Middleport to seek funding for riverfront trail
Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

MIDDLEPORT — Another
step toward developing a milelong walking and bike trail
along the Ohio River from the
Dairy Queen to Custer Street
has been taken by Middleport
Village Council.
At Monday night’s meeting,
Council appointed Mayor Michael Gerlach to serve as agent
in applying for funding for the
project. To have an agent is a
requirement before applications can be filed.

It was emphasized in the meeting that the trail development
will not go forward unless it is
completely funded with grants
awarded to the village. At the
request of Councilman Craig
Wehrung, assurance was given
that “no village money” will be
spent on developing the trail.
The design and engineering for
the multi-purpose trail has already been completed and the
next step is construction.
The estimated cost of construction is $2,238,000. As for
the funding, applications will

be filed with the Ohio Department of Transportation for an
80 percent grant, and with the
Ohio Department of Natural Resources for the balance of 20 percent . With Council’s resolution
to name Gerlach as agent for the
project, he can now begin the
process of putting together funding for the trail.
Landscaping in front of village hall with slow growing,
low maintenance, greenery in
the area between the building
and the sidewalk was discussed.
Cost estimates from Bob’s Mar-

ket for the soil enrichment,
mulch, and the shrubs came in
at about $1,700. Work on the
project will be handled by employees and volunteers.
Meeting with Council again
was a representative of Skatetopia
to further discuss a proposal for a
skate park in the old swimming
pool building. She presented to
Council members a listing of possible grants which might be available for funding the conversion.
A resident attending the
meeting complained to Council
about the lack of response when

Cleaning up the stream

he contacted the police department in regard to a home security problem. It was also reported
during the meeting that a camper on South Third is parked in
front of fire hydrant.
The Middleport Community
Association was commended
for its role in community affairs.
Council member Rae Moore
spoke of the members involvement and support in village
activities including the regular
luncheons in Diles Park the proceeds of which goes toward providing money for holiday events.

Despite the mild temperatures on Saturday morning, dozens of volunteers turned out for the 13th annual Leading Creek Stream Sweep. Volunteers included youth from many local scout organizations. The first Leading Creek
Stream Sweep was held in 2001 in Rutland and it has been held every April since then, roughly coinciding with
Earth Day. The event was sponsored by the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District, Rutland Township Board of
Trustees and the Meigs Transfer Station. The annual Ohio River Sweep will be held June 15 at locations in Pomeroy,
Syracuse and Racine.

POMEROY — The
Pomeroy Police Officer at
the center of a controversy
involving the now former
Mayor of Pomeroy earlier
this year has resigned from
the department.
Officer Kyle Calendine’s
resignation was approved
by a 5-1 vote following a
more than 30-minute executive session during
Monday’s regular meeting. Calendine was drawn
into the national media
spotlight briefly in February amid allegations of
discrimination against his
sexual preference.
Council President Ruth
Spaun requested the executive session to discuss disciplinary matters with a police department employee.
Following the executive session, it was stated
that no action would be
taken with regard to the
matter discussed.

The motion was then
made to accept the resignation of Calendine.
Spaun was the lone “no”
vote to accept the officer’s resignation.
Calendine was on the
agenda for Monday’s
meeting and was in attendance, but did not address council.
Police Chief Mark Proffitt stated that Calendine’s
resignation was effective
April 15. According to the
resignation letter, Calendine is taking a position
with another department.
The letter did not reference the controversy from
earlier this year, nor did it
specify with which department Calendine would be
working. Proffitt told The
Daily Sentinel that Calendine’s decision pertained,
at least in part, to the
distance of his commute
to work from his Athens
County residence.

Second day of Corfias
murder trial comes to close
Amber Gillenwater

agillenwater@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — Following day two of testimony
in the jury trial against the
man accused in the murder
of Thomas Marr last year,
the state rested its case.
The prosecution, led by
Gallia County Assistant
Prosecutor Eric Mulford,
called their final three witnesses on Tuesday in the
matter of the State of Ohio
versus Semaki G. Corfias.
Corfias, 52, Gallipolis,
stands accused of stabbing and killing Thomas
Marr on the morning of
February 22, 2012, at
Marr’s residence at 1607
Ohio 7 North.
Marr, 29, was found
unresponsive by first responders who were dis-

patched to the scene just
prior to 12 p.m. on the
day in question.
The first to take the
stand on Tuesday morning was Joshua Saunders,
the only witness the state
called who was present at
the scene on the morning
of Marr’s death last year.
Saunders reported that
he had been acquainted
with Corfias as, at the
time, he would often purchase Suboxone tablets
from the defendant.
On the morning of February 22, 2012, Saunders
stated that he traveled to
Corfias’ residence and observed the defendant and
Marr talking to one another just outside of the
residence.

Attorney Sheets speaks at Professional Women’s luncheon
Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The importance of
keeping a sense of humor while traveling the road to success was the advice
of Pomeroy Attorney Jennifer Sheets,
speaker at a recent meeting of the Professional Women’s Stories of Success
luncheon held at the Wildhorse Café.
Sheets after giving her professional background — from Pomeroy
High School to Ohio State University where she studied to be a home
economics agent to Capital University where she received her law degree to the legal practice in Pomeroy
— talked about the road to success
she followed and the lessons she
learned along the way.
“Never lose your sense of humor,

“ she advised, “and always strive to
keep the right balance between your
personal and business life.”
She said that early on she
learned the lessons of not taking
things personally when others disagree with you, listening to what
other people have to say and not
being afraid to ask for help from
someone with more experience.
Listen to learn something new
and when conversing concentrate on
what is being said. The importance
of eye contact when talking with
someone, the need to call people by
name, to show an interest in hearing
what they have to say, and not talking about yourself, while always being alert to potential opportunities,
was stressed by the speaker.
Sheets related her experiences of

going from extension agent to mother to dulcimer player, to Appalachian
workshop instructor, and finally to
getting a law degree after traveling
to Columbus for four years to attend
law school. During that time she said
she learned to let family members
help around the house, to set priorities, and to learn to just let some
things go. She said that if you think
you want to try something new, go
for it, and then work hard, persevere,
don’t give up, and be flexible.
She commented on the transition
points of life, noted that wisdom
comes with age and stressed the importance of making the most of the
time you have. Then, in conclusion,
she reminded her listeners again of

