NEUTRALITY
Continued from page A1
As to whether the two
subjects are similar — the
digital divide and net neu-
trality — Stivers said there
is some crossover, but he is
mostly focused on internet
accessibility.
Both senators from Ohio
have also received money
from the three major ISPs,
with Republican Rob
Portman receiving around
$175,000 and Democrat
Sherrod Brown receiving
nearly $160,000.
However, Brown has spo-
ken out repeatedly against
the repeal of net neutral-
ity. He recently posted a
letter to FCC Chairman Pai
authored by himself and
11 other senators express-
ing their concern over the
proposed rollback and
have asked that the vote be
delayed.
“A free and open Internet
is vital to ensuring a level
playing field online, and we
believe that your proposed
action may be based on an

and family have given
pieces to him as gifts over
the years as well. Fuller
explained that some people
would hear about of his
collection and give their
old toys to him rather than
throwing them away.
There were a few times
when Fuller used the inter-
net to purchase items online,
but he stopped that as a
self-control defense. He also
avoids going to the toy sec-
tions of stores and browsing
through the new Star Wars
items to keep himself from
overspending.
Most of the items on
display at the library are
vintage with the exception
of a few newer pieces here
and there.
One of his favorite items
currently on display is a
rather large AT-AT (All

Walker that his sister bought
for him. Another interest-
ing memorabilia piece is
the R2-D2 walkman that
he used to take everywhere
with him to listen to music.
Another one of his
favorite pieces on display
is a small action figure of
Yoda. He explained that the
little toys and pieces aren’t
worth that much until the all

SUSPENDED
Continued from page A1
According to West Virginia
Board of Osteopathic Medi-
cine records, Myles has been
practicing family medicine at
the Bluefield Medical Center
in West Virginia since July.
Tessie Pollock, a spokes-
person from Ohio’s Medical
Board, said the minimum
150-day suspension means
Myles could apply for rein-
statement as early as January.
But as part of his condi-
tions of reinstatement in
Ohio, he must first pay a
$15,000 fine, be subject to
frequent monitoring reports
of his medical practice,
and complete courses on
medical ethics and physician-
patient boundaries. He is also
required to provide a copy
of his consent agreement to
those for whom me practices
medicine.
Reached for comment
Thursday, Myles was asked
if he plans to reapply to have
his medical license reinstated
in Ohio. He is no longer af-
filiated with Holzer Health
Systems.
“I do not have any plans for
that right now,” he said.

eliminate the principles
this proceeding,” the letter
read, later calling the FCC’s
proposal “fundamentally
flawed.”
In March of 2017, Con-
gress voted to remove some
online protections related
to consumer privacy, which
helped open the door for
the FCC’s vote (scheduled
for Dec. 14) on whether to
repeal net neutrality rules.
Between U.S. Sens. Brown
and Portman as well as U.S.
Reps. Stivers and Johnson,
only Brown voted against
the removal of these protec-
tions.
Both House representa-
tives have been responding
to constituents’ emails on
net neutrality with form
letters. Stivers writes in his
letter that the new regula-
tions would be enforced by
the Federal Trade Commis-
sion (FTC) instead of the
FCC, and that the FTC will
enforce privacy and decep-
tive practices on a case-by-
case basis as it does in other
industries.
“The removal of these
rules by the FCC does not

also in Athens. Earlier
this year on May 4 — also
known as Star Wars Day ac-
companied with the phrase,
“May the 4th be with you”
— Fuller was able to pull a
large amount of his collec-
tion out to transport to Co-
lumbus and put on display
at COSI for an after-hours
event.
Having his pieces on
display in a toy museum
would be a “dream,” but it’s
an expensive venture. If the
possibility of opening a toy
museum became feasible,
“I would jump on it in a
According to the consent
agreement, Myles acknowl-
edged that he became friends
with a female co-worker at
the Holzer clinic and provided
medical care to her from
November 2016 through early
January 2017. He stated that
they began dating and that he
later provided medical care to
her again in April.
“Dr. Myles states that such
conduct was considered a vio-
lation of the personnel poli-
cies of his clinic employer,
and he was placed on admin-
istrative leave in July 2017,”
states the consent agreement.
“Dr. Myles further states that
he now recognizes that such
conduct was a violation of the
(state) Board’s administrative
rules and acknowledges that
he should have formally ter-
minated the physician-patient
relationship prior to engaging
in the romantic relationship
that remains ongoing.”

of net neutrality from our
internet, and I remain
supportive of efforts in
Congress to legislate how
our regulators enforce ISP
behavior,” Stivers’ letter
read. The letter also de-
tailed his support of prohib-
iting paid prioritization, his
opposition of ISPs blocking
content and his support of
“bipartisan guidelines to
help our light-touch regula-
tions evolve with changing
technology.”
Johnson took a more
direct approach in his form
response: “While I recog-
nize your support for net
neutrality, I oppose these
new regulations, and I was
discouraged to see the role
the former Obama Admin-
istration took to encourage
the FCC to end the ‘light
touch’ era of Internet regu-
lation and replace it with
heavy-handed public utility
rules.”
Protests against rescind-
ing net neutrality are
planned for Thursday, Dec.
14, the same day the FCC
plans to vote.

heartbeat,” he said.
Fuller is also involved
in the Athens music scene
and often shows his Star
Wars memorabilia to Ohio
University students in the
scene who catch wind of his
collection.
Fuller has had offers from
people to buy pieces from
his collection in the past.
Though he isn’t opposed to
the idea of selling some of
the toys, he would want to
find the right owner with
good intentions.
“I’m kind of attached to
a heck of a lot of them,” he
said.
“The Board’s August 2017
Step I Consent Agreement
with Dr. Susan Lawrence is
based solely on her im-
pairment due to chemical
dependency. The Board has
the right to pursue addi-
tional discipline should any
additional violations result
from court proceedings,”
Pollock said.
The spokesperson contin-
ued, “Conviction of certain
specified drug-related felo-
nies can result in automatic
suspension of a practitioner’s
license, but not all. However,
the Board can take additional
disciplinary action based
upon any felony conviction,
including summarily suspend-
ing a physician’s license when
deemed appropriate to ensure
patient safety.”
