Clarett played for The Ohio State University in 2002 — breaking many records and helping the team win the national championship against Miami as a freshman. Growing up in Youngstown, Ohio, Clarett didn’t have an easy childhood. He said the first time he got into trouble was when he was 10 years old and he was sent to a juvenile jail for three days. By the age of 12, he had seen three people killed. Clarett was told by a judge to put his time and energy into sports and that is what he did. It took Clarett a few years to realize the talent he had. He thought because he was from a small town, he didn’t have a special gift and he did not think he would make it anywhere with football. After his freshman year at OSU, Clarett got swept up in the fame POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The official comment period on the draft Air Quality Permit issued in regards to the coal-toliquids plant proposed by Domestic Synthetic Fuels (DS Fuels), is underway.

At the beginning of his sophomore year, he was suspended from the football team for two years and had 125 violations against him. He left OSU and started drinking more, smoking more, and making irresponsible decisions. In February 2005, around two years since he played his last game, Clarett was invited to the NFL combine to run drills with the top players in the 2005 draft class. In April of that year, Clarett was drafted in the third round by the Denver Broncos. He played for them for four months before he was cut from the team. Clarett went back to Ohio and he realized he was depressed. He was confused, stressed, and had anxiety.

After that time, I heard about her story from her sister, my grandmother, over the years. I inherited scrapbooks, photo albums and a handwritten life story by my great aunt who lived here for 41 years.” Haschart said she had shared some of her research with Gallia Historical Society’s Cheryl Enyart and the pair believe that Haschart’s aunt may have had access to a camera during her time at GSI. driver’s license issues related to their particular offices. “We are holding this clinic to take advantage of the Ohio BMV reinstatement fee amnesty program, which is presently scheduled to be phased out on July 31,” explained Barr. “Not having a valid operator’s license is a big problem for many citizens of Meigs County, and I have discovered that many of these folks have done everything necessary to get their license back, except pay the reinstatement fees to the Ohio BMV… most of these people just can’t afford it,” stated Barr.

Construction efforts are reported to start July 8 and slated to end in August. The project’s contractor is Axis Civil Construction. “Basically, this is an improvement to the sidewalks for pedestrian traffic, by and large,” said Rob Sharrett, president of Axis Civil Construction. “There is a little bit of drainage work up by the dollar store. It’s minimal. A day or two. Predominantly, what we’ll need to do is build that embankment along the Marathon Station and the state route and fill it back so it’s wider and will culminate in a five-foot walkway. The sidewalk goes up to the intersection and stop signs and will continue on towards the college and it will tie into the existing walk. It’s very little if any paving.

It would increase spending on foster care by $35 million a year over current spending of $60 million annually in reaction to huge increases in custody placements blamed on Ohio’s addictions epidemic.

Don’t be grossed out. Earworm is a term for songs or snippets of songs that get stuck in your head. I noticed that many mornings when I wake up I’ve got a song stuck in my head, so I started keeping track of them. One morning recently — a wet one, courtesy the never-ending spring shower that is 2019 — my earworm of the day was a deluge of rain songs. From my damaged inner ear to yours, here they are. I’ve put a YouTube link with each song, and here’s a link to a Spotify playlist, The Rains 2019 https://spoti.fi/2Y0TMTr. “I Can’t Stand the Rain” – the rainy day earworm that woke me up and Gary started this. It’s by Little Feat’s LowPresley ell George from his only solo album, Contributing “Thanks, I’ll Eat it Here.” A gorgeously columnist sorrowful song of lost love that has a great slide guitar solo. Favorite lines: “I know you’ve got/Some sweet memories/But like the window/You ain’t got nothing to say.” https://bit. ly/2RnOyi6 “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” – classic rain song by Creedence Clearwater Revival from a long time ago. We should update it to “Have you ever seen it stop raining?” Favorite lines: “Have you ever seen the rain/Comin’ down on a sunny day?” https://bit. ly/1ksaIMp “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” – Gotta have a little Bob Dylan for the rain that’s blowin’ in the wind, right? I’m not a big Dylan fan, but this played over the end credits of a Ken Burns’ “Vietnam” episode the other night and stuck in my head. Favorite lines? It’s Dylan – so many lines! How about: “And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it/And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it.” https://bit. ly/2CGmsqx “Rainy Days and Mondays” – ah, the Carpenters. Sigh. Lovely song written by Paul Williams, who also gave us a post-storm “The Rainbow Connection” with Kermit the Frog. https://bit.ly/PG69AH “Purple Rain” – a whole different kind of rain by Prince, wrapped up in a show-stopping anthem. See the movie. Favorite lyric: “Purple rain, purple rain/ Purple rain, purple rain/Purple rain, purple rain.” Even I can memorize lyrics like this. https://bit. ly/2DmouMn “Fire and Rain” – maybe my all-time favorite rain song by James Taylor. Favorite lines, the chorus: “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain/I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end/I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend/But I always thought that I’d see you again.” Rain and tears. https://bit.ly/1v9I1mW “Here Comes the Flood/Red Rain” – a double dose of drenched downers by Peter Gabriel. Downers, but beautiful downers. Gabriel had the good sense to package them together on “Shaking the Tree,” a greatest hits album. Tracks nine and 10.

