Commissioners express support for Second Amendment RUTLAND TWP. — The 12th and ﬁnal Meigs County Bicentennial Marker was unveiled on Wednesday evening during a ceremony in Rutland Township. The marker pays tribute to Civil War soldier William McKnight, who is buried in Miles Cemetery near where the marker is placed. Bicentennial Ambassadors Brielle Newland and Cooper Schagel told of McKnight during the ceremony. McKnight was born in 1832 in New Brunswick, Canada, and later moved to Rutland Township with his parents and siblings. He was a blacksmith by trade. In 1855, McKnight married Samaria Braley and they had seven children. In 1862, McKnight decided to join the Army. He was mustered two months later with Company K of the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry as 2st Sergeant. “During his time in the Army, William fought in Kentucky and Tennessee, while other members of his regiment fought Morgan’s Raiders in Ohio. McKnight desperately wanted to join the other men in Ohio, but his superiors refused. He later found out that while Morgan’s men were traveling through Meigs County some had stayed in his own home. McKnight wrote a letter to his wife, expressing his anger of the situation. “I would have given anything that I possessed to have been home when Morgan was there, for I know you would feel dreadful streaked to say nothing of the rest of the trouble you must have had.

An object that by itself is incapable of doing harm,” said Smith. “The focus should be on the mental state of the person who’s hand is holding the gun.

It seems to me, a very unfortunate circumstance to have been obliged to remain with the camp when there was work at home. The invader at my own door and here I must stay at the pleasure of my superiors,” wrote McKnight. In 1864, McKnight was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant. Later that year he was killed in the Battle of Cynthiana in Kentucky, leaving behind his wife and six children. His remains were returned to Meigs County and buried in Miles Cemetery, near the location of the marker. Newland explained what sets McKnight apart from some of his fellow soldiers. “What sets William McKnight apart from many of this fellow soldiers is that historians have found most of the letters that held his correspondence with his family and were made into a book,” said Newland. Do They Miss Me at Home was edited by Donald C. Maness and H. Jason Combs and includes 108 letters mostly written by McKnight to his wife between 1862 and 1864 when he was with the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. In the letters, McKnight wrote about what he went through as a soldier and the battles he participated in. He also wrote about many heart wrenching topics from his duty to serve his country to desperately missing his family and wishing for more letters.

It undoubtedly left the community emotionally disconsolate. Some stood in shock. Others were ﬁlled with outrage. Utter disbelief boggled the minds of most as they stared at the heaps. Burning grief gripped all. Perhaps it was the ﬁrst born of a young couple. Perhaps a grandfather was raising an orphaned tot. Why two year-olds? Why infants? Why our innocent babies? In the end, a heavy darkness of emotion, ripped wide by the cutting edge of grief, settled over the sorrowing com- munity as the soldiers cleansed their stained blades from the blood of the little children they had just killed. This is the dark and tragic side of the Christmas account. We do not talk about it much. The babes of Bethlehem died because Herod sought to snuff out the life of the Christ child. Using the Old Testament Scripture as a map, he ﬁgured where the Child should be. His brutality was merely temporal fodder for his soul’s ease only. But, let us not lose sight what this Biblical birth story of Christ is trying to communicate to us. This incident of the innocents, initially prophetic but eventually prevailing, impresses upon us compelling spiritual facts. First, this harrowing troubled with act underscores the Christ? desperate problems Another considthat people have eration with which with Jesus Christ. to have impressed The Scripture upon us is how this points out that incident with the when Herod heard innocents at Bethabout the birth Ron lehem magniﬁes of Christ that he Branch became “troubled, Contributing the spiritual struggle for the souls of and all Jerusalem columnist men.

Behind Herod’s brutal, and Lordship, they will self-serving scheme was remain troubled. Only none other than the devil until there is repentance attempting to thwart and submission to Jesus Christ can there be peace God’s perfect plan of on earth, as well as peace redemption. Yet, the overriding in hearts. Are you yet truth is that, despite the unfortunate travesty of innocent children caught in the middle of an evil agenda, it all veriﬁes the victory of God’s agenda through the nearing birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. It was not the Lord’s time to die in Bethlehem! Oh, most certainly, He was coming to die. However, His death was divinely timed for a Cross of sacriﬁce in Jerusalem, not in Bethlehem. The “fullness of time” was set for Jerusalem, not for Bethlehem. Recently, I held one of my granddaughters while standing at the back atrium door. We were watching squirrels and birds ﬂit around looking for food items. But, suddenly a sobering thought occurred to me in that precious moment—-she would have qualiﬁed for Herod’s slaughter. I was intensely stirred in my soul with that disturbing consideration. I thanked God for His grace that she was not there—-that we were not there. I cannot answer why God predicted through Prophet Jeremiah this incident of the innocents, and then allowed it to happen. I cannot fathom why mankind is so evil. But, what it does is to cause me to want to look Jesus Christ for the peace and consolation He brings to life. It makes me yearn for the sure hope and difference-making victory He gives. It causes me to depend on Him while living in this contemporary environment of unwieldy depravity. I am compelled to consider Christ—-for good reason.

