Students areexcited for50th annualMay Fiesta

When preparing for this year’sMay Fiesta, Ashland High Schoolchoir director Kim Wolbert madesure to get across an importantmessage to her students: It’s a bigdeal.

It’s the 50th May Fiesta, afterall, and the production has enlistedthe help of past directors for theperformance. This year’s theme is“Seasons of Song” and will featuresongs from seven past directorsdating back to Cliff Hurst, the di-rector who started the production50 years ago in 1966. Hurst di-rected AHS choirs from 1955 to1984.

“It’s a big deal; we’re singingsongs they sang in high school, sothere’s pressure there,” said juniora cappella choir member EmmaDorrell.

Past directors conducting songswill be John Harris (1984-1990),Dan Fleming (1990-2000), NateDuvuvuei (2007-2013) and DennisGirton (2013-2014). Choirs alsowill perform selections with direc-tors John Guliano (2000-2003) and(2006-2007) and Ben Richard(2004 and 2005).

All AHS choirs — concert, sym-phonic, a capella, Arrow Dynamicsand Sing and Swing — rehearsed

both acts from 6 to 9 p.m. Tues-day, May 10.

While working with several di-rectors, students said they were re-peatedly reminded of the signifi-cance of this year’s performance.Symphonic choir members BlakeJohnson, Jacob Gibbs and JakeBechtel said they enjoyed workingwith Girton and his sense of hu-mor.

“It’s pretty awesome to be partof something special,” Johnsonsaid.

Sing and Swing membersand sophomores Matthew Boyd,Caleb Myers and Andrew Preziosorehearsed with Dan Fleming, whowas Wolbert’s choir director in thelate 1990s. Wolbert graduatedfrom AHS in 2000.

“He’s an awesome director and agreat musician,” Myers said. “Hetold the guys section to sing like85-year-olds and it improved oursound.”

Freshman Haley Collins’ first ex-perience with May Fiesta is some-what stressful, but she isn’t tooworried.

“I’m nervous I might mess upbut I think we’ll do well,” the con-cert choir member said.

Dorrell said there aren’t manyquick fixes needed before the finalperformance.

“(The a capella choir) is work-ing on getting in step for the pro-cessional. If we get that down, wewill be good,” Dorrell said.

Her family can’t wait to see it,too.

“I have family from England thatare excited for it,” Dorrellsaid. “I’ll pass the (May Fiesta)DVDs on to my grandpa andcousin.”

Even with added pressure, stu-dents believe the performance willgo well.

“It’s been great to rehearse. Ithink it’ll be a great May Fiesta,”Gibbs said. “Hopefully, all thehard work will pay off.”

Doors open at 6 p.m. Saturday,May 21, with the performance be-ginning at 7 p.m. General admis-sion tickets are $4 and are now onsale at the high school’s main of-fice, Irwin’s Office Supplies andHome Hardware. Tickets also willbe sold at the door on the night ofthe performance.

Medical marijuana legislation expected to be amendedBy MARC KOVACDix Capital Bureau

See Page A6 | Marijuana

COLUMBUS — State senatorscould amend legislation to legalizemedical marijuana in Ohio as earlyas today with an eye toward poten-tial final passage before their sum-mer recess.

Sen. Bill Coley (R-West Chester),chairman of the committee consid-

ering HB 523, told reporters Tues-day that a substitute bill was ex-pected during a morning hearing.

“There’s a number of items thatwe’ve been discussing,” he said.“We’re going to talk about it in cau-cus tonight, and the agreed uponitems will be in the bill.”

He declined to offer manyspecifics, though he reiterated con-cerns about potential money laun-

dering that could result from cash-only marijuana transactions.

“We’re hedging toward trans-parency and being able to have agood audit trail and tracking mech-anisms,” he said. “The banking lan-guage (in the current version of thebill) doesn’t do anything. That’s theproblem.”

Coley’s comments came after theSenate Government Oversight and

Reform Committee’s second hear-ing on HB 523, with proponentsvoicing support for the legalizationof medical marijuana but concernsabout some provisions of the legis-lation.

The bill would allow the use ofmarijuana for medicinal purposes,though under the regulation and

Trump still needs the GOPTrump still needs the GOPIt’s my party, and I’ll cry

if I want toCry if I want to, cry if I

want toYou would cry too if it

happened to youI don’t know if the late

Lesley Gore was a Republi-can or a Democrat.

But after what’s hap-pened in the past year, theRepublican National Com-mittee ought to license her1963 hit for its theme song.

I know a lot of conserva-tives who’d sing along with“It’s My Party” — manywith tears in their eyes.

As I’ve said, like it ornot, the Republican Party isno longer the Party of Lin-coln or Reagan. It’s theParty of Donald J. Trump— for the next six months,at least.

If Republicans stand theslightest chance of winningback the White House andholding on to Congress thisfall, and they still do, it’s allup to Trump.

He’s the one who spentthe past year smashing theGOP platform into splinterswith his pseudo Republicanpositions and promises.

He’s the bigmouth whothrew schoolyard insults atthe lineup of Republicanprimary losers whose helphe now desperately needs.

