His bond is listed at $75,000 and as of Friday evening, he remained housed at the jail in Barboursville. A capias warrant was issued for his arrest on Oct. 21, 2014, in Mason County Circuit Court.

A security freeze essentially puts a lock on your credit so that most third parties can’t access your report. This helps protect you from unauthorized accounts being opened in your name. In Ohio, security freezes are permanent until you lift them. You can be charged a $5 fee per credit reporting agency to place or remove a freeze. Contact each credit reporting agency separately to place a freeze. Check your credit report at www.annualcreditreport. com. You are entitled to one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit reporting agencies. You can pull all three at once, or you can stagger pulling your reports throughout the year. Beware of scams related to the breach. For example, con artists may pose as a person from the organization that was breached to try to obtain your information. Calls claiming to pro- vide information about the breach may be scams. Consumers also should look for signs of possible identity theft, which may include:Unexpected mail, such as a bill for a credit card you never signed up for or a member agreement for a bank you’re not associated with. Credit card charges you never made. Unexpected collection calls. Another person’s name showing up in your background check. Credit reporting errors or a lower-than-expected credit score. Victims of identity theft should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Identity Theft Unit by calling 800282-0515. The Identity Theft Unit helps victims correct the effects of identity theft.

According to the Ohio Revised Code (4511.21), “Twenty miles per hour (is the speed limit) in school zones during school recess and while children are going to or leaving school during the opening or closing hours, and when twenty miles per hour school speed limit signs are erected.” Browning said drivers should know that the speed limit within a school zone is 20 mph during restricted hours, in zones marked on the roadway and in areas with signs posted with the restricted hours. The sheriff’s office is collaborating with the Ohio State Highway Patrol in the safety awareness initiative. Browning said his school resource officers recognized that there was a problem within the school zones and requested the mobile radar devices from OSHP. “This effort is to ensure the safety of our most valuable asset of all, our children,” Browning said. Browning added that the mobile radar stations will periodically rotate to each school in the county to promote safety in and around school zones.

For instance, just 28 years after the fall of Saigon, the United States invaded Iraq. By that standard, it’s been a mere blink of any eye since that bizarre weekend in mid-September 2008 when the U.S. economy teetered on the abyss dug by irrationally exuberant Wall Street bankers. The economy has only recently, but not entirely, recovered. But already efforts are well under way to repeat the mistake. The nation’s chief response to the Great Recession caused by the subprime mortgage crisis was the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law in July 2010. Wall Street succeeded in watering it down, but still it provided a firewall against a repeat of 2008. Money never sleeps. Wall Street quickly turned its attention to repealing Dodd-Frank piece by technical piece. The must-pass omnibus spending bill passed by Congress in December contained a provision largely written by CitiGroup lobbyists. It repealed a Dodd-Frank rule that said banks couldn’t foist off the risks of trading those exotic products called derivatives onto taxpayers. And last month, the House passed something called the Promoting Job Creation and Reducing Small Business Burdens Act. It should have been called the Getting Rid of Most of the Rest of Dodd-Frank Act. Should it pass the Senate, the White House says President Barack Obama will veto it. Consumer financial protection and reining in the excesses of big banks are issues that poll well, but most Americans aren’t tuned in to the dayto-day machinations of Congress. That’s why one provision of Dodd-Frank created a new agency called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Big banks would like to get rid of it, too. Congressional Republicans complain that the CFPB is too independent — “an unaccountable federal leviathan,” in the words of House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas. If a tiny federal agency is a whale, what is the financial industry? It’s true that the CFPB is funded by the Federal Reserve and run by a single director, not a board of directors. This became necessary because, as Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., speaking of the relationship between banks and Congress, once blurted out, “Frankly, they own the place.” In three years, the CFRB has made it harder for mortgage lenders to steer customers into highinterest loans, particularly for risky properties. It has required lenders to verify customers’ ability to repay mortgages. It has required lenders to work harder with delinquent borrowers to avoid foreclosure. It has cracked down on credit card scams. It has shined the light on the banking industry’s $30-billion-a-year overdraft protection fee gimmicks. Sounds like it’s doing the job it was intended to do. The CFPB has now set its sights on the payday lending industry. State laws are too lax, the bureau says, and at the very least payday lenders should be honest about the cost of the money they lend. The industry works by lending small amounts — usually about $500 — to people who otherwise would be unable to get short-term credit. In Missouri, the interest on short-term loans could go as high as 1,950 percent, figured on an annual basis. The typical payday loan in Missouri carries an interest rate of 455 percent. Not surprisingly, borrowers get into a cycle of debt, taking out a second loan to cover the first, a third to cover the second, etc., etc. The CFPB rules on payday lenders are expected early this year. By law, the bureau can’t cap interest rates but it can crack down on abusive and deceptive practices. Real reform in Missouri must come from the Legislature, where payday lenders have roughly the same “frankly, they own the place” deal that big banks have in Congress. State Sen. Kiki Curls, D-Kansas City, and state Rep. Don Gosen, R-Ballwin, have introduced bills in the current legislative session that would impose useful restrictions on the industry. If past is prologue, the bills won’t go anywhere. It will be up to the federal CFPB that Congress wants to gut to crack down on consumer financial abuses. That’s not how things ought to work, but until consumers pay attention and demand better from their elected representatives, that’s as good as it’s likely to get.

