Several roads and
highways along the
river are expected to be
ﬂooded as a result of
the water levels.

Storm water issues addressed
By Erin Perkins

eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — The
recent storms and heavy
rains increased problems
on a Pomeroy street.
Pomeroy Village
Administrator John
Witherell reported the
two inches of rain from
earlier in the week
backed up the culvert on
Fisher Street from the
water build up.

At the Pomeroy council meeting this week,
Mitch Altier updated the
council on the current
situation of the storm
water project for Fisher,
Lincoln Hill, Peacock,
Butternut, and Mulberry.
Altier shared additional
work was being projected
for Fisher. He said the
top work of the street
was completed, but
deeper parts of the storm
sewer are giving the proj-

ect’s team issues, and so
Fisher is being held off
towards the end of the
project.
Altier stated, “The
unofﬁcial pond area
there…the northeast
corner of Fisher and
Spring, for the whatever reason…the 30 inch
culvert through there is
not draining…it’s threefourths plugged and then
when we get a heavy rain
coming out of the bot-

tom of the hillside, we
get water seeping out of
the hill, so it’s one of two
things, either it’s plugged
and coming around the
pipe then following the
sewer line down and
then coming out or two
it’s coming down there…
beside the old 30 inch.”

in Meigs County
court against Holter
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — A civil lawsuit has been ﬁled
by one of the victims in the criminal case against
Edward Holter.
The action, ﬁled in Meigs County Common
Pleas Court, asks for monetary damages from
Holter, as well as Holter Holstien Farms, where
the victim was employed at the time of the allegations.
Holter, 56, of Pomeroy, pleaded guilty in early
March to three counts of gross sexual imposition,
each a fourth-degree felony, as charged in a bill of
information ﬁled by Angela Canepa of the Ohio
Attorney General’s Ofﬁce who is serving as a special prosecutor in the case.
The complaint ﬁled in the civil action on March
30 by Attorney Sky Pettey of Athens details the
allegations committed by Holter against the
female victim who was under 18 at the time of the
offense.
The complaint outlines three claims for relief
against Holter: 1. Childhood sexual abuse/civil
assault and battery; 2. Sexual harassment under
Ohio Revised Code 4112.02; 3. Intentional inﬂiction of emotional distress.
The plaintiff alleges that on Feb. 5, 2012, she
had “unlawful non-consensual sexual contact”
with the plaintiff by force or threat of force. At
that time, the plaintiff was employed by Holter on
the dairy farm, with Holter having “temporary or
occasional disciplinary control” over the plaintiff.
The complaint goes on to state that the plaintiff
was touched by the defendant on more than one
occasion.
Holter is alleged to have “engaged in a pattern
of severe and pervasive harassment, including but

Viewing and funeral services will be at the

our actions show that we too often
love ourselves more than we love
God, and our desires are to please
ourselves ﬁrst and foremost.
In a like manner, Jesus could
honestly say of Himself, “the Son
of Man came not to be served but
to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28;
ESV) The life of Jesus was spent in
doing good for other people, even
to the point of being willing to die
on their behalf. Jesus was able to
put the needs of others before His
own desires.
This is because Jesus truly loved
other people more than He loved
Himself.
The second great commandment
is to love our neighbor as our self.
(cf. Matthew 22:39) Unfortunately,
our actions show that we too often
love ourselves more than we love
other people, and our desire is to
please ourselves ﬁrst and foremost.
The desire of the righteous is
good because the righteous desire
good things. They desire to be
pleasing to God, and they desire
to serve the needs of others. When
these things are our desires, our
priorities, motivations and actions
will all line up accordingly, producing good results in our lives. It is
in such desire that we will begin to
be more like the Christ who gave
Himself for us.
If you would like to learn more
about Christ, and the example He
gave to us, the church of Christ
invites you to study and worship
with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. Likewise, if you
have any questions, please share
them with us through our website:

Staff Sgt. Kevin Black, 36, of Kenmore, N.Y., of the New York National
Guard keeps an eye on a group of suspected illegal immigrants
near the Arizona-Mexico border in Sasabe, Ariz., in 2007. National
guard contingents in U.S. states that border Mexico say they are
waiting for guidance from Washington to determine what they
will do after President Donald Trump’s proclamation directing
deployment to fight illegal immigration and drug smuggling. The
National Guard in Texas said in a statement Thursday that the
deployment is in “very early planning stages.”

