ROCKSPRINGS — High school juniors and seniors in Meigs County have the opportunity to expand their education through the career-tech programs offered at Meigs High School. One of those programs is the Criminal Justice Program. Under the leadership of second year instructor Mark Griffin, the two year program is available for all juniors and seniors in the school districts in Meigs County. Griffin is a lifelong resident of the area and has 13 years experience as a police officer and investigator. The criminal justice program at Meigs High School began at the start of the 2013-14 with instructor Rick Smith. Smith has since moved on from the program, with Griffin taking on the role at the start of the 2018-19 school year. The program is paramilitary based, with an emphasis on discipline, teamwork and respect. Fifty percent of the time is in the classroom and the other 50 percent is spent in the lab or physical training.

GALLIA COUNTY — A Gallia resident is one of roughly 50 riders who took part in the Across Ohio Bicycle Adventure where cyclists rode from Liberty, Indiana, across Ohio and finished at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va. “They’re doing it for fun,” said the event’s Tour Director Maureen Capehart. “It’s not a fundraiser. This is their vacation and fun for themselves.” The ride is considered a border-toborder journey, held at the end of July annually since 1998. Riders travel 60 to 65 miles a day over the course of seven days.

There are several items in household waste that can be recycled such as magazines, cardboard, plastic bottles, cans, junk mail, pizza boxes and much more. There are several drop-off locations for recyclables within the county. Composting yard trimmings and food waste is a great alternative to burning because it produces a natural, free fertilizer that is helpful to vegetable or flower gardens. Repairing, selling or donating used items is also a way to reuse instead of burning. Finally, reduce the amount of waste you generate by avoiding easily, disposable stuff and buying durable, long lasting items. For more information on open burning regulations, proper solid waste disposal, recycling programs and alternatives to burning, contact the Meigs County Health Department at 740-9926626.

Today’s winner: Joseph Mazur, president of the Wyoming Valley West School District in Kingston, Pennsylvania. Winning move? Sending out letters threatening to take children away from parents who haven’t paid their kids’ lunch fees. According to a July 22 story on NPR, the school district was trying to recover $22,000 in overdue school lunch fees. So they did what any creditor would do – threaten to rip a family apart by reporting lunch fee delinquents to the state and have the children placed into foster care. Gary Do delinquent lunch fees give the Presley system the right to go all cruel and Contributing unusual on kids? No it doesn’t – this columnist is America. America should be better than that. “I think this whole thing has just been blown out of proportion,” Mazur told NPR. Just like the reports that Mazur and his school official comrades have hearts. The district website’s lead page ironically shows kids having a snack and has a notice for a “summer food service program.” Tone-deaf doesn’t start to describe the school district’s position. I’m not going to sift through the school board’s election platforms – paddles in every room? Dunce caps for every missed equation? Wedgies for every skinny kid in phys ed? – to see where this thinking sprouts from. It’s just wrong. As this story was breaking, the Times Leader newspaper in Wilkes-Barre reported the school has crossed a threshold that allows it to apply for free school lunches for all of its nearly 5,000 students. I’d call that a delicious irony, but the school district would probably want to boil the phrase and serve it to the students. Mazur defends the school’s move by noting the frustration of not being able to collect the lunch fees through nice letters and other means. There’s nothing wrong with brainstorming, with floating the idea that a tough letter might bring in more fees. What’s bad is that no one in the district was insightful enough to see what’s wrong with that and say, “Uh, wait a minute, is this really a good idea?” The silver lining to this story came from outside the district as donations were offered and, after a head-scratching initial rejection, were accepted by the district to pay off families’ lunch debts. It’s hard to believe that officials at any level of government would seriously consider using children as pawns to try to influence their parents’ behavior. It’s abhorrent that, at all levels of government, they’re doing it. It’s outrageous that most people’s thoughts about how kids are mistreated is simply, “meh.” “America’s Meanest” need to leave the kids out of it, and the rest of us need to quit standing idly by and start giving the mean people hell.

