Rob Portman. Portman, who at one time last year considered running for President, sat down with several Holzer and Meigs County officials, including Brent Saunders, chairman of the Board of Directors for Holzer Health System, and Meigs County Commissioner Holzer photo Sen. Robert Portman recently visited the Holzer Meigs Emergency Facility, which Randy Smith, to discuss variincluded a tour of the facility and an opportunity to speak with local county ous issues. Obamacare was the leading Commissioners and Holzer administrative staff. Gallia man’s life sentence upheld by court topic. Many Holzer officials were concerned that Obamacare would hurt people in the area who couldn’t afford it, especially people who couldn’t afford health insurance to begin with. Saunders said that at least between 12 percent to 15 percent of people in Meigs County didn’t have health insurance. Portman said he was currently working with lawmakers to help change Obamacare to help take pressure off individual markets. Saunders said Holzer is in talks with Ohio State University and West Virginia University to bring medical students to their facility in the coming year. There was also discussion of the new wellness center opening up in Gallipolis. Portman commended Holzer officials and staff of the medical facility for their continued hard work and said he would show his support to Holzer. “For years, there has been no hospital or emergency room of any type in Meigs County,” Portman said. “I’m glad we finally got something here for Meigs County.” Portman took a tour of the facility, which opened in November.

Lee A. Hawkins, 50, of Bidwell, is currently being held in the Ross Correctional Institution in Chillicothe, where he is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole after being found guilty by a jury in October 2012 of aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and the gross abuse of a corpse. Hawkins was arrested March 13, Hawkins 2012, after he was identified as suspect in the murder of Betsy Ball, 67, of Morgan Township, on Feb. 29, 2012. The defendant killed Ball at her home on Wilder Road home, then raped, mutilated and dumped her body at a nearby farm along Piper Road, about six miles from her home. Hawkins reportedly had known Betsy Ball and her husband, David, for about 20 years and had been occasionally employed as a farmhand by them during that time. Betsy Ball was reported missing by her family during the early morning hours of March 1, and her body was later found by law enforcement officials where it had been dumped in a field on Piper Road. The coroner’s report states Ball died primarily of strangulation. Hawkins, who pleaded not guilty on March 19, 2012, and maintained his innocence throughout his six-day trial, was found guilty on Oct. 9, 2012, of murdering Ball. During sentencing one week later, Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans handed down a life sentence without parole eligibility for the charge of aggravated murder, and a 36-month sentence for tampering with evidence. The Fourth District Court of Appeals, in March 2014, heard Hawkins’ appeal and upheld his life sentence. Hawkins, in his appeal, maintained that the trial court had abused its discretion when it See SENTENCE | 5 — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 — SPORTS Wrestling: 6 Basketball: 6 — FEATURES Classified: 7 Comics: 9 Television: 10 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Unfunded fire and police pensions near $1 billion By George Hohmann For the W.Va. Press Association CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Unfunded municipal pension liabilities are near $1 billion and West Virginia cities are struggling because of the debt, according to Blair Taylor, executive director of the West Virginia Municipal Pensions Oversight Board. Taylor was one of more than a dozen leaders who spoke recently at the West Virginia Associated Press Legislative Lookahead in Charleston. During a panel discussion on municipal issues, Taylor said municipal police and firefighter pensions have about $1 billion in unfunded liabilities and are “a huge burden for many West Virginia cities.” Charleston has a $280 million unfunded liability “which is the worst in the country,” said Charleston Mayor Danny Jones. When panel moderator John McCabe, managing editor of The Wheeling Intelligencer, asked what one thing the Legislature could do to help cities, Jones said, “Take ‘em all,” referring to the pension plans. “The state created them, it ought to take them,” he said. In addition, “I think the state should adopt complete home rule for the cities,” Jones said. Under freedom granted by home rule, Charleston and Wheeling are implementing sales taxes that will be used, in part, to pay pension liabilities. Wheeling has an $80 million liability. Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie said his city has had to make cuts to pay for pensions. “If we didn’t have this problem we could have done great things” like grant employee pay raises and devote more funds to water and sewer needs, he said. McKenzie went on to say that, “If we have one problem, it is housing.” Although the region’s booming natural gas business has attracted workers to the area, many of them are living in Ohio or Pennsylvania because few homes have been built in the Northern Panhandle in recent decades, he said.