ernors of Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas have
backed the deployment
but it was unclear Thursday how Democratic
California Gov. Jerry
Brown would respond to
Trump’s call.
Brown’s ofﬁce repeatedly referred requests
for comment to the California National Guard,
which said the state ﬁrst
must be informed where
money for the deployment would come from,
how long it would last
and clearly deﬁne the
operation’s objectives.
In Washington, Marine
Lt. Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie told reporters at the
Pentagon that it has not
yet been determined how
many, if any, of the troops
in the border security
operation will be armed.
Trump ordered the
deployment because “we
are at a crisis point” with
illegal immigration, Sec-

retary Kirstjen Nielsen of

“We’d like to stop it
before the numbers get

Nielsen said guard
members would provide
support to border ofﬁcials, “help look at the
technology, the surveillance, in some cases
we’ll ask for some ﬂeet
mechanics” and free up
agents trained in law
enforcement for other
duties.
Arrests along the U.S.
border with Mexico
jumped to 50,308 in
March, a 37 percent
increase from February,
and more than triple the

Foreman Kenny Lane rides on the back of a garbage truck last
month as he works a residential route in Miamisburg, Ohio.
Fifty years after two sanitation workers’ deaths provoked
a historic strike in Memphis, trash collection remains one
of the nation’s most dangerous jobs. In the first 10 days
of 2018 alone, seven sanitation workers were killed in six
states, the Solid Waste Association of North America says.
The association is working to pass legislation in 16 states,
including Ohio, New York, Illinois and Kentucky, creating
penalties for motorists who don’t slow down and give garbage
collectors enough space.

Sanitation worker

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kenny Lawson loved
being a garbage collector.
The Germantown, Ohio, resident enjoyed working outdoors alongside his family, throwing his
“solid as a horse” frame into physical labor that
made people’s lives better. One customer left a
cooler near the curb on hot days ﬁlled with cold
pop.
“We treated them as family, they treated us as
family,” Lawson said.
It all ended on March 12, 1996, in an explosion
of speed. A car hurtled into Lawson, then 26, at
40 mph as he was retrieving a can from the truck,
pinning him underneath the truck and wrenching
his body nearly in half. His spine was crushed and
he lost his legs.
“He didn’t even hit the brakes. He didn’t see the
truck sitting there,” Lawson said. “It was a pretty
dramatic hit. For the ﬁrst three weeks, they told
my wife I was dead.”
Lawson miraculously survived and he’s gone on
to become a poster child for the risks of an industry that most people take for granted.
Fifty years after two sanitation workers’ deaths
sparked a historic strike in Memphis that’s intertwined with the assassination of Martin Luther
King Jr., trash collection remains one the nation’s
most dangerous jobs.

AP: Record
number of
women file
to run for US
House seats

CHERRY HILL,
N.J. — The number of
women running for the
U.S. House of Representatives set a record
Thursday, the vast majority of them Democrats
motivated by angst over
President Donald Trump
and policies of the
Republican-controlled
Congress.
Their ranks will continue to grow, with candidate ﬁling deadlines still
to come in more than half
the states.
In many places, women
are running for congressional seats that have
never had a female representative.
“It’s about time,”
said Kara Eastman of
Nebraska, one of two
Democrats vying to challenge a GOP incumbent
in a district centered in
Omaha.
A surge of women into
this year’s midterm elections had been expected
since the Women’s March
demonstrations nationwide just after Trump’s
inauguration in January
2017. Numbers analyzed
by The Associated Press
show that momentum is
continuing.
After Virginia released
its candidate list Thursday, a total of 309 women
from the two major
parties have ﬁled candidacy papers to run for
the House. That tops the
previous record of 298 in
2012.

