While the general consensus of Council members seemed to be that if it is beneficial to Middleport and not harmful in any way, then, as put by Councilman Emerson Heighton, it may be “a win-win situation” for both Council and the Commissioners which recently took over the faltering operation. The end result of the meeting of village officials with the Commissioners Tim Ihle and Mike Bartrum, village solicitor, Michael Barr, Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams and the assistant prosecutor, Amanda Bizub-Franzmann, and two EPA waste-water representatives, was the scheduling of a meeting for further discussion at 11 a.m. Thursday morning in the Commissioners office. At that time Middleport Mayor Mike Gerlach, Financial Officer Susan Baker, and Village Administrator Faymon Roberts, will present a proposal on projected costs for repair and operational work along with administrative requirements and other related costs of operating the water-sewer system for review by everyone as a first step toward coming to some sort of an agreement on whether or not to proceed. Mayor Gerlach stressed at the meeting that nothing can be done without approval of the full Council, that no agreement will be signed without adequate protection for Middleport village and its residents, that there is assurance of timely payment for service from the Commissioners, and that there is room for change or an “out” should the village find it isn’t working. Baker stressed the need to “weigh everything, determine the cost to us, and be assured of a quick turn-around on the money.” As pointed out by Councilman Craig Wehrung “we have to move cautiously once we learn more about it.” Council was in accord that “no vote be taken, and no contract be signed” until all the facts and figures are availSee NEGOTIATIONS ‌| 5 Cross Chx, Holzer making mark on medical registration Staff Report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Dan Short, OVP manager in the Pomeroy bank, presents a check for $50 to Wilma Hellwig of Reedsville, the first place winner in the cookie contest. Champion cookie baker selected … and now on to creative crafts Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — The second of three Christmas contests, one where cookies were judged and winners selected, was held Saturday at the Ohio Valley Bank with Wilma Helwig of Reedsville claiming the $50 first prize for her Vanilla Chip Maple Cookies. The last of the contests sponsored annually by the Pomeroy Merchants Association and hosted by the three Pomeroy Banks is being held this week. It is for creative crafts of any kind and is being held at Farmers Bank. Entries can be brought into the bank anytime this week for display in the lobby. The judg- ing will take place on Saturday at noon and the first place winner will receive a prize of $50 from the bank. A prize will also go to the second place winner in the contest. Winners will be notified by phone. At Saturday’s cookie contest Charlotte Smith of Pomeroy took second place for her Chocolate Turtle Cookies and was presented a coin set by the bank. OVP bank employees judged the entries. The recipe for the winning cookies is as follows: Vanilla Chip Maple Cookies 1 cup shortening 1/2 cup of butter, softened 2 cups of packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp maple flavoring 3 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp. baking soda 2 cups vanilla or white chips 1/2 cup chopped pecans In mixing bowl cream the shortening, butter and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat in vanilla and maple flavoring, combine the flour and baking soda, gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in vanilla chips and pecans. Drop by rounded tablespoons two inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 3580 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Frosting: 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened; 4 cups confectioners sugar, 1 tsp. maple flavoring, 4 to 6 tablespoons of milk 3 -1.2 cups of pecan halves. In mixing bowl, cream butter and confectioners sugar. Beat in maple flavoring and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies and top each one with a pecan half. Yields seven dozen. GALLIPOLIS — If you have visited one of Holzer Health System’s locations recently, you may have been asked to add your fingerprint to your medical record upon registering for services. This technology has been made possible through an innovative partnership with Holzer Health System and CrossChx, a branch of Omni Science Technology Partners, located in Gallipolis. The new Biometric Enrollment and Verification Prescription System project utilizes cutting edge technologies to track health information and is focused on the goal of patient safety and prevention of narcotic painkiller abuse and diversion. “The patients served by Holzer Health System deserve the best we can offer in safety measures,” said Holzer Board Chairman Brent Saunders. “We believe this service adds a level of security vital to combating addiction and overdose.” The project has developed a system to allow providers to use biometric authentication to compare health records from multiple sources to confirm eligibility of a patient to receive a prescription for medication. With fingerprint and photo identification, real-time patient information is able to be obtained. Cross Chx was first introduced to Holzer’s registration system in late July 2012 at the Urgent Care located in Gallipolis, Ohio. Since then, the software has been deployed in more than 100 registration locations throughout Holzer Health System. In a very short amount of time, over 20,000 patients have enrolled in Cross Chx throughout Holzer. In addition, over 7,000 patients have had their identity positively verified using Cross Chx, with an accuracy rate of 99.99 percent. As Holzer’s patient participation level increases, Cross Chx will be able to provide additional benefits. The system is not mandatory for patients; however, according to Holzer, the advantages to participating are worth investing the short time needed during the registration process to add a fingerprint identity to your record. Advantages include medical identity security, easy and efficient registration and nationwide access to medical records. The program continues to receive significant support from Ohio Gov. John Kasich and the Ohio General Assembly. It is anticipated that with the support of Ohio government, the program will be rolled out regionally, and potentially statewide and nationwide, over time.

MASON COUNTY — A son has pleaded guilty to a second degree murder charge in the shooting death of his father. Thomas M. Jarrell, 18, Point Pleasant, was 17 when he was accused of killing his father, Ron Jarrell, 45, at his Ripley Rd. home back in April. On Nov. 9, Thomas had his status moved from juvenile to adult with his case now falling under the jurisdiction of the criminal court, according to records filed in Mason County Circuit Court. The West Virginia Code, section 495-10, allows for this transfer of a juvenile proceeding to criminal jurisdiction if there is probable cause to believe the juvenile was at least 14 years old when committing specific crimes, including murder.

