ODNR to invest $510K to rehab dam Staff Report REEDSVILLE — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) received approval from the State Controlling Board this week to invest $510,000 in design improvements for the dam at Forked Run State Park in Reedsville. “This park offers tremendous opportunities for outdoor recreation, and we want to ensure that continues,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “Investing in this dam protects the park, the surrounding area, and, most importantly, our citizens.” A recent inspection of the dam found that improvements are needed for the lake drain, the stilling basin, and to address spillway capacity. ODNR plans to begin investigation and design of these issues to bring the dam back into full compliance with safety standards. A Class I structure, the dam at Forked Run Lake is an earthen embankment about 660 feet long with a maximum height of more than 54 feet. Activities at the lake include swimming, boating, fishing, and hunting. The dam was constructed in 1951 and is owned and operated by the ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft. In 2019, ODNR dedicated the new Cutler Lake Dam at Blue Rock State Park in Muskingum County and received national recognition for the rehabilitation of Buckeye Lake Dam. ODNR owns and operates 116 Class I, II, and III dams around Ohio and is responsible for inspect- ing and regulating more than 1,500 public and privately-owned dams statewide. ODNR works to ensure that dam systems are properly maintained and operated for the public’s safety. Located at 63300 State Route 124 in Reedsville, the 791-acre state park features a lake for boating, swimming and fishing, hiking trails, camping and much more. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov. Foundation announces changes to priority areas Announces 20-year commitment to mental health and addiction Staff Report PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — The Sisters Health Foundation’s new priority areas reflect their vigilant response to meet the most pressing needs of the Mid-Ohio Valley. Starting in their Fall 2020 grant cycle, which opens on May 1, the priority areas that will guide their work are Healthy Eating, Active Living; Thriving Neighborhoods; and Mental Health and Addiction. It is within the third priority area, Mental Health and Addiction, that the foundation’s board and staff have made a 20 year commitment to address these issues. “We made these changes based on listening to the community’s needs over the past two years,” Executive Director Renee Steffen stated. The foundation met with over 100 organizations at the local, state, and federal levels to help inform their strategy. “Our external environment is constantly changing, so as a funder, we recognize our role is to evolve as well.” Healthy Eating, Active Living was formerly named Healthy Lifestyles. The new priority area name better clarifies the foundation’s interest in funding. They are supportive of projects and strategies that prevent or manage chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease through healthy eating and active living. Requests that support behavior change are encouraged. Formerly Health Equity, the new Thriving Neighborhoods priority area speaks to the improvement of the external environment so that everyone has the ability to achieve their full potential. “Rather than exchange one academic term for another – health equity for social determinants of health,” Steffen said, “we decided to simplify it with this more apt title.” The foundation will still maintain emphasis on improving the accessibility, affordability, and quality of health and health care. In addition to this, requests that seek to address neighborhood conditions such as transportation, safe and stable housing, social connectedness, and access to high-quality early childhood programs will be considered. In each priority area, the foundation is interested in cross-sector collaboration and coalition work recognizing that one organization See CHANGES | 2 Ohio NAACP endorses ballot initiative to streamline voting JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news? Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state branch of the nation’s oldest civil rights organization endorsed an Ohio ballot initiative that is aimed at streamlining the state’s voting process. The NAACP’s Ohio Conference on Wednesday announced its backing for the Ohioans for Secure and Fair Elections measure. In a statement, conference president Tom Roberts said the NAACP sees the proposed measure as “a necessary step” to modernizing Ohio elections. Roberts said it fits with the organization’s “long and storied history” of fighting for voter access and expanded opportunities for voters of color and disenfranchised communities. If voters approve the proposal, Ohioans would be automatically registered to vote when conducting business at state Bureau of Motor Vehicles offices, and early voting locations would have to be open on the two weekends prior to Election Day. That would allow eligible voters to register and vote on the same day. The requirement that voters be registered during BMV trips, unless they opt out, is also part of pending House and Senate legislation. Other elements of their proposal would put guarantees in writing that military service members and overseas citizens receive their ballots on time and that voters with disabilities have equal access to the polls. Twenty-one states plus the District of Columbia have same-day voter registration, and more than a dozen have some type of automated voter registration, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Ohioans for Secure and Fair Elections filed paperwork with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office Jan. 22. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, January 31, 2020 OBITUARIES Daily Sentinel MEIGS BRIEFS EDWARD FINDLEY RACINE — Edward Findley, 68, of Racine, passed away, at 2:54 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020, in the Ohio Health O’Bleness Hospital, Athens, Ohio.