Hackers compromise Three murder charges
AP Twitter account
against Pa. abortion doc tossed

NEW YORK (AP) — Hackers compromised Twitter accounts of The Associated Press on Tuesday, sending
out a false tweet about an attack at the
White House.
The false tweet said there had been
two explosions at the White House
and that President Barack Obama was
injured. The attack on AP’s Twitter
account and the AP Mobile Twitter
account was preceded by phishing attempts on AP’s corporate network.
The AP confirmed that its Twitter account had been suspended following a
hack and said it was working to correct
the issue. The fake tweet went out shortly after 1 p.m. and briefly sent the Dow

Jones Industrial Average sharply lower.
The Dow fell about 143 points, from
14,697 to 14,554, after the fake Twitter
posting, and then quickly recovered.
A Securities and Exchange Commission spokeswoman declined comment
on the incident.
AP spokesman Paul Colford said the
news cooperative is working with Twitter to investigate the issue. The AP has
disabled its other Twitter accounts following the attack, Colford added.
White House spokesman Jay Carney
said the President is fine. “I was just with
him,” Carney said at a news briefing.
A representative for Twitter did not immediately return messages for comment.

Second man says home
being searched in ricin case
TUPELO, Miss. (AP)
— The Mississippi man
charged with sending poisoned letters to President
Barack Obama and others
was released from jail Tuesday without explanation,
while FBI agents returned to
another man’s house where
they’d previously searched
in connection with the case.
Everett Dutschke said in
a phone interview with The
Associated Press that the
FBI was at his home Tuesday for a search related to
the mailing of the poisoned
letters to Obama, U.S. Senator Roger Wicker and a
Mississippi judge. Dutschke
said his house was also
searched last week.
Dutschke has maintained
his innocence and says
he doesn’t know anything
about the ingredients for
ricin. He said agents asked
him questions about suspect
Paul Kevin Curtis but also

asked him if he would take a
lie detector test and whether he had ever bought castor
beans, which can be used to
make the potent poison.
“I’m a patriotic American. I don’t have any
grudges against anybody.
I did not send the letters,”
Dutschke said.
Outside his house, numerous law enforcement officers from several agencies
were seen along with a mobile crime lab.
Earlier Tuesday, Curtis
was released from custody,
though authorities didn’t explain why. His attorney has
said he’s innocent and may
have been framed.
Jeff Woodfin, chief deputy
with the U.S. Marshals Service in Oxford, Miss., said
Curtis was released from
custody but that he doesn’t
know if there were any conditions on the release.
Defense lawyer Christi

McCoy, who has been pushing for the charges to be
dropped, said in a text message Tuesday that she could
only confirm that her client
has been released.
“I can tell you he is with
his family,” McCoy said.
McCoy has said that
there is a news conference
scheduled for 5 p.m. CDT
to discuss the case.
Curtis was arrested last
Wednesday at his house in
Corinth, Miss., and charged
with sending the ricin-laced
letters, the first of which
was found April 15.
Tuesday’s hearing in
federal court was canceled
about 90 minutes after it was
supposed to begin. Lawyers
spent that time conferring
with the judge. Later, Curtis
and family members were
escorted into a meeting
room with his lawyers, followed by a probation officer.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Three
of eight murder charges were thrown
out Tuesday against a Philadelphia
abortion provider whose clinic was
called a “house of horrors,” apparently because the judge had not heard
sufficient evidence from prosecutors
that the three babies were viable,
born alive and then killed.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, still faces
the death penalty if convicted of firstdegree murder in four remaining infant deaths. Prosecutors have argued
that the babies were viable and that
Gosnell and his staff cut the back of
their necks to kill them. The judge
also upheld murder charges in a patient’s overdose death.
Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Minehart did not explain why he granted
some of the defense motion to acquit
Gosnell after more than a month of
prosecution testimony. Such motions
are routine but rarely granted.
The defense questioned testimony
from staffers who said they had seen
babies move, cry or breathe. McMahon argued that each testified to seeing only a single movement or breath.
“These are not the movements of
a live child,” McMahon said. “There
is not one piece — not one — of objective, scientific evidence that anyone was born alive.”
The trial resumed Tuesday afternoon with character witnesses testifying for Gosnell’s co-defendant,
Eileen O’Neill. She is charged with
three counts of theft for practicing
medicine without a license. Minehart
dismissed six additional counts of
that charge Tuesday.
The jury will also ponder thirddegree murder charges against Gosnell for the 2009 overdose death of
41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, a
recent refugee to the U.S. who died
after an abortion at hiss Women’s
Medical Society.
McMahon argued that third-degree
requires malice, or “conscious disregard” for her life.

“She wasn’t treated any differently than any of the other thousands of other people who went
through there,” McMahon argued
Tuesday, in a preview of his likely
closing arguments.
Prosecutors might concede that
point themselves at closings, and
argue that patients were routinely
exposed to unsanitary, intentionally reckless conditions at the clinic.
Former staffers have testified that
patients received heavy sedatives and
painkillers from untrained workers
while Gosnell was offsite, and were
then left in waiting rooms for hours,
often unattended, before Gosnell arrived for the late-night surgeries.
Despite that, the workers testified
that they had never seen a woman
go into distress before Mongar. Yet
a 2011 grand jury report alleges that
dozens of women were injured at
Gosnell’s clinic over the past 30 years,
calling it a “house of horrors.” Some
left with torn wombs or bowels, some
with venereal disease contracted
through the reuse of non-sterilized
equipment, and some left with fetal
remains still inside them, the report
alleged. And the report blamed Gosnell for an earlier maternal death that
was not charged.
Assistant District Attorney Ed
Cameron, in defending the Mongar charge, said it stemmed from
the totality of the circumstances at
Gosnell’s clinic. They included the
repeated medication dosages given
by medical assistants; the doctor’s
absence during most of her two-day
visit; and the hour it took to open
a locked side door and take her by
stretcher to an ambulance.
And the prosecutor questioned
why else Gosnell and his staff would
“snip” babies if they were not born
alive. The brains were intact, so it
was not done to make the delivery
easier, he said.
“Why would you cut a baby in the
back of the neck unless you were killing it?” Cameron argued.

