A losing bidder on the Romig Road street project has dropped a lawsuit against Akron and a second company has so far kept its complaint out of the courts.

Kenmore Construction, which submitted the lowest bid to resurface Romig Road in concrete or asphalt, dropped its lawsuit Monday after alleging less than two weeks ago that the city committed an “abuse of discretion” by disregarding asphalt bids. More than $3 million separates Kenmore Construction’s $9.7 million asphalt bid and the winning $12.9 million concrete bid submitted by the Ruhlin Co. of Medina.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration said Wednesday that it is ending medical research by government scientists that uses human fetal tissue, overriding the advice of scientists who say it has led to lifesaving medical advances and handing abortion opponents a major victory.

The Health and Human Services Department said in a statement that government-funded research by universities that involves

That school — University of California, San Francisco — called the decision “politically motivated.”

Administration officials said the federal policy changes will not affect privately funded research.

Ending the use of fetal tissue by the National Institutes of Health has been a priority for anti-abortion activists, a core element of See TRUMP, A3

Firefighters rescue dog alone in burning house

Firefighters rescued a dog from a house fire.

Crews responded shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday to a two-story house at 1327 19th St. NW, according to Chief Thomas Garra.

Smoke was coming from two sides of the first floor.

Firefighters found a dog in a first-floor bedroom and determined the occupant was not home at the time of the fire. Garra said the dog was resuscitated, and video shows the responding firefighters/ paramedics administering a breathing mask and water.

A pan on the stove and the surrounding wall were burning when crews arrived. The Canton Fire Department determined the fire began on the stove and was accidental.

The utilities were disconnected, and the house was boarded up. The American Red Cross also was called to assist the resident.

The department estimated fire damage to the structure at $10,000 and damage to the contents at $5,000.

Troubled nursing homes to be listed Government to start posting names of 400 poorperforming facilities

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press

WASHINGTON: In a turnabout, the government said Wednesday it will start posting a list of some 400 troubled nursing homes, days after senators released the "secret" document along with a report questioning oversight of poor-quality facilities.

Dr. Kate Goodrich, chief medical officer with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the agency soon will post the list and update it regularly. She didn't set a date. Locally, the Fairlawn Rehab and Nursing Center was among the poor-performing nursing homes.

"We are working actively to get the list posted," Goodrich told reporters, saying that attention focused on the issue "has amplified a very important national dialogue on nursing home quality."

The Associated Press reported Monday that Sens. Bob Casey, D-Pa., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., had found that conditions at the 400 facilities were

TRUMP From Page A1

President Donald Trump’s political base. A senior administration official said it was the president’s call. The official wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity.

But research using fetal tissue has led to lifesaving advances, including development of vaccines for rubella and rabies and drugs to treat HIV. Scientists around the country denounced the decision, saying that fetal tissue was critically needed for research on HIV vaccines, treatments that harness the body’s immune system to battle cancer, and other health threats, including some to fetuses themselves.

“Prohibiting valuable research that uses fetal tissue that is otherwise going to be discarded doesn’t make any sense,” said Dr. Lawrence Goldstein, a regenerative medicine specialist at the University of California, San Diego. “It blocks important future research vital to the development of new therapies.”

The government’s own top medical scientist, NIH Director Francis Collins, said as recently as last December that he believes “there’s strong evidence that scientific benefits come from fetal tissue research,” and that fetal tissue, rather than any alternatives, would “continue to be the mainstay” for certain types of research for the foreseeable future.

“Today, fetal tissue is still making an impact, with clinical trials underway using cells from fetal tissue to treat conditions including Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and spinal cord injury,” said Doug Melton, co-director of Harvard’s Stem Cell Institute and president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research.

Last year, the administration announced a review of whether taxpayer dollars were being properly spent on fetal tissue research. As a result, NIH froze procurement of new tissue. On Wednesday, the administration also said it is not renewing an expiring contract with the University of California, San Francisco,

"indistinguishable" from those at about 80 poorperforming nursing homes that are publicly identified by the government and undergo an additional level of inspections.

In a statement, Casey welcomed the commitment to post the list, but said more work is needed to make sure the government's program to improve poor-performing nursing homes is running properly and has enough financing.

About 1.3 million Americans live in nursing homes, with more than 15,700 such facilities nationwide. The troubled nursing homes that Casey and Toomey identified are part of the government's Special Focus Facility program, representing about 3 percent of all homes.

Budget cuts appear to be contributing to the problem by reducing money available for focused inspections, according to documents and interviews.

Agency officials say they currently only have enough money for 88 slots in the special focus program. Those facilities are publicly identified.

Consumers can spot them on the government's Nursing Home Compare website by looking for an

icon that resembles a traffic "caution" sign.

But a larger group of some 400 nursing homes are designated as "candidates" for the program, and their names have not been publicly disclosed.

The agency says that's now about to change.

It pushed back against the suggestion it was keeping secrets, saying its nursing home website uses starred ratings that allow consumers to readily identify troubled facilities. Nursing homes with five stars have much better than average quality and nursing homes with a single star are considered to be much below average. Nationwide, there are about 2,900 of the latter.

Goodrich said starred ratings are the best way for consumers to get a sense of quality, but the senators' report concluded that the ratings can be misleading.

For example, nearly 3 in 10 of the 400 "candidate" nursing homes with problems had two stars out of five overall.

The government spends about $400 million a year on all Medicare-related inspections, and Goodrich said most of that goes for nursing home checks. The Trump administration has asked Congress for nearly $45 million more.

that used fetal tissue to create a human-like immune system in mice for HIV research.

University Chancellor Sam Hawgood said in a statement that the Trump administration action ended a 30-year partnership with NIH. “UCSF exercised appropriate oversight and complied with all state and federal laws,” said Hawgood. “We believe this decision to be politically motivated, shortsighted and not based on sound science.”

HHS says it is trying to balance “pro-life” and “pro-science” imperatives.

Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, said in a statement that the Trump administration has “once again done the right thing in restoring a culture of life to our government.”

The Susan B. Anthony List, a group that works to elect lawmakers opposed to abortion, said in a statement that taxpayer funding ought to go to promoting alternatives to using fetal tissue in medical research. The NIH is funding a $20 million program to “develop, demonstrate, and validate experimental models that do not rely on human fetal tissue from elective abortions.”

That idea got strong support from a Republican senator who oversees NIH funding.

“Today’s action is a significant pro-life victory,” Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri said in a statement. NIH “has directed funding toward the development of alternative research methods that do not rely on human fetal tissue from elective abortions and I remain supportive of that effort.”

But the scientific consensus is there is no adequate substitute for fetal tissues in some research areas.

For example, to learn how the mosquito-borne Zika virus moves from a pregnant woman’s bloodstream into her fetus and attacks the developing brain — and how to prevent that — requires studying fetal brain cells, neuroscientist Sally Temple of the Neural Stem Cell Institute in New York wrote in the journal Science this year.

“Despite the president’s pledge to ‘end the HIV epidemic,’ today’s announcement poses a direct threat to

crucial research to find treatments for HIV and other health threats,” Megan Donovan of the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.

“Ideologues should not be allowed to stand in for real doctors and scientists when the government is making decisions about lifesaving medicine.”

The government has funded research using fetal tissue for decades, under administrations of both political parties.

Officials said there are currently at least three active federal research projects that involve human fetal tissue, and possibly as many as 12. Among university research projects funded by the government, officials said, fewer than 200 of 50,000 rely on human fetal tissue.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research questioned whether the new scrutiny that university projects will face will follow long-accepted ethical guidelines or instead block the research for ideological reasons.

Aside from the canceled UCSF contract, no university-led programs will be affected for the time being, the administration said.

New projects that propose to use fetal tissue and current projects up for renewal will be subject to additional reviews.

Lockhart Concrete Co. of Akron submitted a $12.4 million concrete bid but failed to attach a construction schedule detailing a timeline for completing the work, which paves the way for long-awaited economic development in Kenmore.

The stretch of Romig Road from I-76 to Vernon Odom Boulevard crosses the old Rolling Acres Mall property, which is being redeveloped into a shipping center for 1,000 new jobs. Blueprints for the $100 million investment point to Amazon.

Concrete lasts longer but costs the city more upfront. And the city says asphalt can’t be laid in low temperatures during the winter, although Kenmore Construction said it could be done on time. The concrete on Romig Road has lasted 45 years. Most

seams between the slabs of rock and cement are now patched with asphalt.

At the former Rolling Acres Mall site, everything owned by the developer has been torn down. All that remains is Pinnacle Recycling to the immediate north. The company continues to operate in the old Sears, which closed three years after the mall folded in 2008.

Kenmore and its attorney did not return phone calls seeking comment this week about why the asphalt company had dropped its lawsuit on Monday. The company has several current contracts with the city, including the rebuilding of Main Street downtown.

In a protest letter sent last week to Akron Public Service Director John Moore, Lockhart Concrete objected to losing the contract and admitted it had “inadvertently omitted” the construction schedule in its bid package. Timing is critical as Amazon

must start building its 695,383-square-foot facility soon to hit deadlines tied to local property tax breaks.

Attorney Aaron Ridenbaugh, who drafted Lockhart’s protest letter, said Tuesday that he would be consulting with his client about possible next steps. “If we’re going to do something, it will happen shortly,” Ridenbaugh said.

In a second letter sent Tuesday to Council President Margo Sommerville, the company again asserted that the city gave the false impression that all the necessary paperwork, including the construction schedule, had been received because a city engineer asked Lockhart to be prepared to review the entire bid package. The “simple oversight,” company secretary Sheena Lockhart wrote, “surely cannot constitute spending almost $500,000 more.”

Heroism ‘will never be forgotten’ ‘Thank you’: Queen honors D-Day veterans at moving ceremony

By Danica Kirka and Jill Lawless The Associated Press

PORTSMOUTH, England — Queen Elizabeth II and world leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump gathered Wednesday on the south coast of England to honor the troops who risked and sacrificed their lives 75 years ago on D-Day, a bloody but ultimately triumphant turning point in World War II. Across the Channel, American and British paratroopers dropped into northwestern France and scaled cliffs beside Normandy beaches, recreating the daring, costly invasion that helped liberate Europe from Nazi occupation.

With the number of veterans of World War II dwindling, the guests of honor at an international ceremony in Portsmouth were several hundred men, now in their 90s, who served in the conflict — and the 93-year-old British monarch, also a member of what has been called the “greatest generation.”

The queen, who served as an army mechanic during the war, said that when she attended a 60th-anniversary commemoration of D-Day 15 years ago, many thought it might be the last such event.

“But the wartime generation — my generation — is resilient,” she said, striking an unusually personal note.

“The heroism, courage and sacrifice of those who lost their lives will never be forgotten,” the monarch said. “It is with humility and pleasure, on behalf of the entire country — indeed the whole free world — that I say to you all, thank you.”

Several hundred World War II veterans, aged 91 to 101, attended the ceremony in Portsmouth, the English port city from where many of the troops embarked for Normandy on June 5, 1944.

Many will recreate their

journey, with less danger and more comfort, by crossing the Channel by ship to Normandy overnight. They are due to attend commemorations Thursday in Bayeux, the first major town liberated by Allied troops after D-Day. Mixing history lesson, entertainment and solemn remembrance, the ceremony in Portsmouth was a large-scale spectacle involving troops, dancers and martial bands, culminating in a military fly-past. But the stars of the show were the elderly veterans of that campaign who said they were surprised by all the attention: They were just doing their jobs.

“I was just a small part in a very big machine,” said 99-year-old John Jenkins, a veteran from Portsmouth, who received a standing ovation as he addressed the event.

“You never forget your comrades because we were all in it together,” he said. “It is right that the courage and sacrifice of so many is being honored 75 years on. We must never forget.”

The event, which kicked off two days of D-Day anniversary observances, paid tribute to the troops who

shaped history during the dangerous mission to reach beachheads and fight in German-occupied France.

D-Day saw more than 150,000 Allied troops land on the beaches of Normandy in northwest France on June 6, 1944, carried by 7,000 boats.

The Battle of Normandy, codenamed Operation Overlord, was a turning point in the war, and helped bring about Nazi Germany’s defeat in May 1945.

Wednesday’s ceremony brought together presidents, prime ministers and other representatives of more than a dozen countries that fought alongside Britain in Normandy.

The leader of the country that was the enemy in 1944 , German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also attended— a symbol of Europe’s postwar reconciliation and transformation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who attended 70th anniversary commemorations in France five years ago, has not been invited.

Russia was not involved in D-Day but was instrumental in defeating the Nazis on the Eastern Front.

The ceremony sought

to take people back in time, with world leaders, reading the words of participants in the conflict.

Trump read a prayer that President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered in a radio address on June 6, 1944, extolling the “mighty endeavor” Allied troops were engaged in.

British Prime Minister Theresa May read a letter written by Capt. Norman Skinner of the Royal Army Service Corps to his wife, Gladys, on June 3, 1944, a few days before the invasion. He was killed the day after D-Day. “Although I would give anything to be back with you, I have not yet had any wish at all to back down from the job we have to do,” he wrote.

French President Emmanuel Macron read from a letter sent by a young resistance fighter, Henri Fertet, before he

was executed at the age of 16 years old.

“I am going to die for my country. I want France to be free and the French to be happy,” it said.

The ceremony ended with singer Sheridan Smith performing the wartime hit “We’ll Meet Again,” as many of the elderly assembled veterans sang along.

Then WWII Spitfire and Hurricane fighter jets, modern-day Typhoons and the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows aerobatic unit swooped over the dignitaries, veterans and large crowd of spectators.

The crowd beyond the security barriers loved the planes but loved the veterans even more.

Whenever their images came up on the big screen, people cheered. The former servicemen have reacted to such shows

of attention with humility and surprise, as many believed they had been forgotten.

“What happened to me is not important. I’m not a hero. I served with men who were,” said Les Hammond, 94, who landed at Juno Beach with the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers.

“I’m very lucky I’m a survivor.”

On Thursday the focus shifts to France, where commemorations will be held at simple military cemeteries near the Normandy beaches.

Events in France began early Wednesday morning with U.S. Army Rangers climbing the jagged limestone cliffs of Normandy’s Pointe du Hoc to honor the men who scaled them under fire 75 years ago.

They were recreating a journey taken in 1944 by the U.S. Army’s 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalions to destroy Nazi guns atop the cliffs, helping prepare the way for Allied troops to land on the coast.

Elsewhere in Normandy parachutists jumped from C-47 transporters in WWII colors and other aircraft, aiming for fields of wild flowers on the outskirts of Carentan, one of the early objectives for Allied troops.

Among the jumpers was American D-Day veteran Tom Rice, 97. He jumped into Normandy with thousands of other parachutists in 1944 and recalled it as “the worst jump I ever had.”

Like many other veterans , Rice said he remains troubled by the war.

“We did a lot of destruction, damage. And we chased the Germans out and coming back here is a matter of closure,” he said. “You can close the issue now.”

English Channel to Utah Beach, the westernmost landing beach for the invasion.

“But you’re never prepared for something like that. So what you had to do was do your best to keep your head down,” Miller said.

“When you hit the beach, there was no place to go [and hide],” he said.

“You had to get off … and you’re falling down” in the sand.

He recalled at one point having to wait behind some kind of barricade to get through a passageway that the Allies, with their bombing, had created in the sea wall or dunes.

Miller began returning to Normandy about 10 years ago. On two of the trips, Miller, a former longtime scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 380 in Fairlawn, went with a group of former scouts — adult men — who had earned Eagle Scout rank.

