The Gallia Board of elections recently voted to consolidate all polling locations within Gallipolis Township to a single location at the activity center and gymnasium of First Baptist Church located at 1100 Fourth Avenue, Gallipolis. Chris Burnett, deputy director of the Gallia Board of Elections, stated the primary goal was to consolidate all single-precinct voting locations within the township to one multiprecinct location for the sake of efficiency. According to a release from the board of elections, it says the Ohio Secretary of State’s Manual says, “Multi-precinct voting locations increase the efficiency by which voters check-in, reduce the possibility of voter confusion, and adapt easily to an e-poll book environment.” Gallia implemented electronic poll books in the 2017 general election. Though all four previous locations in Gallipolis Township were ADA compliant, the board feels the gym at First Baptist Church is even more accessible. The change in location, it says, will allow voters to be under one roof with “plenty of parking” in an ADA compliant facility. “One concern the Democrats and Republicans both had was that we not reduce the current number of precincts,” Burnett said,” so precincts are not changing. We are just moving buildings. The parties can still appoint the same number of poll workers, and central committee members will stay the same.” Polling location changes and voter registration information can be found online at gallianet.net/BOE Below is a list of each precinct’s previous and current location. Gallipolis City One is moving from Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church at 541 Second Avenue in Gallipolis to First Baptist Church. Gallipolis City Two is moving from Grace United Methodist at 600 Second Avenue in Gallipolis to First Baptist Church. Gallipolis City Three is moving from Gallia Early Childhood Center at 77 Mill Creek Road in Gallipolis to First Baptist. Gallipolis Township precinct voters are also moving from the Gallia Senior Citizens Center from 1167 State Route 160 to First Baptist Church in Gallipolis.

According to a press release from the FAC, “Patterson performs folk-rock, Americana and acoustic roots music. Raised in Meigs County, he followed the leanings of his musical family and began performing in public at the age of 14. His early music was strongly influenced by the tight harmonies and strong melodies of the traditional Appalachian and country music around him. A sevenyear stint in New York City, after college, exposed him to a wide array of musical and performance styles and broadened his repertoire by adding Celtic and contemporary folk songs in the mix.” Patterson said, “I learned a great deal, by performing in one of the biggest and most competitive entertainment markets in the country.” The FAC release continued, “Featuring a diverse repertoire, his live acoustic shows are a mixture of favorites, drawn from the deep catalogues of songwriters, such as John Prine, Neil Young, James Taylor and contemporary favorites, such as Josh Ritter. He has performed at a number of events and venues in Ohio and beyond, including Paddy Reilly’s Pub in New York City, the Shamrock Club in Columbus, Merry Ploughboy in Buffalo, New York, and Pier 35 Restaurant in Dublin, Ireland. Regionally, he plays at a variety of restaurants, clubs, wineries, breweries, festivals and private events.” As he says, “It’s important to me that my shows are unique, enjoyable and accessible events for See FLOWERS | 7A See PATTERSON | 5A Photos by Lorna Hart | Courtesy Shelia Curtis received Grand Champion for her entries.

Ginsburg treated for tumor on pancreas By Jessica Gresko and Marilynn Marchione Associated Press WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has completed radiation therapy for a cancerous tumor on her pancreas and there is no evidence of the disease remaining, the Supreme Court said Friday. It is the fourth time that the 86-year-old justice has announced that she has been treated for cancer over the last two decades and follows lung cancer surgery in December that kept her away from the court for weeks. December’s surgery was her first illness-related absence from the court since being appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993 and prompted even closer attention to her health. As the court’s oldest member, Ginsburg has been asked questions for years about her health and retirement plans. She has also in recent years attracted particularly enthusiastic fans as the leader of the liberal wing of the court, which includes four members appointed by Democratic presidents and five by Republicans. Both liberals and conservatives watch her health closely because it’s understood the court would shift right for decades if President Don- J. Scott Applewhite | AP file Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has completed radiation therapy for a cancerous tumor on her pancreas and there is no evidence of the disease remaining, the Supreme Court said Friday. Both liberals and conservatives watch Ginsburg’s health closely after four brushes with cancer. ald Trump were to get the ability to nominate someone to replace her. The court kept Ginsburg’s latest cancer secret for three weeks, until she finished radiation treatment. Yet there is no obligation for justices to disclose details about their health, and Ginsburg has generally made more information available than some of her colleagues. Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, for example, had a stent inserted to open a blocked artery in 2005 but the public only learned about it 10 months later when he returned to the hospital to have it replaced. The Supreme Court said in a statement Friday that a routine blood test led to the detection of Ginsburg’s tumor. A biopsy performed July 31 confirmed a “localized malignant tumor,” and Ginsburg started outpatient radiation therapy Aug. 5. Ginsburg underwent three weeks of radiation therapy and as part of her treatment had a bile duct stent placed, the court said. Ginsburg “tolerated treatment well” and does not need any additional treatment but will continue to have periodic blood tests and scans, the statement said. The tumor was “treated definitively and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body,” the court said. The statement did not say if the new tumor is a recurrence of the pancreatic cancer Ginsburg was diagnosed with in 2009, or a new cancer that arose. She was also treated for colorectal cancer in 1999. “It’s certainly not unheard of for the cancer to come back,” but it’s a more dire situation if it’s that rather than a new tumor that was found early enough for effective treatment, said Dr. Michael Pishvaian, a pancreatic specialist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center who had no first-hand knowledge of Ginsburg’s care. Pancreatic tumors are usually treated with surgery, but she or her doctors may have chosen not to do that for various reasons, and radiation is a standard treatment if surgery is not done, Pishvaian said. Dr. Alan Venook, a University of California, San Francisco, pancreatic cancer specialist who also has no direct knowledge of Ginsburg’s case, said it’s not possible to know much about her outlook without details from her doctors. If it is a recurrence that took a decade to form, “that tells me it’s not a very aggressive cancer,” he said. If the cancer is truly limited to the pancreas, “it could have been managed perfectly well with radiation,” he said. �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS Sharing the harvest pear trees for staff Farming is litand students to erally in Meigs enjoy.

