Reed appointed to Middleport Council
Water rate discussions continue
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

Sarah Hawley | Sentinel

Ben Reed takes the oath of office following his appointment
to Middleport Village Council.

MIDDLEPORT — Ben
Reed was appointed to ﬁll
the vacant seat on Middleport Village Council following a brief executive
session to begin Monday’s
regular council meeting.
Reed, who was among
the dozen people in attendance for the meeting,
took the oath of ofﬁce
and his seat at the council table following the

appointment.
Back to a full council,
discussions once again
centered around the proposed water rate increase
for the village.
Fiscal Ofﬁcer Sue Baker
explained that the need
for the proposed 9 percent
increase she is recommending is not due to payroll costs, but the inﬂation
of costs for the goods and
services used for the water
and sewer service.
Since 2014, village resi-

dents have not see an inﬂationary increase to their
water bills. A three percent inﬂationary increase
each year is typical to
account for the increased
cost of doing business.
While the water rates
have remained stagnant,
expenses for items such as
electric (AEP) and testing
supplies (MASI Environmental) have increased
by 21.75 percent and 19.5
percent, respectively.
In both 2016 and 2017,
water and sewer expenses
have outpaced revenue.
In 2016, the village spent

$839,807.24 from water
and sewer, while bringing in $796,323.60. In
2017, the expenses were
$818,652.69, with revenues of $817,236.03.
Baker has proposed the
9 percent increase which
would make up for the
inﬂationary increases not
in place over the past few
years, while also recommending the reinstatement
of the annual increases.
A 9 percent increase,
according to ﬁgures
provided by Baker at the

FAO provides
post-secondary
scholarships
MEIGS COUNTY —
Setting Appalachian
Ohio’s students up
for success is a critical part of creating a
region abundant with
possibilities. That’s
why many donors to
the Foundation for
Appalachian Ohio
(FAO) have created scholarship funds
focused on encouraging the pursuit of postsecondary education.
The citizens of Appalachian Ohio know that
setting their students
up for success is one
of the most beneﬁcial
things they can do for
the region.
That’s why they’ve
worked with FAO to
create more than 50
scholarship funds that
provide awards to
support the pursuit of
post-secondary education in the region.
With over $420,000 in
scholarships awarded
through over 500
awards, students from
Clermont to Ashtabula
counties seeking to
further their education
are given the opportunity to reach their
potential.
2018 scholarship
recipients from Meigs
County include:
The Forrest Bachtel
Academic and Athletic
Scholarship honors
the memory of Forrest
Bachtel, a longtime
teacher and coach
at Middleport High
School in Meigs County. This endowed fund
was created through
a generous bequest
by Dr. Harry Keig
to honor his friend,
Coach Bachtel.
Bachtel Scholarship
recipients included:
William “Levi” Chapman, a 2018 graduate
of Meigs High school,
received the Bachtel
Athletic Scholarship.
He plans to attend
the University of Rio
Grande where he will
study marketing.

College to study sports
medicine.
Savannah Diehl,
a 2018 Meigs High
School graduate, was
awarded the Bachtel
Academic Scholarship.
She will attend Capital University where
she plans to study art
therapy.
David Hoffman,
a 2018 graduate of
Meigs High School,
also received the Bachtel Academic Schol-

arship. He plans to

University where he
will study natural and
environmental science.
Hannah Evans
received the AK Steel
Foundation Scholarship, which supports
Appalachian Ohio students pursuing studies
in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics, with a
particular emphasis on
metallurgy. Evans is a

The Ohio State University to study biological
sciences.
Each year FAO
works with donors and
its volunteer Scholarship Committee to
award scholarships
to students pursuing
varied paths of postsecondary education
across the 32 counties
of Appalachian Ohio.
Awarded through a
competitive application process, FAO partners with more than
50 donor-established
scholarship funds to
honor the legacy and
story behind each fund
and the friend or loved
ones each honors.
The Foundation for
Appalachian Ohio’s
mission is to create
opportunities for
Appalachian Ohio’s
citizens and communities by inspiring and
supporting philanthropy. More information regarding FAO’s
scholarships and a full
list of 2017 recipients

advance philanthropic
activities in Meigs
County. The Meigs
County Community
Fund works to attract
philanthropic resources in the form of gifts,
grants, or bequests to
beneﬁt the broader
community. It helps
everyone give back to
Meigs County so the
community can invest
grants to beneﬁt Meigs
County residents.

