Vic Wolfe displays honey harvested from his hives.

Regional Garden Club event held
By Lorna Hart
Special to the Sentinel

SYRACUSE — Meigs
County Garden Clubs
(MCGC) recently hosted
the Spring Ohio Association of Garden Clubs
(OAGC) Region 11
meeting at the Syracuse
Community Center.
Region 11 includes garden clubs from Athens,
Gallia and Meigs.
The theme for the
meeting, “Think
Spring”, was prominently featured in the
decorations as guests
from Gallia and Athens
garden clubs enjoyed
breakfast during the
meet and greet. During
breaks, guests browsed
tables ﬁlled with sale

plants and silent auction
items.
The mornings program began with “The
World of Bees and
Honey”, presented by
Vic Wolfe of Racine,
Ohio. Wolfe has been a
beekeeper since purchasing his ﬁrst hive 1997.
He said his interest
began after noticing a
lack of bees in his yard.
“I looked out one
spring, and I didn’t see
as many bees as usual,
and I wondered why,”
said Wolfe.
Wolfe was not alone
in his observation; what
he was witnessing was a
worldwide phenomenon.

Marijuana growers turning to hemp
Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, Ore.
— A glut of legal marijuana is driving Oregon
pot prices to rock-bottom levels, prompting
some nervous growers
to start pivoting to
another type of cannabis
to make ends meet —
one that doesn’t come
with a high.
Applications for
state licenses to grow
hemp — marijuana’s
non-intoxicating cousin
— have increased more
than twentyfold since
2015, making Oregon
No. 2 behind Colorado
among the 19 states
with active hemp cultivation. The rapidly
evolving market comes
amid skyrocketing
demand for a hempderived extract called
cannabidiol, or CBD,
seen by many as a
health aid.
In its puriﬁed distilled
form, CBD oil commands thousands of dollars per kilogram, and
farmers can make more
than $100,000 an acre
growing hemp plants to
produce it. That distillate can also be converted into a crystallized
form or powder.
“Word on the street is
everybody thinks hemp’s
the new gold rush,”

Don Ryan | AP

Trevor Eubanks, plant manager for Big Top Farms, shovels dried
hemp April 23 as branches hang drying in barn rafters overhead
at their production facility near Sisters, Ore. A glut of legal
marijuana has driven pot prices to rock-bottom levels in Oregon,
and an increasing number of nervous growers are pivoting to
another type of cannabis to make ends meet — hemp.

Jerrad McCord said,
who grows marijuana
in southern Oregon
and just added 12 acres
(5 hectares) of hemp.
“This is a business.
You’ve got to adapt,
and you’ve got to be a
problem-solver.”
It’s a problem few
predicted when Oregon
voters opened the door
to legal marijuana four
years ago.
The state’s climate
is perfect for growing
marijuana, and growers
produced bumper crops.
Under state law, none
can leave Oregon. That,
coupled with a decision
to not cap the number
of licenses for growers,
has created a surplus.

its size. There are
nearly 1 million pounds
(450,000 kilograms)
of usable ﬂower in the
system, and an additional 350,000 pounds
(159,000 kilograms)
of marijuana extracts,
edibles and tinctures.
“Usable ﬂower” refers
to the dried marijuana
ﬂower — or bud — that
is most commonly associated with marijuana
consumption.
The Oregon Liquor

which regulates the
industry, says some of
the inventory of ﬂower
goes into extracts, oils

THEIR VIEW

Help wanted: Adults
who behave at youth
sports games
The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