Cuba Gooding Jr., onstage Drop in gas prices benefits
US drivers, economy
and in ‘creative place’
Jonathan Fahey
AP Energy Writer

Mark Kennedy
AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK — The
other night at the Stephen
Sondheim Theatre, Cuba
Gooding Jr. came bounding
onto the stage.
He had already put in
two solid hours performing in “The Trip to Bountiful,” but heard a group
of people had stayed after
the show to speak to some
of the creators.
He also had heard that
some in the group were
Morgan Stanley bankers.
“It’s time for you all to
show me the money!” he
cracked.
The bankers all burst out
laughing after hearing the
signature line that earned
Gooding an Oscar. He
then posed for pictures and
signed their programs.
“He is still in essence
a big kid in a man’s body.
That energy and that
warmth and that humor
is infectious,” says director Michael Wilson, who
watched the scene. “And
it’s all genuine. None of it
is put on.”
Meeting Gooding bears
that out — there’s a youthful energy to the 45-year-old
that practically buzzes as
he makes his professional
stage debut. The last time
he performed live was in
high school, but it’s where
he was first inspired.
“This is what made me
fall in love with acting.
Now it’s like I’m living
that again and I finally feel
awakened,” he says. “That
euphoria of doing roles is
what I was born from.”
Gooding co-stars in the
revival of Horton Foote’s
masterpiece about — appropriately enough — getting back home. He stars
opposite Cicely Tyson,
Vanessa Williams, Condola
Rashad and Tom Wopat.
Tyson plays an elderly widow who shares a
cramped two-room apartment in Houston with
her devoted son, played
by Gooding, and over-

bearing daughter-in-law,
played by Williams. The
widow soon steals away
on a bus to Bountiful, a
tiny farming town where
she spent her youth, in
hopes of recapturing her
vitality and purpose.
In many ways, it is Gooding’s trip as well after a
few fallow years where his
career seemed mired. The
guy who’d won an Oscar
in Cameron Crowe’s 1996
film, “Jerry Maguire,” was
now appearing in lackluster fare such as “Rat Race,”
”Daddy Day Camp,” ”Boat
Trip,” ”Chill Factor” and
“Snow Dogs.”
Gooding, having coffee in the lobby of the
Plaza Hotel, admits to
some acting mistakes and
sometimes getting caught
up in the silly business of
who gets the top magazine
covers. But he says a new
chapter has opened.
“There was so much expectation after I won the
Oscar. And so many opinions that floated around,
and the negativity about me
and my choices. And there
were some missteps on my
part — I was saying ‘no’ to
a lot of good directors that I
shouldn’t have,” he says.
“Now that I’m at this creative place, I understand
the path God put me on.
He put me where I’m supposed to be right now. Now
if there’s anything to prove,
it’s that that first promise of
my ability was correct and
I’m ready to engage again.”
Gooding, whose home
is in Los Angeles, has
been flirting with a stage
debut for a few years, but
needed something special
to make him leave his wife
and three children, who
range in age from 18 to 7.
He was recently offered
the part of Stanley Kowalski in a revival of “Streetcar
Named Desire” in London,
but plans fell through. Then
his agent sent him the script
of “The Trip to Bountiful.”
Wilson recalls talking
with Gooding about the
role and then inviting him

to join the production. “He
has just approached it with
tremendous energy and
heart.” When he was offered
the role by text, Gooding
responded, in tears, “There
aren’t words. I’m calling my
mother right now.”
The last time Gooding
was onstage he was a teenager, winning a monologue
competition arranged by the
Los Angeles Unified School
District with a speech from
“Twelfth Night.” An agent
was impressed and “the rest
is history.”
He went on to do a
string of guest spots and
commercials — he got his
Screen Actors Guild card
with “Hill Street Blues” and
played the sidekick of “MacGyver” for a season. His
first film part was a small
role in “Coming to America” — “my lines were cut
so I looked like an extra,” he
laughs — and then he got
the lead in 1991’s brilliant
coming-of-age drama “Boyz
n the Hood.”
“I didn’t know how important that movie was
until I looked back on
my career a few years
into it,” Gooding says. “I
went, ‘Wow, not all of my
movies are going to be received like that?’ It was a
rude awakening.”
Besides the Broadway
role, Gooding has three
movies he’s very proud
of that are coming out.
There’s “The Butler,” Lee
Daniels’ story about a black
butler who worked in the
White House for over three
decades; Jake Goldberger’s
“Life of a King,” about an
inner-city chess club that
Gooding calls “my answer
to ‘Boyz n the Hood”’; and
an untitled film about runaway slaves that he calls
“emotionally raw.” He’ll
also be in Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete Kills.”
“I realize the older I get,
when I’m not being creative
is when I’m frustrated,” he
says. “If you have talent,
that’s all that matters. And
if you focus on your craft,
your talent will show.”

NEW YORK — A sharp decline in the
price of oil this month is making gasoline
cheaper at a time of year when it typically
gets more expensive. It’s a relief to motorists and business owners and a positive
development for the economy.
Over the past three weeks, the price of
oil has fallen by 9 percent to $89 a barrel.
That has helped extend a slide in gasoline
prices that began in late February. Nationwide, average retail prices have fallen by
27 cents per gallon, or 7 percent, since
Feb. 27, to $3.52 per gallon. Analysts say
pump prices could fall another 20 cents
over the next two months.
The price of oil is being driven lower by
rising global supplies and lower-than-expected demand in the world’s two largest
economies, the United States and China.
As oil and gasoline become more affordable, the economy benefits because goods
become less expensive to transport and
motorists have more money to spend on
other things. Over the course of a year, a
decline of 10 cents per gallon translates to
$13 billion in savings at the pump.
Diesel and jet fuel have also gotten
cheaper in recent weeks, which is good
news for truckers, airlines and other energy-intensive businesses.
“It makes a big difference to my bottom
line,” says Mike Mitternight, owner of a
heating and air conditioning service company in Metairie, La. He has five pickup
trucks that can burn $1,000 of gas per
week when prices are near $4 a gallon.
Lately he’s been paying as little as $3.19,
and saving $200 a week.
Gasoline prices typically rise in the
late winter and spring as refiners shut
down parts of their plants to perform
maintenance and begin making more
costly blends of gasoline required by
federal clean-air regulations. The trend
was earlier and less dramatic this year.
Pump prices only came within 15 cents
of last year’s peak.
Oil production is growing quickly
in the U.S. and Canada, helping boost
global supplies. And some of the factors that pushed prices higher the two
previous years — political turmoil in
North Africa and the Middle East and
refinery disruptions in the U.S. —
haven’t materialized this spring.
At the same time, demand for fuels is
growing slower than expected. China,
the world’s biggest oil importer, is experiencing slower-than-expected economic growth. And much of Europe is
in recession.
In the U.S., wintry weather in the Midwest and Northeast has kept more drivers
off the roads this spring, analysts say.
The typical U.S. household will spend an
estimated $326 on gasoline this April, the
equivalent of 7.8 percent of median household income, according to Fred Rozell, an
analyst at GasBuddy.com. That’s $38 less

