Carson Crow. Richard Barnhart Jr., 32, was convicted of aggravated vehicular homicide and four other felony charges in relation to the crash and the death Jesse Carr during a jury trial in late January. Nearly a month after the trial Barnhart’s then attorney Charles Knight filed a motion for a new trial based on a newly discovered witness. Barnhart’s newly hired attorney K. Robert Toy argued that motion at a hearing earlier in April, calling Warren Chase Payne to the stand as the new witness for the defense. Payne, according to the motion for a new trial, had seen Carr and Barnhart just before the crash and could place Carr in the driver seat rather than Barnhart. On the witness stand, Payne was not certain as to the time he saw the two on the night of the crash, only that it was dark, and had a small amount of doubt as to the day of the meeting. In making the ruling, Judge I. Carson Crow stated in an entry, “Mr. Payne, the newly found witness, testified to so many inconsistencies that his testimony is deemed by the Court to be irrelevant, immaterial and other deficient. Mr. Payne admitted that some of the statements in his sworn, deficient affidavit were false. Mr. Payne stated that though already notarized before his signature was taken that said affidavit was to be changed. Per testimony, said affidavit was not changed. Mr. Payne did not know what time he allegedly saw the Defendant. Additionally, Warren Chase Payne was not for sure that he saw the Defendant. Additionally, Warren Chase Payne was not for sure that he saw the Defendant on the date of the crash.” “The Defendant has failed to provide any credible, newly discovered evidence from a credible witness. Therefore, the Defendant has failed to meet his burden because the Defendant cannot establish that the alleged newly discovered evidence discloses a strong probability or even a minuscule prob- ability that it will or would change the result if a new trial is granted. As the Defendant has failed to meet his burden, this Court cannot and will not grant the Defendant a new trial,” Crow’s entry continues. While the motion for a new trial was denied, an appeals case has already been started with the 4th District Court of Appeals in the case. Barnhart is currently housed in the North Central Correctional Institution. Hitting the century mark English attends KeyBank business conference for women Staff Report ATHENS — Middleport resident and Ohio University sophomore Haiden N. English recently attended the KeyBank Conference for Women in Corporate and Investment Banking, held in Cleveland, Ohio. English, a Finance and Entrepreneurship major at Ohio University’s College of Business, was selected as one of only 19 college and university women from across the nation to attend the conference at KeyBank English headquarters April 8 through 10. Besides Ohio University, institutions represented included the University of Texas at Austin, the Ohio State University, the University of Cincinnati, Oregon State University, the University of Pennsylvania, Washington University, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, Claremont McKenna College, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of North Carolina, the University of Chicago, and Syracuse University. Conference attendees participated in career opportunity, leadership, and networking panels, and were separated into teams to research, organize and present a stock pitch as part of an endof-conference competition. English’s team won the competition and each member was awarded a $1,000 scholarship. Of the conference, English said, “it was a wonderful professional learning experience and inspiring for young women like myself. Being selected to participate in such a prestigious conference then winning the competition phase was an amazing feeling, and I’m proud I was able to represent my college and hometown at the Cleveland conference.” English is a 2016 Meigs High School honors graduate.

High winds over the weekend pushed the lake’s waters into homes and sent waves crashing onto roadways. In Ohio, flooding deposited logs and other debris at a city park in Toledo. Crews in Port Clinton spent Monday cleaning up debris left behind on lakeside streets. The mayor of nearby Marblehead says waves damaged a road and washed away a bike bath. Ohio’s South Bass Island was cut in half Sunday by floodwaters that covered a road connecting the two sides of the island. In southeastern Michigan, the city of Luna Pier has put out large garbage bins to help property owners with the cleanup. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A man accused of providing the gun used to kill two central Ohio police officers must remain in jail without bond. Federal prosecutors say 30-year-old Gerald Lawson, of suburban Cleveland, bought the handgun that 31-year-old Quentin Smith used in the February slayings of Westerville officers Eric Joering and Anthony Morelli. A criminal complaint says Smith gave Lawson the money to buy the gun last summer along with $100 for completing the transaction. Smith wasn’t allowed to have weapons because of a previous burglary conviction. U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus on Monday ordered that Lawson remain in jail. Lawson has pleaded not guilty. His attorney said Tuesday there’s nothing in Lawson’s history to suggest he’s a danger to the community. Smith could face the death penalty if convicted of the slayings. Online charter school heads back to court in funding case COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio online charter school that was one of the nation’s largest before it suspended operations amid a legal fight with the state is filing another appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court. The Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow is looking to overturn a State Board of Education order that the school repay $60 million in state funding in a dispute over the number of enrolled students. The Columbus Dispatch reports the appeal filed Friday argues the state board violated the Open Meetings Act while making its decision. ECOT suspended operations in January after state investigators concluded the school had about 60 percent fewer full-time students than the 15,322 it had previously claimed. ECOT officials are arguing in a separate case that the education department illegally changed its rules for counting students. ___ Information from: The Columbus Dispatch, http:// www.dispatch.com Maestro eral continents and time periods.

