Mike DeWine’s 18-cents-per-gallon recommended gas-tax increase to maintain roads and bridges to 10.7 cents. Republicans unveiled their plan Tuesday in a substitute version of the state transportation budget. The House ﬁnance committee planned to vote on the substitution Wednesday with a full House vote expected Thursday. DeWine proposes raising Ohio’s current tax of 28 cents per gallon by 18 cents per gallon starting July 1 and adjusting it annually for inﬂation. The House proposes an increase of 10.7 cents a gallon over three years beginning Oct. 1. The House proposal would increase the current 28-cents-per-gallon dieselfuel tax by 20 cents a gallon, with that increase also phased in over a three-year period. The House plan increase, which would not be indexed to inﬂation, would raise about $872 million per year, compared with about $1.2 billion from DeWine’s plan. DeWine pushed his recommended tax increase during his State of the State speech on Tuesday and urged See GOP | 2 FOR THE RECORD Meigs County Sheriff’s Office Day Shift Jan. 14 Deputy Martin conducted a trafﬁc stop on a disabled vehicle, Ohio HBS 2861 on State Route 7 near Eastern Local.

The following is a summary of the nomination that was shared with the OHA: “Most times when people think of healthcare the ﬁrst thought might not lead to a chaplain — but Holzer’s chaplain, simply doesn’t compare. He is affectionately called “Pastor Fred”, by patients and staff. Pastor Fred has spent his entire professional life in the Christian ministry, ﬁrst serving as an educational pastor at First Baptist Church and as the administrator of Ohio Valley Christian School for 28 years. He joined Holzer Health System in 2009 to continue his support of our community as Director of Chaplaincy Services for the Health System. Over the past decade, Dr. Williams has tirelessly served our patient base and our staff in crisis, celebration, and consternation. Pastor Fred represents healthcare inside the system and in the community with outreach, coordination of a volunteer chaplaincy program of services, an active member of his local parish and a constant contributor to Holzer Heritage Foundation and fundraising efforts. Pastor Fred makes himself available to the system 24 hours a day responding to calls from our local emergen- Courtesy photo Fred Williams, ThB, MA, Phd, Director, Holzer Chaplaincy Department cy departments to counsel and grieve with our friends and neighbors in the most trying of times. Never does Pastor Fred have a hesitation to respond with our Code Blue team, receive a page from ICU, respond to a fatal crash or simply pray for serenity in our garden of hope with a newly diagnosed cancer patient. It takes a special soul to understand and engage sorrow, anger, and misunderstanding on a daily basis and provide reassurance, patience, and understanding for all who may need a hand. Pastor Fred serves every patient, family and employee in need of a prescription of mental faith and comfort. He lives the system’s mission, “Friendly visits, excellent care every patient, every time” by embracing the entire community directly through his role as our chaplain.” The Ohio Hospital Association will recognize Pastor Fred and other candidates from hospitals throughout the state for being named their facility’s Health Care Worker of the Year at a special dinner in Columbus, Ohio, on June 4 where several Ohio caregivers will be presented awards, including the Albert E. Dyckes Health Care Worker of the Year Award. OHA asked that nominee criteria include great leader qualities, goes beyond the call of duty, reﬂects the mission and values of the organization, and gives back to the community. “I am overwhelmed at being chosen for this honor,” shared Pastor Fred. “My job is an afﬁrmation that I am able to do what God planned for my life. This is my life’s mission, to merge God’s call to serve humanity and help others when it is needed most.” Pastor Fred completed his college education at Piedmont Bible College/ International University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and received his Masters and Doctorate from Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina. He is the proud father to four sons, Andrew (Mandy) in Noblesville, Indiana, Nathan in Dayton, Ohio, Michael (Kellie) in Columbus, Ohio, and Christopher (Richelle) in Gallipolis, Ohio and the proud grandfather to Ben, Lily, Jack, and Leah. “Holzer has a wonderful multi-disciplinary team, providing integrative care for our communities,” continued Pastor Fred. “We are a unique rural care complex providing a holistic approach to healing. I am blessed to be a part of the ‘Holzer family’ and delighted to represent our system at the upcoming OHA Albert E. Dyckes Healthcare Worker of the Year reception.” Holzer is proud to have nominated Pastor Fred for this honor and ask our communities to congratulate him on this achievement.

