April M. Ritchhart, 39, was indicted on Wednesday by a Meigs County grand jury on three felony and 12 misdemeanor charges according to an indictment filed on Thursday.

Russell E. Starcher, 57, or Pomeroy Pike, Pomeroy, was indicted Friday, June 16, 2017 s 50¢ Public defender contract renewed Commissioners hear presentation on proposed marijuana grow site By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners heard an update during Thursday’s regular meeting regarding the status of the contract with the State Public Defender’s Office which is set to expire at the end of the month. Steve Jagers with Meigs County Common Pleas Court updated commissioners Tim Ihle and Randy Smith on the plan of the court to provide representation for the county’s indigent defendants. Currently the court contracts with the Public Defender’s Office out of Athens to represent a portion of the defendants, while other local attorneys are appointed for the remaining cases. The new plan would take effect at the end of the contract with the Public Defender’s Office which expires on June 30. The public defender contract called for the office to send one attorney to Meigs County one day per week, with the Common Pleas Indigent Budget of $75,000 picking up the remaining cost. Under the new plan, there would be four attorneys per week to handle all of the cases. Numbers presented by Jagers indicate that moving away from the contract with the Public Defender’s Office could save approximately $72,696 annually. Commissioner Tim Ihle stated that the contract renewal which had been presented by the Public Defender’s Office called for an approximately 40 percent increase from the previous year. Per the numbers provided by Jagers, for a total of 180 common pleas cases per year (an average number), the average attorney cost per case if $583. That would be a cost of $104,940. Jagers asked that an additional $20,000 be budgeted in the event that there are additional cases and therefore attorneys needed. In addition, there is a $36,000 per year contract with attorney Charles Knight for representation of indigent individuals in county court and probate/juvenile court. Jagers estimated that if individual attorneys were appointed to the cases in the courts See CONTRACT | 2 on Wednesday by a Meigs County grand jury on the firstdegree felony charge of attempted murder and the second-degree felony charge of felonious assault.

The statement from ODOT reads, In 2015 the Village of Syracuse applied for and was awarded funds from the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program for construction of a second phase of the Syracuse Walkway. As the Department has worked with village officials, consulting parties and residents on the development of this proj- ect, it has become clear that the community is deeply divided. The divisions are deep enough to have damaged the ability to have open and transparent communications between the project’s sponsor and interested parties. The Department is rescinding the Transportation Alternatives Program funding awarded to this project. The Department will no longer carry forward any further project development activities and the project will be put in closed status. ODOT District 10 spokesperson Ashley Rittenhouse told the Sentinel that letters were mailed out this week to village officials notifying them of the decision.

The longest single item, in terms of time, was an amicable petition for additional parking be opened near Mill Street to recover spaces lost from the ATM installation. Council voted in their previous meeting to restrict parking exit- ing the ATM on safety grounds. “I understand the safety concerns,” said a concerned business owner, but asked if other street sections could be opened to parking, citing several suggestions. Council, along with the Public Works department, promised to examine the area for solutions, with conversation indicating several places were likely acceptable. Speaking on behalf of the Public Works department, Jeff Darst asked whether the village’s temporary workers, such as people working for the municipality to repay fines or public assistance, were subject to drug testing as part of their employment. Darst expressed concerns, which were supported by Assistant Police Chief Mony Wood, that many workers may be abusing drugs on the job. “They’re working alongside power tools, machinery, it’s not safe,” said Darst, noting the danger to both the temporary workers and any nearby Public Works employees. Council members, including Doug Dixon, also expressed concern the village incurred substantial liability risk if the allegations were accurate. Ensuing discussion noted laws regarding drug testing, as well as conditional employment, were not straight forward.

The village received three bids for the sewer separation/mine runoff contract, a large infrastructure project to halt the flow of abandoned mine water runoff leeching onto downtown city streets.

