local partners, places
historical markers all
over the state that commemorate important
people, places and

history. For over 60
years, this historical
marker program has
supported the placement of more than 1600
bronze markers across
Ohio. A local sponsor,
usually a historical society, civic organization

CLEVELAND (AP) —
American Greetings has
apologized for a Father’s
Day card that drew criticism on social media for
depicting a black couple
over the words “Baby
Daddy.”
The inside of the card
reads: “You’re a wonderful husband and father
— and I’m so grateful to
have you as my partner,
my friend, and my baby
daddy! Happy Father’s
Day.”
American Greetings
says the front page communicated “an unintentional meaning that is
out-of-touch and offensive.” Communications
director Patrice Molnar
says the company is adding steps to its product
review process “to ensure
cards like this are not created.”
Retailer Target saw
the discussion on social
media and asked American Greetings to remove
the card from 900 stores
where it was available.
Spokesman Joshua
Thomas says it was never
the company’s intent to
offend.

COLUMBUS, Ohio
— One of Ohio’s most
powerful lawmakers has
been quietly cleared in a
sexual harassment probe
conducted by an outside
law ﬁrm where he had
worked for 36 years,
according to a report
obtained by The Associated Press.
Republican state Rep.
Bill Seitz, of Cincinnati,
was investigated after a
female House employee
complained Jan. 30 that
statements he made at
a staff going-away party
had worsened an already
hostile work environment at the Statehouse.
Seitz made light of
a Statehouse sexual
harassment scandal that
prompted the resignation of then-Sen. Cliff
Hite, a Republican, and
made fun of one current

Ohio state Sen. Bill Seitz has been cleared of sexual harassment
by the law firm where he worked for 36 years. The firm, which was
retained by the state attorney general’s office to independently
investigate a complaint by a female House employee, concluded
in April 2018 that the Republican lawmaker from Cincinnati had
not violated the House’s anti-harassment policy in remarks at an
off-site party the employee claimed “glorified a sexual harasser
and minimized his victim and all victims of sexual harassment.”

THEIR VIEW

Ohio University creates
opportunities, economic
growth for Ohioans
The results of a new economic impact study
demonstrate Ohio University’s signiﬁcant positive
impact on the state, region and Athens community.
We recently engaged Economic Modeling Specialists International (Emsi), a leading provider of
economic impact studies, in an economic impact
study that, among other things, provides a compelling case for maintaining a strong system of
public higher education in our state.
The study analyzes Ohio University’s economic impact on the state’s
economy and a comparison of costs
and beneﬁts to determine return on
investment. More speciﬁcally, the
study takes a close look at the impact
OHIO has on students, taxpayers
and society.
I truly believe that the numbers
M. Duane
speak for themselves:
Nellis
Ohio University, its students and
Contributing
statewide alumni added $2.9 billion
columnist
in income to the state’s economy in
2016-17. That’s 0.5 percent of the
Gross State Product.
The University’s total economic impact of $2.9
billion supported 40,021 jobs, which represents 1
out of every 174 jobs in the state.
Whether viewed from a student, taxpayer or a
societal perspective, higher education’s positive
return on investment is solid. For example, Ohio
University students realize a 12.8 percent annual
return on their investment – or $4 in future earnings for every $1 they spend on tuition, supplies
and opportunity costs.
OHIO alumni beneﬁt from a signiﬁcant lifetime
earnings premium. The impact of former students
currently employed in Ohio’s workforce amounted
to $2.2 billion in added income in 2016-17.
Ohio taxpayers realize an 8.7 percent annual
return on their investment in Ohio University –
with the beneﬁt coming in the form of future tax
revenue and government savings resulting from
reducing costs incurred by the state to pay for
healthcare, criminal justice programs and unemployment insurance.
Over a working lifetime, an average bachelor’s
degree completer from OHIO will earn approximately $1,082,400 more than an individual with
only a high school diploma or equivalent.
The analysis considered spending in areas such
as daily operations, research, clinical spending,
construction spending, start-up and spin-off companies, student spending, visitor spending and
alumni spending.
Beyond the numbers captured in this report,
OHIO remains steadfast in its commitment to
forge strategic alliances between partners and
stakeholders, on campus and off, for economic
development. These alliances bring together the
expertise of individuals and programs in innovation and scholarship, the stewardship of place, and
talent development.
For example, over the past few years Ohio University has taken steps to develop a strategy – now
designated the Innovation Strategy – to ensure
that the institution continues to engage substantively with the challenges of the 21st century. That
program recently provided funding to three new
initiatives that advance interdisciplinary research
and student and community engagement.
We have also partnered with The Ohio State
University and Kent State University on the Ohio
Innovation Fund, which helps to foster innovative companies that emerge out of the research
conducted at OHIO, Ohio State, Kent State and
other public universities in the State of Ohio. One
of the Ohio Innovation Fund’s ﬁrst projects was
instrumental in assembling a $5.5M total investment in Global Cooling Inc., a growing company
based in Athens County. We have made a substantial investment in TechGROWTH Ohio, a publicprivate partnership that provides entrepreneurial
support to startup companies in southeastern
Ohio. The Athens Area Chamber of Commerce
recently honored TechGROWTH Ohio with the
2015 Holzaepfel award, the top economic development award in the region.
But what does all of this mean for the average
Ohioan? First and foremost, our state’s economic
future – our collective ability to attract and retain
investment and jobs – depends on our ability to
supply employers with skilled, credentialed workers. Today, Ohio faces a substantial gap between
job requirements and worker skills and knowledge. Ohio University plays a critical role to help
narrow the state’s “talent gap.”
If these aren’t reasons enough – consider that
Ohio University generates more ﬁnancial beneﬁt
than it receives in tax dollars. It enables the state
to retain and create wealth. And, higher education
will continue to play a key role in our state’s economic development.
College-level learning is key to economic opportunity, competitive advantage and economic prosperity – for individuals, businesses and the state,
and I, for one, remain ﬁrm in my belief that Ohio
University drives economic activity, creates economic opportunity and is a great long-term investment for students and the state.
Dr. M. Duane Nellis is the 21st president of Ohio University.