Deskins, director of West Virginia University’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research, said he has been struck by how regional economies vary. “Any notion of one-size-fits-all in economic development strategy is farfetched,” he said. Although the recession didn’t hit West Virginia as hard as it hit many other places, “employment hasn’t done well at all,” Deskins said. “From 2012 to 2013, West Virginia lost jobs and last year was flat.” Asked what West Virginia can learn from other states, Deskins said, “Generally speaking you don’t want to be an outlier.” West Virginia is an outlier in the degree it is ruled by state government, he said. When asked how the city of Charleston is doing, Jones said, “fairly well,” but not as well as 10 years ago. The city has never quite come back to the growth it experienced prior to the 2008 financial crisis. “Plus we had the water crisis,” Jones said, referring to the January 2014 Freedom Industries chemical spill that affected the water supply of 300,000 people in the area. “That’s done damage to us that is incalculable,” he said. During a panel discussion on water quality, Corky DeMarco, executive director of the West Virginia Oil and Gas Association, said, “I am personally upset we tend to vilify industry for something an outlier did.” He said Freedom Industries was required to have a containment system but it was inadequate.

They are two of 53 dissidents released by the government of Raul Castro as part of an agreement with the Obama administration for “normalized” relations between Washington and Havana. “We welcome this very positive development,” said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf, “and are pleased that the Cuban government followed through on this commitment.” Well, we, too, welcome the release of the 53 Cuban political prisoners, while at the same time noting that the Obama administration actually presented a longer list during its secret negotiations with Havana before settling for the 53 detainees the communists grudgingly agreed to set free. We also note that that the fortunate 53 were not released unconditionally. For instance, the brothers Vargas, sentenced to two and a half years in prison for membership in a peaceful opposition group, Union Patriotica Cuba, may not travel beyond their province and must regularly report to Cuban authorities. And that’s not the only condition faced by the 53. In an appearance on “CBS This Morning,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American, said that all the releasees were warned “that if they take up the cause of democracy, they’ll be right back in jail.” Meanwhile, Amnesty International has certain misgivings about the Castro regime’s bow to Washington. Erika Guevara Rosas, the organization’s director for the Americas, pointed to “incredibly worrying reports about a rise in harassment and short-term detentions of dissidents throughout 2014, which have continued in recent weeks.” The Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation reported last week there were 8,899 short-term detentions of dissidents and activists in 2014, up from 6,424 in 2013. And the harassment and short-term detentions continue in 2015. On New Year’s Day, Cuban performance artist Tania Bruguera was arrested — the third time in two days — for attempting an “open mike” performance in Havana’s Revolution Square in which members of the public would be invited to express themselves for one minute each. In addition to the artist, another several dozen activists and dissidents were similarly rounded up by Cuban state security. Despite her arrest, Ms. Bruguera supports diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States. But, as demonstrated by her unjust detention, the despotic Castro regime still has far to go before earning such status. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.)

They, too, have Muslim populations that, in some areas, haven’t fully integrated. Why does the United States not have the same problem (although it has experienced its own homegrown attacks)? Its assimilationist machinery, for all its flaws, is in better working order. It is an open, economically dynamic society. But this is partly a function of numbers. Immigrants to the U.S. still largely come from Christian countries and don’t feel the powerful pull of a religious identity putting them at odds with their new country. This is a rather basic point: The quantity of immigration inevitably affects the quality of assimilation. The elite’s reflex on immigration is always to say “more.” The populations of many European countries want to say “less.” Their case is stronger after the horrors of the last two weeks, although all the usual obloquy will be heaped on it, and much intellectual and political energy will be devoted to denying that the Paris attacks had anything to do with immigration or Islam. Addressing a long-ago crisis in Athens, Demosthenes said of those demanding to know his alternative, “I will first give them this answer — the most just and true of all — ‘Do not do what you are doing now.’” On immigration, that is the counsel that Europe needs to hear, and to heed.

Roosevelt was sworn into office for an unprecedented fourth term. In 1954, “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,” a play by Herman Wouk based on part of his novel “The Caine Mutiny,” opened on Broadway. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson was inaugurated for a term of office in his own right. Rock-and-roll promoter Alan Freed, 43, died in Palm Springs, California.

The Ohio Supreme Court also concurred. Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins praised the state Supreme Court’s decision, and thanked the Ball family, Gallia County Sheriff, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and Assistant Prosecutors Eric Mulford and Britt Wiseman “for their efforts in Hawkins’ initial conviction, as well as ensuring that his life sentence was upheld on appeal.” Mulford and Wiseman released joint statement upon hearing the news of the Supreme Court’s decision. “We are extremely pleased that the Ohio Supreme Court has rejected the baseless appeal put forward on behalf of the Defendant. The Ball family deserves finality and they deserve the peace of mind that this case is closed, with the Defendant serving the remainder of his life in prison.