PHOENIX — President Donald Trump said
Thursday that he wants
to send between 2,000
and 4,000 National Guard
members to the U.S.Mexico border to help
federal ofﬁcials ﬁght illegal immigration and drug
trafﬁcking, but it wasn’t
clear who would be called
up or if they would even
be allowed to carry guns.
Trump’s comments to
reporters on Air Force
One were his ﬁrst estimate on guard levels he
believes are needed for
border protection. It is
lower than the 6,400
National Guard members
that former President
George Bush sent to the
border between 2006 and
2008.
Trump said his administration is looking into
the cost of sending the
troops to the border and
added “we’ll probably
keep them or a large portion of them until the wall
is built.”
Earlier Thursday,
Ronald Vitiello, the U.S.
Customs and Border
Protection’s acting deputy
commissioner, cautioned
against a rushed deployment.
“We are going to do it
as quickly as we can do it
safely,” Vitiello told Fox
News Channel.
He said that guard
members would be placed
in jobs that do not require
law enforcement work,
an apparent reference to
undertaking patrols and
making arrests.

Remembering days afterward

The days that followed Jesus’ rising
from the dead, gloriﬁed and victorious,
were undoubtedly overwhelming to His
closest friends and followers. How they
initially responded to it is
very telling in regard to
their humanity and, perhaps, to our own as well
– especially when we consider how we react when
we begin to truly grasp
A Hunger the miracle that God lavupon us the moment
for More ishes
we become His children
Pastor Thom through faith in His Son.
Mollohan
“On the ﬁrst day of the
week, at early dawn, they
went to the tomb, taking the spices
they had prepared. And they found the
stone rolled away from the tomb, but
when they went in they did not ﬁnd
the body of the Lord Jesus. While they
were perplexed about this, behold, two
men stood by them in dazzling apparel.
And as they were frightened and bowed
their faces to the ground, the men said
to them, ‘Why do you seek the living
among the dead? He is not here, but has
risen” (Luke 24:1-6 ESV).
The disciples’ response to Jesus’ not
being where common sense predicted
He would be was predictable in itself.
They were confused and then startled
by the presence of those supernatural
witnesses who God appointed to present them the news that the One Whom
they thought as being dead and buried,
was not a victim to tragic circumstance
and human hate, but the victorious
slayer of death itself.
Their difﬁculty was primarily rooted
in the limitations that all their experience had taught them. They were
well-schooled in seeing people rise up
to do and/or say the right thing being
silenced permanently as either the Jews
themselves would squelch what they
perceived to be religious opposition or
the Romans who were at best only ever
tolerating them and were always tooready to kill anyone who dared to stand
up to them in very public ways.
In a similar way, a newly-saved
Christian may initially have difﬁculty
in knowing how to live life from the
framework of God’s forgiveness and
Holy Spirit power because he is still
mentally entrenched in old ways of looking at things and old ways of dealing
with problems or coping with pain. But
as he becomes immersed in the reading, exploring, and discovering of the
promises of God and the principles of
His Kingdom, he begins to discover,
as those disciples of the ﬁrst century
church did, everything is changed and
he moves forward by shaking off the
chains of old assumptions, sins, fears
and habits.
As the reality of Jesus’ resurrection
became more “real” in the minds and
hearts of His followers, the qualities of
wonder, worship, joy and courage began
to take root and germinate in the hearts
of His followers that ignited the hearts
of multitudes beyond them.
In a similar way, as Jesus’ forgiveness
and lordship become more “real” in our
minds and hearts, we too discover those
qualities and we too may inﬂuence
those around us towards the Savior we
celebrate. Not because we are suddenly
so charismatic or convincing in rational
arguments, but because the presence of
God is real to us and, therefore, real to
others through us. We are genuinely and
beautifully different because we have
truly encountered Jesus Christ in our
hearts and experience through faith.
The question then for you and for me
is whether or not we have really met the
risen Lord. Have we personally encountered His holiness and forgiveness? Are
we engaged by how deserving
He is of our love and adoration? Are
we changed by the fact of His love? Are
we gripped by His glory? If not, then
let us turn our eyes to the Jesus of the
Bible. Let us drink deeply of His promises for us and of His soul-saving and
life-changing presence. Let us reconnect
with Him through the reading of His
Word, the fellowship of worship of Him
in the community of His people at a
local Bible-teaching church. Let us meet
with Him again and again in the quiet
place of genuine communion that prayer
grants us.
If you have never encountered this
wonderful Savior in a personal way,
then waste no more time. Connect with
someone who has and ask how you too
can be saved. There is too much at stake
to waste any more time. And Jesus
Himself is waiting to welcome you into
a personal relationship with Him that
turns your destiny from spiritual death
to eternal life.

