On Monday evening, Rutland Village Council voted 5-0 to a settlement agreement with regard to the disputed former bus garage property which is located next to the Rutland Civic Center. The action came following a lengthy executive session in which council members and Mayor Mike Biggs met with legal counsel for the village, Richard Clagg and Rusty Miller. Terms of the settlement agreement were not discussed in open session, and were not released by the village following the meeting as all involved parties have not yet approved the settlement. Current Mayor Biggs was to contact former Mayor April Burke, who was a party to the civil action, for her approval and signature with regard to the matter. The Commissioners could act on the settlement agreement as soon See COUNCIL | 5 See WARRANTS | 5 Hoagland announces $2.6 billion State Capital Budget Staff Report COLUMBUS — State Senator Frank Hoagland (R-Mingo Junction) announced the introduction of the state’s Capital Budget, a $2.62 billion investment in Ohio’s infrastructure and local community projects.

Shannon Spaun placed the winning bid of $171,000 for the nearly 13 acre property which includes the Bob Roberts Field. Area car dealer Mark Porter was also on hand bidding on the property, which started off at a $100,000 opening bid. Spaun said he has no specific plans for the property at this time, but that the future use of the field and property would be for the good of the village. Meigs Local Treasurer Roy Johnson explained that the next step is for Spaun to place the 10 percent down on the property, which was to happen on Tuesday, followed by the Board formally accepting the sale at their upcoming meeting. Spaun will have 30 days to pay the remaining balance for the property. Attorney Chris Tenoglia handled the sale for the district, including the paperwork and the actual auction. This was the second time the Board had attempted to sell the property, with the first attempt in 2013 being unsuccessful. Other than the field being used for the flag football program each fall, the field and property were considered to be a liability from an insurance point for the district. Shannon Spaun, third from left, who purchased the property, is pictured with Pomeroy Mayor Don Anderson, Attorney Chris Tenoglia and Meigs Local Treasurer Roy Johnson. The first game on the Pomeroy field was played in 1950. In 1990, the field and stadium were rededicated and named for longtime educator, coach, and athletic booster Bob Roberts. The stadium was home to the Pomeroy Panthers football team from 1950-1966 and the Marauders from 19672011, when the team moved to the new stadium at Rocksprings.

POMEROY — The Meigs Community Prevention Coalition recently met for its regularly scheduled meeting discussing updates on upcoming events. Lindsay Coppick from Integrated Services informed the coalition of an event she has planned for the youth of the community on Aug. 6, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Pomeroy Parking Lot. Coppick shared she has the parking lot reserved and has many planned booths to be set up. She said would like to have Meigs Inflatables at the event as well as music provided by Rockin’ Reggie. Food will be available to those who attend the event, Coppick said Los Cuervos Motorcycle Club has agreed to grill hot dogs. She is currently seeking out further food donations and would like to provide each youth at the event with a drawstring bag. Community Coordinator at Health Recovery Services (HRS) and coalition member Reggie Robinson shared with Coppick the coalition will assist her in anyway she needs to help pull the event together. Robin Harris, Executive Director of Gallia-Jackson-Meigs Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services, updated the coalition on the plans for the Meigs Fair Prevention Day to be held Aug. 14. Harris shared she and Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood found it would be best to separate the groups who are planning the daytime and night time activities, since they are geared towards different age groups. She added backpacks will not be handed out, but she would still like to give out another item which is to be determined. Harris said the event would be most beneficial if a message is presented to the youth See EVENTS | 3 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, March 7, 2018 OBITUARIES SHARON KATHRYN (HOLTER) RIFFLE RACINE — Sharon Kathryn (Holter) Riffle went to be with our Lord on March 3, 2018.

