which will be giving ﬁre
extinguisher demonstrations.
The Meigs County
Sheriff’s Department
will be providing Kid
Safe Fingerprinting,
and the New Haven Fire
Department is bringing
their Fire and Home
Safety House.
Smokey the Bear,
Sparky the Fire Dog, and
Safety Pup will make
an appearance and be
available for pictures.

Fire extinguisher demonstrations are one of the things to take
place at safety day.

Meigs Inﬂatables will
have a bounce house and
an inﬂatable obstacle
course, and Colorful
Faces will provide face
painting.
In addition, 300 smoke
detectors will be available to give away, and

two large Dalmatian

Meigs Retired
Teachers meet
POMEROY — The
Meigs County Retired
Teachers Association
met May 18 for a noon
luncheon at Trinity
Congregational Church.
Charlene Rutherford,
president, welcomed the
group and led the pledge
to the ﬂag.
Gay Perrin read “40
things to do to improve
your life” and “Explain
God” which was written
by an eight year old boy
for an assignment by his
third grade teacher. She
then had prayer before
the meal was served by
the ladies of the church.
Mike Gerlach, local
historian, was the
speaker for the meeting.
He titled his talk “Alternative Facts” or fake
news. He gave several
interesting examples.
An autobiography of
Daniel Boone that told
how he died was not
an autobiography. The
Emancipation Proclamation written by Lincoln
to free the slaves did not
free any. This was done

by the 13th amendment
to the Constitution. He
also said that much in
the Declaration of Independence never took
place. Gerlach also told
some interesting facts
about the Presidents
from Ohio.
The Meigs seventh
grade choir under the
direction of Metra
Peterson entertained the
group with several songs.
During the business
meeting the secretary’s
report was given and
approved. The scholarship committee said they
would put information
in the newspaper in
June and would want
the applications for the
scholarship in the middle
of July.
Door prizes were given
to Linda Lear, Becky
Zurcher and Janice
Curry.
The next meeting
will be Sept. 21 at Wild
Horse Cafe. Members
are to bring in school
supplies for students and
items for classrooms.

Stocks slide as banks, energy companies sink
NEW YORK (AP) —
U.S. stock indexes edged
lower for the second day
in a row Wednesday as a
sharp drop for banks and
a rare loss for technology
companies canceled out
gains for drugmakers and
consumer-focused companies.
Banks fell hard as
executives from JPMorgan Chase and Bank
of America said their
trading businesses are
having a rough second
quarter. An eight-day
winning streak for technology companies ended.
Energy companies fell
with oil prices. Investors
picked consumer-focused
companies, drugmakers,
and high-dividend utilities and household goods
companies. The New
York Stock Exchange
was evenly split between
gainers and losers.
“The stock market has
been strong and all the
while bond yields have
dropped during the year,”
signaling caution about
the economy, said Brent
Schutte, chief investment
strategist for Northwestern Mutual Management.
“In the next couple of
months we’re going to
solve which is right: the
bond market or the stock
market.”
The Standard &amp; Poor’s
500 index lost 1.11
points, or less than 0.1
percent, to 2,411.80. The
Dow Jones industrial
average dropped 20.82
points, or 0.1 percent,
to 21,008.65. The Nasdaq composite fell 4.67
points, or 0.1 percent,
to 6,198.52. The Russell
2000 index of small-company stocks slipped 0.99
points, or 0.1 percent, to
1,370.21.
Banks skidded a day
earlier as bond yields
dropped, which hurts

banks by forcing interest rates on loans lower.
Yields were little changed
Wednesday, but ﬁnancial
ﬁrms fell again as investors worried that banks’
revenue from trading
stocks, bonds and currencies is going to weaken in
the second quarter.
At a ﬁnancial industry
conference in New York,
Marianne Lake, JPMorgan Chase’s chief ﬁnancial ofﬁcer, said JPMorgan’s trading revenue is
down about 15 percent
this quarter because of
a drop in ﬁxed-income
trading. She said that
was because of low interest rates and remarkably
low market volatility.
“There is not a lot to
trade around,” she said.
“People have cash but no
conviction.”
At a different industry
event Wednesday, Bank
of America CEO Brian
Moynihan said secondquarter trading revenue
will fall 10 percent compared to a year ago.
The banking industry
had an outstanding ﬁrst
quarter, and trading was
a key reason. JPMorgan
Chase fell $1.75, or 2.1
percent, to $82.15 and
Bank of America lost 43
cents, or 1.9 percent,
to $22.41. Capital One
slumped $1.36, or 1.7
percent, to $76.92 and
Goldman Sachs, which
saw its vaunted trading business hit a speed
bump in the ﬁrst quarter,
gave up $7.16, or 3.3 percent, to $211.26.
Bond prices were little
changed. The yield on
the 10-year Treasury
note remained at 2.21
percent.
Technology companies turned lower. The
tech sector has reached
its highest levels since