Friendly and dressed in a tuxedo, hoping for an invite to dinner. I resisted at first but eventually gave in and welcomed him into my world, well, onto my back porch. Orca, that was his name. (Did you think it was Bond…James Bond?) Orca was a short-haired tuxedo cat. Clearly dumped or abandoned in downtown Point Pleasant, he somehow found his way into my yard and calmly persisted with his presence. Over the years, I created an outdoor shelter for him on the porch which he used in the winters but in the summers preferred my porch furniture. It was his home base which he always returned to following his tomcat adventures that took him far and wide. Over the years those adventures took a toll on him with wounds from fights and life in general on the streets – much like living outside the comBeth forts of home does to people. There Sergent were times on brutally cold nights OVP Editor he slept in my basement but after a few hours, he always wanted back out into the world he knew best. He did life on his terms. Not a fan of crates or veterinarians, trying to get him “snipped” to curb his tomcat adventures and injuries proved a challenge. He fought being put in the crate, though all was forgiven at dinner time. He would sniff and then almost obnoxiously walk around live traps that were set to catch him for neutering. Living on the streets, for as long as he did, required some level of intelligence that is learned over time and allowed him to survive. I could respect that. The last couple of months I noticed Orca was drooling, having trouble eating. I was able to get him an antibiotic to try and curb infection but his jaw only seemed to swell more and eating was becoming difficult for him, painful even it appeared. I tried for two weeks to catch him to get him to a vet, succeeding a few days ago because I think he honestly felt so bad I was able to outsmart him, distracting him with pats on the head and a larger kennel hidden/waiting nearby that allowed me to push him in before he knew what was happening – but then again, maybe he knew? It seemed too easy now that I think about it. Getting him to the vet was a personal victory. I left the vet’s office thinking (hoping) he had an abscessed tooth that could hopefully be remedied. After all, he survived downtown Point Pleasant for seven years. He could do this. I was leaving for work when the veterinarian called and said he had a cancerous mass in his jaw that was causing him pain and would eventually affect his ability to eat and drink. He would essentially starve to death. “If it was my cat, I would put it down,” the vet said to me. The vet asked if he was some stray cat I’d picked up to help. It was an easy assumption to make, given his unsightly appearance. Despite his independent nature, if anyone “owned” Orca, I guess it was me. It was up to me to decide. Though I wish he could’ve left on his terms, finding some familiar spot to go gentle into that good, feline night, that was not going to be his reality if he came back to the porch for a few more days or weeks. I told the vet to humanely euthanize him, feeling very guilty I was not there with him to say goodbye or apologize for the crate trick. When I expressed this guilt, my significant other asked, “Was wanting to be there for you or him?” They were right. It would’ve prolonged his suffering and more suffering was on his horizon, not some peaceful death if there is such a thing. As a last show of respect, instead of having the vet dispose of Orca as if he was just a stray, he’s being cremated. Nothing fancy mind you. He wouldn’t like that. He was pretty basic. I’ll spread his ashes under my porch swing which had become his place to rest in recent weeks. Maybe I’ll spread him down our street too in strategic places to put other tomcats on alert about encroaching on his territory. He was not meant to be kept inside, not even his ashes. My yard is emptier this week after seven years of having a gatekeeper of sorts who kept his own office hours.

