Having a servant’s heart POMEROY — Nine alleged victims, plus three others witnesses, took to the stand this week in the trial against former corrections and probation ofﬁcer Larry Tucker. Tucker, 56, is charged in two separate indictments with 31 felony charges and one misdemeanor charge, mostly in connection with alleged inappropriate actions with women he supervised as a corrections or probation ofﬁcer. Each of the nine victims discussed the alleged acts committed by Tucker, as well as the time frames, locations and circumstances under which each occurred. One of the witnesses on Friday afternoon testiﬁed about her interactions with Tucker during her time on probation.

POMEROY — The Meigs County Farmers Market will ofﬁcially open on Saturday, June 1 at 10 a.m. in the Pomeroy parking lot. The market will run every Saturday morning through Oct. 31 for the 2019 season. Applications are now being accepted for vendors on their website, where you can also ﬁnd information about the board and manager. Vendors can either be farmers or producers. The board deﬁnes ‘farmers’ as “a person or an organization that raises their own agricultural products locally.” A ‘producer’ is deﬁned as “a person or an organization that uses some locally grown ingredients and locally processes those ingredients into ﬁnished products.” “Everything that gets sold will have to be plant or food based,” said Ciara Martin, the health department’s Creating Healthy Communities Program Director. “But we are deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com going to have forms of entertainment. So if local musicians want to come and play, we’re not going to deny that.” Cost for vendors will be a total of $125 for the membership fee and a 16 feet by 10 feet stall per season. The board hired Chris Hamm as the market manager. The board members are Laura Grueser, Sam Rife, Dixie Hawthorne, Maureen Burns and Alyssa Webb.

Steve Bergman, a project manager with consulting ﬁrm Mannik and Smith Group along with Beth Thornton, a lead engineer with the ﬁrm, and Alan Craig, ODOT District 10 planning and engineer, LPA and consultant contracts manager presented a trafﬁc study before the commissioners, as they had at a previous meeting in early March of last year. This time though, instead of a variety of build plans presented before stakeholders, project organizers limited them to four, while also considering a no build option if necessary. Some options included modiﬁcations to the current Gallia-Meigs Regional Airport and one would require its entire movement to a new location. “We believe that the alternatives we’ve put forward will eliminate some of the safety concerns throughout the entire project area,” said Thornton.

The native of Palestine, West Virginia found herself the subject of headlines across the globe when she was captured by Iraqi forces in 2003 and subsequently rescued by U.S. Special Operations Forces. She told those gathered, she had her future mapped out as a graduating high school senior and had planned to attend Glenville State College to study education and become a teacher, when she and her brother decided to join the military. Hoping to ease the ﬁnancial burden on her parents when it came to her education, she found herself headed in a different direction, though hopeful to eventually return to her dream of becoming an educator. Shortly after enlisting, September 11th happened. She found herself making it through basic training and was a supply clerk in a maintenance company. She joked she had one of the most important jobs in the company - ordering toilet paper. In February 2003, her unit, the 507th Maintenance Company, was deployed to Iraq. Then, on March 23, 2003 that unit was ambushed near Nassiriya. Prior to the ambush, she said “it just didn’t feel right” and recalled an eeriness. She then recounted the ﬁre ﬁght that erupted around her unit and the unit’s malfunctioning and jammed weapons. “We were ducks in the middle of a pond with nowhere to run, nowhere to hire,” she said. “We were just being bombarded by these Iraqis.” Beth Sergent | Register Jessica Lynch, veteran and former Prisoner Of War, tells her story to those attending Thursday’s Mason County Area Chamber of Commerce dinner and awards banquet. Feeling “helpless,” Lynch said she and her fellow soldiers had no way to defend themselves in the soft shell Humvee. Her best friend Lori Piestewa was driving the vehicle. Lynch remembered a bullet coming through the window in front of Piestewa’s face, barely missing her friend’s head. Lynch recalled that was the moment when what was happening became real on an entirely different level. “I remember her (Piestewa) driving really fast…and then we were stuck by an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade,” Lynch said, adding her friend lost control of the vehicle and it crashed into another disabled vehicle. Piestewa would later die from head trauma and Lynch’s First Sargeant and two other soldiers who were sitting beside her in the Humvee were shot and killed. Badly injured, Lynch was taken by the Iraqis and stripped her of her military gear. While in captivity, she was seriously injured, suffering a broken back, right arm, right foot, left femur, left tibia, a laceration to her head, and several cracked ribs. She recalled waking up in excruciating pain with Iraqi men standing above her, with her ﬁrst instinct to attempt to jerk away or jump to get away but she coudn’t feel anything from the waist down and couldn’t move her right arm. At one point, she was told by her captors her leg would be amputated. She begged them not to do it, and “by some miracle” that amputation didn’t happen. After being transported to another location with no lights, no electricity and being left alone in the dark with only her thoughts from sun up to sundown, she was afraid to scream for fear of drawing the wrong kind of attention. The next day, the men returned and drove her back to a hospital where a few days after that, she heard new voices. She heard a Humvee, a helicopter, bombs going off and then gunshots outside her room. “I remember thinking they don’t know I’m in here, this is the next building they’re going to bomb to take down,” she said. The next thing she heard were loud voices demanding, “Where is Private Lynch?” “At that moment, I knew good or bad, I was their target.” With her Iraqi captors gone from her room, a soldier entered, stood beside her and ripped the American ﬂag from his uniform and placed it in her hand. “He said ‘we’re American soldiers and we’re here to take you home,’” she recalled. She was rescued on April 1, 2003.

She said she’s OK with that because at least she’s still here. Of course, her story as a young Army Private has been well publicized but what about Lynch now? She did go on to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Master’s Degree in Communications and enjoys her time in the classroom and of course, time with her 12-year old daughter. “With everything I have been through I am extremely blessed,” she said. “I am so fortunate that I get to be here to tell my story.” In addition, Lynch said when sharing her message, it’s not about what she went though but shining a light on PTSD and what other veterans are going through and how can she help them. She talked about meeting those other veterans and how “it’s so true that we all have stories, everybody, not just veterans. We all have something that we are going through in our lives, whether it’s ﬁnancial, educational, whatever it happens to be, we all have those hurdles we need to jump over and overcome. That’s my message to you today, no matter what you are going through, just never give up, keep pursuing your dream, have that mentality, that never-give-upattitude within you that you can, and will, overcome whatever you’re going through in your own lives.” REEDSVILLE — John Carlton Maxson, 64, of Reedsville, Ohio, passed away Friday, April 26, 2019, at his residence.

