POMEROY — More
than nine months after
a Meigs County jury
returned 24 guilty verdicts in the case against
former corrections and
probation ofﬁcer Larry
Tucker, he returned to
the courtroom where
he used to work to be
sentenced on the charges Wednesday.
Judge Linton Lewis,
who was assigned to
the case, heard testimony or nine witnesses,
including an expert for
the defense and prosecution, regarding the
sexually violent predator speciﬁcation on the
kidnapping and sexual
battery charges.
Tucker, 57, of Pomeroy, was convicted on
May 2, 2019 of 24 of
the 25 charges considered by the jury in the
case against him.
Tucker worked as

a corrections ofﬁcer
at the Middleport Jail
and as a Meigs County
Common Pleas Court
probation ofﬁcer and
bailiff. Tucker allegedly
sexually assaulted or
attempted to sexually assault 12 different
inmates and/or probationers between January 2011 and November 2017.
The jury found him
guilty on six counts of
kidnapping, six counts
of sexual battery, ﬁve
counts of attempted
sexual battery, four
counts of gross sexual
imposition, one count
of soliciting, one count
of attempting to compel
prostitution and one
count of theft in ofﬁce.
The lone not guilty verdict came on a misdemeanor count of sexual
imposition.
Tucker had waived
the jury hearing
the sexually violent
predator speciﬁcations, deferring to
Judge Lewis to make
the decision on those.
Lewis ultimately found
Tucker innocent of

US appeals judges
hear Down syndrome
abortion arguments
CINCINNATI (AP) — Federal judges on Wednesday
sharply questioned attorneys
on both sides of an Ohio
law that faces doctors with a
felony charge if they perform
abortions aimed at preventing
the birth of a baby with Down
syndrome.
Jessie Hill, an attorney for
the ACLU of Ohio, argued
that the law seeks unconstitutionally to take “the ultimate
decision” on abortion away
from the woman. Benjamin
Flowers, Ohio’s solicitor general, said it seeks to prevent
abortions that target and discriminate against those with
Down syndrome, which would
send them a message that
people including some medical providers “do not think
people like you are as valuable
as others.”
The case is viewed as pivotal in the national debate
over the procedure. The 6th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
heard the arguments in a rare
full-court hearing before 15
judges on a court that has
moved rightward in recent
years with Republican President Donald Trump making
six appointments.
Attorneys for the government contend in legal ﬁlings
that the sidelined 2017 law
does not infringe on a woman’s constitutional rights —
because it “does not prohibit
any abortions at all.”
Judge Raymond Kethledge,
an appointee of Republican
President George W. Bush,
indicated agreement with
the government in his questions, suggesting that the
Ohio law “strikes a balance
between two extremes.” Other
judges questioned whether it
stands up under existing law
on abortion and whether it
encourages women to mislead
their doctors.
The Ohio law prohibits
physicians from performing an abortion if they’re
aware that a diagnosis of
Down syndrome, or the possibility, is inﬂuencing the
decision. They could face a
fourth-degree felony charge,
be stripped of their medical
license, and be held liable for
legal damages. The pregnant
woman faces no criminal

liability under the law.
This and similar proposals
around the country have triggered emotional debate over
women’s rights, parental love,
and the trust between doctor
and patient.
Hill said the law would “cut
off communication between a
woman and her doctor.”
Judge Jeffrey Sutton, another George W. Bush appointee,
countered: “We don’t want
our doctors knowingly doing
selective abortions.”
The Trump Justice Department took the state of Ohio’s
side in the case in January,
writing, “Nothing in Ohio’s
law creates a substantial
obstacle to women obtaining
an abortion.”
Justice Department attorney Alexander Maugeri told
the judges Wednesday that
the “Ohio law serves an
important purpose” and lets
people with Down syndrome
know they “have lives that
are worth living.”
Opponents call the law an
illegal “reason ban.” They
say it undercuts the woman’s
independent decision-making
by attempting to get into her
mind, or prevent her from
speaking freely with her doctor, as she makes an abortion
decision.
Wednesday’s high-stakes
hearing follows two earlier
decisions in which a federal
judge and a three-judge panel
ruled the law is likely unconstitutional. It has been on
hold since it was enacted.
In another of the Ohio
case’s legal twists, a group
of mothers whose children
have Down syndrome has
sided with the ACLU of
Ohio, Preterm-Cleveland
and other abortion providers
who brought the suit. They
argue the law — dubbed the
“Ohio Down Syndrome NonDiscrimination Act” — actually perpetuates discrimination against their children
by singling out their genetic
anomaly over others.
Down syndrome is a genetic
disorder that can cause a
variety of physical and mental
disabilities. It occurs in about
one in 700 babies born in the
U.S. each year, or about 6,000
annually.

