Commissioners hear Camp Kiashuta update By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Volunteers are working to raise funds with the goal of saving Camp Kiashuta for locals to enjoy for years to come. Hank Cleland, who is part of the Friends of Camp Kiashuta group, updated the Meigs County Commissioners on the group’s efforts during last week’s regular meeting. Cleland explained a brief history of the camp, which is on 138 acres of land donated to the Boy Scouts. Over the years the camp has changed hands from one Boy Scout Council to another, currently being controlled by the Buckskin Council out of Charleston, West Virginia. The Council expressed their plans to sell the property for more than $260,000, said Cleland, but worked with the group to set a purchase price of $161,400 for the Friends of Camp Kiashuta to purchase the land. A pledge of $80,000 has been committed toward the purchase and continued operation of the camp, with the Friends looking to secure the remaining funding through donations and potential grant funding. Money raised above the purchase price would be used to maintain the camp, paying bills and doing Thursday, March 8, 2018 s 50¢ Raising FFA awareness Photos courtesy of Racine Southern FFA FFA members and officers include (back row, left to right) Ethan Roberts, Colton Hamm, Connar Alkire, Ethan Mullen, Austrin Rice, Mallory Stover; (front row, left to right) Austin Rose, Dominique Wehrung, Cheyenne Wehrung, Tyler Day, Valerie Hamm.

See HONORED | 5 Kasich delivers ‘odd’ final State of the State By Julie Carr Smyth The Associated Press WESTERVILLE, Ohio — In a State of the State speech infused with philosophy, religion and a pinch of nostalgia, Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Tuesday urged people to tap the values he believes all people have “written on our hearts” to live a life bigger than themselves. The term-limited Republican governor followed through on predictions he had been making over the past week that his ﬁnal big address as governor would be “odd” and “different.” Aside from Kasich saying he had tried to do his best for the state, the hour-long speech at Otterbein University touched only in passing on his record over the past eight years or on any substantive initiatives. Instead, the 65-year-old Kasich looked back much further — to the messages of philosophers Plato, Aristotle, Camus, Nietzsche and John Locke and religious leaders including St. Augustine and Martin Luther. “As a result of the fact that we are all made in the image of our creator, everyone deserves respect — regardless of race, creed, appearance, our station in life,” said Kasich, who has emerged as a national voice for bipartisanship See KASICH | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, March 8, 2018 Meigs Intermediate announces honor roll MIDDLEPORT — Meigs Intermediate School has announced its second trimester honor roll.

ROLLIN BAILEY RADFORD POMEROY — Rollin Bailey Radford was born on Nov. 1, 1930, and departed this world on March 6, 2018. Preceding him in death were his parents Homer and Helen Bailey Radford, his brother William, aka Bill (2014), and his ﬁrst wife Patsy Shields Radford (1964). Our husband/Dad was a humble and hardworking man. His motto was “Anything worth doing is worth doing right.” He and his brother Bill practiced those words as they worked together on the family farm and when they helped others with their carpentry skills. He served his country by enlisting in the U.S. Marines, was a Salisbury Township Trustee in the 1960s, and a longtime and dedicated member of the Rocksprings UMC. He was also a mechanic and worked locally many years for ODOT. But most of all, he was a kind Christian man who would do anything for anyone. Survivors include his wife Nancy Sisson Radford, with whom he celebrated their 50th anniversary last year, and daughters Connie and Douglas Little, Judy and Barry Marshall, and Sally Hanstine. Also surviving are grandchildren, Jesse and Misty Little, Tyler and Courtney Little, Joe and Rachel Marshall Cornell, Nicholas Ingels, and Allison Hanstine. Bonus-grandchildren Curtis and Lauren Hanstine, and Cassidy and Rebecca Hanstine Willford also survive, plus seven, almost eight, great-grandchildren. In addition are a niece Debra Shelton and a special sister-in-law Louise Radford, along with her special family Bill, Becky and Mary. He loved us all, and all that knew him loved him. The family would like to thank the many friends and extended family who have been praying for him, and those who helped him on the farm, Tom Hanstine, Philip Radford, and George Glaze. Special thanks go to his Rocksprings UMC Church family who made sure he got to church, got seated and had a meal afterward in these recent years. We also want to acknowledge the compassionate care he has received since going to the ER on February 17th; Holzer Meigs ER Staff, Holzer Critical Care and Fourth Floor Staff, Overbrook Center Staff and its physician, Richard Simpson, M.D. In addition, we are grateful for his family physician, Scott Smith D.O., and his assistant Vickie Roush, CMA.