Finally, council voted to cancel the July 10 council meeting due to Fiscal Officer Sue Baker’s scheduled absence. “Our Fiscal Officer is critical to running the meeting, so I believe we should cancel it,” motioned Heighton. The next regularly scheduled meeting of Middleport Village Council is June 26 at 7 p.m. in the Middleport Municipal Building. Counts Aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor, alleges that Ritchhart knowingly caused the victim (daycare owner) to believe that she would cause serious physical harm to the person or property of the victim, or a member of the victim’s family. Criminal trespass, a fourth-degree misdemeanor, alleges that Ritchhart, without permission or privilege, entered or remained on the land or premises of another person. Unlawful restraint, a thirddegree misdemeanor, alleges that Ritchhart restrained an officer or the person’s liberty. Resisting arrest is a second-degree misdemeanor. It is alleged that Ritchhart did recklessly or by force interfered with her arrest. Obstructing official business, a second-degree misdemeanor, relates to the alleged acts of Ritchhart to delay or hamper the duties of a public official. Possession of drugs, as charged, is a first-degree misdemeanor. Ritchhart was allegedly found to be in possession of two strips of Suboxone, a Schedule III controlled substance. Public indecency is a fourth-degree misdemeanor. Ritchhart is alleged to have exposed her “private parts” under a circumstance when the person’s conduct was likely to be viewed by others in close proximity. The charges in this case are in addition to a felonious assault case filed by Ritchhart previously in relation to an April incident. The charge stems from an April 12 incident in which she was alleged to have rammed a vehicle in which two adults and two children were riding. Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley told the Sentinel, at the time of the arraignment, that during the incident Ritchhart allegedly believed her children were in the trunk of the vehicle and she reportedly rammed it in order to get the vehicle to stop. There were no children in the trunk, Stanley stated. An arraignment date for Ritchhart has not been set. She has been held on a $200,000 bond since being arraigned on the felonious assault charge on June 5. Revival RUTLAND — A revival will be held at Rose of Sharon Holiness Church from June 13-18. Rev.

The initial call to law enforcement came in from the Holzer Meigs ER, reporting that an individual had arrived Parking BUTLER Daily Sentinel From page 1 to have attempted to abduct children at the daycare who were not her children. Ritchhart is charged with two counts of abduction, one count of assault of a peace officer, one count of criminal child enticement, one count of making false alarms, two counts of inducing panic, one count of aggravated menacing,one count of falsification, one count of criminal trespass, one count of unlawful restraint, one count of resisting arrest, one count of obstructing official business, one count of possession of drugs, and one count of public indecency. Abduction as charges is a third degree felony. The charges state that Ritchhart is alleged to have restrained the liberty of the two minor victims using force or threat, under circumstances that created a risk of physical harm to the victim or placed them in fear. Assault of a peace officer is a fourth-degree felony. According to the indictment, Ritchhart is alleged to The cost of the public defender contract renewal as presented (after reimbursement) would have been $94,260. This is a savings of $72,696 annually under the new plan. The Public Defender’s Office has been notified as the change, stated Jagers, and will be finishing up any cases which they have been appointed to cover. In other business, the commissioners heard from John Haseley who answered questions regarding the application to be filed by Ohio Therapeutics LLC for a possible marijuana grow facility in the have knowingly caused or attempted to cause physical harm to a Meigs County Sheriff’s Deputy. Criminal child enticement is a first-degree misdemeanor. Ritchhart is alleged to have attempted to coax, entice or lure a child under the age of 14 to accompany her in any manner without permission of the parent or guardian of the child. The charge of making false alarms is a first-degree misdemeanor. Ritchhart is alleged to have initiated or circulated a report or warning of a crime knowing that the warning was false and likely to cause public inconvenience or alarm. Likewise, the first-degree misdemeanor charge of falsification deals with allegedly making a false statement, but with the statement made with the purpose of incriminating another person. Inducing panic as charged in both counts is a firstdegree misdemeanor. The charge states that Ritchhart allegedly caused “serious public inconvenience or alarm” by threatening to commit a crime or offense of violence. Racine area. Haseley stated that Racine Village Council and the Sutton Twp. Trustees have each unanimously approved a resolution in support of the application, with the commissioners asked to consider the same. Smith stated that the commissioners would like to table the consideration of the resolution until next week’s regular meeting, in favor of having all three commissioners present for the action. Commissioner Mike Bartrum was absent from Thursday’s meeting for a previously scheduled trip. Haseley stated that the application is to be filed on June 27. Letters of support from local entities, as well as the economic impact to the area could be two positives for the application stated Haseley. The proposed facility would initially be 25,000 square feet, with expansion to 75,000 square feet at its maximum size. As the facility grows, so would the number of employees, beginning with around 30 and going up to a potential of 100. The hourly rate of pay for full-time positions would be approximately $15 per hours, with a few management positions at a higher pay rate. Smith expressed concern with whether the presence of medical marijuana would lead to the legalization of recreational use, while agreeing that there is a valid medical component to it. Haseley stated that the legislation passed by the state is some of the most restrictive and highly regulated in order to ensure that that door is not opened to recreational use. The medical use marijuana is not allowed to be smoked, but as a topical or ingested. The resolution of support is expected to be voted on during Thursday’s regular meeting at 11 a.m. �CHURCH/LOCAL Daily Sentinel Cases From page 1 be brought before a judge for a bond hearing and have a pre-trial conference scheduled, you may turn yourself into the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office.

