Project Manager Chris Carson from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District explained that “tremendous strides” have taken place to move the stream bank stabilization project along, including the support from Mayor Don Anderson, Congressman Bill Johnson, State Rep. Jay Edwards, and Ohio Public Works Commission, among others. Carson noted that signiﬁcant ﬂooding earlier See MEETING | 5 COLUMBUS — A clemency hearing is scheduled for later this month in the case of a Meigs County woman convicted in the shooting death of her husband nearly 10 years ago. Paula S. Rizer, 61, is currently serving a prison sentence of 18 years-to-life following her 2010 conviction for the murder of Kenneth Rizer Sr. Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley conﬁrmed that Rizer has been granted a clemency hearing based on her claim of being a battered woman, something she argued at trial in a self-defense claim. The jury did not side with Rizer on the claim at trial, convicting her of murder in January Rizer 2010. Stanley will argue against Rizer’s petition for clemency at the hearing before the parole board. Family members of the late Kenneth Rizer Sr. may also be permitted to speak at the hearing. Paula Rizer and her legal representation are also expected to present testimony as to her reason she should be granted clemency. She is asking either for a pardon or commutation of sentence. A par- don is the remission of a penalty. It is an act of grace or forgiveness that relieves the person pardoned from some or all of the ramiﬁcations of lawful punishment. A pardon may be conditional or unconditional. Pardons do not erase or seal a conviction; a pardon forgives guilt. Commutation is the reduction of a penalty to one less severe. A commutation may be conditional or unconditional. Paula Rizer was charged with aggravated murder in the death and was convicted of murder during her second jury trial in January 2010. Rizer was acquitted on the aggravated murder charge in late 2009, with the jury deadlocked on the murder charge (11-1 in favor of guilt). She was sentenced to 15 years-to-life in prison with an additional three years on the ﬁrearm speciﬁcation. Kenneth Rizer Sr. was found dead in his recliner in the couple’s Lovett Road home in Lebanon Township on April 3, 2009. He was hit by ﬁve bullets, at least three of which were fatal, according to previous Sentinel reports. Paula Rizer claimed she was a victim of See CLEMENCY | 5 This September, learn to be prepared for an emergency Meigs County Emergency Management Agency MEIGS COUNTY — “Disasters Happen. Prepare Now. Learn How” is the 2018 theme for National Preparedness Month which began Sept. 1. National Preparedness Month was established in 2004 with the hopes of educating the population on ways to be prepare for emergencies and disasters. Disasters can strike in various forms including tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, winter storms and ﬂooding — all of which we have seen here in Meigs County. But what about other emergencies such as injuries to a family member, being separated from your child at an event or even a house ﬁre. Is your family prepared to deal with disasters and emergencies? Throughout the month of September, The Meigs County Emergency Management Agency in conjunction with Ready.gov will be offering information on how you can be prepared for emergencies and disasters by practicing some simple tips with your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Some of the areas we will be discussing are making a plan and practicing it, learning lifesaving skills, checking your coverage and saving for emergencies. One of the ﬁrst steps in disaster preparedness is having a way to be notiﬁed of an emergency event. In Meigs County, we have adopted the CodeRed warning system which can send weather alerts as well as custom alerts in times of disaster such as locations to go for assistance. Signing up for the CodeRed only takes a few minutes and can be completed by downloading the CodeRed App in the App Store and Google Play or by going to https://public. coderedweb.com/CNE/ en-US/21CD35D316F2 and ﬁlling out the information requested. You can also get all this great information along with severe weather and emergency updates by following the Meigs County Emergency Management Agency on Facebook and Twitter.

