Smalley, 80 50 cents daily FRIDAY, MAY 3, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 72 Gallia man arraigned on drug charges Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County man alleged to have cultivated marijuana at a residence in Cheshire where methamphetamine was also being manufactured last year, was arraigned in the Gallia County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday. Marshall R. Klein, 19, Bidwell, formerly of Cheshire, pleaded not guilty to one count of the cultivation of marijuana, a fifth degree felony, on Tuesday after he was allegedly knowingly cultivating marijuana, a total of 538 grams, at 908 Story’s Run Road on August 15 of last year. Deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office traveled to the residence near the Gallia/Meigs county line at approximately 9 p.m. on August 15, 2012, after receiving an anonymous tip that the residents of 908 Story’s Run Road could be found manufacturing methamphetamine and cultivating marijuana. After arriving at the residence and receiving consent to search by the homeowner, deputies located a total of two “one-pot” acid gas generators, four “onepot” reaction vessels used to manufacture “shake and bake” type methamphetamine, nu- merous precursor ingredients used to manufacture the drug and paraphernalia, as well as 12 marijuana plants that were being cultivated outside the residence. The labs were subsequently neutralized by deputies trained in the neutralization of clandestine meth labs and the marijuana plants were seized. Arrested at the scene in connection with the manufacture of meth were Travis Klein, 24, Lisa J. Klein, 44, and Ashley L. Hamilton, 29, who were all reportedly residents of 908 Story’s Run Road. All three suspects were later indicted with Hamilton and Lisa Klein being charged with the il- legal manufacture of drugs, a first degree felony, and Travis Klein being charged with the illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a second degree felony. A “nolle prosequi” was subsequently filed in March by the prosecution in the case against Lisa Klein, as well as in Travis Klein’s case in April indicating the prosecution’s unwillingness to pursue these matters any further. In Hamilton’s case, following a motion to continue filed by the defense, the plea agreement deadline this case has been rescheduled for May 17, with a jury trial continued to June 17. Marshall Klein, who was indicted on the charge of marijuana cultivation in October, was arrested on Monday, and, following his arraignment on Tuesday, was released on an own recognizance bond. A negotiated plea agreement may be filed in this case by July 19. A jury trial has been scheduled for August 20 in the common pleas courtroom. According to the police report filed in this case, the other individuals present at the residence on August 15 last year indicated that the marijuana cultivation was being committed by Marshall Klein.

MIDDLEPORT — One person has been arrested following a two month investigation into the possible manufacture of methamphetamine. Richard A. Hill Jr., 42, of Middleport was arrested on Wednesday evening about two hours after a search warrant was executed at his residence on North Second Avenue. Hill was not at the residence when Middleport Police Officers executed the search warrant. During the search officers found all of the precursors to manufacture methamphetamine, including pseudoephedrine and other chemicals, paraphernalia associated with methamphetamine manufacturing. Also found at the residence were heroin, prescription pills, marijuana, and other drug paraphernalia. Hill was located two hours after the search and was arrested following a short foot pursuit. Hill is housed in the Middleport Jail and charged with illegal manufacturing of methamphetamine and illegal assembly or possession of chemicals used to manufacture drugs. Further charges are pending according to Middleport Police Chief Bruce Swift. Sgt. Frank Stewart of the Middleport Police Department served at the lead investigator on the case. The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office and the Middleport Fire Department assisted on the scene Wednesday evening as the Middleport Police Department meth cleanup techs neutralized the lab.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Attorney General’s Office today rejected the petition for the proposed “Amendment to Return Prayer to Our Public Schools” because the petitions contained technical flaws which prevented the submission from being approved. On April 22nd, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office received a written petition from a group called Coalition to Return Prayer to Our Public Schools seeking to amend the Ohio Constitution by adding “The Amendment to Return Prayer to Our Public Schools.” The submission was rejected for two reasons: 1) the individual part-petitions signed by various individuals do not contain the language of the proposed constitutional amendment and its summary, and 2) the individual part-petitions do not contain the signature of a circulator, signed under penalty of election falsification attesting to witnessing the number of individuals the circulator saw sign the part-petitions. Petition signatures were not reviewed because of the petition deficiencies requiring the Attorney General to reject the submission. Initiative petitions are many times rejected for technical reasons related to the petitions or summary language. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office sends petitioners a letter outlining how they can correct deficiencies and be compliant with Ohio law. In order for a constitutional amendment to proceed, an initial petition containing summary language of the amendment and 1,000 signatures from Ohio registered voters must be submitted to the Ohio Attorney General. Once the summary language and initial signatures are certified, the Ohio Ballot Board would determine if the amendment contains a single issue or multiple issues. The petitioners must then collect signatures for each issue from registered voters in each of 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, equal to 5 percent of the total vote cast in the county for the office of president at the last presidential election. Total signatures collected statewide must also equal 10 percent of the total vote cast for the office of president at the last presidential election. Senator speaks out against anti-worker legislation COLUMBUS — State Senator Lou Gentile (DSteubenville) on Thursday voiced his strong opposition to anti-worker legisla- tion that two Republican Representatives have introduced in the Ohio General Assembly. “I am opposed to the anti-worker legislation that has been introduced in the Ohio House,” stated Gentile. “This is a direct attack on workers and their families in the state of Ohio.” Representatives Ron Maag (R- Lebanon) and Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson) have introduced companion bills that aim to strip fair share payments to unions for representation and other benefits. Under current law workers have the right to turn down union membership but are required to make fair-share payments for representation that is provided by the union. “This legislation would result in lower wages, diminished benefits and unsafe working conditions for all workers,” said Senator Gentile. “The Ohio Legislature should be focused on ways to improve our economy not weaken it.” In addition to the two socalled “Right to Work” bills that have been introduced, a resolution has also been put forward that would take the measure to the ballot to allow voters to decide. In 2011 voters overwhelmingly rejected SB 5, a bill that would have eliminated collective bargaining for Public Employees. “We have already had this debate in the state of Ohio and the voters delivered a clear message that they support the rights of workers to bargain for fair wages, good benefits and safe working conditions,” WE NOW OFFER INTEREST FREE EASY FINANCING* The Best Zero Turn Mower Built in the USA!