I recall sitting in a theology class last year, studying what is often called the “problem of evil.” And to this day, humanity struggles to reconcile evil and God. After all, if God is all-powerful and perfect, then why does evil exist? Well, my aim this week is not to write a philosophical analysis of why evil and suffering exist. There are much smarter theologians out there who can provide much better answers. But in continuation of my “Jesus Understands” series, I want to ponder a truth that should really shift our perspective on pain and suffering. You see, Jesus understands suffering. Let’s think about this for a moment. During the Christmas season, we celebrate God coming to earth in the person of Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that He “became ﬂesh and dwelt among us” (see John 1:14). Which means He experienced both the joys and sorrows of being human. The Bible says, “Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might death; remain here, become a merciand watch with ful and faithful me.’ And going high priest in the a little farther he service of God, to fell on his face and make propitiation prayed, saying, for the sins of the ‘My Father, if it be people” (Heb. 2:17 possible, let this ESV). Isaiah cup pass from me; Not only does Pauley Jesus understand Contributing nevertheless, not as I will, but as you suffering, He columnist will’” (Matt. 26:36understands death. 39 ESV). After all, He died After His arrest, the for our sin. Bible continues, “Then “For Christ also sufthey spit in his face and fered once for sins, the righteous for the unrigh- struck him. And some teous, that he might bring slapped him, saying, ‘Prophesy to us, you us to God, being put to Christ! Who is it that death in the ﬂesh but struck you?’” (Matt. made alive in the spirit” 26:67-68 ESV). (1 Pet. 3:18 ESV). “And they stripped him Now, this might sound and put a scarlet robe on like a Good Friday meshim, and twisting togethsage. But Good Friday er a crown of thorns, they (the death of Christ) put it on his head and put doesn’t happen without Christmas (the coming of a reed in his right hand. Christ). And Christmas is And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, a wonderful time to consider the weight and mag- ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ And they spit on him and niﬁcence of what Jesus accomplishes through His took the reed and struck suffering. With that being him on the head. And when they had mocked said, let’s take a look at the suffering of Christ on him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own our behalf. “Then Jesus went with clothes on him and led him away to crucify him” them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said (Matt. 27:28-31 ESV). One of the most conto his disciples, ‘Sit here, vincing responses given while I go over there to the “problem of evil” and pray.’ And taking argument is to consider with him Peter and the the suffering that God two sons of Zebedee, he Himself endured for a began to be sorrowful people who would mock and troubled. Then he Him, ridicule Him, and said to them, ‘My soul is put Him to death on a very sorrowful, even to cross. All while being fully capable of removing Himself from that suffering and disowning sinful humanity for all of eternity. But there’s hope. I’m not sure what type of suffering you’re experiencing today. Maybe it’s physical pain. Maybe it’s intense anxiety. Maybe it’s a terminal illness. But my encouragement to you is this: Jesus understands. And Jesus Christ is coming again one day. Suffering doesn’t have the last word. And when His people enter that new Jerusalem some glorious day, “‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away’” (Rev. 21:4 ESV). No matter what kind of suffering we face, we can ﬁnd comfort in the arms of a Savior who understands. Why? Because He came as a baby on that day we call Christmas. “For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too” (2 Cor. 1:5 ESV).

