The county had been awarded the $700,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the West Virginia Public Port Authority to construct a new EOC. The grant agreement between the Port of Huntington TriState, Area Maritime Security Committee and Meigs County Emergency Services Agency had been signed on March 8, 2012, to award the funding to the county. The project was delayed slightly last year due to questions about the time in which the funds must be spent. The project must now be completed by Dec. 31, 2013. The 5,000-square-foot EOC constructed on property provided by the Community Improvement Corporation and located near the newly built Family Healthcare medical office on Pomeroy Pike. A standalone emergency room facility is also to be constructed in the area with Holzer Health Systems operating the facility. In other business, a renewal of the contract with the Ohio Public Defender’s Office was renewed. The vacating of a public rightof-way in the new Portland subdivision in Lebanon Township was approved. It was noted that Matthew Mackay of New York had made a $1,700 donation to the Meigs County Dog Pound through the United States Humane Society. PSI Construction was recently awarded the bid for the Rutland Fire Department Storage Facility project. Funds were established for the Emergency Operations Center funds. Bills were paid in the amount of $214,579.27, with $4,930.35. At the request of Chris Shank, Director of Job and family Services, Dorothy Gerard was moved from her position as Eligibility Referral Specialist I to Eligibility Referral Specialist II. The commissioners approved a proclamation recognizing the National Day of Prayer as May 2, 2013. Mason heroin busts Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com A handicap ramp makes it much easier for Mrytis Parker to get to her door. Submitted photos Scouts build access ramp for resident POMEROY — An access ramp built by members of Boy Scout Troop 235 at the Pomeroy home of Myrtis Parker makes it much easier for her to get from the street to her front door. While the scouts and the leaders of the Troop provided all the labor, the project was primarily funded by the New Beginnings Methodist Church in Pomeroy, pastored by the Rev. Brian Dunham. Some additional contributions toward the cost came from Joe Struble of Pomeroy and the Boy Scout Troop. All of the work which went into constructing the ramp was provided by the Troop 235 including Scoutmaster Erik Aanestad, Assistant Scoutmaster Don Swatzel, and Troop committee members, Mike Evans, Mike Harbour, Bob Brooks, and Jeff Nottingham. Scouts working on the project included Sean Evans, Ryan Harbour, Andy Brooks, and Isaac Nottingham. MASON — Mason Police Officers recently arrested two men within days of each other with both arrests involving alleged black tar heroin. Jerome K. Howard, 50, Mason and Mark Hollingshead, 26, Grove City, Ohio, have both been charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Howard was arrested first, according to his booking date at the Western Regional Jail, followed by Hollingshead who was booked into the facility three days later. Both have appeared in Mason County Magistrate Court where their bonds were set at $25,000, each. As of Tuesday evening, both men remained housed in the regional jail. According to Chief D. Woolard, Patrolman D. McCoy and Patrolman J. Roach conducted a search warrant, on Howard’s residence at 57 Front St. with assistance from the New Haven Police Depart- ment and Mason County Sheriff’s Department. The criminal complaint filed in magistrate court states Howard gave an officer a white pill bottle with two individually packaged pieces of what Howard identified as black tar heroin. The complaint says the substance was packaged in a manner consistent with the sell of heroin. As for Hollingshead, the criminal complaint states Patrolmen McCoy and Roach witnessed Hollingshead park at 57 Front St., then walk to a car located on Anderson St, handing something to the passenger inside the vehicle. Alleged black tar heroin was later seized from the alleged purchasers, according to the complaint. Law enforcement officials state heroin is becoming more popular due to its “inexpensive” high when compared to pain pills which are becoming harder to obtain due to closer monitoring and manufacturers who have made some of them indestructible and therefore unable to be crushed. Gallia, Meigs SWCDs, EMAs to hold safety meeting Members and leaders of Boy Scout Troop 235 of Chester built the ramp as a community service project. GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia and Meigs Soil and Water Conservation Districts in conjunction with Gallia and Meigs Emergency Management Directors will hold a joint Dam Safety Meeting from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, at the C.

COAD provides director for Meigs RSVP Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Council on Aging’s Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), discontinued last year due to federal and state funding cuts, is being reactivated by the Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development (COAD). Katie Alexander, a native of Gallia County, has been employed by COAD to resume senior volunteer activities. The Yesteryear program where seniors teach Meigs County fifth graders the skills of generations past is currently being held. The Seniors in Schools program where volunteers go into the schools and share Meigs County history with third graders will be resumed in the fall, Alexander said. After completing a master’s degree at a Canadian University, she worked for two years in volunteer management for a nonprofit community resource center in Alberta, Canada, before moving back home to be with her family. She said that she enjoyed the work at the resource center and is happy to be able to again be working in a similar kind of job here. Her goal, she said, is “to reconnect with seniors, reactivate discontinued programs, and initiate new ones.” Alexander works at an office in the Senior Citizens Center with space and a computer being provided by the Meigs County Council on Aging. The Yesteryear program got underway this week and will be continued through May 20. Students from all three school districts, Eastern, Meigs and Southern, and the MidValley Christian School are participating in learning various skills on different days of the week. The skills are taught by creative senior citizens who volunteer their services. The new director is the daughter of Brad and Stephanie Alexander, both graduates of Meigs High School, now residing in Vinton, and the granddaughter of Steve Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Houchins of Middleport.