Attorneys for 19-year-old Brooke Skylar Richardson filed a motion Monday in Warren County after a judge postponed her murder trial while a state appeals court rules on a dispute over medical testimony. The motion says Richardson hasn’t committed any infractions since being placed on house arrest last summer. Prosecutors replied Tuesday that they adamantly oppose lifting restrictions, citing the interests of ensuring her appearance and for “public safety.” Richardson is accused of burying her full-term baby last July shortly after giving birth in Carlisle, a village 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Cincinnati. Defense attorneys argue the baby was stillborn. schedules and timing do not allow them to attend concerts.

Minnesota Speaker Kurt Daudt, Wisconsin Speaker Robin Vos, Michigan Speaker Tom Leonard and North Dakota House Majority Leader Al Carlson were at the four-day event with Republican Ohio Speaker Cliff Rosenberger last August, The Associated Press confirmed. The event was sponsored and paid for by the GOPAC Education Fund’s Institute for Leadership Development. GOPAC works to elect Republicans to higher office. The politicians emphasized the money for the trip did not come from taxpayers, said they were not lobbied during the event and said they had complied with ethics laws in their states. The powerful Rosenberger, who quit last week, had been criticized for his lavish lifestyle, including traveling around the world and staying in a luxury downtown Columbus condo owned by a wealthy Republican donor. He has said he believes his actions as speaker were “ethical and lawful.” Ohio’s ethics laws, like those in most states, prohibit legislators from accepting valuable gifts but allow them to accept travel expenses to conferences related to official business if they aren’t exchanged for legislative favors. Rosenberger, who made about $101,000 a year as a lawmaker, was allowed to pay for work-related trips through his own campaign fund, through House Republicans’ political fund or through a stipend from an outside group such as GOPAC. GOPAC, like many other groups that seek to inform state legislators, takes contributions from corporations to help fund its budget. An Ohio lobbyist who attended the London trip told the AP that corporations pay membership fees to the group that make them privy to invitations to events at which lawmakers will be present. Among corporations attending the London event were Altria, Comcast, Walmart and Select Management, operator of the title lending business LoanMax, which has lobbying interests in Ohio, Wisconsin and several other states. GOPAC Executive Director Jessica Curtis confirmed that Rosenberger and an Ohio state representative were among event guests. An Ohio-based lobbyist for LoanMax, Steve Dimon, also was on the trip. Title and payday lenders have been lobbying against proposed legislation that would place restrictions on their industry. Dimon said he saw Rosenberger on the trip but declined to comment on whether they discussed any legislation or whether he has since been questioned by the FBI. The FBI has said it will neither confirm nor deny there’s an investigation into Rosenberger. Carlson said he attended the trip with money from GOPAC and from his own pocket and he was unaware at the time of Rosenberger’s resignation announcement of any investigation. “It was paid for by GOPAC. It wasn’t taxpayer money,” Carlson said. “It was my time and my dime.” Vos and Rosenberger, friends who had appeared together at events, showed up together in photos from the London trip, along with lobbyists from their states. cian will be available in regularly scheduled Ohio Valley Publishing newspapers April 29, among many other featured personalities throughout Mason, Meigs and Gallia Counties as part of Ohio Valley Publishing’s Pride and Progress annual special edition. This year’s theme is “Made in the Ohio Valley.” OH-70043103 Daily Sentinel �Opinion 4 Wednesday, April 18, 2018 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Facebook likes us. It really likes us There’s a quality of urban life that people either love or hate: Everywhere you look in a city is a terminal point of human desire. If you’re in a city right now, look around. Church. Manicure