If your soap, shampoo, toothpaste or deodorant were made by companies that still test on animals, it’s time for a fresh start. It’s hard to believe that in this day and age — when more than 2,400 responsible companies have gone cruelty-free — some manufacturers are still needlessly poisoning and killing animals in order to test their products. Rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and others are forced to swallow or inhale massive quantities of a test substance or endure immense pain Amanda Nordstrom as a chemical eats away at their eyes or skin. Some tests, such as Contributing the now-infamous lethal dose test, columnist continue until a predetermined percentage of the animals dies. No law in the U.S. requires companies to test personal-care products on animals — and such tests have been banned in the European Union, India, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, Australia and New Zealand. Not only is using animals as test tubes cruel; it often produces inaccurate or misleading results. Even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be sold to consumers. Fortunately, the number of forward-thinking companies grows every day, as more and more manufacturers reject cruel and crude tests on animals — relics of the 1920s — and opt instead for modern, sophisticated techniques to evaluate the safety of their products. The results of non-animal tests are quick and accurate, and no one gets hurt. If you don’t spend your days working on this issue, as I do, you may not realize that there are a surprising number of pioneering non-animal tests now in use and more in development, including cell and tissue cultures, reconstructed skin grown from human cells and computer models that allow extrapolation of existing data to predict the activity of a chemical. For example, the ﬂuorescein leakage test method uses a ﬂuorescent dye to measure a chemical’s ability to break through a solid layer of cells, thereby mimicking the damage that the substance would cause to the eye. This spares rabbits the pain they endure when chemicals are dripped into their sensitive eyes. EpiDermTM — a 3-D, human cell-derived skin model that replicates key traits of normal human skin — is more accurate at predicting allergic responses than cruel tests on guinea pigs and mice, which involve injecting them with chemicals or smearing substances onto their shaved skin. Even China, a country not known for its progressive stance on animal welfare, is moving forward on this issue. Late last year, the Chinese government, which currently requires cosmetics companies to pay for inhumane tests on animals, announced that it is accepting ﬁndings from the completely animal-free 3T3 Neutral Red Uptake Phototoxicity Assay, which tests chemicals for their potential toxicity when they come into contact with sunlight. As these and other sophisticated tests show, we don’t have to choose between protecting animals and keeping humans safe. It’s really a choice between effective and ineffective science. So this year, as you go about your spring cleaning, why not clear your conscience as well as your clutter? It’s as simple as making the decision to support companies that are committed to animalfriendly principles by always buying cruelty-free. PETA has a searchable online database that makes ﬁnding cruelty-free products a breeze.

The world today is a much different and in many ways a more dangerous place than it was 100 years ago, with one of our options in improving it to learn and appreciate the results of what occurred in the past. the never-ending quest to achieve peace. We learned a lesson that as a power, we couldn’t avoid world events that caused the deaths of our fellow citizens, innocent victims of the Kaiser’s U-Boat attacks on civilian shipping. Another lesson forever seared into our consciousness was the sacriﬁce of the Americans who went into service and lost their lives on shell-shattered ﬁelds and in muddy trenches. Such a loss had not been experienced by America since the Civil War and the respect shown to those soldiers who came home, and those who did not, became evident with placement of memorials in town squares and parks all over the country. In Gallipolis, the Doughboy Monument dedicated in 1931 symbolized the commitment of those who died overseas to defend their country. The monument was erected in memory of a Gallia countian, John Oliver, who joined up before even graduating high school and who died in France weeks before the Armistice ending hostilities was signed. Known as “The Spirit of the American Doughboy,” the monument was designed by master sculptor Ernest Moore “Dick” Visquesney of Spencer, Ind., and over the years came to represent the fallen not only of The Great War but successive conﬂicts in which local men and women answered the call to serve. For Visquesney, the design and manufacture of the Doughboy monuments, which continued to be bought and erected in communities well into the next world war, were “dedicated to you, America, to the World … that it may be a constant reminder of all of what real Americanism is, what it does and how it safeguards our homes and our country.” And perhaps the most vital of lessons taught us by The Great War is to heed what history hands down to us. The world today is a much different and in many ways a more dangerous place than it was 100 years ago, with one of our options in improving it to learn and appreciate the results of what occurred in the past. It is well worth pondering what kind of world would have emerged from The Great War had a more humanitarian approach been adopted toward its vanquished. But that’s a debate for another day. it sustains him. Marshall knows his future lies in the hands of a stranger saying yes to donation. Every single day 22 men, women and children in the United States die for lack of an available organ. When you join the Ohio Donor Registry, you provide hope to the more than 118,000 Americans, just like Marshall, who are waiting for a second chance at life. One organ donor has the potential to save eight lives and one tissue donor may enhance more than 50 lives. There is no cost to donate, you are never too old, and your medical care will never be compromised because of your status as a donor.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 9, 1942, during World War II, some 75,000 Philippine and American defenders on Bataan surrendered to Japanese troops, who forced the prisoners to travel on foot more than 60 miles to a prison camp in what became known as the Bataan Death March. (Thousands died or were killed en route.) On this date: In 1682, French explorer Robert de La Salle claimed the Mississippi River Basin for France. In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

