A post by the Pomeroy Ohio Sternwheel Riverfest on its Facebook page announced the decision, while asking for volunteers for the 2018 event. “The organizing committee of the 2017 Pomeroy Sternwheel Festival has agreed to take a one year hiatus away from holding the festival.

Branham, who will be a senior at River Valley in the fall, competed in the fiber arts category with her dryer lint portrait of Malala Yousafzai: who was made famous after her attempted murder by terrorists. She then became an advocate for education. When Branham was asked why she chose to portray Yousafzai, she said, “It was a good way for people to ask me about her and I could tell them about her work and what she does.” Branham shares in Yousafzai’s ideals and used the project share those ideals with others. In the art show portion of the Beta Convention, hundreds of pieces were entered in various categories. To be able to compete, betas (as Beta members are called among themselves) must have placed with that art piece in their state in order to advance. Branham not only won her category at the Ohio convention, she always won best in show there as well.

Sunday Times-Sentinel Sheriff won’t let his deputies carry overdose antidote HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A sheriff in an Ohio county with record numbers of drug deaths in recent years is sticking to his longstanding refusal to allow deputies to carry an overdose antidote. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones remains opposed for safety reasons because, he asserts, people can become hostile and violent after being revived with naloxone, which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and is often referred to by the brand name Narcan. Deputies in neighboring counties in southwest Ohio do carry it. “I don’t do Narcan,” Jones told The Cincinnati Enquirer. “They never carried it. Nor will they. That’s my stance.” County emergency crews administer naloxone, and the Butler County Health Department has been offering free kits to relatives and friends of people with addiction. Jones’ latest comments came after a city councilman in Butler County’s Middletown drew national attention with his suggestion that emergency crews should stop responding to people who repeatedly overdose. Councilman Dan Picard also suggested that people who overdose should be forced to perform community service to make up for the cost of an emergency run. Middletown’s city manager responded with a statement that the city continues to respond to every call. Health professionals say people coming to after being given naloxone are often groggy and confused and may experience withdrawal but do not typically become violent. Ohio is among the states hit hardest by the opioid crisis. Butler County, near Cincinnati, had a record 192 drug overdose deaths last year. The county coroner has said it is on pace for other record year in 2017.

Kasich’s backing a mixed blessing CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio’s lieutenant governor enters the 2018 race for the state’s top job with the promised backing of Gov. John Kasich. Whether the endorsement of a leading detractor of President Donald Trump helps or hurts Republican Mary Taylor in her bid to lead the battleground state is unclear. Taylor on Friday pledged to build on the accomplishments of the Kasich administration — righting the economy, reducing regulations, fighting opioid addiction, cutting taxes — all without mentioning the governor by name. “Our progress is real, but we are not satisfied. We are scaling the mountain, but we are not yet at the summit. Now is not the time to rest and to wait,” she said at the City Club of Cleveland. “Our state can be even greater. There COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Opponents of the are magnificent things we can do, Republican health care plan have occupied two Ohio stubborn problems we can solve, offices of U.S. Senator Rob Portman, with 15 people and individual lives we can help arrested in Columbus. repair.” Columbus police reported the arrests Friday afterTaylor, 51, of Green, is the final noon, saying protesters blocked emergency crews trying to reach someone with chest pains in the down- high-profile Republican expected town office building housing the Republican senator’s to join the race to succeed the term-limited Kasich.

Kasich’s backing could prove beneficial to Taylor amid the crowded field. He won Ohio’s Republican presidential primary last year with more votes than Protesters occupy 2 Portman offices; 15 arrested in Columbus Democrats Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders and nearly as many as Trump and Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio combined. Yet more recent polling has found that Trump’s favorability exceeds Kasich’s among Ohio voters. Some were put off when the Republican governor clashed with Trump last year, refusing to endorse him, appear with him or attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, where he secured the nomination. “I’m disappointed,” Jack Boyle, a 68-year-old retired financial adviser, said Friday in Cleveland. “Kasich could have been a better sport about the whole thing. His behavior at the convention was an embarrassment, and once Trump became president, Kasich’s a regular on CNN panels, calling Trump crazy.” Kasich also has bucked his party in defending the Medicaid expansion made available under President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, an expansion Taylor opposes. He has forged alliances nationally in an effort to preserve the program and craft revisions to the law that leaders of his party, including Trump, have vowed to repeal and replace. “I am an individual, I bring my own life experience, I bring my own professional experience,” Taylor said, in response to a question on her ties to a governor unpopular with conservatives. “I don’t agree with my husband 100 percent of the time. … Look, I haven’t always agreed with this governor, but I respect the man, and I respect the position, and my disagreements with him came behind closed doors.” Fellow Republicans in the Ohio House stopped short Thursday of overriding a Kasich veto aimed at protecting Medicaid expansion from an enrollment freeze beginning next year, but they successfully overrode 11 other of his lineitem budget vetoes. If the Senate also does so, those would be the first budget veto overrides of a same-party governor in 40 years. Taylor, a former state insurance director, Ohio auditor and state representative, noted Friday that she led the state’s fight against the federal health care law. She acknowledged her biggest challenge, as a member of the administration, will be to communicate to voters how she’s bucked the status quo. Opponents on both the left and right have seized on her position to criticize Taylor, as well as DeWine and Husted, for being part of the Columbus establishment. Ohio Democrats drew attention to divisions among Republicans in Ohio and nationally over Medicaid by accusing the three of being “missing in action” on Kasich’s veto. Renacci also leaped on the issue. He was the only Republican candidate who publicly supported the freeze and opposed the veto.

Prosecutor weighing 3rd trial for ex-officer CINCINNATI (AP) — Amid protests and other local pressure, an Ohio prosecutor is pondering whether to try a third time to get a conviction of a former police officer in a racially charged fatal shooting case. Ray Tensing, a white man who at the time was an officer at the University of Cincinnati, killed Sam DuBose, 43, an unarmed black motorist, during a traffic stop that will have been two years ago on July 19. Two juries have hung on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters expects to announce his decision in the next week or two. Meanwhile, Tensing attorney Stewart Mathews has filed a motion asking Judge Leslie Ghiz to acquit him. She scheduled a July 24 meeting. After the first mistrial last November, Deters said he wanted a second trial because DuBose “was murdered. Period.” Deters said then a solid majority of jurors had supported a voluntary manslaughter conviction. However, Mathews said in the aftermath of the second mistrial declared June 23 that majorities were for acquittal on both counts. Deters told a WLW radio talk show Wednesday that the likelihood of gaining a conviction would be the key factor for him. “I’m going to do what I think is right,” Deters said. Some other factors that could weigh in Deters’ decision and some options besides simply dropping the case: Odds against conviction Juries across the United States have often shown reluctance to second-guess police officers for shootings. Tensing, now 27, testified he feared being killed by DuBose’s car when he tried to drive off. While Tensing’s second trial was unfolding, juries in Minnesota and Wisconsin acquitted police officers for on-duty shootings. Just before it began in late May, an Oklahoma jury acquitted an officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 9, 2017 3A GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS records.

