CHARLESTON — West Virginia would change how county
school districts hire teachers, free
up more days on their calendars
to bolster student instruction and
require full-week schooling for
4-year-olds statewide, under legislation sent to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin on Friday.
The House of Delegate passed
the bill, the centerpiece of the
Democratic governor’s agenda this
session, by a 95-2 vote. The measure offers to help teachers with
loans, covers the renewal fee for
those with national certification,
and revamps the way the state Department of Education accredits
schools and provides professional
development.
It also advances several key
goals in Tomblin’s drive to improve West Virginia’s low-ranking
student achievement scores. One
aims to ensure that high school
students finish their junior year
ready for college or career training, with remedial courses offered
for those who aren’t ready while
they are seniors. Tomblin also
wants all third-graders reading at
that level by the time they finish
that grade.
Lawmakers from both parties
joined Tomblin at the podium in
his Capitol reception room to herald the bill’s final passage.
“We’re all here today because
we believe our children deserve
the best education possible,” said
Tomblin. He added that when it
comes to student performance,
“We’ve been missing the mark.”
Groups representing teachers
and school workers were on hand
after successfully lobbying for several changes to the bill. So were
officials with the state Chamber of
Commerce, which led a large business-industry coalition that rallied
support for Tomblin’s proposal.
State Board of Education President Wade Linger and schools Superintendent James Phares joined
the governor as well.
The Senate unanimously passed
the bill Monday after adding the
changes sought by the education
groups. Those reserve some days
in the school calendar for teacher
activities, and expanded Tomblin’s
proposed criteria for teacher hiring. As amended, the bill also gives
principals and faculty senates a

Man honor student attends forum
Debbie Rolen
Staff Writer
MAN — Three months ago
an honor student at Man High
School was raising money to pay
expenses for a trip to Washington,
D.C.
Hunter Gage Montgomery
is the son of Rick and Donna
Montgomery of Man. The Man
High School sophomore had been
nominated to represent Man High
School and West Virginia by participating in the National Youth
Leadership Forum on National
Security: Exploring American Diplomacy, Intelligence and Defense
to be held in Washington, D.C.
Montgomery just returned
from attending the forum, along
with the other 300-400 students
who were chosen based on their
GPA and academic excellence.
The forum offered the high
school students an intensive
exploration in the field of government service. Students were
introduced to careers in defense
including intelligence, the diplomatic corps, national/homeland
security.
During the forum, the students
participated in question and answer sessions with internationally
recognized civilian policymakers
and senior military officers, who
provided insight into current issues and discussed the strategies
that helped them to succeed.
“I was honored to be invited to
such a prestigious event.” Montgomery said. “The forum was a
great hands-on experience for the
career field that I hope to pursue
after high school. I gained impor-
Four Logan County
Mines earn awards
CHARLESTON — Four
Logan County mining operations – Alex Energy,
Mingo-Logan Coal Company, Apogee Coal Company
and Eastern Arrow – were
honored recently for environmental stewardship
during the West Virginia
Coal Association’s 40th
Annual West Virginia Mining Symposium, held Mar.
6-8 in Charleston.
“We would like to congratulate Alex Energy,
Mingo-Logan Coal Company, Apogee Coal Company, Eastern Arrow and
the other companies who
were recognized for their
hard work and responsible reclamation,” said
Bill Raney, president of
the West Virginia Coal Association. “Each of these
companies goes far beyond
what is required to restore
former mine lands. We always say coal miners are
the real environmentalists.
They don’t just talk about
doing something…they go
out and do it. They do it
because this is their home.
We are proud to represent
these companies and the
63,000 coal mining families who live and work here
in West Virginia.”
Alex Energy, Inc.’s Whitman Surface Mine in Logan
County claimed the Surface
Mine Reclamation South
Award for environmental
stewardship. In making
the award, Jason Bostic,
vice president of the West
Virginia Coal Association,
said, “Alex Energy showed
exemplary performance in
reclamation on a surface
mine. From preparation of
the soils to the permanent
vegetative cover with an
extraordinary diversity in
tree species including 60
percent native hardwoods
and a two acre apple orchard on top of a valley fill.
The 22 different species of
trees have consistently had
significant growth and a
survival rate of 85-90 percent.”

Delegate fighting
to reinstate
death penalty
David Gutman
CHARLESTON — With neighboring Maryland about to become the sixth state in as many
years to abolish the death penalty, one West Virginia delegate is on a quixotic quest to resume
executions in his state for the first time in a halfcentury.
This year marks the 27th in a row that Republican Del. John Overington has introduced a bill
to reinstate capital punishment. It has rarely progressed far and is unlikely to pass this year, even
with the minority GOP steadily making gains in
the legislature. Still, Overington said he will continue pushing such bills because he thinks the
state would be better served if it could execute
convicted murderers.
“You want to live in a just society that is fair,
and capital punishment, if somebody is murdered,
I think there’s a perception that you have fairness
if that person is put to death,” Overington said.
“It sort of adds to the fairness of our society and
helps make it work. If you feel that our justice system is fair, it helps you believe in it.”
Since 2007, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Illinois and Connecticut have abolished the

Logan County deputies

Dempsey Branch Road that
ended with two arrests.
Deputies note in the
criminal complaints that
when they spoke with the
victim, her face was covered in blood and she appeared to have a bloody
nose and mouth. The victim was transported to
Logan Regional Medical
Center for treatment of her
injuries.
The victim told the deputies her cousin, Bennett
Hatfield, 43, of Mount Gay,
and his girlfriend, Amy
Carter, 42, of Holden, attacked her. The complaints
say the victim told officers
Hatfield had blocked her
vehicle in with his truck
and Carter was the first to
attack her, then Hatfield

Bill would give
amnesty for old
speeding tickets
CHARLESTON (AP) —
The West Virginia Senate
Transportation Committee
advanced a bill that would
give amnesty to drivers
who have had their licenses
suspended or revoked because of unpaid tickets that
are more than 10-years old.
The bill advanced Friday
would let those drivers get
their licenses back without
paying the fines, although
the fines would still remain
on the books.
Commercial drivers’ licenses or any citation having to do with a commercial
vehicle are excluded from
amnesty.
The amnesty period
would last for one year.
The bill’s lead sponsor
Sen. William Laird said that
West Virginia suspends or
revokes 90,000 licenses per
year, and 54,000 of those are
for non-payment of fines.
Laird said that in rural
counties with little public
transportation revoking a
license is akin to sentencing someone to unemployment.