Sanders not dropping out
By Steve Peoples,
Wilson Ring
and Will Weissert
Associated Press

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Bernie Sanders is vowing to press
ahead with his presidential
campaign at least long enough
to debate Joe Biden this weekend, even while acknowledging
his deﬁcit in the Democratic
race may be insurmountable.
The Vermont senator on
Wednesday offered no further
details on what his campaign
may look like before or after
he and Biden — the last two
major candidates vying for
the Democratic presidential
nomination — spar Sunday
night on stage in Arizona. The
only thing on Sanders’ public
schedule was taping an appearance on Wednesday’s “Tonight
Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
And that will continue to
raise questions — as unlikely
as it may seem less than two
weeks after losing his once
commanding front-runner status — about how long Sanders
will persist against increasingly daunting odds, especially
as the pressure within his own
party increases exponentially.
Sanders addressed reporters
in Burlington after offering
no public statements Tuesday
night, when he suffered a devastating defeat in Michigan
and losses in Missouri, Idaho
and Mississippi. Sanders noted
that he won North Dakota and
that the continuing count in
Washington state remained
close — but admitted he was
trailing badly in the race to
secure enough delegates to
secure the nomination before
the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee.
“While our campaign has
won the ideological debate,
we are losing the debate over
electability,” Sanders said,
meaning Democrats think
Biden has a better chance
of beating President Donald
Trump in the fall. “That is
what millions of Democrats
and independents today
believe.”
He was quick to add that he
thinks he’s the stronger choice,
and that he could show that
during Sunday’s debate. Sanders promised to press Biden
for answers about millions of
Americans who don’t have
health insurance, a criminal

Charles Krupa | AP

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., walks to his car
after speaking to reporters on Wednesday in Burlington, Vt. Despite serious
losses to fomer Vice President Joe Biden in Tuesday’s primaries, Sanders
said he thinks he’s the stronger choice to be the presidential nominee of the
Democratic Party.

justice system he said unfairly
targets and punishes minorities and raising the federal
minimum wage.
After that, though, Democrats’ desperate desire to
defeat Trump could affect his
calculus. Should Sanders get
out soon, he could save Democrats months of a messy and
expensive primary ﬁght. But
an early departure would also
deprive the party’s most passionate supporters, including
many young people, of the one
man who embodies the dramatic change they crave.
Sanders also noted that he
was winning a greater percentage of young voters while
Biden continues to run up the
score with older ones.
“Today, I say to the Democratic establishment, in order
to win in the future, you need
to win the voters who represent the future of our country,”
Sanders said. “And you must
speak to the issues of concern
to them. You cannot simply be
satisﬁed by winning the votes
of people who are older.”
Sanders has indeed been
widely favored over Biden by
voters under 30, but he has
not delivered on his strategy
of getting them to the polls in
great numbers, according to
AP VoteCast surveys of voters in Tuesday’s Democratic
primaries. Also problematic
for him: Sanders showed no
overwhelming strength with
voters age 30 to 44, typically
a larger share of the vote than
the very young, in Michigan
and Missouri.

That Sanders was vowing
to soldier on was hardly a surprise. The 78-year-old democratic socialist is nothing if not
willing to take on the political
establishment against all odds
— and Sanders’ closest allies
are happy to see him stay in
the race, even if the rest of the
party is not.
“The process of unity isn’t
just this pie-in-the-sky, vague,
butterﬂies-in-your-tummy type
of feeling,” New York Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one
of Sanders’ highest proﬁle supporters, said Wednesday in an
interview on Capitol Hill. “It
requires real coalition building,
and coalition building requires
plans and commitments to
electorates to ﬁgure out how
we unify. And so I think that
this is a good opportunity for
us to come together.”
RoseAnn DeMoro, former
executive director of National
Nurses United and a Sanders
conﬁdant, said Sanders “has
a mandate not to abandon the
movement.”
“Heroes aren’t made, they’re
cornered,” DeMoro said. “He
is cornered.”
Four years ago, under
similar pressure in a primary
match-up against Hillary Clinton, Sanders fought on for
months before ultimately backing Clinton in July. Sanders
has repeatedly insisted that he
and Biden are friends and that
he will back the former vice
president if he’s the party’s
nominee — he just may not be
ready to yet follow through on
that promise.

Seventy of Massachusetts’ 92 confirmed cases

At least 11 people who have tested positive

linked to the Feb. 26-27 meeting, including five
in North Carolina, two in Indiana, and one each
in New Jersey and Tennessee, officials said.
Two tested positive in Europe, Biogen spokesman David Caouette said Wednesday.

