Remembering Meigs County’s place in history
Editor’s Note: Coverage of

Day ceremonies and events
from around the county will

courthouse.

POMEROY — Pomeroy’s
Memorial Day events opened
on Saturday as the Sons of
Union Veterans held a ceremony on the courthouse steps.
Tom Gallaway, Commander
of the Brooks-Grant Camp,
said the yearly ceremony was
the group’s commemoration
for those who have died in
military service for the United

States.
The hour long program
included a lecture by historian
John Haas of the Ohio History
Connection and period music
performed by re-enactors.
Haas introduced himself
“I’ve worked at the Ohio History Connection since 1989 as
a reference archivist and military history specialist,” and
delivered an overview of Meigs
County’s contributions to the
military history of the United
States.
“Ohio has had a major
historical role, from the Revolutionary War to modern conﬂicts,” he said, summarizing
the numbers of men Ohio has
sent to ﬁght — and die —
dating back to even before it

became a state.
Through his research, Haas
conﬁrmed over 1,750 Civil
War Veterans of Meigs County,
serving in 17 different units.
The monument adjacent the
courthouse lists Meigs residents killed in action during
the Civil War, and Haas said
newspaper records claimed
5,000 people attended the
1870 dedication.
Local military actions Morgan’s Raid and the Battle of
Bufﬁngton Island were also
covered in the lecture, including the lesser known Morgan’s
Raid Claims Commission,
which awarded $46,000 to
Meigs residents for damage

RACINE — “All of us
on the stage here tonight
owe an unpayable debt
to those in the audience
who have been our parents, friends, mentors
and teachers. I would
like to thank each and
every one of you here for
helping us realize our full
potential, for without you
my friends and I would
not be here tonight,”
said Valedictorian Daniel
Dunfee.
“To our families, thank
you for everything you
have done for us. You
created us, forged our
core values, morals and
ethics, and molded us
into who and what you
thought best for the
world. You supported
us in the rough times,
carried us through the
nightmares, cheered us
on in the good times, and
loved us through them
all,” said Dunfee.
Dunfee asked his fellow graduates to rise.
“Behind me you see
the product of the families here tonight. They
stand as living, breathing testaments to the
ability of their parents
and grandparents,” said
Dunfee.
“To the teachers, you
are our second parents.

Valedictorian Daniel Dunfee and Salutatorian Sierra Cleland

You encouraged us,
taught us and pushed us
beyond all imaginable
limits. The lessons we
have learned from you
will not only allow us to
better ourselves though
education, but better the
world through understanding, comprehension and compassion,”
said Dunfee. “You have
molded the next generation of leaders, and we
will do our best to make
you proud of the work
you have done.”
Dunfee then turned
to his classmates on the
stage.
“To my class, we ﬁnally made it,” said Dunfee.

“We stand at the end of
one race to ﬁnd a marathon ahead of us. One
chapter of our lives has
ended, but a completely
new chapter of life is
yet to be written. The
authors are you,” said
Dunfee.
The valedictorian
continued, “Carpe diem.
Seize each day as if it
were the last you had.
Plan for the worst, hope
for the best and never
give up that hope. When
Pandora’s Box was
opened, all that remained
was hope, and sometimes, faith and hope
really are all that we have
to go on.”

“We have come a long
way since the ﬁrst day
of kindergarten; we have
grown in stature, maturity and most importantly
in knowledge. We have
been tested beyond all
conceivable limits, and
we have pulled through
where others have stumbled and fallen,” said
Dunfee.
Dunfee noted that
while he and his classmates have made it this
far, the race is not ﬁnished.
“Be gracious, and be
kind, but most important
of all, be wise in the
choices you make. They

False alarm: Fire department responds to possible body in the water, driftwood located

Sarah Hawley and Davie Harris photos

Firefighters with the Middleport Fire Department, along with Meigs County EMS and Middleport Police
Department, were called to the Middleport boat levy on Sunday evening after those in the area had
spotted what was a possible body floating down the river in the area. After the rescue boat was put
in the water, first responders located a large piece of driftwood which matched what was described.