That was the theme of the Southern Elementary Fall Carnival. The Southern Elementary PTO reported that its annual Fall Carnival held recently was a huge success. A packed house consisting of students, parents, and community members turned out for an evening of fun for all ages. Once again, the Southern PTO reinforced the tradition of small town America and the fact that schools indeed are the heart of the community. With a focus on the kids, Southern’s main event was again a huge hit. The evening was full of many activities including Inflatable’s Kid’s Games, games, face painting, a dance for grades 5-8, cake walks, concessions, and prize drawings. Thanks to some wonderful sponsors, kids’ door prizes were also awarded at the end of the evening. Kelley and Tammy Grueser donated a bicycle, iPod speakers, and headphones. Forest Run Ready Mix donated a bicycle and iTunes cards. Cummins’ Lawn Service donated digital cameras. Phil and Mary Bradbury, Bob and Donna Byer, Mary Byer-Hill, and Scott Hill together purchased 2 Kindle E-readers, which were also given away. The Kindle E-reader — America’s number one educational device — was the grand prize, with the two big prizes presented to Ava Roush and Trey McNickle. The PTO would like to acknowledge and thank all the teachers for their hard work in helping make the carnival and the auction such a success. Teachers in each classroom came up with unique themes for the auction, and then organized baskets which also were sold at the auction. Likewise, teaching staff at Southern expressed its gratitude to the PTO. Each year the group provides funds to send Southern students on incentive trips and valuable field experiences for those doing well on state testing. Lastly, the PTO would like to thank all the sponsors, parents, grandparents, and students who volunteered their time or money to come out to support the carnival. All proceeds from the carnival go towards student incentives and field trips for grades K-8. Without everyone helping, these great incentives and trips would not be possible. W.Va. gas line explodes, burns homes and roads SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (AP) — At least five homes went up in flames Tuesday afternoon and a badly burned section of Interstate 77 in West Virginia was closed after a natural gas line exploded in an hour-long inferno. No injuries were immediately reported, but firefighters had just begun to reach damaged structures late in the afternoon after the intense flames kept them at bay for several hours. Several people were treated for smoke inhalation, and a shelter was set up at Sissonville High School, where Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin planned a late-afternoon press conference State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous said a slight risk of a secondary explosion remained, but people were told to stay inside their homes rather than evacuate. The explosion occurred near Sissonville just before 1 p.m. in a 20-inch transmission line owned by NiSource Inc., parent of Columbia Gas. The gas flow was shut off, but 1st Sgt. James Lee said there was still pressure on the transmission line. “The gas company is doing a check on it now,” he said. Kent Carper, president of the Kanawha County Commission, said flames had been shooting 50 to 75 feet into the air before the fire was extinguished. “It sounded like a Boeing 757. Just a roar,” he said. “It was huge. You just couldn’t hear anything. It was like a space flight.” Trevor Goins lives about a half-mile from the explosion and was watching television in his apartment when he saw a ripple in his coffee cup and the floor shook. “I thought possibly (it was) a plane crash,” said Goins, who immediately went outside with several neighbors. “It was so loud it sounded like a turbine engine. You almost had to put your hands over your ears.” He got in his car and drove closer, seeing fire that stretched as high as the hilltops.

Since an unwritten code that makes you have no control over the dog or the freewheeling lifestyle down the street, why not encourage your kids to invite their friends to your home until you can get to know the parents and find out just what level of trust they deserve?

I’m sure you have talked to your son’s surgeon about this, and if not, make a point of doing so. There may be established procedures for introducing children to the hospital environment, and visiting the nurses may be part of the program. You will need to get your own anxiety under control before you step foot in the hospital, though, or even begin to talk to your son about his surgery. He will take his cue from how you handle your fears, so make it your goal to not have your attitude upset him. At his age, there’s no point in focusing on the fine points of the surgery. Instead, you might take heart from the simple distraction methods that a recent study found successful with young kids facing surgery. Although it was conducted in South Korea, you can be sure that children all over the world are much the same. The study found that cartoons in the operating room were a good way to distract the young patients. Bringing a favorite toy to the hospital also relieved anxiety. The simple act of being there and staying supportive will help the most. Use your creativity and the resources of your medical provider, and you will find that there is less time for freaking out and more time available for calm reassurance. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate New tests could hamper food outbreak detection WASHINGTON (AP) — New tests that promise to speed up diagnosis of food poisoning pose an unexpected problem: They could make it more difficult to identify dangerous outbreaks like the one that sickened people who ate a variety of Trader Joe’s peanut butter this fall. The new tests could reach medical laboratories as early as next year, an exciting development for patients. They could shave a few days off the time needed to tell whether E. coli, salmonella or other foodborne bacteria caused a patient’s illness, allowing faster treatment of sometimes deadly diseases. The problem: These new tests can’t detect crucial differences between different subtypes of bacteria, as today’s tests can. And that fingerprint is what states and the federal government use to match sick people to a contaminated food. “It’s like a forensics lab. If somebody says a shot was fired, without the bullet you don’t know where it came from,” explained E. coli expert Dr. Phillip Tarr of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Pre- vention expects private labs to rapidly adopt these next-generation tests — and warns that what is progress for individual patients could hamper the nation’s efforts to keep food safe. Already, 1 in 6 Americans gets sick from foodborne illness each year, and 3,000 die. So even before these tests hit the market, the agency is searching for solutions. Unless one is found, the CDC’s Dr. John Besser said the tests’ unintended consequence could be that ultimately, more people become sick. “In the past 20 years, there’s been a fantastic ability to fingerprint bugs: Is this an organism that’s causing multiple infections and we can interdict it? Or is this a once-only event?” added Tarr, the E. coli specialist. “Without that organism in hand, the