States shuffle poll locations
to protect seniors from virus
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — The threat
of the coronavirus
is upending voting
in certain precincts
as elections ofﬁcials
remove polling places
from nursing homes to
protect senior citizens
who may be more susceptible to the virus.
Last-minute shufﬂing left voters in
Michigan and Missouri
scrambling to get to
new polling places for
their Tuesday primaries. Ofﬁcials in states
voting next week are
trying to get ahead of
those disruptions by
announcing changes
now and beginning
public information
campaigns to tell voters
where they are supposed to cast ballots.
In Ohio, the elections chief on Monday
ordered the relocation
of all polling places at
nursing homes — more
than 140 — just eight
days ahead of the primary.
“Obviously, that’s a
big step and it requires
a lot of work — and our
county boards of elections are working to do
that right now, as we
speak,” Republican Secretary of State Frank
LaRose told reporters
Tuesday.
Moving the polling
places may be the right
public health move, but
it creates challenges
for election administrators. Those include
informing voters in surrounding areas of the
change and ensuring
retirement community
residents have transportation to their new
polling location.
Secretaries of state
across the country are
taking further steps to
guard public health:
encouraging voting
from a distance —
either by mail or by
using curbside drop-off
locations — creating
and updating dedicated
websites, partnering
with voting rights
organizations and campaigns to get the word
out, and stocking up
on plenty of supplies
for disinfecting voting
machines.
In Missouri, ofﬁcials
had to react quickly
after two senior living
facilities backed out
of serving as voting
sites less than 24 hours
before polls opened for
Tuesday’s presidential primary. Election

authorities posted signs
at the senior facilities
redirecting voters to
new polling places
nearby.
A spokeswoman for
Brookdale Senior Living, the Kansas City
facility’s operator, said
the company adopted
a policy Monday prohibiting groups of three
or more people from
entering any of its
more than 700 facilities
nationwide because of
coronavirus concerns.
Brookdale also suspended all planned
group outings, meaning
it couldn’t take residents by bus to the new
voting location. Some
residents drove themselves or got rides from
relatives or friends to
the alternative polling
place.
In Michigan, two
private senior facilities requested polling
places in their buildings
be relocated because of
coronavirus concerns,
Michigan Secretary of
State spokesman Jake
Rollow said in an email.
For most people, the
new coronavirus causes
only mild or moderate symptoms, such as
fever and cough. For
some, especially older
adults and people with
existing health problems, it can cause more
severe illness, including
pneumonia. The vast
majority of people who
get it recover.
As Ohio, Florida,
Illinois and Arizona
prepare to vote next
week, ofﬁcials are taking varying approaches
to the virus threat.
In Florida’s Lake
County, where a quarter of the population
is over 65, elections
supervisor Alan Hays
said relocation is not
necessary. Only residents of nursing homes
and assisted living
facilities vote there,
he said, so they are
shielded from outsiders
even under normal circumstances.
The state’s most
populous county,
Miami-Dade, also has
no plans to move any
polling places because
of the virus.
Steven Vancore, a
spokesman for the
elections supervisor in
Broward County, said
just one polling place
at an assisted living
facility was being relocated at the management’s request. He said

ofﬁcials in the state’s
second-most populous county already
expected low Election
Day turnout because
only Democrats have a
contested presidential
primary and two-thirds
of voters cast ballots by
mail or at early voting
sites.
“We are not going to
be having long lines,”
he said.
In Illinois, Gov. J.B.
Pritzker said the state
has asked all 108 local
boards of elections that
administer voting to
extend the deadline to
apply for a mail-in ballot until Monday. But
that decision has to be
made by each agency,
Pritzker said Wednesday morning.
He also said the state
and the city of Chicago
will help move polling
places out of nursing
homes and other senior
facilities, while ensuring that residents still
can cast ballots there.
“We’re doing our
best to accommodate
everybody to make sure
that we get the kind of
vote turnout that we
expect,” he said.
Chicago Mayor Lori
Lightfoot said her
administration was
urging the city’s Board
of Election Commissioners to extend its
deadline for requesting
mail-in ballots. She also
suggested voters use
in-person early voting
locations.
“There’s plenty of
opportunities to go on
a one-off basis and not
en masse,” Lightfoot
said. “We are one of
the most open states
regarding opportunities
for people to vote other
than going on Election
Day and we encourage
people to do that.”
Marisel Hernandez,
chair of Chicago’s
Board of Election
Commissioners, said
Wednesday that 25 of
the city’s 269 polling
sites, including nursing
homes, must be relocated before Tuesday
because of health concerns.
Chicago ofﬁcials
expressed doubt about
extending their deadline to request a mail-in
ballot until Monday, as
the governor and mayor
suggested, because they
said that would put
pressure on the postal
service and voters.
Election ofﬁcials
in the Phoenix area

