while an additional four individuals
are behind bars following an ongoing
investigation into the homicide.
Joseph D. Plymale, 27, Bidwell,
and Christopher W. Bowman, 34,
Gallipolis, were arrested on Saturday following three days of intensive
investigation by the Gallia County

Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio Bureau of
Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) and the Gallia-Meigs
Major Crimes Task Force. The arrests follow the discovery of the body
of John S. Sheets, 58, at his residence
on Wray Road last Wednesday evening.

24-year Board of Elections member retiring

POMEROY — John Ihle, of Racine,
who is retiring from his position on the
Meigs County Board of Elections after
24 years of service, was honored Monday
morning at a retirement party following
the board’s regular business meeting.
Ihle was presented a certificate of appreciation by Judge Scott Powell that
noted his years of service and cited his
“kindness, compassion and diligence as
a member of the board. It also ordered
that Feb. 28, 2014, and every year
thereafter on that date be designated as
“John Ihle Appreciation Day.”
“I’ve never missed a single meeting
in all those years,” Ihle said. “I was always able to schedule things about my
meeting times, noting that sometimes
two or three meetings were held in
one month. I’ve enjoyed service on this
board immensely.”
He pointed out that he was a representative of the Democrat Party on the
board, which is made up of two Republicans and two Democrats. Representatives are appointed for four years. The
local party makes an initial appointment
and then the secretary of state has to approve it before the person can become a
member of the Board of Elections.
The appointee to fill the vacancy
left by Ihle’s retirement is Charles Williams, of Rutland. He said he is looking
forward to serving on the board, but
knows he has “big shoes to fill.”

ABOVE, Rita Slaven and Ed Durst, board members, and Charles Williams,
newly named to the board, extend good wishes to John Ihle on his retirement. Sandy Iannarelli is the fourth member of the Board of Elections.
BELOW, Charles Williams of Rutland, right, is congratulated by John Ihle
on his appointment to fill the position on the Board of Elections.

Staff Report
TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

MEIGS COUNTY —
Cardiovascular disease is
the leading cause of death
for both men and women
in the United States, as
well as in Meigs County.
One in every three deaths
is from heart disease
and stroke. That is 2,200
deaths per day. In 2013, 33
of 134 deaths that occurred
in Meigs County were cardiac related according to
the Meigs County Health
Department.
Coronary heart disease
is the most common type
of heart disease. According
to the CDC, coronary heart
disease kills more than
385,000 people annually.
The Meigs County
Health Department continues to be dedicated to fight
heart disease by empowering people in the community to make heart-healthy
decisions and choices.
The Creating Healthy
Communities project at
the Meigs County Health
Department has been in
the forefront of preventing
heart disease, stroke and
other chronic diseases in
the county for more than
a decade. Funded by the
Ohio Department of Health
and launched in 2003 as the
Cardiovascular Health project, CHC is a county-wide
initiative that collaborates
with organizations and communities in creating and improving opportunities for
residents to make healthy

nutrition choices, become
physically active and live a
tobacco-free life. The CHC
project funds healthy nutrition initiatives through our
community and school gardens projects.
The project also supports physical activities
initiatives by purchasing
fitness and playground
equipment for parks, playgrounds and fitness facilities in the county.
In 2013, the program
collaborated with the community service officer at
the Meigs County Juvenile
Court and the Agriculture
program at Meigs High
School to install a community garden in Syracuse
and a school garden at
Meigs High School. The
two gardens yielded more
than 500 pounds of fresh
produce annually.
The CHC also renovated
one playground in Middleport, purchased equipment
for a fitness room at the
civic center in Rutland and
a local park in Racine in
support of our physical fitness initiative.
The health department
has developed initiatives for
2014 as well. Last month,
more than $15,000 was
awarded to the Meigs Wellness Center to increase access to fitness in the county.
CHC has also implemented
tobacco-free initiatives at
playgrounds and other public areas in the County.

According to complaints filed that the victim was killed.