For me, though, I’m kind of glad to see it linger. For the first time in months, my children are being creative. To escape the heat, we’ve been going out in it to several different public swimming pools and lakes in the region. The children crave a dip in the pool to bring down their internal temperatures. We like that it makes the complaining about the heat go away for a little while, with the additional benefit that the physical exertion wears kids down so they’re more willing to sleep at night. I’ve always liked public swimming pools. They’re a great equalizer, with children from different earnings levels all playing together in one pool owned by the community. I grew up fortunate enough to have a village swimming pool a few hundred yards behind my parents’ house. It seemed like we were out there nearly every day, for a few hours each day, ming pool, that is. escaping the heat If you’re going by taking a dip in to enjoy the pool, the pool until that you’re going to lifeguard’s whistle have to leave your pulled you out for a devices behind. 15-minute break.

Later, after the Civil War ended slavery, Oakland and Magnolia transitioned to sharecropping. Think of it like our company towns. Poor farmers and former slaves rented their homes and land from the plantation owner and were sold food, seed, and tools from the plantation store on credit. Come harvest time, the crop was used to settle their debt to the plantation owner. The sharecropper received what was left, or added to their debt. It was essentially economic slavery. This is the history I’ve been working around for the last two months, and let me tell you, it has been busy! (And hot!) Our main project has been limewashing the outbuildings and barns at Oakland, all 17 of them. Around that, we’ve had to make some repairs to the historic copper and aluminum gutters, doors, and window shutters. Before I leave, I’ll also have repaired and reglazed a historic window.

Consultant seeking input on US 35, Ohio 7 interchange The Ohio Department of Transportation and consulting firm The Mannik & Smith Group, Inc. are holding a public meeting regarding potential improvements to the US 35/SR 7/SR 735 interchange in Gallia County. The purpose of the project is to enhance safety and mobility for drivers within the interchange and along the SR 7 corridor, and improve mobility, system linkage and access between US 35 and the City of Gallipolis. Since the potential improvements may have an impact on the local roadway network and future access to existing and proposed developments, ODOT is seeking the public’s input. The public meeting will be held from 4-7 p.m. on July 30 at the Gallipolis City Building, located at 333 Third Avenue, Gallipolis. Information on the existing study area conditions and challenges will be discussed, as well as proposed alternatives. The meeting will be held at the Gallipolis Municipal Building, 333 Third Avenue, 4-7 p.m., July 30 soybean growers, among those hit hardest by China’s retaliatory tariffs. The formula last year paid soybean farmers $1.65 a bushel and corn growers only a penny per bushel. “This year’s program is probably weighted more fairly to other commodities,” Irwin said. Under the first round of aid last year, a review by The Associated Press showed that many large farming operations found legal ways around caps, with some collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars and one receiving nearly $2.8 milloin. North Dakota farmer Joe Ericson said the aid won’t go far enough to make up for his losses due to the ongoing dispute. “It’ll help but it doesn’t cover everything,” said Ericson, who raises an equal amount of soybeans and corn on his 5,000-acre farm near the eastern North Dakota town of Wimbledon. “But I think I’ll be better off than last year.” Ericson said he would have needed at least $2 more a bushel on his soybeans to break even. This year, he and other farmers in the county will be paid $55 per acre. John Newton, the chief economist for the American Farm Bureau, said it’s too early to determine the impact of the latest payout to farmers, but it will help them “service that mountain of debt” that has come from years of poor crop prices. National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson said the latest bailout is welcomed and “desperately needed. But this sort of ad hoc policy is confusing and is really not a predictable policy for farmers to follow.” “Some farmers will probably be better off and some farmers will probably be worse off,” Johnson said of the aid package. “Overall, it’s far better that we have this than not have it.” The Columbus Dispatch reports that 71-year-old Jim Nelson was selected Thursday night by the Pike County Democratic central committee. The retired Piketon chief will lead the department after Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader accepted suspension earlier this month. Reader faces counts including theft in office and evidence-tampering after authorities looked into a complaint accusing him of stealing money that had been seized in drug cases. He pleaded not guilty and is free on bond.

But the Department of Energy tells The Columbus Dispatch there is no public health risk from radioactive material at the school.

Justice From page 1A Griffin noted that students should not be deterred by that training. “I do not want potential students to be intimidated by physical training or testing. If students participate daily, they will not have any issues with completing the program,” stated Griffin. Through the program, students can be prepared for professions after graduation which can include police officer, investigator, corrections officer, parole officer, forensics and the U.S. military, to name a few. The program currently works in collaboration with Ohio Department of Corrections to offer a provisional certification as an Ohio corrections officer upon graduation from the program. They also have a partnership with the West Virginia Department of Corrections that allow students who complete the program an opportunity to apply for employment at Lakin Correctional Facility.

