Council approves energy aggregation for Nov. ballot By Michael Hart Special to the Sentinel SYRACUSE — Marc Hollinger, representing Aspen Energy, requested council’s support to place co-operative energy on the upcoming ballot. Energy aggregation increases the number of purchasing options for consumers, which Hollinger described as “a platform for bundling 100 households together to get better rates than they could get on their own.” If the initiative passed, it would automatically give Syracuse residents access to the additional plans. Due to misconceptions, this often provokes ire from people believing they are forced into buying plans without consent. “I’ve been at well over 1,000 meetings, so I know (the misconceptions). We don’t want upset residents thinking they are stuck with this,” said Hollinger, while explaining there are never opt out penalties. “If it’s going to save citizens money, then I think we should support this, especially if there are no penalties,” Councilperson Scott Wolfe. Not having three scheduled meetings prior to the filing deadline, the council passed support as an emergency motion. Also approved for the ballot was a 2 mill police levy renewal. The council passed motions to consult architects on a salt storage building and a proposed shelter house, and $10,000 and $5,000 were appropriated to the Fire Department and Police Department pending reimbursement grants. Bills were paid after referral to the finance committee. The next regularly scheduled Syracuse Village Council meeting is July 13 at 7 p.m. in the Syracuse Municipal Building. Michael Hart is a freelance writer for The Daily Sentinel. SYRACUSE — Syracuse Village Council chambers were packed for the second meeting in a row, as more than a dozen residents voiced opposition to continued construction of the village walking path. The group asked for comment on a letter obtained by the group from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). The letter, dated May 2 from the ODOT District 10 Deputy Director and addressed to the mayor, indicated ODOT would not allow construction of the walkway in close proximity to the Amberger house. The government officials categorically stated they had not received said letter, but that they planned to add crosswalks, bypass the historic property, and end at Carroll Street. Mayor Eric Cunningham further stated the issues raised in the letter were resolved in a May 23 meeting with ODOT administrator Alan Craig; Grants Administrator Fred Hoffman concurred with that assessment. A press release provided to The Daily Sentinel by Hoffman states in part, Due to objections from the State Historical Preservation Office, the route of the Syracuse walking path extension has been changed to avoid going in front of the Amberger house. SHPO has objected to the placing of any type of walkway on ODOT/Village right-of-way in front of the Amberger house, stating it would create an adverse effect on the historical house. Syracuse Village Council wishes to provide walkway access to residents between Carroll Street and the HUDsubsidized apartments in order that they may have a walking route to the park, bank, post office, etc. as originally envisioned in the proposed walkway. Council, after much thought and discussion, have determined that, in order to complete the path in a timely manner and in order to provide reasonable access to various parts of the village from the various apartments and residences below Carroll Street, the location will need to be See SYRACUSE | 5 A superhero by any other name By Erin Perkins Special to the Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — A fictional superhero is referred to as a goodnatured person with superhuman powers; however, common men and women can exude supreme care and passion towards others making them real-life superheroes. The River City Runners recently hosted their third out of seven 5Ks in the River City Race Series. The series began in December 2016 with the Jingle All the Way race and will end in November 2017 with the Keep Your Fork race. The theme of this race was Superheroes. The runners shed their street clothes for their super gear to flash, fly, walk, jog, and run for a charitable cause. The proceeds go towards the team who runs in the C2C race hosted in August by the American Cancer Society. Dave Diles Park in Middleport was the Superhero retreat and resting place that evening. Tuckerman’s on Lincoln provided hotdogs with Max’s Coney sauce, soda, and water for the participants.

