Peoples Bank
Grants available from community foundation
Foundation, Inc.
Awards $26K in Evans Scholarships
MARIETTA, OHIO — The Peoples Bank Foundation, Inc., a nonproﬁt corporation formed to make
donations in Peoples Bank market areas, has awarded
scholarships to 27 high school graduates totaling
$26,000. Recipients were selected from the bank’s
market areas throughout Ohio, West Virginia and
Kentucky.
Daniel Dunfee of Racine, Ohio and a recent graduate of Southern Local High School received a $1,000
Robert E. Evans Scholarship.
Peoples Bank created the scholarship to honor the
memory of Robert E. Evans who began his career
with Peoples Bank in 1970 as a trust ofﬁcer. In 1980,
he became the ﬁrst President and CEO of Peoples
Bancorp, Inc. and in 1987 became the sixth President
of Peoples Bank. Evans retired in 2005 and passed
away later that same year.
“Mr. Evans inspired those around him to conduct
themselves with professionalism and high standards
of personal integrity,” said Staci Matheney, Chairman and President, Peoples Bank Foundation, Inc.
Matheny added, “He was passionate about continuous
learning and being a good corporate citizen. He also
appreciated the importance of persistence, determination, and the value of higher education.”
Today, the Robert E. Evans Education Fund provides scholarships to high school graduates who live
in the markets served by Peoples Bank and who will
be pursuing majors in business, education, engineering, liberal arts, math, science or technology. The
recipients must meet other criteria including demonstrating some of the same qualities that were important to Evans.
Peoples Bancorp Foundation contributions focus
on charitable giving in four major areas: community
investment and economic development, youth and
education, human services programs that improve the
social needs of low- to moderate-income communities
and individuals, and the arts and culture. Organizations receiving grants meet those requirements and
serve the markets where Peoples Bank currently has
ofﬁce locations.

How Burberry used
a popular Chinese
app to boost sales
LONDON (AP) — In a bid to reinvigorate sales in
the massive Chinese market, British luxury fashion
brand Burberry this year used a strategy that has paid
off handsomely: ramping up advertising on China’s
popular WeChat social media app.
Burberry saw a 4 percent rise in overall sales in the
second quarter, more than expected, thanks largely
to a resurgence in mainland China, where sales had
slowed in recent years.
Analysts note the company boosted spending on
the WeChat app, which counts almost a billion users
in China and serves as a multipurpose app combining
social media and shopping services.
The company said its advertising campaign on
WeChat for the launch of a new bag — the DK88,
which retails for almost $2,000 — saw its customer
reach triple on the app. Sales growth in the country
was in the mid-single digits, above the global growth
rate.
Ken Odeluga, an analyst for City Index, says that
focusing so heavily on WeChat is a strategic move that
competitors in luxury goods have yet to make. Some
companies prefer to focus on physical stores to preserve the aura of luxury. Also, some online shopping
sites have been accused of selling fakes.
Burberry has prided itself on combining digital
marketing with sales, such as by allowing shoppers to
immediately buy online what they see on the catwalk
during a fashion show.
The company said that the WeChat advertising was
only part of its overall sales strategy, which included
new physical stores.
“The company says they are seeing ‘top customers
returning’ to their stores,” said Steve Clayton, fund
manager at HL Select UK Growth Shares. “In other
words, the Chinese are spending again.”
Investors welcomed the results, sending Burberry’s
share price up 2 percent to 16.11 pounds.
In Europe, Britain led the trend of steady sales
growth while demand in the Americas declined, partially due to the brand’s reduction of discounted products — an attempt to boost the image of Burberry as
a luxury good.
“Burberry is attempting to recapture the magical
quality which luxury purveyors strive for — which is
brand value,” said Odeluga.

Higher Education Innovation Grant Program
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio
— The Ohio Department
of Higher Education
awarded an Innovation
Grant to Shawnee State
University in collaboration with the University of Rio Grande, Rio
Grande Community College and Southern State
Community College.
The Innovation Grant
will allow SSU and the
partnering institutions
to expand and devise
institutional strategies
designed to promote

education excellence and
economic efﬁciency for
students and citizens
of the Southeast Ohio
region.
The proposed program
will focus on strengthening partnerships between
institutions so they can
increase completion
rates in high demand,
career ready programs
and reduce the student
cost completion. The
program proposes to
achieve these goals
through offering a series

of interconnected programs aimed at improving science, technology,
engineering and math
(STEM) awareness and
deﬁciencies that keep a
student from completing
a degree in those ﬁelds
of study.
The program will help
participating students
understand better what
is expected from them in
their programs and the
skillsets they will need to
complete their degree.
“We are very excited to

have received the Innovation Grant,” said Dr. Jeff
Bauer, Provost and Vice
President of Academic
Affairs. “These funds will
allow the university to
provide valuable instruction and training in a
coding skillset that will
help prepare our regional
workforce for success in
tomorrow’s world.”
For more information

Grant, please contact the
Ofﬁce of the Provost at

MU sonography program receives accreditation
HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
— Marshall University’s
diagnostic medical
sonography program
has been awarded initial
accreditation for its
general and vascular/
adult echocardiographic
concentrations by the
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health
Education Programs
(CAAHEP).
Sonography, a painless medical procedure
that uses high-frequency
sound waves to produce
visual images of organs,
tissues and blood ﬂow
inside the body, is considered interchangeable
with “ultrasound,” due
to the use of sound
waves to create an
image.
In its ﬁfth year,
Marshall’s ultrasound
program currently has
seven students. Students are asked to select
in which concentration
they wish to specialize
and sit for the professional boards, according to Dr. Rita Fisher,
program director for
the St. Mary’s School of
Medical Imaging.
“Graduates of our
program from the last
few years have all found
employment as the job
market is fairly robust,
especially in echocardiography,” Fisher
said. “Salary ranges are
variable depending on
where the sonographer
chooses to work, but
a good estimate of a
starting salary would
be around $20 per hour
and up.”
Fisher said they will
be adding breast sonography as a concentra-

tion next year, which will
be open to both sonography and radiography
students who are specializing in mammography.
She said future plans
include the addition of
fetal echocardiography
as a concentration.
With the collaboration
between the Marshall
College of Health Professions and the St. Mary’s
School of Medical

Imaging, the Bachelor
of Science degree in
medical imaging with an
emphasis in diagnostic
medical sonography was
the ﬁrst accredited bachelor’s degree program
in the state that offered
its students the choice
to specialize in general
or vascular and echocardiography sonography.
The St. Mary’s medical imaging program

accepts 24 students a
year and eight of those
students will be chosen
for the sonography track.
For more information on
enrolling in the program,

French court annuls $1.27 billion
tax adjustment on Google
PARIS (AP) — A
French court has annulled
a 1.11 billion-euro ($1.27
billion) tax adjustment
imposed on Google by
France’s tax authorities.
The French tax administration argued that
Google had to pay taxes
in France for the 20052010 period because the
Californian ﬁrm and its

Irish subsidiary have
been selling a service for
inserting online ads to
clients in France for years
through its Google search
engine.
But the Paris administrative court noted
Wednesday that the Irish
company Google Ireland
Limited doesn’t have a
“permanent establish-

ment” in France via the
French company Google
France, also a subsidiary
of the U.S. group Google
Inc.
The court added that
Google France doesn’t
have the human resources
or the technical means to
allow it to carry out the
contentious advertising
services on its own.