There are a tiny, and are, in short, an outrage lot of lawmakers who have very to democracy. Yet they’ve become little idea what it entails, either; a habit on Capitol Hill. Why? They’re convenient and concentrate power in the hands of the leadership. At a very basic level I’ve never understood why they’ve had such staying power. The regular order holds clear advantages for the majority of legislators. It’s more open, produces more accountability, and gives ordinary members a sense they’ve had a fair shot at influencing the course of national policy. This is no minor consideration. When the process works well, it produces better-quality legislation and pride in the institution, because members know they’re taking part in fair procedures. When members take pride in the work being done around them, they communicate that sense to their constituents. But reliance on mega-bills has imposed a great cost on Washington. Federal agencies cannot plan ahead. Government operations get disrupted. Uncertainty abounds. Backroom deals flourish. Secrecy pervades the process from beginning to end. Public confidence in government erodes. Members themselves feel shunted to the sidelines. It is hard to get voters focused on congressional process when they’re so focused on particular issues — how a candidate feels about climate change or abortion. But the plain truth is that the regular order enhances the chance that legislation that truly represents what’s best for Americans will emerge from Capitol Hill. Maybe one day Congress will come to believe this, too. Lee Hamilton is director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Plymale also gave Bowman $1,000 and two pistols, which Bowman kept in his own home. “I asked him where the money came from and he said to keep my mouth shut,” Bowman said. “I hid them in my guest bedroom and put the $1,000 in my wallet. I didn’t tell anyone where I got the guns or money.” The day after, Bowman parked his vehicle at the Silver Bridge Plaza and went to work for four days.

GALLIPOLIS — In observance Holzer offers free health screens Feb. 13 ever, it was later revealed that the detective who called, Michael Trout, used the lie to get Bowman back to Gallipolis to answer questions. Bowman revealed to BCI officers where they could find the pistols in his apartment and gave them $200, which was what was left of the $1,000 he’d been given by Plymale. At the time, Bowman did not reveal to officers that he had used the rest of the money to either buy heroin or pay people back for the heroin he’d purchased, but did reveal that he was high during the interview. Bowman was shown photos of the two guns and also his black AT&T Galaxy S phone, which he’d surrendered but used the week of Feb. 3, 2014. During cross examination, Bowman said he didn’t think that Plymale was going to rob the house that Bowman dropped him off at, but the thought crossed his mind, causing confusion during the cross examination. The defense showed about an hour’s worth of video of Bowman’s interrogation, and after a period of time, Bowman, in the video, finally gave Plymale’s name to police. Plymale testified to the defense Thursday that he and Sheets were pretty close, even after Sheets’ daughter, Sarita, and Plymale had separated. Plymale said that Sheets sent him at least two letters while he was in prison from 2009-2012 for drug possession of one half of an Oxycontin pill. During later questioning by the prosecution, it was revealed that Plymale was also serving time for fifth-degree felony theft, fourth-degree felony theft and a drug charge. Plymale testified that Bowman’s story about dropping Plymale off at Sheets’ residence was a lie, and that the entire afternoon of the murder, Plymale was at home with his children watching movies. Plymale said he took the guns to his storage unit, and the next day tried to sell some at work. Earlier in the day, Brandon Wilson, a former DAVID FABER, MD BOARD-CERTIFIED GENERAL SURGEON David C.

