Rutland residents
express concerns over
water, sewer rates
Commissioners
provide update on
plans for system
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
POMEROY —
Residents and business
owners from the village
of Rutland met with the
Meigs County Commissioners last week to discuss the current water
and sewer rates, as well
as plans moving forward with the system.
Before hearing from
the residents, Commissioners Mike Bartrum
and Tim Ihle gave the
group of around 20
individuals a brief history of how things got
to where they are now
and a look at the future
plans for the failing
sewer system.
Bartrum explained
that things were in a
bad situation when the
county became involved
with the system back
in 2012, and acknowledged that there has
not been much conversation between the
commissioners and
the residents since
that time. He assured
those in attendance
that work is going on
to secure grant funding
and the necessary loans
to replace the grinder
pump system that is
currently in place in the
village.
The commissioners,
with the help of numerous other agencies,
have worked to secure
more than $2 million
in grant funding to go
toward the new system
for the village.
When the commissioners acquired the
system it was approximately $600,000 in
debt, explained Ihle.
In the first year the
county had the system
an additional $300,000
was advanced from
the county general
fund into what became
known as the Meigs
County Water and
Sewer District. That
money, explained
Ihle, has to go back to
county general where
it originally came from.
Much of the advance
was for parts and sup-
plies to operate the failing system.
One of the residents
asked if the debt was
something that should
have been paid off by
now, as the original
loan was taken out
more than 25 years
ago. Ihle said that he
did not know for sure
when the original date
to have the loan paid
was, but simply that it
was not paid as it was
scheduled.
Business owner Bill
Stewart explained that
he has been there for
the past 20 years and
over the past two to
three years things have
not been good. Stewart
said business has been
down, and that local
residents come in and
complain about the
increase in the rates.
A minimum bill for
a customer with both
water and sewer service
in the village is $119.
Residents in attendance expressed concerns over the rate,
and possible future
increases, particularly
for those on a fixed
income.
Bartrum explained
that the commissioners
have delayed increases
to the water and sewer
bills as much as possible, but that the state
has laid out a 10 year
plan for the water
and sewer systems
which require that
specific increases be
put in place in order
to maintain the system
and hopefully pay down
the debt.
The rates come
directly from that plan,
which was something
that took time to
develop, said Ihle. He
told those in attendance that when the
county took over the
system there was no
financial records or
books to indicate what
the rates had been,
past increases or other
financial information
on the operation of the
system. Given that they
only had the information on who had current accounts and at
what rates, billing was
maintained at the same
rate for one year to

Deputies investigating gunshot, marijuana
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
DYESVILLE — The Meigs
County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a reported gunshot wound
to a man’s arm which led to the
discovery of an alleged indoor
marijuana grow.
In a news release, Meigs County
Sheriff Keith Wood reported that
his office received a phone call
from the Athens County 911 at
12:45 a.m. Wednesday of a man
who had arrived at OhioHealth
O’Bleness Hospital with a gunshot
wound to his right arm. The man
resides in Meigs County.
Deputies responded to the
hospital as well as to the victim’s
residence in Dyesville to secure
the scene. According to informa-
tion received by hospital staff, the
victim, Brian L. Woodgerd, age 59,
of Dyesville Road, Pomeroy, had
made statements upon his arrival
there that he had found a handgun
on his porch and the weapon had
gone off, striking him in the right
forearm. Deputies interviewed
Woodgerd’s neighbor, who had
brought him to the emergency
room about the incident as well
as hospital staff. Deputies were
unable to interview Woodgerd at
that time due to his medical treatment as he was admitted to the
hospital for the injury.
Sgt. Curtis Jones responded to
the residence to secure the scene
until more information could be
obtained as to what had happened.
Upon arrival, Sgt. Jones found the
residence door open and entered
the residence to make sure no one
else was inside that may have been
injured. While inside, Sgt. Jones
allegedly found an indoor marijuana grow. The residence was
secured and a search warrant was
obtained. Evidence seized reportedly included several marijuana
plants as well as a quantity of
packaged marijuana.
Sgt. Jones was unable to find
any evidence of the shooting on
the front porch where Woodgerd
stated to hospital staff that he was
injured at. The firearm that Woodgerd had stated to hospital staff
that he had shot himself with was
not located at the residence either.
This case remains under investigation at this time.

Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley and Crimes Victim Service Advocates Theda
Petrasko, Shelley Kemper and Alexis Schwab attended the Ohio Attorney General’s Two Days
in May conference on crime victim services this week. Schwab and Petrasko are also pictured

Prosecutor, advocates
attend conference
By Sarah Hawley

POMEROY —
Meigs County Prosecutor James K.
Stanley and Crime
Victim Service Advocates Theda Petrasko,
Shelley Kemper and
Alexis Schwab attended the Ohio Attorney
General’s Two Days
in May conference
on victim assistance
earlier this week in
Columbus.
The theme for
the annual conference was “A Call to
Action” with a variety of workshops on
answering the call
to serve the needs of
victims of crime.
Kemper said that
some of the workshops she and others
attended during the
conference were on
assisting victims of
domestic violence,
working on civil protection orders, grant
funding, and social
media.
During one of the
presentations on
social media, sexting
and other dangers
for today’s teens,
Kemper explained
that a group of local
high school students
were on the panel
that explained to the
group some of the
apps and specific language which is used
by teens that others,
such as parents, may
overlook or not know
about. Other sessions
dealt with combating
elder financial exploitation, the impact of
the opiod epidemic
on children, supervised visitation as a
victim service, coordinated responses
at crime scenes, and
the reality of violence
against women.
Petrasko, who is
the director of the
Meigs County Victim
Service program, said
the conference allows
for the advocates and
prosecutors to learn
new ideas which can
easily be implemented in local programs,
as well as networking
with other advocates
from small counties
to see what is working in similar areas
or what can be done
differently.
Some of the takeaways from the programs, added Kemper, were new ways
to help with safety
planning for domestic
violence victims and
better ways to keep
victims informed
throughout the criminal justice process.
Kemper and
Petrasko explained
that each year they
come away with new
information from the
conference, even after
having attended in
the past. This was
the first year attending for Stanley and
Schwab.
RACINE — During the
conclusion of a recessed
meeting on Tuesday evening, Racine Village Council
approved an ordinance providing for a $5 permissive
tax on motor vehicles registered within the corporation
limits of the village.
The tax is to be collected
by the Registrar of Motor
Vehicles and will supplement
street department funds in
the village.
In stating the need for
the funds, the village has
explained that over the past
few years the revenue for
the street fund has been relatively at the same level, while
the expenses for street operations have increased. Council
members felt the license tax
was a better alternative than
asking for additional property tax.
During the discussion
whether to levy the permissive tax, including a review
of the various state statutes
regarding motor vehicles,
it was learned that effective
Jan. 1, 2017, golf carts, lowspeed, under-speed, utility
trucks or mini-trucks, must
be titled and registered if
the vehicles are to be be permitted to operate on public
roads at speeds not greater
than 35 MPH. Liability insurance is also required and the
vehicles must have various
safety equipment.
In other business, Mayor
Scott Hill reported to council
that he will be meeting later
this week with an out-ofcounty investor representative regarding the possibility
of establishing a business
in the village which could
employ 40 to 50 people. The
business would be subject to
State of Ohio approval. More
information is expected to be
provided following the meeting with the representative.
Hill also reported that
the water system project is
winding down and sidewalk
replacement is taking place.
The mayor will also be
attending a public meeting
with the county engineer on
the 25th, requesting assistance on the $400,000 project on Elm Street.