They return again and again until it’s their time – sometimes that’s mostly about dinner but that’s okay. Everyone has reasons for doing everything. I’ve come to understand some people have things like tulips or cardinals that return to comfort them when life gets unrecognizable, some people have porch cats that lay on the tulips, or, uh, eat… the tulips. Everyone should find something that brings them reassurance; that something that is faithfully there; that same thing when everything else, isn’t; that something you will notice when it’s gone.

THEIR VIEW What’s the best time to water plants? Proper watering is an important part of gardening. Lasting damage can occur when leaves and stems wilt. Regular watering helps keep plants and trees growing. Flower and fruit the following spring will be much better with regular watering, and so will fall color. Vegetable gardeners know that even short periods of dryness will permanently stunt some plants, limit fruit size, and cause plants to bolt or go dormant too soon. Landscape plants are no different; they’ll thrive much better with welltimed watering. Many people simply depend on the rain for watering, but normal rainfall isn’t enough to sustain newly-installed plants accustomed to daily watering in the nursery, or vegetable plants that are actively growing. Even established plants can struggle in hot, dry weather. Timing is everything, and rainfall can’t be counted on to get the timing right. Rain often just wets the surface and still the roots can be bone dry. Even an inch of rain won’t soak in deep enough to help larger attention during woody plants. drought.

These are special bags designed to zip around the trunks of trees. They hold 14 gallons of water, trickling it gently into the root zone over an 8 hour period. Filling each bag takes only a few minutes, and twice per week is usually enough. The right watering tool is important. Pistol grip nozzles are for washing cars, not watering plants. They hold back the water and make watering take much longer. Instead, we use a professional model water breaker (Dramm 400AL). What makes this tool superior is the wide opening that doesn’t restrict water flow, and the gentle soaking action of the water breaker spray. If you don’t own a water breaker, just unscrew your pistol-grip nozzle and use your thumb to break the flow.

Samuel Little appeared via Skype from the California state prison where he’s serving multiple life sentences. He admitted in separate hearings that he killed two women in Cincinnati and two in Cleveland. Little is possibly the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history, surpassing others such as John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer. He was convicted in California of three slayings in 2013 and pleaded guilty to another killing last year in Texas. Authorities have said they’ve confirmed at least 60 of the 93 slayings he says he committed in 14 states while he crisscrossed the country for decades. Mark Piepmeier, a Hamilton County prosecutor, said Little told investigators he didn’t kidnap or rape the women, and that he targeted women he didn’t Albert Cesare | The Cincinnati Enquirer via AP Samuel Little pleads guilty to killing two women in Cincinnati in the 1980s while appearing via Skype from the California state prison to the Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati on Friday. Authorities have said they have confirmed at least 60 of the 93 slayings he says he committed in 14 states while he crisscrossed the country for decades. think would be missed right away. Little said he got sexual gratification from strangling women, the prosecutor told the court. “His bare hands on the bare necks, that’s what actually got him sexually aroused and that’s why he did this,” Piepmeier said. “It wasn’t for any other reason.” In Cincinnati, Hamilton County Judge Melba Marsh asked the 79-yearold man a series of questions about giving up his rights to trial that Little answered affirmatively, sometimes with, “Yes, ma’am.” Raising her voice when Little had trouble hearing her, Marsh then sentenced him to two consecutive terms of 15 years to life. Defense attorney Timothy McKenna of Cincinnati told the judge that at this stage in his life, Little wants to help police identify his victims and close cold cases. He also said Little is in failing health. McKenna and Piepmeier flanked Little at a table in the California prison while Marsh conducted the hearing from Cincinnati, in the Hamilton County law library. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien joined Hamilton County authorities in Cincinnati. Little admitted to the 1981 murder of 32-yearold Anna Stewart, last seen alive in Cincinnati. Her body was dumped in Grove City, near Columbus. He also confessed to a second Cincinnati murder, of a woman who remains unidentified. Just hours after being sentenced in Cincinnati, Little pleaded guilty and was sentenced via Skype for the slayings of two women in Cleveland. Authorities said Little strangled to death Mary Jo Peyton, 21, in 1984 and Rose Evans, 32, in 1991. Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo sentenced Little in Cleveland to a minimum of 40 years in prison to be served after the sentences he’s received in Texas, California and Cincinnati. Russo said the pain and suffering Little has caused the families of all the slain women “is not describable.” An attorney for Little read a statement in the Cuyahoga County hearing saying Little “thoroughly apologizes” for the slayings and wants to bring closure to the women’s families. Authorities in the Cleveland area are still investigating a third possible murder by Little there.

