Mason Commission updated on AEP Sporn Plant
Beth Sergent

bsergent@civitasmedia.com

MASON COUNTY — The
Mason County Commission
was recently updated on Appalachian Electric Power’s (AEP)
Philip Sporn Plant in New Haven which is set to cease operations on Jan. 1, 2015.
Steve Stewart of AEP spoke
at the most recent commission
meeting, updating Commissioners Rick Handley, Miles Epling
and Tracy Doolittle on the
company’s plans for what has
become a type of landmark in
Mason County.
Stewart said AEP has filed a
petition with the Public Service
Commission of West Virginia to
purchase some power generation
in West Virginia owned by Ohio
Power at the John Amos Plant
and Mitchell Plant, as well as the
Dresden Plant which is powered
by natural gas. Stewart said by
purchasing this power, it will
help replace what will go offline

when Sporn goes dark.
“This will make us owners, not
renters,” Stewart said.
As for employees at Sporn,
Stewart said the plan is to offer
retirement plans to those who
are eligible or shift employees to
other plants.
Stewart said in terms of the
site itself, AEP simply doesn’t
know what it is going to do with
it and likely won’t do anything
with the property for awhile.
Stewart said he’s often asked
why AEP didn’t retrofit and update the Sporn plant with new,
more environmentally friendly
equipment such as the “scrubbers” installed at other facilities.
He said this option was looked at
but would’ve cost an estimated
$400 to $500 million to do update an already aging plant.
Stewart said the PSC has also
requested a vegetation mitigation plan from AEP and the company hopes to eventually be on
a four-year maintenance cycle.
Right now, the plan is basically

to respond “as needed.” AEP
spends $30 million on tree trimming annually in West Virginia.
In other commission news:
County Administrator John
Gerlach updated commissioners on the remodel of the building formerly known as the Point
Pleasant Hardware building.
Gerlach said a representative
from the office of West Virginia
State Fire Marshal looked at the
building and said the stairs had
to be extended to go all the way
to the third floor to provide adequate fire escapes. Also, these
stairs needed to be enclosed in
fire-rated material. Gerlach said
it wasn’t known at this time what
this latest addition to the project
would cost.
The project for interior remodeling currently has an estimated
cost of $750,000. Gerlach said
bids should go out possibly in
March or April with construction to begin in the summer and
completed by the end of the year.
The first floor of the building will

be the new home of the Mason
County Sheriff’s Department.
There is a third floor apartment
already in the building and it’s
a possibility the commission
might rent the apartment to a
tenant for extra revenue.
Gerlach also reported he’d met
with officials in Mason about the
historic Lewis home. The plan is
to get the front of the house dismantled and this facade placed
on a model of the home at the
W.Va. State Farm Museum where
period artifacts will also be displayed. The rest of the home will
be torn down because it’s too dilapidated and aged to be moved.
The town of Mason will continue to maintain the park where
the home sits - this property is
owned by the county.
County Clerk Diana Cromley
said she’d recently attended a
Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority meeting and recommended the commission continue to apply for funds from the
organization. Cromley suggested

one project that could be eligible
for funding is the installation of
a sprinkler system at the courthouse - currently, there is none.
Gerlach also said a portion of
the roof needs repaired. After a
recent rain the roof leaked inside
the old jail but it did not leak
above the Circuit Clerk’s records
room where repairs had taken
place late last year.
Handley reported a representative from Rep. Nick J. Rahall’s
office will meet with the commission from 1:30 p.m. - 3 p.m. on
Feb. 12 to discuss various needs
around the county - one of these
being, the completion of U.S. 35.
Doolittle was appointed as the
commission’s representative to
the Polymar Alliance Zone.
In addition to Handley, Epling,
Doolittle, Gerlach, Cromley and
Stewart, also attending the meeting were Jack Fowler of the
Point Pleasant River Museum,
Jason Sims and Darby Dennis,
students at Marshall University’s
Mid-Ohio Valley Center.

For the past 28 years The Maples has been “home” to several hundred elderly and/or handicapped residents.

Life at The Maples
POMEROY — Twenty-eight
years ago this month, senior
citizens
and
handicapped
adults were moving into The
Maples, a brand new 46-unit
$1.7 million apartment complex built on a lot adjacent to
the Meigs County Senior Citizens Center in Pomeroy.
The location was strategic in
that it is but a short walk to the
Center where seniors can take
their meals, socialize and participate if they want to in a variety of recreational activities.
Many have done just that over
the past 28 years.
Building the housing complex was the dream of Eleanor
Thomas, first executive director
of the Meigs County Council on
Aging. She recognized from her
daily contact with seniors the
dire need for improved housing Opal Jean Tyree and Jimmy Cummins, longtime residents of The Maples, have

money out there in various

forms to assist families with
paying for college,” said Rio
Grande Director of Financial
Aid Zana Smith. “In order
to access any of it, however, prospective students
need to have their FAFSA
properly submitted on time.
College Goal Sunday is a
tremendous resource in
making sure you’re best positioned to receive financial
assistance.”
College Goal Sunday is

ODNR Passport to Fishing
instructor training planned
ATHENS — Any adult, group or conservation club who
has a sincere interest in taking kids fishing should consider
becoming a certified Passport to Fishing instructor, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR)
Division of Wildlife.
A Passport certification course is being offered on Tuesday, February 12, at the Wildlife District Four Office. Passport to Fishing is a one-day instructor training program that
qualifies individuals to become Division of Wildlife certified
fishing instructors, similar to a hunter education instructor.
This workshop is free of charge and will take place from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. The Wildlife District Four Office is located at
360 E. State Street, Athens, Ohio 45701.
Passport to Fishing was developed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and adopted by the Recreational Boating
and Fishing Foundation. Workshops teach volunteers the basics of fishing and how to run a four-station fishing program
with a fishing event. These instructors then go back to their
communities, with a written curriculum and training aids, to
teach kids and beginning anglers the basics of fishing.
By becoming a certified instructor, you will not only be
able to help in reconnecting students with the outdoors, but
you will also have the skills and resources to help you do it
in a more successful way. Resources available include grants,
equipment, publications and brochures, and training.
For more information or to register for the workshop,
please call Chelsea at (740)589-9942. For additional class

Bob Evans awards $100K to University of Rio Grande
Staff Report

GDTnews@civitasmedia.com

RIO GRANDE — The
Hospitality Management
program at the University
of Rio Grande/Rio Grande
Community College has
received a $100,000 gift
from the Bob Evans Farms
Foundation, designed to
further develop the dynamic new program.
Rio Grande’s innovative
management training pro-

gram was launched in the
fall and offers accredited
bachelor’s and associate
degrees with the opportunity for students to gain
real-world experience, and
course credit, while working for Bob Evans.
“Bob Evans Farms has
long been a pillar of the
southeastern Ohio economy, and this grant is a creative way to continue that
outstanding
tradition,”
said Rio Grande President

Dr. Barbara Gellman-Danley. “Our Hospitality Management program offers
students a unique launch
point into an industry
that continues to thrive
despite a struggling economic climate.”
Gellman-Danley
said
the grant allows for further development of the
Hospitality Management
program and increased
enrollment, which will in
turn improve the econom-

ic impact on the region.
The grant stems from
the sale of the former
Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
transportation center in
Bidwell, Ohio. Sold to
the Gallia County-based
Foster Sales and Delivery,
a portion of the proceeds
went to the Bob Evans
Farms Foundation to continue the philanthropic
spirit of company founder,
Bob Evans.
“We’re so pleased to sup-

port education with this
gift — a cause that was so
important to our company’s founder,” said Joe Eulberg, executive vice president of Human Resources
for Bob Evans Farms. “And
we’re thrilled to help prepare the students of southeastern Ohio for careers
in the growing hospitality
industry.”
Fall 2013 enrollment
for Rio’s Hospitality Management program opens

March 4. Students interested can visit Rio.edu/
business/Hospitality.cfm
or contact the Rio Admissions Office at 800-2827201 for more information.
The University of Rio
Grande/Rio Grande Community College is the only
combined private university and public community
college in the country. Rio
serves more than 2,400
students annually.