moved ﬁve polling
places from assisted
living or other senior
care facilities to protect
those residents from
the virus, according
the Maricopa County
Elections Department,
but about eight in 10
voters there cast ballots
by mail, limiting polling
site trafﬁc.
Ohio, which is under
a statewide emergency
because of the virus, is
doing perhaps the most
among Tuesday primary states to respond
to virus concerns. But
Kristen Clarke, president of the Lawyers’
Committee for Civil
Rights under Law, is
worried.
“In Ohio, I expect a
lot of confusion next
week,” she said, noting
the shrinking number
of days to get the word
out about new polling locations. Election
ofﬁces often can’t reach
voters through emails
or texts, she said, and
media such as newspapers have limited reach.
She said that it could
be even worse in places
that decide even later
to move voting locations.
At virtually all polling places that remain
in place, workers are
being trained to disinfect machines regularly
throughout Election
Day. Major voting system vendor ES&amp;S said
it has shared best practices on cleaning and
disinfecting the surfaces of its equipment,
including touchscreens.
Amber McReynolds,
a former Denver election administrator who
is now the executive
director of the National
Vote at Home Institute,
an advocacy group, said
election ofﬁcials should
be preparing for major
changes for November
even as they’re running
primaries now.
She said it’s not
enough just to encourage people to request
absentee ballots. Rather, she said, ofﬁcials
should try to do what
a handful of states —
Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah and Washington — do already and
mail ballots to every
voter. A version of that
model is also being
used for the ﬁrst time
this year in Democratic
caucuses in Alaska,
Hawaii and Wyoming
and the party’s primary
in Kansas.

Rio softball
continues Spring
Break onslaught
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The University of
Rio Grande softball team continued their Spring
Break onslaught on Tuesday, piling up 27 runs in a
pair of mercy rule-shortened victories at the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic.
The RedStorm pounded Haskell Indian Nation
University (Kan.), 15-0 in ﬁve innings, before
ripping Holy Family (Wis.) College, 12-2 in ﬁve
innings, at the North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex.
Rio Grande improved to 10-12 with the wins
over the NAIA independents, running its win
streak to six straight in the process.
Tuesday’s opener against Haskell (Kan.) saw
Rio bang out 14 hits and score in all but one of its
ﬁve at bats.
The RedStorm scored twice in each of the ﬁrst
two innings, four times in the fourth and ﬁnished
off the win with seven markers in the ﬁfth inning.
Sophomore Kenzie Cremeens (Ironton, OH)
went 3-for-4 with three doubles and four runs batted in to pace the Rio offense, while senior Lexi
Philen (Tallmadge, OH) was 3-for-4 with a triple
and three RBI.
Sophomores Zoe Doll (Minford, OH) and Lexi
Hart (Johnstown, OH) added two hits each in
the win, while sophomore Taylor Webb (Willow
Wood, OH) had two RBI and the duo of junior
Morgan Santos (Dayton, OH) and freshman Chase
Arndt (Clyde, OH) both doubled and drove in a
run.
Sophomore Viv Capozella (Dover, OH) picked
up the win in the pitcher’s circle, allowing two hits
and two walks to go along with ﬁve strikeouts in a
complete game outing.
Sabrina Branch started and took the loss for
the Fighting Indians (3-8), allowing nine hits and
eight runs over four innings.
In the second game of the day, Rio Grande spotted Holy Family a 1-0 ﬁrst inning lead before roaring to life with ﬁve runs in the third inning, four
runs in the fourth and three runs in the ﬁfth to
force an early conclusion to the contest.
Philen led the RedStorm’s 17-hit attack by going
4-for-4 with two triples and a run batted in, while
freshman Emily Crossen (Ashland, OH) was 2-for4 with a double and a career-high four RBI.
Santos added two hits, including a double, and
two RBI to the winning effort, while Webb was
2-for-3 with a triple and Cremeens was 2-for-4 with
a double.
Senior Brooke Hoffman (Columbus Grove, OH)
also had two hits in the winning effort and Arndt
drove in a pair of runs.
Trinity Nolan had two of Holy Family’s four hits
and drove in both of its runs.
Nolan also took the loss in the circle for the Lakers (0-4).
Rio Grande will conclude its schedule in the
Classic on Wednesday morning against Penn State
University-Beaver and Penn State UniversityFayette.

White leads Bulls past Cavaliers

Cavs reward
Bickerstaff
with contract

CHICAGO (AP) — Coby
White scored 20 points to help
offset a career-high nine turnovers in his ﬁrst NBA start, and
the Chicago Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-103 on Tuesday night.
The Bulls won their 22nd game
to match their total from last
season, though they didn’t think
it would take this long. They
expected to make a bigger jump
sooner in the Eastern Conference.
One bright spot lately is White,
the No. 7 overall draft pick. The
rookie turned in his ninth straight
game with at least 19 points.
“I thought he competed,” coach
Jim Boylen said. “He was on
(Collin) Sexton a lot. That guy’s a
hard guy to guard. He’s fast, he’s
strong. I thought Coby was a twoway player tonight. I thought he
showed his burst. … That looked

