A 15 minute executive session with Paul Reed, president of Farmers Bank, yielded a vote that allowed the bank to widen the turn lane and drive through at the Middleport location were the bank will be opening an ATM. While still addressing road conditions, the council moved to end street parking in two locations, hoping to improve visibility, safety, and trafﬁc ﬂow: Cole Street between North Second Avenue and North First Avenue on the downriver side, and Mill Street between North Second Avenue and the alley near the “T.” The locations will have their curbs painted yellow. The council also asked the police department to step up enforcement of curbside parking violations in those areas that damage the newly built sidewalks. Ordinance 108-17 was passed, which approved and adopted 2017’s Codiﬁed Ordinances. Villages are required by law to publish ordinances, which grow in number each year and are often dependent on state laws, which also increase and change steadily. Middleport contracts a professional codiﬁcation company to update the village’s new ordinances, incorporate changes from the state level, deliver physical copies of changes, and host online the complete set of local laws. Council approved $5,306.13 for this service, and passed Ordinance 108-17 which in turn adopted all the enclosed changes. Department heads gave brief reports, followed by the Mayor. Jail Administrator and Assistant Chief Monty Wood discussed plans to bring an ofﬁcer from part time to full time employment. Fiscal Ofﬁcer Sue Baker said during discussion of the ﬁnancial feasibility of the move, “I expect it to break even or even save money,” because of the inherent difﬁculties around the clock scheduling with part-time employees. Administrator Joe Woodall sought and was given permission to adjust the senior center’s water meter size to save the center from a $500 minimum bill. Building Inspector Mike Hendrickson reported progress on demolition of the old Humane Society building.

BUCKEYE STATE NEWS Columbus passes ban on using conversion therapy for minors COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ofﬁcials in Columbus have voted to ban conversion therapy for minors in the city. The Columbus City Council voted to ban the practice in a meeting Monday night. Conversion therapy is any practice that seeks to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Professionals in the medical community say the practice is illegitimate and doesn’t work. LGBTQ rights groups within the city worked with Equality Ohio and other civil rights organizations to ensure the law was passed. Columbus follows other cities like Cincinnati and Toledo that have already passed similar ordinances. Gang member in murder, racketeering case sentenced COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Federal prosecutors who pursued cases against 20 members of a central Ohio gang have wrapped up that work with the remaining defendant’s sentencing. Thirty-six-year-old Lance Green was sentenced Monday in Columbus for a fatal shooting in 2005 and paying for a second killing in 2006. Authorities say he pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and murder in aid of racketeering. He was the last of 19 Short North Posse members sentenced. Another was prosecuted, but died before trial. Prosecutors alleged Green led a hit squad and shot a woman while intending to kill a member of a rival gang. A message seeking comment was left for Green’s attorney. The Columbus Dispatch reports the judge noted Green had a stable life and couldn’t use dysfunction at home as an excuse. Kasich to return to New Hampshire in April to promote book MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sihk) is returning to New Hampshire in April to promote his new book on the road ahead for America. A Kasich spokesman says the governor will speak at Saint Anselm College on April 27, two days after “Two Paths: America Divided or United” is published. Kasich took second place in the Republicans’ 2016 New Hampshire presidential primary and became a strong critic of Republican President Donald Trump. His return to New Hampshire makes him the ﬁrst major Republican to visit the key primary state following the November election. Kasich has said he doesn’t see himself running for president again. He’s still viewed as a chief Trump adversary and possible 2020 contender. He was last in New Hampshire in August to campaign for now-Republican Gov. Chris Sununu (sooNOO’-noo). Lawyer says Trump administration moved to squelch testimony By Eileen Sullivan and Eric Tucker without written approval. “We believe that the Associated Press Department’s position in this regard is overbroad, incorWASHINGTON — A rect, and inconsistent with lawyer for former deputy the Department’s historical Attorney General Sally Yates approach to the congreswrote in letters last week sional testimony of current that the Trump administraand former senior ofﬁcials,” tion was trying to limit her O’Neil wrote in a March 23 testimony at congressional letter to Justice Department hearings focused on Russian ofﬁcial Samuel Ramer. meddling in the 2016 presiThe White House said dential election.