Because, truth be told, that sounds like something she deﬁnitely would have done. My mother was a devout Catholic woman — she attended parochial schools from kindergarten through college — who celebrated this holiday and all of its religious implications. She would have made sure we were in church at least an hour before it started — we often would get there before the previous mass had ended — in order to beat the crowd and get a pew right up front. That being said, however, she pretty much loathed all of the other, more secular things associated with the Easter holiday. She hated coloring eggs. She hated hiding eggs. David She hated ﬁlling Easter baskets. Fong All of this, I suppose, she considContributing ered a colossal waste of time. And, I columnist guess when you have a full-time job teaching elementary school children and are raising ﬁve children of your own at home, time is probably at a premium. I remember her going through the whole Easter Bunny charade a few times, but by the time I had reached about the second grade, my older siblings had pretty much clued me in there was no such thing as the Easter Bunny. My mother made no attempts to dissuade them. And that’s how, on every Easter moving forward, I could count on my mom to throw a few candy bars my way on Easter and that was the end of it. She’d still boil up eggs for us to color — but she complained the entire time and I truly believe the only reason she did it was because she knew how much my old man loved egg salad sandwiches and would eat all the hard-boiled eggs afterwards. Of course, it wasn’t just Easter my mother found distasteful. She didn’t touch alcohol (ironic, I know), so she never had much use for New Year’s Eve or St. Patrick’s Day. She detested wrapping presents or decorating the house around Christmas time, and her avoidance of both became the stuff of legend. She would put all of our Christmas presents in a separate cardboard box for each of us, then wrap the box and put each one under the tree for us. Needless to say, I found out there was no Santa Claus at a much younger age than most of my peers. She would eventually ﬁgure out a way around the Christmas tree problem, too. For the last decade of her life or so, she would simply have me come over to her house after the holidays and put the tree — still fully decorated — in the garage, where it would stay until the following December, at which point I’d pull it out of the garage and put it in her family room. Of all the holidays out there, however, the one she despised the most was, by far, Halloween. There was literally nothing she liked about the holiday. She hated getting her kids dressed up for Halloween and, much more than that, she hated kids ringing her doorbell and she hated passing out candy. So, in my beloved mother’s typical fashion, she would do her best to ﬁnd ways around it. Eventually, she would just have us wear some sort of sports jersey when we went trick-or-treating and say we were a professional athlete (which, in my case at least, certainly was a stretch). She even started putting the candy out in a plastic bowl on her front porch with a sign that said, “Take one,” leaving kids to the honor system. This honor system, by the way, pretty much never worked, and the third or fourth kid who walked by would usually dump the whole bowl in his or her bag and walk off. This never bothered my mother, who just ﬁgured it ended the night that much earlier. But as I sit here thinking about my mom on my ﬁrst holiday without her, I’m struck by one thing (and thankfully, it’s not the back of her hand, as was often the case when I’d write about her in my columns): As much as my mother hated all of those things about holidays, she loved all of us with every ounce of her being. She did her best to make our holidays special when we were younger, no matter how much she hated coloring eggs, wrapping presents or coming up with a Halloween costume at the last minute. When we got older and moved out of the house, she loved having us come back and, along with her grandchildren, ﬁll her house with love and laughter. I miss you mom, as much now as I did the day you left us in February. I wish you could be here to watch your grandkids color Easter eggs, grumbling the entire time about them spilling dye on your carpet. Happy Easter, mom.

THEIR VIEW More money for Ohio families, workers As Ohioans ﬁled their taxes this spring, more and more people saw President Trump’s and Congressional Republicans’ tax scam for what it really is: A handout to millionaires and billionaires at the expense of working families. Ohioans are working harder than ever before to make ends meet. But the cost of everything — from childcare to prescription drugs to a college education — is up, while wages are largely ﬂat. And most Ohioans got no help from the president. That’s why I led my colleagues in introducing the Working Families Tax Relief Act. This plan will cut taxes for workers and families by expanding the Earned Income Tax now, ﬁve million Credit (EITC) and young workers Child Tax Credit without children (CTC). are taxed into or Research has taxed deeper into shown that these poverty.

Once they entered the courtroom, the woman alleged that Tucker put his hand up her shirt, touching her breast, and then put his hand down her pants. She stated that the phone rang in the probation ofﬁce and Tucker went to answer it which ended the incident. The ﬁrst woman to take the stand on Friday was an inmate at the Middleport Jail for approximately six months during her case in another county. She testiﬁed that Tucker was very nice to her, giving her snacks and “real coffee” when he was the corrections ofﬁcer. She said he was one of the nicer ones. She also testiﬁed that there were ﬂirtatious actions and comments exchanged between the two. He would also allegedly caress her hand through the tray slot in the cell door. During her time at the jail, she said Tucker would let her and sometimes another woman out of the cell to fold laundry. One time while out of the cell folding laundry, she explained that it went further. The woman stated that when she went to hand the laundry to Tucker in the supply room he took her hand and led her in to the room. She testiﬁed that they kissed and that he put his hand in her pants and touched her in a sexual manner. She testiﬁed that there were no other incidents during her time at the jail, but that before she was released he gave her his business card. She stated that he told her to call when she got out and they would have dinner. Two of the females who were probationers of Tucker testiﬁed that he would tell them to let him know when their husbands/ boyfriends and children were not home so that he could stop by. Additionally, one probationer stated that when Tucker came to her house he offered her “$50 for an hour or $25 for 15 minutes.” She declined. Several of the women testiﬁed that while they did not reject Sunday, April 28, 2019 5A Tucker or the acts he attempted or completed with them, they were afraid of what may happen if they did not go along. They stated that he had power over them as a probation ofﬁcer or corrections ofﬁcer. Other witnesses included the mother of one of the women, the boyfriend of one of the other victims, and two former Middleport Jail inmates who were not victims in the case. Tucker, who was corrections ofﬁcer at the Middleport Jail and a probation ofﬁcer and bailiff for Meigs County Common Pleas Court, was initially indicted by a Meigs County Grand Jury on May 3, 2018. Charges in the initial indictment include: six counts of Sexual Battery, thirddegree felonies; six counts of Kidnapping, ﬁrst-degree felonies; ﬁve counts of Gross Sexual Imposition, fourth-degree felonies; ﬁve counts of Attempted Sexual Battery, fourth-degree felonies; four counts of Attempted Compelling Prostitution, fourth-degree felonies; one count of Theft in Ofﬁce, a ﬁfth-degree felony; one count of Soliciting, a third-degree misdemeanor. A second indictment followed on Jan. 9, 2019. The second indictment was for two counts of kidnapping, ﬁrst-degree felonies, along with fourth-degree felony charges of gross sexual imposition and attempted sexual battery. As previously reported, Tucker is accused of sexually assaulting or attempting to sexually assault 12 different inmates and/or probationers while working as a corrections ofﬁcer at the Middleport Jail and as a Meigs County Common Pleas Court probation ofﬁcer. The incidents are alleged to have occurred between January 2011 and November 2017. Each sexual battery charge and kidnapping charge carries a sexual violent predator speciﬁcation. The six kidnapping charges also carry speciﬁcations alleging that the crimes were committed with sexual motivation. The trial is scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. on Monday with the prosecution calling its next witness. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel.

