Meigs County Sheriff’s Office has adopted and implemented state standards established by the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board as part of the state’s efforts to strengthen community and police relations, and therefore has been awarded the state certification. More than 500 agencies employing over 27,000 officers (in all 88 counties, representing 80 percent of all law enforcement officers in Ohio and most of Ohio’s metropolitan departments) are either certified or in the process of becoming certified by meeting standards for the use of force, including deadly force, and agency recruitment and hiring, according to a news release from the Ohio Department of Public Safety. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood told the Sentinel that his office had been working toward the certification for the past several months, and he was pleased to have the certification in place.

Airlines pushing back on talk of banning overbooking DALLAS (AP) — With the federal government and a Senate committee looking into the dragging of a man off a United Express flight, the airline industry is beginning to speak up against any effort to bar them from overselling flights. The CEO of Delta Air Lines called overbooking “a valid business process.” “I don’t think we need to have additional legislation to try to control how the airlines run their businesses,” Ed Bastian said Wednesday. “The key is managing it before you get to the boarding process.” Federal rules allow airlines to sell more tickets than they have seats, and airlines do it routinely because they assume some passengers won’t show up. The practice lets airlines keep fares low while managing the rate of noshows on any particular route, said Vaughn Jennings, spokesman for Airlines for America, which represents most of the big U.S. carriers. He said that plane seats are perishable commodities — once the door has been closed, seats on a flight can’t be sold and lose all value. Bumping is rare — only about one in 16,000 passengers got bumped last year, the lowest rate since at least the mid-1990s. But it angers and frustrates customers who see their travel plans wrecked in an instant. Bumping is not limited to flights that are oversold. It can happen if the plane is overweight or air marshals need a seat. Sometimes it happens because the airline needs room for employees who are commuting to work on another flight — that’s what happened Sunday on United Express. Flight 3411 was sold out — passengers had boarded, and every seat was filled — when the airline discovered that it needed to find room for four crew members. That eventually led to the video everybody has seen — a 69-year-old man being dragged off the plane by security officers after refusing to give up his seat. In a series of three statements and an interview, United CEO Oscar Munoz became increasingly contrite. On Wednesday, he told ABC-TV that he would fix United’s policies and that United will no longer call on police to remove passengers from full flights. Politicians have jumped on the public outrage. On Wednesday, 21 Senate Democrats demanded a more-detailed account of the incident from Munoz. A day earlier, the top four members of the Senate Commerce Committee asked Munoz and Chicago airport officials for an explanation. “The last thing a paying airline passenger should expect is a physical altercation with law enforcement personnel after boarding,” said the committee members, two Republicans and two Democrats. They asked Munoz about his airline’s policy for bumping passengers, and whether it makes a difference that passengers have already boarded the plane. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., asked the U.S. Department of Transportation to analyze “the problem of overbooking passengers throughout the industry.” He said was working on legislation to increase passengers’ rights. The Transportation Department said it is investigating the incident to determine if United violated consumer-protection or civil-rights laws. It gave few details. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday that he asked the Trump administration to suspend airlines’ ability to overbook flights. Christie, a Republican, said bumping passengers off flights is “unconscionable.” United is the dominant carrier at New Jersey’s largest airport, which is in Newark. Federal rules require that before airlines can bump passengers from a flight they must seek volunteers — the carri- ers generally offer travel vouchers. That usually works — of the 475,000 people who lost a seat last year, more than 90 percent did so voluntarily, according to government figures. United said, however, that when it asked for volunteers Sunday night, there were no takers. United acknowledged that passengers may have been less willing to listen to offers once they were seated on the plane. “Ideally those conversations happen in the gate area,” said United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy. Airlines are supposed to have rules that determine who gets bumped if it comes to that. United’s rules, called a contract of carriage, say this may be decided by the passenger’s fare class — how much they paid — their itinerary, status in United’s frequent-flyer program, and check-in time. United has not said precisely how the four people asked to leave Flight 3411 were selected. United bumps passengers less often than average among U.S. carriers. In 2016, it bumped 3,765 passengers, or one in every 23,000. Passengers were twice as likely to get bumped from Southwest Airlines. Hawaiian, Delta and Virgin America were the least likely to bump a passenger against his will. Crowell honored for work with community foundation of Mason Staff Report Christy Crowell, executive director for the Community Foundation Of Mason County, was recently recognized as being in “Generation Next 40 Under 40.” The State Journal has been recognizing and honoring young professionals throughout West Virginia as part of “Generation Next: 40 Under 40” for the past 12 years. Each year, the award reminds that success and happiness can be found and made within the Mountain State’s borders. They are attorneys, nonprofit executives, teachers, entrepreneurs and bankers. They are fundraisers and volunteers. They are native and adoptive West Virginians who give their time and talents to their communities to make things better. “I was shocked and flattered when I received notice that I was selected to receive this prestigious award,” Crowell said. “Being selected as one of this year’s State Journal’s Generation Next 40 Under 40 award recipients is quite an honor. I am glad to have been selected and glad that I was able to attend the reception in Morgantown and do what I do best- talk about the Community Foundation and what we do.” Farmers dismayed that USDA delays fair practice rule DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A rule designed to protect the legal rights of farmers who grow chickens and hogs for the nation’s largest meat processing corporations, was delayed Wednesday by President Donald Trump’s administration, halting by at least six months an initiative rolled out by President Barack Obama in his final days in office. The rule was first proposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2010 but was met with resistance in Congress and by the meat processing industry. It was delayed until the USDA released it in December. Scheduled to go into effect on April 22, the rule would make it easier for farmers to sue companies they contract with over unfair, discriminatory or deceptive practices. Currently, several court rulings have interpreted federal law as saying a farmer must prove a company’s actions harm competition in the entire industry before a lawsuit can move forward. The rule eases that high burden of proof. For years some chicken growers who enter longterm contracts with companies like Tyson Foods and Pilgrim’s Pride have alleged the industry locks them into deals that fix their compensation at unprofitably low levels and forces them deeply into debt. Alton Terry lost a federal lawsuit against Tyson Farms in 2010 after his contract to raise chickens was cancelled. He said it was canceled because he tried or organize farmers to protest company practices. He ended up filing for bankruptcy. He said many rural farmers voted for Trump believing his pledge to drain the swamp in Washington of special interests would help them. They were counting on him to approve the new rule, he said. “There was hope that something would get done and now we see that getting him in, we’re having the same old story,” Terry said. “The swamp creatures are collecting larger paychecks. Where’s the draining part?” Genell Pridgen of Snow Hill, North Carolina, stopped contracting with the meat companies after 18 years and now runs her family farm independently. She fears the rule will be killed. “It’s very disheartening,” said Pridgen, a Trump voter. “It’s really an injustice for farmers who’ve been waiting for many years.” Many farmers hope Trump’s nominee for agriculture secretary, former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, will act on their behalf, said Sally Lee, program director at the North Carolina-based Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA, a nonprofit family farm advocacy group.