CLEVELAND (AP) — J.B. Bickerstaff’s impressive
start with the Cavaliers has been rewarded.
Bickerstaff, who has Cleveland playing its best
basketball this season since taking over when John
Beilein suddenly resigned last month, agreed to a
multi-year contract with the team on Tuesday.
The Cavs announced the deal with Bickerstaff
shortly before their game in Chicago, where they
started a six-game trip.
Terms of the deal were not immediately known.
Although they still have one of the NBA’s worst
records, the Cavs have shown major improvement
in a short period under Bickerstaff. They’re 5-5
going into Tuesday’s game against the Bulls and
the Cavs have had more energy and exhibited more
togetherness than at any time for Beilein.
“They bought in automatically,” Bickerstaff said
before tip-off in Chicago. “They’re competing, playing together and doing all the things we’ve been
trying to push. They’ve led the way and made it
easy for us as coaches. It’s exciting just to be a part
of it. They’re obviously the ones that are gonna
carry us.
“It’s our jobs as coaches to just steer the ship a
little bit.”
Bickerstaff was promoted after Beilein stepped
down after 54 games in his ﬁrst season. He had
been serving as an associate head coach under
the 67-year-old Beilein, who cited personal health
issues as one of his reasons for leaving a job he
thought he was ready to handle.
“We are very fortunate to have someone of J.B.’s
caliber and basketball pedigree lead our franchise as
head coach,” said general manager Koby Altman. “His
wealth of experience, coupled with the respect he has
garnered around the NBA and with this team, has
made for a seamless transition from associate head
coach to head coach.
“The amount of grit and determination instilled in
our players, from both an accountability and attention
to detail standpoint over this short period of time,
has been met with admiration, respect and overall
excitement throughout our entire locker room. We
have already observed the impact he has made on our
players through his ﬁrst 10 games as head coach and
we are looking forward to seeing just how far he can
effectively drive our developing culture and lead this
franchise into the future.”
Over the weekend, the Cavs won consecutive tight
games over Denver and San Antonio. Earlier this
season, the club’s inexperience would cripple the Cavs
in the closing minutes of games. Cleveland has also
won three games against teams with over .500 records
and the Cavs have improved their scoring and assist
totals.
The 41-year-old Bickerstaff previously coached in
Houston and Memphis before coming to Cleveland.
He led the Rockets to the playoffs in 2015-16.

Ivy League cancels tournaments; 2 other conferences bar fans
and people with existing
health problems, it can
cause more severe illness,
including pneumonia. The
vast majority of people
recover from the new
virus.
Conference tournaments have been going
on all over the country
since last week at venues
big and small. Most of the
biggest conferences, such
as the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, begin
their men’s tournaments
this week at large arenas
in major cities.
The NCAA men’s and
women’s Division I tournaments begin next week.
The NCAA responded
quickly to the Ivy League’s
announcement, saying it

executives and some highproﬁle announcers, such
as Jim Nantz and Charles
Barkley.
CBS Sports chairman
Sean McManus and
Jeff Zucker, chairman of
WarnerMedia News and
Sports, said the NCAA
is in constant contact
with its television partners. They said decisions
regarding whether to
postpone or cancel games
or limit fan access to venues will be made solely by
the NCAA.
“Obviously, it would be
a different atmosphere
and we wouldn’t be focusing as we often do on the
excitement of the fans,”
McManus said. “The basketball game is still going
to be produced as it would
if there are fans in the
stands.”
The Ivy League also
announced Tuesday it
will limit spectators at
all other sporting events
for the rest of the spring
season.
The Princeton, New
Jersey-based league said
the decision was made
in “accordance with the
guidance of public health
and medical professionals to discourage and
limit large gatherings on

schools and conferences
make their own decisions regarding regular
season and conference
tournament play,” NCAA
president Mark Emmert
said Tuesday in a statement. “As we have stated,
we will make decisions on
our events based on the
best, most current public
health guidance available.”
A few hours later, DeWine announced his recommendation for all high
school, college and professional teams in Ohio to
play without spectators
in attendance, the NCAA
released a another brief,
less deﬁnitive statement.
“We are consulting with
public health ofﬁcials and
our COVID-19 advisory
panel, who are leading
experts in epidemiology
and public health, and
will make decisions in the
coming days,” the NCAA
said.
The ﬁrst four games of
the NCAA men’s tournament are scheduled to be
played in Dayton, Ohio,
and ﬁrst- and secondround games are scheduled for Cleveland on
March 20 and 22.
CBS and Turner Sports

campuses in light of the
coronavirus (COVID-19)
situation.”
Ivy League Executive
Director Robin Harris
said in a phone interview
with the AP Tuesday
afternoon that the league
presidents had been
talking for a few weeks
about contingency plans.
It wasn’t until Tuesday
morning that the presidents decided to call off
the tournament.
“They’ve devoted a
lot of time to this. It’s
a decision they didn’t
take lightly,” Harris said.
“They consulted with
their experts on campus.
They are groups that are
meeting many times a day
developing policies. We
are so devastated for the
student-athletes.”
Harris said the decision
wasn’t about the location.
It was about “the gathering of a group that would
be larger than our schools
are allowing on their
campus for non-athletic
events,” she said.
Harris said a gym without fans would still have
too many people in the
building because of the
travel parties of the eight
teams and those working
the event.
The league said all tickets will be refunded and
ticket holders with questions should contact the
Harvard ticket ofﬁce.
The women’s tournament was scheduled to
start Friday night, with
top-seeded Princeton
facing Columbia and No.
2 seed Penn facing Yale.
The winners were to meet
Saturday in the championship game.
Columbia, which was to
play in the women’s tournament for the ﬁrst time,
was about to start practice when coach Megan