On Friday, Feb. 7, 2014, in the evening, Plymale and Hockman went to Plymale’s storage unit to retrieve one of the guns for sale. Hockman testified earlier that Plymale initially charged $450, but lowered the price to $400. Hockman said he didn’t have to pay Plymale up front, and both men returned to Hockman’s vehicle on the property. According to both men, not 20 seconds after Hockman had placed the gun in the back of his vehicle, police swarmed the scene and arrested both of them. During the last few questions asked by the defense, Plymale testified that he had never driven Sheets’ white truck, that he didn’t go with Bowman to Sheets’ residence and that he did not kill John Sheets. During cross examination, Plymale said that Noah Stevens, who managed the apartment complex where Plymale lived, was incorrect when he said that Plymale asked to rent a storage unit Feb. 3, 2014, and said it was before then. Plymale said that everything Hockman said was true and admitted that Agent Justin Rice, patrolman for the Gallipolis Police Department, was correct when he said that Plymale lied about his name and where he got the guns. Initially, Plymale said his name was John to officers and later also told Michael Trout, of BCI, that he purchased the guns from a friend, Clint Shelton. Plymale said he did it to protect Bowman. During their opening arguments, the defense said that Trout suggested a story to Bowman about what went on that day, and Bowman simply agreed, saying that he’d helped Plymale that day, basically suggesting that the agent put a story in Bowman’s mouth. During his concluding questioning, Plymale said Bowman was lying about Plymale’s involvement in Sheets’ murder, and that he only helped his cousin by taking and attempting to sell the stolen guns. Sentencing for Plymale will be 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10 in the Gallia County Common Pleas Courtroom. You can reach Lindsay Kriz at 992-2155 EXT. 2555 or on Twitter @ JournalistKriz. Stephen K.

Michael — who was a second team All-Ohioan for the Maroon and Gold — signed his letter of intent to join the Alderson-Broaddus, Friday afternoon at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. “It feels great, a lot of stress is relieved off my shoulder and I’m excited to go play ball,” Davis said. “It’s defiantly a big step up, Meigs has sent five kids to college over the past two or three years and the coaches really get your name out there. I can’t wait to play at the collegiate level.” Michael is currently in the top-25 of the senior class at MHS with a 3.3 grade point average. He will major in anatomy at Alderson-Broaddus with hopes of becoming a mortician. “Michael’s the type of kid that will always go the extra mile,” Marauders head coach Mike Bartrum said. “He’s been in there at 6:00 a.m. with coach Willford about three or four days a week for the past year and a half working on his footwork and you saw it pay off his senior year. He’s a hard-working kid, he’ll give you everything he’s got and he’s done everything we’ve ever asked of him at Meigs High School.” Davis will join former Meigs teammate Nathan Mecek, who signed at ABU last winter. Pictured above, sitting in the front row from left to right are Wesley Smith, Michael Davis, Sarah Pullins and William Smith.

