Ohio Department of Agriculture will quarantine hemlock materials COLUMBUS — Officials with the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources say they have discovered a hemlock-killing pest in Jackson County. The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) is a small, aphid-like insect native to Asia that threatens the health and sustainability of eastern hemlock and Carolina hemlock in the eastern United States. HWA was first reported in the eastern United States in 1951 near Richmond, Va. Today, it is established in portions of 19 states from Maine to Georgia, where infestations cover about half of the range of eastern hemlock. Areas of the southern Appalachian region and New England have experienced significant mortality of eastern hem- lock due to this devastating insect. The infestation was recently detected by ODNR officials at Lake Katharine State Nature Preserve in Jackson County. Officials have been conducting surveys in and around the infested area to determine the extent of the infestation. HWA is primarily transported by wind and birds. Officials believe the recent findings in Ohio are the result of natural spread from nearby areas where the pest is established. There are now seven counties in Ohio where HWA has been detected in a naturally occurring stand of hemlock. In 2012, infestations were found in Meigs and Washington counties; in 2013, an infestation was detected in Hocking County, and in 2014, infestations were detected in Lawrence, Monroe and Vinton counties. At this time, ODA will move to expand its hemlock quarantine, enforced by ODA’s Plant Health Division, to include Jackson County. Ohio quarantine regulations restrict the movement of hemlock materials from counties known to be infested into non-infested Ohio counties. Ohio’s quarantine law also requires hemlock materials grown in non-infested counties in quarantined states to be inspected before being shipped and have a phytosanitary certificate verifying that the plant material is free of HWA when entering Ohio.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Three exonerated men once convicted and sentenced to death in a 1975 slaying were wrongfully imprisoned, an Ohio judge declared, opening the door for them to receive millions of dollars in compensation. The ruling on Wednesday allows Wiley Bridgeman, Ricky Jackson and Kwame Ajamu to file cases in the Ohio Court of Claims. Under Ohio law, wrongfully imprisoned former inmates can be paid more than $40,000 for each year they were incarcerated, The Plain Dealer reported. The three men were exonerated late last year. Ajamu was released in 2003 after 27 years in prison. Bridgeman and Jackson were released in November after nearly 40 years behind bars. “Gentlemen, I am truly sorry for what happened to you,” said Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shannon Gallagher as she hugged the men and concluded the Wednesday hearing. The three had been convicted and sentenced to death in the slaying of a businessman outside on a corner store on a warm spring day in 1975. The case against them unraveled last year when the prosecution’s star witness recanted his testimony. Ajamu, then known as Ronnie Bridgeman, was 17 when he was sent to death row. Jackson was 19, and Wiley Bridgeman was 20. Their death sentences were later commuted to life terms. The cases are expected to move quickly through the Court of Claims, said Attorney Terry Gilbert, who represents Bridgeman and Ajamu. He expects the men will receive some of the money within three or C four months of filing their claims. After decades behind bars, the men said they’re adjusting to life after their exonerations. Bridgeman said he’s familiarizing himself with the changing face of downtown Cleveland, and adjusting to the fact that a bus ride no longer costs 15 cents. Jackson said his favorite thing is being able to come and go when he wants. “I’m just trying to be an ordinary person,” he said.