There’s a punching bag in sports that has nothing to do with boxing. Think back to Lou Piniella, and his ﬁery tirades that would culminate in
the Cubs manager kicking dirt onto an umpire’s
shoes. Or Indiana University coaching legend
Bobby Knight ﬂinging a chair across the basketball ﬂoor over a ref’s call.
In professional sports, ripping the ref has
always been seen, sadly, as part of the game. In
baseball, jawing at the umpire nose to nose has
that element of theater to it — Yankees manager
Billy Martin’s blow-ups were must-see TV for
many Americans. And John McEnroe’s tantrums
at the feet of stone-faced chair umpires were as
entertaining as his half-volleys.
But in the world of youth sports, ripping the ref
has consequences.
The Chicago Tribune’sKate Thayer recently
reported that in Illinois as well as the rest of
the country, the number of people working as
umpires and referees at youth sports leagues and
high school sporting events is dropping. The
Illinois High School Association, the governing
body for high school sports in the state, says it
has 12,310 licensed referees and umpires, 2,000
fewer than it had during the 2010-11 school year.
Youth sports leagues in the Chicago area say
they’re struggling to ﬁnd people to ref and ump
games.
The reason? Parents, coaches and fans behaving badly.
In 2016, the then-mayor of south suburban
Monee was accused of breaking the jaw of an
umpire at a youth baseball game. The man, who
was coaching, became upset that the umpire
had given an 8-year-old batter an extra strike. In
February in Charlotte, N.C., a coach got angry
with calls being made at a fourth grade basketball game and charged onto the court, slapping
one referee in the back of the head and punching
another. Both referees were treated for minor
injuries. In January in Raytown, Mo., a fan at a
junior varsity basketball game was arrested after
he walked onto the court and allegedly suckerpunched a referee. The list goes on.
There’s nothing entertaining about watching
some half-in-the-bag dad screaming at a 17-yearold umpire over a call at the plate, or a soccer
mom going ballistic with a ref over her 9-year-old
getting tripped on a breakaway.
The biggest impact of these ugly displays,
however, is on the youngsters who have to watch
them. Kids learn so much from youth sports —
the value of teamwork, the notion of fair play, the
meaning behind trying your hardest. But what’s
the takeaway when a 7-year-old watches his or
her coach unload on an ump over a close call?
The National Association of Sports Ofﬁcials,
which has more than 26,000 members, did a survey last year and found that 87 percent of referees
and umpires responding had experienced verbal
abuse when ofﬁciating. It’s no wonder many are
opting out. “This is a real challenge,” the association’s founder, Barry Mano, told the Tribune.
When games start getting canceled because
there’s no one to ofﬁciate, maybe parents and
coaches will start thinking twice about blowing
their tops at a ref or ump. But there’s an even
better reason why they should think twice: those
7- and 8-year-olds standing there petriﬁed.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Tuesday, May 15, the 135th day of
2018. There are 230 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History
On May 15, 1968, two days of tornado outbreaks began in 10 Midwestern and Southern
states; twisters were blamed for 72 deaths,
including 45 in Arkansas and 18 in Iowa.
On this date
In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, married
her third husband, James Hepburn, the Earl
of Bothwell, who had been implicated in (but
acquitted of) the death of Mary’s second husband, Lord Darnley.
In 1776, Virginia authorized its delegation to
the Continental Congress to support independence from Britain.
In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed
an act establishing the Department of Agriculture.
In 1918, U.S. airmail began service between
Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York.
In 1928, the Walt Disney cartoon character
Mickey Mouse made his debut in the silent animated short “Plane Crazy.”
In 1930, registered nurse Ellen Church, the

Oakland-to-Chicago ﬂight operated by Boeing
Air Transport, a forerunner of United Airlines.
In 1948, hours after declaring its independence, the new state of Israel was attacked by
Transjordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.

Recently, in a decision

let’s just say I stopped

obsolete.
Then I found myself at

have occurred throughout history, but this time
the vanishing of bees was
so widespread scientists
began to investigate and
named the syndrome
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). No single
proposal for the cause of
CCD has been accepted
in the scientiﬁc community, but there are numerous suggestions, including infections, malnutrition, pathogens, loss of
habitat, and pesticides.
He shared some interesting facts: a colony of
honeybees settled in a
hive is a swarm; honeybees emigrate together
from a hive accompanied
by a queen to start a
new colony, this is called
swarming. While bees
are swarming they do
not sting because they
have ﬁlled themselves
with honey in anticipation of the move.
“They ﬁll up on honey
and don’t sting, so it
is a good time to move
them, you can just walk
into the swarm and they
won’t bother your at all.”
He said bees communicate by dancing, and that
scout bees are instructing other bees on the
location of the discovered nectar source.
“Bees have a strong
and exact navigation
system; you need to be
very careful when you
move the hives. They
always come back to the
same spot, and just a
few inches can make a
difference in whether or
not the bees can ﬁnd the
hive, so if you are going
to move a hive, it needs
to be done gradually over
several days.”
When asked about
purchasing honey in a
grocery store, he urged
everyone to buy locally.
“No matter what the