Staff also recently won an award for its efforts. The Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies is a voluntary breastfeeding designation program through the Ohio Hospital Association and Ohio Department of Health that recognizes maternity centers in Ohio for taking steps to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding in their organization. A star is awarded for every two steps achieved in the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, as defined by the World Health Organization and Baby-Friendly USA. The initiative encourages maternity centers across the state to promote and support breastfeeding one step at a time. To participate with the program, Holzer is providing information and hospital practices supportive of breastfeeding and the Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies program. In 1991, UNICEF and the World Health Organization launched the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative to ensure that birthing hospitals will become centers of breastfeeding support. A maternity facility can be designated ‘baby-friendly’ by implementing 10 specific steps to support successful breastfeeding. These ten steps include: 1. Have a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all staff. 2. Train all health care staff in skills necessary to implement this policy. 3. Inform all pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding. 4. Help mothers initiate breastfeeding within one half-hour of birth. 5. Show mothers how to breastfeed and maintain lactation, even if they should be separated from their infants. 6. Give newborn infants no food or drink other than breastmilk, unless medically indicated. 7. Practice rooming in - that is, allow mothers and infants to remain together 24 hours a day. 8. Encourage breastfeeding on demand. 9. Give no pacifiers to breastfeeding infants. 10. Foster the establishment of breastfeeding support groups and refer mothers to them on discharge from the hospital or clinic. “It is our hope that Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies will prompt our leaders and employees to have thoughtful conversations in the hospitals about the benefits of breastfeeding in order to educate patients and the community,” said Susan Rowe, RN, MSN, director, Women & Chil- Holzer/Courtesy Holzer Birthing and Women’s Center staff are shown displaying their recent Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies Award.

Burns Contributing columnist “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive..to bind up the nation’s wounds, to..achieve..and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves.” These words from President Lincoln’s second inaugural address, somewhat sadly, are still timely today, a century and a half after a civil war to end slavery destroyed massive amounts of life and property. As people salute our American flag, some are silently replacing the phrase “one nation indivisible” with “one nation deeply divided” and, likewise, the final five words of “liberty and justice for all” with “liberty and justice for some.” And some are even turning their backs on our flag. The American flag represents both an idea and an ideal, the former structured to hopefully lead to the perfection of the latter. But no structure is perfect and those that operate it are imperfect people. Thus the ideal that “all men are created equal (and).. endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”— implying full civil and voting rights for women, people of color, and those of varying sexual orientation—has been a grinding process over several centuries. The current divide— termed a new civil war by some—is along a cultural and political fault line not fully defined. And yet we all seem to know which side we are on. As Lincoln further observed, “both (sides) read the same Bible and pray to the same God.” Today’s secular movement may mean fewer people pray at all, but, regardless, each side feels morally correct within their own sphere of guidance. Thus we have great “firmness” in our beliefs, albeit with more malice and far less charity than Lincoln envisioned. If there is a middle ground straddling today’s divide, it lies in the heart, soul, and conscience of America, a common ground also referenced by Lincoln in an inaugural address, his first. “We are not enemies, but friends… Though passion may have strained..our bonds of affection, it must not break (them)…(and will not) when every living heart…is touched by the better angels of our nature.” I found an example of our better angels in the heartlands, in Hillsboro, Ohio. The area’s Special Olympics athletes had formed a boys basketball team but needed a cheerleading squad formed from their female athletes. The Hillsboro High School athletic director was contacted—and soon the varsity cheerleaders were training the Special Olympics girls. The AD, Dave Dietrick, then scheduled a game between his area’s Wildcats team and the Rebels, the Special Olympics team from nearby Chillicothe, Ohio. Jeff Gilliland, editor of the local paper, reported on the event. “The school went the extra mile—it let the entire student body out of classes for the game so the Wildcats could play in front of a packed gym. The Hillsboro High pep band performed, the cheerleaders cheered, and the student body rooted the Wildcats on to a 24-23 overtime win. Dietrick called the atmosphere electric.” Handicapped athletes and cheerleaders performing in front of a packed house in place of the school’s varsity athletes. If that scene doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, you’re not human. I hope you feel a twinge of pride when singing the National Anthem and saluting the flag. I hope your better angels overcome malice, smugness, and any feeling of superiority in a situation where clarity is difficult and unity desperately needed—for the sake of the nation, for the sake of all classes, rich and poor, and of all colors—white, brown, black, yellow, and red. May we all cheer for the red, white, and blue, competing fairly and by the rules as the Wildcats and Rebels did that day in Hillsboro, Ohio. Before a packed gym. The atmosphere was electric. James F.