Benchmark U.S.
crude lost $1.34, or 2.7
percent, to $48.32 a barrel in New York. Brent
crude, the standard for
international oil prices,
fell $1.53, or 3 percent,
to $50.31 a barrel in London. Energy stocks continued to decline. Exxon
Mobil sank 60 cents to
$80.50 and Hess declined
78 cents, or 1.7 percent,
to $45.89.
Michael Kors Holdings
hit a ﬁve-year low after
it said it will close up to
125 stores as its sales
have remained weak. The
luxury retailer said sales
at older stores dropped
in its latest quarter
and investors were
disappointed with its
projections for the current quarter. The stock
tumbled $3.09, or 8.5
percent, to $33.18.
Solar power companies sank as investors

Donald Trump will seek

the largest U.S. solar
company, declined 99
cents, or 2.5 percent, to
$38.51. SunPower fell 28
cents, or 3.4 percent, to
$7.87 while solar wafer
maker Canadian Solar
retreated 73 cents, or 5.4
percent, to $12.81.
The dollar slipped to
110.57 yen from 110.78
yen. The euro rose to
$1.1246 from $1.1188.

THEIR VIEW

Honor heroes
of Portland by
rejecting hate
By Rekha Basu
Contributing columnist

“I just kept telling him, ‘You’re not alone. We’re
here. What you did was total kindness. You’re such
a beautiful man. I’m sorry the world is so cruel.’”
Those were the words of train rider Rachel
Macy to fellow Portland, Ore., passenger Taliesin
Namkai-Meche on Friday as he lay bleeding from
a stab wound to the neck. He was one of three
men who’d been trying to prevent a belligerent
passenger, Jeremy Christian, from verbally assaulting two young women, one black and the other
wearing a hijab. “He was screaming that he was a
taxpayer, that colored people were ruining the city,
and he had First Amendment rights,” Macy told
The Oregonian newspaper.
One of Christian’s targets, 16-year-old Destinee
Mangum, told CNN Christian had demanded she
and her friend get out of his country and go back
to Saudi Arabia and “that we basically weren’t anything and that we should kill ourselves.”
But three white men stepped forward to protect
them. Two of them were stabbed to death after
Christian pulled out a knife. Namkai-Meche, a
23-year-old who graduated a year ago from college,
was one. He had long, wavy blond hair, a beard
and a bright smile. Rick Best — 53, an Army
veteran, city employee and father of four — was
the other. A 21-year-old, Micah Fletcher, was also
stabbed but survived.
The story inspires such conﬂicting emotions:
On the one side, horror and outrage for the hatred
against innocent bystanders and the violence
toward those asking for civility. On the other side,
gratitude and optimism for the love and protection
the men showed the girls. We always talk of the
need to not sit silent in the face of racist or sexist
or homophobic attacks. But these men put their
bodies between the victims and the abuser and
paid with their lives.
They were peacekeepers and bridge-builders
with a very different view from Christian’s of what
it means to be a white man. They obviously hadn’t
bought into the narrative gaining currency on altright websites that depicts white men as victims of
multiculturalism and feminism, which has led to a
surge of aggressive and intolerant behavior against
minorities, including the death in Maryland of
23-year-old Army Lt. Richard Collins III, who was
black.
Police say Christian has no known history of
mental health problems, suggesting that his motivation was pure hatred. Charged with multiple
counts, including aggravated murder, the 35-yearold has been known to post pictures and messages
on Facebook promoting white supremacy and
degrading Jews, Muslims, women and transgender
people.
In a video, he appears at what was billed as a
free speech march draped in the U.S. ﬂag and
giving a Nazi salute. He reportedly chanted the
N-word at the march. Yet in a post, he threatens
to hurt anyone who calls him a racist. He calls
himself “White and a Nationalist for Vinland,” an
apparent reference to a Viking settlement in Newfoundland resulting from a Leif Erikson expedition
to North America 500 years before Christopher
Columbus got here.
Apparently obsessed with fascism and devoted
to Christ, he posted, “If Donald Trump is the Next
Hitler then I am joining his SS …” with references
to protecting Christianity.
The Southern Poverty Law Center counts 972
active hate groups in America. It says anti-Muslim
groups have increased nearly 200 percent since
2015, to 101. One of the two most inﬂuential,
ACT for America, has successfully lobbied members of Congress to support bills on national security, the SPLC says.
The Facebook group Alt-Reich Nation attacks
African-Americans, Asians and other minorities.
The 22-year old Maryland college student charged
with stabbing Collins at a bus stop reportedly is a
member. The FBI is investigating Sean Urbanski’s
actions as a hate crime.
In response to the Portland killings, Trump
tweeted they were unacceptable and that, “the
victims were standing up to hate and intolerance.”
That’s a positive step, but he needs to do much
more. He could start by examining his divisive
campaign — and policies.
A U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on
hate crimes earlier this month heard of a rapid
increase in anti-Muslim crimes in particular. Sen.
Al Franken of Minnesota and other Democrats
suggested Trump’s statements about Islam and
association with the likes of chief White House
strategist Stephen Bannon have emboldened racists and other bigots. Bannon is afﬁliated with the
alt-right movement, which SPLC describes as “a
set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals
whose core belief is that ‘white identity’ is under
attack by multicultural forces.” It blames feminism for undermining men. Bannon advocated for

