Meigs County EMA recently created the Evacuation Assistance and Speciﬁc Needs Registration Program. The program was approved on Thursday by the Meigs County Commissioners. The program is designed to assist individuals with speciﬁc needs in times of disaster by pre-registering so that emergency personnel can assist those individuals in the time of need. This will allow for emergency responders to know the needs of the individuals in order to take them to shelters, facilities, hospitals or family member residences should a disaster occur. Meigs County EMA Director Jamie Jones said that the forms and information will be beneﬁcial in times of disasters such as power outages, winter storms or other disasters to help pinpoint residents who need immediate assistance. The registration form will outline speciﬁc needs a resident may need in the time of a disaster such as oxygen, dialysis or special assistance. After completing the registration form a representative from Meigs County EMA will contact the resident to further assist with planning what assistance can be POMEROY — A Middletown man accused of killing his wife was arrested early Monday morning by the Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. According to Sheriff Keith Wood, Bobby J. Nitz, 45, of Middletown, was arrested at 12:02 a.m. on the exit ramp near Alligator Jack’s off Route 7 after a brief pursuit. A news release from the Middletown Division of Police states that at 9:13 p.m. on Sunday evening the ofﬁce received a call from an 11-year-old girl that her mother was dead. Ofﬁcers responded to the residence at 1203 Short Street in Middletown where they found Crista V. Nitz, 41, dead on the ﬂoor of the bathroom. “We found that Crista had been arguing with her husband Bobby Jo Nitz, age 45, and it became violent. The little girl heard a loud sound and Bobby ﬂed the area on his motorcycle. Bobby told a friend that he had just killed his wife, so we sent out a message to other police agencies that we were looking for him,” the release states. Bobby Nitz was spotted by Middleport Police Department Ofﬁcers shortly before midnight and a pursuit began on Route 7. Deputies came in contact with the suspect near Alligator Jack’s on Route 7, with the suspect then turning onto the exit ramp toward Pomeroy. At that point, Nitz came to a stop, was ordered to put his hands in the air and was then placed on the ground and handcuffed by Deputy Chris Jones. Nitz was taken to the Washington County Jail to be held. He is charged with felony ﬂeeing in Meigs County, and a murder charge has been ﬁled by the Middletown Police Department in Butler County. Wood stated that Nitz has family in the area and is from this area. The Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce was advised around 11 p.m. Sunday evening that Nitz may be heading toward Meigs County. The girl was physically unharmed and is now with her father. Anyone with additional information should call Det. Hughes with the Middletown Division of Police at 513-425-7733.

Photos by Sarah Hawley/Sentinel Participants in the color run were splashed with colors throughout the 5K race, leading to a tie-dyed look as they crossed the finish line. A splash of color for a cause By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com RACINE — Blue, purple, green, yellow and a few other colors were ﬂying through the air on Saturday morning during the color run to beneﬁt the Southern Playground Project. Nearly 100 participants ran, jogged or walked the 5K race, passing through multiple color stations, each adding its own color for the participants. This is believed to have been the ﬁrst color run in the county. Funds raised through the run go toward a new playground for second and third grade students at Southern Elementary. The playground project began last year with the decision to create a new playground which can not only be used by second and third grade students, but by sports teams, community members and others. What will make this equipment unique in comparison to the other playground equipment is that it is geared toward ﬁtness, climbing and agility. Participants in the color run were splashed with colors throughout the 5K race, leading to a tie-dyed look as they crossed the finish line. Event organizer and physical education teacher Heather DaileyJohnson said that there is a fundraising goal of $25,000, and that the project is almost halfway to that goal. They will also be applying for grant funding for the project. The goal is to have all funds collected and complete a one-day community install on August 19, in advance of the 2017-18 school year. As the grant for the project See COLOR | 5 At the start of the run each participant was given a packet of color to toss into the air, with the colors then falling down onto the participants. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Tuesday, May 2, 2017 Thousands of people in US rally against Trump, for workers By Steve Peoples and Amy Taxin not buy anything.” In Philadelphia, 1,000 Associated Press teachers, who’ve been working without a conNEW YORK — Thou- tract for years, protested sands of people chanted, outside schools.

