Food assistance cuts impact Ohio residents
Stephanie Filson

Managing Editor
sfilson@civitasmedia.com

OHIO VALLEY — Food assistance benefits were just reduced
in Ohio. The cut in benefits,
which went into effect on Jan. 1,
2013, varies for each household,
and in addition to hurting poor
families, the cut will also have
a significant impact on grocery
stores in the region and around
the state.
Ohio’s Food Assistance (formerly known as food stamps) program is part of the federal govern-

ment’s Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP),
which is designed to provide
families with about 75 percent of
the food they need each month.
The average monthly benefit for
a household is $284.
Regulations used in determining eligibility for Food Assistance use what is called a
Standard Utility Allowance as
a deduction of income for all
household utility costs. This allowance takes into account the
cost of heating a home, specifically with natural gas, last winter.

“The decrease in Food Assistance benefits this year is
being made due to an overall
decrease in the cost of heating
a home with natural gas in Ohio
and an unusually warm winter
last year,” said Gallia County
Department of Jobs and Family
Services (DJFS) Director Dana
Glassburn. “The formula does
not factor in the fact that many
[Food Assistance] recipients do
not heat their homes with natural gas, or that other monthly
expenses have gone up and cancelled out any savings that fami-

lies may have seen in their heating bills.”
Earlier this year, the Ohio
DJFS asked the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to waive the
reduction in the Standard Utility
Allowance and allow Ohioans to
continue using the previous standard utility allowance. Barring
that, ODJFS asked FNS to cap
the maximum possible reduction
in the standard utility allowance.
FNS did grant either request.
Glassburn said that so far the
benefit reduction appears to be
approximately $10-$20 per month

per recipient. He explained that
using historic numbers basically
balances itself out over time, but
that is little consolation to those
impacted right now.
“On one hand, we have food
banks that can’t keep enough
food stocked to serve everyone
who needs it and then a benefit
reduction is going on at the same
time; and on the other hand, we
have Ohio taxpayers who can’t
afford it,” said Glassburn. “It’s
really about jobs. Jobs are key
— jobs and helping people to become more self-sufficient.”

MEIGS COUNTY — Working together for the good of all
involved was a constant message
brought by Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood as he, along with
Meigs County EMS/911 Director
Doug Lavender and Meigs County Commissioner Randy Smith,
visited the area school districts
last Friday.
With a waiver day scheduled
for Eastern, Meigs and Southern
school districts, Wood, Lavender
and Smith visited each school to

speak with faculty, staff and administrators about having a plan
in place for emergency situations.
Wood also shared his plans for
the Sheriff’s Office as he begins
his term as Sheriff.
Wood stated that his department will be taking part in an
“active shooter” training in the
coming weeks and is working to
implement a plan with the schools
and other departments in the area
to handle any kind of emergency
situation which might occur.
Lavender and Wood both stated
that it is better to train and have
a plan in place and never have to

use it, then to not be prepared.
Wood said on Thursday that he
plans to meet again with each of
the school districts in the coming weeks to discuss emergency
planning and the possibility of a
resource officer for the schools.
A resource officer could provide
a presence for law enforcement in
the schools as well as helping with
training of staff.
Wood stated that getting everyone involved, from students
to parents, staff to community
leaders, plans can be put in place
which could help to better serve
all involved.

RACINE — The Southern Local School District has been
selected by the Ohio Department of Education, Office of Exceptional Children (OEC), for an onsite review of its special
education program.
OEC will hold a public meeting to describe the onsite review process from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013,
in the Southern Elementary Cafetorium, 906 Elm Street in
Racine. In addition, there will be an opportunity for parents,
guardians, and other members of the public to share any
comments with OEC regarding the Southern Local School
district’s special education program.
In the event of snow or inclement weather, the meeting will
be held Feb. 13, 2013, at 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the same location.
According to news release on the upcoming meeting, there
are three ways for people to share your comments with OEC:
provide public comment at the public meeting; provide written comments at the public meeting or mail to Dolores Fantroy, Office for Exceptional Children, Ohio Department of
Education, 25 S. Front St., MS202, Columbus, Ohio 432154183; or fax to Dolores Fantroy at (614)752-1429; or e-mail
to Dolores Fantroy at dolores.fantroy@education.ohio.gov.
The Office for Exception Children must receive written comments by 5 p.m. on March 12.
Through individual meetings, if requested, an individual
may meet with OEC consultants while they are in the district. Approximately 20 minutes will be scheduled for each
meeting depending on the number of individuals making
requests. Contact Stephanie Falor at 614-387-2236 or stephanie.falor@education.ohio.gov to arrange for an individual
meeting.
The public parent meetings are not intended to resolve
complaints about services for an individual child. Comments
made at the public meeting, individual meetings or submission of written comments to OEC do not constitute a formal
complaint. Information about IDEA procedural safeguards
and the formal complaint process will be provided at the
meeting. Any issues addressed, either in writing or during
the public meeting, will be considered but may not be included in OEC’s summary report to the district. However, they
will be considered during the monitoring process.

Dear Dr. Brothers: My
boyfriend and I are in our
late 20s and have been dating for almost a year. He
has always made it very
clear that he doesn’t want
any of my “stuff” in his
apartment, and he’s careful
not to leave even a toothbrush in mine. We are both
faithful, but I don’t see
how this kind of attitude
can move our relationship
forward. I would like to
at least leave a few toiletries or some underwear
in a drawer, but he always
makes sure I don’t. What
does this tell you? — S.G.
Dear S.G.: It tells me
that your boyfriend likes
to keep his space uncomplicated and within his
control, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is
trying to avoid the messiness of breaking up or that
he will never be able to
merge with you into one
big, happy household. I
can see that this arrangement is making you unhappy on two different levels.

The first is the purely practical one: Who wouldn’t
appreciate a little space to
leave the basic necessities
in her boyfriend’s apartment so as to cut down
on having to carry things
back and forth? It seems
perfectly reasonable. Some
guys just don’t get it. They
like to have all their stuff
(which takes up much less
room) in their travel bag,
and yours going home with
you, too.
What your guy may not
realize is that the symbolism in all this that is
making you unhappy on
another level. Sit down
and tell him that when he
makes sure your things are
all packed, and he doesn’t
leave so much as a toothbrush at your place, it
makes you feel insecure.
He may be surprised, or he
may understand why you
have been pouting. If the
talk leads to a conversation
about your relationship
and your future together,
that would be so much the
better. It’s the best way to
find out where you stand
and whether this issue is
really about “stuff” and
personal space, or something more.

