POMEROY — The
local dog warden
attended the regularly
scheduled Meigs County
Commissioners meeting
on Thursday to discuss
her canine center’s yearly
statistics.
Coleen Murphy-Smith,
dog warden at Meigs
County Canine Rescue
and Adoption Center,
shared with the commissioners the total amount
of dogs housed in 2017
was 852. Murphy-Smith
said 311 dogs were
adopted, 133 dogs were
reclaimed, 357 were
rescued, 6 passed away
from natural causes, and
43 were euthanized for
either severe aggression
or illness. She said two
dogs remained in house
from 2017 into 2018.
Commissioner Randy
Smith commented that
the 2017 numbers will be
recorded in their journal
and a file will be kept in
the office for anyone in
the community wishing
to view the statistics.
Smith added that
according to the humane
society a shelter can only
be considered a no kill
shelter if the amount of
animals euthanized is
lower than 10 percent and
even though the Meigs
canine center is not classified as a no kill shelter
the amount of animals
euthanized for 2017 was
only 5 percent.

Congress nears showdown votes on averting shutdown
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
divided Congress barreled toward
a possible election-year government shutdown Thursday, facing
showdown votes in the House
and Senate to keep federal offices
open and hundreds of thousands
of workers on the job.
Weeks of argument over immigration, big spending and more
remained unresolved, and Republican leaders were straining to win
passage of stopgap legislation that
would stave off a shutdown until
Feb. 16 to give bargainers more
time. But success wasn’t assured
in the House, and odds were rising against approval by the Senate.
“We’re doing fine,” Republican
House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin said of the bill heading for
a vote in his chamber Thursday
night. “I have confidence we’ll
pass this.”
Even so, most Democrats were
ready to oppose the legislation,
and GOP conservatives were
threatening to defect as well.
Even if the measure survives in
the House, strong Democratic
opposition and uncertain backing
by Republicans have dimmed its
prospects in the Senate. The GOP
controls the Senate 51-49 but will
need at least 60 votes — meaning
a large block of Democrats — to
muscle the measure to passage
over Democratic delaying tactics.
Even before the pivotal votes,
Republicans were all but daring Democrats to scuttle the bill
and force a shutdown because
of immigration. They said that
would hurt Democratic senators
seeking re-election in 10 states
that President Donald Trump carried in 2016.
Trump himself weighed in from
Pennsylvania, where he flew to
help a GOP candidate in a special
congressional election.

“I really believe the Democrats
want a shutdown to get off the
subject of the tax cuts because
they’re doing so well,” he said.
Democrats said Republicans
would be faulted because they
control Congress and the White
House.
“You have the leverage. Get this
done,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
If the current measure fails, the
next steps are unclear.
Barring a last-minute pact
between the two parties on spending and immigration disputes that
have raged for months, lawmakers
said a measure financing agencies
for just several days was possible
to build pressure on negotiators
to craft a deal. Also imaginable:
lawmakers working over the
weekend with a shutdown underway — watched by a public that
has demonstrated it has abhorred
such standoffs in the past.

