednesday.
It includes designation of multiple alcohol-free
seating sections.
The athletic department also unveiled plans for
two construction projects on the west side of the
stadium, to be completed by August.
Additional retail space for sale of ofﬁcial Herd
athletics merchandise is being added between Gates
B and C on the southwest side.
On the northwest side, between Gates A and B,
the concourse stadium expansion will provide additional space for vendors.
Televisions will also be added in front of the main
concession stands throughout Joan C. Edwards
Stadium.
Marshall’s ﬁrst game of the season is at home
Sept. 2 against Miami (Ohio).

Justice Department gives up
Redskins name fight
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department
is giving up the legal ﬁght over the name of the
Washington Redskins.
In a letter to a federal appeals court, the department said last week’s Supreme Court decision in
Matal v. Tam in favor of an Asian-American band
calling itself the Slants means the NFL team will
prevail in a legal battle to cancel the team’s trademarks because the name is disparaging to Native
Americans.
“Consistent with Tam, the Court should reverse
the judgment of the district court and remand the
case with instructions to enter judgment in favor
of Pro-Football,” Mark Freeman, an attorney for
the Justice Department’s civil division, wrote to
the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th Circuit Court of
Appeals.
The Redskins case had been on hold in the federal appeals court while the Slants decision was
rendered. The Supreme Court found that Simon
Tam could trademark the Slants as the name of
his Asian-American rock band because it would
be unconstitutional for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Ofﬁce to discriminate against it, citing the
First Amendment’s free speech protection. The
justices were unanimous in saying the 71-year-old
trademark law barring disparaging terms infringes

free speech rights.
Redskins owner Dan Snyder said last week he
was “thrilled” by the Supreme Court’s ruling,
and lawyer Lisa Blatt said it resolves the team’s
dispute and vindicated its position. Snyder has
refused to change the name despite intense public pressure, saying in the past that the name
“represents honor, respect and pride” for Native
Americans.

Chase Elliott signs extension
through 2022 with Hendrick
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chase Elliott has
signed a four-year contract extension to drive for
Hendrick Motorsports through 2022.
The current contract ran through 2018 for Elliott,
driver of the iconic No. 24 Chevrolet.
Elliott originally signed with Hendrick Motorsports as a development driver in February 2011 as a
15-year-old high school freshman.
He replaced Jeff Gordon last year in the Cup
Series and was the top rookie.
Elliott qualiﬁed for the playoffs and had 10 topﬁve ﬁnishes and 17 top-10s.
He also won two poles, including the seasonopening Daytona 500.
He is currently sixth in the Cup standings, but
still seeking his ﬁrst series victory.
Elliott is the son of NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill
Elliott.

Venus Williams sued by crash
victims’ family in Florida
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Tennis star
Venus Williams is being sued by the family of a
Florida man who died after a car crash police say
she caused.
The Palm Beach County Court Clerk’s Ofﬁce conﬁrmed the family of 78-year-old Jerome Barson ﬁled
the lawsuit Friday.
Palm Beach Gardens police on Thursday released
a report saying Williams caused the June 9 crash
that left Barson seriously injured. He died two
weeks later.
Investigators say witnesses and Barson’s wife,
Linda, told them Williams’ SUV crossed in front of
the Barsons’ sedan after the couple’s light turned
green. Williams told investigators her light was
green when she entered the six-lane intersection but
she got stopped midpoint by trafﬁc and didn’t see
the Barsons’ car before she crossed their lane.
She has not been cited or charged.