state can’t do it. The government can’t do it. You lose the ability to get the evidence.” It all comes down to what’s called a bacterial culture — whether labs grow a sample of a patient’s bacteria in an oldfashioned petri dish, or skip that step because the new tests don’t require it. Here’s the way it works now: Someone with seri- ous diarrhea visits the doctor, who gets a stool sample and sends it to a private testing laboratory. The lab cultures the sample, growing larger batches of any lurking bacteria to identify what’s there. If disease-causing germs such as E. coli O157 or salmonella are found, they may be sent on to a public health laboratory for more sophisticated analysis to uncover their unique DNA patterns — their fingerprints. Those fingerprints are posted to a national database, called PulseNet, that the CDC and state health officials use to look for food poisoning trends. There are lots of gardenvariety cases of salmonella every year, from runny eggs to a picnic lunch that sat out too long. But if a few people in, say, Baltimore have salmonella with the same molecular signature as some sick people in Cleveland, it’s time to investigate, because scientists might be able narrow the outbreak to a particular food or company. But culture-based testing takes time — as long as two to four days after the sample reaches the lab, which makes for a long wait if you’re a sick patient. What’s in the pipeline? Tests that could detect many kinds of germs simultaneously instead of hunting one at a time — and within hours of reaching the lab. Those tests essentially work by searching for an identifying piece of a germ’s DNA without first having to grow a culture. This isn’t just a science debate, said Shari Shea, food safety director at the Association of Public Health Laboratories. If you were the patient, “you’d want to know how you got sick,” she said. PulseNet has greatly improved the ability of regulators and the food industry to solve those mysteries since it was launched in the mid-1990s, helping to spot major outbreaks in ground beef, spinach, eggs and cantaloupe in recent years. Just this fall, PulseNet matched 42 different salmonella illnesses in 20 different states that were eventually traced to a variety of Trader Joe’s peanut butter. Food and Drug Administration officials who visited the plant where the peanut butter was made found salmonella contamination all over the facility, with several of the plant samples matching the fingerprint of the salmonella that made people sick. A New Mexico-based company, Sunland Inc., recalled hundreds of products that were shipped to large retailers all over the country, including Target, Safeway and other large grocery chains. The source of those illnesses probably would have remained a mystery without the national database, since there weren’t very many illnesses in any individual state. To ensure that kind of crucial detective work isn’t lost, the CDC is asking the medical community to send samples to labs to be cultured even when they perform a new, non-culture test. But it’s not clear who would pay for that extra step. Private labs only can perform the tests that a doctor orders, noted Dr. Jay M. Lieberman of Quest Diagnostics, one of the country’s largest testing labs. A few first-generation non-culture tests are already available. When private labs in Wisconsin use them, they frequently ship leftover samples to the state lab, which grows the bacteria itself. But as more private labs switch over after the next-generation rapid tests arrive, the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene will be hardpressed to keep up with that extra work before it can do its main job — fingerprinting the bugs, said deputy director Dr. Dave Warshauer. Stay tuned: Research is beginning to look for solutions that one day might allow rapid and in-depth looks at food poisoning causes in the same test. “As molecular techniques evolve, you may be able to get the information you want from non-culture techniques,” Lieberman said. Michigan Legislature sends governor right-to-work LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Legislature gave final approval Tuesday to a bitterly contested right-to-work plan limiting the power of unions, a devastating and once unthinkable defeat for organized labor in a state considered a cradle of the movement. Unswayed by Democrats’ pleas and thousands of protesters inside and outside the state Capitol, the House approved two final bills, sending them on to Republican Gov. Rick Snyder. One dealt with private sector workers, the other with government employees. Both measures cleared the Senate last week. Snyder is expected to sign the measures into law as early as Wednesday that would make Michigan the 24th state with right-to-work laws, which ban requirements that nonunion employees pay unions for negotiating contracts and other services. Supporters say they give workers more choice and boost economic growth, but critics say the real intent is to weaken organized labor by bleeding unions of money needed to bargain effectively with management. “This is about freedom, fairness and equality,” House Speaker Jase Bolger said. “These are basic American rights — rights that should unite us.” Democrats offered a series of amendments, one of which would have allowed a statewide referendum. All were swiftly rejected. “This is the nuclear option,” Rep. Doug Geiss, a Democrat from Taylor. “This is the most divisive issue that we have had to deal with. And this will have repercussions. And it will have personal hard feelings after this is all said and done.” Protesters in the gallery chanted “Shame on you!” as the measures were approved. Union backers clogged the hallways and grounds shouting, “No justice, no peace.” Sen. John Proos, a Republican from St. Joseph who voted for the right-towork bills last week, said opponents had a right to voice their anger but predicted it would fade as the shift in policy brings more jobs to Michigan. “As they say in sports, the atmosphere in the locker room gets a lot better when the team’s winning,” he said. In other states such as Wisconsin and Indiana, similar battles were drawn-out affairs lasting weeks or months. Wisconsin went a step further than Michigan, enacting legislation that stripped most public-sector workers of their right to collective bargaining. Snyder, a business executive-turnedgovernor, and the Legislature’s GOP majority used their political muscle to rapidly introduce and ramrod legislation through the Michigan House and Senate in a single day last week. Snyder insisted the matter wasn’t handled with undue haste and that right-towork state was a long-discussed issue in Michigan. “There has been lots of time for citizens to contact legislators and share their feelings,” he said in an interview with WWJ-AM. In Michigan, the right-to-work movement gains its strongest foothold yet in the Rust Belt, where the 2010 election and tea party movement produced assertive Republican majorities that have dealt unions repeated setbacks. Opponents said they would press Snyder to use his line-item veto authority and remove a $1 million appropriation from the bills, making them eligible for a statewide referendum. Lawmakers who backed the bills “will be held accountable at the ballot box in 2014,” said Rep.