In his second letter to
Timothy, Apostle Paul
wrote, “Remember that
Jesus Christ…was raised
from the dead…” The term
“remember” refers to an
“unassisted recalling.” Paul’s
exhortation to Timothy was
written years after the Resurrection Event. It suggests
an expected practice for the
people of God.
Even after all these years
following the Cruciﬁxion
and Resurrection of Jesus
Christ, we are expected
to keep it all in memory
through faith and in practice. How shall we maintain
an “unassisted recalling” of
what Christ did for us on
the Cross and through His
Resurrection when we were
certainly not physically
present during that actual
time?
It goes back to several
Christian basics that sometimes we forget about or
neglect. First, we proactively remember by way of
prayer, for, when we pray,
we should give thanks speciﬁcally to God for the way
Christ provided salvation
for us. We should verbally
recite awareness how the
Lord suffered, and that He
shed His blood so we could
receive forgiveness of sin.
We should express gratitude that the Lord did not

Bible reading contributes
to remembering days afterward the Resurrection. The
Bible has much to say about
the Resurrection for our
rejoicing and for our ediﬁcation. We can read about the
Resurrection appearances of
the Lord on the ﬁrst day to
the women, to Peter, to the
disciples on the Emmaus
Road, and to the disciples
in the upper room. There is
the account of appearing to
the apostles eight days later.
The risen Lord met with
believers in the region of
Galilee, on a certain mountain to 500 at a time, and to
several in Jerusalem.
Apostle Paul saw the
resurrected Lord on the
Damascus Road. Apostle
John saw the resurrected
Lord on the Isle of Patmos.
We can read about the
return of the resurrected
Lord particularly in Revelation 19. Reading the Bible
about the resurrection of
Jesus Christ keeps our hope
alive.
How well are you remembering the Lord’s Cruciﬁxion and Resurrection days

God is Light
We’re only scratching
the surface of God’s love
God is an endless
treasure chest—a bottomless abyss of love.
The Apostle Paul
writes, “And may you
have the
power to
understand, as
all God’s
people
should,
how wide,
Teen
how long,
Testimony how high,
Isaiah
and how
Pauley
deep his
love is.
May you experience the
love of Christ, though
it is too great to understand fully. Then you
will be made complete
with all the fullness
of life and power that
comes from God” (Eph.
3:18-19 NLT).
God is beyond the
comprehension of man.
No person is capable of
providing a deﬁnition or
description of God.
Paul writes, “For in
Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human
body” (Col. 2:9 NLT).
Additionally, “In him
[Christ] lie hidden all
the treasures of wisdom
and knowledge” (Col.
2:3 NLT).
Got one more?
Because Paul also says,
“For you died to this
life, and your real life is
hidden with Christ in
God” (Col. 3:3 NLT).
Now, let’s connect
these Scriptures. What
do you see? Our God is
so vast—so deep—that
treasures lie hidden
within Him. In fact, our
lives are hidden within
the incomprehensible
love of God.
In other words, we’re
only scratching the
surface when it comes
to the treasures of God.
And sometimes, that
makes us aggravated.
Now, it’s story time.
Easter egg hunts have
never been difﬁcult in
my family—that is, until
last Sunday. My two siblings and I spent nearly
thirty minutes searching for treasures. The
search was so difﬁcult—
so aggravating—that all