Dear J.P.: You sound
very frustrated and more
than a little bit insulted
by your friend’s view of
you. Instead of being duly
impressed with your credentials, your accomplishments and the way you
have your head — and
your life — together, he
is trying to carve out a
place in your world where
he can make an impact. It
wouldn’t surprise me if he
has a list of accomplishments of his own, based
on motivating people,
freely giving advice and
helping them get through
some of their problems
and live an emotionally
satisfying existence with a
clear path forward. It must
be disconcerting to him to
have you clearly not be interested in all that he has
to offer.
Try to reflect on the
way he treats you — is it
constant criticism of how
you think, feel or handle
personal situations? If
not, does he seem to admire any of your special
qualities, and is he inspired to help you reach
new heights just by being
himself and doing what
he does? If he makes you
feel deficient or like just
another opportunity to inspire self-improvement in
another, then you should
let him know that you’re
pretty happy with yourself but you appreciate his
warm, humanitarian spirit. He may find his own
happiness in helping others, so don’t expect him
to give up without a fight.
You will be messing with
his self-esteem, just as he
is with yours.

Grandmother: Ala. boy
physically OK after standoff
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) —
The grandmother of a 5-year-old held
hostage for a week in an underground
bunker said Tuesday the boy is OK
physically, but she fears the ordeal
could stay with him the rest of his life.
Betty Jean Ransbottom told The
Associated Press that she cried herself to sleep every night while the boy
was being held hostage, and that she
didn’t sleep much while she awaited
news.
“It was horrible. I never went
through anything so horrible,” she
said.
Ransbottom said the boy seemed
fine in the hospital on Monday after
his rescue, but the family isn’t sure
yet how he is doing mentally.
She said an FBI agent stayed with
the family the entire time the boy was
being held hostage, but officials are
not giving the family much information because of the ongoing investigation. They learned of his rescue when
an FBI agent at the scene called the
agent staying with the family.
Debra Cook, Ransbottom’s sister,
said the family was grateful for the
community’s prayers and support.
Fliers around town asked people to
pray for the boy, and others gathered
at nightly vigils to pray for his safe
return.
“He has gone through a terrible ordeal, and I don’t know if he will ever
get over it,” Cook told the AP. “I just
want him to be all right.”
Earlier Tuesday, Cook had told
ABC’s “Good Morning America” that
the boy was happy and playing with
toys, including a dinosaur.
The boy was abducted from a
school bus last week after 65-year-old
Jimmy Lee Dykes shot the driver and
took the child back to a bunker on
his property. Authorities raided the
shelter after determining Dykes had a
gun, saying he appeared to be increasingly agitated and that negotiations
had deteriorated.
School officials said at a news conference Tuesday that they planned
to have a party to celebrate the boy’s
birthday, which is Wednesday, though
they had not yet set a date for the party. The celebration, likely at the high
school football field, would also honor
the memory of Charles Albert Poland
Jr., the bus driver credited as a hero
for his actions to keep nearly two
dozen other children on the bus safe.
Principal Phillip Parker said his
colleagues were eagerly awaiting the
boy’s return, though he did not know
when that would be.
“We’d love to have him back tomorrow,” he said.
Parker stands at the entrance to
the school every day as the children
arrive, and described the boy as a
friendly, energetic child who comes
up, shakes his hand and then continues on into the school as if he’s in a
hurry.
After FBI agents determined that
talks with an increasingly agitated

Dykes were breaking down, they
stormed the shelter Monday afternoon and freed the kindergartner.
The 65-year-old armed captor was
killed by law enforcement agents, an
official told The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity because the
official wasn’t authorized to speak
publicly about the investigation.
Dale County Coroner Woodrow Hilboldt said Tuesday that officials had
not yet removed Dykes’ body from the
underground shelter. Hilboldt said he
does not know how Dykes died because he has not yet examined the
body. Hilboldt said the body will be
taken to Montgomery for an autopsy,
though he did not know exactly when
that may happen.
Meanwhile, federal authorities
were tight-lipped about specifics of
how they ended the standoff.
Neighbors said they heard a bang
and gunshots, but the FBI wouldn’t
confirm that. Authorities also kept
under wraps exactly how they were
able to monitor Dykes and the boy in
such a confined space.
“We have a big crime scene behind
us to process,” said FBI agent Steve
Richardson of the agency’s office in
Mobile. “I can’t talk about sources,
techniques or methods that we used.
But I can tell you the success story is
(the boy) is safe.”
Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson
said Dykes was armed when officers
entered the bunker. He added the boy
was threatened, but declined to elaborate.
It was not immediately clear how
authorities determined the man had
a gun.
The boy was reunited with his
mother and taken to a hospital to be
checked out. Officials have said he
has Asperger’s syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
The rescue capped a hostage drama
that disrupted the lives of many in
a tranquil town of 2,400 people set
amid peanut farms and cotton fields
some 100 miles southeast of the state
capital of Montgomery.
While a town anxiously waited for
days, authorities had been speaking
with Dykes though a plastic pipe that
led into the bunker. The shelter was
about 4 feet underground, with about
50 square feet of floor space, built like
the tornado shelters frequently found
in the South.
Authorities sent food, medicine and
other items into the bunker, which apparently had running water, heat and
cable television but no toilet.
The standoff unfolded just a few
hundred yards from U.S. 231, a busy
four-lane highway where both sides of
the road were lined with law enforcement vehicles from local, state and
federal authorities.
When it was over, one acquaintance, Roger Arnold, commented:
“He always said he’d never be taken
alive. I knew he’d never come out of
there.”

Jury convicts Ohio man
in septic tank body case
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio
(AP) — A man charged in
the slaying of his daughterin-law, who was strangled
and dumped in a septic
tank, was found guilty of
aggravated murder and
other charges on Monday.
A jury in Chillicothe
deliberated about three
hours before reaching its
verdict for 48-year-old William Inman in the killing
of 25-year-old Summer Inman in March 2011. The
trial was moved to Chillicothe in Ross County after
attempts to seat a jury in
Hocking County were unsuccessful.
William Inman, who denied killing his daughterin-law and blamed his son
for her death, could face
the death penalty when
he is sentenced. Jurors are
expected to return to court
Wednesday to consider
that.
Inman’s attorney and
the prosecutor said they
couldn’t comment until
that process is complete.
Inman’s 28-year-old son,
William Inman II, was con-

victed last year of aggravated murder, kidnapping and
other charges in the case
and was sentenced to life in
prison without parole. William Inman’s wife, 48-yearold Sandra Inman, pleaded
guilty last year to murder,
kidnapping and other charges and was sentenced to 15
years to life in prison.
Summer Inman had filed
for divorce from William
Inman’s son and was seeking custody of the couple’s
three small children. She
was abducted in Logan in
Hocking County on March
22, 2011, then was strangled with a zip tie and was
dumped in an underground
septic tank behind a church
near Nelsonville in Athens
County, authorities said.
Her estranged husband
and his parents were arrested, and Sandra Inman
provided authorities with
information that led them
to the body about a week
after the killing.
The Columbus Dispatch
reported that a prosecutor told jurors in closing
arguments Monday that it

didn’t matter who put the
zip tie around Summer Inman’s neck. William and
Sandra Inman and their
son worked together in the
plot to kill her and “that is
complicity,” deputy state
attorney general Paul Scarsella said.
William Inman’s attorneys
had said he didn’t kill Summer Inman. They said he
and his wife helped kidnap
her in Logan, about 45 miles
southeast of Columbus, to
talk about concerns about
their grandchildren and
then tried to cover up for
their son after he killed her.
The son denied killing her.
Witnesses who said
they were out walking in
Logan that night testified
that they heard screaming
and the sound of a stun
gun from an alley next
to a bank where Summer
Inman worked as an afterhours cleaning woman.
They testified that they
saw two men using a stun
gun on a woman who was
on the ground screaming.
Another woman sat behind the wheel of a car,
witnesses said.

