COLUMBUS —
Ohio Rural Development State Director
David L. Hall recently
announced the award
of two U.S. Department of Agriculture
Distance Learning
and Telemedicine
(DLT) program
grants to organizations focusing on
opioid misuse treatment, prevention and
recovery services in
Appalachian Ohio.
“At USDA, we
understand the opioid misuse crisis is
exacting an outsized
toll on our rural communities,” said Hall.
“By using technology
to knock down barriers to education and
recovery, the DLT
program helps close
the gap for Ohioans
unable to travel long
distances to reach
help. These grants
are an important part
of USDA’s ongoing,
comprehensive efforts
to tackle this devastating crisis head-on.”
In Ohio:
· Ohio State University will use its
$274,961 grant to
implement a distance
learning project to
help prevent opioid
misuse disorders
in Adams, Athens,
Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike,
Scioto and Vinton
counties. Interactive
video equipment will
be installed at eight
locations accessible
to more than 31,000
rural residents. In
addition to efforts
to reduce opioidrelated overdoses
and misuse through
prevention education, the project also
will provide recovery
and support training
to care providers and
community members.

IN BRIEF

‘Miracle’ plane will be stored
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The passenger jet
that survived a bird strike and crash landing in the
Hudson River in New York 10 years ago is going
into storage while the museum where it’s currently
displayed seeks a new home.
The Charlotte Observer reports the Carolinas
Aviation Museum holds the ‘Miracle on the Hudson’
plane in a 40,000-square-foot hangar at Charlotte
Douglas International Airport, but the museum is
closing temporarily, starting Sunday.
Jessica Mallicote is the museum’s vice president
of advancement and marketing. She says the hangar
will be occupied by manufacturing tech company
Honeywell, which announced its move to Charlotte
in November. Mallicote said the museum will work
with the city and the airport to ﬁnd a new space.
The airplane will be stored at the airport until the

museum reopens in 2022.

Man eaten by own dogs
DALLAS (AP) — A Texas man who had been
missing for months was eaten, bones and all, by his
pack of dogs, sheriff’s deputies said.
Medical examiners said Tuesday that DNA testing
determined that pieces of bone recovered from the
dogs’ feces were those of 57-year-old Freddie Mack,
according to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce.
Deputy Aaron Pitts said the 18 mixed-breed dogs
apparently devoured all of Mack’s body, his clothing
and his hair, leaving nothing larger than 2- to 5-inch
bone fragments.
“Never have we ever, or anyone we’ve spoken to,
heard of an entire human being consumed,” Pitts
told The Associated Press. “The bones were completely broken up and eaten.”

He was also out to persuade President Donald
Trump to keep him on

presidential candidates
and party leaders called

Acosta insisted his

could under the circumstances a decade ago.
He said state authorities
had planned to go after
Epstein with charges
that would have resulted
in no jail time until his

work-release program,
which let him work out
of the jail six days a
week. Acosta said it was
“entirely appropriate”
to be outraged about
that leniency, but he
blamed that on Florida

the victims have gone

repeatedly refusing to

“I think it’s important

he said.
Acosta’s South Florida
ofﬁce had gotten to
the point of drafting an
indictment that could
have sent Epstein to federal prison for life. But it
was never ﬁled, leading
to Epstein’s guilty plea
to two state prostitution-related charges. In
addition to the workrelease jail sentence,
Epstein was required
to make payments to
victims and register as a
sex offender.

