PORTSMOUTH- Two Wheelersburg man accused of the rape of two children last year have been sentenced after pleading guilty.

Travis T. Risner, 24, pleaded guilty to rape, a first-degree felony, Wednesday, March 27, in Scioto County Court of Common Pleas. He stood accused of raping a 3-year-old and a 10-year-old.

Risner was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison at the same court appearance.

The original charge was the result of an investigation by Scioto County Children’s Services, which notified the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office. Risner was suspected of the rape of the 3-year-old and taken to the sheriff’s office for questioning. During the investigation, it was found there could be another victim, a 10-year-old.

Risner was arrested March 9, 2023.

The guilty plea means Risner will not go to trial on April 15 as originally scheduled. It also means the children will not have to testify to the court.

Risner will be required to register as a Tier III sex offender/child victim offender for the rest of his life. He is currently lodged in the Scioto County Jail until transfer to state prison.

Also arrested on multiple counts of rape was Jonathan Gold, 31, who was arrested in January and pleaded guilty March 8. He was originally charged with 10 counts of rape of a child under the age of 10, which is a first degree felony, and one count of pandering obscenity involving a minor, a second-degree felony.

Gold was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. He will also be required to register as a Tier III sex offender for the rest of his life. If and when he is released, Gold will be on post-release control for five years.

Gold is also currently lodged in the Scioto County Jail until he is transferred into the custody of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.

His trial was to start Monday.

New documentary about Ohio River screened at SSU

Executive Producer and Ohio River Way Vice Chair presented “This is the Ohio”, a documentary about the Ohio River, at SSU last week.

PORTSMOUTH – “This is the Ohio”, a new documentary about the Ohio River, was screened at Shawnee State University last week. The film, directed by Morgan Atkinson, offers a look at the history, culture, challenges, and opportunities of our local waterway and its many river communities.

The film’s executive producer, David Wicks, was in attendance and took Q&A from the audience after the screening.

“Working on the film was a tremendous amount of fun,” explained Wicks. “Part of my job was setting up the 50-60 interviews that made it possible…This is my third movie with Morgan. We have focused on water-related topics and sustainable living. We have found that the largest problem with the river is perception.”

The film stresses that while the Ohio River is far from perfect – it is a heritage shared by the population of each community along its banks. Wicks says that more people need to utilize the river and become advocates for its protection.

“Yes, it is dirty at times. Yes, some of the factories that pollute the river need to curb that. But the river is cleaner than you think,” said Wicks. “People are not going to raise money for something they aren’t invested in. If we really want to restore it – and think our water quality is important – people have to be engaged with the river.”

Dozens of students and community members attended the screening, which will be available on PBS and KET (Kentucky Educational Programming) soon. First Ward Councilman Sean Dunne spoke after the screening.

“I thought the film was great,” said Dunne. “This is the first time I’ve seen it and I think it really tells a good story about the Ohio River and calls attention to it.”

Wicks is the Vice Chairman for the Ohio River Way, a non-profit organization dedicated to working with state and local entities to celebrate the natural, cultural, and historical assets of the river while conserving and utilizing its natural beauty. More information can be found at ohioriverway.org.

“My big hope is that viewers will think about the water, think about the river, and think about their role in keeping it clean. I hope they encourage their local leaders to do something. I think water quality is really a local issue…Part of conservation is talking to local folks who run these cities and towns and communities.”

“But the most important message is this – enjoy the river. Get out and enjoy it. If it causes people to do that, the film has fulfilled its purpose.”

Ribbon Cutting held at Oddfellows

Owners Maddie Burnside and John Kehoe celebrated the ribbon cutting of Oddfellows last week. Oddfellows, located at 526 Chillicothe Street in Downtown Portsmouth, features wood fired pizza, unique drinks and apps, an arcade, duck pin bowling and more.

PORTSMOUTH – Last week, the Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting at the brand-new restaurant Oddfellows Pizza and Pins on 2nd Street.