Pump-arum. His drum keeps booming. Born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1976 to 1981. www.whitehouse. gov/. He included women and minorities in his cabinet. Graduating high school in 1977, I Melissa remember the newspaper photos of Martin his huge, cheesy smile. And stories Contributing about his peanut farm on the evening columnist news. He was a deacon at the Plains Baptist Church. Of course, who can forget the antics of his scandalous brother? Billy Beer was brewed in the United States in 1977. I remember stories about his wife, Rosalynn. From 1977 to 1978, she served as the Honorary Chairperson of the President’s Commission on Mental Health. In 1994, she published her autobiography, “First Lady from Plains.” And she is a lady. The Carter couple will celebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary in 2019. Shazam! His spunky mother, known as Miss Lillian to her neighbors, was a nurse, a Peace Corps volunteer, an unofﬁcial ambassador and a supporter of civil rights and women’s causes. In 1977, Lillian Carter became the ﬁrst woman to receive the Covenant of Peace Prize of the Synagogue Council of America. The hostage crisis in Iran happened during his presidential term. Critics and economists did not speak well of Carter’s decisions in the Oval Ofﬁce. But, nobody can argue against his steadfast integrity and devoted family values. Carter’s contributions to the world came after he left Washington D.C. Habitat for Humanity, the Nobel Peace Prize, traveling diplomat for conﬂict resolution, and the author of numerous books. And so much more. His book, “An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood” (2001, Simon & Schuster) describes his Depression-era boyhood on a Georgia farm before the civil rights movement. “Our two races, although inseparable in our daily lives, were kept apart by social custom, misinterpretation of Holy scriptures, and the unchallenged law of the land mandated by the United States Supreme Court.” A man of sincerity with compassion for humanity. His 2014 book “A Call to Action - Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” identiﬁes sexual exploitation as one of the major human rights violations of our time. Carter’s Human Rights Program works with Christian and Muslim leaders in Africa to explore how religious and traditional institutions can address the mistreatment of women and girls. “Too often, religion has been wrongly used to justify gender-based human rights abuses, including child marriage, female genital cutting, domestic violence, wartime rape, and restricted access to education and economic and political participation. The Mobilizing Faith for Women and Girls Initiative aims to change that by instead putting religious and traditional leaders at the forefront of changing harmful social norms perpetrated in the name of religion.” The Forum on Women, Religion, Violence, and Power can be accessed at forumonwomen@cartercenter.org. The Forum hosts regular live online conversations bringing together and amplifying voices of those engaged in the struggle for human rights. The Carter Center, located in Atlanta, Ga. is a nongovernmental, not-for-proﬁt organization founded in 1982 by Jimmy and his wife Rosalynn. In partnership with Emory University, the center is guided by a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering. The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum is open to the public and in the same location as the Carter Center. www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/museum/. A road trip is on my Bucket list! A drum roll, please. The man with the heart for humanity is 95 years old. Let’s show appreciation to Jimmy before he meets his Maker. Shine on Jimmy—until you reach the Pearly Gates.

THEIR VIEW Don’t fear entertainment; teach from it The world freaked out this week about a nonexistent YouTube video, the “Momo Challenge,” supposedly asking kids to do a series of dangerous tasks leading up to suicide. That proved to be a viral hoax, passed along by well-meaning parents. Meanwhile, I worked from my kitchen table for a series of half-days as our 5-year-old foster daughter, sick with the ﬂu, watched YouTube videos that interested her on the TV in the living room, right in my line of sight. She enjoys watching some videos labeled “Hello Neighbor in Real Life!” I honestly wasn’t aware of “Hello Neighbor,” a video game where you sneak into your neighbor’s house to ﬁgure out what horrible things he’s hiding in his basement, much less these live-action escapades. In these videos, a group of cute kids and their parents hide throughout their house when “Neighbor,” a person with an oversized mascot-style head, comes into the house and takes their toys. The videos are PG and fairly harmless, aside from the annoying shrieks of little girls when of a broken nuclear “Neighbor” crosses family. “Lilo & their paths.

