The predecessor of the store started in 1840 with a little trading post for Cross’ employees. The business moved to Racine in 1860, moving into the building pictured in 1892. In 1968, William Cross, the great-great-grandson of Lucius Cross became the last son in direct succession to own the store. Before its closing, Cross’ Grocery was the oldest continuous family owned business in Meigs County and one of the oldest business establishments in the Northwest Territory. Cross’ Grocery closed its door in June 2000.

CPR members Selina Mitchell and Lisa Osborne previously visited a program called Hidden in Plain Sight and have been spearheading Gallia efforts to start a similar program in the area. Hidden in Plain Sight focus- es on teaching parents what to look for in their child’s bedroom if they suspect drug abuse. The pair have been working on collecting everyday items to create an exhibit of a youth’s bedroom. In that room will be placed objects such as lighters, faux soda cans with empty bottoms and other such items that could indicate drug transporting or substance abuse. The group also seeks to potentially survey or discuss with area youth behaviors they have witnessed that might indicate substance abuse or how to prevent it. See CPR | 2 WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that government workers can’t be forced to contribute to labor unions that represent them in collective bargaining, dealing a serious financial blow to Democratic-leaning organized labor. The court’s conservative majority, re-empowered by Justice Neil Gorsuch, scrapped a 41-yearold decision that had allowed states to require that public employees pay some fees to unions that represent them, even if the workers choose not to join. The 5-4 decision not only will free non-union members in nearly two dozen states from any financial ties to unions, but also could encourage members to stop paying dues for services the court said Wednesday they can get for free. Union leaders said in reaction to the ruling that they expect to suffer some loss of revenue and also predicted that the same anti-union forces that pushed to get rid of the so-called fair shares that nonmembers had to pay will try to persuade members to cut their ties. “There are already plans,” said Lily Eskelsen García, president of the See UNIONS | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, June 28, 2018 OBITUARIES MARY ANN FOWLER RACINE — Mary Ann Fowler, 69, of Racine, went to her Heavenly home on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at her residence.

Ongoing surveys and studies would need repeated over a course of time in order to get an idea of ongoing and future trends with a hyper local focus on youth substance use behavior. Doing a survey over the course of the upcoming Gallia Junior Fair was also suggested during the meeting as a beginning point for future presentations of a Hidden in Plain Sight program. At some point in the future, CPR intends to invite the public to observe the youth bedroom exhibit and a presentation of drug hiding techniques, new substance ingestion techniques and, ideally, to learn of the numbers of local youth taking part in such behavior.

Blue Distinction Centers are nationally recognized hospitals that show expertise in providing advanced patient safety and better health outcomes based on objective measures that were developed with input from the medical community. Nearly four million babies are born in the U.S. annually, making childbirth the most common cause of hospitalization and cesarean sections the most common operating room procedures according to National Centers for Health Statistics and the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ). Reducing early elective delivery is an area of focus for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Their research shows elective inductions result in more cesarean deliveries and a longer maternal hospitalization. Pleasant Valley Hospital’s Maternity Care program exceeds the criteria set for this quality measure in both vaginal and cesarean delivery. “PVH is honored to be recognized by Highmark BCBS West Virginia for meeting the rigorous Blue Distinction Center quality selection criteria for maternity care. Providing high quality patient care is top priority to all of us at PVH. Whether a mom is expecting her first baby or her fifth, our obstetric care experts work with growing families to understand pregnancy and support them with advanced care tailored to meet the needs of each mother and baby. We welcome families to a warm, supportive, family-centered environment staffed by obstetrics experts including physicians Fri Mofor-Eta, MD, FACOG, gynecology/obstetrics, and Karah Cloxton, MD, family medicine, obstetrics, and their highlytrained nursing, technical and support staffs. They are dedicated to patient safety and excellent health outcomes for both mother and baby,” stated Glen Washington, FACHE, CEO. “The Blue Distinction program gives Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield West Virginia members the ability to choose their Providers based upon reliable quality and Courtesy photos Fri Mofor-Eta, MD, gynecology/ obstetrics.

