The budget would triple state funding for defending criminal suspects who can’t afford lawyers and allot $900 million now for water-quality projects over the next decade, including addressing toxic algae in Lake Erie. It also calls for raising the minimum age for buying cigarettes, other tobacco products and alternative nicotine products from 18 to 21. The proposal would preserve Medicaid expansion in Ohio but eliminate the Office of Health Transformation, which was created by DeWine’s predecessor, GOP Gov. John Kasich, to overhaul the Medicaid program and recommend reorganization of state health and human-service agencies. That office has completed its work, said Kim Murnieks, DeWine’s budget director. The budget covers the twoyear period starting July 1. The GOP-led Legislature must debate changes and send it back for DeWine to approve before then. Democratic lawmakers said they were encouraged by the governor’s support for investing in children and families, cleaning up Lake Erie and maintaining access to affordable health care, but questioned how the proposed spending increase of more than $1 billion annually would be funded. “We can’t build a budget on broken economic assumptions or wishful thinking,” House MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS OHIO BRIEFS National Poison Prevention Week Judge tosses pipeline suit include taking Did you know the wrong medimore than two milcation and taking lion poisonings are more than the reported each year prescribed dose. to the Nation’s PoiAccording to the son Centers?

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — A judge has tossed out a lawsuit Ohio filed against the developers of a $4.2 billion natural gas pipeline that stretches from West Virginia to Michigan. The lawsuit sought to force the builders of the Rover Pipeline to pay fines for what Ohio regulators said were numerous water pollution violations during the pipeline’s construction. A county judge in Canton ruled earlier this week that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency had waived its right to regulate construction under the Clean Water Act. Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners argued it was up to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to enforce environmental laws during construction. A spokesman for the Ohio attorney Minority Leader Emilia Sykes, of Akron, said in a statement. Murnieks insisted the proposal was realistic and not based on padded estimates about revenue or expenditures. DeWine noted that his plan doesn’t count on any money from sports wagering, though a U.S. Supreme Court ruling opened that option for states, and lawmakers are considering a bill to legalize it in Ohio. The operating budget is separate from the transportation budget, in which DeWine sought an 18-cent gas-tax increase to fund needed road repairs and construction. The Ohio House approved a lesser increase of 10.7 cents per gallon . The Senate will consider it next. general’s office tells The Repository in Canton the state is reviewing the decision and is considering its next step. Feds OK work requirement COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A federal agency has approved work rules for Ohioans who receive health care benefits through the state’s Medicaid expansion program. The state Department of Medicaid says Friday’s approval means “ablebodied” Ohioans will need to show they work 20 hours a week or are looking for a job, receiving education or training, or engaged in community service. The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says Ohio is the ninth state to invoke Medicaid work requirements. Those exempt from the requirement include those 50 or older, parental caretakers, people with chronic conditions, and those who qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and the Able-Bodied Adults without Dependents program. Ohio House Democrats say the new rules will cost around 36,000 Ohioans enrolled through Medicaid expansion their health care benefits.

As GM began laying off workers in Lordstown last week, we also heard the company is planning to close its West Chester processing center this spring, laying off another 100 workers. This news has been devastating for workers, their families, local businesses, and the entire community. But it didn’t have to be this way. I met with GM CEO Mary Barra and she said the Cruze wasn’t selling, and they want to invest in electric vehicles instead – but they’re building GM’s new Chevy Blazer in Mexico. GM could retool the Lordstown plant and make those cars in Ohio, but they won’t. Sen.

And if that Ameri- back into the U.S. can car is electric or a plug-in hybrid, they get an even bigger $4,500 discount – those are the cars GM said it was going to start making instead of the Cruze. Second, companies that cut the number of American jobs they had on the day the president’s tax bill passed, and add those jobs overseas, lose their tax break. The president’s tax bill allowed companies to pay just 10.5 percent in taxes on some of their overseas profits, instead of the full 21 percent corporate rate. It’s like handing out 50-percentoff coupons to companies that send jobs overseas. Our bill says that if you move American jobs abroad, you lose your 50-percent-off coupon and pay the full 21 percent. On the other hand, if you keep jobs in the U.S., you keep your discounted rate. President Trump promised American autoworkers he would fight for them – he told the people of the Mahoning Valley, “Don’t move, don’t sell your house. We’re going to fill up those factories or rip them down and build new ones.” Workers in Lordstown are still waiting. I’m calling on the president to keep his promises and help us pass the American Cars, American Jobs Act. Sherrod Brown (D), represents Ohio in the United States Senate.

