Remembering a piece of history Third Bicentennial Marker unveiled By Kayla Hawthorne Special to OVP ANTIQUITY — The third Bicentennial Marker was unveiled Wednesday evening in Letart Township. The marker, which is located at the “Antiquity” sign when traveling south on State Route 124 from Racine, commemorates the Riverside Mill Company. Bicentennial Ambassadors Grant Adams, Brielle Newland and Cooper Schagel were in attendance along with members of the Bicentennial Committee and members of the community. The Riverside Mill Company was founded by W.F. Sayre in the late 1800s. According to members of the Shain family, the mill built wooden barges and paddle wheel hulls. At one time, the company employed 25 people. Jason Shain, the great, See TUCKER | 5A Public meeting on Jellystone set The fourth Bicentennial Marker was placed on Wednesday in Letart Township. great grandson of Sayre, said “for a small area and everything back in those days, that was quite an operation.” The 1937 flood reached the mill, causing it to close shortly after. The Shain family said when the road was built where the mill was located, the state bought it for $100. The family and decedents of Sayre continued to operate the general store, which was owned by the mill, until the early 1960s. The store and mill office are still standing along State Route 124 in Antiquity.

Shain said not a lot of information was documented on the mill, but the family is grateful for the county wanting to place signs and bring back the history of Meigs County. “The people don’t recognize the history that’s beneath their feet,” Adams said. “It’s not just celebrating individual companies, individual peoples, it’s celebrating peoples’ lives. Celebrating where we are today.” The next marker unveiling will be held on May 15 with a time and location to be announced at a later date. Markers will continue to be unveiled the third Wednesday of each month throughout 2019. Kayla Hawthorne is a freelance writer for The Daily Sentinel.

A century of industrialization, accompanied by the profit above all capitalist model, had produced an environment that was clearly in decline. Air was polluted, rivers were burning, oil wells were spewing into the sea, factories were dumping wastes into local canals. But people were noticing. Racheal Carson’s book Silent Spring, describing the effects of the now banned pesticide DDT on the bird population, had sold more than 500,000 copies. It was also an era of protest and activism thanks to the Vietnam War. Senator Nelson was able to harness the protest energy of political activism and focus it on protecting the environment.

Man pleads not guilty in missing child hoax Associated Press CINCINNATI — A 23-year-old man authorities say impersonated a long-missing child pleaded not guilty Friday to lying to federal agents. Brian Michael Rini, of Medina, Ohio, was arraigned after his indictment this week on those charges and charges of aggravated identity theft. He was initially arrested on a single false statement count after DNA testing proved he wasn’t Timmothy Pitzen, an Aurora, Illinois, boy who disappeared in 2011 at age 6. Rini had been found April 3 wandering the streets of Newport, Kentucky, where police say he claimed to be the Pitzen boy at age 14 and told them he escaped captors who sexually abused him. A federal magistrate earlier this month cited Rini’s lack of a permanent address, past mental health issues and “a lengthy criminal history” that goes back to age 13 as she ordered him held without bond. He was released from a state prison in March after serving more than a year on burglary and vandalism charges. Prison records show he was accused of making up stories during his time there. Rini’s story had briefly raised hope among Timmothy’s relatives that the youngster’s disappearance had finally been solved. When confronted with the DNA results, Rini said he had watched a story about Timmothy on ABC’s “20/20” and wanted to get away from his own family, the FBI said. He twice earlier portrayed himself in Ohio as a juvenile victim of sex trafficking, authorities said. In 2017, Rini was treated at an Ohio center for people with mental health or substance abuse problems, according to court papers. MARYSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Honda is slowing production of Accord and Civic cars as U.S. buyers continue to favor SUVs and trucks. The Japanese automaker said Thursday that it will temporarily idle a second-shift production line in August at its Marysville, Ohio, assembly plant, in part to prepare the factory to produce future electric vehicles. The shift is expected to resume production in several years. The line being shut down produces about 55,000 vehicles a year, most of which are Accord sedans, Honda said. In addition, some production of the CR-V small SUV in Marysville will go to a factory in Greensburg, Indiana, where production of the compact Civic will be reduced.