Justice, son of Ohio AG, bows
out after hearing ECOT case
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Supreme Court
Justice Pat DeWine has stepped aside from a hotbutton case over how Ohio calculated funding for a
now-defunct online charter school.
DeWine ﬁled his recusal in the case of the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow, ﬁve months after it
was argued. The son of Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine didn’t state a reason and wasn’t
required to.
The unusual move likely means six others who
heard the case will either just decide it or reargue it.
A court spokesman declined comment Monday on the
impact of DeWine’s decision.
DeWine was one of three Republican justices who
received contributions from ECOT founder Bill
Lager. Justice Judith French recused herself last year
and was replaced by Democratic Judge W. Scott
Gwin from the Canton-based Fifth District Court of
Appeals.

Mayor resigns over allegations
that he slapped a woman
MACEDONIA, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio mayor who
was charged with assaulting a woman in Florida has
announced he is stepping down from ofﬁce.
Macedonia Mayor Joseph Migliorini said Monday
while he cannot comment on the allegations, he is
resigning effective immediately.
Police say Migliorini pulled a woman’s hair and
slapped her outside of a restaurant in Florida in April.
He was charged with misdemeanor battery.
Court records show the charge will be dismissed
once Migliorini completes a 12-hour anger management course.
Migliorini has issued an apology for his conduct
and the “embarrassment that I have brought upon
Macedonia.”
He ﬁrst served as the city’s mayor from 1988 to
2001. He was re-elected in 2015.

Ground broken for center
to test self-driving vehicles
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s governor and
other ofﬁcials have broken ground on a $45 million
center that will be used to test self-driving vehicles.
Gov. John Kasich and ofﬁcials with Ohio State University and the Transportation Research Center participated in the groundbreaking Monday for the 540acre (218.5-hectare) Smart Center in East Liberty.
Ofﬁcials say the Transportation Research Center, or
TRC, expects to open the ﬁrst portion of the autonomous vehicle testing facility by the end of the year.
The Smart Center will feature roads and structures
intended to replicate the high-speed intersections,
rural roads and urban areas normally encountered by
drivers. Ofﬁcials say the project will give researchers
and vehicle developers access to the types of driving
variables autonomous cars will face in real-life driving
situations.

Ex-police chief who resigned
sues city; claims defamation
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A former Ohio police chief
who resigned amid misconduct accusations and later
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge has sued the
city accusing ofﬁcials of defamation and violation of
his constitutional rights to due process.
Former Akron Police Chief James Nice’s lawsuit
ﬁled Tuesday in federal court claims Nice suffered
economic and non-economic damages and permanent
harm to his reputation. It seeks unspeciﬁed monetary
damages.
Nice resigned in 2017 amid misconduct allegations,
including one of using a racial slur. Nice denied that.
He later pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted unauthorized use of a police database and received probation.
City spokeswoman Ellen Lander Nischt said in a
statement Tuesday that Nice chose to resign and the
city didn’t misrepresent any information or mislead
the public regarding his “apparent misconduct.”

Trump’s attacks on NATO raise questions
By Robert Burns

AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON
— President Donald
Trump’s repeated tongue
lashings of NATO
allies and his friendly
overtures to Russian
President Vladimir Putin
are stirring questions at
home and abroad about
Trump’s commitment to
an Atlantic alliance that
has been a pillar of U.S.
security policy for more
than half a century.
Might a reordering,
or even a reduction, of
U.S. forces in Europe
be in the cards? Clues
may come when Trump
gathers Wednesday with
NATO leaders in Brussels. The ofﬁcial agenda
includes a plan for
increasing the number of
land, air and sea forces
capable of reacting
quickly in a European
crisis, but overshadowing it are tensions generated by Trump’s view
that the Europeans are
slackers leaning unfairly
on the U.S. military.
At the risk of deepening the rift with traditional allies, Trump will
then hold a summit in
Finland with Putin. On
his departure from Washington on Tuesday, the
president remarked that
he “can’t say right now”
if Putin is a friend or foe,
but he predicted that
his ﬁrst summit with
the Russian leader “may