Kent Holloway CEO, Lifeline of Ohio �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Husted From page 1A took second place in the state in all class levels in the American Legion’s Constitutional Oratorical Contest. He presented his speech before the assembled. Husted would take the ﬂoor after Durst. He shared he was originally from Montpelier and his parents were no nonsense folks. Husted received a bachelor’s and master’s degree as well as All-American Defensive Back honors in his time at University of Dayton. Husted claims that by cutting costs and improving technology, his ofﬁce will be able to run with no taxpayer money for the following two years. Husted has also been contemplating a run for the ofﬁce of Ohio Governor. “My parents raised the family with a philosophy of no excuses, just get the job done,” said Husted. “You’ve got to walk the talk when people put you in these ofﬁces. Else why should they trust you? We have to do these kinds of things as Republicans. We have to lead by example … You set the standard and hope others will follow it.” “We’ve won and now we’ve got to lead. We’ve got the president, the Senate and the House of Representatives,” said Husted of the federal government. “If Republicans don’t lead over the next two years, you know what’s going to happen. In the next four years, (voters) will send the opposite message. We’ve got to deliver and walk the talk.” Husted said he was fulﬁlling this through such endeavors as making improvements in the business services division of his ofﬁce. “You want to form a business in Ohio, you do it in my ofﬁce,” said Husted. “When I got there, I walked in the ﬁrst day and said explain to me how this happens. ‘You have to ﬁll out all these forms and it takes four days to happen and costs $125.’ I said why don’t we automate this and make this easier. So, we did. Since doing that, we set a record for the number of new business starts in Ohio every year. We’re up 30 percent because we automated and we don’t need as many people. While state spending at the time went up 17 percent, we cut spending by 16 percent. Thirty-three percent fewer people work for me now.” Husted would go on to stress the importance of providing a future for America’s youth. He shared his university football experiences as a means of lessons about working to strive for a better future. Husted shared that he was raised an adopted child to “hard- Sunday, April 9, 2017 5A Dean Wright | OVP Cole Durst, of Meigs County, presents his second place state winning piece as part of the America Legion Constitutional Oratorical Contest. working” parents and that many youth in Ohio felt the same opportunity to get ahead by working hard was disappearing, that the American Dream may no longer be within reach. “We’re raised to believe in America that you can do anything you want,” said Husted. “If you’re willing to pay the price and work hard and be tough and ﬁght for the things you want and believe in, we believe you can accomplish it. That’s how I was raised. That’s what I think most people think it means to be an American.” “For some people, they don’t feel like they’re getting ahead,” said Husted. “Wages aren’t keeping pace. For people, and their children, for their version of the American Dream, they feel like they’re losing access to it. That’s not American. We got to ﬁgure out what’s happening to those people and how we’re going to help them. The people I’m worried about most though are the kids.” Husted claimed 41 percent of children in Ohio were on the free or reduced lunch program in public school. Husted said that Americans worst enemies were themselves and that was the current population’s greatest struggle. If it wanted to change America would need to take a “hard look in the mirror” and decide what to do about it. Husted said those in ofﬁce have the responsibility to do so and that the public had trusted him in ofﬁce for 17 years to do so, whether as a legislator or other role. “We can do this,” said Husted. “Every genera- tion of Americans who came before us faced tough challenges and they did something about it to give us this great country… Sometimes the enemy has been a foreign invader, sometimes within. I would say America’s biggest problems are not from somebody from some other country but they are right inside our borders. It’s us. We’ve lost our way, but we’ve got to ﬁnd that way and it’s going to take all of us.” Dean Wright can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2103.

From page 4A “Thought for Today: “I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.” — Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) Dodgers, who lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 1-0. In 1917, during World War I, Canadian forces launched a successful counteroffensive against German troops in the Battle of Vimy Ridge on the Western Front. In 1939, singer Marian Anderson performed a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. after being denied the use of Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1940, during World War II, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway. In 1947, a series of tornadoes in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas claimed 181 lives. In 1959, NASA presented its ﬁrst seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald Slayton. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, 91, died in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1965, the newly built Astrodome in Houston featured its ﬁrst baseball game, an exhibition between the Astros and the New York Yankees, with President Lyndon B. Johnson in attendance. (The Astros won, 2-1, in 12 innings.) In 1967, the ﬁrst test ﬂight of Boeing’s new 737 took place as the jetliner took off from Boeing Field in Seattle on a 2½-hour trip to Paine Field in Everett, Washington. In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger ended its ﬁrst mission with a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1992, former Panamanian ruler Manuel Noriega was convicted in Miami of eight drug and racketeering charges; he served a 17-year U.S. prison sentence. In 1996, in a dramatic shift of pursestring power, President Bill Clinton signed a line-item veto bill into law. (However, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the veto in 1998.) Ten years ago: Tens of thousands of Shiites marched in Iraq to demand that U.S. forces leave their country; some ripped apart American ﬂags and tromped across a Stars and Stripes rug. President George W. Bush visited the U.S.-Mexico border to tout a guest worker program for immigrants. Five years ago: A Florida special prosecutor said a grand jury would not look into the Trayvon Martin case, leaving the decision of whether to charge the teen’s shooter in her hands alone. (Prosecutor Angela Corey ended up ﬁling second-degree murder charges against George Zimmerman, who pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense; Zimmerman was acquitted at trial.) Olympic gold medal diver Mark Lenzi died in Greenville, North Carolina, at age 43. One year ago: After weeks of frantic searching, Belgian authorities announced they had identiﬁed recently detained Paris attacks suspect Mohamed Abrini as the “man with the hat” who was spotted alongside two suicide bombers who blew themselves up at Brussels Airport the previous month. Manny Pacquiao knocked down Timothy Bradley twice on his way to a unanimous 12-round decision in their welterweight showdown in Las Vegas.

