Gallia man charged with murder in Jackson
By Amber Gillenwater

agillenwater@civitasmedia.com

JACKSON — A Gallia County man appeared in a Jackson
County court Monday to face a
charge of murder following his
arrest Saturday for his alleged
involvement in the death of a
Jackson County man.
The man’s body was found
over the weekend in Gallia
County.
James Arrowood, 27, of 2134
German Hollow Road, Patriot,
is being held in Jackson Coun-

ty on a $1 million, 10-percent
bond, following his arraignment Monday before Jackson
County Municipal Court Judge
Mark T. Musick.
According to a press release
issued Sunday afternoon by
Jackson County Sheriff Tedd
Frazier, Arrowood was apprehended following the discovery of the body of a missing
Jackson County man on Saturday evening.
The arrest was reportedly
the result of an investigation
initiated last Wednesday fol-

lowing the reported disappearance of Aaron Charles
of Jackson County. According to Frazier, those close to
Charles told deputies they
had not seen or heard from
him for several days prior to
March 5.
On Saturday, the ongoing investigation resulted in the discovery of the deceased body of
Charles at a location in Gallia
County that has not yet been
disclosed by investigators.
Also on Saturday, multiple
search warrants were se-

cured and executed in both
Jackson and Gallia counties
by the Jackson County Sheriff ’s Office and the Gallia
County Sheriff ’s Office, according to Frazier. Special
agents with the Ohio Bureau
of Criminal Identification
and Investigation also reportedly assisted with processing multiple possible
crime scenes.
During Monday’s hearing,
Arrowood was charged with
first-degree murder. He is retaining counsel in this case.

The next hearing is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. March 18 in
Jackson Municipal Court. It is
expected that the case will later be bound over to the Jackson County Common Pleas
Court, where it will heard by
a grand jury.
Additional information is
being withheld at this time
pending further investigation.
Further details will be released
as they are made available by
investigators.

OLIVE TWP. — One person has died as a result of
injuries sustained in a fire last Thursday near Long

TB Clinic reports no new cases in 2013 Reduction in skin testing clinics
By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — There were no
active cases of tuberculosis in
Meigs County in 2013, according to a report from registered
nurse Nancy Broderick, who is
director of the agency.
She noted that a private physician reported one evaluation of
a patient for latent tuberculosis
infection last year.
As explained by Broderick,
tuberculosis is an airborne disease, but it can also infect other
organs if it travels in the blood.
Signs and symptoms of tuberculosis include weight loss, night
sweats, productive cough with
or without blood in it, fatigue
and loss of appetite. Tuberculo-

sis can almost always be treated
and cured if medications are
taken as directed by a physician,
she said.
However, she noted the
amount of skin testing done
for infection is now limited because of a nationwide shortage
of Tubersol, a solution used in
skin testing. The shortage has
been ongoing since last March,
which means that fewer people
have actually been tested for tuberculosis.
In view of the shortage, the
Ohio Department of Health and
Centers for Disease Control has
given recommendations on who
receives skin tests during this
period of solution shortage.
High-risk individuals who

do receive the skin tests are
those who have been exposed
to active tuberculosis, travels to
other countries with high areas
of tuberculosis, or in a facility
such as prison or homeless shelter, physician recommendation
before starting certain medications, healthcare employees,
and college students.
“Food handlers are not included in the list of those recommended for skin testing,”
Broderick said.
When asked “for how long”
she said, “not since the shortage has been going on.” She described it all as “a matter of supply and demand,” and said it’s
difficult to get. While there is
currently some easing, the agen-

cy has been able to get some and
are now trying to get a stockpile
started in before school and college registrations when students
are required to have skin tests.
As to the regular TB testing
clinics which used to be held
around the county, they were
discontinued because of the
shortage. Broderick described
those tests “as recommended,
but not required.”
Services provided by the
Meigs County Tuberculosis
Clinic include skin testing,
chest X-rays, certain lab tests,
if needed, and medications for
latent and active tuberculosis.
Services are only provided to
people who live and/or work in
Meigs County.

The clinic hours are 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday. No
skin testing is performed on
Thursdays. Any questions concerning the agency’s services
can be directed to Broderick at
992-3722.
The levy-funded clinic is supervised by the Meigs County
Commissioners and has a board
of directors that represent each
township of Meigs County.
Dr. Jeremy Parsons is the clinic physician. Board members include Gayann Clay, Kathy Cumings, Cindy Eblin, Kristi Finlaw,
Jill Johnson, Barbara Lawrence,
Mary Price, Chuck Riffle, Jackie
Starcher, Jane Walton, Melanie
Weese, Kathy White and Alice
Wolfe.

Senate OKs bill to combat military sexual assault
WASHINGTON (AP)
— The Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill late
Monday making big changes in the military justice
system to deal with sexual
assault, including scrapping the nearly century-old
practice of using a “good
soldier defense” to raise
doubts that a crime has
been committed.
On a vote of 97-0, the
Senate rallied behind a
bipartisan plan crafted
by three female senators
— Democrat Claire McCaskill of Missouri and
Republicans Kelly Ayotte
of New Hampshire and Deb
Fischer of Nebraska — that
would impose a half-dozen
changes to combat the pervasive problem of rape and
sexual offenses that Pentagon leaders have likened to
a cancer within the ranks.
“Unanimous agreement
in the U.S. Senate is pretty
rare — but rarer still is the
kind of sweeping, historic
change we’ve achieved over
the past year in the military
justice system,” McCaskill
said after the vote.
Still, that unanimous support was in sharp contrast
to last week, when military

