A well-being check was received at 2:20 p.m Tuesday from a family member and that’s what led to the discovery. Sheriff Wood reports that the two individuals who were found deceased have been identified as Donald Icenhower, age 55 and Julie Zielinski, age 54.

Lacey Young, 30, was one of three individuals indicted based upon an investigation into the death of Terry “Shag” Rothgeb, then 55, of Gallipolis last year by the Gallia Sheriff’s Office. Ralph Young, 39, and Leeza Bartels, 22, both of Bidwell, were taken into custody by detectives with Young the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the Gallipolis Police Department after receiving an anonymous tip from the public as to their whereabouts in April of last year.

Condition of sheriff ’s office an issue By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood expressed that he was surprised to receive a letter from the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (OPBA), regarding the physical condition of the sheriff’s office. Wood recently received a letter from Mark Volcheck an attorney from OPBA regarding the issue. Volcheck stated in the letter, “the sheriff’s office continues to be a troublesome matter to members of the OPBA.” Wood commented he can understand why employees of the union would be requesting an attorney based on the condition of the building as he feels the building is unsafe. He said with a building having as much age as this structure does, the maintenance has not been kept up to be structurally sound. “More specifically, members are concerned for their health,” said Volcheck in the letter. Wood shared that he hears this same concern from his employees and he cannot stand back and say they can all continue working in these conditions. He expressed that he is responsible for keeping his employees and the prisoners he houses safe. “It is requested that an environmental site assessment be conducted by an independent contractor for both the building and land of the Sheriff’s Office,” stated Volcheck in the letter. Wood explained that he feels this assessment is necessary, so he and employees can know exactly what they work in every day. He expressed that he has hope Volcheck will take this as an opportunity to educate the community about the condition of this building and the necessity of a new building. Wood shared that a new building is not a want factor, but rather a very important need factor. He said he has plans for making this See CONDITION | 6 Meigs school board names leadership Staff Report JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Flu kills 2 Ohio boys DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Health officials now say two boys from Ohio have died from the flu in what is shaping up to be one of the most severe flu seasons in recent years. Ohio’s Department of Health said Wednesday that a 1-year-old from Lucas County has died. Earlier Wednesday, state health officials said a 4-year-old boy from Montgomery County died. Montgomery County’s coroner’s office says 4-year-old Jonah Rieben, of Clayton, died Jan. 6. Lucas County’s health commissioner says the 1-year-old died Monday. No other details were released. The deaths are the first reported by the state since flu season started in October. In Ohio, adult deaths believed to be associated with the flu aren’t required to be reported to public health agencies. The state has seen over 3,800 flu-associated hospitalizations this season.

She served as chairman of Meigs Farm Bureau Women’s Committee, 4-H advisor for 20 years, advisor for Jr. Leaders and Jr. Fair Board, and on State Extension Board for two terms. Pat was active in two garden clubs in the county, Chester (joined in 1952) and the Shade Valley Council, serving as county contact chairman two terms and as Regional Director attending and competing in many state competitions (O.A.G.C. and Garden Clubs of Ohio). She also gave flower-arranging demonstrations in Ohio and West Virginia. Pat was renowned for her talent of growing beautiful roses. She won many awards for this talent of growing and arranging flowers, especially her roses.

She holds a special place in the hearts of many people, as she had a unique talent for making each and every one feel special. Pat repeated this quote in some of her writings, “It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to really appreciate them, a day to love them, and entire lifetime to forget them.” We will never forget her.