Stars Simmons, Young lead defenses in Clemson-Ohio St clash CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — There is little doubt the nation’s best defensive player will take the ﬁeld at the Fiesta Bowl when No 2 Ohio State faces No. 3 Clemson for a trip to the national championship game. The only debate for some is which sideline he’s on. Buckeyes defensive end Chase Young and Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons have won plenty of awards and shown the skills that will make them high NFL draft choices, perhaps as soon as this spring. The two juniors are key cogs for the nation’s top two overall defenses, with Clemson leading the way. Young led Ohio State (13-0, No. 2 CFP) and the nation with 16.5 sacks this season on the way to winning the Hendricks and Bednarik awards. The 6-5, 265-pounder from Maryland was a ﬁnalist for the Heisman Trophy. Young had four sacks in Ohio State’s ﬁrst of two wins over Wisconsin, then had three in a critical victory against Penn State after missing the previous two games due to suspension. Young has done all this despite opponents using extra bodies to get in his way. “”Teams put a lot more focus on chipping Chase, putting a guard on Chase, doubling Chase,” said Buckeyes freshman defensive end Zach Harrison. It hasn’t really work as Young had 21 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles despite missing those two November games. “When a play has to be made, we make it, get off the ﬁeld for the offense,” Young said. “I think that’s the best thing we can do.” Clemson’s Simmons has a similar style for the Tigers (13-0, No. 3 CFP), although no offense is ever sure if he will line up in the secondary or closer to the line of scrimmage. “What he brings to the table is unmatched,” Tigers safety K’Von Wallace said. “I feel like he’s changing the style of sports today.” Simmons, the 6-foot-4, 230-pounder from Kansas, describes himself as a Swiss Army knife, able to ﬁt and excel wherever Tigers defensive coordinator Brent Venables needs him. He leads Clemson with 93 tackles, but his versatility and coverage skills show up elsewhere on the stat sheet: He also tops the team with seven sacks and seven passes broken up this season. His play won him the Butkus award along with the Atlantic Coast Conference defensive player of the year. Venables said Simmons was a skinny prospect who never stopped moving and developed himself through hard work and studying the game.

Lady Raiders rout Meigs, 90-40 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — So much for gracious guests. The Meigs girls basketball team fell to non-conference guest Morgan by a 90-40 count on Wednesday night inside Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The Lady Marauders (2-5) scored the ﬁrst ﬁve points of the game, but Morgan (4-4) took the lead at 10-8 and never trailed again, leading 16-10 at the end of the ﬁrst quarter. The guests led by as many as 26 points in the second quarter, and settled for a 40-20 halftime advantage. The Raiders went on a 27-to-10 third quarter run, and headed into the ﬁnale with a 67-30 lead. Morgan closed the 90-40 win with a 23-to10 spurt, with its largest lead of the game as the 50-point ﬁnal margin. The guests won the rebounding battle by a 51-to-20 count, including 21-to-5 on the offensive glass. Meigs committed 25 turnovers, six more than the victors, and had team totals 11 steals, four assists and three blocked shots, while Morgan ended with 22 assists, 18 steals and four rejections. The Maroon and Gold shot 13-of-52 (25 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 2-of-15 (13.3 percent) from beyond the arc, while the Blue and Gray were 32-of-67 (47.8 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 6-of-20 (30 percent) from deep. At the foul line, Meigs was 12-of-18 (66.7 percent), while Morgan was 20-of28 (71.4 percent). Leading the hosts, Mallory Hawley scored 28 points, combining seven two-pointers, a pair of three-pointers and an 8-of-10 day at the foul line. Rylee Lisle recorded four points and teamhighs of six rebounds and four assists for Meigs, while Allie Glkey added three points. Bre Lilly and Alexis O’Brien had two points each for the Maroon and Gold, while Olivia Haggy scored one. Hawley also led the Lady Marauder defense with seven steals and a rejection. Sophie Smith paced the guests with 27 points and 12 rebounds. Rilee Coon had 23 points and 11 boards in the win, while Odessa Smith added 17 points. Sydnee Krigbaum claimed 14 points, 12 rebounds and two blocked shots, while making 10-of-10 free throws for the victors. Katie Hook had ﬁve points and four steals for the Blue and Gray, while Kierstyn Hopkins and Shelby Fisher scored two each, with Fisher dishing out a game-best ﬁve assists. These teams are scheduled to meet again on Feb. 5 in McConnelsville. After hosting River Valley on Thursday, the Lady Marauders will wrap-up 2019 at home against Belpre on Dec. 30.