While I work hard as prosecuting attorney to punish those who prey upon our weak, and to facilitate the steps to recovery for those who desperately need it, I always wonder if there is more that I can do. I have hosted a recovery services town hall meeting. I attend prevention meetings. I read books and articles about prevention and recovery all the time. I talk to our youth about maintaining a sober lifestyle. I’m proud to have been a part of an amazing drug prevention program at the county fair this year. I pray. I pray for recovery and prevention and eradication. Some of my efforts are more successful than others, but I never stop trying, and I am always thinking about what else I can do. #recreatemeigscounty is the next thing I am trying. Some of our youth will become addicted to any number of drugs. The best way to keep them from becoming addicted and from going to jail or prison and from going to rehab and from overdosing and dying, is to expose them to the myriad prevention messages with the hopes that one of those messages resonates with them and they choose to never engage in drug abuse in the ﬁrst place. Some of our youth cannot wait to leave Meigs County for any number of reasons, and many do leave. Some come back, some don’t. The best way to keep them at home, to live here, to work here, to develop business here, is to instill in them at a very early age a love for Meigs County. I was recently asked how we keep the youth of Meigs County drug free. There is no one answer to that question, but one way is recreation. Those who recreate, those who actively engage in our community, those who ﬁnd passion and love for something they do, in my opinion, have a better chance of choosing and maintaining a path in life where they don’t engage in drug abuse. I was also recently asked how to keep our youth in Meigs County after they graduate high school, to work here, to raise a family here, to be engaged in our community, to help build a better Meigs County. There is no one answer to that question either, but one way is to re-create the image of Meigs County. Dispel the negative image and foster the positive image. Strive to change the negative things and highlight the positive things of our community. While running one evening, the idea of the hashtag #recreatemeigscounty popped into my mind. Recreate to stay drug free. Re-create the image of Meigs County to help us all grow in a positive direction. Recreate. Re-create. #recreatemeigscounty. So I thought if I posted to social media pictures of the many wonderful recreational activities available in our community, doing so might touch at least one child who might fall in love with that particular activity so much so that they would never let a drug steal that recreation away from them. And I thought if people see these positive images of our community, maybe, just maybe, those who hold a negative view of Meigs County will realize this is an amazing place to live, maybe businesses will move here, and maybe our youth will choose to stay here after high school, to work here, maybe start a business of their own, to start a family here. To live their lives here. To help Meigs County be the best Meigs County possible. I also thought maybe no one will care and this social media campaign won’t gain traction, and that’s quite possible. And that’s okay. But the thought that I could help just one person makes me think this is a pretty good idea. My hope is that folks on social media will start tagging some of their pictures and posts with #recreatemeigscounty so others can see why they are proud to live here. Taking a jog on the Pomeroy walking path? Playing guitar on your back porch? Reading a book you checked out at the library? Sitting in your tree stand as the sun rises on opening day? Playing a round of golf? Taking a hike through the woods? Watching a Friday night football game? Enjoying some BBQ chicken at the ﬁrehouse? Take a picture and give it the hashtag. Show others, that despite the reputation of drug abuse, there are many things in Meigs County to keep our youth drug free, and, at the same time, help re-create the image of Meigs County. Even if no one else does, I will periodically use the #recreatemeigscounty hashtag and hope it touches the heart, mind, and soul of that one person who needs it most. THEIR VIEW Thrive by Learning to Unlearn As a life coach the most common question I am asked by clients involves how to navigate life’s journey as if a detailed map is necessary to travel to the correct destination. A predetermined path; however, assures a set destination no more than an impromptu, obscure route. Why? Unknown scenarios unfold continually in an ever-changing universe, and for us to anticipate every outcome and attempt to predict the future precludes the element of surprise and divine inspiration that evolves with each decision, each interaction. Learning requires unlearning. If Christopher Columbus continued to believe, like most people in the 15th century, that the world was ﬂat, he would never have ventured out and discovered that the world was indeed spherical. Had Galileo held the popular belief of his time that the sun and planets revolved around the Earth, he’d never have discovered that the sun was the center of the galaxy. Had Homer Hickam believed he was a simple country boy from the West Virginia mining town of Coalwood, he wouldn’t have launched the ﬁrst missile from American soil. Growth in any area requires not just increasing one’s knowledge, but an open-mindedness to experience the ﬂourishing, creative energy of the newness life presents in each breath of childlike wonder. Growth is limited by old beliefs, so I encourage my clients to explore the path, alert for positive interactions allow the path to and opportuniunfold before us ties they may ﬁnd rather than forge they hadn’t ever straight ahead with considered.

We continue to conﬁrm what we already believe to be true, excluding all other possibilities. Emptying our heads of preexisting ideas of what we believe to be facts, is necessary to permit the brain to breathe — to allow new information to ﬂow into our awareness and infuse our cells with inspiration for an interesting, scenic journey. The man who lifts a car off his child who is pinned beneath it doesn’t stop and talk himself out of lifting the massive vehicle off his loved one. In an instant he forgets how much weight he should be able to lift and accomplishes the seemingly impossible. May you too forget what you know and thrive by doing so. May you always have upon your feet the best shoes in which to enjoy the journey, and may your view be a panoramic one as your ever-expanding perception culminates with the knowledge inside of you — whether innate or learned — through experience, our greatest teacher of wisdom. Enjoy learning to unlearn everything you’ve learned about yourself and your environment, so you can experience the freshness of life around you and the essence of who you are — no titles or labels, just a curious being experiencing and assimilating the unknown into the known every day.