Memories, youth mark Mother’s Day at Middleport
First Baptist Church
Vinton observance
By Kevin Kelly
Special to the Tribune

VINTON — Think
of such far-flung
places as Gettysburg,
Antietam, Pearl Harbor or Corregidor, and
you cannot help but be
reminded of them as
locations where American lives were taken
in defense of freedom,
the guest speaker at
Sunday’s Memorial
Day ceremony in Vinton Memorial Park
told a receptive audience.
“When you think
of these things, you
get more of an understanding of what it’s
all about,” said Patrick
Stout, a member of
American Legion Post
161 of Vinton, which
with its Women’s Auxiliary organizes the
annual ceremony. “It
makes you think of the
1.2 million who gave
their lives.”
A retired educator and principal of
River Valley High
School, Stout said the
Memorial Day holiday
allows time to reflect
on the meaning of the
ultimate sacrifice to
preserve a way of life
for their families and
friends. Memories of
past celebrations and
other keys in our daily

Submitted

existence remind us of
an obligation to honor
those men and women
who left their families
and dreams to defend
those qualities of life
for others, he added.
“We hope this
teaches us the value of
sacrifice, the courage
it takes to leave home
and go to a foreign
country,” Stout said.
“These are constant
reminders of the sacrifice of so many.”
A feature of the
celebration was the
participation of local
students now starting
their summer break,
pausing to lend a hand
to the proceedings.
“The Star Spangled
Banner” was sung by
RVHS student Josie
Jones and Lydia Jones,
who starts at River
Valley Middle School
when classes resume
in August. “I Am the
Flag” was recited by
Ruth Rickett, and a
Memorial Day tribute
was read by Rebecca
Pearson.
Instructions for
the ceremonial flag
folding were read
by Sydnee Runyon,
while participants in
the exercise included
John Santos, Thomas
Stout, Mason Rhodes,
Ethan Schultz, Kade
Alderman and Kaden

Thornton. Reading
aloud the roll call
of major wars were
Lexi and Abby Stout,
Bryleigh Saxon, Kristen Campbell, John
and Abigail Siciliano,
Abigail Kirk, Katie
Stout, Madison and
Carson Hollanbaugh,
Preston Retmire and
Ava McClure. All were
volunteers from RVMS
and Vinton Elementary School.
Post 161 Chaplain
Bob Mitchell provided the invocation
and benediction for
the ceremony, and a
wreath was placed at
the cemetery’s flag
base by the post’s auxiliary. Don Holcomb
read aloud Lincoln’s
Gettysburg Address,
with John Holcomb
performing “Taps” to
help close the event.
The 21-gun salute was
provided by members
of Post 161.
In welcoming the
audience, Post Commander Bob McCarley thanked such
groups as Beta Club,
4-H, Vinton Masonic
Lodge 131 and others
for helping to stage
the ceremony. Those
individuals’ “good
participation makes
things easier in the
community,” McCarley added.

MIDDLEPORT —
On Friday, May 12, the
annual Mother’s Day
Banquet was held at the

life-long member of the
church, sang Broken
Hallelujah. Aubree’s
mother, Trudy Lyons
had previously introduced both Allen and
Aubree.

