Watterson, 99 50 cents daily FRIIDAY, MARCH 22, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 48 2nd Amendment preservation resolution adopted Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners unanimously approved a Second Amendment Preservation Resolution during Thursday’s weekly meeting. The commissioners received the support of several community members with regard to the resolution, not only at last week’s town hall meeting but in phone calls and office visits since that meeting. Many voiced their concerns not only for their Second Amendment rights, but Constitutional rights overall. The resolution which was also signed by those in attendance at the town hall meeting, will be mailed to legislators at the state and federal level along with the commissioners of the other 87 counties in Ohio and the County Commissioners Association of Ohio. The resolution reads, SECTION 1: The Meigs County Board of Commissioners find that: The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” And that the Ohio Constitution states: Ohio Constitution: Article 1, Section 4 “The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.” SECTION 2: Prohibition on federal infringement of the right to keep and bear arms The Meigs County Board of Commissioners declares that all federal acts, laws, orders, rules, regulations — past, present, of future — that regulates gun ownership in violation of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States are not authorized by the Constitution of the United States and violate its true meaning and intent as given by the Founders and Ratifiers; and are hereby declared to be an act of aggression on our Bill of Rights and a misrepresentation of the intent of Government to secure the rights of the people. Whereby the ratification of such Amendments to the Constitution of these United States in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, must be adhered. The Meigs County Board of Commissioners call upon the Governor and General Assembly of the State of Ohio to immediately pass an act to nullify the implementation within the State of Ohio of any Federal law, executive order or regulations restricting the right to keep and bear arms, it continues, and makes clear that the County will play no supporting role to the federal government in attacks on the 2nd Amendment. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board of Commissioners state that no county paid staff participate in nor allow any county resources be used in the implementation of any Federal law, executive order or executive directive that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. Meigs County is believed to be the first county in Ohio to pass a resolution on the topic according to the commissioners.

Marines killed in training were young, lives ahead CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) — Lance Cpl. Mason Vanderwork loved going to the beach and cruising in his Mustang convertible. He and his wife, Taylor, married the day after she graduated high school and hoped to start a family. The 21-year-old loved being a Marine and had a tattoo emblazoned on his chest, she said, that read, “Sacrifice. Without fear there is no courage.” He was among the Marines killed in a desert training accident this week — most of them young men not yet weathered by life’s hardships. Just 19, Pfc. Josh Martino of Dubois, Pa., had already spent nearly half his young life dreaming of becoming one of “the few, the proud.” He had joined in July and was hoping to marry his fiancee later this year before being deployed to Afghanistan, his mother said. “Since he was probably 8 years old he wanted to be a Marine,” Karen Perry said Wednesday after meeting with military officials to start planning her son’s funeral. “That’s all he wanted to do.” Lance Cpl. Josh Taylor, 21, also seemed to have been born for the Corps. The Marietta, Ohio, native had talked about being a Marine since he was about 5, said his grandfather, Larry Stephens. Josh, too, was planning for a wedding, scheduled for May. Both young men were among seven members of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force killed late Monday when a mortar shell exploded in its firing tube during an exercise at Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada. Eight men were injured. Six remained hospitalized in Reno on Thursday, and their overall conditions were improving. Five were listed in fair condition, and one was in serious, compared with two who had been serious a day earlier. A decade after the invasion of Iraq and nearly 12 years since the United States launched the global war on terror, Americans have become wearily accustomed to the sight of flag-draped coffins being solemnly offloaded at Dover Air Force Base.