Remarkably bad. The precise opposite of “very good.” Clownlike. And not one of those good clowns who shows a sincere passion for his craft, but a very bad, terrible clown — the kind who shows up drunk at a kid’s birthday party and starts bending balloons into dirty shapes. When your company’s week begins with a viral video showing a paying customer ripped from his seat, bloodied and dragged along the aisle of one of your aircraft, you’d think it couldn’t get worse. But for United, it did, in large part because the company seemed incapable of grasping the unique awfulness of the situation. It was as if company leaders dug themselves a nice deep hole and then thought, “Well, perhaps if we keep digging we’ll eventually reach the top.” When passenger David Dao was told he was being bumped off a United Express flight Sunday night to make room for a flight crew that needed to get from O’Hare International Airport to Louisville, Ky., he refused to leave. He said he needed to get home. After Dao was forcibly removed by security officers with the city’s Aviation Department, video of him being yanked out of his seat went viral. The story should have ended there — quickly. But United CEO Oscar Munoz issued a lame, unapologetic statement Monday afternoon, followed by another lame, unapologetic letter to employees Monday night, followed — finally — by a statement Tuesday that offered an apology and then an even more sincere but too-littletoo-late apology on Wednesday’s “Good Morning America.” While United’s stock was dropping and people around the world were eviscerating the company on Twitter, Dao was in a Chicago hospital recovering from his injuries and following the advice of a personal injury lawyer who must feel like he just won the lottery. There’s plenty of blame to go around for this colossal mess-up, but Munoz is the one in charge. Fortunately for him, I have a soft spot in my heart for Chicago-based companies, so I’m going to provide the CEO with the one and only statement that might help him salvage his company’s reputation and quash the understandable outrage. Mr. Munoz, copy this text, put your name on the bottom and send it out. Trust me, it’s your best shot: “Wow. I mean, wow. I screwed this up so bad I can’t even believe it. Everyone’s railing against United Airlines, but I’m the boss, and at the end of the day, this is on me. And holy Moses did I bungle it. We pulled a dude off a plane! What the hell was that? His mouth got bashed and these security lugs used his limp body to smooth out the carpet in the aisle of the aircraft! Holy mother of God that was bad. And mean. Honestly, I don’t know what anyone was thinking. I watched the video and even I was mad at United. AND I RUN THE PLACE!! Offer the guy more money, find another volunteer. Heck, rent the flight crew a limo and drive them to Louisville. Do anything; just don’t use a passenger’s face to test the sturdiness of the jet’s armrests. Good freakin’ grief. So this thing goes viral and what do I do? I put out a statement saying we had to ‘reaccommodate’ some passengers. Re-accommodate? Where did I get that nonsense from? I don’t even know what that words means. I don’t even think that’s a word, for Pete’s sake! I just got done mocking those idiots at Pepsi for their wacko Kendall Jenner/Black Lives Matter commercial, and what do I do? Something even stupider. That made everybody even madder at us, so what does Mr. Big-Shot CEO, Mr. MBA, Mr. Look-at-me-I’m-thesmartest-guy-in-theroom do? I send a letter to my employees calling the customer we roughed up ‘disruptive and belligerent.’ And I don’t apologize. Because, apparently, I’m a knucklehead. More trouble follows, stock prices drop and finally — finally! — it dawns on yours truly that an apology might be in order. So I offer one, but if we’re being honest, it still kind of sucked. Too cautious. Too CYA, if you know what I mean. So here I am. Being 100 percent straight. No more B.S. I apologize, on behalf of myself and my company and whoever the meatheads were who hauled off one of our customers like a used mattress. We screwed up at every level, and then we screwed up some more and, just to See UNITED | 5 THEIR VIEW The bell tolled, and ‘America first’ took backseat By Reg Henry Contributing columnist I know a guy called Bob. Who is Bob, you ask? Bob is the typical man in the street. He bobs up everywhere. But why is the Bob I know of interest? Because he has decided to follow the Bob First policy. The Bob First policy is modeled after the America First policy, which is central to the leadership of a certain person in the White House. As Bob thinks America First is a swell operating principle for the nation, it seemed logical to him to put selfinterest at the center of his own personal life. Could his experience with the Bob First policy have a lesson for us all? Some would call this absurd, but that snubs the populist impulse to bring complicated government problems down to the scale of the average person, the better to explain political stupidity in simple terms. Consider the topic of deficits and the national debt, which require the federal government to borrow more and more money. People like Bob often say: If my family borrowed money like the government, we would be in the poor house. Yes, that’s why Bob and his Bob First policy can be instructive. The analogy is elastic. So how is the policy working out for Bob? Alas, not so good. He is in trouble with everybody he knows, starting with his wife. Since Bob instituted the policy of putting himself first, he no longer feels obligated to fulfill the “honey do” list that is a married man’s burden. He won’t pick up the dry cleaning for his wife, take out the trash or sweep the sidewalk. If she has her sister over for dinner, he doesn’t wait for anybody else to be served but grabs the food first and starts eating first, as his policy dictates. He threatens to start charging her rent to live in the house. His friends are not happy either. He always grabs the prime spot on the couch when they watch a football game on TV — and he eats all the potato chips and won’t fetch anyone a beer. When he plays golf, Bob always hits the ball first and to heck with the etiquette. Bob follows a policy which is all about Bob. As a result, Bob finds he has fewer friends these days. I know a guy named Donald. Who is Donald, you ask? He is the guy in the White House. I don’t know him personally but he is everywhere, even more ubiquitous than Bob it