And a cousin found the other half in a metal box under a hay mound in a barn. The barn was being torn down, and the cousin heard a metal tinkle when he moved the mound of hay with a forklift.

A neighbor’s car rolled down one of those hills and into a lake. When retrieved by a wrecker, the car was full of fish. A wag called out, “That’s a heck of a way to go fishing.” My best buddy growing up was my mongrel mutt Bimbo. An older brother and sister were my mentors, both excelling in sports. So I followed in their footpaths, though my career in team sports had — shall we say — an inauspicious beginning at age nine. I had never before been on an indoor basketball court with baskets at BOTH ends. So when I got the ball at midcourt and saw all the other players in front of me but no one behind me, I whirled and drove to the unguarded basket, scoring my first basket … for the OTHER team. What I heard as my coaches yelling “GO, GO, GO” was their screaming “NO, NO, NO.” Live and learn. My last field goal in competitive play was equally memorable.

Did you know that we also provide “Healthy Lifestyle Programs?” These evidence-based programs help individuals learn to take control of their lives and manage health conditions. “A Matter of Balance” is an educational program for individuals age 60 and over that teaches practical strategies to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels. Participants learn to view falls as controllable, set realistic goals, change their environment to reduce risk factors, and increase strength and balance through exercise. The “Chronic Disease Self-Management Program” and “Diabetes SelfManagement Program” helps adults age 60 and over gain confidence in their ability to manage symptoms and understand how their health problems affect their lives. Individuals who could benefit from the program are those with long-term health challenges such as asthma, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, or other life-long conditions. The program emphasizes the persons’ role in managing their illness and building their self-confidence so that they can be successful in adopting healthy behaviors. Participants in the class learn to deal with pain, fatigue and depression; discover ways to be more physically active; learn how to eat healthier; learn better ways to talk about their health with physicians and family; set personal goals; and find ways to relax and deal with stress. Participants can represent an individual with a chronic disease, a caregiver of someone with a chronic disease, or someone who wants to learn more about healthy living. The “Chronic Pain Self-Management” workshop is an educational series presented by the AAA7 that is designed to help individuals age 60 and over with learning proven strategies to manage chronic pain and feel better. The program was developed with Stanford University and has been evaluated in clinical trials. People who participate in the program generally report more energy, less pain, and improved mental health. They are also less dependent on others, more involved in everyday activities, and are more satisfied with their lives. The class is not a substitute for medical treatment, but can give you tools and ideas to improve or complement treatments and other efforts From page 1A she couldn’t do something, she’d do it just to show them,” he said. After graduating from Wirt County High School in 2001, Lynch, along with her brother Gregory Jr., joined the Army. She left for South Carolina to start basic training on Sept. 19, 2001, less than two weeks after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Even in the wake of the tragedy, Lynch did not figure on seeing combat. Instead, after basic training, she saw her time in Fort Bliss, where she was stationed as a supply clerk, as a good way to gain some practical business experience. As Lynch saw it, she would be in the Army for a few years, get out, return to school and follow her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher. But as it did for thousands of others in the military, the start of the war in Iraq changed everything. By March 2003, with the war fully started, Lynch was in Iraq with the 507th Maintenance Company. On March 23, 2003, the war was just a few weeks old. Lynch’s company, which was staked out near the end of an 8,000-vehicle convoy, ran into trouble in the city of Nasiriya. Faulty navigational equipment had led them right into enemy territory, resulting in a 90 minute long fire fight that resulted in the death of 11 American soldiers and the capture of an injured Lynch. For the next week, Lynch was held captive by the Iraqi soldiers at Saddam Hospital in Nasiriya. She was rescued soon after by U.S. troops who stormed the facility.