When one considers Thom God’s intention that there Mollohan be so much more in our Pastor experience with Him and His people, this is indeed an incalculable tragedy. It seems that we either think that the spiritual realm is merely mythical or hypothetical and that God simply doesn’t “come near” to us as He did in the Scriptures, or we feel that God should only have access to a limited number of spheres in our lives, ranking little more than just another spot on the calendar or one other thing to juggle in our busy schedules. How sad when we come to these conclusions. Cynicism with people is one thing; cynicism with God is another. When God’s people stop believing that God desires to bless them, then they themselves shut the door of His grace and enclose themselves in a tight spot without access to the provisions of joy, peace, wisdom and love that can only be found in God’s larder. The most significant roadblock, however, to experiencing God is satisfaction with what we’ve already got. When content with ourselves and our circumstances, we are not inclined to go out and look for more of God. Like the companions of Ulysses in Homer’s Odyssey, we eat the fruits of the Lotus (namely achievement, pleasure, success and fame) and we forget that our “home” isn’t here. Thus, we stop seeking Him. We stop desiring His presence. We settle for the intoxicating lures of a world that is simply way out of step with God. How infinitely more sad when “we have forsaken Him, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water” (from Jeremiah 2:13). Imagine trudging along away from a fountain of clear, cool water, while saying to yourself, “No. I want to get my own water in my own way.” Imagine sitting beside a cistern that you have built with your own hands, hoping for rain, only to watch the sparse drops that smatter down, instantly trickle through the cracks left in the bottom of your basin. Wouldn’t that fountain of clear, cool water begin to haunt your thoughts and dreams? Wouldn’t you long for that? “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” said Jesus in Matthew 5:3. Another way to say the same thing is, “happy are those who see their spiritual poverty for now the power and provision of heaven can come to them.” We are horribly impoverished without God. We are miserably bankrupted when we seek sustenance for our souls in things other than His love. Sadly, we often just don’t get it. We feel confident in ourselves and in the security of our accomplishments and have no clue as to how precarious the position is in which we rest. The Lord Jesus though, in addressing significant problems among His people in Laodicea, says in Revelation 3:17 and 18, “… You say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.” If we come to our senses (see Luke 15:17) and realize the spiritual squalor in which we live, and our hearts “turn to home,” doesn’t it make sense to toss aside whatever rotten Lotus we hold in our hands, and cry out to God, “Lord, I need more of You!” and believe that this is indeed a prayer He longs to fulfill? I often hear Jeremiah 29:11 quoted, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” How wonderful! But the next two verses spell out the necessary conditions for you and me to receive the benefit of His plans, “Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find Me. When you seek Me with all your heart,” (Jeremiah 29:12-13 ESV). God is not likely to pour out the blessing of His presence upon a life that passively hopes that God “might do something.” No, He waits for us to seek Him. “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV).

You will lose control if you try to maintain it The last several weeks of trying to lead the children’s message during the worship service at our church has been a labor of love for me. I have not been able to articulate completely — or even coherently — the Scriptural objectives for recent lessons. The reason is clear for the most part. All of the children who participate in these Scriptural lessons are rather sharp in their observations, and clear in their hearing and understanding. But, the rub is that several of them are verbally outspoken in the perceptions they have and are very willing to say so. The ones apt to speak openly sometimes give interpretation about the point before I give interpretation. It causes me to stutter as I try to think of something as important to say as they have said. Their commentaries are incredibly astute. It causes me to blink in amazement. Many times what they say is bustthe-gut-laughing funny. It forces me to pause until the laughter from the congregation quiets down.

It lives. For example, if you is the Holy Spirit who knows where we should go and how we should conduct ourselves. Today, I am wearing slacks and a sweater. These clothing items have no option to go anywhere other than where my legs, torso, arms and head direct them. So, it is to walk in the Spirit. We should live as though we have no other option to go other than where the Holy Spirit — who dwells in us — takes us. It would save ourselves a lot of grief if we lived daily life with that spiritual perspective. “Be filled with the Holy Spirit” is another expectation. When something is filled, there is no room for anything else (not even for Jello). If one is filled with the Holy Spirit, one is filled with the things of God and the Word of God. There is no room for anything else that can hinder us. The control of the Holy Spirit becomes an automatic spiritual consequence when we actually perceive ourselves walking in the Spirit and being filled with the Spirit. It makes for the best possible daily existence. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

Men choose not to do the 7:13, 14) good Christ would have them to do, because they are too busy seeking to please themselves. Men, in short, miss opportunity after opportunity to make Christ a priority and learn about His will in His word because they are too busy with more secular, worldly matters. Jesus was friends with two sisters, Martha and Mary. Luke recounts an episode in the life of Jesus relevant to what we are saying. “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42) Mary had an opportunity to learn at the feet of Jesus and she took it. Martha was in danger of missing the opportunity. How often have we had the chance to learn from the Master, only to be distracted away by other cares? Those who truly desire live will do well to remember to take every opportunity offered to be spiritually focused. At the church of Christ we invite all who desire to learn more of the Lord’s words to study and worship with us at Chapel Hill Church of Christ, 197 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis.