Ohio crime lab
chief dies while
diving in Fla.
KEY LARGO, Fla. (AP)
— The director of Ohio’s
state crime lab died while
scuba diving, authorities
said Thursday.
Ronald Dye, of Grove
City, Ohio, and a buddy
were diving about 6 miles
offshore Wednesday when
they surfaced after about
25 minutes, Monroe County Sheriff’s officials said.
The friend told deputies
Dye was low on air and that
Dye then indicated something was wrong, but he
didn’t tell him what it was.
The captain of a commercial dive vessel, Tropical
Adventures, told deputies a
crew member went into the
water with a rescue buoy
and helped the men back to
the boat. A crew member
started CPR and the boat
headed for the dock, but
the 56-year-old Dye was
declared dead a short time
later at a hospital.
The cause of death wasn’t
immediately clear, and an
autopsy was scheduled.
The office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine
said Dye had led the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation
lab for the past year-and-ahalf and was credited with
helping to cut the turnaround time for DNA evidence testing there.
Dye had worked for
more than 30 years at the
lab, which provides law
enforcement with services
such as help in processing evidence from crime
scenes. He rose through
the ranks until he was chosen to lead the lab after a
national search, and he was
excited to be part of the
state’s new forensic dive
team announced last year,
DeWine said Thursday.

our policies to recognize
that reality,” Panetta said
Thursday at a Pentagon
news conference with Gen.
Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
Panetta said that not all
women will be able to meet
the qualifications to be a
combat soldier.
“But everyone is entitled
to a chance,” he said.
He said the qualifications will not be lowered,
and with women playing a
broader role, the military
will be strengthened.
Panetta said that his visits to Afghanistan and Iraq
to see U.S. forces in action demonstrated to him
that women should have a
chance to perform combat
duties if they wish, and if
they can meet the qualifications.
“Our military is more
capable, and our force is
more powerful, when we
use all of the great diverse
strengths of the American
people,” Panetta said earlier Thursday at a Pentagon
ceremony in remembrance
of Martin Luther King Jr.
Panetta is expected to
step down as Pentagon
chief sometime in February. Republican Former
Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska has been nominated
as his successor, and his
Senate confirmation hearing is scheduled for Jan.
31.
“Every person in today’s
military has made a solemn commitment to fight,
and if necessary to die, for
our nation’s defense,” he
said. “We owe it to them to
allow them to pursue every
avenue of military service
for which they are fully
prepared and qualified.
Their career success and
their specific opportunities
should be based solely on
their ability to successfully
carry out an assigned mission. Everyone deserves
that chance.”
The decision to lift
the ban on women serv-

ing in combat presents a
daunting challenge to top
military leaders who now
will have to decide which,
if any, jobs they believe
should be open only to
men.
Panetta planned to announce at a Pentagon news
conference that more than
230,000 battlefront posts
— many in Army and Marine infantry units and in
potentially elite commando jobs — are now open
to women. It will be up to
the military service chiefs
to recommend and defend
whether women should be
excluded from any of those
more demanding and deadly positions, such as Navy
SEALs or the Army’s Delta
Force.
The historic change,
which was recommended
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being
assigned to smaller ground
combat units.
The change won’t take
place overnight: Service
chiefs will have to develop
plans for allowing women
to seek the combat positions, a senior military official said. Some jobs may
open as soon as this year,
while assessments for others, such as special operations forces, may take longer. The services will have
until January 2016 to make
a case to that some positions should remain closed
to women.
Officials briefed The
Associated Press on the
changes Wednesday on
condition of anonymity so
they could speak ahead of
the official announcement.
There long has been opposition to putting women
in combat, based on questions of whether they have
the necessary strength and
stamina for certain jobs,
or whether their presence
might hurt unit cohesion.
But as news of Panetta’s
expected order got out,
many members of Congress, including the Senate
Armed Services Committee chairman, Sen. Carl
Levin, D-Mich., announced
their support.
“It reflects the reality of
21st century military operations,” Levin said.
Objections were few. Jerry Boykin, executive vice
president of the Family
Research Council, called

the move “another social
experiment” that will place
unnecessary burdens on
military commanders.
“While their focus must
remain on winning the
battles and protecting their
troops, they will now have
the distraction of having
to provide some separation of the genders during
fast-moving and deadly
situations,” said Boykin,
a retired Army lieutenant general. He noted that
small units often are in sustained combat for extended periods of time under
primal living conditions
with no privacy.
Panetta’s move comes
in his final weeks as Pentagon chief and just days
after President Barack
Obama’s inaugural speech
in which he spoke passionately about equal rights for
all. The new order expands
the department’s action of
nearly a year ago to open
about 14,500 combat positions to women, nearly all
of them in the Army.
In addition to questions
of strength and performance, there also have
been suggestions that the
American public would not
tolerate large numbers of
women being killed in war.
Under the 1994 Pentagon
policy, women were prohibited from being assigned to
ground combat units below
the brigade level. A brigade
is roughly 3,500 troops
split into several battalions
of about 800 soldiers each.
Historically, brigades were
based farther from the
front lines, and they often
included top command and
support staff.
The necessities of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan,
however, propelled women
into jobs as medics, military police and intelligence
officers that were sometimes attached — but not
formally assigned — to battalions. So while a woman
couldn’t be assigned as an
infantryman in a battalion
going out on patrol, she
could fly the helicopter supporting the unit, or move
in to provide medical aid if
troops were injured.
And these conflicts,
where battlefield lines are
blurred and insurgents can
lurk around every corner,
have made it almost impossible to keep women clear
of combat.

Humane Society is now
in a position to provide a
limited number of kennels
and kennel roofs to keep
off the snow, ice, and rain
which will greatly improve
the dogs’ lives.
Noting that dogs are
companion animals who
prefer the company of
people, and sometimes become overly protective if
chained, Sayre emphasized
the dangers of injuring
themselves while jumping
around, as well as the very
real possibility of choking
and becoming helplessly
wound up in chains or
tethers. “I have seen two
or three dogs staked out
in a row unable to meet
and greet each other or to
reach their water bowls,
powerless to move only
five feet away from the
leaky sheds that pass as
their shelters. This is no
life for a dog,” she said

Vicky Baer, secretarytreasurer of the Meigs Society said that the Comfort
Zone project is an attempt
to enable owners to keep
their dogs at home, in a
safe enclosure, rather than
leaving them to roam or
live miserable lives tied to
dog boxes.
“We encounter owners who agree that living
chained is no life for a dog,

test plan ‘provocative’
WASHINGTON (AP) — North Korea’s plan to conduct a third nuclear
test is “needlessly provocative” and
will only increase its isolation, the
White House said Thursday, as the
U.S. expanded its financial sanctions
against the north Asian country.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
said he’s seen no outward sign that
North Korea will follow through
soon on its plan to conduct a test —
following its underground atomic explosions in 2006 and 2009.
But that doesn’t mean preparations
aren’t under way.
“They have the capability, frankly,
to conduct these tests in a way that
make it very difficult to determine
whether or not they are doing it,”
Panetta told reporters.
North Korea’s National Defense
Commission said Thursday a nuclear
test was part of “upcoming” action
directed against the U.S. but did not
say exactly when or where it would
take place. The commission, led
by leader Kim Jong Un, also made
clear that its long-range rockets are
designed to carry warheads aimed
at striking the United States. The
North has previously said its launches are for a peaceful space program.
Pyongyang’s statement came two
days after the U.N. Security Council
condemned its December launch of a
satellite atop a long-range rocket for
violating a ban on ballistic missile activity. The council, with the support
of the North’s only major ally, China,
also tightened sanctions.
“North Korea’s statement is needlessly provocative and a test would be
a significant violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions,”
White House spokesman Carney
told reporters. “Further provocation
would only increase Pyongyang’s isolation, and its continued focus on its
nuclear and missile program is doing
nothing to help the North Korean
people.”
Carney said the council decision
to tighten sanctions would impede
the growth of weapons of mass destruction programs in North Korea.
He said the U.S. would be taking additional steps. The government later
designated as “trade” several entities
said to be involved in missile development.
Carney noted the council’s warning to take further action in the event
of a further launch or nuclear test.
“We judge North Korea by its actions, and provocations like these are
significant violations and we act accordingly,” Carney said.

