Amanda Sawyer pleaded guilty in December 2015 to the June 2015 robbery of the Tuppers Plains branch of Farmers Bank and was subsequently sentenced to nine years in prison in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Sawyer appealed the judgement against her to the Fourth District Court contending that the court erred by imposing the maximum sentence for a third-degree felony and in imposing consecutive sentences when the requisite ﬁndings were not wholly supported by the record. She also contended that she had ineffective assistance of counsel due to her attorney failing to ﬁle an afﬁdavit of indigency and a motion to waive court costs. “Upon review we ﬁnd no merit to Appellant’s (Sawyer’s) argument,” the decision authored by Judge Matthew McFarland.”We further ﬁnd Appellant’s sentence is supported by the record and is not Color Run to benefit playground project By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com RACINE — Who says running can’t be fun?

After taking money from a teller, Sawyer ﬂed the scene. It was not until July 27 that Sawyer was apprehended in connection with the case, after being stopped for not displaying a license plate. When pulled over by Deputy Michael Hupp in the area of TNT Pit Stop in Chester, Sawyer had a knife and gloves in her car, as well as they license plate and bolts to attach it in the front seat. Taken to the police department and questioned, Sawyer admitted to the bank robbery and to planning to rob the gas station. Sawyer’s appeal argument regarding the maximum sentence on the robbery charge related to the TNT Pit Stop planned robbery centered on the fact that the robbery did not take place. The prosecution argued at sentencing that Sawyer had taken the actions necessary to commit the robbery, including obtaining the gloves and the knife and removing the rear license plate and the front plate was bent up to help conceal her identity.

As such, the assignments of error are overruled and the judgement of the trial court is afﬁrmed.” Sawyer Sawyer was indicted on Aug. 21, 2015 on four felony charges, robbery, a second-degree felony; robbery, a third-degree felony; kidnapping, a second-degree felony; and robbery, a second-degree felony. The charges relate to the June 2015 bank robbery, as well as the planned robbery of the TNT Pit Stop in Chester in July 2015. Sawyer pleaded guilty to the ﬁrst count of robbery and an amended count 4, which was amended from a seconddegree felony to a third-degree felony. Judge Dean Evans, who was assigned to the case, sentenced Sawyer to the maximum allowed of nine years during a February 2016 sentencing hearing. She was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $6,529 to the bank and to pay court costs.

See SENTENCE | 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Critics say DuPont has spent too little on testing Ohio and West Virginia residents for contamination from a chemical used to make Teﬂon, while paying millions to a lawyer overseeing the testing program. The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit. ly/2oik01H ) reports DuPont spent about $860,000 on testing over a 2 ½-year period for contamination from the chemical used to make Teﬂon at its Washington Works plant, along the Ohio River. A court ﬁling this month revealed the lawyer who oversees the testing program was paid nearly $15 million. Cincinnati attorney Robert Bilott ﬁled a class-action lawsuit against DuPont alleging the company released C8-tainted water into the Ohio River. The company settled in 2004 and agreed to pay 70,000 residents to have their blood tested for C8. A science panel reported in 2012 a probable link between C8 and six diseases including kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease and pregnancy-induced high blood pressure. Out of the 99,000 “potential participants” for the blood testing program, 6,678 people have registered. Of those accepted for monitoring, about 2,000 have seen a doctor. Bilott says the company has more than enough funds to cover the program’s cost. Chemours, a DuPont associated company, now produces Teﬂon at Washington Works. The chemical C8 was replaced by a new compound called GenX in 2012. �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2 Thursday, April 20, 2017 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS BRIEFS ELLIS 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.

From page 1 the victims in the case argued for the maximum sentence, Sawyer’s attorney, Public Defender Douglas Francis argued for a four year sentence, as well as ﬁve years of community control, with judicial release possible after six months. Sawyer claimed that she committed the robbery as her husband was out of work, they were in danger of loosing their home and she needed to feed her children, a statement that is referenced in the appeals court decision. “At the outset, we are not entirely unsympathetic to Appellant’s plight as a mother of two children facing ﬁnancial hardship within the troubled economy and jobless rates of southeastern Ohio. And, we ﬁnd it highly admirable that her record does not indicate prior drug or alcohol use or abuse, or a prior criminal record,” McFarland writes. “However, the trial court stated that it considered the sentencing guidelines and apparently agreed with the State that her conduct constituted a serious form of the offense. We reject the argument that suggests that a mandatory sentence cannot be imposed for an attempt to commit a crime. By its very nature, an attempt to commit an offense means only that the offender did not accom- Reach Sarah Hawley at 740-9922155 ext. 2555 or on Twitter @ SarahHawleyNews Color From page 1 thrown on the runners are a corn starch based powder with coloring added.