Bend Area Gospel Jubilee to return
By Mindy Kearns
Special to the Register

COTTAGEVILLE —
Over 30 Christian artists
and groups will converge
at the Jackson County
Junior Fairgrounds in Cottageville, June 5-10, for
the 27th annual Bend Area
Gospel Jubilee.
Held rain or shine, the
event will kick off with a
potluck dinner at 5 p.m.
on Monday, and end Saturday with singers mostly
coming from Indiana and
Tennessee, according to
Promoter Evelyn Roush of
New Haven.
Those attending will also
see a few changes this year.
Tuesday’s service will be
an unstructured time of
worship that will kick off
the following four days,
Roush said.
“God has wakened my
memory of the good ol’
fashioned meetings when
I was a child,” she said.
“People just came to worship, carrying in their
instruments, and no particular group was scheduled to sing. Everyone just
obeyed what God led them
to do.”
There will also be a
memorial service Tuesday
for Bill McCallister, who
died May 8. McCallister
was the Jubilee camping
attendant who, among
other things, transported
the elderly up and down
the fairground banks on his
golf cart. As per his wishes, McCallister’s daughter

Wednesday will be the
ﬁrst day of scheduled singers, with nine groups and
soloists set to take the
stage. Included among
them will be singers from
as far as Lebanon, TN, and
as close as Charleston, WV.
Another change for this
year’s Jubilee will be going
from the usual “tag team”
preaching to one speaker
on Wednesday. Roush said
preaching will be by Rev.
Ray Parsons at 7 p.m.
Thursday through Saturday will ﬁnd singers coming from North Carolina,
Ohio, Virginia, Indiana,
and Tennessee, as well

as West Virginia. Singing
will begin at 5 p.m. each
evening.
Admission to the Jubilee
is free, and those attending are asked to register
at the welcome table to
be eligible for daily gift
drawings. The singers’
stage and seating will be
under shelter. Bleachers

Brittany Jacobs, left, and her 6-year-old son Christian Jacobs

in Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery on Monday in
Arlington, Va. Jacobs father, Marine Sgt. Christopher Jacobs,
was killed in 2011.

Trump honors
fallen and families
on Memorial Day
By Darlene Superville
Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Va.
— President Donald
Trump on Monday
expressed the nation’s
“boundless” gratitude
for the ultimate sacriﬁce paid by Americans
in defense of the United States, dedicating
his ﬁrst Memorial Day
address as commander
in chief to a top Cabinet secretary and two
other families who lost
loved ones.
Participating in the
somber, annual observance at Arlington
National Cemetery,
Trump recounted the
stories of Green Beret
Capt. Andrew D. Byers
of Colorado Springs
and Christopher D.
Horton of the Oklahoma National Guard as
Byers’ tearful parents
and Horton’s emotional widow looked on.
Trump also singled
out for special mention
Homeland Security
Secretary John Kelly, a
retired Marine lieutenant general whose son,
Robert, also a Marine,
was killed after he
stepped on a land
mine while on patrol in
southern Afghanistan
in November 2010.
Trump addressed
Gold Star families,
those that have lost
loved service members: “They each had
their own names, their
own stories, their own
beautiful dreams. But
they were all angels
sent to us by God and
they all share one title
in common and that is
the title of hero, real
heroes.”
“Though they were
here only a brief time
before God called them
home, their legacy will
endure forever,” Trump
said.
Horton, a sniper
sent to Afghanistan
in 2011, died in a gun
battle with the Taliban near the Pakistan
border three months
into his deployment.
Byers was on his
third combat tour
and, Trump said, ran
through smoke and a
hail of bullets to rescue an Afghan soldier
when he was killed last
November.
Secretary Kelly’s
other son, Johnny, is
getting ready for his
ﬁfth military deployment. A son-in-law,
Jake, is a wounded
warrior.
Trump also recognized former U.S.
senator and GOP presidential nominee Bob
Dole, 93, who suffered
lifelong injuries during World War II. He
attended the ceremony
along with his wife,
Elizabeth Dole, also a
former U.S. senator.
“As we honor the
brave warriors who
gave their lives for