Red Dragons rally past Point, 57-53 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A tough way to go out. Visiting St. Albans rallied back from a double-digit deficit in the first half and picked up its first winning streak of the season Friday during a 57-53 decision over the Point Pleasant boys basketball team in a non-conference matchup on Senior Night in Mason County. The Big Blacks (3-11) honored seniors Aden Yates, Cody Sroufe, Brian Gibbs, Aaron Chapman, Chase Moses, Brae Paul and Gage Buskirk before the game for their collective efforts in the program, then the hosts battled through eight lead changes and three ties in the opening canto before taking a 19-16 advantage. The lead grew to as much as 10 points with 4:05 remaining in the half after Brian Gibbs netted a basket for a 31-21 edge, but the Red Dragons (3-13) countered with an 11-6 run to end the half looking at a 37-32 deficit. PPHS led by six points on three different occasions in the third period, but a 12-10 St. Albans run ultimately allowed the guests to close to within a possession at 47-44 headed into the finale. The Red Dragons battled back to tie things at 47-all and again at 49-all, but the Big Blacks answered with four consecutive points for their largest lead of the fourth at 53-49 with 2:09 left in regulation. PPHS, however, went scoreless the rest of the way and committed all four of its fourth quarter turnovers over the final two minutes of play, which allowed St. Albans an open door to make a comeback. Jeffrey Sears scored the final eight points of the game — including the go-ahead basket with 1:27 remaining — allowing SAHS to wrap up the four-point outcome for its second straight road win in as many days. Point Pleasant — which has now dropped eight consecutive contests — never trailed by more than a possession in the contest, with the lone exception coming in the final two-tenths of a second. Down 56-53 with 8.1 seconds left, PPHS missed its opportunity to tie the game after committing a turnover — which ended up in the hands of Sears. Sears was immediately fouled and sank the second of two free throw attempts, which gave the guests their largest lead of the entire night. There were a total of five ties and 11 lead changes in the contest, with neither team leading by more than three points in the opening 8:14 of regulation. Point Pleasant made a small 4-1 run out of the second quarter gate en route to a 23-17 lead with 6:03 left, but the Red Dragons answered with four straight points for a 23-21 deficit at the 5:29 mark. The Big Blacks, however, countered with eight consecutive points to secure their largest lead of the night at 41-31. Neither team shot over 39 percent in the second half, so turnovers played a key role in the final outcome. PPHS committed eight miscues after halftime — half of which came in the final two minutes of the game — while St. Albans had just four turnovers total after the break. Both teams hauled in 27 rebounds apiece, but the guests claimed an 11-7 edge on the offensive glass. SAHS finished the night with nine turnovers, compared to 15 giveaways by the Big Blacks. PPHS connected on 20-of-41 field goal attempts for 49 percent, including a 6-of-17 effort from three-point range for 35 percent. The hosts also converted 7-of-14 free throw attempts for 50 percent. Aden Yates led Point Pleasant with a double-double effort of 16 points and 15 rebounds, followed by Doug Workman with 13 points. Cody Sroufe and Brian Gibbs each contributed nine markers apiece, while Bradley Gibbs rounded out the tally with six points. The Red Dragons sank 20-of49 shot attempts for 41 percent, including a 5-of-18 effort from behind the arc for 28 percent. The guests also netted 12-of-26 charity tosses for 46 percent. Phillip Hall led SAHS with a game-high 24 points, 17 of which came in the opening half. Sears was next with 16 points, followed by John Klossen with 10 points and Jayson Barrett with four markers. Matthew Stricklen and Zack Smith respectively rounded out the winning score with two points and one point. Hall also recorded a double-double with a team-high 12 rebounds. Point Pleasant — which is now 3-5 in home contests — still has two home games remaining. The Big Blacks will face George Washington on February 13 and also welcome Lincoln County on the February 23.