North Korea claims the right to
build nuclear weapons as a defense
against the United States, its foe
from the 1950-53 Korean War. The
U.S. still maintains 28,000 troops in
South Korea as a deterrent against
aggression from the North.
North Korea’s recently launched
rocket has the potential to hit the
west coast of the U.S. mainland, but
experts say it still doesn’t have the
capability to make a missile re-enter
the atmosphere and hit a target. Nor
is it believed to have miniaturized a
nuclear device to mount on a missile.
A nuclear test could move it closer
toward that goal.
The elevation a year ago of Kim
Jong Un following the death of his
father Kim Jong Il had fueled hope of
improved relations with Washington,
particularly after the North accepted
a substantial offer of food aid in exchange for nuclear concessions. But
that agreement collapsed last April
when the North conducted a longrange rocket launch.
Carney said the U.S. has not seen
a noticeable change in North Korea’s
behavior.
The Treasury Department levied
sanctions Thursday against a Hong
Kong-based trading company and
two officials of a North Korean bank.
The administrative move prohibits
them from transactions with Americans and freezes any assets they may
have under U.S. jurisdiction.
Treasury described the Tanchon
Commercial Bank as the financial
arm of Pyongyang’s premier arms
dealer and main exporter of goods
and equipment related to ballistic
missiles and conventional weapons.
The bank has also been involved in
ballistic missile transactions between
the arms dealer, Korea’s Mining Development Trading Corporation, and
Iran’s Shahid Hemmat Industrial
Group, a U.S.- and UN-designated
organization responsible for developing liquid-fueled ballistic missiles,
Treasury said.
“By continuing to expose these entities, and the individuals who assist
them, we degrade North Korea’s ability to use the international financial
system for its illicit purposes,” David
S. Cohen, the Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in a statement.
The State Department also designated the Korean Committee for
Space Technology, which it said has
orchestrated rocket launches and has
contributed to development of longrange ballistic missile development.

organization based in Virginia, which stresses that
chained dogs “live as prisoners, yet long to be pets.”
Dixie Circle Sayre, president of the local Humane
Society, explained that
the Comfort Zone project
began first with the question: “What is sadder than
a dog at the end of a chain,
separated from his family,
approached only to be fed
and watered?” She challenged the notion that tethering is the way to keep a
dog and instead appealed
to owners for compassion,
much as Dogs Deserve
Better does.
“Our call for kinder
treatment of dogs will, we
believe, be far more productively reinforced by the
knowledge that concrete
help is on the way,” Sayre
added.
Thanks to Scott Chari-

tion because of their economic situation, so we
decided to address this
problem directly,” Baer
said. Kennels will be delivered and set up for owners
who will also receive information on how to care
for kennel dogs, including
how many to include in the
enclosure.
The plan is for the Meigs
County Humane Officer
to notify owners who are
in need of a kennel of the

Comfort Zone Program.
Then if they qualify financially they are given priority for receiving one, said
Baer. The animal owner
must then show proof of
low income, such as a food
stamp or Medicaid card,

Social Security Disability,
W2s or unemployment verification, to be determined
eligible for kennel and roof.
“Most people want to do
what is best for the dogs,
and we want to help them
to do that,” she concluded.

I have no doubt you share my

benefit others, allow me to propose, instead, that we be a blessing to them.
No, this isn’t a mere exercise
in semantics. Rather, it is a reminder that Christianity is not a
call to do but to be, and the good
we do after we submit to Christ
and become His disciples is that
which God accepts and acknowledges.
By way of an illustration, last
Saturday was the fifth “National
Day of Service” — an event initiated by our current President,
in 2009. The purpose of this
day is for Americans to do what
they can when and where one’s
services are needed, to selflessly
lend a helping hand in the service of another whereby the latter benefits from the former.

It made a definite difference in the dealing with

The contrast is quite

down-graded when we image being in the shadow

is a non-concern.
Further note that a shadow is generally considered
as constantly varying till

is not true with God “…

we have the unfailing benefit of God’s wings “…until

God’s honor and glory, and
for our benefit.
Another of the Psalmists also wrote, “Hide me

wings.”

That this is a noble gesture, I
grant you. Indeed, this country
could not and would not be the
great nation it is today were it
not for those who came before us
and willingly set aside their individual differences, preferences
and prejudices for the common
good.
Nevertheless, if as Americans
we can see ourselves as blessed
by God — as well we should! —
then we ought to be more than
just another “helping hand.” If
we claim to exist by the grace
of God and likewise profess to
be the light of God, but say little
or nothing to others about God
… then of what real use are we,
either to God or our fellow man?
Take, for instance, the plethora of “entitlements” our government dispenses, and the lust on
the part of those who receive
them for more thereof. Is it just
me, or has our country gone off
on a tangent from the substantial
work ethic upon which it was
founded?
Paul speaks to this same issue in his Second Epistle to

the Christians of Thessalonica;
therein Paul made it quite plain,
that those who weren’t working with the authorities of the
Church were not to be provided
for by the Church (3:10).
We are in our right to expect
our elected officials to do what
they determine is necessary for
those who are unable to provide for themselves. However,
let none of us be duped … these
same people most certainly are
not overt proponents of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
It seems the majority of those
we elect to office no sooner assume their position than they depart from whatever training they
ever had related to Christ, ethics
and morals alike. Giving away
all they do is sure to gain them
votes, but how sad it is that either so few elected officials ever
“voted” for Jesus as their Savior
and Lord, or now refuse to behave as His disciple.
By the way, as one of His …

