FBI: Man who planned hoax call, officer ambush is arrested

AKRON — A Cleveland man accused ofplanning to make a false distress call andkill any responding officers has pleadednot guilty to attempted kidnapping,according to the FBI.

Christian Stanley Ferguson, 20, madeseveral posts on social media about howhe wanted to make a false report about acrime in progress in the Cuyahoga ValleyNational Park to attract federal lawenforcement, investigators said.

Ferguson planned to kill the officers,steal their weapons and “start an upris-ing,” according to investigators. Heallegedly met with several people to dis-cuss his plan and had practice drills withan AR-15 rifle.

Ferguson also made a false distress callin a national park to gauge how soon park

rangers would respond, the FBI said. Fourofficers responded to the call, andFerguson reportedly said that if that manyresponded to the actual call, they would allbe killed.

Ferguson appeared in U.S. DistrictCourt in Akron on Tuesday. He was arrest-ed Friday.

It was unclear whether Ferguson hadan attorney who could comment on hisbehalf.

Ohio high court: Law on school‘takeovers’ is constitutional

COLUMBUS — The Ohio SupremeCourt upheld a law that changed how thestate intervenes in repeatedly poor-per-forming school districts, ruling Wednesdaythat it’s constitutional because it doesn’tusurp local school boards’ authority andmet requirements for legislative consider-ation when the changes were pushedthrough in one day in 2015.

The law shifted operational control ofsuch districts from locally elected boardsto unelected CEOs hired by state-appoint-ed academic distress commissions, start-ing with Youngstown.

The Youngstown school board andschool employees’ unionsargued that thelaw on so-called state “takeovers” uncon-stitutionally stripped school boards’power. But the court said the relevant con-stitutional provision about how schoolboards are set up doesn’t require thatthose boards get any specific power.

The school board and unions also con-tended the Republican-led Legislature vio-lated a procedural “Three Reading Rule”and skirted more thorough debate aboutsignificant changes made to the measure,House Bill 70, shortly before it was passed.

The court sided with the state, findingthat the rule was met because the bill was-n’t “vitally altered” after earlier legislativehearings and was always about the samething: creating methods to improve poor-performing schools.

CLEVELAND — BakerMayfield isn’t waitingaround for the NFL to re-open facilities.

Cleveland’s quarterbackinvited several of hisBrowns teammates, includ-ing tight end David Njokuand wide receiver RashardHiggins, to work out withhim in Texas during theCOVID-19 shutdown.

Like the rest of theleague, the Browns haven’tbeen able to conduct anyof their organized off-sea-son program because ofthe virus outbreak.

The league recently

extended virtual workoutsthrough May 29.

Mayfield is looking tobounce back after strug-gling last season, when theBrowns buckled underhuge expectations and fin-ished 6-10. Mayfield, whobroke the league rookietouchdown record in 2018,threw 22 TD passes lastseason but also 21 inter-ceptions.

Njoku and Higgins bothhad good chemistry withMayfield during his rookieseason.

First-year Browns coachKevin Stefanski has beenconducting virtual meet-ings with his new players,who are having to learn

their playbooks as well asoffensive and defensivesystems from afar.

It’s gone about as well asStefanski could have hoped.

“Players, young peopleare a resilient bunch and Ithink they learn underthese unique circum-stances,” Stefanski said. “Ithink they’re betterequipped to do this thanmaybe any other genera-tion. They’re so attuned tothe technological aspect ofthis whole thing. Ourcoaches are really attackingthis and I think there’s a lotof learning that’s going onright now. The feedbackI’ve gotten from the guys isvery positive.”

In one part of the coun-try, LSU coach Ed Orgeronsmiles and mentions a“light at the end of the tun-nel” as he discusses hisassistants’ recent return towork at football headquar-ters, and university plansto welcome players back tocampus as early as June 1.

Some 1,000 miles north atAkron, women’s tennis play-ers, along with men’s cross-country runners and golfers,learned their teams werebeing disbanded and thattheir college sports careers

would end if if they can’t findan opportunity to transfer.

Divergent headlinesranging from hopeful togrim are a reality for col-lege sports amid theCOVID-19 pandemic.

While all college athleticprograms could see rev-enues drop because ofrestrictions on gatherings inresponse to the coronvirusoutbreak, optimism is high-er in power conferences likethe SEC, where resources forcollege sports have histori-cally been more plentiful.