THEIR VIEW

When a brick is not just a brick
Reading about Middleport residents’ concerns
over keeping some semblance of brick street paving in their community
(Sarah Hawley, “History
Commission, EPA discuss Middelport project,”
Sunday Times-Sentinel,
June 10) prompted some
thought about their point
and how correct it is for
the preservation of what
makes the village unique.
Streets in brick may
not seem like a big deal,
but it does indicate a
certain look to the community that reaches back
beyond the introduction of automobiles as a
means of getting around.
Considering that those
thoroughfares were only
dirt at one time in the
past, brick was a step up
that also accommodated
the image of the town
and the period structures
that endured over the
years.
As such, brick streets
compliment Middleport’s
historic status as an Ohio
River town that never
really lost its connection
with the Ohio. Nor with
the trafﬁc that plies its
waters, be it either for
commercial reasons or

Observing Internet Safety Month
By Erica Thornton

Special to Times-Sentinel

June is ofﬁcially
“Internet Safety
Month.” The safe use
of the internet on any
device is of great importance, not only for children, but adults as well.
While there are many
dangers on the internet, it is possible to be
safe while browsing the
internet if one employs
a good deal of common
sense. There are many
predators, bullies, and
people who would use
personal information
for ill intent everywhere
today online. Statistics
show that:
95 percent of social
media-using teens who
have witnessed cruel
behavior on social networking sites say they
have seen others ignoring the mean behavior.
This means that
individuals are sticking
to themselves online.
They don’t seem to step
in and lend a helping
hand when it is needed

when bullying or other
issues are concerned.
This means that for 55
percent of online users
who see abuse happening on a frequent basis
online, there is no place
to turn for help. That is
why having an increased
awareness of internet
safety is so crucial.
Statistics to be aware
of:
42 percent of children
between the ages of
6-17 who say they’ve
been exposed to hardcore pornography while
browsing the internet.
29 percent of parents
that allow their children to use the internet
without restriction or
supervision.
1 in 20 children will
meet total strangers
online and then arrange
a secret meeting with
them.
25 percent of children
pretend to be older
while browsing online
than they really are.
1 in 12 kids have
exchanged messages
with strangers that were

sexual in nature.
1 in 25 kids ages 6-17
who say they have sent
graphic photographs
of themselves online at
least once.
A study by McAfee,
found that 87 % of teens
have observed cyberbullying.
32 percent of kids in
their teens hide their
browsing history from
their parents or guardians to try to prevent
them from seeing which
sites they visit.
16 percent of teens
have a hidden email
address or social networking account.
11 percent of kids
who have access to the
internet say that they
know how to turn off
the installed parental
controls.

One step at a time
Taking on spinal cord infarcation
By Dean Wright
deanwright@aimmediamidwest.
com

GALLIPOLIS — Gallipolis resident Mike
Brown, past city commissioner and area
volunteer, after over a
year of struggling with
a health challenge, says
he is determined to walk
again.
He wishes to spread
awareness of what has
been called a rare medical condition as he seeks
to overcome nerve damage in his attempts to
walk unassisted again.
“It’s not been an easy
road to hoe, I’ll tell you,”
said Brown. “It’s been
pretty rough…They
(medical professionals)
didn’t think I would live
last year. They thought I
wouldn’t be able to make
it because I was really
in bad shape. It all came
as a total shock and surprise.”
Brown said he was
getting ready to go out
to eat and was preparing
to bathe on Feb. 7, 2017,
when “it hit me all the
sudden.” He had tingling
on his left side from his
waist down and was on
the ﬂoor and could not
get up. He did not have
his phone with him and
he said it took him all
night to get himself to
the bottom of his steps,
having been on the second ﬂoor, around 6 a.m.
before he was able to
reach someone for help.
“I called him and I said
‘Heath, I think I’ve had a
stroke,’” said Brown.
Brown lauded Vinton
Baptist Pastor Heath Jenkins as a supporter and
friend throughout the
process of his medical
recovery.
Doctors identiﬁed
Brown as having suffered
a spinal cord infarcation. According to the
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke’s website, “Spinal
cord infarction is a stroke
either within the spinal
cord or the arteries that
supply it. It is caused
by arteriosclerosis or a
thickening or closing of
the major arteries to the
spinal cord. Frequently
spinal cord infarction is
caused by a speciﬁc form
of arteriosclerosis called
atheromatosis, in which
a deposit or accumulation of lipid-containing
matter forms within the
arteries. Symptoms,
which generally appear
within minutes or a few
hours of the infarction,
may include intermittent
sharp or burning back

ADDISON TOWNSHIP — Students and

made a contribution
to a fundraiser called

fund further research
in improving the lives
of diabetics. Dollars for

Judge considers public
access to data about
opioid shipments
CLEVELAND (AP) —
A federal judge in Ohio
will consider whether
to allow public access to
government data detailing years of prescription
opioid painkiller shipments.
The information is
at the heart of lawsuits
ﬁled by hundreds of local
governments against the
companies that manufacture, distribute and
sell the drugs, which are
blamed for sparking an
addiction and overdose
crisis that killed more
42,000 Americans in
2016 alone.
The federal government agreed earlier this
year to share the data
with the governments in
cases overseen by Judge
Dan Polster in U.S. District Court in Cleveland.
The agreement came
with tight limits allowing only the plaintiffs to
see the information.
But journalists for
The Washington Post
and HD Media, which
owns The Charleston
Gazette-Mail in West Virginia, have made public
records requests seeking
the data. The Charleston
newspaper reported in
2016 on a version of data
that it obtained for West
Virginia, ﬁnding that
780 million pills ﬂowed
into the state over a

six-year period during
which more than 1,700
residents died in overdoses from prescription
opioids.
The state is among
the most ravaged by the
opioid crisis, which has
hit Appalachia especially
hard. Death rates from
illicit opioids such as
heroin and fentanyl have
continued to climb even
as doctors have reduced
prescribing of legal versions such as OxyContin
and Vicodin.
In his order issued
Wednesday, Polster said
he would consider the
requests and any similar
ones in one swoop.
“The Court will rule
on this issue only once,”
he wrote.
He set deadlines in
late June and early July
for legal briefs on the
issue but did not say
when he would rule.
Polster is preparing for
trials next year in cases
brought by some local
governments in Ohio,
including Cleveland and
Cuyahoga and Summit
Counties. He also is
overseeing negotiations
involving both local and
state governments aimed
at forging a national
settlement that could
have the drug industry
pay damages and change
some of its practices.

