registerviewpoint Vote, by mail Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s decision last month to stop in-person voting on March 17, and extending the primary to end April 28 with mail-in voting was the right call, and it was a courageous decision. We appreciate that kind of leadership and give the governor credit for his steely resolve making the call the way he did. DeWine kiboshed election day voting just days before it was to happen, guided we believe, by his understanding that protecting Ohioans was more important than allowing the election to happen unchanged. DeWine gets it. He listened to Ohio Department of Health director Dr. Amy Acton, who said holding in-person elections was a public health risk, and together they closed down polling places. It was the right thing to do. As messy as it was to extend the voting period, Ohioans your will still get the chance to vote and they will not have to potential of risking their personal health and the health of family members — a life or death decision for many — in order to do ¢ it.

From wire reports CLEARWATER, FLA. Fan sues Woods, caddie, claiming he was pushed A Florida man has filed a lawsuit against Tiger Woods and his caddie, claiming he suffered injuries from the caddie pushing him out of the way during the Valspar Championship that Woods played two years ago. The civil complaint, filed Tuesday in Pinellas County, alleges Brian Borruso tried to take a selfie as Woods approached his tee shot left of the 13th green in the third round at Innisbrook, and that Joe LaCava “intentionally shoved” Borruso and caused him to stumble and fall into the crowd. Josh Drechsel, the lawyer representing Borruso, said the lawsuit was filed two years after the tournament to get a better understanding of the injuries, which were described in the suit as “either permanent or continuing.” Drechsel issued a public plea for evidence from fans who might have been at the 13th green that day and witnessed the incident. One video Dreshsel has shows LaCava approaching the fans with his left arm extended saying, “You’ve got to back it up.” Drechsel says he wants to find the fans who could be heard on another video. One says, “I love Tiger, but I don’t like him,” and another voice is heard saying, “He just pushed him. He just shoved him right out of there.” The lawsuit says Borruso went to the hospital Register photo/BRIAN KOLLARS to be treated for his injuries.
