According to reports from Superintendent Jack Cullen and Lt. Jeff Fields of the Mason County Sheriff’s Department, prior to school starting on Wednesday, a written threat was discovered by a custodian inside the building. Fields and Principal Kenny Bond were alerted to the discovery and, after consulting with Cullen, the decision was made to return buses to the school and dismiss students by 8:30 a.m., followed by staff. Fields, who is also the school’s resource ofﬁcer, said he is conducting an investigation into the matter, along with conducting interviews, to determine the credibility of the reported threat. As of Wednesday afternoon, Fields said no one had been charged in the incident. Cullen said if the investigation results in a charge, it would likely be a felony.

After reading a list of names of some of the people killed in action from Meigs County, he said, “Soldiers are not exclusive to any gender, race, religion…all believed America as a nation was worth dying for. Wherever they served we say thank you for the freedom you have given us.” Hoffman then addressed members of the Gold Star families in attendance when he said,” What makes the military great are the people. You are members of a group that no one wants to join; it is a membership that is forced upon you. Your loved one made the ultimate sacriﬁce.” According to the U.S. Department of Defense website, Gold Star Lapel Buttons are given to immediate family members in recognition of a fallen member of the military. Spouses, parents and children of service members killed in the line of duty wear the pins, featuring a gold star on a purple circular background. The term Gold Star family is a modern reference that comes from the Service Flag ﬁrst ﬂown by families during World War I. The ﬂag included a blue star for every immediate family member “serving in the armed forces of the United States, during any period of war or hostilities in which the armed forces were engaged.“ If that loved one died, a gold star replaced the blue star. Hoffman encouraged everyone to say thank you any time they can, “What we can do is because of them. We need to instill a value on a veteran’s life, their blood, to come out and say thank you any time we possibly can. Their sacriﬁce allows us to be part of this freedom we all enjoy.” Hoffman served at Lackland and Forbes Air Force Bases in Kansas, with the 838 Combat Support Group, 838 Transportation Squadron in Thailand, 8th Combat Support Group, 8th Tactical Fighter Wing in Vietnam and at Travis AFB as an administrative specialist, security Police Augmentee, and FLAG missions in southeast Asia. Post Commander John Hood welcomed everyone to the services that opened with the Flag Raising ceremony. He introduced the Southern High School Lorna Hart | Courtesy photos With the Daughter’s of America on Memorial Day. “However they found their way to the military, whether they took it upon themselves to enlist or whether they were drafted, they speak to us.” — George Hoffman you well in your new endeavor and want you to know how much you have been appreciated and how much you will be missed.” Dodson said he was glad for the opportunity for his students to participate in the ceremonies. “What you do for our veterans is wonderful.

It’s hard to believe, but the 2017-2018 academic year is nearly over. Once again, Ohio Valley Bank worked with area high schools to promote ﬁnancial literacy through the OVB BANKit program. The program, which was launched in 2010, reached students at Gallia Academy High School, River Valley High School and South Gallia High School in Ohio as well as Point Pleasant High School, Wahama High School and the Mason County Career Center in West Virginia. Approximately 390 students completed the program this school year. OVB BANKit brings real life banking lessons through a fun, interactive format. The program also works as a game, where students compete to win cash prizes. It spans the entirety of the academic year or semester. At the beginning of the school year, students are presented with $100 in “buzz bucks,” the OVB BANKit currency. Students may elect to keep their buzz bucks in cash or place it in mock accounts, which include checking, savings, money market and certiﬁcate of deposit. In addition, students can choose to purchase and sell shares of Pseudosoft stock, the ﬁctional OVB BANKit company. The overall goal is to have the highest portfolio total at the end of the school year/semester. With every OVB BANKit session, which typically occurs on a monthly basis, students have the opportunity to work on their banking and deposit money into their accounts of choice. During this time, the importance of money management is stressed as students are also required to draw a Real Life Card. The Real Life Card may provide unexpected cash or could be a bill, which requires immediate payment.