The complaints further state that
Plymale has a prior felony record
for possession of drugs and attempted burglary and has not been

Browning reported that, as of
Monday afternoon, a total of 10
search warrants have been have
been served and four additional
individuals have been arrested as
a result of the ongoing investigation into the homicide. These
four arrests are not directly connected to the murder, but are the
result of the subsequent investigation, according to Browning.
Browning stated that, while
in the process of locating Bowman, who had reportedly been
out of town working, officers
trailed his vehicle to a camper on
McCormick Road where it was
suspected that a transaction for
the purchase of heroin occurred.
A search warrant was later obtained for the camper and a child
was later removed from the residence with the assistance of chil-

Browning reported that the investigation into the trafficking of

a third individual may be charged.
Two more arrests were made
after officers, who were attempting to locate Plymale, observed
him at a Springfield Township
area apartment, according to
Browning.
Plymale
reportedly
approached Cody Hockman, 28,
Bidwell, and Michelle Coughenour, 40, Patriot, in the parking
lot area next to the apartment
and allegedly sold Hockman a
rifle that is believed to have belonged to Sheets.
Hockman was later arrested
on a felony warrant and is facing a charge of receiving stolen
property, while Coughenour was

arrested on a misdemeanor warrant.
Heroin was also reportedly
found at the apartment and a
possible child endangerment
charge may be filed as a result
of the search warrant that was
served at the residence.
Browning further reported on
Monday that the incidents surrounding Sheets’ death and the
subsequent six arrests that have
been made are a direct result of
illicit drug trade.
“We feel like the whole situation is heroin-driven,” Browning
said. “We found heroin at the
apartment, heroin at the camper
and we have information that the
two suspects in this case were
addicted to heroin.”
Browning further praised the
work of the officers involved in
the ongoing investigation in this
case, while asking anyone who
may have further information
to contact the sheriff’s office via

The trillion dollar road Do more to prevent war
By Ira Helfand
and Dr. Robert Dodge
In March of last year, the
Norwegian government convened a gathering of 129 nations in Oslo for a two-day
Conference on the Humanitarian Consequences of Nuclear
War. This week there will be a
follow up meeting in Mexico to
further examine the scientific
data now available documenting the devastating global impact of even a very limited use
of these weapons.
The United States and the
other four permanent members
of the UN Security Council, who
together possess 98 percent of
the world’s nuclear weapons,
boycotted the Oslo meeting and
have not yet indicated if they
will attend the meeting in Mexico. In a joint statement issued
before the Oslo meeting, the P5,
as they are called, said that a
conference that examined what
will actually happen if nuclear
weapons are used would somehow “distract” them from their
efforts to reduce the nuclear
danger.
The administration has expressed particular concern that
these conferences will somehow endanger the 1968 Non
Proliferation Treaty, which
makes it illegal for states which
do not possess nuclear weapons
to build them. But Article VI of
the NPT also requires the existing nuclear powers to engage in
good faith negotiations to eliminate their own nuclear arsenals.
A recent statement by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
sheds light on the real threat
to the NPT. Speaking after a
tour of nuclear weapons facilities in Albuquerque, N.M.,
earlier this month, Hagel
called for the US to “upgrade”
its nuclear warheads and the
submarines, bombers and
missiles that deliver them.
The Congressional Budget

Office estimated in late December these plans would cost
$355 billion over the next decade. The Center for Nonproliferation Studies predicts the
new weapons will cost $1 trillion over 30 years.
Meanwhile, the Russians
are in the middle of a similar
major upgrade of their nuclear
forces.
So while asking the non-nuclear weapons states to respect
the NPT and refrain from building nuclear weapons, the two
main nuclear powers are ignoring their responsibilities under
the treaty and expending vast
sums of money they cannot afford to make sure they have
thousands of nuclear weapons
for the foreseeable future.
And this is the problem: the
system of nuclear apartheid,
where some nations possess
nuclear weapons and others
are forbidden to have them,
is increasingly unacceptable
to the non-nuclear weapons
states. These nations do not
want to build nuclear weapons
of their own. They want the
nuclear powers to stop holding them hostage and putting
the safety of the whole world
at risk with the weapons they
already possess.
This concern has indeed
been fueled by the growing
understanding of the actual
effects of nuclear weapons,
particularly the recent reports
that have shown that even a
very limited, regional nuclear
war would have catastrophic
weather, contamination, crop
loss, and famine consequences
worldwide, likely killing billions of people. The weapons
on a single US Trident submarine can produce this global catastrophe; we have 14 of them.
The U.S. and Russia claim
the world does not have to
worry about their nuclear
weapons — they will never be
used. Around the world, it is