Thursday, Feb. 6 Friday, Feb. 7 Ex-TV weatherman pleads guilty COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A former television weatherman accused of downloading pornographic images depicting children pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in Ohio on Thursday. Mike Davis pleaded guilty in Franklin County Common Pleas Court in Columbus to four counts of pandering sexuallyoriented matter involving a minor. Authorities have said he downloaded and emailed the material to himself over a period of about seven years. Davis’ lawyer filed a motion last week asking that Davis be sent to a therapy program rather than prison. The motion argues that Davis used pornography in an attempt to self-medicate after suffering for years with various mental health issues, including severe depression and anxiety. Defense attorney Terry Sherman also wrote that Davis did not create, distribute or share the images and that there is no indication that Davis “has ever had any inappropriate contact with any minor children on any level.” Sherman declined on Thursday to make any additional comment on the case. Davis, 60, could face up to 29 1/2 years in prison at his sentencing March 25. The judge did agree to allow Davis to be screened for possible placement in a community-based correctional facility. Davis was fired from WBNS-TV in Columbus after his arrest in September. He had worked there for more than three decades. Standoff deputies quickly removed the female from the residence. The Athens County Sheriff’s Office SRT (Special Response Team) was called out to the scene at approximately 9 p.m. Negotiation specialists attempted negotiations for several hours with the suspect in hopes that he would peacefully exit the residence. During the time of the negotiations, the suspect reportedly became increasingly agitated, firing numerous gun shots in the direction of law enforcement officers and the surrounding homes. “Despite desperate negotiations and gas being deployed inside the residence, deputies returned fire after the suspect fired multiple shots at officers. The suspect suffered a fatal gunshot wound,” stated the release. The investigation into the matter is being handled by Ohio BCI. “During our strategic planning session this past summer, our board decided to take a bold move and make a 20 year commitment to the initiative of mental health and addiction and it is the first time we have put a long term time frame on any priority area.” Steffen added, “We need to stick with these issues for the long haul to make an impact. We know these issues can be multigenerational. Our hope is that there will be a sense of urgency to respond to these issues in a collaborative way.” The Fall 2020 grant cycle opens on May 1, under the new priority areas of healthy eating, active living; thriving neighborhoods; and mental health and addiction. The due date is July 15, 2020. By midnight of this date, submit a full application for the Basic Needs/Direct Service Grants Program or a letter of inquiry for the Responsive Grants Program. Nonprofits are encouraged to contact Sr. Molly Bauer, Senior Program Officer, at 304424-6080 or mbauer@ sistershealthfdn.org with questions about whether their grant request may be a good fit for the Basic Needs/Direct Ser- vice Grants Program. Letters of inquiry for the Responsive Grants Program may be submitted online at www.sistershealthfdn.org without scheduling a prior phone conversation. The Sisters Health Foundation promotes healthy and sustainable communities by providing resources, strengthening collaborative relationships and supporting initiatives that impact people in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Since 1996, the Sisters Health Foundation has awarded over $19 million in grants, with several having been awarded in Meigs County. From page 1 release, deputies, along with the female, entered the residence to retrieve her property. The suspect allegedly pointed a firearm towards all individuals including officers.