leaders vigorously opposed
a measure by Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand, D-N.Y., that
would have stripped commanders of their authority
to prosecute cases and given that power to seasoned
military lawyers outside
the chain of command. The
Senate voted 55-45 for that
farther-reaching bill, but
that was five votes short of
the necessary 60.
Though expressing certain reservations, the Pentagon had been generally
accepting of the new bill.
The House could act on
the legislation as a standalone measure or incorporate it into the massive defense policy bill that it pulls
together in the spring.
This “is not the end of
this,” Ayotte said in brief
remarks on the Senate
floor after the vote. “We
will make sure reforms are
implemented, commanders are held accountable
and victims are treated
with dignity and respect.”
The new legislation would
change the military rules
of evidence to prohibit the
accused from using good
military character as an element of his defense in court-

martial proceedings unless it
was directly relevant to the
alleged crime. The “good soldier defense” could encompass a defendant’s military
record of reliability, dependability, professionalism and
reputation as an individual
who could be counted on in
war and peacetime.
McCaskill described it as
“the ridiculous notion that
how well one flies a plane
should have anything to do
with whether they committed a crime.”
The chairman of the
Armed Services Committee, Sen. Carl Levin, DMich., said Monday that
the “military culture has
been slow to grasp the
painful truth that even a
successful professional can
also be a sexual predator.”
Under the bill, the defense could still be used in
the sentencing phase. The
Pentagon has indicated that
it is crucial as commanders
adjust sentences to allow
for plea agreements.
The measure also would
give accusers a greater say
in whether their cases are
litigated in the military system or civilian and would
establish a confidential

process to allow alleged victims to challenge their separation or discharge from
the military. In addition, it
would increase the accountability of commanders and
extend all changes related
to sexual assault cases to
the service academies.
In cases where a prosecutor wanted to move
ahead with a case but a
commander disagreed, the
civilian service secretary
would be the final arbiter.
The Pentagon has reservations about that last provision, suggesting it could
have a chilling effect on majors and captains if they think
every decision gets kicked up
to the service secretary.
Meanwhile on Monday,
at Fort Bragg, N.C., Army
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair was on trial on sexual
assault charges. In his courtmartial, which began last
week, the 51-year-old former deputy commander of
the 82nd Airborne Division
is accused of twice forcing
a female captain to perform
oral sex in Afghanistan in
2011 during a three-year
extramarital affair. He has
admitted to the affair but denied assaulting the woman.

Igmidio Mista appears in Fremont Municipal Court on Monday in Fremont, Ohio. He is charged with shooting and
killing three people in a Fremont bar early Sunday morning.

Arrest made in Ohio bar shooting that killed three
FREMONT, Ohio (AP) — An
off-duty police officer celebrating
his birthday and two other men
were shot and killed at a northern
Ohio nightclub over the weekend
after an argument erupted when
the shooter punched the officer’s
wife, relatives said.
Police arrested 33-year-old Igmidio Mista, of Fremont, on Monday morning and charged him
with opening fire inside the Last
Call Bar early Sunday.
A warrant issued just hours before the arrest charged Mista with
three counts of murder.
Officers found Mista at a home
in Fremont, police said. He came
to the door after a relative had
met the officers, and he was taken
into custody without incident, police Chief Tim Wiersma said.
A judge on Monday ordered
that Mista be held without bond.
City Prosecutor Jim Melle called
Mista a flight risk, saying he has
used relatives to evade authorities

in the past and he is not a U.S.
citizen. A message seeking comment was left with his attorney.
Killed in the shooting were
26-year-old Elmore police Officer
Jose Andy Chavez, 28-year-old
bartender Ramiro Sanchez, and
a 25-year-old customer, Daniel
Ramirez. A fourth man shot at the
bar, 25-year-old Ramiro Arreola,
was taken a hospital with injuries
believed to be non-life-threatening.
“A little scuffle broke out, he
felt he needed to pull a gun out,”
Arreola told The (Fremont)
News-Messenger. “Just started
shooting everybody, innocent bystanders.”
Manuel Chavez, the slain officer’s
uncle, said the shooting occurred
after a man approached Chavez’s
wife and began arguing her with,
then punching her in the face.
“My nephews jumped on this
guy,” Manuel Chavez told the
Sandusky Register.

The man then left the bar and
came back in a side door and began shooting, Manuel Chavez said.
The officer’s wife, who would
not provide her name, told The
(Toledo) Blade that she had been
punched before the shooting
started.
Wiersma said Sunday that the
shooter had been in the bar for
some time and may have gotten into a fight with another patron “when things went horribly
wrong.”
Jose Andy Chavez had been at
a birthday party for his daughter
on Saturday night when Ramirez
suggested they go out to celebrate
the officer’s birthday, which had
been earlier in the week, Manuel
Chavez said.
The officer and his wife had two
young children. He had been with
the Elmore Police Department for
more than two years and was an
“exemplary” officer, Sgt. Jeffrey
Harrison said in a statement.

W.Va. lawmakers finalizing budget tapping reserves
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — West Virginia
lawmakers are ironing
out kinks in an electionyear budget that avoids
tax hikes and gives public
workers raises.
But before statehouse
leaders can tout the positives, they’ll begrudgingly
look to dig into millions of
dollars in savings.
A dreary budget picture looms over the 2014
midterm elections in the
House of Delegates, where
Democrats hold a slim
six-seat edge over Republicans. In West Virginia’s
traditionally Democratic
Legislature, Republicans

haven’t controlled the
House since 1928.
House Speaker Tim
Miley, D-Harrison, said
election-year timing plays a
prominent role in delegates’
overwhelming opposition to
increasing the cigarette tax,
sales tax or other levies. All
of the chamber’s 100 members are up for re-election.
“There is always some
fear, by all elected officials
at all levels, wondering
whether the constituents
back home will support
them if they vote in favor
of any tax increase,” Miley
told reporters last month.
Democrats enjoy a wider
majority in the Senate,

where President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, endorsed
a $1 bump to the state’s 55cent tax on cigarettes.
Almost all lawmakers,
however, voted this session to award $1,000 pay
raises for teachers and 2
percent boosts for school
service personnel. Officials say starting teacher
salaries need to be more
competitive with West Virginia’s neighboring states.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s
plan would also give state
workers a $504 raise.
Lawmakers are looking
to balance those spending boosts with the $922
million Rainy Day Fund.

