The Times Recorder in Zanesvillereports that a man found the remains Friday while hunting arrowheads near a dam on the Muskingum River. That area is roughly 15 miles south of Zanesville and 60 miles southeast of Columbus. The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office says deputies searched the area and also collected several unspecified items of interest.

Crews find body of 15-yearold boy reported missing in creek BEDFORD, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say the body of a 15-year-old boy has been recovered from a northeast Ohio creek where he went missing while swimming over the weekend. Bedford Fire Chief David Nagy said the boy’s body was found Monday morning in Tinker’s Creek in the Cleveland Metroparks’ Bedford Reservation. The boy’s name wasn’t immediately released. Authorities said the teen was swimming with a group Saturday evening when he got caught in the current. A search team scoured the area but called off the search due to darkness. Crews searched several hours Sunday before calling off the search again because of the dangerous currents. Nagy says the search team found the boy a few hours after returning to the site Monday. E-school fighting Ohio over $60M: We didn’t fund critical ad COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — One of the nation’s largest online charter schools says a television ad attacking Ohio’s effort to have the school repay $60 million wasn’t funded with public money and is no longer being broadcast. State Auditor Dave Yost had warned the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow that it’s not allowed to fund such advertising with taxpayer dollars intended for education. A response from ECOT’s superintendent says the ad stopped airing Thursday. He said it wasn’t funded by the school, contradicting an ECOT spokesman’s earlier explanation reported in The Columbus Dispatch. ECOT is locked in a multi-pronged legal battle over how Ohio officials tallied student log-ins to determine funding. The state says the e-school didn’t have documentation to justify $60 million. ECOT alleges officials unfairly changed criteria to adjust funding. Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor nears announcement of governor run COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Republican Lt. Gov.

As Washington Republicans decry Trump’s latest round of Twitter attacks, Republicans on the ground from New York to Louisiana to Iowa continue to stand by the president and his unorthodox leadership style. For now at least, rank-and-file Republicans are far more willing to blame the GOP-led Congress for their party’s lack of progress, sending an early warning sign as the GOP looks to preserve its House and Senate majorities in next year’s midterm elections. Inside and outside the Beltway surrounding the nation’s capital, Republicans worry their party could pay a steep political price unless they show significant progress on their yearslong promise to repeal and replace Democrat Barack Obama’s health care law. Even more disturbing, some say, is the Republican Party’s nascent struggle to overhaul the nation’s tax system, never mind Trump’s unfulfilled vows to repair roads and TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 69° 82° 80° Humid today; an afternoon thunderstorm.

And we have the House, the Senate and the presidency, and we can’t do it?” he continued. “What’s the deal, guys?” Louisiana Republican Party Chairman Roger Villere bemoans “factionalism” in his party. Intraparty divisions are holding up health care, he says, which in turn keeps the GOP-led government from tackling other priorities. He’s looking to Trump for leadership. “He’s the ultimate negotiator,” Villere said. “We’ll see how good he is.” Back in Trump Tower, Sheila Gentry conceded that Trump’s tweets sometimes make her cringe, but she still has confidence in her president. She can’t say the same for congressional Republicans. “The Republicans who are in there now that aren’t being very supportive, they’re going to find themselves without a job soon if they don’t step it up,” she said.

Tom MacArthur, R-N.J. “It’s not just about the health care bill.

In Iowa’s Adair County, GOP Chairman Ryan Frederick fears that Republican voters will begin to lose confidence in their party’s plans for taxes, infrastructure and immigration should the health care overhaul fail. “Everyone I know looks at trying to get Obamacare repealed and says, ‘If we’re making this much of a pig’s breakfast out of that, what are we going to do with tax reform?’” 88° 67° Shown is today’s weather.

