The “inmate was unresponsive, blue in the face and lips and did not have a pulse nor was he breathing,” according to a report on an overdose late in the evening of Feb. 18 at Pickaway Correctional Institution. The next night, an inmate was found “laying on the ﬂoor of bathroom with eyes closed, covered in vomit,” another report said. The documents, obtained by The Associated Press through an open records request, don’t name the drugs the inmates used, but say guards administered the anti-overdose drug naloxone to revive them. Naloxone is typically used to revive people overdosing on opioids like prescription painkillers and heroin. Ohio prison ofﬁcials say multiple overdoses in such a short period at the same prison is unusual, but say the state’s opiate epidemic is also inside prison walls, which is why they keep the antioverdose drug stocked. “Contraband does ﬁlter in. That’s why we have these tools,” said Stuart Hudson, the prison agency’s health care and ﬁscal managing director. Overdoses behind bars have become an issue as the country’s painkiller and heroin epidemic has worsened, though the problem is more closely associated with jails. Earlier this month, seven female inmates overdosed at the Fayette County Jail in southwestern Ohio. In New Hampshire, on a single weekend in January three inmates overdosed in the state prison for men in Concord and a fourth overdosed and died at a New Hampshire prison halfway house in Manchester. Ofﬁcials used naloxone on two of the three inmates in the men’s prison. Drug overdoses are among the leading causes of deaths in California state prisons, killing an average of 17 inmates each year, according to a 2016 report by a federal court-appointed receiver who oversees the system as a result of a long-running lawsuit over inmate health care. An investigation is underway to ﬁgure out where the drugs came from that led to the overdoses at the Ohio prison 15 miles southwest of Columbus, said prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith. The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction takes the prevention and seizure of contraband seriously, she added. Hudson said most offenders enter with some kind of substance abuse problem that follows them during their time behind bars. Illegal drugs enter the prisons via visitors and staff and other ways, such as being thrown over fences, he said.

On Friday, a student mistakenly brought a toy cap gun to school, student had no malicious intent. “We take every situation seriously, and in this case it was a younger student making the mistake of bringing a cap gun to school,” Mace said. “The staff reacted in a swift manner to ensure that everyone involved was safe.” 740-992-6368 60716309 mmckinniss@civitasmedia.com causing a response from faculty and administration, according to Mace. “Rumors of a gun being brought to school have already begun to spread through the community, and we hope this will set the record straight” said Mace.

So what’s the big deal if the government shuts down again? With another funding deadline on the horizon, selective memory loss could have negative consequences for the Republican Party if there is another government shutdown. Any recollection about the Oct. 1-16, 2013 shutdown as a political positive for the GOP is misguided, at best. According to a Washington Post/ABC News survey taken in the aftermath, 81 percent of adults disapproved of the shutdown while just 17 percent approved. In addition, 53 percent blamed Republicans, compared to 29 percent who blamed President Barack Obama and 15 percent who blamed both sides equally. And that was at a time of divided partisan government. But arguably the biggest reason why Republicans didn’t suffer at the ballot box was because of a gift from the Obama White House. The rollout of HealthCare.gov was an unmitigated disaster and turned the national conversation away from Republicans on the Hill and toward Obama and a polarizing piece of legislation. Republicans gained seats in 2014 as a continued backlash against the Democrats, not because it was an endorsement of Republicans shutting down the government. This time around, there is more risk for the GOP because of the party controls the White House and Congress. But there is a deeper issue at play on the Republican side. A key motivator to preventing a government shutdown and its potential political consequences is a fear of a backlash in the next elections. But over half of the Republicans on the Hill don’t fear being in the minority. Members elected since 2010 have never experienced life in the minority. It’s easy to say you care about principle over politics without an understanding of what it’s like to not control what legislation comes to the ﬂoor, committee agendas and even investigations. If more Republicans had experience in the minority, it would probably be easier to get difﬁcult legislation passed. But Democrats shouldn’t get over-conﬁdent about the political fallout from a government shutdown. According to an April 12-18 poll by Quinnipiac University, 38 percent of registered voters would blame Republicans in Congress for a shutdown, but 32 percent would blame Democrats in Congress, so voters are letting the minority party completely off the hook. Fifteen percent of registered voters would blame President Trump. There is another reason why Democrats might not stand to gain as much from another shutdown: Voters aren’t that excited about government. According to the 2016 exit polls, just 6 percent of voters said they were enthusiastic (and another 24 percent said they were satisﬁed) with the federal government. In contrast, a majority of voters were either dissatisﬁed (46 percent) or angry (23 percent) with the federal government. If voters don’t hold government in high regard, it’s unlikely there will be a widespread backlash against it temporarily ceasing operation. That doesn’t mean Republicans are in the clear, particularly if a shutdown is extended and people stop receiving critical beneﬁts and services. THEIR VIEW Earth dances like nobody’s looking, but I am I never could do a jig to the choreographed exercises like Zumba, but I can tap dance across a meadow, feeling as coordinated as a bird prancing on a wire.