The last-resort account
is considered one of the
country’s strongest, and
lawmakers haven’t used it
to fill a budget hole before.
The House and Tomblin
agree on using $83.8 million
from the fund to balance the
budget, like the law requires.
The Senate is willing to take
$125 million. The shortfall
after February stood at $64
million, said House Finance
Committee Chairman Brent
Boggs, D-Braxton.
Top Senate budget lawmaker Roman Prezioso, DMarion, says once the state
taps $200 million from the
fund, bond ratings could be
in jeopardy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a lot of hot air about a lot
of hot air.
Democrats took to the Senate floor Monday night to talk
about global warming and planned not to let up until morning.
At least 28 senators were expected to participate in the
dusk-to-dawn talkathon, which was led off by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. But several Democrats
who face tough re-election fights in the fall planned to skip
it. Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Mark Begich of Alaska were among them.
Democratic leaders have no plans to bring a climate
bill to the Senate floor this year, so the speeches were
about little more than theatrics. House Democrats pushed
through a bill to limit greenhouse gas emissions blamed
for global warming in 2009, then lost their majority the
following election. A climate bill led by then-Massachusetts
Sen. John Kerry collapsed in 2010 without a vote in the
Democratic-controlled Senate.
Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, one of the organizers,
said the all-night session showed that a growing number
of senators are committed to working together to confront
climate change.
“Climate change is real, it is caused by humans, and it is
solvable,” Schatz said.
The episode follows overnight speeches last year by Republicans Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of
Texas. Paul criticized U.S. drone policy, while Cruz pushed
to take money away from the new health care law.
White House spokesman Jay Carney welcomed the
all-night session, saying it would focus attention on the
challenges posed by climate change and the impact global
warming is having on the environment.
“We commend those who are participating, because it’s
a very important subject that the president is concerned
about,” Carney said, citing a climate action plan announced
by Obama last year. The plan would impose the first-ever
limits on carbon pollution from new and existing power
plants, as well as boost renewable energy production on
federal lands and increase energy efficiency standards.
Schatz, a freshman Democrat appointed to the Senate
last year, said those who question the value of an all-night
session with no legislation involved were missing the point.
“The real question is, why have we not done it sooner
and where is everyone else?” Schatz asked.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said the session was
needed to raise the profile of the issue and highlight obstacles to climate legislation, including ads financed by
Charles and David Koch, conservative activists who have
spent $15 million on Senate races, mostly criticizing Democrats over Obamacare. The Koch brothers, whose interests
include oil, chemicals, textiles and paper, have also spent
millions on ads critical of action against climate change.
Whitehouse conceded that lawmakers do not have the 60
votes needed to act on the matter, even in the Democraticcontrolled Senate, but said the speeches could help change
the debate.
“Tonight is not about a specific legislative proposal,”
he said. “It’s about showing the environmental community, young people and anyone paying attention to climate
change that the Senate is starting to stir and we want to get
some actions going.”
While some Democratic senators weren’t on board,
Whitehouse said the major differences in the debate are
between the two parties.
“There are no climate (change) deniers in the Senate
Democratic caucus,” he said. “There may be a divergence
of views on what the appropriate solution is, but nobody is
out there pretending this isn’t real (or) that this is a hoax.”
Whitehouse and other Democrats said the overnight
event was among several steps being taken by the recently
launched Senate Climate Action Task Force, headed by
Whitehouse and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
Boxer said the event should “wake up Congress to the
dangers of climate change.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said
the talkathon amounted to “30 hours of excuses” from
senators who think it’s OK that “families are losing work
because of government attacks on the coal industry.”
“Well it’s not OK, it’s cruel,” McConnell said. “It’s cruel
to tell struggling coal families that they can’t have a job because some billionaire from San Francisco disagrees with
their line of work.”
McConnell was referring to Tom Steyer, a former hedgefund manager and environmentalist who says he will spend
$100 million — $50 million of his own money and $50 million from other donors — to make climate change a toptier issue in the 2014 elections. Steyer spent millions to
help pass a California ballot measure to boost spending on
energy efficiency programs and help elect Democrats Terry
McAuliffe as Virginia governor and Edward Markey as U.S.
senator from Massachusetts.
“We hope that by standing up all night to talk about climate, that tomorrow will signal a new dawn,” Markey said.

OPINION

Letter to The Editor
Reader feels misdemeanor
investigation into Gallia dog deaths is a joke
Dear Editor:
Way to go, Gallia County Commission and prosecutor!
There were eleven dogs killed by the assistant dog warden
one day before an adoption event where they very possibly
could have found homes, and you people say there will be no
felony charges but you will look to see if there are misdemeanor charges? Are you kidding me?
Tell me, please … were any of those 11 dogs so sick or
vicious that they had to die? I understand that every animal cannot be saved, but these dogs weren’t even given a
chance to find homes. Your assistant dog warden decided
to just kill them — and apparently for no reason. If he was
just bored that day, then why not clean out the kennels or
make sure those dogs were cleaned up and ready for the
adoption event? But no … he decided to take 11 innocent

lives and put them down — and for what?
Any person — I don’t care who they are — that abuses, neglects and/or tortures animals needs to know there will be consequences for their actions — even an assistant dog warden.
How many other dogs/cats has he killed just because he could?
Have any complaints been made against him before this? Did
anyone do a background check before this man was hired?
It severely angers me that animals can just be put down for
no reason, and the person or persons responsible get no more
than a smack on the wrist. From where I sit, this man isn’t
even going to get that! My only hope is that when he tries to
sleep at night, he sees the faces of those dogs as he went to
kill them. I doubt that it will bother him, though, because you
have to have a heart and love animals — which he, very obviously to me, does not!

