Teaming up to support Honor Flight By Jordan Pickens Special to the Sentinel RACINE — It’s often said that amazing things happen when people come together for the greater good. That certainly was the case at the Racine American Legion Post 602 on the afternoon of April 22. Racine Chapter #134 Order of the Eastern Star organized and sponsored a dinner where 100 percent of the proceeds would benefit Meigs County Veterans partici- pating in an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. The dinner was held from 2-4 p.m., and in that short amount of time the Eastern Star chapter raised $1,325 for the upcoming honor flight. “I dedicated my theme this year to veterans, and I wanted to do something that would connect with our community,” said Ruth Ann Fox, Worthy Matron of Racine Chapter. “It means a lot to these Veterans that get to go that would normally not have the ability to be able to go [to Washington, D.C.]. I am very thankful that we have a loving Eastern Star Chapter in Racine and that we have such a loving community who support anything that goes on, especially if it is for our Veterans,” Fox continued. JoAnne Newsome, a regional Honor Flight advocate who was on hand to receive the check, spoke about honor flights and the process behind them. “Veterans are shown all of the monuments and memorials of Washington, D.C., and today’s donation assists in Meigs County Veterans’ costs for pre-flight hotel rooms and evening meals before we take off. Honor Flight Network furnishes everything from the plane, fuel, and pilots. All Honor Flight pilots and air crew are military Veterans or military families and all donate their time for these Veterans’ trip.

The wrong percentages were reported in the article. The Daily Sentinel apologizes for this error. Daily Sentinel MEIGS CHURCH CALENDAR Friday, April 27 HEMLOCK GROVE — Hemlock Grove Christian Church Youth will sponsor an age-appropriate Movie Holter From page 1 offender. The three fourthdegree felony offenses which Holter pleaded guilty to involved three separate victims over an eight-year time frame. In a statement read by Canepa, one of those victims recalled how Holter was the father of her friend, a person whose house she spent the night and whom her family had dinner with. The victim’s statement went on to say that Holter had “everything lined up perfectly to take advantage.” “You broke everything I stood for,” her statement continued, noting that the crime happened just months before she was to graduate high school. The victim’s statement recalled that during what should have been the best years of her life she had to take time to meet with attorneys, investigators, and many others, as well as taking a polygraph test to prove she was telling the truth. Holter did not take a polygraph regarding the case according to the victim’s statement. She concluded her statement by saying that it had been a long six years (since the offense happened) but that Holter was finally getting what he deserved. “You are a coward,” she stated. Holter declined to address the court, with Finley simply asking the court to go along with the plea agreement. As part of his sentence, Holter must resign from his position with the Meigs County Fair Board and as a bus driver with Eastern Local (he has already retired from this position), as well as being prohibited from employing females under 18 and to not be employed in a position which would put him in close contact with minor females. At the plea hearing in March, Canepa detailed the alleged offenses against Holter with regard to three victims who were employed on his farm over an eight-year time frame. She stated that with the first victim Holter would make comments and sexually harass her; attempt to move her sports bras to see her breasts; ride on the four-wheeler with her, put his arms around her with his hands up her shirt or down her pants. With the second victim, Canepa said Holter hosed her down, tried to get her to take her clothes off; grabbed her breasts and butt and tried to get her to lay in the hay with him. The third victim reported that Holter would smack her butt and make sexual comments; put his hand down her pants and panties and rub her, according to Canepa. The victims were Night from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The Church is located at 38387 Hemlock Grove Road, Pomeroy.