that was all they could afford. It also allowed them to have social contact with

paid off in time. She gained the support

It was in the winter of 1983 that ground

been listed on the National Register of

the housing complex required that “the
integrity of the original architecture be
preserved.”
HUD funding was approved for the project and 30 years ago on a cold winter day
like today, the late Richard Jones, a Meigs
County Commissioner, stood before a
large crowd gathered at the site for the

Finding the City on a Hill Minn. shooting victim’s
Dr. Gary Scott Smith
One of the most widely
employed metaphors in
today’s American political
discourse is that the United
States is a “city on a hill.”
Especially popularized by
Ronald Reagan, this phrase
(taken from Matthew chapter 5) has been used by
countless politicians, journalists, and historians in
recent decades to describe
America’s mission in the
world. Its origin is John
Winthrop’s 1630 sermon
titled “A Model of Christian Charity,” which explained what the Puritans
who settled Massachusetts
Bay Colony sought to create — a godly community
that furnished a model of
Christian love and liberty.
Richard Gamble shows
in his recent book, “In
Search of the City on a
Hill: The Making and Unmaking of an American
Myth” (Continuum, August 2012), that the common assumption of this
phrase being employed
continuously and frequently from Winthrop to Reagan is false. Only since the
1950s have pastors, politicians, and historians made
Winthrop’s sermon one of
our nation’s most hallowed
documents. In the process,
Gamble contends, they
transformed Jesus’ metaphor that applies to the
church (along with being
light and salt in the world)
into a national myth about
America’s alleged goal.
Gamble explains that the
primary purpose of Winthrop’s sermon was to argue that Massachusetts Bay
Colony should model Christian love and base aspects
of its life on biblical teaching. Winthrop’s statement
was a proclamation, not a
prediction. Their migration
to the new world and effort to establish a righteous
community
inescapably
made the Puritans a visible
city that could either be a
model of God’s blessing or
chastisement depending on
their conduct.
There’s no extant evidence, Gamble claims,
of anyone quoting from
Winthrop’s sermon before
1838. For two centuries,

apparently no one saw his
sermon as a prophecy of
America’s divine destiny to
be a great nation. Throughout the 19th century, many
prominent Americans also
used Jesus’ metaphor to applaud or admonish various
cities, states, or the nation
without referring to Winthrop. Between 1860 and
1930 “A Model of Christian
Charity” gradually became
widely analyzed in studying the early history of the
Puritans. However, while
orators, historians, and
biographers underscored
the sermon’s emphasis on
Christian love, brotherhood, and establishing a
righteous community, they
did not connect the city on
a hill metaphor with America’s messianic mission or
exceptional destiny.
In the 1950s, however,
prominent
historians
Perry Miller and Daniel
Boorstin sought to make
the city on the hill image
the “keynote of American
history,” and a 1961 address by John F. Kennedy
propelled this powerful
symbol into contemporary
American politics.
Reagan, in dozens of
speeches between 1969
and 1989, converted Jesus’
metaphor into a succinct
summary of what he hoped
the United States would
become—“a shining city
on a hill” that promoted
economic growth, democracy, and peace around
the world. Reagan made
this metaphor essential to
American identity and the
nation’s civil religion. As
a result, since the 1980s
Republicans and Democrats have asserted that
“America, from its earliest
days, was destined to be
a city on a hill.” Both the
political right and left have
crafted “secularized, politicized versions” of Winthrop’s statement without
questioning whether it is
proper to apply this label
to our nation.
Moreover, numerous politicians, scholars, and pundits today use the phrase to
applaud or critique America’s domestic or foreign
policies. They argue that
the Puritans either set the
United States on the path

toward civic and religious
freedom, democracy, and
humanitarianism or toward
“capitalistic exploitation,”
“messianic delusions,” and
interference in the affairs of
other nations. As an independent nation, and especially as a global superpower after World War II, the
United States has clearly
been a city on a hill in terms
of the attention and scrutiny it has received, but this
does not prove, Gamble argues, that it is specially chosen by God to accomplish
His purposes.
Gamble analyzes how
Americans have manipulated this metaphor to serve
their own purposes and explains how the metaphor’s
meaning has changed
throughout American history. Although this “redeemer myth” springs from
a long-standing impulse of
Christians to refashion the
world as they fulfill the cultural mandate of Genesis,
Gamble protests that many
American evangelicals misapply Christ’s charge to the
church to be a visible city
to their nation. Gamble
could have noted that some
evangelicals, most notably
Gregory Boyd and Richard
Hughes, have strongly criticized the typical evangelical
understanding of American
exceptionalism.
Gamble’s book is a clarion call to reassess whether
and how America is indeed
exceptional. Does it have a
special relationship to God
and a divinely-appointed
mission in the world? He
faults Christians for both
misapplying the city on
a hill metaphor and failing to recognize America’s
shortcomings and “lust for
domination.” He correctly
challenges Christians to untangle the metaphor from
its association with the
United States and employ it
where it properly belongs—
to the worldwide church.

The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Sami Rahamim has committed statistics about gun
deaths to memory, folding them into sentences that make his case. He talks like
a lawyer, not a high school senior — no
pauses or filler, no public trace of his pain.
On Sept. 27, Rahamim’s father, Reuven
Rahamim, was shot and killed along with
five others at Accent Signage Systems in
Minneapolis, the company he founded, by
an ex-worker who recently had been fired.
In the months since, Sami Rahamim has
become a 17-year-old lobbyist for reducing
gun violence.
Rahamim has been at the state Capitol
nearly every day for a month, missing
school to push for legislation that would
boost background checks and tighten gun
regulations in Minnesota. He’s spoken at
churches, synagogues and gun violence
forums.
And Monday, Rahamim sat two chairs
from President Barack Obama as part of
a round-table discussion on how best to
reduce gun violence, before the president
took his push to tighten gun laws on national TV from Minneapolis. Rahamim
shared his story and ideas with Obama —
not just as a victim, but as a committed
advocate.
“Nobody would blame him if he were
curled up in a corner crying even until
this moment,” Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison said. “But he’s on his feet. He’s talking
to people about gun violence. He has truly
harnessed his grief.”
Rahamim said he’s not sure if his work
is an outlet for the pain of losing his father.
“I haven’t totally broken down yet,” he
said. “Until that happens, I’m going to
stick with this and see to it that we can
pass the things we want to pass to make a
real positive difference.”
Rahamim traces his political activism
to his father, who emigrated from Israel in
the 1970s. Rahamim went to Washington,
D.C., last summer to learn how to lobby
with the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee. U.S. relations with his homeland were the only issue that mattered to
his father, Rahamim said.
Rahamim said he didn’t think much
about guns or violence.
He was on his way to visit colleges in
Wisconsin on Sept. 27 when he heard
about the shooting in Minneapolis, right
in the neighborhood where his father built
his business. He sent his dad a text: Be
careful.
No reply.
Rahamim said he turned to religion after his dad’s death. He started waking up
at 7 a.m. to go to his synagogue, where
he says the “Mourner’s Kaddish” for his
father every day.
He didn’t wade into the gun control

