Case closed: Rutland allowed to sell Old Bus Garage
County to receive funds toward water, sewer debt
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — The
Village of Rutland will be
able to complete the sale
of the “Old Bus Garage”
property to Commerce
Street Partners (for the
purpose of construction
of a Dollar General),
according to a settlement
in the lawsuit between
the village and Meigs
County.
Under the terms of the
settlement agreement
ﬁled on Tuesday and

signed by all involved
parties, the village may
dispose of the Old Bus
Garage in any manner
it sees ﬁt as long as the
disposal or transfer complies with all applicable
statutes, regulations,
laws and ordinances.
Typically, under Ohio
Revised Code, a government entity must
advertise public property
for sale and accept bids
either at auction or by
sealed bids for the property.
At Monday evening’s

Rutland Village Council
meeting Councilman
Steve Jenkins addressed
the legal way to sell the
property after obtaining
a legal opinion in the
matter.
Jenkins explained
to the council he was
questioning Rutland’s
stance as a chartered or
non-chartered village.
Jenkins contacted the
Board of Elections and
they informed him there
are no chartered villages
in the county, meaning
Rutland is a non-char-

tered village; however,
Jenkins explained the
Ohio Municipal League
(OML) website classiﬁed
Rutland as a chartered
village in the state of
Ohio. Jenkins contacted
an OML representative
and asked for records
to show the village was
chartered, when the
representative responded
it was explained that
they had made an error.
Jenkins researched the
differences of chartered
and non-chartered villages and was concerned
the village may have
violated the contract, so
he reached out to Scott

Solomon, Rutland’s
insurance company’s
litigator.
Jenkins read Solomon’s
response, a portion said,
“So long as the village of
Rutland has not adopted
a charter or ordinance
adopting provisions of
Chapter 721 of the Ohio
Revised Code…the village of Rutland has the
authority to dispose of
property in good faith
with any consideration
it deems proper without
compliance with chapter
721 of the Ohio Revised
Code, that’s as long as
the village is acting in
good faith in coming to

its agreement.”
Other terms of the
settlement include that
the County is receive a
payment of $30,000 once
the sale is completed or
within 30 days, whichever is earlier. The funds
are to be applied to the
water and sewer system.
Rutland is to transfer
property on New Lima to
the county. The property
may be utilized in the
installation of the new
sewer system in the village.

Blood donors urged to help restock
OHIO VALLEY — Though
spring has ofﬁcially arrived, the
American Red Cross blood supply is still recovering from severe
winter storms in March. Donors
of all blood types are urged to roll
up a sleeve and help save lives.
Winter weather in parts of the
country forced more than 270
blood drives to cancel, resulting
in over 9,500 uncollected blood
and platelet donations in the ﬁrst
two weeks of March. No matter
the weather, the need for blood to
help cancer patients, those undergoing surgeries, trauma patients
and others remains.
Volunteer blood donors from
across the country are needed to
help ensure lifesaving blood products are available for patients this
spring. Make an appointment to
donate blood by downloading the
free Red Cross Blood Donor App,

OBITUARIES
LARRY DALE CARSON
Larry Dale Carson,
age 78, passed away on
March 18, 2018 at Riverside Hospital in Columbus.
He was born on
November 30, 1939, to
Floyd Webster and Esther
Louise Starr Carson.
Larry graduated from
Rutland High School in
1958 where he excelled
at football. He always
shared great stories of
his time playing football
and of his beloved coach,
Jim Vennari. He served in
the Army at the Savanna
Army Depot for two
years which led him to
Hanover, Illinois. He lived
there for many years and
developed a lot of special
friendships. He drove
a tour bus for Tri-State
Tours in Galena, Illinois,
and then became a truck
driver for which he is
well-known, and earned
him the nickname”SemiGrandpa.” He spent several years driving for Heartland Express in Iowa City
and Columbus, before his
retirement. Larry was
an avid Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Reds,
and Cleveland Browns
fan. Larry’s love of his
Buckeyes and sports in
general was passed to his
sons and grandsons. In
fact, it was hard for his
daughter, Diana, to get
a word in when sports
was the topic. “Will you
listen to me?” was used
quite frequently when
she wanted to say something and is used today
when something needs
to be said. Larry was a
beloved Husband, Dad,
and Grandpa. He doted
on all of his grandchildren
and enjoyed teasing then
unmercifully. He loved
a good joke and enjoyed