Trump trial edges on Associated Press WASHINGTON — Senate jurors peppered President Donald Trump’s defenders and accusers with final questions at his impeachment trial Thursday ahead of a crucial vote on calling witnesses, the focus shifting from details of the charges to whether it was time to simply acquit and conclude the trial. The vote on witnesses, expected Friday, could lead to an abrupt end of the trial with the expected acquittal. Or, less likely, it could bring weeks more of argument a s Democrats press to hear testimony f rom former national security adviser John Bolton and others. Thursday’s testimony included soaring pleas to the senators who will decide Trump’s fate, to either stop a president who Democrats said tried to cheat in the 2016 election and will again, or to shut down impeachment proceedings that Republicans insisted were never more than a partisan attack. “Let’s give the country a trial they can be proud of,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, the lead prosecutor for House Democrats. Americans, he said, know what it takes for a fair trial and won’t stand for anything less. Trump attorney Eric Herschmann countered that Democrats are only prosecuting the president because they can’t beat him in the 2020 election. “We trust the American people to decide who should be our president,” Herschmann said. “Enough is Enough. Stop all of this.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is toiling to keep Friday’s vote on schedule even as the trial is unearthing fresh evidence from Bolton’s new book and raising alarms among Democrats and some Republicans about a Trump attorney’s controversial defense. In a day-after tweet, Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz, complained about the portrayal of his testimony Wednesday when he said a president is essentially immune from impeachment if he believes his actions to be in the “national interest.” That idea left even some of Trump’s top allies backing away, including Dershowitz himself. “They characterized my argument as if I had said that if a president believes that his re-election was in the national interest, he can do anything,” the retired professor said Thursday. “I said nothing like that, as anyone who actually heard what I said can attest.” His words Wednesday night: “Every public official that I know believes that his election is in the public interest. And if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected is in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.” Asked about it as one of the first questions Thursday, Democrat Schiff, said, “Have we learned nothing in the last half century?” Schiff drew on the lessons of the Nixon era to warn of a “normalization of lawlessness” in the Trump presidency. “That argument - if the president says it it can’t be illegal - failed when Richard Nixon was forced to resign,” Schiff told the senators. “But that argument may succeed here, now.” Trump was impeached by House last month on charges that he abused his power like no other president, jeopardizing Ukraine and U.S.-Ukraine relations. Democrats say Trump asked he vulnerable ally to investigate Joe Biden and debunked theories of 2016 election interference, temporarily halting American security aid to the country as it battled Russia at its border. The second article of impeachment says Trump then obstructed the House probe in a way that threatened the nation’s three-branch system of checks and balances. “This is not a banana republic,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., rejecting the White House counsel’s suggestion there was nothing wrong with seeking foreign election interference. Democrats played a video showing the many times Trump called on Russia or China to intervene in U.S. politics, voicing his own belief such information could be helpful in a campaign.

The Psalmist said about the Lord, “… for thou hast lifted me up.” My bad health circumstances could have adversely affected my mindset and attitude. I could have been “down” mentally and emotionally. But, the Lord has kept me “lifted up.” He has kept me lifted up in that I still have a heart to love your mother. I still have a heart to preach. I still have a heart to be active as much as possible. I still have a heart to achieve as much as possible. It is because of the uplifting will of God.

The Red Raiders were plenty tough enough against No. 12 West Virginia. “We had to bounce back,” Davide Moretti said. “We get testy every afternoon at 3:30 in Lubbock, Texas,” coach Chris Beard said. “We strap it on. That’s what we do. All sorts of things to be concerned about when you’re playing West Virginia, but the testiness of it wasn’t an issue tonight.” Brad Tollefson | AP Moretti had a career-high Texas Tech’s Terrence Shannon Jr. (1) shoots the ball over West Virginia’s Taz Sherman (12) 25 points and a pair of during the first half Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas. Texas Tech won 89-81. Texas Tech freshmen also scored more than 20 in an 89-81 win over the physical Mountaineers on Wednesday night. Terrence Shannon Jr. added 23 points, including 12 of 14 free throws in a game plagued by 54 personal fouls. Jahmi’us Ramsey shed his facemask and scored 21 for the Red Raiders (13-7, 4-3 Big 12), who never trailed. “We didn’t take away anything that we actually talked about, practiced, drilled,” Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said. “When you don’t do that against Chris (Beard’s) teams you’re going to pay for it. They’re well-coached and made shots. We didn’t.” Texas Tech made 11 3-pointers, shot 54% overall (25 of 46) and was 28 of 32 on free throws. The Mountaineers were 33 of 41 from the free throw line while shooting 39% (22 of 57) from the field. Derek Culver had 16 points, with 14 made free throws, to lead five players scoring in double figures for West Virginia (16-4, 4-3). Gabe Osabuohien had 15 points, while Taz Sherman had 11.