Michigan State
trustees call for school
president to resign
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Two Michigan
State University board trustees are calling for
interim school president John Engler to resign
immediately, joining a chorus of sexual assault
victims of disgraced former sports doctor Larry
Nassar and top legislators who say the campus
community cannot heal until Engler steps down.
“Unfortunately, and with great regret, John
Engler’s tenure as interim president has continued
the bleeding rather than stem it,” Brian Mosallam
said in a statement released Friday morning. “His
misguided actions and comments have failed to reestablish trust and conﬁdence in Michigan State.”
His disapproval was echoed by trustee Dianne
Byrum a few hours later.
“The despicable and disparaging comments
made about survivors by interim president John
Engler are completely unacceptable,” she said. “I
have concluded he is no longer the right person
to lead Michigan State University during this difﬁcult period.”
Engler sent emails in April to another university
ofﬁcial criticizing lawyers who represent Nassar’s
assault victims and suggesting the ﬁrst woman to
go public with her accusations was probably getting a “kickback” from her attorney.
Michigan State has since agreed to a $500 million settlement with hundreds of women and girls
who said they were sexually assaulted by Nassar, a
former campus sports doctor now serving decades
in prison.
“I’m very grateful to see leadership coming from
trustee Mosallam,” said Rachael Denhollander,
the Nassar victim mentioned in the Engler emails.
“Leadership isn’t going along to get along. Leadership is doing the hard and right things, no matter
what.”
Engler was unbowed Friday, saying he is looking ahead to a public Board of Trustees meeting
scheduled for next Friday, “where we will continue
our progress and efforts to move forward.”
“Whatever the tensions were before, we have
successfully negotiated a settlement agreement —
something that is fair and equitable to both sides,
and that both sides agreed to,” he said in a statement. “I believe actions matter, and that is how
the success of our work will be determined.”
Denhollander, who has repeatedly criticized
Michigan State’s response to the Nassar scandal,
earlier Friday called on trustees Byrum, Melanie
Foster, chairman Brian Breslin and Mitch Lyons to
join their colleague on Wednesday, saying they so
far “haven’t had the courage to do the same.”
The Associated Press has left messages for comment with Foster, Breslin, Lyons and fellow trustees Joel Ferguson, George Perles and Dan Kelly.
Pressure from outraged Michigan legislators is
also mounting. Joining fellow Republicans in his
caucus, Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof
“is very disappointed and does agree that Engler
should resign,” said his spokeswoman Amber
McCann. Republican House Speaker Tom Leonard
declined to comment. Engler was once Michigan’s
Republican governor.
Engler exchanged emails with Carol Viventi, a
Michigan State vice president and special counsel
following allegations at a stormy public meeting
that Engler was trying to pay off a woman without her lawyer’s input. The Chronicle of Higher
Education and Detroit Free Press reported on the
emails Wednesday.
“The survivors now are being manipulated by
trial lawyers who in the end will each get millions
of dollars more than any of individual survivors
with the exception of Denhollander who is likely
to get kickback from Manley for her role in the
trial lawyer manipulation,” Engler said, misspelling attorney John Manly’s name.

Byus plays part in South sweep
By Scott Jones

sjones@aimmediamidwest.com

BUFFALO, W. Va. — A
ﬁnal day in the sun as a
Lady Knight.
Recent Point Pleasant
graduate Kelsie Byus had
one ﬁnal opportunity to
take to the diamond in
the Red and Black while
helping the South AllStars claim a three-game
sweep over the North AllStars on Thursday at the
Buffalo High School Softball Complex in Putnam
County.
The day began at 10:30
with seven skills competitions, followed by two
seven-inning games and
one ﬁve-inning game. Following the ﬁnale, Byus
spoke about the experience.
“I feel honored,” Byus
said. “It was one last time
represent Point Pleasant
and I just wanted to do
that the best that I could.”
This season, Byus
helped guide the Lady
Knights to a 19-8 record
and was a special honorable mention team AllState Class AA selection.
Byus — who played in
all three games of all-star
festivities — competed in
the home run derby and
earned a second place
ﬁnish in the bunting competition with a score of
29 points.
Hurricane’s Jayme Bailey won the bunting competition with 31, while
Hoover’s Kirsten Belcher
won the home run derby
who hit six.
Ripley’s Paige Swisher
won the 20-yard dash
with an average time of
2.91 seconds and a top
time of 2.89 seconds, and
also won the 40-yard dash
with an average time of
5.91 seconds and a toptime of 5.82 seconds.

Shady Spring captured
ﬁrst in the fastest overhand throw event with an
average speed of 67 mph
and top-speed of 70 mph.
Grace Hefner of Braxton placed ﬁrst overall
in the accuracy throw
to conclude the winners
of the skills competition
events.
In the opening game,
the South All-Stars broke
a scoreless tie with one
run in the top of the second inning, and added an
additional run in the top
of the third. The South
extended its advantage to
4-0 in the fourth, manufacturing two runs on two
hits, one walk and a sacriﬁce bunt.
The South tacked on an
additional run in the ﬁfth,
as a one-out RBI single
by Byus increased the
lead to 5-0. Both teams
scored one run in the
sixth inning, as the South
closed out a 6-1 win.
The ﬁrst game’s Most
Valuable Players were
Kacee Roberts (Parkersburg) for the North and
Bailey —who was 3-for-4

with two doubles and
a home run — for the
South.
In the second game, the
South took a 1-0 lead in
the top of the ﬁrst inning,
and added four additional
runs in the third to take
an early 5-0 advantage.
The North cut the deﬁcit to 5-1 in the bottom of
the fourth, as Oliva Mace
(Roane County) led off
the inning with a walk
and later scored on a oneout single by Gasvoda.
The South extended its
lead to 10-1 in the top of
the ﬁfth, manufacturing
ﬁve runs on four hits, one
hit by pitch and a North
ﬁelding miscue. The
North were held scoreless
in the bottom of the ﬁfth,
as the South closed out
the nine-run victory in
mercy-rule fashion.
The Most Valuable
Players in the second contest were Buffalo’s Kaitlynn Rasnake from the
South and Gasvoda for
the North. Rasnake had
two safeties and three
RBI, while Gasvoda had a
hit and drove in one run
in the setback.
In the third game, the