(AP) — West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson is determined that his unit will not be the weak link in what has the potential to be a special season for the 17thranked Mountaineers. His guys are off to a promising start. The Mountaineers limited Tennessee’s offense to 301 yards and 14 points, and Will Grier threw for 429 yards and ﬁve touchdowns in a 40-14 rout of the Volunteers on Saturday. “There were questions people had about our defense and I think our kids responded,” Gibson said. Sometimes there are no questions at all. Gibson said when CBS television’s production crew came to meet with him during the week leading up to the game to prepare for the broadcast they only asked one question about his defense. The rest of the questions, he said, were about Grier and what it’s like to face the Mountaineers’ offense in practice. Gibson relayed that story to his defense before the game as “fuel for the ﬁre.” It seemed to work. The Mountaineers swarmed to the ball on the game’s opening possession, limiting Tennessee to minus-15 yards to force a punt on fourth-and-25. It wasn’t all great. West Virginia allowed two long touchdown drives —including one that last nearly nine minutes in the second quarter — but the defense didn’t allow any game-breaking plays. Tennessee’s longest pass play went for 22 yards. “We heard a lot about how West Virginia doesn’t have a defense and we took that personally,” said Mountaineers linebacker David Long. “We know what we have and we went out there and showed it. … It’s only the start.” Make no doubt it, Gibson is thrilled Grier and wide receivers David Sills and Gary Jennings are wearing West Virginia jerseys and he’s not having to spend time game-planning to stop them. But he added, “people don’t respect our defense for a lot of different reasons.” He knows part of that is a result of West Virginia’s struggles a year ago, where they allowed 445.5 yards and 31.5 points per game — which is 90th out of 130 FBS teams. “We’ve put that behind us and we’re moving on,” said Gibson, who returns eight starters on defense. Head coach Dana Holgorsen called his team’s defensive effort “pretty good,” but was not pleased with its inability to get off the ﬁeld in key situations in the ﬁrst half.

Bobcats will take the win, but still have plenty of areas to work on. “Well I’m pleased with the win, wins don’t come easy,” Solich said. “I don’t think we played especially well on either side of the ball. When you give up as many yards as we did, you don’t win football games that way. We have a lot of work to do defensively, no question about it. That doesn’t mean we don’t need things going on the offensive side too. “There were times we were getting 10 yards a pop and times we weren’t getting anything. Obviously they were blitzing a fair amount and when that happens you either get a big one or you don’t, and we didn’t get any big ones. As far as explosive ones, I don’t think we had one. I think we have an explosive football team we just didn’t see it today.” Howard earned a 645-to-423 advantage in total offense, including a 484-to-277 in the passing game.

Meyer back with Buckeyes COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer returned to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Monday for the ﬁrst time in a month, arriving before dawn for a staff meeting. Under the terms of his suspension by Ohio State , Meyer can be on campus, talk to assistants and conduct practice, but he is required to disappear for the 24-hour period surrounding the next two games. He’ll be back on the sideline for the Sept. 22 home game against Tulane. Players were off Monday so Meyer won’t see most of them until practice Tuesday afternoon. “Coach came back today, we had a meeting early this morning, he met with of the players, so things are back to normal,” acting coach Ryan Day said during his news conference. “Obviously he won’t be there for game day, but everything else is back to normal.” Day was put in charge when Meyer was put on paid leave and then suspended by the university for his mismanagement of nowﬁred assistant coach Zach Smith, who was accused of domestic violence and other troubling behavior.

Zamon Robinson earned a game-best two sacks, while Allison Marcell recorded nine solo tackles for the Howard defense. “Howard won games last year, they have good personnel,” said Solich. “I think they’ll win games this year. What I was hoping for out of our offensive line was that they would control the line of scrimmage, have some explosive runs and dominant the running game. I don’t think that happened through the course of the game. We’ll take a look at it and see what we have to do.” The Bobcats will have a week off before invading Virginia on Sept. 15 for a battle with Cavaliers.

