Rose’s letter reads: “Dear Mr. President, I want to thank you very, very much for all your hard work that you have done. My brother and I have been in Taekwondo since we were 4. I’m a black belt in Taekwondo and my brother is testing for his black belt. My name is Rose Holdren and I’m 9. My brother’s name is Jake Holdren and he’s 6. My sister’s name is Josy Holdren and she’s 3. I would like to met you in person to tell you how much I appreciate you. I and my family think you are the best President ever. I tell everyone about you and your sacriﬁces you and your family make. My daddy is a prosecutor of Gallia County, Ohio, and I was on the campaign trail with him all last year. I really enjoyed it.

My security team consists of the ﬁnest members of the Presidential Protective Division of the United States Secret Service.

Peterson explained Dr. Paul Mayhew, the director of choral studies at OU, started the Unity Concert several years ago. Mayhew is the director of the OU Choral Union, SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A standing-room-only crowd packed into a church Thursday to celebrate the life of a 22-yearold black man who was shot to death by Sacramento police, prompting angry protests and a resolve to force changes in police departments around the country. The musical and scriptural celebration of Stephon Clark was interrupted by his emotional brother Stevante, who hugged and kissed the casket, led the crowd in chants of his brother’s name and interrupted speakers. The Rev. Al Sharpton hugged and consoled him and told the crowd not to judge how families grieve. “We will never let you forget the name of Stephon Clark until we get justice,” Sharpton thundered. “This is about justice. This is about standing with people with courage.” City ofﬁcials braced for more protests as mourners gathered at Bayside of South Sacramento church. Some mourners at Wednesday’s wake predicted increased unrest beyond the unruly but mostly nonviolent protests that have disrupted trafﬁc and two professional basketball games since the March 18 shooting. Sharpton delivered his eulogy with Stevante Clark clutching him around the neck. The New York preacher said it was time to “stop this madness” of fatal shootings by police ofﬁcers. Two Sacramento police ofﬁcers who were responding to a report of someone breaking car windows fatally shot Clark. Video of the nighttime incident released by police shows a man later identiﬁed as Clark running into the backyard where police ﬁred 20 rounds at him after screaming “gun, gun, gun.” It turned out Clark was holding a cellphone. Some mourners attending Wednesday’s wake called for police to face criminal charges or donned black shirts calling for justice. The family’s raw grief was on display when Stevante Clark had to be physically restrained while confronting members of the media gathered outside the wake. The outburst came a day after he disrupted a Sacramento City Council meeting and screamed his brother’s name at Mayor include a game room that provides a gathering place for veterans and their families to watch television or play video games. As a memorial to all veterans and their families, the room also includes a “Wall of Honor” and a “Memorial Wall.” Photographs of past and present military personnel will be featured on the “walls.” The library is ﬁlled with books and there is an art area. A cozy room with groupings of tables and chairs will be a perfect place to play board games while enjoying refreshments and hanging out. A ﬁtness area will provide a place to exercise. A large kitchen and dinning area will allow volunteers to provide meals to veterans and their families. A food pantry is available for veterans in need, as well as others in the community.

Mayhew likes to share his mid-semester choir concert with other local communities, high schools, and university choirs. Peterson shared she has been a member of the OU Choral Union since 1979. Peterson said she took her seventh and grade choir to Athens for a ﬁeld trip last year to attend the rehearsals of the Singing Men of Ohio and the Women’s Ensemble. While there, Peterson asked Mayhew to work with her students. “I guess he liked us. I was excited and scared, there is nothing quite like performing for your peers,” said Peterson. Peterson shared her students enjoyed their experience of attending and being a part of a live choral concert. Peterson said, “I have had many conversations Jeff Chiu | AP pool The Rev.

At the funeral, he addressed Steinberg, who was one of the few white people in the audience that included former Sacramento Kings player Matt Barnes. “We’re going to forgive the mayor, amen,” Clark said. “Everybody say they love the mayor.” Clark and Sharpton also led people in a call and response, shouting, “I am,” and the crowd responding, “Stephon Clark.” Shernita Crosby, Stephon Clark’s aunt, has said the family isn’t “mad at all the law enforcement.” the eastern end of Meigs County.