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Thursday,
June 1, the 152nd day of
2017. There are 213 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlights in
History:
It was 50 years ago
today — June 1, 1967 —
that the Beatles album
“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely
Hearts Club Band” was
released, as was David
Bowie’s debut album,
eponymously titled
“David Bowie.”
On this date:
In 1792, Kentucky
became the 15th state.
In 1796, Tennessee
became the 16th state.
In 1813, the mortally
wounded commander
of the USS Chesapeake,
Capt. James Lawrence,
gave the order, “Don’t
give up the ship” during
a losing battle with the
British frigate HMS Shannon in the War of 1812.
In 1868, James Buchanan, the 15th president of
the United States, died
near Lancaster, Pennsyl-

vania, at age 77.
In 1917, the song “Over
There” by George M.
Cohan was published by
William Jerome Publishing Corp. of New York.
In 1927, Lizzie Borden,
accused but acquitted of
the 1892 ax murders of
her father, Andrew, and
her stepmother, Abby,
died in Fall River, Massachusetts, at age 66.
In 1943, a civilian ﬂight
from Portugal to England
was shot down by Germany during World War
II, killing all 17 people
aboard, including actor
Leslie Howard.
In 1957, Don Bowden,
a student at the University of California at
Berkeley, became the ﬁrst
American to break the
four-minute mile during a
meet in Stockton, California, in a time of 3:58.7.
In 1977, the Soviet
Union formally charged
Jewish human rights
activist Anatoly
Shcharansky with treason. (Shcharansky was
imprisoned, then released

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“The past is our only real possession in life.
It is the one piece of property of which time
cannot deprive us; it is our own in a way that
nothing else in life is. In a word, we are our
past; we do not cling to it, it clings to us.”

in 1986; he’s now known
by the name Natan
Sharansky.)
In 1980, Cable News
Network made its debut.
In 1997, Betty Shabazz,
the widow of Malcolm X,
was severely burned in a
ﬁre set by her 12-year-old
grandson in her Yonkers,
New York, apartment
(she died three weeks
later). The Chicago Tribune published a makebelieve commencement
speech by columnist
Mary Schmich (shmeech)
which urged graduates
to, among other things,
“wear sunscreen” (the
essay ended up being
wrongly attributed online
to author Kurt Vonne-

gut).
In 2009, Air France
Flight 447, an Airbus
A330 carrying 228 people
from Rio de Janeiro to
Paris, crashed into the
Atlantic Ocean with the
loss of everyone on board.
Ten years ago: The
FDA warned consumers
to avoid using toothpaste
made in China because it
might contain a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze. Kidnapped British
journalist Alan Johnston
appeared in a videotape
posted on an Islamic website, the ﬁrst time he was
seen since being abducted nearly three months
earlier in Gaza. (Johnston
was freed July 4, 2007.)

EHS senior trio set for state meet
By Alex Hawley

Alex Hawley/OVP Sports

Eastern senior Laura Pullins clears the bar in the high jump at the Region 11
championships, on May 24 at Fairfield Union High School.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The
ﬁnal chapter of storybook
careers.
Laura Pullins, Alia Hayes
and Jett Facemyer already
have their diplomas in hand
and are signed to continue
their collegiate track and ﬁeld
endeavours, but each of those
newly-minted Eastern alums
still have one piece of business
left to take care of at the high
school level.
Pullins, Hayes and Facemyer
will take part in the OHSAA
Division III state championships on Friday and Saturday
at Jesse Owens Memorial
Stadium, a scene that all three

Eagles are very familiar with.
Making her fourth state
appearance is Laura Pullins —
a Marietta College signee — is
in the state high jump ﬁnals
for the third time, and will
compete at 4 p.m. on Friday.
Pullins, the 14th jumper, enters
competition with a mark of 5
feet, 4 inches, which is tied for
seventh best with three other
athletes.
Pullins, one of eight seniors
in the state ﬁnal ﬁeld, claimed
third place in last week’s
Region 11 championships at
Fairﬁeld Union High School.
In her previous state high jump
tries, Pullins has 10th and 11th
place ﬁnishes. As a freshman
Laura cleared 5-2, while clear-

ing 5-0 at the state meet last
year.
Pullins has ﬁnished on the
podium twice at the state meet,
both in relays in her freshman
season. Her top-ﬁnish was a
fourth place mark claimed by
the 4x800m relay team in 2014.