At times, the stress of such a job — compounded by issues outside work — can become too much to handle, she said. To help, the 45-yearold North Side resident attended a retreat last month designed for first responders and their significant others to learn coping skills, hear inspirational stories and gather in support of one another for a few days of unity. “The big thing was you learned you are not alone,” Thomas said. “There were grown men who got onstage to share their story and cried. I shed a lot of tears that weekend.” And that’s OK — that’s the message retired police officers Mick Yinger and Michael Pavolino want first responders to take away from retreats they began hosting earlier this year as part of The Bridge , the nonprofit they founded in 2018. to meth,” Yinger said. “He took the meth to keep him awake. He tried to commit suicide, but fortunately for him the gun didn’t go off.” Yinger has had his own share of traumatic incidents, such as when he was involved in a fatal shooting in 2009. Lisa Callander, who spoke at the first two retreats, said she sees the program as a beneficial offshoot of what she and others do in the city’s Employee Assistance Program, an organization within Columbus Public Health that oversees the well-being of city employees. “You see their shoulders go down — a sigh of relief,” Callander said. “Bridge isn’t a therapy session, but it provides Fred Squillante | The Columbus Dispatch via AP education, hope and healBest friends and retired police officers Michael Pavolino (Westerville), left, and Mick Yinger (Columbus Police), right, founded The Bridge ing.” organization in the wake of the Westerville police shootings to help first responders deal with the aftermath of violence and other jobAnd it’s helping to related stresses. change the “macho-man food, or the speakers who culture” within police sioned by the Ruderman in February 2018. “With The Bridge, we and fire departments, she Family Foundation, a pri- come from around the The day after the are taking first respondsaid. vate philanthropic founda- country,” Yinger said. funerals, Pavolino said, ers from hurting to heal“You don’t have to be tion in Boston, indicating “Finances may be their he received a call from ing,” said Yinger, 51, a stoic,” she said. “You can main trigger, and we that more police officers North Side resident who Yinger, his best friend didn’t want them to have still do your job but be and firefighters died in since the two were retired from the Columto pay when that’s some- human.

The 2017 Heisman Trophy winner earned six victories as a starter in 2018 as Cleveland finished a much-improved 7-8-1. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Baker Mayfield scurried down the sideline, playfully high stepping as he blew past defenders on the second day of Browns training camp. Before running out of bounds, he spun the football behind his back, then flipped it over his shoulder at lineman Sheldon Richardson as the fans erupted. It was a typical afternoon at the office for the charismatic — and undeniably cocky — quarterback who is tasked with ending Cleveland’s 16-year playoff drought. “That’s Baker Mayfield. His confidence is always there when he steps on the field,” Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio said Friday. “It’s been really cool to see him evolve as a player, but honestly, he’s still the same guy who came to camp with us last year. “We know with Baker, every time we touch the football, there is a chance to do something good.” Mayfield set an NFL rookie record with 27 touchdown passes last season, breaking the mark shared by Super Bowl champions Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson, after being the No. 1 overall pick out of Oklahoma. The 2017 Heisman Trophy winner also earned six victories as a starter as Cleveland finished 7-8-1, triggering sky-high expectations this fall that he believes are realistic. “Winning the Super Bowl absolutely should be the goal every year,” the 6-foot1, 215-pounder said. “This is a tradition-rich franchise that needs to have that standard. It’s just getting back to that baseline, setting that foundation and for everybody to realize this is what they should expect. The See MAYFIELD | 2B Smith returns as Bengals open camp with line questions CINCINNATI (AP) — Andre Smith had to go the other way when he walked into the Bengals’ locker room for the start of training camp. In his latest incarnation in Cincinnati, the offensive tackle was given a space on the other side of the room next to the quarterbacks and tight ends. The locker was open and, as a newcomer, he didn’t have much choice where to store his stuff. He also lacks a defined role. “I just roll with the punches,” he said. “You never know what could happen. I’m a swing guy on one play, the next play I’m starting, so you never know.” The Bengals reported Friday for the start of their first camp under coach Zac Taylor, with a lot of new systems yet to learn and abundant questions about an offensive line that’s again a work in progress. The line has been in flux since the end of the 2016 season, when the Bengals let left tackle Andrew Whitworth leave for the Rams and right guard Kevin Zeitler signed with the Browns. They thought they’d smoothed it out when they drafted left tackle Jonah Williams with the 11th overall pick, but a shoulder injury will sideline him for the season. Left guard Clint Boling retired two weeks ago because of a blood clot, further complicating matters. The coaching staff plans to try various combinations during camp, with Smith serving as a backup to left tackle Cordy Glenn and right tackle Bobby Hart at the outset. Injuries and the line’s struggles were significant factors in the offense finishing last in the league in 2017 and 26th last year in total yards. Smith, 32, a first-round pick in 2009, is in his fourth stint with the Bengals. He went to Minnesota in 2016, returned in 2017, left for Arizona in 2018 and returned last November when the line was sapped by injuries. He spent this summer working out and waiting for a team to offer a chance. The Bengals invited him for a workout Thursday to gauge his shape and decided to sign him for camp. “Just a situation happened where Clint (retired), Jonah went down and they knew me and I came in and did everything I needed to do yesterday, and it worked out,” Smith said. In addition to trying players at different spots on the line during camp, the Bengals will be watching to see who gets released by other teams as the preseason approaches. “It’s going to be a work in progress,” said Duke Tobin, director of player personnel. “I don’t feel like it can’t come together, but we’ve got work to do.” See BENGALS | 2B Ron Schwane | AP Offensive tackle Andre Smith is in his fourth stint with the Bengals.

