David Sigman, of the New Haven American Legion, and Ray Varian, commander of the Mason VFW Post 9926, were in attendance and Sigman read a selection entitled “Defend America” from the Navy Office of America. The piece stated, “The devastation of 9/11 will always linger in American’s minds the further it recedes in days, weeks, and months, the more and more it becomes a reminder of why we’re fighting this war in the first place. In the ashes with more than 3,000 people dead or missing, countless more lives were devastated, 2,000 children lost parents and at just one business in the World Trade Center, more than 50 pregnant widows were left behind.” The selection discussed several topics associated with the War on Terror such as reasons to why this specific war is considered unconventional such as this war is being fought on many fronts and the success of this war will be seen at the end result; this war requires financial efforts because terrorists need funding to carry out their “evil deeds;” this war requires diplomacy because terrorists need state sponsors and the U.S. needs international partners; this war needs law enforcement to bring terrorists and those who support them to justice. “Our enemy is physically unlike any we have ever encountered,” the piece stated.

James gives everybody their share of the money.” The original emergency call to report Thivener’s death by the individual who discovered him described the hammer strike as a gun shot, said prosecution. According to prosecution, over the course of the investigation nothing revealed that an accompanying passenger or the driver knew what was going to take place when the Drummonds met with Thivener. “Once it got out as to what happened to (Thivener), the individuals that drove came to law enforcement to say what happened,” said Holdren. “Drummond was then on the run and there was a manhunt through (Gallipolis) before he was apprehended. Search warrants were executed at the home where the murder took place and a search warrant was also executed at a home on State Street.” Holdren said surveillance footage was pulled from nearby schools and businesses to create a timeline of Drummond as he traveled Gallipolis before he disposed of the hammer in a dumpster off Third Avenue. Law enforcement was not From page 1 Drummond’s conviction. Two alternate theories of murder were dismissed as well as an aggravated robbery charge, a first-degree felony, and tampering with evidence, a thirddegree felony. “We’re dealing with a lab that’s dealing with forensics, DNA and different witnesses,” said Gallia Prosecutor Jason Holdren,” and when you look at a family that’s had a loved one taken from them and they’re telling you we want closure as quickly as possible, we (prosecution) want to make sure that (Drummond) is held accountable for his actions, which we believe that happened today with the aggravated murder conviction. It’s also our job to protect the public at large. If we can do that while satisfying the family, that’s a win. This resolution is something that they were very much a part of and had been a part of for the last year…They were onboard and satisfied with this result to provide closure so that they can not move on, but they can at least begin to move forward.” Holdren said that sometimes one could not predict what a jury would decide during a criminal justice proceeding. According to Holdren, on July 30, 2017, Drummond was in need of methamphetamine. He had lost his job two to three days prior to the death of Thivener. “He knew that Robert Thivener would have money in his pocket or at his home,” said Holdren. “He knew that if he could get his hands on it, he could get his next meth fix.” A relative of Drummond was reportedly dating Thivener at the time and the victim and defendant had reportedly known each other for an extended period of time. Law enforcement investigation revealed that Drummond arranged a ride with two other individuals, including his sister Izail, to travel to a residence where Thivener would be present. A bag was taken with “coveralls,” the prosecutor said, as well as a claw hammer. “Izail goes up as well (to the residence) and James Drummond comes behind Robert (Thivener) and strikes him multiple times to the head and causes his death,” said Holdren. “(Drummond) and his sister then go back down the driveway to where their vehicle MEIGS WELLNESS CENTER presents Con d c to u A SOUN D wo in m r rkout fo able to retrieve the hammer as it was reportedly buried in the dump by the time officers watched the surveillance footage.

We need to defend ourselves from these threats no matter where they come from, transformation requires innovation, creative thinking, and risk taking,” the piece stated. The selection explained the most successful defense strategy against terrorism is a good offense and discussed how this war is not only a military imperative, but also an economical one.