While the parents of the victim (who had submitted her statement to the court) were not permitted to address the court during Wednesday’s hearing, they provided copies of their written victim impact statements to the media following the sentencing. “Ed Holter preyed on his daughters’ friends for years,” stated the mother of the victim in her statement. “He would invite them to his home. He would employ them on his farm. He would flirt. He would joke. He was their bus driver. He would lure them into a false sense of security and trust, then he would strike.” She added that he used the friendships as a way to keep it quiet. “Ed Holter is a true predator. Ed Holter is a monster,” she stated. “I have spent the last six years doing everything in my power to see that Ed Holter was held accountable for what he did to these girls. And we will truly never know the full impact his actions have had on each of them will we……Ed Holter robbed them all of their potential.” The mother continued, “Ed Holter may look at this plea bargain as a gift because he knows (as we all know) that his sins are far greater than what he has pleaded to here, but it is also a gift to the girls. They don’t have to tell what happened to them again if they don’t want to. No more attorneys, law enforcement, investigators. No more public scrutiny and whispers. They can finally put what happened to them behind them. They can walk with their heads held high. They are getting justice today. Today, everyone will know they did not lie about what Ed Holter did to them. Today, everyone will know Ed Holter is a sexual predator,” stated the mother. The father of the victim described the emotions which have been involved since learning of the crime — Disappointment, Disbelief, Shock, Rage, Revenge, Sadness and Faith. “My teen daughter, sexually assaulted at her part-time high school job by you; just couldn’t be. This was a dad’s worst nightmare. I initially acted like too many others have, I didn’t want to believe it,” stated the victim’s father. “None of your victims can be, in life, what they would have been without your negative impact.” In addition to the criminal case, a civil action against Holter and Holter Holstein Farms has been filed in Meigs County Common Pleas Court by one of the victims.

The Washington Post reports that more than 60,000 Honda vehicles on the road today have defective airbags that experts have referred to as “ticking time bombs,” an airbag model regarded by safety experts as likeliest to cause serious injury or death. The owners of these vehicles are a small but stubborn subset defying what has been America’s largest safety recall ever. It was initiated in 2008, and directed at Takata Corp., the Japanese manufacturer of the airbags. These owners have ignored the recall notices or never received them; many of the vehicles are older models that probably have changed hands. The bomb analogy is dramatic but spot on. But while many Worldwide, at least 22 owners have people have been killed heeded the recall when airbags exploded warnings and had and shot out shrapnel.

Ammonium nitrate should ring a bell. It’s the unstable compound that Timothy McVeigh used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the material Afghan Taliban militants have used to craft roadside bombs, the biggest killer of American soldiers during the war in Afghanistan. Other airbag manufacturers use a less volatile chemical, tetrazole. The chances of ammonium nitrate becoming problematic heighten when the material is exposed to moisture. Higher humidity or large, repeated fluctuations in temperature can cause Takata inflators to degrade, and eventually explode. Takata declared bankruptcy last year, under the weight of debt that topped $9 billion. The Justice Department fined the company $1 billion for manipulating test data about the performance of its inflators and failing to cooperate with the government’s investigation into the airbags. Overall, the recall has involved more than 39 million vehicles built by 19 automakers, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. More than 22 million of those cars have been repaired. But while many owners have heeded the recall warnings and had airbags replaced, 62,307 people are driving Hondas equipped with the dangerous driver-side airbag models, known as Alphas. Those airbags have a 50 percent chance of exploding — not of deploying but of exploding — after impact. Alpha recalls also have been issued for an unspecified number of 2006 Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series vehicles. A question to those motorists: What are you waiting for? A former Justice Department prosecutor involved in the recall effort has referred to the Alpha airbag as a grenade waiting to explode. And even for motorists whose cars don’t have an Alpha but have airbag models included in the recall, remember this: When you’re behind the wheel, the device safety experts urge you to replace is positioned about a foot from your chest. Appearing on the market in the 1980s, airbags have a proven track record of saving lives. There’s an easy way to see if your airbag is among the dangerous ones. At NHTSA’s website, www.nhtsa.gov, input your vehicle identification number (VIN), and see whether your car is subject to the recall. If it is, hustle to a dealer. Repairs are free of charge. Knowing what’s at stake for you and your loved ones, how can you put it off any longer?