Bain explained the importance of knowing the street terms for drugs, because often times, people are talking about the drugs in front of other people, but they’re using terms like “spice,” “spike,” “sidewalk,” “fire,” etc. Bain said he researches street names on websites like urbandictionary.com, erowid.org, and bluelight.org. According to information provided by Powell, Bain and Ohio HIDTA, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania were the top three states, respectively, for provisional drug overdose deaths in 2017. In that year, Ohio had 4,854 deaths due to drugs. Overdose deaths involving methamphetamine increase from 2016 to 2017, as well as those involving cocaine and fentanyl. However, the deaths caused by prescription drugs and heroin are declining. Powell and Bain stressed the importance of speaking up if you suspect drug or alcohol activity. Powell said people should seek help while in “stage one” of drug abuse, rather than waiting until stage three or four. GALLIA, MEIGS CALENDAR Card shower Verta Rece Casto will be 90 on Sept. 4.

The annual Tribute to the River festival, sponsored by the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center, will be held from Aug. 29 Aug.31. This year, an extra day of festivities, plus some new activities will be happening. Jack Fowler, Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center executive director, shared they had some new members on the planning board for this year in result of the Point Pleasant Sternwheel Festival being dissolved and the Point Pleasant Liberty Fest taking its place for a one-day celebration on Independence Day. They all agreed they should extend the Tribute to the River Festival. New activities for the festival goers have been added such as horse drawn carriage rides, pony rides and a petting zoo for the children, as well as more scheduled entertainers. In addition, the river front will be filled with Sternwheelers and recreational boats. Fowler estimated there will be about 22 Sternwheelers and the vessels will begin rolling into the Riverfront Park’s dock beginning tomorrow and all should be in by this coming Friday evening. This should be one of the biggest turnouts of boats the festival has ever seen, commented Fowler. The fireworks show will be an even bigger and better closing event than last year, “exceptional” as Fowler stated. As with last year, patrons have the opportunity to be a sponsor of the fireworks show by purchasing a “boom,” which is one of the rockets of the fireworks show. Each boom costs $25 and people are welcome to purchase as many “booms” as they desire. The sponsor’s name will be announced once during the day and again prior to the shooting of the rockets. The Tribute to the River festival will kick off on Thursday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Riverfront Park in Point Pleasant with an official welcome by Captain Butch Leport, president of the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center Board of Directors. The festival is no cost to attend and various concessions will be open around Riverfront Park. Following the welcome, a DJ will start playing music and festival goers will have a chance to take the mic and sing karaoke should they wish from 7:15 p.m. until 9 p.m. The festivities continue into the weekend. Friday the evening’s events will kick off with the Tribute to the River Queen’s pageant from 6-8 p.m. After the royalty is chosen, the scheduled Mayor’s Night Out event, sponsored by the City of Point Pleasant, will kick off with performer Karen Allen File Photos This year, during the Tribute to the River there should be several interesting Sternwheelers and recreational boats to view down at Riverfront Park. Each year at the Tribute to the River festival time is taken out for a memorial service to remember those who had jobs involving some sort of the river work. The fireworks show is expected to be even bigger and better than last year’s show. Memorial wreaths being laid in the water for the Tribute to the River memorial service. Children will have several activities to participate in this year. Center will present its fireworks show. Fowler shared this is an important year for the Tribute to the River festival as he and his fellow organizers want to see if individuals respond well to these added activities and an extra day of festivities to see if the Tribute to the River can continue to expand. “I’m hoping we’ll get people there who want Tribute to the River is family-friendly event with several activities to spend time near the A view from the many sternwheelers which dock at the riverfront for the adults and children alike. riverfront and enjoy the during the festival. entertainment, looking at the presentation of the Registration for the the different boats, and Lifetime Achievement line throwing competi8-11 a.m. taking the stage until Award by the Point Pleas- the fireworks display,” tion will be from 1-1:45 The Tribute to the 9 p.m. when Stephanie said Fowler. ant River Museum and p.m. with the competiStacy and the Aftermath, River Junior pageant For further information kicking off at 2 p.m. Learning Center will take will be held from 10 sponsored by Country tion on the Tribute to the place from 5:30-8 p.m. a.m.- noon and then from and wrapping up at 4 Road Services, will take River or to purchase a At 8 p.m., Right Turn p.m. noon-4 p.m., children’s the stage and close out Clyde will take the River- boom, contact the river Horse drawn carriage games, pony rides, a petthe evening at 11 p.m. front amphitheater stage museum at 304-674-0144.

For months, the president has ridiculed Powell, who was his own choice to lead the Fed, an independent agency. “As usual, the Fed did NOTHING!” Trump tweeted, adding, “We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed.” He went further by saying: “My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powel (sic) or Chair- man Xi?” — a reference to China’s President Xi Jinping. That remark appeared to elevate his attacks on the Fed to a new level. Many economists have expressed growing alarm about his criticism of the Fed as an intrusion on its independence and a threat to its credibility. David Jones, a leading historian of the Federal Reserve, said the “enemy” remark set an unfortunate precedent.