(A divided court later threw out major parts of the law.) One year ago: The city of Cleveland reached a $6 million settlement in a lawsuit over the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black boy shot by a white police ofﬁcer while playing with a pellet gun outside a recreation center. A panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled 2-to-1 that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had to serve a four-game “Deﬂategate” suspension imposed by the NFL, overturning dollops of paint onto a canvas, traipsing over an endless landscape of possibilities.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio judge has rejected a request to move the trial of two men charged in a 2015 house ﬁre that resulted in the death of a ﬁreﬁghter. But the Butler County Common Pleas judge said Monday the defense request to move the trial because of heavy pretrial publicity could be revisited as jury selection gets underway in November. Prosecutors allege homeowner Lester Parker solicited his nephew, William “Billy” Tucker, to set the ﬁre that resulted in the death of a Hamilton ﬁreﬁghter Patrick Wolterman. The ﬁreﬁghter died after falling through a ﬂoor of the burning home. The two men have pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and arson. The judge also denied a request to hold separate trials for the two defendants.

MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man convicted in the slaying and dismemberment of a neighbor has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. A Richland County prosecutor says 54-year-old Walter Renz was sentenced Monday in 62-year-old Patsy Hudson’s death. She was reported missing in July 2015 from her home in Mansﬁeld, about 80 miles (129 kilometers) southeast of Cleveland. Parts of Hudson’s body were found in February 2016 at various locations in the county. Authorities said Renz and co-defendant Linda Buckner, who earlier received the same sentence, plotted to steal from Hudson and traveled the country using her bank card. Assistant Prosecutor Brandon Pigg says Renz was convicted of charges including aiding and abetting aggravated murder and corpse abuse. Renz’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.

The Eastern softball team had 11 different players score at least one run on Friday night in Perry County, as the Lady Eagles rolled to a 20-4 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Miller. Eastern (12-2, 11-1 TVC Hocking) scored the game’s opening run before an out was recorded, as Sidney Cook singled home Ally Barber. With one-out in the ﬁrst inning, Cera Grueser drove in Emmalea Durst and Katlyn Barber, giving EHS a 3-0 advantage. The Lady Eagles broke the game wide open in the second inning, scoring 11 runs on the strength of 10 hits. Eastern’s lead grew to 15-0 in the top of the third inning, when Katlyn Barber scored on an Abbie Hawley sacriﬁce ﬂy. Aided by a pair of EHS errors, Miller (2-10, 2-8) scored twice in the bottom of the third. Eastern’s lead was up to 18 runs, at 20-2, in the top of the fourth inning, as the Lady Eagles combined one hit with four free passes and three errors. The Lady Falcons scored the game’s ﬁnal two runs, one in the fourth inning and the other in the ﬁfth. Sophia Carleton pitched two innings and earned the win, striking out one batter and hitting one. Alexus Metheney pitched the next two innings, striking out four, while allowing three unearned runs on two hits and four hit batters. Cook pitched the ﬁnal frame for EHS, striking out two batters, walking one and hitting one, while allowing one unearned run. Smith suffered the loss in the circle for Miller. Durst, a sophomore, led the way at the plate for the guests, going 3-for-4 with one double, four runs scored and two runs batted in.