than last April, when households spent 8.8
percent of their income on gas.
“It’s the difference between going out to
dinner one more time or not,” says Diane
Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. “It matters.”
The U.S. government releases its initial
estimate of economic output during the
first three months of 2013 on Friday. Economists forecast the economy grew at an annual rate of 3.1 percent, compared with 0.4
percent in the final three months of 2012.
Philip Verleger, an economist who studies energy prices, says that many monthly
household expenses are fixed, but gasoline
is one of the few big expenses that varies.
That means when gasoline prices rise —
or fall — people notice.
“This is the equivalent of a pay raise,”
he says.
Shippers and airlines are also benefiting. Fuel is by far airlines’ biggest and
most volatile cost. A one-cent decline in
the price of jet fuel saves the U.S. airline industry $180 million over a year,
according to the industry group Airlines
for America. Lower energy prices also
give potential customers more money to
spend on air travel.
Airlines aren’t ready to celebrate yet
because the relief could prove to be
short-lived, says John Heimlich, chief
economist at Airlines for America. “It
looks promising but we’re not counting
our chickens,” he said.
Political turmoil or refinery problems
could crop up at any time. Analysts are
particularly worried about the transition
of power in Venezuela, a major oil exporter, after the death of President Hugo
Chavez. Violence has erupted in the wake
of a closely contested election, and the financial situation of the country is precarious. Analysts worry that the country’s oil
production could slip.
Also, refinery maintenance in the
Midwest is already affecting prices
there. Drivers in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana are paying only slightly less than
they did last year at this time, and prices
there have been creeping up over the
last couple of weeks.
Gasoline prices reached a high this year
of $3.79 per gallon on Feb. 27. Last year’s
peak was $3.94, and it came on April 6;
last year’s low was $3.22 on Dec. 20. The
average price for all of 2012 was $3.63 per
gallon. The Energy Department forecasts
the 2013 average will be $3.56.
Analysts say there are limits to how far
oil and gasoline prices will fall. Countries
in the developing world are still growing
fast and pushing world oil demand higher,
perhaps to a record this year. And if oil
prices fall too far drillers will be forced to
cut production to try to stem the decline.
That means Mike Mitternight, the small
business owner in Louisiana, won’t likely
get his wish: He’d like to see gasoline prices between $2 and $3 per gallon.
“I still think it’s high and we could bring
it lower,” he says.

POMEROY — A baking contest on Apple
Dumplings, Your Own
Recipe and Apple Scones
will be held on May 2 according to Adelle White
at the recent meting of
the Hemlock Grange.
Members were reminded of the Grange banquet
held last week, and of an
upcoming yard and bake
sale to be held on May 2
and 4 at the home of Sara
Cullums on Rocksprings
Road, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Plans were made for serving food on May 11 at an

auction and members will
be contacted about donations of food, water and
pop for both events.
The charter was draped
in memory of Charles
Blakeslee, a long time
member of Grange. Rosalie
Story conducted the meting opening with the pledge
and a patriotic song.
Kim Romine, lecturer,
used “Arbor Day” as her
program topic. She said
that J. Sterling Morton
and wife moved into
the Nebraska Territory
in 1854. They quickly

planted trees, shrubs, and
flowers. When he became
secretary of the Nebraska
Territory, he stressed the
importance of trees. On
Jan. 4, 1872,k Morton
proposed a tree planting holiday to one called
Arbor Day. The date was
set for April 180, 1872. It
was estimated more than
one million trees were
planted in Nebraska on
the first Arbor Day.
Today the most common date for the observance is the last Friday
in April. The saying

“Each generation takes
the earth as trustees,”
is credited to J. Sterling
Morton. Roy Grueser,
legislative
chairman,
announced that a lot of
rice producers are turning to corn. He said
Minnesota reported a
record sale of corn seed
this year.
Opay Dyer reported
on the Grange inspection and gave the grange
a “good job.” The may
meeting will be preceded
by a meat loaf dinner. All
Grangers are welcome.

France legalizes gay marriage after harsh debate
PARIS (AP) — France legalized
gay marriage on Tuesday after a
wrenching national debate that has
exposed deep social conservatism
in the nation’s heartland and triggered huge protests in Paris from
both sides of the divide. Legions of
officers with water cannon braced
outside the National Assembly for
possible violence on an issue that galvanized the country’s faltering right.
The measure passed easily in
the Socialist-majority Assembly,
331-225, just minutes after the
president of the legislative body
expelled a disruptive protester in
pink, the color adopted by French
opponents of gay marriage.
Justice Minister Christiane Taubira told lawmakers that the first weddings could be as soon as June.
“We believe that the first weddings will be beautiful and that
they’ll bring a breeze of joy, and
that those who are opposed to them
today will surely be confounded
when they are overcome with the
happiness of the newlyweds and
the families,” she said.
As night fell in Paris demonstrations by opponents of the law remained peaceful. Outside the parliament building on Paris’ Left Bank
there appeared to be more police
than protestors.
Claire Baron, 41, a mother of
two, said that she “will oppose the
bill until the end.”
“I’ll keep going to the protests,
I don’t give in. The bill is not effective yet, the president of the
Republic must listen to our voices.
We are here to defend family values. Children need a mom and a
dad,” Baron said.
In recent weeks, violent attacks
against gay couples have spiked
and some legislators have received
threats — including Bartelone,