“We’re doing things a lit-tle differently but we’redoing them, in my opinion,the best — the model of

what the SEC and the nationshould be doing,“ LSU ath-letic director ScottWoodward said during anonline event for footballboosters Wednesday night.“We have really top concernfor our student athletes -their safety and welfare ...and both in their academicsand their physical pursuits.”

Woodward cautionedthat plans could change. Hesaid LSU was preparing towelcome back returningplayers with the Tigers’ 2019national championshipfootball team, as well asother athletes, after an SEC-mandated closure of athlet-ic facilities to students is

slated to end May 31.This is the plan even

though LSU will only offersummer classes online anddoes not have plans toreopen its campus to thegeneral student populationat least until the fall semester.

Woodward also suggest-ed that with LSU’s carefullyconsidered and “strict”social distancing and sani-tizing protocols, student-athletes could be safertraining and eating underdirect supervision of coach-es, trainers and nutritioniststhan on their own at home.

By quarantining at LSU,Woodward contends, ath-letes would be exposed to

fewer members of the pub-lic, while the school wouldbe “making sure their foodis done together, makingsure that the weight roomsare clean and immaculate.”

Colorado State footballcoach Steve Addazio calledLSU’s effort “tremendous.”

“The ability to get in anduse the facilities, once theindividual states havecleared that and openingprotocols ... I’m all for it,”Addazio said during a con-ference call Thursday. “Ihave nothing against localgyms. I think they’re great. Inthe same breath, I’d like ourkids to be in our gym. I knowwhat the protocols are for

cleanliness, and how manypeople can be in one place atone time ... and I’d feel muchgreater about that. I’m excit-ed for that. I think that’s theright thing to do.”

Florida AD ScottStrickland said his adminis-tration is working to bringback student-athletes, andin the meantime, wouldwelcome professionalsports franchises wantingtrain on campus followingFlorida Gov. DeSantis’ deci-sion Wednesday to invitepro teams to operate in thestate.

FRIDAY BELLEFONTAINE DIGITAL EDITION EXAMINER 5.15.20

SportsBY DOUG FERGUSON AP GOLF WRITER

Dustin Johnson left ThePlayers Championship twomonths ago and didn't playanother round of golf untilfour days ago, the start of acrash course for his returnto playing before a televi-sion audience.

He also owes it to hispartner, Rory McIlroy, topractice.

They play against RickieFowler and Matthew Wolffon Sunday at Seminole GolfClub in a charity skins game,the first live golf on televisionsince the opening round ofThe Players Championshipon March 12. It was canceled— along with sports world-wide — because of theCOVID-19 pandemic.

“I figured I probablyshould play a little bit ofgolf before we tee it uphere this Sunday,” Johnsonsaid on a conference callThursday. “But I'll beready. Don't you worry.”

McIlroy has been play-ing some but not reallyworking. He expects that tostart after the Sundaymatch, giving him threefull weeks of hard practiceto get ready for the PGATour's return at Colonial.

But it's more than golfthat will be on display fromSeminole, the Donald Rossdesign along the Atlantic

Ocean that has hosted thegame's best over the years,just never on TV.

Along with $4 million ormore for COVID-19 reliefefforts, this is as muchabout how golf will lookwhen it returns for real.

The players will nothave caddies and will carrytheir own bags. The advan-tage there goes to Wolff,who was still at OklahomaState this time last year andhas recent experience lug-ging his own clubs.

Social distancing isparamount.

“I think we have a bigresponsibility on ourselvesto make sure that we prac-tice all the guidelines thatthe PGA Tour is going toset in place,” Johnson said.“Obviously, everyone isgoing to be watching whatwe’re doing, so I think it’svery important for us to doit all correctly. We have aresponsibility to ourselvesand all the other players tostay safe and stay healthy.”

Bunkers will not haverakes. They won't be need-ed, anyway, not with onlyone match on the course.Just in case, a PGA Tourrules official will carry arake with him. Players willbe encouraged to putt withthe flagstick in the cup. If itneeds removed, that's thejob of another PGA Tourrules official.

Andy Levinson, thetour's senior vice presidentof tournament administra-tion, said all four playershave gone through a diag-nostic PCR test for thevirus, and there will beadditional testing, temper-ature taking and healthquestionnaires for every-

one at Seminole (a numberlikely to be around 50).

