Director of Environmental Health Steve Swatzel was on hand to discuss the changes to the fees, which will go into effect Jan. 1. The fee changes are due to the Ohio Department of Health’s adoption of new statewide sewage treatment system regulations. The new regulations, which were approved at the end of October, establish new stan- dards for system construction, alternation and maintenance when a system fails or breaks and must be altered or replaced or when a system is installed. Swatzel said that, when the regulations go into effect, existing sewage systems will not need upgrades. All existing systems are approved by state law. The goal of the statewide regulations was to update rules that were established in 1977 to provide a wide range of sewage system choices and technologies for new or replacement sewage systems. These rules would be set by the counties in Ohio. Swatzel said that several states had regulations in place and Ohio was ready to catch up. One of the fees that will be required will be for a renewable permit to operate a new sewage system for five years. The permit will be issued by the health department and will cost $50. The permits will not be immediately available for all counties. “It’ll be a challenge for the department to keep track of all the permits, but I don’t think it’ll be a problem with this community,” Swatzel said. Swatzel wanted to assure the community that the health department will not be going door to door to check every system, so it will be up to the owners of the system to keep system maintenance and call the department if something is amiss. Inspections of sewage systems will only be available under state law, with Swatzel citing nuisance or danger to the public health as examples of when an inspection would be done. Another new regulation introduced was a soil evaluation done by a “soil scientist,” which is required to be done prior to the site review. The evaluation will not be part of the fees. The regulation also says that the “soil scientist” or contractor may also be able to design the sewage treatment system. Several of the fees discussed at the hearing included a $25 permit to permanently abandon a sewage treatment system, which is a new fee; a $100 inspection fee for an existing system for home sale or operational inspection; and a $25 Ohio Department of Health fee for a permit to install a sewage treatment system For more information on the fee changes or any information on the new regulations, contact the Meigs County Health Department.

Submitted photo Associated Press WASHINGTON — The detective work blaming North Korea for the Sony hacker break-in appears so far to be largely circumstantial, The Associated Press has learned. The dramatic conclusion of a Korean role is based on subtle clues in the hacking tools left behind and the involvement of at least one computer in Bolivia previously traced to other attacks blamed on the North Koreans. Experts cautioned that hackers notoriously employ disinformation to throw investigators off their tracks, using borrowed tools, tampering with logs and inserting false references to language or nationality. The hackers are believed to have been conducting surveillance on the network at Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. since at least the spring, based on computer forensic evidence and traffic analysis, a person with knowledge of the investigation told the AP. If the hackers hadn’t made their presence known by making demands and destroying files, they probably would still be inside because there was no indication their presence was about to be detected, the person said. This person, who described the evidence as circumstantial, spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk openly about the case. Still, the evidence has been considered conclusive enough that a U.S. official told the AP that federal investigators have now connected the Sony hacking to North Korea. In public, White House spokesman Josh Earnest on Thursday declined to blame North Korea, saying he didn’t want to get ahead of investigations by the Justice Department and the FBI. Earnest said evidence shows the hacking was carried out by a “sophisticated actor” with “malicious intent.” All this has led to a dilemma for the Obama administration: How and whether to respond? An earlier formal statement by the White House National Security Council also did not name North Korea but noted that “criminals and foreign countries regularly seek to gain access to government and private sector networks” and said “we are considering a range of options in weighing a potential response. “ The U.S. official who cited North Korea spoke on condition of anonymity because that official was not authorized to openly discuss an ongoing criminal case. U.S. options against North Korea are limited. The U.S. already has a trade embargo in place, and there is no appetite for military action. Even if investigators could identify and prosecute the individual hackers believed responsible, there’s no guarantee that any who are overseas would ever see a U.S. courtroom. Hacking back at North Korean targets by U.S. government experts could encourage further attacks against American targets. “We don’t sell them anything, we don’t buy anything from them and we don’t have diplomatic relations,” said William Reinsch, a former senior U.S. Commerce Department official who was responsible for enforcing international sanctions against North Korea and other countries. “There aren’t a lot of public options left.” Sony abruptly canceled the Dec. 25 release of its comedy, “The Interview,” which the hackers had demanded partly because it included a scene depicting the assassination of North Korea’s leader. Sony cited the hackers’ threats of violence at movie theaters