Hayes — a St. Louis University
signee — is making her second
consecutive trip in the shot
put and will also compete on
Friday at 4 p.m. Hayes, one of
10 seniors in the event, enters

feet, 11 inches, the shortest in
the ﬁeld of 16. Alia will be the

Higher power: LeBron
soaring into 7th
straight NBA Finals
CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James will one
day take his ﬁnal bow, the brightest spotlight moving on to someone else.
There will come a time when his legs lose some
explosiveness and those vicious dunks will be rendered ordinary. Someday, his jumper won’t fall as
often, and that astonishing court vision, the key to
his game, will become cloudy.
James will face the end of his career one day.
Just not anytime soon.
On the eve of his seventh straight NBA Finals
appearance, and 10 years since he debuted on
basketball’s grand stage, James’ reign continues:
undisputed king of the court.
During a postseason in which he has led the
champion Cleveland Cavaliers to a 12-1 record and
chased down Michael Jordan as the No. 1 scorer
in playoff history, James has not only positioned
himself for a fourth title, but intensiﬁed the debate
over whether he’s the greatest player in NBA history.
He isn’t slowing down while building his case.
James has always dismissed the Jordan comparisons, saying that kind of talk is “only great for
barbershops” and that original gravity-defying No.
23 has been his motivational muse, not a target.
But after the Cavs won their third straight conference title, punishing an overmatched Boston team
in ﬁve games — he supplanted Jordan during the
clincher — James discussed his place alongside
someone who was “like a god” to him growing up.
“I did pretty much everything that M.J. did
when I was a kid,” James said. “I shot fadeaways
before I should have. I wore black and red shoes
with white socks. I wore short shorts so you could
see my undershorts underneath. I didn’t go bald
like Mike, but I’m getting there. … But other than
that, I did everything Mike did. I even wore a
wristband on my forearm. I didn’t do the hoop earring, either. That was Mike.
“But I did everything Mike did, man.”
And he’s not done, not by a long shot.
James is on a mission, and it’s far from accomplished.
By having one of his ﬁnest statistical postseasons — 32.5 points per game, 8.0 rebounds, 7.0
assists, 57 percent shooting through 13 games
— James is dismissing any argument about the
league’s true MVP. Although he’ll ﬁnish behind
Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Kawhi
Leonard when the regular-season award is given
out next month, James has reminded everyone
over the past six weeks that he remains the measuring stick at 32.
He’s raising the bar even higher, during a decade
in which his actions — on and off the ﬂoor —
have shaped the league.
“LeBron James has dominated, seriously
dominated, this era of basketball. His domination
has been about the equivalent to Kareem AbdulJabbar’s in his time,” Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas
said. “He’s playing for his place in history, to be
talked about as one of the best to ever play. The
conversation will come down between he, Kareem
and Michael Jordan. Then it’s just a matter of
taste. Who do you want?”
Of all his accomplishments, making seven
straight ﬁnal rounds is near the top of the list.
When the ball goes up in Game 1 on Thursday,

8 from OVP headed to D2 state meet
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

They say that eight is
enough.
For this season anyway,
it’s eight Ohio Valley
Publishing area participants competing in this
weekend’s Ohio High
School Athletic Association Division II state
track and ﬁeld meet.
Four ladies from Meigs,
three seniors from Gallia Academy and Isaiah
Beach of River Valley
will partake in Friday’s
semiﬁnals and Saturday’s
ﬁnals —held inside Jesse
Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus.
Three of the eight are
repeat performers, including a pair of Gallia Academy “three-peaters” in
their signature events.
The eight also include a
pair of past placers, while
a pair of senior individuals and one relay team is
making their state debut.
The top returnee is
sophomore Kassidy
Betzing, who returns to
defend her all-Ohio status
— while aiming for the
state championship — in
the girls long jump.
Betzing placed seventh
in last season’s event with
a best jump of 17-feet,
two-and-three-quarter
inches — which she
scored on her third and
ﬁnal preliminary jump.
The top eight placers
in each event at the state
meet earn all-Ohio honors, and take their place
on the OHSAA awards

podium.
But already this season, Betzing broke the
Division II Southeast
District meet record with
a personal-record leap of
18-feet and seven inches
—en route to capturing
both the district and
regional championships.
In winning last week’s
regional title, Betzing’s
best jump was 18-feet,
four-and-one-fourths inches, of which she actually
tied fellow sophomore
Alexis Prater of Ridgewood.
Betzing and Prater
both best-jumped 18-4
1/4, but Betzing beneﬁted from her secondbest jump — which was
18-feet and one-and-ahalf.
Prater posted a secondbest jump of one inch shy
of exactly 18-feet, but
Betzing boasted the tiebreaker — and thus stood
atop the podium at meet’s
end.
And, she wants to
stand atop the state meet
podium as well.
Betzing will jump
bright and early on Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m.,
and is the second jumper
in the ﬁrst ﬂight of 16
total competitors.
Both Betzing and Prater (18-4 1/4) are entering
the competition with
the second-best regional
jumps, trailing only
defending state runner-up
in senior Jamari McDavid
of Springﬁeld Kenton
Ridge.
McDavid, who nearly

boys 110-meter high hurdles at Friday’s state track and field meet.

nailed 19-feet (18-11 1/4)
at last year’s regional
meet, leads the two-ﬂight
ﬁeld with an 18-feet,
eight -and-three-quarter
inches leap from this
year’s regional.
In last season’s state
meet, McDavid and Ellie
Ruby of Wheelersburg
were tied at 18-feet and
one-and-a-half inches,
but Ruby’s second-best
jump was exactly 18-feet
for the championship tiebreaker.
Ruby returns for her
junior season, as she and
Jenna Frantz of Versailles
jumped 18-feet and three
inches in their respective
regionals.
The only other girl
over 18-feet is senior Lisa