I was worried, because the other three choirs were large adult choirs with mature voices, and I was told my 46-voice junior high choir ﬁlled the sanctuary. The best part was the last song, ‘Rhythm of Life,’ we sang with the 105 voice Choral Union and I got to conduct.

The victim was reportedly beaten, punched, and hit with a ball bat several times by all involved. Watson and Starcher allegedly pulled the victim’s hair out of her scalp as well as hit her with a broom handle. The victim also alleged being sexually assaulted. The victim was then reportedly blindfolded, placed into a car and driven to Putnam Drive next to Forked Run Lake. While in the car, the victim stated that her hair was cut but did not know by whom. Once they arrived to a pull-off spot on Putnam Drive overlooking the lake, the victim stated that she was drug from the car and shoved over a cliff which was several feet down where she sustained the severe injury to her arm. Watson, Grimm and Starcher were taken into custody during the investigation where they have remained. Pretrial hearings are set in the coming weeks, with tentative trial dates scheduled in May.

But experts in police tactics think the bloodshed could have been avoided if the Baton Rouge ofﬁcers had done more to defuse the encounter with Alton Sterling. They say poor police tactics and techniques may have aggravated the volatile confrontation, which lasted less than 90 seconds. Sterling’s death ﬁts a tragic pattern of “utterly preventable” police shootings and reinforces an urgent need for sweeping cultural changes in law enforcement training and procedures, said former Seattle police Chief Norm Stamper, author of the 2016 book “Protect And Serve: How To Fix America’s Police.” The fatal shooting of an unarmed black man in Sacramento, California, last week appears to be the latest example of the persistent problem, he added. “These cops in Baton Rouge, in Sacramento, everywhere, are doing what they’ve been taught to do. Most of these controversial shootings are the result of conditioning and training,” Stamper said. Bond NO RESERVATIONS REQUIRED! Follow us on Facebook �CHURCH 4A Friday, March 30, 2018 The case of the empty tomb Do you like mystery stories? When I was a kid, I loved to read mystery books. My favorite was Nancy Drew books. My friends and I would collect them and then trade with each other to share the books. At slumber parties, we would even read them. God’s Kids This week is Korner a super spePastor Ann cial Sunday Moody - Easter. We are going to hear the most exciting mystery story ever told. I call it “The Case of the Empty Tomb.” The story begins very early in the morning on the ﬁrst day of the week long, long ago. Jesus had just been cruciﬁed and buried in a tomb. (A tomb is like a cave.) Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus’ followers, went to the tomb where Jesus was buried. When she got there, she saw that the huge stone that had been put over the entrance had been rolled away. She ran and found Peter and John and said to them, “They have taken the Lord’s body from the tomb, and I don’t know where they have put Him.” Peter and John raced to the tomb. John got there ﬁrst. He looked in the tomb and saw the linen wrappings lying there. Then Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linens that John had seen lying there. As he investigated further, he saw the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded and lying apart from the other wrappings. After Peter looked around for a few minutes, John joined him inside. When they were sure that the tomb was empty, they left and went home. Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she looked inside the tomb again and saw two angels sitting there. One of them was sitting at the head and the other at the foot where the body of Jesus had been lying. “Why are you crying?” the angels asked. “Because they have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they have put Him,” she answered. Then Mary turned and was about to leave when she saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she didn’t recognize Him. “Woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. Mary, thinking that He was the gardener said, “Sir, if you have taken my master away, tell me where He is so that I can go to Him.” “Mary!” Jesus said. When Jesus spoke her name, Mary knew who He was immediately. She turned to Him and cried out, “Teacher!” “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to my Father. “Go and tell My brothers that you have seen Me and that I am going to return to My Father and your Father, My God and your God.” Mary found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she gave them the message that Jesus had told her to tell them. And that solves “The Case of the Empty Tomb.” The tomb is empty because Jesus is not dead, He is alive! He is risen just as He said! He is still alive and living in heaven with His Father God. He watches over us even today. Let’s say a prayer for this coming Easter Sunday. Heavenly Father, the empty tomb is no mystery to us anymore. He is risen! Jesus is alive and with You. He suffered, died, and was buried, but now is alive, so our sins could be forgiven. Thank You, and we rejoice in His name. Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church. Daily Sentinel The most ridiculous Bible story “Some time later, God tested Abraham’s faith. ‘Abraham!’ God called. ‘Yes,’ he replied. ‘Here I am.’ ‘Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacriﬁce him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you’” (Gen. 22:1-2 NLT). Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? God is asking Abraham to kill his own son! But love is sacriﬁce, not control. Don’t be surprised when God asks you to sacriﬁce what you love. Because God can’t fully bless what you’re unwilling to let go of. The fact that God is asking Abraham to kill his own son is crazy enough. But there’s another reason why God’s request is downright ridiculous. You see, Isaac is the fulﬁllment of God’s promise to Abraham. It makes absolutely no sense for God to kill the very source of His promise. God says, “‘… Sarah, your [Abraham’s] wife, will give birth to a son for you. You will name him Isaac, and I will conﬁrm my covenant with him and his descendants as an everlasting covenant’” (Gen. 17:19 NLT). him from heaven, ‘AbraHow can Isaac have ham! Abraham!’ descendants if Abraham ‘Yes,’ Abraham replied. slaughters his young life? ‘Here I am!’ But, even still, Abraham ‘Don’t lay a hand on obeys God’s ridiculous the boy!’ the angel said. request. ‘Do not hurt him in any “The next morning way, for now I know that Abraham got up early. Teen He saddled his donkey Testimony you truly fear God. You have not withheld from and took two of his serIsaiah me even your son, your vants with him, along Pauley only son’” (V. 9-12 NLT). with his son, Isaac. Then Love is sacriﬁce, not he chopped wood for a ﬁre for a burnt offering and set control. Abraham sacriﬁces Isaac in his heart, surrenderout for the place God had told him about. On the third day of ing control to God. As a result, their journey, Abraham looked God’s promise ﬁnds an even stronger foundation (V. 15-18). up and saw the place in the But today, let’s focus on distance. ‘Stay here with the donkey,’ Abraham told the ser- God’s provision. After sparing vants. ‘The boy and I will travel Isaac’s life, God provides a ram. “Then Abraham looked up a little farther. We will worship and saw a ram caught by its there, and then we will come horns in a thicket. So he took right back’” (V. 3-5 NLT). the ram and sacriﬁced it as a Imagine traveling 50 miles burnt offering in place of his to sacriﬁce your son. A 3-day son. Abraham named the place journey of anxiety and bewilYahweh-Yireh (which means derment. ‘the LORD will provide’). To “When they arrived at the this day, people still use that place where God had told him name as a proverb: ‘On the to go, Abraham built an altar mountain of the LORD it will and arranged the wood on it. Then he tied his son, Isaac, and be provided’” (V. 13-14 NLT). laid him on the altar on top of I started to call the story of the wood. And Abraham picked Abraham and Isaac the most up the knife to kill his son as a ridiculous story of the Bible. sacriﬁce. At that moment the But then, I remembered anothangel of the LORD called to er story. Another story about a Father sacriﬁcing His only Son. Except this time, there’s no ram caught in the thicket. There’s no replacement. Just Jesus. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV). Yahweh-Yireh. The LORD will provide. And He has. “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Rom. 5:8 NLT). And this, my friends, is the most ridiculous story of the Bible. But it’s completely true. God’s love for us is so strong— so far beyond our wildest dreams—that it’s downright ridiculous. Have you allowed it to embrace you? After all, Jesus is your ram caught in the thicket. He’s your provision. Be reminded of God’s unconditional, amazing love for you. Jesus has truly provided a way for you to experience Him! “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Rom. 10:9 NLT). A building is only a meeting place There is a myriad of opinions among Christians as to what it means to be the church and what it should look like for a believer to live in the world today. For some, the church is a social gathering and an opportunity to ﬁnd meaningful connections with others. For too many, it is nothing more than a rally to ﬁnd empowerment to live a happy, successful life. At times the church is seen as a duty and an obligation that one must attend to in order to “qualify” as a good person, yet in no way channels into that person’s life any quality that makes of his or her life anything signiﬁcant for eternity. For some, church is only a tradition or is viewed as a way to perpetuate a culture in which we have become comfortable. God’s Word, however, presents the church otherwise. For instance, it is the bride of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:32, Revelation 21:9) as well as a divine response to the forces of evil (Matthew 16:18). One particularly powerful purpose for the church, however, is found in the way that Jesus did Ephesians 3:21 in which during the years of His the church is declared earthly ministry. Those to be the means for the qualities are poignantly awesome glory of God portrayed in Galatians Himself to be revealed to 5:22-23 and are referred our lost and dying world. to as the “fruit of the The revealing of God’s glory happens when the A Hunger Spirit” and can only church functions as it for More truly be present when should.