label says it is not local
honey. And the honey in
stores has been heated,
that takes all the good
stuff out of the honey.
You aren’t getting the
beneﬁts when that happens.”
A tip for keeping bees
out of bird feeders is to
place Crisco around the
feeders.
“It keeps ants away
too. They are both hunting for sugar and some
of the seeds are sweet,”
noted Wolfe.
Wolfe explained that
bee keeping is a complicated and expensive
business, requiring dedication and knowledge to
maintain healthy hives
and that the honey we
all enjoy is the way bees
store food for the hive to
eat during cooler winter
periods when they are
unable to forage.
“It is becoming harder
and harder for bees to
ﬁnd enough ﬂowers to
gather nectar to make
their honey. They are ﬂying father and father and
using lots of energy to
ﬁnd enough to make the
honey the hive needs to
survive.”
This was a ideal
segue for Meigs County
Extension Agent Kevin
Fletcher with the topic
“Beneﬁcial Plants and
Insects”.
“Gardeners are an
important part of the
ecosystem and can have
a big impact on providing food and shelter to
pollinators. By understanding what plants and
insects are beneﬁcial to
your garden, you can
create these resources
by selecting the proper
products to engage and
encourage a healthy garden.”

Some insects are vital
to a healthy ecosystem
and by destroying them
you upset the balance
and make the garden
vulnerable to destructive
insects,” said Fletcher.
Chemicals also harm
pollinators. Not only
can pesticides result in
immediate death, pollinators often carry the product back to their hives or
spread it to other plants,
exposing even more pollinators to the effects.
“Learning proper
gardening practices
can reduce the need for
pesticides, which should
always be used sparingly. A healthy garden
will include insects that
will counteract harmful
ones. Having healthy soil
encourages insects like
lady bugs and discourages many plant diseases
naturally.”

tion that illustrated many
different types of gardens
that are attractive to pollinators.
Fletcher explained pollinators can be selective
in their choice of plants,
and that each have special needs, so a variety
of ﬂowering plants is
recommended.
“Colorful and showy
ﬂowers are best to
attract pollinators. You
should consider plants
that include ﬂowers with
colors, patterns, and aromas.”
The presentation
showed how ﬂowers use
a variety of strategies
to attract pollinators,
including “petal color,
scent, UV light patterns
and nectar guides. Bees
in particular use ﬂoral
qualities such as polarized light patterns, petal
texture, temperature,
humidity, and electrostatic charge to help them
locate ﬂowers”.
Fletcher suggested
ﬂowers with blue, yellow,
purple, violet, and white
are best, since most pollinators see light along the
orange-yellow spectrum.
“Pollinators and
insects see patterns and
colors humans can’t see,”
Fletcher said. “Observe
which ﬂowers in your
garden pollinators are
visiting.”