Let me help you with all your real estate needs. Honda will update the plant’s manufacturing capability to prepare for new technology including electric vehicles, Honda said in a statement. There will be no layoffs, a company spokeswoman said, but Honda will offer voluntary buyouts to some employees. The reduction also will affect production at engine and transmission plants in Ohio, Honda said. Sales of the Accord this year are up 4.6% through March but fell nearly 10% last year. Civic sales are down nearly 5% so far this year to 78,185, according to Autodata Corp. They fell almost 14% last year. CR-V sales, however, are up 6.4% through March to 87,280. Trucks and SUVs have made up almost 70% of U.S. new vehicle sales this year. Mandel cleans his accounts CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio Republican Josh Mandel (man-DEHL’) has scrubbed two social media accounts containing posts critics at times labelled as offensive. Cleveland.com reports Mandel has deleted every post he has made on his Twitter and Facebook accounts as of Thursday. He also set his Twitter account to private, though previous followers can still see it. The move raises questions about the former state treasurer and two-time U.S. Senate candidate’s next political move. Mandel did not return messages about the accounts left by cleveland.com or The Associated Press. The 41-year-old Mandel has kept a low profile since leaving the Senate race last year, but still has $3.6 million in a federal campaign account. He quietly filed paperwork in September for a long shot congressional bid, which allows him to keep the account active.

Ohio’s unemployment numbers are low, and wages are up overall. Yet, I’ve also seen firsthand that parts of Ohio haven’t benefited from the broader economic growth. This includes some of the rural parts of our state where there is no access to fast, reliable broadband internet that is key to economic development and job growth. As Americans become more reliant on the internet for their jobs and day-to-day activities, access to reliable broadband has accelerated in most parts of the country. Unfortunately, data suggests that this acceleration in broadband deployment is concentrated in urban/suburban areas, while rural areas have lagged behind. For example, according to a 2018 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) report, in Ohio more than 99 percent of the population in urban areas has access to fast, reliable broadband, but in rural Sen. Rob areas that number drops to 78.4 Portman percent. Overall, more than 600,000 Ohioans still lack access to standard Guest Columnist broadband internet, making it much harder to apply for jobs, engage in e-commerce, and take advantage of the many resources that are online today. This is why I’m committed to promoting greater access to rural broadband by connecting the right organizations with the right resources so broadband deployment makes economic sense. One such proposal is my legislation with Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) that was included in the 2018 Farm Bill to create a standing “Council on Rural Community Innovation and Economic Development.” The council will help promote policies that use technological innovation to resolve challenges related to health care, law enforcement, housing, and telecommunications. This legislation also establishes a Rural Broadband Integrated Working Group within the council to identify regulatory barriers to broadband deployment, encourage public private partnerships, and support competition. The Farm Bill I supported also included a new round of funding for Rural Utilities Service loans. These loans, along with a number of other grant programs at the Department of Agriculture and the FCC, provide significant sources of funding to help expand broadband infrastructure across America. Even with these funding streams, however, too often it does not make economic sense for many for-profit providers to enter into rural markets to deploy broadband. Overcoming the economics of rural broadband deployment is the central challenge to expanding access, and organizations such as tax-exempt rural cooperatives, or co-ops, help us to solve that problem. Co-ops operate by having their members pay into the organization, which in turn uses that money on a non-profit basis to provide facilities and services such as electricity and broadband. Historically, these nonprofit, consumer-owned coops were on the frontlines of bringing electricity and telephone access to sparsely populated rural areas. Now, these same tax-exempt co-ops are well positioned to use existing funding to deploy broadband in rural areas. We are already starting to see this take place in Ohio, as co-ops like the Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative operating in Southeast Ohio are applying for state and federal funding for rural broadband. Unfortunately, many of these co-ops are in danger of losing their tax-exempt status for trying to take advantage of these broadband grants programs. Currently, certain tax provisions could cause co-ops to lose their tax-exempt status simply for having a large amount of governmental grant income in a given year. Putting a co-op’s tax-exempt status in jeopardy would cause them to think twice before even applying for broadband service grants. Last week, I introduced legislation called the RURAL Act with Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) to fix this issue. This bipartisan bill will ensure that co-ops can apply for governmental grants and assistance while preserving their nonprofit treatment. It will give co-ops the confidence to enter into the rural broadband market right at the time where Ohioans need it most. As the internet continues to transform business in the 21st century, we must be sure that the rural communities in Ohio and across the country have access to fast, reliable broadband. Deployment of affordable, reliable broadband is critical to promoting economic development and job creation in the parts of the country that feel left behind. I am committed to working to enact the RURAL Act into law and to promoting common-sense policies to expand broadband deployment in our rural communities in Ohio.