A dramatic and possibly illegal Eric Zorn statewide job walk-off by 35,000 pubContributing lic school employees in West Virginia columnist that began Feb. 22 ended Tuesday in a victory for the educators — a raise ﬁve times higher than what the state’s governor had ﬁrst proposed and a promise to attempt to curb their rising health insurance premiums. Parents and other residents had rallied around the strikers during the nine days when schools in all 55 counties were closed. This put enormous pressure on the Republican legislature and Republican Gov. Jim Justice to do better by their teachers, currently the third worst paid in the country, according to the National Education Association. Coincidentally, on the third school day of the strike, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Janus v. AFSCME, a case that seems likely to further erode the dwindling power of the union movement. That case pits Mark Janus, an employee of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, against the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 31, the union that represents Janus and some 40,000 other state workers. Simply put, Janus doesn’t want to support the union, not even with “fair-share” dues that cover only the costs of representing employees in disputes with management and in collective bargaining. Janus contends that requiring public employees to support the union in any way violates their free-speech rights. And most observers are sure that a majority of the justices will side with him, opening the door for freeloaders to enjoy the beneﬁts of union representation but not share in the organizational costs. This is likely to weaken public-sector unions, a prospect that Republican Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner is sounding positively giddy about as he runs for re-election this year. But the Janus decision won’t impact West Virginia, as it already is a right-to-freeload state (many prefer the equally tendentious term “rightto-work.”) Teachers and other state employees there not only can’t be compelled to pay union fees, they’re also not allowed to strike or to bargain collectively. Nevertheless they persisted. Without the formal involvement of union leaders or Democratic Party supporters, the educators began rallying on social media and in small gatherings to draw attention to the fact that they hadn’t had raises since 2014, and that their rising health care premiums, co-pays and deductibles were actually reducing their take-home pay every year. Teachers who could were leaving for better paying states (Illinois’ average teacher salary of $61,324 is, for example, 37 percent higher than West Virginia’s average of $44,701) or taking second jobs. Some dual-educator families in West Virginia were reportedly eligible for government assistance programs. And districts were having trouble hiring qualiﬁed teachers and combining grades in classrooms. Their frustration boiled over when Gov. Justice proposed and the state Senate passed a 1 percent raise for them earlier this year. One reason the state’s ﬁnancial condition is poor is the failure of a bipartisan initiative that began in 2006 to slash taxes — mostly on businesses — in an effort to boost the state’s economy. Yes, it ended up blowing a several-hundred-million-dollar hole in West Virginia’s budget as these bank-shot attempts at stimulus so often do, but the hole has been widened and deepened by the shrinking demand for coal, the state’s leading export. The teachers were adamant, though, that hollowing out education was no way to bring West Virginia back. Their unofﬁcial strike showed no signs of weakening as the days wore on. On Tuesday came the announcement that lawmakers had agreed to give the teachers, and all state employees, a 5 percent raise, to block any cuts in health beneﬁts until at least the middle of next year and to form a task force to address that problem long term. The Associated Press quoted one jubilant teacher: “We overcame, we overcame! It shows (students) how democracy is supposed to work, that you don’t just bow down and lay down for anybody.” Some of that joy should be tempered, though, by the ﬁne print that says money to pay for these raises is going to come in part by cuts to Medicaid. Still, West Virginia teachers have shown that organized workers can still have clout in the inevitable post-Janus America if their cause is just and their resolution strong. That idea has already spread to Oklahoma, also a right-to-freeload state, where public school teachers earn even less on average than they do in West Virginia. On Thursday, the Oklahoma Education Association union is reportedly planning to announce a statewide-shutdown strategy. If the green shoots in the hills of West Virginia ﬂower on the great plains, look out. Labor may not be dead yet. THEIR VIEW Graham wouldn’t want a holiday There’s a petition stampeding through cyberspace calling for a national holiday in honor of Billy Graham. One person can and should put a stop to it. Charlotte’s most famous Favorite Son died Feb. 21. He was celebrated for nine days like no American I’ve seen celebrated, but for the occasional late president. There was massive media coverage of virtually every happening or aspect of Graham’s passing — in Charlotte and the Carolinas, of course, but nationally as well. Thousands paid their respects in person along the procession from Montreat to the Billy Graham Library, where he lay in honor. In Washington, thousands more visited as Graham lay in repose in the Capitol Rotunda. According to the History, Art & Archives of the U.S. House of Representatives, Graham was only the fourth private citizen not strictly because accorded this Keith of the church-state honor.