Leah Sturgeon See DEFENDERS | 2B US men’s basketball falls to Australia, 98-94 MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The U.S. men’s basketball team has lost for the first time in nearly 13 years, falling to Australia 98-94 in a preWorld Cup exhibition game on Saturday. Patty Mills scored 30 points for Australia, which rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half. It was the first loss for the U.S. in a major international tournament or exhibition since the 2006 world championship semifinals against Greece. The Americans won the bronze medal game of that tournament, and then were unbeaten through the cycles for the 2007 FIBA Americas, 2008 Olympics, 2010 World Cup, 2012 Olympics, 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. Add all that up, and it was a 78-game winning streak for the U.S. — the longest in program history. And it’s now over. “They wanted it more than us tonight,” U.S. guard Kemba Walker said. “Lesson learned for us.” USA Basketball is No. 1 in FIBA’s world rankings, but so far in the run-up to this World Cup — with most of the top NBA All-Stars deciding to not play this summer — the Americans have not looked like a lock for more gold. They beat Spain by nine in Anaheim, California on Aug. 16, needed a big second half to defeat Australia by 16 on Thursday, and then let a second-half lead slip away Saturday. Playing against his San Antonio coach, U.S. coach Gregg Popovich, Mills scored Australia’s last 10 points. “It was awesome,” Mills said. Walker scored 22 points for the U.S., and Harrison Barnes had 20. Donovan Mitchell’s 3-pointer with 1:05 left got the U.S. within 97-94, the Americans forced a stop on the ensuing possession and had two chances to tie — but Mitchell’s 3-pointer was off, Joe Harris missed a corner 3 a few seconds later and Mills iced the game with a free throw.

Gallia Academy stings Lady Hornets By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com COAL GROVE, Ohio — Starting 2019 by extending a couple streaks. The Gallia Academy volleyball team won its 44th consecutive Ohio Valley Conference match and its 52nd straight league set on Thursday in Lawrence County, as the Blue Angels began their quest for a fifth straight OVC title with a sweep of host Coal Grove. Gallia Academy (1-0, 1-0 OVC) led wire-to-wire in the opening game, allowing just one service point en route to the 25-11 win. Coal Grove led initially in the second game, but the Blue Angels took the advantage at 10-9 and never trailed again. GAHS won the second game by a 25-15 count to move ahead 2-0 in the match. The guests also led wire-to-wire in the finale, scoring the first five points, and 14 of the first 18 on their way to the match-clinching 25-10 victory.

Sunday Times-Sentinel Southern rallies past Lady Raiders By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — It’s not how you start something, but rather how you finish it. The Southern volleyball team overcame a rough start to pick up its first win of the 2019 campaign on Thursday night following a 13-25, 26-24, 25-13, 25-15 decision over host River Valley in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County. The visiting Lady Tornadoes (1-1) held a pair of one-point leads early in the opener, but the Lady Raiders (1-2) countered with 11 consecutive points and led by at least eight points the rest of the way while taking a 1-0 match edge with the 12-point win. The Silver and Black built their biggest Game 2 lead at 11-5, but SHS broke away from an 18-all tie by taking its largest leads at 22-18 and 24-20. RVHS managed to tie things back up at 24-all, but the guests reeled off Adams led the guests with five service aces and Wolfe also had two aces.

They can occasionally be seen standing in the shallow water, motionless, watching and waiting for prey to come swimming, crawling, slithering, or hopping by. It is a tall, elegant bird, and one of the largest birds found in Ohio, standing nearly four feet tall when fully grown, with long legs and a long beak. While it is called a Great Blue Heron, it is predominately more slate-andrust-colored with a bluish tinge. They have long yellow bills and a mostly white head with a black plume running from the eyes to the back of their heads, and a long, s-shaped, neck.

Many of those aren’t among the 177 men who provided firsthand accounts of sexual abuse by Strauss to the law firm that began investigating allegations for the university last year, Wright said. Many of the men who have publicly recounted their experiences, including the ex-wrestler who spurred the investigation , allege they were fondled during medical exams. Their claims span 1979 to 1997 — nearly all of Strauss’ Ohio State career — and include Strauss’ work with the athletic department, the student health center and his offcampus men’s clinic. The investigating firm, Perkins Coie, didn’t proactively reach out to possible victims, citing concern for potentially retraumatizing them. But the list of accusers has continued to grow as Ohio State publicized the investigation, alumni began sharing stories, and lawyers for the initial plaintiffs advertised a push to hold the university accountable. The lawsuits against Ohio State are now in mediation toward a potential settlement . The lawyers involved won’t publicly discuss the negotiations.

