Austin Halfhill talks with attorney Michael Huff during a previous In pleading guilty, Halfhearing in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. hill admitted to being the driver of a vehicle which went left of center and struck a motorcycle driven by John McElfresh, 62, of Glouster on Aug. 4 on State Route 7 near Chester. McElfresh was killed in the crash, as was passenger Brenda Suttle, 59, of Crooksville. Halfhill was driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash, as well as being under the influence of methamphetamine and amphetamines, according to statements by Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Adkins in court. Halfhill was originally indicted in September 2019 on two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, felonies of the first degree; two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, felonies of the second degree; two counts of vehicular manslaughter, misdemeanors of the first degree; and three counts of operating a vehicle while under the influence, misdemeanors of the first degree. In pleading guilty to the most serious of the charges, the state agreed to dismiss the remaining six charges against Halfhill. The prosecution and defense did not make a joint sentencing recommendation to Judge Linda Warner, but will argue sentencing at a hearing scheduled for April 8. Halfhill faces a prison sentence of up to 22 to 33 years in prison when sentenced. Any sentence handed down in the case would be mandatory. Additionally, he will be subject to a lifetime driver’s license suspension. For the hearing on Wednesday, the state was represented by Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Adkins, with Halfhill represented See PLEA | 5 Sheriff ’s office investigating timber thefts Man arrested after threat Stolen side-by-side located By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest. com Staff Report MEIGS COUNTY — The theft of trees along Pageville Road is under investigation by the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Keith Wood reported in a news release that his office had received several complaints of the theft of walnut trees on Pageville Road in last several days. On Feb. 24, the sheriff’s office received a call that walnut trees were being cut down on Pageville Road at Norris Road. Deputies responded but did not find any subjects there at that time but found where walnut trees were cut down and branches were still in the roadway. On Feb. 25, Major Trussell received a call that the stolen walnut logs were allegedly on a trailer at a residence on Pageville Road. Trussell responded and located the stolen logs at that residence and after talking to the resident and others at that location, received information as to the identities of the suspects who had allegedly cut the trees down the day before. One suspect was located and interviewed concerning the thefts. The suspects had allegedly been selling the logs to a local timber yard. This case is still on-going as there are more property owners who have filed theft reports of stolen walnut, red oak, poplar, and red maple trees being cut down on Pageville Road. Sheriff Wood asks that if any residents have any information concerning these thefts to contact Major Trussell at the sheriff’s office. Sheriff Wood also reports that recently, the Athens County Sheriff’s Office took a theft report of a stolen orange Kubota RTV900 side by side from a residence on Chase Road. On Feb. 26, a call was received from Athens County that the owner of the Kubota had seen a Kubota side by side sitting in the yard at a residence on Pageville Road that See THEFTS | 5 INDEX Obituary: 2 Weather: 3 Opinion: 4 News: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood said that the agency was placed on lockdown just before noon on Wednesday. In a news release, Sheriff Wood stated that at approximately 11:50 a.m. the sheriff’s office dispatch received a call from Prosecutor’s Office Investigator Michael Oliver stating that a call had allegedly been received from George Ramsey who is alleged to have stated he was “leaving his home to get a gun and was coming there (Department of Job and Family Services) to shoot everyone at CPS (child protective services).” The Meigs County DJFS was placed on lockdown and Investigator Oliver contacted the sheriff’s office, Middleport Police Department and the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office. At approximately 11:56 a.m., Sheriff Wood and Investigator Olive spoke over the phone and deputies arranged to go to the Ramsey residence in an attempt to take George Ramsey into custody. Deputy Andy Myers and Deputy Matt Martin arrived at the residence at 12:12 p.m. and took Ramsey into custody with out incident.