West Read Charlotte, “Reading with your child — asking open-ended questions, identifying new words, and talking about the characters, storyline and ideas — is one of the simplest yet most powerful things we can do to prepare children for a lifetime of learning.” As an English professor who specializes in children’s literature, I appreciate the value of reading stories aloud to children in terms of their literacy education. However, as a son and a father, I also know that reading aloud to children can help parents and children form lasting bonds. On this Father’s Day, I urge all fathers to take out a little time to read aloud to their children even if it’s just the Sunday comics. Many children bond with their fathers during camping trips or sporting events, but I bonded with my father over the reading of stories. Throughout my childhood, my father read aloud to my siblings and me. In addition to reading books aloud, he regularly read the Sunday comics to us. Every Sunday morning, before our mother got up, one of us would hand Dad the comics section from our paper, and he would start reading. One Sunday, when I was around 8, I decided to play a trick on him. I dug through the stack of old newspapers next to the fireplace, found the comics from the previous Sunday, and slipped them inside the current week’s comics. Then, after Dad woke up, I handed him a double dose of comics to read aloud. He began by reading Blondie, and then he turned the page and found another Blondie. To my glee, he also read the second one. He went on to read both weeks’ worth of every strip, never letting on that something was not quite right. I came away from the whole experience elated. The thought that I had actually tricked Dad helped me feel closer to him. I now understand that he knew that he had been tricked, but he played along. It was a loving thing to do. My father’s decision to read the comics to us stemmed from an experience he had growing up in New York City. In June of 1945 the newspaper delivery drivers in New York went on strike, which meant that most people in the city did not have access to the popular comic strips published in the papers. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia responded to this situation by reading the comics aloud during his regular radio show called Talk to the People. He continued to read the Sunday comics throughout the strike, and my father was one of the people who always tuned in to hear the Mayor read the comics. Like Mayor LaGuardia, my father read the comics in a dramatic fashion. Also like LaGuardia, he would often comment on some aspect of a particular comic strip. Just as LaGuardia’s reading of the Sunday comics left an indelible impression on my father, my father’s reading of the Sunday comics left an indelible impression on me. Literacy experts extol the importance of reading aloud to children. In the words of Munro Richardson, the executive director of literacy initiative a cooperation agreement concerning atomic information for “mutual defence purposes.” In 1967, the war film “The Dirty Dozen” was released by MGM. In 1977, Spain held its first free elections in four decades; the Union of the Democratic Center won the highest number of seats in the Congress of Deputies. In 1985, the Shiite Muslim hijackers of a TWA Boeing 727 beat and shot one of their hostages, U.S. Navy diver Robert Stethem (STEE’-them), 23, throwing him out of the plane to die on the tarmac at Beirut airport. In 1992, during a visit to an elementary school in Trenton, New Jersey, Vice President Dan Quayle, relying on a faulty flash card, erroneously instructed sixth-grader William Figueroa to write “potato” as “potatoe” on a blackboard during a spelling quiz. Ten years ago: During his ethics trial, a tearful Mike Nifong announced he would resign as district attorney of Durham County, North Carolina, after admitting that he’d made improper statements about three Duke University lacrosse players who were once charged with raping a stripper.