Daily Sentinel Racine Grange meeting held RACINE — Legislative affairs dominated the recent meeting of Racine Grange. The Governor is proposing to consolidate the state board of education with two other boards and eliminate election of any members to the board by the public. This would create the ability of the Ohio Governor to control education in the state. Members objected to the elimination of local control over education and passed a resolution to oppose this proposal. Concern over the statement of Congress due to the rule in the U.S. Senate that allows forty percent of Senators to stop any legislation in that body was discussed. This rule is not a Constitutional one, but one created in 1922. A resolution was passed calling for a simple majority to determine the passage of a Senate bill. It was revealed that it is currently against Ohio law to start a vehicle and then leave it running without a driver. Members expressed their need to start vehicles in winter to get them warm before driving. Therefore, members passed a resolution calling for a repeal of this law. Members spoke of concerns about the U.S. Postal System’s decline in service. There is no longer any one- or two-day delivery of first class mail. Mail now takes three to five days even to the same post office where the letter was mailed. A local postmaster revealed that despite technology, the cuts in the number of employees in the post office have caused this. When the U.S. Postal Service was created, it was required to operate on a break even basis. Since the U.S. post office is a requirement in the Constitution, members approved a resolution asking the federal government to provide subsidies to the post office in order to improve service. The legislative agent revealed that a power plant was proposed for Letart Falls three times since 1911 with none ever occurring. Power companies have the power of eminent domain to force property owners to sell out. This was done in Great Bend in the 1960s and again in Letart Falls a few years ago. These power companies then tear down all the homes and buildings, destroying the tax base. Members felt that these companies should have to divest themselves of property obtained for unbuilt power plants and approved a resolution asking that the state put this into law. The lack of barbers was a concern. A local barber said that old certificate rules required an extensive internship. However, new certification requires barbers to follow certification rules for cosmetology that have MEIGS BRIEFS Editor’s Note: Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

Visiting hours will be on Thursday from 6-8 p.m. at the funeral home. shorter internships but require knowledge of other cosmetology areas that have nothing to do with barbering. This is causing a lack of new barbers. The Grange approved a resolution asking the state to return to the former certification rules for barbers. Members discussed the governor’s proposed new gun laws as a knee-jerk reaction to the recent school shooting in Florida. One of the proposals would allow anyone to complain about a gun of another person causing him to lose his gun and then have to defend himself to get it back. The legislative agent was asked to look more into this and report back. There was a discussion on the opiate crisis. It was also revealed that the Fairness Doctrine of the Federal Communications Commission is likely to be overturned. The next meeting of Racine Grange will feature annual inspection with a dinner at 6:30 p.m. preceding the meeting. There will be election of delegates to the state grange convention. Olivia Yost has been asked by the state grange to attend the National Grange Fly-in in Washington D.C. in April.

(AP) — West Virginia’s striking teachers cheered and applauded Tuesday as lawmakers acted to end a nine-day classroom walkout, agreeing to grant them 5 percent pay hikes that are also being extended to all state workers. A huge crowd of teachers packing the Capitol chanted jubilantly, sang John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and some even wept for joy at the settlement. It came on the ninth day of a crippling strike that idled hundreds of thousands of students, forced parents to scramble for child care and cast a spotlight on government dysfunction in one of the poorest states in the country. The West Virginia teachers, some of the lowest-paid in the nation, appeared to have strong public backing throughout their walkout. “We love our kids!” teachers chanted, hugging one another and cheering. “We overcame, we overcame!” said one teacher, Danielle Harris, calling it a victory for students as well. “It shows them how democracy is supposed to work, that you don’t just bow down and lay down for anybody. They go the best lesson that they could ever had even though they were out of school.” Teachers walked off the job Feb. 22, balk- ing at a bill signed by Gov. Jim Justice to raise their pay 2 percent in the first year as they also complained about rising health insurance costs. Justice responded last week with an offer to raise teacher pay 5 percent, gaining swift House approval though the Senate countered with 4 percent — a number rejected by the teacher unions, extending their walkout. “I believe in you and I love our kids,” Justice told teachers after Tuesday’s agreement on 5 percent was announced. He planned a news conference later Tuesday. Several county school systems announced they would be reopening Wednesday. It wasn’t immediately clear whether all 55 county school systems would reopen. A state Department of Education spokeswoman didn’t return an email message. Missed school days will be made up, either at the end of the school year or by shortening spring break, depending on decisions by individual counties. After a six-member conference committee agreed to the raises, the House of Delegates subsequently passed 5 percent raises for teachers, school service personnel and state troopers on a 99-0 vote. The Senate followed, voting 34-0. State teachers haven’t had a salary increase in four years. they had received a call of a female with altered mental state possibly on meth. A deputy arrived and secured the scene, the squad arrived and checked the female. She refused transport to the ER and the deputy did not see any criminal violations in plain view while in the home. All units left the scene, no further action was taken on this call. Domestic — Dispatch received a call of a possible domestic on State Route 124 Racine.