THEIR VIEW Ohio’s suicide rate is alarming Suicide is tragic and traumatizing. But, prevention, intervention, and postvention need to be consistently discussed in homes, schools, and communities. Whether city or country dwellers, suicide needs to be addressed. Countywide and statewide, suicide education needs to be at the forefront. A new study on suicide in Ohio was released by The Ohio Alliance for Innovation in Population Health (the Alliance includes 28 partner organizations). Additional resources for the study included the Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Ohio Death Certificate File and the Centers for Disease Control. The Ohio University’s College of Health Services and Professions summarized results in a news release. There were 15,246 suicide deaths in Ohio over the 10-year span from 2008 to 2017 according to the study. The research indicates that the suicide rate within Ohio’s younger population (29 and younger) has increased by 33 percent since 2008. And between 2008 and 2017, 161 suicides occurred among those 14 years of age or younger.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Police say an Ohio man killed an antiques dealer, left her body in his family’s rented storage locker, then confessed and was charged with murder. Thirty-five-year-old Michael Olson, of Coventry Township, is being held on bond of $1 million in the death of 68-year-old Mary Kay Wohlfarth, of Akron. No attorney for Olson is listed in court records. Wohlfarth was a popular local antiques dealer who rented a unit in the same storage facility. Her body was found Wednesday. Police say Olson was seen driving Wohlfarth’s minivan near the storage facility. The Akron Beacon Journal reports Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards says investigators don’t know why Wohlfarth was killed. The Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office said Friday that Wohlfarth died from blunt force trauma to the head and neck. cates to help normalize the mental health issues in society. “It’s funny how things you resisted when you were younger, are the things you teach,” Clarett said.

Clarett also encourages youth to take control over their actions and to be good people, because “at some point, all talent runs out and then the rest of who you are, is what you do,” Clarett said.

The older group camps first, youth in grades seven up to age 21. The following week the younger group camps, youth age 9 up to sixth grade. Lorrie Wright, extension agent, shared many do not understand how much work goes into putting camp together each year. The Camp Committee begins the planning process each year in January. An “enormous” amount of support comes from volunteers each year who dedicate several hours of their time prepping for camp. Along with the volunteers, community support is crucial for camp each year as well. When youth attend 4-H camp, they spend their week with their designated tribe being either Cherokee, Delaware, Mingo, or Seneca. Campers participate in several activities while at 4-H Camp, a typical day at camp consists of tribal meetings, tribal duties, sports activities, full group assemblies, classroom instruction, council circles, and evening programs. Campers play games and have fun, but they also attend classes that consist of everything from archery to crafts, wood shop, air rifles, photography, slate painting, fairy gardening, leather crafting, balancing a check book, learning how to act in emergency situations, and more. Rockin’ Reggie also comes out every year to DJ for both the older and younger campers during evening programs. This year at younger camp, the youth had special lessons on Native American culture and American flag etiquette. Chloe Patrick, an 11 year old who is about to go into sixth grade at Roosevelt Elementary, shared she joined 4-H because she wanted to work in the community, make new friends, and show animals at the fair. “When I was little, I walked around the fair and looked at the animals. I also watched kids show their animals. I thought 4-H seemed amazing and I wanted to do it,” said Patrick. “4-H camp, to me, is the best week of summer. I get to see friends from the year before and make new friends. I get to participate in a lot of fun activities…my favorite part about camp is council circle because each tribe works together to create songs and skits. I am a Cherokee and we have a lot of fun, we have council circle every night and it is awesome.” Wright commented both of the camps this year went very well even Courtesy photos The youth at 4-H camp enjoy several different activities during their stay.

Older camp was actually one of the best Wright has experienced and for the younger camp none of the new campers went home because of homesickness. Camp is a place where local youth, even if they are in different school districts, can come together and form a bond. 4-Hers work Older campers participating in songs and pledges with their group.

Katherine Deem, a 20 year old college student at West Virginia University for secondary English education, shared she has been involved with 4-H for several years, beginning as a clover bud as a young child. “4-H has become like a second home for me, I could write books about what camp means to me,” said Deem. “So many laughs have been had there, priceless memories made, and truly lifelong friendships formed. My 4-H friends are my forever friends and every year I look forward to reuniting with those I don’t get to see as often, we pick up right where we left off like we never left. The people are truly what make 4-H camp the best it can be, I adore my Campers enjoying a game of four square. Mingo tribe.” At older camp, explained Wright, before the campers go home they always have a candle lighting ceremony and the campers come up and talk about what 4-H camp means to them. “To me, camp means leadership,” said Karli Stewart, a 16 year old who is getting ready to go into her 11th grade year at Wahama High School. “I get to serve as a leader to younger kids each year when I attend the Mason County younger camp as a junior counselor. It is a great feeling knowing that these young 4-Hers look up to me. My favorite part about 4-H camp is getting to reunite with my friends throughout the county that I’ve made over the years.” Erin (Perkins) Johnson is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.

