This aid is in addition to crop insurance payments on those acres. The change in policy on cover crops that the U.S. Department of Agriculture made on July 1 is one of several allowances the agency has made in recent weeks to assist farmers in the Midwest, where persistent rain has delayed or prevented many growers from planting cash crops. The funds for trade assistance on cover crop acreage will come through the Market Facilitation Program (MFP), aid for farmers that was created to help offset growers’ losses as a result of the recent, international tariffs on U.S. goods. Many Midwestern farmers unable to plant soybeans and corn in time to get decent yields are instead filing insurance claims and planting alternative crops primarily to protect the topsoil or to feed their livestock. Seed for these so-called “cover crops” is disappearing quickly, said Harold Watters, an agronomy field specialist for Ohio State University Extension. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). “There isn’t much,” he said. “People have grabbed up what was out there.” A lot of farmers across the Midwest will be planting cover crops, some for the first time this year, Watters said. A cover crop, such as cereal rye or oats, can hold in place valuable topsoil, reduce weeds in a field, and add crucial organic matter to a field. Besides qualifying for federal trade assistance, farmers who plant cover crops can collect crop insurance on acreage that had been intended for a cash crop. But farmers have to follow USDA stipulations. Given delayed and prevented planting across the Midwest, the USDA recently adjusted some rules to help farmers, particularly those in need of hay for livestock at a time when hay levels are severely low in the Midwest. Regardless of which cover crop a farmer selects for a field, the grower cannot harvest that crop for grain and sell it in the marketplace to collect crop insurance for those acres.

Relatives of passengers on a Lion Air 737 Max that crashed off the coast of Indonesia agreed to try to settle through mediation, but families of passengers killed in an Ethiopian Airlines crash are waiting until more is known about the accidents. �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 7, 2019 3A W.Va. coal billionaire Cline killed in helicopter crash By Anthony Izaguirre rising through the ranks of his father’s company quickly with a reserved demeanor and savvy business moves. He formed his own energy development business, the Cline Group, which grew into one of the country’s top coal producers. When he thought mining in the Appalachian region was drying up, he started buying reserves in the Illinois Basin in what turned out to be a smart investment in high sulfur coal, according to the website of Missouri-based Foresight Energy, a company he formed. Cline sold most of his interest in Foresight for $1.4 billion and then dropped $150 million into a metallurgical coal mine in Nova Scotia, according to a 2017 Forbes article titled, “Chris Cline Could Be The Last Coal Tycoon Standing .” The piece captured his opulence: A mansion in West Virginia with a manmade lake big enough to waterski on and a pasture that included a while stallion stud name Fabio.

In fact, from June of 2017 to June of 2018, we saw 21 percent drop in overdose deaths, the highest percentage decrease in the nation for the most recent time period for which we have information. By any measure, the opioid epidemic is the worst drug crisis we’ve had. The number of addictions, overdoses and overdose deaths caused by opioids are still way too high but it is encouraging that for the first time in eight years we are seeing a decrease in overdose deaths. Over the last three years, Congress has put new policies in place at the federal level to promote better prevention, treatment, and recovery and to help stop some of these deadly Rob drugs from coming into our comPortman munities, legislation like the CompreContributing hensive Addiction and Recovery Act columnist (CARA), the state opioid response grants, and the STOP Act. We’ve provided more than $3 billion in additional funds over the past three years to combat this epidemic through more innovative approaches. Ohio has received nearly $140 million through CARA and CURES since they were signed into law. That money has gone towards evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery-oriented programs across our state. But as we’ve started to reduce opioid overdose deaths and help more people get into treatment and recovery, and get these dangerous opioids off the streets, other drugs have seeped in to our communities and filled the gaps opioids left behind. Chief among these is pure crystal methamphetamine, coming almost entirely from cartels in Mexico, but we’ve also started seeing more instances of cocaine overdoses. Both meth and cocaine fall are what’s known as ‘psychostimulants’ which, unlike opioids, can make users more aggressive and violent, making our communities less safe overall. According to a recent survey, in 2016, 2.4 million Americans said they recently had started using cocaine, methamphetamines, or prescription stimulants, including Ritalin and Adderall. I regularly meet with treatment providers and drug abuse task forces across the state. Over the last several months, from all over the state I hear the same thing. We are making real progress on opioids, including prescription drugs and heroin, and even some progress in deadly fentanyl, but the new scourge is crystal meth. What’s worse, meth and cocaine are also increasingly being laced with fentanyl and causing deadly overdoses. Just in the past two months alone, at least 49 people in my home town of Cincinnati died from consuming cocaine that, unknown to them, had fentanyl mixed in it. In all, it’s estimated that nearly 30,000 individuals were killed by these kinds of psychostimulants last year alone. This resurgence of these psychostimulant drugs that had become less prevalent in our communities just shows that the broader problem is not a particular drug but issue of addiction. We will continue to see this cycle of new addictive drugs replacing old ones for as long as there is a demand. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 19.7 million Americans over the age of 12 battled a substance use disorder in 2017. We have to do more than focus on a particular drug to fix the root causes of this disease. Recently, I introduced the Combating Meth & Cocaine Act to address this problem. It will allow needed flexibility for state opioid response grant funds to allow them to be used for programs focused on treating methamphetamine and cocaine usage. From what I’ve heard across the state of Ohio this is necessary to respond to the current crisis and help treat a larger number of people hurt by addiction. In addition, we know these funds are making a difference, so the bill will also reauthorize the state opioid response grant program for five years, providing $500 million annually, to ensure there is a stable, predictable funding stream to states to maximize its impact. These simple, common-sense changes will allow state and local organizations the flexibility they need to fight what is quickly becoming a two-front war on addiction. Addiction is a difficult enemy to defeat. While I am encouraged that we’ve made progress in reducing opioid overdoses, we need to treat the underlying disease of addiction to help our communities and help hundreds of thousands of Ohioans recover and lead healthy, productive lives. I’ll keep working in Congress make sure the federal government is an effective partner with Ohio to save lives and restore communities. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) serves in the U.S. Senate. THEIR VIEW Connecting educators with legislators When I first came to the Senate, I met with a number of higher education leaders around Ohio. In these conversations we realized how little opportunity the presidents of our colleges and universities in the area had to interact. That’s where the idea for the College President’s Conference came from – like so many of the best ideas, it came out of conversations in Ohio, not in Washington. For 12 years now, we’ve brought together presidents of two-year, fouryear, private, public, and community colleges to discuss shared challenges and goals for students and institutions of higher learning.

Our higher education system is one of our state’s greatest assets. But we know we have more work to do to make it more affordable and accessible to all Ohioans, and to make sure that students are actually completing their degrees and getting the most out of their education. Those are some of the challenges we have to tackle in any HEA legislation, and that we’re discussing at this conference. Sherrod Brown is a U.S. senator, representing Ohio.