North took a 2-0 lead in
the top of the third inning
as Roberts lifted a tworun home run over the
fence. The South rallied
in the the bottom of the
third, manufacturing four
runs on three hits, one
walk and an error to take
a 4-2 lead.
In the bottom of the
fourth, Bailey provided
her second home run of
the day, driving in two
runs, while Jordan Bell

advantage to 7-2 entering
the ﬁnale.
The North were held

ﬁfth and ﬁnal inning, as
the South closed out the
ﬁve-run victory.

for the North in the ﬁnal
game. while Champmanville’s Kenzi McCann was

meetings and hold a
41-22-1 record in the
series, which dates back

THE NEXT ANTETOKOUNMPO:

Kostas awaits his draft-night call
By Tim Reynolds
Associated Press

His numbers are ordinary. His name is not.
And his potential,
that’s still to be proven.
A player who averaged 5.2 points and 2.9
rebounds per game in his
lone season of college
basketball, primarily as
a backup for a team that
didn’t ﬁnish with a winning record, wouldn’t
ordinarily seem like
much of an NBA draft
prospect. But in this
case, the player in question is Kostas Antetokounmpo — who believes
that he is ready to follow his All-Star brother
Giannis into the league.
On Thursday night,
he’ll ﬁnd out which NBA
club agrees.
“I feel like when you
do a sport, when you do
something, you want to
be the best at it,” Kostas
Antetokounmpo said.
“Since I was little I wanted to be an NBA player.
So it’s about time.”
Maybe so, but unlike
his brother — the Milwaukee star who might
be an MVP candidate for
years to come — Kostas
Antetokounmpo’s game
is nowhere near the elite
level.
“He can be really
good,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said. “He has
a lot of things to work
on. But I think he can
be really good if he gets
with the right team and
tries to get better every
day.”
The 20-year-old Kos-

Michael Dwyer | AP file

Dayton’s Kostas Antetokounmpo (13) goes up to shoot against
Rhode Island’s Cyril Langevine (10) during their game in February.
Antetokounmpo thinks he’s ready to follow big brother Giannis
into the NBA, and given the bloodlines it’s reasonable to assume
he’s got some potential.

tas Antetokounmpo
struggled to remain a
big part of the rotation
at Dayton in his one college season, starting six
games early in the year
but also playing less than
10 minutes in six others.
He had a big game off the
bench late in the season
to help the Flyers beat
Saint Louis, and after
that game Dayton coach
Anthony Grant pointed
to that as the sign of
what Antetokounmpo
can do.
“That’s what he’s
capable of,” Grant said,
“when he puts his mind
to it.”
The good news for
Kostas Antetokounmpo
is this: He knows he’s
nowhere near a ﬁnished
product.
He’s 6-foot-10 with
long arms, his standing
reach extending just 10
inches shy of the rim.
But he’s only 195 pounds,
needs to work on his
strength and missed
basically half of his free-

throw tries last season.
“I know that I’ve got
to let my body get stronger,” he said. “I’ve got to
get my weight up. I’ve
got to work on the way
I read the game, and my
moves.”
If he makes the NBA,
Kostas would be the third
Antetokounmpo brother
to reach the league.
Besides Giannis, there
was Thanasis — who
appeared in two games
for the New York Knicks
in 2016. And there’s a
fourth one on the way,
that being 16-year-old
Alex, someone who
Giannis and Kostas both
predict might be the best
in the family.
So soon, Alex will
likely deal with what Kostas is dealing with now
— inevitable comparisons to the more-famous
brother.
Kostas and Giannis
are built similarly, with
their long, lean frames
and almost neverending reach. They sound

alike in some ways, but
both insist that they do
not play the game the
same way. It used to be
difﬁcult for Kostas to
carry the label of ‘the
next Antetokounmpo,’ he
said, though over time he
thinks he’s been judged
more on the merits of his
own game.
“Every good player
coming up, they’re compared to somebody,”
Kostas Antetokounmpo
said. “So I’m used to
that. It makes me work
harder. If they compare
me to a top-10 player in
the NBA, I don’t have a
problem with that.”
Kostas Antetokounmpo
said he expects to immediately contribute at
the NBA level, based on
the way he can run the
ﬂoor and his penchant
for being able to defend
— especially around the
rim. He said he tries to
emulate not his brother
so much, but more along
the lines of Kevin Garnett largely because of
the way he defended.
He has no idea yet
where he’s going to get
picked, and some mock
drafts have him sliding to
the second round.
He insists that won’t
matter.
“I feel like I can be an
NBA player,” he said.
“I think a lot of teams
see me and they see a
kid that works hard, a
kid that can become a
NBA player. First round,
second round, it doesn’t
matter to me. I’m going
to do what I can do and
try to get better.”

