Danny Morgan Sr., 53, was found guilty of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault by a jury of six men and six women. As each charge stemmed from the same act, the two felonious assault charges merged with the attempted murder charge for purposes of sentencing, with an 11 year maximum sentence possible. The charges against Morgan were the result of a March 19, 2016, incident at a residence on Lasher Road in which he reportedly stabbed another man three times in the neck. During testimony on Thursday, Friday and Monday, the prosecution and defense presented witnesses regarding varying versions of events from the early morning hours of See MURDER | 5 Courtesy photo The Meigs County Commissioners issued a proclamation recognizing Social Work Month.

FOR THE RECORD Meigs County Sheriff’s Office Midnight shift March 10-14 Deputies were dispatched to only two calls on midnight shift this week. Both were on Wednesday morning. One was a civil matter on Vine Street, where the male agreed to leave the home for the night once the deputy arrived. The other was a medic assist on Cone Road for an unknown emergency. The caller called in and canceled the response before anyone arrived on the scene. Sgt. Mohler continued in to the scene to ensure everything was okay. The caller ended up being reportedly intoxicated and overreacted to seeing her husband laying in the yard where he had fallen. No police action was taken on either call. Deputies took advantage of the low call volume this week and conducted approximately 30 security checks of homes and businesses listed in the house watch program. The house watch program is a service provided by the Sheriff’s Office for home and businesses owners for up to 30 days. If you are going to be away from home for any reason or experiencing some sort of possible criminal problem, you can call the office at 740-9923371 or go online to the Sheriff’s Office web site at www.meigssheriff.org and place your property on the list. Deputies will pick up patrols in the area and check your property, as time allows, for up to 30 days.

Russian officials say fire escapes were blocked and a public address system was turned off at the shopping mall, that killed 64 people. Witnesses reported no alarms and no staff to help them leave the Winter Cherry mall. Russian shopping mall fire kills 64; no alarms reported By Nataliya Vasilyeva Associated Press MOSCOW — Witnesses say fire alarms were silent and many doors were locked when a blaze at a Russian shopping mall packed with children and their parents on the first weekend of the school recess killed 64 people in Siberia. The fire at the Winter Cherry mall in Kemerovo, a city about 3,000 kilometers (1,900 miles) east of Moscow, was extinguished by Monday morning after burning through the night. Sixty-four deaths were confirmed after firefighters finished combing through the four floors of the mall, Emergency Situations Minister Vladimir Puchkov told a televised briefing. Six of the bodies have not yet been recovered. Some of the dead were found inside a cinema, which one witness said had been locked shut. Investigators said Monday that emergency exits were blocked and a security guard turned off the public announcement system when he received a call about the blaze, but they provided no information why that happened. On Monday morning, Kemerovo residents were bringing flowers, candles and stuffed animals to a plaza outside the mall, and local hospitals reported an influx of people wanting to donate blood for the victims. Out of 23 victims whose bodies have been identified, eight are children, the emergency officials said. Thirteen people have been hospitalized. Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova, who visited the Keremovo hospital where the victims were receiving treatment, said on Russian state television that the patient in the gravest condition is an 11-year-old boy who jumped out of a window from the fourth floor. The boy’s parents and younger sister died in the fire, Skvortsova said. Some 200 animals are also believed to have died in the mall’s petting zoo. The zoo’s manager told the Tass news agency that the animals included rabbits, turtles, pigs, goats and rodents. Russia’s top investigative body said Monday afternoon that they are searching for a security officer who appears to have turned off the PA system when he received a call about the blaze. Four people have been detained in connection with the deadly fire, including one of the mall’s tenants. The investigators did not give the cause of the fire but said they have obtained evidence proving “flagrant violations” that could have contributed to the heavy loss of life, including the fact that the fire escapes were blocked. Some accounts indicated that the blaze first erupted in a children’s game room and spread quickly, filling the huge building with toxic fumes. Witness testimony indicated that the fire alarms were not working, but it was not clear why. Eyewitnesses also said that staff did not arrange for the evacuation at the shopping mall, which was converted from a former confectionery factory in 2013. Some guards and other staff helped people to get out, but there was no organized rescue effort. