Small Businesses from Across Ohio Form Leadership Council to Close Sales Tax …
Business leaders come together to urge level playing field for brick-and-mortar retailers. COLUMBUS, Jan. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – The Alliance for Main Street Fairness (AMSF) in Ohio announced today the launch of the Ohio Main Street Leadership Council (OMSLC) to represent small businesses across the state in their effort to remedy an online sales tax disparity. Ohio‘s brick and mortar retailers of all sizes collect and remit sales tax. Currently, online retailers competing with Ohio businesses are not collecting sales tax at the point of sale. Two bills in Congress – the Main Street Fairness Act in the Senate and the Marketplace Equity Act in the House – aim to close this loophole and in doing so have the potential to create an estimated 11,000 Ohio retail jobs. According to a recent study conducted by the University of Cincinnati, achieving parity on tax collections between retail stores and internet retailers would allow the state to recapture 11,000 direct retail jobs – a figure that rises to 15,000 when the indirect effects of spending and re-spending are taken into account. The UC study also states that the online tax loophole cost the state of Ohio more than $200 million in 2011 and a total of $1.1 billion for 2007 through 2012. The study was conducted by UC’s Economics Center for Education and Research on behalf of Focus on Ohio‘s Future, a non-profit research entity powered by the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants in partnership with the Alliance for Main Street Fairness. Local retailers and business leaders have joined together to form the Ohio Main Street Leadership Council to educate the public and elected officials about how the online sales tax issue affects their businesses. The Ohio Main Street Leadership Council members include: Gordon Gough, Executive Vice President, Ohio Council of Retail [...]

Curit and Wilson post strong performances at the Reggie Lewis Center Sarah Wilson BOSTON, Mass. (January 27, 2012) – The Stonehill College women’s indoor track and field team placed tenth overall at the New Balance Boston Collegiate Indoor Games hosted by Northeastern University at the Reggie Lewis Center on Friday night. Brown University won the meet scoring 118.33 points while Northeastern finished second (112.83) and Vermont placed third overall (83). Stonehill earned 21 points for tenth place out of 14 teams in the meet. Freshman middle distance runner Sarah Wilson (West Suffield, Conn./Suffield) turned in the top individual performance for the Skyhawks finishing fifth overall in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:16.67, a new personal best, while falling just shy of the Division II Provisional Qualifying time (2:16.30). Wilson also ran the lead leg of the fourth place distance medley relay team with Maria Curit (Biddeford, Maine/Biddeford), Christen Carrier (Manchester, Conn./Manchester Central) and Maura Ferrarini (Springfield, Mass./Cathedral) in 12:31.40. Carrier, Curit and Ferrarini also placed well in their respective individual events as Curit earned fifth place in the long jump with a career-best leap of 17-feet and 6.25-inches to highlight the group. Carrier finished sixth overall in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:17.09 while Ferrarini placed sixth in the one mile run in 5:08.61. Maura Ferrarini Sophomore Katie Polakowski (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) claimed eighth place in the 55 meter hurdles in 8.68 seconds after qualifying for the event with a preliminary time of 8.63.

ALBANY — The Siena men’s basketball team got off to a fast start for a change and then held off a second-half challenge by young and spirited Marist. With the Saints on their way to a 66-55 victory at Times Union Center, that left the late-game drama to two subplots. Would junior forward O.D. Anosike get his 16th straight double-double? And would the crowd of 7,906 get their free tacos? The answer was ‘yes’ on both counts and the fans went home happy after the Saints won their second straight game to improve to 10-10 overall, 5-5 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Siena coach Mitch Buonaguro was most encouraged the Saints showed no letdown after Monday’s dramatic win over Iona, when the Saints rallied from down 18, by storming to a 12-2 lead and never trailing against the Red Foxes. “I’m very pleased,” Buonaguro said. “We’ve been starting games slow and digging ourselves a hole. This game we came out quick, we played well. We looked crisp on offense, moved the ball well, made shots. That’s encouraging because that’s going to get deeper into games with leads. Playing from behind all the time is hard with basically a six-man rotation.” Siena beat Marist (7-13, 2-7) for the 10th consecutive time. Anosike finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds for another double-double. He drew within three of Fairfield’s Darren Phillip, who had 19 in a row in 1999-2000, for the longest streak in the country in the past 15 years. He worked hard to extend it against Marist sophomore center Adam Kemp, who’s 6-foot-10 and 235 pounds. Anosike grabbed his 10th rebound with 3:44 to play. He powered past Kemp for a layup that gave Siena a 51-47 lead with 7:19 to play after the Red Foxes had cut the deficit [...]