THEIR VIEW

People are
suffering from
survivor’s guilt
My career has taken me to Kentucky, Texas, and
California where I have witnessed ﬂoods, hurricanes, and wild ﬁres, and I have heard, “Why did
I escape these forces of nature, and
why did others not?”
With the recent tornadoes in
southwestern Ohio, we have more
than enough survivor’s guilt to last a
lifetime as daily we see images of the
devastation and read accounts of the
horrendous impact on the lives of so
Dr. Vivian many. Our media has done an excelBlevins
lent job of informing all of us who
Contributing were spared and the lives of those
columnist
who weren’t so lucky. Throughout
our lives we have heard the expression, “Can’t control Mother Nature,”
and we know that even with exemplary preparation, we cannot always avoid those forces.
Some of you know that for several years I have
been interviewing veterans. I have witnessed the
embarrassment of some who have said to me, “You
don’t want to interview me: I did nothing in the
military.”
My response is always, “All stories are important. All who serve have important functions —
whether they are driving a truck, issuing supplies,
taking care of payroll or doing the myriad tasks
that are required to keep the U.S. military functioning. And although service men and women
might not be in a war zone, they are likely to be
deployed to one at any time.”
My comments mean little, however, to those
who have had their local paper delivered to them
when they are stationed in a safe zone and see a
photo of a person they recognize who has been
killed in battle. Their questions refuse to be
answered, “Why him? Why not me?” And then
there are those who have seen those with whom
they have formed one of the tightest human bonds
possible fall in battle.
I recently attended the July breakfast of veterans
at the Miami Valley Veterans Museum in Troy,
Ohio, and said to the group of 50-plus in attendance, “Some of you know that I write for two
major media outlets. If you have a story that needs
to be told, please see me at the conclusion of the
meeting. No resumes. Readers want to know
about your life in the military, funny stories, sad
stories.”
Several men gave me their contact information
and asked me to call them. All the while, Dennis
Becker of Troy sat across the table from me, silent.
Once the room had mostly emptied, Becker
began to talk, indicating initially that he had
a humorous story. Within minutes, however, I
learned that his story of survivor’s guilt was the
story I had been seeking for years.
Becker said, “I was drafted in January of 1966,
and later that year I found myself at the Marine
Corps Air Station El Toro in Orange County,
California. My supply ofﬁcer there, Warren O.
Keneipp, was one of the ﬁnest men I have ever
met: treated us like a friend, more like a father,
checked on us regularly to make sure everything
was going okay. I learned much later that he was
killed in action in Vietnam. I struggle with that
even today.”
At El Toro, one of Becker’s “very easy” jobs was
“wheel watch.” This meant simply that he had to
verify that incoming ﬂights had their wheels down
and that all looked normal. While Becker was on
duty during bad weather, a pair of A-4 Skyhawks
collided in midair and crashed while on glide path.
A pilot and seven residents from an area retirement community were killed.
And then Becker was assigned to Da Nang,
Vietnam, but he never made it there. He was reassigned to Okinawa “where recon units came from
Vietnam to be reorganized and returned. Seeing
them, I could only imagine what they had already
gone through and would be sent back to.”
Discharged in 1968 as an E-4 Corporal, Becker
indicates his military experience “could not have
been much easier or safer. Because of that and
what I had seen and heard from others, I felt guilty
for having had it so easy. I didn’t openly talk about
my service.
“I think the hardest thing for me to accept today
is to sit at the monthly breakfast meetings at the
museum, look around the room, try to imagine
what others went through during their service and
then come home and watch the news. I’m not sure
what’s going on in Washington today is what all of
them made sacriﬁces for. That bothers me.”
In conclusion, Becker told me a little story.
A vendor at the Miami County Fair and other
festivals, owner of Grumpy’s Barbeque, regularly
displayed a Marine Corps ﬂag and other Marine
memorabilia at his food trailer. Becker is a fan of
barbecue, so he always looked Grumpy up and
began to talk with him, gradually opening up
about the guilt he felt about having it so easy in
the military.
Grumpy’s exact words are engraved in Becker’s
consciousness: “If you went wherever they sent

In New Orleans, streets
turned into small, swift

garbage cans and picked
up pieces of ﬂoating
wood. Water was up to

Other vehicles were aban-

and had to wade through
water about 4 feet (1.22
meters) deep to get to

she got stuck behind an

and the water started rising.

Powell’s message to Congress: Rate cut coming
WASHINGTON —
Pointing to a weaker
global economy, rising
trade tensions and chronically low inﬂation, Chairman Jerome Powell signaled Wednesday that the
Federal Reserve is likely
to cut interest rates late
this month for the ﬁrst
time in a decade.
Delivering the central
bank’s semiannual report
to Congress, Powell said
that since Fed ofﬁcials
met last month, “uncertainties around trade
tensions and concerns
about the strength of the
global economy continue
to weigh on the U.S. economic outlook.” In addition, inﬂation has dipped
further below the Fed’s
annual target level.
The chairman’s remarks
led investors to send
stock prices up, bond
yields down and the value
of the U.S. dollar lower
on expectations of lower
interest rates. The S&amp;P
500 index brieﬂy traded
over 3,000 for the ﬁrst
time.
Testifying to the
House Financial Services
Committee, Powell was
asked, as he has been
before, what he would
do if President Donald
Trump tried to ﬁre or
demote him. Powell
offered the same terse
reply he’s given in the
past when asked about
Trump’s attacks on his
leadership and the president’s insistence that he
has authority to remove
the chairman: Powell
said he intends to serve
out his full four-year
term, which ends in early
2022.
The president has
repeatedly accused Powell and the Fed of keeping credit too tight for
too long and of thereby
holding back the economy and the stock market.