who got a gunpowder-filled envelope on Monday.
One of the biggest protests
against same-sex marriage drew
together hundreds of thousands of
people bused in from the French
provinces — conservative activists,
schoolchildren with their parents,
retirees, priests and others. That
demonstration ended in blasts of
tear gas, as right-wing rabble-rousers, some in masks and hoods, led
the charge against police, damaging cars along the Champs-Elysees
avenue and making a break for the
presidential palace.
Following the vote members of the
gay and lesbian community flocked
to a square in central Paris, just behind City Hall, to celebrate the vote.
“I feel immense joy, gigantic joy,”
said 39-year old Sylvain Rouzel, “at
last, everyone has the same rights.
This is huge! France was lagging
behind. We had to wait 14 years after the civil union to finally obtain
the right to get married, with equal
rights for everyone. I feel great!”
Paris’ openly gay mayor, Bertrand
Delanoe, was among the crowd of
hundreds gathered for the street celebration in the Marais, the city’s historic gay neighborhood.
When President Francois Hollande
promised to legalize gay marriage, it
was seen as relatively uncontroversial. The issue has become a touchstone as his popularity has sunk to
unprecedented lows, largely over
France’s ailing economy.
But the most visible face in the
fight against gay marriage — a former comedienne who goes by the
name of Frigide Barjot — said the
movement named “A Protest for
Everyone” will continue beyond
the law’s passage and possibly field
candidates in 2014 municipal elections. She said anyone involved in

protest violence would be marginalized, but blamed the government
for its failure to listen.
“The violence comes from the way
in which this was imposed,” Barjot
told France Info radio.
French conservatives, decimated
by infighting and the election loss
of standard-bearer Nicolas Sarkozy,
found common cause in opposing
same-sex marriage. Hoping to keep
the issue alive, the conservative
UMP party planned to challenge the
law in the Constitutional Council.
“The controversy that we’ve seen
has been a stoked and manipulated
controversy that’s really kind of a
last-ditch attempt to block the tide
of history,” said Evan Wolfson,
president of the American activist
group Freedom to Marry, which
he said worked with the French on
the bill. “I don’t think it spoke to
a deep or wide opposition among
the French people.”
French civil unions, allowed
since 1999, are at least as popular
among heterosexuals as among gay
and lesbian couples. But that law
has no provisions for adoption, and
the strongest opposition in France
as far as same-sex couples goes
comes when children are involved.
According to recent polls, just over
half of French are opposed to adoption by same-sex couples — about
the same number who said they favored same-sex marriage.
Christophe Crepin, spokesman
for the police union UNSA, says
the extraordinary security Tuesday
includes a total of about 4,000 officers in the area near the National
Assembly building and water cannon positioned nearby. One group of
anti-riot police swarmed the banks of
the Seine River about a quarter-mile
from the legislature, hours before
protests were scheduled there.

Later in the meeting,
the resignation of Joe
Barnhart from the police
department was accepted.
As detailed in a previous
article in The Daily Sentinel, Barnhart left the
department to serve as

a sheriff deputy with the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Office and the Department of Job and Family
Services. His resignation
was effective April 12.
Council also discussed
personnel matters with the
Pomeroy Public Works.

Village Administrator
Paul Hellman had been receiving a temporary pay increase due to the absence
of a second licensed waste
water plant operator.
Hellman’s base salary
has been set at $47,850,
with the temporary pay

increase bringing his annual pay to approximately $60,000 according to
discussion.
Following a unanimous
vote Monday, Hellman’s
base pay will be $55,000
annually beginning on the
first pay period in June.

Council will revisit an increase to $58,000 at the
first of the year.
Finance
committee
chairman Robert Payne
stated that the additional
money can be used to help
train current employees to
fill the vacant position of

the second operator.
The hiring of Scott
Miller as a part-time officer for the police department was approved retroactive to April 18.
Additional information
from Monday’s council meeting will appear in a later edition of The Daily Sentinel.

Trial
From Page 1
Saunders then reported that
he saw Marr walk back to his
residence, which was located just
a short distance away, and, from
what he observed, Saunders reported that Corfias had noticed
something missing, possibly
pills, and, after telling Saunders
to wait for him, he walked to and
entered Marr’s residence.
“He told me not to move, he’d
be right back, that he was going to go in there and kill him,”
Saunders said. “I just blew it off,
I didn’t think nothing of it.”
After being in the residence
for a very short period of time,
Saunders stated that he saw
Corfias emerge from the house
and wipe an object off in the
grass — an object he believed
to be a knife, before tossing the
weapon away.
Saunders further reported that
he did not see or hear anything
during the short period of time
when both Marr and Corfias
were inside the residence.
Following this, Saunders reported that Corfias asked him
to come inside Marr’s residence
and help him.
“I went inside the house,
and there was nothing I could
do. He wanted to take Thomas
to the hospital in the car, so I
walked out to get the car, and,
when I came back in, he was
on the phone with 911,” Saunders stated.
Saunders stated that he
observed Marr in the living
room, and he was positioned
halfway on the couch and halfway on the floor.
“He was fighting for his

breath, and he was disoriented,” Saunders stated. “He had
a puncture wound on his right
chest and just a little stream of
blood. It wasn’t much.”
Saunders further stated that,
after entering the residence for
the second time after he had
retrieved Corfias’ vehicle, he
quickly went to rouse Alexis
Pickens, who had been asleep
inside Marr’s residence, before
leaving the residence himself.
During cross examination,
defense attorney Barbara Wallen pointed to Saunders’ criminal record, including a previous
breaking and entering case from
Vinton County for which he received probation.
In addition, Wallen asked
Saunders about his drug use in
February 2012.
While Saunders stated that he
did use methamphetamine on a
daily basis in February 2012, he
was not on drugs on the morning
of the incident.
Next to take the stand was
Travis Foster.
Foster, who reported that
he was an inmate in the Gallia County Jail from September to December of last year,
discussed conversations that
he had with his fellow inmate
Corfias last year.
Corfias, who was arrested on
unrelated drug-related case in
September 2012, has remained in
custody since his arrest last year.
Foster, who did not report
the information that he had
gleaned from Corfias to law
enforcement until last month,
reported that Corfias had discussed his case with him while