that planned to show the movie, although the Homeland Security Department said there was no credible intelligence of active plots. The hackers had been releasing onto the Internet huge amounts of highly sensitive — and sometimes embarrassing — confidential files they stole from inside Sony’s computer network. North Korea has publicly denied it was involved, though it has described the hack as a “righteous deed.” The episode is sure to cost Sony many millions of dollars, though the eventual damage is still anyone’s guess. In addition to lost box-office revenue from the movie, the studio faces lawsuits by former employees angry over leaked Social Security numbers and other personal information. And there could be damage beyond the one company. Sony’s decision to pull the film has raised concerns that capitulating to criminals will encourage more hacking. “By effectively yielding to aggressive acts of cyberterrorism by North Korea, that decision sets a troubling precedent that will only empower and embolden bad actors to use cyber as an offensive weapon even more aggressively in the future,” said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who will soon become chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He said the Obama administration has failed to control the use of cyber weapons by foreign governments. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on MSNBC that the administration was “actively considering a range of options that we’ll take in response to this attack.” The hacking attack could prompt fresh calls for North Korea to be declared a state sponsor of terrorism, said Evans Revere, a former State Department official and Northeast Asia specialist. North Korea was put on that American list of rogue states in 1988 but taken off in 2008 as the U.S. was involved in multination negotiations with the North on its nuclear weapons program. Evidence pinning specific crimes on specific hackers is nearly always imprecise, and the Sony case is no exception. Sony hired FireEye Inc.’s Mandiant forensics unit, which last year published a landmark report with evidence accusing a Chinese Army organization, Unit 61398, of hacking into more than 140 companies over the years. In the current investigation, security professionals examined blueprints for the hacking tools discovered in Sony’s network, the Korean language setting and time zone, and then traced other computers around the world used to help coordinate the break-in, Marshall President Stephen Kopp dies Associated Press How will US respond to Sony hack? By Eric Tucker and Tami Abdollah CORRECTION according to the person with knowledge about the investigation. Those computers were located in Singapore and Thailand, but a third in Bolivia had previously been traced to other attacks blamed on North Korea, the person told the AP. The tools in the Sony case included components to break into the company’s network and subsequently erase all fingerprints by rendering the hard drive useless. “The Internet’s a complicated place,” said Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at CrowdStrike Inc., a security company that has investigated past attacks linked to North Korea. “We’re talking about organizations that understand how to hide themselves, how to appear as if they’re coming from other places. To that end, they know that people are going to come looking for them. They throw things in the way to limit what you can do attribution on.” HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Marshall University President Stephen Kopp was remembered on Thursday as a devoted leader with a passion for higher education. Kopp became ill at home Wednesday night and was taken to a Huntington hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 9 p.m., Marshall said in a news release. The university did not provide details. Kopp was 63. “Dr. Kopp came to Marshall with a vision for growth and opportunity for its students, the faculty, the staff and the entire Huntington community,” Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said Thursday in a written statement. “Throughout his more than nine years as president, he dedicated himself every day to fulfilling that vision and ensuring the success of students not just at Marshall but across his adopted home state.” Kopp had served as Marshall’s president since 2005. During his tenure, he oversaw $200 million in new buildings and renovations, and Marshall established schools of pharmacy, physical therapy and public health. The university also reestablished an undergraduate engineering program. West Virginia University President Gordon Gee said he met with Kopp on Monday to discuss higher education priorities for the 2015 legislative session. “For the past nine years, his leadership at Marshall University and his passion for education has enriched not only the city of Huntington but the entire state of West Virginia. I, along with the entire Mountaineer family, appreciate his service, his dedication and his contributions. He will be greatly missed,” Gee said Thursday in a written statement. Michael Sellards, chairman of the university’s Board of Governors, said the school had “lost one of the most dedicated and long-serving presidents” in its history. “President Kopp was thoroughly devoted to Marshall University, and especially to its students,” Paul Hill, chancellor of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, said in a written statement. “Under his thoughtful leadership, Marshall has thrived as a place for students to learn, to grow, and to give back to our state and the people around them. Our higher education community is diminished by President Kopp’s passing.” At the Holzer Center for Joint Replacement, we provide quality orthopedic care for the patients we serve.