You probably have heard the United States (U.S.) described as a “melting pot” because it is made up of people of varying races, incomes, creeds, sexual orientation, gender identification, ages and gender. In 2020, those residing in the U.S. will be asked to participate in the decennial census — the 23rd since its inception in 1790. The goal of the U.S. Census 2020 is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place As public health practitioners, we at the Meigs County Health Department (MCHD) rely on the important work of the U.S. Census Bureau to provide us with accurate, wholly representative data of who is living in the U.S. When the accuracy of this data is at risk, we lose the basic ability to keep track of health and intervene on behalf of better health outcomes. As the U.S. Census Bureau has been forced to grapple with resource limitations, we have to pay more attention to how undercounting affects program funding and congressional representation in our government. (Source: Human Impact Partners) Public health professionals have long played a vital — albeit underappreciated — role in shaping, not simply using, U.S. Census data to provide the factual evidence required for good governance and health equity (or a state where all persons, regardless of race, income, creed, sexual orientation, gender identification, age or gender are able to be as healthy as they can – to reach their full “health potential.”) Since its advent, the U.S. Census has constituted a key political instrument, given the novel mandate of the U.S. Constitution to allocate political representation undercount of chilvia a national dren in 2020? decennial census.

Children uncounted by the census won’t get our help if we don’t know that they are there. And if they’re not counted, they’ll have a harder time accessing the very services that can help kids surmount early disadvantages. Health inequity (or a state where all persons, regardless of race, income, creed, sexual orientation, gender identification, age or gender are able to be as healthy as they can — to reach their full “health potential”) is at the heart of why we need to take seriously the consequences of a possible undercount of children. Representation in the census is a right of everyone living in the U.S.; if we’re to achieve equitable health outcomes for children in this country, that right must be fulfilled for every child in 2020.

US to pursue citizenship question on census By Mark Sherman and Jill Colvin Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said Friday it will press its search for legal grounds to force the inclusion of a citizenship question on the 2020 Census, hours after President Donald Trump said he is “very seriously” considering an executive order to get the question on the form. Trump said his administration is exploring a number of legal options, but the Justice Department did not say exactly what options remain now that the Supreme Court has barred the question at least temporarily. The government has already begun the process of printing the census questionnaire without that question. The administration’s focus on asking broadly about citizenship for the first time since 1950 reflects the enormous political stakes and potential costs in the once-a-decade population count that determines the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives for the next 10 years and the distribution of some $675 billion in federal spending. It also reflects Trump’s interest in reshaping how congressional districts are drawn. “Executive orders do not override decisions of the Supreme Court.” — Thomas Saenz, President and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund “You need it for Congress, for districting,” he said Friday. “How many people are there? Are they citizens? Are they not citizens? You need it for many reasons.” Districts now are based on the total population. Some Republicans want them based on the population of eligible voters, a change that could disadvantage Democrats by excluding immigrants. The Supreme Court has left open the issue of whether districts based only on the population of eligible voters is constitutional. The Census Bureau’s own experts have said a citizenship question would discourage immigrants from participating in the survey and result in a less accurate census that would redistribute money and political power away from Democratic-led cities where immigrants tend to cluster to whiter, rural areas where Republicans do well. Trump, speaking as he departed the White House for a weekend in New Jersey, said he might take executive action. “It’s one of the ways that we’re thinking about doing it, very seriously,” he said. An executive order would not, by itself, override court rulings blocking the inclusion of the citizenship question. But such an action from Trump would perhaps give administration lawyers a new basis to try to convince federal courts that the question could be included. “Executive orders do not override decisions of the Supreme Court,” Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said in a statement Friday. The organization is representing plaintiffs in the census lawsuit in Maryland. Later Friday, Justice Department lawyers formally told U.S. District Judge George Hazel in Maryland the administration is not giving up the legal fight to add the citizenship question to the next census. But they also said it’s unclear how they will proceed, accord- ing to a court filing. “They still say they don’t have clear instructions on what to do,” said Saenz, who took part in a conference call with the judge and lawyers for both sides in one of three lawsuits seeking to keep the question off the census. The other two are in New York and California. Hazel had expressed mounting frustration with the mixed signals the administration was sending, first telling him on Tuesday that the question was off only to have Trump tweet the next day that the administration was “absolutely moving forward” with efforts to include the question. Trump’s administration has faced numerous roadblocks to adding the question, like last week’s Supreme Court ruling that blocked its inclusion, at least for now. Both the Justice and Commerce departments indicated on Tuesday that they were moving forward with the census, minus the citizenship question. But Trump has insisted otherwise, pushing his administration to come up with a way to include the controversial query. He suggested Friday officials might be able to add an addendum to the questionnaire with the question after it’s already printed.

The hospital’s own review found no structural damage, but there were cracks in walls, broken water pipes and water damage. The hospital was prepared to help women in labor and to give triage care to emergency patients. Fifteen patients were evacuated to other hospitals after the quake, Glenn said. The quake did not appear to have caused major damage to roads and bridges in the area, but it did open three cracks across a short stretch of State Route 178 near the tiny town of Trona, said California Department of Transportation district spokeswoman Christine Knadler. Those cracks were temporarily sealed, but engineers were investigating whether the two-lane highway was damaged beneath the cracks, Knadler said. Bridges in the area were also being checked. The Ridgecrest library was closed as volunteers and staff picked up hundreds of books that fell off shelves.

Traveling school teaches Santas tricks of the trade By Sheridan Hendrix The Columbus Dispatch DUBLIN, Ohio — Behind the door of Meeting Room One at the Hyatt Place in Dublin, Santa shouts out commands to his class like a drill sergeant. “Give me a ho!” he cried. “Ho!” a dozen Santas and Mrs. Clauses, clad in reindeer-themed bowling shirts and Crocs covered in Christmas lights, responded. “Give me a ho!

To even see a few enjoying the hotel’s continental breakfast — especially in June — might prompt to you to do double take. But at School4Santa, the world’s largest traveling Santa school, it’s a normal day of class. For the last 17 years, Tim Connaghan, better known as the Hollywood Santa, has traveled the world teaching other Santas like himself the tricks of the trade. He hosts several twoday conferences a year in hotel meeting rooms and on cruise ships to learn everything there is to know about being a Santa. For $299, the school includes 16 hours of instruction, a copy of Connaghan’s 240-page book “Behind the Red Suit,” and a Bachelor of SantaClausology diploma. The school is held during the summer so Santas are ready to go by November. This year’s Columbus conference was held Saturday and Sunday, with an additional advanced session on Monday. “Today’s Santa has to learn a lot more than what we did in the 1970s,” Connaghan, 70, said. When Connaghan began his career as a mall Santa in college, he was handed a short list of do’s and don’t’s. Today, he said, Santas need to be equipped in every area of the industry — from posing for pictures and styling your beard to writing contracts and answering children’s difficult questions.