Patrol focusing on motorcycle safety Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS — May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and the Ohio State Highway Patrol would like to remind motorists that there will be an increase in motorcycles on the roadways with the warmer weather and to remind motorcyclists to ride endorsed, trained and sober. From 2010-2012, motorcycle-involved crashes resulted in 509 fatalities and more than 11,480 injuries in the state of Ohio. In 2012 alone there were 165 motorcycle-related fatalities. Of the 165 fatalities, the motorcyclist was at fault 71 percent of the time. Taking a training class and riding with proper endorsements as a motorcycle rider can help protect yourself and others from injury or even death. Out of the 8,571 citations the Patrol handed out to motorcyclists in 20102012, 20 percent were for operating a motorcycle without a proper license or endorsement. As a rider, simple things like ensuring you have a valid motorcycle endorsement, receiving quality mo- torcycle training and wearing proper safety equipment can be key elements in staying safe. For more information visit http://www.motorcycle.ohio.gov/. Riding sober is also very important. From 2010 – 2012, 50 percent of the fatal motorcycle crashes involved an impaired motorcyclist. Of course, motorcycle safety is not solely the responsibility of motorcyclists. Motor vehicle drivers share in this important effort by being aware of motorcyclists. There are some important steps to become more aware of motorcyclists: • A motorcycle is a motor vehicle with all of the privileges of any vehicle on the roadway. • Give motorcyclists a full lane of travel. • Look for motorcyclists on the highway, at intersections, and any time you are changing lanes. • Allow plenty of space in front of the vehicle you are driving and do not follow a motorcycle too closely. A statistical map detailing citations and other motorcycle related information can be found at http://statepatrol.ohio.gov/ doc/Motorcycle_Bulletin_2013.pdf Warrants executed in schools probe COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities looking into alleged fraud swept across the Columbus City School District on Thursday seizing records from several high schools, perplexing district officials who said they have been cooperating with the state auditor’s investigation. State and federal authorities are investigating Ohio’s largest school district over allegations employees improperly altered the grades or attendance records of struggling students to improve performance ratings in a process called “scrubbing.” Ohio Auditor Dave Yost’s office issued the warrants and the district confirmed the searches. At midday, investigators had executed search warrants at Marion-Franklin, Whetstone, Mifflin, Independence, Linden-McKinley and Northland high schools. District spokesman Jeff Warner said the district was surprised by the searches. “The district and our schools are fully cooperating with authorities seeking these records,” he said. Superintendent Gene Harris first sought a special state audit in 2011, but Yost initially declined her request. After intense public scrutiny and a renewed request by Harris, Yost launched the investigation in June. Warner said the district has provided “hundreds, if not thousands” of student records of the same type sought by the search warrants during the ensuing 10 months. Opening school where phonics will be taught, she said the emphasis is on getting four and five year olds ready for kindergarten. “The program will be driven by phonics and numbers, and will also have a focus on manners and other social skills,” she said. She also noted that there will be chapel service for the children who will attend school for 40 weeks observing holidays, the same as regular school programs. Barnhart taught kindergarten at the Mid-Valley Christian School for 20 years during which time she also served as the school administrator. Sixteen years ago she and her husband established WJOS and for the past several years have both been in the ministry. They started the Restoration Fellowship work three years ago in a building located on Mulberry Heights which had previously been the Sev- enth Day Adventist Church. “I love working with little children,” said Barnhart. in talking about getting back into the business of educa- L tion where she has the opportunity to teach phonics which will be the emphasis in the Little Lamb Phonetic Pre-School. Ohioans dispose of nearly 16 tons of unwanted pills COLUMBUS — Attorney General Mike DeWine and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) today thanked Ohio residents for properly disposing of more than 16 tons (32,369 pounds) of unwanted prescription medications during last Saturday’s drug take-back day. The DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Initiative provides a safe, convenient, and responsible means of prescription drug disposal. “Improper use of prescription medications can be deadly, and it’s clear that Ohioans want to do everything they can to prevent abuse,” said Attorney General DeWine. “We thank the