Trump is the only onewho can put the Party ofHumpty Dumpty back to-gether again, the only onewho can save the countryfrom four years of “CorruptHillary” and her tiresomeold man.

Trump thinks he can winthe general election with-out the help of the GOP es-tablishment or his primaryvictims, but he can’t.

Defeating the GOP’sbloated all-star team in theprimary without anyone’shelp was one thing. Win-ning the general electionwill be a lot different and alot harder.

This fall, Trump is goingto need the blood, sweatand tears of every politicianand voter in America withan “R” after his or her

name.He’s the new leader of

the Republican Party,whether he or Mitt Romneylikes it or not.

He’s got to man up, put achoke leash on his ego andbegin talking and actinglike a future president.

His first important job,which I hope started Thurs-day with his meet-up withHouse Speak Paul Ryan, isto patch up his relationswith all those fellow Repub-licans he had so much funoffending and discrediting.

Yes, Donald, that meansreaching out to “LyingTed’s” people, “LittleMarco’s” people “LazyJeb’s” people and even“Loser Mitt’s” people.

It means at least makingthe effort — in public or inprivate -- to say whateverneeds to be said to theBush family and everyoneelse to get them on boardthe 2016 Trump Train —even if they’re just passen-gers.

Ditto for Lindsay Gra-ham and everyone else inthe Never Trump campwho said they’d rather take

poison than support the bil-lionaire populist.

It’s pretty simple.Trump needs Cruz’s peo-

ple, Rubio’s people, Mitt’speople and every otherelected Republican’s peopleto show up at the polls inNovember and vote forhim.

But for that to happenTrump has to figure outhow to get humble real fast.He has to apologize andsweet talk everyone fromCruz and Rubio to GeorgeW. Bush’s favorite huntingdog. Trump’s the one whobroke the GOP. He’s theonly one who can put itback together again.

If he can’t do it soon —like yesterday — millionsof Republicans are goingstay home again this falland Hillary will start shop-ping for Supreme Court jus-tices.

Then you’ll really hearsome crying at what’s leftof my father’s party.

Public ForumShade’s compassionate approach goodShade’s compassionate approach good

A recent Public Forumletter expressed concernsabout Saturday columnistJoAnn Shade. The alarmwas that she was promoting“left-wing and social ideol-ogy in her commentaries.”

As with all things, I sup-pose it is a matter of per-spective. But I want to offerthis for consideration: Whobetter to bring to our aware-

ness societal ills and possi-ble remedies, a compassion-ate approach to ameliorat-ing these human issues,than someone who hasspent her ministerial careerand lived out her Christiancalling “in the trenches,”where these needs are mostvisible and pressing?

Since she has spent herlife representing Christ to

the voiceless and marginal-ized, maybe her observa-tions have something to sayto our complacency, politi-cal reserve and circum-scribed understandings ofChristian social witness.

However difficult it mightbe for us to hear, JoAnn,sweet grandmother, com-munity cheerleader and so-cial critic, keep those col-

umns coming. Give us somesalt as well as sugar, maybea little pepper, too.

And, for further perspec-tive, remember the words ofVictorian novelist, SamuelButler: “People are equallyhorrified by hearing theChristian faith doubted, andseeing it practiced.”

Distracted engineerDistracted engineerblamed for deadlyblamed for deadlyAmtrak wreckAmtrak wreckBy MICHAEL R. SISAKAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — TheAmtrak engineer whosespeeding train ran off therails in Philadelphia lastyear was apparently dis-tracted by word that a trainnearby had been hit by arock, federal investigatorsconcluded Tuesday, pin-ning most of the blame onhim for the wreck thatkilled eight people.

“He went, in a matter ofseconds, from distractionto disaster ,” NationalTransportat ion SafetyBoard member RobertSumwalt said.

At the same time, theNTSB said a contributingfactor was the railroad in-dustry’s decadeslong failureto fully install PositiveTrain Control, equipmentthat can automatically slowtrains that are going overthe speed limit.

Had Positive Train Con-trol been in use along thatstretch of track, “we wouldnot be here today,” saidTed Turpin, an NTSB in-vestigator.

Engineer Brandon Bos-

tian was apparently so pre-occupied by the rock-throw-ing he heard about over theradio that he lost track ofwhere he was and acceler-ated full-throttle to 106mph as he went into asharp curve with a 50 mphlimit, investigators said atan NTSB hearing to pin-point the cause of the May12, 2015, tragedy. About200 people aboard theWashington-to-New Yorktrain that night were in-jured.

Bostian, who has beensuspended without paysince the crash for speed-ing, did not attend the hear-ing. He and his lawyer didnot immediately returncalls and emails seekingcomment.

Ron Kaminkow, an Am-trak engineer who alsoserves as secretary of theindustry union consortiumRailroad Workers United,said the board’s conclusionunderscores the need to puttwo engineers on trains.

“If one buys into this the-ory, having another engi-neer or conductor would’veprevented the wreck,” hesaid.