Oh, the soul-crushing disappointment! Did Ms. Stemm complain to the management at Walgreens, where she paid about $1 for the box? Did she ﬁre off an angry tweet or email to the company, shaming its owners with her discovery of the too-empty (in her opinion) box? Did she reﬂect that perhaps it was just as well that the box wasn’t full, since she’d likely wolf down the Junior Mints and imagine how many more calories she’d have to regret later? We don’t know. What did happen: Stemm took her grievance to court. Her lawyers claim that the Junior Mint box is “misleading, deceptive and unlawful conduct” of the mint-maker, Chicago-based Tootsie Roll Industries. “They have created this oversized theater box, and it misleads consumers because consumers believe they’re getting more candy when they purchase a box of Junior Mints than they’re actually getting,” says attorney Christopher Moon, who seeks undisclosed damages and an order that Tootsie Roll either ﬁll the box more or reduce the size of the packaging. The case is scheduled for an initial hearing Thursday. Yes, some lawyers have discovered a tasty line of business. Federal class-action lawsuits related to what’s called “slack ﬁll” in food packaging — air space in layman’s terms — have surged, according to a post on americanbar.org. And it’s not just Junior Mints and other candy in the crosshairs. These suits challenge other manufacturers, including pharmaceutical, food and consumer products companies. Many companies respond tartly that allowing air space in packages can protect the product, preventing, for instance, a potato chip demolition derby in a jostled bag. Junior Mints lawyers argue that breathing room in the box protects the candy. Moon asserts that too much space “actually can increase the chances that the candies will be damaged because they move around quite a bit inside the hard cardboard box.” We’ll leave the legal merits of these arguments to a judge. But is there anyone in America who doesn’t know that their boxes of candy, cereal and other products aren’t necessarily ﬁlled to the brim? Or that you could jiggle the candy box to determine how much is inside? Or that you could read the contents weight on the label? Or that you could reﬂect that you’ve bought Junior Mints (or whatever your favorite candy) for years now, so where’s the surprise? Beyond that, our sympathies lie squarely with … the mints. As dedicated candy aﬁcionados, we indignantly oppose any packaging change that could damage them. So shake the box, candy neophytes, if you feel compelled to determine how full it is. But gently, gently. When the green-and-white box opens, when the scent of chocolate mingled with mint wafts up, Junior Mint devotees want to pluck out perfect pearls — not a congealed mass of bruised, squashed disks. TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, May 31, the 151st day of 2018. There are 214 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 31, 1921, a race riot erupted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as white mobs began looting and leveling the afﬂuent black district of Greenwood over reports a black man had assaulted a white woman in an elevator; hundreds are believed to have died. On this date: In 1578, the Christian catacombs of ancient Rome were accidentally discovered by workers digging in a vineyard along the Via Salaria. In 1669, English diarist Samuel Pepys (peeps) wrote the ﬁnal entry of his journal, blaming his failing eyesight for his inability to continue. In 1790, President George Washington signed into law the ﬁrst U.S. copyright act. In 1889, some 2,200 people in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, perished when the South Fork Dam collapsed, sending 20 million tons of water rushing through the town. In 1916, during World War I, British and German ﬂeets fought the naval Battle of Jutland off Denmark; there was no clear-cut victor, although the British suffered heavier losses. In 1935, movie studio 20th Century Fox was created through a merger of the Fox Film Corp. and Twentieth Century Pictures. THEIR VIEW Going viral: food for thought More than 25 million. That’s how many people saw my joke on Twitter. “I once taught an 8 a.m. college class. So many grandparents died that semester. I then moved my class to 3 p.m. No more deaths. And that, my friends, is how I save lives.” I expected a few likes from fellow professors on my sleepy Twitter account with barely 60 followers. Instead, the tweet went viral, with more than 920,000 combined retweets and likes. It crossed platforms to Instagram, where it became a meme, with many more millions of views. Reddit, Facebook — suddenly it was everywhere. Thousands of comments and an endless stream of direct messages poured in. Most thought it was funny. Many tweeted pithy replies like “Teachers save lives” and “Not all heroes wear capes.” The Daily Mail wrote an article about it and Twitter spotlighted the tweet in its promotion materials. The internet seemed to be having a collective laugh, and it was heartwarming to see young and old alike all over the world relate across countries, languages, cultures, and generations. Power of a single tweet As a scientist, I’ve written hundreds of research articles over the years and have spent two decades in the laboratory. Yet, if you combine all I have ever written, all my research put together, it still would not reach as many eyes as this one tweet. The backlash, however, was just as swift. The following Monday, a Chronicle of Higher Education piece took aim at the tweet. Critics wrote that the tweet trivialized the challenges students face in college, that it was disrespectful to students whose relatives really did die, and that it lacked empathy for those who were facing hardships. And although I posted a response to clarify that students who have extenuating circumstances are groups.