ours, spending their
last moments on this
earth in defense of this
country and of its people, words cannot measure the depth of their
devotion, the purity of
their love or the totality of their courage,”
Trump said.
“We only hope that
every day we can
prove worthy not only
of their sacriﬁce and
service, but of the
sacriﬁce made by the
families and loved ones
they left behind. Special, special people,” he
said.
Before the remarks,
Trump laid a wreath
at the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier,
holding his hands on
it for a long moment
before stepping away.
He then rested his
hand on his heart as a
bugler played “Taps.”
Stepping to the
microphone to deliver
the address, Trump
seemed to relish the
warm welcome from
the audience gathered
in the sun-splashed
amphitheater. Trump
has been feeling particularly aggrieved in
recent weeks by federal and congressional
investigations into
contacts between his
associates and Russian
government ofﬁcials,
including news reports
that Jared Kushner,
his son-in-law and top
White House adviser,
proposed establishing
secret back-channel
communications with
Russia during the presidential transition.
The president was
accompanied to Arlington cemetery by Vice
President Mike Pence,
Defense Secretary
Jim Mattis and Gen.
Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, as well as a
slew of advisers and
Cabinet secretaries,
including veterans’
chief David Shulkin
and housing chief Ben
Carson.
After the address,
Trump visited a section of the cemetery
for U.S. service members killed in the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars.
The White House said
Trump visited the
gravesite of Kelly’s son,
Robert, who was laid
to rest in Section 60.
Asked what meaning
Memorial Day held for
him, Kelly said: “Sad.”
Accompanied by
Pence, Trump walked
brieﬂy among the
white marble headstones and greeted
families, including
Brittany Jacobs and
her 6-year-old son,
Christian, who was
dressed like a Marine.
Jacobs’ father, Marine
Sgt. Christopher
Jacobs, died during a
training accident in
California in 2011.

Monster mash: LeBron James undaunted by beastly Warriors

Elise Amendola | AP

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) trades high-fives Thursday with
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving (2) during the first half of Game 5 of the
NBA basketball Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics in Boston.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio
(AP) — There’s a four-headed,
shot-making, scoreboardbreaking monster out West
awaiting LeBron James and the
Cavaliers.
The Warriors are stomachchurning scary.
James, though, can’t run or
hide.
With eight NBA Finals
appearances under his belt,
he is ready to face a team he’s
called “a beast.”
After all, he has slayed behemoths before.
Pushing off any talk about
the Warriors until after Sunday’s practice, James was asked
to assess the task at hand:
beating Golden State’s AllStar-studded lineup of Kevin
Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay
Thompson and Draymond

Green.
Is this the biggest challenge
of his career?
“It’s probably up there,” he
said. “I mean, it’s up there.”
And then, almost as if he was
trying to remind himself that
he’s got three championship
rings and is frightful in his own
right, James recalled other fearsome postseason opponents —
San Antonio and Boston.
“I’ve played against four
Hall of Famers as well, too,
with Manu (Ginobili), Kawhi
(Leonard), Tony (Parker) and
Timmy D (Tim Duncan) on
the same team,” said James,
occasionally snifﬂing as he
continues to ﬁght a cold. “And
if you add Pop (coach Gregg
Popovich) in there, that’s ﬁve
Hall of Famers. So, it’s going
to be very challenging. Those

guys are going to challenge me,
they’re going to challenge our
ballclub.
“This is a high-powered
team.”
James also took on a Celtics
team loaded with big-name
talents.
“I’ve played against Ray
(Allen), KG (Kevin Garnett),
Paul (Pierce), (Rajon) Rondo
and Doc (Rivers). So, it’s going
to be very challenging not only
on me mentally, but on our
ballclub and on our franchise.”
Cleveland-Golden State 3.0
is the matchup fans worldwide
expected and wanted, and
James believes they’re in for
quite a show.
Both the Cavaliers and Warriors have upgraded their rosters from a year ago, when they