The stories of her heroism included accounts of a severely injured Lynch firing her gun at Iraqi soldiers until she ran out of ammunition. A Private First Class member of the U.S. Army, the fresh-faced Lynch was suddenly the face of American forces in Iraq. But later reports cast everything in a different light. According to some accounts, there were not actually any Iraqi soldiers present when a team of Special Operations forces raided the hospital. Further reports indicated that Iraqi hospital officials even tried to return the injured Lynch back to the Americans prior to the raid on their facility. Lynch showed her exasperation at the media buzz built up around her. When she was able, she quickly went on the record to say she had not fired a single round during the firefight in Nasiriya. Her gun had jammed, she told reporters. As for her injuries, they came not from enemy soldiers, she said, but the crashing of her Humvee. In addition, Lynch was irate at the military for using her to trumpet the SATURDAY, MARCH 23rd 2019 AT 10AM River Valley High School teacher Aaron Walker addresses students and their guests before they begin literary discussions. to be able to dialogue and discuss works of significance from multiple perspectives and provide an informal atmosphere to do so.

Upon her release from the hospital, Lynch, who was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Prisoner of War medals, published her biography, “I am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story.” In recent years, Lynch has left the Army. She became engaged to Wes Robinson, and welcomed a daughter, Dakota Ann, who was born in January 2007. She named her daughter after one of the soldiers killed in the ambush in Nasiriya. Lynch also has since earned a bachelor’s and a master’s degree and has gone to a teaching career in her West Virginia community.

David Wells, contemporary jazz musician and founder of the Chocolate Jazz Foundation 501C3, was bullied throughout high school and college days. However, he did not let this stop him from achieving his dream of being a jazz musician and fueled him to become a motivational speaker encouraging students to make right the choices and raise awareness about bullying. Recently, Wells visited Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School (PPJ/SHS), which was sponsored by Trinity United Methodist Church in Point Pleasant. Wells, who resides in Parkersburg, has been visiting various schools for approximately seven years now, traveling throughout West Virginia and Ohio, as well as in larger cities like Indianapolis, Ind., Chicago, Ill. and Nashville, Tenn., speaking to students ranging from elementary to high school age. All assemblies Wells attends are cost free to the schools a they are funded by sponsors. Wells shared he was approached by a principal at a school where he was helping with the music program and was asked if he knew anyone who could speak about bullying with the students. After some thought, he figured he could do a fair job at speaking to students on this subject and so it began. The focus of his presentations are based around bullying and making the right choices in life, focusing on the three D’s — desire, discipline, and determination. He also talks about his journey of being a jazz musician in West Virginia. During the earlier years of his musical career, Wells had to learn to conquer his stage fright without the use of mood-altering substances. For a time, he used prescription drugs and alcohol to help him cope. When Wells arrived to the stage of his musical career when he obtained an agent, his agent tried to encourage him to move to a bigger city to help him improve his career. Wells did not want to leave his hometown though, he chose to Photos by Erin Perkins | OVP David Wells recently visited PPJ/SHS to speak with students about bullying and making the right choices in life.