It also provides a pathway for exceptional Providers to demonstrate their value, and delivers the kind of transparency necessary for members to make informed valuedriven healthcare decisions. We congratulate our Blue Distinction Specialty Care Providers on their accomplishment and thank our members for choosing Highmark BCBS West Virginia”, said Dr. Charles DeShazer, Vice President and Executive Medical Director, Clinical Services, Medical Policy & Quality. Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) companies across the nation have recognized more than 1,000 hospitals as Blue Distinction Centers for Maternity Care. Hospitals recognized with this designation are assessed using a combination of quality information supplied by hospitals and cost measures derived from BCBS companies’ medical claims. Since 2006, the Blue Distinction Specialty Care program has helped patients find quality specialty care in the areas of bariatric surgery, cancer care, cardiac care, maternity care, knee and hip replacements, spine surgery and transplants, while encouraging health care professionals to improve the care they deliver. Research shows that, compared to other hospitals, those designated as Blue Distinction Centers demonstrate better quality and improved outcomes for patients.

I recently asked my students what they expect from their first job once they complete their degrees. Eighty percent of the students in the class are post-Millennials and in no way resemble what Greek philosopher Socrates (470-399 BC) indicated as he philosophized about the youth of his time, “The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, Vivian contempt for authority; they show Blevins disrespect for elders and chatter in Contributing place of exercise.” columnist The 2016 research from the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that post-Millennials have lower teen pregnancy, less substance abuse, and higher on-time graduation from high school than did the Millennials. And for those who have not been paying attention to demographics, only about 54 percent of this group is non-Hispanic white. Generation Z, the post-Millennials, have always lived in a world of connectivity: books and movies on demand, research done not in libraries but on the Internet from wherever they are, Skype that allows them, via their iPhones, to see and talk directly to friends and relatives all over the planet. Their use of electronic devices may be troublesome to some, and according to the July 2, 2018, edition of Time, the World Health Organization’s disease-classification manual has added “gaming disorder” to its new edition and “characterizes it as a pattern of prioritizing online games or video games to the point of ‘significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.’” This technology, however, has more benefits than problems — at least for most. I want to share with you what some of my post-Millennial students — whose career paths take them in directions from law enforcement to nursing to journalism — recently indicated they expect from their first jobs after college: * Megan Booker wants opportunities to learn, to grow with educational opportunities. She wants the more experienced nurses as well as doctors to be willing to teach her new things. * Kira Smith agrees with Megan but also wants that job to be a place where she can mentor, help others learn, and grow as well. She envisions it as a place that will be a stepping stone that will give her the tools to excel in her career. * Tim Hanna indicates that in his field of journalism, he wants to make connections with a wide variety of people so that he can put his name and his product in different markets and open more windows of opportunity. * Another student wants her mentors to teach her well so that her patients will see compassion, empathy, and patience in her. She wants to help save lives, take care of people. * With a major as a physical therapy assistant, another student, who prefers to remain anonymous, believes her initial job will be intimidating and will probably be with the elderly as her first choice. She expects to have close relationships with her patients as they work to become more mobile without pain. She expects that she will be heartbroken as they pass away. She is sure she will learn more in her first job than in any classroom, but the classroom will prepare her for entry into that first job. * As a law enforcement major, Ericka Powell wants to learn the basics and improve on those to get better and better as she recognizes certain situations and uses her critical thinking skills to deal with them. A part of this, she asserts, is learning about criminal behavior, the stories of criminals, and why they do what they do. Two of my students this summer are categorized by the Pew Foundation as General X. Their sense of their next jobs after graduation is both pragmatic and idealistic: * One of these from Generation X wants a job with health insurance and retirement benefits as well as a “grown up” paycheck.