Donations raise education levels in McDowell County Mentoring program addresses poverty CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — AT&T has given $200,000 to support the high school mentoring program in West Virginia’s McDowell County for the next two years. That follows a previous $300,000 contribution that the program’s organizers say enabled 57 atrisk high school students to graduate and enroll in college or join the military. According to the American Federation of Teachers, which says it spearheaded the program begun in 2011, it addresses “the elephant in the room — poverty and its consequences for students and their families.” Federation President Randi Weingarten says one new focus will be career and technical education. Reconnecting McDowell, with 125 corporate and other partners, says the county high school graduation rate has risen from 74 to 88 percent while those enrolling in college have increased from 25 to 40 percent. COLUMBUS, Ohio — More than ever, cyberthieves are targeting Ohio’s local governments, tax dollars and individuals with great sophistication. Increasingly, those being targeted are taking steps to bolster their online security. Ohio Auditor of State Dave Yost wants to help local governments and Ohioans fortify themselves from digital threats and fend off cyberattacks by offering a free, ondemand 90-minute webinar. The webinar follows popular training sessions that were held in communities throughout Ohio in 2017. The training sessions are geared toward helping government officials prevent and deal with cyberattacks. The response from attendees of these training sessions was overwhelmingly positive. There were requests from attendees to make the training available as an on-demand video that could be viewed by local government employees and the citizens of Ohio. Completing the training will satisfy continued education requirements for some. The cybersecurity training is available here. Dean Wright | OVP Ohio Auditor Dave Yost serves as a keynote speaker at the Gallia GOP Rally last October. “Hackers are becoming more and more sophisticated and are looking for data-rich targets,” Auditor Yost said. “Governments by the very nature of what they do have a great deal of information that these cybercriminals are after. We need to do all we can to help local leaders and Ohioans strengthen their governments to protect data and the interests of the citizens they serve.” “We have the ability to help local leaders and people prevent personal information from getting into the hands of evildoers, and that’s why we’re doing this training,” said Auditor Yost. The training is presented by Nicole Beckwith, an investigator and digital forensic analyst for the Auditor of State. Beckwith is a recognized expert on cybersecurity, policy, cyberterrorism and is trained in computer forensics, network investigations and network intrusion response. In addition to the video training, the Ohio Auditor’s office is planning to host additional in-person cybersecurity trainings throughout Ohio beginning the first quarter of 2018. Below are several addi- tional online cybersecurity resources: Web page dedicated to keeping people updated about cybersecurity; Best Practices Newsletter: “Vigilance, planning help to avoid becoming cyberattack victim”; News releases about cybersecurity; Cybercrime Prevention Definitions; Cybersecurity Preparedness Checklist; Victim of Cybercrime Contact List; U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cyber Hygiene and Cyber Security Recommendations; Protect Yourself from Ransomware.