That shift came a day after several Republicans in Congress condemned Trump’s personal Twitter attack against MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, which was viewed across Washington as an unwanted distraction in the midst of a sensitive policy debate. Trump’s nationwide approval rating hovered below 40 percent in Gallup’s weekly tracking survey, even before the tweet. At the same time, just one in four voters approve of Republicans in Congress, Quinnipiac University found. Democrats, meanwhile, report sustained energy on the ground in swing districts where Republicans face tough re-election challenges. Democrats need to flip bridges across America and build a massive border wall. “It’s a problem for Republicans, who were put in place to fix this stuff. If you can’t fix it, I need someone who can,” said Ernie Rudolph, a 72-year-old cybersecurity executive from suburban Des Moines, Iowa. There is no easy path forward for the Republican Party. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts that health care legislation backed by House and Senate Republican leaders — and favored by Trump — would ultimately leave more than 20 million additional Americans without health care, while enacting deep cuts to Medicaid and other programs that address the opioid epidemic. In some cases, the plans would most hurt Trump’s most passionate supporters. Just 17 percent of Americans support the Senate’s health care plan, according to a poll released last week, making it one of the least popular major legislative proposals in history.

But in New York’s Trump Tower cafe, the Gentry family blames Congress, not the president. Like many Trump voters across America, the Alabama couple, vacationing last week with their three children, says they are deeply frustrated with the president’s GOP allies, faulting them for derailing Trump’s plans. As the family of five lunched in Trump Tower, Sheila Gentry offered a pointed message to those concerned with the GOP’s ability to govern five months into the Trump presidency. “Shut up. Get on board. And let’s give President Trump the benefit of the doubt. It takes a while,” said the 46-year-old nursing educator from Section, Alabama. “They just need a good whoopin’,” said her husband, Travis Gentry, a 48-year-old engineer, �Sports The Daily Sentinel Tuesday, July 4, 2017 s 6 OVP Sports Briefs Tri-County Junior Golf Schedule POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The schedule for the 2017 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League has been released.

Those are the subplots for the Ohio Valley Publishing area’s three Mason County football teams in 2017, as season schedules for Point Pleasant, Wahama and Hannan have been announced. There are 11 regular-season weeks with West Virginia high school football, as most statewide squads have filled their 10 spots for next season. While Point Pleasant plays five different schools from last year, Wahama — again — has bookend non-league bouts sandwiched around an eightgame league slate. And, this season, Hannan has a full 10-game schedule. All three Mason County clubs’ schedules can be found at www.wvssac.org on the web. For the Point Pleasant Big Blacks, which went 11-1 last year and advanced all the way to the Class AA state quarterfinals, they enter this campaign as owners of a 43-game regularseason winning streak. In fact, that is the longest such streak in the entire Mountain State. However, it’s going to be seriously challenged right off the bat in the opening two weeks. The Big Blacks’ first four bouts this season are different from last year — when they defeated Lincoln County, Ripley, Gallia Academy and Logan (W. Va.). Quite different to be exact, as PPHS will open the season at home on Aug. 25 against defending Class AA state champion Mingo Central. Then, in the first of three consecutive road shows, the Big Blacks travel to James Monroe — which shut them out (21-0) in last year’s Class AA quarterfinal. That contest is set for Sept. 1, followed by back-to-back road games at Warren on Sept. 8 and Herbert Hoover on Sept. 15. Warren will be the first of two Ohio teams the Big Blacks face, as the Warriors replace Gallia Academy on the docket. The other Ohio opponent is Meigs, which replaces Princeton and is a home game for the Big Blacks on Oct. 13. Returning to the Big Blacks’ slate are home dates against Mount View on Sept. 22, Man on Oct. 20, and Westside on Oct. 27 — sandwiched around road trips to Parkersburg South on Sept. 29 and Bluefield on Oct. 6. The Parkersburg South affair is a 7 p.m. kickoff — with all other games set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday nights.

Wahama — with being a member of the nine smallschool Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division — must play eight league games against Ohio teams, and thus has only room for two West Virginia non-leagues. Those two are with Ravenswood in the season opener on Aug. 25 and at Buffalo in the season finale on Nov. 3. The White Falcons travel to Southern on Sept. 8, Belpre on Sept. 15, Eastern on Oct. 6 and South Gallia on Oct. 13, while hosting Waterford on Sept. 1, Federal Hocking on Sept. 22, Trimble on Sept. 29, and Miller on Oct. 20.