be the easiest” of all his
meetings in Europe.
Such comments have
stirred unease not just in
Europe, but in Washington. A bipartisan resolution, set to be endorsed
by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee on
Tuesday, pointedly voices support for NATO as
strategically important
for the collective security of the trans-Atlantic
region.
“Although the Atlantic
alliance has weathered
many crises over its
lifetime, I now am concerned that the alliance
will not survive Donald
Trump,” said Elizabeth
Sherwood-Randall, who
served as senior director
for European affairs on
the National Security
Council during President
Barack Obama’s ﬁrst
term.
“Because he isn’t arguing with allies about
policy. He’s questioning
the fundamental value
of NATO to the United
States. This antagonistic
approach is generating an unprecedented
debate in Europe and in
Canada about whether
the United States should
be treated as friend or
foe,” she said.
The demise of the
Soviet Union in 1991
prompted a partial
drawdown of U.S. forces
from Europe, but every
administration since
then has concluded that

keeping a U.S. military
presence there was
important for wider
U.S. security, political
and economic interests,
and as a sign of solidarity with Europe. NATO
has been a key part of
the long U.S. military
involvement in Afghanistan, for example, and it
is expected to agree this
week to take a bigger
training role in Iraq.
Trump, who has also
questioned the U.S. military presence in Asia,
is challenging those
assumptions. That has
been most plain in his
antagonistic approach to
Germany, the main host
of U.S. forces in Europe.
He has criticized the
Germans for not spending enough on their own
defense and has castigated the country for
what he calls an overly
liberal immigration policy. He also has placed
Germany at the center
of his complaints about
a U.S.-European trade
imbalance.
Derek Chollet, executive vice president of the
German Marshall Fund
of the United States, a
think tank, says there
is a clear connection
between Trump’s criticism of German defense
spending and reports
that the Pentagon has
undertaken a review
of the cost of keeping
troops in Europe.
“You cannot read this

any other way” than
looking at whether a
U.S. troop reduction
“is a feasible option for
punishing them for their
apparent lack of will,”
said Chollet, who was
the Pentagon’s assistant
secretary for international security affairs during
Obama’s second term.
He questions whether
Trump fully understands
the global signiﬁcance
of the U.S. military
presence in Germany,
including its hosting of
the headquarters of U.S.
Africa Command, which
leads U.S. counterterrorism efforts in North
Africa. Stuttgart also is
headquarters for U.S.
European Command.
Among many other
facilities, Germany hosts
a U.S. military hospital
at Landstuhl, the largest
American hospital outside the United States.
In addition, NATO has
proposed creating a new
command in Germany to
improve the way the alliance would move troops
and equipment in a
military crisis. Kay Bailey Hutchison, the U.S.
ambassador to NATO,
told reporters this plan
will be approved at the
Brussels summit.
Notwithstanding
Trump’s grumbles about
America shouldering
the defense burden of
Europe, his administration plans to boost
spending to support it.

Senate nominee backs congressional term limits
CINCINNATI (AP)
— The Republican
nominee looking to
unseat two-term U.S.
Sen. Sherrod Brown
wants term limits that
include only two terms
for senators.
U.S. Rep. Jim
Renacci, of Wadsworth,
announced Tuesday he
supports a maximum
of three terms for U.S.
representatives and two
for senators. Brown, a
Democrat, is pursuing
his third six-year term
in ofﬁce.
Without mentioning
Brown by name, Renacci said “career politicians” who hold ofﬁce
for decades are to blame
for the stalemate in the
U.S. Senate, and new
representatives with
new ideas are the only

way to ﬁx what he called
“a broken system.”
“Our representatives
should go to Washington, get the job done
and leave,” Renacci said.
Brown, 65, entered
the Senate in 2007
after 14 years in the
U.S. House. He’s one
of Ohio’s best-known
politicians. But national
Republicans view him
as vulnerable this fall,
in part because of President Donald Trump’s
strong 2016 victory in
the politically divided
state.
By signing the pledge,
Renacci, 59, agreed to
co-sponsor and vote for
the U.S. Term Limits
amendment, a joint
resolution introduced to
the U.S. House and Senate judiciary committees

in January 2017. He also
promised he would limit
himself to two terms as
senator, if elected.
U.S. Term Limits is
a Washington-based
nonpartisan organization that advocates for
term limits at all levels
of government. According to a its poll conducted with consulting
ﬁrm McLaughlin and
Associates, 82 percent
of Americans surveyed
support an amendment
that would institute congressional term limits.
Renacci added that
term limits would bring
the politicians’ priorities
back to their constituents.
“Right now, they’re
making decisions based
on the next election
instead of the next gen-