Herd shows promise in spring scrimmage By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The old adage says that there really isn’t too much you can learn about a team from one scrimmage. As true as that may be in most cases, the Herd also came away with some answers as they get closer to the start of the 2017 gridiron season. There were plenty of positives to come away from Saturday’s annual Green-White football scrimmage, which was moved indoors to the Chris Cline Athletic Complex on the campus of Marshall University in Cabell County. The Herd — fresh off a dismal 3-9 campaign in 2017 — showed some real signs of improvement on both sides of the ball as the Green team (offense) and the White team (defense) took turns going against each group’s matching unit. The defense looked particularly impressive on Saturday after forcing a fumble and coming away with three interceptions while also keeping the Green team’s running game in check for the better part of the three-hour scrimmage. The offense, however, did show some ﬂashes on the ground — most notably a 40-plus-yard run by Keion Davis in the latter moments of the day. Davis had a handful of decent runs against an otherwise tough defense, but that late scamper certainly proved to be an exclamation point to a very productive day. Joseph Early also had a handful of decent gains on the ground with the second team offense, while quarterbacks Xavier Gaines and Jackson White also had a few some decent runs on either bootlegs or when pass protection broke down. Returning two-year starting quarterback Chase Litton showed why he will likely be a third-year starter this fall after connecting on a pair of deep touchdown passes to Tyre Brady, including one of over 40 yards on the ﬁrst offensive series of the scrimmage. Litton and the ﬁrst-team offense struggled a bit more to move the chains on short and mid-range routes, but the offense did have more than its fair share of positive moments — particularly with its young receiving corps. Marshall will be looking for some perimeter threats headed into the fall as ﬁve of the program’s top six receivers from last year are no longer with team. Willie Johnson got past two defenders and managed to hang on to a bobbled pass from Garet Morrell while scampering 30-plus yards for a score. Redshirt junior wide receiver Tyre Brady (8) hauls in a touchdown pass from Chase Litton during Saturday’s Marshall Green-White Scrimmage held at the Cline Athletic Complex in Huntington, W.Va. Nick Mathews also came away with a handful of yard-producing grabs on the perimeter. Former Point Pleasant standout and current redshirt freshman Cody Mitchell saw a lot of snaps with the ﬁrst team offense at tight end due to regular starter Ryan Yurachek sitting the scrimmage out. Mitchell held up well as a blocker and mustered a few catches with the ﬁrst unit. The defense, however, was clearly the bright spot of the See HERD | 7 EHS teams take 6th at Cavalier Invitational By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Eastern boys and girls track and ﬁeld teams both claimed sixth in the weathershortened Cavalier Invitational, hosted by Chillicothe High School on Thursday.

The Eastern baseball team picked up its sixth straight victory, on Friday night in Perry County, as the Eagles claimed a 14-4 decision over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Miller, which has now lost three in a row. Eastern (11-3, 10-2 TVC Hocking) failed to score in the top of the ﬁrst inning and Miller (4-9, 4-7) took advantage in the home half of the frame, going ahead 2-0, as Geil singled home Brown and Dishon. With one out in the top of the second, the Eagles tied the game at two, after back-to-back bases loaded free passes. Eastern took the lead — which it never relinquished — when Isaac Nottingham scored on a John Little groundout. With two outs in the frame, Kaleb Hill singled home both Colton Reynolds and Austin Coleman, giving EHS a 5-2 lead. Miller got one run back in the bottom of the third, but Eastern quickly added on to its advantage. In the top of the fourth, EHS scored three runs on one hit and three walks, and in the top of the ﬁfth, the Eagles crossed home plate four times on one hit, three walks and two errors. The guests were held scoreless in the sixth inning, but pushed their lead to 14-3 with two runs in the top of the seventh. Miller scored the ﬁnal run of Eastern’s 14-4 victory with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. EHS junior Josh Brewer was the winning pitcher of record, allowing one run on three hits and two walks, in 2.2 innings of relief. Little started on the mound and pitched one inning, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk. Reynolds pitched the ﬁnal 3.1 frames for EHS, allowing one run on three hits and one walk. Reynolds struck out a team-best three batters, Brewer was next with two strikeouts, while Little struck out one batter. Heltich suffered the loss on the mound for Miller, starting and pitching into the ﬁfth frame. Brewer led the victors at the plate, going 3-for-5 with three runs scored and one run batted in. Nottingham marked two singles for EHS, while Hill, Nate Durst, Mason Dishong and Brandon Hart each had one single. Coleman scored three runs, Reynolds, Hill and Ethen Richmond scored two apiece, while Nottingham and Durst each crossed home plate once. Hill had two RBIs for EHS, while Coleman, Little and Reynolds each drove in one run. Geil led Miller with four hits, two RBIs and one run scored. Both teams left nine runners on base. The Falcons committed three errors, one more than the Eagles. Eastern also defeated MHS on April 4, by an 11-0 count in Tuppers Plains. After hosting Grove City Christian in non-league play on Saturday, EHS will be back on the diamond on Monday, at Wahama. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