Franklin allowed end altogether, though last week that Billy Graham would be embarrassed by all the focus on him, tweeting speciﬁcally that his father “would not be comfortable with all of the attention in the Rotunda.” No man who would choose a plain pine box made by prison inmates as his ﬁnal earthly resting place, who would choose a simple ﬁeld stone for his grave marker and the words, “Preacher of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ” — could possibly want to see his followers fawning over him as fans, petitioning government for a holiday in his name. The man whom I’m sure would put a stop to all this holiday talk is, unfortunately, the man whom all this holiday talk is about. But Franklin, a few words from you could put this petition business into perspective, and to rest, right now. mittee meetings. There’s more like, if asked by the chairman or commander to give their opinion on some matter, they tell him they have nothing to say. After the meeting tell everyone how things should be done. Then do nothing more than absolutely necessary, but when other members use their ability to help matters along, howl that the post is run by a clique. The big one is, don’t bother helping or get new members, “let George do it.” Also “I’m too busy to do that.” The sad thing is, the older members are dying off, and there’s no new young members to take the place of the older ones.

The RedStorm posted a mercy rule-shortened 11-1 win in the opener and a 7-4 triumph over The RedStorm the Lions in the nightcap. will now return to Rio Grande, ranked No. 23 nationally in the NAIA action on Friday in the National preseason coaches’ poll, extended its win streak Fastpitch Coaches to three straight with the Association sweep and improved to Classic in 10-6 on the season. Columbus, Ga. Bryan slipped to 5-13 with the two losses. The host Lions grabbed a 1-0 ﬁrst inning lead in the opening game before Rio stormed back with four runs in the third inning and six markers in the ﬁfth. Senior Mallory Powell (Flatwoods, KY) led the RedStorm’s offensive onslaught with a career-high four hits - including a triple and a double - and three runs batted in. Freshman Kayla Slutz (Navarre, OH) went 3-for3 and drove in a run, while junior Carly Skeese (Newark, OH) hit a three-run home run and sophomore Michaela Criner (Bremen, OH) ﬁnished with two hits. The home run by Skeese highlighted the fourrun third inning, while Powell had two hits including a two-run single - to help fuel the six-run ﬁfth inning. Freshman Aubrey Azbill (Miamisburg, OH) scattered three singles, walked three and surrendered the one run in a complete game effort to earn the win in the pitcher’s circle. Olivia Johnson started and took the loss for the Lions. Game two saw Rio Grande jump to a 4-0 lead in the ﬁrst inning and the RedStorm were never headed. Azbill had a two-run single and fellow freshman Mary Pica (Minford, OH) added a run-scoring double in the ﬁrst inning uprising. Bryan cut the deﬁcit in half with a pair of third inning runs and both teams added a ﬁfth inning marker before the RedStorm extended the lead to 7-3 in the sixth inning thanks to a two-out throwing error. The Lions got one run back in the home half of the frame, but got no closer. Azbill ﬁnished 3-for-4 with the two RBI, while Criner and sophomore Lexi Philen (Tallmadge, OH) both had two hits of their own and Pica had two RBI in the winning effort. Powell earned the win in the circle, allowing six hits and a pair of earned runs over six innings. Junior Kelsey Conkey (Minford, OH) worked a scoreless seventh inning to earn a save. Lindsey Dunn started and lost for Bryan, while Heidi Smith had the Lions’ lone extra-base hit with a triple. Shortly after Tuesday’s sweep, Rio Grande learned that its scheduled twin bill at Hiwassee College on Wednesday had been cancelled due to poor ﬁeld conditions. The RedStorm will now return to action on Friday in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Classic in Columbus, Ga. Rio will face Calumet College of St. Joseph at 3:30 p.m. and ﬁfth-ranked Brenau University at 6 p.m. Randy Payton can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