DELAWARE, Ohio (AP) — A woman’s body was found in a shallow grave in an Ohio park and authorities are investigating the discovery as a possible homicide. The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office in central Ohio says an officer with the state Department of Natural Resources discovered a shallow grave while on foot patrol Thursday at Alum Creek State Park. The office on Friday identified the deceased woman as 28-year-old Brittany McDowell, of Columbus. The sheriff’s office is calling her death a possible homicide because of injuries observed on her body. The coroner’s office will determine the cause of death. Columbus police and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation are assisting. The park remains open to the public. Man calls 911 on himself CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati police chief says a knife-wielding man had called 911 on himself before he was shot by an officer in a park. Chief Elliot Isaac said Friday that 23-year-old Devin Johnson called 911 Thursday morning to report a person in Bramble Park “acting wild and going crazy.” Johnson allegedly approached two responding officers and ignored orders to drop the butcher knife he was carrying. One of the officers then shot him three times. Johnson is listed in critical but stable condition at a Cincin- nati hospital. Isaac said he will be charged with felonious assault and aggravated menacing. Isaac said the investigation is continuing. The officers’ body cams captured the incident but the recordings haven’t yet been made public.

No, it wasn’t a dig at England or a random reference to the Boston Tea Party, or any number of other theories out there. “My celebration was actually more ‘that’s the tea,’ which is telling a story, spreading news,” the U.S. forward said.

Morgan pretended to sip tea after scoring the go-ahead goal in Tuesday night’s semifinal victory over England. Goalkeeper Alysaa Naeher preserved the 2-1 victory by stopping Steph Houghton’s penalty kick late in the game. The victory sent the Americans into their third consecutive World Cup final. They’ll face the Netherlands for the championship on Sunday at Stade de Lyon. Morgan spoke to reporters Friday, clarifying the source of the goal celebration and referencing the “Game of Thrones” actress. Turner’s Instagram is filled with her saying audacious or gossipy things, adding “That’s the tea” and taking a sip. “I feel that there is some sort of double standard for females in sports to feel like we have to be humble in our successes See MORGAN | 2B Bald Eagle makes appearance in time for Independence Day Tuesday morning, two days before Independence Day, I was on my way to work and for the first time this year I decided to ride my old HarleyDavidson Sportster down to the Soil and Water Conservation District Office. I was riding down East Main Street in Pomeroy (anywhere else I would say I was riding west along East Main Street, but here along the river we use “up” and “down” for cardinal directions) and flying over the river and parallel to me was a young Bald Eagle, its head and tail starting to show the characteristic white that makes the Bald Eagle so distinctive and unmistakable from other bird. While they are undoubtedly majestic, to me Bald Eagles are more powerful than graceful, their large wings In the beating strongly to move their conOpen siderable bulk through the sky. When Jim Freeman viewed soaring, from the front or back the eagle holds its wings level in flight, compared to the turkey vulture’s wings which form a wide, shallow “V.” The eagle is also conspicuously larger. For about a mile, the Bald Eagle and I paced each other down the river until it banked left and headed for the West Virginia side. For me it was definitely a “‘Merica!” sort of moment, the kind where I just wanted to yell and pump my arm in the air – especially given the proximity to this Independence Day holiday. The eagle, for the record, did not share my patriotic zeal. In fact, it seemed totally oblivious to its national emblem status, or even to the fact that the ungainly, nonflying, two-legged animals had a nation to represent. In my younger days I would have never had the opportunity to enjoy this sight. There simply weren’t any Bald Eagles around here – and very few elsewhere. Forty years ago, the Bald Eagle was a species on the brink, suffering due to loss of habitat, and declining numbers of its favorite food, shorebirds and waterfowl. Many eagles were shot due to the perception that they threatened livestock, and the pesticide DDT built up in adult eagles causing them to lay thin-shelled eggs which cracked before their young could hatch. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bald Eagle’s recovery is an American success story. It no longer needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act because its population is protected, healthy, and growing. Some of what we did to bring the Bald Eagle back was: banning the use of DDT, prohibiting the killing of eagles, improved water quality in lakes and rivers, protecting nest sites, and restoring eagles to areas where they had been eliminated. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Wildlife, in 1979, only four See EAGLE | 2B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Wednesday, July 10 Legion Baseball Post 39 vs. Athens at Athens HS (DH), 5 p.m. Friday, July 12 Legion Baseball Post 39 vs. Ceredo-Kenova at Point Pleasant HS (DH), 6 p.m. Saturday, July 13 Post 39 vs. Utica at Meigs HS (DH), 11 a.m. $98C��/4+5�n�� Chief Wahoo and the All-Star Game logo are displayed on shirts at the team shop in Cleveland. Major League Baseball and the Indians agreed in 2018 to remove Chief Wahoo from the team’s jerseys and caps as well as banners and signage in the ballpark starting this season, but when Cleveland hosts the All-Star Game for the sixth time, the red-faced, toothy caricature remains omnipresent across town. Chief Wahoo not All-Star this time in Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) — An hour before the first pitch of a series opener against Kansas City, a steady flow of fans stream into the Indians’ team shop at Progressive Field to buy new All-Star merchandise and other Cleveland gear — some bearing his unmistakable smiling face. Chief Wahoo still plays here. The Indians’ fiercely debated logo and longtime mascot — a shameful racist figure to some, source of civic joy to others — is no longer on the field, but he hasn’t completely gone away. He appears to be as visible as ever. While Major League Baseball and the Indians mutually agreed in 2018 to completely remove him from the team’s jerseys and caps as well as banners and signage in the ballpark starting this season, when Cleveland hosts the All-Star Game for the sixth time, the red-faced, toothy caricature remains omnipresent across town. Look on the concourses and in the seats and Wahoo is on caps, jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, jackets and even baby clothing. For just $10, a red foam Wahoo finger can be yours. In some ways, he seems more popular. “We can only hope,” said Richard Stevens of Rochester, New York, who did a little pregame shopping with sons Jesse and Zac. “I was very sorry to see it go,” Jesse said. Not everyone shares “People feel like we’ve taken away part of their childhood, part of their memories. But if your memories are wrapped around a racist symbol, what kind of memories are those?” — Philip Yenyo, �B/-?>3@/�.3</->9<�90�>2/��7/<3-+8��8.3+8��9@/7/8>�90� �239 that view . There are Native Americans who have fought for decades to eliminate Chief Wahoo and wish the Indians would change a nickname they feel mocks their proud culture. “The team still doesn’t understand,” said Philip Yenyo, executive director of the American Indian Movement of Ohio. “They’re still profiting off of us by being racists.” But unlike in 1997, when Cleveland last hosted Major League Baseball’s best players and Indians catcher Sandy Alomar became a hometown favorite with a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning while wearing a grinning Wahoo on his left shirt sleeve, the contentious symbol won’t be on display to the world Tuesday night. Not between the lines at least. Wahoo may no longer be a symbol on the field, but he’s still got status. “I miss him,” said John Adams, who has given the Indians their baseball heartbeat by pounding a bass drum for the past 45 seasons from high in the outfield bleachers. “It’s an emblem that we take pride in — pride in Cleveland. And the fact that wherever you saw him, you didn’t even have to ask. People would look at Chief Wahoo, and they would go, ‘Cleveland.’ And that’s anywhere in the world.” Adams’ stance is shared by many Clevelanders who felt MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred’s push to eliminate the contentious chief following the 2016 postseason was heavy-handed. Manfred and Indians owner Paul Dolan agreed something needed to be done, when Wahoo’s likeness, which appeared on the All-Star logo when the game was previously held in Cleveland, led to a court battle in Canada and a glaring national spotlight in the World Series. On the eve of Game 3 of the AL Championship Series, an indigenous group asked the Supreme Court of Justice in Toronto to block the Indians from using its nickname or Chief Wahoo on Canadian TV, arguing they were offensive and discriminatory. The court rejected the request and dismissed the case, but the sensitive situation induced the need for action. Then, during Cleveland’s appearance in the World Series against the Chicago Cubs, Manfred went further than any previous MLB official by acknowledging the Wahoo logo was “offensive to some people, and all of us at Major League Baseball understand why.” Manfred’s comment led to substantive discussions with Dolan and a joint announcement in January 2018 that the cartoonish figure was “no longer appropriate for on-field use.” The Indians said their decision to keep selling Wahoo gear was to protect the club from losing ownership of the trademark. The agreement to strip Wahoo from the team’s caps and jerseys — but still allow his likeness to be manufactured and sold on merchandise — was seen by critics as a concession by the Indians, who were perhaps afraid of losing their All-Star bid by being defiant. Both sides claimed the decision had no impact on Cleveland’s choice to host the event, but it would be hard to imagine the Indians keeping it if they had refused Manfred’s request. There are still fans angry the Indians buckled. They feel part of their past has been stolen. “I miss him because he was an icon,” said Kristi Upperman of Lake Milton, Ohio, sporting a blue “Wahoo True ‘Til The Day I’m Through” T-shirt while waiting in a concession line. “I think the world is too sensitive.