FBI: Three removed backpack from Boston suspect’s room BOSTON (AP) — Three college friends of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were arrested and accused Wednesday of removing a backpack containing fireworks emptied of gunpowder from Tsarnaev’s dorm room three days after the attack to try to keep him from getting into trouble. Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev were charged with conspiring to obstruct justice. A third man, Robel Phillipos, was charged with lying to investigators about the visit to Tsarnaev’s room. In court papers, the FBI said Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev agreed to throw the backpack in the garbage — it was later found in a landfill by law enforcement officers — after concluding from news reports that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was one of the bombers. A court appearance for the three was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. Their lawyers refused to comment ahead of the hearing. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured on April 15 when two bombs exploded near the finish line. The suspect’s brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died after a gunfight with police days later. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, was captured and lies in a prison hospital. Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev, who are from Kazakhstan, have been held in jail for more than a week on allegations that they violated their student visas while attending UMass. All three men charged Wednesday began attending UMass with Tsarnaev at the same time in 2011, the according to the FBI. The three were not accused of any direct involvement in the bombing itself. But in a footnote in the court papers outlining the charges, the FBI said that about a month before the bombing, Tsarnaev told Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev that he knew how to make a bomb. Authorities allege that on the night of April 18, after the FBI released photos of the bombing suspects and the three men suspected their friend was one of them, they went to Tsarnaev’s dorm room. The men noticed a backpack containing fireworks, which had been opened and emptied of powder, the FBI said. The FBI said that Kadyrbayev knew when he saw the empty fireworks that Tsarnaev was involved in the bombings and decided to remove the backpack from the room “in order to help his friend Tsarnaev avoid trouble.” He also decided to remove Tsarnaev’s laptop, the FBI said in court papers. After the three men returned to Kadyrbayev’s and Tazhayakov’s apartment with the backpack and computer, they watched news reports featuring photographs of Tsarnaev. The FBI affidavit said Kadyrbayev told authorities the three men then “collectively decided to throw the backpack and fireworks into the trash because they did not want Tsarnaev to get into trouble.” Kadyrbayev said he placed the backpack and fireworks along with trash from the apartment into a large trash bag and threw it into a garbage bin near the men’s apartment. Meanwhile, Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s relatives will claim his body now that his wife has agreed to release it, an uncle said. The body of Tsarnaev, 26, has been at the medical examiner’s office in Massachusetts since he died after a gunfight with authorities more than a week ago. Amato DeLuca, the Rhode Island attorney for his widow, Katherine Russell, said Tuesday that his client had just learned that the medical examiner was ready to release Tsarnaev’s body and that she wants it released to his side of the family. Police said Tsarnaev ran out of ammunition before his 19-year-old brother dragged his body under a vehicle while fleeing the scene. His cause of death has been determined but will not be made public until his remains are claimed. “Of course, family members will take possession of the body,” uncle Ruslan Tsarni of Maryland said Tuesday night. “We’ll do it. We will do it. A family is a family.” He would not elaborate. Tsarnaev’s parents are still in Russia, but he has other relatives on his side of the family in the U.S., including Tsarni.

Ohio executes man who killed, raped 6-month-old LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) — One family wept loudly and another family cheered Wednesday as a man was executed for killing a 6-month-old as he raped her. Steve Smith, 46, was executed by lethal injection at the state prison in Lucasville in southern Ohio for the 1998 killing of his live-in girlfriend’s daughter, Autumn Carter, in Mansfield. Smith had recently tried to get his sentence reduced to life in prison, arguing that he was too drunk to realize that his assault was killing Autumn and that he didn’t mean to hurt her. The Ohio Parole Board and Gov. John Kasich turned him down unanimously. In the 25 minutes between when Smith walked into the death chamber flanked by prison guards and when the lethal injection killed him, his only child, 21-year-old Brittney, and his niece sobbed and shook with grief. Smith declined to say any last words, then looked at Brittney sitting behind a pane of glass. “I love you,” Brittney said as she wept. Smith turned his head away and appeared to be struggling not to cry, his chin shaking. As the lethal injection began, Smith took several heavy breaths before he closed his eyes. He was pronounced dead at 10:29 a.m. Less than 3 feet away from Brittney and separated by a wall, Autumn’s mother — Kesha Frye — watched Smith quietly. After he was dead, Frye’s sister pumped her fists in the air. “I’m glad he’s dead, and I hope he burns in hell,” Frye said surrounded by her family after the execution. Frye’s father and Autumn’s grandfather, Patrick Hicks, said Smith’s execution was too good for him. “Because of him, Autumn never had a chance to take her first step, she never had her first birthday or a first day of school,” he said. “It’s just unfortunate that this man gets to die a peaceful death after the torture he put Autumn through.” Days before the execution, Brittney Smith said that she has never believed her father killed Autumn and that he had only admitted to it because he had given up hope. “I know my dad’s innocent,” she said. “I do not believe he did this, and you know, he raised all my cousins, my sister before I was even born, and he never did anything (sexually).” After the execution, Smith’s attorney, Joseph Wilhelm, said that his client “felt great remorse for the tragic and shocking crime he committed.” “He was well-behaved and sober while in prison, causing no problems in the institution and living each day with the guilt and grief caused by his alcohol-fueled crime,” said Wilhelm, who also witnessed the execution. “While some may trumpet his