He lives in England, where they have laws that allow the government to decide what is in a child’s best Christine interest, even though his loving parM. Flowers ents think otherwise. We Americans Contributing have those laws, too, and we use columnist them against mothers and fathers who beat their precious innocents. We also use them against wellmeaning parents who reject science and embrace faith — only faith — in an attempt to cure their children of grave illnesses. But we have never, to my knowledge, stopped parents from using their own money buy the best treatment possible. That is what Charlie Gard’s parents have been fighting so desperately to do these 10 months of his fragile existence. The doctors in the U.K. have told Connie Yates and Chris Gard that there is no chance their baby will have a normal life. They insist that the genetic disease with which he was born, which has left him braindamaged, will doom him to a life of suffering. They want him to “die with dignity.” Charlie’s parents don’t want him to die with dignity. They don’t want him to die at all. So they raised over $1.6 million to bring him to the United States, a country that still believes in the inherent value of hope and science to challenge the mandate of destiny and say, “Not so fast, we’re not finished running this race.” Despite the things that anger me about my fellow Americans, I still love you. It comes from having lived abroad for several years, from speaking other languages and being able to infiltrate the mindset of “non-Americans” without the barrier of awkward translation, from helping those “nonAmericans” become legal and full-fledged members of this society. For all of our flaws — and they’ve become painfully more evident every day since Nov. 8 — we are fundamentally a nation that recognizes the value of human life. If this were not the case, we wouldn’t still be fighting a battle some thought was decided 44 years ago when they legalized abortion. If this were not the case, we wouldn’t have people marching in the streets because they think that health care is being denied to the most vulnerable. If this were not the case, we wouldn’t look at drug addicts as victims of a disease, instead of what other societies consider them to be: weak and expendable. And that’s why baby Charlie should be here, in the hands of pediatric surgeons, neurologists and geneticists. We need to get rid of that insipid, dishonest phrase “death with dignity” which really just means a swift death that doesn’t drain our resources. Some people in America have swallowed that vile, nihilistic lie that we need to prioritize those who have a “chance” at a life of quality. They make a cost-benefit analysis based on the accepted societal metrics for “fulfillment,” and impose a draconian version of “normal” on those we choose to save. Will that child be born with Down syndrome? Abortion is the kindest option. Should that elderly grandfather be kept on dialysis? It’s a strain on his children and their pocketbooks; let’s rethink the protocols. But, for my sanity, I must believe these Americans are the exception to the rule. The U.K., France and many other countries in Western Europe and elsewhere, including Canada, can vaunt their compassionate systems of health care where everyone is “covered” by insurance and everyone is treated equally, the mythically beautiful “single payer.” The only problem is, “equal” is defined by the lowest common denominator, where you are forced to wait months, if not years, for tests, operations and even routine appointments. Family members have lived abroad, I have lived abroad and I deal every day with people who live abroad, so I’m not writing fiction. Of course, our system stinks. It’s been tinkered with, tampered with and stretched to an untenable limit. But at least at this stage, we don’t do triage on babies and decide like calm executioners who gets to live and who dies. Which brings me back to little Charlie. His parents want to bring him here, to a place where doctors like the great Ben Carson challenged God, and the surgeons at our magnificent hospitals create miracles from the arid dust of hopeless diagnoses. Charlie’s parents raised money on their own to do so. But a European “human rights” court stripped them of the right to seek a future for their child.

THEIR VIEW CNN’s Trump mess recalls an old lesson When I was a young reporter, in a climate full of great political change and anger and revenge and sniping from the shadows that was very much like the Washington of today, I learned a valuable lesson about sources. It involved a mayor who threatened the established order of Chicago, a secretly recorded tape released to damage that mayor’s reputation and unnamed sources. The art of the leak is the way politics works everywhere, and I’m reminded of it now, as CNN burns its credibility in its war with President Donald Trump with a botched anti-Trump story that has forced the resignation of three senior CNN journalists. Because in this modern war, waged by CNN and much of what we call the Beltway journalism establishment, or simply The Hive, one thing stands out: The use of anonymous government sources in the media’s persistent effort to portray Trump — without any evidence so far — as something of a plaything of the Russians in the 2016 election. tives, or both at How many anonthe same time.

Reporters know the Washington had a motivations of their meeting with an ally, sources. They can be James “Skip” Burrell, noble whistleblowers or asking him not to run craven political opera- for the office of 3rd Ward alderman, which was held by a ridiculous personality, Ald. Dorothy Tillman, a woman of impossibly big hats who once reportedly waved a handgun at voters. Her wild talk often embarrassed Washington and made it easy for his opponents to lampoon him. In their conversation, Washington mocked Tillman, but he told Burrell that he needed her where she was. Washington grew up in the Democratic machine, and though he presented himself as anti-machine, there he was, talking to Skip Burrell like a machine boss. What Washington didn’t know was that Burrell had a tape recorder in his pocket, and the recording made its way to Mike Sneed, now a columnist at the Sun-Times but then a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. The Tribune’s editor then was James Squires, who’d spent years in Washington and later bred the Kentucky Derby winner Monarchos after he left the newspaper See LESSON | 6A THEIR VIEW How we wish @realDonaldTrump would use Twitter The following editorial recenlty appeared in the Star Tribune, Minneapolis, Minn.: Within 24 hours of President Donald Trump’s disgusting Twitter outburst targeting MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, two stories making the rounds on social media provided a very different take on life in America in 2017. That got us thinking: What if Trump used Twitter as a tool to hold up acts of kindness and generosity instead of as a vehicle to attack those who have in some way offended his delicate sensitivities? What if he used Twitter to highlight what’s already great about this country? Sure, it’s naive to think a Trump social media transformation will begin anytime soon, if ever. But let’s just ponder those two aforementioned stories for a minute and consider the impact they might have had on the president’s nearly 40 million Twitter followers. There’s motorist Andy Mitchell, who could have ignored Justin Korva, the young man in a fastfood uniform he recently noticed walking along a road on a 95-degree day in Rockwall, Texas. Instead, he offered Korva a ride and learned that the 20-year-old made the 3-mile walk to and from work each day. Mitchell recounted the experience on Facebook, prompting strangers to donate more than $5,000 to buy Korva a new car. Then there’s Major League Baseball umpire John Tumpane, who instinctively grabbed a 23-year-old woman who had hopped over the railing of the Roberto Clemente Bridge in Pittsburgh on Wednesday and appeared to be planning to take her own life. “You’ll forget me tomorrow,” the woman said, asking Tumpane to let her go. “I’ll never forget you,” he told her. “You can have my promise on that.” The woman was eventually lifted back over the railing, and Tump- ane tried to comfort her before paramedics took over. “I told her, ‘I didn’t forget her, and we’d be here, and she’s better off on this side than the other side.’ I just want her to know that,” he recalled in an interview with the Pittsburgh PostGazette. Trump’s use of Twitter amplifies his voice while revealing much about his character. He too often comes across as a self-absorbed, insecure bully. In other words, the antithesis of Andy Mitchell and John Tumpane — two everyday heroes whose stories would have provided a refreshing change of pace for @realDonaldTrump. �LOCAL/WEATHER Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 9, 2017 5A Gallia County BBQ Festival set for Sept. 9 GALLIPOLIS — The 2017 Gallia County BBQ Festival will be held on Sept. 9 in the Gallipolis City Park from 12:00-3:00 pm.

Hoop Events like the Hoop Project are important to the economic development of the area, said Smith. “The Hoop Project is certainly great for our area. Everybody wants to live in a vibrant community. Things like the Hoop Project give people a reason to want to live in that community,” said Smith. “I just think it’s really important to economic development, that the focus is not just on the basic things. It’s about what your community does over and above compared to other communities.” Currently serving his third term in the Ohio House of Representatives, Smith also serves as Chairman of the Finance Committee. Prior to being elected to the Ohio House of Representatives, Smith served the Gallia County community as a member and Board president of the Gallipolis City School Board, president of the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce and the Community Improvement Corporation of Gallia County, as well as serving as a board member for Holzer Health Systems. A graduate of The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in finance, Smith began working as a financial advisor upon graduation and joined his current financial advising firm as Vice President and Partner in 2005.

Branham used large quantities of dryer lint of various shades and colors, brought in by fellow betas and classmates and applied it to the surface using mod podge, a kind of adhesive. “My art teacher inspired me to use dryer lint as a unique way to do a portrait,” said Branham. Branham is already saving dryer lint for next year. “One day I walked into the library (at RVHS) and there is lint everywhere and Sophie was covered in the stuff,” said Aaron Walker, Beta advisor. “Mrs. Stanley and I are both incredibly proud of her and her hard work this year.” Walker also spoke highly of Branham, explaining “This picture is a reflection of who Sophie is, a remarkable young lady.” Not only did Branham have success in her field, the River Valley Beta Club fared well as a whole.