What to expect during a

bathroom remodel
T

here are many reasons to renovate a home. Some
homeowners purchase fixer-uppers and commit
to making major renovations before they even
move in, while others may renovate their homes with
an eye on resale value. But many homeowners also take
on renovation projects to make the homes more livable
for themselves.
Bathroom renovations are popular projects. In fact, a
2018 survey from the National Association of Home
Builders found that bathroom remodels are the
most popular remodeling projects. But just because

PHDQ�WKH\·UH�HDV\�WR�HQGXUH��.QRZLQJ�ZKDW�WR�H[SHFW�
during a bathroom remodel can help homeowners get
through the renovation process.

Cost
Bathroom remodeling projects
can be expensive. According to
5HPRGHOLQJ�PDJD]LQH·V�´&amp;RVW�
vs. Value 2019” report, a midrange bathroom remodeling
project cost an average of
$20,420 in 2019, while an
upscale remodel cost just
under $64,000. Homeowners
should develop budgets for
their bathroom renovation
projects to determine which
type of project they can afford.
In addition, setting aside a
little extra money for overruns
is a wise move that can help

homeowners handle any
unforeseen expenses that arise
during the project.

Noise
Few home renovation projects
can be undertaken quietly,
and bathroom renovations
tend to generate a lot of noise.
The noise can be difficult to
overcome for professionals
who work from home fulltime, and it also can be hard
on parents of young children
ZKR�VWLOO�QDS�DQG�GRQ·W�\HW�JR�
to school. Parents of young
children may find it best to

delay bathroom renovation
projects until their children are
school-aged and out of the
house for most of the day on
weekdays.

Mess
The debris generated by
bathroom renovation projects
is another thing homeowners
must prepare for. In addition
to preparing for the waste
generated by the project, firsttime renovators must realize
that dust might be a big issue
once the project begins. Dust

of young children may want to
schedule renovations during
family vacations so their
children are exposed to as
little dust as possible.

completing a project or force
homeowners to change their
plans to make the project stay
as close to their budgets as
possible. Recognizing that
these decisions may have
to be made on the fly can
help homeowners feel more
prepared when unexpected
issues arise.

Changes

Bathroom renovation projects
are worthwhile investments.
Knowing what to expect during
a bathroom renovation project
can help homeowners handle
all the twists and turns that
may arise.

Few renovations go off without
a hitch. Once a project begins,
contractors often uncover

K

itchens are popular gathering
spots in many homes. That
popularity is reflected in
various ways, including how many
homeowners choose to remodel their
kitchens.
A 2019 report from the home
renovation and design resource Houzz
found that kitchens were the most
popular room to renovate in 2018.
Homeowners considering kitchen
remodels should know that the Houzz
report also indicated that spending
on kitchen remodels increased by 27
percent in 2018.

expensive one. Such cabinets are
designed to adhere to the dimensions

notes that they can cost tens of
thousands of dollars. If that estimate
would bust your budget, examine the
current layout of the existing cabinets.
If the layout is fine but the cabinets
need work, you can give them a whole
new look by refinishing them. If the
cabinets must go, stock units or
semi-custom cabinets can provide a
new look without busting the budget.
Kitchen remodels can be expensive.

Improve storage

Thursday, March 12, 2020 3B

3 COMMON DIY MISTAKES

to avoid

at home
KDQJLQJ�URG�V\VWHPV��&amp;XVWRPL]LQJ�
closets using track systems or other
modifications can improve utility of all
closets in the house.

Invest in storage beds
Storage beds typically feature cubbies
or drawers within a platform-style bed
IUDPH��,W·V�D�SUDFWLFDO�KRPH�VWRUDJH�
solution, and does not require any
building.

Think vertically
Maximize spaces by looking up and
down for storage possibilities. Items
that are not used frequently, such
as seasonal decorations or travel
suitcases, can be stored in high
spaces. Shelving on walls can go as
high as necessary and be put to use in
awkward wall areas, such as in corners
or under eaves.