US Supreme Court
makes sports betting a
possibility nationwide
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on
Monday gave its go-ahead for states to allow gambling on sports across the nation, striking down a
federal law that barred betting on football, basketball, baseball and other sports in most states.
The justices voted 6-3 to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a 1992
law that forbade state-authorized sports gambling
with some exceptions. It made Nevada the only
state where a person could wager on the results of
a single game.
Many states have hoped their cut of legalized
sports gambling could help solve budget problems.
Stock prices for casino operators and equipment
makers surged after the ruling was announced.
The ruling, in a case from New Jersey, creates
an opening to bring an activity out of the shadows
that many Americans already see as a mainstream
hobby. The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans illegally wager about $150
billion on sports each year, and one research ﬁrm
estimated before the ruling that if the Supreme
Court were to strike down the law 32 states would
likely offer sports betting within ﬁve years.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court, “The
legalization of sports gambling requires an important policy choice, but the choice is not ours to
make. Congress can regulate sports gambling
directly, but if it elects not to do so, each state is
free to act on its own. Our job is to interpret the
law Congress has enacted and decide whether it
is consistent with the Constitution. PASPA is not.”
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer
and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. Ginsburg wrote
for the three that when a portion of a law violates
the Constitution, the court “ordinarily engages in
a salvage rather than a demolition operation,” preserving what it can. She said that instead of using
a “scalpel to trim the statute” her colleagues used
“an axe” to cut the remainder down. Breyer agreed
with the majority of the court that part of the law
must be struck down but said that should not have
doomed the rest of the law.
Concerned that questions will be raised at some
point that betting could affect teams’ performance
and the outcome of games, all four major U.S.
professional sports leagues, the NCAA and the
federal government had urged the court to uphold
the federal law. In court, the NBA, NFL, NHL and
Major League Baseball had argued that New Jersey’s gambling expansion would hurt the integrity
of their games. Outside court, however, leaders
of all but the NFL have shown varying degrees of
openness to legalized sports gambling.
On Monday, Major League Baseball issued a
statement saying the Supreme Court ruling would
have “profound effects” on the league and that it
would “continue to seek the proper protections for
our sport.”
NBA commissioner Adam Silver says the pro
basketball league remains favor “of a federal framework that would provide a uniform approach to
sports gambling in sates that choose to permit it.”
He said that “regardless of the particulars of any
future sports betting law, the integrity of our game
remains our highest priority.”
Representatives of the National Hockey League
and National Football League had no immediate

Kevin Harvick celebrates after winning the NASCAR Cup Series auto race at Kansas Speedway on Saturday in Kansas City, Kan.

Harvick passes Truex to win at Kansas
KANSAS CITY, Kan.
(AP) — Nobody has
been able to keep pace
with Kevin Harvick this
season.
Not even the reigning series champion on
a track where he swept
both races last season.
Harvick surged past
Martin Truex Jr. with one
lap to go Saturday night
at Kansas Speedway, winning for the ﬁfth time in
what has turned out to
be a record-setting start
to the year. His total
matches a career high
for Harvick, who still has
24 chances to win a few
more Monster Energy
Cup Series races.
Nobody had ever won
ﬁve of the ﬁrst 12 races in
NASCAR’s top series.
“Man, that was wild the
last few laps,” said Harvick, who deftly dodged a
couple late-race cautions,
then used four fresh tires
to roar to the front on the
ﬁnal restart with 10 laps
remaining.
“That was so fun,” he
said, “hearing those fans
screaming and yelling. It
was a great race.”
Harvick made the ﬁnal
pass as he crossed the
start-ﬁnish line to take
the white ﬂag, while
Truex chased him the
ﬁnal lap to ﬁnish second
— a strong showing after
his two wins at Kansas
last year.
“He just got through
trafﬁc too quick and was
too fast,” Truex said.
“The ﬂip switched, I got
tight, started shaking

the right front tire and I
knew I was in trouble. He
was coming quick.”
Joey Logano ﬁnished
third, and Kyle Larson
rallied from a late tangle
with Ryan Blaney to ﬁnish fourth. Denny Hamlin
rounded out the top ﬁve
for Joe Gibbs Racing.
“Kevin was ripping
there with the new tires
at the end. He was the
fastest,” Logano said.
“My only show was those
guys (Harvick and Truex)
wrecking each other and
they’re too good for that.”
The race was free of
wrecks until the last 30
laps, when Alex Bowman and Daniel Suarez
got into each other. But
things really shook up a
few laps later, when Harvick passed Larson on the
restart to assume control,
and the No. 42 car began
bumping with Blaney
down the front stretch.
Those two got together,
sending Blaney into the
wall and Larson into the
pits.
“I’m deﬁnitely to blame
on that,” said Blaney, who
won the ﬁrst stage before
Larson had charged to
the front to capture the
second. “Just trying to
side-drift too hard.”
The race had barely
returned to green when
William Byron triggered
a heavy wreck in front
of the grandstand. Local
favorites Clint Bowyer
and Jamie McMurray
were among a half-dozen
cars involved.
“That one hurt really