If someone burst into our house and didn’t leave when I asked them, I’d get our family out of the house pronto and call the police, something I’ve never seen the family in her videos try. I also talked to my older girls about “Momo,” reminding them it’s a bad idea to blindly follow the instructions of anyone, especially a YouTube video. In both of these examples, my children laughed at me. Of course the 5-year-old wouldn’t hang out in a house with a stranger who broke in. Of course my older girls wouldn’t follow a creepy doll’s instructions to kill themselves. We’d taught all of them better than that. As parents, it’s not our job to protect our children from every possible danger or hoax. It’s our job to give them the tools to deal with these dangers as they present themselves. That’s the real goal of parenting. David Trinko is managing editor of The Lima News. Reach him at 567-242-0467, by email at dtrinko@ limanews.com or on Twitter @ Lima_Trinko.

Wolves continued to commit depredations on the farmers’ sheep in Lebanon Township, a gang having dens somewhere about the head of Ground Hog creek and Old Town creek. An expert trapper named Allen came from Washington County in 1840 and successfully exterminated these wolves. The panther was often met by the hunter, but was easily killed, as the animal was of a bold, deﬁant nature, he would climb a tree where he was an easy mark for the hunter’s riﬂe. Deer were found in great numbers and were a great blessing to the pioneer families, who depended for meat upon the wild game. Venison was a choice meat, while the deer’s hide was tanned and served to make various articles of apparel. The deer has disappeared from this county. Gray foxes were numerous and were great enemies to poultry raising, but the red fox seems to have superseded the gray, and neither are seen in later years. The raccoon was a great pest, destroying large quantities of corn while in a green state on the stalk. Coon hunting with dog^ was a common sport for boys until the animal has disappeared. The opossum and red and gray squirrel remain in limited numbers. As the old Ohio ﬂows….

I succeeded in capturing one of them, which began to squall at a furious rate, which brought the mother bear rushing upon me with great fury. I had to drop my prize and run for a high fence which was near, with the angry bear at my heels. After gaining the top of the fence, I seized a stake and beat off my assailants.” Elk were seen, but not in great numbers. Wolves were numerous and very troublesome. It was as common to hear the howl of a wolf in the twilight of an evening as it was to hear the crowing of a cock in the morning. They would answer each other from hill to hill when gathering their pack for the depredations upon the settler’s sheep or young cattle. In 1827, parties of road viewers were cutting out a road from Chester, the county seat of Meigs County, to Sterling Bottom, on the Ohio River, and at a certain point lay out a road from this to Old Town. The viewers were Nehemiah Bicknell, Samuel Bowman and one or two other men. They had progressed only half way from Chester when night came on and they had to spend the night in the woods. They built ﬁres for protection from wolves, whose howling they heard apparently in force, at no great distance, at intervals all night. The men kept the river until the water was up to his hips, and the wolves went in after him. He shot the foremost one through the shoulder and he went back to the water’s edge and sat down and looked at him. He defended himself with his empty riﬂe, broke the stock in many pieces, and then fought them with the empty barrel. He had the advantage of being in the water deep enough to swim the wolves, and he pounded them until they retreated to the edge of the water and sat down on their haunches and looked at him. He dared not go out of the water as he might not be able to ﬁght if they followed him. Soon Niswonger came on the shore opposite the wolves and Warth crossed over to him and told him “not to shoot — we will call it a draw game, neither party whipped.” He would not let Niswonger shoot lest they might be attacked. The hunters returned to their homes on Old Town creek, and next day increased their force and went back to the place of the battle and found two dead wolves but no live ones. Black bears were numerous in these parts of southern Ohio in the ﬁrst years of the nineteenth century. Henry Roush, of Letart Township, related an