THEIR VIEW Treasuring small-town lives Garrison Keillor said, “When a man lives in one place for most of his life, he doesn’t need GPS. He is guided by memories of boyhood bike rides, the ever-present Mississippi, and the undeniable power of rhubarb.” Our town, Port William, had neither rhubarb or the Mississippi, but we did have bike rides, roller skates, plenty of homemade food on the table, and love in our homes. Growing up during one of the best times in American history, we tend to treasure our small-town lives even more as we get older. A simple pleasure was to walk to the local restaurant and mingle with the farmers and townsfolk who regularly convened on the red and white stools at the counter, while high school students sat at tables drinking milkshakes and eating French fries. Regardless if you grewup in Wilmington, Hillsboro, Washington Court House or Xenia, the values and experiences were very much the same. Nothing lasts forever, the only constant is change, and the change that swept through the small towns during that era were the intense winds of school consolidation. When the debate lowered its voice, the transformation swept through the soul of the towns, as the residents came to understand the State School Board had just cut out the hearts of their beloved community. It wasn’t long before was comprised of our old school in different families.

One leader didn’t seek cover soon enough and was soaked. When she arrived on the riverboat deck, her crepe dress began to shrink before everyone’s eyes, shrinking so fast her underwear became visible to all. According to Rita, it was a story retold for many years in the Haley family, with my dad particularly liking to tell the story because the lady was a cousin to my mother. Interestingly, I learned of these happenings only after reading Rita’s book recently. Towns and the people in them come and go. As Thomas Wolfe said, “All things belonging to the earth will never change—the leaf, the blade, the flower, the wind that cries and sleeps and wakes again, the trees whose stiff arms clash and tremble in the dark.” “All things proceeding from the earth to seasons, all things that lapse and change and come again upon the earth—these things will always be the same, for they come up from the earth that never changes, they go back into the earth that lasts forever. Only the earth endures, but it endures forever.” So do our memories. Pat Haley is a former Clinton County Commissioner and former Clinton County Sheriff.

Senior U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett in Cincinnati ordered the state not to bring criminal charges against doctors who perform the D&amp;E procedure under most circum- stances until the case can be fully litigated. Other parts of the law were allowed to proceed. The ruling comes as the state’s ban of abortions in cases involving a Down Syndrome diagnosis also is before the courts, and the ACLU plans a court challenge to a heartbeat abortion ban signed last week. The ban on D&amp;Es , the most common second-trimester abortion procedure, was signed by then-Gov. John Kasich last year. In Thursday’s ruling, Barrett agreed with Planned Parenthood the law is likely to be declared unconstitu- tional because it places an undue burden on a “large fraction” of Ohio women. Dr. Leana Wen, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, called the ruling a victory for patients’ rights. “This ban has no basis in medicine, which is why it has been opposed by the medical community,” she said in an emailed statement. “Women’s health care is health care. Reproductive health care is health care. And health care is a fundamental human right. Planned Parenthood will always safeguard the ability of our patients to access safe, legal abortion, no matter what.” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said he was pleased Barrett “largely upheld the ban on dismembering unborn children while they are still alive.” “Though we will continue defend the constitutionality of every part of the law, we appreciate the judge’s recognition that Ohio may ban abortion methods that are more brutal than any form of slaughter we would permit to be used on livestock,” Yost said in an emailed statement.