Friday, June 16, 2017 3 The Carriers to perform June 25 TUPPERS PLAINS — The Carriers will be singing at the Amazing Grace Community Church in Tuppers Plains, Ohio (across from the Tuppers Plains Fire Department) on Sunday, June 25, at 10 a.m. Poised with the task of sharing the Gospel through the ministry of song, The Carriers were formed in 1969. During much of the 1970’s and 80’s the group traveled the east coast, playing hundreds of engagements each year from Maine to Florida. Six decades later, the realization of The Carriers’ ambition continues. Although the group has gone through a number of changes, their message has remained the same: sharing the good news through the universal medium of music. The group is a joy to listen to, exciting to watch, entertaining, yet serious about the message of Christ. David jokingly claims the group was formed “because we wanted to sing, and no one else would sing with us.” There’s been no shortage of great talent on the stage over the years. David’s talent is undeni- Path From page 1 This means that the officials would not have known about the decision at the time of last Thursday’s council meeting in which they approved an alternative design plan which kept the walking path away from the historic Amberger house. Placing the path in front of the residence had been objected to by the State Historical Preservation Office. “Council realizes this change of location is not in the best interests of all residents, but it is necessary due to the objections of the State Historical Preservation Office in order to complete the project in a timely manner and provide a much-needed walking route from the corporation limit to various activities within the village for the many elderly and handicapped individuals in that area along with the many younger people who need safe routes to the park,” stated a news release on the action by council last week. At the time of the council meeting, Mayor Eric Cuningham stated that issues raised in a May 2 letter from ODOT to the village were addressed at a May 23 meeting with ODOT administrator Alan Craig. The residents in attendance at the council meeting interpreted the ODOT letter to be a prohibition on any further construction, based on the letter’s wording of “Option 3 is to choose no-build and to not move forward with the project as currently envisioned.” The mayor was adamant Phase 2 of the walking path would continue. Council moved ahead with approval of the modified project, understanding that funding was in place for the project. In a copy of the May 2 letter obtained by the Sentinel, which was addressed to Mayor Eric Cunningham, now-retired District 10 Deputy Director Steve Williams states in part, After extensive discussions with ODOT, the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) is not willing to agree that construction of the walkway in close proximity to the Amberger house will not adversely affect the historic property despite the incorporation of porous grass surface with pavers. SHPO’s conclusion is largely based on the level of public controversy with this project. Courtesy photo Kristi Hadfield, Jan Kelly, David Kelly, and Denver Adams. able. Hitting the low notes with the greatest of ease, he can hold his own among the best bass singers in gospel music today. He has also written many of the songs the group sings. David is joined on stage by Denver Adams, Kristi Hadfield, and Jan Kelly. Denver has been a lifelong member of the group. When it comes to singing baritone, he is one of the best in the business, demonstrating not only a smooth solo voice, but blending expertly with the other members of the quartet in impeccable harmony. Kristi is the newest member of the group. She was originally with The Carriers in 1933-1934. She has an amazing voice, a contagious smile and a no nonsense passion for serving the Lord. The Carriers are blessed to have her return and eager for our audience to get to know her. David’s wife, Jan, rounds out the quartet, as she lends her rich alto voice to the blend. An accomplished and talented vocalist, the warmth of her voice, her stage presence, and her personality endear her to audiences everywhere, as she communicates the message of Christ in a loving and sincere way. The latter further states that should the plans for the project move forward with public hearing and further discussion, as well as coordination with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in Washington DC, it would require additional time and funding. To date, ODOT has spent over $102,000 on preliminary development and as an agency, we cannot justify additional time or costs at this time. I realize the Village of Syracuse has spent considerable funds for design also. The level of public controversy on the project is considerable and if the Village of Syracuse wishes to move forward with this project, considerable efforts will need to be made to address/ resolve the public concerns. ODOT outlined three possible options for the project moving forward. First option is for the village to reach out to residents and work with them to minimize controversy and basically find ways to address their concerns. Then, ODOT could re-coordinate with the consulting parties and SHPO and the cost of the project development could diminish. Option 2 would involve moving ahead with the work as identified in paragraph one of this letter. Under that option, the village would need to identify funds to hire a consultant to conduct the necessary public involvement and additional documentation to move forward. Option 3 is to choose no-build and to not move forward with the project as currently envisioned. We appreciate the hard work that the village has put into this project to date, however, the level of public controversy associated with this project will be hard to overcome. With the funding from ODOT no longer available the project will not be able to proceed as planned. Press release submitted by the Amazing Grace Community Church in Tuppers Plains.