They’re going to be excited,” Judge said after rosters were announced Sunday. The dozen first-time starters are the most since voting was returned to fans in 1970. Just one player was picked from the World Series champion Cubs: reliever Wade Davis, who wasn’t even with Chicago when it ended a 108-year title drought last fall. The Cubs had seven All-Stars last season, including their entire starting infield. “Frankly, we haven’t had many guys who were all that deserving,” Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta. Just past the halfway point, the Cubs are 41-41. “Maybe this is actually a good thing. Right now, rest is not a bad word,” said Chicago’s Joe Maddon, who will manage the NL. In a sign of the generational change, the All-Stars with the most selections are Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw with eight and St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina with seven. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, the senior All-Star last year with 11 selections, wasn’t picked for the first time since 2009. Two of the first-time starters are from the Houston Astros, who have the best record in the major leagues: Correa, the shortstop drafted first overall in 2012, and outfielder George Springer. Second baseman Jose Altuve was elected to his third start. “It’s something that you dream about since you are a little kid, since you get drafted, since you sign a professional contract,” Correa said. Houston pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Lance McCullers Jr. were picked, as well, giving the Astros five All-Stars, tied for the most with the New York Yankees, Cleveland and Washington. Keuchel is hurt and won’t pitch. Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, second baseman Daniel Murphy and first baseman Ryan Zimmerman were elected to start, and Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg were selected for the pitching staff. Harper led fan voting with 4.63 million ballots. “Definitely humbled by fans, the way they treat me,” Harper said. At 32, Zimmerman is an All-Star for the first time since 2009, when he was a reserve third baseman. “Yeah, sports are funny, man,” Zimmerman said. “It’s just a crazy path to get back, but it’s also pretty cool.” Judge, the 6-foot-7 rookie who leads the major leagues with 27 home runs, topped the AL with 4.49 million votes. He is joined in the outfield by Springer and Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout, who hopes to return in time from a torn thumb ligament. Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez overtook Minnesota’s Miguel Sano in the final days of balloting to win the AL third base spot by about 54,000 votes, Toronto’s Justin Smoak bounced back to beat Kansas See STARTERS | 7 �Daily Sentinel Starters Series.

Hannan had two wins as well, rolling Hundred (39-22) and blanking Beallsville (55-0), as the Wildcats’ schedule only consisted of nine games. This year, as of now, the Wildcats will have 10 duels on the books. All 10 matchups do have 7:30 p.m. kickoffs, including against its three Ohio opponents —Green on Sept. 1, Manchester on Sept. 8 and Beallsville on Oct. 6. The Wildcats’ quintet of road tilts feature Green on Sept. 1, Hundred on Sept. 15, Beallsville on Oct. 6, Gilmer County on Oct. 20, and Phelps on Oct. 27 — with new foe Manchester on Sept. 8 at home. The other four home duels are against Montcalm on Aug. 25, Jenkins on Sept. 29, Paden City on Oct. 13, and Cameron on Oct. 27. Jenkins — a new opponent — joins Phelps as the two Kentucky teams the Wildcats will face, as Manchester and Cameron came on while Bishop Donahue and River View went off. The only other alterations to Hannan’s schedule is Phelps moving from the sixth game to the ninth (Week 10), with Beallsville moving up from the 10th to the sixth (Week 7). Wahama will be idle in week 10, while Hannan has its bye week on Sept. 22. The West Virginia and Ohio football seasons officially open on Aug. 25.