The theme for the week was “Dive into Reading.” The hallways and cafeteria of the school were decorated with balloons and ocean scenes and fact sheets about ocean animals and ocean life on the hallway walls. These fact sheets were used for a scavenger hunt where students found information about the ocean to win a prize. A book fair was held in the school library in conjunction with the Right to Read Week activities. Each day, students dressed to represent the theme of the day. Each morning, Mrs. Stout read a trivia question that pertained to the theme. Prizes were awarded to the winners of the various contests all week. Tiffany Riehm from the 4-H Extension Office led activities for each class to participate. The entire school went to South Gallia High School to watch the Rebel Review. Michael Barry and Bobby Angel, US Army Corps of Engineers underwater divers and welders, came to talk to the students about their jobs. Each student had the opportunity to try on a diving helmet. Rachael Barker and Kim Wilcoxen from Bossard Memorial Library led a workshop of various activities for each of the students. Also, the Magic Mirror was there for students to take pictures with props. Students in the upper grades read to kindergarten through second grade students at various times throughout the week.

The American Legion Post 39 baseball team broke a 4-4 tie on Thursday in Jackson County with a grand slam home run from Billy Harmon, propelling the Rangers to a 9-4 victory over host Ripley. Post 39 (5-2) took a 3-0 lead in the top second inning, with Harmon scoring on an error, Briar Wolfe singling home Coltin Parker, and Wes Smith singling in Cooper Peters. The hosts took the lead with a four-run bottom of the second, but a bases loaded walk in the top of the third tied the game at four. Harmon’s go-ahead grand slam came with two outs in the top of the fourth inning, with Carter Smith, Colton Reynolds and Cole Arnott on base. Wes Smith capped off the Rangers’ 9-4 victory with one out in the top of the fifth, scoring on a passed ball. Reynolds was the winning pitcher of record, striking out five batters, walking three, and giving up one hit in three shut out innings of relief. Hunter Blain started on the mound and allowing four unearned runs on one hit and four walks, while striking out three. Harmon led the winning offense, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and four runs batted in. Wolfe was 2-for-3 with an RBI in the win, Arnott singled once and scored twice, while Wes Smith ended with a single, a run and an RBI. Parker and Carter Smith both singled once and scored once for the Rangers, Brody Jeffers chipped in with a single, while Reynolds and Peters scored a run apiece, with Peters also earning an RBI.

Stone, who has a total of 154.0, is currently 4.5 points ahead of runner-up Kenny Pridemore. Only 23 players were available on Tuesday, making up five four-man teams and one trio. The low score of the day was a 16-under par 54, fired by the quartet of Stone, Rich Mabe, Kenny Greene and Tom Scarberry. Six shots back was the second-place team of Pridemore, Jimmy Gress, Ed Coon and Duck Ramsey. The closest to the pin winners were Bill Yoho on the ninth hole, and Bob Humphreys on No. 14.

Tony Dejak | AP Cleveland Cavaliers’ Dylan Windler and Darius Garland hold up jerseys during a news conference Friday in Independence, Ohio. The Cavaliers selected Garland with the No. 5 overall pick Thursday night despite the point guard playing in five games at Vanderbilt before injuring his left knee. Garland was always on Cleveland’s radar, but they became convinced that he was the right choice during a private workout last week in Los Angeles. Point taken Cavs select Garland with No. 5 pick in draft This isn’t the first time the Cavs have rolled the dice on a high draft pick. A similar gamble with a point guard turned out well in 2011, when the team took Duke’s Kyrie Irving at No. 1 overall despite him playing in just 11 college games. Irving not only blossomed into an All-Star, CLEVELAND (AP) — but made the biggest shot in franchise history Darius Garland’s shortlived college career didn’t — a go-ahead jumper in the waning moments scare off the Cavaliers. of Game 7 of the 2016 They’ve had luck with Finals as the Cavs beat an injured point guard Golden State for their before.