The repercussions of this one tweet and of more people from all walks of life now following my Twitter account is that my voice can reach more people, and more diverse people, than ever before. Certainly more than I ever could inside the university classroom where I teach. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the internet in general have become classrooms and town halls of their own for billions of people. As a result, I can now use my voice to talk about things I have spent hundreds of thousands of hours studying — about language science and science in general. About bilingualism and the value of learning languages. About education and equal rights. Which is precisely why I believe in the upside of social media. In using it to learn, connect, laugh, share, commiserate. To join our individual voices so their message is stronger and heard further. My individual voice is that of a woman. A scientist. A teacher. A parent. An immigrant. Contrary to what the critics of my tweet may think, I understand hardship. I came to the United States alone, as a teenager, with $2.41 in my pocket, and worked multiple jobs to put myself through college and graduate school. And my beloved grandfather passed away while I was in college. I get it. I do. A sense of humor was at times the only thing I felt I had. At a time in which trolling is the norm and the choice is to suffer through it or opt out, a change is needed in how we interact with each other. If we pre-emptively silence ourselves due to consequences that might occur, only the loudest will have a share of voice, a seat at the table, and a ontribution to the public narrative. Indeed, it’s time to shift how we engage with those we don’t necessarily agree with so that the See VIRAL | 5 �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Wahama Thursday, May 31, 2018 5 threat.

One resident suggested the Middleport Village Council create a Facebook page to keep the residents informed of village issues and changes during village projects. Council Member Brian Conde mentioned the council does have a website where the minutes from council meetings are posted, https:// vomiddleport.wordpress. com/village-council/. Conde said minutes have been posted up to the April 9th meeting. He and fellow council members urged residents to attend the council meetings themselves and stay up to date on the village’s current projects. Commissioner Randy Smith questioned why the bond the contractors were required to carry was not executed and instead allowing the change orders to occur. He also asked why residents’ wishes were not taken into consideration before the changes to the original plan were made. Woodall explained not only the contractors, but the village had to do change orders during phase one of the project. He said the decision to pave Fifth Street to Seventh Street with asphalt was a ﬁnancially sound decision for the village. Woodall said he will be contacting the Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance (DEFA) about the contingencies of the project and will address the issue at the next regularly scheduled council meeting. Woodall told residents if they wish to speak with him further about the sewer project or any other issues they may have, they are welcome to set up a meeting with him.

His eighth straight NBA Finals sets up as one of his most difﬁcult, ﬂanked by a largely unheralded set of teammates who force him to do much more at 33 than most other players are ever asked. But James keeps showing he can do it, and he can’t wait for his chance to win another ring. Dare count him out? “At the end of the day, the game is won in between the lines, and we have an opportunity to play for a championship,” he said after Sunday’s 87-79 victory over Boston. “That’s all that matters.” James dragged an injured and inconsistent Cavaliers team out of the Eastern Conference and back to the NBA Finals, where they will be an underdog against whichever team wins Game 7 in the West on Monday. But after playing all 48 minutes in his 100th game of the season, punctuating one of the greatest series a player has ever had with 35 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists, he sure looks capable of more. And the Cavaliers will need every bit of it. They had to play seven games just to get out of the ﬁrst round, and seven more to ﬁnish a climb out of 2-0 deﬁcit against a younger, more athletic Celtics team. They have to be tired, and that’s no way to go into a series against Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and the Warriors, who blew Cleveland away in ﬁve games last year, or James Harden and a Rockets team that can be every bit as potent on one end and lock teams down on the other. The only way it would appear Cleveland would have a chance would be if James can summon his highest level, the kind that perhaps no other player can reach — and then do it three more times. The Celtics have seen him do it, after he averaged 33.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 8.4 assists to eliminate them in the East ﬁnals for the second straight year. “I think we’ve played now until May 25th and May 27th the last two years, and we started on Sept. 25th,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. “That’s every day. Every day that you’re totally focused on this, and he’s gone past that eight straight times. It’s ridiculous, and he does it at this level and with the pressure, with the scrutiny. Doesn’t matter. It’s just unbelievable.” This was the year James’ ﬁnals streak looked over.