OBITUARIES
GREGORY CARL DAVIS
POMEROY — Gregory
Carl Davis, 61 of Cullums
Road, Pomeroy, Ohio,
passed away in an accident on May 15, 2017. He
was born Dec. 12, 1955,
to the late Roger W. Davis
and Iris Palmer Davis in
Pontiac, Michigan.
Greg loved his land
and all of creation. He
believed that every living thing had a right to
its life. Greg’s sense of
humor and honest character put people at ease.
He made it his priority
to make people laugh,
pulling them out of their
shells and into human
connection. If you ever
needed to find him, just
go outside and follow
the music. You’d likely
find yourself arriving to
the pond or the hill, to
an engaging conversation about the deeper
meanings in life, or to his
comedic commentary on
any given topic. It gave
him great joy to be with
people at the heart level.
His spelling was a mess,
but his vocabulary was
immense, making it easy
to articulate his spiritual and philosophical
thoughts. And sometimes
he would seamlessly
weave classic rock lyrics
into what he was saying.
Friends and family
knew they could always
rely on Greg for help
with their projects, as

he would willingly offer
his creative thinking and
craftsman skills. Kids and
animals took an instant
liking to him. He invited
his younger friends to be
active participants in the
task at hand, and he affectionately referred to them
as “Partner.” He will be
dearly missed by many.
Greg is preceded in
death by his parents,
Roger and Iris Davis, and
by his father-in-law, Roy
L. Holter. He is survived
by former wife, Jan Holter Davis; daughter, Tricia
(Garland) Tam, Charlotte, N.C.; son, Zachary
C. Davis, Pomeroy, Ohio;
three grandsons, Carter
Tam 2.5 years, Owen Tam
3 months, and Cannon
Davis 3 year; and Cannon’s mother, Bonnielou
Allen. He is also survived
by three siblings, Steven
(Debbie) Davis, Bath,
Ohio; Sherry (Kelly) Hayman, Portland, Ohio; and
Rob (Patsy) Davis, Seattle, Washington; motherin-law, Pat “Patty” Holter;
sister-in-law, Ann (Rick)
Munafo; and brothers-inlaw, Alan (Kay) Holter
and Ed (Jan) Holter;
special childhood friend,
Mark Lisowski; his dear
neighbor friend Tiffany
Harder Daniels;, and his
faithful dog Lucy.
A private celebration of
Greg’s life will be held at
a later date.

Girl Scouts name new
CEO: a Brownie turned
rocket scientist
By David Crary
AP National Writer
NEW YORK — Sylvia
Acevedo, who earned a
science badge as a Girl
Scout and later became a
rocket scientist and entrepreneur, was appointed
Wednesday as CEO of the
Girl Scouts of the USA.
A top priority, she said,
would be to stem a sharp
decline in the organization’s membership.
Acevedo had been serving as the interim CEO
since last June while the
GSUSA conducted an
extensive search for a new
permanent leader. In the
end, the national board
decided she was the best
choice, depicting her as
“a long-time champion for
girls’ and women’s causes.”

Retailers locked in game of shipping tag
“Target, Wal-Mart and Amazon are engaged in
a game of shipping tag, each trying to adjust
their free threshold and other shipping
strategies to a level that can lure shoppers
away from one of the other.”
lier this year and scrapped
its program called SavingsPass that offered free
shipping but had an annual
fee. It also cut its shipping
time to two days on 2 million of its most popular
items, including essentials
like diapers and pet food as
well as some toys and electronics. Wal-Mart’s average
shipping time has been
three to five days.
The strategy shift was
one of the first big moves
by Walmart.com’s CEO
Mark Lore, who joined the
company when the Bentonville, Arkansas-based chain
bought online retailer Jet.
com last year. In April,
Wal-Mart also began offering discounts on thousands of online-only items
when customers elect to
have them shipped to one
of the company’s stores for
pickup — cheaper for the
company than delivering
to people’s homes. WalMart plans to expand the
price cuts to more than a
million items by the end
of June.
The company will be
reporting its first-quarter
results on Thursday. In the
fourth quarter, Wal-Mart
had a 29 percent increase
in online sales, but the
growth was on a bigger
base of sales.
Amazon.com, which had
reduced the free shipping
threshold for its non-Prime
members to $35 from
$49 following Wal-Mart’s
move, has lowered it again
to $25. Greg Melich, an
analyst at research firm
Evercore, estimates that on
average Amazon customers
indicated they spend $800
annually on the site and
members of its $99-a-year
Prime program spend on
average 2.7 times more
than non-Prime members
and receive 2.5 times more
shipments per year.
If Amazon’s relationship with Prime members
continues to grow, Melich
said in a recent report,
then Amazon’s path toward
Wal-Mart’s 9 percent of
the total U.S. retail market
compared to Amazon’s 3
percent is “reasonable.”
Target is also testing a
program called Restock
that would let its REDcard
customers order household
essentials like laundry
detergent, paper towels
and peanut butter and
have them delivered to
their homes the next day.
The service, being
tested with employees for
now, is similar to Amazon
Pantry, which charges
$5.99 — but the Amazon
delivery is not expedited.
Target plans to expand
the test to its loyalty card
members in Minneapolis
this summer.
“Target Restock is a
great start for Target to
regain customers lost to
Amazon, but Target may
look to expand its efforts
within Restock to the category of apparel” because of
how important clothing is
to Target’s focus on style,
said Matt Sargent, senior
vice president of retail at
the Magid consulting firm.
He says it’s “a next
logical step for an initiative desperately needed at
Target.”
Target is also preparing
to launch a same-day delivery service at a store in the
Tribeca neighborhood of
Manhattan. Customers can
choose a delivery window
to have their orders delivered to their homes later
that day. Amazon already
has same-day delivery service in several dozen cities. More than a year ago,
Wal-Mart partnered with
ride-hailing services Uber
and Lyft to test same-day
grocery deliveries in Phoenix and Denver. It’s also
testing same-day delivery
service with Deliv at Sam’s
Club in Miami.
Ford to cut jobs as sales
level off, stock price lags
DETROIT (AP) —
Ford is getting leaner
as it faces an onslaught
of challenges, from
slowing U.S. sales to
high-tech challengers
to its own disgruntled
shareholders.
The 114-yearold automaker said
Wednesday it is cutting 1,400 non-factory
jobs in North America
and Asia Pacific. The
company will offer voluntary early retirement
and separation packages to around 10 percent
of its salaried workers
in departments such as
sales, marketing and
human resources. It
expects the actions to
be complete by the end
of September.
The cuts are the
biggest to Ford’s U.S.
white collar staff since
2007, when 7,200
workers took voluntary
buyout packages.
In an email to
employees, Ford said
it wants to strengthen
its core business and
invest aggressively in
new opportunities.
“Reducing costs and
becoming as lean and
efficient as possible
also remain part of that
work,” the company
wrote.
Ford isn’t the only
automaker looking to
slim down. Last month,
General Motors Co.
Chief Financial Officer
Chuck Stevens said
GM was considering
cuts to its white collar
staff in order to rein in
costs.
Ford’s problems
aren’t entirely unique.
After seven straight
years of growth, U.S.
sales are starting to
slow down, which
will hurt automakers’
profits. Sales in Asia
are volatile and not as
profitable. Turbulence
in other markets, like
South America, hasn’t
helped.
Automakers are also
investing heavily in
self-driving cars and
other new technology.
Ford, which has promised an autonomous
vehicle by 2021, bought
a shuttle service and
invested $1 billion in
Argo AI, an artificial
intelligence startup.
Such investments may
not pay dividends for
years, but automakers
can’t risk being left
behind by non-traditional rivals like Google
and Uber.
But some of Ford’s
problems are of its own
making. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas
says Ford should consider exiting unprofitable vehicle lines, like
small cars, or markets,
like India.