Rookie Will Grier will start vs. Colts CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Will Grier grew up cheering on wide receiver Steve Smith from the stands at Carolina Panthers’ home games, where his family had season tickets. On Sunday, the lifelong Panthers fan will make his ﬁrst NFL start when Carolina visits the Indianapolis Colts (6-8). Panthers interim coach Perry Fewell named Grier the starter after Thursday’s practice, an announcement that was pretty much a foregone conclusion after Grier received all of the ﬁrstteam reps this week. “I’m extremely excited to go get that game experience,” Grier said. “Camp and preseason is one thing. It’s a grind. I’m excited to actually play in a full game.” Grier replaces Kyle Allen, who has lost his past six starts and thrown 11 interceptions during that span. A third-round pick out of West Virginia, Grier started the season No. 3 on the depth chart behind Cam Newton and ed to develop as well. Grier said it’s fun getting a chance to play with the starters in practice. “This year it’s been about how can I get better without taking these reps,” Grier said. “I tried to learn how I can continue to get myself better. I got to try different things because I didn’t have to get ready” to start. Grier’s most important task will be taking care of the football. Allen had not thrown an interception in his ﬁrst ﬁve NFL starts, but the ﬂoodgates have opened recently with the second-year QB struggling with turnovers. Allen’s 22 turnovers in 12 starts this season are more than Newton has had in any of his nine seasons with the Panthers. “It’s all about making quick decisions, reading the defense and taking what is there and not trying to press,” Turner said. Grier arrived in Carolina already married and a father. Allen. He hasn’t played since the preseason, where he was 34 of 61 for 385 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. With the Panthers out of playoff contention, offensive coordinator Scott Turner said the time “felt right” to give Grier a shot and ﬁnd out what he can do. “We think a lot of Will and that is why we drafted him where we did,” Turner said. “We have been developing him all year. He has been ready to go since Week 3 (when he moved into the backup role). I think it is just good for him to get out and play.” Turner said there will be no limitations on the playbook with Grier taking over at quarterback, adding that “we will run the plays that work and he will execute them.” Grier hasn’t taken many snaps with the ﬁrst team until this week because the team has been getting Allen as much work as possible in practice since he is a young QB who has need- FRIDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Lebanese Kitchen 7 PM 7:30 Jeopardy!

It is great to go home and have a family that is going to support you no matter what.” Grier grew up in Davidson, North Carolina, about 20 miles from the stadium. His father Chad Grier was the head football coach at Davidson Day, and Grier won three state titles there and once threw for 834 yards and 10 touchdowns in a 104-80 semiﬁnal playoff win over Harrells Christian. Panthers tight end Greg Olsen joked that if Grier does that again in the NFL the Panthers should build him a statue. “That was an incredible experience,” Grier said with a smile. “I don’t know if I ever could do that again.” FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20 9:30 10 PM 10:30 Global Citizen Prize (N) Dateline NBC Investigative features are covered.

Green on the active roster all season, hoping he could return from ankle surgery and put some life back into their foundering offense. Turns out that was wishful thinking. Green said Wednesday he has decided not to try to play in either of the ﬁnal two games because his ankle isn’t fully healed. The club’s most accomplished player also warned that he wouldn’t participate in most offseason practices next year if the Bengals use their franchise tag on him rather than offer a contract extension that meets his expectations. “No, I can’t do that,” Green said of organized team activities in the offseason. “Like I said, it’s a business. I understand if they franchise tag me, I can’t put myself in that situation to be here.” Green said he’d like to stay in Cincinnati on a multiyear deal. He can become a free agent after this season, his ninth with the Bengals. Green made the Pro Bowl each of his ﬁrst seven seasons, the ﬁrst receiver to do so since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. The streak ended last year when a toe injury wiped out half of his season. This year, he hurt his left ankle during the ﬁrst practice of training camp in Dayton, landing awkwardly after cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick broke up a pass during a 7-on-7 drill. He had surgery and was hopeful of returning before the season’s midpoint. The Bengals kept him on the active roster, essentially going one man short, as Green did his rehabilitation work. He returned to practice last month but the foot bothered him, forcing him to back off. Green and the Bengals were hopeful he might play either next Sunday in Miami or in the ﬁnal game at Paul Brown Stadium against the Cleveland Browns. He changed his mind this week after visiting the doctor who performed the surgery for a checkup. “It’s unfortunate that it was a very difﬁcult injury that’s hard to come back from,” coach Zac Taylor said. “At the end of the day, your wishful thinking was that it wasn’t going to be so long-term, but there was really no way of knowing that.” Green said he doesn’t have full range of motion in the ankle yet. “I came to the decision it’s best for me just to take this year off, just to get this thing healed so in the long run for the next couple years of my career, I won’t have no problems,” he said. The Bengals (1-13) are the only NFL team with one win. With one more loss, they would clinch the top pick in the draft, giving them the chance to take Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow or another quarterback. Green reiterated that he would like to stay in Cincinnati, where he has teamed with Andy Dalton since 2011 to set many of the club’s receiving records. Dalton has one year left on his contract and was benched for three games earlier this season as the Bengals started exploring their long-term quarterback options. “I really like the thought of A.J. catching balls for us,” Taylor said. “That’s something that gets me really excited.” If the Bengals can’t agree on a new deal with Green, they could use their franchise tag on him to keep him for 2020 at $18 million. Green said Wednesday he’d consider that an indication the club doesn’t want him around long-term, so he would have to protect himself by skipping offseason workouts — even if the Bengals were breaking in a new quarterback. “Every business has to make difﬁcult decisions,” Green said. “For me, I’m in my own business so I have to make decisions on my end as well.” OSU called to take a larger leadership role this year.

