Catholic Church reports rise in sex-abuse By David Crary AP National Writer NEW YORK — Quantifying its vast sex-abuse crisis, the U.S. Roman Catholic Church said Friday that allegations of child sex abuse by clerics more than doubled in its latest 12-month reporting period, and that its spending on victim compensation and child protection surged above $300 million. During the period from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018, 1,385 adults came forward with 1,455 allegations of abuse, according to the annual report of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat of Child and Youth Protection. That was up from 693 allegations in the previous year. The report attributed much of the increase to a victim compensation program implemented in five dioceses in New York state. According to the report, Catholic dioceses and religious orders spent $301.6 million during the reporting period on payments to victims, legal fees and child-protection efforts. That was up 14% from the previous year and double the amount spent in the 2014 fiscal year. The number of allegations is likely to rise further during the current fiscal year, given Jae C. Hong | AP A sexual abuse victim points to the photos of Catholic priests accused of sexual misconduct during a news conference last year. On Friday, the U.S. Catholic Church says that allegations of child sex abuse by clergy more than doubled in its latest 12-month reporting period, and its spending on victim compensation and child protection surged above $300 million. that Catholic dioceses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania have started large compensation programs in the wake of a scathing Pennsylvania grand jury report released in August. The grand jury identified more than 300 priests in six of the state’s dioceses who have been credibly accused of child sexual abuse committed over many decades. Since then, attorneys general in numerous states have set up abuse hotlines and launched investigations, and a growing number of dioceses and Catholic religious orders have released names of priests accused of abuse. “Victims are coming forward now because of real progress by secular authorities,” said the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. “Lawmakers are increasingly getting rid of archaic, predator-friendly laws and 16 attorneys general have launched investigations, so many victims are feeling hopeful.” The advocacy group urged officials in every diocese to turn over sex abuse records to their state attorney general for investigation. The group also said church staff should be instructed to report suspected abuse to secular law enforcement before filing a report internally. According to a survey included in the new annual report, more than 90% of the alleged abusers were already dead or removed from the ministry. Most of the reported abuse occurred between 1960 and 1990, with a peak in the 1970s. Compilation of the annual report entails an audit of Catholic dioceses across the U.S. to assess their compliance with a 2002 charter outlining the church’s child-protection policies. Only one diocese, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, was found noncompliant due to lack of transparency in public communications about child sex abuse cases. Members of the audit team made on-site visits to more than one-third of the 196 U.S. dioceses and found shortcomings in 14% of them that will warrant followup visits. Among the problems detected were poor record-keeping of background-check data, and allowing some clergy, staff and volunteers to have contact with children without undergoing training or background checks. The findings were evidence of “complacency and lack of diligence on the part of some dioceses,” said a letter included in the report from Francesco Cesareo, who chairs a review board created by the bishops in 2002 to monitor sex abuse prevention efforts. �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, June 2, 2019 3A MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS LIVESTOCK REPORT Scoliosis Awareness Month June is Scoliosis Awareness Month.

Sun graduated from the Highway Patrol’s training academy in April. No online court records were available to determine whether Sun has an attorney.

Over the years we’ve mowed both front yards once or twice a week all summer – I should do the math on how many steps that’s been over the years but really don’t want to. The Gary backyards are awkward cul-de-sac Presley Contributing shapes that dive down the hill into the woods. They’ve been mowed less columnist often, generating more sweat and tears than the front yards. Thank goodness Old Toro was a rear-wheel drive model, taking some of the pain out of the hills. Mowing is like meditating. The drone of the lawn mower, the repetition of back-and-forth, the round-and-round walking help the mind to wander. Problems work their way in and you’ve got plenty of time to roll through a menu of solutions, maybe even finding one. Sometimes an earworm pops to the surface, a good one if you’re lucky, and you’ve something to repeat over and over until the lawn is done. A few random, probably inaccurate stats from the internet: Americans spend an average of 70 hours a year doing yard work. About six million gas-powered walk-behind lawn mowers are sold each year. I’m just a drop in the gas tank. Last fall Old Toro lost it. He’d survived holes in his deck, a weakening of adjustment levers, some wheel replacements, some funkiness in his throttle. Now he had only two speeds – stop and whoa. What ailed him was beyond my abilities to fix. I tried to replace him with another major-brand built mower. It turned out to be a bust and lasted all of three hours before its drive mechanism broke. I hauled it back to the big box store for a refund. The season was over. Spring came, grass grew, and replacing Old Toro couldn’t be put off any longer. I stopped by Dr. Mills’ lawnmower sales and repair shop to see if he had any used mowers for sale, and left convinced to buy a new, modern, all-wheel drive Toro. The price was the same as it was at the nearby big box, and it was fully assembled and gassed up. Buying local was an easy decision. New Toro and I have mowed both of the fronts three times so far, and my backyard once. He’s already outlasted last year’s purchase, and only has 27 years and 9 months left to outlast Old Toro. Now it’s up to me to outlast New Toro. Something to think about during the 65 hours of yard work I have left to do this year. Gary Presley is pagination director for AIM Media Midwest.

Their stories are compelling and represent lifetimes of dedication, ingenuity, perseverance, kindness and compassion. “The induction ceremony was very impressive,” Campbell said. “It was both an honor and a humbling experience to be included and I was proud to have Gallia County and Gallipolis recognized. To have several of my friends there meant a lot to me. Also, I greatly appreciated our own State Representative, Ryan Smith, and State Senator, Bob Peterson, coming by to present me with resolutions from both the Ohio House and Senate.” Campbell explained the most memorable part of her day was having her named called, followed by the reading of her biography prior to the presentation of a crystal plaque inscribed with the honor. Despite her long list of accomplishments contained in that biography, Campbell stressed no one gets anywhere alone. “Everything is possible because other people help you and open doors for you,” she said. Though many know who Campbell is, when asked what would be something few know about her, she paused in thought, before saying, “I’ve always been blessed..this is just one blessing that means so much to me. It is really special at this point in my life.” This year’s inductees range in age from 70 to 92. With their additions, the hall of fame boasts 486 members. 2019 Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame Ohio Department of Aging Marianne B.