debate until after the Dec. 14 shooting in
Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and
six teachers dead.
“It hadn’t been enough time,” Rahamim
said.
That night, he went to a Protect Minnesota rally against gun violence in Minneapolis and asked Executive Director
Heather Martens what he could do. Martens said it clicked when Rahamim told
her his name.
“Some people never get involved because it’s too painful. His way of dealing
with this loss is to throw himself into the
task of preventing this from happening to
anyone else,” Martens said.
She said Rahamim’s intelligence, poise
and maturity helped him understand the
issues and memorize statistics quickly.
They’re second nature to him now: Gun
owners are 22 times more likely to hurt
themselves or a family member than an
intruder, he says. Almost 40 percent of
weapons bought in Minnesota weren’t
subject to a background check.
“I consume information. I was never
athletic, so let’s say I have something going for me,” Rahamim joked.
Since then, it’s been nonstop work —
speaking events, strategizing and meeting
with state lawmakers — and very little
school. Rahamim, who lives in the Minneapolis suburb of St. Louis Park with his
mother and sister, is finishing his last two
high school classes by meeting weekly at
the family’s home with a tutor. His mom
and sister weren’t crazy about him missing school until they realized “that this is
something that is really my calling,” Rahamim said.
He flew to New York last month to
talk with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a
staunch gun control supporter. He’ll be at
the president’s State of the Union address
later this month with Ellison. Bloomberg’s
group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, covered travel costs for both trips with a
special fund for victims of gun violence,
Rahamim said.
The president’s visit kicked off a very
busy week for Rahamim. He’ll spend much
of the week at the Capitol, where lawmakers were starting three days of hearings
Tuesday on several bills that he and Protect Minnesota support. They would ban
ammunition magazines of more than 10
rounds; require universal background
checks for all gun purchases; and give law
enforcement more authority to deny applications for permits to carry weapons.
Rep. Michael Paymar, who wrote the
background check bill, said he was surprised at how quickly Rahamim picked up
on the issues.
“At 17 years old, he’s figured the lobbying aspect out, which is not easy to do,” he
said. “He’s right in there, talking strategy
and sharing his ideas.”

Prosecutors want life term for Ohio Amish leader
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Federal prosecutors want a life sentence for the leader of an Amish
breakaway group convicted in a
series of beard- and hair-cutting
attacks, saying it’s highly unlikely
the attacks would have happened
without his involvement.
Samuel Mullet Sr. not only
orchestrated the attacks, but he
also held absolute control over
the members of his Amish settlement in eastern Ohio near the
West Virginia panhandle, prosecutors said in court documents
filed Tuesday.

Mullet is due to be sentenced
Friday in U.S. District Court in
Cleveland along with 15 others
convicted in the hair-cuttings
who live in the settlement. His attorney last week asked for a sentence of 18 months to two years.
The government said the cuttings were an attempt to shame
members of the Amish community who Mullet believed were
straying from their beliefs. His
followers were found guilty of
carrying out the attacks, which
prosecutors say targeted hair because it carries spiritual signifi-

cance in the Amish faith.
The Amish eschew many conveniences of modern life, including electrical appliances and
automobiles, and embrace their
centuries-old roots. They believe
the Bible instructs women to let
their hair grow long and for men
to grow beards and stop shaving
once they marry.
Mullet wasn’t accused of cutting anyone’s hair. But prosecutors said he planned and encouraged his sons and the others and
mocked the victims in jailhouse
phone calls.

His defense attorney, Ed
Bryan, said Mullet has no
criminal history and that the
67-year-old is hardly a threat
to commit any more crimes.
He noted Mullet is facing the
same sentence as those given
to notorious killers including
Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.
But prosecutors say Mullet has
not accepted responsibility for
what happened and that he has
tried to blame the others, including his own children, for acting
on their own.
Mullet also lied to investiga-

tors and tried to hide evidence
in the case, prosecutors said. Before his arrest, he defended what
he believes is his right to punish
people who break church laws.
Prosecutors say they have received 14 letters from Amish in
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York asking for a long sentence
for Mullet.
“I feel he is not safe and fear
for the life of our children,”
wrote one woman, according to
a letter released by prosecutors.
The woman’s name was not released by the government.

Ohio man recovers stolen 300-year-old Bible
MARYSVILLE,
Ohio
(AP) — A central Ohio
man’s heart sank when he
realized that burglars had
broken in and stolen a safe
holding his most prized
possession — a 300-yearold family Bible.
The Bible, written in
German Gothic script and
containing the handwritten
dates of births, deaths and
marriages for seven generations of Tim Shier’s family,

disappeared in the burglary
in Marysville, near Columbus, in December 2011.
But thanks to a bit of
luck, a sharp-eyed family member, local deputies
and Goodwill — which
had ended up with the Bible and then sold it online
— the heirloom is back in
Shier’s hands.
He called it an answer to
his prayers.
“Our family can’t put

a price on that Bible,”
Shier told The Columbus Dispatch for a story
Tuesday. “History can
never be replaced.”
The effort started with
the arrest of four men in
the burglary. A judge offered to give one of the
defendants a break if he
could find the Bible. But
the man came up empty,
saying that he thought
it had been dropped in

some kind of bin.
A few weeks ago, one of
Shier’s cousins saw a reference to an old German
Bible on the genealogy
website ancestry.com. She
called Shier, who called
the sheriff’s office in Union
County where he lives.
Sheriff’s detectives enlisted the help of Goodwill
and tracked it to Louisiana
and then to Georgia. But
the couple who had bought

it wouldn’t send it back
without recouping the $405
they had paid for it.
The
sheriff’s
office
doesn’t buy back stolen
goods. So the Union County police union stepped up
and covered the cost.
“This was no stolen
television,” said detective
Mike Justice, who worked
on the case and is president of the Union County
Fraternal Order of Police

Lodge No. 171. “It’s a family heirloom, and we believed it was important to
get it back.”
On Saturday night, the
treasured book was carried
down the aisle and presented to Shier during the
police lodge’s annual benefit concert at a high school
auditorium.
Shier’s family ended up
donating enough money to
repay the police union.

Stocks rebound on home prices, earnings; Dow up 99
NEW YORK (AP) — The
stock market bounced back
Tuesday following a surge in
U.S. home prices and signs of
recovery in Europe’s economy.
Strong earnings reports also
helped power the gains.
The Dow Jones industrial
average ended the day 99.22
points higher at 13,979.30,
erasing a large part of its loss
from Monday. The index traded
above 14,000 during the day before falling back in the last hour.
The Standard &amp; Poor’s 500
gained 15.59 points to 1,511.29.
The Nasdaq composite was up
40.41 points to 3,171.58.
The rise follows two days
of whiplash. On Monday, the
Dow dropped 129 points, its
worst sell-off of the year so
far, as fears about Europe’s finances resurfaced. On Friday,
the index gained 149 points,
closing above 14,000 for the
first time since 2007. The Dow

is now 185 points below the record high of 14,164 it reached
on Oct. 9, 2007.
After strong gains for stocks
this year, investors are wondering whether they should
sell now, or wait and see if the
rally still has legs, said Brad
Reynolds, chief investment officer at LJPR, Inc.
“The market is extremely skittish right now, that’s why we’re
seeing such big moves,” said
Reynolds.
Tuesday’s advance was driven
by new data showing that U.S.
home prices rose in December
at the fastest pace in more than
six years. CoreLogic, a real estate data provider, reported that
home prices rose 8.3 percent. In
Europe, a measure of manufacturing and service businesses
rose to a 10-month high January.
Estee Lauder rose $3.66, or 6
percent, to $64.71 after reporting earnings that beat analysts’