But all that was before the entire 1 1/2-mile track was repaved, and Turns 1 and 2 were reconﬁgured. “It’s a clean sheet of paper. You can’t pick a favorite right now,” Johnson said Friday. “Any time there is a reconﬁguration, a new asphalt, it’s a total game changer. All of past history is now out the window and it’s like we are coming here for the ﬁrst time.” Even for guys like Johnson , who will make his 28th start Sunday at the Texas track that was completely repaved earlier this year for the ﬁrst time since 2001. “Everyone is on equal playing ground,” Trevor Bayne said. “Nobody has 10 years of notebooks to go to and say, ‘I am Kevin Harvick and I run the bottom at Atlanta and I am really good at it.’ You can’t do that now. You don’t know what you need to do.” Harvick is the polesitter after winning all three rounds of qualifying Friday, including a fast lap of 198.405 mph on the fresh track. Johnson qualiﬁed 24th, making it through the ﬁrst round despite a spin and then not running another qualifying lap. On only the second lap of the nearly 2 1/2-hour Cup practice Friday, Denny Hamlin got loose and spun through Turns 1 and 2, but was able to keep his car off the wall. Kyle Busch later made slight contact with the rear of his car against the outer wall after going too high into the wider and lessbanked area on the track. “I just missed the entry point getting into Turn 1,” Busch said, referring to the area in the track where the changes begin.

The OVC continue her standout (Ohio Valley Conference) is going to be happy running career, but she to see her graduate.” will continue a family pboggs@civitasmedia.com tradition. That’s because Watts, as ofﬁcially announced on Thursday, will continue her cross country and track and ﬁeld career for Otterbein University — located in the Columbus suburb of Westerville. Watts, a four-time regional cross country meet qualiﬁer and Division II girls state track and ﬁeld meet qualiﬁer as a sophomore, will join the Cardinals’ programs of head coach Dara Ford. Watts’ signing ceremony took place in the Gallia Academy High School Media Center, as she was ﬂanked by her parents Randy and Betsy Watts; Gallia Academy High School cross country and girls track and ﬁeld head coach Todd May; and Gallia Academy High School Athletic Director Adam Clark. Watts said her commitment to Otterbein encompasses all three sports seasons, as she will run cross country in the fall —followed by indoor track and ﬁeld in the winter and outdoor track and ﬁeld in the spring. — Todd May, GA track and field coach “It’s a three-season commitment,” she said. “I’m very excited for the opportunities that they have and the location in Westerville. Coach (Dara) Ford is very nice and the team is progressing very well in recent years. They have a very bright future ahead of them and I’m excited to be a part of it.” Although, as she admitted, the decision between attending either Otterbein or Malone University in Canton had her “torn”. “I was torn between those two schools for a long time,” said Watts. As a decision day approached, she said she turned to May for guidance, who told her she “talked about Otterbein a lot more.” In addition, Watts raved about the Science program at Otterbein, as she plans to major in Biology. She also has received two academic scholarships from the school, as Otterbein is a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference. As far as running, Watts is a four-time Division II regional cross country qualiﬁer — including individually her ﬁnal three years. Her personal record time in the 5K run is 18 minutes and 54 seconds. She also qualiﬁed for the indoor state track and ﬁeld meet her ﬁnal three seasons —and is already a one-time outdoor state meet qualiﬁer. Two years ago — and a year after her older sister Hannah placed third in the Division II girls 800m run — Watts was 10th in the one-mile (1,600m) run. Hannah Watts is a two-time All-American at Hillsdale College in Michigan, while Luke Watts placed ﬁfth in the boys pole vault in the Division II state meet in 2008. “She is doing the proud family tradition,”said May. However, Watts’ work ethic is arguably her best attribute. “Mary is just an outstanding worker. She has earned everything she has through hard work,” said May. “She has meant stability to our program that is going to be hard to replace. She has never sat out a meet, she has had a remarkable career of staying healthy and being durable. Mary probably doesn’t need to run in college if she didn’t want to, because she is very smart. All of the Watts kids are really motivated in the classroom. She decided she wanted to run, and I think Otterbein is a good ﬁt for her. She is ready to be a college athlete. And I think she is going to be one of those people that continues to get faster as she gets older.” In outdoor track and ﬁeld, Watts excels in the distance events (800m, 1,600m and 3,200m) — and also runs the one-lap 400m dash. She is also a key cog for the Blue Angels’ 4x800m and 4x400m relay teams, and actively high jumps as well. “Her potential is limitless. She is one of the best high jumpers around, and doesn’t really have to work at it because she is so athletic. Then she can run anything ranging from the 400m to the 3,200m and two relays (4x400m and 4x800m),” said May. “I think she See WATTS | 6B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, April 9, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel M L B E X PA N D E D G L A N C E Baltimore Boston Tampa Bay Toronto New York W 3 2 3 1 1 L 0 1 2 3 3 Minnesota Cleveland Detroit Chicago Kansas City W 4 3 2 1 1 L 0 1 1 2 3 Los Angeles Houston Oakland Texas Seattle W 3 3 2 1 1 L 2 2 3 3 4 Washington New York Miami Philadelphia Atlanta W 3 2 2 1 1 L 1 2 2 3 3 Cincinnati Chicago Milwaukee Pittsburgh St. Louis W 3 2 2 1 1 L 1 2 3 2 3 Arizona Colorado Los Angeles San Diego San Francisco W 4 4 3 2 1 L 1 1 2 3 4 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB 1.000 — — .667 1 — .600 1 — .250 2½ 1½ .250 2½ 1½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB 1.000 — — .750 1 — .667 1½ — .333 2½ 1 .250 3 1½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .600 — — .600 — — .400 1 1 .250 1½ 1½ .200 2 2 NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .750 — — .500 1 ½ .500 1 ½ .250 2 1½ .250 2 1½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .750 — — .500 1 ½ .400 1½ 1 .333 1½ 1 .250 2 1½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .800 — — .800 — — .600 1 — .400 2 1 .200 3 2 AMERICAN LEAGUE Thursday’s Games Minnesota 5, Kansas City 3 Pittsburgh at Boston, ppd.