Brooke Marcum, Kaitlyn Martin, Alexandra Maynard, Jessica McClanahan, Stephen McCormick, Dava Mershon, Zachary Miller, Andrew Moffett, Elisabeth Moffett, Sarah Moffett, Jay Michael Moore, NEW YORK (AP) — The retired federal agent who discovered what he believes is the first photographic evidence of Amelia Earhart alive and well after crash-landing in the Pacific Ocean during her attempted roundthe-world flight says he didn’t initially capture the significance of the image until years later. The black-and-white photo is of a group of people standing on a dock on Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands, including one who seems to be a slim woman with her back to the camera. A new documentary airing Sunday on the History channel claims the figure is the famed aviator who disappeared 80 years ago this month. Retired U.S. Treasury Agent Les Kinney said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press that he was looking for clues surrounding Earhart’s disappearance in the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, when he found the photograph in 2012 in a box filled mostly with text documents from the Office of Naval Intelligence but “didn’t really look at it carefully” because he was looking over thousands of documents and images. In 2015, he took another pass at the photo. “I looked at it and I went, ‘I can’t believe this!’” He asked his wife to come over and pointed to the seated person, asking if it seemed to her to be a man or a woman. “She said, ‘It’s a woman!’” His search led him to identify the ship seen at the right apparently pulling Earhart’s plane wreckage on a barge. The image is at the heart of the two-hour “Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence,” which argues that Earhart, along with her navigator Fred Noonan, crash-landed in the Japanese-held Marshall Islands, where they were picked up by the Japanese military and held prisoner. In the documentary, that photo is subjected to facial-recognition and other forensic testing, such as torso measurements. Experts on the show claim the subjects are likely Earhart and Noonan. Others aren’t convinced, including Dorothy Cochrane, a curator at the National Air and Space Museum and an expert on women in aviation. She said Thursday the blurry image isn’t conclusive. “I cannot say definitively that this is Amelia Earhart. That doesn’t mean that it might not be, somehow. But you can’t say that just through the image the way it is.” The disappearance of Earhart and Noonan on July 2, 1937, in the Western Pacific Ocean has been the subject of continuing searches, research and debate. The longstanding official theory is that the famed pilot ran out of gas and crashed into deep ocean waters northwest of Howland Island, a tiny speck in the South Pacific that she and Noonan missed. Other theories have claimed Earhart made an emergency landing on a flat stretch of coral reef off what was then known as Gardner Island, southwest of Howland, although bone fragments found on the island were inconclusive. An Australian researcher once proposed that wreckage spotted by members of his country’s military years ago on a Papua New Guinea island could be hers. Kinney, who started his career as a naval intelligence agent, said the photograph he found was in a batch of documents collected by U.S. sources in anticipation of the 1944 invasion of the Marshall Islands. “This was a mistake. This was never meant to be there,” he said. The National Archives verified Thursday that the image is from its holdings and was in a file “unrelated to Earhart.” While the photo is undated, Kinney strongly believes it was taken in July 1937, and he is convinced it shows Earhart and Noonan, based on other evidence including physical landmarks and islanders’ recollections. Kinney said the presence of two Caucasians on Jaluit Atoll prior to World War II was very unusual. The man’s distinctive widow’s peak seems to match Noonan’s. As for the figure with her back to the camera: “You have one that has a striking resemblance to Amelia Earhart from the back, including the short hair.” 60725001 Finder of Earhart pix tells story �8A Sunday, July 9, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel 60727579 �Sports Sunday Times-Sentinel 2017 OVP area football schedules INSIDE s 2B Sunday, July 9, 2017 s Section B SPORTS BRIEFS Tri-County Junior Golf Schedule POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The schedule for the 2017 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League has been released.

Cliffside hosts Capehart golfers Staff Report GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The weather was hot and humid on Wednesday at the Cliffside Golf Course, but it did not prevent 42 young men and women from completing the fourth round of the 2017 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League. In spite of the weather conditions, the golf was most competitive with age group champions determined in all the groups. The 18-19 year old age group had only one player this week. None of the young men chose to play, but Taylor Boggs played and showed why she is the winner of the girls division this year. Taylor shot a fine round of 43 to win the 10 available points. Her victory gives her a grand total of 40 points and the champion title in this age group. Jarrett Hupp won his first tournament of the year in the 15-17 year old age group by shooting 41 for the day. However, Jensen Anderson finished his round with a 43 to finish second, earning eight points and securing the divisional title with 30 points. Levi Chapman, who was unable to compete this week finished second with his 25 total points. Another non-competitor this week was Jonah Hoback, who ended up third in this division with 18 points. Third place in today’s competition went to Justin Vogt with his score of 44. Wyatt Nicholson was fourth today, while Whitley Byrd finished fifth. Andrew Vogt, Logan Colburn and Carl Sayre also played at the Cliffside event. Kaitlyn Hawk picked up her second victory in the ladies section of the 15-17 age group. Her best score of the year, a 49, not only gave her first place at Cliffside, but also allowed her to win the season championship with a grand total of 34 points. Haley Pierson was second and Sarah Bunce placed third. The 13-14 year old age group was won today by Laith Hamid playing in his initial tournament of the season. Laith shot a fine score of 45 for the day. Landon Roberts was second today with a score of 52, while T.J. Vogt was third with a score of 57. T.J. earned six points for his effort and gave him 26 for the year. This allowed Vogt to win the championship in this group, edging Trenton Peacock by two points. Matthew Morris finished See BRIEFS | 3B third in the point race. Zack King, Casey Greer, Evan Grady, Bryce Grubb and Joel Foreman also played in this group. Mattie Ohlinger won her third tournament of the year today shooting a 59. Her 30 points for the season wins her the championship for the 13-14 age group. Caitlin Cotterill was competitive, but came up four points shy in the point race. Once again, the 11-12 year old age group did not have any ladies competing this week. Conner Ingles won his third 11-12 tournament of the season and won the divisional championship with 39 points. Landon McGee was second today and also second in the point race for the year.

Courtesy photo Former Gallia Academy standout Peyton Adkins recently completed her collegiate running career at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Adkins, a 2012 graduate of GAHS, earned her degree in Early Childhood Education and starts work at Belpre Elementary in August. ATHENS, Ohio — It took a little longer than expected, but by staying the course — Peyton Adkins reached the finish line of her dreams. Adkins, a 2012 graduate of Gallia Academy High School, recently completed a stellar — yet trying— athletic career with degree in hand from Ohio University. Adkins — who accumulated over a dozen Southeastern Ohio Athletic League titles and six all-state honors during her running career at GAHS — was part of a long five-year journey that saw some real lows along the way, but her inner belief and some support along the way helped Adkins reach new heights during her three-sport tenure with the Bobcats. Adkins — whose older sister Lauren also competed at OU — was part of 10 separate events during her Division I career, which included competitions in cross country and both indoor and out- door track. During her time in the Green and White, Adkins amassed over 50 top-20 finishes and was part of a pair of event championships — both of which came on the track. Adkins won the Ohio Open 3,000-meter steeplechase event outdoors in May of 2014, then served as a part of the winning indoor distance medley relay team at the 2015 Chipotle Marshall Invitational. Besides those events and cross country, Adkins also competed in the indoor 800m and 1,000m runs, the outdoor 1,500m run, the indoor and outdoor 3,000m event, and the indoor and outdoor 5,000m race. Her personal-best time in a 5K cross country race was 18:47.7, which came in 2014 at the Miami (OH) University Invitational. By the time she finished her collegiate career, the 3,000m steeplechase was her signature event — which See ADKINS | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, July 9, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel 2017 OVP AREA FOOTBALL SCHEDULES Point Pleasant Big Blacks Date Opponent Aug. 25 vs Mingo Central Sept. 1 at James Monroe Sept. 8 at Warren Sept. 15 at Herbert Hoover Sept. 22 vs Mount View Sept. 29 at Parkersburg South Oct. 6 at Bluefield Oct. 13 vs Meigs Oct. 20 vs Man Oct. 27 vs Westside Time 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7 pm 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 Gallia Academy Blue Devils Date Opponent Aug. 25 at Meigs Sept. 2 at River Valley Sept. 8 vs Jackson Sept. 15 vs Chesapeake Sept. 22 vs Portsmouth Sept. 29 at Fairland Oct. 6 vs Coal Grove Oct. 13 at Rock Hill Oct. 20 vs Ironton Oct. 27 at South Point Time 7:30 7:30 7 pm 7 pm 7 pm 7 pm 7 pm 7 pm 7 pm 7 pm Meigs Marauders Date Opponent Aug. 25 vs Gallia Academy Sept. 2 vs St. Clairsville Sept. 8 at Logan Sept. 15 vs Vinton County Sept. 22 at River Valley Sept. 29 vs Nelsonville-York Oct. 6 at Athens Oct. 13 at Point Pleasant Oct. 20 at Wellston Oct. 27 vs Alexander Time 7:30 7 pm 7 pm 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 Wahama White Falcons Date Opponent Aug. 25 vs Ravenswood Sept. 1 vs Waterford Sept. 8 at Southern Sept. 15 at Belpre Sept. 22 vs Federal Hocking Sept. 29 vs Trimble Oct. 6 at Eastern Oct. 13 at South Gallia Oct. 20 vs Miller Nov. 3 at Buffalo Time 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7 pm 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 River Valley Raiders Date Opponent Aug. 25 at Eastern Sept. 2 vs Gallia Academy Sept. 8 vs South Point Sept. 15 at Nelsonville-York Sept. 22 vs Meigs Sept. 29 at Wellston Oct. 6 vs Alexander Oct. 13 at Vinton County Oct. 20 vs Athens Oct. 27 at Waverly Time 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7 pm Southern Tornadoes Date Opponent Aug. 26 at Portsmouth Notre Dame Sept. 1 vs Frontier Sept. 8 vs Wahama Sept. 15 at Miller Sept. 22 vs Belpre Sept. 29 at Federal Hocking Oct. 6 at Trimble Oct. 13 vs Waterford Oct. 20 at South Gallia Oct. 28 vs Eastern Time 7pm 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 TBA 7:30 7:30 7:30 7 pm Hannan Wildcats Date Opponent Aug. 25 vs Montcalm Sept. 1 at Green Sept. 8 vs Manchester Sept. 15 at Hundred Sept. 29 vs Jenkins (KY) Oct. 6 at Beallsville Oct. 13 vs Paden City Oct. 20 at Gilmer County Oct. 27 at Phelps (KY) Nov. 3 vs Cameron Time 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 South Gallia Rebels Date Opponent Aug. 25 vs Sciotoville East Sept. 1 vs Federal Hocking Sept. 8 at Trimble Sept. 15 vs Manchester Sept. 22 vs Eastern Sept. 29 at Belpre Oct. 6 at Waterford Oct. 13 vs Wahama Oct. 20 vs Southern Oct. 27 at Miller Time 7:30 TBA 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 Eastern Eagles Date Aug. 25 Sept. 1 Sept. 8 Sept. 15 Sept. 22 Sept. 29 Oct. 6 Oct. 13 Oct. 20 Oct. 28 Opponent vs River Valley at Miller at Green vs Federal Hocking at South Gallia vs Waterford vs Wahama at Trimble vs Belpre at Southern Time 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7 pm Marshall Thundering Herd Date Opponent Sept. 2 vs Miami (OH) Sept. 9 at North Carolina State Sept. 16 vs Kent State Time 6:30 6 pm 6:30 Sept. 30 Oct. 7 Oct. 14 Oct. 20 Oct. 28 TBA 6 pm 2:30 7 pm 2:30 Nov. 3 Nov. 11 Nov. 18 Nov. 25 at Florida Atlantic vs Western Kentucky at Texas San Antonio vs Southern Mississippi 6 pm 6:30 TBA 2:30 Golfers Golf near Pomeroy.