Brennan also confirmed, as I’ve been saying for weeks now, that the district is nearing a point when it would be reviewed by the SHPO. We’ve lost over 21 percent of our district, and when you add alterations to that, we’re near 40 percent that no longer qualifies for the National Register. At the very least, that is enough to drastically change the boundaries of the district. At worst, the district could be delisted. Either way, quite a few property owners will lose access to the historic tax credits (which I might add, includes 20 percent for private homes). Based upon my research and knowledge of preservation law and policy, it’s my opinion we would also lose the Historic Landmark Commission, which only exists to enforce district guidelines, and Main Street Point Pleasant, which is a branch of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. To sum everything up, this building is likely one of the most important in the district, right up there with the State Theater and Lowe Hotel. It can easily be saved, in less time and for less money than what is currently proposed, and to offset that cost even further, there are multiple grants available as well as the historic tax credit. Finally, the project is about much more than the Mitchell-Nease building.

Based on his experience, he told the Council that the building could be rehabilitated in less time and for less money than demolishing it and building a new one. Compared to past projects of his, it would be roughly $800,000 and 1 year, instead of $1.6 million and 1.5 years as is currently proposed. He also agreed that the interior could be gutted and rebuilt, giving the Museum the modern interior that they’re looking for, and that there is nothing that would prevent them from building another addition to gain more space. Finally, Jennifer Brennan is the Certified Local Government/Tax Credit Coordinator for the WV SHPO. She told the Council of the various funding options available for this project, including the SHPO’s pre-development grants that cover 70 percent of engineering and architectural planning costs and their 50 percent development grants for the actual project. She did note that the deadline for those applications had just passed, but also spoke on the tax credit. In WV, we have both the federal (20 percent) and state tax credit (25 percent), and it can be applied for at any point in the year. Assuming that this is an approximately $1 million project, that means that the city and museum will get back 45 percent, or $450,000. Think about how far that dry goods stores in town from 1850 to the 1930s, it was a gathering place and the center of the community. You think the idea of hanging out at Walmart is new? As the Point Pleasant River Museum, it remains a focal point of Main Street, the community, and the local economy. I’d like to end by making known what was said at the last Point Pleasant City Council meeting, and what will be brought up again at the Historic Landmark Commission meeting (April 24 at 5 p.m. at the Point Pleasant Municipal Building). As you likely read in this paper, multiple experts testified before the council regarding the potential for saving the building. Carol Stevens, a structural engineer with CAS Structural Engineering, is well-versed in historic buildings, having worked on the WV Capitol, WV Governor’s Mansion, and Lewisburg County Courthouse, among others. She confirmed that the structure of the building supports pre-Civil War construction, and stated that based on her experience, there is no reason that this building cannot be saved. She did agree that the bricks have softened, but said that there are ways to correct that.

This building was built in the 1850s! It has “witnessed” nearly 170 years of Point Pleasant’s history! The creation of West Virginia, the height of the steamboat era from 1850-1890, the 1884 flood, the coming of the Ohio River Railroad in 1886, the 1895 fire that destroyed most of downtown, the Kanawha and Michigan Railroad in 1892, the creation of Tu-Endie-Wei, the flood of 1913, the relocation of Marietta Manufacturing to Point Pleasant, the Great Depression and 1937 Mother of All Floods, the boom of the 1940s and ‘50s, the collapse of the Silver Bridge, and so much more. This building has stood through disaster after disaster, and every time, both the building and city came out swinging. The three worst floods in our history and a fire that leveled downtown, and we’re going to demolish this building because of an electrical fire, which I might add was confined to the 3rd floor, and water damage from fighting that fire? This building was flooded into the second story three times! The building has taken part in our celebrations. Onlookers crowded the porch (and if I was them, the second story windows, too) during the grand dedication of TuEndie-Wei and the Battle Monument.