It seem like there is always at least one difficult person (DP) in and around our professional or personal vicinity; coworker, colleague, supervisor, board member, soccer mom, family member, friend, neighbor, or other. And these people can be in our locality temporarily or permanently. Oh! “Let’s face it, the world has difficult people in it, and no doubt sometimes you and I are problematic too…There are bullies, abusers, sociopaths, narcissists, and people who really don’t care about others, the environment or creating a better world. We’ve all met these types of wounded people. Maybe we’ve even been them at some point,” writes Azriel ReShel, author of the article, The Art of Dealing with Difficult People. While some DP’s are unaware of their difficultness; others seem to thrive on creating chaos and dissension. Years ago, the receptionist where I worked would spray Lysol after every customer left the office and then complain. I did not find her to be malicious, but self-absorbed with a germ phobia.

Humor can diffuse internal frustration. I confess to putting a dead fly on the desk of the germophobe receptionist to see her reaction. Eek! I’m sure Adam Brady would not have approved. Focus on the positive qualities of the DP. The office receptionist kept the entire office clean and sanitary; provided each employee with a box of tissues, hand sanitizer, and encouraged us to stay home from work when sick.

Bush in the Oval Office in December of 2008. The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women may belong. Worldwide, there are over 500,000 members. The organization was created in the United States in the early nineteenth century to allow women to join with their Masonic relatives in promoting the values and charitable purposes that are such an important part of the Masonic fraternity. While the Order of the Eastern Star has evolved over the centuries, it still remains rooted in its charitable endeavors and fraternal fellowship. The organization is open to women, 18 years of age or older, who are related to Masons in good standing. Male members of the order must be Masons in good standing. In addition, women who were or are active members of the International Order of Job’s Daughters or the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls (youth organizations sponsored by Masonic Lodges and Eastern Star Chapters) may petition for membership. Rainbow or Job’s Daughter petitioners must have been active in their youth group for at least three (3) years or have reached “majority,” and be at least 18 years of age. Anyone interested in or with questions about joining The Order of the Eastern Star may call Ruth Ann Fox at (740) 247-4505. From page 1 fundraiser. I am thankful to Racine Eastern Star Chapter for doing this for our Veterans.” David Fox, Worthy Patron of Racine Chapter added his statements of appreciation of Veterans. “I grew up during the Vietnam Era, and a lot of those men and women had a rough time coming back.” The Honor Flight Network was co-founded by Earl Morse, the son of a Korean and Vietnam War Veteran, and Jeff Miller, a small business owner and son of a WWII Veteran. Earl Morse, Physician Assistant and Retired Air Force Captain, worked in a Department of Veteran Affairs clinic in Springfield, Ohio. After the National World War II Memorial was completed in 2004, he realized many of his WWII patients would not be able to travel to DC to visit their memorial. Morse, himself a pilot, offered to fly with two veterans to Washington. In January of 2005, he pitched the idea to about 300 private pilots at his local Air Force aeroclub. He proposed the pilots would pay for the flights and personally escort veterans around the city. Eleven additional pilots volunteered. By January 2005, a board was formed, funds were raised, and other volunteers had joined. On May 21, 2005, six planes flew 12 veterans to Washington, D.C., for the first Honor Flight. A combination of small planes and commercial flights were used to transport a total of 126 WWII veterans during Courtesy photos Student volunteers from Southern High School assisted in serving the meal, prepared by Racine Chapter #134 O.E.S.

Miller was also concerned that local WWII Veterans would never visit their new memorial. Miller formed HonorAir and began flying great numbers of WWII Veterans from the Asheville Regional Airport using enormous chartered jets. By the end of 2006, HonorAir had flown the first year of offering Honor Flights. In late 2005, Jeff Miller, a dry-cleaning company owner in Hendersonville, N.C., inspired by Morse, had a similar idea but on a larger scale — to charter entire commercial jets. Miller, the son of a World War II Veteran and nephew of a B-24 pilot who died in the war, had been a charter TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 45° 58° 60° AccuWeather.com Asthma Index™ Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack.