Do you envision that the presence of your child in this life brings forth a measure of hope to the world at large? What contribution for good will your child bring to the world? Terry and I have parented our sons with a sense of purpose and commitment, for we understand that God has a plan for each of them. God has this same concern in mind, for He factored His purposes in the births of several children. For example, God gave the prophet Hosea three children, who were purposeful in God’s plans for Israel. God also gave to Isaiah two sons about whom Isaiah said in 8:18, “Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and wonders in Israel …” The divine purposes of Isaiah’s two sons served as living messages that everlasting Father, the God was very active in Prince of Peace. Of the the affairs of the world. increase of His governThis sets the biting ment and peace there context for the words shall be no end, upon of Isaiah in 9:6, “For the throne of David, and unto us a child is born, upon His kingdom, to unto us a son is given order it, and to establish …” Though God sent Ron messages to the people Branch it with judgment and justice from henceforth through the births of Pastor even for ever…” Isaiah’s two sons, God These words surely sent an additional livset forth the divine purposes ing message to the people of found in the birth of God’s Son, Isaiah’s day, as well as a mesJesus Christ.

In noteworthy This special child was none other than Jesus Christ.

God has never backed off from His commitment to mankind, nor has He backed down from the standard of His commitment to mankind. Through Christ, God has made a commitment to our redemption. God committed His Son to bring us the truest of changes that would turn us from the power of Satan to the power of God. God committed His Son to reveal the peace of forgiveness of sins to a world tired, frustrated and subservient to the stranglehold of sin. God committed His Son as Light to capture our gaze, to give confidence to our soul, to disengage us from that dark- A HUNGER FOR MORE “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. … For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over His kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this” (Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 ESV). Ranking high among the many qualities on which we ponder during the Christmas season is that state of internal and external harmony that we call peace. In fact, so widely used is the word “peace” that it is a bit difficult to nail down due to its abstract nature. And its abstraction has, no doubt, something to do with our tendency to utilize it in a wide variety of ways, giving it so many facets that to do the word justice would be beyond our ability explain. What was meant, for example, when angels announcing Jesus’ birth cried out in the night sky, “Peace on earth, good will toward men!” in Luke 2:14? What do school choirs mean when they sing, “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me”? More important, however, is what Jesus meant when He said to the disciples, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid…. I have said these things to ness which attempts to rob us of our freedom of spirit and enthusiasm for life. Furthermore, through Christ, God has made a commitment to return and set up Heavenly government on this earth. Christ has not yet come back. Christ has not yet set up His government on earth. But, God is still committed to that purpose. Because Jesus Christ was born, the world is assured that God’s zeal ensures it. That is why we can declare, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” That is the reason the human heart can have hope. That is why each person can have peace. God’s child purposefully signals God’s commitment to us. How well do you reciprocate commitment to Him? The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

How really nothing more than an can a Believer know peace anthem about just trying to in his heart when buffeted by criticisms from the world without and by self-doubts from the world within his own heart? By knowing the One Who, in order to comfort twelve terrified men, calmed a storm-battered sea with the command, “Peace! Be still!” (see Mark 4:35-41). Today, in this stormbattered world and in our storm-battered lives, we will always find reasons to be afraid if we gaze only upon our trials and tribulations, if we believe only in what we can see, and if we trust only in our own abilities and wisdom. Such inward tempests only breed outward hostilities. Happily, we have a far greater reason to have peace. To experience it, we must only look upon the King Who was born to us in a lowly stable. To know it, we must only believe in the Savior Who laid down His life for us on an old wooden cross. To feel it, we must only trust in the Lord Who rose from the dead, defeating once and for all our greatest enemy, death. The message