Senate advances $1.1BSenate advances $1.1Bin Zika virus fundingin Zika virus fundingBy ANDREW TAYLORAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — TheSenate voted decisively onTuesday in favor of a bipar-tisan $1.1 billion measureto combat the Zika virusthis year and next, cuttingback President BarackObama’s request but offer-ing signif icantly moremoney to fight Zika thanwould House GOP conser-vatives.

The 68-29 vote propelledthe measure over a fili-buster and sets the stage toadd the Zika funding to anunrelated spending bill. Itcomes three months afterObama requested $1.9 bil-lion to battle the virus,which can cause severebirth defects.

“We see the people ofthis country facing a publichealth threat,” said Sen.Marco Rubio of Florida,who supports the ful lObama request. “Our re-sponse should be ‘Let’s deal

with it the way that medicalexperts are saying we needto deal with it.’ ”

A showdown looms withthe House, which is sched-uled to debate its $622 mil-lion anti-Zika measure onWednesday. The Housewould fund the Zika battlefor a shorter duration —through September — and is“offset” with spending cutselsewhere in the budget.

The Senate vote came af-ter Republicans blocked ameasure matching Obama’srequest and a f terDemocrats killed a GOP-backed proposal to cut intoObama’s health care law topay for battling Zika.

The effects of Zika arenot very severe for mostadults, but for pregnantwomen, the virus can causea serious birth defect calledmicrocephaly and other se-vere birth defects. Zika iscommonly spread by mos-quitoes and also can becontracted through sexualcontact.

Nearly half of heart attacks silentNearly half of heart attacks silentBy LINDSEY TANNERAssociated Press

CHICAGO — Almosthalf of all heart attackscause no obvious symp-toms, yet they can still belife-threatening, accordingto research on more than9,000 middle-aged men andwomen.

It’s one of the biggeststudies to examine so-called silent heart attacks,and to also explore themacross racial and gendergroups.

Researchers at WakeForest University’s medicalschool led the government-funded study. Results werepublished online Monday inthe American Heart Associ-ation’s journal, Circulation.

Middle-aged adults fromfour U.S. communitieswere enrolled: Washington

County, Maryland; subur-ban Minneapolis; Jackson,Mississippi; and ForsythCounty, North Carolina.The study’s aim was to ex-amine causes of age-relatedartery damage that can leadto heart disease. Whitesand blacks were included.

Participants had periodicclinic exams including elec-trocardiograms and phoneinterviews with the re-searchers. They were fol-lowed for about 13 years.

Overall, 45 percent ofheart attacks were thesilent kind.

Silent heart attacks werediscovered on EKGs in 317participants, or about 3 per-cent. These patients werediagnosed based on abnor-mal EKG readings suggest-ing heart damage, yetthey’d had no suspicioussymptoms.

Report: Genetically altered foodReport: Genetically altered foodis safe but not curing hungeris safe but not curing hungerBy SETH BORENSTEINAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Ge-netically manipulated foodremains generally safe forhumans and the environ-ment, a high-powered sci-ence advisory board de-clared in a report Tuesday.

The National Academies ofScience, Engineering andMedicine concluded that tin-kering with the genetics ofwhat we eat doesn’t producethe “Frankenfood” monstersome opponents claim — butit isn’t feeding the world withsubstantially increased yields,as proponents promised.

With the line between en-gineered and natural foodsblurring thanks to newer tech-niques such as gene editing,the 408-page report said, reg-ulators need to make theirsafety focus more on the end-product of the food that’smade rather than the nuts andbolts of how it’s made.

The report waltzed a bitaround the hot political issueof whether genetically modi-fied food should be labeled.The study’s authors said la-bels aren’t needed for foodsafety reasons but potentiallycould be justified because oftransparency, social and cul-tural factors.

Parents are upsetParents are upsetover mess of theirover mess of theirown makingown making

DEAR AMY: My 19-year-old son has had an is-sue his whole life: He nevercleans his room!

We started giving him anallowance when he was 10,but we didn’t give him theallowance if he didn’t do hishomework or clean hisroom. So he didn’t.

We have given him a carand the freedom to dowhatever he wants, if onlyhe would keep his roomfree of trash, but it hasn’tworked. His car is trashed,too!

We would like to sell thehouse, but his bedroomfloor is now warped and thewalls are ruined.

He has a college fund andextra money. He workspart time. He says he can’twork more hours, due toschool, but he still skipsclasses.

We’ve said he needs todecide if he wants to goaway for school and moveout next fall.

I left home when I was17. I worked full time. Ittook me 25 years to get mydegree. My husband did itwhen he was 18. We wouldprefer to support himthrough his goals. Any

ideas on how to get him torespect us enough to cleanhis room and car? — Furi-ous Mom

DEAR MOM: Let’s re-view: You chose to (essen-tially) pay your son to dohis homework and clean hisroom (things he should do,anyway). And because youtied his allowance to thesethings, his logic was, “Whybother doing homeworkand cleaning my room? Idon’t need any allowance.Because I’m 10!" You andyour husband still are treat-ing your son like he is 10,providing everything — ex-cept consequences. Nowyou are blaming him for be-ing a lazy s lob. Yourchoices as parents have cre-ated this mess. This is onyou.

