One man in
custody after
Sunday robbery
By Lindsay Kriz
Lkriz@civitasmedia.com
MEIGS COUNTY — One man is in custody
after an armed robbery Sunday at the Bale and
Eggs Store on State Route 684.
According to a sheriff’s report, at approximately
8 p.m. deputies responded to a reported armed
robbery at the store. Upon arrival, deputies spoke
with the clerk, who told them a male had entered
the store demanding money before firing a weapon
at the security system. A witness
at the scene also gave deputies a
vehicle description, which was sent
out to surrounding law enforcement
agencies.
Shortly after the vehicle description was issued, the Meigs County
Sheriff’s Office received a call from
Cremeans
the Athens post of the Ohio State
Highway Patrol, who said they had
spotted a vehicle matching the description given
at a residence on Thelma Road in Athens County.
Deputies with the Meigs County and Athens
County sheriff’s offices went to the residence,
where they located the vehicle and Kenneth Cremeans Jr., 26, who matched the description of the
alleged offender. Deputies took Cremeans into
custody at 10 p.m., pending further investigation
of the situation.
Cremeans has been charged with one count
aggravated robbery and is being held in the Middleport Jail on a $500,000 bond through Meigs
County Court.
Meigs County deputies were also assisted during the incident by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal
Investigation and Identification, Middleport Police
Department and the Pomeroy Police Department.
“The quick response from our dispatcher and
the information we got out about the vehicle
involved, the description, was one of the keys,”
Wood said. “Everyone responded quickly, and the
radio stuff really helped to track the individual
down. That was the essential thing.”

THEIR VIEW
2014: ‘Year
of the Recall’
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles U.S. recently expanded its recall of vehicles with defective and potentially deadly Takata manufactured airbags, which
can explode and shoot metal shrapnel at drivers
and passengers.
That includes the entire United States — a
much broader geographic area than its original
recall directed.
The decision was overdue. Pinpointing the
recall strictly to areas of a particular humidity
seemed foolish, since weather conditions change
and vehicles are driven to different parts of the
country, and was also asking for a public relations
nightmare.
But the Takata recall as a whole — namely, the
way it’s been handled by FCA — shows the automotive industry still doesn’t take safety as seriously as it needs to.
Chrysler has now recalled more than 3.3 million
vehicles containing Takata airbags. But it took
heavy nagging from the National Transportation
and Highway Safety Administration to get Chrysler to expand its recall, despite the fact that these
airbags in Honda vehicles are linked to the deaths
of at least five people and dozens of injuries.
The company should have recalled all cars with
the defective parts immediately. Though it was
only several months ago the industry was dealing
with General Motors’ massive recall because of
ignition key problems, Chrysler seems somewhat
tone deaf to the very issues that landed GM on the
chopping block with the public and Congress.
Chrysler’s original airbag recall was too narrow.
There’s a good chance some of those defective
cars, though registered in areas with low humidity, might travel for prolonged periods of time to
places with high humidity like Florida.
Such basic considerations should have been
taken into account.
Further, Chrysler won’t issue a real recall of passenger bags because there haven’t been any deaths
linked to them. It also stated their possibly defective parts “benefited from a more robust manufacturing process” than those in other companies’
cars.
Safety issues have been too much at the forefront of the automotive industry in 2014. These
companies must craft cars that are safe for people
to drive and have been rigorously tested, and they
must work with suppliers that take safety seriously.
There’s almost no car company that has not had
to issue major recalls. Just regarding the Takata
airbags, 10 major automakers have had to recall
more than 14.5 million vehicles since 2013.
To its credit, NHTSA has been on top of the
Takata recalls, performing much differently than it
did in its delayed response to GM’s massive ignition switch recall.
Consumers deserve peace of mind when they
get in their vehicles, and the Motor City should
lead the way with the most robust safety measures.