both playing practical
jokes on people and
occasionally being on
the receiving end as well.
Larry loved spending
time with his wife, Linda
and was always making
sure that she was doing
okay. Larry’s hat collection was extensive and he
liked to agitate people by
wearing a certain hat just
to annoy them.
Larry will be missed
by his loving wife, Linda,
family and friends who
are comforted in knowing
that he is home with his
Lord and Savior.
He is survived by his
wife, Linda Williams
Carson, two children
Rick (Tammy) Carson of
Waunakee, Wisconsin,
and Diana (Kevin) Tritz
of Bellevue, Iowa. Three
Stepsons, Jeff (Hillary)
Austin of Gallipolis, Alex

Pleasant, West Virginia,
and Jimmy Austin of Gallipolis. Six grand children
Brockton, Shelbie, Taryn,

and Sophia Tritz, seven
step grandchildren Kasi,
Corey, Ashley, Andrew,

step great grandson Trennon.

death by his parents, son
Robert Dale (Bob) Carson, and stepson, Robert
Scott (Bobby) Austin.

at a southwestern Ohio apartment complex displaced families from a dozen apartments that were
left uninhabitable, but no one was hurt.
The ﬁre early Tuesday morning spread on the
third ﬂoor of a complex in Fairﬁeld, roughly 15
miles (24 kilometers) north of downtown Cincinnati.
The American Red Cross says 35 people were
displaced, including residents of the damaged
apartments and those from another dozen apartments where the utilities were temporarily shut off
because of the blaze.

Ohio Republican lawmakers
propose banning all abortions
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — All abortions would
be banned in Ohio under a proposal introduced by
Republican state lawmakers.
The bill would prohibit abortions even in cases of
rape, incest or danger to a woman’s life.
Cleveland.com reports the proposal would allow
criminal charges against pregnant women seeking abortions and would characterize an “unborn
human” as a person under Ohio’s criminal code
regarding homicide.
The abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice
Ohio criticized the proposal, saying it could let
doctors face murder charges punishable by prison

or death sentences.
Reps. Ron Hood, of Ashville, and Nino Vitale, of
Urbana, sponsored the measure, and more House
Republicans signed on.
Ohio has incrementally added abortion restrictions in recent years. Last week, a judge put on
hold a state ban on abortions based on a diagnosis
of Down syndrome.

Accident kills forklift operator
at glass maker’s plant
MORAINE, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say an accident at an automotive glass manufacturer’s plant has
resulted in the death of a forklift operator in southwestern Ohio.
Chinese glass maker Fuyao Glass America Inc. and
authorities didn’t immediately release the circumstances of Tuesday’s accident at its plant in Moraine,
about 45 miles (72 kilometers) northeast of Cincinnati.
The Montgomery County Coroner’s Ofﬁce has
ruled 57-year-old Ricky Patterson’s death an accident. The coroner’s ofﬁce says the Dayton man died
from blunt force injury to the head and neck.
Workers who unsuccessfully tried to unionize have
alleged unsafe conditions at the site. Fuyao says
safety is its top priority.

Michigan, Ohio see rise
in immigrant arrests
DETROIT (AP) — A newspaper review of federal records has found that the number of immigrants
arrested or deported by federal agents in Michigan
and Ohio has risen in the past year as President
Donald Trump’s administration has increased immigration enforcement.
The Detroit Free Press reviewed data from the
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and
the U.S. Border Patrol. The review found that the
agencies each saw about a 50 percent increase in
deportations and arrests from 2016 to 2017.