expectations. Profits surged 13
percent at the beauty products
company as sales in the U.S.
and emerging markets rose.
Computer Sciences Corp., an
information technology services
company, was the biggest gainer
in the S&amp;P 500. CSC rose $3.84,
or 9.2 percent, to $45.75 after
the company said it was raising
its earnings outlook for the year
because its cost-cutting efforts
were yielding better results than
it had expected.
Stocks have gotten off to a
strong start this year. The Dow
advanced 5.8 percent in January, its best start to the year
since 1994, according to data
compiled to S&amp;P Dow Jones indices. The S&amp;P 500 rose 5 percent last month.
Lance Roberts, chief economist at Streettalk Advisors in
Houston, Texas, said that’s related more to the Federal Reserve’s commitment to keep

money cheap than to companies’ performance. If earnings
are beating estimates, he said,
it’s largely because expectations
were so low.
“If you lower the hurdles
enough, companies can get over
them,” Roberts said.
The fact that individual investors are starting to return to
stocks, as they have in recent
weeks, is another sign that the
market is due for a correction,
Roberts and other analysts have
said.
McGraw-Hill Cos., parent of
the Standard &amp; Poor’s ratings
agency, fell $5.38, or 10.7 percent, to $44.92, after the federal
government sued S&amp;P. The government said that S&amp;P knowingly misled investors about the
quality of the mortgage-backed
securities it was rating in the
run-up to the financial crisis
that caused the Great Recession.
The stock dropped 14 percent

Memo gives basis for drone strikes
WASHINGTON (AP) — An
unclassified Justice Department
memo reveals that the Obama
administration has had more lenient rules than publicly known
for when drone attacks can be
launched to kill U.S. citizens
working abroad with terrorists.
The government does not need
evidence that a specific attack is
imminent, the newly disclosed
Justice Department white paper
says, only that the targeted suspect is involved in ongoing plotting against the United States.
“The threat posed by al-Qaida
and its associated forces demands
a broader concept of imminence
in judging when a person continually planning terror attacks
presents an imminent threat,” the
document says.
The undated document surfaced as Obama administration
official John Brennan, who helped
manage the drone program, heads
to Capitol Hill on Thursday for
his confirmation hearing to be
CIA director. The hearing is taking place as a growing number
of senators are asking to see a
still-classified Justice Department
legal opinion that justifies the administration’s position on drones
and is binding on the entire executive branch.
Controversy over U.S. policy
for drone attacks mushroomed
after a September 2011 drone
strike in Yemen killed Anwar alAwlaki and Samir Khan, both
U.S. citizens.
In a speech last March, Attorney General Eric Holder said that
in assessing when a targeted killing against a U.S. citizen is legal,
the government must determine
after careful review that a citizen
poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the U.S. Brennan had made a similar speech
justifying the strikes as self-defense against imminent threat of
attack.
Asked Tuesday about the definition of “imminent threat” at a
news conference on an unrelated
topic, Holder said that “so many
of these things are fact-based” and
that “you can’t examine the terms
without reference to the facts.”
He said such details can be discussed only in a classified setting.

“Our primary concern is to
keep the American people safe,
but do so in a way that is consistent with our law and our values,”
Holder said.
The Justice memo says that delaying action against U.S. citizens
who are linked to al-Qaida would
create an unacceptably high risk
because some al-Qaida leaders
are continually plotting attacks
on the U.S. and the U.S. may not
always be aware of each specific
plot as they develop.
This week, a bipartisan group
of 11 senators asked President
Barack Obama for all legal opinions underlying the authority to
kill American citizens. The newly
disclosed Justice Department
document, first reported by NBC
News on Monday night, represents an unclassified summary of
those legal opinions and may have
been prepared to deflect demands
to see the actual classified legal
opinions.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.,
chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday
that her panel received the unclassified document, and others,
from the administration in June
2012 on a confidential basis. She
said this document, coupled with
other documents and closed briefings, “has allowed the Intelligence
Committee to conduct appropriate and probing oversight into the
use of lethal force.”
Noting that she had been calling for public release of the legal
basis for using lethal force, particularly against U.S. citizens, for
more than a year, Feinstein said
with disclosure of the white paper
“the American people can review
and judge the legality of these operations.”
She added, however, that the
committee continues to seek the
actual legal opinions that provide
details not contained in the white
paper.
The Justice memo does require
that capture of a terrorist suspect
not be feasible and that any such
lethal operation by the United
States targeting a person comply with fundamental law-of-war
principles.
“A decision maker determining
whether an al-Qaida operational

leader presents an imminent
threat of violent attack against the
United States must take into account that certain members of AlQaida … are continually plotting
attacks against the United States”
and that “al-Qaida would engage
in such attacks regularly to the
extent it were able to do so,” says
the document.
The document also says that a
decision maker must take into account that “the U.S. government
may not be aware of all al-Qaida
plots as they are developing and
thus cannot be confident that
none is about to occur; and that
… the nation may have a limited
window of opportunity within
which to strike in a manner that
both has a high likelihood of success and reduces the probability
of American casualties.”
With this understanding, the
document added, a high-level
official could conclude, for example, that an individual poses
an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States
where he is an operational leader
of al-Qaida or an associated force
and is personally and continually
involved in planning terrorist attacks against the United States.
The American Civil Liberties
Union said the document is “profoundly disturbing.”
“It’s hard to believe that it was
produced in a democracy built on
a system of checks and balances,”
the ACLU said.
The document says that the
use of lethal force would not violate the Fourth Amendment of
the Constitution when a targeted
person is an operational leader of
an enemy force and an informed,
high-level government official has
determined that he poses an imminent threat of violent attack
against the U.S.
The document said the courts
have no role to play in the matter.
“Under the circumstances described in this paper, there exists
no appropriate judicial forum to
evaluate these constitutional considerations. It is well established
that ‘matters intimately related to
foreign policy, and national security are rarely proper subjects for
judicial intervention,’” the document said.

on Monday after early reports
about the lawsuit leaked out.
Traders sold bonds as they
moved money into stocks. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury
note, which moves inversely
to its price, climbed four basis
points to 2 percent.
Other stocks making big
moves;
— Cereal maker Kellogg
gained 40 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $58.50, after reporting
fourth-quarter results. It booked
a loss because of a pensionrelated charge, but underlying
earnings rose, helped partly by
the company’s recent purchase
of Pringles chips.
— Dell, the struggling computer giant, rose 15 cents, or
1.1 percent, to $13.47 after the
company announced a $24.4 billion buyout deal led by founder
Michael Dell that will take the
company private at $13.65 a

House opens first
immigration hearing
WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee said Tuesday the nation’s immigration system is “in desperate need of repair” as he
opened Congress’ first hearing this year on immigration. Whether Congress will be able to agree on how to
fix it remained unclear.
The session came as President Barack Obama pushes
for swift action to pass immigration legislation and as
bipartisan Senate negotiators work to craft a bill. But
in a sign of the difficulties to come, the Judiciary chairman, Republican Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, cautioned
against a “rush to judgment” and said each piece of the
issue must be examined in detail.
Goodlatte said there are lots of questions about how
any large-scale legalization program would work, how
much it would cost and how it would prevent illegal
immigration in future.
Obama supports a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country, something many Republicans oppose.
Goodlatte questioned whether another approach
might be possible: “Are there options we should consider between the extremes of mass deportation and a
pathway to citizenship for those not lawfully present in
the United States?” he asked.
His question underscored the discomfort of many
majority House Republicans with granting eventual
citizenship to illegal immigrants, something conservatives often decry as amnesty.
At one point the hearing was interrupted by protesters, apparently young illegal immigrants known as
“DREAMers” brought to the country as children, who
shouted “undocumented and unafraid!” before being
led out.
Yet Tuesday’s hearing, which focused on fixing the
legal immigration system and on enforcement, was notable for the generally measured tone from some Republicans known for strong anti-immigration positions.
Several questioned whether there’s a way short of
citizenship to deal with illegal immigrants, and others
on the panel agreed on the need to allow more highskilled workers to enter the country, a priority for technology companies.
“Let’s not let the more contentious issues and the
idea of comprehensive reform prevent us from passing
something,” said Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala.
It was part of a larger shift by Republicans who have
begun to embrace action on immigration reform in the
wake of the November elections in which large proportions of Hispanic voters supported Obama, helping him
win re-election. Some GOP leaders have concluded
that softening their views on immigration is becoming
a political necessity.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., delivered
a speech Tuesday embracing “an opportunity for legal
residence and citizenship for those who were brought
to this country as children and who know no other
home.” It appeared to be a change for Cantor, who
voted against DREAM Act legislation to allow a path
to citizenship for certain immigrants brought here as
youths.