Judge rules vs. state on military pension credits
Lawrence Messina
CHARLESTON — West Virginia’s retirement agency must
stop withholding pension credits
from some state employees with
military service while awarding
them to others, a Kanawha Circuit judge has ruled.
Judge Paul Zakaib found in favor of five employees after combining their lawsuits. He ordered
the state’s Consolidated Public
Retirement Board to award them
the credits they’ve earned. But
the judge stopped short of allow-
ing the case to become a class
action for all such individuals, as
the employees had sought.
The board is still reviewing the
order, issued Wednesday, spokeswoman Diane Holley-Brown said
Friday.
“I’m hopeful that the retirement board will now apply this
order to all state employees,”
said Lonnie Simmons, a Charleston lawyer representing the employees.
State employees earn pensions
based on years of service and
final salary amounts. Depend-
ing on which retirement plan
covers them, employees can add
military service to that calculation. Zakaib’s ruling addresses
the Public Employees Retirement System, the state’s main
program, which offers veterans
up to five years’ credit for activeduty service during a draft or “a
period of armed conflict.”
The petitioners served in the
Army, Navy and Marines. They
include Ted Cheatham, director
of the Public Employees Insurance Agency. Cheatham, for instance, was an Army pilot and
held posts including combat
aviation brigade commander between 1977 and 1988.
“They’re the kind of people that
the state ought to be happy that
they’re hiring,” Simmons said
Friday. “It’s a great incentive for
military veterans to be employed
by the state. For the board to then
not given them the credit that
they were required to receive just
never made any sense.”
These and other employeeveterans have sparred with
the board over what counts
as a period of armed conflict.
The board has relied on a list
of conflicts going back to the
Spanish-American War. But Zakaib agreed with Simmons, who
noted that the law also provides
credits for “any other period of
armed conflict” as well. Cheatham, for example, served during
military operations in Nicaragua, Somalia, Lebanon, Grenada and Panama, the order said.
“The Legislature never explicitly intended the military service
credit awarded under this statute
to be limited to the specific armed
conflicts listed,” Zakaib wrote.

offered, “Mingo Logan
showed exemplary techniques and innovative
design of a specific treatment system in order to
eliminate total suspended
solids in the impoundment. Water from the
impoundment is pumped
into two large holding
ponds where an automated treatment process
utilizes turbidity probes
and pumps to control the
amount of chemical necessary to provide environmental compliance.”
Eastern Arrow’s Sugar
Branch Burning Refuse
project in Logan County
claimed the Abandoned
Mine Lands South Award
for environmental stewardship. In making the
award, Bostic, said, “The
company showed exemplary performance in reclaiming a burning coal
refuse facility in Logan
County by excavating,
blending and capping the
refuse while combating
extreme ambient temperatures, humidity and burning materials”.
Also announced at the
WV Mining Symposium,
Consol’s Turkey Gap Refuse Impoundment in
Mercer County claimed
the state’s top award for
environmental stewardship, the Greenlands
Award, while Coal-Mac’s
New Ridge East Surface
Mine in Mingo County
took home the Turkey
Habitat Award for its
work in restoring former
surface mine land for wildlife habitat. Several other
companies were also recognized for their commit-
ment to the environment
at the Symposium, one of
the nation’s top coal industry events.
“These winners and
the other companies and
projects that are being recognized show the importance our industry places
on being environmentally
responsible,” Bostic said.
“Our companies are at the
cutting edge of the science
of environmental reclamation, recognized the world
over for their work.”

death penalty. In Maryland, the
legislature has passed a bill repealing the death penalty, and
the governor has promised to
sign it. There are official moratoriums on the death penalty in
California and Oregon, and there
are legislative efforts to repeal
the death penalty in at least 14
other states.
West Virginia abolished the
death penalty in 1965 and has
not executed a prisoner since
1959.
Overington isn’t worried about
bucking that trend because he
says the public supports capital
punishment. He proudly points
to faded newspaper clippings in
his office with poll results showing majorities of West Virginians
favoring capital punishment.
And every year, Overington
sends everyone in his district a
“citizens’ poll” soliciting their
opinions on current issues — he
said capital punishment always
gets overwhelming support.
He said his interest in bringing
back the death penalty goes back
to the case of Ron Williams, who
killed a police officer in Beckley
in 1975. Four years later, he orchestrated a mass escape from
the prison in Moundsville and
killed an off-duty police officer.
He killed another person in Arizona in 1981 before being caught
in a gunfight with federal agents
in 1984.
“So if we had had capital punishment for that first killing in
cold blood in Beckley, we’d have
another policeman that would be
alive today,” Overington said.
Other than Maryland, all of
West Virginia’s neighbors still
have the death penalty — and
Overington said he fears that
West Virginia invites killers by
not having capital punishment as
a deterrent. However, West Virginia’s homicide rate for the past
10 years is lower than that of all
neighboring states, according to
FBI data.
There have been many studies both touting and discounting
the death penalty’s role as a deterrent. In 2012, a National Research Council report concluded
that none of those studies — either for or against capital punishment — was statistically sound
enough to be useful.
“That was a pretty definitive
review of these studies,” said
Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, an anti-death penalty advocacy group. “Ultimately it
may be impossible to know if deterrence occurs, but we haven’t
proven it.”
Overington, with 29 years in
the House, is the longest-serving
member of the chamber. And
Republicans have made steady
gains in the House, now just five
seats shy of a majority. Nonetheless, his measure stands little
chance of passing.
Republican Del. Ron Walters
said his party would be misguided to risk their electoral gains by
pushing controversial social issues like the death penalty. And
the bill has been assigned to the
Senate Judiciary Committee,
where Chairman Tim Miley said
it is unlikely to proceed.
The bill has one Democratic
co-sponsor, Del. Rupert Philips,
who said that people he’s talked
to while campaigning seem to
support it.
“When’s enough enough?
We’re wasting tax dollars trying
to prosecute them,” Philips said.
“An eye for an eye.”
However, most studies show
that death penalty prosecutions
are far more expensive than sentencing someone to life in prison. That’s because states often
spend years fighting inmates’ appeals, sometimes all the way to
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Miley also said many people
are hesitant to reinstate the
death penalty to avoid executing someone who was falsely
convicted, citing the example
of a West Virginia state police
crime lab technician who was
found to have falsified evidence
in at least 134 cases that led to
convictions.
Since 2009, 14 prisoners
nationally who spent time on
death row have been exonerated, many of them as a result
of DNA testing. The first man
ever exonerated from death row
by DNA evidence, Kirk Bloodsworth, has become both a rallying call and a key lobbyist in
the effort to repeal Maryland’s
death penalty.
Still, Overington said he’s determined to make attempt No. 28
next year if his bill fails yet again.
“Some bills I’ve pushed I get
passed the first year and some
the second or third year and
some take a little longer,” Overington said. “But it is my intention to try again next year.”

