WON FOR ALL!

Cavaliers deliver tears of joy, championship for Cleveland after rallying from 3-1 deficit in Finals
OAKLAND, CALIF.: I will cry for LeBron James, that “just a
kid from Akron” accepted the daunting challenge of ending
Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought and was able to
deliver.
I will cry for Earnest Byner and Carl Hairston, for Brian
Sipe and Bob Golic. For Omar Vizquel and Mike Hargrove and
Charles Nagy and, gulp, even Jose Mesa. For Craig Ehlo and Jim
Chones and Mark Price, even though none of them know me.
But most of all, I’ll cry for the fans in Northeast Ohio, whose blind
faith through decades of bad drafts and organizational ineptitude made
them cynical, but never too bitter to stop buying tickets.
After covering Cleveland’s professional teams since 1981,
I fear my Clinique waterproof mascara will fail me in the
catharsis that is sure to come.
Marla For the sake of professionalism, I would prefer to reach
Ridenour the sanctity of my own home before it hits, but there is no
guarantee of that.
Especially since it all seemed so perfect.

GAME 7 CAVALIERS 93, WARRIORS 89

Fans crowd
area bars for
‘history in
the making’
By Kelly Byer
GateHouse Ohio Media
PERRY TWP. Hours before the
Cleveland Cavaliers beat the
Golden State Warriors 93-89
in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, a
bartender glanced back at the TV
screen before popping a cap off a
beer.
Not long after, fans at the
Game Time Bar & Grill applauded
when the Cavs sunk their first
basket.
People turned in their seats to see
one of the 28 screens showing the
game. One hung above the table
where Lisa Miku, of Perry Town-
ship, sat with a group of friends.
She watched most of the Finals at
home, but said she wanted to “be
part of the excitement” for this one.
“It’s history in the making,”
Miku said.
It marked the Cavs’ third
appearance in the NBA Finals,
and many fans where hoping it
would result in team’s first title.
The San Antonio Spurs defeated
the Cavs in 2007, and the War-
riors defeated the Cavs in six
games last year.

championship, it’s the worst
way to feel,” he said. “I’m
holding back tears.”
The game was perhaps
the biggest — and most ex-
pensive — game ever at Or-
acle. A win would have
brought the Bay Area back-
to-back championships.
“This is probably the big-
gest game of the Golden State
Warriors,” said Keith Tur-
nage, 37, of Livermore, before
the game. “It’s going to be a
hard-fought battle. It’s going
to be all of us coming together
and playing our part.”

vato’s Hamilton neighborhood are planning a
scaled-back project.
After months of pushback from residents con-
cerned with size, traffic and environmental im-
pacts, developers are now planning a 48-acre
complex, as opposed to 55 acres, that would be
confined to federal land on the former airbase.
NHAT V. MEYER — BAY AREA NEWS GROUP
“It was an effort to strike a compromise be-
tween legitimate concerns of neighbors in the
city,” said Mike Shapiro, a member of the devel-
opment team and owner of the San Rafael Pa-
cifics baseball team. “So as we have every step
of the way, we have tried to be open and flexi-
ble to compromises to create a project that both
gives the city what it needs, in terms of addi-
tional sports and recreational facilities, but to
do it in a way that’s sensitive to the concerns of
the community.”
The new design proposal will feature four
ballfields and two or three soccer fields, Sha-
piro said.
The ballpark has been eliminated from the
new plan and no lighting will be included, he
said. The only structure on the site would be a
scaled-back training center.
The complex would stay clear of wetlands and
would be confined to federal land that was iden-
tified as suitable for recreation, Shapiro said.

Goal is to streamline

By Tommy Wright

WASHINGTON, D.C. >> Rep. Sam Farr,
D-Carmel, plans on introducing
a bipartisan, bicameral bill this
week that would make it easier for
researchers to study marijuana.
“This bill is about helping peo-
ple,” Farr said in a press release.
“As more states pass their own
medical marijuana laws, it’s time
for Congress to reexamine federal
policy. This bill does just that by
supporting research so policy de-
cisions about the role of medical
marijuana are based on science
and facts instead of rhetoric.”
Farr will introduce the bill with
Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., Rep.
Earl Blumenauer, D-Oregon, and
Rep. H. Morgan Griffith, R-Va. A
similar bill will be introduced in
the Senate by Sen. Brian Schatz,
D-Hawaii, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-
Utah, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.,
and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.
“As a physician who has con-
ducted (National Institutes of
Health) sponsored research, I
can’t stress enough how critical
this legislation is to the scientific
community,” said Harris, a for-
mer Johns Hopkins Hospital phy-
sician, in a prepared statement.

to conducting legitimate medical
research. We need empirical sci-

California’s drought has re-

But communities served by

of water entirely.
Now, a bill by a Bay Area state
lawmaker aims to slow the spread

viders by making it very difficult
to create new ones.