Big expectations in 2019 Bobcats, Herd early favorites in respective conferences By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com At least by preseason standards, there is no better time than now for this bitter rivalry to renew. Both the Ohio Bobcats and Marshall Thundering Herd have been voted as early favorites to win their respective conference championships, making this year’s Battle for the Bell matchup a bit more interesting when the two gridiron combatants face-off at Joan C. Edwards Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 14. The Bobcats own a 33-20-6 overall advantage in the head-to-head series, including a 21-10 victory in the last contest played between these programs back on Sept. 12, 2015. It will also be one of the many highlights on each program’s football schedule for 2019, although there are plenty of tough matchups awaiting the squads this fall.

Carl Cline — who led after last week’s event — currently sits third with 60 points. A total of 73 players were present for the Week 4 event, making up 16 four-man teams and a trio of three-man squads. The low score of the day was fired by Jim Turley, Cliff Gordon, Kenny Greene and Kenny Pridemore, which ended up being a 13-under par round of 57. There was a four-way tie for second place with matching efforts of 10-under par 60. The closest to the pin winners were Jim Francisco on the ninth hole, as well as Gene Thomas on No. 14.

Marshall will be aiming for its eighth bowl appearance in 11 years, as well its first CUSA Championship since winning the crown back in 2014. The Herd also last won the CUSA East crown in 2014. The college football regular season begins roughly five weeks from this weekend. Dorsey said. “Last I looked, wherever he has been, his teammates have always galvanized to him and that’s all you can ask for. It takes a lot of work because it’s hard to master that quarterback position, but let’s see him grow.” Mayfield has already demonstrated good chemistry with star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who was acquired from the Giants on March 13. Returning wideout Jarvis Landry gives Cleveland arguably the best 1-2 punch at the position in the sport. With three of the Browns’ first five regular season games in prime time, all eyes — and overwhelming pressure — will be on them imme- diately. Also hanging over their heads is an ongoing run of 11 straight losing seasons. “The hype around it and everything is something that I’m used to,” Mayfield said calmly. “We had those expectations in high school, we had them at Oklahoma. I get it. Now, it’s just a bigger platform.” 2019 Mayfield From page 1B Are you an RN, LPN, Nursing Assistant or Medical Assistant? Pleasant Valley Hospital is looking for you!

That’s my goal.” Roethlisberger also wants to win another Super Bowl. “That’s much more motivation for me than what people say,” Roethlisberger said. “I’ll be selfish when it comes to that. I want to win Super Bowls. Truthfully, that should be all of our motivation because that’s what’s driving me right now.” fans do deserve that, and that’s how it needs to be.” Mayfield’s offseason was eventful, as well. He married the former Emily Wilkinson on July 7, was prominently featured in the “NFL 100” television commercial and became the league’s fifth-most popular player in total merchandise sales.