As a ﬁnal matter, Wednesday, March 29, 2017 3 Club operator denies security bypass allowed before shooting CINCINNATI (AP) — A Cincinnati nightclub operator denies that some patrons were allowed to bypass security checks that included metal-detection wands before a gunbattle erupted, killing one man and injuring 16 other people. Julian “Jay” Rodgers rejected claims that people could pay to avoid the long line to get into the club without being checked. Police estimate 200 people were inside early Sunday when a dispute escalated into a gunﬁght in which more than 20 shots were ﬁred by an unknown number of shooters in the popular club near the Ohio River east of downtown Cincinnati. “There have been untrue reports that certain patrons were allowed to enter the club without passing through security,” Rodgers, a veteran operator of Cincinnati-area entertainment venues, said in a statement late Monday. “This was not permitted.” Rodgers said two of four privately paid uniformed Cincinnati police ofﬁcers there had a clear view of security procedures and helped “with the ﬂow of the lines.” Police Chief Eliot Isaac has emphasized that the ofﬁcers working off-duty security details remained outside before the shooting and that the club was responsible for its inside security. Isaac said he was aware of reports of a security bypass line, but police hadn’t conﬁrmed that. No club security footage of the shooting has emerged. Police declined to comment on whether they had identiﬁed any possible suspects, but Isaac said they were making progress in their investigation. No arrests have yet been made. One of the wounded patrons, Angel Higgins, told WCPO-TV she thought it was likely people were getting in without security checks. She said security just looked at her ID and let her in. The mother of ﬁve described a chaotic scene in which people were frantically crawling over one another to reach the exits. She said her one thought was: I can’t die in this club. “All I was thinking about was my kids,” Higgins said. “Am I going to make it up out of here?” Higgins said she felt one bullet ﬂy past her face. Soon after, another struck her in the leg and she collapsed. She stumbled out of the club and then drove herself to a hospital. Police and ﬁreﬁghters used ambulances for those victims who were more seriously injured. Two of the injured remained in critical condition Tuesday, and three were in stable condition. The Hamilton County coroner’s ofﬁce said Tuesday that O’Bryan Spikes, the 27-year-old man killed in the shooting, died from a single gunshot to the chest. WLWT-TV reported plans for a Tuesday evening prayer vigil for Spikes and other shooting victims at the Cameo site. Rodgers said Cameo had planned to move out in May because of the landlord’s planned sale of the property but will instead close its door for good Friday. He earlier voluntarily surrendered its liquor license. City ofﬁcials said Cameo had been the scene of past violence, including a shooting inside the club on New Year’s Day in 2015 and one in the parking lot in September of that year. Ohio liquor agents said the club was cited for drug use and drug possession violations after an inspection following Sunday’s shooting. Agents reported ﬁnding marijuana in plain view along with partially smoked marijuana in an employeeonly section. Adam Johnson of the Ohio Investigative Unit said Monday the club was cited once before, in 2015, for drug abuse. Trump tosses Obama’s ‘clean’ energy plan, embraces coal By Matthew Daly and Jill Colvin Associated Press WASHINGTON — Declaring “the start of a new era” in energy production, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that he said would revive the coal industry and create jobs. The move makes good on his campaign pledge to unravel former President Barack Obama’s plan to curb global warming. The order seeks to suspend, rescind or ﬂag for review more than a half-dozen measures in an effort to boost domestic energy production in the form of fossil fuels. Environmental activists, including former Vice President Al Gore, denounced the plan. But Trump said the effort would allow workers to “succeed on a level playing ﬁeld for the ﬁrst time in a long time.” “That is what this is all about: bringing back our jobs, bringing back our dreams and making America wealthy again,” Trump said, during a ceremony at the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters, attended by a number of coal miners. The order initiates a review of the Clean Power Plan, which restricts greenhouse gas emissions at coal-ﬁred power plants. The regulation, which was the former president’s signature effort to curb carbon emissions, Councilpersons Emerson Heighton and George Hoffman reported on their discussions with Salisbury Township representatives concerning ﬁre protection. In previous years, Middleport and Pome- has been the subject of long-running legal challenges by Republican-led states and those who proﬁt from burning oil, coal and gas. But just as Obama’s climate efforts were often stymied by legal challenges, environmental groups are promising to ﬁght Trump’s pro-fossil fuel agenda in court. Trump has called global warming a “hoax” invented by the Chinese, and has repeatedly criticized the power-plant rule as an attack on American workers and the struggling U.S. coal industry. In addition to pulling back from the Clean Power Plan, the administration will also lift a 14-month-old moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands. The Obama administration had imposed a three-year moratorium on new federal coal leases in January 2016, arguing that the $1 billion-a-year program must be modernized to ensure a fair ﬁnancial return to taxpayers and address climate change. Trump accused his predecessor of waging a “war on coal” and boasted in a speech to Congress that he has made “a historic effort to massively reduce job-crushing regulations,” including some that threaten “the future and livelihoods of our great coal miners.” The order will also chip away at other regulations, including scrapping lan- roy Fire Departments have provided service to Salisbury with limited compensation and Middleport has recently indicated a need for the township to assume a greater share of the costs. guage on the “social cost” of greenhouse gases. It will initiate a review of efforts to reduce the emission of methane in oil and natural gas production as well as a Bureau of Land Management hydraulic fracturing rule, to determine whether those reﬂect the president’s policy priorities. It will also rescind Obama-era executive orders and memoranda, including one that addressed climate change and national security and one that sought to prepare the country for the impacts of climate change. The administration is still in discussion about whether it intends to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change. Trump’s order could make it more difﬁcult, though not impossible, for the U.S. to achieve its carbon reduction goals. The president’s promises to boost coal jobs run counter to market forces, such as U.S. utilities converting coal-ﬁred power plants to cheaper, cleanerburning natural gas. Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency chief, Scott Pruitt, alarmed environmental groups and scientists earlier this month when he said he does not believe carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming. The statement is at odds with mainstream scientiﬁc consensus and Pruitt’s own agency. The next regularly scheduled meeting of Middleport Village Council is April 10 at 7 p.m. in the Middleport Municipal Building.

