FOR THE RECORD
Meigs County
Prosecutor’s Office
On July 15, Meigs
County Prosecuting
Attorney James K. Stanley traveled to the Scioto
County Courthouse in
Portsmouth, Ohio to
argue before the Ohio
Fourth District Court of
Appeals in State v. Sean
Mitchell.
According to a release
from Stanley, in 2013,
Mitchell was convicted
of Aggravated Robbery,
Robbery, Kidnapping,
and Theft for an incident
that occurred at a local
bank in 2009. From late
2009 through June 2013,
Mitchell was incarcerated
in Mississippi. In March
2019, Mitchell ﬁled a
Motion to Vacate or Set
Aside Judgment with
the Meigs County Court
of Common Pleas. After
hearing argument, Judge
Linda R. Warner denied
that motion in June 2020.
Mitchell appealed and
argued that the trial
court committed error by
not dismissing the case
because his constitutional
rights under the Extradition Clause of the United
States Constitution and
his speedy trial rights
under Ohio law were violated.
“Stanley argued that
Mitchell was not afforded
any rights under the
Extradition Clause of the
United States Constitution as the right to extradite was Ohio’s right, not
Mitchell’s right. Stanley
further argued that to
the extent the Extradition Clause did afford
Mitchell rights, Mississippi, not Ohio, would
have been the State
to have violated those
rights. Mississippi is
one of only two states in
the country who is not a
member of the Interstate
Agreement on Detainers, and as such, has no
obligation to return a
fugitive to a requesting
state, and likewise, the
requesting state has no
authority to compel Mississippi to extradite the
fugitive. Ohio ﬁled all the
appropriate paperwork
to extradite Mitchell in
a timely manner, however, Mississippi did not
cooperate for nearly four
years. Stanley argued that
speedy trial time did not
begin to run until Mitchell was returned to Ohio
in June 2013, and since
he entered a guilty plea
seventy-seven days later,
his statutory right to a
speedy trial was not violated. Stanley requested
that the Court of Appeals
deny Mitchell relief and
to afﬁrm the judgment of
the trial court,” stated the
release.
The Court of Appeals
will issue a written
decision in the coming
months.

Festival marks
John Glenn’s
100th birthday
NEW CONCORD,
Ohio (AP) — John
Glenn has been honored
over the weekend with
a three-day festival in
Ohio marking what
would have been the
history-making astronaut
and U.S. senator’s 100th
birthday.
Glenn, who died
in 2016, was the ﬁrst
American to orbit Earth,
making him a national
hero in 1962. Before
that, he served as a
military ﬁghter pilot in
World War II and the
Korean War and set
a transcontinental air
speed record. In 1998, he
became the oldest person
ever to go into space at
77. He spent 24 years as
a Democrat in the U.S.
Senate.
The John Glenn
Centennial Celebration
Friday to Sunday was a
collaboration between
Cambridge, where Glenn
was born on July 18,
1921, and nearby New
Concord, where he grew
up and met his late wife,
Annie, who died last
year at 100 of complications from COVID-19.
Lyn Glenn, the late
senator’s daughter,
watched parade ﬂoats
go by Saturday from
the front porch of her
father’s boyhood home,
a place she felt at home,
too.
“We moved around a
lot as a family, and so

they always brought us
back here for holidays
because this is the most
consistent place in my
life,” she told the Zanesville Times Recorder.
“Coming back here is so
familiar, and it’s so personal as well.”
The paper reports that
one admirer after the
other approached Lyn
Glenn throughout the
day to share their memories, and they included
Glenn Schuck, a reporter
from New York City
named for her father a
few years after his orbit
of the planet.
Edward and Jill Schuck
wrote to John Glenn letting him know they’d be
naming their son after
him, not expecting a
response. Instead, they
got a letter from NASA
with photos signed by
Glenn for his namesake
in New Jersey and a letter to the boy’s parents
saying he was honored
by their gesture.
Those correspondences would continue
throughout Schuck’s
childhood. In 1969, when
Schuck was 5, Neil Armstrong walked the moon.
John Glenn made sure
to have signed photos
sent to Schuck to commemorate the historic
occasion.
“I would get stuff from
him like all the time in
the mail without even
asking,” Schuck said.

