ALBANY- The first electronics recovery program in Southeastern Oh·io
has been launched by Reuse Industries with grant money provided by the ·
Foundation for Appalachian Ohio.
Reuse Industries, which serves Meigs County, takes into its electroniq
recovery program outdated clBctronics fron\ organizations and individual s
in .southem and central Ohio. It then recycles the donations completely,
thereby keeping the unwanted electronics and their hazardous components
out of landfills.
The $18,000 grant was made by the f6undation in its 2003 -2004 grant cycle
as part of its grant making efforts to support "home grown" economic development activities.
According to -ReUse Industries. 70
percent of loads that enter landfills
have recyclable t~lectronic components in them . Electronic campo:
nents contain materials that are haz:
ardous if not recycled p.:Operly, .
including lead, mercury. barium. cadmium. chromium. lithium and nickel.

lead to sei;ious respiratory .and nervous system prof&gt;lems.
·
On the second floor of the sales
barn, the unwanted electronics go
through a variety of tests to see if
they can be refurbished and sold to
the public at a fraction of the cost of
new. If the electronics cannot be
refurbished, they are de-mamifactured, or broken down into their most
basic components for recycling.

Temperatures are expected to be in the single digits
at night and below freezing during the day, meaning
residential power demand will be high.
There is no shortage of power; however, consumer
rates can increase if demand sets a new record.
Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative urges its mem~
bers to help the system avoid a peak demand situation by following a few simple energy conservation
practices:
• Please limit your use of hot water whenever
possible. Electric water heater thermostats can be
set back a few degrees to save on energy
consumption ;
·
• Turn back the thermostat of electric heaters/fur
naces a few degrees.
• Use only one major electrical appliance at a time.
• Reduce lighting. Turn off lights in room.s not being
occupied and at bedtime . .
• Block cracks around window frames or under out
side doors to prevent infiltration of cold air.
• If you don't have storm windows or ·doors, cover
frames with plastic sheeting.
Finally, remember to be aware of electrical and fire
hazards at all times .

Pray for peace
Dear Editor:
As Americuns, have we forgotten that there .is a living God
who sits about all of us in justice and JUdgment?.Thut nature
sometimes can deliver hard. sometimes terrible, blows in the
form of storms and floods'!
That while as humans we consider ourselves Lord and
Masters over the earth and all that live on it that there are still
things bevond oor ability to corttrol them.
Have
forgotten that in the past America has fought and .
won the two greate~t wars in history, wars not started by us?
Wars that we did not want but were forced upon us, to sav~ the
people of the world from the evil that would enslave us all.
That if we go looking for war. we may someday find it with
those who are able and willing to use chemical. biological,
and even ·nuclear weapons .against us and our allies.
That when we let our military plan and carry out the war,
most often we win and do so in the shortest possible time. The
Gulf War was over within just I 00 hours because we let our
military fight the war as they as professionals saw fit. The war
we are now fighting in Iraq has cost more than 1,000 lives and
more than $450 billion. Have we forgotten that the best part
. of war is . it to end and our troops come home? Have we forgotten that every life lost is one too many and can never be
. replaced. Have we forgotten to ask God for it to end, for us to
have peace? And have we forgotten that one of the greatest
gifts that we can ever give is the gift of peace. Let us ask God
to give that gift to all of us an.d the world as soon as. possible.

POMEROY -No current taxes are being co llected at
this time, Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank
announced this morning .
He said that tax bills have not yet been received from the
computer company which prepares them.
"As soon as I receive the tax bills I will put a legal notice in
the newspaper. Taxpayers will then have 30 qays in which to
pay their taxes," said Frank ..

Inspector: Million~ in Medicaid
overpayments going uncollected
, Bv EUZABETH DEFOREST
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

COLUMBUS - The state
Medicaid agency has failed ·
to collect millions of dollars
in overpayments for incorrect
or fraudulent bills from doc,
tors and hospitals, according
to a state inspector's report
issued Wednesday.
A team of 30 claims investigators at the Department of Job
and Family Sc;rvices are likely
missing some cases when
money could be collected and
are not pursuing reimbursements aggressively enough,
the report by the Office of the
Inspector General said.
The agency collects $2 million annually for overpayments, but the state likely is
billed up to $500 to $700 million in fraudulent and incorrect bills based on the typical
number of such claims, said
Joe Montgomery, deputy
inspector generaL
"We do save millions per
year. due to the prevention of
fraud, waste and other abuse.
But at the same time wO.:realize that this is a good time to
discuss what that proper balance should be," Job and
Family Services spokesman
Dennis Evans said.
The report said the· agency
· cou.ld be collecting tens of millions of dollars more in reim-