I’m a competitor. I’m ready to get to Cleveland.” — Darius Garland Bucks for forward Tony Snell and the 30th pick. Trades can’t be completed until the new league year starts on July 6. The Cavs plan to pair Garland in the backcourt with Collin Sexton, a lottery pick in 2018 who shook off a slow start to have a strong rookie season. Sexton played point last season, but is considered more of a shooting guard and scorer. “I just like to win,” Garland said moments after sharing a hug on stage at New York’s Barclays Center with Commissioner Adam Silver. “I’m a competitor. I’m ready to get to Cleveland.” Vanderbilt fell apart after losing Garland. The Commodores were 4-0 with him, but went 5-23 the rest of the way, losing their last 20 games. Porter has talent, but he’s also been in trouble. He averaged 9.5 points and made 41 percent of his 3-pointers last season, but was suspended by the Trojans for unspecified reasons. Although there was a flurry of trade activ- ity prior to the draft sandwiched around Cleveland’s No. 5 pick — Atlanta moved to No. 4 and Minnesota to No. 6 — the Cavs stayed put. General manager Koby Altman considered several offers to move up and down, but never found the right deal and chose the 6-foot-3 Garland, who averaged 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in his brief collegiate career. Garland is represented by agent Rich Paul, whose clients include LeBron James as well as current Cavaliers J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson. Smith was exiled from the team last season, and the Cavs have been shopping him to dump his $15.7 million contract for next season and open up salary-cap space. Garland is the first player selected by Cleveland since the team hired former Michigan coach John Beilein, who built a sterling reputation in college developing young players. Garland’s father, Winston, played in the NBA from 1987-95. �SPORTS 2B Sunday, June 23, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Riverside records 7th Ace conclusion of play each week.

Quicken Loans CEO Jay Farner said Gilbert was discharged Wednesday from Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. The 57-year-old Gilbert was taken to the hospital by a family friend while experiencing stroke-like symptoms on May 26. He suffered the stroke while under medical care and was taken into surgery for a catheterbased procedure. Cavs general manager Koby Altman opened his news conference following Thursday’s NBA draft by saying the organization was lifted by news of Gilbert’s release. Altman said he was able to FaceTime with Gilbert earlier in the day. “For the first time in a couple weeks I was able to talk to him,” Altman said. “He looks great, he’s doing really well. We got to talk to him about our vision and plan, none of which has changed much. That was really, really positive and exciting, sort of gave us more of a jolt of energy and goodwill.” Altman said Gilbert remains driven. “Dan’s on the path to recovery,” he said. “It’s still going to be a long recovery. His mind’s still intact and he still sounded like Dan, which is super aggressive and go after this thing. So great news there and a shoutout to the Gilbert family, who has been through so much these past few weeks. He was with us and his kids were with today and it was a great day for us and them.” Rangers ted two errors in the game, and Post 39 left eight runners on base, one more than Ripley.

Williamson welcomed to New Orleans METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Zion Williamson and his family were met with applause and traditional New Orleans jazz as they walked into the Pelicans’ headquarters. The practice gym was filled with team employees and executives eager to welcome the player who has infused the franchise with so much more promise than it appeared to have when six-time All-Star Anthony Davis requested a trade five months ago. Williamson, who was in New York a night earlier when the Pelicans made him the NBA’s top overall draft choice, smiled and looked relaxed in his blue suit and white designer sneakers. When the music was turned down and it was time for Williamson to address the gathering, he spoke with an easy manor and kept his comments short and simple. He promised maximum effort and flexibility, but stopped short of forecasting the type of greatness for himself that so many others have predicted. “I look at things from a realistic point of view,” Williamson began during his formal introduction to his first professional home on Friday evening. He called the praise being showered upon him “a bit much,” and reminded everyone that he is still a couple weeks short of his 19th birthday. “I haven’t played one (NBA) game yet, so I look at it just like that,” Williamson said. “I’m just trying to contribute to the team.” The 6-foot-7, 285-pound forward will probably do a lot more than that, given the force of nature he was in his one season at Duke. He averaged 22.6 points for the Blue Devils and was voted to the ACC’s All-Defensive Team. He also averaged 8.9 rebounds, 2.12 steals and 1.8 blocked shots. Pelicans new executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin has sought to temper expectations by asserting that Williamson is “not the savior” of the small market franchise that was won two playoff series since relocating from Charlotte in 2002. Griffin also has stated repeatedly that veteran guard Jrue Holiday is the unquestioned leader of the team — which didn’t seem to bother Williamson at all. Williamson visited New Orleans for just a day of meetings before the draft and had dinner at renowned Uptown restaurant Commanders Palace. This second trip is expected to span at least the weekend, and dinner at a downtown steak place was on tap Friday night, followed by his first community service event at a playground in eastern New Orleans on Saturday. His parents and siblings also have made the trip, and they were expected to help the Pelicans’ newest star look for a place to live. Williamson said he enjoyed the televised images of fans in New Orleans celebrating wildly in a downtown street upon his selection. “I didn’t think I deserved all that,” he said with a smile, “but it was just passion for the team.” Even Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry and owner Gayle Benson struggled to contain their enthusiasm for Williamson’s arrival. “To receive the No. 1 pick in the draft is a prize any sports team would covet; this one is different,” Benson said. “We could not have asked for a better player with more potential on the court. More importantly, we could not have hoped for a better person to represent and help lead our franchise into this new chapter.” Added Gentry, “You don’t get to coach guys like this very often. When you’re lucky enough to have a generational player like that that you’re going to be able to coach, you relish just the honor of being able to coach a guy like that.” “You have to have the talent, but you have to have people that have the character that he has. It’s going to be enjoyable to see the style of basketball that we’re going to play. He more than fits into it. It’s going to be exciting to watch.” Williamson said it is easy for him to take such comments — and superstar treatment from fans — in stride. “The thing that keeps me grounded is, I just always think about the times when, like, it was just me, my stepdad and a basketball on an outdoor court,” he said. The Pelicans had the right to draft Williamson first overall after an unlikely victory in the NBA’s draft lottery last month. Before the lottery, odds were that Williamson would wind up in one of the NBA’s largest markets with the New York Knicks. Instead, he’ll be in one of the smallest. But his stepfather, Lee Anderson, said New Orleans was exactly where he was hoping his stepson would go. “I am so thankful,” Anderson said. “I thought this city would be a great place to go, and God worked it out.” Japan hails Hachimura’s NBA selection Will usher in a new era for the sport nese player drafted in NBA history was Yasutaka Okayama, who went 171st overall in 1981. He never appeared in a regular-season game, something just two players from the country have done: Yuta Tabuse for the TOKYO (AP) — Japa- Phoenix Suns in 2004-05, nese basketball officials, and Yuta Watanabe for the Memphis Grizzlies in fans and media hailed 2018-19. the selection of Rui “The fact that Hachimura in the NBA Hachimura, a product of draft, saying the move the Japanese basketball will usher in a new era system, has been selected for the sport in Japan.