A game between Phoenix and Denver, scheduled for later Friday in the Thomas & Mack, never started and was ultimately canceled — and a San Antonio-Orlando game in the adjacent Cox Pavilion, which does not have an overhead scoreboard, was also halted for precautionary reasons. The Magic were leading 75-59 and were declared winners. “Safety comes first, second, third,” Summer LAS VEGAS (AP) — An earthquake that struck Southern California on Friday night forced the NBA to cancel the finish of a two Summer League games, including a marquee sold-out matchup between New Orleans and New York, while engineers checked to see if the integrity of the Thomas & Mack Center on UNLV’s campus was compromised in any way by the tremors. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres played through the earthquake during their game at Dodger Stadium , though a WNBA game in Las Vegas was also stopped. only minor repair. “I was bringing the ball up, it felt like someone was pushing my hip, like I kind of leaned this way, and I was like ‘Oh my gosh, what is going on?’” New Orleans guard Frank Jackson said. “And then I just saw everything shaking.” It was a magnitude 6.9 earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey said, after initial reports said it was a 7.1 quake. It was centered in the Mojave Desert town of Ridgecrest, some 150 miles from Los Angeles — but the effects were felt in Las Vegas and Mexico. Friday’s quake would be the largest temblor League executive director Warren LeGarie said. The Knicks-Pelicans game, the NBA debuts for No. 1 pick Zion Williamson of New Orleans and No. 3 pick RJ Barrett of New York, was called with 7:53 left and New Orleans leading 80-74. The NBA later decided that the game would end there, with the Pelicans prevailing. NBA officials said late Friday they were going forward with the idea that Saturday’s games in Las Vegas would be played as scheduled. There was a crack found on the court in the Cox arena, though it was barely noticeable and needed in the region in 20 years and was centered in the same area as a 6.4 quake that hit a day earlier. “I never remember them coming like this two days in a row,” said New York Knicks coach and California native David Fizdale, who is no stranger to quakes. The WNBA game between the Las Vegas Aces and Washington Mystics was suspended as well, with the Mystics leading 51-36 at halftime. Those teams will decide later how or if to proceed. “Due to the unforeseen earthquake, safety of the players, coaches and fans the WNBA has rec- ommended postponing the completion” of the game,” the Aces said in a statement. New Orleans summer leaguer Christian Wood played college ball at UNLV, and said the quake was an in-game first for him. Play actually continued for a few seconds after the quake, and television cameras captured Pelicans general manager David Griffin looking at the scoreboard and reacting during the few seconds that tremors could be felt in Las Vegas. “Guys didn’t know what was going on,” Wood said. “Some guys were still playing on the court.” Copa America organizers brush off criticism of tournament RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Empty seats, poor pitches, long lines for fans to pick up tickets, problems with video review technology and even a match that started 20 minutes late. The Copa America has been mired in problems since the tournament began on June 14, but its executives said Friday the overall picture is positive in their last briefing before Sunday’s Brazil-vs.-Peru final at the Maracana Stadium. The issues with Copa America’s organization reached a peak on Wednesday after Argentina’s soccer federation sent South American soccer body CONMEBOL a sixpage letter criticizing several aspects of the tournament. Many of the points raised are shared by members of other teams, including Brazil. CONMEBOL has not replied to Argentine soccer executives officially, and neither have Copa America organizers. “We are not saying Morgan ebrated goals by grabbing their crotches. The U.S. national team has drawn some criticism for its goal celebrations in France.

She said it’s hard to understand the outrage when men have cel- that we are making a perfect tournament, but we are creating the base, the parameters for the future,” said Hugo Figueredo, competitions director at CONMEBOL. Asked to describe the imperfections and potential solutions for the next edition of the tournament in 2020, neither Figueredo nor Copa America’s general manager Thiago Jannuzzi replied. “For us this Copa America is really innovating in a comparison with a golf clap after her goal.

Organizers insisted that attendance has been strong despite highly visible empty seats at matches including Wednesday’s semifinal in Porto Alegre in which Peru beat Chile 3-0.