CHESAPEAKE OHIO— Edna Leona Schneider Gov’t relaxes salt, whole grain standards for school meals By Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press LEESBURG, Va. — Schools won’t have to cut more salt from meals just yet and some will be able to serve kids fewer whole grains, under changes to federal nutrition standards announced Monday. The move by the Trump administration partially rolls back rules championed by former ﬁrst lady Michelle Obama as part of her healthy eating initiative. As his ﬁrst major action in ofﬁce, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the department will delay an upcoming requirement to lower the amount of sodium in meals while continuing to allow waivers for regulations that all grains on the lunch line must be 50 percent whole grain. Schools could also serve 1 percent ﬂavored milk instead of the nonfat now required. “If kids aren’t eating the food, and it’s ending up in the trash, they aren’t getting any nutrition — thus undermining the intent of the program,” said Perdue, who traveled to a school in Leesburg, Virginia, to make the announcement. Before he signed the proclamation, Perdue and Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, ate chicken nuggets, fruit and salad with children at Catoctin Elementary. Perdue said he doesn’t see the changes as a rollback, but “we’re just slowing down the process.” He praised Obama’s nutrition efforts as ﬁrst lady but said he wants the healthier meals to be more palatable. He said the department will work on long-term solutions to further tweak the rules. The changes reﬂect suggestions from the School Nutrition Association, which represents school nutrition directors and companies that sell food to schools.

Man indicted for roofing scam in Ohio, West Virginia MARIETTA — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Washington County Prosecutor Kevin Rings announced Monday the indictment of a roofer accused of stealing more than $200,000 from 34 victims in Ohio and West Virginia. Anthony Combs, 49, of Smithﬁeld, North Carolina, was indicted Wednesday by a Washington County grand jury on seven counts, including engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, grand theft, theft from the elderly, telecommunications fraud, and money laundering. The indictment became public Monday. “People paid thousands of dollars and received nothing in return,” Attorney General DeWine said. “It was a classic scam, and we won’t tolerate it. We work closely with local law enforcement and county prosecutors to hold scam artists accountable and make Ohio a safer place for all consumers.” “Mr. Combs walked away with a signiﬁcant amount of money taken from a number of Washington County residents,” Prosecutor Rings said. “We appreciate the work of the Washington County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, and the assistance of the Attorney General’s Ofﬁce in the investigation and prosecution of these crimes. The grand jury’s indictment is just the next step in the process of holding Mr. Combs accountable for his crimes.” According to investigators, Combs and his company, AMC Remodeling, operated in the Belpre area between September 2015 and June 2016 offering rooﬁng services to consumers in Washington County and parts of West Virginia. Many of the consumers were elderly. After taking thousands of dollars from consumers, Combs allegedly delivered no services and provided no refunds. An attorney with the Ohio Attorney General’s Economic Crimes Unit, a division of the Consumer Protection Section, was appointed by the Washington County Prosecutor to handle the case. The case was investigated by the Attorney General’s Economic Crimes Unit, Washington County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, Washington County Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce, Vienna (W.Va.) Police Department, Park- ersburg (W.Va.) Police Department, and the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Attorney General DeWine created the Economic Crimes Unit shortly after taking ofﬁce in 2011 to identify criminal conduct in consumer fraud cases and to assist local law enforcement and prosecuting attorneys in holding scam artists criminally accountable. Since its inception, the unit’s investigations have led to 121 convictions. Consumers who have roof damage should beware of contractors who offer repairs. Before making any payments, consumers should research a contractor by checking complaints on ﬁle with the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce and the Better Business Bureau, and by conducting an internet search of the business and the names of individuals involved. Consumers who believe they have been treated unfairly should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce at 800-282-0515 or www. OhioProtects.org. Information from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