Gymnasts confront Michigan sports doctor
By Mike Householder
and Ed White
Associated Press
LANSING, Mich. —
U.S. Olympian McKayla
Maroney said being sexually assaulted by a Michigan sports doctor who
molested her and other
gymnasts scarred her
mind in ways that may
never heal.
Dr. Larry Nassar won’t
be sentenced until next
week to accommodate the
many victims who want
to speak. Since Tuesday,
Judge Rosemarie Aquilina
has listened to more than
60 who were molested
after seeking his help for
injuries, including a statement from Maroney that
was read by a prosecutor
on Thursday.
“Dr. Nassar was not
a doctor,” said the 2012
Olympic gold and silver
medalist. “He left scars
on my psyche that may
never go away.”
USA Gymnastics in
2016 reached a financial
settlement with Maroney
that barred her from
making disparaging
remarks. But the organization this week said
it would not seek any
money for her “brave
statements.”
Matthew Dae Smith | Lansing State Journal via AP
Current student and former MSU gymnast Lindsey Lemke reacts
Thursday after speaking in Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina’s
courtroom during the third day of victim impact statements
regarding former sports medicine doctor Larry Nassar. Lemke
addressed John Geddert of Twistars, the USAG, MSU President Lou
Anna K. Simon, and Nassar. Nassar, 54, faces a minimum sentence
of 25 to 40 years in prison for molesting girls at Michigan State
University and his home.
As the hearing was happening Thursday, USA
Gymnastics announced
that it was ending its
long relationship with the
Karolyi Ranch, the Huntsville, Texas, home of former national team coordinator Martha Karolyi
and her husband, Bella.
The announcement came
three days after Olympic
champion Simone Biles
expressed dismay at having to attend camps there,
where she says Nassar
sexually abused her.
Aquilina started Thursday’s proceedings by
saying Nassar had written a letter fearing that
his mental health wasn’t
strong enough to sit and
listen to a parade of victims. The judge dismissed
it as “mumbo jumbo.”
“Spending four or five
days listening to them is
minor, considering the
hours of pleasure you’ve
had at their expense,
ruining their lives,” Aqui-
lina said.
Nassar, 54, faces a minimum sentence of 25 to 40
years in prison for molesting girls at Michigan
State University and his
home. He also was a team
doctor at Indianapolisbased USA Gymnastics,
which trains Olympians.
He’s already been sentenced to 60 years in
federal prison for child
pornography crimes.
A 2000 Olympian,
Jamie Dantzscher, looked
at Nassar and said, “How
dare you ask any of us for
forgiveness?”
“Your days of manipulation are over,” she said.
“We have a voice. We
have the power now.”
Nassar wasn’t the
only target. Victims also
criticized Michigan State
and USA Gymnastics.
Michigan State President
Lou Anna Simon attended part of the session
Wednesday. The school is
being sued by dozens of
women, who say campus
officials wrote off complaints about the popular
doctor.
“Guess what? You’re
a coward, too,” current
student and former gymnast Lindsey Lemke said
Thursday, referring to
Simon.

for people to follow Him.
Pastor Ann
One day as Jesus was
Moody
walking along the shore
of the Sea of Galilee, He
saw two brothers – Simon Peter and
Andrew. They were throwing nets into
the water to try to catch fish because
they were both fishermen. That was
how they made their living. Jesus called
to them and said, “Come, follow Me,
and I will make you a different kind of
fishermen. You will bring in people,
not fish!” (Mark 1:14-20) Simon Peter
and Andrew immediately dropped what
they were doing and followed Jesus.
Then as Jesus, Simon Peter, and
Andrew continued to walk along the
shore, they saw two other brothers –
James and John, sitting in their boat
mending their nets with their father.
Jesus called out to those two brothers to come along as well. They also
dropped their nets, left their father and
boat, and followed Jesus.
These were the first of Jesus’ disciples. They left their everyday lives
to follow and learn from Jesus. Then
later they told the world about the
love of the Savior, Jesus Christ. We are
called to be “fishers of men” too. Jesus
wants us to show and tell others about
Him. Did you ever think of yourself as
a disciple of Christ and fisherman for
people? We are – at Christ’s command.
Be a good disciple by doing what Jesus
wants us to do every day and telling
others what Jesus has done for you. We
may not be able to see Jesus in person,
but others can see Him in you when
you are kind and loving. You may be
the Jesus that people see today! That
is awesome to think about and also a
great responsibility when you think
about it. Jesus is so proud of us when
we try to represent Him as He really is
in our lives.
I may not be a very good fisherman
for fish, but I hope and pray that I can
be a good fisherman for people, so they
can love Jesus and know of His love for
them. I hope and pray that for you too!
Let’s pray. Dear Jesus, thank You for
showing us how to be fishermen for
people, so everyone will learn about
You. Help us to be good at showing and
telling others how You love and forgive
us. Let us be the best kind of fishermen
possible – reeling in others to You! In
Your name we pray, Amen.