bad, but I’m ﬁne,” Byron
said. “We took two tires
and just couldn’t get it
turned on the bottom.
We were trying to kind of
push some things there
and it didn’t work out.”
The red ﬂag set up one
last sprint to the ﬁnish.
Truex used some pit
strategy to restart in the
lead, and quickly built a
buffer. But the No. 4 car
swept past Logano and
Hamlin on the outside to
put Truex in his sights,
then Harvick closed on
the lead until ﬁnally overtaking the reigning series
champion with a lap to
go.
“They’re hitting on all
cylinders,” Truex said.
“They’ve got a great balanced race car and they’re
doing all the right things,
and we’re just a step
behind.”
Larson’s letdown
After his week started
on a high with the birth
of his daughter, Larson
was on his way to capping it with a win. But
after Harvick got around
him on the restart with
25 laps left, Blaney
bumped into him as
they dueled on the frontstretch, sending the No.
12 car into the outside
wall.
Larson needed to have
his rear fender ﬁxed, too,
and a mix-up with the
tire changer in the pits
forced him to pit again.
That left team owner
Chip Ganassi kicking a
pit cart in frustration,

and forced Larson to
restart far enough back
that he couldn’t contend
for the win.
“We had that we didn’t
turn today into a win,”
he said, “but satisfying
to see how much speed
our car had tonight, and
good to show Chevy has
some speed, at least the
42 team.”
Speaking of
Chevrolet continued to
struggle with only Larson
breaking the stranglehold
of Ford and Toyota for
the top 11 spots. Chase
Elliott was the next-best
Chevy in 12th. Jimmie
Johnson was 19th.
Kenseth’s return
Matt Kenseth had a
forgettable return to
the Cup Series. The
former series champ’s
ﬁrst race as part of a
timeshare with Trevor
Bayne in the No. 6 for
Roush Fenway Racing
was spent lamenting a
lack of speed, and ended
when Byron triggered
his hard wreck with 15
laps to go.
Up next
The series heads to
Charlotte Motor Speedway next Saturday night
for the All-Star Race.
NASCAR will be using a
new aerodynamic package that includes restrictor plates designed to
create more side-by-side
racing, similar to the
three-wide racing at Daytona.

Reds sweep
Dodgers
with 5-3 win
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers
felt like they had hit a low point.
Eugenio Suarez and Joey Votto homered, and the
last-place Cincinnati Reds beat Los Angeles 5-3 Sunday for their ﬁrst four-game sweep of the Dodgers
since the Big Red Machine accomplished the feat in
August 1976.
“This might be more difﬁcult to turn the page after
losing four to the Reds at home,” Dodgers manager
Dave Roberts said. “I just want to clear this from my
mind.”
Luis Castillo (3-4) allowed three runs — two earned
— and four hits in six innings with eight strikeouts
and no walks. Cincinnati outscored the Dodgers 20-9
over the four games.
“You’ve got to keep grinding. You’ve got to ﬁnd a
way,” Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen said.
The defending NL champion Dodgers ﬁnished a 1-5
homestand and have lost seven of eight. At 16-23 they
are fourth in the NL West, just one game ahead of San
Diego.
“We have the same squad as last year and we are
going to keep grinding it out and things hopefully will
turn around here pretty soon,” Cody Bellinger said.
Cincinnati has won six straight following an 8-27
start yet remains last in the NL Central.
Three relievers ﬁnished the four-hitter. Raisel Iglesias got three straight outs for his seventh save in
eight chances.
“I feel really happy,” Castillo said through a translator. “That’s a really good team, a tough team.”
Rich Hill (1-2) gave up three runs — two earned
— six hits and four walks over 5 2/3 innings and 98
pitches. The Dodgers are without injured ace Clayton Kershaw and hurt regulars Corey Seager, Justin
Turner and Logan Forsythe.
Turner and Forsythe are expected to be back in the
lineup Tuesday in Miami.
“It’s going to be a huge boost,” Hill said.
Roberts and Yosuke Nakajima, the team’s soft tissue
specialist, went to the mound with two outs in the
sixth and looked at the left middle ﬁnger of Hill, who
had a blister on the ﬁnger that caused him to go on
the disabled list from April 7-16 and from April 17 to
May 16. Roberts said Hill was taken out as precaution
and is expected to start Saturday at Washington.
Suarez hit a two-run homer in the third, and Yasiel Puig cut the lead in half in the bottom half with
his ﬁrst home run since Game 5 of last year’s World
Series.
Alex Blandino’s sacriﬁce bunt drove in a run in the
fourth, and Votto hit a two-run homer for a 5-1 lead in
the sixth.
Yasmani Grandal hit a solo homer in the seventh
and Bellinger followed with a single that chased Castillo.
Bellinger started, a day after ignoring a take sign
and attempting a bunt with a 3-0 count in the ninth
inning of a 5-3 defeat. Bellinger was benched a couple
of weeks ago for not hustling.
“To his credit, he came in last night and took
accountability for it,” Roberts said. “So for me, as a
young player, that’s the biggest win. To not make an
excuse and own it and move on.”
The Reds started a three-game series Monday in
San Francisco.
Animal house
A raccoon was found by a member of the cleaning
crew in the visitor’s bullpen. Animal Control was
called and by about 2½ hours before game time, an
employee trapped the raccoon in a cage and took the
critter away. Many of the Reds players hadn’t arrived
on their team bus from Pasadena while the raccoon
wrapped himself around a bar in the bullpen.