The trafﬁc stop which ultimately prevented the gas station robbery occurred near the gas station, while Sawyer had the necessary items in her possession. “She had the means by which to cause serious physical and emotional harm to employees and customers at the gas station and she intended to steal from the business. The unexpected trafﬁc stop was the only intervening factor which stopped her from accomplishing her intended goal,” noted McFarland. McFarland also notes that Sawyer “enjoyed a measure of success” from the bank robbery and apparently had spent the money stolen from the bank. “While expressing remorse at sentencing, she apparently did not beforehand experience remorse to a degree that caused her to turn herself in to the authorities, return the money, or that prevented her from taking signiﬁcant steps to commit another robbery,” wrote McFarland. Judges Peter Abele and Marie Hoover concurred in judgement only with the decision and judgement authored by McFarland.

Holzer Pediatric sponsors recognized Staff Report Helicopters to maintain power line rights of way CHARLESTON — Beginning on or about June 1, Appalachian Power, a unit of American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP), will maintain the rights of way for some power lines in West Virginia by applying herbicides by helicopter. “The company generally makes aerial maintenance applications only in less populated areas where terrain and accessibility make it difﬁcult for groundbased crews to safely clear rights of way,” said John Ertz, senior utility forester. Rights of way in populated areas, as well as near parks, ponds and other sensitive areas, are maintained by other means. Customers with questions about the company’s aerial maintenance program can call a toll-free number, 1-800642-3622, for information. Customers also can write for information at AEP, Blueﬁeld District, Attn: Transmission Forestry, 2507 Washington Street, Blueﬁeld, WV 24701; or Charleston District, Attn: Transmission Forestry, P.O. Box 1986, Charleston, WV 25327. Herbicides used by AEP have been registered for use on rights of way by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the West Virginia Department of Agriculture (WVDoA), Ertz said. Herbicides to be used are glyphosate, imazapyr, metsulfuron methyl, fosamine, triclopyr, aminocyclopyrachlor and aminopyralid. Each has been extensively tested by the manufacturer, colleges and governmental and independent research laboratories. Rigid EPA and WV Department of Agriculture restrictions and regulations are carefully observed by AEP contractors in applying herbicides. All areas to be treated are visually checked by helicopter pilots in advance to verify the location of any sensitive areas and to ensure that people or domestic animals are not visible in the area to be maintained. All applications are made by contractors who are certiﬁed applicators. Questions concerning these herbicides may be addressed to the EPA and the WV Department of Agriculture. Right of way maintenance agreements between AEP and land- owners are available to landowners who prefer to accept responsibility for clearing the right of way crossing their property in lieu of aerial application of herbicides. The agreement compensates the landowner by an amount equivalent to the cost of aerial herbicide application, provided the work meets AEP’s speciﬁcations. Residents who have questions about the program or who want to alert the company to the location of sensitive areas near power lines, such as springs, wells, streams, lakes, ponds, orchards, crop areas, gardens, pastures, meadows, yearround dwellings, public recreation areas and Christmas tree plantations, should also contact the company. To prevent any misunderstanding about the location of the sensitive areas being reported, the number of the nearest pole or tower should be provided. Numbers are posted on utility poles and on one leg of utility towers. After the maintenance program begins, a 24-hour telephone service at the above number will provide information daily on locations scheduled for maintenance. Complaints about possible damage resulting from herbicide applications should be made by contacting AEP at its toll-free number or the above addresses. Complaints also may be directed to the WVDoA, Pesticide Regulatory Programs Unit, which can be reached in Charleston at 304-558-2209. Though Mason County was not listed as having lines scheduled for the maintenance, neighboring Putnam County, is, including the following locations: Culloden-Wyoming 765 kV – A transmission line on steel towers beginning at the Culloden Station off of James River Turnpike in Culloden and running south, passing the mid-points of Yawkey and Mifﬂin and ending near the intersection of Rt. 119/17 in Sharples.