Give your son the advan-tage that you had at his age— of being on his own, sup-porting himself and figur-ing things out.

No more tuition. If he isskipping classes, then heisn’t ready for college.Then he will have plenty oftime to work a 40-hourweek job, just like every-body else, and rent a roomin someone else’s house,where there might be realconsequences for damagingproperty.

If you want to be extranice, you could kick in forhis car insurance, but otherthan that, he will have toestablish his own goals, andsee what it’s like to be incharge of his own life.

And you need to let him.DEAR AMY: My hus-

band was diagnosed withStage IV cancer. Ratherthan answer constantphone calls, we chose tosend out a regular summaryvia email.

This very personal andsensitive notice was sentonly to family members andclose friends.

Imagine our horror whenwe learned that a goodfriend of ours had forwardedone of these updates to thepresident of an organizationmy husband belongs to.

She instructed them toforward it to all organiza-tion members, and they did!This friend also said shewould forward regular up-dates.

The “friend” said she didit because so many peoplein the organization careabout us. We are havinggreat difficulty getting closeto forgiveness.

Would most people forgivethis easily? Can you help usget rid of our anger and learnto forgive? — Want to For-give

DEAR WANT TOFORGIVE: Must you forgivethis person so quickly? Whatshe did was an outrageous vi-olation, and she seems tohave justified it, rather thanapologize and ask for forgive-ness.

Work on releasing youranger. Punch a pillow or two.Hold hands and breathedeeply. Your anger keeps youin a tough place, right whenyou need your strength andresilience.

Don’t give her more ofyourself than she deserves tohave.

Tell her, “We’re having atough time recovering fromthe way you chose to vio-late our privacy. We’d ap-preciate an apology.” Strikeher off all future groupcommunication. Add a codato your regular emails, say-ing, “Please do not sharethis information with oth-ers.”

Roberts-Gasche makes what she likesRoberts-Gasche makes what she likes

By CAMI BOHRERT-G Food Writer

“I always make thingsthat I really, really like,”says Lindsey Roberts-Gasche. That parameter in-cludes a peanut butter pierecipe from her grand-mother, made the old-fash-ioned way with homemadepudding.

Roberts-Gasche makesno bones about it; thehomemade aspect of thepudding requires diligenceand time. “You have to bepatient with it because ifyou put the milk on toohigh a heat, it will burn,”she said.

The peanut butter part ofthe pie comes in a smoothand creamy homemadecrumb mixture of peanutbutter and powdered sugar.“I will put the peanut buttercrumbs on the bottom ofthe pie and then I pour thehot pudding on it so thecrumbs melt,” she said.Needless to say, the out-come makes for a rich,creamy mouthful with ev-ery bite.

Roberts-Gasche’s grand-mother lives in Woosterand is a “go-to” for Roberts-Gasche when she needs arec ipe , which is howcrunchy strawberry ro-maine salad came to be in

her files. Though a self-pro-claimed non-salad fan,Roberts-Gasche finds thismixture of romaine lettuceand strawberries attractivebecause of the addedcrunch from a package oframen noodles andchopped walnuts. She alsolikes the dressing, both forits sweetness and its lighttexture. “When I have asalad, I don’t like it drip-ping in a dressing, which iswhy I like this light dress-ing,” she said. One finalcompliment remains. “It’s avery pretty salad,” Roberts-Gasche said.

A crumb componentagain attracted Roberts-Gasche to Heath Bar cof-fee cake. “What really addsto this cake is the heathbar crumbs on it,” shesaid. Otherwise, the cakebatter is on the basic side,though with the tangy ad-dition of a cup of butter-milk. “This cake is goodbecause you can make itthe night before serving

and then warm it up in theoven,” she said.

That is exactly how sheis able to bring it to earlymorning Ashland Sym-phony Orchestra boardmeetings, where it is al-ways well-received.

I t seems Roberts -Gasche’s grandmother andmother had a hand in get-ting the spaghetti casserolerecipe to Roberts-Gasche.“This reminds me of mygrandparents and parents,”she said and also noted,“When I had my daughter,my grandmother made thisfor me so I usually makethis for other people too.”

To Roberts-Gasche, therecipe is a fun-to-make dishwith a comfort-food touchfrom pasta covered in atomatoey cream of mush-room soup sauce and shred-ded cheddar cheese. Gener-a l ly , she breaks thespaghetti pasta in half. “Ilike this better than regularspaghetti because it hascream of mushroom soup,

so it is not so acidy,” shesaid.

Roberts-Gasche has plansfor her 2-year-old daughter,Reagan, to step up to thecounter with her to mixand stir the spaghetti casse-role in the not-too-distantfuture. Roberts-Gasche andher husband, Seth, are own-ers of Denbow-GascheFuneral Home and live nextdoor to their business at303 Center St. Roberts-Gasche’s community in-volvements include theAshland Main Street board,Ashland Rotary, AshlandSymphony Women’sLeague and the AshlandSymphony Orchestraboard.

FDA to re-evaluate denition of ‘healthy’FDA to re-evaluate denition of ‘healthy’Associated Press

NEW YORK — The Foodand Drug Administration willre-evaluate its definition of“healthy,” which could even-tually change how a range offoods are marketed.