Search the Scripture
‘These were more noble…they
searched the scriptures daily…’
Jesus predicted that the church would
be like a planted mustard seed. “To what
shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with
what parable shall we picture it? It is like
a mustard seed which, when it is sown on
the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on
earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and
becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots
out large branches, so that the birds of the air
may nest under its shade.” (Mark 4:30-32)
The fulfillment of this prophecy can be
seen in Acts. In the first chapter of Acts,
there were a scant 120 disciples, but they
quickly grew, by Acts 2, to 3000, and
the number of the disciples continued to
grow until it had spread across the world,
so that all who sought refuge and salvation in the church could find it.
Isaiah, within the context of a Messianic
prophecy concerning the salvation of the
Gentiles (cf. Isaiah 60:3), used a much similar figure to foretell the church. “Also your
people shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting,
the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.
A little one shall become a thousand, and a
small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will
hasten it in its time.” (Isaiah 60:21-22)
We see two different figures at work in Isaiah’s prophecy. The first figure is that of the
church as a nation. We should never think of
the church as an earthly, political nation. The
Lord Himself said, “My kingdom is not of
this world. If My kingdom were of this world,
My servants would fight, so that I should not
be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” (John 18:36) Those
looking for an earthly kingdom do so despite
the teachings of the Bible, and they do so in
error. Nevertheless, the church is the Lord’s
Kingdom. (cf. Colossians 1:13) Peter says to
the church, “But you are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own
special people, that you may proclaim the
praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;…” (1 Peter
2:9; emp. added) As a nation, the church has
a king (Christ), a law (the Bible), an area of
effect (the heart), borders (the world), and
requirements for citizenship (faith, confession, repentance and baptism). As citizens of

a spiritual kingdom, Christians are called to
submit to the authority of Christ in faithfulness and obedience.
The second figure in Isaiah’s prophecy is
that of the church as a plant, planted by the
Lord. This is in concurrence with Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed. God planted the
church. It is not the creation of men. God
gave the church growth and blessed it so that
He might be glorified.
We need to take care that when we seek
for a religious body to join ourselves to, we
seek for that body planted by God. Jesus
said concerning this, “Every plant which My
heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.” (Matthew 15:13) There are many
false churches in the world, many false teachers, and many false Christians. God knows
which are which. In the parable of the tares,
Jesus made it clear that, during this life, God
would allow false followers to continue, but
there would come a day of reckoning (cf.
Matthew 13:24-38). We don’t want to be an
uprooted plant on that day. We want to be a
part of God’s own plant.
The “plants” grown of God grow only from
the “seed” that God plants. We do not have
to be in suspense concerning what seed God
uses. Jesus tells us, “The seed is the word of
God.” (Luke 8:11) If we allow other seeds to
be planted in our hearts, we will be part of a
kingdom other than God’s.
Jesus makes another point about those
plants the Lord Himself plants. They are each
fruitful. “I am the true vine, and My Father
is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that
does not bear fruit He takes away; and every
branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may
bear more fruit.” (John 15:1-2) and “By this
My Father is glorified, that you bear much
fruit; so you will be My disciples.” (John 15:8)
Unfruitful trees are chopped down and used
for the fire. Likewise with unfruitful disciples.
Jesus will cast them away. Many want the salvation Jesus offers without producing the fruit
He expects. While the Lord is patient with us,
we cannot continue in unfruitfulness and expect to prosper in the Kingdom. Again, there
comes that day of reckoning, when the good
plants born of seed sown by God, are shown
to be true by the fruits they have borne. Let
us labor for that day as the Lord’s church, His

NY man charged in 1 murder now accused of 2 more
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.
(AP) — A man recently
accused of killing a woman
20 years ago has now been
indicted in the fatal stabbings of two others, a district attorney’s office said
Thursday.
Lucius Crawford, 60, has
spent 30 years in prison for
nonfatal stabbings in New
York and North Carolina
going back to the 1970s.

Crawford has been
charged with two counts
of murder and two counts
of criminal weapon possession in the killings that
took place last month and
in 1993, the Westchester
district attorney’s office
said Thursday.
He was indicted last
month in another 1993
killing.
When Crawford was

arrested, Mount Vernon
police Commissioner Carl
Bell said he “focuses his
attacks on young women.
He befriends them and at
some point he ends up either attacking them or killing them.”
Crawford’s lawyer, Angelo MacDonald, said he
would challenge the charges.
“There might be an is-

sue with his mental state,
regarding the statements
he made,” MacDonald
said.
Police said last month
that Crawford confessed to
the three killings but MacDonald said he was denying at least some of them.
In the most recent case,
Crawford is accused of killing 41-year-old Tonya Simmons on Dec. 4. Her body

was found in Crawford’s
Mount Vernon apartment
by officers from Yonkers
and New York City who
were looking for Crawford,
who was on parole, in connection with two cold-case
killings. A recent DNA
match had linked Crawford
to those killings, police
said.
When police found the
body in his apartment,

they also found his electronic monitoring ankle
bracelet, which had been
cut off, authorities said.
He was captured three
hours later.
One of the cold-case
killings was the stabbing
of 23-year-old Learonda
Shealy of Yonkers in
1993. The new indictment charges Crawford
with that killing.

Kerry tackles questions on Iran, Syria, Hagel
a role that was thrust upon us.”
Kerry spoke out strongly for
dealing with climate change, providing food and energy security
and humanitarian assistance. He
also spoke of robust foreign aid,
but he insisted that the country
must get its fiscal house in order
to lead in the world.
“More than ever, foreign
policy is economic policy,” said
Kerry, who described himself as
a “recovering member of the supercommittee.” That bipartisan
panel failed in 2011 in its mandate to come up with a deficitcutting plan.
Faced with Iran’s nuclear program, Kerry said the United
State will do what it must to
prevent Tehran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon, but he also signaled that diplomacy remains a
viable option.
“I repeat here today: Our policy is not containment. It is prevention, and the clock is ticking
on our efforts to secure responsible compliance,” Kerry said.
The senator said he was hopeful that the U.S. and other nations could make progress on the
diplomatic front, but that Tehran
needs to relent and agree to intrusive inspections.
“If their program is peaceful,
they can prove it,” he said.
In an unexpected exchange,
Kerry found himself defending Obama’s pick of Republican
Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary against GOP
criticism.
Sen. Bob Corker, the senior
Republican on the panel, expressed concerns about Hagel’s
support for an 80 percent reduc-

tion of U.S. nuclear weapons, a
major issue for the Tennessee
lawmaker and his home state.
The Y-12 nuclear facility is located near Oak Ridge, Tenn., and
any cuts or delays in modernization to the nuclear arsenal would
have an impact on local jobs.
“I know Chuck Hagel. And I
think he is a strong, patriotic
former senator, and he will be
a strong secretary of defense,”
Kerry said.
The Massachusetts senator
urged lawmakers to be realistic,
arguing that an 80 percent cut is
an aspiration that would be unlikely in the current climate.
On Syria, Kerry was asked
about his outreach to President
Bashar Assad, now an international pariah after months of
civil war and unending violence
against his citizens.
Kerry said there was a moment where Syria reached out
to the West but that the moment
has long passed.
“History caught up to us. That
never happened. And it’s now
moot, because he has made a set
of judgments that are inexcusable, that are reprehensible, and
I think is not long for remaining
as the head of state in Syria,” the
senator said. “I think the time is
ticking.”
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a
fierce critic of Obama’s policy on
Syria, said the status quo is unacceptable with the United Nations
estimating that 60,000 have been
killed and the heavy influx of refugees in Jordan and Turkey.
After a recent visit to the refugee camps, McCain warned that
Syrians frustrated with the U.S.