toilet, a prosecutor said
Thursday.
“The victimization
appeared to intensify over
time,” Riverside County
District Attorney Mike
Hestrin said in announc
ing charges. “What
started out as neglect
became severe, pervasive,
prolonged child abuse.”
David Turpin, 56, and
Louise Turpin, 49, were
charged with torture,
child abuse, dependent
adult abuse and false
imprisonment. David Tur
pin was also charged with
performing a lewd act on
a child under age 14.
The litany of abuses
was enough to invoke
a house of horrors that
apparently went unno
ticed for years in Califor
nia and Texas until Sun
day, when a 17-year-old
girl managed to escape
and call 911.
The girl and her sib
lings had plotted the
escape for two years,
Hestrin said. Another girl
who escaped out a win
dow with the teen turned
back out of fear.
Hestrin did not say
what finally triggered the
girl to act.
When deputies arrived
at the house Sunday in
Perris, about 60 miles
southeast of Los Angeles,
they were shocked by
what they found.
The children’s malnutri
tion was so severe that it
was consistent with mus
cle wasting and had led to
cognitive impairment and
nerve damage, Hestrin
said. The oldest child,

Louise Anna Turpin, left, with her attorney Jeff Moore, and her husband David Allen Turpin, second
from right, appears in court for their arraignment in Riverside, Calif., on Thursday. Prosecutors
filed 12 counts of torture, seven counts of dependent adult abuse, six counts of child abuse and 12
counts of false imprisonment against each of the Turpins. Authorities say the abuse left the children
malnourished, undersized and with cognitive impairments.
weighed 82 pounds.
Some of the 13 children
had been isolated so long
they did not know what a
police officer was.

The parents have been

each. They pleaded not
guilty Thursday at their
first court appearance. If
convicted of all charges,
they could be sentenced
onment charges do not
include the 2-year-old.
The charges date to
2010, when the couple
moved to Riverside
County from outside
Fort Worth, Texas,
where the abuse began,
to life in prison.
David Turpin’s father,
James, the grandfather to
the children, said from his
home in Princeton, West
Virginia, that he didn’t
believe the reports about
the abuse.
“I’m going to talk with
the children, find out the
real story on this as soon
as I can get a call through
to them,” James Turpin
told The Associated
Press.
The abuse began with
the children being tied
to beds with ropes and
then hog-tied, Hestrin
said. When one child was
able to wriggle free, the
couple began restraining
them with chains and
padlocks — for up weeks
or months at a time, Hes
trin said.
On Sunday, three chil
dren had been shackled to
beds, though the parents
freed two of them when
officers knocked on the
door, Hestrin said. Depu
ties found a 22-year-old
still chained to a bed.