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday it was too early to draw conclusions about whether local officials failed in Kemerovo. Winter Cherry was one of Kemerovo’s most popular entertainment centers for families with children, with its own indoor skating rink, petting zoo and trampolines and a movie theater with several screens. Kemerovo residents said the mall was packed with children and their parents. Anna Zarechneva, who was on the top floor where the fire started, watching a movie with her husband and son, said they only found out about the fire when a man ran into the theater shouting. “We didn’t hear the fire alarm, they even didn’t turn on the light during the show,” she said. “That movie could have been the last for us, I’ve only just realized that.” The doors at another movie hall that was showing a cartoon were locked, according to some accounts from the scene, trapping children inside. Some theaters in Russia reportedly lock doors after the movie starts screening to avoid ticketless viewers. Alexander Lillevyali lost three daughters — 11-year-old twins and a 5-year-old — who were in a cinema hall on the top floor watching a cartoon. Lillevyali told the Meduza news website that one of his daughters called him, saying that they could smell the smoke but could not get out because the door was locked. “I was shouting into the phone, telling her to get out but there was nothing I could do — the fire was in front of me,” he said. The Prosecutor General’s Office on Monday ordered all shopping malls in Russia to be checked for fire safety features. Russian companies routinely complain about excessive checks from various government agencies, which often abuse elaborate rules and regulations to pressure businesses. As a result, many companies prefer to pay bribes instead of complying with outdated and excessive regulations, including fire safety rules. On April 4, the Point Pleasant Writers Guild looks forward to having as their special speaker, Ruby Taylor, retired educator who lives in Gallipolis, Ohio. Taylor was born in Lundale, West Virginia. In addition to being a wife and mother, she has filled her life with teaching, nursing, painting, and writing. She has written and given many speeches concerning the history and story of freedom in the USA. Her paintings and poetry are on display throughout the world. She has been the recipient of several Awards of Excellence in the fields of education, speaking, storytelling, and the humanities. Taylor’s achievements also include inventing the Hopter-Copter and producing, directing, and hosting television programs. The public is invited to join the Guild in meeting Taylor on April 4. Attending the Guild’s meeting on March 7: Sue Underwood read her poem, “Just call me Max“ and a true short story, “A Day in Chicago.” Sue suggested that a true test of creative writing would be to take the dullest word or sentence and make it more interesting to the reader. Max Price read his poem, “Garden Spirit.” Joe Ingerick recited a poem he had written. April Pyles read a true account of a homeless person, “Her Name was Jill.” Patrecia Grey amused everyone with her 18-stanza-poem, which reads in part: “Father Time has three sons/ Now/Yesterday/and Tomorrow…Yesterday is a bit aloof/Now is skeptical/ and Tomorrow is light and airy…” Other stanzas, as paraphrased, include: Yesterday tries to warn Tomorrow about the lessons he’s learned. With Today you never know what you’re going to get, and Tomorrow holds out promises of good things to come but doesn’t always keep them. The meeting ended after discussing plans to attend the “Spring into Writing” workshop at the library in Ripley on March 10. More about the workshop, sponsored by WV Writers, Inc. and hosted by the Appalachian Wordsmiths, will be covered in the Guild’s next article. The Point Pleasant Writers Guild meets every first and third Wednesday of the month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Mason County Library on Viand Street. All writers, accomplished or thinking about it or somewhere in between, are welcome to attend. The next meeting will be held March 21. Submitted by April Pyles. IN BRIEF Dispatcher said ‘bullets’ DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Court filings about the fatal police shooting of a black shopper in an Ohio Walmart indicate a dispatcher told officers the man was loading a weapon with “bullets,” even though a 911 caller hadn’t specified ammunition. The man actually was carrying an air rifle he picked up from a shelf. Record CCW permits and issued 16 CCW permits. The Dayton Daily News reports the dispatcher’s deposition offers the first public record of her perspective on the August 2014 shooting of 22-year-old John Crawford III at the Beavercreek Walmart. When questioned nearly two years later, the dispatcher said a 911 caller indicated a man was loading a weapon, and she assumed that meant bullets. She said she realized her assumption but didn’t immediately clarify that to police. Sheriff Wood observed the driver who appeared to be under the influence From page 1 of alcohol. Sgt.

