Possible 'Smiley Face Gang' Link To Local Death
by Susan Bennett

New details have emerged which indicate that the death of Todd Geib may be linked to the so-called "Smiley Face Gang." As you may remember Todd, a 2001 graduate of Ravenna High School, disappeared after leaving a party on June 12, 2005. Three weeks later he was found in a body of water near the party site. A group of retired detectives believes this gang is responsible for the apparent drowning deaths of numerous young men across the country. Over 45 bodies have been discovered across 11 states, according to FOX News. The gang targets young, athletic, college aged men leaving parties and bars. These young men disappear and are later found in nearby bodies of water, oftentimes in the opposite direction of where they were headed, leaving their families searching for answers.Kevin Gannon, retired Sergeant/Detective NYPD, has included Todd’s case in their investigation due to the similarities between his disappearance and death and those of the other young men. The Geib family, along with the families of the other victims, believe that not enough funds or man power have been allocated to the investigation of these cases. They have joined a Petition for Action campaign that is appealing to Robert Mueller, director of the FBI, to order a full and thorough investigation into the deaths of these young men.The Geib family is very grateful for the past outpouring of support during the search for Todd. They are once again asking for your help. Signatures are needed! Please sign and/ or circulate a petition.Petitions are available at Choice One Bank Ravenna Branch during normal office hours.They will also be available at 3414 Main St. on Friday and Saturday, August 15th and 16th and on Friday, August 15th at Dog Daze at Conklin Park between 5 and 9 p.m..You may also obtain petitions online by submitting an email request to jenniannb23@msn.com.The Geib family need as many signatures as possible by September 15th.

I am more and more focused on things going on around me. By that I don't mean just locally...but globally. With that being said, I am increasingly convinced that our time here (on Earth) is short and my/our King and Savior (Jesus Christ) will soon be returning for those of us who have acknowledge HIM as their Redeemer. By time, I mean within the next year or less. For the last 20 years I have been watching for Him and the last 8 months I have been (some would say) obsessed with what some call "Rapture Watching". I am more and more excited as the days go by and more and more things in the Bible are fulfilled. Just this year alone has proven to be a very prophetically fulfilling year...and it's only April! No other time in History has been at the point we are to today as far as things coming to pass. People everywhere (Christians and non-Christians) are having dreams and visions of things soon to come. The very words of Jesus himself of how things will be just before He comes are now happening. The church these days however seems to be either asleep or oblivious to whats going on, or just not interested in the exciting times they are living in, which I'm sure is exactly in line with what Satan wants. Every where I go people say, "We won't know the day He's coming." To that I say maybe not the day or hour exactly...but we can know the season. Jesus gave us a very clear description of what we are to be looking for. He said it would be as the days of Noah. He also has always given His people a warning before He was going to do something. Example...He told Noah seven days before the rains came. Just look at the world around us...Global Famines, Economy crashing and dollar worthless, wars everywhere, Israel trying to be split (by our US Government), earthquakes increasing (more than 600 earthquakes in the last 10 days off the central Oregon coast in an area not typically known for a high degree of seismic activity), strange weather EVERYWHERE!!! (Iraq had snow this year, and TORNADOES abound!) and on and on it goes. The Earth itself is GROANING because it knows something is about to happen! If your reading this and don't yet have a relationship with Jesus...you don't have much time left. Ask Him NOW to forgive you of your sin and to give you everlasting life. If He takes His Bride home and your too late...I can promise you this is not going to be a fun place to be!

Here's a taste of what's going on these days! VERY EXCITING!

Lord, help me to continue to surrender all to You each and every day. Days may be tough and time may be short, but no matter what You're still....and always will be in control. Help me to remember you don't need my help to accomplish what You started. I love you Lord!