History
Hiding public records
is never a good idea
When West Virginia House Minority Leader
Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, spoke at the West
Virginia Press Association’s annual legislative
breakfast last week he said West Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act law needed to be more
open to allow citizens and journalists even more
access to documents from public bodies.
Being true to his word, Armstead introduced
a bill meant to make internal letters and memos
from government bodies available to members
of the public, unless the documents fall under
another exemption of the state’s Freedom of Information Act law.
Great news, right? More transparency with
public records is always a good idea.
Then, on Tuesday, House Bill 2911 was introduced. It’s sponsored by 11 House Delegates
(Folk, Householder, Frich, Kump, Faircloth,
Lynch, Williams, Butler, Cooper, Cadle and
Shott) and has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
Here is a link to the bill: http://

htm&yr=2013&sesstype=RS&i=2911
It seeks an exemption to the Freedom of Information Act for all records pertaining to the issuance, renewal, expiration, suspension or revocation of a license to carry a concealed weapon. It
carries the following note: “The purpose of this
bill is to exempt records of concealed weapon license applications and issuance from disclosure
under the West Virginia Freedom of Information
Act.”
Civitas Media and the West Virginia Press
Association oppose such exemptions and have
informed our state Legislators of our position.
Hiding public records is never a good idea.
Hiding any public information of this nature
goes against the very reason the Freedom of Information Act law was enacted in the first place.
We are urging members of the public contact
your local House of Delegates members and let
them know you oppose hiding more public records of any kind.
We believe the effective functioning of our
constitutional democracy depends upon the
participation in public life of a citizenry that is
well informed. For nearly four decades, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has provided an
important means through which the public can
obtain information regarding the activities of
public agencies.

Information Act or to find out how to make a
FOIA request, visit www.foia.gov online.

“The Bible” mini-series
has come alive in the
hearts and minds of millions of people before Easter Sunday, the day that
gives validation to all the
Bible teaches. These exciting Biblical stories are
seen on Sunday evening on
the History Channel. It has
become the most talked
about film series on television.
Millions who have not
previously read them in
the Bible are watching
these stories. Churches,
businesses,
individually
concerned people, clubs,
organizations, television
and radio programs may be
looking for a good source
from which to purchase
quantities of Bibles for distribution. I pass along to
you the best source I have
ever known about for securing Bibles. Check it out
at www.BibleSurplus.com.
They also pay the shipping. The pastor of a large
church said, “I checked
many sources and this is
the best of them all.”
Most churches have an
increased number of programs and events during
the week before Easter.
The big feature this week
is celebrating Palm Sunday
commemorating the triumphal entry of Jesus into the
city of Jerusalem marking
the beginning of the Holy
Week.
After the crucifixion of
Jesus on Good Friday, He
was placed in a borrowed
tomb for three days, but as
He promised, He did rise
from the tomb on the first
Easter morning. Easter on
the Christian calendar is
the greatest day of the year.
March 2013, has been an

Federal Budget
Editor,
The U.S. Senate wants an income tax
increase, in order for the Senate to do
their constitutional duty by passing and
implementing a Federal budget. President
Obama was elected in 2010 and enjoyed
a Democrat controlled Senate and House
of Representatives from 2010 to 2012. In
those two years the United States did not
have a budget, but in 2010 the Democrat
controlled Senate and House passed an income tax increase.
I call attention to “Pub 15 (circular E),
Employers tax guide, (2011),” that my
$417 a week, small pension check, my
Federal income taxes were raised from
$15 to $26 a week, an $11 or 58 percent
tax increase. With this 58 percent federal
income tax increase, my West Virginia
state income tax increased an additional
five percent. In 2011, the people of West
Virginia, had a Federal income tax and a
West Virginia state income tax increase
and still did not receive a Federal budget from the Democrat controlled White
House, Senate or House of Representatives. Last year, Congress increased income taxes on the rich.
Of course, West Virginia added an additional five percent of this increase to its
state income tax. We now have had two
more tax increases for a total of four income tax increases and still no budget out
of the Senate. Now, in 2012, Congress added a fifth income tax increase by increasing
our Social Security and Medicare taxes.
We now have had five income tax increases and still no budget out of the Senate.
2013 brings the call from the Senate for a
sixth Federal income tax increase, with a
seventh income tax increase by the state