However, Rebecca Ours, age 44, of Racine became upset with one of the deputies and became disorderly. After several warnings she was arrested for Disorderly Conduct After Warning and transported to the sheriff’s office where she was cited for the alleged offense and released.

Regrettably, it can take a little time for this realization to sink into the human brain in general, and — no offense, I’m just talking in statistical terms here — into the brain of the adolescent male in particular. This isn’t to say that most kids would even dream of doing something so dumb and dangerous as to threaten a shooting. But enough “copycat” threats have been leveled in the wake of the Feb. 14Parkland, Fla., massacre to make me wonder whether parents need to add yet another entry to the exhaustive list of sober “talks” they need to have with their kids. This one: Foolish Gun Talk Can Screw Up Your Life. On Sunday, a 15-year-old student was arrested in Weatherford, Texas, for posting a threat on Snapchat in which he said he would “shoot up” a local high school on the following day. The kid told sheriff’s officials it was a joke. Two 15-year-old Granbury, Texas, boys were arrested Friday after making a social media threat against their school. If cases like these have ever been handled with a call to the parents and a good talking-to, they aren’t now: These kids are now being held in juvenile detention centers, facing felony charges of making terroristic threats. It’s teens who are the most pointedly affected right now: by the Parkland shooting itself, and by an evolving sense of activism, and for some, by a powerful temptation to make stupid and irreversible copycat threats. Telling authorities they didn’t mean it won’t buy anybody a pass, because the authorities cannot afford to make the wrong call. I’m not talking here about kids who are seriously troubled and bent on violence. The 19-yearold Parkland shooter’s rampage didn’t surprise the people who knew him personally — he had been telegraphing his plan for years. But it’s precisely because so many observers and institutions failed to stop him that even a minor margin for “red flag” tolerance has been erased. If an otherwise “good kid” makes a dumb shootingup-the-school joke right now, few will care about his record. They’ll care about what he (or she) said. A South Carolina ninth-grader was arrested Feb. 15, after he posted a Snapchat photo warning, “Round 2 of Florida Tomorrow.” He told authorities he thought he was being funny. An 11-year-old Florida girl wrote a threatening note — “I will bring a gun to school and shoot all of you” — and slipped it under an assistant principal’s office. She said other kids put her up to it. An 18-year-old in Montana was arrested after posting several threats to “shoot up” his high school. According to court records, he told police he was joking and he was sorry to have scared anybody. The rash of similar school threats over the last few weeks is genuinely startling. In the Dallas area alone, five teens were arrested for either having guns at school or making threats within 24 hours of the Florida shooting. Were they dangerous copycats, kids so seriously disturbed they viewed the Florida killer as an inspiration? Or has threatening gun talk and carrying weapons become another titillating source of hallway rumor and internet chat, like sex and drugs? I don’t know. Parents and teachers and principals and cops can’t be sure, either, which is why they cannot afford to take any chances. The likelihood of students being threatened with violence in American schools remains statistically remote, and some studies suggest it’s actually on the decline. Plain facts show that children face more danger in their homes than at school. Which is not particularly reassuring for stressed-out parents, or for a public half-enraged, half-numbed by unhinged gun massacres. There are some sad, frightening people out there. That the worst of them achieve instant fame is an indictment of our culture. That there are some teenagers out there who find them inspiring is deeply disturbing. Some teenagers, though, still have it in their heads that this is some kind of social media game. Those are the ones who thought it was a joke or just wanted to impress the other kids. They are See THREATS | 5 THEIR VIEW Haddish’s three-peat was realest Oscars moment Tiffany Haddish’s white dress accomplished what 1,000 hamfisted Oscars skits could never do: Make it a show for regular folks. With Maya Rudolph, Haddish presented the Oscars on Sunday night for animated and live action short films, and she did so wearing the same white gown she wore to host “Saturday Night Live” in November and to the “Girls Trip” premiere the previous summer. “I wore it on the red carpet for ‘Girls Trip’ and my whole team, they told me, ‘Tiffany, you cannot wear that dress on ‘SNL.’ You already wore it.