Where He is, fruit into one body, serving Him in will grow. If He is alive within a way that is so different from the way the world operates that you, then there will be the fruit of His presence. only God could have done it. The Bible tells us what those The evidence or proof of His fruits are. If He is living in us, presence is found when godly qualities come to the surface of we will bring love, feel joy, practice peace, choose patience, people’s lives. It appears when treat with kindness, pursue it changes them and moves goodness, value faithfulness, them to interface with others handle with gentleness, and ﬁnd strength for self-control. Because of Jesus’ sacriﬁce on the cross, the fact of His resurrection from the dead and the power of His Spirit alive within us, He has made it possible for His divine power and presence to be actualized in you and me. Let us therefore listen and obey the Scriptures that teach us to “walk in His Spirit” (Galatians 5:16, 25), for when we do, the fruits will come and lives are changed and God is gloriﬁed. “… Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the ﬂesh…. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, selfcontrol; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have cruciﬁed the ﬂesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another” (Galatians 5:16, 22-25 ESV). It is more than just a dreamt memory One recent night I dreamt a memory. It is an unpleasant memory, which means it was an unpleasant dream. The dream was a memory of something that happened nearly sixteen years ago. It is only according to the Lord’s leadership that I share it because it lends such a biting spiritual perspective. We buried our third son, Eran, on Monday, August 12th, 2002. The next day, Tuesday, our oldest son, Ron, went with me to Parkersburg to the place where the crashed car had been towed. The car was severely bowed on the passenger side from contact with that pole. Eran apparently was not wearing the seat belt, for he had been thrown to that side. Such had been the report given to me by a friend who had been a volunteer to the scene. After walking around the car, I ﬁnally worked up enough fortitude to look inside, and I saw a certain item on the ﬂoor. It was a one-dollar bill that had several specks of Eran’s blood on it. I could not throw it away. I would not spend it for sure. After all, it had my son’s blood on it. I put the dollar bill in his toiletries bag, and brought it home for keeping. After dreaming the memory, I got the bill out for another for the very purpose look. The blood specks that someday He will are nearly faded away bring us to His home in after all this time. But, Heaven. In God we trust I stared incredulously for His safe keeping. where blood had clearly sprinkled across the Furthermore, the visuwords on the backside al effect of the Lord’s of the bill, “In God We Pastor Ron blood will never fade Trust.” Amazing.

With perspectives pierced my soul that in mind, it is not a dreamt as I reviewed the associated memory with God of somememory. For example, something that has happened. It is times we feel as though we are still happening because God is not worth much—-no more not bound by time of any tense. than a one-dollar bill perhaps.