“We have complied with all of the
projects guidelines and strictly followed
both federal and state directives,” Waldo
said.
But Lee Fisher, a member of the state’s
Broadband Deployment Council, called
the ICF findings “very serious.”
“There are statements in the report
made about the misuse of public monies,” he said. “The state paid money to
Frontier, but they apparently have no
substantiation of what they did with
it.”
The state also paid ICF $118,000 for
the report, which the administration received last year but chose not to make
public.
Chief of Staff Rob Alsop said he met
with Frontier and questioned officials
about the memo, which the company
refuted.
The Gazette says that when it requested the report under the state Freedom of
Information Act, Commerce Secretary
Keith Burdette withheld it. He cited a
legal exemption for the “internal memorandum” that he noted would be “embarrassing to some people.”
Burdette also said he disagreed with
ICF’s conclusions.
The state auditor has also criticized
the state’s project, concluding West Virginia wasted between $7.9 million and
$15 million on oversized routers that
cost $22,600 piece.
ICF said state officials now have few
options for fixing the problem they created with Frontier.
Though competitors could build their
own system and try to connect to Frontier’s fragmented network, the report
concludes that “from any reasonable
practical point of view, this is not feasible.”
report by ICF International, examining
the $126 million statewide broadband
expansion project. It concludes the project created an “unintended monopoly”
for Frontier that has “no practical use
for the public or competition.”
The state is using $40 million of the
stimulus funds to pay Frontier to install
more than 500 miles of fiber-optic cable
statewide.
ICF, based in Vienna, Va., also accused Frontier of driving up costs by
“gold-plating” facilities, or installing up
to six times more strands of fiber than
needed at schools, libraries and other
public buildings.
People overseeing the project have
defended the network as an affordable,
high-speed system that could serve
700,000 homes and 110,000 businesses.
But ICF concluded Frontier is building a “private” network that shuts out
competitors and fails to connect public
buildings to each other or to Frontier’s
central offices.
Frontier called the report “worthless,”
arguing a federal agency overseeing the
broadband project dismissed similar accusations two years ago.
“The ICF report provides worthless,
inaccurate and stale comments that
merely repeat previously repudiated allegations,” said Dana Waldo, general
manager of West Virginia operations.
“It is totally incomprehensible that ICF
failed to realize that the project’s federal
oversight agency investigated such red
herrings and soundly rejected them in
November 2010.”
Waldo said Frontier has worked with
federal and state officials throughout
the project, which included numerous
reviews and audits.

greater say when alreadyemployed educators are
among the candidates for a
classroom teaching post.
In perhaps the biggest
concession to these groups,
the Senate removed language that would have allowed the nonprofit Teach
for America program into
West Virginia schools. The
changes also require the
Department of Education
to trim non-classroom personnel costs by 5 percent in
each of the next two budget
years.
The Senate removed the
$175,000 salary cap for
the state schools superintendent. With the state
board seeking to conduct
a national search for job
candidates, the bill already
dropped the requirement
that a superintendent’s
master’s degree has to be in
education administration.
Tomblin and lawmakers have focused on public
schools in the wake of an
audit that contrasted hefty
taxpayer spending with
poor student achievement.
That study also compared
West Virginia to other
states and found it uniquely
burdened by highly detailed
education laws and a large
number of state-level employees relative to the student population.
Friday’s 95-2 House vote
came after failed attempts
Thursday by the minority
Republicans to cut department staffing further, add
charter schools and offer
teachers a tougher evaluation process in exchange
for cash bonuses. Republican Delegates Marty Gearheart of Mercer County and
Larry Kump of Berkeley
cast Friday’s nay votes.
“I’m concerned about the
state Board of Education
still being too top-heavy
and with too much authority over local schools,”
Kump told colleagues.
Before voting for the bill,
a number of other Republicans said they were disappointed it didn’t take bolder
steps to shake up West Virginia’s education system.
Some also lamented the victories won by the teachers’
groups. Democrats, meanwhile, expressed pride in
the final bill, and hope that
it will mark a turnaround
for education.
“No bill does everything
we need to do, but this bill
does a whole lot of good
things,” said Delegate Josh
Stowers, a Lincoln Democrat who’s also an assistant
principal. “This is going to
be good for kids… We did
something good this year.”
Several lawmakers argued for fast-tracking additional measures to improve
schools. Tomblin already
plans to sign executive orders and has appealed to
the state board to take further steps. Dale Lee, president of the West Virginia
Education
Association,
cast the bill as a starting
point for needed change.
Speaking at the governor’s press conference, Lee
called for providing more
time for teachers to collaborate, having stronger
anti-truancy and mentoring programs, holding parents more accountable and
“making sure we have the
best teachers in front of
our students each and every day, and that includes
paying them what they’re
worth.”

Six weeks after Kitty and I

and heard them still crying out,
“Crucify Him, Crucify Him!” Pilate then said, “You take Him and

friends endorsing Eddie
Lee and Arvis Curry to the
Logan High School Hall
of Fame. Please, add my
name to that list. The two
former gridiron greats deserve that honor for their
accomplishments at LHS.
Logan is not a football
school but in 1968 it was.
Friday night in Logan
was electric whenever the
Cats were in town. Logan
Stadium would be bulging
with standing room only
crowds. This was Southern West Virginia’s version
of Friday Night Lights.
This all can be attributed to Coac Elliott Uzalac’s
Wildcats led by Eddie and
Arvis. The most memorable game for me was the
only game that I missed
that year. I sat in my home
at Peach Creed, listening
the WLOG broadcast of
the Beckley (Woodrow
Wilson) game. Like Steve
said in his letter, we were
down big late in the game.
Eddie fielded a punt deep
in our territory. I could
literally see him cutting,
juking and stiff arming his
way for 80-yard plus touchdown. That touchdown
shifted all the momentum
towards LHS. We won the
game going away.
The Cats only lost one
game that year, Big Creek
of War. This team, led by
Eddie and Arvis, arguably
is the best football team
that Logan has ever had.
I believe just for that fact
they deserve to be in the
HOF.
It would be a memorable Friday night, Oct
4th, if they were inducted
in the HOF on that date.
I know that I would be in
the stands with Jack, Steve
and the rest of the Class of
‘68 cheering them and the
Wildcats on like we did in
our youth.

