Meigs Chamber discusses prospective billing
By Donald Lambert

elambert@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — A new Ohio
“checkbook” website and
changes from the Ohio Bureau
of Workers’ Compensation
headlined the Meigs County
Chamber of Commerce meeting
Feb. 10.
Dan Risko, the regional representative under Ohio Treasurer
Josh Mendal, was on hand to
discuss a new website launched
by the Treasurer’s office in
December. The site, called
Ohio’s Online Checkbook, allows
people to check how the state

is spending money. The site is
set up as a Google-style search
engine where anyone can look
up how certain state-run agencies and companies who operate
in Ohio, like McDonald’s, spend
money. Searches can be dated
back seven years and are broken
down by state-run agencies and
then can be broken down further
into departments, payrolls, etc.
Risko said the website would
be able to include local businesses and local government, but
there was no time table set for
that to be available.
“Many states have a site like
this already in place,” Risko said.

“It makes the treasurer’s office
more transparent with how the
state uses money.”
Todd Spence, from the Ohio
Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, presented an update on
prospective billing. The plan will
provide flexibility for employers
while reducing overall systems
costs. This also enables the
BWC to collect premiums before
extending coverage.
Spence said the benefits of this
system for employers include
an overall base rate reduction of
2 percent for private employers
and 4 percent for public employers, and an increased ability for

the BWC to detect employer
non-compliance and fraud.
According to Spence, employers will pay their normal premium in February. In August,
employers will have a premium
due for the first half of 2015
and an estimated premium due
July 1, 2015, to June, 30, 2016.
Spence said that BWC will apply
a transition credit to cover the
Jan. 1, 2015, to June 30, 2015,
premium ($0 due).
Spence said every employer
will be defaulted to a bi-monthly
plan, with the option of changing
to a different payment plan prior
to their first premium payment.

Prospective billing won’t become
effective until July 1, for private
employers and Jan. 1, 2016, for
public employers.
For more information, contact
Spence at 614-644-1196 or email
at todd.s.1@bwc.state.
Other chamber business
included a rundown of upcoming
events, including the Valentine’s
Day dinner and movie in Middleport on Feb. 14. No date was set
for the next chamber meeting.

Point Pleasant
woman dies
in Gallia crash

Board
approves
new hires

KANAUGA — A West Virginia woman died Monday
night when the vehicle in which she was a passenger was
struck broadside and careened into a utility pole.
The accident happened at about 7:15 p.m. Monday on
State Route 735 and Burnette Road in Kanauga.
According to the Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Dixie L. Lilly, 67, of Point Pleasant, suffered
fatal injuries when the vehicle in which she was a riding
was struck on the passenger side by another vehicle.
According to the highway patrol, Sandra K. Willet, 72,
of Point Pleasant, and Lilly were traveling west along
Burnette Road in Willet’s 2001 Daewoo. OSHP said in its
accident report that Willet failed to yield the right of way
to a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Joy R. Moon, 40,
of Pomeroy, who was traveling north on State Route 735.
Moon’s Silverado reportedly struck the passenger side
of Willett’s vehicle, sending the Daewoo off the right side
of the road and into a utility pole.
Willet was transported to Holzer Health Systems and treated for minor injuries, while Moon was taken to Pleasant Valley
Hospital to be treated for her non-life-threatening injuries.
According to OSHP, Lilly was transported to Grant
Hospital in Columbus, where she later died. All three, the
highway patrol’s report says, were wearing seat belts at
the time of the crash.
Ohio 735 was reduced to one lane for a little more than
one hour.
The crash remains under investigation by OSHP.
Lilly and Willet are sisters and are well known in
Mason County for their charitable work with the organization, Charlie’s Angels, which was founded in memory
of Lilly’s late daughter, Angela “Charlie” Lilly. Charlie
died from breast cancer in 2005 at the age of 38, after
which her family founded the organization, raising well
over $100,000 for cancer research and also establishing the Angela “Charlie” Lilly Memorial Fund with the
Mason County Community Foundation.
In the wake of Dixie’s passing, the family has requested
that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the
Angela “Charlie” Lilly Scholarship Foundation, P.O. Box
1762, Parkersburg, WV 26102-1762.
Dixie’s obituary appears in Thursday’s print edition of
the Point Pleasant Register and online.

