RIO GRANDE — U.S. Senator for Ohio Sherrod Brown’s representatives spoke with residents from the Gallia and Meigs Counties Monday at the University of Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Community College to discuss the status of the southeast Ohio agriculture community and rural development. Senior Appalachian Regional Representative Jeanne Wilson along with Legislative Aide Jonathan McCracken represented Brown’s Office. Gallia- Meigs Community Action Executive Director Tom Reed, Gallia Commissioner Harold Montgomery, area farmer and past Gallia commissioner Fred Deel, area farmer Ed Vollborn, the Ohio Farm Bureau’s Ashley Kasler, resident with ties to food banks Carole Roush and Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District’s Steve Jenkins were present for the discussion. Over the roughly hour and a half morning discussion, concerns with internet access to rural communities, the changing nature of southeast Ohio’s agriculture, the future of young farmers, financing agriculture and more were discussed at the roundtable. Brown sits on the Senate’s Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. McCracken referenced recent legislative issues being discussed in Congress geared towards agriculture in the form of a bill but said they maybe they were more appropriately referenced as efforts aimed at farm, food and rural development in general. “It’s a huge bill that’s done about every five years,” said See AG | 5 Red Cross, local firefighters installing smoke detectors Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — Volunteers for area fire departments and the local American Red Cross have installed more than 2,000 free smoke detectors in area homes. A recent event in Pomeroy saw installation of 120 alarms, taking the effort over the 2,000 mark. This means hundreds of homes in Athens, Meigs and Morgan Counties have devices that will alert them if fire strikes their home. The alarms are free and are provided by the American Red Cross. Red Cross volunteers also visit each home, offering fire prevention information and helping residents plan a quick escape if a fire starts. This is part of a national American Red Cross program titled “Sound the Alarm.” Local Red Cross program coordinator John Eckleberry said, “This national program has been a huge success, reporting 416 lives saved nationwide as the alarms worked to alert people of a fire. Our dedicated volunteers are working to save lives in Southeast Ohio and will be in Harrisonville, in Meigs County, on May 12th. If any resident would like to have smoke alarms installed for free, please contact the Red Cross office at 740-593-5273.” Ohio hunters harvest more than 10,400 wild turkeys OHIO VALLEY — Ohio hunters checked 10,415 wild turkeys during the first week of the wild turkey hunting season, April 23-29.

Pictured are Commissioner Mike Bartrum, Randy Smith and Tim Ihle, along with Victim Advocate Alexis Schwab and Prosecutor James K. Stanley. Recognizing Law Day Staff Report POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners recognized May 1 as National Law Day during last week’s regular meeting. A proclamation approved by the commissioners stated in part, Law Day is, in words of President Dwight Eisenhower, who established the first nationwide commemoration, a “day of national dedication to the principles of government under law.” The 2018 Law Day theme enables us to reflect on the separation of powers as fundamen- tal to our constitutional purpose and to consider how our governmental system is working for ourselves and our posterity. Meigs County hereby proclaims Tuesday, May 1, 2012, as Law Day. We urge citizens, schools, businesses and local media to use this occasion to preserve and strengthen the rule of law. National Law Day is May 1. This year’s Law Day theme is “Separation of Powers: Framework for Freedom.” The U.S. Constitution established a system of government with distinct and independent branches — legislative, executive and judicial — and it gave Congress, the Presidency and a Supreme Court separate and distinct powers, so that these three separate branches share power and serve as checks on the powers of the others. “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition,” James Madison explained in Federalist 51, because he believed that the Constitution;’s principles of separation of powers and checks and balances preserve political liberty. By preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful, they provide a frame- work for freedom. Law Day is an annual commemoration first held in 1957 when American Bar Association President Charles Rhynes envisioned a special national day to mark our nation’s commitment to the rule of law. The following year, President Dwight Eisenhower issued the first Law Day Proclamation. Law Day was made official in 1961 when Congress issued a joint resolution designating May 1 as the official date for celebrating Law Day.