Leubsdorf Contributing columnist The roots of last week’s Trump-Ryan health-care debacle lie in the resistance to compromise that Republicans have displayed over the years. And it could happen again if President Donald Trump relies only on Republicans to pass his legislative initiatives. The House GOP’s failure to unite behind the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare reﬂected the crucial difference between its rank-and-ﬁle and that of the Democrats. When asked in polls if they favored ofﬁcials who stood by their principles or those willing to compromise, Republicans inevitably said they prefer the former and Democrats the latter. For example, an October 2015 Associated Press-GFK poll, taken during a budget showdown between President Barack Obama’sWhite House and congressional Republicans, showed Democrats by 3-to-1 said they wanted their leaders to compromise. But Republicans by 4-to-3 favored leaders who stick to their principles, even if it makes passing legislation more difﬁcult. Exemplifying that contrast is the way the Democrats, when holding the presidency and the Congress in 2009, were able to surmount internal differences over rival health approaches and coalesce to support the Affordable Care Act. But when Republicans faced a comparable circumstance in trying to “repeal and replace” that law, their leaders failed to reconcile differences between the purists in the Freedom Caucus, who wanted to scrap it totally, and more moderate members who feared the impact on their constituents. To be sure, part of the problem was ﬂawed legislation. But that kind of thing could be ﬁxed later in the legislative process, if House Republicans had been willing to take the necessary ﬁrst step. Typically, Trump sought to deﬂect responsibility, blaming the Democrats and predicting, “I honestly believe the Democrats will come to us” to craft a solution. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer promptly said he could do that, but partisan disagreements will make substantive compromises very difﬁcult. Besides, the Democrats succeeded in 2009-10 without any Republican support, in part because of a bigger Senate majority, but primarily because President Barack Obama and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi did the hard work to bring their party together. Trump’s White House also blamed House Speaker Paul Ryan. But Ryan showed a far more realistic understanding of the problem than the president did, conceding the GOP has yet to show it can go from an opposition party to a governing party. The choice, Ryan said Friday, comes down to this: “Are all of us willing to give a little to get something done? Are we willing to say ‘yes’ to the good, to the very good, even if it’s not the perfect?” His words echoed the attitude President Ronald Reagan instilled in the GOP a generation ago by arguing: “If you got 75 or 80 percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and ﬁght for the rest later.” And at least one House Republican, Texas Rep. Ted Poe, said he was quitting the Freedom Caucus. Reagan was a popular leader who not only could make the broad case for his proposals but also display ﬂexibility. Trump is less popular and has yet to show that ability. According to Politico’s Tim Alberta, he turned off Freedom Caucus members by telling them: “Forget about the little (expletive). Let’s focus on the big picture here.” But it was the little details lawmakers wanted to discuss, and Trump’s lack of knowledge turned him into a cheerleader, rather than an effective negotiator. Besides, his refusal to reach beyond his own base restricted his ability to persuade. One thing that made Reagan effective was he built personal bridges to Democrats, including some who disagreed with him. Afterward, the White House said it hopes this will clear the way for other parts of Trump’s agenda, especially tax reform. But Ryan conceded, “This does make tax reform more difﬁcult.” The complexity of the tax code and the contradictory goals of different economic interests explain why it’s been 30 years since Congress reformed the tax laws. And GOP leaders must overcome sharp divisions on crucial issues, like the proposal for an import tax to help ﬁnance cuts for business and wealthy taxpayers. Though Trump said he learned a lot, his reaction suggests he doesn’t really understand the degree that the internecine relationships within the House GOP reﬂect the attitudes of Republicans as a whole. And even before Congress can consider a tax bill, Republicans face another test when federal funding for the government runs out next month and they may have to overcome the same internal split that killed the health bill.

Quigley Contributing columnist A president with business acumen should understand that throwing more money at an already over-budgeted asset isn’t wise. Yet President Trump recently unveiled a federal budget blueprint that seeks “one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history.” The ﬁscal plan, when read with an understanding of what other countries spend on their militaries, fails to make a convincing case for increasing what’s an already massive expense — in our case, nearly $600 billion a year. China spends about $150 billion a year, but our contentions with China are mainly in the economic realm. Russia, unlikely to send its military far from home, spends $60 billion a year and has been cutting back. North Korea, for all its missile-rattling, is small potatoes. Trump’s budget justiﬁes the spending hike by describing the military as being saddled with “aging ships, planes, and other vehicles” in need of replacement. But the document avoids the realities of how much such materiel cost. Earlier this month, Trump assembled a Navy audience aboard the new USS Gerald R. Ford, a mammoth aircraft carrier that has given the term “cost overrun” new meaning. Price tag: $13 billion. Standing on its deck, he told the cheering sailors: “We’re going to soon have more coming.” He did not mention that war games have shown gigantic aircraft carriers to be highly susceptible to today’s sophisticated anti-ship weapons or that we rely on such ships far more heavily than any other country. And while Trump has done his share to pressure military contractors to keep their costs under control, the real question is whether such ﬁrms should be building these behemoths in the ﬁrst place. The budget’s stated goal of deterring war cannot be accomplished without strong diplomacy, yet the plan virtually guts the State Department, whose new chief, Rex Tillerson, seems content overseeing the drastic downsizing. Trump is enamored of nuclear weapons but has not explained what a modernized nuclear force would look like or what purpose it would serve. We are well beyond the Cold War strategy of mutually assured destruction, premised on the hope that neither we nor the Soviet Union would strike ﬁrst. Trump’s desired spending increase could perhaps be justiﬁed as a Depression-era-like measure to create jobs. But instead of spending more on a well-equipped military, we should direct those dollars toward another signature Trump aim: salvaging our crum- be the ﬁrst to reach the South Pole, wrote the last words of his journal: “For Gods sake look after our people.” In 1936, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler claimed overwhelming victory in a plebiscite on his policies.