To ﬁnish as high atop the podium as possible … if possible. Athletes from Eastern, Gallia Academy, Meigs and River Valley will all take part in the 2018 OHSAA Track and Field Championships being held this Friday and Saturday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University. The quartet of Ohio Valley Publishing programs have a combined half-dozen competitors taking part in this weekend’s festivities, with Eastern accounting for half of the area’s entrants. EHS is also the only local school to have athletes competing in both the boys and girls meets. Of the six local state qualiﬁers, four boys will be making their ofﬁcial debuts at Jesse Owens Stadium while a pair of girls are appearing for the third time apiece in their respective careers. Meigs junior Kassidy Betzing is making her third consecutive state appearance in the Division II long jump event and enters the Saturday competition with the fourth-best regional mark of 17 feet, 5¾ inches. Betzing — who owns the TVC Ohio (17-7½) Meigs junior Kassidy Betzing competes in the long jump at the TVC Ohio championships on May 2 in The Plains, Ohio. and D-2 Southeast District (18-7) records in this event — placed seventh as a freshman and was the overall runner-up last spring. Betzing was also a member of last year’s eighth-place 4x100m relay team. Betzing has scored at least one point at the state level in each of her ﬁrst two seasons, giving the Lady Marauders the longest such streak of any program on the Ohio side of the OVP area. MHS had previously gone six consecutive post- seasons — dating back to the 2009 meet — without scoring at the Division II girls competition. Jessica Cook is also headed back to Columbus after a one-year hiatus, as the Eastern senior qualiﬁed for the Division III 800m run ﬁnal for the second time in her career. Cook — who was 16th in 800m event as a sophomore — enters Saturday’s ﬁnal with the 17th-best qualifying time of 2:24.02. The Shawnee State University signee also competed in both the 1600m ﬁnal (12th) and 4x800m relay (13th) during her freshman campaign. Cook — a three-time Division III state qualiﬁer in cross country — is also the only hope for the Lady Eagles to score at the state meet for a third time in ﬁve seasons, as well as in consecutive years. The Lady Eagles lead all Ohio-based programs with at least one representative at each state tournament since the 2010 campaign. A traditional program will be absent from the 2018 girls meet as Gallia Academy will not have a single female competitor at the state level since at least the mid-1990s. Starting in 1997, the Blue Angels had scored at least one point in 20 of the previous 21 Division II tournaments. The Eagles have a pair of boys competing at Jesse Owens for the ﬁrst time in their respective careers as senior Tyler Davis and junior Noah Browning are respectively in the Division III shot put and 400m dash events. Davis has the 15thbest regional mark of 48 feet, 2½ inches in the 16-person ﬁeld on Friday afternoon, while Browning owns slowest time of 51.48 seconds in the second of two semiﬁnals See TRACK | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Thursday, May 31, 2018 7 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Tri-County Junior Golf Schedule GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The schedule for the 2018 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League has been released.

Cleveland had ﬁnished just fourth in the East, never developing the necessary cohesiveness required to be even a mediocre defensive team, let alone a championship-caliber one. They still can surrender open shots everywhere, a ﬂaw that seems fatal against the 3-point happy Rockets or Warriors. The only obvious advantage the Cavaliers have is James, the kind of player who can win a Game 7 in Boston with a team that was without its other All-Star because of a concussion and couldn’t shoot straight deep into the ﬁrst half, with Cavaliers other than James missing their ﬁrst 10 3s until J.R. Smith hit one with 2:54 remaining until halftime.

THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 11 (WVAH) “I mean, the bigger the stage, the bigger the player, and he’s been doing it for us since we’ve been here,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “The great quote from the great Doc Rivers is you always want to go into the Game 7 with the best player, and we have the best player on our team going into a Game 7. I like our chances.” And he’ll like them again starting Thursday even if the oddsmakers don’t. The Cavaliers were probably far better last year and could only get a game from the Warriors. But two years ago, they also weren’t given much of a shot against the Warriors, especially after falling behind 3-1 in the ﬁnals. Nobody had ever overcome that deﬁcit in the championship round, and Cleveland had to do it against a team that had won an NBA-record 73 games. James led that comeback to Cleveland’s ﬁrst title, and now he’s got a shot for another unlikely one. “I’ll be available for at least four more games,” James said, “and we’ll see what happens.” 2018 Twyman Basketball Camp will advance to the 200m dash ﬁnal on Saturday afternoon. Gallia Academy will have at least one male athlete at the D-2 meet for a ﬁfth consecutive postseason, but the Blue Devils haven’t scored a single point since Logan Allison won the long jump and Jacob Click placed fourth in the 300m hurdles back in 2014. Neither Southern nor South Gallia have a state qualiﬁer at the 2018 meet 10 (WBNS) LeBron the Meigs County Golf Course. Registration is at 8 a.m. on Saturday and there will be a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The format will be a four-man scramble with a team handicap over 40.