Turkeys SMITH Daily Sentinel From page 1 Gallia County, hunters harvested 216 turkeys, down from 271 last year. In 2017, hunters in the south zone checked 10,293 wild turkeys dur­ ing the first week of the season. Hunters are required to have a hunting license and a spring tur­ key hunting permit. The spring season bag limit is two bearded turkeys. Hunters can harvest one bearded turkey per day, and a second spring turkey permit can be purchased at any time throughout the spring turkey season. Turkeys must be checked by 11:30 p.m. the day of harvest. Hunting hours in the south zone are 30 minutes before sun­ rise until noon from April 23-May 6 and 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset from May 7-20. Hunting hours in the northeast zone are 30 minutes before sunrise until noon from April 30-May 13 and 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset from May 14-27. Hunters may use shotguns or archery equipment to hunt wild turkeys. It is unlawful to hunt turkeys using bait, live decoys or elec­ tronic calling devices or to shoot a wild turkey while it is in a tree. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife advises turkey hunters to wear hunter orange clothing when entering, leaving or moving through hunt­ ing areas in order to remain visible to others. Wild turkeys were extirpated in Ohio by 1904 and were reintro­ duced in the 1950s by the ODNR Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s first modern day wild turkey season opened in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters checked 12 birds. The wild turkey harvest topped 1,000 for the first time in 1984. Spring turkey hunting opened state­ wide, except for Lake La Su An Wildlife Area, in 2000, and Ohio hunt­ ers checked more than 20,000 wild turkeys for the first time that year. Note: A list of all wild turkeys checked by hunters in the south zone during the first week of the spring turkey hunting season is shown below. The first number follow­ ing the county’s name shows the harvest numbers for 2018, and the 2017 numbers are in parentheses.

NEWS Tuesday, May 1, 2018 3 OU to join ‘Ghana Meets the World’ ATHENS — Ohio University will join several partners to honor the 25th anniversary of the National Theatre of Ghana with a six-day celebration featuring an international symposium and concerts. The events at the theatre in Accra, Ghana, include a three-day symposium held June 25-27 focused on “Arts, Health and Wellness, followed by three days of performances.” Many of the OU faculty and students will travel Ghana between May 1 and June 23 to prepare, however. The symposium and performances will be organized in collaboration with Ghana’s ministries of health, education, youth and sports, tourism, arts and culture, and gender, children and social protection. Dr. Jeff Russell, director of OU’s Science and Health in Artistic Performance (SHAPe) Clinic at Ohio University and a faculty member in the College of Health Sciences and Professions, will serve as keynote speaker for all three days. From June 28-30, AGORO, a concert of new African music, dance and drama, will feature several new African orchestral music, dance and theatrical works composed by OU professors Dr. Paschal Yao Younge, composer, and Dr. Zelma Badu Younge, choreographer. The celebration will include performances from Ghana’s National Dance Company, National Symphony Orchestra, National Drama Company, and international artists from the United States and Canada, including several OU students and alumni. “This is a unique opportunity for us to visit Ghana during this high profile interdisciplinary series of workshops culminating with a celebration of 25 years of the National Theatre of Ghana on the Saturday evening,” said Dr. Lorna Jean Edmonds, vice provost for global affairs and international studies and director of the Center for International Studies at OHIO. “I am looking forward to meeting Ohio faculty and students in Ghana along with their community and university partners who are working together to spearhead this major international initiative.” Edmonds, who will also be in Ghana to attend the 2018 African Educational Research Network (AERN) Summit, will be joined by Dr. Matthew Shaftel, Dean of the College of Fine Arts, and Bose Maposa, assistant director, graduate studies, Center for International Studies. The husband-and-wife team of Younge, a professor of music education, and Badu-Younge, a professor of dance, both in the College of Fine Arts, has organized previous concerts in Ghana, bringing together the orchestral and dance groups. This year’s event is larger than anything they’ve done previously, however. “We want Ohio University to be there in Ghana. Other universities, they bring their groups, but nobody is doing this kind of collaboration,” said Younge, a native of Ghana. “Part of our global engagement from the University in Ghana will be through the arts.” Russell said he was attracted to the symposium