seems. And as Bob goes, so goes the president. How is his America First policy working out for him? Alas, not so good. It has had the effect of making America’s oldest friends concerned, exasperated and sometimes angry. He seems to think the rest of the world exists only to make deals favorable to America. He wants them to bow the knee and pay up. Every nation operates on the basis of its selfinterest; it’s only natural. The problem with Bob and the president is that they have forgotten a basic truth that is common to the religions whose holy days we are in the midst of celebrating: In our dealings with mankind, it is not all about us. The great English poet John Donne said it 400 years ago. “No man is an island, / entire of itself; / every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” He went on: “Any man’s death diminishes me, / because I am involved in mankind, / and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; / it tolls for thee.” The other day a bell tolled — well, it was probably the anthem of the nightly news — and amazingly this blunderbuss of a president heard it and understood what it meant. America had not been attacked but innocent people in Syria, including babies, had See BELL | 5 THEIR VIEW The War on Drugs is back By Leonard Pitts Jr. Contributing columnist Looks like the War on Drugs is back. The Washington Post reported Sunday that the new attorney general, Jeff Sessions, is preparing a return to the same hardline strategies that have so spectacularly failed to reduce drug use since 1971. Indeed, the nation has spent more than a trillion dollars, made itself the biggest jailer on the planet and yet seen the use, availability and quality of drugs rise like a rocket from a launch pad while the cost dropped like a watermelon from a skyscraper. That’s why it was welcome news when President Obama quietly dismantled much of the machinery of the drug war. His Department of Justice radically scaled back federal involvement in so-called “civil asset forfeitures,” a program wherein police confiscate your cash and require you to prove it’s not drug money before you can get it back. The Obama DOJ looked the other way as states liberalized marijuana laws. It also extended clemency to incarcerated nonviolent drug offenders and declined to seek harsh mandatory minimum sentences for the ones facing trial. It made sense, so it couldn’t last. Back in February, Donald Trump himself announced that there would be a new drug war and it would be “ruthless.” Leaving aside that the old drug war was hardly ice cream and roses, there is no reason to believe being more “ruthless” will help. After all, you can be beheaded for drug-related offenses in Saudi Arabia. Yet the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports that in 2008 — the most recent year for which statistics seem to be available — the Saudis seized 12.8 tons of amphetamines. So much for ruthless. There is a reason the 18th Amendment, the one outlawing liquor, was the only one ever repealed: Prohibition doesn’t work. You cannot arrest people out of wanting what is bad for them. But, as we’ve seen with liquor and tobacco, you might be able to educate, legislate and persuade them into wanting it less. Diane Goldstein, a retired lieutenant commander with the Redondo Beach Police Department, calls the new drug war “a horrible idea.” Goldstein is an executive board member of Law Enforcement Action Partnership, a group of law enforcement veterans who think that in asking police to solve a medical problem, we’ve made a costly mistake. She cites a 1994 Rand Corporation study which said that using healthcare strategies to combat drugs “returns seven times the value for every dollar spent on it to the taxpayer. Shouldn’t we be looking at what is not just cost effective, but also returns better results for people who are impacted by chronic substance abuse?” Problem is, that wouldn’t allow some of us to brag how “ruthless” they are. African Americans, who have been locked up at obscene rates, even though whites are the nation’s biggest users and sellers of drugs, should regard this new “war” as a clear and present danger. Pot users of all colors “You cannot arrest people out of wanting what is bad for them.” in states where marijuana is now legal should feel the same; from now on, the feds will no longer be looking the other way. They, and anyone else who is appalled by this, should tell that to the attorney general. You’ll find an online contact form at: https:// www.justice.gov/doj/ webform/your-messagedepartment-justice.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Organizers protesting the Cleveland Indians’ use of the Chief Wahoo logo have asked to be involved in talks with Major League Baseball about changes to the contentious symbol. A group asking the Indians to abolish the red-faced, smiling logo and their nickname gathered outside Progressive Field on Tuesday before the club’s home opener against the Chicago White Sox. Carrying signs that read “Racism Honors No One” and “Real People Not Mascots,” the protesters peacefully voiced their opinions as police looked on. The movement to replace the Wahoo logo has gained momentum in recent years. The Indians have reduced its usage, but the logo, which has been part of the team’s history for more than 60 years, still appears on some of Cleveland’s game caps and jerseys. The Indians have had talks with MLB about further changes. Commissioner Rob Manfred said during the World Series that he knows “that that particular logo is offensive to some people, and all of us at Major League Baseball understand why.” Philip Yenyo, executive director of the American Indian Movement of Ohio, said he has been encouraged by the Indians’ openness to address the issue, but he wants more. Yenyo and his group have opposed the team using the logo for profit. He said he has reached out to baseball officials about being involved in any future discussions but has not heard back. “It’s time that we as brothers sit down at the table and talk,” he said. Manfred spoke with Indians owner Paul Dolan when he visited Cleveland earlier this year, and there are plans for more talks. “Major League Baseball is aware of and has spoken to a number of groups with concerns regarding Chief Wahoo,” the league said in a statement. “We are currently in the midst of private discussions with the Cleveland Indians regarding the issue.” Yenyo has been encouraged by the Indians’ willingness to address the matter.