MASON, W.Va. — As it turns out, 16 days didn’t make that much of a difference after all. The Eastern baseball team — which defeated Wahama by an 8-5 tally on April 2 in Meigs County — survived a late rally from those same White Falcons on Thursday at Claflin Stadium, where the Eagles escaped with a 7-5 victory. Eastern (12-0, 10-0 TVC Hocking) — which never trailed in either meeting with the White Falcons (16-4, 10-3) — broke the scoreless tie in Thursday’s bout before the first out was recorded, as Matthew Blanchard singled home Blake Newland. Still with no outs in the frame, Nate Durst hit a three-run triple and then scored on a Conner Ridenour single, giving the guests a 4-0 edge. Wahama — which had won eight straight headed into play — got one run back on a two-out triple by Tanner Smith in the bottom of the first, but left the senior stranded on third. After a scoreless second inning, Eastern went ahead 5-1 when Ridenour singled home Blanchard in the top of the third. EHS added two more to its lead with a tworun double by Isaiah Fish in the following inning. The Eagles left two runners on base in fourth, and didn’t reach scoring position again in the contest. The White Falcons began fighting back in the bottom of the fourth, with Trevor Hunt singling home Ethyn Barnitz. The hosts left a runners on second base in the fourth and fifth innings, but cut the See EAGLES | 2B Blue Devils sweep South Point, 4-3 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com SOUTH POINT, Ohio — No thrones, but rather a game of runs. The Gallia Academy baseball team rallied with two scores in the top of the sixth and ultimately picked up its third consecutive victory in as many days Friday with a 4-3 decision over host South Point in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Lawrence County. The visiting Blue Devils (8-5, 5-3 OVC) jumped out to a quick 2-0 advantage after an inning of play, and the score remained that way until the bottom of the fourth as the Pointers managed to secure their only lead of the night with three runs. The Blue and White, however, made their big push in the sixth after loading the bases with nobody out. SPHS managed to induce a 1-2-3 double play to thwart some momentum, but then nine-hole hitter Cole Davis received a walk to again load the bases. Dakota Young hit a groundball that ended up turning into an error, and both Cade Roberts and Andrew Toler came around to score on the miscue while giving the guests a 4-3 cushion. The Blue and Gold mustered a runner apiece in their final two innings at the plate, but the hosts ultimately ran out of chances.

We’ve had some wonderful successes and the first time since the also some struggles as turn of the millennium. Most of the teams that competitors in the TVC, but it’s always been a very competitive league for our kids to participate in,” Bond said. “Being the only West Virginia program in an Ohio league made some things a bit more difficult, rather it be the difference in rules or the difference in seasonal schedules. More times than not, the OHSAA calendars and the WVSSAC calendars did not line up. That’s really why we had a desire to be a member of a West Virginia-based conference again. “The move to the LKC will not only give us a chance to operate on a similar schedule as our conference opponents, but it also allows us the opportunity to see more of the teams that we’ll face in sectionals and regionals over here. The decision ultimately came down to us having a desire to be in a league located in West Virginia, playing against West Virginia teams on a WVSSAC schedule.” Wahama participated as an independent athletic program from the fall of 1999 through the spring of 2010 before being accepted into the TVC by a 10-3 vote back in 2009. The White Falcons managed to win three consecutive league titles in football during their first three seasons as TVC Hocking members, plus capped that string of titles with the 2012 Class A football championship. Wahama has also collectively won numerous TVC Hocking titles in baseball, boys basketball and softball during its tenure in the nine-team league, as well as produced state championships in track and field and back-to-back titles in baseball (2015-16). One of the main reasons for joining the TVC was simply to assure that each sport at Wahama could be guaranteed a full schedule in every season. However, trying to match schedules that are determined by different governing bodies has proven to be a bit of task for all involved in the TVC — especially the one program not aligned with everyone else’s standards. “Just an example of what we are looking at next year as members of the TVC. The boys basketball teams in Ohio will start practice almost three full weeks before we do in West Virginia. It’s nobody’s fault, it’s just the difference in the rules and guidelines between the states. A dozen to 15 extra practices also make a big difference at the start of a season,” WHS Athletic Director Ron Bradley said. “Our wrestlers and our track and field kids never get to compete at the league meet because it’s usually See WAHAMA | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, April 21, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel Lady Raiders roll past Southern, 7-1 Lady Falcons outlast Eastern, 9-8 By Alex Hawley By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — It’s just not the week to mess with the Lady Raiders.

