State and Athens County Authorities last night recovered the body of a  kayaker who went missing Saturday on the Hocking River near White's Mill waterfall. The body of 40-year-old Steve Lippson was recovered 200 yards downstream from the waterfall, where he and five other kayakers were swept over. The other five were rescued. An autopsy is planned.