Gun control pushes for background checks WASHINGTON (AP) — Gun control advocates are pressing Democrats to make expanded federal background checks for firearms buyers a cornerstone of the gun control legislation the Senate plans to debate next month, calling it the best way for lawmakers to salvage a meaningful response to December’s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is widely expected to include a broadening of the background system in the overall gun legislation, say Senate aides and lobbyists who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal Democratic deliberations. They caution he has yet to make a final decision as he waits to see if senators can strike a bipartisan deal on the proposal. If they don’t, he will have to calculate whether to introduce a more modest overall gun bill without background checks or dare Republicans to scuttle a bolder one that includes the expanded system. Background checks are designed to keep guns from criminals, people with serious mental problems and others. The checks are currently required only for sales involving federally licensed gun dealers, not for private transactions at gun shows or online. President Barack Obama and other supporters say the system helps keep dangerous people from getting guns and should be expanded to virtually all firearms transactions. The National Rifle Association and other opponents say the checks are easily avoided by criminals who get their weapons illegally, and say expanding them would be a step toward a government registry of firearms owners — which is forbidden by federal law. In a hint of possible movement, three senators who have spent weeks searching for a bipartisan deal are considering several options, including one that requiring background checks and record keeping for private sales at gun shows and commercial sales online. It would exclude in-person, non-commercial transactions between people who know each other. The idea was described by a lobbyist and Senate aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private talks. Other exclusions could include gun transactions between relatives and acquisitions by people with state-issued concealed carry permits, and there would be an online system for people in remote areas. Veterans officially determined to have some psychological problems would be given a way to appeal that decision, which would otherwise bar them from getting firearms. The three senators are No. 2 Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York, a liberal; moderate Democrat Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., who has an NRA A-rating for his votes; and moderate Mark Kirk, R-Ill. Schumer has been insisting on record keeping for all private gun sales, saying the files are needed to keep the system effective. That led to stalemated talks with conservative leader Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who says the data would lead to federal files on gun owners. Reid hopes to make procedural moves this week that will let the Senate start debating gun legislation when it returns from a twoweek recess in early April. That will give senators more time to try striking a background check deal. Though unlikely, Reid could leave background checks out of the Senate bill but allow a separate vote on it as an amendment. That would diminish its chances for passage because Republicans would almost certainly force Democrats to get 60 votes in the 100-member chamber, a difficult hurdle. Including expanded checks in the gun legislation would signal either of two courses by Democrats: A feeling that they can win bipartisan support for the measure, or a willingness to essentially challenge Republicans to reject the entire gun-control package and face the political consequences in next year’s elections. On Thursday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a leader of hundreds of mayors seeking stricter gun curbs, stepped up pressure on Congress to expand background checks, saying there it would save lives and win broad public support. “The only question is whether Congress will have the courage to do the right thing, or whether they will allow more innocent people, including innocent chil- dren, to be gunned down,” he said at a New York news conference. “It’s time for the political establishment to show the courage your daughter showed,” said Vice President Joe Biden, standing beside Bloomberg and motioning to the nearby family of a substitute teacher among 26 first-graders and educators killed at Newtown. Days ago, supporters of gun restrictions suffered a blow when Reid decided to exclude a proposed assault weapons ban from the gun bill the Senate will debate. Reid said the ban lacked the 60 votes it would need and including it would risk defeat of the entire package. The ban’s sponsor, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., plans to offer the provision as an amendment that seems certain to lose. The overall gun bill appears sure to include language creating tougher penalties for illegal firearms trafficking and expanding school safety grants. Both received bipartisan support when they were approved earlier this month by the Senate Judiciary Committee and are considered effective by gun curb advocates, but some supporters of firearms restrictions say Congress should do more. “Inadequate for the moment,” said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the group Bloomberg helps lead. “The American public wants and is clearly calling for all those solutions,” said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. “Background checks is a vitally important part of that.” The committee also approved expanded background checks and the assault weapons ban on partyline votes. Asked if the NRA would consider it a victory if the bill were limited to stronger gun trafficking laws and school safety provisions, NRA chief lobbyist Chris W. Cox said, “Is it promising that this discussion is moving away from gun control and toward school safety, enforcement and mental health? It’s encouraging but it’s still early in the process.” The NRA wants Congress to fund more armed guards at schools, step up prosecutions of people who file false gun applications and increase the federal background check system’s access to state records of people with serious mental illness and other problems. Sites From Page 1 stations, libraries, grocery and convenience stores, public transit, YMCAs and other appropriate public buildings — that display the yellow and black diamond-shaped Safe Place sign. These locations extend the doors of the youth service agency or emergency shelter throughout the community. Youth can easily access immediate help wherever they are. Each year between 1.6 and 2.8 million youth run away from home. They leave home to escape abuse or neglect, drug or alcohol abuse by family members, or because they’re told to leave. Sometimes, youth feel that they don’t belong, and leaving home is often not a choice they want to make. They often face other difficult issues — problems at home, issues at school, trouble with peers, being locked out of the house, riding with an unsafe driver, or being in a dangerous situation on a date. No matter what the reason, young people do have a safe alternative. They can go to any designated Safe Place site to get immediate help. Sojourners Safe Place sites include: Athens County — Big Mamma’s Burritos (Athens), Donkey Coffee and Expresso (Athens), Goodwill (Athens), Nelsonville Community Center (Nelsonville), Nelsonville Video Plus (Nelsonville), United Campus Ministry (Athens); Gallia County — Gallia Academy High School (Gallipolis), Gallia Academy Middle School (Gallipolis) and Once Again Consignment Shop (Gallipolis), Silver Screen VII (Gallipolis); Hocking County — Village Café (Logan), North Fitness Center (Logan); Jackson County — Brodigans Sporting Goods (Wellston), Launch, Inc.