At the Meigs County Fair the prosecutor had a booth with Marsy’s Law brochures as well as crime related information to educate the public about services provided and other crime related information. James covered the booth throughout the evenings, speaking with the people and listening and answering any concerns they may have.” Additionally Stanley is a member of the Meigs County Community Prevention Coalition. He hosted the Meigs County Recovery Services Town Hall Meeting, he helped sponsor and organize the Drug Prevention Day at the Meigs County Fair, and he led opposition to State Issue 1.

LOUIS — A judge issued an order Friday to keep Missouri’s only abortion clinic operating over the objections of state health officials, delivering abortionrights advocates a courtroom victory after a string of setbacks in legislatures around the U.S. St. Louis Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer said Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis clinic can continue providing abortions despite the Missouri health department’s refusal to renew its license over a variety of patient safety concerns. He said the temporary restraining order was necessary to “prevent irreparable injury” to Planned Parenthood. With the abortion license set to expire at midnight Friday, Planned Parenthood pre-emptively sued this week and argued that the state was “weaponizing” the licensing pro- Jeff Roberson | AP Abortion-rights supporters march Thursday in St. Louis. A St. Louis judge ruled Friday that Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis clinic can continue providing abortions despite the Missouri health department’s refusal to renew its license over a variety of patient safety concerns. cess. Planned Parenthood said that absent court intervention, Missouri would become the first state without an abortion clinic since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized the procedure nationwide. The clinic’s license will remain in effect until a ruling is issued on Planned Parenthood’s request for a permanent injunction, Stelzer’s ruling says. A hearing is set for Tuesday morning. “Today is a victory for women across Missouri, but this fight is far from over,” Planned Parenthood Federation of America CEO Dr. Leana Wen said in a statement. “We have seen just how vulnerable access to abortion care is here — and in the rest of the country.” Republican Gov.

Four other people were wounded in the shooting, including a police officer whose bulletproof vest saved his life, said Virginia Beach Police Chief James Cervera. The city’s visibly shaken mayor, Bobby Dyer, called it “the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach.” The shooting happened shortly after 4 p.m. when the veteran employee of the Public Utilities Department entered a building in the city’s Municipal Center, and “immediately began to indiscriminately fire upon all of the victims,” Cervera said. He did not release the suspect’s name. Police entered the building and got out as many employees as they could, then exchanged fire with the suspect, who was killed, the chief said. Police initially said the gunman shot and killed 11 people. Cervera later said one more died on the way to the hospital. The shooting sent shock waves through Virginia Beach, the state’s largest city and a popular vacation spot in southeastern Virginia. The building where the attack took place is in a suburban complex miles away from the high-rise hotels along the beach and the downtown business area. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said in a statement he was devastated by the “unspeakable, senseless violence,” and is offering the state’s full support to survivors and relatives of the victims. “That they should be taken in this manner is the worst kind of tragedy,” the governor said during a Friday night news conference. The White House said President Donald Trump had been briefed and was monitoring the situation. Megan Banton, an administrative assistant who works in the building where the shooting happened, said she heard gunshots, called 911 and barricaded herself and about 20 colleagues inside an office, pushing a desk against a door. “We tried to do everything we could to keep everybody safe,” she said. “We were all just terrified. It felt like it wasn’t real, like we were in a dream. You are just terrified because all you can hear is the gunshots.” She texted her mom, telling her that there was an active shooter in the building and she and others were wait- Sunday Times-Sentinel Card Shower Mable Halley will be celebrating her 89th birthday on June 10. Cards may be sent to 254 Lanes Branch Road, Crown City, OH 25623 ing for police. “Thank God my baby is OK,” Banton’s mother, Dana Showers, said. Five of the injured were being treated at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital and a sixth was being transferred to the Trauma Center at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, Sentara Healthcare tweeted. At a nearby middle school, friends and relatives were reuniting with loved ones who were in the building when the shooting happened. They included Paul Swain, 50, who said he saw his fiancee from across the parking lot, clearly in an agitated state. “I think she knew some of the people,” he said. Outside the school, Cheryl Benn, 65, waited while her husband, David, a traffic engineer with the city who was in the building where the shooting happened, gave a written statement to detectives. She said her husband initially called her from a barricaded room and said it sounded as if someone had been working with a nail gun. Then he saw the bodies. “This is unbelievable for Virginia Beach,” Cheryl Benn said. “By and large, it’s a pretty calm and peaceful place to live.” Sunday, June 2 POMEROY — The Pomeroy Firemen’s Association will be hosting a chicken BBQ, with serving to begin at 11 a.m. The BBQ will be held at the Pomeroy Fire Department, located at 125 Butternut Avenue.

After competing, Northup discussed being the first Rebel to participate at the state meet, as well as his goal to return to Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium next season. “It’s really big privilege, and I’m just happy that God gave me the will to do it,” Northup said. “I’m going to try my best to get back here, and if God wants it, I’ll be here.