“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus
as your Lord, you must continue to follow
him. Let your roots grow down into him,
and let your lives be built on him. Then

thankfulness.”
— Col. 2:6-7,
(NLT)

giving up.
We ﬁnally found every
hidden treasure! But
here’s the best news:
I found the biggest
prize—a ten dollar bill!
That’s a funny example, I know. But think
about it.
Are you ever tempted
to give up on God? Do
you ever ﬁnd yourself
aggravated by God’s
timing? Are there times
when God doesn’t make
any sense to you? Is it
difﬁcult for you to comprehend the who, what,
when, where, why, and
how of God?
Well, you’re not the
only one, for God is
beyond the comprehension of man.
“‘My thoughts are
nothing like your
thoughts,’ says the
LORD. ‘And my ways
are far beyond anything
you could imagine. For
just as the heavens are
higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher
than your ways and my
thoughts higher than
your thoughts’” (Isa.
55:8-9 NLT).
You see, we’re only
scratching the surface
when it comes to the
treasures of God. So
many treasures remain
hidden in Christ. And
although we’re not made
to fully understand God,
we have the opportunity
to continue our search
of Him.
During the Easter holiday, Christianity takes
a front seat in the minds
of countless individuals. Church attendance
soars. “Jesus” is a common subject. And most
importantly, a boatload
of individuals decide to
accept Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior!
Make no mistake

about it, those things
are awesome! But real
life hits after the holiday
season. Church attendance usually falls back
down, and a large percentage of people who
accept Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior struggle to continue their
new life in Him.
This column is dedicated to those people.
I pray that people with
a fresh love for God
continue searching after
Him—even if He’s too
deep to understand fully.
It’s a prayer for them
to never give up the
search.
“But you must continue to believe this
truth and stand ﬁrmly
in it. Don’t drift away
from the assurance
you received when you
heard the Good News…
.” (Col. 1:23 NLT).
“And now, just as you
accepted Christ Jesus
as your Lord, you must
continue to follow him.
Let your roots grow
down into him, and let
your lives be built on
him. Then your faith
will grow strong in the
truth you were taught,
and you will overﬂow
with thankfulness” (Col.
2:6-7 NLT).
A relationship with
Jesus is eternal. Don’t
expect to understand
God, but please don’t
quit searching after
Him. Read your Bible.
Get involved in a Christcentered church. Develop relationships with
other Christians. Pray.
Worship. Just don’t give
up. We’re only scratching the surface.

How many of you know the song
“This Little Light of Mine?” We
sang it in both church and Sunday
School when I was growing up,
and I have still used it many times
even as an adult. Its
verses say that we (1)
should let out light

not to hide it under
a bushel basket, and
(3) never let Satan
God’s Kids blow it out. The Bible
tells us in 1 John 1:5,
Korner “We heard the true
Pastor Ann teaching from God.
Moody
Now we tell it to you:
God is light, and in
Him there is no darkness.” Then in
John 8:12, we read, “I am the light
of the world. Whoever follows
Me will never walk in darkness,
but will have the light that gives
life.” And in 1 Thessalonians 5:5,
it says, “You are all children of the
light and children of the day. We
do not belong to the night or to
the darkness.” Those are all good
verses, speaking about God, Jesus,
and us being light, but what does
that mean exactly to be “light and
walk in the light?”
The Bible talks about God and
light several places in both the Old
and New Testament, and notice
the Bible doesn’t say God is a light,
but that God IS LIGHT. Light
and darkness are opposites. In the
Bible, they are opposites too. Light
represents goodness or righteousness, so the opposite of that would
be darkness, representing evil or
sin. We know that God and Jesus
are sinless; they are all that is good
and right. In them, there is no evil
or sin. Likewise, we should try to
be like them too – sinless, doing
good things. Those who know God
and Jesus are the light and walk in
the light just like them.
If we think about it, to walk is to
make progress, so as we walk with
God and Jesus, we will become
more like them. We will mature
and grow in our faith. As we do
that, we are to be good examples
of Christianity and tell others
about God and Jesus. That’s how
we let our light “shine!” God created the light in the ﬁrst place
during creation, so may we be
“shiners” of His light to others
as we walk with Him every day!
Remember, it’s hard to ﬁnd your
way in the dark. We need light to
see our way.
Let’s ask God to help us shine.
Dear Father God, thank You for
giving us the light of creation
and Jesus. Please help us to be
good children, grow in our faith,
and shine Your light for all to see
through us. In Jesus’ name we
pray, Amen.