For Ohio Valley Publishing Baldwin retires from magistrate court position By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — This past week, there’s been something missing in Mason County Magistrate Court. Longtime Magistrate Clerk Brenda Shirley Baldwin retired from her position last Friday to spend more time with her family. Prior to Baldwin taking leave, her colleagues at the courthouse hosted a retirement party and Judge David W. Nibert presented her with a proclamation recognizing her contributions as magistrate clerk, a Baldwin position she has held since 2007. Prior to working in magistrate court, Baldwin’s experience in law and order began in 1981 when she worked in Mason County Circuit Court, as well as family court in its infancy and even worked for a private attorney. While Baldwin may not have an official law degree on her wall, her knowledge of the court system rivaled that of any attorney. This knowledge was always delivered with a smile on her face, which is not so easy to do when working in a high-stress position dealing with people who are often dealing with their worst day. Over the years, Baldwin said the hardest part of her job was dealing with cases which involved people she knew and how, no matter that relationship, everyone had to be treated the same - justice, after all, is supposed to be blind. It mattered to Baldwin that all cases that came across her desk were treated fairly and the same. It was her duty. Outside the courtroom are where relationships really matter and for Baldwin, those important relationships have to do with her family with whom she hopes to spend more time because, as she put it: “After 34 years of working, this time is for me.” And, of course, families make that “me” possible. Baldwin said she will miss her magistrate court family as well. “This is my best friend and sister,” Magistrate Cheryl Miller Ross said during Baldwin’s reception. “We’ve learned a lot together.” Though she’s no longer in the courthouse to “whip” things into shape, life has went on with Deputy Karen Chambers being sworn in as Baldwin’s replacement. “It’s (her old job) in good hands,” Baldwin said. As for if she was going to find it hard to get over thinking she was late for work when she wakes up in the mornings, Baldwin delivered her trademark smile, and with the glow only known to those leaving behind a job well done, decisively said: “No.” Reach Beth Sergent at 304-675-1333, ext. 1992 or on Twitter @ BSergentWrites Photo courtesy of Mindy Kearns This empty lot, located on Brown Street in Mason, once held the decaying home of noted West Virginia historian Virgil A.

Site being transformed into reading park By Mindy Kearns For Ohio Valley Publishing MASON, W.Va. — The property that once held the decaying home of a noted West Virginia historian will soon become the site of a reflective reading park. The Virgil A. Lewis House, located in Mason, was razed this past year. Lewis was the first West Virginia state historian, a state superintendent of schools and an author of history books. He lived in the Brown Street house from 1905-1912. Now a collaborative effort is being made to transform the property, which is adjacent to the Mason Library, into a reading park, according to Mason Mayor Donna Dennis. A meeting was recently held to discuss plans for the park. Attending were will be a nice touch as well, citing that the one at the New Haven Library is used often by library patrons and those walking, who just want to sit and rest.

Once the work started however, it was discovered the wood was much more rotted than first believed. “It was a safety hazard,” Gerlach stated. “Now we are taking an eyesore and turning it into something nice to look at.” Work on the park will be done on a volunteer basis. Currently, the entities involved will be soliciting local businesses and individuals for donations of either money or building materials. Officials are hoping to have the park completed by summer. A tentative dedication date is July 9, Virgil Lewis’ birthday. Anyone wishing to make a monetary donation can mail it to the Mason County Library Board, P.O. Box 609, Mason, WV 25260. The donation should be designated for the Virgil Lewis Memorial Park. Anyone wishing to supply materials should contact the Town of Mason at 304-773-5200 or Mason County Commission at 304-675-1110. AEP provides energy efficiency learning Staff report Junior Joe Beegle with some free items to help conserve energy. Courtesy photo RACINE — Students at Southern High School’s Agriculture Education/FFA department are learning to become wise consumers of energy while at the same time helping their families save money by reducing energy waste at home. Students in the agriculture education classes are participating in the E3 Smart Program offered by AEP Ohio, a unit of American Electric Power. Participating teachers are trained to teach the energy efficiency curriculum which is aligned with Ohio science standards. They also receive instructional supplies to supplement the classroom experience. Students learn about energy forms, sources, transformation, conservation, consumption and efficiency. Along with classroom instruction, students receive energysaving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a low-flow showerhead, faucet aerators and weather stripping to install at home. AEP Ohio has partnered with the Ohio Energy Project to offer the e3 smart Program since 2007.

Staff report institution founded in 1847 and affiliated with the United Methodist Church. God. We read in Hebrews 11:6 that “without faith it is impossible to please God. For he who would come to God must first believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” No man, or child, being baptized apart from faith, can please God. Until they can believe in God, and believe in His saving power through Christ, then there is no point in seeking that salvation. Faith must come first. Paul observes as much in Romans 10, asking, “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” Only those who call on Christ will be saved, but men cannot call apart from faith, and thus cannot be saved apart from faith. God has given us a plan and its important that we follow it in the right order. If you would learn more about God’s plan, we invite you to worship and study with us at Chapel Hill Church of Christ, 197 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis.