Under current law, federal agencies may use domestic content waivers to Buy American laws to purchase goods or services from foreign companies only in certain circumstances: for example, when an American-made good is unavailable or will significantly increase the cost of a product. However, federal agencies overuse this waiver authority. There is currently no government-wide system Portman tracking the use and abuse of these waivers by federal agencies. The new BuyAmerican. gov Act would direct the General Services Administration to establish a central, publicly-available website, called BuyAmerican.gov, to collect and display information about each requested waiver to Buy American laws. This new website will allow manufacturers and other interested parties to identify contract opportunities and hold federal agencies accountable for abusing Buy American waivers. “We must do everything we can to protect and maximize American jobs, and that starts by ensuring that our tax dol- lars aren’t used to create jobs overseas. Unfortunately, in the last five Brown years alone, U.S. federal agencies have spent $47.7 billion on goods manufactured by foreign firms, resulting in contracts and jobs lost to overseas competitors,” said Portman. “By improving transparency, the BuyAmerican. gov Act will encourage federal agencies to support American workers and American jobs by faithfully complying with Buy American law. This is a bipartisan bill that is needed now to help protect American jobs.” “Taxpayer dollars should support Americanmade products, and our federal agencies should lead the way in promoting U.S. jobs and products,” said Brown. “American workers are the best at what they do, and our federal agencies should always look to them first when awarding government contracts.” NOTE: In the last five years, U.S federal agencies have spent $47.7 billion on goods manufactured by foreign firms. The Department of Defense (DoD), the largest purchaser of manufactured goods in the world, has spent almost $200 billion on manufactured goods made by foreign companies since 2007. At the same time, the United States has been shedding manufacturing jobs that could have been kept in the U.S. In addition to creating the BuyAmerican.gov website, the bipartisan bill codifies President Trump’s Buy American Executive Order and requires agencies to report on the implementation of, and compliance with, Buy American laws. Submitted on behalf of the offices of U.S. Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown. Vegas hotels bet on tech to dazzle guests LAS VEGAS (AP) — It takes just minutes for a room service attendant to respond to a text message asking for a soda, bringing the Diet Coke on a tray with a glass of ice and lime wedges, no need for the modern hassle of placing a phone call. Thousands of guests at some of Las Vegas’ casino-hotels also can get towels, food and toiletries delivered with just a few taps on their smartphone. It comes as the staples of hotel room technology — a phone on a nightstand and a flat-screen TV — aren’t cutting it anymore in the hypercompetitive world of Sin City tourism. Guests can use tablets to control room features like lights and temperature. Shower infusers and special lights promise travelers a chance to recharge. And a 4-foot-tall (1-meter-tall) robot can point visitors to the near- est ATM. In the battle for millions of Las Vegas’ tourists, voice-assisted speakers and purification systems also are part of the push to attract evermore-demanding customers and keep them coming back. “The hotel brands or the casino brands are trying to make themselves evolve to become more relevant to a younger audience that is highly technologically enabled,” said Robert Rippee, director of the Hospitality Lab at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Las Vegas hotels are not the only ones using such technology. The Acme Hotel Co. in Chicago put an Amazon Echo in every room and the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, California, has equipped rooms with iPads. But what sets Sin City properties apart is the volume of guests they handle, which can test the technology that must be easy to understand. “Let’s say the tablet is a Microsoft Surface, but the tablet you use is an iPad, so you immediately have a gap,” Rippee said. “You, as the user, now have to learn to use a product an operating system you are unfamiliar with. If you are here for two nights, you are going to discard it.” Caesars Entertainment launched a texting service at its 3,976-room Caesars Palace casinohotel on the Las Vegas Strip in August, months after rolling it out at two boutique hotels. Senior vice president and chief experience officer Michael Marino said the service aims to improve guests’ stay after the company noticed a dip in phone calls. “It’s not like they have less needs, it’s just that something has happened over the last couple of years where people just don’t like to call people anymore,” Marino said. Four properties now have the service named Ivy, which the company credits for higher scores of two of its hotels on travel review website TripAdvisor. The service uses artificial intelligence to automatically answer common questions and requests, such as gym location and hours of operation. But trained staffers type back responses to more complex inquiries such as where Muslims should face to pray in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca. “The window of your room faces to the East. If you pray facing the window, you will be oriented towards Mecca,” Ivy answered within two minutes. �E ditorial 4 Thursday, January 11, 2018 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW We are not ready for the influenza pandemic WASHINGTON — It starts with body aches, chills, exhaustion, headache and fever. Then come congestion, sore throat and cough. It is miserable. It is the flu. In Ohio, where I picked up the Ann bug that laid me low, despite a McFeatters flu vaccine shot, the hospitals are Contributing full. But it is spreading across the columnist country like a shadow. No state is immune. I had just read several excellent books about the great flu pandemic of 1918, which started a century ago this month. It is a chilling medical mystery, with incredible death and suffering. More than 500 million people were infected. Many recovered only to die young of complications, including my grandfather whom I never knew. Some American soldiers sent abroad to fight the Great War carried the virus with them. It spread throughout Europe, and healthy soldiers picked it up and came back ravished with illness, and the flu spread across the country and back again. People got up healthy in the morning and were dead by nightfall. Those most vulnerable were between the ages of 20 and 40. There isn’t even a good estimate of how many died; it is believed to be at least 20 million and perhaps 50 million people worldwide, the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history, worse than the Bubonic Plague outbreak from 1347 to 1351 and more than all the deaths in World War I. In the United States one of every four people got sick. With all our knowledge, our vaccines and public information campaigns and our gleaming hospitals, that could not happen again, I thought. I was wrong. My sister has been involved with disaster preparedness drills in Ohio in the event of another flu epidemic; she tells me the state is not prepared. Apparently, this is true for every state. I am writing about this because when I was a reporter I covered many hearings in Washington about the politics of vaccines. It was infuriating that people were sick and died because of politics. It was infuriating how often it happened. But it’s happening again. We are not remotely ready for the influenza pandemic which, scientists insist, will happen. Only 40 percent of AmeriWashington, at cans get the flu vaccine every the moment, is year.