Lawsuit
From page 1

not limited to grabbing
plaintiff’s underwear
and pulling it up to
give her ‘wedgies,’
making her sit on his
lap and then rubbing
her legs, making inappropriate statements
to her like ‘why do you
always wear spandex
under your pants’ and
committing a felony
crime of gross sexual
imposition against
her by having nonconsensual sexual contact with her by force
or threat of force,”
according to the civil
complaint.
In the nine months
the plaintiff was
employed by Holter,
she alleges to have
witnessed frequent
and pervasive sexual
harassment of female
co-workers who were
also under the age of
18. Those alleged acts
include “hosing down
other female employees,
spanking them on their
behinds, making various sexual comments

Food pantry
receives donation

to them, hugging them
from behind, making
lewd facial gestures and
raising his eyebrows
while looking at them,
and making inappropriate comments of a sexual nature about what
they were wearing.”
Many of the details
alleged in the civil
complaint were similar
to the details given by
Canepa during the plea
hearing in March.
Under each claim, the
plaintiff is asking for
compensatory damages
in an amount exceeding $25,000, punitive
damages in an amount
exceeding $25,000 and
a judgement against
all defendants in an
amount exceeding
$25,000, as well as any
other relief deemed fair,
just and equitable.
Holter is scheduled to
be sentenced in Meigs
County Common Pleas
Court on April 25.

POMEROY — Through
the efforts of the Methodist men’s group of the
North United Methodist
Church of Ravenswood,
West Virginia, the Parish Food Pantry received
1,000 pounds of potatoes
to be given out to the
needy.
This group has for
the past several years
furnished potatoes to the
pantry through a member of their group, Don
Johnson of Portland..

the cost of $41,365.50
which Altier explained
is to be submitted to
the Ohio Emergency
Management Agency
with an 80 percent
reimbursement to the
village following the
grant agreement from
November. The Ohio
Emergency Management Agency gave a
grant of $143,500, a
partial grant, requiring
the village to cover the
remaining cost. The
total cost of the project

is estimated around
$190,000.
Altier reported the
estimated time of
completion of the storm
water project would
be the end of April
or the middle of May.
Witherell conﬁrmed
the project is still on
track, regardless of the
culvert issues on Fisher.
He said once the water
recedes, any additional
damages to the culvert
on Fisher Street can
then be assessed to see
if the project’s cost will
raise.

11-1 count in six innings on
Wednesday in Meigs County.

Meigs had a runner throw
out between third and home,
leaving the score at 2-0.
After being retired in
order in each of the ﬁrst two
innings, River Valley (0-2,

top of the third when Blaine
Cline drew a base on balls
and eventually scored on a
wild pitch, bringing the Raiders within one.
The Maroon and Gold batted around in the bottom of

four runs on ﬁve hits and two

walks to increase the lead to
6-1.
The Raiders stranded two

Buffalo softball
team fends off
Lady Falcons, 9-5
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

BUFFALO, W.Va. — Just not enough offense to
go around.
The Wahama softball team was held to just three
hits on Wednesday evening in Putnam County, as
the Lady Falcons dropped a 9-5 decision to nonconference host Buffalo.
Wahama (4-2) stranded a runner in scoring position in the opening inning, but it was Buffalo that
broke the scoreless tie in the bottom half of the
frame, scoring three runs on two hits, one walk
and one error.
WHS also stranded a runner on second base in
the second inning, and the Lady Bison increased
their lead to 4-0 when Olivia Arthur drove in
Kaela Cobb in the home half of the frame.
The Lady Falcons’ ﬁrst run of the game came in
the top of the third inning, when sophomore Hannah Rose hit a solo home run with one out.
However, Buffalo stretched its lead to 8-1 in the
bottom of the third, combining three extra-base
hits with a pair of walks. The BHS lead grew to a
game-high eight runs in the bottom of the fourth,
as Maggie Bird drove in Brooklyn Persinger.
The Lady Falcons took advantage of three errors
and a pair of hit batters in the top of the ﬁfth
frame, as Grace Haddox, Emma Gibbs and Emily
VanMatre each scored.
Wahama was retired in order in the bottom of
the sixth, but kept its deﬁcit at 9-4 headed into the
ﬁnale. Emily VanMatre doubled home Rose with

Xavier men’s basketball head coach Travis Steele sits for a television interview after a news conference at the Cintas Center on
Wednesday in Cincinnati. Xavier stuck to custom and promoted from within to replace coach Chris Mack when it hired top assistant
Steele on Saturday as its 18th head coach. The move came four days after Mack — a former Musketeer player who is the winningest
coach in school history — left to coach Louisville. The 36-year-old Steele has been an assistant at Xavier for 10 seasons, including the
last nine under Mack.