The Meeting was called to order by Regent Gina Tillis. Members repeated the DAR Rituals and sang the Star Spangled Banner. The Program , Titled “Unraveling The Mysteries and Secrets of Honey and Honeybees” was ﬁrst on the agenda. It was presented by Guest Speaker, Greg Bailey of Jocelyn Honey. He gave a very interesting presentation and demonstration on honey bees and their importance on our source of food production in today’s world. He stated every third bite of food is pollinated by honey bees either directly or indirectly. There are approximately 200,000 bees in a hive with one queen bee. It take two million blossoms to make a pound of honey. It is best to use honey that is produced locally than imported honey. Buckwheat is planted to help the bees in their honey production. Bees need pollen to survive. Many bees do not survive the winters. He noted it takes 60 pounds of honey for bees to live during the winter. A queen bee averages laying from 5,000 to 200,00 eggs in a day. Queens may live up to three years. Once a honey bee stings you they die. Honey is noted to be good for healing wounds, diabetic ulcers, radiation burns, and bedsores. He showed us many photos of hives and demonstrated how the equipment is used in keeping bees. He and his wife Jocelyn operate their beekeeping business, and sell their honey and products made from it to the public.

An aviation consultant, Greg Heaton, said that option M was the best from what he felt would be the Federal Aviation Administra- A diamond interchange would be constructed at State Route 735. Ohio 735 would be reduced to two lanes and realigned to connect with Ohio 7 near the existing US 35 eastbound entrance ramp. A two-lane connector would be constructed from Ohio 735 to Farm Road. Total construction would require two bridges. Option J modiﬁed would move US 35 westbound lanes to parallel existing eastbound lanes. A diamond interchange would be constructed at Farm Road and a connected from Farm Road would touch Ohio 7. Roundabouts could be potentially constructed at ramp intersections and at the Farm Road connector. Reportedly, the option would require additional work for “roadway connectivity” to Ohio 7, said Thornton during the presentation. State Route 735 would again be reduced to two lanes but a T-intersection would be placed at Burnett Road. Ohio 735 would be removed from Burnett Road to the west. Option M would see US 35 eastbound lanes moved to parallel US 35 westbound lanes. Ohio 735 would be reduced to two lanes and a dia- mond interchange would be constructed on it. Roundabouts could be constructed at Burnett Road and Farm Road and two bridges would need built. Option P Mod 3 would realign US 35 to “improve geometry” said Thornton. Ohio 735 would be reduced to two lanes and a diamond interchange would be constructed on Farm Road. Roundabouts could be constructed at Burnett Road and Farm Road. The project would require the building of one new bridge. Project planners said nothing was set in stone and that stakeholders could write down their concerns and opinions on sheets for record. Another meeting for the general public is planned for the future as engineers and consultants continue exploring construction options. According to the meeting in terms of differences between plans, P Mod 3 would require the airport to be relocated. The other three plans would not, but would all have varying degrees of impact on the property. Option D would meet safety needs and continue use of a sharp mainline cure radius.

Stakeholders further discussed their concerns and perspectives with the project planners after the presentation was ﬁnished and turned their comments in on sheets. Any potential construction to be done would reportedly take place years down the road as project planners aim to meet projected trafﬁc growth and safety issues for the year 2040.

For pictures, etc., visit www.eratownandcountry.com OH-70122338 The target area of a previous study for the project extended northeast to US 35’s connection with State Route 7, US 35’s approach to the Silver Bridge, Farm Road, Burnett Road, State Route 735, Ohio 7’s entrances and exits onto US 35 and southwest onto Eastern Avenue in Gallipolis. According to crash history of the study, between 2014 and 2016, the highest three crash areas detailed in the study were at an intersection with Eastern Avenue entering the Silver Bridge Plaza totally at 23 collisions, a no trafﬁc light entrance into Ohio River Plaza from Eastern Avenue totaling at 20 collisions and the intersection of Burnett Road with highway State Route 735. Some peak trafﬁc observed by the study noted that around 15,000 travel Eastern Avenue between its intersection with the Silver Bridge Plaza and GKN Sinter Boulevard daily. Nearly 17,000 vehicles were counted daily utilizing US 35’s connection with the Silver Bridge just west of US 35’s connection with State Route 735 and Burnett Road. “The purpose of the project is to enhance safety for motorized trafﬁc within the Us 35 and State Route 7 interchange, enhance mobility and safety in the corridor and improve mobility, system linkage and access between US 35 and the City of Gallipolis,” said Thornton. “Ever since the reconﬁguration of the Silver Bridge Collapse, we’ve basically been doing safety studies every three to four years in this area,” said Craig at a meeting last year. “It never really has operated efﬁciently or correctly so we want to take a global look at the whole area and see what improvements can be made and if it’s working the way we would want it. So we engaged the ﬁrm of Mannik and Smith to see about options.” Of the options presented, option D would move US 35 westbound lanes to parallel existing US 35 eastbound lanes.