Monday at the Meigs County Adkins From page 1B included a pair of top-five efforts at North Carolina venues in her final season. Her athletic endeavours took her numerous places that allowed her to see a lot of a new sights and take in a lot of diverse people and cultures. Having survived the trials of training and the rigors of being a student, Adkins is absolutely proud of what she has managed to accomplish in a very short amount of time. And despite the hard work, she notes that every drop of it was worth it. “Ohio has provided me so many great opportunities throughout my collegiate career. I found it to be very special to be both an athlete and a student at the same time, mainly because you feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself,” Adkins said. “It’s really like one big family, including the other sports besides the runners. We were all representatives for the Ohio Bobcats, so there was a unique bond between any of the student-athletes on campus. “At Ohio, I can say that I have met some of my very best friends in life — people that will be in my wedding. The travel was nice and the experiences were amazing, but those lifelong bonds will be the greatest thing that I will take away from my time as a Bobcat. Well, except for the degree of course.” What Adkins also found in her experience at the Division I level was that the venues were legendary … and so was the competition. “Getting to compete at places like Wisconsin, Wake Forest, Louisville and all around the Mid-American Conference states was pretty intense, especially when you are at the same event with national champions and Olympic competitors,” Adkins said. “In high school, you were really only competing against certain competitors in your state or in your region of the state. In traveling with a Division I program, you find out really fast that there are a lot of great athletes in this country … so it’s going to take a lot of really hard work to set yourself apart from that pack. “My teammates were the best runners at their high schools, like me, so it does help in the training aspect of things. It really was a growing experience to see that there are all kinds of different ways to succeed with different training regimens. I really learned a lot more about something I’ve known my whole life.” Early on, however, Adkins started having spells where she would lose her balance or pass out after events — which caused her to take a medical redshirt her freshman year. The condition got so bad at one point that Ohio University coaches wouldn’t even allow her practice due to their concerns with Peyton’s health. So, after being limited as an athlete most of her first two years of college, the big break- at Cincinnati at Charlotte vs Old Dominion at Middle Tennessee vs Florida International Mavs, Nowitzki reach 2-year deal to set up 20th season DALLAS (AP) — Dirk Nowitzki has a deal with the Dallas Mavericks that sets him up to join Kobe Bryant as the only players to spend 20 seasons with one NBA franchise. Nowitzki signed a two-year, $10 million contract Thursday that carries a team option in the second season. A person with knowledge of the deal contract provided specifics on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t release the terms. The agreement is similar to the one the Mavs and Nowitzki reached last year, although for significantly less money. Last year’s contract was for two years and $50 million, and the club declined its option before free agency opened this year. The 39-year-old Nowitzki is no longer the primary option for the Mavericks, so a $5 million deal is more in line with his role on a roster that has become significantly younger since the start of last season. The $25 million salary from a year ago was as much about Dallas paying Nowitzki for his loyalty, which included taking less money to help acquire free through came with a trip to the doctor’s office — where she was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. POTS is a form of orthostatic intolerance that occurs in a standing position and occurs mostly in women between the ages of 15 and 50. Other side effects tend to target the circulatory system and heart, which can lead to dizziness, fatigue, headaches, chest pain and shortness of breath. In basically being reduced to a dormant athlete and a redshirt freshman, Adkins said that those first two years were really tough to go through. She also made it known that despite finding out what was causing the problem and what it could mean for her physically, she never wavered in wanting to get back into competition. “I didn’t really know what was wrong with me at the start of my college career. I was slow and my legs felt heavy, and my coaches didn’t really know what was going on with me either. Eventually, they wouldn’t even let me run at all … even at practice,” Adkins said. “I went to a cardiologist to have some tests done and I passed out during a table tilt test, which allowed us to figure out that I had POTS. “I never really gave a second thought to not running because running at college was something that I just always wanted to do. I just had a competitive mindset and didn’t want to give up, so I pushed through it. My teammates and agents through the years. Bryant retired following the 2015-16 season, his 20th with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was the fifth player to spend at least 20 years in the NBA. Nowitzki doesn’t seem to have ruled out playing past the coming season. At the NBA awards show last week, he hinted as much during his acceptance speech for the teammate of the year award. Regardless of how much longer he plays, Nowitzki’s legacy is secure after leading the Mavericks to their only championship in 2011 as the NBA Finals MVP. The 7-foot German is also the only foreign-born player with 30,000 career points, a milestone he reached last season. But Nowitzki wants to get back into playoff contention before he leaves after the Mavericks missed the postseason for just the second time in 17 seasons. Nowitzki was second to Harrison Barnes in scoring last season at 14.2 points per game and could drop further with Wesley Matthews going into the third year of his deal as the starting shooting guard. my family were really supportive of me through all of that too, so we were able to get through those tough times and things eventually got better with the right kinds of treatment.” Things started feeling a bit more normal after the diagnosis and she was back in full stride entering her third full season as a redshirt sophomore. In getting back to competition, Adkins found herself looking for a specific event to excel in. Trial and error ended up helping with that decision over the next few years. “I ended up trying several different events in college, some of which I had never even heard of before I arrived on campus. There are just so many different distance races in college, so trying to figure out which ones were best for me and the team was the hardest part early on,” Adkins said. “One day my junior year, I just started messing around with the steeplechase hurdles in practice … and it pretty much became my thing. It’s a really tough race, but it’s also a lot of fun.” Adkins posted her career best time of 11:17.41 in the 3,000m steeplechase during the 2016 Mid-American Conference championships in 2016, which resulted in an 11th place finish. Adkins — who earned a degree in Early Childhood Education — begins the next phase of her career in August when she starts at Belpre Elementary as a first grade teacher. Adkins is also engaged to former Warren High School standout Wes Cochran, a fellow Ohio University graduate (Engineering) and cross country athlete. The couple — who met as high school seniors after each won the individual SEOAL cross country races in 2011 at Jackson — will be getting married in June of 2018 and currently reside in Marietta, Ohio. Adkins admits that the competition will be tough to replace, but she is also considering a move to coaching as a way to fill the void. Plus, given her constant concerns with POTS, a career to adjust to and a wedding to plan, there are plenty of things to keep her busy. In all of that, she also has to find some time to stay up with her former teammates and the programs at Ohio. As she easily expresses, time will be made for those who helped her along the way. “The thing I’ll remember most won’t be the times that I ran. It will be those lifelong relationships that I developed with my teammates and my coaches,” Adkins said. “Through the good and bad of competing and studying, those were the people that have helped me get to where I am today. That’s something that you can never forget.” Peyton is the daughter of Jeff and Andrea Adkins of Gallipolis, Ohio.