NEW ORLEANS — A
storm swamped New
Orleans streets and paralyzed trafﬁc Wednesday
as concerns grew that
even worse weather was
on the way: a possible
hurricane that could
strike the Gulf Coast
and raise the Mississippi
River to the brim of the
city’s protective levees.
The storm was associated with an atmospheric
disturbance in the Gulf
that forecasters said was
on track to strengthen
into a hurricane by the
weekend. The National
Hurricane Center expected the system to become
a tropical depression by
Thursday morning, a
tropical storm by Thursday night and a hurricane
on Friday.
Lines of thunderstorms
ranged far out into
the Gulf and battered

much as 8 inches (18

ﬁre Powell or demote
him from the chairman’s
post, and his attacks
have raised alarms that
he’s undermining the
Fed’s long-recognized
independence from political pressure.
Powell’s description
Wednesday of a more
downbeat economic landscape led most economists to conclude that a
quarter-point rate cut is
a virtual certainty at the
Fed’s meeting in three
weeks, with many forecasting further rate cuts
to come. Some characterized a likely rate cut late
this month as an “insurance policy” against an
economic downturn.
“I think it will be the
start of a series of rate
cuts,” added Sung Won
Sohn, economics professor at Loyola Marymount
University in Los Angeles. “Powell wants to provide fuel for the economy
down the road.”
Expectations of a
pending rate cut drew
additional support
Wednesday when the Fed
released the minutes of
its June 18-19 meeting.
The central bank held
rates unchanged then,
but the minutes showed
that some ofﬁcials felt
looser credit could soon
be needed to address

economic weakness.
Investors have collectively put the odds of
a rate cut this month at
100%. The Fed’s benchmark rate stands in a
range of 2.25% to 2.5%
after it raised rates four
times last year — action
that incited the initial
attacks on the Powell Fed
from Trump.
In the prepared
remarks he delivered
Wednesday before taking questions from the
House members, Powell
made no mention of the
president’s criticism.
He did thank Congress
for the “independence”
it has given the Fed to
operate free of political
intrusion. But later, in
the question-and-answer
period, several Democratic committee members offered support for
Powell’s leadership and
a rejection of Trump’s
criticism.
Rep. Maxine Waters,
who leads the committee, declared that “this
president has made it
clear that he has no
understanding or respect
for the independence of
the Federal Reserve.”
Waters and other
Democrats urged Powell
to stand up to Trump’s
attacks.

David Scott, D-Ga., told
the chairman. “We in
Congress, both Democrats and Republicans,

Powell’s remarks
Wednesday began two
days of his testimony on
Capitol Hill. On Thursday, he will address the
Senate Banking Committee.
At the moment, the
U.S. economic landscape
is a mixed one: The job
market appears resilient,
but economic growth is
slowing. Many forecasters predict that growth
has slowed to an annual
rate of around 2% in the
just completed April-June
quarter.
In his testimony, Powell said the economy has
fared reasonably well
over the ﬁrst half of the
year. But he noted that
“crosscurrents, such
as trade tensions and
concerns about global
growth, have been weighing on economic activity
and the outlook.”
He said that growth
in business investment
“seems to have slowed
notably,” possibly
because of concerns over
slowing global growth
and the trade battle
between the Trump
administration and
China.