incident of his encounter with bears. He said: “I was going out to bring in the cows, and contrary to my usual custom did not take my riﬂe with me, and while passing along shirt, which held him to the ground. The hunter’s shirt was made sufﬁciently large so that he could stow a week’s provisions above the belt.) George had ﬁred on the elk, only wounding him, and so enraging the beast that he turned on the hunter and compelled George to take refuge in a high upturned root where he fought with his clubbed riﬂe till he had nothing left but the bent barrel, when the maddened elk ﬁnally dislodged him, with the above result. Our capture was a valuable one, but did not compensate for George’s gun.” An Encounter With Wolves at Shade River. George Warth and Peter Niswonger took their riﬂes and went out for a hunt. After traveling some time they came to a ridge that ran to near the mouth of Shade River, when Warth said to Niswonger, “You go on the bottom on one side of the ridge and I will take the other side and will come together at the end of the ridge on the bank of Shade River.” They started thus, but Niswonger got out of the way, and came out above the second ridge. Warth went directly to the river end of the ridge — there sat seven to ten wolves. They showed no alarm at his approach, the largest walked toward him, the others following. He shot the foremost one, and it fell dead. He reloaded his riﬂe as soon as he could, for the wolves indicated ﬁght. Then he went into the Clendenin 41/27 Charleston 42/30 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for the day.

Franklin | AP file The Cleveland Indians’ Leonys Martin is making a dramatic comeback after nearly dying last season from a blood infection. Martin homered in Tuesday’s exhibition game and he’s been having a solid training camp with the Indians, who are hoping the 31-year-old can help them this season. GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Leonys Martin turned and sprinted toward the gap in left-center ﬁeld to snare Nick Madrigal’s drive. He ripped a breaking ball over the wall in right-center for a home run, and returned a fervent embrace from a former teammate. All in a day’s work on Tuesday. All in Martin’s new life with the Cleveland Indians. Just six games after arriving from Detroit in a July 31 trade, Martin’s career came to a crashing halt. He was stricken with a life-threatening infection that entered his blood stream and damaged his organs. He feared that he would never see his wife, Yaimira, or their three children again. Fortunately, doctors at the Cleveland Clinic reversed the infection and Martin was released on Aug. 19, following a 12-day hospital stay in which he lost 45 pounds. Now, after an extensive training program in Florida, which included lunges, leg lifts, agility ladders, sprints and core strength training, Martin is back in peak physical health. Extensive hitting, throwing and ﬁelding restored his baseball readiness. “I take time to recover and get myself ready for spring training, making sure I am ready from day one, so that is exactly what I did,” Martin said after hitting a two-run homer in Cleveland’s 11-0 win over the White Sox. “It was a long way to get here, a long way to get where I want to be, it took a lot of months. I took it with baby steps; one step at a time, but thank God I am able to do what I love and happy to be back in baseball,” he said. Martin, who turns 31 on Wednesday, wore an ear-toear grin all the way around the bases after homering off left-hander Bernardo Flores Jr. It was his second home run during Cactus League play, improving his spring average to .500 (8 of 16) with a .875 slugging percentage. “He swung the bat really See MARTIN | 9 Buffalo captures MAC title ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — After Buffalo bombed Ohio with 3-pointers last month, the No. 19 Bulls seemed ready for a repeat. Buffalo hit eight of its ﬁrst 11 3-point attempts, but Ohio wouldn’t go quietly this time. The Bulls led by as many as 12 points in the second half, but the game came down to the ﬁnal possession with a desperation shot by Ohio’s Gavin Block sailing off the mark as time ran out. Buffalo’s 82-79 win on Tuesday night locked up the Mid-American Conference regular-season title and a top seed in the conference tournament. Jeremy Harris scored 20 points, and Nick Perkins and CJ Massinburg each chipped in 17 as the senior-laden Bulls (27-3, 15-2 MAC) won the conference