(AP) — Kyle Busch set a track record to earn his first Kentucky Speedway pole before thunderstorms shortened NASCAR Cup Series qualifying on Friday. Busch, a two-time winner of Saturday night’s 400-mile race, clocked 190.282 mph in the No. 18 Toyota for his third pole this season and 22nd of his career. Third in points, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver seeks his first Cup victory since last summer at Indianapolis. Martin Truex Jr. will start second with Busch’s JGR teammate Matt Kenseth third as Toyotas claimed four of the top five spots in the 40-car field. Jamie McMurray (189.713) starts fourth in a Chevy with JGR’s Denny Hamlin (189.687) next. The pole was the second of two Busch claimed on Friday; he also earned the top spot for the Xfinity Series race. Busch was preparing for the third and final round of qualifying before NASCAR officials abruptly cancelled the segment and postponed the Xfinity Series race to Saturday at noon because of the threatening weather system. He smiled as he climbed out of his car to a suddenly-free evening, rest that will certainly be needed to handle a double-duty Saturday for the Briefs second weekend in a row. The good news is he’ll have a prime starting spot for both events in the latest chapter of his Kentucky dominance. “The guys have done an amazing job this year at building faster race cars as we’ve gone on this year,” Busch said of his JGR team. “We started out a little behind. Just right there, so close having an opportunity to win each and every week, we just need to bust through and get it to happen.” Contrasting Kyle Busch’s good day was one that series points leader Kyle Larson would like to forget. After having one of the fast- est cars during both rounds of practice, Larson didn’t get to prove it in qualifying after his No. 42 Chevy failed inspection. He didn’t know what the issue was and is left to prepare to start last in 40th. “We will be fine from the back,” Larson said. “Obviously, it will be hard to pass, but we also thought the same thing at Texas and we didn’t get to qualify there and I cruised right to the front no problem. So, we will see.” Other qualifying notes from Kentucky: FORD’S FOURSOME: Ford placed four cars in the top 11 with Ryan Blaney and Kevin Harvick starting sixth and more information. compete for prizes.

Cleveland’s passionate and driven manager underwent a procedure Thursday to correct an irregular heartbeat that sidelined him for a few games and will prevent him from managing in the All-Star Game next week. The 58-year-old Francona had been experiencing dizziness, fatigue and a rapid heart rate for several weeks. He had a cardiac ablation at the Cleveland Clinic. The Indians said Friday that Francona is resting comfortably. He is expected to be discharged in a “day or two” and resume managing after the AllStar break. Cleveland begins its unofficial second half of the season July 14 in Oakland to start a six-game trip. Francona, who twice left in the middle of games last month after falling ill, has been hospitalized and undergoing tests since Tuesday. He was admitted after doctors detected an arrhythmia from a monitor he has been wearing for several weeks. However, his health will prevent him from managing the American League squad in Miami next week. Indians bench coach Brad Mills, who has been filling in while Francona has been ill, will handle the AL team, which includes five Indians players. Mills will be assisted by Cleveland’s staff and Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash, who previously worked for the Indians. Francona earned the opportunity to manage the All-Star team after guiding Cleveland to the World Series last season, the team’s first since 1997. After putting Francona through an array of tests, doctors chose to perform the ablation in which a tube is inserted through the leg and guided to the heart. Damaged tissue is then treated with heat, cold or radio energy to help prompt regular heartbeats. Francona had been forced to leave two games last month when he became lightheaded. He underwent tests following both episodes and team president Chris Antonetti said earlier this week that doctors had ruled out any major health issues. Francona also missed a game in Washington last August after he experienced chest pains. During a series last weekend in Detroit, Francona wasn’t feeling well again and doctors decided to admit him to the Cleveland Clinic on July 4 after seeing an abnormality on his heart readings. Antonetti had been adamant to Francona about putting his health first. He acknowledged that Francona can be stubborn and perhaps not the ideal patient. “He keeps everybody entertained,” Antonetti said. “He loves what he does. He’s very passionate about the organization and very passionate about baseball and loves being in the dugout and he’s itching to get back. If it were left to him, he’d be back in the dugout.” In his fifth season with Cleveland, Francona is hugely popular with his players and fans, who affectionately refer to him as “Tito,” his father’s name. The team plans to display get-well cards at Progressive Field on Friday for fans to sign and present to Francona, who has led the Indians to a winning record in his previous four seasons. Francona joined the Indians in 2013 after spending one year as a TV commentator following a messy departure in Boston, where he took the Red Sox to two World Series titles in eight seasons. His absence has been noticeable in recent days. Players worried about his health and wondered when he would be back. “We think about him all the time,” pitcher Josh Tomlin said after Thursday night’s win over San Diego. “I bet he’s not too happy in the hospital on a daily basis. We need him at the helm here. There’s no doubt about it. He’s big part of our success. He knows the game. He knows the players really well. His presence alone has that sense of calm in the dugout. Hunter Greene, Reds agree to $7.23 million signing bonus PHOENIX (AP) — Hunter Greene, the high school right-hander taken by the Cincinnati Reds with the second overall pick last month in the amateur draft, agreed to a minor league contract Friday with a $7.23 million signing bonus — the highest since constraints on draft spending began in 2012. Reached just before the 5 p.m. EDT deadline to sign for players with remaining college eligibility, the deal topped the $7,005,000 signing bonus Tampa Bay agreed to last week with Louisville pitcher/first baseman Brendan McKay, the No. 4 pick. Julio Cortez | AP “I was pretty stressed there today,” Hunter Greene, a pitcher and shortstop from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., adjusts general manager Dick Williams said his hat after being selected No. 2 by the Cincinnati Reds in the first round of the Major League during a conference call. “You never Baseball draft June 12 in Secaucus, N.J. know until you dot the i’s and cross all the t’s. I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say it came down to the final seconds instead of minutes.” If the Reds had failed to sign the 17-year-old Greene, they would have received the No. 3 pick next year as compensation. “If it didn’t work out, we were at peace with the consequences,” Williams said. “That being said, our strong MARK’S PLUMBING & HEATING 1-800-767-4223 Report: FBI investigated claims that Bob Knight groped women Commercial & Residential Free Estimates Covering all of Ohio & West Virginia Available 24 Hours Serving our communities for over 20 years WV003690 - OH34636 Backflow Certified #5202 P.O.