Then Jesus knelt to the ground and began to scratch letters into the dust of the ground. What was He writing? Abihu waited, his anger and impatience growing, like a floodwater rising inside him. He turned his head, trying to look as if he weren’t interested, and finally could make out the words. “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit” (Psalm 32:1-2 ESV). Abihu felt the sting of those words almost as fiercely as if he had been flailed. “Who does He think He is?” he thought. “Well-l-l-l?” he finally retorted, ignoring the writing in the dust. Others began to murmur. “Yes,” said one especially loud. “What DO you say?” Soon at least a dozen voices began to prod him with variations of the same question. Jesus stood up and the murmuring was silenced as His deep eyes looked at them. “If any one of you is without sin,” He said, “let him be the first to throw a stone at her” (from John 8:7). He then bent down again and resumed writing in the dust. Rahab gasped and clenched her eyes tightly, her heart pounding in her chest. But no stones came. She heard a dull thud and dared to look up. An old man had dropped a stone and was quietly slipping away. There was another thud as another stone hit the ground. Another accuser was gone. One by one the stones fell from their fingers and one by one they each left silently until only Achan and Ahiju were left. Achan glanced at Rahab’s face, but See GRACE | 5 GOD’S KIDS KORNER tion is found in the profound exhortation, “Husbands, love your wives.” And, we are supposed to love our wives “…even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it.” Now, if that does not spell out a grave responsibility given to us churchmen in particular, I do not know what does. And, to deepen the concern, “so ought men to love their wives as their own body.” This is followed with the responsibility to “cherish” our wives, which means that we are supposed to “esteem them as a PRIORITY.” We may try to place the blame of diminished marital fellowship on the wife, others, or other factors. But, the truth be known from Scripture, it is a man’s foremost responsibility to keep that wife prioritized in all that we do. Perhaps, if we churchmen loved our wives to the extent God expects, the experience of peace and happiness would prevail in our lives and in their lives more often. Can we churchmen do better on this point? Finally, we churchmen should consider the spiritual and emotional needs of our children. “Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, lest they be discouraged.” When we love our children and pay them timely attention, we avoid discouraging conditions. Can we churchmen do better as it involves our kids? Prayerfully, our families will make us feel like a million bucks on Father’s Day. But, it might do us all good if we ask our Heavenly Father, “Can I do better?” The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