Fans bet record $98.9M in Nevada on Super Bowl
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sports
fans bet a record $98.9 million
at Nevada casinos on the Super
Bowl, the Nevada Gaming Control Board said Monday.
Unaudited tallies show 183
sports books made $7.2 million
on the football action. The San
Francisco 49ers started out as
a 5-point favorite but the Baltimore Ravens won 34-31.
Odds makers say California
fans drove the unprecedented
handle, flooding Las Vegas and
the Lake Tahoe area with wagers

on the hometown team, which
hadn’t been in the Super Bowl
since 1995.
“Northern
Nevada
gets
swamped with 49er money,”
LVH book director Jay Kornegay
said.
Bookmakers speculated that
the popularity of 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who
played his college football at Nevada, drove some of the betting
among locals.
The previous record was set
in 2006, when gamblers wagered

$94.5 million on the Super Bowl
between the Seattle Seahawks
and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Book makers said they took a
beating this year on proposition
bets, including a long-shot on
whether there would be a safety.
Ravens punter Sam Koch took a
safety for the final score with 4
seconds left.
Casinos retained 7.3 percent
of the millions wagered, slightly
less than the average hold during
the past decade, which has fluctuated from lows of negative 2.8

percent to highs of 17 percent.
The 65 points scored in New
Orleans easily exceeded the
over/under of 49. Gamblers bet
the line down 1 points before the
game to give the 49ers a 3 handicap by kickoff.
Late money poured in for the
“over” wager and for the 49ers,
who have built a reputation as a
second-half team, Kornegay said.
Johnny Avello, director of race
and sports at Wynn Las Vegas,
said the big plays that characterized Sunday’s game and made it

fun to watch were gloomy news
for casinos, which offer a growing list of proposition bets on everything from whether quarterbacks will throw interceptions to
whether teams will score in the
final two minutes of the first half.
“Everything that could’ve happened yesterday almost did,”
Avello said. “All the props — ‘Will
this guy pass by this much?’ ‘Will
this guy make this many receptions’ — all of those were, ‘Yes.’”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Still steaming over the
Super Bowl loss, Colin Kaepernick packed up his belongings in the 49ers locker room and made plans with teammates to work out this offseason.
They won’t have to wait long.
Kaepernick said Tuesday that he’ll be training in the Atlanta area within a week, and the strong-armed and fleetfooted quarterback will bring some of his receivers along
with him. All of it is part of Kaepernick’s quick evolution
from backup to starter that will continue when he enters
training camp as the unquestioned franchise star.
After losing 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans on Sunday, Kaepernick summed up his breakout
second season “as not being good enough.” He said the
Super Bowl loss will stick with him “for the rest of my
life.”
“It’s good to get the experience,” Kaepernick said. “We
should have won that game regardless, though.”
A man of few words and a lot of yards, Kaepernick’s
potential might give 49ers fans reason to be optimistic
more than anything following the first Super Bowl loss in
the franchise’s storied history.
Kaepernick threw for 1,814 yards and 10 touchdowns
with three interceptions in the regular season, starting
seven games after taking over for Alex Smith, who will
likely be traded or released in the coming months to clear
salary-cap space. He also ran for 415 yards and five touchdowns.
Kaepernick really ran away with his new role in the
playoffs.
As San Francisco started utilizing more of the Pistol
offense he made famous at Nevada, Kaepernick threw
for 798 yards and four touchdowns in three postseason
games. He also ran for 264 yards and three scores, including a quarterback-playoff record 181 yards rushing in a
divisional-round victory over Green Bay.
“He was fantastic the entire season,” 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh said. “The stage was not too big for him.
He competed at the highest level and played extremely

MASON, W.Va. — The Lady Falcons regular season finale spoiled by Belpre.
The Wahama girls basketball team dropped its final game of the regular season Monday night in a
61-39 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division loss to
Belpre in Mason County.
The Lady Falcons (2-20, 2-14 TVC Hocking) out

The Lady Golden Eagles answered with a 12-to-2
run, ending the opening period with a16-7 lead.

four minutes off the clock. Both teams scored four
points over the final 4:00 of the first half and the
Lady Eagles held the 27-11 advantage at halftime.
Just 1:30 into the second half BHS expanded its
lead to 23 points but Wahama countered with an
8-to-2 run. The Lady Eagles out scored WHS 9-6 over
the final four minutes of the third period, and they
led 45-25 with eight minutes remaining.
Wahama’s 10-to-4 to begin the finale cut the BHS
lead to 14 points but the Lady Eagles sealed the 6139 victory with a 12-to-4 run.
Sierra Carmichael led the Lady Falcons with 13
points, followed by Paige Gardner with six. Mackenzie Gabritsch and Kelsey Zuspan each chipped in
with five points, while Olivia Hill marked four. Rachel Roque, Bunni Peters and Shalyn Greer rounded
out the WHS offense with two points apiece.
The Lady Falcons shot 3-of-11 (27.2 percent) from
the free throw line and 18-of-47 (38.3 percent) from
the field in the game. Wahama had 29 turnovers and
21 rebounds, while committing 21 team fouls.
Belpre was led by Sierra Barker with 20 points and
Katelyn Hughes with 11. Lexus Cunningham and
Hannah Lawrentz both marked eight points, while
Claudia Hall and Ashley Jenkins each had four. Emily
Hughes, Rachel Packard and Audrea Linton rounded
out the BHS scoring with two points apiece.
The Lady Eagles shot 10-of-17 (58.8 percent) from
the line and 24-of-54 (44.4 percent) from the field in
the triumph. BHS as a team had 27 turnovers and 31
rebounds.
WHS has now lost seven straight games, while Belpre has won seven of its last eight games.

Lot of players going deep from behind 3-point arc
Rusty Miller

The Associated Press

It’s just a simple line painted in a
semi-circle on a basketball floor. Yet
the 3-point arc seems to draw a lot
of attention.
Here are some recent examples of
Ohio prep stars making the most of
their long-range accuracy:
Arlington’s Jordan Freed set a
school record by making 10 3-pointers (in 14 attempts) in Saturday’s
71-30 win over Riverdale, breaking
by one the old record set by David
Metzger during the 1991-92 season;
Vanlue’s John Clymer made his first
six 3-point attempts and was 7-for9 overall, teammate Linden Smith

made his first four 3’s and the Wildcats made a school-record 14 treys
in Saturday’s 74-30 win over Ridgemont; Arcadia’s Miranda Palmer was
a perfect 8 for 8 on 3-pointers and
score 30 points in Saturday’s 58-39
win over Bloomdale Elmwood; Salineville Southern’s Luke Griffith
connected on a school-record nine
3-pointers for 33 points in a 64-42
win over Columbiana, breaking the
school mark of eight set by current
assistant coach Ethan Blatch; and
Lisbon David Anderson freshman
Avery Andric tied a school record
with seven 3-pointers as he scored 24
points in a 64-58 loss to East Palestine.
RECORDS APLENTY: What a

night the Galion girls, and in particular Peyton Beachy, had in a win over
Lucas on Saturday.
The Tigers set a record for points
in the 88-39 win. They also made 15
3-point shots to set another school
mark. Beachy hit 10 of those for yet
another record, and her 40 points
eclipsed the previous Galion record
of 37.
Also, Lucas hit eight 3-point shots,
so the teams combined for an amazing 23.