Browns O-line still in limbo BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Joel Bitonio doesn’t know if he’ll play left tackle or guard in Sunday’s opener. “I just do what I’m told,” he said. No one has told him anything. Cleveland’s offensive line remains in limbo — and mysterious — just days ahead of a Week 1 matchup with the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Coach Hue Jackson, who last week said he may shift the left side again, refused to disclose any plans following Monday’s practice. “Right now, it is the way that is has been,” said Jackson, who slid Bitonio from guard to tackle during training camp. “Nothing has changed in that way. We have a week. We do not play until Sunday. We are going to ﬁgure it out and put the best ﬁve guys out there.” Jackson said he “has a pretty good idea” of what he wants to do, but he’s not ready to share his strategy publicly — or, it seems, with his players. Bitonio laughed when asked if he’s still a left tackle. “That’s a good question,” he said. “I think coach is going to come back Wednesday and give us a deﬁnite answer. I’m ready for both, though. Whatever they put me at, I’m ready to go and play some football ﬁnally.” The Browns knew left Paul Sancya | AP file Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Desmond Harrison (69) defends the line as Detroit Lions defensive end Anthony Zettel (69) rushes during the first half Aug. 30 in Detroit. The Browns could be shaking up their offensive line again. With the season opener against Pittsburgh just a week away, coach Hue Jackson said Friday that “all avenues” are open with his offensive line, which has been in flux since 10-time Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas retired after last season. Jackson reiterated he wants the “best five guys out there” and he said undrafted rookie Desmond Harrison could be in the mix. tackle would be a major issue after 10-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas retired in March. The team gave former right tackle Shon Coleman and rookie Austin Corbett a crack at taking Thomas’ old spot before switching to Bitonio, who did well during three exhibition games at a position he hadn’t played since college. Now, Bitonio might go back to guard and replace Corbett with undrafted rookie Desmond Harrison starting at tackle. It’s hardly an ideal scenario to be so unsettled this close to the opener. “I wouldn’t say it’s awkward,” Bitonio said. “I think it’s just trying to get the best ﬁve guys out there and it’s taking a little more time than we would have hoped.” The 6-foot-6, 295pound Harrison has emerged as an option in recent weeks following a solid camp. Harrison played at Texas before sitting out two seasons and transferring to West Georgia. “He has improved,” Jackson said. “It gives you another option to look through to see who are the best ﬁve guys to put out there — him, (OL Gregg) Robinson. Robinson has improved. I have seen a lot of good things over the last week and a half. My job is to make sure that we put the best players out there, period. Whatever position it is, that is what we are supposed to do. In those situations, that is what we are going to do.” Bitonio said Harrison is the team’s most athletic lineman. “He can move, man,” Bitonio said. “He’s athletic. He has the length. He has the size. He’s the prototypical left tackle when you think of a left tackle. He’s like 6-6, long arms, can get back and set. He’s done some good things. I know he hasn’t played against the ones (starters) all the time but when he’s been out there he’s made some good plays. We’re just making sure he has the right mindset and understands what he’s doing every play.” Steelers ready for Conner to carry load PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin doesn’t know when Le’Veon Bell is going to show up for work. Maybe it’ll be in time for the Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro running back to be ready for Sunday’s season opener at Cleveland. Or maybe Bell will skip a week to send one last message about his frustration over not being able to sign a longterm deal during the offseason. Or maybe Bell will wait until early November to sign his one-year franchise tender , a move that would cost him millions in lost salary up front, a windfall Bell hopes to recoup when he hits free agency next spring. Tomlin insists he has too much going on getting ready to chase a third straight AFC North title to keep checking Bell’s locker for evidence of his arrival. “When he gets here, that’s when we’ll start quantifying Le’Veon Bell-related things,” Tomlin said Tuesday. Though Tomlin has been in contact with Bell during Bell’s lengthy sabbatical — the three-time Pro Bowler’s last appearance with the team was during a playoff loss to Jacksonville in January — Tomlin has no idea what to expect whenever Bell signs the contract that will make him both the highest-paid running back in the league and start the countdown to his departure in 2019. So Tomlin declined to get into speciﬁcs about how long it might take for Bell to get ready to play after not practicing for eight months. Could be a week, as it was last year. Could be longer. “Right now, (I’m) singularly focused on the guys focused that have been here,” Tomlin said. Second-year running back James Conner chief among them. The former Pitt star made signiﬁcant strides during training camp. Following an uneven rookie season in which he dealt with various health concerns — life happens. fast. including a knee injury in December that landed him on injured reserve — Conner’s rise over the spring and summer left his teammates conﬁdent and his head coach impressed. Asked if he’s more comfortable with the depth behind Bell than he was heading into the 2017 opener, Tomlin said yes. When asked why, Tomlin simply replied “James.” “The status and condition and the approach of James,” Tomlin said. “We had a rookie that missed a lot of time due to soft tissue injuries and lack of general readiness to a guy that’s done the things that we’ve outlined.” The Steelers drafted Conner in the third round in 2017, capping a remarkable 18 months in which he recovered from a cancer diagnosis in November 2015 to become the ACC’s alltime leading touchdown scorer at Pitt. Conner tweaked his hamstring on the ﬁrst day of rookie minicamp shortly after being selected and only showed ﬂashes of the player who ran for 3,733 yards and found the end zone 56 times for the Panthers. Conner ran 23 times for 144 yards while occasionally spelling Bell last season. Now he ﬁnds himself atop the depth chart until Bell arrives. Conner looked the part of a starter during the preseason, running for a team-high 100 yards, including a bruising 26-yard touchdown run against Green Bay’s starting defense. Conner has also drawn raves for his improvement as a receiver out of the backﬁeld — a weakness last summer — and his work in pass protection. “If we start off with James, I think we’ll be ﬁne either way,” guard Ramon Foster said. “He’s a guy that’s made strides. He’s made us conﬁdent in him. So he gets the start, we roll with him. No disrespect to (Bell), we’ve got to move. This is a moving train.” OH-70074012 MLB Daily Sentinel OH-70075279 MEMBER Eastern: Mason Dishong Junior #54 4 tackles, and Dominated the offensive line.