In light of evolving re-search, the FDA said it be-lieves “now is an opportunetime to re-evaluate the regula-tions concerning nutritioncontent claims, generally, in-cluding the term ‘healthy.’ ”The agency plans to solicitpublic comment on the mat-ter in the near future, saidLauren Kotwicki, an FDArepresentative, in an email.

The FDA currently allowsuse of the term “healthy” onpackaging only when prod-ucts meet certain nutrient cri-teria, which largely revolvearound limited levels of fat,cholesterol and sodium. As

such, it sent a warning letterlast year to the maker of Kindfruit-and-nut bars saying thecompany’s products shouldnot be labeled as healthy be-cause of their saturated fatlevels.

Kind then sought a re-eval-uation of the term’s definitionfrom the FDA, noting the fatin its bars comes from nuts.The company noted theFDA’s rules prevent avocadosand salmon from being la-beled healthy, while allowingthe term for fat-free puddingsand sugary cereals.

After some back-and-forthon the matter, the FDA toldKind in an email last monththat it did not object to thecompany’s use of the term“healthy and tasty” on its barwrappers. The FDA saidTuesday it is allowing use ofthe phrase only framed as“corporate philosophy,”

rather than as a nutrient con-tent claim.

The FDA said that SusanMayne, director of its Centerfor Food Safety and AppliedNutrition, discussed theagency’s plans to revisit theterm “healthy” at a conferenceon food regulatory matters lastweek. The agency’s plans torevisit the term “healthy” werereported in the Wall StreetJournal on Tuesday.

Last month, the House ofRepresentatives also said in areport accompanying its agri-culture appropriations billthat it expects the FDA toamend its regulation for“healthy” claims to be basedon scientific agreement.

Any change in the regula-tion around the term couldtake years. The FDA’s finalrule on gluten-free labeling,for instance, took more thansix years to complete.

Council member JasonVanSickle was the dissent-ing vote, for which he gaveno reason.

Village administratorCurt Young advised councilmembers that the openingdate for the Loudonvilleswimming pool will beWednesday, June 1.

“We hoped to open Me-morial Day (May 30), butwe probably will not beable to complete inspectionwork on all of the work be-ing done at the pool until

after then,” Young said.Resident and former

counci l member Car lSmith, and council mem-bers Tom Young andVanSickle all complained ofyards that have been un-mowed and are becomingeyesores on South MountVernon Avenue, NorthUnion Street and EastMain Street. Police Capt.Jim Coey said the officialprocedure for unmowedlawns is to notify the prop-erty owner the lawn needsmowed, and if it is notmowed within five days,the village maintenance de-partment will mow it at acost to the property owner.

Smith also complained ofa garbage can being left onthe side of South MountVernon Avenue at a resi-

dence for several weeks,which, he said, was con-trary to village ordinance.

Stricklen and Smith, whoserves on the village ceme-tery board, expressed praisefor cemetery board memberRichard Motz, who is re-signing after 37 years of ser-vice — back to April of1979 — on the board.

In a certificate of recog-nition issued by Stricklen,the mayor sa id Motzplayed “an undeniable rolein the impeccable condi-t ion o f the ceme -tery.” Smith added: “Hehas a wealth of knowledgeof making things run withthe cemetery, and we willmiss him tremendously.”

Council also approveda request made by Syd-ney Polen to build a kickwall at the soccer fieldat the Wally Road sideof Riverside Park. Plansare to build the wall inJune.

though under the regulationand control of the state. Itcalls for a new Medical Mar-ijuana Control Commissionto develop the rules for thecultivation, processing, re-tail sale and licensure of re-lated businesses. The OhioDepartment of Commercewould have to adopt the fi-nal rules through a processthat would have to be com-pleted within two years.

Medical marijuana couldbe used only under a doc-tor’s direction. Among otherprovisions, the legislationwould prohibit home-grownmari juana, as wel l assmoked forms of the drug,though vaporization wouldbe allowed.

Additionally, HB 523specifies the medical condi-tions that would qualify formedical marijuana treat-ments, including AIDS,Crohn’s disease, multiplesclerosis, Parkinson’s dis-ease, sickle cell anemia,Tourette’s syndrome andtraumatic brain injuries.

Among other changes,

proponents of legalizationwant lawmakers to allowhome-grown supplies andsmoked versions of medicalmari juana, a long withworkplace protections toensure patients aren’t firedfrom their jobs for usingthe drug.

“As cited during discus-sion on the House floor, pa-tients would be labeled im-paired and denied unem-ployment and worker’scompensation benefits sim-ply because of a number ona chemical test , eventhough they may have paidinto the systems,” saidMary Jane Borden, presi-dent of the Ohio RightsGroup. “This is grossly un-fair, since after the enact-ment of HB 523, medicaluse of marijuana would beperfectly legal.”

But Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati), vice chairmanof the Government Over-sight and Reform Commit-tee, made it clear he wouldnot support the addition ofemployment protections formedical marijuana users.