3) On March 15, 2012, Ebon
C. Moore was cited for: Speeding. Shortly thereafter, the
Meigs County Court assigned
case number 2012 TRD 1023.
This case is currently pending
due to Defendant Mooreʼs Failure to Appear.
4) Defendant, Ebon C. Moore,
was born on January 07, 1976.
He is a 36 year old male who
has been previously convicted
for several criminal offenses.
On May 01, 1998, Defendant
Moore was arrested by the
Charleston Police Department
(West Virginia) for Possession
of Marijuana with Intent, Driving with a Suspended License
and Possession of a Controlled Substance, Marijuana.
Defendant Moore pled guilty
to, and was convicted of, Possession of Marijuana with the
remaining charges dismissed.
Part of Defendant Mooreʼs
sentence was a six month drug
suspension from January 07,
1998, to July 07, 1998. On
March 15, 2012, Defendant
Moore lied to Trooper Jordan
and advised his license had
never been suspended for
drugs. On December 18, 2008,
a warrant was issued for Ebon
C. Mooreʼs arrest by the District Court for Montgomery
County, Maryland for thirtyeight counts of theft, issuing
false documents and forgery.
Defendant failed to appear until he was picked up as a Fugitive from Justice by the Virginia
State Police on January 28,
2009, and waived extradition
into Maryland. In case number
112732C in the Circuit Court of
Montgomery, Defendant Moore
pled guilty and was convicted
of Theft Scheme over $500.00.
Defendant Moore was charged
with violating his probation on
November 09, 2010, and the
violation was ultimately dismissed by the State of Maryland.
5) Defendant Arnett Chappie
Smotherman, Jr. was born on
December 24, 1977. He is a 34
year old male who has multiple convictions, several involving drug activity. On October 17, 1996, Defendant Smotherman was arrested for two
counts of Felonious Assault. In
case number 96 CR 004129,
Defendant was convicted of
one count of Felonious Assault with a gun specification
and sentenced to seven (7)
years of incarceration by the
Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. On October 23,
2009, Defendant Smotherman
was again arrested for Felonious Assault. Seven days later,
on October 30, 2009, Defendant Smotherman was arrested
for Having Weapons while Under Disability. In Franklin
County case number 09 CR
6490, Defendant Moore pled
guilty on February 10, 2010, to
the amended charge of Tampering with Evidence and
placed on community control.
On May 10, 2011, the probation department requested Defendant Smothermanʼs probation be revoked. The reason
for the revocation was that on
March 17, 2011, Defendant
Smotherman was arrested for
Felony Drug Abuse/Possession. On April 14, 2011, a
Franklin County Grand Jury indicted Defendant Smotherman
for Trafficking in Drugs, Possession of Drugs and Tampering with Evidence. In case
number 11 CR 002014, Defendant pled guilty to Possession of Drugs as charged in the
indictment. A sentencing hearing for Defendant was scheduled for May 09, 2012. Defendant currently faces two to eight
years of incarceration for the
Possession of Drugs charge.
Seven days after encountering
Trooper Jordan, Defendant
Smother was again arrested
on March 22, 2012, this time
for Possession of Heroin by
the Columbus branch of the
Drug Enforcement Agency. As
of the date of this Complaint,
that case has not been indicted.

6) Plaintiff reasserts and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 5 as stated
above.
7) Plaintiff asserts that the
above-described property,
money, under R.C.2981.02(A)
constitutes an instrumentality
that is used in or intended to
be used in the commission or
facilitation of any offenses
when the use or intended use,
consistent with division (B) of
R.C. 2981.02, is sufficient to
warrant forfeiture in violation of
R.C. Section 2981.05.
8) Said money is forfeitable
pursuant to R.C. 2981.02, under a civil standard of proof by
a preponderance of the evidence rather than proof beyond
a reasonable doubt in that
money is used to purchase
drugs and then received from
others who purchase drugs.
Without money no purchase or
sale occurs. Large sums of
money on a person who is involved with trafficking and possession of drugs is indicative of
criminal activity.
9) No other person has expressed an ownership interest
in the property.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully prays for an Order
from this Honorable Court, under Count 1, declaring the fol-

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday,
Feb. 6, 2013:
This year you forge a new path.
You also often stop and reflect. This
combination proves to be very effective in your day-to-day life. Recognize
the need to spend more time alone
in order to ground yourself. If you are
single, your friends or colleagues might
prove instrumental in introducing you to
someone who intrigues you. Be careful when meeting this person, as he
or she might not be everything he or
she seems to be. If you are attached,
spend several weekends together as
a couple; it will nurture your relationship. You will see the results quickly.
CAPRICORN reads you cold
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Your willingness to look at
the bigger picture impresses a higherup. This person notes your ability to
impart knowledge swiftly. Your softer
side emerges when dealing with a
child. Your protective nature is very
admirable. Tonight: Put in some extra
hours.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Follow the advice of a
well-meaning associate or partner, as
shocked as you might be by this person’s insights. Even if you don’t think
that you have all the facts, stay kind
and supportive. Ignoring the issue can
only cause a problem. Tonight: Make
weekend plans.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Others could be challenging beyond any level you might have
thought possible. Understanding
emerges from your ability to come to
terms with someone you care a lot
about. You will discover the value in
saying little. Tonight: Catch up on a
loved one’s news.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You will get a lot done ...
and quite efficiently, at that. Be careful when making plans in advance,
because you might need to cancel
them, as you will today. You might be
surprised by an older person’s useful
insight. Listen carefully. Tonight: Go
with a different choice.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Make time to visit with a
child. You might not be sure what your
expectations are with a professional
matter. Your positive attitude and willingness to pitch in can only win you
friends. Funnel your energy toward
completing a project. Tonight: Get
some exercise first.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Understanding what is
expected of you might be difficult. You
could be quite exhausted from trying to
switch gears. Listen to news carefully,
especially if it is coming from a key
person. He or she will share information that could shock you. Tonight:
Follow someone else’s lead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Do not underestimate the
liabilities involved in a work relationship. It might be best to keep things
professional, no matter what the cost.
What you might believe to be a mutual
understanding could be a hot volcano that is on the verge of erupting.
Tonight: Take a long walk.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Be sensitive to how much you
have spent as of late. A little self-discipline in the fiscal area will feel much
better in the long run. Quit worrying
about a potential problem. Understand
what is happening with a child or new
friend. Tonight: Add some mischief to
the moment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Handle a problem first thing
in the morning. Key associates or
loved ones could come into a meeting
with some interesting news. Carefully
evaluate what you hear before launching into action. Do not be surprised if a
key person decides to act up. Tonight:
Your treat.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH By midday, you’ll feel energized. Know that information you might
be keeping from a close loved one or
roommate is fine. Some matters are
best kept to yourself. An unexpected
revelation could shake you up. Do your
best to stay calm. Tonight: Time for a
midweek break.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Your efforts don’t go
unnoticed, even if you feel that way.
Recognize that your hunches have
more validity than you’d originally
thought. Follow-through counts, especially when dealing with a money matter. Don’t forget to count your change.
Tonight: Vanish if you want.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Your playfulness might not
be appreciated by a boss or older relative, but the friends in your immediate
circle love your sense of humor. Be
selective in what you choose to share
with others. Someone reads you far
better than you think. Tonight: Where
all the fun is.