THEIR VIEW

The state
is not God
By Cal Thomas
Contributing columnist

Anyone looking for another reason not to leave
life-and-death issues to the state need look no
further than the conﬂict between the British government and the parents of 11-month-old Charlie
Gard.
Governments, including the British courts and
the European court of human rights have refused
to allow Charlie’s parents to take him to the U.S.
for what they believe is life-saving treatment. In
what many will regard as a cynical decision, UK
judge Nicholas Francis gave Charlie’s parents just
two days to present new evidence as to why their
son should receive experimental treatment. A
ﬁnal decision will be handed down in a hearing on
Thursday.
Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital where
Charlie is on a ventilator, his brain reportedly
damaged from a rare genetic condition, argue
that he should be removed from life support and
allowed to die. President Trump has offered help.
Pope Francis also supports the parent’s right to
determine what is best for their child.
Charlie’s parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard,
believe an experimental treatment known as nucleoside therapy might work on their son. British
doctors say it won’t improve the child’s “quality of
life.” They want him to die. Apparently that’s OK
with the state-run National Health Service (NHS),
which is always looking for ways to cut costs.
The parents have raised enough money to take
Charlie to America for treatment. Wouldn’t most
parents do all they could for their child, especially
one so young who is helpless and at the mercy of
adults? I know I would for my grandson, who is
also named Charlie.
Judges, bureaucrats and politicians should not
be allowed to make such a decision, but the growing power of the state is increasingly assuming
the power to determine who is ﬁt to live and who
should die — and to quote Scrooge from Charles
Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” “decrease the surplus population.” Who, or what, can stop them,
assuming a majority want to?
When the state is allowed to assign value to a
human life, the unwanted, the inconvenient, the
sick, the elderly and the handicapped are all at
risk. Seeing lives as less than valuable, or of no
value, will bring us to the point where only the ﬁt
and healthy are allowed to live. Margaret Sanger,
founder of Planned Parenthood, wrote in 1921,
“The most urgent problem today is how to limit
and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally
and physically defective.” The Nazis took this
thinking to its most inhumane level with horriﬁc
results.
At a Monday hearing, Judge Francis said “new
and powerful” evidence submitted by the parents
and their attorney could overturn previous rulings.
That would be good, but the larger question is
why does a court get to decide what health care is
best for a child? That should be the parents’ privilege and responsibility.
MPs in Britain have introduced a bill to parliament, which would decriminalize abortion
“by repealing a law that dates back to Victorian
times.” How short a step is it from the complete
devaluation of the unborn to infanticide, to euthanasia and ﬁnally and inevitably a full embrace of
eugenics?
It was University of Chicago professor of biology, Dr. Leon Kass, who issued this stern warning:
“We have paid some high prices for the technological conquest of nature, but none so high as the
intellectual and spiritual costs of seeing nature as
mere material for our manipulation, exploitation
and transformation. With the powers of biological
engineering gathering, there will be splendid new
opportunities for similar degradation of our view
of man. … If we come to see ourselves as meat,
then meat we shall become.”
Charlie Gard is not “meat.” He and his parents
should be allowed to come to America. As long as
hope lives, so does Charlie.

THEIR VIEW

Don’t be ashamed of loved one’s addiction
By Tony Luke Jr.
Contributing columnist

I’m sitting in my restaurant not long after
my son Tony Luke III
dies, and an elderly
gentleman comes in
and he says to me:
“Hey, Tony, I heard
your son passed away.
I just want to tell you
how incredibly sorry I
am.”
“Well thank you. I
appreciate it.”
“Do you mind if I
asked you how he died?
Did he have cancer,
was he … “
“No,” I said, “he died
of a heroin overdose.”
“Damn it, these kids,
the choices they make.”
I didn’t get upset
with him. I just
thought: “Wow. This is
the view. This is why
no one talks about it.”
Yes, my son was
absolutely responsible
for his actions. But
when there’s an addiction — and I believe
it’s a disease — those
are not the actions, the
choices, of a rational,
thinking person. Those
are the actions of people who are in absolute
survival mode.
When that survival
mode kicks in, when
it’s live or die, take the
pain away or don’t take
the pain away, you’re
scared to death, and
you’ll trample over
people to get what you
need.
Every day I saw my
son, he had the look
of being ashamed, as
if he were losing, as if
he were weak. Because
that’s what he hears.
You’re weak. A strong
person could get out of
this.
Tony had fallen into
partying when he was
young. Marijuana, pills.
That was their version
of alcohol. You never
think it’s going to lead
to anything more.
But he was always
athletic and he was
a wrestler in school.
When he got into a car
accident and hurt his
back, the doctors put
him on Percocets. But
one wasn’t enough to
take the pain away, so
he’s taking two, three,
four. But he was still
hurting and got his
prescription reﬁlled
and before we knew it,

he was addicted. He
had to have them. He
couldn’t function without them.
After a while, the
doctors ﬁgure you’re
better and they cut you
off. So then you start
buying them on the
streets. But pills are
super expensive — 25,
30 bucks a pop. You
can keep that going for
a while if you have a
job and money, but as
he got older, Tony lost
his job and he had lost
his health care. Then
he had a car accident
that complicated the
pain and back issues.
He was taking so many
Percocets and they
didn’t do much for him
because he’d been using
them for so long.
So what do you do
when there’s no money
and nowhere to turn?
You go to heroin. It’s
ridiculously cheap.
Anyone can afford it.
No one wants to
be an addict. No one
wants to feel like crap
every single day of
their life when they get
up. They don’t want it.
Tony had been to rehab
twice, and each time
he came out, he was
better. He was trying,
he really was trying. He
was really working his
butt off to be better.
But this is a disease
that takes over your
whole body. It ravages
your body. You don’t
have any control. It
gets into your mind,
your body, whatever
the illness is. You ﬁght,
you ﬁght, you ﬁght.
My son Michael calls
it the Monster. It’s a
great term because it is
a monster. It’s so big,
it’s so large and it’s so
scary that you can’t
ﬁght it. You ﬁght it but
— it would be like me
literally ﬁghting a great
athlete, who was 6-foot11 and 400 pounds of
solid muscle. If I ﬁght
him every day, I just
get tired. I can’t beat
him.
Tony was a good
kid, truly he was. But
the Monster took
over, made that kid do
things, say things, act
in a certain way that he
never would have, ever,
ever. But the Monster
has to feed and nothing
matters then. You lie,
you manipulate, you

