Angel Vance, 33, of Cheshire, has been summoned before the Gallipolis Municipal Court regarding the alleged actions of neglecting a donkey in her care to starvation, falsely posing as a representative of an animal rescue and allegedly taking a pair of horses. According to court records and information provided by justice system officials, Vance allegedly copied pictures on the Internet of a farm that was for sale in North Carolina and used those photos via social media during communications with a person from West Virginia. Officials said the photographs in question were allegedly used to falsely represent property Vance claimed to be maintaining as an animal rescue. Those photos were shown to persuade the individual into handing over two quarter horses of breeding and racing stock. The horses had been previously rescued from a breeder and the caretaker no longer had the means of providing for them. According to documents, Vance is alleged to have responded to a message on social media claiming to have the means to take care of the animals. Vance allegedly traveled to West Virginia to collect the horses and brought them back to Gallia County. The horses were then allegedly reported to a registry as being dead. According to the Ohio Revised Code section 2913.32(A),”No person, with purpose to defraud, or knowing that the person is facilitating a fraud, See CHARGES | 6A — NEWS Obituaries: 2A Opinion: 5A Weather: 6A — SPORTS Basketball: 1B Schedule: 1B Outdoors: 2B — FEATURES Television: 4A, 6A Classified: 3B Comics: 5B JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Hey, what’s this one for?” Jenny pointed to a round badge that had a bluebird on it. “Grandma, this is just like my badge. Did you learn about the flag and how to take care of it to earn your badge?” “Well, let me think. That was a long time ago, but I think it was something to do with bird watching. And that may have been the time we made the birdhouses, too. Oh, do you see this one here?” Grandma pointed to a badge that had a big ship’s anchor on it. “I got this one when we all learned how to paddle a rowboat out on the small lake behind my friend Lucy’s house. If I remember correctly, I think we spent more time in the water that day than we did in the rowboat!” Grandma thought for a minute and then said, “You know, that sounds right, but I just can’t remember exactly what we did to earn that one. I’m sure my old handbook is in here somewhere, too. It would have all the badges in there and list the things you needed to do to earn them. Why don’t we see if we can find it?” Jenny was still so surprised. She couldn’t believe that her grandmother used to be a Girl Scout. She had never thought about her grandmother being a young girl once upon a time, let alone being in Girl Scouts, too.

They Jenny exclaimed. had learned how to “Yes, the Girl Scouts have more than a century of history carry out a special flag ceremony, behind them,” Grandma too. said. C hapter Two: Grandma Was A Girl Scout? J enny lifted the green piece of fabric out of the trunk. It looked like a Girl Scout’s uniform sash, but it seemed very old. It had lots of round badges sewn on it and many different pins on it, too. “Oh, would you look at that. That’s part of my Girl Scout uniform that I had when I was young,” Grandma replied. Jenny was shocked, “You were a Girl Scout, Grandma? I knew Mom was, but I didn’t know they had Girl Scouts back when you were a girl!” “Wow, Grandma, I had no idea you used to be a Girl Scout like Mom and me.

Fortunately, understanding menopause and how to control it can help reduce these symptoms and keep you active, healthy and strong. Menopause is when a woman’s monthly cycle stops because the ovaries quit producing estrogen and progesterone, which make pregnancy possible. On average, women experience menopause in their early- to mid-50s, but both menopause and its symptoms typically affect each woman differently. There are a number of ways women can lessen the effects of this transition. A proper diet filled with the right vitamins and nutrients can help combat issues. Staying active, regular health screenings with your physician and not smoking are also valuable for remaining in good health. Pleasant Valley Hospital Women’s Services is here to help. We understand the unique circumstances that arrive alongside menopause, so we’ll work closely with you to make sure you’re managing your health in the best way possible. We are here to keep women in our community feeling strong and healthy through every phase of life. Whether you’ve not yet begun experiencing the effects of menopause or are well into your post-menstrual period, feel free to contact us today at (304) 857-6503.