because each day focuses on one of his specialties. He will deliver keynote addresses on arts and wellness, sports and wellness, and health policy and health care. “It’s been so interesting just to think about the opportunity because there’s really a big segment of that country that can be involved in this and we’re hoping rallies around this and participates,” Russell said. He has worked in athletic training, sports medicine and orthopaedics prior to focusing on his current specialty of performing arts medicine. “The general thread through all the days is really a wholeperson understanding of health and wellness. What I’m planning on doing is unfolding a whole-person concept of health and wellness, and also health care.” Younge said about a dozen people representing Ohio University will make the trip, including students, faculty and alumni. Another seven artists from the U.S. and Canada are also making the trip to perform. Badu-Younge has been working to choreograph and teach dance routines, in some cases over many miles. “This is the way for them to learn what it’s like to be a professional, getting confidence to present their own personal work,” she said. The performances will last two hours each with the theme “Ghana Meets the World.” It will include New Orleans Jazz. “It’ll be juxtaposed or combined with something very similar that they do in Ghana, so they can make a connection. We also have the audience get involved, so we give them shakers,” Badu-Younge said. Younge said there will also be a youth choir singing spirituals, with a liturgical dance routine included. Musicians including a vibraphone soloist and steel drummers will perform jazz songs, he said. “The Ohio University College of Fine Arts is so enthusiastic to be involved in this incredible celebration of our impact on the arts and communities around the world,” Shaftel said. “We are committed to the education of all Ohio students through a global perspective on the arts. This incredible partnership that Paschal Younge and Zelma BaduYounge have created with the National Theatre of Ghana lays the groundwork for many transformational experiences to come.” Besides introducing Ghana to performances from around the world, Younge said it’s a great opportunity for students, as well. “Our students can actually play in an international orchestra before they graduate. They can actually dance with the international dance company of Ghana,” he said. Edmonds noted that there is an OU alumni community of more than 300 and growing in Ghana. She and Younge said they plan to have a reception for alumni during the weeklong session. 29 Park Place to serve as heart of engagement ATHENS — The former presidential residence at 29 Park Place will be repurposed into a communal space designed to raise the profile of academic engagement across Ohio University’s campus and in the community. The renovation of the residence, carriage house, and grounds of the property into the Center for Academic Engagement is now in the design phase. The goal is to foster collaboration among students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners, and to enable frequent, rich, and collaborative academic programming. It will be a central location that can be used for programming by the President, University Advancement, all of the academic units, and other campus partners. “The former presidential residence has long been at the heart of Ohio University, academically and geographically, so it makes perfect sense for it to serve as the new Center for Academic Engagement,” Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis said. “Academic engagement is the core of everything we do. The Center will serve as a primary resource for anyone interested in engaging with the University’s academic activities.” Interim Honors Tutorial College Dean Cary Frith said the Center will build on Ohio University’s strengths and maximize experiences for those looking to engage. “We are known on this campus for providing incredibly rich academic advising support for students,” Frith said. “What we don’t have in a central location is a resource for current students, faculty members, community members, alumni, and prospective students to connect academically and collaborate to develop experiential education opportunities.” The residence’s proximity to Alden Library and Baker University Center, along with its history, make it a natural fit to serve as the academic engagement heart of campus. “This is the center of the Athens campus, and there is no better way to honor the history of this area as the heart of campus than to repurpose it for what the heart of our mission is – academic engagement,” Interim Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Sayrs said. “It’s a place where faculty, staff, community, students, and all of our University partners are already coming on a regular basis. If you think of 29 Park Place as a hub for academic engagement, it completes a triangle with