The civil action was filed in Meigs County Common Pleas Court by the commissioners, who operate the former Rutland water and sewer system, in January 2017 to stop the sale of the property in question to Dollar General. While the commissioners contended that they were the rightful owners of the building and property, the village claimed ownership to the building and the land.

NEW YORK (AP) — Big Ten teams have a longer layoff than they are accustomed to heading into the NCAA Tournament. That’s the trade-off the conference had to make to play its tournament at Madison Square Garden for the first time. In years past, the Big Ten championship was the final conference tournament game played before the NCAA field was selected. On TV, it was the lead-in for CBS to the Selection Sunday show. After playing in Sunday’s championship game, Michigan and Purdue will have at least 10 days off before playing an NCAA Tournament game on March 15 or 16. Michigan coach John Beilein, whose Wolverines won the Big Ten title on Sunday, has coached teams with similar a layoff at Canisius and Richmond and didn’t seem too concerned about his guys cooling off. Michigan has won nine straight. “In a perfect world that would be great,” Beilien said when asked if he preferred to play this Thursday or Friday. “But as I said to the crowd, to play in this arena in front of that crowd, which was, I feel, was very pro-Michigan, that’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. So it will be worth the wait. “I’ll remind everybody, there’s been some great NCAA Tournament teams that win their tournament like this Sunday or this Monday: Gonzaga; Wichita State; Butler. These teams all have been great NCAA Tournament teams … You work around it. We’ll give our guys some rest, but we’ll be practicing.” Michigan State and Ohio State are also expected to receive at-large bids to the NCAAs. Michigan State was knocked out of the Big Ten Tournament on Saturday and Ohio State was eliminated Friday. “I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Hall of Fame Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “And the best part is we’re on spring break next week. “So we might just go to the beach, East Lansing, and see if we can play a little beach basketball and we’re going to do something. We talked about See LAYOFF | 7 QB derby injects urgency into spring practice for Buckeyes COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A three-way quarterback derby promises to lend some intrigue to Ohio State’s spring practice that opened on Tuesday morning. Other key position battles will take place in the preseason, but none will be more talked about than the competition that could determine the Buckeyes’ starter under center for the next two or three seasons. Dwayne Haskins Jr. has to be the favorite to replace four-year starter J.T. Barrett as the competition begins. He was the backup to Barrett last year and rallied the Buckeyes to a win over Michigan after Barrett was hurt. Haskins, who will be a redshirt sophomore in the fall, is a traditional drop-back quarterback with a cannon for a right arm. He’ll be pushed by Joe Burrow, a redshirt junior who went into fall camp last season as Burrow’s backup but was supplanted when he broke his hand before the season started. Add the flashy, dual-threat Tate Martell to the mix, too. Redshirted in his first season, Martell made a name for himself running the scout team, with upper-class teammates often commenting about his obvious skills. “We all know Dwayne kind of finished the season and finished it strong against the team up north,” Meyer said Tuesday. “Joe, before his injury, was neck-and-neck. We’re trying to do the best we can to make sure they have equal opportunity to compete, and I’m going to throw Tate Martell’s name in there, too. He’s earned the right to compete.” Look for one of them to transfer after spring practice, most likely Burrow, who is on track to graduate from Ohio State in May. That would give him two seasons to play as a graduate student elsewhere without sitting out a year. Burrow is from Athens, Ohio, where his father is defensive coordinator for Frank Solich at Ohio University. Meyer acknowledged that possibility and said he will try to give Burrow an assessment after spring practice so he can act accordingly. “I’d love to have them both in the fall and have them keep battling it out like that,” he said. “We’ve had that before here, and I just think it keeps people on pins and needles.” But first the three will face off in 13 scheduled workouts that culminate in the annual Scarlet and Gray scrimmage on April 14 at Ohio Stadium, putting them in the spotlight before as many as 100,000 fans.