The Southern softball team earned its first winning streak of the season in convincing fashion Tuesday night following a 17-2 victory over host South Gallia in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The Lady Tornadoes (4-4, 4-2 TVC Hocking) led only 1-0 through an inning of play, but the guests ultimately plated the first 17 runs of the game en route to a sizable 17-0 cushion midway through the third. The Lady Rebels (0-7, 0-5) countered with two runs in their half of the third to close to within 15 runs, but inclement weather followed shortly thereafter and the game ended up being called. Both coaches also agreed that the game was over and is official, therefore the final two innings will not be made up. Jaiden Roberts led the game off with a single, stole second and third and eventually came home with what would be the game-winning run as Lauren Lavender grounded out — giving the Purple and Gold a 1-0 advantage through one frame. SHS sent 13 batters to the plate in the second, which yielded eight runs on four hits, four walks, a hit batter and an error — making it a 9-0 contest after two complete. The guests sent 14 more batters to the plate in the third, which led to eight runs on six walks, two hits and two hit batters en route to a 17-0 edge midway through the third. Keirsten Howell started the home half of the third with a one-out single and advanced to third on a two-out single by Olivia Hornsby. Mandy Swords walked to load the bases, then both Howell and Hornsby scored on an error that allowed Madison Lucas to reach safely for a 17-2 contest. Southern outhit the hosts by a 7-2 overall margin and both teams committed one error apiece in the game. SGHS stranded only two runners on base, while the guests left five on the bags. Sydney Cleland was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two unearned runs, two hits and a walk over three innings while striking out three. Sydney St. Clair took the loss after surrendering 14 runs (12 earned), six hits and six walks over 2.1 frames while fanning one. Roberts and Sydney Cleland led Southern with two hits apiece, followed by Lavender, Shelbi Dailey and Josie Cundiff with a safety each. Roberts drove in a team-high four RBIs and Sydney Cleland knocked in three RBIs.