With five weeks remaining, Pridemore currently holds a 12.5point lead over the field with 109.0 points, with Chuck Stanley Sr. as current runner-up with 96.5 points. A total of 63 players were present on Tuesday, making up 15 four-man teams and a one trio. The low score of the day was a 14-under par 56, fired by the quartet of Jim Turley, Mike Fetty, Rick Northup and Fred Pyles. One shot back, in second place, was the team of Steve Safford, Cliff Gordon, Richard Mabe, and Cecil Gillette Jr. The team of Jimmy Gress, Bob Humphrey, Bill Carney and Haskel Jones came in third with an 12-under par 58. The closest to the pin winners were Jack Ocheltree on the ninth hole, as well as Bobby Watson on No. 14. The top-10 standings through six weeks of the 2019 Riverside Senior men’s golf league are as follows: Kenny Pridemore (109.0), Chuck Stanley Sr. (96.5), Jim Gress (92.5) Paul Maynard (91.5), Carl Cline (87.5), Carl Stone (83.5), Dewey Smith (82.0), Bobby Oliver (80.0), Ralph Six (78.5) and Charlie Hargraves (78.0).

It is the third time in Bonecutter’s 10-year tenure as coach of the Big Blacks that he has won the award after also claiming the honors in 2010 and 2012. Bonecutter led PPHS to its fourth Class AA championship in school history this past winter, all of which have come under his tenure as head coach. Bonecutter has also been named the Dix Manning coach of the year at the Class AA state tournament three times (2010, 2011 and 2019) and was also chosen as the WVSSAC coach of the year in 2016. The Big Blacks won state championships as a team in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2019.

Ladies themselves, realizing that many of these bird species were in danger of being driven to extinction, demanded reform culminating in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 which put a stop to the market hunting and plumage trade of wild birds. Today, now safe from the hatmakers, the Great Blue Heron is considered a species of least concern from a conservation standpoint, however humans still pose a constant threat; even something as innocuous as discarded fishing line can trap and eventually kill these large, elegant birds.

Totals confirmed to The Associated Press put the group’s size in the same ballpark as the initial wave of plaintiffs who got $425 million from Michigan State University to settle claims related to Larry Nassar , the now-imprisoned gymnastics doctor accused of molesting hundreds of women and girls. Of the 300-plus men in the Ohio State matter, some still plan to sue and more than half already are listed plaintiffs in federal lawsuits alleging school officials knew of concerns about the late doctor, Richard Strauss, during his tenure but did little to stop him. “This is, from our perspective, aside from the Catholic Church, one of the biggest sexual misconduct cases in the country,” attorney Michael Wright said Friday.

Jones completed a pair of long passes and led the New York Giants to a touchdown during a 25-23 victory over the Bengals on Thursday night in Zac Taylor’s first home game as Cincinnati’s head coach. “I think it’s time to start asking some questions of the people that didn’t like him,” coach Pat Shurmur said. In a GQ article published Tuesday , Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said he was stunned that the Giants drafted the quarterback from Duke in the first round. Mayfield tried to tamp down the comment and texted Jones to explain his remarks. “He just told me it was a miscommunication, a misinterpretation of what he said,” Jones said. “I appreciated him reaching out. I just told him no worries.” Jones got into the game on the Giants’ second series and went 9 of 11 for 141 yards the rest of the half. He had completions of 35 yards to Brittan Golden and 27 yards to Darius Slayton on a seven-play touchdown drive, a solid all-around showing for Eli Manning’s eventual replacement. Manning advised Jones about how to handle the flap with Mayfield. “I thought he did great,” Manning said. “I told him what to say. He didn’t listen to me, though. He took the high road.” Manning led an opening 15-play series that ended in a field goal and included five plays that gained at least 9 yards. Manning was 4 of 8 for 41 yards. In three preseason games, Manning is 9 of 13 for 86 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Golden had a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Giants pulled away. The Bengals distributed 34,887 tickets for the game, fewer than for the first home preseason game last year. They had the secondlowest home attendance in the league last season, part of the impetus to fire Marvin Lewis and bring in Taylor to try to stir fan interest. The Bengals’ new offense under Taylor has struggled to find consistency. Andy Dalton played three series that ended with a couple of punts and a touchdown. Dalton found tight end C.J. Uzomah down the right sideline — he beat safety Jabrill Peppers — for a 26-yard touchdown on his third and final series. Dalton was 7 of 10 for 104 yards behind a mix-and-match line. Andre Smith started at left tackle for Cordy Glenn, who missed practice this week, and moved to right tackle in the second quarter. “I thought we moved the ball well,” Dalton said. “On the first drive, we had some missed communications that we’ve got to get fixed.” Rookie Ryan Finley finished the first half when Dalton left and was 14 of 20 for 155 yards with no interceptions and three sacks. “Obviously there are some things we need to work on, but we showed flashes of the things we can do well,” Uzomah said. REMEMBERING CED The Bengals had a moment of silence pregame for former running back Cedric Benson, who died in a motorcycle accident in Texas over the weekend. Benson played for the Bengals from 2008-11. GO FOR IT The Giants went for it on fourth down twice in the first quarter. They converted a fourth-and-1 to keep Manning’s drive going, and failed on fourth-and-4 on Jones’ first drive. TIGHT END RETURN Giants tight end Evan Engram made his first preseason appearance and caught the one pass thrown his way for 9 yards. ATTENDANCE NUMBERS Last year, the Bengals distributed 35,633 tickets for their first preseason game last year and 39,520 for the second one.