Teaming with Kevin
Love, rookie Rubio had
the Wolves in position
to make the playoffs
in the Western Conference when he tore the
ACL in his knee in a
game against the Lakers in March 2012.
Rubio also missed 60
games in 2014-15 with
a severely sprained
ankle that required
surgery. The two major
injuries affected his
ability to work out during the summers, when
players often make
the biggest strides
in developing their
games.
Finally, in year No.
6, Rubio started to
show signs of his
potential. Over the last
2 1/2 months of the
season, he averaged
15.0 points and 10.3
assists while shooting
41.7 percent from the
ﬁeld and 37 percent
from 3-point range,
helping to take some of
the scoring load after
Zach LaVine went
down with his own
torn ACL.
The performance
was validating for a
player who had been
criticized during most
of his NBA career for
his poor shooting, and
for an owner who had
backed him through
all the injuries, all the
shooting struggles and
through the heartbreaking death of his mother
during the 2015-16
season. Glen Taylor
and Rubio had grown
close over the years,
and Taylor very much
wanted to keep Rubio
as the passer with the
new nucleus of Butler,
Towns and Wiggins.
Rubio has been the
subject of trade rumors
for much of his career,
but they started to feel
to him like more than
just the typical talk
once Tom Thibodeau
took over as coach and
president of basketball
operations last summer.

“In the worst case,
our research shows that
ﬁt is only a 5 percent
issue. In lab testing with
helmets way too tight
and way too loose, you

said in an email. “The
schools that can afford
to have so many helmets
also have a great deal of
staff to help with this. In
the end, I do not see it as

Anderson said advances in helmet technology

In the NFL, this will be
the ﬁfth season in which
players may only wear
the one helmet. In 2013,
the league’s Head, Neck
and Spine Committee
and the Player Safety
Advisory Panel recommended that players no
longer be given new helmets to match alternative
uniforms. Any aesthetic

MINNEAPOLIS
(AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves
reached an agreement
with Utah on Friday to
send point guard Ricky
Rubio to the Jazz to
clear salary cap space
for a big run in free
agency.
The Jazz sent a
protected future ﬁrstround pick from the
Oklahoma City Thunder to the Timberwolves in exchange for
Rubio, the Spaniard
who has struggled
with injuries at times
over his six years
in Minnesota. Utah
received the pick when
it traded Enes Kanter
in a three-team deal in
2015.
The two sides
agreed to the move
hours before free
agency opened. The
Jazz needed to make
the deal before July 1
or would have lost the
salary cap room necessary to pull it off.
They Jazz are looking to bolster the roster with hopes of convincing All-Star freeagent Gordon Hayward
to return and build off
last season’s playoff
run. Utah reached the
playoffs for the ﬁrst
time since 2012.
Rubio’s arrival
likely means the end
of George Hill’s run in
Utah, though general
manager Dennis Lindsey said Wednesday
that Hill remained a
top priority. Hill averaged a career-high
16.9 points after being
acquired from Indiana
last summer. Injuries,
however, limited him to
49 games and caused
Hill to miss the ﬁnal
three playoff games
against Golden State.
The deal means Minnesota can clear as
much as $32 million
in cap space to make
a run at several free
agents to pair with
Karl-Anthony Towns,
Andrew Wiggins and
the recently acquired
Jimmy Butler. Timberwolves targets could
include Jeff Teague
and J.J. Redick.
Rubio was drafted

Sprucing up the village
By Sarah Hawley

MIDDLEPORT —
From fresh paint to ﬂowers in bloom, a quick
drive through Middleport
makes it easy to see the
work taking place by
many volunteers, businesses and village workers.
Work began on the
repainting of several
downtown buildings in
April, with members of
Middleport Lodge 363
volunteering their time
to work on some of the
buildings along Second
Avenue. Freemasons have
been involved in Middleport for 151 years. Middleport Masonic Lodge
No. 363 was formed
October 1866, and Marcus Bosworth was the
ﬁrst Master of the Lodge,
according to information
provided by Lodge Secretary Don Stivers who
was among the painting
volunteers.
Freemasonry is deeply
involved with helping
people. Masonic related
groups in the United
States, including Lodges,
Shriners, Scottish and
York Rite, Grotto and the
Order of the Eastern Star,
contribute more than $2
million every day to charity. Various college scholarships are also available.