THEIR VIEW

Putting the ‘N’ in
SNAP should be a
farm bill priority
WASHINGTON — As Congress begins its
deliberations on this year’s farm bill, it’s time to
pay more attention to the “N” in the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, or
SNAP.

Launched as a pilot program by
Martin and
President
John F. Kennedy and
G. William

Contributing
program — now SNAP — has
columnists
enjoyed bipartisan support over its
nearly 60-year history. From its initial goals of supporting farm incomes and ensuring low-income families did not face hunger, it has
evolved into an effective anti-poverty program.
That evolution continues
today with a focus on
“…the task force
nutrition.

The program, unique
when compared to other eliminating

security than similar nonvegetables.”
participating households.
But for many of today’s
participants, the problem is not a lack of calories
but the type of calories they consume. Unhealthy
calories are contributing to many chronic conditions from obesity to diabetes and heart disease.
And with tens of millions of Medicare and Medicaid recipients receiving food assistance, public
health care expenditures are increasing.
In the 2008 Farm Bill, Congress responded to
the worsening obesity epidemic by acknowledging
the need to improve the program’s focus on nutrition. Besides the name change to SNAP, the bill
created a new Healthy Incentives Pilot program
to provide recipients with incentives to increase
their consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
It was expanded in the 2014 Farm Bill and became
the Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Grant Program, or FINI.
Nearly a year ago, to accelerate putting the “N”
in SNAP, the Bipartisan Policy Center launched
a high-level SNAP Task Force, headed by two former secretaries of Agriculture — Republican Ann
Veneman and Democrat Dan Glickman — along
with former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a
heart and lung transplant surgeon. They released
their recommendations last week.
To prioritize nutrition in SNAP, their ﬁrst recommendation was to make “diet quality” a core
objective and to instruct the U.S. Department of
Agriculture to focus on the nutrition of SNAP
recipients. Currently, USDA — and state administrators — focus their efforts on minimizing food
insecurity and maximizing program integrity
through fraud and abuse reduction. While these
important goals need to be retained, they should
be supplemented with an increased focus on how
SNAP is affecting participants’ nutrition — an
aspect the program currently lacks.
In addition, the task force recommended
eliminating sugar-sweetened beverages from
the program, combined with continued support
for incentives to consume fresh fruits and vegetables. There is clear evidence linking sugarsweetened beverages to adverse health outcomes,
and research shows that when these two dietary
approaches are combined, the health beneﬁts are
magniﬁed.
Nothing in the task force’s recommendations
precludes individuals from purchasing sugarsweetened beverages with their own resources.
The task force simply believes that federal subsidies (which were once available to tobacco farmers) should not be used for beverages detrimental
to an individual’s health and, more broadly, to taxpayers through Medicare and Medicaid costs.
Because these two policies alone will not solve
the problem of poor diets, USDA should also test
a range of other comprehensive, multipronged
interventions to improve SNAP diets. Nutrition
promotion research is being conducted across the
country, and we need a mechanism for testing
interventions within SNAP and expanding viable
ones.
In addition, we should continue strengthening retailer standards, which would improve the
food environment for all shoppers. Public health
researchers and behavioral economists are devising promising strategies to nudge shoppers toward
healthier options, and USDA should explore incorporating them into SNAP.
USDA and state administrators would also

SNAP dollars are being spent. Currently, the
department does not know exactly what products
are being purchased with the $60 billion in annual
SNAP beneﬁts. Access to purchase data is limited