There are 110 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On Sept. 12, 1942, during World War II, a German U-boat off West Africa torpedoed the RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war, British soldiers and civilians; it’s estimated more than 1,600 people died while some 1,100 survived after the ship sank. The German crew, joined by other U-boats, began rescue operations. (On September 16, the rescue effort came to an abrupt halt when the Germans were attacked by a U.S. Army bomber; as a result, U-boat commanders were ordered to no longer rescue civilian survivors of submarine attacks.) On this date In 1846, Elizabeth Barrett secretly married Robert Browning at St. Marylebone Church in London. In 1914, during World War I, the First Battle of the Marne ended in an Allied victory against Germany. In 1953, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in Newport, Rhode Island. In 1958, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Cooper v. Aaron, unanimously ruled that Arkansas officials who were resisting public school desegregation orders could not disregard the high court’s rulings. In 1959, the Soviet Union launched its Luna 2 space probe, which made a crash landing on the moon. The TV Western series “Bonanza” premiered on NBC. In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy addressed questions about his Roman Catholic faith, telling the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, “I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me.” In 1977, South African black student leader and anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, 30, died while in police custody, triggering an international outcry. In 1986, Joseph Cicippio, the acting comptroller at the American University in Beirut, was kidnapped (he was released in December 1991). In 1987, reports surfaced that Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden had borrowed, without attribution, passages of a speech by British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock for one of his own campaign speeches. (The Kinnock report, along with other damaging revelations, prompted Biden to drop his White House bid.) In 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour blasted off, carrying with it Mark Lee and Jan Davis, the first married couple in space; Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space; and Mamoru Mohri, the first Japanese national to fly on a U.S. spaceship.

THEIR VIEW Remind me again who the experts were I began my career in teaching immediately after graduating from Wittenberg University in 1976, which means that for the last 42 years I have been working with children in a school setting. When I am asked how kids have changed during these last four decades, my answer is always the same. They have not changed much at all. But, the adults around them certainly have. The children of today need the same things those of us who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s needed. They need the adults in their lives to provide them with structure and discipline and to hold them accountable for the choices they make and the actions they take. They need the people charged with raising them to love and protect them, and they deserve to be cared for physically, stimulated mentally, developed socially, and nurtured emotionally. They need parents who teach them right from wrong as well as how to navigate the difficulties life throws at all of us. In other words, nothing much has changed. Because the children of (or on the streets, today are exposed police officers will to substantially tell you), the first more than we were question asked is exposed to, people what happened often mistakenly to “make” the assume that they child act a cerare more savvy and tain way or who capable of handling Tom “wronged” him whatever they see Dunn and hear far better Contributing or her, “because my child would than previous gen- columnist never act that way erations could.

(or worse). There were They would indignantly no debates, inquisitions, claim that their child told or compromises. That’s them they didn’t commit just the way it was. That is no longer true. whatever act they were As often as not, if a child accused of committing, gets into trouble at school and they believed their child because “he/she would never lie to me.” Uh, yeah they would if it meant keeping their hide out of the fire. We see examples in the news every day of adults lying to avoid consequences for their actions. Why would we believe children would behave any differently? It doesn’t mean they’re bad. It only means they are human. I can honestly say that there was never an instance when I got into trouble in my youth when my parents were interested in my version of the events. They were wise enough to realize that whatever my story was going to be would put me in the best possible light, because that’s what people do. Today, more than a half century later, I am no worse for the wear because of their philosophy. My psyche was not destroyed. I knew my parents loved me, as I did them, and life turned out just fine. But, the standards were very clear as to who was establishing and enforcing the rules. And, it wasn’t me. That is too often no longer the case. At some point during See EXPERTS | 5 THEIR VIEW A weighty issue for parents, kids One of my daughters was quite upset recently, crying and complaining that she was “fat.” She grabbed a tiny handful of her belly, perhaps enough to hold half a candy bar, as her evidence. She’s still a preteen, and she’s still growing, but it’s safe to say she isn’t fat. She didn’t want to eat. When she did eat, she only wanted to eat “healthy” options, which in her version wasn’t a terribly balanced diet. Her mother tried to comfort her, telling her that she was just growing into her body and definitely wasn’t fat. She’s an analytic sort, so I tried entering her numbers into a body mass index calculator to show her she’s within the normal range for her age. washboard abs (yet She didn’t unwilling to work believe it.