(AP) — Kevin Harvick once lay in wait for Greg Biffle on the pit road wall at Bristol Motor Speedway. Harvick was angry — he always seemed to be angry in the early days of his NASCAR career — and he was going to make sure Biffle knew it the moment the race was over. How did Harvick send his message? He literally hurdled over Biffle’s car into a scrum and lunged at Biffle’s throat. The Biffle incident back in 2002 would most certainly be on Harvick’s highlight reel. In his first two years in Cup, Harvick became the first driver to be “parked” by NASCAR for aggressive driving and he once tried to fight Ricky Rudd, usually considered a losing proposition. Harvick’s nickname has always been “Happy” and he was anything but in those early days. He said after the 2002 parking — for intentionally wrecking Coy Gibbs in a Truck Series race at Martinsville and generally being a thorn in NASCAR’s side — that it was the wakeup call the 25-year-old needed. “I haven’t been racing since I was 5 years old and made it this far in my career to throw it all away now,” Harvick said Conf 27-11 22-18 14-25 10-30 13-29 San Antonio 100, Memphis 98 Utah 94, Orlando 80 Portland 108, L.A.

But here Harvick is now, 100 NASCAR national wins later, and one of the most consistent drivers of his era. Harvick doesn’t have the statistics to show just how exceptional a race car driver he is in part because he came along at the same time as another Californian. Jimmie Johnson, with a laid-back Southern California persona, debuted a year after Harvick and has collected seven championships along the way. Harvick has so far managed just one championship. But he’s a Daytona 500 winner, a two-time Coca-Cola 600 winner, a Southern 500 winner and a Brickyard 400 winner. That’s a Hall of Fame career right there, and one many might not have seen coming when he was thrust into a miserable situation at what should have been the best time of his life. Harvick was on schedule to drive a Cup car for Richard Childress in 2002, but when Dale Earnhardt was killed on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, that plan was scrapped. Harvick got Earnhardt’s ride the next week, went forward with his scheduled Las Vegas wedding the week after that, and won his first Cup race the week after that. It was a whirlwind three weeks for the 24-year-old from Bakersfield, California, and when he had to time to take a breath, there was a lot going on. Maybe that’s why he snapped so easily back then. And although some of that went away, he never really changed who he was. Harvick continued to stir the pot in the garage, spoke his mind even when he didn’t have anything nice to say, and never lacked for confidence. It was just over three years ago when Harvick, locked into the championship battle, shoved Brad Keselowski from behind to trigger a melee between Keselowski and Jeff Gordon. Harvick just stood back and watched the chaos between two drivers he was racing for the title. The next race was at Phoenix, where Harvick had to win, at a track here he always wins, and Harvick didn’t want to answer any questions. He didn’t want to talk about what role he might have had in the Keselowski scuffle, or how his championship was one race away from slipping through his fingers. But as he thought more about it, Harvick, by then a father to a young son, saw the bigger picture. To be a role model to Keelan, he had to be a professional and do the right thing. So he met his media obligations in Phoenix, won the race, and won the championship a week later. Harvick and his wife welcomed a daughter this offseason and he’s now a 42-year-old father of two. His future is in broadcasting and Fox already uses him quite a bit in its booth. But he’s still got racing left; he’s certainly shown that out of the gate this season with two dominant wins. An eight-time Phoenix winner, including a streak of six wins in eight races, Harvick hasn’t been to victory lane at the track in three whole races. He might snap that streak Sunday, and if he doesn’t, he might have something sarcastic to say about a competitor, his own crew, maybe even NASCAR. That’s just who Harvick is, 17 years after his whirlwind and emotional and untenable promotion to the big leagues. He made it work, doing it his way, and that’s likely how he’ll close his career.