In her Grammy-nominated hit, “One Of Us,” she envisions the author of all creation as “a slob like one of us, just a stranger on a bus trying to make his way home.” The idea of eternity contained in mortality was controversial. But it turns out that envisioning God as “one of us” is not at all uncommon. Indeed, our conceptions of God tend to be colored, perhaps inevitably, by our social affiliations. So says a new study in which University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers tested 511 American Christians to see how they envision God. The one thing respondents agreed on was that God does not resemble Michelangelo’s stern old white man with a flowing beard. Other than that, there was no consensus. African Americans saw a God with African-American features. Young people saw a younger God. Liberals saw a loving God with younger, more feminine features.

But members of that ostentatiously Christian party should ask themselves: Would God really snatch a suckling baby from its mother’s breast? And if the answer is No, does it not suggest that they have made a deity of their fears and animosities, reposed their faith in their own righteous anger? And heaven help the baby crying for her mother. Heaven help the political prisoner, the rape survivor, the exile, the broken and the abused, the “least of these” who come to this nation of noisy faith, seeking sanctuary. And heaven help us, too.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 28, 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved commemorations for Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day and Veterans Day to Monday, creating three-day holiday weekends beginning in 1971. On this date: In 1778, the Revolutionary War Battle of Monmouth took place in New Jersey; from this battle arose the legend of “Molly Pitcher,” a woman who was said to have carried water to colonial soldiers, then taken over firing her husband’s cannon after he was disabled. In 1836, the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, died in Montpelier, Virginia. In 1838, Britain’s Queen Victoria was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were shot to death in Sarajevo by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip — an act which sparked World War I. In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in France, ending the First World War. In Independence, Missouri, future president Harry S. Truman married Elizabeth Virginia Wallace. In 1928, New York Gov. Alfred E. Smith was nominated for president at the Democratic national convention in Houston. In 1939, Pan American Airways began regular trans-Atlantic air service with a flight that departed New York for Marseilles, France. In 1944, the Republi- THOUGHT FOR TODAY “One of the sources of pride in being a human being is the ability to bear present frustrations in the interests of longer purposes.” — Helen Merrell Lynd, American sociologist and educator (1896-1982). can national convention in Chicago nominated New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president and Ohio Gov. John W. Bricker for vice president. In 1951, a TV version of the radio comedy program “Amos ‘N’ Andy” premiered on CBS. (It was the first network TV series to feature an all-black cast, but came under criticism for racial stereotyping.) In 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the University of California-Davis Medical School to admit Allan Bakke, a white man who argued he’d been a victim of reverse racial discrimination. In 1989, about 1 million Serbs gathered to mark the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. In 1997, in a wild rematch, Evander Holyfield retained the WBA heavyweight boxing championship after his opponent, Mike Tyson, was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear during the third round of their fight in Las Vegas.