Sheriff addresses budget issues; action by commissioners By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood addressed the recent action taken by the Meigs County Commissioners regarding the budget for his office during a press conference on Wednesday morning. Sheriff Wood read from a prepared statement, as well as answered questions and provided additional remarks on last week’s action. (The prepared statement can be read in its entirety below). During the Feb. 20 meeting of the Meigs County Commissioners, the board unanimously approved a resolution to place the sheriff’s office on a quarterly spending plan. The action came after the sheriff’s office exceeded its 2019 budget, spending 71 percent more than the original amount allocated, according to the resolution. Wood stated that the budget of the sheriff’s office is unpredictable as it is dependent on the crime in the county from year to year or even month to month. While the sheriff’s office is allocated a specific amount of money for things such as housing, salaries, inmate medical and other items, those items can and have exceeded budgets, something Wood said is connected to the opioid crisis. In 2019, the sheriff’s office was allocated $180,000 for inmate housing. Wood and administrative assistant Cheyenne Martin explained that that amount was used up by around May, as has been the case in many years. Once that allocation is used up, the office asks for approval to transfer money from the other line items, primarily salaries, to help cover the additional expenses. This creates a shortage in the salaries line, as well as the housing line later in the year, resulting in the office asking the commissioners for additional funds. One example provided during the press conference was the cost to house a single inmate at the Washington County Jail from May 2019 through January 2020 (the most recent month the bill is available for). The cost for one inmate for that time frame was $18,462. The inmate continues to be held at a cost of $68 per day. The sheriff’s office can only hold six inmates in its own jail, leading See SHERIFF | 2 TALES AND TIDBITS African American history: Samuel Allen By Lorna Hart Special to OVP MIDDLEPORT — Samuel Blaine Allen was born into slavery on a plantation in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, Virginia on Nov. 26, 1841, and died as a free man and successful entrepreneur in Middleport, Ohio, June 2, 1915.

We pledge to you Meigs County, that we will continue to make arrests in order this fight against the crime and the drug activity in this county. All arrests cost the taxpayers money; whether we are housing the inmates locally, or when we are transporting them to outside facilities. Transporting inmates is a necessity for our county because we do not have a jail large enough to house the number of inmates, we have in custody daily, so yes, it is a costly budget item. We constantly work to stay within budget by having weekly meetings, however, the growing crime rate and increasing costs associated the management of inmates is the direct result of our continued budget issues. Because we cannot house all the incarcerated inmates arrested in our facility, we are forced to house these inmates outside our county. This results in our deputies spending valuable man hours transporting inmates, hours that they are unable to spend in the county patrolling and responding to your calls. It is our duty to bring inmates to and from court, often for multiple trips over several months, until a case is resolved; consequently, this poses a strain on our budget. We pay RETAIL cost when we house inmates outside of our own jail. I have been advised of social media posts that are not only inaccurate, but one-sided. Please know that social media is not always the best resource for factual information. The sheriff’s office will continue to observe our social media policy, and we therefore don’t debate official business via targeted social media posts. The accusations mentioned have been brought to our attorney’s attention to review the various false statements made and to determine the most appropriate action needed. I, Sheriff Keith Wood, want to let you know that we are prepared and ready to answer all questions concerning this office and our business procedures… and we always have been. Many youth programs, which we should be proud of, have been added since I was elected to be your Sheriff. The School Resource Officer program was a collaborative effort through the efforts and determination of Eastern, Meigs, and Southern Local School District’s funding and with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office Drug Use Prevention Grant. With these efforts, we were able to secure a school resource officer in each school district. The protection of our children and staff at these facilities should be a priority county wide.

To effect this, I have partnered with numerous organizations throughout my time as Sheriff to incorporate many events, which include Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs, Drug Prevention Day at the Meigs County Fair, ID Safe funding, and our annual Shop with a Cop program Also, working with our county school districts, we have added a School Safety Council. This council is designed to ensure all schools can share safety plans and implement the best possible program for the children in our community. In 2019, grant money collected by two school districts was awarded to the Sheriff’s Office which allowed two School Resource Officers to participate in DARE School and provided safety training. My 43 years of experience has taught me many things by working in the field myself as an officer. A priority that I have felt from day one when becoming your sheriff was to get better equipment, pay, training, and encourage community policing in our county for the citizens of this county. The seizure of drug money is dedicated to two things, youth programs and the betterment of the officers to do their jobs. Additionally, partnering with area agencies and our local schools has allowed us to pool resources, secure grants, and build stronger programs for this community that I call Home. The Gallia-Meigs Task Force has proven success and phenomenal numbers. We recently welcomed the Ohio State Patrol into this Task Force. This will allow for greater law enforcement to Gallia and Meigs County, to combat this drug crisis with interdiction and apprehension. We pledge to you, Meigs County, that we will continue to make arrests in order to keep up the fight. If the commissioners believe effecting a quarterly spending plan allows for better monitoring of these costs, then we will work with them in any way necessary, however, quarterly monitoring does not change the management of the crime that we face, and the costs associated. The history of our budget shows that we have consistently exceeded the budget, each year. Again, reacting to crime per our sworn oath, is the crisis at hand. Law enforcement is an expensive business, yet vital to keeping our community safe, and free of being a target of out of state drug dealers, and the associated criminal element that follows. My door is open. Thank you for your time and for your continued support. Sheriff Keith O.