The Point Pleasant girls tennis team picked up its fourth straight victory on Friday with a 5-2 decision over visiting Chapmanville in a non-conference match held at The Courts in Mason County. The host Lady Knights (9-4-1) won 3-of-4 singles events and also secured victories in 2-of-3 doubles contests while securing a season split with the Lady Tigers.

Familiar refrain: Bengals look to offensive help in draft CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton hasn’t seen this much change in the Bengals’ offense since his rookie season. He’s expecting even more when the NFL draft begins on Thursday. For the second straight year, the Bengals need a lot of help on offense. They chose receiver John Ross and running back Joe Mixon with their first two picks last season, hoping to inject big plays into an offense that had declined. Instead, things got even worse — Cincinnati finished last in the league in offense for the first time in its history. Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor has been given a free hand to overhaul the offense, and the Bengals are expected to put a heavy accent on it during the draft. “That’s one of the big things that we’re trying to do here: Start from scratch, make things feel new,” Dalton said. “There are a lot of new faces and coaches, a couple new players, and I think we have more coming in the next couple of weeks. Things feel new, and that’s a good thing. “What we’ve done in the last couple of years wasn’t good enough, and so we’ve got to do things a different way.” There are new coordinators on offense and defense, although head coach Marvin Lewis was retained and given a two-year contract extension that provide more chances to get his elusive first playoff win. The Bengals started a youth movement last season and it didn’t go smoothly, especially on the offense.

Oladipo’s shooting woes continued. He’s only 12 of 50 from the field in the last three games. He scored 32 in the Pacers’ Game 1 win, but the Cavs have been double-teaming him ever since. The third quarter has been a major problem for Cleveland all season. The Cavs had tried everything to try and shake things up after halftime, even doing layup lines at the break in Game 4 like a high school squad. Turns out, all it took was some defensive intensity. Down by seven at half, the Cavs swarmed the Pacers in the third quarter, forcing five turnovers in the first six minutes and holding Indiana to one field goal over the first 6:52 while opening with a 19-3 run. Cleveland outscored Indiana 32-17 in the third, when the Pacers shot just 5 for 16 (31 percent) and committed seven turnovers. The Cavs were again without starting point guard George Hill, who missed his second straight game with back spasms. Tough choice: Browns mulling 4 QBs with No. 1 pick CLEVELAND (AP) — As far as Cleveland fans are concerned, only one quarterback fits all the essential criteria for the Browns to draft him with the No. 1 overall pick. His last name? Darnoldallenrosenmayfield. With the NFL draft quickly approaching, the team’s die-hard supporters, and there have been few groups in NFL history to suffer like this one has the past two seasons, are divided over which of the top four college QBs the team should select. There’s the Sam Darnold contingent, which sees the two-year Southern Cal starter as the safest choice, the one who checks all the positive boxes. Josh Allen’s supporters point to the big Wyoming QB’s high-velocity arm, which could help him knife passes through those tricky home winds off Lake Erie. Josh Rosen’s backers love the UCLA star’s accuracy and his cerebral game. And of course there’s the Baker Mayfield army, which dismiss his 6-foot frame and believe Oklahoma’s swaggering Heisman Trophy winner is the next Brett Favre. Oh, and let’s not forget the fans who feel Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is worthy of going first and that the Browns can wait until No. 4 to get their quarterback. But while there’s no clear consensus between fans as the Browns prepare for a franchise-changing draft, general manager John Dorsey and his staff will have presumably reached an accord by the time Commissioner Roger Goodell is handed their card on the stage at AT&T Stadium. If not, well, these are the bumbling Browns. Cleveland’s inability to find a franchise quarterback — they’ve had 28 starters since 1999 — is the biggest reason for the team’s sustained misery. And once again they have the chance to correct the problem after passing on Carson Wentz and Deshaun Watson in the past two drafts. �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Thursday, April 26, 2018 7 A tale of 2 bats, and Babe Ruth’s 60th home run in 1927 NEW YORK (AP) — As part of its collection of Babe Ruth items, the Baseball Hall of Fame says it has the bat the slugger used to hit his then-record 60th home run in 1927. A private collector also claims to own the bat, and he’s selling it at auction. PSA/DNA, one of the leading sports memorabilia authenticators, supports his assertion. The dispute dates back more than 90 years to the original owner of each bat and how he professed to acquire it. The bat being sold by the anonymous collector can be traced back to Joe E. Brown, the entertainer and vaudeville comedian with whom Ruth had a friendship. Brown said Ruth, who had presented him with the bat the slugger used to hit three home runs in the 1926 World Series, personally gave him the bat used to hit his 60th homer in 1927. The bat is signed, “To Joe E. Brown From Babe Ruth.” Brown then passed the bat down to his son Joe L. Brown, who was general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1955-76. The younger Brown then sold the bat to a collector. “There is documenta- out and handed him THE bat. He handed him a bat, there’s no question about that. Was it the bat that hit the 60th home run? I doubt that very highly.” Another complicating part of Kahn’s story is that he changed the details. Challenged by Brown at the luncheon, Kahn then said he got the bat from Ruth. “The relationship (Ruth) had with Joe Brown, and the fact he had already gifted him with the 1926 World Series bat,” Taube said, “and especially that the season wasn’t over yet when Kahn says Miller APfile Huggins and/or Ruth gave In this undated file photo, New York Yankees’ Babe Ruth hits a home-run.