Ohio, he said, is an at-willemployment state, and em-ployers already can fire em-

ployees for a variety of rea-sons, other than race, reli-gion, gender or other pro-tected classes.

“You have an absoluteright as a private employerto fire anybody for what-ever reason you want,” hesaid. “This business thatwe’re going to have towrite into the law someother new protection thatpeople can’t be fired for us-ing medical marijuana orany other drug ... we’re notmaking any more excep-tions to the at-will employ-ment, if I have anything tosay about it. ... Don’t counton any relief from that pro-vision…”

Coley added later, “If youare on a prescription drugand you don’t tell your em-ployer and you show up un-der the influence of the pre-scription … and it’s a safetyissue, employers have aright to discharge you fromyour duties. We’re not go-ing to put employers in aposition where they have torisk other employees.”

Coley also said he didn’texpect changes on thehome-grown or smokedmarijuana prohibitions.

‘Relaxed’ Green set for third nationals appearance‘Relaxed’ Green set for third nationals appearanceBy ANDREW HARNERT-G Sports Editor

JEROMESVILLE — Going intothe final postseason of her colle-giate career, Ashland Universitysenior women’s golfer Ali Greenwas in need of some positive mo-mentum.

After shooting the worst tworounds of her season in the twotournaments leading up to GreatLakes Intercollegiate Athletic Con-ference Championships, Greentook a more relaxed approach intothe league tournament — eventu-ally rallying for that victory andcarrying the momentum over towin the Super Region I Tourna-ment the next week and secure aspot in the Division II NCAAChampionships for the third timein her career.

“I had had a few bad tourna-ments going into GLIACs, and Iwas just like, ‘Let’s go and have

fun,’ and I honestly didn’t think Iwas going to win,” said Green,who fired rounds of plus-13 andplus-11 in her two previous events.“I went into the last day five shotsback, so there was obviously noway I was going to win, and then Istarted playing well and makingbirdies ... I felt like I couldn’t missa shot, and then got into and wonthe playoff.”

“I was definitely a lot more con-fident going into regional,” sheadded. “That new confidencehelped me in reaching my goal(making nationals) — but winningregionals was not something I hadthought of.”

Green will be teeing off today atCommonGround Golf Course inAurora, Colorado, and the eventconcludes on Saturday.

She’ll be bringing with her themomentum she gained by firingtwo rounds under par on the wayto a three-round, regional-best fin-

ish of 213. AU’s best individual fin-ish at the national tournamentcame in 2011, when Erin Mishefffinished tied for sixth with a four-day total of 296.

Green previously golfed at theNCAA Championships, when theEagles qualified as a team herfreshman and junior years. In thoseevents, Green finished tied for37th in 2015 and tied for 63rd in2013.

And while Green said it was dis-appointing the rest of team won’tbe joining her after the Eagles fin-ished fourth at the regional, herfirst time competing as an individ-ual has a legitimate chance to govery well, according to her coach.

“Any time she tees it up, she hasa chance to win — no matter whattournament it is,” said second-yearcoach Kory Oslie, who citedGreen’s confidence and steady

Young Falcons ght to nish in loss to Cuyahoga HeightsYoung Falcons ght to nish in loss to Cuyahoga Heights

MEDINA — Even thoughthe win was far out of reach,the lone senior on the Hills-dale baseball team wasn’tabout to give up on his finalseason.

Logan Allenbaugh made adiving catch in the top of theseventh inning, and alsopitched 1 1/3 innings of re-lief, but the season would ul-timately end for an otherwiseyouthful Falcons squad onTuesday in a Division IV dis-trict semifinal at MedinaHigh School.

Hillsdale committed fiveerrors and struggled to pro-duce much offense off LakeErie College-bound left-han-der Aaron Kucia , whopitched Cuyahoga Heights toa 9-3 victory with a completegame that featured eightstrikeouts and just four hitsfor the Falcons.

“When you have more er-rors than hits, you knowyou’re probably not going tohave a happy ending,” Hills-

da le coach Mike Wol fsaid. “That kid is prettygood, and we tip our cap tohim, because he’s a stud.”

Kucia and Hillsdale fresh-man Jay Luikart were lockedin a pitcher’s duel early, but itwas Cuyahoga Heights (12-10) which would breakthrough to score first, gettinga run home on an infieldbouncer in the third.

The Indians then battedaround in the fourth, addingthree more runs — a bigblow coming when twoscored on a dropped fly ballwith two outs, and anotherrun scored on an error thenext batter.

“We’ve been stressing thelast two weeks to have a bet-ter approach at the plate —put the ball in play and maketeams field the ball,” Cuya-hoga Heights coach MarcLowther said. “Early in theyear, we weren’t giving our-selves the chance to hit ingood counts.”

Hillsdale did get a run backin the bottom of the fourth,when Luikart scored on a de-

layed double-steal of homeand second, but the Cuya-hoga Heights offense wentright back to scoring in thefifth.

Back-to-back RBI bloopsingles to center helped ex-tend the lead, and anotherbloop single to left broughthome two more runs for an 8-1 lead. An error led to a ninthrun.