say whatever you need
to do to take the pain
away.
And that’s the road
he traveled. That’s the
road he fought for eight
years, nine years. It
was ridiculous to ﬁght.
Go to rehab, come out.
“I got this, Dad.” Go
to the pastor, go to the
church every day, go to
meetings. “I got this,
I’m trying.”
And he did. He tried
and tried and he tried.
And then, on March
27, he had a moment of
weakness and made a
decision, and the Monster beat him for good.
The day before, Sunday, he was sweeping
and mopping the ﬂoor
of my store and he said:
“Dad, I can’t stand it
anymore. My back. Do
you mind if I go home?”
And I’m like: “No, we’re
done. I’ll ﬁnish the rest.
We’re good.”
He said: “Dad, I’ve
been humbled. I just, I
want to take care of my
children, I want to … “
Then he kissed me,
and as he left, I said,
“Tony, I’ll see you on
Wednesday,” because
we were closed Monday and Tuesday. And
he died Monday.
I like to feel that he
died with some hope
in his heart, that there
was something. And I
can’t imagine the pain
he was in to shoot up
again, knowing that
there’s something here,
maybe. So he had to be
in, physically, so much
pain.
After the guy said
that to me in the store
I thought, “Man, if I
feel this way, how many
families are feeling this
way?”
At the same time,
everywhere I look in
the news I’m hearing
about opioids, and I
hear 3,000 dead, and
4,000 dead, and I’m
thinking to myself:
“This isn’t about numbers. My son is not a
statistic.”
But he is if the
media don’t connect
those numbers to real
people and the families
who love them. And
too often they don’t
connect the dots
because families are
silent, because they’re
ashamed of what people will say about them

or their addicted kids.
So I ﬁnally said: “You
know what? I’m not
ashamed. I don’t care
what anyone says about
me. My son was not a
number. My son was
not somebody to be
thrown away. My son
was not weak.”
I wanted to get this
story out, but I wasn’t
sure how to do it. I
didn’t think we needed
another charity or a
foundation. And in the
meantime I’m researching heroin, and seeing
the terms “brown” and
“white” everywhere,
and then I ﬁnally think,
well what about an
initiative? What if we
ﬁnd a way to encourage
people to talk about the
people they love? To
promote conversations
between survivors and
the public? To remove
the stigma?
I thought, if people
see me taking the heat,
they’ll realize there’s
nothing to be ashamed
of. That it’s OK to talk
about addiction and
their loved ones.
I worked with a
group of people that
helped me come up
with Brown and White
as just a hashtag
(#brownandwhite). I
didn’t want Tony Luke
on there. This is not
about me. It’s about my
son to me, but not to
you. I don’t want you to
think this is my cause.
It’s our cause.
Next I get a call from
a local TV station, and
they said, “Would you
come in to talk about
your son?” And I said,
“I will.”
And then boom, it
exploded.
So, keep it going.
Go to Twitter and put
pictures of your loved
ones there. Get those
faces out, those names
out. Put a name to
your story. Send it to
your congressman. Tell
them: “I am not a number. Brown and White.
I am not a number.”
Let them know that
this isn’t a statistical
problem to be solved,
these are people to be
helped.

War battle to be fought
in Ohio.
The ceremony will
begin at 11 a.m. on
Saturday in Portland
with the introduction of
Kerry Langdon, Senior
Vice Commander of the
Ohio Department Sons
of Union Veterans of the
Civil War (SUVCW) by
James Oiler and Scott
Britton of the CadotBlessing and Gen. Benjamin Fearing Camps of
the SUVCW.
The ceremony will
consist of wreath laying
by various veterans organizations with a ﬁring
salute rendered by members of the Sons of Union
Veterans of the Civil War
and the playing of TAPS.
The featured speaker
will be Stephen Sam
Hood author of The Rise,
Fall and the Resurrection
of a Confederate General
and The Lost Papers
of Confederate General
John Bell Hood.
The Battle of Bufﬁngton Island was the most
signiﬁcant engagement
in what is referred to as
Morgan’s Raid. General
John Hunt Morgan began
his famous ride by hand
picking nearly 2,500 Confederate cavalrymen and
artillerymen and set off
from Sparta, Tennessee.
On July 18, 1863,
after a long day of ﬁghting with various Meigs
County Militias and
citizens Morgan arrived
at Bufﬁngton Island with
intention of using the
ford back to friendlier
territory. Worn out from
a hard day of riding and
ﬁghting Morgan decided
to rest and take on the
Militia the next morning
which allow Gen. Judah’s
pursuing forces to catch

up to Morgan and the
battle began at approximately 6 a.m. on July 19,
1863.
Fighting raged across
the ﬁelds along the river
for most of the day, but
as Morgan began to
cross the river, the Union
gunboats Moose and
Alleghany Belle shelled
the Confederates and
prevented their crossing.
As more Union forces
arrived, Morgan was
ﬁnally surrounded and
ordered to surrender.
At about 3 p.m., Gen.
Shackleford granted Morgan one hour to surrender, but they used that
time to fortify their position instead. The battle
continued until night fall
when, Morgan, along
with about 400 men,
escaped while the rest of
his force surrendered.
He again tried to cross
the river up between
Reedsville and Hockingport, around Belleville
but was again turned
away by the Union gunboats and cavalry. While
some of his men did
reach the southern shore,
others drown and Morgan was forced to turn
north. Union forces continued to pursue Morgan
until ﬁnally on July 26,
he and his men were captured just north of East
Liverpool in Columbiana
County. During this
battle two future U.S.
Presidents participated
— Rutherford B. Hayes
and William McKinley.
From best estimates,
approximately 3,000
Union forces and 1,800
Confederate were
engaged and this ended
the only battle of the
Civil War to take place in
Ohio.
Looking to venture out
of the county, there is
plenty to do around the
region as well.

the Hull Pottery Association National Show will
display the largest collection of Hull pottery in
the world.
The company began
production in 1905 and
their early lines consisted
of common utilitarian
stoneware.
Like many other American pottery and glass
companies, Hull closed in
the 1980s due primarily
to foreign competition.
So many people still
appreciate the beauty
and workmanship of this
pottery, and the Hull Pottery Association (HPA)
was founded in 1993.
The mission of this a
non-proﬁt organization
is to “preserve, educate,
and promote Hull Pottery, its collectors, and
its heritage.”
The Association sponsors the National Show
each year in Crooksville,
giving attendees and club
members an opportunity to see thousands of
pieces of not only Hull
Pottery, but also pottery
made by other American manufacturers like