bursemetlls for the $10 billion
health insurance program for
the poor. Montgomery said
there is no way to determine a
more specitic number for the
amount that could be collected·.
The agency has 90 days to
come up with corrective
measures. The report suggested increasing the emphasis on fraud detection and
revenue recovery.
Former agency Director
Tom Hayes, who recently left
io lead the Ohio Lottery
Commission •. said the department put its money toward
educating
he.alth
care
providers abqut overbilling
rather than chasing payouts.
The report says education is a
laudable goal but does not
solve overpayment problems.
Several examples of recovery efforts suggest the
agency is not getting as much
as it is entitled to.
. In 200 I, the department
sent a notice to a transportation company saying it owed
$605,150. An attorney for the
company called the audit
findings "silly," and the matter was settled for $409.15.
A laboratory company was
told in 2002 to return more than
$2 million in overpayments. It
eventually Settled for $50,000.
The inspection started in
July after the inspector 's
office learned the agency was

not cooperating with other
groups that handle Medicaid.
"What we're saying is the
.opportunity to identify and
collect tens of millions of
dollars is there if all of the
entities worked as a better
team," Montgomery said.
The inspection cited a
"bunker mentality" of refusing to act on outside suggestions and criticism.
"We' re recommending that
they take a hard look at their
current
practices,"
Montgomery said.
·
· Evans downplayed the
report, saying the finding s
present a different management style, but that other state
agencies are also responsible
for assuring that Medicaid
money ts spent prophly.
.
'The argument comes
. down to what means you use
to do that," Evans said. "It
comes down to a matter of
philosophy, of how far you
go one way or another."
Evans said the agency was
willing to address some collection issues, but was not admitting to doing anything wrong.
"We certainly wouldn't say
that we' ve committed any
wrongdoing,"
he
said.
"There are areas that we
could mak.e improvements,
but that's a whole different
thing than saying that things
were done wrong."

Terrell Owens is treating his

and forging ahead.
Philadelphia Eagles hea\1
trainer Rick Burkholder said
Wednesday that Owens started jogging and plans to continue rehabbing his injured
ankle in an attempt to play in
the Super Bowl.
Dr. Mark Myerson, the sur-.

in
December, said Tuesday he
would not clear Owen s to suit
up against the New England

Patriots on Feb: 6.
"We
understand
Dr.
Myerson's point of view. It's
just that our 'risk-reward is
different than his riskreward," Burkholder said.
"He has great risk in cleari ng
Terrell to play and no reward.
We think there's some ri sk
and we think tht!re's great
reward, so right now we're
going to progress with his
rehab."
The final decision on
Owen s' statu s will come
down to the. player, coac.h

"We 're never going to put

Ravens RB Lewis sentenced to fou~ months in federal drug case
R. WEBER

BY HARRY

ATLANTA - Baltimore
Rave ns runni ng back Jamal
Lewis was se ntenced to fou r
months in jail Wednesday
for using a ce ll phone 10 try
to set up a dru g deal about 4
112 years ago .
The sentence iss ued in
federal court was what
Lewis expec ted under ali
agreeme nt reached with
pros.ecutors in October.
Lewis, who tried to set up
the deal a few month s after
he was the No. 5 overall
pick in the 2000 NFL draft ,
also will spend two months
in a halfway house and perform 500 hours of community service fol lowing his
pri so n term.
Prosec utors · agreed to
drop more &gt;eriov&gt; drug conspiracy arid attempted
cocaine possession c.harges.
'Tm trul y sorry fo r what I
did ," Lewis said to U.S.
Orinda
District
Judge
Evans.
Explainin g the short sentence, the judge sa id the
government didn 't have a
strong case and noted .' the
only witness again st Lew is
was an informant with a

length y crim inal record.
Evans said she was also
giv ing Lewis "credi t for
steppi ng up to the bar" and
ad mitting hi s gui lt.
Lewis will have a few
, days before beginning his
sentence so -a cast can be
removed from hi s, right
ank le, the judge sa id. Lewis
recently had foot surgery.
· Lewis was suspe nded for
two games by the NFL after
hi s guilty plea; the Ravens
finished ·the season 9-7 and
mi ssed the playoffs.
Lewis, a form er star at
Tennessee, could have faced

POMEROY- After not 'paying parking meters for more

should be aware that st~rting

on her beat.
Meter heads, removed when
the flood waters came up, were

village workers.
From Thanksgiving through
New Year's Day the meters
were "freed" as the village's
holiday gift to merchants and
their customers.
By that time flood waters were
moving into town and the .meter
heads were removed so they
wouldn't be damaged.
The threat of a second Januaty
flood further delayed getting the
meters back into operation, giving motorists additional time of
parking without paying.
But today it's all over. Motorists
are reminded that meters are