eration,” he said.
Renacci is in his
fourth congressional
term. Preston Maddock,
a spokesman for Brown’s
campaign, pointed
out that means he’s in
violation of what Maddock called “a gimmick
pledge.”
Renacci’s own tenure
in Congress is only one
way in which the “career
politician” strategy risks
backﬁring this year.
Republican Attorney
General Mike DeWine,
at the top of the ticket
as the party’s nominee
for governor, spent 12
years in the U.S. Senate, four years as Ohio
lieutenant governor
and eight years as a
congressman. He also
served in the state Legislature.

THEIR VIEW

They are
missing the
point … again
In previous articles I have written that the daily
email I receive as a superintendent updating me
on the latest political shenanigans occurring in
Columbus is a “good news, bad
news” proposition. The good news is
that it is always nice to be informed
about the latest antics that are occurring in Columbus; the bad news
is that I often feel as if my head is
going to explode when I read about
them. More often than not, it is hard
Tom
to imagine that an intelligent group
Dunn
of people is engaging in the kinds of
Contributing conversations that occur among our
columnist
“leaders” at the state level, but they
most certainly are. So, this latest
update lands squarely in my “head is
going to explode” category.
It seems that lawmakers are now scrambling to
ﬁx the mess their ridiculous “accountability” system has created for online charter schools whose
enrollment has ballooned thanks to the closing of
ECOT, Ohio’s largest online charter school. When
ECOT closed because of its ﬁnancial scandal,
its students had to attend school somewhere, so
many enrolled in other online charter schools
while others enrolled in traditional public schools,
perhaps even the one in your community.
This update focused primarily on the inﬂux of
students attending other online charter schools,
particularly those in danger of being shuttered,
because their students historically don’t perform
well on state tests. The primary discussion point
is that if those schools that have accepted ECOT
students are saddled with their test results, their
accountability rating will be adversely affected. In
some cases, it is even possible that those schools
that have previously been in danger of being
closed due to their students’ poor test performance may be pushed over the edge by these additional students. That rightfully scares the leaders
of those schools to death.
One such online charter school is Ohio Virtual
Academy (OVA). OVA’s administrators have
told lawmakers that they have received approximately 4,000 students from ECOT, and they have
argued how unfair it would be that their school’s
future may depend on students who haven’t been
enrolled with them prior to this year.
To be fair to the folks at OVA, you would hear
this same refrain from every public school superintendent in Ohio, as well as any other clear
thinking adult, but this is a topic that apparently
confuses our legislators and one that requires their
intense debate.
It is lunacy that any school would be held
accountable for students they have not educated.
Of course, it is also lunacy that lawmakers continue to hold schools solely responsible for student
success even if they have attended their schools.
But, holding other people accountable for things
over which they don’t have complete control is
what our leaders do.
Now, let’s be honest here; if the majority of
students displaced by ECOT’s closing were high
performing, highly successful young people who
were going to positively impact the ridiculous
“accountability” data the state has created, this
debate would not have occurred. The reason it did
is because the administrators at OVA understand
that many of those students were not academically
successful at ECOT, have not been academically
successful at any other school they have attended,
nor will they be academically successful in the
next school they attend, because their failure
is not a result of the school in which they are
enrolled, but due to other factors.
But, this is a concept our lawmakers choose to
ignore, thus they continue to engage in idiotic discussions such as what percentage of an increase in
enrollment is too high or too low to hold the new
school accountable for student achievement. Is a
10 percent increase the magic number; or is it 20
percent; or maybe it could be 14.87354 percent?
Yes, believe it or not, THAT is what these people
discuss, and none of their discussion is based on
logic.
One might think that the topic of conversation
would be the tens of thousands of students in
Ohio who have failed regardless of the school they
have attended. Perhaps they could focus on why,
exactly, they consistently fail and what, perhaps,
can be done to help them achieve success.
But, nooooooooooo, engaging in that kind of
discussion wouldn’t even occur to them. Instead,
they’re more interested in changing their current
rules to be fair to schools than they are in discussing something meaningful such as why some children succeed while others fail.
This debate made its way through the Senate
and House Education Committees, which are
populated by members of our state legislature,
with the former headed by Senator Peggy Lehner
and the latter headed by Representative Andrew
Brenner. These are two political committees that