The Museum’s stance on the bat has not changed since it was accessioned in 1939. Given the lack of proof to the contrary, we will continue to maintain that the bat in our collection is the one Babe Ruth used to hit his 60th home run of 1927.” Taube said he was not aware of any other instance where there were multiple claims of such a high-profile item. He also wanted to make it clear he wasn’t trying to challenge the Hall of Fame. “I respect them. It’s a baseball shrine,” he said. “You have to understand, during the day, there was no provenance. Many of the items that were given to the Hall were presented as, ‘Here’s the bat that did this, here’s the glove’ and there was no follow-up. “Nobody is perfect.” Steelers likely to focus on defense early Meigs football golf tournament set for June 2 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kevin Colbert isn’t a fan of the word “need.” The Pittsburgh Steelers general manager believes it points too specifically to one area of weakness. “We have to be better and I do not think we were better in 2017 than we were in 2016 because we got eliminated a round earlier,” Colbert said of the AFC North champions, who were upset at home by Jacksonville in the divisional round of the playoffs. “And I think that’s a reflection on the job that all of us did or didn’t do. And how do we get better?” POMEROY, Ohio — The Meigs football team will sponsor a golf tournament on Saturday, June 2, at the Meigs County Golf Course. Registration is at 8 a.m. on Saturday and there will be a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The format will be a four-man scramble with a team handicap over 40. Only one player can have a handicap of less than eight. Cost is $240 per team, which includes free food and beverages (Water/Pepsi products). Each player can purchase a single mulligan for $5 and there will be prizes for the first, second and third place teams — along with other prizes. Make checks payable to Meigs football. Interested golfers should call Tonya Cox at 740-6454479 or Meigs County Golf Course at 740-992-6312. For the Steelers — who never met a salary cap they didn’t like to butt up against — that means using the draft as a way to address what Colbert prefers to call “challenges.” Even for a team that’s won three division titles in four years, there are plenty to go around. Pro Bowl inside linebacker Ryan Shazier has already been ruled out for 2018 while recovering from spine stabilization surgery that has put his career in jeopardy. All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell could be playing his final season in Pittsburgh in 2018 if the two sides can’t find enough common ground to lock him up to a long-term deal. The secondary is in the process of yet another overhaul after Mike Mitchell, William Gay and Robert Golden were cut loose in March. While Pittsburgh added defensive back Morgan Burnett and linebacker Jon Bostic as relatively low-cost free agents, the Steelers prefer to add difference makers in the draft, as they did last year when they took linebacker T.J. Watt in the first round and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in the second.