The budget explains that the increase in military spending will be balanced by cuts in other programs, many of them domestic. Nancy Pelosi, who leads the Democrats in the House of Representatives, says that the projected boost in military spending would cause “far-reaching and longlasting damage to our ability to meet the needs of the American people.” Trump was pressured by critics to stop being a businessman when he took the oath of ofﬁce. Maybe those critics were wrong. Maybe he needs to put his business hat back on. John B. Quigley is a distinguished professor of law at the Ohio State University.

By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A Vinton man pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday to nine first-degree felony charges of rape and three third-degree felonies of gross sexual imposition, in the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas. Vernon Taylor, 33, is charged with the felony rapes and gross sexual imposition of two unnamed minors under the age of 13, according to Gallia Clerk of Court files. According to Gallia County Sheriff Matt Champlin, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is overseeing the investigation of the case. Taylor was reportedly arrested Friday. The rape crimes reportedly happened between Taylor March 8, 2015 and November 30, 2015 with sexual imposition charges posed for alleged incidents between February 20, 2015 and February 22, 2015. The court set bond for Taylor at $500,000 with a 10 percent surety. As part of bond conditions, Taylor shall participate in mental health assessments, have no contact with females under the age of 18, nor individuals listed as the two unnamed minors, and attend all pretrial conferences. A final pretrial for Taylor is scheduled May 22 at 10:30 a.m. before a jury trial is scheduled June 12 at 9 a.m. An alleged offender must have engaged in sexual conduct with a victim for an offense to be considered rape. Gross sexual imposition is generally considered to be unwanted sexual touching.

That’s because the Marauders, by breaking a scoreless tie with the game’s only runs in the ﬁnal inning, mustered a 2-0 non-league baseball win over Jackson on Monday — at Haller Field in Jackson. Meigs sent eight batters to the plate in the seventh inning — and combined two walks, two hits, a passed ball and an Ironmen error for its two runs. Meigs junior Christian Mattox, meanwhile, allowed only four hits in pitching a complete-game shutout —striking out 10 and facing four batters or less in ﬁve of the seven stanzas. With the win, the Marauders are now 2-0 — with a pair of non-league shutouts. On Saturday, the Maroon and Gold blanked Southern by an 8-0 count. Jackson, conversely, fell to 0-2 — as it suffered a 2-0 loss on Saturday against Circleville. For Meigs, its most recent triumph in Jackson was the Division II sectional semiﬁnal two years ago, which propelled the Marauders to the 2015 district championship. On Monday, the win could be just a jumpstart to another strong season. As part of Mattox’s 10 Ks, he whiffed two Ironmen apiece in the ﬁrst, third, ﬁfth and sixth stanzas. He threw 101 pitches — only ﬁve fewer than his Jackson counterpart Jared Lemaster. Lemaster mustered six and one-thirds innings pitched, as he allowed the two seventh-inning runs —in addition to six hits and six walks. Mattox also escaped some potential jams, as Kendall Neal walked and Billy Cooper singled in the ﬁrst with two outs. But Mattox notched a strikeout to end the inning, as the only other hits he gave up were singles to Neal in the third, Brent Lewis in the ﬁfth and Bryce Hall in the last.

Eagles soar past Belpre, 10-0 in season opener By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — You simply couldn’t ask for a better way to start the season. The Eastern baseball team started the its 2017 campaign on the right foot in Meigs County on Monday night, as the host Eagles claimed a 10-0 mercy rule victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Belpre. Eastern (1-0, 1-0 TVC Hocking) — which held Belpre (0-3, 0-2) to just three hits in the contest — scored the game’s opening run in the bottom of the ﬁrst inning, as senior John Little singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, stole third base and then scored on a throwing error. With one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the second inning, freshman Colton Reynolds singled home both Nate Durst and Ethen Richmond. Back-to-back walks brought Kaleb Honaker home and made the EHS lead 4-0. Still with one out and the bases loaded in the second, Austin Coleman singled home Reynolds and Little, pushing the EHS lead to 6-0. With two outs in the second, Durst — who led off the frame — singled home both Coleman and Owen Arix, making the EHS lead 8-0. Eastern was held scoreless in the third inning, but with one-out in the Eastern's Nate Durst throws to first base for a 4-to-3 ground out. bottom of the fourth frame, Coleman scored on a double steal. In the same at-bat, Durst doubled home Kaleb Hill to put the hosts up 10-0. The Golden Eagles went away in order in the top of the ﬁfth and Eastern claimed the 10-0 mercy rule win. “We’ve been practicing for a long time, practicing hard, working on all the fundamentals and they’ve done everything we’ve asked them to do,” said ﬁrst-year Eastern assistant coach Rocky Brunty, who previously coached 24 years at Federal Hocking. “They’re focused, their attitudes are great, they hustle, they play hard and if they stay aggressive, we’ll be ﬁne.” Richmond was the winning pitcher of record, as the EHS junior allowed just three hits and two walks in four shut out innings. Richmond struck out seven batters before Hill — who struck out one batter in a perfect inning — took over in relief. Collins suffered the loss for BHS, allowing eight runs, seven earned, on four hits and four walks in 1.2 innings. Brand pitched the ﬁnal 2.1 frames for Belpre, and he allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk. Collins tossed two strikeouts, while Brand fanned one batter. Durst and Little both went 2-for-2 from the plate to lead the EHS offense, while Coleman was 2-for-3. Durst doubled once, scored once and drove in three runs, Little scored twice, while Coleman scored twice and drove in two runs. Reynolds, Hill and Richmond each singled once and scored once, with Reynolds driving in two runs. Arix marked on RBI and one run scored in the win, while Honaker crossed home plate once. Collins was 1-for-2 with a double to lead the guests, while Tullius and Sprague were both 1-for-2 with a single. Belpre committed the game’s lone error, which led to the ﬁrst run of the contest. EHS is scheduled to visit South Gallia on Tuesday, and will return home for a non-conference clash with Wellston, on Thursday. Eastern will try to sweep the Orange and Black on April 11, when Belpre hosts the Eagles.