Oddfellows, owned by Maddie Burnside, opened officially in December and has been the hottest restaurant in town during that time. Featuring wood fired pizzas, unique salads, upscale appetizers, trendy cocktails, an arcade, and even duck pin bowling, the establishment has been the talk of Portsmouth.

“We’ve been open about 3 months now,” said Burnside. “It started what seems like a long time ago. It’s been fun and very rewarding. It’s nice to see the public support us so well. We have a great staff and everything is coming together really nicely.”

Originally, Burnside and her late husband Jeremy envisioned the location offering beer, wine, and cigars. But his untimely death caused her to pivot.

“It was scary moving away from that vision,” admitted Burnside. “A restaurant had not even crossed my mind until I met my fiancé Jay (Kehoe).”

“I didn’t know Jeremy,” said Kehoe. “I heard alot about him from the community. But the way she talked about his vision and the work he put into the building –alot of the ideas in this building stay true to him as much as possible. We thought, ‘how do we bring more people to town’? A restaurant and bar is a good way to do that.”

The interior of Oddfellows features two murals – one to memorialize Jeremy Burnside – and the other of the building’s original owner, Milton Kennedy. Kennedy was a grain merchant and underground railroad conductor in Portsmouth in the 1800s.

“All along, we asked ourselves what Jeremy would want to see,” said Burnside. “He always wanted Portsmouth to be a destination. He always wanted to get rid of the bad publicity. That was his vision. And now, people come in and saying they feel like they are dining in the Columbus Short North district right here in Portsmouth.”

In addition to embracing the history and culture of the building, owners Kehoe and Burnside have cooked up a unique menu – especially for the Portsmouth area. Offerings include fresh oysters, bone marrow, local artisan mushrooms provided by Appalachia Unveiled, and much more.

“Maddie, myself, and Chef Drew Thockmorton really had a hand in the menu,” said Kehoe. “We love being able to have seasonal offerings and doing cool unique things.”

“This is a really cool environment with good fresh food, fresh drinks and cocktails, its a really nice spot,” said Oddfellows General Manager Terry Stevens. “Many people say they would have to travel two hours to see another place like this. Word of mouth is huge in Appalachia, so we try to give a positive experience and great customer service for every guest.”

The arcade and duck-pin bowling also gives guests another layer of activity in the space.

“It’s been a hit. It’s retro, it’s old, and its easy for everyone to play. We also have special rental packages for the lanes.”

Burnside and Kehoe are in the process of renovating the second floor as an event space. Next month, Friends of Portsmouth will host a comedy night to kick off the new space.

“This is the best food you can find in Portsmouth. We really hope the public comes and checks us out,” said Kehoe.

UK AD: Calipari will return as coach

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — University of Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart confirmed on social media that John Calipari will return as men’s basketball head coach — despite calls for his firing following the Wildcats’ third consecutive early exit from the NCAA Tournament.

Barnhart posted on Tuesday night on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he and the Hall of Fame coach have talked about the direction of the men’s program.

He posted: “I can confirm that he will return for his 16th season as our head coach.”

Kentucky was seeded third in March Madness, but fell 80-76 to No. 14 seed Oakland in the first round on Thursday.

This latest loss in Pittsburgh came a year after the Wildcats were ousted in the second round, and two years after they were upset as a No. 2 seed by 15th-seeded Saint Peter’s in their NCAA opener.

Kentucky’s quick exit drew immediate calls for Calipari’s firing on sports talk shows and social media, with many criticizing his reliance on so-called “one and done” freshmen and Kentucky’s defensive weaknesses.

Calipari’s dismissal would’ve triggered a $33 million buyout — under terms of a lifetime contract signed in 2019.

The coach, for his part, sounded like someone intending to return during his season-ending radio show on Monday night — as he reiterated his love for players and the state.

He also hinted at retaining his roster combination of talented freshmen and experienced players through the NCAA transfer portal — albeit with more beef.