ATTORNEY FOR PLAINTIFF: Douglas W. Little, LITTLE, SHEETS & BARR, LLP, P.O. Box 686, Pomeroy, OH 45769, Telephone: (740) 992-6689 02/28/18, 03/07/18, 03/14/18 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Wednesday, March 7, 2018 10 Brutal Big 12 Tournament could decide NCAA tourney fates KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Texas Tech spent a good portion of the regular season leading the Big 12 standings, only to watch Kansas rally down the stretch and claim its unprecedented 14th consecutive conference crown. The Red Raiders want another shot at the Jayhawks. Both will have to survive two games this week to set up a third meeting at the Sprint Center. Kansas is the top seed and the Red Raiders are second for the Big 12 Tournament, which starts with a pair of games Wednesday night but truly gets going with a quadruple-header on Thursday. It promises to be one of the most tightly contested tournaments since the league’s inception, with nine teams harboring NCAA Tournament hopes — four of which would feel much better about their prospects with a couple wins. The Jayhawks (24-7) and Red Raiders (23-8) are comfortably in the field of 68, though they still have plenty on the line. Kansas is seeking a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament while Texas Tech is seeking a title. “I’m not a second-place guy,” Red Raiders coach Chris Beard said. “We’re going to put ourselves in a position every year where we’re going to compete for this thing. Whether we get it done or not, that depends on a lot of things. We intend to be a part of the fight. So I’m not satisfied at all. “I am pleased,” he added, “that we were part of the fight for the championship this year, in our second year … but I intend to be part of the fight in Kansas City and in the national tournament.” Even though Kansas has dominated the Big 12 for more than a decade, the tournament has been a different animal. Iowa State has won three of the past four titles, though the rebuilding Cyclones (13-17) are the only team this season that most people don’t give a shot at the championship. They play Texas on Wednesday night, while Oklahoma plays Oklahoma State in the other opening game. The Sooners may be the best example of the brutal nature of the Big 12, which was ranked as the top RPI conference in the nation. Led by star guard Trae Young, they were ranked fourth in the nation in mid-January, but went 8-10 in the league and plummeted to the No. 9 seed for the tournament. That puts them in that pack of four teams, all 8-10 in the league and with 18 wins overall, that are trying to solidify their NCAA Tournament hopes ahead of Selection Sunday. “Some of us have more bruises than others, but I think the Big 12 is the strongest conference from top to bottom in America,” said Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton, whose Cowboys (1813) are also trying to play their way into the dance. “I’m not sure if it’s close.” As the Big 12 Tournament draws near, here are some of the key story lines: Bamba’s health Texas big man Mo Bamba is still recovering from a sprained toe that sidelined him the last two games, and coach Shaka Smart said the 7-footer is “making progress.” Whether he plays against the Cyclones, or later in the tournament if the Longhorns advance, remains to be seen. are part of the logjam with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State fighting for NCAA Tournament positioning. Also in the mix is Baylor (18-13), which earned a bye into the quarterfinal thanks to tiebreakers and will face third-seeded West Virginia on Thursday night. Stress test Fourth-seeded Kansas State (21-10) and No. 5 seed TCU (21-10) are likely in the NCAA field, but a loss for either of them could mean the first-four game that the Wildcats played in last season. Kansas State had a brutally weak schedule that hurt its RPI, while the Horned Frogs were just 9-9 in Bubble boys The Longhorns (18-13) the league.

Love says he was stricken with anxiety Nov. 5 during a home game against the Atlanta Hawks. Love adds that he had been under family stress and hadn’t been sleeping well. After briefly being winded while playing 15 minutes in the first half, he felt his heart racing and couldn’t catch his breath during a timeout in the third quarter. “It’s hard to describe, but everything was spinning, like my brain was trying to climb out of my head,” said Love, a five-time All-Star now sidelined after breaking his left hand last month. 2018 CutestContest Pet Think your Pet has what it takes to be crowned the cutest pet around?