See BRIEFS | 7 By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com INSTITUTE, W. Va. — You just had to be there, and it was indeed great times. For Point Pleasant’s Grant Safford and Zach Wamsley, one last great time that you don’t wanna miss comes Saturday night — when the Big Black football standouts take the field together for one final tilt. That’s because both Safford and Wamsley will be members of the South squad — as part of the annual WCHS-Fox 11 North-South Football Classic, held at Laidley Field in Charleston. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Safford and Wamsley were Mason County’s only selected players, and marks the fourth consecutive contest in which a Point Pleasant player has been chosen. Both Safford and Wamsley are listed at exactly six-foot tall, while Wamsley weighs 225 pounds and Safford stands in at 210. Both are expected to play both defense and offense on Saturday night, as Wamsley will play along the lines — while Safford is a standout linebacker and running back. During Tuesday’s Media Day activities on the West Virginia State campus, Wamsley and Safford stressed the importance of being selected for the game. “It’s really a great honor just to be here and to play in a game like this. They say we’re the best of the best in the state. It’s an honor to be selected for the game, and we’re the only two from Point,” said Wamsley. “It’s an honor to be able to go out there and perform for our town and Mason County and represent them that way. We need to go out there and perform to our best,” added Safford. “It is an honor just to be selected in this game, because it’s of THE best in the state.” Indeed, the South Cardinals and North Bears make up the top football players in all of West Virginia. This week, that mass of talent took up residency at West Virginia State — participating in the mandatory week-long camp prior to the game. Both Point Pleasant players said the camp is well-structured — with both the Bears and Cardinals having morning and evening practices on opposite ends of the campus. “The camp is run extremely crisp. Everything is on time and on schedule. Just go by the schedule and you will be good,” said Safford. “The camp has gone very smooth. We’ve done a lot of drills, and we’ve learned quite a bit since we’ve been down here,” added Wamsley. Yogi Kinder, of last season’s Class AA state champion Mingo Central, coaches the Cardinals —while the Bears are headed up by Chris Daughtery of Wheeling Park, whose team won the Class AAA state championship two years ago. Point Pleasant played at AAA for four years, before returning to AA last season. Safford was a repeat all-state selection in 2015 (AAA) and 2016 (AA), having rushed for 1,755 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior. He actually earned all-state accolades on the defensive side of the ball — being a first-team utility player selection. Wamsley was chosen to the Special Honorable Mention all-state squad —the only Big Black to make that list. But both players said the best part of Point Pleasant football was feeding off the fans’ support, as the Big Blacks have not lost a regularseason game for four years. In fact, Safford and Wamsley were part of the Big Blacks’ ongoing — and amazing — 43-game regular-season win streak, which stands as the longest in the state. Last season stretched their consecutive playoff appearance streak to nine, as Point Pleasant followed a 12-1 campaign two years ago with an 11-1 mark of last year. “We don’t know what it’s like to lose in the regular season because we never did it. We were very fortunate to be in a tight-knit community that’s always backing us and going to every game. It kept us going. All of that support helped us so much to win all of those games and go into those playoff appearances,” said Wamsley. “You just had to be there. You had to be at Point Pleasant when it was happening. It was one of a kind and we were a one-of-a-kind team. You’ll never find another one like us. That’s the only way to explain it.” “It was a great time. There were a lot of fun times in the locker-room and on the field,” said Safford. “All the support from the fans we had, it was always packed for games. It was an accomplishment to go four years through the regular season undefeated and make all of those playoff See PAIR | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel RIO GRANDE SUMMER CAMPS MLB New York Boston Tampa Bay Baltimore Toronto W 38 36 35 31 31 L 24 28 32 32 33 Minnesota Cleveland Detroit Kansas City Chicago W 33 31 30 29 28 L 28 30 33 34 35 Houston Los Angeles Texas Seattle Oakland W 44 34 32 32 27 L 22 34 32 34 38 Washington New York Miami Atlanta Philadelphia W 39 29 29 28 21 L 25 34 35 36 42 Milwaukee Chicago St. Louis Pittsburgh Cincinnati W 34 32 30 30 29 L 32 32 