David Wells asking elementary students for audience participation during a presentation. make his career work and stay in West Virginia. “Whenever I come into a school in West Virginia, I put really a lot into it because I’m from West Virginia. We got this stigma. So many kids, even parents, use the reason I’m not successful is because I’m born in West Virginia, there’s no contacts, there’s no money…all of my accomplishments that I have achieved in music was in West Virginia. I didn’t move to a bigger city, it was a lot of hard work,” said Wells. “The easiest thing for anyone to do is to quit, I mean anybody can quit…if they keep on getting knocked down, if they keep on getting back up, those are the ones that will be making a difference.” Throughout the assemblies at PPJ/ SHS, Wells put on mini concerts playing his melodic flugelhorn and showed video clips for emphasis. During the middle school assembly, since he was touching on such an emotional subject, he lightened the mood for the students by inviting three staff members up to the stage to try their hand at playing the trumpet. At one point during his presentation, Wells played the popular tune “Hallelujah” while a clip from “Shrek” played in the background. Wells commented in the movie “Shrek” the title character feels like an outcast to the villagers as he is an ogre and looks different from them. At one point he tells his friend Donkey it is best if he is left alone commenting, “I don’t have a problem with villagers, the villagers have a problem with me.” Following, Wells showed a video made by an elementary school which visually captured all a bullied child must carry on them throughout the day. “A bully is a person who has low self esteem, in other words, they think they can’t do certain things well, they think they can’t do anything well, so what they’ll do 99 percent of the time is pick on someone smaller themselves to make them feel better about themselves,” said Wells. “Bullying is worse today than it has ever been…one out of three kids is bullied every day of school, one out of five kids are the one doing the bullying, there is between 175-200,000 kids a day who don’t go to school because they’re afraid of being bullied or criticized. As I have mentioned, 90 percent of all the bullying that takes place is because of somebody’s appearance.” Wells visits numerous schools throughout the year and some of these schools have extreme cases of bullying. At one school he visited in Perrysville, Ohio nine students in one year died from suicide and/ or drug overdose. He shared 85 percent of bullying cases do not receive intervention because most children do not let the adults in their lives know what is happening. However, Wells explained, there are two ways students can confront bullying, one way is to stand up against the bully and tell them to stop and the other is to speak out and tell the nearest adult about the bullying situation that was witnessed.

After trying his hand at teaching school, then spending two years at Ohio University, Story headed west to Kansas Territory. He made his way to the Army Post of Fort Leavenworth where he was hired on as a “bullwhacker” or teamster, someone who would drive pack animals hauling goods across long distances. By 1862, Story was hauling goods out of Denver, Colorado, and once on a trip to Missouri he met Ellen Trent and married her in Kansas later that year. By 1863, Story, tired of the teamster life, decided to try his hand as a prospec- tor in the Montana gold fields. By June, Story had mined about $30,000 worth of gold around Alder Gulch, Montana. By today’s standards, Nelson Story would have mined nearly $607,000 worth of gold. During his tenure in Montana, Story went on to become a charter member of one of Montana’s first Masonic lodges, as well as served on a vigilance committee, a group voluntarily enforcing law and order. Story decided to trade his $30,000 worth of gold for $20,000 cash. Story traveled to Fort Worth, Texas, and purchased 1,000 head of cattle (although some sources say closer to 3,000) for around $10 a head. At this time, cattle could be purchased for very little in Texas due to postconfederate economies, and a high supply due to eastern and British interests in the market which led to overpopulation. From April to December 1866, Story overcame “jayhawkers” in Kansas, after being denied putting cattle on trains from fear of disease. He then decided to head the cattle up the Bozeman trail. During that drive, Story defied orders from Colonel Henry B. Carrington of The United States Army to stop his advance north due to the threat of Indians. Story eventually fought Sioux and Crow Indians in Wyoming while on his way to Montana. Fortunately for Story’s crew of around 30, only one died and two Sunday, March 17, 2019 7A were injured in the drive from Texas to Montana. While this was not the first cattle to be driven to Montana, it is the first herd of cattle to be driven from Texas to Montana. Once he arrived in Bozeman, Montana, Story sold some of his beef to miners at an astounding profit, making 10 times more than he paid for them in Texas. Others he kept and started his own ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana. In 1882, Story opened the Story Flour Mill at the mouth of Bridger Creek, producing up to 100 bushels of flour a day. Story was the major supplier of beef and flour for the U.S. Army at Fort Ellis, Fort C.F. Smith, and for the nearby Indian Reservations in southeastern Montana. This business deal eventually made Story the first millionaire in Bozeman. In 1876, the Army accused him of defrauding the Crow nation by filling pork barrels with offal, double-counting single sacks of flour, passing off calves as fully-grown cattle, and attempting to bribe an officer. Story never stood trial, reportedly later boasting about avoiding prosecution by bribing the grand jurors. He also had a terrible temper which resulted in violence on more than one occasion. According to one account, he was notorious for pistol- or cane-whipping those who incurred his wrath and once threw a brick at his own son in anger. Because of his fortune, Story went on to build a mansion on West Main Street in Bozeman, and it was so elaborate and grand in design, it was often mistaken as the Gallatin County Courthouse which sat across the street. Nelson Story died on March 10, 1926, at age 87 in Los Angeles, California, and is buried in Sunset Hills Cemetery, Bozeman, Montana. In 1959, Nelson Story was inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as a Great Westerner. In 2008, Story was inducted into the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame as a founding legacy member. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel.