NEW YORK (AP) —
Target, Wal-Mart and
Amazon are engaged in
a game of shipping tag,
each trying to adjust their
free threshold and other
shipping strategies to a
level that can lure shoppers away from one of the
other.
Minneapolis-based Target has the furthest to go
as it tries to put itself in
better competition with
Amazon, the undisputed
online leader, and WalMart, which has been buying online startups to beef
up its own operations.
Target has announced
plans to put more money
into both its online operations and its stores, and
saw it online sales rise 22
percent for the first quarter. That was a slowdown
from 34 percent in the
fourth quarter, though.
With shoppers overall
less and less willing to
wait for their items to
arrive, figuring out a shipping strategy that will
encourage people to buy
more and also drive shoppers to its stores will be a
key element for Target.
Amazon “has a model of
getting shoppers to order
and having it show up in
two days and is working
to make it less than two
days,” said Tim Laseter, a
partner at PwC. “There is
no doubt that the general
expectation is faster and
cheaper.”
But he noted that Target
and Wal-Mart can take
advantage of their stores in
this game as they increasingly cater to customers.
Target has been pushing on a lot of fronts, from
readjusting free shipping
thresholds to planning
to test a new same-day
service at a store in Manhattan.
“We believe that the
future of retail is both digital and physical, and successful retailers will need
to provide an outstanding
experience in both,” Chief
Operating Officer John
Mulligan told investors on
Wednesday.
Target had quietly raised
its free shipping threshold to $35 from $25 this
month, going in the opposite direction of Wal-Mart
and Amazon. Asked about
that move Wednesday,
Chief Financial Officer
Kathy R. Smith said that
very few online orders are
below $35.
But she said, “We will
always evaluate.”
Wal-Mart had lowered
its bar to $35 from $50 ear-

THEIR VIEW
Lessons from
the Battle of
Midway
By Victor Davis Hanson
Contributing columnist
Seventy-five years
ago (June 4-7, 1942),
the astonishing American victory at the Battle
of Midway changed the
course of the Pacific
War.
Just six months after
the catastrophic Japanese surprise attack
on Pearl Harbor, the
U.S. crushed the Imperial Japanese Navy off
Midway Island (about
1,300 miles northwest
of Honolulu), sinking
four of its aircraft carriers.
“Midway” referred to
the small atoll roughly
halfway between North
America and Asia. But
to Americans, “Midway” became a barometer of military progress. Just half a year
after being surprised
at Pearl Harbor, the
U.S. Navy had already
destroyed almost half of
Japan’s existing carrier
strength (after achieving a standoff at the
Battle of the Coral Sea
a month earlier).
The odds at the June
1942 battle favored the
Japanese. The imperial
fleet had four carriers to the Americans’
three, backed up by
scores of battleships,
cruisers and light carriers as part of the largest
armada that had ever
steamed from Japan.
No military had
ever won more territory in six months than
had Japan. Its Pacific
Empire ranged from
the Indian Ocean to the
coast of the Aleutian
Islands, and from the
Russian-Manchurian
border to Wake Island
in the Pacific.
Yet the Japanese
Navy was roundly
defeated by an outnumbered and inexperienced American fleet at
Midway. Why and how?
American intelligence
officers — often eccentric and free to follow
their intuitions — had
cracked the Japanese
naval codes, giving the
Americans some idea
of the Japanese plan of
attack at Midway.
American commanders were far more open
to improvising and
risk-taking than their
Japanese counterparts.
In contrast, Japanese
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto created an elaborate but rigid plan of
attack that included an
invasion of the Aleutian
Islands as well as Midway.
But such impractical
agendas dispersed the
much larger Japanese
fleet all over the central
and northern Pacific,
ensuring that the Japanese could never focus
their overwhelming
numerical advantages
on the modest threecarrier American fleet.
The U.S. Navy was
also far more resilient
than its Japanese counterpart.
A month earlier at
the Battle of the Coral
Sea, the Japanese suffered damage to one of
“Americans took
chances to win an
incredible victory.”
their carriers and serious aircraft losses on
another. The American
carrier Lexington was
sunk, and the Yorktown
was severely damaged.
But whereas the
Japanese took months
repairing the bombed
carrier Shokaku and
replenishing the lost
planes of the Zuikaku,
the crippled Yorktown
was made seaworthy
again at Pearl Harbor
just 72 hours after limping into port.
The result of such
incredible adaptability
was that at Midway the
Americans had three
carriers (rather than
two), against four for
the Japanese (instead
of a possible six).
Midway was probably the best chance
for Japan to destroy
U.S. naval power in the
Pacific before America’s
enormous war industry
created another new
fleet entirely.
Just months after
Midway, new American
Essex-class carriers —
the most lethal afloat
— would be launched.
Before the war ended,
17 of the planned 24
carriers would see
action.
In contrast, Japan
launched only four
more fleet carriers to
replace its growing
losses. Japanese naval
aircraft — the best in
the world in 1941 —
were becoming obsolete by mid-1942.
In contrast, in the
months after Midway,
tens of thousands of
new and superior Hellcat fighters, Avenger
torpedo bombers and
Helldiver dive bombers rolled off American
assembly lines in numbers unmatched by the
Japanese.
During the Battle of
Midway itself, Japanese
Admiral Chuichi Nagumo fatally hesitated in
launching his air fleet.
He was wedded to rigid
doctrine about prepping his planes with the
proper munitions.
In contrast, American Admirals Raymond
Spruance and Frank
Jack Fletcher gambled
and sent most of the
planes they had at
the first inkling of the
approaching Japanese
fleet.
Japan could not equal
American industrial
strength, but American
aviators and seamen
could certainly match
the Samurai courage of
their Japanese counterparts.
At Midway, 37 of
the 41 slow-flying and
obsolete American
Devastator torpedo
bombers lumbered to
their deaths, as they
were easily picked off
by Japanese air cover.
But such heroic sacrificial pawns drew off
critical Japanese fighter
protection from the
fleet. In its absence,