American hawks risk escalating Ukrainian crisis
By Sheldon Richman
For Ohio Valley Publishing

With Russia and the United States
confronting each other over Ukraine,
the world is at a dangerous juncture.
While the chances of war between
the two behemoths seem small —
these are, after all, nuclear powers that
have avoided war for over 60 years —
nothing can be taken for granted. No
one wanted the Great War that began
in central Europe a century ago this
year either, but things can get out of
control. Governments are run by human beings who, perhaps more than
others, are tainted by arrogance, vainglory and the fear of humiliation.
What’s most worrisome is not what
Russian President Vladimir Putin is
doing in Crimea and threatening to do
in eastern Ukraine. Not that Putin’s actions are good or justified — they are
neither. What’s most worrisome are
the actions of the U.S. government,
which could aggravate the conflict.
U.S. regimes from George H.W.
Bush onward have done their utmost
to demean Russia and its rulers. In
violation of Bush’s promise to Mikhail
Gorbachev, NATO expanded its membership to include states formerly part
of the defunct Soviet Union’s empire
and publicly talked about admitting
both Ukraine and another former
Soviet republic, Georgia. The United
States has also cut deals with former
Soviet republics in central Asia, further putting Russian rulers on edge.
But despite these aggressive U.S.
actions, Putin should not have escalated the Ukrainian conflict by sending troops to Crimea or obtaining his

parliament’s authorization to invade
the rest of Ukraine.
No government is to be trusted, and
among the most fearful components of
government is the military. Thus Putin’s moves toward mobilization are to
be condemned by all who love peace
and oppose war. Any war would kill innocents and run a high risk of careening
out of control. For that reason, Putin’s
responses to events in Ukraine merit
the contempt of all decent people.
But Putin alone cannot heighten the
risk of a big war. That would also require certain moves by the Obama administration. President Obama talks
about imposing sanctions, which is
bad enough. The question is whether
he has the backbone to withstand the
pressure to “get tougher” with Russia.
This pressure comes from the
usual hawks, like the dependably opportunistic Republican senators John
McCain and Lindsey Graham and
Rep. Mike Rogers, as well as the Wall
Street Journal and Washington Post.
Obama, we’re told, is naïve, playing
marbles while Putin plays chess. Do
they not see the hypocrisy of supporting America’s preventive wars while
condemning Russia for violating another country’s sovereignty?
The theme of the Obama-goading is
that Putin wouldn’t have dreamed of
intervening in Ukraine had America
not “retreated from the world.”
The problem with this claim is
that it is utterly without foundation.
There has been no U.S. retreat from
the world. After pointing out that
Secretary of State John Kerry has
both asserted and rejected the retreat
claim, foreign policy writer John Gla-

ser commented, “I can’t think of one
single place in the world where the
United States is withdrawing.”
Not only is the U.S. government
exerting influence, however ineptly,
in Latin America, the Middle East,
Africa and Asia, it’s been heavily involved in the very location under examination, Russia’s backyard.
I agree that Russia should not attempt to control its backyard, but how
many Americans believe the U.S. government should stop trying to manage its backyard? As Glaser writes:
“Our State Department has helped
usher in a change of government in
Ukraine, as Washington continues to
compete with Moscow for influence
in a post-Soviet state that is of no vital
interest to the U.S. Across Europe, in
countries like Germany, Italy, Greece,
Belgium, et al., Washington maintains
military bases and continues to push
for the expansion of NATO.”
Yes, indeed. Talk about bringing
Ukraine and Georgia into NATO
is heard once again. (Through the
“Partnership for Peace” program,
they along with former Soviet allies
Moldova, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and
Azerbaijan are virtually members
now.) NATO, which should have disbanded along with the Soviet Union,
operates on the principle that an attack on one member is an attack on
all. Imagine if Georgia had been a
member when it fought with Russia
over South Ossetia in 2008. Imagine
if Ukraine were a member now.
It’s unlikely any good would come
from more U.S. intervention. Obama
should pull back and resist the confrontationists.

We couldn’t
thrive without
growing Ohio
By David T. Daniels

For Ohio Valley Publishing

The recently released
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2012 Census of
Agriculture validates what
we’ve suspected all along:
the state’s largest industry
is not only maintaining its
strong status, but is also
growing.
From the increase in value of Ohio’s crop and livestock production to gaining more land in farms, we
have a lot to be thankful for
in our state. In Ohio, we
have rich soils, a temperate climate, and adequate
water supplies all ideally
located within a 500 mile
radius of the majority of
the nation’s population.
As we pause for a moment to give thanks for the
natural gifts that we have
been blessed with, we must
also give credit to those
who have built upon our
strengths and have used
agriculture to grow Ohio.
Our planned success has
been an intricate combination of three interlocking
puzzle pieces: rich and
abundant natural resources, a supportive administration working to reduce
barriers, and a network of
stellar agricultural agents.
Without any one of these
links, the census numbers
might have told a far different story.
Ohio has strong leadership in Gov. John Kasich,
who understands the importance of agriculture to
our state. He has worked
hard to reduce barriers like
the estate tax, eliminate
outdated rules and regula-