“It's a great opportunityfor us to implement similarprocedures to what we’regoing to be implementingwhen we return to compe-tition on the PGA Tour andsee how they work, albeitin a very much smaller

manner,” Levinson said.The tour was still work-

ing with Palm BeachCounty on getting anexemption from itsrequirements for golf thatinclude a ban on touchingflagsticks, using foam poolnoodles in the cup and alimitation on how early

players can arrive beforetheir tee times.

“If it turns out that we'renot comfortable going downthat road, then we'll justproceed with the noodle inthe hole,” rules officialStephen Cox said. “And thatwill give an opportunity toshow that golf at the highestlevel can be played in a funmanner. But it is our inten-tion to play golf just like wewill do at Colonial in a fewweeks’ time.”

The event is called“TaylorMade Driving Relief,”with all four players haveendorsement deals withTaylorMade. The quality ofthe golf might not be up tostandard with players com-ing off such a long break.

Most realize that will besecondary. This is a chanceto entertain, perhaps whetthe appetite for golf'sreturn.

“I feel like there hasn'tbeen very many live sports,”Wolff said. “I know UFC hasbeen back, but it’s beenreally tough. This coron-avirus has really affectedeveryone’s lives, and every-one wants to just get back toa normal, going to work orwatching sports or anythinglike that, and to be able tobring that to them whileraising money for a greatcause is what I really think isimportant. And I’m happyto be a part of it.”

“We have been receiv-ing excellent guidancefrom our state and healthcare officials, and whenthose groups believe it issafe to host college and prosporting events in Florida,

we will be prepared to doso,” Strickland said.

ACC CommissionerJohn Swofford said bring-ing athletes back to cam-pus before regular studentsis “not that out of the ordi-nary.” Football fall campstarts before classes do.

“I don’t think we’d be

bringing any student-ath-letes back probably with-out an anticipation and anexpectation that the insti-tution was going to beopening, however thatinstitution defines open-ing,” Swofford said. “Youcan’t just open the doorand everybody’s ready to

go back to campus andmove into training campand spend six weeks or sopreparing for an openinggame overnight. You’ve gotto have some lead-in timeto logistically make all ofthat work.”

O'FALLON, Mo. —Large events are slowlystarting up again inMissouri — a state morewilling than most to permitsports, concerts and showsfollowing the economicshutdown aimed at stem-ming the spread of thecoronavirus — even assome experts wonder if it’stoo soon.

A youth baseball tour-nament near St. Louis lastweekend generated nation-al attention. Musical showsthat help draw tourists toBranson are resuming.Concerts are allowed underMissouri's reopening plan,though they remain onhold.

Missouri Gov. MikeParson’s “Show Me Strong”plan allowed nonessentialbusinesses to reopen May4. The plan does requirepeople to keep their dis-

tance from each other, butit includes no prohibitionon large-scale sports andentertainment.

Epidemiologists are con-cerned because studiessuggest people can beinfected with the virus —

and spread it to others —without feeling sick.

Last weekend, about 50teams with an estimated

550 players participated ina youth baseball tourna-ment in St. Charles County,a St. Louis suburb that hasseen 679 confirmed casesof the coronavirus thatcauses COVID-19. Whileorganizers offered a longlist of rules that includedlimits on kids in the dugoutand no high-fives, the St.Louis Post-Dispatch report-ed instances where groupsof boys congregated togeth-er or coaches and playersleaned together to talk.

The tournament wasallowed under bothParson’s plan and St.Charles County’s guide-lines, county spokes-woman Mary Enger said. Itwould not be allowed inneighboring St. LouisCounty or the city of St.Louis. Both have stricterguidelines because morethan half of Missouri’s10,142 confirmed cases,and about two-thirds of thestate’s 542 deaths, have

occurred there.Alexis Duncan, an epi-

demiologist at WashingtonUniversity in St. Louis, saidthe return to some form ofnormalcy should start withlow-risk activities involvingsmall gatherings. Shebelieves it’s too early forlarger events.

“Especially sportingevents where people aredoing a lot of yelling, wherethey’re exhaling more,”Duncan said. “The moretalking and yelling that peo-ple do, the more potentialthere is that they’re expellingthe virus particles.”

In Branson, dozens ofshows and attractions arescheduled to reopen thisweekend and next.

The Duttons, featuring afamily with three genera-tions of musicians, willrestart their popular showSaturday. The 811-seat the-ater will be kept at 25%capacity to adhere to socialdistancing guidelines.

FROM AP REPORTS

For those hoping for ashot clock for high schoolbasketball, the wait willhave to continue.