Board lays out path to select Pres.
Committee announced, search firm named, procedures approved
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Marshall University’s board of governors
on Wednesday laid out the search
process for the selection of the institution’s 37th president.
The position has been vacant since
the death of Dr. Stephen J. Kopp in
December.
The board passed a resolution that
its 16 members will be the voting
members of the search committee.
Michael G. Sellards, board chairman, will chair the search committee. Other board members include
Phyllis Arnold, James Bailes, Phil
Cline, Oshel Craigo, Tim Dagostine,
David Haden, Edward Howard III,
Christie Kinsey, Dale Lowther, Joseph
McDonie, Wyatt Scaggs, Dr. Joseph B.
Touma, Dr. Marty Amerikaner, Miriah Young and Duncan Waugaman.
Ex-officio, non-voting members
of the search committee will include
Gary G. White, interim president; A.
Michael Perry; board of governors
member emeritus; and Dr. Paul L.
Hill, chancellor of the West Virginia
Higher Education Policy Commission
(HEPC).
The board also selected AGB
Search Inc., to assist the university with the search process. AGB’s
services will include assisting with
preparation of the position announcement, creating a national advertising
strategy, collecting resumes, screening
applicants for the minimum qualifications, providing the selection committee with resumes of applicants who
meet the minimum qualifications,
conducting background and credential
checks, and providing the search committee with other advice and assistance as required.
Layton Cottrill, Marshall’s general
counsel, said, “Given the positive
momentum and unprecedented
success that Marshall University
experienced under President Kopp’s
leadership and continues to experience with Interim President White,
and given that the president acts as

the university’s CEO and the official
advisor to and executive agent of the
board and its executive committee,
the board determined it is essential
that the search procedure for the permanent president be swift, effective
and thorough.”
To that end, the board also adopted
the following search procedures,
which achieve those goals and comply
with HEPC rules:Input from Constituencies: The board of governors and
search committee will solicit the input
of Marshall University constituencies
concerning the best characteristics
and qualities for the presidential position, which will be used in the selection and evaluation of the candidates.
Position Announcement: The
position announcement shall be prepared detailing the characteristics and
qualities sought in the new president
and distributed nationally to appropriate newspapers and other media
sources, heads of higher education
associations and organizations, and
other appropriate individuals for the
purpose of advertising the position. At
a minimum, it will be posted on the
university’s website, sent as part of a
news release to the media, and placed
in advertisements in appropriate local,
state and national publications.
Selection Process: Following
the deadline for receipt of presidential nominations and applications,
the search committee will receive
from the search firm/consultant the
resumes of the applicants and/or
nominees who meet the minimum
qualifications of the search. The
search committee will determine the
applicants and/or nominees who will
move forward through the search
process.
Interim President White will not
be considered as a candidate for the
presidency.
It will be the ultimate responsibility of the search committee to
identify no less than three and not
more than five candidate finalists

to be interviewed on campus.
On-campus Interviews of finalists
Interviews with the finalists, as
determined by the search committee and governing board, shall be
conducted on campus, and during
the campus visits, students, classified
employees, non-classified employees,
faculty, campus administrators, community leaders, alumni and other individuals shall be invited to meet with
the candidates, and their comments
will be solicited and evaluated by the
governing board.
Confidentiality
Members of the governing board,
or any search committee appointed,
may not provide information about
the names or backgrounds of any
candidates, without their consent, to
anyone who is not a member of the
governing board or search committee, or authorized agents or staff as
designated in the search procedures
approved by the Higher Education
Policy Commission. When candidates
are invited to a preliminary interview
with the search committee, they will
be notified of the conditions under
which confidentiality may be waived
as to background checks and that
in the event they are invited for a
campus interview, their names and
backgrounds will be publicly released
at the time they accept an invitation
for a formal campus visit.
Timeframe
It is the ultimate goal of the board of
governors to have the new president
selected by the 2015 fall semester.
Implementation
Prior to implementation, these
procedures must be approved by
the West Virginia Higher Education
Policy Commission.
A website at www.marshall.edu/
presidential-search is being set up
to make information available as the
search proceeds. An online feedback
form will be available for people to
provide input.