title for the second straight year and tied the school record for wins set last year when the team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. “We just didn’t ﬁnish possessions like we needed to,” Buffalo coach Nate Oats said. “We let them hang around in the game and they did a good job cutting that thing to one-possession late in the game.” The Bobcats (13-16, 5-12) were a different team after being embarrassed by Buffalo on Feb. 19 in a 114-67 rout that saw the Bulls make a school record 19 3-pointers. The Bulls were nearly as deadly from long range this time in Ohio, hitting 15 of 34 attempts. There was an opening barrage of 3-pointers by the Bulls — who were 11 for 20 from beyond the arc before the intermission — but the Bobcats never let it get out of hand. Buffalo made only one shot from the ﬁeld that wasn’t a 3-pointer in building a 41-35 lead at the half. Perkins was 3 for 3 from 3-point range off the bench in the ﬁrst half and ﬁve players had at least one. “We had a crack at a ranked team, made a loud out,” Ohio coach Saul Phillips said. Doug Taylor had 20 points for Ohio and Teyvion Kirk added 17. Experience helps Perkins said having four seniors in the rotation helps in the tough stretch late in the year. “The end of February (into) March, guys are tired, guys are starting to complain, the season is long, it’s dragging, some guys get a little complacent and stop doing the work, so it deﬁnitely helps to have experience and guys around who have been there and done that,” he said. Poll implications The Bulls are in position to remain ranked for a MAC record 18th straight week, extending their record for a MAC team. The last time a MAC school was ranked in the AP Top 25 was 2008, when Kent State was No. 23.

The Blue Jackets won 2-1. Blue Jackets top Devils, 2-1 NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Even though they got back on the winning track, the Columbus Blue Jackets have a lot to ﬁgure out if they want to make the playoffs. Cam Atkinson and Artemi Panarin scored in a shootout and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped both New Jersey attempts as the Blue Jackets posted a 2-1 win over the Devils on Tuesday night in a game in which they were outplayed. “Other than our ﬁrst couple shifts of the game, they absolutely dictated the pace of the game,” Atkinson said after Columbus snapped a two-game losing streak. “We got out-battled and lost all the 50-50s and it’s unacceptable and obviously without Bob, they would have had a lot more goals. We’re lucky to come away with two points, let alone one.” The Blue Jackets made big moves at the trade deadline, acquiring Matt Duchene, Ryan Dzingel and Adam McQuaid, but the team now built to compete for the Stanley Cup has not looked good. “Very important points but certainly some struggles,” said coach John Tortorella, whose team has been sliding in and out of playoff position. “No matter what it looks like or no matter what the reason is, we’ve been inconsistent and we just got to go each day at a time and ﬁnd a way to get better.” Atkinson also scored the Columbus goal in regulation. Bobrovsky had 29 saves as the Blue Jackets swept their fourgame season series with New Jersey. Travis Zajac scored for New Jersey in regulation and Cory Schneider had 17 saves as the Devils lost their fourth in a row. “Overall with the amount of ﬁrepower they have I thought we did a tremendous job defensively, making them work,” Schneider said. “Offensively, I thought we had a couple of chances to get the go-ahead goal and just missed or Bobrovsky made a big save. Not good enough to get a win, but you know, that’s kind of how it goes.” After Bobrovsky stopped Blake Coleman’s attempt with his shoulder, Atkinson scored on a backhander. Schneider said Atkinson’s top move is a forehand shot. “Every goalie knows my tendencies and went with my B and it worked,” Atkinson said. Bobrovsky pokechecked the puck away from Drew Stafford on the Devils’ next try, and Panarin ended the game by slipping one between Schneider’s pads. The Devils had two great chances to take the lead late in the third period on a power play. Bobrovsky stopped a tip by Nick Lappin and Michael McLeod hit the post in a bid for his ﬁrst NHL goal. The Devils had the better scoring chances in the first two periods and they finally capitalized with three minutes left in the second period. Coleman, who had not had a point in 13 games, set up the goal by carrying the