On Monday, the NationalFederation of State HighSchool (NFHS) Associationannounced during itsBasketball Rules Committeemeeting back in April that aproposal for a national rulemandating a shot clock aswell as a proposal to allow ashot clock by state adoptionwere not approved.

“Information was givento the Basketball RulesCommittee that shared thevotes in individual states onhow coaches and officialsvoted in support of or non-

support of the shot clockrule,” said Theresia Wynns,NFHS director of sports andliaison to the BasketballRules Committee, in a state-ment of the NFHS website.“The conversation amongthe committee membersexplored the pros and consof enacting the proposal as arule for all states and like-wise for state adoption. Thecommittee will continue toexplore the shot clock issue.”

Jerry Snodgrass, execu-tive director of the OhioHigh School AthleticAssociation, tweeted inresponse to a questionabout when Ohio wouldenact the shot clock that itwould be up to the NFHS.

Snodgrass followed that

up with another tweetexplaining the OHSAA followsthe rules set up by the NFHS.

“Ohio does have to waituntil adoption by NFHS.Our schools believe that weshould play by a uniformset of playing rules andapprove that annually. Justfact,” tweeted Snodgrass.

Henry County coacheshad mixed feelings aboutwhether a shot clockshould be part of highschool basketball.

“I would be in favor ofone,” said Patrick Henryboys basketball coachBryan Hieber, who washired for the position inApril. “I think for me, as aformer player and now acoach, it could allow us to

do things quicker. At thehigh school level, we aredoing this for the kids andthe community. This woulddefinitely make the gamemore exciting.”

Hieber did go on to sayhe was not disappointed inthe decision not to have ashot clock and he "could goeither way.”

Napoleon girls basket-ball coach Corey Kreinbrinksaid there are good and badpoints to the shot clock.

“There are pros andcons," said Kreinbrink.“The pros are it wouldspeed up the game. Thecon would be that teamswith less talent would facea bigger disadvantage.”

There would also be

logistical issues for schoolshaving to install a shot clockin gymnasiums, accordingto Napoleon AthleticsDirector Andy Ham.

“Not only would you haveto have one in your maingym, but like for us we prac-tice in the Grand Canyon, thejunior high and elementarygymnasiums. If they wantedto simulate a game scenario,which I imagine they wouldwant to do a lot early on, youmight not have to have a per-manent clock, but a tempo-rary one.”

Ham added there wouldalso have to be anotherperson to run the shotclock during games, whichwould mean training andpaying that person.

“It would definitely be anadded expense to the athlet-ics department,” said Ham.

Jeff Ressler, a highschool basketball official,said adding another personat the scorer's table wouldpotentially make an offi-cial's job much tougher.

“I think it adds too muchfor the table to worry about,"said Ressler, who has been ahigh school basketball officialfor 10 years. “A shot clockwould be a big thing forschools to handle. You haveto train someone to knowwhat they are doing and theyhave to pay attention all thetime. To add something likethat that would change thegame is probably not a goodidea at this time.”

SportsBY RONALD BLUMAP BASEBALL WRITER

NEW YORK — Lawyersfor the baseball players’union asked Major LeagueBaseball to submit a slewof financial documents thatdetail the industry’sfinances, a person familiarwith the request told TheAssociated Press.

The person spoke oncondition of anonymityThursday because neitherside announced the step.

Baseball owners onMonday approved a pro-posal that could lead to thecoronavirus-delayed sea-son starting around theFourth of July with a regu-lar-season schedule ofabout 82 games. Ownersalso gave the go-ahead to

propose basing players’salaries on a a 50-50 rev-enue split, which the unionsays is a salary cap and aframework players willnever agree to.

The type of financialdisclosure the union askedfor is more common duringoverall collective bargain-ing talks, which play out formany months or years,rather than the limitednegotiation time availablenow.

“There’s so many ways tohide the money,” Cincinnatipitcher Trevor Bauer said ina video he postedWednesday on Twitter.

Bauer said owners couldreduce ticket prices and atthe same time charge morefor parking garages theycontrol through different

entities that do not benefitthe club.

Describing himself asbeing only slightly light-hearted, the outspoken 29-year-old took a shot at thebaseball commissioner.

“If I’m going to have totrust my salary to RobManfred marketing thegame to make more moneyfor the game, I am out onthat,” Bauer said. “Let memarket the game and we’llall make more money.”

Teams made a presen-tation to the unionTuesday that included adire financial forecast butno formal proposal.