OH-70175115 Idaho closer to trans ban �Opinion 4 Thursday, February 27, 2020 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Dogs truly man’s best friend First, I want to say that I love my little basset hound “Flow” (or “Flo”). From the time she was very little, she was as abstinent as any animal I have ever had. I named her “Flo” because it seems that she would just let it flow any place at all. She was not housebroken for a very long time. She loved to sit on my lap. When I first got her as a puppy, she slept in my arms all the Loren way home. So, she believed that is where she belonged. I would be Pool Contributing working under my truck, and she columnist would come over and sit on me. I would be driving down the road, and she would sit on me. Whenever I sat in a chair, there she was. As she got older, she started to become afraid of loud noises, gunfire, trucks and any other loud noise. She was afraid of strangers, too. It takes her a very long time to make up to anyone. When she was younger, we took her around lots of people and had her around a little of everything. But when she got older, something happened that made her somewhat skittish. If you know bassets, they are very strong in their legs. They were used for the purpose of hunting rabbits. Messing with their feet is more than a challenge. They do not like for their feet to be touched. Now, if we are going out at night, we first take her outside to do her business. It is like trying to herd a kitten, or make a child go to bed. She drags her feet, she pouts, she walks very slowly and goes in the wrong direction all the time, with her tail between her legs. If I go away, she will not eat until I get home. Same thing happens if my wife leaves. We both have to be home before she will eat. When she barks, you would think she was twice as big as she is. Now when she eats, you have to give her a “Greenie” which is a dog’s snack, or she will stand and look at you until you do. As for some of the other funny things she does, last summer my sister-in-law was visiting us, and Flo was running all over the yard. She stepped on one of her own ears and flipped head over heels at full speed. Then, when she drinks, her ears are in the middle of the bowl. She loves stealing our seats. If I am home by myself, she will sit right beside me until Carolee gets home. Then she will go sit in Carolee’s seat. If I get up, she will take my seat as I am getting up. All in all, she has been a very good friend. She sits with me when I am very tired. Whenever I am blue, she sits very close to me. She has been my best friend for such a very long time. Flow the basset. What a pain, what a friend. Dogs will never turn their backs on you. May your day be full of peace. Loren Pool is a retired Delaware County (Ohio) deputy sheriff.

After being in the medical field for multiple decades, I often wish that I could turn back the clock. There is so much additional information to study and learn. Neuroscience is the study of the brain. This very delicate organ has revealed that exercise and meditation can keep it young and vibrant. But that isn’t all. Johns Hopkins University and the National Institute of Aging discovered that compounds found in caffeine have clear effects on the brain. Caffeine can promote prolonged cognitive performance and can protect against stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The beneficial effects of the caffeine found in coffee, tea and dark chocolate promote brain health. Studies also reveal that caffeine makes the brain more flexible and tion to cardiac and resilient.

The incidence of brain cancer is also decreased with caffeine. The antioxidants found in coffee, tea and chocolate also help to protect cells from damage. Another attractive statistic associated with daily consumption of coffee, both caffeinated and decaf alike, is a lower risk of total mortality, including deaths from heart disease, nervous system diseases and suicide. Consuming coffee with a friend or loved one improves these statistics even more. At times medical studies predict doom and gloom. When the studies reveal a beneficial rationale for not changing a daily pleasure like caffeine, life is good.