Dillon earns 1st win
at Coca-Cola 600
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Hall of Fame car
owner Richard Childress ﬁnally let the emotions
ﬂow when he looked up at the Charlotte Motor
Speedway’s scoring board after the Coca-Cola 600
and saw the iconic No. 3 — driven by his grandson Austin Dillon — on top.
“Can you believe it?” Childress asked. “The
Coke 600, Austin Dillon and the (No.) 3.”
Dillon passed an out-of-gas Jimmie Johnson two
laps from the end for his ﬁrst Cup victory.
It had been a long time coming for the number
made famous by the late Dale Earnhardt, who
drove for Childress during six of his seven championships.
The last time the two celebrated was when
Earnhardt won at Talladega on Oct. 15, 2000, four
months before The Intimidator’s death in a horriﬁc crash at Daytona.
“Today is special,” Childress said.
Especially with how Dillon accomplished it.
Crew chief Justin Alexander decided that while
much of the ﬁeld would pit with about 35 to
go, Dillon would stay out and gamble he’d have
enough fuel to make it.
“It didn’t make much sense to do anything else
but that, really,” Alexander said.
When Dillon saw Johnson run dry right ahead,
he felt relieved and excited all at once.
The No. 3, Dillon said, “was the best of all time.
I’m just glad to add to the legacy of it.”
Dillon held off Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr.,
who led the most laps in the Coca-Cola 600 for a
third straight year.
“It hasn’t sunk in. I can’t believe it,” Dillon said.
“We’re in the chase, baby. It’s awesome.”
Dillon did his signature belly slide celebration
in the damp grass at Charlotte, outlasting a rain
delay of nearly 1 hour, 40 minutes — and several
established drivers to take his ﬁrst checkered ﬂag.
Dillon closed racing’s biggest day with the surprise victory, following Sebastian Vettel’s win in
Formula One’s Monaco Grand Prix and Takura
Sato’s victory in the Indy 500.
Truex took the lead for the ﬁnal time with 67
laps left, sweeping past Busch to move out front.
Truex pitted a ﬁnal time with 33 laps left, conﬁdent he’d be able to hold on after everyone cycled
through a last stop.
Truex has led 756 of the past 1,200 laps in the
600, yet ﬁnished shy of the checker ﬂag two of
three times. “So that’s a little tough to swallow,”
he said.
Matt Kenseth was fourth, and Denny Hamlin
ﬁfth.
Kurt Busch ﬁnished sixth, followed by rookie
Erik Jones, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Newman and
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who ﬁnished 10th in his ﬁnal
Coca-Cola 600 as a fulltime driver.
Harvick, who started on the pole, overcame
wheel problems to ﬁnish in the top 10 for a seventh straight time in the Coca-Cola 600.
Johnson limped home to ﬁnish in 17th.
“I did all that I could from that point and just
came up a little bit short,” he said.
Harvick may have had to work harder than the
rest of the ﬁeld for his seventh straight top 10
here.
Harvick dealt with a loose-ﬁtting wheel much of
the ﬁrst 200 laps to fall a lap down, then slipped
on some slick ﬂuid laid down by Ty Dillon to fall
back further.
But Harvick, who won here in 2011 and 2013,
held strong to end in eighth.
Larson, the series points leader coming in, was

Meigs sophomore Taylor Swartz placed eighth in the girls long
jump as part of Saturday’s Division II Region 7 track and field meet
at Athens High School’s Rutter Field.

Swartz, by placing
eighth in the long jump
with a best leap of
16-feet and nine inches
on her ﬁnal of her three
ﬁnals jumps, scored a
single point.
For Gallia Academy,
senior Madi Oiler is
“three-peating” to the
state meet in the Division II girls 300m hurdles — after her regional
runner-up performance.
Oiler — after a sixthplace ﬁnish in the state
two years ago — ended
up with a time of 44.53
seconds on Saturday,
trailing only junior Karlie
Zumbro (44.25) of John

Lester landed the

But Lester won’t be
the only Blue Devil in the
800m run — as fellow
senior Kaleb Crisenbery

This will be Crisenbery’s ﬁrst — and ﬁnal
— time advancing to the
state as an individual.
He ﬁnished fourth at