But it is what it he attempts to replace a is and we’re keeping our Associated Press Jaguars fire Coughlin amid 3rd season, following NFLPA shot JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars ﬁred top executive Tom Coughlin on Wednesday, parting ways with the two-time Super Bowl-winning coach a little more than a day after the NFL Players Union took a sledgehammer to his reputation. Coughlin served as executive vice president of football operations since 2017. It was his second stint with Jacksonville, the expansion franchise he helped build from the ground up in the mid-1990s. The unbending taskmaster had been in trouble for weeks because of the team’s sagging record and several questionable roster moves. The NFLPA seemingly forced owner Shad Khan’s hand after an arbitrator’s decision to undo millions in ﬁnes imposed by Coughlin himself. The NFLPA said Monday that more than 25% of player grievances ﬁled in the last two years have been against the Jaguars. The union’s take: “You as players may want to consider this when you have a chance to select your next club.” “I determined earlier this fall that making this move at the conclusion of the 2019 season would be in everyone’s best interests,” Khan said in a statement. “But, in recent days, I reconsidered and decided to make this change immediately. “I thank Tom for his efforts, not only over the past three years but for all he did from our very ﬁrst season, 25 years ago, to put the Jacksonville Jaguars on the map.” Khan said general manager Dave Caldwell and head coach Doug Marrone will each report directly to him on an interim basis. “My expectations, and those of our fans, for our ﬁnal two games and the 2020 season are high,” Khan added. The NFLPA grievances are a product of Coughlin’s peccadillos, many of which come from a good place — that of an old- school coach who always believed that football was more than just a business. But the rules that once seemed triﬂing — no sunglasses, all meetings start 5 minutes early — took a more sinister tone since Coughlin’s return. He was still basking in the glow of two Super Bowl titles during his in-between stay as coach of the New York Giants that painted him as a man who had truly changed his ways. He ﬁned defensive end Dante Fowler more than $700,000 in 2018 for missing “mandatory” appointments at the facility during the offseason. Problem was, the appointments weren’t really mandatory — a reality cooked into the rule book after some hard-fought wins by the union in collective bargaining about how much time players were obliged to spend at team headquarters in the offseason. Coughlin and the Jaguars have been on the wrong end of other highproﬁle battles against players — involving running back Leonard Fournette, cornerback Jalen Ramsey and now-retired defensive end Jared Odrick. All involved ﬁnes or criticism of players who didn’t act the way Coughlin liked, or failed to show up to voluntary sessions that the old coach always believed weren’t really voluntary. The pushback against Coughlin was as much a sign of the attitudes of players in the late 2010s as it is of their willingness to blindly follow a leader who hadn’t proven himself to them — regardless of whatever message those Super Bowl rings might have delivered. As much as creating a mindset, ultimately, Coughlin was brought back to build a championship roster. In his ﬁrst year back, it was trending that way, much the same as it was in the late 1990s, when he took the expansion franchise to the AFC title game twice in four years. senior class that is trying to help the Tigers win their third national title in four years. “When you graduate players like that, you better have quality coming in the door,” Swinney said. Clemson signed seven of the nation’s top 29 prospects according to the 247Sports Composite. That included No. 1 overall recruit Bryan Bresee, a defensive tackle from Damascus, Maryland. Ohio State’s class features wide receiver Julian Fleming (No. 2) and offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr. (No. 7). The Buckeyes landed the top uncommitted quarterback Wednesday when C.J. Stroud (No. 87) chose Ohio State. LSU signed two of the nation’s top 12 recruits in tight end Arik Gilbert (No. 9) and cornerback Elias Ricks (No. 12). The top two uncommitted prospects to sign Wednesday were Upland (California) linebacker Justin Flowe and Columbia (South Carolina) defensive end Jordan Burch. Flowe, ranked fourth overall, picked Oregon. Burch, the nation’s No. 5 prospect, chose South Carolina. Here’s a rundown of some notable events on Wednesday: LSU wins some, loses some LSU had one of the most eventful days of any program. The Tigers landed two previously uncommitted top-100 recruits in outside linebacker Phillip Webb (42nd) and offensive tackle Marcus Dumervil (97th) but also lost three players who had verbally committed to them. Wide receiver Rakim Jarrett (20th) made a switch to Maryland, wide receiver Jermaine Burton (52nd) opted for Georgia and four-star safety Malcolm Greene selected Clemson. Top Florida, California prospects leaving home Seven of the top 10 prospects in Florida according to the 247Sports Composite picked out-of-state schools. Clemson landed three of Florida’s top four recruits in running back Demarkcus Bowman (No. 16), defensive tackle Demonte Capehart (No. 24) and cornerback Fred Davis II (No. 26). The top Florida prospect is the LSU-bound Ricks. The highest-rated California player to sign with a home-state school so far is Stanford-bound wide receiver John Humphreys, ranked 14th in the state and 114th nationally. that teams like Georgia, Ohio State and Alabama have placed in going out west.” Ohio State separates itself Ohio State continued to distinguish itself from its Big Ten rivals on the recruiting trail.