THEIR VIEW

Why Facebook users should beware
This editorial written
by the Chicago Tribune
Editorial Board, Chicago Tribune:
Ever take one of those
silly personality tests on
Facebook? Your friends
took the quiz (“What
city should you actually
live in?” was a popular
one), so you followed
the link to a website,
answered some questions and shared the
result: “Paris.” All in
good fun within your
private social media
group, right?
Yes, unless information from a quiz like
that was harvested
without consent or
knowledge by a political
data ﬁrm connected to
the Trump campaign. In
which case, your private
musings may have contributed to a “psychographic modeling” effort
to identify and inﬂuence
American voters.
That’s the damning
centerpiece of news
reports about Facebook
and Cambridge Analytica, a data ﬁrm founded
by supporters of Donald
Trump. There’s a lot
to be explored in the
wake of investigative
reporting by The New
York Times and The
Observer of London,
but this privacy breach
has the feel of a water-

shed moment in digital
history. It relates to the
devious appropriation
of personal social media
info for political gain.
We expect Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg,
and those connected to
Cambridge Analytica,
will have to answer for
this to the public, Facebook users, law enforcement authorities and
members of Congress.
Here’s some of what
we know: Cambridge
Analytica, founded by
conservative ﬁrebrand
Steve Bannon and
Republican donor Robert Mercer, hired Russian-American researcher Aleksandr Kogan to
create a quiz designed
to identify Facebook
users’ personality traits,
political views and other
characteristics, such
as fair-mindedness or
life satisfaction. The
quiz participants, and
Facebook, were told the
information was for academic purposes. Instead
the data went to Cambridge Analytica.
That’s only part of the
story. About 270,000
people agreed to take
the test, but Kogan’s
tools also could scrape
information from participants’ Facebook
friends. According to
the Times, Cambridge

“Even if no voters were influenced, Facebook
apparently failed to prevent the misuse
of private information from 50 million
Americans for political purposes.”
Analytica obtained private information from
the Facebook proﬁles
of more than 50 million users without their
permission — all to help
inﬂuence several elections, including Trump’s
run for president.
Christopher Wylie, a
Cambridge Analytica
founder turned whistleblower, said in an interview with The Guardian
that the information
culled from Facebook
included status updates
and, in some cases,
private messages. “We
would know what kinds
of messaging you would
be susceptible to, and
where you are going to
consume that,” Wylie
explained. “And then
how many times do we
need to touch you with
that in order to change
how you think about
that.”
We don’t know for
certain if this data
swayed voters in any
elections. But the
Trump campaign, which
used Cambridge Analytica, claimed that it
successfully applied

data-driven techniques
to target Trump voters.
The Times said information from the breach
underpinned the ﬁrm’s
work on Trump’s campaign.
For Facebook users,
here’s the rub: Even if
no voters were inﬂuenced, Facebook apparently failed to prevent
the misuse of private
information from 50
million Americans for
political purposes. This
is a scandalous ﬂub by
the social media giant.
We anticipate scrutiny of Facebook that
includes regulatory and
congressional questions. There may be no
appropriate measures to
control the ﬂow of information in a free society,
but let Zuckerberg and
others rethink their
social media businesses
and security practices.
For social media
users, the message
feels clearer than ever:
Beware. Wherever you
go and whatever you say
online is potentially of
value to others. If they
see it, they may grab it.

1,100 structures; one
death was reported.
In 1804, the French
civil code, or the “Code
Napoleon” as it was
later called, was adopted.
In 1925, Tennessee
Gov. Austin Peay (pee)

1967.)
In 1935, Persia ofﬁcially changed its name
to Iran.
In 1946, the recently

WASHINGTON —
The American Farm
Bureau Federation and

presented Sen. Rob
Portman (R-Ohio) with
AFBF’s Golden Plow
award. The Golden Plow
is the highest honor the
organization gives to
sitting members of Congress.
“Senator Portman is
a champion for farmers,
particularly on regulatory reform,” said AFBF
President Zippy Duvall.
As lead sponsor of the
Regulatory Accountability Act, he “is working to
bring common sense to
the federal rule-making
process,” Duvall noted.
“Farm Bureau is grateful
for his dedicated service
to agriculture and rural

bility for paying the electrical service for the Old
Bus Garage which had
been paid by the county.
The agreement settles
a case ﬁled in early 2017
by the county against the
village. The county contended that the Old Bus
Garage was part of the
water and sewer district
and should have been
deeded to the county
as part of the original
agreement. The village
argued that the property
was not part of the water
and sewer system and
they should be able to do
with it as desired.