Steelers WR
Smith-Schuster
eyes bigger role
PITTSBURGH
(AP) — JuJu SmithSchuster is an open
book. Unless you ask
the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
about the left knee
issue that’s forced him
to spend most of the
offseason watching
workouts instead of
participating in them.
“You can talk to
Mike Tomlin about
that,” Smith-Schuster
said Wednesday.
Smith-Schuster
described the injury as
something that built
up over time and came
to a point where he
realized he couldn’t
simply hope it disappeared on his own, so
he got it checked out.
He offered no details
but stressed he will be
fully recovered when
the team reports to
training camp at Saint
Vincent College on
July 25.
“For sure,” he said.
“Especially when you
get this ﬁve-week
break. I think I’ll be
ready.”
The AFC North
champions need him
to be. Smith-Schuster
heads into his second season ﬁrmly
entrenched as the No.
2 receiver behind AllPro Antonio Brown
after the Steelers dealt
talented but mercurial Martavis Bryant
to Oakland during the
NFL draft. Bryant did
little to hide his frustration when SmithSchuster bypassed him
on the depth chart.
It’s a relationship
that plays in stark
contrast — at least
in mid-June — to the
way Smith-Schuster
has welcomed secondround pick James
Washington into the
fold.
“We kind of have
the same body type,
he’s playing inside and
out (like me),” SmithSchuster said. “Super
excited to see what he
can do.”
It’s a label SmithSchuster might as well
place on himself after
becoming a revelation
in more ways than one
in 2017. He caught 58
passes for 917 yards
and seven touchdowns,
earned respect in the
locker room for his
fearless blocking and a
social media sensation
for his intricate and
highly shareable touchdown celebrations.
Hide and Seek anyone?
Yet it’s the memory
of the ﬁnal touchdown
he scored last season
that will stick with
him.
He hauled in a
4-yard toss from Ben
Roethlisberger with
1 second left in a
45-42 playoff loss to
Jacksonville. All it did
was pretty up the ﬁnal
score. By then, the
game had already been
decided and a season
ﬁlled with typically
high aspirations was
over.
“I was ‘Whatever’
about it,” SmithSchuster said. “Like
I wanted to celebrate
but what is there to
celebrate. We took the
‘L.’”
Smith-Schuster
returned to his native
Southern California
for a few weeks in the
offseason, where the
21-year-old discovered
his proﬁle had risen
considerably since
the time he left. Part
of that is by design.

“I mean, I want it. I
love it. This is why
I’m here. This is why
I love the game so
whatever they put
on my shoulders,
I’m going to carry
and do what I can
do for this year.”
— JuJu Smith-Schuster

Smith-Schuster’s social
media feeds are a
glimpse into a young
athlete attempting to
live their best life at all
times.
He’s playing Fortnite. He’s at Coachella
. He’s hanging with his
French bulldog Boujee
. He’s chilling with his
family. He spent time
at EA Sports last weekend getting a glimpse
at the latest edition of
the “Madden” football
franchise, a version
that includes plenty of
digital post-touchdown
antics by the guy in
black-and-gold wearing
No. 19. Smith-Schuster
ﬁgures it’s a sign of
things to come.
“Got to be No. 1
in celebrations,” he
said. “But that’s going
to come after we
take care of business
though.”
Therein lies the challenge for Smith-Schuster. He is no longer
an unknown quantity.
And he’s passed the
title as “NFL’s Youngest Player” to Buffalo
Bills rookie linebacker
Tremaine Edmunds.
More will be expected
of him on the ﬁeld, and
he’s well aware there
are greater demands of
his time off it. Finding
balance will be a vital
part of his progress.
Brown appeared
to reach a breaking
point of sorts on Tuesday when he vaguely
talked about outside
“pressure” during a
rambling meeting with
reporters. There’s
none of that on SmithSchuster, at least not
yet. It may come at
some point.
Darrius HeywardBey, the elder statesman in Pittsburgh’s
wide receiver room,
isn’t concerned about
Smith-Schuster’s maturation process — provided he attacks things
with the right perspective.
“(I) just let him
know that A: you
wouldn’t have all that
stuff if it wasn’t for
football,’” HeywardBey said. “Yes, you’ve
got to have the personality but if you’re
not the guy scoring
touchdowns, making
big plays, nobody cares
about you so to speak.
So if he keeps football
ﬁrst and understands
you’ve got to work
harder and always
improve on your game
each and every year, I
think he’ll be ﬁne.”
Smith-Schuster
won’t lack for opportunities considering the
extra attention Brown
and All-Pro running
back Le’Veon Bell are
sure to attract every
week.
The way he ﬁgures
it, that’s why he’s playing in the ﬁrst place.
“I mean, I want it,”
Smith-Schuster said.
“I love it. This is why
I’m here. This is why I
love the game so whatever they put on my
shoulders, I’m going
to carry and do what I
can do for this year.”

Kawhi Leonard wants a trade from Spurs
By Tim Reynolds
Associated Press

Kawhi Leonard’s time
with the San Antonio
Spurs may soon be over.
A person familiar with
the situation says Leonard has told the Spurs
that he would like to be
traded this summer, the
clearest sign yet that the
relationship between the
team and the All-Star is
in disrepair.

The person said Leonard has decided that he is
“unhappy with the situation” in San Antonio. The
person spoke with The
Associated Press on Friday on condition of anonymity because neither
the player nor the team
commented publicly.
Yahoo Sports and the
San Antonio ExpressNews ﬁrst reported Leonard’s hope for a trade.
Leonard played in only

nine game with the Spurs
this past season because
of a leg injury — ofﬁcially
described as right quadriceps tendinopathy, and
the Spurs listed him as
out on their injury reports
for much of the year citing “injury management.”
In the 2016-17 season,
he averaged a career-best
25.5 points and was third
in the MVP voting.
Leonard is due just
over $20 million next

season, and can become a
free agent in the summer
of 2019. It’s unclear if the
Spurs will go ahead and
try to trade him, or if the
team will try to patch
things up with the 2014
NBA Finals MVP and
two-time NBA defensive
player of the year.
There were signs of
strain in the relationship
this past season while
Leonard was sidelined.
The Spurs were

reduced to giving only
cryptic answers about
Leonard’s status. While
San Antonio was in
the playoffs, losing in
the ﬁrst round to eventual repeat champion
Golden State, Leonard
was rehabbing in New
York — which meant
that Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich, when asked for
the situation, deferred all
comment to “Kawhi and
his group.”

Teammates also were
tight-lipped about Leonard’s situation, even by
Spurs standards. “He
has to do what’s best
for him,” Spurs forward
LaMarcus Aldridge told
USA Today Sports back
in April.
All of Leonard’s nine
appearances with the
Spurs this season were
prior to the All-Star
break, none of them coming after Jan. 13.