For them, flexibility as a 10-team conference is a pretty close second to money. “Our model has agility,” said West Virginia President Gordon Gee, who is completing his two-year terms as president of the Big 12 board of directors. “And I think that right now, I’d much rather be a ballerina than an elephant. I think we are the ballerina of the five top conferences.” Commissioner Bob Bowlsby chimed in with a visual of seeing “a character in the paper of me in a tutu.” But the man who helped lead the conference out of an era of instability in the extreme understood the point. “I think our model of playing everybody in football and playing a double round-robin in basketball is the best model,” Bowlsby said. “I think our one vs. two is the best playoff postseason model. I like our model better than any other one I see out there.” Big 12 revenue increased to $38.8 million per school for 2018-19, or a total of $388 million. Bowlsby said he anticipates those numbers reaching the mid-$40 million range per school before the current broadcast rights deal expires in 202425. The latest increase of about 6% is the 13th straight year of a bump in Big 12 revenues. Bowlsby said the increase is about 55% over five years. The figures announced Friday as the league wrapped up its spring meetings don’t include third-tier broadcast rights, such as what Texas gets through the Longhorn Network. Those totals vary by school. Big 12 revenue still ranks third behind the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference. The Big Ten has reportedly distributed up to $54 million to its longest-standing members, and the SEC reported payouts of $43.7 million per school. The Pac-12 surpassed $30 million for the first time this year at $31.3 million. The Atlantic Coast Conference was reportedly just shy of $30 million. “We don’t aspire to third in anything we do,” Bowlsby said. “But there are some realities that come from media markets and population density and some of those kinds of things that we don’t have a whole lot of control over. What’s important is that we’re able to generate the revenue that arms our coaches and our student-athletes, our athletic directors, with the tools that it takes to produce championship-caliber teams.” Bowlsby said he could “absolutely” see a new long-term media rights deal with the current 10-team Big 12. But he had his usual words of caution about trying to predict what could happen, including whether a new contract could replace the existing one in less than five years. “Inside the business, outside the business, I do not believe there’s anybody who can predict what it’s going to look like three years from now with any measure of precision that would allow me to put a lot of money on it,” Bowlsby said. The looming expiration of TV contracts played a role in the chaotic conference realignments of nearly a decade ago. Among the Power Five leagues, the Big 12 was the closest to extinction. Bowlsby doesn’t see the same dynamic in play with all the major conferences having to negotiate new contracts within the next six years. “Most of the changes were due to trying to capture cable markets,” Bowlsby said. “I think the migration is away from cable markets and toward digital consumption, streaming consumption. So I think the prime mover is probably less present See BIG 12 | 2B �<C+8�'+6>/<=n�& �#:9<>= Southern junior Coltin Parker swings at a pitch during the fourth inning of Thursday afternoon’s Region 15 semifinal against Newark Catholic at Beavers Field in Lancaster, Ohio. Green Wave tops Southern, 12-7 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com LANCASTER, Ohio — Too little and way too late. Despite making things interesting late, the Southern baseball team had its remarkable 2019 postseason run come to an end Thursday afternoon following a 12-7 setback to Newark Catholic in a Division IV Region 15 semifinal held at Beavers Field in Fairfield County. The host Tornadoes (18-8) found themselves in some self-inflicted trouble early on as the Green Wave (22-9) received three consecutive walks to start the game, then cleanup hitter Fischer Nance was hit by a pitch that forced Derek Hawk in from third for a permanent lead four batters into regulation. NCHS eventually plated five runs in the top half of the first, but the Purple and Gold rallied with a score in their half of the first. Gage Shuler received a leadoff walk, then stole second and advanced to third on a one-out single from Billy Harmon. Shuler eventually scored during the next at-bat following a passed ball, cutting the deficit down to 5-1 after one complete. That momentum was all but lost midway through the second as SHS committed three allowed Ryan Acree to reach safely. Colton Parker then reached on an error that moved Acree to second, and both later scored following consecutive walks to Ryan Laudermilt, Austin Baker and Logan Drummer — allowing the Tornadoes to cut the gap down to 11-5 through five complete. Slater Evans extended the Green Wave lead back out to seven with a sacrifice fly to right that allowed Grant Myers to come home for a 12-5 edge. Southern, however, managed to load the bases with nobody out in its half of the sixth, and Acree hit into a fielder’s choice that allowed Noah Diddle to score while trimming the deficit in half at 12-6.

Mitchell signs with MBU baseball By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A real chance to make a lasting first impression. Point Pleasant senior Levi Chapman will be continuing his baseball career after signing with Mary Baldwin University on Sunday, March 17, 2019, during a ceremony held at the PPHS library in Mason County. Chapman was a fouryear varsity letterwinner with the Big Blacks, serving primarily as a pitcher during his time in a program that produced a pair of regional appearances at two different levels of postseason play. Mitchell made a handful of appearances as a freshman during Point’s Class AAA regional qualifying run back in 2016, then had his workload pick up a bit more as a sophomore as PPHS returned to the double-A level. It was Mitchell’s junior campaign, however, that things started to showing real promise, albeit on a team that struggled through an 11-13 season. Mitchell made five starts and nine appearances in 2018, which led to 15 strikeouts, 15 walks and just as many earned runs over 18 innings on the mound. Mitchell improved those numbers again this past spring, churning out 22 strikeouts while allowing only 13 walks and 13 earned runs in 11 appearances and 31 innings of work. Mitchell also posted a career low earned run average of 2.94 in 2019. Mitchell acknowledged that he did play with more confidence this past season knowing Afterwards, Southern head coach Kyle Wickline noted that he was disappointed in the outcome — particularly with the way things started. But, as the fourth-year skipper mentioned, he felt that his troops showed a lot of character in forcing the game to go all the way to the final out … and they also managed to win the final five innings by a 6-1 count. “We continued to battle, and that was the good thing. We made sure that we showed some pride in being out here and we forced the game to go all the way instead of leaving early because of a mercy rule.