He’s the kind of guy we want to sign and build around.” Greene’s bonus is the highest ever for a high school pitcher. He also played shortstop at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California, and had accepted a scholarship to UCLA. A fastball that can reach 100 mph has the Reds projecting him as a future ace. He will begin his professional career with Billings in the rookie-advanced Pioneer League, likely after a short stop in Arizona because the Montana farm team is on the road. Greene’s signing bonus exceeded the slot value of $7,193,200, but was just low enough to allow the Reds to avoid a tax. Also before Friday’s series opener at Arizona, the Reds recalled outfielder Jesse Winker from Louisville and optioned right-hander Sal Romano to the Triple-A club. 60727797 WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI and the U.S. Army investigated complaints from four women that Hall of Fame basketball coach Bob Knight groped them or touched them inappropriately during a visit to a U.S. spy agency in 2015, an investigation that concluded a year later without charges, The Washington Post reported Friday. One of the women, whose name The Post did not disclose, told the newspaper that Knight groped her on the buttocks shortly before he gave a speech to staffers at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency at its headquarters in Springfield, Virginia. The woman also filed a discrimination complaint against the NGA and the Defense Department in which she claimed she was pressured to drop the matter, The Post reported. An attorney representing Knight, James Voyles, acknowledged to The Post that FBI agents interviewed Knight at his home in Montana last year and said the investigation was dropped shortly thereafter. “There is absolutely no credible evidence to support this in our opinion, these allegations,” Voyles said, adding that the FBI agents “reported to their superiors that there was no basis for any further action, period.” Knight, 76, did not comment to The Post, but his wife, Karen Knight, told the newspaper in a text message: “Bob did nothing wrong and there is NO evidence to prove that he did. Case closed.” Another female NGA employee told The Post that Knight touched her on the shoulder and commented on the attractiveness of her legs as she drove him from Washington to the agency’s headquarters. She said the encounter made her uncomfortable but did not believe Knight’s actions to be “malicious.” Another NGA official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Post that when Knight arrived, he greeted a female employee by putting his hands on the sides of her chest and lifting her off the ground. The woman declined to speak to the newspaper. A fourth woman told The Post that Knight smacked her on the buttocks after his speech. She said she was interviewed by the FBI and other investigators but did not file a formal complaint. The NGA and the office of the national intelligence director, who oversees the 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press Friday. Knight was invited to speak at the little-known NGA, which analyzes imagery of the Earth’s surface and employs about 14,500 people, by its director, Robert Cardillo, a longtime friend. Cardillo later apologized to anyone at the agency who was offended by Knight’s visit. In an interview, Cardillo told The Post he was “shocked” and “stunned” by the allegations. Army investigators initially handled the probe but later handed it over to the FBI because Knight was a civilian, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed law enforcement officials. After consulting with federal prosecutors in Virginia, FBI agents concluded the evidence against Knight was not likely to result in a successful prosecution, The Post reported, citing a federal law enforcement official familiar with the case. Knight is best known for his threedecade run as head coach of Indiana University’s men’s basketball team, during which the Hoosiers won three NCAA championships. He was fired in 2000 following a series of abuse allegations, including a videotape that appeared to show Knight choking a player during practice. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 9, 2017 5B Police: Williams legally entered intersection before crash straight. A dark colored sedan turns left in front of her, causing her to stop. She then continues straight into the far, westbound lanes, where her SUV is struck in the passenger’s side by a 2016 Hyundai sedan driven by Linda Barson. Palm Beach Gardens police said in a statement Friday that Barson’s light had turned green just before Williams moved in front of her. Barson’s 78-yearold husband, Jerome Barson, died June 22 from injuries suffered in the crash. Williams, who was not hurt, has not been cited or charged. Police spokesman Maj. Paul Rogers said Friday the video Hernandez, who sued MLB, among All-Star Game umpires NEW YORK (AP) — Angel Hernandez, who sued Major League Baseball this week alleging racial discrimination, is among the umpires for Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Miami. Hernandez will be at first base as part of a crew headed by Joe West. Hernandez was at third base for both the 1999 All-Star Game in Boston and the 2009 game in St. Louis. Under the umpires’ labor contract, MLB must notify umpires of All-Star Game assignments at least 30 days in advance of the game. West last month became the third umpire to work 5,000 regular-season games, following Bill Klem and Bruce Froemming. He worked third base for the 1987 All-Star Game at Oakland and was behind the plate for the 2005 All-Star Game at Detroit. The rest of the crew announced Thursday includes Mark Carlson (second), Chris Conroy (third), Manny Gonzalez (left) and Mike Estabrook (right). The replay umpire in New York will be Doug Eddings. The official scorers will be Miami-based scorer Ron Jernick, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post and Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. has caused investigators to rescind their original conclusion that Williams was at fault and that no blame has yet been determined. Jerome Barson’s estate has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Williams seeking unspecified damages. Linda Barson, 68, suffered numerous fractures to her arm. Williams, 37, is now in England competing at Wimbledon, a tournament she has won five times. The 10th-seeded Williams, who has won her first three matches, broke down in tears Monday when asked at a press conference about the crash. Michael Steinger, the attor- ney for the Barson family, said the video shows Williams caused the crash by “violating the Barsons’ right of way. “ “There is nothing that disputes Ms. Williams’ was in the intersection on a red light, and the witnesses clearly confirm the Barsons had a green light and lawfully entered the intersection,” Steinger said in a statement. Williams’ attorney, Malcolm Cunningham, disagreed, saying in a statement that Linda Barson was at fault. Williams “had the right to proceed through the intersection and other vehicles including those with a red light changing to green, were obli- gated to yield the right-of-way,” Cunningham said, adding, “she remains deeply saddened by the loss suffered by the Barson family and continues to keep them in her thoughts and prayers.” Williams has career on-court earnings of more than $34 million and her own clothing line, EleVen. According to Forbes Magazine, she also has endorsement deals with Ralph Lauren, Kraft foods, Tide detergent and Wilson sporting goods. Her younger sister, Serena Williams, the world’s fourthranked women’s player, is sitting out Wimbledon as she is pregnant with her first child. Kenseth likely done at JGR at end of year SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth said Friday he has no job lined up next year and likely has no future at Joe Gibbs Racing. “I’m not really worried about it but as of today, I do not have a job for next year. Hope to still be racing,” Kenseth said at Kentucky Speedway. “I think I got some wins left in me and hopefully race for championships. Right now, I’m focusing on finishing up this year.” Kenseth is the 2003 champion and two-time Daytona 500 winner. He is in his fifth season driving for Gibbs and his 18th overall. But, he does not believe returning to the No. 20 Toyota is an option for 2018. Erik Jones is likely going to be moved into that car from Furniture Row Racing, Gibbs’ sister team. “I do not think I will have the option to return West Virginia Cornea & Cataract Center of Excellence to race at JGR next year. Unfortunately,” he said. One possibility is replacing Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Hendrick Motorsports — or even sliding into the No. 5 should Rick Hendrick decide to release Kasey Kahne. But, a slot at Hendrick may not be a slam-dunk. Kenseth is 45 and would likely be a place-filler until a younger driver is ready and that could be sooner rather than later. Xfinity Series driver William Byron has backto-back wins, and along with Alex Bowman — who filled in for Earnhardt last year — the duo could be positioning themselves for early promotions into Hendrick’s top rides. Kenseth could also swap positions with Jones, a development driver for JGR who is really just being stashed at Furniture Row until Gibbs has a Cup seat for him. Beyond saying JGR wasn’t an option, Kenseth wouldn’t tip his hand. “I probably already said too much about what I’m not doing next year, so I don’t really have anything to talk about what I am doing at this point,” he said. “At this point, I don’t have anything going on next year and trying to get focused on running better and winning races.” Kenseth is 11th in points with six top-10 finishes in 17 starts. All four Gibbs drivers are winless in the Cup Series this season. Jones is on a one-year contract with Furniture Row. He is 17th in the standings with four top10s, but he’s among a current crop of young drivers poised to take over the Cup Series. He declined on Thursday to discuss his future. “I’m just driving. For the most part, for me, I don’t know where I’m going to be yet. They haven’t let me know,” he said. “Hopefully I know soon. You know it’s kind of getting down to that point. I guess it’s July now, so I’m sure we’ll have an answer here soon.” Kenseth has 38 victories in 631 Cup stars. He joined Gibbs in 2013, led the Cup Series with seven victories and finished second in points that year. 60722762 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Tennis star Venus Williams legally entered an intersection but was cut off by another car, setting off a chain of events that seconds later resulted in a fatal crash with a third car, police say video released Friday shows. The video, taken by a security camera, shows Williams heading north as she stops her 2010 Toyota Sequoia SUV at a stoplight behind a white car as she exits her Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood shortly after 1 p.m. June 9. When the light turns green, the white car turns left onto a six-lane, heavily traveled boulevard, but Williams heads 60726915 �SPORTS 6B Sunday, July 9, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Elliott blames himself for latest crash during break in Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A few days and a few replay reviews have given Chase Elliott a new perspective on last weekend’s crash at Daytona. Now he believes there’s only one driver to fault. “I’ll take the blame,” Elliott said Thursday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “I don’t have an issue with it.” That’s a stark contrast to Elliott’s profanity-laced tirade on the radio Saturday night. Back then, Elliott let his Hendricks Motorsports team know exactly who he thought was responsible for the contact — Michael McDowell. McDowell fired back Wednesday on Twitter. “I wonder if (at)chaseelliott watches the replays and realizes he wrecks himself,” McDowell wrote. “That is Twice now.” On Thursday, during a trip to the 2.5-mile Brickyard, Elliott acknowledged what was said Saturday night came in the heat of the race and time had helped him reach a different opinion — one that may help him produce a better result at Kentucky this weekend. It wasn’t the first time Elliott and McDowell have tangled this season. They also were involved in a pit crash at Kansas in May. And, like many drivers, Elliott doesn’t have a problem with a little controversy. “My assessment in regards to Daytona is that you’ve got to keep on moving down the road but I do appreciate all the sponsor plugs it’s gotten us,” he said. Another up-and-comer, Kyle Larson, remains the points leader, but many believe the 21-year-old Elliott could be NASCAR’s next big thing. Two years ago, he started five times for Rick Hendricks, prep work for replacing Jeff Gordon in the No. 24. The plan worked perfectly. Elliott won two poles, finished 10th in points and was named NASCAR’s rookie of the year in 2016. This year, while Elliott has endured some obstacles, like Saturday’s mistake, he’s No. 6 in points. Elliott was visiting Indy to visit with drivers during the Battle of the Brickyard, a quarter-midgets race on part of the track’s road course. It’s sanctioned by the U.S. Auto Club. Though he never competed in quarter-midgets growing up, the son of former Cup champion Bill Elliott did get to drive go-karts at the track that will host the Brickyard 400 on July 23. Elliott has finished 18th and 15th in his only starts on the historic 2.5-mile oval. His father won the 2002 race. Only one father and son, Al Unser and Al Unser Jr., have ever won races at Indy, something Elliott — or Dale Earnhardt Jr. — can change in two weeks. “It would be great to win anywhere,” said Elliott, who is still seeking his first Cup win. “But it would be awesome to win here because it’s a special place.” Kyle Busch hopes Kentucky mastery ends win drought SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Kyle Busch hopes his Kentucky Speedway magic has enough shelf life to put him back in victory lane. He’ll have two chances to find out after discovering there’s plenty in reserve. The 2015 NASCAR Cup champion isn’t exactly panicking with a thirdplace points standing entering Saturday night’s 400-mile race at Kentucky Speedway. On the other hand, Busch arrived here last summer with three victories in hand before adding another at Indianapolis, which now seems like an eternity since he has gone 33 starts without a win. Fortunately for Busch, Kentucky arrived just in time to remind him why he loves the place. He earned poles for the Cup and Xfinity races on Friday, clocking a trackrecord 190.282 mph in rain-shortened qualifying to earn the right to lead the field to green in the main event. “Certainly, this place has just trended well for me and my team and everybody at Joe Gibbs Racing over the years,” Busch said, “and hopefully we can continue that pattern tomorrow night.” Busch has been Kentucky’s most dominant driver with two wins each across all three NASCAR national series, including the 1.5-mile track’s inaugural Cup race in 2011. Busch’s Cup win total is just one behind defending race winner Brad Keselowski, and another Kentucky triumph would firm up his playoff prospects unless somebody else figures out how to break through into the exclusive winner’s club that includes Matt Kenseth (2013). “We certainly think we have as good a shot as any to get back to victory lane there,” said Busch, who has led 437 laps in six Kentucky Cup starts. “It’s a place we get excited about, for sure.” The challenge facing fellow drivers this weekend is finding the formula on a track that has added yet another wrinkle. Not content with unveiling a resurfaced, reconfigured layout for last year’s event, Kentucky added another layer of asphalt last October to seal cracks that resulted in so-called “weepers” after showers. There were no such issues in Thursday night’s rain-delayed Trucks race. Reviews after two Cup practices under clear skies Friday were encouraging on many levels. “The repave here last year, even Texas this year was much better, more forgiving than a typical repave,” said Kenseth, who will start third after clocking 189.740 mph in a Toyota. “I feel like they’re making progress on that, whatever they’re doing. I think the racing will be OK.” How much Kentucky’s latest change levels the field, so to speak, and opens the door for a new winner remains to be seen. Considering there have been four first-time champions this season and seven different winners in as many races, seeing a fresh face smiling with the checkered flag wouldn’t be shocking. “There have been a lot of different winners this year, so that would be the trend,” driver Landon Cassill said. “Anytime you race on a new surface, the races are pretty unpredictable. So, I’d call for a pretty unpredictable race on Saturday night.” The race might be a bit more sentimental for Dale Earnhardt Jr. as he makes his final Kentucky start. Junior has posted two top-five runs and won the 2013 pole here along with making his feelings known about Kentucky’s bumpy former surface. Track general manager Mark Simendinger joked that the facility made improvements that have ended that discussion, leaving Earnhardt to develop the right package to challenge for a win. Such an outcome would obviously please Earnhardt’s legion of fans eager for a happy farewell. Especially since Kentucky turned out to be his finale last season before concussionrelated symptoms led him to shut it down. Though 22nd in points and riding a 54-race drought dating back to November 2015, Junior is happy to be healthy again and hungry to prove how far he has come — no matter where he finishes. “It reminds me about how much we had to overcome and how much rehab went into trying to get healthy,” Earnhardt said. “When you start racing this year, you kind of forget about last year. Little things like this will bring those memories back and remind you to be thankful and fortunate.” McCarty savoring his opportunity as US opens Gold Cup NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — This already has been a year of transition and triumph for Dax McCarty. He was traded in January from the New York Red Bulls to Chicago, which won its only Major League Soccer championship in 1998, and has helped turn around the Fire’s fortunes. And the 30-year-old midfielder returned to the U.S. national team for the first time in six years, brought back after Bruce Arena replaced Jurgen Klinsmann as coach. “It’s given me a lot of confidence,” McCarty said ahead of Friday’s CONCACAF Gold Cup opener against Panama. “Obviously with Chicago, we’re having a really good season.