Underdog Cavs insist
they have plenty of
bite for Finals
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Vegas is betting
against them and the bookies are hardly alone.
Let’s be honest, not many are giving the Cleveland
Cavaliers much of a chance in the NBA Finals.
They may be defending champions and they may
have LeBron James, but against Golden State, they
are deﬁnite underdogs.
Just don’t try to tell them that.
“The whole underdog thing is funny to me,
because yeah, at the end of the day we are defending
our title,” Cavs forward Kevin Love said following
Saturday’s practice. “We’re trying to repeat, which is
so hard to do. I think we will use it as fuel. We will
use it as motivation, but the idea of playing into it?
It’s tough for me to say that is the case. I don’t feel
like we’re underdogs.
“We match up well with them and I think they’d
say the same about us.”
Maybe, but as the teams gear up for Thursday
night’s series opener in Oakland, comments made by
Warriors forward Draymond Green in October are
reverberating around Cleveland.
Still stinging after the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead
in last year’s Finals against Cleveland, the vociferous Green, who was suspended from Game 5, said
if given the chance again, he plans to “destroy and
annihilate” the Cavs.
Love complimented Green’s competitiveness and
aimed a verbal volley at Northern California.
“He’s a guy who said he wanted us,” Love said,
“and he has us — starting next Thursday.”
Act III in this trilogy is overloaded with story
lines, with the biggest being whether James and
Co. have enough ﬁrepower to go toe-to-toe with the
Warriors, who added superstar Kevin Durant to a
team that won 73 games a year ago before its Finals
ﬂameout.
Golden State has glowed in this postseason,
becoming the ﬁrst team to start 12-0 while winning
by an average of 16.3 points per game — the highest
margin league history.
It’s no wonder then that the wise guys have
installed the Warriors as heavy favorites to beat the
Cavs for the second time in three years and wrestle
back the Larry O’Brien Trophy that slipped through
their hands last June.
James referred to the Warriors as only “that juggernaut” and “a beast” following Thursday’s Game 5 in
at Boston, a night in which he passed Michael Jordan
as the career postseason scoring leader.
James elected not to talk about the Warriors following the game, choosing instead to celebrate a
third straight conference title in Cleveland and his
seventh consecutive Finals trip.
James didn’t speak to reporters on Saturday either,
leaving Love to serve as the team’s unofﬁcial spokesman as the sports world inched closer to a matchup
that seemed destined from the moment last season’s
Finals ended.
Love was asked if the Cavs wanted the Warriors.
“Want the Warriors?” he said. “They’ve been right
at the top, best team in the league for three years
straight now. They’ve been super-impressive. It’s
kind of in our minds that that’s who we were going to
see. They played great basketball this year. Obviously
adding an MVP to a team that already has a two-time
MVP makes them even more impressive. It’s tough to
say that we didn’t expect it; we knew they’d be right
there.”
After the team returned from Boston in the wee
hours Friday morning, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue didn’t
go to bed and immediately began working on a game
plan to stiﬂe Golden State’s powerful, multi-faceted
offense.
Lue knows the Cavs are facing a difﬁcult task,
one made tougher with the addition of the versatile
Durant, who can score down low, from the perimeter
and free-throw line.
The Warriors are using Durant the way he envisioned, but Lue has noticed changes in the All-Star.
“He’s moving around a lot more,” he said. “Just
watching him move without the basketball, getting
easy baskets off of cuts and splits and when he passes
the ball he’s also relocating now. He’s doing a lot
more movement, which makes it even tougher to
guard after being one of the tougher scorers I’ve ever
seen.”
Lue said didn’t deliver any inspiring speech to his
players before practice.
Words don’t mean much now — not his, not
Green’s — and neither do underdog labels.
“We’re not going to use that as motivation,” Lue
said. “We’re in the NBA Finals. That’s enough motivation alone. Not worry about what it says in Vegas
or what people are saying about underdogs. We’re
not using that as an excuse. We’ve got to come out
and play. Our goals were set at the beginning of the
season, and that’s to win a championship. So, that’s
what we’re focused on.”
And remember, the Cavs have overcome long odds
before.