The trips, he said, are about reliving and sharing his memories and honoring those who fought.

Earlier this week, Miller went to the Normandy American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach with family members, including his son Tim Miller.

Tim Miller, in an email about the cemetery visit, wrote that his father “was very contemplative,” remarking that each cross and Star of David represents someone who never had the kind of blessings he has had in his life.

Tim Miller wrote that his father said, “It’s important for me and all Americans to remember the amazing cost that has paid for our freedoms.”

Allied casualties on D-Day were at least 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead. Among troops landing on Utah

Beach, there were relatively few American casualties — less than 200 dead and wounded.

That compares with Omaha Beach, the bloodiest of the five landing beaches, where the U.S. troops suffered 2,400 casualties.

Bill Miller didn’t talk much about his war experiences until the past 10 years or so, Tim Miller and his wife, Deborah, said last week before leaving for France.

Tim Miller said that even after the movie “Saving Private Ryan” came out in

Mexican oicials try to stave of tarifs Diplomats meet at White House amid Trump’s threats over immigration

By Jill Colvin, Matthew Lee and Luis Alonso Lugo The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mexican and U.S. officials met late into the day Tuesday at the White House trying to stave off President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs on all Mexican goods flowing into the United States.

The first tariffs — 5% taxes on imports from Mexico — are to go into effect next Monday, and Trump has said that is “more likely” than not to occur despite stiff and vocal opposition from many fellow Republicans in Congress.

However, there were also hopeful comments earlier Wednesday, including from White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, who said on

[ANDREW HARNIK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]

CNN that there were commitments Mexico could make to avoid the tariffs, which he said “may not have to go into effect precisely because we have the Mexicans’ attention.”

The tariffs carry enormous

economic consequences for both countries, and politically they underscore a major ideological split between Trump and his party. Trump has increasingly relied on the import taxes as a bludgeon to try to force other nations

to bend to his will, dismissing warnings, including from Republicans, about the likely impacts on American manufacturers and consumers.

Trump’s goal in this case is to persuade Mexican leaders to do more to keep would-be migrants from other Central American countries from traveling across Mexico to the American border.

The U.S. Border Patrol’s apprehensions of migrants at the border hit the highest level in more than a decade in May: 132,887 apprehensions, including a record 84,542 adults and children together, 36,838 single adults and 11,507 children traveling alone.

Most are from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, countries wracked by gangs, violence and poverty. Many of the travelers are expected to eventually request asylum.

At one point Wednesday, White House officials

downplayed expectations for the day’s meeting. But Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, who was to meet with Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others, said Tuesday he thought tariffs could be avoided.

So did Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who said Wednesday the Mexicans had “a long list of things they’re going to offer to us, and it will preclude tariffs going into effect.”

Administration officials have said Mexico can prevent the tariffs by securing its southern border with Guatemala, cracking down on criminal smuggling organizations and entering into a “safe third country agreement” that would make it difficult for those who enter Mexico from other countries to claim asylum in the U.S.

White House cancels classes, soccer, legal aid for child migrants

By Maria Sacchetti The Washington Post

The Trump administration is canceling English classes, recreational programs, and legal aid for unaccompanied minors staying in federal migrant shelters nationwide, saying the immigration influx at the southern border has created critical budget pressures.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement has begun discontinuing the funding stream for activities — including soccer — that have been deemed “not directly necessary for the protection of life and safety, including education services, legal services, and recreation,” said U.S. Health and Human Services spokesman Mark Weber.

Federal officials have

warned Congress that they are facing “a dramatic spike” in unaccompanied minors at the southern border and have asked Congress for $2.9 billion in emergency funding to expand shelters and care.

The program could run out of money in late June, and the agency is legally obligated to direct funding to essential services, Weber said.

The move - revealed in an email an HHS official sent to licensed shelters last week, a message that has been obtained by The Washington Post - could run afoul of a federal court settlement and state licensing requirements that mandate education and recreation for minors in federal custody. Carlos Holguin, a lawyer who represents minors in a long-running lawsuit that

spurred a 1997 federal court settlement that sets basic standards of care for children in custody, immediately slammed the cuts as illegal.

“We’ll see them in court if they go through with it,” Holguin said. “What’s next?

Drinking water? Food? . . .

Where are they going to stop?”

More than 40,800 unaccompanied children have been placed into HHS custody after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border this year, a 57 percent increase from last year that is putting ORR on track to care for the largest number of minors in the program’s history. Federal law requires the Department of Homeland Security to move unaccompanied minors from austere border jails to more child-appropriate shelters, and they must do so swiftly.

An average of 12,500 children and youths were held in federal shelters nationwide in April, according to HHS. They stayed an average of 48 days until a case worker could place them with a sponsor, usually a relative. While they wait in the shelters, minors attend school, study math and English, and participate in extracurricular activities such as ping-pong, soccer or other sports.

Most of the minors are teenagers fleeing violence and poverty in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

An HHS official sent an email Thursday to shelters across the country notifying them that the government will not pay for education or recreational activities retroactive to May 22, including related personnel costs. The official

characterized those costs as “unallowable.”

Holguin said schooling and exercise are “fundamental to the care of youngsters.”

A shelter employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity to address the internal government directive, said the Trump administration’s cuts have alarmed workers, who fear the quality of care for the children will suffer.

The employee said the classes and sports activities are crucial to maintaining physical and mental health while the children are in custody.

“What are you going to do all day?” the shelter employee said. “If you’re not going to have any sort of organized recreation or physical activity, what are you going to do, just let them sit in their rooms?”

Senators launch bipartisan bid to block Saudi arms sales

By Susannah George The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Directly challenging President Donald Trump’s use of executive power, Democrats and Republicans in the Senate are banding together to introduce more than a dozen resolutions aimed at blocking the Trump administration’s sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia.

The maneuver amounts to a remarkable display of bipartisan pushback to Trump’s foreign policy and threatens to tangle the Senate in a series of floor votes this summer. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is leading the effort, but he has support from two of Trump’s allies in Congress: Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky.

Anger has been mounting in Congress over the Trump administration’s close ties to the Saudis, fueled by the high civilian casualties in the Saudi-led war in Yemen — a military campaign the U.S. is assisting — and the killing of U.S.-based columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents. Trump’s decision in May to sell the weapons, in a manner intended to bypass congressional review, further inflamed the tensions.

“While I understand that Saudi Arabia is a strategic ally, the behavior of Mohammed bin Salman cannot be ignored. Now is not the time to do business as usual with Saudi Arabia,” Graham said in a statement Wednesday.

U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that an operation like the killing of Khashoggi could not have happened without the knowledge of the powerful crown prince.

Adding to the outcry, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia revealed this week that the Trump administration continued to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia even after Khashoggi’s murder. Kaine said that information, which he received from the Department of Energy, added “to a disturbing pattern of behavior” by the administration.

of the 22 resolutions Wednesday creates a challenge for Senate leadership, as he is using a procedure that can force action on the Senate floor. Other supporters of the effort include Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a longtime critic of the war in Yemen, Republican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana, and Democratic Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Jack Reed of Rhode Island.

The Trump administration in May invoked an emergency provision in the Arms Export Control Act to push through $8 billion worth of arms sales to the Saudis, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the sales were necessary to counter “the malign influence of the government of Iran throughout the Middle East region.”

Some of the weapons could be delivered later this year, while other arms will not ship for another year or longer. The sale included precision guided munitions, other bombs and ammunition and aircraft maintenance support.

“We are in an unprecedented situation,” Menendez said, adding that the 22 resolutions had the potential to “close the Senate for some period of time” due to the debate time that would be allotted to each resolution.

Menendez said he is asking the administration to rescind the emergency declaration so the arms sales can be considered by Congress.

“The question before the Senate is do you want to be a separate co-equal branch of government, or do you want to give this and future administrations a carte blanche,” he said.

Congress has never before tried to block a sale pushed through by the White House with an emergency declaration and it’s unclear if the resolutions introduced Wednesday will be successful, according to a Senate aide. Senate leadership and the parliamentarian may ultimately need to rule on whether it can proceed. The aide was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

It also remains to be seen if the resolutions can gain enough support to overcome a likely presidential veto.

Lawmakers blocked about $2 billion in arms sales to the kingdom for more than a year, citing concerns over human rights. Separately, Congress passed legislation this year that would have ended U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen. Trump vetoed the measure.

Speaking from the Senate floor Wednesday, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York threw his support behind the resolutions to block the arms sales.

“Over the past year, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, despite some positive domestic reforms, has too often acted like a brute in the Middle East rather than a stabilizing force,” Schumer said. He said Congress should take a stand against Trump’s Saudi policy and push back against executive overreach.

“In America, we have a three-branch government, not a one-branch government. Maybe some of our Republican colleagues are recognizing that and beginning to act,” he said.

OPINION What Americans started on D-Day

No limitation on prosecuting rape

F

elonies in Ohio typically come with statutes of limitation extending six years. These laws are designed to protect the justice system against flawed outcomes driven by such factors as failing memories or degraded physical evidence. There has been one prominent exception — for murder, the crime so awful that capturing the killer serves the public interest whether it arrives in days, weeks, months, years or several decades.

Now Ohio has an opportunity to remove the current 20-year statute of limitation from the crime of rape, as more than half of the states have done. On Monday, Dave Yost, the state attorney general, and a handful of his predecessors joined in a letter calling for the change. This bipartisan backing should provide the impetus for state lawmakers to act.

The change is overdue. The proposal recently gained momentum when Gov. Mike DeWine called for removing the limitation in the wake of the investigation into the late Richard Strauss, an Ohio State physician who abused at least 177 students during his two decades at the university. Survivors taught another lesson in the reality of rape’s trauma. It can take many years before victims feel safe enough to come forward.

At a press conference to announce the letter from the attorneys general, Yost aptly framed their shared thinking with a question: “Is rape more like a homicide or more like a theft?” Clearly, it rates much closer to the former. As the letter states, “the profound invasion of a person makes rape like no other crime — a violation of the body, the mind and the soul.” It adds that the crime carries “a lifetime impact.”

The letter also takes up the concern that removing the statute of limitation risks unjust results. It points out, as Yost reiterated for reporters, that prosecutions for rape usually fail because the state falls short of its burden of proof. The extended time can heighten the burden. More, the standard doesn’t change. Prosecutors still face the task of proving their case beyond a reasonable doubt to gain a conviction.

Betty Montgomery, a former state attorney general, joined Yost, a fellow Republican, at the press conference. She strengthened the argument for removing the limitation by noting that rapists tend to be “serial criminals,” with even dozens of victims before they are caught. So it follows that the toll further defines the need to keep open investigations.

Nancy Rogers, another signer of the letter, represented at the press conference the Democrats who have served lately as state attorney general. She emphasized how circumstances have changed and thus make more persuasive the idea of ending the statute of limitation. Those changes start with the scientific advances, cold cases more likely to be solved through such tools as increasingly sophisticated DNA testing. That became evident with Mike DeWine, during his time as attorney general, conducting the testing of thousands of untested rape kits across the state.

Rogers also reinforced how public attitudes have changed, bringing a much greater understanding of what rape victims endure. Many victims fear reporting the crime, often out of undue yet persistent shame. So it can take a long time before telling anyone, let alone authorities.

A bill to eliminate the statute of limitation for rape gained just one hearing last year. State Reps. Tavia Galonski, an Akron Democrat, and Kristin Boggs, a Columbus Democrat, already had plans to revive the proposal in this legislative session. Now the cause has received a substantial boost. The governor, attorney general and five previous attorneys general — Democrats and Republicans — have called for removing the limitation. State lawmakers have the reason and support they need to make it happen.

WASHINGTON iven the pace of change in the world today, it boggles the mind to think that we still live in the shadow of an event 75 years in the past. But when the sun set over the English Channel on June 6, 1944, with tens of thousands of Allied troops firmly lodged on the Normandy coast of France, a new chapter of history began — one that is still being written, with an ending yet unknown.

D-Day was an economic triumph as well as a military one. The skies were filled with aircraft built in the United States. The seas were crowded with warships built in the United States. The moment the beaches were secured, they were covered with tanks, trucks, Jeeps and artillery pieces made in the United States. The industrial capacity of the United States — sheltered from attack by two oceans and by friendly neighbors — had simply overwhelmed the capacity of the Axis powers.

A single American factory, the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant, produced more tanks than the entire Third Reich.

The Willow Run Bomber Plant at peak capacity produced a B-24 Liberator every hour, around the clock.

Liberty shipyards built transport ships in as little as five days each. And so on.

In his memoirs, Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Dwight Eisenhower recalled his thoughts as he surveyed the wreckage of American armaments lost in the liberation of those beaches.

“There was no sight in the war that so impressed me with the industrial might of America as the wreckage on the landing beaches,” he wrote. “To any other nation the disaster would have been almost decisive. But so great was America’s productive capacity that the great storm occasioned little more than a ripple in the development of our build-up.”

World War II decimated Europe and much of Asia, while it supercharged American productivity. The result was unprecedented economic dominance by

a single nation. In 1945, the United States, home to roughly 7 percent of the world’s population, produced more than one-third of the global economy. By comparison, the British Empire at its economic peak accounted for less than one-tenth of global output.

This was not an inherently stable situation.

President Harry Truman and his advisers accurately perceived that a strong America allied with other strong economies would produce greater prosperity over the long run than a dominant America would enjoy in a world of economic pipsqueaks. With prosperity would come peace and stability.

Therefore, Truman concluded, the best use of America’s extraordinary advantage was to rebuild European and Asian economies as quickly as possible, even though that would mean shrinking the U.S. share of global output. The Marshall Plan, the World Bank and the framework of free trade all pointed in this direction. It is astonishing — yet true — that the vanquished powers, Germany and Japan, both grew to greater economic heights after their defeat than they had occupied at the peak of their imperialist expansions. This was a new, and altogether enlightened, view of the spoils of victory.

American leadership since D-Day has been a great vindication of the rising tide that lifts all boats. Today, the United States has a smaller slice (about onequarter) — but of a much, much, much larger pie. U.S. gross domestic product was about $250 billion per year at the end of World War

II; today, it is over $21 trillion. Adjusted for inflation, that’s a seven-fold increase.

And yet, for many Americans this economic miracle feels like a tale of decline. Only the aged remember D-Day. But most of us have some sense of America’s place in the post-D-Day world, when everything worth making (so it seemed) was Made in the USA. Nostalgia for that lost era has suffused our politics since the 1970s.

The growth of German steel and toolmakers, of Japanese and South Korean automobile- and electronicsmakers, of Chinese makers of low-cost goods have all been touted as evidence that the United States has lost its economic edge.

After 75 years, the gap between the muscular economic reality and America’s wan self-image is enormous.

The United States continues to be the world’s biggest economy by far larger than China and Japan (No. 2 and No. 3 on the list) combined. Deloitte has forecast that the United States will replace China at the top of the Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index by next year. Since 2003, the United States has added some $3 trillion more to its economy than the European Union has managed.

Yet, from the White House to the corner bar, we hear that America is losing ground. The idea of decline dominates policymaking and the president’s tweets. In truth, the United States has raised the world closer to its own heights, to the benefit of billions.

And it started on D-Day. Von Drehle is a Washington Post columnist.

Google and Facebook suck big money from newspapers

By Margaret Sullivan

WASHINGTON epublicans and Democrats in Congress seem to agree on almost nothing these days.

That’s why it’s startling to see bipartisan support for something you might think would be unpopular to politicians: the very local newspapers who hold elected officials accountable.