response will be a recruitment
target for extremists.
“We can do a lot more without
putting American boots on the
ground,” McCain said. “Otherwise, we will be judged harshly
by history.”
Kerry said it was imperative to
continue discussions with Russia
and others in dealing with Syria
but that “I don’t have optimism.”
Menendez noted that Kerry,
if confirmed, would be the first
senator on the panel in a century
to ascend to the Cabinet post.
President William McKinley appointed Ohio Sen. John Sherman
secretary of state.
The job of the nation’s top
diplomat would be the realization of a dream for the 69-yearold Kerry, whom Obama passed
over in 2008 when he chose Clinton. When Joe Biden became
vice president, Kerry replaced
the former Delaware senator as
chairman of the committee.
Obama nominated Kerry after
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador
to the United Nations, removed
her name from consideration
following criticism from Republicans over her initial comments
about the attacks on the U.S.
Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Corker told Kerry, “You’ve
almost lived your entire life for
this moment.”
The Vietnam War, a long, bitter conflict that took its toll on a
generation of draft-age American
men, played a prominent role at
the hearing.
In his testimony, Kerry alluded to his controversial moment
before the committee some 42
years ago, when the decorated

Vietnam veteran testified about
his opposition to the war and famously asked, “How do you ask a
man to be the last man to die for
a mistake?”
“Today I can’t help but recognize that the world itself then
was in many ways simpler, divided as it was along bi-polar, Cold
War antagonisms,” Kerry said.
“Today’s world is more complicated than anything we have experienced.”
McCain, who also introduced
Kerry, said their friendship took
root with their work on a committee seeking to resolve the status
of POWs and missing in action
from Vietnam as well as efforts to
ensure normal U.S. relations with
Vietnam during President Bill
Clinton’s administration.
“Helping to establish a relationship with Vietnam that
serves American interests and
values, rather than one that remained mired in mutual resentment and bitterness, is one of my
proudest accomplishments as a
senator, and I expect it is one of
John’s as well,” McCain said.
The hearing is the first of
three for Obama’s national security nominees, and the least
controversial. Hagel will face
tough questions about his past
statements on Israel, Iran, nuclear weapons and defense spending at his confirmation hearing
next Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
John Brennan, the president’s
choice for CIA director, will be
quizzed about White House national security leaks and the use
of unmanned drones at his hearing next month.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
John Kerry, President Barack
Obama’s nominee for secretary
of state, collected pledges of
support Thursday and testified
at his confirmation hearing that
U.S. foreign policy should be defined by a helping hand as well as
military strength.
The Massachusetts Democrat
discussed Iran, Syria, climate
change and a variety of issues
with members of the Foreign Relations Committee at a hearing
that recalled an unusual American life — son of a diplomat, enlisted Navy man in Vietnam, antiwar protester, five-term senator
and Obama’s unofficial envoy.
The nearly four-hour hearing
also provided an odd juxtaposition as Kerry, a member of the
panel for 28 years and its chairman for the last four, sat alone in
the witness chair. At one point,
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the
incoming chairman who presided, mistakenly referred to Kerry
as “Mr. Secretary.”
The current secretary, Hillary Rodham Clinton, introduced
Kerry, calling him “the right
choice.” She is stepping down
after four years.
The committee is expected
to approve Kerry’s nomination
early next week, and a full Senate vote could occur before the
month is out.
“American foreign policy is
not defined by drones and deployments alone,” Kerry said in
outlining his views. “We cannot
allow the extraordinary good we
do to save and change lives to be
eclipsed entirely by the role we
have had to play since Sept. 11,

URG to host Art Lanham Day on Saturday
Randy Payton
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The
name Art Lanham has been synonymous with Rio Grande athletics for more than 50 years.
The 80-year-old former multisport coach, athletic director
and Athletic Hall of Fame member will be honored Saturday,
Jan. 26 with “Art Lanham Day”
as the University of Rio Grande
hosts a basketball doublehead-

er against Georgetown College.
“He touched the lives of so many
people during his time here,” said
Jeff Lanham, Art’s son and current
Rio Grande athletic director. “It’s
an opportunity for him to come
back and reminisce with those
people. Dad played an integral role
in the development of the athletic
programs and facilities here at the
University of Rio Grande.”
Festivities are scheduled to
begin at noon with a wine &amp;

cheese social, sponsored by
the Fraternal Order of Archon
Alumni Association, in the Ron
Glover Booster Room at the Paul
R. Lyne Center.
The women’s basketball game
against the 13th-ranked Tigers tips at 2 p.m. Lanham, or
“Coach Man” as he was known
during his 21-year tenure as the
men’s coach and athletic director
(1960-80), will be honored shortly before the tip of the men’s game

scheduled for a 4 p.m. start.
Art Lanham Day concludes
with a 6:30 p.m. dinner in the
Rhodes Student Center food
court. Dinner tickets are $15 and
can be purchased through the
athletic department at 740-2457293 or 740-245-7485.
Along with coaching men’s
basketball, Lanham also served
as coach of the baseball, golf and
track &amp; field teams. Whether
serving as a coach or athletic di-

rector, Lanham also helped usher
in the women’s basketball, softball, golf, swimming and track &amp;
field programs. Golf and swimming no longer exist.
He also oversaw construction in 1969 of the Lyne Center,
which now houses two gymnasiums, an indoor pool, a fitness
center, racquetball courts, classrooms and the Rio Grande Athletic Department. Rio’s original
track and baseball facilities also
were built under his watch.

Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Who knows what kind of career Corey Taylor would have enjoyed as a member of the
University of Rio Grande men’s basketball program had
his life not been cut short by an automobile accident on
Christmas night in 2008.
What did become obvious in his short time on the URG
campus was a desire and drive to become the best player
he could possibly be.
“Corey played hard, with the attributes that we put on
the name of the award itself, and this is a way in which we
can honor him,” said Rio Grande head coach Ken French.
“His loss hit us hard. I’m just happy that we’re able to recognize people in our program who show a lot of the same
characteristics that Corey had and that his family is still a
part of our Rio family.”
Sophomore Travis Elliott was presented with the 4th
Annual Corey Taylor Heart and Hustle Award prior to
the RedStorm’s game against Bluefield (Va.) College, last
Thursday, at the Newt Oliver Arena.
“We’re very fortunate in that we’ve got a lot of great
individuals on this team, character-wise, but Travis really
embodies everything that this award is about,” French
said. “It’s about heart and hustle -going above and beyond
in dedication to the program - and Travis is a well-deserving recipient. We always say that you get what you earn
and he’s earned this. I’m sure it was a great night for him.”
With his former high school team and various family
members looking on, the Ironton, Ohio native made his
first varsity start and finished with nine points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists in just over 23 minutes of playing time.

points of the game but RVHS
(4-12) closed the first period
with a 20-to-7 run to take the
eight point lead.
The Silver and Black offense struggled in the second quarter, amassing just
eight points. Southern rallied for 16 points in the second and tied the game at 28
headed into the half.
The Lady Raiders found
new life after halftime with
a 1:30 10-0 run to start the
third quarter. Overall RVHS
out scored Southern 30-to-7
in the third period including
an 11-0 spurt over the final
2:15.