The Wahama softball team won its 16th consecutive game and earned at least a share of the 2019 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division title on Thursday in Mason County, as the Lady Falcons held on for a 9-8 victory over guest and defending champion Eastern. Eastern (8-5, 8-3 TVC Hocking) — which also fell to the Lady Falcons (20-1, 13-0) by a 20-10 count on April 2 in Meigs County — led 1-0 in Thursday’s game, as Cera Grueser hit a solo home run in the top of the first inning.

Gallia Academy was at River Valley Saturday and returns to action Monday when it hosts Rock Hill in an OVC contest at 5 p.m. has personally enjoyed everything that the TVC has offered competitively during Wahama’s time in the league. Those communities, schools, coaches and student-athletes have become a large part of Wahama’s rich athletic history since the fall of 2010. However, Bradley acknowledges that as much as the Wahama coaching staffs are going to miss those newly-formed rivalries … this next move allows WHS the opportunity to rekindle some old rivalry flames while also being tested night-in and nightout. “The biggest thing for me is that I think it is going to be beneficial for our kids. The bottom line is that is what we are after, what we think will be best for our student athletes. It’s going to give our kids more exposure in West Virginia,” Bradley said. “It’s absolutely nothing against the TVC because there are a lot of quality people, coaches and competitions in that league. It’s more about the positives of us joining the LKC and less about anything else. It’s a positive move for us … and it’s going to benefit our kids in the long run.” Dr. Bond agrees that the competitive aspect of this decision is basically trading one fierce league for another, but at least it will be on the south side of the Ohio River. “We’re not taking a step down, most assuredly. We’re moving from one very competitive league to another very competitive league that is very similar to our enrollment numbers, much like the TVC,” Bond said. “We are certainly looking forward to completing our run in the TVC next year, and we are very much looking forward to the challenges that await us in the LKC.” Multiple sources at Wahama made mention that the move to the LKC was kept pretty close to the vest during the exploratory stages, and one administrator did say that the school was expecting the LKC to issue a press release once the move was finalized almost four weeks ago. The Point Pleasant Register was not contacted by anyone at Wahama High School once the move to the LKC was finalized. The Tri-Valley Conference also did not release a statement on the matter, although it wasn’t really the league’s place at this time — given that Wahama is still technically a member of the TVC Hocking Division. Wahama will submit its official Letter of Withdrawal from the TVC at the scheduled June meeting. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

The Meigs softball team snapped a fivegame losing skid and handed visiting Point Pleasant its second loss in its last eight games with an 11-1 mercy-rule decision on Thursday night in a non-conference matchup in Meigs County. The Lady Knights (15-3) jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first as Rylee Cochran drove in Peyton Jordan with a oneout single to centerfield, but the host Lady Marauders (8-11) were nearly flawless the rest of the way after allowing only three more baserunners the rest of the night. The Maroon and Gold followed with multi-run efforts in the second, third and fourth frames, which ultimately led to a 10-1 advantage through four complete. Jerrica Smith started the bottom of the second with a leadoff double and later scored on an error that allowed Katie Hawkins to reach safely, tying the game at one. Jadyn Floyd followed with a one-out double that plated Hawkins with the go-ahead run, then Hannah Durst doubled in Floyd for a 3-1 advantage through two complete.

