At the regularly scheduled meeting on Monday evening Council Member Shawn Rice announced he was stepping down from council. Rice commented, “I’d like to thank the citizens for trusting me and for their support in making decisions for them in this town, the village of Middleport, but as of tonight I am stepping down from council…thanks for the opportunity, its been nice working with everybody. I wish you all the best.” Members of the council and Mayor Sandy Iannarelli thanked Rice for his time and work done on council. Solicitor Rick Hedges and Fiscal Officer Sue Baker discussed with council the procedure of appointing a new council member. The council may appoint a new member within the first 30 days after a member’s resignation; however, after 30 days the mayor must appoint a new member. In other business, Village Administrator Joe Woodall requested a price change for limestone and 304 mix. The council approved to set the price of limestone at $35 per ton and 304 mix at $30 per ton. Woodall suggested changes to public works employees vacation standards in the employee handbook. He proposed every public works employee have two days off work for Christmas, rather than having their birthday off work. He COLUMBUS — A state audit of the Village of Rutland discovered checks written by a former mayor during 2016 that were reportedly unsupported and paid out of the wrong account, according to a news release from the State Auditor’s Office. The audit released today holds former Mayor April Burke responsible for seven checks totaling $645 that reportedly lacked supporting documentation and evidence of approval from village council. According to Burke’s check register, five of the payments were $100 Christmas bonuses she issued to employees in December 2016. Burke, who resigned this past December, wrote the other two checks to automotive repair shops and listed “tow for traffic stop” as the reason for both payments, according to the State Auditor’s Office. Without supporting documentation, such as an invoice, auditors could not determine whether the payments served a proper public purpose. Auditors issued a $645 finding for recovery against Burke. According to the State Auditor’s Office, the seven checks were among a total of 15 that Burke reportedly improperly paid from the mayor’s court checking account when she should have made the payments from the general fund. Auditors adjusted the general fund balance to offset the errors. The 15 checks totaled $2,273. In total, the audit report showed 13 findings from the 2015 and 2016 audits. Several of the findings were for noncompliance and/or material weakness regarding the keeping of records, receipt books and other documents by village officials. Records listed as missing or incomplete include:Pre-numbered duplicate receipt books were used during 2016 and 2015. However, all pre-numbered duplicate receipt books could not be located and presented for audit. Management indicated these books may have been stolen. The Village could not provide minutes for the Dec. 14, 2016 council meeting. Purchase orders were not on file for 61 percent of those tested for 2016.

Gheen stated one of the biggest thing he and staff are asked is “are you prepared,” and while drills are conduct- ed on a regular basis for lockdowns and fires, the recent training is a step toward being more prepared. While you cannot practice every scenario, the training put staff through several situations which they could encounter if an active shooter or other violent intruder were in the building. “No one should feel good about the prospect of an active shooter situation, but this should make you better prepared,” said Francis. He added that the information learned through the ALICE Training can be implemented in places other than schools, such as shopping malls or churches. Francis emphasized that he does not want Erin Perkins | OVP Shawn Rice, left, informs the Middleport Council of his resignation and says his goodbyes. to council she wrote a letter to Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley regarding amendments to the Salisbury Fire Protection Contract. teachers and students to have the mindset of “all you can do is sit and wait to die.” Turning out the lights, locking the door and sitting in the corner will not protect you, added Francis. By completing the training and drills, the staff is better prepared and trained than most coming into the building would be, said Francis. Another component of the ALICE Training is that teachers and staff are equipped with the information to make the decision on what is best for them and their students without having to wait on instructions that may or may not come. One example is that someone in the office could announce a shooter in a specific part of the building. A teacher on the opposite end of the building would then have the knowledge to decide if it is best to evacuate or to lockdown based on the location given. ALICE Training began after the shooting at Columbine High School, with a law enforcement officer and a teacher deciding that there had to be a better way than the lockdown. Gheen stated that the training was an important first layer of school safety, with the program eventually taught to the students so that they will know how to respond as well. “We want to be as proactive as possible,” said Gheen. “If you see something, say something,” concluded Gheen. � Natural gas is an extremely safe form of energy and is transported to industrial, commercial and residential customers by buried pipelines.