CBS and Turner announced the tweak to the selection show format Tuesday. The show will be aired on TBS for the first time since CBS and Turner Sports began partnering on NCAA Tournament coverage in 2011. The two-hour show will come from a new studio in Atlanta, customized for the selection show and will be done in front of a live audience. CBS and Turner executives said Tuesday the entire bracket will be revealed within the first 45 minutes. The new twist comes in the first 10 minutes when first the automatic bids will be announced in alphabetical order by conference. Then atlarge selections will be revealed in alphabetical order by team. Greg Gumble and Ernie Johnson will co-host the selection show and handle the announcement of teams and matchups. In 2016, CBS extended the selection show to two hours and was criticized by fans for taking too long to unveil the entire bracket. With that in mind, CBS and Turner executives looked at the move to TBS and Atlanta as an opportunity to make some changes. “We’ve been talking about it for three years,” Craig Berry, executive vice president and chief content officer for Turner Sports, said dur- ing a media event with network executives and announcers. “We tried some new stuff two years ago, that took too long. “And then, knowing we were going to move the selection show to TBS and to Atlanta, we felt like what an opportunity to kind of incrementally improve the show to some extent. Understanding the format and the delivery have to be intact. What would be a great kind of open and reveal for selection Sunday? Oh, if you knew automatically what 68 teams were in the fray. That’s what I would want to know. We kind of just went from there.” College basketball’s signature event will be played while the sport is roiled in scandal. A federal investigation has alleged hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks being funneled to influence recruits, an FBI probe that many fans believe reveals just a tiny slice of potential corruption in college sports. In September, the Justice Department arrested 10 people, including four assistant coaches from Arizona, Southern California, Auburn and Oklahoma State. Payments of up to $150,000, supplied by Adidas, were promised to at least three top high school recruits to attend two schools sponsored by the shoe company, according to federal prosecutors. Sean McManus, chairman of CBS Sports, said the scandal will be discussed during studio segments of the tourna- ment broadcast, but it will mostly be limited during game coverage to if there is a school, coach or player directly affected by the investigation or subsequent news related to the scandal. “We’re fortunate we have a lot of commentators, all of whom have really strong opinions,” McManus said. “Charles Barkley has strong opinions. Seth Davis. Clark Kellogg. Kenny Smith. We found this out in our seminar (Monday) when they all expressed their opinions. And they were all very diverse opinions, very different opinions. But all very articulate and all very well thought out. So we’re going to rely on our hosts and analysts to cover the story.” McManus said he doesn’t expect the scandal and NCAA issues to drag down interest in this tournament. “But if it doesn’t get fixed in the long run it could,” McManus said. “The country’s pretty divided right now. I think the NCAA Tournament is one of those things that really brings people together. So I do think in the back of everyone’s mind is talk of the FBI investigation and the department of justice, but I think once the games start, I think people look at it as an escape and an opportunity to get away from all the bad news and enjoy some really good college basketball. “So I don’t think that it will affect our ratings. Our ratings will be determined by how good the games are and which teams win. As they always are.” AP SPORTS BRIEFS State, city sue over soccer team’s move announced the possible move last fall. Messages were left for Precourt and for Major League Soccer seeking comment. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Attorney General and the city of Columbus have sued Major League Soccer and the owner of the Columbus Crew to stop a proposed move to Austin, Texas. The lawsuit cites a law enacted after the original Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996 that prohibits sports teams that have received public money from moving unless certain conditions are met. The law says Ohio sports teams using publicly supported facilities must provide six months of advance notice of a move. They also must allow cities or residents near sports facilities a chance to buy the team. Crew owner Anthony Precourt Hochuli’s son replaces him as ref NEW YORK (AP) — NFL referees Ed Hochuli and Jeff Triplette are retiring. One of the replacements will be former back judge Shawn Hochuli, Ed’s son. The other is former side judge Alex Kemp. Ed Hochuli, among the most recognizable of NFL officials because of his muscular build, joined the league in 1990. Triplette came aboard in 1996. Hochuli, a lawyer by trade, originally was a back judge and moved up to referee in 1992. He worked two Super Bowls. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