In a rematch of the 2018 Region 15 championship game, the Eastern baseball team gained a measure of revenge, as the Eagles defeated Whiteoak by a 10-0 count on Friday at VA Memorial Stadium in Ross County. The Eagles (15-0) — who also defeated WHS (18-3) in the regular season last April — escaped a bases loaded jam in the top of the ﬁrst on Friday and then struck for four runs on ﬁve hits in the bottom of the ﬁrst, with Blake Newland scoring the go-ahead run on a wild pitch. An RBI single by Newland and a two-out bases loaded walk in gave Eastern a 6-0 lead two innings into play. After back-to-back scoreless frames, a two-run single by Isaiah Fish gave EHS a 8-0 lead in the bottom of the ﬁfth. Following an RBI sac-ﬂy from Nate Durst, Brayden Smith singled home Conner Ridenour to cap off the Eagles’ 10-0 mercy rule victory in the bottom of the sixth. Matthew Blanchard was the winning pitcher of record in a 3.2 shut out innings for the Eagles, striking out six and walking four, while giving up two hits. Colton Reynolds ﬁnished the game for EHS, striking out four and walking two, while allowing one hit. Traeten Hamilton took the loss on the mound for the Wildcats.

Point Pleasant pounds Tigers, 14-5 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest. com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A rather convincing statement. The Point Pleasant baseball team pounded out 14 hits and scored at least three runs in four different innings on Thursday night while rolling to a 14-5 victory over visiting Chapmanville in a nonconference matchup in Mason County. The Big Blacks (166) led wire-to-wire in the seven-inning affair after plating four runs in the bottom half of the ﬁrst. Miles Williams started the frame with a single and advanced to second a Carter Smith walk, then Joel Beattie added a one-out single that loaded the bases. A pair of wild pitches allowed both Williams and Smith to score as Beattie advanced to third for a 2-0 advantage. Beattie and Hunter Blain scored on a twoout single by Wyatt Wilson that increased the lead out to 4-0 after one complete. The Tigers answered with a run in the top of the second as J.D. Ferrell reached on a ﬁelder’s choice and scored on an error that trimmed the deﬁcit down to three. The score remained that way until the bottom of the fourth as Brody Jeffers belted a solo homer to right-center with one away, then Wilson doubled in both Beattie and Blain while extending the lead out to 7-1. CHS plated two runs in the top of the ﬁfth to pull back to within four, but the Red and Black retaliated with a trio of scores in their half of the frame. An error allowed both Josh Wamsley and Williams to cross home plate for a 9-3 edge, then Smith came around on a sacriﬁce ﬂy to center by Morrow for a seven-run cushion. The Orange and Black put up two more runs in the top of the sixth, but PPHS answered with four runs and four hits in the home half of the sixth for a 14-5 advantage. Point Pleasant outhit the guests by a 14-7 overall margin and both teams committed ﬁve errors apiece in the contest. The Big Blacks stranded 10 runners on base, while Chapmanville left six on the bags. Morrow was the winning pitcher of record after allowing three unearned runs, ﬁve hits and one walk over ﬁve innings. Chase Berry took the loss for CHS after surrendering 10 runs (seven earned), 10 hits and four walks over four frames while fanning one.

MASON, W.Va. — One swing of the bat made all the difference. Senior Tanner Smith belted a go-ahead threerun homer in the bottom of the third while lifting the Wahama baseball team to its third straight victory on Thursday night during a 5-2 decision over visiting Parkersburg Catholic in a non-conference matchup at Claﬂin Stadium in Mason County. The host White Falcons (19-4) stranded runners at the corners in the ﬁrst and came up empty again in the second, but Cooper Peters started the third with a walk and advanced to third on a double by David Hendrick. With one away in the frame, Smith drove a 2-1 offering deep over the centerﬁeld fence — allowing the Red and White to secure a three-run advantage. The Crusaders (8-14) made their way into the scoring column in the fourth as Patrick Copen scored on an error for a 3-1 contest, then Ty Sturm singled home Clay Dexter with two away in the ﬁfth to close the gap down to a single run. WHS, however, tacked on some insurance in the home half of the ﬁfth as Tyler Bumgarner doubled in both Hendrick and Smith with one out — making it a 5-2 game through ﬁve complete. Both teams went down in order in the sixth, and PCHS stranded runners at the corners in the top of the seventh to complete the three-run outcome. The White Falcons outhit the guests by a 5-3 overall margin and also committed the only error in the game. Parkersburg Catholic stranded seven runners on base, while the hosts left only four on the bags. Smith was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two runs (one earned), two hits and ﬁve walks over six innings while striking out 14. Steven Garvin took the loss after surrendering ﬁve earned runs, ﬁve hits and three walks over ﬁve frames. Hendrick paced Wahama with two hits, with Smith, Bumgarner and Ethyn Barnitz also providing a safety apiece. Smith had a team-best three RBIs and also scored two runs.