It’s about being able to do all the things you want to do. It’s about being healthy enough to enjoy your life. I’m committing to myself and to my children that I’ll stop joking about my belly. It’s too important for their future to think it’s OK to hate your own body. There’s always room for improvement in your diet and your physique, but it helps no one to just make fun of it. I just hope our children can learn that maybe we were wrong before. It’s better to be happy and healthy than to obsess over your body type. David Trinko is managing editor of The Lima News, a division of AIM Media Midwest. �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Experts Brooker my lifetime, behavioral “experts” decided that hurting a child’s feelings, or backside, for that matter, caused irreparable harm to their ego. Parents were implored to explore their child’s feelings to try to understand the reason (aka, excuse) for the misbehavior instead of setting standards and holding him or her accountable to them without reservation. Despite what these “experts” told us, growing up naively like we did with the understanding that adults carried more power than we did and with a little healthy fear of doing wrong didn’t destroy us. Not receiving participation trophies didn’t shatter our confidence. It was not until the “experts” convinced us how misguided our parents were that childhood violence reached catastrophic levels and depression diagnoses in children skyrocketed. Perhaps, despite what the “experts” proclaimed, their way wasn’t better. And, maybe our parents weren’t so stupid after all.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — First, Brad Keselowski figured out the secret to restarting at the Brickyard 400. Then he safely and strategically bumped his way into the lead and sped to the finish line. One year after settling for second in a chaotic, crashmarred race last year, Keselowski redeemed himself by earning his second straight major win and finally giving team owner Roger Penske the elusive Brickyard win. The 2010 Cup champion got past race leader Denny Hamlin on the second-to-last lap and beat Erik Jones to the finish line by 0.904 seconds. Hamlin finished third. “Last year, I lost this race almost the exact same way. To bring it home this way, after messing up last year, is just incredible,” Keselowski said. “We were hoping this would be No. 500 and the Brickyard, but that’s all right.” Penske certainly won’t be complaining about getting win No. 499 on the same historic 2.5-mile oval where he has won a record 17 Indianapolis 500 crowns. His first win 25 Cup tries at his favorite racing venue came on one of the rare days he wasn’t actually attending in the pits for the rain-delayed race. But Penske now joins Chip Ganassi as the only owners to win the Indy double in the same season. Will Power captured his first 500 win in May, while Dario Franchitti and Jamie McMurray both won at the Brickyard in 2010 for Ganassi. The timing couldn’t be better for Keselowski. He heads into the first round of the playoffs with momentum following wins at the Southern 500 and the Brickyard. And he earned this one the hard way. He stayed close off the final restart with three laps to go, then quickly chased down Hamlin, running side by side with the race leader briefly on Lap 159. At one point, the cars touched but both drivers maintained control and Keselowski made the decisive move in the front straightaway just as the white flag started to come out. Nobody got close again. “Not having guys in the back See SWEEP | 7 Lady Lancers fend off Southern By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com STEWART, Ohio — The third game was the charm, but unfortunately it was the only one. The Southern volleyball team fell behind TriValley Conference Hocking Division host Federal Hocking by a 2-0 count, but won the third game in impressive fashion. However, the Lady Lancers sealed the match with a nine-point victory in the fourth game. The first game of the night featured five ties, but the Lady Lancers never trailed and ultimately won the opener by a 25-14 count. Southern (0-6, 0-4 TVC Hocking) claimed its first lead of the night at 11-10 in the second game, but Federal Hocking scored the next three points and led the rest of the way to the 25-15 victory. Following a pair of early lead changes in the third game, Southern opened up an eight-point, 20-12 lead. The Lady Lancers fought back to within two points, at 20-18, but the Lady Tornadoes scored five of the next six points and took the 25-19 win. The Lady Lancers led wire-to-wire in the final game, scoring the first six points on their way to the 25-16 triumph. Southern finished with a 42.2 side-out percentage and a 91.5 serve percentage, while FHHS had a side-out percentage of 54.3. Baylee Wolfe led the Lady Tornadoes with 11 points, including three aces. Baylee Grueser was next with six points and one ace, followed by Sydney Adams with five points and two aces. Kassie Barton had four service points, Phoenix Cleland and Marissa Brooker each added two points, while Peyton Anderson and Saelym Larsen had a point apiece. Wolfe also led Southern at the net with 10 kills and two blocks. Cleland added six kills and two blocks, Brooker came up with two kills, Adams and Abby Cummins each had one kill, while Larsen chipped in with two blocks. Federal Hocking was led by Lindsey Parsons with 18 points. The Purple and Gold will get another shot at FHHS on Oct. 1 in Racine. After a non-conference tri-match at Meigs on Saturday, Southern will resume league play at South Gallia on Tuesday. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

