How old is it? What does it look like? According to a new study released by The Ohio Alliance for Innovation in Population Health (The Alliance), its identity is increasingly comprised of individuals both young and old, with suicide rates rising more than 36 percent for those ages 20 to 29 and approximately 57 percent for those aged 60 or older in the last 10 years. The data also revealed a troubling reality unfolding across Appalachian Ohio, which is home to nine of Ohio’s 10 counties with the highest suicide rates per 100,000 population over the past 10 years. Meigs County experienced the highest suicide rate in the state at 21.5 followed by Jackson County (19.9) and Hocking County (19.7). Such trends are disturbing to mental health organizations across Ohio, including the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. “The data in this report is very relevant A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS The next chapter Meigs County experienced the highest suicide rate in the state at 21.5 followed by Jackson County (19.9) and Hocking County (19.7). to the work of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services,” said Lori Criss, director of the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. “Suicide is a serious public health issue.

The group, which formed a few years ago, created by-laws and a membership form. The goal is to create a 501c3 in hopes of receiving more funding in the future. In attendance at the meeting was the coordinator of a new recovery fitness program in Athens. Power Clean Recovery Program emphasizes on exercise and nutrition to help addicts in the recovery process. The trial sessions are underway and the plan is to start a 12-week course on June 3. Participants will exercise three days per week at WellWorks at Ohio University. They will receive clothing, fruits and vegetables and two bus tickets — one to get there and one to get back in two days. For more information on this recovery program, call Rick Weber at 740-742-2888. Employees from the U.S. Census Bureau spoke to the committee about encouraging everyone to fill out the upcoming census in 2020. According to the representative, Meigs County has a “predicted low response.” The committee was told that if more people completed the census forms, whether online, by telephone or in paper form, the county might receive more grant money. The director of the future C.C. Baker Center for domestic violence spoke to the committee asking for connections to other organizations, churches, or individuation to share her presentation with them. The center is also looking for board members. For more information, call Victoria Baker-Willford at 740-444-2118. The GHM committee updated the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) grant information and progress. The five priorities areas — substance abuse, workforce, maternal and child, healthy behaviors, and chronic disease — all believe they are making progress to better the community. The quick reference guide was updated and can be found on the Meigs County Health Department’s website. The guide includes phone number for nearly any health-related provider.

The Marietta Times reports 56-year-old Kevin Rings resigned as Washington County prosecutor Thursday before sentencing. A jury convicted him last month of coercion for helping the woman, who was involved in criminal cases as a defendant and victim, in exchange for sex. Defense attorney Dennis McNamara asked Visiting Judge Patricia Cosgrove to allow Rings to remain free while an appeal is filed. Cosgrove instead ordered Rings to be jailed immediately. She also denied McNamara’s request that Rings serve his time outside Washington County to avoid being jailed with inmates he’s prosecuted. Cosgrove told Rings “he gave shame to every prosecuting attorney in Ohio.” Jobless rate dips in April COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell slightly from March to April.

In 1962, actress Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday to You” to President John F. Kennedy during a Democratic fundraiser at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

In 2006, A key U.N. panel joined European and United Nations leaders in urging the Bush administration to close its prison in Guantanamo Bay, saying the indefinite detention of terror suspects there violated the world’s ban on torture. In 2017, former U.S. Rep.

THEIR VIEW Take heed ‘Dear Student’ Dear Student, This school year seemed to go by more quickly than all of the others. The older you get, the more you’ll realize that yourself. I’d always expected teaching to get easier as I gained another year’s worth of experience, but, at least for me, that’s not been the case. Teaching is like an assembly line. I start the year—every year—with the goal of working on a product, molding it, sharpening it, and making sure it’s ready to be passed on to the next worker. Throughout the entire process, I know I’ll never get to see the finished product. The very best of them never get finished. They keep growing and changing, learning and reflecting as time continues to pass. Right now, you’re all young; that’s both a blessing and a curse. It’s a curse because you’re inexperienced, and because of that, it’s easy to be short-sighted.

THEIR VIEW Ohio nurses, patients need our support Every day, nurses in Ohio communities work long hours doing vital work in our health care system, keeping patients safe and providing the highest quality of care. Yet too often, nurses are forced to do the impossible, caring for more patients than they have the time or capacity to manage. That’s why I’m reintroducing the Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act, to set a national minimum nurse-to-patient staffing requirement. Right now, there’s no concrete and enforceable rule for minimum staff- stretched thin, caring levels at hospiing for too many tals.