When Indians outfielder Rajai Davis connected off Chicago Cubs reliever Aroldis Chapman for a tying home run in the eighth inning of Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, James came unglued and reacted the way he might after a monstrous dunk or back-breaking 3-pointer in the NBA Finals. And while his fanatical response said a lot about James and his allegiance to the Indians, so did the tight, black T-shirt he wore on that unseasonably warm November night. It said: “Cleveland Or Nowhere.” As the sports world waits to see where the three-time champion intends to play next season and beyond, there remains the real possibility that James could choose to stay in Cleveland, his hoops home for 11 of the past 15 years and where this Northeast Ohio son shares a unique and profound connection with fans who have followed him since his teens. James has other options: Los Angeles (salarycap space for another star, Magic Johnson in charge), Houston (a chance to play on a super team with MVP James Harden), Philadelphia (young stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid), and maybe more. But, as has always been the case for James, home will pull at his heart. For the longest time, the perception was that once James ended Cleveland’s 52-year title drought in 2016, he would leave again as soon as he could. That doesn’t seem to be a slam dunk any longer. By Friday, James is expected to make his first move and likely decline a $35.6 million contract option for next season with the Cavs, who are hoping their past loyalties to the 33-year-old and his own sentimental attachments — family, legacy — will keep him in Cleveland. Unlike his free-agency forays in 2010 and 2014, James will not meet with prospective teams. He’s letting agent Rich Paul and his other representatives handle the business side of things as he vacations with family and makes up his mind. See LOYALTY | 7 Defending champion Germany eliminated from World Cup KAZAN, Russia (AP) — Everyone was waiting for Germany to score another late World Cupsaving goal. It never came. Instead, the Germans have become the fourth defending champions in the last five tournaments to be eliminated in the group stage following a 2-0 loss to South Korea on Wednesday. The four-time champions allowed a pair of injury-time goals while knowing a 1-0 victory would have been enough to advance because of the result in the other group match. “It’s very, very hard to put it into words,” Germany defender Mats Hummels said. “We believed until the end today. Even when it was 0-1, I think we kept trying to turn it all around.” Germany ended up last in Group F while Sweden and Mexico advanced to the round of 16. South Korea was also eliminated despite the victory. It was the first time Germany has been knocked out in the first round since 1938. “I couldn’t imagine that we would lose,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said. Even in Yekaterinburg, nearly 500 miles away, the Mexican fans expected Germany to score. They were still in position to advance despite trailing Sweden, but they were waiting — some with tears in their eyes — for Germany to do the inevitable and ruin their chances of moving on. That’s when South Korea stepped up. Kim Young-gwon scored the first goal in the third minute of injury time, a goal that sent the Koreans cheering in Kazan and the Mexicans delirious in Yekaterinburg. Originally called out for offside, the goal was given after video review. Son Heung-min made it 2-0 in the sixth minute of stoppage time after Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer came up the field to help his teammates outside the South Korea box. Son tapped the ball into an empty net after a long pass from Ju Se-jong. Besides Germany this year, France in 2002, Italy in 2010 and Spain in 2014 were the previous defending champions to get eliminated in the group stage. “We deserved to be eliminated,” Loew said. “For us, this is a huge disappointment. But we have young players who are talented and have the potential to go forward. It happened to other nations before. We need to draw the right conclusions.” See WORLD CUP | 7 Marauders make team Meigs lands two Academic All-Ohioans By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com Shining in the classroom and on the diamond.