(AP) — Former coal baron Don Blankenship is suing several news outlets and media personalities, claiming he was defamed during his failed bid for a U.S. senate seat in West Virginia. Blankenship’s suit was filed Thursday in Mingo County, West Virginia. It names The Associated Press among other large media companies. Blankenship says news organizations waged a concerted plot to destroy him by erroneously labeling him as a convicted felon or saying he was imprisoned for manslaughter. Blankenship is the former CEO of Massey Energy, which owned a mine where a 2010 explosion killed 29 workers. He spent a year in federal prison after being convicted of conspiring to break mine safety laws, a misdemeanor. Blankenship is seeking $12 billion in damages. Nuke plant likely to shut BROWNVILLE, Neb. (AP) — A nuclear power Immunization clinic Spring Career Fair Cemetery Cleanup Preschool Screening Annual Hunters, Fishermen, Campers, Hikers Auction IN BRIEF Ex-coal baron sues media Volunteers to install free smoke alarms plant along the swollen Missouri River in southeast Nebraska will likely be shut down early Saturday as the river continues to rise following heavy rain earlier this week, a plant spokesman said Friday. The Cooper Nuclear Station uses water from the river to generate power, but workers will shut it down if the river reaches a gauge level of 45.5 feet in nearby Brownville. That river level means water is nearing the top of the levee that protects the plant. The National Weather Service predicts the river will reach that level around 1 a.m. Saturday. If that happens, the fuel rods will be pulled so no heat is generated to make steam that drives the turbines, halting power generation at the plant, according to Nebraska Public Power District spokesman Mark Becker. Becker said such flood levels don’t pose a danger because the plant maintains federally approved procedures and design features to keep radioactive fuel cool, including two main lines of outside power, on-site generators and a battery system that can power pumps. The district also has been adding sandbags atop its protective river levee in Nebraska, and Becker noted that a different levee on the Missouri side of the river is lower, meaning any overflow or breach would spill into flood plains there and reduce pressure on the Nebraska side.

Mike is in Toledo today and headed back to Columbus tonight, so I thought I would make him a special pie. He loves two-crust fruit pies — cherry, apple, black raspberry, blueberry, peach — almost any kind. But today, since I’ve been researching the recipes of other first ladies, I thought it would be fun to make one of Janet Voinovich’s recipes. It is a recipe without any fruit, an old-fashioned cream pie. Many cooks made recipes like this one in late winter and early spring when they had no fruit. And it is very good. This recipe is in the special edition cookbook that Janet and I made together in 1990, Fran DeWine and Janet Voinovich’s Family Favorites.

Betzing — a four-time OVP 12 selection — was a repeat selection as the area’s top female player. The Ohio University track and field signee averaged 16.2 points while becoming the fifth girl in MHS history to surpass the 1,000-point plateau in a career. Betzing — a 5-foot-7 guard — paced the Lady Marauders to a 15-9 record and led the Maroon and Gold to their first sectional championship since the 2000 campaign. That district appearance — as well as one of the area’s two winning records — ultimately catapulted MHS coach Jarrod Kasun into receiving Coach of the Year honors in the tri-county area. Baer — a repeat selection from last season’s OVP 12 squad — guided the Marauders to a 13-11 mark and also became the first MHS boy to surpass 1,000 career points in two decades (1999). Baer — a 6-2 guard — averaged 19.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.4 steals for the Maroon and Gold. That duo made up onefifth of the 10 repeat selections to the 2019 team, including one coaching decision. Gallia Academy boys coach Gary Harrison won Coach of the Year honors for the second consecutive postseason, primarily for his work after losing reigning OVP 12 Player of the Year and Division I prospect Zach Loveday to Huntington Prep (WV).