Rick Hodges, director of The Alliance, said that 526,501 years of life expectancy was lost in Ohio between 2008-2017 due to suicide. He noted that this sobering figure is largely attributed to the increase in suicide rates of individuals 29 years of age and younger. “The Alliance’s research indicates that the suicide rate within our state’s younger population (29 and younger) has increased by 33 percent since 2008,” Hodges said. “Our ultimate hope is that this study will help to inform state- and community-level discussions surrounding how the risk of suicide can be reduced in Ohio and beyond.” Hodges also referenced a June 2018 Alliance study that calculated more than 500,000 years of life were lost in Ohio between 2010 and 2016 due to opioid overdose. Orman Hall, executive in residence for CHSP and author of the study, said that The Alliance’s research revealed a total of 15,246 suicide fatalities in Ohio between 2008-17, an overall increase of approximately 24 percent per 100,000. White individuals who reside in economically distressed Appalachian communities continue to exhibit the highest suicide rate in Ohio. Hall emphasized that the intent of The Alliance’s study was not to serve as an exhaustive study of cause and effect, but rather to analyze the scope of suicide fatalities and to identify key demographic characteristics of decedents for this serious and growing problem. Although the highest suicide rates were experienced in Ohio’s Appalachian region during the 10-year period that was studied, it is important to note that both rural and suburban areas experienced the greatest increase in the rate of suicides per 100,000 population. Cuyahoga (1,461) and Franklin (1,408) counties were home to the highest total number of suicide fatalities in the study. Tony Coder, director of the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation (OSPF), reported that OSPF trains as many community members and healthcare providers as they possibly can across the state. He said collaborative partnerships with various agencies are in effect or are being built to create a state suicide strategy with the goal of reducing suicide attempts and death. Ohio University College of Health Sciences and Professions Dean Randy Leite shared that the University is doing its part to train the nation’s next generation of mental health professionals. “Clinicians often encounter mental health clients experiencing crisis; such distress can increase a person’s risk of suicide,” Leite said. “Our college is dedicated to educating the best healthcare professionals in the country and doing everything within our power to help alleviate this serious and growing problem. It is time we recognize suicide as the serious public health issue it is and do all we can to prepare future health and human service professionals to respond to those who may be at risk.” Area and state officials have taken notice of the University’s training and outreach efforts. “We cannot thank Ohio University and The Alliance enough for taking the time and resources to produce such a stellar report,” Coder said. “It brings a lot of concern about the rise in suicides over the decade, and it points that the state of Ohio needs to put resources and efforts into solving this public health crisis.” Joan Englund, executive director of the Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Advocacy Coalition, said that The Alliance’s most recent study shines an important light on a growing need for suicide treatment and prevention services. “Local, state, and federal decisions and actions can reduce the growing number of Ohio suicides. In order to help change the current upward trajectory, all Ohioans must have timely access to appropriate mental health and substance use disorder prevention, treatment and support services,” Englund said. “This report provides public officials and other community leaders with critical data that can be used to inform strategic and impactful policymaking, support the system cate File and the Centers for Disease Control. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, warning signs may include threats or comments about suicide, increased alcohol and drug use, aggressive behavior, social withdrawal, dramatic mood swings, talking, writing or thinking about death and impulsive or reckless behavior. If you or someone you know are having thoughts of suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Ohio University students, faculty or staff can participate in the Bobcats Who Care training to develop knowledge about suicide and suicide prevention including being able to recognize and offer support for someone feeling depressed, lonely or misunderstood and provide referrals to professional resources.

Baird first gave his speech, thanking “everyone that helped get us here today” on behalf of himself and his classmates, whom he also thanked, giving them some advice on not giving up. “Life is not going to go according to plan and that’s OK because as long as you can persevere through the tough, unexpected and confusing times, the times when you don’t get the job you want, the times when you fail a test you needed to pass, and you keep your head high and you keep going forward, life tends to work out. Maybe not in the way you wanted it to at the time, and almost surely not the way you envisioned it, but it does tend to work out in its own way…so never give up, never quit. If you stay the course, things will be how they should be.” Montgomery then addressed his classmates and those gathered for commencement, also thanking family, friends and teachers for their support. “I believe we were all born with a purpose and a passion for something great,” he said. “Class of 2019, I want us to find our purpose in this life and prepare for where it can take us.” Montgomery continued, “I want to challenge gates at the pavilion on the grounds at the FAC open at 6 p.m., The music will begin at 6:30 p.m. with food available for purchase from 6-7:30 p.m. along with a cash bar.