Irving Picard, the trustee appointed to recover funds for Madoff victims, and a battalion of lawyers headed by Sheehan have spent long days untangling Madoff’s fraud. On the fourth anniversary of Madoff’s Dec. 11, 2008, arrest, it’s an international effort that shows no signs of slowing. So far, they have secured nearly $9.3 billion of the estimated $17.5 billion that thousands of investors put into Madoff’s sham investment business. In a recent interview, Sheehan said his team at the Manhattan law firm of BakerHostetler is hopeful it can recover $3 billion more over the next 18 months, cutting investors’ losses to around $5 billion. Of the money collected so far, about $3 billion has been approved for redistribution to victims through an ongoing claims process. It’s an outcome that neither Sheehan nor Picard thought possible at the outset. “I don’t think either of us thought we could achieve these results,” Sheehan said. “There’s never been any case like this.” Sheehan described the task first faced four years ago as daunting: It required cracking the code on a secret Ponzi scheme that spanned decades and victimized thousands of customers on a scale never seen before. Madoff, 74, pleaded guilty and is serving a 150-year sentence. “We had to reconstruct this from ground zero and put it back together again,” Sheehan said. After examining the books at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, lawyers quickly realized that statements showing investors held more than $60 billion in securities were fiction. Madoff made no investments. Instead, principal was simply being paid out bit by bit to other investors. Having to hammer home that reality — over and over — to disbelieving investors was one of the first major hurdles, Sheehan said. Win or lose, Madoff clients were entitled only to what they put in. Investors who had reaped fake profits had to accept they had “someone else’s money,” Sheehan said. “We had no choice but to get it back.” Last year, an appeals court concluded that the trustee’s calculation was “legally sound” and that a bankruptcy court was correct when it rejected arguments from lawyers for investors who said their clients should receive more than what they initially gave to Madoff. Picard couldn’t be expected “to step into the shoes of the defrauder or treat the customer statements as reflections of reality,” the court said. Most of the conflicts over what’s owed to the burned clients have been resolved without a serious fight. But in scores of other cases, the trustee has sued wealthy individuals and institutions, claiming the defendants knew or should have known their returns were fraudulent and asking a judge or bankruptcy judge to force them to return them. The litigation has resulted in a series of settlements, including a historic $7.2 billion deal with the estate of Jeffry Picower, a close Madoff associate who drowned in 2009 after suffering a heart attack in the swimming pool of his Palm Beach, Fla., mansion.

The deal was structured so that the owners will likely pay much less than the maximum depending on what happens to their own claims against Madoff’s estate. Picard is “a very aggressive advocate of the people who were scammed,” said Richard Roth, a Manhattan securities lawyer. “While his aggressiveness has been a topic of controversy, as several institutions object to it, in light of the extent of the fraud, he has been a strong, positive advocate for those individuals whose money was stolen by Madoff,” Roth added. Still, Picard has had to fend off accusations that he’s dragging out the process because it’s a windfall for his firm. He’s so far sought more than $600 million in fees for work done between Sept. 15, 2008, and Sept. 30 of this year — money that comes from a federally-authorized nonprofit, not from Madoff victims. Sheehan said the critics are ignoring the true magnitude of the fraud and the work still needed to get what’s recoverable, some of it overseas. The trustee is involved in Madoff-related “litigations, investigations and proceedings” in Great Britain, Spain and Israel and is chasing customer money throughout the Caribbean, Sheehan wrote recently on a Madoff victiminformation website. On balance, Picard “is doing a good job” with a recovery process that usually fails to satisfy fraud victims, said Jeffrey Klink, a former federal prosecutor who runs his own private investigative firm that researches the safety of potential investments and performs fraud probes. With most investment swindles, once “the money is gone, the odds of getting most of it back are almost zero,” Klink said. “The investors end up holding the bag.” NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s comments about 47 percent of the population dependent on the government and “binders full of women” topped this year’s best quotes, according to a Yale University librarian. Fred Shapiro, associate librarian at Yale Law School, released his seventh annual list of the most notable quotations of the year. “Debate remarks and gaffes actually seemed to play an important role in the ups and downs of the election campaign and may even have affected the ultimate outcome of the election,” Shapiro said. Romney, who lost the November election to President Barack Obama, made the 47 percent comment at a private fundraiser in May that was secretly recorded and posted online in September by Mother Jones magazine. “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what … who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims. … These are people who pay no income tax. … and so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives,” Romney said. Romney spoke about reviewing “binders full of women” as governor when he sought to diversify his Massachusetts administration. “It contributed to an image of him as being somewhat out of touch and maybe particularly out of touch with issues related to women,” Shapiro said. Obama made the list, too, for his “you didn’t build that” comment, his contention that people who built businesses had help, from teachers, family and other supporters — and sometimes the government. “It was probably the leading line that Obama wished he hadn’t made during this year,” Shapiro said. Obama’s “horses and bayonets” debate rebuke of Romney in an exchange over the size of the Navy also made the list. The original “Yale Book of Quotations” was published in 2006, and Shapiro has updated it with an annual list of the top 10 quotes. Shapiro picks quotes that are famous, important or revealing of the spirit of the times, not necessarily ones that are the most eloquent or admirable. Here’s the list: 1. “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what … who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims. … These are people who pay no income tax. … and so my job is not to worry about those people.