Of course, because this is Cleveland, where quarterback criticism is passed down through generations, much of the postgame blame was directed at Taylor, who completed just 15 of 40 passes, got sacked seven times and missed a few open receivers in his first start for the Browns. But despite Taylor’s struggles, Jackson crushed any speculation he’s ready to turn his offense over to rookie Baker Mayfield anytime soon. “He is the quarterback,” Jackson said of Taylor. Jackson stiffened when he was asked what kind of leash he intends to have on Taylor, who was acquired in March from Buffalo and will start until the Browns feel the No. 1 overall pick May- field is ready. “Leash?” Jackson said. “We are trying to win. His job is to get the offense to play the best that it can play, but it takes more than just him. I know the sentiment I am getting here is that it is him. It is not. “It is the offensive unit as a whole. Got to play better. Whether that is newness or whatever it is, I do not want to get caught up in all of that.” Taylor had moments of indecisiveness Sunday, but that may have had as much to do with Pittsburgh’s pass rush and an offense with several new faces, including rookie left tackle Desmond Har- rison. But while supporting his QB, Jackson acknowledged that Taylor underthrew receiver Josh Gordon on a potential big play and he needs to be more accurate. “Improve, complete the ball,” Jackson said when asked what Taylor needs to do for the Browns to win on Sunday at New Orleans.

It wasn’t a loss. It was … weird. Seventy minutes of flags, fumbles and the occasional fight. Forgive the Pittsburgh Steelers if they’re not quite sure what to make of their 21-21 tie against Cleveland in the season opener. A full day removed, they still can’t quite put a finger on how to feel after a 14-point fourth-quarter lead somehow morphed into the franchise’s first tie in 16 years. “Very surreal,” guard David DeCastro said on Monday. “I don’t think it’s really settled in yet. It feels like a wash … It’s a very foreign feeling in terms of football. Really hard game all around, kind of hard to describe.” And for the defending AFC North champions, maybe the less said the better. The Steelers (0-0-1) outgained the Browns by 150 yards and received a breakout performance by running back James Conner, who had 192 combined yards. They sacked Tyrod Taylor seven times — including four times by outside linebacker TJ Watt, they were also called for a dozen penalties and couldn’t hold on to the ball. Ben Roethlisberger threw three picks and fumbled twice. Conner scored twice, but also fumbled in the fourth quarter to give the Browns all the momentum they would need to start a stunning rally. It also started what the Steelers understand is a familiar cycle once the games start to count. Every Monday, everybody overreacts. “Win or lose going to get the same questions from the fans, question from the media, they want to frame it every week the same way,” said left tackle Alejandro Villanueva, who had trouble keeping Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett in check on a day Garrett had two sacks and two forced fumbles. “It is upsetting when you come up with results like Sunday against a team you should potentially beat.” Something the Steelers have done with regularity against the Browns since Cleveland re-entered the league in 1999. Yet instead of the typically raucous two-hour bus ride back to Pittsburgh, the Steelers drove quietly through the remnants of a hurricane trying not to get caught up in the storm.

They have finished in the top 10 in most penalty yards in a season just once since 2013. They believe they’ll get better.