Argentina won 2-1. Argentina advances at World Cup ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — From his thigh to his foot to the back of the net, Lionel Messi finally scored a goal at this year’s World Cup. The exquisite strike from the Argentina great sparked the first of several celebrations from an animated Diego Maradona, who screamed, shouted and made obscene gestures — and raised concerns for his health. Argentina staved off elimination with a 2-1 victory over Nigeria on Tuesday, getting a late goal from Marcos Rojo. Maradona showed both middle fingers to the crowd after the 86thminute winner. A short time later, videos posted on social media showed Maradona needing help out of the stands and into an adjoining luxury box at the stadium. He appeared to have his eyes closed and a later photo showed a pair of paramedics attending to him. There was no immediate information on his health, but about two hours later he was photographed smiling at an airport. Another photo posted on Twitter appeared to show him sitting on a plane. Messi’s goal — his 65th for Argentina — was surely enough to impress even Maradona. From a long pass over the defense by Ever Banega, Messi caressed the ball with his left thigh, took another touch with his left foot, and then delivered a smooth right-footed finish into the corner. Messi fell to his knees and pointed his fingers upward in celebration. At the same time, Maradona crossed his arms with his hands on his shoulders and looked to the sky. “I knew that God is with us,” Messi said, “and he wouldn’t let us get eliminated.” Messi, who later hit the post off a free kick, and Banega controlled the game in the first half. Rojo finished it off in the second by cushioning a volley with his right foot into the bottom corner and ensuring Messi’s quest for a first World Cup title continued. Argentina will play France in the last 16 in Kazan on Saturday. If Argentines win and Portugal beats Uruguay on Saturday, Messi would face Cristiano Ronaldo in the quarterfinals. Without that late goal from Rojo, the 31-yearold Messi might have retired from international soccer for a second time — and for good this time. Instead, it was Messi who was at the center of the celebrations. His teammates formed a circle around him while striker Gonzalo Higuain Argentina staved off elimination with a 2-1 victory over Nigeria on Tuesday, getting a late goal from Marcos Rojo. Maradona showed both middle fingers to the crowd after the 86th-minute winner. cried nearby. Messi then clenched his fist as he turned toward the Argentina fans. “He’s above everybody else,” Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli said. “The most important thing for Leo is his human side. He cries. He suffers. He’s happy when Argentina wins. I know him. “Many people say Leo does not enjoy playing for Argentina, but I do not agree. He enjoys and suffers like all the other players and that makes him even bigger.” Before Rojo’s goal, Nigeria had been only a few minutes from qualifying for the last 16 for the fourth time. Javier Mascherano gave away a penalty with a pull on Leon Balogun at a 49thminute corner. Victor Moses converted — and marked the goal with a somersault — to put Nigeria back in control of the race for second place in the group. Argentina was facing finishing a World Cup without a win for the first time since 1934, but instead the team is headed to the knockout stage. “This is Messi,” Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr said with a shrug. Group dynamics Minutes away from advancing to the knockout stage, Nigeria ended up third in the group — ahead of Iceland but a point behind Argentina. Argentina has four days to prepare for its last 16 match against France. It is the first game of the knockout stage. Key to success Messi delivered his best performance of the tournament, with his goal allowing Argentina to take early control of the game. Yet the standout player might have been Banega, who was recalled to midfield after being on the bench for the first two games and impressed with his work rate and range of passing. Serious stats Messi joined Maradona and Gabriel Batistuta as the only Argentina players to have scored in three different World Cups. He has also now scored as a teenager, in his 20s and in his 30s at a World Cup. �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Thursday, June 28, 2018 7 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Tri-County Junior Golf Schedule conclusion of play each week.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande Athletic Department has announced its 2018 Summer Camps and Clinics schedule. Camps will be conducted throughout the months of June and July on the URG campus. The remaining schedules, broken down by individual sports, are as follows: Loyalty From page 6 Months ago, James’ connection with the Cavs seemed broken, hopeless. Last summer’s shocking trade of All-Star Kyrie Irving, the team’s failed attempt to integrate guard Isaiah Thomas, a lack of playmakers, assorted injuries and coach Tyronn Lue’s medical issues contributed to James appearing ready to pull up stakes again and pursue championships elsewhere. But a funny thing happened on the way to the NBA Finals. James was boosted by general manager Koby Altman’s drastic-anddramatic roster overhaul at the trading deadline, and despite a lack of cohesion and Vegas odds makers labeling the Cavs as underdogs, Cleveland advanced to a fourth straight summer showdown with Golden State, surviving two Game 7s and sweeping the topseeded Toronto Raptors along the way. Team Of course, James did all the heavy lifting. He played in all 82 regularseason games and had perhaps his best postseason, averaging 34 points, 9.1 rebounds and 9.0 assists while making a pair of buzzer-beating shots and doing all he could in a Finals sweep that could have been much different if Cleveland had not lost Game 1 in overtime. “He gave his heart and soul, die-hard energy, commitment to this team, to this franchise, to the city, to Northeast Ohio,” Altman said last week after the Cavs drafted Alabama guard Collin Sexton, who quickly raised some eyebrows by choosing to wear No. 2, Irving’s number for six seasons with Cleveland. “It was an historical year and probably one of the best postseason runs of all time. We’re very, very fortunate to have him here and what he gave to this franchise this year was nothing short of remarkable. “We don’t take that for granted at all.” Chase Walters, St. Joseph; Clay Willis, St. Joseph; Tucker Williams, LucasFrom page 6 ville Valley; Cayton Ruby, Lucasville Seth Russell, New LexValley; ington; Kenneth Arboleda, Colt Shumaker, North Wash.