The Buccaneers won 13-12. Bucs rally to beat Browns, 13-12 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The start of the NFL regular season is still a couple of weeks away, and that’s good news for the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who showed they still have a lot of work to do to get ready. And while neither Baker Mayfield nor Jameis Winston played particularly well during the Bucs’ 13-12 preseason victory Friday night at Raymond James Stadium, the young quarterbacks were not overly concerned about a lack of offensive execution. Both teams were missing key players, though Mayfield said that’s not an excuse. The Browns played without star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, among others. “It’s a very easy one to use, to say that we don’t have them out there,” Mayfield said. “Right now we’re looking for people to step up, who’s going to be the consistent number three and four. That’s the frustrating part. We expected people to do their job no matter who it is.” Matt Gay’s 21-yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining was the difference in the end. The rookie’s game-winner capped a 16-play drive lasting more than seven minutes. Cairo Santos booted a 23-yard field goal in the third quarter and third-stringer Ryan Griffin threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Leggett for the Bucs (2-1). Rookie Austin Seibert kicked four field goals for the Browns (2-1), who led 9-0 when Mayfield and the rest of Cleveland’s starters left the game. “Our defense did an amazing job. They definitely kept us in the game,” Winston said. Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 draft, started and played the entire first half after getting just one series of work in Cleveland’s preseason opener against Washington and sitting out last week’s game at Indianapolis. Playing without Beckham (hip) and Landry, the secondyear quarterback led three short field-goal drives and was not particularly sharp while completing 10 of 26 passes for 72 yards and one interception. Winston had an even rockier night, though it wasn’t all his doing. Gay missed a 37-yard field goal and Tampa Bay’s leaky offensive line had difficulty protecting Winston, allowing five sacks while the fifth-year pro was in the game. “We’re going to get that fixed,” Winston said. “I’m not worried about that.” The No. 1 overall pick from the 2015 draft, who’s closing in on becoming the franchise’s career passing leader yet still trying to prove he’s the club’s long-term answer at quarterback, finished 9 of 19 for 88 yards without an interception. Winston played seven series after seeing limited action the previous two weeks against Pittsburgh and Miami. Backup Blaine Gabbert started the second half and led the Bucs into field-goal range before falling awkwardly at the end of an 8-yard scramble and heading to the locker room with a left shoulder injury. Griffin’s TD pass to Leggett gave Tampa Bay a short-lived 10-9 lead late in the third quarter. “His shoulder popped out,” Bucs coach Bruce Arians said of Gabbert. “He was hurting pretty good, but it wasn’t his throwing shoulder. He’ll be all right.” INJURIES Browns: Starting CB Denzel Ward made his preseason debut after missing two games with a minor leg injury. … Coach Freddie Kitchens doesn’t view the third preseason game as a dress rehearsal for the regular season. He’s more concerned with keeping players fresh and healthy for the Sept. 8 opener, so his plan was to determine playing time for regulars on a case-bycase basis. Simmons hoping to join list of impact WVU receivers MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia wide receiver T.J. Simmons is embracing the chance to lead a unit that lost most of its production. An afterthought last season, Simmons is now the focal point of an inexperienced group still trying to fill out a depth chart under new head coach Neal Brown. “No pressure,” Simmons said. “I enjoy it because it keeps me accountable.” Simmons is a junior who transferred from Alabama after the 2016 season. He started half of West Virginia’s games in 2018 and finished fifth on the team with 341 receiving yards on 28 catches. Tevin Bush is the only other returning wide receiver who had more than 10 receptions. Also in the mix are redshirt freshman Sam James and Florida State graduate transfer George Campbell, who had 13 career catches. Brown also hopes Temple sophomore transfer Sean Ryan will be granted immediate eligibility. Simmons will try to continue a decade-long tradition of high-impact pass catchers that included Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Kevin and Ka’Raun White and, over the past two seasons, David Sills V and Gary Jennings Jr. Sills caught 18 TDs in 2017 and combined with Jennings for 1,900 receiving yards and 28 scores last year. West Virginia also lost speedster Marcus Simms, the team’s third-leading receiver, and dependable tight end Trevon Wesco. “It’s not your perfect situation,” Brown said. “T.J. Simmons is the only experience we have. We’re making steady improvement. I think that’s the position group that will benefit the most by going back to the video and then making some corrections.” Simmons, who also became a father shortly before the start of fall camp, said Sills and Jennings taught him more about the mind than the hands — to stay levelheaded and maintain a professional attitude. “No matter if times get hard or if times are good, they tried to always keep that same work ethic, bring that same type of intensity to practice and try to get better each and every day,” Simmons said. “And that’s something I try to do. I try to push myself even if I’m down mentally or not feeling it on a certain day. Because I’m the focal point of the receiving corps.” Simmons’ goal is simply doing whatever he can for the team, and scoring touchdowns will be a must. His lone 2018 TD catch came in the opener against Virginia Tech. He’s had to fend off lingering criticism for drawing a penalty for finishing a block on an opponent well out of bounds that negated a long run late against Oklahoma. The close loss kept West Virginia out of the Big 12 championship game. Simmons uses that memory as a teaching tool as West Virginia prepares to open the season at home Aug. 31 against FCS James Madison. “I definitely do think about it, especially when we’re doing perimeter blocking or when somebody makes a good block on the sideline,” he said. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, August 25, 2019 5B Browns join fray in wide-open AFC North (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with the Point Pleasant Register?