Virginia Heffernan joint. Strip club. Condos. The Contributing population’s collective demands for religion, sex, shelter and (above columnist all) #nailart are inscribed in the cityscape. Contrast this with an untamed natural landscape where human desires aren’t answered at all. Want a bed or simple hydration? The forest and desert don’t care. Facebook is a hypertropolis that can make even the most committed urbanite long for the countryside. It’s engineered to stoke and satisfy desires. Initially, users turn to Facebook for clients, romance and popularity. Eventually we’re trained to crave and demand everything from overpriced socks to political propaganda. That’s when we start shelling out resources, in dollars and in the more precious coin of our attention and data. But where a city fulfills the wants and needs of its entire population, Facebook is perpetually reading individual users. It both installs our buttons and pushes the hell out of them. It speaks to us in our own voice, cobbled together from what it interprets to be our longings and desires. Facebook then coarsens that voice, and amplifies it. The data-and-targeting algorithm acts like Iago, amping up our basest emotions while pretending to be merely concerned for our welfare. Mention the word “cheating” in Messenger, for example, and Facebook’s Iago jumps to conclusions, showing you ads for private-eye services. (Not that I know this firsthand.) It was this icky part of Facebook’s UX that seemed most to bother the members of Congress who interrogated Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg last week. Ostensibly the hearings were to determine whether government ought to regulate Facebook, which enjoys unprecedented power over 2 billion users. But the hearings often seemed more like a 10-hour encounter group for boomers and senior citizens terrified of digitization. Understandably, the gang on Capitol Hill was deeply concerned about the targeting of users with bespoke come-ons. Targeted ads are one of the few ways ordinary people see visible evidence of Facebook’s arcane data operation, and concern about ads is a proxy for the broader worry about data-gathering. It was interesting to hear senators and congresspeople voice their anxiety and to hear Zuckerberg express contempt for it. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida (b. 1942) asked an especially sweet, pained question: “I’m communicating with my friends on Facebook and indicate that I love a certain kind of chocolate. And all of a sudden I start receiving advertisements for chocolate. What if I don’t want to receive those commercial advertisements?” “If you want to have an experience where your ads aren’t targeted using all the information that we have available,” Zuckerberg replied, “you can turn off third-party information.” The implication was that Nelson’s squeamishness was not just odd, but self-defeating. Why wouldn’t he want targeted ads using all the dirt on him in Facebook’s arsenal? Zuckerberg’s answer implied one of Facebook’s more far-fetched talking points. According to the company line, data-harvesting and user-targeting are not done in the name of surveillance or even profits. Rather, they’re done for the same reason Facebook does all else: Because it cares about us. Hmm. Unlikely. When Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska (b. 1951) pressed Zuckerberg on data storage, he said even more clearly than he had to Nelson that Facebook does it for our own good. “We store data about what people share on the service and information that’s required to do ranking better, to show you what you care about in news feed.” See FACEBOOK | 5 THEIR VIEW Girls play baseball, too! Did you watch the 1992 movie, A League of Their Own? Many viewers, including me, learned about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) for the first time. The movie is loosely based on the AAGPBL and female players. Capable, dedicated, and energetic women played baseball—talented athletes full of vim and vigor! And one player, in particular, stood out. And she was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. Kammie on First, a biography for young readers, is about baseball’s Dorothy “Dottie” Kamenshek. Kammie is the nickname given to her by the league.