Cost for the girls’ camp is $270, while the boys’ camp has a fee of $305. Fees for the residential camps include lodging, meals, training sessions and tournament play. Camp directors are URG men’s soccer head coach Scott Morrissey and women’s soccer head coach Tony Daniels.

And it’s why the Cavs haven’t surrendered from the fight to keep him. Owner Dan Gilbert, whose relationship with James remains tricky if not rocky, has displayed a willingness to spend whatever’s necessary to keep his team championship competitive. That’s unlikely to change whether James extends his second stint with Cleveland. In a recent Business Insider podcast, Gilbert referred to James as a “partner,” an acknowledgment by the billionaire to what the superstar he once criticized means to his franchise.

The Associated Press Sweden dominates Mexico 3-0, but both head to knockout round YEKATERINBURG, Russia (AP) — Sweden dominated Mexico 3-0 to move on to the World Cup knockout round, and thanks to South Korea, Mexico also advances. Ludwig Augustinsson volleyed a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa from close range five minutes into the second half, and captain Andreas Granqvist converted a penalty kick to help Sweden take control Wednesday and win Group F. Despite the loss, Mexico also advances as runner-up in the group thanks to South Korea’s surprising 2-0 over defending champion Germany. Mexico has been to the round of 16 for seven straight World Cups. Sweden had not been to the knockout stage since 2006. Mexico’s Edson Alvarez had an own goal in the 74th minute to put the game out of reach at 3-0. As Sweden’s lead grew, Mexican fans paid more attention to the other game, rooting against Germany, which could have passed Mexico with a victory depending on tiebreakers. El Tri’s faithful could be seen frantically checking their phones for scoring updates in Germany’s game soon after Sweden’s second goal. After South Koreas’ first goal, they let up a loud cheer and tossed drinks in the air as their chances of advancing improved. Great organization and some fortunate timing played out in the second half for Sweden, which successfully recovered from an emotional, lastminute loss to Germany in its second game. Augustinsson scored when the ball luckily landed in his path following a mistimed shot from Viktor Claesson that popped up straight to his teammate. For Granqvist it was his second goal from the spot in the tournament, after he also scored on a penalty kick against South Korea. With a 2-0 lead in its pocket and Mexico watching the score from the other match, Sweden took total control. It culminated with Alvarez’s own goal, which occurred when he was trying to prevent Ola Toivonen from connecting with the ball, sending it past goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. “We just need to move on,” Ochoa said. “This is the World Cup. We can’t pull it out of our pocket, it’s not going to be easy and I think it’s a good lesson for what’s to come.” Alvarez’s own goal was the seventh overall of the tournament, the most in World Cup history, breaking the record of six set in 1998. Neither Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio nor Sweden coach Janne Andersson made changes to their lineups. In Osorio’s case, it was the first time he hadn’t altered his starting 11 in consecutive games since he took over in 2015. Mexico’s Jesus Gallardo was called for a yellow card just 13 seconds in — believed to be the fastest in World Cup history — setting up the first of two quick set-piece opportunities that Sweden could not take advantage of. Each team had several near misses in the first half. Berg was just wide in the 12th minute. Mexico’s Lozano Hirving was about a foot outside the left post on his strike from about 20 yards away. Carlos Vela also had a pair of close misses. The play of the first half came in the 31st minute when Ochoa leapt to tip away a corner kick rebound shot from Berg. Wimbledon and other Grand Slam tournaments have leeway to stray from strictly following the WTA and ATP rankings when determining seedings. That’s why, for example, eighttime Wimbledon champion Roger Federer’s success on grass courts was taken into account when the All England Club bumped him up a spot to No. 1 on Wednesday, while topranked Rafael Nadal is seeded No. 2. When Williams entered the French Open in May, her first Grand Slam action in 16 months, she