Still, Mitchell believes that there is even more for him to accomplish on the diamond … and he is both humble and grateful to have the chance. “First, I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to do something like this. I’m basically starting a new chapter in my life and I’m ready to get after it, both athletically and academically,” Mitchell said. “It’s definitely going to be a different challenge, but it just means that I will have to work that much harder. I know it’s going to be a big change, but I’m still looking forward to making the most of the challenge.” MBU is a Division III school at the NCAA level, but it has also served primarily as an all-girls school in the Staunton (Va.) area until going coed in the fall of 2018. The Fighting Squirrels will begin base- ership and those kids to keep battling when things didn’t look very good,” Wickline said. “We had some chances with the bases loaded and if we get a hit here or there, things could have been different. In the end, we just didn’t finish it … and those are some of the things you deal with in high school baseball at this level.” Starting such an important game in a steady drizzle didn’t seem to help the cause, particularly in pitching from a mound that was covered in field turf — same as the infield. It caused some issues for both teams in the first inning, but Newark Catholic ended up making better adjustments as the day progressed. The weather also turned pleasant and dry about midway through the third inning. “We knew coming in that we had to play a clean game.

It’s not a traditional road that Mitchell has chosen, but it does clearly provide an opportunity to be part of something memorable over the next four years. As Mitchell noted, it was actually one of the main draws to heading down to the Virginia-based school. “Mary Baldwin had always previously been an all-girls school, but this year it opened up and became coed. I have a chance to be part of the first team at MBU … and that was a pretty big deal for me,” Mitchell said. “I know going in that it will be historic and I’m hoping to go in and make an impact, both immediately and over that four years of playing baseball. “The other thing that drew me in was the campus. It’s relatively small and there ends up being about 11 students for every teacher, so that allows for a lot more interaction time with the faculty and with tutors. It just felt right from the time I started my visit.” PPHS coach Andrew Blain believes that Mitchell has the work ethic and intangibles to become a solid collegiate player, but it will take four more years of tireless effort to make that dream a reality. Blain, however, notes that it is a very similar road that Levi faced while at Point Pleasant — competing at the varsity level as a freshman while improving all the way through. “He’s worked hard and he accepted his role early on that he would only be a pitcher for us. In doing so, he has developed himself into a competitive pitcher because he’s worked at his craft. He’s going to have a chance to be successful,” Blain said. “If he goes down there and continues to commit himself to baseball, get in the weight room and do the things they ask of him … I really believe he can do some good things there. There’s still a lot of development out there for him or any high school player going to play baseball at the collegiate level, but Levi has also worked himself into this opportunity. “It’s a good day for Levi and his family. He’s going to have a chance to fulfill a dream. It’s also a good day for the program to be able to send another player on to the college level.” Mitchell is excited to get started, but he also feels prepared for this next challenge because of the people he’s been involved with over the past few years. As he noted, being a member of the Point baseball program is one of the best things that has happened to him along the journey. “Honestly, I feel prepared because of the family nature that we have here at Point Pleasant. I’ve had supportive parents, great teammates and really good coaches along the way,” Mitchell said. “I have been part of the varsity program since my freshman year, when we were at the triple-A level. I’ve faced a lot of quality players and teams over that span, so I definitely feel that Point Pleasant has prepared for the next level.” Mitchell carries a 3.4 grade-point average and plans to major in Athletic Training. Levi is the son of Doug and Summer Mitchell of Point Pleasant.

That was the difference in the game.” Southern outhit NCHS by an 8-7 overall margin and did have a majority of the seven errors in the game. The hosts stranded 11 runners on base, while the Green Wave left nine on the bags. Newark Catholic used six different pitchers, none of whom threw more than 26 pitches in the triumph. Starter Connor Hinerman picked up the winning decision after allowing three runs (one earned) and two hits while striking out two in 1.2 innings of doublestinted work. Anderson took the loss for SHS after surrendering five earned runs, two hits and three walks over an inning of work. Anderson was the first of three hurlers used by the Tornadoes in the setback. Harmon led Southern with four hits, followed by Shuler, Diddle, Anderson and Laudermilt with a safety apiece. Grant Myers paced the Green Wave with two hits, with Hinerman, Nance, Ian Stacey, Granger Evans and Slater Evans also providing a safety apiece. Nance also drove in a game-high three RBIs. Newark Catholic is still perfect against the Tornadoes in eight alltime matchups — all of which have come at the Region 15 tournament. The Green Wave defeated SHS seven consecutive postseasons from 2007 through 2013. It was the final baseball game for seniors Ryan Acree, Noah Diddle, Logan Drummer, Jensen Anderson, Austin Arnold, Austin Baker and Billy Harmon in the Purple and Gold. Wickline was very appreciative of those seven graduating seniors and what they’ve given to the program during his tenure in charge. “Even though we lost and we’re now 0-8 against those guys, it’s still a good day for the program. We’re back to being a Sweet 16 team and we’ve had a great season getting here,” Wickline said. “I started with these seniors when they were freshmen four years ago, and we’ve gone from a losing record that first year to district champions and a return to regionals. It speaks volumes of how much this group of seniors has given to the program. They’re a special group of young men.” Southern completed the 2019 campaign with an 11-5 mark in Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division play, good enough for third place overall. Big 12 to want to come and join us, not the other way around,” he said. Baylor received a full portion of league revenue for the first time since the Big 12 decided two years ago to withhold some money in the wake of a sexual assault scandal that led to the departures of coach Art Briles, president Ken Starr and athletic director Ian McCaw. Bowlsby said Baylor President Linda Livingstone updated the board on several fronts, includ- ing the school’s wait to hear from the NCAA over possible sanctions. Briles and the university were accused of mishandling allegations of sexual assault involving numerous football players. “I think President Livingstone has done a tremendous job leading Baylor through a difficult time, and they’re clearly making progress,” Bowlsby said. “She and her staff and board leadership are to be congratulated there.” From page 1B now and will be less present in the future.” And Bowlsby believes the Big 12’s mindset will be clear, which again traces back to it being the smallest of the Power Five leagues at the moment. “I think what we have to do is make our league the best we can be and in doing so cause people Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, June 2, 2019 3B Pullins NCAA D-3 runner-up Pridemore lead Riverside senior league Staff Report MASON, W.Va. — With four weeks remaining in the first half of play, Kenny Pridemore, of Point Pleasant, holds the lead in the senior men’s golf league at Riverside Golf Club in Mason County.