The outpouring on Twitter and Instagram came in part after ESPN anchor Elle Duncan offered a tearful, personal remembrance of a chance meeting with Bryant two years ago while she was pregnant with a girl, and how proud he was of his daughters. Her story spread quickly this week in the aftermath of the helicopter crash that killed the basketball legend, his ball-playing teen and seven others in Calabasas, California. “When I reflect on this tragedy, and that half an hour I spent with Kobe Bryant two years ago, I suppose that the only small source of comfort for me is knowing that he died doing what he loved the most,” Duncan said on air. “Being a dad. Being a girl dad.” Her retelling Monday was watched by millions by Wednesday, when the hashtags #GirlDads and #GirlDad trended on Twitter. Bryant had three daughters at the time of their backstage, hallway chat in New York. He and his wife, Vanessa, had a fourth daughter last year. After Duncan’s story spread quickly, dads, daughters and girl moms celebrating their guys offered up their appreciation of their own, along with their love for Bryant as tributes to the sports great continued after Sunday’s crash. Alex Rodriguez, the father of two girls, was among the sports figures and other celebrities who posted: “I’m so proud and lucky to be a #GirlDad.” Regular dads also joined in, including Ken Heidelberg, 25, a shift supervisor for a Dallas security company. “How much I love you, words or action will never be enough,” he tweeted along with a video of his 1-year-old soon after she was born. “I look See #GIRLDADS | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Jan. 31 Boys Basketball Wahama at Eastern, 7:30 Athens at Meigs, 7:30 Ravenswood at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Federal Hocking at Southern, 7:30 Wheelersburg at Hannan, 7 p.m. Parkersburg Christian at Ohio Valley Christian, 7:30 Gallia Academy at Portsmouth, 7:30 River Valley at Wellston, 7:30 Girls Basketball South Gallia at Wahama, 6 p.m. Parkersburg Christian at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Hannan at Rose Hill Christian, 6 p.m. Wrestling West Virginia State Duals at Greenbrier Saturday, Feb. 1 Boys Basketball Eastern at Meigs, 7 p.m. Point Pleasant at South Gallia, 7 p.m. Vinton County at River Valley, 7 p.m. Southern at Waterford, 7:30 Girls Basketball Eastern at Warren, 6 p.m. Wrestling West Virginia State Duals at Greenbrier Eastern, River Valley at New Lexington, 10 a.m. Swimming River Valley at SEOSL at Kenyon University, 11 a.m. Wilfredo Lee | AP San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch speaks during a media availability Wednesday in Miami, for Super Bowl 54 against the Kansas City Chiefs. John Lynch enjoys success as 49ers GM MIAMI (AP) — John Lynch had just finished another season in the relatively cushy job as television analyst when he decided to call Kyle Shanahan three years ago and offer up his services as a general manager if Shanahan got hired as head coach in San Francisco. Shanahan, who was on a Super Bowl run as Atlanta’s offensive coordinator, was seeking a general manager he could work well with and jumped at the opportunity. “Kyle was real busy, he was coaching a team,” Lynch said. “And you know how Kyle talks. So he said ‘Hey, I’m going to have this dude, his name’s Jed, give you a call. I said, “Yeah, I know Jed.’” Niners CEO Jed York then invited Lynch for an interview in the Bay Area, starting the process that led to Shanahan and Lynch getting hired to team up to turn around a franchise mired in losing and dysfunction. That decision to leave his job at Fox and get back working with an NFL team worked about as well as everything else Lynch seems to do in his life. Lynch has helped build a roster that has the Niners in the Super Bowl this week against the Kansas City Chiefs, earning him the Pro Football Writers of America award as the league’s top executive in 2019. Lynch is now looking to have an almost perfect “Usually people like that just on average, usually, I think, I’m like, all right, the person’s got to be somewhat phony. What’s he really like? No one is really Captain America. So, you’re waiting to see how they are really. That’s probably the opposite of how I am.” — Kyle Shanahan weekend. He’s a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in voting to be conducted Saturday and could follow that up with a Super Bowl championship as an executive to join the title he won as a player in Tampa Bay 17 years ago. “I’ve dreamt about it and here we