The 1,665-page bill agreed to on Sunday is the product of weeks of negotiations. It was made public in the predawn hours Monday and is tentatively scheduled for a House vote on Wednesday. The catchall spending bill would be the ﬁrst major piece of bipartisan legislation to advance during Trump’s short tenure in the White House. While losing on funding for the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump won a $15 billion down payment on his request to strengthen the military, though that too fell short of what he requested. Vice President Mike Pence said the administration “couldn’t be more pleased” and noted that it would include a boost in military spending, a “down payment” on border security and provide money for health beneﬁts for coal miners. “It will avert a government shutdown but more important than that, it’s going to be a signiﬁcant increase in military spending,” Pence said in an interview with “CBS This Morning.” He called it a “budget deal that’s a bipartisan win for the American people.” The measure funds the remainder of the 2017 budget year, through Sept. 30, rejecting cuts to popular domestic programs targeted by Trump such as medical research, the Environmental Protection Agency, and infrastructure grants. “The omnibus (spending bill) is in sharp contrast to President Trump’s dangerous plans to steal billions from lifesaving research, instead increasing funding for the NIH (National Institutes of Health) by $2 billion,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California. 60716309 By Andrew Taylor �E ditorial 4 Tuesday, May 2, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW The role that Native Americans played in America’s Revolution By Ray Halbritter Contributing columnist In recent years, our country has made great strides in honoring the uniquely diverse and multicultural roots of this exceptional society. Yet, for all that progress, history has remained one of the last arenas harboring an inaccurate picture of America. All too often, the retelling of history promotes a monochromatic portrait promoting the courageous leadership of icons like George Washington but painfully excluding the people of color who also played an instrumental role in this nation’s founding. That has ﬁnally begun to change, however, with the recent opening of the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia. By paying homage to the rich historical account of the integral role that the Oneida Indian Nation played as America’s ﬁrst ally during the American Revolution, the historic bonds between Native Americans and America’s founding fathers will be forever preserved. In essence, the opening of the museum is rescuing the history of this country’s birth — and Native Americans’ role in it. The fundamental contribution that our ancestors made in the formation of this great country will no longer be overlooked, ignored or forgotten. Instead, the stories of our history will be told and retold for generations to come. The signiﬁcance of honoring indigenous people’s formative role in the establishment of the United States of America is particularly relevant in today’s politically acrimonious climate. After all, there has always been a direct line between bigotry and historical revisionism, distortion and omission. Indeed, Native Americans’ heritage has often been distorted or altogether omitted in ways that are both factually inaccurate and deeply destructive. In an ever-more diverse country, it is more critical than ever for future generations to learn and appreciate their multicultural roots and history. Making sure we preserve that multicultural story is not a radical or dangerous idea — more than two centuries after the Oneidas fought side by side with Gen. Washington, our ancestors deserve their place in our collective memory about this country’s founding. While their bodies died for our future, we now ensure that their memories will not. Centuries before professional sports teams tried to turn Native Americans into mascots and cartoons, my ancestors were forming a pivotal coalition with those ﬁghting British tyranny. They were providing life-and-death support to the founders, who had almost no other allies coming to the aid of the Revolution. Before the French helped the effort against the British, it was the Oneida people who became Washington’s ﬁrst allies — and at great sacriﬁce to our people. It was the Oneidas who took up arms in support of their colonial neighbors early on at the Battle of Oriskany — considered by many historians to be the bloodiest battle of the Revolution. Although that battle was more or less a draw, it cemented the longstanding friendship between the Oneidas and the colonies, and it made the Oneidas the very ﬁrst allies of the United States. It comes as quite a surprise that even today, many Americans still sadly have no knowledge of Native Americans’ role in the Revolution, because their efforts are often still omitted from the historical record. Such omissions, however, only underscore the signiﬁcance of this new museum — and the moral imperative of its mission. Now, Americans have a chance to learn the rich and compelling story of how our people reached across cultural lines and worked together with the founders in a uniﬁed ﬁght for freedom. This museum makes sure that we are not succumbing to reductionism and not oversimplifying the beginnings of America. Instead, it