Swatzel capped the fireworks in the bottom of the fifth as a one-out single to centerfield plated Swartz, allowing the Lady Marauders to wrap up the mercy-rule decision in walk-off fashion. Meigs also managed to salvage a season split after dropping a 9-1 decision at PPHS back on April 9. It was also only the second time this year that the Red and Black lost by double digits. The Lady Marauders outhit the guests by a 14-4 overall margin and also played a mistakefree contest, while the Lady Knights had two errors in the setback.

Rio softball clinches RSC regular season title By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — On a day when the University of Rio Grande celebrated the careers of four players prior to its River States Conference twin bill with West Virginia University-Tech, the RedStorm also got to do some celebrating afterward. Head coach Chris Hammond’s club wrapped up the RSC’s regular season title, while securing the top seed in the upcoming conference tournament and punching its ticket to the NAIA national tournament with a sweep of the visiting Golden Bears, Thursday afternoon, at Rio Softball Park. Rio Grande posted an 11-3 mercy rule-shortened win in the opener before recording a 5-1 victory in the nightcap. The RedStorm, who entered the day needing just one conference win to secure the regular season title and earn a sixth straight trip to the national tourney, improved to 29-11 overall and 15-1 in league play with the sweep. WVU-Tech saw its losing streak reach five straight games in dropping to 17-25 overall and 7-9 in the RSC. The Golden Bears mounted a three-run third inning rally to take a 3-2 lead in game one, but Rio tied the contest with a run of its own in the home half of the inning before scoring three times in the fourth to regain the lead for good. A five-run sixth inning invoked the mercy rule and ended the game. Senior Kelsey Conkey (Minford, OH), junior Lexi Philen (Tallmadge, OH) and freshman Taylor Webb (Willow Wood, OH) all had two hits and a run batted in for Rio, while junior Michaela Criner (Bremen, OH) and sophomores Mary Pica (Minford, OH) and Kayla Slutz (Navarre, OH) both drove in two runs. Webb and Criner both tripled. Conkey went the distance in the circle to get the win, allowing five hits and three runs over six innings. Jacey Bertalan had a two-out, two-run single for WVU-Tech in its three-run third inning, while Skylar Connelly also drove in a run. Karina Atanacio started and took the loss for the Golden Bears, allowing four hits and six runs - four earned - over four innings. Game two saw Rio sophomore starter Raelynn Hastings (Commercial Point, OH) limit the Bears to just three hits in a complete game effort. She walked one and struck out three. One of the three hits was a third inning home run by Ashley Daniels which staked Tech to a 1-0 lead, but the RedStorm scored three times in the bottom of the inning to take the lead and added two more markers in the sixth to set the final score. Criner finished 4-for4 with a double, while Philen, Webb, Conkey and senior Carly Skeese (Newark, OH) all drove in runs. Kacie Cahill accounted for the remainder of Tech’s hit total by going 2-for-3. Amanda McDonald started and lost for the Golden Bears, allowing five hits, a pair of walks and three runs over 2-2/3 innings.