They feel guilty if they don’t tough it out and report for duty. They get on planes and spread the virus from one state to another, from one country to another. They don’t cough into their elbows but send a prism of deadly droplets all around them. Worse, hospitals do not have enough drugs on hand to handle an all-out epidemic, and getting more would be difficult if not impossible on short notice. Washington, at the moment, is not particularly interested in science. Research budgets have been slashed, and more cuts are coming. The government spent only $75 million last year on flu vaccine research. The White House is not interested in developing a universal vaccine, the best solution if an animal flu virus infects humans and then goes viral. But many are worried. Michael Osterholm, professor and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, and Mark Okshaker, a documentary film maker who with Osterholm wrote “Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs,” sounded a full-throated alarm in The New York Times. “We are not prepared,” they said. “Our current vaccines are based on 1940s research. Deploying them against a severe global pandemic would be equivalent to trying to stop an advancing battle tank with a single rifle.” They, too, insist a pandemic is not a question of “if” but “when.” They argue for a smallpox-vaccine-like effort, a “Manhattan Project-scale effort.” That’s not likely with a tax cut adding $1.5 trillion to the national debt, meaning, by law, less medical research.

In ancient times, that’s what you may have said — if you were still alive — after being struck in the forehead by one of Zeus’ thunderbolts. But now it’s what the Democratic Party is saying after they’ve had their Oprah “aha” moment. Because after her presidential-ish speech at the Golden Globe Awards the other night — and please don’t play the fool and pretend it wasn’t a presidential-ish speech, because it was — everything becomes clear. And there is nothing, really, that the Democratic Party can do about it. All Oprah needs to do is reach out her hand for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, as if it were a warm piece of White House pie. It’s on her plate. It’s done. Because if she is denied her pie — as reportedly happened during an awkward visit to the Obama White House — we may witness a disaster. Oprah Winfrey is an expert when it comes to celebrity and marketing. And she’s an artistic genius when it comes to public feelings and public emoting. So when she delivered that speech at the Golden Globes, so folksy, so stirring that Hollywood actors cried real tears and political journalists felt the tingles run down their legs once again, you knew it was her moment. “For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men,” Winfrey said to the crowd on national TV. “But their time is up. least she thought Their time is up.” John so highly of him I’m not making that she once publight of her speech.

It relies less on policy than on feelings and emotion. And all of it is set upon the party foundation of racial and gender identity politics. Oprah is African-American. She’s a woman. She was raised a poor girl in Milwaukee, and she made her own way and spent decades telling Americans about their feelings and emotions and made billions of dollars. So who would take her down? Who would dare mock her? Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren and even creepy touchy-feely former Vice President Joe Biden wouldn’t dare. And Kirsten Gillibrand, for whom Al Franken was subjected to ritual sacrifice on the altar of her presidential ambitions? No way, Kirsten. Too bad, Al. Andrew Cuomo? He can cry. So to help soothe their sad feelings, I’ve come up with a new cocktail in honor of Oprah’s ascendancy. You can call it Cuomo Tears on the Rocks or Kirsten’s Sobs. Sanders Shrieks, Warren’s War Cry on Ice or Biden’s Fingertips on Your Wife’s Neck. Or a Chilly Gillibrand with a Franken Swizzle. It is a drink of equal parts bitters and broken dreams, shaken, not stirred. They’ll smile and gulp it down and announce it’s the tastiest thing they’ve ever tried, if Oprah serves it to them. And they’ll say: “Please, Oprah, may I have another?” 13th National Automobile Show in New York.