guarantees that the details are preserved and that all the stories of sacriﬁce are passed on to future generations. Preserving and teaching the true founding story of America is not an exercise in self-congratulation. On the contrary, these efforts ensure that the historical record of our exceptionally diverse nation accurately reﬂects the diversity of our foundational story. The museum’s mission also represents another meaningful way to safeguard the longevity of the American Revolution’s core ideals. Two centuries after the war, those notions of liberty, equality, and democracy remain as revolutionary as ever — and an inspiration for the world. When my ancestors joined with the colonists, they were standing in solidarity for those indisputable ideals, just as our country still stands in defense of those ideals today. Ray Halbritter, representative of the Oneida Indian Nation in Upstate New York, is a board member of the Museum of the American Revolution. He wrote this for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

I do prance around every now and again, showing off my wellearned scars, but the prance is more an expression of my gratitude to God for survival and a jubilation of hope than it is of boasting of my ability to scale to fence and live to tell about it. It’s more of a dance on the sidelines where I cheer on those struggling to stay the course and attempting to shimmy up that rope of fear.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, May 2, the 122nd day of 2017. There are 243 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 2, 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Buck v. Bell, upheld 8-1 a Virginia law allowing the forced sterilization of people to promote the “health of the patient and the welfare of society.” (On this date in 2002, Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner apologized for the state’s thousands of forced sterilizations from 1924 to 1979, calling the practice “a shameful effort.”) On this date: In 1863, during the Civil War, Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was accidentally wounded by his own men at Chancellorsville, Virginia; he died eight days later. In 1890, the Oklahoma Territory was organized. In 1908, the original version of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” with music by Albert Von Tilzer and lyrics by Jack Norworth, was published by Von Tilzer’s York Music Co. In 1936, “Peter and the Wolf,” a symphonic tale for children by Sergei Prokoﬁev, had its world premiere in Moscow. In 1946, violence erupted during a foiled escape attempt at the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay; the “Battle of Alcatraz” claimed the lives of three inmates and two correctional ofﬁcers before it was put down two days later. In 1952, commercial jet service began as a BOAC de Havilland Comet carrying 36 passengers and seven crew members took off from London on a ﬂight to Johannesburg with ﬁve stopovers along the way. In 1957, crime boss Frank Costello narrowly survived an attempt on his life in New York; the alleged gunman, Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, was acquitted at trial after Costello refused to identify him as the shooter. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., died at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. THOUGHT FOR TODAY “We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.” — Henry Ward Beecher, American clergyman (1813-1887) In 1965, Intelsat 1, also known as the Early Bird satellite, was ﬁrst used to transmit television pictures across the Atlantic. In 1970, jockey Diane Crump became the ﬁrst woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby; she ﬁnished in 15th place aboard Fathom. (The winning horse was Dust Commander.) In 1982, the Weather Channel made its debut. In 1997, a new national memorial honoring President Franklin D. Roosevelt was ofﬁcially opened in Washington, D.C. Tony Blair, whose new Labour Party crushed John Major’s long-reigning Conservatives in a national election, became at age 43 Britain’s youngest prime minister in 185 years. In 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed by elite American forces at his Pakistan compound, then quickly buried at sea after a decade on the run. Because of the time difference, bin Laden’s death came May 1, U.S. time. Ten years ago: In a defeat for anti-war Democrats, Congress failed to override President George W. Bush’s veto of legislation requiring the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. In a speech to construction contractors in Washington, President Bush declared al-Qaida “public enemy no. 1 in Iraq.” Five years ago: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich formally exited the Republican presidential contest. Taliban insurgents attacked a compound housing foreigners in the Afghan capital, killing seven people, hours after President Barack Obama made a surprise visit. �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel STOCKS MEIGS BRIEFS Meigs County National Day of Prayer POMEROY — Several events are planned for the week of April 30 in recognition of National Day of Prayer.

The Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division leading Meigs softball team was in no mood to share the top spot in the seven-team league, as the Maroon and Gold defeated second place Wellston by a 14-4 count in six innings, on Friday night at Dreams Field. The Lady Marauders — who have three league games left on the slate — now possess a two-game advantage over WHS in the league standings, with the other ﬁve teams already eliminated from contention. Wellston (12-10, 9-2 TVC Ohio) took a 2-0 lead in the opening frame, when Wilson scored on a wild pitch and Compston doubled home Smith. In the home half of the ﬁrst, Meigs (14-3, 9-0) tied the game when Alliyah Pullins doubled home Peyton Rowe and Danielle Morris, and then the hosts took their ﬁrst lead as Bre Colburn singled in Pullins. The Lady Golden Rockets regained the advantage in the top of the third inning, as Smith drove in Scott and then scored on an error. However, Meigs regained the advantage in the bottom of frame, and never trailed again. The Lady Marauders tied the game at ﬁve with no outs in the inning, when Rowe singled home Oliver. Next, Taylor Swartz scored on a groundout by Morris, then Pullins tripled home Rowe, and ﬁnally Colburn drove in Pullins. MHS added on in the bottom of the fourth, as Swartz doubled home Oliver and then scored on a double by Rowe. Shalynn Mitchell entered as a pinch runner for Rowe, and she scored on a double steal play to put the Maroon and Gold ahead 10-4. After a scoreless ﬁfth frame, Meigs got back to work with no outs in the sixth, when Swartz tripled home Oliver. With one out in the frame Swartz scored on a single by Morris, who then scored on a Pullins double. Pullins stole third and then scored on a groundout by Colburn, capping off the Lady Marauders’ 14-4 victory. Pullins earned the pitching victory for Meigs, allowing four runs, three earned, on six hits and two walks, in four innings of work. Breanna Zirkle ﬁnished the game in the circle for MHS, striking out one, while allowing just one hit. Compston suffered the loss for the guests. Pullins certainly helped her own cause, going 3-for-4 with a triple, two doubles, three runs scored and four runs batted in. Swartz went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, three runs scored and one RBI, while Oliver was a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs scored. Rowe was 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and three RBIs, Morris was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs, while Colburn contributed a single and three RBIs.

Lady Bulldogs bite River Valley By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com THE PLAINS, Ohio — Not as much pop the second time around. Host Athens exacted a little revenge in a big way Friday night after earning a season split with the River Valley softball team following a 8-1 decision in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contest in Athens County. The visiting Lady Raiders (5-12, 3-7 TVC Ohio) never led in the contest as the Lady Bulldogs (5-14, 4-6) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead through one inning and never looked back. Skylar Jones belted a solo homer in the top half of the third to pull the Silver and Black back to within a run, but the guests were never closer the rest of the night. AHS tacked on a run in the fourth and then plated four in the ﬁfth for a commanding 7-1 edge, then the hosts added another run in the sixth to wrap up the 8-1 outcome. The Green and Gold outhit River Valley by a 12-4 overall margin. RVHS won the ﬁrst meeting by a 10-8 count in Bidwell back on April 12. Kaylee Stewart was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one earned runs, four hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out eight. Arika Barr took the loss after surrendering eight earned runs, 12 hits and one walk over six frames while fanning one. Jones led the guests with two hits, followed by Chloe Gee and Sierra Roberts with a safety apiece. Brooklyn Sikorski paced Athens with three hits, followed by Olivia Tegnolia, Ami Brannan and Kat Kroutel with two safeties apiece. Stewart, Lilly Mills and Katie Kish also had a hit each in the victory. Sikorski and Tenoglia led the hosts with two RBIs apiece. River Valley travels to Meigs on Monday for a TVC Ohio contest at 5 p.m. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Bengals getting backlash over drafting RB Mixon CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals are facing a backlash over their decision to draft running back Joe Mixon, who punched a woman in the face while at Oklahoma. Cincinnati added to its reputation for embracing players with troubled histories when it took Mixon in the second round. Even before Mixon arrived in town on Saturday, the choice was getting panned. WCPO-TV posted an editorial on Saturday afternoon saying the club had gone too far this time. The editorial urged fans to stop buying Bengals tickets and instead donate money to organizations that work to prevent violence against women. Wearing a black Bengals polo shirt and a gold chain, Mixon got a warm reception at a fan event at Paul Brown Stadium. He knew there were mixed feelings out in the community. “It’s not really about winning anybody over,” Mixon said in an interview. “I come here to work and to be the best teammate, the best person, and try to do whatever I can around the community and get everybody together.” Daily Sentinel Sargent fares well at Gazette Relays By Bryan Walters and a sixth place ﬁnish out of 12 scoring teams.