The overwhelming bipartisan vote in the Republican-controlled Senate was 93-5. Carter will replace Chuck Hagel, the former Republican senator who had a rough relationship with Obama’s insular group of national security advisers. Carter will be Obama’s fourth defense secretary in six years, joining a line of succession that began with Robert Gates and included Leon Panetta and Hagel. In a statement, Obama welcomed the bipartisan vote and Carter’s return to the president’s national security team. One of Carter’s first tasks will be helping to win support for Obama’s call to Congress for new authority to use force against the IS extremists. Republicans and Democrats have reacted negatively to Obama’s draft proposal, criticizing both its limitations and vagueness. In endorsing the 60-year-old Carter, Republicans expressed little hope that he would have better success in jelling with Obama’s inner circle than Hagel did. The former Republican senator and Vietnam War veteran was often the outsider and he announced in November he was stepping down. The president’s relationship with the Pentagon has often been strained. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who backed Carter, said he “needs to have the courage to speak truth to power — to Congress, yes, but also to his commander in chief.” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman of the Armed Services Committee, alluded to the divide between the White House and Pentagon, saying he had “sincere hope and, sadly, little confidence that the president who nominated Dr. Carter will empower him to lead and contribute to the fullest extent of his abilities.” While moving ahead on Carter, Senate Republicans delayed a committee vote on Loretta Lynch, Obama’s nominee for attorney general. Lawmakers said they had more questions for Lynch, the U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York who would become the nation’s first black female attorney general if confirmed. Democrats complained that Lynch is being held to a double standard compared to other nominees and said her nomination should be approved immediately. Her confirmation is expected after Congress’ one-week recess. Carter served as the Pentagon’s second-ranking official from 2011 to 2013, spent two years previously as the department’s technology and weapons-buying chief and was assistant secretary of defense for international security policy during Bill Clinton’s administration. He prefers to be called Ash rather than his given name, Ashton. The next Pentagon chief faces a long to-do list for a military looking at reduced budgets and crises worldwide. The Islamic State group has claimed large swaths of Iraq and Syria. Russianbacked separatists threaten Ukraine. The war is winding down in Afghanistan after more than a decade of fighting, but there is widespread debate about whether the residual U.S. force is sufficient to protect gains. At his confirmation hearing last week, McCain told Carter he hoped he would push back on any attempt by the White House to micromanage the Defense Department, or over-centralize U.S. foreign and defense policies.

Oklahoma State also hosted an NCAA super regional after winning its first Big 12 regular season title. For the same reason those four teams went so far last season, they are all preseason top 10 teams and could be in position to go deep again this year. “It’s a pitching-rich league. We all got guys who can develop,” third-year Texas Tech coach Tim Tadlock said. “Pitching is at the forefront of our league. … Not enough good can be said about pitching in our league.” Consider preseason Big 12 favorite TCU, where Brandon Finnegan went from pitching in the College World Series for the Horned Frogs last summer to being a first-round draft pick and four months later being on the mound for the Kansas City Royals in the World Series. The Frogs still have a loaded pitching staff even without Finnegan and ninth-round draft pick Jordan Kipper. Senior righthander Preston Morrison (9-4, 1.32 ERA) is the only pitcher ever to lead the Big 12 in ERA in consecutive seasons, and electric closer Riley Ferrell (school-record 15 saves, 0.79 ERA) is considered by many the top college prospect in the next MLB draft. They also return a 10-game winner in sophomore lefty Tyler Alexander. While TCU has eight seniors, there will be new starters in left field, right field, at first base and catcher after the starters at those positions were also drafted. “Everybody likes to talk about our pitching, there’s some talent there,” coach Jim Schlossnagle said. “Every school has their question marks. Ours isn’t as solidified as people would like to think in my opinion, but we’ll see how it goes.” Texas Tech and Oklahoma State each have 20 returning lettermen. The Red Raiders have two leftys who won eight games last season (Dylan Dusek and Cameron