Reporters ask questions
An outrageous arrest by W.Va. Capitol Police
(Editor’s note: The
following editorial
appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on
Tuesday, May 16.)
The West Virginia
Capitol Police purport
to be a bona fide lawenforcement agency. But
there’s scant evidence
of that. In arresting
reporter Dan Heyman
last week — his offense
was asking questions
— they look more like
the security services in
repressive regimes.
The political polarization of America
has helped to erode
Americans’ trust of the
media. President Donald
Trump’s love-hate relationship with the Fourth
Estate has been a big
contributing factor.
Even so, the behavior
of the West Virginia
Capitol Police was outrageous. Heyman was manhandled, arrested, locked
up for eight hours and
charged with a misdemeanor count of “willful

sidled up to U.S. Health
and Human Services
Secretary Tom Price in
the capitol hallway and
— gasp! — asked him
questions. The criminal
complaint accuses Heyman of trying to breach
security and “causing a
disturbance by yelling
questions.”
Heyman works for
Public News Service,
which describes itself as
having operations in 36
states with support from
“nonprofit organizations,
foundations, individuals
and businesses for social
responsibility.” When he
got out of the slammer,
Heyman was flabbergasted. “This is my job,
this is what I’m supposed
to do,” The Washington Post quoted him as
saying. He’s absolutely
right.
Reporters routinely
trail behind or walk
alongside public officials
as they move from one
location or event to
the next and take the
opportunity to ask questions. It must happen
hundreds of times each
day on Capitol Hill and
in statehouses, city halls
and courthouses across
America. Reporters
anticipate the face time;
public officials expect it
and nearly always act civilly, even if they decline
to answer the questions
posed to them.
Heyman was persistent
in asking a non-responsive Price — accompanied by White House
adviser Kellyanne Conway on a visit to Charleston to discuss the opioid
crisis — whether domestic violence would be a
pre-existing condition
under the GOP health
care plan. But there was
nothing out of the ordinary, let alone illegal,
about his conduct. Did
the West Virginia Capitol
Police overreact or did
they want to spare Price
further questioning?
They were wrong either
way.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The charges should
be dropped, the officers
involved disciplined and
Heyman given an apology. However, there’s
been nothing but silence
so far from West Virginia
Gov. Jim Justice, who
should have immediately rebuked the capitol
police. It’s time he lived
up to his name.
Price could have, and
should have, intervened
to stop Heyman’s arrest.
He’s mostly dodged questions about the incident,
except to say the police
“did what they felt was
appropriate.”
The police did nothing appropriate here. As
the police detained him,
according to a New York
Times account, Heyman
asked: “So the Capitol of
the state of West Virginia
is no longer a public
space?” That, like his
other questions, hasn’t
yet been answered.

to what is used in rural
areas out west, which is
similar to a septic tank

Rio softball
earns spot in
title game
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing
GRAND RAPIDS,
Mich. — In a regular season meeting with Davenport (Mich.) University,
the University of Rio
Grande saw the Panthers
erase a two-run deficit
with a sixth inning uprising en route to a comefrom-behind win.
In Tuesday afternoon’s
post-season rematch
between the two nationally-ranked squads, the
RedStorm survived a similar scenario to post their
most important victory
to date in what’s already
been a record-setting
season.
Head coach Chris
Hammond’s team built a
three-run fourth inning
lead and then held on
down the stretch for a 3-2
triumph in the winner’s
backet final of the Grand
Rapids Bracket of the
NAIA Softball National
Tournament Opening
Round at the Farmer’s
Insurance Athletic Complex.
Rio Grande, ranked
No. 17 nationally and
the tourney’s No. 2 seed,
improved to 47-8 with
the win and advanced to
Wednesday’s championship game where they’ll
face the Panthers again
after their win over thirdseeded Olivet Nazarene
in Tuesday night’s loser’s
bracket final.
The title game is scheduled for noon, with a second final - if needed - at
3 p.m.
The RedStorm need
just one win on Wednesday to earn the program’s
first-ever trip to the NAIA
World Series, which
is scheduled for May
28-June 2 in Clermont,
Fla.
Eighth-ranked Davenport, the tourney’s host
and top seed, finished the
day at 45-8 after the early
loss and the late victory.
“It was a seven-inning
battle,” Hammond said.
“They’re an exceptional
team. It’s the second
time we faced them and
they’re not the kind of
team that’s going to give
up - they’ll fight you till
the end. To beat a team
of their caliber says something about our kids. I’m
very proud of how our
team played.”
Senior pitcher Jenna
Jones (Lancaster, OH)
survived a rough start
and the Panthers’ late
rally to earn her 13th
win in 17 decisions.
She walked five and hit
a batter inside the first
two innings, but escaped
unscathed as DU left
the bases loaded in both
frames.

Southern sophomore Billy Harmon, in front of pitcher Trey Pickens, throws to first base during the Tornadoes’ 4-3 loss to Notre Dame, on Tuesday in Chillicothe.
Titans top Southern, 4-3 in district semi
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio —
The pitchers were dueling
and it simply came down to
defense.
In Tuesday night’s Division
IV district semifinal at Paint
Stadium, SHS senior Trey
Pickens and Notre Dame junior
C.J. Corns both pitched a complete game and allowed one
earned run apiece. However,
the Tornado defense committed four more errors than
NDHS, allowing the Titans to
claim the 4-3 win.
Southern (14-6) — the No.
2 seed, making its first district
appearance since 2013, when
it won its seventh straight
district crown — was scoreless in the first two innings,
leaving one runner on base
in the opening frame inning
and stranded two more in the
second.
Third-seeded Notre Dame
broke the scoreless tie with
two outs in the top of the third
inning, when Tyler Speas singled home Cameron Rodriguez
and, on the same play, Drew
Cassidy scored on an error.
The Tornadoes answered
right back with one out in the
bottom of the third, when Pickens singled home Logan Drummer. Later in the frame, Billy
Harmon drove in Dylan Smith
to tie the game at two.
NDHS reestablished its lead
with two outs in the top of
the fourth, when Sam Kayser
singled home Tyler Shaw.
The Purple and Gold
responded right back, as Jensen Anderson scored on a twoout passed ball in the home
half of the fourth, tying the
game at three.
The Titans were back in
control in the top of the fifth,
however, as Cassidy singled,
moved from first to third on
a error, and then scored on
another error.
In the bottom of the fifth,
Harmon doubled with two outs
and then advanced to third on
a passed ball, but a groundout
stranded the game-tying run
90 feet away.
Southern was retired in
order in both the sixth and
the seventh innings, as Notre
Dame sealed the 4-3 victory
and the spot in Wednesday’s
district final, against South
Webster.
The Tornadoes committed
five errors, all of which came
in the three innings that NDHS
scored.
“It wasn’t about making a
major mistake, it was about
guys trying to make a play,”
second-year SHS head coach
Kyle Wickline said. “You can’t
second guess them trying to
make a play and trying help the
team.”
The Titans committed just
one error, but it led to a Tornado run.
Corns earned the win on the
mound for Notre Dame and
struck out 12 batters, including
five of the final six he faced.
The Titans’ junior allowed
three runs, one earned, on five
hits and four walks.
Pickens fanned three batters
and suffered the loss for SHS,
allowing four runs, one earned,
on eight hits and three walks.
“Corns is a heck of a pitcher,
probably one of the best we’ve
seen all year,” Wickline said.
“Maybe we needed to have a
little more discipline at the
plate, like we did last week.
Trey pitched a helluva game.”
The SHS offense was led by
Smith, who was 2-for-4 with
a run scored. Drummer and
Harmon both doubled once,
with Drummer scoring a run
and Harmon earning an RBI.
Pickens contributed a single
and an RBI to the Tornado
cause, while Anderson chipped
in with a run scored.