Browns follow 1-win season with solid draft BEREA, Ohio (AP) — For three days, the Cleveland Browns were decisive, aggressive and precise in the NFL draft. Who are these guys? Ridiculed for years for making major mistakes while on the clock, they picked the consensus best player, landed a potential franchise quarterback and replenished a needy roster with young talent following a depressing 1-15 season. There didn’t appear to be any missteps, other than perhaps taking a player recently arrested that they might have to cut and wasting a pick on a kicker. All in all, not too bad — for the Browns. “I feel more comfortable,” said second-year coach Hue Jackson. “I think we are better. Now, how much better we are? We will ﬁnd that out as we go, but I feel more comfortable and conﬁdent in our guys that are in the locker room and that they know what to expect and how we want to play. I think we did a great job of drafting to our identity and what we want to become here at the Cleveland Browns.” The Browns made two trades on Saturday, when they selected Houston cornerback Howard Wilson, Florida State offensive lineman Roderick Johnson, kicker Zane Gonzalez and North Carolina State running back Matthew Dayes. The only questionable move came in the sixth round, when Cleveland elected to take Florida defensive tackle Caleb Brantley, recently charged with battery after he allegedly punched a woman. Not long after making the pick, Brown said the team isn’t committed to Brantley and may release him pending a further investigation. “This is something that he can’t repeat as he moves forward,” said Sashi Brown, the team’s vice president of football operation. “And more important than that, we communicated to Caleb that this is something that we’re still investigating and looking into, and facts may turn up that prevent us from being able to keep him on our roster. We will continue to investigate on our end, and provided that we can get comfortable, keep him on the roster. If we can’t, we’ll move on.” According to a police report, the victim told police the 6-foot-2, 314pound Brantley made crude comments toward her during an argument on April 13. She pushed him and he punched her in the face, according to the report. Brantley’s pick was the only sour note during an otherwise solid draft that began with the Browns taking Myles Garrett, the poetry-writing, quarterback-eating defensive end who has visions of becoming a perennial Pro Bowler. And after passing in the ﬁrst round on three quarterbacks, including Clemson star Deshaun Watson, the Browns addressed their endless search for a franchise QB by picking Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer. The Browns are still a long way from being competitive, but they believe they’re closer. “This is a big class for us,” Brown said. “There’s no one brick. We set ourselves up next year for another good group to come in, but we want to perpetually be getting better and we’re not going to rest now.” Here are some other takeaways from what the Browns hope will be a transformative draft: PREP SCHOOL: As the face of Notre Dame football, Kizer knows all about pressure. He said playing for the Fighting Irish was the perfect training ground for handling anything that might come at him in Cleveland. “As far as a stage at the college level gets, I don’t know if there’s one bigger,” he said. “Representing something a lot bigger than yourself is one concept, but when you are doing it at an international level with a fan base that truly expands all over the word, it was an honor and privilege. Now, I will be able to pull from those experiences.” Kizer will be in competition with Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and Kevin Hogan for Cleveland’s starting job. He won’t come to camp as the favorite, but isn’t conceding anything. “I’m going to do whatever I can to learn as fast as I can and as quickly as I can to play,” he said. “That’s the reason you play football is to play, not to sit around and watch from the sidelines.” SWAP MEET: After making ﬁve trades last year, the Browns made four more, including a deal with Houston that netted their a ﬁrst-round pick in 2018. HANGING AROUND: Osweiler was acquired in a March trade and ﬁgured to be gone by now. But not only is he still