Farm animals still an issue in New Haven
By Mindy Kearns
Special to the Register

NEW HAVEN — It
was an emotional plea by
some New Haven residents Monday evening
that led town council
members to forego
increasing ﬁnes for those
harboring farm animals
within the municipality,
and instead agreeing to
hold a public meeting
that might change the
ordinance altogether.
The council recently
instructed Police Chief
Dave Hardwick to deliver
letters to seven residents
who were known to have
farm animals, which is
against a town ordinance.
At the June 26 meeting, it was announced the
council would be considering increasing ﬁnes for
those who failed to comply with the ordinance.
But residents passionate
about urban agriculture
not only convinced the
council members to halt
the increase, but also to
consider allowing the animals in the corporation
with certain regulations.
Eric and Jackie Blain

live in town and have
chickens, ducks, and
goats, all behind a privacy
fence. Jackie said she
petitioned the previous
administration, requesting urban agriculture be
allowed in town.
She said at that time,
she was told in the open
meeting by a council
member that “miniature”
animals were considered
pets and not livestock.
She described her goats
as being so small that her
six-year-old must bend
over to pet them. She
also said she has spent
approximately $4,000 on
the animals and necessary
equipment and fencing to
keep them from smelling
or creating a nuisance.
Jackie Blain further
stated she uses the animals to provide goat milk
and eggs for her family
as healthy alternatives
to store-bought food.
She also offered to hold
classes to educate people
on urban agriculture.
Eric Blain told the
council while there is
a municipal ordinance
against the animals, West
Virginia Code 8-11-2

allows town ofﬁcials to
use discretion on any
ordinance. He asked why
many town ordinances
are being violated, but
only the one is being
enforced.
He proposed the town
set up a committee to see
what the people want,
and possibly allow residents to have the animals
with a fee and regular
inspections of the property. He asked the council
to put a “stay” on the animals in town at the present time and look into a
new ordinance.
“Just because something is against an ordinance doesn’t mean it’s
a nuisance,” Eric Blain
said.
Tatum Roush said she,
too, has chickens for
healthy reasons. She said
her family beneﬁts from
the eggs and that the
birds have turned into
pets for her children. Also
attending to support the
animals were Terry and
Trish Gilkey.
But on the opposing
side, Sandra Grimm said
she has health problems
and does smell the ani-

mals on the Blain property. She added she and
her husband have been
residents of New Haven
for 40 years, and even if
they wanted to sell their
property, no one would
want it with farm animals
nearby.
Mayor Jerry Spradling
suggested the town could
reach a “happy medium,”
allowing animals with
certain regulations.
Councilman Matt Shell
said he felt 97 percent of
the town’s residents did
not care if their neighbors
had animals, and only
three percent do care
about what everyone else
is doing. It was Shell at
the end of the discussion
who made a motion to
table action on those having the animals and hold
an open meeting to form
an ordinance that would
satisfy the majority of the
people. The remaining
council members agreed.
The meeting will be
held July 17, 7:30 p.m.,
at the New Haven Community Center. The next
regular council meeting
will be July 24 at 6 p.m.

Gallipolis parking fines rise
New penalties to
be assessed
By Dean Wright

deanwright@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — Gallipolis City Commission
recently approved a raise
in parking ﬁnes as they
had previously remained
the same for a few
decades.
According to ordinance
amendment information,
once an orange parking
violation ticket is issued,
ﬁnes are expected to be
paid within 72 hours.
After that, the ﬁne raises.
After 30 days, it raises
again. Previous legislation listed tickets as
needing to be paid within
72 hours or else the ﬁnes
would rise.
Previous ﬁnes for limited area, more than one
space parking and no
parking zone violations
were listed at $5 with $15
due after 72 hours had
passed and $30 after 30
days had passed.
Double parking had a

ﬁne of $10, then $15 and
ﬁnally $30. Handicapped
parking space violations
had a ﬁne of $25 before
jumping to $35. Fire
hydrant zones had a similar penalty.
New penalties include
the same time limitations but limited space,
more than one space,
double parking and no
parking zone violations
have jumped to $15
ﬁnes. After 72 hours, it

becomes $30 and after 30
days it becomes $75.
Individuals using handicapped parking spaces
without proper documentation will be ﬁned $100
initially, $150 if not paid
within 72 hours and then
$200 if not paid within
30 days. Those parking in
front of ﬁre hydrants will
be ﬁned $50 within the
ﬁrst 72 hours, if not paid
it will jump to $75 and
then $100 if not paid in

30 days. Other violations
can be ticketed at $15 in
the ﬁrst 72 hours, $30 if
late and $75 if not paid in
30 days.
City ofﬁcials cited the
change as bringing ﬁnes
“up to date” with the
changing economy as well
as to be used as a deterrent to those who would
break the law.

No body found in search for student
CHESAPEAKE,
Ohio (AP) — A search
prompted by a Facebook
video suggesting the
body of a West Virginia
college student last seen
in 2002 was buried in
Ohio has ended with no
bodies found, a sheriff
said Tuesday.
Lawrence County
Sheriff Jeff Lawless said
in a statement that the
extensive search for the
body of Marshall University student Samantha Burns that began

Monday morning ended
Tuesday afternoon.
Lawless had said the
FBI was leading the
search of the property
near Chesapeake, across
the Ohio River from
Huntington, West Virginia.
The 19-year-old Burns,
of West Hamlin, West
Virginia, has been missing since Nov. 11, 2002.
She disappeared after
telephoning her mother
that she was leaving a
mall near Huntington,

but she never arrived

A guide to fishing in Mason County
By Morgan McKinniss
mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest.com