The peak rises 900 feet (274 meters) above a fork of the Potomac River below. Visitors can splash in the river, hike forest trails and stay in campgrounds or an old motel. The nearby hamlet has two combination general stores and restaurants. Seneca Rocks viewed from the ground spears the sky with its gray quartzite, but becomes more intimate and breathtaking on the way to the top. You hear the birds and soft thrum of the wind through the hardwood forest, and occasional yells from climbers to partners belaying them on safety ropes. Happensack led climbing partner Phil Brown and me up a seven-pitch patchwork of easy routes to the top, including the Skyline Traverse. Many handholds and steps were obvious jugs of rock. No pitches were rated higher than 5.4 in the Yosemite Decimal System for technical climbing that ranges from 5.1 to nearly impossible 5.15. One well-known feature is that traverse with little more than a few steps around a rock column into a three-sided chimney with obvious holds. However, the first moves require stepping over about a 100-foot (30meter) drop. “It’s like the scariest thing a beginner can get into,” said Happensack, who has taken many firsttimers up the route.

(AP) — The pale ridge rises like the ragged fin of a prehistoric fish in a rolling green sea of low forested mountains in eastern West Virginia. Massive and intimidating, the craggy landscape of Seneca Rocks draws serious rock climbers from Washington, Pittsburgh and elsewhere to its fiercely vertical routes. The mountaintop, which can be reached without technical climbing gear, once hosted American combat troops training to fight in Italy’s Apennine Range during World War II. Despite its daunting appearance, guides say this is a good place to introduce novices to a challenging but manageable ascent. “It lends itself to mellow climbing,” said Adam Happensack, who led a threesome of mixed skill levels to the summit recently. “It’s like the Pageville Freewill Baptist Church We study Old King James chapter by chapter verse upon verse 60726959 LEARN THE TRUE WORDS GOD GAVE ALL Sunday 9:30 am Wednesday 6:30 pm 40964 SR 684 Pageville, Ohio Notices NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

It took me a long, slow, breathless minute to follow him: testing the leaning traverse across the space, trying to grip the narrow crack on one side and fumble toward something to hold on the other with arms spread wide; trusting that the slightly smooth step below wouldn’t simply slide you into space. The safety rope attached to my climbing harness was somewhat reassuring. This is what climbers call exposure — where there would be a high risk of injury or even death from a false step without protection. You have to trust the rope and go. Brown, who followed me, has climbed for a decade in the Adirondacks and did this traverse once before. “Wow,” he said, when he joined us at the top of the chimney where Happensack belayed him. “Cool.” The next day Brown led me up Old Man’s Route. Rated only 5.3 for difficulty, it consists mostly of what looks like a giant stairway along the cliff face ending in a 50-foot (15-meter) vertical corner to the summit ledge. At the base, 33-yearold Lindsey Enterline, pregnant with her first child, prepared to do it with a friend. A climber for seven years and a runner, her obstetrician told her to keep doing what she was doing but not start anything new. She’d chosen the easy route instead of the harder climb her husband and other friends from Hershey, Pennsylvania, took on. “I’ve done the route before, and it’s one that I won’t fall sideways — or do the traverse,” she said. “I just make sure it’s safe. And you have to have cool trust in the people you’re climbing with.” Another young woman, on her first climb, mounted the corner farther up, kept on a tight rope by the experienced partner who coached her on finding holds. She ascended with only one or two hesitations. She’d fallen farther down the mountain, but was caught on the rope and kept climbing. “I had a moment,” she said with a smile. With no trail to walk down, Seneca Rocks climbs end in rappelling on ropes threaded through a device on your harness that creates friction and slows the descent. “That was scarier than the climb up,” the novice said. Other sites that draw climbers to the state include the New River Gorge and Summersville Lake, where cliffs lean out over the water not far from the gorge. Yard Sale Turn Your Clutter INTO CASH!