Southern senior Jensen Anderson will be continuing his golf career after signing with the University of Rio Grande on Monday, April 22, during a small ceremony on the stage at Southern High School. Anderson — a four-year varsity letterwinner in golf — was a four-time All-Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division selection on the links while also guiding the Tornadoes to league titles over his ﬁnal two years with the program. Anderson competed in a trio of Division III district tournaments during his time with the Purple and Gold and was also the TVC Hocking Most Valuable Golfer his junior campaign. A multi-sport athlete, Anderson also has three years apiece with the varsity basketball and baseball programs — earning All-TVC Hocking honors in each sport at least once. Yet, when the time came to focus on competing at the collegiate level — Anderson reverted back to his ﬁrst love. More importantly, it was an opportunity to contribute immediately while Submitted photo Southern senior Jensen Anderson, seated second from right, will be continuing his golf career at the University of Rio Grande after signing with the RedStorm on Monday, April 22, at SHS. Jensen is joined in front, from left, by his brother Cade, as well as parents Brandy and Brian Anderson. Standing in back are Southern Local Schools Superintendent Tony Deem, Rio Grande golf coach Keith Wilson and SHS golf coach Jeff Caldwell. still being somewhat close to home. That, more than anything, made becoming a member of the RedStorm a less-than-difﬁcult choice. “This was an easy decision for me to make because Rio Grande has a good school and it’s close to home. The program is growing and I can be a part of that growth over the next four years,” Anderson said. “Obviously Coach (Keith) Wilson can help me shave a few strokes off my game and make me a better player. I want to be one of the best players in the league and I want to be the best player that I can be for Rio Grande. That’s what I’m hoping for anyways.” The RedStorm took a considerable step forward this year after ﬁnishing their second season of existence with a third place effort in the River States Conference tournament. SHS golf coach Jeff Caldwell believes that Anderson will provide a big boost for the young Rio Grande program, plus he also feels that having the chance to go in and contribute immediately will beneﬁt his former player. So, in all, Caldwell feels like this a win-win scenario — including for his own golf program. “It’s a pretty big deal for our program to have someone move on to the collegiate level. Jensen had worked really hard to become a really good golfer who has also been a really big part of our program the last four years,” Caldwell said. “Rio Grande is getting a young man with good work ethic, a competitive spirit and the will to get better. It’s a good situation for everyone involved.” Anderson acknowledges that the hard work has paid off, but he also knows that a lot of other people have helped him get to this moment in time. He was certainly appreciative of those others in discussing his signing. “I have had good coaches at Southern, plus my grandfather has taught me a lot about the game too as I was growing up,” Anderson said. “I feel prepared for this next step, but I owe a lot to the people who have helped get me to this point. I want to make them proud.” Anderson currently holds a 3.7 grade-point average and plans on majoring in Industrial Technology to pursue a career as an electrician. Jensen is the son of Brian and Brandy Anderson of Racine, Ohio. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Rule changes lead to more NFL aerial circus makes for 2nd round of DBs, WRs uncertainty at Talladega NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — So you want proof the NFL is an aerial circus? Try the second round of the draft. And some of the third. Of Friday night’s ﬁrst 32 picks, 11 were defensive backs charged with holding down pass catchers, of which seven were chosen. Plus another seven offensive linemen charged with protecting the guys who throw the ball. Only one of those, Drew Lock of Missouri, was taken in Round 2, going to Denver 42nd overall after the Broncos traded up with Cincinnati to get Lock. Some projections had him going in the opening round. “Certainly. It certainly does,” Lock said when asked about being even more motivated to prove himself now that he slipped so far; the previous quarterback selected was Dwayne Haskins at 15th. “I know the kind of player I am. I know the kind of player I’m going to be. This adds a little chip to the shoulder bigger than the one that’s already on there.” Many players might have that outlook, thinking they belonged in the opening round. Such as tackle Jawaan Taylor of Florida and guard Cody Ford of Oklahoma, who were on hand for the draft and had to wait much longer than other prospects. “It was a little devastating,” Taylor said of being ignored Thursday before the Jaguars grabbed him. “I just have so much conﬁdence in myself and I have high expectations for myself. I feel like I have something to prove … so I’m just looking forward to seeing what happens next.” As is Ford, who now belongs to Buffalo, which like Jacksonville traded up for the blocker. “I came back tonight because last night was a terrible disappointment,” Ford explained. I’ve worked so hard to walk across that stage, I didn’t want to leave and regret not being able to do that opportunity.” The defensive big guys dominated the opening round, then there was much more of a mix on Friday. Again, the SEC had the most picks with 13 in the second round, another six in the third, on top of the nine the previous night. “In the SEC, I had 35 career starts,” Taylor said. “I left a year early, but I feel like I was ready and prepared to play in the NFL because I played against a lot of great competition. Deﬁnitely playing at Florida, playing in such a great conference, prepared me for this role.” The second round began with cornerbacks Byron Murphy of Washington and Rock Ya-Sin of Temple going to Arizona and Indianapolis respectively. A bit later, that run continued with Central Michigan’s Sean Bunting, Clemson’s Trayvon Mullen, Vanderbilt’s JoeJuan Williams, LSU’s Greedy Williams — at one point considered the top defensive back in this crop — and Utah safety Marquise Blair. It didn’t subside until safety Juan Thornhill of Virginia went to the Chiefs on the penultimate selection in the second round. One spot later, Seattle moved up for Mississippi WR DK Metcalf, who was rated by some the best wideout in this group. Arizona ﬁnally pulled off the trade of QB Josh Rosen, expendable because the Cardinals took Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray to start proceedings on Thursday night. Miami sent the 62nd overall spot to the desert for Rosen, a ﬁrst-rounder a year ago. The Cardinals opted for UMass receiver Andy Isabella with that pick. Other than Lock, the only quarterback chosen Friday was West Virginia’s highly productive Will Grier to Carolina at No. 100, two spots from the end of the night. Teams began branching out in the third round — the ﬁnal four rounds will take place Saturday — with running backs getting some attention. But not too many: four, making for a measly six overall. Alabama’s Josh Jacobs went in the opening round, and teammate Damien Harris did so in the third. Penn State’s Miles Sanders was the only RB drafted in Round 2, by Philadelphia. Still available are North Carolina State quarterback Ryan Finley, and All-Americans tackle Mitch Hyatt of Clemson, guards Beau Benzschawel of Wisconsin and Bunchy Stallings of Kentucky, linebacker Ben BurrKirven of Washington, and safety Deionte Thompson of Alabama. TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Drivers are even less certain than usual about what to expect at Talladega Superspeedway given a new package that NASCAR is still adjusting on the ﬂy. To Clint Bowyer, that unpredictability at least makes it anything but boring. “If you woke up every day of your life and knew what the future held, that would be a boring life,” he said Friday. “That’s what’s cool about Talladega.” If that’s the case, the Cup race could be especially cool Sunday. Drivers turned practice laps Friday at Talladega Superspeedway, beginning to get some inkling of what the race might bring minus the restrictor plates . But NASCAR made tweaks after the opening practice session, adding a one-inch wicker to the spoiler and allowing teams to switch between the two gears until qualifying. Speeds ratcheted up in afternoon practice, when six cars topped 204 mph. “I think pretty much everyone coming here thought that there was a pretty large potential for an audible along the way,” Brad Keselowski, who lead active drivers with ﬁve Talladega wins, said in between sessions. “I’m not frustrated. I’m just focused.” Gone are the restrictor plates that had sapped horsepower to reduce speed since 1988, oftmaligned devices geared toward improving safety at the nation’s fastest tracks. They’ve been replaced by tapered spacers. So at Talladega and Daytona, in July, drivers will have 550 horsepower, about 140 more than with the restric- Ashley Fleming | AP File NASCAR driver Ricky Craven (41) flips into the catchfence in turn one of the Talladega Superspeedway during the Winston Select 500, in Talladega, Ala. in 1996. Also visible are Derrike Cope (12), Geoff Bodine (7), Brett Bodine (11), Jeff Gordon (24), and Jeff Purvis (44). The ever-present air of unpredictability at Talladega Superspeedway is even more pronounced than usual this weekend, with NASCAR having replaced the horsepower-sapping restrictor plates. tor plates. The changes didn’t go into force until after February’s Daytona 500. NASCAR has increased the height of the rear spoiler and the rear height of cars hoping to cut speeds. More changes came after their ﬁrst tryout on the 2.66mile track, famed in no small part for chaos and big wrecks. The changes have led to lots of questions and speculation about what the race will look like when money and series points are on the line. Matt DiBenedetto, who led a race-high 49 laps at Daytona, had a wary initial assessment after the ﬁrst practice: “It’s weird and it’s different.” “I think the runs are really big and I hope I’m wrong, but I think there’s going to be the potential for more crashes because the runs are so big,” DiBenedetto said. “When we led at Daytona, we were able to kind of manage both lanes and lead for a long time. I think it’s going to be harder to do that now.” Jimmie Johnson said the closing rate “is the highest I’ve ever experienced.” Talk that the new package could lead to a return to more tandem drafting seemed to have subsided after practice, when pairing up proved difﬁcult. “I don’t think that the tandem deal that we have all thought about it is going to be a reality but I do think that the cars are still pretty fast and handling will still come into play,” David Ragan said. Of course, it’s Talladega. Keselowski isn’t taking it for granted that Friday’s talk necessarily translates to Sunday’s race. “Whatever the sentiment is (Friday), the race will be the opposite,” he said. “Because all the drivers are listening and if you say they’re going to wreck everybody, then they’ll all get scared and they won’t run tight and wreck each other. If you say, ‘Oh, it’ll be just ﬁne, then they’ll all run over each other.’ It tends to go inverse of whatever the sentiment is in the week.” �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel NBA NBA Playoff Glance By The Associated Press All Times EDT FIRST ROUND (Best-of-7; x-if necessary) Eastern Conference Milwaukee 4, Detroit 0 Sunday, April 14: Milwaukee 121, Detroit 86 Wednesday, April 17: Milwaukee 120, Detroit 99 Saturday, April 20: Milwaukee 119, Detroit 103 Monday, April 22: Milwaukee 127, Detroit 104 Toronto 4, Orlando 1 Saturday, April 13: Orlando 104, Toronto 101 Tuesday, April 16: Toronto 111, Orlando 82 Friday, April 19: Toronto 98, Orlando 93 Sunday, April 21: Toronto 107, Orlando 85 Tuesday, April 23: Toronto 115, Orlando 96 Philadelphia 4, Brooklyn 1 Saturday, April 13: Brooklyn 111, Philadelphia 102 Monday, April 15: Philadelphia 145, Brooklyn 123 Thursday, April 18: Philadelphia 131, Brooklyn 115 Saturday, April 20: Philadelphia 112, Brooklyn 108 Tuesday, April 23: Philadelphia 122, Brooklyn 100 Boston 4, Indiana 0 Sunday, April 14: Boston 84, Indiana 74 Wednesday, April 17: Boston 99, Indiana 91 Friday, April 19: Boston 104, Indiana 96 Sunday, April 21: Boston 110, Indiana 106 Western Conference Golden State 3, L.A.