H

omes are getting bigger, but
it seems like people are still
lamenting a lack of storage
space.
National Public Radio says the average
American home has nearly tripled
in size during the last 50 years.
Despite that, 10 percent of Americans
still need to rent off-site storage,
according to a report in The New York
Times Magazine. Self-storage facilities
are one of the fastest-growing
commercial real estate segments, and
the Self Storage Association says there
are more than 50,000 storage facilities
in the U.S. alone. The commercial
UHDO�HVWDWH�FRPSDQ\�&amp;%5(��/WG���VD\V�
there are roughly 3,000 self-storage
IDFLOLWLHV�DFURVV�&amp;DQDGD��DQG����WR����
percent of self-storage tenants are
residential users.
Improving storage at home can be a
cost-effective alternative to renting
storage space. With these easy tips,
homeowners can maximize space
immediately.

Utilize track storage systems
&amp;ORVHWV�PD\�EH�SOHQWLIXO��EXW�LI�QRW�
efficiently utilized, space may still
seem lacking. Track closet storage
systems often make greater use of
closet space than traditional shelf and

Invest in storage benches/
ottomans
A stopping area inside the front door
replete with a storage bench can house
shoes, umbrellas, hats, backpacks, and
other items, keeping them tidy and
out of sight. In living rooms, look for
chests or ottomans that are decorative
and functional. Store throw blankets or
board games inside.

Recess drawers or shelves
Gain more storage by recessing a
chest of drawers into what is called
WKH�´NQHH�ZDOOµ�RI�KRPHV�WKDW�KDYH�
sloped ceilings in attics and upstairs
bedrooms. Utilize these short walls in
an efficient manner by sinking drawers
or shelves into them, without taking
up floor space.

Rafter shelving
While in the attic (or a garage), add
hanging shelves to rafters or exposed
beams to create off-the-floor storage
as well.
These are just a few of the handy ways
to improve the interior storage space
in a home.

P

ride tends to swell
when homeowners
successfully
complete do-it-yourself
projects on their homes.
In addition to saving
homeowners money,
DIY projects provide a
unique way for men and
women to personally
connect with their
homes. The ability to
look at a finished project
DQG�VD\�LW·V�D�UHVXOW�RI�
your own handiwork can
make a home feel more
your own.
As fun and fulfilling
as DIY projects can
be, they also can be
nerve-wracking and
induce anxiety. When
DIY projects falter,
fixing them can prove
costly, as homeowners
typically must call in
contractors to correct
their mistakes and get
a project back on track.
That results in additional
labor and material costs
that might have been
avoidable, especially for
homeowners who make
an effort to avoid some
common DIY mistakes.

1. Failure to
secure permits
(YHQ�WKRXJK�
homeowners own their
homes, that does not
mean they have carte
blanche to do what they
want with them. Many
renovation projects

require homeowners to
secure permits before
projects can commence.
Some may even require
additional permits as
the projects advance. If
proper permits are not
secured, homeowners
may be fined and
projects may be nixed,
regardless of how much
money homeowners
have spent up to that
point. Before beginning
a home renovation
project, homeowners
should always contact
their local permit office
to determine if any
permits are required.
Bankrate.com notes
that permits are often
required for any project
larger than painting or
wallpapering.

2. Overestimating
your abilities
DIY television shows
make home renovation
projects look easy,
but reality suggests
otherwise. Homeowners
with little or no
experience renovating a
home may want to take
classes before they think
about starting a project
RQ�WKHLU�RZQ��(YHQ�
online tutorials tend to
make jobs appear easier
than they are. Roofing
and plumbing projects
tend to be best left to
the professionals, as
these projects can be

either dangerous or
vulnerable to disaster if
not addressed by trained
professionals.

3. Incorrect
materials
:KHWKHU�LW·V�WR�VDYH�
money or a byproduct
of inexperience, DIYers
do not always choose
the correct materials
IRU�D�MRE��([SHULHQFHG�
contractors have ample
experience working with
all sorts of materials and
are therefore in a unique
position to recommend
the best materials for
any given job. That
resource is not available
for DIYers, who must
perform ample research
before beginning a job
so the project involves
the most appropriate
materials. Incorrect
materials can be a
sunken cost that derails
a project, but even
jobs completed using
incorrect materials may
need to be redone a lot
more quickly than those
that employed the right
materials the first time.
Many home renovation
projects can be
completed without the
help of professional
contractors., especially
when homeowners take
steps to avoid some
of the more common
mistakes made by
DIYers.

things to consider when
buying a shed

B

ackyard sheds can be useful assets.
Sheds can create storage space in the
garage, basement or other areas of the
house that have become gathering spots
for gear typically used outdoors. Sheds are
ideal for housing mowers, tools and even
pool-care equipment. But they can be put to
other uses as well, such as being key spots
WR�HQJDJH�LQ�KREELHV�RU�HYHQ�DV�D�FKLOG·V�
clubhouse.
Various factors should be considered before
building or buying a shed. A storage shed
can be a significant investment. Once
placed, sheds may remain in their dedicated
spots for years to come. That means
careful thought should go into the planning
process.