I’m scared to death guard Joel Berry II, who coach is good enough to UConn, South Carolina in Final Four BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies have been on an unprecedented Final Four run, making it there 10 straight years. This trip might have been the least expected of them. With a trio of All-Americans lost to graduation, Auriemma had questions about his inexperienced group of Huskies. They answered every single one of them. “They’ve owned the whole month of March, they weren’t just along for the ride,” Auriemma said. “It’s theirs and that’s a huge step. That’s a big step, to go from riding in the backseat on a trip you’re going to, to all of a sudden, you’re in charge of driving the bus, you’re responsible for getting us there.” Next up for the Huskies, who have won 111 consecutive games, is Mississippi State on Friday night in Dallas. Stanford will face South Carolina in the other national semiﬁnal, giving the Southeastern Conference two teams in the Final Four for the ﬁrst time since 2008. That was the last season the conference won a championship. The Bulldogs are playing in their ﬁrst Final Four after beating Baylor in the Oklahoma City Regional. The Huskies routed Mississippi State by 60 points last season in the Sweet 16, but Auriemma was impressed with what he saw in the Bulldogs win over Baylor. “That’s not the same Mississippi State team we played last year here,” the Hall of Fame coach said. “That’s a whole different team. A lot of the same players, but that’s a whole different team.” While the Bulldogs lack Final Four experience, they are led by a talented group of upperclassmen. “For our seniors, they believed in a vision when it wasn’t real easy to believe. I’m really happy for them,” said Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer. “I know how hard they’ve worked. I know the blood, sweat and tears, the commitment they’ve put into this.” The Cardinal and coach Tara VanDerveer return to the national semiﬁnals after a two-year hiatus. They too were perennial participants, making it there in six of seven seasons from 2008-2014. “It’s an amazing feeling to be back, and we’re ready to play,” Stanford senior Karlie Samuelson said. If Stanford and UConn can win on Friday, it would create a matchup of the Samuelson sisters, with Katie Lou playing for the Huskies. “I can’t imagine anyone has ever done this before on separate teams,” Katie Lou Samuelson said. “I think it was just meant to be that we would go to different places, so this would happen.” South Carolina rebounded after a disappointing exit from the NCAA Tournament last season to reach the Final Four for the second time in three Jessica Hill | AP Connecticut’s Kia Nurse reacts after hitting a 3-point basket during the first half of a regional final game Monday against Oregon in the NCAA women’s college basketball tournament in Bridgeport, Conn. years. The Gamecocks lost a heartbreaking game to Notre Dame in 2015, falling by one point to the Irish. After surviving a secondround scare against Arizona State, the Gamecocks reached the Final Four with victories over Quinnipiac and Florida State. Dawn Staley’s team has had to re-invent itself after losing senior center Alaina Coates to an ankle injury in the SEC Tournament. The Gamecocks joined their men’s program in the Final Four, becoming the 13th school to have both teams reach the national semiﬁnals in the same sea- son. Only UConn has won both titles in the same season, last doing it in 2014. “We’d also like to congratulate our men’s basketball team, because we’re coming to join you,” Staley said after beating Florida State. The Gamecocks will ﬂy straight to Dallas from Stockton, California, because the NCAA decided this year to move the Final Four back to a FridaySunday format for the ﬁrst time since 2002 to try bolster attendance. There were only a handful of tickets left for the championship game as of Monday night. Cavs sitting F Kyle Korver several games SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Cavaliers plan to sit forward Kyle Korver for several games to see if rest and treatment helps his sore left foot. Korver missed Monday night’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs and will sit out Thursday in Chicago and Friday at home against Philadelphia before being re-evaluated, a team spokesman said. The shooting specialist missed seven games earlier this month with an inﬂamed tendon in his foot. The injury has bothered him in the past, and typically Korver has bounced back after some time off. He’s been slower to recover this time. “I had soreness earlier,” said Korver, who came back and played in three games after missing seven with the injury. “It’s just not quite where it needs to be for me to play like I’m really being me. Everyone keeps saying we’re going to play basketball for a long time — get it right for the playoffs.” New Indiana coach delivers all right words in introduction BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Archie Miller is getting back to basics at Indiana. He wants the Hoosiers to be aggressive on offense, nasty on defense and, of course, win the in-state recruiting battles. He’s all for playing Kentucky and maybe Arizona, too. In his ﬁrst public appearance as the Hoosiers’ new coach, Miller hit all the right notes for Indiana fans who had become so disillusioned with the direction of the program that they pushed for a change. “I don’t think you come to Indiana if you don’t want to live in the neighborhood,” Miller said when asked about high expectations. “If you don’t want to move into that neighborhood then you shouldn’t be here. If you like the neighborhood, then you come.” With a seven-year deal worth roughly $3.5 million per year, it appears Miller’s old-school philosophy is here to stay for a while. Fans were eager to hear