Red Sox, Yanks, Cubs sent 2019 luxury tax bills NEW YORK (AP) — Boston will pay a Red Sox record $13.4 million luxury tax after failing to make the playoffs and the New York Yankees ﬁnished with a $6.7 million bill, likely a fraction of what they will pay next year. Three teams owe tax, according to end-of-year ﬁgures sent to clubs Wednesday and obtained by The Associated Press. The Chicago Cubs must pay $7.6 million following a season that ended with a September fade and no postseason berth. New York has run up a total of $348 million in tax since the payroll restraint system began in 2003, owing money in each year except 2018. The Los Angeles Dodgers are second at $150 million, followed by the Red Sox at $50 million and the Cubs at $11 million. This year’s initial tax threshold was $206 million, counting payrolls by average annual values and including earned bonuses, adjustments for cash transactions, option buyouts and just over $14 million per team in beneﬁts. Among regular payrolls, which include salaries, prorated shares of signing bonuses and earned bonuses, the Red Sox topped the major leagues for the second straight season at $228 million. The Yankees were next at $226 million, followed by the Cubs ($220 million), World Series champion Washington ($205 million) and the Los Angeles Dodgers ($205 million). Five of the top 10 spenders missed the playoffs, with the Red Sox and Cubs joined by San Francisco ($183 million), the Los Angeles Angels ($166 million) and Philadelphia ($161 million). Just two teams from the dozen lowest payrolls reached the postseason. Tampa Bay (last at $67 million) defeated Oakland (26th at $96 million) in the AL wildcard game, then lost to Houston in a ﬁve-game Division Series. Overall spending on regular payrolls dropped for the third straight year, an aberration caused by large signing bonuses for Mike Trout, Alex Bregman, Jacob deGrom, Paul Goldschmidt, Clayton Kershaw, Manny Machado and A.J. Pollock. Those bonuses are prorated over the length of each contract, and payrolls totaled $4.219 billion, down from $4.227 billion in 2018 and $4.245 billion in 2017. But teams set a record at $4.7 billion in the computation by average annual values, an increase of $157 million that follows the longer-term trend. That came after an offseason when the clubs committed $3.88 billion in guaranteed money, their biggest spending spree ever. Atlanta, Cincinnati, Colorado, Houston, Milwaukee, Oakland, San Diego and St. Louis had their highest AAV payrolls. Among regular payrolls, which better display year-to-year shifts, Detroit dropped from $191 million in 2017 to $133 million in 2018 to $117 million this year. Baltimore cut from $167 million in 2017 to $137 million in 2018 to $83 million this year. Toronto fell from $165 million in 2017 to $157 million in 2018 to $120 million this year, and Kansas City from $154 million in 2017 to $127 million in 2018 to $102 million this season. Under new CEO Derek Jeter, Miami shaved from $117 million in 2017 to $90 million in 2018 to $76 million this year. �CLASSIFIEDS 4B Friday, December 20, 2019 Daily Sentinel NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS Tuppers Plains-Chester Water District - Filter No.3 and Haga Ridge Booster Station Sealed bids will be received by Tuppers Plains-Chester Water District at 39561 Bar 30 Road, Reedsville, Ohio 45772, until Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 10:00 AM local time, and then and there publicly opened and read for the WTP Filter No. 3 Improvements and Haga Ridge Booster Station Improvements.