The Falcons once again cutinto that lead in the bottom ofthe fifth, however, getting anRBI infield chopper fromLuikart and then scoring an-other run on an error.

And while Wolf was hopinghis team could continue on inpostseason play, it’s a positivesign the Falcons amassed 17wins when starting mostly un-derclassmen against a toughschedule that featured 10 teamswhich made the district tourna-ment.

“We’re discouraged be-cause we don’t want to lose,but for this group to have 17wins means we’re moving inthe right direction,” he said.“This is kind of following the

same path as my good teamsdid in 2008 and 2009.”

“I made a vow to them thatI’d do everything I can tomake sure we get back herenext year,” Wolf added. “Ijust need them to get on thetrain with me and see whathappens.”

Kucia also played well of-fensively for the Indians,smacking two singles andwalking twice.

As a leader of a team thatreturned seven players fromits run to the regional cham-pionship game last year, Ku-cia sets the tone for the Indi-ans, who didn’t play any Divi-sion IV opponents during theregular season.

“Our kids are confidentwhen Aaron is on themound,” Lowther said. “He’sone of the better ones tocome through CuyahogaHeights, and we’ve had somegood ones.”

LEXINGTON — In a gamewhere the smallest mistakecould prove cost ly , theCrestview softball team was un-able to overcome an error inthe bottom of the sixth inningthat led to Edison earning a 1-0Division III district semifinalwin on Tuesday at LexingtonHigh School.

The Cougars also had troublelaying off the “high heat”brought by Edison pitcher EricaReber, who chalked up 14strikeouts en route to tossing aone-hitter — that coming in theform of a sharp single in thethird inning off the bat ofCrestview’s Sarah Stuart.

The win sends Edison to Fri-day’s 5 p.m. district final show-down at Lexing-ton between thewinner of today’sgame betweenColonel Crawfordand Margaretta.

CLEVELAND — LeBron James hardlymissed and scored 24 points in three quar-ters, Kyrie Irving scored 27 and the Cleve-land Cavaliers picked up where they left offbefore a long layoff by thumping the TorontoRaptors 115-84 in Game 1 of the EasternConference finals on Tuesday night.

James made his first nine shots — one anarena-rattling powerhouse dunk — and theCavs shot 67 percent from the field in thefirst half while improving to 9-0 this postsea-son. Cleveland is the first team to start theplayoffs with nine straight wins since San An-tonio reeled off 10 in a row in 2012.

But unlike their second-round series whenthey made 77 3-pointers and swept Atlanta,the Cavs did most of their damage from closerange. Cleveland made just 7 of 20 3-point at-tempts.

DeMar DeRozan scored 18 points and Bis-mack Biyombo added 12 for Toronto.

tough to lay off. It lookslike it’s going to be a strikedown the middle and justgoes up.”

Equal to the challenge ofsilencing Edison’s hitterswas Crestview senior Ma-cie Restille, who also threwa tremendous game — scat-tering five hits, striking outfive and yielding just oneunearned run.

“That girl has been atough-luck loser all year —she’s lost two 1-0 games,and both times it was un-earned runs,” Goon said.“You’ve got to give it toMacie, she’s a great com-petitor, a great kid andwe’re going to miss hertremendously next year.”

Edison scored the game’slone run in the sixth whenHaley Stoll led off with asingle to right field, thenstole second base.

She then attempted tosteal third base but

Crestview catcher RasahyGivens’ throw to the bagsailed a bit high and caromedoff the glove of Stuart atthird and past shortstop Re-nee Stimpert into left field.The speedy Stoll was able togo from third to home asCrestview left fielder SydneyMcLaughlin’s throw to theplate also sailed high.

“They’re a good team butthat’s the second time weplayed them — today andin a scrimmage game —and both times we lost 1-0on an unearned run,” Goonsaid. “We get a couple oftimely hits and maybe itwould be different. ... I toldthe girls I was proud ofthem. They’ve had a goodyear and have nothing to beashamed of.”

Haley Stoll had a pair ofsingles for Edison, and Jes-sica Stoll added a doubleand single with Marian Me-dina also singling.

“It was a good pitchingdual and (Restille) kept usoff-balance,” Keegan said. “Itlooked to me she had a slowwind-up and the ball zipped

off her hand, and we lookedlike we were late on the ballbecause of it. I thought shethrew hard and jammed usup and not too many teamshave shut us down like that.”

Crestview (13-8) has aFirelands Conference gameleft today at Monroeville, butthis was the final postseasongame for its seven seniors —Restille, Stimpert, Givens,Jenna Purvis, Maddi Godsey,Kristen Bloodhart and Sa-vannah Cline.

“ In a l l sports atCrestview, really, this hasbeen a great senior class,”Goon said. “We’re going tomiss these guys, but wehave one more game atMonroeville and I toldthem let’s go out with win.It’s not the way we wantedto go but at least we canget that last one.”

short game as keys to her recent finishes.“Just go in there and execute each shotone at a time, and whatever happens hap-pens.”

Green’s golf career started when she was inseventh grade, taking up the game after see-ing her dad spend a lot of time on the coursewith her older brother, and she eventually de-veloped into the best of the bunch — thoughshe did admit her brother, who competed atOtterbein for two seasons, occasionally cancard a lower score.