was not seeded by the French tennis federation. She wound up beating the women ranked No. 11 and No. 17 en route to reaching the fourth round. But because of an injured pectoral muscle, Williams pulled out of Roland Garros before what would have been a showdown against fivetime major champion Maria Sharapova. The U.S. Tennis Association says it does intend to seed Williams for the U.S. Open, which begins in August. That is part of a new plan, first reported by The New York Times, to take into account if a pregnancy affected a player’s ranking. “Pregnancy will not be penalized,” USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said. “If Serena Williams enters the 2018 U.S. Open, the USTA will recognize her accomplishments, recognize her return to the workplace and will seed her, regard- Bettman, O’Ree top Hockey HoF class By Stephen Whyno The Associated Press Willie O’Ree didn’t know he had broken the NHL’s color barrier when he made his debut in 1958. Martin Brodeur couldn’t see the three Stanley Cup titles and jaw-dropping career ahead when he played his first game in goal for the New Jersey Devils in 1992 and, a year later, Gary Bettman didn’t know he would end up growing the league by leaps and bounds over the next 25 years as its commissioner. All three will go into the Hockey Hall of Fame together as the headliners of a trailblazing class of 2018 that also includes diminutive forward Martin St. Louis, four-time goldmedal-winning Canadian women’s national team star Jayna Hefford and Russian Alexander Yakushev. O’Ree was the first black player in the NHL, Bettman has overseen the league’s expansion into a multibilliondollar industry and Brodeur piled up the most wins and shutouts of any goaltender in NHL history. “This is an exciting class to be around because everyone has tried to take their game to the next level,” Bettman said Tuesday. “I really wasn’t focused on whether this was happening now; I was really AP file Willie O’Ree, then a 25-year-old left wing for the Boston Bruins and the first black player in the National Hockey League, poses for a photo in 1960 as he warms up for a game in New York’s Madison Square Garden. O’Ree was selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Tuesday. focused on whether Willie O’Ree was going to be selected because that to me was a very important act for the Hall to take.” Bettman has been commissioner since 1993, during which time the NHL has expanded its footprint across North America and increased from 24 to 31 teams. In that time, the league has gone from a $437 million business to one with almost $5 billion in revenue. It’s been an occasionally bruising ride, with three work stoppages, including one that canceled the entire 2004-05 season and led to the salary cap. But Bettman has been nothing if not a strong leader, and alltime great Wayne Gretzky said the efforts to help each club compete have made the game stronger. “His leadership and love for hockey is very evident,” Gretzky said. “Hockey has become more entertaining year after year, thanks in part to his passion for the game.” Brodeur lifted the Stanley Cup three times with the Devils between 1995 and 2003. He leads all goalies with 691 wins and 125 shutouts in 1,266 regular-season games with the Devils and St. Louis Blues, and he won the Vezina Trophy four times. He won 113 playoff games and had a 2.02 postseason goals-against average. Brodeur also scored two regular-season goals and another in the playoffs — more than any other goalie. The Montreal native was the last real standup goaltender as the position moved almost exclusively to the butterfly technique, and his puck-handling prowess led the NHL to institute the trapezoid behind the net as a way to increase scoring. “You play your whole career and you don’t expect to get this phone call, but when it does, it definitely does feel pretty good,” said Brodeur, the Blues assistant GM who was sitting alongside Hall of Fame defenseman Larry Robinson at prospect camp in St. Louis when he got the news. “I want to thank the committee for putting me on so early.” While Brodeur and St. Louis were first-ballot selections, O’Ree had been waiting decades for this honor since making history at the Montreal Forum on Jan. 18, 1958, with the Boston Bruins. He was 32. A look at some of the top NBA free agents An NBA free-agent class with a little something for everyone hits the market on July 1.