puck into the Columbus end and slamming on the brakes. He faked a shot and sent a cross-ice pass that Zajac put into an open net. “Like I said, we are not scoring as much as we need to but we are a really hard team to play against right now,” Coleman said. “Our forecheck and our effort is very obvious. A lot of guys are starting to show they can play in this league.” Atkinson had given the Blue Jackets the lead less than a minute after the opening faceoff with the help of a ﬂuky bounce off the end boards. Defenseman David Savard took a shot from the left point that hit the boards and came out the other side to a wide-open Atkinson for his career-high 36th goal. The Devils’ injuries continued to mount. Forward Jesper Bratt left the game early in the second period after being hit in the leg by a shot. Nico Hischier, the No. 1 pick in the 2017 draft, was hurt in Boston on Saturday and missed his ﬁrst game since Nov. 18 with an upper-body injury. Devils coach John Hynes had no update on Bratt’s injury after the game. Notes Columbus made one lineup change, scratching C Lukas Sedlak and dressing F Markus Hannikainen. … The Devils activated F Stefan Noesen off injured reserve. He was out almost a month with a lower-body injury. … Former Devils G Keith Kinkaid, who was shipped to Columbus at the trade deadline, was the Blue Jackets’ backup.

(AP) — College basketball teams are trying to get fans to keep coming to games in the age of smartphones by making those phones an integral part of the experience. That’s evident every time cellphones in the stands light up arenas across the country during pregame lineup introductions. Over 20 schools subscribe to a service enabling fans to have their phones light up in sync with music playing during pregame festivities. The program, organized by a company called Cue Audio, adds glitz to lineup introductions at various arenas from Oregon to Georgia. “The light show’s pretty cool,” Tennessee guard Admiral Schoﬁeld said. “Especially when (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN we have sold-out games, I think for the opposing team, you really see how many people are in the building, just by the cellphones.

(AP) — The memo PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan sent to players on the new Rules of Golf can be interpreted different ways based as much on the timing as the message. One theme was to be patient. “We are committed to playing under these rules as we analyze their effectiveness … and it’s important to acknowledge that we are not at the ﬁnish line yet,” Monahan said in a memo sent Monday. Another was to look at the USGA as a partner instead of a villain. “This is a collaborative process, one the PGA Tour has been a part of from the beginning, along with all organizations in the world of golf,” he wrote. The hope is that it will lead players to stop complaining about the rules and simply follow them. The latter has not been as big of a problem as the media — social or otherwise — has let on. According to ShotLink data that tracks every shot on the PGA Tour, only three penalties under the new rules have been assessed to tour members on roughly 258,000 shots hit this year. One of them was last week in the Honda Classic when Adam Schenk was penalized two shots because his caddie was standing behind him for a tough shot out of the bunker. The caddie alignment rule already was adjusted on the ﬂy a month earlier in Phoenix, allowing a player to avoid the penalty if he steps out of his stance. Schenk didn’t, even ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Two days after his ﬁrst PGA Tour victory, Keith Mitchell still had not checked his bank account to see if his Honda Classic earnings of more than $1.2 million had cleared. That’s about $400,000 less than when he earned his entire rookie season. Just don’t expect him to go on any shopping spree. And to hear Mitchell talk on Tuesday, he is more inclined to spend it on someone else. Mitchell was asked about the biggest thing he has ever bought for himself since joining the PGA Tour, and he mentioned a watch for his father. There’s a story behind that. “When my grandfather passed away, he gave his watch,” Mitchell said. “It was cool because my dad had given my grandfather that watch when he got out of medical school. It was like a ‘thank you’ to him. I felt like me getting on tour was like me graduating med school. So I got him a similar watch — same style, different color.” What kind