are,” Lynch said. “It would be a real nice weekend.” Lynch and Shanahan have formed the perfect pair in San Francisco. The two had never worked together before but were familiar with each other’s accomplishments. Shanahan studied Lynch’s play when he arrived as an assistant coach in Tampa Bay a year after Lynch had left for Denver. Lynch then played his final four seasons for Kyle’s father, Mike, and then spent years calling Kyle’s games as an analyst on Fox. Their team-building philosophies were so similar that when both were given a test by the 49ers on how to allocate 150 “points” as a fake salary cap to build a roster, they came up with nearly identical versions. “Maybe they hired us for that reason,” Lynch said. The two complement each other well. Lynch’s background is on defense as the former hard-hitting safety who played a key part on successful defenses in Tampa Bay and Denver, while Shanahan is considered an offensive guru who is one of the best play-callers in the game. Lynch has the warmer personality and often plays the role of “good cop,” while Shanahan is far more blunt and serves as the “bad cop” when needed. “Usually people like that just on average, usually, I think, I’m like, all right, the person’s got to be somewhat phony,” Shanahan said. “What’s he really like? No one is really Captain America. So, you’re waiting to see how they are really. That’s probably the opposite of how I am. But, then you get with John day in and day out, and that’s genuinely who he is. … To have that type of personality that’s just exactly who he is and on top of that to be one of the most violent, physical players I’ve ever seen, I think it’s as cool of a combination as there is.” Both were schooled in the 49ers way established by Bill Walsh back in the 1980s, with Kyle spending plenty of time around the team when his father was an assistant for three years in the 1990s and Lynch was playing for Walsh in college at Stanford. That similar philosophy was important for York, who had endured a period of conflict between coach and general manager that had led to coach Jim Harbaugh’s departure in 2014 after the only successful run the franchise has had this century. That relationship was put to the test early as the team started 0-9 the first season and then finished 4-12 in year two. But it was an off-field issue that ended up proving to York he was right when he gave the two matching six-year contracts after shuffling through three coaches the previous three years. The team had made an investment in linebacker Reuben Foster, trading up to draft him in the first round in 2017 and then sticking by him when he faced legal trouble the following offseason. But when Foster was arrested again at the team hotel on a trip to Tampa during the 2018 season on domestic violence charges that later were dropped, the two didn’t hesitate to cut the talented player immediately. “I don’t know that that would have been the case See LYNCH | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel WVU From page 6 After Shannon got a technical foul early in the second half for a slight shove of Culver under the basket following a whistle on a shooting foul, the Mountaineers made two of the four free throws and kept possession before Haley was fouled and then made both free throws to cut the deficit to 44-42. But Ramsey then made a 3-pointer, and by time he hit another with 16:14 left, Texas Tech had stretched its lead to 56-46. The Red Raiders led by as many as 15 while scoring the most points any team has had against the Mountaineers this season. “This was obviously a hard-fought win,” Beard said. “It was everything we expected from West Virginia, one of the most physical teams in college basketball. Above all, I thought our guys responded.” West Virginia heads back home to host Kansas State on Saturday. Unmasked Ramsey had worn a protective mask pretty much since he broke his nose when being hit in the face during AAU competition the summer before his senior year in high school. #GirlDads From page 6 at you and see perfection through my lens!” In a telephone interview, Heidelberg told The Associated Press his desire for a boy melted away the moment he and his wife hosted a gender reveal gathering on the campus of their alma mater, the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. She popped a balloon and the color pink erupted, to the joy of the couple and some of their invited sorority and fraternity sisters. Daughter August was born Nov. 15, 2018. “I cried,” he said. “Now that I