By taking a prominent role in a league that is difficult for Japanese players to enter, he will give hope to many Japanese people.” — Masahiko Shibayama Japan’s education minister Keisuke Tsutsumi, an office worker who follows the NBA. “It will take the sport to a new level here.” Hachimura’s junior high school coach Joji Sakamoto welcomed the news of his draft selection. Sakamoto coached Hachimura in his native Toyama Prefecture and said he saw potential in his student from a young age. “I told him to visualize his dream, and now it will be a reality,” the 59-year-old Sakamoto said. Japan’s education minister Masahiko Shibayama said Hachimura had given hope to a generation of young players in his home country. “It’s really wonderful,” Shibayama said. “By taking a prominent role in a league that is difficult for Japanese players to enter, he will give hope to many Japanese people.” Hachimura’s rise couldn’t come at a better time with Tokyo building to host the 2020 Olympics. Japan’s national men’s team has qualified as host country and Hachimura could play a leading role at both the Olympics and the World Cup in China later this year. Wizards interim general manager Tommy Sheppard mentioned the 21-year-old’s play for Japan’s national team. “For Japan to qualify for the world championships, he’s the focal point. And when the (Tokyo) Olympics come in 2020, he’s going to be the focal point of that country on that basketball team,” Sheppard said. “To be able to shoulder that load at his age — the maturity he has — I think that’s going to bode well for him in the NBA.” Now on the clock: Chaos. The NBA offseason is about to kick into high gear. A draft that had good bits of intrigue — at least after New Orleans’ Zion Williamson, Memphis’ Ja Morant and New York’s R.J. Barrett were chosen first, second and third in moves that were widely expected for weeks — is now done. Up next is free agency, which will be much more unpredictable when it begins on June 30. Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Kemba Walker and Kyrie Irving all were AllStar starters this past season and may soon change addresses. So might fellow All-Stars Khris Middleton, Nikola Vucevic and Klay Thompson. Al Horford has apparently decided to leave Boston. Anthony Davis has already been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, or at least will be traded when the new league year begins July 6. “We’ll have more answers then,” Boston Celtics President Danny Ainge said. In the meantime, questions abound. More than 200 players are free agents. The available salary cap space around the league for next season alone exceeds $500 million. Add up the value of every deal that’s going to be signed starting on July 6, and it’s conceivable that teams will combine to commit more than $2 billion in new salaries over the next four or five years. “I feel like I’m going to need every dollar,” Philadelphia 76ers general manager Elton Brand said. He’s not alone. It is going to be a spending frenzy. Luxury real estate agents in the few York area might be drooling at the thought of the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks having well over $100 million in cap space to play with this summer. That sort of available cash means both the Nets and Knicks could conceivably lure two maxsalary players to their clubs, and both franchises are certain to pursue the big names like Leonard, Durant, Walker and Irving. “I don’t know what they’re going to be interested in, but when they look at Brooklyn from afar we’ve got to give them some credit because the guys that are free agents, all of them have spent the last year or two surveying the league,” Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks told reporters early Friday. “They know where they want to go and what they want to be a part of.” Walker could command $221 million from Charlotte, though he has said he will take less. Durant could get the same from Golden State, and he hasn’t said he would take less. Leonard is probably the biggest mystery case that needs solving; the now two-time NBA Finals MVP could end up with the Los Angeles Clippers, he could stay with the NBA champion Toronto Raptors, or look to New York. And as is almost always the case with Leonard, there have been no real hints. Some oddsmakers in Las Vegas already say the Lakers — with Davis teaming alongside LeBron James and potentially a third star player — are the favorites to win the 2020 NBA title. Those odds could swing big-time in the next few weeks. “If you’re asking now, with the way the Western Conference looks or the league looks in general, I couldn’t even venture a guess kind of how that stacks up because we’re so far from the off-season really ending,” Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti said. “Every team is going to do what they can to come back better.” It was already going to be a wild summer, and the decisions that are looming got even more interesting — unfortunately so — when Durant and Thompson endured major injuries during Golden State’s loss to the Raptors in the NBA Finals. Durant tore an Achilles, Thompson tore an