“We’ve just got to get the right transfer,” he said. “We’ve got to keep coaching these young kids. We’ve probably got to use the summer a little bit different because of where this has all gone. We’ve got to get more physicality, more time in the weight room. … But on top of that, we’ve got to first of all see who’s going to be here from this roster. And who won’t be here.”

Georgia defeats OSU in NIT quarters

COLUMBUS (AP) — Noah Thomasson scored 21 points, Frank Anselem had 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Georgia defeated Ohio State 79-77 on Tuesday night to advance to the NIT semifinals.

Thomasson shot 8 of 16 from the field, including 4 for 11 from 3-point range, and went 1 for 3 from the line for the Bulldogs (20-16).

Blue Cain added 17 points while going 5 of 13 from the floor, including 4 for 9 from 3-point range, and 3 for 3 from the line while he also had eight rebounds.

Jamison Battle led the Buckeyes (22-14) in scoring, finishing with 22 points and eight rebounds.

Ohio State also got 13 points and 10 assists from Bruce Thornton.

Felix Okpara finished with 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks.

Thomasson scored seven points in the first half for Georgia, who led 36-35 at the break.

Thomasson scored a team-high 14 points in the second half.

WEST PORTSMOUTH — For the young Green Bobcats, trailing the host West Senators 4-0 following three innings on Monday, they just came to a stark realization.

Or, at least in the words of fourth-year head coach David Shoupe they did.

“I just think we were timid coming off the bus, playing Portsmouth West, which is a bigger school. They finally realized fourth inning that they are guys just like us,” said Shoupe. “So we’re going to go compete.”

Not only did the Bobcats go compete, they seized control of the Senators —waking the bats up in the fourth inning, and making standout defensive plays down the stretch.

As a result, in a non-league early-season baseball encounter at The Rock at West High School, the Bobcats rallied for five runs on six hits in the fourth —and held on to down the Senators 6-5.

Green is now 2-0, having rolled Rock Hill 13-2 in five mercy-rule innings on Saturday —with six-foot and four-inch sophomore standout pitcher Jon Knapp striking out 10.

West was already 2-0 entering Monday —having swept non-league Fairland (5-2 and 6-2) from the Ohio Valley Conference in Brady Knittel’s coaching debut on Saturday.

On Monday, West went up 4-0 following three, escaping a pair of rundowns and actually scoring two of those four runs — when the Bobcat fielders overthrew a throw to the plate.

But in the fourth, and with one out, the Green floodgates opened —as they banged out six hits, including five in a row which ultimately catapulted them into a 5-4 lead.

More on that momentarily.

In the sixth, and sandwiched around only a two-out West’s Will Kegley walk in the fourth and fifth, the Bobcats bolstered an insurance marker —a two-out infield single by Gabe Blevins, who scored from first on an RBI-double to left field from Landon Kimbler.

Turns out that run was indeed necessary.

With one out in the sixth, the Senators sandwiched a Bryson Kessinger walk around Max Rapp and Wesley Cooper singles, but Blake Smith caught a Kegley fly ball in centerfield — and fired an on-target direct dart to the catcher Blevins, who applied the tag.

In the seventh, and with West’s top of the order up, Kimbler —in his third inning of relief of senior starter Nathaniel Brannigan —walked Reece Coleman to lead off.

But Blevins caught Coleman stealing, then made the pop-out catch of a ball off the bat of Trevor Fike.

Isaak Tipton singled and Jakob Tipton walked, as Levi Pickelsimer singled to center —and scored Isaak Tipton.

However, Smith threw another rocket in from centerfield, and this time Knapp had raced over from first base to cut it off.

An aware Knapp flipped the ball almost point-blank to third baseman Braxton Conschafsky, who tagged out Jakob Tipton to end the game.

Kimbler gained the save —despite allowing four hits and three walks and a wild pitch with two strikeouts.

Brannigan pitched the first four frames and earned the win, as he allowed three earned runs on three hits and three walks with a wild pitch and two Ks.

For the Bobcats, those inning-ending —and game-saving —outs made their early-inning execution a distant memory.