Senator: Infrastructure bill loses IRS provision
WASHINGTON
(AP) — A proposal to
strengthen IRS enforcement to crack down on
tax scofﬂaws and help
fund a nearly $1 trillion
bipartisan infrastructure
spending bill is ofﬁcially
off the table, Republican
Sen. Rob Portman said
Sunday.
Portman, who is
involved in negotiating
the bill, cited “pushback”
from fellow Republican
lawmakers who dislike
the idea of expanding
the reach of the IRS,
which they have accused

over the years of unfairly
targeting conservatives.
He said another reason
the IRS provision was
shelved is that Democrats
are including a more
robust enforcement plan
in a separate $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill
that they intend to pass
through the Senate using
special budget rules and
without Republican votes.
“That created quite
a problem because the
general agreement is that
this is the bipartisan,
negotiated infrastructure
package and that we will

stick with that,” the Ohio
senator said on CNN’s
“State of the Union.”
Portman’s announcement that the IRS provision had been removed
underscores the difﬁculty facing the bipartisan
group of Republican and
Democratic senators in
ﬁnding mutually agreeable ways to pay for billions of dollars of new
spending their White
House-backed plan calls
for.
Portman said meetings
were planned Sunday to
discuss alternatives to the

IRS provision, which had
been estimated to bring
in an estimated $100
billion over 10 years.
The proposal to go after
taxpayers who skip out
on income taxes initially
had potential bipartisan appeal, but outside
groups came forward to
lambaste it as a way to
enable the IRS to snoop
around Americans’ personal ﬁnances.
IRS Commissioner
Charles Rettig said at a
congressional hearing in
April that the national
gap between federal

taxes owed and actually
collected is about $1 trillion annually, more than
double what ofﬁcial government estimates have
previously indicated.
Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer is pressuring lawmakers to reach
agreement this week on
the pair of massive domestic spending measures,
signaling Democrats’
desire to push ahead
aggressively on President
Joe Biden’s multitrilliondollar agenda.
Schumer, D-N.Y., said
last week that he is sched-

A year out, $60M bribery scandal still felt
By Mark Gillispie and Julie
Carr Smyth
Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — The arrests one
year ago Wednesday of
then-Ohio House Speaker
Larry Householder and
four associates in connection with an alleged $60
million bribery scheme
have rocked business and
politics across the state,
and events over the last
year suggest a federal
probe’s tentacles only
continue to grow.

FirstEnergy has undergone a reckoning since
DeVillers’ announcement.
Company ofﬁcials say
FirstEnergy is cooperating with investigations
by the Justice Department, U.S. Securities and

and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
Company ofﬁcials also
have said FirstEnergy has
spoken with federal prosecutors about a deferred
prosecution agreement.
Six top executives have
been ﬁred, including CEO
Chuck Jones.
The company faces two
sets of consolidated lawsuits by shareholders, one
that seeks a court compelling the company’s board
of directors to implement
reforms. The other set of
lawsuits claims the company defrauded investors.
FirstEnergy’s CEO and
President Steven Strah,
who succeeded Jones,
has said the company has
made signiﬁcant reforms
in the last year.

Collin Morikawa a
double major winner,
looking for more
By Doug Ferguson
AP Golf Writer

In a year of ﬁrsts in the majors, Collin Morikawa
might have topped them all.
His performance over four days at the British Open was unlike anything seen at Royal St.
George’s, even in such ideal weather for the English coast.
In his ﬁrst real test of links golf, Morikawa
didn’t make a bogey over his ﬁnal 31 holes, blowing past mistake-prone Louis Oosthuizen and
never ﬂinching as Jordan Spieth made one last
charge late Sunday afternoon.
Morikawa made three straight birdies at the
turn to build a four-shot lead. He made a 20-foot
birdie on the 14th when Spieth had closed to
within one. He saved par with a 10-foot putt on
the next hole for breathing room.
He played with the conﬁdence of a major champion, which he is from his PGA Championship
title last year. He showed the experience of a veteran. That part is up for debate.
“When you make history — and I’m 24 years old
— it’s hard to grasp,” Morikawa said.
The silver claret jug in his possession as he
stood on the 18th green, Morikawa ﬁrst paid tribute to Matthias Schmid of Germany, who won the
silver medal as low amateur.
“It feels like literally two years ago I was an amateur,” Morikawa told him.
That is entirely literal.
Two years ago, the ink was barely dry on his
diploma from Cal. In the eight majors Morikawa
has played since then, he has won two of them.
The last player to win two professional majors in
so few attempts was Bobby Jones nearly a century
ago.
“It’s so hard to look back at the two short years
that I have been a pro and see what I’ve done
because I want more,” he said. “I enjoy these
moments and I love it, and I want to teach myself
to embrace it a little more.”
The major season began with Hideki Matsuyama becoming the ﬁrst Japanese player to win
the Masters. Phil Mickelson became the ﬁrst player at age 50 to win a major at the PGA Championship. No one had ever birdied the last two holes at
the U.S. Open to win by one shot until Jon Rahm
at Torrey Pines.
And then along came Morikawa, as pure an iron
player as there is in the game today, making his
own brand of history. He is the ﬁrst to win two
majors that he played for the ﬁrst time.
Just under a year ago in his ﬁrst time playing
the only major restricted to pros, he won the PGA
Championship at Harding Park by boldly hitting
driver on the 16th hole for a 7-foot eagle. And
then he won the British Open in his debut with
a 4-under 66 to ﬁnish at 265, the second-lowest
score in the history of golf’s oldest major.
“He’s got the potential and the game, and the
head, to be able to manage any kind of bumps in
the road,” Spieth said.
Spieth knows all about bumps. When he won
the Open at Royal Birkdale in 2017, he had three
legs of the career Grand Slam at age 23. And then
he didn’t win again for nearly four years, having to
rebuild his swing and his conﬁdence.
It’s not all the way back, but it’s close. Spieth