Harrington to 3-year contract ESPN analyst Bruschi COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue recovering after 2nd stroke Jackets have re-signed restricted free agent defenseman Scott Harrington to a three-year contract. A person with knowledge of the signing tells The Associated Press the contract is worth $4.9 million with an annual salary cap hit of $1.63 million. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Friday because the team didn’t announce the terms of the deal. The 26-year-old blue-liner set career highs in games played, assists and points in 2018-19, when he tallied two goals and 15 assists in 73 games with the Blue Jackets. He had four assists in 10 games in the playoffs. Harrington has five goals and 21 assists in 152 career NHL games with the Blue Jackets, Toronto Maple Leafs and Pittsburgh Penguins. Bieber, Hendriks, Muncy named All-Star fill-ins CLEVELAND (AP) — Shane Bieber, Liam Hendriks and Max Muncy have been added to rosters for next week’s All-Star Game. Major League Baseball announced the changes Friday. Bieber and Hendriks will replace Rays right-hander Charlie Morton and Rangers left-hander Mike Minor on the AL roster. Morton and Minor are both scheduled to start Sunday. Bieber, a right-hander with the Indians, is 7-3 with a 3.54 ERA. He’ll join Cleveland teammates Carlos Santana, Francisco Lindor and Brad Hand as hometown representatives for the game at Progressive Field. The Athletics’ Hendriks has a 1.29 ERA over 48 2/3 innings. The Australian righty’s first All-Star appearance will come just more than a year after Oakland designated him for assignment and sent him to Triple-A after he cleared waivers. Muncy, an infielder with the Dodgers, will replace Washington third baseman Anthony Rendon, who chose to skip the game to rest nagging injuries. It is Muncy’s first All-Star nod, although he competed in last year’s Home Run Derby. ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Former New England Patriots linebacker and ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi is recovering in a Massachusetts hospital after suffering a second stroke. His family says in a statement the 46-year-old suffered the stroke Thursday and immediately recognized the warning signs of arm weakness, face drooping and speech difficulties. Bruschi was admitted to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, where his family said Friday he was “recovering well.” Bruschi had a stroke in February 2005 just days after the Patriots won the Super Bowl and learned he had a congenital heart defect that produced a hole in his heart. He had surgery to repair the hole and retired. But he sat out less than a year before returning for the seventh game of the 2005 season. He played three more seasons with the Patriots and announced his retirement just before the start of the 2009 season. Since then, he’s worked at ESPN and entered the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2013. Salt Lake City to host Quidditch World Cup in 2021 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Salt Lake City has been chosen to host the U.S. Quidditch World Cup in 2021. Mayor Jackie Biskupski announced the selection Friday and said the city was chosen for its proximity to an airport and its walkable downtown area. The event is expected to host 84 teams and draw in more than 7,000 people. Previous competitions have been held in Vermont, New York and South Carolina. Quidditch is a full contact sport inspired by the “Harry Potter” book series that combines elements of rugby, dodgeball and tag. Seven players per team mount brooms made of PVC pipes and attempt to score by throwing balls through tall hoops. The sport began in 2005 and has quickly spread to more than 300 school and community teams nationwide. AP source: Wizards trade Runner found dead Howard to Grizzlies for Miles after cheating allegations A person familiar with the situation says the Washington Wizards have traded center Dwight Howard to the Memphis Grizzlies for forward CJ Miles. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the trade hasn’t been announced. Stadium first reported that Washington had traded Howard. ESPN first reported additional details of the trade and said the Grizzlies plan to waive Howard or trade him elsewhere. The 33-year-old Howard played just nine games for the Wizards last season. The eight-time All-Star underwent spinal surgery for a herniated disk last November. Miles, 32, played a combined 53 games with the Toronto Raptors and Grizzlies last season. He averaged 5.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 14.1 rebounds in 40 games for Toronto. Miles played 13 games for Memphis and averaged 9.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.1 LOS ANGELES (AP) — A runner has been found dead days after he was disqualified from the Los Angeles Marathon following allegations of cheating. Authorities say 70-year-old Dr. Frank Meza’s body was found Thursday morning in the Los Angeles River. Sarah Ardalani, a spokeswoman for the coroner’s office, says an autopsy is pending. The Los Angeles Times reported Mesa as the man found dead and a medical license and voter registration records match his home address and date of birth. The Los Angeles Marathon disqualified his finish in this year’s race after they said he left the course and came back from a different position. His time had been the fastest ever for a man his age and triggered suspicion within the running community, which began investigating.