LeBron has ‘zero’ concern after Game 1 loss
BOSTON (AP) —
LeBron James has made
Boston’s TD Garden
his personal playground
during the playoffs in
recent years.
The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the Eastern
Conference ﬁnals with
a 9-3 record against the
Celtics in games played
at the Garden over the
last four years, including
six straight wins.
James’ 979 postseason
points against Boston
were the most by any
player against any opponent in the last 50 years.
And his 21 playoff wins
against the Celtics were
also the most against
them during that span.
But none of that mattered Sunday in Boston’s dominating 108-83
win over Cleveland
in Game 1 , in which
James committed seven
turnovers while being
held to just 15 points,
nine assists and seven
rebounds.
It would be solid night
for most NBA players,
but was pedestrian by
the super-human standard that LeBron has
set for himself this postseason, at times singlehandedly carrying the
Cavs to victories.
But he was clear that
his concern level down
being 1-0 was “zero.”
“I didn’t go to college,
so it’s not March Madness,” he said. “You see
ways you can get better
throughout the series.
But I’ve been down 0-1,
I’ve been down 0-2. I’ve
been down before in the
postseason.
“But for me, there’s

on Sunday in Boston.

no level of concern no
matter how bad I played
tonight with seven turnovers, how inefﬁcient I
was shooting the ball. …
We have another opportunity to be better as a
ballclub come Tuesday
night and we’ll see what
happens.”
James said the Celtics
deserved credit for the
defensive strategy they
employed against him,
which started with Marcus Morris challenging
him from outset, limiting him to 2-of-6 shooting in the ﬁrst quarter
as Cleveland fell into a
36-18 hole.
“I think they had
a great game plan in
Game 1, and he was the
start of it,” James said.
“He was my matchup
and I think they did a
great job of communicating throughout the

whole game, knowing
where I was and all of
my teammates was.
(Celtics coach) Brad
(Stevens) did a great
job.”
“We have an opportunity to look at some ﬁlm
tomorrow and see ways
they was making us
uncomfortable.”
The Celtics showed
James several different looks throughout
the game, switching as
many as ﬁve different
players on him.
Morris, Jayson Tatum,
Jaylen Brown, Terry
Rozier, Marcus Smart
and Aron Baynes all
took turns guarding
James at times. Boston
frequently sent a double
team when he got the
ball in the post. It forced
him to settle for jump
shots early and limited
his ability to get to the

rim.
That in turn kept
James from creating
shots for his teammates.
For the game Cleveland
was outscored by 18
points with James on
the ﬂoor.
“We are just going to
try to make it as tough
for him as we can,”
Rozier said. “The other
guys, obviously, (Kevin)
Love and J.R. Smith, we
don’t want to give them
open looks. … That has
been a big emphasis the
last couple of days. We
did a good job of that
and we just have to keep
it up.”
When the Cavs did
ﬁnally show a little
momentum, cutting Boston’s lead to 14 at the
end of the third quarter,
the Celtics responded
with a 7-0 run at the
start of the fourth.