THEIR VIEW Animals deserve protection from abuse In February, William Dolsen of Manistee County, Mich., was convicted of Christopher animal cruDale elty after Contributing authoricolumnist ties found nearly 100 severely malnourished animals on his property, some of whom had died. His sentence? A mere 30 days in jail and a year’s probation. According to a press account, deputies found “dozens of animals, including cows, pigs, goats, ponies, ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys, without food, water and bedding.” That same day, in Florida, Sarah Wells faced a judge after neglecting and starving a pit bull to death. She received a sentence of just 120 days. In a penal system that often doles out harsh sentences for minor, nonviolent infractions, animal abuse is one instance where the punishment seldom suits the severity of the crime. State by state, laws against animal cruelty are inconsistent and often lax. In Alabama, for example, it’s actually legal to shoot a dog or cat for urinating or defecating on your property. In my home state of New Jersey, people who “needlessly kill” or “inflict unnecessary cruelty upon a living animal or creature” face a maximum of $1,000 fine and six months in jail. Even in states where tougher laws exist, there is often a lack of willingness to enforce them. For instance, in Michigan, where Dolen got off lightly, felony animal cruelty charges can result in up to four years in prison. But Dolsen cut a deal in which he pled no contest to misdemeanor animal cruelty in exchange for more serious felony charges being dropped. Fortunately, some states have prosecuted animal abusers to a fuller extent. In Massachusetts, Radoslaw Czerkawski was sentenced to eight to 10 years in a multi-count case in which a dog found with broken bones and stab wounds ultimately perished. The severity of the abuse drew a public outcry, prompting prosecutors to seek up to 15 years. Other states are toughening——and smartening——their laws. Last year, Pennsylvania increased penalties for animal abuse to up to See PROTECTION | 5 YOUR VIEW Showing and returning respect during tragedy Dear Editor, On behalf of the Shane Filkins family, I would like to express our awe and gratitude for the outpouring of support and expressions of respect and sympathy over this past week. We buried Shane this past cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. Those attending his visitation and funeral were too many to number and it is impossible to remember each and every one of you, but thank you all. I can’t mention each and every one who deserves some recognition at this time, but there are just a few that I would like to highlight. First, Scott Justus at Crow-Hussell funeral home. Your tender care of Shane and attention to each of the family’s needs made this time bearable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Second, Shane’s brotherhood of his fellow linemen — you came from all over and it is because of your support and respect, we were able to get through this. Third, AEP – the bucket truck arch and flag made an impression on us that we will never forget. Thank you as well. Finally, those special friends of Shane’s mother Kathy and his life partner Morgan – a special thanks for being there when we needed you. We have no way of knowing all that you did, but without you, we couldn’t have made it. Now, we continue to request respect for our privacy as we continue through our grieving process. We feel your prayers and they give us strength. Keith Smith Ashland, Ky.

Today’s Highlight in History On April 18, 1938, Superman, AKA “The Man of Steel,” made his debut as the first issue of Action Comics (bearing a cover date of June) went on sale for 10 cents a copy. (In 2014, a nearly flawless original copy was sold on eBay for $3.2 million.)

Joseph E. Johnston surrendered to Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman near Durham Station in North Carolina. In 1906, a devastating earthquake struck San Francisco, followed by raging fires; estimates of the final death toll range between 3,000 and 6,000. Facebook From page 4 “What you care about” was an insidious Zuckerberg euphemism for targeted ads and propaganda. Another was “relevant content.” He was proposing that human beings want to be confronted with nothing but things they’re presumed to desire. As he flatly asserted, “The overwhelming feedback that we get from our community is In 1923, the first game was played at the original Yankee Stadium in New York; the Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-1. In 1942, during World War II, an air squadron from the USS Hornet led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle raided Tokyo and other Japanese cities. The first World War II edition of The Stars and Stripes was published as a weekly newspaper. In 1943, Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commanderin-chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was shot down and killed by U.S. fighters while approaching Bougainville in the Solomon Islands. In 1956, American actress Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier (ren-YAY’) of Monaco in a civil ceremony. (A church wedding took place the next day.) In 1966, “The Sound of Music” won the Oscar for best picture of 1965 at the 38th Academy Awards. The first Major League baseball game played on AstroTurf took place at the Hous- ton Astrodome as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Astros 6-3. Bill Russell was named player-coach of the Boston Celtics, becoming the NBA’s first black coach. In 1978, the Senate approved the Panama Canal Treaty, providing for the complete turnover of control of the waterway to Panama on the last day of 1999. In 1983, 63 people, including 17 Americans, were killed at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, by a suicide bomber. In 1988, an Israeli court convicted John Demjanjuk (dem-YAHN’yuk), a retired auto worker from Cleveland, of committing war crimes at the Treblinka death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. (However, Israel’s Supreme Court later overturned Demjanjuk’s conviction.) In 1998, despite fierce internal dissent, Northern Ireland’s main Protestant party, the Ulster Unionists, approved a peace agreement. The remains of Pol Pot were cremated, three days after the Khmer Rouge leader blamed for the killings of up to two million Cambodians died at age 73. Former North Carolina governor and U.S. senator Terry Sanford died in Durham at age 80.