White Falcons
whip Wirt
County, 14-2
By Scott Jones

ELIZABETH, W.Va. — Score early, score often.
The Wahama varsity baseball team opened
its 2018 campaign in spectacular fashion as the
guests handed the Tigers their ﬁrst loss of the
season by a ﬁnal of 14-2 in ﬁve innings on Monday
night in Wirt County.
The White Falcons (1-0) soared to a 4-0 advantage in the opening frame, providing WHS starting pitcher Dalton Kearns with all the run support
he would need en route to the win.
The Red and White added two additional runs
in the top of the second inning, but Wirt County
(0-1) cut the deﬁcit to 6-2 in the bottom half of the
frame..
Following a lead-off walk to Wirt County’s Dalton Logan and a single by Nathan Murray, the Red
and White appeared poised to escape the inning
without surrendering a run as Kearns retired the
next two Tigers hitters by way of strikeout.
Wirt County, however, beneﬁted from four
passed balls and two more walks before the White
Falcons ended the inning with a strikeout of Hunter Hickman.
Wahama tacked on ﬁve more runs in the top of
the third inning to push its lead to 11-2. The Red
and White sent nine hitters to the plate in the top
half of the frame combining for three hits, including two extra base hits and two walks.
The White Falcons added a run in the fourth
and two more in the ﬁfth inning to close out the
12 run victory.
Kearns was the winning pitcher for Wahama
as he surrendered two hits, while striking out six
and giving up ﬁve walks in three innings of work.
Kearns also went 1-of-4 at the plate with a triple
and scored a run.
David Hendrick, who provided two innings of
relief, allowed one hit two walks and struck out
three. Hendricks also proved productive in the batter’s box, as went 1-of-3 with a triple, a walk and
two runs scored.
Tanner Smith was 1-of-3 on the night with a
home run, while Colton Arrington had two hits
and scored twice for WHS.
Tyler Bumgarner provided a single and scored
a run, as Antonio Serevicz collected a double, a
walk, stole two bases and scored twice.
The Red and White also stole nine bases collectively in the contest, four of which came in the top
of the ﬁfth inning.

COLUMBUS, Ohio
– The Division IV boys
basketball All-Ohio
teams were announced
Monday by a statewide
media panel. The teams
were selected by members of the Ohio Prep
Sportswriters Association.
The Ohio Valley Publishing area had three
players chosen to the
D-4 squads as honorable
mention selections, with
Southern, Eastern and
South Gallia each coming away with a single
honoree.
All three local choices
are ﬁrst-time recipients
of an All-Ohio selection,
and each honoree just
completed his junior
season on the hardwood.
Weston Thorla — a
6-foot-3 guard — led
the Tornadoes (14-8) in
scoring this season and
posted averages of 13.8
points and 3.1 rebounds
each night.
Braxton Hardy — a
6-foot-2 guard — paced
the Rebels (7-17) in
scoring and accounted
for 17.9 points, 5.2
rebounds and 3.3 assists
per game.
Isaiah Fish — a 6-foot
guard — led the Eagles
(10-13) in scoring with
13.7 points per game
while also averaging ﬁve
rebounds a contest.

All three local selections were also second
team honorees on the
2018 OPSWA All-Southeast District squad for
Division IV this winter.
Senior Michael Bothwell of Willoughby Cornerstone Christian was
named the state’s D-4
Player of the Year, while
Chad Bever of Rittman

WVU has short turnaround
to get ahead of storm
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — For the second straight
year, a major winter storm has scrambled West Virginia’s travel plans for the NCAA Tournament.
About 20 hours after arriving back on campus from
the West Coast, the Mountaineers left Tuesday to
begin preparations for Friday’s Sweet 16 appearance
in Boston against Villanova.
The Mountaineers had returned Monday night
from a 2,500-mile trip to San Diego, only to ﬁnd out
a few hours later they’d be leaving a day early for the
regional semiﬁnals. The storm was already churning
through West Virginia on Tuesday and was heading
toward New England, where up to a foot of snow was
expected.
Last March the Mountaineers left a day early on
a bus ahead of a snowstorm rather than risk ﬂight
delays to Buffalo, New York.