Ohio crackdown on Internet cafes runs out of time COLUMBUS (AP) — Don’t bet on a crackdown this year on gambling operations known as Internet cafes. The Ohio Senate won’t act before the session ends this month on a proposal that amounts to a virtual ban on the game parlors, Senate spokeswoman Angela Meleca said Tuesday. Senate President Tom Niehaus has told his Republican caucus that he would not bring the bill to a vote, citing a lack of time to fully vet the measure, Meleca said. The Senate aims to finish its work for the year by Thursday. The bill was approved by a 2-to-1 margin in House earlier this month. It would shut down nearly all of the estimated 800 sites by narrowly defining what counts as a sweepstake. Opponents say the Internet cafe computer games that operate like slot machines with cash prizes amount to illegal gambling. Customers pay for Internet time or phone cards and use them to bet points on computers loaded with games such as poker. Operators say they sell legitimate products with a chance to win a prize. The announcement of the proposal’s demise this session came on the heels of a packed Senate hearing on the issue. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has led the push to get rid of the businesses. He told a Senate panel on Tuesday that the amount of cash flowing through the operations made them ripe places for money laundering, organized crime and drug dealings. Plus, he said cafes offered the chance for consumers to be scammed. “We don’t know what the payout is to the people who go into these Internet cafes,” he said. It’s been nearly two years since lawmakers first began weighing what to do about these sweepstakes games that are largely unregulated and don’t face the same scrutiny as casinos and other games of chance. Some favored new regulations while others wanted a ban on the Internet cafes. DeWine told lawmakers he preferred a ban, but he would leave the decision up to the state Legislature. “The status quo is simply unacceptable,” he added. The Republican attorney gen- eral said later Tuesday that he was disappointed the Senate wouldn’t consider the bill. “I’m optimistic that the momentum on this issue will continue and the new General Assembly will act early next year,” DeWine said in a statement. Opponents to the bill lined the hearing room behind DeWine. Many wore T-shirts claiming the measure would take away their jobs. Owners and employees of Internet cafes had rallied in Cleveland on Monday, warning that forcing them out of business could cost 4,000 jobs or more. As ‘fiscal cliff ’ looms, voter angst is palpable HOOKSETT, N.H. (AP) — Five hundred miles from Washington, the lunch crowd at Robie’s Country Store and Deli is filled with angst over America’s elected leaders and their latest struggle to prevent a fiscal crisis. “I don’t know if I know all the ins and outs,” says Kimberlee Roux of nearby Manchester as she waits for her lunch order at the popular New Hampshire outpost. “But I think this one’s more serious than the others.” Indeed, unless Congress acts by year’s end, the nation will fall off a “fiscal cliff,” triggering broad tax increases for most Americans and massive spending cuts that economists warn could lead to another recession. Roux, a 50-year-old accountant, worries about her personal finances and fears the spending cuts may affect her disabled brother’s benefits. From New Hampshire diners to Colorado coffee shops, weary residents share Roux’s concerns. They relate the debate in Washington over their tax dollars with their own lives: average Americans who are struggling every day to make ends meet. And already distracted by the holidays and tired of politics after a bitter presidential campaign, they are calling on Washington to get its act together. At Robie’s, a roadside diner with walls plastered with political memorabilia, John Pfeifle shares his concerns while trying to enjoy the $6.99 chicken parmesan special. “Somebody’s gotta have some smarts,” says the 63-year-old business owner, complaining that both President Barack Obama and House Republicans seem willing to allow the nation to go over the cliff. “I have no faith at all they’ll do the right thing,” Pfeifle said. And why would these voters have confidence in Washington? The scene playing out on Capitol Hill is a familiar one as lawmakers with competing ideologies wage an 11thhour battle to avert another predictable crisis. This one comes just a year after an equally divided Washington nearly let the country default on its loan obligations — a debt-ceiling debate that contributed to the electorate’s deep lack of faith in their elected leaders and a drop in the nation’s credit rating. Evidence of Congress’ plummeting popularity is everywhere. “It’s pathetic. Nobody’s doing their job,” said Laura Hager, a retiree from Lancaster, Pa. “The rest of the country is being held hostage to this entire situation.” She said the uncertainty makes it difficult to shape a personal financial plan; she can’t imagine what business leaders must be going through. “Nobody can plan. Nobody knows what they’ll do,” she said. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., warned that the public’s disgust with Congress would reach new heights if lawmakers and the White House fail to reach an accord before the year-end deadline. “Ninety percent disapproval rating is going to go up to 99 percent disap- proval,” the senator said at a panel discussion last week in Washington on the fiscal cliff’s impact on businesses. Warner overstated Congress’ unpopularity, although not by much. A recent Associated Press-GfK poll found that 74 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job; just 23 percent approve. The figures are virtually unchanged from June and slightly above Congress’ recent low point of 12 percent approval during the debt ceiling debate in August 2011. Some voters are trying to ignore the debate altogether, although near-constant news coverage is making that difficult, especially as Obama and his Republican opponents work to rally their supporters. In a campaign-style event this week in Michigan, the heart of industrial America, Obama warned that he “won’t compromise” on his demand that the wealthiest Americans pay more in taxes. Polls find that most voters agree with the president’s deficit-cutting plan to raise tax rates on income over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples, although House Republicans are reluctant to agree. The conservative group Crossroads GPS is running television ads across the country describing Obama’s solution as “a huge tax increase” with “no real spending reforms.” ”Call President Obama and tell him it’s time to show us a balanced plan,” the ad says. Most voters interviewed in recent days are calling for an immediate compromise Murder From Page 1 ed guilty to an information of murder in the second degree.