Meigs senior Luke Musser delivers a pitch during the
Marauders’ sectional semifinal victory over Jackson,
in Rocksprings on May 8.
BIDWELL, Ohio — For Luke Musser,
what a perfect way to go out.
That’s because Musser, a senior member of the Meigs High School baseball
squad, pitched a perfect game on Tuesday
—as the visiting Marauders edged the
River Valley Raiders 1-0 in a Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division makeup matchup.
That’s correct.
Musser faced 21 Raider batters — and
retired 21 Raider batters.
In fact, he struck out two-thirds of them
(14), including for all three outs in the
opening two innings —part of seven consecutive strikeouts to begin the game.
He then fanned two Raiders apiece in
innings three, four and six —throwing 88
total pitches along the way.
Musser also helped himself with a pair
of defensive assists.
Meanwhile, Meigs manufactured a
single solitary run in the fifth inning that
held up for the win —when Jake Roush
walked to lead off and Cameron Smith
bunt singled, as Christian Mattox scored
Roush with a sacrifice fly to left field.
The only other Marauder baserunners
were Mattox on a pair of doubles in the
first and third frames — along with walks
to Tyler Williams in the second and to
K.J. Tracy in the fourth.
Mattox did reach third in both instances, but was stranded there by River Valley’s tough-luck losing pitcher Jack Farley.
Williams also reached on an error in the
fourth — the only such miscue by either
club.
With the victory, the Marauders ended
their season at 9-3 in the TVC-Ohio —
good for second-place in the division
behind undefeated Athens (12-0).
Meigs finished 15-10 overall, and completed the season sweep of the rival Raiders.
River Valley, conversely, concluded its
season at 4-14 — and went winless in the

Rio grabbed a lead it
would never relinquish
in the top of the second
when sophomore designated player MacKenzie
Nichols (Columbus,
OH) reached on a
one-out walk and was
replaced by sophomore
pinch-runner Kelly
Fuchs (Williamsport,
OH), who stole second,
moved to third on a
sacrifice bunt by senior
Cheyenne Hamaker
(Hilliard, OH) and
scored on a soft single
to left by senior Kari
Jenkins (Jackson, OH).
The RedStorm’s
advantage grew to 3-0
in the fourth when
Hamaker led off with
a solo home run to
left and, with two out,
senior Alex Stevens
(Oak Hill, OH) followed
a double to right-center
by freshman Michaela
Criner (Lancaster, OH)
with a run-scoring hit to
right.
That’s how things
stayed until the home
sixth.
Lindsay Tasma drew
a one-out walk and
moved to second on a
single by Briana Allen Davenport’s first hit of
the day - before scoring
on a single by Haley
Obetts to make it 3-1.
Obetts took second
on the throw home and
was promptly replaced
by pinch-runner Selene
Pauley. Lindsay Reed,
who was pinch-running
for Allen, came home
and Pauley moved to
third moments later
when Jones was called
for an illegal pitch, slicing the deficit to 3-2.
Jones retired Kennedy Crawford on a strikeout, but then walked
Lauren French, who
advanced to second on
defensive indifference
to put the would-be goahead run in scoring
position.
Jones rebounded,
though, by retiring
pinch-hitter Kara
Hutchison on a called
third strike to end the
inning.
Jones surrendered a
two-out single to Alyssa
Eastman in the home
seventh, but induced
Tasma into a gameending grounder to
shortstop.
“She’s a veteran who’s
not just a thrower - she’s
a pitcher,” said Hammond, in reference to
Jones. “When she gets
that ‘Eye of the Tiger’
look like she had today,
you know you’re going
to get everything she
has to give. I thought
she threw the ball really
well.”
Jenkins finished 2-for3 with a double and an
RBI to spearhead Rio’s
seven-hit attack. Four
of the seven hits came
from positions 7-9 in
the RedStorm batting
order.
“That’s the sign of
having a true team.
Somebody has to pick
up the slack at some
point,” Hammond said.
“We’ve got confidence
in all of our kids. The
kids near the bottom
of our order might not
have the numbers that
some of the other kids
do, but they’re good
players. Kari had some
good at bats today.
Chey - I told her right
before her homer not
to have that home run
swing - and then she hit
one. It’s just seeing the
ball, getting good bat on
it and then seeing what
happens.”
Emily Maves (18-4)
started and took the
loss for Davenport,
allowing six hits and
the three runs over
3-2/3 innings.
“We have a tough
group of kids. They
realize that business
isn’t over with yet.
Tomorrow, the moment
will be a little bit bigger,” said Hammond.
“We just have to keep
reminding ourselves
about what got us to
this point and keep
trying to build on that
- that’s the big thing.
Beating somebody
twice is a tough thing
to do, but I’ve seen it
done. Whomever we
face is going to be playing for its life, so we
know we’re going to
get their best shot. We
just have to be us. If we
do that, I think we’ll be
fine.”

Lady Tigers eliminate Point Pleasant, 3-0
By Paul Adkins

CHAPMANVILLE,
W.Va. — The Chapmanville Regional High
School softball team had
an air of confidence heading into Tuesday night’s
Region 4 tournament
game with Point Pleasant
at Chapmanville’s Ronnie
Ooten Field.
The Lady Tigers, the
defending Class AA state
champs, had just went on
the road on Monday at
Point Pleasant and beat
the Lady Knights 1-0 to
go up a game in the bestof-three series.
Chapmanville had
junior pitching ace Kenzie McCann taking to
the circle again. McCann
shut out Point Pleasant
in Monday’s game and
brought a 16-3 record and
0.92 ERA into Tuesday’s
tilt.
Give McCann a run or
two and the Lady Tigers
will likely win.
They’ve proven that all
season long.
In the second inning,
McCann did it herself
and helped her own cause
with a two-run triple.
It all added up to a 3-0
Chapmanville victory as
the business-like Lady
Tigers earned the right
to return to Vienna and
defend its state championship.
Point Pleasant saw its
season come to a close at
23-9.

Both teams stranded

The last time these

the Purple and Gold

This marks the final
game in the Purple and
Gold for seniors Blake
Johnson, Haden Miller,
Trey Pickens and Clayton Wood.
“They’re going to be
tremendously missed,”
Wickline said of the
seniors. “They got us
back to being here (at
districts) every year.
It was their goal to
try and get here, and
they’re here.
“It didn’t work out
tonight, but I think
it will help the young
kids,” Wickline added.
“We’ve made strides,
and we’ll continue to
move forward. This is
all a learning experience. We’re losing four
seniors, and I know
they’re big parts of the
program, but we have
other guys coming back