Wright State’s 74-57 win earned a bid to the NCAA tourney, DETROIT (AP) — Grant Benzinger grew up watching the NCAA Tournament, looking up old highlights and locking in for “One Shining Moment,” with his dad, hoping to play in it someday. His dream is about to come true. Benzinger had 19 points and nine rebounds to help second-seeded Wright State beat eighth-seeded Cleveland State 74-57 on Tuesday night to win the Horizon League Tournament title and earn an NCAA Tournament bid. “It’s great to be a part of it now,” he said. The Raiders (25-9) will play in the NCAAs for the third time in school history and the ﬁrst since 2007. “I’m sure we’ll probably have a pretty high seed and we’ll play one of the top nine or 12 teams in the country,” coach Scott Nagy said. The Vikings (12-23) took their last lead with 7:36 left in the ﬁrst half and seemed to wear down, playing their fourth game in ﬁve days. Wright State took control late in the ﬁrst half with a 13-2 run, taking an eightpoint lead at halftime. The Raiders outscored Cleveland State 10-2 early in the second half to pull away. “There’s no excuse about being tired,” Cleveland State guard Kenny Carpenter said. Loudon Love made his ﬁrst ﬁeld goal with 14:42 left to put the Raiders up 44-33.

Bobcats, Herd announce schedules By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com It’s only March, but football season is just around the corner. The Marshall University and Ohio University football teams have announced schedules for the 2018 season, with both schools slated for six home games and six road contests. The Thundering Herd — coming off of an 8-5 campaign, including 4-4 in Conference USA — will open the season with four straight non-conference games, beginning with a trip to Oxford, Ohio on Sept. 1 to face Miami. The RedHawks fell by a 31-26 count in their season-opening trip to Marshall in 2017. Marshall — which was 4-2 in Huntington last season — takes the ﬁeld in front of its home fans for the ﬁrst time on Sept. 8 when Eastern Kentucky, a Football Championship Subdivision Division I team, visits Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Next MU will take a trip into SEC Country to face South Carolina on Sept. 15 at WilliamsBrice Stadium. Marshall won its only previous Marshall running back Tyler King leaps over a Western Kentucky defender during a Conference USA game on Nov. 11, 2017, in Huntington, W.Va. meeting with the Gamecocks, defeating them on their home ﬁeld in 1998. the Herd will welcome the ACC’s North Carolina State Wolfpack to Joan C. Edward Stadium on Sept. 22. The Herd will be trying to avenge a 37-20 loss to the Wolfpack from 2017. Marshall begins Conference USA play at Western Kentucky on Sept. 29, and will then welcome Middle Ten- nessee on Oct. 6. MU defeated both WKU and MTSU last season, but all-3 teams ﬁnished with 4-4 conference records. Following a bye week, the Herd will visit Old Dominion on Oct. 13. Marshall’s largest league victory of 2017 came in Huntington against the Monarchs. The Herd will be back at home on Oct. 20 to face defending conference champion Florida Atlantic. Marshall dropped a ﬁve-point decision to the Owls in Boca Raton last season. MU will travel to Southern Miss on Nov. 3, then the Herd have backto-back home games, facing Charlotte on Nov. 10 and UTSA on Nov. 17. Marshall’s will end the regular season with a trip to at Florida International on Nov. 24. Southern Miss, UTSA and FIU each defeated Marshall last season, while the Herd claimed a 14-3 victory at Charlotte. The Thundering Herd will play their annual spring game on April 28 at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The Bobcats —who were 9-4 including 5-2 in the Mid-American Conference in 2017 — begin the 2018 against Howard, an FCS Division I team, on Sept. 1 at Peden Stadium. Last season, Ohio was 5-1 on its home ﬁeld, including a win over FCS Division I’s Hampton. Following a bye week, the Bobcats will have back-to-back road games, visiting Virginia on Sept. 15 and Cincinnati on See SCHEDULES | 7 �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Thursday, March 8, 2018 7 On Basketball: It’s time to change the NBA draft rules By Tim Reynolds NBA elite. “And I don’t think you should be forced to go to college.” Thing is, that’s exactly what The NBA says it is seeking an answer to the one-and-done is happening.