Kitchens: OBJ missed ‘a lot’ skipping practices BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Odell Beckham Jr.’s extended absence may have finally gotten to Browns coach Freddie Kitchens. After staunchly defending the superstar wide receiver’s decision to skip nearly all of Cleveland’s voluntary practices since joining the team, Kitchens had a different tone Thursday when asked about Beckham’s nonattendance. “I just want to see him,” Kitchens said when asked what he wants to see out of Beckham at next week’s mandatory minicamp. What did Beckham miss while away the past three weeks? “A lot,” Kitchens quipped. “The offense.” Beckham, who was acquired March 12 in a blockbuster trade from the New York Giants, skipped all but one day of Cleveland’s voluntary practices (OTAs) over the past month. Other than being at his introductory news conference on April 1 or his appearance two weeks ago at one of the 10 practice sessions, the 26-year-old Beckham has not been around. So while Kitchens installed a new offense and quarterback Baker Mayfield threw passes to second- and third-stringers — Jarvis Landry has been held out of workouts with an unspecified injury — Beckham has been training in Los Angeles, dressing for the Met Gala in New York, attending the Formula One race in Monaco and getting a customized, orange Rolls Royce. In the past, Kitchens defended Beckham’s decision, saying he was confident the three-time Pro Bowler receiver would stay in shape and be ready when the season starts. Kitchens may still feel that way, but given the chance he didn’t express those sentiments this time, perhaps to send a message to Beckham or set a tone for next week’s workouts. Beckham isn’t the only player who has missed practice, but he could have changed some of the outside perceptions about him being selfish by joining his new teammates and Kitchens, who has never been a head coach and is getting his first crack at the highest level. Running back Duke Johnson has missed the entire offseason program after requesting a trade. Kitchens said he expects Johnson to return next week. “It’s mandatory,” Kitchens said. “He should be here.” Wide receiver Antonio Callaway also missed Thursday’s practice along with safety Damarious Randall and tight end David Njoku. Kitchens is excited about having his full squad together soon. “It’ll be nice to have everybody here and get them some work and get everybody ready to compete during training camp when we’re going to start forming the Cleveland Browns,” Kitchens said.

Compliance coordinator Bill Lilly told The Associated Press the school submitted a reinstatement request to the NCAA on Thursday, a process he says first requires a school to declare an athlete ineligible in order to ultimately clear him for competition. Lilly says the request cites “misadvisement,” meaning he offered incorrect guidance to the 6-foot-6 junior amid confusion about the rule adopted in August following a federal corruption investigation into the sport. It’s unclear exactly when a ruling could come, though Lilly estimated it could take seven to 10 days.