Using its own scoring system based on the speciﬁcs of a play and a drive, Marshall’s defense ended up winning the afternoon by a 64-16 margin on the scoreboard. Linebacker Artis Johnson made a very nice dive and grab on a pass popped up in the air early in the scrimmage, which yielded the White team’s ﬁrst takeaway on the day. With the exception of a pair of deep home run passes, the secondary put together a pretty solid outing in three hours of scored once in the win. Chloe Rine and Madeline Wallace each had one hit for the MHS offense, while Chappelean scored a team-best two runs. Eastern committed four errors and left ﬁve runners on base, while Miller had seven errors and seven runners stranded. The Lady Eagles also defeated MHS on April 4, by a 20-0 count in Tuppers Plains.

A handful of defensive starters, mostly seniors, were also held out of the scrimmage. Besides being able to go full-speed in front of close to 1,000 Herd fans, the brightest spot of the day was that no major injuries occurred during the three-hour long event. With the Green-White scrimmage now ofﬁcially in the books, the Herd has 19 weeks to get ready for the start of the 2017 campaign. Marshall will host Miami (OH) in the season opener on September 2.

Senior Dan Crozier (Ballston Spa, NY) added two hits in the victory for Rio. Cespedes ﬁnished 3-for-4 in the loss for Midway, while Wenning and Olson had two hits each. Quinones allowed six hits and ﬁve runs over ﬁve innings and suffered the loss. Rio Grande grabbed a 1-0 ﬁrst inning lead in game two thanks to a sacriﬁce ﬂy by Lewis, but the Eagles scored twice in the second inning - one scoring on one of the ﬁve errors committed by the RedStorm inside the ﬁrst two innings and the other on a single by Koy Lindsey - and never trailed again. The RedStorm did tie the game in the fourth at 2-2 on a two-out single by junior Ty Warnimont (Rio Grande, OH), but Midway scored three more times in the ﬁfth and twice more in the seventh to open up a 7-2 lead. As things turned out, the two seemingly unimportant insurance runs in the seventh turned out to be huge. Rio rallied for four runs in the bottom of the frame and had the would-be tying run in scoring position and the would-be winning run at the plate when the game ended. The RedStorm loaded the bases with one out and cut the deﬁcit to 7-3 on a groundout by junior Cody Blackburn (Amanda, OH). Junior Kam Herring (Heath, OH) followed with a two-run single and Crozier doubled home Herring to make it 7-6. Midway turned to reliever Conner Lindsay to ﬁnish things off, which he did by inducing Cluxton into a gameending groundout to shortstop. Junior Collin Powers started and took the loss for Rio, allowing ﬁve hits and four walks over 4-1/3 innings. Tyler Jones got the win in relief for the Eagles, despite allowing the four seventh inning runs. Croslin ﬁnished 2-for4 with an RBI, while DJ Lewis hit a two-run home run in the win for Midway. Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday when it hosts the University of Pikeville for a nonconference doubleheader in the 2017 home ﬁnale. First pitch for game one is set for 1 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — The University of Rio Grande softball team wrapped up the River States Conference regular season championship by sweeping a doubleheader from Point Park University, Friday afternoon, at Fairhaven Park. The RedStorm edged the Pioneers by scores of 1-0 and 3-1 in the twin bill, which was designated as the RSC’s Softball Games of the Week. Rio Grande extended its school-record winning streak to 25 consecutive games, improving to 36-6 overall and 14-0 in league play. Point Park dropped to 17-16 overall and 8-4 inside the RSC with the losses. By virtue of clinching the RSC’s regular season title, Rio Grande also punched its ticket to next month’s NAIA national tournament. Friday’s opening game was a pitcher’s duel between Rio senior Jenna Jones (Lancaster, OH) and Point Park’s Ashley Iagnemma. Jones took a no-hitter into the fourth inning, while Iagnemma tossed 5-2/3 no-hit innings until Rio sophomore Carly Skeese (Newark, OH) hit a solo home run to center ﬁeld to give the RedStorm a 1-0 lead. The Pioneers threatened in the home half of the seventh inning by putting the would-be tying run at third base with one out, but Jones fanned each of the next two batters to seal the win. Jones (10-3) allowed four hits and two walks while striking out eight en route to her 10th straight winning decision. Freshman Michaela Criner (Lancaster, OH) added a double in the winning effort for the RedStorm. Iagnemma suffered her sixth loss in 14 decisions, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out 11 in a complete game effort. Game two saw Rio Grande rally from an early deﬁcit for the victory. Jess Beitler led off the second inning for Point Park with a double and was replaced by pinch-runner Courtney Blocher, who eventually raced home on a sacriﬁce ﬂy by Alyssa McMurtrie to give the Pioneers a 1-0 advantage. Rio Grande tied the game in the top of the third when senior Kari Jenkins (Jackson, OH) led off with a single, junior Gabby Gregg (Ashville, OH) reached on an error, senior Cheyenne Hamaker (Hilliard, OH) bunted both runners into scoring position and senior Alex Stevens (Oak Hill, OH) followed with a runscoring single. That’s how things stayed until the RedStorm grabbed the lead in the sixth. Junior Tayler Arndt (Clyde, OH) doubled with one out and was replaced by sophomore pinch-runner Kelly Fuchs (Williamsport, OH), who scored the goahead run one out later on a double by sophomore MacKenzie Nichols (Columbus, OH). Senior Courtney Walk (Unionville Center, OH) came on to run for Nichols and scored an insurance run moments later on a single by Criner. Point Park put a runner at second base with no outs in the home sixth and put a pair of runners on in the seventh, but failed to dent the plate. Sophomore Kelsey Conkey (Minford, OH) improved to 16-1 with the win, allowing just three hits and a walk in a complete game effort. She struck out seven. Tiffany Edwards started and took the loss for Point Park.