It isn’t Kwame Brown’s from joining the ranks of the The Associated Press PITTSBURGH (AP) — Le’Veon Bell keeps saying he wants to stay with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers keep saying they want to keep one of the NFL’s best running backs in the fold for years to come. They have until July 16 to make it happen. The Steelers placed the exclusive rights franchise tag on the twotime All-Pro for a second straight spring on Tuesday, putting Bell’s longterm status with the club up in the air. Bell, a two-time All Pro, accounted for 1,946 total yards and 11 touchdowns for the AFC North champions in 2017. Both Bell and Steelers management Raiders From page 6 The 6-foot-9, 275-pound center ﬁnished with nine points and 12 rebounds, setting the school’s freshman scoring record and its single-season mark for rebounds. Wright State’s Cole Gentry and Jaylon Hall scored 11 points apiece. “Love displaced us all game,” Cleveland State coach Dennis Felton said. “We did a very, very good job establishing position, but he was just very persistent and very physical.” Carpenter, playing in his hometown, had 18 points and Tyree Appleby scored 15 for the Raiders. “To play in front of family, it’s just special,” Carpenter said. “It was a great experience and I’ll never forget it.” Big picture Cleveland State : Felton, who led Georgia and Western Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament, guided the low-seeded team to one-point wins over Northern Kentucky and fourth-seeded Oakland near its suburban Detroit campus to advance to the ﬁnals. That gave the Vikings their ﬁrst fourgame winning streak in four-plus years. “Even before this run to the championship, I know we accomplished a lot this year because we kept improving,” said Felton, who was in his ﬁrst year In support Wright State’s postgame celebration included giving Ryan Custer a championship cap. Custer had spinal cord surgery after an accident 11 months ago, putting the 6-foot-7 former Raiders forward in a wheelchair. “To have him here this weekend was wonderful,” Nagy said. “I know it was good for him and his family.” Up next Cleveland State: Felton started two freshmen — Appleby and Stefan Kenic — and will have to build around them next season after a lot of departures. “We’ll be starting all over two years in a row because next year, over half of our team will be new players,” Felton said. “So the few returning players that we have, they’ve got their work cut out for them in terms of leading the next group.” to draft an 18-year-old and he proves not to be ready for the rigors of the NBA, they can send him down to their farm team in Sioux Falls or Rio Grande or Lakeland and let him keep developing within their system. Plus, they can pay him. Which the NCAA can’t — or won’t — do. That has made the NBA’s age limit an easy target for the NCAA’s woes. A federal investigation into college basketball revealed what many suspected and others knew: Plenty of recruits and players are getting paid, and the scandal the game is facing right now will likely be felt for years to come. If an 18-year-old can go to the NBA and start getting paid for his labor, that should be allowed to happen. It’s not the NBA’s job to clean up college basketball, and eliminating the age limit won’t eliminate that problem, but it’ll help at least with the optics. It’ll be good business for the NBA. The ﬁrst 10 collegians taken in last year’s draft were freshmen. The ﬁrst 10 in this year’s draft might be the same. Some of these kids are NBAready. Some aren’t. said after the season they hoped to get a contract extension done quickly, but failed to do so by Tuesday’s deadline for teams to use the franchise tag. Bell is scheduled to make $14.54 million in 2018 if he signs the franchise tender and the two sides are unable to reach an agreement on a new deal. He skipped offseason workouts and training camp last summer before signing the tender on the eve of the regular season. The absence led to a sluggish start, though he was an indispensable part of Pittsburgh’s offense once again, breaking his own club record by catching 85 passes. The 25-year-old made the 2017 All-Pro team at the “ﬂex” position, one he considered a tribute to his versatility. Bell said repeatedly over the past year he believes he’s different than other backs in the league and wants to be paid accordingly. He is arguably the best receiving back in the NFL and he’s averaged nearly 25 touches a game in ﬁve seasons, though he’s only been healthy at the end of the year twice. Bell has twice been suspended by the NFL for violations of the substance abuse policy. Bell turned down a long-term deal with the Steelers last summer and told ESPN in January he would consider retiring if the Steelers used the franchise tag on him again. He backtracked a bit during the Pro Bowl when he said he believed a new contract was in the works. It was a sentiment echoed by both Steelers president Art Rooney II and general manager Kevin Colbert early in the offseason. Pittsburgh’s depth behind Bell is thin. James Conner carried the ball 32 times during his rookie season and the club signed Stevan Ridley at the end of the regular season as insurance. Bell tweeted Monday that regardless of the circumstances he wants to remain with the Steelers. THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST at the school. Wright State: Nagy led South Dakota State to the NCAA Tournament in 2016 for third time in ﬁve years. The Horizon League Coach of the Year can use that experience to help his players, who were young kids the last time the Raiders were in the NCAA Tournament 11 years ago. “Coach knows what it takes to get there and what to do when you’re there, so we’ll just follow his lead,” Benzinger said. one for each NBA club. Until then, the salaries — $25,000 or so for the majority of players, except for those on twoway deals making as much as $250,000 or so — won’t be able to get where near they need to be, either. “I think the question for the league is, in terms of their ultimate success, are we better off intersecting with them a little bit younger?” Silver said last month at the All-Star Game. “Are we better off bringing them into the league when they’re 18 using our G League as it was designed to be as a Development League and getting them minutes on the court there?” Put simply, that answer is yes. It would have to be addressed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, but the NBA Players Association would be on board so that won’t be an issue. The addition of two-way contracts this season has worked; more than 100 rookies have gotten a taste of NBA life this season, the highest total since the league’s earliest days seven decades ago.

That’s not the system’s fault. That system worked just ﬁne for LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler, Tracy McGrady and plenty of others. Jonathan Bender, Darius Miles, Andrew Bynum, not so much. The answer to this conundrum, for both the NBA and the NCAA: The G League. Who knows how things would have worked out for those three guys — and many others, Brown included — if the G League was then what it is now. The G League, as currently constructed, is up to 26 teams. Washington will join next season, New Orleans will then likely be next, and at that point Silver should simply order Portland and Denver to be like everyone else and add a franchise. And then the NBA will have a true development league.