tions that hinder production, and has spearheaded
initiatives to realign our
workforce with our job
needs and revitalize youth
interest in agriculture.
Let there be no mistake
that we could never experience this kind of success
without the producers
and agribusinesses. Ohio
producers follow industry
practices that are based
on science. Farmers take
care of the land and their
livestock, not only because it is their livelihood,
but because it is the right
thing to do. The fact that
consumers have choices in
production practices in a
world where food production must increase by 70
percent to feed the population is nothing short of
astounding.
These producers provide
the raw inputs to support
the food and other agribusinesses that give us
jobs, boost the economy
and provide us with the
things we need to survive
while, at the same time,
doing it in a way that provides all of us with a better
way of life.
This year, in honor of
Ohio Agriculture Week
(March 10-14), I will be
traveling across the state to
visit many of the agribusinesses and farm families
that have helped contribute
to a growing Ohio.
Without these individuals, an essential link in our
puzzle, our growing food
and agriculture industry
could not thrive, let alone
survive.
David T. Daniels is director of the
Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Girl Scouts asked to end partnership with Barbie
NEW YORK (AP) — A few weeks
after her foray into the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, Barbie
is entangled in controversy again,
this time over her ties with the Girl
Scouts.
Two advocacy groups often critical of corporate advertising tactics
— the Campaign for a CommercialFree Childhood and the Center for a
New American Dream — on Thursday urged the Girl Scouts of the USA
to end its partnership with the doll’s
manufacturer, the Mattel toy company.
The partnership, announced last
August, includes a Barbie-themed
activity book, a website, and a Barbie
participation patch — the first Girl
Scout uniform patch with corporate
sponsorship.
“Holding Barbie, the quintessential fashion doll, up as a role model
for Girl Scouts simultaneously sexualizes young girls, idealizes an impossible body type, and undermines

the Girl Scouts’ vital mission to build
‘girls of courage, confidence and
character,’” said Susan Linn, director
of the Boston-based commercial-free
childhood organization.
She said the Barbie patch — targeted at 5-to-8-year-old Daisies and
Brownies — would transform these
girls into “walking advertisements.”
“This is product placement at its
worst,” said New American Dream’s
executive director, Wendy Philleo,
who described herself as a longtime
admirer of the Girl Scouts.
“Our children are already being
bombarded by marketers’ pitches at
stores, at home, online, on TV, and
in school,” said Philleo, whose Charlottesville, Va.-based group tries to
counter the commercialization of
American culture.
The Girl Scouts’ national headquarters in New York rejected the
groups’ appeal.
“Our partnership with Mattel
focuses on career exploration and

teaches girls about inspiring women
in a fun way,” its statement said. “We
stand behind this partnership, as it
helps us bring to over 2 million Girl
Scouts the message that they can do
anything.”
That’s the essence of the Barbie
uniform patch — a bright pink oval
with a gold-letter slogan stitched on
it: “Be anything. Do everything.”
Barbie — still slim-waisted and
long-legged after 55 years — had
pursued roughly 150 different careers, and she stretched her boundaries again in February by posing along
with real-life supermodels in Sports
Illustrated’s 50th anniversary swimsuit issue. Anticipating the criticism
that ensued, Mattel promoted the
campaign with the catchword “unapologetic.”
In announcing the partnership
with Mattel last August, Girl Scouts
CEO Anna Maria Chavez depicted
both her own organization and Barbie as “American icons.”

How can jet disappear? In the ocean, it’s not hard
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — In an age when
people assume that any
bit of information is just
a click away, the thought
that a jetliner could simply
disappear over the ocean
for more than two days is
staggering. But Malaysia
Airlines Flight MH370 is
hardly the first reminder of
how big the seas are, and
of how agonizing it can be
to try to find something
lost in them.
It took two years to find
the main wreckage of an
Air France jet that plunged
into the Atlantic Ocean in
2009. Closer to the area
between Malaysia and
Vietnam where Saturday’s
flight vanished, it took a
week for debris from an Indonesian jet to be spotted
in 2007. Today, the mostly
intact fuselage still sits on
the bottom of the ocean.
“The world is a big
place,”
said
Michael
Smart, professor of aerospace engineering at the
University of Queensland
in Australia. “If it happens to come down in the
middle of the ocean and it’s
not near a shipping lane or
something, who knows
how long it could take
them to find it?”
Amid the confusion, officials involved in the search
say the Malaysian jet may
have made a U-turn, adding
one more level of uncertainty to the effort to find it.
They even suggest that the
plane could be hundreds of
kilometers from where it
was last detected.
Aviation experts say the
plane will be found — eventually. Since the start of the
jet age in 1958, only a handful of jets have gone missing and not been found.
“I’m absolutely confident that we will find this
airplane,” Capt. John M.
Cox, who spent 25 years
flying for US Airways and
is now CEO of Safety Operating Systems, said Monday. The modern pace of
communications, where
GPS features in our cars
and smartphones tell us
our location at any given
moment, has set unreal
expectations. “This is not

the first time we have had
to wait a few days to find
the wreckage.”
Based on what he’s heard,
Cox believes it’s increasingly clear that the plane
somehow veered from its
normal flight path. He said
that after the plane disappeared from radar, it must
have been “intact and flew
for some period of time.
Beyond that, it’s all speculation.” If it had exploded
midair along its normal
flight path, “we would have
found it by now.”
Malaysian civil aviation
chief Azharuddin Abdul
Rahman, whose agency is
leading a multinational effort to find the Boeing 777,
said more than 1,000 people and at least 34 planes
and 40 ships were searching a radius of 100 nautical
miles (115 miles; 185 kilometers) around the last
known location of Flight
MH370. No signal has
been detected since early
Saturday morning, when
the plane was at its cruising altitude and showed no
sign of trouble.
Azharuddin said the
search includes northern
parts of the Malacca Strait,
on the opposite side of
the Malay Peninsula and
far west of the plane’s last
known location. Azharuddin would not explain why
crews were searching there,
saying, “There are some
things that I can tell you and
some things that I can’t.”
Some aviation experts
are already calling for airlines to update their cockpit technology to provide
a constant stream of data
— via satellites — back to
the ground. Information
about key system operations is already recorded
on the flight data and voice
recorders — the so-called
black boxes — but as this
crash shows is not immediately available. Such satellite uplinks would be costly
and the benefit is debated.
Just about every major
jet to disappear in the modern era has eventually been
found. The rare exceptions
didn’t involve passengers.
In September 1990, a Boeing 727 owned by Faucett

Airlines of Peru was ditched
into the North Atlantic after
running out of fuel on its
way to Miami. The accident
was attributed to poor pilot
planning and the wreck was

never recovered.
More mysterious was
the disappearance of another 727 in Africa. It was
being used to transport
diesel fuel to diamond

mines. The owners had
numerous financial problems and one day, just
before sunset, the plane
took off without clearance
and with its transponder

turned off. It is believed
to have crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. One theory,
never proven, is that it was
stolen so the owner could
collect insurance.