Big weekend for area grapplers

This weekend will be a biggie for most of the high school wrestling programs in the Ohio Valley Publishing area. Point Pleasant, River Valley and Wahama will be
competing at the 2018 WSAZ Invitational held Friday and Saturday at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, while Gallia Academy, Meigs and Eastern will be
competing on Saturday at the 2018 John Deno Invitational held at Athens High School. Pictured above is Meigs junior David Robson as he applies a hold to an opponent
at the 2017 Skyline Bowling Invitational held Dec. 30, 2017, at Gallia Academy High School in Centenary, Ohio.
LeBron, Cavs trying to thaw
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio
(AP) — With sweat streaking down his face and into his
bushy beard, LeBron James
was not in a playful mood following practice.
The cold stare. The pursed
lips. The focus.
This is no time for frivolity.
With Cleveland in the midst
of its annual January deep
freeze, a troubling stretch
where losing multiplies quickly
into rumors, drama and even
more distractions for the NBA’s
most scrutinized superstar and
his teammates, the Cavaliers
are being questioned again.
And for good reason.
While they played well for
more than three quarters in a
loss — their ninth in 12 games
— on Monday night to the
defending champion Golden
State Warriors, James found
little to be encouraged about.
“You don’t win championships … losing a game is not
Jim Mone | AP file
Cleveland Cavaliers players, from left, LeBron James, Isaiah Thomas, Kevin Love,
JR Smith and Jae Crowder and the rest of the team are going through their annual
January freeze. It’s taking them longer to thaw this year, raising questions about
whether they’re still the best team in the Eastern Conference or good enough to
make their fourth straight NBA Finals.
encouraging at all,” he said. “I
liked the way we played in the
first half. I liked the way we
competed. But you get encouraged when you come out here
and work when there ain’t
nobody watching. I’m more
encouraged on what we did
today than I am in the game
the other day.”
The Cavs remain a work in
progress, an incomplete picture.
Maybe even a damaged one.
Their aging roster, defensive deficiencies, injuries,
Isaiah Thomas’ slow-and-stilluncertain comeback from a hip
injury and an inability to beat
the league’s elite teams have
conjoined to raise doubts about
whether the Cavs are still the
best team in the Eastern Conference or one good enough to
reach their fourth straight NBA
Finals.
James, who is having another
MVP-caliber season, didn’t
offer any excuses for the team’s
recent struggles, a stretch he
called a “rough patch.”
The three-time champion
conceded that this season has
been difficult.
“It’s been very challenging
just from the simple fact of how
many guys have been in and
out,” he said. “This is a difficult year for our team. Seems

New coach pushing Buckeyes to unexpected heights
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio
State’s elimination from the Big Ten
tournament by lowly Rutgers last March
showed the depths to which Buckeyes
basketball had fallen in a just few short
seasons.
First-year coach Chris Holtmann
showed his players video cuts of that
debacle before Sunday’s game, the first
against the Scarlet Knights since the tournament. Ohio State then went out and
routed Rutgers 68-46 .
On Monday the Buckeyes cracked the
AP Top 25 poll for the first time in nearly
three years. On Wednesday night they
beat Northwestern to improve to 7-0 in
the Big Ten — matching the number of
conference wins they had all of last season.
Ohio State, 16-4 overall, is tied for first
place in the conference with No. 3 Purdue
and has forced its way into the NCAA
Tournament conversation. Holtmann is
the first coach in 95 years to win his first
seven Big Ten games.
Who would have thought?
The Buckeyes missed the tournament
for the second straight season last year.
The loss of three of the top four scorers,
transfers and a thin recruiting class led
to a gloomy forecast for 2017-18. Thad
Matta , who oversaw the rebuilding of
Ohio State basketball in his 13 seasons,
was fired and Holtmann, who had success
at Butler, was brought in.
Holtmann managed to pull some pieces
together but Ohio State lacked depth,
especially at point guard. The coach did
his best in the preseason to keep expectations low for what looked like another lost
season.
He’s still trying to temper expectations,
but the Buckeyes haven’t yet taken the
lumps that he or anybody else were sure
would come.
“Any coach that, through a third of the
season, went undefeated would have to
say they’re surprised,” he said. “I just
think fortunately our team in general has
played well and our really good players
have led the way with that, both at home
and on the road.”
None of those players has been better
than Keita Bates-Diop , who missed all of
the Big Ten schedule last season with a
left leg injury that required insertion of a
steel rod in his shin. He didn’t play again
after Jan. 5 and not much went right for
the Buckeyes after that.
Averaging 19.8 points per game, the
6-foot-7 forward has earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors for the past two
weeks in a row.
Jae’Sean Tate, last year’s leading scorer,
again is a major contributor. Point guard
C.J. Jackson is second on the team in
scoring, averaging 13.3 points per game.
Freshman Kaleb Wesson, 6-foot-9 and 270
pounds, is providing needed bulk inside
while averaging 11.2 points per game. His
brother Andre, a sophomore, missed all of
the summer and the first few weeks of fall
practice with an illness but is contributing again.
Center Micah Potter, slowed by ankle
injury this season, stepped up with a
season-high 13 points on Wednesday as
Northwestern applied pressure on BatesDiop and Tate.
And Andrew Dakich, a graduate transfer who was a bit player for three years
at Michigan, has been a bulldog at guard.
His career high 11 points against Maryland Jan. 11 included three 3-pointers at
the end of the first half that helped propel
the Buckeyes to a 91-69 blowout. He is 12
of 18 for the season from 3-point range.
Oregon athletic director
Rob Mullens will become
the new chairman of the
College Football Playoff
selection committee
starting next season, and
three new Power Five
ADs will join the 13-member panel.
Mullens will be the
third chairman, replacing Texas Tech AD Kirby
Hocutt, who has led the
committee the last two
seasons.
Hocutt replaced Jeff
Long, who held the position for the first two
seasons of the playoff. A
chairman is chosen each
season. Mullens will be
entering his third season
on the committee.
“He is an experienced
committee member,
extremely passionate
about college football,
detail-oriented and brings
a high level of energy
that is perfectly suited to
chairing the committee,”
College Football Playoff
executive director Bill