Manfred: Baseball not juiced, but lower drag puzzling

Tony Dejak | AP

Faced with a record onslaught of home runs and pitchers convinced baseballs
are juiced, Commissioner Rob Manfred says the sport has been unable to find
any changes in the manufacturing process.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Faced
with a record onslaught of
home runs that has convinced
many pitchers that baseballs
are juiced, Commissioner
Rob Manfred says the sport
has been unable to ﬁnd any
changes in the manufacturing
process.
A May 2018 report to Major
League Baseball by professors specializing in physics,
mechanical engineering,
statistics and mathematics
concluded there was less drag
on the ball, causing more home
runs. MLB still has not ﬁgured
out why, and Manfred denied
accusations by AL All-Star
starter Justin Verlander and
other pitchers that baseballs
deliberately had been altered.
“Baseball has done nothing,
given no direction for an altera-

tion in the baseball,” Manfred
told the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Tuesday.
“The biggest ﬂaw in that logic
is that baseball somehow wants
more home runs. If you sat in
an owner’s meeting and listened to people talk about the
way our game is being played,
that is not the sentiment
among the owners for whom I
work. There is no desire on the
part of ownership to increase
the number of home runs in the
game. To the contrary, they’re
concerned about how many we
have.”
Batters have hit 3,691 homers in 1,345 games, on pace for
6,668 over the full season. That
would be 19% above last year’s
5,558 and 9% over the record
6,105 hit in 2017 that topped
the Steroids Era high mark of

5,693 in 2000.
“Pitchers have raised issues
about particularly the tackiness
and the seams on the baseball,
and we do believe that those
could be issues that are related
to the performance of the ball
and we’re trying to get our
hands around,” Manfred said.
He ﬁrmly rejected claims that
MLB changed the ball to spark
offense.
“Manipulation of the baseball
is a great conspiracy theory,”
Manfred said. “How you
manipulate a human-dominated
handmade manufacturing process in any consistent way, it’s
a smarter human being than I.”
Union head Tony Clark, a former All-Star ﬁrst baseman, said
some of his members have sent

Kawhi Leonard, Paul
George officially
join LA Clippers
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Paul George and Kawhi
Leonard are now ofﬁcially with the Los Angeles
Clippers, moves that bring both of them back to
their native Southern California.
It might not be forever: Both can become free
agents now in only two years.
The Clippers completed their blockbuster trade
with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday,
acquiring George for guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, forward Danilo Gallinari and ﬁve ﬁrst-round
draft picks — along with the chance to swap draft
places in two other years.
“Paul George is one of the greatest two-way
players in our game,” Clippers President Lawrence Frank said. “He is both an elite scorer and a
relentless defender whose versatility elevates any
team. When you have the opportunity to acquire a
contributor of his caliber, you do what it takes to
bring him home.
George can become a free agent again in 2021
if he chooses to exercise that option, and Leonard
will be in the same situation as well. A person
with knowledge of the situation said that the deal
Leonard signed Wednesday is a three-year max
that could be worth nearly $110 million, though
the third season is at Leonard’s option. The person
spoke to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because the Clippers did not release
contract terms.
The Athletic ﬁrst reported the three-year term
and option provision in Leonard’s deal. When
Leonard decided that he was leaving Toronto for
the Clippers last week, he and the team had talked
about a four-year max worth $141 million — but
this move, which would make Leonard a free agent
after his 10th season, gives him the maximum
amounts of ﬂexibility and future earning power.
“This is a historic moment for our organization and our fans,” Frank said. “We are grateful
and honored that Kawhi Leonard has decided to
come home and join the L.A. Clippers. Kawhi is a
peerless two-way player, a relentless worker and a
natural ﬁt for the serious, professional culture our
group has established.”
Leonard will cost the Clippers a lot of money.
George is costing them a lot of money and a lot
of picks.
The Clippers surrendered their ﬁrst-rounder
picks in 2022, 2024 and 2026, plus sent ones for
2021 and 2023 that were obtained through Miami,
to Oklahoma City to complete the George trade.
Oklahoma City also has the right to swap ﬁrstround picks with the Clippers in 2023 and 2025.
“From the time that Paul and his representation
made us aware of what had been transpiring and
their subsequent request, our focus as an organization was identifying the best paths for our future,”
Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. “Resiliency has been a staple of our city and our franchise, and this challenge provided us with another
opportunity to demonstrate that.”
The Thunder also now have a $10.4 million
trade exception.
“Our goal with this transaction was to create
value both in the short and long term and help
reposition and replenish the organization’s future
platform,” Presti said. “We are thrilled to welcome
two extremely talented and efﬁcient players in
Shai and Danilo.”
It’s unclear if Presti is done making big moves
this summer. The Thunder has engaged teams
in conversations about the possibility of trading

American League pitcher Shane Bieber of the Cleveland Indians reacts after striking out National League’s Ronald Acuna Jr. of the
Atlanta Braves to end the top of the fifth inning of the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday in Cleveland. The AL won 4-3 behind a 16-strikeout
performance by the AL staff.

