Mayor Don Anderson reported with the help of State Representative Jay Edwards, a meeting was held with all of the parties involved with the parking lot/ riverbank project including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to discuss the project’s funding. Anderson explained the corps of engineers was originally wanting to have the village’s full share of the payment of the project upfront before starting. The village’s share of the project is an estimated $675,000 at this point and Anderson shared may raise due to the continued flooding the village has withstood. Anderson said Farmer’s Bank will be the line of credit for the funding. The corps agreed to let the village pay in smaller increments throughout the project. As in the village will put in their 65 percent of the funding, then the corps will put in their 35 percent of the funding to complete the specific portion of the project. The village will add their shares to the account as each portion of the project comes up, rather than one large sum said Anderson. He reported the project can begin at anytime as the account at Farmer’s Bank is set up and ready. The corps will be bolstering up the wall at the levy with rip-rap on the riverside. In other business, Anderson reported the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will be in charge of repairing the box culvert on the walking path. Anderson said the village received an Appalachian Regional See PROJECT | 3 �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, April 25, 2018 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS BRIEFS WATSON Editor’s Note: Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

High court upholds death sentence for woman’s killer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence for a man convicted of fatally shooting a woman in the head with a rifle. The court’s unanimous ruling Tuesday came in the case of death row inmate Willie Wilks, who is sentenced to die for the 2013 shooting of Ororo Wilkins in Youngstown. A jury also convicted the 46-year-old Wilks of attempted murder for shooting at two other people who survived. Wilks denied involvement in the crime and pointed to two witnesses’ descriptions of the shooter having dreadlocks, which Wilks didn’t have. John Parker, a lawyer representing Wilks, called the ruling disappointing. He said Wilks didn’t receive a fair trial since the jury never heard from witnesses about the person with dreadlocks. �NEWS Daily Sentinel IN BRIEF Cosby case going to jury NORRISTOWN, Pa.

That phrase goes back more than 1,500 years and has been practiced at least that long. But not so much today. So it Mitch should surprise no one that, upon Albom the death of former first lady Barbara Contributing Bush last week, someone used Twitcolumnist ter to call her an “amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal. F—- outta here with your nice words.” What did surprise people was that the tweeter was a Fresno State English professor named Randa Jarrar, who continued her Twitter jousting with Internet critics, including the following comments: “Either you are against these pieces of s—- and their genocidal ways or you’re part of the problem.” “I’m happy the witch is dead. can’t wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million iraqis have. byyyeeeeeeee.” When showered with angry responses, some calling for her dismissal, Jarrar pulled the most incendiary trump card of all: her tenure. “I work as a tenured professor. I make 100K a year … I will never be fired.” The academic form of sticking out your tongue and yelling, “Nyah, nyah.” Disgusting, obnoxious, insensitive tweets Naturally, Jarrar’s actions — and her tweeting out a suicide hotline number, saying it was hers, which jammed that line for days — brought immediate scrutiny to Fresno State, and heated debate over free speech on college campuses. Conservatives screamed for her head and asked why Jarrar is tolerated when right-wing speakers are protested or even banned from universities. Liberals claimed that if Jarrar were punished, it would only prove that free speech in this country is in peril. And lost in this debate is the simple fact that Jarrar behaved like an obnoxious, petulant child. Her timing was insensitive, her glee at another’s death was disgusting, her lack of empathy for a grieving family was sub-human, and her chest pounding about tenure, a concept put into effect by the very government she apparently abhors, was hypocritical. It’s also beneath the behavior you’d expect from any teacher. Jarrar, according to the Los Angeles Times, in her late 30s. She identifies as Arab-American and Muslim. She was born in the U.S. and lived in the Middle East until 1991. With three advanced degrees — one from the University of Michigan — she apparently has spent most of her adult life in academia. Yet, according to numerous websites, she has tweeted out things like this: — “I can’t wait for the old white guard of literary writers and ‘critics’ to die. Their time is f—-ing up, too.” — “We are sooooo much cooler than Israelis, don’t at me b——.” — ” … f—- outta here with your white feminism. I said don’t at me, b——. I’m a professor …” This is someone teaching our kids. Tenure wasn’t designed to protect this Which raises the question, how low must you sink before getting fired from a university? Tenure, which protects certain professor’s jobs, sometimes for entire careers, makes it unclear. Invented in the 20th century, tenure was designed to keep powerful college donors from influencing freedom of thought. It’s a noble idea. But in an era when a Facebook post can get high school teachers fired, and a video clip can close down a national coffee chain for a day, a tenure bubble seems out of step with every other working American. There was no Twitter when tenure was conceived. Back then, it was about protecting lectures or written works. Behaving like an insensitive ass in public — which, let’s be blunt, is what Jarrar did — was never the intent. Nor was bragging about a $100,000 salary and your inability to get fired.