Bosa could be headed for breakout season By Jim Naveau jnaveau@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS – It’s mysterious – or maybe it should be – why anyone would ever think Nick Bosa would be affected by other people’s expectations. Not after the expectations he grew up with as a Bosa. Not after the ones he’s always had of himself. As his big brother Joey put it after Nick suffered a season-ending ACL injury in his senior season of high school football, “I know he’s going to recover faster than most people because, I guess, he’s a Bosa. That’s the only way to say it.” Joey Bosa became an All-American defensive end in his three seasons at Ohio State and was the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s NFL draft. The Bosa brothers’ dad, John, and their uncle Eric Kumerow were first-round choices in the 1980s. From the time he was a sophomore in high school at Florida football powerhouse Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, recruiting analysts and former OSU standout Cris Carter have said Nick might be the best prospect in his family. Coming off ACL surgery, he had a freshman season at Ohio State that would have been considered notable for most first-year players on a team contending for a national championship when he had five sacks and seven tackles for losses. But, with more competition ahead of him, he didn’t become a full-time starter like Joey, who had 7.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for losses as a freshman in 2013. Ohio State was careful not to rush Bosa during preseason practice and early in the season to make sure his knee was ready for the demands of a long football season. He got his first sack in the season opener against Bowling Green and became a bigger part of the defensive line rotation by early October. With a full spring practice work schedule, Saturday’s spring game at Ohio Stadium, and no restrictions during preseason practice, even bigger things are expected from Bosa in his second season at OSU. “I was healthy last season but I feel like I’ve gotten so much better this spring,” the sophomore defensive end said. “I just want to get better at everything. There’s not one thing I feel I’m weak at. But I feel like I need to up everything I do. And I feel like I have so far,” he said. OSU defensive line coach Larry Johnson compares the two Bosas he has coached this way: “There are some similarities because they’re from the same blood. Joey was a relentless player, he was powerful. Nick is more finesse but he’s just a freshman so we’ll have to see where it goes from here.” He called the younger Bosa “a year ahead in his progression” and said, “Nick probably learned some things earlier than Joey did. He’s done a great job. He is locked in and he will be a pretty good player for us.” Bosa’s natural position, and his favorite, is defensive end. But he was used at times on the interior of the defensive line last fall and both of last season’s starters at defensive end, Tyquan Lewis and Sam Hubbard, are back this season. He will play wherever he’s told to play, but there is no doubt what Bosa prefers. “Outside (defensive end) is where I want to be. It’s where I want to be in the future,” he said. With Lewis, Hubbard, Bosa and Jalyn Holmes, Ohio State has one of the best defensive end groups in the country. Despite that, the Buckeyes only tied for seventh in the Big Ten in sacks last season with 28 of them, down from the 38 they had in 2015. So, getting the quarterback on the ground has been a point of emphasis this spring. “I think if we’re going full speed we’re the best pass rushers in the country,” Bosa said. “Last year we weren’t getting off the ball like we should have. This year I think we’re going to be more of a defensive line oriented team.” Urban Meyer has suggested playing five defensive linemen at the same time as a possible way of using the defensive line talent. “We have five premier (defensive linemen) in my mind – four defensive ends and Dre’Mont Jones. I would like to see all five on the field at one time,” Meyer said. Whether this will be a significant part of OSU’s defense, a sideshow or is just a feint to give opposing teams something to think about remains to be seen. But seeing Bosa putting pressure on opposing offenses appears to be a sure thing this fall. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Penguins hoping to end defending Cup champ hex MLB Baltimore Boston Tampa Bay New York Toronto W 4 4 5 4 1 L 2 3 4 4 6 Detroit Minnesota Cleveland Chicago Kansas City W 6 5 4 2 2 L 2 3 3 4 5 W 6 5 4 2 2 L 2 4 4 5 7 Los Angeles Houston Oakland Texas Seattle ___ New York Washington Miami Philadelphia Atlanta W 5 5 4 3 1 L 3 3 3 5 6 Cincinnati Chicago Pittsburgh Milwaukee St. Louis W 6 5 3 3 2 L 2 2 4 5 6 Arizona Colorado San Diego Los Angeles San Francisco W 7 6 5 4 3 L 2 4 5 4 6 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .667 — — .571 ½ — .556 ½ — .500 1 ½ .143 3½ 3 Central Division Pct GB WCGB .750 — — .625 1 — .571 1½ — .333 3 1½ .286 3½ 2 West Division Pct GB WCGB .750 — — .556 1½ — .500 2 ½ .286 3½ 2 .222 4½ 3 NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .625 — — .625 — — .571 ½ ½ .375 2 2 .143 3½ 3½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .750 — — .714 ½ — .429 2½ 1½ .375 3 2 .250 4 3 West Division Pct GB WCGB .778 — — .600 1½ — .500 2½ 1 .500 2½ 1 .333 4 2½ AMERICAN LEAGUE Tuesday’s Games Detroit 2, Minnesota 1 Cleveland 2, Chicago White Sox 1, 10 innings Milwaukee 4, Toronto 3 Thursday, April 13, 2017 7 L10 4-2 4-3 5-4 4-4 1-6 Str Home L-2 4-1 W-1 3-0 L-2 5-2 W-3 2-0 L-4 0-1 Away 0-1 1-3 0-2 2-4 1-5 L10 6-2 5-3 4-3 2-4 2-5 Str Home W-3 5-1 L-2 3-0 W-1 1-0 L-2 2-3 L-2 0-1 Away 1-1 2-3 3-3 0-1 2-4 L10 6-2 5-4 4-4 2-5 2-7 Str Home W-4 4-0 W-1 4-3 W-1 2-2 L-1 2-4 L-1 1-1 Away 2-2 1-1 2-2 0-1 1-6 L10 5-3 5-3 4-3 3-5 1-6 Str Home W-3 3-3 W-2 4-1 W-1 1-0 L-2 2-3 L-5 0-0 Away 2-0 1-2 3-3 1-2 1-6 L10 6-2 5-2 3-4 3-5 2-6 Str Home W-3 2-1 W-3 1-0 L-2 3-2 W-1 2-5 L-3 2-4 Away 4-1 4-2 0-2 1-0 0-2 L10 7-2 6-4 5-5 4-4 3-6 Str Home W-1 6-1 L-1 3-3 W-1 2-1 L-1 3-1 L-1 1-1 Away 1-1 3-1 3-4 1-3 2-5 Boston 8, Baltimore 1 L.A.