It’s no wonder David says, “…I have all that I need” (Psalm 23:1 NLT). If God has provided everything I need to follow Jesus, there shouldn’t be anything else I want, right? Well, let’s take a look at another translation: “…I shall not want” (KJV). I don’t know about you, but I want many things. A Jeep Renegade. Martin guitar. M&M Blizzard. So there’s a big difference between what I need and what I want—sure, See TEEN | 5 �CHURCH/WEATHER Daily Sentinel From page 4 bad. Jesus, during His earthly ministry, had several run-ins with the scribes and Pharisees over matters of Jewish tradition. There was, for example, the matter of his disciples not washing their hands before eating. This was a tradition among some Jews, and so they questioned Jesus, ““Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” (Matthew 15:2) Mother’s everywhere will be happy to know that Jesus Teen From page 4 when it comes to materialistic desires.

Yet Psalm 23:1 tells me “…I shall not want” (KJV), for “…I have all that I need” (NLT). Although God doesn’t always give us what we want, He always provides us did not say there was anything wrong with washing hands before eating. Though He did point out that it was possible for traditions to lead you away from God. (cf. Matthew 15:3-9) Elsewhere there are some traditions that are spoken of in a more positive light in the Bible. One could describe them was necessary traditions. Writing to the Corinthian church, the apostle Paul praised them, saying, “Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.” (1 Corinthians 15:2; ESV) In a similar fashion, he wrote to the Thessalonian church, “So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.” (2 Thessalonians 2:15; ESV) The “traditions” Paul speaks of to the Thessalonians were not concerning any holidays, or such; but rather they were “traditions” of Christian living. Likewise, with the Corinthian church, Paul is alluding to those Christian practices of worship and lifestyle which was proper for saint of the Lord to maintain. It is worth noting that these were not traditions either group had grown up with. In both cases, Paul was writing to a majority Gentile congregation, which had not grown up knowing God’s word. And Paul is clear in saying that these were traditions that he had taught them in the course of his preaching and teaching. They were new traditions for these individuals, but they were good traditions to have. Which leads us to this point: we can make new traditions. Individuals make new traditions all the time. When a couple gets married, they take a few traditions from one family, a few from another, add in a few of their own ideas, and start a whole new set of traditions. Something similar happens in Christianity. The Bible tells us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 15:7; ESV) When we come to Christ, we have the opportunity to create a new way of life for ourselves. New traditions of behavior. We all have habits and practices that are not good for us. God teaches us a better way in His word. We don’t have to keep doing the same things over and over again, just because it is the way that we have always done things. If we have a tradition of drunkenness or drugs, God points us to a new tradition of sobriety. If we have a tradition of telling lies, God teaches a new tradition of honesty. These things God teaches us to do should become so “traditional” with us, so “habitual,” that we do them as second nature. And certainly, once we have such good habits, we should heed the words of the scripture and “hold to the traditions” God has taught us. Not doing so would be a sin. If you would like to learn more about those same traditions and teachings Paul was speaking of, the church of Christ invites you to study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. Likewise, if you have any questions, please share them with us through our website chapelhillchurchofchrist.org. what we need to build His kingdom in our own unique ways. We must learn to be content with whatever God has placed in our hands, as well as the platforms He has called us to embrace. I’m not gifted at mechanics. My hands don’t work well with a hammer. Please don’t ask me to paint on a canvass, fix dinner, or usher. I’m not made to accomplish those things, so I lack the resources I need to complete them. But sometimes, I can force it. Last week, I told you why I’m writing about “re—” words. I need to come back to Jesus and be closer to Him again. Why? One reason is because I forced things for way too long. My friend and I worked together on a chemistry lab several weeks ago. Because I’m not wired for scientific endeavors, it was an extra difficult task. But sometimes—more often than not—you must do things you don’t want to do! So, yeah, I expected to put forth more effort than normal. That’s only fair. But trying your best and forcing an identity are two totally different things. As time passes, my friend begins to notice my forced efforts. I act out of character. I worry about trying hard enough. But my friend— although worried—isn’t acting as crazy as I am. Why? Although he tries really hard, he doesn’t force it. After all, he’s made for this. It comes more natural. I bet that’s why Jesus says, “…Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly” (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG). God didn’t make you to force an identity. This week’s word is reidentify. In order to come closer to Jesus again, we must know both who we are and who we’re not. Not only has Jesus— our Shepherd—given us everything we need to be ourselves, He has reconciled humanity back to God. Check it out: “Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy” (1 Peter 2:10). Therefore, my identity is found in Jesus. The better I know my Savior, the better I know myself. I matter. I have everything that I need. How? Just Jesus. The same is true for you, so don’t force it. Judge who had judged her judges? “Woman, where are they?” He asked as if in answer to her thoughts. “Has no one condemned you?” “No one, Sir,” she quietly replied. “Then neither do I condemn you,” He declared, a righteous warmth glowing from His face. “Go now and leave your life of sin” (from John 8:10-11). He looked at her knowingly for a moment as she stood blinking in her astonishment. He then turned and quietly walked away. Rahab also turned and made her way back home, nearly stupefied over what had just happened. She had met something in Jesus she had never known before… something called grace. It was like she had been in a vast bog into which she had willfully wandered, the stench of which was overpowering. Instead of being allowed to just sink into its mire, to be lost forever, a strong hand had pulled her up and out and set her feet on a good path lined with fragrant flowers. This path, she knew, led not to disappointment but to complete joy and peace because it led to God Himself. She realized that she had been given a new life. There was no doubt in her mind or in her heart: Jesus had truly been sent by God to pull people out of the mire of their sin. He Himself had chosen to not accuse her but to give her another opportunity to know God and be given a second chance. She smiled Grace mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladFrom page 4 ness, that my glory may sing Your praise and not be then he too dropped his silent.