an argument that persuades
few. If there is no chance
these weapons will ever be
used, why would we spend
hundreds of billions of dollars
on them? Even if they are not
used deliberately, there exists
the very real threat of an accidental war. We know of at
least five occasions in the last
35 years when either Moscow
or Washington prepared to
launch a nuclear war in the
mistaken belief that it was
itself under attack. And a terrorist cyber attack could lead
to the unauthorized launch of
these weapons.
We are at a fundamental decision point with respect to
nuclear weapons. We can begin negotiations with the other
nuclear powers to eliminate
our nuclear arsenals and prevent the proliferation of these
weapons across the planet. Or
we can spend a trillion dollars
to extend our nuclear arsenal
and send a clear message to
the rest of the world that they
should build nuclear weapons,
too.
The U.S. should stop insisting that the non-nuclear nations trust us and do as we
say and not do as we do. We
need to lead by example and
seek the security of a world
without nuclear weapons. The
US should attend the Mexico
meeting and give leadership
to the growing international
movement to negotiate a treaty to eliminate these weapons
once and for all.

By David Swanson
Polls showed a large percentage
of us in this country supporting
the invasion of Afghanistan in
2001 and even — though somewhat reduced — the invasion of
Iraq in 2003. But not long after,
and ever since, a majority of us
have said those were mistakes.
We’ve opposed attacking Iran
whenever that idea has entered
the news. We opposed bombing
Libya in 2011 and were ignored,
as was Congress. And, by the way,
advocates of that happy little war
are rather quiet about the chaos it
created.
But last September, the word
on our televisions was that missiles must be sent to strike Syria.
President Barack Obama and
the leaders of both big political
parties said they favored it. Wall
Street believed it would happen,
judging by Raytheon’s stock.
When U.S. intelligence agencies
declined to make the president’s
case, he released a “government”
assessment without them.
Remarkably, we didn’t accept
that choice. A majority of us favored humanitarian aid, but no
missiles, and no arming of one
side in the war. We had the benefit
of many people within the government and the military agreeing
with us. And when Congress was
pressured to demand approval
power, Obama granted it.
It helped more that members of
Congress were in their districts
with people getting in their faces.
It was with Congress indicating
its refusal to support a war that
Obama and Kerry accepted the
pre-existing Russian offer to negotiate. In fact, the day before
they made that decision, the State
Department had stressed that
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
would never ever give up his
chemical weapons, and Kerry’s
remarks on that solution had been
“rhetorical.”
The war in Syria goes on. Washington sent guns, but refrained

from air strikes. Major humanitarian aid would cost far less than
missiles and guns, but hasn’t materialized. The children we were
supposed to care about enough to
bomb their country are still suffering, and most of us still care.
But a U.S. war was prevented.
We’re seeing the same thing
play out in Washington right now
on the question of whether to impose yet more sanctions on Iran,
shred a negotiated agreement
with Iran, and commit the United
States to joining in any war between Israel and Iran.
In January, a bill to do all of that
looked likely to pass through the
Senate. Public pressure has been
one factor in, thus far, slowing it
down.
Are we moving away from war?
The ongoing war in Afghanistan, and White House efforts to
extend it beyond this year, might
suggest otherwise. The military
budget that still eats up, across
various departments, roughly half
of federal discretionary spending,
and which is roughly the size of all
other countries’ military spending combined, might suggest otherwise. The failure to repeal the
authorizations for war from 2001
and 2003, and the establishment
of permanent practices of surveillance and detention and secrecy
justified by a permanent state of
war, might suggest otherwise. As
might the ongoing missile strikes
from drones over a number of nations.
But you’ll notice that they don’t
ask us before launching drone
strikes, and that their assurances that no innocent people are
harmed have proven highly misleading.
War may be becoming acceptable only as what its advocates
have long claimed it was: a last
resort. Of course if we can really
make that true, we’ll never have a
war again.

CINCINNATI — Four
legally married gay couples
filed a federal civil rights
lawsuit Monday seeking a
court order to force Ohio
to recognize same-sex
marriages on birth certificates despite a statewide
ban, echoing arguments in
a similar successful lawsuit
concerning death certificates.
The couples filed the
suit in federal court in Cincinnati, arguing that the
state’s practice of listing
only one partner in a gay
marriage as a parent on
birth certificates violates
the U.S. Constitution.
“We want to be afforded the same benefits and
rights as every other citizen of the United States,”