But it’s happening. And, given the gloomy state of the newspaper industry, it’s a rare break in the clouds.

“It does seem like we’re getting somewhere,” said David Chavern, president and CEO of the News Media Alliance, which represents 2,000 news publishers — mostly local newspapers, but also some national papers (including the Washington Post) and digital-only news sites.

The legislation in the House and Senate would provide a temporary “safe harbor” — a four-year antitrust exemption for news publishers as they negotiate with Google and Facebook

R

over how news content is used and how advertising dollars are distributed.

U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy, R-La., sees the two tech giants — the duopoly as they’re often called — as far too powerful in their damaging control of the news kingdom.

“They’ve pitted themselves against newspapers in a David-and-Goliath battle in which newspapers don’t have a stone to throw much less a slingshot to put it in,” Kennedy said in a statement.

“The readers are the true losers as newsrooms empty out across this country,” he said.

Almost all American newspapers are in trouble.

Once print advertising, their lifeblood, fell precipitously more than a decade ago, they’ve struggled to stay profitable enough to survive. Only a handful have managed to increase digital subscriptions enough to make a real difference.

And, sadly, many newspapers already have folded.

The United States has lost

1,800 newspapers (mostly weeklies) since 2004, according to a University of North Carolina study of “news deserts” — areas in the United States that have no regular news coverage.

Many of those remaining — about 7,000 — are threatened, or hollowed out after round after round of costcutting layoffs. Newsrooms lost nearly half their staffs between 2008 and 2017, a Pew Research study said.

“They’re going to disappear,” said famed investor Warren Buffett, discussing what he sees as the fate of most local newspapers in a recent interview with Yahoo News. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns dozens of daily and weekly papers.

The newspaper business over the past several decades, Buffett said, “went from monopoly to franchise to competitive to … toast.”

When print advertising began to tank, years ago, newspaper publishers hoped that digital advertising would make up the difference.

That hasn’t happened.

While Google and Facebook gave media organizations new, and popular, ways to distribute their journalism, they also sucked up much of the advertising revenue.

Meanwhile, the tech platforms benefited because they drew lucrative audiences for “content” — the journalism produced by local reporters who, as a rule, are hardworking and not well-paid.

It’s encouraging to see the newspaper publishers better organized and more aggressive than in the past. They even managed last year to help get the Trump administration’s new tariffs on Canadian newsprint (used for U.S. newspapers) overturned.

It’s even more encouraging to see senators and representatives understand the value that local newspapers bring to their constituents.

Facebook and Google, meanwhile, are mostly staying quiet about this, but tech-industry advocates want to portray this collective bargaining as collusion, Roll Call reported this week.

And when businesses collude, they say, consumers suffer.

That is undoubtedly true in most situations. Antitrust laws exist for good reasons.

But a temporary waiver — while newspapers try to right themselves at a critical time — is more than a good idea. It’s essential.

When local newspapers fail, all kinds of bad things happen. Various studies have shown that civic engagement falls off, government spending goes up, and unreliable or made-up stories get a stronger foothold. We lose our village squares, our ways of making sense of the world with shared facts, and our ability to hold public officials to account.

Before more of the remaining papers turn into “toast,” they need some serious, immediate help.

As for Google and Facebook, if fewer ad dollars go their way in the service of local journalism’s survival, I’m confident they will manage somehow.

Experts question deputy’s arrest over Parkland tragedy

By Curt Anderson The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The arrest of a Florida sheriff’s deputy for not confronting the gunman in the Parkland school massacre represents a highly unusual use of the law — and a legally dubious one, in the opinion of some experts.

Scot Peterson, 56, appeared in court Wednesday on 11 charges, including negligence and child neglect for not entering the building during the rampage last year at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 people dead.

In court papers, prosecutors said five people were killed and four others wounded after Peterson took up his position, gun drawn, but did not go inside. Nikolas Cruz, 20, faces the death penalty if convicted in the Valentine’s Day bloodshed.

President Donald Trump and others have branded Peterson a coward. But can Broward County prosecutors prove his hesitation to act amounts to a crime?

Legal experts are not so sure and suggested prosecutors may have overreached.

“This is a unique prosecution, pushing the bounds of criminal liability,” said David O. Markus, a prominent Miami defense attorney not involved in the case. “While elected prosecutors many times bow to the court of public opinion, our justice system demands that a case like this be tested in a court of law. Legally, this is a tough one for the prosecution.”

Michael Grieco, a defense attorney and state legislator from Miami Beach who is also not involved in the case, agreed that prosecutors face an

uphill climb.

“Although as a father, legislator and human being, I believe that there is no societal defense to cowardice, the law has consistently and recently held that there is no constitutional duty for police to protect us from harm,” Grieco said. “The decision to criminally charge Mr. Peterson, although popular in the court of public opinion, will likely not hold water once formally challenged.”

Instances in which law enforcement officers are accused of mishandling a situation are often dealt with not with criminal charges but with lawsuits seeking damages. Several have already been filed against Peterson.

The negligence charge brought by prosecutors accuses Peterson of “reckless indifference” or “careless disregard” for others. Child neglect involves a failure to protect someone under 18 from “abuse, neglect or exploitation.”

Peterson’s lawyer, Joseph DiRuzzo, said the charges should be dismissed because Peterson

did not legally have a duty to care for the students, as would be the case for someone dealing directly with children, such as a nurse or day care staffer.

“Mr. Peterson cannot reasonably be prosecuted because he was not a ‘caregiver,’ which is defined as a parent, adult household member or other person responsible for a child’s welfare,” DiRuzzo said.

“Mr. Peterson was not criminally negligent in his actions, as no police officer has ever been prosecuted for his or her actions in responding to an active shooter incident.”

DiRuzzo also pointed out that the Broward County Sheriff’s Office policy at the time stated that deputies “may enter the area” to deal with an active shooter — they were not required to do so.

Investigators, prosecutors and victims’ family members tell a different story. Prosecutors noted in court papers that Peterson was trained to confront an armed assailant and, as the school’s resource officer, was the only armed person on campus who could have limited or stopped the carnage in a timely way.

“He could have and would have saved lives.

So he has to deal with that for the rest of his life,” said Lori Alhadeff, whose 14-year-old daughter Alyssa was killed.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen, whose agency conducted a 14-month investigation into Peterson’s conduct that included interviews with 184 witnesses and a review of many hours of surveillance video, said: “There can be no excuse for his complete inaction and no question that his inaction cost lives.”

Cop cleared in double shooting Summit prosecutor says Akron oicer was justiied in wounding of two men outside nightclub Stephanie Warsmith Beacon Journal/Ohio.com

An Akron officer who shot two brothers in 2017 outside a downtown nightclub was justified in the shooting, Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh has ruled.

Two other officers heard Officer John Turnure yell “gun” or “drop the gun” several times before firing at

Odd gift is a mystery

Latrent Redrick, Walsh said.

“This was a tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving situation set in motion by the reckless and dangerous actions of Mr. Redrick who pulled out a gun and pointed it at civilians on a crowded street,” Walsh wrote in an 11-page report. “Officer Turnure took prudent and reasonable actions, including using deadly force, in order to protect innocent civilians and his fellow officers.”

Sarah Gelsomino, one of the Cleveland attorneys representing Redrick and his brother Jamon Pruiett

in a still-pending federal lawsuit, said she was disappointed but not surprised by Walsh’s report. She said four witnesses, including one officer, didn’t hear Turnure give any warnings before firing his weapon at Redrick from behind.

“It’s really disappointing to see a prosecutor’s office disregard a body of evidence,” Gelsomino said.

The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. Oct. 1, 2017, outside the now-closed ZAR Nightclub at 349 S. Main St. where a fight broke out and people started running.

The brothers, both from the Cleveland area, and police disagree on what happened next.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Akron last October, claims Redrick, who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, Pruiett and their friends were being threatened by a group of men and Redrick showed them his gun. The suit claims Turnure fired at Redrick without ordering him to drop his weapon or that he planned to shoot. Pruiett also dropped to the ground and reached for Redrick’s gun in an attempt

to defend himself and fired a shot, with Turnure then shooting Pruiett, the suit claims.

The brothers each were shot at least six times.

The suit claims Redrick asked for help from Turnure but the officer replied “F*** you.”

Walsh’s report paints a very different portrait of the shooting. For her investigation, she examined security video footage and crime scene photographs, talked to officers and witnesses, read See SHOOTING, B3

uring my 34 years at the Beacon Journal, I have received more than my share of weird mail. But a piece of snail mail that showed up last week has to be in the Top 10.

It arrived addressed to “Mr. Lyn Smith, Mechanic, c/o Bob Dyer.” There was no return address, nor was there any indication inside who sent it.

The envelope contained two items: a plastic card and a brief note. The note asked me to pass the card along to Smith. The card: a $500 gift certificate to Giant Eagle.

What triggered this flash of generosity was, and remains, a complete mystery.

The column wasn't the least bit heartrending. It was essentially a rant about the growing tendency of engineers to overdesign products to the detriment of functionality.

And Smith is a nationally recognized See DYER, B3

here were more than birds and planes outside the windows of Akron Children’s Hospital on Wednesday morning.

A crew of superheroes took over the duties from Akron Children’s regular window washers from American National Skyline Inc., rappelling down the six-story front windows of the hospital building while patients watched from their unit hallways and lobby.

The superheroes also greeted children in the lobby, made visits to patient rooms and delivered gift bags.

The superheroes included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America, Batgirl, Supergirl, Catwoman and Princess Leia.

DOCTOR From Page B1

room. Two hours later, the 43-year-old wore the earth tones of a jail inmate as a Franklin County Common Pleas Court magistrate read his 25-count indictment on murder charges and set bond at $1 million.

If convicted, the former intensive-care doctor for the Mount Carmel Health System faces 15 years to life for each of the 25 counts of murder against him in what is one of the largest murder cases in the state’s history.

“It is certainly the biggest and most complex cases I have ever been involved with,” Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said.

When asked by the Dispatch if he knows why Husel ordered the lethal doses of medication, O’Brien said, “No, I do not know.”

A former Cleveland Clinic doctor, Husel is charged in the deaths of Emma Bogan, 75; Jan Marlene Thomas, 65; Norma J. Welch, 85; Joanne S. Bellisari, 69; Ryan Hayes, 39; Timothy Fitzpatrick, 55; Beverlee Ann Schirtzinger, 63; Michael Walters, 57; Robert P. Lee, (the one patient who died at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s hospital); Thomas Mathews; Danny Mollette; Larry Brigner, 70; Janet Kavanaugh, 79; Brandy McDonald, 37; Francis Burke; Charles Longstreth; Jeremia Hodge, 57; James Allen, 80; Troy Allison, 44; Corrinnia Blake, 55; Bonnie Austin, 64; James Nickolas Timmons, 39; Sandra Castle; Rebecca Walls, 75; and Melissa Penix, 82.

Mount Carmel Health System officials have said Husel ordered excessive doses of painkillers for 35 patients over a four-year period, though they said they do not believe six of those patients died because of the drugs. All but one of those patients were at the former Mount Carmel West hospital; one died at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s hospital in Westerville.

Some patients received 1,000 micrograms and two patients received 2,000 micrograms, according to wrongful-death lawsuits filed in Franklin County Common Pleas Court and details in Ohio Department of Health inspection reports.

“This breach of a doctor’s oath is vile,” Columbus Acting Police Chief Thomas Quinlan said. “It is our sincere hope that the families of these victims will find solace by the state of Ohio holding Dr. Husel accountable for his devious conduct.”

Authorities said all 25 victims in the criminal cases were given at least 500 micrograms of the opioid fentanyl, a level which O’Brien said was medically unnecessary.

“At the 500 microgram level there would be no legitimate medical purpose,” O’Brien said. “The only purpose would

Smith and I wondered whether the card was legit or someone was goofing on us.

“I’m suspicious,” he wrote in returning my email about it. “I’ve never won anything but a plastic apron when I was 6. I was too embarrassed to go up on stage and get it.”

Although that story cried out for at a follow-up question or two, I decided all of us might be better off not knowing.

Anyway ... once I handed over the card, Smith took it to a Giant Eagle and discovered it was the real deal. Someone bought it at a store in Brook Park on — get this — Jan. 20, 2016.

Being the cool guy that he is, Smith elected to pass his unexpected bonanza along to people who need it more.

be to hasten their deaths.”

Husel’s attorney Richard Blake, of Cleveland, said his client shouldn’t have been charged with any crimes and he has been cooperating with law enforcement.

Asked why Husel, who lives in Liberty Township near Dublin, would have prescribed such large doses of the painkiller, Blake said: “I can’t speak about that.”

He said Husel was providing “comfort care” to end-of-life patients.

“I can assure you there was never an attempt to euthanize anyone by Dr. Husel,” Blake said. “He wants to clear his name at trial.”

Blake also disagreed with the bond set for Husel because he said the doctor was not a flight risk and was not a threat to the community because he was already stripped of his ability to practice medicine when his medical license was suspended.

Mount Carmel fired Husel Dec. 5 and alerted authorities. Hospital officials said they received the first complaint about Husel on Oct. 25.

There were two more reports of questionable care by Husel after Oct. 25, and three more patients died after the first complaint in October.

The health system initially said all of the patients who died were near death, but they later discovered that five patients might have lived if given proper treatment.

O’Brien said none of the 35 or so nurses, pharmacists and administrators placed on administrative leave as part of an internal investigation by

Mount Carmel will be criminally charged. His office treated them as witnesses.

State boards that oversee pharmacists, nurses and doctors are still investigating actions of other Mount Carmel employees.

O’Brien said he expects several employees put on paid leave by the hospital will face other repercussions that likely will include having their licenses suspended or revoked.

“Mount Carmel has made and will continue to implement meaningful changes throughout our system to ensure events like these never happen again,” said Ed Lamb, president and CEO of the Mount Carmel Health System. “There is nothing more important to Mount Carmel than the safety of our patients and their trust in us.”

Lamb said Wednesday that O’Brien has requested the hospital make no further comments about Husel’s actions or the investigation.

O’Brien said Mount Carmel and the state medical, nursing and pharmacy boards were all cooperative throughout the investigation that was led by Columbus police detectives Anne Pennington and William Gillette.

Husel will not face the death penalty because he wasn’t charged with aggravated murder, which would have alleged the doctor planned the killings.

He still faces 19 pending wrongful-death lawsuits filed by families of patients who died. At least eight lawsuits have been settled.

about when or if someone can come get a brick without getting in trouble.

“Go to Home Depot,buy a brick, write ‘garf*** memorial’ on it with a Sharpie, and start selling them on eBay. Bet you don’t get rich.”

Brick frenzy

From Akron resident Doug Meredith: “There are two road signs on North Main Street as you enter Akron from Cuyahoga Falls. Put together, the signs would appear to be a good slogan for Akron.

“Sign 1: Welcome to Akron.

“Sign 2: Road Closed Ahead.”

Controversy has been raging on the Facebook page of the Garfield High School Alumni. The old building is being torn down, and seemingly half the graduates are dying to get ahold of a souvenir brick.

The posts about how and when to get a brick run on for miles. My favorite was this one, from Russell McCune: “Class of ‘90, I don’t understand this ‘need’ for a freaking brick. What possible value can there be?

Didn’t you get a yearbook full of pictures? Or 4? It will just be one more useless thing for your kids to have to throw out when you die.

Sketchy address From Tim Roy of Springfield Township: “I see there is going to be new housing in Akron on the corner of North and Howard streets. The name of the new development tells certain people that they need not apply.