of Christmas is a message of peace. While the hope of God is a light shining into the dark despair of our mortal souls, the peace of God calms the storms of hate and fear that plague our human hearts. God’s peace brings an early spring to the winter of human apathy and bridges one life to another – even if in the past such lives were divided. Today, if people wish to have peace with one another, they do well to first embrace peace with God through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE The apostle John painted a picture of the heavenly throne in Revelation 4, declaring unto his readers the power, majesty and supremacy of the One who sits upon that throne. Also pictured by the beloved apostle were those who surrounded the throne: the servants of God. We read concerning their worship and among other things, those who praise God declare, ““You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things and by Your will they exist…” (Revelation 4:11) Our Lord God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the One who sent His only begotten Son unto us that we might have the forgiveness of our sins and the salvation of our souls, the Ruler omnipotent in the highest, is worthy. He has formed us. He has blessed us. He sustains us and we should be ever mindful of just how worthy He is. He is worthy of worship, service and emulation. Our God is worthy of worship. As the One who made us, He deserves recognition and honor. As the One who has given us every good gift, He deserves praise (cf. James 1:17). As the One who sent Christ, He deserves adoration and thanksgiving. Moreover, if one understands that God is worthy of worship, then one should also understand that the worship we present to God should be of the very best sort. God deserves better than lackluster praise. He genuinely is worthy of our best and anything less is unworthy. This means when we worship God we should do so with the full understanding of what we do, our minds fully engaged. We should likewise worship in all sincerity with our hearts centered on the action. As the scriptures say, we should worship with the spirit and the understand- ing (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:15) And Jesus reminds us, “God is spirit and those who would worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) Likewise, and related to the words of Christ, if God is worthy of worship, then He is also worthy to dictate how we should worship. Those who would presume to tell God how they are going to choose to worship Him, apart from His commands, are not worshipping in truth, and they are making their worship vain, or worthless (cf. Matthew 15:9) Our God is worthy of service. God has served man in many ways. He has given us life, breath and sustenance. Moreover, He gave us His Son, who in turn gave His life as a sacrifice for us. The apostle Paul observed that we should, in turn, make our lives a living sacrifice to Him, and that this is a reasonable act of service. (cf. Romans 12:1) Indeed, anything less than a total commitment to God and Christ is a sacrifice too paltry to be worthy of their nature. Practically speaking, this means that God does not want us to compartmentalize our lives, with worship and religion in one box, and work, family and leisure in others. Rather, our entire lives must be given over to what God would have us be doing. As God, this is what He deserves, and as man, this is our purpose. Therefore the wise man agrees with the words of the Bible, “fear God and keep His commandments; this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclessiastes 12:13) Our God is worthy of emulation. Men need good role models in life. The world is full of poor examples to follow, but there is always one perfect being whom we can emulate. God is perfect in righteousness, wisdom, love, justice, mercy, and truth. There is none like Him. And God wants us to look to Him and learn to be like Him, as His children. We are told, “Be holy as He is holy” (1 Peter 1:16). There is no one more worthy of imitation than God, and in Christ, we see how best to be like God (cf. John 14:6-8). God is worthy, and we should seek in all things to be pleasing to Him. We should worship Him, and as we worship Him, we should be mindful of the fact that He desires more than lip service; He wants the offerings of our hands as we do the good works He has created for us. But in order to do those good works, we must learn to be more and more like the one who made us. This is our calling in Christ, and God deserves nothing less than our faithfulness to His will. If you would learn how to better give God that which is His due, we invite you to worship and study with us at the Church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis. �Daily Sentinel LOCAL/INTERNATIONAL Friday, December 19, 2014 5A Putin: West wants to defang, declaw Russian bear By Laura Mills and Vladimir Isachenkov Putin’s support.