Steelers sign former Green
Bay safety Burnett to deal
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers
have started their overhaul in the secondary, signing
free agent safety Morgan Burnett to a three-year deal.
The deal, announced Tuesday, is pending Burnett
passing a physical. Financial terms were not released.
The 29-year-old Burnett has played all eight seasons
of his NFL career in Green Bay, collecting 683 tackles,
44 passes defensed, nine interceptions and 10 fumble
recoveries during his time with the Packers. Burnett
started 102 games for Green Bay and won a Super
Bowl ring in 2011, when the Packers beat Pittsburgh.
The Steelers are revamping their secondary this
offseason. The defending AFC North champions cut
safeties Mike Mitchell and Rob Golden last week.

fourth straight time.
“If it’s not one thing,
it’s another,” James
said.
James scored 17
points in the third quarter and ﬁnished with 12
rebounds and 10 assists
for his 16th triple-double this season and 71st
of his career.
The four-time MVP
took over in the third
beginning with back-toback 3-pointers. After
not getting a foul called
on a third attempt, he
ﬁnished Cleveland’s
next possession with
a massive dunk. He
was fouled attempting
another dunk and made
both free throws the fol-

lowing time down.
James expressed his
displeasure, as did the
crowd at Quicken Loans
Arena, after the ofﬁcials
didn’t call a foul when
he attempted his third
3-pointer. He quickly
took out his frustration
on the next two possessions.
James is trying to use
humor in dealing with
the lack of calls.
“I got hit in the head
three times today, got
elbowed in the nose,”
he said. “It is what it is
at this point. I went to
keep pushing and try
not to get caught up in
the battle with the calls
that should be called.”

Daily Sentinel

Cincinnati commiserates again, this time over ‘Black Sunday’
CINCINNATI (AP) —
They’re commiserating
about “Black Sunday” in
the chili parlors around
town. And there’s plenty
of company in the city’s
latest sports misery.
They’ve seen this oh-somany times.
No other city went
into the NCAA Tournament with such pride and
expectations. Xavier had
the ﬁrst No. 1 seed in its
history. Cincinnati was a
No. 2 with aspirations of
a long-awaited run deep
into March. They’d spent
the last half of the season
shoulder-to-shoulder in
the AP Top 25 , ﬁnishing
at No. 3 and No. 6.
Surely this would be
a March to remember
around town, right?
Instead, it added two
more breathtaking meltdowns to the city’s recent
history of them.
Cincinnati matched the
second-biggest collapse
in NCAA Tournament
history on Sunday, blowing a 22-point lead — 22
points! — in the last 11
minutes for a 75-73 loss
to Nevada in Nashville. A
few minutes later, Xavier

took to the same court
and blew a 12-point lead
in the second half while
losing to Florida State
75-70 .
All those folks who
made the ﬁve-hour drive
watched in horror as their
dreams of a Sweet Cincinnati 16 turned sour in a
few hours.
“You know, we don’t
lose too often around
here,” Cincinnati guard
Jacob Evans III said. “So
whenever we do lose, it’s
a shock.”
It’s not really shocking anymore. Cincinnati sports teams have
excelled at pulling off the
improbable postseason
defeat for nearly a generation.
The Reds are the
city’s cherished team
— baseball’s ﬁrst professional franchise, the one
that produced Big Red
Machine dominance in
the 1970s. That was then.
This is now: no National
League pennant since a
1990 World Series title.
The Reds made the
playoffs in 1995, beat
the Dodgers and were
swept by the Braves. That

not the Texans — and
lost to the Raiders in the
next game.
They haven’t won a
playoff game since, the
sixth-longest streak of
futility in NFL history.
They’re 0-7 in the playoffs since 1990, all under
Marvin Lewis. Carson
Palmer got his left knee
shredded on his ﬁrst
pass of a playoff loss to
the Steelers in 2005. The
Bengals lost ﬁve straight
ﬁrst-round playoff games
from 2011-15.
The torment reached
new depths during the
2015 season. Fans were
dancing in the aisles at
Paul Brown Stadium
after the Bengals seemed
to have a playoff victory

ﬁve-game series in 2012. started on that one.