“NO HO housing makes it very clear. I wonder if the ACLU has looked at this.”

months to comb through medical records to try and determine what levels of fentanyl could be medically unnecessary, O’Brien said. They considered medical condition, weight and tolerance for opiates.

Investigators consulted with two primary medical experts, one from Ohio and one from out of state, but O’Brien declined to identify them.

Authorities found the appropriate dose to initially administer to patients to be 50 micrograms, O’Brien said.

In several instances, Husel would prescribe excessive doses of fentanyl shortly after telling family members their loved one was brain-dead, according to attorneys and families who have previously spoken to the Dispatch.

The health inspection reports indicated that many of the high doses of the painkiller were accessed through the use of emergency overrides that sidestepped warnings and the pre-approval from pharmacists that is normally required.

Husel used his authority, charm and medical pedigree as a former doctor at the Cleveland Clinic to deceive or convince nurses that his decisions were sound, some current and former hospital staff members have told the Dispatch.

Families of his patients said Wednesday that they still can’t comprehend why Husel practiced medicine this way.

But some of them said that the indictments confirm their grief.

“It gives some validity to show that what he was doing wasn’t right,” said Christopher Thomas, son of patient Jan Marlene Thomas. “There should’ve been measures in place a long time ago to prevent this from happening.”

His 65-year-old mom was found unresponsive at her Columbus home by her home health aides in 2015 and was sent to Mount Carmel West, where she died less than 24 hours later.

Jeremia Hodge, 57, known to most by her middle name Sue, was transported to Mount Carmel West with cardiopulmonary arrest on Easter Sunday, 2018. The Hilltop resident was dead before the end of the night.

Four of Hodge’s five sons spoke Wednesday. The struggle of losing their mother was in their voices.

“I’m happy this is finally going on,” Robert Hodge said.

“I hope that justice is served.”

Jeremiah Hodge, another of Sue’s children, wore a shirt with a picture of his mother and father on it with the words “Who will fill their shoes” around the picture.

“It’s an unanswerable question,” Jeremiah said of the words on his shirt. “No one can.”

After readers complained to me that the service was difficult to join, I contacted the Emergency Management Agency, which said it also had gotten complaints and would talk with its vendor and try to smooth things out.

A day later, Director Tommy Smoot wrote: “We now have a Summit County Emergency Alerts group for all Summit County residents to choose from in step #3. All residents will have this group selected as the default option, which should streamline the process.”

SHOOTING From Page B1

police reports and looked at firearm and DNA analyses.

Officer Utomhin Okoh and Detective Jon Morgan both said they heard Turnure shout, “Drop the gun!” or something close to this before firing his weapon. When Pruiett fired a shot, Okoh said Turnure thought he had been hit and Okoh dragged Turnure behind a vehicle, according to the report.

Turnure, an Akron officer for 10 years and a Marine veteran, said he yelled at Redrick to drop his weapon several times. He said he believed Redrick was going to shoot into the crowd and fired when he saw Redrick raise his gun.

He said Pruiett picked up the gun and pointed it at Turnure and Turnure then shot him, according to the report.

Walsh concluded that Turnure’s actions were “legally justified and appropriate in light of the circumstances and risk” posed by Redrick and Pruiett.

Walsh noted that Turnure was wearing a body-worn camera but didn’t activate it before the shooting.

“Surveillance video shows Latrent Redrick holding a gun and pursuing individuals on a crowded Akron street right before Officer Turnure used deadly force,”” Assistant Prosecutor Brian LoPrinzi, chief of the criminal division, said in an emailed statement.

“We determined Officer Turnure had a reasonable belief that he needed to use that level of force to protect himself or the public from serious physical harm, which is the standard provided by the U.S. and Ohio Supreme Courts. Neither court nor state law requires an officer to order a person to drop their weapon before using deadly force.”

After the shooting, Pruiett was charged with felonious assault on a peace officer and was acquitted by a jury.

Redrick was charged with two counts of inducing panic and was found guilty of a misdemeanor charge of inducing panic.

Turnure was placed on paid administrative leave with pay for two months after the shooting, returning to full duty Dec. 4, 2017. He is now assigned to the detective bureau, Akron Police Capt. David Laughlin said.

The department’s internal shooting review committee hasn’t yet completed its investigation. Part of that review will include what Turnure did and didn’t do with his body-worn camera.

Laughlin said the department’s body-worn camera procedure states “officer and citizen safety should always be given priority over activating” a camera. It further states that officers shall activate their cameras “at the first available opportunity after the immediate threat has been addressed.”

Gelsomino said the debate over the shooting will continue in the federal lawsuit, which is pending in U.S. District Court Judge John Adams’ courtroom. The parties are currently exchanging discovery.

“The criminal jury saw the truth of what happened here,” she said. “We certainly are pursuing a finding that the shooting was not justified.”

Slaying suspect remains at large Police continue search for Akron man wanted in fatal shooting

By Alan Ashworth Beacon Journal/Ohio.com

Police continued the search Wednesday for a 24-year-old Akron man suspected of fatally gunning down a man in broad daylight Monday in the Summit Lake neighborhood.

An eight-hour standoff Tuesday night on Allenford Street that police hoped would end with the capture of suspect Eugene Calvin Wells Jr. concluded with tear gas and a SWAT raid, but no Wells.

Dozens of spectators along Manchester Road waited for hours in the hope that Wells would be captured. Walter J. Matthews, 23, the man who was killed Monday, was popular in the neighborhood and was praised by several in the crowd who knew him.

Police spokesman Lt. David Laughlin said Wednesday that the conclusion of Tuesday’s standoff was disappointing.

“Obviously, when you have someone who is wanted for murder, you exhaust all possibilities,” Laughlin said.

Police accuse Wells of fatally shooting Matthews on Monday near the intersection of Princeton and West South streets. Officers responded to the shooting about 3:30 p.m. and found Matthews lying in the middle of road.

He later died at an

Akron hospital.

Laughlin said Akron police received information about Wells’ whereabouts on Tuesday and descended on the Allenford Street address.

“We got a tip that he was there,” Laughlin said. “Based on that, we are going to err on the side of caution, [but] it didn’t pan out.”

At the height of Tuesday’s operation on Allenford Street, police had assembled 12 cruisers and a police van.

A section of Allenford Street from Manchester Road to Pelton Avenue was blocked off as onlookers watched from both ends of the street.

Laughlin said that police believe, based on the information they received, that Wells was at the home at some point Tuesday. Before the SWAT team activity, Wells’ mother left the house.

Laughlin said that police continue to seek information about Wells’ location.

“Hopefully, we get some traction,” he said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Akron Police Department Detective Bureau at 330-3752490; or 330-375-2Tip, or the Summit County Crimestoppers Inc. at 330-434-COPS. You can also text TIPSCO with your tips to 274637 (Crimes). Callers can remain anonymous.

GM frustrates Ohio delegation US Sen. Sherrod Brown says automaker lacks commitment to Lordstown plant

By Marty Schladen The Columbus Dispatch GateHouse Media Ohio

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown said a Wednesday meeting with General Motors CEO Mary Barra did nothing to lift his hopes that production will resume at the company’s Lordstown assembly plant any time soon.

Brown, a Democrat, Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican, and other members of Ohio’s congressional delegation met with Barra to discuss the future of the Lordstown plant, where GM has been cutting back production for years before idling it completely in March.

The company cited soft sales of the compact Cruze that it made there.

Elected officials and other Ohioans blasted GM for the move, citing the fact that taxpayers put up billions to bail out the automaker in 2009 and 2010 and that President Donald Trump’s tax cuts of 2017 showered an estimated $157 million in additional benefits on the company.

Trump in 2017 exhorted a Youngstown audience, “Don’t move.

Don’t sell your house.”

But Brown said Barra on Wednesday had a different message for the thousands in Northeast Ohio who’d lost jobs.

“It was not as productive as I’d hoped,” Brown said. “She said she didn’t want to create false hopes.”

GM last month said it was in talks to sell the

plant to Cincinnatibased Workhorse Group to produce electric delivery trucks, a move touted on Twitter by Trump. But that project would only create up to 450 jobs, the company’s finances are shaky and it’s unclear whether the pay and benefits would be on a par with those of the United Auto Workers members who worked there previously.

Portman on Tuesday and Brown on Wednesday said they both preferred that GM resume production in the sprawling, 54-yearold plant — particularly as GM is announcing plans to build 20 new electric vehicles by 2023.

“We continue to have questions about GM’s decision to close the plant instead of bringing production of one of its 20 new electric vehicles there,” Portman said in a statement issued by his office after the meeting.

“My first choice remains for GM to reinvest in Lordstown, but we also need to hear more about this proposal to sell the plant to Workhorse and whether it will work. In the coming weeks and months, we will continue to work with GM, the UAW, and other key stakeholders on this matter.”

Brown said that in Barra’s talks with Ohio members of Congress, the GM leader declined to make any commitments to Lordstown.

He also criticized GM’s “well-paid executives” for not understanding what a hardship it is for some Northeast Ohio workers to move elsewhere for GM jobs, as some have been offered.

YOURBUSINESS IN BRIEF DELIVERIES

Amazon within months of deploying its drones Amazon said Wednesday that it plans to use selfpiloted drones to deliver packages to shoppers’ homes in the coming months.

The online shopping giant did not give exact timing or say where the drones will be making deliveries.

Amazon said its new drones use computer vision and machine learning to detect and avoid people or clotheslines in backyards when landing.

Jeff Wilke, who oversees Amazon’s retail business, said the drones are fully electric, can fly up to 15 miles, deliver in 30 minutes and carry goods that weigh up to 5 pounds, like a paperback or toothpaste.

INVESTING

$1 million for good ideas Paradox Prize seeks ways to get Northeast Ohio residents without cars to jobs Beacon Journal/Ohio.com

Interested in getting part of a $1 million prize?

Then come up with a good idea — a big idea — on helping Northeast Ohio residents who don’t have a car get to where the jobs are.

The Fund for Our Economic Future and other economic development organizations and foundations have created

the $1 million Paradox Prize, which seeks to invest in what organizers call “big ideas that help Northeast Ohioans who are stranded economically by their geography.”

Over the decades, jobs have spread farther away from where people live, the organizations said.

Now it can take someone three hours a day to commute to a job using public transportation, while using a car can consume more than an hour’s worth of wages, the group said in a news release.

“Too many residents find

themselves stuck in an intractable scenario: no car, no job; no job, no car,” Bethia Burke, Fund for Our Economic Future vice president, said in the release. “The Transportation Paradox can be solved if Northeast Ohio embraces sealess mobility solutions. We are no longer living in a world where transportation options need to be limited by the choice between individualized car ownership or a traditional bus.”

That increased distance between people and jobs also reduces employers’ access

to the workforce and creates hiring and retention challenges, said Marty McGann, senior vice president of advocacy and strategic initiatives at Greater Cleveland Partnership.

Anyone with a good idea can apply, the group said.

Go to paradoxprize.com for additional information.

Applicants are asked to submit a 300-word summary of the transportation challenge they’re trying to address, a proposed solution, and potential partners.

Trade war could boost lunch bills

New SEC rule targets conflicts of interest Stockbrokers will have to divulge their potential conflicts of interest to clients when they give them investment advice under action taken Wednesday by federal regulators.

The regulation adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission will also require brokerages to eliminate sales contests and quotas that reward brokers who generate the highest sales of certain investment products.

Still, critics say the SEC’s new measure, which the financial industry supports, doesn’t go far enough to protect investors from abuses. They say a stricter standard that advanced under the Obama administration should apply to brokers. This standard, called a “fiduciary duty rule” required all financial professionals, including brokers, to act as trustees who must put their clients’ interests above their own.

ECONOMY

Service companies grow at stronger pace in May U.S. service companies expanded at stronger pace in May, driven in part by an increase in employment and business activity.

The Institute for Supply Management, an association of purchasing managers, reported Wednesday that its service index rose to 56.9 last month, up from 55.5 in April. Readings above 50 point toward continued growth.

Companies surveyed for the index reported a 4.4point gain in employment to 58.1, while business activity increased 1.7 points to 56.9.

Still, some of the companies said they’re monitoring the tariffs that President Donald Trump imposed on China for possible negative impacts on the economy.

Trump’s tarifs afect packaging from China, produce from Mexico

By Leslie Patton Bloomberg

The growing threat of an all-out global trade war means Americans may have to fork out more cash at lunchtime.

Firehouse Subs will likely bump sandwich prices by 10 cents because of tariffs on to-go packaging it gets from China. The cost is amplified by the fact that about 60% of the company’s orders are for takeout or delivery, according to Don Fox, chief executive officer of the 1,100-store chain.

“It’s a critical item for us,” Fox said in an interview. “It might not seem like a lot, but it adds up in a hurry.”

Across the industry, tariffs are causing another headache for chains already grappling with higher wages, a dearth of workers and pork prices inflated by an outbreak of African swine fever.

Imminent levies on staple imports like avocados and tomatoes, part of the Trump administration’s pledge to punish Mexico for immigration, may add up to $875 million for those two products alone, according to an estimate from A.T. Kearney.

This will likely be passed along to consumers in the form of price increases.

Like Firehouse, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. uses sugar-cane pulp known as bagasse for its burrito bowls

and kids’ meals packaging.

China is an important supplier of the material, but the tariffs forced the 2,500store company to diversify its supply chain earlier this year to reduce costs. It’s now also getting bagasse from Taiwan and is looking at other Asian nations as well for supplies.

Tomatoes and avocados are a tougher nut to crack, however. Mexico’s geographic proximity and longer growing season has made it a key U.S. supplier for these products. Mexican-grown avocados made up 78% of the U.S. market last year, Hass Avocado Board data show.

The U.S.’s southern neighbor also exports significant quantities of cucumbers,

berries, peppers, coffee, beef and other food.

Chipotle estimates the Mexico tariffs, if enacted, could cost them $15 million this year. The burrito chain would consider bumping menu prices by “about a nickel on a burrito,” according to a statement from Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung.

Higher prices could also be on the menu at chains like Subway Restaurants, which get vegetables from Mastronardi Produce, a Canadian greenhouse grower with facilities in Mexico that produce tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.

JOBS

Survey finds US adds fewest jobs in nine years U.S. companies added the fewest jobs in nine years, a private survey found, as manufacturers, construction firms and mining companies cut workers.

Payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that businesses added just 27,000 jobs in May, the fewest since March 2010.

The figures come just after ADP reported strong hiring in April, when companies added 271,000 jobs, the most in nine months.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, which helps compile the data, said the broader hiring trend is probably closer to the average of the two month’s gains, at around 150,000.

More help coming for robocalls?

New FCC eforts could help some, but more needs to be done

By Tali Arbel The Associated Press

NEW YORK — New tools are coming to fight robocalls, but don’t expect unwanted calls to disappear.

Political gridlock could derail bills aimed at beefing up enforcement and forcing phone companies to do more. The companies have been slow to act against such

automated calls on their own.

And even if companies do implement better technology, scammers and telemarketers will somehow get through in this never-ending arms race.

“We get things working really well. We’re flagging all these calls as scams. And then the scammers find a new way,” said Grant Castle, vice president of engineering at T-Mobile. “We have to adjust. It is a constant back-and-forth.”

ROBOCALLS From Page B6

Still, there’s hope that new efforts from the Federal Communications Commission and the industry should help you dodge many robocalls, even if they won’t go away completely. In a scheduled vote Thursday with big implications, the FCC is clarifying that phone companies can block many unwanted calls without asking customers first.