At the last one, six years ago, Baltimore beat San Francisco after a 34-minute power outage darkened the stadium and halted the game. Associated Press Perhaps no part of the NFL has evolved more drastically over 100 seasons than the actual places where the games have been played. From the baseball parks some of the league’s pioneering teams were shoehorned into during the early days to the billiondollar palaces been built lately with enough highdefinition screens that all 70,000 fans can see the slow-motion instant replays at every angle. Here’s a look at some of NFL’s most iconic and impactful venues over the years: LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL COLISEUM, Los Angeles Opened in 1923, the Coliseum first gained the Rams as a tenant in 1946 when they moved west from Cleveland. The Raiders played there from 1982-1994 in their L.A. stint between stays in Oakland. Then the Rams came back in 2016 from St. Louis for a final reunion until they move into their new stadium in Inglewood in 2020. The Coliseum will host a third Summer Olympics in 2028. SOLDIER FIELD, Chicago Opened in 1924 next to Lake Michigan, Soldier Field became host of the Bears in 1971, after they played 50 years in front of the brick and ivy at Wrigley Field. The colonnades remained after the renovated stadium re-opened in 2003 following a oneyear stay for the team at the University of Illinois in Champaign. CENTURY LINK FIELD, Seattle Opened in 2002 for the Seahawks, this stadium quickly became the loudest outdoor facility in the league behind an ardent fan base known as the “12th Man” and a unique rainbow truss design that traps in the crowd noise. Roger Steinman | AP file AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, was the first stadium with construction costs that passed $1 billion. The stadium opened for the Cowboys for the 2009 season in the suburb of Arlington with a massive, center-hung, high-definition videoboard as the premier attraction among many Texas-sized amenities. LAMBEAU FIELD, Green Bay The Packers moved into the new City Stadium, a bigger version across town that was considered the NFL’s first football-specific facility, in 1957. Eight years later, it was renamed for the famed franchise’s first head coach, Curly Lambeau. The Packers won their first Super Bowl after the 1967 season after beating Dallas in the NFL championship game, known as the “Ice Bowl,” on a last-second quarterback sneak by Bart Starr after a kickoff temperature of 13 degrees below zero. CANDLESTICK PARK, San Francisco Opened in 1961, this stadium near the brisk San Francisco Bay gained the 49ers as a tenant in NBA fines Clippers $50K over Rivers comments on Leonard TORONTO (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers are paying a price, because Doc Rivers paid Toronto star Kawhi Leonard a compliment. The NBA fined the Clippers $50,000 on Friday for violating the league’s anti-tampering rule. The league did not specifically say what comments were determined to be fineworthy, other than saying it was in response to what Rivers — the Clippers’ coach — said about Leonard “in a recent television appearance.” Rivers appeared on an NBA Finals preview show on ESPN earlier in the week and compared Leonard to Michael Jordan. The NBA has regularly warned teams about the perils of saying anything that could be construed as lobbying for a player who is under contract to one team to join another. “I would just say Doc has been at this a long time,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Friday at an NBA Cares event in Toronto, not long after the fine was announced. “It’s not a fun part of my job ever fining anyone. And I understand the competing interest of the media in hearing a coach’s view about a current NBA player but it’s something where there’s a bright line in this league and you’re not allowed to do it.” Leonard will be a free agent this summer, and the Clippers are expected to be the teams who will try to pursue him. Rivers was part of a panel with Magic Johnson and others discussing Leonard’s game when he made the Jordan comparison. “He is the most like Jordan that we’ve seen,” Rivers said on the telecast. “Like, there’s a lot of great players. LeBron (James) is phenomenal. KD (Kevin Durant) is phenomenal. But not that he is Jordan or anything like that, but he is the most like him. Big hands. Post game. Can finish. Great leaper. Great defender. In-between game. If you beat him to the spot, bumps you off. Then you add his 3-point shooting. “So, I never get in that ‘who’s the best player?’” Rivers continued. “Magic is the best player, Michael Jordan was the best player, LeBron. But it’s that same group.” Silver said NBA coaches or executives, when put in those situations, should simply say something akin to “I’m not permitted by the league to respond to that question.” “It’s a balance of interest. I understand that,” Silver said. “But he unfortunately crossed a bright line.” 1971. The facility, which was much windier for baseball games than it was for football, hosted five Super Bowl championship teams, ranging from the 1981 to 1994 seasons, as future Pro Football Hall of Fame members Joe Montana and Jerry Rice formed one of the league’s greatest passing games. Montana’s throw to a stretched-out Dwight Clark in the back of the end zone in the NFC title game against Dallas, known as “The Catch,” sent the 49ers to their first Super Bowl and helped put the ‘Stick on the NFL map. THREE RIVERS STADIUM, Pittsburgh One of the many cookie-cutter, circle-shaped, multi-purpose facilities of the era, Three Rivers Stadium opened in 1970 for the Steelers, who won four Super Bowl championships during their residency along the riverbanks. One of the most famous plays in NFL history took place here in 1972, when the “Immaculate Reception ” by Franco Harris off a deflected pass in the closing seconds gave the Steelers a playoff game victory over Oakland. That was the franchise’s first postseason win after going the first 40 years without one, the first 37 of which were at Forbes Field and Pitt Stadium. TEXAS STADIUM, Dallas Opened in 1971 in the suburb of Irving, the stadium featured a European soccer-style partial roof with a rectangle cut-out that cast long shadows on the turf and kept the game outdoors while still sheltering fans from the weather. Or, as Cowboys linebacker D.D. Lewis was widely purported to have explained the reason for the hole was “so God can watch his favorite team.” The Cowboys won five Super Bowl championships during their stay at Texas Stadium. MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME, New Orleans The Superdome has outlasted seven other domed stadiums from the AstroTurf era that have come and gone, even surviving Hurricane Katrina that forced the Saints to play elsewhere in 2005. The spaceship-like building, which opened in 1975, AT&T STADIUM, Dallas The first stadium with construction costs that passed the $1 billion price tag, AT&T Stadium opened for the Cowboys for the 2009 season in the suburb of Arlington with a massive, center-hung, highdefinition videoboard as the premier attraction among many Texas-sized amenities. The Super Bowl was held there in the stadium’s second year, infamously remembered for the temporary sections that weren’t completed in time for the big game and ultimately left 400 ticket holders without seats in the quintessential firstworld problem. US BANK STADIUM, Minnesota Opened in 2016 for the Vikings and host of the second-highest scoring Super Bowl following the 2017 season, US Bank Stadium became the NFL’s first facility with a translucent roof .

The Raptors introduced Dell Curry and some of their other former players after the first quarter, a group that included perennial All-Stars such as Tracy McGrady and Chris Bosh. But it wasn’t until they got Leonard in a trade with San Antonio that Toronto was finally good enough to get to the NBA Finals. He wasn’t the dominant force he was in the first three rounds, when he averaged 31.2 points. But he had eight rebounds and five assists in his first NBA Finals game since winning MVP of the 2014 championship with the Spurs. DeMarcus Cousins made it back from a torn left quadriceps to come off the bench in his first NBA Finals game, but the Warriors remained without Kevin Durant, the MVP of the last two NBA Finals. He traveled to Toronto but it’s unclear if he’ll play before the series returns to the Bay Area, with Warriors coach Steve Kerr saying he would have to go through a practice first. The Warriors had won every game since he got hurt in the second round but sure missed him against the Raptors, who are on a roll after falling behind 2-0 to Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference finals.