DEA for the excellent work they do in orchestrating this event.” “The National Take Back Initiative is truly a cooperative effort between the public and law enforcement,” said DEA Columbus Group Supervisor Mark McHugh. “We thank everyone who participated in this program, and, as a result, made our communities safer.” During last April’s event, Ohioans disposed of approximately 13 tons (26,207 pounds) of prescription medications. Five previous DEA Take-Back events resulted in more than 2 million pounds of prescription medications removed from circulation. Those who are still in possession of unneeded prescription drugs can drop them off at one of several prescription drug drop box locations across the state. A list of prescription drug drop box locations is available on the Ohio Attorney General’s website. Upon taking office in 2011, Attorney General DeWine made the fight against prescription drug abuse a priority. In that time, those with the Attorney General’s Office have been involved in the permanent license revocation of more than two dozen doctors and pharmacists who improperly prescribed prescription medication, the conviction of 13 doctors, pharmacists, traffickers and associates, and the seizure of more than $1.67 million worth of prescription pills. USDA Rural Development funds for home repair MARIETTA — With spring here, now is a good time for homeowners to evaluate the need for necessary repairs or replacement to exterior components of their homes such as roof, siding, and windows. USDA Rural Devlopment can help, according to Acting Marietta Area Director John Miller noting that eligible homeowners can obtain home repair loans up to $20,000. Miller said current loan terms are at one percent interest for up to 20 years. Applicants must have an aceptable credit history and be unable to afford a conventional loan, he noted. “The loans are intended to help those who lack the personal resources to make the repairs or modifications themselves and cannot find assistance from other sources,” explained Miller. He explained that grants up to $7,500 may also be available to eligible households. In order to receive a grant, Rural Development must determine that the household is unable to repay a loan, the applicants must be over the age of 62, and repairs must be to correct health or safety hazards such as electrical, plumbing, roof, subflooring, furnaces, and handicap accessibility. To be eligible for the home repair program, applicants must own and occupy their home. Applicants must be verylow income homeowners. There are also limits on the amount of household assets one can own. Homes must be located in eligible rural areas. “Rural Development expects to receive its third and fourth quarter funding soon,” said Miller. “Now is the time for homeowners to apply so they can have repairs completed before fall gets here and the cold winter weather approaches.” Applicants can apply at any time, but Miller noted funding may become limited as the fiscal year progresses. USDA Rural Development’s mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life in Rural America. For more information on the program or an application, contact the Marietta Area Office at (740) 373-7113, Ext 200, visit the USDA Area Office or view our website at http://www.rurdev.usda. gov/OHHome.html. According to a release submitted by the Marietta office, President Obama’s plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President’s leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America’s economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA’s investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities. It further states that the USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $700 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible, the release concludes..

Indeed, he did not. However, let no one presume to say the absence of any condemnation of homosexual behavior on the part of Jesus is tantamount to his tacit approval! No; don’t go there. Even as more people are “coming out” and declaring themselves to be gay, with the obvious encouragement and endorsement of others, make no mistake: there is no place anywhere in the whole of God’s Word that this behavior is condoned or sanctioned. None. Consistently, throughout the Old and the New Testaments, this behavior is condemned. So, while the world may approve, or at least be more accepting and tolerant of homosexuality, not to mention gay marriage, God hasn’t authorized any human(s) to revise or re-write The Bible to reflect His current position on this particular subject. “It is what it is”— and always has been! God has NOT changed His mind about right and wrong. What offended Him in the time of Abraham and Lot (think: Sodom and Gomorrah) still offended when Paul wrote his Epistles. God knows what is best for us. Whatever He would have us avoid or refrain from doing, is for our own good. Who else but the Devil, liar that he is, would say otherwise? Consider this: “with booze you lose, and with dope there’s no hope.” Yet meth labs are proliferating, never mind the danger involved—proof of the Devil’s influence.