Dems question
whether budget
creates barriers
By Ann Sanner
Associated Press

COLUMBUS — Democrats on a state legislative
panel questioned Wednesday whether Republican
Gov. John Kasich’s budget
would create barriers
to health care after the
administration recently
increased access for
thousands of low-income
residents.
The Kasich administration wants to charge
a monthly premium to
certain recipients on
Medicaid, the federal-state
health care program for
the poor and disabled.
The proposal comes
after the governor extended Medicaid eligibility in
2013 to cover more people.
Roughly 451,000 Ohioans
have enrolled under the
extension, which boosted
eligibility to those with
incomes up to 138 percent
of the federal poverty level,
or about $16,243 for an
individual.
The governor’s $72.3
billion state spending plan
would continue to fund
the Medicaid expansion.
But the Kasich administration has proposed
charging a monthly fee
to an estimated 100,000
Medicaid recipients with
incomes above the poverty line of about $11,770

for individuals. Those residents could pay an average of $20 per month to
access Medicaid coverage,
administration officials
said. The plan requires
federal approval.
The governor has
pitched the idea as helping to drive “personal
responsibility” in the program and make it easier
for residents to transition
off the Medicaid to private
coverage when they can.
Administration officials,
including the directors of
Ohio Medicaid and the
state’s Job and Family
Services Department, testified on the idea Wednesday before the House
Finance Committee.
Democrats on the
panel told the administration that they saw the
premiums in conflict
with expanded Medicaid
coverage, fearing it could
lead people to drop off
the program because they
couldn’t pay the cost.
State Rep. Dan Ramos,
a Lorain Democrat, said
the premiums could turn
into “more of an unnecessary burden or obligation.”
“We’re talking about
people who have responsibilities,” Ramos said,
noting that the recipients
likely had a job and were
paying rent and bills.

THEIR VIEW

What should
be the GOP
message for ‘16?
These pages have never been coy about our
dissatisfaction with the economic priorities of
the Obama administration. Over the course of six
years, this White House has consistently shown
itself devoted to higher levels of taxation, more
expansive regulation and more thoroughgoing federal control over wide swaths of the economy.
As such, it comes as little surprise to us that
even the so-called “recovery” we’re now in the
midst of is characterized by only modest growth
and a still-underperforming labor market.
As Republicans jockey to succeed Mr. Obama,
however, dismissing the failures of this administration will not be enough. Nor will simply relying on
typical GOP bromides.
Indeed, one of the deficiencies of Mitt Romney’s
2012 campaign was the former Massachusetts governor’s relentless focus on the economic concerns
of entrepreneurs and “job creators” to the exclusion of almost everybody else. While we agree
that any economic policy worth its salt has to take
seriously the plight of employers, a competitive
political party has to speak just as persuasively to
people who sign the back of checks as to people
who sign the front.
That’s why we applaud potential Republican
presidential candidates who are making the effort
to make the party’s economic message more
inclusive. While we don’t always see eye to eye
with Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor is to
be applauded this week for taking his message of
a “right to rise” for impoverished Americans to
Detroit. Nor is he the first such Republican to do
so. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has also backed similar efforts, helping to launch the first GOP office
in the Motor City in 2013.
There are plenty of economic issues beyond
taxes and regulation that affect everyday Americans, foremost among them the pressure that
government has put on prices for basic goods
like health care, higher education and energy. In
order to deserve the votes of the American people,
Republican candidates ought to focus on how to
lower costs while increasing quality for these vital
necessities.
Rallying support for free markets is essential to
the country’s economic future. That process will
be considerably easier if Republicans underline the
fact that the benefits flow to all Americans, not
just to members of the investor class.

It smacks of a religious worldview that makes secularists

a total commitment to fighting
the enemy, since a campaign to

If Bush was ill-served at times by
his stubbornness and certainty, it’s
always worth remembering that
Democrats were perfectly content
to lose to al-Qaida in Iraq when
Bush was ordering the surge in
2007, and Obama’s insistence on
pulling out of Iraq entirely was a
priceless boon to ISIS.
Obama was allegedly the
embodiment of a wholly different
approach than Bush, much more
nuanced than his predecessor and
his embarrassing nomenclature
of “evil.” Yet Obama’s doubts
were more about the usefulness
and goodness of American power
than about his own purposes. He
pursued the “end” of the Bush-era
wars at all costs, regardless of
the depravity of the forces on the
ground who would benefit.
We were supposed to be beyond

other side didn’t get the memo and
never left the field. It’s almost as if
the greatest trick evil ever played
was persuading the left not to call
it by its proper name.