Was it worth our while, in terms of lives lost and money spent/squandered/wasted? Was the War in Vietnam? Is the war now being waged in Afghanistan any different, any more worthy of the cost and our soldier’s blood and lives? What more can one say about wars and warfare, than that they are always ugly and violent — sometimes justifiable, perhaps necessary — but, in the words of General Sherman of Civil War fame, always “Hell.” Then, too — “old men start them, young men fight them.” There is one special instance of one man fighting a war virtually alone, a war which not ev- Jesus had the courage the dreaded In 1961, “leadership,” I the Branch approached my family attenddad and told ed the Southhim I could side Baptist not do it.

The et Zechariah amazes me. Indeed Jesus was couracloser that Sunday got for my turn the more scared I geous in the face of knowing there were those who became. On the Saturday before conspired to kill him, one of which was His disciple, Judas Iscariot. He was courageous despite satanic oppression. He was courageous knowing that He would be physically abused. But, above all, He was courageous knowing that He was going to bear the wrath of God for the sins of Ron Branch. Because of sin, Ron Branch deserved the wrath of God and the punishment of eternal condemnation in hell. But, Jesus planned to bear on the Cross the heat and hurt of God’s wrath for Ron Branch, and, still, Jesus had the courage to enter Jerusalem determined to go all the way to the cross to suffer on Ron Branch’s behalf. Jesus courageously got Ron Branch off the hook that I might have an opportunity to receive God’s free gift of salvation. 1961 was the earliest point in my life that I learned about the courage Jesus had, and, that understanding has deepened over the years with abiding thanksgiving. Multiply it with the sins of the whole world, however, and we all should be inspired by just how much courage Jesus had that Palm Sunday. Jesus was the inspiration for me that Palm Sunday in 1961 despite the bonerattling fear I had. I have found also that the consideration of Jesus’ courage has carried me through other fearsome times as well. The same remembrance should prevail upon us all. Search the Scriptures ‘These were more noble…they searched the scriptures…’ The apostle Paul said of Christ that, “All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:1518) As Christians, we should each strive to allow Christ to have preeminence in our lives, allowing His blood to cleanse us and save us, allowing His word to mold us and guide us, and allowing His love to fill our hearts so that it overflows in speech and deed. By following in His footsteps, as His creation, we are assured that, just as He was raised from the dead and ascended on high to sit with the Father, so we too can know newness of life and have a place with Him in heaven. We should note too the relationship between the preeminence of Christ as the head and the importance of His body: the church. It is a grand calling, to be privileged to be allowed to partake of the body of Christ and thus of the salvation which is found in Christ (cf. Acts 2:47; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17). Our congregation meets upon a hill, and at night the lights from our building shine, reminiscent of what Jesus said once to His followers: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16) Yet the light we want men to see is not a physical light, but the light of Christ shining through us. We aim to do this by following His word, and only His word, as our guide in all things spiritual and material; by living and loving after His example; and by telling others of what God has done for us through Christ. And we want as many people as possible to join with us in doing so. If you are looking for a Christ-led congregation, we invite you to visit with us and worship with us at the Chapel Hill church of Christ, 197 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis. eryone was aware of at the time, but which ended in victory and essentially enabled millions upon millions to later benefit from. Lots of people in this country despise crosses and, if they can manage it, will cause to be removed every cross they can whenever they determine it’s on public land. Their argument centers on the old cliché about the separation of church and state, a line penned by Thomas Jefferson in a letter he once wrote. Personally, I like to see crosses; if nothing else, they assure me there are Christians nearby — and not just beneath those I encounter, as in a cemetery. This brings up another issue, that of where you might locate yourself in relation to the cross of Jesus Christ. Are you willing to place yourself “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” where, on the one hand, you can see his blood and experience his suffering, but where, too, an enemy of Jesus will immediately discern your presence and attack you on account of your obvious faith? Or, would you be more inclined to distance yourself from the Cross of Christ, and let it remain “On a Hill Far Away”? It’s the safer alternative, but not necessarily the right place to be. After all, serving the Lord generally requires us to be in intimate contact with those we minister to, and long distance is anything but intimate or effective. Our Christian lives are not devoid of spiritual warfare, not if we are truly living for Jesus. Accordingly, let us accept that we are indeed soldiers in the Army of God and report for duty, knowing Christ is out in front as our Lord and Leader. We’ve got the easy part: Christ has already fought and won the war; we’re just “mopping up.” To avoid getting discouraged or distracted, keep your eyes upon Jesus; focus on Christ!