I embraced it all.”
Schottenheimer hired
Cowher as an assistant in
Cleveland in 1985 and the
two headed west to Kansas City in 1989. Cowher
spent two years as the
defensive coordinator for
the Chiefs, and when the
Steelers started exploring
who would lead them into
the post-Noll era, Schottenheimer gave Cowher a
rousing endorsement.
“Even though he was
that young, Marty felt
really good about him
being ready to go,”
Rooney said.
And he was. Cowher’s
impact on the Steelers
was immediate. They
made the playoffs in each
of his ﬁrst six seasons,
reaching the 1996 Super
Bowl before falling to the
Dallas Cowboys.
Yet the standards for
success in Pittsburgh
aren’t what they are elsewhere. The Steelers lost
the AFC championship at
home in 1994 and 1997.
A 22-26 stretch around
the turn of the millennium eroded conﬁdence
among the team’s ardent
fan base.
Cowher’s bosses, however, were not concerned.
Instead, they doubled
down, offering him a contract extension.
“I can honestly say we
never thought hard about
letting him go at that
point,” Rooney said. “It
was a matter of just feeling like we would turn
the corner and we’d work
hard to get there to turn
the corner.”
The Steelers returned
to the playoffs in 2001

but found themselves
repeating a familiar pattern. They dropped AFC
championship games
to Tom Brady and the
New England Patriots in
2001 and 2004. Cowher
remained upbeat, relying
on the tenets that propelled him from Crafton,
Pennsylvania to the top of
his profession.
“We were going to
be tough,” he said. “We
were not going to beat
ourselves. We’re going to
come to work with our
lunch pail every day and
ﬁnd a way to get it done.”
Finally, in 2005 they
did. Pittsburgh entered
the playoffs as the sixth
seed. The Steelers drilled
division rival Cincinnati
in the ﬁrst round, then
used Ben Roethlisberger’s
shoestring tackle of Colts
defensive back Nick Harper to hold off Peyton Manning and Indianapolis.
They dropped top-seeded
Denver the following week
to reach the franchise’s
sixth Super Bowl.
Two weeks later,
Cowher — buoyed by a
wide-receiver option pass
from Antwaan Randle
El to Hines Ward touchdown pass, the kind of
risky call emblematic of
Cowher’s go-for-broke
style — raised his arms
triumphantly following
a 21-10 win over Seattle
that returned the Steelers
to the top.
A year later, however,
he was done at age 49.
Cowher retired following the 2006 season to
spend more time with his
wife Kaye and their three
daughters.

From page 4

will think back to the
bogey-bogey ﬁnish on
Saturday when he was in
position to make birdie
on both holes that kept
him out of the ﬁnal group
and kept him chasing.
He played the ﬁnal
12 holes in 6 under. It
looked like it might be
enough, except that he
needed a little help from
Morikawa.
“I needed a break, and
I didn’t get it from him,”
Spieth said.
Oosthuizen provided
plenty of them to Morikawa, notably the par-5
seventh hole, the easiest

of the ﬁnal round. With
an iron from the fairway
for his second shot, Oosthuizen went bunker-tobunker and made bogey,
going from a tie for the
lead to two shots behind
when Morikawa made
birdie.
Morikawa birdied the
next two holes and he
was on his way.
There were cheers from
30,000-plus fans for Rahm
running off four straight
birdies in a late bid, for
Spieth making four birdies in a six-hole stretch.
That’s what Morikawa
didn’t face at Harding
Park, the ﬁrst major with
no spectators. Would that
have made a difference?
Apparently not.