Thursday, February 27, 2020 5 Not paying support can block adoption protest COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A parent loses the ability to protest a child’s adoption by failing to support the child as required by law or judges orders, a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in the case of a biological father who only paid $200 in a year toward his child’s support. At issue was the refusal of the father to allow his ex-wife’s new husband to adopt their child. The couple married in Indiana but the woman moved to Ohio after the divorce and the father returned to his native Kosovo, according to the Supreme Court decision. The father stayed in contact with the child but paid only $200 in the year preceding the adoption request, the court said. Records show an Indiana judge required the man to pay $85 a week and he owed more than $17,000 at the time of the hearing. The ex-wife’s new husband said the father’s failure to meet his child support obligations cost him his ability to protest the adoption, according to Ohio law. Justice Pat DeWine, writing for the majority, agreed, saying the father’s consent wasn’t required because he didn’t make the payments as ordered and lacked “justifiable cause” for his failure. Dissenting Justice Sharon Kennedy said that because the father made a payment during the year before the hearing, he retained his right to withhold consent to the adoption. Videos help train schools to use threat assessment COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio is sharing free video training to help more school districts use threat assessment strategies to identify concerning behavior and prevent targeted violence. The online videos released Wednesday total about three hours and feature experts discussing how to create and use threat assessment teams, providing useful information not just for educators and law enforcement but parents and students as well, Attorney General Dave Yost said. Too often in cases such as school shootings, officials learn afterward that someone knew something was amiss but didn’t speak up or know how to address it, Yost said. “This aims to make sure in every school district there is a somebody to reach out to, that there are people who are trained to know the warning signs and are prepared to take action,” he said. Yost said some of Ohio’s 600-plus districts already use threat assessment, though he couldn’t say how many have teams focused on that. A multidisciplinary approach involving counselors, teachers, administrators and school resource officers is the most comprehensive way to help identify students in distress and intervene before they resort to violence, said Lina Alathari, the chief of the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center. The center helped the state assemble the training information. The state is also offering $500 grants for law enforcement officers whose work is focused on school safety if they complete the training and agree to help create threat assessment teams in their schools. ted using a minivan to intentionally run down and kill a man and injure another last year has been sentenced to life in prison.

The letter begins Dear Uncle, and recommends Allen, his wife, and another couple for employment: “These people gave themselves up to me, and I let them go to Ohio. The Rule is, I believe, that slaves coming to our line, especially if owned by Rebels, are free.” The letter also stated that Allen had given them “valuable information about the enemy.” Also indicative of the concern over the status of the escaping people, Hayes and Birchard indicate that they would prefer to go to the country rather than a city like Cincinnati, fearing they might be captured and taken back into Southern territory and their previous owners’. Allen made it safely to Ohio and settled in Rutland where he worked on a farm before moving to Gallipolis where he worked in a government hospital. Next, Allen became a porter “following steamboats on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.” Allen left river work and married Rhoda Hogg of Cheshire/ Pomeroy, Ohio in 1861and purchased a home in Middleport; there is no mention of his being married previously. In 1881, he relocated to Rendville, Ohio, Images courtesy of Michael Gerlach The Allen House, Restaurant, and Barber Shop are pictured in these 1910 Postcards of downtown Middleport, Ohio. a prosperous mining town, known for its economic opportunities and inclusiveness. These traits had attracted many black entrepreneurs and professionals to the town, and Allen quickly became part of the growing community, and acquiring property, a hotel, and a barber shop, serving as councilman and then mayor. The town of Rendville had been founded by Union Army Colonel William P. Rend. Born in Ireland, Rend was hands on and pro labor, accepting workers from numerous ethnic backgrounds. An early example of the integration of black citizens, the town’s economy was founded around the coal industry, and with the depletion of the coal seams came the gradual decline of the community, and migration dispersed this once multicultural population. In 1893, Allen sold his restaurant and moved to nearby Corning, where he again purchased property and opened a restaurant that flourished. He sold the restaurant in 1902 and returned to Middleport, establishing a restaurant and a barber shop, and beginning work on the Allen Hotel. A newspaper article dated April 18, 1902, notes, “Samuel B. Allen of Corning arrived in Middleport Wednesday to look after the building of his fine hotel on Second Street.” The hotel would become well known to travelers and was one of the most successful hotels in Middleport. Allen and his wife became a well respected member of the community, and lived with their son Edward Isaac and daughter Blanche Mabelle in a home on the corner of Walnut and Third. His obituary reads: “Mr. Allen began life under the most adverse circumstances but being possessed of more than ordinary intelligence and business ability, and having as a helpmate, a most devoted and industrious woman, he built up a name and a business credible to his family and the communities in which he resided. His family devotion, Christian zeal, practical wisdom, business tact and honest dealing with all won for him the respect and admiration of all who knew him.” Samuel B. Allen’s legacy continued with his grandson, Samuel C. Allen, whose story will be told in next week’s Tales of Black History in Meigs County.