Johnson signs with Rio Grande By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing MERCERVILLE, Ohio — University of Rio Grande director of cross country/track & field Steve Gruenberg has announced the signing of South Gallia High School senior Alexis Johnson for the 2015-2016 school year. Johnson, a 5-foot-6 thrower, is the school record-holder in both the shot put and discus. She was also a member of the Tri-Valley Conference All-Academic Team. “I’m excited to grow as an athlete and a student at the University of Rio Grande. I consider it a great honor,” Johnson said. “I’ve hoped to become a collegiate athlete since my freshman year.” Johnson’s record throw for head coach Beth James’ squad in the shot put was 32-1.5, while her record in the discus stands at 88-0. “Alexis is a very bright student. I think that her ability to think about her technique will help her when she begins training with Burt Wood, our throws coach,” Gruenberg said. “I think she’ll improve quite a bit once she is trained year-round and has great teammates to help to push her every day in practice. I think that she’ll be a pleasure to work with.” Johnson, who plans to pursue a degree in Professional and Business Communications, also drew recruiting interest from Lake Erie College, but said the decision to sign with the RedStorm was a no-brainer. “My decision was made very easily,” she said. “Rio Grande feels like home to me.” And while her final year of competing for the Rebels still awaits, Johnson is anxiously awaiting the start of her career at Rio. “I’d like to improve, particularly in the discus, but I feel like I can bring a positive attitude and a lot of hard work to the program,” said Johnson. “My ultimate goal is to make amazing memories and reach my full potential.” Johnson is daughter of Tina and Kirk Johnson of Mercerville.

The Republican governor’s swearing-in ceremony is planned for 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 12 at the Southern Theater in Columbus, with a gala scheduled in the evening. Should the Ohio State Buckeyes defeat No. 1 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, the team would play that night in the championship game in Texas. If that’s the case, Kasich said, he would not change his events but attendees could expect access to bigscreen TVs. Kasich joked that if he’s the only person there with his wife, “it’ll be OK.” He says he hopes his kids would still come.

The win set the stage for a showdown with No. 24 North Carolina on Saturday. “Obviously, (North Carolina is) a tremendous team,” coach Thad Matta said. “A lot like a Louisville, they’re going to really try to pound the ball inside on us and rebound it. We’ve got to do a great job with that.” The Buckeyes (9-1) hope this matchup with a ranked team turns out better than the last one. They were down by 19 at the half at No. 5 Louisville on Dec. 2 and rallied before falling, 64-55. “We’re a smarter team now. We’ve been in big games before,” said Shannon Scott, who had 12 assists and seven steals to go with eight points against A&T. “We know what we did and what we shouldn’t do in this game. And we know the things that we did that can help us out. We’ll be ready.” Of course, the game against the Tar Heels carries extra significance for Scott, whose father, Charlie, ranks among the great players at North Carolina. “I can’t make it any (more important) than any other game we play this year,” he said. Kam Williams added 15 points in the second half for the Buckeyes, who hit 69 percent of their shots after the break to finish at 57 percent (35 of 62) from the field. “They scored 40 points off turnovers — and that’s unacceptable,” said A&T coach Cy Alexander. “They got a lot of points in the second half off of our inability to stay disciplined versus pressure.” The Buckeyes broke out to leads of 10-0 and 17-2 but A&T scored 12 of the next 18 points to pull to a nine-point deficit. Up 39-26 at the half, the Buckeyes came out of the gate in a hurry in the second half, scoring 13 of the first 15 points to pull away. Bruce Beckford had 26 points and Arturs Bremers 14 for the Aggies (1-11), who have lost 11 in a row — the last 10 on the road — after opening with a win against Division III Greensboro College. QUOTE OF THE GAME “No. 32 (Beckford) had just an incredible night,” Matta said. “I told our guys during one of our timeouts, ‘We’re making this guy a first-round draft pick.’” ROAD WEARY The Aggies have lost their last 16 road games, dating to Jan. 11, 2014. They also dropped to 0-31 against ranked teams in school history.