(AP) — Though his math was a little fuzzy, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones opened training camp by making a point that every player on the roster was under contract. What Jones really had in mind while mentioning 80 players when it should have been 90 was one in particular: star — and how holdout — running back Ezekiel Elliott. Once the questions began on reporting day Friday, Jones declared Elliott “late.” With two years left on his rookie deal, the two-time NFL rushing champion wasn’t around for a physical or conditioning test a day after missing the team’s flight to California. The first practice is set for Saturday, with no indication that anything will change with Elliott. One of Elliott’s representatives didn’t return a message seeking comment. The fourth overall choice in the 2016 draft, Elliott is due to make $3.9 million this season and $9.1 million in the fifth year, which was a team option since the former Ohio State star was a first-round pick. An opening day of the talk dominated by Elliott’s absence wasn’t what the Cowboys in mind with expectations of getting past the divisional round for the first time since the last of the franchise’s five Super Bowl titles nearly 25 years ago. But Jones was undeterred. “I don’t want to seem cavalier about it, but I also don’t want to be unrealistic being alarmed about it,” Jones said. “This is the air we breathe. And if you flared and knee-jerked or went just because you have parts of it that need addressing, you wouldn’t be able to manage.” While Elliott has been among the league’s most Time 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE Time 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7 p.m. 7:30 7:30 Time 7 p.m. 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 productive backs while helping the Cowboys win two NFC East titles in his three seasons, the 2016 All-Pro also has had off-field issues. Elliott was suspended for six games over domestic violence allegations in 2017, and was recently cleared by the league office for his part in an incident with a security guard in Las Vegas earlier this year. Jones went to great lengths to defend Elliott during the investigation over the domestic case, even threatening to sue his fellow owners over a contract extension for Roger Goodell when Jones was upset with the commissioner over Elliott’s punishment. “All of that comes to mind,” Jones said. “My time with Zeke has been based on just that, supporting him. And I do support him. I think he has a fabulous future here. So maybe I should be sure and say that.” Speaking of fuzzy math, the standoff with Elliott is reminiscent of Jones’ contract stalemate with Emmitt Smith in 1993 after the first of three Super Bowl victories for Dallas in four seasons. As Jones remembers it, Smith wasn’t under contract — and Smith himself was adamant that his situation was a negotiation, not a holdout. But there were initial reports of a four-year deal after Smith’s long holdout as a rookie in 1990, and Smith had just finished his third season on his way to becoming the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. There’s nothing murky about Elliott’s contract status, and Jones will have to hope that’s not the only difference. When Smith remained unsigned two games into the 1993 season, the Cowboys lost both before a deal suddenly got done and Dallas went on to a second consecutive title. Darius Jackson is the only experienced running back on the roster, and all six of his carries for 16 yards came in a meaningless regularseason finale at the New York Giants last season when Dallas had already wrapped up the division. The Cowboys drafted two running backs this year and are particularly high on fourth-rounder Tony Pollard out of Memphis. Mike Weber Jr. was a seventh-round choice from Ohio State. “When someone is not there, step up, next man up and let’s see what you got,” coach Jason Garrett said. “It’s a great opportunity for us as coaches to evaluate that player, see if he can hold up, see if we need to go get somebody else.” Elliott isn’t the only young star looking for a new contract. Quarterback Dak Prescott, the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in the dynamic first-year pairing with Elliott, is arguably the biggest bargain in the league at the moment ($2 million base salary in 2019). Receiver Amari Cooper, a midseason trade acquisition who provided a big boost to a sagging offense last season as the Cowboys surged to the division title in the second half and won a wildcard game, is in the final year of his contract. “We’ve worked on multiple ones before,” executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said. “We can work on three; we can work on four. When you decide you’re going to do them, it happens quickly. And when nothing’s going on, nothing’s going on.” 6 PM 6:30 SUNDAY, JULY 28 7 PM 7:30 WSAZ News NBC Nightly Hollywood Game Night Tonight (N) News (N) "Jane's New Diggs" WTAP News NBC Nightly Hollywood Game Night (N) News (N) "Jane's New Diggs" ABC 6 News ABC World Funniest Home Videos at 6 p.m. (N) News (N) Videos feature wedding fails.