And if those who fail to opt out of the datagathering are considered to be overwhelmingly in favor of it, that’s a hopeless indicator. Opting out is, of course, made as tricky as possible. But that’s not the point. Zuckerberg and Facebook believe we are not only desperate to “connect” but desperate to be understood — if only by an algorithm that sees us as a nothing but a ball of needs and wants ripe for exploitation. Then it mirrors and refracts that image back at us until we come to believe it, and — worse — until we yield to the exploitation as evidence that Facebook cares about us. It’s devilish logic. No wonder the reflex of many in Congress was a kind of disbelief and dysphoria. And every time Zuckerberg insisted that data-gathering and targeting are for the ben- efit of the people, they looked more defeated. Nelson is from Florida. Fisch is from Nebraska. Come the next recess, I hope they go home for a bit. Maybe visit the Everglades or the Wildcat Hills. In swamps and rugged terrain, it takes some doing even to meet baseline desires for comfort. But when no one’s telling you to want — well, the traditional American word for that is freedom. TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM THOUGHT FOR TODAY “I’ll tell you a secret.

(AP) — Dozens of people were arrested Tuesday in a major drug trafficking sweep in Huntington, West Virginia, a city hit hard by the opioid epidemic. U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart said more than 200 federal, state and local law enforcement officers targeted nearly 100 people for arrests aimed at dismantling a multi-state distribution network. He said 30 arrests were made as of midday Tuesday in the state’s secondlargest city. “Today’s effort is not targeting addicts or corner dealers but trafficking organizations that have made Huntington an unfortunate target of their profits,” Stuart said. Large amounts of suspected fentanyl, heroin and cocaine were seized from the operation before the sweep, including enough fentanyl to kill 250,000 people. Among those arrested were the ringleaders, one in Huntington and two in Detroit, of a group that had been operating in Huntington for nearly 15 years. Thirty people in the drug organization were indicted in state and federal court in southern West Virginia, and more arrest and search warrants were anticipated in Detroit, he said.

And apparently, others have noticed too. Baker will be continuing her cross country and track careers at the collegiate level after signing a letter of intent with Cleveland State University on Wednesday, April 11, on the RVHS stage. Baker — who is part of three school records in track and another in swimming — is a two-time All-TVC and two-time regional qualifier in cross country, as well as qualifying for regionals in the 3200m run as a sophomore. Baker has regularly trained with the boys distance runners over the years because she has — for the most part — not been challenged as much by her female counterparts in practice. That competitive spirit is something that has always defined Baker, having lettered in 10 varsity sports over her four years with the Lady Raiders. But, with an opportunity to compete at the Division I level, Baker is not only thrilled about the rare opportunity … but also the chance to be amongst teammates that she’ll have more in common with. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity of competing against quality competition See BAKER | 7 Busch passes Larson to win rain-delayed race at Bristol BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Kyle Busch was all smiles and Kyle Larson was all scowls. Busch passed Larson with five laps remaining at Bristol Motor Speedway on Monday to win his second straight Cup Series race, culminating a rain-delayed weekend when temperatures dipped into the high 30s. Busch celebrated by thrusting his arms in the air and with a traditional bow to the crowd on top of his No. 18 Toyota while the snow began falling — a fitting end to a long weather-stalled weekend. Busch said after the race that he didn’t have the best car, but “we had the best car right at the end.” The loss left Larson, who led a race-high 200 laps, extremely frustrated. “I feel like every time I race here I almost get a win,” Larson said of his second-place finish. “I’ve been beat by Kyle (Busch) about every time I race here, too, so that gets frustrating after a while.” It was Busch’s 45th career Cup Series win, moving him ahead of Bill Elliott into sole possession of 16th place. It also was his seventh win at Bristol, while Larson has yet to win at the half-mile track. Coincidentally, Busch won with the aid of longtime nemesis Brad Keselowski, who wrecked with 30 laps left, bringing out the caution flag. Larson appeared to have the car to beat on Monday, running well ahead of the pack on long green flag runs. But after Busch took on tires during the yellow flag stop, he knew he was back in the race with 22 laps to go. He finally caught Larson with five laps left, bumped him out of the way and scooted by. Larson made a late charge but couldn’t catch him. “When it comes down to crunch time you gotta go,” Busch said. Asked if Keselowski had moved up on his list of favorites, Busch laughed and said, “That’s pushing it too far.” “I kind felt bad for him, maybe that much,” Busch said, pinching his thumb and index finger close together. “But it certainly helped our cause. So it was much appreciated, let’s go with that.” Larson was leading when the race was postponed Sunday with 296 laps remaining after being delayed several times because of rain. The race also was delayed Monday for about 35 minutes, but the cars finally got back on the track after the rain and sleet subsided.