execution as appropriate revenge for his crime, Ohio is no safer having executed Steven Smith than had he lived the remainder of his natural life in prison.” Back on the night of Sept. 29, 1998, Frye was awoken by Smith, her live-in boyfriend of four months. Smith, who was drunk and naked, laid a naked and lifeless Autumn on Frye’s bed, according to court records. Frye rushed the baby and her other 2-year-old daughter to a neighbor’s house and called 911. Autumn was pronounced dead after doctors tried to revive her for more than an hour, and Smith was arrested. The baby was covered in bruises and welts and had severe injuries showing she had been brutally raped, though no semen was present. At the home, there was no sign of forced entry, and police found a large amount of white cloth that came from Autumn’s diaper strewn about; police found the rest of the diaper in a garbage bin outside, along with 10 empty cans of beer. At the time, Smith told police that he “didn’t do anything.” “I’m not sick like that,” he said. At trial, Smith didn’t testify in his own defense on the advice of his attorneys, even as prosecutors repeatedly referred to him as a “baby raper,” showed pictures of Autumn’s battered body and told jurors that her assault lasted up to a half-hour. Expert witnesses for Smith testified that he might have accidentally suffocated the girl within three to five minutes of the assault. The jury found Smith guilty of aggravated murder and sentenced him to die. At an April 2 hearing in which Smith sought to have his death sentence reduced to life in prison, Smith told the Ohio Parole Board that he was sorry and wished he could ask Autumn for forgiveness. Smith spent his last night eating pizza, fried fish, chocolate ice cream and soda, listening to the Cincinnati Reds play the St. Louis Cardinals, mailing letters and visiting with his daughter and niece, prison officials said. Smith became the 51st inmate put to death in Ohio since it resumed executions in 1999. The state has enough of its lethal injection drug, the powerful sedative pentobarbital, to execute two other inmates before the supply expires. Eight more inmates are scheduled to die from November through mid-2015.

It hasn’t disappeared entirely, but it’s certainly endangered. Which may be one reason there’s been another change I’ve seen in politics over the years. I first went to Congress at a time when Americans had faith in the institutions of government. The year I ran for office, Lyndon Johnson was campaigning for President on a platform that the country could successfully wage a war against poverty. Today, it seems inconceivable that a politician would be so bold or so naïve — it’s not just that Americans have been chastened in their ambitions in the nearly 50 years since, but that they would have very little confidence that government could deliver. Congress can’t even get a normal budget done on time. A “war” on anything seems beyond its grasp. I don’t mean to be entirely negative. Politics’ greater intensity also has its bright spots. There are more and often better sources of information. Ordinary Americans are highly engaged, with more avenues of entry into the system. If you want to understand even the most complex issues facing Congress, it’s possible to learn about them far more easily than just a few decades ago. Perhaps that’s something to build on. With greater public sophistication about a complex system, Americans might also show more patience with politicians trying in good faith to resolve our challenges. And if that happens, who knows? Maybe we’ll even discover that government can, in fact, successfully tackle the big problems. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years. Dr. Paul G. Kengor Patti Davis, Ronald Reagan’s daughter, recently speculated on where her father might stand on same-sex marriage. Politico published her thoughts under the headline, “Patti Davis says Reagan wouldn’t have opposed gay marriage.” The impact of the article was immediate. A quick Google search yielded multiple follow-up articles and blog posts. Liberals nationwide were off and running with a new same-sex marriage endorsement: this one from Reagan, the conservative’s conservative. This is not the first time liberals have rushed to recast Reagan according to their policy preferences. Immediately after his death in June 2004, he was trotted out as a poster-boy for embryonic stem-cell research. Please, not so fast. In Davis’ defense, she starts with a crucial point about her father, one liberals had utterly refused while the man was alive: “He was a very tolerant person.” Indeed, Reagan was tolerant — on religion, on race, on ethnic differences, on differences of opinion on many things, and also toward gays. As Davis notes, “He did not have prejudices against gay people.” Davis gives just a few of many examples. But she then goes where I don’t think we should. She states of her father and samesex marriage: “I don’t think he would stand in the way of it, at all. I don’t think he would stand in the way of two people wanting to make a commitment to one another.” Davis then uses an argument that is libertarian (which Reagan was not), and which fails to understand the essence of conservatives’ objection to same-sex marriage: “I also think because he wanted government out of peoples’ lives, he would not understand the intrusion of government banning such a thing. This is not what he would have thought government should be doing.” The problem with that statement, applied to the same-sex marriage debate, is this: Conservatives object to the federal government rendering unto itself the unprecedented ability to redefine marriage. Such is a massive step toward government intervention (one that should worry libertarians), toward powerful government, toward big government — not restrained and limited government. It is a step that breaks entirely new ground in not only American history but human history, one with unimaginable and extraordinary effects yet to come on the family, the culture, the economy, government services and (among others) the court system. The essence of conservatism is to preserve and conserve time-tested values that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Conservatives — which is what Reagan was — aim to conserve. By their nature and definition, conservatives do not rush into radical changes or what they fear may be another fad or fashion or popular demand. They also, by their definition, ground their ideals in both natural law and biblical law. I know that secular liberals don’t want to hear religious arguments against same-sex marriage, but, if we’re talking about Reagan (and conservatives), we cannot exclude them. Contrary to the image of him as president, Reagan