Police go where the crime is,
and at considerable risk to themselves. Surely, if their own comfort
and safety were all that mattered
to them, they would spend all their
time patrolling the poshest neighborhoods in America.
Police critics have taken Ferguson and Garner and have woven
them into a narrative of reckless
disregard for the lives of blacks.
After the grand jury declined to
indict in the Garner case, de Blasio referred to a “profound” crisis.
The numbers suggest the opposite:
As crime has declined — thanks,
in part, to rigorous policing —
police interactions with the public
have declined and have involved
fewer instances of the use of force.

has been a national fever. Now,
perhaps it will break. As Jaden
Ramos, the 13-year-old son of
Rafael Ramos, wrote in a heartbreaking Facebook post about his
dad, “Everyone says they hate cops
but they are the people that they
call for help.”
There is more wisdom in that
simple statement than in most of
the cable chatter, protest chants
and op-eds written in the wake of
Ferguson and the Garner case.
If we really want to reduce tensions between the community and
men like Officer Rafael Ramos, it
is imperative, first, to stop lying
about the police.

Marshall able to reach agreements
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Marshall
University has agreed in principle
with both athletic director Mike

“Doc” Holliday on new contract terms
that include increased compensation
and six-year contracts.
The exact terms of the contracts
will be finalized over the next several
weeks.
“We are indeed pleased to have
secured Mike Hamrick and Coach
Holliday as our athletic director and

Michael G. Sellards, chairman of the
Marshall University Board of Governors. “They have both done outstanding work in their respective jobs and

football player, Hamrick returned to
his alma mater as director of athletics
in July 2009. He has led a transformation of the university’s athletics

soccer complexes in the country. In
addition, with the new Chris Cline

one of the country’s finest collegiate
indoor athletic complexes, including a
120-yard football field and 300-meter
track, a sports medicine institute, an
academic center and a hall of fame.
Under Hamrick’s leadership, Marshall student-athletes have excelled in
the classroom. In the 2013-14 school
year, 157 Marshall student-athletes
were named to the Conference USA
Academic Honor Roll with grade
point averages of 3.0 or better, and 37

Jim Harbaugh vows ‘excellence’ at Michigan
Associated Press
Ending weeks of speculation, Michigan hired
Jim Harbaugh as its coach
Tuesday in hopes that its
former star quarterback
will lead the Wolverines
back to national prominence.
Husky voiced and grinning, Harbaugh called the
move the fulfillment of a
lifelong dream.
“Top to bottom, Michigan is about excellence, is
about greatness, and you
have my pledge that I will
carry forward the tradition
of excellence of the Univer-
sity of Michigan football
program,” he said at a
packed news conference,
introducing his family one
by one.
The famously confident
Harbaugh also declared:
“There are no turnarounds
at Michigan. This is greatness.”
Interim athletic director
Jim Hackett said Harbaugh
agreed to a seven-year deal
worth more than $35 million. He also received a $2
million signing bonus.
“Our guy came home,”
Hackett said.
The 51-year-old Harbaugh coached the San
Francisco 49ers to three
straight NFC championship games and San
Francisco lost the 2013
Super Bowl to a Baltimore
Ravens team coached by
his brother, John. After
the 49ers slipped to 8-8
this season and missed the
playoffs, he parted ways
with the team Sunday in
what both sides called a
mutual decision.
Now his name is the
buzz of the Big Ten.
“He’s basically Michigan
royalty right now,” said
former Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson,
now a Jacksonville Jaguars
running back. “He’s the
man right now. I think he’s
the Cardinal was a 41-point

had success at every school
he went to. I think it’s a
great fit for Michigan.”
Harbaugh went 58-27
overall as a college coach
at San Diego and Stanford,
including a 29-21 record in
four seasons with the Cardinal. He took over a 1-11
team when he was hired in
December 2006 and quickly turned the program back
into a winner and bowl
contender.
Harbaugh’s first Stanford
team went 4-8 in a season