AL fans 16, tops NL 4-3 to win All-Star Game
CLEVELAND (AP) —
For one night, the pitchers took back the power.
Hours after an awesome Home Run Derby
got everyone buzzing
even louder about monster shots and juiced
balls, only a couple ﬂew
out of Progressive Field
in the All-Star Game.
Instead, Justin Verlander blazed 97 mph
heat from the start, Shane
Bieber and Aroldis Chapman each struck out the
side and the American
League slowed a loaded
NL lineup 4-3 Tuesday for
its seventh straight win.
“I know it’s the year of
the home run, but pitching dominated today,”
Colorado slugger Nolan
Arenado said.
Sure did — at least
until play resumes Thursday.
Facing Christian Yelich,
Cody Bellinger and a
bunch of boppers, the AL
staff combined to strike
out 16.
“Baseball is a funny
game,” said Bieber, a
most unlikely MVP after
being added late to the
roster.
With fans hoping to
see a replay of Monday’s
jaw-dropping aerial
show when 312 homers
cleared the walls, this
became the Arm-Star
Game up until the late
innings.
Derby champ Pete
Alonso of the Mets
grounded a two-out,
two-run single past
Gleyber Torres in the
eighth to close the NL’s
gap. After a double
steal put runners at sec-

ond and third against
Cleveland reliever Brad
Hand, White Sox catcher
James McCann made a
tumbling catch on Mike
Moustakas’ twisting foul
pop to end the inning.
Chapman closed to
give the AL its 19th
win in 22 games, with
a tie stuck in there. He
got a little encouragement with two outs —
Yankees teammate CC
Sabathia, honored this
week for his contributions on and off the ﬁeld,
strolled to the mound to
talk to the ﬂamethrower.
Chapman then struck
out Yasmani Grandal for
a save , giving the AL an
overall 45-43-2 lead in
the Midsummer Classic.
No need, either,
for the experimental
rule that was set to go
effect: If the game went
into extras, each team
would’ve started the
10th with an automatic
runner on second base.
Major League Baseball
is on a record-shattering
pace for homers this
season, but no one came
close to clearing the
walls until Charlie Blackmon connected in the
NL sixth to make it 2-1.
Texas’ Joey Gallo countered with a solo drive
in a two-run seventh.
Still, it was a far cry
from last year’s All-Star
Game that featured a
record 10 home runs.
“I kind of expected it,
to be honest,” former
NL MVP Kris Bryant
said. “You only see them
once, so they have the
advantage.”
“There are a lot of

hard throwers and great
pitchers over there.
Unless you’ve seen them
before, it’s a difﬁcult
matchup,” he said.
Cleveland favorite
Michael Brantley had
an early RBI double off
losing pitcher Clayton
Kershaw. Jorge Polanco
drove in a run with an
inﬁeld single for a 2-0
edge in the ﬁfth and
another scored on a
double-play grounder.
“I wanted to swing
the bat early. I had some
nervous jitters I wanted
to get out,” Brantley
said.
Winning pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, Lucas Giolito and Shane Greene
did their parts to protect
the lead with scoreless
innings.
Bieber dazzled in
front of a chanting home
crowd, striking out
Willson Contreras, Ketel
Marte and Ronald Acuna
Jr. in the ﬁfth with a 1-0
lead. Bieber later donated his cap to the Hall of
Fame.
“It was electric out
there, the fans got in
it and it was fun,” AL
manager Alex Cora of
the Red Sox said. “And
I’m glad that he got the
MVP. He plays at this
level. He’s really good.”
The biggest misplay
of the night might have
been on the scoreboard.
NL All-Stars David
Dahl of Colorado and
Willson Contreras of the
Cubs had their names
misspelled — “Davis
Dahl” and “Wilson
Contreras” — on the
outﬁeld videoboard.