January 27, 2012 10:48PM Reprints Updated: January 27, 2012 10:48PM Village awards Lewis ROMEOVILLE — Lewis University was named village of Romeoville 2011 Large Business of the Year at the annual State of the Village address. Brother James Gaffney, Lewis president, accepted the award from Mayor John Noak. Noak cited many improvements during the course of the year that signified a commitment to progress and commitment to the community. Those accomplishments included construction of a multimillion dollar Science Center which will be LEED certified; conclusion of a major capital campaign; Lewis named Tree Campus USA University by the Arbor Day Foundation; opened a campus in Albuquerque, N.M.; initiated an aviation academy with the City Colleges of Chicago and the Chicago Department of Aviation for the Air Traffic Control Management and Aviation Administration programs; construction of a multipurpose athletic and recreation stadium; and completion of a major bond program with the village of Romeoville. “Partnership means a great deal to us. Community means a great deal to us. We are proud to be partners in building community and in improving the quality of life for the community,” Gaffney said. St. Francis forms new partnership JOLIET — The University of St. Francis has partnered with the Cristo Rey Network in support of its mission of providing Cristo Rey graduates with academic, social and financial support to attain college degrees. As a supporting partner, USF will provide scholarship support to Cristo Rey graduates and work with regional Cristo Rey schools in college planning and college selection.

Pfc. Steven Sherry, 21, broke a game of nine ball Friday and glanced approvingly at the action around him. Beyond the eight pool tables awaited a phalanx of state-of-the-art computers, gaming consoles and monitors. When they weren’t playing video games or surfing the Internet, soldiers lounged and watched the digital firefights on 55-inch or even larger projection screens. The lighting dimmed, other soldiers talked in groups while music pulsed through the room. Above Sherry, a row of flat-screen televisions displayed sports and satellite programming. Friday’s opening of the new $11 million indoor recreation center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord offers the ultimate hangout for young soldiers, joining the ambiance of a nightclub with the hardware of a souped-up Internet cafe. The center, named Warrior Zone, will entertain the ranks of young soldiers, which has grown in recent years. It will induce them to remain on base, safe and away from trouble they might find in surrounding communities, said Bill Strock, civilian adviser to the soldiers’ group that helped design the new center. Warrior Zone is on North Fort Lewis, walking distance for more than half of the estimated 8,000 single soldiers who live in barracks on Lewis-McChord. The location is key, said Command Sgt. Maj. Matt Barnes, the garrison’s senior enlisted soldier. A shuttle will help transport the estimated 150 airmen who live on McChord Field to the center, he said. Sherry, of Monticello, N.Y., said he spends less time socializing on the installation since he moved to the South Sound. But Warrior Zone will be a destination for him in the future during lunch breaks and at the end of his duty shifts. “I’ll probably stop in a lot more and play pool and video games,” he said. Watching four platoon mates playing a military-based video game, Spc. Kent Kallstrom, [...]
Read More >>Lewis County, hospital officials discuss possible clinic projects
LOWVILLE Lewis County and hospital officials went behind closed doors Friday morning to discuss the state of potential clinic additions, despite prior billing as a public meeting. County legislators and members of the Lewis County General Hospital board of managers held a joint meeting in the legislative chambers for the intent of general discussion, according to public notice of the session. However, the boards immediately moved to enter executive session on the grounds of prospective real estate purchases, where public disclosure might significantly affect value, and legal issues concerning hospital health clinics. Following a roughly two-hour discussion, they returned to regular session and adjourned the joint meeting with no public discussion. Legislature Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, when contacted later, said he had met earlier in the week with hospital CEO Eric R. Burch, and it was decided a meeting of the two boards would be in order to discuss specifics on potential clinic projects and their fiscal feasibility. He admitted that the meeting included discussions on financial issues between the county and its municipal hospital and personnel matters but suggested those were tangential to talks about how to proceed with possible projects. It just kind of all blended together, Mr. Bush said. He apologized for the misleading notice but said he believed the session was proper. Aside from a Times reporter, no members of the public showed up for the meeting. Mr. Bush said regular meetings between legislators and hospital managers are beneficial in helping to avoid animosity or conflict. We try to do that on a quarterly basis, just so we are on the same page, he said. While Fridays meeting was called on somewhat short notice, the next joint session has been slated for March 26 at the hospital. We have many exciting projects currently in [...]