For example cannot afford the luxury of sin because it allows Satan to have access to us. When a Christian sins and allows the devil opportunity to produce his death in their life, the way to stop it is to confess the sin, and God who is faithful and just, will forgive us and free us of that sin. This removes Satan and his strongholds. The Apostle Paul put it this way: Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Romans 6:16 (KJV) But thank God that we can yield to Him and His righteous ways leading to righteousness, or leading to the right way of doing things. God’s way of doing things leads us to God’s blessings, and power operating in and through our lives.

The Big Blacks (1-1) quickly fell behind 4-0 after a half-inning of play, but the hosts retaliated by scoring at least two runs in each of their five innings at the plate. PPHS stormed out a 7-4 lead after three frames, then scored the final eight runs of the contest to wrap up the mercy-rule decision. Point Pleasant outhit the Vikings by a sizable 14-9 margin and produced 13 RBIs in the triumph. RHS also committed five of the six errors in the contest. The Big Blacks plated three runs apiece in the first, third and fourth innings and also scored twice in the second before finishing the game with a five-run fifth. Ripley managed four runs on four hits and an error in the opening at bat, allowing the guests to claim their early lead. Evan Potter followed with a three-run homer in the bottom half of the first, allowing PPHS to cut the deficit down to one run after one complete. Alex Somerville singled and stole second with one out in the second, then Tylun Campbell walked. Both runners advanced on a passed ball, then Potter delivered a two-out single that plated both Somerville and Campbell — giving the hosts a permanent lead at 5-4. PPHS added three unearned runs in the third after a pair of singles and errors gave the hosts an 8-4 cushion, but Ripley answered with two runs in the top half of the fourth to close within 8-6. The Vikings were never closer the rest of the way. Potter and Levi Russell led off the bottom of the fourth by reaching on consecutive errors, then Jacob Gardner delivered an RBI double that plated Potter for a 9-6 edge. Gage Buskirk followed with a single that plated both Russell and Gardner, giving the Big Blacks an 11-6 cushion headed into the fifth. Ripley left the bases loaded and went scoreless in its half of the fifth, and PPHS managed to get its first five batters on base before making consecutive outs with a 15-6 advantage. Somerville delivered an RBI single to center, allowing See WIN ‌| 8 Ed Suba Jr. | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT photo The Miami Heat’s LeBron James prepares to slam home a dunk during first-quarter action against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday, March 20, 2013.

Heat overcome Mason Co. lands two on All-State Boys Teams huge deficit, run win streak to 24 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CLEVELAND (AP) — The jilted billionaire owner offered an olive branch. The scoreboard leaked fluid, causing a long delay. The home team, missing its top three scorers, built a mammoth lead over the defending NBA champions. A fan sprinted onto the court, hoping to convince LeBron James to come back home. Just an ordinary night in Cleveland. James made it a memorable one, and kept Miami’s streak alive. Refusing to concede anything, James scored 25 points — 14 in the fourth quarter — and the Heat, trailing by 27 in the third quarter, rallied for a 98-95 win Wednesday night over the Cavaliers to extend their winning streak to 24 games and move within nine of matching the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the longest in NBA history. “This was one of the most bizarre, unique days of my life with everything that happened,” James said. “It also was one of the best comebacks I’ve ever been a part of.” He made it happen. With the Heat trailing by nine points entering the fourth quarter, James made a 3-pointer and layup before draining another long 3 to tie it at 77 with 10:28 left. After his shot dropped through the net, James turned toward the sellout crowd in Quicken Loans Arena and delivered any icy stare to many of the same faces who cheered him during his seven seasons as a member of the Cavaliers. This was his moment, the one he and his teammates would remember. “When he made that one and turned around and looked at the crowd, you knew it was coming,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. James and his teammates have insisted the Lakers’ record, once believed to be untouchable but now within their reach, isn’t a goal. And for more than 30 minutes, they seemed disinterested and were on the verge of losing for the first time since Feb. 1. Miami trailed 67-40 with 7:44 left in the third quarter, and there weren’t many signs that they were going to make it a game. But Shane Battier made three 3-pointers as the Heat closed the third quarter with a 28-10 run and the irrepressible James, who added 12 rebounds and 10 assists in 42 minutes, did the rest in the fourth as the Heat inched closer to history while matching the NBA’s biggest comeback this season. It was the second game in a row where the Heat had to rally. They were down by 17 points — 13 in the fourth quarSee HEAT ‌| 8 CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Mason County earned a pair of honorable mention selections on the Class A All-State boys basketball team.