I hope we all find careers that will challenge us and bring us joy. Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Montgomery then spoke about helping others, and how he considered this “the greatest joy.” He added, “anyone who has been able to positively impact another individual’s life can testify to the joy that is derived from it.” In closing, he told the Class of 2019: “By waking up this morning we were given the opportunity to do something great. Something that can make a difference.” Donley then presented the Class of 2019 to Wright, with Assistant Principal Robert Neal reading the names of the 131 graduates.

See DISTRICTS | 2B Report finds Ohio State doc abused 177, officials were aware COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A now-dead Ohio State team doctor sexually abused at least 177 male students over nearly two decades, and university officials knew what was going on and did little to stop him, according to an investigative report released by the school Friday. Dr. Richard Strauss groped or ogled young men from 1979 to 1997 — nearly his entire time at Ohio State — while treating athletes from at least 16 sports and working at the student health center and his off-campus clinic, investigators from a law firm hired by the university found. The report on Strauss, who took his life in 2005, could cost Ohio State dearly by corroborating the lawsuits brought against it by a multitude of victims. The findings put Strauss in a league with gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar of Michigan State University, who was accused of molesting at least 250 women and girls and is serving what amounts to a life sentence. Michigan State ultimately agreed to a $500 million settlement with his victims. In issuing the report, Ohio State President Michael Drake offered “profound regret and sincere apologies to each person who endured Strauss’ abuse.” He called it a “fundamental failure” of the institution and thanked victims for their courage. Many of Strauss’ accusers who have spoken publicly said they were masturbated or otherwise touched inappropriately during physical exams or leered at in the locker rooms. Many told investigators that they thought his behavior was an “open secret” and that they believed their coaches, trainers and other team doctors knew about it. The students described the examinations as being “hazed” or going through a “rite of passage.” Athletes joked about Strauss’ behavior, See REPORT | 2B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Monday, May 20 Baseball (1) Eastern vs. (4) Huntington at VA Memorial, 5 p.m. Huntington St. Joe at Wahama, 6 p.m. Point Pleasant at Scott, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 21 Baseball Wahama at Huntington St. Joe, 6 p.m. Scott at Point Pleasant, 6:30 p.m. (2) Southern vs. (3) Green at VA Memorial, 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 22 Baseball EHS-HHS winner vs. Waterford-Whiteoak winner at VA Memorial, 5 p.m. Huntington St. Joe at Wahama (if needed), 6 p.m. Point Pleasant at Scott (if needed), 6:30 p.m. SHS-GHS winner vs. Clay-S.

White Falcons win Class A Region IV, Section 1 title Wahama outlasts Yellow Jackets, 4-3 in eight innings By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com MASON, W.Va. — What goes around, comes around. The Wahama baseball team — which was ousted from 2018 postseason in an extra-innings game at Williamstown — took its revenge in the Class A Region IV, Section 1 final on Thursday at Claflin Stadium, as the top-seeded White Falcons defeated the No. 2 seed Yellow Jackets by a 4-3 count in eight innings. Wahama (24-6) — which fell to the Maroon and Gold by an 11-1 tally just 24 hours earlier — broke Thursday’s scoreless tie in the bottom of the third inning, as Tanner Smith singled home David Hendrick. Williamstown (22-10) took a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning, however, combining three hits and two walks in the frame. The guests didn’t advance beyond second base for the remainder of the contest. The hosts stranded a runner on third base in the fourth frame, but got a run back in the fifth, as Jonathan Frye scored on a two-out infield single from Ethyn Barnitz. Wahama tied the game at three in the home half of the sixth inning, as Ethan VanMatre scored on a Brayden Davenport sac-fly. Wahama senior Ethan VanMatre slides in for the game-tying run behind Williamstown catcher Ethan Tawney, during the White Falcons’ 4-3 victory on Thursday in Mason, W.Va. After leaving a runner on second base in the bottom of the seventh, the White Falcons began the home half of the eighth with Antonio Serevicz drawing a walk and Tyler Bumgarner getting hit by a pitch. After the first out of the inning, Cooper Peters grounded a ball up the middle. The first and only error of the game was made on the grounder, allowing Serevicz to score the game-winning run from second. Following the sectional title victory, second-year White Falcons head coach Billy Zuspan talked about the resiliency his club has shown all-season, and the motivation that came from they way the 2018 campaign ended. “We’ve had games this year where we’ve had to hold on for dear life with a one-run lead, last Thursday being one of them, and we’ve had games where we’ve had to come from behind. This team has so much heart and determination to continue to play baseball,” Zuspan said. “It’s