The Point Pleasant girls tennis team had its sixmatch winning streak snapped while also suffering a season sweep at the hands of host Ravenswood on Monday night following a 5-2 non-conference setback in Jackson County. The visiting Lady Knights (8-2) earned an even split in the four singles matches, but the Red Devilettes came away with a trio of wins in the three doubles matches to wrap up the final 5-2 outcome.

Bailey Barnett earned an 8-5 win over Erin Burks in second singles, while Sarah Deem claimed Point’s other victory with an 8-2 decision over Tara Phillips in fourth singles. Olivia Pyles dropped an 8-2 outcome to Grace Weekley in first singles and Danielle Marcum lost an 8-6 decision to Molly McCutcheon in third singles. Weekley and Burks scored an 8-5 win over Pyles and Barnett in first doubles, while McCutcheon and Phillips landed an 8-2 win over Marcum and Deem in second doubles.

Yet it took the Penguins and star Sidney Crosby seven years to provide a bookend moment to that giddy night at Joe Louis Arena, the breakthrough coming in San Jose last June when they closed out the Sharks in six games to capture the franchise’s fourth title. Ten months after that joyous flight back home and the victory parade jammed with half a million fans, Crosby and company are back for more. There are 16 teams alive for the Stanley Cup when the 2017 playoffs begin on Wednesday night. Only one, however, enters as the defending champion. Only one can become the first club since the Red Wings in 1997 and 1998 to capture consecutive Cups. “I think there’s a lot of reasons (it hasn’t happened),” said Crosby, the Conn Smythe winner as playoff MVP last season. “You need so many things to go right. There are so many things you have to overcome. That’s why it’s not easy to do in back to back years.” It’s more likely that things tend to fall apart. Twice since 1998 the reigning Cup champs didn’t even make the playoffs the following season (Carolina in 2007 and the Los Angeles Kings in 2015). Seven times the champs went home after the first round. Only three managed to make it all the way back to the final the next year. “We have to find a way to change that trend,” Crosby said. While the Penguins, Los Angeles and Chicago have created a monopoly on hockey’s most prized possession (winning seven of the last eight Cups), finding the right mix of talent, grit and puck luck to do it in consecutive years is a formula no one has figured out since Steve Yzerman and the Red Wings did it nearly 20 years ago. Yzerman, a Hall of Fame player and currently the general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, can’t quite put a finger on why it hasn’t happened since the Red Wings swept Washington in 1998. “I think (the salary cap) plays a part of it,” Yzerman said. “The timing of contracts coming up and things.” It wasn’t that way back in Yzerman’s prime, when teams could spare no expense to keep their core group together. It’s how Montreal in the 1970s and the New York Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers in the 1980s were able to turn Cup-sipping celebrations into annual rites of spring. Tom Mihalek | AP Columbus Blue Jackets’ Nick Foligno brings the puck out from behind the net during the second period of an NHL hockey game Saturday in Philadelphia. The Flyers won 4-2. Now general managers need creative math, an ability to find the right spare parts to fill in the gaps and a steady hand at the helm. Pittsburgh appeared to be in good shape in 2010, easing by Ottawa in six games in the opening round and taking a 3-2 lead over Montreal in the conference semifinals. Then Canadians goaltender Jaroslav Halak got hot, forward Mike Cammallieri did too and Montreal rallied to win in seven games. If former Red Wings forward Kirk Maltby is being honest, even he’s a little surprised the ‘98 team remains the last to recapture the magic. “I can’t really answer the why because I guess the why really is, it’s extremely difficult to win it one time, let alone back to back,” Maltby said. “If you can’t stay healthy, especially your big guys, or if you don’t have depth (it hurts you).” Yzerman is bullish on the Penguins, who put together the league’s second-best record despite a mishmash of injuries along the blue line and Evgeni Malkin’s extended absence late in the season. Pittsburgh persevered behind Crosby’s NHL-high 44 goals and most of the familiar faces are back in time for the playoffs, Malkin included. “It’s a tough battle in the East but I think they’re a fantastic team,” Yzerman said. “If they can get their guys healthy, I think Sidney is playing the best hockey of his entire career. They can win but it’s tough.” Pittsburgh forward Matt Cullen’s rookie season coincided with Detroit’s ‘98 title. He helped Carolina to the Cup in 2006 but was traded to the Rangers in the offseason and watched from afar as the Hurricanes stumbled. He could have retired last summer with his name on the Cup for a second time but decided to give it one more shot, confident the Pen- guins had what it takes to make another run. There’s nothing Cullen’s seen over the last six months that’s made him reconsider. “For this group we’ve kind of come through the season and managed the season pretty impressively,” Cullen said. “We feel really good about where we’re at. We’ve got some bodies back in the lineup we’ve been missing for a while. We enter the postseason pretty confident with what we have here and if we play our best hockey, we have a good chance.” THE NEXT WAVE Forward Nolan Patrick of the Brandon Wheat Kings in the Western Hockey League has been selected as the top eligible skater for the 2017 NHL draft by the Central Scouting Bureau. The 18-year-old Patrick had 20 goals and 26 assists in 33 games for the Wheat Kings despite missing a significant portion of the season with an injury. Patrick, whose father Steve played 250 games for three NHL teams in the 1980s, posted 91 goals and 113 assists in three seasons with Brandon. Forward Nico Hischier, a center for the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, is the second-ranked prospect. Hischier, who had 38 goals and 48 assists in 57 games, could be the highest-ever draft pick from Switzerland. The New York Islanders took Nino Niederreiter with the fifth overall pick in 2010.