It affects about one in 5,000 births and leaves children with profound mental and physical disabilities. Life expectancy is harrowingly Daniel T. Willingham brief; some 90 percent of affected infants don’t see their first birthday. Contributing There are many reasons why it’s columnist important for people to know about this syndrome — to encourage more research, advance better policies for families coping with it, to “raise awareness.” But when I consider my daughter Esprit, I’m interested in a specific kind of awareness, the kind that helps people feel comfortable interacting with her. Medical details and statistics don’t put anyone at ease around a severely disabled child. But a parent’s perspective might. Chances are, you and your children will encounter Esprit or a child who is similarly disabled at a store, or in a park. Your child will be struck by Esprit’s appearance. Typical for trisomy-18 kids, her head is small, her eyelids droop and her ears are low-set. Add the wheelchair and the braces on her feet and midsection, and you’ve got quite a sight. Older children pointedly refrain from staring (usually with a furtive peek or two), but younger children gape uninhibitedly. Embarrassed parents will try to distract their child, or drag him away, probably delivering a “don’t stare” lecture once out of sight. But you can’t blame a 4-year-old for staring at a child who looks different. His curiosity is natural. Staring at people feels wrong because it’s how we respond to an object — a skyscraper, or a waterfall. When we look at people, we usually send a social signal — a smile, for example — that acknowledges their humanity. Staring isn’t staring if you’re smiling. Or waving. Or if you say hi. That turns staring into a bid for interaction. So don’t try to stop your little one from looking at Esprit. It probably won’t work anyway, and it may be interpreted as indicating there’s something dreadful or forbidden about her. Just tell your child to wave. And don’t worry if he asks an awkward question, like, “Can’t she talk?” That’s a welcome chance for us to introduce Esprit. What if you’re planning a social event and it’s natural to invite a disabled child? Maybe your daughter wants to host a party for her swim team, which includes a child with autism. Or maybe you’ve asked new neighbors to come to a cookout, and then you learn they have a child like Esprit. I started to see the discomfort people feel in socializing with disabled kids when Esprit reached 6 months. Until then, my wife was invited to playdates, where she and another mom drank coffee while the babies gurgled on the floor. The invitations stopped when the other kids could sit up, something Esprit wouldn’t do for years. Kids with disabilities want to socialize; the need to affiliate is deeply human and present in all of us. Children like Esprit may not be able to participate exactly as typical kids do, but who cares? My wife would not have been indignant if a playdate had included more babies, so the typical kids could do typical kid stuff while Esprit watched. Just ask a disabled child’s parents whether the planned activity will work for their son or daughter. If an adjustment is needed we can figure it out together. In another common situation, you may witness a problem caused by a child’s disability. For example, my family might leave a picnic because of Esprit’s sunlight sensitivity. What, if anything, should you say? Sympathetic acknowledgment of a nuisance like leaving a picnic early is normal, as much when the reason is disability as when it’s a cloudburst. But don’t let simple sympathy edge toward the tragic. Our family routinely accommodates Esprit’s disability, and to us, it’s just the background noise of life. In the foreground, Esprit is happy, and we’re happy to have her around. So don’t make a big deal out of an annoyance with a portent-filled comment like, “I don’t know how you do it.” In fact, focusing on the commonplace is a good idea if you’re worried about saying the wrong thing. Remarking on the daily practicalities of Esprit’s life won’t make us blink, but we’d rather you didn’t bring up the long haul, even with compliments like, “God only chooses special parents to have someone like Esprit,” or commiserations like, “Sometimes, it all just seems so unfair.” I get it. Esprit can bring to mind big-picture questions about blind fortune or the mystery of God’s plan — something seemingly terrible has been visited upon an innocent child. But those are the thoughts you shouldn’t share with us. For parents of a severely disabled child, the big picture is dominated by a future cataclysm. For my wife and me, it’s that, although Esprit has lived nearly 15 years, we will likely survive her. For other parents, it’s that their child will likely survive them. We See DAUGHTER | 5 THEIR VIEW ‘Sorry for the Facebook gaffe. Well, kinda.’ Rejected first draft of Mark Zuckerberg’s belated apology for the mass data invasion Carl that affected Hiaasen Contributing at least 50 million columnist Facebook users: To all devoted members of the worldwide Facebook family, I want to say how sorry I am that some of your personal information got mined, tracked and re-deployed by Cambridge Analytica (and God knows who else) during the last U.S. election cycle. Most CEOs would immediately accept full blame for such a scandal, and promise it will never happen again. But I’m not like traditional CEOs. I’m way, way cooler. I don’t wear pinstriped suits and neckties, or carry a calfskin briefcase. I wear blue jeans and carry a cup of coffee in a flimsy biodegradable cup. Sometimes it burns the holy p—- out of my fingers, too, but you know what? I don’t mind, because my job is to be authentic. And my generation of aloof tech billionaires doesn’t believe in shoveling BS at our customers and shareholders. So here’s the hard truth about the Facebook data breach: We weren’t prepared for it, we really didn’t do much to try to stop it, we covered it up for a couple years and, yeah, something just like it is bound to happen again. But, folks, let’s be real. All that stolen information that went from Cambridge to the Trump campaign didn’t come from us. It came from you! And, yes, I’m including Johnny K., from youknow-where, Missouri. Forty-six years old. Fiveeleven, a buck eighty five, according to your last driver’s license. Clearly a hard-working, responsible guy. Solid eight-to-fiver at the local Amazon fulfillment center. Wife and two happy kids who, judging by those Halloween costumes, are seriously into the “Transformer” movies. Johnny, I know you just purchased an extended warranty to cover the power train on your F-150 — very smart move. Same goes for that new home alarm system with the camera in the doorbell. And, dude, that video where you dressed your cat up like a burglar and had him “tip-toeing” up to your front door — all of us here in Menlo Park laughed our a___ off. But, Johnny, here’s what happened that put you in the middle of this political data-mining mess. Remember that zinger you posted when your sister Mary Ellen signed up as a volunteer for Hillary Clinton’s campaign? How you said you were going to buy her an orange jumpsuit for when she went door-to-door? Just a joke, obviously. A harmless little dig. But it was enough for the sneaky braniacs who are good at this kind of stuff to identify you as a potential Trump voter and start swamping you with campaign messages. Now, I don’t know how you actually voted in the election, Johnny. Could I find out? Probably. OK, sure I could find out. But do I really care? Nope. On behalf of Facebook, and all social media companies, let me say that we and our advertisers welcome all your posts. The more detailed and personal, the better. We’re proud that customers like you feel comfortable enough on our poorly guarded platform to share basically every aspect of your lives — your dreams, desires, disappointments, and especially your strawberry cheesecake recipes. Because without this avalanche of mundane content, without this naive mass impulse to expose your inner selves online, my company would go broke. So keep the hits coming, everybody. We love it, your Facebook “friends” love it, even that guy you haven’t seen since 1992 who says you still owe him a hundred bucks for a lid of Jamaican weed — he’s glad you’re out there, too. How else could he track you down? But, people, don’t blame us when your personal information gets into the wrong hands. Did you seriously think this was a corporate priority? I do regret that so many millions of Facebook users were caught off-guard by the Russian trolls, fake news sites, political data thieves, blah, blah, blah. Lots of customers are mad, our stock price is diving, and apparently I might have to fly to Washington and testify. For that I’ll probably need to lose the jeans. Yet this crisis will pass. To all who are concerned, I authentically hear you. We want your trust back. So get on your Facebook page right now and check out our upgraded privacy settings, keeping in mind that no such thing as privacy exists anymore. But the settings, seriously, are way cooler than before. I mean, we totally outdid ourselves. Now, can somebody please get me another coffee? Carl Hiaasen is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Loyola-Chicago won 78-62. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Welcome to a Final Four filled with past national champions — just the way the NCAA selection committee drew it up, right? OK, maybe not. Sure, there’s plenty of the expected with 1-seed Villanova making it to San Antonio in pursuit of the program’s second title in three seasons. Kansas is the other 1-seed to navigate its way through a maze full of upsets as it pursues its first title since 2008. And plenty figured No. 3 seed Michigan had a good shot to get to the Final Four as the Wolverines chase their first title since the Glen Riceled group won the program’s first in 1989. But Loyola-Chicago? Consider the 11th-seeded Ramblers the representative for all the low seeds — UMBC, Marshall and Buffalo, to name a few — that pulled off the big stunners in an upset-filled and memorable March. And yes, the Ramblers do have a national championship, won way back in 1963 during the Kennedy administration. Now it’s time to prepare for next Saturday’s first national semifinal (Loyola vs. Michigan ) featuring the upstart against the surging power-conference team in an undercard to the heavyweight matchup of top seeds in the nightcap. It’s a particular relief for Kansas, which had a No. 1 seed for the third straight season and lost in the Elite Eight the past two seasons — including in 2016 to Villanova as the Wildcats marched to the national title. “You think about it, hey, in their careers all we’ve been is the No. 1 overall seed, the No. 2 overall seed and the No. 3 overall seed and haven’t gotten to a Final Four,” coach Bill Self said after Sunday’s overtime win against Duke in Omaha, Nebraska. “So that means that these guys have done so well to put us in a position but we hadn’t kicked the door in yet. “I’m happy for us, staff, school, everything, but I’m See MARCH | 9 Lady Marauders win opener, 6-3 over Southern By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A great start to the game and a great start to the season. The Meigs softball team jumped out to a 6-0 lead four innings into Saturday’s non-conference game against visiting Southern, and the Lady Marauders held on for a 6-3 victory in the season opener for both teams. The Lady Tornadoes (0-1) left two runners in scoring position in the top of the first, and Meigs (1-0) took the lead in the bottom of the inning, when Peyton Rowe drove in Taylor Swartz. The Lady Marauders added on to their lead in the bottom of the second, when Rachel Kesterson singled home Alyssa Smith. The MHS lead grew to 3-0 in the bottom of the third, with Bre Lilly scoring on a Chonslyn Spaun groundout. Southern left another runner in scoring position in the top of the fourth, and the Lady Marauders broke the game open with two outs in the bottom of the frame. First, Bre Zirkle singled home Shalynn Mitchell, and then Rowe singled in both Swartz and Hannah Tackett to make it a 6-0 game. The Purple and Gold broke through in the top of the sixth, when Paige VanMeter singled home Josie Cundiff. Later in the frame, VanMeter scored on a Kaitlyn DeLacruz sacrifice fly, and then Lauren Lavender stole home to make it a 6-3 game. The Lady Tornadoes were sent down in order in the top of the seventh, however, as Meigs sealed the 6-3 win. Zirkle was the winning pitcher of record for MHS, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks, while striking out seven batters in a complete game. Pitching a complete game for SHS, Sydney Cleland took the setback surrendering six runs on 15 hits and one walk, while striking out two batters. At the plate, Zirkle was 4-for-4 with a double and a run batted in to lead the lead the victors. Rowe was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and one double, Kesterson was 2-for-2 with one RBI, while Jerrica Smith went 2-for-3 in the win. Mitchell, Tackett and Alyssa Smith each singled once and scored once, while Spaun singled and had one RBI.