he was incarcerated.
Among the information Corfias allegedly told Foster was
that the incident resulted from
a drug deal, and that, following
a scuttle, Corfias had stabbed
Marr last February.
During questioning by the
defense, Foster reported that
he had been incarcerated in the
Gallia County Jail late last year
in relation to an aggravated robbery case that was dismissed in
early December.
In addition, Foster admitted that, while in jail, inmates
tend to discuss their cases
with their fellow inmates and
tend to tell “stories” that may
or may not be true.
However, Foster subsequently
admitted, through questioning
by Mulford, that, as with any
day-to-day conversation, he assumed that the stories told to
him by other inmates were true,
even though anything told to
him could be true or false.
The final witness to take the
stand on Tuesday was Special
Agent Shane Hanshaw with the
Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation.
Hanshaw, who aided in the investigation in this case, conducted numerous interviews in relation to the murder of Thomas
Marr, including two lengthy interviews with Corfias late in the
evening on February 22, 2012.
In the interviews, played in
their entirety to the jury on
Tuesday, Corfias relayed to Hanshaw the events of February 22,
2012, as well as the night prior
to Marr’s death.
Corfias reported, in the inter-

view, that he had traveled with
his niece, Alexis Pickens, to a
gambling facility in Henderson,
W.Va., on February 21 and had
arrived back at their respective
and adjacent homes at approximately 3:30 a.m. that night.
The following day, Corfias told
Hanshaw that he had walked
to Marr’s residence late in the
morning, where his niece was
also staying, to find his niece
asleep in her bed and Marr
asleep on the couch.
After trying and failing to
rouse Marr, Corfias stated
that he thought that the victim had overdosed on drugs
and called 911.
Corfias further stated in his interview that he did not observe
the wound on Marr’s torso until
he was asked to raise Marr’s shirt
by the 911 dispatcher before preforming CPR.
While on the stand, Hanshaw
reported on several significant
statements and patterns that
emerged during his interview
with Corfias last February.
“What struck me very odd
was when I told him that
Thomas Marr had actually
passed away, his was reaction to that was, ‘well, that
sucks,’ and he just went
right on, and he continued to
change the subject,” Hanshaw
stated.”Every time I tried to
get onto the subject of what
actually happened here when
he went in the room, we went
off on some trip about somebody else, or about his kids
going to college, or about people from Detroit, just numerous things to get off the sub-

ject. I felt that was very odd.”
During her cross examination,
Wallen pointed to the fact that
no murder weapon had every
been found in this case and also
discussed Corfias’ demeanor
during the interview and his lack
of sleep at the time the interview
was conducted.
While Wallen pointed to the
fact that extreme lack of sleep
can affect a person’s thought processes, Hanshaw stated that, in
his experience, lack of sleep affects everyone differently.
Wallen also asked Hanshaw
about his interviewing techniques in that, she stated that
he would ask several off topic
questions while Corfias would
discuss those several “off topic”
subjects during the interview.
“My point is, my client would
go off on a tangent, because you
would allow him to go there,”
Wallen stated.
Hanshaw stated that, during
the time of this interview, he
was trying to obtain a witness
statement from Corfias, and,
that it is up to the witness in
any case to provide the information about what they saw
and heard.
“I tried to hear what he had
to say, however, what the subject was the murder of Thomas
Marr, and we kept getting away
from that, and I was trying to get
back to that,” Hanshaw said.
At the conclusion of Hanshaw’s testimony, the state rested its case.
The defense in the case against
Semaki G. Corfias will begin its
case on Wednesday morning
in the Gallia County Common
Pleas Courtroom.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— The Meigs softball team
claimed a season sweep of
visiting Athens Monday
night following a 13-1
triumph in a Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division
matchup at Salisbury Field
in Meigs County.
The Lady Marauders (95, 3-2 TVC Ohio) took an
early 1-0 lead after an inning
of play, then the hosts sent at
least 10 batters to the plate
over the next two frames
— which resulted in 11
runs and a 12-0 advantage
through three complete.
The Lady Bulldogs (3-8,
2-4) mustered three of their
four hits in the fourth inning, which resulted in a run
that trimmed their deficit

a 12-run edge, then retired
Athens in order to wrap up
the mercy-rule decision.
It was the second time
this year that Meigs defeated AHS in five innings. The
Lady Marauders posted a
14-3 win in The Plains back
on April 4 in the first TVC
Ohio matchup.
Meigs outhit the guests by
a sizable 16-4 overall margin
and left six runners on base,
while the Lady Bulldogs
stranded four on the bags.
Both teams committed two
errors apiece in the contest.
Liddy Fish started
the first inning with a
one-out double and later
scored the eventual gamewinning run on a two-out
single by Harley Fox.
Brook Andrus delivered
a two-RBi triple in the second for a 3-0 edge, then Tess
Phelps blasted a three-run
home run to give the hosts
a 6-0 cushion. Back-to-back

singles by Allyson Davis
and Sadie Fox and an error
allowed Davis to score the
sixth run of the second inning, making it a 7-0 lead
through two complete.
Meigs followed by sending 11 batters to the plate in
its half of the third, which resulted in five runs on seven
hits — making it a 12-1 contest after three full frames.
Perry led the top of the
fourth off with a double,
then later scored on a double by Mattey that made the
deficit 7-1 through threeand-a-half frames.
Andrus received a leadoff
walk to start the bottom of
the fourth and later scored
on a single by Fish, wrapping up the scoring at its
dozen-run outcome.
Haley English was the
winning pitcher of record after allowing one earned run,
four hits and zero walks over
four innings while striking