Nibert or- and seem willing to raise taxes on the wealthy so long as the middle class is protected. There is a vague sense that the “fiscal cliff” is more serious than other recent Capitol Hill clashes. But barely a month after the presidential contest ended, most people say they’re not following the daily developments that consume Washington. In a Denver coffee shop, interior designer Roxann Lloyd, 42, is mystified by the sound and fury out of Washington over the cliff. “I don’t think they have any idea what a big deal is to an average person,” she said. “I’m just ignoring it.” Lloyd said she isn’t surprised by the partisan bickering over the issue. “I don’t feel like they are really looking out for us,” she said of Congress. John Baker, 65, a Denver psychologist, said he had little faith in Congress’ ability to fix the problem: “I don’t think Congress can fix a flat tire.” “It’s a typical Washington, ‘Let’s hit the panic button and keep people scared so they will let us do what we want to do,’” Baker said in a downtown Denver Starbucks. “Ultimately, it will be fixed but not until a lot of pockets are lined.” It’s unclear whether members of Congress are hearing the message. Rep. Charlie Bass, a New Hampshire Republican who lost his re-election bid last month, says it’s unclear whether his GOP colleagues will “face the reality that the president, at least at this point, is not going to accept anything other than a tax rate increase.” NATIONAL MARKETPLACE Give The Gift That Will Thrill Everyone!

Councilman Roger Manley asked “What does Middleport have to gain?” Again the mayor stressed that anything done has to come “with assurance that it benefits Middleport.” Speaking on behalf of the Commissioners, Ihle said Middleport is a “perfect fit,” that while they are looking for a long-term solutions, they know there are lots of questions and that it is going to be a “trial and error” solution, but that they need to get the system running again. “If you’re willing to work for us, we’ll take care of you and together we can solve this problem. You have the knowledge to handle things. We don’t. We’ll see that Middleport profits from the work they do,” said Ihle. Bartrum said the county just needs to break even the Rutland sewer-water system, that unless something happens soon more bad things are going to happen, and that as far as he sees, “we’re (Middleport and Commissioners) are on the same page” for taking care of the Rutland watersewer system. One of the EPA representatives’ emphasis was on getting the system in compliance. She said Rutland residents will have to pay for service (apparently some have quit paying their bills) and that they view fixing the problems a three to five year process. Both the Commissioners and Gerlach, Baker and Roberts were in accordance that the residents will have to pay for what it costs to operate the system. While a proposed agreement will be presented by Middleport officials to the Commissioners Thursday morning,, no action will be taken at that meeting. Any decision made will come from Council, perhaps as early as at the rescheduled second regular meeting of the month, 7 p.m. Monday.

Tagliabue, who was appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell to handle the appeals, still found that three of the players engaged in conduct detrimental to the league. He said they participated in a performance pool that rewarded key plays — including hard tackles — that could merit fines. But he stressed that the team’s coaches were very much involved. “My affirmation of Commissioner Goodell’s findings could certainly justify the issuance of fines. However, this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints’ organization,” the ruling said. Tagliabue oversaw a second round of player appeals to the league in connection with the cash-for-hits program run by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams from 2009-2011. The players initially opposed his appointment. Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma had been given a full-season suspension, while defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove each re- ceived shorter suspensions. Tagliabue cleared Fujita of conduct detrimental to the league. Saints quarterback Drew Brees offered his thoughts on Twitter: “Congratulations to our players for having the suspensions vacated. Unfortunately, there are some things that can never be taken back.” None of the players sat out any games because of suspensions. They have been allowed to play while appeals are pending, though Fujita is on injured reserve and Hargrove is not with a team. Shortly before the regular season, the initial suspensions were thrown out by an appeals panel created by the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Goodell then reissued them, with some changes, and now those have been dismissed. Now, with the player suspensions overturned, the end could be near for a nearly 10-month dispute over how the NFL handled an investigation that covered three seasons and gathered about 50,000 pages of documents. “We respect Mr. Tagliabue’s decision, which underscores the due process afforded players in NFL disciplinary matters,” the NFL said in a statement. “The decisions have made clear that the Saints operated a bounty program in violation of league rules See TAGLIABUE ‌| 10 Gallia Academy falls to Lady Dragons, 69-38 Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com CENTENARY, Ohio — After starting the year 2-0, the Gallia Academy girls basketball suffered its third straight loss Monday night following a 69-38 setback to visiting Fairland in a nonconference matchup in Gallia County. The host Blue Angels (23) never led in the contest, as the Lady Dragons (4-0) stormed out to a 12-1 first quarter advantage and never looked back in the 31-point decision. Fairland established a 2-0 advantage just nine seconds into regulation after Terra Stapleton converted a short jumper, but the Blue Angels received a free throw from Micah Curfman at the 6:38 mark of the first to cut the deficit down to 2-1. The guests answered with a 10-0 run over the next six-plus minutes to take a 12-1 cushion. GAHS ended a 6:20 scoreless drought with just 17 seconds left in the opening period after Chelsy Slone netted a short jumper, bringing the first quarter scoring to an end at 12-3. FHS twice led by as many as 19 points in the second stanza, the last of which came at 28-9 with 2:09 left until the half. The hosts ended a two-minute scoring drought with 23 seconds remaining before half to cut the intermission deficit down to 28-11. Fairland led 38-15 with 4:55 remaining in the third period, but the Blue Angels countered with a 12-6 run the rest of the canto to pull within 44-27 headed into the finale. GAHS never came closer the rest of the way, as the guests established their biggest lead of the night at 69-35 with 53 seconds remaining in the contest.