Baker was sufﬁcient.
Baker explained that
only water and sewer revenues can be used for the
water and sewer department and that other
monies cannot be used
outside of what they are
designated for.
Conde asked for clariﬁcation on the more than
$87,000 in the cemetery

endowment and what that
money may be used for.
Solicitor Rick Hedges
explained that the principal amount of the endowment for the cemetery
cannot be spent. The
interest off that money,
which is a small amount,
goes into the cemetery
fund for upkeep of the village cemetery.
In other business,
council approved a
resolution for the placement of a 2 mill levy for
police protection on the
November ballot. Should

the levy be collected in
full (typical collection
is 80 percent), it would
bring in $39,957.54.
Former councilman
and current village
resident Doug Dixon
expressed concern over
the village seeking a
police levy and water
rate increase at the same
time, leading people to
possibly reject the levy.
Council’s next meeting
is set for 7 p.m. on July
23.

Racing team makes history, starts 3 female drivers

Charlie Neibergall | AP

ARCA drive Natalie Decker, of Eagle River, Wis., talks to a crew member during
practice for the ARCA Series auto race Saturday, at Iowa Speedway in Newton,
Iowa. Decker’s team, Venturini Motorsports, made stock car history on June 29
by starting three female drivers in the same race for the first time in the modern
era of the sport.

AL outfield grabs
attention as All-Star
rosters announced
By Jay Cohen
Associated Press

Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Mookie Betts
form a dream outﬁeld for the American League.
Bryce Harper and Max Scherzer make up a not-sogracious welcome committee for the NL.
Power in the center of power. A capital-sized
All-Star Game.
Baseball unveiled the rosters for its midsummer
showcase Sunday night, featuring an imposing AL
lineup and Harper starting at his home ballpark in
Washington.
Reigning AL MVP Jose Altuve was one of ﬁve
All-Stars from the World Series champion Houston
Astros, matching the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians for most in the majors. The New York
Yankees and Atlanta Braves each had four, including rookie Gleyber Torres from the Bronx Bombers and fellow second baseman Ozzie Albies from
the surprising Braves.
“It’s fun. You’re playing but you’re looking
around because you’re playing with all those big
boys out there,” said Altuve, who made the AL
team for the sixth time.
Torres is on the disabled list with a hip injury
and unlikely to participate. While he and Albies
are just 21 years old, the list of 25 ﬁrst-time AllStars also includes thirty-something surprises
like Boston ﬁrst baseman Mitch Moreland, Texas
Rangers slugger Shin-Soo Choo and Atlanta outﬁelder Nick Markakis.
“It’s something that I didn’t know it would ever
be quite possible,” Moreland said. “I’m deﬁnitely
excited about the opportunity and appreciative of
having that opportunity.”
Trout is working on perhaps the best season of
his stellar career with the Los Angeles Angels.
Judge has 25 homers and 58 RBIs for the Yankees,
and Betts is batting .342 with 22 homers for the
major league-leading Red Sox.
But that’s just the beginning for the AL, which
has won ﬁve All-Star Games in a row and 17 of the
last 21.
Altuve led the fan balloting with 4.8 million
votes. Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado will make the short trip down to D.C. for the
July 17 game with speculation increasing about his
future ahead of the trade deadline.
Chicago White Sox ﬁrst baseman Jose Abreu,
Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez,
Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez and
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos round out
the AL’s starting lineup.
“The best part is being with all the guys. You’re
on the biggest stage with the best,” said Trout,
who was selected for the seventh straight year —
tying Boston ace Chris Sale for the longest active
streak.
Harper was voted a starter for the fourth consecutive year. The slugger, who is eligible for free
agency after this season, is batting just .218 for
disappointing Washington but has 21 homers and
50 RBIs.
He was joined by ace right-hander Max Scherzer
and reliever Sean Doolittle from the Nationals.
Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner,
could get the start in his home ballpark.
“That’d be an unbelievable experience,” he said
in an interview on ESPN.
Nationals shortstop Trea Turner could join
Scherzer and Co. if he wins the online vote for
the 32nd and ﬁnal NL roster spot. Brewers ﬁrst
baseman Jesus Aguilar, Giants ﬁrst baseman Brandon Belt, Cardinals inﬁelder Matt Carpenter and
Dodgers inﬁelder Max Muncy also are in the mix.
“Very excited to represent the Nationals in
D.C.,” Harper said. “Looking forward to this week