And then the scoreboard started to shake, which nobody wanted. It was a night unlike any other in NBA Summer League history — with a frenzied crowd at the start, disappointment when Williamson’s night was cut short by a knee issue and then confusion when the game was halted by an earthquake. Such was how the newest No. 1 pick began his professional career Friday night, when his New Orleans Pelicans beat the New York Knicks 80-74 in a game that was cut short by 7 minutes, 53 seconds because of an earthquake that struck 150 miles from Los Angeles and was felt in Las Vegas. No one will remember the outcome, not on this night. “Seismic,” is how Summer League execu- tive director Warren LeGarie described it all. Fitting. Williamson left without comment, and left earlier than fans wanted. The Pelicans said he took some contact to his left knee and wouldn’t play in the second half, after he scored 11 points in his first nine summer minutes. It’s unclear if those will be his last summer minutes — the early indication was that the injury was not serious, but it’s also unknown if the Pelicans will be willing to take any risks with him going forward. “He’s a monster, man,” New Orleans’ Frank Jackson said. “He does it all. He’s so big and so physical, it’s hard to stay in front of him. He’s just so powerful. Everything he does is going be explosive. … We haven’t even seen the best of what he can do.” Williamson didn’t keep his adoring new public waiting for his display of Noah Lyles runs 19.50 in 200 meters, 4th best time ever LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Noah Lyles raced to the fourth-fastest 200meter time in history on Friday, finishing in 19.50 seconds at the Athletissima Diamond League meet. Lyles even ran into a slight headwind on a warm evening, going 0.08 seconds faster than Usain Bolt’s Lausanne track record set seven years ago. Only Michael Johnson among American sprinters, winning the 1996 Atlanta Olympics title in 19.32, has run the 200 faster than the 21-year-old Floridian. Bolt’s world record of 19.19 was set at the 2009 world championships in Berlin. His Jamaica teammate Yohan Blake ran 19.26 at Brussels in 2011. In other worldleading performances Friday, Timothy Cheruiyot of Kenya won the men’s 1,500 in 3 minutes, 28.77 seconds, and pole vaulter Piotr Lisek of Poland cleared 6.01 meters. Lyles had been tied for eighth all-time for his 19.65 set at Monaco last year. His season-best had been 19.72, when he was runner-up to another 21-year-old American, Michael Norman. Norman’s time of 10.70 at the Golden Gala meet in Rome one month ago had been the fastest in the world this year. On an ideal night for sprinting, two-time Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann FraserPryce dominated the women’s 100. Her 10.74 performance was just 0.01 outside the world-leading time Elaine Thompson and Fraser-Pryce herself clocked at the Jamaica nationals last month. The 32-year-old Fraser-Pryce, who missed the 2017 season to give birth to her first child, quickly ran clear to finish 0.17 ahead of Dina Asher-Smith, the European champion. Asher-Smith and the 2017 worlds silver and bronze medalists — Marie-Josee Ta Lou and Dafne Schippers — all clocked season- best times trailing far behind Fraser-Pryce, the 2008 and 2012 Olympic champion. World champion Justin Gatlin cruised to victory in the men’s 100 in 9.92, breaking clear before the midway point to leave fellow American Michael Rodgers trailing in 10.01. A fast men’s 1,500 saw the first six finishers beat the previous world-leading time this season. Behind Cheruiyot’s meet-record run, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the 18-year-old European champion from Norway, ran a lifetimebest 3:30.16 in second place. A curious men’s 5,000 left Yomif Kejelcha ahead at the bell signaling one lap left after Hagos Gebrhiwet, the Olympic bronze medalist, slowed and saluted the crowd thinking he had won. Kejelcha timed 13 minutes, 0.56 seconds. Running the secondfastest women’s 400 this season, Nigeriaborn Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain timed 49.17, just 0.02 ahead of Aminatou Seyni, setting a Nigerian record. Shamier Little of the U.S. won the 400 hurdles in 53.73, third best in the world this season. World champion Mariya Lasitskene failed with three attempts at a worldleading — and lifetime best — high jump of 2.07 meters. The Russian’s clearance at 2.02 took the win. Olympic silver medalist Orlando Ortega of Spain won the 110 hurdles in 13.05, edging Daniel Roberts of the U.S. In the 800, Commonwealth Games champion Wyclife Kinyamal of Kenya won in 1:43.78. In women’s field events, Germany got wins from Christin Hussong (66.59) in the javelin throw, and Christina Schwanitz (19.04) in shot put. Olympic champion Caterine Ibarguen of Colombia won the triple jump with her season best of 14.89 meters. dunks and power. With tickets commanding more than $500 on the resale markets throughout the day from those desperate to be part of the crowd — one that included LeBron James and Floyd Mayweather — Williamson had moments where he was putting on a show. Pelicans-Knicks may have been the hottest ticket in Vegas on a night when Reba McEntire and Brooks and Dunn were doing their thing at Caesars Palace, Gwen Stefani was at Planet Hollywood and Wiz Khalifa was playing a late show at a nightclub. And Williamson didn’t disappoint in those nine minutes. “Obviously, the guy we drafted put a buzz in the air for everybody in here,” Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. That he did. It would be inaccurate to say the whole NBA was watching. It only seemed that way. James was in a baseline seat, a few spots to the right of San Antonio’s DeMar DeRozan. Mayweather arrived a few minutes before game time. Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks was there and so was Lonzo Ball — James’ teammate with the Lakers, until the trade that sends him to New Orleans as part of the Anthony Davis swap happens on Saturday. Davis arrived in the middle of the first quarter, sitting for a few minutes with James and agent Rich Paul, watching the Pelicans on what will be his last night as a Pelican. James arrived for the Lakers-Bulls game that preceded the PelicansKnicks matchup, and gave his soon-to-be-former teammate Ball a big hug between games. It made sense that he was there for the Lakers. And it was no surprise that he stayed to see Williamson. “I’ve never met him,” James said. Asked if he’d be willing to offer Williamson counsel, since he might be one of the few people in NBA history to enter the pro ranks amid such fanfare, James said he’d happily offer whatever he could. “My line is open,” said James, the No. 1 pick 16 years earlier. The Pelicans tried a lob to Williamson on the first play after the tap, and he got cheered for getting fouled. Then again, he also got cheered for coming onto the floor for warmups, for dunks in the layup line and when his name got introduced as the fifth and final starter for the Pelicans in the pregame introductions. They even cheered when he would get off the bench to go back into the game. “We’re not going to do anything crazy with him,” Gentry said. “This gives you an opportunity to test out the speed of the game and things like that. That’s really all you learn from this.” There had been two sellouts in NBA Summer League history in Vegas before Friday. And now, there have been three. (Saturday would be a fourth, but NBA officials were huddling late Friday night to figure out if the day can go on as scheduled.) Summer League has gotten bigger and bigger each year, but The Zion Factor is very real — and a league that set an attendance record in Vegas last summer is well on its way already to smashing that mark this year. “People want to be part of something big and special,” LeGarie said. “And Zion loves the game.