Seattle ﬁnalized a $750,000, one-year deal with 44-year-old Japanese star on Wednesday after several outﬁelders got hurt. He can earn an additional $1.25 million in performance bonuses. Suzuki spent the ﬁrst 11 major league seasons with the Mariners, earning 2001 AL Rookie of the Year and MVP, winning a pair of batting titles and becoming a 10-time All-Star. He was traded to the New York Yankees midway through 2012, played parts of three seasons with the Yankees, then spent three seasons with Miami. He has a .312 average and 3,080 hits. Suzuki appeared in 136 games last year and hit .255 with a .318 on-base percentage. “The addition of Ichiro gives our team another versatile and athletic outﬁelder,” general manager Jerry Dipoto said in a statement. “His incredible work ethic, preparation and focus will enhance our environment in many ways. He’s truly one of the great players in the history of the game and his unquestionable presence is a valuable addition, both on the ﬁeld and in the clubhouse.” Ben Gamel is sidelined for at least a month with a strained oblique muscle, Mitch Haniger is dealing with a hand injury Coaches on hot seat heading into conference tourneys that has limited his activity for a couple of weeks, and Guillermo Heredia is still in the ﬁnal stages of recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. Suzuki underwent a physical in Seattle on Monday. His return is similar to the Mariners’ reunion with Ken Griffey Jr. in 2009 that was good for one year but had an ugly conclusion. Seattle has signiﬁcant concerns about depth in the outﬁeld, especially after the latest injury to Gamel. The question is why Seattle went with Suzuki rather than the likes of Jose Bautista, Carlos Gonzalez or John Jay, who were available as free agents and far younger than Suzuki. By Paul Newberry The Associated Press Mark Fox might need an improbable run through the Southeastern Conference tournament to save his coaching job. He’s hardly alone on the college basketball hot seat. From Georgia’s Fox to Pittsburgh’s Kevin Stallings to UConn’s Kevin Ollie, numerous coaches went into conference tournaments knowing their jobs could be in jeopardy without a few more wins. Excluding employment decisions that might be affected by myriad offthe-court issues, such as Auburn (Bruce Pearl) and Arizona (Sean Miller), here are some schools that might soon be looking for a new coach, if they haven’t already started the process: Patrick shifting gears for return to Indy 500 EMPLOYMENT Help Wanted General lis.

EURZVH�MREV��SRVW�\RXU�UHVXPH��JHW�DGYLFH jobmatchohio.com �SPORTS 10 Thursday, March 8, 2018 No franchise tag for Cousins, now set to hit free agency WASHINGTON (AP) — Kirk Cousins’ time with the Washington Redskins is about to end after they chose not to use the franchise tag on the quarterback as expected. The Redskins have agreed to acquire Alex Smith from the Kansas City Chiefs, effectively pushing Cousins into free agency following a tumultuous six years with the club the drafted him. Cousins will be the top free agent available when the league year opens in mid-March and should have no shortage of suitors. “Next week is now ofﬁcially the ﬁrst time since 2007 that I’ll be choosing where to play football,” Cousins posted on Twitter. “I’m open to suggestions.” The 29-year-old Cousins is coming off his third consecutive 4,000-yard passing season. In his time as a full-time NFL starter, he has completed 67 percent of his passes for 81 touchdowns, 36 interceptions and a 97.5 QB rating. Despite previously saying Washington could win with Cousins, coach Jay Gruden said at the scouting combine that “it’s time for us to move on” and ﬁnd some continuity at the position. The Redskins now seemingly have that in Smith, who will join the Redskins once the trade becomes ofﬁcial March 14 and has agreed to a four-year extension with $71 million guaranteed. Cousins could easily command more than that on the open market with the New York Jets, Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns among the teams interested in upgrading at quarterback. After becoming the ﬁrst QB in NFL history to play two consecutive seasons on the franchise tag — making almost $44 million in the process — Cousins is looking for longterm stability in the wake of almost-weekly questions about his future in Washington persisted over the past few years. Agent Mike McCartney declined to comment on the plans of the Cousins camp in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday. This is perhaps the ﬁrst time in Cousins’ football career that he has been No. 1 on any list. He did not have any scholarship offers as a high school senior, was not considered a top prospect after four years at Michigan State and got picked in the fourth round in 2012 by the Redskins — the same draft they traded up to make Robert Grifﬁn III the No. 2 pick. Korpisalo stops 37 shots Columbus beats Vegas 4-1 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Columbus backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo had lost three straight starts since his last victory on Jan. 18. He found out Tuesday morning he’d be playing in place of a sick Sergei Bobrovsky against the Paciﬁc Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights, and he turned in a gem. The 23-year-old Finn stopped 37 shots, and the Blue Jackets beat Vegas 4-1 and hung onto the second wild card in the Eastern Conference. “The team likes playing in front of him,” Columbus coach John Tortorella said. “There have been a few struggles here and there, but he was solid right from the get-go tonight.” Korpisalo got some offensive help in a tightchecking game that reﬂected the urgency for the Blue Jackets, who are battling Florida and Carolina — both of which lost Tuesday — for the ﬁnal wild card. Artemi Panarin and Pierre Luc-Dubois each had a goal and two assists, and Zach Werenski and Ian Cole also scored for the Blue Jackets, winners of two straight and four of their last six. “A lot of times this year, I think, (Korpisalo) went in and he was playing well but we 2018 CutestContest Pet Think your Pet has what it takes to be crowned the cutest pet around?