Alden Library and Baker University Center, and extends academic opportunities along the entire Park Place corridor.” “This is meant to be the center for all of campus, and there is no better way to honor the history of this area as the heart of campus than to repurpose it as the heart of what our mission is – academic engagement,” Interim Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Sayrs said. “If you think about 29 Park Place as a hub for academic engagement, it completes the triangle of this fundamental engagement corridor that is already in place in much of Park Place. It’s not just engagement for students, faculty, and staff, but it’s a place where all of the community, all of the students, all of the University partners are already coming and really activates engagement along that entire corridor.” Frith said the residence will include a help desk where any student, staff or faculty member, alumni or community representative can go for information about academic engagement. Community members looking to partner with faculty or students, for example, could learn about how to do that, or prospective students could make it a primary stop to learn about opportunities on campus. The help desk staff would include highlyengaged students from a variety of programs, Frith said. “The National Survey of Student Engagement talks about the many dividends of students engaging in what they call highimpact practices,” Frith said. “The best way to draw first-generation students and students from historically-underrepresented groups into those practices is to have a peer mentor. That’s why we want the honors and scholars students to be ambassadors for engaged learning. They’re going to lead their peers into these rich hands-on learning experiences.” The center will include a variety of spaces designed for collaborative engagement, including a modern seminar space designed for engaged learning. It will house the Center for Campus and Community Engagement, which connects faculty members and community members to create hands-on, experiential learning opportunities, Sayrs said. The center will also be available to host a wide variety of events, music recitals, student and faculty meetings, presidenthosted events, and more. “We partnered with University College to propose this idea. Normally we are talking about the incredible ways in which we help our students minimize obstacles and persist to achieve their academic goals. With this center we are helping anyone who wants tap into Ohio’s rich array of academic opportunities, such as undergraduate research or servicelearning opportunities,” Frith said. Parts of the center will serve as a home to the OHIO Honors Program, which will launch as a pilot in the Fall 2018 semester, and signature academic engagement programs like the Cutler Scholars Program and the Ohio Fellows Program. However, anyone looking for a chance to connect, even if they don’t know exactly what they are looking for, is welcome to visit 29 Park Place. �Opinion 4 Tuesday, May 1, 2018 Daily Sentinel ELECTION LETTERS POLICY Letters to the Editor regarding the upcoming Primary Election on Tuesday, May 8 are welcome.

THEIR VIEW Few tragedies unsettle us like the murder of an officer DALLAS — May will mark the 40th anniversary of a tragedy, its memory eroded by time. On May 18, 1978, an Austin, Texas, police officer was murdered, shot 10 times during a Jacquielynn routine traffic stop by a University of Texas honors student-turnedFloyd drug dealer. Contributing It was my first week in the newscolumnist paper business. A callow teenage obituary clerk at the Austin paper, I watched the sleepy newsroom jolted into action. I saw shock on the faces of veteran reporters, some of whom had covered the 1966 tower shootings on the UT campus. The murder of a cop was one of the few things that could still rattle them — the same way it rattles me today, decades later. The way it rattles all of us, entire communities, every time it happens. You may think your taxes are too high; you may not like the way individual police officers conduct business in particular neighborhoods. You may have had some run-ins with law enforcement yourself. But at the worst moments of our lives — a car wreck, a missing child, the paralyzing terror of having a gun stuck in your face — help is a threedigit phone call away, no matter who you are. The violent loss of a police officer gives legitimate meaning to that “thin blue line” business. Dallas patrolman Rogelio Santander, shot last Tuesday by a shoplifting suspect, was not the first U.S. police officer murdered this month. He wasn’t even the only one to die last week: Just a few hours before Santander died, a 62-year-old sheriff’s deputy in rural Maine was shot to death by a suspect who stole his police cruiser. Earlier in April, an unemployed auto mechanic with a long history of chronic rage issues walked into a Chinese restaurant in Trenton, Fla., and ambushed two deputies who