Phone scams have cost victims millions of dollars.

And they disrupt institutions, not just your dinner.

A hospital in Florida, the Moffitt Cancer Center, received 6,600 calls over 90 days faked to look as though they were coming from inside the hospital, diverting 65 hours of staff time from patient care.

The aggravation isn’t limited to scammers pretending to be from the IRS or Social Security.

Call-blocker YouMail estimates that about a third of robocalls come from debt collectors and companies pitching cruises or insurance.

The robocall problem has exploded because cheap software makes it easy to make mass calls. Scammers don’t care if you’ve added your number to the government’s Do Not Call list.

Yet enforcement against illegal callers is negligible.

Federal agencies have fined scammers hundreds of millions of dollars, but it’s been difficult to collect. Many of the callers are overseas. It’s hard to throw the fraudsters in jail.

As a result, robocalls from scammers and legitimate companies have risen to 5 billion per month in the U.S., according to YouMail.

That works out to 14 calls per person.

It’s nearly double the 2.7 billion robocalls in November 2017, when the government gave wireless companies such as Verizon and T-Mobile permission to block some problem calls that are certainly scams, like if they started with a 911 area code.

Wireless carriers are implementing a system to identify faked numbers and have rolled out call-blocking apps. But they haven’t done much else, worried about their own legal liability for accidentally blocking calls that should go through.

Rules the FCC is expected to approve Thursday could make call-blocking widespread. But carriers still wouldn’t have to make call-blocking the default, and they could charge for it, too — just as they now charge for some caller ID features and other extras.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai believes wireless carriers will have an incentive to step up and offer these services for free.

“These robocalls that are being placed on their own networks are a hassle and a cost for them to handle,” Pai said in an interview.

He said he hopes that this measure helps consumers avoid all unwanted calls, not just illegal scams.

That worries businesses and institutions that make such calls. Royal Credit Union, a small Midwestern bank, says widespread call-blocking would make it harder for their fraud alerts and low-balance warnings to reach customers. Customers “expect us to reach them in certain situations,” CEO Brandon Riechers said.

Another angle of attack is to get rid of “spoofed” numbers. That’s when a scammer fakes the number on your phone to look like it’s coming from the same area code you have, in an effort to get you to pick up.

The industry has been working on a system that will ensure that the number that comes up on people’s phones is real. That’s only beginning to roll out, and to work well, all the carriers have to implement it.

Ohio man desires romance but spoils mood without teeth

Dear Abby DEAR ABBY: I dated a man several

get his false teeth adjusted or replaced. Out of consideration for you, he should wear them when he desires intimacy. That you don’t get turned on when he’s toothless isn’t shallow. I’m sure many women would feel the same way.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 53-year-old man who has had few girlfriends, although there are some women who are interested and who I would date. For some reason, I don’t move forward, and I’m worried that I’m so set in my ways I’ll be alone for the rest of my life.

Could the issue be that I haven’t met the right person?

Other reasons could be my insecurity, lack of trust in women, and my fear that women won’t like my lifestyle (I have no ambition). Most people find a mate.

Why not me? — MR. ALONE

years ago, and we just hooked up again. In the interim, he had all of his teeth pulled. His dentures are ill-fitting, and he refuses to get them adjusted. As a result, he goes without any teeth, which I find a whole lot less than sexy. Our love life is suffering as a result.

He has tried to persuade me to kiss him without the teeth, or he sits around all evening and then runs and puts them in for a “bootie call.” But now he doesn’t even do THAT! He’ll wear the teeth to work and other places, but not with me.

He expects me to get in the mood, even though he looks like Grandpa.

We had a spat about it, and he called me shallow. Am I? I take pride in my appearance FOR HIM. I think he just expects me to get over it and make out with him toothless, but I can’t! We see each other once a week or less. Please tell the truth here. — MAKING THE EFFORT IN OHIO

Dear Mr. Alone: The reason may be that, until now, you haven’t been willing to identify the issues that have prevented you from finding one. A licensed mental health professional can help you overcome your insecurities and inability to trust. Once you succeed at that, you may find you have more ambition than you think.

Dear Making: The truth is, your friend needs to see a dentist and

FAMILY CIRCUS

Girlfriend isn’t delivery girl DEAR MISS MANNERS: I live with my boyfriend, who recently needed me to bring lunch to him at work on a day that he forgot to bring it. I was more than happy to bring him a nice, freshly heated meal. Due to the circumstances of his work, I could not stay to make it a lunch together, so I was just dropping it off.

Today, when we woke up, he asked me to drop off lunch for him at work again. I told him that unless he forgot a lunch or was running late, this is using me as a delivery girl.

He then huffed that he would ask his sister instead. His sister has five to seven kids that she looks after during the day, so I told him that it would be unfair, and that it was also unfair to expect me to drop my schedule (even if it isn’t full like his sister’s) when he has every ability to bring his lunch.

He walked off without a response. He walks away without a response quite a bit, which is hurtful to me.

Do I not deserve a response to at least say that he heard what I said, or that he disagrees, or agrees, or he’ll think about it? Was I wrong about it being presumptuous to expect me to deliver him lunch when he didn’t forget it and had time to pack it? And, if I wasn’t wrong, was my explanation rude?

Gentle Reader: As living together is often touted as a tryout period prior to a more permanent arrangement, it might be productive to examine the lessons learned about your boyfriend’s behavior, as Miss Manners assures you that your own was proper.

DEAR MISS MANNERS:

I would like to know if it is considered rude to say please and thank you simultaneously.

Gentle Reader: “Please” and “thank you” are used to going out arm-in-arm, so an occasional, accidental collision may occur.

Pushing them both down the stairs in an exasperated tone that makes clear the intention was to express frustration is less charming, though not, surprisingly, impolite. Miss Manners prefers it to more explicit declarations of annoyance.

By Frank Stewart An alligator wearing a vest is not an investigator.

(Neither is an alligator who works for Charles Schwab.)

But declarer must often be an investigator; he may need information about one suit to decide how to play another.

In today’s deal, South’s five spades suggested slam interest and controls in both unbid suits. North went on to slam, and West led the queen of diamonds. Declarer took the ace and led the ace of trumps ... and was annoyed when East showed out. South later won heart finesses but lost two trump tricks.

South must launch an investigation. At Trick Two, he lets the queen of hearts ride. If the finesse lost, South would need to pick up the trumps without loss. His best chance would be to cash the ace.

When the heart finesse wins, South can afford one trump loser but not two. He can therefore execute a safety play in trumps: He leads a club to his hand and returns a low trump, intending to play the nine from dummy if West follows with the seven.

A nonprofit health system that serves many HIV positive clients denounced Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder on Wednesday for his criticism of gay pride events at public libraries in central Ohio.

Equitas Householder Health Director Julia Applegate said in a prepared statement that Householder used his position to “kick off LGBTQ+ Pride Month by stirring up hate across Ohio.” Equality Ohio joined Equitas in its statement, noting Wednesday afternoon on Twitter that 500 people had sent Householder a letter with the same sentiment.

Householder, a Glenford Republican, wrote in a letter last week to the Ohio Library Council that he thought it was a joke when he heard that central Ohio libraries were hosting drag queen educational programming for teens.

A June 7 event at the Licking County Library in Newark was to include a tutorial for drag queen makeup, but it was canceled.

The Delaware County Library canceled its “Drag 101” class, which was to focus on theatrical elements of the art form, that had been scheduled for June 5.

This female snow leopard cub was born April 29 at the Akron Zoo. She doesn’t have a name yet, but zoo officials said a contest will be held to name her.

Zoo personnel noticed an abnormality in her eyelids, and she was diagnosed with colobomas.

Multiple ocular colobomas (MOC) can cause abnormalities to parts of the eye, varying in severity and can include the eyelids, iris and optic nerves.

“We plan to monitor the cub closely and allow her eyes to develop a little more,” Rizzo said. “When she is a little bigger, we will decide the best course

of treatment for her.”

Shanti previously welcomed two cubs in 2012, two cubs in 2014 and three cubs in 2016 with her previous mate, Roscoe.

Snow leopards are native to the Himalayan mountain range in central Asia and have been facing habitat loss and poaching due to the illegal fur trade, as well as human conflict.

Naming contest planned ater snow leopard Shanti has baby girl

The Akron Zoo’s snow leopard Shanti has birthed her eighth cub in eight years.

The latest cub was born April 29 at the zoo, and is in a private “cubbing area,” the zoo revealed Wednesday.

The female cub — which weighed 1 pound at birth and now weighs 5 pounds — will remain there until later this summer. The cub has no name; the zoo will have a naming contest at a later date.

The cub was born with a relatively common eye defect in snow leopards — colobomas — and zoo officials may decide later on that she needs corrective surgery.

“Aside from her eyes, she is thriving in every way,” Dr. Brittany Rizzo, director of animal health at the Akron Zoo, said in a news release. “Shanti is taking great care of her little girl, which we are very happy to see.”

incubator for thought and ideas, for debate and discussion. On this point, we all can agree.

But I can also assure you the taxpayers aren’t interested in seeing their hard-earned dollars being used to teach teenage boys how to become drag queens. I expect this to end immediately,” Householder wrote in his letter.

On its website, Equality says, “We do not apologize for drag.

We celebrate it. We’re in a drag renaissance. Ohio has some of the nation’s best and most charitable performers. Exposing youth to drag is not ‘sexualizing’ them. Drag is an art form.”

On Saturday, a group of eight House Democrats from Franklin County issued a joint statement, calling Householder’s comments “unfortunate.”

Applegate wrote in her statement that Equitas has trained library staff “in creating affirming environments for LGBTQ+ patrons and has held public forums about LGTBQ+ health equity at libraries around the state.” She offered the same training for Householder and members of the Ohio General Assembly.

“The use of fear-based divisive tactics by an elected official is a stunning example of why we need public libraries to function as independent centers of public education and discussion,” she wrote.

Citizens for Community Values President Aaron Baer fired back at Equitas on Twitter, saying: “Not wanting drag to be taught to kids is not the same as being against the safety

of LGBT people. Stop the hyperbole.”

Beacon Journal/Ohio.com

BEREA — Odell Beckham Jr.’s reunion with the Browns has rejuvenated his excitement about his new team.

After skipping the vast majority of the voluntary offseason workout program that began April 1, Beckham reported to Browns headquarters Monday for mandatory minicamp.

He addressed media after Wednesday’s practice, the second of this week’s three sessions, and couldn’t hide his enthusiasm.

“I do see a lot of potential with this team, and not even just because I’m here,” Beckham said. “I really feel it, and I feel something in the air, something special that Cleveland hasn’t had for a while. And I’m happy to be a part of that. I hope that I can help do whatever I need to do to push that that way.”

Beckham expressed confidence he’ll absorb coach Freddie Kitchens’ playbook and build chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield without much trouble. He plans to work out regularly with Mayfield in Los Angeles this summer.

He also notices the pieces falling into place for the entire team. He became

a vital part of it all when Browns General Manager John Dorsey acquired him March 12 by pulling off a blockbuster trade with the New York Giants.

“I’m almost giddy,” said Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowl selection. “I feel like a little kid with the excitement that I have, seeing Baker, seeing these guys.

You know we talk a lot about this offense, but this defense is something special, and this team is really coming together.

“I’m beyond excited about the opportunity I have here to start over, a new team.

Obviously, the goal is always going to be the same — to

hang banners. That’s what you play this game for. We know we got a lot of expectations. We got a lot of work to do, and I think we’ll get there.”

Beckham, 26, explained why he skipped the team’s three-day voluntary veteran minicamp in late April and participated in just one of nine OTA practices last month.

“Everybody knows their body,” Beckham said. “I know my body better than anybody else, so I know what it takes to get me in top physical condition, mental, all of those things. This isn’t my first rodeo. It’s not my first go-round. I just know

what it takes to get there.

“Coach [Kitchens] and I have a different plan than everybody else. We talked and communicated throughout the offseason, so he knew my whereabouts and when I’d be here and when I wouldn’t be. So everybody kind of knew the game plan, and I was just taking my time easing back into it. The good thing about it is we play in September.”

Beckham had been vacationing throughout the world and training on his own in Los Angeles.

Success follows RubberDucks’ Nelson Let-handed reliever rising fast in Indians’ minor league system

By Brad Bournival ABJ/Ohio.com correspondent

New team. New league.

Same bulldog attitude.

To the surprise of no one in the Indians organization, no matter where reliever Kyle Nelson goes, success follows.

That’s the way Nelson’s minor league career has gone to this point as the 15th-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft has shot through

Carlos Carrasco has blood condition

the lower levels in a meteoric clip.

Ranked as the best lefthanded reliever in the Indians minor league system

by Baseball America, Nelson also has the “Best Slider,” according to the publication.

He may have the best numbers as well.

“It’s just being aggressive,” Nelson said. “I try my best to stay in the strike zone and not give hitters too much credit. That’s what I’ve been doing since I started playing. It’s understanding that Double A is the biggest jump. It’s knowing

hitters are going to have a better approach.

“You don’t necessarily have to change what you’re doing, but hitters aren’t going to bail you out. That’s the biggest key. You have to be more refined with your stuff, but not to the point where you’re nibbling and getting behind in counts.”

Nelson started the season at Lynchburg and appeared in eight games before coming to Akron on May 3.

Absolutely nothing has changed with the RubberDucks.

If not for a home run by

Austin Listi on Tuesday, Nelson would still be navigating his way through the Eastern League without allowing an earned run.

This season, he has only allowed two runs in 13 ⅔ innings and has three saves in three save opportunities.

He’s 1-0 with the Ducks with a 0.66 ERA and 23 strikeouts and is 2-0 with a 0.39 ERA and 40 punchouts between Lynchburg and Akron combined.

“Some players adjust to the level wherever they See DUCKS, C5

CLEVELAND — The Indians announced Wednesday that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco is being added to the nonbaseball, medical condition injured list and is stepping away from baseball activities for the time being.

Carrasco, who has felt lethargic for the last several weeks, has been diagnosed with a blood condition, according to the team. Details of the condition will be conveyed at the discretion of Carrasco and his family.

Carrasco underwent a heart procedure because of heart palpitations in October 2014.

In part because of those concerns in the past, along with his sluggishness this season, he recently had blood tests.

As he explores different treatment options, Carrasco is stepping away from baseball. The Indians don't yet know when he will be able to return to the team, but said they do expect him back this season. At this point, though, nothing is guaranteed.

The Indians held a team meeting with Carrasco present just before Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. They spoke about his baseball family, but no baseball.

Colts drafted Okereke despite assault claim

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard did his homework on Bobby Okereke. A sexual assault allegation from 2015 didn’t scare him off.

Just hours after Okereke’s name surfaced publicly for the first time in the case, Ballard told reporters on a conference call he took a hard look at Okereke’s past and made others in the organization aware of the accusation before selecting the Stanford linebacker in April’s NFL draft.

“When we looked at it and talked to him, it was an incident from four years ago. He was never charged with a crime, he was never disciplined by the university,” Ballard said. “From everything we gathered, we felt it was appropriate to take him.” Okereke has not spoken about the incident since it was first reported by The Fountain Hopper, an independent student-run website at Stanford. The New York Times initially reported on the case in December 2016, without naming the parties involved, and said a university board twice voted 3-2 in favor of the accuser but that no punishment was assessed because Stanford policy required a vote of at least 4-1. The Times also reported the university denied the accuser’s request for a third hearing.

later filed a rape complaint.