Think about it, the sacriﬁce of Christ on the for today—-Good Friday— Cross is so meaningful, why -recalls the day the Lord shed do we treat it so lightly? The His blood on the Cross. The Writer of Hebrews begs the divinely prescribed gesture of question, “Of how much sorer the Old Testament sacriﬁcial punishment, suppose you, shall system was that of applying the he be thought worthy, who blood by sprinkling the blood. has trodden under the foot the In the salvation experience, Son of God, and hath counted God applies the blood of His the blood of the covenant, Son to our lives.

God despite unto the Spirit of is not going to exchange us. grace?” Rather, He is going to keep us No stronger words are writ- ten in the New Testament. To the Writer, the lack of faithfulness and commitment, and disloyalty to Christ was the deadliest of sins, because it was akin to trampling under foot the blood of Christ. Those associated with the Church who do not take seriously commitment to Christ do not seriously consider how seriously God values the blood of His Son. Easter should be more to us than just a dreamt memory that is forgotten in the business of the next day, or the next month. There should an abiding commitment to worship. There should be an abiding commitment to His principles. There should be an abiding commitment to His moral expectations. There should be an abiding commitment to sharing His salvation story and love with others. If there is not true commitment by those who claim association with the Church, then we characterize the Gospel of Christ as inadequate. God help us. Personally, I did not want to tell you about the dollar bill. But, to uplift Christ is more expedient. Thank God for the blood of Christ!

Superintendent Jack Cullen said on Wednesday evening he was made aware of a student at PPJ/ SHS reportedly receiving a threat which was alleged to have come from another juvenile who is not a student of Mason County Schools. After contacting law enforcement, talking with administrators and feeling secure about safety measures already in place, as well as the presence of additional ofﬁcers at the school on Thursday, Cullen said he felt secure in not canceling classes.

Associated Press MOSCOW — Russia announced the expulsion of more than 150 diplomats, including 60 Americans, on Thursday and said it was closing a U.S. consulate in retaliation for the wave of Western expulsions of Russian diplomats over the poisoning of an ex-spy and his daughter in Britain, a tit-for-tat response that intensiﬁed the Kremlin’s rupture with the United States and Europe. The Russian move came as a hospital treating Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, said the woman was improving rapidly and was now in stable condition, though her father remained in critical condition. The Skripals were found unconscious and critically ill in the English city of Salisbury on March 4. British authorities blamed Russia for poisoning them with a military-grade nerve agent, accusations Russia has vehemently denied. Two dozen countries, including the U.S., many EU nations and NATO, have ordered more than 150 Russian diplomats out this week in a show of solidarity with Britain — a massive action unseen even at the height of the Cold War. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at news conference Thursday that Moscow will expel the same number of diplomats from each of those countries in retaliation.