She has the illustration, it rather characterizes written, “Hey, my Beloved….” Search the Scriptures ‘These were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…’ In our previous article, we began an examination of the Beatitudes, as given in Matthew 5:3-10. In the Beatitudes, Jesus lists a set of character traits and then pairs each trait with a specific blessing. We observed that while the traits were different, the blessings themselves were all aspects of a singular thing: salvation. To miss out on any of the blessings was to miss out on all of them and thus the salvation of the soul. The Beatitudes, rather than being a set of characteristics which might or might not be possessed individually by his followers, are a list of those characteristics which must collectively be possessed by those wishing to be God’s children, be led and fed by God, and have a home in God’s Kingdom. As this was the intent of Jesus, we should each seek to understand the characteristics Jesus listed so that we might seek to possess them within ourselves. In this article, we will examine the first four of the characteristics given in the beatitudes, and our next article will conclude with the final four. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) Jesus first commends to us the attitude of being poor in spirit. To be poor in spirit is to be humble. It is not surprising that Jesus would begin with the need for humility. Pride is one of the chief downfalls of humanity and humility is stressed, time and again in the scriptures as a prerequisite for salvation. “God resists the proud but He gives grace to the humble.” (cf. Proverbs 3:34; James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5) The proud heart turns away from God. The humble heart turns to Him. The proud heart resists the word of God. The humble heart hears God and obeys. The proud heart says, “I am supreme!” The humble heart sincerely prays, “not my will, but Thine be done.” If we will not be humble, we have no part in the Kingdom of heaven. Humility is an attitude upon which all other desirable traits can be built “Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” While it is tempting for some to think that Jesus was promising universal comfort upon all who sorrow for any reason, such is not the case. There are those who sorrow without hope and who shall never find comfort. (cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:13) The better understanding is that Jesus has a specific group of mourners in mind: those who sorrow over sin. Those who have no problem with sin will not seek either forgiveness nor change. It is sorrow over their sins which leads men to repentance. It is sorrow over the sin around them that compels men to preach the word of God. We cannot be saved while we glory in sin, but must recognize it for the evil that it is and turn from it. As Jesus warned, “unless you repent, you shall all likewise surely perish.” (Luke 13:3) But the soul who has sorrow over the sin in their lives is able to find comfort and salvation in Christ. And once so comforted, they can comfort others with the same promises and hope (cf. 2 Corinthians 1:4) “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Of all the beatitudes, Jesus exaltation of meekness is most derided by sinful men who want no part of it. Many confuse meekness with both passivity and weakness, but this misunderstands what meekness means. Meekness has been defined as strength under control. Jesus was both gentle and meek, but He was never weak. Rather the man who could calm the power of a storm, accepted the nails of the cross without retaliation. He could have struck His enemies dead, but He instead forgave them, and in so doing worked powerfully to change the fate of those that would follow Him. Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:5 echo those of Psalm 37:11, which teaches that God will bring the wicked to account but reward those who trust in Him implicitly. The Bible teaches that we should never seek vengeance for ourselves, but should place such matters into the hands of God and the authorities He has ordained (cf. Romans 12:19). Thus Jesus would shortly after the Beatitudes teach His apostles to “turn the other cheek,” and “bless those that spitefully use you.” (Matthew 5:38-48) This is indeed a heard lesson for many, but those unable to accept such a doctrine will have no inheritance in the new heavens and earth to come. “Blessed are those that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.” More than just sorrow over sin, a follower of Christ must possess a genuine desire to see what is right done, in their lives and the lives of others. Such a desire has to be a powerful thing, a genuine longing or hunger. Without such a zeal for righteousness, men won’t seek what God offers them in His word, which instructs us in such matters (cf. 2 Timothy 3:16). Without such a desire, men will not actively try to teach others the word of God so that they too can incorporate it into their lives. However, for those who truly desire to be right in the sight of God, Jesus offers forgiveness, salvation, and instruction so that men might always do as they ought. We should take each of the above teachings to heart, so that we might receive those blessings Christ offers.

Southern clinches its share of the TVC Hocking title Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com STEWART, Ohio — Keeping a good thing going. The Southern baseball team won its 33rd consecutive league game and also clinched a share of its second straight Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division championship Wednesday night following 6-0 victory over host Federal Hocking in Athens County. The visiting Tornadoes (17-3, 13-0) received a pitching gem from starter Danny Ramthun, who allowed just one hit and two walks over seven innings of work while fanning 13 in the complete-game victory. SHS also pounded out a dozen hits while claiming a season sweep of the Lancers (10-13, 6-6), who suffered an 11-0 setback at Star Mill Park back on April 10. Southern struck first blood in the top of the first after Trenton Deem singled and later scored on a double by Ramthun, making it a 1-0 contest. SHS followed with four runs in the top of the third to extend their lead to 5-0 through three complete, then added another run in the fourth to wrap up the six-run outcome. The Tornadoes committed two of the three errors in the contest and allowed only three baserunners to get to second base or further in the triumph — with two of those coming on errors. Deem led SHS with three hits, followed by Hunter Johnson and Adam Pape with two safeties apiece.