of watch? Mitchell smiled and said, “I’ll leave that out.” He said his father always ﬁgured he would go the education route instead of professional golf, mainly because Mitchell’s father worked hard through medical school and saw what kind of opportunities it provided. “It was tough for him to grasp the whole golf world, because he played golf for fun,” Mitchell said. Golf is working out pretty well for Mitchell, who earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour along with a spot in the Masters next month, which will be his ﬁrst major. And he has a college degree from Georgia. Mitchell was one semester short when he ﬁnished his senior season with the Bulldogs and had thought about turning pro after the NCAA Championship. Instead, he went back and ﬁnished up his degree. “I never wanted to say there’s a Plan B,” he said, referring to his diploma. “If you know there’s a Plan B, you don’t put as much effort on Plan A. It was just two months. I knew if I didn’t do it, I’d look back on it forever. It was two months out of my life at age 22.” So what does he plan to do with his Honda earnings? “I always wanted to buy my mom a car,” he said. “She helped me get my ﬁrst car. But Honda gave me the keys to a new Honda. I might go that route.” Martin From page 6 well. He’s swung well against lefties and righties,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “The more lefties he sees the better, keeps your mechanics.” Martin’s performance is not surprising, according to Francona, because he and his staff kept close tabs on his offseason progress. His strength, however, has been eyeopening. “I think we were, if not surprised, pleased, that his strength was back,” Francona said. “But he got back pretty quick. It was kind of amazing how quickly he got back.” The Indians are counting on Martin to help stabilize their outﬁeld following the departures of All-Star Michael Brantley and Lonnie Chisenhall. Martin, a full-time major leaguer since 2013, ﬂashed home run power in 2016 with 15 in his last season with the Texas Rangers, who signed him in 2011 after he defected from his native Cuba. Last season, he hit nine home runs for the Tigers and two in the six games he played for Cleveland before becoming ill on Aug. 7. With a childlike enthusiasm, Martin is eager for the April 1 home opener to play in front of the Cleveland fans who rooted for him throughout his hospitalization and recovery. “Something I will never forget is the support,” he said. “Cleveland fans were awesome. For me, it is awesome that they see that I am ready. And I can’t wait to get back on the ﬁeld.” Martin, who also played for the Mariners and the Cubs, is thrilled to be with a squad that has won the AL Central the past three seasons and has a legitimate shot at making the World Series. “It is an opportunity to be with a team that is going to have the chance to be in the playoffs,” he said. “And that’s the goal for every player, to be in the playoffs. And that’s what I want to do; to help this team be back in the playoffs.” Martin, who was embraced by Chicago ﬁrst baseman Yonder Alonso, a fellow Cuban who played with Cleveland last year, said he wants to move on and limit discussions about his illness. “Whatever happened in the past, I don’t want to talk about any more. So now it is time to play baseball and move forward,” he said. As a ﬂeet defensive player with an accurate arm, he is tied for fourth among center ﬁelders in defensive runs saved since 2012. In his view, it is all about effort. “I just want to go out there and do my best to help the team, to play hard every single day,” he said. Outﬁelder Tyler Naquin, who has worked throughout spring training with Martin to develop their communication, is impressed with how far his teammate has progressed. “His hard work is showing,” Naquin said. “It was scary, but Leonys is a strong dude. He worked hard to put himself back where he is now. It is a blessing to see it.” NOTES: All-Star SS Francisco Lindor continues to make progress in his recovery from a right calf strain. Francona said Lindor has been taking grounders, hitting in the cage and “every day he adds to it, the intensity and the amount of stuff he does.” Thursday, March 7, 2019 9 though it was evident his caddie was there to discuss the best way to play the shot, not to show him where to hit it. No matter. Modern rules are still written in black and white. That’s when Justin Thomas, who earlier in the week had said the