The famed evangelist died at his home in North Carolina on Wednesday morning at the age of 99. In his career spanning nearly 70 years, he spoke to more than 215 Neil J. million people in 185 countries and Young Contributing territories around the world, according to the Billy Graham Evangelistic columnist Assn., converting millions of them to evangelical Christianity. But when he came to Los Angeles in September 1949, it was hard to imagine he would ever have such influence. Only 30 years old, the handsome Southern Baptist preacher raised on a dairy farm in North Carolina was already thinking about leaving the ministry after a series of disappointing revivals in other cities. Contemplating retirement from the mission he had just begun, Graham hid away for a period of prayer and reflection in the San Bernardino Mountains. (Graham would use Southern California as a place for spiritual retreat throughout his life.) When he descended some time later, he had recommitted to his ministry. He was also met by a group of Los Angeles businessmen who were ready to sponsor his next crusade in their city. Graham got to work. His team erected an enormous tent stretched across a parking lot at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Hill Street. Dubbed the Canvas Cathedral, the tent would host more than 350,000 Californians who crammed nightly into the tight rows of folding chairs to hear the energetic preacher’s fiery message. In a number of ways, Los Angeles provided the perfect setting for Graham’s message. Its image as the hedonistic playground of Hollywood’s elite offered an easy target for Graham’s moral warnings. “If Sodom and Gomorrah could not get away with sin,” Graham thundered, “neither can Los Angeles!” But it was also a city of conservative Christians: Los Angeles was home to thousands of relocated Baptist and fundamentalist Midwesterners who had fled the Dust Bowl. In the autumn of 1949, they filled Graham’s tent each night. Although the preacher originally planned the Los Angeles Crusade to last only three weeks, he extended his engagement an additional five weeks to accommodate demand. Three thousand of those in attendance were “born again,” including a bevy of movie stars and Louis Zamperini, the Olympic track star who had survived his torturous imprisonment in a Japanese war camp during World War II, but was struggling with alcohol and depression. “Billy Graham helped save me,” Zamperini would later recall. Graham’s career also received new life. The city’s press reported constantly on the events inside the Canvas Cathedral, puzzled by the throngs who gathered nightly to hear him. The news spread quickly. When William Randolph Hearst learned of the many celebrities, including Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, who were answering Graham’s altar call, he sent a two-word telegram to the editor of every newspaper he owned. “Puff Graham,” the note read. Graham’s face was soon plastered on front pages across the country. As Graham preached his last sermon in Los Angeles that autumn, he seemed to sense how profoundly the city had transformed his ministry and altered his destiny. “The revival that started here won’t end with the folding of this tent,” he said. “This is not it yet, but it will come.” He entered Los Angeles a virtual unknown, and he left it almost a household name. His team quickly dispatched the canvas tent for packed stadiums in major cities around the world. Perhaps out of a sense of indebtedness to the city or a worry that its residents particularly needed to hear the gospel — or both — Graham returned six more times to Los Angeles over his career, speaking to more than 2.5 million people in total. (He also led numerous other revivals across Southern California through the years). Graham’s 1963 crusade at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum set attendance records. On the last afternoon of the three-week revival, 134,254 people crowded in to hear Graham’s sermon, the largest crowd ever assembled at that venue. Some of Hollywood’s biggest names were constant figures at Graham’s Los Angeles revivals, just as they had been a feature at the first crusade in 1949. But for all his fame, Graham’s message remained the same: Individuals need to repent of their sins and accept God’s free gift of eternal life through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Graham acknowledged how vital Los Angeles had been to his trajectory. In his autobiography, “Just as I Am,” he titled his chapter on the 1949 Los Angeles crusade “Watershed.” Two months in Los Angeles changed everything, both for him and the world he made. Neil J. Young is author of “We Gather Together: The Religious Right and the Problem of Interfaith Politics.” He co-hosts the history podcast Past Present. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times. THEIR VIEW Celebrating the month of February We all look forward to the month of February. It is the month before spring and we can’t Nellie wait, there’s Taylor Contributing so many great things columnist happening and there’s things that irritate us, for instance on President’s Day, the only thing we look forward to is the furniture sales. I’m not knocking furniture sales but if it’s Presidents Day there ought to be something that hon- ors presidents. We honor this month President Barack Obama because it’s Black History Month and he is our first black president. Then it would follow that we should honor the American people for keeping with their Constitution, providing the justice for all men are created equal and voting in a qualified black man for president. We really do look forward to reading about our black history and finding what African Americans have done that is missing from the history books. Let’s mention a few of those we need to remember like Lewis Latimer, who created a tiny filament for the electric light; Benjamin Banneker who created a clock; Phillip Reed and Pierre L’Enfant helped design the Capitol; White House doctor Daniel Hale Williams performed one of the first open heart surgeries; doctor Charles Drew showed the world how to get and preserve plasma; Garrett Morgan designed and invented the traffic light; Jan Matzeliger created soles for shoes; Frederick Douglass and Thomas Fuller taught themselves and others how to read, write and calculate math. Last but best of all we celebrate love in the month of February, it is best because we cannot live without love. These are my thoughts in the month of February, what are yours?

The Jewish holiday Purim begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History On Feb. 28, 1993, a gun battle erupted at a religious compound near Waco, Texas, when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh on weapons charges; four agents and six Davidians were killed as a 51-day standoff began. On this date In 1784, John Wesley, the co-founder of Methodism, chartered the first Methodist Church in the United States in Leesburg, Virginia. In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded as the ship was sailing on the Potomac River, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others.