33 35 35 Los Angeles Colorado Arizona San Diego San Francisco W 40 41 40 27 26 L 25 26 26 40 40 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .613 — — .563 3 — .522 5½ — .492 7½ 2 .484 8 2½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .541 — — .508 2 1 .476 4 3 .460 5 4 .444 6 5 West Division Pct GB WCGB .667 — — .500 11 1½ .500 11 1½ .485 12 2½ .415 16½ 7 ___ NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .609 — — .460 9½ 9½ .453 10 10 .438 11 11 .333 17½ 17½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .515 — — .500 1 7 .476 2½ 8½ .462 3½ 9½ .453 4 10 West Division Pct GB WCGB .615 — — .612 — — .606 ½ — .403 14 13½ .394 14½ 14 Thursday, June 15, 2017 7 L10 7-3 7-3 6-4 2-8 5-5 Str Home L-1 22-9 W-2 21-11 W-2 21-15 L-6 21-10 L-1 17-15 Away 16-15 15-17 14-17 10-22 14-18 L10 5-5 4-6 5-5 6-4 4-6 Str Home W-1 13-19 L-1 14-16 L-1 16-13 W-3 17-16 W-2 14-11 Away 20-9 17-14 14-20 12-18 14-24 L10 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 3-7 Str Home L-3 21-14 W-1 19-13 W-5 18-14 L-1 20-13 L-3 18-13 Away 23-8 15-21 14-18 12-21 9-25 L10 5-5 6-4 6-4 4-6 3-7 Str Home W-1 18-13 L-1 15-20 W-2 16-16 L-1 13-17 L-7 12-14 Away 21-12 14-14 13-19 15-19 9-28 L10 5-5 5-5 4-6 5-5 4-6 Str Home W-1 17-19 W-1 20-15 L-1 18-16 W-4 18-15 L-5 19-15 Away 17-13 12-17 12-17 12-20 10-20 L10 7-3 7-3 6-4 4-6 3-7 Str Home W-5 25-10 L-3 17-13 W-3 26-9 W-3 17-18 L-1 14-17 Away 15-15 24-13 14-17 10-22 12-23 Pair ed about playing with Wamsley one final time. “To play one more game with one of my high From page 6 school teammates…,” he appearances.

As a raucous crowd cheered at Oracle Arena, Curry watched freshly crowned Finals MVP Durant capturing his first ring in his 10th NBA season. “It’s different just because of what happened last year to be honest,” Curry said. “We went through, for lack of a better term, basketball hell in that sense of just being so close to getting the job done and not realizing that goal and having to think about that for an entire year and compartmentalize and just try to keep the right perspective about this season and learn the lessons that we learned.” Coach Steve Kerr cried. Golden State general manager Bob Myers also was moved to tears given Kerr’s courageous Finals comeback from an 11-game absence while dealing with complications from back surgery following the 2015 title run. Kerr still found time to crack a joke on the stage afterward: “Well, we had very little talent, actually, it was mostly coaching.” Later, he was straight- forward and serious: “We were heartbroken last year, but this year was our turn.” Myers realizes adding Durant might not have worked so well with anyone but the Warriors. “Kevin’s journey, our team embraced him. Some teams wouldn’t embrace a guy who came into a situation like ours. It looks like it was easy, but guys like Steph Curry welcoming him and kind of let him shine — it worked out like it should,” Myers said. “If you want to win, it doesn’t matter. It’s not about who scored what. It’s about winning. I think he knew that. He won a championship, and then we were close and didn’t win one. So you have a clear sense of what matters when you go through that stuff.” Now, the Warriors will face a frenzy of free-agent moves this summer to try to keep as many stars and brilliant backups as possible around for another run in 2018. Owner Joe Lacob will be pulling out his pocketbook to potentially give Curry a $200 million deal. Whatever it is, the bigmoney contract will be a hefty raise from the $12 million he earned on the way to a 16-1 postseason. Money and egos aside, the Warriors blended beautifully from the day Durant first walked into team headquarters. “I mean, come on, you got a bunch of guys who are talented and can shoot and pass and dribble, and they’re unselfish,” Kerr said. “There was never any question in my mind that this was going to work. So, this is the culmination of a year where they grew together and learned each other’s games and got better and better all year, and it was just phenomenal to be part of.” One moment late Monday captured the camaraderie that evolved. As a grinning Curry held daughter Riley in his arms, Durant stood next to them with his left hand on the point guard’s head. Later, the two-time reigning MVP took off his new NBA champions hat and studied it briefly before pulling it on again, backward. Curry had Durant to complement his game this time, to take some pressure off. They learned from each other every step of the way, they pushed one another through fierce shooting competitions that were pure entertainment on a practice floor. At the start, Curry took a back seat to let KD get comfortable. Then Curry carried Golden State while Durant healed from a left knee injury that sidelined him late in the regular season. in the 11-12 age group.