Tornadoes take 3rd at Logan meet By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com LOGAN, Ohio — The Southern Tornadoes track and ﬁeld squads — both boys and girls — placed third in a ﬁve-team meet at Logan High School on Wednesday. The Lady Tornadoes, thanks to four individuals, totaled 36 points —while the Southern boys scored 20 points over the course of 19 total events. In addition to the 17 traditional meet events, Logan’s affair also included the shuttle hurdles relay and the triple jump. For the Southern girls, freshmen Baylee Wolfe and Sydney Roush —along with sophomore Mallory Johnson and senior Kamryn Smith — combined for all 36 of the Lady Tornadoes’ markers. Wolfe led the way with a dozen, placing second in the 400m dash, third in the high jump and fourth in the long jump. Roush was the Lady Tornadoes’ only event winner —capturing the two-runner two-mile run (3,200m) in 13 minutes and 33 seconds. She edged out Emma Lands of Logan Elm by a mere 14 onehundredths of a second. Roush also ran fourth in the 400m dash, as Johnson was third in the one-mile run (1,600m). Smith was the runner-up to Logan Elm’s Lisa Bailey in the long jump, leaping exactly 14-feet and falling a half-foot shy of Bailey’s best. Smith sprinted to a third-place effort in the 200m dash, as the meet was scored on an 8-6-4-2-1 points basis. For the boys, junior Larry Dunn placed second in the 1,600m run and third in the 800m run, while Connor Wolfe was third in the mile and Gage Barrett took third in the 300m hurdles. Dylan Smith in the 400m dash and David Dunfee in the shot put posted a single point apiece. Host Logan swept the team championships, as the boys amassed 224 points — while Logan Elm amounted 82. Wellston was one point better than Miller, 15-14, for fourth. On the girls side, the Lady Chiefs (135.5) clipped Logan Elm (132) by a mere three-and-a-half points for the team title. Southern nudged Miller by a single counter (36-35), while Wellston was ﬁfth with 8.5 points.

The Lady Knights (8-1) originally started their contest against the Lady Wildcats back on March 27, but inclement weather postponed the conlcusion of the event until Tuesday. The delay, however, ultimately didn’t affect Point’s recent play as the hosts rolled to their ﬁfth 7-0 sweep of the year. Olivia Pyles posted an 8-5 win over Peyton Mann in ﬁrst singles, while Bailey Barnett earned an 8-3 win over Lauren Volk in second singles. Danielle Marcum scored an 8-6 win over Katie Eddy in third singles and Sarah Deem completed singles play with an 8-3 win over Hailey Hagerman in fourth singles. Pyles and Barnett scored an 8-5 win over Mann and Volk in ﬁrst doubles, while Marcum and Deem eaned an 8-4 victory over Eddy and Hagerman in second doubles. Kenlee Bonecutter and Caroline Foreman completed the sweep with an 8-1 win over Keaira Baldwin and Katie Carneﬁx in third doubles. Olivia Martin also scored a 6-1 victory for PPHS in exhibition play. Point Pleasant returns to action on Monday when it travels to Ravenswood for a 4:30 p.m. contest. Ravenswood handed the Lady Knights their lone setback during a 4-3 decision at PPHS back on March 24.