William Smith was See DEVILS | 7 Big Ten takes Midwest hoops show to Big Apple MADISON, Wis. (AP) — What an odd year in the Big Ten. Michigan State looks Final Four-worthy but faces off-court questions. Wisconsin looks better of late but still faces a losing record. And Nebraska — Nebraska! — is up. It’s time to take this Midwest hoops show back on the road again. The Big Ten Tournament begins Wednesday, one week earlier than usual at a rather unusual venue: Madison Square Garden in New York. While well outside of the league’s predominantlyMidwest footprint, the Garden can’t be beat as one of the traditional hubs of college basketball. No better place for a potential NCAA bubble team like Nebraska to make a stand. The Cornhuskers had a school-record 13 conference wins to bust its reputation as a lower-division dweller. “Personally I think so,” guard Anton Gill said when asked after a 76-64 win Sunday over Penn State if Nebraska had done enough to make the NCAAs. “But we’re not going down to New York just to play around. We want to win that, too. We feel like we have the best team in the Big Ten.” That title actually belongs to Michigan State. Coach Tom Izzo’s team won the conference crown outright and the top seed in the Big Ten tourney by grinding out a 68-63 win at Wisconsin in a matchup of the last two team conference teams to make the Final Four (2015). Each school has had had challenging seasons for different reasons. The young Badgers endured growing pains and an uncharacteristic losing season. But there are signs that the inexperienced players surrounding Ethan Happ are finally getting it after winning four of five games before ending the regular season with a close loss to Michigan State. In the locker room, guard Brad Davison had a message for his fellow Badgers after the freshman scored a career-high 30 points. “I just told them, ‘I’d rather beat the next week anyway,’” Davison said, referring to the Big Ten tourney. “It’s not college football. It’s college basketball, where the regular season is kind of washed away.” Michigan State’s most pressing issues have come off the court. Questions have swirled over how the school handled allegations against disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar, leading to broader questions See HOOPS | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Wednesday, Feb. 28 Boys Basketball (2) Southern vs (7) South Webster at Meigs HS, 6:15 Thursday, March 1 Boys Basketball (3) Gallia Academy vs (2) Fairfield Union at Convo, 8 p.m. Rio Grande Athletics Track and Field at NAIA Indoor National Championships, 1 p.m. Friday, March 2 Wrestling D-3 districts (RVHS) at Troy HS, 3 p.m. D-2 districts (GAHS) at Claymont HS, 4 p.m. D-3 districts (EHS) at Heath HS, 5 p.m. Rio Grande Athletics Track and Field at NAIA Indoor National Championships, 11 a.m. Baseball vs Ohio Christian, 2 p.m. Softball at Huntington (IN), 2 p.m. Saturday, March 3 Wrestling D-2 districts (GAHS) at Claymont HS, 9 a.m. D-3 districts (EHS) at Heath HS, 9 a.m. D-3 districts (RVHS) at Troy HS, 9 a.m. Rio Grande Athletics Track and Field at NAIA Indoor National Championships, 11 a.m. Baseball vs Ohio Christian, noon Softball at Taylor (IN), 1 p.m. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports River Valley junior Joseph Burns locks in a hold on an opponent during a 120-pound match at the 2017 Skyline Bowling Wrestling Invitational held Dec. 30, 2017, at Gallia Academy High School in Centenary, Ohio. 7 advance out of D-3 sectionals Eastern grapplers land program’s first 2 district qualifiers and junior Dillon Aeiker became the first EHS grapplers to get out of the sectional tournament after each placed fourth in their respective weight classes.

Following a Yahoo Sports report last week, Michigan State said its compliance office discovered that Bridges’ family had dinner with an agent last winter without his knowledge, committing an NCAA violation. The school said the finding Friday made Bridges ineligible, leading it to apply for reinstatement, which was granted the next day by the NCAA. Questions are likely to come up again in New York. On the court, the Spartans have pressed on and head into the postseason with a 28-3 record, the best start in school history. “Handling the adversity that they’ve handled I think is going to make them better men for the next 60 years,” Izzo said. Other story lines and things to watch at the Big Ten Tournament: Sparty’s stars Bridges draws the most attention from opposing defenses, while Nick Ward and Jaren Jackson Jr. provide heft up front. But in the backcourt, Cassius Winston offers balance with 3-point marksmanship. He’s 16 of 20 from behind the arc over his last four games, including a 6-of-6 effort against Wisconsin. Sectionals Buckeyes are back Chris Holtmann’s first season coaching at Ohio State was a hit after the Buckeyes exceeded preseason expectations to finish 15-3 in the league to get the second seed in the tournament. Forward Keita Bates-Diop (19.2 points, 8.9 rebounds) won league player of the year honors. Boilers backup A three-game losing streak in mid-February ended Purdue’s chances to win the Big Ten. But the Boilermakers have steadied themselves with three straight wins headed into the conference tourney. They might have an ideal mix to do postseason damage with tested seniors and balanced scoring. What happened? Northwestern took a step back one year after making the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The injury-plagued Wildcats (15-16) likely need to win the conference tourney to return to the NCAAs. Wolverine Ws Looking for a contender outside of the top four?