—2nd Amendment
Editor,
The 2nd Amendment assures everyone the right to
bear arms. No exceptions
or exclusions.
I have made many firearms purchases since I
was of legal age to do so
and not once in my 50 plus
years have I ever been denied the privilege. I have
recently applied for a concealed carry permit and
was turned down for not
disclosing my medical history, which is protected by
HIPA (Health Information
Privacy Act).
I have paid all necessary
fees and have complied
with all State and local authorities. I have never committed a crime and even
held a job working for the
government that required
a security clearance.
I only own one handgun
and would like a permit
to concealed carry rather
than carry it openly carry
as permitted by state law.
I feel strongly that if I am
able to purchase a firearm
than I should at least be
able to carry it inconspicu-
ously. If not, than a full refund should be in order.
The Sheriffs Department wants to violate my
rights and also deny my
privilege for a permit. This
is a “shall issue” state and
I can’t understand why, if
I am able to buy one, not
be allowed to carry it concealed.

three Federal income tax

—Coyote bounty bound
to fail
Editor,
As a native of West Virginia, I hate it when my
home state looks stupid.
But boy, do we ever look
stupid after Agriculture
Commissioner Walt Helmick proposed a coyote
bounty.
Bounties on coyotes
have been expensive failures for taxpayers everywhere they’ve been tried.
Instead, let’s use those
funds to teach sheep farmers successful, nonlethal
methods of preventing
predation. These methods
include erecting better
fences, adopting good husbandry practices and using
guard dogs, llamas and
donkeys in the fields.
What is the real story
here? Is the Agriculture
Commissioner really proposing bounties to appease
hunters, who want something challenging to kill,
like coyotes? It is unethical
to gun down wildlife just
for the thrill of the kill.
Coyotes are helping the
West Virginia ecosystem
by eating lots of rodents
and the smaller carnivores
(opossums, skunks and
raccoons), which have had
few predators. Coyotes
also clean up carrion.
C’mon, West Virginia!
Let’s base policy on science and not waste our
money. Let’s drop this
goofy bounty idea.
I now live in Southwest
Virginia and volunteer for
Project Coyote (projectcoyote.org), a national
organization founded by
wildlife scientists who
have studied what works.
I suggest checking their
website for more information based on research, not