Regan fulfills goal to pitch batting practice at age 80 NEW YORK (AP) — On the second day of his life as an octogenarian, former big league pitcher Phil Regan walked out to the inﬁeld and threw batting practice for the New York Mets. On a brisk afternoon before Friday night’s game against the Miami Marlins, Regan took his tosses from about 30 feet, just like the other BP pitchers. Regan had been talking about his goal for a year at the team’s spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida. “I said I hope that when I’m 80, that I can throw batting practice — that’s going to be my goal, to throw when I’m 80,” he said Regan, 96-81 during 13 big league seasons, is in his ninth season with the Mets and is their assistant minor league pitching coordinator. He turned 80 on Thursday and had planned to throw BP to minor leaguers at Port St. Lucie. His plan changed at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when he picked up his phone and Brian Small, the Mets’ manager of team travel, was on the line. “Hey, can you catch a plane up here tomorrow morning?” Regan remembered Small asking him. Regan joked about the zip on his fastball. “Probably about 95,” he said of his mph. “I’m going to tone it down a little bit for the BP, though.” Regan pitched for Detroit (1960-65), the Los Angeles Dodgers (1966-68), the Chicago Cubs (1968-72) and Chicago White Sox (1972), earning his only All-Star selection in 1966. He won 15 games in 1963 and 14 in ‘66, and was nicknamed The Vulture by Dodgers teammate Sandy Koufax for getting wins out of the bullpen. “I never had an arm problem when I was pitching, My last year with the Cubs, I thought I still was throwing pretty good, but they started hitting the ball. I was making good pitches but wasn’t getting anybody out.” he said. Regan coached since retiring as a player and managed Baltimore in 1995, when Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games record. He has a simple philosophy: “You keep doing it, keep doing it day after day. … I think Jim Kaat said you’ll rust out before you wear out, so it’s probably true.” �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, April 9, 2017 3B Cleveland hitting stride Tony Dejak | AP Atlanta Hawks’ Mike Muscala, bottom, drives to the basket against Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James, top, and Kyle Korver, right, in the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday in Cleveland. Hawks stun champion Cavaliers, 114-100 CLEVELAND (AP) — Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter as the Atlanta Hawks, despite resting center Dwight Howard and missing three other key starters, stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers 114-100 on Friday night. The Hawks, who beat Boston on Thursday night, outworked and outgunned the defending NBA champions, who blew a chance to move closer to securing the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a ﬂat performance. Mike Dunleavy added 20 for Atlanta and got a little revenge against the Cavs, who tossed him in as part of a trade for Kyle Korver in February. The Hawks recorded 39 assists. It was a shocking letdown by the Cavs, who were so impressive in a win over the Celtics on Wednesday night. But they lacked energy from the outset and the Hawks took advantage with their second straight victory, moving a game ahead of Milwaukee for ﬁfth place in the East. LeBron James scored 27 and Kyrie Irving 18 for Cleveland, which was in a funk for most of the night but took an 87-85 lead in the fourth on a 3-pointer by Korver. Hardaway took over from there. Although he was listed as questionable before the game with knee and wrist injuries, Hardaway played anyway and down the stretch he buried a pair of 3-pointers and delivered a vicious dunk during a 12-0 run when the Hawks put it away, shocking a sellout crowd hoping to see the Cavs move closer to locking down homecourt advantage in the East. Cleveland was again without starting center Tristan Thompson, who missed his second straight game with a sprained thumb. bruise) aren’t ready to play in consecutive games as they recover from injuries. … G/F Thabo Sefolosha announced he’ll make a donation from his court settlement after breaking his leg in a fracas outside a Manhattan nightclub in 2015.