EURZVH�MREV��SRVW�\RXU�UHVXPH��JHW�DGYLFH jobmatchohio.com �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Steelers begin life after Brown, draft WR Diontae Johnson story. “At the end of the day, I can only be me,” Johnson said. “Do what I do best.” Namely, attack defenses in a way that renders his lack of breakaway speed — at least according to the stopwatch — meaningless. The player who ran a so-so 4.53-second, 40-yard dash won over the Steelers’ coaching staff with his ability to win one-onone battles at the line of scrimmage. Head coach Mike Tomlin noticed Johnson ﬁrst then sent wide receivers coach Darry Drake to do some digging. What Drake found turned him into Johnson’s biggest advocate in the team’s draft war room. “He’s a tremendously gifted young man,” Drake said. “The most natural catcher that I’ve seen in a while. … He doesn’t have great timed speed but he plays the game fast. He’s really, really good against the press and this is a press league. DBs walk up to your face and try to ﬁngerprint you. He gets off bumps, gets in and out of his breaks as well as anybody I’ve seen in a long time.” PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers expect third-round picks Diontae Johnson and Justin Layne to get their hands on the ball. That’s where the similarities in their job descriptions end. The Steelers began the process of reloading following the high-proﬁle departure of star wide receiver Antonio Brown by taking Johnson with the 66th overall selection in the NFL draft on Friday night then took aim at a secondary in serious need of a ballhawk or two by grabbing Layne with the 83rd pick. Johnson understands the parallels he shares with Brown. Both are 5-foot-10. Both are around 180 pounds. Both played collegiately in the Mid-American Conference. Both posted 40-yard dash times that didn’t exactly dazzle pro scouts. Yet Johnson — selected with a pick the Steelers acquired when they sent Brown to Oakland in March — knows that’s where the parallels end. Brown is a great player. The three-year letterman at Toledo is eager to write his own Sunday, April 28, 2019 7B Browns select LSU’s Williams in second round BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Greedy Williams has already shown the Browns his recovery skills. After accidentally missing Cleveland’s phone call telling him he was about to be drafted in the second round, the LSU cornerback got in touch with the front desk at the team’s headquarters and asked to speak with general manager John Dorsey. Then his emotions overwhelmed him. “Greedy was giddy,” quipped Browns coach Freddie Kitchens. Considered the SEC’s best cover cornerback, Williams was selected with the No. 46 in the NFL draft on Friday night when the Browns got in on a run of defensive backs. Fearing he might lose a player he wanted, Dorsey traded the No. 49 and No. 144 picks to Indianapolis and selected Williams, a second-team AP All-American last season. The Browns plan to pair Williams with Denzel Ward, last year’s No. 4 overall pick who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie. “Oh my God, me and Denzel Ward are going to tear up the league,” Williams said. “You can go man on the outside all day, and we will lock down those receivers.” That’s not all the 21-year-old had to offer. In Cleveland, he’ll join fellow LSU alums Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, and like the two star wide receivers, Williams doesn’t lack conﬁdence. “I know one thing: the Browns are going to the Super Bowl this year,” Williams said on a conference call from Shreveport, Louisiana. He repeated the same prediction two more times. In the third round, the Browns chose Brigham Young linebacker Sione Takitaki, who had 118 tackles last season. The 6-foot-1, 238-pounder recorded 19 tackles in BYU’s bowl win over Western Michigan. “This s a physical, physical football player,” said assistant general manager Eliot Wolf. “He plays with violence and we felt like that was something that kind of separated him from other linebackers in this class.” Takitaki had some issues when he ﬁrst arrived at BYU. He was brieﬂy kicked out of school after being involved in a ﬁght and an arrest, but the Browns are comfortable he’s matured — on and off the ﬁeld. “He really changed his life around,” Wolf said. “This is a kid who came in immature. He’s from California and went to Utah. Probably wasn’t ready to be away from home. And the cool thing about this guy is he is a success story at BYU. You talk to anyone there, they kind of didn’t think he was going to make it after his ﬁrst year or so, and he completely turned his life around, became a team captain this year. He was just that guy in the program.” Takitaki credits his wife, Alyssa, for changing him. “I got really lucky, I met a great girl,” he said. “She was always pushing me to be better. We just ﬁt. She’s a great woman.” Williams, who earned his nickname as a child for drinking too much milk, said he was shocked to get the call from the Browns. And after he reconnected with them, it began to sink in that his life had changed. “I was just overwhelmed,” he said. “When I got the phone all from the 216, I was just ﬁlled with a lot of emotion. I’m still replaying the phone call.” Dorsey feels Williams is perfectly suited to play one of the game’s most demanding — and unforgiving — positions. “In all the evaluations, he has played some of the top caliber receivers in the SEC,” Dorsey said. “If you really go watch him play the game, he is ﬂuid. He is easy. He is a smooth moving corner and he does it effortlessly. Corners in the National Football League have to cover and this guy has all the skill sets to cover players.” New Browns coach Freddie Kitchens is conﬁdent Williams can handle the leap from college to pros. “You are going to watch these SEC receivers now start going off the board and he has covered every damn one of them. That is the type of athlete he has to cover when he gets into the National Football League,” he said. “It is not going to be too big for him, but he is not a ﬁnished product either. There is always an adjustment for any rookie.” Dorsey was unsuccessful in trading into Thursday’s ﬁrst round because the asking price was too much. He didn’t have a pick after dealing the No. 17 selection to the New York Giants in March as part of the deal for Beckham. He was patient as the second round unfolded, but when it started to look like he might lose out on Williams, Dorsey acted swiftly. “Because of the way the game has changed, you realistically have to have ﬁve corners on your team,” he said. “This just gives you another extra guy who can cover.” The Browns enter Saturday’s ﬁnal day with ﬁve picks — one in the fourth round, two in the ﬁfth and one each in the sixth and seventh. Bengals trade down, take tight end in second round CINCINNATI (AP) — One of the few bright spots in Cincinnati’s offense was Joe Mixon leading the AFC in rushing last season. The Bengals put the run game front-and-center with their ﬁrst two picks in the NFL draft. A day after taking left tackle Jonah Williams with the 11th overall pick, the Bengals traded down Friday and got Drew Sample from Washington — a tight end known for his blocking — in the second round. They ﬁlled their biggest need in the third round, getting linebacker Germaine Pratt from N.C. State. For the third straight year , they traded down in the second round, dropping 10 spots so Denver could move up and take quarterback Drew Lock, knowing Sample would still be available . The 6-foot-5, 251-pound tight end was a key blocker in the Huskies’ ground- based offense, which he ﬁgured could lead to him slipping to a later round. Sample caught only 46 passes with ﬁve touchdowns during four years at Washington. “I deﬁnitely took pride in being able to be a focal point in that regard,” Sample said on a conference call. “I took pride in opening holes for Myles (Gaskin) and our other running backs. That’s what I was able to do at Washington.” Cincinnati’s offense ﬁnished 26th overall last season, a year after ﬁnishing last. The passing game ﬁnished 24th in the league, with receiver A.J. Green missing seven games with a toe injury and quarterback Andy Dalton missing ﬁve with a thumb injury. Their best player on offense was Mixon, who ran for 1,168 yards with eight touchdowns. The Bengals had the running game in mind when they picked Williams and Sample. Mark Humphrey | AP Alabama tackle Jonah Williams poses with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after the Cincinnati Bengals selected Williams in the first round at the NFL football draft Thursday in Nashville, Tenn. “We want to be a dominant run offense,” offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said. “These guys help us do that. They improve that ability.” The Bengals were looking to add a tight end at some point in the draft. They’ve brought back Tyler Eifert on another one-year deal after yet another injury-shortened season, this time with a broken ankle. Eifert has played only 14 games in the last three seasons because of back and ankle injuries. C.J. Uzomah had 43 catches for 439 yards with three touchdowns last season and got a three-year extension. The Bengals also were looking to get a linebacker — their most glaring need with Vontaze Burﬁct gone — in an early round. Pratt played safety his ﬁrst two seasons at N.C. State and switched to linebacker his junior year. He started as a senior and ﬁnished as the ACC’s top-rated linebacker with 104 tackles and six sacks. The Bengals missed out on a chance to take either LSU’s Devin White or Michigan’s Devin Bush, the top two linebackers available in the opening round. White went to Tampa Bay with the No. 5 pick, and the Steelers swooped in and trade up to No. 10 — one pick ahead of the Bengals — to get Bush. The Bengals ﬁlled their biggest need as the second day of the draft wound down. Carnival of Hope Sponsored by Working Together…Bringing Healing, Bringing Hope!