were having lunch. He saw their uniforms, and he killed them. Yes, there are lot of police officers in this country, and theirs is a risky job. Too easy to forget that they assume this risk on our behalf — until it costs a life. “Few events are more psychologically destabilizing to a police agency than the death of one of their own in the line of duty,” according to a study published in the International Journal of Emergency Mental Health. That destabilization spreads outward in concentric waves, as with a rock thrown in a pond: Colleagues, families, other law enforcement departments, entire cities. A cop’s death shocks us as few other tragedies in our cynical, forgetful society can. I can think of no more descriptive term than “destabilization” to characterize the disorienting shock that gripped this region following the sniper attack summer before last that killed five of our officers and injured nine others. We get used to most things — sometimes with a rueful what-can-you-do acceptance — especially if they don’t affect us too personally: Auto fatalities, poverty, political dischord, terrible diseases. Bad things happen. But the murder of a police officer — like the murder of a child — still leaves us shaken, destabilized. There’s a reason both of these are capital crimes in the state of Texas. In the case of children, we’re heartbroken by their innocence. When it’s cops, we’re unsettled because we’re temporarily reminded of their willingness to accept risks that most of us would not. Every day, they deal with people and situations most of us would take a long detour to avoid. They do it because we share an essential notion of fairness and justice reinforced by law, and somebody has to make sure the rules are followed. Police officers who screw up get a lot more attention that those who get killed, and that’s neither fair nor just. It’s the way it is. If I live to be 100, I will not forget the name of that Austin police officer who died the week I joined the news business. His name was Ralph Ablanedo. He was 26 years See OFFICER | 5 THEIR VIEW A peaceful day in Korea; Give Trump some credit The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, Chicago Tribune costs.

The goal was regime preservation at all United States will be in range. Trump faced up to the threat in a way his predecessors in office did not: He made it clear to Kim that there is a genuine red line that cannot be crossed: menacing the U.S. with nukes. Remember the verbal taunts and threats from last year. “Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime,” Trump said, mocking Kim at the United Nations. At the U.N. he said that! And now … the promise of peace talks. North and South Korea are embracing each other. Kim is set to meet Trump within a month or two. It would be the first meeting of a North Korean leader and sitting U.S. president. On the table would be a formal end to the Korean War and denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. This is where it gets tricky. The U.S. wants North Korea to end its nuclear program before receiving economic aid in exchange. It’s possible Kim thinks he’s put North Korea in its best- ever negotiating position and is willing to strike a deal. Or it’s possible he’ll try to play the U.S. for whatever concessions he can obtain but isn’t serious about abandoning his arsenal. A third possibility: Trump’s tough talk has gotten in Kim’s head, while new sanctions have bitten hard. Trump thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday, so maybe the Chinese also are working hard to rein in North Korea. Maybe Kim has embraced detente to the extent that he and Trump end up with shares of a Nobel Peace Prize. Wherever this proceeds, give Trump credit for his role in making Friday possible. The long list of future scenarios also includes a return to confrontation. What we know for sure: Only the complete scuttling of the North’s nuclear and ballistic missile capacities, including a regimen of international inspections, will defang this dangerous adversary. As Trump said, time will tell. TODAY IN HISTORY ton, Ohio. In 1931, New York’s 102-story Empire State Building was dedicated.

Each step seemed a challenge. His eyes were heavy. He ached from head to toe. He wanted to lie down. James was moving on to the second round of the NBA playoffs — almost on his hands and knees. “I don’t think he’s appreciated enough for just how much energy he puts into every single game to do what he does,” Cavaliers forward Kyle Korver said of James. “It’s just unbelievable.” Pushed to his physical limits by the Indiana Pacers, and barely helped by Cleveland teammates until they finally showed up when it mattered most Sunday in a 105-101 win, James willed the Cavs into the next round, where they’ll face the topseeded Toronto Raptors Meigs football golf tournament POMEROY, Ohio — The Meigs football team will sponsor a golf tournament on Saturday, June 2, at the Meigs County Golf Course.

