County Prosecutor Colleen
Williams spent her time during law school interning for
the Hamilton County Public
Defenders office, which
handeled the Municipal

Her first job came in 1996
with Child Support Enforcement as part of the Preble
County prosecutors office.
She later accepted a position in Athens County before
eventually moving to Meigs

prosecutor in 2009.
Now in her second term,

the “Seven Seas,” seven colors of the

for the New Haven and Community
Volunteer Fire Department (NHFD).
The Bend Area department is the
only entity to receive a Robert and
Louise Claflin Foundation grant for
all seven years the foundation has
been in existence. Most recently, the
department used the grant for a set

Police: baby girl found with dead
mother in Ohio unharmed
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Police say a 6-month-old
girl found unharmed with her dead mother has been
reunited with her father in southwestern Ohio.
Middletown police said Wednesday that the baby
was taken Tuesday from her father’s home by the
non-custodial mother. A police statement says Russell apparently went to the father’s Middletown
home Tuesday and persuaded the baby sitter to let
her take Haven Edwards, saying she would bring her
back in a few hours.
Authorities say the father later contacted Russell
and she said she would bring the baby back Tuesday
night but did not. The father reported his daughter
missing early Wednesday.
Dayton police found the mother and child Wednesday morning in Dayton.
Authorities have not confirmed how Russell died
or the exact location where she and her daughter
were found.

“A fireman has to learn

they want to drive an
emergency vehicle, it’s

Stephen Littlepage,
foundation administrator, presented the
latest Claflin grant
to the department,
along with committee

NHFD officers, in

The Mason Volunteer Fire Department

THEIR VIEW
Bernie and America’s socialist mentality
Presidential candidate
Bernie Sanders has
managed to gain a level
of momentum thought
unachievable by a socialist Independent turned
Democrat. He’s running
alongside immediate
rival Hillary Clinton, but
attracting a very different
kind of attention.
Unlike Hillary, Bernie has a more relaxed
demeanor, a “regular
guy” vibe that resonates
with a great many people
who are sick of the mainstream. But, it’s likely he
would attract more supporters were it not for
the most off-putting part
of his campaign.
Sanders claims to be
a “democratic socialist”
which many older Americans see as something of
a contradiction. When
they hear “socialism,”
they probably think communism.
But, the definition of
socialism is more complex than most people
may know. Generally
speaking, socialism can
refer to any one of several economic and political
theories advocating the
collective or government
ownership and operation
of production, economics
and distribution of goods
and services.
The average American
view of socialism probably exists more as a

West Virginia falls to Kansas, 75-65
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) —
West Virginia had an opportunity to make some history at
Kansas.
Instead, the Mountaineers
met the same fate as teams
in the 36 consecutive games
before them.
Perry Ellis had 21 points,
Landen Lucas pulled down a
career-high 16 rebounds and
the sixth-ranked Jayhawks
beat No. 10 West Virginia
75-65 on Tuesday night to
forge a three-way tie atop the
Big 12.
In doing so, the Jayhawks
avoided the first regular-season sweep by a league opponent since 2000-01, and their
first loss to the Mountaineers
in four games at Allen Fieldhouse.
“I think we probably helped
their cause,” West Virginia
coach Bob Huggins said. “It
wasn’t all them. You have to
give us credit for screwing the
game up too.”
Devin Williams had 14
points and nine rebounds,
and Jaysean Paige also had 14
points for the Mountaineers
— though their leading scorer
was just 5 of 16 from the field.

“You can’t miss that many
shots,” Huggins said. “You
can’t miss that many transition opportunities. We had all
kinds of transition opportunities and I don’t think we converted one. We missed some
tips and rebound baskets. You
have to score when you have
opportunities. We didn’t do
that.”
Williams in particular had
a hard time with Lucas, who
had nine points but was ferocious on the defensive end.
Along with his rebounding,
the Kansas junior forward had
a career-high four blocks.
Frank Mason III added
14 points for the Jayhawks
(20-4, 8-3), who handled the
Mountaineers’ pressure well
in avenging a loss lost month
in Morgantown that had them
playing catch-up in the league
race.
Now, they are tied with the
Mountaineers (19-5, 8-3) and
No. 3 Oklahoma (20-3, 8-3)
as they pursue their 12th consecutive championship. All
three teams have seven games
remaining. Kansas is at Oklahoma on Saturday.

far out of it,” Lucas said. “We
handled business, but now
we have a big one Saturday.
We’re just going to get mentally prepared to go down
there and win.”
Unlike their meeting in
Morgantown, the Jayhawks
were the ones who dominated
the first half Tuesday night.
They committed six turnovers
— they had 22 total in the
first game — and shut down
West Virginia at the other
end, which prevented the
Mountaineers from getting
into their pressure defense.
Quickly out-letting the ball
after every defensive rebound,
the Jayhawks rushed up court
before the Mountaineers
could retreat, often with
Mason and Devonte Graham
taking it all the way to the
rim.
Kansas built a 36-24 lead
late in the first half, but Tarik
Phillip threw in a prayer off
his own miss and Paige curled
in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to
slice into the Mountaineers’
deficit.
The Jayhawks used a 13-2
run early in the second half
to take a 53-40 lead, their

biggest of the game. But
the Mountaineers finally
got some traction with their
press, forcing turnovers on
four straight possessions, and
slowly trimmed the lead to
54-50 with about 8 minutes
left in the game.
The decisive point may
have come moments later,
when Phillip was fouled
while driving to the basket.
He whipped an elbow that
clipped Mason in the chin
and was assessed a flagrant
foul. So after Phillip air-balled
his free throw, Mason made
one at the other end to start
another Kansas run.
Ellis finished it off with a
3-pointer that made it 70-58
with 3:21 to go.
Despite a few sloppy
moments down the stretch,
the Jayhawks were able to
coax the final minutes off the
clock to pick up a crucial victory in the Big 12 race.
“I thought we got punked in
Morgantown,” Kansas coach
Bill Self said. “What I take
away from this is we played
more like men than we did
when we went to Morgantown.”

Newton defends
actions, at
Super Bowl
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam
Newton isn’t apologizing for acting
like a “sore loser” after the Super
Bowl.
The league’s MVP has been widely
criticized for walking out of a threeminute press conference after a 24-10
loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday
in which he answered questions with
mostly one- and two-word responses
while sulking in his chair wearing a
black Carolina Panthers hoodie over
his head.
“Show me a good loser and I’ll show
you a loser,” Newton said Tuesday as
players cleaned out their lockers at the
team’s downtown stadium. Newton
said he believes the situation is being
overblown by the media, and added he
doesn’t plan to change how he reacts
to losing just to appease his critics.
“If I offended anybody that’s cool,
but I know who I am and I’m not
about to conform nor bend for anybody’s expectations because yours or
anybody’s expectations would never
exceed mine,” Newton said. The quarterback went on to say, “Who are you
to say that your way is right? I have all
of these people who are condemning
and saying this, that and the third, but
what makes your way right?”