MASON COUNTY — The outdoors are an
intrinsic part of life in Mason County, and many
in the area are taking advantage of the warm
weather to enjoy ﬁshing in Mason.
While the county does not have a large number of ﬁsh-able ponds and lakes, it does have a
large selection of ﬁsh-able rivers and waterways
- the Ohio and Kanawha rivers and their tributaries.
According to West Virginia District 5 Fisheries Biologist Jeff Hansbarger: “The Ohio River
is deﬁnitely a destination for Mason County
[ﬁshing],” explaining that the West Virginia
record for Blue Catﬁsh came out of the Ohio just
below the R.C. Byrd Locks. “That’s a huge burgeoning ﬁshery right now.”
In the rivers anglers can target several different species of catﬁsh like blues, shovelheads,
ﬂatheads, and channel cats. Also plentiful in the
major waterways are several species of sunﬁsh,
largemouth and smallmouth bass, hybrid and
striped bass, and other smaller ﬁsh. During certain times of the year, muskie and pike are also
targetable in the rivers.
Aside from the main navigable waterways, several creeks and tributaries can be ﬁshed as well.
Across Mason County the creeks include Crab
Creek south on Route 2, 18 and 13 mile creeks,
and Old Town near Camp Conley. Because these
are the feeding sources for the larger waterways,
anything can be found in them that is also found
in the Ohio and Kanawha. There are also several
creeks that increase in size with the rains, and
can be ﬁshed in the larger pools through wading.
One of the most well known ﬁshing hole in
Mason County is Krodel Park, an easy access
water that is stocked with trout in the spring.
The lake is home to some catﬁsh, bluegill, bass,
carp, and of course trout in the spring and early
summer. The trout are a catch and take ﬁsh, due
to the warm temperatures in the summer and
the trout needing a cold environment to survive.
Other ponds in Mason County that offer good
ﬁshing include the Cornstock Wildlife Area and
McClintick Wildlife Management Area, both of
which are prime for bass ﬁshing.
“McClintick is intended as a waterfowl pond,
so it’s not as accessible as others. But that is
what makes it good bass ﬁshing,” explained
Hansbarger.
Hansbarger also gave several tips for catching
the most ﬁsh.
“You have to think hard to dupe some of these
ﬁsh, do what others aren’t.”
He went on to tell that ﬁshing at times when
the water is not typically ﬁshed increases odds,
as well as ﬁshing at dawn or dusk when the light
is changing.
“Some of the best ﬁshing I’ve seen is on a
warm October day during deer season,” he said.
“Some guys will catch ﬁsh all day.”
He also explained that, because ﬁsh are cold
blooded creatures, they are not as active when
the sun is out and the water is warmer, indicating that better ﬁshing occurs at cooler temperatures when the ﬁsh are active and feeding.

House panel seeks to block FDA ‘vaping’ rules
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
House panel is again trying to
exempt increasingly popular
e-cigarettes from new Food
and Drug Administration rules.
The legislation approved
Wednesday by the Republicancontrolled Appropriations
Committee would prevent the
FDA from requiring retroactive
safety reviews of e-cigarettes
already on the market. It would
exempt some premium and
large cigars from those same
regulations. E-cigarette products introduced in the future
would face the safety reviews.
The development comes as
the Trump administration has
delayed enforcement of the
new FDA rule and the e-ciga-

rette industry is hopeful that
efforts to roll back the Obama
regulations will advance both
as legislation and through several pending lawsuits.
Supporters say that “vaping” is far safer than smoking
tobacco cigarettes and that the
products, which generally heat
a liquid nicotine solution into
vapor, can help tobacco smokers quit. They say FDA rules
would lead small companies
that produce the products to
go out of business rather than
undergo expensive regulatory
reviews.
“E-vapor products are 95
percent less harmful than
combustible cigarettes,” said
Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Ga., a

co-sponsor of the plan. “I want
to help people in our country,
America, to cycle off of cigarettes.”
But most panel Democrats
said the products are dangerous and are targeted at children.
“While we do not know what
is in e-cigarettes, study after
study ﬁnds that most show
high levels of formaldehyde
and other cancer-causing
chemicals,” said Rep. Nita
Lowey, D-N.Y., who said the
products are geared toward
getting children hooked on nicotine with ﬂavors such as Fruit
Loops and Gummy Bears.
“The FDA would never be
able to put the genie back in

the bottle, unable to regulate — or even know what is
in — these products, forever,”
Lowey said. A move by Lowey
to defend the FDA rules was
blocked by a 30-22 vote.
The provision to undercut
the FDA rules was attached to
legislation funding the agency’s
budget for the ﬁscal year starting in October.
Democrats succeeded earlier
this year in blocking the move
to exempt existing products on
an earlier spending bill.
Public health groups say the
regulations could allow many
newer tobacco products to
escape scrutiny just as more
people, including teenagers,
are using them. Cigarette

smoking has decreased in
recent years, but vaping and
cigar smoking have risen, and
some of those products come
in ﬂavors appealing to teenagers and young adults.
The nicotine-infused vapor
of e-cigarettes looks like smoke
but doesn’t contain all the
chemicals, tar or odor of regular cigarettes.
The FDA rules will require
e-cigarette brands marketed since February 2007 to
undergo premarket reviews
retroactively. The FDA will
then ensure the product is
“appropriate for the protection
of the public health.” If not,
the agency could take it off the
market.

Trump says he’ll be ‘angry’ if Senate health care bill flops
By Alan Fram
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump
said Wednesday he will
be “very angry” if the
Senate fails to pass a
revamped Republican
health care bill and said
Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell must “pull it
off,” intensifying pressure
on party leaders laboring
to preserve the teetering
measure.
Trump’s remarks came
a day before McConnell,
R-Ky., planned to release
his revised legislation to
a closed-door meeting of
GOP senators. The new
legislation eases some of
the initial Medicaid cuts
and makes other changes
aimed at nailing down

support. But internal
GOP disputes over insurance coverage requirements and other issues
still linger.
With all Democrats
set to vote no, McConnell was aiming at an
initial roll call next week
on beginning debate, a
motion that will require
backing from 50 of the
52 GOP senators. Conservative Sen. Rand Paul,
R-Ky., said Wednesday he
would oppose the motion
and moderate Republican
Susan Collins of Maine
was widely expected to
do the same — leaving
McConnell with zero
margin for error to sustain his party’s goal of
toppling President Barack
Obama’s health care law.
In a White House inter-

view conducted Wednesday for the Christian
Broadcasting Network’s
“The 700 Club,” Trump
said it was time for action
by congressional Republicans who cast scores of
votes “that didn’t mean
anything” to repeal the
2010 law while Obama
was still president.
“Well, I don’t even want
to talk about it because
I think it would be very
bad,” he said when network founder Pat Robertson what would happen if
the effort fails. “I will be
very angry about it and a
lot of people will be very
upset,” Trump said.
Asked if McConnell
would succeed, Trump
said, “Mitch has to pull
it off.”
Besides Paul and Col-

lins, at least two other
Republican senators
publicly said they hadn’t
decided whether to back
McConnell on the initial
vote: conservative Sen.
Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and
Tim Scott, R-S.C.
Cruz is chief author
of a proposal backed by
other conservatives that
would let an insurer sell
low-premium, bare-bones
policies as long as the
company also sold a plan
covering all the services
— like substance abuse
treatment — required by
Obama’s law. Party leaders have still not determined if Cruz’s plan will
be in their measure.
“It depends what’s in
the bill,” Cruz said when
asked if he would back
the leaders’ legislation.

to delay the traditional August recess until work is accomplished
on health care, the debt ceiling and tax reform.

Scott said he was still
trying to determine if the
legislation would help
families and consumers
with pre-existing medical
problems.

McConnell withdrew
an initial package two
weeks ago in the face of
Republican discord that
would have spelled certain defeat.