The Warriors face the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals today in Oakland. Warriors await word on top defender Iguodala OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Klay Thompson sat on the ﬂoor in the middle of his teammates and pointed to his “2018 NBA FINALS” hat during a locker-room photo. An important face was missing from the moment: Andre Iguodala. In a postseason deﬁned by uncertainty for the defending champions, Golden State could be without one of its top defenders as the Warriors chase a repeat title — taking on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in a fourth straight NBA Finals matchup. Iguodala’s status for Game 1 on Thursday night is a question as he recovers from a bone bruise in his left knee, which caused him to miss the ﬁnal four games of the Western Conference ﬁnals against Houston. Cleveland’s Kevin Love is in concussion protocol, so he might not be ready, either. Coach Steve Kerr has said Iguodala, the 2015 Finals MVP, will return when he can run without pain. The Warriors sure could use his presence against King James, who is making an eighth straight Finals appearance. “We’re still without Andre, which is a big blow for us,” Kerr said before Monday’s Game 7 at Houston. “In a different way. He’s not a scorer for us as Chris (Paul) is for Houston, but a huge component. So you go through the playoffs and things hap- pen, and you’ve got to be able to bounce back no matter what and keep going.” Last month, Kerr became concerned his team’s defense wouldn’t return to its top form after Golden State struggled late in the regular season and even endured a particularly poor stretch in which the Warriors dropped seven of 10 games. Yet here they are in a familiar spring spot as June approaches. Once the buzzer sounded and the 10192 Game 7 win over Houston was ofﬁcial, the Warriors could exhale. It hasn’t been pretty for much of these playoffs, a far cry from that remarkable, record-breaking 16-1 romp through last year’s postseason.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The odds are longer than a Stephen Curry 3-pointer, Kevin Durant’s wingspan or Draymond Green’s catalog of technical fouls. LeBron James and the Cavaliers are being given little — or no — chance of winning their fourth straight NBA Finals matchup against the Golden State Warriors, who have been installed by Las Vegas bookmakers as the heaviest favorites in the past 16 years. Wanna bet? The Warriors are 12-point favorites to win Thursday’s Game 1, the largest spread in a Finals game since 1991, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue isn’t blinking. “We’re all focused on winning a championship,” Lue said Tuesday before the team ﬂew to California. “We played our best basketball going into the playoffs. We’ve gotten better and better throughout the course of the playoffs. Our main focus and our main objective is to win a championship, so we can’t worry about what the outside guys are saying and who’s being picked. We know what we have here and what we’re trying to do.” Cavs vs. Warriors, Part IV: an expected conclusion to an unpredictable season. Lue said All-Star forward Kevin Love remains in concussion protocol and his status for the series opener is in question. Love sat out Cleveland’s Game 7 win at Boston on Sunday after suffering a head injury when he and Celtics rookie forward Jayson Tatum Marcio Jose Sanchez | AP Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James follows through on a shot during practice Wednesday in Oakland, Calif. The Cavaliers face the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals today in Oakland. accidentally banged heads during the opening minutes of Game 6. Love was replaced in the starting lineup by veteran Jeff Green, who stepped up and scored 19 points as the Cavs completed their comeback after trailing 2-0 and 3-2 in the series. Love is expected back for the Finals, and Lue needs his experience against the Warriors, who like the Cavs rallied to win the Western Conference ﬁnals by taking Game 7 on the road. There was a moment when it looked as if both Cleveland and Golden State could miss the Finals. It disappeared quickly, “They’ve been tested. We’ve been tested,” Lue said. “They’ve been to Game 7s. We’ve been to Game 7s. We’ve won championships and they’ve won championships, so they understand what it takes and they knew what it took.” Since the playoffs opened, Cleveland has embraced the “Whatever It Takes” mantra that began as a catchy organizational slogan and morphed into a way of 76ers investigate critical tweets linked to Colangelo PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers have started an investigation into tweets linked in a report to team president Bryan Colangelo that criticized Sixers players Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz, among other NBA ﬁgures. The burner accounts also took aim at former Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie, Toronto Raptors executive Masai Ujiri and former Sixers players Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel, according to a report by The Ringer website. “The allegations are serious and we have commenced an independent investigation into the matter,” the Sixers said Wednesday in a statement. “We will report the results of that investigation as soon as it is concluded.” Matt Rourke | AP Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo speaks with members of the media during a news conference May 11 at the team’s practice facility in Camden, N.J. The website asked the team about ﬁve Twitter accounts it suspected Colangelo was operating. He said in a statement that he used one of the accounts to monitor the NBA industry and other current events, but that he was “not familiar with any of the other accounts” brought to OH-70031590 his attention and that he didn’t know who was “behind them or what their motives may be in using them.” Embiid, the 24-year-old All-Star center, tweeted that he didn’t believe the report. “I don’t believe the story. That would just be insane,” he wrote.