was very religious and would not have so easily consented to a culture suddenly demanding the right to redefine what the scriptures (Old Testament and New Testament) say clearly about a man and a woman leaving their parents and coming together to form one flesh in marriage. Reagan’s religious roots were deep, inculcated by his mother, an extremely devout, traditional Christian, and others who profoundly influenced him in Dixon, Illinois, in the 1920s. He said that “everything” he learned about the values that shaped his life and presidency he learned back in Dixon. It was his “inheritance,” one that never left him. Needless to say, Reagan did not learn to support same-sex marriage in Dixon. Moreover, Reagan was unwavering in his conviction of the importance of a father and a mother raising children and the next generation of American citizens and understood marriage as a vital bond between a man and a woman. To cite just one example from the final days of his presidency (January 12, 1989), Reagan insisted that “we must teach youngsters the beauty of the loving, lifelong relationship between husband and wife that is marriage.” Yes, Reagan was tolerant of gay people — as is everyone I know who opposes same-sex marriage — but that in no way means he would have advocated redefining marriage. Toleration of something certainly does not automatically translate into advocating its legalization. We could list innumerable things that we tolerate — including from friends and family and loved ones — but wouldn’t argue legalizing. Even then, that’s not quite the issue. The issue, after all, isn’t whether homosexuality should be legal (no one objects to that) but whether marriage will now begin a long process of continual redefinition. It’s a form of intellectual laziness for liberals/progressives to reflexively assume that anyone who disagrees with them on redefining marriage is a recalcitrant bigot with no possible legitimate reasons.

(AP) — The percentage of 4-yearolds enrolled in preschool classes in West Virginia is the fifth highest in the country, according to a national study. The National Institute for Early Education Research study gave the state high marks overall. The study found that about 61 percent of 4-year-olds were enrolled in state-funded preschool in 2011-12, up from 58 percent the year before. According to the state, about 16,000 West Virginia children are enrolled in pre-K programs. Legislation passed this year requires every West Virginia county to offer full-day preschool for 4-year-olds by fall 2016. “We are pleased to see West Virginia has stayed on schedule as it marches toward its goal of universal access to preK,” NIEER director Steve Barnett said. “It serves as a model for other states.” The report found West Vir- ginia increased preschool state funding in 2011-12 to about $6,000 per child, compared with about $5,600 the year before. Both figures ranked eighth among the states. The national average is about $3,800. “Providing high quality pre-K and rich educational opportunities to all children is paramount to their future success,” said state schools Superintendent James Phares. “Kindergarten teachers will tell you children who attend Vt. woman disfigured in attack reveals new face BOSTON (AP) — A Vermont woman revealed her new face Wednesday, six years after her exhusband disfigured her by dousing her with industrial-strength lye, and said she went through “what some may call hell” but has found a way to be happy. Carmen Blandin Tarleton of Thetford had face transplant surgery at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital in February and spoke publicly for the first time at a news conference at the hospital Wednesday. “I’m now in a better place, mentally and emotionally, than I ever could have imagined six years ago,” Tarleton said. “I want to share my experience with others, so they may find that strength inside themselves to escape their own pain.” In 2007, the 44-yearold mother of two was attacked by her now exhusband Herbert Rodgers, who believed she was see- ing another man. Police say he went to the house looking for that man, then went into a fury directed toward Tarleton, striking her with a bat and pouring lye from a squeeze bottle onto her face. When police arrived, Tarleton was trying to crawl into a shower to wash away the chemical, which had already distorted her face. In 2009, Rodgers pleaded guilty to maiming Tarleton in exchange for a prison sentence of at least 30 years. The hospital said that during the face transplant surgery, more than 30 surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses worked for more than 15 hours to replace her skin, muscles, tendons and nerves. The face donor was a Williamstown, Mass., woman, Cheryl Denelli Righter, who died of a sudden stroke, a hospital spokeswoman said. Righter’s daughter, Marinda, told Tarleton on Wednesday that she looked beautiful, adding she was certain her mother had somehow picked Tarleton. “They are both mothers, they are both survivors, they are both beacons of light,” she said. Righter said that after meeting Tarleton for the first time Tuesday, she felt overjoyed for the first time in a long time. “I get to feel my mother’s skin again, I get to see my mother’s freckles, and through you, I get to see my mother live on,” she said. “This is truly a blessing.” Tarleton is legally blind and read her remarks from a tablet. She thanked Righter’s family for what she called “a tremendous gift” that’s greatly alleviated the physical pain she’d felt daily. Tarleton referred to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and said the city is “facing the challenges of pain and forgiveness.” high quality preschool enter kindergarten ready to learn with skills that children who don’t attend pre-K have yet to develop. It kick-starts learning.” West Virginia’s pre-K program continued to meet eight of 10 quality standard benchmarks. The unmet benchmarks involve degree requirements for teachers and their assistants. The Legislature this year passed a bill effective in July 2014 to require preschool aides to attain higher levels of education. It exempts current aides who will retire by mid-2020. “Our governor and Legislature should be given high praise for making early education a priority,” said Lloyd Jackson, a state Board of Education member and former state senator. “It is well established that our youngest learners will succeed in being college, career and citizenship ready if provided access to a high quality early childhood system.” Tax Day collections zap W.Va. revenue deficit CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The April 15 deadline for income tax returns helped erase West Virginia’s general revenue deficit for the budget year, though state officials remain pessimistic about collections for the year’s remaining two months. State government had expected $511 million from general taxes in April and instead reaped nearly $565 million. That closed a $49 million year-to-date gap, leaving revenues $4.6 million ahead for the budget year that ends June 30. Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow cites late 2012 uncertainty over how Congress would decide tax policies. This nervousness prompted property sales for capital gains, higher than expected dividends and salary bonuses, and other steps that boosted incomes and the taxes owed on them, Muchow said Wednesday. Other key revenue sources were flat or fell below their April estimates. Sales taxes were expected to bring in $103.4 million but missed that mark by $2.7 million. Taxes on corporate net income and business equity were off by a third, totaling $31.4 million. Severance taxes on coal, natural gas and other extracted resources were projected to bring in $45 million and were $2.5 million short. But Muchow said West Virginia’s energy sector has begun holding steady after months of weak revenues from declining coal production and natural gas prices. Muchow expects below-estimate collections in both May and June, but also believes the state will avoid a budget deficit. At Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s request, the Legislature cut $28 million from current spending during its recent session. A special reserve fund, meanwhile, will ensure enough money for income tax refunds, Muchow said. “Those are tools used to make sure the revenues at the end of the year are balanced with the expenditures,” Muchow said. “Any doubt about that was eliminated by the April numbers.” Couple in W.Va. torture Girl pleads guilty in slaying of teen case accused of taking son CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia woman and the husband accused of chaining and torturing her for years were behind bars Wednesday on charges they violated a custody order for their 2-year-old son. Stephanie Lizon, 43, and Peter Lizon, 39, were being held at the South Central Regional Jail. Her bond is $50,000. His is set at $5,000. Media outlets say the couple was arrested after authorities found their son at their Jackson County farm. Stephanie Lizon had moved to Alexandria, Va., with her parents after her husband’s arrest on a malicious wounding charge last summer. Her parents won custody of her son in December, but authorities say she recently took the boy from them. Stephanie Lizon is charged with child concealment; her husband is charged with obstruction for allegedly lying about his wife and son’s whereabouts. Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Herb Faber said Stephanie Lizon’s parents were concerned because they had been unable to contact their daughter. The attorney for Thomas and Kathleen Hofeller of Alexandria, Va., told authorities they did not want the boy near his father. A criminal complaint says Peter Lizon denied his wife and son were present when deputies questioned him, but they heard the boy crying and found them both in a bedroom. The boy will be reunited with his grandparents. Last July, Peter Lizon was charged with malicious wounding when his wife told another woman that she had been held captive and tortured for 10 years. But in a courtroom later, Stephanie Lizon denied she’d been abused, offering different explanations for injuries ranging from frying pan burns on her breast and back to bruised ribcage and a swollen foot. She said the burns occurred during an accidental collision during an argument over breakfast. She blamed other injuries on a goat, a stumble and a piece of heavy equipment. A domestic violence shelter manager, however, said Stephanie Lizon told her the injuries were all deliberately inflicted. Investigators had 45 photographs of the burns, scars and other injuries that were documented during her two-day stay at a shelter. Peter Lizon has yet to be indicted in that case. University board backs the president after a faculty vote CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall University’s Board of Governors gave its “overwhelming” support to President Stephen J. Kopp on Wednesday, despite an earlier vote of no confidence by university faculty after Kopp moved funds between departments without prior notification. The faculty vote was released earlier Wednesday by the Marshall Faculty Senate. Of the 420 faculty members who took part in online voting over the past week, 290 voted no confidence in Kopp, 107 supported him, and 23 abstained. Dr. Joseph Touma, chairman of the Board of Governors, said Kopp has exceeded the board’s performance expectations in several areas. “The board also believes that he is the right person to keep our great university moving in the right direction,” Touma said. The board on April 18 tabled a proposal by Kopp to overhaul the school’s budget policies. Kopp had ordered the transfer of nearly all funds from department accounts into a central holding account so that revenues and expenses could be analyzed. Faculty members criticized the move, saying they weren’t notified until after the fact. Kopp later apologized and had the money returned. “Our shared goal is to do what is best for our students. We can only achieve this by working together openly in a renewed and genuine spirit of cooperation,” Touma said. Kopp said he respects the faculty’s vote and is pleased to have the Board of Governor’s support. “However, the budget challenges we set out to address remain and I do not see additional public funding on the horizon,” Kopp said. “We have much work to do in the coming days and months to ensure Marshall continues its progress with even more limited public resources. “I am extremely proud to lead this great institution and I want everyone to know that, while we have tremendous challenges ahead, they present an opportunity to find even more ways for us to work together.” Kopp has said Marshall’s current budgeting model isn’t suitable for an institution of its size, especially when it’s facing a $5 million cut in state funding. Marshall has about 14,000 students. Kopp wants a more centralized model to allow for better fiscal management, simplified fees for students and the creation of a faculty and staff compensation pool. Touma said in order to find budgetary and other solutions, first there must be an atmosphere that fosters constructive dialogue. “We expect better communication and collegiality from all constituent groups and consider this an opportunity to establish common ground on which we can address the financial and other obstacles that lie ahead,” he said. M O RG A N T OW N, W.Va. (AP) — A 16-year-old Morgantown girl pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Wednesday, and another girl is facing charges in the stabbing death of a Star City teenager last summer. Rachel Shoaf appeared Wednesday in Monongalia County Circuit Court after agreeing to plead as an adult, said U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld. She is in custody until sentencing. The plea agreement offers no insight into the motive for the slaying but says Shoaf inflicted the fatal wounds on 16-year-old Skylar Neese, an honors student at University High school. Neese’s remains were found in Wayne Township, Pa., in January, about 30 miles from her family’s home. Prosecutors plan to recommend a 20-year sentence for Shoaf and indicate they will oppose any move to have her sentenced as a juvenile. Shoaf’s family issued a statement through Morgantown attorney David Straface, apolo- gizing to Neese’s family and saying they were shocked to learn of their daughter’s involvement. “There is no way to describe the pain that we, too, are feeling,” they said. “We are truly sorry for the pain that she has caused the Neese family, and we know her actions are unforgiveable and inexcusable. Our daughter has admitted her involvement and she has accepted responsibility for her actions. “Our hearts are broken for your loss, and we are still trying to come to terms with this event,” they said. “We pray that we all will find peace in our hearts and the strength to move forward.” Shoaf’s attorney declined further comment. U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld said a second teenager was in custody, but authorities haven’t named her or said what she’s being charged with. Straface said he is not representing that suspect, and the Monongalia County prosecutor’s office didn’t immediately return messages. Neese was last seen on surveillance video leaving her family’s apartment voluntarily and getting into a car on July 6, 2012. She was initially considered a runaway, but her parents soon suspected she was abducted. The recovery of her body led to changes in West Virginia’s Amber Alert process. Legislators recently passed “Skylar’s Law” so Amber Alerts are not limited to kidnappings. It now requires law enforcement officials to relay initial reports of any missing child to State Police, who then contact the Amber Alert system. Amber Alert personnel would then decide whether to issue an alert. University High School, Principal Shari Burgess would not confirm that Shoaf was a student there but said that anytime a tragedy occurs, counselors are on hand to help students. Though classes went on uninterrupted Wednesday, Burgess said there would be an announcement advising students that help was available for those who need it. 5-year-old boy shoots 2-year-old sister BURKESVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A 5-yearold boy accidentally shot his 2-year-old sister to death in rural southern Kentucky with a rifle he had received as a gift last year, authorities said. The children’s mother was home at the time of the shooting Tuesday afternoon but had stepped out to the front porch for a few minutes and “she heard the gun go off,” Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said. He said the rifle was kept in a corner and the family didn’t realize a bullet was left inside it. White told the Lexington Herald-Leader the boy received the .22-caliber rifle as a gift. “It’s a Crickett,” White said, referring to a company that specifically makes guns, clothes and books for children. “It’s a little rifle for a kid. … The little boy’s used to shooting the little gun.” The shooting, while accidental, highlights a cultural divide in the gun debate. While many suburban and urban areas work to keep guns out of the hands of children, it’s not uncommon for youths in rural areas to own guns for target practice and hunting. “Down in Kentucky where we’re from, you know, guns are passed down from gen- eration to generation. You start at a young age with guns for hunting and everything,” White said Wednesday. What is more unusual than a child having a gun, he said, is “that a kid would get shot with it.” “Accidents happen with guns. They thought the gun was actually unloaded, and it wasn’t,” the coroner said. White said the girl died of a single gunshot wound to the chest area. In a brief news release, state police said the shooting occurred when the boy was “playing” with the rifle, but did not elaborate. It is not clear whether any charges will be filed, said Kentucky State Police spokesman Trooper Billy Gregory. “I think it’s too early to say whether there will or won’t be,” Gregory said. The AP is not identifying the children because of their ages. The company that made the gun, Milton, Pa.-based Keystone Sporting Arms, produced 60,000 Crickett and Chipmunk rifles in 2008, according to its website. It also makes guns for adults, but most of its products are geared toward children. The smaller guns come in all sorts of colors, including blue and pink. �The Daily Sentinel THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2013 Sports mdssports@civitasmedia.com Lady Knights take two from Winfield, win title Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The third time was nice, but the fourth time was the charm. The Point Pleasant softball team claimed the Region 4, Section 1 championship Tuesday night following a pair of wins over visiting Winfield in a Class AAA postseason matchup in Mason County. The Lady Knights (17-7) improved to 4-0 overall this season against the Lady Generals after posting wins of 5-1 and 10-8 in the best of three series, which allowed the hosts to secure a home contest in the regional semifinals on Thurs- day, May 9. PPHS defeated Winfield by counts of 6-4 and 8-0 during the regular season as well. Point Pleasant captured the program’s eighth consecutive sectional crown, with the previous seven coming at the Class AA level. The Lady Knights, with the twin bill triumphs, also extended their current winning streak to six games. PPHS never trailed in the opener and also outhit Winfield by a sizable 12-3 overall margin, as Point jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage through three full frames. The Lady Generals cut their deficit down to a run after scoring once in the top of the fourth, but the Lady Knights coun- tered with a run in the fifth and two more in the sixth to secure the four-run decision and a 1-0 advantage. Madison Barker was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one unearned run, three hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out 10. Abbie Short suffered the loss for the Lady Generals. Megan Davis led the hosts with three hits and two RBIs, followed by Makinley Higginbotham and Kaitlin Liptrap with two safeties apiece.