from Miller — long before Monday’s introductory news conference at Assembly Hall. They stood and cheered when he walked from the south end of the building to the podium at the north end. “Welcome Archie Miller Indiana head coach” was displayed on the videoboard above midcourt. The scene wasn’t lost on Miller. “This is why you want to be at Indiana if you’re a basketball person,” Miller said as his wife and daughter watched in the front row. “My family and I are honored and excited to represent Indiana University in what we consider one of the ﬁnest basketball traditions in all of college basketball.” Miller is well-versed in the traditions of the sport. His father, John, was a Hall of Fame basketball coach in Pennsylvania. His sister, Lisa, and his older brother, Sean, both played Division I basketball. Miller himself was a standout point guard, even at 5-foot-9, at North Carolina State. He honed his coaching skills under former North Carolina State coach Herb Sendek, Ohio State coach Thad Matta and even his brother, Sean, at Arizona, before heading to Dayton, where he produced the best four-year-run in school history. Now, after going 139-63 in six seasons and leading the Flyers to four straight NCAA Tournament bids, Miller has a plan for Indiana. It begins at home. “We have to start inside this state of Indiana, we have to start moving outside very slowly,” Miller said. “The inside-out approach means we have to dedicate ourselves to the high school coaches in this state, the high school talent in this state, the grassroots program in this state and they must feel like they’re being dominated by Indiana University.” Athletic director Fred Glass wasn’t surprised by what he heard — or the warm reaction from fans. He also understands it will take more than words to add a national championship banner to the ﬁve already displayed at Assembly Hall. And Glass believes whole-heartedly Miller can complete the job his predecessor, Tom Crean, could not. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, March 29, 2017 Daily Sentinel OVP SPORTS BRIEFS NASCAR off to a fast start, but ratings still sink Meigs football golf tournament CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Bad news ﬁrst: The overnight television ratings for NASCAR’s race in California were down. The ratings were down for Phoenix, Las Vegas and Atlanta, too. Basically, nothing NASCAR does can stop this slide, it seems. So what’s the good news? Well, NASCAR really couldn’t have asked for a better start to its season. Five drivers won the ﬁrst ﬁve races. The lead changed in the waning laps each time. Kyle Busch got into a ﬁght on pit road that left him with a bloody gash on his forehead — generating all sorts of mainstream attention — and nobody was punished. Similarly, Austin Dillon avoided any penalty when he wrecked Cole Custer in retaliation. Danica Patrick, for one, argued NASCAR did the right thing by withholding heavy-handed punishments. “It makes for good TV,” she said, “and we handle it on the track ourselves.” Professional partier — oh, and NFL star — Rob Gronkowski was the main attraction at the season-opening Daytona 500, and celebrities came out in full force to watch NASCAR on Sunday in Fontana, California. MASON, W.Va. — The Meigs football team will sponsor a golf tournament on Saturday, April 22 at the Riverside Golf Course in Mason County. Registration is at 8 a.m. on Saturday and there will be a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The format will be a four-man scramble with a team handicap over 40. Only one player can have a handicap of less than eight. Cost is $60 per player, which includes food, beverages and a t-shirt. There will be prizes for the first, second and third place teams — along with other prizes. Make checks payable to Meigs football. Interested golfers should call Tonya Cox at 740-645-4479 or Riverside Golf Course at 304-773-5354.

NASCAR, no matter how many story lines or rule changes or celebrities lining the grid, is an underwhelming overall product. Even with its new stage format, events are too long in this day and age of instant gratiﬁcation — even the NFL recently announced ways it is going to try to shorten games — and the racing itself often isn’t all that exciting until the end. Another issue is that viewers are essentially being asked to tune in to watch colorful cars go in circles for 500 miles. When the cars themselves become the “stars,” it’s a lot harder to become emotionally invested in the product. It doesn’t help that Jeff Gordon, the sport’s biggest star for more than two decades, is now in the TV booth and Tony Stewart, the man of the people, is also retired. The people left who need to be embraced are stuffed into cockpits, wearing helmets, and aren’t heard from until the end of the event. Their personalities are hidden, too.

Gonzaga center Przemek Karnowski has a beard of Bunyanesque proportions that earned its own Twitter account and made him famous over the last two weeks. North Carolina forward Luke Maye hit the shot of his life — the game-winner Sunday over Kentucky to send the Tar Heels to the Final Four — then received a standing ovation when he showed up for his 8 a.m. class back in Chapel Hill on Monday. Most other sports provide an opportunity for fans to feel the tension, see and hear the emotion, experience the highs and lows of the participants in real time. NASCAR hasn’t found a way to capture that, barring, of course, an angry Busch stomping down pit road at Las Vegas to take a swing at Joey Logano. That’s as big a problem for NASCAR as the length of its races, its over-saturated 11-month schedule and the constant corporate-speak of its drivers. Figure out a way to show us more — take off the sunglasses, be engaging, give us energy and passion — and then maybe people will start watching again.