Cavaliers: Coach Tyronn Lue plans to rest James and Irving for the playoffs if the Cavs clinch the No. 1 seed. “If we can take care of business like we’re supposed to, I think that we’d like LeBron and Kyrie to get some rest,” Lue said. “I think J.R.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Back from Boston, Kevin Love spent part of his day off talking to kids about ﬁtness. The topic was appropriate. The Cavaliers look in much better shape. With four straight wins, including a 114-91 walkover against the Celtics to wrestle back control atop the Eastern Conference, the Cavs may be gelling just in time for the NBA playoffs and a run at a second straight title. Less than a week after Cleveland lost three straight and ﬁve of seven, and just days following a heated exchange between LeBron James and Tristan Thompson that seemed to tear at the team’s fabric and prompted questions about the champions’ chemistry, all seems to be right with the closest thing the league has to a dayand-night time soap opera. “We thrive under chaos,” Love said Thursday. “We always do.” True, there’s rarely a dull moment in Cleveland, where every game seems to take the importance of a season, and where the city’s hoop team is anatomized daily like a frog being dissected in a high school science lab. Now in his third season, Love has gotten used to the spotlight that comes with playing alongside James, but the All-Star forward acknowledged there have been long stretches this season where the Cavs haven’t been as focused as needed. The criticism, he said, has some merit. They’ve been the coasting Cavs, guilty of taking teams lightly and taking time off. “It seems like there are times during the season — and it could be true — where we just say, ‘the regular season is no big deal,’” Love said, relaxing in a quiet room before he spoke with hundreds of school kids at an area Boys & Girls Club. “But l think last night and in the third quarter (on Tuesday) against Orlando, our pace of play and defensively, how we were moving and how we were communicating was so much better.” The Cavaliers showed no mercy on the Celtics, demolishing the East’s No. 2 team on its famed parquet ﬂoor from opening tip to ﬁnal horn. It was easily one of Cleveland’s most com- plete games this season, and while James insisted it wasn’t meant to send an external message, Love felt the victory resonated inside Cleveland’s locker room. “We weren’t overly invested in that game last night thinking we had to win, that this is the biggest game,” he said. “But we looked at it as a great challenge for us and it was an opportunity for us to go in there against a team that’s tied with us for ﬁrst place, and playing on a back-to-back, which we haven’t had a good record in all year and we wanted to play good basketball and we did that.” Love acknowledged the team has been plagued by a championship “hangover” that manifests itself in short losing streaks and a general nonchalance. Groggy and aimless for months, the Cavs may have ﬁnally found the cure. “I don’t know when that hits throughout the season, but March wasn’t pretty for us,” he said, recalling a 7-10 month. “But at the end of the day, we’re hoping to look back and say that was a lesson for us and that we can’t let that happen again.” With four games left in the regular season, it’s time for the Cavs to hit their stride. However, a season ﬁlled with injuries has a new one as Thompson, the team’s only true center, is out with a sprained right thumb. Thompson will also miss Friday’s home game against Atlanta, and there’s a chance he’ll be held out a few more so he’s ready as possible for the postseason. Love stepped up with Thompson out and grabbed 16 rebounds against the Celtics. He was still feeling the effects a day later, but after delivering a $10,000 check on behalf of Foot Locker to an area club for winning a ﬁtness contest, he still spent time showing the kids his skills and posing for selﬁes. Things are about to get serious again as the Cavs attempt to reach their third straight Finals, and perhaps another meeting with Golden State. That might be a heavy burden for some teams, but not one that rallied from a 3-1 deﬁcit to end Cleveland’s 52-year title drought. NEW YORK (AP) — Charlotte will be eligible to host the 2019 All-Star Game after a compromise deal to replace a North Carolina law that limited antidiscrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Friday. The league’s Board of Governors discussed it during their meetings this week and made what Silver said was “not an easy decision.” He says it’s “not a done deal” that Charlotte will get the game, because the league would need assurances of anti-discriminatory policies for venues that would host its events and hotels they would use. But Silver said it is his “expectation” that Charlotte would get the game if those assurances were met. He said those requirements would need to be met within the next month or so. Charlotte was scheduled to host the game this year, but the NBA pulled it over its objection to the law known as the “bathroom bill.” The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority estimated the yanked event would have generated about $100 million in economic impact. That was part of more than $3.76 billion over a dozen years in lost business as a consequence of HB2, an Associated Press analysis found. Gay-rights advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union have denounced North Carolina legislation passed last week to undo HB2 as inadequate. The mayors of New York, Washington, San Francisco, Seattle, Salt Lake City and other cities announced this week that previous municipal bans on taxpayer-funded travel to North Carolina will stay in place because discrimination persists in the replacement law. The measure left some LGBT restrictions in place, including a moratorium until December 2020 on local governments passing broad nondiscrimination ordinances covering sexual orientation and gender identity. While the new law ended the HB2 provision requiring transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding to their birth certiﬁcates, state lawmakers remain in charge of future bathroom policies. 60712582 NBA says Charlotte is eligible to host 2019 All-Star Game �SPORTS 4B Sunday, April 9, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Patience key to building of Blue Jackets COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Blue Jackets brass thought they had assembled a playoffcaliber team last season. They continued to believe it even after Columbus started 0-8 and ﬁnished in the Metropolitan Division basement. Team President John Davidson was as shocked as anyone by the result, but he urged everyone to be patient. He and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen stuck to their blueprint for a contending team built through years of promising draft picks and strategic trades for upand-comers and veteran grinders, staying well below the salary cap. The patience has paid off: Picked by most analysts to ﬁnish near the bottom again, the Blue Jackets shattered franchise records for wins and points, and will be in the Stanley Cup playoffs that begin next week. They lack a superstar goal-scorer like Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby or Chicago’s Patrick Kane but have found the right combination of veterans, dynamic rookies, reliable role-players and an elite goaltender in Sergei Bobrovsky, who is a Vezina Trophy candidate again after overcoming a series of injuries. “You know sometimes you take a step backward? That was like taking ﬁve Jay LaPrete | AP Columbus Blue Jackets’ Brandon Saad celebrates his goal against the Minnesota Wild during the third period of a March 2 NHL hockey game in Columbus, Ohio. The patience has paid off: Picked by most analysts to finish near the bottom again, the Blue Jackets shattered franchise records for wins and points, and will be in the Stanley Cup playoffs that begin next week. steps backward, and it was very painful for the whole organization,” said Davidson, a former player and broadcaster who had taken on a rebuilding project in St. Louis before coming to Columbus in 2012. “So you have to not get caught up in making goofy deals that really are short-term,” he said. “You really have to do things that are still within the parameters of your game plan and let everybody else voice (their) opinions.” There were apologies to the long-suffering fans last offseason, but no panic. No blockbuster trades, no headline-grabbing, free-agent signings. The core of the team that ﬁnished 34-40-8 was left intact, complemented with a group of hot rookies that led the team’s AHL afﬁliate in Cleveland to a Calder Cup championship. John Tortorella, the irascible coach hired after last season’s ﬂailing start, was given another season to imprint his driven, no-nonsense culture. “On paper, we all thought we were going to do something last year,” said 27-year-old winger Matt Calvert, the team’s longest-tenured player at seven seasons. “This year, within the ﬁrst month and a half of the season, that’s when we really started seeing what we could do. We started winning games, we started feeling good about ourselves. You’ve seen guys step into roles they’ve never been in before and excelling.” A franchise-record 16-game winning streak from Nov. 29 to Jan. 5 grabbed attention and energized fans in Columbus. Average attendance for all home dates this year is tracking back up after a steady decline beginning in the mid2000s. The 15,800 average is the best since the 2006-07 season. The core of the current Blue Jackets began to take shape around the time the organization’s ﬁrst superstar was traded away. Rick Nash, the captain and face of the expansion team throughout the 2000s, helped win over college football-obsessed fans in central Ohio to big-time hockey. But he was tired of losing and wanted a change. He was traded to the New York Rangers in July 2012 in a ﬁve-player deal that brought stalwart center Brandon Dubinsky to Columbus. The Blue Jackets also acquired Bobrovsky from Philadelphia for draft choices, and Nick Foligno — now a top-line winger and the Blue Jackets captain — came over in a deal with Ottawa. The experienced players, along with draft picks Cam Atkinson, Calvert and David Savard, took the Blue Jackets to the playoffs as a wildcard in 2014. They won the ﬁrst playoff games in franchise history but lost the opening series to Pittsburgh, also their ﬁrst-round opponent next week. The summer of 2015 brought 22-year-old Brandon Saad, a key player in Chicago’s Stanley Cup run the previous season, to Columbus in a surprising trade. Calvert called it a turning point. “He had playoff experience,” Calvert said. “He was a young guy who added some skill to our lineup. I think that was a big thing we needed.” Another key piece was added in January 2016 when the Blue Jackets shipped fan favorite Ryan Johansen to Nashville in exchange for defenseman Seth Jones. The pairing of the 22-year-old Jones with 19-year-old rookie Zach Werenski, the eighth overall pick in the 2015 draft, has given Columbus one of the league’s best defensive tandems. Top contributors Boone Jenner, Lukas Sedlak, Josh Anderson, Alexander Wennberg and Markus Nutivaara were draft picks developed in the minors. One of the last puzzle pieces was Sam Gagner, who signed a one-year free agent contract last summer for a bargainbasement $650,000 and then had one of best seasons of his 10-year NHL career. “It’s not like other sports where you draft and players immediately play for you,” Davidson said. “It’s a terrible word in a lot of ways, but patience has to be the strength of the organization when you’re building.” Wichita State leaving MVC for AAC By Pat Eaton-Robb “Here we go!,” the school tweeted in announcing its decision The AAC currently has Wichita State accepted 12 members for football: an invitation Friday to UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, join the American Athletic Conference, ending East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, Navy, SMU, a relationship with the South Florida, Temple, Missouri Valley ConferTulane and Tulsa.