Smith) while the Cowboys are led by senior right-hander Jon Perrin (8-5, 2.38 ERA), who was in the bullpen before joining the starting rotation for Big 12 play. He went 5-3 with a 1.46 ERA and two shutouts. Texas coach Augie Gar- rido, beginning his 47th season overall and 19th with the Longhorns, has seven returning starting position players. There are also nine pitchers, led by junior and No. 1 starter Parker French (7-5, 2.41 ERA), who beat Louisville in the College World Series. A few other things to know about the upcoming Big 12 season, which starts Friday with every team in action: DEFENDING TITLES: Before the Big 12 started play in 1997, Oklahoma State had won 16 consecutive regular-season titles in the Big Eight Conference. The last team to win consecutive Big 12 titles was Texas in 2010 and 2011. Baylor won the 2012 title and Kansas State was the 2013 champion. BIG HITTERS: The league’s top three hitters in batting average last season were all from West Virginia, but all are gone this season. Next on the list was Kansas senior outfielder Dakota Smith, who is back after hitting .337 last season. Texas Tech junior first baseman Eric Gutierrez led the Big 12 with 12 home runs and 58 RBIs last season as a sophomore, while also hitting .302. 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) 6 PM CABLE 18 doubles, four triples and three homers, and he was 19 for 24 on stolen bases. THE OTHER NEWCOMER: Rutgers joins Maryland as a conference newcomer. It’s the Scarlet Knights’ third league in three years. Last season they won 11 of their last 14 games and tied for third in the American Athletic Conference. Everybody’s back in the outfield and lefty Howie Brey heads a pitching staff that runs deep. BACK TO MINNEAPOLIS: The Big Ten tournament will return to Target Field in Minneapolis in May after enjoying unprecedented success at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska, last year. Last year’s championship game drew 19,965, the largest singlegame conference tournament in NCAA history, and crowds exceeded 10,000 four of the five days. The tournament returns to Omaha in 2016. The five-day total in Minneapolis in 2013 was about 6,000. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13 6:30 7 PM 7:30 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Newswatch Wheel of Jeopardy! Fortune Wheel of Jeopardy!

Actually, we don’t need to presume. The new owner of the Buffalo Bills told us as much in a statement this week announcing the signing of the former chief bully for the Miami Dolphins. “We are convinced that Richie is prepared to move forward and has and will continue to take the necessary steps to improve himself as a person and a teammate,” Terry Pegula said. Incognito has had plenty of time to do just that after missing a year and a half of football in the wake of the Dolphins’ bullying scandal. Remember, though, that this is a guy who sent teammate Jonathan Martin fleeing from Miami and was once called “the dirtiest player in the NFL” by defensive tackle Marcell Dareus, who just happens to be one of his new teammates. Whether the Bills actually believe they’re getting a new and improved man in Incognito, they’re not taking much of a gamble in signing him. Not from teammates and coaches who will like what he brings to the offensive line and certainly not from fans, who tend to have short memory spans when it comes to misbehaving players. The storyline is hardly new. We’re a society that embraces second chances, and that’s especially true in sports. Incognito is simply the latest of a long line of athletes who have resurrected themselves and their careers after facing public contempt. He bullied Martin terribly, and seemed to get great pleasure from it. Incognito also was the focus of a May 2012 police report that said a female volunteer at a Dolphins charity golf tournament complained that Incognito touched her inappropriately with his golf club, leaned close to her as if dancing, and then emptied bottled water in her face. A bully from the locker room to the golf course. Just the kind of guy you want representing your franchise. But, hey, Incognito can still block, or at least the Bills believe he can. And that means something in the NFL, where memories are often short when it comes to talented players. Michael Vick ran a dog fighting ring where dogs were killed in sick ways and still returned to cheers from fans in Philadelphia and New York. And you can be sure Adrian Peterson will be back, too, even if child abuse is especially repulsive. No, it may not be with the Minnesota Vikings, but some die-hard Minnesota fans seem to have already forgiven Peterson. A handful of them showed up at his suspension hearing in Minneapolis last week in Vikings apparel to shout their support for his return. Ray Rice and his wife, meanwhile, are doing everything they