Point Pleasant came away with 10 of the 14 divisional selections, but ultimately had to share the top coaching honors during the selection of the third annual Ohio Valley Publishing 14 wrestling team — as voted on by the two fulltime sports reporters from the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Point Pleasant Register and The Daily Sentinel. The third-ever tricounty area all-star team was chosen under the pretense of selecting the top wrestler from Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties in each of the 14 weight classes. A Coach of the Year and a Most Outstanding Wrestler were also chosen as part of the local postseason honors. The Big Blacks — who sent 14 grapplers to state and finished the weekend with the program’s fourth Class AA-A championship — led the local programs with 11 total choices. PPHS also led the inaugural squad with nine total selections and had 16-of- only other program to have multiple selections with two choices, while Wahama, South Gallia and Eastern each came away with a single representative. A pair of local veterans — Point Pleasant’s John Bonecutter and River Valley’s Matthew Huck — shared Coach of the Year honors after each skipper led their programs to new heights.

Associated Press There have been 65 field goals compared to 75 offensive TDs. Five teams aren’t averaging 20 points an outing. Most obvious is the level of performance at quarterback and receiver. To get a full appreciation of how good NFL passers are — even the mediocre ones — an examination of Alliance QBs is educational. For the most part, there are enough off-target throws, even if by a foot or less, to cause interceptions. Plus, the wideouts in general don’t have the hands or agility to make the adjustments we see from, say, Julio Jones or Larry Fitzgerald. Dropped passes have plagued virtually every AAF team, something that will prove worrisome for those receiving invitations to NFL workouts, minicamps and training camps. There will be a significant number of players getting those invites. Off the field, the Alliance has shown staying power — isn’t that what it’s all about? — with good TV ratings, digital participation and solid enough attendance. Weather has been a factor in some cities, including blizzard-like conditions for one game in Salt Lake City. Spring isn’t really sprung in several AAF locales, but the league reports that San Antonio is averaging about 28,000 fans and San Diego has had two crowds of more than 20,000. Generally, attendance has been 10,000 or above, though Birmingham (6,539), Salt Lake (9,302) and Arizona (9,531) have had fewer fans for a game. League co-founders Polian and Charlie Ebersol and chairman Tom Dundon — the major backer who is pouring $250 million into the Alliance — speak glowingly about how many eyeballs are watching. One of the broadcast partners, CBS, even is switching two games from its cable outlet to its main network, including a regularseason contest on April 7, NCAA Final Four weekend. CBS televised the league opener from San Antonio on Feb. 9 and got a 2.1 rating that beat the NBA on ABC. Turner Sports originally signed up for one in-season game and a playoff. It has added two Saturday afternoon matches. NFL Network, the other main AAF broadcaster, has averaged 502,000 viewers, the Alliance says, and saw a rise in audience on a night its game went up against the Academy Awards. “We experienced a 15 percent rise in viewership on NFL Network from Week2 to Week 3, even with our Sunday prime-time game taking place during the Oscars,” Ebersol says. OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Rio’s Timoner named NAIA Scholar-Athlete KANSAS CITY, Mo. – University of Rio Grande redshirt sophomore Raul Timoner is among those named to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) 2019 Daktronics NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athletes list. The native of Alaior, Spain was among 179 student-athletes recognized by the national office on Monday. In order to be nominated by an institution’s head coach or sports information director, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, must appear on the eligibility certificate for the sport and have attended two full years as a non-transfer or one full year as a transfer. Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.) and Mayville State (N.D.) led the way as seven member institutions finished with at least five honorees. In order to be nominated by an institution, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved a junior academic status to qualify for this honor. Representing the RedStorm were seniors Jaida Carter (New Philadelphia, OH), Chelsy Slone (Gallipolis, OH), Megan Liedtke (Beverly, OH) and Whitney Gilkeson (Marietta, OH), as well as juniors Megan Duduit (Minford, OH) and Natalie Seeberg (Urbana, OH). Concordia (Neb.) and Mount Marty (S.D.) led the pack with nine student-athletes collecting the honors on each team.