Bailey of Logan Elm, who
hit a regional-best jump
of 18-1.
But Betzing will be
appearing in two state
events this year.
That’s because the
Lady Marauders’ 4x100m
relay squad qualiﬁed for
Friday’s state semiﬁnals,
ﬁnishing a strong thirdplace in the regional
sprint.
The Maroon and Gold
group of Betzing, fellow
sophomore and anchor
leg Taylor Swartz, and
seniors Devyn Oliver and
Sky Brown completed
the lap dash in a fast onehundredth of a second

than the Marauders,
crossed ahead of Meigs.
The top four placers in
each event at the regional
meet qualify for the state
meet.
In the state semiﬁnals,
the top two placers in
each of two heats —followed by the next ﬁvefastest times —qualify for
Saturday’s state championship races.
The Lady Marauders
will run from lane 2 in the
second heat, as the quartet from Akron Buchtel
(48.97) boasts the fastest
second-heat preliminary
time.
Beachwood, by over a
full second, has the fastest ﬁrst-heat speed at
48.70.
There are actually eight
clubs, including Meigs,
whose regional runs
ranged between 49.56
seconds and 50.02 seconds.
The Lady Marauders
will run the 4x100m
semiﬁnal on Friday at
2:50 p.m. —and exactly
23 hours later (1:50 p.m.)
should they qualify for
Saturday’s ﬁnals.
For Gallia Academy,
senior Madi Oiler is
“three-peating” to the
state meet in the Division
II girls 300m hurdles —
after her repeat regional
runner-up.
Oiler — after a sixthplace ﬁnish in the state
two years ago (45.38)—
ended up with a time of
44.53 seconds on Saturday, trailing only junior
Karlie Zumbro (44.25) of
John Glenn.
She had the 12th-fastest
time (46.27) in last season’s state semiﬁnals, but
is looking for a second
and ﬁnal appearance on
the medals stand.
She will run in the
preliminaries on Friday
at 3:20 p.m., running in
Lane 6 of the opening of
two heats.
Of the 16 state qualiﬁers, Oiler enters with the
second-fastest time in her
heat and the fourth-fastest regional time overall.
Should she advance to
Saturday’s ﬁnals, she will
run at 2:15 p.m.
The only regional times
ahead of Oiler (44.53) are
those of Zumbro (44.25,
Lane 4, Heat 2), senior
Emily Marsico of Girard
(44.04, Lane 6, Heat 2)

Besides Betzing and
Oiler, Gallia Academy
senior Isaiah Lester
returns — running individually in the boys 800m
run for the third and ﬁnal
time.
Lester, as a freshman,
qualiﬁed for the state
track and ﬁeld meet — as
part of the Blue Devils’
4x800m group.
The past two years, he
placed 15th as a sophomore in two minutes and
two seconds — and 13th
as a junior in 1:58.
This year, Lester landed the regional runner-up
with a time of 1:57.63,
trailing only champion
Kyle Clellan of Sheridan
(1:57.01) — by a mere
62-hundredths of a second.
But Lester won’t be
the only Blue Devil in the
800m run — as fellow
senior Kaleb Crisenbery
qualiﬁed in a minute and
58 seconds.
This will be Crisenbery’s ﬁrst — and ﬁnal
— time advancing to the
state in track and ﬁeld,
following his eighth-place
ﬁnish in the 145-pound
weight class of the Division II state wrestling
tournament.
He ﬁnished fourth at
the regional after winning the district —but
only trailed the champion
Clellan by a second and
11-hundredths.
Both Blue Devils will
run the 800 on Saturday
at 2:30 p.m., as Crisenbery (Lane 5B) and Lester (Lane 6B) will begin
the two-lap race in adjacent lanes — sandwiched
around Taylor Hopkins
(Lane 6A) of Heath.
Hopkins has the event’s
fastest regional time of a
minute and 53 seconds
(1:53.85).
Also qualifying for the
state — for the ﬁrst and
ﬁnal time — was the
senior Beach in the boys
110m high hurdles.
Beach ﬁnished fourth
in the regional in 15.63
seconds, and will sprint
from the difﬁcult Lane
1 in the ﬁrst heat of Friday’s semiﬁnals.
He will run at 2:10
p.m., followed by a 1:05

GULF SHORES, Ala. — Nikola
Andjelic earned a second straight
All-American honor, while Connor Messer and Allison McNeal
each set new school records to
highlight the University of Rio
Grande’s performance over the
ﬁnal two days of the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National
Championships at Mickey Miller
Blackwell Stadium.
Andjelic, a junior from Split,
Croatia, ﬁnished fourth in the
Men’s Decathlon on Friday after
piling up 6,697 points in the
10-event competition.
The top eight ﬁnishers in
each competition are named AllAmericans. Andjelic, who was in
seventh place after the ﬁrst ﬁve
events on Thursday, earned the
honor in the same event last year.
Andjleic ﬁnished second in the
110-meter hurdles (14.85), third
in the pole vault (4.30m), ﬁfth in
the javelin throw (47.63m), and
sixth in both the discus throw
(33.52m) and 1,500-meter run
(4:39.34).