Nova’s Wright, 76ers’
Brown became
friends in West Bank
helped get the Philly-area
coaches involved in the
outreach program.
Wright said he was
humbled by the experience.
“I remember being
on a court in Ramallah on the West Bank,
a broken-up basketball
court. We could hardly
even dribble.” he said. “I
had 10 Palestinian kids at
one end of the court and
he had 10 at the other
end of the court. I could
hear him down there
talking: ‘Get down low.
Put your ﬁngertips on
the ground.’ I remember
thinking, here’s an NBA
coach working with these
young kids, and these
kids hadn’t even seen
a basketball, and he’s
intensely teaching them
and enjoying it.”
The highlight of the
trip came when Palestinian, Israeli and American
high schoolers played a
game together. Wright
visited Al-Aqsa Mosque,
the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher, the Dome of
the Rock and the Mount
of Olives on a tour of
Jerusalem.
But the press and the
post up came up as much
as peace when Brown
and Wright got together
over meals.
“We had lunch in
Ramallah on the West
Bank and … there would
always be a time at lunch
where he and I would
get together and just
start talking basketball
at a table with everybody
around,” Wright said. “It
was funny because it was
so intense and then we
would always gravitate
toward each other, sneak
in (talking) basketball.”
Brown will be rooting
for Wright and the Wildcats to win their second
national championship in
three years.
Villanova is a heavy
favorite to win it all.
Here are some things to
know:
Old Big East
The Wildcats (32-4)
will try to knock off ﬁfthseeded West Virginia
(26-10), a former Big
East Conference rival, on
Friday night to avoid the
rash of upsets that have
hit some of the tournament’s top teams.

PHILADELPHIA
(AP) — The bond that
connects Jay Wright and
Brett Brown was forged
in the Holy Land, where
the Philadelphia-area
coaches taught basketball on ﬂoors lined with
rubble, bent rims and no
nets.
The setting was far
removed from anything
that resembled Brown’s
“Process” with the Philadelphia 76ers or the powerhouse Villanova program built by Wright. But
on a 2015 goodwill summer trip to the Middle
East designed to unite
children from communities in conﬂict through
basketball, Wright and
Brown received an education on a journey through
Jerusalem and Ramallah
that has shaped both
men.
“To get on a bus and
have an 18-year-old with
an AK-47, Jay and I are
on the bus and you’ve
got some young people
that are checking us all
out, it’s a little bit nervewracking,” Brown said.
“Finally, we end up getting to Ramallah in the
West Bank, and we’re on
a desert dirt playground
with a broken hoop doing
a clinic. The experience
and spending time with
him was great.”
Brown and Wright
texted each other this
week after the top-seeded
Wildcats advanced to the
Sweet 16 and began preparations for the NCAA
Tournament regional
ﬁnal in Boston. Brown
has the 76ers poised to
clinch their ﬁrst playoff
berth since 2012, and
possibly home-court
advantage in the ﬁrst
round.
“He’s good people. He’s
a hell of a coach,” Brown
said. “I’m a big fan.”
Brown and Wright are
involved with PeacePlayers International. The
U.S-based organization
was founded in 2001 on
the idea that children
who play together can
learn to live together.
Golden State Warriors
coach Steve Kerr is
among the notable names
on the board of directors,
and it was former agent
Arn Tellem and San
Antonio Spurs general
manager R.C. Buford that