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) —
Stock car racing team Venturini Motorsports has had a tradition of employing women that
stretches back for decades.
On June 29, the ARCA outﬁt
made history — starting three
female drivers in the same race
for the ﬁrst time in the modern
era of the sport.
Natalie Decker, Leilani
Münter and Toni Breidinger
ﬁnishing 12th, 18th and 20th
respectively at Chicagoland
Speedway. By starting as a
trio, they helped raise the proﬁle of women in a sport long
dominated by men.
“We’re not trying to bill
ourselves as this team that is
championing female drivers by
any means. It just so happens
that we’ve had a number of
females come through,” team

spokesman Tom Venturini
said. “We’re a championshipcaliber team. We’re putting the
best drivers in the seat, male
or female.”
VMS’ push to use women as
both crew members and drivers came long before recently
retired Cup series driver
Danica Patrick set foot on a
race track.
Team owner Bill Venturini
won Automobile Racing Club
of America titles in 1987 and
1991, the ﬁrst coming with an
all-female pit crew — known
as the “Ultra Blue Crew” —
led by his wife and team coowner Cathy Venturini.
“When that happened, the
whole idea of it was, ‘we’re
competitors ﬁrst.’ It was not a
publicity stunt,” Tom Venturini
said. “We had the best physi-

cally ﬁt women to do that job.
They outperformed the men.
It really just happened to be
that they were women on the
crew.”
In subsequent years, the
team has given seats to the
likes of Milka Duno, Alli
Owens, Johanna Long, Nicole
Behar and others. Breanna
O’Leary is a member of VMS’
pit crew this season as a tire
changer.
The latest woman hoping to
prove she’s worthy of a top-tier
ride with the help of VMS is
21-year-old Decker, a Wisconsin native in her ﬁrst full season in ARCA.

Serena Williams rallies to reach semis
LONDON (AP) —
Serena Williams came
up with a comeback to
reach the semiﬁnals
at Wimbledon, then
walked off Centre Court
with her right index ﬁnger aloft.
Yes, no matter what
the rankings or seedings
say, she still looks as if
she’s capable of playing
like someone who’s No.
1.
Williams moved
closer to her eighth title
at the All England Club
and 24th Grand Slam
trophy overall — but
ﬁrst since missing more
than a year while having a baby — by beating
52nd-ranked Camila
Giorgi of Italy 3-6, 6-3,
6-4 in the quarterﬁnals
Tuesday.
“This is only my
fourth tournament back,
so I don’t feel pressure.
I don’t feel I have to win
this; I don’t feel I have
to lose this,” Williams
said. “I’m just here just
to be here and to prove
that I’m back. And I feel
like I’m back. I still have
a long way to go to be
where I was.”
Williams was seeded
25th by the All England Club, a nod to all
of her past success at
the grass-court major,
including titles the last
two times she entered
it, in 2015 and 2016.

Decker tried but failed
to qualify for a NASCAR
truck series race at Martinsville in 2016.
She then raced a limited schedule in the ARCA
series last season before
landing a full-time ride
for 2018.
Decker, one of the older
drivers in ARCA, got off
to a promising start by
winning the pole and ﬁnishing ﬁfth at the season
opener at Daytona. But
she had hernia surgery
in late May and ﬁnished
outside the top 10 in four
of her last ﬁve races.
Decker views this year
as an educational opportunity, with an eye toward
fulﬁlling her dream of
competing in NASCAR.
“I feel like it’s just all
learning, because all
these kids got to learn
at such a young age, and
I don’t feel like I’m that
much older than them,”
Decker said. “It’s been
great so far.”