Only two unseeded men have raised the trophy at the All England Club: Boris Becker in 1985, and Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

In 1992, the planning stages of the Flood wall Mural Project began with the formation of an ad hoc committee, which later registered as a nonprofit organization – Portsmouth Murals, Inc. (PMI).

Founded in 1790, Adams County is the third oldest county in Ohio. Rich with history and unspoiled nature, Adams County is home to many natural areas and preserves, including Shawnee Forest, Ohio’s only designated wilderness area. Nicknamed The Little Smokies of Ohio, Shawnee Forest has developed into the largest of Ohio’s state forests with over 60,000 acres. This working forest is utilized for timber harvesting, tree planting, wildlife habitat, forestry research, watershed and soil protection, and production of tree seeds. The Great Serpent Mound, one of Ohio’s greatest archaeological wonders, is located in Locust Grove. Known internationally, and recognized as a National Historic Landmark, Serpent Mound is a 1,348 foot long, three-foot-high, prehistoric effigy, built on a plateau of the Serpent Mound crater, which is the eroded remnant of a massive ancient meteorite impact crater, located along Ohio Brush Creek. Serpent Mound is the largest serpent effigy in the world.

Legend had it, a ghostly lantern can be seen hovering though the Moonville railway tunnel on stormy nights. Moonville was once a small, mining and railway town which was founding during the 1800’s iron boom and then disappeared around 150 years later. It’s said the tunnel is haunted by spirits, including a brakeman who accidentally fell beneath the wheels of a train. The 16-mile Moonville Rail Trail takes visitors through the beautiful woodlands of southeast Ohio, including Zaleski State Forest; the communities of Zaleski and Mineral; and the Lake Hope State Park wetland areas. The corridor holds water on both sides of the trail, creating a wetland area that is home to numerous species of flora and fauna. The Lake Hope Forest Park was created in 1937 as one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s many Works Progress Administration projects. It became Lake Hope State Park in 1949. The 2,983-acre park and the nearby 26,824acre Zaleski State Forest still possess remnants of the past - a past that included a small iron furnace community. Contained within this area are an old cemetery, an iron furnace, and hints of a ghost town still linger along the trails, thick with trees and wildlife. There are hiking trails, backpacking trails, and a 23-mile singletrack bike trail that was chosen as one of Ohio’s top mountain biking trails by readers of Mountain Bike Magazine. There is also a dining lodge, nature center, 66 cottages, and over 180 camping sites. The scenic 120-acre lake provides opportunities to boat, fish, and swim. Lake Alma State Park was originally constructed as a private amusement park in 1903. Although little remains of the former recreational area, Lake Alma State Park is now 292 acres of quiet lake and wooded areas. The 60-acre lake offers visitors boating, fishing, a playground, and beach area. There are also areas for camping as well as hiking trails and a paved bike path. The Hope Furnace was built over a century ago to process iron ore from the surrounding region. At the time, it was a thriving industry in the county, employing thousands to cut timber, mine, and tend the furnaces. Situated at the heart of Ohio’s Hanging Rock iron region, Lake Hope State Park reflects the rich history of much of Southeastern Ohio. However, by around 1900 iron had been discovered elsewhere and Southern Ohio’s iron furnaces were shut down. Like the Moonville Tunnel, the furnace has its own reported paranormal activity. The Zaleski State Forest is the second largest forest in the system. The Zaleski State Forest Backpack Trail was established on the forest to provide backpacking opportunities as well as to introduce some scenic and historic aspects of the forest. The main trail is a loop of 23.5 miles. There is also a 10-mile day loop trail. Tar Hollow State Forest is Ohio’s third largest state forest, containing 16,354 acres. A 46-site primitive horse camp is located at the south end of the forest on Poe Run Road. Latrines are provided at the camp, but electricity and drinking water are not available. Radiating from the horse camp are 33 miles of bridle trails. All bridle trails are south of the fire tower.