(AP) — Stephen Curry tucked a celebratory cigar into his right sock for safekeeping as he handled all of his post-championship obligations. His fists were clenched as he pondered his latest accomplishment, still wearing his sweaty uniform, ankle braces, kneepads and game shoes. Oh, there would be more partying, for sure. Perhaps all summer long. And if he and the rest of the Warriors have their way, for years to come. Curry, Kevin Durant and their teammates are determined to build a dynasty together — and they might just be well on their way. LeBron James believes so. Two titles in three years for Golden State. A fabulous first one with and for Durant. “We’re obviously just getting started,” Curry said after closing out Cleveland in Monday night’s NBA Finals Game 5. “This is something that we want to continue to do, but for us to have these conversations that we had almost a year ago and now being in this position, worth every shot we took in practice, fighting through injuries that he had this year, and it’s an unbelievable feeling.” The second NBA championship feels drastically different for Curry, Golf �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, June 15, 2017 Padres finish 3-game sweep of Reds, 4-2 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Franchy Cordero’s go-ahead single in the seventh inning capped a comeback that included Hunter Renfroe’s two-run homer, sending the San Diego Padres to a 4-2, sweep-completing victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Jhoulys Chacin (6-5) pitched seven innings, allowing five hits and two runs. With the score 2-2 after Renfroe’s tying shot an inning earlier, Padres pinch-hitter Matt Szczur and Jose Pirela scored after drawing walks against reliever Michael Lorenzen (3-2) to open the seventh. The Reds, who have lost their past eight road games, were swept at both Dodger Stadium and Petco Park to go 0-6 on the West Coast trip. Cordero, a rookie center fielder who made his major league debut May 27, hit three home runs in the series and knocked home Szczur with a single to right field. Brandon Mauer recorded his 12th save in 14 tries, after Brad Hand threw a scoreless eighth. The Reds rediscovered their home run prowess, getting solo shots from Jose Peraza and Joey Votto after not adding to the team’s majors-leading home run total in the series’ first and second games. Peraza hit Chacin’s second pitch of the game into the left-field seats for the team’s first leadoff homer of the season. For Peraza, it was his third home run. Votto cleared the wall in right-center for his 19th homer. Reds starting pitcher Amir Garrett took the 2-0 lead into the sixth. Renfroe made it 2-all when he followed Yangervis Solarte’s leadoff single with a 429-foot home run, his 19th. The liner into the top of the left-field second deck tied Renfroe with Nate Colbert for the most home runs by a Padres rookie before the All-Star break. Colbert went on to hit 24 home runs in that expansion season, 1969. Daily Sentinel AP SPORTS BRIEFS Browns sign rookie QB Kizer to contract the 94th overall pick in the draft. Linebacker T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh’s first-round choice, is the only player among the team’s eight draft picks that has yet to come to terms. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer has signed his four-year contract. The deal is projected to be worth nearly $5 million and include a $1.7 million signing bonus. The second-round draft pick from Notre Dame has shown progress during the team’s mandatory minicamp and Kizer took snaps on Tuesday with Cleveland’s starting offense. Kizer is battling veterans Cody Kessler and Brock Osweiler for the starting job. Kizer has been pleased with his development so far, but reiterated Wednesday that he has a lot to learn. The Browns, who have started 27 quarterbacks since 1999, selected Kizer with the No. 52 overall pick. He started 25 games for the Fighting Irish, passing for 5,809 yards and 47 touchdowns. Cleveland has signed eight of its 10 draft picks from 2017. Steelers RB Bell a no-show as team starts minicamp PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell skipped the first day of the team’s minicamp on Tuesday. Bell is recovering from offseason groin surgery and has yet to sign his one-year tender after the Steelers placed a franchise tag on him in March. Coach Mike Tomlin called it a “waste of time” to discuss Bell’s absence. The team wraps up minicamp on Thursday. The Steelers did sign their third-round pick, safety Cameron Sutton, to a four-year deal. Details were not disclosed. Sutton intercepted seven passes in four seasons at Tennessee before being selected by the Steelers with Notices Yard Sale Houses For Rent Want To Buy Small Engine Mechanic: F/T Position w/benefits Large Garage Sale 1681 Tycoon Rd June 16-17 Tools, Guns , Fenton Glass and hunting equipment misc items 2 bdrm house for rent in Gallipolis. 1 Small dog OK reference & security deposit required.