Baltimore, Cincinnati, Minnesota and Tampa Bay set stadium lows this year. Kansas City had its smallest home crowd since 2011 and Toronto and San Francisco since 2010. The Marlins’ average attendance is less than Triple-A Las Vegas. Major League Baseball’s overall average of 26,854 through Wednesday is 1.4% below the 27,242 through the similar point last season, which wound up below 30,000 for the first time since 2003. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred attributes this year’s drop to fewer season tickets but emphasizes day-of-game sales are up 6%. “Given the explosion of entertainment alternatives and the growth of the secondary market, it is not surprising that season ticket sales can be challenging,” he said. “The clubs are responding to this challenge with creative and effective approaches. For example, sales of subscription tickets are double what they were a year ago. And the Twins recently had a $5 flash sale that produced crowds of over 30,000 in three of four games, and the largest singlegame attendance since 2016.” Nineteen of the 30 teams have seen their average fall from a similar point last year, with the largest drops in Toronto (6,963), San Francisco (6,463), Baltimore (3,839) and Detroit (3,686). Large rises have taken place for Philadelphia (10,383), Oakland (4,027), San Diego (3,465) and the Chicago White Sox (2,311). The Phillies signed Bryce Harper and the Padres added Manny Machado. “A lot of it comes down to competition. Fans want to know their teams are doing everything they can to compete for a championship every year,” union head Tony Clark said. “I see every empty seat as a missed opportunity. Experiencing a game and seeing players perform in person creates a bond with baseball; our industry needs to find ways to convert those empty seats into lifelong fans.” MLB’s average peaked at 32,785 in 2007 — the last year before the Great Recession and the next-to-last season before the New York Yankees and Mets moved to smaller stadiums. The average was at 30,517 in 2015 before sliding for three straight years, and last season’s final figure of 28,830 marked a 4% drop, the overall number hurt by unusually cold and wet weather early in the season. Manfred points to other metrics that please MLB: Games top prime-time cable ratings in 24 of 25 markets and MLB.tv streaming is up 8.5%. He views increases for the Phillies, Padres, Athletics and White Sox tied to team performance. Florida remains a problem on both coasts. Despite a sparkling, eight-season-old ballpark with a retractable roof, Miami is averaging 9,554 in Derek Jeter’s second season as chief executive — below the 9,582 average for Triple-A Las Vegas in its first season at a new 10,000-capacity stadium. Tampa Bay plays in one of the most outmoded facilities in the major leagues and drew 5,786 against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, the smallest home crowd for the Rays, who started play at Tropicana Field in 1998. “The more people there are, the more energy there’s going to be,” Tampa Bay outfielder Kevin Kiermaier said. “No matter what crowd you’re playing in front of, you have to get motivated.” A quartet of last-place teams has seen swaths of empty seats. Miami is on track to have the lowest home attendance in the National League for the seventh straight season. Tampa Bay is at the bottom of the AL for the fifth consecutive year. “Any time you’re seeing less people show up to the ballpark, I think you’re wondering why and you’re wondering how you can change that,” said Miami first baseman Neil Walker, accustomed to big crowds from his time in New York. “You’ve got to assume that it has a little bit to do with it being expensive to come to the ballpark.” Having traded many veterans, the Orioles are 28th in the majors at 16,263. Baltimore topped 2 million in 21 of its first 25 seasons at Camden Yards, exceeding 3 million nine times. But the Orioles drew 6,585 against Oakland on April 8, the lowest in the ballpark’s 28-season history except for a 2015 game closed to the public at a time when the city was plagued by rioting. “I wish fans were here. When we played in Wrigley, the energy level was off the charts,” firstyear Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “I’m hoping that someday soon that will be the case here.” Cincinnati’s crowd of 7,799 against Milwaukee on April 1 was the lowest for a Reds’ home game since 1984 at Riverfront Stadium. That same day, Toronto drew 10,460 against the Orioles, the smallest attendance at the Rogers Centre since 2010. San Francisco drew 28,030 vs. Pittsburgh on April 10, the Giants’ lowest home crowd since 2010. Kansas City’s crowd of 10,024 against the Twins on April 2 was the lowest at Kauffman Stadium since 2011. Minnesota drew 11,465 against Toronto on April 17, the lowest figure in Target Field’s 10-season history. “As a kid, I loved more than anything to go to the ballpark and I loved nothing more than playing baseball,” Walker said. “But I think a lot of people are just — they want action now. They don’t want to be totally consumed with a game maybe that’s just not timed.” Sunday, June 2, 2019 7B TORONTO (AP) — Steve Kerr has seen a little of almost everything during his wildly successful five-year run as coach of the Golden State Warriors. This, however, is something new. For the first time, Kerr and the Warriors are staring at a 1-0 deficit in the NBA Finals. They’ve trailed in series before, faced plenty of adverse moments along the way, but this is the newest challenge for a franchise trying to join the short list of clubs that have won three consecutive championships. “The experience helps,” Kerr said Friday, a day after the Toronto Raptors struck first. “Winning multiple championships helps because you have seen it all. There’s also just the knowledge that you’ve been here before. You’ve been down. We have been up 3-1 and lost a series. We have been down 3-1 and won a series. Everything in between. So nothing is going to catch these guys off-guard.” That’s his hope, anyway. There was a clear air of confidence from the Warriors even in the very first moments after the loss Thursday night. They knew they didn’t play particularly well, and lost by only nine. They trailed most of the way, yet still were within striking distance plenty of times. They seemed far from rattled. “No matter what, our sights were coming in that it’s a long series,” Warriors star Stephen Curry said. “And Game 2 is an opportunity for us to right the wrongs and get a big win and go back home.” No one needs to Tijana Martin | The Canadian Press via AP Toronto Raptors fans celebrate outside Scotiabank Arena after the Raptors won 118-109 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Raptors in Toronto on Thursday. Game 2 is scheduled for Sunday night in Toronto. explain to the Warriors that a win on Sunday completely shifts the narrative. And even though the axiom has always been that Game 1 winners usually go on to win the series — and that is still the case — it seems that a 1-0 deficit isn’t as daunting to teams as it once might have been. Since the league went to the 16-team format for the 1984 postseason, Game 1 winners have never been as vulnerable as they have seemed to be this year. In the 14 series this year that preceded the NBA Finals, six Game 1 winners wound up losing their series. That’s never happened before in this format. In the 2010s, Game 1 winners have gone on to lose a series 31% of the time. In the 2000s, it was 25%; in the 1990s, 15%. “As soon as you lose a game, it will be on the crawl that now we only have a 19.7% chance of winning the series. Then if we win (Sunday) we’ll have a 42.7% chance of not losing the series,” said Kerr, tongue firmly planted in cheek. “This stuff is what it is. You lose a game, you come back and you try to win.” Kerr’s stance is clear: A simpler approach — study film, find ways to get better, apply them Sunday — is best. On the other hand, Golden State hadn’t lost a Game 1 this season. Or the season before that. Or the season before that. The last time the Warriors woke up and were down 1-0 in a series was the Western Conference finals in 2016 — against Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City. The Warriors responded with a blowout win in Game 2 and went on to prevail in seven games. “You never lose that experience,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “You can always look back on it and it’s more about how you felt, what was your mindset then. But it’s impossible to be the same because it’s completely different teams. And although some of us may have that experience, others on our team have not had that experience.” It bears noting that the Raptors know a 1-0 series lead doesn’t mean much. Orlando had one of those against Toronto in the first round, and lost in five games. Milwaukee had one of those against Toronto in the Eastern Conference finals — 2-0, actually — and lost in six games. “We’ve tried to (have) a conscious thought process of not really caring what the score of the series is,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “I think we know that the games are really hard. We know that after a win, the team that gets beat gets really determined. They try to fix things. They mostly play a lot harder and more physical and all those kind of things.” The challenge for his team is to do the same. That process started with a long film session Friday, and there was much to clean up. “There was plenty on there that we need to do better if we want to win another game in this series,” Nurse said.