Daily Sentinel

Lakers announce LeBron
James has been signed
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s ofﬁcial. LeBron is a Laker.
The Los Angeles Lakers
announced the signing of LeBron
James as a free agent Monday night,
conﬁrming the seismic shift created
by the four-time NBA Most Valuable
Player’s decision to leave Cleveland
for the 16-time champion franchise
on the West Coast.
James’ representatives at Klutch
Sports Group tweeted a photo of
James signing his contract with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka.
James’ agency already announced
last week that the superstar had
agreed to a four-year deal worth
$153.3 million with Los Angeles.
The Lakers have missed the playoffs in a franchise-record ﬁve consecutive seasons, while James has
played in the past eight NBA Finals
with the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning three titles.
The 33-year-old budding entertainment mogul immediately becomes
the focus of the Lakers franchise
and a possible foundation for the
NBA’s next superteam, depending on
whether James and the Lakers can
persuade more superstars to join him
in the next year or two.
Magic Johnson, the Lakers’ president of basketball operations, called
James “the best player in the world”
in a news release.
“He loves to compete and is an
awesome leader who is about winning and making sure that his teammates are successful,” Johnson said.
“The Lakers players are excited to
have a teammate who has been to
nine NBA Finals. It’s a huge step
closer to returning the Lakers to the
playoffs and to the NBA Finals.”
James is coming off one of his
greatest NBA seasons, playing in
all 82 regular-season games for the
Cavaliers while ﬁnishing third in
the NBA with 27.5 points per game
and hitting career highs with 8.6
rebounds and 9.1 assists. He then
carried Cleveland to its fourth con-

secutive NBA Finals, where the Cavs
were swept by Golden State.
“This is a historic moment for the
Lakers, and we could not feel more
grateful and honored,” Pelinka said.
“When LeBron James — a perennial
NBA MVP and champion who is
playing at the most astonishing levels of his career — chooses to join
the Lakers, it serves as the ultimate
validation for what we are building
here. However, we all know that the
work is not yet done.”
James’ arrival is indeed validation
for Johnson and Pelinka, who took
over the Lakers’ front ofﬁce in February 2017 with a speciﬁc plan to
rebuild the franchise by persuading
established superstars to join as free
agents.
The Lakers already have begun
assembling a revamped team around
James by acquiring Rajon Rondo,
JaVale McGee and Lance Stephenson in free agency while retaining
guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Los Angeles also assembled a reasonably talented young core before
James’ arrival with Brandon Ingram,
Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Josh
Hart.
But they didn’t even get a meeting
with star scorer Paul George before
the Southern California native resigned with Oklahoma City, and
their efforts to acquire disgruntled
two-way superstar Kawhi Leonard
from San Antonio haven’t borne
fruit so far.
The Lakers don’t appear to be
planning a public event to welcome
James to Los Angeles, where he
already owns multiple homes and
spends summers with his family.
But Blaze Pizza — the growing
pizza chain in which James is an
investor — announced a three-hour
pizza giveaway on Tuesday to welcome James to LA.
LeBron responded with a tweet
, his ﬁrst since June 26: “Haven’t
been to a pizza party in a minute …
Culver City?”

Cincinnati Reds’ Scott Schebler, right, is congratulated by Billy Hamilton after Schebler hit a two-run
home run off Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Josh Tomlin in the ninth inning Monday in Cleveland.
Hamilton scored on the play. The Reds won 7-5.

AP SPORTS BRIEFS

Reds top Indians
in series opener

dian-born players in MLB history and
passed Matt Stairs. Larry Walker holds
the record with 383.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Anthony
DeSclafani allowed one run in seven
innings, Scott Schebler was 4 for 5
with a homer, and the Cincinnati Reds
defeated the Cleveland Indians 7-5 on
Monday night.
All-Star ﬁrst baseman Joey Votto
homered for Cincinnati, which took the
opener of the team’s annual battle for
the Ohio Cup and sent the AL Central
leaders to their third straight loss.
Cincinnati improved to 9-2 against
American League teams and is 37-36
since interim manager Jim Riggleman
replaced Bryan Price on April 19.
DeSclafani (4-1) held the Indians to
ﬁve hits. Yonder Alonso’s solo homer
broke Cleveland’s 17-inning scoreless
streak in the fourth.
DeSclafani, making his seventh start,
strained his left oblique in spring training and began the season on the 60-day
disabled list. The right-hander missed
last season because of a sprained elbow
ligament.
Votto hit a ﬁfth-inning home run off
Mike Clevinger (7-4), who matched a
career high with 11 strikeouts in sixplus innings. Cleveland’s right-hander
allowed ﬁve runs.
Jason Kipnis hit a two-run homer in
the ninth off Amir Garrett, cutting the
lead to 7-3. Raisel Iglesias relieved with
two on and one out. Francisco Lindor’s
sacriﬁce ﬂy and Michael Brantley’s RBI
double made it a two-run game.
Iglesias struck out All-Star Jose
Ramirez on three pitches for his 18th
save.
Schebler had an RBI single in the seventh and a two-run homer in the ninth.
Tucker Barnhart’s RBI double put
Cincinnati ahead in the second. Jesse
Winker had an RBI double in the fourth
that was followed by Barnhart’s runscoring single.
Schebler singled on the game’s ﬁrst
pitch, but was nearly picked off with
Jose Peraza batting. Schebler went back
to the bag standing up on Clevinger’s
pickoff throw and was called out by
James Hoye. The Reds challenged the
play and the call was overturned.
Clevinger struck out the next two hitters and Tyler Naquin robbed Scooter
Gennett of a run-scoring hit with a diving catch on the warning track in right.
Barnhart’s double scored Eugenio
Suarez, who drew a leadoff walk in the
second. Greg Allen crashed into the
center ﬁeld wall while making a leaping
catch of Adam Duvall’s drive.
Votto hit his 266th career homer,
moving into second place among Cana-