(AP) — The Golden State Warriors say no decision has been made regarding a potential White House visit to celebrate their NBA title. The Warriors issued a statement Tuesday saying that “today is all about celebrating our championship” and that they have not received an invitation to the White House. The statement added the organization would make those decisions when and if necessary.” The team issued the statement following multiple reports that the Warriors had voted unanimously against making a White House trip. Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed his disappointment with the election results last November saying after the election that President Donald Trump regularly used “racist, misogynist, insulting words” during his campaign. Members of the Super champion New England Patriots and national college football champion Clemson have visited the White House for championship celebrations since Trump took office.

Gilbert and Griffin are expected to meet again this week. Griffin has been linked to past openings in Orlando, Atlanta and Milwaukee, but his preference is to stay with Cleveland as he and his wife, Meredith, have immersed themselves in the community. Once the front office situation is settled, the next priorities are addressing Cleveland’s weaknesses: defense, an aging bench and backup point guard. The Cavaliers couldn’t stop the Warriors during critical stretches in the Finals, and there were warning signs long before Durant got free for dunks, Curry drained wide-open 3-pointers or Golden State averaged 121.6 points. Cleveland’s defense was suspect all season, ranking among the worst in statistical efficiency. The Cavs often outscored their mistakes, but the lack of a rim protector (Bogut was injured in his first minute on the floor) and a defensive commitment proved costly. Both areas must be fixed. Korver, Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson and Deron Williams contributed during the regular season and earlier rounds against Indiana, Toronto and Boston, but with the exception of Jefferson, the seasoned vets were overmatched against the younger, quicker Warriors. Come On Over To Bob’s... All your favorite flowers fresh from the greenhouse! CINCINNATI (AP) — John Ross got his diploma. Joe Mixon lost 10 pounds. The Bengals’ top rookies spent the last few weeks finishing their college careers and getting ready to try to make an immediate impact in the next one. The receiver and running back will be front and center between now and the season opener. An offense that slipped considerably last year is hoping the infusion of its top two draft picks will make a big difference right from the start against the Ravens on Sept. 10 at Paul Brown Stadium. The rookies are up for it. “Everybody’s a home run threat,” Mixon said Tuesday before the first practice of a mandatory minicamp. “What we’re adding to this offense with me and John, and they’ve already got A.J. (Green) and Brandon (LaFell), just the other pieces added to the puzzle — it’s going to be dangerous.” That’s the hope down the line. First, the rookies had some things to complete. Ross finished his undergraduate degree at Washington, a big moment for his family. “It was probably bigger than getting drafted in my opinion, just because I feel like it’s something that can’t be taken away from you,” Ross said. “I was Now Just $10.99 each or 2 for $20.00 Bob’s Better Bloom Premium Annuals Reg $3.99 each or $27.99 Flat Now Just $1.99 each or $14.99 Flat For the Late Gardener 4½ inch Vegetable Plants Now $1.49 4½ inch Herbs Now $1.99 Good Selection Trees and Shrubs...