Although the game got away from the Hornets in the fourth quarter, there was still the matter of Kemba Walker attempting to pass Dell Curry as the franchise’s career scoring leader. After a sluggish three quarters, Walker scored 11 points in the fourth, including a reverse layup with 20 seconds left to break Curry’s mark of 9,839 points. “I wasn’t supposed to be here,” the 6-foot-1, 184-pound Walker told the crowd moments after the game ended. “… Anything is possible. If I can do it, anybody can.” Walker had to grab a towel to wipe away tears after breaking the record. James approached Walker at midcourt as time expired, gave him a huge hug and whispered congratulations in his ear, telling See CAVALIERS | 2B Loyola, Sister Jean basking in Final Four CHICAGO (AP) — The black-and-white photo on the back wall of his ofﬁce serves as a constant reminder and inspiration for Loyola-Chicago coach Porter Moser. Les Hunter, Jerry Harkness and John Egan are standing with the 1963 NCAA championship trophy, the net draped over it. Coach George Ireland has his right arm extended in front as he shakes hands with someone whose face is not in the picture. Hard to believe the photo was in a closet, yet that’s where Moser found it a few days after he got the job seven years ago. There was another photo of the championship celebration in Chicago. “I’ve had them both in there as a reminder of just where I wanted this thing to go,” he said. “This is what you want. I saw the excitement of the people in the streets. I saw them holding a national championship trophy.” Everything he envisioned is playing out. A captivating Final Four run has made a celebrity of a 98-year-old nun and shined a light on a program that went mostly unnoticed for decades. With Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt by their side, the Ramblers will face Michigan in the national semiﬁnals in San Antonio on Saturday. It’s the ﬁrst trip to the Final Four for Loyola since that 1963 team with four black starters helped break down racial barriers. The Ramblers were never ranked in the AP poll. They needed a few last-second prayers, winning their ﬁrst three tournament games by a total of four points, before easily handling Kansas State in the South regional ﬁnal. That made them the fourth No. 11 seed to get to the Final Four. And now, the Ramblers (32-5) will try to do what LSU (1986), George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) could not - advance past the semiﬁnals. Take out the Wolverines, knock off the Villanova-Kansas winner and Loyola becomes the lowest seed to win it all. Villanova with a No. 8 beat Georgetown for the championship in 1985. But whether Loyola can pull out another historic title victory or not, it has been quite a run. While the other three Tyler LaRiviere | Chicago Sun-Times via AP Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt, the Loyola Ramblers’ chaplain, holds up No. 1 as fans chant inside the Gentile Arena on Sunday in Chicago. A captivating Final Four run has made a celebrity of a 98-year-old nun and shined a light on a program that went mostly unnoticed for decades. teams in the Final Four are no strangers to playing deep in the NCAA, Ramblers fans aren’t used to scrambling for Final Four tickets. Their school hadn’t even made the tournament since Patrick Ewing’s Hoyas knocked them out in the 1985 Sweet 16. “It is kind of strange,” said Jessica Vera, who earned her nursing degree from Loyola last year. “But it is nice.” She and a friend were planning to ﬂy to Austin on Friday and drive to San Antonio the following morning. Though she’s watched the Ramblers on TV, this will actually be the ﬁrst game she attends this season. Loyola ﬁgures to have a large cheering section in the stadium and in front of televisions. After all, the Ramblers and Sister Jean are the darlings of the tournament. The bobbleheads of Sister Jean the school distributed a few years ago were selling for more than $300 on ebay. A new model unveiled Friday in conjunction with Loyola quickly surpassed Clemson’s national football champions as the top seller ever for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, according to co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar. Sales for the latest Sister Jean bobblehead were at 9,760 as of Wednesday afternoon. The $25 collectible - which will be delivered to customers in June - uses a variety of images to show the team chaplain smiling as she holds a basketball with two hands. About 65 percent of the orders were from outside Illinois, and they had come from every state and Washington, D.C., plus Canada and the United Kingdom. Someone in Arizona had placed several orders totaling 80 bobbleheads. “They either have a lot of friends and/or grandchildren or think that the Sister Jean bobbleheads are a safer investment than the stock market (they might be on to something),” Sklar wrote in an email. Longtime Loyola fan Richard Miller of Lincolnwood, Illinois, ordered four. “We got to visit with her different times out in the hall (at games),” he said. “What a wonderful, wonderful lady. It’s just so nice to see her being honored like this. It’s the pinnacle of her life right now.” It’s also a high point for Loyola, decades in the making. The program struggled for years after that Sweet 16 run and went 14 seasons without a winning record at one point. Moser got off to a tough start, with a 32-61 record and a switch from the Horizon League to the Missouri Valley Conference in his ﬁrst three years. Since then? They are 89-49, with a program record for wins this season. �SPORTS 2B Friday, March 30, 2018 Daily Sentinel New helmet rule likely to be part of replay for officiating ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The NFL’s new rule outlawing a player from lowering his head to initially make any sort of hit with his helmet likely will be included in replay reviews for ofﬁcials. That has not been decided yet, but Commissioner Roger Goodell and competition committee chairman Rich McKay made it clear Wednesday that video reviews probably will be part of the process. “If we’re able to have replay conﬁrm one of these fouls and also conﬁrms a player be ejected,” Goodell said as the league meetings concluded, “I think there is more conﬁdence among the coaches it will be called accurately.” After noting the unanimous approval of the new rule among coaches, Goodell said on-ﬁeld ofﬁcials felt the same way. “We think that is appropriate to do and it would be the ﬁrst time we use replay for safety or in respect to any kind of foul,” Goodell added. Late Tuesday, the owners rewrote the rule on using the helmet, making it a 15-yard penalty for any player to lower his head to initiate any hit with the helmet. McKay called it “a signiﬁcant change,” noting that it was a “technique too dangerous for the player doing it and the player being hit.” While the offender could be disqualiﬁed, owners did not call for an automatic ejection on such a play — at least not yet.