Hayman Gymnasium Monday night. Southern soars past Lady Falcons, 69-45 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com RACINE, Ohio — It was as simple as getting the ball in the post. The Southern girls basketball team scored 44 points in the paint Monday night which powered the Lady Tornadoes to a 69-45 victory over TriValley Conference Hocking Division foe Wahama in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium. Southern (2-3, 1-3 TVC Hocking) out scored the Lady Falcons (1-3, 1-2) 19-13 over the first eight minutes of the game to take the early lead. The Lady Tornadoes took the momentum into halftime after going on a 23-11 run in the second stanza. SHS led 42-24 at the start of the second half and pushed its lead to 21 points after out scoring WHS 13-10 in the third period. Due to fouls Wahama only had three players eligible to play in the fourth period which led Southern to play with just four players. Southern closed the game on a 14-11 run and took the 69-45 victory . The Lady Tornadoes were led by Celestia Hendrix with a doubledouble performance of 29 points, and 18 rebounds. Freshman Jansen Wolfe finished with 12 points, Maggie Cummins marked 10, while both Jordan Huddleston and Hannah Hill scored four points. Kyrie Swann finished with three points, Darien Diddle, Alison Deem and Savannah Bailey each finished with two points and Haley Hill notched one point to round out the SHS scoring. Following Hendrix on the boards for Southern were Wolfe and Diddle with nine rebounds apiece and Cummins with six.

Edward Davis Gymnaisum. The Tigers improved to 5-6 with the win. Rio Grande, which was coming off a 63-point triumph over Ohio University-Lancaster on Saturday to snap a four-game losing slide, dropped to 4-7 with the loss. The RedStorm also failed to put together back-to-back victories for the fourth time this season. Head coach Ken French’s club outshot and outrebounded the host Tigers, but they were also their own worst enemy by turning the ball over 12 times in the first half and 14 more times after the intermission. Rio Grande actually enjoyed a seven-point lead inside the game’s first 4-1/2 minutes and had a 15-10 advantage following a jumper by senior forward Turrell Morris with 12:58 left in the first half, but SIU ran off eight straight points - a spurt capped by a three-pointer by Freddy Edouard with 12:02 remaining before the break - to take an 18-15 lead of its own. It was a lead the Tigers never relinquished. SIU eventually built a 14-point cushion before settling for a 13-point halftime edge, 47-34. Rio Grande got the first points of the second half on a lay-in by senior center Dominick Haynes just 40 seconds into the period, but the RedStorm didn’t score again until a bucket by Morris nearly seven minutes later. By that time, the Tigers’ lead had ballooned to 23 points and Rio got no closer than 17 the rest of the way. SIU’s biggest lead of the game was 26 points, 77-51, following a Ka’Mar LaBrew layup with 5:29 left to play. Rio outscored the Tigers 12-2 the rest of the way to set the final score. LaBrew scored a game-high 23 points to pace a trio of double-digit scorers for SIU.