out three. Destinee Blackwell worked a perfect inning
of relief for MHS as well.
Carey took the loss for
Athens after surrendering
12 earned runs, 16 hits and
five walks over four frames
while fanning one.
Fish led MHS with a
game-high four hits, followed by Phelps with three
safeties. Andrus, Davis,
Ariel Ellis and Sadie Fox
each added two hits to the
winning cause, while Harley
Fox also had a safety.
Phelps drove in a teambest four RBIs, while Andrus and Fish each added
two RBIs and a team-best
three runs scored. Phelps
and Ellis also scored twice
each in the triumph.
Perry, Mattey, Carey and
Hoon each had a hit for the
guests. Perry scored the
lone run and Mattey had the
Lady Bulldogs’ lone RBI.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant softball team celebrated Senior Night in style Monday evening after doubling up visiting Gallia Academy in a 6-3
non-conference victory in Mason County.
The Lady Knights (14-7) never trailed in the contest
and outhit the Blue Angels (10-6) by a 7-3 overall margin, as the hosts broke a three-all tie in the bottom of the
fourth after a pair of triples and a sacrifice fly plated two
runs — making it a 5-3 game.
Point Pleasant tacked on an insurance run in the
fifth for a three-run edge, which ultimately proved to
be the final outcome.
After a scoreless first, Karissa Cochran was hit by a
pitch and Megan Davis doubled to put a pair of Point
runners in scoring position. Kaci Riffle hit into a sacrifice that plated Cochran for a 1-0 lead, then Madison
Barker hit into a sacrifice that allowed Davis to score
for an early 2-0 edge.
Bekah Darst singled with two outs in the third, but Cochran followed with an RBI single that allowed Darst to
score for a 3-0 advantage through three full frames.
GAHS made its big charge of the night in the fourth,
as the guests got baserunners on a Kassie Shriver walk
and Maggie Westfall single to start the inning. Megan
Cochran followed with a one-out RBI single that plated
Shriver for a 3-1 deficit, then Chelsy Slone brought both
Westfall and Alisha Thomas — who pinch-ran for Cochran — plateward with a single off of reliever Madison
Barker, making it a three-all contest.
Riffle started the bottom of the fourth with a triple and
later scored on a triple by Barker, making it a 4-3 contest.
Barker later scored on a sacrifice fly by Josie Fisher to
claim a 5-3 lead through four complete.
Davis reached on a two-out error in the fifth and
later scored on a Riffle single, completing the scoring
at its 6-3 outcome.
Gallia Academy committed the only two errors of the
contest and stranded four runners on base, while the
hosts also left four on the bags.
Barker was the winning pitcher of record after allowing zero runs, one hit and three walks over 3.1 innings of
relief work while striking out six. Violet Pelfrey took the
loss after surrendering six runs, seven hits and zero walks
over six frames while fanning five.
Riffle led PPHS with two hits, followed by Darst, Cochran, Davis, Barker and Fisher with a hit apiece. Riffle
and Barker each drove in two RBIs for the hosts, while
Davis scored twice to lead the Lady Knights.
Westfall, Cochran and Slone had a hit apiece in the
setback, with Slone leading the team with two RBIs.
Shriver, Westfall and Thomas each scored once for
the Blue Angels.
PPHS seniors Sarah Hussell, Kaci Riffle, Kaitlin
Liptrap, Megan Davis and Josie Fisher were honored
after the game for their years of dedication to the softball program.

Blue Devils blast Point in 5 innings, 13-1

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — It started with a
blast and pretty much ended the same way.
The Gallia Academy baseball team started Monday night’s game with a leadoff home run and scored
nine times in the top of the fifth to secure a comfortable 13-1 mercy rule victory over host Point Pleasant
in a non-conference matchup in Mason County.
The visiting Blue Devils (14-1) led 4-0 through
two innings of play, but the Big Blacks (13-8)
countered with a run in the bottom of the fourth
to close their deficit down to three scores through
four complete. GAHS retaliated by sending 15 batters to the plate in the fifth, which resulted in nine
runs and a sizable 13-1 edge.
PPHS — which was outhit 11-4 overall in the setback — went down in order in its half of the fifth,
allowing Gallia Academy to claim its second straight
victory following the five-inning finale. Point Pleasant, with the loss, dropped its second straight overall
decision after winning 10 straight.
Ty Warnimont started the game by drilling an
0-1 pitch deep over the left-center field wall to give
GAHS an early 1-0 edge, then Jimmy Clagg added a
leadoff double and later scored on a two-out single by
Eric Ward in the second inning for a 2-0 lead.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Wednesday, April 24, 2013:
This year you focus on your ability
to communicate your feelings. You
often express your anger in such
a way that others are shocked and
could distance themselves. This type
of behavior could become an issue
in a relationship. If you are single, do
not be surprised if a bond could be difficult to get off the ground, especially
through spring. If you are attached,
make sure you are not blaming your
sweetie for something that really is
your fault. You find LIBRA particularly
desirable.
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 could be juggling a bit
more than you want to. Honor your
priorities, and eliminate anything that
is insignificant and/or futile. You could
find this process to be difficult, as it
is not easy for you to admit that your
efforts fall short. Tonight: Go along
with a suggestion.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH You pull the wild card financially. You are more likely to encounter extremes, so remain focused when
dealing with money. You will be a lot
happier as a result. Don’t take risks
before seeking out other opinions.
Tonight: Get to the gym or take a
walk.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Your creativity emerges
when dealing with a loved one. A
solution emerges, no matter what you
have to deal with or what choices you
have to make. Push comes to shove
in a difficult situation. You feel better
than you have in a long time. Tonight:
Have fun!
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You come from an
anchored point of view. Sometimes
others see you as a stick in the mud
when it comes to taking risks. You will
have one opportunity to jump on an
offer. Be sure of yourself when taking
this gamble. Tonight: Have a discussion with a family member.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Listen to news with focus
and determination. Though everything
might seem fine, you could become
aware of someone’s suppressed
anger. Try to address this issue, but
understand that this person might not
be cognizant of his or her deeper feelings. Tonight: Visit with friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Be aware of the possibilities
surrounding an offer. Look at alternative options — they might be more
numerous than you had originally
thought. Know that you can reach
a goal without disturbing the angry
sleeping tiger within. Tonight: Put your
best foot forward.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Your smile and positive
approach allows greater give-andtake. You know what is happening
below the surface, and you will choose
to boycott it. Your intensity makes all
the difference. Others simply can’t
stay away. Tonight: Go with the flow.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HH Know that something is going
on within you. Before erupting with
angry words or behavior, evaluate
what is really bothering you. You could
be uncomfortable with the process,
but you need to root out what is going
on. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s
while you can!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH A meeting provides direction as well as feedback. You’ll see
someone’s anger, perhaps for the first
time. A change in how you discuss
certain personal matters might be
appropriate. Your caring means a lot
to someone in your daily life. Tonight:
Where the action is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You are changing — and
quickly, at that. Your belief that you
gain as a result of resolving a problem
is worth exploring. You are capable
of enormous growth and change.
Consider your options more openly.
Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Keep reaching out to
someone at a distance whom you
genuinely care about. The unexpected
often occurs. You’ll need to pull back
and rethink a personal matter. Be
careful when dealing with mechanical
equipment. Use care with spending.
Tonight: Return calls.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Take news with a grain of
salt. You might not understand everything that is happening around you,
but you have a theory about the different elements involved. Unfortunately,
you could have your rose-colored
shades on. Tonight: Dinner with a
favorite person.