We were coveting him early in the day and tracking him as the draft goes on.” The 6-foot-3, 240pound linebacker is known for his ability to cover tight ends and receivers in the passing game, a reﬂection of his two seasons as a safety. Pratt played more like a linebacker at times in his ﬁrst two seasons at N.C. State. “I always knew for me to be successful, I had to switch positions because I wasn’t going to be a safety,” he said. Pratt will get a chance to start, given the Bengals’ needs at linebacker. Anarumo thinks he could play middle linebacker or outside because of his versatility. “Like with every rookie, we want to see what they do well early so they don’t lose conﬁdence,” he said. �SPORTS 8B Sunday, April 28, 2019 3 QBs, lots of defenders highlight 1st round of draft MLB Tampa Bay New York Toronto Boston Baltimore W 16 14 12 11 10 L 9 11 14 15 16 Minnesota Cleveland Detroit Chicago Kansas City W 13 14 12 9 8 L 9 10 12 14 17 Seattle Houston Oakland Texas Los Angeles W 17 15 14 12 10 L 11 10 14 12 16 New York Philadelphia Atlanta Washington Miami W 13 13 12 11 8 L 11 12 13 13 17 St. Louis Chicago Pittsburgh Milwaukee Cincinnati W 15 12 12 13 11 L 10 11 11 13 14 Los Angeles Arizona San Diego Colorado San Francisco W 16 15 15 12 11 L 11 11 11 14 14 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .640 — — .560 2 ½ .462 4½ 3 .423 5½ 4 .385 6½ 5 Central Division Pct GB WCGB .591 — — .583 — — .500 2 2 .391 4½ 4½ .320 6½ 6½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .607 — — .600 ½ — .500 3 2 .500 3 2 .385 6 5 ___ NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .542 — — .520 ½ 1½ .480 1½ 2½ .458 2 3 .320 5½ 6½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .600 — — .522 2 1½ .522 2 1½ .500 2½ 2 .440 4 3½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .593 — — .577 ½ — .577 ½ — .462 3½ 3 .440 4 3½ AMERICAN LEAGUE Thursday’s Games Boston 7, Detroit 3 Cleveland 2, Houston 1 L.A.