His conclusion after his first spring: “We’re taking the first baby steps here, Reality hit Scott Frost upon his return to Nebras- and nothing that we’re doing right now is where ka as head coach. The I want it to be and where Cornhuskers, physically, the coaching staff wants looked every bit like the The Associated Press HELP WANTED DENTAL FRONT OFFICE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Private dental office looking for “Dental Front Office Support” member to join our team.

When he showed up in Lincoln in December, he didn’t recognize the place. A program that had been physically dominant during its 1990s heyday under Tom Osborne had become soft. Frost’s priority has been to toughen up the team. Practices moved at a fast pace, there was more live tackling, and players were told if they were going to make a mistake, they should make it at full speed. Mike Riley’s pro-style offense has been replaced by the no-huddle spreadoption that put up huge numbers at UCF last year. The 3-4 defense will stay, but an attitude adjustment and some tweaks by new coordinator Erik Chinander should make the unit better than the one that ranked among the worst in the nation. “We have to be patient as coaches to teach lessons as problems arise, continue to develop, get guys in better shape, get guys stronger and get guys more familiar,” said Frost, the only new coach in the Big Ten. “Sometimes you get impatient as a coach and think that it’s going to happen overnight — and it’s not.” Things to know coming out of spring across the Big Ten: Ohio State QB race The defending conference champion Buckeyes are looking for a successor to J.T.

Kenseth will return to NASCAR this season in a reunion with Roush Fenway Racing, the team that gave him his Cup start in 1998. Kenseth will split the No. 6 Ford with Trevor Bayne, who has been the full-time driver of that car since 2015. Kenseth returning to NASCAR with RFR CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Roush Fenway Racing wants to be among NASCAR’s elite again and recognized it needed help for its ongoing rebuild. The organization called on Matt Kenseth, one of its cornerstone former drivers, and asked him to come back. When Kenseth took the call from team owner Jack Roush, he had just one question: What took the team owner so long to reach out? “What took so long is there was a rawness from him leaving me,” Roush said Wednesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Kenseth launched his Cup career with Roush in 1998 and he won a Cup championship and two Daytona 500s driving for the one-storied team. But he moved in 2013 to Joe Gibbs Racing, where he won 15 of his 39 career Cup victories, and it took Roush some time to get over the betrayal. In the time Kenseth was gone, Carl Edwards also moved to Gibbs and a stumbling sponsorship problem in NASCAR forced Roush to gradually downsize from five cars to the two Cup entries he’s fielding this year. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won two races last year and made NASCAR’s playoffs, but the organization has struggled to build consistency and get Stenhouse and former Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne running equally. Kenseth will split the No. 6 Ford with Bayne, with Kenseth’s first race coming next month at Kansas Speedway. Kenseth will also enter the All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the rest of his schedule is still being determined. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts joined the organization Wednesday and will likely be on the car when Kenseth drives. Bayne, who has personal sponsorship from AdvoCare, was not thrilled with the split time. “He reacted the way we expected him to react. He’s a fierce competitor and wants to be in the car every week,” Roush team president Steve Newmark said of Bayne. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Commission on College Basketball sharply directed the NCAA to take control of the sport, calling for sweeping reforms to separate pro and college tracks, permit players to return to school after going undrafted by the NBA and ban cheating coaches for life. The independent commission, led by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, released a detailed 60-page report Wednesday, seven months after the group was formed by the NCAA in response to a federal corruption investigation that rocked college basketball. Ten people, including some assistant coaches, have been charged in a bribery and kickback scheme , and high-profile programs such as Arizona, Louisville and Kansas have been tied to possible NCAA violations. “The members of this commission come from a wide variety of backgrounds but the one thing that they share in common is that they believe the college basketball enterprise is worth saving,” Rice told the AP Tuesday night, before addressing NCAA leaders on Wednesday morning. “We believe there’s a lot of work to do in that regard. That the state of the game is not very strong.” It’s not yet clear how the governing body would pay for some of the proposals, and some of the panel’s key recommendations would require cooperation from the NBA, its players union and USA Basketball. The commission offered harsh assessments of toothless NCAA enforcement, as well as the shady Darron Cummings | AP The NCAA headquarters is pictured Wednesday in Indianapolis. The Commission on College Basketball, led by Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, released a detailed, 60-page report Wednesday, seven months after the NCAA formed the group to respond to a federal corruption investigation that rocked college basketball. summer basketball circuit that includes AAU leagues and brings together agents, apparel companies and coaches looking to profit on teenage prodigies. It called the environment surrounding college basketball “a toxic mix of perverse incentives to cheat,” and said responsibility for the current mess goes all the way up to university presidents. The group recommended the NCAA have more involvement with players before they get to college and less involvement with enforcement. It also acknowledged the NCAA will need help to make some changes and defended its amateurism model, saying paying players a salary isn’t the answer. “The goal should not be to turn college basketball into another professional league,” the commission wrote in its report. The 12-member panel included college administrators and former coaches and players, and was tasked with finding ways to reform five areas: NBA draft rules, including the league’s age limit that has led to so-called one-and-done players; the relationship between players and agents; nonscholastic basketball like AAU; involvement of apparel companies and NCAA enforcement. One-and-done The commission emphasized the need for elite players to have more options when choosing between college and professional basketball, and to separate the two tracks. The commission called for the NBA and its players association to change rules requiring players to be at least 19 years old and a year removed from graduating high school to be draft eligible. The one-and-done rule was implemented in 2006, despite the success of straight-from-high-school stars such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. ,��������$%� '������� �)#�$��!�� ,� ���&� �� ���%���%���!& ,��"!%�$(�&�(����$�%&��! ,��" '!�&*� "�'%�� ,��$"'������ � ��$ ,� ��$��!������!��� ,��"'����!�� ��$��%% ,��$"(�!���$(�������"$� ,� �$���"$��!���!����+����!& ,��" �&&���&"��'�������$(��� ON MAY 8TH Choose the candidate who has a genuine passion for her home. warnerforjudge.com Agents The commission proposed the NCAA create a program for certifying agents, and make them accessible to players from high school through their college careers. AAU and summer leagues The NCAA, with support from the NBA and USA Basketball, should run its own recruiting events for prospects during the summer, the commission said, and take a more serious approach to certifying events it does not control. The NCAA should require greater transparency of the finances of what it called non-scholastic basketball events and ban its coaches from attending those that do not comply with more stringent vetting, the report said. Such a ban could wipe out AAU events that have flourished in showcasing future talent.