Messer, a freshman from Ashland, Ky., cleared 15’-5” to surpass
the previous personal best of 15’1” he’d set just shy of two weeks
earlier at the Lindsey Wilson
Twilight.
His effort on Saturday was good
enough for a 13th place ﬁnish
overall.
McNeal, a freshman from
Logan, Ohio set a new school
record in the Women’s Shot Put
with a heave of 43’6.5” and placed
13th overall. Her ﬁnish was the
best among freshman competitors.
Junior Tyanna Petty (Somerset,
OH) missed an All-American ﬁnish in the Women’s Heptathlon
by just two points. She ﬁnished
ninth with 4,504 points in the
seven-event competition.
Petty, who was 10th after
Thursday’s ﬁrst four events,
won the 800-meter run by just
over two seconds with a time of
2:16.94, while placing 12th in the
javelin throw (27.32m) and 13th
in the long jump (4.66m).
Jamestown’s Kaiann Arellano
edged Petty for the ﬁnal AllAmerican nod with 4,506 points.

Petty was also part of the Women’s High Jump competition, but
failed to clear a height after qualifying with the seventh-best mark
and winning the national title in
the event during the indoor season.
Sophomore Mike Norris (Dayton, OH) placed 10th in the Men’s
800-Meter Run with a time of
1:52.98. He failed to reach the
ﬁnals - and grab a guaranteed
All-American honor - by just .13
seconds.
The remaining three Rio athletes were part of the Men’s Marathon competition.
Senior Blake Freed (Uhrichsville, OH) placed 29th with a time
of 3:05.53, while fellow senior
Dallas Guy (Buffalo, OH) was
34th in a time of 3:11.35.
Freshman Kameron Carpenter
(Newark, OH) did not ﬁnish the
race as a result of an injury.
As a team, Rio Grande’s men
ﬁnished in a tie for 44th place
among the 69 schools who posted
a team score.
Randy Payton is the Sports Information
Director at the University of Rio Grande.

AP SPORTS BRIEFS

Browns top pick Myles
Garrett not practicing
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns rookie
defensive end Myles Garrett continues to be slowed
by an unspeciﬁed injury.
The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft wasn’t
on the ﬁeld Wednesday as his teammates worked
out. Garrett was with a group of other injured players, who worked with trainers on the side.
Last week, Garrett described the injury “as a little
nick” and said the Browns were holding him out of
practice as a precaution. He also said he expected
to be “full tilt” for this week’s workouts. A Browns
spokesman said Garrett did participate in Tuesday’s
practice, which wasn’t open to the media.
The 6-foot-4, 272-pound Garrett was slowed by
an ankle injury during part of his junior season at
Texas A&amp;M.
The Browns are counting on Garrett to not only
improve their pass rush but a defensive unit that
was ranked among the worst in the NFL last season.

12 referees selected to
officiate NBA Finals
NEW YORK (AP) — Danny Crawford has been
chosen to ofﬁciate his 23rd NBA Finals, making him
the most experienced of the 12 referees selected for
the series.
John Goble was the lone ﬁrst-time selection Tuesday when the NBA announced the referees who
would work the series beginning Thursday between
the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Mike Callahan was selected for his 14th NBA
Finals, Ken Mauer his 12th and Scott Foster his
10th. Monty McCutchen, Derrick Stafford, Tony
Brothers, James Capers, Marc Davis, Ed Malloy
and Zach Zarba round out the staff. Each has been
picked at least four times.
The ofﬁcials were selected by NBA Referee Operations management based on their postseason performance. Referees were evaluated after each round
to determine advancement.
Crawford has ofﬁciated 33 NBA Finals games and
Callahan 18.

Cops: Racial slur sprayed on
LeBron James’ Los Angeles home
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police are investigating
after someone spray painted a racial slur on the
front gate of LeBron James’ home in Los Angeles on
the eve of the NBA Finals.
It happened Wednesday morning in the Brentwood neighborhood.
Capt. Patricia Sandoval, a spokeswoman for the
Los Angeles Police Department, tells The Associated Press that James wasn’t home at the time. She
says the property manager told ofﬁcers they believe
the incident was captured on surveillance video.
Police are investigating it as an act of vandalism
and a possible hate crime.
Sandoval says someone painted over the slur
before ofﬁcers arrived at the home to investigate.
James’ agent, Rich Paul, declined to comment.
James and the Cleveland Cavaliers play the Golden
State Warriors in NBA Finals beginning Thursday
night, with Game 1 in Oakland.

Headgear rules: Lee Corso, 81,
signs extension with ESPN
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN has agreed to a
multiyear contract extension with Lee Corso, the
81-year-old star of “College GameDay.”
Corso joined ESPN in 1987 and has been part of
the popular college football Saturday pregame show
ever since. His head-gear game predictions, off-thecuff analysis and signature line — “Not so fast, my
friend” — have endeared him to generations of college football fans.
The head-gear picks started in 1996 when Corso
donned the head of Ohio State’s Brutus Buckeye
before a game in Columbus with Penn State. He is
on target to make his 300th head-gear pick during
week six of the upcoming season.
In the spring of 2009, Corso suffered a stroke at
his home in Florida, but returned to be part of the
ﬁrst “College GameDay” that season.