How do you lead a team when you’re not yet sure what to do? “You get in the huddle and there are guys that are 10 years older than you,” Dalton said. “It’s just a different time. Obviously I’m not the same kind of leader now that I was then, but I feel like I did all right that first year.” It’s totally different as Dalton enters his seventh season. Instead of the deer-in-theheadlights look that others noticed that first year, Dalton exudes a veteran’s confidence. And he’s no longer trying to figure out how he fits in the big picture. The Bengals are Dalton’s team now, and everyone knows it. “He takes the bull by the horns,” coach Marvin Lewis said during the team’s mandatory minicamp this week. “That’s important. He knows that he’s got to be the leader of the football team. He didn’t need to do that early on because we needed him to focus on being quarterback and to focus on doing his job.” He’s assuming even more of the leadership responsibility this season. The Bengals had several veteran leaders in the locker room the last few years. Left tackle Andrew Whitworth and defensive tackle Domata Peko arranged and directed the veterans’ workouts during the NFL’s 2011 lockout. Linebacker Rey Maualuga was a co-captain, along with Dalton. All three are gone this year, leaving Dalton as one of the team’s longest-tenured players. “It may require a little more of me, but I think of other guys, too, kind of stepping up See DALTON | 7 6 Blue Devils named all-OVC baseball Paul Boggs/OVP Sports Gallia Academy’s Brody Thomas captured all-Ohio Valley Conference baseball honors. By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio —Truth be told, these Blue Devils did one last job with their proverbial shovel. That being they cleaned up quite well with the all-Ohio Valley Conference baseball awards. That’s because a half-dozen Devils were named all-conference this past season, as Gallia Academy captured a share of the OVC baseball championship. After an outright title in their initial OVC campaign, the Blue Devils and Coal Grove gained this year’s crown — with identical 10-4 league records. At long last, the allOVC list was publicly released on Thursday, as Gallia Academy completed its second season in the OVC. Four Blue Devils landed first-team honors, while sophomore Cole Davis was named as the club’s only Honorable Mention selection. There are no Players of the Year selected, but Gallia Academy head coach Rich Corvin garnered Coach of the Year. Corvin completed his 14th season this spring as the Blue Devils’ head coach. He actually shared the top skipper honor with Drew Mader of Coal Grove, as Corvin captured solo COY honors last season. The only squad with more picks was Coal Grove, as the Hornets had four first-teamers and a pair of Honorable Mentions. For Gallia Academy, seniors Jeremy Brumfield and Brody Thomas earned first team — as did sophomore ace pitcher Josh Faro and junior John Stout. Faro is the Blue and White’s lone repeat selection, as he made Honorable Mention a season ago. Four of the six Hornets are repeaters, including repeat first-teamers Daniel Rutherford and Chase McKnight.