Steele knows Xavier’s next goal
CINCINNATI (AP)
— Travis Steele knows
the clear expectation as
Xavier’s next basketball
coach.
“It’s the elephant that’s
in the room: Go where
Xavier has never gone in
the NCAA Tournament,”
Steele said.
The Musketeers have
never reached a Final
Four. They had their
best chance this season,
when they were ranked
No. 3 in the AP Top
25 — a school record —
and won their ﬁrst Big
East regular-season title.
They got a No. 1 seed in
the NCAA Tournament
for the ﬁrst time, only to
lose in the second round
to Florida State.
Coach Chris Mack
headed to Louisville a
few days later. Steele —
who was the top assistant under Mack — was
hired over the weekend
as the school’s 18th head
coach, given a higher
bar than any of the others.
“There is one ﬁnal
hurdle,” athletics director Greg Christopher
said Wednesday while
introducing Steele as
head coach. “We’ve
never been to a Final
Four, never won a
national championship.”
Xavier decided its
best chance was to stick
with a formula that has
brought the basketball
program this far. The

“There is one final hurdle. We’ve never
been to a Final Four, never won a national
championship.”
— Greg Christopher,
Athletics Director

Musketeers were inundated with interest from
candidates at other
schools. They chose to
stay in-house, providing
continuity to a program
that become nationally
prominent.
Xavier has become
adept at grooming its
next head coach on the
staff and then letting
them take the school
another step higher —
a process that school
president the Rev.
Michael Graham called
a “signature element” to
the program. Xavier has
grown from a mid-major
program in the 1980s
through a succession
of coaches: Pete Gillen, Skip Prosser, Thad
Matta, Sean Miller and
Mack.
It was no surprise that
Steele — who was hired
by Miller and has been
Mack’s assistant for the
last nine seasons — was
considered the best
choice.
“This is not something
we do very often here at
Xavier,” Graham said,
referring to coaching
changes. “But when we
do it, we do it really,
really well.”

Steele essentially
clinched the job during
his formal interview on
Friday when he spoke in
detail about his plans for
getting Xavier to a place
where it is considered a
Final Four program. The
Musketeers reached the
Elite Eight for the third
time in 2016-17.
“Every coach has
made Xavier a better place than it was
before,” Steele said.
“That’s a huge responsibility on my shoulders.”
Unlike Mack, who
grew up in Cincinnati
and played for the Musketeers, Steele didn’t
have any direct ties to
the school until Miller
hired him in 2008 as
director of basketball
operations. His brother,
John Groce, also is a
former Xavier assistant
coach and currently the
head coach at Akron.
As Mack’s top assistant, Steele was involved
in recruiting and designing the offense that
was one of the best in
the country. Steele said
Wednesday there won’t
be many schematic
changes in how the Musketeers play, but he’ll

emphasize defense as he
puts together next season’s team.
The Musketeers lose
four seniors — Trevon
Bluiett, J.P. Macura,
Sean O’Mara and Kerem
Kanter — and look to be
more of a guard-driven
team at the outset next
season. Their defense
had lapses last season
that allowed other teams
to put together big runs.
Xavier let a 12-point
lead slip away in the
second half of its loss to
Florida State.
Steele said he’s already
heard from Xavier fans
about it.
“They think our
defense needs to
improve,” he said, grinning.
Several returning
players met with the
athletics director during
the coaching search and
lobbied for Steele to get
the job.
“We got coach Steele,
and that’s what we wanted,” point guard Quentin
Goodin said. “I want to
play for a coach I’m comfortable with. He’s really
energetic. He’s got a lot
of leadership. He’s one
of those coaches who
knows what he’s talking
about. He’ll be straight
with you.
“Him being here and
helping us grown as
players and people —
that’s what I feel made
him the best choice.”