Vegas, in its ﬁrst visit to Columbus, knotted the score 90 seconds into the second period when Erik Haula snapped in a shot from the slot for his 24th goal. Haula is one of ﬁve Vegas forwards to have 20 or more goals this season. Werenski put the Blue Jackets up 2-1 at 8:01 of the second when he powered a one-timer through Fleury’s pads from beyond the left circle after a pass from Panarin. The tally by the 20-yearold Werenski was his 13th of the season, a franchise record for defensemen. Cole made it 3-1 at 9:47 of the second with his ﬁrst goal as a Blue Jacket after being acquired at the trade deadline. Dubois capped the scoring with an empty-net goal with 2:21 left. “It’s been tough the last four weeks,” Korpisalo said. “To ﬁnally get a win and help the team, it felt good. It’s something I can build on right now.” NOTES: Vegas’ leading scorer, William Karlsson, was cheered during ﬁrst trip back to Columbus after being snagged from the Blue Jackets in the expansion draft. … Vegas F Reilly Smith left the game in the second period and didn’t return after taking a hit from Columbus D David Savard.

(AP) — Jeff Gordon is among the new nominees up for induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame next year. The four-time NASCAR champion was added to the list of 20 nominees in the ﬁrst year Gordon was eligible. He retired from full-time competition after the 2015 season with 93 career Cup victories. He is currently an analyst for Fox Sports. Also added to the list this year were Harry Gant, a driver whose career spanned two decades and two series, four-time championship winning crew chief Kirk Shelmerdine, and car owners John Holman and Ralph Moody. The nominees were selected by a committee consisting of representatives from NASCAR, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, track owners from major facilities and historic short tracks, as well as Fox commentator Mike Joy. Nominated this year for the Landmark Award for contributions to the sport were former broadcaster Barney Hall, the namesake of the Squier-Hall Award for NASCAR Media Excellence, and Jim Hunter, a longtime NASCAR executive and former president of Darlington Raceway. Crew owner, MLS review Ohio suit COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Major League Soccer and the owner of the Columbus Crew say they’re reviewing a lawsuit that Ohio’s attorney general and the city of Columbus ﬁled to stop the proposed team move to Austin, Texas. The sports entities said Tuesday they’re disappointed that litigation was chosen rather than encouraging “constructive discussions” about the team’s future. They say they’re still willing to determine if there’s a “legitimate plan” to make the team viable. The lawsuit, announced Monday, cites a law that prohibits sports teams that have received public money from moving unless certain conditions are met. It was enacted after the original Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996. � �� 2006 F-250 SD XLT SUPERCAB LONG BED 4WD �� 2011 FORD 2011 JEEP GRAND 2015 TOYOTA 2014 FORD F-150 FUSION SPORT CHEROKEE TUNDRA SR5 V8 XLT SUPERCREW V6 AUTO OVERLAND 4WD CREW MAX 4WD 5.5 FT BED 4WD $15,995 $9,995 $17,995 $34,995 $25,995 2013 CHEVROLET 2011 TOYOTA SILVERADO 2500 TACOMA ACCESS HD LT CREW 4WD CAB 4WD 2011 GMC ACADIA DENALI AWD, LEATHER 2014 RAM 1500 SLT LWB 4WD 5.7 L V8 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE SPORT, LEATHER $34,995 $19,495 $16,995 $21,995 $14,995 www.huppautocenter.com OH-70033898 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