Management fears evenmore financial difficulty ifregular-season games areplayed, causing players tobe paid their salaries, and

the postseason is canceledbecause of a second wave ofthe new coronavirus.Players do not draw salariesduring the postseason,when MLB receives thelargest portion of its nation-al broadcasting revenue.

Players are waiting toreceived detailed medicaland testing protocols fromMLB. Not willing to riskbecoming ill, Tampa BayRays All-Star pitcher BlakeSnell said he would nottake the mound this year ifhis pay is cut further.

“I’m not splitting no rev-enue. I want all mine,” the2018 AL Cy Young Awardwinner said on a Twitchstream Wednesday. “Bro,y’all got to understand, too,because y’all going to belike: ‘Bro, play for the love

of the game. Man, what’swrong with you, bro?Money should not be athing.’ Bro, I’m risking mylife. What do you mean, ‘Itshould not be a thing?’ It100% should be a thing.”

A 27-year-old left-han-der, Snell agreed in March2019 to a $50 million, five-year contract that includeda $3 million signing bonus,a $1 million salary last yearand a $7 million salary thisseason.

As part of the March 26agreement between MajorLeague Baseball and theplayers’ association, Snellis being advanced $286,500for the first 60 days of theseason through May 24 butwould not get any more in2020 if no games areplayed. The deal calls for

players to receive proratedshares of salary if the sea-son does start; Snell wouldget $43,210 for each day ofthe schedule.

Teams say they wouldlose money if games areplayed in empty ballparks.Manfred says 40% of revenueis gate and related to gate.

“If I’m going to play, Ishould be at the money Isigned to be getting paid,”Snell said. “I should not begetting half of what I’mgetting paid because theseason’s cut in half, all ontop of a 33% cut of the halfthat’s already there, so I’mreally getting like 25%. Ontop of that, it’s gettingtaxed. ... If I get the ’rona,guess what happens withthat? Oh, yeah, that stays —that’s in my body forever.”

Reds lay off lessthan 25% of staff,cut pay for others

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds are laying off lessthan 25% of their staff and reducing pay for otherson June 1 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Cincinnati made the announcement on its web-site Thursday.

The Miami Marlins will temporarily furlough 90to 100 baseball operations employees beginningJune 1, a person familiar with the decision said aday earlier. The person spoke to The AssociatedPress on condition of anonymity because theMarlins didn’t comment publicly.

Commissioner Rob Manfred cleared the way thismonth for teams to lay off or reduce the pay ofmanagers, coaches and trainers at both the majorleague and minor league levels. Full-time scouts,also are covered by Uniform Employee Contracts,could be involved in cutbacks.

Manfred’s move was a response to the seasonput on hold because of the pandemic. Cincinnatiwas among the majority of teams that committed topaying full-time employees through May. Otherteams had different pay arrangements for staff.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —NASCAR champion Kyle Busch willsprint back into competition whenthe season resumes by running allseven races that have been scheduledover an 11-day span.

Busch will drive his No. 18 JoeGibbs Toyota on Sunday when theCup Series season resumes atDarlington Raceway then again nextWednesday when the series returnsto the South Carolina track. He willalso run at Charlotte MotorSpeedway on May 24 and May 27.

In between, Busch will run for JGRin the Xfinity Series race nextTuesday at Darlington and again atCharlotte on May 25. He also will racein the Truck Series at Charlotte forKyle Busch Motorsports for a sched-uled 1,100 miles over three days.

His calendar includes all seven ofthe initial races NASCAR has resched-uled in its return from the pandemicshutdown, spokesman Bill Janitz con-firmed Thursday.

Busch was not originally sched-uled to race the truck race atCharlotte because he was ineligible as

it was designated part of a NASCARchallenge. That’s been altered andBusch can now compete.

The Xfinity Series race at Darlingtonreplaces the event at Chicago Buschwas scheduled to race this summer.The Chicago race has been canceled.

NASCAR rules limit Busch to justseven Xfinity Series and five TruckSeries appearances per season,restrictions he is unhappy with. A

year ago, Busch won all five truckraces he entered and four of theseven races in the Xfinity Series.

He also added a second Cup cham-pionship for Gibbs in a five-win season.

A truck victory at Las Vegas isBusch’s only win so far this season andhe’s ranked 12th in the Cup standings.Busch had a pair of top-five finishesthrough the first four NASCAR eventsbefore the season was suspended.