VVe want to form a stronger alliance with the church community and do more meaningful job of helping local churches spread their message to people who are looking for answers and inspiration. VVe need your help to do this. VVe will publish an inspirational full color magazine that we have entitled Faith and Family. This publication, with your help, will list all our churches and carry a message of hope. As your local newspaper we want to use our resources to help get your message to those in need. The magazine will carry profiles of local churches and testimonials from local readers who have experienced a change in life as the result of their faith and beliefs. These stories can be a powerful influence in raising the consciousness of the reader looking for answers and in need of a church to help heal. This publication will also increase the strength and unity among the local church community. Heather, who joined the weight loss effort a few months after her husband, said she talked to a dietitian. “She said we needed a lifestyle change, not a diet,” she said. The couple watched their weights zoom up over the 14 years since they married, so they became their own support group. “We put it on together,” Heather Bise said. “And, we took it off together. I got a new husband without getting a divorce.” Chester credits much of their success to a cellphone app called “My Fitness Pal.” It has the tools to keep a diary of daily calorie intake and exercise. Camp to run June 2-4 Staff report OHIO VALLEY — What do your children or grandchildren want to be when they grow up? Do they want to be scientists, doctors or engineers? What about farmers or video game designers? Maybe they want to work with animals? Or would they rather play with computers? A few days at STEM Camp might help them decide. And, they’ll have fun along the way. Boys and girls currently in fifth through seventh grades from an 11-county region in southern Ohio are invited to attend STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Camp at Canter’s Cave this summer. The region includes Adams, Brown, Gallia, Jackson, Highland, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton counties. The camp is being planned and implemented by OSU Extension professionals from several of these counties. Both 4-H and non-4-H youth are invited to attend. The camp will begin after lunch June 2 and end late morning June 4. It will be at the Elizabeth L. Evans Outdoor Education Center/Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp in Jackson. The camp is an ideal setting for such a program, offering an abundance of natural resources and traditional camp activities. During the three-day, two-night camp, participants will take part in both special workshops focused on STEM and in some of those traditional camp activities — with a STEM twist. But, the camp won’t feel the least bit like school. Participants will select two STEM areas to explore in-depth. Choices include aerospace, robotics, environmental science, food science, animal science, life science, music science, and forensic science. Both basic and advanced sessions will be offered in robotics again this year. Participants will do many hands-on activities and learn about careers in the field. They’ll also enjoy team building “engineering” challenges, explore the night sky, and learn about the science of fire during a traditional campfire. And, they may have to learn something about food science as they work together to prepare their evening snacks. This year’s camp will also feature a visit from Ohio State’s Dr. Bob (a science guy) and a new Monsanto engineering challenge. For those who want to sign up, event brochure/ registration form is available at go.osu.edu/STEMCamp15. The fee to participate in the camp is $65 per camper, but only 90 campers will be accepted. Deadline for registration is May 1. Miss Extraordinary pageant helps to build student bonds By Mary Stortsrom Associated Press SHENANDOAH JUNCTION, W.Va. — Nine Jefferson High School students were given the star treatment by their peers at the third annual Miss Extraordinary Special Needs Pageant. Emily Matlock, a Jefferson High School senior, has organized the pageants for the past three years. Matlock is a participant in the Miss Jefferson County scholarship program, and her pageant platform is working with youth and teens with special needs. “Once I started it, I couldn’t stop,” Matlock said. “I wanted to make each show bigger than the one before. That way, it’s more fun for the people in it and the people watching.” Jefferson High School’s Charisma dance team opened the Jan. 17 pageant with a performance. Each member of the dance team was paired as a “buddy” with one of the contestants, escorting them on and off stage and dancing with them during the talent portion of the evening. The contestants, who ranged in age from 12 years old to 19 years old, were introduced one-by-one to the judges and the audience.