elimination state tournament is set to conclude
on Thursday, May 25.
Chapmanville was
able to shut down Point
Pleasant for the second straight day with
McCann’s arm.
McCann tossed all
seven innings and allowed
no runs on four hits with
three strikeouts and no
walks.
Karson Bonecutter was
the tough luck loser on
the mound for the Lady
Knights. She tossed six
innings and yielded three
runs on seven hits with
three strikeouts and no
issued walks.
Chapmanville has
allowed just 22 runs all
season — 14 of those
came in losses to Class
AAA state tourney bound
Hurricane (7-3) and Winfield (7-1).
The Lady Tigers have
18 shutouts and have outscored their opponents
21-1 in the post-season.
Chapmanville coach
Ronnie Ooten said he’s
thrilled to have his team
back in the state tournament again. The Lady
Tigers will be looking for
their seventh overall state
title and first back-to-back
crowns since 2009-10.
“It’s been hard and
we’ve struggled hitting
the ball. I’ve said it 100
times,” Ooten said. “We
hit a lot of balls up in the
air but heck, I’ll take a
win anytime.”
Chapmanville went up
2-0 in the second inning
after threatening to score
in the first and leaving a
pair of base runners on.
Carley Cook, the Lady
Tigers’ third baseman,
got the second inning
started with a two-out
single to center. No. 9
hitter and senior first
baseman Kerston Kennedy then followed with
an opposite field single to
left to put two on.
Then it was the slaphitting McCann, who

game — a two-run triple

The Lady Tigers added
an insurance run in the
bottom of the sixth as
Karah Little singled, took
second on a wild pitch
and then scored on DP
Jada Freeman’s opposite
field bloop single down
the left field line to make
it 3-0.
Point Pleasant only
had four base runners
the entire game and only
made it into scoring position once in the top of the
fifth inning.
Center fielder Megan
Hammond had a one-out
single, took second on a
wild pitch and then went
to third on DP Kelsey
Price’s ground out to
second. Hammond was
stranded there as Hannah
Smith’s bunt attempt was
popped up behind the
plate and Chapmanville
catcher Grace Belcher
was able to catch the ball
in foul ground to end the
threat.
McCann allowed a twoout single to Hammoind
in the top of the seventh
but fanned Price to end
the game. Hammond
was 2-for-3 for the game.
Point Pleasant leadoff batter Cammy Hesson was
2-for-3.
McCann was 2-for-3
with two RBI to lead
CRHS.
Belcher, Little, Freeman, Cook and Kennedy
all had one hit each for
the Lady Tigers.
It was the final softball
game for seniors Cammy
Hesson, Karson Bonecutter, Victoria Allensworth,
Michaela Cottrill and
Megan Hammond in the
Red and Black. The quintet amassed 95 wins over
their four-year careers
and appeared in four
regional tournaments —
three of which were at the
Class AAA level.
Chapmanville is set
to play old rival Herbert
Hoover in the first game
of the state tournament
next week.
The two teams met
twice this season with
the Lady Tigers winning
5-1 on March 23 at Falling Rock in the season
opener, then prevailing
1-0 over the Huskies on
April 21 at home.
Chapmanville brings in
a 20-4 state tournament
record since 1999.
Since ‘99, the Lady
Tigers have won the state
championship every time
they have went except for
once. That was in 2011
when CRHS went 1-2 in
the state tourney.

Wahama aiming for Class A podium
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
RV
Thursday, May 18, 2017 7
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— How sweet it is … for
a steadily-growing program.
The Wahama track and
field teams will have 16
total athletes competing in 18 Class A events
this Friday and Saturday
at the 2017 WVSSAC
championships being held
at Laidley Field on the
campus of the University
of Charleston in Kanawha
County.
The White Falcons and
Lady Falcons have both
improved on their state
qualifying numbers from
a year ago, when the Red
and White collectively
sent 14 athletes in 15
events en route to a handful of podium (top-six)
performances.
WHS will also enter
its final weekend of the
2017 campaign with an
experienced group as 10
of the 16 state qualifiers
competed at Laidley Field
just last spring.
The White Falcons
have higher overall
prospects this weekend
after landing 11 different
participants in 14 events,
which includes all five
relays at the state competition. Seven of those 11
athletes are also making a
return trip to the Mountain State capital.
Wahama will have its
work cut out if it hopes to
land a single state title or
— for that matter — multiple podium finishes, at
least based on last week’s
regional qualifying results
throughout the state. The
White Falcons enter the
weekend with only four
of the top-10 qualifying
marks in their 14 events.
On paper, Wahama’s
best overall shot for a
podium finish comes from
senior Wyatt Edwards in
the discus event. Edwards
enters Saturday’s final
with the fourth-best qualifying throw at 137 feet, 4
inches.
The quartet of seniors
Mason Hildreth and
James McCormick, junior
Isaiah Pauley, and sophomore Jacob Lloyd enter
the 4x800m relay with
the eighth-fastest time
(8:52.16) in the event.
Sophomore Brodee
Howard owns the ninthbest time in the 110m
hurdles (17.16) and
Hildreth is also 10th
overall in the 3200m run
(10:52.70).
Wahama’s remaining
events are where the real
challenge will unfold as
all 10 competitions are
in the last five spots of
qualifying.
Howard, Edwards,
Lloyd and junior Johnnie
Board own the 12thbest time in the 4x110m
shuttle hurdles relay
(1:07.07), while senior
Travis Kearns also heads
into the 800m run with
the 12th-fastest qualifying
time of 2:09.29.
Lloyd, Board, sophomore Brady Bumgarner
and freshman Abram Pauley own the 13th-fastest
time in the 4x200m relay
(1:38.62), while junior
Bryan Walters/OVP Sports
Wahama sophomore Jacob Lloyd hits full stride during a relay at
the 2017 Paul Wood Invitational held on Friday, March 24, at OVB
Track and Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va.
Christopher Hesson also
has the 13th-best mark
in the shot put at 41 feet,
1.5 inches.
Bumgarner enters both
the 100m (11.92) and
200m (24.39) events with
the 15th-best times, while
Kearns is also 15th overall headed into the long
jump (18-1.75) contest.
The 4x100m squad of
Howard, Kearns, Bumgarner and Abram Pauley
enter the weekend 15th
in qualifying at 47.33 seconds. Lloyd, McCormick,
Edwards and Abram Pauley have the slowest qualifying time in the 4x400m
relay at 3:51.85.
Board will also compete
in the pole vault (8-0)
competition and has one
of the lower qualifying
heights in the field.
The Lady Falcons have
only five athletes participating in four events, but
the Red and White also
have three athletes mak-
ing a return trip to Laidley Field.
The quartet of juniors
Elizabeth Mullins and
Kaleigh Stewart, sophomore Skylar Riffle and
freshman MacKenzie
Barr enter the 4x100m
relay event with the 10thfastest qualifying time of
55.03 seconds. Stewart
also owns the 10th-best
mark headed into the
long jump final (15-0.5)
on Friday.
Barr will be competing
in the pole vault (7-0)
competition and has
one of the lower qualifying heights in the field.
Junior Pia Thomanek also
has the slowest qualifying
time in the 3200m run at
14:19.28.
The 2017 WVSSAC
track and field championships start at 2 p.m.
Friday and will resume at
9 a.m. Saturday.