The 10th seeded Rebels (13-11) had more than their fair share of opportunities in the first half, as the guests forced 11 turnovers and outshot the Lions (14-9) by a sizable 35-15 overall margin by the break. FHS, however, netted eight of those 15 shot attempts and went 12-of14 at the free throw line to help balance out its offensive attack, while SGHS made only a dozen of its 35 field goal tries before the intermission. The hosts ended up clinging to a 30-29 edge at halftime. All five ties and six lead changes in the game came in those opening 16 minutes, but the Red and White ultimately received a runout basket from Bryson Simmons at the 1:40 mark of the second frame — allowing Fairfield to take a permanent lead at 26-25. The Red and Gold were ultimately never closer as the Lions used a 12-2 surge over the opening 5-plus minutes of the third to establish their first double-digit cushion, which eventually led to a 47-35 advantage headed into the finale. Fairfield scored the opening six points of the fourth and led by at least 16 points the rest of the way en route to wrapping up the sectional title with the eventual 20-point outcome. The Lions advance to a D-4 district semifinal at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday and face second seeded New Boston at the Ohio University Convocation Center. The Rebels provided plenty of fits early on, particularly with their extended 1-3-1 defensive pressure. Both teams committed five turnovers apiece in the opening canto, but the difference really swung in favor of the guests following a 6-1 discrepancy in the second frame. South Gallia was able to build leads of 3-0 and 5-3 through the opening three minutes of play, but FHS answered with a Simmons trifecta at the 4:42 mark — giving the hosts their first lead at 6-5. Simmons ended up scoring 13 points in the first quarter, and Fairfield led by four points on three different occasions before claiming a slim 15-13 edge through eight minutes of work. South Gallia junior Jaxxin Mabe (10) leaps for a rebound during the first half of Tuesday night’s Division IV boys basketball sectional final against Fairfield at Wellston High School in Wellston, Ohio. Both teams traded early second period leads before ending up tied at 20-all and again at 22-all with 2:29 remaining. James Bentley recaptured the lead for Fairfield with a bucket at the 2:09 mark, but a Tristan Saber trifecta 21 seconds later allowed the Rebels to take their final lead of the night at 25-24. Simmons — who had 21 first half points — provided his go-ahead basket with a layup at the 1:40 mark, sparking a small 6-4 run that gave the Lions a 1-point edge entering the intermission. Things fell apart for South Gallia from there, starting with its opening possession 10 seconds into the second half. Fairfield came up with a steal and a Wyatt Willey layup that sparked a 12-2 run, increasing the lead out to 42-31 with 2:25 left. Jaxxin Mabe ended South Gallia’s 5:18 scoreless drought with a basket at the 2:08 mark, then Brayden Hammond See LIONS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Burrow shows Cincy some love AP SPORTS BRIEF Columnist suspended for calling Mayfield ‘midget’ INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Who wouldn’t want to follow in the footsteps of John Elway and Eli Manning? Joe Burrow, that’s who. The Heisman Trophy winner, national champion and consensus No. 1 pick in next month’s draft said Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine that he’d have no qualms playing in Cincinnati, which owns the top choice. “Yeah, I’m not going to not play,” the LSU star quarterback replied when asked if he would report to the Bengals should they select him No. 1 overall on April 23 in Las Vegas. “I’m a ballplayer. Whoever picks me, I’m going to go show up.” Burrow, who grew up in Athens, Ohio, and initially attended Ohio State, said he’d love to play professionally in his home state. “Yeah, absolutely. It’s 2 hours, 15 minutes from my house,” Burrow said. “I could go home for dinner if I wanted to.” Burrow said on Dan Patrick’s radio show last month that it was important for him to keep winning in the NFL and that while he wanted to be the first overall pick, “you also want to go to a great organization that is committed to winning. Committed to winning Super Bowls.” The Bengals haven’t won a Super Bowl since entering the league in 1968. Those comments sparked speculation that Burrow was skeptical about the Bengals. “The only thing I’ve said is that I just didn’t want to be presumptuous about the pick,” Burrow said Tuesday. “That’s why I’ve been non-committal because CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland sports talk radio personality has been suspended indefinitely for referring to Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield as a “midget.” During a commercial break at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Grossi didn’t realize his microphone was still on when he used a vulgar word before calling Mayfield a midget. Grossi is a columnist for the station and frequently appears on air. The station’s owner, Good Karma Brands, issued an immediate apology to Mayfield and the Browns while adding its decision to punish Grossi. The company also said it will pursue sensitivity and inclusion training “for everyone on our content teams across our company.” Chris Talbott, a spokesman for Mayfield, declined comment on the situation. Mayfield has had a contentious relationship with Grossi, who advocated for the Browns not to take the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner with the first overall draft pick in 2018. Lions 75 percent.