Yellen says Fed watching slowdown in inflation
By Martin Crutsinger
AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON —
Federal Reserve Chair
Janet Yellen raised the
possibility Wednesday
that the Fed would consider slowing the pace of
its interest rate increases
if inﬂation remained persistently below its target
level.
For the moment, Yellen signaled no change
in policy, indicating that
the three rate hikes since
December will likely be
followed by one more
hike this year. She also
said the Fed wants to
begin gradually trimming its massive $4.5
trillion in bond holdings
later this year, a move
that will also put upward
pressure on interest
rates.
But Wall Street investors took heart from her
slightly more cautious
view of a recent puzzling
slowdown in inﬂation,

believing it could signal
that the Fed that might
be willing to put further
rate hikes on pause.
“Monetary policy is
not on a pre-set course,”
Yellen told lawmakers
on the House Financial
Services Committee.
“We’re watching it very
closely and stand ready
to adjust our policy if it
appears that the inﬂation
undershoot will be persistent.”
The Fed’s key policy
rate, the federal funds
rate, currently stands in
a range of 1 percent to
1.25 percent. The last
three increases occurred
in December, March
and June. Many analysts
believe the Fed will raise
rates one more time this
year, either in September or December.
Yellen’s appearance
took on a bit of a valedictory tone, given that
her current four-year
term as chair will end in
early February before the

next round of congressional hearings. At one
point, she acknowledged
that her appearance
Wednesday before the
House panel and on
Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee
could be her last time to
present the Fed’s semiannual Monetary Policy
Report to Congress.
Yellen, the ﬁrst woman
to head the Fed in the
central bank’s 100 year
history, was asked several times if she would
accept another term if
President Donald Trump
offered it. She didn’t provide a direct answer.
“I am very focused on
trying to achieve our
congressionally mandated objectives and I
really haven’t had to give
further thought at this
point” to the question of
serving a second term,
Yellen told Rep. Carolyn
Maloney, D-New York.
In her testimony,
Yellen took note of a

number of encouraging
factors, including strong
job gains and rising
household wealth that
she said should fuel economic growth over the
next two years.
Yellen repeated the
message she has been
sending all year that the
U.S. economy no longer
needs the extraordinary
support the central bank
began providing in 2008
in the wake of a severe
ﬁnancial crisis and the
deepest recession since
the 1930s.
Since the depths of
the recession, unemployment is now down to 4.4
percent, near a 16-year
low. And while the economy started the year
with a sluggish growth
rate of just 1.4 percent,
it has regained momentum in recent months,
helped by strong job
gains, a revival of business investment and a
strengthening of overseas economies.

Cano 10th-inning homer gives AL 2-1 All-Star win
MIAMI (AP) — Robinson
Cano hugged Francisco Lindor
after the ﬁnal out, exchanged
high-ﬁves with his American
League teammates and put an
arm around the shoulder of
designated hitter/photographer
Nelson Cruz.
Winning the All-Star Game
still seemed to matter, even if it
didn’t mean World Series home
ﬁeld.
Cano homered off Cubs closer Wade Davis leading off the
10th inning and the AL beat
the National League 2-1 Tuesday night for its ﬁfth straight
victory in a game dominated by
this era’s ﬂame-throwers, rather
than its standout sluggers.
At 34, the Seattle second
baseman was among the oldest
players in an event built around
so many of the sport’s new,
young stars, and he was added
to the roster only Friday as
an injury replacement. At that
time, he didn’t realize baseball players and owners had
scrapped the rule giving home-

ﬁeld advantage in the Fall Classic to the league that wins the
Midsummer Classic.
“When I found out, I said,
I might get an at-bat,” Cano
recalled.
Cano earned the MVP honor
with his one clutch swing. He
sent a hanging curve off the
back wall of the right-ﬁeld bullpen, then blew a bubble with
his gum when rounding the
bases.
He remembered telling his
dad: “I’m not picked — like the
last one. If I play, it’s great,” he
said.
Cano hip-bumped Cruz on
the way back the dugout, then
was joined by jumping, hopping and high-ﬁving teammates
on the bench. For good measure, they doused Cano with
sunﬂower seeds and fanned
him with towels.
Craig Kimbrel wiggled out
of a jam in the ninth and right
ﬁelder Justin Upton made a
lunging catch in the 10th to
help the AL. And for the ﬁrst

time since 1964, the rivalry
is back to all even — 43 wins
apiece with two ties, and each
side has scored exactly 361
runs.
Cleveland closer Andrew
Miller ﬁnished off the win.
Manager Brad Mills, taking
over the AL squad because
Indians skipper Terry Francona was recovering from a
heart procedure last week, was
thrilled.
“The last thing we wanted
to do was get pitchers in that
shouldn’t probably be in the
game, and risk an injury or
something,” Mills said.
Cano’s homer came exactly
50 years after the previous AllStar extra-inning homer, when
Tony Perez hit a tiebreaking
15th-inning shot off Catﬁsh
Hunter in the NL’s 2-1 win at
Anaheim, California. Perez,
now a Marlins executive, was

LONDON (AP) — If
past success were all that
mattered when Venus
Williams faces Johanna
Konta in the Wimbledon
semiﬁnals, the matchup
would be quite a mismatch.
For Williams, Thursday’s semiﬁnal will be
her 10th at the All England Club. For Konta,
it’ll be her ﬁrst — and
the ﬁrst for any British
woman in 39 years.
For Williams, it’ll be
the 22nd Grand Slam
semiﬁnal of her career.
For Konta, her second.
“I deﬁnitely think experience helps, for sure. For
a lot of the players I’ve
played, it’s their ﬁrst time
in the third round or the
quarterﬁnals (or) fourth
round,” said the 37-yearold Williams, who is making her 20th Wimbledon
appearance. “So I have
an opportunity to bank
on experience in having
dealt with those sort of
pressures before.”
One more discrepancy:
Williams is aiming for a
sixth Wimbledon singles
championship and eighth
overall at major tournaments. Konta owns zero
such trophies.
“What Venus and
her sister have given
our sport is absolutely
tremendous. The way

they’ve elevated women’s
tennis is truly inspiring,”
Konta said. “So I feel
very excited and very
humbled to be sharing
the court with her again.”
The other semiﬁnal
also is rather lopsided in
terms of past accomplishments: 14th-seeded Garbine Muguruza vs. 87thranked Magdalena Rybarikova. Muguruza won
the French Open last year
and was the runner-up
at Wimbledon in 2015.
Rybarikova, in contrast,
had never been past the
third round at any Grand
Slam tournament in 35
previous attempts.
“She’s going to be
(the) favorite,” Rybarikova said. “I’m here to
enjoy the match. We’ll
see what’s going to happen.”
They’ve played each
other four times previously, each winning
twice. Muguruza won
the only past match at a
major, 14-12 in the third
set at the Australian
Open in 2013. Rybarikova won the only past
match on grass, 6-3, 6-1
at Birmingham in 2015.
This will be the sixth
meeting between Konta
and Williams. Konta won
three, including at the
2016 Australian Open,
where she made her only