Record-setting base
stealer steps up with Reds
CINCINNATI (AP) — Billy Hamilton is ready to show the major leagues
that he can steal a base anywhere.
The Reds have invited the 22-yearold outfielder with freakish speed to
spring training, giving him a chance
to see firsthand what it’s like to take
off running with a major league pitcher and catcher trying to keep him
from taking the next base.
Hamilton set a professional record
with 155 steals last season, which he
split between Single-A and Double-A.
The Reds plan to start him at TripleA Louisville this season, giving him
time to develop his bunting and adapt
to his new position in center field.
First, he’ll get a chance to attend
camp in Arizona as a non-roster invitee. He played in a few spring games
last year, but will get a more regular
test this time.
Can he steal off these guys?
“People say once you move up, it’s
going to be harder,” Hamilton said
Thursday, before boarding a bus as
part of the team’s annual winter caravan to nearby cities. “But my confidence takes me a long way, not just in
baseball. I feel if I get there and have
the same confidence, I’ll be good. I’m
looking forward to it, to seeing what
the outcome is.”
A lot of fans are aching to see what
happens when he finally makes it to
Cincinnati.
Reds fans were enticed by speed
when lanky left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman started his career in
the minors and hit 105 mph on radar
guns with his fastball. He reached the
big leagues in 2010 and hit 105 mph
again.
The diminutive Hamilton seems
to run as fast during the 90-foot dash
from base to base — only an optical
illusion, of course. However, he has
already received national attention for
circling the bases in a mere 13.8 seconds during an inside-the-park homer
in the minors — the video quickly became a hit on YouTube.
At that speed, he compares favorably to some of the fastest players in
the majors.
The Reds’ challenge is getting him

ready to run the bases in the big
leagues. They’ve moved him from
shortstop to center field — youngster
Zack Cozart has shortstop locked up
for the foreseeable future. They traded center fielder Drew Stubbs to the
Indians in the offseason and received
30-year-old outfielder Shin-Soo Choo,
who will play center and bat leadoff
this season, his last under contract.
The way is clear for Hamilton to
take over the spot either late this season or in 2014, depending upon how
quickly he develops at Triple-A. The
Reds sent him to the Arizona Fall
League after last season to continue
his progression.
“He’s probably going to end up
bunting a lot,” general manager Walt
Jocketty said on Thursday. “With his
speed, we saw him get a lot of hits
that way in the fall league. Bunting
and running are his two key tools.”
Hamilton’s speed brought him a major career choice in high school at Taylorsville, Miss. He was offered a football scholarship to Mississippi State
— he played receiver and returned
punts — but decided to pursue baseball in part because his mother, Polly,
thought it better suited his 6-foot-tall,
160-pound frame.
“It was a real tough decision,” Hamilton said. “I sat down with my family.
My mom didn’t want me to get hit so
much. She liked me taking the baseball route. I’m glad I took that route.
It’s working out good for me.”
At first, he stole bases solely on his
speed. Reds coaches, including former
star center fielder Eric Davis, have
been teaching him how to read pitchers’ moves, which will come in handy
as he moves up to higher skill levels.
“His main thing was: Don’t be
afraid,” Hamilton said. “Always have
that feel that you can’t be thrown out.
Always be aggressive.”
Teams started pitching out when he
reached base last season, but it didn’t
matter very much.
“They threw over (to first base) a
lot,” Hamilton said. “They pitched
out a lot. It makes me mad, kind of,
when I’m running and they pitch out.
But it’s their job. It’s respect.”

center Marreese Speights,
guard Wayne Ellington

and a future first-round

Milwaukee and may not
see any playing time until
next week.
Ravens FS Reed: ‘I’ll be
playing next year’
OWINGS MILLS, Md.
(AP) — Baltimore Ravens
free safety Ed Reed intends
to return next season.

There was speculation
that the 34-year-old Reed
might retire after the Ravens complete their Super
Bowl run next Sunday. But
Reed said Thursday, “I’ll
be playing next year.”
Teammate Ray Lewis
announced earlier this
month that would be his
“last ride.”
Reed said, “No, it’s not
my last ride. I just bought
a bike.”
Now in his 11th season,
Reed hasn’t missed a start
since 2010. He was one
of two Baltimore defensive players to start all 16
games this season.
Reed has been selected
to play in 12 Pro Bowls,
including each one since
2006.
Reed’s 61 career interceptions are a franchise
record, and his 1,541 yards
in interception returns is
the most in NFL history.

Coyotes roll to 5-1
win over Blue Jackets
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)
— When Steve Sullivan
joined the Phoenix Coyotes, he knew it was a team
where players had specific
roles and that his would be
to create scoring chances.
Three goals in his third
game is a good start.
Sullivan had his eighth
career hat trick, Oliver
Ekman-Larsson had two
goals and an assist, and
the Coyotes beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-1
Wednesday night for their
first win of the season.
“You’re brought in for
a certain reason and you
don’t want to disappoint,”
Sullivan said after posing
for pictures with the three
pucks from his hat trick.
“It’s no different for myself, so I try to go out and
do the best I can. If the
goals come, that’s great.”
Lackluster defensively
in its first two games,
Phoenix was much more
sound in its own end and
created some good scoring chances because of it,
sending 42 shots at Columbus goalie Steve Mason in his first start of the
season.
Sullivan found the back
of the net with three of
them for his first hat
trick since Dec. 14, 2009,
against Columbus while
he was playing for Nashville.
Ekman-Larsson had the
kind of game the Coyotes
have been expecting from
their young defenseman
since drafting him with
the sixth overall pick in
the 2009 draft, finishing
with his first career threepoint game.
Antoine Vermette and
Mikkel Boedker had two
assists each, nine players
had at least a point, and Jason LaBarbera was sharp
in his first action of the
season, stopping 21 shots

after starter Mike Smith
left midway through the
first period with a lowerbody injury.
Playing more like they
did while winning their
first NHL division title
last season, the Coyotes
avoided their first 0-3
start since 1985-86, when
the franchise was still in
Winnipeg.
“We were just more
committed to the puck,”
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. “We weren’t trying to make a fancy play
every time we touched
the puck. We got it deep
every time we had to, we
blocked more shots, we
defended better.”
Columbus, one of the
surprise teams of the early
season, was solid in the
first period against Phoenix, getting a goal from
Fedor Tyutin and some
big saves from Mason,
getting his turn after Sergei Bobrovsky started the
first two games.
But once the Coyotes
started scoring, Columbus
came unraveled, looking
more like the team that
had an NHL-worst 65
points last season, not the
rebuilt version that split
a pair of shootout games
against Nashville and Detroit to open this season.
“There were a few good
things, but there was lots
of things that we have to
address and repair,” Columbus coach Todd Richards said. “Some of it
came down to a pure will,
a want to compete and
battle. We’ve had it and
when we lose it is when
we become undisciplined
and making some bad mistakes.”
A year ago, Phoenix
surged to the Pacific Division title behind a tightchecking style and superb
goaltending by Smith.