He has a picture of Zion in a tub of ice because he’s overheating because he loved to play so much.” And on Friday, at long last, he was in the NBA. For nine minutes, Vegas had a new star. Ice Cube enjoying the good days in 3rd year of Big3 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ice Cube and Dakota Johnson were snapped this week in Los Angeles rehearsing for a new movie. Johnson was dressed in a white top, black leather jacket and distressed jeans. Cube? He kept it sports chic: a Raiders hat, dark shades and a Killer 3s T-shirt straight out of the Big3 catalog. Whether sitting courtside in Philly or filming in Hollywood, Cube remains the famous face of his 3-on-3 half-court basketball league. Cube is serious about growing the Big3, heavy on nostalgia, into more than just another niche sports league. The rapper/actor and his league of former NBA players have made it to a third season, barnstorming this summer from Birmingham to Brooklyn, shooting 4-pointers in pickup-style games where the first to 50 points wins. “It’s Ice Cube. Everything’s going to be big,” said Greg Oden, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2007 NBA draft. Cube is a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers fan, publicly welcoming All-Star Anthony Davis to the team this offseason and expressing his disappointment in Magic Johnson’s departure. But hours before NBA free agency was set to formally begin, Cube was at Temple’s Liacouras Center getting ready for a Big3 tripleheader, his interest in the million-dollar deals landed by potential future stars of his league dimmed by the Sunday games ahead. “Nah, I ain’t worried about the NBA tonight,” Cube said. “I’ve got my own league to worry about right now.” The Big3 has hit snags like any growing sports league, but it showcases its former slam dunk champs in a national TV deal with CBS , expanded this year from eight teams to 12, hits 18 markets in 11 weeks and dropped the minimum age requirement to 27. Cube, though, wants the Big3 in Season3 to get, well, bigger. “We need more interest from mainstream sports media outside of when I’m doing an interview,” Cube said. “Having this level of talent, I didn’t think it would be as hard as it is to just get national “Some guys want to keep their competitive juices going. Some guys feel like they didn’t do what they’re supposed to in the league. Or didn’t have the opportunity to, so they feel like they have something to prove.” — Ice Cube attention on the league. It’s being done top class with some of the biggest names to ever play basketball. We’ve got basketball gods as part of this league. I don’t understand, what’s not to like?” At Temple, fans roamed the concourse sipping $10 Big3 Baller Lemonade (Bacardi rum and lemonade) and waiting to pounce from their seats for a photo op of a Hall of Famer like Big3 coach Julius Erving. Some Big3 players might even sit next to fans in the lower bowl — yes, that was former Knicks guard Nate Robinson in a Philadelphia Phillies Bryce Harper jersey leaping out of his seat high-fiving players and fans. And while the star power may not rival the A-listers at a Lakers or Knicks game, Cube sat next to Kentucky coach John Calipari and just a few seats down from fellow rapper/actor LL Cool J in the front row. Philadelphia basketball icon Sonny Hill turned to league commissioner Clyde Drexler and told him, “Great crowd for no promotion.” That’s part of Cube’s beef. The lower bowl was pretty full at Temple and fans stretched to the second level, some there on a 2-for-1 ticket deal, to catch a glimpse of former 76ers Reggie Evans and Jason Richardson, Oden, Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Carlos Boozer. It’s no Dream Team, but the collection of past-their-primetime players still put on a show of flashy dunks and extra-long range shooting that reminded fans why they were NBA starters and lottery picks. The half-court game wipes out the big man lumbering down the court playing little defense. When Ricky Davis hit a 3-pointer for Ghost Ballers, he simply turned around and took two steps toward Bivouac’s Will Bynum to man up. TV ratings peaked at about 395,000 a game last year on Fox and the first week of action this year on CBS averaged 900,000 viewers. “We’re close to being in profit,” Cube said. “We’ve still got a little work to do. But the interest is there.” Cube envisions a day when current NBA stars play in the Big3 or some retired greats (think Vince Carter) move straight from NBA retirement into a league that allows hand-checking and is home to the 14-second shot clock. Cube, and BIG3 cofounder and owner Jeff Kwatinetz , have pushed that their brand of hooping is more than an oldtimer’s league. “I think there’s a snobbiness to the fact that people think just because these guys are not part of the NBA, they’re not the highest level of basketball that we have,” Cube said. “That’s just not true. The NBA only has so many spots. To be honest, the guys that we’ve got, the basketball IQ is 10 times better than most players that’s in the NBA. They might not be able to chase John Wall 82 games down the court, but as far as knowing how to play the game, being in shape, what’s not to like?” Big3 games have rekindled the idea of an NBA comeback for a handful of players. “Some guys want to keep their competitive juices going,” Cube said. “Some guys feel like they didn’t do what they’re supposed to in the league. Or didn’t have the opportunity to, so they feel like they have something to prove.” Josh Childress went from the Big3 to a training camp contract with Denver. Xavier Silas signed with the Boston Celtics after a stint in the Big3. Jason Terry retired from the NBA in 2018 and signed with the Big3. “With the money they’re giving now, that’s a no-brainer,” Ghost Ballers forward Jamario Moon said. “A lot of us still have something left in the tank.” Oden, just 31 but one of the biggest busts in NBA history, is using the Big3 as a final shot to have fun playing basketball in front of a 2½-yearold daughter who will need YouTube clips to see his glory days at Ohio State. Oden still feels the aches and injuries that curtailed his promising career. He trudged back to a makeshift training room area not much larger than a voting booth, pulled open a black curtain and sought treatment. Oden rubbed a scar on his left knee and complained of soreness to a trainer, walking out with both knees wrapped in bags of ice. “I’m not hurting, hurting,” Oden said with a smile. “I’m not trying to resurrect a career, believe me.” Big3 players can make at least $100,000 per season and coaches said the league provides them an NBA-type lifestyle in travel and accommodations. “You can’t go down from what the NBA was,” former Seattle SuperSonics star and Big3 coach Gary Payton said. “That’s what (Cube) did. He made per diem. He gives you first-class flights. There’s first-class hotels. You can’t go down from that or players don’t want to come.” Payton said he’s long been tight with Cube and heard the pitch for the league years before its inception. Payton says he’s so tight with Cube that he claimed he inspired the classic line, “It’s ironic, I had the brew, she had the chronic/The Lakers beat the Supersonics” in Cube’s seminal hit “It Was A Good Day.” “That was because of me! He wanted to get at me,” Payton said, laughing. “That’s good. He did it, man. That’s why he put Seattle on there, because we used to beat on LA a lot.” Cube wants to give his players more of what they miss from their NBA days, such as Big3 highlights as a regular staple on highlight reels and published game stories that treat the players seriously and not just as a “where are they now?” curiosity. “In a perfect world, nobody’s worried about me in three, four, five years,” Cube said. “They’re just worried about the league and what it’s doing.” �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 7, 2019 5B (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN EVENING PUBLIC AUCTION 7XHVGD\��-XO\��WK�������30 EMPLOYMENT DIRECTIONS: Rt. 50/32 west of Athens past Albany approximately 4 miles, turn on St. Rt. 143, go less than 5 miles, turn right onto Carpenter Hill Road, go 2 miles to turn left onto Mt.

A bid to fast-track expansion for the 2022 tournament in Qatar collapsed in May due to logistical and political barriers. That event will see teams splitting prize money of $440 million and $209 million will be made available to clubs releasing players. But women’s teams earn significantly less for competing at the women’s showpiece. Even doubling the prize money, team preparation funding and cash for clubs releasing players — as Infantino disclosed Friday — will only lift the figure to $100 million. Infantino has, however, pledged to introduce two new women’s competitions: a Club World Cup and league for nations between World Cups. “We can develop national team football only if we develop club football as well all over the world, not only in a few countries,” Infantino said. “So we need a club World Cup which can be played every year to expose clubs from all over the world and to make men’s clubs, but also women’s clubs, invest even more in women’s football.” Infantino said FIFA would double investment in women’s soccer to $1 billion but later clarified that much of the funding would be reserved for soccer federations to request for specific projects that would require approval from the governing body. FIFA’s cash reserves at the end of 2018 stood at $2.74 billion. “We don’t need all that money in Swiss banks,” Infantino said. CHICAGO (AP) — Tyler Boyd was conceived in the U.S. and now he’s playing there, too. His father, Ric, wanted his son to be born in his native New Zealand, so Ric and Sherry Boyd traveled there for their son’s birth in December 1994. “We flew straight back to America when I was old enough to travel,” Tyler Boyd said. After Tyler spent a decade in California growing up, the family moved back to New Zealand and he debuted for New Zealand’s senior national team in 2014. He made six appearances for the All Whites, was granted a switch of affiliation by FIFA in May and has become a regular for the Americans heading into Sunday’s CONCACAF Gold Cup final against Mexico. “It was my dream to play for America,” Boyd said Friday. “I represented New Zealand and that’s my dad’s country, and now I get to represent America and make my mom proud — and my dad is extremely proud, as well. To represent such an amazing country is such an honor. There’s 330 million people in this country, and to be one of those players that gets to play is just humbling.” A 24-year-old winger, Boyd signed with the Wellington Phoenix at 17 in 2012 and moved to Portugal’s Vitoria Guimaraes in February 2015. He started to score during a loan to the smaller Portuguese club Tondela in 2017-18, made a few starts but mostly substitute appearances for Vitoria Guimaraes in the first half of last season, then became a regular during a loan to Turkey’s Ankaragucu during the second half of 2018-19. Three months after he was hired as American coach, Gregg Berhalter called Boyd in March. Boyd had attracted attention from a scout for the Columbus Crew about 2 1/2 years ago when Berhalter coached the Major League Soccer team. Boyd missed Berhalter’s initial outreach because he was in a pool session, then called Berhalter back. “He was excited about it,” Berhalter said. “That’s what you wanted to hear, that type of answer, because we want guys that are in it for the project that we’re on and for what we’re trying to do.” Boyd made his U.S. debut on June 9 in an exhibition against Ven- Horan hopes World Cup successes boost NWSL “Hopefully it grows, hopefully we get more teams, and more people buy into us and realize how important it is for the women’s game — and that our NWSL gets better and better so we can get better for our national team.