other run to a major
semiﬁnal. Williams won
their most recent match,
on red clay at the Italian
Open in May.
“I’ve never played her
on grass,” Konta noted,
“so that will be a new
challenge for me.”
Indeed, the slick
surface lends itself to
Williams’ power-based
game, making her terriﬁc
serve that much tougher
to handle and giving
her groundstrokes extra
sting.
“She’s been on these
courts many, many times,
over many, many years,”
said Anabel Medina Garrigues, who coaches the
woman Williams overwhelmed in the quarterﬁnals, French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko.
“It’s like home for her.”
Williams served at up
to 119 mph (192 mph)
against Ostapenko, ﬁnished with eight aces and
only was broken once.
The American, the oldest Wimbledon semiﬁnalist since Martina Navratilova was the runner-up in
1994, used body serves
to tie up Ostapenko and
could try that tactic again
against Konta.
“It’s deﬁnitely a real
asset. Been working on
that serve. It’s working out for me just in

time, just for these later
rounds,” Williams said.
“I’d like to think that I
can continue to rely on
that as the matches continue.”
Williams said she
thinks Konta plays with
“a very similar style”
— which, coming from
her, is certainly a compliment.
One dynamic that
never existed when
they’ve met in the past:
Konta will have thousands of spectators
pulling loudly for her at
Centre Court.
“I’m sure she’s conﬁdent and determined,”
Williams said. “She’s
probably dealing with
a different kind of pressure, playing here at
home. But she seems to
be handling it well.”
Virginia Wade was
the last British woman
to win Wimbledon, all
the way back in 1977. A
year later, Wade was the
runner-up to Chris Evert.
Since then, the locals
never had a countrywoman to cheer for this late in
the tournament.
Until Konta.
“I’m just surprised,”
said Wade, who sat in
the Royal Box for Konta’s
quarterﬁnal win, “it’s
taken so long.”

Many people in our communities live with a chronic disease. This could include conditions like diabetes, COPD,
heart disease, arthritis, and other health issues that individuals live with daily in their life. According to the Centers

adults have at least one chronic condition, and almost one
of three have multiple chronic conditions.
Several years ago, the Area Agency on Aging District
7 (AAA7), in a joint effort with the Ohio Department of
Aging, began the development of a wellness initiative to
bring classes to the community, for those age 60 and over,
to help with chronic disease self-management, diabetes
self-management, and falls management. Designated staff
members of the AAA7 were trained in these initiatives and
became “master trainers”, allowing them to teach others
in the community to become “community coaches”. These
volunteer coaches help others in their hometown or county
discover helpful ways to live with their chronic diseases
and become empowered to take better care of themselves.
Don Davis of Scioto County is one of those individuals
who has been serving as a volunteer community coach in
order to help others in his community who are living with
a chronic disease. Having been active in the aging ﬁeld at
both the local and state level for almost 40 years, and living
with two chronic illnesses himself, Davis was drawn to the
call for volunteers after reading a newspaper article. He’s
been volunteering in this capacity since September 2015.
Through his volunteer role, Davis is teamed up with
an additional volunteer community coach. Together, they
work to present the materials to participants and encourage and facilitate dialogue throughout the six-week course
that is provided to participants at no cost. AAA7 provides
both the technical course and material training to potential
community coaches on how to instruct the sessions, and
prepares them before they start their class. The AAA7 also
provides all course materials and co-instructors, secures
the training site, schedules the sessions, and registers
participants. Potential volunteers only need to give of their
time – all materials and training is provided to each volunteer at no cost.
Through the workshops, community coaches provide
support to participants and discuss helpful topics such as:
learning ways to deal with pain, fatigue and depression;
discovering ways to be more physically active; learning
how to eat healthier; learning better ways to talk with
physicians and family about health issues; setting personal
goals; and ﬁnding ways to relax and better deal with stress.

Senior events
planned for July

MASON COUNTY — Senior
citizens at the Gene Salem Senior
Center in Point Pleasant will be talking travel in July, when Mary Fowler
of Traveltime Tours visits the center.

Don Davis of Scioto County has been a community wellness
coach volunteer with the Area Agency on Aging District 7 since
September 2015. He is encouraging others to participate in this
capacity as a way to give back to the community.

Davis shares that what he feels those attending ﬁnd most
useful varies from person to person, but that through the
basic information presented and sharing time during the
workshop, several ideas are usually discovered and found
useful by those who attend.
“Being a coach is one of the most rewarding experiences
that I have ever felt,” Davis shares. “All you have to do
is see a participant respond as if they just had an “a-ha!”
minute or have them tell you that they have found something new which they tried and it worked! This happens
frequently in the various sessions we present.”
Davis encourages those who are interested to consider
becoming a community coach. The AAA7 is currently
recruiting for volunteer community coaches in the following counties: Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto
and Vinton.
“As I have discovered, we make a difference,” he says.
“I have seen participants try something new and embrace
it; others have blossomed and acted as ‘assistant coaches’;
many have taken signiﬁcant steps in accepting their condition and ﬁnding effective ways of dealing with it. If we
have helped only one participant in a particular session, we
have made their life better. What more can you ask?”
The AAA7 currently has a Community Coach Training
coming up in Jackson, Ohio, beginning July 10th. Those
who are interested must attend all ﬁve days of the training:

Fowler will speak to the seniors on
July 6 at 11 a.m. She will be telling
of an opportunity to participate in
a dinner and show trip to Dayton,
Ohio.
Three additional events will take
place at the Point Pleasant center
during the month, including a
presentation by Phil Schenk of the
West Virginia Partnership for Elderly
Living on July 11 at 11 a.m. He will
speak on “Your Mouth, Your Teeth,
Your Health.”
Wellness checks will be conducted
by Medi-Home Health on July 18

July 10, 11, 12, 17 and 18. Training will be held at the Jackson County Water Company, located at 124 West Huron
Street in Jackson each day noted from 9:00 am – 4:30 pm.

please call Carla Cox (extension 284) or Vicky Abdella
(extension 254) at 1-800-582-7277.