Drop the word “no” from your vocabulary. Because your birthday coincides with a New Moon, unusual charisma becomes the norm for you. You are the honey that bears seek! If you are single, many potential suitors surround you. Which one will you choose? If possible, don’t decide on the first date. If you are attached, guard against being too me-oriented. A fellow SAGITTARIUS might take risks in a different way than you do. 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 Keep reaching out to others, especially if recent circumstances caused a problem or a stunned reaction. Focus on conversations, yet maintain an even pace. You’ll cover a lot of ground if you let others open up. Detach if you have a strong reaction. Tonight: Take a risk. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH A partner continues to give you significant feedback. You might not like everything you hear, but at least now you know where someone is coming from. Share some special time with a friend who understands how to live life well. Tonight: Accept an invitation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be more in touch with your feelings than in recent months. An unexpected change of plans might be hurtful, but don’t take it personally. To your surprise, a meeting proves to be rather insightful. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You’ll accomplish a lot if you remain focused. The unexpected walks hand in hand with a boss or someone you need to answer to. Let it go. What you learn from this experience could be quite instrumental. Tonight: Get some exercise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH News gives you reason to frolic and celebrate. You could gain a deeper insight into your life. Opportunities come forward out of the blue when you have less energy to give. This pattern happens when you let go of the reins of control. Tonight: Let the fun begin. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Sometimes you are the source of your own pressure. The unexpected occurs, which encourages a partner to reach out and express some of his or her concerns. You might feel overwhelmed, as you could have too much on your plate. Tonight: To the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be up for more excitement or a change of pace. You might not need to look very far, either. An associate seems to have the right type of fire to light someone’s fuse. The result could be a type of combustion that you can’t control. Tonight: Relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be surprised by what an unexpected situation brings. An associate or a matter involving your daily life could take an interesting twist, which adds excitement, if nothing else. A discussion with a partner draws results. Tonight: Visit with a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be taken aback by someone’s efforts to make the day more to his or her liking. You might not be sure how another person will react. Stay open and fluid with the moment. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Plan a get-together with friends and loved ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Reframe a situation in a different light. Don’t allow your high physical energy to affect your thinking, as it might make you more nervous than need be. Take a midday walk to clear any tension. Tonight: Schedule some downtime for yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH A meeting could punctuate your plans. If you are single, you could meet someone who seems to have a magical quality about him or her. Lighten up when dealing with people, and you are likely to have better conversations. Tonight: Where the crowds are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with others in a manner that makes them feel comfortable. You might need to take the lead. Think through a situation with greater care. On the other hand, a holding pattern could create better results. Tonight: Buy a holiday gift or two on the way home.

Penalties. Dropped passes. A game-turning interception. A defensive letdown at the end. They reviewed all of those on Monday as they did a fast-forward to their next game, one that they now feel an urgency to win in order to stay in the race. A 20-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday left them tied with Pittsburgh at 7-6 for the second AFC wild card. The Steelers and the AFC North-leading Ravens (9-4) both lost on Sunday, giving Cincinnati an opening to improve its chances. Instead, the Bengals gave up 10 points in the closing minutes, ending their four-game winning streak. “We have the opportunity to still control our own end, from now until the end,” coach Marvin Lewis said on Monday. “We still have an opportunity to win the division. We still have an opportunity to qualify for the playoffs in a couple of ways. That’s all we can ask for. “We let a huge opportunity get away based upon what happened with a couple of other clubs yesterday, and that’s the shame of it. We had a lead, and we didn’t protect the lead very well on offense nor defense. That’s what’s disappointing.” Not much time to dwell on it. The Bengals play in Philadelphia (4-9) on Thursday night. Their season is likely to come down the following week, when they play at Pittsburgh. The Steelers won their game earlier this season in Cincinnati. If the Steelers sweep the se- ries, they’d have the head-to-head tiebreaker for the wild card berth. There’s still an outside chance to win the division if both Baltimore and Pittsburgh fade down the stretch and the Bengals win out. The loss to Dallas punctured their sense of being a team on the rise. “Guys are saying ‘we’ve got to get over it quickly,’” cornerback Leon Hall said Monday. “One thing some guys said was: ‘don’t splinter as a team.’ Sometimes when you have a tough loss, you sometimes splinter, which would create bigger problems. “That was probably one of the messages from yesterday and even today — sticking together, staying with the team like we’ve been doing all year.” Lewis had his team report for an afternoon meeting, then held a light practice at Paul Brown Stadium in the evening, getting ready for the night game in Philadelphia. Having to move onto the next opponent so quickly seemed to be a benefit. Tagliabue From Page 6 for three years, that the program endangered player safety, and that the commissioner has the authority under the (NFL’s collective bargaining agreement) to impose discipline for those actions as conduct detrimental to the league. Strong action was taken in this matter to protect player safety and ensure that bounties would be eliminated from football.” Meanwhile, the play- ers have challenged the NFL’s handling of the entire process in federal court, but U.S District Judge Ginger Berrigan had been waiting for the latest round of appeals to play out before deciding whether to get involved. NFL investigators found that Vilma and Smith were ring leaders of a cash-for-hits program that rewarded injurious tackles labeled as “cart-offs” and “knockouts.” The NFL also concluded that Hargrove lied to NFL investigators to help cover up the program. Goodell also suspended Williams indefinitely, while banning Saints head coach Sean Payton for a full season. Tagliabue’s ruling comes after a new round of hearings that for the first time allowed Vilma’s attorneys and the NFL Players Association, which represents the other three players, to cross-examine key NFL witnesses. Those witnesses included Wil- liams and former Saints assistant Mike Cerullo, who was fired after the 2009 season and whose email to the league, accusing the Saints of being “a dirty organization,” jump-started the probe. “We believe that when a fair due process takes place, a fair outcome is the result,” the players’ union said in a statement. “We are pleased that Paul Tagliabue, as the appointed hearings officer, agreed with the NFL Players Association that previously issued discipline was inappropriate in the matter of the alleged New Orleans Saints bounty program. “Vacating all discipline affirms the players’ unwavering position that all allegations the League made about their alleged ‘intent-toinjure’ were utterly and completely false. “We are happy for our members.” A statement released on Vilma’s behalf said the linebacker is “relieved and gratified that Jonathan no longer needs to worry about facing an unjustified suspension. “On the other hand, Commissioner Tagliabue’s rationalization of Commissioner Goodell’s actions does nothing to rectify the harm done by the baseless allegations lodged against Jonathan. Jonathan has a right and every intention to pursue proving what really occurred and we look forward to returning to a public forum where the true facts can see the light of day.” Falcons From Page 6 with five, and the assists catagory, with eight.