“Today, we just battled. We had a lot of hiccups. With some of our defensive mistakes they got out of and scored on, and at that point, it’s easy to fold. But our guys kept their composure, came back, started putting some pressure on them, put some balls in play and the next thing you know, it’s a 6-5 victory,” raved Shoupe. “We made some big defensive plays late. Blake Smith’s throw from center to home was amazing. Excellent throw, and our catcher Gabe (Blevins) did a great job keeping his nose in it too, making that tag. Then the last inning, Jon (Knapp) was a little late getting to the cut, but he got there and we made the final out. Both of our pitchers threw strikes today, but we preach to let them (opponent) hit it and let’s play defense.”

Knittel, a 2014 West graduate now coaching at his alma mater after assisting his brother Anthony at Minford, knows his Senators’ execution late let them down.

“Green just battled, we jut got complacent, and we didn’t execute after the first three innings. Green battled back and beat us. That’s what good teams do,” he said. “We have to better. We have to make better jumps, better reads. I think all the decisions and the ideas and intentions of taking those bags in those situations were right, but we have to execute better.”

Early on, Pickelsimer pitched a perfect three-inning gem — retiring the Bobcats in order all the way through with five strikeouts.

But he walked Blevins to lead off the fourth, as with one out, Brannigan doubled, Knapp slapped a high swing for an infield hit, Smith doubled, Quincy Merrill singled down the right-field line for the tying runs, and Conschafsky singled to left.

Brannigan and Smith had RBIs in the spree — as Blevins, Brannigan, Knapp and Smith all scored for the 4-4 tie.

Finally, Green gained the 5-4 lead —when nine-hole hitter and designated hitter Mason Neal knocked a single to left, plating a feet-sliding Merrill.

In the fifth, Knapp singled with two outs, and Merrill drew a walk from Pickelsimer, but it wasn’t until the sixth off reliever Bryson Kessinger that the Bobcats built the 6-4 edge.

Pickelsimer pitched quite well —up until the 10 Bobcat at-bat in the fourth.

He faced 25 total batters, and gave up five earned runs on seven hits with two walks and struck out nine.

Perhaps, Knittel explained, he could have had more strikeouts.

“They battled at the plate. And if I recall right, a lot of those hits were with two strikes. Two-strike approach, just putting the ball in play and they found a hole and they batted around. The ball just fell where they wanted with two strikes and they put it in play,” he said. “That’s what baseball is all about.”

The Senators scored twice in the first —combining walks by Coleman and Pickelsimer, a wild pitch, a Fike sacrifice bunt, an Isaak Tipton sacrifice fly which crossed Coleman, and Jakob Tipton’s escape artistry of a rundown between first and second which eventually led to him scoring.

In the third, Fike smacked a ground-rule double, stole third, and scored on an unsuccessful fielder’s choice —combined with another overthrow error which tried to get him at the plate.

West went up 4-0 — when Pickelsimer doubled to left and drove in Isaak Tipton.

From there, though, the Bobcat bats came alive on the West side — and they straightened out the defensive curve-balls.

“We absolutely made plays. Again, it’s early and we’re still making those early-season mistakes, but I really like this team’s moxie. They go to work every day. Our non-league schedule is really tough this year, so we’re going to have to be ready and come to play,” said Shoupe.

The coach continued, praising his three seniors —Brannigan, Conschafsky, and Alec Thompson.

“Our three seniors have done a great job of helping me change the culture and just the expectations of winning,” said Shoupe. “That’s what we try to preach and that’s how we are.”

Green will host Clay on Wednesday for its Southern Ohio Conference Division I opener, while West will host Minford on Wednesday in the opener —and first-ever contest —for the SOC III.

Knittel said his Senators should be better —and that baseball provides a turn-the-page quickly mentality.

“It’s baseball, and it happens, but we have to execute better and have better energy. Just make better decisions at certain points of the game. Baseball IQ needs to be better moving forward. The good thing about baseball is tomorrow is a new day,” said the coach. “You flush it out, you tip your cap to Green because they were the better team today, and tomorrow is a new day.”