Jeff McNeil was spelled
correctly, but the photo
accompanying it was of
Mets teammate Jacob
deGrom.
“That was tough, to
see deGrom’s picture up
there,” McNeil said. “I
didn’t really like that. I
wanted to see my picture up there. I know my
family did, too. What are
you going to do, I guess,
but I don’t think that
should happen.”
Fittingly, the ﬁrst
batter of the game was
the guy who leads the
majors in home runs
— Yelich, the NL MVP
with 31 homers at the
break, hit leadoff for the
ﬁrst time this year.
Yelich lined out and
Verlander quickly fanned
Javier Baez and Freddie
Freeman to ﬁnish his
work.
Those lively balls that
Verlander is complaining about? Didn’t bother
him a bit.
NL starter Hyun-Jin
Ryu, deGrom and Luis
Castillo threw scoreless
innings to keep the NL
close in the early going.
Pittsburgh dynamo
Josh Bell was part of the
youngest starting lineup
in All-Star history, with
the NL crew averaging
under 26 years old.
Overall, there were 36
ﬁrst-timers, a number
boosted by the absence
of Bryce Harper, Manny
Machado, Jose Altuve
and several past perennials. And consider this:
Of the 16 AL pitchers on
the 2017 All-Star roster,
zero made the roster

equity to make it easier for
employees to prove discrimination in court.
“Every New Yorker
deserves equal pay for equal

Sen. Alessandra Biaggi,
who represents portions of
Westchester County and the

in the state Senate.
It’s already illegal in New
York to pay women less than
men for doing the same

with white women making
89 cents for every $1 earned

statistics. For black and Latina women, the gap is wider.
They earn, respectively, 63
cents and 54 cents for every
$1 earned by men.
TIME’S UP, an organization that advocates for
fairness and against sexual

and thanked the soccer players for “their extraordinary

Cuomo also signed legislation barring employers

deals were agreed upon
last week.
“We’re excited to welcome one of the NBA’s

manager Elton Brand
said. “He has built his
reputation around hard
work and a tradition of
winning, which are the
same qualities that have

Kim returns to John Deere
with 17 straight missed cuts
By Doug Ferguson

elson said.

Associated Press

Michael Kim had
missed six out of seven
cuts and changed coaches
when he showed up at
the John Deere Classic
last year. He broke the
tournament record at
27-under 257 and won
by eight shots, matching
Dustin Johnson and Francesco Molinari for the
largest victory margin of
the season.
And then it was as if
the week never happened.
Kim ﬂew straight to
Carnoustie for the British
Open, where he tied for
35th. Since then, he has
made only one 36-hole
cut, at the Safeway Open.
He is credited for making
three other cuts in Malaysia, South Korea and
Kapalua — tournaments
that had no cut.
As he prepares to
defend his title, Kim
has missed the cut in all
17 tournaments he has
played since the Sentry
Tournament of Champions.
During the John Deere
Classic preview in May,
Kim focused more on the
two-year exemption that
gave him time to work on
the changes in his swing
with John Tillery. The
objective is “to have more
weeks like I did at the
Deere more consistently.”
“It’s taken a little longer
than I hoped or wished,
but it’s kind of the ultimate one step back to go
two steps forward,” Kim
said. “I’m content with
ﬁnding where my game
is starting to head and
I’m excited for the second
half. Obviously, I’d like
to play better. Everyone
wants to play better. But
looking at the latter half
of this year and also the
upcoming year, I’m excited to see where my game
will be.”

Open playoff
Royal Portrush required
some reconﬁguration to
be able to stage the British Open for the ﬁrst time
in 68 years, meaning the
17th and 18th holes from
the Dunluce Links are
being replaced by two
new holes from land on
the Valley Links.
With course changes,
there also is a one-time
alternation in a playoff if
it’s necessary.
For the ﬁrst time, the
R&amp;A says, it will go to
a three-hole aggregate
playoff at Royal Portrush
involving the ﬁrst, 13th
and 18th holes. The 13th
is a par 3 with the green
not far from the 18th tee.
The Open had been using
a four-hole aggregate playoff since 1986 at Royal
Troon.
An R&amp;A spokesman
says the decision was
“geography-based” and
any playoff is expected
to return to four holes at
other links.

LPGA in Florida
The LPGA Tour will
have four tournaments in
Florida starting next year.
After announcing a
new event in Boca Raton
at the start of 2020, the
LPGA Tour said the
Pelican Women’s Championship will be held May
14-17 at Pelican Golf

is just northwest of St.