(AP) — Brian Deegan can tell you about the time he failed a backflip attempt with his motorcycle for a TV stunt and crashed with such a thud that the handlebar ripped up his gut like a gunshot and he almost died. Gnarly stuff. But it’s not as scary as watching his 17-year-old daughter hop in a stock car and zip around a 2 1/2-mile track at the type of speeds that would John Raoux | AP file make any dad cringe. Hailie Deegan could be among the next wave of stars in NASCAR. “Like, 190 mph for The 17-year-old has been a force driving in the entry-level ARCA Series (she finished seventh Friday at Pocono Raceway) and has a my daughter, I’m kind of scared as a dad,” Deegan win in each of the last two NASCAR K&N Series seasons. Series seasons. Like many photogenic teen influencers, she’s building her brand on Instagram (400,000-plus followers) and has already served as a guest host for NASCAR.com at Daytona 500 media day. But as the wins and top-10s start to pile up, so do the comparisons to Danica Patrick, the last female to drive in the Cup Series. Patrick was winless in 253 races over six seasons and her NASCAR career never matched the accolades and fame she found in entertainment and other said. Hailie Deegan has given dad — a 10-time X-Games medalist and founding member of the Metal Mulisha — little reason to worry on the race track. All the teen sensation has done is put the sport on notice that she could be one of the next wave of stars in NASCAR — but please, no D word. Danica. Deegan has been a force driving in the entrylevel ARCA Series (she finished seventh Friday at Pocono Raceway) and has a win in each of the last two NASCAR K&N business endeavors. “Lot of respect to Danica,” Brian Deegan said. “The more Hailie’s gone through the series, it’s almost worked against her at times. People are like, ‘Oh, she’s just another Danica. Oh, she’s going to crash.’ There’s the good and bad with that. We have a lot of respect for everything she’s ever done. As a female, she reached the highest points of racing. But there’s still room for goals to be broken. It’s going to be a long road for Hailie to be in Cup, but that is our goal.” AP SPORTS BRIEFS OSU revokes doc’s status, plans sex abuse task force COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University trustees have posthumously revoked the emeritus status of a team doctor found to have sexually abused young men during his two decades there. The decision Friday regarding Richard Strauss is a symbolic rebuke, stripping only the honorary label — something the university says it has never previously done. A law firm investigating allegations recently concluded Strauss sexually abused at least 177 male students between 1979 and 1997, and that university officials heard concerns but did little to stop him. President Michael Drake announced Friday that Ohio State is creating a task force to use the findings to help address sexual abuse and prevention on college campuses. Drake says the panel will include experts and abuse survivors. Strauss retired in 1998 and killed himself in 2005. No one has publicly defended him.

The Seahawks filed the suit this week in the Eastern District of Michigan seeking $799,238. McDowell was a second-round pick of the Seahawks in 2017, but never played a snap for Seattle after suffering serious injuries in an ATV accident prior to the start of training camp before his rookie season. According to the lawsuit, an arbitration hearing last February found that McDowell had “breached paragraph 3 of his NFL Player Contract,” and as a result was ordered to repay his signing bonus within 30 days. The Seahawks say they have not been paid. McDowell was waived by Seattle in March after spending the past two seasons on the non-football injury list. The Detroit News first reported the lawsuit.

The torch will travel to 857 municipalities in all of Japan’s 47 prefectures, highlighting symbols of reconstruction from the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, and the subsequent nuclear disaster that killed nearly 16,000 people. About 10,000 torch bearers will participate over the 121-day relay, with the organizers revealing the specific routes later this year. The torch will pass through municipalities heavily hit by the disaster in northeastern Japan. It will begin on March 26, 2020, at Fukushima Prefecture’s J-Village, a soccer training center that was an operational base for dealing with the nuclear crisis.