Big Ten touts athletic, academic success
ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — In a
room on the ground floor of its
sparkling new headquarters, the
Big Ten Conference is putting
the final touches on its version of
Cooperstown.
It’s not quite a Hall of Fame.
The Big Ten Experience is a
shrine to the conference’s athletic and academic achievements.
Fans will be able to relive some of
their favorite moments through
a series of interactive exhibits
when the museum opens in the
spring or summer.
“This kind of exhibit exists
in many of our campuses, and
it allows us to create a zone for
capturing the past and telling
our story,” Commissioner Jim
Delany said.
It’s a story that dates to January 1895, when leaders from Pur-

due, the University of Chicago,
Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
Northwestern and Wisconsin
gathered at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago to outline a blueprint for administering athletics.
An opening date for the museum has not been set, but in a
preview last week, this was clear:
At a time when players are trying
to unionize, with former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter
at the front of the pack, and with
former UCLA basketball player
Ed O’Bannon leading a federal
lawsuit seeking millions from the
NCAA, the Big Ten Experience is
focused simply on achievement.
The museum is about the success of the athletes and teams
along with their accomplishments away from the field. This
year marks the 100th anniversa-

ry of the Big Ten Medal of Honor given to one male and female
from each school based on their
accomplishments on the field
and in the classroom. All are recognized here.
The first thing fans will notice when they walk in is a giant
screen in the middle of the room.
Press a button and a three-minute film on Indiana’s Assembly
Hall pops up. Press another and
watch 80,000 fans morphing into
human pogo sticks at Wisconsin
as “Jump Around” blasts through
Camp Randall Stadium. Each
Big Ten member submitted a
video providing the back story
behind a tradition or a sport.
Turn to one wall and behold a
mock basketball court with each
school’s logo, a button by each
one allowing fans to hear calls of

major moments. For Michigan,
it’s Rumeal Robinson hitting two
free throws in the closing seconds to lift the Wolverines to the
1989 NCAA championship.
One touchscreen lists every
Big Ten and NCAA championship team and individual winner
for the current academic year.
On another, visitors can see everything from tight finishes in
football and basketball to huge
dunks and Heisman Trophy winners and Rose Bowl highlights.
Every Sports Illustrated cover
featuring a Big Ten team can be
seen on the screen, too.
An interactive video game
allows fans to catch a football
from, say, an Ohio State quarterback or try to stop a soccer ball
or hockey puck.
There are also athletes’ per-

sonal stories, and details about
community outreach along with
the research and innovations taking place on campuses. Notable
Big Ten alumni such as Gerald
Ford (Michigan) and Neil Armstrong (Purdue) are featured.
“When we moved into the new
building, we were thinking about
our 100-year history and thinking about the student-athletes,”
Big Ten chief communications
officer Diane Dietz said. “We realized it was just in file cabinets
and in people’s heads, and we
thought our schools do it so effectively. Each one of them tells
their story so effectively, but
nobody was bringing to life the
conference history and the conference story.”
The museum’s opening date
has not yet been announced.

The Meigs County Board of
Commissioners are seeking
proposals to provide a comprehensive year-round youth program to eligible youth ages 1421 consistent with Meigs
County s Workforce Development Plan, provisions of the
federal Workforce Investment
Act (WIA), and related federal
and state regulations. In establishing youth activities under
WIA, service providers are expected to link programs with
local labor needs, provide a
strong connection between
academic and occupational
learning, and establish programs which prepare youth for
post secondary education or
unsubsidized employment as
appropriate. Services should
include: determining eligibility
for WIA programs, providing a
comprehensive array of services to eligible youth and incorporating the ten program
elements under WIA. The
Board has allocated a total of
$55,000 (subject of available

Request for Proposal
The Meigs County Board of
Commissioners are seeking
proposals to provide a comprehensive year-round youth program to eligible youth ages 1421 consistent with Meigs
County s Workforce Development Plan, provisions of the
federal Workforce Investment
Act (WIA), and related federal
and state regulations. In establishing youth activities under
WIA, service providers are expected to link programs with
local labor needs, provide a
strong connection between
academic and occupational
learning, and establish programs which prepare youth for
post secondary education or
unsubsidized employment as
appropriate. Services should
include: determining eligibility
for WIA programs, providing a
comprehensive array of services to eligible youth and incorporating the ten program
elements under WIA. The
Board has allocated a total of
$55,000 (subject of available
funds) for the older and younger youth program. The Board
has a strong preference toward a single contract incorporating both youth programs
and components. Contract
period will be for the period of
July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.
Administrative cost may not
exceed 10% of the total contract award. In addition, 30% of
the total contract award must

Rebels
From Page 6
Wheeler and Spurlock
each had five rebounds to
lead the Rebels, followed
by Landon Hutchinson
with four. Greer had a
game-high six assists,
while Wheeler marked
two. Spurlock paced the
defense with three steals,
followed by Wheeler with
two steals and Slone with
a block.
South Gallia struggled
with foul trouble throughout the night, with
both Greer and Landon
Hutchinson setting out for
extended breaks.
“It changes us completely,” Howell said. “We
know longer are an attacking team, which was
the game plan coming in,
when Brayden and Landon

aren’t in the game. It really
changes the entire makeup of the game, Joseph
Ehman didn’t do a bad job
he just doesn’t have the
expierence that Brayden
has. Really from the second quarter on we had to
change who we are.”
Peebles was led by district player of the year Beau
Justice with 32 points, followed by Zach Arrasmith
with 16 and Cody Ireton
with six. Eric Schmitz had
four points, Tyler Ryan and
Scout Kremin both added
three, while Brody Johnson
marked two in the triumph.
PHS shot 18-of-44 (40.1
percent) from the field and
25-of-36 (69.4 percent)
from the free throw line.
Peebles had 41 rebounds,
eight assists, six steals and
22 turnovers.