The player’s legal team issued a statement saying it was the unidentified woman’s attorneys who sought the May 29 meeting, in which no agreement was reached.

The woman’s lawyers had said the request came from Neymar’s lawyers.

Her legal team at the time said her first complaint had been of “aggression” or “physical violence.” She filed more serious rape complaint against Neymar on Friday in Sao Paulo.

The woman later changed lawyers.

Atletico leads Spanish challenge to Champions League revamp Seven Spanish soccer teams have protested against a plan to transform the Champions League into a largely closed competition, openly opposing the European Club Association ahead of emergency meetings in Malta.

Atletico Madrid, second to Barcelona in the Spanish league, is the biggest club to complain to the ECA leadership about its vision for launching a “frontal attack” on the stability of the European game in a letter obtained

by The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Barcelona and Real Madrid, whose officials sit on the executive board of the 232-member ECA, are not among the signatories.

But Spain’s other seven members of the clubs group broke rank to express concern to the organization about a lack of consultation and openness about plans they say represent “the biggest threat in the history of European football in recent years.”

Blues beating Bruins in battle of attrition

By Stephen Whyno The Associated Press

BOSTON — Twice the Boston Bruins have been forced to finish a Stanley Cup Final game down a defenseman. The St. Louis Blues won each time.

That’s not a coincidence.

Wearing out opponents and winning the war of attrition has been an ingredient of the Blues’ playoff success. They took advantage of injuries to San Jose’s Erik Karlsson, Joe Pavelski and Tomas Hertl to move on to the final, and with Boston potentially without captain Zdeno Chara for Game 5 Thursday St. Louis is now two victories away from lifting the Stanley Cup as the healthier team.

“We can see it throughout games and throughout series,” Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo said Wednesday. “It’s tough minutes to play against our forward lines when they’re playing the way they can. You can see the momentum we create by our line changes in the offensive zone, we’re just using all four lines. If I was a defenseman, that would be tough to defend against.”

Chara did not go to the arena at all Wednesday, 36 hours after taking a puck to the jaw in Boston’s Game 4 loss that tied the series at two games apiece.

Coach Bruce Cassidy didn’t talk

to and only briefly texted with the 42-year-old defenseman, who has a facial injury that has been reported to be a broken jaw.

Just like the Sharks series in the Western Conference final, the Blues insist their game plan doesn’t change depending on who’s in or out of the lineup on the other side. That includes Chara, even though missing him on the penalty kill and defensively could make a big difference.

“We prepare for a game from our side,” Conn Smythe Trophy candidate Vladimir Tarasenko said. “We can control our game.

We don’t know what’s gonna happen if he’s gonna play or no. We just follow our plan.

That’s it.”

The absence of Chara could prove to be the tipping point in a bruising battle between the Bruins and Blues. Boston defenseman Matt Grzelcyk is out with a concussion and St. Louis forward Robert Thomas is out with a suspected hand or wrist injury. Cassidy said Grzelcyk, who practiced in a no-contact jersey Wednesday, is still in concussion protocol and would need to be medically cleared in order to play in Game 5 on Thursday night.

If Boston is without two of its top five defensemen in Chara and Grzelcyk, it would mean bigger roles for John Moore and

Connor Clifton and the possibility of Steven Kampfer seeing his first action since Game 1 of the East final. And the Bruins’ entire approach would change.

“You lose a little bit of your team defense, well, maybe you’ve got to create more offense to balance that out,” Cassidy said. “You got a guy that kills penalties well, maybe stay a little more disciplined.

Down the line of how can you make up for what he brings without one guy going in there.”

Meanwhile, St. Louis is relatively healthy except for Thomas. The Blues got defenseman Vince Dunn back for Game 4 after he missed almost three weeks after taking a puck to the face in the West final,

“He’s a dynamic player,” coach Craig Berube said. “He can make something out of nothing a lot of times. He’s very good at that.

He’s elusive and even coming out of our own end, you feel like there are times when the puck is going to get stopped up and he’ll do something and make a move and a quick play with the puck that breaks a guy out and it’s a great play that we’re going up the ice now.”

French Open rainout sinks schedule

Editor's note: Wednesday night's Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors was not completed in time for this edition. For the result, go to Ohio.com.

SAN RAMON, Calif. — Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway spent two seasons as teammates at Oracle Arena, back when it was called the OaklandAlameda County Coliseum Arena.

The nostalgia is flooding back this week.

The Golden State Warriors' era in Oakland is ending. Only two or three games remain, starting with Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. And when Mullin and Hardaway — twothirds of the team's famed "Run TMC" trio from 1989 through 1991 — reunited to appear at a Warriors' youth summer camp, they couldn't help but reflect on what the building has meant.

"It's always time for change," Hardaway said.

"You knew it was going to come at some particular time. It's here and now."

The Warriors move across the bay from Oakland to San Francisco next season and start playing their games at the glistening new Chase Center, a building that will open in about three months.

When the team started installing the first seats at the new building, Hardaway was there for the ceremony.

Mullin is still the only Warriors player to have 15 field goals in a game while posting a triple-double in the building now called

Oracle. He said it is fitting to send the building out with a finals run.

"I think it brings back a lot of great memories," Mullin said.

"The incredible loyal fan base in Oakland and Oracle Arena. I think we have to be really proud and happy for how this thing's closing out, right? ... Change is inevitable, it brings a lot of different emotions, but the only thing we can [do] here is celebrate."

Mullin and Hardaway still don't disagree on all that much, including the current state of the Warriors. Win or lose these NBA Finals, they say the Warriors have already become a dynasty.

"This is one of the best teams ever put together," Hardaway said.

Said Mullin: "They're already a dynasty, up there with the greatest teams of all time. Going to five NBA Finals in a row hasn't been done since Bill Russell's Celtics. That, right there — that was a dynasty, this is a dynasty."

They would have preferred to have the entirety of

Run TMC at the camp with them — Mitch Richmond was tending to a business matter in China, Mullin told the campers.

But they had plenty of stories to regale the kids with: Mullin said there was no player he learned more from than Hardaway, and Hardaway recalled how he watched Mullin shoot for two hours without missing once.

They were together for the 1989-90 and 1990-91 seasons, Hardaway's first two in the NBA. Their run ended when the Warriors traded Richmond to Sacramento.

But "Run TMC" remains part of Warriors' lore.

"We're blessed, Tim and I and Mitch to have been able to stay together, stay close friends, pretty much our whole lives," Mullin said.

"We often look back and we smile. We've got great memories together.

Of course, we wanted it to last longer but we cherish the times we were together and we're able to share it with each other and the greatest fans in the world."

Texas.

Kent State senior Samory Fraga jumped 25-1¼ inches to finish 15th.

Also earning a trip to nationals but not placing in the top eight were pole vaulters Matt Ludwig and Matt Keim of Akron and Christian Champen of Kent State.

Ludwig cleared 17-6½ to tie for 13th and Champen reached the same mark but tied for 15th after needing multiple attempts.

After five events in the decathalon, Kent junior TJ Lawson was in third place with 4,216 points.

He trailed first place by 129 points.

ON THE RECORD TRACK AND FIELD

UA's Jordan Latimer eighth in long jump University of Akron senior Jordan Latimer jumped 25-8¼ to place eighth in the men's long jump on day one of the NCAA Championships on Wednesday in Austin,

reasons by coach Craig Berube in Game 4. Bortuzzo came out when Dunn was ready to return but has two goals in the past two rounds despite not being much of a scorer.

Cassidy and Berube have been matching wits all series with roster decisions. From this point on, the right and wrong calls could determine the Cup champion, and the Bruins have faith in Cassidy to push the right buttons and compensate for injuries.

“He kind of knows how to get guys going,” center Patrice Bergeron said.

“He has a good read and a good feel on how to do that and how to handle it.”

Berube has tweaked far more in this series than previous rounds, all the while counting on St. Louis to not stray from its straightforward game that thrives off punishes opponents.

“We have to keep pounding them,” forward Patrick Maroon said. “We just got keep doing the same thing. Our team’s not flashy at all. It’s north/south.

Dumping it in. Wearing teams down.

“When we don’t do that, their defense is effective in moving up in the play. Oddman rushes. The D can jump higher. When we’re doing well, we’re limiting their time and space. We’re wearing them down.”

PARIS — The second fullday washout at the French Open since 2000 made a mess of the schedule Wednesday and raised the possibility that the Grand Slam tournament will not finish on time.

Tournament director Guy Forget said there is a chance that the women’s singles final could be delayed from Saturday to Sunday.

“It’s not what we hope,” Forget said, “but if we have no other choice, then that’s what we will do.”

Roland Garros is the only Grand Slam site without a covered court; a retractable roof is expected to be added to the main stadium before next year’s tournament at the facility in western Paris.

As things stand now, with the last two women’s quarterfinals — defending champion Simona Halep of Romania vs. 17-yearold Amanda Anisimova of the U.S., and No. 8 Ash Barty of Australia vs. No. 14 Madison Keys of the U.S. — moved from Wednesday to Thursday, whoever emerges from that half of the draw could end up playing on three consecutive days.

The semifinals that were supposed to be Thursday are now scheduled for Friday.

But, as Forget noted, while Thursday’s forecast looks OK, Friday’s calls for more showers.

“Friday,” he said, “is kind of complicated.”

That would mean the women’s semifinals could end up on Saturday.

Also moved from Wednesday to Thursday were the last two men’s

quarterfinals: No. 1 Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who is attempting to win a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title, against No. 5 Alexander Zverev of Germany, and No. 4 Dominic Thiem of Austria vs. No. 10 Karen Khachanov of Russia.

Instead of beginning at 2 p.m. local time (1200 GMT, 8 a.m. EDT) on Thursday, play will start at noon (1000 GMT, 6 a.m. EDT).

One semifinal in each singles draw already was set Tuesday, so those players can sit back, relax and prepare. On the men’s side, Rafael Nadal faces Roger Federer, meeting Friday for sixth time at Roland Garros and 39th time overall. They own a combined 37 Grand Slam titles.

“The one,” Forget called it, “that a lot of people are waiting for, of course.”

On the women’s side, it’s No. 26 Johanna Konta of Britain against unseeded 19-year-old Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic. Neither has reached a major final.

Play was wiped out by rain at the French Open for a full day in 2016. Before that, it hadn’t happened since 2000.

In 2012, the men’s final between Nadal and Djokovic began on Sunday but was suspended in the fourth set and resumed Monday. That was the first time since 1973 that the clay-court major tournament lasted past its originally scheduled final Sunday.

“When we have uncertain weather, of course, it’s very hard to predict scheduling,” Forget said. “But we have to always study the worse-case scenario, knowing that ideally we want to try to finish on Sunday.”

Yankees inielder slow to heal New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that injured infielder Troy Tulowitzki has returned home as he attempts to recover from a strained left calf.

Boone said last weekend that Tulowitzki had pretty much recovered from his injury and the Yankees were discussing when the five-time All-Star might start a minor-league injury rehabilitation assignment. However, Tulowiztki has not been working out at the

Yankees' spring training facility in Tampa, Florida.

"We've given him a couple of days off as he just tried to get over that hump and kind of push through the finish line with getting exactly right," Boone said Wednesday. "Just not quite there yet, so a couple of days where he'll be down."

Tulowitzki last played April 3. He hit .182 with one homer and one RBI in five games before his injury.

New York's need for

him will lessen with Didi Gregorius' expected return Friday following Tommy John surgery in October.

Tulowitzki suffered ligament damage to his right ankle when he stepped awkwardly on first base while playing for the Blue Jays in July 2017. He did not play at all last season after surgery in spring training to remove bone spurs from both heels.

Dustin Johnson has doubts Pro golfer skeptical about defending Canadian Open title The Associated Press

LANCASTER, Ontario — A couple of key changes have stacked the odds against Dustin Johnson as he tries to defend his RBC Canadian Open title.

The No. 2 player in the world pulled away from the field after a nearly two-hour rain delay to win his first Canadian Open last year, firing 6-under 66 in last year's final round to finish at 23 under. But this year the only Canadian stop on the PGA Tour has moved from Glen Abbey Golf Club, a course Johnson is familiar with, to Hamilton Golf and Country Club.

More importantly, the tournament has moved up in the golf calendar, making it a lead-in event to the U.S. Open and drawing a significantly stronger group of competitors.

"I mean, it's a really good field. It's a golf course I haven't played. That definitely adds a little bit more difficulty to it," Johnson said Wednesday.

go,” RubberDucks manager Rouglas Odor said. “He’s one of them. He went from Lake County to Lynchburg and did the same thing. Now, he’s coming from Lynchburg to here and doing the same thing.

"He sticks with his strength and sticks with the conviction that it will work. If you keep the ball down and stay in the zone, you’ll find success and that’s what he’s doing.”

That’s been the norm for Nelson since he came to

"I don't know the golf course as well as I know Glen Abbey, where I played a lot of Opens."

Johnson is joined by topranked Brooks Koepka, fresh off of his PGA Championship win, No. 4 Rory McIlroy and

the Indians from UC Santa Barbara.

He’s 11-3 with a 1.57 ERA in 73 appearances over his minor league career and has converted 16 saves in 21 opportunities. Over the course of 97 ⅔ innings, Nelson has struck out 147 and walked just 20. He doesn’t give up the long ball either as Listi’s shot to center field was just the fourth he’s given up since being drafted. “As players, you have to focus on yourself and what you can control and that’s being aggressive on the field and throwing strikes and preparing yourself every day,” Nelson said. “I just try to stay in the present.”

No. 6 Justin Thomas, who was added to the field on Friday.

Historically, the Canadian Open was held in September, but starting in 2007 it was played in late July, the prime golf season. Unfortunately,

That has been a big part of Nelson’s success as he doesn’t get too far ahead of himself.

He knows as long as his 92 mph fastball is popping and his two variations of a slider are moving, the Indians will take notice.

“Every single game is different,” Odor said. “Every game is different. You have to turn the page. It’s over. You can’t live in the past.

You have to continue to work and put yourself in good position to do well. Yesterday, last month, last season is over.

You have to continue to work, and when success continues to repeat, that’s when you get consistent and that’s what we want here.”

Rainy night in Cleveland

it was also the week after the British Open, causing many of the PGA Tour's top players to miss the tournament as they recovered from the challenging major.

Now in early June, many

Francona said. "Our one thought of the day is how we’re going to win a game.

And I don’t apologize for that.

At the same time, it’s kind of amazing how quickly you can shift gears. We talked about it as a team last night."

"Not that you can ever take the place of a guy’s own family, but the guys in that room are pretty special to each other. They look out for each other. At times like this, they’ve risen to the occasion before, and they will again."

Carrasco has a 4-6 record and 4.98 ERA with 79 strikeouts in 65 innings this season.

Roster moves In addition to placing Carrasco on the medical injured list, the Indians also optioned outfielder Greg Allen to Triple-A and recalled right-handed pitchers Jon Edwards and Nick Goody.

Carrasco was originally slated to start Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Instead, the Indians turned to Tyler Clippard and the bullpen. Hence, Edwards and Goody were recalled to add some needed depth.

Francona also announced on Wednesday that Adam Plutko will start Saturday's home game against the New York Yankees.

In terms of how the Indians handle the fifth spot in the rotation after this week, that has yet to be determined.

Mike Clevinger is slated to throw four or five innings with Triple-A Columbus on

golfers are using the Canadian event as a tune-up for the U.S. Open.