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — The mother of a baby
gunned down in his stroller says she has no
doubt a teenage suspect is the man who killed
her 13-month-old son, but family members say
he wasn’t anywhere near the scene.
“That’s definitely him,” Sherry West said Saturday when she saw the jail mugshot of 17-yearold De’Marquise Elkins, who is charged as an
adult with first-degree murder. Police also arrested a 14-year-old who has not been identified
because he’s a minor.
“We’re trying to determine which one actually was the shooter,” police spokesman Todd
Rhodes said Saturday.
But West said she was certain the gunman
was the older suspect. “He killed my baby, and
he shot me, too,” she said.
On Thursday morning, West was pushing Antonio Santiago in his stroller after a trip to the
post office. She said a teen, accompanied by a
smaller boy, asked her for money.
“And he kept asking, and I just said, ‘I don’t
have it.’ And he said, ‘Do you want me to kill
your baby?’ And I said, ‘No, don’t kill my baby!’”
she said.
One of the teens fired four shots, then walked
around to the stroller and shot the baby in the
face.
Police announced the arrests of Elkins and the
14-year-old Friday afternoon. But Elkins’ older
sister said her family knows he wasn’t involved
in the shooting.
“My brother wasn’t anywhere near that area
as far as we know — not the scene or the shooting,” she said Saturday. She said she didn’t know
whether Elkins had a lawyer.
“He couldn’t have done that to a little baby,”
she said. “My brother has a good heart.”
She said her brother had been living in Atlanta and returned to Brunswick only a few months
ago. Typically, he would come by her house in
the morning and they’d go to breakfast. But
Friday morning, police came to her door as her
brother was approaching along the sidewalk.
“The police came pointing a Taser at him,
telling him to get on the ground,” she said. “He
said, ‘What are you getting me for? Can you tell
me what I did?’”
On Saturday, police released recordings of
three 911 calls made by West’s neighbors right
after the shooting.
One caller, sobbing, tells the operator she
heard three gunshots. The woman says she saw
the mother lay the child on the ground to try to
revive him with CPR.
“Yes, I heard the shots. Somebody shot this
child,” the caller said. “She’s got him on the
ground. Please, we need everything we can get.”
One caller solemnly tells an operator: “No,
the baby’s not breathing.” He says the child was
shot “right between the eyes.”
A woman can be heard screaming in the
background just before police arrive and sirens
drown out her cries.
No callers reported seeing the shootings, and
police said the three calls were the only ones
they knew of.
At her apartment Saturday, West had filled
several bags with her son’s clothes and diapers
to donate to charity. She said she hopes prosecutors pursue the death penalty in the case.
“My baby will never be back again,” West
said, sobbing. “He took an innocent life. I want
his life, too.”
Punxsutawney Phil ‘indicted’
over spring forecast
Amanda Lee Myers
and Mark Scolforo
CINCINNATI — Famed
groundhog Punxsutawney
Phil might want to go back
into hibernation.
Authorities in still-frigid
Ohio have issued an “indictment” of the furry
rodent, who predicted
an early spring when he
didn’t see his shadow after
emerging from his western
Pennsylvania lair on Feb. 2.
“Punxsutawney Phil did
purposely, and with prior
calculation and design,
cause the people to believe
that spring would come
early,” Mike Gmoser, the
prosecutor in southwestern Ohio’s Butler County,
wrote in an official-looking
indictment.
Gmoser wrote that Punxsutawney Phil is charged
with misrepresentation of
spring, which constitutes
a felony “against the peace
and dignity of the state of
Ohio.”
The penalty Phil faces?
Gmoser says — tongue
firmly in cheek — is death.
Punxsutawney Phil does
not have a listed phone
number.
Bill Deeley, president
of the Punxsutawney club
that organizes Groundhog
Day, said Phil has a lawyer
and would fight any extradition attempt by Ohio authorities.
Deeley defended his
fur-bearing associate and
said the death penalty was
“very harsh” given the nature of the allegations.
“We’ll have to plead our
case one way or the other,
but I think we can beat the
rap,” Deeley said.
The vitriolic backlash on
social media to Phil’s deadwrong prognostication has
not gone unnoticed in and
around Gobbler’s Knob,
Deeley said, and special
security precautions were
in place.
“Right next to where
Phil stays is the police station,” he said. “They’ve
been notified and they said
they will keep watching
their monitors.”
Winter has been dragging on in the Buckeye
State and surrounding areas, with daily high temperatures this week hovering in the mid-30s and no
end in sight for about 10
days, said Don Hughes, a
meteorologist with the National Weather Service in
Wilmington, Ohio.
A storm moving into the
region Sunday could bring
between 4 and 8 inches of
snow, he said.
“It’s taking too long,”
Hughes said, adding that
he’s hearing plenty of complaints from colleagues and
neighbors about the late
spring. “Most people I’ve
talked to say they’ve had
enough. They want spring.
They’re looking for colors
and sunshine and Easter
lilies.”
Gov. Beshear vetoes religious freedom bill
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP)
— Gov. Steve Beshear vetoed a bill Friday that was
intended to provide stronger protections of religious
rights in Kentucky, setting
the stage for a potential
override before the legislative session draws to a close
early next week.
Beshear said in a statement that he values religious freedom and appreciates the good intentions of
lawmakers who overwhelmingly passed the legislation.
“However, I have significant concerns that this bill
will cause serious unintentional consequences that
could threaten public safety,
health care, and individuals’ civil rights,” he said.
“As written, the bill will
undoubtedly lead to costly
litigation.”
Beshear has been under
pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union
of Kentucky and other
groups to veto the measure
that they contend could allow people to discriminate
against gays, lesbians and
others in the name of religion. Meanwhile, church
groups have been urging
Beshear to sign the bill,
saying Kentucky should
be allowed to join 16 other
states that provide similar
protections for people of
faith.
The sponsor of the bill,
Democratic Rep. Bob Damron of Nicholasville, warned
Friday that he would push
for a legislative override
before the Legislature adjourns on Tuesday. Senate
President Robert Stivers,
R-Manchester, said the Senate is prepared to override
the veto, though the House
will have to take action first.
Damron sponsored the
bill after the Kentucky Supreme Court issued a ruling
last year upholding a state
law requiring the Amish to
display bright orange safety
triangles on their drab buggies so motorists could better see them. Several Amish
men in rural western Kentucky felt so strongly that
displaying the triangles violated their religious belief
against calling attention to
themselves that they went
to jail rather than comply
with the law.
The legislation protects
“sincerely held religious beliefs” from infringement unless there is “a compelling
governmental interest.”
The Fairness Coalition,
a gay rights group, said the
bill “could make discrimination legal” in Kentucky.
Wayne State University
law professor Christopher
Lund reviewed the effects
of religious freedom laws,
finding they’ve largely been
unused and that people who
did claim religious infringement in those states lost
more often than they won.
In New Mexico, one of
the states with a religious
freedom law, a Christian
wedding photographer lost
two court rulings after she
refused to take pictures of
the commitment ceremony
of a lesbian couple.
Damron
acknowledged that passing the bill
wouldn’t to bring landmark
change in Kentucky.
“But it does reinforce that
somebody’s basic right of
religious expression is paramount and the government
has to have a compelling
interest to override that,”
he said.
Martin
Cothran,
a
spokesman for The Family
Foundation, said the veto
was sad news in the Biblebelt state.
“This puts churches
around the commonwealth of Kentucky on notice that the First Amendment religious freedoms
they thought their government respected may
now be negotiable,” Cothran said. “We just hope
elected lawmakers in the
Legislature will act quickly to correct the gover-
nor’s action. We think
they will.”
ACLU of Kentucky Executive Director Michael Aldridge said Beshear headed
off discrimination by vetoing the bill.
“With the myriad of
concerns and questions
that have been raised over
the past several weeks, we
strongly urge the Kentucky
legislature to allow Gov.
Beshear’s veto to stand,” Aldridge said. “This would allow lawmakers another year
to reach a compromise that
would ensure the proper balance between individuals’
religious freedom and others’ civil rights protections.”
Louisville Mayor Greg
Fischer, one of the more vocal opponents of Damron’s
bill, said in a statement that
Beshear made the right decision.
“I applaud the governor
for making this bold move,”
Fischer said. “His action
demonstrates true leadership. He listened to all sides
and made the right decision
in the best interest of the
entire commonwealth.”