new rules were “terrible,” tweeted the ruling with two hashtags: growthegame and USGA. The USGA, a convenient scapegoat from too many U.S. Opens that were marred by rules disputes (Oakmont) or course setup (Saturday at Shinnecock), decided to bite back with a tweet that was shockingly inappropriate for such an austere organization that has been around for 114 years. It accused Thomas of canceling every meeting they had scheduled, noted that USGA rules experts were on site for ﬁve straight tournaments to start the year (Thomas played three of them) and suggested that he “call us.” He did. And it turned nasty. Thomas said no meetings were ever scheduled, much less canceled, and the USGA tweet was inaccurate. The USGA soon sent another tweet thanking Thomas for getting in touch with them “ofﬂine ” (translation: privately). Monahan says USGA chief executive Mike Davis left him a message saying he would call Thomas to apologize. On Tuesday, the USGA corrected itself with another tweet — lacking an apology — saying that Thomas did not cancel any meeting or dodge any discussion and that it valued all the players’ opinions. So maybe the USGA deserves some credit. If not for the original tweet, odds are Monahan would not have sent the memo to players. The message still needed to be delivered. “It was important to remind the membership of the role we play, how important their voices are and to continue to make certain our players give us constructive feedback we need to have a proper discussion with the governing bodies,” Monahan said Tuesday at Bay Hill. Some of the feedback hasn’t been all that constructive. Rickie Fowler, penalized in Mexico City after failing to drop the ball from knee-height, said the new rules are “not doing any favors to our sport.” Neither was Fowler by not taking ownership of his mistake, instead suggesting the rule will be changed. Thomas thinks the new rules are terrible, a blanket statement for 24 rules, most of which have introduced common sense that have been lacking (removing a leaf from a bunker, repairing spike marks on the green, eliminating penalties for accidentally moving your ball on the green). During ﬁve years of meetings to reshape the rules, the PGA Tour had some 50 items on its list of proposals. Tyler Dennis, the tour’s vice president of competition, said virtually all of them were incorporated. This wasn’t just a USGA and R&A function. It was every- one. The idea that the PGA Tour should set its own rules is a dangerous path and one that doesn’t interest Monahan. He sees the professional tours working with — and being heard by — the USGA and R&A. What would those rules look like, anyway? Rules, ancient or modern, have provided a structure for golf at every level for more than 250 years. Why is it suddenly a problem now? What’s amazing is that as much as modern golfers look at themselves as athletes, they can’t seem to ﬁgure out how to bend ever so slightly to drop the ball at knee level. Is it really that hard? For all the drama created by so much unnecessary complaining, one message Monahan wanted to make clear was to keep talking. Discussion is healthy. Reasonable debate can lead to change. Thomas did just that in Phoenix, leading to the caddiealignment tweak. But be reasonable. Be patient. Minus the theatrics, the knee-level drop should soon be as routine as starting up a courtesy car (with a full tank of gas). ”This is an industry in which change is not a natural act,” Monahan said Tuesday. “You have this amount of change, you’re bound to have questions. We anticipated that, and that’s where we are. Some rules are getting a lot of discussion, and they will continue to get a lot of discussion. But right now, these are the rules we’re playing under, and we need to let them perform.” THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 6 PM WSAZ News 3 (WSAZ) 3 (N) WTAP News 4 (WTAP) (N) ABC 6 News 6 (WSYX) at 6pm (N) Arthur 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 18 24 25 26 (WGN) (ROOT) (ESPN) (ESPN2) 27 (LIFE) 29 (FREE) 30 (PARMT) 31 (NICK) 34 (USA) 35 (TBS) 37 (CNN) 38 (TNT) 39 (AMC) 40 (DISC) 42 (A&E) 52 (ANPL) 57 (OXY) 58 60 61 (WE) (E!)

FIFA explores Kuwait, Oman A person with knowl edge of the situation tells The Associated Press FIFA is explor ing Oman and Kuwait becoming co-hosts of the 2022 World Cup with Qatar if the field of teams is expanded from 32 to 48.

Expand ing the tournament would require placing games in other coun tries.