Osaka back in New York It certainly didn’t start that way, as she backed up the U.S. Open title by winning the next major at the Australian Open, and eventually climbed to No. 1 in the WTA rankings. But the 21-year-old lost in the third round at the French Open and was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon, then took about a month off before starting her hardcourt season in Toronto. Before ending that break, Osaka wrote a lengthy social media post in which she said she’d had some of the worst months of her life and probably hadn’t had fun playing tennis since Australia. Things have since changed, she said. “I took, like, a break sort of and kind of relaxed my mind and realized that you have to have fun doing what you love,” Osaka said. “For me, I love tennis. Sometimes I feel like I don’t, but I wake up every morning and if I don’t play, I feel like I kind of have done nothing during the day.” She went on to reach the quarterfinals in both events since, but had to stop playing in the third set of her match against Sofia Kenin in the Western & Southern Open because of discomfort in her left knee. She wouldn’t specify the nature of the injury, but said she’s able to play more lately and is healing well. And like the knee pain, the frustrations with tennis will eventually lessen as well. “I’m sure it’s going to be OK. I think time will help her to get back to normal,” said fellow Japanese star Kei Nishikori, a friend and the 2014 U.S. Open runner-up. “I think it’s normal to have that feeling. Of course, she suddenly gets No. 1, winning two Grand Slams, be No. 1, like straightaway. She’s still young.” She can rely on her comfort in New York and her confidence on its courts, unlike some players. Wimbledon champion Simona Halep has been knocked out in the first round the last two years and has acknowledged that the bright lights and the big city aren’t exactly her scene. She’s working on it, going out to restaurants in the city and spending time in Central Park, in hopes that the noise in the arena won’t be so jarring once she takes the court. “I try to adjust myself as much as possible to this atmosphere. It’s loud and it’s different. Many people around,” Halep said. “I like it, but being a spectator. Being a player, it’s a little bit tougher for me, but year by year I’m getting better. So I have to work to improve more.” Osaka doesn’t have to worry about that, having lived in the city for around five years when she was younger. She made it to the third round in 2016 and ‘17 before her breakthrough last September, and that has her thinking the next few weeks will be better than her previous few months.

New Address Fri Mofor-Eta, MD, FACOG 2520 Valley Drive, Suite G12 Point Pleasant, WV 25550 304.857.6503 OH-70144638 NEW YORK (AP) — Everything felt better for Naomi Osaka once she returned to the U.S. Open. The knee injury that forced her to retire during her last match no longer is so painful. The disappointment with her tennis that led her last month to say she wasn’t having fun playing has been replaced by calmness. When she comes back to Flushing Meadows, she’s a champion. And in many ways, she’s home. “Yeah, I mean, I feel like I have a familiarity,” Osaka said Friday. “That’s not because I won last year. It’s because I have been kind of hitting on these courts since I was a kid. I used to train here.” All that training paid off last year for the Japan native who moved to New York at age 3, when she beat Serena Williams in the tense and turbulent final for her first major title. The aftermath of the match was a battle of emotions for Osaka, the thrill of victory mixed with sadness over watching Williams’ meltdown after chair umpire Carlos Ramos had given her a warning for receiving coaching during the match. Osaka, the No. 1 seed for the tournament that begins Monday, has put that night behind her. She declined Friday to discuss her relationship with Williams, who subsequently apologized to Osaka. Besides, she’s had plenty of tougher times in tennis in the year since.