1. Check your local
building codes first. Before
you accumulate building materials
or order a shed, be sure to
know the ins and outs of shed
codes. The codes may impact the
VKHG·V�SODFHPHQW��FRQVWUXFWLRQ��
the materials used, size, and
QXPHURXV�RWKHU�IDFWRUV��,W·V�PXFK�
easier to amend plans beforehand
than to face the hassle and
expense after learning you did
things incorrectly.

2. Choose placement
wisely. Spend several days
assessing the yard and thinking
about the uses for the shed. If
you plan to store pool floats and
chemicals inside of the shed, it
should be located close enough
WR�WKH�SRRO�WR�EH�FRQYHQLHQW��/RRN�
at the lay of the land. If there is
a soggy patch of land that can
WXUQ�VZDPS\�XQGHU�WKH�VKHG·V�
foundation, that is a poor location
choice. If you need access to
electricity, placing it far away
from the house could necessitate
running expensive wiring.

3. Consider the design. Just
because a shed is for storage
GRHVQ·W�PHDQ�DHVWKHWLFV�VKRXOG�
EH�RYHUORRNHG��&amp;KRRVH�D�VKHG�
style that complements your
home. You may also want to
match certain architectural
features, like arched doorways

Signs

or dormers. Design also may
relate to practicality. For instance,
storing a riding mower inside may
necessitate dual doors that open
widely.

4. Invest in quality
materials. Spending a little
more and using quality materials
can ensure it lasts long enough
to be cost-effective. The right
materials will be resistant to
splitting, cracking, decay, and
insect damage.

5. Prepare the site well. A
proper foundation for the shed is
almost as important as the shed
itself. You cannot just drop the
shed on the lawn and leave it, as
the shed can sink or structural
issues may arise if it is placed on
a weak base.
6. Blend into the
environment. Surround the
shed with shrubs or plants so
that it blends into the yard and
complements the space.

7. Deck out the interior.
Use every storage tool at your
disposal to maximize floor, wall
and even rafter space for storage.
Plan where items will be kept and
customize the storage options
around those locations.
Sheds can be an asset and
improve storage capability in the
backyard.

should not be immediately
written off, especially not
before DIYers employ a

digital multimeters varies
widely, with some retailing
for less than $20 while
others sell for hundreds

Serious DIYers who spend
every weekend working on
one project or another may
find the more expensive
multimeters more to their

liking, but many weekend
warriors can get by with
less expensive alternatives.
Multimeters are useful
because they can measure
voltage on a power tool
to determine if power is
effectively moving through
the tool.
Dust and dirt also can
compromise power tools.

tool and then try to start it

Burning smell
Many a DIYer has dealt
with a power tool that
emits an odor of burning.
The power tool experts
at Grainger notes that
tools like sanders contain
drive belts, and these
belts should be the first
place to look when tools
produce a burning smell.
When the drive belt is

when the motor is running.

the burning smell when
using tools without drive
belts. Sometimes tools
have simply overheated.
Whenever DIYers get a
whiff of that burning
smell, turn off the tool
immediately and let it sit
for 30 minutes before
trying to diagnose the
problem. Replacing these
parts can restore them to
full usefulness and get rid
of that unwelcome aroma.
Replacing worn or
damaged power tool parts
as opposed to the tools
themselves is often the
most budget-friendly way

Officials agree to split opioid settlements
some local and county
governments did not
vote, none voted against
the plan, the ofﬁcials
said.
Part of the plan is that
Ohio and its local subdivisions would negotiate
for settlements jointly.
No other state has
announced a similar
plan.
Drugmakers, distributors and pharmacies are
facing about 3,000
lawsuits in the U.S.
over the toll of opioids.
Combined, prescription

would go to the state
government to be used

“It’s a simple concept,

we are stronger. OneOhio puts us in the best

much to destroy lives

they got Ohioans hooked

sions such as heroin and
fentanyl have been linked
to more than 430,000
deaths in the country
since 2000.
Companies have
showed a willingness to
settle.
But one obstacle has
been animosity between
state and local governments over how to divide
any money that comes in.
Under the OneOhio
plan, 55% of the money
would go to a stateside
foundation that would
address the crisis, 30%
would go to community

in a statement.
A lawsuit ﬁled by the
state, an epicenter of the
crisis, against the drug
industry could go to trial
later this year.
So far, companies have
mostly settled cases
before trial.
Two proposed nationwide settlements, from
drugmakers Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt, are
being pushed through
bankruptcy courts.
And a group of three
distributors and two
drugmakers has made a
national settlement offer

that could be worth $88
billion over time in cash,
treatment drugs and
services. But a group of
states, including Ohio,
has pushed back against
that plan.
Some of the urgency
to reach a deal may have
evaporated this week
when a judge said he
would postpone the next
trial scheduled because
of the novel coronavirus.
Opening statements
in the case had been
expected to start in early
April in Central Islip,
New York.