(AP) — West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said quarterback Clint Trickett has been cleared to play in the Liberty Bowl after being sidelined with a concussion. But Holgorsen said sophomore Skyler Howard’s impressive play will put the quarterback rotation up for grabs as the Mountaineers (7-5) prepare to meet Texas A&M (7-5) on Dec. 29 in Memphis, Tenn. Trickett hasn’t played since being knocked out of a 26-20 loss to Kansas State on Nov. 20. Howard has thrown for five touchdowns in two games since replacing Trickett, including three scores in his first start, a 37-24 win at Iowa State on Nov. 29. “Clint’s done such a good job for us over the course of the year,” Holgorsen said Thursday. “He’s responsible for us being in a bowl game — did nothing to change what I think of him as far as the starting quarterback. We know what kind of kid he is, what kind of competitor he is. “With that said, Skyler’s improving, he’s taking a lot of reps these last three weeks. I anticipate to have both ready to go and we’ll probably make a game-time decision on who starts and what the rotation will be.” Trickett has completed 67 percent of his passes but had a stretch of eight consecutive 300-yard games snapped in late October. He’s gone 10 consecutive quarters without throwing for a touchdown and hasn’t taken snaps in practice in a month. Howard is considerably more mobile than Trickett, throwing on the run and unafraid to keep the ball himself. Howard ran for 69 yards on seven carries and completed 21 of 40 passes for 285 yards against Iowa State. With less than two weeks until the bowl game, it could be a matter of which one is better in bowl preparations. “It’s about how they look in practice and we are … looking at who gives us the best chance to win,” Holgorsen said. “It’s all about winning. Once we get down there, we’ll look at it and make a decision.” Briefs The FCC on Thursday dismissed a petition that called for one of the team’s flagship radio stations not to From Page 1B have its license renewed.

Lauren Hill to become honorary coach ‘Redskins’ not profane; station keeps license WASHINGTON (AP) — Saying the word “Redskins” on the air isn’t obscene or profane — at least not according to the Federal Communications Commission. CINCINNATI (AP) — Lauren Hill’s basketball career is finished. The freshman at Mount St. Joseph decided Wednesday to give up her playing career after achieving her goal of scoring in a game even as she fights an inoperable brain tumor. Hill will continue raising money for cancer research as she spends time with her family. Running back Rushel Shell likes the fact that Howard’s running gives defenses one more problem to prepare for. But Shell is comfortable with either quarterback running the offense. “Whoever is out there, I am not worried about it,” he said. Holgorsen said he isn’t worried, either, about the pending departure of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shannon Dawson. While there had been no announcement from Kentucky leading up to his news conference, Holgorsen discussed Dawson’s pending departure to the Wildcats and said Dawson will remain with WVU through the bowl game. “I want to congratulate Shannon Dawson on becoming Coach Dan Benjamin sent an email saying she would be an honorary coach with the team. Her decision came one day after she scored during a 66-65 win over Wooster. “She stepped onto the court one last time in her college career and again fought the odds and made a basket that brought everyone in the gym to their feet,” her family said in a Facebook post. “At the end of the game, she accepted a donation from Wooster toward her $1 million goal. “It was incredible to see her continue to show such resolve and determination and continue to play strong both on the court and in life.” Hill was diagnosed with the brain tumor during her senior year in high school. She went to the Division III school and played in four of Mount St. Joseph’s first eight games, making five layups while spending a few minutes total on the court. Hill will continue raising money for research into cancer, setting a goal of $1 million. She’s getting hospice care at home as her condition worsens. the offensive coordinator at Kentucky,” Holgorsen said in a statement. Dawson arrived at West Virginia in 2011 as inside receivers coach and added the offensive coordinator title a year later. Under him, Geno Smith threw for 42 touchdowns and more than 4,200 yards in 2012, while Trickett’s eight-game streak of 300-yard passing games was a school record. Holgorsen said Dawson would have more control of running an offense under Kentucky’s Mark Stoops, a former defensive coordinator, than Dawson did at West Virginia. “I couldn’t be happier for him,” Holgorsen said at the news conference. Ohio man arrested in ex-football player’s death CLEVELAND (AP) — Authorities say the man suspected of fatally shooting a former Kansas State University football player outside a Cleveland nightclub has been arrested in northeast Ohio. The U.S. Marshals Service says 30-year-old Barry Blevins of East Cleveland was arrested early Wednesday in Cleveland. Blevins was sought on an aggravated murder warrant after the October shooting of 26-year-old David Garrett. Police say Garrett was struck in the chest when Blevins fired into a crowd after a fight that began in a Cleveland nightclub spilled outside. Garrett earned all-Big 12 honorable mention honors as a Kansas State defensive back in 2010 and 2011. He graduated from Thomas W. Harvey High School in Painesville, east of Cleveland and played arena football in Kansas City in 2013. No attorney information for Blevins was available Thursday.