If the Indiana series was any indication, James might have to do it again. James scored 45 points — his third game over 40 in the series — and the 33-year-old added nine rebounds and seven assists in 43 exhausting minutes as the Cavs closed out the Pacers, a team they swept in the first round a year ago. James, who improved to 13-0 in the first round, would have played all 48, but he succumbed to leg cramps in the third quarter and had to go to the locker room for treatment and fluids. But while he was out at the start of the fourth quarter, something unexpected happened. The Cavs didn’t collapse, and just maybe showed that they’re going to be a much different team when they face the Raptors. As James caught his breath, Cleveland went on a 10-2 run. Kevin Love, who may have nightmares about Indiana’s big men for some time, hit a 3-pointer, and George Hill, in the rotation after missing three games with back spasms, attacked the rim. By the time James checked back in, the Cavs had pushed their lead to 10 and only had to withstand one more charge to silence the Pacers. For Cavs coach Tyronn Lue, the 3:35 stretch was vital. Not only did the Cavs survive without James, they thrived and potentially gained some confidence. “That was big,” he said. Even bigger was Lue’s decision to change his starting lineup once again. For the fourth time in the series, and 34th time this season, Lue used a different starting five. But unlike all the other combinations, this was one he could trust as he played the steady Korver along with James, Love, J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson, the four players left from the 2016 championship team. Lue, who has had to mix and match for months because of injuries and a roster revamped by trades, returned to a proven group, and the move paid off. Thompson, who had played 24 total minutes in the first six games, made his first start since March 28 and scored 15 points with 10 rebounds in a season-high 35 minutes. His presence made the Cavs better at both ends, and he brought an interior toughness that had been missing against the Pacers. He picked up two early fouls on Indiana’s Myles Turner, who fouled out. “That’s the Tristan that we know,” James said. “Giving us extra possessions, catching the ball on the rolls and finishing. Just his energy, his effort. That’s how he’s made his name in this league, by just being high motor and being able to outwork who’s ever across from him.” Thompson could have an even larger role against the Raptors and their massive front line anchored by 7-foot center Jonas Valanciunas.

TVMA (4:30) Real Time With Bill Maher Vice News Tonight (N) �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Tuesday, May 1, 2018 Daily Sentinel Bengals’ draft puts the emphasis on defense CINCINNATI (AP) — With the Bengals determined to improve an offense that finished last in the league, their new defensive coordinator didn’t expect to be very busy during the draft. He wound up getting six of the first eight players picked. Could he have imagined going 6 of 8? “If I was shooting free throws maybe, but not getting defensive players,” Teryl Austin said. The Bengals decided they were set for now on offense and turned their draft focus to upgrading a defense that slipped last season. After taking Ohio State center Billy Price with the 21st overall pick, they went defense primarily in the next four rounds. The Bengals’ defense finished No. 18 overall last season, including 30th against the run, so they weren’t exactly stocking up in an area of strength. “We’re not sure how different it’s going to be until we get them here and see where they fit,” Austin said. “That’s going to play out over time. Infusing talent always raises the competition level.” Some things to note about the Bengals’ defense-heavy draft: McCarron left for Buffalo, and there was a question whether they would try to replace him by taking one in the middle of the draft — they got McCarron in the fifth round in 2014. Instead, they signed Matt Barkley to a two-year deal last month and decided they were set at the No. 2 spot, waiting until the seventh round to get an extra quarterback.