to local charities and
organizations through the
years, stated Stivers.
The work by the
masons lead to others
in the village taking the
steps to paint or resurface
their buildings, including
The Yellow Umbrella,
Foreman and Abbott and
King’s Hardware.
While all of the storefronts may not be full of
businesses, volunteers
have taken the time to
decorate some of the
vacant windows with
displays leading up to
Memorial Day weekend
and the Fourth of July.
Additional buildings
in the area, including
the former bank and the
former Do-It rental center
will be home to Home
National Bank and the
Meigs County Historical
Society, respectively, in
the coming months. Work

The second winner of Yard of the Week is Doris Smith, who lives at 510 South Second
Ave. Smith also does the yard work herself and in addition has been taking care of her
neighbor’s yard that has been vacant for some time, the group stated.

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

Creating Healthy Communities Program
The Creating Healthy
Communities coalition
is working to promote
active transportation
not just for health and
recreation but as a mode
of transportation to get
to and from destinations.
Active transportation
includes any form of
human- powered transportation, including walking, biking, skating, etc.
Active transportation is
ideal to take short trips,
such as running quick
errands or commuting
short distances to work.
In efforts to promote an
active lifestyle, the Creat-

ing Healthy Communities
Program recently hosted
Yay Bikes! in Meigs County for Professional Development Bicycle Rides.
Two separate bike rides
took place that traveled
through several villages
within the county. The
goal of the ride was to
experience ﬁrst-hand the
atmosphere for bicycling
in Meigs County.
To begin, riders were
educated on bicycle
safety when traveling on
a roadway. Per the Ohio

who spent 17 months
in detention in North
Korea for stealing a propaganda poster. Warmbier died days after
returning home to Ohio
in a coma.
“I don’t think that I’m
going to see him again
alive,” said Laurie Holt,
crying in her kitchen.
“That’s my biggest fear
after watching what the
family with Otto went
through.”
Richardson, who has
worked for the release
of dozens of Americans
held abroad, was brought
in by the Holt family
about eight months ago
to try to quietly open a
line of communication
with Maduro’s government.
His work complements
diplomatic efforts by

U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch,
R-Utah, and others.
Hatch said this week he’s
still hopeful the efforts
will pay off.
Richardson has met
three times with Venezuela’s Ambassador to the
United Nations, Rafael
Ramirez, to discuss
the case as well as with
former Spanish Prime
Minister Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero, who last
year attempted to bring
Maduro to the negotiating table with his political opponents. Although
Holt was not known to
be part of that dialogue
effort, one of the Venezuelan opposition’s
key demands for talks
is freedom for political
prisoners.
Richardson, who got
to know Maduro when
the president served as

the late Hugo Chavez’s
foreign minister, said
he was told through
informal channels since
the unrest began three
months ago that the government was open to him
visiting Caracas to make
the case for a humanitarian release.
But he has not yet
received a Venezuelan
visa. He said he thinks
involvement of President
Trump might be able to
break the stalemate by
offering Venezuelans a
potential channel to discuss other irritants in the
relationship. The countries have not exchanged
ambassadors since 2010.
“His personal intervention might prove
decisive,” Richardson,
referring to Trump, told
The Associated Press in
a telephone interview.

“A humanitarian release
could maybe pave way
for a dialogue on other
issues between the two
governments at time
when relations are rock
bottom. I can’t guarantee
it, but I’ve seen some
comments that it might
be a path.”
Hopes were high in
December of a humanitarian release of Holt,
after Citgo Petroleum
Corp., the U.S. afﬁliate of
Venezuela’s state-owned
oil company, donated
$500,000 to Trump’s
inaugural and Maduro
was aiming for rapprochement with Trump,
who he saw as a common
ally of Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
But relations between
the two countries have
since deteriorated, with
Maduro recently telling
Trump to get his “dirty
hands off Venezuela”
and blaming the U.S. for
stoking anti-government
demonstrations that have
left at least 75 people
dead and hundreds
injured or jailed.
Richardson said what
happened to Warmbier
show that “time is no
longer a neutral factor.”