have a daughter, I wouldn’t know what to do with a boy. I want all girls. Knowing that Kobe died with his daughter, I can’t imagine the pain as a parent.” Bryant was a doting dad with his wife, Vanessa. Bryant was fond of talking about his girls and being a girl dad. They were on their way to one of Gianna’s basketball games at the time of the crash. Duncan recalled asking Bryant two years ago if he wanted more children. “He said that his wife, Vanessa, really wanted to try again for a boy, but was sort of jokingly concerned that it would be another girl,” she said. “I was like, ‘Four girls, are you joking? What would you think? How would you feel?’” Bryant responded that all girls was just fine with him. Duncan’s ESPN clip has been viewed on Twitter more than 33 million times. Minnesota Viking Kyle Rudolph was also among the posters to share. He put out a photo of his two young girls, writing that he’s “raising 2 #Mambacita’s #GirlDad,” referring to the trademark Bryant filed for Gianna as a play on his own nickname, “The Black Mamba.” On “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2018, Bryant said Gianna bristled when she heard fans tell Chiefs defense under Spagnuolo rises to occasion “I just decided to get rid of it,” said Ramsey, who had his highestscoring Big 12 game. “I’ve been playing with it for a while, just decided to put it down.” MIAMI (AP) — Perhaps no defensive coordinator in the NFL had more pressure on him than Steve Spagnuolo this season. That might go for any assistant coach in any sport. He was hired by the Kansas City Chiefs for one reason: fix a defense that kept them out of the Super Bowl last season. It didn’t matter that such a simple task would require complicated changes, beginning with the move from a system based on three down linemen to one based on four, and that the Chiefs would need to turn over a third of their roster to fit it. The fact that the Chiefs are playing the 49ers on Sunday is pretty good proof Spagnuolo has succeeded. After a challenging first eight weeks marked by confusion, inconsistency and missed assignments, the Chiefs wound up fielding one of the best defenses in the NFL down the stretch. They matched the Ravens for fewest touchdown passes allowed in the final eight weeks, were among the league leaders in interceptions and yards allowed per attempt, and their advanced metrics demonstrated that they were nearly as good as San Francisco’s famously stingy bunch. “Talented group,” said 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who has spent the past Lots of whistles Moretti and Kyler Edwards fouled out of the game, while Shannon and Ramsey both finished with four fouls. West Virginia had four players end with four fouls. There were six technical fouls — three against West Virginia players, the one against Shannon and then one against each bench. After effects Texas Tech freshman guard Kevin McCullar missed the game while still in concussion protocol. He finished Saturday’s overtime game against Kentucky after a hard fall in the first half when his head hit the floor twice when taking a charge — after initially getting knocked down, then again when the opposing player then fell on top of him. Beard said McCullar was completely cleared at halftime Saturday, and his parents and doctors were involved in the decision for him to return. “What a courageous second half against Kentucky, and then the next morning a headache or two,” said Beard, adding that McCullar is improving. him he needed to have a boy to carry on his legacy. “She’s like, `Oi, I got this,’” he said. Bryant, a big supporter of the WNBA, had reached out to other girls in basketball. He met Tamika Catchings early on. She played basketball for the University of Tennessee, is a four-time Olympic gold medalist, spent 15 years in the WNBA for the Indiana Fever and is now the Fever’s general manager. Bryant and Catchings met her through her dad, Harvey Catchings, who played in the NBA from 1974 until 1985 for the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers. The elder Catchings told the AP by telephone from his suburban Houston home that his #GirlDad pride extends to all three of his daughters, including another ball player, Tauja Catchings, an All-American who played in college and overseas and now runs Catch the Stars, Tamika’s foundation. He’s the proud dad of two sons as well, including ball-loving Kenyon, 20. “Every Sunday, all of us, Tauja, Tamika and Kenyon and I, would go to the gym and work out together, just work