Chapmanville’s Martin first-team all-state
CLARKSBURG (AP) —
Throughout his high school
basketball career, Brett Morris was often referred to as the
“best-kept secret” in the state as
Webster County High School is
tucked away in an isolated part
of West Virginia, an area stuck
outside of most media’s primary
markets.
Some secrets are impossible to
keep hidden though, as Morris
was selected first-team captain
for the Class AA boys basketball
all-state team by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
Morris led the Highlanders
within a game of a second consecutive state tournament appearance before Webster was
ousted by North Marion in a
thrilling double-overtime Region
1 co-final.
He finished his senior season leading the Highlanders in
five statistical categories with
averages of 25.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.5 steals
and 4.6 blocks.
He’s joined on the first team by
a pair of Bluefield players - junior
guards Lykel Collier and Anthony Eades - who helped the Beavers capture their first Class AA
state championship since 1996.
Eades, who averaged 19.3
points and shot 42.2 percent
from 3-point range, joins Morris
as the only repeat selection to
the Class AA first team. Collier,
last year’s second-team captain,
averaged 13.4 points, 8.2 assists
and five rebounds.
A trio of Big 10 Conference
schools that moved down from
Class AAA to AA this season
and advanced to the semifinal
round of the state tournament Fairmont Senior, Bridgeport and
Robert C. Byrd - are represented
on the first team by one player
apiece.
For the Polar Bears, senior
Travon Horton, who averaged
18.5 points and seven rebounds,
was picked after leading his team
against Bluefield in last Saturday’s title game. Bridgeport’s
Tyler Sprouse, who averaged
14.7 points, three assists and 2.5
steals, was the Indians’ top scorer and helped his team advance
to the state semifinals
RCB sophomore Devonti
Birch has emerged as one of the
state’s most versatile players and
was the Eagles’ leading scorer at
13.2 points per game, along with
averages of 6.1 rebounds and 3.1
steals, for a team that also advanced to the state semifinals.
The first team is rounded out
by Chapmanville’s Mackenzie
Martin and Liberty Raleigh’s
Levi Cook.
Martin averaged a doubledouble with 21.2 points and 11
rebounds per contest, as did the
sophomore Cook, who averaged
23.5 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.1
blocks and 3.1 steals.
Fairmont Senior junior point
guard Jarin Hilson is the captain
of the second team. He averaged
16.8 points and six assists and
is joined by Summers County’s
Taron Ayers (27.5 ppg, 3 assists), Westside’s Corey Bowles
(19 ppg, 4 assists, 3 steals),
North Marion’s Matt Cain (12
ppg, 5 reb), Ritchie County’s
Andrew Davis (18.8 ppg),
Scott’s Matt Dolan (17.0 ppg),
Sissonville’s Zach Null (17.8
ppg, 4.5 assists) and Tolsia’s
Morgan Stacy (13.9 ppg).
The captain of the third
team is Bluefield’s Michael
Yost (15 ppg). He’s joined by
Mingo Central’s Austin Banks
(15.7 ppg, 6.1 reb, 8.5 assists),
Wyoming East’s Brett Bowling
(16.9 ppg), Westside’s Justin
Cogar (17.0 ppg, 8.5 reb),
Poca’s Noah Frampton (14.1
ppg), Bridgeport’s Jordan Haywood (13.8 ppg, 5.7 reb, 2.8
assists), Robert C. Byrd’s Iziah
Hill (10.3 ppg, 5.7 reb, 2.8 assists) and Fairmont Senior’s
Shaquille Washington (11.5
ppg, 9.8 reb).

the game stayed until the last
half of the fifth when the Tigers
scored a run without the aid of

Thompson, Brent Bigley and
Brady Cox led off the inning by
drawing three straight walks by
Point Pleasant reliever Nick Templeton. Adam Dingess then was
hit by a pitch with one out, forcing
in a run to up the margin to 5-1.
The Tigers then broke the

double which rolled to the left

coach Eric Ellis said. “They
are a really good team and they
threw their number one guy at
us. For our young group of guys
this was a real big win for us
this early in the season.”
Not only was it a quality win
the Tigers also got a quality
start and quality innings from
junior starting pitcher Nick
Brumfield.
Brumfield, a right-hander,
pitched the win for Chapmanville as he went five innings and
allowed two runs and six hits
with seven strikeouts and no
walks. Tristan Thompson then
finished off the Big Blacks as
he hurled two innings and gave
up three runs and two hits with
three walks and four strikeouts.
“That’s two games in a row

us zero walks,” Ellis said.
“When you throw strikes, work

to win. I thought that we did
that tonight. He threw strikes
and we played good defense behind him.”
With temperatures in the
30s for the game it wasn’t
the best of conditions for the
pitchers. Brumfield, however,
took breaks between innings
in Chapmanville’s heated clubhouse behind the dugout.
“We’ve been going back to

Chapmanville left fielder, then
trotted home on a wild pitch as
the Tigers led 4-1.
Both teams went scoreless in
the second, third and fourth innings.
Toler was tagged with the
loss for Point. He pitched five
innings and yielded four runs
and two hits with nine strikeouts, two walks and two hit
batsmen. Potter also came on
to pitch for the Big Blacks in
the fifth.
Thompson led Chapmanville
at the plate as the sophomore
shortstop was 2-for-3 with two
RBI. Leadoff man and centerfielder Brock Dalton and
catcher Scottie Thompson each
singled.
Point Pleasant outhit CRHS
8-5 but committed four errors
to two for Chapmanville.
Alex Somerville and Gardner
each had two hits for the Big

Chapmanville was scheduled
to return to action on Saturday
afternoon at home against Van.
The game was moved up from
Monday night’s original date. A
spring snowstorm is expected
to hit Logan County on Sunday
night and into Monday as significant snowfall accumulation
is possible according to the
Weather Channel.
So far, the cold start to the
baseball season has not bothered the Tigers.
“It’s cold but we seem to like
it. We’ve played well two nights
in a row,” Ellis said.

Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, &
Friend; we couldn’t help but think about
all the changes, emotions, and images that
have occurred and/or been felt this past
year since March 24th, 2012. Yet the one
thing that remained constant and never
failed to always be there was LOVE... the
love from Family, from Friends, and at
times even total strangers. Dad helped
anyone and everyone because of nothing
but pure unconditional LOVE - that kind
of LOVE has come back full circle to our
family. So, for receiving such an amazing
gift, we would like to express our deepest
gratitude and warmest thanks by wishing
all of Logan a HAPPY EASTER.
During Dad’s walk here on Earth, he was a true man of God, who
did his best to make a difference and believed “Find the Good” in
every situation and then make it even better. Our hope is that we
will continue to honor his memory by trying to do the same and
we ask the wonderful people of this fine community to join us on
his journey as well; by being kind to one another and make him
proud as He watches over all of us from Heaven!
With sincere thanks,

Chapmanville’s Banks has 1.69 ERA with UC
Sports Editor
Logan County has been
known over the years for
producing fine baseball
players.
Several go on to play
at the collegiate level and
some even end up turning
pro.
You don’t have to go any
further than the University
of Charleston which has
seven former county baseball players on its current
active roster.
Currently on the team
are: freshman shortstop
Zac Gresham, who played
at both Chapmanville and
Logan high schools; junior
third baseman Tim Rein
from Logan; sophomore
catcher Jordan Kirk of
Chapmanville; sophomore
pitcher Dylan Saunders of
Chapmanville; sophomore
CK
Q U I LT S
U
RES
outfielder Josh Easterling
of Chapmanville; junior
pitcher Corey Lakatos
of Logan; and freshman
pitcher Jordan Banks of
Chapmanville.
On Wednesday night at
home, UC took Game 2
of a doubleheader against
nationally ranked Seton
Hill on a walk-off RBI to
win 3-2. The day ended up
being a split as the Griffins
won Game 1 by a 7-6 score.
The second game was
a pitcher’s dual between
Banks, the UC starter and
Seton Hill’s Sam Bashioum. Each would throw
five innings and give up
two runs in the no decision
before giving way to relief.
Banks went 5.1 innings
and allowed two runs (one
earned) and five hits while
issuing three walks.
Banks has started two
games and is 0-0 with
a 1.69 ERA — the best
on the team so far. The
lefty and former Tiger
has pitched 10.2 innings
and has allowed just two
earned runs and seven hits
with eight walks and four
strikeouts. Opponents are
hitting only .194 against
Banks.
Banks was a member
of Coach Eric Ellis’ 35-3
Class AA state championship team of 2011. He
tossed a one-hitter in
Chapmanville’s 8-0 victory
over Wyoming East in the
Class AA state title game
at Charleston’s Appalachian Power Park.
Charleston now stands
at 6-9 on the season and
4-2 in the WVIAC.
UC was scheduled to
return to action Saturday
with a league doubleheader against Davis & Elkins
College.
Josh Easterling is currently hitting .278 in seven
games played with five
hits, including two doubles
and an RBI.
Rein is off to a slow start
with a .133 average with
four hits in 30 official trips
to the plate and three RBI.
Banks is 3-for-4 at the
plate with a .750 average
and a double.
Gresham is hitting .222
as he is 2-for-9 with two
RBI in four games played.
Kirk is 1-for-9 with a
.111 average.
Lakatos is 1-1 this season with a 2.35 ERA. He
has thrown four innings
and has struck out three
and walked three. He also
has one save.
Saunders, a lefty, is 0-0
with a 5.41 ERA. He has
hurled 3.1 innings and has
fanned one and walked six.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
March 25, 2013:
This year you greet change in a
positive manner. Your daily life takes
on a more upbeat tone. Your ability
to attract others’ interest soars, especially when having one-on-one discussions. If you are single, you will have
to decide whether you want to stay
that way, as many people find you
intriguing. If you are attached, take
up a new hobby or project together.
VIRGO can be fussy and critical.
Remember that when dealing with
this sign.
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)
HHH You might feel overburdened
as you deal with others’ plights.
Shaking yourself free takes talent and
detachment. Though you might want
to do more, you have limits. Changes
are brewing around authority. Do not
fight the inevitable. Tonight: Let it all
hang out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH You continue to see life in
a different, more grounded way. You
might wonder what is going on around
you, as others seem to act oddly.
Detach more. Tonight: Find a person
who knows more about the topic at
hand, and/or surf the web to get more
information.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH You might be a bit more
grounded than you’d like. Information
that is forthcoming could challenge
your knowledge of a specific relationship or financial agreement. Keep digging as you seek new information and
understanding. Tonight: Let go of a
vision of how things “should” be.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Ask more questions. You
might realize that someone close to
you is changing, and he or she could
be quite controlling at this point in
time. Opportunities come from your
imagination and your willingness to
look at hard facts. Tonight: Have a
long-overdue discussion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Be aware of the cost of
proceeding in a certain direction.
You might want to rethink a decision
involving your daily life and finances.
Brainstorm with a friend who knows
you. Your decision might change with
some insight. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Ad goes here
Horoscope
HHH You could be full of energy
and feel the need to move through
a problem. Your ability to change
how situations look is quite unique.
Knowing what you need to do is
important. Answer someone about an
issue that keeps resurfacing. Tonight:
Lighten up, and enjoy yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH You might feel weighed down
by a changing situation in your life.
Home and family no longer carry the
same significance. Realize what is
happening behind the scenes. You
could be fearful of the implications of
a decision. Be honest with yourself.
Tonight: Soul searching.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You might want to rethink
a decision that has been weighing
heavily on your mind. If there is a
misunderstanding or a lack of communication, perhaps it is time to clear
the air. What might be bothering you
could be irrelevant to the other party.
Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You’ll open up to new ideas
and a better way of living. Optimism
follows you everywhere, and it presents you with many opportunities. Be
the captain of your ship. You could be
overtired by everything you need to
get done. Others will follow your lead.
Tonight: To the wee hours.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Defer to someone who
might be more detached and slightly
less emotional than you. You could
discover many paths to take. You
know where you want to head and
why — just not how. Don’t minimize
a situation involving a friend. Tonight:
Follow your imagination.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Deal with a partner directly.
Your creativity invites many opportunities, and it also helps you identify
them. You might be forced to face the
fact that a preconceived notion is not
valid. Don’t fight this realization so
hard. Go with it, and you’ll be better
off. Tonight: Be spontaneous.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Others demand your attention, yet your imagination wanders.
Recognize that your self-discipline
needs to kick in. Give some thought
about a change in your day-to-day
life that has captured your interest. A
meeting changes direction. Tonight:
Where the action is.