The Indians were led by
Ireton with eight boards,
followed by Justice with
five. Arresmith had a team
best three assists, while
Ireton led the defense with
three steals.
“Swain did a great job
guarding Justice,” Howell
said. “When we tried to
find a matchup for Justice
we looked at who has the
most heart and that’s who
Ethan Swain is. He may
not be the fastest or strongest but he has the most
heart and the most smarts,
He cares about guarding
the other team’s top player
and along with his teammates I think he did an
awesome job of making
everything tough.”
This is the third district
title for the Indians, with
the other two came in

1984 and 1974.
This marks the final
game for South Gallia seniors Ethan Spurlock, Gus
Slone, Ethan Swain, Chris
Johnston, Jared Calhoun
and Mikey Wheeler.
“These seniors have kind
of set the standard to what
I want our program to be,”
said Howell. “This group
wasn’t supposed to be
very good, they didn’t have
much success at a young
age but the time they have
put in they deserve this.
They’ve led this younger
group and now they have

regional semifinal where
the Indians will face the vocation Center. The other Canal Winchester Harvest

Burdette
From Page 6
Afterwards, sixth-year EHS
coach John Burdette spoke about
the feeling of getting back to the
Final Four — as well as getting
another step closer to the ultimate prize that he and the Lady
Eagles are shooting for.
“We still haven’t reached our
goal, but we are tickled to make
it back to state. It’s awesome,”
John Burdette said with a smile.
“It’s great for the girls and great
for everyone that was here supporting us. We are thrilled to be
headed back to Columbus, but
we still have some work to do to
get where we want to be.”
For all that Jenna Burdette
provided in the scoring column,
it was actually Eastern’s overall
approach that reaped the most
benefits over the course of the
game. The Lady Eagles paid a
special eye to juniors Jill Blacksten and Ashleigh Parkinson on
both ends of the floor, hoping to
land one or both of the six-footers in foul trouble.
And Parkinson accommodated
that plan early on, as the No. 2
scorer for NCHS picked up her
second personal at the 3:55 mark
of the first — then followed seven seconds later with her third
foul, forcing her to the bench
over the final 11-plus minutes of
the first half.
The Lady Eagles — who never
led in the first quarter and trailed
9-8 after eight minutes — went
on a 25-18 run during that 11:48
span without Parkinson, giving
the guests a 29-23 intermission
advantage.
Jenna Burdette scored 17 of
Eastern’s first 19 points to start
the second period, which helped
the guests gradually pull away
for the two-possession edge at
the break.
There were four ties and 12
lead changes in the opening 16
minutes of play, with the halftime
difference being the largest lead
for either squad. Newark Catholic held a trio of three-point edges in the opening period of play.
EHS had five turnovers and
connected on 12-of-32 shot attempts in the first half, which
included a 2-of-12 effort from
three-point range. NCHS, con-

versely, netted 2-of-9 trifectas
and 7-of-22 field goal attempts
overall while committing 10 miscues before intermission.
Parkinson returned to the lineup at the start of the second half,
and Newark Catholic immediately took advantage of her presence — as the junior contributed
four points to an 11-4 run that allowed the hosts to secure a 34-33
lead with 3:48 remaining in the
third stanza.
Burdette made a personal 4-0
run over the next 1:07, which
also included drawing the fourth
foul on Parkinson with 2:41 left.
Parkinson, however, stayed in
the game and capped a 4-0 spurt
over the next 31 seconds — giving NCHS the lead back at 38-37.
Jordan Parker reclaimed the
lead for EHS with a trifecta at
the 2:01 mark, but Kelly Clapper
answered 22 seconds later with
a three-pointer — allowing the
Green Wave to claim what would
be their final lead of the night at
41-40 with 1:39 left.
Burdette needed just nine seconds to erase the Lady Eagles’
deficit, as her old-fashioned
three-point play ultimately allowed the guests to take a 43-41
edge into the finale.
Blacksten netted two free
throws 49 seconds into the
fourth, which tied the game at
43-all. Erin Swatzel made a basket for Eastern at the 6:52 for the
final lead change of the night,
then Burdette tacked on a bucket
for a 47-43 edge.
Parkinson countered with 6:01
left in regulation as her final basket of the night trimmed the deficit down to two, but Burdette
drew Parkinson’s fifth foul just
eight ticks later while converting
an old-fashioned three-pointer
— giving EHS momentum with
a 50-45 lead and 5:53 remaining.
Burdette’s and-one conversion
was the start of the 10-0 run that
lasted until Laura Pullins made
a layup at the 2:53 mark, giving
the Lady Eagles their largest
lead of the night at 57-45. Newark Catholic was never closer
than 59-51 with 51.7 seconds
from that point on.
Two of Parkinson’s five fouls
came on player-control calls, and
that defensive intensity ultimate-