on their game,” said the 68-year-old Catchings. “I loved the opportunity to just spend time with them, talk to them, listen to what they wanted to do when they grew up. Mika wanted to be the first girl to play in the NBA. You never know. Some girl may do it one day.” Catchings recalled how Tamika was bullied as a young girl. She wore hearing aids and had thick glasses. “They used to make fun of her at school,” he said. “I used to tell her that she was my perfect child and that she could whatever she wanted to do. She did what Kobe did. She said, `I’m going to compete at a much, much higher level. Because I can. Because I will.’” Friday, January 31, 2020 7 Lynch From page 6 with every other coach or every other general manager — not just here, but across the league, because it’s hard to give up on talent,” York said. “That, to me, 10 days trying to find their weaknesses before kickoff Sunday. “Their overall team speed, they mix it up in coverages, they don’t really — they’re trying not to give you anything easy. So it makes it difficult, honest.” Honest? Sounds as if Garoppolo thinks some people need some convincing. They’re probably the ones that watched the Chiefs last season. That’s when their defense under thencoordinator Bob Sutton hemorrhaged yards like water through a sieve. It’s when aging veterans beaten down by injuries couldn’t get on the field. It’s when a unit held together by string and tape couldn’t stop Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in overtime of the AFC championship game, losing an opportunity to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1970 without giving their own dynamic offense a chance. Even coach Andy Reid, who is famously loyal to his assistants, knew that changes needed to be made. So he quickly parted with Sutton, his longtime friend, and tracked down Spagnuolo, who had spent a year away from coaching. Spags, as he’s known to just about everyone, was burned out after his latest turn as the New York Giants’ coordinator had ended with a stint as interim head coach. So rather than jump back onto the sideline, Spagnuolo jumped into his car, driving each Monday to NFL Films headquarters in New Jersey to break down game tapes from the previous weekend. He watched. He dissected. He learned. When Reid called him up last winter, and Spagnuolo accepted the monumental task in Kansas City, he had a clear picture of what he wanted to accomplish. Spagnuolo sought to craft a defense that swarmed to the ball, masked his variety of exotic cornerback and safety blitzes, and that shut down opposing passing games in the modern, all-aerial NFL. “He was not someone I met before,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said, “but it’s pretty clear now he’s an outstanding defensive coordinator. The job he’s done to turn around our defense has been tremendous. One of the question marks going into the season was, ‘Can you make the changes we’ve been making in that short of time?’ He did that.” Eventually. But things were a bit sketchy early in the season, when the long list of newcomers — defensive end Frank Clark, safety Tyrann Mathieu, cornerback Bashaud Breeland and others — were still acclimating themselves. “I’d say about Week 7, about the time we played Denver and guys had like nine sacks that game, things started to come together piece by piece,” Chiefs linebacker Reggie Ragland said. “The front started it and then it just trickled on to the back end. (Mathieu) is doing a great job believing in the boys in the back.” Indeed, the Chiefs’ star safety became the captain of the secondary, if not all of Spagnuolo’s defense. His skill set perfectly fit the aggressive scheme the Chiefs had introduced, giving him the freedom to make plays all over the field. is one of the defining moments of John and Kyle, being able to say, ‘This is a first-round pick, in our first year, and we moved on from it,’ and it was hard, and we could have justified not moving on from it.” The moves since then have paid off in a big way with offseason addi- tions of pass rushers Dee Ford and Nick Bosa, along with speedy linebacker Kwon Alexander that transformed the defense into one of the league’s top units. Then the Niners added the final piece they needed during the season when they acquired receiver Emmanuel Sanders from Denver in a trade that sparked the offense. And now the Niners are back in the Super Bowl. “I never thought you could equal the feeling of going to the (Super Bowl) as a player, but this one’s just as good,” Lynch said.