Monday. RedStorm WBB places 6 on NAIA Scholar-Athlete list Browns GM tempers expectations after Beckham deal CLEVELAND (AP) — Fans are scrambling to get their hands on tickets, jerseys and make their first Odell Beckham Jr. sighting. It’s only mid-March and Cleveland’s in a full-blown football frenzy. Expectations for the upcoming season, which were already enormous before the team traded for Beckham, have spun out of control. Browns general John Dorsey’s trying to rein them in. Super Bowl? Slow down, folks. “Expectations, I hear a lot about that, but I know this — good football teams, they win in the fall,” Dorsey said Thursday, a day after the Browns officially landed Beckham in a franchise-changing trade from the New York Giants. “What we have done is we have added some talent. Now, the chemistry part has to take over with it. “Teams win in the fall. They do not win in March, and that is good teams.” He’s constructed a pretty good one as well — at least on paper. Dorsey, who has transformed the Browns from winless to contenders in just more than a year, figured to make some moves during the offseason to upgrade his roster. However, when he recently said at the combine that he wasn’t prepared to “go for it” it appeared he would wait until the draft to add talent. That changed with his stunning acquisition of Beckham, one of the NFL’s biggest stars, along with Pro Bowl edge rusher Olivier Vernon in a trade from New York as well as signing defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson to a three-year, $36 million free agent contract. Dorsey also made several other moves designed to plug holes. As has been his way, Dorsey never tipped his hand. NFL suspends Browns’ Kareem Hunt 8 games for ‘altercations’ CLEVELAND (AP) — The NFL suspended Browns running back Kareem Hunt for eight games after a video showed him kicking a woman and his involvement in a fight at a resort. The league on Friday cited a violation of its personal conduct policy “for physical altercations at his residence in Cleveland last February and at a resort in Ohio last June.” Hunt will not be paid during the half-season suspension, which he will not appeal. The league recently completed an investigation that included a review of law enforcement records, video and electronic communications and interviews with witnesses as well as Hunt, who said he met with Commissioner Roger Goodell last week. The 23-year-old said he wants to “again apologize for my actions.” Hunt will be allowed to practice with the Browns through training camp until the suspension begins Aug. 31 after the final roster reduction. Hunt has been working out at the Browns’ facility in Berea, Ohio, and is scheduled to take part in the team’s offseason program starting April 1. Hunt was released last season by the Kansas City Chiefs after a video surfaced showing him pushing and kicking a woman. The footage drew a public outcry and led to the Chiefs cutting ties with one of their best players amid a Super Bowl push. Hunt later admitted lying to the Chiefs. The Browns signed Hunt in February, saying he was remorseful. General manager John Dorsey drafted Hunt while he was in Kansas City and felt the Ohio native was contrite and deserved a second chance. “I know that he has really done a nice job of being committed and of doing that work so that he can be the best version of himself,” Dorsey said Thursday. “I know he has been diligently working on that.” The league said Hunt has told them he’s committed to “available resources” and he has pledged to live up his obligations.