ACL. Both will miss, at minimum, most of next season. Still, the Warriors clearly want to retain them. “Those are guys that you do everything you can to keep within your organization,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers said, when asked about the looming pursuit of Thompson and Durant. Free agency isn’t the only mechanism that will be in play over the coming weeks. Some teams, if inclined to dramatically change the makeup of their rosters, will have to do so through trades this summer. Miami, a team never shy about getting into the freeagent fight, isn’t likely to be that active this time around because it lacks cap space. “There are possibilities,” Heat President Pat Riley said. “Possibilities” will be a buzzword in the NBA for the next few days, until the circus begins at 6 p.m. Eastern time on June 30. The Celtics are bracing to lose both Irving and Horford; Irving led Boston in points and assists per game, Horford led the team in rebounds per game. Ainge, when meeting with reporters after the draft, wasn’t willing to say much about either situation since nothing is technically done yet — but his message was clear nonetheless. “Listen, I’ve always said that when somebody goes, then somebody else gets a new opportunity and we’ve seen that happen here many times,” Ainge said. “And I’m very excited about what the possibilities are over the next month. … Maybe the players and the names on the jerseys change, but the approach is the same. We have a very attractive franchise to play for.” �SPORTS 4B Sunday, June 23, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel Devils select US center Hughes with 1st pick in NHL draft VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The first round of the NHL draft wasn’t so much unpredictable as the game is becoming more international. That was Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill’s observation following an opening round Friday that featured an international theme and numerous twists. Selected by New Jersey, center Jack Hughes became the eighth American chosen No. 1, and first since Auston Matthews was selected by Toronto in 2016. Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman began putting his stamp on Detroit by selecting German defenseman Moritz Seider. The U.S. matched Canada with 11 picks apiece. And the first round also included four players from Sweden, three from Finland and the host Vancouver Canucks choosing Russian forward Vasily Podkolzin at No. 10. “There’s good players all over the world now. It’s the evolution of our game,” said Nill, who selected U.S. defenseman Thomas Harley with the 18th pick. “It’s good for hockey.” The draft opened mostly as expected with the Devils selecting Hughes, the top-ranked North American prospect. Finland’s Kaapo Kakko was chosen second by the New York Rangers. And the Chicago Blackhawks rounded out the top three selections by choosing Canadian forward Kirby Dach. With Hughes going first, it marked the fourth consecutive draft since a Canadian has been selected No. 1. Doug Armstrong, general manager of the Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues, doesn’t Jonathan Hayward | The Canadian Press via AP Top draft picks New York Rangers’ Kaapo Kakko, New Jersey Devils’ Jack Hughes and Chicago Blackhawks’ Kirby Dach pose during the first round of the NHL draft Friday in Vancouver, British Columbia. see a decline in Canada’s dominance on the sport. “We have a lot of Canadians, and we’re Stanley Cup champions,” Armstrong said. “That’s not disrespecting the Russians or the Swedes or the Americans. I think what the game is is global. It think it’s great for the game to be global.” That’s certainly becoming evident with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, which produced a program-record eight first-round selections. It began with Hughes. From Orlando, Florida, the 5-foot-10, 170-pound playmaking center had 74 goals and 154 assists to set the NTDP’s twoyear record with 228 points in 110 games. “Obviously, Kaapo Kakko had a great year … but I was pretty confident and pretty calm, cool collected through the whole process,” said Hughes, who had a lengthy dinner with Devils GM Ray Shero during the pre-draft combine in 3 NFL teams turn to Indiana business for loads of sod PATOKA, Ind. (AP) — A Colts fan, a Bengals fan and a Titans fan walk into a bar. It’s just a typical NFL Sunday in the Evansville area, save for the Bears contingent (and any loyal Rams fans left). Sure, this is Colts country, but it’s conveniently about the same distance to Nashville and Cincinnati, too. The Colts, Bengals and Titans appreciate their roots in Southwestern Indiana — literally. GrassMasters Sod Farm, located in Gibson County, is in the process of harvesting Bermuda grass to cover football fields for all three franchises before the end of the month. It’s working on the NFL’s schedule because the sod needs to settle before training camp begins in late July. “There’s not another sod farm in the entire United States that provides sod for three different NFL teams,” said Pam Bammer, who owns the farm with her husband, Joe. “It’s