I feel like I’m playing some of the best soccer that I’ve played in my career. I’m really happy with where I’m at mentally and physically. I absolutely think it can translate.” The U.S. tied Panama 1-1 in a March 28 World Cup qualifier at Panama City , though both teams are missing many top players for the Gold Cup. The U.S. has 30 wins, one defeat and three draws in Gold Cup group play, losing to Panama in 2011. Panama tied the Americans in the first round two years ago, then won on penalty kicks in the third-place match. “I think we’re going to face a team a little different than the team we saw in Panama in March,” Arena said. “They have some of those players not here. But we saw in Panama that they’re a very physical team. They put a lot of pressure on the ball.” The Gold Cup can struggle to gain traction amid a crowded soccer schedule, particularly in the year before a World Cup. The Confederations Cup just finished Sunday and some European clubs will soon be playing preseason exhibitions across the U.S. “Its importance is twofold,” McCarty said. “The first one is that we want to win a trophy. Any time you enter a tournament, that should be every single team’s goal — to win a tournament. Is it realistic for some teams here? Probably not. But it’s realistic for us. … I think we’re focused. I think we’re determined. I think we’re hungry. That’s a big goal of ours. “The second goal is to try to find guys who will continue to be able to contribute to the team for World Cup qualifiers and eventually in the World Cup next year. I think our team has a lot of depth. We’ve got a lot of good players in this pool, so the competition is fierce. Anytime you get a chance to step on the field when the so-called regulars aren’t here, you want to make a good impression.” World Cup qualifying resumes Sept. 1 against Costa Rica. McCarty and others trying to earn spots on next year’s 23-man World Cup roster are trying to impress the coaching staff. Arena says that during his years as an MLS coach, he often tried unsuccessfully to trade for McCarty. McCarty has made the most of the chance Arena has given him. He started a February exhibition against Jamaica and performed particularly well Saturday in a 2-1 exhibition victory over Ghana , his seventh international appearance. “You can argue that if a coaching change wasn’t made, I probably wouldn’t have ever played for the national team again,” McCarty said. “It’s benefited me greatly, obviously. I don’t take these opportunities for granted. I almost appreci- ate it more, I think, than some guys because I’m a little bit older and I don’t know how many times these chances will come around again.” The MLS standings show the impact McCarty can have on a team. New York traded McCarty on Jan. 16, two days after his wedding. The former Red Bulls captain tweeted at the time that the move had “blindsided” him . But he’s made himself at home with his new club. McCarty joined a team that posted the league’s worst record last season and has helped Chicago move to the top of the Eastern Conference. “It’s been a really, really positive year so far,” McCarty said. “Obviously started the year with not the most ideal circumstances, little bit of a shock to the system. But fast forward six months and I’d say that other than the unfortunate situation with the trade, it’s been one of the best years of my career.” Where YOU become part of OUR family!

It’s been the marquee name on the New York Liberty’s jersey since 2015. Kalish said it was too early to say if the site would offer any sort of promotions with the Liberty or MSG. “Having the partnership with MSG and the relationship with the team gives us a lot of options, experience packages, and ticket packages,” he said. “We haven’t gotten into those too, too much. As we start to get a better understanding of the performance that will help us to realize what we can do.” Daily fantasy games pit people against each other by picking a lineup of WNBA players. DraftKings contests will have participants choosing six WNBA players, which is different than the site’s NBA offerings where eight players are used. The WNBA entered a partnership with FanDuel before the season started, offering free contests in which participants can win courtside tickets and merchandise among other things. The NBA in 2014 became the first major pro league to partner with FanDuel. �CLASSIFIEDS Pictures that have been placed in ads at the Gallipolis Daily Tribune must be picked within 30 days.

In the early years, art work was displayed on small mesh fencing, referred to as “chicken wire,” in the Gallipolis City Park. This year, the Festival winners, the Jurors’ choices, are the July exhibit in the Galleries at Riverby, home of the French Art Colony. All of the other entries in the competition, both adult and children’s work, were displayed July 3 and 4 in the outdoor Pavilion at Riverby, safe from the weather. This year, there were 144 entries — 75 in the professional division, and 69 in the amateur division. From this total group, 13 pieces were juried in from the professional division, entered by 12 professional artists, and 19 works by 14 amateur artists. They included oils, pastels, watercolors, glass, mixed media, photography, monotype and collage, pen and ink drawings, alcohol ink, acrylic and bronze sculpture. Judging took place on Wednesday, June 21, with all juried pieces available as purchase awards on Thursday, June 22. Jurors, selecting works for the gallery exhibit, included Kevin Lyles, professor in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Rio Grande; Jan Safford, an art teacher in Point Pleasant Junior and Senior High Schools, and Elizabeth Jackson, an art teacher in the Gallia County School system. In the professional division, receiving first place honors, were Virginia Carvour, from Columbus, both for her pastel, “Fresh Snow,” and in mixed media for “Verdant Wetland.” In oil, it was “Mute Swans,” by Rhea Knight from Letart, W.Va. For watercolor, “Satter Path,” by Anne Shuff, from Proctorville, received first place, and was purchased by Gail Belville Rental Real Estate.