(AP) — The University of Connecticut has agreed to pay a $17 million exit fee to the American Athletic Conference so the school can rejoin the Big East next year. AAC bylaws stipulate any school seeking to leave the conference must give 27 months’ notice and pay a $12 million fee, but the sides negotiated the higher fee for UConn to leave sooner. UConn Athletic Director David Benedict in a statement Friday thanked AAC Mike Aresco and his staff for their professionalism during the league transition process. Aresco praised Benedict for helping the sides reach a “swift and amicable resolution.” The Huskies will join the Big East in all sports except football, men’s and women’s ice hockey and rowing. UConn also announced Friday its football program will become an independent in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2020. Hernandez estate settles wrongful death lawsuit BOSTON (AP) — The estate of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez has settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the families of two men he was acquitted of killing. Court records show that a Superior Court judge Tuesday issued an order of dismissal of the suit brought by the families of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. William Kennedy, a lawyer for the Furtado family, told The Boston Globe in an email that the terms are confidential. Kenneth Kolpan, a lawyer for de Abreu’s widow, said the settlement “honors the legacy and memory of Daniel de Abreu.” George Leontire, a lawyer for Hernandez’s estate, said no assets of the estate were used to settle. Prosecutors alleged Hernandez shot the men in 2012 after a confrontation at a nightclub. Hernandez killed himself in prison in 2017. Rams extend McVay, Snead contracts through 2023 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead have agreed to contract extensions through 2023 with the Los Angeles Rams. The defending NFC champions announced the deal Friday while veterans reported to training camp in Orange County. The 33-year-old McVay has engineered a stunning turnaround of the Rams in his two seasons on the job. He took over a franchise with 13 consecutive non-winning seasons and immediately won two NFC West titles while going 24-8 in the regular season. The Rams reached their first Super Bowl in 17 years last season. Snead took over the Rams’ front office in 2012 in St. Louis. He built the foundation for McVay’s success by drafting the likes of Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley and Jared Goff. Final Alpine stage of Tour de France cut by more than half TIGNES, France (AP) — The final Alpine stage of the Tour de France will be shortened to just 59 kilometers (37 miles) because of adverse weather conditions in the mountain range. After Stage 19 was stopped because of hailstorms that caused a landslide on the route, race organizers said two of three climbs will be eliminated from Saturday’s stage. “Due to difficult weather conditions expected … and landslides noticed, the course of the 20th stage of the Tour de France will be modified,” they said in a statement. The stage to the ski resort of Val Thorens, the last major difficulty before the race reaches Paris on Sunday, had an initial length of 130 kilometers (81 miles). Sunday, July 28, 2019 5B Clippers unveil plans for new arena LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers unveiled the first renderings Thursday for the lavish arena complex they hope to build in Inglewood. While significant hurdles remain, the Clippers are hoping to break ground by 2021 on an 18,500-seat arena and a surrounding 26-acre, billion-dollar development project. They hope to be finished by 2024, when their lease expires at Staples Center. The team claims the complex will be funded entirely by owner Steve Ballmer and will require no public money or additional public infrastructure. The Microsoft billionaire is the wealthiest owner in U.S. team sports, and Ballmer said he wants his “Clippers to have the best home in all of sports.” “What that means to me is an unparalleled environment for players, for fans, for sponsors and for the community of Inglewood,” Ballmer added in a statement. “Our goal is to build a facility that re-sets fans’ expectations while having a transformative impact on the city we will call home.” The Clippers hope to build their arena just across the street from the multi-billion-dollar football stadium complex nearing completion. Billionaire Stan Kroenke is building that project, which will house his Los Ringo H.W.

Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers when it opens next year. The Clippers’ arena also would be less than a mile from the Forum. The Lakers’ former home has been transformed by Madison Square Garden Company into a thriving venue for concerts and sports. MSG sued Inglewood last year, alleging fraud and breach of contract over the city’s interest in allowing the Clippers to build an ostensible competing arena just down the street. Ballmer, who bought the Clippers in 2014, told the Los Angeles Times he is “not backing down” in the face of MSG’s litigation. “We will continue.” The renderings for the proposed arena reveal a striking roof with diamond-shaped metal panels designed to look like a basketball going through a net. The designers plan indoor-outdoor garden areas, a concert area and a large plaza for public viewing of games. The project also would house a training complex along with the team’s business and basketball offices. The Clippers currently still train in a Playa Vista facility owned by former team owner Donald Sterling, and their business offices are in downtown Los Angeles. The Clippers want a new home largely because they are third in the unofficial hierarchy at busy Staples Center, which opened downtown in 1999. Even after eight consecutive winning seasons, the Clippers struggle to get prime game dates while waiting behind the behemoth Lakers and the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, who are owned by the same entertainment group that owns the building. Eden Hazard on FIFA 20 cover, talks up Pulisic NEW YORK (AP) — Eden Hazard doesn’t like comparisons. They’ve dogged him throughout his career, especially when talks turn to Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar. But, when asked to compare himself to the man replacing him in the Chelsea midfield, American wunderkind Christian Pulisic, Hazard was happy to elaborate. “He can be one of the best in the future for sure,” he told The Associated Press. Hazard thinks Pulisic can follow in his footsteps. “He can be (a star),” he said. “Now he’s at one of the best clubs in the world,” he said. “He’s a proper player,” Hazard continued. “He can play football.” Hazard made his longawaited move to Real Madrid this summer after months of indication that his days at Chelsea were numbered. Now that he’s at the Bernabéu, he’s tasked with leading a team that is coming off one of its worst seasons in club history, one in which Madrid didn’t come close to winning any major trophy. It is Madrid’s first major signing since Ronaldo left for Juventus last summer. The move for Hazard cost Real about $113 million. There is pressure on the 28-yearold Belgian to win fast. Hazard’s first victory of the summer in a Real Madrid jersey, however, was off the field. He will be the coverman for EA Sports’ FIFA 20 video game. “When you play football, it’s a dream to, first, be in FIFA and then to be on the cover,” Hazard said. “You want to play more often because you’re on the cover,” he added. Hazard has more than that on his mind right now, though. He joins manager Zinedine Zidane, Hazard’s childhood idol, in their attempt to restore Madrid’s esteemed name. Hazard also joins 2018 Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric and striker Karim Benzema in their endeavor to net the goals that haven’t come in Ronaldo’s absence. Hazard’s game has always been predicated on his elusiveness and passing ability — not his scoring. Though he was Chelsea’s leading goal scorer each of the past two seasons, his instincts have always told him to develop for his teammates. He doesn’t plan on altering that in Spain. “I’m not going to change anything. That’s why I’m here,” Hazard said. Hazard comes to Madrid with rudimentary Spanish-speaking skills. Real winger Gareth Bale — who also joined Real from the Premier League for a transfer fee of over $100 million — has been roundly criticized despite his success over the years for his aloofness with teammates due in part to his limited Spanishlanguage abilities. “At the moment, I’m not learning.

Ballmer is eager to have a state-of-the-art new home as another jewel in the Clippers’ remarkable renaissance since he took over. The Clippers unveiled the first look at their proposed complex one day after introducing superstars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George , who agreed to return to their native Southern California earlier in the month. The Clippers are positioned as probable championship contenders in the upcoming year, further burying the franchise’s Sterling-era reputation as penny-pinching losers. Coach Doc Rivers and veteran executive Jerry West have built a consistent winner during Ballmer’s tenure, and they’re in position to be even better in the years ahead. While they still trail the wildly popular Lakers in overall local support, a championshipcontending team and a sparkling new arena would render the old image of this franchise largely unrecognizable. “This feels more like a movement to me, it really does,” Rivers said after Leonard and George were introduced Wednesday.

Hazard is in the United States for a series of exhibitions Real has scheduled, including one against rival Atletico Madrid tonight in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Hazard enjoys New York, as he does Los Angeles and Washington. He likes American culture. But, when informed that many American kids play FIFA, but don’t necessarily follow professional soccer, his eyebrows furrowed. “They will for sure. Because of me on the cover, first, and then they will see me, and then they will watch soccer,” Hazard said with a smile. �COMICS 6B Sunday, July 28, 2019 BLONDIE Sunday Times-Sentinel By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green � RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� 'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO Hank Ketcham’s �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� %\�'DYH�*UHHQ see what’s brewing on the job market.