(AP) — A Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at the top, two more QBs along the way — and a whole lot of guys who like nothing better than putting passers on the ground. That was the look for the ﬁrst round of the NFL draft Thursday night. Arizona deﬁed NFL custom and at least temporarily created a quarterback quandary by selecting Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray to start proceedings in a wet and wild selection show. As thousands of fans withstood rain that began just about when Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke Murray’s name, the Cardinals spent a second straight high pick on a signal caller. Arizona moved up from 15th overall to 10th in 2018 to grab Josh Rosen. NFL teams simply don’t do that, but with a new coach in collegetrained Kliff Kingsbury, the Cardinals made the bold move. At least until they likely move Rosen elsewhere in a trade. “My job is to come in every day, work hard and get better each and every day, do what I can to make this team better,” Murray said. “I’ve known Josh since high school, so me and him are cool. We got along really well, so I’ve always been fond of him. But us being teammates now, I can’t control anything but going in there and working hard.” Resplendent in a pink suit — nothing close to the Cardinals red he will be wearing in Ari- 16-24 YEARS OLD? zona — Murray was a ﬁrst-round baseball pick by the Oakland A’s. He becomes the 22nd Heisman Trophy winner to go ﬁrst overall and is the second straight Sooners quarterback to pull it off: Baker Mayﬁeld went to Cleveland in 2018. “BACK TO BACK!!!!! CONGRATS K1!!!! Well deserved my brotha!!!” Mayﬁeld tweeted. As for bypassing baseball, Murray has no qualms about the decision. “I love playing multiple sports. I grew up playing multiple sports,” he said. “I just think there’s no reason to limit yourself to one sport. I love to compete, so it wasn’t a big deal for me.” With quarterbacks so in demand these days, the Giants might have reached a bit for Duke’s Daniel Jones at the sixth spot, and the Redskins did just the opposite to get Dwayne Haskins. They stayed put at No. 15 and the Ohio State star fell to them. Perhaps serendipitously, he held a bowling party about 30 miles away Thursday night. “I’m just going to work on getting my head in that playbook,” said Haskins, a one-year starter for the Buckeyes. “I’m going to do all I can to get physically and mentally ready for the upcoming season and just motivate my guys that’s coming in with me in this rookie class.” After Murray, though, defense became the order of the night. Of the ﬁrst 20 picks, 12 were for that side of the ball, all of them pass- rushing threats. Ohio State edge rusher Nick Bosa went second to San Francisco as expected. The 49ers have used a ﬁrst-round selection on four defensive linemen in the past ﬁve drafts. “I see him as a threedown player,” general manager John Lynch said. “He’s got to come in and do it, but he plays the run well. His best strength is rushing the passer, but he can play all three downs and play in all situations.” Bosa’s older brother, Joey, plays for the Chargers and was the 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year. Their father also played in the NFL. “Good genes, man,” Bosa said with a laugh. “It was just excitement all around. My brother wanted me to go higher than he did (third overall), so just for my dream to come true and my family to be there to watch, it was pretty great.” Bosa is the highest Ohio State draft pick since offensive tackle Orlando Pace went No. 1 to St. Louis in 1997. He missed all but three games last season with a core muscle injury, but already had exhibited the kind of playmaking that lifts players to loft status. Such as the second pick in the draft. The Jets, widely speculated to trade the third pick, used it on Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. Not even a starter until 2018, he won the Outland Trophy last season and is Alabama’s highest-drafted defensive player since linebacker Cornelius Bennett went No. 2 overall in 1987. More defense with Clemson end Clelin Ferrell going to Oakland and LSU linebacker Devin White to Tampa Bay, both addressing huge needs. The Giants, looking for Eli Manning’s eventual successor, took Jones, the Senior Bowl MVP. Jones generally was not considered a ﬁrst-round prospect when the college season ended. But he’s been tutored at Duke by David Cutcliffe, who also coached Peyton and Eli Manning in college. “I think it’s a tremendous opportunity to learn for a young quarterback, Jones said of Eli Manning. “He is a guy that’s had a whole lot of success in the NFL and there is a reason for that. I’m looking to understand that and do my best to learn as much as I can from him while he’s in New York.” Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen followed to Jacksonville, then it was Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson to Detroit and Houston DT Ed Oliver to Buffalo. Finally, in the 10th spot, a trade: Pittsburgh sending the 20th spot, the 53rd selection and a third-rounder next year to Denver. The Steelers, with Hall of Famer Joe Greene making the announcement, selected Michigan linebacker Devin Bush — a player apparently coveted by AFC North rival Cincinnati at No. 11. The Bengals grabbed Alabama tackle Jonah Williams instead. IN NEED OF A JOB?