Following the game, Wahama head coach Billy Zuspan was pleased with his team’s effort — particularly with the effort by his pitching staff. “I was really happy with the way Antonio came out and pitched,” said Zuspan. “I thought he came out and gave us three solid innings, which was what I was hoping for. I feel like we have a really good pitching staff and we have several kids we are going to depend on to throw and give us good quality outings throughout the season. “Tanner came in to relief and pitched a good solid inning. Johnny came in to close the game out and while it did get a little shaky, he was able to keep his composure and finish the job.” Coach Zuspan also discussed his squads effort at the plate and ability to steal bases throughout the contest, but noted it there was also room for See FALCONS | 9 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Eastern track opens season NHL All Times EDT EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Division GP W L OT Pts GF GA Home Away Div x-Tampa Bay 75 51 20 4 106 272 213 27-8-2 24-12-2 16-7-2 x-Boston 74 47 17 10 104 245 189 25-7-5 22-10-5 15-5-2 Toronto 75 45 23 7 97 255 213 26-8-2 19-15-5 14-7-3 Florida 73 38 28 7 83 223 224 23-11-3 15-17-4 14-6-2 Montreal 76 27 37 12 66 192 243 17-13-8 10-24-4 11-9-5 Detroit 75 27 37 11 65 192 233 14-15-8 13-22-3 6-14-4 Ottawa 74 26 37 11 63 203 262 15-17-6 11-20-5 8-12-4 Buffalo 75 23 40 12 58 174 248 11-23-5 12-17-7 10-9-3 Metropolitan Division GP W L OT Pts GF GA Home Away Div Washington 75 44 24 7 95 236 221 26-9-2 18-15-5 13-7-3 Pittsburgh 76 43 27 6 92 251 233 28-8-2 15-19-4 16-7-2 Columbus 76 42 29 5 89 215 208 25-12-2 17-17-3 14-10-3 Philadelphia 76 38 25 13 89 230 228 19-13-6 19-12-7 12-7-6 New Jersey 75 39 28 8 86 225 225 19-14-3 20-14-5 13-9-1 Carolina 75 33 31 11 77 208 239 17-15-6 16-16-5 9-10-5 N.Y.

AP SPORTS BRIEFS Browns re-sign Tank Carder Carder in the fifth round of 2012 draft out of TCU. CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have re-signed free-agent linebacker Tank Carder, who missed last season with a knee injury. Carder has been a valuable contributor since the Browns claimed him off waivers from Buffalo in 2012. He has been on the Cleveland roster longer than any player, surviving coaching changes and upheaval. The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder was expected to start last season before he tore a knee ligament during a Aug. 21 exhibition against the New York Giants. He had surgery and was placed on injured reserve. Joe Schobert took Carder’s spot and made the Pro Bowl in his second season. Carder has appeared in 77 games with the Browns and was voted a captain in 2016. The Bills selected Browns agree to deal with Stanton CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have agreed to a twoyear contact with free agent quarterback Drew Stanton. The team announced the pact on Sunday night. The Browns met last week with Stanton while they were in California scouting UCLA’s Josh Rosen and USC’s Sam Darnold — two quarterbacks in the mix to be selected by Cleveland with the No. 1 overall draft pick next month. The 33-year-old Stanton will likely be a backup for Tyrod Taylor, recently acquired in a trade with Buffalo. Cleveland also currently has QBs Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan on its roster.

Cavs win 5th straight NEW YORK (AP) — LeBron James powered into the lane for his latest assault on the rim and a former teammate made an ultimately useless attempt to stop him. “I should have just gotten out of the way,” Joe Harris said. Might as well. There’s no way right now to defend James even by staying in front of him — or in Harris’ case, beneath him. James had 37 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-114 on Sunday for their fifth straight victory. James kept up his latest sensational stretch by going 14 for 19 from the floor, highlighted by the soaring slam over Harris. He reached 2,000 points in a season for the 10th time, joining Karl Malone and Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to do that. Associate head coach Larry Drew, running the team in Tyronn Lue’s place, was asked to make an MVP case for James. “You just look at the stat sheet,” Drew said, “and it’s just not about points, it’s what he’s doing on the boards, it’s what he’s doing from an assists standpoint. He’s just a force. He’s a force and I mean he has put up MVP numbers without a doubt.” Kevin Love added 20 points and 15 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who came in averaging 122.5 points during the streak and just about reached that even with a slow start. Jordan Clarkson had 18 points, George Hill scored 17 and Rodney Hood finished with 16.