Troopers investigating two fatal Trumbull County crashes Staff report warren The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating two fatal car accidents this morning — one that happened in Vienna Township, and one in Howland Township. Nicholas J. Lewis, 35, of Vienna, was killed at 12:30 a.m. in a single-car crash on state Route 193 just south of Smith-Stewart Road in Vienna Township. He was southbound when he drove off the right side of the road and struck parked piece of construction equipment. Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt. In the other crash, Phillip W. Keagy, 30, of Warren, was killed in a single-car crash on state Route 82 in Howland Township just west of state Route 11. The accident happened at 11:59 p.m. Thursday. Keagy was a front-seat passenger in a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro that was westbound on Route 82 when it went off the right side of the road and struck an overhead sign post. Keagy was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown, where he was in critical condition. His identity was being withheld pending notification of relatives. Two rear-seat passengers, Stefanie E. Ullom, 22, of Warren, and Monica L. Smith, 24, of Orwell, were also taken to St. Elizabeth and were in serious condition. Lt. Brian Holt of the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Warren post said the roads were wet at the time of both crashes, but it’s not known whether that played a role in either crash.

Norman M. Spiva passed away Jan. 22, 2012, at the Westminster Senior Living Center in Rock Hill, S.C., at the age of 95. He was born Nov. 1, 1916, in Stella, the oldest child of the late Clyde and Ressie Lewis Spiva. A 1938 graduate of Southwest Missouri State College, Mr. Spiva worked part-time for Dun Bradstreet while a student. After graduation, he began what was to be a 36-year career with D B starting at the Little Rock, Ark., office as a report writer. In 1944, he was transferred to Louisville, Ky., as district reporting and service manager and six years later he was promoted regional service manager in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1956, he was transferred to New York City as the manager of methods and equipment research where he was instrumental in the planning an implementation of the first computer system for DB. After retiring in 1973, Mr. Spiva moved back to Little Rock, where he enjoyed traveling, gardening and fishing. In 1989, he moved to South Carolina to be near his daughter and her family. He liked to attend local high school football and college basketball games in Rock Hill and in his later years became interested in genealogy research, writing several extensive resumes on his Spiva and Lewis ancestors. All of this research has been donated to the Wilkes County Genealogical Society at the Wilkes County Library in Wilkesboro, N.C. He was also an avid ham radio operator for more than 50 years and enjoyed building much of his own equipment.

Email PDF Print Delaware, OH (PRWEB) January 27, 2012 A recent study initiated by Haines Publishing shows that 47% of residents in Delaware County use the print yellow pages first when looking for local business information. The study, conducted by ITM Marketing (Coshocton, OH) in December 2011, covered cities including Ashley, Delaware, Galena, Lewis Center, Powell, Sunbury and Westerville. Residents were asked if they used their local yellow pages or the internet first when searching for a local business. The study showed 74% used the yellow pages first in Sunbury, 67% in Ashley, 62% in Delaware, 38% in Westerville, 36% in Powel, 31% in Lewis Center, and 28% in Galena. “These studies confirm what those of us in the yellow page industry already know – yellow pages remain an important consumer resource alongside the internet,” said Terry Pacelli, Vice President of Haines Publishing, Inc. “People are using their local print yellow pages to find businesses.” Based in North Canton, Ohio, Haines Publishing, Inc. produces and distributes more than one million telephone directories across central Ohio and New York.

Zachary Lewis, The PDOutside the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, where the Cleveland Orchestra appeared Wednesday. West Palm Beach, Fla. – Just when you think it might phone in a performance, the Cleveland Orchestra goes and shows it doesn’t even know the meaning of the phrase. After a long day of practice, travel and school appearances, the orchestra and music director Franz Welser-Most went forward Wednesday with a commanding presentation of their Miami residency program at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, a multi-venue arts complex at the center of this wealthy seaside community. No matter that some players had visited schoolchildren just moments earlier, or that others had gotten a flat tire on the 70-mile drive from Miami. Both orchestra and conductor still took the run-out show seriously, putting forth their best in the 2,200-seat Dreyfoos Concert Hall. For his part, pianist Yefim Bronfman was certainly in fine form. Reprising his role as soloist in Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, he was every bit as forceful and expressive as he was last week at Severance Hall, if not more so. Perhaps in an effort to overcome the hall’s cavernous acoustics, Bronfman pushed the music to its absolute, thrilling brink. Where his earlier reading was aggressive, this one evinced a kind of tempestuousness verging on the desperate. Listeners noticed. After the first movement, the audience broke with custom and applauded, and the pianist took a bow. Principal horn Richard King might have done so as well, given his regal delivery of the score’s opening bars. Happily, Bronfman’s zeal applied in the opposite direction as well. Filigreed passages practically shimmered, and his Andante bore none of the disquiet it did up north. Here, it was a thing of pure, untroubled tranquility. Next to that, the Largo of Shostakovich’s Symphony [...]