World Series shows softball
Courtney Force enjoying best
growth for non-US programs stretch of Funny Car career
OKLAHOMA CITY
(AP) — USA Softball
executive director
Craig Cress hopes
the Women’s College
World Series offered a
glimpse of the sport’s
future.
In Game 1 of the
championship series
last week, Florida
State pitcher Meghan
King faced Washington’s Gabbie Plain.
In Game 2, King’s
opponent was Washington’s Taran Alvelo.
King earned wins in
both games and led
Florida State to its
ﬁrst national title .
The impact went
well beyond the USA
Softball Hall of Fame
Complex. King and
Alvelo are Americans
with Puerto Rican
ties who will try to
help the U.S. territory
qualify for the 2020
Olympics in Tokyo.
Plain is a freshman
from Australia who is
a part of her country’s
national program.
Two other World
Series pitchers —
Florida’s Aleshia Ocasio and Arizona State’s
Giselle “G” Juarez —
are on Puerto Rico’s
squad. Other World
Series participants
who play for Puerto
Rico are Florida
State’s Carsyn Gordon
and Korina Rosario
and Florida’s Jamie
Hoover.
Washington’s Morganne Flores is a Puerto Rico team member
who was injured and
didn’t play for the
Huskies this season.
Canada and Mexico
also had national team
representation in
Oklahoma City.
Softball was in the
Olympics from 1996
to 2008, but left out
in 2012 and 2016
before returning for
the Tokyo Games.
The United States and
Japan are the only
nations to win gold,
with the United States
winning three times
and Japan winning
once.
Cress said the
World Series success for players with
national teams outside
the mainland U.S. is
the kind of progress
needed to help softball
remain in the Olympics long term and
become a truly global
sport.
“I think the main
reason that got voted
out was that it’s
looked at as an American sport,” Cress
said. “And the IOC
(International Olympic Committee) is
not made up of (just)
Americans, obviously.”
The United States
will head to Japan for
a series June 20-23,
and the Paris 2024
Olympics delegation
will be represented.
Cress said his group
will join Japan in trying to convince the

Paris ofﬁcials that
softball and baseball
should be on the program.
The United States
set a goal of globalizing the sport in the
early 2000s, and the
focus has ramped up
with the Olympics
approaching.
U.S. coach Ken Eriksen said other nations
have been improving
for many years.
“It’s important for
the critics to realize
that the USA program is really, really
good,” Eriksen said.
“It just so happens
that everybody else is
really, really good. The
world is getting better.
There’s hope among
these other countries
that they can now participate on the same
playing level as the
United States, Japan,
Canada, Australia, so
they are putting more
money and resources
into these programs.”
Other nations have
scoured the United
States for players with
heritage from their
countries, with plenty
of help from American
coaches and ofﬁcials.

(formerly van der
Linden), a pitching
coach for Puerto Rico,
on King’s behalf. Now,
King is a key member of Puerto Rico’s
squad.
“She loved it, stayed
with it, and it has
helped her so much,”
Alameda said. “International softball is just
a whole ‘nother level.
She’s just really comfortable.”
Tommy Velazquez,
president of the Puerto Rico Softball Federation, paid attention
as King dominated
the World Series with
four wins, a save and
a record for lowest
earned run average.
“She is an amazing
pitcher,” Velazquez
said. “I think we both
are growing in the process. She is learning
about international
competition and international teams, the big
scenario. Our team
received an outstanding pitcher and our
performance increased
automatically.”
King will help as
Puerto Rico prepares
for the World Championships in August in
Chiba, Japan. Mexico,
Canada and Australia are among the 16
nations that will compete in the Olympic
qualifying tournament.
Washington coach
Heather Tarr won the
2009 national title
with current Canadian
national team pitcher
Danielle Lawrie.
This time, she got
to the championship
series with Plain, who

is from Sydney, Australia.
“We live on the
Paciﬁc Rim, so we
would be foolish not to
explore opportunities,
whether they are in
Australia or Canada,”
said Tarr, an assistant
coach for the U.S.
“Maybe we can’t get
the kids from Georgia
or Florida to come up
to Seattle, so regionally, it does make sense
for us to connect with
our Paciﬁc Rim associates.”
Alameda said Florida State’s Savanna
Copeland, who is from
Fishers, Indiana, will
play for Canada this
summer. She’ll join a
roster that is mostly
Canadian born but has
several players who
competed for major
U.S. colleges.
Mexico’s program
has U.S. players with
Mexican heritage —
Oklahoma’s Eliyah
Flores is part of its
program. Team USA’s
most recent loss was
to Mexico and former
Arizona State pitcher
Dallas Escobedo in the
Pan-American Championship last year. The
United States went
through the losers’
bracket to win the
tournament, but Mexico left an impression.
“They’ve done a
nice job going out and
recruiting former collegiate players here,”
Cress said.
Velazquez said Puerto Rico’s team will
likely be 90 percent
Americans, and the
Philippines also has
several U.S. players.
But Tarr said stopping at nations relying
heavily on U.S. players
with foreign heritage
isn’t enough.
“I personally, being
involved with international softball,
too, care a lot about
the organic growth
of the sport in these
countries,” she said.
“It’s ﬁne for people
to go in there and
help them build their
nation’s teams, but it’s
more important that
they are truly there,
because otherwise,
softball might not
continue to be in the
Olympics.”
Eriksen said the
organic process has
started. He saw evidence when nations
such as Uganda, Kenya
and India sent teams
to the world championships in 2016.
“They are starting
to cultivate the bottom
of their programs,” he
said.
“Now that there are
more players in their
countries, the game is
getting better in their
countries and they
won’t have to go to the
United States, they’ll
have them in their
own countries. That’s
the ultimate goal.”