But we’ve seen our fair share of challenges as well,” he said. “In the prior year, we’ve seen national and regional events that challenge us to be better as a community and still seek to understand each other and work toward a common goal. The common goal is civility and understanding, making our beautiful southeast Ohio a better place to live for all people. That’s why it’s important now more than ever to remember the good teachings and words of Dr. King, his ministry and movements.” During the event, Susan Rogers, director of RSVP of the Ohio Valley, announced the MLK Jr. essay contest Pensions winners, which were fourth- and fifthgrade students from Gallia, Lawrence, Jackson and Vinton counties. Rogers said about 100 essays were submitted about dreams and plans that students have to change their society, and that the contest winners will take a trip to the University of Rio Grande in the spring to tour the campus for a day. There were 11 winners total, with eight honorable mentions. The following students won the contest: Linae Scott, of Washington Elementary (Gallia County), first place; Lauren Clagg, of Jackson Southview Elementary (Jackson County), second place; Holly Cremeans, of Jackson Northview Elementary (Jackson County), third place; Alexis Bragg, of Jackson Northview Elementary (Jackson County); Blake Smith, of Green Elementary (Gallia County); Olivia Ratliff, of Green Elementary (Gallia County); Jaya Bragg, of Central Elementary (Vinton 373, which was passed in response to the Freedom Industries spill.

Dennis Lambert, a Lawrence County veteran, served as the event’s keynote speaker this year. Lambert spoke about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and related his teachings — such as civil disobedience and the importance of overcoming prejudices — to present-day society. “It’s hard to admit, but I do have my own prejudices. But I think if we admit them to ourselves — and let other people know what our prejudices are — hopefully we can all overcome those,” he said. Additionally, Lambert also encouraged attendees to get involved in their local agencies to support the needs of their individual communities. “Be a leader. Join groups in your community. Join the NAACP. Find out what we’re doing. Help us. Help our communities. Join any non-profit in your community,” he said, “We need to care for our neighbors.

The visiting Raiders (7-5) took a small 14-13 edge after eight minutes of play, but the Bobcats countered with a 17-12 second quarter run — sparked by a pair of Josh Karshner trifectas — that allowed GHS to secure a 30-26 advantage at the break.

Rio Grande women Seahawks stun Packers cruise past WVU Tech with late rally for 28-22 win By Randy Payton SEATTLE (AP) — After the chaos subsided, Earl Thomas sat in his locker quietly searching for a description. For a change, the normally chatty Seattle Seahawks’ All-Pro safety had little to say. “It’s hard to describe what just happened. We were down with 3 minutes left and look what happened. I’m clueless right now,” Thomas said. “I don’t know if I’m drained. I’m grateful.” By the time Jermaine Kearse caught a 35-yard touchdown from Russell Wilson 3:19 into overtime to give the Seahawks a 28-22 win over Green Bay and a second straight NFC championship Sunday, Seattle was spent. The Seahawks were down 16-0 at halftime. They trailed 19-7 with 3:52 remaining.

The RedStorm, who failed to connect on a potential game-winning three-pointer and two subsequent game-tying follow ups in the closing seconds of a two-point loss to the Golden Bears in November, built a quick double-digit lead and cruised to a 89-64 victory, Saturday afternoon, in non-conference women’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande improved to 12-6 with its third straight win. WVU-Tech suffered its ninth straight setback in falling to 5-12. The Golden Bears haven’t won since their November 22 win over the RedStorm. Rio Grande led from start to finish, jumping to a 12-2 lead just over three minutes into the contest and enjoying a cushion of no less than eight points the rest of the way.

The noisiest venue in the NFL was left on mute for most of the afternoon. All that made the eruption after Kearse’s TD catch even more meaningful for a team that felt they were counted out a number of times through the season. “As a true competitor, you can’t have any doubt. You can’t lack any confidence, because if you go out there, you’re already beat if you lack that confidence and that belief in yourself and your teammates,” Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. “So, never any doubt.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting during its search to replace Kyle Shanahan, said Trestman interviewed with Cleveland on Wednesday. Trestman was fired after the bears finished 5-11 and missed the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons. Chicago also fired general manager Phil Emery. The person says Browns tight ends coach Brian Angelichio is also a candidate for offensive coordinator, while team officials are also scheduled to interview Jets running back coach Anthony Lynn and Oakland Raiders quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo. Improving on offense is a top priority for the Browns, which finished 7-9 under coach Mike Pettine and missed the playoffs after losing their last five games. Number of underclassmen in 2015 NFL draft drops to 74 NEW YORK (AP) — A record number of undrafted underclassmen in 2014 may have dissuaded a few players from leaving school early for this year’s NFL draft. The early-entry list includes 74 players, with an additional 10 who became eligible for the draft after notifying the NFL they had graduated. A year ago, a record 98 players were granted special eligibility into the draft, leading to a record 36 underclassmen who went undrafted. It’s the first time since 2009 the number of early-entry players dropped from the previous year. Grapplers From Page 6 followed by Ripley and CD Hylton (Va) with two apiece.