An attorney for the state said a lower court judge improperly ruled against the funding law. A decision isn’t expected for several weeks. ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio woman might want to ask some questions if she tries to borrow someone’s urine again to pass a drug test. WTOV-TV reports 24-year-old Kiana Wallace was sentenced to 18 months in prison Monday, in eastern Ohio’s Belmont County, after submitting a borrowed urine sample that tested positive for drugs. Wallace pleaded guilty earlier this month to attempted tampering with evidence. Judge Frank Fregiato called the failed urine swap “bizarre” and told Wallace he wouldn’t allow her to make a mockery of the drug and alcohol testing system. Records show Wallace was sentenced to six months in jail followed by probation in January 2017 for drug possession. Wallace’s public defender declined to comment Tuesday.

Blue Jackets good again, just not good enough for next level COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In a season of broken records and firsts for the Columbus Blue Jackets, one of the most important eluded them again: winning a playoff series. The Blue Jackets’ promising season fizzled out in Game 6 of their opening-round series against the Washington Capitals. They were stunning at times — like in the first two games, both won in OT — but glaringly not good enough the rest of the way. Columbus’ power play went to sleep, and the Capitals took four in a row, capping it with a 6-3 victory Monday night. Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky made some acrobatic saves throughout the series, but he also allowed a goal or two he should have knocked down. “We did not make big plays,” coach John Tortorella said. “At times, we didn’t get a big save. That goes right on through the team. I’m not just saying (Bobrovsky), but the whole team. That’s why you’re out in six. It’s tough in the playoffs. We have a number of things we need to get better at, as individuals and as a team.” There are reasons to be optimistic about the future of this young team. It battled through slumps and myriad injuries to key players, climbing back in the Metropolitan Division race with a 10-game winning streak. It played its grittiest hockey in February and March and emerged as a wild card from a mix of teams that all came on strong to finish. “I’m so proud to lead this team, but I just want to see something good happen for our team,” said captain Nick Foligno, who scored two goals on Monday. “I want us to realize the potential we have in here, and I want it to happen now.” Rrecords and firsts Columbus traded last offseason for forward Artemi Panarin, who became the star the team had hoped he would be. He broke Rick Nash’s franchise record for points with 82 (27 goals, 55 assists). He was great in the first three games of the playoffs but went quiet as Washington figured out how to pressure him. The Blue Jackets sorely need another guy performing at Panarin’s level.