The target score is just one of them. “We spent a lot of time considering the right target number to use for the fourth quarter,” said Byron Spruell, the NBA’s president for league operations. “Through the events of this week it became clear to us that the only appropriate number for this season’s All-Star game is 24.” The target score is the latest addition to the NBA’s quest to make the game more competitive, something that players have wanted for some time. This is the third year where the NBA has had a format where captains — it’ll be the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo in those roles this year, just like last year — get to draft their teams, something that will take place next week. “We’ve been very focused on making it more competitive, making it more exciting and making it fun,” Spruell said. “And we’ve had a great collaboration with (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN SHERIFF’S SALE, CASE NO. 19 CV 033, FARMERS BANK AND SAVINGS COMPANY, PLAINTIFF, VS.

Though the league requires teams to interview minority candidates, only two African-Americans have been hired for 19 open head coaching spots over the past three years. The league has only two minority general managers among the 32 teams. “Clearly we are not Alliance, but others. And trying to figure out what steps we could take next that would lead to better outcomes. It’s clear we’re all committed to doing that, and we have to make those changes. “We will have a series of meetings which we’ve already scheduled over the next month to get that kind of dialogue going, to continue the dialogue to try to determine what are the solutions so we can have those better outcomes,” he added. The Rooney Rule, where we want to be on this level,” Goodell said at his annual Super Bowl news conference. “We have a lot of work that has gone into not only the Rooney Rule but our policy overall. It’s clear we need change and do something different. “There’s no reason to expect we’re going to have a different outcome next year without those kinds of changes and we’ve already begun engaging in those changes. Not just with our diversity committee, not just with the Fritz Pollard which has been adopted by other leagues and businesses, calls for a minority candidate to be interviewed for head coaching and executive openings such as general managers. Critics have said those interviews are often simply token responses to the rule and that the minority candidates are not seriously considered for those positions. Goodell also addressed negotiations between the NFL Players Association and the league on a new labor deal. The current 10-year contract runs out in March 2021 and there is optimism on both fronts that a new deal would be finalized before this March when the 2020 league year begins. “We’ve been having incredibly productive dialogue,” Goodell said. “I think we’ve made a lot of progress at now seven or eight months since we began those discussions more formally. “I think we’ve addressed difficult issues that face our league going forward and looking forward. I think both the players and management and everyone at the negotiations have worked to try to find creative solutions to make the NFL better, and that’s what you want.” As for putting a timetable on a potential agreement, Goodell wouldn’t speculate. “The process will close when the process closes, when all of us feel comfortable that we’ve reached an agreement that we want to go forward with,” he said. “I don’t know when that will be. I think it’s more important to get it right.” Bickering escalates over MLB plan to cut 42 teams in minors NEW YORK (AP) — Bickering over Major League Baseball’s proposal to cut 42 farm teams escalated Wednesday with the exchange of acrimonious letters by the commissioner’s office and the governing body of the minor leagues. MLB deputy commissioner Dan Halem wrote some minor league owners view their affiliation with a big league franchise “as a commodity with a fixed value that is bought and sold for a profit similar to a taxi medallion.” The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, the governing body of the minors, said in a letter to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred that the motivation for MLB’s proposals was “related to the staggering difference in payrolls among MLB teams.” In negotiations to replace the Professional Baseball Agreement that TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 34° 40° 41° A rain or snow shower in spots this afternoon.

Halem wrote the only formal proposal made by the minors was last March 1 and “essentially rolled-over the existing agreement for another decade, except that it reduced MiLB’s share of the expenses.” The minors said in a statement they had provided “numerous substantive proposals.” 61° 49° A: Snow.