in Manhattan with his husband and their adopted

The difference in the final outcome,
however, came down to the Blue Devils’ ability to score points. Ten of the 11
wrestlers earned at least one victory for
the winning cause, and nine of those grapplers eventually finished first or second in
their respective weight classes.
Afterwards, second-year GAHS coach
Scott Stanley — who was named SEOAL
coach of the year at the event — spoke
about the day’s events and how everyone
played a part in the final outcome.
“It’s an exciting moment for me, the
kids and the program. It’s been a few years
since we last did this and we worked really
hard this week just for this moment right
now,” Stanley said. “The kids worked together really well today and it all came
together and we pulled if off.
“We want our 2014 emblem added to
the wall down there with the others in the
wrestling room. That’s what everybody
strives for at the beginning of the season.”
The Blue Devils previously finished
second to Logan in 2012 and were third
overall in 2013 to Warren and Logan. The
Warriors were the defending champion
headed into Saturday’s meet.
It was the third year in a row that GAHS
came away with five individual SEOAL
champions, which included the third

straight crowns for senior John Byus and
junior Cole Tawney. Byus went 2-0 on his
way to winning the 220-pound championship, while Tawney was 2-0 and came
away with Most Valuable Wrestler honors
after claiming the 126 divisional crown.
Freshmen Jared Stevens (106) and Kaleb Crisenberry (132) each went unbeaten
and won SEOAL titles in their first varsity
bouts, while sophomore Justin Reynolds
shook off a third-place effort last year at
160 by winning the 182-pound weight
class for his first SEOAL title.
Isaiah Holley (113), Ryan Terry (160),
Griffon McKinniss (170) and Anthony Sipple (195) each finished second for the Blue
Devils, while Quenton McKinniss plaved
third in the 145-pound division. Hunter
Jacks was also fourth in the 152 weight class.
“It was very special to do this at home. Our
home crowd was here and you usually have
more of a following when it’s at home,” Stanley said. “It’s great to bring a championship
back to Gallia Academy at Gallia Academy.”
Levi Congleton (120), Casey Parsons
(145), Austin Klintworth (152) and
Brandon Pahl (285) won titles for Warren, while Austin Scarberry (160), Bryce
McBride (170) and Nick Schneider (195)
earned individual crowns for the Chieftains. Kyle Kirby (113) and Tyler Storms
(138) each won an SEOAL title for the
Ironmen.

German takes gold

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Different American, same
result for Maria Hoefl-Riesch — another Olympic
gold in the super-combined.
Just as she did four years ago at the Vancouver Games, Hoefl-Riesch found herself trailing an
American after the downhill leg before using her
slalom skills to vault into first place and successfully defend her Olympic title in the dual-run event.
The German finis hed less than a second ahead
of both silver medalist Nicole Hosp of Austria and
Julia Mancuso of the United States, who won the
bronze, just as she did in 2010.
Lindsey Vonn had the fastest downhill time in
Vancouver, but when Vonn skied out on the slalom,
Hoefl-Riesch roared back to claim gold. This time,
Vonn is out with an injury, and Mancuso replaced
her at the top the standings after the downhill.
At the Olympic Park, Charles Hamelin of Canada
raced to the 1,500-meter short track speedskating
gold, and Viktor Ahn earned the bronze to give Russia its first-ever short track medal; Michel Mulder of
the Netherlands earned the 500-meter speedskating gold; and Martin Fourcade won the 12.5-kilometer biathlon pursuit.
Another medal was being awarded in men’s moguls on Day 4 of the Sochi Olympics.
SHORT TRACK SPEEDSKATING
At 29, Hamelin was the oldest skater in the first
final of the short track competition. The wily veteran maintained a top-three position throughout
most of the 14-lap race, leaving enough at the end
to defeat a loaded field, including Ahn and silver
medalist Han Tianyu of China. Ahn was a threetime gold medalist for his native South Korea, but
after missing the Vancouver Games he changed
his name and became a Russian citizen. When he
stepped on the medals podium, the mostly Russian crowd erupted in wild cheers.
SPEEDSKATING
Mulder’s 500-meter speedskating victory
earned him the title of fastest man on skates.
Teammate Jan Smeekens was 0.01 seconds behind for silver, and twin Ronald Mulder took bronze
in a Dutch sweep.
BIATHLON
Fourcade’s win earned France its first medal.
Ondrej Moravec of Czech Republic took the silver, and Jean Guillaume Beatrix of France earned
bronze. Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway finished
fourth, missing out on a record 13th Winter Olympic medal.
CURLING
In a heavyweight matchup between two favorites for the women’s curling gold medal, Sweden
defeated Britain 6-4. Also, Canada routed 2010
bronze-medalist China 9-2 in a shortened game
that was conceded because of the huge differential. Switzerland beat the United States 7-4 and
Russia topped Denmark 6-4 in other first roundrobin games.