Potholes, bad
streets keeping
Ohio crews busy
COLUMBUS (AP) — Road crews in Columbus have
filled thousands more potholes this season compared to
last year, transportation officials reported, while other
Ohio cities have dealt with increased roadwork budgets
and residents’ complaints in a wild winter.
Columbus road crews have filled nearly 19,600 potholes since the beginning of November, up from about
14,100 potholes at the same time last year, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
Big swings in temperatures have led to crumbling
streets as pavement freezes and thaws. But less snowfall
this winter has allowed workers to repair potholes rather
than clear streets, transportation officials said. The lack
of snow also makes potholes easier to spot.
Columbus has recorded about 15.5 inches of snow this
winter, compared to 47.6 inches last year at the same time.
“Last winter was far worse than this winter,” said
Rick Tilton with the city’s department of public service.
“We have been pretty aggressive out there looking for
potholes.”

Marauders nip Nelsonville-York
By Alex Hawley

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Free throws
and defense lead Marauders to sweep of
Nelsonville-York.
The Meigs boys basketball team trailed
by two points with 40 seconds left in the
Tuesday night’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio
Division tilt at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The Maroon and Gold hit 5-of-6 free
throws and held the Buckeyes scoreless
over the remainder of the game to take a
57-54 triumph over NYHS.
The Buckeyes (7-12, 2-8 TVC Ohio) held
Meigs (8-12, 4-6) scoreless for over four
minutes and scored the first six points of
the game, but Meigs rallied back to cut
the deficit to 11-10 at the end of the first
period.
Nelsonville-York expanded the lead out to
seven points within the first two minutes of
the second canto, but the Maroon and Gold
answered with a three minute, 15-2 run.
The Orange and Brown closed the half with
a 5-to-1 run, and the Marauders led 26-24 at

Carman becomes fourth Lady
Defender with 1,000 career points
By Alex Hawley

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
Just when you thought
a tournament victory
couldn’t get any better.
Ohio Valley Christian senior Emily Carman made a layup on
an assist from Rachel
Sargent, making Carman the fourth Lady
Defender in school history to surpass the career
1,000 point milestone.
Carman’s 1,000th point
came as part of a 18-0
run for OVCS and the
Lady Defenders claimed
a 35-20 victory over
Coshocton Christian, in
the OCSAA southeast
regional semifinal in Gallia County.
“For most of the season I really didn’t think
I would be able to come
back out on the floor,”
Carman said. “It means a
lot that I got to reach this
milestone and more that
we won the game.”
Carman — who now
has 1,002 career points
— joins Hallie Carter,
Abby Mein and Madison
Crank as the member
of the Lady Defenders
1,000-point club. Emily
and her brother Pete,
who surpassed the 1,000
point milestone in 2012,
are the only siblings in
OVCS history to both

reach the 1,000 point
milestone.
“It’s a great milestone
for her to reach, I believe
she’s that fourth girl in
the history over OVCS
to do that and she’s a
great player,” third year
OVCS head coach Chris
Burnett said. “Its been
a rough senior year for
her with injuries, she’s
broke her leg twice, and
to come back from that
is big. We’re excited that
she could do that and that
she’s back with us and
we’re excited for what the
future holds.”
The Lady Defenders
(9-11) began the game
with a 3:30 7-0 run, but
the Lady Wildcats scored
seven of the next 11
points to trim the deficit
to 11-7 at the end of the
opening stanza.
Ohio Valley Christian
shot just 1-of-15 from the
field in the second period,
allowing Coshocton
Christian to rally back
and take the 14-13 lead at
halftime.
CCS pushed its lead to
18-15 three minutes into
the second half, but the
Lady Defenders scored 10
unanswered points to end
the third quarter with a
25-18 lead.
OVCS continued the
run in the finale, as the
Lady Defenders scored
the first eight points of