LeBron to open public school for at-risk kids AKRON, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James understands what it’s like being a kid on the outside looking for hope. He’s giving them some. James, who has been committed to helping kids in his hometown through a variety of educational programs, is teaming up with Akron public schools to open the “I Promise School” dedicated to aiding atrisk children who might otherwise be left behind. “This school is so important to me because our vision is to create a place for the kids in Akron who need it most — those that could fall through the cracks if we don’t do something,” James said. “We’ve learned over the years what works and what motivates them, and now we can bring all of that together in one place along with the right resources and experts. If we get to them early enough, we can hopefully keep them on the right track to a bigger and brighter future for themselves and their families.” The school, which will be backed by James’ family foundation, will open in the fall of 2018 and focus on children in third and fourth grades. By 2022, the school will expand to accommodate students in grades one through eight. It’s the latest initiative by the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar, whose programs have supported 1,100 kids over the past six years. Details are still being finalized on the new school by committees comprised of area leaders, educators, parents and other experts. “We are excited about the potential of the I Promise School to provide specialized programming and invaluable resources for our students,” said David James, superinten- dent of Akron’s Public Schools. “We’ve seen the positive influence of the LeBron James Family Foundation on our students and we look forward to continuing to do everything we can to put our students in a position to be successful.” James grew up in a single-parent home raised by his mother, Gloria, who was helped by other families in raising her now-famous son. James has previously partnered with the University of Akron to provide a guaranteed fouryear scholarship to the school for students in his program who qualify.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said last month that all players, team officials, and support staff from the 48 finalists “need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup. That is obvious.” The 2026 World Cup will be the first tournament since FIFA expanded the field from 32 nations. A triple-hosted tournament poses logistical challenges trying to accommodate 48 teams, but the plethora of soccer facilities in North America offers some certainty to FIFA after likely challenging tournaments in Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022. “A good signal to the rest of the world is that this can be done without necessarily building infrastructure or venues specifically for one event,” Gulati said. The U.S., which hosted the World Cup in 1994, would dominate by staging 60 games, including all from the quarterfinals and on. Mexico and Canada would have to settle for 10 games each. As a consolation, Mexico wants the opener at its 87,000-capacity Azteca Stadium if it becomes the first three-time World Cup host. The U.S., Mexico, and Canada all expect to qualify automatically — as the last co-hosts South Korea and Japan did in 2002 — but the FIFA Council has the final decision on the 2026 slots. The quota of finalists for CONCACAF, the North and Central American and Caribbean region, will double to at least six under the new format. The hosting rights are due to be awarded by FIFA in 2020. Africa and South America are eligible to bid but no countries from those continents have publicly declared an interest. “We heard something about Morocco,” Gulati said, “but we don’t know yet.” Argentina and Uruguay are keen on co-hosting the centenary World Cup in 2030. FIFA rules currently prevent 2026 bidders from Europe and Asia because they will have hosted the previous two tournaments. The U.S. participated in the 2018 and 2022 bidding contest but lost in a hotly disputed vote that sparked corruption investigations. The fallout from the two FIFA executive committee votes included the forced departure of long-standing president Sepp Blatter and the criminal indictments in the U.S. of more than 40 people. The procedure will change for the 2026 World Cup with the entire FIFA membership, which stands at 211, having a vote. Details of the host cities for 2026 are yet to be announced but the U.S. portion of the bid will rely on the gleaming stadiums opened by the NFL in the Far from impeding a World Cup bid, souring diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico emboldened those country’s soccer leaders to find common ground through pursuing one of the biggest events in sports. The U.S. could have gone it alone trying to host the 2026 World Cup, but it is seeking goodwill from FIFA and its neighbors by joining forces with Mexico and Canada. “Especially with what’s going on in the world today, we believe this is a hugely positive signal and symbol of what we can do together in unifying people,” U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said at Monday’s bid launch, “especially in our three countries.” Gulati didn’t directly mention President Donald Trump in that particular remark, but the impact of the policies of the fledging administration on a World Cup bid involving feuding neighbors was a constant theme during the event atop the Freedom Tower in lower Manhattan. Trump has derided Mexico as a source of rapists and criminals, and vowed to build a wall on the border. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto recently canceled a trip to Washington over Trump’s insistence that Mexico pay for the wall. Such tensions are at odds with the apparent glowing endorsement by Trump of Mexico’s participation in a World Cup bid that currently faces no competitors. “We have very specifically addressed this with the president,” Gulati said of the Trump controversies. “He is fully supportive of the joint bid, encouraged the joint bid, and is especially pleased with the fact Mexico is participating.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and Gulati later clarified that he had not directly spoken to Trump. “I’m not on the phone with the president or sitting down to dinner with him,” Gulati said. “But he knows what we want to Help Wanted General For Sale By Owner Money To Lend Apartments/Townhouses Carpeting HOME FOR SALE NOTICE Borrow Smart.

The process by which the body converts the foods we eat and the beverages we drink into energy, metabolism is widely misunderstood. Many people may have been told that a naturally slow metabolism might be to blame for their weight gain. But according to The Mayo Clinic, a slow metabolism is rarely to blame for excess weight gain, which can most often be attributed to both poor dietary choices and inactivity. Certain conditions that slow metabolism, such as &XVKLQJ·V�V\QGURPH�RU�K\SRWK\URLGLVP�� can cause excessive weight gain, and people who have been diagnosed with such conditions should consult their physicians for advice on dealing with their conditions. But those without conditions that affect their metabolisms may need to make certain lifestyle adjustments that can speed up their metabolisms and help them lose excess weight. Start strength training. Muscle burns more calories than fat, even when the body is at rest. Building muscle is a great way to speed up metabolism. Each pound of muscle your body has burns roughly six FDORULHV�SHU�GD\�MXVW�WR�VXVWDLQ�LWVHOI��7KDW·V� three times the calories that each pound of fat burns. Add that disparity up over WLPH��DQG�D�ERG\�ZLWK�VLJQLÀ�FDQW�PXVFOH�LV� burning considerably more calories than one with excessive fat. Stay hydrated. Dehydration takes its toll on the body in myriad ways, including affecting metabolism. Even mild dehydration can slow metabolism. When the body is dehydrated, its ability to use fat as fuel is compromised, slowing metabolism as a result. In addition, muscles need water to generate energy, so dehydrated muscles will not be burning as many calories as those that are fully hydrated. Make an effort to stay hydrated throughout the day, ZKHWKHU�\RX·UH�VLWWLQJ�DW�\RXU�GHVN�LQ�WKH� RIÀ�FH�RU�ZRUNLQJ�XS�D�VZHDW�DW�WKH�J\P� Snack, but snack healthy. Healthy meals EHQHÀ�W�PHWDEROLVP��EXW�XQKHDOWK\�VQDFNV� can derail your dieting efforts. Metabolism speeds up and burns calories each time the body eats, and many people adhere to the concept of “grazing” for that very reason. Grazing involves eating several small meals every three to four hours throughout the day rather than the more traditional three full meals each day. Grazing devotees feel that the approach burns more calories than more traditional diets, but the difference in calories burned may actually be negligible. Still, healthy snacking can speed up metabolism and help men and women avoid overeating at breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. In lieu of snacking on potato chips or baked goods, opt for healthier fare such as Greek yogurt or a serving of fruits or vegetables. Eat more protein. The thermic effect of food refers to the process by which the human body uses energy to absorb, digest and dispose of the food it ingests. Protein stimulates the thermic effect of food more VLJQLÀ�FDQWO\�WKDQ�IRRGV�WKDW�DUH�KLJK�LQ�IDW� or carbohydrates, so the body will burn more calories digesting dietary protein than it will other foods. In addition to speeding up your metabolism, dietary protein also helps people feel full longer, reducing their risk of overeating. Understanding metabolism can help men and women as they attempt to lose weight and maintain healthy weights once those extra pounds have been shed. 2 How to speed up metabolism 2 Did you know?