From the auto rescue, which saved Ohio jobs, to delivering health care to thousands of Ohioans through the Affordable Care Act, to cracking down on Wall Street banks who cheat the system, we have achieved incredible victories for working people across our country, and our state, over the last seven years. And I am proud to have done my part for Ohio. But our work is far from over, and Sherrod I have no intention of slowing down Brown Contributing in 2016. It’s no secret that Washington Columnist doesn’t have the best reputation for getting things done. But the progress we made on tax cuts at the end of 2015 proves that we can still do great things for Ohio and for our country. We permanently expanded the Earned Income and Child Tax Credits for families with children — one of the biggest victories for working people in recent memory. These tax credits lift millions out of poverty, promote work, and put more of the money families have earned in their own pockets. But we can do more. And this year I am turning my focus to expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit for Ohio workers without children. Right now, a minimum wage worker putting in 40 hours a week can literally be taxed into poverty. That’s wrong, and we’ve got to change it. In my role on the Banking Committee, I fought hard to secure $2 billion for the Hardest Hit Fund, which helps clean up communities that were devastated by the housing crisis. Now, we have to keep working to make sure Ohio communities get their fair share of that funding. This week, the Agriculture Committee will turn our attention toward renewing the Child Nutrition Programs — which ensure Ohio children have access to healthy, nutritious meals while they are in school. But too many Ohio children go hungry during the summer months, when school is not in session. That’s why I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation to increase access to federal child nutrition programs year round. Making sure our children don’t go hungry is something everyone can support, and I am confident we can get this done. We also must make sure Ohio students have access to the education and training they need to land the jobs of the future. College affordability is shaping up to be a major priority in 2016, and I will continue working to crack down on for-profit colleges who make money at the expense of Ohio students. If a school is getting taxpayer dollars from Pell Grants or other federal aid, that money should be spent on educating students, not corporate advertising and marketing. That’s another bipartisan priority on which I think we can all agree, and just one of the ways I will be working to help more Ohio families afford the education they need to compete in today’s economy. These are just some of my priorities for the year ahead. Our to-do list is long, and I’m determined to continue cutting through the gridlock to find ways we can work together to deliver results for Ohio this year.

THEIR VIEW GOP candidates put in a tough spot By Kathleen Hennessey Associated Press WASHINGTON — Iran’s release of five Americans gives President Barack Obama the opportunity to deliver a harsh reminder to the Republicans wanting to succeed him: You can promise to pull back the hand I’ve extended to Iran and Cuba — nations the U.S. once cut off — but it won’t be easy and it may be lonely. As Republican candidates vow to rewind Obama’s rapprochements on their first day in office, many U.S. allies and business interests have pressed forward with outreach to Iran. The next president may find Iran has established itself as world player, a useful diplomatic power broker and a potential market for U.S. businesses. Vowing to isolate Tehran may only isolate the U.S. from many of its allies. Similarly, in Cuba, where Obama reversed decades of Cold War policy, American businesses are eyeing a new market while U.S. tourism is on the rise. Reversing the tide may prove as difficult as un-ringing a bell. “It’s easy to reverse the policies, it’s hard not to be isolated in the process,” said Jon Alterman, Middle East analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Can you force the rest of the world to see things the way you do? That’s a big question.” The diplomacy with Iran after decades of a divide fulfills Obama’s first inaugural promise “to extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” But Republicans argue Obama reached out well before Tehran eased its grip. Its missile program has violated existing U.N. prohibitions, it supports terrorist groups and it has remained a key ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, they say. But the weekend was a clear reminder of the forces working against the Republican contenders on Iran. The release of Americans — four of them negotiated as a prisoner swap alongside nuclear talks and one worked out separately — removed a key argument that the U.S. should not lift sanctions while Americans are being held. Meanwhile, the U.S. and other Western nations declared Iran had kept up its end of the landmark nuclear agreement completed last summer, triggering the removal of the billions of dollars in economic sanctions and beginning to open up the gates for international businesses. “These things are a reminder of what we can achieve when we lead with strength and wisdom,” Obama said Sunday. Republicans did not see the moment of as an achievement. While they gently praised the return of the Americans, they blasted the release of Iranian prisoners by the U.S. as part of the swap. “While we celebrate their return,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said of the released Americans, “this deal serves as piece of propaganda for both Iran and the Obama administration.” Cruz reprised his promise to “rip to shreds this catastrophic Iran nuclear deal.” Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said he saw “weakness” in the Obama administration’s dealings with Iran. “Let’s take a step back here,” Bush told a town hall meeting in New Hampshire. “The bigger issue is that we’ve legitimized a regime who shows no interest in actually moving toward the so-called community of nations.” In truth, the U.S. has not been alone in shifting its pose toward Iran, which is part of what would make undoing it difficult. The nuclear deal was negotiated alongside France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China, a coalition that managed to hang together through lengthy discussions and difficult domestic politics. Since then, Iran has joined in international talks seeking an end to the Syrian civil war. White House officials say they see those talks as a test of whether other conversations are possible. Some Republicans have acknowledged it may be difficult to cut off these ties. Bush has said “maybe we should check with our allies” before shredding the deal. Donald Trump, playing up his skills as a boardroom broker, has suggested he would renegotiate the nuclear deal. But others, including Marco Rubio and Cruz, have put tearing up the deal on their Day 1 to-do list. What would happen on Day 2 is unclear. In a global economy, imposing unilateral U.S. sanctions would have limited impact on Iran and could serve to disadvantage U.S. businesses. Iran has suggested businesses are waiting at the gates to engage — indeed, the transport minister on Saturday announced a deal with the European consortium Airbus to buy 114 passenger planes after sanctions are lifted. Rubio has warned U.S. businesses not to “gamble” on Iran, saying Tehran will inevitably violate the agreement, and if he’s in the White House he’ll ensure a harsh punishment. He’s made similar warnings about Cuba, cautioning U.S. companies that doing business under the current leadership would be difficult and expensive. Cuban officials have raised concerns about the Republicans’ promises to backtrack, saying that casts uncertainty over negotiations. But there’s little sign that the GOP rhetoric on Iran is slowing down Tehran’s increasing role as a player on the world stage. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Sunday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 2016.