Its current contracts with ESPN run out after the 2019 football season and 2019-20 basketball campaigns. The move could also help both the conference and the Shockers when it comes to seeding in basketball for the NCAA Tournament. Wichita State received just a 10 seed in this year’s tournament, despite a 30-4 record — the fourth time in ﬁve years the Shockers have had at least 30 wins. They ended up losing in the second round to Kentucky, 65-62, in one of the tournament’s best games. The AAC, meanwhile, got just two bids into the tournament. Both confer- sity,” he said. Bardo said the decision also puts any thoughts of the school returning to football, which it stopped playing in 1986, on a back burner. “This is as big a deal as we could possibly have had, and now is the time to focus on it,” he said. The Missouri Valley Conference said the departure represents another stage in the evolution of the league. Creighton left the league for the Big East in 2013. “The Valley has always been resilient and progressive in the face of these changes, and we have never been deﬁned by a single institution,” the league said in a statement. Because it did not give the required twoyear notice for leaving the MVC, Wichita State will have to forfeit its share this year’s conference revenue distribution. Aresco said having 12 members in all sports will make scheduling easier for the AAC, bit added there are no plans to divide the league into two basketball divisions. He said a 12-team league also makes future expansion easier. But the league, he said, does not want to get into a situation where it has multiple schools that do not participate in one of its major sports, noting that was a reason for the troubles that broke up the old Big East. He said the AAC is not currently in negotiations with any other school. “We’re done for now,” he said.

Groce guided Ohio to who stunned the school a pair of MAC titles and by accepting the job at two NCAA appearances, including a run to the Sweet 16 in 2012. While he was at Ohio, Groce developed a rivalry with Akron. He’s now on the other side of the fence. “I like to compete,” he said. “Obviously I know the background of the league, not only from the last time I was in it, but even before that. I’m fully aware that there are teams getting better. We love that challenge. I’m more worried about what Akron is doing.” Akron made three NCAA trips under Dambrot, but the school went 0-3 and was overlooked other years for atlarge bids despite strong resumes. Groce’s 4-3 record in NCAA games is only part of what made him appealing to Akron. “We wanted to get someone who had that experience (at Division I), who had the appetite for success and excellence, a proven track record in the regular season, accomplishments in the postseason, as well,” school president Matthew Wilson said. “We were looking for someone who would help foster academic success, because that’s what we are as part of the University of Akron. We’re about students and that includes our studentathletes and the academic success we need to bring as well.” The Zips are counting on some of Groce’s Ohio connections to help in recruiting. He was on Thad Matta’s staff at Ohio State from 2005-08, and before that with the Buckeyes coach for three years at Xavier and one at Butler. �CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Pictures that have been placed in ads at the Gallipolis Daily Tribune must be picked within 30 days.