A ccording to the National Institute of Mental Health, panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. Panic attacks occur suddenly and are periods of intense fear that may include palpitations, pounding heartbeat and/or accelerated heart rate. People in the midst of a panic attack may also experience shortness of breath or feel as though they are choking or being smothered. Feelings of impending doom may also occur during a panic attack. Anxiety disorders, including panic disorders, may be caused by the interaction of certain genetic and environmental factors. These factors include behavioral inhibition in childhood, exposure to stressful life events in childhood and adulthood, anxiety disorders in close biological relatives and a parental history of mental disorders. Anxiety disorders are generally treated with psychotherapy or medication, or a combination of both. �HEALTH & WELLNESS Ohio Valley Group 3 SECRETS to making morning workouts a reality R outine exercise is one of the keys to a healthy life.

Men and women can expect to run into some REVWDFOHV�ZKHQ�À�UVW�HVWDEOLVKLQJ�D�PRUQLQJ� workout routine, but a few simple strategies can help make that transition go more smoothly. 1. Prepare the night before. Waking up with a to-do list in the morning takes away from the time you have to exercise. Rather than fumbling for your gym clothes and sneakers in the darkness of your pre-dawn bedroom, lay out your workout gear before going to bed each night. Lay out your work clothes as well so you spend more time exercising in the PRUQLQJ�DQG�OHVV�WLPH�FKRRVLQJ�DQ�RXWÀ�W� 2. Set your alarm earlier than you intend to wake up.

How to prevent injury when exercising E xercise is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. The World Health Organization recommends that healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 64 perform at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity each week or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week.

Though injuries can happen to even the most seasoned and knowledgeable athletes, there are certain measures adults can take to reduce their injury risk. Recognize your limitations. Once you have established a regular exercise routine and your body has grown accustomed to daily exercise, it can be tempting to overdo it or even unknowingly push your body to points that put you at a greater risk of injury. But recognizing your limitations is an essential part of avoiding injury. As you exercise more, you may notice certain areas of your body respond better to exercise than others. For example, if your wrists ache after strength training sessions, reduce the amount of weight you are lifting or look for strength- EXLOGLQJ�H[HUFLVHV�WKDW�GRQ·W� require lifting weights. Warm up before each session. No matter how accustomed your body is to regular exercise, warming up before each workout is still necessary to avoid injury.

Switch your routines every so often. When exercise becomes a part of your daily routine, you may end up hitting a plateau. When that happens, your workouts may feel less effective. Switching up routines every so often can combat that problem while also reducing injury risk to overtaxed muscles forced to endure the same exercises day in and day out. Diversify your workout every so often by choosing new exercises and switching up the cardiovascular portion of your workout. Give your body time to rest and recover. Exercise feels good, both physically and mentally.

A ccording to the American Diabetes Association, as men and women age their risk for type 2 diabetes increases. Diabetes develops when the DPRXQW�RI�VXJDU�LQ�D�SHUVRQ·V� blood is too high. When a person has type 2 diabetes, his or her body does not respond to insulin, a hormone that regulates the amount of glucose, a type of sugar, in the blood. Aging makes the body less accepting of sugars, thereby making aging men and women more susceptible to type 2 diabetes. But just because aging is an uncontrollable risk factor for type 2 diabetes does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to reduce their risk. The ADA advises that routine exercise and a healthy diet that is low in saturated and trans fat and moderate in salt and sugar can help men and women stay healthy and lower their risk for type 2 diabetes. A healthy meal plan should include lean protein, non-starchy vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and fruit. In addition, men and women young and old who want to decrease their risk for type 2 diabetes should avoid sugar-sweetened beverages such as soda, sports drinks, sweet tea, and fruit punch.

Anxiety about a life event or stress at work are two common contributors to bad moods. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, studies have shown that exercise can elevate mood and do so quickly, with some researchers suggesting that a 10-minute walk can be just as effective at relieving anxiety as a 45-minute workout. Studies have also shown that exercise can help combat stress by reducing fatigue, improving alertness and concentration and enhancing overall cognitive function. Ignore alcohol or limit your consumption. Many people feel an alcoholic beverage relaxes them, and feeling relaxed can help improve mood.

When operating correctly, kidneys can go a long way toward ensuring a healthy life. But when kidneys are compromised, the results can be very harmful to human health. Kidney disease is no small cause for concern, as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that more than 20 million Americans may have kidney disease, with millions more being at risk.

The presence of the protein albumin in urine indicates kidney damage. In addition to routine screenings, people can take the following steps to maintain healthy kidneys so they can live long, healthy and active lives. Maintain a healthy blood pressure. A healthy blood pressure can delay or prevent the onset of kidney disease. The American Heart Association advises that a normal healthy blood pressure is a systolic number (the top number) less than 120 and a diastolic number (the bottom number) less than 80. The systolic number measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic number measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats. Have your blood pressure measured by your physician on each visit (and no less than once per year), and speak with him or her about ways to lower your blood pressure if it is high or if your blood pressure falls in the prehypertension range (120-139 over 80-89), which means you are at risk of developing high blood pressure. Reduce sodium consumption. One simple way to protect your kidneys is to consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium each day.