OU Chillicothe is also a commuter-based school that offers twoyear associate degrees and four-year baccalaureate degrees. It is the oldest regional branch of Ohio University in the state. It might not be anything relatively close to the glitz and glamour of a Division I program, but RVHS softball coach Nick Roberts says that competing at the collegiate level is something truly special in itself. He also believes that Cierra is more than ready for the task ahead of her — both athletically and academically. “She’s a solid ball player and a great student … and definitely a hard worker,” Coach Roberts said. “She’s put in the work to get where she’s going, and anytime you have a player make it to the next level … you’re excited for that student-athlete. It’s good for something like this to come from our program and we at River Valley are very excited for Cierra to get this opportunity.” Cierra also feels ready for the next challenge, given all of the preparation that has gone into her softball career up until now. “I feel very prepared for college. I have played with and against some of my future teammates,” Roberts said. “And since I have also played elite travel ball throughout high school, I feel my experience and number of higher level games have helped prepare me for the next level.” Cierra plans to major in Nursing and currently carries a 4.5 weighted grade-point average at River Valley. Cierra is the daughter of Nakuma and Chasity Roberts of Bidwell. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Steelers want draft built on difference-makers, not drama PITTSBURGH (AP) — Antonio Brown is gone. The Pittsburgh Steelers hope the drama the star wide receiver produced during his prolific, but occasionally problematic stay followed him out the door. And while general manager Kevin Colbert understands it will be difficult to replace such a vital part of one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses, he’s been around long enough to know that at some point everyone leaves. Finding the next wave is what he’s paid to do. “It’s our job to try to make it work and patch it back together so we’re not a non-playoff team (again),” Colbert said. Something the Steelers became during a lateseason swoon last fall that culminated in a 9-6-1 finish and set the stage for Brown pouting his way into a trade with Oakland. While Pittsburgh’s haul for the only player in NFL history with six straight 100-catch seasons — a third-round and a fifth-round selection — was modest, it did give the Steelers some flexibility when the draft begins on Thursday. Pittsburgh has 10 picks overall, including three in the top 66 and four in the top 83. It’s the kind of depth that could allow the Steelers to trade up in the first round if they want or let them stockpile talent in an effort to address the problems that cropped up during a 2-4 finish, particularly an inability to take the ball away when it mattered. Pittsburgh produced just 15 turnovers in 2018, tied for third-fewest in the league. It’s a number that has to climb if the Steelers want to keep pace in a new-look AFC North in which the Cleveland Browns — yes, the Browns — seem to have all the momentum. Both Colbert and coach Mike Tomlin stressed the need for more “ballhawks” heading into 2019. Pittsburgh took a step in that direction by signing cornerback Steven Nelson — whose four interceptions in 2018 were just one less than the combined total by the Steelers’ entire secondary — in free agency. Still, more talent is needed, leading to the likelihood Pittsburgh will take a defensive player in the first round for a seventh straight year. The Steelers should have some solid options if they stick at the 20th pick. While LSU’s Greedy Williams figures to be off the board by the time Pittsburgh is on the clock, Washington’s Byron Murphy and Georgia’s DeAndre Baker — who captured the Jim Thorpe Award last season as the top cornerback in college football — will likely be available. Of course, taking a cornerback for the second time in four years would be a sign that the Steelers swung and missed on Artie Burns, whom they selected 25th overall in 2016. Burns put together a solid rookie season but has tailed off significantly. He ended 2018 being used almost exclusively on special teams and Pittsburgh declined to pick up his fifth-year option. Burns’ struggle to stick is symbolic of Colbert’s uneven track record when it comes to using high picks on defense. For every T.J. Watt — who has 20 sacks in two seasons and looks every bit like the next man in line to continue Pittsburgh’s tradition of game-changing outside linebackers — there is a Burns, a Jarvis Jones or a Bud Dupree. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, April 21, 2019 5B AP SPORTS BRIEFS NCAA rejects 2-year commitment to grad transfers council’s transfer working group. The council did pass a new rule that will go into effect this fall semester, allowing athletes who have enrolled in summer school and are on scholarship to transfer and be immediately eligible at a new school if their head coaches leave.

He posted a reflective story about his career on The Players’ Tribune, describing Friday how much he’s missed playing. Lindor said he’s “ready to roll. Ready to help this team win it all. I am going to cherish every single second I am able to play this game. I will not take anything for granted — not any pitch, ground ball, hit . nothing.” The 25-year-old will meet with the medical staff once more before he is activated. Lindor likely will be in Cleveland’ lineup this weekend against Atlanta. One of baseball’s best all-around players, Lindor made three rehab appearances this week for Triple-A Columbus, batting .417 with two home runs.