Sato holds off Helio to give Andretti another win
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— At the end of 500
miles around Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it
was a former Formula
One driver who took the
checkered ﬂag.
He even drove for
Andretti Autosport.
It just wasn’t Fernando
Alonso.
Takuma Sato became
the ﬁrst Japanese winner of the Indianapolis
500 on Sunday when
he denied Helio Castroneves a record-tying
fourth victory as the two
traded the lead in the
closing laps.
“I know Helio is
always going to charge,”
Sato said. “But he’s just
such a gentleman and
such a fair player.”
The Andretti family has struggled for
decades to win this
race, but as a car owner,
Michael Andretti certainly knows the way to
victory lane.
Sato’s victory gave
Andretti a second consecutive win in “The
Greatest Spectacle in
Racing.”
An Andretti driver has
now won the 500 three
times in the last four
years, and ﬁve times
overall dating to 2005
with the late Dan Wheldon.
Last year, it was with
rookie Alexander Rossi.
This time it is with
Sato, who joined the
team just this season
and had largely been
overlooked at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Andretti camp
expanded to six cars for
the 500 to add Alonso,
a two-time F1 champion
who brought massive
European interest to the
race.
Six cars never seemed
to spread the team too
thin, and the main issue
facing Andretti Autosport was the reliability
of its Honda engines.
Alonso put on a thrilling show and even led
27 laps — third most
in the race — but he
was sent to the paddock
when his engine blew
with 20 laps remaining.
“We didn’t build the
thing that was smoking
down the front straight,”
said McLaren boss Zak
Brown, who engineered
Alonso’s trip to Indianapolis.
Part of the reason
Alonso was able to skip
F1’s showcase Monaco
Grand Prix earlier Sunday for Indy is because
the McLaren team —

turn during the running of the Indianapolis 500 Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

and its Hondas — have
grossly underperformed
this season and Alonso
is not a current title contender.
Alonso did have a
spectacular race and
simply fell victim to his
engine late in the race.
The crowd gave the
Spaniard a standing ovation as he climbed from
his car.
“I felt the noise, the
engine friction, I backed
off and I saw the smoke
and, yeah, it’s a shame,”
Alonso said. “It’s a very
nice surprise to come
here with big names, big
guys, the best in openwheel racing and be
competitive.”
He still drank from a
carton of milk to close
out his experience at
Indy, and didn’t rule out
a potential return.
“The last two weeks,
I came here basically to
prove myself, to challenge myself,” Alonso
said. “I know that I can
be as quick as anyone in
an F1 car. I didn’t know
if I can be as quick as
anyone in an Indy car.”
The Honda teams
had a clear horsepower
advantage over Chevrolet, but things were
dicey in Indy for more
than a week and certainly on race day.
Before Alonso’s failure, 2014 winner Ryan
Hunter-Reay lost his
Honda and so did Charlie Kimball.
Hunter-Reay led 28
laps and was a strong
contender late.
“I’m really happy for
Honda. They worked
really hard to get us
here,” said Andretti. “I
know how big this news
is going to be tomorrow
when they wake up in
Japan. It’s going to be
huge. I’m really happy