That’s because the host Jackson Ironladies, in scoring seven of their nine runs in the opening three innings, amassed a 9-1 non-league softball victory over Meigs on Monday. Jackson zapped the Marauders for three runs on four hits in the ﬁrst frame, then erupted for four runs on six hits in the third to lead 7-0. The Ironladies added a pair of insurance runs in the ﬁfth — as they cranked out 15 hits off three Meigs pitchers. The Lady Marauders, meanwhile, managed just two hits off Jackson sister pitchers Sydney and Mackenzie Humphreys. Sydney Humphreys tossed the ﬁrst six innings for the win, allowing an earned run on only two hits, two walks and a hit batsmen. Mackenzie Humphreys faced four Lady Marauders in the seventh, as both siblings recorded a single strikeout. With the loss, Meigs fell to an even 1-1, while Jackson —which swept a season-opening doubleheader at Waverly —raised its record to 3-0. The Marauders scored their only run in the fourth — when Taylor Swartz led off with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and scored on an RBI-groundout by Danielle Morris. Bre Colburn singled in the third and seventh stanzas, and was hit by a pitch in the ﬁfth. The only other free passes issued by Sydney Humphreys were walks to Swartz in the ﬁrst and Alliyah Pullins in the fourth. The Ironladies stranded ﬁve Meigs baserunners, and only committed one error. Sydney Humphreys helped her cause on the ﬁrst pitch in the bottom of the ﬁrst —clubbing a solo home run to make it 1-0. Mariah Ridgeway and Haley Patterson then singled sandwiched around a Raylene Hammond double, as Patterson plated Ridgeway for the 2-0 lead. Jordan Banks’ RBI-groundout then scored Hammond to make it 3-0, followed by the four-run sixhit third. Meigs freshman Breanna Zirkle was charged with the pitching loss. Humphreys and Ridgeway went 3-for-4 to pace the Ironladies, as Humphreys doubled in the ﬁfth and collected three runs batted in. Hammond, Patterson and Kylee Bako rapped out two hits apiece, as Patterson posted two RBIs while Hammond had two doubles. Bako bagged a two-run single in the third, followed by a double in the ﬁfth. Katelyn Newkirk conked an RBI-double in the ﬁfth, as Haley Richards and Maddie Campbell each had singles. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 Ironmen Smith singled in the fourth.

Daily Sentinel Wildcats outlast Wahama, 7-6 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com WATERFORD, Ohio — The road to a four-peat now has some potholes. The Wahama baseball team opened league play in heartbreaking fashion Monday night following a 7-6 setback to host Waterford in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Washington County. The White Falcons (1-2, 0-1 TVC Hocking) overcame an early fourrun deﬁcit by scoring ﬁve consecutive times in the fourth and ﬁfth frames, but the Wildcats (2-1, 2-0) rallied with three scores in the bottom of the ﬁfth that ultimately resulted in a permanent lead. Wahama — which has won at least a share of the last three league titles — mustered one more run in the top of the seventh to close to within 7-6, but the guests left the tying and go-ahead runs stranded at ﬁrst and third when the ﬁnal out was recorded. The Wildcats jumped out to an early lead after plating two runs in the ﬁrst and two more scores in the second frame. Braden Bellville doubled home Bryce Hilverding for the ﬁrst run of the night, then Bellville scored on a Clay Hayes sacriﬁce ﬂy to center that led to a 2-0 cushion through one complete. Brock Hayes led off the second with a single and later scored on a Noah Huffman single that resulted in a three-run edge. Noah Huffman later scored on a single by Isaac Huffman that made it a 4-0 contest through two complete. The Red and White — which managed only four baserunners in the ﬁrst three frames — ﬁnally broke through in the fourth as Philip Hoffman started the inning with a single, then advanced to third on a one-out single by Cass Kimes. Tyler Bumgarner was hit by a pitch to load the bases, then David Hendrick walked to push Hoffman in for a 4-1 contest. Tanner Smith walked one batter later as Kimes scored to make it a 4-2 game midway through the fourth. Colton Arrington led off the top of the ﬁfth by reaching safely on an error, then advanced to second on a walk to Nyles Riggs. Both runners moved up a base on a Hoffman groundout, then Arrington came around to score on an error that allowed Dalton Kearns to reach base as Jacob Fisher — a courtesy runner for Riggs — advanced to third. Both Fisher and Kearns ultimately crossed home plate on a two-out double by Bumgarner that gave Wahama its only lead of the game at 5-4 after four and a half innings of play. Noah Huffman led off the bottom of the ﬁfth with a double and scored one batter later as Isaac Huffman singled, which tied the game at ﬁve. Huffman was forced out on a ﬁelder’s choice by Hilverding, but Bellville followed with a two-run homer to left-centerﬁeld that resulted in a 7-5 Waterford advantage. Kearns started the seventh by reaching safely after being hit by a pitch, then Kimes singled to put runners at ﬁrst and second with nobody out. That, however, quickly changed as Kearns was caught trying to steal third. Peters advanced to second on a single by Bumgarner, then Bryton Grate delivered a two-out single that plated Peters and advanced Bumgarner to third while making it a 7-6 contest. Waterford, however, got the next batter to strike out on three consecutive pitches — which wrapped up the one-run outcome in a pivotal early-season contest. The hosts outhit Wahama by a slim 11-10 overall margin and also committed both errors in the game. The White Falcons stranded nine runners on base, while Waterford left only ﬁve on the bags. Hoffman — the top senior baseball prospect in West Virginia and a Marshall University commit — suffered the toughluck loss after allowing seven earned runs, nine hits and two walks over 4.1 innings while striking out three. Riggs also allowed two hits and two walks while fanning one in 1.2 innings of relief work. Besides providing the game-winning home run, Bellville was also the winning pitcher of record after allowing three unearned runs, one hit and two walks over 1.2 innings of relief work. Kimes and Bumgarner both led Wahama with two hits apiece, followed by Arrington, Riggs, Hoffman, Kearns, Grate and Edwards with a safety each. Bumgarner also led the guests with two RBIs in the setback. Isaac Huffman paced the Green and White with four hits, followed by Bellville and Noah Huffman with two safeties apiece. Hilverding, Hayes and Jordan Welch also had a hit apiece in the triumph. Bellville led the hosts with three RBIs and Isaac Huffman also plated two runs. Hilverding, Bellville and Noah Huffman also scored two runs apiece for the Cats.