Clifford was announced Wednesday as the new coach of the Magic, a team that has missed the playoffs in each of the last six years. Clifford — who spent the last ﬁve seasons as coach of the Charlotte Hornets — was an assistant coach on Stan Van Gundy’s Magic staff during the team’s most recent playoff run in 2012. “We are very excited to welcome ��-HIIHUVRQ�$YHQXH��3RLQW�3OHDVDQW��:9��ZZZ�SYDOOH\�RUJ Steve back into the Magic family,” Magic president Jeff Weltman said. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Simon, please call survival. The Cavs have twice been pushed to seven games, overcome injuries and gotten much-needed contributions to ease the burden on James from role players Green, Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. However, in this series when every possession will be magniﬁed, Lue will count on four players who have been around since the Cavs ﬁrst met the Warriors in the 2015 Finals. And because they won a championship in 2016 together, the core four of James, Love, J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson share something special. “Just having these guys here who have been through it, been through the tough times, been through the great times as well, this is a bond that can’t be broken,” Lue said. “Just reminds me a lot of guys I played with back in the day when you see Horace Grant, Robert Horry, Derek Fisher, just something about winning a championship with those guys that you will never forget, and it’s a bond that can’t be broken.” “Steve is widely regarded throughout the NBA community as an elite coach and developer of players at all stages. His teams have always been disciplined and prepared, and have embraced the concept of playing for each other.” The team scheduled a Wednesday afternoon news conference. Clifford is replacing Frank Vogel, who was let go after two seasons. Clifford — who missed 21 games this past season while dealing with severe headaches brought on by sleep deprivation — was ﬁred by Charlotte at the end of this season, after going 196-214. Hiring Clifford is easily the biggest move made so far by Weltman. He took over the club a year ago after the team ﬁred Rob Hennigan and ended his ﬁveyear run that never got on solid footing. �COMICS 14 Thursday, May 31, 2018 Daily Sentinel HOROSCOPE FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2018 Happy Birthday: Stay in touch with people, and look for trends that will separate you from the crowd.

Garfield Blondie Shoe Dilbert Hi and Lois For Better or For Worse Sally Forth Zits Beetle Bailey Grandma is reluctant to share her title with boyfriend’s mom DEAR ABBY: My granddaughter, “Emily,” is 13. I have been very involved with her all her life. My daughter, “Ginger,” is divorced and has had a boyfriend, “Greg,” for about three years, but there has been no talk of marriage. Greg’s mother has told Emily to call her “Grandma.” Emily is OK with that, but it hurt my feelings, Abby. I feel that Greg’s mother should realize she’s using a title that’s not hers. I realize she’s trying to make Emily feel like part of their family, but to me, this is MY title, Jeanne Phillips D EAR A BBY not hers. She has known Emily for three years, and while she’s nice to her, I’m the one who has been doing grandma duties for 12 years — not her. To me, she should be called something special but not “Grandma.” How do I cope with this? Shouldn’t the other “grandma” have realized she’s pushing herself into the position of the real grandma? HURT GRANDMA IN CALIFORNIA something I cannot conjecture. However, I’m sure she didn’t do this to annoy you. If you bring this up with her, you WILL annoy HER, which will likely annoy her son and your daughter, so I advise against it. I’m betting that eventually she will become an official grandma — however, if that doesn’t happen, your problem will be solved because she’ll be history. DEAR HURT: You are taking this too personally. If Greg’s mother wasn’t hoping her son would marry your daughter, she would not be “embracing” Emily the way she has. Your granddaughter does not love this woman more than she does you. DEAR ABBY: My husWhether Greg’s mother band’s horrible sisters “should” realize she’s have invited themselves to treading on thin ice is our home in Florida. They hate me. One’s husband sexually assaulted me five years ago. When I had her come and get him (he was drunk), she accused me of making it up! (Abby, she saw it happen.) The other sister has never invited us over for dinners or special events. She’s extremely obese and will break our furniture if she sits on it. We are in our 70s, live modestly and can’t afford this selfish intrusion. My husband says, “But they’re my sisters!” Please help me get out of this. LOOKING FOR PEACE DEAR LOOKING: I’ll try. You and your husband are not joined at the hip. No law says you must be there. Yes, they are his sisters, so he can visit them in THEIR homes, without you. ‘Nuff said?