for them, that we were
able to give them a win
with our Japanese driver
here.”
Added Sato about the
popularity of his victory
in Japan: “This is going
to be mega big. A lot of
the Japanese fans are
following the IndyCar
Series and many, many
ﬂew over for the Indianapolis 500. We showed
the great result today
and I am very proud of
it.”
In a Chevrolet for
Team Penske, Castroneves brieﬂy took the
lead but couldn’t make
it stick as Sato grabbed
it back.
Castroneves was disappointed to fall short
of the four-time winners
club — particularly since
it was his third runnerup ﬁnish.
“Being second again
sucks, being so close to
getting my fourth,” Castroneves said. “I’m really
trying. I’m not giving up
this dream and I know
it’s going to happen.”
The margin of victory
was 0.2011 seconds and
the win was redemption
for Sato, who crashed
while trying to beat
Dario Franchitti on the
ﬁnal lap of the 2012
race.
A joyful Sato dumped
a bottle of 2 percent milk
over his head, received
a kiss from the Indy 500
Princess and raised his
ﬁnger in the air.
Michael Andretti ran
down pit lane to reach
Sato’s crew, then rushed
to hug his driver.
As for the difference
between 2012, when
Sato crashed in the ﬁrst
turn of the ﬁnal lap racing Franchitti, Sato said
his strategy this year
was perfect.
“I was pointing in

the right direction into
(Turn) One,” said Sato,
who was congratulated in victory lane by
Franchitti.
It was only the second
IndyCar victory for Sato,
who won driving for
A.J. Foyt in Long Beach
in 2013 — a span of 74
races.
Ed Jones ﬁnished a
career-best third and was
followed by Max Chilton
and Tony Kanaan, the
highest ﬁnishers for
Chip Ganassi Racing.
Two-time winner Juan
Pablo Montoya was
sixth.
Honda drivers took six
of the top 10 ﬁnishing
positions.
Pole sitter Scott
Dixon, already having a
rough week because he
was robbed at gunpoint
at Taco Bell hours after
turning the fastest qualifying effort in 21 years,
was knocked out of the
race in a terrifying crash
in which his car sailed
through the air and landed cockpit-ﬁrst atop the
inside safety fence.
Dixon’s car was split
in two amid sparks and
ﬂames.
The tub of the car
remained intact and the
2008 champion was able
to climb out on his own
to a roar from the crowd.
He walked to a waiting ambulance while the
race was placed under
red ﬂag and crews began
to clean up debris scattered over hundreds
of feet in the accident
caused when Dixon’s car
collided with that of Jay
Howard.
“Just a little beaten up
there. It was deﬁnitely a
rough ride,” Dixon said.
“We had a great shot.
We had gotten a little
loose but they had dialed
it in.”

Rory McIlroy skipping
Memorial because of rib injury
DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Rory McIlroy is skipping
the Memorial Tournament next week because of a
nagging rib injury that also forced him to miss the
European Tour event this week in England.
“It’s disappointing to miss the Memorial Tournament,” McIlroy said Friday in a statement released by

tournament ofﬁcials. “This tournament attracts such
a stellar ﬁeld, and I was excited to try and better my
fourth-place ﬁnish from last year. The Memorial Tournament is one of the best tour stops of the year and I
hope everyone involved has a great week”
The second-ranked McIlroy sustained a hairline
fracture during the South African Open in January,
causing him to miss four tournaments over seven
weeks. He played four times in six weeks upon his
return until taking a post-Masters break to get married. The injury surfaced again from long practice sessions leading to The Players Championship.

Kentucky Derby winner Always
Dreaming to skip Belmont Stakes
NEW YORK (AP) — Kentucky Derby winner
Always Dreaming will skip the Belmont Stakes next
month after ﬁnishing eighth in the Preakness.
Trainer Todd Pletcher says the 3-year-old colt will
be pointed toward either the $600,000 Jim Dandy at
Saratoga on July 29 or the $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth on July 30, according to the Daily
Racing Form.
Trainer Chad Brown says he will wait until after the
Memorial Day weekend to announce where Preakness
winner Cloud Computing will run next. However, it
appears unlikely he will run in the Belmont.
The Belmont ﬁeld is limited to 16 starters. Besides
Classic Empire, other horses expected to run are Conquest Mo Money, Japan-based Epicharis, Gormley,
Irap, J Boys Echo, Lookin At Lee, Meantime, Multiple, Patch, Senior Investment, Tapwrit, True Timber
and Twisted Tom. Other possibilities are Irish War
Cry and Hollywood Handsome.