the fourth, including six
by Carman. Coshocton
Christian failed to make a
shot from the field in the
fourth, scoring just two
points on free throws,
and the Lady Defenders
cruised to the 35-20 victory.
“In the second half we
played better defense
and we stayed out of foul
trouble,” Burnett said.
“We challenged them to
pick it up and play better. They knew this was
a tournament game and
we came out and played a
good second half.”
Rachel Sargent led the
Lady Defenders with a
double-double with 17
points and 13 rebounds,
while also marking team-

highs in assists with four
and blocks with two.
Teah Elliot marked
eight points and eight
rebounds, while Carman
added six points and
two assists. Cassandra
Hutchison and Kristen
Durst both marked two
points with eight and five
rebounds respectively.
Emily Childers marked a
team-high five steals for
the OVCS defense, while
Ashley Childers and Yu
Yan Sun each added two
steals.

Chicago’s Little League team stripped of title

that after the league had

some team officials went

“This is a heartbreaking decision,” Stephen

The team has been

and when it was over,
thousands of people lined
Chicago’s streets to catch
a glimpse of the boys as
they were paraded by bus
from their South Side
baseball field to a downtown park. There were
countless heartwarming
stories about the team,
including an effort by
major league players to
contribute money so the
parents in the blue collar
community could attend
the World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania,
and another about Cubs
players huddled around
a television watching the
team during a rain delay
at Wrigley Field. The
team was treated to a trip
to the major league World
Series and to the White
House to meet President Barack Obama and
the first lady, Michelle
Obama.

In October, the organization launched an investigation when a coach
from a nearby suburb
alleged that Jackie Robinson West had violated
rules by poaching top
suburban players. The
story, which was first
reported by DNAinfo.
com, appeared to end
in December when the
national organization said
it had uncovered no violations. But the organization said it would reopen
the investigation if new
information surfaced.
About that same time, the
organization learned of
questions about boundary
maps involving multiple
leagues, and the investigation resumed.

Buckeyes’ national title gets
Ohio Statehouse recognition
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University’s
football team has been recognized at the Statehouse
for its national championship.
Coach Urban Meyer and his players were honored
by state lawmakers during Wednesday sessions of the
Ohio House and state Senate.
Ohio State beat Oregon 42-20 in the inaugural
national championship game on Jan. 12. The Buckeyes earned the final playoff spot after losing two
starting quarterbacks to injuries.
Legislators congratulated the team and praised the
players’ athleticism. Team members and Meyer joined
Ohio State President Michael Drake to accept resolutions honoring the Buckeyes’ accomplishments.
Meyer said the team showed selflessness and perseverance after losing their starting quarterbacks.
The Statehouse recognition comes after the team’s
national championship trophy was displayed in the
capitol over the weekend.

will provide a yearly scholarship to those students,
according to the Mountaineer Athletic Club.
The foundation’s namesake is Marc Bulger, a former
Mountaineer and NFL quarterback.
Bulger says his grandfather was a city police officer
and the endowment is a way to give back to WVU.

Steelers will face Vikings
in Hall of Fame game

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings
and Pittsburgh Steelers will open the 2015 NFL preseason in the Hall of Fame game.
The game will be Sunday, Aug. 9 and televised by

The teams will close out the enshrinement weekend a day after two of their former players will be
enshrined into the Hall of Fame.
Steelers running back Jerome Bettis and Vikings
center Mick Tingelhoff are among the eight-man class
recently elected to the Hall.

“The last minute and a

all the difference in the
world,” first year Marauders head coach Ed Fry
said. “Instead of a big guy
in there we had Dillon
Mahr running the middle
and he did a terrific job.
“In our team devotional
today our team Chaplin

David as being a short,

Helmet cams, sideline
computers coming to college
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA football rules
committee wants to experiment with helmet cameras,
wireless communication between coaches and players
on the field and the use of computers on the sideline.
The committee announced Wednesday after two
days of meetings in Indianapolis that it was hoping
to gather data about expanding the use of technology
in college football with an eye toward implementing
rules as soon as possible.
The NCAA says several conferences proposed
experimenting with these rules and committee chairman and Air Force coach Troy Calhoun suggested the
technology be used in some December bowl games
during the 2015 season.
The committee also passed a proposal to adjust the
ineligible downfield rule from 3 yards to 1 yard past
the line of scrimmage and to allow for eight-man officiating crews.

was real proud of them
being able to close out a
game like this.”
The Buckeyes were