You guys kind of took that narrative and ran with it. There has never been anything like that from my end.” So, no reservations about playing for the Bengals. “I’ll play for whoever drafts me,” Burrow said. “I’m just not going to be presumptuous about what they want to do. It’s the draft. You guys have been covering it for a long time. You never know what’s going to happen.” So, he’s all-in on Cincinnati should the Bengals call his name on draft night? “Yeah, of course I want to be the first pick,” he said. “That’s every kid’s dream. I’ve worked really, really hard for the opportunity and I’m blessed to be in this position. So I’m just really excited to be in this position.” Elway was the top overall selection in the 1983 draft, the vanguard of the greatest quarterback class in NFL history, but he didn’t want to play in Baltimore and the Colts traded him to Denver, where he won two Super Bowls as a player and another as an executive. Something similar transpired in 2004 when Manning was selected first overall by the San Diego Chargers but was quickly traded to the New York Giants, where he twice beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl. Elway spent four years searching for Peyton Manning’s replacement in Denver before landing Drew Lock, so this marks the first offseason since 2015 that he isn’t spending a lot of time on the QB prospects such as Burrow. Instead, he’s looking at the deep class of wide receivers that punctuate this year’s rookie class. Elway already has a Pro Bowl receiver in Courtland Sutton and a rising star tight end in Noah Fant. But nowadays teams have to load up at wide receiver and this year brings a wealth of talented pass catchers to choose from. “Oh, I think this is one of the best groups since Odell’s group,” Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault said in comparing this year’s crop to the one in 2014 that featured first-rounders Odell Beckham Jr., Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks and Kelvin Benjamin. In addition to Shenault, this year’s group features Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III, Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb, LSU’s Justin Jefferson, Arizona State’s Brandon Aiyuk and Clemson’s Tee Higgins. “I think we’re talented across the board,” Shenault said. “I think we check a lot of boxes. I think this class is going to do great things. It’s definitely going to be a legendary class.” Other highlights on a busy first day at the combine: Funny guy Burrow won’t participate in on-field drills at the combine, but he is enjoying the process and the interviews. He jokingly tweeted he was considering retirement when his hand size was measured at a smallish 9 inches at the combine. “I didn’t have a lot of fumbles or anything like that, so I just tried to make a little joke about THURSDAY EVENING 11 (WVAH) Falcons Thursday, February 27, 2020 7 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Newswatch Eyewitness News (N) 10TV News (N) America Says Legislature Today 13 News at 6:00 p.m. 6 PM Cam jam New Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule said he’s “unbelievably excited to get a chance to work with Cam” Newton, the team’s QB who’s recovering from a foot injury that sidelined him last season. “I’m excited to get him healthy. Obviously that’s the No. 1 goal for us.” Rhule wouldn’t commit to Newton being his starter if he’s healthy, however. “I probably won’t say about anybody that they’ll be a starter. Especially my first year, I’ll try to be really disciplined about not promising things to certain guys,” Rhule said. “I’ll just say that I really want him on the team and I really want him to be healthy. I know when Cam is healthy, who he is and the type of player that he is.” All work Andy Reid is basking in the glow of his first Super Bowl title in his 366th game as a head coach in the NFL. “It’s sunk in.