Jackets activate Calvert,
send down winger
COLUMBUS,
Ohio
(AP) — The Columbus
Blue Jackets have activated

left wing Matt Calvert off
injured reserve and have
reassigned center Jonathan Audy-Marchessault
(OH’- dee -MAHR’-shuhsoh) to their American
Hockey League affiliate in
Springfield, Mass.
Calvert, scoreless in six
games this season, missed
Columbus’
last
three
games as a result of a lower body injury suffered Jan.
28 vs. Dallas.
The 22-year-old AudyMarchessault made his
NHL debut on Thursday
vs. St. Louis after being
recalled from Springfield
a day earlier. The 5-foot9, 175-pound forward also
skated in Saturday’s 4-2
home win over Detroit.

Bowl
Named the AHL’s player
of the month for January,
Audy-Marchessault has a
team-high 45 points on 16
goals and 29 assists in 42
games with the Falcons.
ODU fires men’s
basketball Coach
Blaine Taylor
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) —
Old Dominion University
has fired men’s basketball
coach Blaine Taylor.
Athletic director Wood
Selig relieved Taylor of his
duties on Tuesday. Neither
Selig nor ODU President
John Broderick took questions after making the announcement during a news
conference. Taylor did not
attend the news conference.

From Page 6
well. He showed a lot of poise, a lot of
leadership the entire game. I can’t say
enough, really. With Colin, it’s always
just appropriate.
“He’s got the appropriate amount of
competitive fire when you need competitive fire. He’s got the appropriate amount
of happy and joy when it’s the right time to
have that. He plays the game. You just really feel him playing the game, upset when
it’s the right time to be upset. And he does
that with his own personality. I really believe that’s the way people should play.”
Coming up 5 yards short in the Super
Bowl will still haunt Kaepernick forever.
He added only a few more new details
on the final, fourth-down play. He said
he audibled to the corner fade to Michael
Crabtree once Baltimore showed blitz.
Crabtree got tangled up with corner-

back Jimmy Smith, and Harbaugh begged
and pleaded with officials from the sideline for a flag that never came. Kaepernick
remained testy and defiant when questioned about his decision.
“I’ll take Crab one-on-one with anybody,” he said, tersely.
A year after losing 20-17 in overtime in
the NFC title game to the eventual champion New York Giants, one thing the 49ers no
longer have to worry about is a long-term
quarterback.
All of 25 years old, Kaepernick knows
he has time to join Joe Montana and Steve
Young as Super Bowl winners in San Francisco, which had been 5-0 in the NFL’s
marquee game. Being the only quarterback in 49ers history to lose a Super Bowl
is still something that will simmer no matter how many titles he wins.
“We had a good team,” Kaepernick said.
“We just weren’t quite there.”

Players
From Page 6
out a single made 3-pointer.
NOTABLE
ACHIEVEMENTS: Maybe their minds
were elsewhere at their homecoming game because Hanoverton United’s boys made just 1
of 21 shots from the field in the
first half during a 69-25 loss to
Canfield South Range; despite
missing No. 2-leading scorer Jeff
Thomas, No. 3 Norwalk beat
Port Clinton 92-33 in its only
game last week; Clyde’s Derek
Gray finished with 77 points,
26 rebounds, 20 assists in three
wins last week (25.6 points, 8.6
rebounds, 6.6 assists per game)
for the Fliers (11-5); Green
Meadows Conference unbeatens Haviland Wayne Trace and
Edgerton both lost on the same

night, WT having a 12-game
winning streak stopped by Defiance Tinora 57-47, while Edgerton had an 11-game win streak
ended by Holgate 37-31; just 1-16
entering the game, the Sherwood
Fairview girls rallied from a 27-14
halftime deficit to beat Antwerp,
46-43; Collins Western Reserve’s
girls (18-2) put the wraps on a
record fifth straight Firelands
Conference championship with a
53-35 win at Ashland Mapleton,
giving them 33 straight conference wins; Celina’s girls have won
12 straight games — 11 by double figures — heading into this
week; and Ottoville’s girls won
their fourth consecutive Putnam County League title with a
67-45 win over Leipsic, making
the seniors 28-0 in PCL games
in their careers.

PAYBACK: In December, St.
Henry defeated Celina in a holiday tournament semifinal 59-56
on a last-second shot by Kyle
Stahl. The teams met again Saturday night , this time Celina
getting a jumper in the paint by
Ryan Hoyng at the buzzer to give
the Bulldogs a 62-61 overtime
win over the Redskins at the Celina Fieldhouse. Still, Stahl had a
chance to win the game in regulation, but missed on a 3-pointer.
DOUBLE TIMES THREE:
McComb’s Jerry Brown had a
triple-double on Friday, scoring
13 points, grabbing 11 rebounds
and handing out 11 assists in the
Panthers 62-46 win over Van Buren.
PRODUCTION LINES: Findlay’s Austin Gutting went for
20 points and 10 rebounds in a

loss to Toledo Whitmer and followed up the next night with a
30-point, 14-rebound game in
Saturday’s win over Cleveland
East Tech; Vanlue’s Zach Garber, a 6-foot-10 center headed
to the University of Toledo, had
19 points and 21 rebounds (to
go along with 6 steals, 6 blocks
and 5 assists) in a 73-40 win over
Ridgemont; Pam Pierce totaled
33 points, 17 rebounds and four
assists in leading Lisbon David
Anderson past East Palestine,
68-52; and Lexington’s Mason
Willeke scored 33 points as the
Minutemen beat Millersburg
West Holmes 64-57 in overtime,
with the Minutemen outscoring
West Holmes 35-13 in the fourth
quarter and extra time.
REDSTREAKING: The Piketon Redstreaks, who returned

all five starters from last year’s
team that lost to eventual state
runner-up Portsmouth in the
district tournament, are rolling again. They have the inside
track to defending their Scioto
Valley Conference title with an
11-1 record. The Redstreaks are
streaking, having won seven in
a row.
BIG SHOT: Clyde junior and
Indiana University recruit Amanda Cahill buried a deep 3-pointer
with 1:17 left to seal a 52-46
win and deny an upset bid from
Port Clinton (16-3) as the Fliers
(19-0) won a 44th consecutive
Sandusky Bay Conference game.
Clyde had trailed 40-33 with under 7 minutes left in the game,
and the lead changed hands six
times in the final 5 minutes of
the final quarter.

From Page 6
“The safety was awful,” he added. “When
we cashed last night, it
seemed like everyone had
a bet on a safety.”
Casinos paid out at 9-to1 for the safety. Fans who

bet that the 49ers’ final
score would be on a safety
cashed in at 50-to-1.
Sports books also paid
out big last year when the
New York Giants played
the New England Patriots
and the first score of the

game was a safety. Next
year, Avello plans to lower
the odds for that outcome.
Nevada sports books
have lost only twice on
the Super Bowl in the past
20 years, most recently in
2008, when New York beat

the Patriots, costing casinos a record $2.6 million.
Odds makers released
numbers for next year’s
Super Bowl before fans
even had time to stumble
back to their hotel rooms
Sunday night.

RJ Bell of Las Vegasbased Pregame.com made
the Patriots 7-to-1 favorites, with the 49ers and
Denver Broncos following
close behind at 8-to-1.
Gamblers wanted to see
the odds for another Super

Bowl blackout, Kornegay
said, but even Vegas can’t
offer that action.
“We have to stay on the
field of play,” Kornegay said.
“But I’m pretty sure that
some of the offshore books
will have that bet next year.”