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Center Stefanie Dolson had two fouls just 1:54 into the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team’s game at Syracuse Wednesday night. Reserve center Kiah Stokes picked up her second foul 4:20 after entering the contest. The third-ranked Huskies were outscored in the paint, gave up more second-chance points, and were outrebounded by the Orange in the first half at the Carrier Dome. It was the reason Syracuse was thinking upset in the locker room trailing by just seven at intermission. UConn’s top-rated defense had allowed just 11 points under its game average in 20 minutes. “The first half, our big guys were not very good,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “I said at halftime that was going to change and we weren’t going to play like that. I think we came out with a different approach.” The Huskies dominated at both ends of the floor in the second half in what turned out to be a 95-54 Big East rout of Syracuse, their 21st straight win over the Orange. Over the final 20 minutes, UConn (18-2 overall, 7-1 Big East) was plus-12 in points in the paint, plus-4 in second-chance points, and plus-12 in rebounds. The Orange came into the game leading the nation in rebounds (49.3 per game). Syracuse leading scorer Iasia Hemingway finished with 15 points but had only three in the second half. “Coach reminded us that it’s been our defense that’s allowed us to have a chance to win all of our games,” UConn freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis said. “We weren’t playing any defense on the Syracuse post players at all. They were scoring at will. We were fouling them, and they weren’t even hard fouls. They have good post players but we weren’t making it tough on them.” Syracuse (13-8, 2-5) shot just [...]

Photo Photo by Bill Olmsted Ted Lewis addresses the group that turned out at the Janesville Job Center on Thursday to speak about their views of Gov. Scott Walker’s State of the State address. Photo Photo by Bill Olmsted Milton Alderwoman Anissa Welch addresses a rally held in the parking lot of the Janesville Job Center on Thursday. Welch, a juvenile probation officer, discussed the effect of state budgets cuts on women. Photo Photo by Bill Olmsted Janesville Parker High School teacher Trygve Danielson talks about how state budget cuts have affected his school during the rally. JANESVILLE A core group of the local Democratic Party faithful gathered late Thursday afternoon in a chilly mist to issue a report on what was called the declining state of Rock County under Gov. Scott Walker. The event, billed as “The State of Rock County,” was organized by United Auto Workers Local 95 as a response to Walker’s State of the State speech Wednesday. Speakers representing the employed, unemployed and underemployed, told a crowd of about 40 outside the Rock County Job Center that Walker’s first year in office had resulted in attacks on women and children, threats to education and a declining jobs base. A local Republican Party official said the event amounted to an attempt to obstruct job growth. Milton Alderwoman Anissa Welch, a Rock County juvenile probation officer, said Walker’s attack on collective bargaining and public employees amounted to an attack on women and children in Rock County. “In Rock County, 70 percent of local government workers are women,” she said. “We are not going to stand for it. “Gov. Walker, we are handing you a pink slip and an eviction notice from that mansion in Maple Bluff,” she said. “And to all of you here today, I’ll see [...]

Columbus Crew rookie Bernardo Anor. LEWIS CENTER, Ohio – As Bernardo Anor hammered in three straight services during a drill Friday, the second-year Crew midfielder showed the confidence that was lacking at times in his rookie season. The Venezuelan-born Anor hit a high mark June 18 in his first start by scoring and adding an assist in a 2-0 win at Houston. But then he disappeared for most of the rest of the season, due both to an ankle injury and his approach to the game. “Mostly everything that happened was because of my mentality,” the University of South Florida product told MLSsoccer.com recently. “I need to be tougher mentally so I can do all that I am capable on the field. After that [Houston] game, I felt good then I got injured. It takes a little bit to recover and get back in shape.” Anor, 21, missed the three games prior to the Dynamo match because of a left ankle sprain and was sidelined four more games in September. Otherwise, he was used sparingly. His points at Houston were his only ones for the season in 13 games (six starts) totaling 640 minutes. “Everybody has ups and downs,” he said. “Hopefully this year I will progress. If I get down, I will keep my head up and work hard.” He comes into the 2012 season knowing there is an opening on the wing with the departure of Robbie Rogers and in the middle because Emmanuel Ekpo will not be back. “I’m focusing right now on doing my thing,” Anor said. “If the coaches like what they see, they’ll give me the opportunity. I want to win the spot. I want to be starting.” Even though some of his challengers for minutes this season include rookies such as Ethan Finlay [...]