a big deal for us.” By mid-June, they harvested and transported 15 semi-truck loads to Paul Brown Stadium, where the sod was installed on the Bengals’ practice fields. (A truckload is about 9,000 square feet of sod. There are roughly 25 rolls, which are 42 inches wide by 100 feet long.) They also sent the Titans 15 truckloads to cover the playing surface at Nissan Stadium. The last week of June is reserved for the Colts, who buy GrassMasters’ sod for their Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center practice fields. “It’s really neat,” Pam Bammer said. “They’re all really nice people. The expectations are much higher, of course, but they’re extremely easy people to get along with. That’s not always the case.” The Bengals were the first to come calling in 2014. The Colts followed in ‘16 and this is the first year the Titans contracted them. GrassMasters has been operating on a family farm with about 350 acres in Patoka, Indiana, since 1997. In total, there are 25 workers during the busy summer months. The Bammers also are seeding a new farm in Colorado and have partnership farms in Lexington, Kentucky, as well as Panama. Southern Indiana, however, exists in what farm manager Aaron Neufelder deems a “transitional belt.” Bermuda grass is ideally grown in the south while fescue is northern, but GrassMasters is able to grow both here. “There’s good players all over the world now. It’s the evolution of our game. It’s good for hockey.” — Jim Nill Dallas Stars general manager Buffalo this month. “I’ve said this like eight times already, but I’m pumped to be a Devil and I’m so excited.” Hughes comes from a hockey family. His father, Jim Hughes coached at the professional level, and also served also served as the Maple Leafs’ director of player development. Jack Hughes credits the time he spent playing minor hockey in Toronto as helping spur his development. A year ago, Hughes attended the NHL draft to watch his older brother, defenseman Quinn Hughes, be selected with the seventh pick by the Vancouver Canucks. Kakko is a 6-foot-2 winger, who helped Finland complete an international gold-medal sweep at the world championships, world juniors and Under-18 tournament. He had 22 goals the Finnish Elite League, the most by a draft-eligible player. The unpredictability began with Detroit selecting Seider sixth, ahead of a number of players who were ranked much higher by NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau. Yzerman’s decision to select Seider surprised many, including the player himself. “I’m still shocked,” said Seider, who was the scouting bureau’s sixth-ranked European. “We had a couple if good meetings with Steve Yzerman, and Yzerman wanted to know every single thing about me. But we saw a couple of rankings and I wasn’t that high on any of them. It’s an unreal moment.” Listed at 6-foot-3 and 208 pounds, Seider had two goals and six points in 29 games playing for Mannheim of Germany’s top league, and scored twice in two games at the world championships. Seider became the eighth German-born player taken in the first round. And only two were selected higher, including Leon Draisaitl, who was selected third by Edmonton in 2014. The first round featured only one trade with the Arizona Coyotes giving up a second-round pick to Philadelphia and moving up three spots to select Swedish defenseman Victor Soderstrom at 11. Hughes’ selection opened a banner firstround for USA Hockey’s development team and American-born players overall. Three NTDP players went in the top 10 with Alex Turcotte selected fifth by Los Angeles and Trevor Zegras going ninth to Anaheim. There was a run of NTDP players with picks 12 through 15. Minnesota selected forward Matthew Boldy, followed by the Panthers taking goalie Spencer Knight. Philadelphia chose defenseman Cameron York at 14, and Montreal drafted Cole Caufield, who at 5-foot-7 scored an NTPD-record 72 goals last season. Knight became only the third goalie selected in the first round over the past seven years. Overall, the 11 Americans taken in the first round were one short of the record set in 2016. Among the Canadian players, center Dylan Cozens became just the third player born in Canada’s Yukon Territory ever drafted — and the first in the first round — when the Buffalo Sabres took him at No. 7. Cozens showed such ability he was playing against adults as a 13-year-old in Yukon’s capital, Whitehorse. “It always felt like a far reach to me, not really achievable,” Cozens said of being drafted. “But I believed it, I believed in myself that I could make this happen one day and now that it’s here it’s a crazy feeling.” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman opened the draft and was greeted by a traditional round of loud boos from the soldout arena. Bettman then left the podium and waited for former Canucks stars Henrik and Daniel Sedin to join him on stage, where they were greeted to loud cheers. The Sedin twins were selected second and third overall in the 1999 draft. Bettman then announced both players’ jerseys — Daniel wore No. 22 and Henrik, 33 — will be retired this season.