can to present the running back as a man who made one mistake and deeply regrets it. He’s eligible again to play in the NFL, and some team might sign him if they think his talent might somehow make the elevator video go away. And does anyone think Jameis Winston won’t be a top pick in the NFL draft despite a woman claiming he sexually assaulted her at Florida State? Rehabilitation can work wonders, even if it doesn’t actually always work. And fans have especially short memories when it comes to the stars they still want to see. It’s not just NFL players, though the league seems to lead the way when it comes to misbehaving players. Lance Armstrong still had a lot of people rooting for him despite his repeated lies about performance enhancing drug use. Barry Bonds is cheered every time he appears in public in San Francisco, and Alex Rodriguez surely will be if he hits seven more home runs this season to pass the great Willie Mays on the all-time home run list. Does anyone even remember that Kobe Bryant faced sexual assault charges in Colorado in 2003 that could have put him in prison for years? Or the same Ray Lewis you see on Monday Night Football pleaded to obstruction charges stemming from the killing of two men outside an Atlanta nightclub in 2000? Barely, and that’s the biggest thing Incognito has working in his favor. Memories grow fuzzy as time goes by, and even if we don’t forget we tend to forgive. Incognito’s return is a little different. Assuming he can still block, he’ll play to cheers again, too. Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

(AP) — Through driver changes, network shuffles, a new championship format and NASCAR’s push to reinvent itself, the one constant for more than two decades has been Jeff Gordon behind the wheel every week of the iconic No. 24. Well, it’s time to buckle up for what’s going to be Gordon’s final ride. The four-time NASCAR champion will report to Daytona International Speedway this week to begin preparations for his final season-opening Daytona 500. Gordon said last month he will give up full-time driving at the end of 2015, and while he didn’t rule out racing a little in the future this will be his final appearance in the “Great American Race” that kicks off the season Feb. 22. It will be the beginning of what will surely be a NASCAR season packed with tributes to Gordon, whose storied career includes pushing the sport into mainstream visibility. Gordon does not want the focus to be on him every week for 38 races. He doesn’t want it to become a sideshow. “I am concerned about it. The statements and comments and accolades have already been overwhelming,” he said. “But I want to race hard and be competitive and be focused at the race track. We’re trying to do all that we can to talk to the tracks and talk to NASCAR about how we can maintain that level of focus.” Gordon has already offered to return to race tracks in 2016, when he’s out of the car, to help with any tributes. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to be here,” he said. “And it only makes me sense for me to commit to the fans and the sport for all its given to me, and I can’t do that when I’m trying to be focused on the track.” Gordon has all the ingredients to top last season, which saw him come oh-so-close to a fifth championship. He won four races and was one of the strongest drivers all year, but a sequence of events in the third segment of NASCAR’s new elimination-round playoffs knocked him out of title contention. He will need to be just as good this year to have a shot at reaching the finale in Homestead, where four drivers will race for the Cup. The title last year went to Kevin Harvick, who put together a brilliant first season with Stewart-Haas Racing. Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers were the class of the field all year, and their hard work was rewarded with the championship that team co-owner Tony Stewart promised to deliver if they moved to SHR. The Chase format contributed to one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory and gave NASCAR momentum for the first time in years. Now all those drivers who lost the title to Harvick are eager to get rolling again. Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano, who made Team Penske a two-driver threat last year, are expected to be just as strong this season. The only issue is if Keselowski, who sparred with many drivers last season, will be able to just race and set aside his off-track concerns. The lineup is different at Joe Gibbs Racing, which expanded to a fourth team by adding Carl Edwards. There was also an offseason crew chief overhaul in which only Matt Kenseth’s team remained intact. Not even Denny Hamlin, who came one caution away from perhaps beating Harvick for the title, was immune. Crew chief Darian Grubb was moved to Edwards’ new team.