"This isn't just a preparation week. This is a very prestigious tournament, one of the oldest tournaments in the world that I would dearly love to be able to add my name to," said McIlroy, who has never played a competitive tournament in Canada.

"I'm fully focused on this week, but knowing that if I play well here, this week, and have good control of my ball and my distance control, that will serve me well going into next week."

One problem for Johnson, Koepka and McIlroy is that none of them had a chance to play a full practice round. Due to off-site sponsor obligations and a pro-am tournament on Monday, they played only half a round as part of a pro-am on Wednesday because of rain.

"I like the front nine. It's the only nine I've seen, but yeah, I like the golf course," said Johnson, whose brother Austin serves as his caddy. "[Austin] went out Tuesday and kind of looked at it. He's good enough now where he can get a pretty good beat on the course."

Thursday and then around 85 pitches in his next start.

After that, it's possible he could return to the rotation in Cleveland.

"Because of days off, we only need one fifth starter one day until Clev potentially comes back," Francona said.

"We don’t need to make that decision now. Depending on what shape we’re in, we could maybe have a bullpen day.

That might be a reach. Again, we don’t have to [announce] that yet."

When in the majors this season, Edwards has struggled with his command, allowing two runs on five hits and six walks in 7 ⅓ innings.

"He’s had his moments," Francona said of Edwards. "I think one of the biggest things is trying to get his confidence back.

When he came up to us last year, he was on such a roll that he just kept going.

I think now when he made the club out of spring training, all of a sudden there’s that added responsibility. It’s a little different, and I think he took a few lumps."

Goody hasn't pitched in the majors since having elbow surgery last season.

"With Goody, in the spring we saw stuff, [but] we didn’t see command," Francona said.

"He went to Triple-A, and April was really a tough month for him — I mean, really tough.

And to his credit, he’s starting to kinda now fight back and show more of being closer to who he is.”

RUBBERDUCKS REPORT

RubberDucks 2, Fightin Phils 0 The only way to one-up a good outing is to come out and do it again.

Jake Paulson blanked the Reading Fightin Phils on Wednesday and the RubberDucks relievers followed suit to give the Ducks a 2-0 win.

Paulson (4-3, 3.65) allowed three hits and struck out four in seven innings. In his

last two outings, the righthander has given up one earned run on six hits and struck out seven in 12 innings.

Wilson Garcia’s basesloaded, two-out, two-run single in the third was all the Ducks (30-27) needed. Garcia sent a grounder to second baseman Luke Williams that looked like the last out of the inning, but it hit the lip of the grass and bounced into right field.

The Indians made a roster

move, promoting Nick Sandlin (two saves, 1.56) to Columbus and bringing Rob Kaminsky (2-1, 3.48) back to the Ducks from the Clippers.

The three-game homestand concludes at 7:05 p.m.

Thursday when left-hander Sam Hentges (1-7, 4.55) squares up against Fighting Phils right-hander Ramon Rosso (3-2, 3.35).

Sheldon Richardson takes charge Browns defensive tackle says Gerald McCoy would have helped, but ‘no one's takin’ my spot’

By Steve Doerschuk The Repository GateHouse Media Ohio

BEREA — Sheldon Richardson stood in the land of great expectations making a confession.

"I haven't done anything," he said.

Be careful interpreting that.

The 28-year-old defensive tackle believes he justifies the meaty contract that lured him to Cleveland.

"I carry myself as one of the best D-linemen in the league," Richardson said before a minicamp practice.

"I feel like I am. Play like I am. I feel I'm one of the best D-linemen in the league."

What is lacking?

"I haven't made the Pro Bowl consistently," he said. "I haven't been part of a playoff run. I haven't been in a Super Bowl."

Richardson was a firstround draft pick out of Missouri in 2013. In four years with the New York Jets, they went 8-8, 4-12, 10-6 (lost a wild-card tiebreaker to the Pittsburgh Steelers) and 5-11.

Off-field issues were part of the Jets trading him to the Seattle Seahawks in 2017. He was a full-time starter for

learning the playbook on his own because he had access to it on his iPad. “I have always heard from the people that I trust that Odell is a good guy and he works his ass off,” Kitchens said. “If he does that, he’s going to be successful.”

Eyes on prize Last month, Beckham made national headlines when he told GQ Magazine, “I plan on being [in Cleveland] for the next five years and trying to bring as many championships there as possible, turning [the Browns] into the new [New England] Patriots.”

On Wednesday, Beckham shared a story to illustrate his hunger for a title. He said when he played sixth-grade basketball in New Orleans, he made a half-court shot in a championship game, but the officials didn’t count what he thought should have been a buzzer-beater.

“They called it off,” he said.

“They told me it was no good, and I remember crying that entire night. I want to win. I want to be a champion.”

The memory is related to his dream of duplicating the Patriots dynasty.

“Who wouldn’t aspire to be the Patriots?” Beckham said. “Who wouldn’t want to be an 11-5, 12-4 team, win the division, go to the AFC Championship every single year, win your division, go to the championship, go to the Super Bowl?

I don’t know why else you got in this game. I didn’t get in this game to get money or anything like that. I got in this game to be a champion.

All my life, I’ve never really been a champion.”

He’s also only been to the playoffs once in five NFL seasons — the Giants lost in the wild-card round to wrap up their 2016 season — and promised he’s willing to sacrifice individual statistics for team success.

“I’m ready to get back to the playoffs,” he said, “and show what I can do.”

a Seahawks team that went 9-7 but missed the playoffs for the first time since 2012.

Then he jumped to the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year contract in 2018, starting all 16 games for a team that went 8-7-1. Browns General Manager John Dorsey liked what he saw. So did Tosh Lupoi, who was a college coach when he recruited Richardson out of high school and became the Browns' defensive line coach in January.

The Browns signed Richardson in March to

a three-year, $37 million contract, with $21 million guaranteed.

"It's obvious based on his tape that Sheldon has the talent and capability," Lupoi said after a recent practice. "When we were evaluating free agents, Sheldon stood out. He was the individual we felt could help us.

"I couldn't be more fired up that he is part of this group.

He's taken control as a veteran and a leader. The group is feeding off of him."

Lupoi is molding a unit

featuring Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon at the ends, with Richardson at 3-technique tackle and Larry Ogunjobi at nose tackle. A bid to finish off a super group ended with Gerald McCoy opting for the Carolina Panthers.

"If [McCoy] would have come, it would have helped us," Richardson said. "If not?

We're fine with where we're at. If he would have come, it would have made it that much better, and ... no one's takin' my spot."

Richardson and McCoy both

are deemed best in a 3-technique role.

"It was probably one of the main reasons he didn't come," Richardson said.

Richardson laughed about time flying in one's NFL career.

He is the same age as Olivier, who says younger players such as Ogunjobi and Garrett look at them as "elder statesmen."

Richardson looks forward to playing alongside the emerging Ogunjobi.

"He's a workout animal," Richardson said. "As far as knowing football at an early age, he knows what he needs to do."

Browns coaches see Richardson as a do-it-all tackle, good at playing the run and rushing quarterbacks.

He is a first-rate talent on a line that has been growing a former No. 1 overall draft pick, Garrett. "[Garrett] has definitely put on film what he can do," Richardson said. "I've seen it in practice, the athleticism.

When it comes to knowing football a little bit more, I'll be on him a little bit about it. But he's definitely a great football talent."

What can Garrett and Richardson do for each other?

"If he gets there first," Richardson said, "he's pushing the quarterback into me.

If I get there first, I kick the quarterback out of the pocket to him. It's just as simple as that."

Beckham says MayieldFavre a ‘good comparison’

[JEFF LANGE/BEACON JOURNAL/OHIO.COM CORRESPONDENT]

No bad blood Although Beckham insists he’s primarily driven by his quest for a title, there are other sources of fuel. In late April, he wrote on Twitter he felt disrespected by the Giants in the aftermath of the trade, and he admitted Wednesday being shipped away by them — a development he said he could feel coming — motivates him.

“It was the rookie symposium I went to, and I remember [Hall of Fame receiver] Cris Carter telling his story about his career and all these things that happened and how he got cut and it was the best thing that happened to him,” Beckham said.

“I was like, ‘If I ever got cut or traded, not to say it’s going to be the best thing that ever happened to me, but it’s going to motivate me to be better.’

This is a business. There’s no any bad blood or anything like that. [The Giants] made a decision that was best for them. I think it’s best for me.”

Beckham’s experience with the Browns is certainly in its infancy, and he likened himself to the new kid at school. For instance, he tries to eat lunch with someone different every day as he makes friends.

Comfort is essential for Beckham. As a mega-celebrity, the attention he receives can be stressful.

“I feel like I’m in a way different position than anybody else in the NFL,” he said. “I feel like I deal with more.”

At the same time, Beckham said he feels as if he belongs with the Browns, who employ his close friend and fellow Louisiana State University product Jarvis Landry and former LSU and Giants receivers coach Adam Henry.

“Mentally, physically, spiritually, I’ve gone to a different place,” Beckham said. “For the people that know me, they know I’m in a place I’ve never been in — in my entire life — and I’m just happy with where I am.”

Browns could have youngest starting cornerback tandem in league

By Nate Ulrich

Baker Mayield isn't known for iring passes with as quite much velocity as Favre. But Mayield still has considerable zip on the ball, apparently more than Beckham is used to handling after playing the past ive seasons with New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

Beacon Journal/Ohio.com

BEREA — Odell Beckham Jr. is still in bust-carving mode.

The Browns wide receiver explained Wednesday he doesn't think he's getting carried away by comparing new teammate Baker Mayfield to Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre.

Last month, Beckham told GQ Magazine, "I would say [Mayfield is] next, but I feel like he’s now. He’s Brett Favre — he’s going to be a hall of famer."

The No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft, Mayfield had a stellar rookie season, but it's premature to guarantee his enshrinement in Canton.

"I really, really watch football, and that is a good comparison in my eyes," Beckham said of MayfieldFavre on Wednesday after the second practice of mandatory minicamp. "I loved Brett Favre growing up. Baker has a lot of similarities to him. They put the highlights together, it looks the same.

"But obviously [Mayfield is] going to have to go out and put the work in for however many years he plays and hopefully I can help him put up numbers, whatever he needs to do, win championships. But in my eyes, he has the talent to do whatever he wants to do."

Mayfield isn't known for firing passes with as quite much velocity as Favre. But Mayfield still has considerable zip on the ball, apparently more than Beckham is used to handling after playing the past five seasons with New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

"I’m going to have to get adjusted to the speed because [Mayfield] has an arm," Beckham said. "He’s throwing that ball hard. Just catching him from the first day, it was like, 'Wow! This is completely different.' It just takes time. We play in September, so it’s a good thing."

Pestering and impressing There is a good chance the Browns will have the youngest starting cornerback tandem in the league in 22-year-old Denzel Ward and 21-year-old Greedy Williams.

Ward, a No. 4 overall draft pick last year, wasn't shy about jousting big star Beckham in coverage Wednesday. In an 11-on-11 drill, Ward broke up a pass from Mayfield to Beckham along the sideline.

"If we have the competitors we think we have, we're not going to back down from any challenges," coach Freddie Kitchens said. "Denzel falls into that mode. You don't want him to be too chirpy and too grabby, because that's how injuries happen, but there's a difference between that and competing."

Beckham enjoyed the sparring.

"I personally think that he's going to be a top, top corner," Beckham said after practice. "From what I've seen, we're going to go at it every single day.

"I tell him, 'If you have any questions, anything, you come ask me.' I'm going to do the same. There's never hard feelings if we're getting grabby."

A second-round selection, Williams was the team's top pick in this year's draft. He had two interceptions Wednesday, including a pick-six off Mayfield in a two-minute drill.

"He's learning his keys," Kitchens said. "He's making some improvements. That's what we're looking for. The game, even on the outside at the corner position, is played with your feet and your eyes. He's getting better in both of those areas."

Moving on The Browns waived left tackle Desmond Harrison on Wednesday.

The move came a day

after Harrison missed the first practice of mandatory minicamp, an absence Kitchens chalked up to a missed flight. Harrison did report to team headquarters Tuesday, but he was late. The rest of the players reported Monday. Harrison also skipped at least a few organized team activity practices this spring.

Kitchens would only say this about cutting Harrison: "We just decided to move on."

Harrison, 25, signed with the Browns last year as an undrafted free agent from the University of West Georgia and started the first eight games of the season at left tackle.

He lost the job to Greg Robinson while dealing with an illness at midseason and never regained it.

Robinson, 26, performed well in the final half of the season, when the Browns allowed just five sacks and went 5-3. The franchise resigned Robinson in February to a one-year contract that has a base value of $7 million and a maximum value of $9 million.

With Harrison starting at left tackle, the Browns surrendered 33 sacks and went 2-5-1.

Everything is fine

Duke Johnson moved through practice like a carefree colt, seeming to mix well with teammates he avoided by skipping all of the team's voluntary practices.

At one point, a cluster of defensive players watching Johnson return a kickoff chanted, "Duuuuke," as he whizzed by.

A day earlier, Mayfield directed sharp comments at Johnson regarding the trade request the running back won't withdraw.

On Wednesday, Kitchens said Mayfield and Johnson are "fine."

ASTROLOGY

By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (March 21-April 19): The buzzing phone marks an upswing in popularity and reminds you to keep in touch with friends and valuable contacts. If apologies are in order, make them as soon as possible to sustain peaceful and proitable relationships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A change of plans does not necessarily mean a change of heart. An upcoming event or an unanswered question could keep you guessing.

Don’t let temporary uncertainty wreck your serenity and peace of mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sometimes the less said, the better. When there is a business agreement on the table choose your words with caution and ind win-win alternatives. You can exercise wisdom to avoid a costly misunderstanding CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your freespending ways can add up quite quickly.

Be aware that a dollar here and a dollar there could soon leave your pockets empty.

Someone may pay you compliments; enjoy them but don’t let them cover the truth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be challenged by unexpected consequences from the most innocent actions. Think before you act. The more you take time to appreciate the small blessings in your life the sooner the big ones will begin to manifest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t need a pat on the back from others every time.

Learn to validate yourself and the only reward you will ever really need is the knowledge that you have done your job well. Keep your wallet locked up securely today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you are in a rush it’s frustrating if someone else is slow.

Be patient if someone stubbornly refuses to go along with your directions or desires.

Depend upon a trusted friend to straighten out a misunderstanding or to speak on your behalf.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be enthusiastic and go along with the crowd, but don’t give too much importance to a passing lirtation. Accepting an unexpected invitation or spending time with someone new might cause unexpected complications.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Always balance business tactics with kindness.

Sometimes being in the right is not as important as being big-hearted and understanding. You can afford to be sympathetic and to forgive a transgression.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be patient; let a misunderstanding resolve itself at its own pace. You will make the most headway on the job or with a project if you listen carefully to your co-workers or a teammate and clarify details thoroughly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t force an issue to a conclusion or ind an excuse to stir up controversy. Making changes to the terms of a relationship or to your routines can be counterproductive in the long run. Keep extravagances to a minimum for now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Too much sympathy could eat into your serenity. Your energy levels could dip if you are around people who drain your emotions. Be smart about how you handle your money and it may seem like the money multiplies by itself.

6/6 IF JUNE 6 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Concentrate on social networking and developing creative ideas during the upcoming three to four weeks. Your careful maneuvering can make your career or inancial status more secure. You might see an opportunity to rest on your very comfortable laurels in July but there is a tendency to promise more than you can deliver. Additionally, you might ignore deadlines or obligations that have consequences and land you in hot water in August. Don’t mistake a passing fancy for something worthwhile in September when you are optimistic but easily distracted.