been a long time, a whole year, since we were one strike away and it all slipped away in the bottom of the 10th. It was a tough heart-break, and it’s been a motivation. We’ve kept that in the back of our mind, thinking we were that close and we don’t want to let it slip away again. Tonight it looked like there were times that it might, but we never quit.” Barnitz was the winning pitcher of record in 2.2 shut out innings of hitless relief for Wahama, striking out one batter and walking two. Serevicz tossed the first 5.1 frames for the victors, striking out nine batters and giving up three earned runs on five hits, four walks and two hit batters. Coach Zuspan commended both of his pitchers for keeping the White Falcons in the game on the mound, while also making key offensive contributions. “Antonio Serevicz is one of our senior leaders,” Zuspan said. “I felt good with him on the mound tonight, he pitched a great game, kept us in the ball game. Our bats weren’t always there, we had some opportunities, but we could never get the big hits we needed. But, he kept us in the ball game, and then right there at the end, he said ‘let me run.’ I said ‘you’re the senior, you’ve got it,’ and to make that good headsup play to get in there on that bobbled ball was just absolutely great. “We follow these seniors, they’re our rock, we rally behind them, but you know, we had a freshman come in there at the end and he showed a lot of character and a lot of poise on the mound to keep us in the game. Ethyn also had a big hit to bring us within one.” Ryan Brown took the loss in relief for the guests, allowing an unearned run on a walk and a hit batter without recording an out. John Barkley pitched the first seven frames for Williamstown, allowing three See FALCONS | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, May 19, 2019 Report From page 1B referring to him with nicknames like “Dr. Jelly Paws.” The abuse took place at various locations across campus, including medical examining rooms, locker rooms, showers and saunas. The investigation found that Strauss, among other things, forced student patients to strip naked, purportedly to “assess” their conditions, or lured them into intimate situations by setting up bogus “medical studies.” The report concluded that Ohio State personnel knew of complaints and concerns about Strauss’ conduct as early as 1979 but failed for years to investigate or take meaningful action. At least 50 members of the athletic department staff, including many coaches, corroborated victims’ accounts of Strauss’ abuse, the report said. But students’ allegations never left the department or the health center until 1996. At that point, Strauss was investigated and let go as a team doctor and physician at the health center but was allowed to retain his tenured faculty position. Investigators said Strauss set up an offcampus clinic within months, receiving assurances from the associate vice president of health sciences and academic affairs that “there would be no issue” with him engaging in part-time private practice while he was on Ohio State’s faculty. The abuse continued there. He continued to plead for his job back as an on-campus doctor, finally going to thenPresident Gordon Gee with a letter in 1997. His pleas were rejected, at which point Strauss was allowed to retire with emeritus status, a mark of distinguished service. Gee, now president of West Virginia University, said Friday that he has no recollection of Strauss or the allegations against him. In the wake of the report, some of Strauss’ victims called on the university to take responsibility for its inaction and the harm inflicted by the doctor. “Dreams were broken, relationships with loved ones were damaged, and the harm now carries over to our children as many of us have become so overprotec- tive that it strains the relationship with our kids,” Kent Kilgore said in a statement. Steve Estey, an attorney for some of the former students who are suing, said Ohio State should take care of the victims, as it promised six months ago. “We hope that the report will force OSU to take responsibility for its failure to protect young students,” he said. “If OSU refuses to take responsibility, we will continue with civil litigation and put this in front of a jury for 12 people to judge their actions.” No one has publicly defended Strauss, though family members have said they were shocked by the allegations. At least one of the students, a 14-year-old high school wrestler at the time of Strauss’ abuse, told investigators Strauss molested other minors during the course of the doctor’s work with high schools and an Ohio State wrestling camp. No other such accounts were included in unredacted portions of the report. Before Friday’s release, his accusers had alleged more than 20 school officials and staff members, including two athletic directors and a coach who is now an Ohio congressman , were aware of concerns about Strauss but didn’t stop him. The congressman, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, was not mentioned by name in the report. A spokesman for Jordan, who was an assistant wrestling coach from 1987 to 1995, said the report showed the congressman did not know about the abuse. The lawsuits against Ohio State are headed for mediation . They seek unspecified damages. Separately, the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is examining