Neither was working
through the first games
this season, the defense
giving up too many good
scoring chances and turnovers, and Smith too many
goals that wouldn’t have
gotten by him last season.
Phoenix allowed 10
goals the first two games,
against Dallas and Chicago, and all those came
against Smith, who began
the day with a save percentage of .825.
The Blue Jackets put up
plenty of shots against the
Coyotes the last time these
teams met, peppering Smith
with 54 on April 3. He
stopped them all, though,
setting an NHL record for
most saves in a shutout.
He didn’t get a chance
to match it, facing four
shots before leaving the
ice during a timeout.
LaBarbera sprawled to
kick away a point-blank
shot by Ryan Johansen
right after coming in, then
gave up a goal in the second
period to Tyutin, who beat
him with a big slap shot
from near the blue line.
LaBarbera was solid after
that, doing the splits to stop
a couple of shots on a scrum
in front of his crease in the
second period and turning
away seven more during a
power play in the third.
“I was a little bit nervous
going in, but we were focused tonight,” LaBarbera
said. “We played an unreal
game and that’s how we
have to play every night.”
The good defense — and
some miscues by the Blue
Jackets — helped Phoenix
create some good offensive
chances.
Sullivan scored his first
goal with the Coyotes midway through the second
period, punching in a rebound after Mason made
a tough save on a shot by
Antoine Vermette.

ability,” he said. “Honestly, I
learned that from my hometown
and my family. I just try to give
my all and see what happens that’s all I can do.”
Elliott, who spent his entire
freshman season on the Rio junior varsity squad, began the
2012-13 season with the RedStorm JV team.
After an outstanding season at

the junior varsity level - he averaged 30 points per game - he’s become someone that French calls
on off the bench with regularity.
“One of the Achilles of our team
this year has been consistency knowing what you’re getting from
everybody every night. That’s not
an issue with Travis,” French said.
“Day in, day out, game or practice,
he’s someone who brings it every
day. He plays with a high level of

passion and energy and he’s very
team-oriented. Those are things
we’re trying to establish throughout our program.”
Heading into this weekend’s
home games against St. Catharine College and Georgetown
College, Elliott has appeared in
13 games and averages 3.7 points
and 1.6 rebounds per outing.
The 6-foot-2 guard is shooting 52.9 percent from the field

overall (18-for-34) and is 4-for-10
from three-point range. He also
has seven steals and seven assists.
Taylor’s father, Randy, made
the presentation to Elliott.
“I saw Corey play - his brother actually played at Ironton,
where I went to school, when
he was playing for South Point.
He hustled his butt off when he
played and it means a lot to me

to think somebody feels that I
play the same way,” Elliott said.
“It’s touching.”
French said the award - and its
recipients - are a product of hard
work paying off.
“I’m sure Travis looks at receiving this award with a great
sense of accomplishment - and
he should,” French said. “He’s
worked hard and he’s become an
integral part of our team.”

Valley
From Page B1
“We needed the win,”
River Valley coach Renee
Gilmore said. “Getting
ready to go into tournaments all the wins we can
get and the confidence
we can get back into the
girls its gonna be good for
them.”
Cady Gilmore paced
the Lady Raiders with
a triple-double performance of 25 points, 16
assists and 13 rebounds.
Leia Moore chipped in
with 13 points, Courtney

Smith added 12 and Tianna Qualls marked eight in
the triumph. Chelsea Copley marked seven points,
Rachael Smith had four
and Justyce Stout closed
out the RVHS scoring
with two points.
Following Gilmore in
the rebounding column
were Qualls with eight
and Moore with four.
Courtney Smith added
six assists, while Shalin
Comer had five. Courtney
Smith completed her double-double with 11 steals
on the night, followed by

Gilmore with five.
The Lady Raiders shot
7-of-11 (63.6 percent)
from the charity stripe and
30-of-76 (39.5 percent)
from the field, including
4-of-11 (36.4 percent)
from beyond the arc. Gilmore drained a trio of three’s
for the victors, while
Moore made the other. As
a team River Valley had 34
rebounds, 28 assists, 22
steals and 22 turnovers.
The victory snaps River
Valley’s two game skid.
Southern was led by
Celestia Hendrix with 19

points, 15 of which came
before halftime, and Jansen Wolfe with 10 points.
Maggie Cummins had
eight points, Jordan Huddleston marked seven,
while Haley Hill and Kyrie
Swann each added three.
Shelby Pickens closed out
the SHS scoring with two
points on the night.
“We
are
getting
better,”Southern
head
coach Scott Cleland said.
“We are gonna take the
positive things from this
game and build on them.”
Wolfe paced the Lady

Tornadoes on the glass
with 12 rebounds, followed
by Hendrix with eight and
Hill with four. Swann, Hill
and Wolfe each had three
assists to lead SHS, while
Huddleston’s trio of steals
led the way. Wolfe had a
game-high three blocked
shots.
The Purple and Gold
shot 8-of-15 (53.3 percent)
from the line and 21-of-56
(37.5 percent) from the
field, including 2-of-10
(20 percent) from long
range. Cummins and Hill
were responsible for the

SHS triples. As a unit the
Lady Tornadoes had 33
rebounds, 15 assists, 10
steals and 29 turnovers.
The loss snaps Southerns
two game win streak.
This marks the Lady
Raiders second highest offensive output this season.
The Silver and Black improve to 3-0 against Meigs
County teams this year,
while Southern is now 1-2
against Gallia County opponents.
This is the lone meeting
between SHS and River
Valley this season.

Busch signs multi-year
Arizona sends Upton to Braves
deal to stay with JGR

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona
has traded outfielder Justin
Upton to the Atlanta Braves in
a seven-player deal that sends
former All-Star infielder Martin
Prado to the Diamondbacks.
The Braves also get third baseman Chris Johnson. Atlanta is
giving up four minor leaguers in
the deal, including top pitching
prospect Randy Delgado. The
other minor leaguers headed to
Arizona are right-hander Zeke
Spruill, shortstop Nick Ahmed
and first baseman Brandon
Drury. Prado, projected to play
third base for the Diamondbacks, can become a free agent
after this season.
Upton, who has five-plus major league seasons but still is
just 25 years old, will join older
brother B.J. Upton, who recently
signed a free agent contract with
Atlanta. The younger Upton,
who has three years and $38.5
million left on his contract, had
been the subject of trade speculation throughout the offseason
and vetoed a trade to the Seattle
Mariners.
Prado, who joins fellow Venezuelan Miguel Montero in
Arizona, made the All-Star
team in 2010 as a second baseman and played mostly in left
field last season. A versatile
infielder, Prado was projected
to move to third base for the
Braves this season to replace