Why the Cavs will win the NBA Finals
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Why will the Cleveland
Cavaliers beat the Golden
State Warriors in the
three-match of the NBA
Finals?
“I feel good about our
chances,” LeBron James
said this week. “Very
good.”
Often times the simplest answer is the right
one.
At 32 years of age, the
best player of his generation is playing the best
basketball of his life. And
if he feels conﬁdent going
into a series against an
overpowering Warriors
team ﬁlled with four AllStars, then the rest of
Cleveland should, too.
James has reached a
rareﬁed air this postseason, surpassing Michael
Jordan on the career
playoff scoring list while
leading Cavs through an
Eastern Conference that
looked more overmatched
than ever. He is playing in
his seventh straight ﬁnals.
This is home to him
and there is no amount
of hype, no limit to the

number of All-Stars his
opponent can have that
will shake his resolve.
He is averaging 32.5
points per game in these
playoffs, eclipsed only by
the 35.3 per-game average
as a spry 24-year-old in
2009. He is also averaging career playoff highs
in shooting percentage
(.566) and 3-point shooting (.421) while grabbing
8.0 rebounds and dishing
out 7.0 assists.
The Cavs are also more
well-rounded than they
were in the previous two
trips to the ﬁnals.
Kevin Love sat out the
2015 ﬁnals with a shoulder injury and was more
of a blue-collar, dirty
work player in last year’s
conquest. He returns
this year more closely
resembling the statstufﬁng machine he was
in Minnesota than at any
other time since he was
traded following James’
decision to come back to
Cleveland. Love is averaging 17.2 points and 10.2
rebounds this postseason
and shooting 47.5 percent

from 3-point range, giving
the Cavs a ﬂoor spacer
that is also a terror on the
glass who may be able
to exploit the Warriors
when they go to a smaller
lineup with Draymond
Green at the center.
Kyrie Irving has also
reached a higher plane
these playoffs, even after
last season’s remarkable
performance late in the
series to help the Cavs
rally from a 3-1 deﬁcit. He
scored 42 in an important
Game 4 victory over the
Boston Celtics in the
Eastern Conference ﬁnals
and can stand up to any
of Golden State’s perimeter players from a scoring
and ﬁnishing standpoint.
Then there is the X-factor: Tristan Thompson.
Cleveland’s rugged glasseater could be a difﬁcult
matchup for the Warriors.
If he can control the paint
and create second chances for the Cavs offense
while limiting Golden
State on its possessions,
the Cavaliers will have a
chance to hang close in
most games.

Daily Sentinel

Why Warriors will win the NBA Finals
OAKLAND, Ca. (AP)
— There is a way to beat
Golden State.
It demands defense.
Let the Warriors shoot
50 percent, they’re almost
certainly going to win.
Let the Warriors score
103 points, they’re almost
certainly going to win.
It’s really that simple. To
use LeBron James’ word,
they are a juggernaut.
And that juggernaut will
require the Cleveland
Cavaliers to play airtight
defense in these NBA
Finals.
Defense has been the
question for the Cavaliers
all season.
That is why Golden
State is my pick to win
the NBA championship.
For the record, I picked
Cleveland at the start of
the season primarily for
two reasons. One, James
is the best player alive
and his entire motivation
now seems to revolve
around collecting more
rings. Two, I wasn’t convinced that adding Kevin
Durant to the Warriors’
loaded mix would be as

seamless as Golden State
has made it look.
James has probably
never been better than he
is now.
But with Durant, the
Warriors have probably
never been better than
this either.
Let’s get back to those
numbers. When the Warriors score 103 this season, they’re 78-6. When
they score 102 or less,
they’re 1-9. (That ratio
also holds true going
back to last year’s Finals,
Golden State going 3-0
when scoring 103 or
more, 0-4 otherwise.)
And the last time that the
Warriors shot better than
50 percent and lost was
in November — that is,
November 2014.
When shooting over 50
percent, they’ve won 106
consecutive games, the
last 43 of those coming
this season.
The argument from
CavsTwitter upon hearing those numbers will
likely revolve around how
Cleveland has clamped
down on Golden State

in each of the past two
Finals, and that take is
accurate. Golden State
shot 44 percent against
the Cavs in the 2015
Finals, 43 percent last
season. Clearly, Cleveland
understands what it takes
to frustrate the Warriors
just enough.
Except those Warriors
aren’t these Warriors.
And even though Cleveland has rolled through
the playoffs, going 12-1,
they’ve allowed opponents over 100 points
in all but three of those
games.
Durant is the difference. Stephen Curry, Klay
Thompson and Draymond Green were daunting enough with Harrison
Barnes. Now with Durant
in that mix in what essentially was Barnes’ spot,
the Warriors have found
different dimensions both
offensively and defensively. Barnes averaged
9.3 points in the Finals a
season ago, on 35 percent
shooting. There’s no way
Durant will get held to
those sort of numbers.