Bryan Walters | Daily Sentinel Meigs sophomore Ty Phelps delivers a pitch during the seventh inning of Tuesday night’s non-conference baseball game against River Valley in Rocksprings, Ohio. Marauders sweep River Valley, 5-0 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The theme for the Meigs baseball team this week apparently centers around solid pitching. The Marauders allowed just one hit for the second consecutive day, this time against visiting River Valley on Tuesday night during a 5-0 non-conference victory in Meigs County. Meigs — which received a one-hit effort from starter Treay McKinney on Monday during a 10-0 win over Wellston — got another gem from starter Ty Phelps on Tuesday, as the sophomore southpaw allowed just one hit and six walks over seven innings while striking out 13 for the winning decision. The Marauders, however, struggled to produce some run support for Phelps early on — as both the hosts and the Raiders (4-14) were locked up in a scoreless tie through four full frames. Then in the bottom of the fifth, McKinney led off the inning by reaching on an error and later scored on a two-out single by Matt Casci — giving Meigs a 1-0 advantage through five complete. The Marauders followed with four runs in the sixth, which all but sealed the deal on the final outcome. Cameron Mattox received a one-out walk, then Ray Johnson singled and Michael Davis walked to load the bases. McKinney singled home Mattox for a 2-0 edge, then Johnson came homeward after Taylor Rowe walked to make it a 3-0 contest. Casci completed the rally with a two-out single that plated both Davis and McKinney, wrapping up the 5-0 decision. The Marauders — winners of three straight — claimed a season sweep over RVHS after posting a 6-1 victory in See SWEEP |‌ 8 OVP Sports Schedule Thursday, May 2 Baseball Southern at River Valley, 5 p.m. Wahama at Eastern, 5 p.m. Meigs at Alexander, 5 p.m. Chapmanville at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. South Point at Hannan, 5 p.m. Softball Southern at River Valley, 5 p.m. Eastern at Trimble, 5 p.m. Meigs at Alexander, 5 p.m. Coal Grove at South Gallia, 5 p.m. Track and Field Meigs at Vinton County, TBA South Gallia, Hannan at Buffalo, 4 p.m. Southern at Waterford, 4 p.m. Friday, May 3 Baseball Point Pleasant at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. Trimble at Southern, 5 p.m. Miller at Eastern, 5 p.m. Hannan at South Gallia, 5 p.m. Wahama at Belpre, 5 p.m. Softball Miller at Eastern, 5 p.m. Track and Field River Valley at South Point, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant home meet, 4 p.m. Tennis Gallia Academy at Wheelersburg, 4:30 Saturday, May 4 Baseball Alexander at Southern (DH) 11 a.m. Point Pleasant at Hurricane, 1:30 Federal Hocking at Eastern noon Softball Alexander at Southern (DH) 11 a.m. Waterford at Eastern 11 a.m. Track and Field Marietta at Eastern, 10 a.m. Alex Hawley | Daily Sentinel Wahama freshman Morgan Harrison slides into homeplate on a passed ball, while Eastern catcher Amber Moodispaugh (left) tosses to pitcher Grace Edwards (25).