OAKLAND, Ca. (AP) — The
Golden State Warriors’ rare
unbeaten start this postseason
doesn’t necessarily mean they’re
on their way to a title.
Golden State is just the fifth
NBA team to win its first 10
playoff games in a given postseason. Only two of the four teams
that previously achieved the feat
went on to win the title.
The Warriors aren’t getting
caught up in talk about where
they might rank in history if
they continue this run. They say
they’re focusing on continuing
to get better and the next game
against the San Antonio Spurs
in the Western Conference
finals.
“We feel like we like our
chances against anybody, no
matter (who) is on the court,”
Warriors forward Kevin Durant
said Tuesday night after a 136100 victory over the Spurs, who
played without injured All-Star
forward Kawhi Leonard. “That’s
the confidence we have. But
we’ve got to be ready Game 3.

which would not have significant effects on the environment,
either individually or cumulatively. The certification was submitted by the Division in application for Title IV financial assistance
in reclaiming and restoring land and water resources adversely
affected by past mining. A copy of the certification is available
from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mineral Resources Management, 29371 Wheelabout Road, McArthur, Ohio 45651.
The project covered by this action is titled “Yankee Mine Drain”
(MG-Sb-96) and is located in Fraction 33, Salisbury Township,
Meigs County, Ohio. Acid mine drainage originating from an
abandoned underground mine and collecting in an abandoned
surface mined area has overtopped the spoil and is draining toward a residence on Humphreys Drive. The seepage is saturating the hillside above the home and the crawl space. Minor
movement has occurred on the slope. Work will include the diversion of mine drainage away from the home and installation of
a retaining wall behind the home. All disturbed areas will be
graded and revegetated. This project is 100% federally funded.
If you have any questions or concerns about the project, please
contact Mr. Jim Bishop at the Division's address listed above or
at (614) 265-1094.

Point shooting for Class AA hardware
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— The last time Point
Pleasant competed at the
Class AA level in track
and field, it came away
with three state titles.
The Red and Black
have had only three in the
following four years at the
Class AAA meet.
Needless to say, the
Black Knights and Lady
Knights are glad to have
the program back where
it last was in 2012.
PPHS will have 22
total athletes competing
in 21 Class AA events
this Friday and Saturday
at the 2017 WVSSAC
championships being held
at Laidley Field on the
campus of the University
of Charleston in Kanawha
County.
Both teams have
improved their respective
state qualifying numbers
from a year ago, when
the Red and Black collectively sent 15 athletes
in 14 events en route
to one state championship — Cody Mitchell in
the discus — and several
podium (top-six) performances.
PPHS will also enter
its final weekend of the
2017 campaign with a lot
of first-time participants
as only five of the 22 state
qualifiers competed at
Laidley Field last spring.
The Lady Knights have
higher expectations this
weekend after landing
13 different competitors
in a dozen events, which
includes four of the five
state relays — excluding
the 4x100 shuttle hurdles.
Five of those 13 athletes
are also making a return
trip to the Mountain
State capital.
Senior Aislyn Hayman
— owner of four podium
finishes in six previous
state appearances — will
be aiming for her elusive
first state championship
as she again competes in
both the shot put (40-2)
and discus (132-4) finals.
The Marshall University signee owns the best
qualifying mark headed
into each event Friday.
Sami Saunders has two
chances to earn individual podium honors as the
freshman enters the weekend tied for second in the
high jump (5-4) qualifying and is also fourth-best
in the pole vault (9-0).
Senior Morgan Roush
— a four-year qualifier at
the state level as well —
will be making her third
straight appearance in
the discus and owns the
fourth-best mark of 101
feet, 7 inches.
Sophomores Madison
Hatfield, Teagan Hay and
Sydnee Moore, as well as
freshman Ashley Staats,
have fighting chances at
a podium effort in two
relays. The quartet has
the eighth-best time in
the 4x100m (53.90) event
and the 11th-fastest time
in the 4x200m (1:54.67)
race.
Hatfield has the 10thbest time in the 400m
(1:02.36) dash, while
freshman Grace Allensworth also has the 10thbest mark in the shot
put at 32 feet, 1 inch.
Sophomore Ariat Rollins
also enters the pole vault
final with the 10th-best
qualifying mark of 7 feet,
6 inches.
Sophomores Lexi Watkins-Lovejoy, Allison Henderson and Cierra Beatty,
as well as freshman
Morgan Miller, own the
11th-fastest time in the
4x800m relay (10:58.16)
event. Moore, Hatfield,
Henderson and Miller are

25, at Gallia Academy High School in Centenary, Ohio.
also 12th overall in the
4x400m qualifying with a
time of 4:28.51.
On the boys side of
things, the Black Knights
have nine fresh faces competing in nine competitions — including a trio
of relay events.
Point’s better opportunities, at least based
on qualifying efforts,
will come in individual
contests … particularly in
field events.
Sophomore Eddi Mayes
had the sixth-best throw
in the shot put (44-0.5)
and junior Jesse Gleason
owns the sixth-best heave
in the discus (136-5) to
go along with a 12thlongest effort in the shot
put (42-1).
Freshman Steven Trent
is also tied with two others for sixth in the pole
vault competition after
posting identical marks of
10 feet, 6 inches.
Sophomore Luke
Wilson owns the ninthfastest time in the 3200m
run (10:22.71) and is
also 10th overall in the
1600m run with a mark of
4:48.93.
Juniors Justin Brumfield, Justin Staats
and Keshawn Stover,
as well as sophomore
Cason Payne, own the
eighth-fastest time in the
4x100m relay (46.54).
Freshmen Brady
Adkins, Jared Icenhower
and Peyton Hughes,
as well as junior Wyatt
Dean, are 15th overall
in the 4x800m (9:43.13)
qualifying, while Payne,
Trent, Icenhower and
Stover have the slowest
time in the 4x400m relay
(3:50.75) event.
The 2017 WVSSAC
track and field championships start at 2 p.m.
Friday and will resume at
9 a.m. Saturday.