A night to remember
By Beth Sergent

bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT — This year,
prom season includes a new tradition in the area for those who aren’t
in high school anymore.
The inaugural Twin Rivers Tower
Prom was recently held at the apartment complex on Second Street in
Point Pleasant, which is primarily a
retirement community. The theme
was “Another Time” and was an allinclusive, free prom experience for
anyone who wished to participate.
Amanda Jordan, complex manager, said in all, there were around
60 residents who participated, which
was over half the building. Prom
goers made dinner reservations on
the ﬁrst ﬂoor “restaurant” and were
greeted by a hostess who sat them.
There were so many residents who
signed up, there had to be two dinner services.
“We wanted a total prom feel,” Jordan said, while sitting at the maitre
d’s podium at the “restaurant.”
Jordan added, the company who
owned the complex donated the food
and volunteers helped collect used

Rivers Tower Prom. Pictured at left, prom
organizer Vada Nutter helps crown Prom
Queen Linda Smith.

prom dresses from giveaways in the
area. So, if anyone wanted to do a
real prom dress, they had access to
one.
Vada Nutter, a resident of the towers, has brought many new activities
to the building, including the idea
to do the prom after seeing it done
in larger cities. Nutter, who was
the driving force behind the night,
helped decorate the “restaurant” and
the actual prom area, which included
a DJ spinning songs from the 1950s,
60s and 70s. There was even an after
prom party on the patio where CocaColas in glass bottles were served.
And, what is a prom, without a
queen? Anyone who wished to be

prom queen put their name in a hat.
The lucky lady picked at random
to wear the tiara donated by Siders
Jewelers was Linda Smith. Chosen
as Smith’s prom court were residents
Phyllis Coleman, Corky Baker and
Gennie Wallis. The court received
glasses which said “aged to perfection” and all ladies received roses.
Jordan said what began as an idea
to, at the very least, provide an activity for residents quickly grew into
more. She added, there was a “value
they’ve (the residents) put on it
(prom)” that translated into more.
She said the prom became the hot
topic of discussion in the building, as
did who was going, including sons
and grandsons of the residents who
were escorts for their prom dates
in some cases. In fact there were
several family members of residents
who participated in the tower’s prom
as well.
By the end of the night, those who
never got to go to a prom ﬁnally
had the opportunity and those who
already went, got the chance to create a new memory.

Joe Gibbs Racing to replace Matt Kenseth
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — Joe Gibbs Racing
is replacing NASCAR’s
oldest full-time driver
with one of the youngest
as the series undergoes
a rapid changing of the
guard.
Erik Jones will drive
the No. 20 Toyota for
Gibbs next season. That
has been Matt Kenseth’s
seat since 2013, and he
has won a lot of races for
the organization.
But Kenseth is 45, and
Jones is 21. Plus, Jones
is on a one-year loaner
contract to Gibbs’ sister
team Furniture Row Racing, and Gibbs had to
put Jones somewhere in
2018.
“This is a really exciting time in my career for
me to make the move
back to Joe Gibbs Racing full time in the Cup
Series,” Jones said.
Kenseth, in a contract
year, gets the boot.
This is not a surprise
in NASCAR, which has
seen a quick shift in
the last year toward the
20-something phenom
at the expense of the
middle-aged journeyman.
Kenseth is the biggest
name hit so far as the

SERVICE / BUSINESS
DIRECTORY

next.”
But there’s simply no
room for Kenseth anymore, a stalwart in the
series and a star for Toyota, which partnered with
Kenseth when he joined
Gibbs in 2013. He is 11th
in the standings and in
his 18th Cup season. He
said last weekend there
was no opportunity for
him to return to Gibbs .
Jones is a Gibbs development driver, a product
of a Gibbs and Toyota
system that has stockpiled young talent. It’s
use-them-or-lose-them
time for Gibbs, which
caught a break this year
when Carl Edwards unexpectedly retired. Suarez
got fast-tracked to the
Cup Series, and Jones
was moved to Furniture
Row to await an opening
at Gibbs.
Team owner Gibbs bid
adieu to Kenseth in a
team release.
“Matt has been a tremendous asset to our
organization over the past
ﬁve seasons both on and
off the track,” Gibbs said.
“He’s been a great teammate and a great ambassador for our sponsors.
We have a great deal of

respect for him and we
are working hard to get
the 20 team into the playoffs to make a run for the
championship. We have a
great deal of conﬁdence
in his abilities to do just
that.”
Kenseth is the 2003
Cup champion, a twotime Daytona 500 winner and has 38 career
victories. After he joined
Gibbs four years ago, led
the Cup Series with seven
victories and ﬁnished second in points that year.
He is admittedly looking
for a ride next season.
Jones, who turned 21
in May, was discovered
by Busch in 2012 when
Jones upset Busch to
win the Snowball Derby
in Pensacola, Florida.
Jones at the time became
the youngest winner in
the Truck Series when
he won in 2013 at 17
years, ﬁve months and
eight days. He won the
series title two years later
— the youngest series
champ at 19 — and made
his ﬁrst Cup appearance
that season in relief of
Denny Hamlin at Bristol.
He later drove a Cup race
for Busch and two races
for Kenseth.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles
Lakers have signed free agent guard Kentavious
Caldwell-Pope to a one-year, $18 million contract,
a person with knowledge of the deal told The
Associated Press.
Caldwell-Pope was among the top talents
remaining on the free agent market after spending
his ﬁrst four NBA seasons with the Detroit Pistons. The former eighth overall pick from Georgia
averaged 13.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists
last season while starting 75 games.
After hitting a career-best 35 percent of his
3-pointers last season, the 6-foot-5 Pope could play
a major role next year for the Lakers alongside
point guard Lonzo Ball, the second overall pick.
Los Angeles traded D’Angelo Russell to Brooklyn
last month, and Nick Young signed with Golden
State.
Caldwell-Pope also is a strong two-way player
who is expected to improve the Lakers’ defensive
competence. Los Angeles became a solid offensive team last season under ﬁrst-year coach Luke
Walton, but only two teams allowed more than the
Lakers’ 111.5 points per game.
Detroit renounced its rights to Caldwell-Pope
last week after acquiring Avery Bradley in a trade
with Boston. Caldwell-Pope has been a starter
since his rookie season with the Pistons, but they
elected not to award him a lucrative long-term
deal to stay.
By agreeing to a one-year deal with the rebuilding Lakers, Caldwell-Pope will be able to hit the
market as an unrestricted free agent in 2018 when
a longer-term deal could be available from the Lakers or another club.

deep Gibbs development
system has given the
organization too many
drivers to employ.
“I hate the position that
Matt is in but obviously
that didn’t just happen
overnight,” 2014 champion Kevin Harvick said
earlier Tuesday. “I believe
Matt is probably the most
sane leader of that particular team.”
Kenseth is the veteran
at Gibbs, which has 2015
champion Kyle Busch,
Daytona 500 winner
Denny Hamlin and reigning Xﬁnity Series champion Daniel Suarez.
“Matt is the guy that
is kind of the glue that
holds the direction. That’s
what a lot of people don’t
understand,” said Harvick, who drives for Stewart-Haas Racing. “Where
do you push that direction from a competition
standpoint? Is this really
what we need to do? This
guy’s complaining about
this, this guy’s complaining about that. You need
the voice of reason from
a driver’s standpoint that
says there has to be somebody that helps guide
you in that direction of
what you need to work on