The Gallia- Meigs Community Action Agency Emergency HEAP Program started on Nov. 1, 2017 and will continue through March 31. All clients can contact the new automated system for making appointments. The busiest time of day to call is in the mornings, so individuals should wait until the afternoon or later to call. Customers shared it is easier. The Interactive Voice Response System gives customers access seven days a week and 24 hours a day for making their appointment by phoning in. The new number is toll free at 1-866-409-1361. The Gallia-Meigs CAA is hoping that customers find this to be a great tool in helping to schedule an appointment. Customers will have to provide their social security number or client number as well as their gas and electric account number in order to make an appointment. However, please note, an appoint- ment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off. It is advised to wait until the end of the recording to receive a confirmation number because without a confirmation number the appointment has not been made. Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, are facing the threat of disconnection, have 25 percent or less supply of bulk fuel, or have less than a 10 day supply of wood or coal. The program allows a one time payment per heating season to restore or retain home heating. The potential dollar amount will be up to $175 for regulated utilities, up to $550 for unregulated utilities, up to $450 for wood, coal, or pellets, up to $750 for propane/fuel oil, and up to eight cylinders of propane. The income guidelines for Regular HEAP and Emergency HEAP are the same. However, Regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12 month period or three month period for the help is determined Thaw causing leaks in Tuppers Plains-Chester Water District income for a 1 person household is $21,105.00, 2 people is $28,420.00, 3 people is $35,735.00, 4 people is $43,050.00, 5 people is $50,365.00, and 6 people is $57,680.00, 7 people is $64,995.00, 8 people is $72,310.00. Households with more than eight members should add an additional $1,828.00 per member to the yearly income. Both Emergency HEAP and Regular HEAP applications will be completed at both offices including the Central Office which is located in Gallia County at 8010 N. SR 7 and the Cheshire or the Meigs County Office which is located at 1369 Powell Street in Middleport. Appointments will be made by our IVR System with appointment times ranging from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Friday 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The first nine walk-ins at the Cheshire office will be seen and the first three walk-ins at our Middleport office will be seen Monday through Friday.

Examples of these types of situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability, or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Child Support must be verified for the last 3 months and up to 5 days from your appointment. A copy of the applicant’s most recent gas and electric bill is required. It is also required that individuals provide social security cards for all household members. Individuals will also be asked for proof of landlord including the address and the phone number of the landlord. If grandparents have custody of the children in the home, the custody papers are needed. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 175 percent calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual TUPPERS PLAINS — According to the Tuppers Plains-Chester Water District, the district has noticed when the thawing temperatures came to the area that the water production at its treatment plant increased a substantial amount. From the distribution system, workers have seen all pump systems running longer and many tanks are struggling to fill in the night when they normally always do. “From our past experience we believe this is from the thaw,” a statement from the district said. The statement, sent by District General Manager Donald Poole, went on to state: “We have found several leaks on our distrubution system but our largest area of water use is going through water meters. Some of the many water leaks are from dwellings that are not occupied or not occupied during the winter. Places where the customer wanted to maintain water service and may not know they have a problem. When we have a large main line leak it is obvious the area it is in and they usually are found in a short order. The thawing leaks are more widespread and they do not point at one location or area. We ask that if you know of these places owned by friends, neighbors, or relatives to please ask about them or do a walk around their place to see if water might be running. If there is something leaking sometimes just getting close enough to the structure or water meter you can hear water running. If you ‘see something say something’ also rings true for this situation but you ‘hearing something’ can also save someone a lot of money. Be a good neighbor and let’s look after each other if possible.” Supreme Court appears sympathetic to Ohio voter purge effort By Mark Sherman Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to suppress votes from minorities and poorer people who tend to vote for Democrats.