That’s a lifetime in basketball.” Although the Cavs were missing All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters and Anderson Varejao — their top three scorers — they pushed Miami to the limit. It wasn’t until James, playing his fourth game back in Cleveland since leaving three years ago, made two free throws with 4.7 seconds left that Miami could relax, but just a little. The Cavs had one last chance to tie it, but C.J. Miles was long with a 3-pointer in the final second, letting Miami off the hook and sending the Heat home with a chance to extend their streak to 25 on Friday against Detroit. 14.4 ppg, 7.0 reb, 3.0 steals Zach Chisler, Clay-Battelle, jr., 16.6 ppg Andrew Cosper, St. Marys, sr., 16.3 ppg, 4.8 ast, 2.6 steals Anthony Ghiardi, Trinity, sr., 18.0 ppg, 7 reb Logan Kirby, South Harrison, sr., 14.6 ppg, 11.8 reb, 4.5 blocks David Park, Wheeling Central, jr.

Lately, you have been too focused on your many different responsibilities. Nearly any project can be fun, as long as you keep an open mind and maintain a sense of humor. If you are single, romance builds, which adds to your overall happiness. If you are attached, you will make a point to focus on each other much more. Plan on taking that special, long-desired trip together. LEO can be quite demanding. 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) HHHHH You can’t possibly be more enthusiastic than you already are. Your fiery personality mixes well with the present moment, and your creativity reaches a new level. Your interest in a situation adds an element of curiosity and possibly some mischief. Tonight: Only what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Friends have an unpredictable edge that keeps you alert. You simply don’t know what’s going to happen next. Cheer up an overserious partner who cares a lot about you. You might find that you are at the beginning of a project once again. Tonight: Close to home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Use your excellent skills as a communicator. You will find that an element of surprise runs through your dealings, particularly those with authority figures. You might not want to discuss an issue in the same way with the same person. Tonight: Where the action is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Recognize the importance of indulging a loved one. Your positive attitude, coupled with the fact that it is Friday, helps you create the optimism and cheerful attitude you like to exude and also receive. Choose the right invitation for you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH As you probably already know, there is no other sign like Leo when it comes to living the good life. The Moon in your sign brightens up your Friday and gives you plenty of possible plans to consider. The unexpected lurks, and it promises some wild moments. Tonight: Just let it be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Take your time making decisions right now. There is an element of the unexpected on the loose, so make sure to buckle your seat belt. A partner enjoys surprising you. Even if it doesn’t feel like a surprise, show this person your appreciation with a smile. Tonight: To the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Go where your friends are. You will have a good time, even if you must do some work. You can’t suppress your playful energy, but you can justify it because of the impending weekend. Schedule a late lunch, and factor in a celebration. Tonight: Follow the crowds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to check in with a parent or an older friend before making weekend plans. Catch up on news with this person over munchies. Cut out early in the afternoon if possible. Know that you will be the leader of the gang, no matter where you are. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Distant drumming beckons you, and you will want to follow. Make calls early, clear your desk and head out the door as soon as possible. You are on the path of adventure. Be an explorer, and try out a new, offbeat spot. Confirm meeting times and places. Tonight: Play out a dream. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Listen to your instincts when following through with a partner. An investment might fall in your lap. Know that you don’t need to answer immediately, as you might want to weigh the pros and cons. Bring in an expert if need be. Tonight: Count your change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your unpredictability emerges when dealing with money. You might want to figure out how to stop this pattern. Seek out good advice, even if it means listening to something you might not like to hear. If you really do feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Often when people come toward you, they find you to be rather spontaneous. In fact, they never seem to know what to expect when they are with you. You could be experiencing a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Reach out to a close friend for his or her advice or feedback. Tonight: Where there is music.