In high school, she blossomed at LatokaWest High School, making the Division Istate tournament as a junior and senior. Inher final appearance, she led after Day 1and finished in a tie for fourth.

She was recruited to AU by former coachPam Leonard, who discovered Green whileactively recruiting 2015 graduate AbbyTepe. Tepe attended Lakota East HighSchool, and she and Green shared the sameswing coach, who recommended toLeonard to recruit Green as well.

Academically, Green wrapped up herstudies in education by student-teaching atHillsdale High School this semester. Shewas focused on special-needs students, agroup she became interested in after her

deaf, wheelchair-bound friend died in ele-mentary school.

Naturally, Ashland’s highly rated educationprogram was appealing to Green, though theability to regularly compete in the NCAApostseason also lifted AU ahead of otherschools she was considering.

“That was one of the biggest deciding fac-tors, because I knew for sure I was going toregionals and there was a good chance for na-tionals,” Green said. “Some of the Division Ischools can’t promise that, so I was poten-tially getting two more tournaments than ev-erybody else.”

Without a teaching job lined up, Greenwill have a couple options available to herafter this weekend, and while she said sheintends to move back home and look for ateaching job instead of pursuing a profes-sional golf career, she admitted thoseplans could change “in a couple weeks.”

Oslie, for one, said there is “absolutely nodoubt” that Green should be competing for atime at LPGA Qualifying School events or onthe Symetra Tour, the official qualifying tourof the LPGA.

“Any-thing she puts her mind to, she willbe successful,” Oslie said. “She wants to bethe best no matter what — whether it’steaching or going on to a professional tour.”

“She has the game and ability to be suc-cessful at the next level,” he added, “and Ithink she should give herself the chance tolive her dream out.”

SHELBY — After at-tempting to play their firstmeeting of the season re-cently, the New Londonand Plymouth softballteams were suspended dueto rain.

In their first full-lengthspring meeting, the Fire-lands Conference rivalsplayed a great game in aDivision IV district semifi-nal on Tuesday at ShelbyHigh School.

The Big Red won 2-1 ina matchup which featuredmany solid defensive playsand two great pitching ef-forts.

“We showed a lot ofheart , I ’m proud o fthem,” New Londoncoach Chip Motolik said.

Plymouth got two runsin the first that proved tobe enough to win the con-test.

The first two hitters —Mallory Miller and KatieBushey — recorded sin-gles off New London’sKathy Vangilder.

It took a couple ofpassed balls/wild pitchesand a sacrifice fly by JanetArnold to put the Big Redup 2-0.

“That first inning wecould have folded, to shutout that team for the lastsix innings and hold themto a couple of base run-ners ... our defense wasoutstanding,” Motoliksaid. “They (the team) lefteverything out on thefield.”

The Wildcats (15-8) gota run back in the third,when Ashley Parr reached

on a bunt single.Vangilder took matters

into her own hands whenshe ripped an RBI doubleagainst Plymouth’s Ad-dyson Horne, making it 2-1.

In the last four innings,Vangilder held the BigRed to just two singles,and New London was ableto figure out Horne a littlebit but not enough to pushthe tying run across homeplate.

“After that first inning,I think she settled down,”Motolik said. “... From thethird inning on, she washaving fun.”

There were many gooddefensive plays by bothsides, as neither teamcommitted an error.

One of those plays wasto end the second inning,when the Wildcats’ EmilyDunlap robbed Bushey ofa single up the middle asshe grabbed the groundball and was able to tagsecond to force the runnerfrom first.

“She got to a ball that Iwasn’t sure if she could ornot, and she got there andwas (heads-up enough) tohit second (base),” Moto-lik said.

Another fine play camein the bottom of the sixthwhen Parr made the gamestay at 2-1 with a divingcatch in center field withtwo base runners aboard.

“That play Ashley madethat saved two runs,” Mo-tolik said. “That washuge.”

After the catch, theWildcats had one moreshot at tying the game, asDunlap got on base with asingle.

A sacrifice bunt by Parr

moved her to second, butHorne and the Big Redwere able to record the fi-nal two outs for the win.

Plymouth will move onto play Lucas at Shelby forthe district title on Fridayat 5 p.m.

“No I didn’t,” said Ply-mouth coach TraceyArnold about thinkingwhether two runs was go-ing to be enough for herteam to be victorious onTuesday. “However, whenwe needed to come to-gether with a stop (wedid), and Addy steppedright up and took con-trol.”

The Wildcats finishedthe contest with nine hitsand had their chances of-fensively throughout thegame, but were just notable to come up with thehit to tie the game.

“We got timely hitting,but then we didn’t,” saidMotolik after his team leftnine runners onbase. “But that’s a goodteam over there, and Ithink we proved howgood we are, (too). I can’tbe more proud of them.”

As for the upcomingschedule, the Wildcatsand Big Red will play to-day, starting with one outin the top of the fourthwith the Wildcats trailingby four runs.

The two teams will alsoplay on Thursday, withNew London trailing Ply-mouth by two games inthe league standings.