on the roster, Houston’s former starter, who is 13-8 as a career starter, could move to the top of the depth chart because of his experience. POTATO CHIPS TO BLUE CHIP: None of the Browns picks has a more inspiring story than defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi. Overweight and addicted to video games, his parents, who moved to the U.S. from Nigeria, forced him to take up football in high school to get in shape. He transformed his body, dropping 100 pounds and sculpting himself into a lean 253pound all-Conference USA player at Charlotte. He’s the ﬁrst player drafted from the school and the computer science and biology major hopes to motivate kids. “I know what it’s like to start form the ground up,” he said. Jackson already loves him. “He’s beautiful,” the coach said. “He’s big. He’s strong. He’s tough. He has great initial quickness. He can knock guys back.” Logano pulls away to win NASCAR race at Richmond RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Joey Logano smiled as if he’d stolen something and got away with it, and that wasn’t far from the truth. Logano passed distracted and dominant Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski on one restart and then pulled away on another with about 20 laps to go to win the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway on Sunday. “We were just fast enough to break through and kind of steal a win,” Logano said. “We had a decent car. We were in the lead when the caution came out there and we looked like we were in pretty good shape, and then, obviously, to have the good pit stops and all that, I don’t know if you’d call that stealing. We didn’t get lucky. We were able to just do what we know how to do.” Logano, who qualiﬁed ﬁfth but had to start 37th after making a transmission change, grabbed the lead when Keselowski had to make a defensive move to keep Kyle Busch from passing him on the inside. His 18th career victory came in his 300th career start. “I was driving my guts out out there,” Logano said in Victory Lane. “That’s all I had. We won with a car that may not have been a winning car, so that’s something to be very proud of as a team. That means the execution was there and we were able to put ourselves in position to race there hard at the end. Brad was the fastest car. He was so fast.” Keselowski got stuck behind some slower cars on the ﬁnal restart, letting Logano pull away by nearly 2 seconds. “I think what we needed was about 10 more laps,” Keselowski said. He led six times for 110 laps. On the ﬁnal restart, Logano had to get around Kyle Larson and ﬁve others who stayed on the track when everyone else pitted. He made quick work of that challenge and pulled away while Keselowski and Denny Hamlin got caught in trafﬁc dueling for the second position. “That’s part of how this racing deal works, and the fastest car doesn’t always win,” Keselowski said. Keselowski, who had the dominant car for the second half of the race, held on for second, followed by Hamlin, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kevin Harvick. Dale Earnhardt Jr., in his ﬁrst race since announcing he will retire at the end of the season, ﬁnished 30th. “We just didn’t have the speed that the other cars had,” a frustrated Hamlin said. “We ﬁnished right where we should have.” Ryan Newman, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. all took a chance when the rest of the ﬁeld started making green-ﬂag stop with about 80 laps to go. The three stayed out hoping for a caution ﬂag that would allow them to get new tires and remain up front. Johnson eventually pitted, and then he brought about the caution when he side-swiped Earnhardt into the wall in the backstretch, making the gamble pay off for Newman, who was likely to be passed shortly thereafter by the hardcharging Keselowski. “I just have to try to ﬁgure out if I just didn’t hear it being told to me or if it wasn’t told to me,” Johnson said. “I just feel terrible, obviously. Man, I’m surprised our cars even kept rolling after that because I just body slammed him into the wall and I could have easily not heard the clear or something else happened. I don’t know, but that’s the last thing you want to have happen with a teammate.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