those whose terms ended.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA Division I
Council has approved a measure to move up the start
date of men’s basketball games.
Instead of starting Nov. 9 games can now be played
as early as Nov. 6. The hope is an earlier date gives
teams more flexibility to take off additional around
Christmas.
The Council also agreed to simplify practice starting dates by allowing the men’s and women’s teams to
start at the same time.
Preseason football practices also are changing.
Teams can now count 29 days from their first game
to determine the earlier preseason practice date. And
schools will not be required to give players a day off
during preseason workouts — until classes start or
one week before the season opener.
Yates’ lifetime dedication to
NASCAR to be honored
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It took four times on
the ballot for Robert Yates to be elected to NASCAR’s
Hall of Fame. When he finally received enough votes,
the championship winning car owner and engine
builder burst into tears.
Yates was in a grueling fight with liver cancer when
he was elected last May following a vote at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. When his name was announced,
he was mobbed by supporters thrilled for another
tribute for one of NASCAR’s stalwarts.
Yates died five months later at the age of 74, and his
family will represent him Friday night as he’s posthumously inducted Friday night into the NASCAR Hall
of Fame along with Red Byron, Ray Evernham, Ron
Hornaday Jr. and Ken Squier.
NCAA says loss in Orange
Bowl counts as a home loss
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — After further
review, Miami’s home winning streak is over.
The NCAA says that Miami’s loss to Wisconsin in
the Orange Bowl counts as a home loss for the Hurricanes. The game was played at Hard Rock Stadium,
which has been Miami’s home field for a decade.
Miami originally listed the game as a neutral-site
contest. The Hurricanes were 7-0 at home in the regular season.
If there was a silver lining, it’s this: The Orange
Bowl crowd also counts as home attendance for
Miami, and pushed the Hurricanes’ total for the season at home to 469,454. That’s a program record, topping the 417,233 in the 2002 season.

like I say that every year,
but this one has been
even more challenging.
It’s been very challenging
on our team. But we have
to figure it out. At the
end of the day, we have
a game every other day
or every two days just
like everybody else in the
NBA. We have to go out
and play.”
These are fascinating and frustrating days
for the Cavaliers, who
opened the season 5-7,
ripped off 18 wins in 19
games and have gone just
3-9 since Dec. 19, losing
twice in that span to the
Warriors, their rivals in
each of the past three

fourth straight loss,
James said he was
pleased with the team’s
effort.
However, the same
night, some unnamed
Cleveland players told
several media outlets
privately that there was
growing concern that the
Cavs’ problems might not
be fixable.
Coach Tyronn Lue was
aware of the reports, and
joked that the comments
didn’t come from any
players he knows.
“I’ve seen where people
said sources say and I
look down the roster and
I don’t see no guy named
sources,” Lue said. “We’re
going to be fine. The guys
are putting in the work.
The last couple of games
have been very positive
even though we lost, so
things are going to be
fine.”