(AP) — CSX Corp.’s ﬁrst-quarter proﬁt rose about 2 percent as the railroad hauled more, but its results were hurt by restructuring expenses. The Jacksonville, Floridabased railroad said Wednesday that it earned $362 million, or 39 cents per share. That’s up from $356 million, or 37 cents per share, a year ago. The railroad said that without the $173 million restructuring charge it would have delivered earnings per share of 51 cents. The analysts surveyed by FactSet expected CSX to report adjusted earnings per share of 43 cents. CSX said its revenue improved 10 percent to $2.87 billion. Analysts expected $2.76 billion. CSX announced 1,000 layoffs of management employees in February, and the railroad is in the early stages of major operational changes after hiring CEO Hunter Harrison, who led Canadian Paciﬁc’s turnaround. Harrison was hired in March after the Mantle Ridge hedge fund pressured the railroad to make changes. Harrison has a track record of reducing costs and boosting proﬁts through the scheduled operating model he developed at CP and Canadian National. “I am pleased to join the CSX team and working together we are going to make this company the best North American railroad, capable of consistently meeting and exceeding the expectations of our customers and our shareholders,” Harrison said in a statement with Wednesday’s earnings report. CSX operates more than 21,000 miles of track in 23 Eastern states and two Canadian provinces. CSX shares have risen 31 percent since the beginning of the year when it was ﬁrst reported that Harrison might take over as CEO. During the same period, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has climbed slightly more than 4 percent. The company’s stock rose $1.42, or 3 percent, to $48.35 in after-hours trading following the release of the earnings report.

AP Business Writer �E ditorial 4 Thursday, April 20, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Bernie Sanders moves into leadership vacuum By Carl P. Leubsdorf Contributing columnist The 2016 presidential nominating race was barely over, and already Bernie Sanders was looking ahead. Days before the Democratic National Convention formally nominated Hillary Clinton, the Vermont senator transformed his 2016 campaign organization into Our Revolution to promote his progressive proposals, back like-minded candidates and, in essence, take over the Democratic Party. “We have begun a political revolution to transform America, and that revolution, our revolution, continues,” Sanders told the convention, endorsing Clinton but making clear his quest to remake the Democratic Party would continue, regardless of the outcome. Nine months later, he is well on his way to succeeding. Though his choice for party chairman narrowly lost, Sanders has moved into the leadership vacuum after Clinton’s defeat to emerge as a leading national voice against President Donald Trump. This week, the party chair he opposed, former Labor Secretary Tom Perez, is joining with the Vermont senator on a second “come together and ﬁght back” tour of “red” and “purple” states. It includes a stop Thursday in Grand Prairie, where Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, the deputy chairman and a Sanders ally, will represent Perez. The goal, Sanders said Sunday on CNN, is to “see that the Democratic party becomes a 50-state party, a bottom up grass roots party that is prepared to stand up to the big money interests.” The tour, similar to one last month, illustrates the degree to which the party’s national leadership is latching onto his economic message. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, among others, have joined Sanders in rallies on issues from health care to immigration. Meanwhile, in state after state, the Sanders forces are moving either to take over the existing party machinery or to set up their own state or even county organizations, Details are a bit hazy since Our Revolution was created as a non proﬁt social welfare organization, exempt from federal disclosure rules for political action committees. It’s also been playing an active role in the post2016 electoral landscape. The Democrat who ran an unexpectedly close race in last week’s Kansas special congressional election was a Sanders backer, as is Rob Quist, seeking Montana’s lone House seat May 25. In perhaps the biggest test for Sanders’ continuing clout, he is supporting Tom Perriello, the former congressman who is challenging Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam for the Democratic nomination for governor of Virginia. A Perriello victory in the June 13 primary — and November’s general election — would be a major boost for the Sanders wing and a setback for outgoing Gov. Terry McAuliffe, one of the leaders of the party establishment that backed Clinton last year. All of this means the political machine being created by the Independent Vermont senator (still not a registered Democrat) could become a strong underpinning if he decides, at age 78, to undertake a second presidential bid in 2020. Sanders himself says it’s too early to speculate about that. But an announcement this week disclosed he’ll appear in July at the Citizens for Community Improvement’s “action convention” in Iowa, the ﬁrst caucus state. He is not the only Democrat getting into position to challenge an expected Trump re-election bid. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has made repeated visits to Iowa, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has reportedly been lining up Clinton money people, and former Vice President Joe Biden will address a New Hampshire Democratic dinner next week. And even if Sanders doesn’t run, his organization could be an enormous asset to whomever he backed, especially if Trump’s unpopularity continues and inspires a large Democratic ﬁeld. The senator’s growing inﬂuence extends beyond the structural aspects of politics to support for his ideas. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently won approval of a higher education plan similar to the proposal Sanders proposed and Clinton endorsed. It provides free tuition at community and public colleges for fulltime students with family annual incomes up to $125,000, provided they agree to stay and work in the state afterwards. And even some conservative columnists have suggested Trump’s inability to win approval of legislation to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act will lead inevitably to a single payer plan similar to Sanders’ proposal to expand Medicare for all Americans, regardless of age. “A broad national consensus is developing that health care is indeed a right,” Charles Krauthammer wrote last month in The Washington Post, adding that, “As Obamacare continues to unravel, it won’t take much for Democrats to abandon that Rube Goldberg wreckage and go for the simplicity and the universality of Medicare-for-all.” Bernie Sanders may have lost in 2016, but he’s more of a factor for the Democratic Party now than the winner has been.