Watt to finish draft class PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed first-round pick T.J. Watt to a fouryear contract. Watt, a linebacker from Wisconsin and the younger brother of Houston Texans star J.J. Watt, was taken with the 30th overall pick in the draft. He is the last of Pittsburgh’s eight draft picks to sign. Financial details were not released. Watt actually began his collegiate career as a tight end before switching to linebacker. He played in 27 games for the Badgers, making 14 starts, over a two-year span. Watt recorded 70 tackles, including 17 stops for losses and 11½ sacks in his college career. The Steelers finish minicamp on Thursday. They report for training camp at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on July 27. Holtmann contract offers bonuses for winning, good grades COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — New Ohio State basketball coach Chris Holtmann’s $3 million annual contract includes incentives for making the NCAA Tournament and ensuring his players get good grades. Ohio State signed the former Butler coach to an eight-year deal to replace Thad Matta, who was fired June 5. The contract still has to be approved by university trustees, but Ohio State released the terms Wednesday. The contract contains bonuses for winning, including $40,000 for making the NCAA Tournament and $100,000 for winning the national championship. Plus, Holtmann gets $50,000 if his players can maintain an average cumulative grade-point average of 3.0. If the players can manage a cumulative 3.5 average, he’ll make $150,000. The contract also includes football tickets and a golf club membership. He’ll be eligible for a raise beginning next year. NCAA extends coaches’ boxes as part of rules change package INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA’s playing rules oversight panel will give college basketball coaches more room to roam next season after approving an extension of the coaches’ boxes from 28 to 38 feet. Other men’s basketball rules changes include finding more consistent spots for inbound passes. The shot clock will be reset to 20 seconds when the offensive team draws a foul in the frontcourt. If more than 20 seconds remain there will be no change. Referees can use instant replay in the final two minutes of the game or overtime to determine whether a secondary defender was inside or outside the restricted-arc area. A legal screen will require players to keep their feet no wider than their shoulders.