Abbott to continue running at Marshall By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — He has a good understanding of his chosen future. Senior Nathaniel Abbott has spent four years at River Valley High School building himself into a top-notch distance runner, but that success didn’t come overnight. Abbott — a four-year starter for the cross country and distance events in track — has had to work his way to the top with a lot of effort and a lot of preparation, particularly during his freshman and sophomore seasons. However, after building a solid foundation over his first two years at the varsity level, Abbott’s distance career has since taken a turn of historic proportions as he currently owns the school record in both cross country and in the 1600m event in track. Abbott has also enjoyed a great deal of regular season and postseason successes, having been a three-time regional qualifier and three-time AllTVC performer in cross country — as well as a regional qualifier in the 1600m run last spring. It’s those kind of accolades that allowed a big door to open up for Abbott as the senior will be continuing his track and cross country careers at the collegiate level after signing a letter of intent with Marshall University on Wednesday, April 11, on the RVHS stage. To his credit, Abbott acknowledges that an opportunity to compete at the collegiate level is something truly special. He also is still somewhat in shock that he is has a chance to compete at the Division I level, something he had never really thought possible — until heading into his senior year. Abbott — who plans on majoring in Engineering — also knows that in being given this rare chance, he really needs to put something together that will stand the test of four years of rigorous effort. “When I learned that I might have an opportunity to compete for Marshall last summer, it really pushed me that much more to better myself as a competitor. I’ve always worked to get better over my career, but knowing that Marshall was showing interest really helped pushed me to get where I am,” Abbott said. “There aren’t many people that get a Division I opportunity from the Appalachia area, so it’s an honor and a blessing to get a chance like this. It’s taken a lot of hard work to get here and there’s a lot more hard work ahead, but I’m really looking forward to spending the next four years competing for the Thundering Herd.” RVHS cross country coach Darin Smith is excited to see an opportunity like this show up for Abbott, given the amount of work that he has put in to make himself and the Raiders better on a yearto-year basis. Smith also believes that, like him, Marshall is about to reap the rewards of Abbott’s work ethic and dedication. “Nathaniel is the type of athlete that has gotten better and better each and every year through hard work, but he’s definitely worked to get where he is,” Smith said. “I think Nathaniel has just started to reach his full potential, and Marshall is definitely getting an athlete that still has his best years in front of him.” Besides the proximity to home, Abbott notes that the official visit to campus was enough to sell him on being a member of the Thundering Herd. Abbott, however, adds that it had more to do with visiting the academic facilities than just being stuck on the athletic side of things. “When we started visiting the campus, everything about just felt right,” Abbott said. “Everybody was very welcoming, and I could tell it was going to be a lot of fun when I first stepped foot into their Engineering building. I’m really looking forward to continuing my studies there.” After missing out on all-league and regionals as a freshman in cross country, Abbott has done nothing but excel since learning the ropes as a freshman. Smith really believes that Abbott is headed to an ideal place to continue his career, mainly because has the possibility of mimicking what he has accomplished as a member of the Silver and Black. “I think the good thing for Nathaniel is that when he gets to Marshall, he won’t be the best runner they have and he’ll have to work his way through to get better,” Smith said. “It’s good because he’s not afraid of the work. It will push him to get better, and that’s something he’s done throughout his career. He’s not afraid of challenges.” Abbott is proud of what he’s been able to accomplish during his time at River Valley, but he also is quick to point out that he has not done all of this on his own. In fact, he believes that everyone in the River Valley community has played a small part in his success — and that those small See ABBOTT | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Messer, Nichols lead Rio men at Miami MLB Boston Toronto New York Baltimore Tampa Bay W 13 10 8 5 4 Minnesota Cleveland Chicago Detroit Kansas City W 7 8 4 4 3 Los Angeles Seattle Houston Oakland Texas ___ W 13 9 10 7 6 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division L Pct GB WCGB 2 .867 — — 5 .667 3 — 7 .533 5 1½ 11 .313 8½ 5 12 .250 9½ 6 Central Division L Pct GB WCGB 4 .636 — — 6 .571 ½ 1 9 .308 4 4½ 9 .308 4 4½ 11 .214 5½ 6 West Division L Pct GB WCGB 3 .813 — — 5 .643 3 — 7 .588 3½ ½ 10 .412 6½ 3½ 12 .333 8 5 New York Atlanta Philadelphia Washington Miami W 12 9 9 8 4 L 3 6 6 9 12 Pittsburgh St. Louis Chicago Milwaukee Cincinnati W 11 9 7 8 3 L 5 7 7 9 13 Arizona Colorado Los Angeles San Francisco San Diego W 11 10 6 6 7 L 4 8 9 9 11 NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .800 — — .600 3 — .600 3 — .471 5 2 .250 8½ 5½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .688 — — .563 2 ½ .500 3 1½ .471 3½ 2 .188 8 6½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .733 — — .556 2½ ½ .400 5 3 .400 5 3 .389 5½ 3½ AMERICAN LEAGUE Monday’s Games Baltimore at Boston, ppd.