Investigators returned to where they believe Rothgeb originally died at a residence in the Rodney area, according to previous conversations with Champlin. An autopsy report by the Montgomery County Coroner reads, “It is my opinion that the cause of death of Terry R. Rothgeb is multiple drug intoxication (fentanyl, heroine, cocaine).” As part of court proceedings, Ralph reportedly said he and his colleagues attempted to revive Rothgeb with Narcan, an opioid overdose revival drug, and CPR on the deceased’s form. Ralph was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in June while Bartles was sentenced to two years in July last year. Both were convicted of gross abuse of a corpse, a fifth-degree felony, and tampering with evidence, a thirddegree felony. Erin Perkins is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.

Jim Renacci has as his running mate Amy Murray, a Cincinnati councilwoman and former P&G Asian business division executive. Attorney General Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Jon Husted consolidated their campaigns Nov. 30, with Husted as running mate to the former U.S. senator. On the Democratic side, former federal consumer products chief Richard Cordray made it official in Akron on Wednesday: former congresswoman Betty Sutton has dropped her governor bid to be his running mate. Cordray said they share a vision to “make Ohio fairer” and focus on kitchen-table issues. “I think that this case, along with the case we dealt with last year (the Richard Hurt case) show the absolute need for the legislature to do something (with abuse of a corpse violation penalties),” said Holdren. “It’s outrageous that this can happen to a body and a tampering with evidence charge is a higher penalty (than an abuse of corpse charge).” The max sentence in Ohio one could receive for abusing a corpse is one year in a state facility. Tampering with evidence charge sentences can result in a max of three years. “I think that it would outrage the community’s reasonable sensibilities in that would the community deem it reasonable for you to pass away and for folks to move your body to never be found again,” said Holdren. “Every day I think a jury convicts on that.” “Lacey was found in Columbus, Ohio, and taken to a jail facility,” said Holdren. “She saw a judge at which time the judge gave her an OR bond (own recognizance) with the order that she come to court here in Gallia County. Condition From page 1 an affordable project. Wood expressed the need in putting money towards something in the future, rather than trying to fix the old. He said that he has not given up on the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office and Correctional Facility levy and bond issue and he needs the people of the county to understand what is at stake. Wood presented this letter to the Meigs County Commissioners who are letting Prosecuting Attorney James Stanley review the letter before they take further action. Erin Perkins is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing. She did not do that. So, the US Marshals Service went after her a second time.” Holdren said his office was in contact with the Franklin Prosecutor’s Office in Columbus and stressed Lacey should not get an OR bond. The explanation Holdren said he received was that because Lacey had low tier felonies, it was likely she would get an OR bond as common practice. Because Lacey did not show to court the first time and was retrieved a second time, she was held on a cash bond. “Once we had her back here, we had a couple different escape attempts,” said Holdren. Holdren said Lacey would plead guilty to escape charges and complicity to assault on a peace officer for events happening in the Gallia Jail in September of last year, along with her abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence charges. In total, Lacey faced a fifth-degree felony abuse of corpse sentence of one year, one tampering with evidence third-degree felony sentence of three years, a third-degree felony THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News at Six (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) AmerNow "Poisonous Spray" News at 6 ABC World (N) News (N) 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. (N) News (N) Daily Mail Eyewitness TV News (N) Legislature Nightly Today Business Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. (N) News (N) 6 PM 6:30 of escape with a three year sentence, another felony escape with a three year sentence and two fourth-degree felony charges of complicity to assault on a peace officer for two years.