the retired Chipper Jones.
Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall said via Twitter that
the team wants to sign Prado to
a long-term deal.
“This is the type of player we
want in our lineup,” he wrote.
The Braves didn’t re-sign centerfielder and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn and Prado, the No.
2 hitter behind Bourn, had been
a candidate to hit leadoff. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons now
is expected to assume that role.
Simmons hit .289 with a .335 onbase percentage in 49 games as a
rookie last season.
Arizona had accumulated a
glut of outfielders, signing Cody
Ross as a free agent last month.
Upton was the most marketable.
Upton, the No. 1 overall pick
in the 2005 draft, raced through
the minors and came up to the
big league club in August 2007
at age 19. He made the NL AllStar team in 2009 and 2011.
Upton has played five full major league seasons, so his best
years could well be ahead of
him. Last season, he hit .280
with 17 home runs and 67 RBIs
but did score a career-high 107
runs. In 2011, while helping Arizona to its surprising NL West
crown, Upton hit .289, with 31
home runs and 88 RBIs — the
latter two categories are career
bests — and finished fourth in
NL MVP voting. Overall, he’s a

career .278 hitter with 108 home
runs, 739 hits, 147 doubles and
80 stolen bases.
Delgado, a 23-year-old righthander, had been expected
to challenge for a spot in the
Braves rotation. His acquisition bolsters the young pitching
depth in Arizona depleted by the
trade of Trevor Bauer. Delgado
was 4-9 with a 4.37 ERA in 18
appearances, 17 as a starter, for
the Braves. Rated Atlanta’s No.
3 prospect by Baseball America
the past two years, he was 4-3
with a 4.06 ERA with Triple-A
Gwinett last season.
The trade leaves Arizona with
three veteran outfielders —
Ross, Jason Kubel and Gerardo
Parra — along with two youngsters the team feels are ready for
the majors — Adam Eaton and
A.J. Pollock. General manager
Kevin Towers has praised Eaton’s potential as a center fielder
and leadoff hitter.
Johnson was acquired by the
Diamondbacks on July 29 from
Houston and batted .286 with
seven doubles, seven home runs
and 35 RBIs in 44 games with
Arizona. In Atlanta, he could
platoon at third with Juan Francisco.
“Really enjoyed my time in Arizona,” Johnson said in a tweet.
“Thank you to the Diamondbacks organization and fans for
your hospitality!”

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Joe Gibbs Racing announced Thursday that Kyle Busch has signed a long-term
extension to continue driving the No. 18 Toyota Camry.
In addition, JGR will field the No. 54 Monster Energy
Toyota in the Nationwide Series for at least 25 races with
Busch as the primary driver. Terms of the deal were not
disclosed.
Busch, who has won 24 NASCAR Sprint Cup races and
made the Chase for the Cup five times since 2005, said
he chose to stay with JGR after weighing offers from two
other ownership groups.
“It’s something that is really exciting that we’ve been
working on for a long time,” Busch said. “I probably took
a few years off coach’s life, but hopefully not. I’ll repay
him somehow, maybe with some championships.”
Busch has 105 career wins spanning all three NASCAR
series, including 51 in the Nationwide Series. However,
the 27-year-old Busch is coming off a disastrous season
by his own standards.
He finished 13th in the Sprint Cup standings and
missed the Chase. And while he ranked second in the Cup
in laps led, he only found Victory Lane once and finished
the year with 13 top-five finishes after winning a combined 19 races the previous four years.
Busch ran his own car in the Nationwide Series and was
winless in 22 races, posting three seconds and two thirds
after winning 40 races in the previous four seasons. He
competed in three events on the Camping World Truck
series but failed to win there, too.
He called it his “worst season ever.”
During negotiations, Busch said, Gibbs was “adamant”
about Busch racing JGR cars during the Nationwide series, which he feels will give him a better chance to win.
“So I will be rejoining forces here and running about 25
races and then filling out the rest of the races with some
younger talent in the non-companion races,” Busch said.
Busch said he feels comfortable working for Gibbs,
which made the decision to return fairly easy. Of course,
the lucrative contract didn’t hurt either.
“The good news is we signed him to a long-term deal,
the bad news is we now work for him — and we’re broke,”
Gibbs joked.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday,
Jan. 25, 2013:
This year, you often juggle different views, feelings and thoughts.
You wonder whether to do what you
feel or do what you think. Others are
attracted to you, as clearly you are
a people-person. Your charisma is
high this year, too. If you are single,
there is a constant flow of potential
suitors. Know that there always are
more just around the corner! If you
are attached, a newfound intensity
emerges, especially if you defer to
your sweetie. LEO is proud. Be careful — do not offend him or her.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH You could encounter a
misunderstanding or a problematic situation. If you let yourself get
sucked into it, it could ruin a creative
moment. Communication accelerates, as your personal life weaves
into your professional life. Don’t
worry — you can handle it. Tonight:
Let the fun begin.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH What you thought about
doing today just might not happen.
Others’ demands or interests very
well could distract you. You might
feel a need to turn your attention
elsewhere. Friends and loved ones
do appreciate your efforts. Tonight:
Let the good times rock and roll.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Speak you mind, but realize that not everyone has a similar
opinion. Be open to other ideas or to
someone else putting down what you
believe to be a nugget of wisdom.
You’ll still get your way. It is hard
to turn you down. Tonight: Out and
about, strutting your stuff.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You could discover that a
creative idea falls flat. Let go, and let
others find a different response or
solution. Focus on what you enjoy.
Make a point of going out to buy that
special present or token of affection.
Express your caring and do not hold
back. Tonight: Your treat.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH A little reticence disappears quickly. You could make a big
deal out of a problem, or you could
decide to let it go. Others are only
too happy to meet with you, both
professionally and personally. You
don’t need to make something a bigger issue than it is. Tonight: Prime
time!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Honor your energy level. If
you feel discouraged by a conversation or a situation, try not to give it to
much attention, especially as there is
little you can do until later. Get into a
project that involves interacting less
with others. Tonight: Make plans, but
keep them low-key.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You might have the best
intentions and want to keep a meeting all business, yet you might discover a problem. Acknowledge what
is going on behind the scenes. You
might not even have a choice, as it is
obvious that someone intrigues you.
Tonight: TGIF! You need a break.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH When others flake out,
who steps up to the plate? You don’t
need to look around. You are at your
best when you are in the position of
handling a problem. You like feeling
empowered, and you resent situations that are out of control. Tonight:
A must appearance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Deal with others directly,
and open up to someone about what
you feel is a difficult situation. You
might hear that you are creating the
problem in your head. Try revising
your thinking, and you will see the
situation from a different perspective.
Tonight: Be a duo.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Listen to your inner voice,
and you might realize that you’re not
on the right course for you. Others
might disagree. At what point do you
decide to go about this matter alone?
Don’t worry — a partner or business
associate will come to the rescue.
Tonight: Join a close friend.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Defer to others, and listen
to their fears. A boss might be very
difficult, and your approach might
not be appropriate. Others’ suggestions don’t seem to work, either. You
might want to deliberate carefully on
an important decision. Tonight: Say
“yes” to an invitation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You can move through a
project quickly once you confront the
first obstacles. Good will and support among those who are involved
does make a big difference. Be more
upbeat, and a family member or
loved one won’t be able to say no.
Tonight: Stay mellow.