Central Michigan stuns Ohio State in NCAA regional
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Cassie Breen
threw the ball high the
air as the clock wound
down Monday night on
the biggest victory in
Central Michigan women’s basketball history.
Seconds later her joyous
teammates and coaches
were falling into each
other’s arms.
Presley Hudson scored
28 points and the No. 11
Chippewas hit a seasonhigh 14 3-pointers in
stunning No. 3 Ohio
State 95-78 on Monday
night to earn the school’s
ﬁrst ever trip to the
Sweet 16.
Central Michigan (304) had won its ﬁrst tournament game ever in Saturday’s ﬁrst-round upset
of No. 6 Louisiana State.
With the improbable rout
of streaking Ohio State,
the Chippewas advance
to face No. 2 Oregon in
Spokane, Washington, on
Saturday.
“We’re living the life
right now,” Breen said.
“We’re on the highest

frequency, and we just
want to keep it there. We
want to celebrate with
everybody.”
Central Michigan outrebounded and out-hustled Ohio State, played
taut defense and kept the
Buckeyes at bay late in
the game.
The Chippewas got
plenty of help in the
upset from the errorprone Buckeyes, who
got behind in the ﬁrst
half and then were run
over by momentum and
couldn’t climb back in.
Central Michigan led by
as much as 23 points in
the second half as Ohio
State struggled to put
together a run that would
shift the tide.
“I think it was more
mentally when things
weren’t going our way,
we didn’t respond to that
adversity like we have,
and those were the times
Central Michigan really
made us pay,” Ohio State
coach Kevin McGuff
said.
All-American guard

“We lost,” said an
emotional Mitchell when
asked about the feat.
“That’s all I can say.”
Breen had 22 points,
and Tinara Moore
added 20 points and
10 rebounds in Central
Michigan’s balanced
attack. The team his
14 of 27 3-point tries,
including Breen’s 5 for 9.
“This team will not
fold,” Chippewas coach
Sue Guevara said. “This
team is very tough, this
team is very focused. We
know what we had to do
and we went out and did
it.”
Stephanie Mavunga
had 16 points and 15
rebounds, and Linnae
Harper added 14 points
for Ohio State (28-7).

Kelsey Mitchell led Ohio
State (28-7) with 28
points but hit just 11 of
her 29 shots from the
ﬂoor. Mitchell ended

her storied career as the
second-leading scorer in
NCAA history, but it was
wasted as the Buckeyes
were denied their third

straight trip to the Sweet
16. Mitchell passed
Jackie Stiles on Monday
and ﬁnished with 3,402
points.

Leah Cochran walked to load the
bases, then Byus scored on a wild pitch
that allowed both Amber Hatﬁeld and
Rachael Grimm — a pair of courtesy
runners — to move up one base.
Hatﬁeld was cut down at the plate
on a ﬁelder’s choice that put Kelsey
Price safely on base, then Izabella King
delivered a two-out single that plated
Grimm for a 2-0 contest.
Price later scored on a single by
Madilyn Keefer, giving the Lady
Knights a 3-0 cushion just one-half
inning into play.
A one-out single by Mercedes Bush
and an error that allowed Molly Collins
to reach safely gave Poca runners on the
corners, then a wild pitch allowed Bush
to score as Collins moved over to third.
Collins eventually scored on a two-

out inﬁeld error that allowed Karli Hill
to reach safely while pulling the hosts
back to within 3-2 an inning into the
game.
After starting the top of the second
with an out, PPHS received back-toback singles from Peyton Jordan and
Byus. Tanner King followed with a walk
that loaded the bases, then Cochran
singled home Jordan for a 4-2 cushion.
With the bases still loaded with only
one away, Price drove a 0-2 offering
deep over the left-center ﬁeld fence
while increasing the lead from two runs
to six.
The Lady Knights, however, mustered only three hits the rest of the way
and managed to put only one baserunner beyond ﬁrst base in the ﬁnal ﬁveplus frames.