(AP) — Joey Logano had a clear race track in his windshield and a pack of fellow Ford drivers on his bumper. That combination helped the Team Penske driver snap a nearly yearlong losing streak. Logano won Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway to snap a streak that dated to April 30 of last year. That win at Richmond was later disqualified because his car failed inspection, so the benefits from the victory were stripped and it cost him a spot in the playoffs. Out front at Talladega, which is usually the worst place to be in the closing laps, Logano couldn’t be caught. His Ford teammates were committed to getting a Ford the win, and they waited patiently in line until the closing laps to make their attempt at snatching the victory away from Logano. Only Kurt Busch was bold enough to make an early move, and he wrongly thought defending race winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr. would go with him. Stenhouse didn’t get to Busch in time, Kevin Harvick wasn’t prepared for Busch to go so early, and Busch couldn’t garner enough steam to catch Logano. Logano sailed to an easy victory at a track where he should have been forced to defend several attempts at a pass on the final lap. “I really thought (Busch and Harvick) were the cars, no matter where they went, if they got to the outside of me, I was hosed. I knew that. That would have been the end of it for me,” Logano said. “I would have gotten passed by pretty much the whole train. I would have lost so much momentum. I knew they were going to work together, as they should. Once they got picked apart, think that was the game changer.” It was Logano’s third career win at Talladega. Busch finished second, his career best finish at Talladega, as Ford drivers went 1-2. Chase Elliott was third in a Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, while Kevin Harvick was fourth in a Stewart-Haas Racing Ford. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was fifth, David Ragan sixth and Aric Almirola seventh as Ford drivers took six of the seven spots. Elliott said the Fords had too strong and steady of a strategy for him to have any chance at making a move to catch Logano. “I thought for sure one of them wanted to win more than they showed,” Elliott said. “If it was me, I would have wanted to do something or try. They were not interested in advancing. They were not going to help me move forward.” Busch said his intention was to work with Stenhouse to help SHR get a victory from either Busch or Harvick. “Two Stewart-Haas cars running second and third should have been able to pull this off,” Busch said. “I’m happy that a Ford won. Brynn Anderson | AP NASCAR driver Joey Logano celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Talladega auto race at Talladega Superspeedway, on Sunday in Talladega, Ala. It wasn’t the right one. Kevin was in good position. I was going to roll with him in any direction that I could. We just got broken up by Stenhouse. “You wish you could go over and do it again. I feel like I left that one out on the table. “ Harvick felt Busch made his move too early. “The Fords are so fast, we had five or six lined up there, and Kurt went a lap before I was ready,” Harvick said. Other events at Talladega: Johnson losing streak Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson’s losing streak hit 33 races when he finished Browns begin climb with bold moves CLEVELAND (AP) — From the start, the Browns took chances in the NFL draft. After 0-16, what did they have to lose? Cleveland’s selection of polarizing Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield with the No. 1 overall pick was a major surprise, and the Browns followed with another shocker, taking Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward at No. 4 — several slots higher than most mock drafts predicted. The team addressed the need to replace retired left tackle Joe Thomas and added a running back and defensive end on the second day as new Browns general manager John Dorsey was praised for bold moves and sound strategy. But Saturday’s choices of troubled Florida wide receiver Antonio Callaway in the fourth round and Louisiana-Lafayette cornerback Simeon Thomas were curious. Callaway failed a drug test at the NFL combine and his alarming list of legal issues with the Gators plunged him from potentially being picked in the first round to No. 114. Thomas missed time in 2013, 2014 and 2015 for academic reasons and NCAA violations. He was one of 13 players charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief after they were accused of entering a dorm room and taking $2,400 worth of items. Shortly after making the Callaway pick, Dorsey left the team’s draft room to defend the choice. Dorsey told reporters the team was satisfied it had done its homework on Callaway’s background, just as it had on Mayfield, whose Heisman Trophy-winning year began with an offseason arrest. “Character is important,” Dorsey said. “I think it’s a case-by-case basis and you sit and meet individuals, and then you begin to understand what they are as people. If you sit there and understand his situations and his life story, you can see a guy that actually loves the game of football.” Callaway’s passion notwithstanding, his selection seems at odds with the Browns’ message of adding quality people to change their culture. But Dorsey, hired in December, has a track record for picking players at risk. While Kansas City’s GM, he drafted wide receiver Tyreek Hill, cornerback Marcus Peters and tight end Travis Kelce despite all bringing off-field baggage into the league. Each has made multiple Pro Bowls. Dorsey feels Callaway would have been one of the top two receivers drafted if not for his offfield problems, which include a season-long suspension in 2017 during an investigation into felony credit card fraud, marijuana possession and a sexual assault complaint.