ly limited the Green Wave to just
17-of-52 shooting for 33 percent
— including a 5-of-20 effort from
three-point range. NCHS also
missed its first eight shot attempts in the fourth quarter.
“We knew what we had to do
coming into the game and the
girls listened to what we talked
about wanting to do. We wanted
to attack their bigs and try to get
them in foul trouble,” Coach Burdette said. “We knew they were
going to be aggressive going to
the hole and that we could pick
up some charges, which we did.
I’m proud of the defensive effort
that the kids gave tonight.”
The loss of one of his best
players made things particularly
tough on Newark Catholic coach
Rob Smith, who is still trying to
get the Green and White to their
first state tournament since the
1987 campaign. Yet, as hard as
the final outcome was to swallow, Smith didn’t hesitate to pay
respect to the Lady Eagles.
“Obviously, losing Ashleigh
changed everything on our part.
We can make all the excuses in
the world, but we just didn’t get
it done,” Smith said. “That’s a
pretty good team on the other
side right there and they have
what I think, offensively, is the
best guard in the state in Jenna
Burdette.
“We stayed in it by staying
the course and hitting some big
shots to make some runs, but
Burdette just kept matching everything we did. I don’t think
there is another kid in this state
that can guard that girl. She just
killed us off the dribble tonight.”
Burdette finished the night by
making 15 field goals — including one trifecta — and going a
perfect 6-of-6 at the free throw
line. The University of Dayton
signee also collected four rebounds, two steals and a teambest five assists in the triumph.
Eastern connected on 24-of57 shot attempts for 42 percent,
including a 3-of-15 effort from
three-point range for 33 percent.
The guests committed just eight
turnovers and were outrebounded by a 32-29 overall margin, but
both squads hauled in 12 offensive caroms.

zel contributed 10 points apiece
to the winning cause, while Laura Pullins and Katie Keller each
added two markers apiece. Swatzel also posted a double-double
with a team-high 12 rebounds.
Maddie Rigsby — who took
turns guarding both NCHS
bigs throughout the evening —
rounded out the winning tally
with one point. EHS was 11-of15 at the free throw line for 73
percent.
Blacksten — a two-time D-4
Central District POY selection
— led the Green Wave with a
double-double effort of 24 points
and 17 rebounds, while Parkinson and Jenna Bourne respectively added 11 and six markers.
Kelly Clapper contributed five
points and Makenzie Lawrence
chipped in four markers, while
Ivy Durbin rounded out the scoring with two points. NCHS was
13-of-17 at the charity stripe for
76 percent.
Eastern becomes just the
eighth Southeast District school
to qualify for a girls state basketball tournament multiple times,
and also joins both Logan (199192) and Sardinia Eastern Brown
(2000-02) as the only programs
to make consecutive Final Four
appearances from the region.
The Lady Eagles are still the
only program from the Southeast

District to ever advance to an
OHSAA semifinal contest at the
D-4 level.
Having been in this situation
before, EHS coach John Burdette
believes that it should be another
couple of business-as-usual days
while his troops prepare for Columbus. It will also be the final
week of practice for five storied
seniors, a quintet that wants to
go out on a good note.
With any luck, and a lot of effort, Burdette believes that this
group is just as capable of coming home with some hardware as
anyone.
That is, as long as they are still
willing to work for it.
“We are down to four teams
and everybody is going to be
good,” Burdette said. “We
weren’t nervous last year and
I can’t imagine the girls being
nervous again this year. We just
have to go out and keep doing
the little things that make us successful.
“I’ll hate to see this season end
either way after this weekend,
but we do have one more week.
This is what we’ve worked all
these months for and now it’s
time to finish some business.”

Cavs’ Bennett out three
weeks with knee injury
CLEVELAND (AP) — Anthony
Bennett’s rough rookie season hit a
new bump.
The Cavaliers’ first-year forward
will miss at least three weeks with
a strained left knee, the latest setback for the No. 1 overall pick who
has been a major disappointment
for Cleveland.
Bennett underwent an MRI on
Sunday that showed a strain to
his left patellar tendon. He played
eight minutes in Saturday’s home
loss to the New York Knicks.
The injury is another obstacle
for Bennett, who has shown some
improvement lately and signs of
developing into a rotational player.
“He’s been coming along,” Cavs
coach Mike Brown said following
practice at Cleveland Clinic Courts.
“He’s had some pretty good games
for us on both ends of the floor. So
it’s tough with the amount of time
left in the season, but it’s part of
this.”
The Cavs expected to endure
some growing pains with Bennett, who played just one season
at UNLV. The Canadian came into
training camp overweight after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder and then it was learned he suffers from asthma, seasonal allergies
and sleep apnea.
Bennett has appeared lost at
times on the floor, and it hasn’t
helped that he’s put added pressure
on himself trying to live up to being the top pick.
Through it all, Bennett has
continued to work hard and there
have been flashes of the 6-foot-8,
260-pounder’s immense talent and
potential.
The Cavs will likely take a cautious approach with Bennett, and
unless they move themselves into
playoff position, it’s possible his
season could be over. Bennett’s

averaging only 4.1 points and 2.9
rebounds in 13 minutes per game.
Also, Cavaliers All-Star point
guard Kyrie Irving was sick and
missed practice Monday. He’s not
expected to miss any time and
should be able to travel with the
team, which begins a crucial threegame road trip on Wednesday in
Phoenix.
The Cavs are running out of time
to get back into the playoff mix.
They enter the week tied with the
Knicks in 10th place in the Eastern
Conference, 3 1-2 games behind
Atlanta for the eighth postseason
spot. After facing the Suns, the
Cavs will visit Golden State and
the Los Angeles Clippers.
Next week, the Cavs travel to Miami, Oklahoma City and Houston.
The good news is that they’re
getting healthier.
Center Anderson Varejao returned to the lineup Saturday after missing 12 games with a back
issue and his minutes will likely
increase over the next few games,
Brown said. The Cavs will also
have swingman C.J. Miles back in
their rotation after he missed nine
games with a sprained ankle.
Owner Dan Gilbert vowed his
team would be back in the playoffs
for the first time since 2010, but
that pledge won’t happen if the
Cavs don’t start stringing wins together.
On their last West Coast trip,
they went 3-2 and played with confidence that carried them for several weeks.
“We need to play well, obviously
with where we’re sitting,” Brown
said. “I’m looking forward to it and
I think the guys are, too. Hopefully
we’ll do what we’re capable of and
come back feeling good about ourselves.”