CHARITABLE GIVING CASE AFTERMATH

Activist asks LVHN to endow fund

Alan Jennings wants network to increase
its charitable giving through support of behavior

By Sam Kennedy
Of The Morning Call
The legal inquiry into Lehigh
Valley Health Network’s charita-
ble giving may be over, but a
prominent community activist is
still hoping to persuade the net-
work to redirect more of its
surplus revenues to charity.
Citing an “abject inadequacy”
of behavior health services nation-

failure of historic scale,” Alan
Jennings has called upon LVHN
to use its profit to help to create a
$40 million fund which, in turn,
could support local efforts to assist
those with psychological prob-
lems.
Jennings, head of the nonprofit
Community Action Committee of
the Lehigh Valley, said his propos-
al was inspired by information
that came to light during a just-
concluded court case.
Last year, retired Lehigh
County Judge Robert Young of
Upper Milford Township sub-

Court, urging it to fulfill its
long-standing obligation to review Alan Jennings,

JOY FOR JOHNSON, CLEVELAND

CHARLIE RIEDEL/AP MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ/AP

One year after his gut-wrenching three-putt on the final hole to finish second in the 2015 U.S. Open, Dustin Johnson, left, shot a final round 69 Sunday at Oakmont to claim this year’s
U.S. Open, his first major championship. Later in the day, LeBron James (holding championship trophy) and his Cavaliers teammates ended Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought
by beating the Golden State Warriors 93-89 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. With tears in his eyes, James celebrated the championship he sought when he returned to Cleveland two years
ago. It was the first time an NBA team has come back from a three-games-to-one deficit to win the title.

James delivered on a promise from two years

by beating the defending champion Golden

James almost single-handedly carried the
Cavs back into this series and finished with
27 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as the

sports winner since the Browns won the NFL

Fire investigators on Sunday methodically
poked through the smoldering remains of six
buildings on the edge of San Francisco’s Ber-
nal Heights neighborhood that were gutted
over the weekend by a huge fire that left 58
people without homes.
The team of inspectors hoped to pinpoint
the origin, path and cause of the fire that
kicked up into the unwieldy inferno Saturday
afternoon and took firefighters almost four
hours to get under control. Remarkably, no
one was killed and only three people suffered
minor injuries from smoke inhalation.

OAKLAND >> A season of break-
ing record after record ended
in heartbreak for the Golden
State Warriors Sunday — dev-
astating fans in a Game 7 for
the ages.
Silence fell over Oracle
Arena, as the Cleveland Cava-
liers did the impossible. With
a 93-89 victory, they became
the first team to come back
from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA
Finals and the first pro sports
team to bring a championship
home to the Rust Belt city since
1964. After the game, children
were seen weeping outside the
arena.
“At the end, they made shots
and we missed shots,” said fan
John Winer, of Berkeley, out-
side of the arena. “I feel ter-
rible.”
Jewel Burrell, who flew from
Houston to attend the game, is
a Warriors fan but was happy
for Cleveland.
“They haven’t won in a
while,” she said.
Lifelong Warriors fan and
Oakland native Nico Dorado
said he felt “deflated.”
“We broke every record in

season and then to lose the

Senate bill would

7,500-plus systems
By Paul Rogers
progers@bayareanewsgroup.com
California’s drought has re-
vealed that when it comes to wa-
ter, not every community is equal.
Large urban areas, from the
Bay Area to Los Angeles, asked
residents to conserve, raised
rates to buy water from other
places and generally have got-
ten by without much inconve-
nience, other than brown lawns
and shorter showers.
But communities served by
smaller systems, from farm towns
to forest hamlets — often lack-
ing money, expertise and mod-
ern equipment — have struggled
and, in some cases, nearly run out
of water entirely.
Now, a bill by a Bay Area state
lawmaker aims to slow the spread
of little “mom and pop” water pro-
viders by making it very difficult
to create new ones.
The problem, says state Sen.
Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont, is
that California has 7,642 water
systems. Some serve only camp-
grounds, prisons or schools. Of
the ones in communities with
full-time residents, 63 percent
have 200 or fewer connections.
Many have no permanent em-
ployees. Some own only one well

The Associated Press
NEW YORK >> Look anywhere in
this nation born of a bloody rev-

likely to find sharp disagreement
over guns.
Democrats war with Repub-
licans; small towns are pitted

“The current gun debate is
more polarized and sour than any
time before in American history,”
said Adam Winkler, a constitu-

author of the 2011 book, “Gun-
fight: The Battle Over the Right
to Bear Arms in America.”
Still numb from the latest mass
shooting, in Orlando, it’s easy to
imagine that guns have always di-
vided us this way. But a close look
at survey data over decades shows
they haven’t.

Game 7
thriller
Associated Press
OAKLAND, CALIF.
LeBron James and his re-
lentless, never-count-them-
out Cavaliers pulled off an
improbable NBA Fina ls
comeback, and Cleveland is
title town again at long last.
Ja mes del ivered on a
promise from two years ago
to bring a championship to
his native Northeast Ohio,
and he and the Cavs became
the first team to rally from
a 3-1 finals deficit by beat-
ing the defending champion
Golden State Warriors 93-89
on Sunday night to end a 52-
year major sports champion-
ship drought in Cleveland.
James almost single-hand-
edly carried the Cavs back
into this series and finished
with 27 points, 11 assists
and 11 rebounds as the Cavs
captured their first champi-
onship in franchise history
and gave their city its first
major sports winner since
the Browns won the NFL title
in 1964.
“CLEVELAND! This is for
you!” James bellowed in his
postgame interview before
being announced as the NBA
Finals MVP.
An emotional James fell to
the floor when this one ended
with a second win in six days
on Golden State’s imposing
home floor, surrounded by
his teammates. Only sec-
onds earlier, he went down
in pain with 10.6 seconds left
after being fouled by Dray-
mond Green while going for
a dunk, then came back out
to make the second of two
free throws.
Kyrie Irving scored 26
points to cap his brilliant fi-
nals, including a 3-pointer
over MVP Stephen Curry
with 53 seconds left.