And, they carried that momentum into the eight-nation tournament by dominating the competition until their rivals pushed them into OT. The U.S. was the better team in the end, though, creating lots of scoring chances in the sudden-death period that could have lasted up to 20 minutes. It didn’t need that much time to ﬁnish the Canadians off with a second straight OT victory in a world championship gold-medal game. Knight, who made a no-look, between-the leg pass to set up Bellamy’s second goal, was trailing on a 3-on-2 rush when Coyne dropped a pass to her and she scored from the inside of the left circle. “The coaching staff that they have is unbelievable,” Hood said. “Their head coach (Cary Kolat) From page 1B was an Olympian, he’s a great guy and he brought Cassady Willford, who in a bunch of guys around has been the MHS head him like that.

I’m hoping I can break out of that this season, and continue to move forward throughout my college years,” she said. In addition to distance events, Watts said she plans to run the steeplechase at Otterbein. Indeed, it’s just another of the opportunities Otterbein has to offer her, as she continues to run —and continues the family tradition. Speaking of which, she thanked her parents and her family for their unwavering and longtime support, as well as that of her coaches and teammates. “It’s been a great experience for the past four years of high school, but I’m really excited about Otterbein and the opportunities there,” said Watts. ﬁnishes, including the runner-up four times by less than a half-second.

Local students visit with state Supreme Court Justice By Morgan McKinniss mmckinniss@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL — It is a special day in Gallia County when a state level ofﬁcial visits, even more so when it’s a Justice from the Ohio Supreme Court. Justice Judith French came to Gallia County on Friday to speak at River Valley High School to students about the nature of the justice system in Ohio and to answer the many questions they had for her. The students present were AP students in English and government, AP being the advanced placement courses. Many of the students are also involved in Mock Trial, an extra curricular program designed to expose students to the legal system in a positive way and develop personal skills such as public speaking, debating, and resolve of character. “Through the legal advice and teachings of Attorney Adam Salisbury, students learn about law, court procedures, historic court cases, and debate,” Cindy Graham, teacher at RVHS said, when explaining Mock Trial. “This program is an academic bargain. In today’s age, teachers must be efﬁcient, and Mock Trial is one of those tools.” She also pointed out a long list of graduates from River Valley who have had successful careers, all of which participated in the Mock Trial program. Many of those students now have multiple degrees along with bright careers in law, education, and medicine. Justice French was quick to point out that Mock Trial Director Cindy Graham introduces Justice French. RVHS’ Mock Trial program is exceptional. “It is amazing that a school of this size has ﬁve teams.” The level of success comes from dedicated and efﬁcient teachers and administrators. The students had questions prepared; ranging from technical aspects of the legal system and trial law, to asking for advice in career choices. Several students have interest in the legal ﬁeld and asked many questions about French’s path to being a judge. She explained how her path was not a straight one, winding through various organizations and corporations practicing various kinds of law. The students were very excited to have a Supreme Court Justice speak with them. One query that was peculiar was about the strangest case French had presided over; a sewage line explosion in an animal rendering plant. Mock Trial coordinator, and founder of the program at RVHS Graham, has taken trial students to Columbus to witness the Supreme Court in action annually for four years now, which led to this speciﬁc event. Those previous interactions made the connection between See TRIAL | 4C Justice French discussing the Ohio Judicial system with RVHS students. �ALONG THE RIVER 2C Sunday, April 9, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS Putting it all together Discarded needles Quilts ‘N Things donates to 4-H dining hall efforts pose health risk to public for free or for a Unfortunately, nominal fee. there are reports �J^[h[�Wh[� across the United ‘mail back’ proStates of sanitagrams that sell tion workers being sharps disposal stuck by discarded supplies and the needles and return packaging. developing severe Steve Once the sharps diseases such as Swatzel Hepatitis B, Hepa- Contributing container is full the individual titis C, tetanus, columnist would seal the syphilis and HIV/ container, place it AIDS. in the pre-labeled postIt is not just sanitaage-paid mailing box and tion workers who are drop it in the mail. at risk of needle sticks �Iec[�^eif_jWbi�m_bb� - it is also your neightake sharps wastes genbors, children, janitors, erated by an individual housekeepers and pets. under their care and Considering the high number of needle use in supervision. �I^Whfi�YWd�X[� the country, health agenincluded along with cies are highly focused household garbage on educating the public about proper needle dis- IF the container is posal.

French has a special interest in the youth and education, and made this trip to speak with the students. “One of my top priorities is civic education. I went to a small town public school, my mom was a school teacher and I had a lot of great role models that were teachers,” French stated. When talking to the students she explained in detail how important education was in her development and career. She went to a high school very much like River Valley, and is an example of how to take advantage of the resources available. French stressed the importance of knowing one’s self in order to succeed. “One way I was able to shoot so high was knowing what I wanted to do. I knew what my interests were, so I followed those,” she explained. French told the students that, based on her interests she wanted to either be a journalist or work in government. Her undergraduate work consisted of a degree in political science, but her masters’ work was in history. She excelled much more in the latter, because she enjoyed it that much more; illustrating the beneﬁt of doing what you are passionate about. “Outside of the courtroom, I think this is one of the most important things I can do as an individual justice; is to come and talk about what we do and why it’s important to the students,” said French. She explained the need for the general public to know what the Ohio Photos by Morgan McKinniss | OVP Justice Judith French answering questions with River Valley students. Supreme Court does, and that it affects citizens’ everyday lives. French has been a judge for 12 years, and on the Supreme Court for four.