whether Ohio State responded promptly and fairly to students’ complaints. The department could cut the university’s federal funding if it is found to have violated civil rights protections. Ohio State alumni have said they complained about Strauss as early as the late 1970s, and the university had at least one documented complaint from 1995. Ohio State Medical Board records indicate the university reported Strauss to the board at some point but include no details. The board said it never disciplined him. 6th annual Meigs Memorial Challenge coming Staff Report ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The sixth annual Meigs Memorial Track and Field Challenge is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 6, at Farmers Bank Stadium on the campus of Meigs High School. The yearly event is held as a fundraiser on behalf of the Dennis Boggs/Adam Grim Scholarship fund that awards scholarships to two graduating Meigs High School athletes. A total of 15 events are held at the meet, which technically kicks off with the Laugh Til The End 5K run/walk at 8:30 a.m. There are 10 track events and four field competitions as well, which include the 4x800m relay, 110m hurdles, 100m dash, 4x200m relay, 1600m run, 4x100m relay, 400m dash, 800m run, 200m dash, 4x400m relay, discus, long jump, high jump and shot put. Submitted photo A picture from the 2018 Meigs Memorial Track and Field Challenge held at Farmers Bank Stadium on the campus of Meigs High School. Justin Roush, tournament director of the Meigs Memorial Track and Field Challenge, says he’s hoping this year’s turnout will be the biggest yet — for a variety of reasons. “We’re hoping to grow this event because we want to look at expanding what we are currently doing, maybe see if we can hand out more than two scholarships every year or even help recipients longer into their education,” Roush said. “At the same time, track and field is a sport that a lot of kids aren’t exposed to at a younger age. It’s a family-oriented event in the spirit of competition, and it all benefits a good cause in the end. “The neat thing is you can compete against your brother or your dad, or your best friend from high school or childhood. It’s the type of competition that you don’t mind losing in … and it’s even better if you win. It’s all in fun, and Sheridan for eighth place with five points.

(AP) — Tiger Woods gave a hop with his left leg and prepared to pump his fist as his birdie putt rolled toward the 17th hole in the PGA Championship on Friday. Then the ball kept on rolling. Down came his leg. A groan rose from the crowd. And Woods was all but done for the week. The Masters champion shot a 3-over 73 at Bethpage Black in the second round to finish at 5 over for 36 holes and miss the cut by one stroke. It’s the first time Woods has missed the cut at a major in the same year he won a major since 2006. “You know,” he told reporters afterward, “I’m the Masters champion and 43 years old and that’s a pretty good accomplishment.” Woods said he had not been feeling well since winning at Augusta National last month — his 15th major tournament victory, but his first since 2008. So he decided to rest to get ready for the PGA, which moved up on the calendar to May this year for the first time since 1949. “It’s a nice problem to have,” Woods said. “I’ve enjoyed being the Masters champion again, and the PGA was a quick turnaround, and unfortunately I just didn’t play well. As I said, I didn’t do all the little things I need to do correctly to post good scores and put myself in position to shoot good scores.” Asked if he might have benefited from playing more between the majors, Woods alluded to an illness that kept him from competing. “Just don’t feel well and just not able to do it,” he said. “Thought resting would be better, so I would have energy to play.” But he needed more than energy to make it to the weekend on the punishing par-70, 7,459-yard course. After shooting a 72 in the opening round — already nine strokes off the lead — he hit just three fairways on Friday, his fewest at a PGA since the final round in 2010. It started on his very first hole, when he sent his drive into the gallery far to the left of the fairway, causing fans to part and clear a path for his approach to the green. He went into the greenside bunker but got up-anddown from about 5 feet to save par. He wasn’t so lucky on the second, when he went into the rough on the right and took the safe way out by chipping onto the fairway. The bogey put him at 3 over and flirting with the cut line for the first time. He found some safety with an 18-foot putt for birdie on the sixth hole, then gave it right back with a three-putt from 6 feet on the seventh. A birdie on No. 9 — thanks to a 39-foot putt — gave him another chance to make the weekend. Then came three straight bogeys to start the back nine, followed by a birdie that left him at 4 over. The projected cut line moved to 4 over while he was standing on the 14th green, but he missed a 12-foot par putt and fell to 5 under, then failed to make up any ground on the way in. After putting out on No. 18, he shook hands with playing partner Brooks Koepka, who was 5 under on Friday and 12 under for 36 holes. The defending champion will take a seven-stroke lead into the weekend as he tries to win his fourth major in two years, but the fans below chanted “Tiger!” as the players