The commission did, however, say if the NBA and NBPA refuse to change their rules in time for the next basketball season, it would reconvene and consider other options for the NCAA, such as making freshmen ineligible or locking a scholarship for three or four years if the recipient leaves a program after a single year. “One-and-done has to go one way or another,” Rice told the AP. The commission decided against attempting to mirror rules for baseball but said it could reconsider. Major League Baseball drafts players out of high school, but once an athlete goes to college he is not eligible to be drafted until after his third year. Baseball players can also return for their senior seasons after being drafted as long as they do not sign professional contracts. The commission did take a piece of the baseball model and recommended basketball players be allowed to test the professional market in high school or after any college season, while still maintaining college eligibility. If undrafted, a college player would remain eligible as long as he requests an evaluation from the NBA and returns to the same school. Players could still leave college for professional careers after one year, but the rules would not compel them to do so. ing Louisville and Syracuse basketball resulted in postseason bans of one year. In those cases, thenLouisville coach Rick Pitino, who was later fired after being tied to the FBI investigation, received a five-game NCAA suspension for violations related to an assistant coach hiring strippers for recruits, and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim was suspended for nine games for academic misconduct and extra benefits violations. The commission said suspensions should be longer, up to one full season. Instead of show cause orders, which are meant to limit a coach’s ability to work in college sports after breaking NCAA rules, the report called for lifetime bans. The commission also said coaches and administrators should be contractually obligated comply with NCAA investigations.