TV14 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, April 25, 2018 Daily Sentinel This is the class of the (flawed) QB DENVER (AP) — We’ve been hearing it for months: The 2018 NFL draft is all about the quarterback. The quarterback conundrum is more like it. “You can go around a room and probably get four or five different opinions on how they should be stacked.” That’s a quote from John Elway, Denver Broncos general manager and headliner of the pre-eminent 1983 QB class that featured six first-round selections and produced three Hall of Famers. There’s no consensus top QB this year like there was with Andrew Luck or Cam Newton a few years ago. Every one of this year’s “Big Four” — USC’s Sam Darnold , Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield , Wyoming’s Josh Allen and UCLA’s Josh Rosen — can find their names atop somebody’s mock draft this week and almost certainly first on somebody’s draft board Thursday night. What this year’s quarterback crop lacks in clarity it makes up for in complexity. Louisville’s Lamar Jackson , Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph , and Senior Bowl star Kyle Lauletta of Richmond are also hopeful they’ll hear Roger Goodell call their names Michael Ainsworth | AP A view of AT&T Stadium on Sunday as preparations for the upcoming NFL football draft are underway in Arlington, Texas. early. Throw in Washington State’s Luke Falk, and maybe it’s one of these “Little Four” quarterbacks who might ultimately end up as the gem of this year’s draft. Sort of like sixthrounder Tom Brady in 2000 or third-rounder Russell Wilson in 2012. Should six quarterbacks go in the first round, as many suspect, it would tie the ‘83 standard when Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Ken O’Brien and Dan Marino were selected. If quarterbacks go 1-2-3, it would match 1999’s group in which Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb and Akili Smith were the first three players off the board a year before Brady went 199th. There’s no clear-cut, surefire top pick quarterback in this year’s draft because all of the prime prospects have at least one key drawback. So, all of those owners, GMs, scouts and coaches scratching their heads for months will soon be crossing their fingers if they bypass Saquon Barkley, Bradley Chubb, Quenton Nelson, Denzel Ward, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Derwin James and Tremaine Edmunds to dive into the deep quarterback class , which could make or break a franchise’s fortunes. Every year, quarterbacks rise to the top of the draft, pushing value down the board to teams who already have theirs. Fifty-six quarterbacks have been drafted in the first round since 1996, the last draft featuring no first-round QBs. “This quarterback draft, like every draft, drives the top end of this thing,” NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. “I’m always amazed — and maybe I shouldn’t be — but last year, three of the top 12 picks were quarterbacks and all three were trade-ups on draft night. The year before, the Rams went all the way up to one to go get (Jared) Goff. The Eagles went from 13 to eight to two to go get Carson Wentz. It’s a quarterback-driven league.

Half Doubles � EHGURRP WUDLOHU IRU UHQW ���� PR� FDOO ������������ NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals are the only teams on track to pay baseball’s luxury tax this year, according to opening-day payroll totals compiled by Major League Baseball and obtained by The Associated Press. Boston’s payroll at the start of the season for purposes of the tax was $233.9 million, which would cause the Red Sox to pay a $9.4 million tax. Washington’s payroll was $201 million, which would result in a tax of $1.2 million. San Francisco was just below the $197 million tax threshold at $196.66 million. The Giants were followed by the Chicago Cubs at $183.9 million, Houston at $182.4 million, the Los Angeles Dodgers at $181.99 million and the New York Yankees at $178.8 million. New York was over the threshold from 2003-17, paying $341 million. The Dodgers have had the highest tax bill for the past four seasons and have paid nearly $150 million over the last five years.

They remain the only active NHL franchise never to win a playoff series. The Capitals struck first again Monday night. Shortly after Holtby held off a Columbus barrage, Orlov got his first goal of the series when he skated into the slot and rifled a slap shot over Bobrovsky’s glove side with 7:48 left in the first. Foligno got his first of the playoffs halfway through the second when he snapped a shot past Holtby from the right circle. That came soon after the Blue Jackets survived overlapping penalties, including 32 seconds of a 5-on-3. Ovechkin put back a rebound of a shot by Brooks Orpik to make it 2-1 with 7:10 left in the second, the 50th playoff goal of the Russian star’s career.

Browns wait to see if draft number is called Commission to unveil BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Browns get the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft this week. Next month, they hope to get the entire draft. In partnership with the cities of Cleveland, Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Browns are a finalist to host the 2019 or 2020 drafts. The league is also considering Denver; Kansas City, Missouri; Las Vegas; and Nashville, Tennessee. The Ohio group, behind the theme “Bring It Home,” wants the event held in the birthplace of pro football. The draft has grown in popularity in recent years after the league moved it outside New York, its home from 1965-2014. The league will announce the winning cities for the ‘19 and ‘20 drafts during its spring meeting in Atlanta from May 21-23. This year’s draft begins Thursday outside Dallas. On Monday, the Browns revealed some of the proposal it submitted to the league, and team vice president Dave Jenkins expressed confidence in the group’s bid. “We’re excited,” BIG SALE OUR 55th YEAR BUY 2 GET 3rd 55% OFF LAMP SHADES 5,000 in Stock!