walked across the bridge to the clubhouse. Those with tickets to the third and fourth round won’t get a chance to cheer for him. Woods will try again for his 16th major victory at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in June. The British Open is a month later at Royal Portrush. He turns 44 in December. “There’s no reason why I can’t get up to speed again and crank it back up,” Woods said. “I’ve got to start feeling a little bit better first before that happens. We’ll do that first and then start cranking it back up again.” Binnington sparkles again, Blues top Sharks to tie series ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jordan Binnington made save after save to pull off yet another playoff victory — and make some team history — for the Blues. The rookie goalie stopped 29 shots to set a franchise record with his 10th postseason win this year and St. Louis edged the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Friday night to even the Western Conference final at two games apiece. “He’s been dynamite back there for us all year and his first game he came in and had a goose egg and just took over from there,” Blues defenseman Colton Parayko said of Binnington. “It’s been fun to watch. “He’s just doing his thing.” Binnington moved past Brian Elliott (2016) and Roman Turek (2001) for the most wins by a Blues goalie in a single playoffs. He is the 10th rookie netminder to win at least 10 games in a single postseason in league history. “It’s a great honor,” Binnington said. “Obviously, I’m having a lot of fun back here playing with this team. They’re doing a great job. They limited chances tonight. They played a complete game and I just tried to do my job.” Tyler Bozak and Ivan Barbashev scored in the first period for the Blues, giving Binnington all the scoring he needed. Tomas Hertl scored for the Sharks, and Martin Jones made 20 saves. Game 5 is in San Jose on Sunday. Barbashev gave the Blues a quick lead when his shot deflected off of Gustav Nyquist’s stick and into the net just 35 seconds in. Alexander Steen’s hip check of Brent Burns behind the Sharks’ net created a turnover that led to Barbashev’s first career playoff goal. Kevin Durant to miss Games 3, 4 of Western Conference finals OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Warriors star Kevin Durant will miss the upcoming Games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference finals in Portland as he continues to recover from a strained right calf, and the timing of his next examination by doctors likely means he would not return until the NBA Finals if Golden State advances. Durant was re-evaluated Thursday before Golden State’s 114-111 Game 2 win in of the best-of-seven series with the Trail Blazers that put the Warriors up 2-0. Durant is not ready for on-court work — a necessary step before the twotime reigning NBA Finals MVP can return to game action. He will be re-examined in another week. The Warriors said Durant “has shown good progress since beginning his rehabilitation program one week ago. At this point, Durant is not ready to advance to on-court work.” “There’s no mental adjustment, you just play. You go out there with what you have,” coach Steve Kerr said. “This is our third game, 3 ½ games really, without him. We’re just trying to hold down the fort. Hopefully he continues to progress. And he has made progress but it’s a little more serious than we thought at the very beginning, so we’ll see how it all goes. He’s in there all day long getting treatment. Hopefully he’ll be back at some point.” Durant’s 34.2 points per game lead all postseason scorers. He strained his right calf during the third quarter of Game 5 of the conference semifinals against the Rockets last Wednesday and didn’t travel to Houston for the Warriors’ Game 6 clincher. He then sat out Game 1 against Portland on Tuesday and again Thursday as Stephen Curry took on a greater scoring load. “He’s handled it great. He’s vocal. Still being a leader. Staying in all of our ears. Vocal during film,” said Quinn Cook, a reserve Warriors guard and close friend of Durant. “I know he’s been putting in extra work. I know he’s excited to get back. We can’t wait to have him back.” Andrew Bogut has started in Durant’s place the past three games. “With him on the court, there’s just another great offensive player, and so when you put him out there with Steph and Klay (Thompson), it’s really challenging from a defensive standpoint. And his versatility in his offense,” Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. “When you take him out of it, I think they do play a different style. Certainly Curry gets more involved, I think Klay gets more involved, because they need to. And so the focus or emphasis on those two guys probably becomes a little bit more.” In addition, Golden State center DeMarcus Cousins will be re-evaluated again in a week as he works back from a strained left quadriceps muscle sustained in Game 2 of the first round against the Clippers on April 15 — just his second career playoff game. Cousins has begun doing extensive oncourt work such as running, shooting and agility moves, “but is still not ready for live action,” the Warriors said. Morry Gash | AP Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo tries to drive past Toronto Raptors’ Pascal Siakam during the first half of Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals Friday in Milwaukee. the Bucks won 125-103 to take a 2-0 lead in the series. Bucks top Raptors 125-103 for 2-0 East finals lead MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo started the game with an emphatic dunk. The next possession, a sprawling block to deny Marc Gasol. The next possession, another dunk. The tone was set. And it never changed. The Eastern Conference doesn’t belong to Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks — yet. But they’re two wins away, after Antetokounmpo had 30 points and 17 rebounds, Ersan Ilyasova came off the bench to add 17 points and the Bucks never trailed on the way to a 125-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night and a 2-0 lead in the East finals. “He plays so hard, he lays it all on the line, every time,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “It was a great start for us. I think everybody fed off of Giannis and how he started the game.” How he finished, too. Antetokounmpo scored 11 points in the fourth for the Bucks, who wound up with six players in double figures — three of them reserves. Nikola Mirotic scored 15, Malcolm Brogdon had 14, George Hill 13 and Khris Middleton 12. “We really rely on each other … especially the bench,” Ilyasova said. “The starting five set the tone.” Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points for Toronto, which gave up the game’s first nine points, never led and trailed by double digits for the final 39 minutes. Kyle Lowry scored 15 and Norman Powell had 14 for the Raptors. “We didn’t do much well tonight, obviously,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. Game 3 is Sunday in Toronto. “We get to go back home and protect our home court, like they did these last two games,” Lowry said. “We’ve got a chance to go home, protect home court and do what we’re supposed to do.” Milwaukee, an NBAbest 60-22 record during the regular season, became the 16th team to start a postseason with at least 10 victories in its first 11 games. Only three teams — the 1989 Los Angeles Lakers, the 2001 Lakers and the 2017 Golden State Warriors — opened the playoffs 11-0. The Bucks led by as many as 28, before Toronto did just enough chipping away to keep some semblance of hope. Eventually, Antetok- ounmpo decided enough was enough. With 5:51 left to play Antetokounmpo backed Leonard down on the block, spun back toward the center of the lane, scored while getting hit and starting a threepoint play. He yelled to the crowd and punched the air. The knockout blow was landed, and the Bucks are two wins from their first NBA Finals berth in 45 years. “At times, I forget that I have to stay aggressive,” Antetokounmpo said. Not in that moment, he didn’t. Aggression wasn’t an issue for the Bucks at any point. Milwaukee’s lead was 35-21 after the first, 64-39 at the half. It was the first time Toronto had been outscored by 10 or more points in each of a game’s first two quarters since May 25, 2016, against Cleveland and the 25-point halftime hole was, by far, the Raptors’ worst of the season. They trailed Houston 55-37 on March 5. “The beginning kind of set us in a real bad spot,” Gasol said. “We couldn’t get a grip of the game early on.” Toronto was down 21 when Lowry got his third foul with 1:27 left until the break. The Raptors left Lowry in; he wound up getting his fourth foul while battling Mirotic for a rebound 24 seconds later and let the referees have an earful as he headed to the bench. Another roll of the dice didn’t pay off, either: Raptors forward Pascal Siakam got his fourth shortly after halftime, then got his fifth with 9:26 left in the third. “Give them credit,” Siakam said. “They came with a lot of intensity.” Antetokounmpo started the second half with a three-point play, pushing the lead to 28. That’s when Toronto found a bit of a groove. The Raptors outscored Milwaukee 31-16 over the next nine minutes, getting within 83-70 on a 3-pointer by Fred VanVleet. But a quick flurry by the Bucks restored order — Brogdon rebounded his own miss and scored, then set up George Hill for a score in transition, and Hill scored again off a Raptors turnover a few seconds later. Just like that, the lead was back up to 19, and it was 95-78 going into the fourth. “We came out, had a couple defensive stops that led to some transition baskets,” Hill said. “And we ran from there.” �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, May 19, 2019 5 (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Best Deal New & Used MARK PORTER FORD Home of the Car Fairy OH-70004516 OH-70116758 www.markporterauto.com (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Amy Carter LEGALS (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN EMPLOYMENT REAL ESTATE ANIMALS Product Specialist �� ���� �������!�������������� �� ���� ��� ��!� ��� � � �� ����� ���� � � amycarter@markporterauto.com 0RELOH 3RZHU :DVKLQJ 7UHH 6HUYLFH /DZQ /DQGVFDSH ������������ ROGERS BASEMENT WATERPROOFING Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee Established 1975 %DVHPHQW :DOOV %UDFHG +XQGUHGV 2I /RFDO 5HIHUHQFHV /LFHQVHG� %RQGHG ,QVXUHG FREE ESTIMATES �� +RXUV Legals 0RUJDQ 7RZQVKLS ZLOO KROG VSHFLDO PHHWLQJV ������� DQG ������ DW � DP� WR JR RYHU PLQXWHV RI PHHWLQJV DQG WUDFWRU SXUFKDVH DQG EXGJHW ��������������� SERVICES Automotive :DQWHG WR %X\ -XQN &DUV DW UHDVRQDEOH UDWH ������������ Land Services BRYANT FARM & LAWN CARE, LLC.