The United States is moving through the World Cup field like sharks through the Atlantic. “The message is that we’re on our game, that we’re building momentum, that we’ve gotten some good results, we’ve scored some good goals and we haven’t let any goals in,” defender Becky Sauerbrunn said after Thursday night’s more dominating that it appeared 2-0 win over Sweden completed a record-setting group phase. “So I hope the teams that are preparing for us are getting ready for what’s going to be a really, really tough match.” “I don’t think the first two games sent a message. They weren’t great teams to be honest. With that said, you have to go out and perform,” midfielder Megan Rapinoe said, laughing. “I feel like we have a big target on our back already. So I don’t know how much bigger it can get with the performance.” Eight players produced 17 goals (plus there was an own goal), led by Alex Morgan with five, Carli Lloyd with three, and Horan, Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewis with two apiece. “We love to just share the ball,” left back Crystal Dunn said. “I think at the end of the day the team that is going to go on and win is the team that has so many threats and doesn’t rely on one player. Jill Ellis insisted complacency is not a concern. “This team is firmly rooted on the ground,” she maintained. “These players have played this game long enough to know you have to earn every result.” At least for three games, the Americans routed rivals in the same manner Barcelona beats up La Liga opponents. The U.S. had an 83-9 advantage in shots in the three games and had 75% possession against Thailand, 68% vs. Chile and 58% against the Swedes. Alyssa Naeher — remember her? — had to make just four saves over the three matches, getting only infrequent tests in her first World Cup succeeding Hope Solo as the Americans’ No. 1 goalkeeper. end of the Stade Oceane. Now the route through the field is clear and the heat really will be on for Monday’s round of 16 match against 13thranked Spain at Reims — where the temperature is expected to be in the 90s. The winner meets host France or Brazil in a quarterfinal in Paris, and possible semifinal opponents include England, Australia, Norway or Cameroon. A few numbers to digest: The U.S. set a record with 18 group phase goals, one more than Norway in 1995. The Americans ended the group stage unscored on for the first time in team history. They started 3-0 for the first time since 2003. Despite the relative ease of passage, coach The American Outlaws supporters in red, white and blue filled the trains north from Paris. As gulls flew overhead on a mild and breezy afternoon, they walked the streets and museums of this coastal Normandy town with their “Tour de Four” T-shirts, signifying the fourth title they hope the U.S. brings home on July 7. They were still in their throaty start-of-game chants when Lindsey Horan scored 2 minutes, 40 seconds in, the fastest goal of the tournament. By the time Tobin Heath’s 50th-minute shot deflected off Jonna Andersson for an own goal, the Outlaws’ “We are the U.S.!” chant had been met by a playful “You are the U.S.!” response from the everpolite Swedes at the other And I think people should know that we rotate our players. We have a strong 23, so we’re always fresh and ready to go.” True, but the U.S. has not yet faced a moment of adversity, has not trailed, has not had to overcome a red card or a tournament-ending injury to a starter. “We talk about from there down, everybody can kind of be the same, physically, tactically, all that kind of stuff,” Ellis said, holding a hand horizontally in front of her neck, “But from here up, sometimes that mentality piece is I think really important. So to have the players in a good place with self-belief I think makes my job easier, because certainly they are highly motivated and hungry.” Sonoma’s new turn: NASCAR takes a ride on ‘The Carousel’ SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — This twisty road course in Northern California wine country already provided one of the NASCAR Cup Series’ biggest challenges and best rides of the year. And now the drivers are also going for a ride on “The Carousel” this weekend. That’s the name for a section of Sonoma Raceway that hasn’t been used in a NASCAR race since 1997, but was put back in the layout this year to celebrate this venerable track’s 50th anniversary. With three more turns, longer laps and an overriding uncertainty across the paddock, the first road race of the NASCAR season could be a doozy Sunday — and the drivers can’t wait to take a ride. “I love it,” William Byron said after practice Friday. “It’s probably the most fun I’ve had driving a race car this year.” Nearly every driver is more excited than frightened by the Carousel’s challenge. After all, weeks upon weeks of driving in circles and only turning left can get a little dull, even for the world’s best at it. Sonoma is already no picnic for drivers; in fact, it’s one of the most physical tracks in North America.

IndyCar races in Sonoma have used the Carousel, which means Chip Ganassi Racing and Team Penske could have a little extra data — if it does them any good. “It’s going to change a lot of things,” Hamlin said. “The biggest thing is the strategy. We have all these notes from so many years here, and all this information based off of strategies that have played out in years past. Now we have a different stage length. The track is a different length. You’re not going to be able to dive onto pit road at the last second. The lap times are slower.

Even before early practice Friday, drivers lined up to take pace car rides on the new layout, hoping for insight even in a passenger seat.