Including replay will be discussed and very possibly implemented at the NFL’s May meetings in Atlanta, where another full agenda will include discussions of changes to the league’s national anthem policy; the potential sale of the Carolina Panthers; and awarding the 2019 and 2020 drafts to two of the ﬁve ﬁnalist cities. Before then, Goodell stressed that the workings of the new helmet use rule will be made clear to the players, and there will be further discussions on the standards to go from disqualifying a player to ﬁnes and possibly suspensions. “Our intent is to go to each team with tape and all the analysis work done (by the football operations, technology and medical staffs) and be able to present it to them,” Goodell said, adding it will be “all hands on deck” in the educational process. “We can take the head out, and we do want to make sure certain techniques are not used in our game. I am conﬁdent in the next few months (players) will understand it.” Like the coaches, the owners were emphatically behind the change. “We’ve done so much research and investigation on what creates the real concussive plays in the NFL,” Eagles owner Jeff Lurie said, “and it became obvious that so many of the plays are through the lowering of the helmet and using the helmet as a weapon. I thought this (rule) was very important.” Asked about the Rooney Rule and criticism of the Raiders in how they hired Jon Gruden as coach, Goodell said the league will look at it “and see if we can improve it, absolutely.” Oakland was found to have not violated the rule that requires minority candidates to be interviewed for head coaching and executive positions. Also: —Goodell said any ﬁndings in the investigation of the behavior of Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson will be made public once the probe is concluded. There is no timetable for that. Richardson has been accused of workplace mis- conduct and in December said he was selling the team. The league hopes a buyer can be found in the next few weeks, vetted and then presented for approval at the May meetings. —While there were discussions in Orlando about the NFL’s national anthem policy, Goodell said the focus was more on implementing social justice platforms in tandem with the players. Potential changes to that policy could come in May. —Owners passed two more rules changes. Most noteworthy, the league eliminated the requirement that a team that scores a winning touchdown at the end of regulation kick the extra point or go for a 2-point conversion. Browns send Kessler to Jaguars for draft pick CLEVELAND (AP) — No longer part of the Browns’ plans, Cody Kessler got passed to a new team. Cleveland traded its former starting quarterback to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday, the latest move for the Browns who have spent the offseason upgrading the team’s most troublesome position following a 0-16 season. In exchange for Kessler, the Browns will receive a conditional 2019 seventh-round draft pick from the Jaguars, who were in the market to ﬁnd a backup for starter Blake Bortles. The 24-year-old Kessler had been in a steady slide down Cleveland’s depth chart after starting eight games as a rookie in 2016. But after the team acquired Tyrod Taylor from Buffalo, dealt DeShone Kizer to Green Bay and with the Browns expected to take a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, there was no room for Kessler. Last season, he entered training camp as the Browns’ starter but soon fell behind Kizer and Brock Osweiler and after injuries sidelined Robert Grifﬁn III and Josh McCown, he was thrust into action long before he was probably ready. Kessler showed toughness and some potential by passing for 1,380 yards and six TDs. But he was sacked 21 times and it didn’t help that the Browns lacked playmakers to help him during a 1-15 season. Jacksonville represents a fresh start for the likable Kessler. “We are excited about the opportunity to add Cody as depth to our quarterback position,” said Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell. “Despite being just 24 years Rick Osentoski | AP file old, Cody has already seen The Cleveland Browns have traded quarterback Cody Kessler to the Jacksonville NFL game action and was very Jaguars.