Buckle down to work in October and you will receive your rewards in December when you could enjoy a romantic interlude or take a well-deserved vacation.

Q U I C K TA K E

Sophie Turner ”Big Little Lies” Sansa spotlight: As if it wasn’t enough for Sophie Turner to be caught up in all the hype surrounding the final season of “Game of Thrones,” the British actress has since married Joe Jonas (of Jonas Brothers fame) and now stars in the latest X-Men movie, “Dark Phoenix.”

Phoenix rising: Turner is only 23.

Following eight seasons as Sansa Stark on “GOT,” she steps into her second stint as Jean Grey, aka Phoenix. She was a supporting character in “X-Men: Apocalypse” in 2016, but now takes on a lead role to guide the franchise into darker territory.

The smash HBO drama returns for a second season at 9 p.m. Sunday. The already gold-plated cast, including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley, is joined by Meryl Streep.

Cultures to be bridged Malcolm X Abram

South Asian community invites everyone to have fun at North Hill Music Festival

O

n Saturday, the North Hill neighborhood will celebrate its continuing cultural evolution

with the North Hill Music Festival.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Exchange House, a formerly empty house that has been turned into a public gathering space and cultural hostel with a goal of helping new immigrants in their transition, as well as helping to “bridge barriers between communities.”

Synergistically, the festival’s goal is to celebrate the diverse cultures of the Nepali,

Bhutanese and other South Asian immigrants who have settled in North Hill in the past decade, and reach out to the North Hill neighborhood and other area communities.

The festival will feature a cornucopia of familyfriendly things to do, see and consume, and it is the brainchild of Puspa Gajmer, founder, president and CEO of the Himalayan Arts Language & Cultural Academy at 739 N. Main St. See ABRAM, T5

come up with some new idea,” he said.

Music and dance

The school curriculum includes Nepali language classes, music classes from basic music theory on guitar and piano, to ethnic instruments such as harmonium and tabla.

There are more than 50 students of various ages and origins and the school is open to anyone who is interested in learning.

Gajmer, who spent 22 years in a Nepalese refugee camp after his family and 100,000 others were ethnically cleansed from their native Bhutan when he was 5 years old, moved to the U.S. in 2011 with his wife, Shanti.

He now has two sons, Amir, 6 and Ankit, 15 months, and is a Child Guidance & Family Solutions caseworker by day as well as a classically trained musician teaching guitar at the academy. This spring, he built a recording studio in his house.

Gajmer applied for and won a Knight grant for the festival, matched the grant amount and is now hoping to solidify the festival as an annual

Among those actualized ideas will be performances by HALCA students (including his son Amir) of both Nepalese/ Bhutanese dances and music and Western music, including a surely cute gaggle of little kids performing “My Heart Will Go On,” from “Titanic” and some Bollywood hits.

There will also be cultural dances and music from a local Korean troupe Gajmer befriended, and some African drummers.

Look for plenty of food from local restaurants, including Everest and Global Kitchen. Other activities will include yoga sessions, dramatic scenes and Tewkendo demonstrations. Also, there will be ice cream.

In addition to the cultural exchange, several city organizations such as the Akron-Summit County Public Library, Metro Parks, Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board and Child Guidance & Family Solutions and community groups will be on site to help those

“My aim and main objective is to just bridge the gap from one community to another one, from one community’s music to another. Food, all the things. These are the main things that connect people,” Gajmer said while nursing a sore throat by sipping hot lemon water at the Panera in Chapel Hill.

“Because of this festival, I’m super-duper busy. I have an aim to do something for the community. Every month let’s do something, let’s

in need, including free legal consulting and citizenship assistance.

Seniors 65 or older will receive free snacks.

“Anything they want. I don’t know if this will be covered by my grant but I have to do these extra things,” Gajmer said with a chuckle.

“A lot of our people, specifically seniors, have to stay home; they have nothing else to do and nowhere else to go and just staying all day on the sofa watching television.

Let them feel refreshed and when they come to the festival at least they can see something going on and talk to people and meet their friends and neighbors and they can taste the food and the music of different communities, so they will have lots of fun,” he said.

For Gajmer, the North Hill festival is another means to ensure the growing community remembers its roots, and the first generation of Nepalese and Bhutanese Americans don’t just “sit around staring at their phones playing Fortnite.”

It’s also intended to familiarize and connect with the city and its denizens, which he believes is happening.

“Before they didn’t

know. Where is Nepal what does Nepali mean?

Maybe it’s some kind of food or something,” he said.

“But now they’ve come to know that Nepal is here, India is there, it is in South Asia and these people are like this and they have this kind of food and this kind of music. And because of all this interrelating, every day we are learning new things from the locals and having good relations because from here we won’t go anywhere else. We are not going back to our country, so this is our country,” Gajmer said.

“I’m a citizen so I always think I should do something for this new place. I just want to imprint on this area, leave a good name behind.”

Ben Levi Ross tackles demanding title role in hit musical coming to Cleveland

By Kerry Clawson Beacon Journal/Ohio.com

W

‘Dear Evan Hansen’ game-changer for actor

The company of the first North American tour of “Dear Evan Hansen.” [MATTHEW MURPHY]

hen Ben Levi Ross was immersed in his musical theater studies as a freshman at Carnegie Mellon, the blockbuster “Dear Evan Hansen” was a musical he didn’t know a lot about. That changed dramatically the summer after his freshman year in 2017, when a fateful, unrelated audition led to what is now a skyrocketing career for the 21-year-old.

Ross, who now plays the title character in the national tour of “Dear Evan Hansen,” flew from his hometown of Los Angeles that summer to audition for director Michael Greif for the play “The Low Road” at New York’s Public Theater. Greif, who also just happened to be the director of “Dear Evan Hansen,” didn’t cast Ross in that play. But he told him he wanted him as an understudy for “Dear Evan Hansen” on Broadway.

Fast forward to Oct. 31, 2017, and Ross was making his Broadway debut, covering the young male roles of Evan Hansen, Jared Kleinman and Connor Murphy in the musical. Now he’s been on the road as the title character since the tour started in October. The tour lands at Playhouse Square’s Connor Palace in Cleveland on Tuesday and runs through June 30.

“It’s really been a game-changer.

It’s like my first professional job,” Ross said by phone from the tour in Pittsburgh. “This is maybe one of the hardest roles and jobs I’ll ever have in my life.”

As Evan, actor Ross is on stage 97 percent of the time in a very physically and emotionally taxing role.

“I feel like I can take on any job after this,” he said.

Ross was excited to return to Pittsburgh, where his college musical theater studies started, on the “Dear Evan Hansen” tour.

“My voice teacher was in the

audience on Tuesday, and last night one of my acting professors was there with a couple other people and I actually have professors coming for the next two nights as well, so it’s been really nice to see them,” he said.

The show tells the story of Evan, a lonely, socially isolated high school boy, and the elaborate ruse he perpetuates in an effort to fit in. It’s about a letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, and a relationship with a disturbed classmate that never existed.

Rolling Stone calls the show “a game-changer that hits you like a shot in the heart,” and the Washington Post calls it “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history.”

The contemporary musical is a smaller, chamber-like work that tackles the serious topic of youth mental health, including debilitating anxiety.

Ross said he sees parallels between how Evan and the character Connor deal with anxiety and depression in this story.

“I believe that both of them deal See ACTOR, T10

with both of those things.

The difference really comes from the way that Connor lashes out and becomes violent and angry with his issues, and Evan goes inward with it all” and shuts down, Ross said.

“He [Evan] ponders in ‘Waving through a Window’ why no one’s waving back at him, and ... when you’re falling in the forest and there’s nobody around, do you make a sound?” the actor said.

“The answer to a lot of those questions is he doesn’t have the ability to be social like the extroverted people around him.”

The character has an emptiness at the beginning of the show but he later begins to become hopeful about life, said Ross, who explores nightly what makes Evan’s anxiety peak and wane. In this story, which runs 2 hours and

30 minutes, Evan’s single, overworked mother isn’t present much, so he’s drawn to the Murphys, parents of the troubled Connor who has taken his own life.

Evan finds himself unwillingly giving a public speech in honor of Connor (“You Will Be Found”), and his life begins to change.

“He finds he’s getting a lot of attention for this confusion/mix up/lie that paints him as Connor’s best friend” via the aforementioned letter, Ross said.

The lyrics to the inspirational song include the words, “If you only look around, you will be found.”

“You have to reach out a hand,” Ross said of the show’s most important message.

Positive feedback After every performance, the actor receives 20 to 30 Instagram messages from audience members of all ages who say they’ve gone through something similar

to young characters Evan, Connor or Jared, or even the older parental characters.

“Especially with the kids, it’s a lot of people thanking me and thanking the cast for doing this show and portraying it truthfully because it’s helped them feel a little bit less alone and understand that there are people like them that are going through the same things,” Ross said.

From the stage, Ross sees a lot of audience members in tears with puffy faces at the end of the show.

“It just feels sort of like a group catharsis sometimes within the audiences,” he said.

Playing all three young male roles on Broadway has helped the actor understand both Evan and the other characters better.

“I feel like I now understand where everyone’s coming from,” he said.

The musical also explores both how social media can cause a devastating lie to explode and how social media can connect people for

good.

“It’s basically like you’re drenched in a world of screen,” Ross said of the futuristic-looking projections by Peter Nigrini that bring the story’s social media element to life.

“Dear Evan Hansen,” which opened in December 2016, is a cultural phenomenon. It won six 2017 Tony Awards, including best musical and best lead actor in a musical (Ben Platt, the original Evan), as well as the 2018 Grammy for best musical theater album. Its Toronto production will run until July 21, and a London production will begin previews Oct. 27.

The Broadway production, which celebrated its second anniversary in December, made a special donation of character Evan’s iconic blue polo and arm cast to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. There has also been a special synergy between the Broadway and tour casts, which came together to record the music

video “You Will Be Found” last summer (https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=OMZZTrjWxt0/).

On Valentine’s Day, “Dear Evan Hansen” also released a special new music video of “Only Us,” featuring real-life couple Ross and his boyfriend, Taylor Trensch, who played the title character on Broadway from February 2018 until late January. In the show, Evan and Zoe sing the song. In the new video, the two men sing a new arrangement of the love ballad by Alex Lacamoire. See it at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=WJkwjrFbmIs/.

“How often do you get the leads of a Broadway company and a touring company like ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ who are dating, playing the same role?” Ross asked.

PULSE | STAGE

Temporary stage to save day Kerry Clawson Construction delay forces Rubber City Theatre to move show to adjacent space

D

ue to some delays in approvals and inspections, Rubber City Theatre’s new theater space in WhiteSpace Creative’s building won’t be ready in time for the opening of the new show “TAME” on Friday.

According to Artistic Director Dane Leasure, the theater is waiting for use approval from the city of Akron before going through inspections and applying for occupancy permits in its new location on the main floor of a large, concrete-front building built in the early 1930s.

But the good news is that the show will still go on, in the bistro area of WhiteSpace Creative’s historic adjoining brick building at 243 Furnace St. The bistro area will be adapted temporarily for a thrust stage, light and sound.

The theater will lose about 20 seats for audience members in the backup space.

“It actually turned out it’s a really nice setup,’’ Leasure said of the brick wall backdrop and warm wood surroundings. “It’s really cool to still be in the same

building.”

“Shakesqueer Project: TAME” is the first phase of the theater’s Knight Arts Challenge-winning project, a world premiere play that reimagines Shakespeare through the lives of LGBTQ+ characters. Playwright Josy Jones began writing the work in April 2018 and the play had a reading in December, followed by rewrites. “TAME,” a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew’’ with an Akroncentric setting, features a cast of 10.

The show, recommended for ages 14 and older due to strong language and mature themes, will continue through June 23. Cost is $10$25. Call 234-252-0272 or see www.rubbercitytheatre.com.

Dance time Members of the Northeast Ohio dance community are proud to be hosting Dance/ USA conference for the first time in Cleveland on Wednesday through June 15.

Dance/USA is the national service organization for the professional dance world.

According to Pam Young of DanceCleveland, a Cleveland steering committee member, the conference in Northeast Ohio will have more dance performances and classes than any previous Dance/ USA conference.

A free Dance Showcase will be open to the public at 7 p.m. June 13, presented

by Playhouse Square and featuring 10 local dance companies. They are ABREPASO Flamenco/Alice Blumenfeld,

Cleveland State University Dance Program, ELEVATED, GreeneWorks Project, GroundWorks DanceTheater, Inlet Dance Theatre, Neos Dance Theatre, Shri Kalaa Mandir, Verb Ballets and special guest BalletMet of Columbus.

Reservations are required for the free event at www. playhousesquare.org.

Another free event will be a Dance Business Boot Camp from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

June 13 at Cleveland State University’s Middough Building, classroom 236, adjacent to Playhouse Square. The full-day workshop is geared toward dance-related small businesses. To register, see https://sforce. co/2Z0BtxM/.

The Knight Foundation has awarded $50,000 for 46 scholarships for dance professionals and students to attend the conference, including seven from Akron, another 23 from across Northeast Ohio and 16 others from seven additional Knight resident cities across the country. Christy Bolingbroke of the National Center for Choreography in Akron coordinated scholarship applications, which resulted in $18,500 in scholarships to Northeast Ohio participants.

For the conference’s opening night, Northeast Ohio dance luminaries will be among those recognized in an Honors Ceremony at the Cleveland History Center, an event open only to conference participants.

They are Cleveland native, dancer, choreographer

and dance-driven dramatist Dianne McIntyre, who will receive the Dance/ USA Honor Award for extraordinary leadership and exceptional contributions to the national dance field; and Terry and Sheldon Adelman of Northeast Ohio, who will receive the Dance/ USA Champion Award for their longtime support of Playhouse Square and its annual Dance Showcase.

Glenn McCoy, executive director of the San Francisco Ballet, will receive the Dance/ USA “Ernie Award” for his behind-the-scenes efforts to support dance artists’ work and creativity. This award is named after late Cleveland Ballet co-founder Ernie Horvath.

The conference will draw dance companies from across the nation, from Sarasota Ballet to Dance Theater of Harlem to the Houston Ballet, as well as companies from Canada and Europe and students from numerous universities. (See https:// danceusa.org/annualconference to register.)

The event has brought the Northeast Ohio dance leadership together for a common cause, too.

“The [dance] profile of Northeast Ohio has been rising in the national viewpoint for a while and this just is sort of the icing on the cake,’’ Young said. “I think it’s a way of not only having our community shine but to really show the diversity of our own dance community through the showcase and through the participants who will be on the ground here.”

Student achievement Trombonist Derek Gullet, who recently graduated from Lake High School, was accepted into the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia on a full-tuition scholarship. The 18-yearold made the first cut after sending a pre-screen video recording of himself playing, which landed him among the top 100 applicants for one of only two open trombonist spots at the school.

Next came live auditions, when he made it to the final 20, then down to six and finally to his winning audition. He performed Trombone Concerto

by Launy Grondahl, saying, “I felt that was the best audition of my life.”

Gullett, the son of Mandy and Chris Gullett, is a member of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra, which will travel to Vienna, Budapest, Linz and Bratislava this summer. The teen, who will start his studies at Curtis in the fall, said his ultimate goal is to play with a major U.S. professional orchestra.

The trombonist previously studied with Jim Albrecht, a former University of Akron professor who now teaches at the University of Nevada, and currently studies with Cleveland Orchestra trombonist Richard Stout.