The uniqueness of being able to partner with the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the fact that professional football was founded here in Northeast Ohio and to have the abilities of probably the greatest sports commission in the country as far as attracting events and executing those. “When you have a significant amount of outof-town visitors, there’s no doubt in our mind that we can execute this and give fans in this community an incredible experience.” Under the group’s plan, Cleveland and Canton would be used throughout the four-day event, kicking off with a dinner at the hall, which is undergoing a $700 million expansion that will transform it into “The Disneyland of football” The draft’s first round would take place at Cleveland’s iconic Public Auditorium, which just hosted the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for the fourth time. Also, the NFL’s Fan Fest would take place in downtown Cleveland, utilizing both indoor and outdoor spaces to accommodate fans from across the country. One of Cleveland’s major selling points is the city’s recent success in hosting such major events as the 2016 Republican National Convention. David Gilbert, Greater Cleveland Sports Commission president and CEO, served as the RNC host committee in 2016. He said the convention’s success is proof Cleveland can handle an event of this magnitude. “We feel very confident that if they choose Cleveland that we are going to deliver in a big way,” he said. “We’re not going to be learning on the job.” Gilbert estimated that the economic impact on hosting the draft would be comparable to what Philadelphia experienced last year. More than 250,000 visitors pumped nearly $95 million into the local economy. “I believe from a people standpoint and an out-of-towner standpoint, other than hosting another political convention, I don’t know of an event that Cleveland could host that would have as large of an impact for one event,” Gilbert said. The next two years are important in league history as the NFL celebrates its 100-year anniversary and its centennial season. As far as the Cleveland/Canton group is concerned, Northeast Ohio is the perfect place for this pigskin party. “When you look at the whole ‘Bring it Home’, I think it was important when all the groups got together to have one unified message,” Gilbert said. “This wasn’t about just Cleveland, it wasn’t about just Canton. It was ‘how do you unify the tremendous history of the Browns and what it’s meant for many, many decades to Cleveland, along with certainly the 100th anniversary and the Pro Football Hall of Fame?’” NFL officials recently toured possible sites. Gilbert said they inquired about the city’s handling of the Cavaliers’ 2016 NBA championship parade when nearly 1 million people jammed downtown. “So that was another feather in the cap,” he said. ideas to fix college basketball’s woes RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — College basketball played an entire season amid a federal corruption investigation that magnified long-simmering troubles within the sport, from shady agent dealings to concerns over athletes who’d rather go straight to the pros. Now it’s time to hear new ideas on how to fix the complex, wideranging problems. On Wednesday morning, the commission headed by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will present its proposed reforms to university presidents of the NCAA Board of Governors and the Division I Board of Directors at the NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis. And that starts what could be a complicated process in getting changes adopted and implemented for next season. “I expect the proposals will be strong,” NCAA president Mark Emmert told The Associated Press. “They’ll certainly break with the status quo. That’s their charge and their mission. That’s what we need. “I think it’s going to be a very good day for college sports,” he said. That would be welcome, considering there has been no shortage of bad days in recent months. The Commission on College Basketball formed in October , a few weeks after federal prosecutors announced they had charged 10 men — including assistant coaches at Arizona, Auburn, USC and Oklahoma State along with a top Adidas exec- utive — in a fraud and bribery scandal. The case involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in alleged bribes and kickbacks designed to influence recruits on choosing a school, agent or apparel company. And it has entangled schools such as Kansas, North Carolina State , Louisville and Miami , among others, though prosecutors withdrew a criminal complaint in Feburary against one of the defendants, a youth hoops program director. Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford said that case has put college sports in the position of reacting instead of proactively heading off yet-to-emerge problems. “Sometimes unfortunately that’s what it takes,” Swofford told the AP. “You’d like to think that collectively the basketball world could’ve seen this coming and had the foresight to get out ahead of it. But that’s not reality. Organizations and people, we all sometimes need wakeup calls. And I see this as a wake-up call, and therefore an opportunity.” One the Rice commission wants to seize. It was charged with finding ways to reform and modernize rules, including looking at the NCAA’s relationship with the NBA, youth leagues, apparel companies and agents. It was also set to review an enforcement process that frequently takes years to resolve complicated cases of potentially major rules violations. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