Courtney Force has had
a whirlwind few weeks,
spending time in Nashville as a presenter at
the CMT Music Awards,
watching her husband
Graham Rahal ﬁnish 10th
at the Indianapolis 500
and squeezing in sponsor
events in places like Chicago and Florida.
And that’s on top of
putting together the most
dominant stretch of her
racing career.
The 29-year-old Force
has won three of the past
four races in the NHRA’s
Funny Car division, building a sizable lead in the
standings over secondplace Jack Beckman and
third-place Robert Hight,
who is Force’s teammate
and last year’s champion.
She will go for her ﬁfth
win of the season this
weekend in Bristol, Tennessee, at the Thunder
Valley Nationals, and got
off to a fast Friday by
topping the ﬁrst day of
qualifying..
“It’s my team, it’s the
guys who are working
on my race car,” Force
said. “They’ve all gelled
together really well and
they have their routine.
They’re putting together
that car exactly the same
every weekend and you
need consistency on our
race car on all ends.”
Her quest to become
the ﬁrst woman to win
the division title is even
more impressive because
of her prodigious off-thetrack schedule. Force and

Graham Rahal (15) celebrates with his then-fiancee, NHRA Funny
Car driver Courtney Force, after winning the 2015 IndyCar race at
Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Force has had a whirlwind
few weeks, spending time in Nashville as a presenter at the CMT
Music Awards, watching Graham Rahal, now her husband, finish in
the top 10 at the Indianapolis 500 and squeezing in sponsor events
in places like Chicago and Florida.

Rahal, who is sixth in
the IndyCar standings,
almost always spend any
breaks in their respective
schedules at each other’s
races. Force was there for
the Indy 500 at the end of
May. Rahal will be in Tennessee this weekend.
“We’re kind of used to
it,” Force said. “We see
each other way more than
people imagine. We make
it work because we’re
travelling constantly for
racing, but also to see
each other. Even if it’s
just a day to stop over in
Indiana, it’s great to see
him.”
The couple knew what

they were getting into
nearly three years ago
when they got married
because both grew up in
racing. Courtney’s dad is
16-time Funny Car champion John Force while
Rahal’s dad is Bobby
Rahal, who won the 1986
Indianapolis 500.
Rahal said he spends
about 270 days a year on
the road.
“It’s a full-time job,”
Rahal said. “We travel an
insane amount. We spend
our lives completely on
the road. But we’ve come
to get used to that, we’ve
come to expect that that’s
what it is for us.”

Woods on expectations for
another major win: ‘Absolutely’
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.
(AP) — Hoist the anchor,
and set sail the great ship
Privacy on a course for
Carnoustie Bay, Pebble
Beach or some other
future site of a golf major.
Tiger Woods isn’t going
to win the U.S. Open this
year.
He still thinks he can
win another major before
he’s done.
“Absolutely,” Woods
said after shooting a
2-over 72 at Shinnecock
Hills on Friday for a
36-hole total of 10 over
that saw him miss the
cut.
“They’re not easy,” he
said. “I mean, I’ve won
a few of them over the
course of my career, and
they’re the hardest ﬁelds
and usually the hardest
setups. So they’re meant
to be testers, and you
don’t win major championships by kind of slapping all around the place
and missing putts.
“You have to be on,” he
said. “You just can’t fake
it at a major championship.”
Woods couldn’t even
fake it for the ﬁrst 34
holes in Southampton,
and despite birdies on the
last two holes, he needed

a lot of help to avoid the
cut for the ﬁfth time in
his last eight majors. That
means he won’t need to
bunk for the weekend
at the Sag Harbor Yacht
Club on the 155-foot boat
he jokingly calls “the dinghy.”
Woods also missed
the cut when he brought
Privacy to the 2006 U.S.
Open at Winged Foot in
New York City’s northern suburbs. He has not
played the weekend at a
U.S. Open since 2013, or
won one since 2008 —
his last major victory.
He remains stuck at 14
in his career, four short of
Jack Nicklaus’ record.
“Our whole careers are
pretty much measured as
if you can win four times
a year,” Woods said.
Woods’ chances were
effectively eliminated
after two holes.
He shot a triple bogey
on Thursday on No. 1
— a 399-yard par 4 that
is the fourth-easiest hole
on the course — needing three tries to manage a short rise to the
elevated green and then
two-putting. He entered
the second round nine
strokes behind the leaders
and thought if he could

shoot in the 60s on Friday
he would have a chance to
get back into it.
Now he won’t even
have a chance to play.
“I couldn’t chase down
the leaders right away. It’s
going to take me probably
2½ to 3 rounds to do it,”
he said. “Unfortunately, I
went the other way.”
Starting the second
round on No. 10, Woods
made the turn at even par
and came back around
to No. 1. His drive was
ﬁne, but he yanked his
approach shot to the right
of the green into deep
rough, and then rolled his
third shot over it. After
pitching to about 14 feet,
he missed a bogey putt.
He then bogeyed No.
2 for the second straight
day.
“I didn’t play the ﬁrst
and second hole very
well,” said Woods, who
started on No. 10 for
the second round. “I was
kind of hanging in there
until, unfortunately, ﬁrst
and second hole kind of
derailed it.”
Woods said he would
take the week off before
playing the National and
then heading to Carnoustie, Scotland, for the
British Open.

AP SPORTS BRIEFS

After tryout, Cardinals sign
WR Little to 1-year contract
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have
signed wide receiver Greg Little to a one-year contract after he participated in this week’s minicamp on
a tryout basis.
Little hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2014.
He was a second-round draft pick of the Cleveland
Browns out of North Carolina in 2011. In 54 career
NFL games, 42 as a starter, he has caught 161 passes
for 1,890 yards and eight touchdowns for the Browns
(2011-13) and Cincinnati (2014). He was released by
Buffalo at the end of the 2016 preseason.
Arizona also released linebacker Frank Ginda and
wide receiver Cobi Hamilton. ever warned he might
suffer long-term brain damage.