Hamilton of Patriot, for his sculpture, “Joenna: Identified as a Sculpture.” Winning both first place and Best of Show for his photograph, “St. Helena Rust,” was Matthew Ziff from Athens. Other winners in the professional division were Sharon Asher from Wurtland, Ky., second place in oil and acrylics, for her “Aspen Glow,” and Paul Brown, of Jackson, taking third place with his oil, “Amish Teepees.” Awarded second place for her mixed media, “Mermaid Loves Butterflies,” was Patricia Chapman from Huntington, W.Va. Also in mixed media, third place was awarded to Joy Duffy, of Gallipolis, for her “Sue City.” Laura Maul from Milton, W.Va., received second place in photography for “Connemara Memory,” and it was purchased by Jane Daniel. In the amateur division, Patricia Parsons from Vinton, took first place in sculpture, with her bronze, entitled “Horton, the Elephant.” First place in drawing went to Amee Sha Neal from Apple Grove, W.Va., for “Illusion.” In acrylics, Shelby Steele of Wurtland, Ky., was awarded first place in oil and acrylic for “Old Mowing Machine,” and it was purchased by the Ohio Valley Bank. For her watercolor, “After the Dance,” Carol Mazurek, of Huntington, received first place, and it was purchased by Jan Thaler. Her “Under the Sea” not only won first place in mixed media, but also received Best of Show in the amateur division. She also received honorable mention in mixed media for “A Light in the Storm.” Second place for oil and acrylics was awarded to Martha Detty Foster from Oak Hill, for her “Oh Happy Day.” For photography, Sherman Manis, from Parkersburg, W.Va., was awarded first place for “Mister Ruby,” and honorable mention for his “One Nation Under God.” Second place in photography went to Madelynn Howard Barrett from Portsmouth, for her “Night Bloom,” and it was purchased by Susan WillisSweets by Sue. Third place in photography went to Judith Cheek from Wheelersburg, for her “Snow Diamonds,” and it was purchased by The Wiseman Agency.

Her oil, “The Clearing,” and two alcohol ink works, “Crimson Radiance,” were purchased by Sandra Mayes, and “Peacock Perfection,” purchased by Allison Sanders. Joe Roush received honorable mention for his pastel, “Home Stretch,” and Diedra Lee from Point Pleasant for her pen and ink drawing, “Freedom.” In photography, there were two honorable mentions, Ken Hollett, from Huntington, for “Red Trees,” purchased by WesBanco, and “Still Water,” by Dr. John Viall, of Gallipolis, purchased by Holzer Health System. This year, 2017, marks 53 years the French Art Colony has continued to be a positive force, for providing and supporting the arts, in southeast Ohio. The FAC had its start in a second floor, one room studio, on the corner of Second Avenue and Locust Street. At the time, arts education, in local schools, was minimal and in those early years, with help from the Ohio Arts Council, the FAC began bringing artists in residency programs into the schools. The OAC was also in its formative years in the late 60s. Today, the FAC enjoys its permanent home, Riverby, acquired in 1971, and offers a variety of programs, in the schools and on site at Riverby. These include the exhibits in the galleries, live theatre by the Riverby Theatre Guild, music and visual arts lessons, programs in the schools and much more. Now in its 49th year, the Festival competition and exhibit attracts artists from surrounding states. Gallery hours at Riverby are Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The FAC is closed on Sunday and Monday. This year’s festival exhibit, open now through Aug. 5, has as a primary sponsor, Peoples Bank, with additional support from Ohio Valley Bank, WesBanco, US Bank, Farmers Bank, Mane Designers Salon & Spa, and program support from the Ohio Arts Council.

Kids who can’t swim face a much higher risk of drowning, so sign your children up for swimming lessons. Locally, the London Pool in Syracuse offers swim lessons. Learn CPR: While your children are learning how to swim, it’s important for you to learn CPR. In the case of an emergency, bystander CPR can often make a real difference while you’re waiting for emergency first responders to arrive at the scene. For information on CPR training contact the American Red Cross at www.redcross. org. Check Drain Covers: Be sure that the drain covers are not lose or broken. If you own a pool and you’re not sure if your covers are safe, a pool technician can let you know. Teach children to stay away from drains. Install proper fencing with self-closing, self-latching gate: A 48-inch-tall fence is the standard height. The fence should completely enclose the pool or pool area. If a door way opens up into a backyard with a pool, consider having an alarm installed on that door to sound when the door is opened. Also, be aware that small children could crawl through a pet door to access a backyard pool. We must prevent young children from being able to get near the water if an adult isn’t nearby. Teach kids to never swim alone: This is the tried and true “buddy system” that has been the standard for years. Be aware of your buddy at all times while swimming. Be knowledgeable of any health issues your buddy may have, such as asthma or seizures, that could affect their ability to swim and be on the lookout for those situations to arise. Swimming pool and spa drownings are completely preventable accidents. If you are fortunate enough to have these amenities in your back yard, please take care to ensure that proper safety measures are in place. If you have children, make sure they know how to be safe around water. Visit Poolsafely.gov for a free game app for kids to help teach them about pool safety. You can also find more information for adults and take the Poolsafely pledge to make sure your family is safer around water this year. Adult and child versions of the Poolsafely pledge are available. This great educational tool is free and available to everyone at Poolsafely.gov. Dawn Keller specializes in environmental health with the Meigs County Health Department. Wahama High School holds 57th alumni banquet MASON — Over 125 alumni and guests gathered at Wahama High School for the 57th annual alumni banquet. Classes graduating in years ending in 7 celebrated reunions. The Class of 1967 was the honored guest celebrating 50 years. Alumni were greeted and registered by Mary Artis, Judy Duncan McWhorter, Mary Foster Hendricks and Beverly Carson Knapp. Rex Howard, president of the alumni association, welcomed everyone to the alumni banquet. The invocation was given by Dale Machir, Class of 1967. The meal was prepared by the Lutheran Church of New Haven and served by the Sassafras 4-H Club. Following the meal, Chloris Machir McQuaid recognized veterans by announcing the name and branch of the military. Each veteran was given a star patch from StarsForOurTroops.org. They were packaged with the following inscription, “I am part of our American flag that has flown over the USA. I can no longer fly. The sun and winds caused me to become tattered and torn. Please carry me as a reminder that You are not forgotten.” Miss West Virginia USA, Lauren Roush, Class of 2013, spoke to the group about her journey to the title. She grew up in Mason and always felt like “the Princess of Center Street”. Lauren always dreamed of being Mason County Fair Queen and Miss West Virginia. She focused on perseverance and following your dreams. Although she did not capture the Fair Queen title, she is the reigning Miss West Virginia USA. Wahama Alumni Association Scholarship Committee presented $4,000 in scholarships to the following members of the Class of 2017: Philip Hoffman III, son of Philip Jr. and Tammy Hoffman; Amara Helton, daughter of Laura Smith; Nena Hunt, daughter of Robert and Nickki Hunt; Matthew Wood, son of Ryan and Tracy Wood; Kaleb Gibbs, son of Robin Gibbs; Madeline Grace Hill, daughter of Kevin and Annette Hill; Taylor McGrew, daughter of Ray and Pam McGrew and Krista Clay, daughter of Paul and Debra Clay. This year, the Alumni Association’s special fund for scholarships enabled the Association to award six additional scholarships. Alumni who are unable to attend the banquet are encouraged to pay dues and make dona- tions to the scholarship fund. A short business meeting was conducted and officers were elected for 2018. New officers are: President: Rex Howard; Co-President: Jim Stewart; Vice President: Chloris Machir McQuaid; Co-Vice President: Sonya Yonker Roush; Treasurer: Mary Artis; Secretary: Beverly Carson Knapp; Historian: Susan Zuspan Winebrenner; and Committee Members: Judy Duncan McWhorter, Mary Foster Hendricks and Diane Finnicum. Gifts were given to attending members of the Classes of 1943-1950. Attendees at the alumni banquet came from 12 different states. Six alumni traveled over 500 miles to attend the banquet, and two alumni traveled over 1,000 miles.