Surveying the landscape going into free agency, the Miami Heat president had a clear sense that smarter spending was going to be the rule in the NBA this summer as opposed to the enormous-contract spree that occurred a year ago. And so far, he’s been proven right. There have still been some massive contracts — Stephen Curry’s $201 million agreement with Golden State will set an NBA total-value record, while the Clippers’ Blake Griffin, New Orleans’ Jrue Holiday and Toronto’s Kyle Lowry combined to assure themselves another $400 million in soon-to-beofficial deals. Otto Porter may be in line for $105 million, either from Sacramento or Washington. But unlike 2016, there’s been very few puzzling moves. “Some of the contracts were sort of out of whack,” Riley said. That was then, with deals like ones given to Joakim Noah ($72 million for four years by the Knicks), Timofey Mozgov ($64 million for four years by the Lakers) and Luol Deng ($72 million for four years, also by the Lakers) not exactly paying massive dividends last season. Perhaps not coincidentally, it should be noted that the Knicks and Lakers are both under different management this summer. Deals are getting done — going into Monday, $1.255 billion in new contracts have been agreed upon this summer already, a figure that goes past $1.5 billion when Porter signs and assuming John Wall takes his $168 million extension offer from Washington. They’re just getting done more judiciously, or so it would seem. “That’s part of the reasons we signed guys in advance last summer, was in anticipation of where the cap was going, knowing the value of cap room wasn’t going to be as much because of the preponderance of cap room in the marketplace,” Portland president of basketball operations Neil Olshey said, noting there was $450 million available in cap room this summer across the league. To Dwyane Wade, who will make nearly $24 million this season, what’s happening now is eye-popping. “If I’m 25 with the same numbers,” the Chicago guard tweeted on June 21 with a reference to his stats from last season, “I’m getting 150 million.” And later, Cleveland star LeBron James suggested that Curry should be getting $400 million instead of half that much. Money matters, clearly. But this summer, teams and players are both showing savvy when handling these deep NBA coffers. Gordon Hayward may sign a three-year deal wherever he goes, in large part because when that contract ends he’d be a 10-year veteran and in line for an even-bigger payday than the one that awaits. J.J. Redick cashed in with Philadelphia for $23 million, and gets the chance to be free again next summer. Lowry, Serge Ibaka and Jeff Teague were among those who took three-year deals, even though longer ones were possible. Lowry announced his decision on The Players’ Tribune, saying his son’s reaction to the news that they were staying in Toronto was that they now need to get a bigger house. “We’ll see about that one,” Lowry said. In the first two days of free agency — really, Monday was only Day 3, even though it seems like it’s been going on forever — at least 19 of the 30 NBA clubs struck known agreements on deals that will be eligible to be executed starting Thursday. Half the league hasn’t done anything that could be described as anywhere near splashy, either because funds are tight or they’re waiting for other dominoes to fall. “Really happy and looking forward to this opportunity,” point guard Jose Calderon said after getting a $2.3 million deal from Cleveland, which didn’t have the room to be a major player in free agency — though can still make trades if it chooses, of course. Golden State, meanwhile, has beaten the Cavaliers for two of the last three NBA titles and has handed out $275 million in new contracts so far this summer. And that total will soar when Kevin Durant’s new deal with the Warriors gets added in, presumably sometime later this week. Other teams without cap space or mechanisms by which to land players have to wait and see for what’s left. “I don’t know how much money our team has — $16 million, and those guys are making $30 million now,” Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said, when asked if he thought his team could be a major player in free agency this year. “If you look at it that way, it doesn’t look likely. But there are good players out there.” Daily Sentinel Boston New York Tampa Bay Baltimore Toronto W 47 43 43 40 37 L 35 37 41 42 44 Cleveland Kansas City Minnesota Chicago Detroit W 44 41 41 36 36 L 37 40 40 45 45 Houston Los Angeles Seattle Texas Oakland W 56 43 41 40 35 L 27 43 42 42 47 Washington Atlanta New York Miami Philadelphia W 48 40 38 36 27 L 34 41 43 44 53 Milwaukee Chicago St. Louis Pittsburgh Cincinnati W 45 41 39 37 35 L 40 41 42 45 46 Los Angeles Arizona Colorado San Diego San Francisco W 55 52 48 34 33 L 29 31 36 48 51 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .573 — — .538 3 — .512 5 — .488 7 2 .457 9½ 4½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .543 — — .506 3 ½ .506 3 ½ .444 8 5½ .444 8 5½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .675 — — .500 14½ 1 .494 15 1½ .488 15½ 2 .427 20½ 7 ___ NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .585 — — .494 7½ 6½ .469 9½ 8½ .450 11 10 .338 20 19 Central Division Pct GB WCGB .529 — — .500 2½ 6 .481 4 7½ .451 6½ 10 .432 8 11½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .655 — — .627 2½ — .571 7 — .415 20 13 .393 22 15 AMERICAN LEAGUE Sunday’s Games Boston 15, Toronto 1 Cleveland 11, Detroit 8 Baltimore 7, Tampa Bay 1 Chicago White Sox 6, Texas 5 Houston 8, N.Y.