The NWSL and A+E Networks terminated their broadcast agreement in February, leaving the league with no TV partner. Last season, a game aired each week on the Lifetime channel. A+E surrendered its stake in the league, but Lifetime remains a jersey sponsor. “I was pretty annoyed that we didn’t have a (television) deal at the beginning of the year. It almost felt like we were going backward,” Horan said. “So I think this should have come a while ago, but I’m very happy that it did.” But it’s not just the NWSL.

The National Women’s Soccer League is in the midst of its seventh season and has been more successful than any other attempt at a pro women’s league in the United States. But the NWSL has seen recent struggles with slow growth, a need for sponsors and a lack of television exposure. Horan, who plays for the NWSL’s Portland Thorns, hopes the league experiences a World Cup bump — both for the rest of this season and beyond. She’d like the league to see the success of the Thorns, who average crowds of around 17,000 a game. “Hopefully it grows, hopefully we get more teams, and more people buy into us and realize how important it is for the women’s game — and that our NWSL gets better and better so we can get better for our national team,” she said. The league got some positive news earlier this week when ESPN announced it will televise 14 matches this season, the network’s first NWSL broadcasts since 2014.

You’ve seen the numbers throughout this World Cup, how many people are watching, how many people we were getting at the stadiums,” she said. “And hopefully, clubs and owners and everyone sees that.” Following high school, Horan headed overseas to play in France for Paris SaintGermain for several years. She moved back to the United States to join the Thorns in 2016. Fellow Thorns Tobin Heath, Emily Sonnett and goalkeeper Adrianna Franch are also on the U.S. squad in France. National team players are allocated across the league’s nine teams and U.S. Soccer pays their salaries. Horan, who has 74 appearances with the national team and 10 goals, came off the bench for the team’s first two knockout matches between Spain and France, before starting in the 2-1 U.S. semifinal victory over England. She served Alex Morgan the go-ahead goal. “I think after the semi I was very emotional, that’s because this has been everything a little girl’s dreamt of, and that goes for everybody on the team,” she said. “I think at that moment we won and the whistle was blown it was so surreal and all the emotions kind of came out. Now it’s just realizing this is real and now we still have a final to go push for. This tournament’s not over.” Horan jokes that because of her time in France she’s the best French speaker on the team, throwing a bit of shade at Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and the others who have also played for club teams in France. She’s clearly having the time of her life. “Absolutely,” she said. “I think this obviously has been the best experience of my life.

The first goal was the 1,000th in U.S. team history. “You could see he was full of confidence coming in,” U.S. forward Jordan Morris said. Defender Tim Ream was impressed with the physical play of the 5-foot11 Boyd. “He throws himself around, not afraid to get into a tackle,” Ream said. “His willingness to get the ball to feet and run at guys and make things happen … He’s just showed a willingness to do whatever it takes to stick in this group.” Boyd attended Santa Ynez Valley Christian Academy and played soccer, baseball and judo as a youth. Becoming a professional soccer player was his goal. “I think at 4 years old I believe I was telling my parents this is what’s going to happen, I’m going to do it,” he said. “And they never doubted me. They filled me with confidence, filled me with belief, and I believed.” He was playing with a youth academy when he was part of a group offered a trial with Wellington “They said out of these 12 we will sign two professional contracts,” he recalled. “It was after a game that we played in preseason and I scored four goals, they signed me directly after that.

And he has fit into the group as if just another American. “He’s been a great addition to our group, just in terms of the personality,” said midfielder Michael Bradley, among the team’s veterans, “I think he has established himself in a good way in a short amount of time.” All interested applicants please call M-F 8am-5pm 740-949-2217; evenings until 8pm 740-416-2241; or email tbird1957@ frontier.com to schedule an appointment. OH-70135686 �SPORTS/WEATHER 8B Sunday, July 7, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel Penguins sign coach Mike Sullivan to 4-year extension PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Sullivan is sticking around to see if he can get the Pittsburgh Penguins back to the Stanley Cup. The coach whose arrival in the winter of 2015 helped propel the Penguins to championships in 2016 and 2017 agreed to a four-contract extension on Friday that runs through the 202324 season. The terms of the new deal will kick in when Sullivan’s current contract expires at the end of the upcoming season. Sullivan was entering the final year of a threeyear contract he signed in December 2016. The extension provides the fiery 51-year-old a sense of relief and also plenty of time to help Pittsburgh retool after getting swept by the New York Islanders in the first round of the 2019 playoffs. Sullivan said he “never really considered” testing free agency next summer. “I just knew I wanted to be the coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins,” said Sullivan, who is 174-9234 with Pittsburgh. The extension is a lucrative vote of confidence from Pittsburgh general manager Jim Rutherford, who expressed concern about the need for a culture change inside the dressing room after the Penguins slogged through much of 2018-19 before the earliest playoff exit of the Sidney Crosby era. Rutherford made it a point to place the onus for making the change on the players and not the man who became the first head coach in 60 years to win Cups during each of his first two years on the job. “Mike has done a great agency earlier this week. “We’re certainly a faster team,” Sullivan said. “I think we’re harder to play against. I think the enthusiasm and the energy that these guys have already shown with the opportunity that’s already in front of us, in particular they’re circumstances in coming to the Pittsburgh Penguins and being part of this team, I believe that energy and enthusiasm is contagious and I think that alone I think is going to benefit all of us when we go back to training camp.” Sullivan has preached job delivering four, 100plus point seasons with our team,” Rutherford said in a statement. “To win back-to-back Stanley Cups in this era speaks volumes of him as a coach.” Sullivan clashed at times with prolific but temperamental forward Phil Kessel, whom the Penguins traded to Arizona last week for Alex Galchenyuk, among others. Pittsburgh also sent defenseman Olli Maatta to Chicago and signed versatile forward Brandon Tanev to a six-year deal on the opening day of free about “playing the right way” from the day he took over for Mike Johnston in December 2015, a pet phrase that helped the Penguins create an identity focused on speed and solid defensive play. Though Crosby remains a perennial Hart Trophy candidate and Pittsburgh is still one of the most potent offensive teams in the league, the Penguins have slid defensively since raising the Cup for the fifth time in franchise history in 2017. Rutherford hinted during Pittsburgh’s seasonending news conference 15-year-old Coco Gauff still unfazed, unbeaten at Wimbledon By Howard Fendrich about what a sensation the Floridian already is.