Messer, a sophomore from Ashland, Ky., cleared 4.70m to take second place in the pole vault. Nichols, a senior from Pickerington, Ohio, was third in the shot put with a heave of 15.13m and fifth in the discus throw with a toss of 43.45m.

Smith is also Baker’s step-father. Personal feelings aside, Smith really feels that Cleveland State will be a good test for Baker over the next four years. He also believes that the Vikings can get even more out of her competitively than he did. “Kenzie has had a little bit of a different journey in high school. She came in and dominated as a freshman and sophomore, but then battled in his suspension. Keselowski hit the wall with 30 laps left, bringing out the final caution. Wallace gets a lead Darrell “Bubba” Wallace now knows that it is like to run up front in a Cup Series race. Wallace passed Busch with 126 laps remaining to lead a Cup race for the first time in his young career. It didn’t last long, though, as Busch blew by him a short time later. Who’s hot Daniel Suarez raced with a fractured thumb he suffered last week at Texas and finished in 11th place. Now that deserves a thumbs-up.

River Valley has a lot to do with this moment … and I am grateful.” Nathaniel — who carries a 3.75 grade-point average — is the son of Matt and Heather Abbott of Gallipolis.

Her best is still yet to come.” Baker, who acknowledges that the injuries did help rekindle a competitive fire, plans on majoring in the Nursing program during her tenure as a Viking. Though she enjoyed her visit to the campus and what the school has to offer, it was the complexity of the challenge ahead that really seemed to draw Baker to the outskirts of downtown Cleveland campus. One thing is certain, Baker is headed to a place where she is focused on succeeding. “I know it’s going to be difficult trying to balance the studies, the training and the competition, but I feel like I can do it because they are all things that are important to me,” Baker said. (Racine, OH), who was seventh in the hammer throw with a toss of 40.46m and ninth in the shot put with a heave of 12.13m; sophomore Daniel Everett (Fletcher, OH), who placed eighth in the hammer throw at 39.60m and ninth in the discus at 40.09m; and sophomore Dalton Duvall (Flatwoods, KY), who was 10th in the shot put with a toss of 11.94m. Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday, with some athletes attending the Jesse Owens Classic at Ohio State University in Columbus and others heading to Marietta College’s Don Frail Invitational. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. “Cleveland State has provided a great opportunity to me and I want to make the most of this chance because I am very passionate about all of the things involved. “I’ve worked hard to get where I am and I also know that there is a lot more work to be done at Cleveland State. I’m looking forward to the challenge.” Smith acknowledges that Baker had a handful of offers to other programs — including non-Division I programs in Ohio — but that she really wanted to go somewhere that would get the absolute best out of her abilities. Smith also thinks there was another reason behind her choice of the Horizon League school … and it was for all the right reasons. “I think Kenzie made some of this decision based on the fact that she didn’t want to be the best female athlete on the team coming into school. She wanted to work with other female teammates that would push her to get better,” Smith said. “I believe that Kenzie wants to be part of something bigger CABLE 6 PM WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News at Six (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur 6:30 PM PM 7:30 NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Newswatch (N) 6:30 Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

Cleveland State, both athletically and academically, will do those things.” Baker notes that as humbling and exciting as this opportunity is, she definitely did not get here all by herself. Her goal is to make a lot of people proud with what she accomplishes in the Green and Gold. “I have a lot of people to thank in getting me to this moment, but I really want to thank my family, coaches and friends for all of their support and encouragement over the years,” Baker said. “It hasn’t always been easy, but I wouldn’t be where I am today without all of them pushing during my time at River Valley. Those are the people, besides myself, that I’m competing for.” Baker, who hopes to later study Forensic Nursing, currently carries a 3.6 grade-point average.