Celtics win NBA draft lottery, Lakers at No. 2 keep pick
NEW YORK (AP) — The Celtics won by beating out the Lakers,
giving the draft lottery an old NBA
Finals feel.
Yet, obvious by Magic Johnson’s
smile, the hated rivals were both
celebrating.
The Celtics won the lottery
Tuesday night to continue another
amazing basketball springtime in
Boston, capitalizing on a trade
they made with the Brooklyn Nets
four years ago.
A night after winning Game 7
against Washington to secure an
Eastern Conference finals matchup
with Cleveland, the Celtics cashed
in their 25-percent chance to land
the No. 1 pick in the June draft.
“Game last night, Game 7, a
tough Washington team. Game
tomorrow against a tough Cleveland team. And now we squeeze in
the lottery and win the pick. I don’t
know what’s happening here. It’s
pretty amazing,” said Wyc Grousbeck, a Celtics owner who represented them on stage.
The Lakers moved up one spot
to second to hold onto their pick.
They would have had to trade it
to Philadelphia if it fell outside the
top three.
“When (Deputy Commissioner
Mark Tatum) called out No. 4 and
he said it wasn’t us, I said ‘Um,
that’s it, that’s all I care about,’”
said Johnson, the Hall of Famer in
his first year as Lakers president. “I
didn’t know where we were going
to land from there, but I was like
‘OK, I can breathe now.’”
The Celtics finished dismantling
the team that beat the Lakers to
win the 2008 championship when
they traded Paul Pierce and Kevin
Garnett to Brooklyn on the night
of the 2013 draft.
Boston acquired the Nets’ 2014,
2016 and 2018 first-round picks, as
well as the rights to swap in 2017.
The timing was perfect for the
Celtics, as Brooklyn finished with
the worst record in the league.
“And look what I leave behind for
the Celts on my way out (No. 1)
pick,” Pierce wrote on Twitter.
The 76ers will pick third, while
Phoenix fell two spots and is
fourth.
“I’m excited,” 76ers rookie center Joel Embiid said. “We jumped
up one more spot. I wish we would
have gotten the No. 1 pick, but we
trust the process and it’s going to
be exciting to see what we’re going
for.”
The Celtics were going to be in
prime position no matter how the
Ping-Pong balls bounced in a hotel
ballroom Tuesday.
They were guaranteed no worse
than the No. 4 pick to add to a
team that had the best record in
the East this season behind AllStar Isaiah Thomas.
“It’s two completely different
situations: One is a lot about the
future, and one is in the present,”
Celtics president Danny Ainge
said. “This team is a lot of fun to
be around this year.”
Their victory made it three
straight years the team with the
best odds has won the lottery, after
going the previous decade without
a victory.
Minnesota snapped that streak
by getting eventual Rookie of the
Year Karl-Anthony Towns in 2015
and Philadelphia emerged with Ben
Simmons last season.
The draft is considered a strong
one, loaded with point guards such
as Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball and
De’Aaron Fox.
Though the Celtics already have
a top point guard in Thomas,
Grousbeck said he expected they
would make the pick.
And the Lakers will get a chance
to take one of them after beating
the odds to move up.
They had about a 53 percent
chance of falling out of the top
three, which would have triggered
a trade of the pick as remaining
payment of their acquisition of
Steve Nash in 2012.
Not only that, but they would
have had to trade their 2019 firstround pick to Orlando if that happened, so Johnson was all smiles
even after finishing behind the
rival Celtics.
A late five-game winning streak
by his young team had damaged
its odds by falling behind Phoenix
for the second-worst record in the
league.
“You see, you don’t know what’s
been going on in L.A. They’ve been
like ‘Oh my god, we blew it,’” Johnson said. “We won five in a row
and everybody thought we were
crazy. So now the fans back home
can breathe a little easier.”
Sacramento actually moved up
into the top three, but the 76ers
had the right to swap with them
through terms of a past trade.
The Kings will select fifth and
10th.
Orlando is sixth, followed by
Minnesota, New York and Dallas.
Charlotte is No. 11, with Detroit,
Denver and Miami rounding out
the 14 lottery spots.
Warriors trounce
Spurs without Leonard
for 2-0 series lead
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Steve Kerr provided
a strong message, just not from his usual spot on
the bench: Play with urgency from the opening tip
this time.
The Golden State Warriors did just that for their
ailing coach watching from the locker room, and
left Gregg Popovich questioning and criticizing his
Spurs players for a lack of belief and feeling sorry
for themselves without injured superstar Kawhi
Leonard.
Stephen Curry had 29 points, seven rebounds
and seven assists in three quarters and the Warriors trounced on the short-handed Spurs, running
away from San Antonio for a 136-100 rout Tuesday night and a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.
Kevin Durant added 16 points and Draymond
Green provided another impressive all-around
performance with 13 points, nine rebounds, six
assists, two steals and two blocks.
Rookie Patrick McCaw had 18 points and five
assists off the bench shooting 6 for 8 as Golden
State earned its second-most lopsided postseason
victory ever to go to 10-0.
“That’s just been the message all year, just play
with urgency and start the game off with some
energy and throw the first punch,” Durant said.
“Unlike Game 1 we did that tonight. We know
they’re a little undermanned but they still play
extremely hard, so we knew we couldn’t come out
here and relax and think they were just going to
give us the game. We had to go take it.”
The 36-point Warriors’ win is second to a
39-point victory for Philadelphia at St. Louis on
April 6, 1948.
Jonathon Simmons scored 17 of his 22 points in
the first half as the lone bright spot for the Spurs.
“It looked pretty collective to me. I don’t think
it was one guy who didn’t believe and he infected
everybody else or anything like that. As a group
they just let themselves down,” Popovich said.
“The truth always quote-un-quote sets you free.
You can’t sugarcoat it or say ‘if we had just made
a couple shots we’d have been right there. That’s
pretty lame. So, call it like it is. We didn’t come to
play. We felt sorry for ourselves. We need to get
slapped and come back and play Game 3 and see
who we are.”
Leonard re-injured his left ankle in Sunday’s
113-111 Game 1 loss after coming down on Zaza
Pachulia’s foot.
Popovich on Monday called out the Warriors
starting center for the “dangerous” and “unsportsmanlike” closeout — which had Pachulia insisting
he is not a dirty player, was only playing hard, and
felt badly that the All-Star forward was injured.
Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday in
San Antonio.
Pachulia left the game injured for a Warriors
team already without key reserve forward Andre
Iguodala, held out because of soreness in his left
knee that limited him to 10 minutes in Game 1.
An X-ray on Pachulia’s bruised right heel was
clear but he was scheduled for an MRI on Wednesday.
Golden State quickly established its pass-happy,
up-tempo style to take the Spurs out from the
opening tip.
It was a drastic difference from a game of catchup two days earlier when the Warriors rallied from
25 down and a 20-point halftime deficit.
The bench contributed a season-best 63 points.
“They came out with a sense of urgency from
the beginning and they played that way for 48
minutes,” acting Warriors coach Mike Brown said.
Klay Thompson, still struggling to find his
steady shooting touch, had 11 points, six rebounds
and four assists.
The Warriors had 39 assists — the most by any
team this postseason — including 30 on their initial 38 baskets.
Shaun Livingston scored in double figures for
the first time this postseason with 10 points for
Golden State.
Simmons started in Leonard’s place and made 6
of 9 shots to begin the game while the rest of the
Spurs were 3 for 22.
LEONARD’S STATUS
Popovich wasn’t about to guess whether Leonard would return in time for Saturday’s game, saying it could be Friday or even game day before that
would be determined.
“I have no idea. Just depends on how the ankle
heals,” Popovich said. “I’d probably list him as
questionable. But the thing that worries me is
that he did it again, the exact same thing. So one
would logically think maybe it will take longer,
but I’m hoping that’s not true and we’ll have him
for Game 3. But I don’t know. I don’t think we’re
going to know until Friday and Saturday, probably.”
TIP-INS
Spurs: The Spurs had 23 offensive rebounds
after 14 in Game 1. … Patty Mills, playing in place
of the injured Tony Parker, had another quiet
night. After he went 1 for 8 and missed all six of
his 3s in the first game, he finally hit from long
range midway through the second Tuesday.
CFP title game adds halftime concert, but bands will play on
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press
The College Football Playoff is bringing a Super Bowl-style halftime show to
the national championship game without bumping the marching bands.
ESPN and the College Football Playoff
say that a musical guest will perform at
halftime of this season’s title game in
Atlanta on Jan. 8, 2018, and the performance will be aired on ESPN. The halftime concert will be held in Centennial
Olympic Park, near the new Mercedes-
Benz Stadium. An artist has not yet
been booked, but ESPN is taking the
lead on securing what it hopes will be
an A-list performer with broad appeal.
For years the Super Bowl has featured
marquee artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce’, U2 and Prince perform-
ing at halftime.
The marching bands for each participating school will still perform in the
stadium at halftime of the national title
game and that performance will be aired
on an ESPN channel to be determined
as part of the network’s megacast.