In fact, Velasco and Wilcoxon won by identical 6-0, 6-3 scores —with Velasco winning at ﬁrst singles over Will Kreiger and Wilcoxon winning at second singles over Sophie Fulkerson. The Cavaliers were forced to forfeit at third singles, thus giving Gallia Academy another singles sweep. That was the ﬁrst forfeiture in any match to the Blue Devils this season. But Chillicothe swept the two doubles bouts, as the Blue and White won just two points in the process. At ﬁrst doubles, Miles Cornwell and Olivia Meadows were shutout victims (6-0, 6-0) against Chillicothe’s combination of Max Kreiger and Gabby Lapurga. Cornwell is the Blue Devils’ regular third singles player. At second doubles, MiKayla Edelmann and Katie Carpenter lost to Michael Herlihy and Lawrence Li 6-0, 6-2. The Blue Devils returned to the road, and returned to Southeastern Ohio Athletic League action, on Monday at Jackson. Gallia Academy leads the four-team SEOAL at 3-0, but the defending champion Ironmen are only one game back at 2-1. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 Blue Devils blank Dragons, 4-0 By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com PROCTORVILLE, Ohio — The Blue Devils’ revenge tour made a stop in Proctorville on Friday. That’s because the Gallia Academy High School baseball team, in avenging yet another early Ohio Valley Conference loss, shut out the host Fairland Dragons 4-0. The Blue Devils dialed up three runs on only one hit in the third inning, then John Stout’s solo home run in the top of the fourth added an insurance marker. Meanwhile, Gallia Academy ace pitcher Josh Faro threw a ﬁve-hit complete-game dominant shutout, amassing an impressive 13 strikeouts against only a pair of walks. Faro outdid Fairland ace Dylan Raines, as three of the Blue and White’s four runs were earned, while Raines walked only Cole Davis immediately after Stout’s home run. He struck out three in also going the distance. The win was important for the Blue Devils’ OVC championship hopes, as Gallia Academy —in winning its third consecutive contest —improved to 9-5 and 6-3 in the league. In addition, in all three return tilts in as many days, Gallia Academy avenged its three onerun league losses (2-1 to South Point, 5-4 to Fairland and 1-0 to Ironton). The Blue Devils doubled up South Point 8-4 on Wednesday, followed by capturing an 11-6 victory over Ironton on Thursday. On Friday, Faro doused the Dragons by twice striking out the side 1-2-3 — in the ﬁrst and ﬁfth innings — before retiring the Dragons 1-2-3 in their ﬁnal at-bat. He struck out two batters apiece in the second, third and seventh stanzas —and faced four batters apiece in the second and third frames. The Dragons did strand four runners at second base, as Raines and Zach Crawford collected two singles apiece.