Why the Cavs will win the NBA Finals

Nathan Denette | The Canadian Press via AP

Cincinnati Reds’s Joey Votto, right, celebrates his solo home run against the Toronto Blue Jays
with Adam Duvall (23) during the first inning of an interleague game in Toronto on Tuesday.

Jays sweep Reds with 5-4 win
TORONTO (AP)
— Devon Travis hit
a tiebreaking tworun home run in the
seventh inning, Luke
Maile also hit a tworun home run, and the
Toronto Blue Jays beat
the Cincinnati Reds 5-4
on Wednesday, completing a three-game
sweep.
Jason Grilli (2-4)
pitched one inning for
the victory as the Blue
Jays won for the eighth
time in nine games and
ﬁnished May at 18-10.
Toronto hit 49 home
runs in May, going
deep in 18 of its ﬁnal
20 games.
Joe Smith worked
the eighth and Roberto
Osuna survived a
shaky ninth for his
11th save.
Scott Schebler homered on Osuna’s ﬁrst
pitch, his NL-leading
16th. A single, Ryan
Goins’ ﬁelding error,
and a stolen base gave
the Reds runners at

second and third with
one out, but Osuna
preserved the win by
striking out Billy Hamilton and Zack Cozart.
Travis, whose
13-game hitting
streak ended Tuesday,
snapped an 0-for-6
slump by connecting
off Wandy Peralta
(2-1).
Joey Votto hit a
two-run homer for
the Reds, who lost for
the fourth time in ﬁve
games.
Votto homered for
the second straight
game when he connected off Mike Bolsinger
in the ﬁrst, his 14th.
Toronto halved
the deﬁcit in the bottom half on Kendrys
Morales’ sacriﬁce ﬂy,
but Cincinnati’s Jose
Peraza made it 3-1
with an RBI double in
the second.
The Blue Jays tied
it on Maile’s drive off
Tim Adelman in the
ﬁfth.

Travis homered on
a two-out, full-count
pitch in the seventh
inning, his ﬁfth.
Home plate umpire
Carlos Torres went
down in pain after taking Chris Coghlan’s
foul tip off his left knee
in the fourth. Torres
received attention from
the Blue Jays training
staff and was able to
continue.
Notes: LHP Amir
Garrett (right hip)
is expected to throw
a bullpen session on
Thursday’s off day
and could return next
week, manager Bryan
Price said. … After an
off day Thursday, RHP
Bronson Arroyo (3-4,
6.62) gets the start
Friday as Cincinnati
returns home to begin
a three-game series
against Atlanta. Arroyo
is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA
in his past four starts.
RHP Mike Foltynewicz
(3-5, 4.44) will start
for the Braves.

CLEVELAND (AP) —
Why will the Cleveland
Cavaliers beat the Golden
State Warriors in the
three-match of the NBA
Finals?
“I feel good about our
chances,” LeBron James
said this week. “Very
good.”
Often times the simplest answer is the right
one.
At 32 years of age, the
best player of his generation is playing the best
basketball of his life. And
if he feels conﬁdent going
into a series against an
overpowering Warriors
team ﬁlled with four AllStars, then the rest of
Cleveland should, too.
James has reached a
rareﬁed air this postseason, surpassing Michael
Jordan on the career
playoff scoring list while
leading Cavs through an
Eastern Conference that
looked more overmatched
than ever. He is playing

in his seventh straight
ﬁnals. This is home
to him and there is no
amount of hype, no limit
to the number of AllStars his opponent can
have that will shake his
resolve.
He is averaging 32.5
points per game in these
playoffs, eclipsed only by
the 35.3 per-game average
as a spry 24-year-old in
2009. He is also averaging career playoff highs
in shooting percentage
(.566) and 3-point shooting (.421) while grabbing
8.0 rebounds and dishing
out 7.0 assists.
The Cavs are also more
well-rounded than they
were in the previous two
trips to the ﬁnals.
Kevin Love sat out the
2015 ﬁnals with a shoulder injury and was more
of a blue-collar, dirty
work player in last year’s
conquest. He returns
this year more closely
resembling the stat-

stufﬁng machine he was
in Minnesota than at any
other time since he was
traded following James’
decision to come back to
Cleveland. Love is averaging 17.2 points and 10.2
rebounds this postseason
and shooting 47.5 percent
from 3-point range, giving
the Cavs a ﬂoor spacer
that is also a terror on the
glass who may be able
to exploit the Warriors
when they go to a smaller
lineup with Draymond
Green at the center.
Kyrie Irving has also
reached a higher plane
these playoffs, even after
last season’s remarkable
performance late in the
series to help the Cavs
rally from a 3-1 deﬁcit.
He scored 42 in an important Game 4 victory over
the Boston Celtics in the
Eastern Conference ﬁnals
and can stand up to any
of Golden State’s perimeter players from a scoring
and ﬁnishing standpoint.