NFL owners approve Raiders’ move to Las Vegas PHOENIX (AP) — Sometime in the not distant future, they will become the Las Vegas Raiders. Until then, likely in 2020, Mark Davis’ team belongs to Oakland. Well, sort of. NFL owners approved the Raiders’ move to Las Vegas 31-1 at the league meetings Monday. Miami was the lone dissenter. Davis insisted the club his father, Hall of Fame owner Al Davis, built into a champion — in Oakland and Los Angeles — should still be considered a part of the Bay Area community. “I wouldn’t use the term lame duck,” Davis insisted. “We’re still the Raiders and we represent Raider Nation. “There will be disappointed fans, and it’s important for me to talk to them to explain why and how.” As he does so, he also can address what is ahead for a team that, on the ﬁeld, clearly is on the rise. Yet, questions abound how much support the Raiders can possibly retain in what is now a temporary home. “My emotions are mixed,” said coach Jack Del Rio, a Bay Area native. “While I’m sad for family and friends and fans in the Oakland area, I also recognize the tremendous opportunity going forward for our organization. That being said, my mission remains the same. To lead this team here and now. Players and coaches need to understand their deﬁned roles. We all need to bring positive energy everyday as we focus on things that we can control.” What they can’t control is community reaction in a place where devotion to the Raiders during their Oakland years — they spent 1982-94 in Los Angeles John Locher | AP Labor union member Geraldine Lacy celebrates Monday in Las Vegas. NFL team owners approved the move of the Raiders to Las Vegas in a vote at an NFL football annual meeting in Phoenix. — has been admirable. Even during all the losing between their last Super Bowl appearance, for the 2002 season, and their next winning record, which came last year, the Black Hole gang has been dedicated. “All the Raiders fans my age, no way you can do it,” said Ivan Davis, a fan of the team for a half-century. “Anyone who lived through the ﬁrst one will not support them. The older Raiders fans, you lost them forever. The ones who gave their life blood to you, you lost them forever.” There will be new fans, of course, in a new locale, a place no one imagined the NFL venturing to just a few years ago. But with their $1.7 billion stadium not to be completed before 2020, the Raiders have three seasons to ﬁll playing elsewhere. “We have two more years of lease options for Oakland right now,” Davis said. “If the fans would like us to stay there, we’d love to be there for that and possibly talk to them about extending it for maybe 2019 as well, and try to bring a championship back to Oakland.” The likelihood of the East Bay welcoming the Raiders for a third season at the aging Coliseum they share with the Athletics — the only such NFL/MLB arrangement remaining — isn’t high. Mayor Libby Schaaf has accused Davis and the league of not “manning up,” and other legislators have mentioned ﬁnding ways to void the two years of stadium options the Raiders have negotiated. Davis said any season ticket holders who have already paid for next season will get full refunds if they seek them. While 2019 is not nearly upon us, Davis needs a concrete plan for that season, including ﬁnding a training facility as well as a stadium. There are other potential hang-ups that could slow construction of the Las Vegas stadium, which doesn’t have a deﬁnite site yet. Las Vegas stepped up with $750 million in public money, and Bank of America is giving Davis a $650 million loan. It’s conceivable, if highly improbable, that snags will hit in those areas. Interestingly, one segment that will proﬁt from the move: Raiders employees. There is no income tax in Nevada, while California’s is among the highest in the nation. Meanwhile, league reservations about relocating a franchise to a city built on gambling have disappeared. “The existing size of Las Vegas, the diversiﬁcation and the growth that it has undergone over the last 20 years, combine to make it a mid-sized market today,” said league executive Eric Grubman, the NFL’s point man on stadium projects, “but one that is exhibiting signiﬁcantly above average growth. Those things in combination, its current size with its above average growth, combined to give the rest of the ownership conﬁdence.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