The Lady Marauders combined for 17 defensive rebounds, 13 offensive boards, four assists, 10 steals and 36 turnovers. Nelsonville-York’s scoring attack was led by Jessie Addis with 20 points, followed by Kaitlyn Hurd with 17 and Camrin Dupler with 14. Sam Taylor and Jordan Fick both scored seven points, Mary Kate McCullouh chipped in with three, while Hanna Taylor, Kyla Henderson, Tori Campbell and Sidney Fick contributed two points each.

NYHS shot 18-of-33 (54.5 percent) from the free throw line and 26-of-56 (46.4 percent) from the field, including 6-of-20 (30 percent) from three-point range. As a team the Orange and Brown marked 27 defensive rebounds, 15 offensive rebounds, 13 assists, 25 steals, four blocked shots and 22 turnovers. “There’s a reason they are the best team in the league right now,” Cleland said of the Lady Buckeyes. “They play hard, they play solid, they play great defense and they get after it. They do a good job fundamentally.” Nelsonville-York — which has now won four out of its last five games — also defeated Meigs on December 10, by a 58-33 final in Athens County. MHS has now lost backto-back games, which comes on the heels of a stretch where the Maroon and Gold had won 7-of-8. “We have to do what we were doing when we won 7-of-8,” Cleland said. “That’s playing together and playing confident.

(AP) — Tony Stewart is a man at peace as he heads into the final season of his NASCAR career. He is satisfied with what he has accomplished and has no regrets about the three glaring holes on his resume. Stewart is also adamant that his struggles the last two years, on and off the track, have nothing to do with his decision to retire at the end of this season. The three-time NASCAR champion reiterated Thursday he will race in other series after this year — but not the Indianapolis 500, he insisted — and his decision to leave the Sprint Cup Series is simply about giving himself more free time to pursue everything that has been on hold the last three decades. “I’m still going to race, I just don’t know how much yet,” Stewart said. “The nice thing is I’ll have some flexibility to go do some other things I want to do.” Sunday, January 24, 2016 3B Tomcats 32 (37.5 percent) field goal attempts, including 2-of-8 (25 percent) from three-point From Page 1B range.

Ohio Valley Wildlife in Winter By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — As temperatures drop and snow falls on the Ohio Valley, many people are wondering how animals survive the harsh conditions and debate whether they should feed them. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, wildlife have adapted and learned to cope with the changing seasonal temperatures. Some grow thick coats and consume extra food to keep them warm. Other animals hibernate and some migrate. When an animal hibernates, its heart rate, body temperature and other life processes slow down, putting them into a kind of a “deep sleep.” Groundhogs are one of Ohio’s true hibernators, spending as long as five months in this state. Their body temperature lowers by almost half and their heart rate slows from 160 to four beats per minute. Animals such as skunks, raccoons, chipmunks and opossums may to go into a temporary hibernation during extremely cold periods and sleep for about five days. During this time they find shelter in trees, logs, beneath rocks or underground. Whether an animal hibernates or remains active, body fat is an important factor in an animal’s winter survival. Birds and mammals consume extra food throughout the fall when supplies are plentiful, building up body fat. When food is scarce, their bodies draw energy from fat reserves. Many of Ohio’s birds are migratory, and “go south” for the winter. For non-migratory birds such as cardinals and others who decide to stay, those few ounces of fat they have stored are not enough to get them through a harsh winter; their survival depends on finding food such as seeds and fruit. The ODNR advises, with the exception of feeding songbirds, that putting out food for wildlife can hurt more than help for several reasons: The unnatural gathering of multiple species to one food source can promote the spread of disease, waterfowl are vulnerable to outbreaks of botulism when artificially fed and animals can become dependent, putting them at risk when the food source is no longer provided. Instead, the ODNR recommends making your outdoors wildlife-friendly by planting trees that yield nuts and berries, and evergreen trees and shrubs to give animals protection from wind and rain. Leaving some areas of brush and thick patches of briers provide cover for small animals. Food such as corn, sorghum and millet are good sources of energy, and ODNR recommends planting these foods in areas the animals can naturally forage. Another reason not to feed wild animals in your back yard is they will assume your newly planted spring vegetable and flower gardens were made just for them. Those cute little rabbits and deer that looked so hungry and helpless this winter will become pests the rest of the year; they cannot distinguish between the “free meal” you provided them with in the winter and your tender spring plants that are off limits. Once Canada geese find a food source in your yard, they often decide to stay permanently — and they can be quite noisy and messy. Starlings are another “problem bird” if encouraged by winter feeding. As the snow falls and people are comfortable and warm in their homes, remember the wild animals and birds are much better equipped to withstand winter conditions than most humans. They are in their natural environment and wellintended efforts may have negative consequences for their well-being. Instead, take a few moments to enjoy the natural beauty of the Ohio Valley — and the animals and birds that inhabit the region.