Tepper under
contract to keep statue
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — New
Panthers owner David Tepper says
while he’ll accept nothing less than an
“open and safe” work environment in
Carolina, he’s “contractually obligated”
to keep a 13-foot high statue of former
owner and team founder Jerry Richardson outside of the team’s stadium.
Tepper, who was introduced as Carolina’s new owner Tuesday, says keeping
the statue in place was part of the deal
when he purchased the team.
Richardson sold the team after his
reputation was tarnished following
reports in December of sexual and
racial misconduct in the workplace. The
league later substantiated the claims
following a six-month investigation and
ﬁned Richardson $2.75 million.
Built in 2016, the statue features
Richardson holding a football next to
two growling Panthers.
Tepper also reiterated that Charlotte
is the “logical place” for the Panthers,
but said new practice facilities are a
necessity.

Man pleads guilty to
cheating NFL players
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — An
Ohio man has admitted defrauding NFL
players out of money meant for charities.
Thirty-nine-year-old Camario
Richardson, of Maple Heights, Ohio,
pleaded guilty Monday to mail fraud in
federal court in Kansas City.
Prosecutors say Richardson told the
players he could deliver Nike-branded
merchandise to charitable events. The
ﬁve players involved weren’t identiﬁed
in the indictment.
Richardson pleaded guilty to one
charge involving a Kansas City Chiefs
player who paid Richardson $6,000 to
provide 300 Nike-branded backpacks for
a charitable event for the 2016 school
year. The backpacks were never delivered. He admitted to similar schemes
involving players from the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals. He also didn’t deliver
athletic shoes he promised for a San
Diego Chargers player’s charity.
Richardson was ordered to pay
$24,780 in restitution.

NFL players union files grievance
NEW YORK (AP)
— The NFL Players
Association ﬁled a grievance with the league on
Tuesday challenging its
national anthem policy.
The union says that
the new policy, which the
league imposed without
consultation with the
NFLPA, is inconsistent
with the collective bargaining agreement and
infringes on players’
rights.
In May, the NFL
approved its national
anthem policy at its owners meetings in Atlanta.
The policy allows players
to protest during the
national anthem by staying in the locker room,
but forbids them from
sitting or taking a knee if
they’re on the ﬁeld or the
sidelines.
Teams will be subject
to ﬁnes if players don’t
comply and will have the

option of punishing players.
When the league
announced the policy,
Commissioner Roger
Goodell called it a compromise aimed at putting
the focus back on football after a tumultuous
year in which television
ratings dipped nearly 10
percent; some blamed
the protests for such a
drop. The union said at
that time that it would
ﬁle a grievance against
any change in the collective bargaining agreement.
The union said Tuesday it has proposed
having its executive
committee talking to the
NFL instead of proceeding with litigation. The
union said the NFL has
agreed to those discussions.
The NFL did not
immediately comment

about the union’s action.
In 2016, then-49ers
quarterback, Colin Kaepernick began protesting police brutality and
social injustice by kneeling during the national
anthem, and the demonstration spread to other
players and teams. It
became one of the most
controversial and sensitive issues in the NFL,
with players saying their
messages last year were
being misconstrued,
while others — including
President Donald Trump
— called them unpatriotic. Trump even said NFL
owners should ﬁre any
player who refused to
stand during the anthem.
Following those comments, more than 200
players protested during
the anthem that weekend
before the number of protesters dwindled as the
season progressed.