A federal inspection was underway, they said. Within 20 minutes, they verified that the cashier had a valid green card and served notice on the owner to produce hiring records in three days. The well-rehearsed scene, executed with quiet efficiency in Los Angeles’ Koreatown, played out at about 100 7-Eleven stores in 17 states and the District of Columbia, a rolling operation that officials called the largest immigration action against an employer under Donald Trump’s presidency. The so-called employment audits and interviews with store workers could lead to criminal Chris Carlson | AP U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents serve an employment audit notice at a 7-Eleven convenience store Wednesday in Los Angeles. Agents said they targeted about 100 7-Eleven stores nationwide Wednesday to open employment audits and interview workers. charges or fines. And they appeared to open a new front in Trump’s expansion of immigration enforcement, which has already brought a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and pledges to spend billions of dollars on a border wall with Mexico. A top official at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Wednesday’s operation was “the first of many” and “a harbinger of what’s to come” for employers. “This is what we’re gearing up for this year and what you’re going to see more and more of is these large-scale compliance inspections, just for starters,” said Derek Benner, acting head of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations, which oversees cases against employers. After inspections, officials plan to look at whether the cases warrant administrative action or criminal investigations, Benner said. “It’s not going to be limited to large companies or any particular industry, big, medium and small,” Benner said. 7-Eleven Stores Inc., based in Irving, Texas, said in a statement that the owners of its fran- chises are responsible for hiring and verifying work eligibility. The chain with more than 8,600 convenience stores in the U.S. said it has previously ended franchise agreements for owners convicted of breaking employment laws. Unlike other enforcement efforts that have marked Trump’s first year in office, Wednesday’s actions were aimed squarely at store owners and managers, though 21 workers across the country were arrested on suspicion of being in the country illegally. Illegal hiring is rarely prosecuted, partly because investigations are time-consuming and convictions are difficult to achieve because employers can claim they were duped by fraudulent documents or intermediaries. Administrative fines are discounted by some as a business cost. George W. Bush’s administration aggressively pursued criminal investigations against employers in its final years with dramatic predawn shows of force and large numbers of worker arrests. Barack Obama’s administration more than doubled employer audits to more than 3,100 a year in 2013, shunning Bush’s flashier approach. John Sandweg, an acting ICE director under Obama, said significant fines instilled fear in employers and draining resources from other enforcement priorities. Wednesday’s operation arose from a 2013 investigation that resulted in charges against nine 7-Eleven franchisees and managers in New York and Virginia. Eight have pleaded guilty and were ordered to pay more than $2.6 million in back wages, and the ninth was arrested in November. In the 2013 investigations, managers used more than 25 stolen identities to employ at least 115 people in the country illegally, knowing they could pay below minimum wage, according to court documents.

The drenching storm that triggered the disaster had cleared out, giving way to sunny skies, as searchers worked carefully in a landscape strewn with hazards. “We’ve gotten multiple reports of rescuers falling through manholes that were covered with mud, swimming pools that were covered up with mud,” said Anthony Buzzerio, a Los Angeles County fire battalion chief. “The mud is acting like a candy shell on ice cream. It’s crusty on top but soft underneath, so we’re having to be very careful.” Fifteen people were confirmed dead and two dozen people remained missing, said Amber Anderson, a Santa Barbara County spokeswoman. “We have no idea where they’re at. We think somewhere in the debris field,” she said. Buzzerio led a team of 14 firefighters and six dogs in the debris field, which was spread over 30 square miles. They “We’ve gotten multiple reports of rescuers falling through manholes that were covered with mud, swimming pools that were covered up with mud.” — Anthony Buzzerio, Los Angeles County fire battalion chief used long-handled tools to search the muck. By lunchtime, they hadn’t found anybody, dead or alive. Twenty people remained hospitalized, four in critical condition. The deluge destroyed 100 houses and damaged 300 others, Santa Barbara County authorities said. Eight commercial properties were destroyed and 20 damaged. Weimer’s parents, Jim and Alice Mitchell, didn’t heed a voluntary evacuation warning and had decided to stay home Monday to celebrate her father’s 89th birthday. She hoped to find them in a shelter or hospital. “They’re an adorable couple, and they were in love with their house. That’s their forever home,” Weimer said. People in Montecito, a wealthy enclave of about 9,000 people northwest of Los Angeles that is home to such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey, Rob Lowe and Ellen DeGeneres, had counted itself lucky last month after the biggest wildfire in California history spared the town. But it was the fire that led to the mudslide, by burning away vegetation. “We totally thought we were out of the woods,” said Jennifer Markham, whose home escaped damage in both disasters. “I was frozen yesterday morning thinking, ‘This is a million times worse than that fire ever was.’” Another storm-related death was reported in Northern California, where a man was killed when his car was apparently struck by falling rocks in a landslide Tuesday evening in Napa County.