Cincinnati took Mixon in the second round because he’s so well-rounded, overlooking his suspension as a freshman at Oklahoma for punching a woman in the face. Mixon’s locker is right next to Ross’ locker, leaving the two linked in all they do going forward. “I just can’t wait to see him on the field,” Mixon said of Ross. “When we’re on the field, everything is going to take care of itself.” For the second year in a row, the Bengals are entering a season with a lot of newness on offense. Last year, Ken Zampese was promoted to offensive coordinator after Hue Jackson became Browns head coach. Rookie receiver Tyler Boyd developed as the season went along. “Last year, there was a lot of stuff that was new with (Zampese) taking over as the coordinator, then a couple new receivers,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. “We don’t have that this year.” NOTES: The start of the first minicamp practice was delayed about 15 minutes because of storms. The Bengals are the most northern NFL city without a covered field. … CB Dre Kirkpatrick didn’t participate in drills as he recovers from a hand injury.

He ran and did agility drills on Tuesday, but didn’t wear a helmet or participate in any passing drills that would force him to extend his arms. The speedy receiver — he ran a record 4.22 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine — got a crash course in the Bengals’ offense after he was drafted. There was a lot more to learn when he showed up for minicamp; the team gave the rookies a deeper look into the playbook. “Everything’s not all new,” he said. “I’ve seen a few of the things. It’s new material, but it’s not as hard as I thought it would be.” Mixon spent the last few weeks losing weight. He was 238 pounds when the Bengals drafted him, the most he’s weighed during his football career. He increased his workouts, cut back on carbohydrates and dropped 10 pounds for the start of minicamp. “I’ll never be that big again,” he said. “Never.” Mixon’s role will be one of the main story lines of training camp. The Bengals have incumbents Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard, who is recover- 60662954 much all their guys are in their 20s. Pretty much all their big-name guys are in their 20s, and they don’t show any signs of slowing down. … From my eyes, they’re built to last a few years.” The Cavaliers aren’t constructed for the same longevity. James is under contract for one more season, and there’s no guarantee the three-time champion and five-time Finals loser will sign a long-term deal in 2018 with Cleveland despite his deep devotion to Northeast Ohio. Last week, James said he didn’t know how many years he has left. It’s possible that his outside business interests, which include a desire to one day own an NBA team, could push him into retirement. That’s down the road. A more pressing concern for the team is the status of general manager David Griffin, whose contract expires on June 30. Aided by having James to build around and owner Dan Gilbert’s willingness to spend, Griffin has assembled and overseen a roster that has made three straight Finals and is positioned to stay atop the East. Griffin has been with the club since 2010, taking over as GM when Chris Grant was fired in 2014. He’s the one who persuaded Irving to sign a long-term deal with Cleveland before it was known that James was coming back and Griffin pulled off the trade for Kevin Love. He acquired veterans J.R.

Cleveland’s two stars embraced, and as they headed toward the locker room and Queen’s “We Are the Champions” played inside thundering Oakland’s Oracle Arena, James delivered a message to his teammate and the world. “We’ll be back,” he said. “We’ll be back.” They were fabulous and flawed defending NBA champs, their deficiencies in depth and defense exposed by a superior team in the Finals. One year after their historic comeback, James and the Cavaliers couldn’t catch the Golden State Warriors. Unable to defend their title despite the league’s highest payroll, rampaging through the Eastern Conference playoffs and James’ brilliance against the free-wheeling Warriors for five games, the Cavs are no longer the team to beat. They’re still championship caliber, but a step or two behind a glittering Golden State team that went 81-18 in Durant’s first season and built for the long haul. At 32, and playing as well as ever in 14 seasons, James has a possible dynasty blocking his path. “I need to sit down and figure this thing out,” said James, who averaged 33.6 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in his seventh consecutive Finals. “They’re going to be around for a while.