Tornadoes breeze
past Waterford, 14-1
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

WATERFORD, Ohio — The
Southern baseball team maintained
its two-game lead atop the league
standings Monday night following a
14-1 victory over host Waterford in a
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Washington County.
The Tornadoes (12-1, 9-0 TVC
Hocking) picked up their 29th consecutive league triumph and sixth
overall win in the mercy-rule decision, as the guests outhit the Wildcats
by a sizable 14-1 overall margin.
SHS led 14-0 headed into the home
half of the fifth, but Waterford (3-11,
3-5) managed its only hit and run
during that final plate appearance to
wrap up the 13-run outcome. Southern also claimed a season sweep after posting a 10-0 victory at Star Mill
Park back on April 5.
The Tornadoes received a leadoff
home run from Hunter Johnson and
scored again on an error for a 2-0 lead
after the first, then sent 10 batters to
the plate in the second — resulting in
a six-run explosion for an 8-0 cushion.

HARTFORD, W.Va. —
The Lady Falcons remain
atop the league.
The Wahama softball
team stays unbeaten in the
the Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division after
defeating visiting South
Gallia by a count of 10-8
Monday night.
After sending down
South Gallia (4-8, 2-5 TVC
Hocking) in order in the
top of the first the Lady
White Falcons (13-10, 7-0)
rallied for five runs in the
bottom of the first, sparked
by a homerun off the bat of
freshman Morgan Harrison.
The Lady Rebels answered with six runs on
the strength of four hits
and two walks in the top of
the second to take the lead.
SGHS added another run in
the top of the third to push
its lead to 7-5. The Lady
Falcons batted around in
the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring four runs and
gaining the lead.
Wahama added another
run in the fifth inning and

led 10-7. SGHS added one
run in the sixth inning but
couldn’t complete the comeback and WHS claimed the
10-8 triumph.
Kelsey Billups earned the
victory after giving up eight
runs on eight hits and five
walks in 5.1 innings. Billups
struck out six batters. Destiny Divers earned the save
as she came in the game
with the bases loaded with
one out in the sixth inning.
Divers set down all five batters she faced to seal the
WHS win.
Caitlyn Vanscoy suffered
the loss after giving up 10
runs on five hits and six
walks. Vanscoy struck out
five batters in a complete
game effort.
Paige Gardner led the
Lady Falcons with two hits
on the night, followed by
Billups, Harrison and Shalyn Greer with one each.
Harrison’s homerun and
Billups’ double were the
lone WHS hits to go for
extra-bases. Rachel Roque
scored twice to lead Wahama, while Billups, Harrison, Greer, Gardner, Bailey
Hicks, Sierra Carmichael,

Darian Weaver and Elisabeth Hendrick each scored
once. Greer stole a game
high three bases, while
Roque, Weaver, Hendrick
and Gardner each stole one.
Meghan Caldwell and Ellie Bostic each marked two
hits, pacing the Lady Rebels. Vanscoy, Sara Bailey,
Rebecca Rutt, and Alicia
Hornsby each had one hit
in the game. Vanscoy and
Bostic each had a double,
marking the extra-base hits
for SGHS. Bostic crossed
the plate twice, while Bailey, Vanscoy, Caldwell,
Hornsby, Shelby Sanders
and Shania Boswell each
scored once. Caldwell and
Lesley Small each stole a
base in the contest.
Wahama finished with 10
runs, five hits and two errors, while the Lady Rebels
marked eight runs, eight
hits and one error.
The win snaps the Lady
Falcons three game skid,
while SGHS has now lost
back to back games.
Wahama took the first
meeting between these
teams by a count of 14-3 in
Mercerville.

Dragons rally past River Valley, 9-4
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

CHESHIRE, Ohio —
The River Valley baseball
team struck first, but visiting Fairland struck more
often Monday night during
a 9-4 decision in an Ohio
Valley Conference matchup
in Gallia County.
The host Raiders (4-11,
1-6 OVC) scored a run
in each of the first two
frames for an early 2-0
cushion, but the Dragons
(8-5, 5-1) responded with
a run in the third to cut
their deficit down to 2-1.
FHS rallied with three

runs in the top of the
fourth for a 4-2 edge, but
River Valley answered with
two scores in its half of the
frame for a four-all contest
after four complete.
Fairland,
however,
scored twice in the fifth
and three more times in
the sixth for a five-run
cushion, and RVHS had no
answer the rest of the way
— allowing the Dragons to
claim a season sweep. FHS
defeated the Raiders by an
11-4 count on April 5 in
Proctorville.
Fairland outhit the hosts
by an 8-6 overall margin
and RVHS committed all

WATERFORD, Ohio — It may not have
been pretty, but a win is a win regardless
of how it looks.

CHESHIRE, Ohio — Unfortunately for the Lady Raiders, it’s not
always how you start but rather how
you finish that’s important.
The Fairland softball team scored
five runs over the final two innings
to claim the 11-6 Ohio Valley Conference victory over River Valley in Gallia County.
The Lady Dragons (12-6, 5-2 OVC)
got things going with a run in top of
the first inning but River Valley (9-6,
2-5) answered with two runs in the
bottom of the first on Noel Mershon’s
third homerun of the season. Fairland retook the lead with two runs in
the top of the second inning.
The Lady Raiders again had an
answer as Chelsea Copley drove
Amanda Eddy in with a double and
then scored on a Libby Leach single.
Leach came around to score on a
double by Ashley Cheesebrew, giving RVHS a 5-3 advantage. Fairland
trimmed the lead to 5-4 with a run in
the top of the fourth inning.
The Lady Dragons broke the game
open with four runs in the sixth inning aided by three River Valley errors. Fairland scored once in the top
of the seventh to push its margin to
9-5. Copley scored her second run of
the game in the bottom of the seventh but the Lady Raiders couldn’t
complete the comeback and fell 9-6.