A simple majority of some 2,000 players must accept the agreement for it to go into effect this year. After nearly four hours of meetings between player reps and members of the NFL’s negotiating committee Tuesday in Indianapolis, the 32 team reps spent several more hours discussing the deal. They then gave the nod for all NFL Players Association members to make the final decision. George Atallah, assistant executive director of external affairs at the NFLPA, announced the move on his verified Twitter account after 1 a.m. Wednesday. There was no immediate word when that vote would occur. The new CBA calls for a 17-game regular season, which is expected to begin in 2021; more roster spots; a shortened preseason; a higher percentage of revenues for players; and upgraded pensions for former players. The owners approved it last Thursday, though not unanimously. It seems certain the players will accept the deal, or else their leadership would not likely have made this move. The NFL Players Association’s executive committee voted 6-5 against the contract on Friday. The 32 player reps postponed any action while seeking a meeting with the league, which occurred in Indianapolis on Tuesday. The current collective bargaining agreement expires in March 2021, but the owners are eager to get a new contract in place as soon as possible. That would enable them to begin looking toward new, lucrative broadcast deals, with a decade of labor peace assured. But the players didn’t appear to be in a rush to approve the new agreement that is the result of 10 months of negotiations between the sides. Indeed, several player reps last Friday night were adamant that more negotiating is needed. The diciest topic has been a 17-game schedule. Players have been firm and loud in opposition for years — dating to before the 2011 lockout that ended with an agreement to the current labor deal. Mainly, the players have been citing safety reasons for not extending the regular season. Owners have offered, among other things, two more roster spots, which some players believe isn’t enough, and a reduction of the preseason from four games to three. Players also would have significantly fewer requirements in the offseason and in training camp. This agreement, which would run through the 2030 season, also includes a boost in payment of overall revenues to the players. The amounts would depend on whether the season is 16 or 17 games. Expansion of the playoffs by one team in each conference is not a bargaining issue, but the owners would prefer player approval of a new CBA before instituting it. Still, that could occur for the upcoming season; the NFL has discussed a 14-team postseason field for years, and Commissioner Roger Goodell as far back as 2014 spoke of it happening. Other items in the deal the owners approved include: — A cap on the number of international games and that there would not be a full week of such contests. More likely is a continued mix of games in England (and other European sites) and Mexico. Most team schedules will have nine home games and eight road games in alternating years. — Training camp padded practices would be reduced from a total of 28 to 16. A five-day acclimation period would precede summer practices. There would be more days off during camp — eight instead of five — and a limit on joint practices. — No extra bye week in the regular season, something that had been discussed. However, teams would basically have two weeks to prepare for the season opener with the elimination of the fourth preseason game. — Rosters would expand from 53 to 55, with 48 players able to dress for games rather than the current 46. Practice squads would go from 10 players to 12 and eventually to 14, probably by 2022. There would be more flexibility for protecting practice-squad players from becoming free agents. Daily Sentinel Wild beat Blue Jackets, 5-4 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Mikko Koivu scored twice to snap a 30-game goalless drought, Eric Staal added his 18th goal and the Minnesota Wild held on to beat the shorthanded Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 on Tuesday night. Alex Stalock made 24 saves and Ryan Donato and Kevin Fiala also scored as Minnesota won for the third time in five games under interim coach Dean Evason. The Wild started the day five points behind Arizona for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. “Right now, we’re in a pretty good spot, so we know what we have to do,” Fiala said,. “We believe. We know it’s going to be us, especially now with the deadline. We’re happy to stay with this group and just to continue with this group moving forward.” Nick Foligno, Emil Bemstrom, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Zach Werenski scored for Columbus, which was playing without goaltender Elvis Merzlikins and forward Riley Nash, who were both injured the previous night against Ottawa. Matiss Kivlenieks made the start in goal and stopped 35 shots in just his fifth NHL game. The Blue Jackets, who started the day with an NHL-high 364 man games lost this season, are 1-4-5 in their last 10 games. They started the day holding the final Wild Card spot in the East. “We do all that work at the start of the year to not be tired, so I don’t want to hear that excuse from any guy because it didn’t come down to being tired,” Foligno said. “You can say second wind and all that crap, we just didn’t have the same compete level. We’re desperate right now, so I don’t know for what reason we dip our toe in the water right now, but it’s unacceptable. It’s the real reason why we lost the game.” Short-handed and playing the second game of a back-to-back after snapping an eight-game losing streak