(AP) — Beer sales will be allowed throughout Marshall University’s stadium for home football games starting this fall. The school’s Board of Governors approved the new policy Wednesday. It includes designation of multiple alcohol-free seating sections. The athletic department also unveiled plans for two construction projects on the west side of the stadium, to be completed by August. Additional retail space for sale of official Herd athletics merchandise is being added between Gates B and C on the southwest side. On the northwest side, between Gates A and B, the concourse stadium expansion will provide additional space for vendors. Televisions will also be added in front of the main concession stands throughout Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Marshall’s first game of the season is at home Sept. 2 against Miami (Ohio). WVU sets clear bag policy for events MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University is establishing a new security policy for fans entering sports events. Starting with the women’s soccer home opener on Aug. 24, the state’s flagship public university will adopt the clear bag policy set by the NFL and other collegiate programs. Fans will be allowed to bring in a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag no larger than 12 inches in length and 6 inches in depth. Additional small clutch bags will be allowed into venues. Exceptions will be made for medically necessary items. Banned items will include purses, diaper bags, coolers and backpacks. The policy applies to ticketed events at Milan Puskar Stadium, WVU Coliseum, Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium and Monongalia County Ballpark. Athletics Director Shane Lyons says the school “made this decision to protect our fans.” 60727225 Billups withdraws from Cavs’ front-office job CLEVELAND (AP) — Chauncey Billups spun away from the Cavaliers. After discussing a lead role in Cleveland’s front office, Billups withdrew from consideration on Monday. The former All-Star guard had been in discussions with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert about joining the reigning Eastern Conference champions, but the 40-year-old said “that the timing just isn’t right.” The Cavs have been looking for a general manager since David Griffin parted ways with the club just before the draft. Griffin helped guide Cleveland to three straight Finals appearances but could not resolve issues with Gilbert, who has yet to give any of the four GMs who have worked for him since 2005 a contract extension. Billups does not have any front-office experience, but his solid reputation attracted him to Gilbert, who has known him since he played for the Detroit Pistons. It is believed Gilbert asked Billups to be the club’s president of basketball operations. Billups, who has strong roots in Denver, previously interviewed for Atlanta’s GM opening. Cavaliers assistant GM Koby Altman is leading Cleveland’s front office during free agency, and it’s possible he will assume the role full-time. The Cavaliers have agreed to terms with shooting specialist Kyle Korver and veteran guard Jose Calderon since the free-agency negotiating period opened Saturday. Yankees’ Judge, Sanchez to participate in Home Run Derby NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez, the Baby Bombers who lead the New York Yankees’ offense, will participate in the All-Star Home Run Derby at Miami on July 10. Judge, a rookie who homered in his first major league at-bat last August, leads the majors with 27 homers and tops the American League with a .327 average and 62 RBIs. Sanchez is hitting .289 with 13 homers and 40 RBIs despite missing nearly a month with a strained biceps. New York made the announcement Monday on Twitter before its game against Toronto. Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton will defend his title. Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger, who leads the National League with 24 homers, also says he will compete. Blue Jays acquire Miguel Montero from Cubs NEW YORK (AP) — Catcher Miguel Montero has been acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays from the Cubs, six days after he blamed Chicago pitcher Jake Arrieta for allowing seven stolen bases in a 6-1 loss to Washington. Toronto said Monday it acquired the two-time All-Star and cash for a player to be named or cash. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