Blue Devils fall at Warren, clinch share of SEOAL title Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com VINCENT, Ohio — Every dark cloud has a silver lining. The Gallia Academy baseball team suffered its first Southeastern Ohio Athletic League setback Tuesday night, but the Blue Devils still clinched a share of their third straight league title following a 5-4 setback to host Warren in Washington County. The visiting Blue Devils (18-3, 7-1 SEOAL) never led in the contest, as the Warriors (8-8, 4-3) stormed out to early leads of 1-0 after one inning of play and 2-0 through three complete. GAHS rallied with a run in the fourth to cut its deficit in half, but Warren countered with two runs in its half of the fourth for a 4-1 advantage through four full frames. Gallia Academy, however, responded with a run in the fifth and two more in the sixth to knot things up at four, but Lance Shaffer led off the home half of the sixth with a home run to left field, allow- ing WHS to secure a 5-4 edge. The Blue Devils managed to get the tying run on base in the seventh after Jimmy Clagg led off the inning with a single, but the guests went down in order after that — allowing Warren to claim the 5-4 decision. WHS also salvaged a season split with Gallia Academy after dropping an 8-5 decision at Bob Eastman Field back on April 3. The Blue Devils owned a twogame lead over Jackson in the league standings headed into Tuesday night’s contest, but the Ironmen lost a 6-2 decision at Chillicothe — dropping them to 5-3 overall in the SEOAL. Jackson’s misfortunes ultimately allowed GAHS to secure a share of its third straight SEOAL crown — its 13th overall in program history. The Blue Devils outhit Warren by a 10-5 overall margin, but the guests committed three of the four errors in the contest. Gallia Academy stranded 10 runners on base, while the Warriors left eight on the bags. Danny Pannell was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four earned runs, 10 hits and three walks over seven innings while striking out two. Justin Bailey took the tough-luck loss after surrendering five runs (three earned), five hits and five walks over six frames while fanning eight. Clagg, Bailey and Ty Warnimont led the Blue Devils with two hits apiece, followed by Gage Childers, John Faro, Cody Russell and Bobby Dunlap with a safety each. Childers, Clagg and Bailey each drove in an RBI, while Childers, Faro, Russell and Dunlap each scored once in the setback. Ethan Estes paced Warren with two hits, followed by Shaffer, Kennedy and David Ryan with a safety apiece. Ryan drove in three RBIs, while both Shaffer and Estes scored twice in the triumph. GAHS — which had a sevengame win streak snapped in SEOAL play — is now 27-3 overall in league play since the start of the 2011 campaign. The Blue Devils still have SEOAL games remaining with Portsmouth and Jackson. �Thursday, May 2, 2013 Yard Sale AUCTION / ESTATE / YARD SALE SERVICES Estate/YS May 3rd 9-4:30, May 4th 9-1.

The Lady Marauders (10-7) snapped a two-game losing skid in style, as the hosts outhit the Lady Raiders (11-8) by a 10-4 overall margin — with half of those safeties coming in the bottom of the sixth. The triumph also allowed MHS to claim a season sweep of River Valley after posting a 5-0 win in Cheshire back on April 2. The Lady Raiders — who had a twogame winning streak come to an end — led 1-0 after an inning of play, as Chelsea Copley led the game off with her fifth home run of the season.

Many people find this energy to be magnetic. Your career and commitments take top priority, so start working on your wish list. If you are single, you meet people easily. Someone could emerge who might become very special to you. If you are attached, make sure that your close bond remains a high priority in your life. Go out on an old-fashioned date once in a while. AQUARIUS is as stubborn as you are, but he or she is more experimental. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Bypass a power play, and you will have a close-to-perfect day. Others seem to want your attention, and they might resort to some odd behavior. You have a way of communicating that allows you to get past an issue with ease. Reduce your stress through a proven method or hobby. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH If you think that others demand a lot, you are 100 percent correct. If you would like to go in a different direction, do. Note the areas in which you impose restrictions. Be aware of what is going on with a child or loved one. Tonight: Be ready to go till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You understand much more about a situation than you realize. Have a conversation about this, and you’ll see that others share your beliefs. You will find common ground. Tonight: Consider a weekend escape in the near future. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH A partner makes the first move. Respond accordingly, if possible. Recognize that you might be oversensitive, and understand that this person might have strong feelings, too. Listen, but do not take every comment personally. Tonight: Meet up with a friend for dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be irritated by an older relative or a friend. A boss might be out of sorts as well. Be willing to change plans and free yourself up. Others will find you to be unpredictable, as you’ll decide that a new set of plans feels more appropriate. Tonight: Defer to someone else. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could feel a bit out of sorts, as your mind repeats a situation over and over again. A partner might act up or do the unexpected. Stay focused on what is important to you. Answer questions with a newfound openness. Others will come to respect that. Tonight: Keep smiling. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might be a lot more involved in a creative endeavor than you thought possible. Look at the big picture in order to grasp the details. You could be overwhelmed by someone’s demands. Take a step back if that’s the case. Tonight: Add more fun into your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Check out a new possibility with care, especially if it involves a real-estate matter or an investment. Do not hesitate to get others’ different perspectives. You’ll want to make a solid decision if possible, so be completely aware of the risks involved. Tonight: Order in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by a certain situation. As a result, you might insist that the matter be handled as you’d like. The responses you get will surprise you. Use your instincts, and think twice before you decide on a big purchase. Tonight: At your favorite haunt. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal with your finances and investments, as they are your strong suit. You also might want to revise your stance on a serious matter. Your creativity will soar, no matter how you approach the situation. Follow through with your ideas, and brainstorm more. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could lose your temper with a family member, or vice versa. Take your time when making a decision. You might reverse direction several times — at least mentally. Brainstorm with others. You eventually will make up your mind. Tonight: Go with the flow. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to evaluate a decision involving a personal matter. Be skeptical of someone new you meet, especially if you decide to get to know this person. You could be subject to an unexpected financial development, which could be positive. Tonight: Don’t push.