(AP) — Dedric Lawson transferred to Kansas in part to win championships. He’ll have that chance Saturday night. The former Memphis standout scored 24 points and the No. 17 Jayhawks, who failed to win a share of the Big 12 regular-season title for the first time in 15 years, roared into the conference tournament title game with an 88-74 victory over West Virginia on Friday night. “It wasn’t our best game,” Lawson said, “but looking forward to going out there and playing for a champion- Charlie Riedel | AP Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell isn’t following the conventional route for a big league manager. His pitching coach has pitchers playing soccer for conditioning, but the most unusual move is allowing reliever Michael Lorenzen to both pitch and play center field during the same game. Reds’ David Bell willing to consider non-traditional moves Lorenzen to both pitch and play center field — Lorenzen’s position in college — during the same game. Lorenzen has lobbied for the dual role, which is unusual in the major leagues. Lorenzen is getting into condition by chasing fly balls in the outfield during batting practice. “It’s pretty cool they are letting me do this,” Lorenzen said. Kyle Farmer, drafted as a catcher, has played shortstop. Bell intends to use infielder Connor Joe as a catcher, a position Joe hasn’t played since college. Bell has used extreme shifts that employ four outfielders and leave one side of the infield open. Reds players have welcomed the changes, especially the individually tailored plans for getting players ready. “They’re asking us how we feel and what we need physically to continue to get better,” reliever Jared Hughes said. “If guys need a day or if they need extra work, there is a really good system of communication.” After four straight seasons of at least 94 losses, the Reds are ready to consider different approaches. “Why not try new stuff?” second baseman Scooter Gennett said. “We have the ability to do it. I think Lorenzen should definitely be out there. I think he’s nothing but prove that he can hit, that he can throw. He can do it all.” Bell’s willingness to try new things also fits with a trend of nontraditional methods. “The game gets better when people think outside the box because you push the limits of what the game could be,” Hughes said. “They are looking at how we can get better and take that extra step. If you get 2 percent better over 162 games, that’s three extra wins and that could be the difference.” TENGOLIA & SALISBURY LAW GROUP, LLC IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH OR DIED FROM LUNG CANCER CONTACT US TODAY 0DUFK���VW�������DW�����SP It’s going to make for a great game.” The 10th-seeded Mountaineers (14-20) led much of the first half and hung tough early in the second, but three games in three days finally caught up to them. Tough wins over Oklahoma and No. 8 Texas Tech left them with tired legs — probably minds, too — and the Jayhawks eventually went on a 13-2 run midway through the second half to seize control. The lead reached 20 with 7 1/2 minutes to go, and the Jayhawks cruised the rest of the way. +ROLGD\�,QQ ����6HFRQG�6WUHHW 3RUWVPRXWK��2+������ 0DU\�3DW�%DUWRV]HN� &LQFLQQDWL��2+ OH-70104761 GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — David Bell used a relief pitcher in center field and a catcher at shortstop, showing a willingness to try unusual strategies in his first spring training as Cincinnati Reds manager. “This whole camp has been different,” starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani said. Bell, the third generation of a prominent Reds baseball family, has allowed his coaching staff to make significant changes. Pitching coach Derek Johnson, on Milwaukee’s staff the previous three seasons, has pitchers playing soccer as part of their conditioning drills instead of running foul-pole to foul-pole. “You can see them having fun and get their conditioning in,” Bell said. Johnson also has his staff throwing more frequently, though fewer pitches each time. One of the most notable moves by Bell is allowing reliever Michael ship. Looking forward to going out there and winning something meaningful.” Quentin Grimes added 18 points before leaving late with cramps, Devon Dotson had 13 and Marcus Garrett 11 for the third-seeded and reigning champion Jayhawks (25-8). They advanced to the final for the third time in four years and will face fifth-seeded Iowa State. “We need to learn how to close something out, and we get that opportunity tomorrow,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self said. “They have the same opportunity. 3(3������ �������������� �‡��UPV(GXFDWLRQ�FRP� CONTACT US FOR A FREE Even if you are or have been a smoker or aren’t sure CONSULTATION WE ARE READY how or when you became TO HELP! exposed to asbestos. 1-833-522-6237 or 1-740-992-6368 2019 Cutest Pet =]\Īh]b\ ;WbYZf Contest Submission March 8 thru March 22 Voting will be March 23 thru April 5 Mohamed Alsharedi, MD Oncology & General Hematology Pleasant Valley Hospital is fighting cancer for you and the ones you love through our partnership with the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center, where we are making leading- Send in your Cutest Pet Photo for Cash Prizes! edge cancer care accessible right here at home.