(AP) — The NCAA has suspended Louisville’s men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino for five Atlantic Coast Conference games following its sex scandal investigation. The governing body also Thursday placed the basketball program on four years’ probation, vacated wins in which ineligible players participated and handed down a 10-year show-cause order for former basketball operations director Andre McGee. It is unclear if the vacated wins will include the Cardinals’ 2013 national championship. The long-awaited announcement reiterated the NCAA’s original view that Pitino should have known about McGee’s activities with former escort Katina Powell, who alleged in a 2015 book that staff McGee had hired her and other escorts to strip and have sex with Louisville recruits and players. The NCAA’s release included a statement by the panel on its decision, which said: “Without dispute, NCAA rules do not allow institutional staff members to arrange for stripteases and sex acts for prospects, enrolled student-athletes and/or those who accompany them to campus.” Penalties prescribed by the panel also include men’s basketball scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions; a fine of $5,000, plus the university must return money received through conference revenue sharing for its appearances in the 2012 to 2015 NCAA men’s basketball championships. The panel also accepted the university’s self-imposed 2015-16 postseason ban. Powell alleged that McGee paid her $10,000 for 22 shows at the Cardinals’ dormitory from 201014, a period that includes their NCAA title run. The panel also had harsh comments about McGee’s actions in its decision. “NCAA members agree that schools must provide a safe, healthy and positive environment for their student-athletes, not only academically, but in all facets of their lives,” said the panel. “The former opera- tions director, the individual entrusted to keep order at Minardi Hall, created an environment that has no place on a college campus and was directly at odds with college athletics and higher education.” Louisville officials met with the governing body in April and expected to hear about its penalties from the Committee on Infractions. Louisville was alleged to have committed four violations, with Pitino charged with failing to monitor former McGee. The Hall of Fame coach and the school had denied that allegation. Louisville self-imposed several sanctions last year, including a postseason ban along with reducing scholarships and recruiting visits by assistant coaches. Powell’s allegations led to several investigations, including one by Louisville’s athletic department in February 2016 that ultimately determined violations did occur. It imposed a postseason ban along with reducing scholarships and recruiting visits by coaches. Scary sight: Browns’ top pick Garrett hurts foot in practice BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Myles Garrett limped off the field Wednesday, a scary sight for the Cleveland Browns. The No. 1 overall draft pick sustained an injury to his left foot late in practice while rushing quarterback Brock Osweiler during a two-minute drill. The severity of the injury is not yet known, and the Browns are hoping it’s not serious. Garrett, who missed time earlier this spring with an unspecified injury, appeared to go down without any contact. He stayed on the ground for nearly a minute as Browns players and coaches looked on with concern. Garrett was checked by a trainer and coach Hue Jackson, who helped Garrett to his feet before the rookie defensive end hobbled to the sideline. Garrett then sat on the ground and rubbed his foot as the workout continued under threatening skies. He did not return to practice and limped into the field house NOTES: Second-year receiver Cody Core hurt his lower left leg on the last play of practice. He was in severe pain on the field, and was taken by cart for X-rays. The Bengals had no update on severity of his injury. Core caught 17 passes for 200 yards as a rookie. … Heavy rain prompted a 25-minute halt midway through practice. The start of practice on Tuesday also was briefly delayed by rain. … Top draft pick John Ross participated in conditioning drills but was held out of any activities that would involve using his arms. The receiver is recovering from a torn labrum. … Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick participated in drills but not in plays for the second straight day. He’s recovering from a hand injury. when the Browns were forced to go indoors because of inclement weather. Garrett continued to favor his foot when he walked into the locker room. Jackson did not know the extent of Garrett’s injury and was not going to speculate until the 21-year-old is examined by doctors. “Obviously I’ll know more once we get inside, but I think it’s his foot, so we’ll see,” Jackson said. “I don’t know how it happened. Those things happen. Hopefully everything’s OK, and we’ll see once I get a chance to go inside.” The Browns were unlikely to have an update on Garrett until Thursday. Jackson felt it was a good sign that Garrett stayed on the sideline to watch the rest of practice instead of heading inside. The 6-foot-4, 272pound Garrett had not been forthcoming about his previous injury, but said it was frustrating to be limited in practice. He participated in individual and team drills during Wednesday’s workout, and it was somewhat curious that Garrett was often the final player to complete a rotation.

Jackson said it’s always difficult to see a player get hurt, especially one as talented as Garrett. “That’s part of the game,” he said. “Obviously I don’t want to get any of our players nicked, hurt, any of that. But hopefully things will be fine. We don’t want to lose any player, especially not one of our really good players. But hopefully things will be OK, and I think they will be. I don’t know that for sure, but we’ll find out as I go inside.” After Thursday’s practice, the Browns took a break until training camp starts late in July, giving Garrett plenty of time to get healthy. Garrett was limited during his junior season at Texas A&M because of a severely sprained left ankle. Cleveland has a checkered history with injures. Just last season, the Browns lost starting guards Joel Bitonio and John Greco with foot injuries that required season-ending surgery and starting quarterback Robert Griffin III broke his shoulder in the opener.

McGee did not cooperate with the NCAA investigation. Both Pitino and Louisville again vowed to fight the charge that Pitino failed to monitor McGee when the coach and school officials met with the Committee on Infractions earlier this spring. Pitino declined to discuss the specifics of the hearing with the NCAA in April, which he said was “one of the most difficult days, and I don’t want to relive any of those hours.” Pitino has said he had no knowledge of the activities described in Powell’s book, “Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen.” Besides reiterating its allegation that the Hall of Famer failed to monitor McGee’s conduct, the NCAA said it in its earlier response to the school that Pitino didn’t seem to want to know what his assistant was doing.