(AP) — Boston’s top line kept finding ways to score, especially on the power play. With a chance to clinch another series, Tuukka Rask was perfect — again. Rask posted his seventh career playoff shutout, and the Bruins swept the Carolina Hurricanes out of the Eastern Conference final, winning 4-0 on Thursday night to reach their third Stanley Cup Final in nine years. “Everyone in the room wanted to be at their best,” forward Brad Marchand said, “and everyone was at their best tonight.” Rask made 24 saves in his second straight series-clinching shutout. Patrice Bergeron scored two goals, David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists and Marchand added an empty-netter. Both Bergeron and Pastrnak scored on secondperiod power plays. The Bruins won their seventh straight postseason game — their longest playoff winning streak in nearly half a century — to return to the Cup final after winning in 2011 and losing to Chicago two years later. “It’s so difficult to advance in the playoffs, let alone make it to the final,” said Rask, the backup to Conn Smythe Trophy winner Tim Thomas in 2011. “We need to really enjoy this but realize we have a lot of work to do.” On its longest postseason win streak since reeling off nine straight in 1972, Boston earned a break before taking on the West winner. San Jose leads its series with St. Louis 2-1 heading into Game 4 Friday night. The Bruins won this one without captain Zdeno Chara, who was scratched with an unspecified injury and is day to day, ending a run of 98 consecutive playoff games for the hulking 42-year-old veteran that dated to 2011. Chara joined his teammates on the ice for the post-series handshake line with Carolina, and while coach Bruce Cassidy declined to elaborate on the nature of Chara’s injury, he did say he’s expected back for the start of the Cup final. Curtis McElhinney made 19 saves for the Hurricanes, whose first playoff appearance since 2009 ended precisely the same way their previous postseason trip did — by being swept in the East final. “Listen, the tank’s been low for a long time,” captain Justin Williams said. “It’s been running on adrenaline and sheer will. It’s always tough to swallow when the season ends, just abruptly like that. It’s like you’re cut real quick. And you’ve got to go home.” Carolina got this far by sweeping the New York Islanders in Round 2. Not that the extra rest time helped the Hurricanes, or anyone else in these playoffs: No team that swept its opponent has won its next series. After outscoring them 17-5 in four games, Boston no doubt wants to halt that trend — especially with the sport’s biggest prize on the line. Special teams drove this series, with the Bruins scoring seven power-play goals in the four games while the Hurricanes had five during their entire 15-game postseason run. Boston had at least one powerplay goal in every game The closest to the pin winners were Phil Burgess on the ninth hole, and Jimmy Gress on No. 14. The current top-10 standings are as follows: Charlie Hargraves (93.0), Kenny Pridemore (91.0), Carl Stone (79.5), Rich Mabe (74.0), Rex Young (73.0), Albert Durst (72.0), Chuck Stanley Sr. (71.0), Doug Hendrixson (68.5), Cliff Rice (66.5) and Paul Maynard (57.0). % OFF Jewelry OH-70123134 MASON, W.Va. — With six weeks remaining in the first half of play, Charlie Hargraves, of New Haven, holds the lead in the senior men’s golf league at Riverside Golf Club in Mason County. Hargraves, who has a total of 93, has a twopoint edge over current runner-up Kenny Pridemore. A total of 59 players were on hand Tuesday, making up 14 four-man teams and one trio. The low score of the day was a 10-under par 60, fired by the quartet of Pridemore, Rich Mabe, Randall Thornhill and Craig Harrison. One shot back, there was a tie for second place between the team of Hargraves, Dale Humphrey, Dave Biggs and Chuck Butterworth, and the squad of Tommy Johnson, Albert Durst, Bill Carney and Haskel Jones. With Greg McKegg in the box for goaltender interference, the Bruins scored on another give-and-go involving Pastrnak, who set up Bergeron’s goal with 1:26 left in the second. Rask — who blanked Columbus 3-0 in the decisive sixth game of the previous series — didn’t even face a shot on goal for roughly the first half of the third, and only seven for the entire period. “Tuukka’s been very consistent,” Cassidy said. “Usually, if you’re going to get on a roll, your goaltender’s going to have to win a game for you somewhere along the way or steal one for you. … He can’t have a bad night.” 50 Hargraves leads Riverside senior league Staff Report while Carolina failed to score on its last 13 chances with the man advantage. So it was no surprise that Boston took control with its best-in-the-playoffs power-play unit. Eighteen seconds into a minor on the Hurricanes for having too many men on the ice, Pastrnak finished off a slick give-and-go with Marchand, getting past Calvin de Haan and slipping the puck into an open net at 4:46 of the second. “Everything’s going OK, then we get into that specialty area where that’s obviously a huge advantage for them,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “And they made us pay.” Remodeling Sale ADDITIONAL 10 % OFF Silver Bridge Plaza Delivery, Drive-Thru and Pickup!