Hunt Contributing columnist All the elements of a debacle will be in place next week when congressional authorization expires for ﬁnancing the U.S. government. Lawmakers, on recess now, will have only four days to iron out a deal. Right-wing Republicans see a chance to enact abortion curbs and antiimmigrant measures that opponents won’t countenance. Democrats are in no mood to offer concessions. And the administration of President Donald Trump has trouble getting its act together. Sound like a government shutdown in the making? It’s very unlikely. Funding for the government will expire on April 28 without congressional action. The odds are that there will be a one- or two-week extension, with the battle joined and probably resolved by mid-May. Trump’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney, has insisted that a spending bill for the upcoming year must include money for the Trump’s proposed wall along the Mexican border, and must cut off funds to cities that don’t cooperate with Washington in cracking down on undocumented workers. These measures, or big cuts in current spending, won’t ﬂy with Democrats. That means they’re likely to be dropped, as it is not in the political interest of Trump or Republican congressional leaders to provoke a crisis. That goes double after the collapse of their health-care plan last month. “With a Republican House, Republican Senate and Republican administration, we don’t want to stumble into a shutdown,” said Representative Tom Cole, a senior Oklahoma Republican who is close to the House leadership. That doesn’t mean that deliberations will go smoothly next week. Congressional appropriators have been working in a relatively bipartisan way to fashion a spending plan that can win majority support, but little of their handiwork has been taken to the rank-and-ﬁle of either party. The far-right House Republican freedom caucus of about three-dozen members, emboldened by their success in killing the Obamacare replacement bill advocated by Trump and the party leadership, won’t settle easily. Lacking their support, House Speaker Paul Ryan may be forced to cut a deal with Democrats, something House leaders have been loath to do. In the Senate, Democrats have to be included in any funding agreement. That’s because ﬁlibuster rules mean that most spending legislation can’t pass without 60 votes. There are 52 Republican senators. Democrats may try to bargain for preserving the insurance subsidies for low-income people that are provided by Obamacare. Trump has threatened to use this as leverage to force Democrats to agree to other Republican health-care proposals. The mere threat of cutting off these funds, some industry experts say, could wreak havoc on health-insur- ance markets. Because Trump probably is blufﬁng, some accord is likely on this matter. There already are a few bipartisan deals in the works: a little more money for the National Institutes of Health, and more pension and health-care funding for retired miners espoused by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and West Virginia’sJoe Manchin, an embattled Democrat up for re-election next year. There even could be a sop to Trump, with money directed at the Department of Homeland Security but not earmarked for a border wall. The April 28 cutoff date was set in December by Republicans once they knew they would control the government in 2017. At the time, they thought the Trump administration would need just 100 days to reorder government priorities. It didn’t work out that way. So now they just want to get past it. Albert R.