Team President Marc Badain and authority chairman Steve Hill signed the lease and development agreements on Wednesday for the $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat stadium that also will serve as home to the UNLV Rebels. The two shook hands before Hill declared, “Let’s build a stadium.” The move came a day after NFL owners voted 31-1 to approve the stadium plans and ﬁnancing, including a $200 million loan from the league. The domed stadium is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 1, 2020. The Raiders have said that the total cost of the move from Oakland to Las Vegas, including a training facility and headquarters, will top $2 billion. The signing of the lease agreement — more than a year in the works — clears the way for the Clark County Commission to consider issuing construction bonds for the project. A total of $750 million in Clark County hotel room tax revenue will go toward the project. Cavaliers From page 1B him it was an incredible accomplishment. “Listen, if you can be the all-time leading scorer in any franchise, that’s incredible,” James said. “That’s an incredible feat. I deﬁnitely went over and just told him how incredible that was. Even though with the season that they’re having, when accomplishments happen throughout the season, you try not to take them for granted. I think it’s an incredible feat for him.” As part of the deal, the 62-acre stadium site that the Raiders purchased last year for $77.5 million is scheduled to be transferred to the Stadium Authority on Friday. The climate-controlled stadium where the team wants to kick off the 2020 season will feature 80-foot-tall retractable doors that will give fans a view of the casino-resorts on the Strip. Nevada ofﬁcials expect 450,000 people a year to travel to Las Vegas primarily to attend an event at the venue, whether it’s a Raiders or college football game, a concert or motorsports event. Jordan, who was not at the game, issued a statement through the team saying he was happy for Walker. “Becoming a franchise’s all-time leading scorer is a big accomplishment and it’s a testament to his hard work, dedication and passion for the game of basketball,” Jordan said. “He exempliﬁes what it means to be a Hornet.” Jordan did not comment on James tying his streak. James matched Jordan’s 17-yearold mark in the second quarter when he scored his 10th point on a powerful alley-oop dunk off a pass from J.R. Smith. Kansas’ Vick 1 of several Final Four impact players RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Kansas’ Lagerald Vick started the year with a series of strong performances — and then abruptly faded for most of Big 12 play. The 6-foot-5 junior is back to playing reliably productive minutes again, and that’s a big reason why the Jayhawks are back in the Final Four for the ﬁrst time in six years. Beyond each team’s top scorers and best talents, Vick is part of a group that could play critical roles in determining whether Kansas , Villanova , Michigan or Loyola-Chicago ends up hoisting the trophy Monday night in San Antonio. Others include Wildcats guard Phil Booth, Wolverines point guard Zavier Simpson and Ramblers regional hero Ben Richardson. “I just feel like I do all the little things that people don’t always see or can comment or congratulate me on,” Vick said Tuesday. “I just feel like I bring the energy, person that can bring a lot of energy, and just do a lot of different things for the team and help us be successful.” Vick is averaging 12.2 points for Kansas (31-7), the No. 1 seed that emerged from a stacked Midwest Region to return to the site of its previous national championship in 2008. But Vick’s year has been almost three separate seasons: the strong opening 13 games, a slide into the background during league play — and a resurgence. Vick averaged 17.4 points on 56 percent shooting to go with 6.4 rebounds, offering enough hops and athleticism to be the team’s best dunker and a capable rebounder from the perimeter. That included a careerhigh 28 points in a loss to Washington, 25 more in a loss to Arizona State and 21 to open Big 12 play against Texas, leaving Vick — not Associated Press ﬁrst-team All-American Devonte’ Graham — as Kansas’ top scorer as the calendar turned to 2018. But things changed. Vick’s numbers slid even as he continued to start and log 30-plus minutes. He averaged just 8.4 points and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 40 percent over the ﬁnal 18 regular-season games, prompting coach Bill Self to frequently push him for more. �Daily Sentinel Friday, March 30, 2018 3B Whoever ﬁnds the Golden Egg will receive $200!!