Cowboys’ Irving banned 4
games for 2nd straight year
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys defensive
lineman David Irving was suspended for four games
Friday for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy,
the second straight year the pass rusher is facing a
ban to start the season.
The punishment announced by the league will not
keep Irving from participating in training camp starting next month in California. The 24-year-old Irving’s
four-game suspension to start last season was for violating league policy on performance enhancers.
Irving was away from the Cowboys most of the
offseason tending to personal issues before showing
up for the mandatory three-day minicamp that ended
Thursday. He declined to go into details but did mention that he was solely responsible for the care of his
5-year-old daughter.
His former girlfriend, the daughter’s mother,
accused Irving of domestic abuse before recanting in
April. Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco didn’t ﬁle
charges, but the NFL is investigating.
After last season’s suspension, Irving had seven
sacks in eight games before sustaining a concussion
that kept him out the remaining four games. He has
11½ sacks in 35 games over three seasons for Dallas.
The ﬁrst game he is eligible is Oct. 7 at Houston.
Irving signed a second-round tender worth $2.9
million as a restricted free agent and is set to be an
unrestricted free agent after the season. The Cowboys
signed him off Kansas City’s practice squad in 2015.

NCAA settles CTE lawsuit
filed by widow of Texas player
DALLAS (AP) — The NCAA settled a lawsuit Friday with the family of a former University of Texas
football player that accused the organization of being
responsible for his brain injuries and death decades
after his playing career.
The lawsuit in Dallas was settled after three days of
trial. A court administrator conﬁrmed the settlement
but said no terms were released.

The widow of former Longhorns defensive lineman
Greg Ploetz sought to hold the NCAA responsible for
his health problems long after his playing career. He
played at Texas from 1968 to 1971. The Longhorns
won the national title in 1969 and Ploetz was the
Southwest Conference defensive player of the year in
1971. He did not play professionally but graduated in
1972, earned a master’s degree and became a teacher.
Ploetz died in 2015 and Boston University researchers concluded he had extensive brain damage known
as chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
The lawsuit was seen as a potential landmark case
if the jury ruled against the NCAA. The NCAA previously agreed to give $70 million for a brain trauma
trust fund to settle other lawsuits.
Family lawyers did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
According the lawsuit, Ploetz suffered from serious
health problems for most of his life, including memory
loss, difﬁculty communication and confusion. He
stopped teaching in 2009. After he died, his brain was
donated to Boston University’s brain injury research
team, which concluded his brain showed severe levels
of CTE.
Debra Hardin-Ploetz sued for negligence and
wrongful death, claiming that repetitive head trauma
during his college career contributed to his health
problems, and sought more than $1 million in damages. She said Ploetz accepted the risk of broken bones
while playing football, but was n

Cristiano Ronaldo strikes
deal on tax fraud case
MADRID (AP) — Spanish media reports that Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed to plead
guilty to tax fraud and pay a ﬁne of 18.8 million euros
($21.8 milllion) in exchange for a prison sentence that
would most likely be suspended.
Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported Friday that
Ronaldo is ready to admit to four counts of tax fraud
that would carry a prison sentence of two years.
Prison sentences not over two years in Spain are often
suspended for ﬁrst-time offenders.
The deal has yet to be ratiﬁed by Spain’s Tax Ofﬁce,
according to different Spanish media including Europa Press news agency.
Neither Spain’s Tax Ofﬁce, its Ministry of Justice
nor people close to Ronaldo would conﬁrm the existence of a deal when called by The Associated Press.
Reports of the deal came hours before Ronaldo
scored three goals to give Portugal a 3-3 draw with
Spain in their opening match of the World Cup in Russia. One year ago, a Spanish state prosecutor accused
Ronaldo of four counts of tax fraud from 2011-14
worth 14.7 million euros ($16.5 million). The prosecutor accused Ronaldo of having used shell companies
outside Spain to hide income made from image rights.
The accusation does not involve his salary from
Real Madrid. Ronaldo denied any wrongdoing when
questioned by a judge last July. In 2016, Barcelona
forward Lionel Messi received a suspended 21-month
jail sentence after being found guilty of defrauding tax
authorities of 4.1 million euros (then $4.6 million).

A’s prospect
Murray ready to lead
Oklahoma football first
Beane took charge: “It
was a deal breaker for
us if he didn’t go back
to the University of
Oklahoma in the fall.”
“We can’t wait ‘til
January to have him
here full-time,” said
Beane, the A’s executive vice president of
baseball operations.
Noted Boras, “The
idea of understanding
who an athlete is is
very important.”
Murray was an outﬁelder for the Sooners
this season and batted
.296 with 10 home
runs, 13 doubles and
three triples in 189 atbats.
The A’s can’t wait
to see how their prize
prospect does with a
full season of at-bats.
“He’s really fun to
watch on a football
ﬁeld, and he’s going to
be fun to watch on a
baseball ﬁeld,” Beane
said.
“It’s neat that he gets
to do both, and that
the country gets to see
both, but we’re going
to get the best years,
and he’s going to
have a great baseball
career.”
Murray’s uncle, Calvin, was a ﬁrst-round
pick by the San Francisco Giants in 1992
and played parts of ﬁve
major league seasons.
Murray had no
qualms letting everybody know people
compare him to Hall of
Famer Rickey Henderson. He studies Henderson’s ﬁlm and can’t
wait to make the connection and learn from
him, saying Henderson
is “a great legend.”

OAKLAND, Calif.
(AP) — Billy Beane
will watch Oklahoma
football this fall with
great interest in the
Sooners quarterback:
Kyler Murray will be a
member of the Oakland
Athletics as soon as his
college career is complete.
A’s manager Bob
Melvin, an admittedly
superstitious guy, might
close his eyes and cross
his ﬁngers the prized
prospect stays healthy
before switching sports.
First-round pick Murray signed Friday, met
his potential future
teammates and took
batting practice at the
Oakland Coliseum in
uniform — then it will
be back to preparing for
football.
“I can’t put it into
words. Just thankful,”
Murray said. “That’s a
huge deal, the organization letting me do that.”
He was greeted
by “WELCOME TO
OAKLAND” on the big
scoreboard with his
photo.
When Oakland
drafted Murray ninth
overall last week, there
was an agreement
between the A’s, Murray and his super agent,
Scott Boras, that Murray would play his ﬁnal
football season . Beane
joked with Boras about
Murray committing to
15 years with the A’s.
“Right now it’s getting ready to go win
a national championship,” Murray said.
When asked about
how negotiations
worked for Murray to
return to play football,