Today’s Highlights in History: On April 20, 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Wooley v. Maynard, ruled 6-3 that car owners could refuse to display state mottoes on license plates, such as New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die.” The Woody Allen comedy “Annie Hall,” co-starring Diane Keaton in the title role, went into general release. On this date: In 1792, France declared war on Austria, marking the start of the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1861, Col. Robert E. Lee resigned his commission in the United States Army. (Lee went on to command the Army of Northern Virginia, and eventually became general-in-chief of the Confederate forces.) In 1889, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria. In 1912, Boston’s Fenway Park hosted its ﬁrst professional baseball game while Navin Field (Tiger Stadium) opened in Detroit. (The Red Sox defeated the New York Highlanders 7-6 in 11 innings; the Tigers beat the Cleveland Naps 6-5 in 11 innings.) In 1914, the Ludlow Massacre took place when the Colorado National Guard opened ﬁre on a tent colony of striking miners; about 20 (accounts vary) strikers, women and children died. In 1916, the Chicago Cubs played their ﬁrst game at Wrigley Field (then known as Weeghman Park); the Cubs defeated the Cincinnati Reds 7-6. In 1947, Denmark’s King Christian X, a popular symbol of resistance to German occupation THOUGHT FOR TODAY “If anyone tells you something strange about the world, something you had never heard before, do not laugh but listen attentively; make him repeat it, make him explain it; no doubt there is something there worth taking hold of.” — Georges Duhamel, French author (1884-1966) during World War II, died at age 76, ending a reign of 35 years. In 1968, Pierre Elliott Trudeau was sworn in as prime minister of Canada. In 1972, Apollo 16’s lunar module, carrying astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke Jr., landed on the moon. In 1987, the United States deported Karl Linnas to the Soviet Union, where he had been convicted in absentia of Nazi war crimes and faced a death sentence. (Linnas, who maintained his innocence, died of heart disease in Leningrad the following July.) In 1999, the Columbine High School massacre took place in Colorado as two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot and killed 12 classmates and one teacher before taking their own lives. In 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, leased by BP, killed 11 workers and caused a blow-out that began spewing an estimated 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico. (The well was ﬁnally capped nearly three months later, on July 15.) �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Thursday, April 20, 2017 5 MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS MEIGS CHURCH CALENDAR Editor’s Note: The Daily Sentinel appreciates your input to the community calendar.

WHS followed in the night cap by building a 10-run edge before taking a 10-2 lead through three complete, then the Red and White tacked on eight unanswered runs in the ﬁnal two frames while wrapping up the 16-run triumph.

That’s because the River Valley High softball squad, taking advantage of numerous walks or hit batsmen by South Gallia pitching on Tuesday, captured a 15-0 shutout victory over the host nonleague Rebels. The Lady Raiders recorded seven runs in the opening inning, and six more in the second, before ﬁnally tacking on two more markers in the third. Meanwhile, four River Valley pitchers combined for a no-hitter — as the Lady Rebels’ ﬁve baserunners were on a pair of walks, two errors and a hit batter. South Gallia, against Raider reliever Sam Burris in the ﬁfth inning, did load the bases —as Destiny Johnson reached on an error, Irene Santos was hit by a pitch, and Olivia Hornsby walked. But Burris induced a groundout to end the game. Johnson reached on an error to lead off the third — before Nanako Yoshino Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Point Pleasant junior Kelsey Price hammers out a hit during an April 5 contest against Sissonville in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Yoshino advanced to second and Johnson to third, but River Valley’s third-frame thrower Sydney Little induced a groundout right back to her to end the threat. With the win, the Lady Raiders snapped a threegame losing streak — and improved to 4-8. The Lady Rebels, conversely, remain winless in a dozen tries. The contest was called following the ﬁfth inning with the 10-run mercy rule. Arika Barr pitched the opening two innings for River Valley, and retired all six Rebels she faced with three consecutive strikeouts. Little pitched the third and struck out two, while Tyler George pitched a 1-2-3 fourth with two Ks. Six Rebels went to the plate in the ﬁfth, as Burris whiffed a pair. Because of the numerous walks, hit batsmen and errors by South Gallia, River Valley only amounted three hits. Kasey Birchﬁeld had a two-run single in the ﬁrst inning, as Barr doubled on the next at-bat to drive in two more runs. Little, with a two-run single in the fourth, was the only other Lady Raider with a baseknock. River Valley returns to the road, and returns to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division action, on Thursday at Alexander. The Lady Rebels return home, and return to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division play, on Friday with Wahama.

Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Unbeaten no more. The Point Pleasant softball team handed Akron Ellet its ﬁrst loss of the season while picking up its second straight mercy-rule decision in the Palmetto State on Tuesday following a 12-1 victory in a six-inning contest in Horry County. The Lady Knights (15-4) served as the visiting team on the scoreboard, and the guests went to work early often while establishing a 10-0 advantage through three innings of play. The Lady Orangemen (6-1) answered with a run in the home half of the fourth to avoid an earlier mercy-rule as the score remained 10-1 through ﬁve complete. PPHS, however, plated two runs in the top of the sixth for a 12-1 edge, then worked out of a two-out bases-loaded jam to wrap up the 11-run triumph. The Lady Knights — who have now won three straight and ﬁve of their last six outcomes — plated two runs in the ﬁrst as Kelsey Byus tripled home Michaela Cottrill and later scored on a Leah Cochran single for a 2-0 edge. Cammy Hesson doubled home both Kelsey Price and Victoria Allensworth in the second for a 4-0 lead, then the guests erupted for six runs in the third while securing a 10-0 advantage. Price delivered a bases-loaded double that resulted in three runs for a 7-0 cushion, then Hesson singled home both Price and Peyton Jordan for a nine-run lead. Cottrill followed by singling home Jordan to give PPHS double digits in the scoring column. Ellet came up with its lone run in the fourth as Lexi Schultz reached base after being hit by a pitch, then advanced to second on a single by Sydney Mantell. Schultz reached third on a passed ball and later scored on an error for a 10-1 contest through four full frames. After a scoreless ﬁfth, Karson Bonecutter and Lila Beattie each provided RBI singles with two outs in the sixth — allowing the Red and Black to complete the scoring. The Lady Knights outhit the hosts by a 15-4 overall margin and both teams committed an error apiece in the contest. PPHS stranded eight runners on base, while Ellet left seven on the bags. Leah Cochran was the winning pitcher of record after allowing an unearned run, four hits and two walks over six innings while striking out nine. Maddie Anderson took the loss after surrendering 10 earned runs, 12 hits and three walks over three frames while fanning three. Hesson led PPHS with four hits, followed by Byus, Cochran and Price with two safeties apiece. Cottrill, Allensworth, Bonecutter, Jordan and Beattie also had a hit each for the victors. Both Hesson and Price knocked in three RBIs apiece. Price also scored three runs and both Allensworth and Megan Hammond crossed home plate twice. Cottrill, Byus, Jordan, Hannah Smith and Rachel Grimm also scored a run each for PPHS. Mantell paced Ellet with two hits, followed by Mackenzie Leonard and Samantha Wolfe with a safety apiece. Shultz accounted for the Lady Orangemen’s lone run scored. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

Browns CB Haden wants Garrett with No. 1 pick BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Joe Haden has watched the tape and arrived at an easy decision: Myles Garrett. Cleveland’s front ofﬁce may still be weighing its options with the No. 1 overall pick in next week’s NFL draft, but Haden has made up his mind and wants Texas A&M’s Garrett, a 6-foot-4, 272-pound freight train in shoulder pads. “I would be super-excited if they took this guy Myles Garrett,” said the star cornerback. Haden didn’t need much prompting to blurt out Garrett’s name, and he didn’t hold back while urging the Browns, coming off a 1-15 season, to snag the defensive standout considered the cream of the crop in a defense-rich draft. Haden’s job description doesn’t include talent evaluator, but if he was putting together a mock draft, Garrett would be his ﬁrst — and only — choice. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