January 27, 2012 6:18 PM The Churn: Lateral Moves and Promotions in The Am Law 200 Posted by Sara Randazzo Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Sullivan continues to boost its nascent Washington, D.C., office, which opened last fall with a team of former Alston Bird lawyers in a move aimed at least play at putting the firm closer to the red-hot patent litigation venue that is the International Trade Commission. Quinn Emanuel announced this week that it has tapped WILLIAM BURCK, previously a partner with Weil, Gotshal Manges, to comanage the D.C. operation alongside Jon Corey. Burck, who will also work in New York, advises clients on white-collar criminal matters, often related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the False Claims Act, and Dodd-Frank Act regulations. Earlier in his career, Burck served as deputy counsel to former president George W. Bush during his years in the White House and also worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in New York City. Burck tells sibling publication The National Law Journal that the leadership skills he developed at the White House will be helpful in his new role at Quinn Emanuel. He also says that Washington is rapidly becoming the epicenter of global regulation and litigation. “D.C. is the capital of the government world,” he says. In other Churn news . . .

If you haven’t checked them out, I suggest you begin to do so. While all of our staff members try to do our best to answer your questions inside our articles, your blog posts, and the forums, we can’t always be everywhere at once. That is why, in lieu of the weekly 11W Recruiting Notebook, I wanted to give you all a chance to ask me whatever your heart desired as we stand less then a week until National Signing Day. I couldn’t get to all of your questions, but I promised I did my best. If there is something you wanted to ask, but didn’t get around to submitting it or even if you have a new question pop into your head, please feel free to post in the comments section below, and I promise I will do my best to answer it. I hope to do this again, at least once a month, so hope you all enjoy it. Enough of my rambling. Join us after the jump for the inaugural 11W Recruiting Mailbag. Has anybody every told this “Alex” fella that he reminds me of the next Percy Harvin of recruiting? Haha, thanks, but I’m more like the Connor Smith of recruiting. Glad I can provide all of you some insight, but I’m nowhere near Percy Harvin level. Will Ohio State go over the 25 scholarship limit this year? Is that even possible? If so, how should [...]

With immediate increases of up to 40 percent, business owners said they are faced with cutting workers, reducing investment and making other changes as they struggle to deal with an increased expense that many of them did not see coming. “ Honestly, am I going to put my next machine here or in my plant in Tennessee?” asked Patrick Castro Jr., vice president of Electro General Plastics in Grove City, whose electricity costs have risen 35 percent. “ Tennessee is looking a little bit more business-friendly.” AEP says the new rates reflect the cost to provide service, and that what might seem like a big increase is because the previous rates were unusually low for certain types of customers. The Dispatch reported last month that the AEP plan would lead to large rate increases for small businesses, much larger than the average rates disclosed by the utility. The story cited internal emails from a Public Utilities Commission of Ohio staff member who raised concerns that the rates were unfair and would be harmful to many businesses. At Plastic Packaging Technologies on the Northwest Side, executives are reconsidering plans to expand. The company is based in Kansas City, Kan., and could shift its resources elsewhere. “ This is very dangerous and very damaging,” said David Potter, the vice president and general manager. “We’re in a very competitive market, [...]

BRIDGEPORT – The W.Va. Poison Center warned parents about new forms of an old danger: batteries and magnets. Dr. Christopher Goode runs the Emergency Room at United Hospital Center in Bridgeport. But in his other role, he plays dad to two young boys, ages four and eight. He’s seen emergencies with them, too. “You know I have boys and boys like to help change things,” he said. He referred to batteries; but whether big or small, they pose a risk, along with small magnets. And now more than ever, they’re in your children’s toys. I spoke via Skype with Carissa McBurney, spokesperson for the W.Va. Poison Center in Charleston. “With new technologies and with new children’s toys and desk novelties, high-powered magnets are available to children,” McBurney said. The new toys included magnetic building sets that poison control called “modern Lincoln logs.” The Poison Center has taken hundreds of calls about new battery-operated and magnetic toys in the last year, McBurney said. “Small batteries can come from a number of things,” Goode said. ”They can come from toys, watches and remote controls for your garage door opener. What’s very popular that people don’t think about is they can come from hearing aids.” When kids get a hold batteries, they may think it’s candy. A good barometer to measure battery size with is a paper towel roll. Any battery smaller than the cylindrical opening is a risk, McBurney said. “It makes an alkaline fluid that burns the inner lining of the esophagus which is the food tube, or the stomach,” Goode said. And once it gets into the stomach, it could be life threatening. Doctor Goode said make sure you get medical help right away.