Browning, Williams set
school records at Otterbein

Point burns Red Devils, 12-8
By Scott Jones

WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Katie Browning and
Lucy Williams set new school records and Amirah Strauther had a ﬁrst-place ﬁnish to lead the
University of Rio Grande women’s track and ﬁeld
team at Friday’s April Fools Invitational hosted by
Otterbein University.
Browning, a senior from Athens, Ohio, hit the
“A” qualifying standard for the NAIA national
championship meet later in the spring with a
school-record effort of 12’-3.5” in the pole vault.
Her mark, which was good enough for a ﬁfth-place
ﬁnish, also currently ranks second in the event

NBA tips off NBA 2K League with draft
NEW YORK (AP) —
Dimez slipped on his
draft hat, shook hands
with NBA Commissioner
Adam Silver, and began
life as the No. 1 pick in
the draft.
The video game draft.
Dimez is Artreyo
Boyd’s gamer tag and no
he doesn’t run or jump
like LeBron James or
shoot like Stephen Curry.
But he is a star at NBA
2K, and on Wednesday
he was the ﬁrst player
chosen in the draft for the
NBA 2K League, the ﬁrst
ofﬁcial esports league
operated by a U.S. professional sports league.
The NBA is serious
about its latest venture,
having seen how esports
has grown from a hobby
among youth to an activity that sells out arenas,
one that ﬁnancial analysts
say could grow into a billion dollar industry in the
next few years.
So the NBA 2K League
joined the WNBA and
NBA G League as the
fourth league in the NBA
family.
“We view this in the
same way as those other
leagues as something that
we’re going to develop
over a very long time, and
we’re building this as a
league that’s going to be
around forever,” Silver
said.
The league will pay
gamers $35,000 for six
months, with housing and
beneﬁts paid. That’s comparable salary to a new
player in the WNBA or G
League.
Dimez, a 23-year-old
from Cleveland, emerged
from a ﬁeld of 72,000
players to get the call
from Mavericks owner
Mark Cuban that he was
the choice of Mavs Gaming, one of 17 teams in
the league .
The inaugural season
opens in May, and Silver
hopes all 30 NBA teams
could have entries in
three years. He even
talked of having overseas teams, ﬁguring the
popularity of NBA 2K,
the highest-selling and
top-rated game in North

Frank Franklin II | AP

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, left, poses for photographs with
the No. 1 overall pick, Artreyo Boyd, at the NBA 2K League draft
Wednesday in New York. Launching in 2018, the league will feature
the best NBA 2K players in the world and will draft players to
compete as unique characters in 5-on-5 play against the other
teams in a mix of regular-season games, tournaments and playoffs.

America, with nearly 10
million copies of NBA
2K18 already sold this
year, combined with the
NBA’s ability to make
stars of its players — athletes, as Silver stressed
— should ensure the
league is successful.
Dimez sits in a chair
playing video games
almost all day long, the
kind of activity that gets
kids yelled at by their
parents.
He plays the game well
— his gamer tag comes
from his point guard’s
ﬂair in dishing out
assists, known in basketball as dimes — and the
Dallas Mavericks organization took him with the
ﬁrst choice in the draft at
Madison Square Garden.
“Everybody always asks
me how much I play,”
Dimez said. “I don’t really
have a speciﬁc time but
I play every day, all day.
Almost literally 24 hours,
maybe 16 hours. I play
every day as much as possible, and that’s not going
to stop now.”
To be eligible for the
league, players had to win
50 games in January. The

NBA expected that would
yield around 10,000 candidates and instead there
were 72,000. The gamers
then went through a combine-style format of competition and interviews
to eventually reduce the
pool to 102 players for
Wednesday’s draft, which
consisted of six rounds.
Teams had to draft
each of the ﬁve positions
— point guard, shooting
guard, center, power forward and small forward
— and one player of their
choice for what will be
5-on-5 games.
It was set up like the
actual NBA draft, starting
with a lottery last month,
a full evaluation process
by teams, and a media
circuit the players had to
walk through after exiting
the stage. The Philadelphia 76ers, who know
something about the draft
process after owning the
last two No. 1 picks, had
a war room set up in their
Camden, New Jersey
headquarters, where they
had been watching tape
of players and applying
the use of analytics to
weigh them.