Chris Long, NHL honored
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Retired NFL
player Chris Long and the National
Hockey League have been honored at
the Sports Humanitarian Awards.
The awards presented by ESPN on
Tuesday night in downtown Los Angeles recognize those who use the power
of sports to make a positive impact on
society.
Long was honored with the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award for
his commitment to giving back through
strategic, multifaceted efforts which
attack larger systematic issues.
He donated his entire salary in 2017
to beneﬁt educational equality and
encouraged his fans to join him in the

effort, which raised $1.75 million to support St. Louis, Boston and Philadelphia
— cities he played in during his career.
His Waterboys program has helped more
than 225,000 people in East Africa gain
access to clean drinking water by building more than 61 water wells to date.
The NHL received the League Humanitarian Leadership Award for its efforts
to create the most inclusive experience
for the entire hockey community. The
league helped develop an on-ice Learn to
Play initiative that has introduced more
than 50,000 children to the sport at low
to no-costs since 2015 and a STEMbased, hockey-themed digital learning
platform involving science and math.

in the United States, yet
it’s also one of the most
curable forms of cancer
because it’s slow-growing.
In fact, if it’s found early
enough, there’s a 100
percent chance you’ll be
cured if cancer is found.
All men over the age
of 40 should schedule
regular prostate cancer
screenings.
Breast cancer is
one of the most common cancers for women
in the United States.
To help minimize the
risk of being diagnosed
with this type of cancer,
women over the age of 40
should get regular mammograms. If you have a
family history, it’s recommended to start at age
35. Self-exams are also
important, so know what
your breasts look like normally, and contact your
doctor immediately if
anything changes. Watching for abnormalities may
just save your life.
Colorectal cancer is
the second leading cause
of cancer-related deaths
among both men and
women in the United
States. Beginning at
age 50, both men and
women should get regular
colonoscopies. During a
colonoscopy, abnormal
polyps can be removed to
help reduce your chances
of getting this type of
cancer.

Aging and Disability Resource Network
Staff Report

Older adults and
those with disabilities
do not have to look very
far when searching for
help and assistance with
long-term care options
and resources; the Area
Agency on Aging District
7, Inc. (AAA7) has been
providing this helpful service to those in our district since 1972. In 2011,
the Agency experienced
an enhancement through
a designation the AAA7
received from the Ohio
Department of Aging
(ODA).
Through the Agency’s
designation as a fullyfunctioning Aging and

Disability Resource
Network (ADRN) from
the Ohio Department of
Aging, the AAA7 serves
as a referral point for consumers, providing them
with a comprehensive
directory for a variety
of services offered to
residents in the AAA7’s
10-county district which
includes Ohio counties
Adams, Brown, Gallia,
Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto
and Vinton. Through
this designation, older
adults and those with disabilities will experience
an even greater level of
resources through a number of community partners and collaborations

organized by the AAA7.
Part of a nationwide
concept, the ADRN collaborative effort is made
possible through the
Administration on Aging
(AoA) and the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Together, the two groups
designed an initiative to
streamline access to longterm supports and services for older adults, all
persons with disabilities,
family members, and care
providers.
As a designated ADRN,
the AAA7 is responsible
for ﬁve core functions
including: information,
referral and awareness;
options counseling,

advice and assistance;
streamlined eligibility
determination for public
programs; person-centered transition support;
and quality assurance
and continuous improvement. Through these core
functions, the AAA7 is
committed to their role as
a trusted resource where
community members of
all ages, disabilities and
income levels can turn
for information and assistance with long-term living services and support
options. The Agency’s
role is to make sure the
community has reliable
information in order to
make the best decisions
about their own personal

needs for the present and
future.
Through the AAA7’s
Resource Network,
callers can be offered a
no-cost, in-home consultation from a certiﬁed
Agency nurse or social
worker to discuss longterm care alternatives
and planning. Staff works
with individuals and
their families on options,
resources and information regarding community and home-based
long-term care.
The great beneﬁt of
this set-up is that consumers, their families,
and those who provide
consumers with service
and support will be

assisted with ﬁnding,
applying to, and/or utilizing the services they
need regardless of age,
disability or ability to
pay. Anyone who needs
help or assistance with
long-term care choices
and decisions can simply
call the AAA7. Through
the Aging and Disability Resource Center, an
individual can be linked
to a number of helpful
resources in our communities that are available to
assist them.