He was part of a 14-car accident late in the race when he slid in front of teammate William Byron to start the melee that knocked out two Team Penske cars — Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney — as well as second stage winner Paul Menard. Johnson thought as he closed in on Byron, the air was taken off his Chevrolet. “I was in the second lane and he came up near my lane and then packed air underneath us and around it went,” Johnson said. McMurray’s long weekend Jamie McMurray was involved in two accidents at Talladega, including a frightening crash during a practice session in which his Chevrolet rolled several times. He didn’t catch any breaks on Sunday and was in an early accident that led to a 28th-place finish. Hard to drive The rules package NASCAR used Sunday at Talladega made the cars difficult to drive and changed the dynamic of a race that usually is marked by multiple accidents. “The cars weren’t handling really good, so you had to be very cautious with the runs that you had and where you had them,” Johnson said. Drivers weren’t able to make big moves or slingshot passes, and it created a lot of singlefile racing. “I think the cars are a handful to drive and I think that is why we have seen a lot of single file racing, just because everybody’s confidence in their cars isn’t as high as it has been in the past,” Kyle Larson said. “Less big moves and stuff, so I think it kind of gets single file because of that.” Up next Sunday’s race at Dover International Speedway in Delaware, where Johnson scored his last Cup victory last year. Point Pleasant tames Panthers, 9-8 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com HAMLIN, W.Va. — It ended up being a fun roller-coaster ride. After a few twists and turns, the Point Pleasant baseball team ended up snapping a fourgame losing skid during a 9-8 victory over host Lincoln County in a non-conference contest Friday night. The Big Blacks (9-9) got back to the .500 mark in anything but a conventional manner as the guests built a 4-0 lead halfway through the first, but the Panthers rallied with four scores of their own to knot things up one inning into play. The Red and Black answered with a run in the top of the second, but LCHS countered with three runs in the home half of the third while taking its only lead of the game at 7-5. PPHS answered with two runs in the top half of the fourth while tying things up at seven, then came the fifth inning — which proved to be quite pivotal in the final outcome. Alec Smith started the frame with a leadoff walk, then came around with what proved to be the eventual gamewinning run after a one-out double from Carter Smith Smith moved to third base on a single by Austin Richardson and eventually scored on a passed ball, allowing the Big Blacks to secure a 9-7 advantage. With two away and runners at first and second in the bottom of the fifth, Parsons came through with a single that allowed Stone to score for a one-run contest. LCHS left the tying run stranded at second in the fifth, then left two more on board in both the sixth and seventh frames — including runners at first and second with nobody out in the sixth. PPHS, conversely, had only one hit over the final two frames, and that lone baserunner was part of an inning-ending double play in the sixth. Point Pleasant had nine batters come to the plate in the top of the first, which led to four runs on three hits, a walk, a hit batter and an error. Lincoln County also sent nine batters to the plate in the home half of the first, which accounted for four runs on seven hits — including a leadoff homer from Brogan. Miles Williams led the second off with a single, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error. Carter Smith followed with a single that allowed Williams to stroll home for a 5-4 edge. The Panthers plated three runs in the bottom of the third as two errors, a single and a sacrifice fly allowed the hosts to secure a 7-5 cushion. Carter Smith led off the fourth with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball, then Tucker Mayes hammered a one-out home run over the left-center field wall — tying the game at seven-all through four complete. Both teams produced 14 hits and committed three errors apiece in the contest. The Big Blacks stranded eight runners on base, while the hosts left seven on the bags. Sam Pinkerton was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four runs (one earned), four hits and one walk over four innings of relief while striking out five. Stone took the loss after surrendering four runs (three earned) and 10 hits while fanning five in four innings of relief. Mayes led PPHS with three hits and four RBIs, with Carter Smith also providing three hits to go along with a team-best three runs scored. Smith also knocked in two runs and Mayes scored twice. Williams and Kylear Morrow were next with two hits apiece, while Richardson, Alec Smith, Brody Jeffers and Hunter Bush each had a safety in the triumph. Williams also scored two times. Brogran, McKinney, Stone and Crist paced LCHS with two hits apiece. Vance knocked in a team-high two RBIs, while Adkins and Stone each scored twice in the setback.