against Ottawa, Columbus was sluggish early. Staal scored 1:34 into the game when his wraparound attempt deflected off defenseman Scott Harrington into the air and over Kivlenieks into the net. It snapped an 11-game drought for Staal and was just his second goal in 20 games. “I count on myself to contribute offensively, especially in the goal department,” Staal said. “It’s obviously been a while. Hopefully, that can get me on a roll here. It’s nice to get that first one and get us on the board, get that energy going early. I thought our first period was phenomenal.” Minnesota held a 12-1 advantage in shots and the Blue Jackets went 12 minutes without a shot before Foligno tied the game with his 10th goal of the season. Gustav Nyquist dumped the puck from the neutral zone on goal and Stalock had trouble handling the bounce, gloving it out in front where Foligno was all alone for a putback attempt. Donato scored from his knees to give Minnesota the lead before the first intermission and Koivu scored twice in the second period. Koivu, who decided to not waive the no-move clause in his contract before the trade deadline, had not scored since Nov. 30. “It’s rewarding if we make the playoffs,” Koivu said. “If we don’t, I don’t think anyone is going to remember if I had two goals or not. Yeah. Let’s talk about that when it’s said and done. Like I said, with one game, if I can help the team get the win, for sure it’s a good feeling.” Playing for the eighth time in 13 days, Columbus showed life late. The Blue Jackets scored three times in the third, twice closing within a goal. Bemstrom and Dubois made it 4-3 before Fiala scored his eighth goal in the past 11 games. Werenski scored his 19th of the season with 3:04 left. “I think that third period, we just go, we just play, instead of waiting for the other team to make a mistake, instead of sitting back and waiting for them to turn the puck over and trying to block everything,” Dubois said. The Blue Jackets host Minnesota on Friday night.

MLS owners predict league will surpass MLB NEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles FC lead owner Larry Berg predicts Major League Soccer will surpass Major League Baseball in popularity during the next 10 years and Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas maintains it will be of higher quality than the Premier League and La Liga by 2045. The pair spoke at the league’s kickoff event Wednesday, three days ahead of the start of its 25th season. MLS anticipates the status of soccer in the 1520 State Rt. 160 Gallipolis, OH U.S. will be boosted when the Americans co-host the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada. “We definitely have the demographics in our favor, both in terms of youth and diversity. So I think we’ll pass baseball and hockey and be the No. 3 sport in the U.S. behind football and basketball,” Berg said. “I think we will be the league of choice. I think we’re already a league of choice to a certain extent, whether we can be a top-five league or a top-three league will really come down at the end of the day to money, our ability to compete for players.” MLS is expanding to 26 teams with the addition of David Beckham’s Inter Miami and Nashville, and plans are in place to reach 30 franchises by 2022 — triple the league’s low from 2002-04. The league has increasingly attracted better players from South America. “I think the good news is players want to play here,” Berg said. “We’re the United States of America. People want to live here. It’s an incredible lifestyle. The infrastructure is fantastic.” Mas co-owns the Miami team that launches this weekend, partnering with former England captain Beckham. He talked about what MLS will look like for its 50th year in 2045. “I think the MLS will be one of the top sports leagues in the United States. I think it will be on par or exceed the best leagues in the world, the Premier League or Serie A or La Liga worldwide,” Mas said. “I think that the MLS 25 years from now will be Premier League-ish if we want to so-call it that on the Kebler Finacial Karl Kebler III, CPA Financial & Tax Advisor Cutest PETS 111 W 2nd St., PO Box 112 Pomeroy, OH 45769 OH-70175162 Contest �"��� ��� ��� �������� ����� �$���!���� ��������!���"��� ������� Winner announced on the 23rd of March www.KeblerFinancial.com keblerk@keblerfinancial.com Submit on The Daily Sentinel, The Daily Tribune, and The Daily Register Phone: 740-992-7270 OH-70173650 metrics that leagues are measured by.” Clark Hunt, CEO of MLS’ Dallas team and the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, compared soccer’s progress in the U.S. to that of the NFL, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. “The momentum that we have I think has a chance to take us to where the NFL is today,” he said. Beckham boosted the league when he played for the LA Galaxy from 2007-12, a deal that gave him the right to buy an expansion fee at a discount. “Do I think in the next 10 years it will challenge the European leagues? It’s what we all strive for. It’s what we will strive to commit to,” Beckham said. “This should never be a league where players from Europe come to retire. That’s not where you want to be. It’s not where we want to be as owners.” Austin, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina, join the league next year, followed by St. Louis and Sacramento, California. Charlotte, announced in December, agreed to pay a $325 million expansion fee. Detroit, Las Vegas and Phoenix remain in contact with the league, which also is monitoring efforts in San Diego. More warm-weather cities would help the schedule early and late in the year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