Kinship/grandparent caregivers needed for survey
Staff Report

Many children are fortunate
to be cared for by relatives,
such as grandparents, aunts,
uncles, cousins, and even
older siblings. In Ohio, nearly
100,000 grandparents are currently raising their grandchildren because their own parents are unable or unavailable
to care for them.
Many individuals step up to

provide temporary and sometimes permanent care to raise
their kin. Research reveals that
children raised in extended
families have better outcomes,
such as more regular school
attendance, better grades, and
less behavioral problems than
children in foster care.
While the children thrive in
kinship care, there are many
challenges faced by those caring for them. The Area Agency

on Aging District 7 (AAA7),
offers the Caregiver Support
Program for relatives raising
children, such as grandparents. The program can provide assistance and support
in ﬁnding resources, provide
educational resources including a class for caregivers, and
in some circumstances, make
small purchases to assist in the
care.
Currently, the Caregiver

Support Program at AAA7 is
reaching out to kinship/grandparent caregivers through a
survey to learn more about
needs and how the Agency can
help provide better support.
The survey can be accessed on
the Agency’s website located
at www.aaa7.org and will be
active on the website through
September.
If you are a kinship/grandparent caregiver or know

someone who is, please take a
few moments to complete the
survey and let us know how
we can help.
For more information concerning the survey or the Caregiver Support Program, call
the AAA7’s Caregiver Support
Program at 1-800-582-7277,

Campbell inducted into ‘The Hall of Fame’
Staff Report

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Gallia County was well
represented at the Ohio
Statehouse in May, as
the Ohio Department of
Aging inducted 12 outstanding older Ohioans
into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. Included in those inductees was
Marianne B. Campbell of
Gallipolis.
Members of the Ohio
General Assembly, Governor Mike DeWine and
his cabinet, and leaders
from Ohio’s aging network were on hand to
congratulate and thank
the inductees for their
lifelong contributions to
their communities, their
professions, and their
vocations.
“The diverse contributions made by older
Ohioans to enhance and
improve their communities are invaluable,”
said Governor DeWine.
“Through mentorships,
service, and volunteerism
this year’s inductees
have played key roles in
enhancing the lives of
Ohioans and will leave a
lasting impact across the
state.”
“Older Ohioans’ diversity, values, insight, and
experiences throughout
their lives have helped
to shape their communities,” said Ursel J. McElroy, director of the Ohio

“When older adults connect with their neighbors

The Ohio Senior

was established in 1977
to honor Ohioans age
60 and older for achievements and contributions
to others, the roles they
play in their communities, state and nation,
and for what they do to
promote productive and
enjoyable lives. Their
stories are compelling
and represent lifetimes of
dedication, ingenuity, perseverance, kindness and

compassion.
“The induction ceremony was very impressive,”
Campbell said. “It was
both an honor and a humbling experience to be
included and I was proud
to have Gallia County
and Gallipolis recognized. To have several of
my friends there meant a

UK ambassador to US quits after leaked cables enrage Trump
LONDON (AP) —
Britain’s ambassador
to the United States
resigned Wednesday
after being branded a fool
and made a diplomatic
nobody by President Donald Trump following the
leak of the envoy’s unﬂattering opinions about the
U.S. administration.
Storm clouds gathered
over the trans-Atlantic
relationship as veteran
diplomat Kim Darroch
said he could no longer
do his job in Washington
after Trump cut off all
contact with the representative of one of America’s
closest allies.
The break in rela-

tions followed a British
newspaper’s publication
Sunday of leaked documents that revealed the
ambassador’s dim view of
Trump’s administration,
which Darroch described
as dysfunctional, inept
and chaotic.
“The current situation
is making it impossible
for me to carry out my
role as I would like,” Darroch said in his resignation letter. He had been
due to leave his post at
the end of the year.
In the leaked documents, he called the
Trump administration’s
policy toward Iran
“incoherent,” said the

assessment of the political situation in the country that he was posted
(to) — and that’s why I
defended him,” he told
reporters. “And I think
we all should.”
Speaking at a conference on media freedom,
Hunt also criticized
Trump’s verbal attacks on
journalists.
“I wouldn’t use the language President Trump
used, and I wouldn’t

tries where they can’t
take press freedom for

Darroch announced
his decision the morning
after a televised Conservative leadership debate
between Hunt and Johnson. During the debate,
Hunt vowed to keep
Darroch in the post, but
Johnson — his predecessor as foreign secretary
— notably did not support the British envoy.
“I think it’s very important we should have a
close partnership, a close
friendship with the United States,” said Johnson,
whom Trump has praised
in the past.