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — It was a tale of two halves. At the halfway mark of Tuesday night’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking boys basketball game, South Gallia and Waterford were tied at 27. The Wildcats, however, outscored the Rebels 26-17 after the intermission, and went on to a 53-44 victory in Gallia County. South Gallia (1-9, 0-6 TVC Hocking) and Waterford (5-2, 5-1) were separated by six points at the end of the first quarter, as the Wildcats jumped to a 18-12 advantage. SGHS countered with a 15-9 second quarter surge that knotted things up headed into the break. In the first half of play, the Rebels utilized a 10-0f-28 shooting performance from the field — which included going 4-of-8 from three-point range to tie the game at 27 at halftime. In contrast, Waterford shot 11-of-27 from the field and went just 1-of-7 beyond the three-point arc. The Wildcats dominated the boards in the first half as they combined for 21 total rebounds, while the Rebels pulled down nine. WHS pulled away in the third quarter, outscoring SGHS by an 11-4 count. Both teams shot poorly in the third frame, as the Wildcats shot 3-of-12 from the field while the Rebels mustered just 1-of-15 as a team. Both teams remained scoreless in the second half, until South Gallia sophomore Austin Day ended the scoreless drought at the 5:39 mark as he sank two free throws to push the Rebels ahead at 29-27. Austin Stapleton provided the only other points for South Gallia in the quarter, with a successful two-point attempt with 4:39 remaining in the third. The Wildcats completed See WILDCATS | 10 Blue Devils top South Point, 59-57 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com SOUTH POINT, Ohio — In a bit of a cliff-hanger, the Blue Devils managed to hold on. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team won each of the first three quarters, then held off a late charge to claim a 59-57 victory over host South Point on Tuesday night during an Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Lawrence County. The Blue Devils (9-1, 4-1 OVC) battled back and forth with the Pointers (3-5, 1-3) throughout the course of 32 minutes, but the guests managed to gradually build a two-possession lead that ultimately proved huge down the stretch.

Eleven seconds later, Bradley called a timeout to set up the final play for the White Falcons. Litchfield missed his initial two-point attempt, but grabbed his own rebound and sank his second shot for two. The guests’ last-ditch threepoint attempt bounced off the rim and sealed the White Falcons’ one-point, 43-42, win. “During the timeout we told them that No. 33(Litchfield) was going to drive it to the hole,” Eastern head coach Jeremy Hill said. “We asked our weak-side help to stay in the middle of the floor and stay disciplined on defense, and then get the board.

The RedStorm, who learned they’d cracked the NAIA DII Top 25 poll at No. 21 shortly before tipoff, improved to 18-1 with a 16th straight victory. The 16-game win streak equals a program record set during the 2014-15 season — the last time that Rio earned a berth to the national tournament.

Rio led by as many as 14 points before settling on a nine-point halftime cushion and continued to pull away over the final two periods. After the RedStorm scored the first 10 points of the second half, the Bulldogs got no closer than 12 points on three different occasions in the third quarter. Rio’s largest lead of the night was 23 points, which it reached twice in the final 4:13 of the contest. Ten different players scored for the RedStorm, including three who reached double figures. Junior Chelsy Slone (Gallipolis, OH) led the way with a careerhigh 19 points — 15 of which came via five three-point goals. Holden finished with 14 points, while junior Jasmine Smith (Canal Winchester, OH) added 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds.
